And then ... the heroes arrived. Screams filled the air as each

One of the first speakers was a hoarse-voiced Mayor Gavin
Newsom, who wore an orange tie and looked positively giddy
onstage with the Giants.
“The torture is over,” Newsom said.
He might just as well have been talking about himself and
the lieutenant governor’s race, which he won on Tuesday,

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Giants playoff push provided a
boost to Caltrain as Peninsula fans
filled trains to San Francisco to root on
the team.
Just yesterday, Caltrain carried an
additional 19,000 riders to San
Francisco for fans eager to see the
Giants celebrate winning the World
Series for the first time since 1954.
For the five playoff and two World
Series games the Giants played at
home, Caltrain added more than 60,000
riders, according to spokeswoman
Christine Dunn.
“Caltrain is thrilled to be part of the
Giants’ winning season,” Dunn said.
Yesterday morning, Caltrain added
five extra trains to meet the demand and
added extra service in the afternoon, as

IT’S “GROUND” some bad press — and needs a change of
name to change its fortunes.
Middle-class Staines might have wal-
lowed in happy obscurity had it not been
picked by British comedian Sacha Baron
Cohen as the home of Ali G, his tracksuit-
wearing wannabe gangsta who special-
ized in hip-hop-inflected malapropisms.
Ali G’s adventures cast the town of
to Roman times.
“Ali G did us a favor and put Staines on
the map,” Tribick told The Associated
Press on Wednesday. “The trouble is, no
one knows where on the map it is.”
Tribick argued for changing the name
to Staines-on-Thames or Staines-upon-
Thames, which would highlight the
area’s proximity to the River Thames, the
lifeline that also cuts through London. It
might even boost business and tourism in
time for the 2012 Olympics, he says.
Some critics say the proposed rebrand-
ing would be prohibitively expensive and
point out that the proposed name —
Staines-upon-Thames — might draw the
same kind of ridicule. If the new name
were to be approved, maps, street signs
and a whole host of other documents
would have to be changed.
Anne Damerell of the Staines Town
Society called the idea “pretentious non-
sense.”
The name change request has to go

needing council approval before it goes

Robbery suspect caught
‘red-handed’due to dye
CHARLEROI, Pa. — The FBI says a
southwestern Pennsylvania bank robbery
suspect has been caught “red-handed.”
Fifty-year-old Kurt Fritzel, of
Charleroi, is in jail after police and the
FBI say he robbed a Citizens Bank
branch a few doors down from his apart-
ment. Witnesses say a dye pack hidden in
the money he stole exploded in his hands,
creating a red cloud that led authorities to
his home.
Authorities searched Fritzel’s apart-
ment above a thrift and used furniture
shop Monday after the heist. Senior FBI
Agent David Hedges, who heads the
bureau’s Charleroi office, declined to
comment except to call it a “pathetic
case.”

Group says ex-BART
cop should get 14 years
LOS ANGELES — A judge is being urged
to sentence a former transit police officer to
14 years in prison for killing an unarmed man
at an Oakland train station.
A group called the Los Angeles Coalition
for Justice for Oscar Grant says it has about
500 postcards and letters urging a judge in
Los Angeles to give Johannes Mehserle the
maximum sentence. Spokeswoman Caro
Gomez says the cards will be presented at the
judge’s office Wednesday afternoon.
The ex-Bay Area Rapid Transit officer was
convicted of involuntary manslaughter for
killing Oscar Grant on New Year’s Day 2009.
Mehserle testified that he wanted to shock
Grant with a stun gun but pulled his handgun
by mistake.
His trial was moved to Los Angeles because
of intense media coverage and racial tensions.
Mehserle is white and Grant was black.
Teen pleads not guilty to attempted murder
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 17-year-old boy who prosecutors say was
the driver and lookout in a multi-city crime
spree, including a coastside shooting of a gas
station clerk, the slashing of a taxi driver and
armed robberies, pleaded not guilty to
attempted premeditated murder.
Robert John Hererra, of Pacifica, entered
the same plea to attempted robbery, assault
with a semi-automatic firearm, two counts of
robbery, one count of attempted carjacking
and vehicle theft. He waived his right to a
speedy trial and returns to court Jan. 7 for a
preliminary hearing.
At the same hearing, co-defendants Ronald
Resendez, 17, of Oakland, and Daniel Bustos-
Mendez, 18, of Menlo Park, received the same
preliminary hearing date as Hererra. They had
previously entered not guilty pleas separate
from Hererra.
LOCAL
SCENE OF RECOVERY
Resendez is also charged with personally
using a firearm.
Prosecutors believe Resendez, who is
charged as an adult, was the ringleader and
shooter in the string of crimes.
According to authorities, the three defen-
dants and a minor robbed a Shell gas station
on Hickey Boulevard in Pacifica on Aug. 20.
Hererra drove the group in a Toyota stolen
from Sunnyvale and acted as lookout while
the others went inside.
When the clerk was slow opening the regis-
ter, Resendez allegedly shot him four times in
the legs before the group fled without taking
any cash.
The group then headed to South San
Francisco where they allegedly robbed at gun-
point a 7-Eleven store on Callan Boulevard,
using the same method of Herrera as lookout.

Governor setting sights on
federal climate change law
By Christina Hoag
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger is seizing on the defeat of an
oil-industry attempt to derail California’s land-
mark global warming law, saying Wednesday it
provides proponents of clean energy and cli-
mate control the perfect opportunity to put
those issues back on the national agenda.
Schwarzenegger attributed the resounding
failure of Proposition 23 to a wide breadth of
opposition that brought together groups that
traditionally are at loggerheads, including
Democrats and Republicans and environmen-
talists and business leaders.
He said the measure’s lopsided defeat — 61
percent of voters rejected it — gives supporters
of global warming regulation the momentum to
push a similar law through Congress.
“This was such an extraordinary coalition.
We’re going back to Washington to get this
jump-started again,” the governor told reporters
on a conference call. “The Democrats can’t do
it without the Republicans. We’ve got to get
together to find the sweet spot.”
The 2006 Global Warming Solutions Act,
which made California the first state in the
THE DAILY JOURNAL
nation to enact greenhouse
gas regulations, is a signa-
ture of Schwarzenegger’s
administration. It orders
industrial emission limits
starting in 2012 and fossil
fuel energy reductions
commencing in 2020.
An effort to adopt similar
Arnold legislation in Congress has
Schwarzenegger stalled.
Proposition 23, which
was backed largely by out-of-state oil compa-
nies and refiners, sought to delay implementa-
tion of the restrictions until the state unemploy-
ment rate, which now stands at 12.6 percent,
drops to 5.5 percent and holds steady there for
a year. That has occurred just three times in
three decades.
Former Secretary of State George Shultz,
who co-chaired the No. on 23 campaign, said
its defeat shows climate change is no longer a
partisan issue.
“Somehow it’s gotten out that Republicans
don’t cotton to this issue. We got to be sure to
wake up our fellow Republicans,” said Shultz.
“This worked because it was broad-based. We
have to proceed on a nonpartisan basis.”

acknowledged Wednesday that he faces a In a post-election news conference, the for-
daunting task in mer two-term governor said his first step will
returning to be to meet with Republican and Democratic
t h e legislative leaders Thursday in Sacramento to
office begin discussions.
h e Still, the current Democratic state attorney
held general is sure to face a polarized Legislature
and a state still reeling from the recession
when he is sworn in to replace Republican
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger next January.
“Going forward, I would say it’s daunting.
But California has always come back, from
probably at least seven recessions since World
War II,” Brown said as he stood on a wooden
coffee table to address reporters at his down-
town Oakland headquarters.
California has faced deep budget deficits for
several years, forcing Schwarzenegger and the
Legislature to make tens of billions of dollars
in program cuts and raise taxes temporarily.
Despite those measures, the red ink persists.
The general fund this year is
$15 billion less than it
was just three
years ago.
How Brown will accomplish his goal of
returning California to prosperity is unclear.
He has not offered any detailed budget plans,
and his critics worry he will want to raise
taxes with a ballot measure.
Brown sought to downplay that possibility,
noting California voters just rejected an initia-
tive that would have levied an $18 vehicle
license fee to fund state parks.
“I would say the electorate is in no mood to
add to their burdens,” Brown said.
Instead, Brown hopes to cut wasteful spend-
ing and lower-priority programs — which he
did not identify — to save money. He also
expects more revenue to flow into state coffers
as California’s economy rebounds.
If that doesn’t happen, Brown acknowl-
edged, “We’re going to have a very difficult,
painful and possibly acrimonious process.”
He also wants to travel California and hold
a “civic dialogue” about the kind of govern-
ment California voters want.
“It’s not just what the legislators say or what
the governor can muscle them into doing by a
vote or two. What do the people of California
want in terms of the key elements of
California government?” Brown said. “The
voters ultimately have to say, this is what I
want.”

Masked armed man robs restaurant
Police are searching for a man who robbed a
Menlo Park sandwich shop at gunpoint
Tuesday night.
At about 6:15 p.m., a masked man entered a
Quiznos located at 604 Santa Cruz Ave.
The suspect flashed his waistband at employ-
ees, showing he was armed, before he took an
undetermined amount of cash from the register,
police said.
The masked man then corralled the employ-
ees into the restaurant’s backroom and fled out
the front door of the empty sub shop.
No injuries were reported, police said.
According to witness accounts provided to
police, the suspect entered a dark-colored Ford
Mustang that was seen exiting the parking lot
and traveling southbound on El Camino Real.
The suspect is described as a white man
standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 165
to 175 pounds. He was last seen with a large-
caliber firearm. He was wearing a white shirt
and a mask that covered his face and head.
Police ask anyone with information about the

Voters sought change
By Michael Rubinkam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — From
Pennsylvania to Arkansas, New
Hampshire to Ohio, the electorate
turned over incumbents Tuesday
like a gardener turns over earth.
Republicans reaped an impressive
harvest nationwide, but in some
places their sweep reversed balances
of power where Democratic roots
run deep.
The GOP’s reward: Governing a
fickle, angry electorate in a time of
busted state budgets and high anxi-
ety about jobs and joblessness. And
for voters in states that flipped from
Democratic to Republican control,
what they sought — change — is
definitely in store.
In Ohio and Wisconsin, high-
speed rail projects may be scuttled.
In Pennsylvania, privatization of the
state liquor stores is back on the
table. In the Democratic stronghold
of Minnesota, long-dormant GOP
proposals to establish racetrack
gambling, require a photo ID for
voting and amend the state
Constitution to ban gay marriage
may find new life. And everywhere,
Republicans promised to focus on
the economy.
Eating breakfast at a diner near
Allentown, Pa., voter Eric
Heiselman sounded almost giddy as
he described the backlash against
Democrats and President Barack
Obama.
“I liked Mr. Obama’s prediction
of change. We didn’t get the change
we want, so we’re changing again,”
Heiselman said Wednesday morn-
ing. “Which is a good thing. It’s
what America is all about.”
Key GOP lawmaker cool
to high-speed rail grants
By Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The
Republican lawmaker in line to
head the House Transportation
Committee says he wants to re-
examine $10 billion in federal
grants for high-speed train service,
one of President Barack Obama’s
signature programs.
Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., the com-
mittee’s ranking GOP member, told
the Associated Press in an interview
on Wednesday that he believes
high-speed trains are a good idea,
but he doesn’t agree with the proj-
ects selected by the Transportation
Department for funding.
The biggest awards announced
last January were $2.3 billion to
California to begin work on an
800-mile-long, high-speed rail
line tying Sacramento and the San
Francisco Bay area to Los
Angeles and San Diego; $1.25 bil-
lion to Florida to build a rail line
connecting Tampa on the West
Coast with Orlando in the middle
of the state, eventually going
south to Miami; $1.1 billion to
Missouri and Illinois to improve a
rail line between Chicago and St.
Louis so that trains travel up to
110 mph, and $810 million to
Wisconsin to build a new line
between Madison and Milwaukee,
which eventually could be part of

“The administration
squandered the money,
giving it to dozens and
dozens of projects that
were marginal at best to
spend on slow-speed
trains to nowhere.”

a line connecting Minneapolis to
Chicago.
Mica complained that most of the
projects weren’t truly high-speed
trains like the trains in Europe and
Asia. He also said that the
Northeast is probably the only
region in the United States with a
population density great enough to
financially support a high-speed rail
network.
“I am a strong advocate of high-
speed rail, but it has to be where it
makes sense,” Mica said. “The
administration squandered the
money, giving it to dozens and
dozens of projects that were mar-
ginal at best to spend on slow-speed
trains to nowhere.”
Mica said he wants to “refocus on
several projects that could be a suc-
cess, particularly in the Northeast
corridor, which was almost totally
neglected by the administration.
We’ll revisit all of those projects.”

Haiti wants camp evacuated
ahead of new tropical storm
By Jonathan M. Katz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — It
was the jewel of Haiti’s post-earth-
quake recovery: an organized relo-
cation camp with thousands of tents
billed as hurricane-resistant, lined
up in neat rows on graded mountain
soil.
Now, staring down a possible hit
later this week from a hurricane,
officials say Corail-Cesselesse is not
safe. On Tuesday, the government
advised the estimated 7,850 resi-
dents of its primary relocation camp
to ride out the storm somewhere
else.
“We’re asking people in Corail to
voluntarily move from where they
are and go to the houses of family or

friends. The places the government
has identified are churches and
schools that are available for shelter
from the storm,” Haiti civil protec-
tion official Abel Nazaire told the
Associated Press.
Camp managers held a “loud-
speaker meeting” with megaphones
to tell residents about the evacuation
order, said Bryant Castro, the
American Refugee Committee
staffer managing the camp.
Residents were told to seek any
home they could find and were
expected to start leaving as soon as
Wednesday.

Schwarsenegger,Schwartzeneggar,Schwar ...Brown Contact Us

A
nything was going to be
better than
Schwarzenegger. Voters
could have chosen Meg. Voters
did choose Jerry.
Either way, Whitman or Brown,
chances were good — actually,
chances were certain — the out-
come would be better than the
man each sought to replace.
After all, seven years have
passed since Arnie took the guber-
natorial oath and I still can’t man-
age to spell Schwarzenegger cor-
rectly. E-R, A-R. The right combi-
nation never wants to stick. My
memory isn’t typically too shabby
but a dozen letters into spelling
the guvernator’s real last name
and there is less than total recall.
The first few errors were
claimed as typos. The next were
blamed on typing too fast. The
rest drew gentle editorial chiding.
The mix-up over the last two
letters of his surname got to be
such a mental block, corrective
action was taken. A notebook
page with the correct spelling,
highlighted and underlined twice,
hangs on the back of my cowork-
er’s computer, facing me at an eye
level that can’t be missed every
time I write yet another sad budg-
et tale.
Spellcheck is no help. The pro-
gram doesn’t even make a feeble
attempt to guess what I might be
trying to spell. In fact, spellcheck
is probably pretty happy, too, that
Schwarzenegger is in his final
months of office. Short of his

return to action flicks and my
jumping over to the movie review
beat, spell check and I are safe
from future editing freakouts over
my inability to click out his name
on the keyboard without first
spelling it on in my mind.
So yes, regardless of
Proposition 19 or Proposition 26
or attorney general or congres-
sional control, Election Night was
always going to end on at least
one happy note.
Except for maybe if Libertarian
Dale Ogden won a trip to the state
capital. That “g” and “d” so close
together; that could have been
tricky for a girl knocked out of
the fourth-grade spelling bee by
leaving the “g” out of recognize.
Or what about American
Independent Party candidate
Chelene Nightengale? How many
times would I have accidentally
renamed her Charlene?
In any case, although I opposed
the recall, it wasn’t simply
because Davis is a pretty hard
name to foul up. I just figured
voters who failed to put in new
blood during a regular election
shouldn’t whine mid-term.
However, after Schwarzenegger
cast his political spell over the
California electorate, I could see
how.
He rode into office on a recall
wave amid a candidate pool of
politicos, porn stars, crazies, for-
mer child actors and pretty much
anybody who could pony up
enough signatures to merit a spot
on the ballot. In contrast to them,
is it any wonder voters looking
for some fresh air went with the
man who beat down the Predator
and wrangled a kindergarten
class?
Besides, if the constant belit-
tling of the state’s public schools
is to be believed, reading, writing
and ‘rithmetic aren’t key lessons.
Voters probably worried more
about what Schwarzenegger
planned to do than how they
planned to spell his name.
Yet they should have seen the
writing on the wall. Sure, he
looked good on paper but that’s
because we didn’t take the time to
properly vet the individual drama
he would cause.
What if the same happens with
our newest governor-elect?
Perhaps Jerry Brown suddenly
starts tacking an “e” on the end or
slipping in a silent “q”? What if
Moonbeam is a moniker he wants
used more often — is that one
word or two? Maybe hyphenated?
Please tell me Jerry doesn’t have a
secret fondness for “ie.”
So we wait. I wait for January
when the frayed paper sign can
come off down the computer and
added to my stash of work-related
mementos. More importantly, vot-
ers wait to see if what was prom-
ised is what is actually delivered
and if we eventually rue getting
what we asked for. Now matter
how it’s spelled, in politics that is
the real name of the game.

T
he Obama administration
has started a P.R.
blitzkrieg “to educate and
inform the American people”
about Obamacare. The San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors has
lent its efforts and formed the
Community Health Reform
Advocacy Committee “to counter
this lack of information” about
Obamacare (“Health reform at the
local level,” guest perspective by
Carole Groom and Adrienne
Tissier in the Oct. 5, 2010 edition
of the Daily Journal). To that end,
I thought I’d join in the effort,
too, with some information I sus-
pect the propaganda machine will
forget to mention.
Another blitzkrieg is also head-
ing our way — taxes. In brief,
higher income earners (over
$250,000 for married couples)
will face an additional 0.9 percent
of withholding for FICA and a 3.8
percent tax on the lesser of invest-
ment income or income over
$250,000. If you sell a house in
the Bay Area, chances are you
will be taxed that additional 3.8
percent on your sale. There will
be a minimum excise tax of $695
on uninsured individuals, an
excise tax of 2.3 percent on pur-
chases of medical devices (buy
your dentures before 2013!), a
restriction on the amount of med-
ical expenses we can deduct from
our taxes, and, oddly, a 10 percent
tax on indoor tanning services.
The immediate effect of
fiscate even
more of our
earnings.
A de facto
tax increase
resulting from
Obamacare is
higher health insurance premiums.
When companies are forced to
offer more benefits and enter into
unprofitable contracts, how can
premiums not rise? A new 40 per-
cent excise tax on “Cadillac”
insurance plans will also raise
premiums. Andy Griffith tells us
of the benefits the new law brings
— free checkups and lower pre-
scription costs. But our education
system must be worse than feared
if we now believe we can get
something for nothing. Just as
there is no such thing as a free
lunch, medical care doesn’t come
free either. If you’re not paying
your own bills, then your neigh-
bors are paying for you.
Another consequence of
Obamacare is that many
Americans will lose their private
coverage, which many of us quite
like, and be dumped into the gov-
ernment subsidized insurance sys-
tem. Insurance companies in sev-
eral states have calculated that
they can no longer afford to offer
child-only insurance policies and
have dropped that product. Where
will these uninsured children go, I
wonder? Some businesses say
they can no longer afford to cover
their employees and predict they
will have little choice but to join
the government market. Add to
that the Americans who may no
longer be able to maintain their
preferred insurance because the
government’s distortion of the
market has rendered it unafford-
able, and there will be just no
escaping the government’s reach
into our lives.
Our legislators claim their
intent was ensuring health care
for all. That could have been
accomplished in a five-page bill
creating insurance pools for those
with preexisting conditions and
raising the income level to qualify
for Medicaid. But in the 1,000
plus pages of Obamacare, the
devil is truly in the details. It is
time to look at actual conse-
quences and judge the merits of
the law, and of lawmakers, by that
standard.
The health care bill doesn’t
improve medical care, but it does
affect a massive transfer of
wealth. And with all transfers of
money, the middle man gets his
cut. Obamacare is also the not-so-
secret Trojan horse that progres-
sives believe will put the private
insurance industry out of business
and inevitably lead to govern-
ment-run health care
(http://bit.ly/WFEmK). They may
tell us the horse is really a giant
piñata full of goodies, but the
truth comes out when they talk
amongst themselves.

Many joined together in San Bruno last
Friday for the town hall meeting providing
updates after the Sept. 9 explosion. And the
meeting was not short on interesting notes.
The Internal Revenue Service was on
hand with agents set up to discuss specific
questions for individuals. They were waiting
for residents in the St. Robert’s Catholic
Church confessionals.
An individual was also assigned to answer
such phone calls for the San Bruno residents.
The representative asked residents not to
laugh when he revealed the individual’s name
— Kin Kong.
And although many people were respectful,
one woman escorted herself out after calling
the California Public Utilities Commission
representative a liar who was “blowing smoke

f Halloween is beginning to feel a lot
like Christmas, there’s a reason for that.
“Black Friday” — the day after
Thanksgiving, when retail stores typically
begin turning a profit on the year — has tra-
ditionally been the start of the economically
vital holiday shopping season.
Stores, however, are edging toward making
Halloween the starting line for holiday shop-
ping. In many stores, seasonal sales and pro-
motions began.
By itself, Halloween isn’t a particularly
big retail event. The National Retail
Federation predicted that spending would be
$5.8 billion, back to 2008 levels just before
the economic roof fell in.

For years, Burlingame police had battled
rowdy bar crowds on Burlingame Avenue.
The number of violent crimes reported at

The stores were happy to sell large quanti-

The idea was to increase traffic in the

Dow hits a two-year high
By Davis K. Randall

1,337.10
NEW YORK — The Dow Jones
industrial average reached its highest
level in two years Wednesday after the
Federal Reserve announced plans to buy
$600 billion in Treasurys to stimulate the
economy.
The central bank had hinted for two
months that it planned a major bond-
buying program in order to encourage
borrowing and spending by lowering
interest rates. The Fed made more
explicit commitments in its announce-
ment than many investors had been
expecting, which helped push stock
indexes and most Treasury prices higher.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 26.41, or 0.2 percent, to
11,215.13, its highest close since the
peak of the financial crisis in September
2008. Its previous high for 2010 of
11,205 was reached on April 26. The
Dow had traded above that level four
other times in the past two weeks.
Broader indexes also rose. The

The S&P 500 index, the measure most
closely watched by professional
investors, is still about 20 points, or 1.6

technology-focused Nasdaq closed at its

New reality: Obama, GOP talk compromise
President Barack Obama holds a post-election news conference in the East Room of the White House.
New Congress to affect overseas ties
By Steven R. Hurst
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The
Republicans’ huge victory in con-
gressional elections could crimp
President Barack Obama’s hopes
of resetting relations with Russia
and open the way for a new get-
tough approach with China.
The congressional shake-up after
Tuesday’s vote also could bring
better backing for Obama’s poli-
cies in Afghanistan. But it could
force the president to ease demands
that Israel make concessions to the
Palestinians on settlement building
in the West Bank, a crucial issue in
stalled peace talks.
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton has said the elec-
tion results will not change the
U.S. course abroad because “poli-
tics stops” at the nation’s borders.
Republicans and Democrats, she
said, can “build coalitions” and
“find allies on issues that are in
America’s interests.”
Despite her words, the dramatic
shift in the American political
scene is bound to have an effect.

WASHINGTON — A chastened
President Barack Obama signaled a
new willingness to yield to
Republican demands on tax cuts and
jettisoned a key energy priority on
Wednesday, less than 24 hours after
he and fellow Democrats absorbed
election losses so severe he called
them a shellacking.
But he bluntly swept aside any
talk of repeal of his signature health
care law — right after the House
Speaker-in-waiting, Rep. John
Boehner of Ohio, vowed
Republicans would do everything
they could to wipe the legislation off
the books.
Boehner, a 60-year-old veteran of
two decades in Congress, spoke at
what amounted to his national debut
as head of an incoming conservative
majority that will include long-expe-
rienced lawmakers and tea party-
backed political newcomers alike.
He declared, “Our new majority will
be the voice of the American people
as they expressed it so clearly yes-
terday.”
Separately, the Federal Reserve
announced new steps designed to
further lower interest rates on loans
and lead to more job creation, using
powers denied mere politicians.
Taken together, the fast-paced
series of events confirmed the pri-
macy of the economy as an issue in
a country with 9.6 percent unem-
ployment, record home foreclosures
and disappointingly slow growth.
In purely political terms, they also
underscored a dramatic overnight
power realignment after two years of
grinding partisanship in Congress
followed by a coarse and costly
campaign.
Thursday • Nov. 4, 2010 11
For all the uncertainty they
loosed, there was little that was
ambiguous about the election
results. House Republicans picked
up 60 seats to capture a majority
and led for five more, ending a four-
year span in which Nancy Pelosi
served as the first female speaker in
history.
The GOP picked up at least six
seats in the Senate in races reflecting
both the peril and the potential of a
tea party movement that emerged
during the campaign. Tea party
favorites were elected to Senate
seats in Florida, Kentucky and Utah,
but they lost in Nevada, Delaware
and Colorado — at a time when
Republican victories in all three
would have created a 50-50 tie.
Speaking to reporters in the
Capitol, Boehner said he and fellow
Republicans hope the president
“will continue to be willing to work
with us” on the priorities of creating
jobs and cutting spending.
But, he added, “We’re going to
continue to renew our efforts for a
smaller, less costly and more
accountable government here in
Washington, D.C.”
Obama struck similar themes at
his own news conference a few
hours later, saying he was eager to
sit down with the leaders of both
political parties “and figure out how
we can move forward together.” He
added, “It won’t be easy,” noting the
parties differ profoundly in key
areas.
Sounding more conciliatory than
in the past, the president said he was
open to compromise with
Republicans on their demand for an
extension of all of the Bush-era tax
cuts due to expire on Jan. 1, includ-
ing those that apply to upper-income
earners.

PAL’s final CCS berths decided
Aragon rallies to
beat Woodside
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Since Aragon started a girls’ water
polo program 11 years ago, the
Dons have made the Central Coast
Section tournament 10 straight
times. A win over Woodside
Wednesday in the Peninsula Athletic
League’s CCS Play-in Game would
punch the Dons’ ticket to the post-
season for the 11th straight season.
It wasn’t easy. The Dons rallied
from a 6-2, second-period deficit to
record a 10-9 win at the CSM
Aquatic Center.
“To keep that streak alive is a big
accomplishment,” said Aragon
coach Nick Gonzales. “That was the
most important thing for our pro-
gram.”
This was the match Woodside had
targeted as well. As it became evi-
dent early in the season, the
Wildcats were head and shoulders
better than the rest of the competi-
tion in the PAL’s Ocean Division,
coach Laura Reynolds started prep-
ping her team for this playoff game.
But the Wildcats suffered a huge
blow when hole set Hayley Parker
earned her third ejection of the
match early in the third quarter,
forcing her to the sideline for the
remainder of the match.
Without Parker, who scored five
goals for the Wildcats, the Woodside
offense stagnated. Aragon, mean-
while, got a jolt of confidence with
arguably the best player in the pool
out of the game and took advantage.

Warriors improve to 3-1 Panthers’ defense
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Monta Ellis scored 17 of his
39 points in the fourth quarter, Dorell Wright
made a career-high seven 3-pointers and the
Golden State Warriors overcame a sloppy offen-
sive night to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 115-
109 on Wednesday.
Ellis sat out the final 37 seconds of the third
quarter and was on the bench for the first 4:48 of
the fourth when Memphis pulled within 94-89
on Hasheem Thabeet’s free throw. He returned
and scored five straight points, made a key steal
off Memphis center Marc Gasol, then scored
Golden State’s final five points on free throws.
Wright had 25 points and six rebounds, and
David Lee added 15 points and 16 rebounds for
the Warriors (3-1), who committed a season-
high 20 turnovers.
Rudy Gay scored a season-high 35 points and
had seven rebounds for Memphis, which lost its
third straight at Oracle Arena. Mike Conley
added 18 points and a career-high 13 assists.
The Warriors played their second straight
game without guard Stephen Curry, who has a
right ankle sprain. Curry originally hurt the
ankle in Golden State’s final preseason game,
then aggravated it in consecutive home games
against Houston and the Los Angeles Clippers.
He is listed as day to day.
“A lot of the swelling went down and now it’s
Warriors 115, Grizzlies 109
just a matter of trying to continue the rehab and
strengthening of it,” coach Keith Smart said.
“We’re going to give him some more time off
before rushing into it. We have to err on the side
of caution right now just because we’re talking
about playing the long haul and getting our-
selves ready for the long push later on.”
That opened the door for Ellis, who repeated-
ly attacked the Grizzlies inside. He shot just 12
of 26 but went 14 of 19 from the free throw line.
Memphis was also short-handed. Zach
Randolph, the team’s leading rebounder last
season, sat out his fourth straight game with a
lower back contusion.
Coming off a 108-83 loss to the Los Angeles
Lakers on Sunday, Golden State got another
outstanding night from Wright. Wright, who
signed a three-year deal with the Warriors in the
offseason after six years with Miami, came
within one point of his career best and one 3-
pointer of matching Jason Richardson’s fran-
chise record.
The Grizzlies fell behind by 18 points mid-
way through the third quarter but pulled within
110-106 on Gay’s 3-pointer with 55 seconds
remaining. After Ellis made three straight free
throws, Gay made another 3-pointer to make it
113-109 with 29.9 seconds left, but Memphis
couldn’t get any closer.

HMB prevails in
wild 4th quarter
By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Say this for Half Moon Bay’s
Spencer White: The kid is a closer.
Scoring goals to end the third and
fourth quarters, White propelled the
Cougars to a 10-9 victory
Wednesday over hosting Carlmont
in the Peninsula Athletic League’s
boys water polo qualification match
for the Central Coast Section play-
offs. White, a junior, made a shot
beyond the midpoint of the pool with
eight hundredths of a second left in
the third and then the game-winner
in the fourth.
“I was incredibly excited to even
be in this position,” White said,
adding that helping his team to its
first-ever CCS berth with the win
was simply icing on the cake.
Half Moon Bay took the lead
twice in fourth quarter, only to have
the Scots climb back to tie the game
each time. With a 9-all deadlock,
White got excellent position in the
hole to pin the defender to his back
and slot a shot in the lower right cor-
ner of the cage.
The Scots had held Half Moon Bay
at arm’s length for much of the con-
test, but a third and final ejection of
Carlmont’s Kieran Snaith, who scored
three goals in the first half, turned the
tide in the Cougars’ favor. Half Moon
Bay took its first lead of the game, 7-
6, early in the final period.
“We know (Snaith) is their best
player,” Cougars coach Rich Bassi
said. “When he got tossed ... we did-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — The Athletics are bringing
back key veterans Mark Ellis and Coco Crisp for
the 2011 season while cutting ties with third base-
man Eric Chavez.
The move with Chavez is not a surprise con-
sidering all his injuries in recent seasons. He said
in early September he may be forced to retire after
13 years in the big leagues with the franchise. He
was the longest-tenured member of the A’s.

Huff wants to return to Giants
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Aubrey Huff won a
World Series with the San Francisco Giants
and he wants to stay put right where he is.
The free agent first baseman was back at the
ballpark Wednesday after raising his lucky red
thong for thousands of fans during a down-
town victory parade. He said that he hopes to
return to the Giants for 2011 and beyond.
“Oh, absolutely, without question,” Huff
said. “I won a World Series here. I’ve been in
last place my whole life. I won a World Series.
The fans are crazy. You’d be an idiot not to
want to come back here. I love it. I’ve been on
five different teams. I liked them but I didn’t
love them. I love this place.”
The 33-year-old Huff reached the playoffs
for the first time in his 11-year big league
career in his first year with the Giants. He hit
a two-run homer in a 4-0 Game 4 victory.
San Francisco signed Huff to a $3 million,
one-year contract last January to provide a
boost in the middle of the batting order. Huff
hit .290 with a team-leading 26 home runs and
86 RBIs while playing in 157 games. The

He certainly showed plenty of improve-
ment, not to mention versatility playing both
first and left field, in bouncing back from a
career-worst .241 batting average in 2009
with Baltimore and Detroit. He wound up
with 15 homers and 85 RBIs in 150 games
between the two teams last year.
Huff feels at home in the Bay Area after
only one season.
“I didn’t know San Francisco had that many
fans, that many people,” Huff said. “That was
something, man. The schools were out, most of
the people were off work. It was unbelievable.”
Even the rival Oakland Athletics, who
swept San Francisco in the 1989 World Series,
showed their appreciation for the Giants. The
A’s took out a full-page ad in The San
Francisco Chronicle saying, “Like everyone
else, we’re inspired.”
Also Wednesday, World Series MVP Edgar
Renteria, who hit a three-run homer off Texas
ace Cliff Lee in the seventh inning of Monday
night’s 3-1 clincher, said he isn’t ready to
decide if he will retire. Injured most of the sea-
son, he said he is going to give himself a
chance to rest for a while before determining
his future.
Renteria spent three stints on the disabled list

The A’s paid Chavez a $3

exercising a $12.5 million
option. Chavez just finished

season, and committed just

and finished the year playing with a torn biceps.
“It’s always hard to think about retiring,”
Renteria said. “I want to rest. Whew, I feel great.”
Ace Tim Lincecum, who beat Lee in the
opener and again in the Series clincher, doesn’t
plan to rest for long. He said he would return
home to Seattle — where he plans to buy a new
place — and take three weeks off before
resuming his offseason workout program.
The two-time reigning NL Cy Young Award
winner altered his routine to focus more on
leg strength and core work during a career-
worst five-star losing streak in August.
The shaggy-haired pitcher is still soaking in
the fact he just won a World Series ring, the city’s
first championship since the franchise moved
West in 1958. When he hopped the dugout rail to
celebrate after the final out at Rangers Ballpark
in Arlington, he was in disbelief.
“It hadn’t really settled in,” the 26-year-old
Lincecum said. “You’re just kind of standing
there waving your hands and screaming, kind
of more in shock than anything. Like, this real-
ly happened, can you believe it, that’s what
you’re asking everybody and asking yourself. It
hasn’t really set in yet, maybe a little more
today just because of the fans and getting to
watch their reaction to seeing us. I’m still wait-
ing for those tears. I’ll see when those happen.”
“Mark is still one of, if not the best, second
basemen in the game,” Forst said. “He showed
late in the season what he’s still capable of doing
offensively.”
Having Ellis and Crisp in the fold for next sea-
son gives the young A’s two proven veterans.
Crisp hit .279 with eight homers, 38 RBIs and
a career-high 32 stolen bases despite being limit-
ed to 75 games because of injuries. The outfield-
er spent stints on the disabled list with a broken

day roster — and a strained rib cage.

Keselowski could deliver Penske’s 1st NASCAR title

Ex-manager Anderson
placed into hospice
DETROIT — Former Detroit Tigers and
Cincinnati Reds manager Sparky Anderson has
been placed in hospice care at his Thousand
Oaks, Calif. home for complications resulting
from dementia.
Anderson’s family said in a statement
Wednesday that they appreciate the support and
kindness that friends and fans have shown
throughout the Hall of Famer’s career and retire-
ment. No further details were released.
SPORTS
The 76-year-old Anderson was inducted into
baseball’s Hall of Fame in 2000, culminating a
major league career that included one nonde-
script season as a player and an historic run as a
manager.
He won 2,194 games as a manager, which was
the third-highest total in major league history
when he retired, trailing Connie Mack and John
McGraw. He now stands sixth, also trailing
Tony La Russa, Bobby Cox and Joe Torre.
Anderson was the first manager to win World
Series titles in both leagues and the only manag-
er to lead two franchises in career wins.
He led Cincinnati’s Big Red Machine to
World Series wins in 1975-76. He won four
National League pennants in Cincinnati from
1970-78, then was fired after consecutive sec-
ond-place finishes.
Anderson went to the American League and
won there, too, directing the Tigers to a World
Series title in 1984 and a division title in 1987.
He retired after the 1995 season and was added
to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee.
Cubs say Sanberg will
not manage Triple-A Iowa
CHICAGO — The Cubs say Ryne Sandberg
will not return as manager of Triple-A Iowa next
season.
Thursday • Nov. 4, 2010 15
General manager Jim Hendry said in a confer-
ence call from Arizona on Wednesday that the
Hall of Fame second baseman would “always be
welcome” in Chicago.
Sandberg spent the past four years managing in
the Cubs’ farm system. He was among the lead-
ing candidates for the opening created by Lou
Piniella’s retirement. But Chicago instead elevat-
ed interim manager Mike Quade to the perma-
nent job last month after he managed the team
through the final weeks of the season.
The Cubs also announced two coaches. Pat
Listach will be Quade’s bench coach and Dave
Keller was named major league staff assistant.

Sports Brief
Rescued Chilean miner
prepared for NYC marathon
SANTIAGO, Chile — Edison Pena has pre-
pared for the New York City Marathon like no
other competitor: running each morning and
afternoon in steel-tipped electrician’s boots that
he cut down to ankle-high shoes.
Pena ran back and forth along a 1,000-yard
path through the darkness and stifling heat and
humidity inside the collapsed gold and copper
mine where he and 32 other men were trapped
for 69 days before last month’s dramatic res-
cue.
Pena ran to clear his head, to push away his
anxiety.
And he ran, fellow miners said, because he
wanted to be ready to represent them in a
and intercept overthrown passes, Carlmont
marathon, where he might be able to spread a
message about what he hopes will be the lega-
cies of their ordeal: safer workplaces, closer
families and more trust in God.
“If I had to run barefoot, I would have done
it,” Pena told Associated Press Television News
after his rescue. “Life has given us a new chal-
lenge — to care more deeply, to be more pres-
ent with the people we love.”
The 34-year-old Pena has been among the
eight seconds later.
more outspoken of the rescued miners, a man
willing to show his emotions, even tears, as he
talks of his intense desire that Chile’s mineral
riches don’t come at the expense of working
people ordered into mines known to be unsafe.
“I would like things to change,” he said. “It
was for something that I ran inside the mine. I
think that things can be done. I think we suf-
fered too much, that this too has to be worth
something.”

BOYS

Carlmont coach Zachary Wolfe gave credit
to the Cougars for capitalizing on their late
opportunities, while also lauding the perform-
ance of his goalie, Ian Wikle, a four-year var-
sity player who kept the Scots in the contest
with 17 saves.
“I can’t say enough good things about
(Wikle),” Wolfe said. “He’s the heart and soul
of our team.”
Despite Wikle’s best efforts to deflect shots
couldn’t hang on as momentum shifted Half
Moon Bay’s way.
“It was hard. They knew (Snaith) is our best
player so they were probably stoked,” Wolfe
said. “I was still very pleased with the way we
responded.”
Carlmont jumped out to a 2-0 lead to start
the game after Adam Govani and Snaith each
found the back of the cage. But the Cougars
responded with 2:12 left in the first quarter
when Matt Tolar netted a skip shot following
Snaith’s first ejection. Snaith took out his
aggression almost immediately on the oppos-
ing end, scoring from the middle of the pool
The Cougars closed out the quarter with
goals by Thomas Meador and Carter White,
the MVP of the Ocean Division and twin
brother of Spencer White, to tie the game at 3-
all. Carter and Spencer White finished with
two and three goals, respectively.
Govani and Snaith started the second period
in similar fashion to the first, as both had goals
to make it 5-3 with 5:05 to play in the half.
Half Moon Bay answered again to tie the con-
test at 5-all after scores by Carter White and
Jack Dobbrow. Some confusion occurred to
end the half, resulting in the final six seconds
being replayed. Carlmont’s Adam Fecher
from the left flank on a lob at the buzzer to put
the Scots up 6-5.
Tolar tallied his second goal of the game in
the third to tie the game at 6-all, but the Scots’
Govani scored the third of his four goals to
make it 7-6. Spencer White’s buzzer-beater
made it 7-all entering the final quarter.
Carlmont, which was forced to play the
CCS qualifying match after finishing fourth in
the PAL’s Bay Division, finishes the season
with a 6-17 record. The Cougars, winners of
the PAL Ocean Division with an 11-1 league
record, will now wait until this weekend to
find out who they will face at CCS.

Ota, who finished with six goals on the evening, and trailed
just 6-4 at halftime.
Woodside stretched its lead to 8-5 on a goal from Lauren
Arshakuni with 5:48 left in the third, but the Dons scored the
final three goals of the period to tie the game at 8 heading into
the fourth period.
Nichole Kwee gave Aragon a 9-8 lead less than two minutes
into the final period when her point-blank shot went through
the hands of the Woodside goalie. The Wildcats tied the game
at 9 on a goal from Leeann Patrick. She took a long cross-pool
pass at the far right post, walked the ball in and, after a couple
of feints, beat the Aragon goalie.
The Dons got the game winner with 3:22 to play when Ota
converted a Kwee pass into their 10th goal of the game.
Woodside had one last shot to tie the game when the
Wildcats had the ball with 14 seconds left. They got the ball
into Arshakuni in the set, but her shot with four seconds left
was partially blocked by a defender and easily saved by the
Aragon goalie.
“It really hurt to lose Hayley,” said Woodside coach Laura
Reynolds. “But the other girls stepped up. We had chances to
tie or go ahead.”
No one stepped up more than goalie Yia Kaliadzitis, who
kept Woodside in the game early as she smothered a number
of Aragon shots. Kaliadzitis finished with 10 saves.
Without her, Aragon could have blown the game wide open
in the first half, but Kaliadzitis stopped at least a half dozen
point-blank shots.
“She was my most valuable player tonight,” Reynolds said.
Despite the fact Aragon was not getting goals early,
Gonzales liked what he saw from his team.
“The first quarter and a half, I thought we were playing
great. We just weren’t scoring the ball,” Gonzales said. “It was
just a matter of us slowing down (the game mentally). Just
being patient. They didn’t let the 6-2 deficit get them down.”

Ankle sprain limits Asomugha

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — The Oakland Raiders are
hoping a few days of rest will be enough to get
Nnamdi Asomugha back on the field.
Asomugha missed practice because of a
sprained right ankle Wednesday but Oakland
coach Tom Cable is hopeful the two-time Pro
Bowl cornerback will be able to play in the
Raiders’ critical AFC showdown with first-
place Kansas City this week.
“He’s improving, he is starting to put some
weight on it,” Cable said. “He and I talked this
morning and we’ll see where he’s at tomorrow
and again on Friday. We’re trying to take
every precaution right now to keep him off his
feet.”
Asomugha injured himself early in the
fourth quarter of last Sunday’s 35-7 win over
the Seattle Seahawks when he stepped on the
foot of wide receiver Golden Tate. He needed
assistance leaving the field and was taken to
the locker room but did
not return.
That left the Raiders
secondary without its two
starting cornerbacks. Chris
Johnson did not play in the
game due to the lingering
effects of a concussion he
suffered against Denver on
Nnamdi Oct. 24.
Asomugha
Johnson was cleared to
return earlier this week
and practiced with the starting defense
Wednesday. Stanford Routt practiced in place
of Asomugha while rookie Jeremy Ware, who
replaced Asomugha against Seattle, also took
reps with the defense.
“It’s the same way you go through anything
with your starting running back not going to
be in or your starting receiver or middle line-
backer,” Routt said. “You just have to go out
and play football. No matter what, the ball
will get kicked off on Sunday at 1:15 p.m.”
That might be understating things a bit.
Asomugha is widely considered one of the
top cornerbacks in the NFL and has been to
the Pro Bowl each of the past two seasons.
Offensive coordinators and opposing quarter-
backs routinely scheme their attack away
from his side of the field in a nod to
Asomugha’s skills and reputation.
Asomugha has started all but three games
over the past five seasons. The last game he
missed was on Dec. 28, 2008, when he sat out
the season finale against Tampa Bay after get-
ting poked in the eye the previous week.
Quarterbacks Jason Campbell and Bruce
Gradkowski split reps in practice with
Oakland’s first-team offense. Campbell has
started the last two games but Cable has said
that Gradkowski — who sat out the last three
games with a shoulder injury — remains the
team’s unquestioned starter when healthy.
Though he took snaps with the offense dur-
ing team drills, Gradkowski is still limited in
practice.
“He did good and he’s moving forward rap-
idly now,” Cable said. “The question will be
kind of what we talked about a few weeks ago,
if he can do everything that’s necessary to go
out and play.”
Cable said he will wait until later in the
week to make a decision who will start against
the Chiefs.
Notes: Cable said the Raiders discussed the
possibility of putting in a claim for WR Randy
Moss but decided against it. “We looked at
everything in terms of what’s best for our
football team and I just feel like right now
we’re OK,” Cable said. Moss spent two sea-
sons in Oakland before being traded to New
England in 2007. ... TE Zach Miller (arch) did
not practice and is questionable, though Cable
said his condition is improving.

NFL Notebook
Titans claim WR
Randy Moss off waivers
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee
Titans passed on wide receiver Randy Moss
once before, back in the 1998 draft.
Not again.
The Titans claimed Moss off the waiver
wire Wednesday, choosing not to take any
risks with receiver Kenny Britt missing at
least one game with an
injured right hamstring.
Tennessee, then the
Oilers, drafted Kevin
Dyson with the 16th pick
overall in 1998. They
passed on Moss and said
then it was because of
concerns about his charac-
Randy Moss ter. Coach Jeff Fisher,
speaking three hours
before Wednesday’s waiver deadline, said the
personnel department decided Dyson was a
better fit.
Now the Titans are 5-3, a half-game back in
the AFC South with five divisional games
remaining down the stretch. Fisher said in a
statement after the Titans were awarded Moss
that the receiver offered an opportunity to
upgrade their offense.
Moss can help a team that has not won a
playoff game since January 2004, and Fisher
said Britt, who hurt his right hamstring in last
week’s 33-25 loss to San Diego, will miss the
Titans’ game Nov. 14 at Miami.
Buffalo Bills claim LB
Merriman off waivers
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Having the NFL’s
worst record has at least one perk: It gave the
winless Buffalo Bills the opportunity to claim
Shawne Merriman off of waivers to improve
their porous defense.
The move was made Wednesday, a day after
Merriman was placed on 24-hour waivers by San
Diego.
Buffalo (0-7) had the first option on acquiring
the one-time feared pass rusher because it has the
NFL’s worst record. Waived players are awarded
to the worst team that submits a claim.
The move was made by first-year general man-
ager Buddy Nix, who is familiar with Merriman.
Nix previously worked in the Chargers’ front
office when they drafted the outside linebacker
with the 12th pick in 2005. Merriman won the
NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award in ’05.
It’s unclear when the 26-year-old Merriman
will join the Bills, who play Chicago (4-3) at
Toronto on Sunday.
To make room on the roster, the Bills placed
offensive tackle Cornell Green on injured
reserve. Green had started the first five games at
right tackle before sustaining a knee injury.
Nicknamed “Lights Out,” Merriman had pre-
viously been regarded as one of the NFL’s most
feared players. He’s a three-time Pro Bowl selec-
tion. In 60 career games, he has 43 1/2 sacks —
but only four in his past three seasons.

Oregon’s offense causes defenses problems

By Anne M. Peterson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EUGENE, Ore. — The answer to top-ranked
Oregon’s offense seems to be stamina.
Oregon’s spread-option, no-huddle offense is
so fast it simply wears defenses out. And oppo-
nents certainly aren’t helped by the fact that the
Ducks’ star running back, Heisman hopeful
LaMichael James, doubled up on the track team
in the offseason.
“You’ve got to be really prepared for their
tempo, and not just for the first quarter, but four
quarters,” Washington State coach Paul Wulff
said. “I think that’s the challenge people have —
that if they don’t get on you early, they’re going
to eventually get on you because you can’t stay
that pace for four quarters.”
Oregon (8-0, 5-0 Pac-10) leads the nation in
total offense with an average of 572.9 yards a
game, and is ranked third with 308.8 rushing
yards. The team has dropped an average of near-
ly 56 points on each of its opponents.
Washington State, despite its issues this sea-
son, actually put up an admirable fight against
the Ducks, losing by “just” 43-24. The UCLA
Bruins had a harder time in their 60-13 loss to
Oregon.
“When you can spread the field like they do
and you can’t get pressure on the quarterback,
it’s difficult to cover the width of the field as well
as the depth of the field for as long as we were
asked to,” Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel said. “So
they had us in that regard.”
Oregon coach Chip Kelly said there is no real
magic to his offense.
Kelly developed his version of the spread

said he tailored it when he came to Oregon as
offensive coordinator in 2007 to accommodate
running backs Jonathan Stewart and Jeremiah
Johnson, as well as dual-threat quarterback
Dennis Dixon.
Already running a no-huddle offense, Oregon
further sped things up this season by streamlin-
ing play-calling, using distinctive posters flashed
from the sidelines.
The Ducks’ speed makes them explosive.
Through eight games, 39 of Oregon’s plays from
scrimmage have been for gains of 25 yards or
more, and 22 of those have resulted in touch-
downs. Twenty-five of Oregon’s 51 touchdown
drives this season have come in five plays or less.
It also makes them efficient. Oregon is so
quick to score that they rank 115th in the nation
in time of possession, averaging 26:46 minutes
per game.
The quickness is enhanced by James, who is
averaging a BCS-best 172.9 yards a game as well
as 189.6 all-purpose yards.

“The key to stopping [Carlisle] was being aggressive,”
Philipopoulos said. “Play on his side of the line of scrim-
mage, instead of trying to contain and react. Blow through
blockers, don’t try to string anything out.”
Stopping Carlisle was not just a happenstance occurrence.
The Panthers prepared all season to get to this point and the
Panthers wouldn’t be 5-3 on the season and tied for first atop
the Bay Division standings at 3-1 if they weren’t just plain

And now that the offense has found its rhythm, the

“You put all those things together — between talent, prepa-

Major League Baseball may not have come to the Bay
Area until 1958, but the love of the game was well ingrained
— and entrenched — long before the Giants moved to San
Francisco. There was a thriving hodgepodge of semi-profes-
sional, amateur, club and sponsored teams who played
throughout Northern California. They didn’t play before
tracts. They played for the love of the game.
John Ward is fascinated by the so-called “sandlot” game
and culture. After organizing a reunion of Peninsula semi-pro
players in 2006, Ward has gone to great length to collect and
organize arguably the most extensive history of sandlot base-
ball in Northern California.
Ward’s work can be seen at www.goodoldsandlotdays.com
and it is constantly being updated as new information comes
in. There are more than 1,500 team pictures, box scores and
standings, programs and other memorabilia.
Ward will be giving a presentation at the Burlingame
Public Library Sunday, Nov. 14 titled “Bats, Bunts and
Backstops,” during which he will discuss the story of sandlot
baseball in Northern California, with a special emphasis on
Burlingame’s Washington Park.
The presentation will be from 2 p.m.-4 p.m. in the Lane
Community Room.

Time to bring the garden inside
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
If you haven’t brought your
houseplants back inside for the
winter months, you’d better hurry.
Some parts of the country have
already had snow, never mind
harmful frosts. In my garden in
Rhode Island (hardiness zone 6b), I
try to wait as long as I can before
bringing my houseplants inside,
but the time has come to start mov-
ing even my cool-loving plants
back into the great indoors.
Some plants prefer to cool down
gradually before being brought in
for the winter. Cool-tolerant house-
plants such as citrus, camellias and
cymbidium orchids do better when
allowed to experience the cool
nights and warm days that fall
offers. This gradual fluctuation in
temperatures helps plants like my
potted citrus collection acclimate
to the cool sunny spot I keep the
plants in over the winter months.
Without the luxury of a Floridian
back yard, I am forced to winter
my citrus trees in a sunny room
that I maintain at 55 degrees all
winter. They hold onto their color-
ful fruit all winter, and when they
burst into bloom in late
winter/early spring the clean, fresh
smell of citrus blossoms permeates
the house. Being kept at cooler
temperatures also means they are
ready to go back outside that much
earlier in spring.
My cymbidiums are the last
plants I bring inside every fall. This
popular orchid can even tolerate
light frosts without any signs of
damage. Falling evening tempera-
tures and declining daylight com-
bine to cause the plant to form
flower spikes that will bloom sev-
eral months later.
Most houseplants, however, are
best brought inside well before
evening temperatures drop too low.
Many houseplants will drop their
leaves when exposed to the sudden
changes in temperature when
moved from outside to inside,
especially combined with the lower
humidity levels in most homes.
This is a problem many people
experience when they bring their
ficus trees back indoors.
While almost all tropical house-
plants benefit greatly from time
spent outdoors during the summer
months, they should be brought
back inside before there is a great
divergence between inside and out-
side temperatures. Remember that
humidity levels tend to be lower
inside our homes than outside, and
your plants will grow much better
if you increase humidity levels
around them when you bring them
in.
SUBURBAN LIVING Thursday • Nov. 4, 2010 19
Typically it is best to repot plants
during spring months just prior to
the growing season. During the fall
months when light levels begin to
decrease, most plants either slow
down or stop growing. However, if
your plants have not been repotted
in a while, or if you can see a build
up of white residue caused by salt
or mineral buildup on the edges of
the soil surface, then repotting in
the fall is warranted.
I grow several varieties of fancy-
leafed geraniums that I save from
year to year. Before I bring them in
for the winter I cut them back, root
prune them, refresh their potting
soil and put them back into the
same pots. Refreshing the soil
allows the plants to put on a flush
of new growth prior to the shortest
days of winter when they will not
grow much at all. The new fall
growth is what I will use when tak-
ing cuttings of these beautiful
plants next spring.
Repotting plants refreshes pot-
ting soil, which breaks down over
time. As soil breaks down it
reduces air space around your
plants roots increasing the risk of
root diseases. Repeated watering
also leaches out minerals and nutri-
ents, which can slow down a
plant’s growth and flower produc-
tion.
Moving back indoors doesn’t
mean you have to leave your gar-
den behind. Bringing houseplants
back inside, or buying new ones,
will keep you living green all win- Falling temperatures and declining daylight combine to cause cymbidium

Compost piles aren’t as bad as some think
By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pity the beginning gardener who dares to
read about composting. (Please dare to read
on, in this case, even if you are a beginner.)
What novice would not be intimidated by
the too often very complicated instructions,
as well as alleged needs for exotic or hard-
to-find ingredients.
Some British gardening books, for exam-
ple, might have you tossing in your pitchfork
and gloves in despair trying to find — of all
things! — soil for your compost pile. Many
British “authorities” recommend laying
down a 1 to 2 inch blanket after every foot or
so of other ingredients. Where are you going
to find all that soil?
In fact, soil is a nice, but surely not neces-
sary, addition to a compost pile. Rather than
those 1 to 2 inch layers, just add sprinklings
of soil to your compost piles. Or none at all.
“CLEAN” LEAVES, STEMS AND FRUITS
The directives most likely to persuade a
beginner to abandon composting are those
telling us not to compost diseased plants or
plant parts. The same could be said for warn-
ings against composting plants or plant parts
harboring insect pests. You might similarly
be instructed to keep weeds out of your com-
post piles. Is any of this possible or desir-
able?
Unless you regularly douse your proper-
ty with a slew of insecticides and fungi-
cides, you are unlikely to find much plant
material that does not host some insect or
disease pest. That’s if you looked closely
enough. You might find a clean leaf here

ridden plants and weeds out of compost
piles. Using a finished compost that has been
fed such things should not cause any prob-
lems.
What spells death to insect, disease and
weed pests in a compost pile is a combination
of heat and time.
Pile up compostable materials in a big batch,
with attention to the mix of ingredients, air and
moisture, and intense heat soon follows.
Get a long-probed compost thermometer
(you can find them at
Charleysgreenhouse.com, Fedcoseeds.com,
Gardeners.com or Johnnyseeds.com, among
other places) and watch the dial spin as high
as 160 degrees, which is hot enough to kill
virtually all pests in short order.
A casually made pile, built gradually over a
few weeks — especially at this time of year
with weather turning cooler — will generate
little heat. But let any pile of living or once
living material sit long enough and it will
eventually turn dark brown and crumbly.
Along the way, pests will have expired or
been gobbled up by other microorganisms. A
week at 100 degrees could have the same
killing effect on some pest as an hour at 140
degrees.
GARDEN GOLD
You cannot do much better for your garden
than to lavish it with compost. And you need
plenty of raw materials to make plenty of
compost.
Don’t waste any compostable materials —
including weeds and pest ridden plants — by
bagging them up as garbage or burning them.

Ask a Designer: Decorating with personal photos
By Melissa Rayworth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When we decorate our homes, we
express ourselves through the furni-
ture we buy and the colors we
select. But perhaps no element of
decorating says more about us than
the personal photographs we dis-
play.
This holiday season, families
across the country will pose for
photos, and snap candid images of
gift-giving. Some will even sit for
studio portraits. Between holiday
photos, school photos, team photos
and the many shots we capture each
day with cell-phone cameras, we
have a wealth of imagery to choose
from.
But which belong on display?
And how can we use them to make
a room more beautiful and more
personal?
Here, three interior designers
share tips and tricks — and also
vent their pet peeves — for using
personal photos in home decorating.
TELL YOUR STORY
Candid shots, rather than posed
portraits, will help visitors to your
home understand who you are, says
Genevieve Gorder, host and chief
designer for the HGTV show
“Genevieve’s Holiday Home.”
Brian Patrick Flynn, editor of
decordemon.com, agrees: “When I
fall in love with a photograph, it’s
100 percent of the time because
there’s a personal link to it.” His
favorite is “a family photo that
looks like a moment in time was
captured.”
Think like a photo editor, Flynn
says, paring down your library of
Candid shots,rather than posed portraits,will help visitors to your home understand who you are.
images to tell your story. Photos
don’t have to be flawless, but they
have to say something about you.
If you’re having professional pho-
tos taken, consider hiring a photog-
rapher who will capture family
members doing activities they love,
rather than posing at a studio.
And Flynn’s not a fan of every-
one dressing alike: “In real life,
you don’t all wear the same but-
ton-down shirt and jeans. So don’t
SUBURBAN LIVING
do it in a photo.”
PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE
“The main thing about personal
photos is to remember that they’re
personal,” says Los Angeles-based
interior designer Betsy Burnham.
“They’re not art. They don’t take the
place of art.”
Consider which photos are best in
more private spaces of the house,
such as bedrooms or an upstairs
hallway, and which belong in rooms
where you greet guests, she says.
“Team photos are fun in a kids
room, on a bookshelf, to watch how
they grew over time,” Burnham
says. “But those are never the best
photos of any of us, nor the most
interesting. Let friends look at
something that’s going to pique
their curiosity or make them com-
ment.”
Thursday • Nov. 4, 2010 21
TECHNOLOGY IS YOUR FRIEND
“Oftentimes we’re not the best of
photographers,” Gorder says.
“But with all the tools we have,
it’s really easy to make (poor pho-
tos) into something great,” she says.
“Scan them, tweak them, crop them
in a way that’s non-symmetrical.”
You can also crop to emphasize
key elements. In many personal
photos, “only 30 percent shows peo-
ple; the rest is background and sky,”
says Flynn, so faces can’t be seen
unless you’re viewing them up
close.
Technology also allows you to
create new items out of your
favorite photos, including cus-
tomized coffee-table books from
sites like Shutterfly.com. Flynn
sometimes makes photo murals for
clients — a single image blown up
to nearly wall-size “and printed on
the sort of vinyl used to make bill-
boards,” he says.
Look through your collection of
photos “and find that one image —
it could even be a still life of your
grandmother’s purse sitting on a
counter in a childhood home — that
tells a story,” Flynn said.
“Once you find the photo, contact
your local digital printer and get an
estimate on how much it would cost
to have a gigantic vinyl print done,
and get estimates of what it would
cost to install,” he says. “It can com-
pletely kick-start the design of a
house and its mood.”
Another creative option, from
Gorder: Crop a section of a favorite
family photo and have it printed as a
repeating image on rolls of paper (a
digital printing store like Fedex

Office should do it for you, she says). Then use it for wrap-
ping gifts. A cluster of presents wrapped this way form a tem-
porary work of art during the holiday season.
CREATE A GALLERY
A collection of photos can be the perfect way to decorate
hallways and staircases.
“Make a statement by choosing one big wall for an enor-
mous gallery grouping and mixing up, say, 20 different
framed photos from throughout the years, some in really
thick, traditonal baroque gold frames, some ultra modern
stainless steel, others lacquered bamboo,” Flynn says. “Those
varying textures and shapes and finishes will tell a story that
accentuates those beautiful images.”
Keep things close enough together on the wall that it’s
clearly a set, he says: “People sometimes stagger them with
huge gaps in betweens and you don’t know if it’s a collection
or not.”
Collections of framed photos also can look great on a side
table or piano. On a flat surface, be sure to vary heights,
maybe mixing in a vase or other tall objects. If you prefer
only minimal contrast in frames, you can combine ones in
similar colors or textures, says Burnham. Silver frames in dif-
ferent sizes, some simple and others ornate, can work well
together, she says. Or try a mix of wood, horn and tortoise
shell frames.
Frames can also be used to comment on photos: A bold
modern frame offsets the drama of a serious portrait, for
instance. Just don’t make all the frames identical.
All three designers urge choosing photos that celebrate
what matters to you, and displaying them where you’ll enjoy
them most: “It’s what moves you,” Burnham says. “If you
love something, it’s gonna work.”

“This town is gonna need another

Fear the beard,” Newsom said.
When Wilson later took the stage,
however, sporting a Mohawk and what
appeared to be oversized silver high-top
sneakers, he said he wasn’t interested.
“I don’t think I am up for that job. But
I think I know a man who is ... Where’s
the Machine?” he asked, to an explosion
of cheers and laughter.
Wilson was referring to a leather-clad
character who made a cameo in the
background while Wilson was being
interviewed remotely by Fox Sports’
Chris Rose on his “Cheap Seats” show
in August.
Even Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger,
who was greeted by some “boos,” turned
the crowd in his favor by making a ref-
erence to the mysterious character.
CALTRAIN

Santa Cruz resident Larry Hadley was
at the Diridon Station in San Jose yester-
day to catch a train to the city to watch the
parade.
The station was so packed at 7 a.m. that
Caltrain offered free rides as hundreds
stood in line at ticket kiosks, Hadley said.
“Caltrain was super,” Hadley said.
On a typical day, Caltrain has about
40,000 riders.
The transit agency carried an additional
417,745 customers to AT&T Park through
the end of the regular season, an increase
of 5 percent compared to last year.
Average weekday ridership is also
trending upward for three of the last four
months, compared to last year, according
to Caltrain. In September, average week-
day ridership went up 3.8 percent com-
pared to September 2009.

Erin Ruppel went
Kevin Simpson to San Francisco to
see the parade with
her parents yesterday morning. Ruppel
lives in San Jose, her parents in Half
Moon Bay and they met up at the San
Mateo Caltrain Station.
“It was insane,” Ruppel said about the
parade. “It was so exciting. The Giants
have brought people together that proba-
bly wouldn’t ordinarily talk to each
other.”
Ruppel went in part to see her favorite
player, relief pitcher Brian Wilson, who
was seen running through a crowd of
fans as the parade marched down Market
Street.

“I thought I was the only Machine in
the world,” the “Terminator” star said.
Indeed, Giants fans didn’t mind a bit
when the formalities of the ceremony
devolved into R-rated inside jokes and,
eventually, thong-waving by first base-
man Aubrey Huff, who threw the crowd
into a frenzy by pulling his red “Rally
Thong” out of his pants.
Most of the players who spoke kept it
short and sweet, including beloved
pitcher Tim Lincecum, who made a few
remarks then closed with, “All I can say
is thank you, and go San Francisco!”
There were repeated references to
Wilson’s artificially dark beard, includ-
ing by Giants manager Bruce Bochy.
“We do apologize for the torture,”
Bochy said. “If you did get a little gray
hair, I can bring in my closer, I think he
can help you with that.”
General manager Brian Sabean con-
gratulated his team on their tenacity.
“They were like junkyard dogs on a
bone; they wouldn’t let go,” he said. “It
took a village mentality to raise this
team.”
He said the Giants’ culture this year
was based on the attitude that there’s “no
Total revenue is also up for September
by 7.5 percent compared to last year from
$3.7 million to $4 million, according to
Caltrain. The increased ridership in recent
months as the Giants made its playoff
push helped bring up year-to-date num-
bers as well.
For the year to date, total ridership is up
2 percent and revenue up 5.5 percent.
The Peninsula Joint Powers Board,
however, anticipates facing a $30 million
deficit next year as the three transit agen-
cies that support it are set to significantly
decrease contributions because SamTrans,
the Santa Clara County Valley
Transportation Agency and the San
Francisco Municipal Transportation
Agency are struggling with their own
deficits.
In October, Caltrain increased fares and
slashed service to bridge a $2.3 million
deficit. The transit agency’s overall fiscal
year 2010-11 budget, approved in July, is
about $100.9 million.
The Joint Powers Board, in a meeting
today, is also set to enter a memorandum
called for conversations to restart should
federal money become available.
Dan Liner, San Carlos Teachers
Association president, said the teachers
are happy to have many cuts reinstated
but hope the community and board rec-
ognize the financial sacrifices teachers
made before the district’s budget
improved.

this year and one next — in the form of
professional development days. The one
in the current year will be scheduled at
each school site, said Baker. The second
day will be prior to the start of next year.
Baker was particularly happy to rein-
state professional development opportu-
nities.
In addition, teachers will regain their
salary increases for longevity and further
education, which had previously been
frozen. Lastly, the district is setting aside
$80,000 for one-time health and well-
ness contributions for teachers.
While the contract for the board is
only for teachers, Baker said it is
assumed other employees will see a sim-
ilar boost as a result of this move.
The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov.

You are likely to be extremely fortunate in one particular
arrangement in the coming months, in ways that may posi-
tively affect both your self-interests and your business con-
cerns. This will open up new channels of opportunity.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - It’s always smart to be an
attentive listener, because you never know when someone
will say something that will resonate with you in a very valu-
able way. Keep an ear out!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Personal information an
associate shares with you will likely serve in strengthening
your relationship with this individual. This person senses you
won’t betray his/her confidence in you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - One of your more out-
standing assets is your ability to improve upon things that are
already in existence. You might apply your skills toward three
different projects others have going for them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Intensify your efforts both
financially and where your career is concerned. You can focus
your thinking in both of these realms simultaneously and be
extremely successful with each.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - An old, past misfortune could
again rear its head if you don’t discount your intuitive percep-
tions concerning your worldly affairs. You might be able to
positively utilize a painful, negative lesson.
listen to your instincts concerning your worldly affairs, espe-
cially financial hunches.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - If you want to be truly effec-
tive, instead of depending solely on yourself, team up with
another who is gifted with what you lack. Select the right
partner and you’ll have a dynamite team.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - You possess more than your
share of gifts, but you’ll be remarkably equipped for handling
challenging situations that have high reward potential. Don’t
be reluctant to take on a new responsibility.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Some good news is trying to
break through for you, so keep all your lines of communica-
tion open and respond to them all. You wouldn’t want to miss
what could be most important.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - If you get a hunch about something
possessing much greater potential than anybody thought,
don’t ignore it. Check it out and follow through on what could
be quite promising.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - When it comes to making any
kind of major decision, examine things thoroughly and don’t
be afraid to ask for advice or comments from others. What
someone has to say could be constructive.

Huge volcanic blast spurs more Indonesians to flee

By Slamet Riyadi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia — Searing
gas and molten lava poured from Indonesia’s
deadly volcano Wednesday in an explosion
three times as powerful as last week’s devas-
tating blast, chasing people from villages and
emergency shelters along its slopes.
After more than a week of continual erup-
tions, and warnings that pressure inside
Mount Merapi may still be building, the
province warned it was running out of money
to help more than 70,000 people forced from
their homes.
Soldiers loaded women and crying children
into trucks while rocks and debris rained from
the sky. Several abandoned homes were set
ablaze and the carcasses of incinerated cattle
littered the mountain’s scorched slopes.
No new casualties were reported after
Wednesday’s fiery explosion, which dusted
cars, trees and roads in towns up to 80 miles
(130 kilometers) away in gray ash.
“This is an extraordinary eruption,” said
Surono, a state volcanologist who had earlier
said energy building up behind a magma
dome in the crater appeared to be easing.
He said the blast had triple the force of the
first eruption on Oct. 26.
“We have no idea what’s happening,” he
said, as he watched the bobbing needle of a
seismograph machine. “It looks like we may
be entering an even worse stage now.”
Mount Merapi, which means “Fire
Mountain,” has erupted many times in the last
century, often with deadly results.
Thirty-eight people have died since it burst
back to life just over a week ago. In 1994, 60
people were killed, while in 1930, more than
a dozen villages were torched, leaving up to
1,300 dead.
Still, as with other volcanoes in this seismi-
cally charged country, tens of thousands call
its fertile slopes home. Most now are packed
in crowded government camps well away
from the base.
Djarot Nugroho, the head of Central Java’s
disaster management agency, said money to
buy instant noodles, clean water, medicine
and other supplies would run out within five
days unless the Indonesian government
declares a national disaster, bringing in much-
needed federal funds. There have been more
than a dozen strong eruptions at Merapi in the REUTERS
last week — including another one earlier Mount Merapi volcano spews smoke as seen from Sidorejo village in Klaten,near the ancient
Wednesday — and thousands of volcanic city of Yogyakarta,Indonesia.
tremors and ash bursts.

difference? A mere 2,500 votes. Commission candidate Sabrina Brennan after a Chinese ballot with names in English.

VOTERS
Continued from page 1
ed turnout hovering above 60 percent based
on previous gubernatorial elections and, as the
ballots received by 8 p.m. Tuesday are count-
ed, that number may prove to be fairly accu-
rate. Almost 30,000 ballots were dropped off
at polling places and the Elections Office
Tuesday alone, Tom said.
Although none of the county races appear
quite as tight at the attorney general battle
between Kamala Harris and Steve Cooley —
less than a half-percent as of mid-day
Wednesday — there is at least one where
every new vote is key.
In the race for San Mateo County treasurer-
tax collector, Sandie Arnott finished with
63,293 votes, or 51 percent. Dave Mandelkern
ended with 60,793 votes, or 49 percent. The
Both Arnott and Mandelkern are working
on the presumption the standings will hold but
as Arnott replied to Mandelkern’s congratula-
tory e-mail, “It ain’t over till the fat lady
sings!”
The Elections Office will post updated
results online every couple days until they are
complete, according to Tom.
Even at this point, voter turnout is better
than for the June primary in which 38.37 per-
cent of 339,758 registered voters cast ballots.
Once all the ballots are counted, the
Elections Office will have a 1 percent manual
tally before certifying the results and present-
ing them to the Board of Supervisors for
acceptance.
The Nov. 2 election ran fairly smoothly,
according to Tom, although there were some
snafus reported.
One San Carlos voter contacted the
Elections Office and Harbor District
she was unable to only chose one name on the
ballot. The voter said she was not allowed to
submit the electronic ballot.
The issue, according to Tom, is that the vot-
ing system prints the name of the selected
candidate along with the words “no selection”
as a reminder that there is more than one
choice in that race. The poll workers and tem-
porary phone help should have known, Tom
said.
“This is not the first time we’ve dealt with
this and I can see how it can be misinterpret-
ed,” Tom said.
The voter told Brennan she vetoed out her
ballot by machine and cast one using paper
instead.
A Redwood City poll worker said he was
discouraged from offering paper ballots and
only give voters one if they specifically asked.
He also claimed when one precinct ran out of
printed ballots voters were told they could use
The use of ballots in another language is a
typical backup and shouldn’t be a problem
because voters can use the sample ballot in
English to read information about the race
before finding the names and measures in
English on the Chinese ballot.
One problem with electronic voting
machine is estimating how many paper ballots
are needed at each precinct, Tom said.
Coupled with longer than normal lines of
voters and almost 10,000 voters using provi-
sional ballots, polling places were a bit over-
whelmed, he said.
Before the next election, he expects some
evaluation of the variances and how to better
predict the need for paper ballots at polling
spots.
Updated election results will be posted at
4:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 5, Tuesday, Nov. 9 and
Friday, Nov. 12 at www.shapethefuture.org
