Public guardians are better equipped to protect the assets of the elderly dependents and adults in their care under a new law by Assemblyman Rich Gordon that gives them authority over trusts and more time to prepare for a conservatorship hearing. Gordon, D-Menlo Park, said his bill, signed into law last month, will protect senior citi-

zens and dependents from nancial abuse by closing probate loopholes and giving the public guardian more power. In a nutshell, the bill expands the scope of the public guardian to include control of assets held in nancial trusts and extends from 15 to 30 the number of days for tem-

porary possession of property. More time for investigation of cases is important because they can be complex and with staff cutbacks there is a lot more work, Gordon said. The extra time gives public guardians a better opportunity to find the
assets, get them secured and set a hearing date for a conservatorship program, Gordon said. Prior to Gordons bill, the public guardian had no authority to protect assets held in trust accounts, a growing trend by people hoping to avoid the challenges of sorting out wills. This loophole, plus the desire for more time, led Aging and Adult Services of Santa Clara County to ask him for help, Gordon said.

A San Mateo County sheriffs bomb squad responded and searched the campus. Deputies did not nd any suspicious items or any potentially explosive device. The suspect was described as a chubby Hispanic man between 20 and 25 years old, around 5 feet 11 inches tall. He had a shaved head and dark goatee, and was seen wearing a blue shirt, khaki shorts, white socks and dark athletic shoes.

Oakland police chief resigns
Oakland Police Chief Anthony Batts announced Tuesday that he is resigning. C i t y Administrator Deanna Santana said Batts will leave office in early to midNovember. Batts was hired in 2009 Anthony Batts after serving for seven years as police chief in Long Beach. He said in a letter to Oakland residents that he is resigning with great regret but said that during the past two years, I found myself with limited control, but full accountability.
San Mateo-based United American Bank will soon be under the control of ATBancorp Inc., according to state regulators. ATBancorp, based in Iowa, already owns about 10 percent of the local commercial lender as it was one of its original investors and plans to acquire control of the bank, according to the state
Department of Financial Institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. urged United American to improve its books under a 17-page consent order issued in November 2010. The bank was urged to raise capital or be acquired by another institution. United American opened its doors in 2003 and has branches in San Mateo, Sunnyvale, Half Moon Bay and Redwood City.
Earlier this year, bank Chief Executive Officer John Schrup indicated the bank was hampered by problem loans in 2010, primarily related to commercial real estate, construction and land acquisition. Most of the loans originated prior to the financial crisis of 2008, Schrup wrote in a message to bank clients. Regulators insisted United American Bank increase its loss reserves, raise more capital, write-
down loans to the current appraised value and even charge off real estate loans entirely, Schrup wrote in the message. United American was told by the FDIC in June that its condition continues to deteriorate and management has not demonstrated the ability to return the bank to a safe and sound condition. The bank had $285.3 million in assets and 55 employees as of the end of June, according to the FDIC.

A 36-year-old Millbrae man was arrested Sunday after authorities say he threw a 2-year-old child to a mattress on the oor and tussled with a 4-year-old girls mother when she stopped him from also throwing her. Wade Mengel was booked into Maguire Correctional Facility but posted $50,000 bail early Monday morning. He will appear in court Nov. 15 to enter a plea to charges of felony child abuse and felony domestic violence. Millbrae police arrested Mengel after responding to a call at approximately 3:05 p.m. on the 100 block of Broadway. The caller told police
that, at roughly 3 p.m. the previous day, Mengel threw the youngest child from a standing position to a futon mattress on the floor and grabbed at a 4-year-old. The mother reportedly grabbed the girl before Mengel struck her. Police served an emergency protective order keeping Mengel from the woman and children at the same time they took him into custody. Mengel has two previous convictions in San Mateo County, according to court records, including a 2010 case in which he pleaded no contest to driving while intoxicating and endangering a child in the vehicle. He was sentenced to 20 days in jail.

because the case is a little more than the average young person who walks in and steals $60 worth of clothes from Kmart, said District Brian Hogan Attorney Steve Wa g s t a ff e . They didnt just take the item but took it and tried to market it. Hogan is accused of picking up the phone March 25, 2010 after an Apple engineer left it at Gourmet Haus Staudt in Redwood City. Wallower allegedly took the phone from Hogan to negotiate a deal with tech sites. In mid-August, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe announced his office would prosecute Hogan and Wallower but not the Gizmdo editor who paid $5,000 for the topsecret gadget later reviewed on the blog. The office contended a protracted legal battle over the sites First Amendment rights was not worth the time and expense. A f t e r Sage Wallower Gizmodo purchased the phone, it was disassembled and detailed online. Apple CEO Steve Jobs requested Gizmodo return the phone and also contact law enforcement, setting off the investigation. Unlike theft, the misappropriation charge reflects that Hogan picked up lost property and Wallowers possession charge is because he knew at that point the iPhone was stolen, Pitt said. The men have been free from custody on their own recognizance.
Two men charged in connection with the theft and sale of an iPhone 4 prototype left in a Redwood City bar by an Apple engineer must serve 40 hours of community service as part of a plea deal. Brian Hogan, 22, and Sage Wallower, 28, both pleaded no contest to one misdemeanor count of misappropriation of lost property. Wallower was also charged with possessing stolen property but that count was dismissed yesterday. In return for their plea, prosecutors asked for five days in jail but Judge Stephen Hall imposed on each community service, one year of court probation and $250 in restitution to Apple. Hall waived all other standard court fees and fines. Prosecutors sought jail time
NEW YORK Now its personal: Hundreds of anti-Wall Street protesters held a Millionaires March on Tuesday past the homes of some of the wealthiest executives in America, stopping to jeer Tax the rich! and Wheres my bailout? Walking two-by-two on the sidewalk because they had no march permit and didnt want to be charged with blocking traffic, members of the Occupy Wall Street movement and other groups made their way up Manhattans East Side, along streets like Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue where some of the richest 1 percent of the population live in townhouses
and luxury apartments. They paused outside buildings where media mogul Rupert Murdoch, banker Jamie Dimon and oil tycoon David Koch have homes, and decried the impending expiration of New Yorks 2 percent millionaires tax in December. I have nothing against these people personally. I just think they should pay their fair share of taxes, said Michael Pollack, an office worker in a law rm. He held up a sign with a saying attributed to department store founder Edward Filene, Why shouldnt the American people take half my money from me? I took all of it from them. Pollack said: Its time for a new New Deal.
A man charged, along with a teenage accomplice, with stabbing a man near downtown San Mateo last year because he wore a rival gangs color will be sentenced to two years in prison. Rogelio Adonay Gastelum, 20, pleaded no contest to assault with a deadly weapon and admitted acting to benefit a street gang rather than stand trial for attempted murder and malice. He will be formally sentenced Nov. 15 but the plea
deal calls for a flat two-year term, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. With credit for time served, Gastelum will have little if any left to serve. Wagstaffe called the settlement a good resolution. Meanwhile, the teen accused of actually performing the stabbing, Jonathan Medina, 16, is scheduled to begin trial April 23. He is being tried separately because his case was put on hold while doctors determined his fitness for trial.
According to prosecutors, on July 15, 2010, Gastelum, then 19, and Medina, then 14, mistakenly believed one of four men leaving the Project 90 treatment program were Sureos because he wore a blue shirt. One of the defendants allegedly yelled and flashed Norteo signs before they assaulted the 21-year-old man and another. The victim was stabbed seven times in the torso and required emergency surgery to survive. Both Gastelum and Medina remain in custody without bail.

The idea that they would attempt to go to a Mexican drug cartel to solicit murder-for-hire to kill the Saudi ambassador,nobody could make that up,right?
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
while Al-Jubeir dined at his favorite restaurant. The idea that they would attempt to go to a Mexican drug cartel to solicit murder-for-hire to kill the Saudi ambassador, nobody could make that up, right? Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in an interview with the Associated Press. Clinton was blunt in saying the United States would use the case as leverage with other countries that have been reluctant to apply harsh
sanctions or penalties against Iran. Clinton said she and President Barack Obama called world leaders to tell them of the developments. This really, in the minds of many diplomats and government ofcials, crosses a line that Iran needs to be held to account for, Clinton said. She said she and Obama want to enlist more countries in working together against what is becoming a clearer and clearer threat from Iran. The U.S. criminal complaint said the Iranian plotters hired a would-be
assassin in Mexico who was a paid informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and told U.S. authorities all about their plot, which they code-named Chevrolet. FBI Director Robert Mueller said many lives could have been lost. But Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said no explosives were actually placed and no one was in any danger because of the informants cooperation with authorities.
Anger grows toward Egypt Senate bill threatens China military in Christian deaths with higher product tariffs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO Videos of military armored vehicles plowing through Christian protesters and images of their attened bodies are fueling rage against the ruling army generals, even beyond Egypts Christian community. Activists accused the military of fomenting sectarian hatred as a way to end protests and halt criticism. Anger was also turning on state
television, blamed for inciting attacks on Coptic Christians as the military crushed a Christian protest late Sunday, leaving 26 dead in the worst violence since the February fall of Hosni Mubarak. The bloodshed was seen by many activists as a turning point in Egypts already chaotic transition: the deadliest use of force against protesters by the military, which has touted itself as the protector of the revolution.

WASHINGTON The Senate voted Tuesday to threaten China with higher tariffs on Chinese products made cheap through an articially undervalued currency, which lawmakers blame for destroying American jobs. The House, though, is unlikely to take up the bill, which some American businesses warn
could trigger a trade war. The 63-35 vote showed a broad bipartisan consensus that it is time to end diplomatic niceties with China and confront it over its aggressive trade policies. There are always people who dont want to stand up to China and I think they are, frankly, undercutting our ability to stop the hemorrhaging in our manufacturing jobs, said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio.

OPINION
Editorial
with so many nancial and development decisions on the horizon. Of the challengers, Steve Okamoto is a sure bet. He is up to speed on the citys issues and has a steady and thoughtful approach to making decisions. He understands the importance of maintaining the healthy reserve, but also believes there is room for certain programs particularly when it comes to protecting the citys children and seniors. He is also keenly aware of the importance of including the perspective of each segment of the community when making decisions and believes strongly in the power of collaboration. There has been some tension between the city and the school district over issues as varied as crossing guards and establishing a location for a new school and Okamoto, through his calm and contemplative approach to matters both big and small, will provide a fresh start. Herb Perez is energetic and opinionated. He seems to have learned to harness that energy from when he rst ran for a seat on the council in 2009. He offers many unique perspectives garnered from his time running a taekwondo studio, working with the U.S. Olympic Committee and serving on the citys Park and Recreation Committee. His energy is refreshing and his out-ofthe-box thinking and vigor when it comes to nding workable solutions will open new avenues for community collaboration. His relative youth is also an asset and he can build on the connections he has with Foster Citys working families and their children while bringing that important perspective to City Hall.
Warm hearts
o understand and to be understood makes our happiness on earth. German proverb. Sometimes I get emails from people who tell me that they enjoy my column. Other times, I see people around town who compliment it. It could be the lady at the bank, the hairdresser, people at the senior center. Whenever this occurs, my day has been made. I often wonder if those who do that realize how much a few thoughtful and appreciative words can improve another persons outlook and boost their self-esteem. No doubt they do know and thats why they do it. But how many of us regularly take the time and make the effort to make someone elses day by saying something sincerely appreciative and/or complimentary? It may be a note from a friend who tells you that she had a nice time when having dinner at your house or a parent saying to a child, Im so glad youre mine, or your spouse who tells you how they appreciate your cooking. How a child beams when you are presented with a drawing that you cannot identify when you say, I can see you really like to draw! How much more a birthday card means when the sender pens a note telling you how much your friendship has meant to her. These are examples of giving that produce great benets all big little things that can make life richer and much more pleasant. In his book, The Art of Loving, Erich Fromm wrote about those who are the giving type. He enriches the other person. He enhances the others sense of aliveness by enhancing his own aliveness. He does not give in order to receive; giving itself is exquisite joy. But in giving he cannot help bringing something to life in the other person, and this which is brought to life reects back to him. During the week that I was writing this column, a letter to the editor appeared in the Daily Journal from a woman with a warm heart. She wrote about how she appreciates this newspaper a bright light among the diatribes. A few days later we were presented with a rant attacking Keith Kreitman and President Obama that is an example of what a person with a warm heart (or any heart at all) would never write. If a person with a warm heart disagrees with someone, he does not attack and denigrate them. He can discuss his differences without demeaning the other person. He can write a letter to the editor that respectfully disagrees, reasonably pointing out his difference of opinion instead of cutting down another person with snide and sarcastic statements. People who carry around hatred and vindictiveness (and there are plenty of those around) are operating from repressed anger very likely resentfulness and bitterness carried over from some difcult life circumstances past or present. They would never consider what Carl Rogers wrote in Some Signicant Learnings: It is necessary to permit oneself to understand another. Our rst reaction to most of the statements we hear from other people is an immediate evaluation or judgment rather than understanding of it. Think of how the world would improve if wed all try to say nice things and express our appreciation more often to those with whom we interact. And when disagreeing, wed stop for a few seconds and think about our response as we recall what Dorothy Nevill wrote: The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. Sincere, kind words indicate that those who say them are secure enough in themselves to be able to reach out to others and give of themselves. If we have not been used to doing this, at rst we may have to remind ourselves just to notice things that can be commented positively upon. Then we may have to consciously think of how to say something nice without sounding insincere or condescending. But perfecting this trait can be very rewarding. Which reminds me. I havent yet told Michelle Durand how much we enjoyed her column about losing her car in the parking lot. We had a good laugh (and empathized) because it was just a few weeks before that Ted did the same thing with a little different outcome. He had parked in a different lot! And I must include how I appreciate Editor in Chief Jon Mays who lets me proffer my particular (and some say peculiar) viewpoints in this newspaper. In spite of it all, I think we can all identify sometimes with Ashleigh Brilliant when he quips: I always think of the right thing to say after the right time to say it has passed.

points, its largest increase since Aug. 11. During Slovakias 10-hour debate, European Central Bank head JeanClaude Trichet warned that countries needed to act urgently to stem what he called a systemic crisis that threatened global nancial stability. I think markets want to say who cares about Slovakia, but the reality is every little country has to agree, said Randy Warren, investment strategist at Exton, Pa.-based rm Warren Financial Service. Greece has been on the brink of defaulting on its debt for months. If that happens, it would hurt European and U.S. banks by decimating the value of Greek government bonds they own. Those banks would then be less likely to lend to each other and to businesses. That could plug up an already weak global economy, with implications for everything from bank stocks to international trade. The Dow lost 16.88 points, or 0.1 percent, to close at 11,416.3.

NEW YORK One of Wall Streets quietest days in months ended mixed after investors spent the day waiting to see if Slovakia would block an expansion of Europes nancial rescue program. Slovakias decision came after U.S. stock markets closed. That countrys parliament rejected a bill to strengthen the powers of a regional rescue fund. The 16 other countries that use the euro have already signed off on the bill, but the measure requires unanimous support. There are ways around Slovakias opposition, but the move temporarily sets back efforts to address Europes debt jam, which has been the most important issue for nancial markets for months. Investors worry that if Europe doesnt contain its debt crisis, a default by the Greek government could deliver a devastating blow to European banks and cause them to freeze up lending.

PITTSBURGH The country is awash in pink for breast cancer awareness month and some women are sick of it. While no one is questioning the need to ght the deadly disease, some breast cancer advocates are starting to ask whether one of the most successful charity campaigns in recent history has lost its focus. The pink drives me nuts, said Cynthia Ryan, an 18-year survivor of breast cancer who also volunteers to help other women with the disease. Its the cheeriness I cant stand. Activists have even coined a new word: pinkwashing. They say thats when a company or
organization does a pink breast cancer promotion, but at the same time sells and prots from pink-theme products. Some of the pink products have generated plenty of discussion among breast cancer advocates. A Smith & Wesson 9mm handgun with pink pistol grip? The manufacturer says a Portion of the Proceeds Will Be Donated to a Breast Cancer Awareness Charity. You can get the Pink Ribbon Combo at Jersey Mikes Subs, or the Sephora Collection Pink Eyelash Curler. One year, there was a pink bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. The San Francisco group Breast Cancer Action has led the campaign to question pink products, but executive director Karuna Jaggar said it isnt saying all such products are bad.
She said theres no doubt that when the pink ribbon campaigns started about 20 years ago there was still a great need to raise awareness. At one time, pink was the means, Jaggar said. Now, its almost become the end in itself. In its most simplistic forms, pink has become a distraction. You put a pink ribbon on it, people stop asking questions. Breast cancer activists agree that the use of a ribbon to promote awareness evolved in stages. They note that in 1979 there were yellow ribbons for the American hostages in Iran; in 1990, AIDS activists used red ribbons to call attention to victims of that disease; and 1991 saw the rst major use of the pink ribbon, when the Susan G. Komen Foundation gave them out at a New York City race for cancer survivors.
WASHINGTON Banks would be barred from trading for their own prot instead of their clients under a rule federal regulators proposed Tuesday. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. backed the draft rule on a 3-0 vote. The ban on so-called proprietary trading was required under the nancial overhaul law. Critics on the left dismissed the effort as weak and marred by loopholes. And banks argued that it would hurt the economy. The FDICs vote now puts the rule
out for public comment. The Federal Reserve has also approved a draft of the proposal, called the Volcker Rule after former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker. For years, banks had bet on risky investments with their own money. But when those bets go bad and banks fail, taxpayers could be forced to bail them out. Thats what happened during the 2008 nancial crisis. A ban on proprietary trading could help President Barack Obama in next years election by showing he has pushed for tougher policies to curb risky trading on Wall Street.
A harder line with bankers might also help Obama win over protesters on Wall Street. Many say Obama was too lenient on the banks because he continued the bailouts that had begun under President George W. Bush. Congress and Obama had hoped the Volcker Rule would blunt such criticism. But they left most of the details for regulators to sort out. Its unclear how strictly the ban will be enforced. At least one of the protesters on Wall Street was willing to give the rule a chance. Robert Eatman, who was protesting in New York on Tuesday, called the rule a decent effort.
SAN FRANCISCO To some people, Apples new iPhone 4S isnt the complete overhaul they have been hoping for. Its model number, which doesnt include a 5, reeks of the status quo. Thats ridiculous. Sure, the 4S doesnt render the iPhone 4 hopelessly obsolete, and on the surface theyre nearly identical. But with a faster
processor, new software, a voice-activated personal assistant and a souped-up camera, its a major improvement over the current iPhone. The 4S will be available Friday in black or white. It will cost $199 to $399, depending on storage space. It requires a two-year service contract with Verizon Wireless, Sprint or AT&T. If you have an older model such as the 3GS or are thinking of making the move to the iPhone, its an excellent
excuse to buy one. The coolest new feature on the 4S is Siri, a software-based personal assistant who responds to your voice in a somewhat robotic, yet soothing female tone. Siri can do all sorts of things, from setting your alarm clock to nding a good local sushi joint to playing DJ with your music. She cant bring up specic websites, but she can search the Web for pretty much anything.

SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco Giants fan who was severely beaten outside Dodgers Stadium was transferred to a rehabilitation facility Tuesday after nearly seven months in hospitals, doctors said. Bryan Stows move into rehab is a step forward in his recovery after he suffered serious brain injuries in the March attack that had left him barely clinging to life. Doctors at San
Francisco General Hospital, where he had been treated since May, predicted a long and rocky road ahead for the 42-yearold Santa Cruz paramedic. Bryan has been an extremely challenging patient, said Dr. Geoff Manley, who is the hospiBryan Stow tals chief of neurosurgery and has been overseeing Stows care. It has been a roller coaster, but he is young and
strong and has made tremendous advances. Stows family recently reported on its website that he is speaking and moving his limbs again. Manley said Tuesday that Stow is starting to get up but not quite walking. The family requested that the name of Stows rehab facility not be released, according to Manley. The family released a statement saying, We feel immense relief today, knowing that Bryan is ready to start the next chapter of his story.
Louie Sanchez, 29, and Marvin Norwood, 30, have been charged in the attack, which police describe as the culmination of a string of confrontations they had with randomly selected Giants fans at the stadium during the Los Angeles Dodgers March 31 home opener. Sanchez and Norwood both have pleaded not guilty to mayhem, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury, and battery with serious bodily injury in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
To gure out how the Burlingame girls tennis team has managed to reel off such an eye-popping league winning streak (more than 22-plus games now), one must slice through its center, and take a look at the middle. Coach Bill Smith and the Panthers have never lacked for talent, but behind those players that grab the headlines, youll find one, the youngest of the bunch, who might be the key to their recent success. Burlingame No. 3 singles player Alex Harrigan is enjoying quite the breakout season for the Panthers. In 2010, the freshman had her ups and downs, going 10-4 in Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division play. This year, her success at the center of the singles matches has the Panthers undefeated in league play. Last year, Alex was a little rocky, Smith said. This year, shes rock solid. Harrigan has solidied herself in the No. 3 role after improving her game over the summer. But her growth cerebrally is what has propelled her and the Panthers to the top of the Bay Division once again. Nowhere was that growth more evident than during Harrigans two victories last week over MenloAtherton and Aragon both wins came in come-from-behind fashion. They were big matches for us, Smith said. Were obviously strong enough to where were trying to sweep the singles every time, and last year, M-A was her nemesis. So for her to come back and win those matches this year, it was big for her. For her efforts, Harrigan is the Daily Journal Athlete of the Week. After jumping ahead in both

While Burlingame is well on its way to a second straight Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division championship, there is still plenty for the rest of the league to play for: namely, seedings for the PAL team tournament at the end of the season. Both Aragon and Carlmont are still in the mix for the tournaments top seed and they played like it when the teams met Tuesday in San Mateo. With the match tied at 3, the deciding match came down to the No. 4 singles spot where Aragons Melissa Ma and Carlmonts Christine Tataru split the rst two sets to set up a winner-take-all third set. With Ma up 5-4 and 40-15, Ma lobbed Tataru, who was crashing the net. Tataru spun around and rushed toward the baseline, but could not get enough steam on the return. Her shot nestled into the net to give Ma a 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 win and a 4-3 Aragon victory. With the win, Aragon pulled into a tie for third place in the Bay Division with Carlmont. Both are a game behind second-place MenloAtherton. The Bay Division champion gets an automatic berth into the Central Coast Section tournament, while the second through fourthplace nishers, along with the Ocean Division champion, play for the leagues second automatic berth in the PAL tournament. Before the nal set, Aragon assistant coach Dave Owdom had a talk with Ma. We just had a talk about focus, Ma said. Apparently, Owdom failed to mention that the match was riding on Ma. But given the situation, Ma had to know hers was the deciding point, right? No, I didnt know, Ma admitted. It could have mattered. But more pressure would have made me play better. Both players were feeling the pressure as neither could hold serve through the rst six

CSM Notebook
I dont want to say American River ducked, but , Wright said. I was told DVC (Diablo Valley College) and American River would be there. Now, its Delta and Fresno. For us, its great. Its about beating the No. 3 or No. 4 team from the Big 8. CSM is led offensively by Gianna Davino, who has scored 27 goals and added 22 assists. Defensively, the Bulldogs feature one of the top goalies in the state. Daria Kekuewa is ranked second in Northern California and No. 4 in the state with 133 saves. 3-1 will get the job done this weekend, Wright said. While Wright and the Bulldogs look forward to this weekend, they still have some business to take care of today when they host De Anza at 3:30 p.m. The Bulldogs drilled the Dons 12-1 over the weekend and Wright expects more of the same Wednesday. Theyre not too strong this year, Wright said. De Anza is a speed bump.
The College of San Mateo womens water polo teams season is still about three weeks away from the Coast Conference tournament and a month shy of the Northern California tournament, but CSM coach Randy Wright believes the most important games are this weekend. The Bulldogs will participate in the Sierra tournament and face the teams they will be battling against for Nor Cal playoff berths. A win over two specic teams would solidify the Bulldogs bid for a Nor Cal playoff spot. We talk about this a lot, Wright said. To be the rst (CSM) team to qualify for Nor Cal, you have to be a special team. The Sierra tournament, based in the Sierra foothill town of Rocklin, is an eight-team tournament featuring four teams from CSMs Coast Conference against four teams from Northern Californias other conference the Big 8. The Coast Conference will be represented by CSM, Cabrillo, Foothill and Merced; while Fresno, San Joaquin Delta, Santa Rosa and Sierra make up the Big 8 contingent. This tournament was (originally) based on the Big 8 getting a chance to ex their muscles, Wright said, adding that is no longer the case. The Coast Conference has more than closed the gap with the Big 8 over the last couple of seasons. The stronger our conference looks, the more chance we have of getting wild card spots, Wright said. Wright has circled the games against Fresno and Sierra as must-win matchups. Sierra is ranked third in the Big 8 and Fresno fourth. American River, the Big 8s second-ranked team, was supposed to participate, but decided to drop out.
Football
While the CSM football team nished its non-conference schedule on a high note a 61-0 blasting of Los Medanos Saturday there is still one major question yet to be answered: who will start at quarterback in the NorCal Conference opener when the Bulldogs host Santa Rosa at 1 p.m. Saturday? All three quarterbacks Johnathan Willis, Blake Plattsmier and Miles Freeman scored Saturday and their grades after the game left them neck-and-neck. John came in and sparked (us) and did some things, said Tim Tulloch, CSM defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. Were looking for different guys making plays. Whoevers in there is expected to lead.
A decision on who will start will not be made until after practice Thursday. No matter who gets the call, however, there will be no hard feelings. The CSM coaching staff has created an environment of competition. Just because youre a starter one week doesnt mean youll be the starter the following week. Players compete every day in practice to remain starters on Saturday. Just ask linebacker D.J. McDonough. He had a sack, an interception and a forced fumble against Chabot two weeks ago. I come in on Monday, and someone comes in and challenges me for the spot, McDonough said. D.J. had to battle for his spot against Los Medanos, Tulloch said. Because of that, everyone on the team understands nothing is guaranteed. If Im a defensive coordinator and Im game-planning for CSM, Im preparing for all three (quarterbacks), Tulloch said. Well go with whoever is playing best and who gives us the best chance to win. Its about production. The big question for Saturdays game against Santa Rosa may not be who is starting at quarterback for CSM, but, how do the Bulldogs stop the Bear Cubs prolic passing attack? Through ve games, Santa Rosa (3-2) is averaging 317 yards passing per game. Pressure (the quarterback), was defensive end Barrett Wangaras response. Make them make a mistake. Tulloch said CSMs defense is based on putting pressure on the opposing quarterback. If the defense does its job, the Santa Rosa quarterbacks wont have a clean look at their receivers all game long. You need to rattle the quarterback, Tulloch said. Our defense is kind of built to apply pressure. Thats one of the core principles.
Burlingame volleyball coach Steve Erle said it best, when the Panthers and San Mateo hook up for a match, you never know whats going to happen. And what transpired Tuesday night t the bill. In what might turn out to be one of the most exciting volleyball matches this season in the Peninsula Athletic League, the Panthers held off an emotional comeback by the Bearcats, winning 25-19, 22-25, 25-9, 23-25, 15-9. We came in with the same league record, Erle said. So we knew it was going to be close. But I think my girls played as well as Ive seen them play. Were kind of young an inconsistent, said San Mateo coach Chris Tigno. We reach very high levels of play, but then we make (mistakes). And thats just a function of them being younger in some of the key positions. Were still trying to get to that level of high play, and in this game, we just made too many mistakes. Mistakes and a defeat aside, what the Bearcats did not lack for on Tuesday was resiliency. Playing in a very loud gym, with the Panthers fans out in full force, San Mateo battled back after a disastrous third set that saw them make 12 hitting errors and lose by 16 points. The loss in Game 3 came after two very evenly matched sets that went one apiece. In Game 1, San Mateo shot themselves in the foot with 15 hitting errors.

only three times all season heading into Saturdays matchup at Washington State (3-2, 1-1), setting the pace with LSU, Wisconsin and Texas Tech. Two of those came on passes by Andrew Luck that were intercepted, with both coming on balls tipped by receiver Chris Owusu that likely should have been caught or at the very least, not popped up. While the offense has been among the best at ball control, the lack of an interception has weighed heavily on the defense in recent weeks. Stanfords defense has dominated for long stretches in every game and is perhaps the biggest reason outside of that Heisman Trophy candidate that the team has outscored opponents 231-53 this season. The interception streak lasted so long it became a running punchline on the sidelines every time somebody whiffed on an interception. Weve been making jokes about it the whole time, Thomas said. So Im glad it happened. Turnovers could play a big role in the seasons second half. After a trip to Pullman this weekend, bigger matchups loom ahead. Stanford will face Washington, Southern California, Notre Dame and Oregon with a potential spot in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship game at stake among others and might not only need wins but style

STANFORD Stanford coach David Shaw has had to increasingly answer more questions about how and why the Pac-12s top-ranked defense cant seem to force an interception. Not this week. On the 172nd passing attempt of the season, safety Michael Thomas nally broke the cold streak when he picked off Tyler Hansens pass in the fourth quarter of the Cardinals 48-7 rout of Colorado on Saturday. For a defense that is allowing a league-low 10.6 points per game, erasing that perplexing omission has been the
No. 1 goal. Its huge. When it doesnt happen, then you get 100 questions why it hasnt happened yet, Shaw said Tuesday. As much as we try to get our guys to be shielded by it, when your family and friends and everybody is saying it, You guys dont have an interception, you dont have an interception, you dont have an interception. Now you get it. Great. Now lets try to get it some company. Turnovers have been hard to come by on both sides of the ball. While the interception was the defenses rst in ve games, No. 7 Stanfords offense (5-0, 3-0 Pac-12) is tied for the fewest turnovers in the nation. The Cardinal have lost the ball
points to remain in the national title hunt. Shaw has emphasized forcing turnovers, and not just ones that come in the air. The Cardinal have recovered six fumbles this season, alleviating some of the secondarys shortcomings, but hed still like to see improvement from the secondary. What I love about it, even with all that chatter about interceptions, our guys havent been running out of position to try to make it happen, Shaw said. Weve got our hands on balls. Its not like guys are running wide open. Weve had a couple chances. Its just the way that it is. Theres nothing schematically we have to change.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Tim Tebow didnt win the Denver Broncos starting quarterback job as much as Kyle Orton lost it. Regardless, Tebow has ditched his cap and clipboard and is now the starring attraction in Denver. Coach John Fox made the switch ofcial Tuesday, announcing Tebow will start against the Miami Dolphins when the Broncos return from their bye week.
He supplants Orton, who has struggled ever since winning the job with a spectacular training camp. Well, I think 1-4 has a lot to do with it, Fox Tim Tebow said. We havent gotten it done as a football team. Its not one guy. Its not all Kyle Ortons fault. But we do have to make adjustments, we have to
change and we have to do something to win football games. Orton didnt carry over his sensational summer into the regular season, turning the ball over nine times and losing the organizations condence and a string of winnable games as the Broncos stumbled to another bad start. Fox had seen enough by halftime Sunday when he benched Orton and sent in Tebow. After a slow start, the former Florida star sparked a listless offense to within a last-gasp pass of coming back against San Diego.
As the Broncos trudged off the eld, the stadium shook with a thunderous roar of Tebow! Tebow! Tebow! Fox appreciates their passion but said the fans, who have been calling for Tebow ever louder by the week, had nothing to do with this move. Its not so much fan outcry as were in a result-oriented business, and were 1-4, Fox said. Its not one guy. Well see if this helps. Tebow had his troubles rust, three fumbled snaps and six misres in 10 pass attempts but he ran for
a touchdown and threw for another while energizing the Broncos and fans frustrated by a franchise mired in mediocrity since its last winning season in 2005. After thinking things over for a day and watching the game lm, Fox decided to go all-in with Tebow. Its time to see what he has in the popular and polarizing 24-year-old lefty, one of the most accomplished players in the history of college football but one whose skill set doesnt t the mold of a prototypical pro passer.

my mistakes get to my head, Harrigan said of her 6-3, 6-3 win over Samantha Andrew of MA. I had to accept that I was going to make mistakes and I just had to move from there. Once I started getting the balls in, and just focusing on getting every ball back, thats when she started to make the errors and I started to win the points. That was kind of the turning point. Andrew jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second set, before Harrigan shook off the cobwebs and reeled off six-straight points to win the match. Later on, she would say that maybe she doesnt bounce back from a lull like that a year ago. Smith agrees. She would get down on herself and generally would try to hit her way out of things. And now, shes a little more patient, but also patient enough to where, if she makes a mistake she doesnt necessarily doesnt go into a boom ball or go into it cautiously, Smith said. She knows to play her game. Thats what she couldnt do last year shed get lost between trying to play a little safer and training to maintain that edge of being a bigger hitter than the other girl. A couple of days later, in a rematch of the league opener against Victoria Sun, Harrigan found herself in quite the battle one for which she was prepared. I went into that match ready to ght for more points than Ive been used to the rest of the season, Harrigan said. After the rst set, I let my guard down mentally a little bit and I allowed her to get up in the second set. And I really had to pull myself together mentally and nish out. It was all about staying consistent. It was denitely one of the more challenging matches of the year.

It had been her style to get out ahead of people and be more of a quarter-horse, you know, sprint to a lead and have trouble being aggressive, Smith said. She got out of the gate well, but as a freshman she wasnt able to nish some of those tough matches. This year, shes put some of that experience to work and has been real comfortable coming back. It was about staying consistent, not letting

run that helped the Panthers open a comfortable gap. They would ride the hot hand of Madison McKeever the rest of the way (5 assists, 2 kills) for the 25-19 win. Game 2 was a much different story. This time, after Burlingame jumped out to an 11-5 advantage, the Bearcats fought back to tie it. From that point on, there were 10 ties, the last coming at 22 all. Karyn Jacobs kill made it 23-22 and a pair of hitting errors gave the Bearcats the game. The wheels seem to come off for San Mateo in the third game. The Panthers were like a runaway train, and Vanessa Neumann was the conductor. With the score at 1-1, No. 5 caught re

and with her serving, Burlingame reeled off 14straight points. San Mateo did their best to stop the bleeding, but it way too late for a comeback in Game 3. Burlingame won handily 25-9.

Shes an emotional leader, she trains hard, shes one of the best jumpers Ive ever had and when shes serving, all kinds of good things can happen. To San Mateos credit, they didnt let the men-

games. With the set tied at 3, Ma nally held for a 4-3 advantage. Tataru nally held her serve to tie the set at 4, but Ma held and then broke Tataru to win the whole shebang. I think there were definitely nerves, Ma said. I knew serve was crucial to the last set, so I told myself to focus on my serve. It was a nerve-rattling end to a tight match, which should not have come as a surprise to either team. In the rst meeting between the teams this season, Carlmont came away with a 5-2 win, but there were four matches that went to three sets. Tuesday, only two matches went three sets, with each team winning one. Carlmonts Cori Sidells match at No. 1 singles against Kaede Ishikawa also went three sets. Sidell dropped the rst set 6-1, but rallied to win the second set 6-4 before blowing Ishikawa away in the third, 6-0. Sidells victory tied the team match at three, a match in which Aragon won four of the rst ve matches to come off the courts to take a 3-1 lead. But that fourth point is the toughest one to corral. We had a 3-1 lead on M-A and we couldnt finish them, said Aragon head coach Ed Schuler. I thought we had it (up 3-1 Tuesday), but I didnt like that it was that close. Carlmont (7-3 Bay Division) picked up the rst point of the day

seventh as the towel-waving crowd at Comerica Park roared its approval. After leaving 22 runners on base in the rst two games, the Tigers struggled again early on against Lewis. Detroit had two on with one out in the second, but Alex Avila and Ryan Raburn both struck out. Lewis struck out ve in the rst three innings, but Martinez led off the fourth with a homer to right to tie it at 1. Martinez, who hit .330 this season despite groin, knee and back problems, appeared to hurt himself on his home run swing, laboring slowly around the bases after the ball cleared the fence. When he returned to the dugout, his head still down, he slammed his helmet down as he descended the steps toward the clubhouse. Detroit was already playing without injured outfielders Delmon Young, Magglio Ordonez and Brennan Boesch, and it wasnt clear whether Martinez the designated hitter would be able to continue. But he was back in the fth, standing near the on-deck circle with Cabrera at the plate. With runners at rst and third and two outs, Texas decided to pitch to Cabrera, and his line drive down the right-eld line stayed fair for a double to drive in a run. Martinez drew a walk, loading the bases for Don Kelly, who hit a check-swing grounder to third.
Melissa Ma, Aragons No. 4 singles player, lines up a shot during her 6-4, 4-6,6-4 win over Carlmonts Christine Tataru to give the Donsa 4-3 win.
when Veronika Dvorak won her No. 2 singles match easily, 6-0, 6-1. Aragon (7-3) tied the team score when Victoria Sun cruised to a straight-set win at No. 3 singles, 6-1, 6-2. Points 2 and 3 for the Dons came at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles, respectively. Amy Jiang and Christina Hsu lost only four games in a 6-3, 6-1 win at No. 1 doubles. Alyssa Lim and Stacy Ozorio needed a little more time at No. 2 doubles, but also won handily, 6-3, 6-3. The Scots, needing to win the three remaining matches to get the win, started their comeback by getting a straight-sets win at No. 3 doubles where Erin Shields and Pareesa Darafshi won 7-5, 6-4. They then tied the match at 3 with Sidells win at No. 1 singles. We knew it would be a tough match, Schuler said. This time, we pulled it out thanks to our sophomore, Melissa Ma. This is probably the most [talented] team in my 10 years (as Aragon coach).
Adrian Beltre elded the ball, then paused and waited to tag Cabrera. When the Detroit baserunner froze in his tracks, Beltre finally backpedaled toward the bag for the force to end the inning. Detroit added two runs in the sixth. Peralta led off with a homer, and Jacksons RBI single made it 41. It was an encouraging night for Jackson, who entered 3 for 25 in the postseason with 14 strikeouts. Cabreras homer in the seventh, which stayed fair down the left-eld line, was his second of the playoffs. Detroit provided more than enough offense for Fister, who was terric down the stretch after the Tigers acquired him in a trade with Seattle shortly before the July 31 deadline. He retired his nal batter Tuesday on an unusual unassisted putout, fielding Endy Chavezs grounder and then hustling over to rst because Cabrera was well off the bag, trying to position himself for a potential play on the ball. Fister was lifted after that, and he tipped his cap to an appreciative crowd as he left the eld. Fisters rst nine pitches were strikes, but the Rangers poked three of them into the outeld for singles and took a 1-0 lead. Ian Kinsler led off with a single to left, then Elvis Andrus chopped an 0-2 pitch into right for a base hit. Josh Hamilton fell behind 0-2 as well before hitting a soft line drive just past the outstretched arm of Peralta, the shortstop, for an RBI single. Fister escaped without further damage thanks to a double-play grounder by Michael Young and a strikeout by Beltre.

NEW YORK Dudes dont drink diet. Or at least thats the idea behind Dr Pepper Ten, a 10-calorie soft drink Dr Pepper Snapple Group is rolling out on Monday with a macho ad campaign that proclaims Its not for women. The soft drink was developed after the companys research found that men shy away from diet drinks that arent perceived as manly enough. To appeal to men, Dr Pepper made its Ten drink 180 degrees different than Diet Dr Pepper. It has calories and sugar unlike its diet counterpart. Instead of the dainty tan bubbles on the diet can, Ten will be wrapped in gunmetal grey packaging with silver bullets. And while Diet Dr Peppers marketing is womenfriendly, the ad campaign for Ten goes out of its way to eschew women. For instance, theres a Dr Pepper Ten Facebook page for men only. And TV commercials are heavy on the machismo, including one spot that shows muscular men in the jungle battling snakes and bad guys and appear to shoot lasers at each other. Hey ladies. Enjoying the lm? Of course not. Because this is our movie and this is our soda, a man says as he attempts to pour the soda into a glass during a bumpy ATV ride. You can keep the romantic comedies and lady drinks. Were good. Dr Pepper Ten is not the rst diet soda aimed at men. (Think: Coke Zero and Pepsi Max.) But Dr Pepper Tens ad campaign is the rst to be so overt about courting men who want to drink a soda with fewer calories. The ads come at a time when overall sales in the $74 billon soft drink industry are slowing as more Americans buy healthier options like juice and bottled water. Volume has fallen from slightly over 10 billion cases in 2005 to 9.4 billion cases in 2010, according to Beverage Digest data.

Warden questioned why Lieberman would bring up the issue so close to next months election considering the city has yet to pay a single penny on the benet since it was approved 14 years ago.

Dr Pepper said men, in particular, are dissatised with the taste and image of diet drinks.

There are plenty of fancy variations of apple pie, but sometimes you just need an all-American classic. And so we created this simple, and simply delicious recipe. The method is basic, but the results are anything but. The key is to slightly cook the apples before spooning them into the unbaked crust. This prevents them from deating during cooking, which inevitably leaves you with a domed (and disappointingly empty) shell of a top crust.
A lattice top is easier than it looks. But if youre not up for that, simply roll out the top crust and set it whole over the pie.It still will be beautiful and just as delicious.
the mixture forms a dough. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Reserve the eggs, oats and milk for later. Meanwhile, make the lling. In a large deep skillet, combine the apples with the sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring and turning gently until the apples are just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir together the water and cornstarch, then add to the apples. Continue to cook until the juices thicken, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool. Heat the oven to 350 F. Place a pizza stone in the oven, if available. Divide the dough into 2 pieces, one slightly larger than the other. On a oured surface, roll the larger piece out to a 12-inch circle. Fold the dough in half to make it easier to move, then transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate, unfolding it and allowing it to settle into the bottom. The crust should overhang the edge slightly. In a small bowl, beat the egg white until slightly frothy. Brush it over the surface of the crust. Sprinkle the oats over the bottom of the crust, then spoon the apple lling into the crust. On a oured surface, roll the smaller piece of dough to a 10-inch square. Using a pizza cutter or a paring knife, cut the dough into 1-inch strips. Weave the strips in a lattice across the top of the apple filling. Alternatively, roll the dough into a 10-inch circle and simply transfer to the top of the pie for a full crust. Fold the overhang of the crust under the bottom crust, gently tucking them into the pie dish, then crimp the edge. Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl with the milk and brush over the surface of the pie crust. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake on the pizza stone or on a baking sheet set on the rack in the lowest position of the oven until the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cool before cutting.
FRESNO Imagine preparing a gourmet meal short of key ingredients and youll understand California winemaker Jason Haas dilemma this year. The one-two wallop of a late freeze and early rains have combined in this 2011 vintage year to create a dearth on the Central Coast of thin-skinned white grapes such as Viognier, Marsanne and Grenache blanc, critical ingredients in Haas Tablas Creek Rhone-style blends. Our Viognier is down 80 percent, said Haas, adding the later-emerging red grapes fared better against the weather. Usually when were down, its down uniformly across the board. Its going to be a challenge to do the blending this year. Across the state yields are down in 2011 but quality is predicted to be exceptional, thanks to Mother Nature delivering a mild summer season. Without drastic temperature spikes that cause sugar levels to climb too quickly, clusters are spending more time developing avor nuances on the vine. While that could add up to a great vintage, some wines might be in short supply, especially lower-priced wines sold under store labels. The issue there is that there might not be as much wine left over to make $3.99 bottles, said Haas, past president of the Rhone Rangers Board of Directors. Theres always some left over that gets bought up cheap at the end. There may be less of that around. Despite a reduction in quantity the prices of name brand bottles should remain stable, winemakers say, just as they are during gluts. Winemakers say that once prices are established on the market, its hard to change with a ckle public. So 2011 is set to go down as the year in which California winemakers make less money than 2010, when the Golden States wine sales reached $30 billion. It also will be known as a crazy weather year for growers or as the growers like to say normal. You plan for normal, but you know that its never going to be normal, said David Beckstoffer, who farms 3,000 acres in Napa, Mendocino and Lake counties.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., to vote. The likely 51-48 eventual tally would be far short of the 60 votes needed to keep the bill alive in the 100-member Senate. The demise of Obamas $447 billion jobs package was expected, despite his campaign-style efforts to swing the public behind it. The White House and leaders in Congress were already moving on to alternative ways to address the nations painful 9.1 percent unemployment, including breaking the legislation into smaller, more digestible pieces and approving long-stalled trade bills. Even before the tally ofcially closed, Obama resumed the campaign for the measure. In the coming days, members of Congress will have to take a stand on whether they believe we should put teachers, construction workers, police ofcers and reghters back on the job, Obama said in a statement. Because with so many Americans out of work and so many families struggling, we cant take no for an answer. The White House appears most condent that it will be able to continue a 2percentage-point Social Security payroll tax cut through 2012 and to extend emergency unemployment benets to millions of people if only because, in the White House view, Republicans wont want to accept the political harm of letting those provisions expire. White House ofcials are also hopeful of ultimately garnering votes for the approval of infrastructure spending and tax credits for businesses that hire unemployed veterans. Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana both up for re-election next year in states where Obama gures to lose broke with their party on Tuesday nights vote. Every Republican present opposed the plan. Earlier in the day, Obama capped his weekslong campaign for the measure in an appearance typical of the effort a tough-talking speech in a swing state crucial to his re-election. In fact, it

The public guardian and public conservatorship program is meant to serve the frail elderly and adults with physical or mental disabilities leaving them unable to manage their own nances or avoid fraud and undue inuence. Probate conservatorships are also used for younger individuals with mental impairments. Family members are prioritized as conservators but the public guardian is appointed if none is willing or appropriate. The guardian, who is responsible to the Superior Court, is then charged with arranging health, shelter, food, transportation and personal care needs for the conserved. Settling conservatorships can take months but public guardians were left asking banks to extend checking account freezes, for example, every 15 days or with their hands completely tied, said Lee Pullen, director of Aging and Adult Services of Santa Clara County.

Conditions arent likely to be too dull for you in the next year, when it comes to your career. All kinds of exciting and unexpected happenings could be in the offing, and how you respond to events could either make or break you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont place too much hope on verbal commitments from others regarding their willingness to help. When you need them the most, they could be dedicating their support elsewhere. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Control your powers of
concentration by keeping your mind only on the task at hand. If you happen to make a mistake, you should be able to catch it immediately and fix it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Something youve neglected for far too long might hamper your freedom of mobility. What youve been sweeping under the rug could suddenly create a veritable storm of dust bunnies. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Indecisiveness is an attitude that can easily be corrected. However, if you continue to persist being wishy-washy, your friends might not want to deal with you anymore. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Guard against continually attempting to do things that are way beyond your mental or physical capabilities. Face up to your shortcomings and seek help when needed.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be budget-minded, because if you arent, funds youve earmarked for necessities shant be there for you down the line, when you need them to pay the bills. Think ahead. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be extremely selective concerning with whom you spend your leisure time so that the wrong types dont ruin your fun. You need to laugh a bit to refurbish your soul. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Certain people tend to be somewhat caustic and/or critical, but you dont have to respond in kind. Set a good example by being extremely tolerant when dealing with everybody. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you want special items that you own to enjoy long lives, pay attention to your care in handling them. Breakage is a product of carelessness.
something of significance, make certain all parties involved understand the small points as well as the main issues in the agreement, so no one later can claim ignorance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Methodically plot your course of action before you jump into the fray, or you could end up being the victim of your own handiwork. Look ahead and program each and every step you take. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you let your friends look upon you as their rock of Gibraltar today, theyre likely to bring more trouble into your life than you care to handle.
