Whitman met by rowdy crowd at campaign stop

By Thomas Watkins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE — Republican
gubernatorial candidate Meg
Whitman encountered a rowdy
crowd — some yelling “go home”
— when she stopped Friday to visit a
popular Cuban pastry shop in
Southern California in the final
stretch of her campaign.
A noisy crowd of at least 100
swarmed Whitman while she
attempted to greet customers at
Porto’s Bakery, famous for its guava
cheese pastries and potato ball sand-
wiches. While some in the crowd
applauded the former chief executive
of eBay, others yelled at her.
Her detractors chanted “save our
schools” and “I want my pension,” a
reference to Whitman’s proposals to
cut state spending and replace gov-
ernment pensions with 401(k)-style
accounts. Whitman supporters
responded by calling her critics
“communists.”
Whitman’s voice was often
drowned out as she tried to talk with
customers, and she made no attempt
to address the crowd. After the event,
Whitman blamed the aggressive tone
of the crowd on union-backed agita-
tors who had arrived on a bus a few
minutes before she did.
“The unions are fighting for the
control that they’ve had on
Sacramento for the last 10 or 15 years,
and no one likes to give up control,”
she told reporters in a private room
above the bakery. “If I am governor,
their hand is going to be weakened.”
The California Nurses Association
has been following Whitman around
California, staging protests and
parading a character costumed as
“Queen Meg” outside the
Republican candidate’s campaign
stops. The union’s bus arrived short-
ly before Whitman entered the pastry
shop, and protesters lined the side-
walk chanting: “Hey, hey Whitman, REUTERS
get out of my town. All that money Former eBay Chief Executive Officer and California Republican candidate
and you’re 10 points down.” for governor Meg Whitman.

Another fire scam suspect in court Around the state

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
An unemployed San Francisco
woman prosecutors say posed as a
San Bruno fire victim to scam
$1,000 in relief funds will appear in
court Monday on charges including
fraud, perjury, burglary and filing a
false document.
The charges against Angela Marie
Wise, 46, mimic those against sev-
eral other people also accused of
milking the Sept. 9 San Bruno fire
disaster for cash and goods to which
they were not entitled.
Wise went to the victim relief
center Sept. 13 and claimed to live
within the affected neighborhood,
according to Chief Deputy District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Wise allegedly asked for a $1,000
Visa card, saying her housing and
food sustained smoke damage.
When skeptical workers contacted
the owner of the home Wise
claimed, she reportedly said she
lived in a downstairs in-law unit.
However, according to Wagstaffe,
Wise actually lives on Sunnydale
Avenue in San Francisco and the
San Bruno residence didn’t have an
in-law unit.
Wise was arrested Sept. 23 and
posted a $100,000 bail bond Sept.
24. She is scheduled to appear in
court Monday for initial arraign-
ment.
Wise’s potential criminal history
in San Francisco was not immedi-
ately available but she was convict-
ed in 1999 of grand theft and com-
mercial burglary of $3,200 in goods
from Macy’s department store in
Daly City. She was sentenced to six
months jail and three years proba-
tion.
Wise is just the latest in a growing
number of people accused of scams
in the wake of the fatal fire. Five
others are charged with similar
fraud. Another is accused of leading
police on a high-speed chase from
the San Bruno fire site down to San
Carlos.

Arrest in revenge
beating of priest
By Gillian Flaccus and Terence Chea
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE — A man who was allegedly molested three
decades ago by a priest attacked the retired clergyman in the
lobby of his retirement home after pretending to be there to
deliver news of a family member’s death.
Santa Clara County sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Rick Sung
said Friday that 43-year-old William Lynch was booked on
suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon for the May attack
on Rev. Jerold Lindner.
Lynch was being freed on $25,000 bail. He will plead not
guilty.
Sung says Lynch called the Jesuit retirement home in Los
Gatos before the attack to say he had a death notification for
the 65-year-old priest.
He says Lindner came to the lobby and Lynch began
punching him in the face and body in front of witnesses.

Factory fears China will get Girl Scouts work
PASSAIC, N.J. — The owners of a family-run New Jersey
factory that makes uniforms for the Girl Scouts of America
said they may be forced to close or lay off workers if the
organization takes its business to China.
Jackie Evans Inc. employs 90 workers at its plant in Passaic,
a once-booming manufacturing city in northern New Jersey,
about 10 miles west of New York City. They’ve been making
uniforms and sashes for the sole client for about a decade.
The Girl Scouts told the company a few weeks ago that it
would be seeking bids, including one from a company in
China, according to Domenick Monaco, the son of owner
Mario Monaco.

Smoke shop workers busted
The manager and another employ-
ee of a smoke shop in San Mateo
were arrested for selling marijuana
to undercover police officers,
according to the San Mateo County
Narcotics Task Force.
Police received multiple com-
plaints from neighbors about sus-
pected drug activity at Cigarette
City, at 29 W. 37th Ave., before
starting a three-month long investi-
gation, according to Marc
Alcantara, commander with the task
force.
The task force, along with the San
Mateo Police Department, executed
search warrants after arranging sev-
eral covert buys of marijuana from
the two employees, according to
Alcantara.
Arrested were Mahmoud Saeidah,
28, of Richmond, and Eid Ayesh,
28, of Hayward.
CPUC OKs upping
gas pipeline pressure
The California Public Utilities
Commission voted Thursday morn-

regional gas transmission lines in
the event of extremely cold weather
this winter.
Pressure in the pipelines that sup-
ply natural gas to more than a mil-

20 percent following a rupture on
Line 132, which ran beneath the
Crestmoor Canyon neighborhood in
San Bruno before it ruptured on

Police defend their work
Millbrae police took issue with the
findings of a 12-page report from the
California Commission on Police
Officer Standards and Training
which outlined ways to solve leader-
ship problems by consolidating the
department with San Bruno’s.
The report, conducted by an out-
side state agency, found a number of
issues in the department like a lack
of consistent leadership and large
amounts of undocumented patrol
time. Police Chief Neil Telford,
speaking before the City Council
last night, took issue with many of
the report’s points.
Council delays field-use vote
Two groups bickering over how
an athletic field should be used on a
private university’s campus had a
chance last night to present their
arguments to the Belmont City
Council, which delayed the decision
citing the amount of documentation
and public testimony.
Student athletes and youth sport
advocates want the city to allow
Notre Dame de Namur University to
expand the hours and days of opera-
tion at the Koret Athletic Field, used
for soccer and lacrosse. But some
neighbors living near the university
say the athletes are too noisy and
that the field’s use should be restrict-

Fiorina: Feinstein and I are like-minded
By Trevor Hunnicutt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MENLO PARK — Republican
Carly Fiorina said Friday she would
be a like-minded colleague of
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein if
she unseats Sen. Barbara Boxer next
week, drawing sharp responses from
both Democratic senators as they
appeared together at a campaign
stop.
“We agree on more issues,”
Fiorina said in describing views she
shares with Feinstein on water
issues, trade and national security.
“On a whole host of issues,
Dianne Feinstein and I, I am quite
sure, will be very productive col-

Iran says it is ready

VIENNA — Iran offered on
Friday to negotiate with six world
powers about its disputed nuclear
program in a new bid to end grow-
ing concern that it could be used to
produce weapons.
The move, following a hiatus of
more than a year, was anticipated in
the wake of an invitation to the
Iranian leadership last month by
chief EU envoy Catherine Ashton
and following repeated statements
by Tehran officials that they were
ready for talks.

refuted those claims.
“From day one she’s tried to drive
a wedge between Senator Feinstein

campaign chairman,” Boxer said of
Fiorina’s grab for centrist voters.
Feinstein is a strong supporter of
Boxer, a fellow Democrat, and has
responded to similar remarks by
Fiorina in the past. Feinstein said

person won’t fight to protect it, it
cuts our effectiveness by 50 per-
cent.”
Feinstein said “experience mat-

when she and Boxer went to the

effectively backbenchers” and have
since fought their way to leadership

Looking out for each other
“A
fter years of living
without an inclusive
moral vision for our
country, we have to remind the
American people that we are a
republic built on responsibilities to
each other, not just to ourselves.” —
Arianna Huffington, “Fanatics and
Fools.”
When my children were young,
our neighborhood was active and
lively all day. Stay-at-home mothers
(most of us) kept our eyes and ears
open as our kids played. Many
schoolchildren came home for lunch
and most walked to and from school.
We moms had time to take part in
community activities and interact
during the day. That was how we
looked after one another. We could
do this because our schools were
thriving, unemployment was low,
labor unions were strong, most
employers provided health insur-
ance, the majority of jobs were
secure and in most cases it took only
one breadwinner to be able to pur-
chase a home and provide for the
family.
Now neighborhoods have
changed, and we must look out for a
much wider community, including
our good old USA, because we can
no longer depend upon our govern-
ment to have our best interest at
heart. It’s not that we should be go
back to the “good old days” (we
couldn’t if we wanted to), but there
is now something missing that is

generate $1.4 billion in revenue for the

Reasonable questions
needed on Saltworks
Editor,
As Redwood City considers the
scope of the environmental review
for the Saltworks site, I hear two
distinct sets of voices during public
comment.
‘It doesn’t help that we Americans continue
to drift farther apart materially, idealistically,
socially and ideologically as we’re becoming
more egocentric, selfish and self-absorbed.’
whacking working Americans every
which way for the past three or four
decades. While globalization and
technological wizardry were wreak-
ing employment havoc, the movers
and shakers in government and in
the board rooms of the great corpo-
rations were embracing privatization
and deregulation with the fervor of
fanatics. The safety net was shred-
ded, unions were brutally attacked
and demonized, employment train-
ing and job programs were eliminat-
ed, higher education costs skyrocket-
ed, and the nation’s infrastructure, a
key to long-term industrial and eco-
nomic health, deteriorated.”
It doesn’t help that we Americans
continue to drift farther apart materi-
ally, idealistically, socially and ideo-
logically as we’re becoming more
egocentric, selfish and self-absorbed.
“Getting yours” seems to be the
mantra of our time — and to heck
with anyone else, but it is especially
important now that we come togeth-
er to not only look out for our neigh-
borhood and community, but to
work to reclaim what we have lost
and for so long had taken for grant-
ed.
In looking out for each other, we
must demand, among other things,
that employers respect their employ-
ees by providing full-time, stable
jobs that provide a living wage plus
benefits. We must see that our

already proven to be burdensome
for medicinal marijuana,which
has a true benefit for those who
require it for physical ailments.
***
Proposition 20-YES,
Proposition 27-NO
California’s legislative districts
have been drawn by those in
power to ensure “safe”districts
for their colleagues.In doing so,
they have created a system in
which there is little competition for some
members of the state Assembly and Senate
and little incentive for those on either side
of the aisle to work with members of the
opposing party since they are virtually
assured of re-election.
Proposition 20 would expand the role of
the commission to include congressional
districts and would eliminate any
temptation to draw districts for political
gain.Proposition 27 would eliminate the
commission before it has a chance to
reform a sorely broken system.
***
Proposition 21-NO
Would establish an $18 surcharge on every
vehicle owner’s Department of Motor
Vehicle annual bill in exchange for free
access to state parks.It’s a way for the state
to raise the car tax under the auspices of a
benefit to the parks system when it would
actually funnel money it collects into the
general fund.
***
Proposition 22-YES
Proposition 22 will prohibit the state,even
during a period of severe financial hardship,
from delaying the distribution of tax
revenue for transportation,redevelopment
or local government projects and services.

OPINION
schools are funded adequately and
college fees are within reach of all
who qualify. We must ensure that
our police and fire departments are
able to operate at full effectiveness
in case of disaster. We must demand
that everyone is provided affordable
health care and that the environment
is respected and preserved. And we
must see that the unfortunate get the
help they need.
For this to come about, we who
enjoy so many comforts need to
slow down and tune in to what’s
going on around us. We must see
beyond ourselves and decide what’s
best for all and act accordingly.
Many of us will have to get over the
idea that we are entitled to arrogant-
ly accumulate materially while so
many are hungry and homeless. We
must empathetically believe that the
needs of others are as important as
our own. Whatever happened to
humility?
As we have become increasingly
self-centered, narcissistic and hedo-
nistic, we must realize how our cul-
ture encourages this. As we are
being manipulated and exploited big

government agencies who are
beholden to them, much is being
lost. As Herbert wrote in relation to
this on Aug. 6, “Everybody is to

emissions and ensuring clean air
and water for our state.It is a quest
that should not be way-laid by our current
economic cycle.
Proposition 24-NO
***
A law signed by the governor in 2009 as part
of the budget deal allowed multistate
businesses a new way to determine how
much of their income that California taxes.
Under the law,businesses can shift operating
losses to prior and future tax years,share tax
credits with affiliated corporations and use a
sales-based income calculation.
***
Proposition 25-NO
Proponents claim this proposal would end
the annual gridlock in Sacramento when it
comes to passing the state budget.In
theory,it would.However,the current two-
thirds majority is an important safeguard
against a legislative majority freely
increasing new taxes and state worker pay
and pensions.Reducing the threshold for a
state budget passage should not be
enacted until redistricting reform is under
way so more moderate legislators on both
sides of the aisle have a chance to work
with each other.

Proposition 26-NO
This proposition would broaden the
ation space? How could it alleviate
the flooding we get every winter?
The other comes from opponents
who only manage to say one thing:
No.
We should not explore new hous-
ing, provide new flood protection,

NEW YORK — Stocks edged higher
Friday to close out the best October for
the Dow Jones industrial average in four
years.
Trading activity was relatively light,
with the Dow keeping to a tight range of
just 50 points, amid uncertainty over
next week’s elections. News that the
U.S. economy rose at just a 2 percent
annual pace in the three months ending
in September had little effect on stock
prices.

Economy still sluggish before Election Day
By Jeannnine Aversa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The last read on
the economy before the midterm elec-
tions found Americans are spending a
little more but not nearly enough to
bring down high unemployment — one
final bit of bad news for Democrats.
The economy expanded at a 2 percent
pace from July to September, the
Commerce Department said Friday. It
marked a slight improvement from the
scant 1.7 percent growth rate in the pre-
vious quarter.
But to keep up with population growth
and actually bring down unemployment,
the economy must grow much faster.
Economists figure it takes growth at a
rate of about 5 percent for a full year to
lower the jobless rate by a percentage
point.

Big Oil resets its sights on Gulf of Mexico
By Chris Kahn

NEW YORK — Big Oil is ready to go

with the U.S government promising to

Chevron, Exxon, Royal Dutch Shell
are willing to endure the additional time
to secure permits and extra costs that

SAN FRANCISCO — YouTube co-

as CEO of the world’s most popular

Hurley’s decision to give up the lead-
ership role at the 5-year-old site formal-
izes a transition that has been in the
Wall Street
in a row. The Dow and S&P are both up
about 6 percent for the year, while the
Nasdaq is up 10.5 percent.
Since September, the Standard and
Poor’s 500 index, perhaps the best meas-
ure of the stock market, is up 12.7 per-
cent. King Pharmaceuticals Inc., which
was up 42 percent in October after Pfizer
Inc. announced plans to buy it, was the
index’s best performing stock. Apollo
Group Inc., which fell 27 percent in
October after the company said that new
government regulation would affect its
profit, was the index’s worst performer.
Normally slow GDP growth would
have driven stocks much lower. But
signs of weak economic expansion have
built up expectations that the Federal
Reserve will take bold steps to boost the
economy when it meets early next week.
“Because GDP was so lackluster, we
don’t see the Fed pumping the brakes”
on its plan, said Tony Zabiegala, a part-

Economists declared that the recession
technically ended in June 2009.
“It is not just anger at the politicians,”
he added. “When voters come out of the
voting booth and go to work they will
still be angry. They are angry that we’re
not even close to being out of this.”

Texas hopes to crash World Series party

ARLINGTON, Texas — A half-
hour after Jeff Francoeur hit an easy
fly ball to end Game 2, a most curious
sight began to unfold in front of the
San Francisco dugout.
General manager Brian Sabean and
maybe 100 members of the Giants
staff gathered on the grass Thursday
night at AT&T Park, posing for a

Moments later, the party picked up.

Panthers claw out win Hillsdale

By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Two heads are often said to be

better than one, but in Burlingame’s
case Friday night, it was a three-
headed rushing attack that carried
the load in a 28-16 victory over vis-
iting King’s Academy.
The combination of running
backs Dan Cuddy, Ilan Lesov and
Jordan Pessah was so important in
keeping Knights superstar Amir
Carlisle off the field, that
Burlingame coach John
Philipopoulos admitted after the
game that he told his team during
the week of practice that the most
important defense to be played in
the game would be “a ball-control,
grind-it-out offense.”
The Burlingame trio ended with a
total of 299 yards rushing and four
touchdowns, with Lesov contribut-
ing 123 yards and two scores,
Cuddy pitching in 92 yards and two
scores, and Pessah earning 84 tough
yards to help seal the win. In addi-
tion to a stout Panthers run defense,
the Burlingame running attack
could also be credited for limiting
the Knights to running only four
plays total in the third quarter.
“I couldn’t ask for a better per-
formance from our offense,”
Philipopoulos said.
The Panthers’ defense, however,
was the first unit to respond in
Burlingame’s favor. Getting King’s
Academy to go three-and-out to
start the game, Burlingame then
went down the field in seven plays
to score on a 17-yard touchdown
run by Lesov.

Hillsdale coach Mike Parodi said his team’s
offense is designed to take what the defense
gives it.
On Friday afternoon against Capuchino High
School, the defense ended up giving Hillsdale
senior receiver Anthony Huni three catches for
touchdowns to help the Knights stay in the
Peninsula Athletic League Lake Division
championship hunt with a 41-18 win.
Knights quarterback Yannis Tsagarakis
played only the first half, but that was enough
for the junior to finish 8-for-12 for 126 yards
and four touchdowns — three of which went to
Huni for passes of 42, 15 and 29 yards —
against two interceptions. The ground game
was also efficient for Hillsdale (3-1 PAL Lake,
6-2 overall), as running back Angel Salazar fin-
ished the contest with 15 carries for 127 rush-
ing yards and a score.
Despite the fact that Hillsdale ended the first
half ahead 34-6, and would have won by more
if not for an inconsequential late Capuchino (0-
3, 1-6) touchdown on a fumble recovery with
less than two minutes to play, Parodi said the
team will need to refocus for next week.
“We didn’t play the way we want to,” he said.
“Definitely not the way we need to going into a
championship game against Sequoia.”
Sequoia was in sole possession of first place
of the Lake Division entering this weekend’s
games. A score from the Cherokee’s game
against Mills was unavailable as of press time.
Hillsdale will host Sequoia on Friday.
Huni got the game’s scoring started by catch-
ing a 42-yard seam pass with 1:58 remaining in
the first quarter, and Sho Sato tacked on a extra
point to make it 7-0. Salazar rushed for a 16-
yard score and Sato added a PAT a little more

Warriors bury Clippers,but lose Curry to injury

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Monta Ellis had 15 points and
11 assists, Dorel Wright scored 24 points and the
Golden State Warriors beat the Los Angeles
Clippers 109-91 on Friday night.
Stephen Curry added 16 points before re-
injuring his right ankle in the third quarter. The
second-year guard, who originally hurt the ankle
in the preseason and aggravated it in the
Warriors’ season-opening victory against
Houston on Wednesday night, did not return.
Ellis, who matched his career high of 46
points against the Rockets, had an off night
shooting, but made three 3-pointers and came
within two assists of tying his personal best.
Blake Griffin, the top overall pick in 2009
Warriors 109, Clippers 91
who missed all of last season because of a knee
injury, had his second straight double-double
with 14 points and 10 rebounds while playing in
foul trouble most of the second half.
The Warriors are 2-0 for the first time since
1994 when they won their first five before fin-
ishing 26-56.
Golden State’s good feelings after the game
were tempered by the injury to Curry, who was
hurt while trying to get around a pick set by
Griffin with 6:03 left in the third quarter.
Curry rolled his right foot and immediately
fell to the floor in pain. When play was halted,
trainers rushed out to Curry, who lay on the
court for several moments while surrounded by
teammates and coach Keith
Smart.
Curry eventually was
helped to his feet and
limped slowly off the court.
He was examined in the
trainer’s room and did not
return.
Before getting hurt,
Stephen Curry Curry scored six straight
points to start the third
quarter and ignited a 21-2 run that put Golden
State ahead for good. Ellis had five points during
the streak while Lee added four, then later
scored on a three-point play to give the Warriors
their biggest lead of the night at 87-63.
Wright helped pick up the scoring slack once
Curry left, matching his career high with six 3-
pointers.
Griffin did most of his scoring in the first
quarter before heading to the bench with three
fouls. He finished 6 of 14 from the floor and
added three assists for the Clippers (0-2).
Ellis notched his 15th career double-double
for Golden State, which beat Los Angeles for the
ninth time in the last 10 games between the two
teams at Oracle Arena.
Golden State only led 58-54 at halftime
despite outshooting Los Angeles.
The Warriors made their first eight shots and
didn’t miss until nearly 8 minutes into the first
quarter. The Clippers started 6 of 18 but
shrugged off the slow start and used a 12-0 to
build a 28-27 lead.

Defense seals Terra Nova victory

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

While the Terra Nova offense gets a lot of attention, the Tigers’
defense flies under the radar.
Except for this week as they absorbed the questions following
last week’s 41-28 loss to King’s Academy. The defense got off to
a rough start Friday afternoon, as Menlo-Atherton took a quick
14-0 lead just 7:47 into the first quarter.
But the Tigers stabilized, held the Bears to just one more score
and then sealed a 31-21 win when linebacker Jeremy Leaver
intercepted a Willy Fonua pass and returned it 53 yards for the
final nail in the Bears’ coffin.
“I was doing what coach taught me. Just watch the receiver and
when he puts his hands up, put my hands up,” Leaver said.
The fact he came away with the pick at all was a miracle. There
were about four players in a small space when the pass was
thrown and it almost seemed to catch Leaver by surprise. He bob-
bled it briefly — he was playing with a sprained right thumb —
but corralled it and then got a wall of blockers to escort him to the
end zone.
“Lurking in the cupboards, there’s a pretty damn good defense
that gives up yardage but not a lot of points,” said Terra Nova
coach Bill Gray of his defense.
Terra Nova (3-1 PAL Bay, 5-3 overall) gave up a lot of yardage
— and points — last weekend, but held Menlo-Atherton (1-3, 2-
6) in relative check. The Bears managed only 236 yards of
offense, with 152 of that coming in the first half. They had nine
first downs in the first half, but only five in the second. Of the 21
points allowed, only 14 came from the offense as Menlo-Atherton
defensive back Taylor Mashack scooped up a fumble and
returned it 25 yards on the first play from scrimmage.
In fact, Menlo-Atherton struck twice in the first quarter before
the teams had settled in. Terra Nova took the opening kickoff and, NATHAN MOLLAT / DAILY JOURNAL

cally drove 63 yards on 10 plays, with Cameron Moody slither-
ing the final 13 yards for a 21-17 lead.
The two defense took control for the rest of the third quarter
and most of the fourth before Terra Nova pulled out the win. With
6:16 left to play, the Tigers took over at their own 36 and marched
64 yards on 11 plays, overcoming two sacks and a false start
penalty along the way. Forbes found Manessis in the corner of the
end zone for a 17-yard touchdown and a 24-21 lead.
Menlo-Atherton had one last chance, but it died in the arms of
Leaver.

Atherton coach Sione Ta’ufo’ou. “I have to make sure they’re
mentally prepared, physically prepared. It’s on me.”

Broncos,49ers look for turnaround in London
By Mattias Karen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — To showcase the best it has to
offer, the NFL chose to send two storied fran-
chises to London.
The league just better hope British fans pay
more attention to the past than the present.
The San Francisco 49ers play the Denver
Broncos at Wembley Stadium on Sunday in a
matchup of two teams that bear little resem-
blance to their championship-caliber teams
from the days of Joe Montana and John
Elway.
The 49ers (1-6) are all but out of the playoff
picture and have quarterback Alex Smith side-
lined with a left shoulder injury. The Broncos
(2-5) are coming off an embarrassing 45-point
loss to the Oakland Raiders and have the
league’s worst running game.
No wonder 49ers head coach Mike
Singletary doesn’t want to hear about compar-
isons to bygone eras.
“The one thing I don’t do is spend much
time thinking about what was. I spend a lot of
time thinking about the possibilities ahead of
us,” Singletary said. “This is our finest hour,
as a team and as a staff. When things are
going well, it’s very easy to be a great coach,
Raiders look to turn corner against Seahawks
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — There have been a handful
of moments over the past two years where it
looked as if the Oakland Raiders had finally
turned the corner after years of losing.
There have been dramatic comebacks,
shocking upsets and streak-busting victories
that seemed to portend better times ahead, yet
were instead followed with one of the duds
that has characterized a seven-year run of los-
ing for a once-proud franchise.
The latest sign of progress comes from one
of the most emphatic victories in franchise
history, a 59-14 thrashing of rival Denver that
was the highest-scoring game in Raiders his-
tory.
“It was a big win, but the season doesn’t
end after that win,” Pro Bowl cornerback

very easy to be a great
player. But when things
are not going the way you
want them to go, it’s
tougher.”
This is the fourth year
that the NFL is staging a
regular-season game at
Wembley, part of its effort
Kyle Orton to boost its brand and fan
base abroad. The games
have rarely been pretty, however, as London’s
wet weather and Wembley’s soft turf —
which is more used to soccer boots than foot-
ball cleats — have a tendency to turn the field
into mud.
Rain is forecast for Sunday, as well. That
could spell trouble for the Broncos, who rely
heavily on a passing game that includes plen-
ty of quick precision routes.
But Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton didn’t
seem too worried.
“From what I have heard, there’s been a ton
of improvements to the field (at Wembley),”
Orton said. “I think it’s going to be a good
surface to play on. ... Wet fields are a chance
for big plays on offense. You get a DB (defen-
sive back) to slip or something like that, so I
certainly think a wet field is a good advantage
for the offense.”
Nnamdi Asomugha said. “So the feeling is
there that, ’Look, this is the type of standard
that we have set, these are the things that we
can do.’ But in order to completely turn the
corner we have to put together a string of
wins, not get overconfident or complacent in
any way and just continue to play at the level
that we know we can play at.”
The Raiders (3-4) now look to build on that
performance when they return home to face
the surprising Seattle Seahawks (4-2), who
look like the best team in the NFC West less
than halfway into coach Pete Carroll’s first
season.
Oakland’s rebuilding job is taking much
longer. The Raiders have lost at least 11
games for seven straight seasons — the
longest stretch of such futility in NFL history.
But with a win three weeks ago against
division rival San Diego and last week’s
Orton’s optimism aside,
another mud bowl would
likely benefit the 49ers,
who play a grittier style
based largely around Pro
Bowl running back Frank
Gore.
“If it rains, you can’t
really put the ball in the
Troy Smith air,” Gore said. “But I feel
that my role is important
no matter what.”
It could be even more important Sunday.
With Alex Smith sidelined, Singletary has
chosen to give Troy Smith — who won a
Heisman Trophy at Ohio State — his first
NFL start in three years.
Troy Smith joined the Niners from
Baltimore this season, and had only been run-
ning the scout team in practice until this week.
Still, Singletary picked the mobile quarter-
back ahead of regular backup David Carr,
whose costly interception against Carolina
last weekend set up the winning field goal for
the Panthers.
Troy Smith’s last NFL start was for the
Ravens in 2007, and neither team seems to
know quite what to expect from the quarter-
back.
“We looked at a lot of Baltimore tape of
blowout in Denver, Oakland is showing signs
of progress in coach Tom Cable’s second full
season at the helm.
“I couldn’t imagine Al Davis liking a regu-
lar season win more than that one and the way
it happened,” Carroll said. “It was just a fan-
tastic showing by their entire football team.
We go into their place with them high-flying
and pumped up so we got to really get our
game right.”
The Raiders broke out to a 38-0 lead after
22 minutes and didn’t let up. They finished
with 328 yards rushing — the third highest
total in team history — and held the Broncos
potent passing offense in check.
But it was the franchise-record 59 points
that caught people’s attention, especially
coming one week after being kept out of the
end zone in a 17-9 loss at San Francisco.

McDaniels said. “The thing people want to
talk about is, he can make plays last with his
legs. Yes, he can, but he can also do a lot of
good things from the pocket with his arm.
“We studied him today and talked about the
strengths and weaknesses that he’s going to
bring to the game. We’re going to have to
defend him a little differently than some other
people that we play.”
The Niners will also have to approach the
game differently. With Troy Smith scrambling
to learn the playbook, offensive coordinator
Mike Johnson said he will limit the number of
formations he uses.
“You have to cut back, you have to scale
back, and you can’t pull from as many
things,” Johnson said. “So third down, red
zone, it’s going to be things that suit him.”
With the Niners already in a hole, line-
backer Takeo Spikes said he was happy to see
Singletary take a gamble on Troy Smith.
“Coach mentioned this morning that you
can’t continue to do the same things and
expect to get different results,” Spikes said.
“So hopefully this change right here will be
the spark that we need, that will energize not
only the offensive side of the ball, but special
teams and the defense.”
lineman Colin Cole said. “I was surprised, I
know that. I don’t think anybody is expecting
to see that kind of number for any game.”
Especially after the debacle in San
Francisco when the Raiders were unable to
complete a single pass in the second and third
quarters and went nearly 35 minutes without a
first down.
That’s been a disturbing pattern for the
Raiders, who have not won consecutive
games since the end of the 2008 season.
Oakland is 0-7 following wins the past two
years, being outscored by 19 points per game
and managing just three touchdowns.

Luck vs.Locker highlights Stanford and Washington
By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Even though the connection
was made by NFL draft gurus over a year ago,
Stanford’s Andrew Luck and Washington’s Jake
Locker didn’t get to know each other until this
summer, when the Pac-10’s stable of quarter-
backs were being promoted on the East Coast.
So far, Luck is the only one consistently
matching the hype.
The question of who will eventually make the
better pro quarterback will receive a head-to-
head evaluation Saturday when Washington
hosts No. 13 Stanford.
Through the first half of the season, Luck is
handily winning the debate. His Cardinal (6-1,
3-1) are off to their best start in 40 years, ranked
for the 13th consecutive week and can remain on
the heels of No. 1 Oregon in the Pac-10 with a

and fifth in passing yards
per game.
“He’s really talented,
really disciplined. He’s a
very productive quarterback
Andrew Luck and puts his team in a posi-
tion to win every week,”
Locker said of his Stanford counterpart.
For more than 12 months, draft pundits have
debated where Luck, a redshirt sophomore who
could leave Stanford after this season, and
Locker would land when they enter the NFL.
Before the season, most believed Locker
would go ahead of Luck if the two are available
in the 2011 draft. But Locker’s play has fol-
lowed that of his bipolar Washington team, with
LLC said. Colorado set the previous record of
15 runs in 2007.
“If you try to get too amped or too overly
confident, I think you get yourself in trouble,”
Lewis said.
Vladimir Guerrero will rejoin the Texas line-
up as the designated hitter. He drove in the first
run of this World Series with a single off Tim
Lincecum’s leg, but also made two errors in
right field and sat out Game 2.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Pablo
Sandoval will be his DH.
“We get to get all of our weapons in that line-
up,” Washington said. “It’s just comfortable to
be back home in front of our fans. We can draw
energy from them, and that’s what we need.”
They certainly need some sort of boost.
“We’re not playing the same. I don’t know
what it is,” Texas slugger Nelson Cruz said. “I
wish I could tell you. The way we’re playing,
moments where his incredi-
ble athleticism and talent
shines, and other times
where heads shake.
In Washington’s three

10 touchdowns and just one
interception with at least
250 yards passing. In the

(3-4, 2-2), Locker is barely
completing 50 percent of his passes, with four
touchdowns and three interceptions.
Meanwhile, Luck is the picture of consisten-
cy. He’s thrown 19 touchdowns to just five inter-
ceptions — although all five have come in the
last four weeks. He’s completing nearly 67 per-
cent of his passes and throwing for nearly 250
yards per game. His passer rating of 165.4 trails
only USC’s Matt Barkley in the Pac-10 and is
it’s different. It’s not us.”
Neither is San Francisco, apparently. The
week began with many fans wondering whether
the Giants could hit enough to win — so far,
they’ve become the first NL team to score at
least nine runs in back-to-back World Series
games.
Bochy and the Giants were merely going
about their business inside the clubhouse while
the postgame festivities took place on the field
at AT&T Park, so nobody could accuse them of
celebrating too early.
“There’s baseball left,” Bochy said Friday.
“Two wins doesn’t get you anything.”
Outside, members of the Giants organization
whooped it up. They stood around the NL
championship trophy — the official picture
might’ve been a matter of logistics since there’s
no guarantee the Series will return to San
Francisco.

seventh nationally.
And, while not considered in the same cate-
gory as Locker as a running quarterback, Luck is
the Cardinal’s second-leading rusher with 253
yards.
“We’ve got to be able to generate our pass
rush against those guys to take advantage of our
opportunities in one-on-one pass-rushing set-
tings,” Washington coach Steve Sarkisian said.
“I think it’s twofold: One, stout against the run,
and two, we’ve got to be able to create pressure
on Andrew Luck. He’s a talented guy.”
While most of the attention Saturday will be
on the two quarterbacks, Stanford running back
Stepfan Taylor could be in for a big day. Last
year, Toby Gerhart rumbled through
Washington’s defense for 200 yards rushing in
the Cardinal’s 34-14 victory.
And the Huskies’ ability to stop the run this
year isn’t any better.
“See you next year,” some giddy fans told
ushers on their way out of the stadium. Others
chanted “Sweep! Sweep!”
About 400 Giants employees and guests were
set to come to Texas.
“If anything to see how these fans have come
out and brought the enthusiasm, energy, it’s
been a lot of fun here playing down the stretch,”
Bochy said after the win.
Texas was one of baseball’s best home teams
this year, the Giants were among the top road
clubs. The Rangers also had been doing well on
the road — 5-1 in the AL playoffs — before
San Francisco stopped them.
“Obviously they’re more comfortable where
they play. That’s their home ballpark. They’re
used to having the DH,” Giants second baseman
Freddy Sanchez said.

Knights called a double-reverse with receiver
Ben Leong chucking a long pass to a streaking
Carlisle, who caught the ball only a few yards
ahead of a defender but turned on the jets to
make it a 68-yard touchdown. The ensuing extra
point was mishandled, leaving the Panthers
ahead 14-6.
Two possessions later, Cuddy would hit pay-
dirt on a 1-yard touchdown with 4:27 remaining
in the half to put Burlingame up 14-6. King’s
Academy drove down the field on its next pos-
session but would get no further than the 6-yard

Justin Ewing kept Capuchino from losing
control immediately by returning the ensuing
kickoff 65 yards to the Hillsdale 29-yard line.
Five plays later, Lucciano Molina made a bril-
liant one-handed catch on a seam route for an
18-yard touchdown pass after Gretter faked a
draw. The extra point was blocked, leaving the
Mustangs trailing 14-6.

field goal to put the Knights five points behind,
14-9.
The second half featured a steady diet of
dives, sweeps and misdirections by the Panthers
offense, which left the Knights’ defense gassed
and Carlisle on the sidelines. Lesov and Cuddy
again had one touchdown each in the half.
Carlisle (15 carries, 84 yards) broke free for a
21-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter,
but it was a case of too little too late, as a King’s
Academy extra point made it 28-16 with just

three touchdowns passes by Tsagarakis — two
to Huni and one to Grant Cecil for an 8-yard
score that made it 28-7.
Capuchino coach Jordan Siden said his club
had a rough week of practice and morale has
been an issue. In the end though, he said he was
proud of the way his team fought.
“Even though we got beat up on the score-
board, I think Hillsdale knows they played a
tough game,” Siden said. “I honestly think this
was the best game we’ve played all season.”
The contest was certainly one of the best on
the season for Huni, who now has 10 touch-
downs on the year.
“The QBs, both of them are close friends, so
we’re just all connecting,” he said.

never saw the ball again, as the Panthers stuck to

running plays for 54 yards.

Hillsdale’s only score in the second half was
on a 65-yard scoop-and-score by Dijuan
Jackson, who recovered a fumble forced by a big
hit by defensive back Michael Camel. In total,
the Knights defense forced four turnovers, three
of which were fumbles by Gretter. Hillsdale’s
offense had three interceptions and one fumble
of its own, but none of them directly resulted in
points for the Mustangs.
With attention now shifting to the final two
weeks of the season, Huni said that no bigger
emphasis will be put on next week’s game, but
rather the same focus. It will simply be another
step to the postseason.
“We consider every game our championship
game,” Huni said, “and next week’s the first
playoff game.”

heel, just doing it week in and week out.
Hopefully we can put this week together and get
on a little roll.”
The Seahawks are starting to do just that with
wins the past two weeks against Chicago and
Arizona. Seattle hasn’t won three in a row since
2007 on the way to a fourth straight division title.
They’ve gotten a big boost this season from a
surprising source: former Raiders receiver Mike
Williams. The former USC star was a draft bust
in Detroit before trying to resurrect his career in
Oakland.
He was out of shape, with his weight report-
edly reaching 271 pounds, and was cut three
years ago this weekend. After a brief stint with
Tennessee, Williams spent the past two years out
of the NFL before getting another chance with
his former college coach.
“I wouldn’t say I ever lost the love for the
game,” Williams said. “I just kind of lost my way
as far as being a pro, and how to be a pro, and
things like that. As far as football, football is
always going to be important to me.”
Williams leads the Seahawks with 32 catches
for 348 yards in just six games, including 21 the
past two games. Williams caught only seven
passes in six games with the Raiders.
“Things didn’t really work out here,” Raiders
cornerback Stanford Routt said. “He was all-
world at USC so the dude definitely has talent.
You can’t ever overlook that. ... He’s bigger, he’s
stronger, he’s physical. That’s his M.O. That’s
what he brings to the table. I saw it here, and
that’s what you see on film in Seattle right now.”

Continued from page 1
part of the $963 million erased from the state
budget before signing. The program, which
helps working families with child care, is
scheduled to end Nov. 5. On Friday, the First
5 San Mateo County Commission approved a
loan of up to $705,000 to two organizations
that provide such services — Child Care
Coordinating Council, known as the 4Cs,
and PACE. If legislation in the works to rein-
state the funds does not pass, First 5 will be
out the money. However, the three months
will allow social service providers to work
with affected families to find other solutions
after January.
“The likelihood of [legislation] being
approved is slim,” said Debby Armstrong,
executive director of First 5 San Mateo
County. “This is a risk of the commission. I
put it forward as a risk.”
Taking the risk will allow agencies to work
with families to apply for additional help to
cover food costs, allowing families to put the
funds toward child care, said Vice Chair
The commission considered a two-month
loan, but allowed the extra month since the
new governor would not be in office yet. Also,
many families and employees may not be
around during the upcoming holiday months.
At the time of the unanimous vote, funding
was scheduled to end Nov. 1. Funds from the
state will now continue through Nov. 5, as
ordered Friday by the Superior Court of
California in Alameda County.
“The children of working poor parents will
continue to receive child-care services
through next Friday,” state Superintendent
Jack O’Connell wrote in a prepared state-
ment. “Regardless of the legal outcome of
this case, the governor’s cruel and heartless
veto has caused tremendous pain and uncer-
tainty for working families who are strug-
gling to make ends meet. I remain committed
to working with the Legislature and the child-
care community to find funding that will pro-
vide both a short- and long-term solution to
this crisis that puts the needs of children
first.”
A hearing was set in the same court Nov.
4, at which time the judge will consider
whether Schwarzenegger’s veto eliminating
all CalWORKS Stage 3 services can be
legally implemented.
“Because of the governor’s veto of $256
million in chil-care funding, thousands of par-
ents were facing the grim choice of quitting
their jobs to take care of their children,”
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, said
in a press release. “This is not only counter-
productive — it doesn’t make economic
sense.”
Stateside, the cut hits more than 60,000
Coordinating Council sent out notices to 205
families with 325 children and another agency
sent out notices to 150 families.
The child-care program is designed to help
those who’ve transitioned off welfare. Stage 1
begins when the family first enters a welfare-
to-work program and lasts up to six months or
when work becomes stable. Stage 2 follows
when the family is transitioning off aid and
often requires some day care payment. Stage
3 — the program in jeopardy — is the final
term when a family is fully off cash aid. Day
care costs are set by family size and income
and the program can last up until the child is
age 12.
In San Mateo County, the average family in
Stage 3 works in administrative capacities
such as dental records and averages a gross
income of $28,000 for a family of three. In
comparison, the self-sufficiency level in San
Mateo County is approximately $67,000 in
gross income.
In an Oct. 19 letter to First 5 San Mateo,
Assemblyman John A. Pérez, D-Los Angeles,
asked the agency to help while elected offi-
cials worked on legislative action to restore
funding.

young woman who some 70-odd years ago
had an illicit affair with a handsome piano
player in the restaurant bar even though she
was already a wife and mother. The woman
died in a violent automobile accident and now
haunts the distillery, looking for her lost love.
Many unexplained events have been
chalked up to the Blue Lady: mysterious
phone calls, rooms locked from the inside,
women diners losing earrings only to have
them all discovered in a single spot weeks
later and even sightings reported by children.
Further inland, an employee at the
Woodside Store was so shaken by a ghostly
canine apparition that dissolved before her
eyes, she quit.
“It was a rainy, stormy Saturday when I got
a call and she said ‘I can’t stay here. I can’t
there was a huge dog standing right in the
employee area then it disappeared,” recalls
Mitch Postel, executive director of the San
Mateo County Historical Society.
The Woodside Store is touted by the socie-
ty as a way to visit the 1880s. Dr. R.O. Tripp
and Mathias Parkhurst built it in 1854 and it
served as country store, post office and com-
munity center until 1909. Dr. Tripp always
had big dogs around the property, Postel said.
Some of those animals made it into photo-
graphs from the era currently in the society’s
possession. The particular employee looked at
some of those pictures and what do you think
she saw? The same dog that gave her such a
fright.
Postel said he didn’t get much of a chance
to interview her about what she saw after that.
The county history museum itself might
have a spirit or two hanging around. The
Redwood City Kiwanis helped the museum
move into his current home at the historical
courthouse and one member reported seeing
movement and lights. One night, a curator
and down. He thought somebody was in the
building. While in the basement, the curator
saw the elevator come all the way down and
the doors opened.
No one was there.
For his part, Postel said he doesn’t believe
in ghost stories but can see why some people
do. First, there’s the desire to want something
after death — to think it’s not all over.
Then, of course, there is loving the thrill of
the unknown, the curiosity of another world.
If there were to be spirits hanging around,
Postel suggests one of Colma’s many ceme-
teries as a good spot. After all, they do house
many known figures, like Wyatt Earp, William
Randolph Hearst and Joe DiMaggio.
But the Colma Historical Association is
quick to dismiss the idea, especially around
Halloween when some might take ghoulish
fascination a little too far.
Don’t worry; Postel dug up a tale for those
whose Halloween wouldn’t be complete with-
out at least one story involving headstones and
The Purissima Cemetery, all that’s left of
the town of Purissima south of Half Moon
Bay, includes a little boy who died from a
fever. A grown man fell ill with similar symp-
toms about a week later and appeared to have
also died. However, he woke up just as funer-
al preparations were being finished.
Suddenly the boy’s family and the town
were worried — “Oh my god, did we bury this
kid alive?” Postel recounts.
The city exhumed the boy’s grave and
opened the coffin. His body was flipped over
inside.
For all its skin-crawling entertainment,
Postel isn’t so certain about the story’s histor-
ical accuracy.
“I wouldn’t stake my life on it,” Postel said.
Maybe that’s why ghost stories are about
the dead.

‘Monsters’not so scary
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Even if the visually similar
“Cloverfield” and the thematically
similar “District 9” didn’t already
exist, “Monsters” would still seem
painfully hackneyed and obvious.

Americans stranded in Mexico
can’t get back across the border
because there’s a giant infected
zone filled with scary aliens block-
ing their way. American troops
who patrol this northernmost part
of the country are arrogant jerks,
while the Mexican people who
help our twentysomething travelers
are generous and kind.
Once they do reach the edge of
the United States, they see a tall,
foreboding wall intended to keep
intruders out.
In case we still can’t figure out
the point of Gareth Edwards’ film,
he has one of his characters
state the following: “You
know, it’s different

Yes, “Monsters” really is that
heavy-handed, which might have
been more tolerable if it had at
least offered some vague tension or
even the slightest glimmer of
chemistry between its two stars,

The art of
the game
By Jeremy Venook
T
o say that video games are popular
is an understatement. Since the first
video games way, way back in the
1940s, gaming has become a multi-billion
dollar industry, and com-
panies have expanded
their focus to games that
appeal to all consumers
rather than just their tra-
ditional young adult male
demographic. As games
become more and more
lifelike through various
features like motion con-
trol, graphical enhancements and constantly
updating challenges, a question has arisen —
can video games be considered an art form?
The discussion has stretched beyond just
the gaming community, and has received a
fair amount of coverage in other media as
gamers and critics duke it out. Even Pulitzer
Prize-winning film critic Roger Ebert
weighed in earlier this year, riling up the
gaming community by stating that due to
their interactive and goal-oriented nature,
along with their general lack of depth, video
games could never be considered an art
form, and are much more akin to sports and
other games. After thousands of comments
from the on-line gaming community, he
entered into something of a dialogue on the
subject; however, his original statement
echoes the most prominent arguments
against the label.
It is true you experience a video game dif-
ferently than any other art form; after all,
exploring a pre-rendered, interactive world is
very different from listening to music or
watching a film. However, this argument is a
double-edged sword, and points just as
strongly toward the perception of video
games as an art form. Video games offer a
unique style of immersion impossible with
any other medium. As games become more
and more layered, there are ever-increasing
ways for the player to access the piece.
Games can be speed-run in an hour or rel-
ished for more than 40. A player gets to
decide the depth at which he or she will
access the game — search far and wide for
every unlockable item and quest, or take the
most linear path to the ending. The record
for a speed-run of Nintendo’s “The Legend
of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,” consistently
ranked among the greatest games in history,
stands at under an hour. I once spent at least

does deserve some points for effort and
technical ingenuity. Visually, “Monsters”
manages a lot with a little budget. The
monster effects, sometimes seen through a
hand-held video camera’s viewfinder, are
intriguing in an understated way. Edwards
also was wise to refrain from showing us
the aliens in all their grody glory until just
about the end of the film, instead teasing
us with glimpses of their tentacles and
chunks of their charred carcasses.
When a couple of aliens do encounter
each other for Kaulder and Sam and the
audience to see ... well, it’s meant to be
hugely symbolic, too. But you get the
sense that Gareth only knows how to toy
with lofty concepts rather than dig deeper
and offer real critical meaning.

‘Hornet’s Nest’hobbles ‘Dragon’hero
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Troubled savant Lisbeth Salander
isn’t up to much in “The Girl Who
Kicked the Hornet’s Nest,” the film
adaptation of the final chapter in
late author Stieg Larsson’s trilogy.
Lisbeth goes out with a whimper
after the way she outsmarted ene-
mies and went on bloody rampages
in “The Girl With the Dragon
Tattoo” and “The Girl Who Played
With Fire.”
Now she’s just the girl locked in a
hospital room, recovering from
wounds inflicted in Part 2. The girl
in police custody, awaiting trial for
the attempted murder of her vile
father. The girl in a stuffy court-
room, looking to regain her free-
dom.
Only in the closing minutes of
this long, snoozy finale does
Lisbeth (again played by Noomi
Rapace) get out in the world and
mix it up with one more bad guy,
but that climax is a dreary, passive
letdown compared to the wily sur-
vival skills she displayed in the ear-
lier movies.
Lisbeth stuck in a confined space
is like Superman trapped in a phone
booth: It’s a blueprint for a mighty
boring superhero movie.
“Hornet’s Nest” picks up where
“The Girl Who Played With Fire”
left off, Lisbeth gravely injured by a
bullet in her brain courtesy of her
creepy hulk of a half brother
(Mikael Spreitz).

childhood and tried to snuff with a

In a clunky, talky string of
episodes, director Daniel Alfredson
(who also made the second movie)
reveals the scope of a government
conspiracy responsible for the per-
secution and psychiatric incarcera-
tion to which Lisbeth was subjected
for years.

won’t be able to make much sense
of it all, and unless you’re already
invested in this saga from earlier
installments, you’ll probably have
little empathy for Lisbeth and her
band of allies, among them her jour-
nalist champion Mikael Blomkvist
(Michael Nyqvist), his magazine
colleague (Lena Endre) and an
attorney (Annika Hallin).
The villains are a pretty silly,
inept bunch, including a con-
temptible psychiatrist (Anders
Ahlbom Rosendahl) whose minis-
trations helped turn Lisbeth into the
emotional mess she is.
Lisbeth at her best, as she was in
the first movie, would have this
gang for breakfast. While “Hornet’s
Nest” is faithful to Larsson’s story,
Lisbeth just withers in captivity on
screen. Rapace brings the same
understated intensity to the charac-
ter, but intensity caged in cramped
rooms is about as exciting to watch
as it sounds.
The three Swedish-language films
have taken in more $200 million
combined worldwide. Now
Hollywood is having a go at the
franchise, with David Fincher
directing an English-language
remake of “The Girl With the
Dragon Tattoo,” starring Daniel
Craig and Rooney Mara.
The Fincher production is going
to be aiming for far more than $200
million in returns from the first
movie alone. Good or bad, the big-

GAMES
Continued from page 19
30 hours (not in one sitting, of course) on a play-through as
I sought every secret in the game’s complex world.
The belief that video games can’t carry a message lost
weight at least a decade ago. “Ocarina of Time,” released in
1998, questions the concept of time, requiring the player
character to move back and forth seven years at a time to
manipulate his destiny. Its sequel, “Legend of Zelda:
Majora’s Mask,” creates a repeating time loop that often
leads to world destruction; a central message of faith in good
deeds becomes clear as the player rushes to solve problems
in only three days. By the end of Team Ico’s “Shadow of the
Colossus,” the player begins to question his motives in seek-
ing out and destroying the behemoth-like Colossi; are they
the monsters, or is the player character the monster for
awakening and destroying the seemingly peaceful creatures?
Meanwhile, it’s getting easier and easier to submerge one-
self in the worlds of video games as consoles and handheld
systems alike allow for increasingly realistic and striking
graphics. Take a look at some of the screenshots from 2005’s
“Shadow of the Colossus.” Though a “generation” of con-
soles has passed since the game first came out, the game’s
majestic landscapes are still breathtaking in both scope and
realism.
Most importantly, though, it must be remembered that
some art forms and styles went through a similar phase of
consideration. Though movies were around as early as the
late 19th century, it took several decades for them to be con-
sidered an art form. The symphonies of Arnold Schoenberg
were once booed during their performance, and one of
Jackson Pollock’s exhibitions was once called “a joke in bad
taste.” The debate about video games will undoubtedly con-
tinue for many years; in the meantime, however, whether
they can be considered art is in the eye of the player.

World’s largest cruise liner has twin
By Matti Huuhtanen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HELSINKI — The second in a pair of
the largest cruise liners in the world —
an extravagant behemoth spanning near-
ly four football fields, with a 3-D movie
theater, an open-air central park and
room for 8,300 people — set sail Friday
for its new home port in Florida.
The Allure of the Seas, which cruised
out of the shipyard in Turku, in south-
western Finland where it was built, faces
its first big test Saturday, when it must
squeeze under a Danish bridge, just one
foot taller than the ship — even after its
telescopic smokestacks are lowered.
The gigantic vessel is the sister ship of
the Oasis of the Seas, which was also
delivered to Royal Caribbean Cruise
Lines last year with a price tag of about
$1.5 billion. The Allure of the Seas is in

who’s who of intimate crime in San Mateo
County.
On Oct. 6, 2002, Eddie Rapoza drove a
minivan off a Moss Beach cliff, killing his 34-
year-old pregnant wife, Raye Lynn, and 4-
year-old daughter. Rapoza survived the plunge
and was sentenced to life in prison without
parole.
On Oct. 28, 2003, Emerenciana Lecaroz, 47,
died of several stab wounds in her Belmont
home. Her boyfriend Johnny Sotto, the prime
suspect, was found dead in Golden Gate Park.
On March 25, 2005, Sharen Theresa
Sulpizio-May’s estranged husband attacked
with a pair of poultry shears in the hallway of
a San Mateo office building. Sulpizio-May,
40, died and Lawrence May was sentenced to
life in prison without parole.
On Aug. 18, 2005, Tony Richards, 53, killed
his 54-year-old wife, Nicole, and two daugh-
ters, 17-year-old Alexa and 13-year-old Tessa
because of mounting financial problems. He
placed their bodies in a backyard freezer
before typing a multi-page confession to
police and killing himself.

ronmental health departments, California
Public Utilities Commission, elected officials
and California Department of Insurance to
answer questions of the public. While questions
may remain, many residents commented on the
helpfulness of such meetings.
Maryann Jensen, whose house is yellow
tagged, explained the difficulty is the hypothet-
ical situations. Her family, for example, is rent-
ing another house and has not started restoring
the house. Knowing the tax laws around
rebuilding is helpful, but she said she’s simply
not there yet.
Many people will soon start to rebuild. Dean
Peterson, from the San Mateo County
Department of Environmental Health, said
debris is clear. Air and soil samples came back
at levels low enough that a 3-year-old could
walk around without concern, he said.
However, it is not yet open to the public. San
Bruno is looking at ways to fence in the plots
before reopening some of the roads, explained
Police Chief Neil Telford.
Rebuilding for many was contingent on a
promise from PG&E that Line 132 would not
be rebuilt. Geisha Williams, senior vice presi-
dent of energy delivery for PG&E, promised not

of first-degree murder for the second time and
will be sentenced in November.
Charene Mack, Tamika’s mother, didn’t ini-
tially want to speak at Friday’s memorial but
eventually agreed. Flanked by her daughter,
Nicole, Charene Mack asked the audience to
join them in lighting candles for Tamika, the
other deceased victims and every person
affected by abuse.
“May these flames burn brightly to illumi-
nate the problem of domestic violence,” she
said, adding it also reflects the warmth of their
love.
The newest entry on the victim list was
Parima Parineh who died April 14 in her
Woodside home. Her husband is accused of
shooting her and staging the scene to look like
a suicide but has not yet had a preliminary
hearing or trial.
Friday’s event, which in part marked
October as Domestic Violence Awareness
Month, began with a slew of resource tables
including victim assistance and legal help.
Among the tables in the plaza of the County
Government Center were near-life size purple
cutouts representing specific victims. A bright
yellow tag at the bottom offered their names
and times of death, offering vivid reminders of
once vivid lives.
Pastor Albert Macklyn of New Sweet Home
Church said the goal is not just for victims to
free themselves but for everybody to partici-
pate in breaking the cycle of violence.
“If we don’t stop it now,” he said. “Who is
going to stop it?”
to use or rebuild Line 132. It will remain intact
underground, however, since moving it could
affect the stability of the ground. Such lines are
traditionally removed only when requested, said
Kirk Johnson, vice president of gas engineering
and operations.
The process for relocating that line has yet to
begin, but is promised to be a public one.
Concerns arose earlier this week, however,
when the California Public Utilities
Commission voted to allow increased gas pres-
sure if needed on other lines. Many questions
focused on the safety of this decision.
“We don’t gamble with people’s safety,” said
Richard Clark, director of consumer protection
and safety division for the CPUC.
Clark continued that the decision is for mar-
ginal increases in emergency situations which
are not anticipated.
On a positive note, the Red Cross received
$800,000 in donations for the effort but has only
needed to use $100,000 thus far thanks to gen-
erous outpourings from other organizations,
said Harold Brooks, CEO of the Red Cross Bay
Area Chapter. The remaining funds will be used
to offer mental health services, the demand for
which Brooks anticipated will increase over the
holiday season.
Lastly, residents wondered how to express
well wishes to those still hospitalized from
burns as a result of the blast. Mayor Jim Ruane
suggested sending cards to St. Francis, where
the four individuals are hospitalized.

Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010
There are strong indications that future days will turn out to
be an extremely productive cycle for you. Ideas you couldn’t
develop and goals you previously were unable to achieve will
now be attainable. Be willing to give things a try,
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Continue to operate as dili-
gently as you can in the sensible manner you’ve been moving
and a major, ambitious objective can be realized. However, it
behooves you not to mention your intentions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Although it may have
been a while, don’t lower your expectations and hopes. What
you are visualizing is achievable and now within the realm of
possibility. Think win.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
THELMA FRASCHIERI
Case Number 120518
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Thelma Fraschieri aka
Themla June Fraschieri. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by: Deborah Ann
Duvauchelle in the Superior Court of Cal-
ifornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion of Probate requests that Deborah
Ann Duvauchelle be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: November 17, 2010
at 9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-

Since going up, and starting to work out the
kinks, Lucien has had neighbors come by with

really make the dragon pop.
Taking Halloween to a new level isn’t new for
the Luciens, or their neighborhood. In past
years, they have rigged spiders that can be
dropped on parents, poofed blasts of air into the
faces of unsuspecting visitors. This year’s drag-
on was a bit new. And a dragon isn’t typically
associated with Halloween, so Lucien began to
figure out how to make it fit. Those who stop by
the front yard dragon lair may find that not all
little trick or treaters make it out in one piece.

common question is what will happen to the big

adding a festive hat or antlers, it could become

intercepted parcel bombs being sent from Yemen to the United States.
Terror plot thwarted as U.S.-
bound explosives intercepted
By Eileen Sullivan and Matt Apuzzo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Authorities on three
continents thwarted multiple terrorist attacks
aimed at the United States from Yemen on
Friday, seizing two explosive packages
addressed to Chicago-area synagogues and
packed aboard cargo jets. The plot triggered
worldwide fears that al-Qaida was launching
a major new terror campaign.
President Barack Obama called the coor-
dinated attacks a “credible terrorist threat,”
and U.S. officials said they were increasing-
ly confident that al-Qaida’s Yemen branch,
the group responsible for the failed Detroit
airliner bombing last Christmas, was respon-
sible.
Parts of the plot might remain undetected,
Obama’s counterterror chief warned. “The
United States is not assuming that the
attacks were disrupted and is remaining vig-
ilant,” John Brennan said at the White
House.
One of the packages was found aboard a
cargo plane in Dubai, the other in England.
Preliminary tests indicated the packages
contained the powerful industrial explosive
PETN, the same chemical used in the
Christmas attack, U.S. officials said. The
tests had not been confirmed.
In the U.S., cargo planes were searched up
and down the Eastern Seaboard, and an
THE DAILY JOURNAL

Emirates Airlines passenger jet was escorted
down the coast to New York by American
fighter jets.
No explosives were found aboard those
planes, though the investigation was contin-
uing on at least two.
Obama’s sobering assessment, delivered
from the White House podium, unfolded
four days before national elections in which
discussion of terrorism has played almost no
role. The president went ahead with week-
end campaign appearances.
The terrorist efforts “underscore the
necessity of remaining vigilant against ter-
rorism,” the president said. While he said
both packages that contained explosives
originated in Yemen, he did not explicitly
assign blame to al-Qaida, which is active in
the Arab nation and long has made clear its
goal of launching new attacks on the United
States.
Authorities in Dubai intercepted one
explosive device. The second package was
aboard a plane searched in East Midlands,
north of London, and officials said it con-
tained a printer toner cartridge with wires
and powder. Brennan said the devices were
in packages about the size of a breadbox.
While Obama didn’t specifically accuse
Yemen’s al-Qaida branch, Brennan called it
the most active al-Qaida franchise and said
anyone associated with the group was a sub-
ject of concern.
