WASHINGTON The U.S.
unemployment rate dropped below
8 percent for the rst time since the
month President Barack Obama
took ofce, a surprising lift for both
the economy and his re-election
hopes in the nal weeks of the cam-
paign.
The rate, the most-watched meas-
ure of the countrys economic
health, tumbled
to 7.8 percent in
September from
8.1 percent in
August. It fell
because a gov-
ernment survey
of households
found that
873,000 more
people had jobs,
the biggest jump
since January 2003.
The governments other monthly
survey, of
e m p l o y e r s ,
showed they
added a modest
114,000 jobs in
September, but it
also showed job
growth in July
and August was
stronger than
rst thought.

Its been three years since the
annual Chocolate Fest in Belmont
has featured fudge, but the wait is
over.
This year, Linda Ferrari-Vercelli
of Glindas Fudge & More in San
Carlos will be joining in on the sug-
ary event hosted by the
Congregational Church of Belmont.
Celebrating the 30th anniversary,
the event started as a way to raise
funds for both church programs and
local nonprots a tradition that
remains today. While some of the 20
chocolate vendors are veterans who
have taken part from the start, oth-
ers, like Ferrari-Vercelli, are new
this year.
Ferrari-Vercelli has known about
the event for a number of years but
wasnt able to participate in previ-
ous years. This year, shell be able
to share some of her dark and milk
chocolate offerings with festival
goers.
Its more like a French style,
Ferrari-Vercelli said of her fudge.
The recipe took six months for
Ferrari-Vercelli to perfect. She real-

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Despite the lack of a redevelop-
ment agency or the associated fund-
ing to turn a downtown parking lot
and adjacent lots into a mix of hous-
ing and retail, the San Carlos City
Council is poised to approve the
environmental analysis in anticipa-
tion of the project eventually
becoming a reality.
The environmental impact review
process was well under way for the
so-called Wheeler Plaza project
when the dissolution of RDAs hap-
pened. Regardless, the city plowed
ahead and, on Monday night, the
City Council will consider certify-
ing the Environmental Impact
Report. Doing so means developer
Silverstone can hit the ground run-
ning rather than starting from
scratch if circumstances permit the
project to continue in the future
because the EIR will be valid for
several years.
In April, the Planning
Commission recommended the City
Council certify the document.
The proposed project concerns the
parking lot behind Laurel Street and
San Carlos Avenue, fronting Walnut
Street, and several city-owned
buildings along San Carlos Avenue
Council poised to
approve analysis
of plaza project
The Burlingame Planning
Commission has a chance to weigh
in on possibly lifting the limit on the
number of full-service establish-
ments in the downtown.
Since 1985, Burlingame has had a
restriction on the number of food
establishments around Burlingame
Avenue. In recent years, the council
has allowed for additional restau-
rants to open when there was
demand. Most recently, such a
request was made in June. At that
time, Councilman Michael
Brownrigg suggested the city con-
sider doing away with the limits.
Last month, the City Council gave
the go-ahead to study that idea.
The rst restriction on the number
of restaurants came in April 1985,
Burlingame will consider
allowing more restaurants

A Japanese diplomat accused of abusing his
wife several times pleaded not guilty Friday to
16 charges stemming from alleged incidents
in which he hit her over the head with a lap-
top, stabbed her hand with a miniature screw-
driver and threw her from a car in their San
Bruno parking lot.
Vice Consul Yoshiaki Nagaya, 33, will
stand trial Feb. 4.
A judge held him to answer on all but one of
his original charges after a preliminary hear-
ing spanning six days in which the his wife,
Yuka, detailed him hitting her and prosecutors
presented photographs she took of the
injuries.
Yuka Nagaya testied that the couple, who
had married in April 2010, often quarreled
over suspicions he was
having a relationship with
a fellow consul employee.
The alleged abuse began
when they lived in San
Francisco and continued
after they moved to San
Bruno. She said between
January 2011 and March
31, 2012, he also poured
milk over her head,
stomped on her chest sev-
eral times so she was unable to move for
hours, struck her so hard an upper molar later
fell from her mouth while eating and stabbed
the webbing of her hand with a miniature
screwdriver.
San Bruno police arrested Nagaya April 1
after he allegedly threw his wife from a car
in the parking lot of their San Bruno apart-
ment.
Nagayas case drew substantial attention
from the Japanese media, including crews that
traveled to San Mateo County for the prelimi-
nary hearing. The hearing itself generated its
own buzz, in part for the implication consul
employees tried intimidating Yuka Nagaya in
the courtroom and because her testimony
dragged out over several days over translation
issues, claims she didnt recall incidents and
painstakingly detailed cross-examination by
the defense.
Nagaya is free from custody on $350,000
cash bail and next returns to court Nov. 27 for
a pretrial conference.
Prosecutors say he faces up to 20 years in
prison if convicted. He remains employed
with the consulate.

husband reportedly ran in from the garage at
the sound of her screams and tried to intervene
but was punched himself.
Trapani reportedly chased his father with a
kitchen knife until he knocked it from his hand
then began beating the older man. Trapanis
mother ran to a neighbor for help and while
awaiting the Sheriffs Office to respond
returned home to nd her son beating his father.
The woman reported grabbing at Trapani who
hit her repeatedly before deputies arrived.

Residents asked to be on
alert after series of mailbox thefts
Several mailboxes in unincorporated San Mateo County near
Redwood City were forced open and their contents stolen
between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, accord-
ing to county emergency ofcials.
The series of thefts occurred between 4:30 p.m. Wednesday
and 8 a.m. Thursday from mailboxes located at Skyline
Boulevard and Bear Gulch Road West, emergency ofcials said.
The boxes were forced open with pry tools and locks were cut
with bolt cutters to get to delivered mail, according to ofcials.
Emergency ofcials said an inspector from the U.S. Postal
Inspection Service has been assigned to investigate the rash of
thefts and will be working with the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce.
Anyone with information about the mail thefts is asked to
email oyoch@smcgov.org.

breaking into mailboxes and to share a full description of sus-
pects to San Mateo County sheriffs dispatch at (650) 363-4911.
Mail theft is often associated with check, credit card and iden-
tify theft. Stealing U.S. mail is a federal offense punishable by a
lengthy term in federal prison, according to ofcials.

Cocaine fraud retrial of former
police lab tech set for Jan. 14
A retrial date of Jan. 14 was set in federal court Friday for a
former San Francisco police crime laboratory technician accused
of obtaining cocaine by fraud.
Deborah Madden, 62, of San Mateo, is accused of acquiring
cocaine from the laboratorys narcotics analysis unit in 2009 by
means of fraud, misrepresentation, deception, forgery or sub-
terfuge.
Maddens rst trial in the court of U.S. District Judge Susan
Illston in San Francisco ended Wednesday with a hung jury.
Jurors said after being dismissed that they were split at various
times during the deliberations by a 10-2 or 9-3 vote in favor of
conviction.
During the rst trial, defense attorney Paul DeMeester con-
ceded that Madden took cocaine, but argued there was no proof
of deception and said she just took whats in front of her when
she works.
The new date was set by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston of
San Francisco at a status conference Friday.
The defense attorney said jury selection is scheduled for Jan.
14 and opening statements and witness testimony will begin on
Jan. 22, after the Martin Luther King holiday.

difcult because of code compliance and uncertain availabil-
ity times but city staff suggests professionally cleaning the
windows and hanging curtains to screen the vacant stores
from view followed by displays of city information and holi-
day decorations.

Alternative sites for Peninsula High
School and the San Mateo Union High
School District ofce will no longer be
studied at a special meeting Thursday,
Oct. 18.
On Friday, the district sent an email
that said the meeting was postponed
until a yet-to-be-determined date in
early 2013.
The district has been for a new home
for Peninsula High School a continu-
ation school for students at risk of not
graduating which is currently housed
at aging facilities on the campus of the
former Crestmoor High School in San
Bruno. In addition, it has been consider-
ing moving the District Ofce.
Finding a new home for Peninsula has
been an ongoing conversation.
During a January study session about
Measure O, a $186 million bond meas-
ure passed in November 2010, the board
agreed a new facility for the continua-
tion school should be the next priority
for the money. Trustees told staff to
research all options placing the
school on land at Hillsdale or San Mateo
high schools, purchasing new land or
remodeling on the Crestmoor site in San
Bruno where the school is currently
located. Since then, Superintendent
Scott Laurence held meetings with local
groups and elected ofcials explaining
the pros and cons of the various options
before the board took up the topic.

Two people blinded in Washington,
D.C., in 2005. Three dead in Virginia in
2006 and three more in Oregon the fol-
lowing year. Twenty-one dead polo hors-
es in Florida in 2009. Earlier this year, 33
people in seven states with fungal eye
infections.
And now, at least ve people dead and
35 sickened with fungal meningitis that
has been linked to steroid shots for back
pain. All these disasters involved medi-
cines that had been custom-mixed at what
are called compounding pharmacies
laboratories that supply hospitals, clinics
and doctors to a much wider degree in the
U.S. than many people realize.
These pharmacies mix solutions,
creams and other medicines used to treat
everything from menopause symptoms
and back pain to vision loss and cancer.
Unlike manufactured drugs, these prod-
ucts are not subject to approval by the
Food and Drug Administration. And
some have turned out to be dangerously
contaminated.

n Friday, students at the Middle
College of San Mateo used what
they are learning in a media literacy
unit in Michael Clardys government class to
promote a public screening of the PBS docu-
mentary, Half the Sky from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Monday, Oct. 8
Students were
selected by the Half
the Sky organization
to serve as Campus
Ambassadors at
CSM and as such
were given rights for
screening a film
about the oppression
of women around the globe. English teacher
Greg Lance assigned the book Half the Sky
for a summer reading assignment and then
integrated aspects of that book with his teach-
ing of Kahled Hosseinis novel A Thousand
Splendid Suns, which deals with the oppres-
sion of women in Afghanistan and the power
of education to change womens lives.
The students in their classes were inspired to
take action after reading these books, and
Clardy realized that it was the perfect opportu-
nity for the students to put what they were
learning about media inuence to real use.
Students have created a Facebook page and
yers for the event in addition to the face-to-
face aspect of the campaign which took place
in the busy College Center Friday.
Admission to the screening of Half the
Sky is free, but the students will be accepting
donations for Afghan Friends Network, a
Bay Area nonprot that provides education for
girls in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. For

A San Carlos man accused of
fondling and sending nude photos to
a friends 10-year-old daughter
whom he tutored was sentenced
Friday to three years in prison and
ordered to register as a sex offender
for life.
Yung Chi Chu, 48, asked for pro-
bation and counseling instead of
prison but Judge Craig Parsons
handed down prison with credit for
241 days.
The sentence is a good resolu-
tion, said
D i s t r i c t
Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Chu was orig-
inally charged
with more than a
dozen charges of
lewd acts and
faced the possi-
bility of up to 30
years in prison if convicted by a
jury.
Authorities began investigating
Chu, who formerly worked as an
information technology technician
for the Menlo Park City Elementary
School District, last fall after the
girls parents grew concerned she
was receiving hundreds of cellphone
calls and text messages from Chu,
often between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m.
Prosecutors say Chu fondled the
girl on multiple occasions and sent
her photos of naked men. He
allegedly also asked the girl to send
him nude photos of herself but she
refused.
He has been free from custody on
$250,000 cash bail.

WASHINGTON A new esti-
mate puts the decit for the just-
completed 2012 budget year at $1.1
trillion, the fourth straight year of
trillion dollar decits on President
Barack Obamas watch.
The result was a slight, $207 bil-
lion improvement from the 2011
decit of $1.3 trillion.
The bleak figures from the
Congressional Budget Ofce, while
expected, add fodder for the heated
presidential campaign, in which
Obamas handling of the economy
and the budget is a main topic.
Fridays release came as the govern-
ment announced that the unemploy-
ment rate dropped to 7.8 percent last
month, matching the rate when
Obama took ofce.
President Obama once promised
to cut the decit in half by the end of
his rst term, but ... hes broken that
promise, and has presided over his
fourth straight trillion-dollar budget
decit, said GOP vice presidential
nominee Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
The Presidents reckless spending
habits have burdened the American
people with another $5.4 trillion in
debt while failing to bring a real
recovery for the 23 million
Americans struggling for work or
the 15 percent of Americans living
in poverty.
The 2012 decit was 7 percent of
the size of the economy, an unsus-
tainably high level. The gure is
lower than the rst three years of
Obamas presidency, but higher than
any other year since 1947.
The administration will release
the ofcial decit numbers around
mid-October, but they should line
up closely with the CBO estimate,
which showed that the government
borrowed 31 cents for every dollar it
spent.
The CBO estimate predicts a
modest 3 percent increase over 2011
in both income tax and payroll tax
receipts, reecting the sluggish eco-
nomic recovery. Corporate income
tax receipts are way up almost 34
percent but most of that is a
result of tax rules governing write-
offs of business equipment.
Spending fell across a broad array
of categories, the CBO said, but not
Social Security and Medicare.
Social Security payments rose by 6
percent, while Medicare grew by 3
percent, slightly less than in prior
years.
CBO tallies 2012 deficit at $1.1T

LOS ANGELES California
gas prices continued surging Friday,
adding another 17 cents per gallon
on average, and the increases are
expected to continue for at least
several more days, ensuring long
lines and short tempers at pumps
around the state.
A week of soaring costs has led
some stations to close and others
to charge record prices in some
places $5 or more as
California leapfrogged Hawaii as
the state with the most expensive
fuel.
The average price for a gallon of
regular unleaded across California
was nearly $4.49 on Friday, 32
cents more than a week ago and the
highest statewide average in the
nation, according to AAAs Daily
Fuel Gauge report.
The national average is about
$3.79 a gallon, the highest ever for
this time of year. However, gas
prices in many other states have
started decreasing, which is typical
for October.
Rebecca Olson, 43, of Irvine,
drove to a Costco in Tustin hoping
to nd lower prices than the $4.65
in her neighborhood, but the pumps
were closed.
The part-time preschool teacher
said her husband already spends
$500 a month on gas, in part
because he commutes nearly 100
miles a day to a new sales job after
being unemployed for a year.
Short supplies keeps
gas prices on the rise
REUTERS
California gas prices rose 17 cents a gallon overnight due to supply
disruptions at some reneries and seasonally low inventories, bringing
the one-week increase in the Golden State to nearly 36 cents.

ketball.
Vistica was born and raised in San Mateo.
He worked in construction and landscaping,
and traveled widely before attending the
University of California at Berkeley, study-
ing architecture. As an architect, he had
extensive experience in development and
management. As a planning commissioner,
he dedicated many hours in service to the
city of Burlingame.
Vistica leaves behind his wife Lisa
Happich, and daughters Madeleine and
Camille who were by his side when he died.
He is predeceased by his mother Barbara
Vistica. He also leaves behind his father
Donald Vistica Sr.; brothers Donald Vistica
Jr., Gregory L. Vistica; sister Mary V.
Sanford; and Stephen Howell, a first cousin
and brother at heart, as well as numerous
beloved nieces, nephews, grand nieces and
grand nephews.

Chris enjoyed many passions and took
much pleasure in nature hikes, his book club,
home projects, cooking (and eating!), classi-
cal music, travel, weekends in San Francisco
and lots of celebrations punctuated by gener-
ous sips of pinot noir.
He will be remembered for his sense of
humor, his insatiable quest for spiritual

Letters to the editor
Restore education funding
Editor,
Regarding your Oct. 3 editorial, No on
Proposition 38: The PTA supports
Proposition 38 because our members tell us
that restoring education funding is their top
priority.
Proposition 38 sends an average of $10 bil-
lion a year in new funding directly to every
local K-12 school and prohibits Sacramento
politicians from touching the money.
San Mateo-Foster City Schools will receive
$9,249,105 in 2013-2014 to improve local
public schools and restore programs in art,
music, PE, science, technology, engineering,
and math: visit the Benets Calculator at
http://www.prop38forlocalschools.org/restore
to see how much revenue specic San Mateo
County schools will receive.
Proposition 38 requires community input at
each school site; its accountability provisions
require school site budgets that publicly
explain how funds are spent. It reduces our
states education debt to help close the decit
and protect our schools from further budget
cuts.
This initiative pays for these investments in
our children through a sliding scale income
tax increase based on taxpayers ability to
pay about 40 percent of lers would not
see a tax increase.
Initiative language specically prohibits
legislators from reducing other sources of
education funding.
As to the looming threat of trigger cuts
to education, state Superintendent Tom
Torlakson recently said he believes the
Legislature and school districts would revisit
their trigger cut arrangements if Proposition
38 prevails.
We urgently need to make a real, transfor-
mative investment in the education of chil-
dren now. Voting Yes on Proposition 38
will invest directly in every child and every
local school site to improve educational out-
comes.

Welcome Dwight Schwab
Editor,
What a hoot. Your recent guest perspective
writer, Dwight Schwab, was a real knee-slap-
per (Journalisms Darkest Hour in the Sept.
29 edition of the Daily Journal). He follows
the well-established right wing formula that
requires that their pushers make such outra-
geous accusations against non-right wingers
with such passion and assertiveness that
indeed their assertions must be true. After all,
there it is, in black and white.
Schwab cleverly begins his commentary by
asserting that the mainstream news media is
not only biased in Obamas favor, but is
actively working on his behalf. There you
are. It must be true, because its printed in
black and white.
To support his fantasy, he claims that the
media reported that Romney asserted that 47
percent of the American people exist on the
publics largesse and see themselves as vic-
tims of the system.
Whoops, no journalist dug up that juicy
tidbit. The revelation regarding Romneys
sincere feelings about nearly half of his fel-
low citizens were captured, thanks to todays
recording technology, instead, by a member
of his own audience, who then felt obliged to
share the recording with a wider audience.
So much for Schwabs fantasy about the
mainstream media working for the current
president.
Theres so much more to be discussed
about Schwabs gooness, but why go on? I
welcomed his perspective, just as I enjoy lis-
tening to the likes of Limbaugh, Beck,
Hannity and even Savage, from time to time
and in very small doses.
Please continue to invite right-wing crazies
to demonstrate their twisted thinking with
our community, but not too often.

The truth from Romney
Editor,
Where did you get this guest perspective
writer, Dwight L. Schwab? Is he from the
Romney Presidential Campaign? It is a joke
that he is so upset that good old boy Mitt was
caught saying what he really believes. Mr.
Schwab talks about misspoken statements by
Romney as if they were a misrepresentation
of the facts. This is typical of the Republican
Party. They really dont want the general
public to know what and who they really
stand for. When one of them like Romney
really tells the truth about not representing
47 percent of the public, the rest of the gang
runs for cover. In a lame defense they use
such words as misspoke, out of context,
media bias, liberal press and sneak attack
journalism. While some reporters may be lib-
eral, Schwab who claims to in the business of
journalism, doesnt seem to notice that most
newspapers are owned by large corporations.
Was it really such a big secret that billionaire
Mitt Romney doesnt feel the pain of the
working class? His Bain Corporation did not
outsource his job, did it? By the way, does
this Mr. Schwab have any relatives on Wall
Street? That last name does sound familiar.

Keep up the good work
Editor,
How great to nd a truly professional jour-
nalist who calls it like he sees it.
I am referring to the guest perspective,
Journalisms darkest hour, by Dwight L.
Schwab in the Sept. 29 edition of the Daily
Journal, a factual piece instead of the usual
mainstream bias.
The frightening part is that the masses
often dont think for themselves and follow
the stuff hitting the wall.
I am also positively impressed with the San
Mateo Daily Journal for running the guest
perspective.
Keep up the good work, it has lifted my
spirits.

Netanyahus red line

prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has
called for a red line against Iran development
of atomic weapons because he hopes to avoid
military action. Netanyahu has explained
using, as an example, President Kennedy set-
ting a red line for the USSR in the Cuban
Missile Crisis, which averted a war. Allan
Dershowitz said what was necessary, that the
United States is prepared to take decisive
military action to ensure Iran does not have
atomic weapons. Netanyahu cannot risk Iran
having an atomic weapon, because Iran has
repeatedly threatened to destroy Israel. On
Sept. 25, Irans president, Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad said to the U.N. that Israel
should be eliminated. It is unacceptable for
Iran to have atomic weapons, because it has
shown its disregard for human life by spon-
soring suicide bombers, other terrorists and
human shields.

Jerry Hill
Editor,
Jerry and I have been friends for several
years and, although we may not share totally
similar views, I can state without any reser-
vation that he truly believes in what he says,
not for the purpose of being elected (as many
do) but because his rst and foremost con-
cern is for the people that he represents. Jerry
is a straight shooter and passionate about his
responsibilities, and has been the only legis-
lator that has taken the time to visit and
attend the functions of the Columbia Lodge,
a branch of the Sons of Italy in America (as
he has other organizations).
Jerry is a breath of fresh air that presents
bills that make sense and who is clearly
needed in Sacramento, and to not return him
as a state senator in November would be
extremely detrimental not only to the district
he would represent, but to the people of
California. The state Capitol is overowing
with politicians who are in their positions
primarily for themselves Jerry Hill is not
one of them.

Game, set, match
for Mitt Romney
By Dwight L. Schwab
T
he term cleaned his clock took on a
whole new meaning at Wednesday
nights rst presi-
dential debate.
An energized and text-
book perfect Mitt Romney
dominated a lethargic and
tired-looking Barack
Obama. To sum up the for-
mer governors perform-
ance, he outhustled, out-
facted, outenergized and
outinformed the incum-
bent. The lopsidedness of the verbal brawl was
not lost on liberal ideologues such as Bill Maher
and Chris Matthews who were quick to raise the
white ag in round one of three televised
debates this month.
It was as if Romneys insomnia-inducing con-
vention speech had never happened. The former
governor commanded the stage focusing on
economic issues and an easy-to-understand phi-
losophy of limited government. He triumphant-
ly mesmerized an estimated 60 million people
as a pro-growth tax reformer. A president who
would lower the rate and broaden the base in a
revenue-neutral fashion.
Could it be he would actually create jobs and
spur the economy? The nationwide sales pres-
entation was a masterpiece from start to his
effective close.
For many considering Romney for the rst
time, just maybe his ideas for tax reform could
be a solution for which the country is looking.
At intervals throughout the debate, Romney
respectfully corrected the president on a number
of issues including oil tax breaks, health care
issues, job training programs in the federal gov-
ernment and even how Obamacare works.
Romneys knowledge base was impressively
broad and deep to many, much broader and
deeper than President Obama ever showed with
his tried responses that sounded more like
retread stump speeches.
Clearly the president missed his closest ally,
the ever-present teleprompter.
Obama appeared petulant. He knew he was
outclassed and outhustled, not in command of
the facts. Romneys demeanor was refreshingly
calm, yet insistent. You believed he was for a
truly limited government and strong private sec-
tor. He wanted people to understand his passion
and he did so convincingly.
The president provided no new policies he
would enact if re-elected to a second term. All
Obama provided was a at, time-worn rendition
of what he opposes, which is everything
Romney supports. Viewers were left with noth-
ing in which he actually believes.
Instead, he provided his not-so-hidden agen-
da. Spend more on government programs, keep
pouring money into the losing ventures of green
energy and raise taxes to do so. For almost
every question Romney raised, President
Obama had a government solution.
Romney countered Obamas free spending
plans with a private-sector solution that clearly
left the president devastated and looking for the
exit. What began as a debate ended in a one-
sided lecture.
If the public hadnt seen it before last night,
Romney exuded the image of a president. He
kept his composure and presented himself as a
leader in control. His knowledge was sharp and
uid his principles rock solid.
His willingness to provide bipartisan solu-
tions on tax reform and a rewritten Obamacare
law were spot on. Even more remarkably,
Romney would be happy to take suggestions
from the other side of the aisle. You believed
him.
Romney left no doubt he is the leader of the
Republican Party. Wednesdays performance
will undoubtedly attract scores of independent
voters. Can Romney Democrats be far
behind?

By Joshua Freed
A big drop in the unemployment rate
wasnt enough for investors Friday.
Stocks posted gains early in the day but
faded to a mixed close.
The Labor Department said the unem-
ployment rate had declined to 7.8 per-
cent, its rst dip below 8 percent in near-
ly four years. The decline from 8.1 per-
cent the month before was bigger than
economists had expected.
Stocks rose on that news, but the gains
didnt last. The Dow Jones industrial
average edged up 34.79 points to close at
13,610.15, after rising 86 points earlier
in the day. The Standard & Poors 500
index fell 0.47 points to 1,460.93, and
the Nasdaq dropped 13.27 points to
3,136.19.
U.S. employers added 114,000 jobs
last month. That was in line with what
economists were expecting, but the gov-
ernment also revised its estimates higher
for job growth in July and August.
The drop to 7.8 percent in the unem-
ployment rate really is not a big game-
changer, said Peter Cardillo, chief mar-
ket economist at Rockwell Global
Capital. Yes, more people were hired,
but job creation did come in in line with
expectations.
The jobs report today was just a vali-
dation that things are improving and that
people are feeling good, said Marty
Leclerc, chief investment officer of
Barrack Yard Advisors. So as investors,
of course, thats when were most appre-
hensive.
Consumer discretionary stocks rose,
led by Home Depot and Lowes, both up
more than 2 percent. Industrial stocks
also rose. Technology and energy stocks
had broad declines.
Despite the mixed day, the Dow man-
aged to reach a milestone: its highest
close since December 2007. The S&P is
close, but not quite back to, its
December 2007 high. The Dow and S&P
had their rst positive weeks after two
weeks of losses. The Dow rose 1.3 per-
cent for the week, the S&P 1.4 percent.
U.S. stocks making noteworthy moves
included:
Apple fell $14.21, or 2.1 percent, to
$652.59, causing the Nasdaq to perform
worse than other indexes.
Zynga plunged 33 cents, or 11.9 per-
cent, to $2.48 after the online game
maker said that it expects a third-quarter
loss due to weak demand and a charge
related to an acquisition.

NEW YORK Troubled Zyngas
stock is trading near its lowest level ever
Friday after the online game maker
behind FarmVille forecast a third
quarter loss amid weak demand for its
Web-based games. Its also taking a
hefty charge related to its March acqui-
sition of mobile game company
OMGPop.
Zynga Inc., also known for Words
With Friends and Maa Wars, said
late Thursday that it expects to post a
loss for the third quarter, largely because
of the $85 million to $95 million charge
on the OMGPop purchase. It bought the
company behind Draw Something for
$183 million.
Baird analyst Colin Sebastian said
Zyngas transition from Web-based
Facebook games to mobile is more
painful than expected. He downgraded
the company to Neutral from
Outperform and cut his target price to
$3 from $6.
Despite our mis-timed upgrade earli-
er in the summer, it is clear that Zynga
will not be able to counterbalance social
gaming (challenges) this year with its
success in mobile and its broader net-
work buildout, the analyst wrote in a
note to investors.Zynga is trying to
reduce its dependence on Facebook,
where the bulk of its games are played,
by focusing on mobile games and
Zynga.com, its online game network.
Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter also
cut his target price, to $4 from $7, but
kept an Outperform rating on Zynga.
He thinks the stock has a signicant
potential to trade higher, which is why
he decided not to downgrade it follow-
ing the disappointing outlook.
Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia,
whos been one of the most bearish ana-
lysts on Zynga and does not have a target
price, said he expects signicant layoffs
in the coming months at the company.
He called the size of the companys 2012
guidance reduction surprising.
Zynga now expects 2012 bookings of
nearly $1.09 billion to $1.1 billion,
down from earlier expectations of
between $1.15 billion to $1.23 billion.
Bookings reect in-game purchases of
virtual goods in the quarter they occur.
A representative for Zynga could not
immediately be reached to comment
Friday.
Zyngas stock fell 48 cents, or 17.1
percent at $2.33 in afternoon trading. It
hit an all-time low of $2.21 earlier in the
session. The San Francisco company
went public Dec. 16. Its stock had priced
at $10 the night before, but Zynga was
one of the few social media companies
to close lower on its rst trading day, at
$9.50.

FREMONT, Ind. Apples new maps
app came out the day I started a 2,243-
mile road trip through four states. As com-
plaints about it trickled in and Apples
CEO apologized, I was left wondering
whether people were using the same app I
was.
Although its not awless or as good as
Googles maps app on Android phones,
Apples new offering on the iPhone got
me where I needed to go for the most
part. I know many people will disagree
with me, but I even nd it an improvement
over the old app on iPhones because I now
get voice navigation and automatic re-
routing.
Ive used Googles Android app since it
was released three years ago. I dont own
a car, but I travel a lot. The app has proven
crucial in getting me to unfamiliar territo-
ries in New England and various Southern
states from Arizona to South Carolina.
Google brought to the phone the spo-
ken-aloud, turn-by-turn directions once
limited to GPS navigational devices from
Garmin, TomTom and others.
Make a wrong turn, and the app auto-
matically updates with new directions.
Best of all, its always been free. Until last
month, Google was also behind the free,
main maps app on iPhones.
But that one didnt have voice navi-
gation or automatic re-routing.
Driving with it meant swiping through
pages of on-screen directions. A
friend missed a train in May as we
overlooked a step and went the wrong
way on a highway, ending up back
where we came from. A drive from
Ann Arbor to Lansing, Mich., took 17
steps, each with its own page. After
Step 9, I had to pull into a rest stop to
memorize subsequent steps and avoid
an accident.
Apple wanted voice directions, too, and
gured the only way to get it was to build
its own maps app and bump Google from
its perch as the default offering.
Apples maps app lets you follow the voice
SAN JOSE Tessera Technologies
Inc., which licenses miniaturization
technology for electronic devices, says
that it will give its CEO options to buy
550,000 shares of its stock if the com-
pany successfully spins off one of its
business segments.
The San Jose, Calif.-based compa-
nys board amended its compensation
agreement with Robert Young so that
he would be eligible for the immediate
vesting of 550,000 stock options if the
company completes a spin-off of a
business on or before March 31, 2015.
The options would have an exercise
price equal to Tesseras Tuesday clos-
ing stock price of $13.71.
The 2012 compensation arrange-
ment provides an additional financial
incentive for Bob to pursue a key
strategic alternative, and reflects the
Boards continuing efforts to closely
align executive compensation with the
best interests of stockholders, board
Chairman Robert Boehlke said in a
statement.
Tessera shares rose 53 cents, or 3.9
percent, to $14.17 in afternoon trading.
They are up 11 percent from a 52-week
low of $12.77 on June 1. They rose as
high as $20.52 in early February.

SAN FRANCISCO An unusual conver-
gence of sporting and entertainment events in
San Francisco this weekend promises to bring
up to a million extra people into the densely pop-
ulated bayside city.
The inux could eclipse the citys own popu-
lation of about 800,000.
The weekend will include the opening games
of the San Francisco Giants division playoffs, a
San Francisco 49ers game, the annual Fleet
Week celebration featuring the Blue Angels and
the Americas Cup World Series yachting races.
Add to that mix a highly popular bluegrass
festival in Golden Gate Park and street festivals
in North Beach and elsewhere and it has the
makings for jam-packed streets and transit chal-
lenges, even as the citys economy gets a boost.
James Go, 25, who works in San Francisco
but lives in nearby Daly City, said he usually
comes into San Francisco on weekends, but was
planning to stay away this weekend.
The population is going to double. Its not
worth it, he said, as he took a break on Friday
from work at a downtown ofce building.
City ofcials say they are prepared for the
crowds. The city has activated its emergency
operations center and the police department has
limited time off and reassigned ofcers from
administrative and investigative assignments to
the street.

Two things can be equally true. The Sacred
Heart Prep football ran roughshod through the
non-league portion of its schedule against
inferior opponents.
But there is no doubt the Gators have the
makings of a championship football team. Not
after they shut down a potent Burlingame
squad 10-0 in the Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division opener for both squads Friday
afternoon in Atherton.
This is the best defense weve had here in
my 10 years, said SHP coach Peter Lavorato.
They just want to get to the football.
[Opponents] have to earn [their] way down the
eld.
The Burlingame defense was just as stingy,
holding a Gators offense that had been averag-
ing 42 points to just a rst-quarter touchdown
and a fourth-quarter eld goal.
The Panthers offense, however, could not
nd a rhythm.
We had opportunities to move the ball,
said Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos.
And then wed shoot ourselves in the foot.
Burlingame (0-1 Bay, 2-3 overall) were
playing from behind almost the entire game.
SHP (1-0, 5-0) received the opening kickoff
and Ryan Gaertner returned it 51 yards to the
Burlingame 44. The Gators promptly marched
to the Panthers 14. On second down, Kevin
Donahue dropped back to pass and looked to
be sacked before he escaped and ran 14 yards
for the games only touchdown with 9:14 to
play in the rst quarter. Burlingame took the
ensuing kickoff and went on a long, time-con-
suming drive, only to come up empty when
quarterback Kevin Navas was sacked by
Patrick Finnegan on fourth down, one of six
Gator sacks on the day.
After giving up that initial touchdown, the
Burlingame defense buckled down, coming up
with a goal-line stand on SHPs next posses-
sion.

ARLINGTON, Texas Buck Showalter
and the Baltimore Orioles will get another
chance to overtake the New York Yankees.
The surprising Os have already beaten
some big odds, getting past the two-time
defending AL champion Texas Rangers and
their Japanese ace, Yu Darvish, in the win-or-
go-home wild-card playoff.
Joe Saunders pitched effectively into the
sixth inning at a place where he had never
won, Adam Jones delivered the tiebreaking
sacrice y and the Orioles, in the playoffs
for the rst time in 15 years, eliminated the
Rangers 5-1 Friday night.
With our team its just a bunch of guys that
raised the bar and wouldnt give in and still
havent. Now they get a chance to win to roll
the dice, and theres a lot of good card players
in there, said Showalter, their manager.
The Orioles advanced to play the East
champion Yankees, the ALs top seed the
teams split 18 games this season. The best-of-
ve division series starts Sunday at Camden
Yards.
The upstart Orioles spent the whole second
half chasing New York, never passing them
and falling just short in a neck-and-neck race
for the division title.
Turns out, the Yankees havent brushed off
these Birds just yet.
Real proud of everybody. Tacking on runs
were big, knew they were going to run at
you, Showalter said. But just a real proud
moment for us.
Our guys approached it and we talked
about it being sudden life instead of sudden
death, and we played that way. Youve got to

ATLANTA Talk about a wild card.
This one was just plain wild.
Chipper Jones played his nal game. The
Atlanta fans turned Turner Field into a trash
heap after a disputed ineld y. And the St.
Louis Cardinals did what they always seem to
do in October.
Celebrated another postseason triumph.
Matt Holliday homered and the Cardinals ral-
lied from an early decit, taking advantage of
three Atlanta throwing errors the most crucial
of them by the retiring Jones to beat the
Braves 6-3 in a winner-take-all wild-card play-
off Friday.
In the eighth inning, there was more crazy
throwing, this time by an irate crowd that lit-
tered the eld to protest an umpiring decision
that went against the Braves. The Cardinals ed
for cover, the Braves protested and the game
was halted for 19 minutes while workers cleared
up all the beer cups, popcorn holders and other
debris.
St. Louis manager Mike Matheny was asked
if hed ever seen anything like it.
Not in the United States, he said.
Major League Baseball executive Joe Torre
said the protest was denied. St. Louis advanced
to face Washington in the best-of-ve division
round, beginning Sunday at Busch Stadium.

Cards win over Braves

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division
fans: If Friday nights opener between South
San Francisco and Sequoia High School is a
barometer of things to come, then boy, are you
in for a treat.
In one of the wildest games youll ever
experience, South City used two gigantic
plays in the last 5:32 of the game to shock the
Cherokees and come away with a 36-28 win.
First, after Sequoias Mike Taylor broke a
21-point tie with his fourth rushing touchdown
of the game, South Citys Orlando Garcia took
the ensuing kickoff 91 yards to the house to
make it a 28-27 game. A penalty on Sequoia
during that play gave South City the ball on
the 1 1/2 yard line and Moro chose to go for
the two-point conversion gambling a bit on
his defense and his running game.
The move paid off, with Anthony Shkuratov
plowing his way in for a 29-28 South City lead
with 5:18 left in the game.
It was crazy, Moro said of the nish.
That kickoff return was amazing. We havent
had one of those in years. I thought [going for
2] could really change the complexion of the
game. I would say it took a second of thought
but I had a good feeling about it.
But the craziness only began there.
Following a stalled Sequoia drive, South
City added to their lead on a 48-yard touch-
down by Keven Cuhna with 1:24 left in the
game. With the crowd going nuts behind him,

SAN FRANCISCO Minus his
old signature toothpick,
Cincinnatis Dusty Baker leaned
against the batting cage intently
watching his players just as he did
for a decade managing the Giants.
Baker is back in the Bay Area for
the playoffs, 10 years after he came
so close to winning a World Series
with San Francisco.
Well, I really dont have much
choice, Baker said when asked if
its a strange coincidence. I feel
comfortable here. I think my team
likes coming here. This is a good
town.
Sometimes Baker still feels the
sting of that World Series near-
miss, even now, two managerial
stops removed from his first career
gig as a skipper in the place he has
long called home.
On Saturday, he figures to be
cheered by 40,000-plus fans at
AT&T Park who still love him
some of em, he quipped
when the NL Central champion
Reds open their best-of-five divi-
sion series against the Giants, who
like Cincinnati clinched early and
had plenty of time to get everything
situated and lined up for the post-
season.
Ill be honest, I like this clinch-
ing early thing, said Giants man-
ager Bruce Bochy, whose 2010
World Series championship team
clinched in Game 162.
These days, the 63-year-old
Baker is conserving energy after a
recent 11-game absence forced by
a mini-stroke and irregular heart-
beat. He just rejoined the Reds on
Monday in St. Louis. Baker was
away for the NL Central clincher,
and Homer Baileys no-hitter at
Pittsburgh last Friday night.
Hes ready to go now with no
plans to change a thing about the
way he operates during a game on
the playoff stage.
Im feeling like a grateful man,
Baker said from his spot at the cage
on a sunny fall afternoon in the
Giants waterfront ballpark.
Cincinnatis 19-game winner
Johnny Cueto takes the ball in
Game 1 on Saturday night.
Matt Cain (16-5) pitches the
opener for the Giants with plenty
of postseason cred to fall back on:
The three-time All-Star didnt sur-
render an earned run during his
teams improbable title run two
years ago. He went 2-0 in three
starts and 21 1-3 innings, struck out
13 and walked seven.
Cain won his final six regular-
season decisions and struck out
193 batters in 219 1-3 innings this
season. The right-hander hasnt
lost in 10 starts since Aug. 6 at St.
Louis.
He earned himself a new $127.5
million, six-year contract before
the season as hed so hoped, then
backed that up by tossing the first
perfect game in franchise history
June 13 against the Houston
Astros.
This group has been together
since the beginning and we all had
the thought that this is where we
wanted to be in spring training,
Cain said.
The Barry Bonds-led Giants fell
six outs short of a World Series title
in Game 6 against the wild-card
Angels, then lost Game 7. And
Baker was gone shortly thereafter,
off to the Windy City for the daunt-
ing challenge of managing the
Chicago Cubs.
Nobody will forget that terrify-
ing moment when Bakers then-3
1/2-year-old son, Darren, wandered
into a play at the plate and almost
got run over in Game 5 at AT&T
Park. That led to the Darren
Baker bat-boy rule as it became
known no toddlers working as
bat boys, and a new age require-
ment of 14.
West and Central clash in NLDS showdown
DETROIT One team has the
reigning MVP and another player
who just won the Triple Crown.
The Oakland Athletics will try to
counter all that by sending who
else? a rookie to the mound.
Weve been the David all year,
As right-hander Jarrod Parker said.
I think obviously its a role and an
image that weve kind of taken on
and been able to embrace and its
fun.
Parker will start against Detroit
ace Justin Verlander in Game 1 of
the division series Saturday night.
The AL Central-champion Tigers
are making their second straight
playoff appearance, but Oakland
emerged as one of the games
biggest surprises by winning the AL
West.
Now the As have to contend with
Triple Crown winner Miguel
Cabrera the Detroit third base-
man who might win the American
League MVP after Verlander took
the award last year.
We know weve got a great ball-
club. We know what we have in the
clubhouse, Cabrera said. We
know were going to face a very hot
team like Oakland. They play unbe-
lievable baseball right now.
Cabrera hit .330 with 44 home
runs and 139 RBIs to become the
first Triple Crown winner since
1967. But he wasnt the only big
story in the closing days of the reg-
ular season. The As rallied to win
the AL West, edging Texas by one
game when they beat the Rangers
on the nal day.
Not bad for a team that had the
lowest opening day payroll in the
majors. Oakland got 56 homers and
54 wins from a cast of rookies that
included Parker (13-8) and outeld-
er Yoenis Cespedes. Rookie left-
hander Tommy Milone, who
matched Parker with 13 wins, is
slated to start Game 2.
Obviously with Verlander going
Game 1, youve got to be on your
game, Parker said. We have a lot
of left-handed bats that are hot right
now, and I think thats one thing
weve got going for us.
Outelder Josh Reddick, one of
Oaklands left-handed hitters, hit 32
home runs this year.
The series will start with two
games in Detroit, where the weather
can be a factor this time of year. In
2006, the Tigers swept the As in the
AL championship series, and there
were snow urries at Comerica on a
workout day between games. It
rained a bit Friday, but the forecast
for Saturday looked clear.
That was good news for Verlander
(17-8), the powerful right-hander
who had two playoff starts cut short
by rain last year.
I saw a little bit of rain today, but
I saw actually on my Twitter of all
places that its not no rain in the
forecast for tomorrow, Verlander
said.
Verlander led the majors in strike-
outs this year, and Max Scherzer
Detroits Game 4 starter nished
second. That could be an asset for
the Tigers, especially since Oakland
struck out more than any other team.
Detroit hasnt been very good
defensively in 2012, but if the As
arent making consistent contact, it
might not matter.
The Tigers are expected to start
Doug Fister in Game 2, followed by
Anibal Sanchez. Scherzer, who was
bothered by a right shoulder issue
down the stretch, threw four innings
in the regular-season finale
Wednesday after twisting his
right ankle two nights earlier in the
celebration after Detroit clinched
the division.

Bass Pro Shops signs
deal with Tony Stewart
TALLADEGA, Ala. Tony Stewart insisted
he wasnt trying to poach a sponsor when he
approached Bass Pro Shops about an opportuni-
ty to join his race team.
The three-time NASCAR champion has a
long relationship with Bass Pro founder Johnny
Morris, and knew the contract with Earnhardt
Ganassi Racing expired at the end of this season.
In need of funding, Stewart had a conversation
that led to an 18-race sponsorship deal that was
announced Friday.
I didnt go to Johnny trying to steal a sponsor
from somebody, Stewart said. We just let it be
known to him that we had an opportunity avail-
able on our side, and if he ever decided he was
wanting to make a change, we wanted him to
know we were available.
The popular outdoor retailer is replacing
Ofce Depot, which told Stewart during the
summer it was not returning to his program.
That left a gaping hole on the No. 14 Chevrolet
at a time when Stewart was also looking for pri-
mary sponsorship for Ryan Newmans car.

Aragon football coach Steve Sell
was bent over at the waist, hands on
his knees, looking like he was about
to lose his lunch.
This one will hurt for a while,
Sell said.
Sell and the Dons must have felt
gut punched as they saw a win turn
into a shocking 28-23 loss to Menlo-
Atherton Friday night in Atherton, all
thanks to an ankle tackle. Aragon (0-
1 PAL Bay, 4-1 overall) trailed M-A
(1-0, 3-2) by 11 points in the fourth
quarter, 28-17, but cut the decit to
28-23 with 8:33 left to play. After
forcing the Bears to punt from mid-
eld, Aragon took over at its own 24
with 2:33 left on the clock. The Dons
moved the ball to mideld before
quarterback Nat Blood hit wide
receiver Aldo Severson over the mid-
dle. A M-A defender slipped,
Severson turned upeld and it was a
race to the end zone.
Severson never got there as a Bears
defender made a desperation swipe
at Seversons feet, clipping his ankles
and knocking him down at the Bears
10-yard line.
That was the game right there,
said M-A coach Sione Taufoou.
Following an incompletion and a
one-yard loss on a rush attempt,
Blood dropped back for the 37th
time and tried to nd a receiver in the
at. The ball was tipped at the line of
scrimmage and M-As Evan Perkins
made an interception to seal the win
for the Bears.
I was happy with the way we han-
dled adversity, Taufoou said. We
played with a lot of effort.
The game was a series of big plays
by both teams, as neither offense
could really be stopped consistently.
Aragon racked up 440 yards of
offense, with 276 yards coming
through the air. Blood threw the most
passes in recent Aragon history with
37. He nished 24 for 37 for 276
yards and a touchdown. He also
threw three interceptions, one that
was returned 34 yards by M-As
Enzo Santos in the third quarter that
proved to be the margin of victory.
We discovered we have a passing
game, Sell said. [M-A] was really
physical up front. I was disappointed
we werent able to run the ball more.
We werent getting much of a push
(from the offensive line).
Severson had a huge game for the
Dons. He caught 12 passes for 161
yards and a touchdown. He also
picked up 18 yards on a fake punt
that kept an Aragon drive alive.
M-A, on the other hand, managed
to accumulate 326 yards of offense.
Quarterback Royce Branning com-
pleted 8 of 12 passes for 204 yards
and two long touchdown strikes. He
also threw three picks.
Despite the interceptions, Taufoou
said he never wavered from putting
the ball in the air.
We just trust our guys, Taufoou
said. We believe in them.
Aragon started fast, going 70 yards
on seven plays on the opening drive
and taking a 7-0 lead on a Jordan
Crisologo 1-yard plunge. M-A,
meanwhile, got off to an ominous
start. A Tasi Teu 80-yard touchdown
was negated by a holding call and on
the next play, Aragons Isiah Atchan
made the rst of his two intercep-
tions. The M-A defense held, howev-
er, forcing the Dons to turn the ball
over on downs.
Aragons Dominic Proia came up
with another interception on M-As
next drive, but again the Bears
defense held. M-A nally got its
offense in gear on its ensuing posses-
sion when Branning hooked up with
Perkins for a 72-yard catch-and-run
to tie the score at 7.
The Bears defense then picked off
Blood on Aragons next possession
and M-A wasted little time in taking
a 14-7 lead as Branning hooked up
with Blake Olsen for a 32-yard score.
Aragon came back to tie it four plays
later when, facing a fourth-and-1,
Crisologo took a handoff on a simple
dive play and broke off a 67-yard
touchdown run.
It was short-lived tie, however, as
M-A embarked on a 13-play, 80-yard
drive that resulted in a 1-yard scoring
run from Teu to put M-A up 20-14,
but the Dons drove to the M-A 23 in
less than 27 seconds and got a 40-
yard eld goal from Severson on the
nal play of the half.
The game changed midway
through the second half. After
Aragon forced the Bears to punt on
their possession of the third quarter,
but Aragons Blood was hit from
behind as he rolled out and the ball
popped up to Santos who took it to
the house, setting up the dramatic
fourth quarter.
What else could you want on a
Friday night? Taufoou said.
Menlo-Atherton survives Aragon rally

The first statement in the
Peninsula Athletic League Lake
Division was made emphatically by
El Camino High School.
Offensively, the Colts were
methodical. Defensively, El Camino
was dominant. And at the end of
their PAL opener, the Colts walked
off their football eld with a 28-0
win over Hillsdale.
We want to win this league, said
El Camino coach Mark Turner.
And as far as Im concerned, we
cant have any let-ups. We have to
take it one game at a time and we
want to win out, but we have to do it
one day at a time and at the end of
it, you put them all together and
whatever happens, happens.
What happened on Friday com-
pletely shell shocked Hillsdale. And
credit the Knights for keeping El
Camino within striking distance
because after the first quarter it
appeared Hillsdale would have to
call up the bus driver to pull around
sooner than expected.
El Camino (1-0 PAL Lake, 3-2
overall) jumped out and used 10
plays on their rst drive to march 70
yards down the eld. On a 4th-and-
goal from the 1-yard line, Ian
Santos rammed home the rst of
three first-quarter touchdowns.
Hillsdale handed El Camino their
second TD of the game on an inter-
ception return for a touchdown
courtesy of John Turner right at the
ve-minute mark. And after the rst
of four Hillsdale 3-and-outs, the
El Camino jumps on Hillsdale early, cruises to win

Colts used four plays to make it 20-
0. Anthony Hines was the benefac-
tor of some solid blocking to the
right of the El Camino offensive line
and No. 5 scampered into the end
zone from 19 yards out. Hines
touchdown capped off a quarter of
football that saw El Camino outgain
Hillsdale 125 yards to 4.
Offensively, were a pretty basic
and simple team, Turner said.
Were going to run the ball down-
hill. Now this year, we have a little
speed, we have a couple of guys that
can go from a distance so thats
always a nice element to have.
While the Colt offense looked
unstoppable, Hillsdale was the
opposite for the majority of the
game. Part of their struggle was the
El Camino defense, which came up
with three interceptions. But anoth-
er was the Knights inability to exe-
cute fundamentals functions four
times, shotgun snaps sailed over
Cole Carrithers head to the tune of
minus-63 yards.
Everything kind of hurt us, said
Hillsdale coach Mike Parodi. We
just have to play better. There really
isnt anything we can do. We have to
go back and watch the lm and g-
ure out whats going to make it
work for us whether its plays,
calls, schemes, personnel.
Defensively, I thought we played
OK. I think we really did a few
big shots here and there and other
than that, we did all right.
The Hillsdale defense did settle
down. After that rst quarter, the
Colts surrendered only 130 yards.
El Camino found the end zone more
though, this time with Brandon Gip
round pay dirt from six yards away.
Right now, Im more proud of
our defense, Turner said.
Anytime, no matter who you play,
where you play, if you lead the
game with a zero for the other team
on the scoreboard, you have to be
happy with that.

LOCAL SCOREBOARD
SAN FRANCISCO The San
Francisco 49ers gured they were in
for a long term project when they
selected Missouri defensive end
Aldon Smith with the No. 6 pick in
the 2011 draft.
Theyre happy to have been proven
wrong.
At the time of the draft the team
viewed Smith as an outside linebacker
in defensive coordinator Vic Fangios
3-4 scheme, despite the fact the 20-
year-old played solely with his hand
in the dirt in his two college seasons.
He was never standing up at
Missouri. And as a matter of fact, he
played about half the time, or I would
say at least 40 percent of the time, he
was a defensive tackle for Missouri,
Fangio said. So, he always had his
hand down. So, you never were able
to see that on lm. You had to just
project that.
With Parys Haralson and Ahmad
Brooks entrenched at the two outside
linebacker spots last season, the team
was able to bring Smith along slowly.
In practice, he learned the nuances of
playing in coverage and run support,
but on game days he was sent on the
eld in passing situations to rush the
quarterback as a defensive end.
The role was a good t for Smith,
who set the franchise rookie record
with 14 sacks, but it was clear by sea-
sons end that Smith was too talented
for such a minimal role. He was ready
to be upgraded to an every-down line-
backer, which can be a rocky transi-
tion.
You just give him enough repeti-
tions at it, both on the practice eld
and in the lm room, to where he
learns it and understands it, Fangio
said. And then if hes good enough
talent-wise to do it, he can do it. In this
case he is. So, hes learned well both
on the eld and in the classroom, and
hes talented enough to transfer it into
a good result.
Through four games as a true every-
down linebacker this season, Smith is
pleased with his progress. His 4.5
sacks account for more than half the
teams total (8) and place him in a sev-
enth-place tie in the NFL with Miami
linebacker Cameron Wake.
Smith admitted his play recognition
and coverage skills need to improve,
but feels hes on the right track there,
too.
49ers pleased with Aldon Smiths progress

Cuhna chose to score instead of taking a knee
near the goal line and kneeling away the nals
second of the game since Sequoia had no
more time outs. That move almost came back
to hurt South City.
Thats because Taylor wasnt done with his
night. With 1:18 left and the ball on his own
22-yard line, No. 8 drove his team down the
eld, hitting Liam Cotter on a couple of huge
pass plays to give the Cherokees 1st-and-goal
from the South City 6-yard line.
Two plays later, as Tommy Lopiparo fought
for extra yards, he fumbled the football just
before reaching the goal line and the South
City defense pounced on the football for a
touchback, thus securing the win for the
Warriors and handing Sequoia their rst loss
of the year.
This is where you want the instant replay
cameras and everything, said Sequoia head
coach Rob Poulos. You hate to see it end on
that.
We shot ourselves in the foot in those last
two drives of the rst half. Then, we take the
lead and the last thing you want to see is kick-
off return to the house. Thats deating and
makes it tough. Thats the rst break down
weve had since we xed some stuff after
Week 1.
We talk about it all the time, Moro said
about playing a complete football game in all
three phases of the game. We drill it into
them. That kickoff return, there were a couple
blocks that were crucial and people have to
realize that. There are so important.
South City came out to start the game like a
team starving for a touchdown. They used 14
plays and worked their way 75 yards, scoring
from two yards out on a Shkuratov touch-
down. But Sequoia responded right back with
an impressive, methodical drive of its own.
The Cherokees only needed ve plays to tie
things up on a Taylor run. No. 8 would score
again 14-7 with 4:49 left in the half.
But thats when South Citys defense took
over and made Taylor look human. The
Warriors intercepted back-to-back Sequoia
passes. The rst, they turned into six points on
a touchdown. And the second, it took them
nine plays to march 25 yards just before the
half time horn.
WARRIORS
The Panthers stopped the Gators again on
fourth down, this time on the Gators 38, but the
Panthers offense could do nothing with the
eld position, gaining just eight yards.
It was more of the same in the second half as
neither defense was willing to break.
Burlingame received the second-half kickoff
and, starting from its own 20, drove to the
Gators 37 on 13 plays before nally punting.
SHP could not mount much offense either in
the second half, but caught a break late in the
fourth quarter. The Panthers lined up to punt
but the snap was a little high and a SHP line-
man broke in on the punter, who pulled it down
and tried to run for the rst down. He was
stopped and the Gators took over at mideld
with 4:32 left in the game. The Gators drove to
8-yard line before Brendan Spillane kicked a
25-yard eld goal to give the Gators some
breathing room, 10-0, with just over a minute
to play and seal the win.
I was worried they might break one good
play, Lavorato said of Burlingame.
Sacred Heart Prep is explosive. We knew

Burlingame was held to just 156 yards of

seize the opportunity. We dont get many, he said.
After twice coming with a strike of winning last
years World Series, this season is over that quick-
ly for the Rangers, who were in rst place for a
majors-high 178 days this season. Texas loaded
the bases with two outs in the ninth before David
Murphy ied out to end it.
We just didnt get it done, manager Ron
Washington said.
The Rangers lost the AL West crown on the nal
day of the regular season, after being swept in
three games at Oakland for a stretch of nine losses
their last 13 games.
Im not stunned, I was right there watching it,
Washington said.
Their worst slump of the season came at the
wrong time for Texas, which a week ago had a
four-game division lead with six games to play.
Because of that, they couldnt avoid the majors
new winner-take-all postseason openers, and then
couldnt get past their Orioles with their top pitch-
er on the mound.
To be honest with you I never thought anything
like this would happen, Washington said.
Wiped out by San Francisco in the 2010 World
Series, the Rangers twice came within a strike of
their rst World Series championship last October
against St. Louis.
When the Rangers committed more than $107
million last winter to acquire Darvish, they did so
with the anticipation hed be on the mound for
many big games.
Me and my teammates and the Rangers fans,
I dont think we all thought that it would end this
early, Darvish said through a translator. I mean,
right now, no. I dont even know what Im sup-
posed to do tomorrow.
They never would have expected him being out-
dueled in a playoff game by Saunders, a late-sea-
son addition by the Orioles who had lost all six of
his previous starts with a 9.38 ERA at Rangers
Ballpark.
Our main job tonight was be as calm as we
could and not try to do too much, Saunders said.
I think we did that to the best. We just clawed and
scratched our way to a couple runs and played
great defense.
Saunders quickly gave up the Orioles 1-0 lead
in the rst, but that was the only run he allowed in
5 2-3 innings. The left-hander struck out four and
walked one.
ORIOLES
The Braves are done for this season, the recip-
ients of another heartbreaking loss in the play-
offs.
The 40-year-old Jones is all done, period. He
managed an ineld hit in his nal at-bat but threw
away a double play ball in the fourth, which led
to a three-run inning that wiped out Atlantas 2-0
lead behind Kris Medlen.
Ultimately, I feel Im the one to blame, Jones
said.
But this one-and-done game will be remem-
bered for the eighth, when a disputed call on a y
ball that dropped in short left eld cost the Braves
a chance at extending Jones career.
The Braves thought they had the bases loaded
with one out after the ball fell between two eld-
ers. But left-eld umpire Sam Holbrook called
Andrelton Simmons out under the ineld y rule
even though the ball landed at least 50 feet
beyond the dirt. When the sellout crowd of
52,631 realized what had happened, and a second
out go up on the scoreboard, they littered the eld
with whatever they could get their hands on.
It was scary, St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina
said.
Holbrook defended the call, even after he
looked at the replay.
Once that elder established himself, he got
ordinary effort, he said, referring to shortstop
Pete Kozma calling for the ball, then veering
away at the last moment as left elder Holliday
drifted in. Thats when the call was made.
Braves president John Schuerholz apologized
for the actions of the crowd, saying a small
group of those fans acted in a manner that was
uncharacteristic and unacceptable. The barrage
left Holbrook fearing for his safety.
When cans are ying past your head, yeah, a
little bit, Holbrook said.
The stoppage only delayed the inevitable.
When play resumed, Brian McCann walked to
load the bases but Michael Bourn struck out to
end the threat. Dan Uggla grounded out with two
aboard in the ninth to nish it, leading to one
more wave of trash throwing as the umps scurried
off the eld probably feeling a lot like those
replacement NFL refs who caught so much grief.
The ineld y is a complicated rule, designed
to prevent inelders from intentionally dropping
a popup with more than one runner on base and
perhaps get an extra out.
No one could ever remember it being applied
like this. And, after past postseasons dotted by
contested calls, this play will certainly lead to
another slew of October cries for more instant
replay.
I was under it, Kozma said. I should have
made the play. I took my eyes off it. I was
camped under it.

Best bets
Dont get taken too
By David Germain
Planning to pay out good money to see
Taken 2? To paraphrase Liam Neeson,
youre about to be taken.
Whatever novelty there was watch-
ing Neeson go commando in 2008s
Taken is gone in the sequel, a
mix of third-rate action, dreary
family melodrama, laughable bad
guys and even more laughable plot
devices.
Taken 2 is so bad it feels as
though producer and co-writer Luc
Besson swept up odds and ends cut
from the rst movie and slapped them
together between a few new scenes shot
with Neesons retired CIA guy Bryan
Mills, his daughter (Maggie Grace) and
ex-wife (Famke Janssen).
The original was relentlessly paced
and just ew by. The sequel is about
the same length yet takes its good old
time putting the villains and viewers
out of their misery.
Besson and director Olivier
Megaton (Transporter 3) pad
Taken 2 with really awful reconcil-
iation moments between Mills and
his family, and once the action nal-
ly kicks in, its nothing but repetitive
kill shots to the head, snapping of
necks and poorly edited hand-to-hand
ghts.
The giggles start in the opening
moments as a group of Albanians
mourn their dead all the thugs
Neesons Mills killed in the rst movie
for kidnapping his daughter in a prostitu-
tion ring.
The dead cry out to us for justice! pro-
claims family patriarch Murad (Rade
Sherbedgia). We will have our revenge!
Murad assembles a seemingly countless gang of rogues
to go after Mills in Istanbul, where hes just nished a
security job and is taking some down time with daughter
Kim (Grace) and his ex, Lenore (Janssen), whos newly
separated from her second hubby.

End of APs
By Chloee Weiner
A
t the end of last spring,
my high schools adminis-
tration made a decision
that should bring relief to any stu-
dent population. Beginning in the
fall of 2012, all
Advanced
Placement
courses would
be eliminated
from the Crystal
Springs Uplands
School curricu-
lum.
At rst, most
members of the student body react-
ed as any teenager should the
end of APs meant the end of three-
hour standardized tests in May, the
end of late-night cram sessions in
attempts to receive the elusive top
score 5 and the end of pressure to
take AP tests into the double-digits
just to receive college credit in the
future. But after a little time and
thought, CSUS students and parents
alike began to nd downsides to
this curricular change, wondering
how colleges might compare CSUS
students with no AP credits to stu-
dents from other schools with eight
or 10. However, the administration
and college counseling ofce care-
fully countered each concern with a
convincing response: all colleges
would receive a school report not-
ing Crystals decision and AP
courses would instead be called
honors classes (indicating the
same level of rigor). Most impor-
tantly, teachers stressed that they
would nally be able to cover mate-
rial an inch wide and a mile deep
rather than scrambling to cover
information a mile wide and an
inch deep meaning the in-depth
focus on details of subject matter
that would never be included on an
AP test.
Upon hearing this rationale last
year, I was a little skeptical of the
change too, but its a month into the
school year and Im already reaping
the benets of an AP-free educa-
tion. When choosing classes from
the amended course list for this
year, I decided that I couldnt grad-
uate Crystal without taking the leg-
endary Honors European History
class. Despite my excitement for
the course, I knew that the summer
reading for any advanced history
course would probably be thick and
packed with fact after fact about

WEEKEND JOURNAL 20
By David Germain
LOS ANGELES As far as Tim
Burtons concerned, you cant keep
a good dog down. And you cant
keep a good, old-fashioned form of
animation down, either.
Burtons boy-and-his-dead-dog
tale Frankenweenie is
Hollywoods latest resurrection of
stop-motion animation, a century-
old style that still creeps on to the
big-screen now and then in an age
of computer-generated cartoon
blockbusters.
Its a simple concept inanimate
objects moved innitesimally and
photographed a frame at a time to
create an illusion of motion. But
with elaborate miniature sets and
puppets whose innards are intricate
gears to create movement and
expression, its a painstaking
process requiring dozens of anima-
tion teams and years of work.
The result is something that looks
like a loose, lumpy caricature of
reality yet can feel more concrete
and genuine than its slick computer-
animated cousin.
Its a more pure form, stop-
motion, Burton said. You try to
put the form with the right story,
and this one, just because youre
reanimating something, theres
something about moving a puppet
that just works with that idea.
A feature-length version of
Burtons 1984 live-action short lm,
Frankenweenie tells the story of a
boy genius who pulls a
Frankenstein and brings his beloved
dog back to life after a car accident.
Burton expanded the story to
include a menagerie of resurrected
monsters, including a were-rat, a
mummy hamster and a Godzilla-
like giant turtle.
Hollywood can go years without
a stop-motion film, then deliver
them in waves. Frankenweenie is
the third one this year, following
ParaNorman, from the makers of
2009s stop-motion tale Coraline,
and The Pirates! Band of Mists,
from Aardman Animations, the
British outfit behind 2005s
Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of
the Were-Rabbit, the only stop-
motion cartoon to win the Academy
Award for feature animation.
Wallace & Gromit came out the
same year as Burtons Corpse
Bride, the filmmakers second
stop-motion ick after he revived
the format with 1993s The
Nightmare Before Christmas.
Burtons ghoulish sensibilities
ghosts, goblins and other creatures
from beyond somehow make a
nice fit for the slightly clunky,
chunky stop-motion style. Along
with Coraline, ParaNorman and
Curse of the Were-Rabbit, the
upcoming stop-motion demon com-
edy Hell & Back also has an oth-
erworldly bent.
Stop-motion has always had a
macabre side to it, and I think that
goes back to the tradition of it as a
medium. If you look at the people
who really drove it forward early on
in short lms, they were animating
bones and dead chickens, lord
knows what else, said Chris Butler,
who worked on Corpse Bride and
Coraline and wrote and co-direct-
ed ParaNorman.
Then you have to always come
back to Nightmare Before
Christmas. That set a tone, I think,
for the whole thing.
Like Frankenweenie,
ParaNorman is a story about
reviving the dead, centering on a
mist boy whose ability to talk with
ghosts makes him an unlikely hero
after his town is besieged by zom-
bies raised from their graves.
Stop-motion animators have been
creating ghostly magic since the
early years of cinema on such short
films as 1907s The Haunted
Hotel, which showed a dinner

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
NAOYA HATAKEYAMA: NATURAL
STORIES, AT THE SAN FRANCISCO
MUSEUM OF MODERN ART. One of
Japans most important contemporary photog-
raphers, Naoya Hatakeyama, has developed a
thorough and analytical method for observing
the ways in which the human and natural
worlds coexist and clash. Hatakeyama is
known for austere and beautiful large-scale
color pictures that capture the extraordinary
powers routinely deployed by mankind to
shape nature and, in the case of his photo-
graphs made after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake
and tsunami, the equally powerful impact of
natural forces on human activities.
With Naoya Hatakeyama: Natural Stories,
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
(SFMOMA) presents the artists rst solo
exhibition in a U.S. museum and the rst pres-
entation of his work on the West Coast.
Organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan
Museum of Photography in association with
SFMOMA, the exhibition gathers work span-
ning Hatakeyamas entire career, including
more than 100 photographs and two video
installations, offering viewers new insight into
the artists practice and place in the rich histo-
ry of Japanese photography.
Hatakeyama has long been interested in the
relationship between human industry and the
natural environment. After observing that the
quarries and the cities are like negative and
positive images of a single photograph,
Hatakeyama began to investigate urban centers
built from limestone and concrete. In
Underground (1999), he explores the pitch-
black depths of Tokyos underbelly from the
tunnels of the Shibuya River, revealing the
ecosystems of the citys sewer network that
often go unseen. Nearly a decade later he
returned to the subject, photographing the
remnants of decaying limestone quarries
underneath Paris in Ciel Tomb (2007).
Contemplating the abandoned structures sur-
rounding a disused coal mine, Zeche
Westfalen I/II Ahlen (2003/2004) includes
images of a German factory hall seemingly
suspended in midair at the moment of its dem-
olition. For the Blast series (2005), the photog-
rapher used a high-speed motor-driven camera
to document explosions in an open-cast lime-
stone mine, framing the instant of impact in a
series of still photographs.
The presentation at SFMOMA, the sole U.S.
venue for this internationally traveling retro-
spective, is overseen by Lisa J. Sutcliffe, assis-
tant curator of photography. Sutcliffe said,
For the past 25 years Naoya Hatakeyama has
made pictures that focus on the complicated
relationship between man and nature.
Approaching his subjects from diverse per-
spectives and across time, he redenes the
ways in which we visualize the natural world.

DESERT JEWELS: NORTH AFRICAN
JEWELRY AND PHOTOGRAPHY
FROM THE XAVIER GUERRAND-
HERMS COLLECTION, AT THE
MUSEUM OF THE AFRICAN DIASPO-
RA. For millennia North Africa, including the
nations of Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya
and Egypt, has served as a crossroads for the
Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.
Starting well before the Christian era,
Phoenicians, Egyptians, Romans and Greeks
mingled with the Amazigh peoples. Also
known as Berbers, they are thought to be the
original inhabitants of the region, along with
Africans from south of the Sahara Desert.
Following the Arab conquest of North Africa
in the seventh century CE, the Imazighen grad-
ually converted to Islam and over generations
were assimilated into Arab communities. They
played an important role in the Arab conquest
of Spain in the eighth century and built
empires in North Africa and Spain in the 11th
to 13th centuries. To this day Imazighen still
preserve aspects of their cultural identity, and
they divide themselves into different confeder-
ations that speak distinct languages in addition
to Arabic.
Desert Jewels: North African Jewelry and
Photography from the Xavier Guerrand-
Herms Collection, at the Museum of the
African Diaspora, presents 94 spectacular
pieces of jewelry and 28 photographs from
Algeria, Morocco, Egypt and Tunisia, collect-
ed by Xavier Guerrand-Herms of the
renowned Paris-based fashion empire. This
collection of North African jewelry and his-
toric late 19th- and early 20th-century photo-
graphs by some of the regions most prominent
photographers provides insight into the
regions changing societies. The North African
arts displayed include variations of delicate
pottery, beautifully embroidered and woven
textiles, elegant woodwork, leatherwork and
metalwork and intricate silver and gold jewel-
ry, illustrating the diversity of North Africas
artistic traditions.
The Museum of the African Diaspora is
located at 685 Mission St. (at Third Street),
San Francisco, near the Moscone Center. The

across Mission Street before entering the

being prepared by invisible hands.
In live-action movies, stop-motion
was used to create dinosaurs in the silent
adventure The Lost World, the great
ape of the original King Kong and
ghting skeletons and other creatures in
lms from special-effects master Ray
Harryhausen. James Cameron used stop-
motion to animate the creepy metal
endo-skeleton of his Terminator
killing machine after its coating of
Arnold Schwarzenegger flesh was
burned away.
Stop-motion also has had a more fam-
ily-friendly history with such TV
favorites as Gumby, Davey and
Goliath and Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer.
While two-dimensional hand-drawn
animation that once ruled the cartoon
world has mostly vanished on the big-
screen, stop-motions puppets and
miniature sets are a natural in todays
world of digital 3-D cinema.
Its a great marriage, said
ParaNorman co-director Sam Fell.
Its always been so tactile, stop-frame. I
remember being young and watching
Harryhausen. I always wanted to take
one of those skeletons home and just
reach in and touch the stuff inside. The
3-D just makes it even more tangible and
invites you in even more. You become
more immersed in the craft of it.
Along with digital 3-D photography,
stop-motion films now are peppered
with computer-animated visual effects to
add to the spectacle.
Yet the basic idea is the same as it ever
was.
Its a guy behind a black curtain,
pushing a puppet one frame at a time. So
it really hasnt changed in a hundred
years, said Frankenweenie producer
Allison Abbate. Its still embracing that
old-school, handmade, handcrafted tech-
nology that I think you feel when you
watch the movie. It feels like a labor of
love, and you can see it on screen.
BURTON
Theyre such amateurs, Murad and his
boys, that its like watching Mills shoot
puppies in a pet store window as he takes
them out individually and in bunches.
Theres little sense of peril to Mills and
his women, even Lenore, who spends
much of the movie bound and whimper-
ing, with knives at her throat (what fun
for Janssen this job must have been).
The lmmakers decide to promote
Graces Kim from whimper-woman in
Taken to her dads apprentice here,
with pretty silly results. Under Mills
guidance, Kim tosses live grenades
indiscriminately around Istanbul so her
dad can use the explosions to triangulate
the position of Murads lair.
Seriously. Thats how dumb the movie
is.
There was something primal about
Taken, a father putting all his brains
and brawn into saving his little girl, and
doing it with startling ferocity and
ingenious trade-craft.
Neeson just looks like hes yawning
his way through a light workout here,
using one big Irish paw to snuff goons
and holding the other one out to the stu-
dio for his paycheck.
This is old-style sequel mentality. Do
a quick, crappy replay of the original,
dump it in theaters and grab whatever
cash you can before fans realize theyve
been had.
Studios still make crappy sequels, yet
they usually take some effort to raise the
stakes and bring something new these

Taken 2.

leaders with long names and places that
have since been decolonized. But when
I got my summer reading books in the
mail, I couldnt have been more pleased
to see Peter Gays Mozart: A Life.
The pages of Mozart were lled not
with dull descriptions of the monarchs
of Mozarts time nor the stuffy audi-
ences for which he performed, but vivid
details regarding Mozarts family life,
eloquent interpretations of his most
famous (and least famous!) concertos
and symphonies, and letters written by
his father about their concert tour
through Europe.
To say that Mozart was a pleasant
surprise amongst my other summer
reading books would be an understate-
ment, but I did not imagine that it
would provide such a smooth transition
into the material wed begin to study. I
was promptly proven wrong in the rst
week of school.
On the rst day of classes, students
were assigned a series of mini presenta-
tions in which they were to take their
favorite (or least favorite) description of
one of Mozarts works from Mozart: A
Life and listen to the original piece,
comparing the descriptions with their
own opinion. Soon even the most clue-
less classical listeners, myself included,
were discussing their opinions on works
like Piano Concerto No. 20 or
Symphony No. 9. Since the rst week
of school, weve read and watched
Mozarts The Magic Flute as a class
while simultaneously learning the val-
ues of freemasonry, the public opinion
of religion during the Enlightenment
and the role of Enlightenment philoso-
phers like Voltaire.
With assignments like these, as far as
Im concerned, the AP-free philosophy
of delving into subject matter an inch
wide and a mile deep was right. I
havent yet found a downside in the
relationship between lack of APs and
the college process, but then again,
maybe Ill change that opinion once my
peers in college opt out of introductory-
level classes with their countless AP
credits.

In addition to our dinner menu, we offer . . .
according to a staff report. It was set to
match the number of places open at the
time and intended to only last for two
years. Prior to the 1987 sunset date,
however, the rule was amended to
become permanent. The number of
restaurants was increased in 2009, 2010
and in June. Currently, 47 food estab-
lishments are allowed. That number
includes limited-service and full-service
restaurants. The council, however, was
interested in lifting the restrictions for
full-service restaurants only.
Under the possible timeline, the
restriction could be lifted as early as
Dec. 5.
At the same meeting, the commission
will consider approving plans to open a
full-service restaurant called The Plant
at 1395 Burlingame Ave. In July 2011,
the commission granted a conditional
use permit allowing such a restaurant in
the space. At the time, however, a spe-
cic tenant was not determined. That
permit has since expired.
The Plant proposes opening a contem-
porary California cuisine and Asian-
inspired avors using local and organic
ingredients. It will be open from 7 a.m.
to 11 p.m. seven days a week. The Plant
will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner
offering a variety of items from fresh
juice to pasta and house-made pastries.
If approved, the restaurant will take two
vacant spaces previously held by Baby
Couture and Aida Opera Candies. Both
businesses are now operating in different
locations downtown.
The commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday,
Oct. 9 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.

A few miles down the Bay is Alcatraz,
where Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery
prevented missiles from launching and
Clint Eastwood may or may not have
escaped. Up on shore, theres Coit
Tower, City Hall, the Transamerica
Pyramid, all those hills that have been
the setting for so many chase scenes.
Filled with iconic landmarks, breath-
taking scenery and a wide range of loca-
tions, San Francisco has a long history
as a favorite site for lmmakers and
the movie buffs who want to see the
places where their favorite scenes were
lmed.
So many people are so familiar with
the icons, with the landmarks of San
Francisco, said Bryan Rice, owner of
San Francisco Movie Tours. You can
show the Golden Gate Bridge, you can
show the Transamerica Pyramid in the
background, show these different places
where people are familiar with and it
draws people in.
The Bay Areas moviemaking history
goes back to the beginning of lm, to
Eadweard Muybridges study of a horse
galloping in Palo Alto, widely regarded
as the rst motion picture ever made.
Charlie Chaplins movies and many of
the rst silent lms were shot near San
Francisco, along with parts of The Jazz
Singer, the rst talkie released in
1927.
Alfred Hitchcock loved shooting in
the Bay Area, as did George Lucas and
Clint Eastwood.
Its easy to see why: The Bay, the
bridge, the landmarks, and a variety of
elevations for interesting angles to shoot
from. Locations are diverse: downtown,
the waterfront, the Painted Ladies
Victorian homes, Chinatown, the gritty
Tenderloin. Film noir can be shot in the
fog; a screwball comedy can bounce
along hilly streets. Many lms shot in
San Francisco are written for the city, so
it, in a sense, becomes a character in the
movie.
All the producers I talk to say they
would love to shoot here because visual-
ly its such a beautiful place that it
makes anyones lm better looking,
said Susannah Greason Robbins, execu-
tive director of the San Francisco Film
Commission.
But the number of big-production
movies shot in San Francisco has
tapered off with the rise of digital tech-
nology. Instead of going on location,
producers can recreate the citys look in
studios and with computers at less cost.
Its also cheaper to shoot in other
locales, from the American South to
Canada, with some states offering better
tax breaks for production companies
than California does. Rise of the Planet
of the Apes, released in 2011, was set in
San Francisco but shot in British
Columbia.
Its very hard to compete with that
because lm production companies, like
any smart businessperson, are trying to
get the best bang for their buck,
Greason Robbins said. When you get
30-35 percent back on your lm expens-
es when you shoot in one of those other
states, you kind of have to go there. Its
frustrating.
San Francisco still attracts movie-
makers, with more than 100 lms shot
here in the last decade and 16 last year,
but more are independent or from small
local companies than in the past. Still the
citys long history of lm offers plenty
of iconic spots to visit. Here are just a
few.
Rock, bridge: San Franciscos film landmarks
Filled with iconic landmarks, breathtaking scenery and a wide range of locations,
San Francisco has a long history as a favorite site for lmmakers.
By Sudhin Thanawala
SAN FRANCISCO An unusual convergence of sport-
ing and entertainment events in San Francisco this weekend
promises to bring up to a million extra people into the dense-
ly populated bayside city.
The inux could eclipse the citys own population of about
800,000.
The weekend will include the opening games of the San
Francisco Giants division playoffs, a San Francisco 49ers
game, the annual Fleet Week celebration featuring the Blue
Angels and the Americas Cup World Series yachting races.
Add to that mix a highly popular bluegrass festival in
Golden Gate Park and street festivals in North Beach and
elsewhere and it has the makings for jam-packed streets and
transit challenges, even as the citys economy gets a boost.
James Go, 25, who works in San Francisco but lives in
nearby Daly City, said he usually comes into San Francisco
on weekends, but was planning to stay away this weekend.
The population is going to double. Its not worth it, he
said, as he took a break on Friday from work at a downtown
ofce building.
City ofcials say they are prepared for the crowds. The
city has activated its emergency operations center and the
police department has limited time off and reassigned of-
cers from administrative and investigative assignments to the
street.
We are up to this challenge, Mayor Ed Lee said at a
news conference on Tuesday. We have departments work-
ing around the clock to make sure these things are managed
well.
City ofcials are strongly encouraging people to bike,
walk or use public transportation or taxis.
Giants, 49ers, yachts,fests:
S.F. bracing for big crowds
to shift attention from a disappointing
performance at the first presidential
debate, said Friday that the report
showed the country has come too far to
turn back now.
His Republican opponent, Mitt
Romney, countered: This is not what a
real recovery looks like.
The drop brought the jobless rate back
to where it was when Obama was sworn
in, in January 2009, and snapped a 43-
month streak in which unemployment
was 8 percent or higher a run Romney
had been emphasizing.
The October jobs report comes out
Nov. 2, four days before the election, so
Fridays report provided one of the nal
snapshots of the economy as undecided
voters make up their minds.
The government calculates the unem-
ployment rate by calling 60,000 house-
holds and asking whether the adults have
jobs, and whether those who dont are
looking for work.
Those who do not have jobs and are
looking are counted as unemployed.
Those who arent looking are not consid-
ered part of the work force and arent
counted as unemployed.
A separate monthly survey seeks infor-
mation from 140,000 companies and
government agencies that together
employ about one in three nonfarm
workers in the United States.
That survey found that the economy
added 114,000 jobs in September, the
fewest since June. Most of the job growth
came in service businesses such as health
care and restaurants.
The Labor Department raised its job-
creation gures by a total of 86,000 jobs
for July and August. The July gure was
revised from 141,000 to 181,000, and the
August gure from 96,000 to 142,000.
Taken together, the two surveys sug-
gest the job situation in the United States
is better than was thought.
Economist Joel Naroff, president of
Naroff Economic Advisors, called the
strong employment reports a shocker
that showed the job market was sturdier
than most economists had thought.
Financial markets seemed less
impressed. The Dow Jones industrial
average climbed as much as 86 points in
early trading but drifted lower for most
of the rest of the day. It nished up 34
points at 13,610. The Standard & Poors
500 index, a broader measure, was down
a fraction of a point.
Stock indexes have been trading at or
near their highest levels since December
2007, the month the Great Recession
began. They have gotten a lift from
Federal Reserve efforts to stimulate the
economy, and by a European Central
Bank plan to buy the bonds of nancial-
ly troubled countries to ease a debt crisis
there.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year
U.S. Treasury note climbed by 0.06 per-
centage point to 1.73 percent, a sign that
investors were more willing to embrace
risk and leave the relative safety of the
bond market.
The unemployment gures were so
surprisingly strong that some pundits and
at least one member of Congress, Florida
Republican Allen West, accused the
Obama administration of manipulating
the statistics to help the presidents
prospects.
On Wednesday, Obama was widely
seen as having lost his rst debate with
Romney.
Jack Welch, the retired former CEO of
General Electric, said on Twitter:
Unbelievable jobs numbers ... these
Chicago guys will do anything ... cant
debate so change numbers.
But the unemployment data is calculat-
ed by a government agency, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, under tight security
and with no oversight or input from the
White House.
Keith Hall, a former commissioner of
the BLS who was appointed by President
George W. Bush, said the numbers could
not have been manipulated.

and Laurel Street. One is a six-unit
rental housing building and another the
former Foodville Market. The entire
space is approximately 2.65 acres, sit-
ting roughly 300 feet southwest of the
Caltrain station, two blocks from City
Hall and straddling areas of both retail
and multi-family housing.
Right now, the project is split into
three components: the Wheeler Plaza
mixed-use plan to replace the parking lot
and retail with 9,855 square feet of com-
mercial space and 108 residential units
above a three-level parking garage; the
Laurel Street commercial and plaza
component which includes the public
space and a two-story 4,500-square-foot
building for restaurant and ofce space;
and the Cherry Street affordable housing
component which would include a 31-
unit building.
The proposal is consistent with the
general plans trafc components as long
as certain steps are taken to mitigate
congestion, according to the staff report.
The most signicantly impacted areas
would be the intersections of Holly and
Laurel streets and Cherry and Laurel
streets during peak hours. To ease the
ow, the nal EIR suggests a new stop
sign at Cherry and Laurel streets, creat-
ing a four-way stop that allows east-
bound trafc to move through the inter-
section more quickly. Coordinating the
traffic signal light at the Holly and
Laurel streets intersection with other
nearby signals would also make trafc
move more efciently.
The city would also receive approxi-
mately $150,000 in trafc mitigation
fees from the developer.
The idea, if not any actual plans, for
Wheeler Plaza date back to the late
1990s when the redevelopment agency
envisioned a parking structure with 60
residential units and 120 bedrooms. In
November 2010, the RDA paid $2.8 mil-
lion for the 7,400-square-foot former
Foodville parcel at 1245 San Carlos Ave.

lot to expand the projects dimensions.

is now whats offered. She makes the
fudge to taste, which means Ferrari-
Vercelli tastes fudge daily not a bad
gig. Two avors will be available at the
chocolate fest this year.
Ferrari-Vercelli is just one of the Bay
Area chocolatiers offering mouthwater-
ing samples Saturday.
The goal is to bring together a mix of
different types of chocolate treats,
explained Micki Carter, one of the
events co-founders. For example, theres
one offering of fudge, cookie and
brownie. Its about giving people deli-
cious options.
The annual tradition started 30 years
ago when a group came together to start
a fundraiser. At rst, the idea of a beer
festival was oated, but that didnt seem
to match the idea of a church event. One
of the women had a shop that sold teddy
bears and also designer chocolates. She
suggested chocolate and the group got
started, said Carter. There wasnt anoth-
er chocolate show at the time locally, she
recalled.
Prestons Candies of Burlingame was
the rst chocolate seller to enter the
Chocolate Festival. A handful of the
vendors such as Kathys Kreative
Kakes and Buds Ice Cream have
similarly continued to come back year
after year, said Carter. Others have
changed. This year will feature a variety
of newbies as well.
Live music, champagne, gourmet cof-
fee and prizes will accompany the
chocolate tasting.
Proceeds from the Chocolate Fest will
benet Bay Area health and social serv-
ices organizations, including the
Samaritan House, Second Harvest Food
Bank and Home and Hope, as well as
church programs.
The Chocolate Fest will have two
Saturday sessions, 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
and 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the
Congregational Church of Belmont, 751
Alameda de Las Pulgas in Belmont.

afternoon. For more information call

FEST
September, coupled with a drop in
unemployment to 7.8 percent, was a
reminder that this country has come too
far to turn back now. Jabbing at his
rivals plans, he declared, Weve made
too much progress to return to the poli-
cies that caused this crisis in the rst
place.
But Romney saw little to like in the
days new government numbers.
This is not what a real recovery looks
like, the former Massachusetts gover-
nor and businessman said, an analysis
echoed by other Republicans throughout
the day. We created fewer jobs in
September than in August, and fewer
jobs in August than in July, and weve
lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs
since President Obama took office,
Romney added.
If not for all the people who have
simply dropped out of the labor force,
the real unemployment rate would be
closer to 11%, he said.
Incumbent and challenger alike cam-
paigned in battleground states during the
day, each man starting out in Virginia
before the president headed for Ohio and
Romney ew to Florida. Those three
states, along with Colorado, Nevada,
New Hampshire, Wisconsin, North
Carolina and Iowa make up the nine bat-
tleground states where the race is likely
to be decided. Among them, they
account for 110 of the 270 electoral
votes needed to win the White House.
Recent polls have shown Obama with
leads in most if not all of them, although
the impact of Wednesday nights debate
and of the drop in unemployment could
well change some public opinion.
Both campaigns kept up a television
advertising war with a price tag
approaching $750 million when outside
group spending is included.
Romney launched three new commer-
cials during the day, one aimed at voters
in Nevada, a second targeted to Ohio and
a third that says Obama claims he is
creating jobs, but hes really creating
debt, running up decits and spending
unnecessarily. Hes not just wasting it.
Hes borrowing it and then wasting it,
the narrator says.
The campaign did not say where it
would air.
Romneys strong showing in the cam-
paigns first general election debate
cheered Republicans who had worried
about his campaign, and forced Obamas
aides into a rare public acknowledge-
ment that they would have to adjust their
strategy for the next encounter.
The jobs report was the main ash-
point of the day, and Obama scolded
Republicans for their reaction.
Todays news certainly is not an
excuse to try to talk down the economy
to score a few political points, he said
as Romney and most GOP lawmakers
emphasized portions of the report other
than the drop in the unemployment rate
to the same level as when the president
took ofce.
Republicans made it clear they wanted
to keep the focus on Wednesday nights
debate, when Romney appeared con-
dent as he pitched his case for a new
approach to the economy and Obama
turned in a performance that even some
Democrats conceded was subpar.
In a weekly Weekend Messaging
Memo distributed by the Republican
National Committee, communications
director Sean Spicer devoted 650 words
to a recap of the debate and made no
mention of the drop in unemployment.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2012
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The possibilities for fulfll-
ing your fnancial hopes look particularly good. If you
choose to do so, you could generate earnings right
now from more than one source.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Theres a lot to be said
for past experiences, even those that were of a pain-
ful nature. Given similar circumstances, it isnt likely
youll make the same mistake you did once before.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Things have a way
of eventually leveling out. You could proft from a past
arrangement that ended up badly and cost you emo-
tionally, thanks to the knowledge youve gained since.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your strong
desires for fairness and equality with friends will be
extremely obvious to all concerned. In fact, you will
leave a lasting impression that your chums will want
to emulate.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Devote maximum
effort and attention to your most meaningful present
objective. Youll happily set your playthings aside
when there is something important to accomplish.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you choose it,
business and pleasure can be effectively blended
together. Arrange a pleasant luncheon or dinner party
for a special person, if there is something you want
to discuss.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you have been trying
to work out something that you believe could be prof-
itable, dont let it sit unfnished. Its to your advantage
to wrap things up as soon as possible.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Because youll say what
you mean and mean what you say, your attitude will
enable you to work far more productively with others
than usual. Each will know where the other stands.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although fnancial
prospects are trending favorably, youll still have to
earn whatever you hope to get. You wont fnd any
free rides on the railroad youre traveling.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- By personally assum-
ing control over matters that affect your self-interest,
everything should work quite well for you. Should you
have to delegate authority, keep a watchful eye.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your nobler instants will be
prevalent and will be noticed by those who count.
Theres a chance you will make a sacrifce on behalf
of another, with no possibility of gain for yourself.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There is no better time
than now to start tightening the ties that could
bind you to someone you like. Take the initiative to
strengthen this relationship instead of waiting on the
other party to do so.
