business owner Sebastian Figueredo
stood Thursday at a Union 76 gas station
near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay
Bridge, holding his phone up high so he
could get a photo of the price sign.
A gallon of regular at the station was
selling for $4.79, up from $4.59 the day
before. Premium gasoline was $4.99.
Every time these go up, I cant just
raise my hourly rate up as well,
Figueredo complained.
Throughout California, the average
price of a gallon of regular gasoline
jumped 8 cents overnight to $4.32 and
was up 18 cents during the past week,
according to the AAAs Daily Fuel
Gauge.
Analysts said it was poised to quickly
soar past $4.37 a gallon the high so
far this year after renery outages
and pipeline problems left the state short
on supplies. The highest average price
ever for regular gasoline in the state was
$4.61 in 2008.
Among the recent disruptions, an Aug.
6 re at a Chevron Corp. renery in
Richmond left one of the regions largest
reneries producing at a reduced capac-
ity. A power failure in Southern
California has affected an Exxon Mobil
Corp. renery, and a Chevron pipeline
that moves crude to Northern California
was also shut down.
Elsewhere, the national average for
gas is $3.78 a gallon, the highest ever for
this time of year. However, gas prices in

Chicago police find
about 1,500 pot plants in city
CHICAGO In Chicago, a bustling
urban metropolis where skyscrapers are
as likely to sprout up as anything a farmer
might plant, someone decided there was
just enough room to grow something a lit-
tle more organic: Marijuana.
The plants grew even taller than the
tallest Chicago Bulls. However, just days
before the crop on a chunk of land the
size of two football elds would have
been ready to harvest, a police ofcer and
county sheriffs deputy in a helicopter
spotted it as they headed back to their
hangar about three miles away.
On Wednesday, a day after the discov-
ery of the largest marijuana farm anyone
at the police department can remember,
ofcers became farmers for a day as they
began to chop down about 1,500 marijua-
na plants that police said could have
earned the growers as much as $10 mil-
lion.
No arrests had been made as of
Wednesday, and police were still trying to
determine who owns the property that
housed the grow site on the citys far
South Side. But police said they were
hopeful that because of the size of the
operation, informants or others might
provide tips about those involved, includ-
ing a man seen running from the area as
the helicopter swooped low.
James OGrady, the commander of the
departments narcotics division, said
theyve never seen anything like it before,
in part because Chicagos harsh winters
mean growers have a lot less time to
plant, grow and harvest marijuana than
their counterparts in less inclement places
such as California and Mexico. The
bumper crop was likely planted in spring,
OGrady said.
Add to that the urban sprawl: there are
few spots in Chicago where such an oper-
ation could go unnoticed because of all
the buildings, roads and residents. The
growers took pains to ensure their crop
was largely hidden by a canopy of trees
and surrounding vegetation.
Somebody put a lot of thought into it,
OGrady said. But they probably didnt
anticipate the helicopter.
Tribble-naming contest
marks Archives Month
CHEYENNE, Wyo. Anybody who
doesnt think this is the cutest little news
story of the day must be a Klingon.
The American Heritage Center at the
University of Wyoming is holding a
Name the Tribble contest. The idea is
to promote American Archives Month
and show people that archives arent just
repositories of musty old documents
they can be home to cool stuff, too.
Such as a tribble, a small creature from
the Star Trek television series. The
American Heritage Center houses items
donated by several celebrities including
the late Forrest J. Ackerman, a science
ction publisher credited with inventing
the term sci-.
Ackerman had no ties to Wyoming but
years ago donated many boxes of manu-
scripts, photographs, movie stills, corre-
spondence, books, movie posters and
artifacts including a tribble from the Star
Trek set.
A tribble is a little furball-type thing.
It looks like a hairy softball that is very
soft and cushy, said Lander journalist
Ernie Over, who was Star Trek creator
Gene Roddenberrys personal assistant
from 1985 to 1990.
Tribbles have no arms, legs, heads or
even eyes. The idea was to mass-produce
them as simply as possible, Over said.
In the famous 1967 Star Trek episode
that rst featured tribbles, the prolic
creatures multiplied and overran the
Enterprise until Montgomery Scotty
Scott beamed them onto a Klingon ship.
Ha-ha: Klingons despise tribbles. And
tribbles hiss when they encounter Star
Treks best-known bad guys.
Tribbles are sought-after Star Trek sou-
venirs nowadays. Archivist and Trekkie
Keith Reynolds said he couldnt resist
running around with the furball when he
found it in the Ackerman collection.
The people who had no idea what it
was, they were completely grossed out.
They thought it was a toupee, he said.
Or some dead animal.

A schizophrenic man previously commit-
ted as incompetent to stand trial on murder
charges will remain in a state mental facility
as part of a deal with prosecutors in which
he admitted stabbing a fellow client at a San
Carlos vocational center nearly eight years
ago.
Vitin Ajani Cruz, 38, pleaded no contest to
second-degree murder and using a knife
while prosecutors agreed he is not guilty by
reason of insanity based on doctors conclu-
sions. Cruz, who has been housed in a
locked psychiatric facility while awaiting
trial, will be formally recommitted at a Nov.
16 hearing.
Cruz spent several years in and out of a
state mental facility after being arrested for
the Oct. 27, 2004 stabbing of Alfonso Ruiz
at Vocational Rehabilitation Services on
Quarry Road in San Carlos.
According to prosecutors, Cruz mistook
Ruiz for another man as they sat next to each
other at the center and suddenly lunged at
him with a knife. Ruiz
was stabbed several times
in the upper torso and
arm. Cruz fled but was
arrested a few blocks
away from the site. Ruiz
died the following after-
noon.
Defense attorney Vince
OMalley did not return a
call for comment on the
settlement but has previously said Cruz has a
deep fear of being stabbed because he was
left with severe stomach wounds several
years before the murder during a bus attack
in San Francisco. Cruz thought Ruiz was
somehow associated with his previous
attackers and possibly armed with a box cut-
ter, according to OMalley.
Schizophrenia medication and other signs
of psychiatric problems were found at
Cruzs home during a police search after the
stabbing.
Before he could be tried, Cruz was
deemed incompetent by two of three court-
appointed doctors and committed in March
2005. Three years later, he returned to San
Mateo County but was rehospitalized that
July. After three years, he was placed under
a Murphy conservatorship which gives the
San Mateo County Public Guardian the
authority to make decisions on his behalf.
He has since been at the locked psychiatric
facility Crestwood Behavioral Health Center
near Calistoga.
Last November, doctors concluded his
competency was restored. OMalley did not
contest the finding but Cruz later entered
twin pleas of not guilty and not guilty by
reason of insanity.
Competency is a persons ability to aid in
his or her own defense while sanity is a per-
sons mental state at the time of an alleged
act.
If Cruz had been convicted of murder and
found sane, he faced up to 26 years in
prison.

A Brisbane man contacted by police for a
domestic disturbance had a locked closet
lled with 145 pounds of explosives, a pound
of marijuana and $37,000 in cash, according
to prosecutors who charged him with four
felonies.
William Myles Harrell, 46, pleaded not guilty
yesterday to possession of explosives, posses-
sion of explosives in a residence, possession of
marijuana for sale and child endangerment.
Police arrested Harrell Monday night after
responding to a call at the home he shared
with his girlfriend and her two children on the
100 block of Cliff Swallow Court. Authorities
found no cause to arrest Harrell for the distur-
bance and he was set to leave in a taxi for the
night until the girlfriend asked ofcers to fol-
low her back inside. She told them Harrell
kept a closet locked but she had a key made
and grew concerned for her childrens safety
once she discovered the contents, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Inside the closet, police reported nding
145 pounds of explosives, mainly dynamite, a
pound of marijuana and $37,000 in cash.
The amount of explosives could have
blown up the whole block, Wagstaffe said.
Authorities are still investigating why
Harrell had the explosives stockpiled.
On Thursday, after entering his plea, Harrell
did not waive his right to a speedy trial and set
a preliminary hearing for Oct. 18.
If convicted, he is facing nine to 10 years,
Wagstaffe said.
He remains in custody in lieu of $500,000
bail.

The father accused of taking his children
from South San Francisco and spiriting them
away on a stolen yacht last month pleaded not
guilty yesterday to a number of felonies
including kidnapping and child endanger-
ment.
Christopher Maffei, who punctuated an ear-
lier court appearance with an outburst about
protecting his children from abuse, returns to
court Nov. 20 for a prelim-
inary hearing and remains
in custody on $500,000
bail.
On Sept. 4, the 43-year-
old man allegedly took his
3-year-old daughter and 2-
year-old son from their
mothers South San

away on a yacht hed
stolen from an Alameda marina. Authorities
located the 41-foot boat, which had run out of
fuel and, after hours of monitoring, the Coast
Guard escorted the vessel into Santa Cruz har-
bor.
The children were unharmed and Maffei
was taken into custody.
As Maffei took the children, his ex-girl-
friend and the childrens mother was at the

S.F. archbishop jokes

I know in my life God has always had a

The state has not gone far enough in reining
in unwieldy pension obligations but state
Assembly candidate George Yang has a plan
that will distribute the pain not just to new pub-
lic employees but for those who have already
retired or in the system now.
The Legislature just passed pension reform
measures endorsed by Gov. Jerry Brown that
affects new hires only. The state will not reap
the benets for 10 to 15 years, Yang said.
His plan, introduced at a press conference in
Burlingame yesterday, calls for tying retirement
benets to the average median income of all
workers in the state based on the unemployment
rate.
Yang is running for the District 24 Assembly
seat against current Assemblyman Rich
Gordon, a Menlo Park Democrat.
Yang, also from Menlo Park, proposes a cap
on pensions that will affect all state and munic-
ipal employees, whether they have already
retired, are about to retire or are currently in the
system.
Yang wants to do away with a two-tier system
that will only affect the benets for new public
employee hires and put a program in place that
will affect all public employees.
He has developed a public employee com-
pensation index that ties salaries to the current
unemployment rate to calculate retirement ben-
ets. He wants to link a new employees retire-
ment age to the states current life expectancy,
excluding public safety employees.
He also wants to link the performance of the
California Pension Employees Retirement
System to member payments to give public
employees greater incentive to pick a CalPERS
board member who has the know-how to invest
the pension funds.
Currently, he said, investors are playing fast
and loose with what he calls other peoples
money.
The state, he said, has an unfunded pension
liability approaching $300 billion that will even-
tually hurt local govern-
ment the most.
A city manager, for
instance, should not retire
with a $250,000 annual
retirement package, he said.
While the Legislature
recently passed a pension
reform measure, many
Democrats in ofce said
much more needs to be
done to rein in the costs,
including Gordon.
The state got in this mess because lawmakers
made mistakes in the past when revenue was
high, Gordon told the Daily Journal in August
after he voted for Assembly Bill 340.
We made decisions based on assumptions
that revenue was continually growing, Gordon
told the Daily Journal then.
The states current pension obligations are off
the chart, he said.
Weve moved the curve. Some will say not
enough and others will say too much but the
important thing is that we moved the curve,
Gordon said in August. And we are not done.
For his part, Yang told the Daily Journal at
yesterdays press conference that he is not a
union buster.
Im a union household, he said.
His wife is a public employee.
A pension cap will immediately reduce
unfunded pension liabilities not just for the state
but also for all cities and counties as well as
other public agencies, Yang said.
He also has a plan to tie salaries and pensions
to the current state of the economy, whether it is
a boom year or a lean year, he said.
The system in place now, he said, causes
cities to lay off workers so that some employees
can hold on to their hefty retirement packages.
His plan, he said, will protect union jobs by
requiring across-the-board cuts for all public
employees in lean years.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER Buoyed by a pow-
erful debate showing, Mitt Romney
said Thursday he offers prosperity
that comes through freedom to a
country struggling to shed a weak
economy. President Barack Obama
accused the former Massachusetts
governor of running from his own
record in pursuit of political power.
Both men unleashed new attack
ads in the battleground states in a
race with little more than a month
to run, Obama suggesting Romney
couldnt be trusted with the presi-
dency, and the Republican accusing
the president of backing a large tax
increase on the middle class.
The debate reached 67.2 million
viewers, an increase of 28 percent
over the first debate in the 2008
presidential campaign. The meas-
urement and information company
Nielsen said Thursday that 11 net-
works provided live coverage of
the debate.
Romney said
in an interview
with Fox News
on Thursday
night that had he
been asked dur-
ing their debate
about his 47
p e r c e n t
remarks that
caused a stir when they cropped up
last month, he would have
acknowledged that he had been
just completely wrong. It was a
turnabout from his early defense of
the remarks he had called them
not elegantly stated in which
he disparaged the nearly half of
Americans who dont pay federal
income taxes. He had said they see
themselves as victims and are
unwilling to take responsibility for
their lives.
Well, clearly in a campaign,
with hundreds if not thousands of
speeches and question-and-answer
sessions, now and then youre going
to say something that doesnt come
out right, Romney told Fox News.
In this case, I said something thats
just completely wrong. And I
absolutely believe, however, that
my life has shown that I care about
100 percent and thats been demon-
strated throughout my life. And this
whole campaign is about the 100
percent.
Not even Democrats disputed
that Romney was likely to benefit
politically from the debate
Wednesday night in which he
aggressively challenged Obamas
stewardship of the economy and
said his own plans would help pull
the country out of a slow-growth
rut.
Still, there was no immediate
indication that the race would
expand beyond the nine battle-
ground states where the rivals and
their running mates spend nearly
all of their campaign time and
advertising dollars.
Romney:Victory is in sight after first debate
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. His per-
formance panned, President
Barack Obama is changing his
debate strategy against Republican
Mitt Romney, aides conceding the
president must nd a crisper way
to sell his agenda and counter his
opponent without getting lost in
the weeds.
The heart of Obamas new mes-
sage with less than ve weeks to
go: Romney is a liar.
Expect that theme expressed
in softer terms from the president
than from his aides to drive
Obamas advertising and messag-
ing for days. Wednesday nights
debate showed Obama was rusty,
rambling and cautious, but his
aides insist he emerged with a real
opening to target Romneys asser-
tions.
Gov. Romney may dance
around his positions, but if you
want to be president, you owe the
American people the truth,
Obama declared in his rst post-
debate appearance, a Thursday
rally in Denver. He displayed an
energy that was
conspicuously
absent in the
debate.
The new line
of argument is
based on the
Obama cam-
paigns con-
tention that
Romney, while
sharp and commanding on the
debate stage, delivered a series of
statements that dont stand up to
factual scrutiny. They singled out
Romneys positions on tax cuts,
education and outsourcing as mis-
leading to the middle class.
David Plouffe, the Obama White
House adviser who ran his 2008
campaign, called Romneys per-
formance probably unprecedent-
ed in its dishonesty.
Obamas campaign quickly
released an ad raising questions
about Romneys honesty, arguing
that he didnt level with middle-
class families on how his tax plan
would affect them. If we cant
trust him here, how could we ever
trust him here? the ad says.
After debate, Obama
signals adjustments

Man wanted
for exposing himself
Police are on the lookout for a
man driving a dark colored four-
door sedan who exposed himself to
a Central Middle School student
who was walking home in San
Carlos Thursday afternoon.
At approximately 3:28 p.m., sher-
iffs patrol units responded to the
the area after the 12-year-old report-
ed the man slowed down in the road
near her and exposed himself. The
student turned around and returned
to the schools ofce to report the
incident, according to police. The
vehicle was last seen heading west
on Arroyo Avenue.
The man was described as white
or Hispanic, 20 or 30 years old,
wearing a black short sleeved shirt,
blue jeans and having a buzz type
haircut. He was also described as
Chubby. There was also a child,
approximately 6 years of age, sitting
in a car seat in the back seat of the
vehicle, according to police.

Rally slows traffic on Third Avenue
Approximately 50 residents from San
Mateos Baywood Neighborhood took to the
streets with neon-colored signs telling driv-
ers to slow down the week of Oct. 5, 2007.
The peaceful rally was organized by the
neighborhood association in response to
what residents saw as an increasing problem
on West Third Avenue speeding. The city
Department of Public Works and the Police
Department installed minor trafc calming
measures since the construction of public
library more than a year prior, but residents
said it has not stopped speeders.
Belmont race takes strange turn
The already awkward Belmont City
Council election took another twist the week
of Oct. 5, 2007 with David Braunstein
announcing that he was, in fact, running an
active campaign after telling supporters he
would not seek a seat.
Braunstein qualied for a spot on the bal-
lot in August 2007. By the end of that
month, Braunstein announced he would not
run an active campaign, citing family issues.
He encouraged people to vote for other can-
didates even though his name would appear
on the ballot. Then, the week of Oct. 5,
2007, Braunstein changed his mind, again,
and announced he was ready to run an active
campaign.
I have received overwhelming support
from many voters, who have indicated that
they would still be voting for me, as I have
always been a qualied candidate with a
statement on the ballot, Braunstein wrote in
a statement. Given this support, and some
resolution of my personal issues, I am
declaring at this time that I will campaign,
and if elected, am committed to serving the
ofce of Belmont City Council to the best of
my ability.

O
verseeing the nances of a $1.9 bil-
lion operation is not a task for an
amateur or one who has merely the
base level of accounting experience.
Neither is it a political position. And that is
what San Mateo County ofcials seek to
remedy with Measure C, which would
change the county charter to shift the con-
troller position from an elected one to an
appointed one.
The position currently states that a con-
troller must meet at least one of several crite-
ria: be a certied public accountant, hold a
baccalaureate degree in accounting or its
equivalent and not less than three years expe-
rience within the last ve years in a senior
management position in a public agency, pri-
vate rm or nonprot organization.
The county has had good luck in recent
years with the long tenures of former con-
trollers Tom Huening and Gerry Trias before.
The position is now held by Bob Adler, who
was appointed to ll the mid-term vacancy of
Huening. However, with only a base level of
qualications, there is a chance an election
could provide the county with a controller
without the needed experience to best handle
the wide range of activities such a position
requires. With this charter change, being a
professional internal auditor or having expe-
rience as a county auditor would not be suf-
cient. Instead, the controller would have
knowledge of public administrative principles
and practices, budgeting, scal administra-
tion, employee relations and management in
a public setting. The idea is to bring the posi-
tion into line with those who would largely
serve as the chief nancial ofcer and auditor
for a large-scale operation with several criti-
cal and complicated departments such as the
Health System that must constantly adapt to
new rules and mandates. It also can be seen
as a rst step toward consolidating the coun-
tys nancial positions into one which is a
key goal in a time when nding such ef-
ciencies is paramount.
More importantly, however, is that having
a professional auditor in the county govern-
ment system will ensure the best use of the
publics money in all departments and that
service can also be provided to other agen-
cies including special districts with
such a need.
With the charter change, voters will lose
what could be perceived as an independent
voice in county government answerable to
the electorate and not the Board of
Supervisors and the county manager. That
safeguard, however, is replaced with restric-
tions on how someone in this person could
be let go. It would take a four-fths vote of
the board and the agreement of the county
manager to remove the appointed controller.
The position would also be limited to two
six-year terms so there would not be a sense
of go along to get along. The person who
would take this position would know there is
a nite time period for his or her work which
would promote fresh thinking and allow for
new sets of eyes every six to 12 years. And
by taking the politics out of the equation,
there is more time for the details of the job.
There is a level of independence that
would be lost without having the voters
choose, however, the safeguards in place are
sturdy and there is too much upside in creat-
ing an appointed controller with advanced
skills to contend with a weighty, complicated
and ever-changing county government sys-
tem. Vote yes on Measure C.
Road users must follow guidelines
to accommodate everyone
Editor,
In looking for ways to enhance or initiate
safe transportation infrastructure amenities
and to ensure the right to travel as legitimate
street trafc, many bicycle advocates joined
organizations, attended public agency meet-
ings and wrote letters to elected ofcials. As
the success of these efforts has served to pro-
mote more documented everyday bicycle
usage, it has also brought the unintended
consequence of increased friction among the
user groups of motorists, pedestrians and
bicyclists. Bicyclists who pay no heed to the
vehicle code, undermine all the hard effort
put forth to provide better bicycle accommo-
dation. Although most bicyclists ride safely
and lawfully, there remain enough two-
wheeled scofaws on our streets and side-
walks who continue to underscore the notion
that Bikes dont belong.
Bike San Mateo County has authored The
Courteous Road Users Guide to provide
guidelines for all road users on how best to
accommodate everyone. The intent of the
guide is to provide a simple educational blue-
print to encourage individual responsibility to
meet the social and codied obligations that
all must undertake to ensure that our public
thoroughfares retain and continue to maintain
safe accommodation for every user.

Palestinian American Nidal Malik Hasan,

Proposition 34
Editor,
In her column Those Pesky
Propositions, in the Oct. 1 edition of the
Daily Journal, Sue Lempert expounds on the
death penalty and refers readers to Chekhov
to answer the moral dilemma, but she leaves
out some important facts. First, she worries
that life in prison without parole will be
expensive. That is true; however, it costs
$130 million less than the death penalty.
Lempert is correct to point out that we have
only executed 13 people since the death
penalty was reinstated in 1978 more
inmates have died of old age and natural
causes. What a waste of money! As for
improving the process, she neglects to
mention that 140 people have been exonerat-
ed from death rows all over the country.
John Grishams The Innocent Man is an
eye opening account of this situation and we
are at serious risk of executing an innocent
person in California. Proposition 34 would
keep killers behind bars until they die, while
freeing up money that could be spent for
better things and eliminating the risk of exe-
cuting an innocent person. This is justice
that works for everyone.
I dont need to read The Bet to know
how Im going to vote in November YES
on 34 all the way.

Editor,
I was listening to Republican vice presi-
dential nominee Paul Ryan singing the same
song as Mitt Romney about the 47 percent
of voters in the United States being on the
public dole. If Ryan and Romney want my
vote, here is my deal. Like Grover Nordquist
having the Republicans sign a no increase in
taxes pledge, when the R&R boys get 100
percent of the Republicans in the House and
Senate to sign a pledge waiving their federal
retirement and when they leave ofce, I will
vote for them. Thats the Republican mantra
that I have been hearing for several days,
now lets have them show some leadership
and back up their own words.

Kenosha (Wis.) News
N
ow that the housing market has
started to recover a little bit, more
people are looking at the role tax
policy might have had in the housing bub-
ble that burst several years ago and dragged
the nations economy into a recession.
The average taxpayer gets $559 from the
tax deduction for mortgage interest, accord-
ing to the Tax Policy Institute
Of course, the bigger your mortgage, the
bigger your potential interest deduction.
There actually is a ceiling on the size of a
mortgage that qualifies for this tax subsidy,
but its absurdly high: $1.1 million. That
high a ceiling is only a limiting factor for
the highest income earners, the ones who
qualify to borrow that much money. For
most of the housing market, there is no
ceiling on the size of a mortgage that quali-
fies for favorable tax treatment.
The Obama administration is reportedly
considering a proposal to drop the mort-
gage interest deduction for those whose
incomes are higher than $250,000. The
effect on the budget deficit of that proposal
would not be very significant, according to
some analyses.
It also wouldnt be fair. If national policy
intends to support home ownership with a
tax deduction, the benefit should apply to
everyone.
A better way to change the disproportion-
ate mortgage-interest benefit now available
to wealthy taxpayers is to limit the size of
the mortgages that qualify. The current
limit could be gradually reduced over a
period of years to a more reasonable limit
that could vary with regional housing mar-
kets. San Franciscos housing market is
expensive compared to Kenoshas, so the
limits shouldnt be the same.
Eliminating the mortgage interest deduc-
tion would be a big bite out of tax policy,
and it might not be a proposal that could
generate much support, but candidates keep
saying we should have a simpler tax code.
Couldnt we at least take a baby step?

W
ith just a little more than one
month remaining before the
Nov. 6 general election, it is
more important than ever that voters pay
attention to the information theyre getting
as well as the source that it comes from.
It is impossible to watch television or
browse the Internet without being bombard-
ed by political ads. Most citizens have been
getting propaganda in the mail nearly each
day. Chain letter emails spread like wild-
fire, often containing only half-truths and
one-sided presentations of information that
is taken out of context.
Of course the political campaigns them-
selves are doing their part to always put a
positive spin out there for their candidate,
and not just at the presidential level.
The point is, citizens must educate them-
selves and pay close attention to the infor-
mation theyre given, where it comes from
and who stands to gain from it.
The truth is hidden somewhere in the
political spin and propaganda, but voters
will have to be smart in seeking it.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK An encouraging
report on the labor market and better
sales from Costco and other retail stores
helped push the stock market higher
Thursday.
The government said that 367,000
Americans sought unemployment bene-
ts for the rst time last week. Thats an
increase from the previous week but
fewer than economists had forecast.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 80.75 points to close at
13,575.36. Aluminum giant Alcoa led
the 30 stocks in the Dow with a 3.3 per-
cent surge, rising 29 cents to $9.07.
Its not just the jobless claims num-
bers on their own, said Brian Gendreau,
market strategist at Cetera Financial
Group. Theyre coming on the back of
... manufacturing and service-sector
reports that were better than people
expected this week.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
climbed 10.41 points to 1,461.40. The
Nasdaq composite rose 14.23 points to
3,149.46.
The job-market report helped drive the
yield on the benchmark 10-year
Treasury note up to 1.67 percent from
1.62 percent late Wednesday. Traders
tend to sell Treasurys following better
economic news.
The Commerce Department said that
orders to U.S. factories came in better
than forecasts, even though the 5.2 per-
cent drop in orders was the biggest in
more than three years.
Costco and other retail chain stores
reported September sales that came in
ahead of Wall Streets estimates. Costco
gained $1.86 to $101.48. Target rose 56
cents to $63.65.
The stock market barely moved fol-
lowing the release of the Federal
Reserves minutes from its meeting last

NEW YORK More than a billion
people now log into Facebook each
month to check up on old friends, tag
photos of new ones and post about poli-
tics, religion, cats or what their kids are
doing.
Thats double the 500 million it hit in
July 2010 what now seems like a life-
time but was a little more than two years
ago. August 2008 marked another big
juncture, 100 million users.
The latest milestone also amounts to
nearly half of the worlds roughly 2.5
billion Internet users, as measured by the
International Telecommunications
Union.
So who are these people?
Most of them 81 percent live
outside of the U.S. and Canada. Many of
them log in on mobile devices rather
than personal computers, and the com-
pany now has 600 million mobile users.
The people joining now are young,
with a median age of 22. It was 23 in
2010 and 26 in 2008 and 2007. Most of
them are from Brazil, India, Indonesia,
Mexico and the United States. They are
unlikely to be from China, the worlds
most populous country and home to its
largest Internet population. And millions
of them are not actual people. Facebook
acknowledged in August that 8.7 percent
of its then-955 million users may be
duplicate or false accounts. At that rate,
as many as 87 million accounts are fake.
As expected, the longer users are on
Facebook, the more friends they have
on the site. A user who signed up two
years ago has an average of 305 friends.
Someone who signed up in December
2005, when Facebook had nearly 6 mil-
lion users, now has nearly 600 friends,
on average.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg marked the
milestone on his Facebook page, as he
has in the past when the sites users hit
nice round numbers.
If youre reading this: thank you for
giving me and my little team the honor
of serving you, he wrote. Helping a
billion people connect is amazing, hum-
bling and by far the thing I am most
proud of in my life.
But he acknowledged in a Today
show interview that the company is
going through a difcult patch.
Were in a tough cycle now and that
doesnt help morale, but people are
focused on what theyre building, he
told Matt Lauer during the interview.
The Menlo Park, California-based
companys stock never recovered from a
botched initial public offering in May, at
one point seeing its value slashed in half
by shareholders who dont think its
increasing revenue fast enough, espe-
cially from its fast-growing mobile user
base.

WASHINGTON The September
jobs report that arrives Friday, a month
before the presidential election, will like-
ly sketch a dual picture: The job market
continues to heal. Yet its far from full
health.
No incumbent since Franklin
Roosevelt has faced re-election with
unemployment so high. The rate was 8.1
percent in August, up from 7.8 percent
when President Barack Obama took
ofce in January 2009. Economists pre-
dict that the rate reached 8.2 percent in
September, according to a survey by
FactSet.
It would be the 44th straight month in
which unemployment has topped 8 per-
cent.
Still, the job market has been improv-
ing, sluggishly but steadily. Jobs have
been added for 23 straight months. There
are now 125,000 more than when Obama
took ofce. Economists predict 111,000
more were added in September.
The administrations defenders argue
that Obama shouldnt be held account-
able for job losses early in his term.
When he became president in the midst
of the Great Recession, the job market
was collapsing. In January 2009, the
economy lost 818,000 jobs, the grimmest
showing since 1949. In the rst four
months of his presidency, 3 million jobs
vanished.
Obamas economic prescriptions, par-
ticularly an $862 billion stimulus plan,
didnt kick in until months after his inau-
guration.
Since bottoming in February 2010, the
economy has added about 4.4 million
jobs. And private companies have added
more than 5 million a gure the White
House likes to emphasize.
But job gains in the private sector have
been partly blunted by layoffs by state
and local governments.
And as voters prepare to decide
whether to back Obama or his
Republican challenger, Mitt Romney,
many of the job markets vital signs are
faint:

The real fun is about to begin.
And just like with any other party,
its always a good thing to be well
rested. Both Burlingame High School
and Sacred Heart Prep head into
Fridays Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division opener with the luxury
of a bye week behind them. And
depending on who you talk to, thats
either a good thing, or a not-so-great
thing.
I was a very nervous about that,
said SHP head coach Peter Lavorato.
Theres always a concern when you
dont play getting back, its like
playing the rst game of the year. But
I think the kids will be OK. They
know how good Burlingame is we
have to come out ready to play against
team like that.
First and foremost, we wanted to
get healthy, said Burlingame head
coach John Philipopoulos when asked
about this Panthers main objective
during the week off. Get our kids
mentality focused. It was just a lot of
mental reps. Having that extra week is
denitely a nice thing going into the
rst league game.
The Daily Journal Game of the
Week, set for 3 p.m. kickoff at SHP,
isnt without its fair share of story
lines. While the main objective will be
to start the PAL schedule with a win,
the Panthers head into the contest
knowing they can be the rst team this
season to hand SHP a loss.
Theyre very good, Philipopoulos
said of the 4-0 Gators. They do an
outstanding job down there on both
sides of the ball. Theyre very explo-
sive on the offensive side of the ball.
They score in bunches. Defensively,
they do a tremendous job as well
scheme-wise and just pursuing the
football.

Hillsdale (0-0, 0-4) at
El Camino (0-0, 2-2), 3 p.m.
The Colts destroyed Jefferson last
week, 54-0. The Knights are coming
off a bye. They were pummeled by
Alameda two weeks ago, 34-14.
While the nal score looks bad,
Hillsdale actually improved defen-
sively. After giving up 128 points in
their rst three games, the Knights
defense held Alameda to just two
offensive touchdowns.
Unfortunately, the Hornets turned
three Hillsdale turnovers into scores.
The Knights scored both of their
touchdowns through the air against
Alameda. Brandon Butcher scored
on a screen pass in the second quar-
ter and Giancarlo Boscacci also
scored on a screen pass, going 56
yards for the score. Since being
shut out in its opener, the El Camino
offense has been on a tear the last
three games, averaging 38.6 points
per game. The Colts 54 points
scored was the first time they
eclipsed the 50-point mark since
hanging 56 on Jefferson in 2005.
El Camino has owned this series
over the last decade, going 9-1
against Hillsdale. The Colts lone
loss to the Knights during that time
was 56-28 thrashing in 2009.

SANTA CLARA Greg Roman is giving
the rest of the NFL something extra to think
about it when its time to play the San Francisco
49ers.
Roman doesnt like to call them trick plays, but
the offensive coordinators creative play selection
last week sparked the 49ers to their most produc-
tive performance of the season during a 34-0 rout
of the New York Jets.
Mixing in a collection of well-timed reverses
and option plays and unveiling backup quarter-
back Colin Kaepernick as a new weapon, Roman
kept the New York defense off balance as San
Francisco set season highs in several offensive
categories.
It also served notice that more new wrin-
kles could be coming as the 49ers look to
expand their offense.
That could include more new contributors such
as running back Brandon Jacobs, who might play
for the rst time this season Sunday against the
Buffalo Bills.
After missing San Franciscos rst four games
with a knee injury, Jacobs is practicing this week
without limitations. Hes set to make his 49ers
debut against the Bills, adding another piece for
Roman to work into the NFLs third-ranked rush-
ing attack.
Roman did a pretty good job working in
Kaepernick and getting others involved last
week. Nine different San Francisco players had
at least one carry as the 49ers gained a season-
high 379 yards while rushing for 245 their
highest total in coach Jim Harbaughs two sea-
sons with the team.
The more guys we can get involved, the bet-
ter, Roman said Thursday.
Weve had different things
up every week and chose to
use it last week. But I dont
look at them as trick plays.
Theyre football plays. The
rules are the rules, and were
within the rules. I dont
know that we have trick
plays.
The 49ers used
Kaepernick effectively dur-
ing the handful of plays he was on the eld in
place of starting quarterback Alex Smith.
Kaepernick had a 17-yard run and a 7-yard
touchdown run out of the shotgun formation on
his rst two carries, then broke loose for a 30-
yard gain on his third carry.
He also forced the Jets to use a timeout mid-
way through the second quarter when
Kaepernick came out of the huddle and lined up
wide as a receiver.
That was one of several new looks by the
49ers, who also gained 28 yards on a reverse
play to receiver Mario Manningham, nine yards
on an option pitch to receiver Kyle Williams and
seven yards on a y sweep by receiver Ted Ginn
Jr.
Youve got to keep the defense guessing these
days, said Manningham, who joined the 49ers
this year as a free agent. Its good to have every-
body get the ball. Were trying to just make stuff
happen out there, just execute and get the right
play-calling and do what weve got to do with it.
Manningham has gained 57 yards on two
reverses this season after nishing with minus-10
yards on two reverses during his rst four NFL
seasons with the New York Giants.

PITTSBURGH Even with his surgically
repaired right knee still on the mend, the
Pittsburgh Steelers are nding ways to use
rookie offensive guard David DeCastro.
Hes been doing all the extra things all the
young guys are doing, joked offensive coor-
dinator Todd Haley.
Some of that includes ll-
ing the refrigerator for the
offensive line room, and
the chip bag and the snack
box and all those things.
All kidding aside, the
Steelers are pleased with
the progress their first-
round pick has made since
injuring his knee in a pre-
season win over Buffalo on Aug. 25. DeCastro
is walking without a brace and has been
cleared to work on the stationary bike, though
its still uncertain when hell make it back to
the practice eld.
I dont have any pain, so Im just working
hard to try to get back, DeCastro said.
Pittsburgh placed DeCastro on the newly
created Injured Reserve-Return list last
month, meaning the team could place him
back on the 53-man roster at some point in the
second half of the season.
Theres little doubt the Steelers could use
the former All-American at Stanford to give
the offensive line a little thump in the running
game. The Steelers (1-2) rank last in the NFL,
averaging 2.6 yards a carry.
Its tough for him to lose his rst year in
the NFL, guard Willie Colon said. He was a
projected starter coming out, so its been
tough. Obviously, to go down like that, it has
to be disappointing. But hes a head-strong
kid. He knows what it takes to get back on the
horse as soon as possible.
The reserved DeCastro has been a xture in
position meetings while undergoing rehab.
That work ethic has quickly won over some of
DeCastros veteran teammates.
He watches practice and goes through
walkthroughs, Colon said. So, thats a good
sign that hes here all the time. And hes still
part of the family, so we want to keep him
close.
The Steelers gured they made one of the
steals of the draft when they grabbed
DeCastro with the 24th overall pick in April.
Hes done little during his downtime to raise
any concerns about his commitment to the
game.
The key thing when you have an injury is
that you stay in the mix mentally, Haley said.
He is all football and this is what he does.
That was never really a worry to many of us.
While DeCastro will have to wait awhile
longer to make his season debut, the Steelers
believe the rushing attack will get a needed
boost on Sunday against the Eagles (3-1) on
starter Rashard Mendenhall returns.

Miguel Cabrera has his Triple Crown. MVP
award, maybe not.
Hold on, now. How could that be?
Mike Trout, thats how.
Its the hottest debate in baseball, seemingly
pitting old-school traditionalists against new-
age number crunchers in a bench-clearing
shouting match over what constitutes valu-
able.
At stake is the American Leagues Most
Valuable Player award, perhaps the games top
individual prize.
Cabrera capped an extraordinary season
Wednesday night by becoming the rst Triple
Crown winner in the majors since Bostons Carl
Yastrzemski in 1967. The Detroit Tigers slug-
ger led the league with a .330 batting average,
44 homers and 139 RBIs the standard statis-
tical categories by which excellence was com-
monly judged for the better part of the past cen-
tury.
If hes not the MVP then theres no such
thing, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.
Trout, however, made some history of his
own. Called up from the minors three weeks
into the season, the Los Angeles Angels rookie
quickly became a never-before-seen force prior
to his 21st birthday.
Possessing a unique combination of skills in
the concrete body of a running back, the
dynamic kid from New
Jersey did it all hitting
home runs and taking them
away with highlight-reel
catches high above the cen-
ter-eld fence.
Trout batted .326, second
to Cabrera, with 30 homers
and 83 RBIs. He also led
the majors with 49 stolen
bases (in 54 attempts) and
129 runs 20 more than Cabrera in 22 fewer
games. The slumping Angels were 6-14 when
they brought up Trout and went 83-59 the rest
of the way.
The rst big league rookie to reach 30 homers
and 40 steals in one season and the youngest
player with a 30-30 campaign, Trout struck out
41 more times than Cabrera but committed only
four errors in the outeld. Cabrera had 13 errors
after unselshly switching back to third base
when the Tigers signed rst baseman Prince
Fielder last winter.
Divide it in half, Yankees manager Joe
Girardi said. They both had sensational years.
That would be too easy. The hard part is mak-
ing a pick.
For anyone who thought winning the Triple
Crown would automatically anoint Cabrera the
MVP, take note of this: There have been nine
Triple Crown seasons since the MVP award
was introduced for each league in 1931. Four
times, the Triple Crown winner was beaten out
for MVP by a player on a
pennant winner.
Chuck Klein of the
Philadelphia Phillies lost to
New York Giants pitcher
Carl Hubbell in 1933.
Yankees slugger Lou
Gehrig was topped by
Detroit catcher Mickey
Cochrane the following
year. And then Bostons
Ted Williams, unpopular with certain writers,
fell short to Yankees second baseman Joe
Gordon (1942) and center elder Joe DiMaggio
(1947).
At the center of the argument this year is a
modern calculation called WAR (Wins Above
Replacement), a gure derived from an assort-
ment of other stats. WAR is designed to go
deeper than the conventional numbers in meas-
uring a players all-around contribution to team
success.
A worthwhile endeavor for sure, though
some think the formula is awed.
Leyland, for example, bemoaned that WAR
doesnt emphasize RBIs enough. Others believe
its the most complete and accurate appraisal of
a players true value.
Trout nished with a WAR number of 10.7,
best in the majors, according to baseball-refer-
ence.com. Cabrera was at 6.9, fourth in the
American League.
The discrepancy is almost ironic, considering
how the debate sometimes falls along genera-
tional lines. Trouts sizable advantage, of
course, is a result of his vastly superior defense
and baserunning both traditional fundamen-
tals long held in high regard by baseballs old
guard.
With reporters everywhere asking for opin-
ions as Cabrera chased the Triple Crown, it
seemed most managers and players favored
Cabrera for MVP. Front-ofce types often
pointed to Trout. Tigers teammates wore T-
shirts touting their guy.
In the end, the only people with the power to
decide it are the 28 members of the Baseball
Writers Association of America who have a
vote. And if recent history holds a clue, they
might lean toward Cabrera more because he
powered the Tigers to an AL Central title than
the fact that he ended the longest Triple Crown
drought in baseball history.
The Triple Crown is obviously a historic
achievement, but whether Cabrera gets it or not
shouldnt impact his standing in the MVP
race, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily
News, who has an AL MVP vote, said early
this week.
The fact that hes led the Tigers to the post-
season with a monster September should make
him a slight favorite over Trout, though Trout
will certainly still have plenty of support for his
incredible year. I think Detroits late-season
surge will be a bigger factor if Cabrera wins the
MVP than his run at the Triple Crown.

BOSTON The Boston Red Sox thought
Bobby Valentine would restore order to a cod-
dled clubhouse that disintegrated during the
2011 pennant race.
Instead, he only caused more problems.
The brash and supremely condent manager
was red on Thursday, the day after the nale
of a season beset with internal sniping and far
too many losses. Valentine went 69-93 in his
only year in Boston, the ballclubs worst in
almost 50 years.
I understand this decision, Valentine said in
a statement released by the team. This year in
Boston has been an incred-
ible experience for me, but
I am as disappointed in the
results as are ownership
and the great fans of Red
Sox Nation. ... Im sure
next year will be a turn-
around year.
A baseball savant who
won the NL pennant with
the New York Mets and
won it all in Japan,
Valentine was brought in after two-time World
Series champion Terry Francona lost control of
the clubhouse during an unprecedented
September collapse.
But the players who took advantage of
Franconas hands-off approach to gorge on
fried chicken and beer during games bristled at
Valentines abrasive style.
More importantly, they didnt win for him,
either.
We felt it was the right decision for that
team at that time, general manager Ben
Cherington said on Thursday in an interview at
Fenway Park. It hasnt worked out, because
the season has been a great disappointment.
Thats not on Bobby Valentine; thats on all of
us. We felt that in order to move forward and
have a fresh start, we need to start anew in the
managers ofce.
Under Valentine, the Red Sox started 4-10
and didnt break .500 until after Memorial Day.
By August, when the contenders were setting
their playoff roster, the Red Sox knew they
would not be among them and traded several of
their best players and biggest salaries to
the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Without Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford
and Josh Beckett, the Red Sox will save $250
million in future salaries and have a chance to
rebuild over the winter.
But that will be too late for Valentine.
We have gratitude for him, respect for him
and affection for him, and were not going to
get into what his inabilities were, what his
issues were, Red Sox president Larry
Lucchino said. I just dont think its fair.
Valentine one and done with Red Sox

the World Boxing Organizations No. 4 featherweight ghter
and is 18-2-1 with nine knockouts.
Cruz said he met with psychologists and others before mak-
ing the announcement, adding he has the full support of his
family, trainer and manager. He praised his mother and sister
for their unconditional love and said his father has always
backed him.
Like every father, he wants his son to be a full-blooded
man, Cruz said. But he is aware of my preference, my taste.
Few active professional athletes have come out. There has
yet to be an openly gay player in Major League Baseball, the
NBA or NFL.
Pedro Julio Serrano, spokesman for the U.S.-based National
Gay and Lesbian Task Force, praised Cruz for his decision and
said it breaks stereotypes that gay people are not involved in
sports like boxing.
It also gives a lot of hope to young gays who can see in him
the integrity and bravery to be who you are and face a society
that is often intolerant, especially in this type of sport, he said.
Reaction to Cruzs announcement was largely positive
across social media, with many praising him for taking what
they called a brave step given the sports violent history.
Among those who sent messages of support was Puerto Rican
singer Ricky Martin, who announced he was gay in 2010.
Some Twitter messages expressed concern for Cruzs safety
and wondered whether other boxers will be reluctant to ght
him. Dommys Delgado, president of the Boxing Commission
of Puerto Rico, brushed aside those comments.
Orlando has proven to be an excellent boxer with very good
chances of becoming a world champion, she said. We do
know that it is a very macho sport. Those who dont want to
ght with him, well, dont ght.
The only other professional boxer who was quoted as saying
that he had relations with men and women was U.S. Virgin
Islander Emile Grifth, who told The New York Times in 2005
that he struggled with his sexuality. His comments came
decades after he ended his 18-year career as a pro boxer.

per game. South Citys defense has been tough as usual this
season, allowing just under 20 points per game. The Warriors
offense, however, continues to be a work in progress as it aver-
ages less than 14 points per game. South City managed just
47 yards of offense in the rst half against M-A two weeks
ago. Dupra Goodmans touchdown late in the game was
South Citys rst touchdown since beating Capuchino 38-21
Sept. 7.
Aragon (0-0, 4-0) at Menlo-Atherton (0-0, 2-2), 7 p.m.
The Dons dominated Capuchino last week, winning 42-7.
The Bears had a bye last week. They beat South City 13-7 two
weeks ago. These two teams didnt face each other last year
as they were in different divisions. In the previous 10 meet-
ings, however, Aragon holds a 7-3 advantage. M-A hasnt
beaten Aragon since a 38-25 win in 2008. Aragon RB
Jordan Crisologo had a breakout game against Cap last week,
rushing for 142 yards and a score on just eight carries. QB
Nat Blood also continues to gain condence in the Dons pass-
ing game. He threw for 104 yards, but three of his eight com-
pletions went for touchdowns, including two to Aldo Severson.
Since rushing for 251 yards in a season-opening win over
El Camino, Menlo-Atherton has rushed for a combined 337
yards in its last three games granted against very good
defenses. Tasi Tau, once again, led the Bears ground attack,
nishing with 106 yards on 18 carries against South City.
M-A is averaging just over 21 points per game, compared to 40
for Aragon.

BEST
Menlo School (0-0, 4-0) at
Woodside (0-0, 2-2), 7 p.m.
The Knights crushed Mills last week,
40-0. The Wildcats whipped Carlmont,
27-6. Menlo cruised to a 48-7 win
over Woodside a year ago. Menlos
QB play has been one of optimizing their
opportunities. Jack Heneghan threw only
13 times last week, completing nine for
156 yards and two scores against Mills
last week. For the season, Heneghan is
27 for 47 for 518 yards and six touch-
downs. QB Matt Bradley has been
just as effective. Hes completed 21 of 38
passes for 357 yards and four TDs.
The Knights may be one of the most bal-
anced offenses in the PAL, despite being
known for the run-and-shoot offense.
The Knights have passed for 895 yards
this season and rushed for 632. As
good as the Knights offense has been,
their defense has been just as effective.
Theyre allowing an average of 13 points
per game. The most points the defense
has allowed this season is 24 to Santa
Cruz. Since losing its rst two games
by a combined score of 95-12, Woodside
has turned things around. The Wildcats
have combined to win their last two
games 52-13. Josh Holman had a
huge game for the Wildcats last week,
rushing for 147 yards and two touch-
downs on just seven carries. He had nine
carries for 66 yards in his two previous
games. As a team, the Wildcats are
averaging over 200 yards rushing per
game.
Carlmont (0-0, 1-3) at
San Mateo (0-0, 1-3), 7 p.m.
The Scots fell to Woodside last week,
27-6. The Bearcats picked up their rst
win of the season, beating Kings
Academy 27-7. In their last seven
meetings, San Mateo holds a 4-3 advan-
tage. Last year, Carlmont won 21-12.
Since scoring 33 points in its opener,
Carlmont has managed just 26 points the
last three games. San Mateos RB
Line Latu continues to get better as a
sophomore. He nished with 152 yards,
including a 73-yard touchdown run last
week. The QB-WR combo of Taylor
Sanft and Larry Campbell continues to
flourish for the Bearcats. Sanft has
passed for 695 yards, with Campbell
having caught 21 passes for 351 yards.
San Mateos 27 points represents the
largest output of the season for the
Bearcats.
Riordan (0-1, 3-1) at
Serra (1-0, 4-0), 7 p.m.
The Crusaders fell to Bellarmine 29-
10 last week. The Padres picked up a
huge 30-21 win over Mitty. Serra beat
Riordan 35-10 last year and holds an 8-2
advantage over the last 10 meetings.
The Padres had their second-highest
rushing output against Mitty last week,
nishing with 331 yards on the ground.
Their season high is 346 against Encinal
in Week 2. RB Eric Redwood rushed
for a season-high 202 yards and two TDs
on 20 carries. Redwood has nine touch-
downs this season. Angelo Arco was
the unsung hero for the Padres in the win
over Mitty. Arco had an 82-yard kickoff
return for a score and later broke off a
55-yard touchdown from scrimmage.
After opening the season with three
straight wins, Riordan was held to a sea-
son-low 10 points by Bellarmine last
week. The Crusaders are averaging
just over 200 yards of total offense for
the season. Despite the hype QB Zach
Masoli is generating, Riordan remains a
run-rst team. The Crusaders were held
to a season-low 112 yards rushing last
week, but that came off a 349-yard effort
against Mission-SF two weeks ago.
David Gunter has been Riordans bell-
cow back this year, having rushed for
355 yards this season. He was the focus
of the Bellarmine defense last week,
however, as he was held to just 41 yards
on 12 carries.
The Rest
Its denitely been the SHP defense that has
carried the Gators. In four games, Sacred
Heart Prep has allowed nine points and
theyre coming off back-to-back shutouts.
Our defense has been leading the way,
Lavorato said. I think this a really good
defense. Were not real big, but were pretty
quick and the kids get it. They understand the
concepts. Our foundation is our defense.
Yet, a case can be made against the compe-
tition SHP has faced. And without a doubt,
Burlingame will be the Gators stiffest com-
petitor to date.
We respect the teams that weve played,
Lavorato said. You still have to play well to
beat them, regardless of who they are. But, we
look at our league as our focal point. To me,
the league is the most difcult task, those are
the teams we have to be ready for.
Its a big game, Philipopoulos said. And
with so few league games, each one takes on
added importance. Whoever wins ... is a win
away from, basically clinching a playoff spot.
And thats kind of the approach were taking
that each league game is a CCS-type game
for us.
Burlingame used the bye week to get
healthy and its coaching staff used the time to
drill a key message into the Panthers: To win,
a complete game must be played especial-
ly against Bay competition.
Playing consistently for four quarters in all
three phases, Philipopoulos said. We
havent been able to do that. [SHP is] like a
machine. They get off the ball, they run hard,
they carry out fakes, they do everything right.
And if were going to have a chance to beat
them in their own backyard, were going to
have to match them execution-wise and be
ready to grind it out for four quarters in all
three phases.
We know how good Burlingame is,
Lavorato said. We know that Burlingame
thinks they can beat us, which is only right.
The kids know they have to come out and give
a great effort. Were going to compete. This is
a competitive group of kids and thats all you
can ask for.

teams big game: Ill let you know tomorrow.
Clearly, several sides to this debate.
Major League Baseball hoped to get more
clubs involved in postseason races, and the
Angels, Dodgers, Brewers, Rays and Pirates
were among those that enjoyed the chase this
year.
There also was some sentiment that wild-card
teams were getting it too easy and winning the
World Series too often, as the Cardinals did last
season. By adding an extra playoff club in each
league and then forcing it to play in a winner-
take-all game, it could make the path tougher.
Thats OK by Cardinals manager Mike
Matheny, whose team clinched the majors nal
playoff spot this year.
Were ecstatic. Wed be home right now.
Wed be spectators, so were exceptionally
happy about the format, he said.
The fact that we have to use up a pitcher, it
makes sense to me. I believe the team that wins
the division ought to have an advantage. I think
its been well done, he said.
On the other hand, a club that runs into the
wrong pitcher could be eliminated in a hurry.
I think for teams like Atlanta who had an
unbelievable year, and it could be ruined by one
game its probably unfair, Washington rst
baseman Adam LaRoche said.
Now, in one game, any given day, a college
team could beat a big league team. Its just the
way the ball rolls. So I dont know how much
one game proves as far as who deserves to move
on, he said. You almost have to do it two out
of three. But then you get other teams sitting
around for a week. So I dont know the right
way to do it.
Braves second baseman Dan Uggla isnt a fan.
Im not for this new playoff thing at all, he
said. Theyre kind of messing things up for
everybody.
This could be the last game for Ugglas star
teammate, with Jones set to retire at age 40.
Orioles All-Star center elder Adam Jones
also is in jeopardy. His team returns to the post-
season for the rst time since 1997, but could be
ousted before it gets a home playoff game.
Im sure there are some people in Baltimore
that are frustrated. Of course you want Camden
Yards rocking, he said.
This is the situation we put ourselves in.
Were happy to be in the situation, and were
going to take full advantage of the opportunity,
he said.
This is not the rst time a whole season has
come down to one game.
Baseball history is lled with thrilling one-
game playoffs the Bucky Dent home run in
1978, Matt Holliday heading home in the 13th
inning in 2007, among others. But those came
about naturally, tiebreakers forced by nal-day
developments.
Minnesotas Ron Gardenhire is the only per-
son to manage two one-game division tiebreak-
ers, losing 1-0 to the Chicago White Sox in
2008, then beating Detroit 6-5 in 12 innings the
following year.
When we won Game 163 against Detroit,
that was probably one of the funnest times Ive
had on a baseball eld, he said. After every-
thing youve been through to go and play and get
one chance and lose 1-0 was really heartbreak-
ing.
And youre going to see that this year. You go
through a whole big battle like theyve gone
through down the end with every game, every
inning, every pitch meaning something and then
you get one game? Somebody is going to go,
We did all that for this?
The NFL is set up for one-and-dones. The
NBA and NHL play a series in the postseason.
So did baseball best-of-ve, best-of-seven
until adding this mini-round.
I wish it was a three-game playoff, Miami
Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said. Ive
clinched and I wait for you and you just got here,
and one game, anybody can win, and Im done?
I wish they would cut the season to 159 and play
three games. A lot of people would love that.
Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria
agreed that one game makes things difcult. Yet
after the Rays were eliminated in the nal days,
hed gladly trade places with Texas or
Baltimore.
Id take their situation over ours any day.
Theyre in the postseason, he said.

Abortion rights yacht
sails around Moroccan port
SMIR, Morocco Moroccan
police Thursday escorted from its
waters a small yacht carrying
womens rights activists claiming to
be able to perform abortions on
board, after anti-abortion protesters
jeered them on land.
The Dutch group Women on
Waves sailed the boat around the
northern Moroccan harbor with ban-
ners advertising an information hot-
line about abortion, which is illegal in
most cases in this North African
country.
A day earlier, the group had said
that a ship that can provide safe,
legal, medical abortions up until 6.5
weeks of pregnancy was on its way
from the Netherlands. Medical pro-
fessionals have traveled before to
European nations to raise awareness;
the groups founder said that abor-
tions had been performed aboard ship
in international waters off of Poland.

The ght for leadership could par-
alyze the Al-Nour Party, which rock-
eted out of nowhere to become
Egypts second most powerful politi-
cal force, behind the Muslim

AKCAKALE, Turkey Turkey
sanctioned further military action
against Syria on Thursday and bom-
barded targets across the border
with artillery for a second day, rais-
ing the stakes in a conict that
increasingly is bleeding outside
Syrian territory.
Although both sides moved to
calm tensions, Turkeys parliament
overwhelmingly approved a bill
allowing the military to conduct
cross-border operations into Syria
making clear that Ankara has
military options that do not involve
its Western or Arab allies.
It was the most dramatic escala-
tion in tensions between the coun-
tries, which were close allies before
the revolt against Syrian President
Bashar Assad began in March 2011.
Over the past 18 months, however,
Turkey has become one of the
strongest critics of the Syrian
regime, accusing it of savagery and
massacres against the opposition.
The rebels who are trying to bring
down Assad have used Turkey as
their base, enraging a regime that
accuses foreign countries of
fomenting the unrest inside Syria.
The spark for the latest hostility
was a mortar shell red from Syria
that slammed into a house in the
Turkish border village of Akcakale
on Wednesday, killing two women
and three children.
(The shell) hit my neighbor next
door. His wife, his children died,
villager Bakir Kutlugil told the
Associated Press. Now I worry
whether the next one will hit me or
my neighbor.
Mehmet Yasin, another villager,
said he feared Turkey will get drawn
into more violence. They are war-
ring over there anyway. Why should
we battle against anyone? he
asked.
The Turkish response to the
Syrian shelling was swift it red
salvos of artillery rounds inside
Syria, contacted its NATO allies and
convened Parliament for a vote
authorizing further cross-border
military operations if necessary.
The bill opens the way for unilat-
eral action by Turkeys armed
forces inside Syria. Turkey has used
a similar provision to repeatedly
attack suspected Kurdish rebel posi-
tions in northern Iraq.
Turkey authorizes military operations in Syria
By Eileen Sullivan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON A team of FBI
agents arrived in Benghazi, Libya, to
investigate the assault against the
U.S. Consulate and left after about 12
hours on the ground as the hunt for
those possibly connected to the attack
that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens
and three other Americans narrowed
to one or two people in an extremist
group, U.S. ofcials said Thursday.
Agents arrived in Benghazi before
dawn on Thursday and departed after
sunset, after weeks of waiting for
access to the crime scene to investi-
gate the Sept. 11 attack.
The agents and several dozen U.S.
special operations forces were there
for about 12 hours, said a senior
Defense Department ofcial who
spoke anonymously because he was
not authorized to speak publicly
about the ongoing investigation. The
FBI agents went to all the relevant
locations in the city, FBI spokes-
woman Kathy Wright said. The FBI
would not say what, if anything, they
found.
Killed in the attack were Stevens, a
State Department computer expert
and two security agents who were
former Navy SEALS. Al-Qaida-
linked militants are believed respon-
sible.
In the U.S., the attack has become
caught up in election-year politics.
Republicans accuse Obama adminis-
tration ofcials of being misleading
in the early aftermath about what
they knew about the attackers and for
lax security at the diplomatic mission
in a lawless part of post-revolution
Libya.
Immediately after the attack, of-
cials said the consulate was stormed
by protesters outraged over an anti-
Muslim lm produced by a
California man.
U.S. intelligence and special oper-
ations forces have focused on at
most one or two individuals in the
Libya-based extremist group Ansar
al-Shariah who may have had some-
thing to do with the attack, accord-
ing to a U.S. counterterrorism of-
cial.

A more fuel-efficient Ram pickup
By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The full-size Ram pickup truck, revamped
for 2013, still has its Hemi V-8. But a new and
impressively powered V-6, with best-in-class
fuel economy plus towing might, is getting all
the attention.
The new, 3.6-liter, double overhead cam V-
6 is naturally aspirated and mated to a rst-
ever-in-a-full-size-pickup-truck eight-speed
automatic transmission.
The V-6s 305 horsepower and 269 foot-
pounds of torque at 4,175 rpm are up appre-
ciably from last years 3.7-liter V-6 that pro-
duced 215 horsepower and 235 foot-pounds
of torque at 4,000 rpm.
Some Ram passengers might not even real-
ize theyre in a V-6-powered truck, because
the burly-looking Ram just seems like a V-8
kind of truck and because the new Rams V-6
power can come on easily, smoothly and with
strong sounds.
Best of all, a 2013 Ram two-wheel drive
model with the new V-6 carries a government
fuel mileage rating of 17 miles per gallon in
city driving and 25 mpg on the highway. This
compares with the previous tops-in-the-class
Ford F-150 with V-6s rating of 17/23 mpg.
Note the Rams V-6 rating is nearly identical
to the 17/23-mpg government rating for the
smaller, 2012 Chevrolet Colorado pickup with
two-wheel drive and lower-powered, 242-
horsepower, ve-cylinder engine.
Last year, the best federal government fuel
economy rating for the 2012 Ram with old V-
6 was 14/20 mpg.

As new Rams start traveling to show-
rooms, consumers are debating online
whether a V-6 can win over hardcore, full-
size truck buyers who value utility and
ruggedness and are accustomed to V-8
power.
But as gasoline prices remain high and
business and household budgets stay lean,
the newly efficient 2013 Ram has appeal.
And thats before looking at the trucks
well-styled interior, special exterior Rambox
storage areas and pricing.
Ram officials say the 2013 base pricing is
not changed much from 2012.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail
price, including destination charge, for a
base 2013 Ram Tradesman Regular Cab
model with two-wheel drive, short bed and
carryover, 310-horsepower, 4.7-liter, single
overhead cam V-8 is $23,585. Note this V-8
comes mated to a six-speed automatic, not
the new eight-speed transmission.
The lowest starting MSRP, including desti-
nation charge, for a 2013 Ram with four-
wheel drive is $27,345. This is a Tradesman
Regular Cab with short bed and carryover,
310-horsepower, 4.7-liter V-8.
Buyers can substitute the new V-6 for the
V-8 in the Tradesman, for an additional
$1,000, a Ram spokesman said. Or, they can
move up to an SLT, with starting retail price
of $28,445 with two-wheel drive, regular cab
and short bed, to get the new V-6 and eight-
speed transmission standard, plus a range of
SLT features.
Competitors include the 2013 Ford F-150,
which has a starting retail price of $24,665
for a base, two-wheel drive XL model with
regular cab, short bed and 302-horsepower
V-6 with six-speed automatic.
Ford also sells a 3.5-liter, turbocharged V-
6 for its F-150 light-duty truck.
Meantime, the 2013 Chevrolet Silverados
base engine a 4.3-liter, Vortec V-6 pro-
duces 195 horsepower but 260 foot-pounds
of torque at 2,800 rpm. Starting retail price is
$23,590 with two-wheel drive, regular cab
and four-speed automatic transmission.
There are dozens of configurations of Ram
that provide for crew cab seating or full-out,
roomy Quad Cab six-passenger seats, plus
beds that stretch 8 feet long and a third
engine thats a 395-horsepower, 5.7-liter
Hemi V-8.
The model variety and Rams in-your-face,
Kenworth semi-hauler front exterior styling
have propelled Ram to third best-selling
pickup in the United States, after the Ford F-
150 and Chevys Silverado. The 2013 Ram
keeps the aggressive look but has mild-to-
the-eye changes that most people wont
notice.
Stretching at least 17.4 feet from bumper
to bumper and standing more than 6 feet tall,
with a raised hood thats at chest height on
most people, the 2013 Ram is an imposing
presence, even when its just a two-door reg-
ular cab with short bed, as was the test truck.
The tester with 20-inch wheels fit nicely
inside a homes two-car garage, though a
worried driver stopped to ensure there was
clearance for the tall trucks roof.
The new-for-2013 power-folding outside
mirrors handily provided walk-around space
inside the garage, where the truck parked
neatly next to another vehicle.
The tester was painted a bright red that
attracted attention. So did the Ramboxes
two not-too-deep, plastic-lined, narrow stor-
age spots atop the sides of the pickup bed.
Even short-statured people can reach in and
get items out of these boxes.
For 2013, these optional Ramboxes have
locks linked to the trucks central locking
system, so when doors lock, the boxes auto-
matically lock, too. A driver doesnt have to
walk from one side of the bed to the other to
manually lock them.
The test V-6-powered Ram moved with
spirit up hills and through traffic, with every-
one on board seeing above other vehicles.
The ride was quieter than expected, though
strong engine sounds came through during
hard acceleration.
Alas, because of pedal-to-the-metal driv-
ing, the tester only got 15.4 mpg in travel
that was 80 percent in city traffic and 20 per-
cent on highways.
Note theres no shift lever for the eight-
speed transmission. Drivers turn a rotary dial
to shift gears, which is weird-feeling.
While the Rams regular suspension kept
the sharpness of most road bumps away from
passengers, the ride still was bouncy. The
truck responded quickly to steering inputs
and felt centered, but the Ram felt big in its
handling. Turning circle for the regular cab
tester with 20-inch wheels was nearly 40
feet.
Ram offers a new air suspension system
that raises the truck body for off-roading
over obstacles and lowers the body for aero-
dynamic highway travel.

LONDON It was a meeting of the
two most famous British people on the
planet: Queen Elizabeth II turned to her
tuxedo-wearing guest and said, Good
evening, Mr. Bond.
The pairing of these icons, the English
monarch and the king of spies in a
lm for the opening ceremony of the
London Olympics was a thrilling
moment. It scarcely mattered that one of
them was ctional. Agent 007 is real to
millions of moviegoers, and once again
they will ock to see Bond battle for
queen and country when his 23rd of-
cial screen adventure, Skyfall, opens
this fall.
Hes come a long way in the 50 years
since the release on Oct. 5, 1962
of a modestly budgeted spy movie
called Dr. No. It introduced a dapper
but deadly secret agent who wore Savile
Row suits, drove an Aston Martin, liked
his martinis shaken, not stirred, and
announced himself as Bond, James
Bond.
Whats the secret of his survival?
Familiarity, says Roger Moore, who
played Bond in seven lms, more than
any other actor.
Its sort of like a bedtime story: As
long as you dont go too far away from
the original, the child is happy, Moore
said. The audience gets what its
expecting: beautiful girls, actions, gadg-
ets theres a formula.
That endishly successful formula
had modest beginnings. Two upstart
producers, Canadian Harry Saltzman
and American Albert Cubby Broccoli,
acquired the rights to a series of novels
by Ian Fleming, a former World War II
intelligence ofcer who had created 007
as sort of a fantasy alter-ego.
Saltzman and Broccoli had a budget
of just $1 million, but through a blend of
luck and design assembled an amazing
team of on- and off-screen talent.
Sean Connery, a relatively unknown
Scottish actor and former bodybuilder,
was cast as Bond against the wishes of
studio United Artists, which wanted an
established star such as Cary Grant for
the role.
Everything or Nothing, a new docu-
mentary about the Bond lms, says the
nal seal of approval came from Cubby
Broccolis wife. Is he sexy? Broccoli
asked her.
Connery got the part.
Behind the scenes were artists like
John Barry, composer of Bonds pulse-
quickening theme music; Maurice
Binder, who created the famous gun-
barrel title sequence; and designer Ken

LOS ANGELES From the way he
introduces himself to his preferred
drink order to the kind of car he drives,
everything about James Bond is deeply
entrenched in pop culture.
We like to make lists of things around
here, but usually they come in ves. In
honor of Agent 007s 50th
anniversary, heres a
seven-best list of all
things Bond:
BEST BOND GIRL:
This is tough. Adorably sexy Honor
Blackman played the Bond girl with the
best name of all Pussy Galore in
Goldnger (1964) and action veteran
Michelle Yeoh was erce in Tomorrow
Never Dies (1997). Eva Green as the
smart and sultry Vesper Lynd in 2006s
Casino Royale was the rare Bond girl
who was truly his equal. (Its easy to
pick the worst one: That would be
Denise Richards as the allegedly bril-
liant nuclear physicist Dr. Christmas
Jones in 1999s The World Is Not
Enough.) But just the vision of
Ursula Andress striding from
the ocean in Dr. No is
so famous
and so stirring, its hard to top: that
bikini with a dagger strapped to her hip,
the long blonde hair and those curves.
The very image personies the gor-
geous, mysterious cool of the Bond girl.
And she just happened to appear in the
rst lm in the franchise back in 1962.

LONDON Adele has conrmed she
has co-written and performed the theme
to the upcoming James Bond movie
Skyfall.
The singer was initially unsure
whether she wanted to take the project,
according to news posted to the ofcial
James Bond website Monday.
Theres a lot of instant spotlight and
pressure when it comes to a Bond
song, she was quoted as saying. But I
fell in love with the script. ... It was also
a lot of fun writing to a brief, something
Ive never done which made it excit-
ing.
The song was written by Adele and
Paul Hepworth, who co-wrote her hit
Rolling in the Deep. It was recorded at
Londons famed Abbey Road Studios.
Adele posted a picture on her Twitter
feed Monday of what appears to be the
sheet music cover page for the song,
credited to Adele as A. Adkins and
Hepworth. Rumors have swirled for
months that the Grammy-winning
British singer had recorded the theme,
but there had been no ofcial announce-
ment from producers until Monday.
The song will be available on Adeles
ofcial site on Friday, coinciding with
the 50th anniversary of the release of
Dr. No, the rst Bond movie. The
track was available for pre-order at
iTunes starting Monday.
The lm, Daniel Craigs third Bond
adventure, opens in Britain Oct. 26 and
in the U.S. Nov. 9. The cast includes
Javier Bardem, Albert Finney, Ralph
Fiennes and Naomie Harris.
The theme to the last Bond film,
Quantum of Solace, was performed by
Jack White and Alicia Keys.

The Spy Who Loved Video Games: Five famous Bond games
By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES James Bond hasnt been sipping marti-
nis and ring his Walther in the game world for nearly as long
as he has in movie theaters, but the gadget-loving secret
agents nearly 30-year history spanning more than 20 video
games is almost unmatched in Hollywood, where video game
tie-ins with the latest blockbusters are commonplace nowa-
days.
Indeed, when it comes to Bond games, they werent always
golden (especially thinking back to such awkward entries as
2000s 007 Racing and 2004s GoldenEye: Rogue Agent).
Even when others did it better, 007 maintained a presence in
the interactive medium, with three big-screen Bonds Sean
Connery, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig portraying him
in games.
Heres a look at ve of Bonds most noteworthy virtual oper-
ations:
James Bond 007:
Bonds rst game, a side-scroller from Parker Brothers
released in 1983 for such 8-bit systems as the Atari 2600, was
among the rst lm-based games. The mechanics were far less
groundbreaking though. It put players behind the wheel of an
oddly shaped amphibious vehicle in levels inspired by icks
like Diamonds are Forever and Moonraker.
GoldenEye 007:
When it debuted in 1997, this popular Nintendo 64 shoot-
em-up based on Bronsons initial Bond outing revolutionized
the rst-person shooter genre by pioneering how virtual sniper
ries work and setting the standard for multiplayer matches
long before Halo and Call of Duty. It proved so popular, it
was later rereleased for the current generation of consoles.
007: Everything or Nothing:
Although it wasnt the rst Bond game to steer away from
Activision is going old-school with their rst-person shooter set for release Oct. 16. 007: Legends will be armed with six
missions based on different Bond lms, including Goldnger and On Her Majestys Secret Service.

LOS ANGELES When Ursula
Andress emerged from the sea,
curves glistening, with a dagger
strapped to her bikini in 1962s Dr.
No, she made the Bond girl an
instant icon.
Always glamorous and sophisticat-
ed, yet uniquely susceptible to James
Bonds irtations, the Bond girl over
the years has become as compelling
as Agent 007 himself and not just
for the way she lls out a swimsuit.
Initially, Bond girls were part of
the aesthetic of the series. They had
more transient roles, said Karen
Tongson, a professor of English and
Gender Studies at the University of
Southern California. Especially in
the last 15 to 20 years, theres been a
marked shift in their greater involve-
ment in the action of the story line
and also the motivation for Bond,
especially Daniel Craigs Bond.
The greatest change in womens
position in the Bond saga, Tongson
notes, is that the agents boss, M, is a
woman.
The sense that the higher power
that Bond responds to is this dignied
woman played by Dame Judi Dench
suggests that the relationships he has
with these other (female) gures are
not just eeting casual sexual trysts,
but far more complex, she said.
Who qualies as a Bond girl has
also changed over the years, as the
blue-eyed, buxom blonde has given
way to more diverse leading ladies,
including Michelle Yeoh (Tomorrow
Never Dies) and Halle Berry (Die
Another Day). Modern Bond girls
also present a more formidable chal-
lenge to the suave secret agent.
They reect some of the shifts in
the post-feminist perspective: Women
who use their presentation and their
wiles to outsmart Bond, Tongson
said.
One thing that hasnt changed?
Whatever their role, Bond girls still
must be inarguably beautiful, as this
photo gallery illustrates.

Ursula Andress in Dr. No.
By Ryan Nakashima
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Over the last
50 years, the owners of the James
Bond movie franchise have had
heart-stopping crises as thrilling as
the ones that face their ctional
secret agent.
Theyve nearly gone bust more
than once and have come close to
losing all of their rights in court.
But the franchise has survived and
thrived under the family of late pro-
ducer Albert R. Cubby Broccoli,
whose name has graced every of-
cial Bond intro since Dr. No in
1962.
The son of Italian immigrants was
a risk-taker, and his earlier ventures
included farming the vegetable
bearing the Broccoli name that his
uncle brought to America. After
years of hustling his way into
Hollywood, Broccoli fought for the
movie rights to the Ian Fleming nov-
els and passed his faith in the British
spy tales to his children.
Cubby used to say, This is the
goose that laid the golden egg, keep
it safe, said Broccolis youngest
daughter, Barbara, now the series
co-producer, in a phone interview
from London. One of the things he
said was were temporary people
making permanent decisions. When
you have a franchise, and youre
invested in it as emotionally as we
are, you make decisions based on
the health of the franchise going for-
ward.
For five decades, the Broccoli
family has held on to its 50 percent
stake in the 007 movies, while
studio partner Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer Inc. owns the other half. The
series is one of the longest running
in history, having made $4.9 billion
in ticket sales over 22 lms. The
23rd Bond movie, Skyfall, is set
to premiere Oct. 23 in London.
Its not like the formula for action,
sex and intrigue has always worked
perfectly. Some lms fell at, like
On Her Majestys Secret Service,
George Lazenbys infamous one-
Bond wonder.
The franchise has occasionally
needed new blood to keep it fresh,
and there have been six Bonds so
far.
For Skyfall, the family is mak-
ing another noticeable change: it
cast 31-year-old Ben Whishaw as
Bonds gadget guru, Q. The last two
movies did without the longtime
sidekick, who had been played by
the late Desmond Llewelyn in an
epic 16 Bond lms.
The decision was made to make
him a younger man, as would be the
case these days, said Michael G.
Wilson, Albert Broccolis stepson
who is also co-producer of the
series, by phone. Lets hope he
goes on as long as Desmond
Llewelyn did.
It may seem a minor casting deci-
sion, but nothing is taken lightly by
the family that has stuck with Bond
this long. Their tribulations are
brought to life in the documentary,
Everything Or Nothing, which
debuts Friday on EPIX.
In one incident from the 1970s,
the film explains, Broccolis
Canadian co-producer, Harry
Saltzman, had squandered his Bond
fortune on outside investments.
Instead of turning to his partner for
help, Saltzman pledged their pro-
duction partnership Danjaq as col-
lateral on nearly $20 million in per-
sonal loans from Swiss bank UBS.
Broccoli enlisted Wilson, a prac-
ticing lawyer, to prevent the produc-
tion company from being foreclosed
on by the bank. Wilson argued
Saltzman couldnt pledge 100 per-
cent of the production entity without
consulting his partner. In the end,
the Saltzman-Broccoli partnership
broke up. Saltzman bitterly sold his
stake to United Artists, now a sub-
sidiary of MGM, and was left pen-
niless. Bond narrowly escaped
unscathed.
In another segment, the family
faces off against real-life nemesis
Kevin McClory, an Irishman whose
early script work with Fleming
allowed him to win the movie rights
to Thunderball.
The rights form the basis for
Never Say Never Again, a 1983
remake. The lm brought leading
man Sean Connery back as Bond
after a 12-year hiatus, and was a
way for Connery to snub the pro-
ducers that he felt had shortchanged
him.
That year, Connerys Bond and
Roger Moores Bond in
Octopussy hit theaters just
months apart, though Octopussy
won the box ofce battle. Due to the
bitter rivalry, Never Say Never
Again isnt included in Danjaqs
count of 23 Bond icks.
The documentary also explains
why Casino Royale, Flemings
rst Bond book, was made twice.
The rst version debuted in 1967
and was a ridiculous mash-up fea-
turing multiple Bonds played by the
likes of David Niven, Peter Sellers
and even Woody Allen. The spoof
was possible because Fleming had
sold that books rights to Columbia
Pictures, now owned by Sony Corp.,
for a measly $6,000.

Adam, a German-born former RAF ghter pilot
whose futuristic sets gave the lms their look of
modernist cool.
In the documentary, which airs Friday on
EPIX, Adam recalls feeling crazy with courage
in those early days. Others remember the same
devil-may-care atmosphere.
It was barnstorming days, said David M.
Kay, whose company provided aircraft for lm-
ing and stunts on the early Bond lms, including
the helicopter-volcano sequence in You Only
Live Twice.
We didnt have health and safety as we have
now. Broccoli was an absolute cavalier and
demanded things that were well-nigh impossi-
ble, Kay recalled.
It was also enormous fun, he said Men
playing with boys toys.
That sense of playfulness spilled over to the
screen. Dr. No arrived in movie theaters with
perfect timing, as Britain swapped postwar aus-
terity for growing prosperity.
Bonds world of cars, casinos and caviar was
sexy, luxurious and colorful. Instead of a gray,
shadowy gure, here was spy as glamorous jet-
setter. The lms turned Cold War anxiety into a
thrill-ride from which the good guy always
emerged triumphant.
There had been nothing like it before, said
Graham Rye, editor of 007 magazine, who
remembers being blown away by the lm as an
11-year-old. A lot of British lms at the time
were austere, black-and-white, kitchen-sink dra-
mas. When Dr. No exploded onto the screen, it
had a pretty visceral effect on everybody.
Since then, Bond has survived showdowns
with enemies from uber-villain Ernst Blofeld to
steel-toothed assassin Jaws. Even more impres-
sively, he has weathered the social revolution of
the 1960s, nancial woes and lawsuits, multiple
changes of lead actor, the end of the Cold War
and the dawn of the War on Terror.
His survival is the result of chemistry, tenacity
and luck.
Dr. No received mixed reviews some pos-
itive, others dismissive. Pure, escapist bunk,
sniffed Bosley Crowther of the New York Times.
But audiences responded, and From Russia
With Love, released the next year, was also a hit.
By 1964s Goldnger, Bond was a phenome-
non.
From the start, success was enhanced by clever
marketing. We may think of product placement
and merchandising as recent strategies Daniel
Craigs Bond diverges from his martini habit to
drink Heineken but it was part of the package
starting with the books, in which Bonds watch is
a Rolex, his shampoo Pinaud Elixir.
What began as Flemings way of demonstrat-
ing his characters expensive tastes quickly
became a commercial arrangement, now worth
millions to the lms producers.
In the 60s, Bond fans could wear 007 deodor-
ant and aftershave or sport James Bond swim-
ming trunks, complete with logo. Connerys
Bond drank Smirnoff vodka, while the villain in
Goldnger played golf with Slazenger balls.
More than movies, these were experiences in
which key elements were established, expected
and anticipated. The locations that spanned the
globe and headed into outer space; the gravity-
defying stunt sequences; the rocket belts, car-
submarines and other gadgets; the megalomania-
cal villains and their sadistic henchmen all
quickly became part of the Bond brand.
So did the theme songs, many of them per-
formed by the biggest artists of the day, from
Paul McCartney (Live and Let Die) to
Madonna (Die Another Day).
And, of course, there were the Bond girls,
characters who are victims or villains but always
fatefully and often fatally attracted to 007.
Bonds scantily clad female companions have
long provided ammunition for critics, who
accuse the lms of sexism, though others argue
that the lms offer eye-candy for everyone:
Ursula Andress in a bikini, but also Daniel Craig
in his tight blue swim trunks.
Anticipating new tweaks on the familiar ele-
ments became part of the lmsappeal, rendering
them both instantly recognizable and eminently
spoofable, as Mike Myers pitch-perfect Austin
Powers movies proved.
The lms producers at EON Productions
today run by Cubby Broccolis daughter and
stepson, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.
Wilson have become expert at honing the for-
mula. They are masters of suspense, drip-feeding
details about each new lm title, locations,
guest stars to eager fans.
Like its hero, the series has had many near-
death experiences. Connery quit acrimoniously
after six lms. There was a long-running legal
battle with screenwriter Kevin McClory over
rights to the Thunderball script. The result was
the unofcial Bond lm Never Say Never
Again, which saw 52-year-old Connery return
after a decade away from the role.
Former model George Lazenby lasted just a
single lm On Her Majestys Secret Service
from 1969, a dark-hued tale that ranks among
many fans favorites. Moore took Bond in a
lighter direction during the 1970s.
Audiences didnt warm to Timothy Daltons
tougher, meaner 1980s Bond, but Pierce
Brosnans suave superagent circling the globe
in ever more futuristic vehicles, including an
invisible car t with the optimistic post-Cold
War era.
Just as 007s clothes have evolved with chang-
ing fashions from Connerys lean 60s suits to
Moores ares to Craigs Tom Ford formalwear
producers have tried to nd Bonds to mirror
the mood of the times.
The aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks brought a
change of tone. Craigs Bond, who made his
debut in Casino Royale in 2006, is a darker,
tougher spy who harkens back to Flemings orig-
inal, restoring sadism and self-loathing to Bonds
emotional arsenal.
Although the Broccoli family wont comment,
media reports say Craig has committed to two
more lms after Skyfall, with Bond 24 due for
release in 2014 or 2015 that is, if 007 contin-
ues to cheat death.
The most recent threat to Bond was a produc-
tion delay on Skyfall when studio MGM led
for bankruptcy in 2010.
But Agent 007 is in pretty good shape for 50.
Will he last another half century?
Rye, the magazine editor, thinks so.
Bond, like diamonds, is forever, he said.
Continued from page 20
50 YEARS
MOST FEARSOME BOND VILLAIN:
Blofeld is the easy answer because hes
appeared in so many Bond films, and
because hes the inspiration for the Dr. Evil
character in the Austin Powers movies.
And that ever-present cat on his lap ... that
has to make him a truly, deeply bad guy. A
dog person would never be hell-bent on glob-
al domination. Francisco Scaramanga, the
inspiration for The Man With the Golden
Gun (1974), is also a tempting choice. He
has a third nipple, people! What more do you
need? But Im picking Jaws from The Spy
Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker
(1979), played by 7-foot-2 Richard Kiel.
Those teeth they could do some serious
damage.
BEST THEME SONG:
Nobody Does It Better from The Spy
Who Loved Me. Many of you would choose
Shirley Basseys big, jazzy Goldfinger, or
even Live and Let Die (the rockingest song
Paul McCartney and Wings ever recorded)
and youd be totally justified. But this one
just stands out after all these years. It still
takes such a hold of you when youre listen-
ing to it, with the touches of melancholy in
Carly Simons haunting vocals mixing with
the mystery required of any great Bond tune.
Its also one of several that would be nomi-
nated for an original-song Oscar, the writing
credits going to Carole Bayer Sager and the
late, great Marvin Hamlisch. I had this stuck
in my head the whole day when Hamlisch
died recently, and didnt mind one bit.
COOLEST GADGET:
The jet pack that allowed Sean Connery to
zoom skyward to his escape in 1965s
Thunderball was cool and very forward-
thinking. And it just happened to be sitting
right there, waiting for him what are the
odds? But its the car, of course, thats so
readily identifiable as James Bonds most
reliable and versatile weapon. Famously, he
drives a silver Aston Martin but its come in
various models, with an assortment of handy
tricks and toys and been driven by several of
the actors playing the part. Revolving license
plates, bulletproof shields, tires that shoot
spikes, headlights that hide machine guns,
ejector seats we all need these extras to
keep us busy while sitting in stop-and-go
traffic on the 405. Theyre probably safer
than texting behind the wheel.
BEST CHASE:
Skiing and shooting in 1981s For Your
Eyes Only: Its the worlds deadliest biathlon.
Landing all those jumps would be hard
enough, but Bond also has to avoid dudes on
motorcycles trying to kill him, as well as bob-
sledders, tourists enjoying apres-ski beverages
and the occasional cow. But he does it all AND
makes funny faces, because this is Roger
Moore, the jokey James Bond. The Spy Who
Loved Me also features an Austrian ski chase
with some truly terrible green-screen effects
and a disco-tastic version of the Bond theme.
BEST BOND PARODY:
It is very easy to make fun of James Bond
movies. Their tenets are instantly recognizable
and the worlds in which they exist are so lav-
ish, theyre probably a lot of fun to mimic.
Before they made their names in the United
States with the Oscar-winning The Artist,
director Michel Hazanavicius and star Jean
Dujardin continued the tradition of the French
version of 007 with the slapsticky OSS 117
movies. Similarly, British comic Rowan
Atkinson has stumbled and bumbled his way
through a series of dangerous assignments as
the tuxedoed Johnny English in lms that
are huge hits overseas. Still, the Austin
Powers movies have done it best, especially
the first one, 1997s Austin Powers:
International Man of Mystery. Theyre giddy,
cheeky and goofy, they provide a great oppor-
tunity for Mike Myers chameleon-like style of
physical humor and they revel in taking shots
albeit affectionate ones at this iconic
character. Yeah, baby.
BEST BOND:
Supposedly the Bond you grew up watching
rst is the one you like best. Sorry, but I cant
bring myself to pick Roger Moore. This is
actually as tough as choosing the best Bond
girl because each actor has interpreted the
character in such vastly different ways while
still attempting to remain true to his essence.
Sean Connery is the classic and he set the stan-
dard, and hed probably be the No. 1 pick for
the vast majority of Bond fans. At this point,
though, when I think of Connery, I think of
Darrell Hammonds hilarious impersonation
of him in the Celebrity Jeopardy sketches on
Saturday Night Live Ill take `The
Rapists for $200. Thats `Therapists. So
Im going to do something kind of blasphe-
mous here and say Daniel Craig has become
my favorite Bond. People scoffed when he was
chosen to star in Casino Royale. We cant
have a blond Bond! came the outcry. But
Craig can seriously act, bringing a welcome
darkness to the character as well as being
sexy, masculine and formidable in all the nec-
essary ways.
Continued from page 20
BEST BOND
the lm franchise, this 2003 adventure was the
rst to succeed at shaking it up with an origi-
nal story from veteran Bond screenwriter
Bruce Feirstein, performances from Brosnan
and Judi Dench, Heidi Klum as a Bond girl,
Willem Dafoe as a villain and a new title song
from Mya.
007: From Russia With Love:
Electronic Arts went retro with From
Russia with Love in 2005, incorporating fun
vintage elements like Bonds jet pack and
Aston Martin. The slick third-person game
followed the story of the 1957 novel and 1963
lm and also featured Connerys voice and
likeness, marking his return to the role for the
rst time in more than 20 years.
007: Legends:
Activision is also going old-school with this
rst-person shooter set for release Oct. 16.
007: Legends will be armed with six mis-
sions based on different Bond lms, including
Goldnger and On Her Majestys Secret
Service, with Craig playing Bond through-
out.
A downloadable level based on the upcom-
ing Bond lm Skyfall will be available after
launch.

When baking season brings
thoughts of savory loaves of bread
hot from the oven, we often overlook
egg bread. But these rich, moist
and yes, eggy loaves deserve seri-
ous consideration. They are satisfy-
ing in a way we typically associate
with quick sweet breads, yet are ver-
satile enough to accompany dinner
and make delicious sandwiches.
For this recipe, we studded a
basic egg bread with four varieties
of seeds sesame, sunflower,
poppy and pumpkin. The seeds add
a satisfying crunch without detract-
ing from the moist crumb of the
bread. But if youd rather leave out
the seeds, feel free.
FOUR-SEED EGG BREAD
Start to nish: 3 hours
Servings: 16
1 tablespoon toasted sesame
seeds
1 tablespoon toasted sunflower
seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin
seeds (also called pepitas)
1/4-ounce packet instant yeast
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 cup warm water
4 egg yolks
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon salt
In a large bowl, combine the
sesame seeds, sunflower seeds,
poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds and
yeast. Stir in the milk and water,
then mix in the egg yolks. When
well mixed, add the flour, sesame
oil, vegetable oil, honey and salt.
Knead, either by hand or with a
dough hook on an electric mixer on
low speed, for 8 to 10 minutes.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow
to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1
1/2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.
Meanwhile, coat a baking sheet
with cooking spray.
Transfer the dough to a lightly
floured counter. Fold the dough
over itself, then work into a ball.
Transfer the dough to the prepared
baking sheet. Cover the bread with
plastic wrap and allow to rise again
for 1 hour, or until risen and puffy.
Toward the end of the rising
time, heat the oven to 325 F.
Using a paring knife, cut 2 deep
slashes in the top of the load. Bake
for 40 to 50 minutes, or until deep
golden and cooked through.
Transfer to a rack to cool.
Moist, rich egg bread studded with seeds for fall
Seeds add a satisfying crunch without detracting from moist bread.

deliver supplies, equipment and personnel to
San Francisco and other U.S. cities if a
major earthquake or other disaster takes out
roads, bridges and other transportation infra-
structure. The hovercraft has been used to
respond to humanitarian crises such as
Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the 2010
earthquake in Haiti, according to the
Associated Press.
Its basically a mobile surgery center that
we can set up anywhere in the world in about
an hour, Langley told the Associated Press.
But Fleet Week also provides Langley an
opportunity to come home. The 24-year-old,
who celebrates his 25th birthday Monday,
grew up all around the Bay Area. But, he
considers San Carlos home and spent a num-
ber of years volunteering with the San Mateo
Police Department. Its with the police
department that Langley felt he gained the
leadership training necessary to be success-
ful in the military. This weekend hes return-
ing to the Bay Area while on active duty to
be part of Fleet Week. His hope is people
take the chance this weekend to learn about
the military beyond the annual air show.
Coming back to the Bay Area is a matter
of personal pride and professional chal-
lenge, said Langley.
Langley enjoys the ability to show off the
patriotism of the Bay Area with others in the
military. Professionally, hes handling press
while in town. So often Langley will meet
someone with a family member in the
Marines but no idea what that persons job
is. This weekend, Langley said, is a chance
for anyone to learn a little bit more.
Langleys introduction to the military
came from his grandfathers brother, who
served in the Pacific. He also gained insight
about the possible opportunities through the
military over the years.
Langley moved around a lot in his youth.
Hes lived all over the Bay Area and attend-
ed Aragon High School but graduated in
Washington state, when he went to live with
his father. After graduation, Langley
returned to the Bay Area and started taking
classes at California State University, East
Bay. He considered enrolling in the reserves
but learned of the Officer Candidates
School, which would allow Langley to train
while continuing his studies. It was like the
option was tailor-made for his goals.
Langley benefited from the training here.
He also benefited from working with the
San Mateo Police Department for years.
Langley recalled first walking into the
Delaware Street headquarters at 13, barely
able to see over the counter. He was recruit-
ed to join cadets. Over a number of years,
Langley took advantage of the option to vol-
unteer in different areas of the police depart-
ment including the Police Activities League.
When he became commissioned last sum-
mer in San Carlos, many of the police offi-
cers came to show their support. Now,
Langley is based at Camp Pendleton in
Southern California.
Returning to the Bay Area is a welcome
challenge for Langley. He enjoys the ability
to come home and represent the local area,
as well as highlight the good the Marines are
doing. For example, there will be a live mil-
itary workout demo Saturday morning.
Friday, Marines will work with local law
enforcement during a training exercise with
rescue dogs on Treasure Island. And, on
Sunday morning, there will be a demonstra-
tion of the K9 services at Pier 80.
And, of course, the Blue Angels will show
their flying precision up in the sky through
Sunday.
Fleet Week is held in San Francisco from
Oct. 4 through Oct. 8. A schedule of all
events is available online. For more infor-
mation about Fleet Week visit

which includes Redwood City, Menlo Park
and East Palo Alto and the unincorporated
areas of North Fair Oaks and Oak Knoll.
Although a supervisor represents his or her
district, they are chosen by voters countywide.
On Thursday night, each argued their quali-
cations and positions on specic issues at a
forum sponsored by the League of Women
Voters and the San Mateo Library.
The county needs passion, but it also needs
experience, Masur said, highlighting her
years as a board trustee and her masters
degree in public health.
The countys health system and services are
absolutely a priority for me, she said.
The Affordable Care Act and realignment of
state prison inmates back to local facilities
makes the need for the countys systems to be
strong and even more keen, she said.
Slocum wants to make sure veterans, partic-
ular those with mental health issues, are cared
for.
Slocum said he is ready to roll up his sleeves
and work on the county budget because you
cant continue to spend money you dont
have.
Masur also cites the budget as a priority
along with bolstering the countys service
safety net for children and seniors.
A question about so-called double-dip-
ping seems specically tailored to the candi-
dates as Slocum draws a pension and could
potentially receive a salary as a supervisor.
Slocum told the audience last night that like
Supervisor Don Horsley before him, he wont
accept a paycheck if elected.
The bottom line is, I will work without a
salary and just live on the pension thats given
to me, he said.
If elected, Slocum said he would request an
analysis of the countys unfunded liabilities as
a step toward pension reform.
Both Masur and Slocum favor district elec-
tions rather than the at-large system currently
in play and think the county has made great
strides in reining in the number of employees
and associated costs. Slocum sees a future of
collaboration and shared services. Masur also
wants to look at areas where the county over-
laps with education to nd efciencies and
savings.
Measure A, the countys proposed half-cent
sales tax, is backed by both candidates who
noted its expiration date.
It buys us some time, Slocum said, adding
the county needs to have guidelines for its use
and should invest a signicant portion in
items like technology that can pay dividends.
Masur said the funds will let the county shift
from remediation to prevention.
Despite many similarities, Masur and
Slocum drew some distinctions between
themselves.
Masur said her public health experience is
critical to serving as a supervisor as is her
work with nonprots. She also pointed to her
seven years as an elected board member,
knowing how to understand complex funding
mechanisms and restrictions while doing a

FORUM
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2012
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youre comparing simi-
lar items before making a purchase, quality should
take precedence over price. Dont allow yourself to
be dazzled by a fashy sale.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Youre likely to get the
opportunity to be with someone whom you really like.
Even if you cant spend as much time together as
both of you desire, youll make it a quality experience.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Even though the
last thing you will be thinking about is feathering
your nest, persons you help could end up doing more
for you than what you actually do for them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You might get some
intuitive fashes pertaining to a certain future event.
Dont discount any of these perceptions just because
what you envision seems too good to be true.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Something rather pe-
culiar might develop that could result in a small but
signifcant advantage in your career. Its also likely
that itll be benefcial fnancially as well.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Acknowledge all
hunches or perceptions, because one could result
in a subtle yet vital beneft for you in the workplace.
Take advantage of your brainstorms -- you wont
regret it.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- When considering
making a fnancial investment, dont discuss it
with people who have poor fduciary track records.
Someone could talk you into putting your money on
a bad bet.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Something benefcial
could result from an involvement with a friend whose
interests, ideal and standards are similar to yours.
Not so with a companion who thinks differently.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Oftentimes in life, we
have to be extremely assertive in order to achieve
our objectives. However, you will gain more at pres-
ent by being kind and sharing.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Should your faith be
put to the test, remember that you generally can
achieve far more by being unwavering. Additionally,
your steadfastness will inspire others.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Some kind of shift in
circumstances can be expected, which will have a
strong effect on you and your associates. However,
you wont mind the turmoil; youll instantly see its
benefts.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Although the knowledge
youll gain from books today might be marginal at
best, youre likely to learn an invaluable lesson from
something youll experience with another person.

the church is celebrating the united nature of
the diverse congregation.
Everyone has been working so hard, said
St. Bruno Church secretary Lupita Mendoza.
Planning for the three-day centennial event
started in February with fundraising pushes
from parishioners really taking stride in June.
From food sales to dances, the church sup-
porters have been working overtime, said
Mendoza.
The 100th Jubilee begins 6 p.m. Friday with
a bilingual mass followed by a dinner and
awards night at the South San Francisco
Convention Center. Three-hundred people are
expected to attend the dinner where awards
will be given to 14 volunteers who have gone
above and beyond in terms of supporting the
church. Recognition will also be given out for
the parishs annual awards.
Saturday starts with the blessing of the ani-
mals in the churchs courtyard at 11 a.m. At
4:30 p.m. Saturday, there will be a ringing of
the bell followed by a Jubilee Mass, which
will be attended by numerous other priests
from the area, said Mendoza.
Saturday will end with the annual corona-
tion ball. Four candidates, two of them junior,
are in the running to be named the centennial
queen and princess. The celebration will
include former queens dating back to 2004,
when the coronation ball tradition was rein-
stated at the parish. Among the former queens
is Mendoza, who was recognized in 2006.
Three masses will be offered Sunday 8
a.m. in English, 10 a.m. in Spanish and a con-
cluding mass at 6 p.m. Entertainment is
planned from 11:30 a.m. through 4 p.m. that
day. The music and dancing will celebrate
each decade, starting with the 20s, and also
the differences in culture among the parish-
ioners.
Past and present parishioners are expected
to participated but the festivities are also open
to the public, she said.
Construction on the rst St. Brunos Church
started at the end of 1908. The Rev. James A
Grant administrated St. Brunos as a mission
of St. Catherines in Burlingame, from 1908
to 1912. He secured four lots and supervised
the building of the rst Catholic Church in
San Bruno. In 1912, St. Brunos became a
separate parish with the Rev. William J.
Cantwell as the rst resident pastor.
The historic church bell, cast in 1886, was
erected in the belfry in the church. It rang
every Sunday half an hour prior to and at the
beginning of mass. This continued until the
mid-1940s. Now, it is only rung on special
occasions like this weekend.

CHURCH
St. Brunos Catholic Church centennial celebration will start 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5 at 555 San
Bruno Ave.W., San Bruno. All weekend activities will be held at the San Bruno church except
for dinner Friday night at the South San Francisco Convention Center, 255 S. Airport Blvd. in
South San Francisco.
many states have started moving lower, which
is typical for October.
But in California, gasoline inventories are
the lowest in more than 10 years a situation
made worse by the states strict pollution lim-
its that require a special blend of cleaner-burn-
ing gasoline.
Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at
GasBuddy.com, said he is seeing the highest
prices in the state around Los Angeles, where
at least ve stations have crossed the $5 a gal-
lon mark, including $5.29 in Burbank and
$5.11 in Norwalk.
Prices will keep rising, he says, because in
the past week wholesale gasoline prices have
jumped $1 a gallon, but average retail prices
have only increased 30 cents.
This is one of the easiest forecasts: Retail
prices are going to skyrocket, he said.
The jump in wholesale prices can be partic-
ularly tough on independent gas stations that
often pay more for their gas because they are
not part of a larger chain.
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at Oil Price
Information Service, said hes heard of a few
California station owners shutting their pumps
rather than charging the $4.90 a gallon or
more necessary to break even.
Wholesale price increases lead to retail
price increases, Kloza said. But there is
some restraint among companies who do not
want to exercise their current pricing power
and irritate their customers.
At the San Francisco 76 station, the 42-
year-old Fugueredo believes the push for prof-
its by oil companies is behind the increases.
I heard that the recent heat wave had
affected refineries in California, and the
Chevron renery blew up. But the oil compa-
nies are just greedy, he said, standing next to
his white panel van.
Other San Francisco motorists have been
taking the recent price spikes mostly in stride,
but now that gas is closing in on $5 a gallon,
some are considering changing their trans-
portation habits.
I might actually park my car for a while
and start biking, said Sam Hewatt, 25, who
was lling his sedan with $4.99-a-gallon pre-
mium.
Some analysts believe prices nationally will
begin to decline soon but say California could
see a longer spike given its unique fuel
requirements.
Nationally, I believe most prices will wob-
ble to and fro for the next week or so, with an
eventual slow but steady attrition in retail gas
prices, particularly in the Midwest and
Southeast, Kloza said. California is a wild
card.
