CuriOdyssey, the childrens museum that
encourages visitors to explore, is looking at
some discovery of its own.
The science center at Coyote Point Park in
San Mateo is planning to tear down the exist-
ing facility to its foundation and within ve
years rebuild into a natural history museum
that better ts its current goal giving chil-
dren hands-on lessons about the world and
what makes it tick.
When done, children and adults alike can
continue getting up close and personal with
snakes and birds or experiment with science.
Visitors will still have beautiful gardens to
stroll through and young minds will still have
the chance to touch, twirl, spin and anything
in between at interactive exhibits teaching the
whys and hows of nature, according to muse-
um ofcials.
The main difference is the space housing
those experiences.
The building, dating from 1970, is geared
toward permanent rather than interactive
exhibits. Since landing at CuriOdyssey ve
years ago, Executive Director Rachel Meyer
said the organization has implemented its new
vision by moving animals to the front scenes
and redoing all the education programs.
CuriOdysseys present and future includes a
whole array of new exhibits like exploration
of patterns, power generation, kinetic force,
mass and scale.
Kids are naturally curious and we want to
encourage that curiosity, Meyer said.
Meyer said the plan is still quite conceptual

County officials yesterday unanimously
signed off on the environmental review of a
proposed plastic bag ban, paving the way for
the same board to consider approving the pro-
hibition at its next meeting and for two dozen
other Peninsula cities to follow suit.
This is a step for the environment today, a
step for San Mateo and Santa Clara counties
today, said Supervisor Carole Groom who
helped spearhead the effort.
More than 20 billion bags are used in
California annually which pencils out to more
than 500 bags per person per year in the coun-
ty, said Dean Peterson, the countys director
of environmental health.
Less than 8 percent are recycled and the rest
end up in landlls or as litter, Peterson said.
To eradicate the problem, county ofcials
said the answer is eradicating the source.
The Board of Supervisors at Tuesdays
meeting certied the environmental impact
report, a document which looked at potential
impacts and a requirement to stave off poten-
tial lawsuits like those that have dogged plas-
tic bag bans in other jurisdictions. With certi-
cation done, the board will now consider the
ordinance itself at the Nov. 6 meeting. If the
board approves the ban, it becomes effective
in April. Patrons without reusable bags can
still request a single-use paper version from
retailers but will be charged rst a dime and,
after Jan. 1, 2015, a quarter. Retailers can vol-
untarily choose to give free bags to food
stamp and WIC participants.
Bags without handles for medicine or to
segregate food that might contaminate are
exempt as are nonprofits like Goodwill.
Restaurants can still send food in to-go bags
as public health ofcials havent yet ruled out
the possibility of reusable bags leading to
cross-contamination.
Mountain View resident Donald Ball still
wasnt convinced that reusable bags dont
pose a danger because there is no way to
ensure owners wash them to prevent sharing
microbes.
The other issues are admirable but there is
a public health issue, Ball said.
But others lauded the county for its step
toward a ban on a wider scale.
This has truly become a regional move-
ment, said Stephen Knight, political director
of Save the Bay. The environmental argu-
ment is clear.
Twenty-four cities in San Mateo and Santa
Clara counties participated in the EIR process
but each city council need to adopt a ban for it
to be effective in those jurisdictions. The cities
included in the San Mateo County EIR are
Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, Colma, Daly
City, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Half Moon
Bay, Menlo Park, Millbrae, Pacica, Portola
Valley, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos,
San Mateo, South San Francisco, Woodside,
Milpitas, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Campbell and
Mountain View.
South San Francisco City Manager Susan
Kennedy, who attended yesterdays board
meeting, said that city is tentatively scheduled
to discuss the ban at its Nov. 14 meeting.
Prohibition is currently voluntary. Millbrae
also has a ban in place. That ban began Sept.
1.
The county EIR concluded a ban will bene-
t air quality, biological resources and water
quality. Any increase of greenhouse gas emis-
sions and water use is less than signicant, it
also stated.
As the county prepared the EIR and readied
for an ordinance, it has held several communi-
ty meetings and reached out to businesses
with hope of easing the anticipated transition.
Peterson said the county will give away
reusable bags and use interns to educate retail-
ers about the message they deliver to cus-
tomers.
Big step for county plastic bag ban

SACRAMENTO The ve tornadoes that
touched down across Northern California this
week tied a single-day record dating to 1996,
the National Weather Service said Tuesday.
Thunderstorms were expected again Tuesday
and Wednesday as part of the rst series of
storms of the season, but they were not expect-
ed to produce the same dangerous turbulence.
Knock on wood, we dont expect them to be
as severe, said Jim Mathews, lead forecaster at
the National Weather Service ofce in
Sacramento.
The worst of the weather was on Monday, he
said. There is a chance of showers and thunder-
storms in the Central Valley through Wednesday
before things dry out Thursday. A winter weath-
er advisory was in effect for Tuesday night in
the Sierra Nevada, with up to seven more inch-
es of snow expected. Snow showers on
Wednesday might add another two inches.
The continued wet weather could hit during
Wednesday nights World Series opener at
AT&T Park in downtown San Francisco. Austin
Cross, a meteorologist with the National
Weather Service in Monterey, said most of the
rain should clear out by late afternoon, leaving
a 15 to 20 percent of a downpour during the
game.

The motorist arrested for eeing police after
driving the wrong way through the presiden-
tial motorcade during Barack Obamas
Redwood City visit in May was given proba-
tion and substance abuse treatment.
Eddie Darrell Boyce Jr., 49, faced up to four
years in prison after pleading no contest in
August to felony evasion and admitting his
prior criminal strike. However, a judge
declined to treat Boyce as a second-striker and
imposed time served followed by three years
probation. He must also complete drug and
alcohol treatment at the Veterans
Administration.
The sentence is reasonable because there
is no rm evidence Boyce planned to harm the
president, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Redwood City police arrested the Mountain
View man May 23 after he reportedly drove
his sedan around a barri-
cade near Manzanita Street
and down a street sealed
off for the motorcades trip
from an Atherton cam-
paign event to the Fox
Theatre on Broadway. The
president was not yet in the
area. The ofcers tried cut-
ting Boyce off but he
allegedly drove the wrong
way down El Camino Real and crashed into a
curb and SamTrans sign in the 2600 block
near Carlos Avenue.
After being taken into custody, Boyce
reportedly told police he knew Obama was
going to be at the Fox Theatre but wasnt
attempting to harm him. Boyce also said he
didnt hear the police siren and was on his way
to visit a friend.
Boyce had been in custody on $500,000
bail.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE Apple Inc.s pencil-thin,
smaller iPad will cost much more than its
competitors, signaling that the company isnt
going to get into a mini-tablet price war.
The company unveiled the iPad Mini on
Tuesday, with a screen about two-thirds the
size of the full model, and half the weight.
Customers can begin ordering the new model
on Friday. In a surprise, Apple also revamped
its agship, full-sized iPad just six months
after the launch of the latest model.
Apples late founder Steve Jobs once
ridiculed a small tablet from a competitor as a
tweener that was too big and too small to
compete with either smartphones or tablets.
Now Apples own Mini enters a growing
small-tablet market dominated by
Amazon.com Inc.s Kindle Fire.
Apple is charging $329 and up for the Mini
a price that ts into the Apple product line-
up between the latest iPod Touch ($299) and
the iPad 2 ($399). Company watchers had
been expecting Apple to price the iPad Mini at
$250 to $300 to compete with the Kindle Fire,
which starts at $159. Barnes & Noble Inc.s
Nook HD and Google Inc.s Nexus 7 both start
at $199.
Apple had an opportunity to step on the
throat of Amazon and Google, yet decided to
rely on its brand and focus on (prot) margin,
said Bill Kreher, an analyst with brokerage
Edward Jones.
Apple shares fell $20.67, or 3.3 percent, to
close at $613.36 after the price was
announced. Shares of Barnes & Noble jumped
88 cents, or 6.1 percent, to $15.32. Shares of
Amazon rose 53 cents, or 0.2 percent, to
$234.31.

Roche probed for not reporting side effects
LONDON Europes top drug regulator announced
Tuesday it is taking action against pharmaceutical giant
Roche for allegedly failing to properly report the side effects
of 19 drugs being used by U.S. patients.
It is the first time the European Medicines Agency has
begun a so-called infringement proceeding against a drug
maker. European regulations lay out numerous requirements
for pharmaceuticals, including reporting suspected side
effects and submitting such cases to officials.
Eight of the drugs involved are used for the treatment of
cancer, including breast cancer. They include Avastin,
Herceptin, Tarceba, and Xeloda. The flu drug Tamiflu was
also included in the list.
British authorities brought the problem to the attention of
the European authorities in May after noticing serious
shortcomings in how Roche AG reported potential side
effects.
Regulators said about 80,000 reports by consumers of
possible adverse effects to drugs sold in the U.S. had not
been properly analyzed. Among those reports were over
15,000 deaths, though it was unclear if those deaths were
caused by Roche medicines.

SACRAMENTO As he makes a last-
minute push for his November tax initiative,
Gov. Jerry Brown said Tuesday that he wants
to make sure voters know the stakes for
Californias K-12 schools and colleges before
they cast their ballots.
In a telephone interview with the Associated
Press, Brown said he wants to ensure
Californians are aware of the $6 billion in
budget cuts he says will be triggered automat-
ically if Proposition 30 fails.
Im going everywhere I can in California to
make sure that everyone knows the stakes, and
then when they cast their vote they do it in a
knowing way, Brown said in between stops in
Inglewood and San Diego. I dont want any-
body to wake up the day after the election and
be surprised.
With just two weeks
remaining before Election
Day, the Democratic gov-
ernor is pitching his initia-
tive with appearances
around the state. He says
schools will be decimated
if voters reject the tempo-
rary quarter-cent increase
in the statewide sales tax
and higher income taxes on those who make
more than $250,000 a year. Brown called the
decision profoundly serious. Its either going
to strengthen or weaken our social fabric.
Proposition 30 faces a well-funded opposi-
tion campaign that claims the $6 billion the
higher taxes would generate each year would
not help schools.
In a radio ad that also began airing Tuesday,
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association
President Jon Coupal calls it just another tax
increase that will kill the state economy, drive
people and businesses out of California and
make families poorer.
Time is of the essence for Brown to sell his
argument about the choice Californians face.
More than 1 million of Californias 17 million
registered voters already have cast vote-by-
mail ballots, according to the tracking rm
Political Data Inc. Brown acknowledged that
his pitch to increase taxes is a challenging
campaign by any standard. Public opinion
polls have shown a narrow majority of likely
voters supporting Proposition 30, but the most
recent surveys were in September, before the
opposition ads began to air.
Im not taking anything for granted,
Brown told the AP. Im going to do every-
thing I can between now and the Election Day
to get the message out that Proposition 30
helps our schools, helps our universities and is
part of my effort as governor to nally get the
state back on track.
In San Diego on Tuesday, Brown visited
Perkins Elementary School in the heart of the
citys oldest Hispanic neighborhood, Barrio
Logan. Principal Fernando Hernandez said the
preschool-through-eighth grade school has
suffered from repeated budget cuts over the
past ve years.
Theres nowhere left to cut, he told
reporters outside the school, which is adorned
with brightly colored murals. We need to pro-
tect our schools.
Standing at a lectern plastered with Yes on
30 in English and Spanish, Brown held up
one of the signs and said: This is a very clear
message and the message is, Its money into
the schools or money out of the schools.
Brown says schools future at stake

DAYTON, Ohio The endgame at hand,
President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt
Romney plunged into the nal two weeks of an
excruciatingly close race for the White House
Tuesday with TV advertising nearing an astro-
nomical $1 billion and millions of Americans
casting early ballots in all regions of the coun-
try.
Increasingly, Ohio looms as ground zero in a
campaign waged in tough economic times. The
states unemployment rate of 7 percent is well
below the national average of 7.8 percent,
Obama has campaigned here more than in any
other state and Romney has booked a heavy
schedule of appearances in hopes of a break-
through.
The economy was the theme Tuesday as the
two rivals put their nal, foreign policy-focused
debate behind.
Obama brandished a new 20-page summary
of his second-term agenda and told a campaign
crowd in Florida his rivals blueprint doesnt
really create jobs. His decit plan doesnt
reduce the decit; it adds to it.
More than that, he said Romney changes his
positions so often that he cant be trusted.
In Dayton, Obama said of his rival: In the
closing weeks of the campaign, hes doing
everything he can to hide his true positions. He
is terric at making presentations about stuff he
thinks is wrong with America, but he sure cant
give you an answer about what will make it
right. And thats not leadership you can trust.
Before ying to Ohio for his 17th trip of the
election year, Obama also said with a hint of
humility: It doesnt mean that every candidate
is going to get everything done all at once per-
fectly, but you want somebody to be able to look
you in the eye and say, heres what I believe.
Romney countered in an appearance before a
large, cheering crowd in Henderson, Nev. He
said Obama wants a new term for the same poli-
cies that have produced
slow economic growth and
high unemployment for
four long years. He is a
status quo candidate. ...
Thats why his campaign is
slipping and ours is gaining
so much steam, he said.
Romneys aides dis-
missed Obamas 20-page
booklet as nothing new,
and the former Massachusetts governor said of
the president: His vision for the future is a
repeat of the past.
There seemed to be no end to the television
advertising in a season when voters report they
are heartily sick of it.
Material collected by ad trackers showed the
two candidates and allied groups have spent or
reserved nearly $950 million so far on television
commercials, much of it negative, some of it
harshly so. Romney and GOP groups had a
$100 million advantage over Obama and his
supporters, although variations in the purchase
price made it difcult to compare the number of
ads each side had run.
Increasingly, the two campaigns were focused
on turning out their supporters in early balloting
under way in more than half the states.
Every single day right now is Election Day,
Obamas campaign manager, Jim Messina, told
reporters. On that, at least, Republicans offered
no rebuttal.
About 5 million voters have already cast bal-
lots according to data collected by the United
States Elections Project at George Mason
University, and about 35 million are expected to
do so before Nov. 6.
While no votes will be counted until Election
Day, the group said Democrats have cast more
ballots than Republicans in the battleground
states of North Carolina and Iowa by about 20
percentage points, while in Nevada, about
121,000 people have voted 49 percent
Democrats and 35 percent Republicans.
Final sprint to Election Day
Barack Obama
By Bradley Klapper and Kasie Hunt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Mitt Romney abruptly
moderated his foreign policy positions in this
weeks debate on issues like ending the war
in Afghanistan and averting another conict
in Iran, hoping to neutralize one of President
Barack Obamas main strengths with the
election only two weeks away. But the move
toward the political center comes with poten-
tial pitfalls.
By abandoning several of his sharpest crit-
icisms of Obama from the past several
months, Romney risks upsetting some con-
servatives and reinforcing the allegation
levied repeatedly by the president on
Monday night that his positions lack con-
viction and leadership.
His aim was to appear sober and serious, a
plausible commander in chief, by not engag-
ing in saber-rattling for political points. By
narrowing the gap between his positions and
those of Obama, he also may have succeeded
in giving undecided voters, particularly
women, the impression that he would lead a
war-weary America into another conflict
only reluctantly.
Romney aides said both the tone and sub-
stance of their boss arguments were inten-
tional and that he carried with him into the
debate a key piece of advice: Talk about
peace.
The overarching goal, they said, was for
Romney to look like a suitable commander.
After adopting a more assertively militaristic
tone to win the GOP nomination amid chal-
lenges from more conservative candidates,
he sought at all costs to avoid appearing as a
warmonger.
I want to see peace, Romney said in his
closing statement.
The shifts in the debate were stark for a
candidate who only last week described
Obamas foreign policy as unraveling
before our very eyes.
Unconditionally endorsing Obamas 2014
deadline for removing U.S. combat troops
from Afghanistan, Romney reversed his
opposition to what he had termed a politi-
cal timetable that wasnt necessarily sup-
ported by U.S. generals on the ground.

Man arrested for
attempted cargo theft
A Los Angeles man was arrested Monday
for an attempted cargo theft on the 400 block
of East Grand Avenue, according to South San
Francisco police.
The man jailed, Jose Martinez, 57, and other
unidentied suspects followed the victims
cargo truck from San Jose to South San
Francisco in two separate vehicles, according
to police.
The victim was transporting computer chips
valued at $170,000. When the victim stopped
his cargo truck at the nal destination, the sus-
pects stopped their vehicles across the street
and Martinez exited the vehicle and started to
approach the victims cargo truck, according to
police.
The victims father was also following the
cargo truck, as well as the suspect vehicles,
and pulled in behind the suspects vehicles,
according to police.
The victims father confronted Martinez,
who ed the scene on foot. The other suspects
ed the scene in their vehicles westbound on
East Grand Avenue. Martinez was subsequent-
ly located and arrested. He was later booked
into jail without incident but the other suspects
are still at large, according to police.
The suspect vehicles were described as a
gold Dodge Caravan and a white Ford
Explorer. The additional suspects were
described as Hispanic adult males, one with a
black mohawk, according to police.
Anyone with information on the case should
call police at (650) 877-8900.
Pungent smell clears building
South San Francisco reghters responded
to a business on Harris Avenue just before
noon yesterday on reports of a pungent smell
lling the air.
After the business was evacuated, a haz-
ardous materials crew was called to the scene
and vented the building as at least two employ-
ees of an export company were transported to
the hospital for observation, said South San
Francisco Fire Marshal Luis Da Silva.
The source of the odor was not discovered,
Da Silva said.
Chamber hosts Bring
your own ballot event
The San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce
held its inaugural Bring Your Own Ballot
party yesterday morning. Members were invit-
ed to bring their absentee or sample ballots and
all election mailings they have received to a
discussion on the propositions.
No one tries to talk anyone into their view-
point, they just share what they know, said
chamber President Linda Asbury, who has held
BYOB gatherings with family members for
years. She has found that talking propositions
over in a group helps everyone to gain a greater
understanding.
Who really sits down by yourself and reads
the ballot and understands everything? she
said.
The group talked through Proposition 40,
which Asbury pointed to as confusing.
You have to vote no to vote yes, she said.
We talked about what this really means.
Sharing her family tradition with her profes-
sional colleagues was a success, she said.
This will become one of our programs, she
said. About 20 people attended the two-hour
event. Asbury said this was a good number for
a discussion. The only thing that she would
change for next year would be to hold three
different events.

DEMOCRACY AND YOUTH
By Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Cars that drive them-
selves may hold the potential to save thou-
sands of lives, an Obama administration safe-
ty ofcial said Tuesday, as the government
prepares to launch a research initiative to
determine the safety and reliability of auto-
mated driving technologies.
Automated vehicles are the next evolu-
tionary step in car technology, David
Strickland, head of the National Highway
Trafc Safety Administration, told an indus-
try gathering sponsored by Swedish automak-
er Volvo and the Swedish Embassy in
Washington. He said his agency has held
extensive discussions with automakers and
Google about what needs to happen before
automated cars can be safely introduced to
consumers.
Automated vehicles offer an important and
challenging method for reducing crash risk
that we believes holds great promise,
Strickland said. He noted that human error
was a factor in about 90 percent of the over
33,000 trafc deaths recorded in 2010. We
have the chance of ... saving thousands and
thousands of lives as cars in use today are
replaced with automated vehicles, he said.
Google is developing a eet of automated
vehicles. Most auto manufacturers are mov-
ing in that direction as well. Three states
Nevada, Florida and California have
authorized testing of automated cars on their
roads. Legislation has been proposed in sev-
eral other states and the District of Columbia.
The kinds of automated cars Google and
most automakers envision eventually bring-
ing to market involve the driver ceding con-
trol of the vehicle to its computers feet off
the pedals and hands off the wheel but still
remaining ready to retake control if neces-
sary, Strickland said. That means the driver
would need to monitor the vehicle and whats
going on outside it.

Beware of Measure A
Editor,
Californias high unemployment is
no accident. A recent nationwide study
revealed that the probability that the
sales tax increases unemployment is
extraordinarily high. The best estimate
is that Californias high sales tax
accounts for 20 percent of the states
unemployment.
The sales tax is a very efcient job-
killing machine.
If this measure passes, all county res-
idents will pay more when they buy a
new or used car no matter where in
California its purchased.
Some county employees can retire in
their early 50s with a pension equal to
100 percent of their salary paid for life.
Many more county employees can
retire at 65 with this 100 percent pen-
sion. They also receive full Social
Security pensions and some medical
benets. These are very expensive ben-
ets.
The county pays an average of
$30,196 per employee just for pensions
and $54,387 per employee just for their
benet package. The county spends an
incredible $268 million on employee
benets.
Pension reform getting employees to
pay more for these expensive benets
would save much more money than this
tax increase would generate.
Dont be misled by promises of more
services. The countys budget problems
have been created by the excessive bur-
den of benets, and there will be no
solution until taxpayers are relieved of
this burden.
We dont need a new tax and we
dont need higher unemployment.
Voting against this economy-damag-
ing tax increase sends a message to the
politicians to rein in the high cost of
pensions and benets now.

Letter to the editor
T
he San Bruno Park Elementary
School District has suffered
from chronic decit spending
for about ve years. It has relied on the
proceeds of a former schools sale to
bridge its budget gap and has been
plagued with poor leadership, inghting
and terrible communication.
This past year, the discussion of pos-
sible school closures was the epitome
of poor leadership and communication.
That ordeal was brought about by its
nancial challenges though closing a
school would only save $200,000 to
$225,000 annually. Still, the prospect
brought out many in the school com-
munities who asked for a better way. It
was that effort that resulted in this
recent push for Measure G, a $199 a
year parcel tax that aims to raise about
$2 million a year for ve years.
Proponents of the tax point to a worst-
case scenario if it and Proposition 30
both fail up to three school closures
and the possibility of a school year
shortened by up to 30 days, though that
estimate may be extreme. Those are
real concerns, but they are mainly
brought about by the districts lack of
focus on its nances and its inability to
communicate with its community about
possibilities and next steps.
In April, we expressed the need to
discuss nances rather than rattle cer-
tain communities with the possibility
their neighborhood school could close.
Another aspect that should be a larger
cause for concern is the constant
inghting on the board. That can be
solved through elections, but time and
again, the community has ignored our
pleas for new leadership and returned
those who seem to relish the position
on the board rather than working with
the community at large for the better-
ment of San Bruno schools.
There is always a temptation to sim-
ply throw support behind the measure
because the communitys children may
suffer by the effects of its failure. After
all, does anyone really want to talk
about a shortened school year and up to
three school closures? However, the
districts current leadership has placed
itself in this situation and forced much
of the heavy lifting onto the backs of
well-intended and sincere parent volun-
teers who are left worrying about the
worst-case scenario after scrambling
this year to save their respective
schools.
This is no way to run a district and
no way to run a campaign for addition-
al money. At the very least, the district
should embark on a new effort to
address its nances and its policy of
decit spending. From there, several
options should be outlined that include
certain cuts and possible consolida-
tions. That is the way to build trust in
the community, trust that is vital to any
effort asking for additional funds when
times are tight for everyone. The dis-
trict simply does not have the commu-
nitys trust right now, and it is impracti-
cal to ask for money when there does
not seem to be a plan for it.
Measure G is vague, its timing is
poor and the community would be wise
to call for changes to the districts lead-
ership before committing to more
money for it.
No on Measure G Thinking for ourselves?
D
emocratic politics are always dangerous
because unless the people have common
sense and public virtue, they can be seduced
into very bad things. Robert Bellah, Habits of the
Heart.
Back in the 1980s, when Nancy and Ronald Reagan
were reported to be looking to astrologists for help in
making decisions about their activities, it caused quite a
stir. The way people were so astounded and embarrassed
about it, youd think that they hadnt noticed that Reagan
had been living in a world of tinsel and fantasy all along.
And it certainly wasnt the first indication of insecurity in
the White House. The pub-
lics attitude seemed to be, I
mean, really, a president that
would go THAT far to get
advice must really lack a
sense of confidence. And
astrology is SO unscientif-
ic!
I doubt if the Reagans
were all that much different
from other politicians who
look for outside guidance to
tell them how to think and
what to do. And consider the
rest of us. Even the wealth
and health of our economy is
based on the consumer who
can be brainwashed into living the lifestyle that feeds the
coffers of technology and industry. Of course, they want
you to have the freedom of choice whether to drink
Pepsi or Coke, drive a Cadillac or BMW or how about
both?
Consider the mother of young children who knocks her-
self out to be what society expects her to be, even though
it means days filled with exhaustion. Add the person who
stays in a job he hates because he wants to appear suc-
cessful, people who turn their minds over to evangelists
and the corporate leader who ignores ethical and moral
concern for the good of the company.
A great number of our decisions are not really our own
but are suggested to us from the outside; we have succeed-
ed in persuading ourselves that it is we who have made the
decisions, whereas we have actually conformed with
expectations of others, driven by the fear of isolation and
by more direct threats to our life, freedom and comfort,
wrote Eric Fromm in Escape from Freedom.
And then again, does anyone really know that there is
absolutely nothing valuable about intelligently and sin-
cerely conducted astrological inquiry? Just because the
idea has been exploited and misused by greedy oppor-
tunists, doesnt mean that there could not be some truth
behind it and that it could possibly be useful. Had
President Reagan said he was asking for guidance from the
pope, would the reaction have been the same?
When it comes to controversial ideas, questionable prac-
tices, persuasive con men (from the politician, to the evan-
gelist, to the star-gazer), we need to ask ourselves a few
questions before we decide to go along with their ideas,
discard them or keep them on hold.
Am I looking for someone to cling to who will think for
me? Have I worked on developing personal, moral and
ethical values that are my own? Have I thought through
the pros and cons and used my own personal, ethical and
moral values and guidelines instead of automatically
adopting other peoples views no matter how persuasive
they may be? Do I avoid making decisions one way or the
other until I have done research on the subject? Do I real-
ize that most people who are out to persuade me to think
the way they do are not really interested in me but are
serving their own interest, whether it be self-aggrandize-
ment, power or profit? As Ashleigh Brilliant quipped: I
know the way the wind is blowing, but I still have to fol-
low my own course.
By the time we are adults, we should be over the hero-
worshiping phase. We should realize that no matter who is
trying to convince us that they have all the answers, that
no one is perfect. They, like the rest of us, are fallible
human beings, and certain types will go to any lengths to
win over the gullible and accomplish their self-serving,
narcissistic goals.
With the presidential election coming up, it is very
important that voters dont mindlessly attach themselves to
a candidate because of his perceived charisma, something
he has said or worse, something depicted by his hench-
men in a political commercial that is very likely to be
exaggerated or untrue. Skepticism is where its at
including when checking astrological charts (I once was
told that the sign of my birth date indicates that I am very
opinionated! Hmm!! Hard to believe!).
You can fool some of the people some of the time. You
can fool some of the people all of the time. But you cannot
fool all of the people all of the time. Abraham
Lincoln.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Nobody was expecting
this round of corporate nancial reports to
be great. But underwhelming results
particularly revenue, which offers a read
on the economy are still rattling
investors.
The Dow Jones industrial average
plunged Tuesday to its lowest level in
nearly seven weeks. Big-name companies
reported weak quarterly revenue and low-
ered their forecasts for the rest of the year.
Since the end of the Great Recession,
investors have rewarded companies for
increasing prot, even if revenue growth
has been unimpressive. And companies
have turned in three years of growing
prot.
But companies can squeeze prot many
ways, including cost-cutting, and revenue
offers a truer read on customer demand.
That is on investors minds as the world
economy lumbers along.
And even the prot streak may be over.
Financial analysts predicted that prot
would fall at S&P 500 companies for July
through September compared with the
year before, which would end a three-year
streak.
On Tuesday, the Dow sank as much as
262 points, or roughly 2 percent, before
ending the day down 243.36 points to
13,102.53. The decline was the Dows
third-steepest this year.
Other indexes also fell sharply. The
Standard & Poors 500 index shed 20.71
points to 1,413.11, and the Nasdaq com-
posite index lost 26.50 points to 2,990.46.
The Nasdaq hadnt closed below 3,000
since Aug. 6.
Companies of all stripes signaled that
the economy is far from healed, and that
demand is weaker than a year ago.
Revenue fell compared with a year ago at
DuPont, 3M, UPS and Xerox.
Because of their global footprints and
variety of products and services, those
companies augur how the world economy
is performing.
Chemical maker DuPont said it will
have to cut jobs and other expenses to
make up for weak demand. 3M, which
makes all manner of products including
Scotch tape and coatings for LCD screens,
cut its prot prediction for the year.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Facebook nally has
proof that it can make money from
mobile advertising.
As part of Tuesdays third-quarter
results, the worlds biggest social media
company disclosed for the rst time that
some 14 percent of its ad revenue came
from mobile advertising. It started show-
ing ads to users who access Facebook
from their phones and tablet computers
about six months ago.
Since before the companys initial pub-
lic offering in May, investors had been
concerned that Facebook wasnt taking
advantage of its growing mobile user
base.
I want to dispel this myth that
Facebook cant make money on mobile,
said CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a confer-
ence call with analysts. This may (have
seemed) true earlier this year because we
hadnt started trying yet.
Tuesdays quarterly nancial report
Facebooks second as a public compa-
ny sent its stock sharply higher in
after-hours trading. The stock jumped
$1.90, or 9.7 percent, to $21.40 after the
announcement. Facebook had closed up
18 cents at $19.50 in regular trading on a
day that saw the Dow Jones Industrial
Average drop 243 points, or 1.8 percent.
Facebook Inc. posted a loss of $59 mil-
lion, or 2 cents per share, in the July-
September period. Thats down from
earnings of $227 million, or 10 cents per
share a year ago, when Facebook was
still privately held.
Excluding special items, mainly relat-
ed stock compensation expenses,
Facebook Inc. earned $311 million, or 12
cents per share, in the latest quarter, a
penny better than what analysts were
expecting.
Revenue rose 32 percent to $1.26 bil-
lion from $954 million.
Facebook 3Q results show mobile ad growth
Fed likely to send wait-and-see signal at meeting
WASHINGTON Six weeks ago, the Federal Reserve
unveiled its latest plan to invigorate the U.S. economy. This
week, the Fed will likely send a simple message:
Give that plan time to work.
No major announcements are expected when the Feds latest
two-day policy meeting ends Wednesday. Instead, ofcials will
likely afrm their plan to buy mortgage bonds as long as nec-
essary to make home buying more affordable, keep short-term
interest rates at record lows through mid-2015 and take other
stimulative steps if hiring doesnt pick up.
Those policies are intended to support an economy thats
shown ashes of strength but isnt growing fast enough to cre-
ate many jobs or to increase Americans income. The economy
grew at a meager 1.3 percent annual rate in the April-June
quarter.
Amgen 3Q profit jumps on lower costs, higher sales
TRENTON, N.J. Biotech drugmaker Amgen Inc. said
Tuesday that its third-quarter prot more than doubled from a
year ago, when a huge legal reserve charge weighed down
results. It trounced Wall Street expectations and raised its prof-
it forecast sharply.
The maker of anemia drugs Aranesp and Epogen said net
income was $1.11 billion, or $1.41 per share. Thats up from
$454 million, or 50 cents a share, in 2011s third quarter.
Adjusted income was $1.31 bilion, or $1.67 per share.
Analysts expected $1.48.
Netflix slashes its forecast for subscriber gains
LOS ANGELES Netix slashed its prediction for how
many U.S. video streaming subscribers it would add this year
after subpar third-quarter results, causing a sharp sell-off in its
stock in after-hours trading. The Los Gatos-based company
said it added 1.2 million net streaming subscribers in the U.S.
in the three months through September, which was on the low
end of its forecast for gains between 1 million to 1.8 million.
Netix didnt pinpoint the exact cause of the shortfall, but
last quarter it said it worried that huge audiences for the
Olympics would cut into viewing hours and sign-ups.

SAN FRANCISCO From postseason
bystander to starting the
World Series opener.
Thats how far Barry
Zito has come in two
years to resurrect his
career.
The resurgent left-
hander will pitch Game
1 for the San Francisco Giants on
Wednesday night against Justin Verlander
and the Detroit Tigers.
Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday he
will go with Zito, who has turned around his
career this year. His stellar outing in a 5-0
victory on Friday night in Game 5 of the NL
championship series at Busch Stadium
helped San Francisco rally from a 3-1 series

Much like defense wins championships in
football, World Series are usually decided
by pitching. The San Francisco Giants
showed what strong pitching can do in win-
ning the 2010 World Series and theyll need
to be on top of their game when they face
the Detroit Tigers in the 2012 version of the
Fall Classic.
Its really going to come down to starting
pitcher, said Bill Laskey, former Giants
pitcher and current pre- and post-game ana-
lyst on Comcast Sports Network-Bay Area,
and also former softball coach at Aragon.
When it goes to (the Tigers) bullpen,
thats where they have trouble.
The task for the Giants is to get to that
bullpen and, considering how well the Tigers
starters have pitched in the playoffs, thats
going to be a tall order. Laskey said Detroit
starters have pitched 27 1/3 innings in the
playoffs and have an earned run average of

STANFORD One of the last
things that might come to mind
when most people think about
Stanford is a spread-option forma-
tion and a running quarterback.
Now times really are changing
without Andrew Luck this season.
With Josh Nunes struggling to
find consistency, Stanford coach
David Shaw has started to mix
things up more at quarterback. Not
because he has lost condence in
the redshirt junior. Its more that
backup Kevin Hogan has just been
that impressive, and the different
looks might benet both.
Its kind of like having, excuse
me for saying it, but like a Tim
Tebow on our team, fullback Ryan
Hewitt said. He relishes the role.
He likes it.
Hogans role has been expanding
each of the last four games.
The redshirt freshman tossed his
first collegiate pass a 9-yard
touchdown to tight end Levine
Toilolo at a critical point in the
No. 19 Cardinals 21-3 victory at
rival California last week, and hes
another piece Washington State
coach Mike Leach has to game plan
for ahead of Saturdays matchup at
Stanford Stadium.
Shaw shelved most of Lucks run-
ning plays to Andrews dismay,
he said last season to protect the
NFLs eventual No. 1 overall pick
from an injury.
After watching Hogan play the
scout team quarterback last year,
when he mimicked opponents
styles such as Oregons spread and
UCLAs pistol offenses in practice,
Shaw saw something that might
work on Stanfords side. Shaw start-
ed implementing packages for
Hogan similar to the way Stanford
(5-2, 3-1 Pac-12) did with Alex
Loukas in 2008, and Hogan ran his
rst play for 5 yards in a 17-13 loss
at Washington in the fourth game of
this season.
Hogan entered at quarterback for
six plays against California
although one was a false start penal-
ty, and another appearance the pre-
vious week at Notre Dame was
wiped out by a penalty. The
Cardinal added another wrinkle
when Hogan rolled right and tossed
the touchdown to Toilolo in the rst
half of the victory at Cal last week.
This is not a wildcat. This is not
a running back thats just a running
back. Hes an athletic guy that can
pass, Shaw said. Those are things
that we can take advantage of as an
offense.
Shaw had trumpeted Hogans
skills during fall practice. He often
told reporters not to discount him
from the starting quarterback com-
petition, which had been largely a
two-man race between Nunes and
Brett Nottingham in the spring and
most of the summer, though most
laughed that off at the time.
Shaw still considers Nottingham,
who is listed second on the depth
chart, ready to run the offense
should anything happen to Nunes.
But Hogan has been the one earning
plays on the eld with his unique
set of skills.
Some people think that some of
these guys are like wind up, you
wind them up and you put them out
there and say, Well, how come he
doesnt play? Shaw said. No. 1,
our team, you have to earn the right
to get on the eld by practicing well
in practice. Weve known Kevin can
run and throw, but we werent going
to put him out there until he was
efcient in that role.
Hogan ran some at his Virginia
high school in a spread-style
offense.

LOS ANGELES Andre Bertos thick
hands drum out a rhythm on the table, and his
words accelerate slightly as he proclaims his
innocence. Even after a failed doping test ear-
lier this year, the former welterweight cham-
pion insists he has always been a clean ght-
er.
Me and my family, we pride ourselves off
of hard work, thats it, Berto said. Thats
what everybody I know comes from. When
the situation happened, it denitely hurt us,
because we know what type of people we are.
Everybody thats close to us, they know we
pride ourselves off hard work. Nothing else in
between.
Berto (28-1, 22 KOs) realizes his reputation
could have been indelibly stained in many
boxing minds by his positive test in May for
norandrosterone, a detectable metabolite of
nandrolone, scrapping a high-prole rematch
of his only loss to Victor Ortiz.
Without being publicly specic, the ghter
and his camp have claimed the positive test
was due to contamination in a nutritional sup-
plement or food, a common complaint among
athletes in several sports who have been
accused of nandrolone usage.
The California State Athletic Commission
believed the fighters evidence, licensing
Berto in August.
After a 14-month ring absence, Berto will
meet former 135-pound champion Robert
Guerrero at Citizens Business Bank Arena in
Ontario, Calif., on Nov. 24 in a welterweight
title bout. Berto and Guerrero met at the
downtown Grammy Museum on Tuesday,
posing for a good-natured faceoff to formally
announce their ght.
Bertos ght to reclaim his reputation will
go on a bit longer than those 12 rounds.
I knew I didnt do anything wrong, Berto
said. Thats why I felt that I wasnt through
with (boxing). It hurt me to a point, because I
cant believe that it happened the way it did,
and to be realistic, there wasnt any type of
explanation for it on my end. I just had to go
through that process of taking the criticism
and walking through that dark aisle until
everything came to the forefront, which it
did.
Bertos frustration only surfaces when hes
asked whether his doping test could cast a
shadow over his entire pro career.
A south Florida native with a mixed-mar-
tial-artist father and two ghting siblings,
Berto competed for Haiti at the Athens
Olympics before winning the WBCs 147-
pound title in 2008 and making ve defenses.
Berto believes the California commissions
decision vindicates him, and hes condent his
fans agree.
Weve proven everything, Berto said.
Youve seen everybody else that got caught
in that type of situation, theyve been (sus-
pended) for a year, theyve been gone for a
certain amount of time. Us, we came to the
table, went through the correct steps with the
commission, and they went back and tested
those products, and they saw exactly what it
was. They said we didnt do anything at all,
and thats why were back.
Others will be tougher to persuade.
Guerrero said he has no idea whether Berto is
telling the truth.

For the third time in four years, a
freshman captured the Peninsula
Athletic League girls golf individual
championship.
San Mateos Aman Sangha shot a
2-over 74 to claim the title Tuesday
afternoon at Poplar Creek Golf
Course, shooting a 38 on the front
nine and following it with a 36 over
the nal nine holes. Her birdie-par
nish was good enough for a three-
shot victory over teammate Lisa
Sasaki.
I felt pretty good. I messed up on
my front nine, Sangha said. I just
wanted to play as well as I can. I just
wanted to shoot my best.
Sangha helped guide San Mateo to
the regular-season team champi-
onship as the Bearcats nished with
a perfect 12-0 mark in team play,
which earned them an automatic
team spot in the Central Coast
Section tournament. She came into
the PAL tournament as the top qual-
ier and she made that stand up.
Sanhas group, which included
Sasaki along with 2011 champ Kelly
Fang of Aragon and 2009 and 2010
champion Xin Fang of Menlo-
Atherton, shot the best four rounds
of the day. In addition to Sasakis 77,
Xin Fang nished with a 79 and
Kelly Fang was a shot back at 80.
Rounding out the top 10 were
Burlingames Allie Economou and
Nichole Gedman, who both shot an
85, Aragons Valerie Chen with an
87, Menlo-Athertons Ashley Utz
with a 90, Alicia Avalo of
Burlingame with a 93 and Carolyn
Wong of San Mateo nished with a
95.
Other than Sangha and the rest of
the San Mateo team, anyone who
shot 90 or better has a chance to
qualify for CCS as an individual
player. They wont know for sure,
however, until the eld is set Friday.
There are only 24 individual spots
available in the CCS tournament, so
there are still a lot of variables in
play as to who makes the tourna-
ment.
Sasaki, who nished third last
year, had a chance to put pressure on
Sangha. Sasaki was a stroke ahead at
the turn, ring a 37 on the front, but
she bogeyed No. 17 and managed
only par on No. 18.
[My round was] OK. Denitely
room for improvement, said Sasaki,
a sophomore. Im OK with my
score. Im happy with my round.
San Mateo coach Jimmy Ikeda
was not surprised to see his top two
players play solid rounds of golf
Tuesday. He denitely wasnt caught
off guard by Sanghas performance.
This year we were fortunate to
have Aman come in, said Ikeda,
whose team is riding a 24-match
unbeaten streak in PAL play. In her
rst high school match, she shot 2-
under. The nice thing about Aman is
this kid is focused and dedicated
and is really a hard worker. She plays
here (at Poplar Creek). Weve all
seen her the last couple of years.
[She] made us that much better.
Kelly Fang, who held off Xin Fang
for the PAL title last year, was a bit
surprised when she added up her
score at the end of the round.
I wasnt disappointed not win-
ning. I was disappointed my effort
lacked in places, Kelly Fang said. I
was denitely surprised (with my
nal score). I was sure I would be
around 75 or less. Thats just part
of the golf. It can be frustrating, but
you have to accept it.
To have three players re rounds in
the 70s shows how far girls golf has
come on the Peninsula. In 2002, for
example, the PAL champion shot an
82 to win. Tuesday, that score would
have been good for fth place.
Basically, (several years ago) we
had individuals who played year
round. Now, teams are excelling,
said Aragon coach Guy Oling, who
has coached the Dons since the late
1990s. Its an appealing game. Its a
game thats now accepted. There are
more avenues for young people to
play. You have to credit the San
Mateo Union High School District
credit for providing the opportunity.
[The district] could have easily put it
on the chopping block. Our district is
really strong in golf as far as sup-
porting it.
You also have to give credit to
Poplar Creek for providing a facility
to play on.
San Mateo freshman wins PAL golf title

For the College of San Mateo
womens water polo team, the time
to sink or swim is right here, right
now.
In a bunched up Coast
Conference where every game in
the crucial 2 through 4 slots is up for
grabs, the Bulldogs face their nal
two regular season matchups
against teams with the same sce-
nario in mind avoid Foothill
College in the conference tourna-
ment in two weeks.
Id say this week is more impor-
tant than next week because the
implications that go beyond confer-
ence, said head coach Randy
Wright. At this point, we still con-
trol our destiny. But if you dont
take care of business this week,
were going to have to rely on other
people. So, this is it.
The scenarios get pretty convolut-
ed if you think about CSM losses to
either Cabrillo College (on
Wednesday) or Santa Rosa College
(on Saturday). So try to keep up: If
the Bulldogs beat Cabrillo and
Ohlone College loses to Merced
College, CSM locked up the No. 2
spot in the division. If both teams
win, Ohlone takes second based on
the head-to-head tie breaker. But if
CSM losses and Ohlone wins, the
Bulldogs can drop all the way to the
fourth slot meaning an almost guar-
anteed matchup with Foothill in the
seminals (if they make it that far)
during the conference tournament.
Bottom line is, these next two
games are playoff caliber for the
young Bulldogs.
In order to get a win against
Cabrillo, CSM will have to turn the
page following a 7-3 loss to Ohlone
last week.
Ohlone was picked by most to be
the second-best team in conference
this year and theyve come on
strong, Wright said. By all means,
it was a concerning game.
The game plan was to continue
getting them into foul trouble,
watch out for No. 3 and No. 12,
Wright said. Well, if you look at
the stat line, No. 3 had zero goals
and two kickouts, so she was in foul
trouble and No. 12 had one goal. So,
we took their two best players to
task and they only scored one goal.
We didnt get kicked out one time
we were 0 for 6 on our power
play. So right there is the number
that is glaring the ability to n-
ish. Its been a pervasive problem
the last few weeks.
And that problem cant persist
against a Cabrillo team that Wright
feels has a better goal keeper than
Ohlone.
You start going through and

(Ohlone) do that was so great?
They didnt do a whole lot great,
Wright said. But we did less. We
played great defense. We had a great
game plan. We had the shots that we
wanted. We just didnt execute.
The shots are there. Theyre
great looks looks that were
established in practice. We had 23
missed shots and 14 of them were
bar-outs or air balls. Its just cant be
that way. You have to make goalies
make saves.
Cabrillo beat CSM earlier in the
season and that poses problems this
time as well, albeit against a more
experienced Bulldog team.
Theyre a very athletic team,
Wright said. Were going to have
come out and execute the game plan
to a T which we havent been
doing. Again, its the pervasive
problem of having to execute we
have to nd the back of the net.
Those opportunities are going to be
there, its just how we make the
most out of those opportunities.
The game against Santa Rosa on
Saturday is just as important for
CSM. A win there (after beating
Cabrillo on Wednesday) all but
assures them a trip to the NorCal
tournament, regardless of how CSM
nishes in the Coast Conference
tournament.
Its make or break time for CSM polo
We have to nd the back of the net.Those
opportunities are going to be there, its just
how we make the most out of those opportunities.

rounds when the Giants won it all in 2010,
Zito made a conscious decision to nd his
way by just plain having fun again forget-
ting one bad start and moving on to the next.
Whatever he has done to change his mental
approach, it has certainly paid off on the
mound.
It doesnt hurt he now has four pitches to
bafe batters aside from just that nasty curve-
ball that has dened his career back in the
early days of the Big Three with Tim
Hudson and Mark Mulder across the bay
with the Oakland Athletics.
Its hard to sum it up in one answer, Zito
said after beating the Cardinals. Its just a
plethora of things that Ive done and gone
through here with the Giants. But the most
important thing was to come out and give
everything Ive got.
The Giants have won Zitos last 13 starts
dating to Aug. 7. The 2002 AL Cy Young
Award winner with Oakland went 15-8 for his
most wins since joining the Giants on a $126
million, seven-year con-
tract before the 2007 sea-
son.
And what ideal timing
for Zito to shine in a sea-
son that two-time NL Cy
Young Award winner Tim
Lincecum faltered.
Hes been through a
lot, obviously. He took
the beatings, Giants gen-
eral manager Brian Sabean said of Zito.
Hes always been a stand-up guy, hes never
stopped working. In his own way hes never
stopped believing and hes made changes.
Hes made changes when he had to. I actual-
ly dont think other than when he rst came
here that he was supposed to be the lead dog
in the staff as it turned out the young guys
were so good so fast. You look back in
Oakland he was just one of the group. I dont
think the money ever bothered him.
Still, when Zito won Game 5 last week, he
said how special it was to deliver in his most
important start yet of his 13-year big league
career.
Zito has been so good hes trending on
Twitter with his own hashtag and, now,
(hashtag)RallyZito rolls on to the World
Series. Not that hes paying a lot of attention.
I tried Twitter a couple of years ago and it
was a pretty devastating experience for me,
Zito said the other day with a laugh. I learned
to not check the inbox. So I got off Twitter.
Im excited that the fans are red up.
That support sure has meant a lot to Zito,
who has always said the right thing even
through the down times. Bochy praised his
class in handling the 2010 situation. All those
boos that came from every which way for so
long have turned to cheers and thunderous
standing ovations.
In this game sometimes we forget at times
what were all capable of, and I think those
are the times when we struggle a little bit,
Zito said.
Zito won his last ve regular-season starts
and seven decisions of the regular season
since a loss Aug. 2 to the Mets.
He has tweaked his delivery, added a cut
fastball and learned to make adjustments right
away when things go wrong. Working with
pitching coach Dave Righetti has helped, too.
I think Barry really deserves most of the
credit along with Dave Righetti, with them
working together, Bochy said. Sometimes
in this game youve got to make changes,
adjustments, thats what the game is about.
And Barrys done that. Hes a little different
than what he was when he won the Cy Young.
Maybe he doesnt have that same velocity. So
hes had to I think change his style of pitching
a little bit. And hes come up with the cutter.
And I think hes pitching down more than he
used to.
0.66. Justin Verlander, Detroits starter in
Game 1, has been lights out all season and
especially in the playoffs. Hes made three
starts this postseason, has thrown 23 scoreless
innings with a 0.74 ERA with 25 strikeouts. In
two starts against Oakland in the American
League Division Series, Verlander allowed
one earned run, gave up seven hits and struck
out 22. In his lone start against the New York
Yankees in the American League
Championship Series, Verlander pitched into
the ninth inning, allowing just one run on
three hits.
The Tigers have already indicated Verlander
could possibly pitch in three games during the
World Series.
Hes a machine (right) now, Laskey said.
Hes like a high school kid throwing to Little
Leaguers.
Laskey, however, believes many people are
sleeping on Detroits probable Game 2 starter,
Doug Fister, who has a 1.28 ERA in the play-
offs. Then theres Max Sherzer (0.78 ERA)
and Anibal Sanchez (1.35 ERA), who gave the
Giants ts when he pitched for the Miami
Marlins.
(Detroit manager) Jim Leyland is probably
going to push his starters as far as he can,
Laskey said, in an effort to not use his bullpen
much. The rst two games are going to be
real important. When [Detroit] has Verlander
and Fister, you hope for a split.
All of the Tigers starters throw hard and rely
primarily on the fastball, which should bode
well for San Francisco. Laskey said Detroits
starters are more in line with National League
pitching in that they work off the fastball,
while American League pitchers tend to throw
more breaking balls as way of neutralizing all
the power hitters in the American League.
The National League likes fastball pitch-
ing, Laskey said.
San Franciscos Brandon Belt proved that
when he turned around a 98 mph fastball from
St. Louis closer Jason Motte and deposited it
high up in the right-eld bleachers in the
Giants 9-0 NLCS-clinching win Monday
night.
In contrast to Detroit, San Franciscos
starters have mostly struggled this postseason.
The Giants bullpen, however, has been lights
out. Unless San Francisco starters are dealing,
Laskey expects manager Bruce Bochy turning
to his bullpen relatively early in games.
The Giants are probably going to try to
push their [starters] four, ve innings because
their bullpen is so good, Laskey said.
Laskey said the Giants might have a bit of
an advantage in Game 1 considering Detroit
has been sitting around for nearly a week
since sweeping New York in the ALCS.
Baseball players are a creature of habit and
are used to playing games nearly every day. If
there is a little bit of rust, San Francisco could
take advantage.
I think there is an advantage there (for the
Giants), Laskey said. Thats the momentum
factor. A team that sits it takes them a cou-
ple games to get that momentum going. If you
look at the All-Star break and (players) take
three or four days off, they go straight into a
slump.
Its Detroits pitching, coupled with a pro-
lic offense that has many experts predicting
a relatively easy World Series win, at which
Laskey bristles. He believes many are not giv-
ing the Giants credit for going 6-0 in elimina-
tion games this postseason. San Francisco
won three straight in Cincinnati to eliminate
the Reds in the NLDS and then won three in a
row to beat the Cardinals.
The only thing I dont like is people saying
the Tigers are going to come in and kick (San
Franciscos) ass. [The Giants] have taken little
mistakes and opened the door (offensively).
Theyre relentless right now. There is no fear
right now, Laskey said. I think the momen-
tum is with the Giants for having to play two
hard series. Winning three straight against
Cincinnati, winning three straight against the
Cardinals, no one said they could do it. They
faced (Philadelphia ace Roy) Halladay (in the
2010 playoffs). They have faced (former
Texas ace) Cliff Lee (in the 2010 World
Series). They are not going in with fear.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT Syrian warplanes on
Tuesday struck a strategic rebel-held
town in the countrys north in an attempt
to reopen a key supply route, activists
said, as a U.N.-proposed cease-fire
meant to start this week appeared
increasingly unlikely to take hold.
The U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria
has suggested that both sides in Syrias
19-month-old conict lay down their
arms during Eid al-Adha, a four-day
Muslim holiday that begins Friday.
However, neither Syrian President
Bashar Assad nor rebels ghting to top-
ple him have committed to a truce, and
international envoy Lakhdar Brahimi
has not said how such a truce would be
monitored.
Syrias stalemated civil war, which has
frequently spilled over Syrias borders
and threatens to destabilize an already
volatile region, featured prominently in
the nal pre-election debate Monday in
the U.S. between President Barack
Obama and his Republican challenger,
Mitt Romney,
Both men said they would not send
American troops to Syria, but Romney
pledged to help arm rebels after vetting
the intended recipients, earning him
praise from Syrian opposition leaders.
Obama warned of the risk of giving the
rebels heavy weapons that could fall into
the wrong hands and later be used
against the U.S. or its allies.
By not arming the (rebel) Free Syrian
Army with heavy weapons, he (Obama)
is giving Assad the upper hand, said
Muhieddine Lathkani, a member of the
Syrian National Council, an umbrella of
opposition groups.
The rebels have said they need heavier
weapons to counter Assads military
superiority, particular from the air. Since
the summer, the regime has increasingly
pounded rebel positions with warplanes
and helicopter gunships.
On Tuesday, government aircraft
attacked Maaret al-Numan and the vil-
lage of Mar Shamsheh, as troops and
rebels battled over a nearby Syrian mili-
tary camp that has been under siege for
days, according to the Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The activist group reported more than
two dozen casualties among the rebels,
but did not have the breakdown of killed
and wounded.
Opposition ghters seized Maaret al-
Numan, which lies along the main high-
way between Aleppo and Damascus,
earlier this month. Their presence has
disrupted the regimes ability to send
supplies and reinforcements to the
northwest. This has hampered the gov-
ernments ght in Aleppo, where troops
are bogged down in a bloody ght for
control of the countrys largest city.
Amateur video posted Monday
showed rebel ghters unleashing heavy
bursts of machine-gun re, apparently at
a convoy heading to the besieged army
camp. Syria restricts access to foreign
reporters and the authenticity of the
video could not be independently con-
rmed.
An international human rights group,
meanwhile, said the Syrian air force
stepped up attacks with cluster bombs in
the past two weeks, dropping more over
a wider area, despite Damascus denials
that it has used the widely banned muni-
tions.

Damaged buildings are seen after what activists said was shelling by forces loyal
to Syrias President Bashar al-Assad in Homs.
Jamaica prepares for Tropical Storm Sandy
KINGSTON, Jamaica Jamaicans on Tuesday stocked up
on supplies and reinforced roofs ahead of the arrival of Tropical
Storm Sandy, which is expected to hit the island of posh resorts
and sprawling shantytowns as a hurricane with lashing rain and
wind.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said the
strengthening Sandy was churning over warm Caribbean waters
and should reach Jamaica on Wednesday. The late season storm
is expected to travel from south to north over the Caribbean
country, which hasnt sustained a direct hit from a hurricanes
eye since powerful Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. Hurricane condi-
tions were possible in eastern Cuba by Wednesday night.
On Tuesday, the outer bands of the approaching storm were
already drenching parts of Jamaica with intermittent downpours
that sent brown water rushing down streets and gullies. Tropical
storm winds and sustained rains were expected in the evening.
Report: Illegal Mexican migration to U.S. stabilizes
MEXICO CITY The number of migrants crossing illegal-
ly into the United States from Mexico appears to have risen
some in the rst half of 2012, while the number of migrants
returning to Mexico decreased, a report by U.S. and Mexican
researchers said Tuesday.
It was the rst time the net outow of migrants from Mexico
has increased since the 2007 economic slump caused a sharp
drop in both migration and the amount of money sent home by
Mexicans working in the U.S. as migrants found it harder to nd
work north of the border.
The report by Mexicos Colegio de la Frontera Norte and the
University of Southern Californias Tomas Rivera Policy
Institute said the number of Mexican-born people in the United
States seemed to have stabilized at around 11.7 million and
might grow slightly by years end.
In Gaza visit, Qatari emir forges leading role
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip The emir of Qatar on Tuesday
became the rst head of state to visit the Gaza Strip since Hamas
militants seized the territory ve years ago, showering almost
half a billion dollars and unprecedented political recognition on
the Islamic militant group.
The landmark visit highlighted the tumultuous changes that
have swept the region during the Arab Spring events over the
past two years, pushing once-shunned Islamic movements to the
forefront of Mideast politics. Qatar, an oil-rich Gulf state, has
encouraged these changes by backing efforts for the ouster of
secular regimes.
