Failed negotiation brings

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Congress supercommittee conceded
ignominious defeat Monday in its quest to conquer a govern-
ment debt that stands at a staggering $15 trillion, unable to
overcome deep and enduring political divisions over taxes and
spending.
Stock prices plummeted at home and
across debt-scarred Europe as the panel
ended its brief, secretive existence without
an agreement. Republicans and Democrats
alike pointed ngers of blame, maneuvering
for political advantage in advance of 2012
elections less than a year away.
The impasse underscored grave doubts
about Washingtons political will to make
tough decisions and left a cloud of uncer-
tainty over the U.S. economy at the same
time that Greece, Italy, Spain and other European countries are
reeling from a spreading debt crisis and recession worries.
Lawmakers of both parties agreed action in Congress was
still required, somehow, and soon.
Despite our inability to bridge the committees signicant
differences, we end this process united in our belief that the
nations scal crisis must be addressed and that we cannot

San Mateos Off-the-Grid mobile food truck

Caltrain station were a hit with food lovers but
some restaurant owners said the Monday night
events did little to improve their businesses,

The events were so successful that Matt
Cohen, who operates Off-the-Grid, wants to
bring the gourmet trucks back next summer.
The last event in this years pilot phase is
scheduled Dec. 12.
The pilot phase was intended to allow
Cohen to adjust the event based on customer

Cops: Woman tried to
smuggle drugs in hollow Bible
LANCASTER, S.C. Deputies in
South Carolina say a woman used two
hollowed-out Bibles to try to smuggle
weapons, drugs and a cell phone to a
prison inmate.
Sheriff Barry Faile said Monday
authorities began investigating 28-year-
old Shareca Latoya Jones earlier this
month after a package mailed to Lieber
Correctional Institution was returned to
a post ofce in Lancaster. Inside the
package were two Bibles containing
razor knives, a cell phone, ecstasy pills
and more than 28 grams of cocaine.
Deputies identied Jones as the per-
son who mailed the package from a
Kershaw post ofce. In her car, authori-
ties found a loaded handgun, drugs, cell
phones and cash.
Jones is facing drug and contraband
charges. She was released from jail on
bond, and it wasnt known if she had an
attorney.
Judge denies Jackson
docs bid for new testing
LOS ANGELES A judge denied a
request Monday by lawyers for the doc-
tor convicted of causing Michael
Jacksons death to have an independent
laboratory test the contents of a key vial
of evidence.
Just days before the scheduled sen-
tencing of Dr. Conrad Murray, Superior
Court Judge Michael Pastor said defense
attorneys could have sought the testing
months ago or even during the doctors
six-week trial but chose not to.
Youre not involved in shing, youre
involved in foraging, Pastor said.
Murrays attorneys wanted a lab to test
a small amount of liquid found in a vial
of the anesthetic propofol that authori-
ties contend was used to help Jackson
sleep on the day he died.
Defense lawyer J. Michael Flanagan
argued the results would reveal the accu-
racy of a theory by a prosecution expert
who testied that Murray left Jacksons
bedside while the singer was on an IV
drip of propofol and the painkiller lido-
caine.
Murray had been giving Jackson
nightly doses of propofol to help the
singer sleep as he prepared for a series
of comeback concerts.
Deputy District Attorney David
Walgren contended there was no legal
basis for the testing and said Murray
received a fair trial.
Pastor examined the propofol vial,
which was found in the closet of
Jacksons bedroom, before issuing his
ruling.
Flanagan said it didnt occur to him
that the contents of the vial should be
tested until after the conclusion of
Murrays trial, which ended Nov. 7 with
the conviction of the cardiologist on an
involuntary manslaughter charge.
Flanagan said if prosecution expert
Dr. Steven Shafers theory is correct, the
small amount of liquid that remained in
the vial should contain lidocaine. In that
case, thats the ballgame and would
prove Murray did leave the singer alone
on an IV drip, Flanagan said.
Flanagan also argued that Shafer did-
nt tell jurors that he believed Murray
injected lidocaine into the propofol vial
until Shafer was called as a rebuttal wit-
ness in the nal moments of testimony.
Walgren said Shafer and other wit-
nesses acknowledged that they didnt
know exactly what happened in
Jacksons bedroom before the singers
death on June 25, 2009. Shafer was one
of several experts who told jurors that he
could only theorize on events based on
toxicology results, Murrays statements
to police and evidence found at the
scene.
Whether there was lidocaine in that
bottle or not is completely irrelevant,
Walgren said.
Murray is set to be sentenced on Nov.
29. Walgren said he is nalizing work on
a sentencing memorandum and several
people may speak during the hearing.
He did not say whether members of
Jacksons family, several of whom
attended the trial daily, would offer
statements.
Murray remains jailed and faces a pos-
sible sentence ranging from probation to
up to four years.

SACRAMENTO The acting director of
the California Department of Transportation
has asked local and federal prosecutors to
reconsider ling criminal charges against a
former technician accused of falsifying safety
tests on federally funded transportation proj-
ects.
In letters to Sacramento County District
Attorney Jan Scully and U.S. Attorney
Benjamin Wagner, Caltrans Acting Director
Malcolm Dougherty says the red employee,
Duane Wiles, falsied data on three construc-
tion projects a bridge in Riverside County,
a highway sign in Alameda County and a
retaining wall of an underpass in Los Angeles
County.
Wiles knowingly and willfully submitted
false data to Caltrans, in violation of federal
highway laws, says an accompanying report
by the federal Ofce of Inspector General sub-
mitted by Dougherty.
It says the U.S. Attorneys Ofce Eastern
District of California and Sacramento district
attorney previously declined to prosecute
because of a lack of federal interest or deter-
rent value, but Dougherty is asking them to
take a fresh look at the case in light of new
information.
A person who answered the phone at a list-
ing for Duane Wiles in Sacramento hung up
Monday on a reporter from the Associated
Press.
The department on Monday released thou-
sands of pages of documents about its investi-
gation into Wiles ahead of a Tuesday meeting
of the Senate Transportation and Housing
Committee to investigate California bridge
safety.
In a letter to committee chairman Sen. Mark
DeSaulnier, D-Concord, Dougherty called the
actions of the employee and his supervisor,
who was also red, unacceptable and repre-
hensible.
Better controls should have been in place
at that time to prevent such activities, he
wrote. Documentation should have been
more thorough and timely, and remedial
action should have been swifter.
Some of the information in the documents
contradicts information ofcials previously
reported in a conference call with reporters
last week. Ofcials then identied one of the
structures as being in San Bernardino rather
than Riverside, and said that faulty testing on
an underpass below Interstate 405 in Los
Angeles County was caught during construc-
tion and contractors replaced the piling.

Journalism students from the College of San
Mateo captured the highest honors for their
newspaper and website, along with individual
awards, at a regional conference in
Sacramento, just days before the presentation
of another honor for their coverage of the San
Bruno pipeline re.
The rst awards were presented during the
annual Northern California conference for the
Journalism Association of Community
Colleges, a statewide group serving communi-
ty college journalism programs.
The colleges newspaper and website, The
San Matean, were honored with General
Excellence, the highest awards possible. The
awards result from detailed assessments of the
newspaper and website in numerous cate-
gories, including writing, editing, photogra-
phy and graphics. The newspaper also was
honored last spring for General Excellence by
the JACC at its state conference.
Staff writer Jeffrey Gonzalez captured the
rst place award in the individual, on-the-spot
contest for opinion writing for his coverage of
the events keynote speaker. Kayla Figard,
editor of The San Matean, also captured sec-
ond place in the on-the-spot news category for
her report on the keynote. Gonzalez also gar-
nered a second place for photo illustration.
Yasmine Mahmoud, managing editor for The
San Matean, received an Honorable Mention
in the on-the-spot copy editing contest.
JACC hosts northern and southern confer-
ences each fall and a statewide conference
each spring. Nearly 250 students and advisers
from 18 colleges attended the event Saturday
at Sacramento State University that featured a
range of workshops and competitions. The
event includes mail-in contests, for which
work over the last year is sent in advance for
judging, and on-the-spot contests that run dur-
ing the conference under deadline pressure.

More Californians expected to
travel this Thanksgiving weekend
More Bay Area residents will spend
Thanksgiving away from home this year,
according to a recent travel survey conducted by
AAA of Northern California.
Despite budgetary constraints that have kept
millions of Californians from traveling during
the holidays over the past three years, approxi-
mately 5.3 million people statewide are expect-
ed to travel at least 50 miles during the
Thanksgiving weekend, according to the survey.
Thats a 4 percent increase over last years
numbers.
Many Californians have forgone holiday
family gatherings over the past three years,
AAA Northern California spokeswoman
Cynthia Harris said in a statement.
This year the overwhelming desire to travel
has taken hold, and the desire to create lasting
family memories is proving to be more impor-
tant that staying home for the Thanksgiving
weekend, she said.
With an estimated 4.5 million Californians
hitting the road this Thanksgiving, heavy con-
gestion is expected on roadways statewide,
according to AAA.

Two men and a teen charged in
the armed holdup of a San Mateo
barbershop last December will stand
trial next year on 10 counts of rst-
degree robbery and one count of
second-degree burglary.
Bryan Deonte Carter, 19, Dedrick
Montre Sevier, 21, and Bernard
Sims, 17, have all pleaded not guilty
to the charges. Although Sims is a
minor, prosecutors charged as an
adult with the same crimes.
The three rescheduled their Dec.
19 trial date just past the one-
year anniversary of their arrest
rather than settle their respective
cases at a pretrial conference yester-
day. The trio now stand trial March
5.
The three were arrested Dec. 17,
2010 on suspicion of robbing
employees and customers of the San
Mateo Zoo Barber Shop at 1226 El
Camino Real. Sevier, who is on
parole for a 2008 Menlo Park rob-
bery, allegedly brandished a Ruger
9mm handgun while ordering every-
one to the ground. The group
allegedly ed with jewelry, wallets
and cash.
Police responding to the incident
chased the getaway car southbound
on Highway 101 and off the Ralston
Avenue exit where the suspects
allegedly tossed the gun onto the
freeway and ran. Police apprehend-
ed the three along with a woman
reportedly driving the car and recov-
ered the gun and stolen property.
Sevier and Carter remain in cus-
tody in lieu of $100,000 bail. Sims
is free on the same bail amount.

SACRAMENTO California
would revamp its tax structure to
bring in about $10 billion more
annually under a bipartisan govern-
ment reform proposal put forward
Monday by some of the states most
prominent political and business
leaders and backed by a billionaire
investor.
The plan by the bipartisan Think
Long Committee for California
includes asking Californians to pay
sales taxes on all services except
medical care and education, in addi-
tion to the sales taxes already paid
on products. Many personal income
tax deductions would also disap-
pear, and the corporate income tax
rate would fall.
The groups proposal, which they
hope to put before voters in
November 2012, comes as the state
struggles with persistent multibil-
lion dollar decits that have sharply
cut state services.

local and

nations are
sometimes incapable of providing
its citizens with the basic necessity
of clean water.
However, Nicole Dudaney, a sen-

viewing a documentary on the
worlds dwindling fresh water sup-
ply in her advanced placement biol-

well.
With support from The Water

working to provide clean, safe
drinking water to nearly 1 billion
people in developing countries,

Rodna Martin
Rodna Martin, a former 59-year-resident
of San Carlos, died Nov. 17 in New
Braunfels, Texas, six weeks shy of her 94th
birthday.
A native of the Chicago area, Mrs. Martin
was preceded in death by her husband of 49
years, Joseph Martin, United Airlines first
engineer whose career with UAL and its
predecessors spanned 45 years. Mrs. Martin
met her future husband while she was
briefly employed at UAL in San Francisco,
where Joseph Martin had been transferred
by the company from Chicago.
During her working career she served as a
secretary for Wells Fargo Bank in San
Mateo and the California Teachers
Association in Burlingame. She was an avid
golfer until her 70s and a life-long bridge
player.
The Martins had no children and, in her
later years, Mrs. Martin was cared for by
various family members. She moved to New
Braunfels, Texas in 2009, after two years in
Medford, Ore. Prior to that, she lived in San
Carlos and later San Jose for more than 65
years.
She is survived by her nephew Michael
Thompson of Guam, nieces Patricia
Thompson-Sandul of San Miguel de
Allende, Mexico and Kelley Leonard of
Jacksonville, Ore., great-nephews Jorden
(cq) Leonard of Portland, Ore., Matthew
Leonard of Boulder, Colo. and great niece
Emily Leonard of Arcata, Calif.
Besides her husband Joseph Martin, she
was preceded in death by her brother Walter
Wright and nephew Martin Thompson.
At her request, there was no service.
Obituary
By Philip Elliott
MANCHESTER, N.H. Republican pres-
idential contender Newt Gingrich on Monday
proposed allowing younger workers still
decades away from retirement to bypass
Social Security and instead choose private
investment accounts that would be subject to
stock market gyrations.
The former House speaker, who has risen in
the polls, would allow younger workers to
take their share of the payroll tax that funds
Social Security and put it in a private account.
Employers would still pay their share of the
tax, which would be used to pay benets for
current retirees. But it would create a funding
shortfall that Gingrich brushed off.
That gap is more than covered by the sav-
ings that would come from giving states con-
trol of 185 social welfare programs, Gingrich
told reporters after a
speech that laid out broad
concepts but lacked key
details.
Gingrichs plan would
cover the near-term
decits by giving to states
responsibility for such
programs as AmeriCorps
volunteers, Section 8 pub-
lic housing and Pell
Grants for college stu-
dents. He said states were better suited to
administer those programs.
Gingrich said his retirement proposal, an
idea floated by Republicans before him,
would empower voters.
Wouldnt you rather control your
account? Gingrich asked an audience of stu-
dents at St. Anselm College.
His advisers couldnt say how much the
plan would cost, when it would begin or who
would be eligible. They did say, however, that
current retirees would continue to receive ben-
ets at promised levels.
Peter Ferrara, Gingrichs senior economic
policy adviser, said federal spending as a
whole would be reduced by half within the
next three decades.
Its a lot of reduction, he said.
At a business leaders breakfast earlier in
the day in Nashua, Gingrich predicted that the
program would save literally trillions over
the next generation.
Under the plan, workers would be able to do
one of two things: continue sending their
share of Social Security taxes to the popular,
safety-net program or give it to private rms
that would compete for those dollars as
much as $20,000 a year, Gingrich estimated.
No one is ever forced into the (private
account) system, he said after the speech.

MANCHESTER, N.H. Former
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is turning
President Barack Obamas own words against
him in the Republican hopefuls TV rst ad of
his 2012 White House bid.
Romney said Monday that his rst televi-
sion ad would start airing in New Hampshire
when the president visits the state Tuesday. He
said the commercial would compare Obamas
message as a candidate with Romneys cre-
dentials as a businessman.
The contrast between what he said and
what he did is so stark,
people will recognize we
really do need to have
someone new lead this
country, Romney said in
an interview with Fox
News Channel.
Romneys 60-second ad
features clips of an Obama
campaign stop in New
Hampshire four years ago
and fresh footage from Romney events from
recent days. The ad is slated to run through the
Thanksgiving holiday weekend at a cost of
$134,000.
Romney, who is at the top of state polls and is
sitting on a mound of campaign cash, has kept
his focus on Obama over the past year and large-
ly has shied from criticizing his GOP rivals.
I want people to remember that when he
was candidate Obama, that he said he was
going to get this economy going, he was going
to bring people together, be a real leader for
change in America, Romney said.
Obama is set to arrive in New Hampshire on
Tuesday to deliver an economic speech. For
months, Romney has given interviews to local
reporters in states Obama had on his schedule,
either pre-empting the presidents message or
rebutting it.

Judge voicing
support for
big water pact
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO A state
appeals judge on Monday strongly
defended a landmark agreement on
how Southern California gets its
water, casting aside arguments that
the pact should be scrapped because
the state essentially wrote a blank
check to save a dying lake.
Justice Ronald Robie noted that
the agreement addressed disputes
that have long deed easy answers.
Its a question of nding a proper
solution to a problem that has exist-
ed for a long time, and that requires
ingenuity, he said during a hearing.
A three-judge panel of the 3rd
Appellate District is considering
whether to overturn the pact, which
created the nations largest farm-to-
city water transfer and set new rules
for dividing the states share of the
Colorado River. Farmers and envi-
ronmentalists are challenging the
pact, while California water agen-
cies say it is critical to keeping an
uneasy peace regarding the river.
The court is expected to rule with-
in three months.
If a lower court ruling stands, con-
sequences could ripple to six other
western states and Mexico, which
also rely on the 1,450-mile river that
ows from the Rocky Mountains to
the Sea of Cortez.

DAVIS An angry crowd of
more than 2,000 people at the
University of California, Davis,
heckled the schools chancellor off
the stage Monday when she tried to
apologize for campus ofcers using
pepper spray on seated student pro-
testers.
Chancellor Linda Katehi made a
brief appearance at a demonstration
where students, faculty and commu-
nity members chanted slogans and
called for her resignation over the
spraying of students at an Occupy
encampment.
Im here to apologize. I feel hor-
rible for what happened Friday,
Katehi told the crowd. If you think
you dont want to be students of the
university we had on Friday, Im
just telling you, I dont want to be
the chancellor of the university we
had on Friday.
She asked the assembly to work
with her as she strives to earn the
trust of the campus. Then, as the
demonstrators yelled at her to step
down as chancellor, staff members
escorted Katehi away to a car.
University ofcials and campus
police have been the target of angry
reprisals since widely circulated
videos showed riot police dousing
pepper spray on a row of students
while they were sitting passively on
the ground with their arms linked.
Not long after the chancellor
spoke, students bought back their
tents to occupy the same plaza in
the middle of campus where the
clash occurred.
University spokeswoman Claudia
Morain said the school was moni-
toring the encampment and did not
say whether the students will be
allowed to camp overnight. She said
the school will take action step by
step to balance campus security
with peoples right to protest.
Meanwhile, demonstrators at the
University of California, Berkeley,
pledged to sleep overnight at Sproul
Plaza, though did not plan to set up
tents. A heat lamp was set up in the
plaza, and student protesters called
the demonstration a pajama party
rather than an encampment.
University of California President
Mark G. Yudof called the chancel-
lors of all 10 campuses and remind-
ed them of the right to protest
peacefully.
We cannot let this happen
again, he said, according to a state-
ment from the presidents ofce.
On Sunday, Katehi called on the
Yolo County district attorneys
office to investigate the police
departments use of force. A tele-
phone message left for the district
attorneys ofce wasnt immediate-
ly returned Monday.
With no uniformed officers in
attendance, students who were pep-
per-sprayed opened Mondays
protest, saying they now feel unsafe
on campus.
UC Davis students heckle chancellor
DAVIS The University of
California, Davis police officer
who casually swept a line of cam-
pus protesters with pepper spray is
now sweeping the Internet as the
latest meme. The heavy-set, musta-
chioed ofcer decked in riot gear
sparked outrage last week when he
was captured on video dousing the
faces of sitting Occupy protesters.
Now hes known online as the
Pepper Spraying Cop, shown
stinging the eyes of famous figures
throughout history and fiction.
Digitally altered photos show the
cop spraying everyone from Jesus
at the Last Supper to a baby being
held by President George W. Bush.
The university has declined to
release the name of the ofcer.
Chancellor Linda Katehi
announced Sunday that the depart-
ments police chief and two ofcers
have been placed on administrative
leave pending an investigation.

SACRAMENTO Lisa Gesik hesitates to
log into her Facebook account nowadays
because of unwanted friend requests, not
from long-ago classmates but from the ex-hus-
band now in prison for kidnapping her and her
daughter.
Neither Gesik nor prison ofcials can prove
her ex-husband is sending her the messages,
which feature photos of him wearing his
prison blues and dark sunglasses, arms
crossed as he poses in front of a prison gate. It
doesnt matter if hes sending them or some-
one else is the Newport, Ore., woman is
afraid and, as the days tick down to his
January release, is considering going into hid-
ing with her 12-year-old daughter.
Its just being victimized all over again,
she said.
Across the U.S. and beyond, inmates are
using social networks and the growing num-
bers of smartphones smuggled into prisons
and jails to harass their victims or accusers
and intimidate witnesses. California correc-
tions ofcials who monitor social networking
sites said they have found many instances in
which inmates taunted victims or made
unwanted sexual advances.
Like Gesiks case, its often difcult for
authorities to determine for sure whos send-
ing the threatening material and the few peo-
ple caught rarely face serious consequences.
The ability to have these kinds of contacts
is increasing exponentially. In many ways, the
law has not caught up with these changing
technologies, said Rob Bovett, an Oregon
district attorney whose office prosecuted
Gesiks ex-husband, Michael Gladney.
Timothy Heaphy, U.S. attorney for the
Western District of Virginia, said criminals
use of social networks to reach witnesses has
made his job harder.

WASHINGTON Heat-trapping green-
house gases in the atmosphere are building up
so high, so fast, that some scientists now think
the world can no longer limit global warming
to the level world leaders have agreed upon as
safe.
New gures from the U.N. weather agency
Monday showed that the three biggest green-
house gases not only reached record levels last
year but were increasing at an ever-faster rate,
despite efforts by many countries to reduce
emissions.
As world leaders meet next week in South
Africa to tackle the issue of climate change,
several scientists said their projections show it
is unlikely the world can hold warming to the
target set by leaders just two years ago in
Copenhagen.
The growth rate is increasing every
decade, said Jim Butler, director of the U.S.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administrations Global Monitoring Division.
Thats kind of scary.
Scientists cant say exactly what levels of
greenhouse gases are safe, but some fear a
continued rise in global temperatures will lead
to irreversible melting of some of the worlds
ice sheets and a several-foot rise in sea levels
over the centuries the so-called tipping
point.
The findings from the U.N. World
Meteorological Organization are consistent
with other grim reports issued recently. Earlier
this month, gures from the U.S. Department
of Energy showed that global carbon dioxide
emissions in 2010 jumped by the highest one-
year amount ever.
The WMO found that total carbon dioxide
levels in 2010 hit 389 parts per million, up
from 280 parts per million in 1750, before the
start of the Industrial Revolution. Levels
increased 1.5 ppm per year in the 1990s and
2.0 per year in the rst decade of this century,
and are now rising at a rate of 2.3 per year. The
top two other greenhouse gases methane
and nitrous oxide are also soaring.

NEW YORK Listen, and Ill tell you the
story of the bookstore chain that stormed into
the hottest category in consumer electronics
and conquered.
Its a nice underdog story, right? A bit like
the tale of plucky rebels who attacked Lord
Vaders Death Star.
But that was ction. Barnes & Noble Inc.s
new Nook Tablet ($249) is a solid product,
worthy of duking it out with Amazon.com
Inc.s Kindle Fire. Considering that the Nook
comes from a desert planet where the only
entertainment was shooting womp rats (Sorry,
I mean from a bookstore chain.), its really
impressive.
But the Nook doesnt quite muster enough
force to blow up a Death Star. Barnes &
Nobles earlier Nooks were dedicated book-
reading devices, and the Tablet is at most a
half-way step into the world of general-pur-
pose tablet computing.
Like the new Kindle Fire, the Tablet has a 7-
inch, touch-sensitive color screen, about half
the size of the iPads. Its the same screen as
on the Nook Color, the e-reader Barnes &
Noble launched a year ago. I thought it was
the best e-reader yet when it launched.

Health care cuts
Editor,
With health care reform around the corner,
California should be preparing for an inux
of two to three million more Californians in
the Medi-Cal program. With this expansion,
California and the Obama administration
should be making sure there are enough doc-
tors participating in Medi-Cal to provide
access to quality care for all patients. Instead,
the Obama administration just approved a 10
percent physician reimbursement rate cut that
will limit the number of physicians able to
take new Medi-Cal patients. While physi-
cians seeing Medi-Cal patients covered by
the Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM) are
fortunate that HPSM has decided to absorb
the 10 percent physician reimbursement cut
at this time, how many more cuts lie ahead?
What about the other CMS-approved cuts
that will impact our patients, such as the
large cuts in payments to the part of the hos-
pital that provides skilled nursing facilities
(distinct-part skilled nursing facilities DP-
SNFs) and allied health providers that HPSM
cant absorb? What happens if the State also
gets CMS approval to charge co-pays for
Medi-Cal patients? San Mateo Medical
Center CEO, Susan Ehrlich, M.D., also com-
mented on these cuts to health care services
adding that the San Mateo Medical Center
and the San Mateo County Health System
will experience a devastating $8 million
annualized rate reduction for DP-SNF servic-
es. With the equivalent of a 23 percent rate
reduction for these services, there is obvious-
ly going to be an impact on patient care. We
serve about 270 patients in DP-SNF beds per
day and the County Health System is still in
the process of evaluating how we will handle
this loss. The result of the states effort to
balance its budget by cutting critical health
will be catastrophic.

Let the citizens decide
Editor,
I am very upset with how the Millbrae City
Council is giving up on our Police
Department (Millbrae to outsource police
in the Nov. 16 edition of the Daily Journal). I
have been a city resident for 49 years and we
have always had good results from our police
calls. It seems to me that the council should
have let the citizens of Millbrae make that
decision. For the people, and by the people.

Speiers publicity stunt
Editor,
Jackie Speiers eating on $4.50 per day
was absolutely a publicity stunt and a patron-
izing one at that. If her sole motivation was
to gain an understanding of the difculty of
surviving on such a paltry sum (which seems
obvious enough), she could have done the
experiment privately. She did not need to
invite the press to watch her shop at Safeway.
That stunt was pure and unadulterated self-
promotion. The public saw it for what it was
and appropriately called her on it.

Speiers challenge a success
Editor,
Letter, Jackie Speiers challenge, in the
Nov. 10 edition of the Daily Journal, was a
snide and malicious attempt to belittle Jackie
Speier. Where is this man hiding? If he read
more of the news he would see almost daily
reports of her concern with the people of this
county and her interaction with them. Yes,
her challenge of existing on $4.50 a day did
draw reporters, but also attention to the peo-
ple who have to do it for more than a week.
If she just wanted publicity, she would have
gotten more by jumping off the Bay Bridge.
We are lucky to have her as a concerned rep-
resentative.

A respectful recovery program
Editor,
In response to Methadone clinic to be
managed by private company in the Nov. 14
edition of the Daily Journal, my name is
Roxanne Baker, also known as Rokki. I am
the president of the National Alliance for
Medication Assisted Recovery. We are an
advocate organization that deals with
patients rights and any problems patients
may have to help educate courts, judges,
family and even providers. I have worked
with Jason Kletter and Bay Area Addiction
Research and Treatment and nd them to be
one of the best providers in this state. They
run excellent programs where patients are lis-
tened to and taken care of as individuals, as
they should be. Jason and his great staff
know this is not a one size ts all type of
medical care. They are very patient-orientat-
ed and treat their patients with respect and
without stigma, which is all we ask as
patients.
San Mateo would do well to have a pro-
gram run by Jason Kletter and his company,
BAART.

Thanks for quick
service from Caltrans
Editor,
Tons of thanks to Raymondo of Caltrans,
who acted promptly on helping to avoid
potential serious injuries and worse due to
the poor visibility from tall bushes for
motorists traveling (fast) east on State Route
92, merging/meeting up with motorists com-
ing up (fast) on the ramp from El Camino
Real onto State Route 92. The bushes
obstructed the view of motorists, wherein a
judgment call as to speed, whether to slow
down or speed up, depending upon the other
drivers speed, could not be made until the
very last second when suddenly meeting up
with the other vehicles, a judgment call that
could be a matter of life or death and of seri-
ous injuries a collision that would most
likely also involve many others.
In December 2010, after repeated calls to
Caltrans regarding the safety hazard
involved, I called Raymondo on his cell-
phone which was provided to me, and
Raymondo and his supervisor soon after
assessed the situation and took necessary
action to rid of this blinding brush.
Recently, after a follow-up call to Raymondo
to alert him that the bushes had grown again
and was becoming obstructive, Raymondo
immediately saw to it that the area was once
again cleaned up and maintained.
Raymondo, you did a great service to all!

Zombie higher education?
Editor,
The student loan market is back in the
news as it makes its relentless march to the
$1 trillion mark. This crippling gure comes
in the face of a decade of lost wages for mid-
dle class Americans, just as the housing-bub-
ble people were supplementing a disappear-
ing middle class with more debt. The allure
of housing lay in the fact that we had never
seen, in our history, national home prices
fall, until they did in dramatic fashion.
The same cultural nostalgia for education
in every respect has created a zombie higher
education system that is now expanding like
the mortgage market at the height of the
housing bubble. This is a subject of increas-
ing concern to the Obama administration,
which remade the federal student loan pro-
gram and is now proposing changes that may
make it harder for the for-prot colleges to
qualify.
In the ve years since Congress deregulat-
ed online education, enrollments at for-prot
colleges have nearly doubled. Six major cor-
porations owning such institutions have
enjoyed initial public offerings on Wall
Street. Graduates of another for-prot school
a college nursing program in California
said that they received their diplomas
without ever setting foot in a hospital. We
have heard countless stories of people going
to for-prots, only to land minimum wage
jobs once they graduate. Just like the sub-
prime debacle, many of these people will
remain silent, and the market will pretend
nothing is wrong.

Dishing up
tradition
I
dont understand the allure of green bean
casserole. The dish is a holiday staple in
many households, including the one of
my childhood, along with the turkey and
yams, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce.
Right there in the middle of the spread always
sat the gloppy casserole, the 1970s-era master-
piece of condensed
cream of mush-
room soup, green
beans and French
fried onions.
Most likely the
personal turnoff to
the dish is the
onions, not being a
fan of them in
practically any
form. But onions
not withstanding,
green bean casse-
role is up there
with Jell-O salads, aspic anything and that
strange carrot and raisin debacle that passes as
a salad on my list of foods that make me ask
why? Yet, there was never a childhood
Thanksgiving meal without it.
Other food items came and went from the
table. There was that crazy year my mother
served jellied whole cranberries instead of that
fun red log that slid out of the can, molded
rings fully intact. Believe me, that was a big
shift. Diners also changed over time with the
passage of loved ones and the addition of new
faces. Even the at-table antics shifted over
time. Sometimes, my sweet Catholic grand-
mother would insist on saying grace even in
the face of heathen, non-god fearing relatives.
Other years, we could barely wait for every
seat to be lled before digging in. Around 5
years old, I insisted on wearing a paper pil-
grim hat made in kindergarten and pushed my
brother to play Indian with a construction
paper feather-adorned vest made out of a gro-
cery bag. By high school, costumes were out
but not creativity as evidenced by the year my
inebriated uncle retold the Thanksgiving story.
Seems the Indians shared with the Pilgrims
their corn, turkey and a particular herb now
deemed medicinal. No wonder the two groups
enjoyed the bountiful food so much.
Even the post-meal hours had their regulari-
ty, including my deep-seated need to watch
Chitty Chitty Bang Bay every year and my
dads eventual snoring from his La-Z-Boy.
Even these rituals, though, had shakeups
caused by football games, tryptophan attacks
and the need to work on our Christmas gift
lists.
Yes, despite the small tweaks every year
like clockwork, the casserole appeared on the
Thanksgiving table regardless of whether it
was eaten by the masses.
That is, as they say, a hard-and-fast tradi-
tion.
In other households, stufng is the untouch-
able dish. At the home where I now break
bread on Thanksgiving, near riots break out if
there is not served both a savory and sweet
stufng. Each have their legion of fans and
there dare not be one without the other.
The same holds for pie. Although pumpkin
always reigns supreme at Thanksgiving,
strong arguments can be made for apple,
pecan and even the occasional cheesecake. Yet
even those whod prefer a aky pastry crust
full of delicate apple slices and cant stand the
soft pumpkin lling would have a hard time
denying its rightful place in the traditional
meal. Its kind of like the aforementioned
casserole; it might not be a favorite, it might
not even be good and it might not be anything
Ill ever put on the menu. But it is a helping of
nostalgia and very little is more lling at the
holidays.
No, Ill never understand the allure of the
green bean casserole but I certainly under-
stand its place on the table with everything
and everybody for whom there is thanks.

NEW YORK The stock market was
not exactly surprised that a so-called
supercommittee in Congress failed to
reach a deal to cut the federal budget
decit. But since summer, investors have
sold at the rst hint of trouble.
So on Monday, they sold big. The
Dow Jones industrial average lost almost
250 points on a day when investors
despaired over debt problems at home
and abroad.
Members of the special committee,
created in August to come up with $1.2
trillion in decit cuts over 10 years, indi-
cated all day that there would be no deal.
After the market closed, the committees
bipartisan leadership made it ofcial.
Theyre essentially giving up, said
Robert Robis, head of fixed income
macro strategies at ING Investment
Management.
The supercommittee stalemate is sup-
posed to trigger automatic spending cuts
across the government, but there were
already hints that Congress would nd a
way around them. Analysts say that
could lead to another downgrade of the
U.S. credit rating.
In addition, the failure raises the ques-
tion of how a gridlocked Congress will
nd a way to renew a cut in the Social
Security tax or agree on whether to
extend long-term unemployment bene-
ts.
Congress passed the tax cut last
December for one year, and some law-
makers support extending it through
2012 because economic growth remains
weak. Both measures would put cash in
the pockets of Americans, who can
spend it and help the economy grow.
The stalemate also shows lawmakers
may not be able to make progress on
anything budget-related in the coming
months, said Robert Pavlik, chief market
strategist with Banyan Partners LLC in
New York.
It shows that theres a bigger problem
at hand, and if they cant work to resolve
these relatively small yet meaningful
issues, whats going to happen if we get
into a situation like Europe is in? he
said. And were kind of headed there.
The result was another day of heavy
selling in a market that has grown used
to big swings. The Dow nished down
248.85 points, or 2.1 percent, at
11,547.31. At its low point of the day,
the Dow was down 342.
Volatility seized the stock market in
late July, when Congress was wrestling
with whether to raise the limit on how
much the federal government can bor-
row.

Gilead Sciences Inc. will spend about $11
billion to buy Pharmasset Inc. in what one
analyst termed an amazing risk, a high
stakes gamble that could yield billions of
dollars in drug sales if a possible ground-
breaking hepatitis C treatment pans out.
Foster City-based Gilead said Monday
it will pay $137 per share in cash for
Pharmasset, a Princeton, N.J., company
with no products on the market and a
stock that has traded as low as $20.49 in
the past year. The announcement sent
Gileads stock tumbling and Pharmassets
soaring.
Analysts see promise in Pharmassets
lead candidate, a pill labeled PSI-7977
that has just started late-stage testing.
They say it could become a preferred
option for care if it works without the
injectable drug interferon, which can
leave patients with u-like symptoms that
last for months.
Before the drug reaches the market,
though, it must pass through the largest
and most expensive stage of clinical test-
ing and receive Food and Drug
Administration approval. Analyst Erik
Gordon of University of Michigans Ross
School of Business said the price Gilead
agreed to pay multiplies the risk in that
process.
At that price, everything had better
work perfectly, he said.
Hepatitis C treatments represent a ripe
opportunity for drugmakers.

Brazils Wanderlei Silva celebrates his win over San Joses Cung Le at UFC 139 held at the HP Pavilion in San Jose Saturday night. The
promotion was making its rst stop in MMA-mad SanJose, and neither the fans nor the ghts disappointed.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Jose, were you not entertained?
Now a couple of days removed from the
Ultimate Fighting Championships debut in the
Bay Area after the rankings have been
reassessed, the injuries reported and the dust has
settled perhaps now its appropriate to appre-
ciate what the San Jose got to host Saturday
night.
UFC 139 was more than just another night of
mixed martial arts; it was a perfect re-acquain-
tance between sport and town. It was a right
cross to the temple. A bloody lip. A welcome
mat to a promotion that knows how to do no
wrong, especially in 2011.
The truth is, things couldnt have gone any
better for mixed martial arts premiere promo-
tion. Going into the event, the card that featured
local heroes like Cung Le, former champions
like Wanderlei Silva, and one of those dream
bouts between Mauricio Shogun Rua and Dan
Henderson, had a lot of promise. Throw into the
mix proven MMA stars like Urijah Faber and
Stephan Bonnar, and UFC 139 presented fans
with a lot of potential. But there are times when
potential can be a bad thing.
Especially when you consider that San Jose
isnt a place where you can come and serve up
just a so-so plate of mixed martial arts, throw
some blood on the side and expect fans to go
home content. For years, San Jose has been
Strikforces go-to city. Not just that, but current
UFC stars like Cain Velasquez call the city
home. Strikeforce was recently purchased by
UFC, opening the sports premiere promotion to
a rabid MMA city like San Jose.
UFC commissioner Dana White knew this,
and was behind the 8-ball a bit. Just a week
before, the UFC made its heavily-promoted
debut on FOX. White and his company jumped
face rst into the marketing and promotion of
that event a one-ght card that pitted
Velasquez against Junior Dos Santos. With
almost his entire focus on that ght and that
night, it could have been easy for UFC 139 to
get lost in the hoopla and backlash that followed.
But White isnt on top of the UFC by chance.
He did his homework and booked a card full of
potential in the hopes that, despite a lack of pro-
motion, the ghts would speak for themselves.
They did that, and more.
Not three minutes after the horn sounded
marking the end of Rua and Hendersons gladi-
ator-esque battle in front of 13,173 fans, when
those who follow the sport intimately were
already calling it one of the best ghts in MMA
history.
Thank you for being part of one of the most
Smashing UFC debut
S
erra baseball manager Craig
Gianinno said he wants to prepare
his players to the best of his ability
not just for the season but for those
looking to play beyond high school.
To help Serra baseball players and their
parents understand what it takes to be
recruited at the college level, last Thursday
the school hosted a panel of college coach-
es and players to give their experiences
with the recruiting processes and what
players and parents should expect.
Lets hear from the experts who live this
on a daily basis and have to go out and
speak to families and recruit families and
dive deeper into what it really takes (to be
a college recruit), Gianinno said of the
reasoning behind put-
ting the panel togeth-
er. To be honest, it
taught me a lot.
Gianinno brought
in representatives
from all the divisions
of college baseball:
community college
(CSMs Doug
Williams), NAIA
(Menlo Colleges
Stefan McGovern and
David Tufo), NCAA
Division II (San
Francisco States Mike Cummins) and
NCAA Division I (University of San
Franciscos Greg Moore) coaches. Also
part of the panel was Chris Petrini, a San
Bruno native who went to Sacred Heart
Cathedral and is now pitching with the
Baltimore Orioles, as well as 2009 Serra
graduate Tony Renda, who currently stars
at Cal. The event was a way to let families
know how the recruiting process works and
what to expect.
Nearly 100 Serra students and parents
attended the informational meeting.
It was great to get the perspectives of
the coaches and players, Jeff Bellomo, a
parent, said in a press release from the
school. It was very informative and help-
ful in understanding the nuances of colle-
giate athletics.
In San Mateo County, it may not be such
a bad thing to enroll at one of the three
community colleges Caada, College of
San Mateo or Skyline. All three are among
the best in Northern California and do a
tremendous job of transferring players on
to four-year schools or even into the Major
League Baseball draft.
Not everyone is ready to step into a
four-year school, CSM manager Doug
Williams said in a transcript from the
San Jose isnt a place where you can come and serve

OWINGS MILLS, Md. John Harbaugh
wont be hearing a lot of questions about
football this week. Neither will his brother,
Jim.
On Thanksgiving night, the Harbaughs will
become the rst brothers to face each other as
NFL head coaches. Although its a very
important game for the Baltimore Ravens (7-
3) and San Francisco 49ers (9-1), John and
Jim are clearly the bigger story.
And that might be the only reason why
John, who coaches the Ravens, and Jim, rook-
ie coach of the 49ers, are thankful its a short
work week.
John and Jim participated separately in
national conference calls
Monday. Few of the ques-
tions centered upon Xs and
Os.
Rather, they were asked
about themselves. Both
recalled the last time they
were on opposing teams
(an American Legion base-
ball game when they were
in high school). Everyone
wanted to know what it was like growing up
with a father whos a football coach. One
reporter even asked John about the treatment
their younger sister received (She pretty
much had the run of everything, John
revealed).
This much is certain: Its going to be a one-
of-a-kind Thanksgiving
for the Harbaugh clan.
All the extended
Harbaughs will have a
great time, one way or the
other, John said. There
will be one Harbaugh side
that will be really happy,
and there will be another
Harbaugh side that will be
really, really disappointed.
And then Mom and Dad will be torn. Thats
how I think it will go.
The sellout crowd at M&T Bank Stadium
will include plenty of Harbaughs, and John
will be footing the brunt of the bill.
Im the one whos had to get the tickets.
Thats been kind of an expensive proposition,
John said. I havent heard from Jim. I havent
really gotten an offer. I was surprised about
that.
Told about Johns concern, Jim said, Im
not keeping score on that. Well just keep
score of the ballgame.
The 49ers can clinch the NFL West title
with a win and a loss by the Seahawks on
Sunday, and the Ravens are looking to main-
tain their perch atop the AFC North. But even
the Harbaughs realize the signicance of this
game is in the matchup of John, 49, and
younger brother Jim, 47.
Its an amazing thing. To say that youre
not thinking about it probably wouldnt be
real, John said. Its a historic thing, its very
Harbaugh brothers poised for historic meeting

ALAMEDA For a franchise known for its
propensity to commit penalties, the Oakland
Raiders are reaching new highs or maybe it is
lows this season.
And that has coach Hue Jackson fuming not
just at the guilty players but also at the referees.
Jackson talked to league ofcials on Monday, a
day after he said calls against his team in a 27-21
win at Minnesota were unfair, complained that he
could not get explanations of calls from referee
Jerome Bogers crew and said he didnt even
know what football is right now with the way
some personal fouls were called.
Obviously after yesterday Ive probably
reached my boiling point, Jackson said Monday.
After spending most of his rst season as
Raiders coach refusing to criticize ofcials pub-
licly, Jackson snapped after the latest game that
included four personal fouls, including three on
one touchdown drive by
Minnesota in the rst quar-
ter.
All I ask is that when
people deal with our football
team, that its done fairly,
Jackson said. Now across
the league everyone says
everything is fair, and Im
not saying that its not. But
yesterday it was one game
that I felt very uncomfortable with what had hap-
pened. I was able to address it today. I said what I
said yesterday and felt very strongly about and
still feel strongly about it today. But Im going to
move on from that because that does me no good,
our football team no good.
Jackson said he did not expect to get ned for
his comments and the league would address the
complaints publicly. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello
said coaches can call head of ofciating Carl
Johnson for explanations of any calls and that the
league looked forward to answering Jacksons
questions.
The latest penalty spree started on a rst quar-
ter drive when defensive tackle Tommy Kelly was
called for a blow to quarterback Christian
Ponders head on a sack that would have forced a
punt. Linebacker Aaron Curry then received 15
yards for what the ofcials called roughing a
defenseless receiver on a completion to Kyle
Rudolph and safety Tyvon Branch was whistled
for a facemask on Percy Harvin.
Defensive lineman Desmond Bryant was later
called for unnecessary roughness in the fourth
quarter.
The Raiders have already committed 17 defen-
sive personal fouls this season more than dou-
ble the total of 29 teams and the most in the
league since the Chiefs had 19 in 1998.
The thing about it is football is a game full of
personal fouls, said Curry, who has three in just
ve games with Oakland. Theyre all personal. It
all depends on whether a referee decides to throw
his ag or not. Every hit we make, theyre all bor-
derline.
Oakland nished the game with 12 penalties
for 117 yards. That keeps the Raiders on a record-
setting pace. At this rate, Oakland would nish
the season with 164 penalties for 1,427 yards
surpassing the totals of 158 for 1,304 yards by
Kansas City in 1998.
Jackson vowed at the beginning of the season
to solve the penalty woes. He has had ofcials at
most practices to try to curtail the infractions and
the players have instituted nes for some penal-
ties. Theyre still happening, so now Jackson is
taking a different tack.
At the end of the day, we still need to get bet-
ter at doing what we do, but on top of that I just
want to make sure that just because we do need to
get better in some areas people arent saying,
OK, lets have a great day throwing this ag
today because theres the Raiders out here,
Jackson said. I think its been addressed and
well go forward.

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers safety Dashon Goldson
insists his ght with Arizona wide receiver Early Doucet was a one-time
transgression and said he addressed his teammates and coaches after
Sundays 23-7 win over the Cardinals regarding the mistake.
At the end of a play early in the fourth quarter, Goldson was down
away from the ball when he got blindsided and slapped on the back of
the helmet by Doucet. Goldson jumped up, confronted him and both
began swinging wildly. Goldson then threw a series of punches to
Doucets facemask and received a 15-yard personal foul penalty before
being ejected.
What happened is he was running his route and we kind of ran into
each other and we both fell. Im looking around to see if the ref saw any-
thing and all I feel is two punches to the head, Goldson said Monday.
I just got up and retaliated. It wasnt a smart thing. It wasnt a smart
decision on my behalf. I kind of lost it. Thats just something I cant do
as a vet and as a leader on this football team. I expressed that to my foot-
ball team yesterday and to my coaches and let them know Im willing to
accept my punishment whatever the case may be and it wont happen
again.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email that the league doesnt
plan to suspend Goldson, who will get word on a potential ne when
they are handed down Friday.
Doucet said after the game that Goldson took a cheap shot but he
also expects to be ned.
The ball was thrown and he took a cheap shot at me, Doucet said. I
fell, then I got up. The refs didnt throw the ag. Then I just lost my cool,
then I went after him and we had the little scufe.
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, whose team is riding an eight-game win-
ning streak and has been in control of the NFC West lead for weeks,
questioned the idea that a player cant retaliate. He would like to see ref-
erees also ag the rst offender, which in this case he says was Doucet.
Dashon was punched in the back of the head. And then retaliated.
What I think needs to be addressed is this mindset that you cant retali-
ate, Harbaugh said. Obviously theyre not going to see the rst one
its always the second guy that gets caught. And thats the one whos
going to get agged. ... But the rst one needs to get addressed. It needs
to be ofciated and it needs to be a foul. Otherwise, and you wonder if
people do it, as soon as the whistles blown, Hey, get the rst shot in.
The 27-year-old Goldson signed a one-year contract as a free agent in
August and has started every game during the 2009 and 10 seasons. He
has eight starts this year, with 45 tackles, three interceptions and a forced
fumble.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) The Tom Brady-Rob Gronkowski
connection kept clicking. The New England Patriots defense and special
teams kept rolling, too.
Brady threw two touchdown passes to Gronkowski, Julian Edelman
returned a punt 72 yards for another score and Kyle Arrington had two
interceptions to help the Patriots beat the Kansas City Chiefs 34-3 on
Monday night.
The Patriots (7-3) increased their AFC East lead to two games.
The Chiefs (4-6) werent expected to do much on offense behind
untested quarterback Tyler Palko, making his rst career start with Matt
Cassel injured. And they didnt, managing just a 26-yard eld goal by
Ryan Succop with 1:30 left in the rst quarter for their only lead.

NEW YORK Justin Verlander g-
ured time had run out on his chance to
become the rst starting pitcher in a
quarter-century to be voted Most
Valuable Player.
Last Tuesday, he found out about
12:40 p.m. that he was a unanimous
winner of the AL Cy Young Award. It
was closing in on 1 p.m. Monday, and
he still hadnt gotten word on the MVP.
I had told myself that it wasnt
going to happen, he said. I gured
somebody else got the call.
Not to worry, there was just a slight
delay because Verlander didnt give the
Baseball Writers Association of
America his telephone number, forcing
the BBWAA to relay the news through
Brian Britten, the Detroit Tigers direc-
tor of media relations.
It was just a weight off my shoul-
ders,Verlander said, and pure elation,
really.
After winning the ALs pitching

going 24-5 with a
2.40 ERA and
250 strikeouts,
V e r l a n d e r
received 13 of 28

and 280 points.
He became the
rst pitcher voted
MVP since
Oaklands Dennis
Eckersley in 1992 and the rst starting
pitcher since Bostons Roger Clemens
in 1986.
Obviously pitchers are not just writ-
ten off all of a sudden because theyre

epic ghts of all-time, said UFC color com-
mentator Joe Rogan after interviewing a
bloodied, beat-up, physically drained Rua.
Its hard to argue against Rogan if you wit-
nessed what Rua and Henderson accom-
plished in the octagon. The war had every-
thing an educated and experienced MMA fan
would want in a ght takedowns, knock-
downs, submission attempts, heavy fists,
comebacks, ground and pound and enough
blood to make a horror lm jealous.
There was more drama in those 25 minutes
of action than an entire evening of another
sporting event ghting or otherwise. And
that was exactly what the doctor ordered in a
place like San Jose that knows its MMA.
People who have been watching this sport
a long time appreciate what (Rua and
Henderson) did in there (Saturday night),
White said. This might be as good as it gets.
Every time you come off a ght like that,
youre going crazy. Without a doubt, that was
one of the top-three best ghts, ever, in MMA.
I have so much respect for both of those guys,
to dig down that deep in a ve-round ght.
That was our Ali-Frazier 3. It was unbeliev-
able.
White is his companys biggest promoter,
so perhaps its instinctual to want to take his
praise with some caution. But White isnt one
to mince words or to throw words like best
ever, or greatest around just for kicks.
Henderson won the ght in a unanimous deci-
sion, but the real winners were those who wit-
nessed the ve rounds of epic combat.
When you look at the level these two are at
and what was on the line, going ve rounds
and the way it went it was one of the sick-
est ghts Ive ever seen. Ever, White said.
Add to that war a ght between Le and
Silva that White awarded Fight of the Night
status (along with the main event), a superbly
entertaining showing and victory by Faber, a
bit of controversy in Martin Kampmanns
split decision win over Rick Story and a win
by Bonnar that has many believing a show-
down with Quinton Rampage Jackson is
inevitable, and everything fell into place per-
fectly for the UFC.
Those are the type of ghts that create a
legacy, Rua said.
Yes, and not just for a ghter; but also for a
promotion like the UFC looking to take over

conquered, UFC.

However, you have to nd the right t for the

The panelists also discussed the best way
to get college coaches to notice interested
players and the Internet can play a valuable
role.
YouTube is probably the best way we can

But being Internet savvy wont mean much
if a player cant write a legible sentence, in

viations.
Gianinno said a lot of high school players

admits this years Serra squad has already
had a couple of players sign letter of intents
to play at four-year schools, he said it was
his duty to make sure the rest of his players
know what their options are.

Saturdays this past weekend, on top of the

quarter, Menlo-Athertons Richard Cornew
caught a pass from Willy Fonua and raced
down the right sideline. A Santa Clara
defender came up to make the tackle but
Cornew made a full hurdle of the guy to keep
the play going. A big gain was nullied,
however, by a block in the back on the Bears,
but it was quite a feat for the 6-4, 210-pound
Cornew.
It was hard to tell if that was the best play
of the game, however. It could have belonged
to Santa Clara receiver Kingsley Okakpu.
Late in the fourth quarter, Santa Clara quar-
terback Jason Plater lofted a pass to Okakpu
near the goal line. The ball was a bit under-
thrown and the M-A defender was in front of
Okakpu, putting him in prime position to
make the interception. Okakpu, however,
reached over the defenders head and tipped
the ball up. It uttered over the M-A players
head and into the waiting arms of Okakpu,
who also managed to get one foot inbounds
to make an incredible catch.
Volleyball. Its amazing what a difference
one player can make. Take Palo Altos 6-5
middle blocker/hitter Melanie Wade off the
court and the Menlo-Atherton girls volley-
ball team matched up well with the Vikings
in the CCS Division I volleyball champi-
onship match.
With Wade on the court, however, the
Bears had no chance. They played as well as
they could but Palo Alto, with Wade, was
simply too much.
Even the California Interscholastic
Federation understands this. While Palo Alto
is the No. 1 seed in the Division I Northern
California tournament, the Bears earned the
No. 3 seed and will host No. 6 St. Marys at
7 p.m. Tuesday.

Just want to give a shout out to Sacred
Heart Prep athletic director Frank Rodriguez.
First off, he helps out the Daily Journal
immensely in tracking down athletes with
whom we wish to talk, as well as tracking
down action photos of Gators players, if we
need them. Earlier this season, he allowed
me to use his ofce computer at halftime of
the Terra Nova-SHP football game because I
needed to send some photos back to ofce.
Saturday afternoon at Independence High,
Rodriguez saved me again. After a late
Friday night that didnt have me home until
after midnight, I was up bright and early
Saturday and on the road by 9 a.m. for a
quartet of Central Coast Section champi-
onship matches three of which involved
Sacred Heart Prep. After sitting through two
Sacred Heart Prep water polo matches and
then the Menlo-Atherton-Palo Alto Division
I volleyball championship game, I was wait-
ing to talk to the M-A volleyball coach. She
was taking a while, so I was sitting in the
stands and decided to grab a bit of a cat nap.
Rodriguez must have seen me dozing. He
came up to me and offered to buy me a Coke
to get a jolt of sugar and caffeine and carry
me through the end of the Sacred Heart Prep-
Soquel championship volleyball match.
Thanks, Frank. It was exactly what I need-
ed at that point.

special. I couldnt be more proud for our par-
ents or for Jim. I just think its really neat.
Jim Harbaugh would probably have a
warmer regard for the matchup if he didnt
have to bring his team from San Francisco to
Baltimore just three days after playing
Arizona.
As far as the nostalgia of it, I think its very
considerate of the NFL to y us out there,
Jim said. I havent seen him on Thanksgiving
in I dont know how many years.
Just in case his sarcasm wasnt evident, he
added: Theres no doubt we got the short end
of the straw on this one, but well see if we
can make history its the rst two brothers
have coached against each other, and the rst
time an NFL team has traveled three times
zones to play a Thursday night game after a
Sunday game since the league went to a 16-
game schedule.
It really wont be much of a family gather-
ing. Jim and the 49ers will head back to the
West Coast after the game, and John isnt even
sure if their parents, Jack and Jackie, will
watch the game at the stadium.
Theyre talking about coming pregame and
being out there on the eld and then sneaking
away and watching it on TV, John said. I
think theyre kind of torn and conicted about
that.
The similarity of the brothers was evident
by their answers to identical questions. Asked
if the Harbaughs are the rst family of foot-
ball, John answered: I would never even go
there.
Jim responded: I dont have an opinion on
that.
The inevitable comparison between the
brothers veered way off target when a reporter
asked John: Is Jim cockier than you are?
The answer: Thats the most ridiculous
question Ive ever heard.
During Johns conference call, the topic
drifted briey to football when someone won-
dered whether standout linebacker Ray Lewis
would be available Thursday after missing
Sundays win over Cincinnati with a toe
injury.
John had no desire to give his brother or
anyone a clue about the status of the teams
defensive leader.
Is that something I really want to share
right now? he said. Would there be any
value in doing that?
HARBAUGHS
By Jenna Fryer
HOMESTEAD, Fla. Carl Edwards did
everything right in his quest to win
NASCARs championship.
He was strong and steady for 10 consecu-
tive weeks, he salvaged solid nishes on the
days his Roush Fenway Racing team strug-
gled, and he stood steely in the path of Tony
Stewarts unyielding verbal assault.
In almost any other year and all ve in
the Jimmie Johnson reign hed have woken
up Monday a NASCAR champion.
Not this year, though. And theres nothing
he could have done differ-
ently to change the out-
come.
Edwards went round-
for-round with Stewart in
what might be the greatest
fight for the title in
NASCAR history and lost.
The two nished tied in
the nal Sprint Cup Series
points standings a rst
in NASCAR history
and Stewart took the tiebreaker based on his
ve victories to Edwards one.
So despite winning the pole, leading the
most laps in Sundays season finale at
Homestead-Miami Speedway and nishing
second to Stewart, Edwards went home the
bridesmaid in what many believe to be the
most gripping championship-deciding race
ever.
We knew we could come into this thing
and we knew that of all of the circumstances
that could happen, this one was the least prob-
able, Edwards said. I mean, for us to nish
like that, tied, ghting for the win. That is the
least probable outcome.
If somebody had told Edwards a month ago
that hed close the season with three consecu-
tive second-place nishes and that hed close
the 10-race Chase with a 4.9-average nish,
hed most certainly have bet the house on his
odds to win the title.
But who could have known that a version of
Stewart not seen in these parts for years would
clog his path?
See, Smoke and his skills, his ability to do
anything he wants in a race car, his fearless-
ness and reckless abandon, its almost leg-
endary. People talk of that Stewart with awe
and revere and dole out the highest of com-
pliments when they describe him, simply, as
a racer.
And, yeah, the reputation precedes him.
The reality, though, was Stewart hadnt driven
up to his reputation, at least not in NASCAR,
for some time and that was evident at the
start of this season when he lost the Daytona
500 on the nal restart.
He slogged through the season, irting with
wins early, only to lose out by silly mistakes.
Then his Stewart-Haas Racing team lost
direction, and Stewart all but abandoned any
hope of being a major player in the champi-
onship race.
Something changed in the last six weeks,
though, and when Stewart got his eyes set on
a third championship, nothing was getting in
his way.
When someone wants to win like that, they
arent going to give up, A.J. Foyt, Stewarts
childhood idol, told The Associated Press on
Monday.
Tony was not going to quit. Period. Now, I
knew Carl Edwards wasnt going to lay down.
But Im pretty certain Carl Edwards didnt
know Tonys will. Come hell or high water,
Tony was winning the whole thing.
So thats how they got to late Sunday night,
when a disappointed Edwards sat silently in
Homesteads media center watching Stewarts
championship celebration on a bank of televi-
sions. Hed shaken Stewarts hand, and hed
consoled crew chief Bob Osborne, who had to
be devastated by the nal outcome.
But Edwards himself? He didnt pout. He
didnt scowl. And if he had himself a good
cry, he most certainly didnt do it in public.
There are those who say Edwards is so very
image-conscious that he must been less than
genuine. But his conduct in the hours after
Sundays race showed just how to act with
class and sportsmanship in the face of defeat.
I told myself, I told my family, that the one
thing Im going to do is Im going to walk
back to that motorhome, win, lose or draw,
and Im going to be a good example for my
kids and work hard and go be better next sea-
son, Edwards said.
Edwards knows he cant dwell on the
Chase, and even if he did second-guess the
last 10 weeks, hed be hard-pressed to nd a
single thing he could have done differently.
Edwards talked of taking his family to the
beach on Monday, of helping Roush-Fenway
celebrate Ricky Stenhouse Jr.s Nationwide
title, of getting back into the gym and starting
the preparations for 2012, when hell try again
to win his rst Cup title.
Edwards shows class,
dignity in losing title

HARTFORD, Conn. Kaleena
Mosqueda-Lewis scored 25 points
and Bria Hartley added 19 to help
No. 2 Connecticut beat third-ranked
Stanford 68-58 on Monday night.
The pair carried the Huskies (3-0)
for the rst 25 minutes as the rest of
UConn couldnt make a shot.
Trailing by six at the half,
Stanford (3-1) went on a 10-2 run to
start the second half, led by
Nnemkadi Ogwumike. Her layup
gave Stanford a 36-34 lead. UConn
answered as Stefanie Dolson hit a
layup ending an 0-for-24 drought
by the other Huskies to start the
game that began a 15-6 burst.
After Dolsons jumper, Hayes,
who missed her rst 10 shots, made
a layup and a 3-pointer. Hartleys
layup capped the run and made it
51-42 with 9:19 left. Stanford could
only get within six the rest of the
game.
Ogwumike scored 22 points and
freshman Jasmine Camp added a
career-best 14 to lead the Cardinal.
These two teams have developed
a vigorous rivalry over the past few
years. Before Monday, they had
played ve times in the last three
seasons with three of those meetings
coming in the Final Four. UConn
beat Stanford for the 2010 national
championship and the Cardinal
ended the Huskies NCAA record
90-game winning streak last
December.
Stanford had a chance to end
another streak as the Huskies had
won NCAA record 85 straight home
games, including 41 in a row at the
XL Center. The Huskies, who last
lost at home in the 2007 Big East
championship game, wouldnt let
that one end spurred on by the
13,771 fans, which included UConn
great Sue Bird.
This is the earliest these two pow-
erhouses have met on the schedule
and it was a chance for UConn to
see where it stood against a top
opponent. After two easy victories
to start the season, this was UConns
rst test since Maya Moore graduat-
ed. The four-time All-America and
two-time player of year, who helped
lead the Minnesota Lynx to a
WNBA title this past summer, was
at the game, shadowing ESPN com-
mentator Rebecca Lobo.
Without their all-time leading
scorer, UConn got off to a slow
start. The Huskies missed their rst
10 shots and trailed Stanford 5-2
before freshman Mosqueda-Lewis
took over. She made a driving layup
6 minutes into the game for
UConns rst basket.
She followed that up with a 3-
pointer as UConn went on an 8-0
run over the next 5 minutes.
After Stanford took a 21-19 lead
on Camps jumper, Lewis and
Hartley combined for all the points
during a 13-2 burst. Lewis capped
the run with a 3-pointer. UConn led
32-26 at the break.
She nished with 19 points at the
half and Hartley had 11. The two
were 12 for 18 while the rest of the
Huskies were 0 for 17. Lewis had 25
points in UConns win over Pacic.
Ogwumike picked up two quick
fouls and played just six minutes in
the rst half.
No. 2 UConn beats No. 3 Stanford
UConn 68, Stanford 58
Crosby has two goals,
two assists in return
PITTSBURGH Sidney Crosby
capped his comeback with a ourish.
The superstar forward scored twice
and added two assists in his season
debut and the Pittsburgh Penguins
crushed the New York Islanders 5-0
on Monday night.
Playing his rst game in more than
10 months while recovering from
concussion-like symptoms, Crosby
appeared to be in midseason form. He
scored on his third shift in spectacular
fashion, weaving through the New
York defense before beating Anders
Nilsson with a backhand for his rst
goal since last December.
Crosby added assists on goals by
Evgeni Malkin and Brooks Orpik and
capped his comeback with a second
tally, a backhand that uttered by
Nilsson early in the third period to
provide the nal margin.

You dont
have to live
like this!
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTO No need for a salt shaker
on the Thanksgiving table: Unless you really
cooked from scratch, theres lots of sodium
already hidden in the menu.
Stealth sodium can do a number on your
blood pressure. Americans eat way too much
salt, and most of it comes inside common
processed foods and restaurant meals.
The traditional Thanksgiving xings show
how easy sodium can sneak into the foods
youd least expect. Yes, raw turkey is natural-
ly low in sodium. But sometimes a turkey or
turkey breast is injected with salt water to
plump it, adding a hefty dose of sodium
before it even reaches the store something
youd have to read the ne print to discover.
From the stufng mix to the green bean
casserole to even pumpkin pie, a lot of people
can reach their daily sodium allotment or
more in that one big meal unless the cook
employs some tricks.
For Thanksgiving or any meal, the more
you can cook from scratch and have some
control over the sodium thats going in, the
better, says the American Dietetic
Associations Bethany Thayer, a registered
dietitian at the Henry Ford Health Health
System in Detroit.
The Food and Drug Administration this
month opened deliberations on how to cut
enough salt in processed foods for average
shoppers to have a good shot at meeting new
dietary guidelines. The idea: If sodium levels
gradually drop in the overall food supply, it
will ease the nations epidemic of high blood
pressure and our salt-riddled taste buds
will have time to adjust to the new avor.
Reducing sodium is important for nearly
everyone, Dr. Robin Ikeda of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention told the FDA
hearing.
The question is how to make that happen.
The prestigious Institute of Medicine and sev-
eral public health advocates are urging the
FDA to order gradual rollbacks, setting differ-
ent sodium levels for different kinds of foods,
a step the government has been reluctant to
take.
Food makers want a voluntary approach
and say theyre reworking their recipes, some
as part of a campaign launched by New York
City to cut salt consumption by at least 20
percent over ve years.
It will take different strategies to remove
salt from different foods and some may
need to be a sneak operation, Kraft Foods
Vice President Richard Black told the FDA
meeting. Ritz crackers labeled low-sodium
were a bust until the box was changed to say
Hint of Salt and those exact same crackers
started selling, he said.
In other foods, salt acts as a preservative
with a variety of functions. Kraft sells cheese
with somewhat less sodium in Britain than in
the U.S. Americans melt a lot of cheese and
lower-sodium cheese doesnt melt as well,
Black said.
In the U.S., the average person consumes
about 3,400 milligrams of sodium a day. The
nations new dietary guidelines say no one
should eat more than 2,300 milligrams of
sodium about whats in a teaspoon of salt
and half the population should eat even
less, just 1,500 milligrams. The smaller limit
is for anyone whos in their 50s or older,
African-Americans of any age, and anyone
suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes
or chronic kidney disease.
Why? One in three U.S. adults has high
blood pressure, a leading cause of heart
attacks, strokes and kidney failure. Being
overweight and inactive raises blood pressure,
too, but the weight of scientic evidence
shows sodium is a big culprit.
People want to eat heart-healthy, but Wal-
mart shoppers spend about 19 minutes buying
groceries, added Tres Bailey of Wal-mart
Stores Inc., which told its vendors to start cut-
ting sodium.
Thats not a lot of time for label-reading to
nd hidden sodium, especially in foods where
its unexpected like salad dressings that
can harbor more than 130 milligrams per
tablespoon.
Depending on your choices, Thanksgiving
dinner alone can pass 2,000 milligrams:
About 600 per serving from stufng mix,
another 270 from gravy. The salt water-added
turkey can bring another 320, double that if
you saved time and bought it fully-cooked.
Use canned beans in the green bean casserole
and add another 350. A small dinner roll adds
130. A piece of pumpkin pie could bring as
much as 350.
Hidden salt in your Thanksgiving menu
For Thanksgiving or any meal,the more you can cook from scratch and have some control over
the sodium thats going in, the better.

MILWAUKEE The season of giving has
started, with schools, churches and businesses
kicking off food drives that have become
annual holiday traditions. But many food
banks are asking donors to think twice before
dropping ramen noodles and frosted cereals in
donation barrels.
Many commonly donated foods are high in
salt, sugar or calories, making them poor
choices for people with high blood pressure,
diabetes and other diet-related health prob-
lems. With more people turning to food banks
and for longer periods of time, agency of-
cials say they need donations but theyd like
to see people give the kind of healthy and
nutritious items theyd serve to their own fam-
ilies.
Sherrie Tussler, the executive director of the
Hunger Task Forces Milwaukee ofce, said
people tend to donate cheap foods without
paying much attention to the nutrition content
and they may do so with the best of inten-
tions. For example, people who fondly recall
living off of ramen noodles in college tend to
donate them to food banks, even though a sin-
gle serving can have half the recommended
daily allowance of sodium.
We say, if thats what youre going to give,
turn around and get a bag of rice, Tussler
said. Its just as good a value, it lasts for
more meals and theres no salt.
Pantry ofcials also say they receive plenty
of soups, along with processed foods such as
ravioli. Many varieties are heavy on calories
and salt and light on nutrients. Better choices
would be low-sodium soups and bags of
whole-wheat pasta.
Tussler also recommended avoiding fruit
packed in heavy syrups and drinks that arent
100 percent juice which are often diluted
with sugar water.
Those are the type of products that could
kill Dorothy Jones, a 63-year-old diabetic
who picks up food once a month at a
Milwaukee food pantry to supplement her
Social Security checks. Jones has to watch her
sugar intake, and after a heart attack two
months ago, her doctor also told her to reduce
her intake of salt, fats and carbohydrates.
Jones said she understands the impulse to try
to lift peoples spirits with cookies and other
treats but theyre no good for a diabetic.
To be honest Id rather have fruit, she
said.
Thats an item most food drive organizers
wont accept because of concerns about
spoilage, and many donors on tight budg-
ets themselves dont feel they can spring
for.
But many larger food banks also receive
food from corporate donors retailers, gro-
Food banks need healthier donations
Do donate:
low-sugar cereal such as Cheerios or Chex;
peanut butter;
cans or plastic containers of juice (make
sure its 100 percent juice);
canned vegetables,any variety,marked lite
or low-sodium;
bags of pinto or black beans;
rice;
canned tuna sh;
and powdered milk fortied with vitamin
D.
Donors should avoid:
foods high in sodium, fat, oils or sugar;
chips, candy, cookies and crackers
sugary beverages;
items in glass bottles;
and items that are expired or in damaged
packaging.
Some food pantries are equipped to
accept frozen foods such as turkey,
chicken and vegetables and other
perishables like fruit and milk, but donors
should call ahead.

cery stores and food manufacturers and
groups that grow fruits and vegetables. Those
donations go a long way toward helping them
provide healthy meals. Cindy McCown, a
director at the Second Harvest Food Bank in
San Jose, Calif., said nearly half of what her
organization provides is fresh produce.
That kind of help is important to people like
Patricia Howard, 50, who picked up a bag of
groceries at a Salvation Army pantry in
Milwaukee. She needs iron because she has
anemia and said shed rather get it by eating
leafy greens than taking supplements. The
grocery bag she received recently included
peanut butter, spaghetti, tomato sauce and
corn akes all foods that she said were
valuable.
The fact that people donate something, Im
grateful for that, Howard said. But I just
hope people ask themselves, Am I giving
something healthy?
The Greater Chicago Food Depository,
which supplies 650 pantries, soup kitchens
and shelter, gets the bulk of its donations from
corporations, and executive Bob Dolgan said
it doesnt accept candy, chips and soda.
We also dont see those items as being in
demand in pantries, he said. They want
meat, dairy, bread, produce.
Some food pantries are equipped to accept
frozen foods such as turkey, chicken and veg-
etables and other perishables like fruit and
milk, but donors should call ahead.
The simplest and most appreciated
donation is cash. Pantry ofcials can use the
money cash or grocery gift cards to buy
whatever healthy staples are in low supply.
Also, because they purchase in bulk, they get
more for the money than the average grocery
shopper does.
A $15 donation goes a long way toward
getting fresh, healthy stuff, Tussler said.
People say $15 doesnt do much because it
only buys one meal but really, it makes a big
difference.

town.
Last night, in a special study session, the City
Council gave its blessing to allow such events in
downtown seasonally at least for one more year,
although Councilman Robert Ross opposed the
move.
Ross conducted his own survey of downtown
businesses and concluded the food trucks are a
detriment to brick-and-mortar restaurants.
At least 65 percent in my survey said they
did not want the trucks, Ross said. I do not
favor food trucks downtown.
He said the city should side with businesses
already established downtown, that pay sales
and/or property taxes to the city.
But the rest of the council gave the food
trucks the thumbs up at least for one more
year, likely to be held seasonally from spring to
fall. It is no guarantee, however, that it will be
Off-the-Grid that holds the events. It could be
another vendor depending on negotiations.
Councilman Brandt Grotte said he initially
opposed the idea of having Off-the-Grid operate
downtown but said last night he now sees some
positive sides to the events.
The trick, he said, is to reduce the impact on
existing restaurants.
The Downtown San Mateo Association
approached Cohen about bringing the trucks to
San Mateo after seeing how successful they
were in San Francisco.
DSMA President Kris Cesena said the group
wants to see Off-the-Grid come back to down-
town next year.
Foot trafc is moving through downtown
from the events, Cesena said. If the event con-
tinues, we can promote downtown even more.
The DSMA was expecting some brick-and-
mortar restaurant owners to object to the trucks
and the city sent out 748 surveys to downtown
businesses recently for feedback.
Only 38 businesses responded, however, 12
of them being restaurants.
The survey results show that 45 percent of
businesses agreed that the food truck event
brought more foot trafc downtown. About 30
percent disagreed and 25 percent were neutral.
Of the 12 restaurants surveyed, only 25 per-
cent agreed that Off-the-Grid brought more foot
trafc downtown. About 50 percent disagreed
and 25 percent were neutral, according to the
survey.
The survey also asked for the business
owners experience with the food truck events.
Of the 38 businesses that responded, 62 percent
had a positive experience and 15 percent had a
negative experience.
But when just surveying the restaurant own-
ers, only 25 percent said they had a positive
experience.
The city also surveyed Off-the-Grid cus-
tomers, with 254 responding.
People said they liked the event because of
the tasty food with plenty of outdoor seating.
Many also felt the event is a fun experience that
provides a variety of food.
Some of Off-the-Grids vendors include
Mamas Empanadas, Street Eatz, Hapa SF and
Senor Sisig among others.
About 84 percent of respondents said they
attended Off-the-Grid with others, however, 61
percent indicated they did not do anything else
in downtown other than attend the event.
However, 39 percent said they also went
shopping downtown, saw a movie or ate at a
local restaurant, according to the customer sur-
vey.
About 71 percent of respondents said they
would have simply eaten at home if they would
not have attended the event.
Most, 96 percent, said they would attend a
food truck again in San Mateo, according to the
survey.
Many of the respondents, 39 percent, live
outside of San Mateo, according to the survey.
Councilman David Lim said the city should
take advantage of the food truck trend consider-
ing it may not last beyond a couple of years.
We need to nd a way to draw the people
attracted to food trucks to our nearby restau-
rants, Lim said.

A fingerprint was collected from an Oct.
30 armed robbery at a Petsmart in San Jose
which was matched to an identification from
the San Mateo crime.
The prints matched to Ricky Sanders, 34,
out of Oakland, who was arrested in
Alameda County Nov. 7, according to San
Mateo police.
The crimes were linked to more than 30
similar armed robberies in several cities in
the Bay Area throughout the year and inves-
tigators from multiple jurisdictions, in shar-
ing this information, discovered some
marked similarities in the method of opera-
tion and suspect description.
The series was dubbed the Chrome
Revolver Bandit series and the investiga-
tion involved police from San Francisco,
San Jose, San Mateo, Daly City, Colma,
Redwood City, Pacifica, San Bruno,
Fremont, San Leandro and Mountain View,
according to San Mateo police.

LONDON The AIDS epidem-
ic is leveling off and the number of
people newly infected with the virus
that causes it has remained
unchanged since 2007, the United
Nations said in a report Monday.
Critics say that the bodys aim of
wiping out the disease is overly
optimistic, however, considering
there is no vaccine, millions remain
untreated and donations have
slumped amid the economic crisis.
There were 2.7 million new HIV
infections last year, approximately
the same gure as in the three previ-
ous years, said the report from
UNAIDS, the joint United Nations
program on HIV and AIDS. The g-
ures largely conrm earlier ndings
released by the group in June.
At the end of last year, there were
about 34 million people with HIV,
the virus that causes AIDS. While
that is a slight rise from previous
years, experts say thats due to peo-
ple surviving longer. Last year,
there were 1.8 million AIDS-related
deaths, down from 1.9 million in
2009.
The outbreak continues to hit
hardest in southern Africa. But
while the number of new infections
there has fallen by more than 26
percent since the peak in 1997, the
virus is surging elsewhere.
In eastern Europe and central
Asia, there has been a 250 percent
jump in the number of people
infected with HIV in the past
decade, due largely to the spread
among injecting drug users. In
North America and western Europe,
the outbreak remains stubbornly
steady, according to the report.
Its looking promising, but the
numbers are still at a scary level,
said Sophie Harman, a global health
expert at City University in London.
She was not connected to the
UNAIDS report.
In its strategy for the next few
years, UNAIDS says it is working
toward zero new HIV infections,
zero discrimination and zero AIDS-
related deaths. Harman said that
was an admirable goal but wasnt
sure it was achievable. They need
to get real, she said. Maybe they
need to aim high but if their main
goal is eradication, its highly
unlikely that will ever happen.
Dr. Paul De Lay, deputy executive
director of UNAIDS, acknowledged
the idea of eliminating AIDS infec-
tions and deaths is more of a vision
for the future, and would likely not
be accomplished without new tools
like a vaccine, which could take
several decades. Earlier this month,
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton called for an AIDS-free
generation and promised more
money for programs in Africa.
De Lay said U.N. strategies will
focus on more aggressive preven-
tion and treatment policies, like
treating people with HIV earlier. In
Africa, people with HIV are not
usually treated until their immune
system reaches a certain threshold,
and ofcials are now increasingly
trying to start treatment before
patients get too sick.
Future strategies might also
include giving medicines to people
at high risk even before they get
infected. The World Health
Organization is considering how to
advise countries with major epi-
demics on giving drugs to healthy
people vulnerable to catching the
virus, such as prostitutes, gay men
and injecting drug users, as a pre-
vention method.
While studies have shown that
could dramatically slow AIDS
transmission, experts have voiced
concerns about healthy people tak-
ing AIDS drugs, which have toxic
side effects. It could also encourage
drug resistance, and there are
already millions of people in devel-
oping countries who qualify for
treatment but are still waiting for it.
Sharonann Lynch, an HIV policy
adviser at Doctors Without Borders,
said many African countries are
anxious to implement more aggres-
sive strategies and that some are
redrafting their guidelines even
before ofcial U.N. advice is avail-
able. But she said the nancial crisis
is affecting treatment and that
enrollment in some clinics, like in
Congo, have stalled or even been
suspended. That could allow the
epidemic to resurge.
Just at the moment when we
know how to manage HIV, were
hitting the brakes, Lynch said.
Without more investment, well be
squandering the best chance we
have of getting ahead of the new
wave of infections.

DATEBOOK 23
ing using one-time funds set aside to pay
off an old debt to Allied Waste, the com-
pany that formerly provided garbage
service to most cities on the Peninsula
through the South Bayside Waste
Management Authority until Recology
was awarded a contract in 2010.
Allied contends Belmont owes it $1.1
million that must be paid by September
2012. Belmont has about $600,000 set
aside to pay off that debt, although
Feierbach said at least a portion of the
$600,000 can be used to lessen the bur-
den on residential ratepayers.
Councilman Warren Lieberman, how-
ever, thinks that is a bad idea.
In fact, he said, it is the councils fault
Belmont residents are facing such an
increase and not Recologys.
There is an overwhelming misper-
ception that Recology will get a 22 per-
cent increase. That is not the case. They
will actually only be getting about a 1
percent increase in revenue, Lieberman
said.
The rest of the increase is needed to
pay Recology what Belmont owes it
based on a rate structure that Lieberman
calls too progressive.
The council approved a rate structure
that guaranteed Recology $5.9 million
for 2011 but because Belmont residents
migrated to smaller cans, the city only
raised about $5.1 million from its com-
mercial and residential ratepayers for the
year, Lieberman said.
About 14 percent of the proposed
increase is to cover about $730,000 in
losses that Recology suffered related to
customers migrating to smaller cans at a
greater rate than was expected.
Recology also estimates it needs to
add about $365,000 in cost related to
Belmont residents migrating to smaller
cans in the next two years.
That attributes about 7 percent of
Recologys requested 22.26 percent
increase for 2012 as it agreed to spread
those charges over a two-year period.
The rates are being rebalanced,
Lieberman said, to pay Recology what
we owe them.
Of the $5.9 million Belmont agreed to
pay Recology in the contract, $3.2 mil-
lion was expected to come from com-
mercial customers and $2.7 million from
residential customers based on the citys
rate structure.
But those numbers fell short, with
commercial customers paying only
about $2.9 million and residential cus-
tomers paying only about $2.2 million in
2011, Lieberman said.
Belmont does not have a large com-
mercial base and already subsidizes res-
idential customers, Lieberman said.
The culprit in all this for Belmont is
the small 20-gallon can that about 1,500
residences have migrated to in the past
year.
The rate for that can is about $15 a
month, far below what it actually costs
Recology to pick up the can, Lieberman
said.
The rates were set so low to encourage
Belmont residents to recycle more and
send less trash to landlls.
If every residence in Belmont migrat-
ed to the 20-gallon can, the rate for the
can would be about $35, Lieberman
said.
Lieberman thinks the commercial
rates and residential rates should be
rebalanced separately so that commer-
cial customers do not subsidize residen-
tial customers at an even greater rate.
Residential rates would go up even
more without the subsidy from commer-
cial customers. It is not fair for commer-
cial, Lieberman said.
It is important to note, he said, that
even if the city raised the rates 40 per-
cent, most of those customers with 20-
gallon cans would still be paying less
than they did a year or two ago.
The rate structure was set by the
council and it didnt raise enough
money. It was the councils decision to
set the rate structure and it is the coun-
cils responsibility to x it, Lieberman
said.
Asking residents to protest the rate
increase puts the blame in the wrong
place, he said.
The only way to x it is if we x it,
Lieberman said.
Most cities on the Peninsula have seen
garbage rate increases in recent weeks,
with the San Mateo City Council set to
vote on a 9.9 percent increase last night.
Recologys General Manager Mario
Puccinelli has sat in on Belmont City
Council meetings to answer questions
related to the garbage rate increase.
The cost for Recology to pick up a 96-
gallon can is the same as it cost to pick
up a 20-gallon can, he said.
Belmont residents have saved consid-
erably by migrating to smaller cans and,
even with the 22 percent increase, will
be paying less than they did previously,
he said.
But Recology does not set the rates,
Puccinelli said, it simply just provides
the service.
It is a citys job to set the rates, he said.
Cities can adopt at rates or elimi-
nate discounts, Puccinelli said.
The state mandates less waste be put
in landlls and those mandates are get-
ting even stricter. By 2020, 75 percent of
all solid waste must be recycled or com-
posted.
The cities have to incentivize recy-
cling, Puccinelli said. But we are not a
rate-setting agency. We provide the serv-
ice. It is up to the city to determine the
best way to raise the money to pay for
the service.
Feierbach is hesitant to take a second
look at Belmonts rate structure because
it would require another Proposition 218
notication.
She also thinks those who migrated to
the 20-gallon can should be awarded for
doing so.
I think the rates for those who
migrated to the 20-gallon can should
stay low, she said. I want to stick to
those progressive rates.
Tonight, the council has three options
to pursue to satisfy its contract with
Recology. One is to approve the 22.26
percent increase as originally proposed
by city staff. Another option is to
increase garbage rates by 15.28 percent
by using reserves or establishing a new
fee. The third option would raise the rate
by 15.28 percent and adjust residential
rates for the 20- and 32-gallon cans
where the most migration occurred.
The 15.28 percent options would also
require Belmont to work out a deal to
pay for migration catch-up by estab-
lishing a new one-time fee for all cus-
tomers or new separate fees for commer-
cial and residential customers.
Establishing new fees also requires the
city to send out another Proposition 218
notication so residents can formally
oppose the increase if they choose.
The council meets 7:30 p.m. tonight,
City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane, Belmont.

Mateo, however, meaning more than
13,000 protests needed to be received to
prevent the council from raising the rate.
Mayor Jack Matthews asked staff last
night what is the consequence of voting
no?
If the council did decide last night to
not raise the rate, the city would still owe
Recology nearly $2 million that would
have to be paid somehow, possibly out
of the citys general fund. San Mateo has
a current structural decit approaching
$7 million, Matthews said.
It is not a terric choice, Matthews
said about approving the rate increase.
About 4.9 percent of the 9.9 percent
increase is attributable to San Mateo res-
idents migrating to smaller carts. The
average monthly disposal cost for a 32-
gallon can will increase from $16.16
now to $17.76 next year.
San Mateo residents with a 20-gallon
can already have some of the lowest
rates of any city on the Peninsula at
$10.10 a month. Belmont residents, for
example, currently pay about $15 a
month for the same can.
Rates for 20-gallon cans will increase
next year by $1 a month. Next year, rates
for 96-gallon cans will increase from the
current $55.09 to $60.54 a month.
The citys cost to provide garbage
services is projected to be about $20.7
million, which is paid by residential and
commercial customers.
However, the city is only expected to
raise about $18.8 million from its cus-
tomers due to both residential and com-
mercial migration to smaller cans and
bins.
San Mateo has far more commercial
customers than Belmont does, for exam-
ple, using larger bins that cost more to
service. Those customers help subsidize
the lower cost for residential customers,
especially those who migrated to the 20-
gallon can. San Mateo has a progressive
rate structure that rewards its residents
who put less trash into landlls by giv-
ing them lower rates.
The city raised the rate in March by
about 22 percent to cover a debt to
Allied Waste Services from a former
contract.
Only three from the public urged the
council last night not to approve the
increase, including Desmond Carvallo.
Carvallo lives on a xed income and
said rates are being raised for all kinds of
services that are negatively impacting
the senior community.
Having the rates raised more than 30
percent in one year is too much of a bur-
den on those with fixed incomes,
Carvallo said.
I urge you all to vote no, he said.
INCREASE
leave it for the next generation to solve,
the panels two co-chairs, Sen. Patty
Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Jeb
Hensarling, R-Tex., said in a somber
statement.
They added it was not possible to pres-
ent any bipartisan agreement omit-
ting any reference to the goal of $1.2 tril-
lion in cuts over a decade that had been
viewed as a minimum for success.
President Barack Obama criticized
by Republicans for keeping the commit-
tee at arms length said refusal by the
GOP to raise taxes on the wealthy as part
of a deal that also cut social programs
was the main stumbling block.
They simply will not budge from that
negotiating position, he said.
Obama pledged to veto any attempt by
lawmakers to repeal a requirement for
$1 trillion in automatic spending cuts
that are to be triggered by the supercom-
mittees failure to reach a compromise,
unless Congress approves an alternative
approach.
Those cuts are designed to fall evenly
on the military and domestic govern-
ment programs beginning in 2013, and
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta as well
as lawmakers in both parties have
warned the impact on the Pentagon
could be devastating.
In my four decades involved with
public service, I have never been more
concerned about the ability of Congress
to forge common-sense solutions to the
nations pressing problems, Panetta, a
former House budget committee chair-
man, said in a statement. The half-tril-
lion dollars in additional cuts demanded
by sequester would lead to a hollow
force incapable of sustaining the mis-
sions it is assigned.
In reality, though, it is unclear if any
of those reductions will ever take effect,
since next years presidential and con-
gressional elections have the potential
to alter the political landscape before
then.
The brief written statement from
Murray and Hensarling was immediate-
ly followed by a hail of recriminations.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., said Republicans had never
found the courage to ignore the tea party
extremists and never came close to
meeting us half way.
ECONOMY
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2011
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Being clever enough to
take the frail ideas of others and ingeniously remold
them into hardy producers is one of your best talents,
which youll use quite well today.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Candor is essential
in all your one-on-one relationships, so dont try to
blow things out of proportion just to make them more
colorful. Your rhetoric could get taken seriously.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Put your organi-
zational abilities to constructive use by systemizing
situations that are somewhat confusing. No one can
present a more sensible plan than you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you can, you should
allocate some time to doing fun things with some
choice chums. You can take what would otherwise be
an ordinary day and turn it into something special.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your aims and wishes
would be more readily received if you frst set the
example you wish others to follow. Dont ask of them
what youre not willing to do yourself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You should be able to
excel in activities that require partners. Youre willing
to accept in others that which is lacking in yourself,
and as such work quite well with most anyone.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Focusing on work-re-
lated activities makes you a very productive person.
Opportunities to accomplish things that you were
unable to do previously will present themselves.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Positive thinking will
provide ample opportunities to advance in your favor-
ite feld of endeavor. The word cant wont be found
in your vocabulary.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Open your heart and
share your know-how when working with the less
fortunate. Your generosity will bring you more delight
than it may the recipients.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Conceptual changes you
make regarding your plans for the day should easily
work out to your satisfaction. More importantly, how-
ever, you should try to advance your dreams.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Youre capable of doing
most anything you want, but what would make you
the happiest would be applying your effort toward
doing something you consider to be truly worthwhile.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You possess an ability to
make the most out of whatever is given to you in life,
and are happy doing just that. No matter where you
are or whom youre with, youll use this asset well.

COMBINED NOTICE of Finding of No Significant Impact
and Intent to Request Release of Funds
November 10, 2011
City of San Mateo
Community Development Department
Neighborhood Improvement & Housing Division
330 WEST 20TH AVENUE, SAN MATEO, CA 94403
Attn: Heather Stewart, (650) 522-7228
hstewart@cityofsanmateo.org
These Notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural re-
quirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of San Mateo.
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS. On or about December 9,
2011 the City of San Mateo Community Development Department will
submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Develop-
ment (HUD) for the release of funds for the amount not to exceed $1.2
million from the HOME Program, formally known as Title II of the Na-
tional Affordable Housing Act 1990. The project is located at the site
of the old Police Station, at 2000 S. Delaware St., San Mateo, CA.
The funds are to be used to assist in paying for construction costs as-
sociated with development of 60 new affordable residential housing
units on the site. The total housing project will consist of 120 units in
5-story structures (the other 60 units will be developed as workforce
housing affordable to 120% Area Median Income(AMI)). Total project
cost for the 60 affordable units is estimated at $29 million.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. The City of San Mateo
made the decision to utilize HUD funding for this project after the San
Mateo County Housing Department had already obtained release of
funds approval from HUD. Therefore, the City of San Mateo has re-
viewed the Countys HUD approved NEPA Report and is adopting that
report as its own. Thusly, the City of San Mateo has determined that
the project will have no significant impact on the human environment.
Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National En-
vironmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 is not required. Additional proj-
ect information is contained in the Environmental Review Record
(ERR) on file at the City of San Mateo, 330 West 20th Avenue, San
Mateo, CA 94403 and may be examined or copied weekdays 9:00 AM
to 4:00 PM.
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT.
Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or
wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to
the City of San Mateo. All comments received by December 9, 2011
will be considered by the City of San Mateo prior to submission of a re-
quest for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice
they are addressing.
RELEASE OF FUNDS. The City of San Mateo certifies to the U.S. De-
partment of Housing and Urban Development that Sandra Council, in
her capacity as Certifying Officer, consents to accept the jurisdiction of
the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in
relation to the environmental review process and that these responsi-
bilities have been satisfied. The U.S. Department of Housing and Ur-
ban Developments acceptance of the certification satisfies its respon-
sibilities under NEPA and allows the City of San Mateo to use HOME
Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS. HUD will accept objections
to its release of funds and the City of San Mateo certification for a peri-
od of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its ac-
tual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if it is on one of the
following basis: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying
Officer of the City of San Mateo; (b) City of San Mateo has omitted a
step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regula-
tions at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has incurred costs not
authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by
HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part
1054 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactorily
from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be pre-
pared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24
CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to HUD Community Planning
and Development Division (CPD), at 600 Harrison Street, 3rd Floor,
San Francisco, CA. 94107. Potential objectors should contact HUD to
verify the actual last day of the objection period.

CAIRO Egypts civilian
Cabinet offered to resign Monday
after three days of violent clashes
between demonstrators and security
forces in Tahrir Square, but the
action failed to satisfy protesters
deeply frustrated with the new mili-
tary rulers.
The Health Ministry and a doctor
at an improvised eld hospital on
the square said at least 26 people
have been killed and 1,750 wound-
ed in the latest violence as activists
sought to ll the streets for a sec-
ond revolution to force out the gen-
erals who have failed to stabilize the
country, salvage the economy or
bring democracy.
Throughout the day, young pro-
testers demanding the military hand
over power to a civilian government
fought with black-clad police, hurl-
ing stones and rebombs and throw-
ing back the tear gas canisters being
fired by police into the square,
which was the epicenter of the
movement that ousted authoritarian
leader Hosni Mubarak.
By midnight tens of thousands of
protesters were in the huge down-
town square.
The clashes have deepened the
disarray among Egypts political
ranks, with the powerful Muslim
Brotherhood balking at joining in
the demonstrations, fearing that tur-
moil will disrupt elections next
week that the Islamists expect to
dominate.
The protests in Tahrir and else-
where across this nation of some 85
million people have forced the rul-
ing military council as well as the
Cabinet it backs into two conces-
sions, but neither were signicant
enough to send anyone home.
The council issued an anti-graft
law that bans anyone convicted of
corruption from running for ofce
or holding a government post, a
move that is likely to stop senior
members from the Mubarak regime
from running for public ofce.
Hours later, the Cabinet of Prime
Minister Essam Sharaf submitted its
resignation to the council, a move
that was widely expected given the
governments perceived inefciency
and its almost complete subordina-
tion to the generals.
Second revolution continues
Egypt Cabinet offers to resign but protests go on
By Adam Goldman
and Matt Apuzzo
WASHINGTON Hezbollah
has partially unraveled the CIAs
spy network in Lebanon, severely
damaging the intelligence agencys
ability to gather vital information
on the terrorist organization at a
tense time in the region, former
and current U.S. officials said.
Officials said several foreign
spies working for the CIA had been
captured by Hezbollah in recent
months. The blow to the CIAs
operations in Lebanon came after
top agency managers were alerted
last year to be especially careful
handling informants in the Middle
East country.
Hezbollahs longtime leader,
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, boasted in
June on television he had
unmasked at least two CIA spies
who had infiltrated the ranks of the
organization, which the U.S. con-
siders a terrorist group closely
allied with Iran.
Though the U.S. Embassy in
Lebanon officially denied the accu-
sation, American officials concede
that Nasrallah wasnt lying and the
damage spread like a virus as
Hezbollah methodically picked off
the CIAs informants.
To be sure, some deaths are to be
expected in these shadowy spy
wars. Its an extremely risky busi-
ness and people get killed.

Mother of bomb plot suspect
apologizes to New Yorkers
NEW YORK The mother of a
lone wolf accused of plotting to
attack police
stations and post
offices with
h o m e m a d e
bombs apolo-
gized to New
Yorkers on
Monday, even as
questions arose
about why fed-
eral authorities
who typically handle terrorism
cases declined to get involved in
what city ofcials called a serious
threat.
The mother of Jose Pimentel
spoke to reporters outside her upper
Manhattan home the day after her
son was arraigned in state court on
terrorism-related charges.
I didnt raise my son in that way,
Carmen Sosa said. I feel bad about
this situation.
U.S., Britain, Canada team
up on new Iran sanctions
WASHINGTON Thwarted
internationally, the Obama adminis-
tration cobbled together a new set of
best-available sanctions against Iran
on Monday that underlined its limit-
ed capacity to force Tehran to halt its
suspected nuclear weapons program.
The U.S. action was coordinated
with Britain and Canada, but not
with countries such as Russia and
China that have far greater economic
investments in the Islamic republic.
The American sanctions target
Irans oil and petrochemicals indus-
try and Iranian companies involved
in nuclear procurement or enrich-
ment activity.
