Judgment day nears for Millbrae police

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Updated numbers show Millbrae could save $500,000 to $1.5 million if it contracted with the Sheriffs Ofce for police services a decision which goes before the City Council Tuesday. San Bruno and Millbrae currently
share Neil Telford, who acts as police chief for both cities until Nov. 18 at which point he will return to San Bruno full time. On Tuesday, Millbrae ofcials could decide between contracting out for services or fully fund the city department. After holding two community forums, the options before the council has increased to include
adding a few additional employees. The citys current annual budget for the department is $4.258 million. When the budget is changed to include vehicles, safety equipment, overhead costs and other costs, the annual budget is raised to $7.27 million. Should the city want to maintain its own department, Telford suggested increasing stafng levels
by 2.5 full-time equivalent employees a cost of $410,000 annually that would raise the number of employees to 32 FTEs. The sheriffs proposal included 15.98 FTEs including Millbraes own police chief. The $4.09 million plan allows for Millbraes sworn personnel to be accepted into the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce
after a background check. The proposal calls for eliminating a police captain/commander/lieutenant position, cutting in half the number of sergeants and reducing the number of ofcers and deputies from 14 to eight, Telford wrote. It adds a records clerk but does not discuss a

A dozen San Mateo County school districts do not have the authority to sue the county and its former treasurer for a collective $20 million loss caused when the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy leeched at least five times that amount from the county investment pool, according to a San Francisco Superior Court judge. Judge Richard Kramer on Thursday afrmed an earlier tentative ruling that San Mateo County and former treasurer-tax collector Lee Bufngton are immune from civil suits. The ruling essentially dismisses the case but the districts
plan to appeal. Even so, Michael Celio, attorney for the county and Bufngton, said Kramers ruling is a victory. We are very pleased with this development and that this is over in one form, Celio said. This is one large step. County ofcials are deferring any comment on the ruling to Celio, said spokesman Marshall Wilson. Farley Neuman, attorney for the districts, said he respectfully disagrees with the ruling and is optimistic the districts will prevail on the appellate level. We dont think this is consistent with case law. I dont think it makes

A group of Foster City youth may have come to the world of chess differently, but together recently found success as national champions. Over two days in October, 370 chess players competed for the U.S. National Junior Congress Championships at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Among the stu-
dents ages 6 to 12 was a group of 21 students from the Foster City School Chess Club. In total, the group earned 12 trophies three team and nine individuals. In the ages 10 to 11 section, which had some of the fiercest competition, the group defeated strong opponents to win individual and team national champions.

No bail for woman accused of stabbing her husband

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Los Altos woman accused of Tasing and stabbing her estranged husband at their Redwood City construction rm ofce while wearing bubble wrap to protect herself was denied bail and remains in custody while awaiting a preliminary hearing. Laura Jean Wenke has been held without bail since her arrest in the Sept. 15 incident but her attorney Thursday unsuccessfully sought to have a bond amount set. Her attorney argued his clients lack of previous criminal background. Wenke now returns to court Dec. 7 to set a preliminary hearing date. Wenke, 50, has pleaded not guilty to premeditated attempted murder and felony assault charges. Wenke stood to gain a $2 million life insurance payout if her husband died and was very jealous of his new girlfriend, according to prosecutors. If convicted, she faces seven years to life in prison because of the premeditation allegation.
According to prosecutors, Wenke went to the family business, Wenke Construction, on the end block of Laurel Street and parked a truck in front of the ofce windows, blocking the view of passersby to the inside where she Laura Wenke asked her husband to look up something in his computer. As he worked, Wenke stunned and then stabbed him with a folding knife several times in the neck and torso, prosecutors said. After her arrest, police reported she was wearing a mechanics jumpsuit and underneath the clothing her torso was swaddled in bubble wrap, apparently as protection against being hit herself. Wenkes husband was hospitalized with injuries to his lung, neck and chest but later released. The couple are in the midst of a divorce and have an 8-year-old child.

Local brief
Countys obesity battle working
San Mateo County is one of only a few California counties where obesity rates have signicantly dropped over the last ve years, according to a just-released study, and ofcials are thanking the work of a community-wide initiative. Seven years ago we made a commitment to turn the tide on obesity and it looks like we are making progress, said Health Ofcer Dr. Scott Morrow in a prepared statement. A lot of the work the Health System and community are doing is about changing the physical environment to promote health. It is also about redesigning food systems to support health. This work will take a long time before we see it pay off, but this study suggests were on the right track. Since the launch of the Get Healthy San Mateo County initiative, the Health System has worked with community partners to increase the number of children walking and biking to school, improve streets and neighborhoods to make walking and biking the easy and safe option, remove junk foods from schools and corner stores and decrease sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. The percentage of overweight and obese children in the county dropped 5.6 percent between 2005 and 2010, according to the study A Patchwork of Progress: Changes in Overweight and Obesity Among California fth, seventh and ninth graders, 20052010. The report was prepared by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the California Center for Public Health Advocacy. San Mateo is the only Bay Area county to see a decrease over the past ve years but health ofcials say the work is far from done. One out of every three children in the county, or 34 percent, is still deemed obese or overweight. View the full study at www.publichealthadvocacy.org or www.healthpolicy.ucla.edu/patchwork.

Spending money to save money

San Mateo County eyes $1 million contract to find service savings
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
If it takes money to save money, San Mateo County is on course to try proving the old adage true. County supervisors on Tuesday will consider giving a consulting rm up to $1 million to make good on ways it previously identied to trim costs and make operations more efcient. If the rm Accenture follows through, the company will receive up to the rst $1 million dollars in savings it nds with any excess going into county coffers. Estimated savings the rst year are between $710,000 and $1.4 million and county ofcials say they will achieve at least $1 million in ongoing savings with a payback period of less than two years. Board President Carole Groom
said she admittedly isnt overwhelmed by the Accenture proposal but is ready to give it a try. It cant hurt, Groom said, Carole Groom adding it is another piece of the budget pie chart. The county hired Accenture earlier this year as part of its ongoing effort to nd savings and whittle away a then-$82 million structural decit. Using three years of spending data, Accenture returned a report concluding the county could save up to $8 million through smarter spending on everything from ofce supplies to vehicle eet contracts and by having depart-
ments better coordinate and consolidate their purchases. Following the report, deputy county managers Peggy Jensen and Reyna Farrales went to work on the possibility of saving anywhere from $4.21 million to $8.24 million by putting some of the ideas into practice. The county paid Accenture $100,000 for the initial assessment but the cost will be waived if the two contract a second time to implement the suggestions. The Board of Supervisors will discuss at its Tuesday meeting whether to sign off on the next step. If so, Accenture will develop a basic benefits tracking program to monitor countywide savings between Nov. 15 and March 31. The savings, up to $1 million, will be paid to Accenture over a threeyear period.
Groom said the Accenture report was really the project of outgoing County Manager David Boesch and Jensen. Although Boesch tendered his resignation last week and will leave the office, if not the position, on Tuesday, Groom said the board may feel somewhat obligated to continue the effort. Jensen said the savings are something that could have benefited the county at any point but the county likely homed in on the idea now because of the current budget situation. Accenture noted that of its $1.8 billion budget, the county spends approximately $228.5 million for goods and services across departments. Accentures savings were estimated from centralizing purchasing and reducing the costs of these goods and services. Other savings could come from bulk purchasing with cities although none have shown any specific interest. One move might be consolidating or eliminating many of the countys copiers. Accenture found that the existing 340 copiers are not being fully used. Another is figuring out how to combine
department needs to take advantage of purchasing power and volume discounts. One example is office supplies which could offer significant savings, Jensen said. Accenture also recommended the Controllers Office creates Accounts Payable Shared Services with electronic invoices and approvals and develop a way to provide statistics about purchasing, such as savings and departmental compliance, to give a bigger view of possible efficiencies. Other recommendations include establishing a contractor qualification process for capital projects and looking at contracts for commonly ordered items so premiums arent paid for emergency needs. The county could also consolidate volume with one supplier, make volume commitments to increase dealer discounts and share temporary stafng. The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15 in Board Chambers, 400 County Government Center, Redwood City.

Pressure on for Occupy shutdown PG&E faces new investigation of

With last nights homicide,in broad daylight,in the middle of rush hour,Frank Ogawa Plaza is no longer safe....Please leave peacefully, with your heads held high, so we can get police ofcers back to work ghting crime in Oakland neighborhoods.
OAKLAND Leaders across the country felt increasing pressure Friday to shut down Occupy encampments after two men died in shootings and another was found dead from a suspected combination of drugs and carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a propane heater inside a tent. Citing a strain on crime-ghting resources, police rst pleaded with and then ordered Occupy Oakland protesters to leave their encampment at the City Hall plaza where a man was shot and killed late Thursday. The Oakland Police Ofcers Association, which represents rank-and-le police, issued an open letter saying the camp is pulling ofcers away from crime-plagued neighborhoods. With last nights homicide, in broad daylight, in the middle of rush hour, Frank Ogawa Plaza is no longer safe, the letter said. Please leave peacefully, with your heads held high, so we can get police ofcers back to
San Bruno blast

Open letter from Oakland Police
work ghting crime in Oakland neighborhoods. Late in the afternoon, police ofcers acting at the direction of Mayor Jean Quan distributed iers to protesters warning that the camp violates the law and must be disbanded immediately. The notices warned campers they would face arrest if tents and other materials were not removed, although the warnings did not say by when. The city issued similar written warnings before ofcers raided the encampment before dawn on Oct. 25 with tear gas and bean bags projectiles before arresting 85 people. A day later, Quan allowed protesters to reclaim the disbanded site and the camp has grown sub-
stantially since then. City Council President Larry Reid said outside City Hall on Friday that the shooting was further proof the tents must come down. He was confronted by a protester who said he wouldnt be in ofce much longer. You didnt elect me, Reid snapped back. You probably aint even registered to vote! Reid said the encampment has been a major setback for the area while attracting sex offenders, mentally ill and homeless people, and anarchists. This is no longer about Occupy Wall Street, he said. This is about occupying Oakland and extracting whatever you can get out of Oakland by holding our city hostage.
SAN FRANCISCO The California Public Utilities Commission is poised to investigate whether Pacic Gas & Electric Co. broke state or federal pipeline regulations in the years leading up to the fatal San Bruno blast.

The Sept. 9, 2010 pipeline rupture killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes in the San Francisco suburb. Commissioners voted Thursday to authorize the legal procedure, which will examine PG&Es system for classifying the risk of pipelines in urban areas, as well as the companys standards for studying, patrolling and surveying their lines.

Reward more than A $12K in cat drowning

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The reward for information on the deliberate weighing down and drowning of a cat in a Redwood Shores lagoon now tops more than $12,000, according to the Peninsula Humane Society. We strongly believe someone knows something, said PHS spokesman Scott Delucchi. And $12,225 is a lot of money. We are grateful for the outpouring of support and expect that the rewards increase will generate new leads. PHS put up the initial $1,000 reward following the Nov. 2 discovery by a Redwood City Sewer District employee. The pool has grown through several additions by individuals and businesses, including $3,000 from luxury fashion brand Jill Milan and $1,000 from the owner of the Swinging Door Pub in San Mateo. The black and white neutered male cat was
approximately 12 years old. His front paws were declawed but he had no identifying collar or microchip. A ve-pound dumbbell had been attached to the cats neck with plastic zip ties and a necropsy showed the animal was alive when placed in the water. The exam also showed the cat was in good health for a senior, had no obvious injuries or anything else that suggested illnesses or quality of life conditions. The sewer district employee discovered the cat Nov. 2 and brought his body to PHS. PHS investigators are seeking both the person or parties responsible as well as the cats owner. Since rst announcing the investigation and reward, PHS has received multiple leads but no one has come forward as the owner, Delucchi said. Anyone with information can call the Peninsula Humane Society at 340-7022 ext. 384 or email reportcruelty@peninsulahumanesociety.org.

11-11-11 brings lucky babies and brides

By Matt Sedensky
In years to come, babies born Friday should have no trouble remembering the date and in some cases, the exact minute of their birth. The day marked the 11th day of the 11th month of 2011. From China to New York, people celebrated the convergence of 11s with a splash by placing bets, tying the knot or making a wish. Some babies were born right at 11:11 a.m., giving them 1s across the board for their time of birth. In Mount Holly, N.J., Jacob Anthony Saydeh made Veterans Day even more memorable for his parents, who are a veteran and current member of the Air Force. Newborn Alexander David Hockaday Ruiz took things a step further in Los Angeles when he was born at 11: 11 a.m. in room 1111 of a hospitals maternity ward. Providence Holy Cross Medical Center says the birth was natural and the room assignment was a coincidence. But in Colorado, Cayson Childers birthday wasnt left to chance. His parents ensured his arrival by scheduling a Caesarean section for Friday, and then doctors were able to make the operation work right at 11:11 a.m. In Las Vegas, the Clark County Marriage Bureau says roughly 1,700 licenses were issued by midday for 11-11-11 weddings, second only to the roughly 2,600 licenses issued for weddings on July 7, 2007. That date more than two years ago consisted of three lucky sevens. Fred Botero went to great lengths to ensure he could get married at precisely 11 a.m. on Friday. The Macon, Ga., man and his bride put down a deposit of $1,111.11 to reserve the slot nearly a year in advance. We knew it was a big day and a tough day to get. We didnt want to take a chance and booked the wedding early, the 53-year-old
purchasing manager said moments before their ceremony began at the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel. Across Malaysia, some 1,000 ethnic Chinese couples exchanged vows on a date viewed as auspicious and romantic. In China, a special 1111 train started at 11:11 a.m. on the No. 11 line in Shanghai. The numbers rhyme with one husband, one wife and one soul in Chinese and signies a marriage that would last a lifetime, said nurse Pua Kim Giok, 25, who tied the knot with engineer Lee Chin Siong, 27. They were among 460 couples who got married at the popular Thean Hou Temple in Kuala Lumpur. Not everyone was smiling, however. Egypts antiquities authority closed the largest of the Great Pyramid of Giza following rumors that groups would try to hold spiritual ceremonies on the site at 11:11. The authoritys head Mustafa Amin said in a statement Friday that the pyramid of Khufu, also known as Cheops, would be closed until Saturday morning for necessary maintenance. The rest of the complex, which includes two other large pyramids, numerous tombs and the Sphinx, and is one of Egypts biggest tourist attractions, remained open Friday, though security appeared to be heavier than usual. The Chinese have always had a fascination with number sequences. And in a country where ages of rst marriages are creeping upward, the 11/11/11 date represents six bare sticks, a term for bachelors in Chinese. And there are now more of them, with housing prices, focus on jobs and growing independence of young women meaning people are getting married later. Its just difcult for men to afford the housing prices nowadays, and traditionally in China that is the responsibility of the man his family. I feel a lot of pressure from this, said Zheng An, a 26-year-old employee at a solar company in Shanghai.

Baby born at 11:11 on 11-11-11 in room 1111

LOS ANGELES A healthy baby boy was born naturally at 11:11 a.m., on the 11th day of the 11th month of 2011 at a Southern California hospital. Providence Holy Cross Medical Center spokeswoman Pat Aidem says Alexander David Hockaday Ruiz was born weighing 9 pounds, 4 ounces in room 1111 in the hospi-
tals maternity ward. Aidem says the room assignment was simply serendipity. Sporting Los Angeles Dodgers gear to greet news cameras, the boy has a shock of black hair. Hes the fth child born to Angela Hockaday. Aidem says last year the Mission Hillsarea hospital also had a baby born at 10:10 a.m. on October 10.
White House circulated plan to replace Chu

By Matthew Daly and Dina Cappiello
WASHINGTON Top ofcials at the White House circulated a plan calling for the ouster of Energy Secretary Steven Chu and other top Energy Department ofcials as the administration braced for a political storm brewing over the failing solar energy company Solyndra. An email from a clean-energy activist and
Steven Chu
former ofcial in President Barack Obamas 2008 campaign said Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, was a brilliant man but not perfect for other critical DOE missions, including creating jobs. The Feb. 25 email from Dan Carol, a former issues adviser in Obamas campaign, was circulated
by then-Chief of Staff Peter Rouse and seen by more than a dozen senior White House officials, including senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and then-energy adviser Carol Browner. The emails were released late Friday by the government in response to a subpoena by House Republicans, who are investigating a $528 million federal loan received by Solyndra Inc. of Fremont. The rm later went bankrupt and laid off its 1,100 workers. A White House spokesman said Friday the
plan to oust Chu was not taken very seriously. Dan Leistikow, a spokesman for Chu, called Carol an activist with an agenda and said his email was not solicited by the White House. His suggestion about Chu was not taken seriously, Leistikow said. The emails released Friday, and others released by the administration in recent weeks, reafrm that decisions were made on the merits and that all of the baseless allegations about political considerations just arent borne out by the facts, Leistikow said.

WASHINGTON Rick Perry and Herman Cain have chosen far different weapons in their race to recover rst and best from the crises that have rocked their presidential campaigns. Humor is Perrys choice. For Cain, deance. The assignment for both men: Fit the
response to the predicament, with no margin for error. Perry rushed to the talk circuit in a bid to persuade Republican voters not to take his forgetful Wednesday night debate oops so seriously. I dont know what youre talking about I think things went well, the Texas governor joked the next evening on David Lettermans Late Show. I
wanted to help take the heat off my buddy Herman Cain. He certainly did, at least for a day, with the stunning 54-second brain freeze in which Perry tried and failed to recall a third Cabinet agency he would abolish. Cain, a week-and-a-half into denying at least four sexual harassment accusations, nally was able to talk about something else.

OPINION
exploit and victimize children under the auspices of a volunteer role, Friends for Youth developed, implemented and promotes best practices, tools and information to inform and educate any youthserving organization about the potential for child abuse. Demand for information is such that we published a resource SAFE (Screening Applicants For Effectiveness); Guidelines for Preventing Child Molestation in Mentoring and Youth-Serving Organizations, a comprehensive guide to volunteer screening. Unfortunately, child sexual abuse is an uncomfortable topic, especially in the male-dominated sports world. In our 32 years of serving at-risk youth, we have seen reports of this situation all too often: child sexual abusers offend multiple times and get away with it, even when someone knew about the abuse. Friends for Youth, Inc. is saddened by the initial abuse perpetrated on at least eight boys by Sandusky and even more disappointed by the second offense, the culture of silence surrounding and protecting him. Many times in situations with child sexual abusers, people may notice something off or something not right but will then discount what

The primary duty of youth service providers is to care for the well-being, healthy development and growth of children. It is vital that we are informed and educated on the inherent risks in the relationships we create. More information about SAFE and how Friends for Youth, Inc. can help build awareness of this tragic issue in communities and youth-serving groups can be found at www.friendsforyouth.org.
Petere Miner is the board chair and Becky Cooper is the executive director of Friends for Youth, Inc., a Redwood Citybased nonprot dedicated since 1979 to changing the lives of youth in need through the power of mentoring.
n response to the latest media reports regarding the child sexabuse scandal involving Penn States former assistant football coach, Jerry Sandusky, Friends for Youth, Inc. would like to express our sorrow about the young men victimized and our disappointment at another preventable tragedy. Sandusky, charged with molesting eight boys over 15 years, with some of the alleged abuse taking place at the Penn State football complex, is now under scrutiny for years of child sexual abuse about which others knew but either did nothing or were not heard. As a recognized leader in the eld of mentoring, we are unfortunately not surprised by these horric events. The very nature of our business demands that we match volunteers with children, much like the Second Mile program. Vulnerable youth are encouraged to establish trust and break down natural barriers of caution creating the perfect opportunity for sexual abuse such as exactly what occurred with Mr. Sandusky.

Occupy Redwood City honors Scott Olsen, Kayvan Sabeghi and all veterans
Editor, Last month, I attended Occupy Redwood Citys inaugural general assembly at Courthouse Square. Those of us present brought with us a diverse set of grievances, for when a system is as broken as ours there is no such thing as a single grievance or single demand. However, we agreed to stand in solidarity with Scott Olsen, the Iraq War veteran severely injured by police at Occupy Oakland. Last week, Oakland police injured another veteran at Occupy Oakland, Kayvan Sabeghi. As an American, this evidence of systematic police brutality on peaceful citizens appalls me. This Veterans Day weekend, the examples of Olsen and Sabeghi remind me of the embattled status of our nations veterans. Too many lack access to jobs, affordable health care and an affordable education. Recently, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans was 11.7 percent, higher than the national average of 9.1 percent. For female veterans, the number was 14.7 percent. A nation that creates veterans while spending billions on war and occupation yet does a shameful job of caring for them when they return is a nation that has forgotten its core values. A nation where veterans who were told by their government that they were ghting for American ideals come home safely only to be brutalized by their countrymen while exercising those ideals is a nation which needs to reevaluate the direction in which it is heading. I know Occupy Redwood City is part of the global movement in that new, better direction. Weve vowed to work on behalf of veterans, as well as all poor and working people in our community, for their plight is our plight. We are Scott Olsen, we are Kayvan Sabeghi, and they are each and every one of us. Veterans are the 99 percent, and we support them wholly. We are the 99 percent. the Daily Journal. The letter suggests that U.S. Rep. Jackie Speiers demonstration of the inherent difculties in living on $4.50 a day for food and groceries was a self-serving publicity stunt. In reality, Ms. Speier is correctly and justiably calling attention to the serious challenges many families have in trying to deal with the high cost of living, unemployment and increasingly difcult job prospects. On Nov. 9, Ms. Speier hosted a jobs fair at the South San Francisco Conference Center to help her constituents access the jobs available today and prepare for those in the future. In addition, Ms. Speier is one of the strongest advocates in Congress for increasing the medical, educational and housing benets that all our veterans (both past and present) have earned through their sacrice. Jackie Speier works hard for the people of San Francisco and San Mateo (the 12th Congressional District) and does not deserve to be dismissed as someone who is not concerned about the problems and needs of the people she serves, who clearly recognize and appreciate her honest efforts.

uring the American Revolutionary period, the founders and protesters were called Rabble by the British kings men and the American colony nancial elite. But, once there was a true populist movement going, nothing could stop it, neither propaganda, nor vast nancial expenditures nor British force of arms. Is the growing Occupy movement across the country a modern version of the underestimated rabble? How seriously should this be taken? It should be noted that contrary to what the conservative movement has been trying to sell, there is almost no campaigning against our economic system itself but how unfairly it has been administered and practiced since the days of Ronald Reagan, bubbling vast amounts of national wealth up to the very few individuals, businesses and corporations at the top. As readers may remember, after writing for 30 years about how the nancial cards were being increasingly stacked against them, I had given up on the shrinking middle class standing up for itself. That sleeping giant has now been aroused. How else can one explain the results of last Tuesdays election in many parts of the nation, especially in Ohio where the anti-union bill was overwhelmingly rejected and in Mississippi, in the middle of the Bible Belt, the lowest totem on the national totem pole in just about every respect, where voters aborted the most extreme law against any abortion right, including rape and incest. A description of such movements has been attributed to Mahatma Gandhi in India where it was conclusive in driving the British control out at mid-century: 1. First, we are ignored. 2. Then, we were ridiculed. (Tune into Fox News for 24/7 ridicule of their version of Hippie protesters). 3. Then, we are beaten by the police and army. (Witness the police violence and the recent shooting at Occupy Oakland.). 4. Then, some are killed and wounded. This arouses universal sympathy and support. 5. And, nally, we win. Whether such movements in todays America endure and prevail depends upon how angry the base in the middle class actually is. Polling shows that even one-third of millionaires express understanding and support for the protesters. Meanwhile, as I have written before, the candidates for the Republican nomination for the presidency march along from debate to debate, not recognizing and addressing the growing middle class dissent in the land they wish to rule, ignoring the Occupy movement and clueless that, with their ever more extreme programs that gain them love and kisses from their slivers of extreme right admirers, they are alienating more and more of the moderate middle class and independent voters and the Occupy movement will eventually rule. Is the Middle Class entirely blameless? This was best expressed in a recent op-ed in the New York Times by columnist Charles M Blow: We sold ourselves a pipe dream that everyone could get rich and no one would get hurt a pipe dream that exploded like a pipe bomb when the already-rich grabbed for all the gold; when they used their fortunes to inuence government and gain favors and protection; when everyone else was left to scrounge around their ankles in hopes that a few coins would fall. Yet, we have letters to the editors, such as one recently in this paper, equating the protesters with hippies and not noting how many are struggling college graduates, school teachers and other public servants suffering from results of the nancial meltdown induced by a still thriving nancial elite. Dont underestimate this batch of rabble. They may be speaking for you and your future and the future of this land for the 99 percent of the rest of us. *** I generally dont comment on nonpolitical news but I join the millions of others appalled by what has happened at Pennsylvania State University. Again, institutional protection trumps over the welfare of innocent human beings. This is a smaller-scale version of ignoring sexual abuses in the Catholic Church in the last half of the 20th century. No need for long discourse: A. A 220 pound/6-foot-4-inch star athlete, in his prime, observes the sodomizing of a 10-year-old boy by a full-grown naked man. He doesnt stop it. He does not report it to the police. B. He tells his father, who does not report it to the police. C. He tells it to his big daddy, a famed football coach, who does not report it to the police. D. Big Daddy tells it to his superiors in the administration and they do not report it to the police. That was in 2002 and the predator has nine more years of uninterrupted time to practice his perversion upon little boys. How much more perverse can the worship of champion college football teams get? No more need be said. No more need be written.

Stocks jump back up

By Matthew Craft
Wall Street
the Dow up 1.4 percent for the week. Together with a 112-point gain the day before, the Dow has now made up most of the 389-point plunge it took on Wednesday. That sell-off was triggered by the spike in Italys borrowing costs and a breakdown in talks to name a new prime minister in Greece. In Greece, too, there was good news for the markets Friday. Lucas Papademos, a former central banker, was sworn in as interim prime minister. Lucas Papademos took over a coalition government after a two-week political crisis that jeopardized the countrys ability to continue receiving emergency loans. Plenty of uncertainty still hangs over nancial markets. Brian Gendreau, senior investment strategist at Cetera Financial Group, noted that the VIX index is still above 30, a sign that traders expect stocks to stay volatile. Gendreau expects the S&P 500 to trade in a range of 1,200 to 1,275 until Europes debt crisis gets closer to resolution and the U.S. Congress signs off on a larger debt-cutting plan. A supercommittee in Congress has until Nov. 23 to agree on a decit-reduction package of at least $1.2 trillion over a decade.

NEW YORK Stocks surged Friday, erasing their losses for the week, after Italy and Greece moved closer to getting their nancial crises under control. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped back above 12,000. Italys benchmark stock index leapt 3.7 percent and its borrowing costs plunged after the countrys Senate passed a crucial austerity budget demanded by the European Union. Other European stock markets and the euro also pushed higher as investors became more condent that Italy would avoid a scal disaster. The passage clears the way for Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi to step down. Berlusconi was widely considered an obstacle to serious economic reforms. The yield on Italys benchmark two-year bond dropped 0.43 percentage point to 5.69 percent. Thats a sign bond investors think Italy will succeed in managing its massive debt load. On Wednesday the yield soared as high as 7.13 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 259.89 points, or 2.2 percent, to 12,153.68. It closed below 12,000 the previous two days.

D.R. Horton reports fiscal 4Q profit

By Alex Veiga
LOS ANGELES D.R. Horton ended scal 2011 in the black for the second time in as many years, as the homebuilder cut costs aggressively in the face of fewer home sales. The company also reported a return to protability in the fourth quarter, aided by a 17 percent increase in home closings and a 7 percent bump new home orders. The sales trends echo those of other major homebuilders, some of which have reported improved sales for the July to September quarter. This years numbers, however, are stacked up next to last year when tax credits aimed at spurring sales expired and sent demand down sharply.
Sales of new homes rose in September, according to the Commerce Departments most recent numbers, after four straight monthly declines, but only after builders cut their prices in the face of depressed demand. D.R. Horton was no exception. While new home sales remain at levels well below what economists consider a healthy market, D.R. Horton has been able to eke out a prot by cutting costs, selling homes built on land it acquired at sharp discounts versus just a few years ago, paying down debt and focusing more on the pricier, move-up buyer. President and CEO Don Tomnitz expects the company will be able to continue doing so next year, and forecast the builder will sell more homes in scal 2012 and turn in another full-year prot. Were selling at a pace in the rst two
months that will help us achieve those higher sales and closing targets for scal year 12, Tomnitz said, referring to October and November sales trends. The executive noted he doesnt anticipate the U.S. economy, job growth or consumer condence improving signicantly in 2012, however. Right now, were just planning on being more protable on a similar number of closings and sales, he said. Uncertainty over the U.S. economy, high unemployment and concerns that U.S. home prices have yet to hit bottom have kept many homebuyers on the sidelines this year. That led to a lackluster spring-and-summer peak homebuying season and has placed U.S. sales of new homes on track to be the worst on records dating to 1963.
Fed to conduct fourth round of bank stress tests

By Derek Kravitz
WASHINGTON The second-ranking member of the Federal Reserve said the central bank will conduct a fourth round of stress tests in the coming weeks to determine if U.S. banks can withstand a recession. Vice Chairman Janet Yellen said Friday that the tests are necessary
because of the increased downside risks that Europes debt crisis poses to the U.S. economy and nancial markets. She made the comments during a speech at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. We are monitoring European developments very closely, and we will continue to do all that we can to mitigate the consequence of any adverse developments abroad on the U.S. nancial system, she said. The Fed oversees Wall
Streets biggest banks, including Citigroup, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Wells Fargo. The Fed has performed periodic stress tests on the 19 banks it watches since 2009. The central banks has said the tests are a key part in its ongoing efforts to make sure that banks and the entire nancial system are stable. Banks that dont pass the stress tests are asked to take steps to raise new capital in case of big losses.

Aragon pounds Hillsdale

Paw, Bell on line

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Not even the presence of members of the 1991 Hillsdale football team which is the last team to beat rival Aragon on its way to an undefeated, Central Coast Section title was enough to boost the 2011 version of the Knights in their season-ending game against the Dons. Aragon scored on its rst nine possessions of the game, punted only once and took a knee in the closing moments to beat Hillsdale 59-38, in a game that was not even as close as the nal score indicated. Aragon (8-2 overall) led 59-22 before Hillsdale (3-7) tacked on two scores late in the fourth quarter a Damien Carter 50-yard touchdown run against the Dons second-string defense, and a Mike Camel 58-yard fumble return against Aragons second-string offense. Other than that, it was all Dons. Offensively, we did exactly what we wanted to do, said Aragon coach Steve Sell. I thought we could wear them out. Looking at them, looking at us, I just wanted to play to our strengths. Knowing his team was physically bigger and stronger, Sell implemented a no-huddle, power formation four runners in the backeld, including the quarterback for most of the game and the Knights simply could not stop it. Aragons Davarian Redd rushed for 168 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries, running
In San Mateo County, there are rivalry games and there is The Little Big Game. And you would think after 83 matchups between Burlingame and San Mateo that perhaps the game and event has lost a bit of its luster. But those closest to the game swear its as alive as ever. No, absolutely not, said Burlingame head coach John Philipopoulos when asked if the premiere rivalry game on the Peninsula ever gets old. I think this game is a lot of fun for everybody, the kids, the coaches, the school, the community. Its something that we look forward to every year. Seeing old faces, coaches, alumni come around, that never gets old. Its just a phenomenal event, said San Mateo head coach Jeff Scheller. I tell everyone, you have to come to at least one. Were fortunate enough to play in the game, but there are so many other great things about it that the game, in some cases, even a couple of years ago when we were playing for the league title, it still was secondary. There is plenty of hype on both campuses in the
week leading up to the football teams playing for The Paw. It starts with the Spirit Week, said Scheller, whose campus will be hosting the game in 2011. The kids do the halls, its a lot of fun during the week and thats one thing. Its a big day for everybody, Philipopoulos said. The game is kind of, the culmination of all that. Its a lot of fun and something that Im proud to be apart of. Burlingame leads the all-time series 47-32-4 with the Panthers winning eight of the last 10 meetings. San Mateos last win came in 2009. Both teams come into todays game with a bit of momentum and both will try to capitalize on the emotion of the event to accomplish very distinct agendas. For Burlingame, on their way to the Central Coast Section playoffs with their fourth place nish in the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division, its all about staying sharp. Were playing our best football of the year right now, Philipopoulos said. And we talked a lot all week about maintaining that consistency and trying to clean up some things we need to work on and bringing our A game to San Mateo because we

Serra head coach Patrick Walsh wasnt joking around at the beginning of the season when he said that every game on the West Catholic Athletic League schedule would hold the same amount of weight as the next. And the season nale presents the Padres with quite the load. Second place will be on the line today in San Mateo when the Padres welcome Valley Christian to culminate the WCAL season. Both teams are 4-2 in league with the winner shoring up second place all to themselves. A win for Serra would mark a return to the top side of the WCAL table after a fourth-place nish last year and a seventh place spot in 2009. I think were at 100 percent, Walsh said when asked where his team was mentally in this the seventh week of the WCAL gauntlet. I

49ers,Giants meeting has playoff implications

By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Playoff positioning is at stake. Tiebreakers and a possible rst-round bye, too. And, of course, NFC bragging rights. And its not even mid-November. The last time the San Francisco 49ers reached the playoffs, they rallied from 24 points down to stun the New York Giants in the NFC wildcard game. Now, the Niners are about to play one of their biggest games since and most meaningful at home as the Giants visit the Bay Area again. This Sunday, when the teams face off at Candlestick Park, Jim Harbaughs NFC West-leading 49ers could take another step closer to clinching their division and rst postseason berth since 2002. And, a win would go a long way toward securing
a rst-round bye. Its going to be a game, 49ers tight end Delanie Walker said. Its going to show where we belong. I think we are an elite team in the NFL. Both (teams) got chances to be big in this league. The matchup features two of the NFCs hottest clubs: 7-1 San Francisco vs. 6-2 New York, a pair of division leaders looking to lock up a playoff spot as soon as possible. San Franciscos players would like to show everybody still doubting them that this team is for real, and beating the Giants certainly would do that. The Niners could wrap up their division title before months end. That would be appealing. That would be big, safety Donte Whitner said. But we dont only want to secure a spot. We want to secure the best spot that we can possibly get. You do that by winning as many football
games as you can and hopefully put yourself in position to have a rstround bye and not to have to play that rst week, which would be huge. Home-eld advantage and things like that. We look at this game as one football game, but if we continue to win well be in a really good position, and we do understand that. The Giants are riding high after a 24-20 comeback win at New England in which Eli Manning threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Jake Ballard with 15 seconds left reminiscent of that Manning-led nal drive when the Giants won the Super Bowl in 2008. No letdown this week for New York with another tough game on the schedule, the Giants promise. I think were pretty focused, linebacker Michael Boley said. It boosts (our condence) up some. At the same time, as a team, were more critical of ourselves than anybody would think.
We took a lot of time to look at the things that we did wrong last week and tried to get them corrected going into this week. The Giants lead the NFC East by two games and have won six of seven. And Tom Coughlins crew has reached this point with great poise in the fourth quarter. The Giants are rarely out of games. San Francisco knows it cant afford a at second half, a problem at times this year. Its been a primary emphasis for us. Its been a goal, Coughlin said of strong late-game play. We wanted to nish stronger. We wanted to play better in the fourth quarter. We wanted to be a team that nishes what we started, and weve been talking about this since the rst day that the players arrived. So, it has been a matter of emphasis to us and on a number of occasions weve been able to do that. While the Giants have gone on to do
great things since that surprising 3938 loss here in January 2003, this absolutely is a statement game for San Francisco. The 49ers hold a ve-game division lead and have won six straight since a 27-24 overtime defeat to the Cowboys in Week 2. The Giants have won the last three meetings with San Francisco and have been back since that monumental playoff collapse, winning 24-6 on Nov. 6, 2005. Of the 49ers playoff win, among the greatest postseason comebacks, Coughlin said: That hasnt even crossed my mind. A lot of water under the bridge since that time. Coughlin was not coaching the Giants at that time. Theyre playing really great football, Manning said of the Niners. We understand weve got to play smart football as an offense. We cant afford to turn the ball over.
Raiders alone in first in weak AFC West

ALAMEDA Carson Palmer completing deep balls as if he was Daryle The Mad Bomber Lamonica. Michael Bush bowling over defenders on his way to a career night. Kamerion Wimbley and a physical defensive line overpowering a banged-up San Diego offensive line. Just days after some critics were writing off the Raiders after a second straight division loss, Oakland (5-4) stands alone in rst place in the AFC West following a 24-17 victory at San Diego. Its crazy, the NFL, offensive line-
man Stefen Wisniewski said. Shoot. Early in the year, everybody was talking about how good we are. And then (were horrible) after a couple of losses. And now were good again. Its a heavily criticized job, but thats the nature of the business. With Palmer hitting his stride just a few weeks after getting off his couch and joining the Raiders, Oakland is in prime position in a division that lacks an elite team. The Chargers (4-5) have lost four straight, Kansas City (4-4) lost last week to winless Miami and Denver (3-5) has struggled all season. Thats despite losing starting quarter-
back Jason Campbell to a broken collarbone last month, being without leading rusher Darren McFadden for most of the past three games, missCarson Palmer ing two starters in the secondary in safety Michael Huff and cornerback Chris Johnson and having to reshufe the offensive line in San Diego without center Samson Satele. Most teams, if you look at some of
the guys weve lost, would turn their back, and curl up and call it a year, coach Hue Jackson said. But not this football team. Thats not how were built. Were the Raiders. This was a prototypical Raiders game that late owner Al Davis would have loved. It had the powerful back dominating the running game with Bush getting 157 yards on 30 carries in place of McFadden. He added 85 yards receiving in the most prolic day for a Raiders player in terms of yards from scrimmage since 1963. When you have a guy thats his size and plays as hard as he does, he just
wears you down, Palmer said. He wears down the safeties. They dont want to get back in coverage. They dont want to turn and run quite as quickly as they can because theyre getting hit by a guy thats 40 pounds, 50 pounds heavier than they are. There was the big-armed quarterback going deep repeatedly to speedy receivers like Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford. Palmer threw for 299 yards on just 20 attempts, with his 14.95 average breaking LaMonicas team record for yards per attempt set in 1968 and being the fourth highest in the league since 2000.

A lot on the line when Stanford hosts Ducks

By Antonio Gonzalez
STANFORD Andrew Luck insists his dorm room doesnt have a calendar. He doesnt wear a watch, and his outdated cellphone doesnt even show the day of the week. Luck needs no reminder about Nov. 12. Since he announced in a one-sentence news release in January that he would return to school, Luck instantly put Stanford and Oregon on a collision course for that date. Everything for both sides has been building toward the moment. Finally, its here. Luck leads No. 3 Stanford against lightning-quick LaMichael James and sixth-ranked Oregon in the Pac12s showdown of the season Saturday night, shifting attention to the West Coast for a game that could decide the eventual league champion and keep the winner in the
national title mix. When youre thinking about the upcoming football season, youre thinking about Oregon, Luck said. If Andrew Luck you want to do something on the West Coast, youve got to beat Oregon. Theyve been the best team the last couple of years. Luck should know. Stanford is riding the nations longest winning streak at 17 games, with the last loss coming at Eugene more than a year ago. Oregon stied Stanfords offense in the second half in that contest, rallying from an early 18-point decit for a 52-31 victory that helped carry the Ducks to the BCS championship game, where they lost to Auburn. The implications this year loom large again.
Stanford can clinch the North Division crown and the opportunity to host the inaugural league championship game with a victory, while Oregon (8-1, 6-0) also would need to win one of its nal two league games. The Cardinal (9-0, 7-0) have a chance to remain undefeated and stay in the top of the chase for a national title behind top-ranked LSU and No. 2 Oklahoma State. They love the challenge, Oregon coach Chip Kelly said of his players. Andrew Luck is the best quarterback in the country, but I dont think they ever think theyre in over their heads against anybody. The attention is almost unprecedented on The Farm. The game is the rst matchup of Top-10 teams at Stanford Stadium and the rst in the Bay Area since No. 3 Washington beat No. 7 California in Berkeley in 1991. About 400 media credentials have been granted more than twice the usual, with the vast majority for
extra television and production crews and a red-wine sipping, tree-loving Cardinal crowd is expected to swarm the Silicon Valley campus. The attention on college football is at a fever pitch in the pro-saturated Bay Area market. Jim Plunkett, who in 1970 became Stanfords only Heisman Trophy winner, couldnt even hit golf balls on the San Francisco peninsula this week without buddies at his club asking about his Cardinals chances. Its on everybodys mind, its on everybodys lips, Plunkett said. Most people think this is the biggest game Stanford has played in a long time. Fans should get quite a show. The contrasting offenses promise points unlike top-ranked LSUs 9-6 victory over previously No. 2 Alabama last week. Stanford averages 48 points and Oregon 46 points per game.
While Luck anchors a prolific passing game, the Cardinal count on a powerful pro-style offense and a bull-dozing line to push opponents around. The Ducks spread-option, no-huddle headlined by James and quarterback Darron Thomas relies on speed and misdirection. Kind of amped up, but really just focused, Thomas said. Ill be amped up on Saturday. Keeping composure could be the biggest challenge for both teams. The winner in this matchup has scored at least 50 points the last two years with wild, wacky swings in scores normally reserved for video games. Both seemingly blowout contests ipped in a hurry. Two years ago at Stanford Stadium, the Cardinal jumped out to a 17-point rst-half lead and held on for a 51-42 victory. But they blew an early 21-3 cushion last season in Eugene and lost 52-31, the only blemish during an otherwise perfect two years.
Penn State puts assistant McQueary on leave

By Genaro C. Armas
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Penn State placed assistant coach Mike McQueary on administrative leave, capping a tumultuous week in which his name surfaced as a key witness in a grand jury investigation into child sexual abuse allegations against a former coach. School president Rod Erickson notied McQueary of the decision Friday, a day after the school said the receivers coach would not be present Saturday when the Nittany Lions play Nebraska because he has received threats. McQueary testified in a grand jury investigation that eventually led to child sex-abuse charges being filed against former Penn State
defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. The ensuing scandal brought down longtime coach Joe Paterno, who was red by university trustees amid growing criticism that he should have done more to stop the alleged abuse. McQueary, who testied that he saw Sandusky sodomizing a boy in the shower in 2002, has endured similar scrutiny. The universitys athletic department released a oneline statement Thursday night saying it would be in the best interest of all if the receivers coach didnt attend the seasons nal home game at Beaver Stadium. The school did not provide details on precisely who threatened McQueary. Asked if McQueary was placed on leave for his conduct or to ensure his safety, Erickson said it was a complicated situation.
W h a t became clear is that, under any circumstances, he would not be able to function in a coaching role, Erickson said in his rst Mike McQueary news conference as president. He replaced Graham Spanier who, like Paterno, was fired Wednesday night. Athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz have each been charged with perjury and failing to report an incident of abuse to authorities after McQueary relayed what he had seen. Curley has taken administrative leave, while Schultz who was already working on an interim capacity
has returned to retirement. Paterno has not been implicated, and prosecutors have said he is not a target of the investigation. Curley and Schultz, through their attorneys, have denied wrongdoing. The campus leaders faced mounting public criticism for failing to call police and prevent further suspected cases. So, too, has McQueary, who has not spoken publicly. His mother, Anne, said Thursday they have been advised not to comment. Described in court papers as distraught about witnessing the 2002 attack, unrelated local newspaper accounts from the time indicate McQueary appeared in the months and years that followed in charity events that Sandusky also took part in, or were to benet Sanduskys group The Second Mile.
Asked if McQueary would be red, Erickson said there are complexities to that issue that I am not prepared to go into at this point. In forums online, and in comments on other websites, some have indeed called for McQueary to be ousted, but the assistant coach could be protected as a whistleblower. Gerald J. Williams, a partner at a Philadelphia law firm, said Pennsylvania law is broad in protecting a person who reports wrongdoing, as long as that person is part of a governmental or quasi-governmental institution, such as Penn State. There are certain provisions out there for whistleblowers. (It) doesnt matter if its frustrating or not, Gov. Tom Corbett said Friday in State College, where he attended a Penn State trustees meeting.

know thats what were going to get in return. After starting 0-3 in the Bay, Burlingame pulled off back-to-back wins to propel themselves into the playoffs. We could kind of see it coming, Philipopoulos said, we could kind of see the evolution happening. It didnt show in terms of the scoreboard, points and things of that sort because we lost a couple of games in a row, but we could just sense that something good was happening. Good turned out to be wins against Jefferson and The Kings Academy. A win against San Mateo would be a nice cherry on top. But the Bearcats come in on a positive wave after getting their rst league win in two years. Emotion and pride will denitely be a factor Saturday morning. I think for us, getting that taste, we feel good, Scheller said, we feel good every week about who were competing against. We just have to be as consistent as we can be. We know that nothing is going to be handed to us, Philipopoulos said of San Mateo. We know its not going to be easy. San Mateo is a very dangerous football team with playmakers on both sides of the ball. Kickoff for The Little Big Game is scheduled for 11 a.m. Further north, another great rivalry will unfurl itself between two teams heading to the CCS playoffs. The Bell Game, between South City and El Camino, will kick off at 2 p.m. South City comes in having earned enough power points to reach CCS, while the Colts all but stamped their ticket last week following a big win over Carlmont. Were excited, said South City head coach Frank Moro. Its a city event, everyone is going to be out there. Theres a lot of work leading up to it. The eld is all set and ready to go and it looks all nice. Its just a good football game. Were excited to be a part of it. South City has dominated the Bell Game the last 10 years, winning nine of those games with El Caminos last win coming in 2003, 36-18. Were not going to take them lightly, Moro said of the Lake Tri-Champs. Its a rivalry game, there is a lot of emotion and sometimes people play beyond their abilities. We know were a good football team, weve played good football teams and were ready. Were really condent in ourselves.

back James Egan rushed for two scores and threw for another, quarterback Dominic Proia had a 65-yard scoring run and Victor Jimenez played the bull, churning his way to 75 yards and a score on 12 carries. All told, Aragon nished with 477 yards of total offense, with 411 coming on the ground. Theyre just gigantic. They outnumbered us and outweighed us significantly, said Hillsdale coach Mike Parodi. We knew they had that (power) package and we worked on it all week. I even told the coaches when they ran out of it on their rst two plays, This is what were going to see for the next three hours. Believe it or not, there were actually turning points in the game, which, if they had gone differently, could have made a difference in the game. After Aragon took the opening kickoff 60 yards on nine plays and scored on an Egan four-yard run, Hillsdale came out for its rst possession and, on the third play, Aragons Jordan Mapa intercepted a pass. Less than a minute later, the Dons cashed in that turnover, going 10 yards and scoring on Redds rst touchdown of the day. With less than ve minutes elapsed in the game, Aragon held a 14-0 lead. The Dons increased their advantage to 21-0 as they needed only one play to go 65 yards. Proia took the snap, rolled to his left and saw nothing but green in front of him. Needing only one block downeld, he got and took it into the end zone. Hes looking to throw, Sell said of the play. But I think he made a good decision. Hillsdale nally got its offense in gear on its next possession, driving 80 yards on 13 plays. The key play of the drive was a 24-yard, passand-catch from Knights quarterback Yannis Tsagarakis to tight end Josefa Vuatalevu for 24 yards, and a 13-yard gain on fourth-and-12 down on a catch by Robbie Foiles that gave the Knights a rst down at the Aragon 4-yard line. Angel Salazar scored on the next play to get Hillsdale on the scoreboard. The teams exchanged scores on their next drives Aragons Egan scored on a 22-yard run, but Hillsdale responded with a nine-yard scoring strike from Tsagarakis to Vuatelevu. Tsagarakis nished the game throwing for 194 yards, with Vuatalevu catching six balls for 123 yards. The Knights score cut the Aragon lead to 27-14 with a minute to play in

the half, and there was a thought they could still make a game of it. Unfortunately for Hillsdale, a minute was enough for Aragon. Starting from their own 35, the Dons drove to the Hillsdale 11 with just under 10 seconds to play. Coming out of a timeout, Egan took a handoff on a sweep but pulled up and lofted a pass to the back of the end zone which tight end Greg Lyons snatched out of the air. And just like that, Aragon held a 33-14 lead at halftime. That was a gigantic score, Sell said. Said Parodi: To me, the total points they have is not as big (a deal) as the differential. We get one (touchdown) to get within 13 and then they get another (to go up 19). The Knights received the second-half kickoff and looked poised to score before a fumble gave the ball back to the Dons. They turned that into a Redd 43-yard scoring run and the game was all but over. Proia hooked up with Patrick Pauni for a 38-yard score and Jimenez later added a 2-yard plunge to put the Dons up 59-22 with 11:39 to play. If they were able to stop our power stuff, then we would have had to rethink things, Sell said. But I truly thought if we stayed in it, we would eventually wear them down. Even though Hillsdale suffered its 21st straight loss to Aragon, Parodi was satised with his teams performance. All things considered, I love the way the kids played today, Parodi said. Aragon is an extremely good team. Theyre a lot bigger than us. I love the way they competed and they never quit.

U.S. loses 1-0 to France, 1-4-1 under Klinsmann
SAINT-DENIS, France The United States dropped to 1-4-1 under coach Jurgen Klinsmann, losing to France 1-0 in an exhibition game Friday night as Loic Remy outmuscled defender Clarence Goodson to score in the 72nd minute. Remy, who entered in the 65th, chased down
a long ball and held off Goodson, who fell, before beating goalkeeper Tim Howard from about 12 yards for his fourth international goal. Obviously it was difcult after their goal, Klinsmann said. In these types of games, you make one or two individual mistakes, you get punished. At 5-8-3 with only Tuesdays game at Slovenia remaining, The Americans, who dropped to 0-3 against France after their rst game against Les Bleus in 32 years, are assured of nishing with a losing record in a calendar year for the rst time since 1997.

during the offseason wasnt going to be right for them, said Jeff Gordon, eighth in the Chase, 81 points behind leader Carl Edwards. Jeff Gordon Im sure its something that many of us would disagree with, especially with how much it is going to change things for the championship, but I think its their choice and their decision. We dont know all the input that went into making that decision, so we live with it. PIR was built nearly 50 years ago and has been a regular stop for NASCAR since Alan Kulwicki won the inaugural race there in 1988. The track is quirky, with vastly different turns at both ends, and had become bumpy and cracked since its last repave 20 years ago. Despite its aws and eccentricities, PIR had become a place the veteran drivers felt comfortable, particularly since it started hosting two races a year in 2005. The problem was that the track had become too worn down. PIR ofcials use an aggressive approach to track maintenance between races and on race weekends, but the track was brittle and breaking apart after 20 years of racing. It just got to the point where we were just patching patches, PIR president Bryan Sperber said. The last weekend we had in February, we had the track break apart in four or ve different places and had to go in at night to x it. To have a track come apart on a race weekend, thats the last thing you need. The concern, at least for the teams, was the timing of the changes. Its one thing to have a new track surface at the start of the season, but doing it near the end of the Chase puts added pressure on teams that they didnt necessarily want with so much on the line. Normally at a track such as Phoenix, teams have a deep data base of what kind of setups have worked and the drivers know which racing lines will work. With the repaving and the alterations to the banking and dogleg, theyre nearly starting anew. PIR held a tire test in August and a two-day test for teams in October, but thats still not a lot of time for a sport that relies on so many calculations by teams and the feel from the drivers. They did a really nice job with the work theyve done here, so its just a matter of us trying to gure out what we have to be good for the weekend now, said Tony Stewart, three points behind Edwards in the Chase. After this weekend, when we come back in the spring, well have a lot better idea,

NASCAR drivers to take on new-look Phoenix Raceway

By John Marshall
AVONDALE, Ariz. Phoenix International Raceway had become like a comfortable old chair for NASCAR drivers over the past 20 years: cracked and creaky, yet familiar and tting. This weekend, itll feel more like something fresh out of the box. Repaved and recongured, the mile oval at PIR will look and feel vastly different for NASCARs second race at the track this season than it did just nine months earlier. And with this being the penultimate race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, its going to add a whole lot of extra intrigue, not to mention some guesswork by the teams and drivers. With two races spread out the way that they have it, I guess they felt that
but it denitely does put a little more emphasis on trying to get it gured out and get caught up. Many of the drivers would have liked the changes to have come in the offseason, but there really wasnt much choice because of the timing between races. Track ofcials started tearing up the track immediately after the Feb. 27 race and spent the next six months working to push the dogleg out 95 feet, increase the banking and set the new asphalt. The Chase race wasnt until November, but the track had to be nearly complete for a test in August so Goodyear would have time to get tires ready. Workers needed almost every minute of those six months to get the work done, so trying to redo the track between Sundays race and the next one in March wouldnt have worked. Weather also worked against PIR trying to do it during the offseason.

Pacquiao,Marquez ready for Part III in Vegas

By Tim Dahlberg
LAS VEGAS Manny Pacquiao acts as though its personal, then claims its not. Just another night in the ring, another notch on his belt and another $25 million or so to take back to the Philippines with him. Its not that easy for Juan Manuel Marquez. He remains convinced he won both of his previous two ghts with Pacquiao, and he will enter the ring Saturday night as eager for redemption as he is to claim the biggest payday of his long boxing career. I hope the judges score what they see, not like the other two ghts when they were not impartial, Marquez says. The judges may not be necessary this time around. Marquez has bulked up for the 144-pound ght so he can bring more power into the ring and Pacquiao who knocked Marquez down four times in their two ghts is a far more potent puncher than the last time they met three years ago. Add in the fact these two ghters throw punches almost nonstop, and theres potential for an early ending. Im not thinking about the knock-
out, Pacquiao said. If the knockout comes, thats just the bonus for your sacrices in training. Pacquiao returns to the ring for the rst time Manny since he beat Pacquiao Shane Mosley in May, ghting a familiar foe in a bout that will earn him yet another big payday. He and Marquez have already gone 24 rounds with each other, rounds so close that ringside judges had trouble guring out which ghter won. But the rst ght seven years ago was at 125 pounds. The second four years later was at 130 pounds. This one will be for a piece of the welterweight title, though it will be at a catch weight of 144 pounds. Its a weight Pacquiao has proven comfortable with over the last few years, but Marquez had no success the only time he got past 140 pounds in a lopsided loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. Thats the big reason Pacquiao is a 71 favorite in a pay-per-view ght that doesnt gure to lack for action.
At 144 pounds its going to be different, Pacquiao said. Ive improved my boxing and my power. Everything is going to be different. Pacquiao weighed in at 143 pounds Friday, while Marquez was 142 the same weight he fought at against Mayweather. Pacquiao who last lost in 2005 at 130 pounds risks a 14-ght winning streak against Marquez, a Mexican who has held titles in three different weight classes. Once again he will carry the weight of the Philippines into the ring, and once again he will be ghting someone other than Mayweather. Thats hardly Pacquiaos fault, though, since Mayweather doesnt seem serious about ghting him. So he has to make do with other contenders, and Marquez has better credentials than any of Pacquiaos opponents since he made a name for himself by sending Oscar De La Hoya into retirement in 2008. In their rst two ghts, Marquez used his superb counterpunching skills to keep Pacquiao off balance. Though he went down three times in the rst round of the rst ght Marquez was more than competitive in two ghts
that could have gone either way. That the rst ght was scored a draw and the second a split decision for Pacquiao still gnaws at Marquez, who J.M. Marquez wore a T-shirt proclaiming he was robbed in both ghts when the two boxers were in the Philippines promoting the bout. That touched a nerve in Pacquiao, though he said this week that there is nothing personal between them. He went to the Philippines wearing a T-shirt saying I beat Manny Pacquiao twice, Pacquiao said. Im not angry. Thats his freedom to do that. Still, trainer Freddie Roach said there was an added urgency to Pacquiaos training camp for this ght. The jokes and clowning around from previous camps were gone, with Pacquiao training in quiet determination. Roach says Pacquiao wants to settle the issue once and for all. I think it was a slap in the face to Manny, Roach said. They were both
good, close ghts, but there were no robberies there. Pacquiao said he has learned since his last ght with Marquez how to ght a counterpuncher. Hes also improved greatly with his right hand, which at lighter weights he never seemed to be able to land with much power. And he says hes taken the lessons learned in his rst two ghts with Marquez to heart. The last two ghts helped me a lot, Pacquiao said. I learned a lot, especially ghting a counterpuncher, a boxer. Im more experienced now and Im a much better ghter, too. Marquez turned to a new strength and conditioning coach to add weight and power for his move up from 135 pounds, though that hasnt been without controversy. The coach, Angel Heredia, was a government informant during the BALCO investigation. He and Marquez both say he has taken nothing but legal supplements to prepare for the ght. Still, some in boxing are shocked at the new physique of Marquez, while others are shocked that he tried to gain so much weight rather than using his speed and counterpunching ability to ght Pacquiao this time around.

Patrick Walsh, Serra football coach on his teams playoff position
THE DAILY JOURNAL

WCAL end for Erich Wilson. And No. 21 will try to go out in style following his record-breaking performance against Sacred Heart Cathedral last week. In the game against the Irish, Wilson became Serras all-time leader in touchdowns. Hes at 40 and counting. I think the reason why is because hes going about his business the way all great football players do, Walsh said of Wilsons success. Hes doing everything hes doing for other people. His emphasis is on Serra, his emphasis is on his brothers, his emphasis is being a good teammate. And the ironic thing about that sort of focus is generally, the individual whos focused on that mindset will gain more as an individual and thats whats happening to Erich this year. Hes had a historic season as a Serra High school football player. Kickoff for Serras Senior Day game is scheduled for 1 p.m. Calpreps.com has the Padres favored by 11 points.
SERRA
think theyre in a good spot as a team. They have great objectives, they want to perform well on Senior Day. Weve kind of failed on that the last couple of years. I think this group of seniors wants to rectify that kind of problem weve had the last couple of years. So I think theyre in a good spot. I think theyre ready to play. The story boiling beneath the surface heading into todays game is Serras position going into the Central Coast Sections version of Selection Sunday. In years past, Serra has unequivocally opted to play in the Open Division of CCS. This year, the decision isnt as cutand-dry, according to Walsh. Weve opted up (to the Open Division) with a fth place-seasons in the WCAL, fourth-place teams,
third-place teams, second-place teams, 5-5 teams; weve run the gamut, he said. Its kind of been my philosophy to always opt up, but with the advent of the state bowl games, thats come under question for me. And the majority of my decision will be based on our entire breadth of our 10-game season, which culminates (against Valley Christian). So to answer your question directly, I havent made up my mind yet. And our performance in (todays) game will have a lot to do with that. The Padres will have to be at their best against the boys from San Jose. Valley Christian comes into the contest as one of three teams in the WCAL to be averaging more than 30 points per game on offense. The
other two? Bellarmine and Serra. Same as always, Walsh said, when asked how preparation have gone in the week leading up to todays game. (Were) preparing for their Wing-T offense (and) just trying to be sound defensively. If were unsound against these backs, its six points every time. Were just going to have to play our best defensive game of the year if we want to compete with these guys; as far as playing keep away and try to keep their potent offense off the eld with a strong rushing attack at Serra, maybe we can accomplish those things. Walsh speaks of Jarrod Lawson and Byron Marshall, the Warriors vaunted 1-2 punch. Lawson is Valleys leading rusher with 1168
yards on 127 carries and an average of 129.8 per contest. Marshall is no slouch by any stretch. His 671 yards is second on the team and No. 10 is averaging nearly seven yards a touch. Man, theyre big and fast, powerful runners, Walsh said. Jarrod Lawson and Byron Marshal run real hard, its a tough deal. The quarterback (Jay MacIntyre) has really matured over the last few weeks. Hes a sophomore and Ive seen him grow up the last couple of weeks. He had a huge game last week against Mitty, so that adds another element, another issue for our defensive plan. Like I said, its going to take an 11-man focus to slow this team down. Senior Day at Serra will mark the

Symphony of destruction
By Lou Kesten
Activisions Call of Duty releases are to video games what Michael Bay movies like Transformers are to cinema. Theyre loud and ashy, they deliver state-of-the-art digital effects, and they dont have a coherent thought in their heads. If playing the late s t
CoD campaign doesnt give you a headache, trying to make sense of its convoluted, preposterous story will. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (Activision, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, $59.99; Wii, $49.99) begins with New York City under attack from Russia. How did we get here? In the previous chapter, an American undercover agent got himself framed in a terrorist attack at the Moscow airport, and now the Russians are retaliating. Both sides, however, are merely pawns being manipulated by Vladimir Makarov, whos bent on destroying the West and returning Mother Russia to its former glory. So begins a symphony of destruction that lays waste to cities and landmarks all over the world. Wall Street gets leveled.
The Eiffel Tower is toppled. In one particularly manipulative moment, a little girl and her mother gawk at Big Ben before London gets its clock cleaned. One problem with the Modern Warfare series is that you cannot do anything to stop this. You control a cross section of elite warriors with seemingly innite resources at their disposal, yet a surprising percentage of MW3 missions end in failure. Makarov got away again? Oops. What do you control? Guns. Pistols, shotguns, sniper ries, assault weapons, rocket launchers if it has a trigger, its here. Occasionally you get to call in an airstrike or set off explosives, but for the most part its aim and shoot, aim and shoot until youve killed everyone. The gameplay falls into the familiar pattern for military shooters: You enter an area lled with enemies, eliminate them, then reload and move on to the next zone. There are occasional breaks like an underwater

Jack and Jill is proudly lowbrow

By Jake Coyle
In Judd Apatows Funny People, Adam Sandler played a middle-age comedian whose career was built on a series of popular but absurdly low-brow movies. The movies are trotted out in faux trailers: Redux, in which he plays a 6-month-old baby; My Best Friend Is a Robot, with Owen Wilson as the robot; and, most memorably, Mer-man, where Sandler plays a masculine mermaid. If you slid Jack and Jill into that lineup, no one would even blink. The lm, in which Sandler plays both sides of male-female identical twins, feels like a joke trailer stretched into a feature lm. That isnt necessarily contrary to the aims of Jack and Jill, a gleefully stupid movie much more in line with Sandlers earlier comedies than his later, more adventurous movies. Its directed by Sandlers longtime lmmaking partner Dennis Dugan, who directed one of those early Sandler movies (Happy Gilmore) as well as more recent failures such as last years Grown Ups and the much more interesting and funny You Dont Mess With the Zohan. In Jack and Jill, Sandler plays Jack Sadelstein, a TV commercial producer, married to Erin (Katie Holmes) with two children (Rohan Chand, Elodie Tougne). Thanksgiving

brings an unwelcome visit from his twin sister Jill (Sandler). Sandler plays Jill as he might have for a Saturday Night Live sketch, and Jill is less a real character than a walking punch line. She has a thick Bronx accent, a masculine physique and is completely out of touch. Sandler plays her more like an older Jewish mother than a 43-year-old. Jack is aggressively mean to his sister, whose visit, much to his chagrin, keeps being extended. Jill proves useful, though, because

some of the pressures on students to conform to social norms of any kind. However, at a school like Crystal Springs Uplands School where theres already a decent attitude of general acceptance, Ally Week may have brought on a new type of pressure: pressure to be openly supportive of this cause. In the world of politics, choosing to abstain from taking a stance on an issue is usually a result of a desire not to seem too radical, but this choice can be perceived as a stance against the matter. Similarly, while it shouldnt be the case, a desire to avoid a close-minded or bigoted reputation may be a reason for some peoples choice to wear a color incongruous with their true viewpoints. I am one of these students who wear the now infamous wristband, but when I look down on it, I cant help but wonder if I fully support every cause I associate with. Offending those around us by speaking out against an issue that hits home with them is one thing, but supporting it half-heartedly is an almost bigger offense.

ed events were considered allies and were given a purple wristband so they could be recognized as such. Ive seen these purple wristbands around school for the past two weeks and, while their presence has denitely raised awareness about LGBT rights and concerns around my school, theyve also frustrated me to no end. A great number of the students who don the little rubber, purple bands around their wrist are exactly what theyre supposed to represent: understanding, loyal people who are willing to stand up for those discriminated against. But every so often, one can walk through the cafeteria and hear the phrase thats so gay escape from the mouth of one who sports the proud purple. Even people with purple-clad wrists can be found snickering at samesex couples. Our whole school was present for a speech largely centered on consciousness in regards to who we offend when we incorporate rude remarks into our everyday vocabulary.

Our whole school listened as our peers told their own stories about how theyd been unintentionally isolated by someones reaction to their type of family. So one might think that at least those who choose to call themselves allies would be careful to set an example of the execution of these ideas. Im left wondering why this isnt the case. Along with LGBT youth around my school who hear the phrase thats so gay, or similar phrases, I am offended. However, it is neither the language itself nor its most likely innocent intentions that offend me, but the pure wrongness of signing up to represent a stance and then failing to follow it so easily. More than offended though, Im fearful and curious. Im sure that I, nor any of my peers, am not exponentially more aware of my biases. So I have to wonder how much we all get away with. While its true that were all guilty of own biases, what we arent guilty of is choosing to support causes we may in fact have biases against.

Inspired by Dr. Seuss beloved story, the stage production Dr. Seuss How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical features the hit songs Youre a Mean One, Mr. Grinch and Welcome Christmas. Max the Dog narrates, telling how the mean and scheming Grinch decides to total commitment to character applies even in a movie such as this, where hes lovesick for a Sandler in drag. Comedy has always been part of Pacinos range. Still, when Pacino finally cuts the hip-hop-style commercial and afterward tells Jack, Burn this, Im inclined to agree. For fans of Sandlers sillier movies, Jack and Jill (which Sandler cowrote with Steve Koren, from a story by Ben Zook) will likely provide something satisfyingly adolescent and cartoonish. There are all the kinds of things youd expect: fart jokes, poor filmmaking (a scene at a Lakers game, obviously shot on a green screen, is unusually shoddy); and cameos from the usual crowd (David Spade, Tim dozens of their employees jumped ship last year, and Sledgehammer was recruited to help the restaffed studio complete the MW trilogy.) As always, MW3 offers an exhaustive suite of online, multiplayer modes. Theres nothing radically new this year, but familiar modes like death match and capture-the-flag have been tweaked enough that online CoD fans will definitely want to update.

But the unapologetically idiotic Jack and Jill comes off like the last 15 years of comedy didnt happen. Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Paul Rudd and many others have made comedy smarter and wittier, while being just as irreverent. Comedy moved on from the mid1990s, and its time Sandler did, too. Jack and Jill even gives fart jokes a bad name. Jack and Jill, a Columbia Pictures release, is rated PG for crude material including suggestive references and comic violence.

Sales-wise, however, Call of Duty is still doing blockbuster numbers, and Activision has already announced a new CoD installment for 2012.

Tis the season for European trip

By Shirley OBryan Smith
Its a scene played out all over Europe as the holidays approach: The air is cold, the sky is bright and snow crunches underfoot as crowds make their way through rows of little wooden structures that look like storybook houses with sloping roofs and rustic trim, each one offering some treasure thats beautiful, fun or delicious. Chatter, laughter and music waft through the air, mixing with the smells of gingerbread, grilled meats and cookies as shoppers browse among the carved toys, small musical instruments, ornaments, handcrafted clothing, homemade soap, candles and hand-blown glass. Millions of people both locals and visitors attend annual Christmas markets in cities all over Europe each year. Theyre not only tourist attractions, but theyre also big business for local economies. But will the European nancial crisis be the Grinch that steals the holiday spirit from the continents Christmas markets? Slovak economist Vladimir Vano, in Bratislava, says probably not. The Volksbank Slovakia chief nancial analyst says if anything, it may enhance the experience because the main draw of these markets isnt just the buying and selling of wares. He says theyre really an old version of our modern online social networks a place to connect. In times of trouble, he adds, people want that connection to be more personal. They want to hold hands or talk face-to-face as they enjoy activities with their family and friends. If you add in the nostalgic spirit of the holidays, you have what he calls behavior economics, and that could keep the Christmas markets strong this year. But thats not the only factor. Vano says some potential vendors may decide its more important than ever to invest the several thousand dollars it takes to rent a sellers stall. According to Jozsef Molnar, managing director of the Budapest Tourism ofce in Hungary, vendors pay about $3,500 to set up for six weeks at his citys main market and they usually take home something in the neighborhood of

$14,000. Spaces are limited, but some municipalities across Europe are opening up a few more this year, hoping that more vendors offering a greater variety of merchandise may in turn attract even larger crowds. Of the nearly 600,000 visitors who attend the Budapest Christmas market at Vorosmarty Square each year, 30 to 40 percent are foreigners, according to Molnar. That means revenue for hotels, restaurants and other segments of the travel industry in addition to income for the vendors and the markets. Vorosmarty is a lovely location that offers a giant Christmas tree, nativity scenes and a unique Advent calendar that opens up in the windows of the historic Gerbeaud confectionary. The merchandise is quite good. Sellers are judged by experts representing craftsmen and folk artists, and only those of high skill are allowed to set up shop. But quality doesnt come cheap. You could pay hundreds of dollars for a nativity set, $40 to $60 for a womans hand-styled woven hat or less for small trinkets. Food is also top notch. One favorite is the chimney cake, a delicacy once made by wrapping dough around actual chimney pipes. Now the dough is wrapped around something that looks like a large, slightly V-shaped rolling pin. Its sprinkled with sugar or slathered in butter or honey, cooked on hot coals, then twisted off the pin, wrapped in paper and devoured by appreciative customers. Another outstanding market is Viennas huge Christkindlmarkt, which usually ranks as one of Europes best. Its wellorganized, beautiful, set in Rathausplatz, the plaza in front of the Rathaus (city hall) and the quality of goods is rst-rate. Youll nd excellent hand-blown glass, cute carved toys and musical instruments, ceramics, and lovely clothing items. Space is set aside inside the Rathaus for special childrens activities like cookiemaking and crafts, including handmade Christmas ornaments. Outside, sellers offer warm handmade clothing, toys and Christmas decorations. Shoppers sip hot punch made from fruit, rum, wine and spices as they browse.

Cavill strikes with Immortals,Man of Steel

By Derrik J. Lang
LOS ANGELES Looking past Henry Cavills innitely blue eyes and goofy grin, its not difcult to imagine the 28-year-old British actor transforming into an extremely intense dude as he describes the roughest day he experienced on the Immortals set grasping the complex choreography for the lms epic nal battle. I was literally learning it minutes before doing it, said Cavill during a recent interview to promote the mythological 3-D action ick. That was fun and a great challenge, but Im a bit of a perfectionist, and I get pissed off at myself if I dont get it exactly right. Not getting it exactly right is a feeling that Cavill, who has achieved Hollywood infamy in recent years as a runner-up for such highprole parts as James Bond and Superman, was beginning to know too well. Thats changing nally! with his starring turns as buff Grecian hero Theseus in Immortals and the indestructible Superman in Man of Steel, which hes currently shooting in Vancouver. As an actor, when you get rejected and rejected, you start to wonder if youve got the goods, said Cavill. People are telling me that Im a good actor. Theyre saying Im good in the room during the audition, but Im not getting the (expletive) jobs. Either someone is lying or this industry is really messed up. I think its a combination of the two. In person, the stubbly, dark-haired actor, the fourth of ve brothers, is equal parts gentle-
man, guys guy and geek, cautiously lowering his voice when peppering his charming English timbre with saucy language and nervously chattering his gleaming white teeth before formulating responses to perplexing questions. Tarsem Singh, the director of such visually arresting lms as The Cell and The Fall, selected Cavill to serve as his Immortals leading man long before Singhs version of the mythological demi-god was dened. Singh said he was sold on Cavill when he gave the actor a simple scene to read, and Cavill effortlessly interpreted it ve different ways. He was just so malleable and tactile, said Singh. When I came to the studio, I told them that the script needs a lot of work, and its going to change, but this is the guy. He can act. He can be physical. He can do everything we need him to do. We should stick by him.
In this version of the Greek tale, Theseus is a peasant who goes in search of a powerful weapon to stop King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) from awakening the Titans. Along his journey, hes aided by oracle Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and thief Stavros (Stephen Dorff), and he encounters such gods as Zeus (Luke Evans), Poseidon (Kellan Lutz) and Athena (Isabel Lucas). Immortals, opening nationwide Friday, will no doubt be closely monitored by industry watchers and Superman devotees alike in anticipation of Man of Steel, which is scheduled for release in 2013. Until he was cast as the n e w Superman, Cavill was best known for playing the randy Duke of Suffolk on the Showtime period drama The Tudors for four seasons. Eight years ago, Cavill was thisclose to donning
Supermans red cape when director McG was working on a lm about the DC Comics superhero. That project was scrapped, and director Bryan Singer later presented his take on the Kryptonian orphan with newcomer Brandon Routh in the title role. Cavill hasnt been deterred by his long route to Metropolis though. Its actually been proven that just because I didnt get Superman then doesnt mean that I cant get Superman now, said Cavill without sounding the least bit arrogant. You cant let it get you down. Youve got to look at the positives. I got to meet with Warner Bros. and everyone there. Its benecial, really. Cavill didnt read comic books growing up on the British Channel Island of Jersey, but hes quick to note that hes still a geek but not a comic book geek, only because comics werent allowed at his boarding school. Cavill proclaims to be an avid PC gamer, and when pressed, it turns out hes not exaggerating. He truly is an online role-playing game fan. The great thing about that is youre playing against real people, said Cavill, who copped to maintaining four accounts on Eve Online, a sprawling online sci- game. Theres a constant evolution. Youre always adapting. Cavill is similarly undaunted by his role as the Last Son of Krypton. In preparation for Man of Steel, he dug deep into the Superman mythos and has even been monitoring the incessant Internet chatter about the lm since his casting was first announced in January.

Mexicos top Cabinet More than 250 civilians killed in the past 11 days secretary dies in crash
Syria takes bloody new turn

By Elizabeth A. Kennedy and Zeina Karam
By E. Eduardi Castillo
BEIRUT Syrians snatched from their homes turn up dead, often mutilated. Soldiers gun down former comrades who defected to the opposition. A human rights group reports that electric shocks and hot iron rods are used to torture detainees. November is shaping up to be the bloodiest month yet in Syrias 8month-old uprising. More than 250 Syrian civilians have been killed in the past 11 days as the regime besieges the renegade city of Homs and the conict takes a dangerous turn, stoking fears of civil war. The U.N. estimates some 3,500 people have been killed in the crackdown since mid-March, when the uprising began. The latest gures would push that number closer to 4,000. The bloodshed has spiked dramatically in recent weeks amid signs that more protesters are taking up arms to protect themselves, changing the face of what has been a largely peaceful movement. Many fear the change plays directly into the hands of the regime by giving the

military a pretext to crack down with increasing force. There also have been reports of intense battles between soldiers and army defectors, setting the stage for even more bloodshed. Although the crackdown has led to broad international isolation, President Bashar Assad appears to have a rm grip on power. The most serious violence has been in Homs, the epicenter of the uprising, which the regime has been ghting to contain all month. We have seen urban warfare in some areas where army defections occurred, said Hozan Ibrahim, a spokesman for the Local Coordination Committees, an activist coalition.
MEXICO CITY The countrys top Cabinet secretary, Francisco Blake Mora, a key figure in Mexicos battle with drug cartels, died Friday in a helicopter crash that President Felipe Calderon said was probably an accident. Blake Mora, 45, was the second interior minister, the No. 2 post in the government, to die in an air crash during Calderons administration. Despite some tendencies to suspect a hit on the top ofcials leading Calderons offensive against organized crime, the crash that killed Blake Mora and seven others may have had to do with bad weather. A Learjet that slammed into a Mexico City street in 2008, killing former interior secretary Juan Camilo Mourino and 15 others, was blamed on pilot error. One of Blake Moras last postings on his Twitter account commemorated the loss of Mourino. Today we remember Juan Camilo Mourino three years after his death, a person who was working to build a better Mexico, he tweeted on Nov. 4.
Blake Moras death, while a blow to the government, is not likely to change policy or day-today operations. Calderon, visibly emotional over the loss, Blake Mora said the Super Puma helicopter was ying in fog when it went down in a remote area southeast of Mexico City. Still, he said all possible causes were under investigation. He said the pilot had sufcient expertise. Mexico has lost a great patriot ... and I lost a dear friend, said Calderon, who struggled to maintain composure at one point during an address to the country. He was not only an exemplary minister, he was an exemplary Mexican. President Barack Obama called Calderon to offer his condolences. Calderon appeared to try to quell any suggestions of sabotage, saying Blake Moras helicopter was always under guard in the hangar of Mexicos equivalent of the Secret Service and that it had recently undergone maintenance.

LEHMAN
any sense, Neuman said. And on top of this they were getting paid to collect and manage this money they lost. Celio said an appeal was always expected and the dismissal saves time and money because a trial is not rst needed on the merits. Instead, the case heads straight to the higher court for a decision on the standing. If Neuman prevails, the case will return to San Francisco Superior Court for trial. It is denitely an advantage, Celio said. Were pleased that our legal theories were right and were happy to move on. In January, the districts and the superintendent of county schools sued the county and Bufngton for $20 million plus interest. The suit argued the county and Bufngton should have pulled investment pool funds prior to the Sept. 15, 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers. The pool lost approximately $155 million from its collection of cities, agencies and districts. The county has 24 public school districts of which 12 are named in the claim along with the San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools: the San Mateo Union High School District, Menlo Park City Elementary School District, Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School District, Cabrillo Unied School District, Burlingame Elementary School District, Ravenswood City Elementary School District, San Bruno Park Elementary School District, San Carlos Elementary School District, Las Lomitas Elementary School District, Portola Valley Elementary School District and Woodside Elementary School District. The San Mateo County Community College District also lost an estimated $25 million itself but did not join the suit. In June, Kramer ruled that state law protected the county from being sued for negligence and breach of duciary duty. Kramer also said the suit wasnt brought in a timely manner and wasnt specic enough about how the county allegedly breached its contract. In an amended complaint, Neuman claimed any ling delay was because Chief Deputy County Counsel Brenda Carlson worried public notice of a suit would destroy the countys chances of a federal bailout. In his Thursday
ruling, Kramer agreed with Neumans argument and rejected the countys request for a dismissal based on the timing. The battle now is whether Bufngton and the county should be held responsible for the investment pool loss. In the original lawsuit, Neuman said the county and Bufngton engaged in a highstakes gamble by remaining invested even as Lehman lost value. Doing so, plus not diversifying the pools holdings, violated the countys own policies and state law, according to the suit. The pool is a collection of 1,050 different accounts from cities, school districts and special agencies, some of which are obligated to invest. Following the bankruptcy, the county rewrote its investment pool policy, a new treasurer-tax collector was elected and lawsuits were lodged by the county against the rm and its executives and accountants. While the county was seeking to recoup the losses, it was also spending money on its defense against the schools suit. Between Oct. 5, 2010 and June 30, 2011, the county has paid $615,492.70 for specialized litigation to the San Francisco-based law rm Keker and Van Nest, according to information provided by Wilson, the county spokesman. Updated numbers were not immediately available. Neither Neuman nor Celio had a timeline for when the case could be heard in the appellate court but Celio said he was certain it would not be before the end of the year.

Excited by the win, the young students are also pretty modest about the achievement. The Foster City club had eight players in the 10 to 11 age group. Among them was Rayan Taghizadeh, who had a perfect score. Nine-year-old Taghizadeh was rst introduced to the game at 4 or 5 years old when he tripped on a piece while his dad was playing. He was then curious about the game, which his dad began to teach him. At rst, I thought it was boring, he said. Today, he describes it as a brain activity, one thats often most challenging when playing a lower ranked player, he said. Despite this, Taghizadeh took home the individual National Championship trophy, which he noted as being quite large but not as big as he is. Winning rst place as a team was a challenge. Siddharth Banik and Chris Xiong both scored 4.5 points, creating a tie for seventh place. Baniks only loss was to national champion winner and teammate Taghizadeh. Charles Lin scored 3.5 points, and Jason Zhao scored 3 points. Brenden Cheung scored 2 points in his rst rated tournament, and was awarded a beginning rate of 664. Matthew Angel scored 1.5 points in his rst rated tournament, beat one opponent with a high rate of 1011, and was awarded a rate of 804. Jamie Ip was sick and but still managed to play two rounds. It was Lin who played the nal match which gave the team the win. Ten-year-old Lin began playing at 6 or 7 and joined the club in 2007. Although the club meets up every two weeks to practice, Lin does exercises at home for a little over an hour each night. You use your brain a lot, Lin said of the
game. He was excited the team did so well he was also surprised to be the one playing in the last game when the team needed a score to take the top spot. Lins father Ray was excited to share that his son played in the match that nailed down the team win. Taghizadeh noted the team couldnt see the match as it went on, but were happy when Lin emerged victorious. A number of students took home awards. In the ages 6 to 7 division, there were ve rounds with a time control game of 30 minutes. Franklin He scored 3.5 out of 5 games, was tied at 12th place and won a trophy. Drawing a player with a much higher ranking, his performance resulted in a jump in his rank. Albert Zheng scored 3 points, tied for 18th and went home with a trophy. As a result, Zhengs ranting increased more than 230 points. Felix Liu scored 2 points in this section. George Jiang, in his rst rated tournament, was able to score 1.5 points. As a team, the players earned 10 points putting them in sixth place only a half point behind the fth place winner. In the 8 to 9 section, students played six rounds over two days with a time control game in 75 minutes. Alanna Song and Andrew Cheng both scored 4 points out of six games, were tied at 14th place and won trophies. Derrick Gan and Alexander He both scored 3 points. Sylvia Chin, Theodore Jedi Pei and Makhesh Srikannan all gained important experience. As a team, tallying the points of the top four players, the students earned 14 points and took home fth place. In the 12 to 13 division, Daniel Song scored 3.5 points and tied for 10th place. Jaysen Shi scored 3 points and tied for 20th place.

his proposal to give companies tax credits for hiring jobless veterans. Our economy needs their talents and specialized skills, he said. Earlier, with the aid of an honor guard, Obama placed the wreath on a pedestal in front of the marble tomb, then stood with a hand over his heart as a bugler played Taps. A bell tolled and ags uttered. First lady Michelle Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and other dignitaries watched from the side. Obamas aircraft carrier visit is to the USS Carl Vinson, docked in San Diego. The rstever Carrier Classic basketball game pits Michigan State against No. 1 North Carolina on board the ship. The ship is the same one from which Osama bin-Ladens remains were buried at sea following the raid in Pakistan that killed al-Qaidas top leader. In an essay in Fridays San Diego UnionTribune, Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill wrote that because of the incredible courage of the 9-11 generation, the tide of war is receding and America is more secure than a decade ago. But as our service members return, many are discovering a new battleeld as they leave the military and search for civilian employment opportunities, they wrote. Their article also made a pitch for the veterans assistance the Senate approved on a 95-0 vote. The bill, expected to clear the House next week, also includes more counseling and job training for unemployed veterans and service members about to leave the military. Were taking steps to make the job search easier for veterans, the Bidens wrote. On Thursday, Mrs. Obama announced that private companies have made new commitments to hire 100,000 veterans and military spouses by 2014 as part of her Joining Forces initiative. Director Mary Watt. This year, there is a continuing trend of individuals who are newly unemployed and older residents feeling the squeeze of increased prices needing help, she said. Watt is also seeing more requests for help from people whose unemployment benets have run out. CALL Primrose is most in need of food donations. When it comes to food, the basics are the best: canned food, macaroni and cheese and produce is always appreciated. Fresh produce is needed year-round, and Watt said it doesnt have to come from the grocery store. Pick the last few lemons from the backyard tree. Also in need are individuals and businesses willing to adopt-a-box for Thanksgiving. Doing so is simple, send an email to contact@callprimrose.org and directions and deadlines will be sent. Essentially, the box requirements are to ll it with traditional holiday fare. CALL Primrose will provide a chicken or a turkey to be included. Although it may seem early to think about Christmas, CALL Primrose is also starting to collect new, unwrapped gifts for children of all ages. Gift cards to places like Target are also appreciated since teens can be difcult to shop for. Donations can be dropped off at 139 Primrose Road in Burlingame. For more information call 342-2255 or visit www.callprimrose.org. Second Harvest Food Bank of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties served 207,000 clients monthly in 2007, which has increased more recently to 250,000. Thats about one in every 10 people, according to the organizaexplained in the report. The Sheriffs Ofce, which is much larger, has enough employees to backll those without additional employees, he wrote. For the sake of comparison, the city asked the Sheriffs Ofce to revise the proposal to include a full-time supervisor for all shifts and add an additional deputy for Friday and Saturday nights. The increase in employees raises the proposal cost to $5.055 million. Under the original proposal, Millbrae could save nearly $1.5 million or $500,000 using the revised plan. Regardless of what the city does, about $1.68 million in annual costs for the department including service contracts like redlight camera, animal patrol and retirement

Obama observes Veterans Day with Arlington rites

By Mark S. Smith
ARLINGTON, Va. Heralding the end of one war and the drawdown of another, President Barack Obama observed Veterans Day on Friday by urging Americans to hire the thousands of servicemen and women coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan. In remarks at Arlington National Cemetery, he called it a time when America needs all hands on deck. The tide of war is receding, Obama said. My fellow Americans, our troops are coming home. He spoke on a chilly autumn morning to an audience of veterans and dignitaries in the cemeterys amphitheater shortly after placing a oral wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Following the ceremony, Obama left the White House for a ight to San Diego to join in a holiday basketball game aboard an aircraft carrier -- the start of a nine-day trip that includes an Asia-Pacic summit in Hawaii and stops in Australia and Indonesia. Obama used his Arlington speech to mark the coming transition from a nation ghting multiple wars in the aftermath of Sept. 11 to one where reviving a struggling economy is the overriding focus. Last month, Obama announced plans to withdraw the last U.S. troops from Iraq. Between that and Obamas commencement of a drawdown in Afghanistan, he said, for many military families, this holiday season will be a season of homecomings. And he urged Americans to greet the returning vets with jobs and offers of help. Let us welcome them home as what they are: an integral, essential part of our American family, Obama said. Obama spoke a day after the Senate passed

CORONADO President Barack Obama is jetting away from Washingtons political and budget battles just as crucial decisions and deadlines approach, focusing instead on Asia-Pacic nations and trying to persuade voters at home the distant region is essential to American jobs and security. Obama departed Friday for summits in Hawaii and Indonesia and a visit to Australia in between. For nine days, the president will be as tions website. As a result, this years goal for support has increased slightly with the hope of raising $11.3 million in donations and 1.6 million pounds of food. Donations can be left at the San Mateo County Distribution Center, 1051 Bing St. in San Carlos. For more information visit http://shfb.org or call 610-0800. There is also a need to help people stay warm this winter. The San Bruno Coats for Kids will begin handing out jackets late next week. Its too late to donate warm outerwear for the effort but the handout often benets from volunteers to help with shopping. Coats will be distributed from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 at the National Guard Armory, 455 Third Ave. in San Bruno. Dont worry if you have a new or gently used coat to donate, there are options. The Hillsdale Shopping Center is accepting coats from Nov. 25 through Dec. 16 to participate in the One Warm Coat Drive. Outerwear in all shapes and sizes can be dropped off at the Customer Service Center located across from the Cheesecake Factory during normal business hours. Jackets will be distributed, free of charge, to those in need. Serramonte Center in Daly City is also accepting coats starting Nov. 18. Do you have a business in Redwood City? Consider housing a barrel to collect donations. The Holiday Book and Toy Drive, sponsored by the Redwood City Police Activities League and the Police and Fireghters associations, provided more than 12,000 toys and options will remain, according to Telfords report. Police ofcers are split between the options, said Robert Raw, Millbrae Police Ofcers Association president. However, police ofcers agree on one thing a decision should be made before a new council takes over, Raw said. A decision must be made soon, as the Sheriffs Ofce indicated it can only keep spots open to possibly accommodate Millbrae employees until the end of December. Money will certainly be a consideration in the discussion. Just before discussing police options, the Millbrae City Council will get information about a ve-year nancial forecast which shows a seven-year cumulative
many as 10,000 miles from home at a time when jobs, the frail economy and other domestic concerns matter most to the U.S. electorate. But Asia and the Pacic region are crucial to Americas future, the White House insists. Obama was born in Hawaii, spent boyhood years in Indonesia and points to himself as Americas first Pacific president, so his worldview is shaped deeply by Asia. His administration is showering attention on the region as a driver of global politics, a prized buyer of American products and a central player in protecting world peace. books to more than 500 families last year. Deliveries are done with the help of Santa Claus who arrives in either a police car or re engine to hand out the presents. This year, the group needs businesses who are willing to place a donation barrel on sight as well as corporate sponsors who can purchase toys and books. There is a shortage of barrels, however, so please contact the coordinators only if the barrel can be lled. Those interested should contact PAL Director Tom Cronin at 556-1650 ext. 11 or TomCronin@redwoodcitypal.com; police officer Dan Smith at 780-7601 or dsmith@redwoodcity.org; or reghter Justin Velasquez at 780-7400 or jvelasquez@redwoodcity.org. If you would like to work on a more global effort, consider working with Operation Christmas Child an effort that has delivered 86 million gifts worldwide since 1993. Sponsored by Samaritans Purse, National Collection Week starts Nov. 14. Volunteers can drop off shoe boxes lled with school supplies, toys, hygiene products and notes of encouragement to three local churches: The Crossing Community Church, 15 Alameda de las Pulgas, Belmont; New Life Community Church, 1430 Palm Drive in Burlingame; and Millbrae Bible Church, 20 Magnolia Ave. in Millbrae.

Mateo. Wallace and Valencia worked together to move the boxes of birds into the on-sight freezer for safe keeping until needed. It may seem early to start stocking up food for the holidays but, as demand for help has grown around San Mateo County, nonprots have started the collection efforts earlier. Samaritan House Kitchen Manager Ruby Kaho expects to feed between 400 and 500 people at this years event. The kitchen will roast 130 turkeys to meet the estimated 10 percent increase in demand over last year, plus leftovers. We like to have plenty of leftovers on Thanksgiving Day, said Kaho. After people nish eating their dinners, they like to take some food home so they can have something to eat the next day. The Samaritan House Kitchen produced more than 137,000 meals during the last scal year nearly 11,500 per month. During the rst quarter of this scal year, which ended Sept. 30, the Kitchen produced nearly 38,000 meals more than 12,600 per month. Food donations are always welcome and volunteer sign-ups for the holidays are online at www.samaritanhouse.com. Burlingame-based CALL Primrose also continues to see an increase in demand.

Over three years, the end of the tax will mean a loss of $4.32 million, Brown wrote. The forecast does not include the citys unfunded retiree benets nor the funding required to meet the citys 15 percent reserve policy, Brown wrote.
