Bleak assessment for state


California facing $13 billion deficit,cuts to education and services

SACRAMENTO California faces $2 billion in automatic spending cuts at the rst of the year that will reduce funding for public schools, higher education and a range of state services, according to a nonpartisan scal analysis released Wednesday. The bleak assessment by the states

Jerry Brown

Legislative Analysts Ofce warns of declining tax revenue and a rocky statewide economic outlook that will lead to budget shortfalls for years to come. Democratic lawmakers and Gov. Jerry Brown had hoped for a $4 billion

increase in tax revenue through the current scal year when they passed the state budget last summer. The analysis released Wednesday said revenue from the three main sources income, sales and corporate taxes actually will run $3 billion lower than state expenses through the remainder of the scal year and is expected to be $10 billion less than the state needs in the scal year that will start July 1.

Unfortunately, there are few easy options left for balancing Californias budget, the legislative analyst wrote. Difcult program reductions already have been passed, and signicant one-time budget actions may be more elusive than in prior years. Californias general fund, its main checkbook for paying most state expenses, has dropped from $103 billion at the start of the

City contends with naming policy


By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Naming a public building is more complicated than putting up a plaque a lesson Millbrae ofcials learned Tuesday evening. Mayor Dan Quigg will be leaving the council next month after opting not to run for reelection. On Tuesday, the Millbrae City Council discussed a naming policy along with

a suggestion to name two library conference rooms after Quigg. Quigg excused himself from the discussion which raised many questions especially given that the vote would be to honor a sitting councilmember.

Thought for the Day


Since others have to tolerate my weaknesses,it is only fair that I should tolerate theirs.
William Allen White,American journalist (1868-1944)

This Day in History

1911

The African-American fraternity Omega Psi Phi was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C.

In 1558, Elizabeth I acceded to the English throne upon the death of Queen Mary. In 1800, Congress held its rst session in Washington in the partially completed Capitol building. In 1869, the Suez Canal opened in Egypt. In 1917, French sculptor Auguste Rodin died in Meudon at age 77. In 1934, Lyndon Baines Johnson married Claudia Alta Taylor, better known as Lady Bird, in San Antonio, Texas. In 1969, the rst round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks between the United States and the Soviet Union opened in Helsinki, Finland. In 1973, President Richard Nixon told Associated Press managing editors in Orlando, Fla.: People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, Im not a crook. In 1979, Irans Ayatollah Khomeini ordered the release of 13 black and/or female American hostages being held at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. In 1987, a federal jury in Denver convicted two neo-Nazis and acquitted two others of civil rights violations in the 1984 slaying of radio talk show host Alan Berg. In 1991, the rst national TV commercial for condoms (Trojan) aired during an episode of the Fox situation comedy Hermans Head. Ten years ago: The Taliban conrmed the death of Osama bin Ladens military chief Mohammed Atef in an airstrike three days earlier. Burhanuddin Rabbani, the Afghan president ousted ve years earlier by the Taliban, returned to the capital Kabul. Lennox Lewis knocked out Hasim Rahman in the fourth round to get back his WBC and IBF heavyweight titles in Las Vegas.

More cats than inmates at Florida prison set to close
BELLE GLADE, Fla. Authorities say dozens of cats that sneaked into a South Florida prison will be found new homes before the facility closes next month. As many as 80 cats have burrowed under fences and taken up residence at the state-run prison in Belle Glade. Prisoners have been feeding the animals, even though rules prohibit that. The 1,000-inmate prison closes Dec. 1. Ofcials tell The Palm Beach Post that as of Monday, there are more cats than prisoners at the facility. Just 69 inmates remain awaiting transfers. Palm Beach County animal control ofcers are removing the cats so they wont starve when the prison closes. Theyre offering to waive adoption fees to nd them new homes. Some of the cats have been euthanized because they were feral and couldnt be adopted. Chicago-based lawyer Jeffrey Leving told the Associated Press the suit filed in San Diego Superior Court by Mariah Yeater, 20, was recently removed without prejudice. Justin Bieber However, the lawsuit could be reled at a later date. A hearing set for Dec. 15 has been canceled. This case was never dismissed. It can be relled today or tomorrow, Leving said. We are trying to settle this matter out of court with Biebers camp. Yeater claims she had just turned 19 when she and Bieber, then 16, had a brief sexual encounter after one of the singers concerts last fall in a backstage backroom at Los Angeles Staples Center. Bieber has said hes never met Yeater and has denied allegations that he fathered Yeaters son who was born in July. Matthew Hiltzik, a spokesman for the teen heartthrob, said Bieber still intends to submit to a paternity test in the coming weeks. As weve said from the beginning, its sad that someone would fabricate such a malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claim, Hiltzik said. Well continue to consider all of our options to protect Justin. Yeater has not come forward with any evidence to prove Bieber is the father, but her attorneys insist the paternity test will prove he has a son. Leving said the media storm that has ensued combined with death threats made to Yeater were the main reasons why the lawsuit was withdrawn.

Presenting ...Broadway By the Year


Broadway By the Bay closes its 46th season with historical tour
By Natasha Artavia
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Police reports
Hungry thief
A pizza delivery man was robbed on Aspen Avenue in South San Francisco before 2:18 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 6.

With a medley of musicals blending into a historical tour of Broadways nest productions to the ones that couldve been just as embraced by audiences everywhere, Broadway By the Bay will be closing its 46th season with the creative Broadway By the Year. Opening Nov. 17 at the historical Fox Theatre in Redwood City, creator and writer Scott Siegel brings to the stage a unique look at Broadways history with performances from Cabaret, Mame and many more. Its a years worth of Broadway in one night, Siegel said. Through careful planning and selection, this run of Broadway By the Year will highlight the years 1947 and 1966, offering the audience a chance to hear their favorite Broadway piece from those years along with introducing them to songs and productions that never got the chance to blossom in the classics Broadway is known for today. Along with the medley of music during each performance, Siegel will be adding a historical narrative between pieces to give the audience the full scope of what each year brought not

only to Broadway but to society as well. I [will be letting] the audiences know what was going on at that time. Everything from what was happening in the world, in the arts and in Broadway, Siegel said. Through the use of historRon Bohmer ical facts and stories surrounding the songs being performed, the audience will be entertained with inspirations for particular musicals as well as learning how some of the pieces came to be. With each year being focused on came a wealth of music that Siegel sorted through to nd the best pieces to paint a picture of that year in Broadway. Theres always more material than you can put in and the show can only be so long, Siegel said of the selection process. Between making sure the audience would be able to identify songs from famous productions such as Cabaret, and showcasing songs that are lesser known by the audience, Siegel hopes the audience will be intrigued by the variety the show has to offer. You get a pretty eclectic mix, Ron Bohmer,

a cast member for the show said of the musical numbers. Bohmer, who has been billed in Les Miserables and Fiddler on the Roof, is known most recently for his role as the Coach Bolton in Disneys High School Musical. Along with playing a range of different characters on stage for the show, Bohmer explained that working on the production offered him a chance to discover a number from Sweet Charity titled, Too Many Tomorrows. It was really a thrill for me to discover it, Bohmer said. With just shy of a weeks worth of rehearsing, Bohmer and the rest of the cast, including Christina Bianco (Newsical, Forbidden Broadway) hastily learned the choreography and lyrics for the different numbers to put on a stage production that will give audiences a unique way to discover and revisit Broadways best. Broadway By the Year is an all-ages show and will run six performances from Nov. 17 to Nov. 20. Tickets start at $22 and can be bought at the Broadway By the Bay box ofce in Burlingame, online at broadwaybythebay.org or by phone 579-5565. the constitutionality of the 2008 ban, known as Proposition 8, asked the state high court to weigh in on that question before it gets to the broader issues. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has expressed doubts about the ability of Proposition 8s sponsors alone to challenge a lower court ruling that overturned the initiative.

Learning with Legos


North Star students gear up for robotics tournament
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Energy Secretary Chu faces test on Solyndra


By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It seems simple enough get the little robot to catch three big sh without moving a smaller sh all made from Legos placed on a table. Getting the small Lego robot to complete the task three times is the most challenging part. The small tweaks can be the most difcult part, said Ellis Spickermann, a sixth grader at North Star Academy in Redwood City. Rather than using inches as a measurement tool, it calls for rotations. Those kinds of details are fresh in the mind of a number of students at North Star who will be competing Saturday in the First Lego League Robotics Tournament an ofcial qualifying tournament for the league. Twelve teams, including three based at North Star, will compete Saturday for a chance to advance to the Northern California Peninsula Championship Tournament. I think its important for kids to have access to technology, said Pam Keller, who leads the middle school team. North Stars program began three years ago but prior to that was run by parents. Keller was introduced to the Lego robots at a gathering of science teachers. She knew it needed to be in the classroom. Unfortunately, Keller doesnt get to play with the robots too much. Helping the students is the challenge. Each year, the students are given a theme. This year is Food Factor. Teams compete in different areas of food-related projects including researching the food safety problems and possible solutions; core values, such as solving the challenge together, demonstrating core values, team skills and strategies; and robot design when the team

will show the judges the best physical features, discuss their programs and table challenge strategies. After working with those three judges, students have two and a half minutes to complete as many tasks as possible. Before starting, students get one practice round. You need to be able to do it three times to prove its not luck, said seventh-grade student Thomas Baldeschwieler, who was getting his robot to pick up a toy truck. On the all-girls team, Spickermann, Clara MacAvoy and Tanin Barzanian similarly worked out small details. Its important to get things to work. MacAvoy explained teams gain points for each task but lose points if they touch the robot while its on the board away from the base. There are numerous-Lego inspired challenges from moving the sh, to simply navigating the table or knocking corn out of a tractor. Thirteen-year-old Matt Personette started because he liked working with Legos. Sydney Shirriff, on the other hand, had built her own Lego robots. She liked the idea of programming and building it. When she heard there was a chance to work with a team and compete, Shirriff joined. Saturday will be Shirriffs rst competition, and although she knows some teams are bigger, shes excited for the opportunity. The competition will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19 at North Star Academy, 400 Duane St., Redwood City.

WASHINGTON Energy Secretary Steven Chu won a Nobel Prize in physics, but his handling of a solar energy loan has some critics calling him clueless. Chu undoubtedly will face hostile questioning Thursday from House Republicans who are investigating the $528 million federal loan received by solar panel maker Solyndra before it went belly up, laying off its 1,100 workers. Some Republicans, including presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, have called Steven Chu for Chu to be red. Newly released emails show the White House considered doing just that earlier this year as the Obama administration braced for a political storm brewing over Solyndra. The White House says Chu retains the presidents condence, but that trust could be challenged when the energy secretary faces GOP critics for the rst time. Chu is scheduled to be the sole witness as the House Energy and Commerce Committee continues a nine-month investigation. Although several red ags were raised over Solyndras nancial stability, the Department of Energy and the White House decided to put taxpayer funds at risk, said Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., who is leading the GOP investigation. I look forward to asking Secretary Chu why these warnings were ignored.

WASHINGTON Democrats and Republicans rallied on a rare patch of common ground Wednesday and Congress approved legislation helping government contractors and unemployed veterans, nally giving President Barack Obama the chance to sign the rst, tiny shred of his $447 billion jobs bill into law. The House sent the bill to the White House by an overwhelming 422-0, six days after the Senate passed it 95-0. The legislation creates tax breaks for companies hiring jobless veterans a part of Obamas jobs plan and beefs up vets job-training and counseling programs. It also repeals a 2006 law that would require the federal, state and local governments to withhold 3 percent of their payments to contractors.

Few tangible effects of Occupy protests


NEW YORK Everywhere, it seems, people want to weigh in about the Occupy Wall Street protests around the country, from CEOs and politicians to your nextdoor neighbor. So far the talk has translated into little action. Two months into the movement, with police dismantling the encampments one by one, city by city, few politicians or policymakers have publicly taken up the protesters cause and done anything to address corporate excesses and economic inequality. But some political observers say the demonstrators have changed the conversation in the U.S., and that is a big rst step. Theyve shifted the center of gravity of the debate so that the whole question of wealth and privilege is now being discussed, said William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, the Washington political think tank. In a democracy, what people are talking about matters. Georgia state Sen. Vincent Fort, a Democrat who was among those arrested when protesters were expelled from an Atlanta park last month, said he is not troubled by the absence of any major tangible change. The Occupy movement is a relative baby. Its just a few months old, he said. The most important thing it has done is to change the conversation in this country. You cant have any policy change, you cant have any legislative change, until the debate is changed. Examples of real, measurable Occupy-inspired change in the political sphere are hard to come by. In Rhode Island, Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse noted that Occupy activists encouraged customers to ght back recently against fees imposed by major banks a fight that ended with Bank of America and its competitors backing down. Whitehouse is trying to channel the anger that has bubbled up in the Occupy movement against big banks as he seeks support for a bill to crack down on credit card interest rates. Union leaders say the Occupy movement has also brought a spark of optimism and energy to organized labor after a summer of setbacks and assaults on their bargaining power. The Occupy movement has framed the ght, said Mary Kay Henry, president of the Service Employees International Union. Theyve totally changed the debate within a 30-day period. She added: It has impacted expectations among people who were beaten down. In fact, labor leaders insist the Occupy movements message of economic inequality was a factor earlier this month in Ohio, where voters overwhelmingly repealed a law curtailing public employees right to collective bargaining. But political experts are skeptical of that claim. Thats a stretch, said Paul Beck, a political science professor at the Ohio State University in Columbus. The sentiment of Ohioans on that bill very much precedes any of the Occupy Wall Street activities and their spinoffs in various cities.

More protesters set up camp at UC Berkeley

BERKELEY Anti-Wall Street activists were bracing for a confrontation with police Wednesday after establishing a tent encampment on the steps of the University of California, Berkeley student plaza despite a campus ban on camping. Campus police repeatedly told the protesters in the morning that they risked arrest if they did not take the tents down and leave. But

the protesters remained in the plaza, where they were joined overnight by Daniel Ellsberg, a former defense analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Meanwhile in San Francisco, police early Wednesday arrested at least seven people and conscated about a dozen tents at one of several encampments of protesters supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement. Police in riot gear surrounded the area as protesters stood nearby pondering their next move.

Sunken crab boat may Teens plead not guilty to attempted murder have been vandalized
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A commercial crabbing boat docked at Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay that sank Sunday morning may have been an act of vandalism, a Coast Guard spokesman said. The harbormaster at Pillar Point Harbor reported the incident to the Coast Guard at 9 a.m., but the 32-foot berglass boat named, Tonita, was already submerged, said Coast Guard spokesman Ron Skoda. It appears that somebody may have turned a hose on inside the cabin and lled the boat with water, Skoda said. The owner of the vessel, Chris Eatinger, is a Watsonville resident who works as a seafood salesperson and commercial sherman. Eatinger said that year-round he catches red rock crab and then switches to Dungeness crab when the season begins on Nov. 15. With the help of the Coast Guard, the Tonita has been salvaged and is now aoat, said Eatinger.

All electronics on board were lost and the engine may not be repairable, but the hull looks good, said Eatinger who does not have boat insurance. Its absolutely 100 percent that someone did this. Harbor police found a garden hose in my cabin turned on. Its hard to understand why someone would do this, Eatinger said. Eatinger said he feels targeted. He says he has had disagreements with other sherman over the years, but never anything serious. I have an account with Monterey Bay Aquarium for red rock crab. Some guy might have thought that I was jumping the (Dungeness crab) season, Eatinger said. I was just doing what I always do, getting red rock crab. Im not competition. I dont have many crab pots. Ive got 150 old ragtag pots. Eatinger said that by Tuesday the harbor patrol and Coast Guard had contained the oil spill and oil that leaked into the water was collected and disposed in an environmentally sound manner.

Three teens who prosecutors say waged a multi-city crime spree, including a coastside shooting of a gas station clerk, the slashing of a taxi driver and armed robberies, pleaded not guilty to attempted premeditated murder. Robert John Herrera, of Pacica, and Ronald Resendez, of Oakland, both 18, and Daniel Bustos-Mendez, 19, of Menlo Park, are each charged with attempted robbery, assault with a semi-automatic rearm, two counts of robbery, one count of attempted carjacking and vehicle theft. After entering their respective pleas, the teens were scheduled for an April 16 jury trial. Prosecutors believe Resendez, who is also charged with personally using a rearm, was the ringleader and shooter in the string of crimes while Herrera is ngered as the driver and lookout. According to authorities, the three defendants and a minor robbed a Shell gas station on Hickey Boulevard in Pacica on Aug. 20, 2010. Herrera drove the group in a Toyota stolen from Sunnyvale and acted as lookout while the others

went inside. When the clerk was slow opening the register, Resendez allegedly shot him four times in the legs before the group ed without taking any cash. The group then headed to South San Francisco where they allegedly robbed at gunpoint a 7-Eleven store on Callan Boulevard, using the same method of Herrera as lookout. In Colma, the group allegedly approached a taxi driver wanting to take the cab as a new vehicle. One person, still unidentied, reportedly tried to stab the driver in the neck but hit his hand when he put it up in defense. They ed again and were later spotted by Daly City police who recognized the vehicle from reports of the earlier incidents and of a stolen car from Sunnyvale. The group jumped from the car and police later discovered the handgun about 20 yards away and Herrera in the backyard of a nearby residence. Police also arrested the other minor but prosecutors have not charged him. Herrera and Bustos-Mendez are in custody in lieu of $1 million bail. Resendez is held on $3 million bail. The three return to court Feb. 24 for a pretrial conference.

Not guilty plea in coastal shooting


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A man accused of shooting a rival gangmember in Half Moon Bay and the only one of four arrested remaining in custody pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and weapons charges. Christian Serrano Deleon, 21, was also scheduled for an estimated six-hour preliminary hearing Jan. 31 to determine if hell stand trial in the Aug. 14 incident. Authorities arrested Deleon after linking him to the shooting of Jose Monroy, 28, who was found bleeding from a gunshot wound to his foot on the 200 block of Grove Street. A few days later, another gunshot victim

showed up at Seton Medical Center and deputies tracked down the suspects, including DeLeon. Authorities believe Deleon and Monroy were in different gangs who exchanged slurs before Deleon, a Norteo who reportedly goes by Spooky, pulled out a handgun and red. Monroy was hit in the foot and the other victim had a bullet lodge in his sternum. During the search that turned up Deleon, deputies reported finding a large quantity of marijuana and a bicycle that matched the description of the shooters bike. The bike had been painted a different color. Deleon remains in custody without bail.

Home prices tumble in October as sales rise


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Home sales rose in California last month, but prices fell sharply as fewer high-end properties sold. Market researcher DataQuick said Wednesday that 34,087 homes and condos were sold in the state in October, up 4.3 percent from the same month last year but down nearly 4 percent from September.

By comparison, October sales have averaged about 43,500 since 1988. They peaked at more than 70,000 in 2003 and plunged to fewer than 26,000 in 2007. The median sale price was $240,000, down more than 6 percent from October 2010. It was the 13th straight month that prices have declined from year-ago levels. More than half of the existing homes sold were foreclosures or were short sales that were sold for less than the debt owed on them.

Millionaires on Capitol Hill: Please tax me more!


By Laurie Kellman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Lobbyists for a day, a band of millionaires stormed Capitol Hill on Wednesday to urge Congress to tax them more. They had a little trouble getting in. It turns out there are procedures, even for the really rich. But once inside, their message was embraced by liberals and tolerated by some conservatives including the ideological leader of anti-tax lawmakers, who had some

advice for them, too. If you think the federal government can spend your money better than you can, then by all means pay more in taxes than you owe, said Grover Norquist, of Americans for Tax Reform, a group that has gotten almost all congressional Republicans to pledge to vote against tax hikes. The IRS should have a little line on the form where people can donate money to the government, he suggested, just like the tip line on a restaurant receipt. One of the millionaires suggestvotes and when those ballots were counted, it flipped to 53-47 percent. In Belmont, the ballot count passed 58-42 percent. When the Belmont ballots were weighted by dollar amount, it flipped to 41-59 percent. The ballot was mailed to all property owners in San Carlos and Belmont.

ed that if Norquist wanted low taxes and less government, Renounce your American citizenship and move to Somalia where they dont collect any tax. In the silence left by the private efforts of the supercommittee to find $1.2 trillion or more in deficit cuts by Thanksgiving, free advice flowed in public. And not just any advice: pie-inthe-sky suggestions from those not connected to the talks, mostly to reopen debates that have led nowhere. The millionaires want the panel to raise taxes on people who

earn more than $1 million, even though most Republicans are committed against the idea. And 150 House member and senators urged a much bigger debt-and-deficit deal, even as a small-scope agreement is proving elusive. While they were at it, the lawmakers insisted that bipartisanship was not, in fact, dead. This group of House members and senators shared a stage and some jokes and signed a letter urging the supercommittee of Republicans and Democrats to find the required $1.2 trillion in cuts

plus about $2.8 trillion more. They all want the panel to avoid triggering automatic cuts as a penalty for failing. So this uneasy alliance of 150 Republicans and Democrats will vote for whatever deal the supercommittee strikes? No, said House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer. Nobodys going to commit to the deal until they see the deal. What deal? There is no evidence that one is near, so the millionaires tried to meet with anyone who would meet with them.

Unprecedented smoking ban a hot topic


The decision to nearly eliminate smoking from all areas of Belmont the week of Nov. 18, 2006 had people across the country watching the small Peninsula city as it prepared to make history. The Belmont City Council voted unanimously that week to draft an ordinance that would ban smoking in all areas of the city except for detached, single-family residences.

or have lost their home due to the home mortgage and banking fraud and misrepresentation scandal. The Occupy Movement is about the millions of people who cant afford health care for themselves or their children. Its about the millions of people who lost their life savings, investments and retirement pensions, due to the scandal on Wall Street, from fraud and SEC violations by speculators and scammers like Bernie Madoff. The Occupy Movement is also about the thousands of Iraqi War veterans who come home and cant nd employment. The protesters of the Occupy Movement representing the 99 percent dont want a handout, they just need a hand up. They will continue to be knocked down, but, they will always get back up and keep ghting and struggling to survive. The 1 percent and the greedy corporations already have their pot of gold or their American Dream. The 99 percent just want to be allowed to pursue their own pot of gold or American Dream, no matter how big or small it is, without political, government or corporate interference or obstacles created by politicians bought and paid for by the 1 percent and the greedy corporations. For most of the 99 percent, their pot of gold may be able to afford a house to live in, a roof over their head and food on the table. Their American Dream may be the perfect job, or, buying a new car every ve years. The Occupy Movement needs to move on to the next level. It has made its presence

Occupy Movement:What its about


By Michael Oberg

Veg? Out!
Guest perspective
known at the local level, all over our country. But, it needs to advance to the national level with demonstrations and protests in Washington, D.C. There needs to be a million person march that encircles the Capitol Building complex and the White House. They should even crash a session of Congress. The Occupy Movement should put pressure on our government as a whole, and on individual congressional representatives in the form of recall and removal from ofce if they dont start to represent their constituents equally and fairly under the law. The protesters should continue to put pressure on Wall Street. The bank transfer day, when nearly a million people withdrew their money from the big banks like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase and others, and opened accounts in smaller banks and credit unions, is a great start. The Occupy Movement should continue to encourage more economic pressure on the big banks and big corporations, while, at the same time continue the political pressure on Congress. The Occupy Movement will continue to grow.
Michael R. Oberg is a resident of San Mateo.

he Occupy Movement is not about the transfer or redistribution of wealth in our country. It is not about the 99 percent asking for a free handout from the government or from the 1 percent wealthiest people and the big corporations. It has nothing to do with that. The protesters of the Occupy Movement who represent the 99 percent do not want a single dime from the 1 percent. People like Alice Weiss, in her guest perspective Finding common ground in the Nov. 9 issue of the Daily Journal, are totally clueless about the Occupy Movement. The Occupy Movement is not just about the wealth of the 1 percent and the greedy corporations, it is about what the 1 percent and the greedy corporations do with their wealth. That is the problem and focus, deep down, in the Occupy Movement. The 1 percent and greedy corporations buy corruption and power with their wealth. Together, they corrupt our country, our government and our politicians. Together, they buy political power and political favor. They use this political power to get what they want, including increasing their accumulation of wealth and property. The Occupy Movement is about the millions of people who are unemployed or under-employed because of corporations outsourcing jobs to overseas countries. It is about the millions of people who are losing

The American Dream


The Boston Globe

Other voices
found that almost 40 percent of young people have either no net worth or negative net worth. This study comes on top of other data showing that over one in four recent college graduates is unemployed. Its easy to blame this state of affairs on young people: Theyre too coddled and feel too entitled; theyre too busy partying or playing video games or occupying Wall Street to focus on getting a job and contributing to society. But this explanation overlooks

f young people deem the American Dream to be as relevant as Lawrence Welk, its a problem for a social contract built on the idea that each new generation will be more prosperous than the last. Sadly, every new study makes the economic plight of younger adults more apparent. Consider a recent Pew Research Study, which found the wealth gap between adults over 65 and adults under 35 to be at a stunning ratio of 47 to 1 nearly ve times what it was in 1984. Further, Pews research

deep changes in the economy. Even as the cost of a college degree rises, its increasingly become more of a minimum qualication than a guaranteed pass to the middle class. And unlike those who came of age during a period of extended prosperity, todays young people are facing the worst job market in decades. Lawmakers should recognize that questions of generational equity arise in a number of national policy issues for instance, whether and how to adjust Medicare and Social Security benets and that younger Americans have a particular interest in measures that might stimulate the economy now.

Letter to the editor


High-speed rail is the grand swindle
Editor, We have been swindled. The passage of Proposition 1A in Nov 2008 authorizing almost $10 billion in state bonds to be used for creation of a high-speed rail train is now clearly shown to be a grand swindle. Not only were the voters swindled into passing the proposition, but the legislature was swindled into passing and allowing Proposition 1A to ever appear on the ballot. In 2008, the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) promoted the project saying the cost would be $32 billion. The just released business plan now says the cost will be $98.5 billion. In 2008, we were told a trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco would be two hours and 40 minutes. Under the new plan, the trip will take at least four hours and more likely ve to six hours. In 2008, we were told ridership would be 117 million passengers per year; now the reported number is reduced to at most 35 million. In 2008, we were told we could go from Los Angles to San Francisco by the year 2020; now we are told the rail will not be ready until 2032. The list goes on and on. The CHSRA has been a rogue agency, making promises that cannot be kept. The CHSRA promised private investment, yet currently no private equity has appeared. It is time to stop this project. The legislature has the power to cut funding from the project. This was the action recommended by Californias Legislative Analysts Ofce (LAO) and should be immediately implemented.

ny way you slice it, pizza is not a vegetable. Pizza is delicious. Its ooey and gooey, nearly universally adored, makes a great hangover breakfast straight out of the refrigerator and can very well include the occasional leafy green. But pizza itself is not a vegetable. Unfortunately, Congress hungering for ways to cut costs doesnt see it that way. Elected leaders, in all their innite wisdom and endless claims of acting on behalf of the children, think halting the Department of Agricultures new school lunch nutritional guidelines is a dandy way to save billions of dollars. Rather than telling all schools, and not just those with Alice Waters-style gardens, to toss some spendy peas and carrots on the menu, Congress wants districts to continue dishing up pizza as a serving of vegetables. The only caveat is each slice must have two tablespoons of tomato sauce. Even the most die-hard pizza fans must admit that all the carby crusts and pepperoni slices sort of negate pizza as anything other than a mixed-media meal where vegetable takes a back seat to fat, dairy, salt and lots of other components that get short shrift on the new dietary pie chart. But believing that the allure of cash and charm of lobbyists outweigh common sense isnt hard to swallow. Back in the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan tried reclassifying ketchup as a vegetable in school lunches. Guess jelly beans were too hard a sell, even the fruitavored morsels. In any case, the American Frozen Food Institute has been lobbying Congress to keep the nutrition status quo and bristles when folks like yours truly boil its position down to pizza actually being a vegetable. No, no, it says. A pizza slice is simply equivalent to a single serving of vegetable because of the tomato sauce. Ah! Of course and a taco is equivalent to a vegetable because of the shredded lettuce and tomato-based salsa. Follow that up with carrot cake and have a double helping! Even better, dip some green beans in chocolate sauce. Sprinkle cauliower on a bowl of whipped cream. For good measure, grab some blueberry yogurt and call it fruit. The possibilities are endless. Seriously, some chefs are truly magicians in the kitchen but even Thomas Keller doesnt have the power to turn two dollops of processed pizza sauce into a nutritious vegetable. Granted, pizza itself can be made into a sensible meal option, mainly by knocking off all the good bits of sausage and extra mozzarella. But how in the heck can anyone actually think the general public will buy pizza by any other name, or shall I say equivalent? Fruit and vegetables have an identity crisis, no doubt. Take the tomato. We toss it in with some lettuce and dressing to call it a vegetable but its classication makes it technically a fruit. Using the aforementioned vegetable test, pizza certainly doesnt pass. Of course, throwing an anchovy pizza in with some romaine and Caesar dressing lets the schools qualify for both a veggie and a protein serving two birds, one stone-red pizza. The reality is that a lack of adequate funding for school lunches, increasing poverty all around and picky taste buds, mean pizza may be the closest thing to a vegetable some of these students get. But lets not kid ourselves into thinking tomato sauce is some sort of gateway vegetable toward a summer squash craving or that two tablespoons of sauce offers up the same value as an eggplant. Pizza is not the worst thing a kid could eat but lets call it what it is pizza. And lets be clear that if this request stands, the only things qualifying as a vegetable should be the congressional members whose brains are obviously out to lunch.

two steps back. The Dow Jones industrial average closed at 11,905.59, a loss of 190.57, or 1.6 percent. It was the Dows rst close below 12,000 since last Thursday. The Standard & Poors 500 index fell 20.89 points, or 1.7 percent, to 1,236.92. The Nasdaq composite lost 46.59, or 1.7 percent, to 2,639.61. Concerns that the debt troubles of Greece and Italy could spread have been driving the borrowing rates of France higher on bond markets since the beginning of November. The benchmark rate on Frances 10year bonds was just 2.54 percent on Oct. 5. It has climbed steadily since then, reaching 3.69 percent Wednesday. Thats a reection of deepening worries that France, the second-largest country in the euro bloc after Germany, could be in danger of losing its triple-A credit rating. For the moment, Fitch said the risks to U.S. banks from Europe appeared to be manageable. However investors have been quick to respond to headlines about how Europes debt woes might hurt the global nancial system. Fitch said the top ve U.S. banks have a total of $114 billion in loans, deposits and other assets tied to French banks.

NEW YORK A warning from Fitch Ratings that large U.S. banks could be hit hard if Europes debt crisis spreads sent stocks falling late Wednesday. U.S. indexes were moving between small gains and losses before Fitch released its report around 3:15 p.m. Eastern time. The Dow was down 36 points with an hour of trading left, then plunged to end the day down 190. Fitch, one of the three main credit ratings agencies along with S&P and Moodys, said U.S. banks could be greatly affected if Europes debt crisis continues to spread beyond nancially troubled countries such as Greece, Ireland and Portugal. Large banks took a late dive. Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. each lost 3.7 percent. Goldman Sachs dropped 4.1 percent and Morgan Stanley 7.9 percent. This is a long-running, slow-developing story, said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank in Chicago.

Strong factories,lower prices lift economy


By Daniel Wagner and Christopher S. Rugaber

WASHINGTON U.S. manufacturing is recovering from a slump, and ination may be peaking. Data issued Wednesday point to an economy growing slowly but steadily. Still, surging oil prices and a possible European recession threaten to drain the economys momentum. The continued resilience of manufacturing is encouraging, since this should be the sector most exposed to the global economic slowdown, said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist with Capital Economics. Output at the nations factories, utilities and mines rose 0.7 percent last month, the Federal Reserve said Wednesday. It was the fastest growth in

three months. Factory output, the largest component of industrial production, increased a solid 0.5 percent. That marked the fourth straight monthly gain. Factories made more trucks, electronics and business equipment. Manufacturers are beneting from the strong growth in emerging markets, and domestic businesses are condent enough in the future to continue expanding purchases of capital equipment, said Daniel Meckstroth, chief economist for the Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI, a trade group. A separate report from the Labor Department showed Americans paid less for gas, cars and computers last month as overall prices fell for the rst time since June. Slower ination could give the Federal Reserve more leeway to lower long-term

interest rates to help the economy. In the current soft economic environment, ination is not an issue for policymakers, said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets. Factory production was dragged down this spring after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami disrupted key supply chains for automakers and other manufacturers. Rising food and gas costs and shaky nancial markets caused consumers to cut back on big purchases. The auto industry has rebounded to drive most of the growth in factory output. Many U.S. auto plants, which depend upon parts from Japan to produce various models, are seeing supply chains ow more freely. Production of motor vehicles and parts rose 3.1 percent in October, the fourth straight monthly gain. Light trucks were the biggest contributor.

MINNEAPOLIS Count your blessings, then get to work. That may be Thanksgiving for more retail workers this year, as stores desperate to pull in buyers on the rst weekend of the holiday shopping season push their openings earlier and earlier. Unhappy workers who say it ruins their Thanksgiving celebrations are trying to persuade companies to back off, but retailers say theyre stuck: Its what customers want.

Thanksgiving Day ruins what is supposed to be a day spent with family, said Anthony Hardwick, who works part-time at a Target store in Omaha corralling carts. His online petition against Target Corp.s plan to open at midnight on Black Friday had drawn more than 100,000 signatures from retail workers and the public by Wednesday, about two weeks after he launched it. The folks that work at Target are going to be working all night overnight on one of the most hectic retail days of the holidays, Hardwick said, they need to be well-rested for that, so they have to miss out on Thanksgiving if theyre going to be working overnight.

Young Menlo volleyball team falls in CCS tournament to Soquel
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

There will come a time in the near future when the rest of the volleyball world wont want anything to do with the team from Menlo School. That day isnt too far out. But until then, like any team that is young and extremely talented, there will be growing pains and tough lessons to learn. Wednesday night was one of those times for the Knights. In what has to be one of the most exciting matches of the 2011 Central Coast Section playoffs, the No. 3 Knights forced a thrilling Game 5, but fell short in their bid to reach the Division IV nal, falling to No. 2 Soquel 2512, 24-26, 25-20, 22-25, 16-14. Soquel will face off against No. 1 Sacred Heart Prep in Saturdays Division IV nal. I dont think either team knew what to expect, said Menlo head coach Alle Hubbard. We didnt face each other all year long and it was hard fought. Im glad for both sides because thats the way for a team to move on and thats the way for a team to end a season. Menlo should take solace in the fact that they, through certain stretches of the match, played beyond their years. This Menlo team has only one senior,Natalie Roy (who played through the flu on Wednesday), and yet showed the poise and determination of a squad where that could be the opposite. Down a set twice, the Knights battled back, and that made for quite the exciting affair. But they also played that showed their youth. And that cost them at the end of the day. Soquel came out and blitzed the Knights in Game 1. They found themselves down 3-0 early on, but then stormed past Menlo, nessing their way with tips for winners that were nding holes on the court. Before Menlo knew what hit them, that three point advantage disappeared and they found themselves down 73. Menlo never recovered in Game 1, falling 25-12. Menlo picked themselves up in Game 2 and found an extra gear when they faced a decit. The second set marked the beginning of a tremendous night by Maddie Huber, who was Menlos go-to person throughout the match. Huber came up with a pair of huge kills midway through the frame, as well as a big block. Soquel made a push down 24-20, but Menlo put things away and won 26-24. The visitors won the ever-important third set 25-20 by feeding the rock to Bria Morgan, their outstanding outside hitter. Morgans play,

didnt get a ton of feedback regarding my column on Serras decision to remain in the Central Coast Section Division I bracket for the football playoffs, but the two phone calls I did get disagreed with me wholeheartedly. Which is ne. But there are some misconceptions I would like to clear up. Misconception No. 1: I dont know what Im talking about. Reality: You may be right, but Im a lot closer to this stuff than a lot of people. When it comes to the Sports Lounge, however, it is my opinion and I am entitled to it. Disagree if you want, but that doesnt make me wrong and you right. You have your opinion and I have mine. We can agree to disagree. Misconception No. 2: All private schools (read: West Catholic Athletic League) must play in the Open Division. Reality: No team is required to play in the O p e n Division. It was created with the hope that the best, strongest, teams regardless of their division of enrollment would rather take the tough route to a title. Many times, teams opt to play in the Open Division. That is, they willingly choose to participate to play in the Open Division. If no teams decided to opt to play in the Open Division, CCS would take the top eight teams based on power points and slot them into the bracket. In Serras case, it had less points than the likes of Leland and Terra Nova, thus the Padres are not required to play in the Open Division if they so choose. Misconception No. 3: Private schools can decide whichever division in which they want to play. Reality: All schools, private and public, are put into the division in

wants another ring. Thats why Rathman demands so much from his players. Its their job to get rst downs. Its their job to get in the end zone. And its because of the 49ers impressive play so far running the ball that quarterback Alex Smith was so successful in the passing attack during Sundays 2720 win against the New York Giants. Theres some wrath in Rathman. When we win, we want to dominate, Rathman said. We want to take guys out. We want to hurt guys. We want to win. We just want to dominate, hit them in the mouth.

Michael Bush lling in nicely


ALAMEDA When the Oakland Raiders lost Darren McFadden and his breakaway speed to a foot injury, it didnt exactly slow down their offense. Thats because they have a more-than-capable backup in the bruising Michael Bush. While Bush may be more apt to run over defenders that sprint by Michael Bush them, he has been almost as effective as McFadden and is a big reason why the Raiders (5-4) are in rst place in the AFC West. That guy is talented enough to be a starting back anywhere in the league, offensive lineman Stefen Wisniewski said. He just happens to be playing with one of the best backs in the league and hes a second back. But we have a lot of condence in him and we have no reason to change our game plan. With Darren out, we feel like we can still run the ball. McFadden sprained his right foot in the rst quarter against Kansas City on Oct. 23. He has not practiced Bonds became a prep star then he helped rebuild the Menlo College program as offensive coordinator the following year. Now, hes making his mark with the team that drafted him in the third round out of Nebraska. I played here when the 49ers were outstanding in the 80s, early 90s. It was a high standard, Rathman said. There was a certain standard that was upheld when youre in the locker room, when youre on the eld, when youre out at practice, going out and executing in games. Those were the things that you try to teach these guys as they come in here. You want to hold them up to the standards that I was held up to when I rst came in here. Theres a certain way to do things and the bottom line is youve got to get your job done out on the football eld. It doesnt matter what youre up against, youve got to do it. Theres a certain way to do it. Rathman took on fullback Bruce since then but did make it out to the eld to watch practice for the rst time since the injury Wednesday. I saw Darren McFadden without a boot, standing out here with his teammates today for the rst time in a long time, coach Hue Jackson said. So to me, thats huge progress. But its probably not enough to get him back on the eld to play Sunday at Minnesota (2-7), meaning Bush is in line to start again. Bush got off to a slow start this season as he got limited chances with McFadden off to such a strong start. Bush had 43 carries in Oaklands rst six games for just 138 yards and a 3.2 average per carry. But as soon as McFadden sprained his foot in the rst quarter against the Chiefs, Bush stepped up his game. He has 66 carries the past three games for 352 yards and a 5.3 average. He has also made a big contribution in the passing game with seven catches for 130 yards and a touchdown. Its cool getting the ball but its what Im supposed to do, Bush said. Running the ball, like I told the coach, Just feed the stud. I told him that last week. Give me the ball and lets see what we can do. His best performance came against Miller as his personal project this season, transforming the rookie from defensive end to a reliable player on offense. Miller scored his rst career touchdown on a 30-yard catch from Smith in the teams 1911 win at Washington on Nov. 6. Theres that link to that great era and where we are right now, Harbaugh said. He does it in a very good way, respectful to both those teams that he played on and these teams that hes coaching. Always wise words from Tom. Hes a ball coach. The thing I admire about him is he never takes a break coaching. He is coaching all the time. Hes coaching in meetings, hes coaching on the practice eld, hes coaching on the way out to walk-through, coaching in the lobby, coaching in the hallways here. His meetings start a half-hour before everybody elses do. Its just great to see the consummate team guy that Tom Rathman is. Gore, who didnt practice San Diego last week when he ran for 157 yards and caught three passes for 85 yards for the most productive day from scrimmage for a Raiders player since 1963. Michael Bush is one really ne football player in this league also, Jackson said. Theres a lot of teams that would love to have him but hes ours. He plays for the Raiders and hes done a fantastic job. Hes up to the challenge and ready to play and he will be this Sunday. Bushs productivity has come at an opportune time for him. He is playing under a $2.6 million restricted free agent tender this season, but is eligible to be an unrestricted free agent next offseason. While that is not at the forefront of his thinking now, he is quickly proving he can be a lead back in the NFL. While Bush did get caught from behind on a couple of long plays in San Diego, his strengths come from a 245-pound frame that wears down defenses. He has been held to negative yards on just seven of 109 carries, for the lowest rate of any back this season with at least 100 carries. Bush also is the type of back who gets better as the game goes on, averaging 5.5 yards per carry after his 15th run of a game compared to 4.3 before that. Wednesday because of a right knee injury, sure appreciates it. Gore had his franchise-record ve straight games with 100 or more yards rushing end last week, when he got hurt and was held to zero yards on six carries his rst career game without a yard when he played. Gore has 7,196 career yards rushing and needs 149 to pass late Hall of Famer Joe Perry (7,344) for the most in franchise history. You teach technique, point courses, footwork, that put you in a position to execute your technique or your job, Rathman said. Once you deviate off that, chances of winning go down. ... The bottom line is going off and executing. If they dont, then Im going to get on them. Im going to tell them the truth. Some say the 49ers are showing more of a nasty edge this season. Rathman certainly inuences that mentality.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Neither campus nor city police received reports from a Penn State graduate assistant who testied to a grand jury that he saw a former defensive coordinator raping a boy in the team showers in 2002, the departments said Wednesday. State College police Chief Tom King said Mike McQueary didnt make a report to his department about Jerry Sandusky, whos been charged with abusing eight boys over 15 years. Penn State spokeswoman Annemarie Mountz said campus police also didnt have any record of a report led in 2002 by McQueary. McQueary wrote in a Nov. 8 email to a friend that hed talked to police about that allegation, but he didnt specify which police department. The email was made available Tuesday to The Associated Press. King has been police chief since 1993. State College police did help on a case led by Penn State police into a 1998 allegation, referred to in a 23-page grand jury report on the

Sandusky investigation as Victim 6. The report said the investigation began after an 11-year-old boys mother complained that Sandusky had showered with her son in the football facilities. King said the State College detective who helped on that case forwarded his notes to Penn State police, who then turned the case over to then-Centre Couny District Attorney Ray Gricar. He declined to le charges. Gricar disappeared in April 2005 and was declared legally dead earlier this year. Investigators have said they dont believe theres a connection between his disappearance and the decision to not charge Sandusky. Im confident that was fully investigated, King said of the 1998 case. He was very astute in what was needed to bring charges ... and certainly was not afraid to bring charges in a high-prole case. Otherwise, King said there have been no reports of child sexual abuse made to his department related to Sandusky. Rathman is among a handful of coaches Harbaugh retained from Mike Singletarys staff when Harbaugh was hired in January. This is the coachs second stint in charge of the running backs with his former team after first working under Steve Mariucci from 199702. After leaving for three seasons with the Detroit Lions and then two with the Oakland Raiders, he returned to the organization in 2009. The 49-year-old Rathman, a hardnosed Nebraskan with calves the size of cantaloupes, played the rst eight of his nine NFL seasons with the 49ers before nishing with the Los Angeles Raiders in 1994. The former fullback had 544 career carries for 2,020 yards and 26 touchdowns while also making 320 catches for 2,684 yards and eight TDs. Rathmans coaching career began in the Bay Area in 1995 when he guided running backs at Serra High in nearby San Mateo the same school where home run king Barry

In hindsight, the (football) committee thought everybody was on board with this, Lazenby Blaser said. They assumed [the right teams] would voluntarily opt up.

In the old days, at-large teams were not allowed, Lazenby Blaser said, adding only league winners and second-place teams earned spots in CCS at that time. Theres always talk (about shrinking the number of playoff teams), but once they (the schools) get it, they never give it back. In my opinion, football playoffs are too big.

Woods and Stricker get worst loss USF tops San Jose St.

MELBOURNE, Australia The handshake between Tiger Woods and ex-caddie Steve Williams was routine. The loss by Woods and Steve Stricker turned out to be the real drama in the Presidents Cup. Adam Scott and K.J. Choi were relentless Thursday at Royal Melbourne in dishing out the worst loss for Woods in any format of match play. The International tandem won 7 and 6, tying the record for biggest margin of victory in Presidents Cup history. Woods and Stricker, undefeated two years ago, turned out to be the only weak link for the Americans. They won three matches handily, and rallied to halve two other matches to build a 4-2 lead after the opening session. Woods and Stricker, winners of their rst six matches together, now have lost their last two 6 and 5 last year in the Ryder Cup to Lee Westwood and Luke Donald, and 7 and 6 to Scott and Choi.

SAN FRANCISCO Angelo Caloiaro had 19 points and 13 rebounds and San Francisco pulled away in overtime for an 8381 victory over San Jose State on Wednesday night. It was Caloiaros second consecutive double-double, and helped extend USFs winning streak to three games. Keith Shamburger scored a career-hightying 23 points for San Jose State (1-2). Perris Blackwell added 18 points and six rebounds for the Dons (3-1). Rashad Green had 11 points, eight boards and ve assists. The Dons scored seven points on their rst three possessions in overtime and didnt trail again, although the Spartans made it close behind Shamburger, who had eight points in the extra period. With USF up two and 3.5 seconds on the clock, the Dons Cody Doolin missed a pair of free throws. The Spartans Jaleel Williams grabbed the rebound and fed James Kinney,

whose 40-foot heave at the buzzer was off the mark. San Jose State hasnt won at USF since 1985. San Francisco scored six straight points to grab a 69-68 lead with 2:13 left in regulation on a deft layup by Blackwell from the center of San Jose States 2-3 zone. The Spartans, whose small-ball tactics frustrated the Dons for much of the night, went back ahead on a three-point play from Kinney with 1:39 left. San Jose State forced a tough miss on USFs next possession, but Shamburger couldnt create much and missed a 19-foot fadeaway jumper. With 27.5 seconds to go, Green forged a 71-71 tie by dropping two free throws for USF. Shamburger once again held the ball for a nal shot for the Spartans, but dribbled into the teeth of two defenders in the paint and found his shot gobbled up by Caloiaro. An 18-2 burst over 5 1/2 rst-half minutes gave the Dons a 22-8 lead. against teams that have more maturity, more experience, its tough for us.

Dressel and Sarah Bruml. All three girls are sophomores. She has stepped up in our matches more and more, Hubbard said of Huber. Shes a very consistent player, very vocal leader and she came through tonight. She came through as someone that we can count on when those points were tied near the end of the game. Shes fearless. Morgan helped Soquel crawl their way back from down 22-18. But Menlo had enough in the tank to force a winner-take-all fth set.

Game 5 was a back and forth affair, exciting from beginning to end. Tied at six, Menlo and Soquel exchanged points waiting for the other side to blink rst. A Morgan kill made it 12-all and back-to-back points gave Soquel a game point at 14-12. But Huber smashed a couple home to tie it back up at 14. Unfortunately for the Knights, a service error on the following point gave Soquel another game-point at 15-14 and on the ensuing play, Ragine Graves nifty tip into the

heart of the Menlo defense found hardwood and gave Soquel the victory. The fth (game) has a lot to do with, errors, Hubbard said, unforced errors. I think Soquel got a lot of great swings in, we got our kills, and I think at the end of the day, you want those points to end like that. That missed serve really killed us but, you know, its kind of the way things roll in the fifth game. Were a very young team, Hubbard said. And going up

He was an easy pick after helping the Tampa Bay Rays overcame a nine-game decit to beat out Boston for the wild-card spot on the last day. It was the biggest rally any team had made in September to claim a playoff berth.

Gibson, Maddon win Managers of Year


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Kirk Gibson and Joe Maddon won Manager of the Year awards Wednesday one for overseeing a worst-to-first turnaround that lasted all season, the other after a frantic playoff push in the nal month. Gibson was a clear choice in the NL for guiding the Arizona Diamondbacks to the West title. A former MVP as a rough-and-tumble outelder, Gibson was honored in his rst full season as a big league manager.

candidate. Gibson and the Diamondbacks went 94-68, a year after he took over in midseason as Arizona went 65-97. Stressing fundamentals and details from the first day of spring training, the 54-year-old Gibson pushed Kirk Gibson his team into the playoffs, where it lost to Milwaukee in the 10th

inning of the deciding Game 5 in the opening round.Gibson drew 28 of the 32 rst-place votes and got 152 points. He was the only manager in either league to be listed on every ballot. Ron Roenicke of the NL Central champion Brewers was second with three rst-place votes and 92 points. Tony La Russa of the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals was third with the other rst-place vote and 24 points. Voting was completed before the start of the playoffs.

former heavyweight champ Larry Holmes and promoter Don King. Also absent from the service at Bethesda Christian Fellowship on St. Helena Island was Fraziers body. In place of his casket, two large portraits of Frazier stood at the church altar one of him wearing the Olympic gold medal he won in 1964; the other taken with his massive heavyweight champion belt slung over his shoulder. After the church service, dozens more gathered for an outdoor memorial at a waterfront park overlooking the Beaufort River. Fraziers daughter, Jacqui Frazier Lyde of Philadelphia, told the crowd she regretted that she was unable to bring his casket back to South Carolina. I feel like, as the breeze is blowing, my fathers spirit is here, Lyde said. Because this is his home. Lyde said her father was being buried in a blue suit and patent leather shoes. He looked like one of Gods men. Frazier spent his first 15 years in Beaufort on a farm where his parents grew corn, watermelon and okra. Fraziers father was proud that he was not a sharecropper. He owned his land. By age 6, Frazier was in the elds helping his brothers and sisters pick tomatoes and other crops. He began driving his fathers pickup truck when he was 7. His mother would later recall Frazier started to ght around the age of 9. Fraziers father encouraged the brawling, saying he could grow up to be the next Joe Louis, and Frazier started training with whatever materials he had at hand. The ghter later said he gave daily beatings to his homemade punching bag for several years. Frazier was expelled from school in the ninth-grade when he fought a white student for calling his mother names. He got a job working construction that helped him build his body and earn enough money to leave the South. In 1959, at age 15, Frazier bought a ticket and boarded a bus to New York to begin training as a boxer in earnest. I left the South as soon as I found out about the North, Frazier later told a biographer. At the outdoor service, which ended with the traditional boxers sendoff of a ringing bell, Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling lamented that Frazier had to leave the segregated South to achieve success. Fraziers home state made some amends a year ago when he returned to Beaufort to be awarded the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolinas highest civilian honor. He showed that with determination, with ght, with discipline and with stamina you can go to the top, the mayor said. It is a great honor that somebody who grew up in this town brings that message to all.

Sports brief
Ex-Fiesta Bowl COO indicted by federal grand jury
PHOENIX The former chief operating ofcer of the Fiesta Bowl has been indicted on charges of ling false income tax returns for the bowl game, the rst charges against a former ofcial of one of the top national college football bowls and Bowl Championship Series member since a scathing report led to the ring of its president in March. Natalie Wisneski, 47, also faces federal campaign nance and conspiracy charges over allegations she solicited campaign contributions from bowl employees for federal, state and local political candidates and arranged for the bowl to repay them. The U.S. attorneys ofce in Phoenix announced the indictment Wednesday. Wisneski resigned from her job in March, shortly after bowl president and chief executive ofcer John Junker was red after the apparent campaign-donation scheme was made public. The investigation into the Fiesta Bowls conduct under Junker is ongoing and the organization under its new leadership is cooperating. The Arizona attorney general is also involved in the probe, and an investigation into numerous state politicians who took free tickets from the bowl is also under way. It could not immediately be determined if Wisneski has an attorney, and she did not immediately respond to a message left at her listed phone number. She will receive a summons to appear in court Nov. 30. The scandal at the Fiesta Bowl, which also hosts the national football championship every four years, put its role as one of the four top-tier bowl groups in jeopardy. But it avoided the worst sanctions the loss of the championship game and its NCAA license. A 276-page report of an investigation conducted by Fiesta Bowl board members and a retired Arizona state Supreme Court justice found the apparent scheme to reimburse at least $46,539 for employees political contributions. The probe also found an apparent conspiracy to conceal the reimbursement scheme from the bowls Board of Directors and state ofcials, according to the news release accompanying the report.

BEAUFORT, S.C. Long before he became Smokin Joe, the future heavyweight champion was known in his South Carolina hometown as Billy Boy a stocky farmers son who honed his devastating left hook on a punching bag made from a flour sack stuffed with corn cobs, rags and Spanish moss. Joe Frazier would make Philadelphia Joe Frazier his adopted home, but his roots ran deep in the sandy soil of the South Carolina coast where he was born in 1944. More than 250 family members and friends gathered Wednesday for a church memorial service near his hometown of Beaufort. He was Joe Frazier to the world, but he was our Uncle Billy, said Dannette Frazier, one of about a dozen of Fraziers nieces and nephews who still live near the 10-acre farm where the boxer was raised. Frazier died Nov. 7 from cancer at age 67. The South Carolina service had none of the celebrity trappings of Fraziers funeral Monday in Philadelphia, where Jesse Jackson delivered the eulogy to a congregation including Muhammad Ali,

UT AD says employees not discriminated against


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. The University of Tennessee has rejected claims by three employees of its womens athletics department who say they were discriminated against because their salaries were lower than those of employees in the mens athletics department with comparable duties. According to university documents obtained by The Associated Press, associate Athletics Director for Womens Sports Medicine Jenny Moshak, Assistant Athletics Director for Womens Strength and Conditioning Heather Mason and Associate Director for Womens Strength and Conditioning Collin Schlosser led the complaint to the UT Ofce of Equity and Diversity in 2010. In the complaint, Moshak, who works directly with womens basketball and oversees employees who work with other womens sports, compared her salary and duties to Director of Mens Sports Medicine Jason McVeigh. At that

time, Moshak earned a base salary of $87,500 while McVeigh, who works directly with the football team and supervises employees who work with other mens sports, made a base salary of $89,048. Plaintiffs hold similar positions and perform comparable, and often more, job responsibilities, but receive lower compensation than employees within the Mens Athletic Department based solely on their sex or afliation with womens athletics, the complaint says. After a yearlong investigation, the ofce determined Moshak, Mason and Schlossers jobs were not similar enough to jobs within the mens department to nd that they were denied equal pay for equal work and that their salaries was not determined by factors related to gender. Multiple attempts to reach Moshak, Mason and Schlosser were unsuccessful. A spokesman for the athletics department declined comment on the case because it was a personnel matter. Knoxville radio station WNML rst reported the discrimination claim, and

the Knoxville News Sentinel first obtained a copy of the ndings. A report by the university said Moshak and McVeighs positions differ for many reasons, including the number of athletes each supervises, the nature and number of injuries involved in their respective sports, their budget responsibilities and the amount of revenue and interest their sports generate. Football overwhelmingly is the top revenue-generating sport in Athletics and the sport that generates the most fan interest, the report says. If the Universitys football team is successful, then the entire Athletics program reaps the monetary benets. If the Universitys football team is unsuccessful even partly because football injuries are not being prevented, diagnosed, treated and rehabilitated successfully, then the entire Athletics program suffers. With no disrespect being intended to Ms. Moshak, Mr. McVeighs position is more important to athletics because of his football-related responsibilities.

STATE/NATION

THE DAILY JOURNAL


The trigger cuts do not require further action by the Legislature. But shortly after the report was issued, some Democratic lawmakers issued statements suggesting the trigger cuts were not inevitable, even though they are mandated by the state budget approved just months ago. Todays announcement by the LAO is indicative, but not determinative of the nal decision on whether the budget triggers will be pulled next month and we must wait until the Department of Finance December forecast, which will have up to date information and certainly may alter the trigger calculation to lessen the level of trigger cuts, Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, said in a statement. State Sen. Ellen Corbett, D-San Leandro, said she was troubled by the prospect of more cuts to schools and colleges, and said the governor and Legislature should do everything we can, to prevent mid-year cuts. School and university ofcials have been paying especially close attention to monthly revenue projections because the trigger cuts will affect them and their students the most. About 40 percent of state funding goes to K-12 schools, and that funding has been cut each year since 2008. The loss of one-time federal stimulus money also resulted in thousands of additional layoffs this year. The analysts report noted that K-12 schools actually are due more money in the scal year that begins on July 1: Payments under Proposition 98, the states minimum funding guarantee for schools, are supposed to rise by $6 billion; and the state must repay schools $2 billion that it took from local property taxes to balance the budget in 2009. Cuts will have to be made elsewhere in the budget if the state makes good on those funding commitments for schools. On Wednesday, California State University trustees voted to increase annual undergraduate tuition to 9 percent, $5,472 to $5,970. The system has more than 400,000 students. If approved, the tuition hike would take effect if the CSU fails to get an additional $138 million it wants from the state. Although the state has faced larger decits in the past, the analyst cautioned that it will get harder for Brown and lawmakers to bridge budget gaps because many easy and one-time xes have already been enacted. The analyst assumed no ination increases for many state programs and put off dealing with long-term obligations such as retirement liabilities for public workers. California and the nation are recovering from the longest and most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression. Californias unemployment rate under 5 percent as recently as 2006 has remained above 11 percent for more than two years. Although the legislative analyst said a doubledip recession was not likely, it did downgrade its forecast for employment growth and housing permits. It projects Californias jobless rate will remain above 10 percent through the middle of 2014 and above 8 percent through 2017.

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
recession in 2007 to $86 billion this year, a decline of more than 16 percent. Lawmakers have been making billions of dollars in cuts each year to cope with plunging tax revenue. The coming year will provide more of the same, according to the analysis released Wednesday. The current budget was based on a combination of spending cuts, fee hikes and projections of higher tax revenue in the months ahead. Republican lawmakers, who opposed tax increases, had warned that the revenue projections were overly optimistic. The Legislative Analysts Ofce report indicates, as predicted, that the budget passed by Democrats with only a majority vote was overly optimistic and based on shaky assumptions, Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, vice chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee, said in a statement. He also noted that state spending is projected to increase by 12 percent in the scal year that will start July 1. It indicates that a lot more needs to be done to get Californias budget under control, and that does not happen through tax increases, he said. The analysts report was one of two revenue projections called for in the state budget. The next will be released Dec. 15 by the governors Department of Finance. The automatic spending cuts referred to as trigger cuts in the Capitol will be based on whichever report contains the higher revenue projections. The analyst projected that revenue in the current scal year will fall $3.7 billion below the $88.4 billion the governor and state lawmakers had desired. Provisions in the budget mean that shortfall will translate into $2 billion of automatic cuts in the weeks ahead. The cuts to be implemented after the rst of the year include $100 million each to the University of California, California State University, developmental services and in-home support for seniors and the disabled. Community college fees would increase $10 per unit, and reductions would be made for child care assistance, library grants and prisons, among other programs. Because revenue is projected to fall short by more than $2 billion, the state would cut public school funding, an amount that will have to be determined by Browns nance director. The state could allow school districts to reduce the school year by up to seven days, from 175 to 168. California had 180 school days before the recession hit. The legislative analysts report said the actual amount of spending to be cut because of the lower revenue projections will be determined by the Department of Finance. The report assumes that the automatic cuts will remain in place for the foreseeable future.

Newt Gingrich defends big contracts with Freddie Mac


By Thomas Beaumont and Pete Yost
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

URBANDALE, Iowa Rising in polls and receiving greater scrutiny, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich found himself on the defensive Wednesday over huge payments he received over the past decade from the mortgage giant Freddie Mac. Gingrich, who now is near the top in polling on the GOP race, said he didnt remember exactly how much he was paid, but a person familiar with the hiring said it was at least

$1.6 million for consulting contracts stretching from 1999 to early 2008. The person spoke on condition of anonymity in order address a personnel matter. Long unpopular among Republicans, federally backed Freddie Mac and its larger sister institution, Fannie Mae, have become targets for criticism stemming from the housing crisis that helped drive the nation deep into recession and then hampered recovery. Gingrich himself criticized Barack Obama in 2008 for accepting contributions from executives of the two companies.

directly from the museums vast collection, focusing primarily on the period from the late 19th century to 1937, including works by Paul Cezanne, Vasily Kandinsky and Van Gogh. The colors are not named or identied as being from a particular painting because they have been taken out of that context, Meyerhoff said. The gallery colors are taken directly from the background walls and xtures in the Guggenheims galleries, a range of neutral tans, greys and whites, but also more vibrant colors including a deep navy and a smoky red. Some were created by Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed the museum on New Yorks Upper East Side. Theres a beige that was the original exterior color of the museum, and a rusty red that is the original and current color of the central elevator. Curators and gallery workers spent months selecting the colors, studying paintings and noticing which colors appeared most often, or were most unique. Then, they had to nd real-life samples so the paint company could develop color formulas to match. Meyerhoff and the Guggenheim staff used Pantone chips, paint decks, magazines. I stopped someone on the subway because of her yellow shirt, Meyerhoff laughed. Then the samples went to Fine Paints of Europe, which replicated the colors by using a spectrometer, which isolates a hue and determines a formula to create it in paint. This is not eye matching. This is not human judgment, said John Lahey, founder and owner of the Woodstock, Vt.-based company. This is technology. But for Meyerhoff, and for homeowners who use the paints, its all about emotion and feelings. Galleries use background colors to play off paintings, either by drawing directly from colors in the works or by creating the feel of a particular time and place. For instance, Meyerhoff uses light and dark browns and pale gray greens to evoke 1930s Europe. The Guggenheim paint collections cost $35 per half liter, or $130 per 2.5-liter can, which is about two-thirds of a gallon. By comparison, a typical gallon of paint sold at most retail stores costs about $27. Lahey said the paint can get as much as 50 percent more coverage than traditional paints. Homeowners may use wall color to enliven a living space, creating a calming atmosphere or one of warmth.

Guggenheim collection paint colors bring art home


By Emily Fredrix
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The calm grayblue sky in an otherwise agitated Vincent Van Gogh painting. The esh of a nude woman as painted by Amedeo Modigliani. Or the vibrant yellows, blues and chartreuse in a Franz Marc geometric masterpiece. Your next wall color could be famous. Or at least, it could share specks of colors seen in pieces on display at one of the worlds most famous art museums, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The museum has chosen 150 colors from its collections and galleries in a new partnership with Fine Paints of Europe, an upscale paint company based in Vermont. Through a meticulous selection and matching process that involved everything from holding up paint chips beside century-old paintings to stopping someone on the subway because of her shirt color, they have developed two distinct collections: one of colors used on gallery walls and another of colors used in paintings. Homeowners are more likely to use paint to create a mood for a room than to display multimilliondollar works of art. But the same principles that museums use in designing galleries apply, said Karen Meyerhoff, managing director for business development at the Guggenheim. They use colors to evoke emotions or theatrics, and to highlight paintings on display. We have specialized expertise and its something we do every day, Meyerhoff said. The 150 colors are striking. The classical collection takes colors

Meyerhoff has some tips on choosing colors for rooms at home:


Use gray to mute the background and put the focus on your objects, whether theyre works of art, or features such as replaces, crown molding or furniture. Pick up a tone for a featured object in the room such as a couch and use a similar tone on the walls. Having the same tone throughout will soften a room. If you have something you want to hide such as bad corners or pipes use dark colors. To make a dramatic statement, paint one wall a strong color, such as a vibrant red or blue. Fine Paints of Europe offers color consultations to customers six days a week by phone.

The classical collection takes colors directly from the museums vast collection,focusing primarily on the period from the late 19th century to 1937,including works by Paul Cezanne,Vasily Kandinsky and Van Gogh.The colors are not named or identied as being from a particular painting because they have been taken out of that context,Meyerhoff said.

A Thanksgiving for garden soil


By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For putting food on our tables, lets give thanks to the soil in our vegetable gardens. One way to do that this Thanksgiving is by readying the soil for next years harvest.

leave the soil rough. The ideal tool for this job is not a rototiller, but a spade or digging fork. Freezing and thawing in the next few months will weaken the large clumps left after rough digging. Come spring, merely tickling the clumps with a garden rake will break them apart to create a nice seedbed.

WEED NOW, PLAY LATER


Start by weeding. No need to recoil at the mere thought of weeding, as you might have done in summer. Weeding this time of year can be quite enjoyable because the weather is too cool and the sun too low for new weeds to quickly replace pulled ones. Fall weeding is a relatively leisurely activity, a good excuse for fresh air and exercise. If youre going to till to rid the garden of weeds, you could even do that now. Dont till as you would in spring, though, reducing the soil to pebble-size bits in which to snuggle seeds. That would result in a sea of spring mud. Instead, till just enough to uproot weeds and

TOO ACIDIC OR ALKALINE?


Because you took nutrients from the soil when you harvested vegetables, you also must feed it. Before you do that, though, limestone might be needed to lower soil acidity. Most soils in the eastern half of the country naturally become more acidic over time. Sulfur, a naturally mined mineral, can be used where soils are too alkaline, often the case in the western half of the country. Maintaining correct acidity (or its converse, alkalinity) is important because if its out of kilter, plants cannot use certain nutrients even if they are there in the soil.

If you have a very green thumb and have shown it over the years by giving your garden plenty of compost an inch or more each year over all planted areas you can forget about having to fertilize.

Crafts: Five speedy, simple,DIY holiday gifts


By Jennifer Forker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The holidays can pose a challenge for crafters: What to make for friends and relatives that is useful, attractive and fast to churn out? Speed and simplicity are key this time of year. These ve projects capture the imagination and offer ample opportunity for improvising; put your creative twist on any of them for memorable gifts.

FELT SOAP
The rst time Leah Adams of Seattle gave out felt soap for the holidays, one of her relatives cut the felt away, taking it for elaborate packaging. It wasnt. The colorful felting is slightly abrasive and holds suds well. Five years later, Adams sells hundreds of felt soaps, including at her Etsy online shop, kneek, or SpiderFelt. But she always includes a tag that warns against cutting away the felt. The whole family, including children as young as 4, can join in felting soap, she says. Adams recommends viewing her Felt Soap Tutorial on YouTube for complete instructions, but its basically wrapping a 2-ounce bar of soap in wool roving, adding water, and then gently agitating the wool until it shrinks tightly around the soap. Presto. Not all wool will work; some is too coarse. Adams recommends sheeps wool, in particular Corriedale and Merino, which is ner but more costly.

Its a beautiful combination of old and new, says Occhipinti. She explains how to customize the project in her book The Repurposed Library (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2011): Start with an orphaned hardcover book whose title or cover art match the gift recipients interests and is large enough to comfortably t the device. Tear out the inside pages, saving them for another project. Cut a piece of decorative paper to t the spines height and width, adding 1/2 inch to the width. Glue that in; allow it to dry. Apply three small Velcro dots to the back of the electronic device two at the top, one at the bottom. Attach the hook mates to each piece of Velcro, then remove the paper backing and center the device on the inside back cover of the old book, pressing to secure the Velcro to the back cover. Add a bookplate or library pocket to the inside front cover to personalize the gift.

FELTED MITTENS
The colorful felting on felt soap is slightly abrasive and holds suds well.

E-READER COVER
Lisa Occhipinti of Venice, Calif., is a painter and sculptor who tears apart old books, incorporating pages into her ne art but also devising ingenious everyday sculptural uses, from mobiles and mirrors to wreaths and the Kindle Keeper. Whats the point of living with (a book) if

youre not going to live with it actively? asks Occhipinti. She nds old books at thrift stores and garage sales, preferring linen covers embossed or imprinted with an illustration. The Kindle Keeper can be fashioned for any electronic tablet, protecting the device while returning the feel of a good book to the ereading experience.

Scavenging for this craft is half the fun: Dig through unworn sweaters at home or at a local thrift store. They dont have to be wool, but wool is warmer, according to Stefanie Girard, the Burbank, Calif., author of Sweater Surgery (Quarry Books, 2008). A wool sweater needs to be washed in hot water (with a cold rinse) with laundry detergent and a clean towel, then dried at to block

SIMPLE BEADED JEWELRY
The 2011 Martha Stewart Holiday Handbook shares instructions for how to make delicate, beaded necklaces with minimal parts. Its simplicity is the beauty of this project, says Marci McGoldrick, editorial director of Holiday & Crafts for Martha Stewart Living. A ribbon necklace is trendy. A lot of jewelry on the market now uses ribbon instead of chain, or theres fabric incorporated into it, says McGoldrick. Using 20 inches of 5mm-wide ribbon and a beading needle, string assorted beads, from large to seed beads. Attach a clasp and a connector to the ribbon at each end, knotting them into place. Another necklace: For a continuous strand of beads, use 20 inches of silk beading cord. Attach a connector to the end of the cord and guards like a public comment period, input from city committees and at least a four-fths majority to approve the naming of a facility. Additionally, Holober noted the San Mateo County policy requires a one-year gap between when a person leaves an elected post or dies before being eligible for such an honor. The simple naming policy proposed used portions of similar resolutions in place with San Mateo County and South San Francisco, said City Clerk Angela Louis. It allowed for city-owned facilities to be named and that any councilmember could nominate an individual for such an honor. Individuals should be coning you something this Thanksgiving perhaps youre eating some homegrown squash, frozen peppers, corn, fresh lettuces or radishes. As with the test for acidity, a soil nutrient test can tell you how much and what kinds of fertilizers are needed. Or you could play the averages and apply whats probably, rather than exactly, needed. If you have a very green thumb and have shown it over the years by giving your garden plenty of compost an inch or more each year over all planted areas you can forget about having to fertilize. That amount of comthread with beads. At the midpoint, thread two jingle bells, and then continue beading. Afx the clasp to the other end by knotting it.

Jodi Kahn of Larchmont, N.Y., scans and prints wrapping-paper patterns onto T-shirt transfer paper and irons it onto white hand towels for a favorite hostess gift. She recommends using a pattern with a white background. It looks incredibly professional. It really looks like you got it printed, she says. The same can be done with nearly anything: wallpaper, fabric, photos, maps, even items scavenged from a hardware store, says Kahn, who includes this project in her book Simply Sublime Gifts (Potter Craft, 2010). Once the supplies are collected, its a half hour to complete a batch of gifts. It is a really great gift for the holidays, just to whip up a few of them to have on hand, says Kahn. go to someone currently serving but was wary of waiting a year. Seto also wanted to know if there was a process for removing a name, adding a football eld was once named after O.J. Simpson. It was later removed. Councilwoman Gina Papan was open to selling space for naming but wanted it to be a balance. Papan was also comfortable recognizing Quigg now and even suggested considering naming the council chambers after him instead. Colapietro disagreed calling the council chambers an important place for the residents which should not bear the name of any individual. about two-tenths of a pound per hundred square feet of this food, which might be supplied by any nitrogen fertilizer. My favorite nitrogen fertilizer is soybean meal. With 7 percent nitrogen, soybean meal spread at about 3 pounds per hundred square feet provides the needed two-tenths of a pound of actual nitrogen. Advantages of soybean meal over chemical fertilizers are: It does not wash out of the soil through winter; it is released slowly into the soil through summer, so does not need to be reapplied until next year at this time; and its cheap.

Make a mitten pattern tracing your own hand, adding 1/2 inch all the way around, larger or smaller depending on a gift recipients hand size. Repeat, and cut out both tracings. Embellish the top side of the mitten, if desired, then machine sew it to the other tracing, right sides together. Clip a small slit at the inside of each thumb point, without cutting the stitching, to alleviate bulk before turning the mittens right sides out.

EMBELLISHED T-SHIRTS,TOWELS,TOTES
Finally, there are many ways to embellish and personalize a T-shirt; hand or kitchen towels; or a tote. McGoldrick suggests taking a prole photo of a beloved pet, enlarging it and cutting it out of a fabric that wont fray, such as ultrasuede. Attach the silhouette and a twill-tape collar and leash to a tote with craft glue; sew them to a T-shirt or towel. H. Camille Smith, senior decorating and handmade editor at HGTV.com, says a towel or T-shirt also can be embellished with ironon decals and transfers. Or cut letters or designs out of fabric and sew them on. Add sidered for making exceptional contributions to the city including one or more of the following: public services as an elected ofcial; public service as a community volunteer; nancial gifts; and contributions to foundations/organizations which directly support city activities and facilities, according to the report.

Im open to a Microsoft building for a dollar amount, Seto said. He agreed though, that the honor shouldnt post will supply everything your plants need to grow next year, not only the essential big three nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium emblazoned on fertilizer bags, but also a smorgasbord of other foods that plants need in lesser amounts.

The only food for which your soil might be hungry then would probably be nitrogen. The average vegetable garden wants

building as protesters dispersed and the situation quieted. The demonstration was largely driven by members of ReFund California, a coalition of activist and student groups and labor unions seeking to make big banks and wealthy individuals pay higher taxes to help fund public education. Turnage said he understood protesters concerns. I understand why people are frustrated, but a lot of this energy is misplaced, Turnage said. It needs to be directed at people who have decision-making power over taxes. Several trustees said increasing tuition was letting the state Legislature off the hook of funding the 412,000-student system. We should not be complicit in offering them a way out, said trustee Bernadette Cheyne. But others noted that although they did not want to raise tuition, the system had to remain scally solvent. Its predictable the Legislature wont fund us, said trustee Roberta Achtenberg. We have an institution to run. It is the systems ninth tuition increase in nine years. With campus fees added in, the total cost for undergraduates will be more than $7,000 for the full year. Elaine Nadalin, a sociology student at CSU Long Beach, was among students opposing the hike. Students are the least able to subsidize these increases. Some of us will be barred from accessing higher education, said Nadalin, a member of the group Students for a Quality Education. International studies student Michelle Woody said the quality of CSU education was at stake. Its an attack on our institution, she said. What will our degrees be worth in a couple years? Our pieces of paper will be just that. Gene Doherty, a media contact for Occupy San Francisco, said the group was surprised by the early morning raid on the encampment. Because of this mornings meeting, we thought that the city would be acting in good faith, Doherty said. Police once again broke up the Occupy encampment in San Diego that ofcials said posed a growing problem with violence and mounting trash. Nine people were arrested and one other was cited and released during the 2 a.m. raid. As some encampments came down, the tent city at UC Berkeley remained after a day of activism against big banks and education cuts culminated with about 4,000 people rallying Tuesday night at a speech by former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich. Occupy Cals general assembly voted to invite the universitys chancellor and Board of Regents to a debate in early December and to send the educational ofcials a list of demands, including a tuition rollback to 2009 levels. They also voted in favor of rebuilding their encampment despite earlier violence on Nov. 9, when police jabbed students with batons and arrested 40 people as the university sought to uphold the campus ban on camping. Alyssa Kies, a 20-year-old geography major, said there was a dance party and lots of discussion throughout the night on the UC Berkeley plaza. She said she wasnt worried about police action because the political climate was too precarious for any sort of violence to be accepted. intent on killing three former instructors including Spalding, who he blamed for ruining his life by pushing school work and participation. He was armed with a chain saw hidden in a guitar case, a vest full of homemade pipe bombs, a 10-inch sword and a face shield to protect him from blood splatter. He left in his bedroom at home a manifesto of his plan and videos of his making and testing the bombs. On campus, Youshock was unable to start the chain saw and exploded two bombs that injured no one before being tackled by a teacher and held until police arrived.

TUITION

who arrived by bus to protest the tuition hike, said CSU spokeswoman Claudia Keith. Two other CSU police ofcers suffered minor injuries. The chaos caused the meeting to be recessed and reconvened later in a smaller conference room, where the 9-6 vote was taken on the tuition increase as police and protesters tussled outside. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who sits on the board and spoke adamantly against the tuition hike, later called the action alarming because the vote was taken out of public view. He called on the board to take another vote in the open at its December meeting. Keith said the vote was proper. Under state law, when public meetings are disrupted to the point where they cannot continue, they can be reconvened without public notice, she said. The security situation got out of hand, said Assistant Chancellor Robert Turnage. There was a legitimate concern about security for many people. The hike will raise tuition at the 23campus system by $498, bringing the annual bill to $5,970. CSUs funding has been slashed by $650 million over the past two years, causing tuition to rise by 23 percent and enrollment to be slashed by 10,000 students. The University of California system is in similar financial straits. On Wednesday, a group of about 75 student leaders and a few administrators from the University of California Berkeley and Davis visited Sacramento to lobby lawmakers to restore funding for higher education.

The CSU chaos broke out when some two dozen protesters refused to stop speaking at the end of the public comment session. The group chanted we are the 99 percent and held up posters reading make banks pay. During the meeting, they had heckled trustees who voiced support for the tuition hike and loudly cheered those who said they did not back it. CSU ofcers herded the unruly group out of the building, where they joined another group of protesters who were beating drums and chanting. Ofcers tried to close the glass doors to prevent protesters from entering, which caused demonstrators to hang on to the handles to keep them open. A shoving scufe erupted, and ofcers used pepper spray, according to witnesses. Several people tumbled through the doors, where they were quickly handcuffed with plastic ties and taken into custody. When ofcers again tried to close the glass doors, the struggle resumed, causing the glass to buckle and shatter. Long Beach police arrived in riot gear and formed a phalanx in front of the ident at UC Davis, called on lawmakers to be more courageous, more aggressive and more thoughtful. Come to our campuses and see how your actions affect us, he said. I want you all to tell us why prisons deserve more spending than universities. University of California President Mark Yudof issued a statement of support for the students passion and conviction in support of public higher education. We also suffer together the strains caused by what has been a long pattern of state disinvestment in the University of California, he said. Protesters in San Francisco marched through downtown in a demonstration partly organized by ReFund California, a coalition of student groups and university employee unions. The group bused in protesters from UC Berkeley, the University of California, Merced and other schools to join Occupy San Francisco activists as they marched to the bank and the state building. The marches in support of higher education came as police in San Francisco and San Diego cleared encampments in those cities, citing public health and safety concerns. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee met with Occupy SF activists to let them know an expansion of their camp would not be tolerated. I did give the order to our police chief this morning that there cannot be an expansion of what were perceiving to be a health hazard in the city, Lee said after the meeting. McDougall did not dispute any of those amounts. The restitution request is more a matter of principal that actual repayment as Youshock is currently committed to a state mental hospital and, if ever released, will be sent to prison for more than 24 years. In March, a jury convicted Youshock of six felonies, including the attempted murder of chemistry teacher Meghan Spalding but he was later found insane. Doctors testied he is likely schizophrenic. Early on Aug. 24, 2009, Youshock, then 17, arrived at Hillsdale High School

entrances and exits. Deputy Police Chief Kevin Cashman said 80 arrests were expected for trespassing. Suspects were taken to jail, cited and released. Elsewhere, students and anti-Wall Street activists settled into a new encampment at the University of California, Berkeley, and visited the state Capitol to demand the restoration of funding for higher education. At Berkeley, police watched over about two dozen tents that were pitched Tuesday night on a student plaza despite a campus policy that forbids camping. Police warned that protesters could be arrested if they didnt leave. Seth Weinberg, a 20-year-old cognitive science major, said he slept in a tent on Sproul Plaza to press the university to lobby for more public education funding. There should be a way for anyone who wants to go to college if they choose to, Weinberg said. What the university doesnt understand is that we are not camping out. This is a constant protest. In Sacramento, about 75 student leaders and a few administrators from UC Berkeley and the University of California, Davis lobbied lawmakers and the governor to allocate more money to education.

U.S.sets training in Australia


By Ben Feller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CANBERRA, Australia Signaling a determination to counter a rising China, President Barack Obama vowed Thursday to expand U.S. inuence in the Asia-Pacic region and project power and deter threats to peace in that part of the world even as he reduces defense spending and winds down two wars. The United States is a Pacic power, and we are here to stay, he declared in a speech to the Australian Parliament, sending an unmistakable message to Beijing. Obama addressed the Parliament a day after announcing a commitment to send military aircraft and up to 2,500 Marines to northern Australia, a modest though visible response to a growing China, by far the biggest and most powerful

As President,Ive therefore made a deliberate and strategic decision-as a Pacic nation,the United States will play a larger and long-term role in shaping this region and its future,by upholding core principles and in close partnership with allies and friends.

country in the region. He said a U.S. presence in the Asia-Pacic region is a top priority of his administration and stressed that any reductions in U.S. defense spending will not come at the expense of that goal. As President, Ive therefore made a deliberate and strategic decision-as a Pacic nation, the United States will play a larger and longterm role in shaping this region and its future, by upholding core princi-

ples and in close partnership with allies and friends, he said. For Obama, the region represents both a security challenge and an economic opportunity. Speaking in broad geopolitical terms, the president asserted: With most of the worlds nuclear powers and some half of humanity, Asia will largely dene whether the century ahead will be marked by conict or cooperation, needless suffering or human progress.

One dead, several hurt as storm pounds the Southeast
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. A strong storm system that produced several possible tornadoes hit the Southeast on Wednesday, damaging dozens of homes and buildings. At least one person was killed and more than a dozen others were injured. Suspected tornadoes were reported in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and thousands of people were without power as trees and power lines were downed. In eastern Alabama, a suspected twister splintered trees and demolished mobile homes at a pair of housing parks near the Auburn University campus.

Syria faces army defectors and worldwide isolation


By Elizabeth A. Kennedy and Paul Schemm
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A man wanted in an investigation of shots red near the White House was arrested Wednesday in Pennsylvania, a day after agents discovered two bullets had struck the executive mansion while President Barack Obama was away, the U.S. Secret Service said. The Secret Service said it discovered Tuesday that the two bullets had hit the White House, one apparently cracking a window on the level of the presidents living quarters, while Obama and his wife Michelle

were on a trip to California and Hawaii. On Friday, authorities found an abandoned vehicle with an assault rifle inside, which led Oscar Ortega- authorities to disclose they Hernandez had linked Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez to the reported gunre. A U.S. Park Police crime bulletin issued before Ortegas arrest said he is known to have mental health issues.

BEIRUT Syrias president faced a growing challenge to his iron rule from home and abroad Wednesday, with renegade troops launching their most daring attack yet on the military and world leaders looking at possibilities for a regime without Bashar Assad. France recalled its ambassador to Damascus in the wake of recent attacks against diplomatic missions and increasing violence stemming from the 8-month-old uprising. French Foreign Minister Alain

Juppe warned that the vise is tightening around Assad, and a government spokeswoman said Paris is working with the Syrian opposition to nd an alternative to the regime. The move comes as the 22-member Arab League formally suspended Damascus over the crackdown, which the U.N. estimates has killed more than 3,500 people, and threatened economic sanctions if the regime continues to violate an Arabbrokered peace plan. The foreign ministers also gave the Syrian government three days to respond to an Arab peace plan that involves sending an Arab League delegation to monitor compliance.
