Union representatives ask Burlingame officials to reconsider compensation cuts

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Employees offer a different view of city finances

while it faces an uncertain financial future. Burlingame employees in two unions A m e r i c a n Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 829 and 2190 had the chance during a special meeting Tuesday to publicly address the City Council about ongoing contract negotiations in which the city is requesting a 10 percent reduction in total compensation. Employees say the proposed cuts will be too much to bear for those who are the lowest paid. In addition, union of cials pointed to the citys recent revenue boost as a sign the current budget is too conservative. City of cials, on the other hand, noted unfunded liabilities for employees and capital projects require a revenue stream. Were asking [that you] re-look at the data, said AFSCME 2190 President Rich Stephens. Were not asking for anything else. Stephens added employees enjoy and take pride in working for Burlingame but household costs continue to rise. Accepting the citys proposal would have dire effects for people in these two groups, Stephens said.
Burlingame employees are asking city of cials to rethink a proposed reduction in total compensation because their personal costs are rising and its getting harder to make ends meet while elected of cials contend the request is warranted

Grading students used to be easy as A, B, C and a few other letters but adding numbers into the mix created a rift in protocol at middle schools in the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District. It is that situation that district of cials hope to rectify by the 2014-15 school year. San Mateo-Foster City began using a new system of report cards in middle schools ranking a students mastery of certain skills at 1, 2, 3 or 4 instead of A, B, C, D or F in the 2008-09 school year. During
that year, three schools Abbott, Borel and Bowditch middle schools started using a hybrid of numbers and letters after a large number of parents and teachers shared frustrations. THE Bayside S.T.E.M. ACADEMY, on the other hand, opted to use only numbers. The twocard system remained this year, continuing to cause confusion. On Thursday, the board discussed the process for revising the cards to create a districtwide report card. Thursdays proposal, which is still being finalized, has Abbott, Bayside, Bowditch and Borel using
Teaching culture through dance

Vishwa Shanthi Dance Academy promotes peace through performing arts

Vishwa Shanthi Dance Academy isnt just about teaching dance to people of all ages. Its about teaching and immersing students in Indian culture the way that generations have done so in the past. For artistic director and founder, Shreelata Suresh, the academy is a means of continuing this practiced tradition stateside and allowing new generations of young Indian girls
and boys the opportunity to explore and make their culture their own. It is not just entertainment, Suresh said. It has a goal. Vishwa Shanthi Dance Academy teaches students the art of Bharatha Natyam a classical Indian dance that mixes storytelling, rhythm and music while at the same time passing down the histories of Indian culture. Its about bringing spirituality back into dance, Suresh said. The academys most recent per-
formance a bene t for the Shiva Murugan Temple in Concord Uthpala, brought that sense of spirituality to life on stage. Uthpala, which means lotus, was chosen as the theme by Suresh because it symbolized purity and is connected with the divine. I have done many performances that deal with creation and the duality of how we are created and what we do in life, Suresh said.

SACRAMENTO Californias unemployment rate fell slightly to 11.7 percent in October from 11.9 percent a month earlier as the state added nearly 26,000 jobs in areas including professional and business services, education and health services, the state Employment

VALLEJO Authorities identied a suspect arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a Vallejo police ofcer as residents and city ofcials on Friday mourned the ofcers death. Henry Albert Smith, 37, of Faireld, is being held on charges of bank robbery and murder for the slaying of Vallejo police Ofcer Jim Capoot, a 19-year veteran of the force, said Sgt. Jeff Bassett. Capoot, 43, was pronounced dead at a hospital about an hour after the shooting. He did not discharge his weapon, according to Bassett. Bassett, who held back tears during a news conference Friday, said Smith was wearing a Halloween mask during the crime. Smith was subdued with a stun gun during the arrest and had a handgun in his possession, Bassett said. Its tough for many of us, especially (Capoots) family. Nobody is hurting more than them, Bassett said. He was a guy who was loved by everybody, he said of Capoot. There is nobody at
the police department who is not deeply affected by this. The confrontation began when Capoot spotted an SUV wanted in a robbery at a Bank of America, according to police. He apparently forced Henry Smith the SUV to spin out of control before chasing Smith into a backyard, Bassett said. Other ofcers arriving at the scene reported hearing gunshots before nding Capoot wounded in the backyard. Capoot did not discharge his weapon, Bassett said. After the shooting, ofcers from surrounding communities, the California Highway Patrol and SWAT teams searched neighborhoods into the night looking for the possible second suspect. Capoot, a married father of three who volunteered as coach of the girls basketball team at Vallejo High School, served as a motorcycle officer, driving and use-of-force
instructor and on the SWAT team, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He received two medals of courage, two life-saving medals and other departmental commendations. People left owers and candles at a makeshift Jim Capoot memorial outside the front doors of the police departments headquarters on Thursday night. Ofcer Capoot made the ultimate sacrice today to protect the community he served for almost two decades, Gov. Jerry Brown said. His bravery, commitment and seless service will not be forgotten. Capoots death is the rst slaying of a Vallejo ofcer since Jeffrey Azuar was killed on April 12, 2000, while trying to arrest a suspect on an outstanding warrant, The TimesHerald reported. Capoot was the fourth Vallejo ofcer killed in the line of the duty in the citys 155-year history.

Some BART trains to get vinyl seats

OAKLAND Some Bay Area Rapid Transit trains will soon have new seats. The agencys Board of Directors awarded a contract on Thursday to replace some of the blue wool seats with vinyl seats. Many riders have complained that the existing seats are dirty. BART spends about $600,000 a year dry-cleaning and repairing them. BART ofcials say the vinyl material in the new seats is less likely to tear or scratch. The new seats also have a grafti-resistant coating
and are easier to clean. They will start appearing on trains between April and July. One hundred cars are slated to get the seats at a cost of about $1.9 million.

S.F.declares Occupy camp a public health nuisance

SAN FRANCISCO San Franciscos public health department has declared the Occupy San Francisco encampment in Justin Herman Plaza a public health nuisance. The declaration came on Thursday, though city authorities so far are allowing the demonstrators to remain in the plaza. Barbara Garcia, head of the citys public health department, said the grassy area being
used by the campers has been found to contain feces and have inadequate toilet facilities. Conditions for the spread of respiratory illnesses have also been present. Mayor Ed Lee had given the protesters until 4 p.m. on Thursday to reduce the number of tents at the camp to no more than 100 from the 200 or so there this week. But there were still more than 100 tents there after the deadline. Protesters feared that they would be evicted overnight, but the camp was not raided.

Cal State pressed to have second vote on tuition hike

By Michael R. Blood
LOS ANGELES California State University faced increased pressure Friday to vote again on a 9 percent tuition boost that was approved at a closed-door meeting that might have sidestepped open-government laws. Pat Gantt, head of the 16,000-member CSU Employees Union, urged university trustees to prevent a possible legal challenge by conducting the vote again, while Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom asked administrators to reschedule the vote or risk lingering questions about its legitimacy. The spirit of open deliberations has been marred, Newsom wrote to Chancellor Charles Reed and Board of Trustees Chairman Herbert Carter. Newsom sits on the board. CSU spokeswoman Claudia Keith says its unclear if the trustees will reschedule or recon-
sider the vote. Trustees meeting in Long Beach on Wednesday retreated behind closed doors to vote on the closely watched tuition boost after a chaotic meeting in which police clashed with demonstrators. Trustees at the reconvened meeting were assured by school attorney Christine Helwick that members of the media were in the room to witness the vote, but she told the Associated Press Thursday she was mistaken, opening questions about whether the proceedings complied with open-meeting laws. Gantt said trustees can prevent a possible legal challenge by conducting the vote again, and doing so would be cheaper than ending up in court. During the raucous meeting Wednesday, he said he was told by a police ofcer the session was over and to leave, when in fact the trustees were meeting behind closed doors.
cuss calling a public hearing Jan. 17 to consider a maximum 25 percent increase in solid waste and recycling rates for 2012. Mailings of the 2012 notice will inform rate payers of the councils intent to adjust the rate, which could be at a lower rate but could be no higher than 25 percent, according to a staff report by Finance Director Jesus Nava. The notice will be mailed by Recology San Mateo by Dec. 1. The increase is due to a 10 percent increase in the revenue requirements to cover the cost of service; a 10 percent increase due to underproduction of revenue in 2011; and a 5 percent increase to cover variations in service subscriptions, Nava wrote. If written protests are presented by a majority of the affected ratepayers prior to the close of the public hearing, then the council may not increase the rates. Those interested in ling a protest must send a letter in a sealed envelope to 2011 Solid Waste Rates, City Clerk, City of Burlingame, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, CA 94010. Letters must be received by 5 p.m. Jan. 17. The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 21 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.

Obituary
William Dom Sciallo
William Dom Sciallo, born May 15, 1946, died Nov. 5, 2011 at the Palo Alto VA hospital after a long wait for a liver transplant that never came. He was a resident of San Mateo. A standout high school track athlete and member of the Bridgeport (Conn.) 1969 NCAA championship team, Bill was drafted and served in Vietnam, where he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for valor and two Purple Hearts. The second Purple Heart was received in an incident that changed but which he didnt allow to dene his remaining life. Bill lost his right leg and severely damaged his remaining leg. In the process of saving his life, he received blood that was tainted with hepatitis-C. Upon his return and retirement from the Army, Bill married Paula who became his caregiver for the next 41 years. Bill retired from the San Mateo County School organization after 31 years, where he was known for his ability to draw out severely handicapped students and for the many eld trips he organized for his special education students. The hepatitis-C he contracted in Vietnam began to take its toll 15 years ago. Bill was on the liver transplant list for more than 13 years but never managed to get what would have saved his life, since so few livers are donated. Throughout that process and with the extraordinary help of Paula, Bill managed to maintain a positive outlook. Bill is survived by his wife Paula as well as his many nieces and nephews and all of their surrogate children and grandchildren. Bill and Paula Sciallo wish to acknowledge the excellent care received at the VA facilities, especially Menlo Park where he spent most of the last year of his life. In remembrance of Bill, please consider becoming an organ donor. Its easy to register and you could save a life like Bills: www.donatelifecalifornia.org.

Iceless skating rink opens for holiday season
Even if the ground never freezes over in Redwood City this holiday season, residents will be able to lace up skates and glide around outside thanks to a skating rink on Courthouse Square that opened 2 p.m. Friday. Holiday Skating on the Square employs technology similar to what is used on cruise ships, at malls and in some ice skating shows. In place of actual ice, the skating rink uses a synthetic that performs like regular ice. According to the city, the synthetic is more environmentally friendly than traditional ice because the plastic polymer it employs requires no machinery or power to keep it in skateable condition. Up to 100 people can skate on the 60-by-67foot rink at one time. The rink will be open between Friday and Jan. 16, 2012. Tickets can be purchased in advance by visiting the citys events page at www.redwoodcity.org/events or just before skating in person at the kiosk on Courthouse Square. Prices vary between $10 and $12 depending on the day and time. The cost includes approximately 90 minutes of skating and includes a skate rental.

Deficit gridlock looming and supercommittee deadlocked

By David Espo and Andrew Taylor
Local briefs
ately sentenced in August to 30 days jail and two years probation after pleading no contest to one misdemeanor count of writing checks for insufcient funds. However, he was told repayment by mid-December would keep him from having to serve any jail time. On Friday, he was also ordered to pay restitution of $4,000 to the band, $5,383 to two others and an undetermined amount to a third woman. If he does not comply, Mauskopf must surrender Jan. 14. Mauskopf owned Beverly Hills-based Perry Mann Productions which produced the 2009 ball. Mauskopf reportedly wrote two $5,000 checks to the manager of the band Missing Persons but both bounced. At the time, his accounts were already $12,000 in the red, prosecutors said. Mauskopf also used a fake credit card to pay $908.88 in hotel bills for the band, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. He was also accused of writing three bad checks to cover a $4,500 bill for emergency medical services at the event. Mauskopf is free from custody on a $50,000 bail bond.
WASHINGTON Deadline nearing, the deficit-reduction talks in Congress sank toward gridlock Friday after supercommittee Democrats rejected a late Republican offer that included next-to-nothing in new tax revenue. Each side maneuvered to blame the other for a looming stalemate. The panel faces a deadline of next Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, and lawmakers on both sides stressed they were ready to meet through the weekend in a lastditch search for compromise. But there was little indication after a day of closed-door meetings that a breakthrough was likely, both Democrats and Republicans emphasizing long-held political positions. Where the divide is right now is over taxes, and whether the wealthiest Americans should share in the sacrices, said Washington Sen. Patty Murray, the Democratic co-chair of the panel. But Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, said Republicans had offered a balanced, bipartisan plan - the fact that it was rejected makes it clear that Washington Democrats wont cut a dime in government spending without job-killing tax hikes.
While prospects for a deal faded, House Democrats checked a Republican attempt to pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. The vote was 261-165, or 23 shy of the two-thirds majority required. GOP lawmakers voted overwhelmingly in favor, while Democrats generally opposed it, sealing its doom. The vote on a noisy House oor contrasted to the secretive proceedings inside the supercommittee, a panel that projected optimism when it began its quest for a decit deal late last summer but has yet to come to any significant compromise. Republicans disclosed during the day they had outlined an offer on Thursday for about $543 billion in spending cuts leaving Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security untouched and $3 billion in higher tax revenue. Most if not all of the recommended savings were items that Democrats have agreed to in earlier talks, but only, party ofcials said, on condition they part of a larger deal in which Republicans agreed to additional tax increases. Democrats have long demanded that Republicans agree to signicant amounts of higher taxes on the wealthy as part of any deal, and they quickly rejected the offer, according to ofcials in both parties.
Six arrested for tagging billboards near Highway 101

Six people were arrested for allegedly spraying grafti on six billboards near a stretch of Highway 101 in Redwood City on Wednesday, California Highway Patrol ofcials said. CHP ofcers from the Redwood City area saw four people tagging billboards near the eastside of Highway 101 between Whipple Avenue and Holly Street around 9:15 p.m. Wednesday, CHP ofcials said. Ofcers surrounded the suspected four taggers, who ran and hid into the nearby brush. They were arrested minutes later and two juveniles were also found in a getaway vehicle at the north end of a bicycle path that runs along the highway, CHP ofcials said. The group consisted of 18- and 19-year-olds and the two juveniles. The names of the adult suspects were not immediately available. Additional law enforcement agencies were called to assist including members from the Redwood City Police Department, the San Mateo Gang Task Force and additional CHP units.
Judge mulls whether to curtail pumping and mowing at Sharp Park Golf Course
A federal judge in San Francisco heard arguments Friday but deferred ruling on a bid by six conservation groups for a preliminary injunction that would limit pumping and mowing activities at the Sharp Park Golf Course in Pacica. The golf course covers part of the 417-acre Sharp Park in Pacica. The park is owned by the city of San Francisco, which has operated it as an 18-hole public golf course since it opened in 1932. The environmental groups claim maintenance activities at the golf course harm two imperiled species: the San Francisco garter snake, which is listed as an endangered species, and the California red-legged frog, a threatened species. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston took the case under submission after hearing arguments and did not say when she will rule. The groups seeking an injunction include the Wild Equity Institute, the Sierra Club and the National Parks Conservation Association. They claim that pumping at Horse Stable Pond in the park causes frog egg masses and tadpoles to be stranded and dried, and that grass mowing and the use of motorized golf carts kills garter snakes. Lawyers for the city maintain that San Francisco is taking responsible measures to protect the two species and that a ban on pumping would destroy the golf course while not helping the frog.
House says no mandating balanced federal budget

By Jim Abrams
WASHINGTON Rejecting the idea Congress cant control its spending impulses, the House turned back a Republican proposal Friday to amend the Constitution to dam the rising ood of federal red ink. Democrats and a few GOP lawmakers said damage from the balanced-budget mandate would outweigh any benets. The rst House vote in 16 years on making federal decits unconstitutional came as the
separate bipartisan supercommittee appeared to be sputtering in its attempt to nd at least $1.2 trillion in decit reductions to head off major automatic cuts. The lead Republican on that panel said members were painfully, painfully aware of its Wednesday deadline for action and would work through the weekend. The House voted 261-165 in favor of the measure to require annual balanced budgets, but that was 23 short of the two-thirds majority needed to advance a constitutional amendment.

Letters to the editor

Tzifas should be named to San Carlos school board
Editor, As I read the article, San Carlos board to discuss vacancies, in the Nov. 15 issue of the Daily Journal, I could not help but think that the two school board members that won election to other offices the night of the election will resign their school board positions, leaving four open seats. Peter Tzifas would have rightfully won one of those seats, as he took third place, with three candidates running for four open seats. I therefore conclude that Peter Tzifas should be appointed to one of those vacant seats, as he rightfully gained the support of many parents and voters in San Carlos and would have rightfully won had the others resigned. American taxpayer dollars and collapse the economy. They were willfully assisted by all branches of our government, for politicians cannot get elected easily in our television sound bite culture without corporate dollars. Both givers and receivers know this. Therefore, seeking economic justice from legislators may not, and in all likelihood will not work. The U.S. Supreme Court is already under corporate control, just note its decision in the Citizens United case. The only way to expose the injustice done to all of us is to go to the door steps of those who caused it and demand justice. This is why people from all walks of life, such as doctors, engineers, lawyers, students, veterans, young, old, men, women, even some former Wall Street employees, are participating in the protest. As people become more aware, they will join in millions. Legislators will wake up to the new reality and then justice will follow. Those who wish to criticize must read Howard Zinns A peoples history of United States to understand how small, disorganized movements eventually overthrew long kept tyrannical rules. al policies have bankrupted the state.

Limiting big business and labor in politics

Editor, Although I appreciate Jack Hickeys response to my opinion letter Nowhere else to turn published in the Nov. 13 edition of the Daily Journal, his comments and the title of his letter Teachers Fault Union published in the Nov. 16 edition is biased and uninformed. Hickey and I would both agree that union influence through political donations and political lobbying needs to end. However, he mentioned nothing regarding corporate influence on politics needing to end as well. Im not sure why. It doesnt take much research to find that political contributions from organized labor are a small fraction compared to those from big business. Furthermore, the National Education Association is at the bottom of the labor contribution list. Extracting my half-sentence quote as an illustration of teachers faulting unions is irresponsible of Mr. Hickey. The California Teachers Association is in open support of the Occupy Movement for many reasons. Mr. Hickey also sites Proposition 75, which aimed to limit campaign funding from organized labor. I voted against that proposition for one simple reason: it did not include limiting big business contributions as well. Until there is legislation that targets undue political influence from both labor and big business, there will always be an uneven playing field that we the 99 percent will never be allowed onto.

A new Christmas tradition

Editor, A new Christmas tradition is born. The old tradition was to buy your friend a gift made in China, wrap it in colorful wrapping paper made in China with a huge red bow made in China and place it under the Christmas tree. The new tradition is to purchase a gift certificate for some needed local service or product and place it in an American-made envelope for under the tree. Many local businesses like restaurants, beauty shops, car washes, gymnasiums, book stores, repair shops, carpenter shops, chiropractors and even dentists, who have never even thought of doing work by gift certificate may consider it, if you ask them. The idea of this came out of a few Tea Party patriots who wanted to help the economy with a Buy American Campaign. It may soon be protested by the Occupy Group as some sneaky way to encourage free enterprise capitalism but we think it will take several years before the government can outlaw this new tradition as antifree trade, anti-Chinese foreign policy and possibly having religious overtones.

Funding for state colleges

Editor, OK, let me get this straight. As the actual cost per student at the University of California system and the California State University system is $27,000 and $20,000 respectively, students are protesting the fact the state pays over half of their costs and much more for children from poor families. Who is going to cover the difference of the increasing costs of a college education in California? The tapped out taxpayer the students will demand in unison. Whose university? Our university ... Now pay for my education. As the new figures show, Governor Moonbeam and the Democrat-controlled Legislature were way too optimistic in their revenue projections, causing immediate trigger cuts which will undoubtedly cause another round of protests. People need to realize that this has been in the making for decades and should not be a surprise to anyone. When our government allows benefits in free education and health care to illegal immigrants, incredible compensation and benefit packages to public union employees and the highest state taxes in the nation, you are guaranteed the time bomb that is going off today. As a conservative Republican in California, I have watched my vote get dismissed for many years by the Democratic voters that rule the roost in California. Somehow, I just know who will get the blame for the current mess we are in: the minority Republican Party of California, not the majority Democratic Party, whose liber-

Justifying high-speed rail

Editor, It seems to me that the cost of the rail system is much too high as costs will spiral beyond $100 billion for the project. It may be worth building but not just for the construction jobs. What must be determined is whether people will actually use the system enough to justify the tremendous cost. What will be the cost of a ticket from San Diego to San Francisco? Will there be security checks when boarding as there are in the airlines? Would it be just as easy and faster to fly the route? Could shipping containers go on the same rail system? Maybe that would justify the expenses while at the same time removing many of the semi-trailer trucks that now use Interstate 5.

Occupy Wall Street Why?

Editor, Why do people occupy Wall Street? Because Wall Street executives brought them there. It may not be obvious since our corporate media would rather ridicule than explore the underlying causes of the OWS protest, for it is not in the best interest of the corporate media to reveal the truth. Through deceit and outright fraud, Wall Street bankers brought housing market to a screeching halt. Due to poor regulation and inadequate rules, the titans of the Wall Street were able to swindle trillions of

espite the struggling economy, theres lot of excitement these days at the San Mateo County Harbor Districts two public harbors, located at Pillar Point Harbor near Half Moon Bay and at Oyster Point Marina in South San Francisco. In early 2012, were looking forward to a new Oyster Point Marina ferry service operated by the Water Emergency Transportation Authority that will connect the northern Peninsula to the East Bay. This ferry service is funded by a combination of voter-approved state Proposition 1B funds, Regional Measure 2 bridge tolls, federal money and San Mateo County Measure A funds. Ferry users will be able to travel to and from South San Francisco and Oaklands Jack London Square, while reducing congestion on our freeways and enjoying a stress-free commute across the scenic San Francisco Bay. Oyster Point Marina will also play a major role in the upcoming Americas Cup yacht races, which will be held in San Francisco in 2013. With recent approval of an amendment to the Harbor District/South San Francisco Joint Powers Agreement, infrastructure improvements which include dock restoration will enhance the experience of mariners and visitors at Oyster Point. Americas Cup is the premiere international boating race that could have as much as a $1.4 billion regional economic impact. We can expect increased tourism, which will generate greater interest in our Bayside activities. While leisure boating activities dominate Oyster Point, commercial shing reigns supreme at our other public harbor in Pillar Point just north of Half Moon Bay. Pillar Point is where visitors can buy fresh sh, crabs and other bounty of the sea from local commercial shing eet, sh market and restaurants. The harbors centerpiece for recreational shing is its modern launch ramp and an active eet of charter boats. Whales, marine mammals and seabirds can be observed as they migrate along the coast. Also, tourists from all over the globe visit Pillar Point to view the world-famous Mavericks surng competition which occurs between late-November and February each year. When was the last time you enjoyed these activities? Five elected commissioners govern the San Mateo County Harbor District, whose responsibility is to oversee the management and vision for the two public harbors. These days, the commission has been on the unprecedented of requests to hold special events at the harbor, repairing aging infrastructure and continuing to ensure marine safety. This delicate balancing act requires careful consideration between the desires of visitors, the shermen, leisure boaters, local businesses, regulatory agencies and the local community. At the same time, like everyone else, the Harbor District must navigate through challenging economic conditions. The good news is that while many other special districts and government agencies are looking to reduce services and threaten layoffs, the Harbor District has no intention of doing either. In fact, the district has steadily reduced its development debt to the state by half, from well over $19 million to just under $9 million by the end of this year. The district continues to reach out to the local community by holding community meetings to foster dialogue and obtain feedback on future plans and a vision that will enhance your harbor experience while preserving its natural beauty. Please consider attending one of our meetings, as we would greatly appreciate your comments and suggestions. We encourage all San Mateo County residents to enjoy their public harbors and support them in the same way that they support their local library or city park. We are your Harbor District and we look forward to seeing you soon at our facilities. Our harbors are your connection to quality seafood, transportation, recreation and the gateway to a dynamic ocean and Bay ecosystem.
Peter Grenell is the general manager of the San Mateo County Harbor District.

The market fell sharply Wednesday and Thursday on worries that Europes debt crisis could spread and hurt U.S. banks. Encouraging economic reports this week including a drop in un employment applications and an increase in industrial production did little to help the market because a European meltdown would easily drag down the U.S. economy, said Kim Caughey Forrest, equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group.

Stocks nished about where they started Friday as investors balanced positive signs for the U.S. economy with a looming deadline for a decit-cutting committee in Congress. Steep declines earlier in the week left the market with its worst weekly loss since September. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 25.43 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at 11,796.16. The Dow traded in a relatively narrow range, rising as many as 84 points and falling as many as 15. Hewlett-Packard Co. jumped 2.6 percent, the most of the 30 stocks in the index, on an analyst upgrade. The Conference Boards index of leading economic indicators rose more than Wall Street analysts were expecting, a sign that the economy may pick up in the coming months. But many investors were cautious as a key Congressional committee remained deadlocked on ways to cut the U.S. budget decit. A bipartisan panel must agree on making at least $1.2 trillion in decit cuts by Thanksgiving. If the committee fails and Congress takes no other action, automatic spending cuts will take effect beginning in 2013. Economists worry that a deadlocked Congress will erode business con-
FDA revokes Avastin for breast cancer

By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON The blockbuster drug Avastin should no longer be used in advanced breast cancer patients because theres no proof that it extends their lives or even provides enough temporary benefit to outweigh its dangerous side effects, the government declared Friday. The ruling by the Food and Drug Administration was long expected, but it was certain to disappoint women who say theyve run out of other options as their breast cancer spread through their bodies. Impassioned patients had lobbied furiously to preserve Avastin as a last shot. But repeated studies found the drug had only a small effect on tumor growth. The research didnt show evidence that patients lived any longer or had a better quality of life than if they had taken
standard chemotherapy. The FDA concluded that the drug presented an array of risks, including severe high blood pressure, massive bleeding, heart attack or heart failure, along with perforations in the stomach and intestines. I did not come to this decision lightly, said the FDA commissioner, Dr. Margaret Hamburg. But, she said, Sometimes despite the hopes of investigators, patients, industry and even the FDA itself, the results of rigorous testing can be disappointing. Avastin is the worlds best-selling cancer drug, and also is used to treat certain forms of colon, lung, kidney and brain cancers. So even though FDA formally revoked its approval of the drug to treat breast cancer, doctors still could prescribe it but insurers may not pay for it. Including infusion fees, a years treatment with Avastin can cost $100,000. Some insurers already had quit cover-
ing the drugs use in breast cancer after FDAs advisers twice once last year and once this summer urged revoking the approval. But Medicare said Friday that it will keep paying for now. In a statement, the agency said it will monitor the issue and evaluate coverage options as a result of action by the FDA but has no immediate plans to change coverage policies. Hamburg said any woman wishing to remain on Avastin should have an indepth discussion with her doctor about the risks and what the research into the drug showed. Avastin manufacturer Genentech, part of Swiss drugmaker Roche Group, had argued that the drug should remain available while it conducted more research to see if certain subsets of breast cancer patients might benet, perhaps people whose tumors contain certain genetic characteristics.
At GE plant, Chu says U.S.needs to stay in solar

ARVADA, Colo. Energy Secretary Steven Chu says the global market for solar energy remains huge and its important that the United States stay in the game. Chus comments at a Colorado solar facility Friday come a day after hostile questioning by congressional Republicans over a federal loan to failing solar panel maker Solyndra Inc. Chu told a House committee that unexpected market changes, including cheap imports from China and the collapse of the European market for solar panels, led prices for Solyndras product to fall. Chu toured the PrimeStar solar manufacturing facility in suburban Denver that General Electric Co. bought this year. Afterward, Chu said the highest level of innovation in the industry is happening in the U.S. He also said price parity and energy storage are key to solars success.

Additional terms of the agreement werent disclosed. Epogen boosts oxygen-carrying red blood cells, reducing the need for painful blood transfusions. However, sales were hurt in 2009 when a study suggested Epogen and drugs like it can double the risk of stroke. Doctors had previously assumed that higher doses would help prevent heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. In June 2011, the Food and Drug Administration said doctors should use lower doses of the drugs when treating patients with failing kidneys because of increased risk of stroke, blood clots and death. Medicare and Medicaid have also proposed new limits on reimbursement on the drugs. Amgen, based in Thousand Oaks, Calif., said the safety warnings and those proposed limits could reduce use of the drugs by 20 to 25 percent. In the most recent quarter ended in September, Epogen sales declined 27 percent to $476 million amid an updated safety warning and the restrictions on Medicare reimbursement.

M-A advances in CCS

Warriors get by Willow Glen

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Santa Clara football team ran roughshod through the Santa Clara Valley Athletic Leagues El Camino Division this season, winning the division title. The El Camino Division is the equivalent of the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Ocean Division, so when the Bruins faced MenloAtherton in the rst round of the Central Coast Section Division I playoff opener Friday night in Atherton, they were taking a step up in competition against a Bears squad that was bigger, faster and stronger. It showed. Menlo-Atherton raced out to a 30-0 lead at halftime and cruised to a 40-22 victory. The second-seeded Bears will face No. 6 Salinas next week. Salinas knocked off third-seeded Homestead 27-26 Friday night. The rst half, we really played well, said M-A quarterback Willy Fonua, who completed 8 of 12 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown with seven of those completions coming during a steady rain in the rst half. The second half, I think we got too comfortable with the score, Fonua said. Just as the teams lined up for the opening kickoff, the rain started to fall and it didnt stop until halftime. The wet conditions didnt stop Fonua and the M-A offense, however. The Bears went 65 yards on eight plays on the rst drive of the game. Fonua hooked up with Dustin Nascimento twice on the drive for 45 yards, including a 25-yard scoring strike to put the Bears up 7-0 just over three minutes into the game. Those were Nascimentos only two catches of the game. Max Culhane hauled in three passes for 79 yards. Ive had some bad experiences in the rain, Fonua said. Tonight, I just tried to not to focus on the rain. M-A coach Sione Taufoou said he prepared his team to play in rain. We practiced with a wet ball so we were ready for the wet weather, Taufoou said.

Willow Glen, the reigning CCS Division II champions, is out of the 2011 playoffs. And they have Keven Cuhna of South San Francisco to thank for that. Perhaps its a little unfair to bestow the bulk of the Warriors 31-23 win in the rst round of the CCS playoffs all on No. 34s shoulders. But the truth is, with the game hanging in the balance and South City running backs going down left and right, Cuhna stepped up huge and dethroned the No. 6 Rams. Keven has done that before, said South City head coach Frank Moro. He took control of two games this year where it was key. We had guys step up today. Cuhnas line at the end of 48 minutes isnt overwhelming, he nished with 16 carries for 64 yards rushing. But know that in the second half, with Anthony Shkuratov on the sideline nursing a leg injury and Maligi Maluia unavailable with what appeared to be a bad ankle, Moro called on Cuhna when he needed the tough yards. And he responded like a big-time player in a big-time setting. Something just shot in my head, Cuhna said. I knew I had to take it to them. I just felt a sudden rush. My line was blocking and I knew we had to run out this clock. After a wild rst half that saw the teams combine for 41 points, the second half was all about control for the Warriors. Down 23-21 with 9:37 left in the third quarter, quarterback Brad Los orchestrated drives of 17 and 15 plays that ate up the majority of the second half. It wasnt pretty, but its the grind- it-out style of football that builds champions in CCS. It was intense, Los said. We had a linebacker step up and play fullback. He didnt even practice there all week. But hes one of our captains, Ramzy Azar, hes a big contributor on our team. He stepped up. We got the ball because of our defense, Jayson Delacruz, he stepped up, he didnt play all week. Stepping up was the theme for South City after a wild start to the ball game.

Mauricio Shogun Rua and Dan Henderson headline the ght card in a light heavyweight bout. Rua is coming off a rst round knockout of Forrest Grifn at UFC 134 in his native Brazil. The win came after losing at UFC 128 to Jon Dan Henderson Bones Jones. In Dan Henderson, Rua faces a MMA legend, with experience in the PRIDE
Fighting Championships, Strikeforce and the UFC. Well, I think certainly this is a marquee ght for me, Rua said via conference call. A very important ght. Dan Henderson is a legend and MMA champion (at) PRIDE, a champion of Strikeforce. Hes a guy with a big history in the sport and this ght obviously means a lot to me. Right now, my whole focus is on the ght with Dan Henderson.

49ers hope to keep momentum against Arizona

By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Jonathan Goodwin offers some perspective in the San Francisco 49ers locker room. He won 13 straight games to start the season with the New Orleans Saints two years ago. Then they dropped their nal three before going on to capture the franchises lone Super Bowl title. We lost the last three games going into the playoffs, so that kind of calmed everything down a little bit, said Goodwin, the 49ers rst-year center in his 10th NFL season. Thats why Goodwin guards against getting overly excited about the current seven-game winning streak by San Francisco (8-1) even with a commanding ve-game lead in the NFC West and Arizona coming to town having lost four straight in the series. The Cardinals (3-6) managed only 13 total points over the previous two meetings. It denitely feels good to be winning, but there are still seven games left before the postseason even starts, Goodwin said. In this league, you cant get ahead of yourself. The Saints realized early in 2009 it could be a special season. The 49ers sure hoped that would be the case for them this year despite the lockout slowing that process after San Francisco hired coach Jim Harbaugh away from nearby Stanford. Yet nobody could have envisioned the Niners being nearly this good as in one 2724 overtime loss to Dallas in Week 2 from being unbeaten. Whether he says it or not, Harbaugh has changed the culture for this franchise and brought back memories of the dynasty days and those ve Super Bowl rings won in the 1980s and 90s. I dont think you create an identity. I think
you become it, Harbaugh said. You become what you are. You become your identity. From my standpoint, being around these guys, this team, these coaches, its the team, the team, the team. Its about the team. It has been that way for this group since well before the season opener back on Sept. 11 against Seattle. That was the last time the streaking 49ers were tested by a divisional opponent, and they whipped the Seahawks 3317 in Harbaughs NFL debut. The Niners havent slowed down since. From quarterback Alex Smiths poise in the pocket and heady decision-making to the key contributions of newcomers Goodwin, cornerback Carlos Rogers and kicker David Akers, San Francisco is on a roll like nothing this organization has experienced in 14 years. Theyre an impressive football team, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. Kudos to Alex. I think theyre a very talented bunch and theyre well coached. Coach Harbaughs done a great job with those guys. Now, the Niners look to clinch the division and their rst playoff berth since 2002 as soon as possible considering both Arizona and Seattle are 3-6 and St. Louis 2-7. Not that this game is a gimme. This is not a trap game for us. This is a rivalry game, left tackle Joe Staley said. We expect the best effort out of them. Its always a very physical game regardless of records. We came into their place when they went to the Super Bowl that year, went to their house and beat them. We had a bad record that year. The Cardinals have to be a little more condent coming to Candlestick Park this time after snapping an 11-game road losing streak against the Eagles last week a team the 49ers also came from behind to beat 24-23 in Philly on Oct. 2. John Skelton, playing for injured starting quarterback Kevin Kolb the past two weeks,

connected with Early Doucet on a 5-yard touchdown pass with 1:53 left in the Cardinals 21-17 victory. You have to have that sense of urgency, and I think as an offense we really do that, Skelton said. We turn it up a notch in the fourth quarter. Kolb is nursing an injured right foot that might keep him out again. Skelton knows there will be some tense moments Sunday against a talented Niners team and top defense. Its intense. Its probably as good as any in football, he said. They are 8-1. Weve got two wins recently, so we are kind of on the upswing, too. We know its going to be a physical and intense game, and we just have to minimize the mistakes and be successful that way. Larry Fitzgerald is coming off a two-touchdown game for an Arizona team that has suddenly won two straight on the heels of a sixgame skid after not getting back-to-back victories all of last season. Four of Fitzgeralds ve TDs have come in road games. Ive played Larry a couple of times, said Rogers, who has ve interceptions in his rst season with San Francisco after spending his rst six years with Washington. Its been a good matchup. We know how Larry is, a great receiver. One of the best. Deep-ball guy. I dont think his speed is like that, but he can
get open any time. Thats going to be a great matchup again. The Cardinals cant afford mistakes against these 49ers, like Jay Feelys first-quarter missed eld goals from 35 and 43 yards last week. San Franciscos defense stopped Giants quarterback Eli Manning in the waning moments of a 27-20 victory last Sunday. Justin Smith batted down a pass on fourth down from the 10 to seal it. Those kinds of plays didnt go the 49ers way in recent years, when they regularly were on the other end of late-game heartbreakers. Alex Smith has now led four fourth-quarter comebacks, three during a 4-0 road start. Its one of those things where we understand what we have to do, linebacker Parys Haralson said. I think as far as the defense and the team, its a team with a lot of ght. We dont give up, man. We know that its a 60minute football game. Two San Francisco stars sat out the nal meeting last season against Arizona. Pro Bowl inside linebacker Patrick Willis didnt start for the rst time in his career after undergoing a second surgery on his broken right hand. Running back Frank Gore was sidelined for his fth straight game to end the season after fracturing his right hip. Gores status is in question for this week because of a right ankle injury. Personnel aside, the 49ers are prepared to treat this game as one of equal magnitude to last weeks showdown with the Giants and that much-anticipated Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh Thanksgiving affair next Thursday when the 49ers face Harbaughs big brother, John, and the Baltimore Ravens. They play us hard, tight end Vernon Davis said of the Cardinals. They match our intensity. We cant take them lightly. We have to go out and attack them right away.
Raiders, Vikings gambled on vet QBs

By Jon Krawczynski
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. The Minnesota Vikings and Oakland Raiders both felt compelled to gamble on veteran quarterbacks at different points this season, hoping each could help them stay competitive in their respective divisions. There are many reasons the Vikings (2-7) are at the bottom of the NFC North and the Raiders (5-4) are on top of the AFC West heading into their game Sunday at the Metrodome, with the success, or lack thereof,
of those gambles at the top of the list. The Vikings chose Donovan McNabb, acquiring him in a trade with Washington before training camp opened. The Raiders paid a hefty price for Carson Palmer, sending a 2012 rst-round pick Donovan and a conditional secondMcNabb rounder in 2013 that can become another rst rounder to the Bengals after Campbell went down in a win over the
Browns in Week 6. McNabb struggled with a limited Vikings offense, failing to get the passing game going as Minnesota lost five of its first six games. He was replaced in the fourth quarter of a 3910 loss to the Chicago Carson Palmer Bears on Oct. 16 and is now relegated to backing up rookie Christian Ponder. After a shaky debut against Kansas City, Palmer has shown increasing improvement
over the last two weeks as the Raiders starter. He has also solidied himself as a leader on the team in short order, inspiring condence in his teammates that all was not lost when Campbell broke his collarbone a month ago. He means a lot, Raiders running back Michael Bush said. Hes been doing a good job of calling the right plays, getting us in the right position to score points. Its hard coming in for a quarterback to pick all the plays, formations and all that stuff. Hes doing a good job.

Iowa State freshman quarterback Jared Barnett found James White for a 25-yard touchdown on the rst play of extra time, but Weeden answered with a 6-yard TD pass to Josh Cooper. Johnsons interception set up a thrilling nish for the Cyclones and coach Paul Rhoads, the defensive coordinator at Pittsburgh when it upset No. 2 West Virginia 13-9 in 2007. Barnett nished with 376 yards passing and three TDs for Iowa State. Oklahoma State stretched its lead to 24-7 less than 3 minutes into the second half and looked set to break it open as it usually does. Tracy Moore caught Weedens pass in trafc and stumbled 30 yards for the touchdown. That could have been it for Iowa State but the Cyclones were far from nished. Iowa State answered with a 32-yard TD run from White and recovered an onside kick with ease. Barnett fumbled it back to Oklahoma State, but the Cowboys fumbled it right back and Zach Guyers 24-yard eld goal made it 2417 with 4:04 left in the third quarter.

South Citys defense bent, but didnt break in that rst half. But the injuries were racking up. Shkuratov went down with what he called a charlie horse. And earlier in the rst half, Chris Cuhna came out with what appeared to be a shoulder problem. Plus, South City was already without Jerick Anicete and, according to Moro, safety Robert Johnson was banged up, too. But come the second half, it was the likes of Keven Cuhna, Ahmad DeGuzman, Dominic Goodman and a handful of others that came up big, playing more minutes than they might have been accustomed to and making the most of the spotlight. Willow Glen came out and executed an onside kick to begin the half. The Rams turned that possession into a 37-yard eld goal by Johnson to go up 23-21. But that was all the scoring they would get as the Warriors limited Willow Glen to 14 offensive plays (one was actually a huge interception by Delacruz) and 108 yards (59 of which came on a big pass play on the Rams nal drive) in the second half. Willow Glens lack of offense was a byproduct of a South City offense that ran 33 plays in the second half and ate up the majority of the clock. With 1:17 left in the third quarter, DeGuzman scored the go-ahead touchdown, capping off a 17play drive that consumed 8:20 off the scoreboard. And with 2:03 left in the game, Rubio Luis 27yard eld goal gave the Warriors an 8-point cushion. That came at the end of a drive that ate almost seven minutes off the clock. We follow the guidelines of H.E.D thats hustle, execute and dominate, Los said in regards to those two long second-half drives. Thats what the coach tells us and thats what I tell the team (in the huddle). Willow Glen got its nal shot and almost scored. They had rst-and-10 from the South City 14 with 1:48 left in the game. But a sack by Rika Levi forced a fourth down and 18 from the 21-yard line. That defensive play was the nail in the cofn. We had a lot of guys step up, Moro said. And were going to need them to because we arent done. plays, culminating on Mashacks 12-yard run. After Santa Clara shanked a punt on its next possession, the Bears needed only three plays to cover 30 yards, with Mashack ripping off an 18yard scoring run to put the Bears up 27-0 with 5:08 to play in the rst half. Sam Falkenhagen tacked on a 27-yard eld goal just before halftime to put the Bears up 30-0 and all but lock up the game. Santa Clara got a glimmer of hope when Adam Garza took the second-half kickoff 94 yards for a score, but the Bruins could not muster much offense against the Bears rst-string defense. M-A responded to that quick Santa Clara strike with a score of its own. After recovering the Bruins onside kick attempt, the Bears went 45 yards on ve plays with Moody scoring from 34 yards out to put the Bears up 37-6. Falkenhagen booted his second eld goal of the night, this one a 26 yarder to put the Bears up 40-6 with 5:18 to play in the third quarter. After that, it was time for the Bears secondstring defense to get some playing time and the Bruins took advantage, scoring a pair of fourthquarter touchdowns. Jason Plater hooked up with Kingsley Okakpu for a 19-yard scoring pass and Adrian Gutierrez bulled his way into the end zone with 16 seconds left for the nal score of the game. Garza led the Bruins with 176 yards on 17 carries, but most of that came against the Bears second unit. He was held to just 36 yards in the rst half.

Willow Glen came out and showed that, despite their own slew of injuries during the year, they were still the defending champs and were going to play as such. Ten plays into the game, James Johnson ran the ball in from eight yards out to give the Rams a 6-0 lead. But the Warriors responded emphatically. On their rst play from scrimmage, Shkuratov ran a trap play to perfection and burst into the end zone from 63 yards out to give South City a 7-6 lead. It was just the start of a monster rst quarter for No. 6. After South City stopped the Rams on their next drive, the Warriors went to work on their 19. Five plays later, Shkuratov had his second long touchdown of the day, this one more impressive than the rst as he was met at the line of scrimmage by a pair of Rams, barreled through them, broke the tackle and then spun away from another Willow Glen defender. Sixty-one yards later, he was back hosting another touchdown party to give South City a 14-6 lead. Shkuratov had 133 yards rushing in the rst quarter alone. But Willow Glen showed they had some repower of their own. Quarterback Mitchell Ravizza threw up and down the eld, completing 16 of 23 passes in the rst half for 189 yards. It was his touchdown to Johnson with 34 second left in the rst quarter that tied things up at 14 following a 2-point conversion. Shkuratov added his third score of the half on the ensuing drive, punching his way in from 1yard out with 9:26 left in second quarter. But Ravizza and the Rams went right back to work in the air with 3:32 remaining in the half, Willow Glen got to within a point on Ravizzas second touchdown pass. The Rams outgained the Warriors 264-179 in the rst half. Its what we talked about when we played Menlo, Moro said. We have to cover 53 by 100 (the entire eld), and in order to do that, you have to have some speed.
AMES, Iowa Backup running back Jeff Woody scored on a 4-yard run in the second overtime and Iowa State stunned second-ranked Oklahoma State 37-31 on Friday night, derailing the Cowboys national title hopes. The Cyclones (6-4, 3-4 Big 12) overcame a 17-point decit to beat the Cowboys (10-1, 7-1 Big 12), who were just a win away from a showdown with rival Oklahoma for a likely spot in the BCS title game. Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weedens rst pass in the second overtime was intercepted by Leonard Johnson. Woody ran for 6 and 15 yards, then bullied his way into the end zone to give the Cyclones their rst victory over a top-ve opponent in school history. Weeden threw for 476 yards, but he had three interceptions as the Cowboys turned it over ve times. Oklahoma State was a 27-point favorite against the upstart Cyclones, who lost their rst four Big 12 games. But the Cowboys let Iowa State hang around just long enough to beat them

At their heart, however, the Bears are a running team and that was their bread and butter Friday night as M-A rushed for 224 yards and three scores.

We have a ton of kids who play hard, Taufoou said. We ran the ball well. The offensive line got off the ball well. After their opening touchdown, the Bears defense got into the act. They forced the Bruins into a punting situation on their rst drive, but Culhane burst into the backeld and blocked the punt, with the Bears taking over at the Santa Clara 4-yard line. Moody went into the end zone on the next play and just like that, the Bears had a 14-0 lead. M-A went up 20-0 on its rst drive of the second quarter, moving the ball 80 yards on eight

annual matchup. That gives the meeting between the Bay Area rivals more substance than spectacle this season under the lights at Stanford Stadium. The Cardinal (9-1, 7-1) still have a chance to make a BCS bowl and keep alive their faint hopes for a Pac-12 title, and the Golden Bears (6-4, 3-4) could wreck Stanfords season and move into a more marquee postseason game by claiming a signature upset each side has had so often in this series. Winning a Big Game makes for a successful season, Cal defensive end Trevor Guyton said. Thats the biggest game of each season. When you go there and win, that puts a bright spot on your season regardless. Nobody could use a bright spot more than Luck right now. The redshirt junior threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in a 53-30 loss to the Ducks last week. Since he turned down a chance to be the NFLs top pick this year and return to school, everything for the program and its star quarterback had been aimed at toppling Oregon the only team to beat the Cardinal the last two years and claiming a conference crown and possible BCS championship. Now those dreams are likeone of the most accurate Heisman trackers. Oklahoma States Brandon Weeden, Alabamas Trent Richardson, Oregons LaMichael James and Houstons Case Keenum appear to be his closest threats. How he plays against Cal this weekend and Notre Dame next Saturday will likely determine whether he becomes the first Stanford player since Jim Plunkett in 1970 to win college footballs most prestigious award. While the Oregon loss still stings, Luck has only dropped back-to-back games once in his career, coming in 2009 during his rst season as the starter. Hes just like everybody else. Hes down, Stanford left tackle Jonathan Martin said. But hes good at putting things behind him and moving on to the next task at hand and thats how hes been so far this week. While nine of the last 11 Heisman winners have played in the BCS championship game, Luck still has a chance to break the trend with a performance in a rivalry game that will bring added attention.

Big Game has big meaning for Luck,No.8 Stanford

By Antonio Gonzalez
STANFORD The Big Game rivalry is a little bigger for Andrew Luck this year. Stanfords standout quarterback is coming off his worst performance of the season in a crushing loss to Oregon. His Heisman Trophy campaign is no longer a runaway and questions are starting to emerge about his abilities. So when Luck leads the No. 8 Cardinal against California for perhaps the nal time in his career Saturday night, leaving a lasting memory in the 114th edition of one of college footballs oldest rivalries could be paramount. Theres no time to feel sorry for yourself or lack motivation, Luck said. I dont think anybody will lack any motivation for a Big Game against Cal. I know I wont. More than the coveted Axe is at stake this time around. For only the second time in the last 20 years, Stanford and Cal are already bowl-eligible ahead of the
Andrew Luck
ly shattered. The only way a league title can happen now is if Stanford beats Cal and No. 4 Oregon loses to Southern California and Oregon State. Winning a Heisman and lifting Stanford to a BCS berth are the only goals still within reach. Were trying to win games, and Andrew knows that and wants that, Stanford coach David Shaw said. You cant sacrice the team for one guy. As much as its tempting because of his skills, I dont think its right. Lucks sizeable lead in the Heisman race has vanished. He still holds a slim cushion atop the weekly straw poll of 13 voters conducted by HeismanPundit.com,
teams was quite evident a year ago in Berkeley, when Luck and the Cardinal beat the Bears 48-14 in the most lopsided Big Game in 80 years. The Bears left Stanford with a 34-28 victory in 2009. Luck made all the difference in both. He completed 10 of 30 passes for 157 yards in a losing effort two years ago. Last season, he threw for 235 yards on 16 of 20 passes and the 48 points were the most Stanford had ever scored in the series. Cal coach Jeff Tedford knows an otherwise average year in Berkeley could change in an instant. The Bears are already assured of heading to a lower-prole game, with the Sun Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl and Fight Hunger Bowl strong possibilities. Getting a chance to turn back Stanford and Lucks Heisman bid in the process is easily bigger than them all. Its part of the big thrill about being at Cal and playing Stanford, Tedford said. Thats part of the excitement.
Paterno has lung cancer

By Genaro C. Armas
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Days after losing the job he held for nearly a half century, former Penn State coach Joe Paterno was diagnosed with a treatable form of lung cancer. Scott Paterno, the Hall of Fame coachs son, said in a statement provided Friday to The Associated Press that his fathers doctors are optimistic the 84-year-old Paterno will make a full recovery. The news came shortly after Penn State said the NCAA would look into the schools handling of a child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant Joe Paterno coach Jerry Sandusky. Paterno was red by the board of trustees Nov. 9 for failing to do more an abuse allegation against Sandusky than report it to his superiors. Last weekend, my father was diagnosed with a treatable form of lung cancer during a follow-up visit for a bronchial illness, Scott Paterno said in the brief statement. The doctors visit came the same weekend the school played its rst game since the 1960s without Paterno leading the Nittany Lions Penn State lost, 17-14 to Nebraska. As everyone can appreciate, this is a deeply personal matter for my parents, and we simply ask that his privacy be respected as he proceeds with treatment, Scott Paterno said. Earlier Friday, The Citizens Voice of Wilkes-Barre reported that Paterno had been seen Wednesday visiting the Mount Nittany Medical Center and was treated for an undisclosed ailment and released.
Paterno was fired last week by school trustees in the aftermath of accusations against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, who is charged with sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years. Critics said Paterno should have done more to stop the abuse that a state grand jury detailed in a 23-page report in particular one assault in 2002. Paterno initially announced his retirement effective at the end of the season. But university trustees red him about 12 hours later, the evening of Nov. 9. Longtime defensive coordinator Tom Bradley replaced Paterno on an interim basis. He broke the news to the Nittany Lions after the team arrived in Columbus, Ohio, for Saturdays game against Ohio State. I told them sometimes words pale at a time like this. I felt they should hear it from us, exactly what it was, that we were told that it was a treatable lung cancer, Bradley said. Its just one of those things. Its a tough time for the players. Former Penn State quarterback Todd Blackledge, now an ESPN analyst, said Paterno never mentioned the illness when he visited his former coach Thursday in State College. In a week or so of many surprises this was another one, said Blackledge, who noted that Paterno was in good spirits when he saw him. A Penn State spokesman in Columbus said Friday night that as far as he knew, Paterno never smoked. To say his health problems added Paternos trouble during a rough period doesnt begin to capture the last two weeks. The lurid Sandusky scandal has tarnished the reputation of a coach and a football program that once prided itself on the slogan Success with Honor.
NCAA taking up Penn State scandal

By Genaro C. Armas
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. The NCAA will examine whether Penn State broke any rules with its handling of a child sex abuse scandal that has shocked the campus and cost the schools former president and coach Joe Paterno their jobs. NCAA president Mark Emmert sent a letter to Penn State president Rod Erickson saying that the governing body for college sports will look at Penn States exercise of institutional control over its intercollegiate athletics programs in the case of Jerry Sandusky, the former defensive coordinator accused of 40 counts of child sex abuse. We have to examine those facts and make a thoughtful determination of what is covered by our bylaws and what is not, Emmert told The Associated Press on Friday. Emmert said the case is not yet a formal investigation, though the inquiry could lead to that. NCAA investigators have not yet been on Penn States campus. Emmert has asked the university to respond by Dec. 16 to several questions. If the NCAA decides to move ahead from there, the process could take an additional six to 10 months. Everyone that works inside a university, a coach, an administrator, a faculty member is rst an educator and mentor, Emmert said. When youre in that position you have a responsibility to provide leadership and maintain a high ethical standard. Sandusky is accused of abusing eight boys, some on campus, over 15 years. Among the charges is an alleged assault in 2002 that was not
brought to the attention of police, according to a grand jury report, even though top ofcials at Penn State knew there was an accusation of inappropriate behavior. The resulting scandal has tarnished the image of a once squeaky-clean football program that has prided itself on the slogan Success with Honor. It will be important for Penn State to cooperate fully and provide any assistance possible to the NCAA, Erickson said in a statement. The universitys and NCAAs interests are perfectly aligned in identifying what went wrong and how to prevent anything similar from happening again. The schools athletic department also released a statement, pledging it would work with the NCAA. Athletic Director Tim Curley has been placed on administrative leave, and Vice President Gary Schultz, who was in charge of the universitys police department, has retired. Schultz and Curley each are charged with lying to the grand jury and failure to report to police. They maintain their innocence, as does Sandusky. In addition to the ongoing criminal investigation of Sandusky, Penn State has started its own, internal review and the U.S. Department of Education is examining whether the school failed to report incidents of sexual abuse on campus, as required by federal law. Soon after Penn State announced that the NCAA was getting involved in the case, Scott Paterno, the ex-coachs son, said his father has been diagnosed with a treatable form of lung cancer. The younger Paterno said his father is expected to make a full recovery.

Oklahoma State coaches together for a decade

By Jeff Latzke
STILLWATER, Okla. Kurt Budke believed in Oklahoma State when no one else did, and he wasnt afraid to show it. Less than two years after his Cowgirls failed to win any of their 16 conference games, Budke led them up against powerhouse Oklahoma and reigning national player of the year Courtney Paris. He supported his upstart team with a fashion statement: the brightest orange blazer he could nd. Behind a scintillating 45-point game from Andrea Riley, the Cowgirls upset the sixth-ranked Sooners for the rst time in nine years.
Wherever Budke went, he won. The charismatic coach who turned the Cowgirls into an NCAA tournament regular was killed along with assistant coach Miranda Serna and two other people in a plane crash in Arkansas late Thursday. The two coaches, who had worked together for more than a decade, had been on a recruiting trip. Budke frequently offered his players encouragement from the sidelines, but he also could be rm, raising his deep voice. And on more than one occasion, he grabbed a microphone to speak to the Gallagher-Iba Arena crowd after a win. Coach Budke was a ball coach. What he did to turn this program around was unbelievable but thats
not important right now, said Jim Littell, Budkes assistant who will replace him on an interim basis. W h a t s important is he was a father gKurt Budke ure for these kids. He had a tremendous knack of taking kids that maybe were struggling in some part of their life and making it better for them. That was his strongest trait. Serna, 36, was one of his top helpers along the way. She played on one of his four teams that won the junior-college national title at Trinity Valley (Texas) and was his
assistant at Louisiana Tech for three straight trips to the NCAA tournament. T h e Guadalupita, N.M., native was Miranda Serna his recruiting coordinator at Oklahoma State, which has been to the postseason the past ve years. When he took over the program, the Cowgirls had nished with a losing record in ve of their previous seven seasons and never nished more than a game over .500 during that span. The Cowgirls went 0-16 in Big 12 play in his rst season, then secured
their rst bid to the NCAA tournament in 11 years. The next year brought a trip to the round of 16. You learn how to lose, and thats a bad habit, he once said of those early struggles. Sometimes, its easier to lose than to ght back, so we had to change habits and expectations. Budke had little to sell but a dream, but it was enough to convince the WNBA-bound Riley to come make her mark. She left as the programs career scoring leader. I came to this league because I wanted to coach against the best, night in and night out, he once said. These players that want to come play for us want to play against the best. Thats how we go out and recruit.

debut following eight ghts (7-1 record) with Strikeforce all of which took place in his hometown of San Jose. Le will take on Wanderlei Silva, one of the most decorated and respected MMA ghters of all-time, in a middleweight bout. Silva is coming off a loss to Chris Leben at UFC 132. Le hasnt fought in almost 18 months, last appearing at Strikeforce:Fedor vs. Werdum, where he recorded a knockout of Scott Smith. Yes. Ive had a long layoff, Le said. But this time around I made sure I stayed in shape and, you know, just training on a consistent basis. As soon as I came back from China in February, I was back in the gym sparring and scrapping and wrestling so I feel good and ghting in the UFC is -- its an honor and Im very excited to be part of the UFC now. Silva has enjoyed a career that has encompassed 45 ghts (33-11-1), and for the Brazilian, tonight is his chance to prove hes still has plenty to offer the MMA world. I think my performance in this ght will allow me to ght again, Silva said. I dont want to retire and I know that if I perform like I do in the gym, I will. What happened in my last ght can happen to anyone in MMA. You cant tell Cain Velasquez he should retire now because he got knocked out. Also on the main card, Urijah Faber will ght Brian Bowles in a bantamweight bout. Faber is 25-5 in his career, after spending the majority of his time with World Extreme Cageghting. Hes 1-1 with the UFC. Bowles is 10-1 and 2-0 with the UFC. This is a UFC bantamweight title eliminator. In welterweight action, Martin Kampmann (17-5) will face Rick Story (13-4). Stephen Bonnar (13-7) and Kyle Kingsbury (11-2) will tangle in light heavyweight action. In preliminary card action, Ryan Bader (12-2) will take on Jason Brilz (18-4-1) and Michael McDonald (13-1) will face Alex Soto (6-0-1).

UFC
Henderson comes in riding a three-bout win streak; the latter being a TKO against Fedor Emelianenko that may have resurrected his career. Henderson last appeared in the UFC in 2009, beating Michael Bisping before signing a contract with Strikeforce. I denitely feel like I got a lot of ght left in me and I come with a game plan for every opponent, every ght, Henderson said. Im excited about ghting Shogun. It' something that the fans have been looking forward to for a long time and wanting for a long time and hes a tough opponent and well-rounded and denitely a huge challenge for me to get past. Henderson versus Rua provides some interesting story lines. For Henderson, its a chance to prove that no matter the ghting organization, hes one of the best the sport has ever seen. And for Rua, its answering the question of whether his recent run with injury has sent the once unbeatable ghter to the realm of normalcy. I think Im a 100 percent recovered from my injuries, Rua said. For a ghter, it was very tough to stay sidelined for one year without competing. As a ghter, I like to stay active and stay busy quite often and keep active. Henderson believes he is not ghting only for himself but the all ghters from Strikeforce. Obviously Id like to represent Strikeforce well, being their champion. But rst and foremost, I just need to represent myself and what Ive done in my career, Henderson said. I dont feel any pressure to perform because of coming from Strikeforce and all. I think its pretty much from the consensus that Strikeforce has some top ghters in there and top champions in there, and I am not worried about proving anything. Perhaps no one will receive a bigger ovation Saturday night than Le, who is making his UFC
RAIDERS
Palmer got his rst action in relief of Kyle Boller against the Chiefs on Oct. 23, less than a week after the Raiders brought him in. He was 8 of 21 for 116 yards and three interceptions in a 24-0 loss in Kansas City, but it hasnt taken him long to get his rhythm back. He threw for 332 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in a loss to Denver the next week, then was 14 for 20 for 298 yards, two TDs and one interception in a 24-17 win over San Diego last weekend. The biggest thing that hes doing is hes earning the respect of his teammates by the way hes working, whether it be on the eld or off the eld, Raiders coach Hue Jackson said. I think the players can see that, in the locker room, on the practice eld and off the eld in meetings. Thats how hes asserting himself, but thats what youd expect any quarterback to do. Jackson and Vikings coach Leslie Frazier played big roles in the decisions to bring in their respective veterans and both coaches relied on prior relationships with the quarterbacks while making their decisions. Jackson was Palmers offensive coordinator for two years at USC and was the receivers coach with him in Cincinnati for three seasons. So he knew exactly where to turn when he needed a quarterback in a hurry. I coached him and recruited him in college, so I knew exactly who he is, Jackson said. So when the situation happened with Jason, you had a decision do make. Do you just go get somebody to t in? Or do you get somebody who you think can help you truly win? I wanted to give the team the best opportunity to have success. Frazier was in a similar position, albeit
much earlier in the year. With the lockout wiping out all summer of workouts and preventing Ponder from learning the offense and developing a rapport with his teammates, Frazier went looking for an experienced QB to ll the void while the rookie got acclimated to life in the NFL. Frazier was an assistant in Philadelphia when McNabb was drafted, and the two became close over their years there. Our familiarity with him and watching him in this league and seeing the maturation of him throughout his career, I just know that theres some good football left in Donovan, and I think well be the beneciary of that, Frazier said when the trade was first announced. But it became apparent fairly quickly that McNabb wasnt going to be able to keep the Vikings in contention in the resurgent NFC North. He threw just four touchdowns in six starts and averaged a paltry 6.6 yards per completion while receiving substandard protection from the offensive line and throwing to a receiving corps that struggled to gain separation from defensive backs. So the Vikings have turned to Ponder and, despite their unwillingness to admit it publicly, clearly have shifted their focus to the future rather than the present. Ponder is 1-2 as a starter, with both losses to the undefeated Green Bay Packers, including a 45-7 wipeout at Lambeau Field on Monday night. He has shown signs of promise and made some mistakes, as to be expected of a rookie playing the most demanding position on the eld. There are going to be days where youre not as successful as others and you have to learn from those situations and I think he will and our entire group has to learn from what happened on Monday night, Frazier said. Christian got some valuable experience that I think will help him down the road.
Sports brief
Dwayne De Rosario voted Major League Soccers MVP
CARSON No matter how many times Dwayne De Rosario changed Major League Soccer jerseys this year, he put together an MVP season in every new color. The D.C. United midelder was named MLSmost valuable player on Friday, capping an unusual season in which he was traded twice. Even while moving from Toronto FC to the New York Red Bulls
to D.C. United in a three-month span, De Rosario became the leagues leading scorer with an MLS-best 16 goals and 12 assists. The 11-year MLS veteran is the rst Canadian to win the award, and the rst player to win it from a team that missed the postseason. Believe me, it took a lot out of me to go out there and perform at 100 percent, De Rosario said while accepting his trophy at Home Depot Center, the site of Sundays MLS Cup. De Rosario received 72.72 percent of voting by media, players and club ofcials, with the percentage of each group totaled. Houstons Brad Davis was second at 43.66 percent, Dallas youngster Brek Shea nished third, and Los Angeles midelder Landon Donovan was fourth.

was in the car on my way to school a few days after Halloween, and thats when I heard it on the radio. It was my rst holiday commercial of the season and as the radio announcer continued on about these great holiday deals, I sat there in both shock and delight. Like most people, I really enjoy the holiday season. I enjoy the weather getting slightly colder and all the baking that lls the air with the smell of sweet potato pies. Seeing the family and friends you dont get to see or talk to very often is by far the best part. Im one of those people who usually start listening to holiday music the day after Halloween (and sometimes even before that if I can get away with it). I plan the Thanksgiving menu weeks in advanced and count down the days until Black Friday as I save up my baby-sitting money throughout the month of November in anticipation of that morning. As one can see, I love the holidays, but for the past couple of years, my participation in these festivities has dwindled. Between school work, extracurricular activities and studying for nals during the month of December, where would I nd the time to enjoy the season? I had decided this year that I would not let this happen to me once again. I would be ready for the holidays, plan the diner menu and listen to holiday music like I usually do every year. But this year, two words have kept me

CIRQUE DU SOLEILS TOTEM: A COSTUME SPECTACULAR. Costume Designer Kym Barretts fantasmagorical outts for Cirque du Soleils Totem, in San Francisco through Dec. 18, are headliners in their own right, resplendent works merging color, texture and functionality. Barrett notes, Costumes are a way of reinforcing the story thats being told, and thats how I primarily see them. I trained as a milliner, and I like the sculptural aspects of fabric. Totem has Evolution as its theme and Barretts designs adroitly reect the facets of the creation of life and the development of civilizations. Even the cycles of the seasons provide her with inspiration: Neon-bright colors and vivid fabrics lend a summer atmosphere to the Bollywoodinspired beach scene; the abundance of fall is shown in the seed pods and owers of the unicyclists costumes; and two roller-skaters dressed in white and silver help create a winter tableau. To recreate such a broad range of textures, colors and markings found in nature, Barrett concentrated on the treatment of fabrics rather than on the fabrics themselves. Advanced printing techniques, fluorescent pigments, mirror fragments and crystals allowed her to paint on canvases as varied as Lycra and leather, with results that constantly interact with and adapt to the shows ever-changing lighting. Barrett, who designed costumes for The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, said, Although TOTEM is quite fantastical, theres also a sense of reality. The costumes were inspired in part by documentary lm. I wanted them to have a kind of documentary patina, even though we were inventing our own reality. So, for example, in the opening scene of the show, a marsh appears, populated by sh and frogs. Their patterns and colors came from real sh and frogs including the most poisonous frog in the Amazon jungle and are replicated by the pixelation of the image in the screen-printing process. The textures of the fabrics are a close match to the skin of sh and frogs found in nature and the end result resembles a remark-
able community of human amphibians. The Crystal Man, who represents the life force, has a dazzling costume entirely covered in small mirrors and crystals to create a ball of energy when he comes down from the sky in a beam of pure white light. And the Hoop Dancers costume is inspired by the traditional ceremonial clothing of a number of North American Indian tribes, rather than an accurate portrayal of any one culture. Barretts costume art reects the mosaic of life, and the result is magnicent. Totem can be found under the Grand Chapiteau (Big Top) near AT&T Park, next to Parking Lot A, 74 Mission Rock St. in San Francisco. $58 $248.50.

Robin Williams enjoys Happymoments

By Darrik J. Lang
LOS ANGELES Robin Williams wants everyone to know that hes happy. When fans stop the actor-comedian to snap a photo with him on their cell phones, Williams says he usually always obliges but often nds people complain that something seems wrong with him even though hes smiling. I think people always want zany, goofy (expletive) from me, said Williams, who recently returned from a honeymoon to France with new wife, graphic designer Susan Schneider. It takes a lot of energy to do that. If you do that all the time, youll burn out. Williams, who underwent surgery to replace an aortic valve in 2009, is far from retirement, but he acknowledges that hes taking it easier even though hes playing two separate parts in Happy Feet Two, out Friday. The funnyman reprises his roles as chivalrous Adelie penguin Ramon and bombastic rockhopper Lovelace in the follow-up to the 2006 Oscar-winning animated lm about singingand-dancing penguins. The 3-D sequel nds Ramon attempting to woo a sultry bird named Carmen (voiced by Soa Vergara), while Lovelace is hyping a ying penguin named Sven (Hank Azaria). During a recent interview to promote the animated lm, Williams discussed with the help of some Irish, Australian and robotic accents what his life is like at age 60 and why he almost passed out in the sound booth while recording
his part in Australia. AP: What kind of pressure, if any, did you feel working on a Happy Feet sequel? Williams: Well, you have to do it better than the rst time to make it worthwhile, not just for the sake of the franchise. (Director) George (Miller) kicked it hard. I asked him after he saw it what he thought, and he said, Well, I dont know, but I think its better. I said, I think so, too. He used the technology, performances, everything, and took it to a new level. AP: Youre known for your improvisational skills, which Im sure was prevalent on this lm because the voice actors all recorded their parts together. What was your most memorable improv moment while working on this project? Williams: There was one moment as Lovelace where I started speaking in tongues. I got so kind of crazy that I almost passed out. George said, Thats great. Keep going! I told who voiced the character in the original) have a tyke of their own, whose identity issues seem too pat a repetition of those his dad once faced. Young Erik (adorably voiced by Ava Acres) hasnt got rhythm, you see, an embarrassment for the son of the local lord of the dance. Running away with a couple of friends as they chase after Mumbles buddy Ramon (Williams) on the return to his own penguin colony, Erik meets the amazing ying penguin Sven (Hank Azaria), whose can-do attitude makes him the idol of the youngster, to Mumbles detriment. Miller again shovels on an eco message as a colossal iceberg cast adrift by climate change endangers the entire colony of emperor penguins. Once the crisis arrives, the action bogs down a bit, the movie lingering a long while on its penguins-on-the-precipice menace without a whole lot happening. But with its interspecies collaboration, as birds, elephant seals and even the little krill contribute to a happy ending, the movie is a lege essays and completing applications. Surprisingly, the thing that upsets me the most about this is not that I had to sacrice my holiday time to write essays that ultimately hold my future in its hands; its the fact that I didnt mind sacricing this time to do it. Last year, I was so upset I had to miss the yearly viewing of the movie Its a Wonderful Life in black and white on television because I had to study for an A.P. U.S. history nal, that I kept dwelling on the fact that I would have to wait a whole year before that showcased their talent as both dancers and pupils of their culture. Suresh, who first opened the Vishwa Shanthi Dance Academy out of her garage, recalls the demand for such classes from the Indian community. Parents wanted their daughters to learn, Suresh said. And although the dance classes are open to boys as well, Suresh explains that boys tend to roll jobs lost between 2008 and 2010, and we still have over 2 million Californians unemployed. Californias unemployment rate has hovered around 12 percent for months and has been stuck above 11 percent since 2009. The states jobless rate is the second highest in the nation, behind Nevada, which had a rate of 13.4 percent in September, the most recent data available. Californias new payroll jobs were spread
him that if I kept going, I would fall down. I just started doing this Baptist hymnal thing. Hmmmmhmmmmhmmmm. I think thats actually what led to the gospel song thats in the movie. AP: It sounds like you had a religious experience right there in the sound booth. Williams: (In an Australian accent.) He had an epiphany right there in Australia! Epiphany? Isnt that a singer? No, thats Tiffany. You do get close to it. There are just these times when youre in the sound booth working together and just really having fun. Being in the same room with people and creating something together is a good thing. AP: It seems like you can do any accent. Which one gives you the most trouble? Williams: (In an Irish accent.) I have a difcult time doing an Irish accent, even now it kind of fades slowly into Scottish. You just have to remember its all sung: What are you d o i n g ? (Expletive) off. stirring, if kind of sappy, endorsement for the good that can result when everyone rows together. The best addition of Happy Feet Two are Pitts Will the Krill and Damons Bill the Krill, who are so engaging they deserve their own buddy-comedy spinoff. When Will decides to swim out on his own to see the world beyond the teaming krill swarm, skittish Bill tags along. They discover to their horror that krill are just munchies for other aquatic life, sending Will on a comic quest to move up the food chain and become a predator himself. The krill interludes are delightful, and the dark, quiet depths through which they swim make a lovely contrast to the bright world of the penguins above. The camaraderie of Pitt and Damon, costars in the Oceans Eleven movies, comes through loudly in their goofy banter, making them highlights of an already stellar voice cast. Williams again does double duty in two I could see it again. But now that I have submitted some of my college applications for Early Action consideration, I am only eager to complete all of the other essays for the college applications. I dont think this is a sign I have lost my holiday spirit. Even though Im still excited for Thanksgiving and Black Friday next week, I have simply matured from last year. This year, I realize there are only more priorities in life as you get older that dont all include relishing in the holidays. I certainly dont intend on being a Grinch lean toward learning an instrument over the dance. Just as not many men go into the ballet unless they have a strong passion, Suresh said. From the tiny classroom of her garage in the San Mateo Highlands to the 90 and counting children she teaches at the Highlands Recreation Center in San Mateo, the Vishwa Shanthi Dance Academy which is also tied among various sectors of the economy, including some in the hard-hit construction eld, which is a positive sign, Bernick said. Steve Levy, an economist with the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy in Palo Alto, said the states urban coastal regions are leading the economic comeback, beneting from the growth in technology, trade and tourism. Job growth has also returned to the Inland Empire, which added 15,200 jobs in the last
You have to be a big fan of U2 and Bono. Its vocal. Its singing. This is actually the best time Ive ever done it. Thank God youre recording this now. AP: As a big technology buff, what gadgets or games are you into at the moment? Williams: Im fascinated by the new iPhone. I bought it and kept trying to use it in France. Siri, what is a good restaurant? (In a robotic voice.) Im sorry, Robin. I cant give locations in France. Why, Siri? I dont know. Its like she was upset with the French or something. They seem to have an attitude I cant understand. Should I look for Germans, Robin? AP: Whats life like for you now that all your children are adults? Williams: Its quiet. I just saw my daughter, Zelda, the other night. My oldest son is married, and my youngest son just went off to college. Its like theyve left the earths gravity, and Im watching them. There he gooooes! Im just so proud. I dont have a college degree, and my father didnt have a college degree, so when my son, Zachary, graduated from college, I said, My boys got learnin! AP: What about your heart surgery? How has that affected how you live your life now? Williams: I learned to appreciate the idea of just taking it a little bit easier. You just have to be a little more present. Its really wonderful. It makes you appreciate everything like breath, and friends and family. Taking it down just a little bit and traveling at the speed of life is a much easier journey. breathlessly manic roles, voicing both Ramon and Lovelace, the colorful penguin who becomes a key disciple of Sven. Azaria, one of the vocal masters behind The Simpsons, extends his reputation as one of Hollywoods top voice stars, giving Sven a gurgling Scandinavian accent thats an absolute hoot. Pink belts out pop songs old and new, cowriting one number, too. Williams, Azaria, costar Common and even Pitt and Damon get in on the singing, the tunes woven cleverly into the themes and action. You have to applaud a group of lmmakers that can take millions of disparate creatures plus songs as different as Queen and David Bowies Under Pressure and the theme from Rawhide and unite them in a rousing, harmonic climax where for one brief Hollywood moment, predators and prey have a common cause. Happy Feet Two, a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG for some rude humor and mild peril. Running time: 99 minutes.

FEET
brought an extra dimension to the screen. The snowy crags and peaks seemed tactile in Happy Feet. In Happy Feet Two, you feel you could reach up and touch them, while the deep blue skies, with their billowy clouds, look real and right outside the window, rather than computer creations projected on a movie screen. With co-stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman out of the picture, Happy Feet Two is a next-generation story that follows the mists-nding-their-place pattern of part one. Once a freak for his tap-dancing skills in a colony where singing was the supreme talent, emperor penguin Mumble (Wood) is part of the establishment now that hoong has joined crooning as a prized gift.

Celebrated annually since 1927, the Bracebridge Dinner transforms The Ahwahnee into a 17th century English manor for a feast of food, song and mirth. The inspiration for this yuletide ceremony was Washington Irvings Sketch Book, which described Squire Bracebridge and English Christmas traditions of that period. The Dinner, an elegant and artistic four-hour pageant of classic carols, Renaissance rituals and entertainment of the Middle Ages, involves more than 100 players creating the roles of the Squire and his family, their servants, the Lord of Misrule and minstrels and other performers. The Ahwahnee Dining Room, which serves as the Great Hall and stage for the festivities, is decked with magnicent wreaths, an elaborate squires table, large banners and traditional Yuletide decorations. The centerpiece is a sevencourse dinner prepared by The Ahwahnees world-class culinary staff. Though the menu varies each year, past years have included Smoked Salmon and Dungeness Crab Timbale; The Peacock Pie; Braised California Pheasant and Chestnut Pithivier; Boars Head and Baron of Beef; Roasted Brandt Beef Tenderloin; and, of course, Plum Pudding and Wassail. Enjoy the feast (and be sure to keep the Lord of Misrule away from your plate). Bracebridge Dinner performances are presented eight times from Dec. 13 to 25. Packages are available with lodging at The Ahwahnee, Yosemite Lodge at the Falls or the Wawona Hotel. Dinner only tickets are also available. For information or reservations visit YosemitePark.com/Bracebridge or call (801) 559-4904. AHWAHNEE SIGNATURE RECIPES. Overseeing the Bracebridge Dinner and The Ahwahnee culinary operations generally is Executive Chef Percy Whatley, who has served Yosemite for more than 15 years. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, Whatley loves to interact with his guests in The Ahwahnee Dining Room and happily shares Ahwahnee signature recipes, including Ginger Poached Sacramento Sturgeon with Sticky Rice Cake, Baby Choy and Lemongrass Chili Emulsion; Mustard Crusted Seabass; Rock Shrimp Capellini Cake; and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Fiscalini Farms Cheddar Cheese Soup.

Myanmar responds to Obamas offer of peace

By Matthew Lee and Ben Feller

Actress Natalie Wood portrays character Maria and actor Richard Beymer plays Tony in scene from 1961 lm West Side Storyin this undated publicity photograph.
WASHINGTON In a historic opening to isolated Myanmar, President Barack Obama finally found a taker Friday for his Inauguration speech offer to extend a hand to rogue states if you are willing to unclench your st. The U.S. sees Myanmar as responding to the three-year-old offer of engagement, a major shift for the former military-run dictatorship long under Chinas protection and inuence. Sealing better relations, Obama announced he would send Hillary Rodham Clinton for what would be the rst visit by a U.S. secretary of state in more than 50 years. China immediately responded with a veiled warning to its smaller, weaker ally not to get too close to
Washington. Obama said of Myanmar, After years of darkness, weve seen ickers of progress in these last several weeks. He announced Clintons trip on the sidelines of a summit in Bali, Indonesia, of East Asian leaders, including Myanmars President Thein Sein. The U.S. president noted the release of political prisoners, the easing of media restrictions, a tentative opening of the political system and a dialogue between the government and pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose political party has agreed to register and participate in elections. For Myanmar, also known as Burma, better relations with the United States may mean muchneeded investment and market opportunities.
Natalie Woods case reopened

By Anthony McCartney
LOS ANGELES The circumstances of Natalie Woods drowning death nearly 30 years ago remain one of Hollywoods alluring mysteries and continue to create renewed intrigue, with homicide detectives unexpectedly reopening a case Thursday that had long been classified as a tragic accident. A Los Angeles County sheriffs detective will speak to reporters Friday about the decision to take another look at the Oscar-nominated actress nighttime demise in the chilly waters off Southern California on Nov. 29, 1981. Wood drowned after spending several hours drinking on Catalina Island and a yacht with husband Robert Wagner, fellow actor Christopher
Walken and the ships captain. Sheriffs spokesman Steve Whitmore said Thursday the renewed inquiry was prompted by unspecified new information about Woods case. The Los Angeles Times quoted Sheriff Lee Baca as saying recent comments by the captain, Dennis Davern, who was interviewed for a book project and whose comments from a 2000 article by Vanity Fair are being featured on a new print edition and a 48 Hours Mystery episode that focus on Hollywood scandals. In the magazine, Davern is quoted as saying that Wood and Wagner fought in their cabin before the actress went missing. Coroners officials ruled her death an accidental drowning, perhaps caused by her slipping off the boat while trying to tie down a dinghy. Woods death sparked tabloid
speculation that foul play was involved, but Wagner and Woods sister have dismissed any suggestion the actress death was anything more than an accident. Coroners officials at the time agreed, writing that Wood was possibly attempting to board the dinghy and had fallen into the water, striking her face. It is not the first time Davern has contradicted statements he and others made to investigators after Woods death, and the magazine notes that he has told his story through tabloids and has been shopping for a book deal for years. Attempts to reach Davern were unsuccessful Thursday night. Sheriffs officials are also hoping for tips from the public that may shed new light on how Wood, who was afraid of being in the water, ended up drowning.
Syria OKs observers in principle, 16 killed

By Zeina Karam
BEIRUT Syria agreed in principle Friday to allow dozens of Arab observers into the country to oversee a peace plan, a signicant concession from a hardline regime that loathes any sort of outside interference. But critics said the regime is only stalling, trying to defuse international pressure while continuing its bloody crackdown on an 8-month-old uprising which the U.N. estimates has killed more than 3,500 people. The acceptance came after surprisingly heavy pressure from the Arab League, which brokered the peace plan and this week suspended Syria from the 22-member organization for failing to abide by it. On Wednesday,
the league gave Damascus three days to accept an observer mission or face economic sanctions. Further international pressure was mounting on Syrian President Bashar Assad. Britain appointed a senior diplomat to be its pointman in dealing with Syrias opposition over the crisis, and French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe called on the U.N. Security Council to strengthen sanctions against Assads regime. However, Russia, which holds veto power in the council, urged caution in moving against Damascus. Violence has escalated in Syria the past week, as army dissidents who sided with the protests have grown more bold, ghting back against regime forces and even assaulting military bases.

similar stories of willingly taking on additional duties as employees retired and their position remained unlled. Multiple speakers also pointed to a willingness to forgo promised raises when asked. Unfortunately, the cuts being requested would be too much for many of the employees, they said. Richard Holtz, vice president of AFSCME 2190, explained the current staff has been reduced but continues to maintain the same level of service. In the parks division, for example, the crew has been reduced 42 percent since 2002 to seven individuals but the expected work remains. The city has not received a drop in service. Employees have stepped up to the plate to shoulder ever-increasing tasks working through breaks and lunches. I surmise they do this because they love their jobs and our city, he said. Our union is in contract negotiations, facing cuts to benets which equate to a loss of income for our employees. If these cuts go through, I believe, these employees may lose some of their zest. Nick Hackleman, a public works employee who works in the water department, said he is fortunate. As a single man, no one else depends on his paycheck. Thats not the case for many of his colleagues. A lot of the guys I work with have families and I see these people struggling, he said. Hackleman continued that these are employees who answer 3 a.m. phone calls to deal with a ooding issue or a fallen tree. We do this job not because were going to get rich. ... We do it because of the type of work we get to do in this city, he said. Numerous employees spoke of willingly working extra to pick up the slack in recent years. A handful even moved to Burlingame and applied, with pride, to work for the city they love. Kristian Sojda, a 17-year employee, said giving up the previous raises meant losing the equivalent to a tank of gas per pay period. Proposed cuts would mean losing an additional tank or more per pay period. I wont say we work any harder than any other group, but cuts will hurt our groups very, very much. We are the lowest paid, he said. AFSCME representative Sharon McAleavey stressed the employees were not against changes but thought the citys initial request went too far. Negotiations with other employees are ongoing as well. On Monday, the City Council will consider a tentative three-year agreement with the Burlingame Association of Middle Managers and Department Head and Unrepresented Employees, which will run from Jan. 1, 2012 through Dec. 31, 2014 and creates a two-tier retirement system. New hires will be offered 2 percent at 60 retirement formula. The plan also increases the contribution from current employees into their retirement, calls for a 1 percent pay increase starting in January 2014 and eliminates the payout of limited sick leave, according to a staff report by Human Resources Director Deirdre Dolan. Dolan explained the agreement, if approved, would match with the City Council request to keep the annual growth of employee costs to 2 percent to 2.5 percent. The Burlingame City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 21 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road. municating research results and feedback with middle school staff, parents and the board and creating a new system. Such a system should be piloted in the 2013-14 year with districtwide implementation planned for the following year. Since the standards-based report card debuted, parents and teachers have shared frustration over the number/letter system calling for an easier to follow, letter-centric system that could be enhanced by notes about meeting standards. Under the number grading system, students earned marks of 1 through 4 with 1 symbolizing below standard and 4 meaning the student exceeds standards. Report card implementation began in the elementary school during the previous school years. Parents argued the numeric system was confusing to not only them, but also their children who were not motivated by it.

CUTS
Were not talking about cutting back on discretionary funding; were talking about guys who are in trouble covering the basic costs of life, he said. Mayor Terry Nagel thanked the employees for their hard work but also said the city faces numerous nancial challenges like funding the previously-promised employee retiree benefits and capital projects like the Broadway overpass. What has been proposed is a compromise that would have you giving a little bit more and we would continue to fund the benets. This is not going to break the bank for you nor will you lose your jobs, said Nagel, who added it should allow the city to get a handle on its scal problems. City Manager Jim Nantell agreed. We strongly agree that we have wonderful, dedicated employees and appreciate what they continue to do for this organization, he said. I think the council though, in the last year, did very prudently adopt a business-like plan to avoid the pitfalls weve fallen into in the past. In recent years, the Burlingame City Council decided to use revenue that assumed a 2 percent annual increase, which matched the annual average over 10 years. Last year, the citys revenue exceeded that by about $3 million, said Finance Director Jesus Nava. In addition, the city underspent its general fund by $883,000. Additional money, as directed by the City Council, is put into reserves. By the end of this fiscal year, Nava projects Burlingames reserves will be about $10.3 million. Vice Mayor Jerry Deal explained the budget is at the same level it was about 10 years ago. Also, with large looming capital projects, said it would be sinful to spend the increased revenue rather than save it for the unfunded liabilities. Councilwoman Ann Keighran said the council was in a tough position. It has had years of cuts and is now attempting to create conservative, long-term nancial plans which include building revenue. This is not a short-term solution. We have to look at this as a long-term solution. Its not just you guys. Its everyone in the city were looking at, she said. Councilwoman Cathy Baylock added the challenge is not just about funding the current retiree costs, but also planning for current employees. Current revenue simply doesnt support the benet structure, she said. Employees noted the citys recent success in raising sales tax and wooing businesses. An economic boost also allowed for the city to build its reserves more quickly than originally anticipated a move Stephens applauded. At the same time, such growth, Stephens argued, meant the city didnt need to ask for such drastic cuts. He encouraged conservative budgeting but also supported offering a living wage to hard-working employees, which could mean cutting more from those with a higher wage. About 30 people attended the special meeting held at the library, many of whom were represented by one of the two unions. All had

North Shoreview K-8 Montessori School will have letter grades and a check mark next to the standard to indicate mastery of a subject, according to a report by Superintendent Cynthia Simms. During the 2012-13 school year, a representative group of two middle school teachers and two parents from each middle school and North Shoreview, middle school principals and district administrators with differing perspectives regarding the standards-based report card will work together to create a districtwide solution. The group will have multiple goals such as modifying the report card system as needed, researching best practices for the student reporting system, discussing possible options with principals and counselors in the San Mateo Union High School District, com-
