An elderly woman facing foreclosure and a group of her supporters stormed a Chase Bank branch in downtown Redwood City yesterday afternoon demanding a loan modication. The action may have worked, as Gloria Takla, 72, said she was able to fend off the looming sale of her home next week at least until February. The group claimed victory after occupying the banks lobby for more than an hour. About 30 Occupy sympathizers tried

SEATTLE The Occupy Wall Street protests are moving into the neighborhood. Finding it increasingly difficult to camp in public spaces, Occupy protesters across the country are reclaiming foreclosed homes and boarded-up properties, signaling a tactical shift for the movement against wealth inequality. Groups in more than 25 cities held
protests Tuesday on behalf of homeowners facing evictions. In Atlanta, protesters held a boisterous rally at a county courthouse and used whistles and sirens to disrupt an auction of seized houses. In New York, they marched through a residential neighborhood in Brooklyn carrying signs that read Foreclose on banks, not people. Southern California protesters rallied around a family of six that reclaimed the
A group of local youth will be at Pearl Harbor today to help mark the 70th anniversary of the Dec. 7, 1941 attack.

Is a downtown plaza worth replacing a lot full of existing parking? How much retail space or housing is desired? Will constructing the proposed project create undesirable impacts? Will urban-seeking residents be drawn to an alternative to a

1941
The Imperial Japanese navy launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as part of a plan to preempt any American military response to Japans planned conquest of Southeast Asian territories; the raid, which claimed some 2,400 American lives, prompted the United States to declare war against Japan the next day.

Baekeland received a U.S. patent for Bakelite, the rst synthetic plastic. In 1911, China abolished the requirement that men wear their hair in a queue, or ponytail. In 1946, re broke out at the Winecoff Hotel in Atlanta; the blaze killed 119 people, including hotel founder W. Frank Winecoff.

In 1987, 43 people were killed after a gunman aboard a Pacic Southwest Airlines jetliner in California apparently opened re on a fellow passenger, the pilots and himself, causing the plane to crash. In 1993, gunman Colin Ferguson opened re on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train, killing six people and wounding 19. (Ferguson was later sentenced to a minimum of 200 years in prison.)

How does one pay homage to Will Rogers? Rope tricks, songs and lots of fun will be included in the Hillbarn Theatres production of The Will Rogers Follies, which opened last weekend. And, depending on which night one goes to the show, theres another special treat in the production a local celebrity. Three local celebrities Mayor Art Kiesel, Police Chief Craig Courtin and Jon Grant, president of the Foster City Rotary Foundation will each take on the role of Wiley Post, normally played by Paul Hale, during one performance of this weekends production. Each of the men will be taking the stage for the first time. While the part only has about four lines, each seems to fear forgetting what needs to be said. Kiesel, a subscriber to the Hillbarn productions, was surprised when Executive Producing Director Lee Foster asked him to participate. I said, huh? Youre talking to someone

Songs Never Met a Man I Didnt Like and Give a Man Enough Rope are memorable examples from the show. Courtin, who is set to make his stage debut Dec. 9, will be kicking himself if he flubs his lines. Especially since one of his sons, Ryan, played the part of Rogers while attending San Mateo High School in 2004.

Local briefs
Water main breaks in San Mateo
Three homes had minor flooding and more than 20 homes were without water for up to 10 hours yesterday as a water main broke in front of 217 Santa Clara Way in the San Mateo/Glendale Village neighborhood of San Mateo. At approximately 12:14 p.m., the water main broke and displaced a private driveway and part of a sidewalk. Cal Water was able to turn off the water within 10 minutes. The three homes had minor flooding in their garage and one driveway was severely damaged, according to the San Mateo Fire Department.
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco is preparing its world-famous waterfront for construction to accommodate the Americas Cup races, starting with the announcement Tuesday that two tenants have agreed to move from Piers 27 and 29. The hub of activity for the upcoming regatta will be at Pier 27, where ofcials are planning to build an 88,000-square-foot cruise ship terminal and walking plaza. Spectators will be able to watch the action on San Francisco Bay from the pier. Teatro ZinZanni is moving from Pier 27 to a spot across the street that is now a parking lot at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and The Embarcadero. Bauers Intelligent Transportation is vacating Pier 27 for Pier 50. This represents a key milestone in our planning to host the 34th Americas Cup, Mayor Ed Lee said at a press conference announcing the moves. Teatro ZinZanni is an iconic San Francisco dinner theater that employs about 100 people, several of whom appeared in costume and posed with the mayor after the announcement was made. Bauers is a car service employing 200 people. The mayor said the city is still working on relocating 68 other tenants who will be displaced by the Americas Cup and planned cruise ship terminal.

Administration defends high-speed rail

Poll finds voters would reject high-speed rail in new vote
By Chris Cooney
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
By Kevin Freking
If a bond measure to construct a high-speed rail system were put on a California ballot today, the states voters would reject it by 59 percent, according to the results of a new Field Poll released Tuesday. The results highlighted a significant change in voter sentiment since November 2008, when Proposition 1A passed with more than 52 percent of voter approval and successfully established Californias High-Speed Rail project. Proposition 1A provided $9 billion for the planning and initial development of the high-speed train system that would eventually connect San Francisco and Sacramento with the Central Valley, Los Angeles and San Diego. When voters approved Proposition 1A, the California High-Speed Rail project had a total price tag of $43 billion and a
projected completion date of 2020. In November, the High-Speed Rail Authority released a revised draft business plan that more than doubled the eventual cost and duration of the construction phase, estimating it would cost $98 billion to build and take until 2033 to complete. Nearly two out of three of the voters who took part in the Field Poll stated they would support the legislature putting the bond measure back on the ballot for another public vote. By an almost two-to-one margin or 59 percent to 31 percent voters said they would reject highspeed rail, according to results. The poll also found that 37 percent of voters who approved Proposition 1A in 2008 would change their vote to no if the bond measure came on the ballot again. According to poll results, 73 percent of Republicans would vote against high-speed rail compared to 49 percent of Democrats.
WASHINGTON Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood strongly defended the federal governments nearly $4 billion investment in high-speed rail in California, even as growing expenses and a longer timeline for completion have raised doubts in Congress. During a congressional hearing Tuesday, LaHood acknowledged that the project will be expensive, with current estimates putting the cost at nearly $100 billion over 20 years. Still, LaHood called the project essential. We wont be dissuaded by the naysayers and the critics, LaHood said. Rep. John Mica, the Republican chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said California once represented the nations best hope for developing high-speed rail, but he was concerned the project was in disarray. When state voters approved bond funding for high-speed rail in 2008, initial cost estimates came in at $43 billion. But a new business plan released last month more than doubled that estimate. As part of the economic stimulus legislation that Congress passed in
2009, lawmakers set aside about $8 billion for high-speed rail projects around the country. Some Republican lawmakers opined that the money was spread too thin and that it would have been better to tighten the focus. In particular, some GOP lawmakers said it made the most sense to focus in the Northeast where the population density is higher than anywhere else in the nation and where high-speed rail could tie into already existing commuter rail systems. If were really serious, nd one place, do it right and then take it to other corridors, said Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Penn. LaHood chafed at the recommendation. We wont just invest every dollar in one part of the country. Its just not fair, LaHood said. LaHood acknowledged that many details are unknown about where states and communities will come up with the money they need to bring high-speed rail projects to completion. He said that when President Dwight Eisenhower embarked on a national interstate system, not every route had been mapped and not every cost estimate had been completed. He said other nations such as China are spending enormously on high-speed rail.
We used to be the leader, if we dont catch up here pretty quick, were going to be in second place, LaHood said. Rep. Jeff Denham, a Republican from California, tried to pin down LaHood on where the money will come from to pay for the California high-speed rail system, which would extend from the San Francisco Bay area to Los Angeles and Anaheim. He said support has faded because of the lack of specics about who will put up the tens of billions of dollars that will be needed to complete construction. Without identifying them, LaHood said there were private investors who are interested in helping fund high-speed rail. He promised to give Denham more specics, but did not do so at the hearing. Its going to take private investment. Theres no doubt about that, LaHood said. Shuster said he did not believe that the California project was viable. He also urged the administration to focus more on improving rail connecting Los Angeles to San Diego rather than from Los Angeles to San Francisco. LaHood replied that the shape of the proposed high-speed route came from people in California who had been working on the project for 15 years.

Obama: Middle class in trouble

By Ken Thomas and Ben Feller

FAA chief resigns after drunken driving arrest
WASHINGTON FAA administrator Randy Babbitt resigned Tuesday as head of the Federal Av i a t i o n Administration following his arrest over the weekend on charges of drunken driving. Babbitt was about halfway Randy Babbitt through a veyear term. Deputy FAA Administrator Michael Huerta will serve as acting administrator. Industry ofcials and lawmakers said they expect Huerta to continue in the post through next year since the White House probably will want to avoid a possible nomination ght before the presidential election. In recent months, Huerta has been leading the FAAs troubled NextGen effort to transition from an air trafc control system based on World War II-era radar technology to one based on satellite technology. Huerta was managing director of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and held several senior transportation department posts during former President Bill Clintons administration.
OSAWATOMIE, Kan. Declaring the American middle class in jeopardy, President Barack Obama on Tuesday outlined a populist economic vision that will drive his re-election bid, insisting the United States must reclaim its standing as a country in which everyone can prosper if provided a fair shot and a fair share. While never making an overt plea for a second term, Obamas offered his most comprehensive lines of attack against the candidates seeking to take his job, only a month before Republican voters begin choosing a presidential nominee. He also sought to inject some of the long-overshadowed hope that energized his 2008 campaign, saying: I believe America is on its way up. In small-town Osawatomie, in a high school gym where patriotic bunting lined the bleachers, Obama presented himself as the one ghting for shared sacrifice and success against those who would gut government and let people fend for themselves. He did so knowing the nation is riven over the question of whether economic opportunity for all is evaporating. Throughout the country, its sparked protests and political movements, from the tea party to the people whove been occupying the streets of New York and other cities, Obama said. This is the dening issue of our

time, he said in echoing President Theodore Roosevelts famous speech here in 1910. This is a make-or-break moment for the middle class and all those who are ghting to get into the middle class, Obama said. At stake is whether this will be a country where working people can earn enough to raise a family, build a modest savings, own a home and secure their retirement. For Obama, saddled with a weak national economic recovery, the speech was a chance to break away from Washingtons incremental battles and his own small-scale executive actions. He offered a sweeping indictment of economic inequality and unleashed his own brand of prairie populism. He spoke for nearly an hour to a supportive audience, reselling his ideas under the framework of building a nation where were all better off. Billed as an important address that would put todays economic debates in context, Obamas speech seemed a bit like two packaged into one. The rst was that of the campaigner, full of loft and reclamation of American values. The second was the governing Obama, who recited his familiar jobs agenda, his feud with Congress over extending a Social Security tax cut, even his ght to get his consumer watchdog conrmed.
Arrests at the Mexican border continue to drop

WASHINGTON Arrests of illegal immigrants along the U.S. border with Mexico are at the lowest level since the Nixon administration, indicating that fewer people are attempting to cross the border to live or work in the United States. The development could change the debate on illegal immigration from securing the border to handling the people who are already here. Its the sixth straight year apprehensions have dropped. Increasingly the problem is the 11 million people (in the country illegally), rather than the border itself, said Demetrios Papademetriou, president of the Migration Policy Institute, a non-partisan research organization. In the scal year that ended Sept. 30, Border Patrol arrested 327,577 people trying to cross the southern U.S. border. Meanwhile, Immigration and Customs Enforcement ofcials deported a record 396,906 people over the same period.
Children giving shorter Christmas lists in recession

By Martha Waggoner
RALEIGH, N.C. A job for their mom or dad. Money for the heating bill. Food or a place to live. Maybe gloves or boots. More and more, Santas say the children on their laps are asking for less for themselves and Santa is promising less as well. With unemployment stubbornly high, more homes in foreclosure and the economic outlook dim, many children who visit Santa are all too
aware of the struggle to make ends meet. These children understand the conditions around the home when they ask for stuff, said Richard Holden, a 69-year-old Santa from Gastonia, N.C. They understand when there are other children in the family, they need to be cautious or thoughtful of them as well and not ask for 10 to 12 items. Cliff Snider, whos been playing Santa since he was a teenager, agrees. I think the parents are saying,
Its an economic thing. Just list two to three things you really want to have, he said. Parents are trying to encourage the children to be thrifty. And the 64-year-old Snider does his best to help out. When he gets a big-ticket request, he typically responds: Theres an awful lot of children asking for that this year. What else do you want? At the Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School, Santas learn lines like, Wow, thats a big gift. Is there anything else you might like? These days, though, Santas are
having to use it less and less. I think its becoming more popular not to have that long list, said Tom Valent, dean of the Howard Santa school in Midland, Mich., which gets more than 3,000 letters to Santa a year and just graduated its 75th class. Families are teaching their children to be as much of a giver as a receiver. Starlight Fonseca has been teaching her ve children, ages 5 to 14, that were not the only ones who have to cut things back. Were not the only ones struggling.

Allies urge Romney to get tough as Gingrich rises
WASHINGTON Mitt Romneys abovethe-fray campaign style kept him atop the Republican presidential eld for months, but its raising concerns among his supporters now that Newt Gingrich has surged to challenge him. Some Romney backers say their candidate must mix it up more aggressively, with Mitt Romney Gingrich and with reporters, to prove he has the moxie to be the GOP challenger to President Barack Obama. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, particularly caused concerns with his prickly responses in a recent Fox News interview. He needs to show more toughness and willingness to eld questions, party insiders say. The message seemed to resonate with his campaign Tuesday.
Suicide bomber kills 56 in Kabul

By Rahim and Deb Riechmann
Blagos lawyer reads emotional letters from family

CHICAGO After all his claims of innocence and facing years in prison, Rod Blagojevich let his lawyers make an admission that he has so far avoided making that he was, in fact, guilty of public corruption. The former Illinois governor will get a chance to do the same Wednesday, when he is scheduled to address the judge who will Rod decide his fate. Blagojevich Judge James Zagel signaled on Tuesday, however, that he may be prepared to impose a stiff prison sentence, saying he thinks Blagojevich lied when he told jurors that he never tried to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obamas vacated Senate seat for campaign cash or a top job.
KABUL, Afghanistan In Afghanistans rst major sectarian assault since the fall of the Taliban regime a decade ago, a suicide bomber slaughtered 56 Shiite worshippers and wounded more than 160 others Tuesday outside a Shiite shrine in the capital. The body of a woman, clutching a dead child in each arm, was sprawled along a dirt road littered with shoes, bloodstained clothing, hats and body parts after the blast, which took place as a bombing killed four Shiites in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif. A loudspeaker at the shrine blasted a recitation of the Quran as ambulances with loud sirens rushed in to carry away the dead and wounded. Outside a hospital in Kabul, a man sobbing with other relatives cried out Mother! My mother! The Taliban condemned the attack, which was reminiscent of the wave of sectarian bloodshed that shook Iraq during the height of the war there. Suspicion centered on militant groups based in neighboring Pakistan where Sunni attacks on minority Shiites are common. A man who claimed to be from Lashkar-eJhangvi, a Pakistan-based group that has carried out attacks against Shiite Muslims, called various media outlets in Pakistan to claim responsibility for the bombing in Kabul. The validity of the claim could not be determined. Until now, the decade-long Afghan war has largely been spared sectarian violence, where civilians are targeted simply for their membership in a particular religious group. Tuesdays attack suggests that at least some militant groups may have shifted tactics, taking aim at ethnic minorities such as the Hazara who are largely Shiite and support the Afghan government and its Western partners. The Afghan Taliban, who are mostly ethnic Pashtuns and nearly all Sunni Muslims, had been attempting to diversify their ranks,

expanding to areas outside their southern homeland, recruiting some Tajiks and others and forging an alliance with Uzbek militants in the north in an attempt to present themselves as a national resistance movement. Unlike some Iraqi militant groups who consider anybody from the rival community a legitimate target the Taliban have generally refrained from mass attacks against purely civilian targets. They usually focus instead on the U.S.-led coalition, Afghan forces or government ofces, although recently the Taliban have been responsible for a rising number of civilian deaths in smaller attacks, according to a U.N. report. Tuesdays powerful explosion in Kabul was the deadliest attack in the capital since July 7, 2008, when a suicide car bombing at the gates of the Indian Embassy killed more than 60 people. The bomb went off shortly before noon as bare-chested men were beating and cutting themselves with knives and chains to mourn the death of one of their most beloved saints. They had gathered at the Abul Fazl shrine with a blue minaret to mark the holiday called Ashoura, which honors the death of Imam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, in 680 A.D. Black and gray smoke spiraled skyward from the bomb site after the blast. Lifeless bodies were lying on top of one another. Survivors with blood-smeared faces cried for help.
Herniated Disc? Severe Back/Neck Pain? Sciatica?

Spinal Decompression may be your answer to minimizing your chronic pain and restoring better motion and function back to your spine.
At Crossroads Health Center, your Satisfaction is Guaranteed. Let us help you get the quality of life back that you deserve.
y name is Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C., owner of Crossroads Health Center in Campbell and San Mateo. I understand what it feels like to live with chronic back pain. Due to several auto accidents and sports injuries, I have personally suffered from multiple disc herniations in both my neck and lower back and understand rsthand the severe pain and disability that comes with these types of injuries to the point where I was forced to sell all 3 of my practices. I did not want to have spinal surgery due to the high risk; instead I wanted a non-surgical non-invasive therapy that would help me manage my condition. That is when I turned to Spinal Decompression, not as a doctor, but as a patient and it completely changed my life. Within a few months my pain went from severe to mild and I was able to return back to my activities of golf, weight lifting and spending quality time with my family. It has been my mission ever since to share this great new technology with as many people as possible. While non-surgical spinal decompression is a rather new treatment, theres plenty of research to back up its claims. Give us a call and we will send you the studies or visit my website at www.BayAreaBackPain.Com. However its the results we see every day in our ofce that get us so excited about this new non-invasive treatment. Read what a few of our patients are saying. My severe lower back and sciatica pain have been reduced signicantly since receiving spinal decompression therapy. I am now able to walk, golf and do things without pain that I havent been able to do for years. Thank you, Dr. Ferrigno C.M. Allard During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower back pain and spasms, I took anti-inammatory and pain medication, but nothing helped lessen the pain. Physical therapy didnt help. When an MRI showed that I had two degenerative discs, I went through a series of lumbar epidural injections. The rst one helped a tiny bit, but the others didnt do a thing for my pain. The only thing that made the pain and spasms go away was Spinal Decompression treatments at Crossroads Health Center. Four years later and I am still pain-free! Lisa K..
Severe back pain and sciatica puts a halt to any enjoyment in life. But now there is hope . . .
Free Consultation & Examination

The long saga of the Burlingame Drive-In

hen this newspaper launched in August 2000, there was a front-page story on the controversy over a proposed development at the former Burlingame Drive-in site. It was too big. It would create trafc problems. It wasnt the right use for the Bayfront spot. Now, more than 11 years later, a proposal for the site at 300 Airport Blvd. is back for review. Waylaid not by politics, the former proposal fell victim to the dot-com bust and ofce vacancy boom that followed. What a difference a decade makes. Now, cities are keen on revenue producers and such an ofce development would bring jobs, property taxes and new life to the Bayfront, that clearly has seen better days. Still, such a project would have a signicant impact to the specic area north of Coyote Point and to the surrounding community specically the northern portion of San Mateo on the other side of the recently rebuilt Peninsula Avenue overpass. The proposal as it stands now would be for 689,000 square feet of ofce
Editorial
space in two ve-story buildings, one seven-story building and once eightstory building. It would focus on general ofce space or biotech use, an appealing prospect for a city searching for such new businesses. At the time of the initial proposal, the vacant 16-acre parcel was site of grand plans for a 480,000-square-foot ofce building which some contended would not only have severe trafc impacts, but would also change the wind patterns of the popular windsurng spot to the south. A 2003 proposal to allow housing on the Bayshore and at the site didnt get far with most agreeing that such developments would be too far removed from the rest of the city and would change the hotel and light industrial nature of the area. The site has been through years of planning and study and although some may say the land should be reverted back to a drive-in movie theater, the
chances of that happening are nil. The fact that there is a project about to undergo an extensive environmental impact review should be a clear indication there is strong interest in seeing the site developed. What that is, how large and what the impact will be to the surrounding community will be a topic for years to come. The report is available on the citys website. It would be a good idea to take a look at it soon so issues planners and the developer may not have thought of are brought up. This proposal is signicant, and larger that the one proposed more than 10 years ago. The Peninsula overpass reconstruction and auxiliary lane project on Highway 101 is completed. The city of San Mateo is in the midst of a planning process on the future of the Poplar Avenue on-ramp and off-ramp and its impact on that neighborhood. The city of Burlingame is thirsting for revenue. But the question remains: Has the physical and economic environment changed enough in those years to make such a plan acceptable?
A new low
opular culture once mirrored our societys values, but now the reverse is true; popular culture determines societys values to a large extent ... popular culture is pervasive, dominating virtually every part of our lives. Jim Taylor, Ph.D., Your Children Are Under Attack. Ive always enjoyed watching television game shows, especially Family Feud when Richard Dawson and John OHurley were hosts. I managed to stick with it after Steve Harvey took over, though it was increasingly being turned into an opportunity for him to show off his comedic talents. I could handle the loose and sometimes provocative demeanor of Mr. Harvey but with the new season, the looseness often becomes lasciviousness as he and the contestants seem to vie to see who can come up with the most titillating retorts. Family Feud is just a minor example of how our media keeps lowering its standards. But in an attempt to attract more viewers and therefore sell more of its sponsors products, this game show is following the lead of much of the media in pushing the envelope farther and farther. No one seems to care any more about how much such broadcasts not only pollute the minds of children and teens but also degrade the mentality of adults who watch them. Violent, raunchy video games, movies and television have increasingly been allowed to lower standards of decency for the express purpose of catering to the greed and avarice of unscrupulous corporate interests. Our government long ago gave in to big business, special interests and the bottom line. In doing so, it rejected the very values on which our country was founded and has shown only politically expedient concern for our children. Taylor. Much of what is offered on commercial television (sitcoms, reality shows, etc., etc.) vies to appeal to the viewers baser instincts and presents explicit examples of human dysfunction. (Think Jerry Springer!) Viewers dont seem to want to face the fact that the values displayed in the media contribute greatly to the moral status of our nation. For instance, children learn that copulation is just casual recreation (An interesting statistic: Births to teenage moms per 1,000 are 41.6 in the United States. Next highest 11.7 in France). Gratuitous and gory violence is to be expected. Women are depicted as sex objects and materialistic shills and men as idiots. Wealth is everything, and no one is more important than you. All are having their effect on turning a great many Americans into mindless and compulsive consumers of the media and advertised products. A list of all of the shows that exemplify sleaziness would be long. And commercials are not exempt. The traditional ethics and values that built this country like prudence, thrift, honesty, responsibility, decency, dignity, sacrifice and hard work are regularly denigrated and ridiculed on television, in movies and in other media. It would be interesting to know how much this has had to do with the pathetic lack of awareness of any guiding principles of morality among young adults as described by David Brooks in one of his recent columns. As he wrote, The default position, which many of them came back to again and again, is that moral choices are just a matter of taste. Unless we demand higher standards of behavior, there is no hope for this nation to continue to succeed in the way the founders of this country imagined. If we have to have laws to prevent narcissists from engaging in public nudity, so be it. If video game makers must be prevented from producing hideously gory and lascivious products to protect our children from exploitation (and immature adults from wallowing in depravity), then we must. When the producers of television shows become so desperate to draw more viewers that they violate reasonable standards of decency, tighter regulation is in order. The idea that people and corporate interests can carry on in indecent and titillating ways and anything goes because they cry freedom of speech or whatever, is a bunch of nonsense perpetrated by self-obsessed individuals and opportunistic corporations looking to exploit the nave. Youd think that religious organizations and hordes of parents would be carrying on a campaign to demand media with higher standards. As standards of the media keep declining, we are straying farther and farther from the kind of exemplary behavior that our youth can look up to for inspiration and guidance. How low do we have to go before we wake up to this fact? The universe seems bankrupt as soon as we begin to discuss the character of individuals. Henry David Thoreau.

Entitlement
Editor, I would extend holiday greetings to Steven Howard for his holiday message to the disabled elderly in our county facing huge rent hikes (Entitlement letter to the editor in the Dec. 5 edition of the Daily Journal). Mr. Howard compassionately suggests disabled and elderly tenant Mrs. Berg move from her apartment of 30 years this Christmas season because on her xed income she cannot afford to live in her longtime home due to huge rent increases brought about by a new investor maximizing prots. Mr. Howards message is especially timely this holiday season that our elderly parents and the disabled should not expect a compassionate response to the hardships caused by the worst economy in generations. Perhaps Mr. Stevens could convince Mrs. Berg to take Tiny Tim with her to more affordable surroundings. they so far refused to dictate the contents of school lunches. The justication for the interest in these children is that their government medical costs may be more than the cost of the school lunches and military leaders have complained that they may have difculty lling the ranks with healthy cannon fodder. I nd it odd that this author has used up a third of an editorial page to tell us that this dysfunctional Congress can provide better lunches than the local school district or parents. I can nd no statement in our Constitution that gives Congress the power to dictate the contents of school lunches. Maybe the president and Congress should spend their time trying to get the government out of the $15 trillion debt they have gotten us into. 1). When you are parallel parked along a busy street, please look over your left shoulder to see if any bikes are coming. My husband had a brush with death this summer when a vehicle with tinted windows parked on El Camino unexpectedly opened its front door, catching his handlebars and throwing him over the top and into trafc. 2). When youre going to turn right, please dont race ahead of me, and force me to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting you. You can gauge my pace, and see that it will only take you an extra ve seconds or so to stay behind me and turn once Im past the intersection. I applaud Redwood Citys recent improvements on Broadway near Woodside Road to attempt to create a safe space for bicycles going to Summit High School and the many businesses along the Broadway ofce corridor. Lets hope more such efforts that can encourage a larger bicycle presence are in the works for other busy Peninsula roads. How ironic that Margaret Pyes perspective piece appeared on the same day as your front page article bemoaning recent test results showing that only a third of our local school children are passing the statewide tness test.

GOP debates nonexistent dust rule

By Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON The issue may be dust in the wind, but Republicans are still moving to block it. Environmental Protection Agency ofcials have said over and over again that they wont propose new regulations to limit dust kicked up by farm equipment. But anti-regulation sentiment is strong this year on the campaign trail, and real or not, House Republicans are planning to vote this week to prevent such regulations. Republicans and even some Democrats have told farm-state audiences that the EPA is considering a crackdown on farms, despite the agencys public statement in October calling that a myth.
Supporters say they are pushing the bill this week because they want more certainty for the agriculture industry. The House GOP has pushed a host of measures aimed at weakening, delaying or scrapping environmental regulations in recent months, saying they view them as job killers. South Dakota Rep. Kristi Noem, the bills sponsor, says the EPAs assertions dont hold a lot of water for wary farmers. The EPA has been so aggressive on a lot of its policies, so we just want to make sure they cant take any action that can hurt the farm industry right now, she said. Democrats have scoffed at the bill and are calling it a waste of time. Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, joked sarcastically on Tuesday that the bill is critical-
ly important since the EPA has said they have no intention of regulating farm dust. We are once again doing a bill that is not necessary and has no effect, Hoyer said at a news conference at the Capitol. In letters to two senators in October, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said the agency wont expand its current air quality standards to include dust created by agriculture. We hope this action nally puts to rest the misinformation regarding dust regulation and eases the minds of farmers and ranchers across the country, Johnson said then. That didnt stop the opponents message machine. Just a few weeks later, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, who has since suspended his campaign, ran a television ad in Iowa that quoted a farmer saying The EPA wants to regulate dust.
California,Nevada team up in mortgage fraud probes

By Greg Risling
LOS ANGELES The attorneys general in California and Nevada said Tuesday they are partnering in investigations into the mortgage meltdown that crippled the two states with the highest rates of foreclosures in the nation. California Attorney General Kamala Harris and her Nevada counterpart Catherine Cortez Masto said they will combine resources and share information about mortgage fraud probes each have launched in recent months. This strong partnership will allow our states to make an even more concert-
ed effort to hold fraud perpetrators accountable and ensure law-abiding homeowners receive justice, Masto said. Both states were decimated during the economic downturn when housing prices fell and led to a wave of foreclosures. Nevada has the nations highest foreclosure rate while California ranks second. Harris recently subpoenaed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac looking into their lending practices. Masto has indicted two Southern California title ofcers of running a socalled robo-signing scheme to sign and le thousands of fraudulent foreclo-
sure documents in Las Vegas between 2005 and 2008. Talks have been dragging on for more than a year between major U.S. banks and attorneys general from all 50 states over fraudulent foreclosure practices that drove millions of Americans from their homes during the housing crisis. Major banks temporarily suspended foreclosures in October 2010 following revelations of widespread deceptive foreclosure practices by banks. The negotiations have been designed to institute new guidelines for mortgage lending nationwide. It was anticipated to be the biggest overhaul of a single industry since the 1998 multistate tobacco settlement. Internet giants such as Facebook and Google have ignored his demands to screen derogatory material from their sites, so the government would have to act on its own. The dispute highlights Indias continuing difculty in balancing the Internet culture of freewheeling discourse with its homegrown religious and political sensitivities. Government ofcials are upset about Web pages that are insulting to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, ruling Congress party leader Sonia Gandhi and major religious gures.

Bulldogs play well in Cuesta tournament

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Frankie Ferrari Era is upon us. And the initial reports are that the 20112012 Burlingame basketball team couldnt be in better hands. Ferrari burst onto the county basketball scene at the end of last season and it didnt take those who follow basketball very long to realize that, despite his youth and size, the point guard didnt play like a freshman called up to ll a seat on the varsity. Turn the page to this season and coach Jeff Dowd has handed the basketball off to the sophomore and No. 4 has run with it. Youve heard that clich, coach on the oor, and I think in Frankies case, he really embodies it, Dowd said. Hes out there trying to make everybody better. I think he rst looks and as long as he keeps doing this I think were going to be good. He looks to get other guys involved. If youre open, hes going to get you the ball and I think his primary strength is facilitate, to get everyone involved in our offense. Ferrari did that and then some last week with Burlingame opening their new season at the 53rd annual Crusaders Classic at Riordan High School. In that tournament, Ferrari ran the Panthers like someone who has seen extended minutes at the varsity level and not a point guard whos just been handed the keys to the car. It was his play that spear-headed a 2-1 run, ending with the Panthers losing to Righetti in the championship game. For his efforts, Ferrari is the Daily Journal Athlete of the Week. I thought he did a great job of running our defense, Dowd said of Ferraris tournament. Directing players during the ow of the game. It was a great start for the Panthers, who defeated the host Crusaders 61-49. I thought that Riordan game was very important for us, Dowd said. They rolled us in the summer and they scheduled us rst in their tournament expecting to really get after us. And I was very proud of the way the whole team responded, they took that as a challenge and came out, spaced the oor, attacked their pressure and literally cut their pressure up. Ferrari led the Panthers with 21 points on 7for-10 shooting from the oor, including ve 3-pointers. He also pulled down ve rebounds and dished out six assists. Hes denitely got moxie, Dowd said. I think thats his biggest strength. As a coach, DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE its always interesting to see which kids step Only a sophomore,Burlingame guard Frankie Ferraris game belies his age. In three games at up in the important parts of the game. And the Crusader Classic tournament in San Francisco, Ferrari averaged 20 points, 7.6 assists,
The College of San Mateo womens basketball team continues to put together a solid non-conference record early in the 2011-12 season. The Bulldogs advanced to the championship game of the Cuesta tournament in San Luis Obispo over the weekend, falling 54-52 to Barstow in the title game. The Bulldogs won their rst two games of the tournament and are currently 6-3 overall. Were denitely playing well, said CSM coach Michelle Warner. Not only are the Bulldogs winning, theyre doing it their way: relying on pressure defense, team rebounding and solid shooting. The Bulldogs forced Bakersfield into 32 turnovers in the tournament opener, while shooting 43 percent from the eld. They shot 44 percent in the second game against host Cuesta, and had nine players score in a 72-65 win. In the title game against Barstow, CSM struggled with its shooting, nishing with a shooting percentage of just 27. As theyve done for most of the season, the Bulldogs were once again paced by the quartet of Kimmie Fung, Hannan Salah, Chesca Roth and Nicole McDonald. When those four are ring on all cylinders, the Bulldogs can be tough to stop. Fung led the way in the rst two games, scoring 20 against Bakerseld and 22 versus Cuesta. She, along with Roth, was named to the all-tournament team. All told, the foursome was responsible for 52 of the Bulldogs 59 points against Bakersfield, and combined for 40 of the teams 72 against Cuesta. They managed only 40 points against Barstow, but Fung had an off night, nishing with just seven points in the championship game. That was rst game Hannan and Kimmie were off their game at the same time, Warner said. But Chesca and [McDonald] really carried us. While no one likes to lose in the championship game of a tournament, it did allow Warner to see other players try to step up and help ll the void of a teammate who was having an off game. McDonald supplied that in the nals, scoring a team-high 16 points, to go along with three steals, three rebounds, two assists and a block. Roth added 11 points and seven boards in the nals. Roth, a sophomore out of Westmoor, has been a pleasant surprise for the Bulldogs this season. Despite being only 5-3, Roth is playing a wing position, one where she faces the basket. Its a far cry from a high school career that saw her playing center. But after averaging two points and 28 percent shooting last season, Roth has upped her

Burlingame set to host Lions Club Tournament

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Burlingame Lions Club Tournament is not the biggest preseason boys basketball tournament, nor does it draw the biggest names. What it does bring, however, is a tradition that is unmatched by but a few tournaments. The Lions Club Tournament is the longest, continuous running boys basketball tournament on the Peninsula. It began in 1977 and will celebrate its 35th incarnation this week
with rst round games slated for Wednesday afternoon and the championship game scheduled for 8 p.m. Friday night. Burlingame is the three-time defending tournament champion and will begin its quest for its 11th title since 1977 when the Panthers host rival San Mateo 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. The Bearcats are one of six new teams in the eight-team bracket, with Burlingame and Sacred Heart Prep the only holdovers from 2010. Of the eight teams from 2010, ve qualied for section playoffs. Of this years eld, half
qualified for the postseason last season. Joining San Mateo this year are three teams from San Francisco: Lincoln, Marshall and Washington, along with Fremont of Oakland. The only other local squad is Terra Nova reappearing at the tournament. After being a tournament staple for years, Terra Nova did not participate last year. We lost Riordan (this season). They said they might come back next year. Then we lost Aragon, said Burlingame coach Jeff Dowd in response to how he picks teams for the tournament.
They told me early (they werent coming this season) and I put the word out and these were the rst (schools) to respond. Dowd said he has to have the tournament participants set as early as April, May at the latest, to get quality teams to play. Any time after that, and most teams already have their schedules lled. It takes a lot of work, Dowd said. Sacred Heart Prep and Washington both had strong seasons in 2010, with each winning a section title, while Lincoln qualied for the

Bay Cities Bulldogs are Best of the West

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Bay Cities Bulldogs of San Mateo are a team with bark, bite and now, a Best of the West championship banner. The Bulldogs capped off their most successful year in their history last weekend by traveling to Temecula, Calif., and winning the Best of the West Bowl 8-0 against the Murrieta Silverhawks. The win culminates a season that saw the team from San Mateo go 14-1 and allow a total of 30 points on defense. In that championship game, it was the D that once again sealed the deal for the Bulldogs. Like I said, defense wins championships, offense wins games, said Bulldogs head coach Sione Tongamoa. If they cant score on us, there is no way they can win. We might end up in tie, but my defense will nd a way to score. The offense came through this time with the touchdown and thats all we needed to send our Bulldogs back home victorious. Bay Cities found themselves in the game and in a bit of frenzy to collect donations and raise money to
travel down south. The team managed to do so. They rented out vans, some drove with their parents and others ew. And when they hit the eld, Bay Cities showed the pee wee football world exactly what Bay Area football is all about. We owe thanks to the parents for supporting the kids and the community for raising the money, Tongomoa said. It was a great thing for the kids and we came back victorious. It was a great chance for the kids to do something they might never get to do in their lives. Like most of the Bulldogs games, the contest was tight. Tied at zero come halftime, a big defensive stop in the third quarter followed by some great special teams play set Bay Cities up with the ball at midfield. Three plays later, Darrien Elzie carried the rock 12 yards for the games rst and only touchdown. And with a defense like the Bulldogs it was all Bay Cities needed. Offensive line, I cant say much more about the offensive line, Tongomoa said. All year long theyve worked hard, they were able to mold together and get things done.
Earlier, Tongomoa told the Daily Journal that his team didnt have a bunch of superstars, but was composed of 19 kids that were coachable, could play as a team and have bought into his philosophy. My whole philosophy with the kids is, you have to believe in each other. We understand that everyone wants to be a quarterback, a running back, a wide receiver, middle linebacker all those that make the papers and make the headlines. They dont understand that the unsung heroes are the offensive lineman, the D-lineman; it doesnt work without them. Its players like Viliami Helu, Connor Blount, Alec Meredith, Robert Louden, Sione Tongamoa Jr., Jacob Polonski and CJ Fobbs, that are the heart of a this tough Bulldogs team. Without them they wouldnt be getting the yards, the touchdowns, Tongomoa said, adding that hes tried to instill a sense of gratitude towards his unsung heroes from skill players and coaches alike since day one. When that happened during the season, my quarterbacks, my running backs, my receivers were running up and patting them

on the butt, the offensive lineman felt like they were worthy enough to be on the team and felt like, you know what, even though we dont get all the glory, my teammates are saying thank you. The pee wee Bulldogs werent alone in their victory. The Bay Cities Junior Midgets division also traveled south. They lost their regional contest earlier this season, only to have the team from Washington decline their opportunity to play in the championship game. That decision allowed these older Bulldogs to compete against an undefeated team from Poway. And much like their younger friends, the Junior Midgets emerged victorious, winning 20-6.
Heisman or not, Lucks legacy at Stanford sealed

By Antonio Gonzalez
STANFORD Andrew Luck has been a little worried lately. About the outcome of the Heisman Trophy race or what NFL franchise might select him with the No. 1 overall pick perhaps? No, Luck has other priorities at the moment. Stanfords standout quarterback walked into his academic advisers ofce last week concerned about an architecture studio session. Hell need to complete the work to earn his degree in the spring, and Luck seemed nervous that his busy schedule might interfere. He asked, Could you let the instructor know Im going to have to miss a weekend for an OTA or minicamp? said John Barton, director of the Architectural Design Program
at Stanford. Its 20 weeks out, and hes already thinking ahead. Hes already thinking about how his obligations to sports are going to Andrew Luck affect his obligations for class. And its a weekend for crying out loud. Hes probably not even going to have to miss a class. Typical Luck. The most sought-after NFL prospect in more than a decade is traveling to New York again this week, joining Alabamas Trent Richardson, Baylors Robert Grifn III, Wisconsins Montee Ball and LSUs Tyrann Mathieu as Heisman Trophy nalists. While Luck wants to bring the award back to his
beloved university after being the runner-up to Auburns Cam Newton last year, he isnt losing any sleep about the results. Heisman or not, Lucks legacy at Stanford is sealed. Those around the Silicon Valley campus who know Luck best believe his Heisman status shouldnt be in question, either. After four seasons at the prestigious university, theyll remember Luck as the person and player who lifted the football program to new heights, a quarterback who called his own plays, a spectacular student, friend, teammate, roommate, brother and ambassador. Mike Gleeson has watched every Stanford practice and game for 19 years, breaking down each to the core. As the programs video coordinator, Gleeson has shot and sliced countless hours of football. He has never seen anybody like
Luck. Andrew has a way of almost every single practice making me chuckle, sometimes out loud, of the ridiculousness, Gleeson said. He will do stuff that you just shouldnt be able to do, and he does it. And it just makes me laugh because were so spoiled. When the ball hits the ground, 98 percent of the time the receiver drops it. It wasnt a bad throw. Hes not perfect, but you get used to seeing things in a pattern. Even with all the incredible plays Gleeson has witnessed, the moment he remembers most about Luck has little to do with football. During his redshirt freshman season in 2009, Luck asked that the weekly team highlight lm shown Friday nights before games be changed. Andrew just said, Hey, I dont like to be featured so much in the videos. Put the older guys, the sen-
iors, they deserve it more, Gleeson said. Hes just very, very humble. He doesnt like the attention. He doesnt enjoy it. But he does it and he embraces it because he loves this university and hes proud of us. Hed prefer to work hard, do his job and be like everybody else. Luck never has craved the spotlight. With the awards circuit hitting the stretch run, Stanford coach David Shaw called Luck into his ofce, asking the quarterback to nally stop downplaying his role. And Shaw practically apologized to Luck for the program putting on a media blitz for his Heisman campaign. I told him, Andrew, over the next week, were going to talk about you a lot, and youre going to hate every minute. Dont pay attention, Shaw said.

Big East set to add Boise State,four others

By Ralph D. Russo
NEW YORK The Big Easts long-awaited additions are set, with more rebuilding to come. The conference is preparing to announce the additions of Boise State and San Diego State as football-only members and Houston, Central Florida and SMU for all sports as soon as Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press. The ve schools will join in 2013. The person spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because details were still being worked out with the schools and plans for an announcement were being completed. The Big East has been trying to rebuild as a 12-school football conference since Syracuse and Pittsburgh announced they would be moving to the ACC and West Virginia announced it was leaving for the Big 12. TCU also reneged
on a commitment to join the Big East and instead accepted an invite to the Big 12. The Star-Ledger in New Jersey rst reported the Big East was on the verge of making the additions. The Big East has also been pursuing Navy and Air Force as football-only members, but the military academies are not yet ready to commit to the conference, the person said. While the Big East is nally about to expand, its still very much a league in ux. Commissioner John Marinatto has pledged to hold Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia to the league bylaws and keep the schools in the Big East for two more football seasons. Syracuse, Pitt and the ACC have said they would like to move on as soon as possible, but are not challenging the Big Easts rules. West Virginia is. The school has sued the Big East and wants to join the Big 12 in 2012. The Big 12 needs a replacement for Missouri, which next year is headed to the Southeastern
Conference, to have the 10 members it needs to meet the conditions of its television contracts. I think what John Marinatto just did, he should get a substantial raise for what he just accomplished, Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. Getting Boise State. Getting Houston, SMU. I think that is as good of a job for a commissioner with his back against the wall as Ive seen since Ive been in athletics. The teams you lost arent as good in football as the teams youre bringing in. The Big East is in an even trickier situation. It has contract requirements to meet next season, as well, plus it will begin negotiating a new TV deal in 2012. Houston, SMU and UCF play in Conference USA and the notification date for those schools to switch leagues next year has passed. Boise State is in its rst season as a member of the Mountain West Conference, where San Diego State also competes.
CBSSports.com reported Boise State will place its other sports teams in the Western Athletic Conference, a league it left after last season, and that San Diego States other teams will compete in the Big West. It would cost Boise State and San Diego State millions of dollars more to join the Big East in 2012 than in 2013. So the Big East could be headed into next season with three lame duck teams. And even with the upcoming additions, it still does not have 12 teams committed to the league for 2013. The Big East eventually wants to have two divisions of six teams and be able to hold a conference title game. The grand plan is to have Boise State, San Diego State, Houston, SMU and possibly current member Louisville in the west division. The east division would have current members South Florida, Rutgers, Connecticut and Cincinnati, along with UCF.
49ers reach deal for parking near proposed stadium

SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco 49ers removed another major hurdle standing in the way of the teams plans for a new stadium in Silicon Valley. The owners of an amusement park that sits next to the proposed stadium site in Santa Clara announced a deal Tuesday that resolves parking concerns that had bottled up the stadium plan. San Francisco 49ers President Jed York called it an important step in the project. The city of Santa Clara and the team announced last week that they had secured $850 million in funding for the stadium. York is scheduled to meet Thursday with San
Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, who is hoping to make a last-ditch attempt to keep the football team in the city, the San Francisco Chronicle r e p o r t e d (http://bit.ly/sFQb7d ). The mayor said he believes the franchises move to a new stadium in Jed York Silicon Valley is all but assured and that only the NFL could stop it. Its a business decision thats being made here. If someones got hundreds of millions of dollars lying around, we havent seen it, Lee said.
Ohio-based Cedar Fair Entertainment Co., owners of Californias Great America amusement park, had been vocal in its opposition to the stadium proposal and earlier sued the city of Santa Clara for a loss of parking and other reasons. The company in September said it had planned to sell the amusement park to a real estate rm, clearing the way for a new stadium next to the park. But Cedar Fair said on Tuesday that the sale fell through and that it had reached a compromise with the 49ers. Details about the long-term agreement were not released, but Cedar Fair said it now plans to keep operating the amusement park. The deal still needs approval of the stadium authority and Santa Clara ofcials, Cedar Fair said.
This arrangement leads the way to a mutually benecial relationship between Cedar Fair, the 49ers and the City of Santa Clara, said Cedar Fair President Matt Ouimet. York said the combination of an NFL stadium and an amusement park in one spot would offer many entertainment options. Last week, Goldman Sachs, Bank of AmericaMerrill Lynch and U.S. Bank agreed to an $850 million loan for the estimated $1 billion new stadium, the team and Santa Clara ofcials said. The rest of the money would come from the league, local taxes and redevelopment funds. Lee said he hoped the NFL might insist that the 49ers stay in San Francisco and share a stadium with the Oakland Raiders.

ACLU seeks probe after haka dancers pepper-sprayed in Utah

Giants trade pair to Mets for OF Pagan

SALT LAKE CITY The states chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is calling for an independent investigation after police used pepper spray and batons on a group of spectators performing a traditional Maori war dance called the haka after a high school football game in a small Utah town. Ofcers used pepper spray on about a dozen family members, including at least one as young as 4, after the October game in Roosevelt. The group had traveled about 125 miles east of Salt Lake City to watch a relative play his nal game for Union High School. Union lost the game to rival Uintah and nished the season without a victory. Afterward, a group of Polynesian men and boys performed the haka to boost the players spirits. The haka originated from New Zealands native Maori culture and has been popularized by rugby players there who chant, beat their chests and gesture aggressively before matches. It is performed at football
and rugby games around the world. Two ofcers interrupted the dance, using pepper spray and a baton to disperse the group. An internal investigation by Roosevelt police cleared the ofcers of any wrongdoing and said their actions were appropriate because they feared a riot was imminent. To our disappointment, the police departments ndings appear to be anything but objective, the ACLUs Interim Director Joseph Cohn wrote in a letter sent Monday to Duchesne County Attorney Stephen Foote. The ACLU is concerned that the decision to deploy pepper spray during a cultural ritual may have violated the dancers constitutional rights, Cohn writes. He also notes that the police departments report fails to consider a video of the dancers or statements from 15 witnesses who said they did not feel threatened by the dance. Foote was away from the ofce Tuesday and could not be reached for comment. Roosevelt Police Chief Rick Harrison did not return a message. out of an assist than a score. Burlingames run at the Classic game to an end in a 77-69 overtime loss to Righetti. Ferrari had a double-double in the game (16 points, 11 assists), but showed a bit of his youth. Yet, Dowd said there is nothing but upside in his young point guard. Frank is denitely our leader, but we denitely have some guys we can run out there, Dowd said. Defensively we have a ways to go. Hes got great instinct but I think sometimes he paces himself on defense. Offensively though, hes way ahead of where I thought he would be. We still have some questions that still need to be answered about our team, but I think with him and Nick Loew, my two sophomores, theyre two of our best players. But besides that, we go at least 10 deep. Every game, we have a different starting lineup and I expect that to remain the same. Once we hit our stride, well have some guys other than Frank and Nick stepping up. Im very happy where were at now. I think were a little ahead.
The ofcers reports about the Oct. 20 incident in Roosevelt, a town of about 8,000 residents, said some of the dancers had been yelling obscenities at referees during the game, then danced in front of the only exit from the stadium. Ofcer Luke Stradinger apologized in his report for causing discomfort to innocent bystanders, but said he wasnt familiar with the dance and was concerned because the group was blocking the only exit from the eld for the football teams. I have never seen such an event, or even heard of such a thing, Stradinger said. While Stradinger used pepper spray, Ofcer Wade Buttereld used a baton to disperse the group. Buttereld said he became worried during the game because some of the people were yelling obscenities at the referees and acting in an unsportsmanlike manner. I have seen a riot rsthand and know how dangerous they can be in an instant, Buttereld said. No more force was used than was necessary to defuse the situation.
DALLAS People familiar with the deals say the New York Mets have made a series of transactions, trading center elder Angel Pagan to San Francisco and signing free-agent relievers Frank Francisco and Jon Rauch. The Mets are getting outfielder Andres Torres and pitcher Ramon Ramirez for Pagan. The Angel Pagan moves came Tuesday at the winter meetings and were disclosed by people who spoke on condition of anonymity because the three deals havent been announced. Francisco is getting a $12 million, two-year contract while Rauch is receiving a one-year deal.

hes had that moxie ever since Ive seen him play back when he was freshman. Its impressive. He doesnt back down, he plays with no fear. Ferrari followed that big win with another impressive showing, this time against MissionSan Francisco. No. 4 was the only Panther in double-digits, scoring 24 points on 10-for-15 shooting from the eld including another four 3pointers. Despite his high scoring output, Ferrari assisted on seven other Burlingame buckets, once again orchestrating the Panther offense to a nice uidity. Its very uncommon, Dowd said of Ferraris high basketball IQ at such a young age. I cant recall having a player exactly like him who really looks to pass rst. He can put points up on the board. I think he gets just as much satisfaction
LIONS
San Francisco AAA Section playoffs. Someone told me Marshall has a low Division I guy (on their team). No matter what, [the tournament will] be good, Dowd said. For Sacred Heart Prep coach Tony Martinelli, playing in the Lions Club Tournament has become somewhat of a tradition. This will be Martinellis fourth straight year entering his team and he believes it not only serves as a nice tune-up for the upcoming league season, it allows him a chance to see how his team reacts in less-than-ideal conditions. The best thing with tournament is youre playing three teams in a short amount of time and they usually have three different styles, Martinelli said. (The goal is to see) if they
can make game-to-game adjustments without practice time. Thats a good barometer for the kind of team you have. As is usually the case, Burlingame will have the target on its back. The Panthers are the three-time defending tournament champions and have won six of the last eight crowns. Since 2003, only Riordan and Menlo have beaten the Panthers in the nals. The Panthers are no shrinking violet, however. They are not a team that peaks in December, but are perennially a threat to advance to the Central Coast Section championship game. If not for Sacred Heart Cathedral, Burlingame would be a three-time defending CCS champion. If you get to the championship game, youre going to play Burlingame (more than likely), Martinelli said. To play a team like that, in their home gym, its a good test. You know what youre up against. Its a great thing to do at the beginning of the year.

numbers significantly this year. She scored 10 against Bakerseld and 11 against Barstow. More importantly, she averaged six rebounds a game during the tournament. Overall, she is averaging 10 points per game and is shooting just under 50 percent. This year, I (nally) got comfortable with [the position], Roth said. Despite her size, Warner said Roth plays the game with a centers mindset. Shes not afraid to take it in (to the key) and wrestle with the big girls, Warner said.
The Bulldogs played arguably their best game of the season against Cuesta. They shot 44 percent from the eld, had nine of 11 players score and most importantly out-rebounded Cuesta, 32-29. Warner said she would like to see her team pull down 40 rebounds a game and, given the teams mentality, they just might reach that goal. CSM will never have that one player dominate the boards. Warner said she needs everyone doing a job in the rebounding department whether its blocking out or keeping the play alive with a tip to make sure her team grabs the loose ball. Its getting better, Warner said. When we started, everyone waited around for that big girl to come in grab the rebound. Its not going to happen, Warner said. They really work together well as a team (when it come to rebounding). It really comes down to how much you want it, said Salah, who is averaging nearly seven rebounds a game for the Bulldogs. I think weve gotten much better.

($106 million for six), the Marlins interest in Pujols is real. Whats unclear is whether the rst baseman is prepared to go to Miami or whether his talks with the Marlins are an attempt to push the Cardinals higher. I know the ownership group is putting their best foot forward and trying to do everything that they can to make this possible, new Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said, but I also know its a complicated decision on both sides. Theres a lot going on, a lot that Im not even involved in, but I think its clear to say that St. Louis Cardinals would love to have Albert, and well see how it all plays out. Prince Fielder was still in play in the hitters market, and C.J. Wilson and Mark Buehrle were among the available starting pitchers on the second day of the four-day swap session, which has been relatively slow. The Chicago White Sox traded closer Sergio Santos to the Toronto Blue Jays for pitching prospect Nestor Molina, and the Minnesota Twins dealt right-hander Kevin Slowey to the Colorado Rockies for a player to be named. When the meetings reach their last full day Wednesday, roughly two dozen free agents must decide by midnight EST on salary arbitration offers from their former clubs. David Ortiz, who has said he wants to stay with the Boston Red Sox, appeared likely to accept. AL champion Texas planned to meet Tuesday night with Wilson, the chatty left-hander who went 16-7 during the regular season but was 0-3 in October. Were just staying in communication, thats all weve agreed to do, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. We just agreed to stay in touch, keep each other posted and keep a dialogue. Were not holding him up, and hes not holding us up. Reyes deal is likely to be nalized on Wednesday. Miami already has an All-Star shortstop in Hanley Ramirez, and he appears headed to third base.

Marlins trying to buy up the best

Baseball briefs
Bonds attorneys argue for probation sentence
SAN FRANCISCO Barry Bonds lawyersare arguing for probation when Major League Baseballs career homerun leader is sentenced for obstruction of justice later this month. In court papers led Tuesday, Bonds lawyers cite an investigative report prepared for the court by the federal probation department making the same recommendation. Bonds lawyers say the probation department cited Bonds signicant history of charity and said the felony conviction appears to be Barry Bonds an aberration. Bonds is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 16. He was convicted of obstruction of justice after a jury found he misled a grand jury investigating sports doping with an evasive answer about receiving injectable substances from his personal trainer. The recommended punishment for such a conviction is 15 to 21 months in prison.
DALLAS Jeffrey Loria quickly marched down the hallway with his team president, trailed by their top aides, and hustled into a meeting room with a labor lawyer from Major League Baseball. Having already made the biggest splash at the winter meetings, the Miami Marlins owner was trying to reel in Albert Pujols and perhaps other big-name free agents with the newfound riches from their new ballpark. Hes not the only guy, Loria said about 20 minutes later before heading back upstairs on an elevator with his delegation. Baseballs new Big Fish were the talk of the winter meetings Tuesday, with teams wondering how close the Marlins were to an agreement with Pujols on a deal that could be worth $200 million or more over 10 years for the three-time NL MVP. St. Louis said it submitted a new offer Jeffrey Loria Tuesday to keep Pujols with the Cardinals, a team hes already led to two World Series titles in the last six seasons. Traditional big spenders such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox were reduced to spectators. They have a new stadium. Theyre excited about it, and its good for baseball, former Marlins and current Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. They had hoped that theyd get the new stadium and they would be able to do those types of things. Our roster is pretty set. We have a lot of guys that are on long-term deals. Thats why maybe theres not a lot happening for us. Having already reached deals with All-Star closer Heath Bell ($27 million for three years) and All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes
Terry Francona joins ESPN as baseball analyst

BOSTON When he left the Boston Red Sox, Terry Francona said the players needed to hear from a new voice. ESPN thinks his voice will be an excellent t for its baseball coverage. The network hired Francona to replace analyst Bobby Valentine after he replaced Francona as manager of the Red Sox. The one thing I do know is Ill probably sleep better next year than Bobby, Francona said during a conference call Tuesday. Its probably win-win for everybody and thats the way its supposed to be. After eight years as manager, Francona and the Red Sox parted ways two days after the Terry Francona regular season ended without a playoff berth. The Red Sox went 7-20 in September, but Francona made it to the postseason anyway as an announcer on Fox for the rst two games of the AL championship series. He replaced Tim McCarver, who had a minor heart-related procedure. It was an incredible experience, Francona said. I actually did have fun.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Nobody knows what will come of the Tim Tebow experiment, not even those scrambling ramblers who came before him. Yet it seems like everybody wants to talk about it. Retired QBs who made a living with their legs, and who also turned the NFL on its ear in their day, have strong opinions about whats happening in Denver, where Tebow has led the once lowly Broncos to six wins in his seven starts. Randall Cunningham loves it. Steve Young hates it. Bobby Douglass admires it. While they debate whether Tebow can morph into a prototypical pocket passer, theyre all pulling hard for the Broncos quirky quarterback who dees his messy mechanics and awed footwork with grit and last-minute magic. I think what we all ought to do is enjoy the circus while its in town, suggests another former NFL quarterback, Joe Theismann. Tebow has brought the option back to the NFL and while he usually struggles for much of the day to move his

team downeld, he keeps coming up big in crunch time, guiding the Broncos to second-half comeback wins against the Dolphins, Jets, Raiders, Chargers and Vikings since taking over as the starter two months ago. On Sunday, he won a shootout in Minnesota, propelling the Broncos (75) into a rst-place tie with Oakland atop the AFC West. Youve got Aaron Rodgers, youve got Drew Brees, youve got Tom Brady that set a standard of excellence in football that we havent seen, said Theismann, now an NFL Network analyst. What makes 2011 so unique is we have seen quarterback play in this league at such a high extreme and in Tims case, the bottom rung when it comes to completions. And yet the Broncos are also in the playoff hunt in this pass-happy league because of an old-fashioned formula based on stout defense and a strong ground game. That defense is as good as any in football right now, Theismann said. The offense doesnt turn the ball over. Theres been one interception in seven games. I say this tongue-in-cheek: The way Tim throws the ball sometimes, nobody has a shot at getting it, his guy, the defenders. Its either bounce it in

the ground or throw it in the third row. Tebow is completing just 48 percent of his passes. And whats his winning percentage? retorts Cunningham. Its 85.7 percent, second only to Rodgers, whose Packers are perfect at 12-0. Still, Broncos boss John Elway wont publicly commit to Tebow for 2012 and beyond. Coach John Fox, who told NFL.com last month that Tebow would be screwed if they were running a conventional offense, is living in the moment, not focused on the future. The guys wins.How can you not be a fan of that? Fox said. He does it with his feet, with his arm, just with his competitive greatness, really. Thats what youre looking for in a quarterback. The Broncos have decided not to try to x Tebows throwing troubles now but try to accentuate what he already does well, which is running a ball-control, low-risk, no-frills offense heavy on the option while sprinkling in some downeld passes. Hes in a sweet spot right now, said Young, but I dont know if its developing him to go do it long-term in the NFL.

Keep wine choices fun, frugal for holiday scene

By Michelle Locke
The best wines for holiday parties are like good hosts, accommodating enough to handle a variety of scenarios, but with enough personality to keep everyone entertained. What bottle will best suit your occasion? As with most things about wine theres no single answer, but here are a few suggestions on how to get the party pairing right. DONT pull out that obscure bottle thats been gathering dust in your cellar, says Mary Gorman-McAdams, a New York-based Master of Wine and consultant to the daily deal wine site VITIS.com. Unless, of course, the party is for a (small) bunch of fellow wine geeks who are likely to show up clutching dusty bottles of their own. For more mixed gatherings, pulling out a challenging wine is liable to slow things down. Holiday gatherings are about fun, people chatting together and not about a wine that demands all of your attention, says Gorman-McAdams. DO be prepared to try something a little bit different. Love chardonnay? Maybe try a chardonnay-viognier (another white grape) blend. Big fan of big reds? A Cotes du Rhone from France or malbec from Argentina are good choices. The good news on malbec is that you can get a nice bottle for $12 to $15. I have to say I havent really met a malbec I dont like, says Gorman-McAdams. Another possibility, especially this time of year, is Beaujolais, the youthful reds from France that are known for their fruity punch and are often to be found for $10 to $20. DONT overspend. It doesnt have to be expensive to be a great bottle of wine, says David ODay, wine director for the Dallas-
What bottle will best suit your occasion? As with most things about wine theres no single answer.
based Del Friscos Restaurant Group. Im not buying $50 to $75 wine when people come over. Gorman-McAdams agrees, recommending two wines offered at a discount by VITIS, the 2008 Domaine des Nugues Fleurie, Beaujolais Cru, available for $16, and the 2007 Grant Burge Barossa Vines Chardonnay, from Australias Barossa Valley, for $10. Most wine shops and grocers will offer similar bargains. DO look for crowd-pleasing wines, like sparkling wines, rose and riesling. Were a diverse crowd, we have a lot of different palates, says ODay. In the holidays, I always have my go-to wines. Ill have some lighter, crisp whites, some sauvignon blanc and some riesling, and I always have some sparkling. The ladies in my family love rose, so I always have a nice rose on hand. For the reds, he also likes malbec, as well as Chauteauneuf du Pape from France and pinot noir. DONT be afraid to ask for help. Finding a $50 bottle of wine that tastes good isnt so
hard. Finding a great $10 to $15 bottle may require the aid of a helpful staffer at your local wine shop. Just let these people know what you want: Im looking for a sparkling wine in the $15 to $20 range and Id like three different options, says ODay. They know what they have in stock; they know what youre looking for. Dont get caught up in being upsold. If you want something in the $15 to $20 range, you can stick to that range. Even though hes an expert responsible for creating the wine lists for all 31 restaurants in the Del Frisco chain, including nine Del Friscos Double Eagle Steak Houses and 20 Sullivans Steakhouses, ODay isnt above taking his own advice. He often goes to wine shops incognito and says something along the lines of, Im looking in Chile and Argentina, what do you feel are your three best values in red and maybe a couple in white. DO give some thought to presentation. Whites should be cool, but not icy. If youre serving whites, an ice bucket is a nice extra, but not essential. I like to have an ice bucket, especially the sparkling and the whites, but with my crew the wine doesnt really last long. Were popping and pouring, says ODay. Reds shouldnt be cold, and if you have a decanter, thats a step worth taking even for wines that are $8 to $10. Every wine will benet from the aeration process, says ODay. Its a nice touch. It looks great. Its festive and fun around the holidays. DONT obsess about searching out the perfect pairing. If you end up over-focusing on the wine, youll end up being disappointed, says Gorman-McAdams. Its really about the people and having fun and talking. Its a much easier task than people think.

s though the candy canes on the tree and the presents under it arent enough, heres an excuse to have an even sweeter start to Christmas. Cinnamon buns were the inspiration. And while on their own they make a delicious breakfast, I wanted to take them a little further. So I chopped them up, drenched them in eggs and milk, then baked them into an insanely delicious (and simple) bread pudding. To keep this recipe from becoming entirely heart stopping, I used fatfree half-and-half (skim milk is ne, too). If you wanted, you also could use liquid egg substitute (egg whites)

Arrange the chunks in an even layer in the prepared baking pan. Pour the egg mixture over the pieces of cinnamon buns. As you pour, use a fork to gently press on the bun pieces to help them absorb the liquid. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly puffed and starting to brown. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, water, vanilla and remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. To serve, drizzle the bread pudding with the glaze, then cut it into 12 squares.

Beef Wellington that wont stop your heart

or Christmas this year, I didnt ask Santa for a new sweater, tie or even my two front teeth. I just wanted a richly satisfying holiday dinner that wouldnt make me gain weight. One of my solutions was a downsized beef Wellington. Traditionally, this dish is a llet of beef covered with pate, a sauteed mushroom mixture known as duxelles, then enveloped in buttery puff pastry and baked in the oven. Total heart attack material. Beef Wellington is a dish with a story. It was named for the Duke of Wellington, a national hero for defeating Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. The Duke loved a certain dish prepared from beef, mushrooms, truffles, Madeira wine and pate cooked in pastry. It later was renamed in his honor. So I decided to create a version that would t into todays healthy, lose-weight lifestyle. It took many attempts to get it right, but it was worth it. The result will impress you. So will the numbers. Traditional beef Wellington has 57 grams of fat and 744 calories per serving. My version has just 11
grams of fat and 328 calories. My recipe is a nice alternative to the traditional prime rib that is served for many holiday dinners. The tenderloin is a lean cut of beef, so you can save calories and fat right there. I also gured out how to use a low-fat pancake mix as a crust instead of fat-laden puff pastry. I used arrowroot to thicken the mushroom sauce, so theres no fat involved, but plenty of high-intensity avor, especially with the addition of jerky. Spinach, which is full of good-for-you nutrients, rests just under the pastry for a decadent look and taste. You can eat and enjoy this dish, guilt-free, and still feel like youre eating something holidayworthy. TIPS: Be sure to specify a center cut
tenderloin at the meat counter so you dont get a roast that contains several pieces of tenderloin pressed together.
BEEF WELLINGTON
Start to nish: 1 hour 15 minutes Servings: 8 32-ounce beef tenderloin, center cut, trimmed of all visible fat Salt and ground black pepper 1/2 tablespoon olive oil 2 cloves garlic, chopped 10 ounces button mushrooms, sliced 1 cup diced yellow onion 2 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 2 egg whites, beaten 1 2/3 cups Bisquick Heart Smart Pancake and Baking Mix 5 chunks dried porcini mushrooms 3/4 ounce beef jerky, nely shredded 1/2 cup Madeira 1 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot powder 2 teaspoons soy sauce
ROCCO DISPIRITO
Heat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Season the beef liberally with salt and pepper. In a large saute pan over mediumhigh, heat the olive oil. When the oil is just smoking, add the beef. Brown on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the beef and place on a rack to rest. Add the garlic to the hot pan and cook until lightly browned, about 20 seconds. Add the mushrooms and onion. Cook until the mushrooms and onions are soft and tender and all of their liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add 2 teaspoons of the thyme. Set aside 1/4 cup of the mushroom-onion mixture. Transfer the rest to a food processor and pulse to roughly chop until reduced to 1/4inch pieces. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Once slightly cooled, add the spinach and egg whites and mix well. In a medium bowl stir the pancake mix with just enough water, about 1/3 cup, to moisten and make a dough that holds together but is not sticky. On a lightly oured sur-
face, roll the dough to a thin rectangle that is 2 inches longer than the beef roast. Place the beef on the dough. Spoon the spinach and mushroom mixture on the top and sides of the beef and pat down tightly. Fold the dough up and over the top of the beef and spinach and crimp the seams together. Place the meat seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cut a few slits in the top to vent. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center of the roast registers 140 F. Remove from the oven, cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place 2 of the porcini chunks in a spice grinder and grind to a ne powder. Place the mushroom powder, remaining whole porcini mushroom chunks and the shredded jerky in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 cups of water. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes, or until the water is simmering. Let sit for 5 minutes and repeat. Pour the Madeira into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil for about 5 minutes, or until reduced by half. Pour

without success for more than 21 months, she said. She bought her home on C Street, near downtown Redwood City, in 2004 with a negative amortization loan she received from Washington Mutual Bank. Her initial mortgage payments were $1,450 a month but the payments have since ballooned to $2,650 a month, out of reach of her xed income. I put my life savings, $150,000, as a deposit on the home. It was all I had, Takla said yesterday. From Germany, Takla believes she is the victim of a predatory lender, considering she is a widow, her limited English skills and advanced age. But Washington Mutual was sold to JP Morgan Chase Bank in 2008 after it essentially collapsed, closing 160 of its 336 home-loan ofces and eliminating 2,600 jobs in 2007. Takla said she had little luck with her local branch in seeking a loan modication after Washington Mutual was sold, ling for a hardship with Chase at least 16 times, she said yesterday. Yesterday, she demanded to speak to a human at the branch who could assist her in seeking a loan modication. Bank employees put her on the telephone with customer service agents as Redwood City police kept the could be housing people. Seattle has become a leader in the antiforeclosure movement as protesters took over a formerly boarded-up duplex last month. They painted the bare wood sidings with green, black and red paint, and strung up a banner that says Occupy Everything No Banks No Landlords. While arrests have already been made in a couple of squatting cases in Seattle and Portland, it remains to be seen how authorities will react to this latest tactic. In Portland, police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said hes aware that the movement called for people to occupy foreclosed homes, but said its difficult to distinguish between the people who would squat in homes as a political statement and those that do it for shelter. The vacant property issue is of concern in cities nationwide, Simpson said. Well treat them all as trespassers. In Seattle, protesters took over a boardedup warehouse slated for demolition last weekend. In an announcement, the protesters said they planned to make the warehouse into a community center, and hosted a party while pushing on the jerky and mushrooms to extract as much liquid as possible. Remove the whole pieces of porcini mushrooms from the strainer and roughly chop them, then set them aside. Discard the jerky. Bring the broth and Madeira mixture to a boil. In a small bowl, combine the arrowroot and 4 tablespoons cold water. Mix well, then add scene calm inside. About 10 protesters simply sat in the lobby while police looked on and Takla was on the phone. Her daughter, Anoushka Takla, also spoke to bank representatives on her mothers behalf. No one was arrested in the incident although some minor scufes did ensue in the bank after protesters stormed the branch. Takla was referred to Ramel Nalus, with Chases Santa Clara Home Ownership Center. He allegedly gave Takla a two-month extension, until Feb. 14, to modify her loan or face foreclosure. Nalus and other Chase ofcials, however, did not return several phone calls by the Daily Journal seeking comment on the story yesterday. Takla and her supporters claimed victory after exiting the bank around 2 p.m. We were able to postpone the sale date only because of the people joining me in the action, she said after leaving the bank. Some of the supporters that joined Takla in the bank protest yesterday included Pastor Sandy Perry, Aaron Castle, Louise Vaughn, Lili Liu and Christy Wong. Liu came from Fremont to support Takla. She was able to recently seek a loan modication with the assistance of the Alliance of the night they opened the building. Police moved in soon after, arresting 16 people in the process of clearing it out. Seattle police spokesman Sgt. Sean Whitcomb said his department sees squatting in private properties as the same violation of trespassing Occupy Seattle made when it camped in a downtown park. Its no different than when people were trespassing (in the park), Whitcomb said. We went nights and days, letting people camp in the park. We relied on education and outreach, rather than enforcing the law to the letter. Atlanta protesters took a more aggressive approach in trying to disrupt the home auction. The auction went on but the whistles and sirens made it difficult for the auctioneers to communicate, said Occupy Atlanta spokesman Tim Franzen. We dont know how many homes we saved for one more month during the holiday season, he said. It was kind of a Christmas gift to the people. In Riverside, Calif., Art de los Santos arrived in a U-Haul with assorted furniture and about three dozen supporters at his forto the simmering sauce.

Californians for Community Empowerment, which helped organize yesterdays march and bank protest in Redwood City. ACCE formed after the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, led for bankruptcy in 2010. Vaughn, a South San Francisco resident, has a daughter going through foreclosure now and joined yesterdays protest to highlight the predatory lending practices that have plagued African-Americans and Latinos. The predatory lenders targeted minorities, Vaughn said. It has also affected renters, she said, who have been evicted because property owners have not been paying their mortgages. People are caught in a nasty net, she said. Another protester, Aaron Castle from San Mateo, said the banks got a $700 billion government bailout and are now taking back the properties, too, for which it approved bad loans. I am here to make noise and for the loving overthrow of the status quo, he said. Other Occupy Our Homes events were held in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Petaluma and Oakley yesterday among 20 others across the United States. The movement is calling for a holiday moratorium on evictions. mer three-bedroom, three bathroom home. He broke the lock and moved back in. Reclaiming his old home is his last resort to get the attention of bank JP Morgan Chase after he applied three times for a loan modification to no avail. Im getting down to my last option, he said. Nothing seems to work. Maybe if I protest, itll get their attention. The home, which was foreclosed on, is sitting empty while he, his wife and four children, aged 11 to 7, are squeezed into an Orange County rental apartment. Hes also renting a storage unit. Its sad because you have all these memories there, said the 46-year-old. My kids were running around the neighborhood on their bikes. Its a nice little community. Tom Kelly, spokesman for JPMorganChase, had no immediate knowledge of de los Santos case and could not comment, but noted that he is trespassing.

Bank managers, employees and security tried to prevent the group from entering the bank but many were able to get in, forcing the bank to lock its doors to customers for more than an hour. Some customers already in the branch, however, continued to do their banking even with a bullhorn blazing in the background and chants of We are the 99 percent. Takla was to have her home sold by the bank next Wednesday, Dec. 14 and decided to take drastic action to occupy the downtown Redwood City Chase branch on Broadway after meeting with supporters at her home at about noon yesterday.

home they lost six months ago in foreclosure. Its pretty clear that the fight is against the banks, and the Occupy movement is about occupying spaces. So occupying a space that should belong to homeowners but belongs to the banks seems like the logical next step for the Occupy movement, said Jeff Ordower, one of the organizers of Occupy Homes. The events reflect the protesters lingering frustration over the housing crisis that has sent millions of homes into foreclosure after the burst of the housing bubble that helped cripple the countrys economy. Nearly a quarter of all U.S. homeowners with mortgages are now underwater, representing nearly 11 million homes, according to CoreLogic, a real estate research firm. Protesters say that banks and financial firms own abandoned foreclosed houses that

unit building. The project plans pose no signicant or unavoidable impacts, according to the DEIR compiled by the firm of Lamphier-Gregory. The air will be temporarily lled with dust and construction vehicle emissions, nesting birds could be displaced by the noise and activity and exposed soils will be subject to erosion. However, all of these potential repercussions could be mitigated to a less than signicant level, the rm found. Other lower-level impacts include adding to trafc jams at the intersections of Holly and Laurel streets and Cherry and Laurel streets. Both could be ameliorated by using an existing trafc signal and added stop signs. The hazardous material PCE could be accidentally released from the dry cleaner at 1249 San Carlos Ave. but threats to proposed buildings or groundwater could be reduced by abatement measures during development. Aside from the preferred project, the public and city ofcials are also offered three alternatives to consider no project at all, the project without the affordable housing component or the project at a lower density with no ofce space above the restaurant and 32 fewer residential units at Wheeler Plaza. Although this last option is the next environmentally superior alternative, it could also undermine funding for the public parking garage by having less below-market rate units. The DEIR was released Nov. 23 and the city is accepting written comments for the subsequent 60 days. A public hearing on the DEIR will also be held at a later date before the Planning Commission and City Council decide whether to adopt or reject the document. The idea, if not any actual plans, for Wheeler Plaza date back to the late 1990s when the redevelopment agency envisioned a parking structure with 60 rich, but organizers of the protests have criticized the governors plan, saying it would hurt students and working Californians who would also have to pay higher sales taxes. Brown also could face several competing tax initiatives from groups that want to raise taxes even higher. A coalition led by California Federation of Teachers and Courage Campaign led a tax initiative seeking to raise personal income taxes only on individuals who make $1 million or more annually. Attorney Molly Munger, the daughter of Charles Munger, a longtime nancial partner of Warren Buffett, is leading a separate initiative that would impose a sliding scale income tax hike to raise $10 billion for California schools. Last month the Think Long Committee for California, funded by billionaire Nicolas Burggruen, proposed a plan to raise $10 billion a year by expanding the sales tax to include services while cutting income taxes. Brown was in Hollywood on Tuesday to help Universal Studios announce plans to build a new Harry Potter attraction that ofcials say will create more than 1,000 jobs. His spokesman, Gil Duran, said the governor hasnt had a chance to review the competing ballot measure proposal. The governor released an open letter to the people of California saying he wanted to go directly to voters because he does not want to get bogged down in partisan gridlock in the Legislature, where young sea cadets ensures that the 70th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor will be honored as a memory for all generations, U.S. Rep Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, said in a prepared statement. To commemorate this historic occasion, the band commissioned a new composition written by composer George Roumanis specically for this performance. The new piece, USS Arizona, In Memoriam, opens with a collage of the ringing of a ships bell, playing of Taps and Anchors Aweigh, Crowell explained. It is a stirring piece of music with haunting melodies that hearkens a simresidential units and 120 bedrooms. The City/County Association of Governments committed $210,899 to the project but since it never materialized, neither did the funds. Other proposals also zzled although multiple downtown guidelines and economic development studies cited Wheeler Plaza as a site for opportunity and often a priority. In November 2010, the RDA propelled the plan by shelling out $2.8 million for the 7,400-square-foot former Foodville parcel at 1245 San Carlos Ave. adjacent to the Wheeler Plaza parking lot. The funds came in part from a previous bond and also the sale of land for the In-N-Out restaurant on Holly Street and Industrial Road. The use of RDA money in the project might prove a wrinkle to the plan, though. The state is still trying to snatch back the funds and although many cities, like San Carlos, have committed RDA funds in hopes of staving off the grab, a lawsuit over the matter is pending. There is the possibility that if the ruling goes a certain way, Wheeler Plaza could be done differently, said Assistant City Manager Brian Moura. Those alternatives could include the city nding non-RDA funds to invest or having the developer shoulder the cost. The real worry is if the court allows the RDAs to be dissolved outright because the projects and property funded with the money will be liquidated and the city will need to re-purchase the land with other money, said Mark Sawicki, economic development and housing manager for the city. If that happens, Sawicki said it is highly unlikely Wheeler Plaza can go forward. The development concept workshop is 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7 in the Community Meeting Rooms, San Carlos Library, Second Floor, 610 Elm St., San Carlos. he failed to reach a tax compromise earlier this year as the state faced a $26.6 billion budget decit. The stark truth is that without new tax revenues, we will have no other choice but to make deeper and more damaging cuts to schools, universities, public safety and our courts, Brown wrote. Proponents of the spending cap said they believe voters are more likely to support restraining government spending than tax increases. Should voters support both the spending cap and Browns tax increase, Coupal said it would allow state government to spend more on schools until the cap is reached. After that, money would be used to pay down debt. California is currently carrying $81.2 billion in outstanding bonds, according to the state treasurers ofce. We believe it has been out-of-control spending that has created the budget problems in California. The Legislature and special interests have no desire in controlling spending, said Joel Fox, president of the Small Business Action Committee. Fox said Democrats who control a majority in the state Legislature deliberately delayed a vote on a rainy day fund and spending cap that was supposed to appear on the 2012 ballot. They moved the measure to 2014 but no ones fooled. The ultimate goal of that delay is to eventually kill the measure, Fox said. pler time, a tragic event and a call to duty. It is a masterpiece of simplicity and emotion, he said. Performing in Hawaii will be the premiere of the composition played by the young musicians. The veterans are always so moved to see young people playing patriotic music for them and the kids are honored to do so, said Toschak.

PROJECT
and bandied about but city ofcials, now armed with a draft copy of the Environmental Impact Review, are ready to knuckle down on what the community really wants to see developer Silverstone Communities do there. The area in question is the parking lot behind Laurel Street and San Carlos Avenue, fronting Walnut Street, and several city-owned buildings along San Carlos Avenue and Laurel Street. One is a six-unit rental housing building and another the former Foodville Market. The entire space is approximately 2.65 acres, sitting roughly 300 feet southwest of the Caltrain Station, two blocks from City Hall and straddling areas of both retail and multi-family housing. At a minimum, city planners and development ofcials say the redevelopment will replace all of the existing parking. Beyond that, the plan could include residential units, new retail space and public spaces for gathering. Even more downtown parking could be on the drawing board. On Wednesday night, city ofcials and developers will give the public an overview of the project so far and what they envision before asking attendees to share their concepts. Right now, the project is split into three components: the Wheeler Plaza mixed-use plan to replace the parking lot and retail with 9,855 square feet of commercial space and 108 residential units above a three-level parking garage; the Laurel Street commercial and plaza component which includes the public space and a two-story 4,500-square-foot building for restaurant and ofce space; and the Cherry Street affordable housing component which would include a 31-

cap proposal would appear on the November 2012 ballot if supporters collect 807,615 valid voter signatures. We need a mechanism to make sure that the drunken sailor DNA of our Legislature doesnt kick in, and that we put that money away and we use it for debt reduction, said John Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis group. The measure is just one of many complications Brown faces as he tries to increase taxes on the rich and raise the statewide sales tax. The Democratic governor and his labor allies want to ask voters to restore billions of dollars cut from public schools, universities and public safety. His proposed initiative, led Monday, would temporarily increase taxes on the wealthy, starting with individuals who make more than $250,000, and raise the statewide sales tax by half a cent, to 7.75 percent. The proposal would raise about $7 billion a year for ve years. Republicans and conservatives want to impose a spending cap that uses excess money to pay down debt. The competing measures could offer a stark choice for California voters next year. Brown is echoing the sentiments of the Occupy Wall Street movement to tax the

Moscow protest flares Divisions over EU treaty

By Mansur Mirovalev
threaten crisis solution

By David Rising and Sarah Dilorenzo
MOSCOW Police clashed with demonstrators protesting alleged election fraud in Moscow and at least two other major Russian cities on Tuesday as anger boiled over against strongman Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and his United Russia party. At least 250 people were detained by police at a protest in downtown Moscow that included flare-type reworks thrown at a group of proKremlin youth, said city police spokesman Maxim Kolosvetov. Russian news agencies reported about 200 were arrested at a similar attempt to hold an unsanctioned rally in St. Petersburg and another 25 in the southern city of Rostovon-Don. The Moscow protest ended after around 3 1/2 hours and the others were broken up by police. It was the second consecutive night of large protests in Moscow and St. Petersburg, an unusually sustained show of indignation as Russian police routinely crack down hard on unauthorized rallies, and protesters generally take time to regroup for a new attempt. The demonstrations follow Sundays parliamentary election, in which United Russia lost a large share of the seats it had held in the State Duma. The party maintains a reduced majority, but opponents say even that came because of vote fraud. Local and international election observers reported widespread ballot-stufng and irregularities in the vote count. The protesters appear to be both

angered by the reported fraud and energized by the votes show of declining support for Putin and his party, which has strongly overshadowed all other political forces in Russia for the past dozen years. But pro-Kremlin supporters also put on a pair of large rallies in Moscow, attracting thousands and showing vehement divisions in Russian society. The Moscow protest demonstrated the violent potential of those divisions. Several hundred young men with emblems of United Russia and its youth wing had gathered with police at Triumphal Square in the city center ahead of the planned opposition rally. Police waded into several groups of opposition supporters, pushing them away from the square roughly grabbing many and throwing them into police vehicles. Detainees included prominent opposition leaders Boris Nemtsov and Eduard Limonov, but Russian news reports said both were released from custody late Tuesday. After the protesters were pushed back, they and government supporters shouted at each other Shame, shame was the call from the opposition, while the others, some of whom beat drums, shouted Putin victory. Members of the pro-authorities group gravitated toward the nearby Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, continuing to chant and bang drums. Then at least two flare-type fireworks were thrown into their midst.
BERLIN Plans by France and Germany to save the euro through closer European unity faced a serious challenge Tuesday from Britain, as deep divisions emerged between the 17 EU nations that use the euro and the 10 others that dont. Threatened by fears their joint currency may not survive, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have demanded changes to European Union treaties to tighten controls over spending and borrowing for all who use the embattled euro. But Britain, which doesnt use the currency, has threatened to put the brakes on treaty changes, fearing they would force a greater transfer of power from London to Brussels and curb British inuence in the EU. Sarkozys and Merkels comments reinforced market expectations that EU leaders at a Friday summit will nally contain, through tighter nancial rules, the 2-year-old debt crisis that has engulfed the continent and threatens the entire global economy. Enter David Cameron, the prime minister of Britain who said he would be heading to the Brussels summit to defend and promote British interests. Eurozone countries do need to come together, do need to do more things together. If they choose to use the European treaty to do that, Britain will be insisting on some safeguards, too, he declared Tuesday. As long as we get those,
then that treaty can go ahead. If we cant get those, it wont. Other noneuro members of the bloc have reacted with caution to the German-French David Cameron demand for treaty changes, saying more details are needed about what they would entail. Cameron is the leader of Britains Conservative party, which resists transferring more powers to EU institutions in Brussels. Many party members have long wanted to ditch the EU altogether, forcing Cameron to walk a narrow line. He must satisfy those who fear a loss of Britains sovereignty but also ensure that, while keeping Brussels at arms length, he doesnt sacrice Londons say in EU affairs. The fear of losing inuence with the 27-nation bloc is particularly acute since France and Germany have called for a tighter-knit club of the 17 eurozone nations with tough rules for national budgets and automatic sanctions for those who stray. The safeguards cited by Cameron included the importance of keeping a single EU market of some 500 million consumers and making sure that any eurozone moves dont threaten Londons status as a global financial center. For example, France has proposed a tax on nancial transactions that Britain has forcefully opposed, fearing businesses will leave London if their cost of doing business goes up.
