The waiting game

Family on housing waiting lists fears the streets are next option
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
All Steve Litton and his 80-year-old

mother Ramona Low have to eat is a jar
of peanut butter.
They share a room together in a
South San Francisco motel after being
evicted from their Chestnut Avenue
apartment around the corner earlier
this year. Both are disabled and live on
fixed incomes.
Litton is his mothers volunteer

caregiver since she can no longer care
for herself. He doesnt take any pay
from the state to care for his mother
since it will only reduce her monthly
subsidy.
She is a former San Francisco
County employee who earns a modest
pension from her 20 years of service.
She used to provide service for people who are pretty much in the same
situation she is in today.
They pay about $160 a night to live

at the Deluxe Inn on El Camino Real
and have falling behind in making
payments. Theyve lived there about a
month now.
Any day now, they fear the motel
operator will evict them.
We have nowhere else to go but the
streets, Low said Tuesday morning.

chilly early-morning temperatures in
Hillsborough to get one last taste of a
good hard workout the day before taking a restful holiday break.
Current students and alumni came

CalPERS raising questions

about private equity returns
LOS ANGELES Questions of risk and

expense have been raised by the revelation
that the California Public Employees
Retirement System paid private equity
managers $3.4 billion in bonuses since
1990, including $700 million in performance fees for the last fiscal year, a newspaper reported.
The disclosure by CalPERS, the nations
largest public pension fund, comes as critics increasingly question the wisdom of
pension funds investing in such complicated corporate deals as startups and leveraged buyouts.
CalPERS officials emphasized that pri-
Many state parks

reach free pass limit for Friday
SAN FRANCISCO The complimentary
passes to California state parks for Friday
have been so popular that the majority of
parks are out of the freebies.
Thirty-one of the states 49 parks are out
of the passes.
KNTV reports Wednesday that Save the
Redwoods spokeswoman Jennifer Benito
says that guests can still show up at any one
of those 31 parks, but theyll have to pay
the entrance fees.
As of Wednesday, a total of 4,900 people
had downloaded the passes.
The nonprofit decided last week to offer
vate equity generated $24.2 billion in net

profit for the states retirees over the 25year period a strong performance that
they said more than makes up for the sectors added risk, complexity and cost.
Like many public pension funds,
CalPERS has relied on the potentially
large returns on private equity investments
to help finance benefits for its 1.7 million
current and future retirees and to avoid
turning to taxpayers to make up shortfalls.
Returns from those sorts of investments need to be much higher than returns
on assets not bearing similar risks and
especially to justify such huge fees, said

in public policy. From what I read today

about CalPERS returns on private equity,
its hard to see that being the case.
CalPERS disclosure, although not the
first of its kind, is considered a landmark
because of the systems size and influence
in the market, the newspaper said. Its
expected to lead major pension funds to
demand similar, or even more, disclosures
from a multitrillion-dollar industry that
has been insulated from calls for reform by
the relatively rich returns it generates.
The
California
State
Teachers
Retirement System, for instance, plans to
take up the issue of private equity disclosure at the systems board meeting in
February.
The trouble started at midnight Tuesday
when a student was walking alone in downtown Santa Cruz and approached three men
and a woman. A fight ensued and his money
and cellphone were taken. He was forced
into the car and driven to a dorm room of a
friend. There, three others were assaulted
and robbed.
The four students had injuries that were
not life threatening, including pain and
facial bruises.
They were treated by Santa Cruz firefighters and were not transported to a hospital.
Oweis say investigators are trying to find
surveillance footage of the attackers.

Dominos Pizza in North
Fair Oaks robbed by masked man
A masked man robbed a Dominos Pizza in the community
of North Fair Oaks late Tuesday night, San Mateo County
sheriffs officials said Wednesday.
Sheriffs officials are asking for the publics assistance in
identifying the man, who allegedly said he had a firearm during the robbery and simulated one underneath his jacket.
Sheriffs deputies were dispatched to the robbery at 11:05
p.m. in the 100 block of Fifth Avenue.
The suspect had already fled on foot with an undisclosed
amount of money from the restaurant and deputies were not
able to locate him. He was last seen running west on Fifth
Avenue toward El Camino Real, sheriffs officials said.
Sheriffs officials described him as a 6-foot black man,
weighing about 250 pounds. He was wearing a black sweatshirt and a black mask, with blue gloves.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call
sheriffs detectives at (650) 363-4055 or (650) 363-4064.

Hillsborough police seek

man for attempted residential burglary
A man banged on the front door of a residence on Rockridge
Road near Sierra Drive Tuesday, announced he was from
Comcast and tried to remove a rear sliding
glass door from its track to gain entry,
according to Hillsborough police.
At about 10:55 a.m., a resident was
home but did not answer the door, and
looked through the peephole to see who
was there. The resident did not observe any
Comcast credentials or a uniform so the
resident did not answer the door, according
to police. When the sliding door opened,
the burglary alarm sounded and the man
fled the area. He is described as Hispanic, about 6 feet to 6 feet
2 inches tall. He was medium build and wearing dark clothing
with a black baseball cap with an unknown black and blue
emblem on the front, according to police.
The Hillsborough Police Department is currently seeking
additional witnesses in this case. If you saw any suspicious
people or vehicles that may relate to this case contact the
Hillsborough Police Department at (650) 375-7470. Police
are also asking for any residential video surveillance systems
from those who live in the area of Rockridge Road.
Judge gives DUI defendant chance for treatment

A San Mateo County judge Wednesday decided to give a man
facing up to four years in prison for a DUI hit-and-run case a
chance to get into a treatment program instead, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
William Faleofa, 30, appeared in court Wednesday for sentencing in connection with a March 29, 2014, incident in
which he allegedly drove into another vehicle in San Mateo
while intoxicated and then led police on a pursuit for more
than 3 miles, into Burlingame. He was seen throwing beer
cans from the car during the pursuit, according to police.
Faleofa faced up to four years in prison after previously
pleading no contest to felony evading police, misdemeanor
driving under the influence with a prior conviction and misdemeanor hit-and-run in the case, Wagstaffe said.
His defense attorney argued for probation, saying that
Faleofa wanted to take responsibility for his wife and child. In
response, Judge Leland Davis decided to take the unusual step
of postponing sentencing to give him a chance to get into a
drug and alcohol treatment program, Wagstaffe said.
Davis remanded Faleofa, who had been out of custody on
$60,000 bail, back into custody and ordered to him to try to
get into the in-custody Choices Program in the San Mateo
County Jail. Sentencing was postponed to March 4, at which
point Davis said he would consider Faleofas success in the
program and progress before deciding on a sentence,
Wagstaffe said.
Obama: No specific and credible

intelligence about plot against U.S.
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON President Barack

Obama said there currently is no specific and credible intelligence indicating a terrorist plot on the United
States, as he sought to reassure anxious Americans for the Thanksgiving
holiday.
Speaking at the White House on
Wednesday, Obama said it was understandable that Americans might be
nervous following the Nov. 13 attacks
in Paris, which killed 130 people and
wounded hundreds more. While he
encouraged Americans to remain vigilant, he urged people to go about their
normal
activities
around
Thanksgiving.
While the threat of terrorism is a
troubling reality of our age, we are
both equipped to prevent attacks and
we are resilient in the face of those
who would try to do us harm, Obama
said. And thats something we can all
be thankful for.
Obama spoke after a briefing with
his national security team, including
FBI Director James Comey, Attorney
General Loretta Lynch, Homeland
Security Director Jeh Johnson and his
national security adviser, Susan Rice.
The president has faced criticism for
his initial response to the Paris
attacks, particularly his focus on chiding Republicans who called on him to

be more aggressive in fighting Islamic
State, the extremist group believed to
be behind the deadly assault in France.
He was also sharply critical of lawmakers who backed legislation that
would effectively keep refugees from
Syria and Iraq the two countries
where the Islamic State is based
from coming to the U.S.

I know that Americans have been
asking each other whether its safe

U.N. weather agency: Its record hot out there this year
By Seth Borenstein
WASHINGTON Because of manmade global warming and a strong El

Nino, Earths wild weather this year
is bursting the annual heat record, the
World Meteorological Organization
announced on Wednesday.
The United Nations weather
agencys early bird report on 2015
says it is the hottest year on record,
surpassing last years record heat. It
made the proclamation without waiting for the end of the year because it
has been so extraordinarily hot, forecast to stay that way and unlikely to
cool down enough to not set a record.
The report comes the week before
world leaders assemble in Paris to try
to negotiate an agreement to fight

climate change.
We have really broken records
almost everywhere, the agencys
secretary-general, Michel Jarraud,
said Wednesday at a press conference
in Geneva.
Remember climate
change is not only about temperature
... but a significant impact of climate
change is on extreme events.
The report is not surprising:
Scientists at the U. S. National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric
Administration and elsewhere already
were saying that 2015 likely would
be the hottest. The U.N. agency,
NOAA, NASA and Japans weather
agency all say 2014 is the current
record hot year with a global temperature of 14.57 degrees Celsius, 58.23
degrees F.
I would call it certain, NOAAs

chief climate monitor, Deke Arndt,
said on Tuesday. Something gamechanging massive would have to happen for it not to be a record.
Records go back to 1880.
Jarraud also said it is likely that the
world has now warmed by 1 degree
Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit,
over pre-industrial times. Thats a
symbolic milestone: International
leaders have set a goal of keeping
global warming within 2 degrees C,
3.6 F, of pre-industrial times.
There is urgency because we
already have 1 degree behind us and at
the rate that the emissions are
increasing, there is not much flexibility, Jarraud said. But it is still
possible to do it, provided there is a
strong decision in Paris.

Rubio finessing
abortion stance
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON
When
Republican presidential candidate
Marco Rubio staked out a hard-line
position on abortion in the first
GOP debate, Hillary Rodham
Clinton took notice.
The Democratic front-runner said
Rubios assertion that he did not
support abortion exceptions for
victims of rape and incest was
offensive and troubling. At
Clintons Brooklyn campaign
headquarters, aides saw echoes of
the controversial abortion comments by other GOP candidates that
hurt Republicans with women voters during the 2012 election.
Since then, Rubio has been
finessing his statements. In an
interview with the Associated
Press, Rubio said he unequivocally
backs abortion exceptions when
the life of the mother is in danger.
He said he also would back legislation with allowances for cases of
rape and incest even though he
personally doesnt support those
exceptions. I, as president, will
sign a bill that has exceptions, he
said. Ive supported bills that have
exceptions.
I do not personally require a bill

to have exceptions other than
life of the mother in order for me
to support it, Rubio added. But I
will sign a bill as president that has
exceptions.
While Rubios policy position
remains the same, his tone and
emphasis in the interview were
notably different than in the August
GOP debate, when he bristled at a
question suggesting he supported
allowing women to end pregnancies that resulted from rape or
incest. I have never said that,
Rubio said at the time. And I have
never advocated that. What I have
advocated is that we pass laws in
this country that say all human life
at every stage of its development is
worthy of protection.
Rubios advisers deny theres
been a conscious effort to make his
views on abortion more palatable
to a general election audience.
We really do welcome a debate
on life in both the primary and general election, said Alex Conant,
Rubios communications director.
Clintons campaign welcomes
the discussion, too.

health care decisions, even in the
case of rape and incest, said
Christina Reynolds, Clintons
deputy communications director.
No attempt to mislead on his
record will change the fact that his
agenda on womens health is dangerously out of touch and out of
date.
An August Quinnipiac University
poll showed that 78 percent of reg-
istered voters said abortion should

be legal in cases of rape or incest,
and 85 percent said it should be
legal to save the life of the mother.
The same poll showed 65 percent of
registered voters said they could
support a presidential candidate
that holds a different position than
they do on abortion.
Democrats early focus on
Rubios abortion position under-
scores the partys view that he

would pose a formidable challenge
to Clinton in the general election.
The 44-year-old son of Cuban
immigrants has a compelling life
story and optimistic campaign
message. Hes been casting the
2016 election as a generational
fight, a strategy aimed not just at
his older Republican rivals, but
also at Clinton.
Criminal justice issues showing up in 2016 presidential race

By Eric Tucker
WASHINGTON On the campaign trail, among candidates of

both parties, the idea of locking
up drug criminals for life is a lot
less popular than it was a generation ago.
The 2016 presidential race has
accelerated an evolution away
from the traditional tough-oncrime candidate. A Republican
Party thats long taken a law-andorder stance finds itself desperate
to improve its standing among
minority voters and Democratic
candidates are also being drawn

into national conversations on
policing, drug crimes and prison
costs.
With criminal justice issues
intruding into election season,
the Just Say No message of the
Reagan administration and the
three strikes sentencing law
developed a decade later under
President Bill Clinton have given
way to concerns over bloated
prison costs, the racial inequities
of harsh drug punishments and
how police interact with their
communities.
But even among those in both
parties who support changing the

criminal justice system, theres no
consensus on how to do it and candidates are scrambling to differentiate themselves on what law and
order means.
You dont have everyone saying theyre tough on crime, said
Inimai Chettiar of the Brennan
Center for Justice in New York,
which advocates reducing prison
populations. Instead, you have
people offering different policy
solutions.
The Paris attacks have at least
temporarily thrust national security to the forefront of the presiden-
tial race, but criminal justice

issues have been periodically
popping up, particularly among
Democrats, in a year of tumult in
U. S. cities. In the Republican
field, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has
been out front in seeking to
break the cycle of incarceration
for non-violent ex-offenders.
The push to rethink sentences
for drug offenders is coinciding
with the Black Lives Matter movement and its debate about police
treatment of minorities, a heroin
crisis thats brought renewed
attention to addiction and a homicide spike in some big cities.
Sometimes that mix of issues

defies consistency.
Republican Chris Christie, the
New Jersey governor and a former
federal prosecutor, has preached
treatment rather than prison for
drug addicts and spoken sympathetically of a law school friend
who died after getting hooked on
painkillers. But when it comes to
discussing policing, he accuses
Democrats in Washington of
allowing lawlessness to reign
and tells law enforcement Ill
have your back, suggesting that
the Obama administration doesnt.

Preventable errors led to

hospital attack, military says
WASHINGTON The U.S. airstrike that
killed 31 civilians at a hospital in
Afghanistan last month resulted from preventable errors by soldiers and airmen who
violated rules of engagement and have been
removed from duty while awaiting further
investigation, military officials said
Wednesday.
A briefing in Kabul provided the latest
U.S. explanation but left some questions
unanswered about an attack in which an
internationally run hospital was subjected
to barrages of heavy fire from an AC-130
gunship. Among them: how the attack was
ordered in a populated area based on a ground
commanders request with little apparent
review by higher headquarters.
Around the nation

Gen. John Campbell, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, said the airstrike
was supposed to have been directed at a nearby facility being used as a Taliban command
center but the warplane fired at the wrong
building.
After the planes targeting sensors malfunctioned, he said, the crew relied on a
physical description to home in on the target. But no Americans on the ground were in
position to see the hospital.
This was a tragic but avoidable accident
caused primarily by human error, said
Campbell, who described the results of parallel investigations to reporters in
Afghanistan and listening in at the
Pentagon in Washington.

Protesters to target Chicago

shopping area on Black Friday
By Don Babwin
CHICAGO Small groups of demonstrators gathered again Wednesday to protest

the death of a black teen shot by a white
police officer, and they urged supporters to
join them in trying to shut down Chicagos
famous Michigan Avenue shopping district
during the Black Friday shopping bonanza.
About two dozen protesters gathered outside Mayor Rahm Emanuels office a day
after authorities released a graphic squad-car
video showing the officer firing an entire
magazine into
17-year-old Laquan
McDonald. Jason Van Dyke was charged
Tuesday with first-degree murder.
The group held banners showing photos
of other black people fatally shot by police
in Chicago and elsewhere. Several protesters said they were parents of black men
killed by Chicago officers.
You cannot kill our children and expect
us to be quiet any longer, protester
Quovadis Green said. It is unacceptable.
Activist Mark Carter called on people to
rise up and shut down the Magnificent
Mile shopping area on Friday. Protesters
also planned to target the Board of Trade and
other landmarks in the coming days, he
said.
Carter and others want the Department of
Justice to investigate the Chicago Police

Department and its history of covering up
bad behavior.
The Urban League of Chicago joined in
the call for a federal investigation, alleging
a pattern of discriminatory harassment
against black people.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said other officers
involved in McDonalds death should be
fired or at least suspended. He also wants a
special prosecutor appointed to the case,
complaining that Cook County States
Attorney Anita Alvarez took too long to
bring a murder charge in the shooting,
which happened more than a year ago.
President Barack Obama said Wednesday
night he was deeply disturbed by the video
footage.
Obama said in a Facebook post that he is
asking Americans to keep those whove
suffered tragic loss in our thoughts and
prayers this Thanksgiving and to be
thankful for the overwhelming majority of
men and women in uniform who protect our
communities with honor.
Obama said he is personally grateful to
the people of his hometown Chicago
for keeping protests peaceful.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary
Rodham Clinton also weighed in, saying
McDonalds family and Chicago residents
deserve justice and accountability.
The Mi l l brae Ci ty Co unci l unanimously approved extending a contract with the company hired to operate the citys red light

Under the decision, the city will pay roughly $1.1 million over

French lawmakers vote to extend airstrikes against IS

By Elena Becatoros
and Thomas Adamson
PARIS French lawmakers voted

Wednesday to continue airstrikes in Syria
against the Islamic State group that claimed
responsibility for the Nov. 13 attacks that
killed 130 people in Paris, while Germanys
chancellor said her country would do more in
the international fight against the group.
Parliaments upper house, the Senate,
voted 325-0 with 21 abstentions to prolong
Frances airstrikes in Syria beyond early
January. The lower house had earlier voted
515-4 in favor.
French fighter jets joined the U.S.-led
coalition against Islamic State extremists in
Iraq in 2014, and expanded their mission to
IS targets in Syria in September. President
Francois Hollande cited specific threats
against French interests stemming from IS in
Syria.
The vote came as Hollande and German
Chanellor Angela Merkel discussed how to
combat the group that has spread its violence
beyond Syria to Europe and North Africa.
Merkel indicated her country would do more

in the international fight against IS.
We know that this attack wasnt just
intended for the people of Paris, but for our
whole way of life, she said after laying a single white rose at the Place de la Republique,
the Paris square that has become the focal
point of tributes for the victims.
Germany, Merkel said, wasnt just saddened
by the attacks, it also feels challenged to do
everything to prevent such events from happening again.
Hollande said it would be a very good signal in the fight against terrorism if Germany
could do more against IS in Syria and Iraq.
Germany currently provides weapons and
training for Kurds fighting against IS in Iraq.
If the French president asks me to think
about what more we can do, then its our task
to think about that and we will act quickly,
Merkel said, adding that the Islamic State
cant be convinced with words, it must be
fought with military means.
On the investigative front, France and
Belgium continued a manhunt for two fugitive suspects believed to be directly linked to
the Paris attacks.

Ukraine stops buying Russian gas

MOSCOW Tensions between Russia and

Ukraine escalated Wednesday as Ukraine
decided to stop buying Russian natural gas
hoping to rely on supplies from other countries and closed its airspace to its eastern
neighbor. Russias annexation of Crimea
from Ukraine in March 2014 and its support
for separatist rebels in the east has brought
relations between the two countries to a postSoviet low. Ukraine has since been trying to
cut its dependence on Russian gas.
Russias state-controlled gas company,
Gazprom, said Wednesday that it stopped
sending gas to Ukraine on Wednesday morning and will supply no more because Ukraine
has not paid in advance for more deliveries.
Ukraine said it was its own decision to stop
buying gas from Russia after it was offered
better prices from other European countries.
Those other countries import gas from Russia
but can pipe it back to Ukraine.
The stoppage comes less than two months
after the two countries signed an EU-brokered
deal ensuring supplies through March. Under
the deal, Russia lowered the price it charged
Ukraine to the same level granted to neighboring countries, from $251 per 1,000 cubic
meters to about $230.

NEW YORK Stocks wobbled on

Wednesday and finished little changed
before the Thanksgiving holiday in
the U.S.
The market was positive for most of
the day, but its gains dissipated in the
final minutes of trading. Last week the
markets made their biggest weekly
jump of 2015, but the indexes have
hardly budged this week.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 1.20 points to 17,813.39, while
the Standard & Poors 500 index lost
0.27 points to 2,088.87. The Nasdaq
composite index picked up 13. 33
points, or 0.3 percent, to 5,116.14.
U. S. markets will be closed
Thursday for Thanksgiving. They will
reopen Friday but will close at 1 p.m.
Eastern.
A rebound by drugmakers Pfizer and
Allergan boosted the health care sector, while consumer stocks like ecommerce giant Amazon. com and
home retailer Home Depot rose in the
last trading day before Black Friday
unofficially kicks off the holiday
shopping period.
Pfizer rose 90 cents, or 2.8 percent,
to $32. 87 and Irish counterpart
Allergan added $8.83, or 2.8 percent,
to $320.26. On Monday the two drugmakers said they would combine in a
deal valued at about $155 billion.
Pfizer shares fell a combined 10 percent Monday and Tuesday, and
Allergan shares also slipped after the
deal was announced. However the
stock is up 12 percent since late
October, when the companies confirmed they were in talks.

expected. While sales of tractors and
bulldozers and other machinery have
dropped, Deere has slashed its costs.
The stock rose $3.66, or 4.8 percent,
to $80.
Hewlett-Packard reported earnings
for the final time Tuesday night,
weeks after the tech giant formally
split into two separate companies.
HP, which inherited the parent companys PC, printer and commercial software business, sank $2, or 13.7 percent, to $12.64 as its sales weakened.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise gained 43
cents, or 3.1 percent, to $14.12. Sales
of hardware for data centers, including
servers and networking devices,
improved.
Energy stocks, which surged
Tuesday, gave back some of their
gains even though the price of oil
increased slightly. The U.S. government said crude oil stockpiles rose
last week. They are at their highest
levels in at least 80 years.
NRG Energy lost 44 cents, or 3.5

percent, to $12.18. ConocoPhillips
fell 94 cents, or 1. 7 percent, to
$54.38.
The price of U. S. crude rose 17
cents, or 0.4 percent, to $43.04 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils, picked up
five cents to $46. 17 a barrel in
London.
Wholesale gasoline rose 0.6 cents
to $1.396 a gallon. Heating oil inched
up 0. 3 cents to $1. 403 a gallon.
Natural gas rose 0.6 cents to $2.206
per 1,000 cubic feet.
The Commerce Department said
consumer spending inched up 0.1 percent in October, the second small gain
in a row. Despite weak spending in
September and October, economists
think spending will keep growing
because the labor market is strong.
Spending on long-lasting manufactured goods improved in October after
two months of declines.
Three trends for the holiday season

By Anne DInnocenzio
NEW YORK The holiday season is

upon us. Heres what shoppers can expect if
theyre heading out to stores at any point
during the holiday shopping season:
popular. But overall, theres nothing thats

making shoppers run to stores.
You have a democratic influence.
Nobody dictates trends, said William
Taubman, chief operating officer at
Taubman Centers Inc., which operates more
than 20 malls in the U.S.
NO FIGHTING OVER MUST-HAVE GIFTS ITLL BE CHEAP TO STAY WARM

Yet again, trend experts say theres no
single item thats emerging as a must-have
for the holiday season.
Sure, in the world of toys, anything Star
Wars is faring well as well as a slew of
robotic pets like robotic toy bears from
Mattels Fisher-Price and an interactive unicorn from Hasbro. But theres no runaway
hit.
In fashion, jeans are making a comeback
this holiday season, which should help
perk up teen retailers business, and athletic-inspired clothing like yoga pants remain
Heavy sweaters and winter coats are piling up at department stores and specialty
chains heading into the Black Friday weekend.
Unseasonably warm weather and a shift in
changing shopping habits toward experiences like spas have limited shoppers
appetite for such clothing. So plenty of
stores like Macys, Nordstrom and Dicks
Sporting Goods say they plan to further
mark down excess goods.

Number of people in E. coli

outbreak expected to grow
By Donna Gordon Blankinship
SEATTLE The number of people sickened in an E. coli outbreak linked to Costco

chicken salad will likely grow over the next
few weeks, even though the product has
been removed from store shelves, the federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention said Wednesday.
The spread of foodborne illness takes time
to track, especially when its happening in
multiple states, said Dr. Robert Tauxe,
deputy director of the CDCs Division of
Foodborne, Waterborne and Environmental
Diseases. State health officials, particularly

those in Utah, discovered the outbreak and
helped find the links between the 19 illnesses in seven states, Tauxe said.
Very quickly they noticed these people
did have something in common. They really
liked and ate the rotisserie chicken salad,
he said.
The big-box retailer based in Issaquah,
Washington, pulled the chicken salad off
store shelves nationwide, posted signs in
its stores and provided detailed purchase
logs to the CDC to help it track who bought
the product and where the salad ingredients
came from, Tauxe said.
tice, expects retailers will step up discounting this weekend beyond whats planned to
take advantage of the crowds in the stores.
Thats good news for shoppers, but bad
news for stores whose profit margins will
be squeezed. In fact, fourth-quarter profits
are expected to be up 1. 4 percent on average for the 119 retailers Retail Metrics LLC
tracks. Thats down from the anticipated 3.7
percent growth just a month ago.
But many are left with no choice but to
discount.
As Macys CEO Terry Lundgren recently
told analysts; Were not selling lumber so
I cant carry the lumber over to 2016 and
sell it at the same price next year. Were
selling fashion apparel, so were going to
mark that inventory down.
TOYS WILL BE PRICEY

Prices are climbing for toys as manufacturers pack lots of technology into them.
California demands
fixes for 16,000 more VW cars
LOS ANGELES California air quality
regulators on Wednesday demanded a recall
of up to 16,000 additional Volkswagen,
Audi and Porsche diesels as the Volkswagen
emissions scandal widened.
The notice from the California Air
Resources Board came less than a week after
state and federal regulators disclosed that
Volkswagen Group automakers installed
software to cheat emissions tests on more
diesels than initially thought.
The U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency and the California Air Resources
Board said last week the software was on
about 85,000 Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche
vehicles with 3-liter, six-cylinder engines
going back to the 2009 model year.
Deborah Weinswig of the Fung Business

Intelligence Center says in a recent report
that prices of what the company considers
the top 20 expected toys was nearly 36 percent higher than last year, with the average
price of $64.99.
And there are plenty of toys that cost
$100 or more, observed Toys R Us CEO
Dave Brandon. He cited Fisher-Prices Smart
Bear, which has a suggested price of
$99.99, as an example.
Jim Silver, editor-in-chief of TTPM, an
online toy review site, says theres a limited selling window for the pricier toys.
Parents save the most expensive ones as
gifts and buy them in December.
Bryant Feliz, the father of a five-year-old
girl, says he likes the diverse assortment of
toys in the stores, but he doesnt like the
prices.
At what costs should we be paying for
our own kids enjoyment? he said.
Business brief
Earlier this month, regulators accused VW
of installing the so-called defeat device
software on about 10,000 cars from the
2014 through 2016 model years.
The engines in question were built by Audi
and distributed to Porsche and Volkswagen
as well, said David Clegern, a California Air
Resources Board spokesman. The automakers each independently certified their products with state and federal regulators and are
therefore all responsible, he said.
The software is on Audi Q7 and
Volkswagen Touareg SUVs from the 2009
through 2016 model years, as well as the
Porsche Cayenne from 2013 to 2016. Also
covered are Audi A6, A7, A8 and Q5s from
the 2014 to 2016 model years, according to
the EPA.

But that hasnt

a thought in the back

to give it another
shot (until I see lift

the snow finally comes, I still instinctively check the ski reports.

lifts and handful of beginner runs available for use.

games. With 10 drops, Cooper ranks second in the NFL in that category.
Drops hurting Cooper

By Michael Wagaman
ALAMEDA When he was drafted in the

first round by the Oakland Raiders more than
five months ago, the book on Amari Cooper
was that he ran pass patterns like a seasoned
veteran, understood pro-style offenses and had
the best hands of any wide receiver coming
out of college.
Some of that has proven accurate. While the
former Alabama star is on pace to become the
first rookie in Raiders history to reach 1,000
yards in receptions, his growth and progress
this season have been stunted by his inability
to hold onto the ball.
Its an issue that has plagued the 21-year-old
Cooper all year. In his mind, enough is enough.

SAN JOSE Patrick Kane had two assists

to extend his career-best scoring streak to
17 games, leading the Chicago Blackhawks

Kane set up Brent Seabrook on Chicagos
first goal and also got a helper on Duncan
Keiths second-period goal to give him 28
points during the streak.
Jonathan Toews and former Shark Andrew

their annual circus road trip. The six-game
swing concludes this weekend with games
in Anaheim and Los Angeles.
Corey Crawford made 27 saves.

their legs late in the first period and tied the
game at 1 when Burns scored on a one-timer

Until this week. Now, his job is changing.
In one whirlwind weekend, Thompson

He showed up mature. Hes got a maturity

learning. Every time you see the plateaus,
you see him ght through

them and then you see
him get better. Were

way hes worked.

It was awesome. It really is, Thompson

Jed Lowrie traded back to Oakland

By Josh Dubow
OAKLAND Infielder Jed Lowrie is

returning to Oakland after a one-year stay in
Houston.
The Athletics acquired Lowrie from the
Astros on Wednesday for minor league
right-hander Brendan McCurry less than a
year after Lowrie left Oakland to sign a
three-year deal with Houston.
Jed is a very good player, As general
manager David Forst said. He was very
good here, he had a good year in Houston. It
was a good opportunity for us.
The 31-year-old Lowrie hit .222 with nine
homers and 30 RBIs in 69 games for
Houston this year, starting 45 at third and
16 at shortstop. He was sidelined for more
than three months by a torn ligament in his
right thumb but Forst

said he has no concerns
about his health.
As a free agent last
December, Lowrie agreed
to a $23 million, threeyear contract with the
Astros that called for
salaries of $8 million in
2015, $7.5 million in
Jed Lowrie
2016 and $6.5 million
in 2017. There is a $6 million club option
for 2018 with a $1 million buyout.
This marks the second time Lowrie was
part of a deal with these two teams, having
been sent from Houston to Oakland before
the 2013 season in a deal that sent slugger
Chris Carter to the Astros.
Lowrie helped the As make the playoffs
in two straight seasons, batting .271 with
21 homers and 125 RBIs in 290 games. He
was almost exclusively a shortstop during

his time in Oakland but is also capable of
starting at third base and second base and
has even played a bit of first.
We acquired Jed to play, Forst said.
Exactly where, we have some time to figure
that out. Hes too good an offensive player
not to be in there somewhere.
Lowrie has expressed a desire to Forst and
manager Bob Melvin to remain at one position. Whether that happens might depend
on what other moves the As make this offseason. Currently Marcus Semien is slotted
at shortstop and Brett Lawrie is at third
base.
Theres plenty of time for us to figure
things out, Forst said. He may end up getting to do that. The nice thing for us is he
really can play all over the infield.
Lowrie has a .257 career average with 65
homers and 314 RBIs.
The 23-year-old McCurry was 3-3 with a

1.37 ERA and 29 saves this year with Class
A Stockton and Double-A Midland, striking
out 82 and walking 17 in 63 innings.
Houston also dealt outfielder L.J. Hoes to
Baltimore for cash. The 25-year-old hit
.295 with three homers and 53 RBIs in 99
games this year at Triple-A Fresno. He was
dealt from the Orioles to the Astros in July
2013 as part of the trade that sent pitcher
Bud Norris to Baltimore.
Hoes has a .237 average, four homers and
22 RBIs in 112 major league games during
the past four seasons.
The As also announced that they released
right-hander A.J. Griffin, who had been designated for assignment last week. Lefty
Daniel Coulombe was designated for
assignment to make room for Lowrie on the
roster.
N.Y. court hears arguments on fantasy sports

By Jake Pearson
NEW YORK A judge said Wednesday he

would not take long to rule on a motion by
New Yorks top law enforcement official to
stop the countrys two biggest daily fantasy
sports companies from operating following
two hours of arguments in a packed Manhattan
courtroom.
Justice Manuel Mendez, of state Supreme
Court, told lawyers for FanDuel, DraftKings
and an assistant attorney general that his decision would come very soon.
Earlier this month, Attorney General Eric
Schneiderman sent both companies ceaseand-desist letters after declaring their businesses illegal gambling operations that
should be shut down. The companies have
countered that their contests are skill-based,
have been around for years and have attracted
investments from media companies, sports
teams and other others who have deemed them
legal.
If chance is a material element of these games

it doesnt matter how much skill is involved.
Kathleen McGee, New York assistant attorney general
The games in which customers pay to put

together rosters of real-life professional athletes in order to compete against others in
online leagues have come under heavy
scrutiny this year after both companies spent
millions of dollars on advertisements pitching the games to casual sports fans ahead of
the 2015 NFL season.
After a DraftKings employee beat more than
200,000 other fantasy football players on
rival FanDuel in October, winning $350,000
and raising questions about insider trading,
Schneiderman announced he was investigating and asked the companies to turn over the
results of their internal probes.
On Wednesday, Kathleen McGee, an assistant attorney general, told Mendez the case
against the companies was simple. She said
that while putting together a competitive roster may require skill, ultimately the contests
involve betting on how actual professional
players preform in real life, in the future, subject to factors outside their control such as
rain delays, blown calls and injuries.
If chance is a material element of these
games it doesnt matter how much skill is
involved, she said.
John Kiernan, a lawyer for New York-based
FanDuel, argued that his companys contests
are immensely skill-based and were indeed
events outside and separate from what happens on the field. He likened daily fantasy
sports players to general managers picking
rosters of individual players, thus by skill
increasing the possibility of success independent of whether a professional team wins
or loses on the field.

Prompted by a question by the judge, he said
the central argument in the case is whether
FanDuels customers are mere observers or
actual participants of a contest that is separate
and apart.
David Boies, an attorney for Boston-based
DraftKings, argued that since season-long
fantasy sports are permissible under state law,
so too must daily fantasy sports.
In fantasy you are betting on what happens
in the fantasy world, he said. Youre competing not against the house, but youre competing against other fantasy players.
Since Schneidermans letter, FanDuel has
stopped New Yorkers from playing on its site
and both companies have complained that
payment processors have been pressured to
not facilitate hundreds of thousands of New
York customers payments.
The companies have also said theyre open
to regulations and consumer protections, but
argue legislatures should head that effort, not
the courts.

Syracuse appeal of
NCAA sanctions rewarded
SYRACUSE, N.Y. The NCAA has lessened its punishment of Syracuse University,
reducing the penalty of lost basketball
scholarships by four.
The
NCAA
Infractions
Appeals
Committee ruled that the total reduction of
scholarships will be eight over four years
SPORTS
rather than 12.
The decision was announced Wednesday.
The sanctions were imposed in March
after a long-term investigation of the athletic department by the NCAA Committee
on Infractions and the school appealed.
The NCAA did, however, uphold its decision to vacate all mens basketball wins in
which an ineligible player participated
from 2004 through 2012. That total is 101
victories, which reduces coach Jim
Boeheims career win total from second on
THE DAILY JOURNAL
the all-time wins list with 969 to sixth at

868.
The 71-year-old Boeheim, in his 40th
year at Syracuse, also has appealed a ninegame suspension that is to commence at the
start of Atlantic Coast Conference play in
December. That appeal is still pending, the
university said in a statement.
The March 6 NCAA report found several
violations, particularly with the mens basketball program. Violations involved academic misconduct, extra benefits and the
49ERS
Continued from page 11
when Tomsula named his 53-man roster, yet Thompson
stuck around on the practice squad.
He appreciates having the chance to learn from
Kaepernick and Gabbert, who have been around the league
for ve seasons each now. They are locker mates and often
have lunch together in the cafeteria at team headquarters.
Thompson has watched how both quarterbacks handled a
difcult situation when the struggling Kaepernick was
benched earlier this month and Gabbert was promoted ahead
of leading the 49ers to a 17-16 victory against Atlanta on
Nov. 8.
Ever since I got here theyve been great to me,
Thompson said. You never know. People always tell you
guys wont talk to you when youre a rookie, especially at
quarterback. These two guys have been awesome for me, just
really nice guys who have helped me. Any question Ive had
theyve helped.
In the preseason nale, when the reserves get their most
playing time, Thompson completed 17 of 25 passes for 225
yards and two touchdowns with an interception and two
sacks in a 14-12 win against San Diego.
That gave him a nice condence boost going into the year
that he could compete at this level, albeit in a game that did-
RAIDERS
the Detroit Lions last week. One would have easily gained a
first down while the other came on a quick inside slant when
Cooper had plenty of running room.
Following the second drop, Cooper fell to his knees and
pounded the turf with his fist.
That gave Cooper 10 drops this season, according to
ProFootballFocus.com. Thats the second-most in the NFL
behind Tampa Bay wide receiver Mike Evans, who has 11.
I look back at them to see what I could have did to make
the play, and then I just move forward, Cooper said. You
just have to look the ball all the way through, have strong
hands and not try to run before you catch the ball.
Coopers recent slump has coincided with the Raiders
offensive funk.
Oakland has scored three touchdowns and two field goals
in its previous 20 drives. Thats in stark contrast to earlier
in the season when the Raiders scored at least 34 points in
universitys drug testing policy.

Boeheim said in March that some of the
allegations laid out in a scathing 94-page
report were inaccurate. He also called the
penalties unduly harsh.
Syracuse University also announced that
it has received a $1.23 million reduction in
a previous financial penalty handed down
by the NCAA. The appeals committee
acknowledged the mistake of requiring the
university to forfeit that amount, which was
received from the 2013 NCAA Tournament.
nt count for anything.

He has done a tremendous job and Ive tried to take him
under my wing and kind of show him the ropes, because coming in as a rookie I know how that went and I was fortunate
to have veterans kind of show me the way, Gabbert said.
Thompson understands that some quarterbacks benet
greatly from waiting their turn and learning behind the
scenes rather than being thrust into the pressures of a starting role right away.
At quarterback in particular, repeat experiences are huge
in the development process, he said. Seeing guys go
through things, certain looks, certain blitzes you might see
in a game, and game-planning for certain things, the more
of that you can get under your belt and obviously playing is
huge.
NOTES: When it comes to Tomsulas future, he said: We
havent had any conversations about any of that. Were in a
performance-based business. All of us in it get it. ... QB
Colin Kaepernick underwent surgery on his non-throwing
left shoulder Tuesday in Colorado and DT Glenn Dorsey had
an operation on his right knee at Stanford to repair a torn
anterior cruciate ligament. Tomsula said his team struggled
after Dorsey got hurt on the rst defensive snap in Sundays
29-13 loss at Seattle. I didnt like our body language, he
said. ... Dorsey was placed on injured reserve and the Niners
claimed LB Ray-Ray Armstrong off waivers from the
Oakland Raiders. ... LB Ahmad Brooks told the team he is
experiencing headaches and was placed in the NFLs concussion protocol.
three consecutive games.
Raiders coach Jack Del Rio doesnt seem too concerned,
though. Del Rio waves off Coopers recent slump as a part
of football and sees no reason to panic about a player who
leads all NFL rookies in catches (51) and receiving yardage
(736).
Hes a good player, Del Rio said. Hes been very consistent in his approach. We like the approach he has. Well
work through whatever things need to be corrected.
Clearly its not all Coopers fault but Oaklands offense is
a lot more efficient when hes heavily involved in the game
plan. Cooper was only targeted four times against the
Lions, matching his season low.
I feel like there are plays to be made. Were just not making them, Cooper said. We just have to go back to the
drawing board, practice hard, do the right things and well
start making them.
Like Del Rio, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr isnt getting
too worked up about the passes that have slipped through
Coopers fingers. Instead, Carr focuses on the plays Cooper
has made against some of the elite cornerbacks in the league
like Clevelands Joe Haden, Darrelle Revis of the New York
Jets and San Diegos Jason Verrett.

Olympic medalist Team protests its coachs

firing by forfeiting game
and world champ
bobsledder retires
By Jim Hague
We came back to the bench to

get ready for the introductions
and they took off their shooting
shirts, threw them on the floor
and walked off the court.
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. Steven Langton

has retired from bobsledding, ending his
career with two world championship gold
medals and two bronze medals from the
Sochi Olympics.
The two-time Olympian made the
announcement Wednesday through USA
Bobsled and Skeleton.
Considered one of the best push athletes
in the sport throughout his international
career, the 32-year-old Langton had not
competed for the U. S. since the Sochi
Games more than 19 months ago. He took
last season off and left the window open for
a potential return to chase a third Olympic
spot, but decided in recent weeks his time in
a sled was over.
Competing for Team USA will forever be
one of the most memorable times in my life
and I will forever be grateful for that opportunity, Langton said. As much as I love
the sport of bobsled, competing with my
teammates against the worlds best, and as
hard as this decision has been, I know that
Im making the right one.
Langton is a former winner of the world
push championship.
A native of Melrose, Massachusetts,
Langton went to Northeastern where he
competed in track and field. He saw bobsledding in the 2006 Olympics and tried the
sport for the first time a year later after
sending an email to longtime U.S. bobsled
pilot Steven Holcomb asking how to get
started.
Eventually, Holcomb and Langton were
paired and became dominant winning nearly

two dozen World Cup
medals together and
thriving at the sports
biggest events. They
won the 2012 world twoman
championship
together, Langton was
Steven Langton also in Holcombs fourman sled that won the
world title that same year, and two years
later at Sochi they combined to end a 62year American Olympic drought in two-man
by winning bronze.
Hes worked harder than anybody,
Holcomb said. To be able to get him on the
podium, that was a big goal of mine personally.
Langton was enormously popular among
sliders around the world. A pair of U.S.
teammates made a video Push Track
Hero, they called it highlighting his
workout regimen that including squatting
more than 500 pounds and pulling off 62inch standing box jumps.
Steve Langton made an immediate
impact on the team, said USA Bobsled and
Skeleton Chief Executive Officer Darrin
Steele. His work ethic and discipline
rubbed off on the other athletes and made
everyone better. He is also a heck of a nice
guy. I have no doubt that hell find success
in the next chapter of his life as well.
The U.S. bobsled team, with no returning
Olympians on its push-athlete roster, opens
World Cup competition for the season
Friday in Germany.
WAYNE, N.J. A Division III basketball

team forfeited a conference game to protest
the firing of its coach, dressing and warming
up before collectively walking off the court
as the game was about to begin.
William Paterson forefeited Tuesday night
against Ramapo College in support of longtime coach Jose Rebimbas, who was in his
21st season.
Rebimbas, the schools leader in coaching
wins with 384, declined comment on
Wednesday, saying he would comment publicly at a later date. He said on Facebook on
Sunday that he was fired because of a misunderstanding over facility rental fees for a
camp he runs.
The university has unfairly and illegally
taken my right to coach and mentor the student-athletes I love, Rebimbas said. I am
prepared to fight the actions of William
Paterson University and restore my good
name and that of the program.
Athletic director Sabrina Grant and athletic spokeswoman Heather Brocious did not
immediately return calls seeking comment
from The Associated Press. The school is
closed because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Ramapo coach Chuck McBreen said he was
stunned by the protest by his teams rival.
We came out on the floor, ready to go and
it looked like they were ready to go,
McBreen said. We came back to the bench
to get ready for the introductions and they
took off their shooting shirts, threw them
on the floor and walked off the court.
McBreen said his team packed up its
belongings and left the gym.
I left there with a numb feeling, like I
was in shock, McBreen said. I never
Chuck McBreen, Ramapo coach
saw this coming.

Terry Small, commissioner of the New
Jersey Athletic Conference, said hes not
sure how the conference will proceed. He
said he contacted the NCAA and the association doesnt acknowledge forfeits.
Its uncharted territory, Small said. I
know we do have a conference policy
towards forfeits, but nothing like this.
McBreen said his team was worked up to
play a big rivalry game.
Its like someone knocked the wind out
of our sails before we even started, he said.
Theres no euphoria in getting this as a
win.
A person familiar with the dispute told the
AP that Rebimbas fired after a loss Saturday
night to Brooklyn College because he did
not promptly pay the university fees
pledged by high schools for the camp. The
person spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the situation.
The Pioneers went 21-8 last season, making their ninth trip to the NCAA Division III
Tournament under Rebimbas. The Pioneers
have won 20 games or more nine times in
Rebimbas tenure and won the NJAC championship six times. They advanced to the
NCAA Division III Final Four in 1999 and
2001 and advanced to the title game in
2001.

Atlanta police: Ex-boxing
champion ONeil Bell fatally shot

to allow snowboarders. It also made headlines in the early
1980s when it was swallowed by an avalanche. During
good snow years, Alpine has some of the deepest snow of
any resort. Just on the other side of Squaw Valley, Alpine
got nine inches of new snow and has one lift and two runs
open. One-day adult lift tickets are $81.
Bear Val l ey. The southern most local hill, Bear
Valley is southeast of Yosemite, off of Highway 4. It doesnt plan to open until Saturday, but it got 10 to 18 inches
of new snow from this latest storm. If Bear Valley is open,
ski season is in full swing in the Sierras. One-day adult lift
tickets start at $69.
Bo real . Usually the earliest-opening resort, Boreal is
located right off Interstate 80 at the top of Donner
Summit. It already has top-to-bottom skiing, enhanced by
snow-making capabilities and is the only resort in the area
to offer night skiing. It got a foot of new snow. It has
only two of 33 lifts and seven runs open. If you just want
to ski, adult lift ticket prices are $64. If you want to play
in the terrain park as well, the price jumps to $99.
Do dg e Ri dg e. This smallish resort near Yosemite off
of Highway 108, opened Wednesday with six inches of
new snow. It will have limited terrain open accessed by
four lifts. With a base around the 6,000-foot level and a
peak at 8,200 feet, Dodge Ridge is kind of the canary-inthe-coal mine test for Sierra ski resorts. If Dodge Ridge is
open, nearly everybody is open. One-day adult lift tickets
are $68, one of the best values in the Sierras.
Heav enl y Val l ey. Arguably the most famous Sierra
Nevada resort, it is definitely the largest and the highest,
with the top of the mountain sitting just above the
10,000-foot level. Because of its proximity to Lake
Tahoe, it can take some work to have enough snow to ski,
but it has one of the most extensive snow-making facilities in the country. It got eight inches of new snow, with
seven of 28 lifts and eight of 97 runs open. Dont count on
Gunbarrel being open, however. One-day adult lift tickets
are $94.
Ki rkwo o d. Located about 45 minutes southwest of
South Lake Tahoe, Kirkwood is another one of those
resorts that gets dumped on when big storms roll through.
A slab of granite juts up nearly 10,000 feet and storms
stall out on its face. Known for The Wall, Kirkwood
offers some of the most extreme terrain in the country. It
received 16 inches of new snow and has four of 15 lifts and
16 of 86 runs open. One-day adult lift tickets are $88.
No rths tar. Located on Tahoes North Shore, Northstar
has developed into one of the top-rated boutique resorts in
the country. It received 16 inches of powder and has eight
of 20 lifts and 11 of 100 runs open. One-day adult lift tickets start at $98.

Thanksgiving Day.
of the mountains into South Lake Tahoe, it got 10 inches
of new. Ive skied here twice both times in blizzard conditions. It has five lifts and 13 runs open. Single-day, adult
lift tickets are $97.
Squaw Val l ey. Home of the 1960 Winter Olympics,
Squaw has changed its vibe from a big, extreme-skiing
mountain, to a palatial resort. But that doesnt take away
from the fact you can find some of the most bad-ass skiers
and boarders in the world shredding Squaws KT22 and
Granite Chief peaks. It got 10 inches of new snow, with
eight lifts and seven runs open. One-day adult lift tickets
are $81.
Sug ar Bo wl . About 10 minute from Boreal, Sugar Bowl
is off Interstate 80, near Donner Summit. Traditionally,
Sugar Bowl has some of the deepest snow in the Sierra.
The way the mountain is situated, storms coming from the
Pacific Ocean slam right into Mt. Disney (Walt Disney was
an early investor), dumping copious amounts of snow. It
got a foot of snow at the base, with nearly two feet at the
top from this latest storm. After a quick start, Sugar Bowl
shut down, but will be open Thanksgiving day. It has the
most expensive one-day adult lift ticket at $103, but in
good years, youd be hard pressed to find more snow anywhere in California.
If you wait until you get to the mountain, you will be
gouged for a lift ticket. If you do your shopping early
online you can find discounted tickets and specials
that can help save some money. If you ski a lot, a season
pass is the only way to go. There is a big investment up
front, but in most cases, pays for itself after four or five
days of skiing.
ATLANTA Police say a former boxing champion has

been shot to death during a robbery in Atlanta.
Atlanta Police Sgt. Warren Pickard says 40-year-old
ONeil Bell was gunned down Wednesday morning. Pickard
says Bell and another person were shot while getting off a
bus before two suspects robbed them. Bell was pronounced
dead at the scene in southwest Atlanta.
Bell had held four different titles during his 13-year boxing career, including the WBA, WBC, and IBF cruiserweight
titles. In his last match, Bell beat Rico Cason with a technical knockout in the first round in 2011. Bell finished his
boxing career with a 27-4-1 record.
Pickard says the second victim, who wasnt identified,
was shot in the hip and was taken to a hospital. Police say
the investigation is still ongoing.
SHARKS

game when he beat Crawford with a wrist shot off a faceoff
win in the offensive zone with 8:40 to play.
Desjardins restored the two-goal lead 1:07 later when he
scored his first of the season on a rebound.
Fresh off their annual stop in Las Vegas during their
November road trip when the circus is in town, the
Blackhawks started fast. They got the first eight shots on
goal and took a 1-0 lead midway through the period when
Kane set up Seabrook with a one-timer that beat Jones.
San Jose took more than 13 minutes before getting its
first shot on goal.
NOTES: The Blackhawks have one regulation loss in
their past 10 games against the Sharks. ... Dainius Zubrus

Luck increases activity, but
uncertain about return date
INDIANAPOLIS Andrew Luck

l
e
,
In di an ap o l i s
franchise quarterback said he
felt better, was
Andrew Luck confident hed
return before the
end of the regular season, and is
starting to increase his rehab work.
And now, Luck acknowledges, he
needs to do a better job protecting
himself.
Sitting out is not a role Luck is
accustomed to.
After winning Stanfords starting
job as a redshirt freshman, Luck
started 38 consecutive games. After
being selected No. 1 overall in the
2012 NFL draft, he started 57
straight games, including the playoffs a streak that ended earlier
this season when he missed two
games because of a sore throwing
shoulder.
Lucks replacement, 40-year-old
Matt Hasselbeck, won both.
This time, its different.
Coach Chuck Pagano said Luck
was expected to miss two to six
weeks after getting hurt in the fourth
quarter of a 27-24 victory over
Denver on Nov. 8, and Luck knows
it will take more than pain tolerance
to be cleared.

Shariah law key in Palestinian BAN

artists Saudi death sentence
By Aya Batrawy
When Palestinian artist Ashraf Fayadh was

tried last year on blasphemy-related charges,
the Saudi judges overseeing the case rejected
the prosecutions request for a death sentence
for apostasy. Instead, he was sentenced to
800 lashes and four years in prison over the
content of a book of poetry he wrote and for
illicit relations with women based on photos he had on his phone.
An appeal was filed and the case was sent
back to the lower court, but this time around
judges threw out defense witness testimony,
refused to accept Fayadhs repentance when
weighing the case and sentenced him to execution for apostasy on Nov. 17.
His friends are now asking how the case
could draw such different verdicts, especially
when two of the three judges overseeing his
case in the General Court of Abha in southwestern Saudi Arabia served in both the retri-
al and the initial trial.

According to Human
Rights Watch (HRW),
only the lead judge had
been changed.
The case illustrates how
courts in Saudi Arabia can
issue vastly different punishments with unexpectAshraf Fayadh ed outcomes based on
how judges interpret
Islamic Shariah law, a system derived from
scholarly interpretations of the Quran and
verified and documented rulings and sayings
of the Prophet Muhammad.
Fayadh was charged with blasphemy,
spreading atheism and having an illicit relationship with women and storing their pictures in his phone, according to HRW. The
Associated Press obtained a copy of the
courts ruling on Nov. 17, which gives some
light into how judges came to issue the death
sentence.

Effective Nov. 5, the citys revamped

smoking ordinance now prevents traditional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes and marijuana from being used in a much broader set
of public spaces. The council opted to follow in the footsteps of several other communities across the county that have enacted stricter regulations such as Belmont,
Foster City, Burlingame and unincorporated
areas.
Im extremely proud of San Mateo for
taking the initiative to protect our citizens
from the health hazards presented by secondhand smoke, Mayor Maureen Freschet
said in a press release.
Other than medical marijuana, which is
regulated by the state, any type of smoking
is strictly forbidden in multi-family
dwellings a new ban urged by a numerous
residents and advocates who spoke during
various City Council meetings over the last
year. The restriction also covers enclosed
common areas and within 40 feet of a multiunit dwelling; which is defined as residential property with two or more units that
share a wall, floor ceiling or ventilation
system. It includes apartments, duplexes,
condominiums and townhomes as well as
their patios and balconies.
Smoking of any kind is prohibited on any
city property like parks, open areas and
buildings; as well as in lagoons and waterways a suggestion by environmental
groups that raised concerns about the hazards of cigarette butts, which frequently top
the list of litter collected during coastal
cleanup days.
Other public places where smoking or
using an e-cigarette is forbidden are public
places such as on transportation, in restaurants and on sidewalks; and in service areas
like ticket lines, ATMs, train stations, bus
stops and more.
The city has opted to provide a six-month
grace period where itll be pushing education before issuing citations, said Police
Chief Susan Manheimer.
Appreciative of the leadership shown by
the council, Manheimer said the city has
created a comprehensive ordinance to deal
with secondhand smoke and its health
impacts. I think theyve struck a reasonable
balance between education, awareness and
compliance, that will leave a lot of our public more protected from these harmful
effects.
One of the unique steps San Mateo took
was to begin requiring sellers of the increasingly popular e-cigarettes to apply for a
tobacco retailer permit. In continuing
efforts to deter secondhand smoke exposure
THE DAILY JOURNAL

and prevent youth from picking up the
habit, the council asked staff to study how
many e-cigarette retailers are in the city,
where theyre located and whether further
regulations could be considered, Manheimer
said.
Currently, there are about 13 establishments that sell e-cigs with many of them
only selling the vapor products or liquid
nicotine not traditional tobacco. Those
that also sell traditional tobacco products
have long been required to obtain permits,
but the remainder must apply likely for the
first
time
through
the
countys
Environmental Health Division, according
to police.
Theyre popping up in little clothing
stores and magazine stores. Thats one of
the reasons the council was so eager to take
on e-cigarettes, because they just started
popping up around where children congregate, Manheimer said.
Often touted as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes or sometimes marketed as a
cessation device, Manheimer said its quite
the opposite for youth. E-cigarettes are a
gateway to traditional tobacco and little is
known about their health effects, she said.
Manheimer and police Lt. Rick Passanisi
said police will continue to evaluate the current establishments for compliance and provide the council with a comprehensive
report about e-cigarette sales in the city
around March.
For now, San Mateos new ordinance is
already starting to work even without penalties being dished out, Manheimer said.
The city has posted a printable educational brochure on its website and police have
been asked by several homeowners associations to come out and discuss the new rules,
Manheimer said.
For those who fail to comply, City
Attorney Shawn Mason said they could be
issued infractions or tickets. The graduated
fines start at $100 and increase to $200 for
a second violation within a year and $500
for a third or subsequent ticket, Mason said.
It may be a big change in behavior for
smokers whove been able to light up in
many places throughout the city now the
only places that arent regulated are inside
single-family homes and vehicles so
Manheimer said its important to educate
people on the new rules.
One of the things were really stressing
and focusing on here is its our belief, and
based on other cities experiences with their
ordinances, that it is very rare that we turn
to enforcement, Manheimer said. Self
policing and compliance by different homeowners associations and different merchants
groups are usually enough to cause the
behavior to abate.

A feast for plants: How about some fish for Thanksgiving?

By Lee Reich
Thanksgiving is a time to think of

fish as well as turkey. Fish for planting, that is, not for eating.
Remember, it was scraps of fish
planted beneath seeds that helped
create a good enough corn harvest to
warrant that first Thanksgiving feast
almost 400 years ago.
Experimentation and observation
had taught Native Americans that such
buried fish helped corn grow. The
Pilgrims were wise enough to follow
their lead.
How many of us modern gardeners
tailor our gardening practices to noncommercial advice and close observation?
WHAT FISH HAS TO OFFER

Today, the science behind those
buried fish scraps has been spelled out.
Fish bones are rich in calcium and
phosphorus, but plants cannot eat
those nutrients until they are solubilized by microorganisms. Phosphorus,
important for grain formation, moves
slowly through the soil, so burying
fish scraps right beneath seeds ensures
a good dose of this nutrient early in a
plants life.
Modern farmers typically lay a band
of high phosphorus fertilizer in
synthetic form, not as fish waste
just beneath corn seed at sowing.
The muscle of fish or other animals,
as you might remember from high
school biology, is protein, which is
made up of amino acids, rich in nitrogen. Plants cannot absorb nitrogen

directly from muscle, or even from
amino acids, any more than they can
get their calcium and phosphorus
directly from bones. But when an animal dies, microorganisms get to work
breaking down muscle proteins into
their component amino acids, then
converting amino acids first to ammonium and then to nitrate.
Ammonium and nitrate are the forms
in which plants absorb nitrogen from
the soil.
THE ELEGANCE OF
FISH DECOMPOSITION
A couple of details highlight just
how wonderful this process is. First,
because these are microbial reactions,
they carry on most rapidly under
moist, moderately warm conditions.
Eureka! These are the same conditions
under which plants grow fastest and
need most nitrogen. So this natural
process doles out nitrogen food to
plants in sync with growing conditions.
Spread or water in a solution of some
synthetic fertilizer beneath a plant,
and some of the nitrate or ammonium
nitrogen contained in it will force-feed
the plant, or wash out of the soil
before the plant is ready to use it.
Within the constraints of warmth
and moisture, the microorganisms that
convert amino acids to ammonium are
more diverse and work under a broader
range of conditions than do the
microorganisms that go on to convert

ammonium to nitrate. Under very
acidic conditions, for instance, ammonium formation chugs along, but
nitrate formation grinds to a halt.
Eureka again! Plants that require

laurel, rhododendron and blueberry, for
example happen to prefer their
nitrogen dished out as ammonium,
which is just what they get.

Super pantries frequent

many kitchen wish lists
By Melissa Kossler Duton
Teresa Keller used to joke that she was

pantry-challenged. She often relied on a
flashlight to search the deep, dark cupboard
that held her canned goods and other food
items.
When she and her husband, Dave, decided
to build a home in Sunbury, Ohio, a proper
pantry was a priority.
I brought it up to the builder, said
Teresa Keller, who moved into the new
house in October. I told them Ive got to
have this.
The Kellers new super pantry is a walkin, with plenty of quality shelving to store
drinks, trash bags and other household
goods bought in bulk. One shelf is dedicated to snacks for the grandchildren. A small
door connects it to the garage, so groceries
can be unloaded easily.
At a certain price point, its what people

are expecting more storage, said Ed
Snodgrass, vice president of P&D Builders
in Delaware, Ohio, which built the Kellers
house.
Many new homeowners are asking for
larger pantries, said Kermit Baker, chief
economist for the American Institute of
Architects in Washington, D.C. In a recent
survey by the group, 43 percent of residential architects reported that customers
placed an increased emphasis on pantry
space.
Besides storing food, some of the newer,
bigger pantries offer storage for china and
serving pieces that are used just a few times
a year. Some include spaces for toasting
bread, brewing coffee and chilling wine.
Others have spots for laptops, or sinks for
prepping food and washing pets.

and months worth of paper towels, are driving the trend, industry experts said.
The super pantry is a backlash to the
open floor plan, said Amy Beth Cupp
Dragoo, an interior designer who works in
New York City and Litchfield County,
Connecticut. People have been living in
the open concept house long enough now to
know that if the kitchen is messy, the whole
place feels messy.
Pantries allow them to stow kitchen items
out of sight.
Homeowners no longer feel the need to
leave their high-end mixers and coffee makers on the counter, added Bob Vila, the longtime home-improvement TV show host who
now dispenses advice at www.bobvila.com .
There was a generation for whom all of
these things were brand new luxuries and
they wanted to show them off, he said.

Now the emphasis is on decluttering.
Builder Michael Menghini gets more and
more requests for electrical outlets in
pantries. People want to leave their appliances out, they just dont want to leave
them on their counters, said Menghini,
president of Covenant Custom Homes in
Overland Park, Kansas.
Storing appliances, large pots and serving pieces in a walk-in pantry also saves
money, Vila said. Its cheaper to install
open shelving in a pantry than to build
more kitchen cabinets, which require counter tops and hardware.
I have been a booster of the concept of
pantries for as long as I can remember, he
said. It minimizes the amount of money
spent on kitchen cabinets.
FISH
substitute used by many gardeners.

Furthermore, fish scraps and fish emulsion are concentrated fertilizers, even if
they are natural. As such, they supply the
soil with very little organic matter, which is
so important for building humus. Humus,
besides its direct and indirect benefits to
plant nutrition, enhances the physical environment of the soil (its porosity, moistness
and temperature) and helps fight diseases.
If you do use fish scraps, fish emulsion or
any other concentrated fertilizer, supplement it with abundant compost, leaves,
straw and other bulky, organic materials.
The confines of a flower pot allow little
room for adding bulky materials (except
peat moss, compost or coir in the potting
mix itself); in this case, use a soluble fertilizer, such as fish emulsion, mixed into your
watering can.

ganisms work happily even in the absence
of air. These creatures are responsible for
the offensive aroma of compost piles that
are gasping for air because of waterlogging
or because materials are packed too densely.

Think you want a tiny house?

Businesses offer a tryout first
By Collin Binkley
CROYDON, N.H. Hilary and Shane

Lentz were hooked on the idea of a tiny
house, but they werent sure the reality would
be so appealing.
Their curiosity led them to the hills of New
Hampshire, where a business that started at
Harvard University rents out tiny houses for
$99 a night. The company, Getaway, has
drawn visitors from afar who come to sample
life in a 160-square-foot house before they
dive headlong into the lifestyle.
Its a way to test-drive tiny house living,
said Jon Staff, the founder and CEO of
Getaway. We operate them a little bit like
hotel rooms in the woods.
Across the country, more businesses are
letting the curious try out tiny living.
Caravan, a hotel in Portland, Oregon, offers
six tiny houses ranging from 84 to 170
square feet, for $145 a night. Dozens of tiny
houses are available through vacation rental
websites, posted by their owners.
Definitions vary, but some say a tiny
house is anything smaller than 400 square
feet. Advocates tout the environmental and
financial perks of tiny living.
The Lentz couple, from Pittsburgh, had
been considering a major downsize for years.
It could free them from the mortgage on their
three-bedroom home. They could build the
house on wheels and take it anywhere. By
shedding some belongings, there would be
fewer distractions.
Having a smaller living space allows you
to be more open to experiences, and to really enjoy your day to day life, said Hilary,
27.
But the couple had a few lingering questions. Shane, 29, wondered whether waterless toilets, a common feature in tiny houses, were odorless, too. They both worried
about cooking in a tiny kitchen. Hilary
wanted to know whether the coziness would
fade to isolation.
Getaway is the first project at Harvards
Millennial Housing Lab, a group of business, law and design students exploring new
housing ideas. Staff, a graduate student in
business, said his stints living on a boat and
in an Airstream trailer inspired him to help
spread the tiny house movement.
Small spaces force you out into the
world, and I think thats a good thing, he
said.
Backers of tiny living say the movement
is growing, and certain areas have become
Tiny houses have caught the publics attention as the subject of TV shows and documentaries. Popular websites entice audiences to ogle
at small houses in bucolic landscapes.
hot spots. Villages of little homes have
popped up in cities like Portland and Seattle.
Other cities have considered relaxing their
zoning rules to open the door for more tiny
houses.
But industry experts say its hard to pinpoint actual numbers behind the trend. In an
annual survey, the National Association of
Realtors found that the share of home buyers
who opted for houses of less than 1,000
square feet has stayed at about 1 percent for
the past five years.
The data is revealing that the tiny-sized
home is not what people will consider the
American dream, said Lawrence Yun, the
associations chief economist.
He predicts that the growth of big cities
will fuel demand for smaller apartments and
condos, but not stand-alone houses.
Either way, tiny houses have caught the
publics attention as the subject of TV shows
and documentaries. Popular websites entice
audiences to ogle at small houses in bucolic
landscapes. Some cities are exploring tiny
houses as a tool to fight homelessness.
The Lentz couple signed up for a rental as
soon as they heard online about Getaway.
They spent the weekend in a wood-paneled

house the size of a shipping container, powered by solar panels. The only water came
from a 110-gallon tank. Its composting toilet required a spritz of water from a spray bottle after use.
Our tiny houses are a little bit simpler
than the standard tiny house, Staff said.
Theyre rustic.
During their tryout, the Lentzes played
board games and went hiking. They built a
campfire and looked at the stars. Despite
their concerns, the cramped kitchen had
plenty of space to prepare a spaghetti dinner.
After warming up slowly, the small propane
heater eventually warded off the fall chill.

DATEBOOK
ECONOMY
businesses are stepping up their
investment in machinery and equipment, removing a persistent drag on
the economy.
The steady consumer and business
demand in the United States is powering the economy through economic
pressures from overseas, which jolted
financial markets during August and
September and raised doubts about
global growth.
With the U.S. job market on solid
footing and wages beginning to rise,
the Fed is widely expected to raise
short-term rates in mid-December for
the first time in nine years.
Wages and salaries jumped 0.6 percent in October, the Commerce
Department said Wednesday, and data

substantially higher. U.S. paychecks
were 4.9 percent higher in October
than they were a year earlier, a sizable
gain. By contrast, in the first four
years after the Great Recession ended in
2009, paychecks typically rose only
about 2 percent to 3 percent.
The extra growth in wage income is
good news for retailers hoping for a
strong holiday shopping season, said
Jim OSullivan, chief U.S. economist
at High Frequency Economics.
TROT
Though the students run the 1.3-mile
track traversing the school campus
every year, bringing back former students to run it again is a relatively new
wrinkle which was introduced for the
first time last year.
Darrion Chen, Justin Zheng and
Ryan Lowe, all freshmen at
Burlingame High School, returned to
their middle school alma mater to run
alongside their friends and former
classmates in the alumni event.
Its a really good time to reflect on
your friends while you are running,
said Chen.
Lowe said he wanted to participate
because he ran in the event for the past
three years as a Crocker student.
Zheng said he looked forward to seeing his other friends who are still at
the school during the run.
In all, nearly 500 runners participated, including 100 alumni, some who
attended the school roughly 30 years
ago, according to event organizers.
Hope Pilch, a parent of two students
at the school and a coordinator of the
event, said she appreciated the way the
turkey trot unified the Crocker Middle
School community.
OSullivan forecasts that the economys annual growth rate could reach
2.7 percent in the final three months of
the year, from 2.1 percent in the third
quarter.
Consumer spending rose only 0.1
percent in October, though that weak
showing occurred partly because the
month was unusually warm and
Americans paid less for heat. In the
second and third quarters, consumer
spending topped 3 percent, a historically robust level.
With incomes revised higher, the
savings rate jumped last month to 5.6
percent, the highest since 2012.
History tells us that a chunk of that
savings will eventually get spent,
said Stephen Stanley, chief economist
at Amherst Pierpont.
Measures of consumer confidence
have been mixed but generally paint an
optimistic picture. According to
Gallup, Americans plan to spend on
average $830 on holiday shopping
this winter the most since 2007,
just before the recession officially
began.
And consumer sentiment ticked up
this month, according to a survey by
the University of Michigan. Lower and
middle-income Americans were more
optimistic about their personal
finances in the coming year than higher-income households were, the survey
found.
Still, a separate measure of consumer
confidence from the Conference Board,
a business research group, fell in

November to its lowest point in more
than a year. It found that fewer
Americans expected their incomes to
rise.
Even so, Americans are unleashing
pent-up demand for big-ticket items
such as homes and cars. Sales of new
homes jumped last month and have
increased 15.7 percent through the first
10 months of 2015.
Home sales have been bolstered by
strong hiring and low mortgage rates.
Sales of existing homes are on track to
reach their highest level since 2007,
even though rising prices are sidelining many potential buyers.
Separately, U.S. factories in October
received more orders for long-lasting
goods, including steel, machinery and
computers. The increase added to other
evidence that manufacturing is recovering after a generally brutal year. A
higher-valued dollar has made U.S.
goods more expensive overseas.
And factory output has also been held
back by low oil prices, which forced
oil and gas drillers to slash orders for
steel pipe and other equipment.
Now, though, those drags appear to
be fading.
Consistent hiring has underpinned
most of the improvement in the economy this year. Employers added
271,000 jobs in October, the most
since last December, and the unemployment rate reached 5 percent, the
lowest level since the spring of 2008.
She also noted it is also a productive

way for students to enter the
Thanksgiving break.
This emphasizes the healthy
aspects of what our school represents, she said.
Inviting alumni back to participate
also helped inspire current students to
stay active in the Crocker Middle
School community after they graduate,
Pilch said.
Laurel Miranda, who also helped
coordinate the event, said she believes
the run is a good way to unify all students of the school.
We are just trying to build community and school spirit, Miranda said.
Its a fun activity that builds a lot of
memories.
Josh Bowie, a physical education
teacher at Crocker Middle School,
echoed many of those sentiments.
It is just a great spirited event, he
said. And it is fun to see classes come
back and run.
On the blacktop school yard near the
back of the Crocker Middle School
campus, students did jumping jacks
and ran in place to get warm, while
teachers tried to relay instructions on
how to navigate changes in the course
to avoid a large dirt pile that had
formed in the middle of the track.
At the mark set by their teacher, students jumped from the race line to a
soundtrack of Bruce Springsteens

Born To Run, blaring from a school
public address system.
Runners sprinted circles around the
blacktop before heading out along the
course which traced the perimeter of
the campus near Ralston Avenue.
Some of the pace slowed as runners
climbed a hill near the back of the
track as they began approaching the
finish line, but the enthusiasm and
enjoyment of the students did not seem
to drag with their feet.
Students who did not participate in
the run passionately cheered on their
classmates and shouted words of
encouragement to those suited in the
schools yellow and blue athletic
apparel.
Even
district
Superintendent
Anthony Ranii got in on the fun, running the course alongside his students.
He too said the annual event is a way
to
connect
with
the
larger
Hillsborough community, especially
by bringing back former students to
participate.
Its great we added the alumni component, he said.
Ranii added the event granted a final
chance for runners to get a hearty dose
of exercise in advance of what is likely
one of the largest meals of the year.
This is a fun way to burn some calories before turkey day, he said.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Carlos Antonio Pantoja, aka, Carlos A.
Pantoja
Case Number: 126343
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Carlos Antonio Pantoja,
aka, Carlos A. Pantoja. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Carlos Alejandro Pantoja in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Carlos Alejandro Pantoja be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: JAN 13, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within four months from the
date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The
time for for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date
noticed above.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
Attorney for Petitioner: Eric G. Dzubur,

Shes too proud.
All she wants is a little studio to live in.
But the family has been rejected repeatedly when trying to find housing for not earning enough money.
They are on multiple waiting lists for
housing, including at HIP Housing, but
have been told it could take years before an
apartment or room becomes available.
The average rent for a one-bedroom in San
Mateo County is now more than $2,500 a
month, a nearly 50 percent increase in just
four years.
Litton and Low, however, are paying nearly every penny they have on staying at the
motel, which could cost nearly $4,800 for a
30-day stay.
They suspect they ended up in their present situation because they complained
about lack of maintenance where they lived
formerly.
Low lived at the same apartment building
in South San Francisco for nearly 20 years
before being evicted earlier this year after a
lengthy legal battle over a rent dispute.
Low signed a settlement agreement with
the apartments owners and then was
promptly evicted, she said.
The lawyer she hired in the matter also
allegedly duped her out of $4,000, her son
said.
Litton, 56, spends much of his days filling out applications for housing and seeking other services.

Palestinian assailant killed

after stabbing Israeli soldier
JERUSALEM A Palestinian assailant was shot and

killed by Israeli forces after stabbing and seriously wounding an Israeli soldier in the West Bank on Wednesday, the
latest in an unrelenting, two-month wave of violence.
The Israeli military said the soldier was stabbed at a junction near the West Bank city of Hebron. Troops on the
scene shot the attacker, who later died in a Jerusalem hospital.
The attack comes a day after U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry visited the region to try to calm tensions. The violence erupted in mid-September over tensions surrounding a
sensitive Jerusalem holy site and quickly spread across
Israel and into the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The past week
has been the deadliest of the outburst so far.
Attacks by Palestinians have killed 19 Israelis and 91
Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, among them
58 said by Israel to be assailants. The rest were killed in
clashes with Israeli forces.
Ibrahim Dawoud, a 16-year-old Palestinian, died
Wednesday from bullet wounds he sustained in clashes with
Israeli troops in Ramallah in mid-November, according to
the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Israel says the violence stems from Palestinian incitement and incendiary videos on social media. Most of the
attackers have been young Palestinians in their teens and
early 20s.
The Palestinians say the violence is rooted in frustration
over nearly a half-century of Israeli occupation and lack of
hope for obtaining independence.
There were no signs that Kerry made any headway in easing tensions during his meetings with Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas. The unrest has sunk the chances of a
renewed peace push during the Obama administrations final
year.

Schools in Brussels reopen,
maximum threat alert still in place
BRUSSELS When Annelaure Leger dropped off her two
children at school on Wednesday, it was like nearly every
other day except for the machine gun-toting policeman.
After a two-day school shutdown sparked by a threat alert
across the Belgian capital, Brussels resident Leger was
relieved that classes were back in session, even though she
and her kids had to take their bikes since the subway was
still not running in her neighborhood.
It was like Christmas come early for the children, Leger
said. They stayed at home and played with the neighbors
kids. She said the family lives partly in Paris and that the
children are very aware of whats happening both there and
in Belgium. It would be better if the police had caught the
terrorists, but the children know they are trying to do that so
that everyone is safe, she said.
Though the Belgian capital continues to be under the
highest-level threat alert, meaning that authorities fear a
serious and imminent attack, schools and subways began
reopening across the city on Wednesday.
