Garbage rates puzzle council

Belmont residents facing 22 percent increase to trash service
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Belmont City Council is working to lessen a one-time garbage rate hike of more than 22 percent that the citys residents are facing in 2012 by considering a range of nancial mechanisms that will spread the increase over multiple years. The trouble is, the mechanisms the city con-
sidered last night were often a puzzle to the council and new ideas emerged that caused even more division between councilmembers. A rate increase is necessary because city residents have migrated to smaller garbage cans as they recycle more, causing the citys waste service provider, Recology, to lose money. It all has to do with with the smaller 20-gallon can that Belmont residents have moved
toward. Those customers pay far less than customers with larger cans under a progressive rate structure that incentivizes waste reduction. Councilman Warren Lieberman proposed last night that Belmonts rates are too progressive and that the 20-gallon customers need to pony up more than the about $15 a month they currently pay. But Councilwoman Christine Wozniak said
the 20-gallon customers should be awarded for reducing waste and that their rates should essentially stay stagnant. The council absorbed a dizzying set of facts and gures last night that prompted Mayor Coralin Feierbach to ask can I go home well before discussion on the item was nished. Puzzling or not, Feierbach said there was no way she would vote for a 22 percent rate

U.S.Rep.Jackie Speier,D-San Mateo,above left,hosted her seventh Job Hunters Boot Camp in South San Francisco yesterday. More than 20 local employers,including Facebook,Safeway,Franklin Templeton,Gilead,Target and Caltrans were on hand. Speier mingled with employers including Darren Hickey, above, director of human resources for Bauers Intelligent Transportation,who was interviewing veterans yesterday for possible employment.A speaker at the event was Jim Thomas, bottom right, a technical writer, who got a job after attending one of Speiers previous boot camps. About 700 attended the all-day event.
Voter turnout for Tuesdays election in San Mateo County was lower than expected even by traditional standards for a non-presidential contest, according to semi-ofcial tallies. As of Tuesdays close, turnout was 22.25 percent of the countys 334,407 registered voters, or 74,189 people. Heading into the Nov. 8 election day, David Tom, deputy assessor-county clerkrecorder, was optimistic San Mateo Countys electorate would at least hit the historical average for turnout which is 26 or 27 percent and was optimistic for 29 percent. David Tom Tom said his prediction was based on having a countywide contest and a school tax measure with a lot of money at stake. Sometimes its not about science, its about what peoples gut tells them, Tom said. As results are updated throughout the week with newly counted absentee ballots, the gure could climb as high as the previously predicted 29 percent, Tom said. The difference between Election Night and nal outcomes point to a continuing trend that is worrisome for elections ofcials, Tom said mainly that a growing number of absentee

connected the child to an age-enhanced drawing commissioned by authorities searching for him. Ortiz was then reunited with the father, Gilbert Ortiz, who survived the poisoning. Elizabeth Fuentes was convicted and Jonathan Ortiz sentenced to 13 years to life in prison. Rutgers has previously told the Daily Journal his client has issues fueled by his mothers absence and the abrupt switch from living with his mother in Mexico to living with a paternal family he did not know. Father and son were living together in Redwood City with other residents last year when, on two occasions, the younger man beat his father and screamed at him about what he had done to his mother, according to prosecutors. The first time, Ortiz put a knife to his fathers chest and later took him to the hospital where the man told doctors he had been robbed at knifepoint, Wagstaffe said. The second time, the man reportedly told staff he was beaten during a robbery. A family member eventually contacted the detective who investigated the milkshake poisoning in 1992. Although Ortizs father was the alleged victim in the case, prosecutors say he initially tried to protect his son by claiming the injuries were due to other circumstances. However, he was cooperative with prosecutors and ready to testify, Wagstaffe said. The case goes to show that when you have violence in the home, its what all the studies show, thats what the child learns, Wagstaffe said. Elizabeth Fuentes Ortiz, now 40, claimed self-defense in her 2002 trial on charges of attempted murder, concealing a child, inflicting great bodily injury and torture. FuentesOrtiz told the court that by poisoning her husband she meant only to incapacitate, not kill him, to escape an abusive marriage that included sexual abuse. Prosecutors argued, though, that the murder attempt was fueled by jealousy and anger over his long work hours. On March 11, 2002, Fuentes-Ortiz brought her husband the milkshake laced with Ortho7 insecticide. She told him it was a protein shake intended to help him build muscle mass. Gilbert Ortiz testified that the drink tasted like chocolate but sour and burning. Ortiz fell to the ground in convulsions, slipped into a 10-day coma and suffered multiple organ failures and a heart attack. While her husband was comatose, Fuentes-Ortiz gave Redwood City police conflicting stories of from where the poison originated once she said a masked man tried to kill her husband; another time she claimed it was a suicide attempt. By the time Ortiz could tell authorities who had given him the questionable shake, Fuentes-Ortiz was gone. She was profiled numerous times on the television show Unsolved Mysteries over the eight years it took FBI agents to arrest her in the Mexican state of Jalisco. She was denied parole for the first time in January 2010. She is next eligible in 2015.

Son of milkshake poisoner jailed for dad attack

Someone took a planter box with a plant worth $300 on the 100 block of Goodwin Drive in San Bruno before 9:33 a.m. Monday, Oct. 31.
The now-grown son of a Redwood City woman who poisoned her husband with a insecticide-laced milkshake and kidnapped the boy to Mexico for years was sentenced to a year in jail for attacking his father last year. Jonathan Fuentes Ortiz, 21, will be able to serve the term in a residential treatment program and must also spend a year in mental health counseling. Judge Lisa Novak also imposed a five-year suspended prison sentence which could kick in if Ortiz does not abide by the rules of his punishment. Hes got a pretty big mountain hanging over his head, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. As part of the negotiated plea deal for felony assault, Ortiz gave up 200 days of credit which leaves him with 184 toward his one-year term if he heads to jail rather than treatment. The sentence came after Ortizs aunt, the victims sister, told the court her brother forgave him, Wagstaaffe said. Defense attorney Gerritt Rutgers did not return a call for comment. According to prosecutors, Ortiz blamed his father for his mothers imprisonment, leading to assaults on June 25 and Oct. 17, 2010. Ortiz was just 2 years old in March 1992 when his mother, Elizabeth Fuentes, fed his father a chocolate milkshake mixed with a bug killer and fled the country to her native Mexico. Fuentes was located and arrested in 2000 on attempted murder charges but her son remained missing until his grandmother brought the boy to the San Mateo County womens jail for a visit.

President donor discussed Solyndra with White House

By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON A major donor to President Barack Obama discussed with White House ofcials a solar energy company that received a half-billion dollar federal loan and later went bankrupt, newly released emails show. The emails released by a House committee appear to contradict repeated assurances by the Obama administration that the donor, George Kaiser, never talked about Solyndra Inc. with the White House. Solyndras name came up at a White House meeting with Kaiser last year at a
time when the California company was seeking a second federal loan, after it had already received a $528 million loan in 2009, the emails show. The second loan was not approved. Instead, an investment venture controlled by Kaiser made a private loan that resulted in the rm and other investors moving ahead of taxpayers in line for repayment in case of a default by Solyndra. Solyndra, the rst renewable energy company to receive a federal loan under the 2009 stimulus law, declared bankruptcy in September and laid off its 1,100 workers, leaving taxpayers on the hook for more than a half-billion dollars.

Im confident that we can use the word victory right now, Lee said outside his office at City Hall. Flanked by his wife and daughter, Lee choked up as he spoke about the honor of becoming the 43rd mayor of the City by the Bay, as well as the first Asian-American. We recognize that very historic thing, he said. I want to thank the people of San Francisco. Its wonderful.

SAN FRANCISCO Resounding voter support this week for pension reform measures in San Francisco and Modesto offered some reassurance to leaders of other California cities also struggling to deal with ever-tightening budgets partly due to the costs of generous
retirement plans for their employees. More than two-thirds of San Francisco voters in Tuesdays election supported Proposition C, which would increase contributions by some city workers and raise the minimum retirement age for some others to save $1.3 billion over the next decade. San Francisco faces a $4 billion obligation over the next decade for tens of thousands of current and
former employees under its system, which was created in better economic times. In Modesto, voters supported three nonbinding advisory measures that asked voters there if they agreed that pensions for city workers should be reformed. Support for the measures, while not creating new city law, increased pressure on city leaders to enter into serious reform discussions.

Those worries were why protesters showed up at the news conference, protester Debra Grabelle said. What we dont want is for them to bring police into our community and brutalize our community, she said. They are bringing in the cops for people who are peacefully assembling. Mayor Jean Quan allowed the protesters to return to the encampment the day after the Oct. 25 raid. The camp has since grown to about 180 tents. But this week, she asked members of the encampment to come to a peaceful resolution with the city and to show respect to the people of Oakland. We renew our call on Occupy Oakland to make a decision to leave immediately, she said in a statement. Quan also called on elected leaders who are clamoring for an immediate raid, to come forward with a plan that doesnt lead to more injuries, further damage the citys battered reputation and possibly spark another re-occupation.

Larry Wallace, chief of the departments Division of Law Enforcement, told the Associated Press the state will keep running 18 task forces using federal money. Its unclear whether the 34 others will be able to continue without the states leadership. The attorney generals office released the list of the endangered task forces to the AP on Wednesday.

Fire board approves $150 fee for rural properties

SACRAMENTO A California reghting board has approved raising an annual wildre fee for rural structures to $150. The state Board of Forestry and Fire Protection voted Wednesday to impose the higher fee sought by Gov. Jerry Brown. It will apply to about 850,000 properties where the state provides wildre prevention and protection. The board approved a $90 fee in August that contained up to $65 in credits. Lawmakers later rejected Browns proposal to raise it.
BERKELEY Campus police at the University of California at Berkeley on Wednesday dismantled an anti-Wall Street encampment students had set up and arrested protesters in their way. Student activists tried establishing an Occupy Cal camp on campus despite official warnings that such encampments would not be allowed.
Students had pitched at least eight tents next to Sproul Plaza before police in riot gear broke through a line of protesters encircling the camp site and tore down the tents. They arrested handcuffed protesters who resisted as others shouted, Put down your guns! It was not immediately clear how many were arrested. Shortly after they moved on, however, leaving behind the tents stuffed inside garbage bags, the demonstrators pitched two more
tents and surrounded them. We see this as an illegitimate use of force, said Amanda Armstrong, a graduate student who was hit several times by police wielding batons. We intend to stay and re-establish our encampment. Earlier in the day hundreds of students rallied on campus before marching to a Bank of America branch to protest financial policies they blame for causing deep cuts in higher education spending.
They then held a general assembly during which they voted to establish Occupy Cal and to set up an encampment similar to Occupy Wall Street camps around the country. After eight tents went up, officers moved in quickly and removed one. But they backed off after a human wall encircled them with chants of, Whose university? Our university! The police moved in the second time outfitted in riot gear.

Dems present offer to cut deficit by $2 trillion

By David Espo and Andrew Taylor
WASHINGTON Democrats on Congress supercommittee secretly presented Republicans with a revised deficit-cutting proposal earlier this week that calls for a blend of $1 trillion in spending cuts and $1 trillion in higher tax revenue over the next decade, officials in both parties said Wednesday night, adding that compromise talks remain alive though troubled. The previously undisclosed offer scaled back an earlier Democratic demand for $1.3 trillion in higher taxes, a concession to Republicans. At the same time it jettisoned a plan to slow the growth in future cost-of-living increases in Social Security benets, a provision liberal Democrats oppose. The one-page proposal was handed to
Republicans at a meeting Monday night attended by some but not all members of the supercommittee. At the same session, GOP lawmakers in attendance advanced a revised proposal of their own that signaled for the rst time they would be willing to accept higher revenues as part of a plan to cut decits over the next decade. Given the unusual secrecy of the meeting and the committees Nov. 23 deadline to produce at least $1.2 trillion in savings, it appeared that the pace of activity on the panel was accelerating. Less clear was whether there was still time to bridge enormous differences on priorities, or whether each side was laying the groundwork for trying to blame the other in case gridlock triumphs. The committee, comprising six Republicans and six Democrats, has been working for weeks. Evidence of progress has been scarce, with Republicans demanding large cuts in benet programs such as Social
Security and Medicare, while Democrats pressed for additional tax revenue as a condition for agreeing to make deep spending cuts. Few details are known of the session Monday night, except that Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., outlined a plan on behalf of the four Republicans in attendance, and Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., countered with the revisions in an earlier Democratic proposal. One ofcial said the meeting lasted several hours. Any progress that may have been made by the panel has largely been overshadowed in the past two days by a Democratic campaign to dismiss the GOP proposal as a prescription for deep tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. In a sign of the political struggle unfolding, Democrats circulated a four-page analysis that relied not on a review of what Toomey outlined, but on what they described as a different, similarly drawn proposal.
Republicans countered that for all the rhetoric, both sides had shown exibility on the issues that long have been at the root of Congress inability to compromise on sweeping plans to cut decits. Republicans have put revenues on the table. Democrats have put entitlements on the table, said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. They both need to put more of each on the table. Alexander said the so-called supercommittee could expect help from a bloc of 45 senators that have signed on to a letter pledging support for a decit bargain that mixes new revenues with curbs on the growth of government benets programs. Democrats sounded far less upbeat. I have yet to see a real, credible plan that raises revenue in a signicant way to bring us to a fair, balanced proposal, said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., the co-chair of the 12member supercommittee.
Obama signs order to cut travel, cellphones, swag

With such orders, signed in Oval Ofce ceremonies, Obama is trying to demonstrate that he is engaged in measures large and small and to distinguish himself from what he argues is a Barack Obama pretty unproductive Congress.

Iran vows no retreat from its nuclear path

By Ali Akbar Dareini
TEHRAN, Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed Wednesday that Iran wont retreat one iota from its nuclear program, denying claims that it seeks atomic weapons. Key ally Russia gave the Islamic Republic a major boost, rejecting tighter sanctions despite a U.N. watchdog report detailing suspected arms-related advances. Israel called on the world to stop Irans nuclear program in response to the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agencys report. The Israeli statement did not refer to the option of a military attack despite recent signals that would be a possibility. In his first reaction to the report, Ahmadinejad strongly criticized the agency a day after it claimed Tehran was on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon saying the IAEA is discrediting itself by siding with absurd U.S. accusations. The comments, broadcast live on state TV, were a sharp rebuke to Western warnings that Iran appears to be engaged in a dangerous deance of international demands to control the Islamic Republics nuclear ambitions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus ofce said the IAEA report conrmed long-standing claims by Israel and Western countries that Iran is developing
nuclear bombs. The signicance of the report is that the international community must bring about the cessation of Irans pursuit of nuclear weapons, which endanger the peace of the world and of the Middle East, the statement said. Israel sees Mahmoud Iran as an existential Ahmadinejad threat, citing the nuclear program, Ahmadinejads calls for Israels destruction and Irans support for Arab militant groups. Israeli ofcials are hopeful the international community will pass tough new sanctions that cripple Irans key energy sector or target its central bank, which would hinder its ability to conduct international trade. In an interview with Israel Radio on Tuesday, ahead of the reports release, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that without effective sanctions, Israel would not take any option off the table, a reference to possible military action. In Paris, Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said France would support boosting sanctions against Tehran to an unprecedented scale if Iran stonewalls investigations, even as Israel and others say that military options are still possible.

GOP candidates: Let Europe solve its debt

By Kasie Hunt
ROCHESTER, Mich. Republican presidential rivals agreed Wednesday night that Europes countries should rise or fall on their own without any American bailout and warned that failing to cut budget decits at home would doom the U.S. to the same sort of crisis that now plagues Greece and Italy. Though sexual harassment allegations facing Herman Cain have dominated the GOP campaign for more than a week, the debate in economically ailing Michigan focused almost entirely on nancial worries and proposed solutions in the U.S. Europe is able to take care of their own problems. We dont want to step in and bail out their banks and their economies, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said as he and GOP rivals met for the rst time in three weeks in campaign debate. Even so, he said the United States should continue contributing to organizations like the International Monetary Fund that are working to prevent a meltdown in troubled economies overseas., Rep. Ron Paul of Texas was more emphatic
about Europes debt. You have to let it liquidate. We took 40 years to build up this worldwide debt, he added. Cain said there wasnt much the United States could do to directly to help Italy at present because the economy there is in such difcult shape. We need to focus on the economy or we will fail, he said, referring to the U.S. and calling for spending cuts, a strong dollar and measures to stimulate growth. The Cain accusations did come up, though briey. The debate marked the first time the Republican rivals had gathered since complaints emerged from several women accusing Cain of sexual harassment, allegations that the unlikely front-runner in the polls has strongly denied. The American people deserve better than someone being tried in the court of public opinion due to unfounded accusations, he said when the question came up early in the debate. I value my character and my integrity more than anything else. And for every one person that comes forward with an unfair accusation there are probably, there are thousands who come forward and say none of that ever happened with Herman Cain.

Cain accuser complained in next job

Median home prices fall for 3Q in most U.S. cities

WASHINGTON Home prices dropped in nearly three quarters of U.S. cities over the summer, dragged down by a decline in buyer interest and a high number of foreclosures. The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday that the median price for previously occupied homes fell in the July-
September quarter in 111 out of 150 metropolitan areas tracked by the group. Prices are compared with the same quarter from the previous year. Fourteen cities had double-digit declines. The median price in Mobile, Ala. dropped 17.7 percent, the largest of all declines. Phoenix and Allentown, Pa., Atlanta, Las Vegas and Miami also experienced steep declines.
WASHINGTON Three years after Karen Kraushaar settled her sexual harassment complaint against Herman Cain and quit the trade association where they worked, she led another complaint at her new job. She argued that supervisors there unfairly denied her request to work from home after a car accident and accused one of them of circulating a sexually oriented email, the Associated Press has learned. Kraushaar, 55, says she later dropped the complaint that she led while working as a spokeswoman at the Immigration and Naturalization Service in late 2002 or early
Karen Kraushaar
2003 and left the agency to take a job at the Treasury Department. She says she considered the immigration service complaint relatively minor. But three former supervisors say the allegations, which did not include a sexual harassment claim, were investigated and
treated seriously. Two former supervisors say she initially demanded a settlement of thousands of dollars, a promotion on the federal pay scale, reinstated leave time and a one-year fellowship to Harvards Kennedy School of Government.

Two men accused of fatally shooting an ostrich seven times on Halloween 2006 were part of a drunken group which visited a Half Moon Bay ranch and then specically returned with guns by themselves later that night, according to prosecutors who charged the pair with felony animal cruelty charges the week of Nov. 10, 2006.

OPINION
High-speed rail still makes sense

The Bakerseld Californian
he new, long-awaited California high-speed rail business plan, released last week, puts the projects ination-adjusted cost at $98.5 billion. Thats a lot of money three times what the states voters were told when they were asked to approve the enabling bond measure in 2008. Some see the project as a huge, risky wager of taxpayer dollars on a project with signicant uncertainties. Others see it as a visionary undertaking in the best traditions of Californias innovative spirit and an environmentally responsible answer to the states transportation problems. Both points of view are correct. Heres the tiebreaker: Jobs. The project will create many thousands of jobs over a long period of time, both during the decades-long construction phase and well beyond. But most signicantly, many of those jobs will be based right here in the southern San Joaquin Valley, where the rst phase of the project will take place. If Kern County can land the HSR maintenance facility and its clearly the best-suited candidate it would mean even more local jobs. Valley residents demand action on job
Other voices
creation from our elected ofcials in Sacramento and Washington, and we see precious few results, but in HSR wed have the equivalent of a major corporation landing in our lap. Were pleased that the governor has taken on more ownership of the project, that it seems to have put its rudder a little deeper in the water, and that critically reviewed ridership estimates look more plausible than before. And were cognizant of the fact that California voters endorsed the concept of HSR three years ago, even if the project they supported bears limited resemblance to the project theyd be getting if the rst train were to leave the station today. As the project moves forward, however, state and local ofcials should consider one major change: The idea of a station in downtown Bakerseld, endorsed by the Bakerseld City Council in 1999. The disruption to the citys downtown corridor, including the potential displacement of Bakerseld High School and numerous business, churches and homes, might be more than were willing to put up with. In east Bakerseld alone, as many as 130 homes and apartments, 173 businesses,
and three churches could be impacted by the rail line. Options that were considered and dismissed years ago suddenly seem to have a lot more merit than we gave them credit for. One major advantage: Were guessing it would be far less expensive to build Bakerselds HSR terminal near the William M. Thomas Terminal at Meadows Field, for example, with an Amtrak stop added there for bullet-train connectivity. Make no mistake, a downtown HSR station is attractive in some respects, but the negatives outweigh the positives. We harbor no illusions that highspeed rail, no matter how it interfaces with Bakerseld, will be simple or cheap. We recognize that funding uncertainties abound. Much relies on the economy, which shows signs of life but has hardly rebounded with full force. Congress must show a willingness to fund infrastructure, and not just in California, and theres no indication that will happen anytime soon. But high-speed rail offers too much opportunity for jobs, for transportation connectivity, for the restoration of Californias place as a leader in innovation to set aside this commitment now.
Crime of deliberate ignorance

dont know much about football. Im aware of the sport. I have a general idea of how its played. I can pick a few players out of a line up and am not completely clueless when it comes to the notable legacies of college programs. But while I dont know much about football, I do know about doing the right thing, both legally and morally, when it comes to protecting children from harm. We all should instinctually, right in the gut next to the other moral compass that knows domestic violence is wrong, stealing is bad and those who harm animals for fun have a special express pass to hell. This compass and the obligation to follow it on the right course isnt just limited to ones own actions, although, that is certainly where the effort begins. History is littered with the names and stories of people who may not have pulled the trigger, laid a hand in the inappropriate spot or locked the train door before it headed off to camps but instead turned their faces so they deliberately wouldnt see. Doing nothing isnt that much better and quite commonly it is even more horrifying to think that somebody would rather turn a blind eye or protect an image of perfection rather than step up. And so this brings us to the hallowed halls and revered football eld of Penn State where earlier this week head coach Joe Paterno tried to squelch some of the scandal tainting its football program by stepping down. Paterno did not personally abuse several young boys on college grounds; that despicable crime allegedly was left to Jerry Sandusky who authorities say sexually assaulted at least eight or more young boys over a 15-year span at the football complex. Sandusky, who met the alleged victims through his nonprot group for troubled boys, will have his day in court. Paterno, though not charged with any crime, is already hanging in the court of public opinion. Paterno apparently learned of Sanduskys action from a graduate student who witnessed one incident. Paterno in turn informed the athletic director and a senior vice president for nance and business. Did he think they would handle the situation appropriately and alert authorities? Did he hope it would go away? Or was this a way to split the difference, to feel like he did the right thing without actually having to man up enough to say something personally or follow up on why Sandusky remained unscathed by law or resignation? For a man who by all accounts leaves behind a legacy of truly great football coaching, this is weak. His history as a coach may remain remarkable but as a man he currently looks like the smallest person in the room. If the grand jury summary of events is accurate and Paterno fell so dramatically short in his obligation, he is no better than church ofcials who prefer moving molesting priests rather than turn them in to authorities. He is also no better than those who bite their tongues and sit on their hands when neighbors are carted off by regimes who deem them unsavory. If the reports of Paternos inaction in the face of knowledge is true, he is no better than anybody else who commits the crime of deliberate ignorance. For that matter, anybody who chooses to do nothing about any crime but particularly unacceptable acts toward minors are no better than the perpetrator. Paterno may be the latest mighty name to fall, the latest scandal to blare across headlines, the latest black mark in the history books. But he is far from the only person who has ever chosen to stay silent and, sadly, he will not be the last. For every Paterno, there is a Bob, John, Sally or Jane who quietly oversees the carpool and doesnt ask about the bruises, sets the dinner table and never asks why their son or daughter doesnt like to be alone with so and so, turns the stereo up when the house next door shakes from booming threats or worries how their own reputation will suffer if the neighbors really knew what happened behind closed doors. Like me, these are the people who may not know football and who before last week would have asked Paterno who? But when it comes to doing the right thing by children I know better. Paterno, his cohorts and anybody with the same ability to make a difference should know, too. Knowing better, though, is only the rst step. Real men and women are willing to actually do better.

Wall Street protests
Editor, I would like to express a view counter to Jack Habers (Wall Street Protests published in the Oct. 23 edition of the Daily Journal) on the subject of the protests against Wall Street. Mr. Haber states that protests which inconvenience the general public will not gain the countrys support. It is the very public that is so vehemently protesting Wall Street and the plutocrats outrageous behavior. Not one of them has gone to jail. I am sure that many working people would join the protesters if they had time. I hope the protests continue to grow until it becomes a full-scale peaceful revolution. Maybe at that point, Wall Street will nally get the common peoples message. take a crash course in American history. The Boston Tea Party was a direct action by colonists in Boston, a town in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the British government and the monopolistic East India Company that controlled all the tea imported into the colonies. On Dec. 16, 1773, after ofcials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and other political protests often refer to it (Wikipedia). This new Tea Party is a bunch of people running around with tea bags hanging off their three-cornered hats demanding to see President Obamas birth certicate and are being supported by the 1 percent billionaires, Koch Brothers. The real revolutionaries are the young and the old, the men and women, the students and job seekers, the families who have lost their homes and health care, who are out in the street standing up to the batons, rubber bullets, tear gas and arrests by the police to demand that our government start taking care of the 99 percent by taxing the rich, and holding the bankers and corporations accountable for the crimes they have committed. These actions by the OWS will be another shot heard around the world.

Jackie Speiers challenge

Editor, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, and a resident of Hillsborough, should have shopped at the farmers market where a bundle of vegetables cost $1 (at least that was the cost in Millbrae). Then she would have been able to live on $4.50 a week. (Speier wraps up food stamp challenge published in the Nov. 5-6 edition of the Daily Journal.) With a whole chicken ($4.99 at Costco) which can be divided up for the week along with stir fried vegetables, it is possible to survive on $4.50 per day. Forget about lattes or processed foods. Fresh vegetables along with small portions of red meat, chicken or seafood would be much cheaper and healthier.

Stocks sent tumbling

By Matthew Craft and David K. Randall
Wall Street
The market loves a quick solution, and were obviously not getting one, said Mark Lehmann, director of equities of JMP Securities. The slide in stocks was broad: Only a single stock in the Standard & Poors 500, Best Buy, nished higher for the day. Financial companies were among the hardest hit because they would suffer rst if Europes debt problem spins out of control. Morgan Stanley stock plunged 8 percent and Goldman Sachs 7 percent. In regulatory filings last week, Morgan Stanley reported it had $1.8 billion in liabilities related to Italy, and Goldman said it had $28 billion related to all of Europe. Markets fear that a chaotic default by Greece would lead to huge losses for European banks. That could cause a global lending freeze similar to what happened after the investment house Lehman Brothers fell in 2008. In Italy, where the crisis is only beginning, the countrys borrowing rate has skyrocketed to a level that is widely considered to be unsustainable. The higher rates will make it far more difcult and expensive for Italy to roll over its debts. It has over $400 billion to raise in 2012 alone. Italys total economy is about $2 trillion.

NEW YORK Trouble on two fronts in the European debt crisis sent American stocks tumbling Wednesday to their biggest loss since the rocky trading of last summer. The Dow Jones industrial average fell almost 400 points. Stocks were down from the opening bell after borrowing costs in Italy spiked to dangerous levels, a sign that investors are losing faith in Italys ability to repay its national debt. Italy is potentially too big to bail out, but thats the problem, said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffers Investment Research. Its spiraling out, and the question is now, how do you x it? In Greece, meanwhile, power-sharing talks aimed at avoiding a default broke down in chaos. The Italian economy is more than six times larger than that of Greece, which so far has been the center of the continents debt problem. American investors are worried that the consequences from Europe could include a freeze in lending, the disintegration of the euro currency or a bruising recession that would hurt the U.S. They sold stocks as a result. The Dow finished down 389.24 points, at 11,780.94.

THE OUTLOOK: Cisco expects sales to grow 7 percent to 8 percent from a year ago in the new quarter,ahead of analyst expectations.
By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK Cisco Systems Inc., the worlds largest maker of computer networking gear, is showing signs of pulling a turnaround, exceeding analyst sales expectations for the second quarter in a row. We made very solid progress, CEO John Chambers told investors and analysts on a conference call Wednesday. The San Jose company posted net income of $1.8 billion, or 33 cents per share, in the scal rst quarter, which ended in October. That was down 8 percent from $1.9 billion, or 34 cents per share, a year ago. Excluding the cost of share-based compensation, tax effects and other items,
earnings for the latest quarter were 43 cents per share, 3 cents above the average projection of analysts polled by FactSet. Revenue grew nearly 5 percent from last year to $11.3 billion. That was about $230 million above analyst estimates. Sales growth was broad and included a recovery in orders from U.S. government customers that had held off during the debt standoff this summer. It looks like things are slightly better in almost every important place, said analyst Tal Liani of Bank of America/Merrill Lynch. Because of Ciscos broad base of customers and its focus on capital equipment, the companys results are sometimes seen as a barometer of business investment. But in the last year, problems specic to Cisco have muddied the picture.
Europe drags down General Motors3Q profit

By Tom Krisher
DETROIT The fragile European economy is dragging down General Motors prots, forcing its management to look harder for cost cuts and ways to boost revenue in the struggling region. GM said Wednesday that its thirdquarter net income fell 15 percent from a year earlier, pulled down by losses in Europe and South America and weak earnings in all areas except North America and China. The companys shares fell over 10 percent to $22.31 Wednesday as GM exec-
utives were backed off an earlier prediction that the company would break even before taxes in Europe this year. Europe faces a nancial crisis and could slip into recession. Growth is slow is several key nations. Italy, the regions third-biggest economy, is bucking under the weight of government debt. Greece faces default unless it can accept a new debt deal, and the region also is dealing with high unemployment, stingy bank lending and declining exports. General Motors Co. is among the rst U.S. corporations to forecast lower earnings due to the problems. GM CEO Dan Akerson told industry analysts that the companys performance
in Europe is due in part to slower sales which itself is a manifestation of Europes economic morass. He said the results in Europe and South America are not sustainable and not acceptable and said GM must look for more ways to control costs. But Akerson stopped short of giving specics. Sales in Europe are about 18 percent of GMs 2.2 million global total, but they are expected to weaken as the economy slows in the fourth quarter. Citi Investment Research analyst Itay Michaeli said other automakers have hinted at difculties in Europe, but GM was sounding a louder alarm based on the third-quarter performance. some of that magic by ushering the Razr into the smartphone age. The new Droid Razr, available Friday through Verizon Wireless for $300 with a two-year service contract, echoes the svelte form and good looks of its ancestor. It has many great features, including a big touch screen and the ability to use Verizons high-speed 4G LTE network for zippy Web surfing. It also has Motorolas MotoCast service for wirelessly streaming and downloading content stored on your computer. Yet I couldnt get much time to enjoy the phone because using it with LTE quickly wore down the battery.

New system not worth the hassle

ow I know why certain tennis coaches were upset when the Central Coast Section decided to change the format of the CCS tennis tournament mere weeks before the start of the postseason. While it was done with the intention to prevent teams from cheating, the pros dont outweigh the cons of the decision. For those of you who dont know what Im talking about, the regular tennis format consists of four singles players and three doubles teams. Coaches put their best singles player at No. 1 and so on down the ladder. The new system utilizes three singles players and three doubles team, who then play three one-set matches against the opponents, three singles and three doubles team. The thinking being it would prevent coaches from stacking their lineup: a ploy used to put the best players at the back of the rotation where they are all but guaranteed of winning their match.

Rivalry Week begins

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Penn State cleans house; Paterno out

By Genaro C. Armas
One of the more exciting and entertaining weeks on the prep football schedule will get off to an early start in 2011. And everyone can agree, rivalry football for three straight days is an awesome thing. Rivalry Week kicks off tonight, with three football games on the schedule in what will be the culmination for teams not heading into the Central Coast Section playoffs next week. As of now, the two champions in the PALs Bay and Ocean divisions have been determined, but in the Lake, there is still plenty to play for as the numbers get crunched and playoff berths are determined. Absolutely, this is a big game for us, said Capuchino coach Adam Hyndman, whos Mustangs will host Mills in the annual Battle of the Strip. If we win, we share a championship with Carlmont and El Camino. And then its a matter of seeing what the CCS power points brings us. For the kids, I know its in the back of their minds, but Ive told them, You cant worry about postseason play. Capuchino goes into tonights contest at 3-1 in the Ocean Division, a half-game behind El Camino and Carlmont (4-1). The Colts and the Scots have nished their division play. With a win, the Mustangs would force a three-way tie atop the Lake Division. From
there, an overwhelming amount of tie-breakers will take effect. Mills, their record may not be as stellar, but this is a rivalry game, Hyndman said. There is going to be a lot of emotion. We cant look past any team and have to play them like we have everyone else 110 percent. Carlmont will host Sequoia in the Battle for the Terremere Trophy. Last season, a spot in CCS was up for grabs. The added hype to the rivalry game produced one of the games of the year, with the Cherokees winning 20-14. Over the last 10 seasons, Sequoia has had the upper hand, going 6-3-1, despite the Scots averaging more points per game. This year, there is no spot in CCS on the line. But there is still plenty of re to go around. Its a huge rivalry game for us, said Carlmont coach Jason Selli. As far as their memories, after they graduate, its something they want to took back on and say they gave their full effort. Its something theyll remember, win or lose. For as far as the motivational factor, the guys are self-motivated. Theyre excited. Preparation for tonights game has changed a bit, given the shorten work schedule and the time change. Both Hyndman and Selli said they squeezed a little more in during Saturdays practice and had to shorten practices a bit with darkness creeping in an earlier

The Northern California junior college water polo community will turn its attention to the College of San Mateo this weekend as the school will host the Nor Cal mens and womens championship tournaments Friday and Saturday. Randy Wright, CSM womens water polo coach and tournament director, is planning to put on a show that he hopes will be the envy of every other facility and tournament in the state. I denitely care about putting on a show, Wright said. I think the experience [the teams and fans will] get is something they havent experienced in a while. I want to leave a lasting impression. Wright has experienced world-class water polo tournaments throughout his career rst as a player and two-time NCAA champion at powerhouse UCLA and then attending a total of 20 water polo matches at the previous two summer Olympic games in Beijing and Greece. Ive seen how it should be done, Wright said. How I was treated at a high level is my goal for this event. The tournament features the top six mens and womens teams in Northern California, with the tournament nalist earning spots in the state championship tournament Nov. 1819 at Cerritos College in Southern California. On the mens side, West Valley, the defending state champion, and Diablo Valley College-Concord as seeded No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. They will have rst-round byes and not play until the seminals Saturday morning. The rst games Friday pits No. 4 American River against No. 5 Modesto beginning at 10 a.m., followed by No. 3 Sierra against No. 6 Cabrillo at 11:15 a.m. West Valley will face the winner of American River-Modesto at 8 a.m. Saturday, with DVC playing the winner of Sierra-Cabrillo at 9:15 a.m. Youll have some competitive games on Friday, for sure, Wright said. West Valley and DVC are the top dogs. [If] they face-off in the nals, it should be a great game. The mens third-place game is slated for a 1:15 p.m. start Saturday with the championship game following at 2:30 p.m. The womens side features No. 1 Merced, which has lost only one match this season and is undefeated against Northern California competition this season. Like the men, DVCs womens team is the No. 2 seed. Both will have rst-round byes. The quarternals sees No. 4 Sierra taking on No. 5 Fresno at 12:30 p.m. Friday, followed by No. 3 American River against No. 6 Foothill at 1:45 p.m. Merced will take on the winner of Sierra-Fresno 10:30 a.m. Saturday,
followed by DVC facing the winner of American River-Foothill at 11:45 a.m. The womens third-place match is scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday, followed by the tournament nale the womens championship match under the lights at 5:15 p.m. Foothill-American River will be a solid game. Sierra and Fresno have been battling all season, Wright said. DVC and Merced are waiting in the seminals. Who knows whos in the championship game? Wright said he will bring in portable lights for the womens championship game, just one of the perks he is implementing to give everyone the feeling of a world-class tournament. Wright has been hard at work compiling rosters, as well as setting up the aquatic centers state-of-the-art scoreboard and sound system. Wright said each teams players will have a scoreboard introduction with names and possibly faces followed by a montage of photos from that teams season. Each team will also get their own introduction music. Wright has also been compiling music to be played during timeouts and between match, as well. A snackshack will be manned by players from the CSM water polo team, which will include homemade goodies. Wright is also sectioning off part of the pool deck as a players only area, while also providing home and away locker rooms for the teams. On the north end of the facility is a long staircase that leads to the CSM gym which Wright believes is a perfect vantage point for coaches to get a birds-eye view for taping matches. Its important to put on a show, Wright said. Not just for myself or the program, but for the school and the community. Wright was already well ahead of the curve when he met with the teams last week and provided them with all the information they would need: hotel accommodations, lists of local restaurants and points of interest. He wants everything taken care of so all the coaches and players have to do is focus on their matches. My goal is, coaches shouldnt have to ask me one thing. No questions are great, Wright said. They should just focus on their team and winning. There is a selsh side to all this, however. Wright would love to have CSM as the perpetual site for the Nor Cal championships and to get in the regular rotation for the state championships as well. If he can impress the powers-that-be, CSM could become a water polo destination which was Wrights goal when he started the womens program in 2003. The biggest pat on the back would be coaches saying, That was such a great event, lets have it here every year, Wright said. Thats what Im shooting for. If you want to get it done (right), come my way. Well get it done. named to the PacWest womens soccer honor roll after going 2-0 in the nal week of the regular season. She allowed only one goal in two games, recording eight saves in the process. The Argos mens team had a quartet of players make the nal honor roll of the season.

Burlingame tops Carmel on tiebreaker

Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Burlingame girls tennis team needed to go to a tiebreaker to beat Carmel in the second round of the Central Coast Section tournament in Burlingame Wednesday. In the new scoring system implemented by CCS, there are 18 points up for grabs, instead of the more traditional seven. Both Burlingame, the No. 5 seed, and Carmel, finished with nine points apiece. The Panthers were awarded the win based on winning more
games than the Padres. Carmel (18-4) won 6 of the 9 available points in the singles competition, totally 43 game wins, compared to 40 wins by the Panthers. Burlingame (17-3) flipped the table in doubles action, winning 6 of the 9 matches. The Panthers, however, dominated in doubles play, winning 53 games, compared to just 35 for Carmel. I didnt expect to go 6-3 (in doubles) and we did well there, said Burlingame coach Bill Smith. The key match for Burlingame was the win by Monica and Lisa
Patel, the Panthers No. 3 doubles team, which beat Carmels No. 2 tandem, 7-5. The Patels dropped their other two sets, but that one set win forged the tie with the Padres. That was pivotal, Smith said. If they lose that, we lose the match. Brooke Tsu, Burlingames No. 1 singles player, along with Lauren Sinatra and Natalie Fregosi at No. 1 doubles, both went 3-0 in their matches the only two Panthers to accomplish the feat. Uma Murphy and Grace Hu won 2 of 3 sets at No. 2 doubles, while the
Patels won that lone set. Surprisingly, Polina Davidenko and Alex Harrigan, who were at the No. 2 and 3 singles spots, respectively, were both swept in their three sets. Those two both dominated during the regular season. They both lost to Monta Vista, but outside of losses to Monta Vista (undefeated and the top seed in CCS), theyve never both lost on the same day, I can guarantee you that, Smith said. Other than the rst day of the season, they havent lost on the same day. Polina had an offmatch and Alex is my third-best
player. (Alex) played really well against their No. 2 and 3. In a real match, she would have won the next two sets. Polina, she was up 4-1 in her last set and she just lost it. Bad light, bad line call. She lost six of the [last] seven games. Burlingame faces Menlo School in the quarterfinals Friday in Atherton. The Knights beat Milpitas Tuesday, 13-2, with the nal three matches being abandoned because of darkness. Menlo handed Burlingame a 7-0 loss during a nonleague match earlier in the season.
Menlo pitcher Avis signs with Stanford

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its official, the countys best pitcher is heading to The Farm. Menlo Schools Freddy Avis, who was a key cog in the Knights run to another Central Coast Section title last spring, formally signed his letter of intent Wednesday morning and will be pitching for the Stanford Cardinal in 2012. I used to go to Stanford baseball games with my dad as a kid, Avis said. So it really is a dream come
true to not only attend Stanford University, but to play baseball there as well. Im still adjusting to the reality that its going to happen in less than a year. Its very exciting for me. Avis verbally committed to Stanford during the summer after completing a junior season where he went 10-1 on the mound with a 2.39 ERA. Avis struck out 106 in only 73.1 innings pitched. At the plate, Avis was second on the Knights squad with 37 runs batted in. He hit .459 with three home runs.
The recruiting process started at the end of my sophomore year and beginning of my junior season, Avis said. Ever since then, Ive been in contact with the coach, keeping tabs on my progress. (Signing the letter) was a good way to solidify the process and a great way to cap it off. Now that everything is done, I can start focusing on senior year and playing baseball. Avis said he looks forward to adjusting to college life next fall, but things might not be too hard the Avis family lives six blocks away from Sunken Diamond.
Its a short bike ride over, Avis said. Avis wasnt the only Knight announcing a move to the next level. Natalie Roy, the lone senior on the Menlo volleyball team currently enjoying a run in the CCS playoffs, signed her letter of intent to play at Colby College in Maine. Other local athletes who are expected to sign their letters of intent in the next week include the girls basketball trio from Terra Nova of Ivonne Cook-Taylor, Terilyn Moe and Jayzyl Tauala.
Verbally committed within minutes from each other during the summer, Cook-Taylor will be headed to Texas Tech, Moe is going to University of Nevada and Tauala will stay near home and play at San Jose State. Moe, who will be entering her fourth season on the varsity level, led the Tigers in scoring last season at 21.7 points per game. CookTaylor was second at 15.9 and Tauala averaged just over 10 points a contest.

Leland coach was simply working within the rules of the system. She took her best nine players and put them on the court. On top of that, however, the new format is just too unwieldy. Watching Burlingame coach Bill Smith trying to gure out the new score sheet with myriad erasure marks littering the page means the system is just too much. If a veteran like Bill Smith struggles with it, imagine whats going through the head of a less experienced coach? Additionally, the matches are just too long, with every player guaranteed to play three sets. The traditional format uses a best-ofthree format, meaning a superior player can win two sets quickly and be off the court in less than an hour. Now, that same player may take 20 minutes to win a set, and then sit around and wait another 20 minutes for their next opponent to come off the court, thus thwarting the rst players momentum. There is also a change in the scoring which could lead to longer matches. Now, the add scoring system is being used, also known as the deuce point, which means if a game is tied at 40, a player must win two consecutive points to claim the game. In the traditional serve as interim coach while Rodney Erickson will be the interim school president. Earlier in the day, Paterno said in a statement he was absolutely devastated by the case, in which Sandusky, his onetime heir apparent was charged with molesting eight boys in 15 years, with some of the alleged abuse taking place at the Penn State football complex. This is a tragedy, Paterno said. It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benet of hindsight, I wish I had done more. John Surma, the vice chair of the board of trustees said, these decisions were made after careful deliberations and in the best interests of the university as a whole. He said Paterno was told by telephone that he was out after spending most of his life at Penn State and guiding its football teams to two national championships in the 1980s. The past several days have been absolutely terrible for the entire Penn State community. But the outrage that we feel is nothing comformat, a tie in broken by whoever wins the next point. Both these developments lead to much longer matches. In this day and age when so many people are concerned about the time high school athletes spend in their after-school sports, and schools and districts trying to do everything to limit the amount of time on the court or eld, doesnt this new system seem counterproductive? *** For the second time in a matter of days, a San Mateo County boys water polo had to rally for a big win. Over the weekend, the Sacred Heart Prep boys overcame a 9-2 third-period decit to beat Bellarmine for the West Catholic Athletic League tournament championship. Tuesday, in the rst round of the Central Coast Section Division I tournament, Serra scored four times in the last ve minutes to avoid an upset at the hands of Monta VistaCupertino. Serra, the No. 8 seed, trailed No. 9 Monta Vista at the end of the rst period (5-3), halftime (8-5) and the third period (9-6). In the pared to the physical and psychological suffering that allegedly took place, Surma said. The rings came three days before Penn State hosts Nebraska in its nal home game of the season, a day usually set aside to honor seniors on the team. The ouster of the man affectionately known as JoePa brings to an end one of the most storied coaching careers not just in college football but in all of sports. Paterno has 409 victories a record for major college football won two national titles and guided ve teams to unbeaten, untied seasons. He reached 300 wins faster than any other coach. Penn State is 8-1 this year, with its only loss to powerhouse Alabama. The Nittany Lions are No. 12 in The Associated Press poll.

With 1:43 left in the game, Joe Kmak scored the game winner to advance the Padres to the quarternals Saturday. Its the second straight one-goal the Padres in which they were involved.

In theory, while the new system prevents coaches from stacking their lineup, in actuality, coaches can still manipulate their lineups. Leland, Aragons rst-round opponent Tuesday, did just that. There is nothing in the new system that says a coach must put their best player in the No. 1 singles spot, so the Chargers coach put her No. 1 in the No. 3 spot. She picked up an easy win, got warmed up and nished 3-0 in her three matches. The coach also juggled her doubles teams, taking her No. 2 and No. 4 singles players, paired them up and place them in the No. 3 doubles spot. They, too, went 3-0 on the day. Leland No. 1 and No. 3 doubles teams, incidentally, were in the Blossom Valley Athletic League individual championship match and both those teams qualied for CCS. All the moves were perfectly acceptable, however, because the new system accounts for teams trying to stack a lineup, right? The

that. After 61 years, Ive got to get used to it. I appreciate it. Let me think it through. He shook hands with many of the students, some of whom were crying. Other students were upset. A large crowd descended on the administration building, shouting We want Joe back! then headed to Beaver Stadium. One key question has been why Paterno and other top school ofcials didnt go to police in 2002 after being told a graduate assistant saw Sandusky assaulting a boy in a school shower. Paterno says he should have done more. Spanier has said he was not told the details of the attack. Sandusky has denied the charges. Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley will
of trustees said it would appoint a committee to investigate the circumstances that resulted in the indictment of Sandusky, and of athletic director Tim Curley and a vice president Gary Schultz, who are accused in an alleged coverup. Paterno notied Curley and Schultz about the 2002 abuse charge and is not a target of the criminal investigation. Curley and Schultz have been charged with failing to report the incident to the authorities. Sandusky, who retired from Penn State in June 1999, maintained his innocence through his lawyer. Curley has taken a leave of absence and Schultz has decided to step down. They also say they are innocent. The committee will be appointed Friday at the boards regular meeting, which Gov. Tom Corbett said he plans to attend, and will examine what failures occurred and who is responsible and what measures are necessary to ensure similar mistakes arent made in the future.

Neighbors Palmer,Turner go at it tonight

By Bernie Wilson
SAN DIEGO If Norv Turner wanted to stir things up in the Raiders-Chargers rivalry, he could sneak over to his neighbors house in upscale Del Mar and stick a Go Chargers sign in the front yard or even paint a lightning bolt on the garage door. Carson Palmer could get back at Turner in the offseason by putting a Raiders sticker on Turners car, or maybe paint his mailbox silver and black. This long, bitter rivalry has seen many things over the years, from the Holy Roller to brawls in the stands to LaDainian Tomlinson tormenting the Black Hole. But a neighborly touch? Itll have one Thursday night at Qualcomm Stadium thanks to Palmer getting jolted out of his semi-retire-
ment in Southern California via a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals to the Raiders. Were not very far from each other, said. Carson Palmer Turner They can hear our dogs bark and I can every once in a while hear their kids either laughing or crying. After promising starts, the Raiders and Chargers are tied at 4-4 with Kansas City atop the mediocre AFC West. The Raiders are 0-2 since getting Palmer, who will be making his second start and third appearance. The Chargers have lost three straight after the fastest start in Turners ve-year tenure with San Diego. After Thursday night, either Turner or Palmer will have bragging rights in
their seaside burg. However, those could ultimately go to another Del Mar resident, Aaron Rodgers, whose undefeated Packers beat the Norv Turner Chargers 45-38 on Sunday and face the Raiders on Dec. 11 in Green Bay. Then again, Palmer could yell, Dude, mow my lawn, at Turner at any point Thursday night, since he led the lowly Bengals to a shocking victory in December that crushed the Chargers playoffs hopes. Palmer threw four TD passes that day, including one that led Turner to turn to thendefensive coordinator Ron Rivera and say, What happened? Palmer, though, has been anything but sharp with the Silver and Black,
throwing three interceptions in each of his last two games. San Diegos Philip Rivers has had a shocking run of turnovers that now totals an NFLhigh 17, including 14 interceptions. Its a great opportunity for somebody this Thursday, Palmer said. Its great to be in the thick of it, and be in the hunt, and our team understands where we are and the opportunity that is in front of us. We expect to go out and play good football. That would be a change for both teams. The Raiders became desperate for a quarterback after Jason Campbell broke his collarbone during a win over the Browns. They lost badly to division rivals Kansas City and Denver after getting Palmer, who was sitting out after demanding a trade from Cincinnati. In my mind, I was semi-retired, Palmer said. I was still working out. I was only throwing a couple times a
week, but I was hanging out with the family a lot, running around doing kind of honey-do things around the house that I hadnt gotten done. I wasnt really sure. It was tough to focus on working out and training when you think its kind of for nothing, because I thought I might not be playing this year. So it was just a weird time. Coach Hue Jackson estimates that Palmer has grasped about 70 percent of the playbook. I feel like Ive been cramming for a nal exam for about three weeks now, Palmer said. Its been a ton of info in a short amount of time and really trying to kind of weed through some things and gure out what ts me best and our team best. Trying to gure out how to exploit my strengths and the guys around me, (their) strengths. Its been fun. Its been a huge challenge, and right now Im really starting to feel comfortable and good in what were doing.

Pacquiao faces old nemesis in Marquez

By Tim Dahlberg
LAS VEGAS In the cavernous lobby of the MGM Grand hotel, they were hawking cologne Wednesday that had not only passed Manny Pacquiaos smell test, but had his name on it. For $50 you could get a small bottle of Scent of a Champion, though on this afternoon no one was lining up for Pacquiaos latest commercial venture. Inside the resorts Hollywood Theater, they were selling something else: The opportunity to bring
Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez into your living room Saturday night for $64.95. That deal gures to sell much better than the cologne, espeManny cially with a $25 Pacquiao rebate for anyone buying a 12-pack of a certain beer. And pay-per-view is all thats left to sell for a ght that sold out within two weeks of being announced. The hype is on for the return of
boxings most exciting ghter, who was last seen headed back to his duties as a congressman in the Philippines after dominating J.M.Marquez Shane Mosley in a 12-round decision in May. And, while hes not ghting Floyd Mayweather Jr. as ght fans have hoped for a long time, he will be in the ring against a man who has given him more trouble than any other ghter in recent years. Theyve gone 24 rounds together,
with not much separating them. Pacquiao escaped in a draw in their rst ght seven years ago, then won a decision by the narrowest of margins in the 2008 rematch. That, however, was before Pacquiao exploded into the public consciousness with dominating wins over Oscar De La Hoya and others. And it was before Pacquiao grew big enough to ght comfortably as a welterweight, where he is not only bigger but stronger. Thats a big reason the bookies in this gambling city make Pacquiao a 7-1 favorite in a ght between two boxers who like nothing better than to mix it up.There arent too many guar-
antees in boxing, but one is that both Pacquiao and Marquez will end up at some point in the center of the ring slugging it out. And thats ne with the congressman from the Sarangani province. I think this ght Marquez will ght me toe-to-toe, Pacquiao said. We know the style Marquez likes to ght and thats his style. Marquez showed that in both of his two previous ghts with Pacquiao, the rst one fought at 125 pounds and the second at 130. But this ght has a contract weight of 144 pounds, and Marquez was outclassed in his only ght above 140 pounds, a 12-round drubbing at the hands of Mayweather.
UFCs Fox debut was a decade in the making

By Greg Beacham
LOS ANGELES Dana White has been waiting for Saturday night for more than a decade. The UFCs rst network prime-time appearance on Fox will be a new peak in the growth of mixed martial arts from a banned sport into a billion-dollar enterprise. Yet the UFCs president and tireless one-man promotional machine sees Cain Velasquezs heavyweight title defense against Brazils Junior Dos Santos as the beginning of a new growth spurt, not the end of a quest.
And thats not the only reason he doesnt feel like celebrating just yet. Im sick, man, White said Wednesday, rubbing his shaved Dana White head. I havent slept in four days. Im a basket case. Im more of a control freak than Ive ever been. I just want this to go perfect. Fox is counting on it. The network believes millions of uninitiated viewers will get their rst taste of the vio-
lent, growing sport by tuning into the one-hour show from Anaheim, Calif. White uninchingly calls it the biggest night in UFC history, saying the bout will set a tone for its landmark seven-year television deal with Fox Sports, which doesnt even start until January. The UFC will become a Friday xture on FX, a major presence on Fuel TV, and a staple on Fox with four annual shows. Weve broken records in arenas, been the largest pay-per-view provider in the world, done all these things that nobody could have imagined, White said. But on Saturday, millions of people will see mixed
martial arts who have never seen it before. If you look at where we came from, our goal (once) was to get on free TV when we werent allowed on pay-per-view. Porn was, but we werent. Weve come such a long way. The UFC is giving up probably $40 million in pay-per-view revenue to put this glamorous ght on free television, but White sees it as a major investment in his brand and his sport. Fox Sports President Eric Shanks said the network sold every minute of advertising more than two months before the show. The ghters say they dont feel any
demand to put on a spectacular brawl, even while White all but promises pyrotechnics. Theres no extra pressure, but its still a huge ght for me, said Velasquez, the unbeaten champion. I just want to enjoy everything about it, and I will. White probably could have put his product on any broadcast network several years earlier, but held out for the chance to produce his own programming. Fox readily agreed to Whites long-standing control demands while still putting its own spin on the UFCs longstanding broadcast style.

SANTA CLARA Bruce Miller became so caught up in the biggest moment yet of his football career that he handed the ball from his rst NFL touchdown right back to a referee. Rookie mistake. He now has the special souvenir for safekeeping, thanks to some quick thinking by the 49ers equipment crew to get it back. There was plenty of razzing afterward. Hes not very smart. He should have kept the football, San Francisco running backs coach Tom Rathman said. I was like: What are you doing? You keep the ball! Well, I just forgot. It was a nice thing for him to have some production in the passing game in the end zone. I dont know if hes ever scored a touchdown before. Obviously he didnt know what to do when he got in there. I told him to act like a pro, like youve been there before. I did coach. I gave the ball to the ofcial. Thats what his comment was. Miller, a cheerful redhead with the beard to match, caught the 49ers lone touchdown in Sundays 19-11 win at Washington and has emerged as a feel-good story in a season of successes for the NFC West-leading Niners (7-1). Hes a converted defensive end making the most of his chances at fullback an opportunity he landed only after starter Moran Norris went down with a fractured left bula during training camp.

Selli said that the rivalry game could not come at a better time, as his Scots try to turn the corner following a disappointing loss to El Camino which will ultimately knocked them from the playoffs. It was tough, Selli said. We all felt it (but)
were going to focus on winning the football game and go after it. Further south, Menlo-Atherton will try to rebound from a 35-0 loss to Terra Nova last Friday when they welcome long-time rival Woodside.

Taking care of your tools

By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
For larger tools such as pointed shovels, grub hoes and certain garden hoes, lightly le the working edge every spring and as needed during the season to keep them working efciently.
Having finally finished my annual fall cleanup in the garden, I can now turn my attention to cleaning what helped me accomplish all that work: my tools. Without good tools, gardening is a chore. My father always used to say, The right tool for the job cuts the work in half. Oddly enough, my father was neither handy nor owned a lot of tools a topic that could ll another column! Somehow, I focused less on Dads habits and capabilities and more on the intent of his numerous expressions. That may explain my extensive collection of garden tools. Some of my tools have been around for longer than I have, and are as useful today as they were when they were made. I inherited some when I bought the house we live in; they were left in the barn after years of good service to generations of previous owners. Others I bought at yard sales or antique shops. In general, I nd that new tools are not as well made or well designed ergonomically as old tools were. As was the case with many products, once garden tools became massproduced, factories paid more attention to designing stackable products in order to optimize the use of space in shipping containers and less attention to the form and function of the tool itself. Here is my advice on tools, simply stated: Choose your tools carefully when buying new ones. Buy the best you can afford. Care for them, and they will last for decades. After use, wash all loose dirt, bark or sap
from your tools with a blast from the hose or, in the case of small hand tools, clean them under running water from the faucet. For tough-to-remove grime like sap, a piece of fine-grained sandpaper works wonders. During the summer, allow your washed tools to dry thoroughly before storing them. For those who, like me, use their tools all winter long, a quick wipe over metal surfaces with an oil soaked cloth will prevent surface rust from forming. Hand tools such as pruners and loppers should be sharpened periodically to keep them working their best, so that the user will need to exert only the minimum amount of force to get the job done. Some of these tools have removable blades to make this job easier. When buying new hand tools, look for brands that have removable parts. Not only will sharpening be easier, but when the time comes, replacing the blade is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole tool. For larger tools such as pointed shovels, grub hoes and certain garden hoes, lightly le the working edge every spring and as needed during the season to keep them working efciently. Remember, the whole point of using a tool is to make a job easier. One of the best ways to keep tools in good shape is to store them in a dry place. Damp sheds, garages or basements will promote rust on metal parts and mildew on wooden ones. If you do not have access to dry storage, wipe all metal surfaces with a liberal application of oil before storing for the winter. In sum, take good care of your garden tools, and they will take care of you. With luck, those are words my kids will remember me by.

Holiday tradition with gifts from garden

By Dean Fosdick
For Daniel Gasteiger, the holiday season begins in May when the rhubarb and strawberries ripen. Thats when he starts putting foods by for the many people on his gift list. The process continues with cherries, tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers, apples, melons and a variety of successive garden crops. If you dont deal with them when theyre fresh, youre not preserving them, said Gasteiger, author of Yes, You Can! And Freeze and Dry It, Too (Cool Springs Press). Then they can sit on a shelf until wrapped as presents for neighbors, teachers and others. Hear the word preserving and people generally think canning or freezing, said Gasteiger, of Lewisburg, Pa. But there also is dehydrating, sugaring, fermenting, quick pickling, smoking, salting and cold storage. The way we go about it hasnt changed much over the years, but the technology is better, he said. All food preservation techniques delay or stop spoilage while sealing in flavor and nutritional value. Yet each does something different. In some cases, new foods are even created raisins from dried grapes, for example.
Here is a sampling of the most common methods and how they compare:
Preserves fruit and vegetables, jams and jellies, pickles, relishes and meats so they can be stored for months without refrigeration.Canning cooks food,however,changing its makeup and avor.
Canning: preserves fruit and vegetables, jams and jellies, pickles, relishes and meats so they can be stored for months without refrigeration. Canning cooks food, however, changing its makeup and flavor. Freezing: leaves you with fresher flavors but transforms textures. Produce tends to become mushy, Gasteiger said. Dehydrating: gives fresh foods remarkable longevity, with vegetables rehydrating especially well for cooking. Having a dedicated dehydrator can reduce the amount of produce you waste, he said. Think
bananas, or those fruit and vegetable remnants that ripen so quickly in the kitchen. Fermenting: Submerging vegetables in saltwater brine produces lactic acid, which is a food preservative. But: Vegetables soften and develop a tangy flavor that some people dont care for, Gasteiger said. Cold Storage: Root crops, including potatoes, carrots, yams, beets and turnips, have tremendous staying power under the right conditions. They will remain fresh for months in a dark, dry environment. Potatoes prefer a place maintained at around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Carrots, beets, rutabagas and cabbage keep longest when cooled to 34 degrees, Gasteiger said. You dont need a garden if you want to put up fresh, flavorful foods year around. Shop the sales. Seek out farmers markets and roadside stands. Buy in bulk. Patronize U-Pick operations and orchards. Picking your own makes for great family outings, and prices generally are about a third of what theyd be if someone did it for you, Gasteiger said. Interest in home canning products has risen 35 percent over the past three years, said Lauren Devine-Hager, a product research and test-kitchen analyst with Jarden Home Brands, which manufactures the classic Ball home canning Mason jars. The face of canning is changing, she said. Its not driven by grandmothers in rural settings anymore. Its becoming especially popular among women (ages) 27 to 45 in urban and suburban areas. They want to enjoy it all year long. Few crafts offer as much payback as food preservation. It saves money, encourages creativity and puts a quality product on the family table, Gasteiger said. Small batches of preserves done up in decorative jars and wrapped in ribbons make tasteful and inexpensive holiday gifts. Theres also an ecological component, Gasteiger said. Im gradually replacing my lawn with edibles. For more information visit the National Center for Home Food Preservation: at http://nchfp.uga.edu.

Dig In!
ts time to clean up the garden, and get some semblance of order to our potting sheds and tool storage corners, before rain starts in earnest. Pull up vegetables and owers that are nished or past their prime. Rake leaves. Watch for weeds, especially the youngsters that are sprouting, thanks to our recent showers. Stack outside or bring inside all of your clay pots, and organize those scattered messes of gardening paraphernalia that accumulates during the spring and summer. You dont want to leave nooks for snails and slugs to hang out all winter. Clean and put away the gardening tools you are unlikely to use in the winter. Remove all soil. Make sure they are completely dry before you store them. Give the metal parts a light coating of oil, such as WD-40. Now also is a great time to feed your garden soil by adding compost. Whether you have our areas typical clay soil, or sandy soil like that in many parts of Foster City, compost improves its structure: it makes clay soils more porous and adds heft to sandy soils so that they retain water and nutrients. In a future column, I will describe in more detail how you can make your own compost. If you dont want to make your own, you can purchase compost from a number of local sources, including gardening centers and Lyngso Garden Materials in Redwood City. Add a layer of compost that is about two inches deep. Dig it in to a depth of six to eight inches, or simply spread it over the top of the soil and let it work its way down over the winter. If you have clay soil and you plan on digging it in, do so soon, before the soil gets too wet. You shouldnt work wet clay soil because it will become compacted. Finally, after you have added compost, top it with several inches of mulch. Mulch helps rainwater penetrate into the soil instead of running off, and suppresses weeds. Rose beds are on a slightly later schedule. Pick up fallen leaves as they accumulate, but wait until pruning time in January to add compost and mulch. For information on composting, visit the website of San Mateo Countys RecycleWorks http://www.recycleworks.org/compost/index.html

Accents help holiday decor shimmer

The holidays give us an excuse to jazz up the house with stuff we dont normally wear essentially, its dress-up time for our living spaces. Colors that pop and finishes that sparkle help set an exuberant tone for parties, while a softly glowing tree or table display is a quiet, often ethereal delight. They enhance the conviviality of the holidays, whether your home is embracing revelers and peppermint mojitos, or just the dog and a cup of hot chocolate. Mercury glass, once relegated to the high shelves at antiques stores, is now mass market, and thats great news. The nish is a little more understated than silverplate, so it mixes well with both rustic and rened accessories. At Target, nd copper and glass-etched candle pillars. Crate & Barrel has jeweltoned mercury glass candleholders. Amp up your trees wow factor with whimsical, glitter-iced whales, narwhals and polar bears, and intriguing bejeweled insect ornaments, all at Anthropologie.

Teaching your dog to not destroy the garden

By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
I was visiting a friend recently who wanted help with her garden. While we were strolling around her yard, the familys springer spaniel came bounding out of the house, ran through her perennial border and dove into a bed of azaleas. Moments later, he emerged with a tennis ball in his mouth and then, with tail wagging, dropped it at my feet. Oh, Digger, leave us alone! my friend pleaded. My friend wanted help redesigning her garden so it would be dog proof. Digger was running through all of her gardens, and she wanted plants that could withstand his constant trampling. She went on to remark that the plants in my gardens look ne, even though I have two active dogs; she wanted to include those kinds of plants in her gardens. I found it amusing that she actually thought my gardens were planted expressly to withstand dogs running all over them. I explained that my dogs dont run through the gardens; they stay on the paths and walkways just like everyone else. I teach my dogs that running through gardens is not allowed. My dogs are with me out in the garden daily. As they make their rounds searching for furry interlopers, they seldom if ever enter into the garden beds but that wasnt always the case. Here are a few simple tips that might help keep your best friend from ravaging your rhododendrons. Late fall is a good time to start training while gardens are not in active
With a little training and consistent correction,your dog will pose no threat to your garden.
growth and less damage can be done while your dog is learnng. Start by keeping your dog on a leash when you walk around your yard. When he makes a transgression by walking into a bed or someplace you dont want him to go, give a mild, but rm tug on the leash, say Ahhh, ahhh, OUT! and continue walking nonchalantly. When your dog steps out of the bed, say Good boy rather calmly, but just once as you continue on your way. Be consistent. Dont allow your four-legged friend to enter into your garden beds one day but scold him the next. Dogs thrive on consistency, and if you stick to your guns, he will learn much quicker. Keep your dogs age in mind. Puppies need more frequent reminders, but also more gentle ones. While they are more apt to make mistakes, seemingly forgetting their lessons from one day to the next, young dogs also learn patterns quickly. Be patient with older
dogs too, but believe me old dogs CAN learn new tricks. Commit to the leash training until your dog grasps the idea and consistently stays out of your beds and on your walkways, paths or grassy areas. He must have places that are OK for him to walk and understand where those places are. Once he is consistently avoiding stepping into your beds while on a leash, walk around with him off leash (assuming of course you have a secure yard and he wont go bolting into the street!). If he enters into a bed, say OUT! and point to where he is allowed to walk. Once he looks at you and sees where you point, continue walking, nonchalantly. If he steps out of the bed, say Good boy calmly as his feet touch the surface he is allowed to walk on. Continue walking nonchalantly. If he doesnt leave the bed calmly walk over to him, grab is collar and guide him out of the bed. When he is at the edge of the bed, say OUT! A soon as he steps onto the area that is OK for him to walk, say Good boy again calmly and continue walking. With a little time and some patience, you can enjoy your garden and your four-legged friend at the same time.

Russia races to rescue Mars probe from Earth orbit
MOSCOW A Russian spacecraft on its way to Mars with 12 tons of toxic fuel is stuck circling the wrong planet: ours. And it could come crashing back to Earth in a couple of weeks if engineers cant coax it back on track. Space experts were hopeful Wednesday that the space probes silent engines can be red to send it off to Mars. If not, it will plummet to Earth. But most U.S. space debris experts think the fuel on board would explode harmlessly in the upper atmosphere and never reach the ground. The launch mishap was the latest in a series of recent Russian failures that have raised concerns about the condition of the countrys space industries. The unmanned $170 million Phobos-Ground craft successfully got into orbit, propelled off the ground by a Zenit-2 booster rocket just after midnight Moscow time Wednesday (2016 GMT Tuesday) from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. After separating from its booster, 11 minutes later, it was supposed to re its engines twice and head to Mars. Neither engine fired. So the spacecraft couldnt leave Earths orbit, ying between 129 and 212 miles above Earth. And that orbit is already deteriorating, according to American satellite tracking. The Federal Space Agency said the probes orbit and its power sources could allow it to circle the Earth for about two weeks. That jibes with calculations made by NASA.
Greek talks remain in limbo

By Elena Becatoros and Nicholas Paphitis
ATHENS, Greece Greeces laborious power-sharing talks disintegrated into chaos Wednesday, with political leaders failing to name a new prime minister who will take over from George Papandreou and head an interim government, despite three days of negotiations. The latest setback in more than a week of political turmoil came less than an hour after Papandreou made a televised address to the nation saying Greeces political parties were joining together to save the debt-ridden country from rapidly approaching bankruptcy. The crisis erupted last week, when Papandreou said he would put a hard-fought (euro) 130 billion European debt deal to a referendum

horrifying European leaders, battering international markets and sparking a rebellion within his own party, with lawmakers accusing him of endangering Greeces bailout. Greece has survived since May
2010 on a (euro) 110 billion ($150 billion) rescue loan package from its eurozone partners and the International Monetary Fund. European leaders agreed on a second rescue package on Oct. 27 after marathon negotiations, which involves private bondholders who have agreed to cancel 50 percent of the Greek debt they hold as bonds although details are still to be worked out. It was this deal that Papandreou wanted to put to a popular vote. But after the vicious reaction his plan was met with and an opposition party pledge to support the deal he withdrew the referendum plan and agreed to stand aside, half way through his four-year term. He is to hand over to an interim government whose main aim will be to secure the next vital (euro) 8 billion installment of Greeces current bailout and approve the debt agreement before February elections.
Italian president tries to calm anxious markets

By Frances Demilio and Elena Becatoros
ROME With markets tumbling around the globe, Italys president promised emphatically Wednesday that Silvio Berlusconi will step down soon as premier and lavished honors on a leading economist, who instantly became Berlusconis presumed successor. Across the Ionian Sea, the debt crisis in Greece deepened with the
breakdown of talks aimed at creating a power-sharing government to prevent the country from slipping into bankruptcy. The collapse came Silvio just minutes Berlusconi after the prime minister delivered a farewell speech to the nation. The chaos reverberated around
the world, and investors pulled money out of Europe. The Dow Jones industrial average plunged more than 3 percent, the euro slipped 2 percent against the dollar, and Italys key borrowing rate spiked at a dizzying high of 7.4 percent. Investors fear Italy might follow Portugal and Greece into begging for a bailout from its partners in the euro. But Italys euro1.9 trillion ($2.6 trillion) debt is far too great for Europe to cover. On Tuesday, Berlusconi
announced he would step down after Parliament passes a series of economic reforms to stave off nancial ruin in Italy. But there was growing fear he doesnt have the will or the clout to push the measures through. And some worry the wily premier will try to stay in power. On Wednesday, with the markets in turmoil, Italian President Giorgio Napolitano in effect put Berlusconi on notice that he and the worlds markets are expecting Berlusconi to keep his word and leave soon.

Taylor Swift wins entertainer of the year

By Chris Talbott
NASHVILLE, Tenn. A giddy Taylor Swift won her second entertainer of the year award and rising sibling act The Band Perry was the nights top winner as The Country Music Association Awards celebrated the young women of country music on Wednesday night. Swift was rewarded for an amazing year during which she brought country music to the Far East, scored hits all around the world and continued a run thats made her countrys hottest young star for several years. Shes just the second woman to win the award twice, joining Barbara Mandrell. This is thanks to all the fans who lled
the stadiums and arenas all over the world this year, said Swift, who leaped from her seat with her hands in the air and jumped for joy. I am so happy we had so many to play for this year. You have made my year. Taylor Swift It was a melancholy song about dying young that ran hard against the tried-andtrue country radio formula that had everyones attention most of the night, though. If I Die Young, written by Kimberly Perry, won song and single of the year and the band picked up new artist of the year as well.

San Mateo and Foster City re ofcials immediately launched a full water rescue operation in the dark lagoon. After contacting the womans family, though, police determined she was lying about her family being inside the car. Wagstaffe said it still isnt sure if she even has a husband and child. The exhaustive search involved San Mateo and Foster City re personnel, a some could be waiting as long as possible to gather information before making choices, Tom said. While each ballot will eventually be counted, the last-minute participation leaves nal results and turnout gures outstanding longer.

Technically the band, which includes Perrys brothers Neil and Reid, won two awards since song of the year goes to the writer, who was Kimberly Perry alone. But the message was the same nonetheless. If I Die Young is one of the few country songs that managed to crossover into the pop world. We sort of feel like we are part of the country evangelism scene and we love to hear country songs on pop radio, Kimberly Perry said. It proved to be a song with really long legs. Crossover appeal proved to be the theme of the night.

open tunnels into the debris, CNN-Turk television reported. The workers used the glare of high-powered lights to work throughout the night despite several aftershocks. Atalay said Thursday that the rescue work was concentrating at the site of two collapsed hotels and one apartment building. The disaster management authority said 23 survivors were pulled out along with the bodies of seven people. One of the collapsed buildings was the Bayram Hotel, Vans best-known hotel. It was at least 40 years old, and had been renovated last year. Some of the guests were journalists who were covering the aftermath of the previous temblor, which left thousands homeless and led a number of countries to send tents, blankets and other supplies to assist Turkey in the aid effort. to its customers migrating to smaller cans. Recology estimates it needs to make up about $729,000 in lost revenue from Belmont residents related to the migration. Belmont officials also worked with Recology to determine whether reduced service, such as bi-weekly pickup of yard waste, could bring the rate increase down. But eliminating household hazardous waste curbside collection; twice annual compost giveaways; annual confidential document destruction; reducing residential weekly collection of yard waste to every-other week; eliminate collection of organics; and reducing residential weekly collection for recycling to every-other-week collection would only save city residents about 1.08 percent. City staff recommended not pursuing any of those options because the cost savings are minimal. But Wozniak wants service reductions to be considered going forward as the council grapples with approving a rate increase by the end of the year despite staffs recommendation. Recology is also seeking costs related to Turkeys Dogan news agency said two of its reporters were missing. Some foreign rescue workers who scrambled to help the survivors of the previous quake were also staying at the same hotel. Japans Association for Aid and Relief said one of its staff members, Miyuki Konnai, who rushed to Turkey to help the victims of the previous quake, was pulled out alive from the rubble of the Bayram Hotel but another staffer, Atsushi Miyazaki, was missing. We spoke with her briey, she is in a hospital at the moment, Ikuko Natori told The Associated Press by telephone from Tokyo, Japan, in reference to the 32-year-old Konnai. She had a slight injury but it is not life threatening. Natori, however, said they were not able to reach Miyazaki, 41, yet. We tried calling him on his mobile, it rings Belmont residents migrating to smaller garbage cans that was expected. Recology estimates it needs to add about $365,000 in cost related to residents migrating to smaller cans in the next two years. That attributes about 7 percent of Recologys requested 22.26 percent increase for 2012 as it agreed to spread those charges over a two-year period. In total, Recology is requesting Belmont residents pay an additional $1.17 million to provide service in the city in 2012. Spreading the rate increase over three years would reduce the needed rate hike by just more than 2 percent and spreading it out over four years would reduce the rate hike by 3.2 percent, according to a staff report to council. Implementing a fee similar to the Hillsborough proposal, could reduce the rate increase by 6.13 percent. If Belmont were to enact a fee of $3.65 a month for 2012 and 2013, the needed rate increase would be reduced by about 6 percent. So rates could go down substantially under this scenario but residents would still see

Turkey: Quake kills at least seven,dozens trapped

By Suzan Fraser and Selcan Hacaoglu
ANKARA, Turkey Rescue workers have pulled out 23 survivors from the rubble of three buildings, collapsed by an earthquake in eastern Turkey, the countrys disaster management authority said Thursday. At least seven were killed and dozens of others trapped. Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said Wednesdays quake toppled 25 buildings in the city of Van but only three of them were occupied since the others have been evacuated after suffering damages in last months powerful temblor. The magnitude-5.7 quake was a grim replay of the previous magnitude7.2 earthquake that hit Oct. 23, killing more than 600 people. Rescue workers speeded up their search for survivors by daylight on Thursday, trying to
but he is not answering, said Natori. Ozgur Gunes, a cameraman for Turkeys Cihan news agency, told Haber Turk television that some trapped journalists had sent text messages to colleagues asking to be rescued. He had left the hotel before the quake, but rushed back to collect his camera after it struck, only to nd that the building toppled. There was dust everywhere and the hotel was attened, he said. He told Sky Turk television that the building had some small cracks before the quake, but that he and other guests were told that there was no structural damage. The exact number of people at the Bayram Hotel was not known but dozens are believed to be trapped, authorities said. CNN-Turk television said a number of people were also said to be waiting at an ofce of an inter-city bus rm under the hotel when the quake hit. the extra fee on their bills. Offsetting the increase with cash from solid waste fund reserves raises a number of issues including the citys limited one-time discretionary funds; and that Allied Waste, the citys former garbage provider, is demanding Belmont pay it $1.1 million by September 2012 to settle an outstanding account balance related to an old contract. Spreading the cost over time would require Belmont residents to pay Recology interest, although the required rate increase would be lower, causing ratepayers to have lower monthly bills. The council directed staff to bring back a variety of scenarios that will avoid the big 22 percent increase for ratepayers. The council will hold a public hearing and could take action on the proposed rate increase at its Nov. 22 meeting.

hike. The council also considered using cash from city reserves to help partially offset the increase or whether to adopt a monthly fee, similar to what the city of Hillsborough is currently proposing. The four councilmembers in attendance at last nights meeting seemed favorable of instituting a monthly temporary fee to offset Recologys losses. Of the 22.26 percent increase Recology is seeking from Belmont residents, about 14 percent of it is directly related to the migration of smaller garbage cans. About 85 percent of Belmont residents have migrated to smaller cans, consultant Michael Brown told the council last night. Rates will also likely go up in 2012 by double digits as Recology adjusts its costs related
