By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Foster City Council approved a 6.4 percent increase to garbage rates last night in a special Proposition 218 public hearing. The hearing allowed residents to ofcially protest the increase and if a majority did, the council would have had to gure out another way to pay Recology the money it lost this year and expects to lose next year based on residents migrating to smaller 32- and 20-gallon cans. Only 10 residents sent in protests but BILL SILVERFARB/DAILY JOURNAL Foster City is the latest city on the Peninsula to see increases more than 3,600 were needed to prevent the rate hike. to their garbage rates.

The approval means residents will see the increase in their next bill, which will be mailed out next Wednesday for the months of December, January and February. The increase will Linda Koelling be reected for the months of January and February. The monthly cost for a 20-gallon can will rise from the current rate of $11.11 to $11.82 next year and from $17.78 to $18.92 for the 32-gallon can. Foster City Manager Jim Hardy called

the increase modest compared to other cities who contract with Recology through the South Bayside Waste Management Authority, which represents most cities in the county. The increase did not get unanimous approval, however, as Councilman Rick Wykoff voted against it. I have a real problem with the rate increase so soon after joining the service, Wykoff said.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Utility ofcials Monday were continuing to investigate what caused a 60-inch water main to burst in South San Francisco on Friday, sending more than a million gallons of water down streets and into homes. A leak was rst detected where a 12inch water supply pipeline connected to

a 60-inch pipeline on Elm Street and Park Way at about 9:45 a.m., San Francisco Public Utilities Commission manager of water supply David Briggs said Monday. Some time between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m., what was rst a small leak turned into a geyser shooting water 60 feet into the air, Briggs said. Emergency responders initially couldnt get within 20 feet of the rupture

because of the amount of water gushing from the break, he said. Between 1 and 2 million gallons of water poured into the neighborhood before the water was totally shut off at about 12:55 p.m., Briggs said. As many as a dozen homes, 10 vehicles, sections of surrounding sidewalk and public and private landscaping were

Missing: NYC parrot; loves to sing opera
NEW YORK A heartbroken New York City man is desperately searching for his opera-singing parrot. Captain, a 25-year-old green and yellow Amazon parrot, flew off Allen Kirsons shoulder as they went biking in Brooklyn on the day after Thanksgiving. The New York Post says the talented bird who loves to sing opera has performed at senior citizen homes and childrens hospitals. Kirson says Captain also dances, and has a big vocabulary. launched within days of Jacksons unexpected death in June 2009. Prosecutors want a judge to sentence the 58-year-old Murray to the maximum four-year prison term. Defense attorConrad Murray neys counter that Murray already faces a lifetime of shame and diminished opportunities and should receive probation. How long Murray might remain behind bars depends on the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department, which would base the decision on good behavior and other factors. Even without overcrowding and a new state law that will send Murray to county jail rather than prison, a four-year sentence could be cut in half by good behavior. It remained unclear Monday whether Jacksons family will speak during the sentencing hearing. His mother Katherine and several siblings routinely attended the six-week trial that ended with the conviction on Nov. 7. Prosecutors portrayed Murray as an incompetent doctor who administered propofol an extremely potent anesthetic normally used during surgery in Jacksons bedroom without adequate safeguards and botched his care when things went wrong. The prosecution is also are seeking restitution for Jacksons three children and led a statement from the singers estate stating the cost of the singers funeral was more than $1.8 million. The letter also notes that Jackson would have earned $100 million if he had performed a planned series of comeback concerts in London. The doctors fate lies with Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor, who will determine the sentence and had harsh words for Murray on the day he was convicted. Dr. Murrays reckless conduct in this case poses a demonstrable risk to the safety of the public, Pastor said before the Houston-based cardiologist was led from the courtroom in handcuffs. Pastor also could address Murrays decision to participate in a documentary that was lmed throughout the trial and aired days after Murrays conviction.

Defense points finger in murder case


District attorney says teen died for something stupid
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Police reports
Garden of sin
The landscaping in front of a church was damaged on Miller Avenue in South San Francisco before 9:15 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12.

A 15-year-old boy fatally stabbed after he and friends threw rocks at a car in Redwood City nearly three years ago died because another teen escalated a very, very stupid street confrontation into something lethal, a prosecutor told jurors during opening statements yesterday. The victim, Matthew Johnson, was not right to hurl the rocks at the red Honda Civic carrying defendant Luis Adolfo Villa and three cousins but that did not justify the then-17year-old stabbing him repeatedly in the chest, back and leg, said prosecutor Joe Cannon. Defense attorney Mike Hroziencik agreed Johnson died tragically and too young but argued that in the rush to solve the case authorities did not immediately test the lone piece of forensic evidence and believed the ngerpointing of the real killer, Villas cousin Luis Herrera, and other family members. What youll nd in listening to this is lie

after lie after lie by the prosecution witnesses, Hroziencik said. Jurors will be left weighing primarily witness testimony to decide if Villa, 20, is guilty of murder and the use of a knife, charges that could send him to prison for up to life, or, as Luis Villa Hroziencik said, somebody else is to blame. The Jan. 3, 2009 confrontation from the initial rock throwing to the nal assault in a parking lot down the street took less than three minutes. The chase was partially caught on surveillance tape from a nearby apartment complex but Johnsons two friends did not see the stabbing and Villas cousins say he is the one who wielded the knife. But those same individuals lied under oath to the grand jury about their families aid in eeing to Mexico and their credibility should be questioned, Hroziencik said.

Theyve already proven themselves to be perjurers, Hroziencik said. Cannon conceded that nearly all the witnesses have been dishonest about one thing at one point or another but asked jurors to consider the testimony alongside Villas leaving the county and his mail-order receipts for knives with blades similar to the murder weapon. Jurors will also hear from Johnsons friends, Bobby Schneider and Steve Munoz, who will detail how the trio around 1 a.m. that day messed around near the railroad tracks in Redwood City by Safeway and eventually began throwing soda cans and rocks from the overpass. One rock struck the Civic driven by Jonathan Herrera, 18, and carrying his brother Luis Herrera, 21, and his cousins Villa and Uriel Villa, 17. They had picked up Luis Herrera from his McDonalds job and were heading to Safeway for a beverage when they heard the sound and gave chase to Johnson

Home arsonist gets treatment over jail


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The Daly City man who reportedly told authorities he was a longtime undercover agent who trained for years before torching his bedroom in June with a can of deicer will receive mental health treatment rather than incarceration. Werner Heinz Muhlberg, 51, pleaded no contest in September to felony arson of an inhabited structure and child endangerment in return for up to a year in county jail. However, he also sought entry into Pathways, the countys mental health treatment program through the courts. Judge Craig Parsons agreed Muhlberg

qualied and placed him on four years supervised probation with the caveat he complete the program, take all of his medication and nish a year-long child abuse treatment program. Prosecutors say Muhlberg has several delusional beliefs, such as working 30 years as an undercover government agent, and is known to county health ofcials. On June 1, Muhlberg allegedly sprayed a can of deicer on a vest, ignited it with a lighter and climbed out his bedroom window in the 200 block of Westbrook Avenue in Daly City. He shares the home with his wife, who is also his stepsister, their two children and their parents. Muhlbergs teen son saw smoke pouring from

his parents bedroom and grabbed a re extinguisher. The re damaged one wall and a ceiling in the bedroom. Muhlberg does not appear to have wanted to kill or harm his family and thought his son would extinguish the blaze. The re required a 75-minute full response by the North County Fire Department.

Euro in danger, Europe races for debt solution


By Greg Keller, Pan Pylas and Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS European leaders rushed Monday to stop a rampaging debt crisis that threatened to shatter their 12-year-old experiment in a common currency and devastate the world economy as a result. One proposal gaining prominence would have countries cede some control over their budgets to a central European authority. In a measure of how rapidly the peril has grown, that idea would have been unthinkable even three months ago. World stock markets, glimpsing

hope that Europe might nally be shocked into stronger action, staged a big rally. The Dow Jones industrial average in New York rose almost 300 points. In France, stocks rose 5 percent, the most in a month. More relevant to the crisis, borrowing costs for European nations stabilized. They had risen alarmingly in recent weeks in Greece, then in Italy and Spain, then across the continent, including in Germany, the strongest economy in Europe. The yields on benchmark bonds issued by Italy and Germany rose, but only by hundredths of a percentage point. The yield fell 0.1 percentage point on bonds of France,

0.14 points for those of Spain and 0.22 points for Belgium. Allowing a central European authority to have some control over the budgets of sovereign nations would create a fiscal union in Europe in addition to the monetary union of the 17 countries that share the euro currency. Some analysts have said that would be a leap toward creating a United States of Europe. More delicately, it would force the nations of Europe to swallow their national pride, cede some sovereignty and agree to strengthen ties with their neighbors rather than eeing the euro union during the crisis.

Obama:U.S.not responsible for Europes debt problems

WASHINGTON Wary of Europes deepening debt crisis, President Barack Obama said Monday the United States stands ready to do its part to help the continent, even as the White House ruled out any nancial contributions from U.S. taxpayers.

Meantime, a top European official offered his assurances to Obama and the American people that Europes leaders fully underBarack Obama stood the magnitude of the crisis.

Wall Street protesters disrupt UC board meeting
SAN FRANCISCO Shouting Wall Street protesters disrupted a University of California board meeting Monday, calling on banks and the wealthy to pay higher taxes to help fund higher education. UCs board of regents was originally scheduled to meet in midNovember at the San FranciscoMission Bay campus, but the session was canceled when law enforcement warned that protests could turn violent. Mondays meeting was held on four campuses connected by teleconference.

WASHINGTON In an explosive allegation, a Georgia woman said Monday she and Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain had a 13-year extramarital affair that lasted nearly until the former businessman announced his candidacy for the White House several months ago. Here we go again. I didnt do anything wrong, Cain said in a pre-emptive denial that lumped a detailed

claim of a consensual affair in with earlier allegations of sexual harassment. But the woman, Ginger White, said in an interview with Herman Cain Fox 5 Atlanta that over the years, Cain bought her airplane tickets so she could join him in cities as far-ung as Palm Springs and Atlanta.

The chances that protesters will get an injunction appear slim, constitutional experts say. Until there is a decision, the tent citys inhabitants are left to wonder if and when police will push them out and if there will be the kind of violence that has engulfed evictions in other cities when they do. City ofcials said they will only move in on the camp when conditions are safest not just for protesters and ofcers but also the roughly 100 homeless people who had joined the encampment.

U.N.: Syrian forces killed and tortured 256 children

I have hope this time, said Amal Fathy, a 50-year-old government employee who wears the Islamic veil, as she patiently waited to the Arab move a declaration of economic war and warned of retaliation.

Since the uprising that forced out Mubarak nearly 10 months ago, Egyptians had looked forward to this day as a celebration of freedom after years of stiing dictatorship. Instead, there has been deep disappointment with the military rulers who replaced the old regime and a new wave of protests and clashes that began 10 days before the vote. Adding to the disarray, the multiple stage election process, which will stretch over months, is extremely complicated. Some of the key political players complained they did not have enough time or the right conditions to organize for the vote. If there was little jubilation, there was hope and even deance with many determined to either push the military from power or vote against the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups who are expected to dominate the balloting.

Shoppers snap up Cyber Monday deals

NEW YORK Shoppers seem to be just as enthusiastic about shopping on their computers and smartphones on Cyber Monday as they were about nding deals over the weekend. Online sales on Cyber Monday, which was started in 2005 by a retail trade group to encourage Americans to shop online on the Monday after Thanksgiving, were up midafternoon by 15 percent from a year ago, according to data from IBM Benchmark. Meanwhile, sales from mobile devices were

up 7.4 percent. The group did not give dollar amounts. The Cyber Monday numbers point to Americans growing comfort with using their personal computers, tablets and smartphones to shop. Over the past few years, big chains like Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the worlds largest retailer, have been offering more and better incentives like hourly deals and free shipping, to capitalize on that trend. Its important for retailers to make a good showing during the holiday shopping season, a time when they can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue.

Raid likely case of mistaken ID


By Kimberly Dozier
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON U.S. ofcials believe a case of mistaken identity may have led to the deadliest case of friendly re with Pakistan since the Afghanistan war began. The Associated Press has learned details of the raid, which began when a joint U.S.Afghan special operations team was attacked by militants in Afghanistan. They called for air strikes, which killed up

to 25 Pakistani soldiers at a border post inside Pakistan. According to U.S. military records, the joint U.S.-Afghan patrol checked with Pakistani before returning re. Ofcials described the records on condition of anonymity to discuss classied matters. Hunting the escaped militants two hours later, the U.S. commander spotted what he thought was a militant encampment, and called for the deadly air strikes. That encampment was apparently the Pakistani base.

Nonetheless, were it not for the Daily Journal, a recent days stories of a new police chief in Redwood City, the outsourcing of police services in Millbrae and the rehiring of John Maltbie as acting county manager would have gone unreported. The same stories did appear the following day in the County Times, suggesting that its skeleton crew read about the stories the day before and virtually reprinted them. That unfortunately seems to be the foreseeable future of coverage. For those of us of a certain age, access to newspapers across this country via the Internet remains an option of last resort, offering no tactile satisfaction of turning pages and having a cup of coffee nearby. And it certainly affects our daily lives to know what is taking place not only in our own community, but those cities surrounding us.

Some of the news thats fit to print


By Gene Mullin

ur family has always been news junkies. For nearly 50 years, we have been subscribers to both the San Francisco Chronicle and the San Mateo (County) Times. Additionally, for many years I have religiously gone to newsstands for the San Mateo Daily Journal, which has become the de facto newspaper of record for San Mateo County. These past several years have been tough times for the home delivered dailies as reected in dramatic cost increases for subscribers coupled with reduced coverage. The Chronicle continues to shrink its size and scope and focuses its local coverage almost exclusively to the 49 square miles of its namesake city. The San Mateo County Times, as part of the Bay Area News Group, continues to suggest its local section deals with Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Thats just a bluff, of course, as the papers interest almost always stops at the Santa Clara Countys northern border. Admittedly, San Mateo County has no one

Guest perspective
We will likely continue our longtime subscriptions to the two major dailies as these habits are hard to break. Most of my neighbors have managed to disconnect with the papers, as the delivery folks only make one or two car stops per block in our neighborhood. Its just a little sad to peer out into the future, because its evident that things are unlikely to reverse course. So thanks to Jon Mays and his staff for doing the task others have ignored, and contributing to a sense of community involvement that only comes from being aware of community happenings.
Gene Mullin is a former member of the California Assembly and the former mayor of South San Francisco.

Burlingame Recology rates
Editor, At a recent Burlingame City Council meeting, Finance Director Jesus Nava advised that the new 2012 Recology rates for residents of Burlingame would increase 25 percent. Mr. Nava told the council and audience the reason for said increase is because customers are migrating to smaller garbage cans plus more people are recycling. But why was this large increase allowed to happen when the Recology contract was up for review by city administrators? Was this increase allowed in the original Recology agreement with the city of Burlingame? Recologys recent newsletter this week states thanks to all your efforts, recycle and compost tonnages for single-family residents are up by 30 percent since start of program. The only thing I can conclude is the more we recycle, the more our rates will increase. Also, do we really need weekly pick-up for recycle bins? Perhaps we can investigate going back to every other week pickup. It is wonderful that so many residents are recycling, but I had no idea that a consequence would be a huge increase every year for doing so. Occupy movement take over golf courses (Too Busy to Protest, in the Nov. 25 Daily Journal). Perhaps you were too upset to read the second sentence which said the news media should report the occupy story in the same way it covered the San Francisco march by 35,000 anti-abortion protesters by ignoring them. Clear enough? I hope satire, parody and sarcasm arent dead. Jobs, Chaplin, Twain, Susan B. Anthony, Irvin Berlin, Roger and Hammerstein I could go on and on. With the exception of some indoctrinated too thoroughly too early in life, faith in the supernatural disappears with increased educational level, while it tends to contaminate politics and retard education and science.

Trusting what?
Dear Editor, Again, Dorothy Dimitre nails it (Please explain column in the Nov. 23 edition of the Daily Journal), this time about the troublesome In God we trust, which is not only a strange obsession of many in this country, but the symbol of so much misery in the world, from way back in the darkest of ages and up to what should be a more enlightened America. What does it actually mean? That we dont trust ourselves and rather believe in passive praying instead of human action when faced with problems? We have seen what that results in! So what if this alleged trustworthy object doesnt exist? There is not a shred of proof, while evidence, logic and reason support non-existence. Tens of millions of Americans, and most of the industrialized world do not believe in deities. That includes most of the best and brightest who ever lived, including Einstein, Edison, Linus Pauling, Bill Gates, Steve

Apology?
Editor, Attorney General Eric Holder, when questioned by a congressional committee about his role in Fast and Furious, the giveaway of guns to Mexican drug cartels, refused to apologize to the family of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry, who was murdered by Mexican drug-gangs, using the same guns our government supplied them. I dont get it. The Obama State Department just apologized to the family of Samir Khan, an Al-Qaida terrorist, who was killed in the same drone strike that killed Al-Qaida mastermind Anwar Awlaki. So the Obama administration apologizes to the family of a terrorist, yet refuses to apologize to the family of our border agent who was killed by our own misguided policy?

here may be no easier way to end up in the doghouse than to misspeak, however unintentionally, about said canines. And kitties. Actually, any and all animals that make their way through the Peninsula Humane Society to be fair. A recent column set tongues wagging, and fetched me a strong reminder of this lesson, when I misidentied PHS/SPCA as a no-kill shelter. At its core, the column used the amazing gas chamber survival of an Alabama stray pooch as a reminder why spaying and neutering pets are so key to combating overpopulation. Opting for a shelter dog or cat can also be as good, if not better, alternative to setting ones heart on an animal sold by a breeder. Greater participation in both will spare more animals a trip down Death Row, like the 4-year-old dog renamed Daniel. In the course of laying out my argument and pulling on the heart strings, not to mention giving a positive shoutout to our local facility, I wrote of shelter animals, The ones fortunate enough to land at the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA in San Mateo County are among the lucky and not just because of the sparkly new Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion in Burlingame. PHS/SPCA has a no-kill policy, meaning these animals can take as long as necessary to wiggle their way into the heart of just the right new mom and dad. Everybody all together now, awwww. But like the all roads paved with good intentions, you can just imagine where this one led. The ink was barely dry on the proverbial newspaper page before readers were calling and writing to correct me. Some were kind. Was I purposely given wrong information? Oh my goodness! Others had a bark so strong I worry about their bite. Maybe I ought to do a little research! Maybe I ought to check with that fella who writes the Pet Tip. Some cried through their messages. Sometimes a meow or bark could be heard as they gave a correction. Regardless of the delivery, the message was the same: PHS/SPCA is technically not a nokill shelter. The hair bristled on the back of my neck initially. Cmon, throw me a bone! My denition of a no-kill shelter is one in which all healthy, adoptable animals are guaranteed life until they are chosen. Animals are not euthanized only for population control. At least thats what I meant by the term. Having spoken to PHS spokesman Scott Delucchi otherwise know as the fella who writes the Pet Tip prior to the column about the facilitys guidelines, I thought I was right. Seems I was about the details; completely wrong about the ofcial label. In a post-column call to Delucchi, tail between my legs, he claried the Lantos center technically is no-kill because that is where all the adoptable critters go. But sometimes animals are too aggressive or sick and dont qualify. If you really want to get letters, he joked, write about the debate between shelters who accept every animal and those who turn some away. Needless to say, my message of spaying and neutering remains wholeheartedly the same. As the holiday season begins, when visions of puppies and kittens join those dancing sugarplums in the minds of boys and girls, the push to choose shelter animals is also no less resolute. But when it comes to labeling PHS/SPCA, this old dog has certainly learned a new trick or at least a new denition and for that I say thank you. Now can we let sleeping dogs lie?

GM to offer free cars to Volt owners


By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT General Motors, concerned about the image of its Chevrolet Volt, is offering free loaner vehicles to owners who are worried about the electric cars catching re. The move comes after a government safety agency said on Friday that it is investigating res involving the Volts lithium-ion battery packs following crash tests. Thus far, the Volt tests have not raised concerns about the safety of other electric cars, the agency has said.

GM said on Monday that the vehicle is safe. But it will contact owners of the more than 5,000 Volts sold in North America since December 2010 to reassure them. It will also offer loaner cars to ensure that owners are satised and condent in their purchase. GM has not put a time limit on how long customers can keep the loaners, but said the offer is not a response to demands from customers. The National Highway Trafc Safety Administration said a Volt battery pack that was being monitored caught re on Thursday, a week after it was hit in a sideimpact crash test. The agency said anoth-

er battery that was crash-tested recently gave off smoke and sparks. The latest res are in addition to a battery re at a test facility in Wisconsin back in June. The Volt, which can travel about 35 miles on electric power before a small gasoline generator kicks in to run the car, has helped Chevrolets public image, and GM is eager to protect that good will. The company has promoted the car extensively as a rst step toward independence from foreign oil, and the Volt has helped counter a gas-guzzling image left over from years of GM selling mainly pickup trucks and inefcient sport utility vehicles.

Sales of new homes up in October,but prices fall


By Derek Kravitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Americans bought slightly more new homes in October, a hopeful sign for the troubled housing market. But the median sales price fell to its lowest level of the year, and the overall sales pace is trailing last years the worst in half a century. The report suggests housing continues to drag on the U.S. economy and is a long way from recovering. New-home sales increased 1.3 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 307,000, the Commerce Department said Monday. Thats less than half the 700,000 that economists say must be sold to sustain a healthy housing market. Septembers gures were also revised down signicantly to show a weaker pace than rst estimated. Last years 323,000 new homes sold were the fewest since the government began keeping records in 1963. This year isnt faring much better.

Business brief
Top GOP aide for House panel has ties to Solyndra
WASHINGTON The top GOP aide to a House committee investigating Solyndra Inc. once worked for a lobbying rm that helped the now-bankrupt solar company apply for a half-billion-dollar federal loan. Gary Andres, staff director of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, was a vice chairman at Dutko Worldwide until last December, when he was appointed to his current post by Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the energy panel. The committee is investigating Solyndra, which received a $528 million Energy Department loan in 2009. The company later went bankrupt and laid off its 1,100 workers.

Plenty of interest in CCS finals


t should be an interesting weekend for Central Coast Section football championship games. With the Open Division depleted of some longtime participants, the West Catholic Athletic League has spread throughout the ve division title games and in three of the ve, private schools face public schools in the ultimate showdown of public versus private. In the Open Division, No. 4 Palo Alto takes on top-seeded Bellarmine; the Division I nal is a grudge match for San Mateo County bragging rights as No. 2 Menlo-Atherton faces No. 1 Serra at 3 p.m. Saturday at Terra Nova. Division II is an all-public school affair between No. 1 Los Gatos and No. 2 Pioneer, while Division III is an allprivate matchup as San Francisco rivals St. Ignatius and Sacred Heart Cathedral square off. Division IV is a showdown between undefeated and No. 2 seed Carmel against No. 1 Palma. History suggests the WCAL schools, along with Palma, should dominate in the title games, but you can never say never. Palo Alto is the defending Division I state champion and knocked off Valley Christian to win the Open Division title in 2010. And believe it or not, I think M-A is going to give Serra a run for its money in the Division I championship game. The Bears have proved during CCS they are as explosive as anyone offensively and should have the size and speed to match up defensively against Serras ground-and-pound. M-A actually catches a break facing a team like the Padres. One of the toughest things for high school defenders to do is play against the pass. Thats why all these spread-option attacks like Terra Novas are all the rage right now. Its hard to stop a competent passing offense. The Padres, however, are not known to throw the ball a lot. That should allow the M-A defense to focus on the likes of running backs Erich Wilson and Eric

Bears from greatness Palo Alto. The two meet tonight at 7 in Palo Alto with a slot in the Division I state championship game on the line. It just so happens Menlo-Athertons volleyball renaissance occurred at the same time as Palo Alto ascended to the top of the California high school volleyball mountain. The Vikings have done everything just a little better than the Bears this season. Palo Alto is the two-time defending Central Coast Section champion at the expense of the Bears and is also the defending Division I state champion. The Vikings are riding a 19match winning streak, with their last loss coming to St. Francis-Mountain View on Sept. 26. In the CCS tournament, the Vikings won three matches without dropping a set. They continued their roll in the Northern California tourna-

ment, sweeping aside a seminal opponent Saturday. Saturdays win sends Palo Alto into the Northern California championship game against Menlo-Atherton. Weve never been this far before, said Jen Wilson, M-As third-year coach. The girls have nothing to lose at this point. One of our goals was to get to the state championship game. The Bears have already faced Palo Alto twice this season, losing both times. Its M-As only two losses in their last 24 matches. To nd a team other than Palo Alto to have beaten the Bears, you have to go back to Sept. 24, a loss to Sacred Heart Cathedral.

49ers trying to get healthy Raiders head into final month in prime position before potential clincher
By Josh Dubow By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Braylon Edwards has a nagging knee injury and a bum shoulder. He insists thats the reason his numbers are down in his rst season with San Francisco. A key acquisition by the 49ers (9-2) heading into the season, Edwards has only 14 catches for 172 yards and no touchdowns in seven games for the NFC West leaders. He missed four games earlier in the year after undergoing surgery on his injured right knee, which still isnt fully healed. Its not about production, Ive been hurt. I had knee surgery. Now I have a bad shoulder, Edwards said Monday, when the Niners returned to work after getting the weekend off. I havent ever had a season where Ive

been hurt, with the exception of my rookie year. This is all new to me. Its very frustrating, but I ask the team to bear with me. I cant really control being hurt its part of the game. Edwards is among a handful of players who Braylon are beat up heading into a Edwards week in which they hope to clinch the division and the franchises rst playoff berth since 2002. He has been targeted seven times in the past two games and has only one reception, missing crucial chances in the end zone.

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders head into the nal month of the season in a most unusual place after an eight-year stretch of disappointment and losses. They stand alone in rst place in the AFC West. Oakland (7-4) has a one-game lead on Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos after beating the Chicago Bears 25-20 Sunday. So instead of preparing to play out the string on another failed season, the Raiders head into December with legitimate hopes of winning the division and making it to the playoffs for the rst time since winning the 2002 AFC championship. While most of the players in Oakland have little understanding of what it takes to win meaningful late-season games or of going to

the playoffs, there are a few veterans ready to dole out advice. Seize the opportunity, said defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who won three Super Bowl titles in New England. Youd rather play in games like this where Richard every play is meaningful Seymour rather than a game where the stands arent lled. Its so much more fun for everybody. Its a game that were playing. Its not life or death. ... The bigger the game the more exciting and more fun it is. Next up for the Raiders is a trip to Miami on Sunday to play the improving Dolphins (3-8). That will be followed by a high-prole game

55-45 win over visiting Silver Creek of San Jose. The Raiders presented an interesting challenge for Woodside. Silver Creek employed a full-court press nearly the entire game and the Wildcats handled it with aplomb, for the most part. In fact, both teams played a fairly clean game with minimal turnovers and not a lot of egregious fouling. Woodside did not suffer a turnover because of the press until the fourth quarter and nished with just eight turnovers for the game. [Eight] turnovers against a pressing team is a pretty clean game, White said. It shouldnt be too surprising that the Wildcats were up and down during the game. In the rst and third quarters, it appeared Woodside was poised to run away with the win, only to see Silver Creek buckle down defensively and then get a couple of runs in the second and fourth quarters. Woodside scored 23 points in the rst quarter and 14 in the third, but mustered a total of 18 points in the second and fourth quarters, combined. Were a pretty good shooting team, White said. We could have scored in the 60s if we shot better. Woodsides Mitchell Hickman showed he can ll up the basket quickly. The junior guard scored a game-high 22 points, with 15 coming in the rst quarter alone. Eric Bet was the only other Wildcat to score in double gures, nishing with 10. Ricki Hoffer chipped in nine and Matt Ennis added six. Silver Creek was led Rick Dhanota, who scored 16 points, with 12 coming in the second half. Raymond Narvaez shouldered the scoring load early for the Raiders, scoring 10 of his 15 points in the rst half.

Woodside looks crisp in opener


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The early part of the high school basketball season is all about coaches nding out exactly who can do what for the team. Substitutions are usually liberal as coaching staffs work to see which group of players work well together and what players can do in different situations. In the case of the Woodside boys basketball team, there is also the task of breaking in a new coach. Phillip White, the former Menlo-Atherton head man, took over the Woodside program this season, so there is definitely going to be a feeling out period between both coach and players. Were young in the system, White said of his team. Were asking guys to do things differently defensively. Were doing things differently offensively. So overall White was pleased with his teams effort in a season-opening

Luck, Shaw Saints blow out Giants StanfordsPac-12 awards highlight


By Brett Martel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Saints 49, Giants 24

NEW ORLEANS Drew Brees and the surging New Orleans Saints made everything look easy against the slumping Giants. Brees passed for 363 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another score as New Orleans rolled to a 49-24 victory Monday night, extending New Yorks losing skid to three games. Tight end Jimmy Graham had ve catches for 84 yards, including touchdowns of 5 and 29 yards. Brees two other scoring strikes went to Lance Moore, who had ve catches for 54 yards. This was a game New York was desperate to win after losing its previous two to San Francisco and Philadelphia. Instead, the Giants (6-5) dropped a game behind rst-place Dallas in the NFC East and face the possibility of a four-game losing streak when they host the unbeaten Green Bay Packers next weekend. The Saints (8-3), meanwhile, maintained a one-game lead over Atlanta in the NFC South. They also padded their rushing stats with 205 yards on the ground, including touchdown runs of 12 yards by Pierre Thomas and 35 yards by rookie Mark Ingram. Marques Colston had three catches for 78 yards, all on the Saints 34-second, 88-yard touchdown drive late in the second quarter that gave New Orleans a 21-3 halftime lead. Colstons longest reception went for 50 yards when he caught a pass along the left sideline, slipped a tackle and raced up eld.

The Giants took a beating on the scoreboard and on the field. Defensive end Osi Umenyiora went out with a sprained ankle and receiver Hakeem Nicks was rocked by a vicious collision with Saints rookie safety Isa Abdul-Quddus. Nicks stayed in the game despite bruised ribs. The Giants did not get into the end zone until Brandon Jacobs steamrolled safety Roman Harper on an 8-yard scoring run that made it 21-10 in the third quarter, but the Saints went right back down the eld and scored on Brees 8-yard scramble. After Giants running back DaRell Scott fumbled on his own 29, Brees connected with Graham, who rumbled down the left sideline and dove for the pylon for his second TD of the game, and his team-leading eighth receiving score of the season. The Saints never trailed, striking rst early in the second quarter on Brees 4-yard touchdown pass to Moore, who snagged a quick throw on the right side and dove to stretch the ball across the goal line before he was tackled. The 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive included a 23-yard pass to Graham and a 23-yard run by Darren Sproles, and it was the rst of three touchdown drives of more than 80 yards in the opening half. Giants quarterback Eli Manning passed for 406 yards, but most of that came after the Saints had a big lead. He also was intercepted by linebacker Will Herring in the end zone on the teams rst series.

Pac-12 briefs
UCLA res Rick Neuheisel; will coach Pac-12 title
LOS ANGELES Rick Neuheisel returned to UCLA determined to do everything correctly after a coaching career lled with big successes and equally big trouble. Even athletic director Dan Guerrero, who red Neuheisel on Monday after four disappointing seasons, agreed the formerly scandalplagued coach did most everything the right way at his alma mater. All except the winning part. UCLA is 21-28 under Neuheisel, who will be allowed to coach in Fridays Pac-12 title game at Oregon. Offensive coordinator Mike Johnson will be the interim coach if the Bruins (6-6, 5-4 Pac-12) receive a bowl berth. Rick was a great representative for our school, and Ill always be grateful for that, Guerrero said. I believe the sign of a good program is consistency. We just werent there. We certainly had some losses that were of epic proportions ... in the second half of the season, and that simply wasnt good enough. Neuheisel never built the momentum necessary to challenge mighty Southern California for city supremacy, and Guerrero fired Neuheisel two days after UCLAs 50-0 loss to No. 9 USC, the Bruins largest loss since 1930 in their crosstown rivalry game. UCLA also lost 48-12 to lowly Arizona after a bye week, along with a 26-point loss at Stanford, a 29point home blowout by Texas and a 25-point loss at Utah two weeks ago.

Arizona State fires Erickson after 5th season


TEMPE, Ariz. Arizona State athletic director Lisa Love gave coach Dennis Erickson a long leash in molding the program the way he wanted it, bringing in the players he thought would t. She applauded the veteran coachs efforts on both fronts, believing he had built a solid foundation for a program that had been foundering. But after four years of seeing many of the same mistakes being made and the win totals remaining stagnant, Love believed it was time for a change. Love announced Monday that Erickson will not return after a ve-year tenure marked by the occasional lack of focus and punctuated by this seasons monumental collapse. Youre going to allow someone to build a program, Love said. Those rst years were building-process years and I would give him a great deal of credit in that building process. But it was the completion of that toward the end where we began to not feel the on-eld presence that ultimately led to the decision. Arizona State became bowl-eligible for the rst time in four years after starting this season 6-2 before losing its nal four games to miss a shot at playing in Fridays Pac-12 championship game. Erickson took the fall after going 31-30 in his ve years in the desert, though he will be allowed to coach the Sun Devils in their bowl game, to be announced on Sunday. Erickson will receive half of his $1.5 million salary for the remaining year on his contract.

STANFORD The Pac-12s top individual honors are heading to Stanford this season. Andrew Luck won the Pac-12s offensive player of the year award Monday and David Shaw took home the honor for the leagues best coach in his rst season. Luck became the fth player to twice win the award, voted on by league coaches. He joins USCs Reggie Bush, Washington States Rueben Mayes, Stanfords John Elway and Southern Californias Andrew Luck Charles White in that elite class. The Heisman Trophy hopeful threw for 3,170 yards and 35 touchdowns, breaking the Stanford single-season record of 32 he set a year ago. He also has 80 touchdown passes in his career, eclipsing David Shaw Elways mark of 77 and doing it in only three years. Shaw, the former co-offensive coordinator, took over for Jim Harbaugh and has guided the fourth-ranked Cardinal (11-1, 8-1) to consecutive 10-win seasons for the rst time. Stanford is in position for a second straight BCS bowl, with a 53-30 loss to No. 8 Oregon the only thing keeping the program out of the

league title and BCS championship games. The conferences other top honor stayed in the Bay Area. California linebacker Mychal Kendricks won defensive player of the year. The senior leads the Golden Bears and ranks fourth in the Pac-12 with eight tackles per game and 96 total. Kendricks is also Cals active career leader in several defensive categories, including tackles (248), tackles for loss (35) and sacks (13 1/2). The Bears defense held seven opponents to 15 or fewer points this season. USC wide receiver Marqise Lee and Oregon running back DeAnthony Thomas shared freshman offensive honors. Lee is rapidly rising to the level of great Trojans receivers, nishing with 73 catches for 1,143 yards and 11 touchdowns. He ranks fth in the league with 6.1 receptions per game and 95.2 receiving yards per game. Thomas formed a powerful one-two combo with LaMichael James in the Ducks backeld. He has 1,908 all-purpose yards, holds the Ducks freshman record with 16 TDs and returned two kickoffs for scores this season. USC linebacker Dion Bailey was awarded freshman defensive player of the year. Bailey tied for the team lead with 81 tackles, including a season-best 14 against Arizona. Despite serving the second and nal year of a postseason ban that is keeping the program out of the inaugural league title game, USC had the most players on the all-conference rst-team with seven. Stanford had six and Oregon ve. USC receiver Robert Woods was the only unanimous rst-team selection.

ghting every day, he said. Injury means you cant play, but I do have a shoulder ailment, Ill say. Little bit of AC joint. Nothing super serious, but at the same time, its nagging. It bothers me. Right guard Adam Snyder is nursing a strained left hamstring he hurt at Baltimore, but Harbaugh declined to offer details because that would tip off Sundays opponent, St. Louis. Chilo Rachal played in Snyders place. Hes working through something. Im not going to comment on if its better, its worse, what percent its going to be by tomorrow or Saturday or Sunday, Harbaugh said of Snyder. I mean, teams would love to know that information. Just cant expect us to hand it out. Without Edwards at his best, the 49ers are thin in the receiving corps. They lost Joshua Morgan for the season in early October to a broken right leg that required surgery. Morgan, leaving team headquarters Monday wearing a walking boot, said he is improving. Im healing faster than they thought. Im like a wolverine, he said, smiling. Harbaugh sure sounds content with the offensive options he has for Smith. When asked if theres a need for a game-breaking receiver, he said: Is there a need for that? Yes. We have that. I think we have that with (Edwards). I think we have that with him, we have that without him, yes. Still, Smith realizes he and Edwards need to get in sync, while acknowledging Edwards return from the knee injury remains a work in progress and he is still trying to get comfortable playing on it again. I dont think it was anything to get worked up about, Smith said. We need to get him the ball, keep him involved because hes such a playmaker, especially down eld, hes such a threat. Need to get him more involved. Didnt do that on Thursday. Fullback Bruce Miller said he has improved from a concussion that sidelined him against the Ravens. Harbaugh didnt have an update on Millers status for Sundays game.

In Thursday nights 16-6 loss at Baltimore to coach Jim Harbaughs big brother, John, a second-quarter miscommunication between Edwards and quarterback Alex Smith on a deep throw to the end zone resulted in an interception. The 49ers didnt score a touchdown for the rst time all season. Theres been limited practice time, a pitch count with him. And same with the games, said Harbaugh, who didnt want to speculate on how healthy Edwards is. I wouldnt put a percentage on it. The 28-year-old Edwards was considered an ideal t under Harbaugh. Theyre both Michigan men. Edwards had great size at 6-foot-3 and 214 pounds and relished the second chance he received out West after two tumultuous years with the New York Jets. Now, Edwards is working to make sure he can contribute come January, come playoff time. My plan is more the playoffs. We can pretty much wrap those up with a win this week, he said. So, I think the big thing for me is to get back healthy. Weve got ve games left, plus the playoffs. So the ideal goal for me is to just get back healthy for the playoffs. That would be key. Harbaugh said he will speak with Edwards privately about any plans for the rest of the regular season. Edwards declined to say which shoulder is hurting him, though he made it clear he hasnt returned to full speed or full strength since missing time earlier in the season because of the knee that he hurt early in the game against Dallas on Sept. 18. He injured his shoulder in the fourth quarter of a 19-11 win at Washington on Nov. 6. Im playing through a football season. No one is ever going to be fully healthy, but just

in Green Bay that has already been moved into the national doubleheader window to give it more exposure. Thats a far cry from recent years when the Raiders went through an NFL-worst stretch of seven straight seasons of at least 11 losses. Its something new around here and were going to try and keep it that way, defensive end Lamarr Houston said. The Raiders solved a few nagging issues in the win against the Bears with the defense limiting Matt Forte to 59 yards rushing and 84 yards from scrimmage 55 yards below his league-leading average coming into the game. Oakland also committed only six penalties for 44 yards and no personal fouls after averaging more than 10 penalties a game coming into the week. Seymour credits the change to players paying more attention to detail with so much at stake at this point in the season. Everyone realizes the opportunity that we have, Seymour said. You dont want to be the guy that squandered it away. Just trying to play smarter and still play aggressively. The Raiders also were able to win on a day that the running game was held to 73 yards on 27 carries and big-play threats Darren McFadden, Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore were all sidelined by injuries. But Carson Palmer threw for 304 yards his third time in four starts with at least 299 as the Raiders won for just the second time in their past 22 games when they rushed for fewer than 75 yards.

a complete game together where were playing from the rst snap to the last snap and when we do that weve got a chance to be a scary group of players. The Raiders were in contention a year ago, but knew they needed help to end their playoff drought. They ended up losing a crucial road game in Jacksonville and Kansas City kept winning and Oakland nished 8-8, two games behind the Chiefs. Now they only need to worry about their own games, knowing if they keep winning the Broncos wont be able to catch them. Its a good feeling for us to be able to be in rst place and not have to look, Oh, hopefully somebody loses, Or, Get this win and hopefully this team loses, receiver Louis Murphy said. Its good to be in control of our own destiny. Notes: The only injury from the game was LB Rolando McClain, who tweaked his sprained left ankle but returned to action. ... RB Darren McFadden did a light workout on the practice eld without a protective boot on his sprained right foot. He has not played since injuring the foot in the rst quarter against Kansas City on Oct. 23. I think that was huge, Jackson said. I think thats a step in the right direction. ... WR Jacoby Ford said he is making progress to return from his sprained left foot that he hurt in San Diego on Nov. 10 but does not know when he will be able to practice.

COLUMBUS, Ohio If Ohio State did not come calling, Urban Meyer says he was planning to stay away from coaching for at least another year.

If not for the coaching position at Ohio State, I would not have coached this year, he said. Meyer resigned as Gators coach after last season, Urban Meyer citing health concerns and a desire to spend more time with his family. A year ago in my mind I was convinced I was done coaching, he said. He added that he is feeling great. Meyer will become one of the highest paid coaches in college football, along with Alabamas Nick Saban and Oklahomas Bob Stoops, and Texas Mack Brown. The school says he will receive a six-year contract that pays $4 million annually, plus another $2.4 million total in retention payments. He also can qualify for supplemental bonuses.

where the Cardinal reached the championship game of the NIT Season Tip-Off Classic, Stanford looked comfortable from the start and eventually built a 20-point advantage early in the second half. Playing No. 4 Syracuse to a standstill for most of Friday night apparently gave the Cardinal condence as it played efciently in winning its fourth home game in as many tries. Randle started sharp after going scoreless in the rst half over his last three games. He hit all four of his rst-half shots, including three 3-pointers. and ve assists, and No. 24 California matched its best start under coach Mike Montgomery with a 73-57 victory over McNeese State on Monday night. Allen Crabbe had 20 points and six rebounds and Harper Kamp scored 10 for the Golden Bears (6-1), who overcame a shaky rst half before opening an 18-point lead. Cal also started 6-1 in Montgomerys rst year in 2008. Patrick Richard had 18 points and Dontae Cannon scored 15 for the Cowboys (3-3), going 1-1 on a rare West Coast trip.

James Kinney scored 24 points for the Spartans (2-4), and Wil Carter had 15 points and eight rebounds.

Sarah Collins is as solid a setter there is, while Katelyn Doherty provides another offensive option. While Wilson said all the pressure is on Palo Alto, as the defending state champion and Northern Californias top seed, the Bears are not going into the match with a just-happy-tobe-here mentality. Despite the long odds and the even longer reach of Palo Altos Wade the Bears are in it to win it. There is that expectation (of) we want to win, Wilson said. Its a business for us. This is our job when were on the court. We try to have expectations for the program. We know theyre capable of meeting those expectations. During the Aragon-Los Gatos game Friday night, the Wildcats were forced into a rare punting situation. The Los Gatos punter sent the ball down eld and as Aragon return man James Egan came to catch the ball, he was staring down one of his teammates who was blocking a Los Gatos defender. The ball came down and hit the Los Gatos player squarely on the top of his helmet before ying out of bounds.

BERKELEY Jorge Gutierrez scored a season-high 26 points to go with six rebounds rst-round match, beating St. Marys-Stockton in ve sets last Tuesday. The Bears followed that with a near-perfect effort against St. Francis-Sacramento Saturday, as they went on the road and swept the No. 2 seed, 25-19, 2520, 25-23. It went really well. Everything came together, Wilson said. Driving 2 1/2 hours can take a toll on a team, but all of the preparation and planning really helped them feel comfortable. They came out strong and executed all the things we needed. Wilson said the best plan of attack against Palo Alto is not to put all the attention on Wade. There are plenty of other Vikings players who are more than capable of lling Wades void, so the Bears cant worry solely about Wade. In fact, Wilson said her team will focus more on Moody, who each had monster games against Salinas Friday. They did a good job of making the Cowboys pay for shoddy tackling, as both Mashack and Moody took what looked to be short gains and turned them into big touchdown runs. If nothing else, the Bears will give the Serra defense something to think about. If the Padres tackling is less than perfect, MAs backeld is a threat to take it to the house anytime they touch the ball. Those long runs against Salinas, however, will probably be good for only a handful of yards against Serra. The difference will be the team that can avoid the big turnover or make the crucial penalty will win the game. Like the De La Salle teams on which his ter, scoring just seven points, but still enjoyed a 30-17 lead at halftime. Woodside came out on re in the third quarter, opening with a 6-2 run to up its lead to 3619 with 6:18 to play in the period. The Wildcats, however, managed only eight more points the rest of the way with Bet and Ennis draining 3-pointers and the Wildcats held a 44-30 lead going into the nal eight minutes.

Montana State 77, San Jose State 70


SAN JOSE Jamie Stewart scored 21 what it does well than worry about what Palo Alto brings to the table. I think we need to really utilize our strengths: we have a lot of athleticism, scrappy defense and tough serving, Wilson said. Being realistic, [Wade is] going to have some great kills and blocks, but that doesnt mean we cant have that happen on our side of the court. They know we have strong hitters. The Bears are led on offense by junior Ali Spindt, who is arguably her teams best allaround player. Not only can she attack, shes one of the teams best serve receivers and passer, and can smoothly transition to setter for a few points if need be. Joining Spindt on the opposite side is sophomore Pauli King. Senior Seini Moimoi anchors the middle block spot and while she is not the tallest player on the team is modeled, Serra coach Patrick Walsh along with the rest of the schools in the WCAL thrives on discipline and execution, which is what will carry the Padres to their rst CCS title since 1990. *** A couple more plays from the lighter side of CCS football this past weekend: During the Salinas-Menlo-Atherton game Friday afternoon, a Cowboys running back took a handoff and began juking and stuttering through the M-A defense. He was only about a yard past the line of scrimmage when a Salinas lineman suddenly turned around and ended up tackling his own running back, sending a wave of laughter through the M-A fans. Thats when Silver Creeks Dhanota came alive in the post. He scored 10 of his teams 15 fourth-quarter points, receiving the ball in the post and backing down his defender. He would turn to the rim and either make the bucket, get fouled, or both. He had two three-point plays as he single handedly got the Raiders to 47-40 with 2:37 to play as he out-scored the Woodside by himself, 10-3. Its footwork, White said of his defenders problems down low. Its not like we cant

More kids skip school shots in eight states


By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA A rising number of parents in more than half of states are opting out of school shots for their kids. And in eight states, more than 1 in 20 public school kindergartners do not get all the vaccines required for attendance, an Associated Press analysis found. That has health ofcials worried about possible new outbreaks of diseases that were all but stamped out. The AP analysis found more than half of states have seen at least a slight rise in the rate of exemptions over the past ve years. States with the highest exemption rates are in the West and Upper Midwest. Its really gotten much worse, said Mary Selecky, secretary of health for Washington state, where 6 percent of public school parents have opted out. Rules for exemptions vary by state and can include medical, religious or in some states philosophical reasons. Parents reasons for skipping the shots vary. Some doubt that vaccines are essential. Others fear that vaccines carry their own risks. And some nd it easier to check a box opting out than to get the shots and required paperwork. Still others are ambivalent, believing in

older vaccines but questioning newer shots against, say, chickenpox. The number of shots is also giving some parents pause. By the time most children are 6, they will have been stuck with a needle about two dozen times with many of those shots given in infancy. The cumulative effect of all those shots has not been studied enough, some parents say. Many of the vaccines are unnecessary, and public health ofcials dont honestly know the effects of giving so many vaccines to such small children, said Jennifer Margulis, a mother of four and parenting book author in Ashland, Ore., a small liberal community that has unusually high vaccination exemption rates. But few serious problems have turned up over years of vaccinations, and several studies have shown no link between vaccines and autism, a theory from the 1990s that has been widely discredited. To be sure, childhood vaccination rates remain high overall, at 90 percent or better for several vaccines, including those for polio, measles, hepatitis B and chickenpox. In many states, exemptions are led for fewer than 1 percent of children entering school for the rst time. Health officials have not identified an

had received a rst dose of vaccine. Your childs risk of getting disease depends on what your neighbors do, Omer said. While it seems unlikely that diseases like polio and diphtheria could make a comeback in the U.S., immunization expert Dr. Lance Rodewald says its not impossible. Polio can come back. China was polio-free for two decades, and just this year, they were infected from Pakistan. And there is a big outbreak of polio in China now. The same could happen here, Rodewald, of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an email. He cited outbreaks of Hib, a disease that can lead to meningitis, among the Amish who dont consistently vaccinate their children. Russia had a huge diphtheria outbreak in the early to mid-1990s, he said, because vaccine coverage declined. For its review, the AP asked state health departments for kindergarten exemption rates for 2006-07 and 2010-11. The AP also looked at data states had previously reported to the federal government. (Most states do not have data for the current 2011-12 school year.) Alaska had the highest exemption rate in 2010-11, at nearly 9 percent. Colorados rate was 7 percent, Minnesota 6.5 percent, Vermont and Washington 6 percent, and Oregon, Michigan and Illinois were close behind. Mississippi was lowest, at essentially 0 perInstead, Cannon said Herrera will tell jurors Villa said, Watch out Gordo, Im going to stab him and was himself stabbed in the hand and leg while trying to prevent the attack. They ed the scene, not knowing until later that Johnson was mortally wounded, and Luis Villa cleaned the blood from his knife on his shirt, Cannon said. In the days that followed, Villa and the others had a window of opportunity to head to Central Mexico because Schneider and Munoz were less than forthcoming, worried about their own culpability because of the rock throwing. Cannon told jurors the boys families agreed they should all leave the councent. The AP found 10 states had exemption rate increases over the ve years of about 1.5 percentage points or more, a range health ofcials say is troubling. Those states, too, were in the West and Midwest Alaska, Kansas, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin. Arizona saw an increase that put that state in the same ballpark. Exemption seekers are often middle-class, college-educated white people, but there are often a mix of views and philosophies. Exemption hot spots like Sedona, Ariz., and rural northeast Washington have concentrations of parents who prefer alternative medicine, as well as libertarians who fear giving government too much authority. Opposition to vaccines is putting people together that normally would not be together, observed Elizabeth Jacobs, a University of Arizona epidemiologist looking at that states rising exemption rates. A national survey of roughly 750 parents, published last month in the journal Pediatrics, found that more than 1 in 10 parents said they refused or delayed shots mainly because of safety concerns. Many exemption-seeking parents conclude that the dangers posed by vaccine-preventable diseases are less important than the possible harm from vaccines. We are being told this by every government ofcial, teacher, doctor that we need try and headed to the border in different cars. During the caravan and in a post-trip visit to relatives in Lathrop where Villa asked relatives to burn or bury his clothes, he confessed to several people, Cannon said. The other three ultimately returned to the United States but Villa did not until his arrest in July 2009. Luis Herrera didnt surrender upon his return, though, Hroziencik pointed out, adding that the other three pinned the crime on Villa because he was conveniently in Mexico. Hroziencik wants jurors to consider a blood stain found on the drivers side passenger door

vaccines to keep us safe from these diseases. I simply dont believe that to be true. I believe all the diseases in question were up to 90 percent in decline before mass vaccines ever were given, said Sabrina Paulick of Ashland. Shes a part-time caregiver for elderly people and mother of a 4-year-old daughter. I dont think vaccines are what saved the world from disease, she added. I think effective sewer systems, nutrition and hand-washing are the reasons. Parents say they would like to reserve the right to decide what vaccinations their children should get and when. Health ofcials reply that vaccinations are recommended at an early age to protect children before they encounter a dangerous infection. If you delay, youre putting a child at risk, said Gerri Yett, a nurse who manages Alaskas immunization program. Analyzing vaccination exemptions is difcult. States collect data differently. Some base their exemption rates on just a small sample of schools Alaska, for example while others rely on more comprehensive numbers. So the AP worked with researchers at the CDC, which statistically adjusted some states 201011 data for a better comparison. Its also not clear when an exemption was invoked against all vaccines and when it was used to excuse just one or two shots. CDC ofcials think the second scenario is more common. which contains both Johnsons and Luis Herreras DNA. The evidence was collected four days after the incident but not tested until after prosecutors offered Herrera a deal of a year in jail for felony assault. He received credit for time served and will be testifying for the prosecution although that was not a condition of the negotiated settlement. The stain is the only piece of evidence that speaks for itself, Hroziencik said. Villa is being held without bail.

exemption threshold that would likely lead to outbreaks. But they worry when some states have exemption rates climbing beyond 5 percent. The average state exemption rate has been estimated at less than half that. Even more troubling are pockets in some states where exemption rates are much higher. In some rural counties in northeast Washington, for example, vaccination exemption rates in recent years have been above 20 percent and even as high as 50 percent. Vaccine refusers tend to cluster, said Saad Omer, an Emory University epidemiologist who has done extensive research on the issue. Parents who let their kids skip some vaccines put others at risk, health ofcials say. Because no vaccine is completely effective, if an outbreak begins in an unvaccinated group of children, a vaccinated child may still be at some risk of getting sick. Studies have found that measles has suddenly re-emerged in some communities with higher exemption rates. Vaccinated kids are sometimes among the cases, or children too young to be vaccinated. And measles isnt the only risk. Last year, California had more than 2,100 whooping cough cases, and 10 infants died. Only one

The foot chase went south on Franklin Street, ending in a parking lot where Johnson and Schneider hid in the bushes. After Johnson was pulled out, Herrera found him on hands and knees and turned him over with plans to punch him in the head, Cannon said.

R.I.hospitals: No more free formula

Medicare back on the brink over doctors cuts


By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PROVIDENCE, R.I. New mothers in Rhode Island will no longer leave the hospital with a free goody bag of infant formula. To encourage breastfeeding, the states seven birthing hospitals stopped formula giveaways this fall, apparently making it the rst state to end the widespread practice. State health ofcials hailed the decision, noting that breastfeeding has been proved healthier than formula for both infants and mothers. Stephanie Chafee, a nurse and the wife of Gov. Lincoln Chafee, called the decision a critical step toward increasing breastfeeding rates. As the rst bag-free state in the nation, Rhode Island will have healthier children, healthier mothers, and a healthier population as a whole, Chafee said. This is a tremendous accomplishment. Formula will still be available to new mothers who experience difculties with breastfeeding. The new policy isnt intended to force women into nursing their children, according to Denise Laprade,

To encourage breastfeeding, Rhode Islands seven birthing hospitals stopped formula giveaways this fall,apparently making it the rst state to end the widespread practice.
a labor and delivery nurse and lactation consultant at Woonsockets Landmark Medical Center, which eliminated free formula distribution last month. She said the focus is instead on parental education and helping mothers decide whats best for their child. We never make any woman feel guilty about her decision, Laprade said. She said she has received few complaints from parents about the new policy, though she said the older nurses needed a little time to adjust. Thirty-eight percent of Rhode Island mothers nurse their babies six months after birth, compared with 44 percent nationally, according to a report issued this year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

WASHINGTON Politicians of both parties outdo each other vying for the approval of seniors, but their inability to compromise on the federal budget has put Medicare in the crosshairs again. Unless Congress acts before Jan. 1, doctors face a 27 percent cut in their fees for treating Medicare patients. That could undermine health care for millions of elderly and disabled beneciaries. Last year around the holidays doctors were looking at a cut of about 20 percent. Its become a recurring symbol of the governments budget dysfunction. The cuts are the consequence of a 1990s budget law that failed to control spending but never got repealed. Congress passes a temporary x each time, only to grow the size of reductions required next time around. The supercommittees breakdown leaves the so-called doc x unresolved with time running out.

A thousand miles away in Harlan, Iowa, Dr. Don Klitgaard is trying to contain his frustration. I dont see how primary care doctors could take anywhere near like a 27 percent pay cut and continue to function, said Klitgaard, a family physician at a local medical center. I assume theres going to be a temporary x, because the health care system is going to implode without it. Medicare patients account for about 45 percent of the visits to his clinic. Klitgaard said the irony is that he and his colleagues have been making improvements, keeping closer tabs on those with chronic illnesses in the hopes of avoiding needless hospitalizations. While that can save money for Medicare, it requires considerable upfront investment from the medical practice. The threat of a huge cut makes it very difcult to continue down this road, said Klitgaard, adding its almost comical lawmakers would let the situation get so far out of hand.

Were seeing an upswing with people being generous for the holidays, she said adding, due to economic woes, that hasnt been the case in recent years. This year has even had a few new donors. While food donations are accepted throughout the year, CALL Primroses current focus is to collect new, unwrapped toys to give out for the holidays. Watts goal is to have two to three gifts per child which normally requires a couple thousand gifts. Donations can be dropped off at CALL Primrose, 139 Primrose Road in Burlingame. Also in need are individuals and businesses willing to adopt-a-box for Christmas. Doing so is simple, send an email to contact@callprimrose.org and directions and deadlines will be sent. Essentially, the box requirements are to ll it with traditional holiday fare. For more information call 342-2255 or visit www.callprimrose.org. Second Harvest Food Bank of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties is turning its efforts toward raising donations, said spokeswoman Caitlin Kerk. Since 2007, the organization has seen nearly a 50 percent increase in those who need help. For example, it served 207,000 clients monthly in 2007, which has increased more recently to 250,000. As a result, this years goal for support

Center and expected migration to smaller cans. Wykoff is not thrilled with state mandates that call for 75 diversion rates by 2020. He called Assembly Bill 341, which set the diversion rate, a baseless law. The law calls for cities to divert garbage out of landlls by 75 percent through recycling or composting efforts or face stiff penalties. Wykoff said that even though the city only received 10 protests does not mean that more are against the hike. I dont want staff to assume there is no objection to this. Theres more than 10 that object to this, he said. The council asked Recology General Manager Mario Puccinelli to explain the necessary rate increase. Theres an overwhelming misperception that Recology is the main culprit behind this, Puccinelli said. Our portion of this rate increase is negative 3

percent. Recology is actually reducing Foster Citys rate by 3.1 percent due to greater than anticipated reduction in labor hours required to service the city compared to when Recology rst bid on the job. Recology took over the service in January after Allied Waste served the SBWMA for at least 10 years. Foster City residents would have seen a 9.5 percent increase in the garbage rate if Recology did not provide a more efcient service. Most of the increase, 4.1 percent, is Tuesday, Zeke Grader, executive director of the Pacic Coast Federation of Fishermens Associations said. Others say crabs should be available starting Wednesday. All signs are pointing to a robust haul in 2011 after a record catch last year. Commercial crab sherman last year hauled in about 19 million pounds, blowing previous records out of the water, according to data from the California Department of Fish and Game. from private citizens and the city of South San Francisco, Briggs said. No one was injured, and residents have been allowed back into their homes. The section of pipe that burst had recently been installed as part of the SFPUCs $4.6 billion Water System Improvement Program, which aims to

due to the shortfall from the estimated 2011 revenue requirement versus the projected 2012 revenue, according to a staff report. While Wykoff was the only one on the council to vote no, others said they approved the rate hike with reluctance. Increases are never fun but a 6.4 percent increase, I dont think, is too much to ask, Mayor Linda Koelling said. Vice Mayor Art Kiesel questioned whether the rates would go up again signicantly next year based on residents migrating to smaller cans. If the entire city went from a 32-gallon can to a 20-gallon, then all of our rates would go up, Kiesel said. Currently, about 85 percent of Foster City residents either have the 20- or 32gallon can, according to a staff report. Residential recycling has increased by 30 percent, organics collection has increased by 30 percent and solid waste generation decreased by 19 percent in Foster City with Recologys service, according to the staff report.

In Half Moon Bay, news of Mondays deal had shermen quickly preparing to leave. All I know is one minute were here and the next minute were leaving, Richard Bell, captain of the Promise in Half Moon Bay, said.

Unlicensed contractors taking jobs that total less than $500 must state in their advertisements that they are not licensed by the Contractors State License Board.
