Supporters of Herb Perez,above,cheer the results of last nights election as Perez,Art Kiesel and Steve Okamoto, below,were voted into the three open Foster City Council seats.
First-time candidate Steve Okamoto was the top vote getter in the race for Foster City Council last night. He, incumbent Art Kiesel and fellow challenger Herb Perez edged out J e n n i f e r Art Kiesel M i n k e y Selvitella to win the three open seats on the council.
Two newcomers beat out incumbent San Carlos Councilman Randy Royce while incumbent Treasurer Michael Galvin trounced his rst opponent for the job in more than two decades. School board trustee Mark Olbert held the top vote-getting spot in the council race from the rst returns while insurance broker Ron Collins remained solidly in second place. Royce never budged from third place. This is an incredible experience, Collins said, adding that while he is thrilled to have won the victory was bittersweet because of Royces loss. Royce said he accepted defeat only with the opportunity to acknowledge the citys successes and those who helped make them happen, such as former mayor Omar Ahmad, former city manager Mark
Weiss and Assistant City Manager Brian Moura who all participated in outsourcing services like re and police. I dont think have Randy Royce voters made a mistake here. All three of us were strong candidates and have different philosophies on how to run a city government. But change is good, Royce said. Olbert did not return a call for comment. Olbert, 56, received 2,680 votes or 34.9 percent. Collins, 61, drew 2,648 votes or 34.5 percent followed by Royce with 2,358 votes or 30.7 percent, according to nal semi-ofcial results from the San Mateo County Elections Ofce.

with city staff. This will be a second term for Mullin, a local businessman, who joined the council in 2005. Garbarino was appointed to the City Council in 2002, Kevin Mullin after mayor Gene Mullin, Kevins father, was elected to the state Assembly. In the next term, public safety is Mullins number one priority. Violence made headlines in South San Francisco last year with five homicides, three were young people killed late last year. In September, another young person was murdered. Gang and gun violence have since been of concern to many residents. The city hired a number of additional police officers to help create a neighborhood patrol and began working with the community through monthly meetings to create a strategic plan for addressing those issues. The city is currently working to keep up community Rich Garbarino engagement. Looking at the nances, South San Francisco is doing better than many other cities. With about $14 million in reserves, the city has lost staff due to attrition rather than layoffs, stayed away from furloughs and created a two-tiered retirement system for all new hires. Mullins scal focus is on the longterm liability of retiree benets. Creating the two-tiered system is a start, he said. Looking ahead, Garbarino wants to focus on expanding new revenue.

South San Francisco Mayor Kevin Mullin and Vice Mayor Rich Garbarino will remain on the City Council for another four years after beating lone challenger Johnny Midnight Rankins in Tuesdays election. Mullin and Garbarino each received more than 40 percent of the vote from the earliest results. Mullin and Garbarino retained their lead throughout the evening tally ending with 45.4 percent and 42.4 percent of the vote respectively, according to the nal semi-ofcial results from the San Mateo County Elections Ofce. Rankins, who previously worked for the city for more than 26 years, received 12.2 percent of the vote. Mullin called the vote an afrmation of the direction of the council, which he added has a strong working relationship

Incumbent Terri Cook beat out Belmont Vice Mayor Dave Warden for the city clerk position she has held for nearly 10 years. It was the rst time Cook faced any competition in the race since 2002. Cook, 53, earned just less than 52 percent of the vote to retain her seat. Warden ran for the seat to save the city money, he said, by refusing to take the clerks $95,000 a year salary. He also intended to streamline the ofce to make it more technologically savvy. For Cook, the campaign was an opportunity to educate the public on what the city clerks role is in the city. My focus was to run a positive cam-
paign. This is a professional position and I wanted to maintain professionalism in the campaign, Cook told the Daily Journal last night. It was sometimes hard not to knee-jerk react to Terri Cook my opponents proposals. Warden, 50, said the position should be more a voluntary one and advocated for making it an appointed position rather than an elected one. Cook said that should be a decision left up to Belmont voters to decide. Warden, however, will retain his council seat and is next in line to be
mayor in Belmont. Warden wanted to significantly improve the efciency of the ofce and to take council meeting minutes in real time on a laptop computer rather than the pen and paper Cook uses to take minutes. Warden also does not think Cooks position is a full-time one and said he could get the job done in some weeks by working only ve hours in the ofce. He also said during the campaign that the clerks ofce wastes a lot of paper. Warden could not be reached for comment last night.

San Bruno man interrupts burglary attempt
A San Bruno man who heard a loud noise in his house was startled to nd a man entering his Timor Court home through a second-story window in a burglary attempt Friday at 2 p.m. The suspect and an accomplice, who had not entered the residence, immediately ed upon seeing the resident, according to police. While police were on the Timor Court scene, a second call came in from a resident on Bering Drive who also reported a residential burglary. No one was apprehended in either incident. The rst suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 30 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 180 pounds, black hair, wearing jeans and a light-colored Tshirt. The second suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 30 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall, wearing shorts. Anyone with information on the incidents should call San Bruno police at (650) 616-7100.
All four Redwood City councilmembers seeking re-election retained their seats handily, shutting out the one challenger to their campaigns, while two tax measures and a charter change passed. Of the four, Alicia Aguirre came out on top with 4,058 votes, or 23.5 percent. Barbara Pierce followed with 3,831 or 22.2 percent, Ian Bain with 3,597 or 20.9 percent and Rosanne Foust with 3,536 or 20.5 percent of the votes. Challenger Paul McCarthy received 2,217 votes, or 12.9 percent, according to nal semi-ofcial results from the San Mateo County Elections Ofce. Im really excited and appreciative, said Pierce who has already served 12 years on the council. Pierce said her victory was sweetened by the return of all four incumbents to the council because it allows a continuity of vision along with some new initiatives for economic development. Continuing their work was a theme for all four incumbents dur-
ing the campaign with a particular emphasis on the ongoing revitalization of downtown. Bain, Foust and Aguirre did not return calls for comment. Alicia Aguirre McCarthy, a 44-year-old sergeant with the California Highway Patrol, purposely chose not to raise money or use traditional campaign methods like lawn signs Ian Bain and iers. McCarthy could not be reached for comment. Both tax measures on the Tuesday ballot also succeeded. A transient occupancy tax increase from 10 percent to 12 percent received 72.9 percent of yes votes. The change is estimated to bring in an extra $640,000 annually. The city last
increased its hotel tax in 2003 from 8 percent to 10 percent, placing it in the middle range of the countys 15 cities which levy such a tax. The increase Barbara Pierce in the business license tax will add an estimated extra $825,000 annually to city coffers by scal year 2014-15. The measure passed with 55.1 percent 3,406 yes votes to Rosanne Foust 2,776 no unlike two years ago when a similar effort failed. It needed a majority to pass. The difference is the amount of understanding the public had about the measure, Pierce said. I think [previously] we didnt really do as much outreach as we needed to do so that the public
understood the value. Its always hard for people to vote for new taxes, Pierce said. Pierce donated to the committee Redwood City Residents to Protect City Services which raised more than $6,000 to support the tax measures. Aguirre also gave money. Voters also approved changing the city charter so ofcials can consider how a developer wants to use city land instead of simply how much money is offered. The charter proposal, which lets ofcials consider maximum public benet when selling or leasing property, essentially ew under the radar leading up to Election Day but still nabbed 61.2 percent of favorable votes. The recommendation was not hitched to a particular parcel but stands to be benecial for Block 2 of the cinema/retail project. If the city sells the parcel, considered part of the citys gateway, the council can now consider what exactly they want there. The city charter has been amended 15 times since its 1929 adoption, the last being in 2009.

U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, is hosting her seventh Job Hunters Boot Camp in South San Francisco Thursday. Employers on hand will include Caltrans, Facebook, Franklin Templeton and Gilead among many others. The event is free. The boot camp is 9:30 a.m. at the South San Francisco Conference Center, 255 S. Airport Blvd., South San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO With California municipalities watching closely, San Francisco voters showed strong support for a measure to overhaul the citys pension plan for local government and public safety workers. More than two-thirds of the voters
in Tuesdays election supported Proposition C, which would increase contributions by workers and raise the minimum retirement age for some to save $1.3 billion over the next decade. Proposition D, a competing measure that would extend the retirement age even further to save $1.7 billion, was losing by roughly the same twoto-one margin.

Incumbent David Braunstein was easily reelected to his Belmont council seat last night, earning 36 percent of the vote. The other incumbent in the race, however, Christine Wozniak barely edged out Planning Commissioner Eric Reed by just 14 votes, according to nal semi-ofcial results from the San Mateo County Elections Ofce. Wozniak nished with 1,510 votes, or 25.3 percent, to Reeds 1,496 votes, or 25.1 percent. Five candidates were in the race for the two open seats, including Michael McGuinness and Paul Brownlee, who both trailed the other candidates by a substantial margin. Braunstein, 44, nished far ahead of all the other candidates with 2,150 votes. Although Reed lost, he was not discouraged
by the results. Frankly, I had a great experience. I met lots of people and heard lots of great ideas, Reed told the Daily Journal last night. People really do care how the city is run. Both Braunstein and Wozniak were elected to David second terms on the counBraunstein cil. Wozniak, 59, touted her experience and work on regional issues while campaigning as Reed stressed the need for economic development, particularly downtown, to boost revenue for the city. The two butted heads during the campaign over issues related to Notre Dame de Namur University and the dissolution of the BelmontSan Carlos Fire Department. Reed said nego-
tiations with San Carlos were doomed to fail from the beginning with negative comments made by Belmont Mayor Coralin Feierbach. Wozniak participated in a mediation session with a San Carlos ofcial, a lastditch effort to save the Christine department that failed Wozniak after all-day negotiations. Reed was also critical of Wozniak for alienating NDNU ofcials and youth soccer advocates for failing to approve an amended conditional use permit for the Koret Athletic Field. Feierbach, incidentally, endorsed Wozniak for council. Neither Wozniak nor Braunstein could be reached for comment last night.
Burlingames leaderships will not change after Mayor Terry Nagel and Vice Mayor Jerry Deal pulled in more votes than lone challenger Ricardo Ortiz during Tuesdays election. Deal and Nagel earned 36.7 percent and 35.5 percent of the vote respectively followed by Ortiz with 27.8 percent, according to the nal semi-ofcial results provided by the San Mateo County Elections Ofce. Nagel was happy to see the residents support the current regime on the council, adding the group has worked well together. In the next four years, both Deal and Nagel expressed a desire to focus on implementing the Downtown Specic Plan which creates a vision for the business area around Burlingame Avenue. It outlines specics on increasing out-
door space, creating a plaza and building housing in the area. Both incumbents previously said working on the plan will benet the city nancially. This will be a second term on the City Council for Deal who joined the council in 2007 in a close Terry Nagel race. On election night, an 84-vote gap remained between Deal and incumbent Russ Cohen. Ultimately, Deal, a local business owner who previously served on the Planning Commission, won. Nagel will be starting her third term on council. The mother of three grown children, Nagel has spent the last 10 years working in the nonprot sector.
Despite losing his bid to join the Burlingame City Council, Ortiz is open to working with the city to deal with what he sees as its number one issue: nances. Throughout his campaign, Ortiz, a banker, has questioned the citys plan for covering the long-term Jerry Deal unfunded liabilities and called for a nance committee of citizens who would provide budget planning for pensions and retiree benets. Ortiz promised to remain active at council meetings and in his quest to have more transparent nancial reports. He did consider raising awareness for the issue a success of his campaign.
Despite victory for most incumbents, numerous new education leaders will join school boards after being victorious during Tuesdays election. Voters had to choose trustees for a number of school districts Tuesday San Mateo County Community College, Sequoia Union High, Redwood City Elementary, San Bruno Park Elementary, Hillsborough City
Elementary, San Carlos Elementary and San Mateo-Foster City Elementary. While most incumbents were successful in their re-election bids, a number of new faces will be joining local school boards. With six candidates, the race for the San Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees was the most contested. Trustees Dave Mandelkern, Karen Schwarz and Patricia Miljanich were successfully reelected earning 26.1 percent, 23.4 percent and 20.4 percent of the vote respectively, accord-
ing to semi-nal ofcial results from the San Mateo County Elections Ofce. Challenger Joe Ross, an educational nonprot director who lives in Menlo Park, earned 15.9 percent of the vote followed by businessman Michael Stogner with 8.8 percent and Jaime Diaz with 5.5 percent. Belmont resident Miljanich, executive director of CASA of San Mateo County, and Redwood City resident Schwarz both joined

changes to retirement benets, particularly for future public workers, the report stated. Brown has said he wants the DemocraticJerry Brown led Legislature to tackle the issue. Senate Republicans are expected to urge Brown to call for a special legislative session. Public employee unions have been critical of Browns proposals and will lean on lawmakers, particularly Democrats, to stop the reduction of benets for current workers. We will continue to work in the upcoming legislative session, just as we have for the past several years, to achieve the spirit of the governors reforms without taking a wrecking ball to the retirement security of Californias teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public workers, said Dave Low.
SACRAMENTO The states nonpartisan analyst on Tuesday called Gov. Jerry Browns public pension proposal a bold rst step for controlling the high cost of retirement benets and urged lawmakers to make signicant funding and benet changes. The Legislative Analysts Ofce commended Browns plan to shift more of the nancial risk for public pensions to employees. The plan released last month by the Democratic governor calls for increasing the retirement age to 67 for new, non-public safety employees and having local and state workers pay more toward their retirement and health care. It also would put new workers in a hybrid plan with a 401(k)-style vehicle. We view the governors proposal as a bold starting point for legislative deliberations a proposal that would implement substantial

Injured Turkenadopted
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
A naked neck chicken named Timmy who was found with a wounded wing and a swollen eye last month has recovered and was adopted Tuesday in Burlingame, a Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA spokesman said. Timmy was found in East Palo Alto on Oct. 7 by a resident who called the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA to get help with what the person thought was a quail, shelter spokesman Scott Delucchi said. Staff members werent sure what it was either and decided to settle on calling it a turken. Timmy, who is about 2 months old and 10 inches tall, is actually a type of chicken called a naked neck or Transylvania naked neck. They are common in Europe, but they are rare in North America. Timmys feathers are a multitude of colors, including brown, black and gold. The chicken doesnt have feathers on its neck or chest, which is reportedly normal, Delucchi said. While Timmy was rst thought to be a male, now those caring for Timmy are thinking it may be a female. There are dog people out there and cat people, and we are hoping there is a turken person, Delucchi said Tuesday morning. People are denitely interested. All we need is one. It turns out there was one. Shortly after the shelter opened, a Brisbane hen owner adopted Timmy from the Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road. She believes Timmy is Tammy based on the feathers, Delucchi said. If Timmy is Timmy she will nd a farm for him. Most cities dont allow roosters. Timmys new owner is part of a tight community of hen owners who share eggs, according to Delucchi. Within a couple months, its owner should know if the naked neck will be contributing to the egg exchange or nding new digs on a farm.
SAN FRANCISCO Interim Mayor Ed Lee held a wide lead Tuesday against a diverse slate of 15 candidates, taking a big step toward becoming San Franciscos rst elected Asian-American leader in a mayors race that could take days to settle. Lee, a former city administrator who replaced then-Mayor Gavin Newsom when he became lieutenant governor in January, was ahead with nearly 31 percent of the vote. City Supervisor John Avalos followed with nearly 18 percent; and City Attorney Dennis Herrera was trailing with 11 percent. But even with all the precincts counted late Tuesday, it will be at least Wednesday before the citys 468,000 registered voters
know the winner because a voterapproved election system requires that the winner get 50 percent plus one vote. Since Lee didnt claim more than half the vote, a system in which voters rank Ed Lee their top three candidates will decide the winner. Still, Lee was jubilant outside his campaign party on Tuesday night. I worked so hard to make sure that we continue with the success this city knows so well, he said. Im going to work tomorrow, tired or not, because this city is worth the sacrice. It appeared the citys other top elected positions district attorney and sheriff
would also be decided by the rankedchoice voting system. Lees formal election or that of any of the several other Asian-American candidates on the ballot would symbolize a milestone for the citys Asians, who make up a third of the population but have traditionally been underrepresented. Tuesdays election also asked voters to choose between dueling pension reform proposals for city workers, one promoted by Lee and the unions, and the other by his rival, Public Defender Jeff Adachi. Lees Proposition C was far outpacing Adachis Proposition D. Former police chief George Gascon was winning his bid to keep his seat as district attorney with more than 44 percent of the vote. David Onek, former head of the San Francisco Police Commission, was trailing with 23 percent.
Kentucky and Mississippi refused Tuesday to turn their governors ofces over to different parties, despite the nations stubborn economic woes, and Ohio restored full bargaining rights to hundreds of thousands of public employees in a major victory for organized labor. A Mississippi initiative that would have dened life as beginning at concep-
tion went down to defeat, ending supporters plans to use it to challenge Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that established the right to abortion. Across the nation, voters last major judgments of 2011 were closely watched for any hints about the publics political mood just two months ahead of the rst presidential primary and nearly four years into the worst economic slowdown since the Depression. Kentuckys Democratic governor easily won another term, and Mississippi
voters kept their governors ofce in GOP hands decisions that suggested many Americans were not ready to abandon incumbent parties. In Ohio, a new law that severely limited the bargaining rights of more than 350,000 teachers, firefighters, police ofcers and other public employees was repealed. The overwhelming defeat was a stiff blow to Gov. John Kasich and cast doubt on other Republican governors who have sought union-limiting measures as a way to curb spending.
WASHINGTON A conservativeleaning appeals court panel on Tuesday upheld the constitutionality of President Barack Obamas health care law, as the Supreme Court prepares to consider this week whether to resolve conicting rulings over the laws requirement that all Americans buy health care insurance. A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a split opinion upholding the lower courts ruling that found Congress did not overstep its authority in requiring people to have insur-
ance or pay a penalty on their taxes, beginning in 2014. The requirement is the most controversial requirement of Obamas signature domestic legislative achievement and the Barack Obama focus of conicting opinions from judges across the country. The Supreme Court could decide as early as Thursday during a closed meeting of the justices whether to accept appeals from some of those earlier rulings.

OPINION
tive goals. With little denition of what constitutes a fair share, its hard to pin down exactly where these protesters stand on the ideological spectrum. But as the top 1 percent of income earners already pay close to 40 percent of all federal income taxes collected whilst the bottom 50 percent pay roughly no federal income taxes (http://bit.ly/vuc3WX), it is difcult to assume anything but that this group of individuals wants to use government as the instrument to take others private wealth to spread around to those who have not earned it. At its extreme, many Occupy protesters call outright for an end to capitalism and the installation of a Marxist system (See http://bit.ly/r18nBO and http://bit.ly/oLGXGk). Again, a question exists as to the proportion of protesters who espouse this, but a quick perusal of YouTube footage would imply that if Marxists are in the minority, it is a prominent and vocal minority. James Madison said that government is instituted to protect property this being the end of government. This ideal, that government exists to protect property rights, is becoming lost amid calls for the government to use its power, not to protect private property, but to take it from the few to distribute among the many. Aside from the immorality of the taking of property, the practical effect of a loss of property rights is a chaotic society. If we are not secure in our possessions, which are the fruits of our labors, why would we bother to work to obtain anything? Hard work and a drive to succeed would be irrational. We would become a society of thieves, taking from others for our immediate needs.
Rampant materialism
Guest perspective
With all their talk about redistribution, it is ironic that these protesters are now encountering theft from their fellow protesters (http://nyp.st/nATDoF). And that is the problem with taking money from the wealthy. Envy will continue to force the denition of wealthy down until no one is safe in their property. Even though your Mazda isnt as nice as a Mercedes, it may be nicer than your neighbors banged-up Oldsmobile. If property rights are no longer respected, whats to stop your neighbor from telling you to spread the wealth and taking your car? You may think it unfair that Steve Jobs net worth was in the billions of dollars or that Al Gore owns beachfront property. Tough. The same rights that make those men secure in their possessions also make us secure in ours. By eliminating the rights of the wealthy to be secure in their property, we are undermining the rights of all Americans. To be able to freely acquire and use ones own property is a major component of what it means to be free. Our Founding Fathers recognized this and provided protections for private property in the Constitution, primarily through the Fifth Amendment, but also implied through the Third, Fourth, and 14th amendments. Maybe if the Occupy protesters put down their drumsticks and picked up a pocket Constitution for a little perusal, they and the Tea Partiers might be able to unify on an issue and effect some change.

nti-bailout. End the Fed. Even a Dont Tread on Me Flag. Some signage at the Occupy protests read like they belong at a Tea Party. Libertarians have argued to me that the Occupy protesters have similar motivations of Tea Partiers and see parallels between the two movements. That is, if you ignore the mass arrests, threats of violence, public defecations and a need for riot police at the Occupy protests (See http://bit.ly/q6srKD and http://yhoo.it/q5fphD). Indeed, both the Occupy protests and the Tea Party would seem to agree on some issues, like the evils of crony-capitalism. But where the Tea Party takes issues with the cronyism, the Occupy protesters seem to have a problem with capitalism. A fundamental difference between these two movements is a belief (or lack thereof) in the right to private property. In both word and deed, the Occupy protesters have demonstrated their lack of respect for property rights. From squatting on and degrading private land, to abusing the facilities of nearby businesses, a large percentage of the protesters have shown themselves to be little more than vandals and a nuisance to local businesses (http://buswk.co/vcl2el). The Occupy protesters have also been quite vocal about their philosophical objections to private property. I dont want to lump all the Occupy protesters together in one bucket (after all, the odd Lyndon LaRouche socialist pops up at Tea Parties), but a seemingly high proportion of them espouse a Socialist to Communist ideology, belief systems that place little stock in private property. At its milder end, the calls of the protesters for the rich to pay their fair share of taxes hint at their redistribu-

ve accumulated enough to be the envy of my friends if I had any friends. Ashleigh Brilliant. When I was writing the column on narcissism, the subject of materialism kept surfacing. I came across many astute thoughts by excellent authors on the subject and so I decided to devote a column to it. In Erich Fromms Man for Himself (written in 1947, but still valid today), he recalled the political situation that had just passed. He wrote: We ignore the fact that we too bow down to power, not to that of a dictator and a political bureaucracy allied with him, but to the anonymous power of the market, of success, of public opinion, of common sense or rather, of common nonsense and of the machine whose servants we have become. Now, in 2011, in writing of working toward a better society, Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, authors of The Spirit Level remind us, we must try to bring about a shift in public values so that instead of inspiring admiration and envy, conspicuous consumption is seen as part of the problem, a sign of greed and unfairness that damages society and the planet. But how can our corporate interests succeed unless materialism is rampant? Doesnt the success of our free enterprise system depend upon corporate interests and vendors of all kinds convincing consumers that our worth depends upon what we buy, how we look and what we own? Doesnt exploiting narcissistic tendencies in the unsuspecting make it all the better? This not only affects the individual, but our national economic equilibrium. American society is too deeply distracted by our media-drenched consumerism to maintain the habits of effective citizenship ... Our greatest national illusion is that a healthy society can be organized around a single-minded pursuit of wealth. Jeffery Sachs, The Price of Civilization. Besides the constant brainwashing by corporate interests on television and other media that we have to have whatever they are advertising and we are what we have, there are many other reasons why people are so easily overcome with materialism. It could be a psychological emptiness that they try to ll. Some people think that they should have whatever they desire now! (When we hear that 4 million of the new iPhones were sold in the rst three days they were available, it boggles the mind!) How many purchases are made to impress others? From granite countertops and BMWs to watches and handbags, it seems many people compete for status. Some think they are entitled to all that they can accumulate because they are better than others. Anyway, wasnt this country founded on the Great American Dream? Arent those who dont have it all just slackers who havent tried hard enough? (The old Puritan work ethic still rears its ugly head). And then, theres that old bugaboo addiction that seems to trap so many into consumerism. Even though they (the economists) know full well that the relentless quest for consumer goods no longer brings major benets of well-being, they still treat the quest for greater personal consumption as the be-all and endall of human happiness. Sachs. The trouble is, children are bombarded from day one with the message that they must have everything and instant gratication is the way to happiness. These days, few children learn how to get satisfaction from creative play and other activities that help them challenge their minds and satisfy their need to develop their abilities. Many schools have cut down on music, art and even the kinds of science classes that help kids explore their creative side. Childrens time is likely to be lled with school, homework, athletic activities and computer games. In the headlong pursuit of immediate material prosperity, we are neglecting the vital social infrastructure the social capital of family and community that shapes understanding and empathetic behavior in youth and sustains Americas promise to future generations. Peter C. Whybrow, M.D., American Mania. Seems few of those who are in charge of children recognize the folly of such deprivation when half of the brain isnt being well utilized. Does anyone teach kids anymore that true happiness does not come from materialism, but from good relationships, rewarding occupations and taking time to smell the roses? These days, how much time do kids spend with anyone who makes the effort to instill in them the basic values that lead to lasting contentment and fulllment? The problems in rich counties are not caused by the society not being rich enough but by the scale of material differences between people within each society being too big ... Working together we have the knowledge to construct a society built on empathy, not envy. The choice is ours. Wilkinson and Pickett As Bruce Springsteen sang: Wed better start savin up for things money cant buy.

The S&P 500 is up 14.9 percent since hitting a 2011 low on Oct. 3 after European leaders began to move more forcefully to get the situation under control. Markets have been quick to respond to worrisome signals that Greece might be edging closer to a default, which would cause huge losses for European banks. Europe is the last big question hanging over the market, said Rick Fier, vice president of equity trading at Coner Securities. The market has been so whipsawed lately that its really just staying in place until we know some more outcomes. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 101.79 points, or 0.8 percent, to close at 12,170.18. Manufacturer 3M Co. gained 2.7 percent, the most of the 30 stocks in the average. The S&P 500 rose 14.80, or 1.2 percent, to 1,275.92. Financial companies posted the strongest gains. Regions Financial Corp. jumped 5.3 percent. Wells Fargo & Co. climbed 4.4 percent.

NEW YORK Stocks turned higher Tuesday once investors got the news they had been hoping for: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi promised to resign once a new budget was passed. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 101 points. Italy became a key focus for investors this week after doubts emerged that the country would go through with a tough package of austerity measures. Many investors saw Berlusconi as an obstacle to sweeping economic reforms needed to help Italy avoid sinking into a debt crisis. The yield on the 10-year Italian government bond spiked close to 7 percent Tuesday, a sign that markets are questioning the countrys ability to pay its debt. Unlike Greece, Portugal or Ireland all of which received nancial lifelines Italy has too much debt to be rescued by its European neighbors. Europes evolving debt crisis has been a major driver of trading in nancial markets since the beginning of October.
The price at the pump is increasing in almost every metro area across Northern California, according to the latest report from AAA Northern California, which tracks gas prices as a service to consumers. According to AAA, all but eight Northern California metro areas tracked by the organization saw increases over the past month. The Golden States average for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline is $3.84, up three cents since last months AAA report Oct. 11. Northern California gas prices are now averaging $3.82, up two cents from last month. In the San Francisco Bay Area, motorists can expect to pay an average price of $3.91, which is a 1 cent increase.
Gas prices in San Mateo are higher than the state average, but dropped 1 cent to $3.91 a gallon. The national average price of $3.41 is up by 1 cent, which is 56 cents more than the national price on this date last year, when it was $2.85. Oil prices are on the rise, however, with the price of crude jumping 22 percent since the beginning of October and nearing $100 a barrel. For most of the summer, oil prices drifted lower on fears that the United States was headed toward another recession. But those concerns have started to wane as the economy stabilizes. Political tensions in the Middle East, which produces 29 percent of the worlds oil, also have helped drive up crude prices at the fastest clip since February. So far, the big jump hasnt translated
into a surge in prices at the gasoline pump. National gasoline prices have crept up less than 1 percent, or 3.1 cents, to $3.41 per gallon, over the same period. Thats partly because people drive less once vacations wind down after Labor Day. This year, Americans have also bought less gasoline because of the weaker economy. That lackluster demand has kept prices in check, even as oil soars. If crude continues to rise, however, gasoline eventually will be forced to follow. Enjoy it while you can, said Ben Brockwell, pricing director at the Oil Price Information Service. We may be in for a spike in the spring. Brockwell expects gasoline prices which peaked at $3.98 per barrel on May 5 to irt with $4 per gallon early next year.

The Peninsula Athletic Leagues Ocean Division doesnt get a ton of respect in Central Coast Section volleyball circles. So when 2011 Ocean Division champion Hillsdale drew the Bay Divisions San Mateo in a first-round match Tuesday night at Hillsdale, the feeling was the that it would be a toss-up against a Bearcats squad that nished in a tie for fourth in the Bay Division.
While the two teams were close throughout, it was the Knights who had a little bit more, beating San Mateo in four games, 25-19, 2025, 25-19, 26-24. The win is the rst CCS volleyball win for Hillsdale in the schools history. The Knights only other appearance was a straight-set loss to Notre Dame-Belmont in the rst round of the 1997 tournament. Waiting for the Knights in the second round is a matchup with No. 3-seed St. Ignatius (2411) at 7 p.m. Thursday.
[The win] means a lot. Were representing our high school, said Tiyanna Villareal, one of Hillsdales senior captains. Everyone underestimates us. We wanted to show them what we got. What the Knights have is a lot of grit, determination and scrappiness. All were on display as they did a good job frustrating San Mateos bigger hitters. We could not put balls down and thats a credit to Hillsdale, said San Mateo coach Chris Tigno. It took us out of our rhythm. We
were trying to do too much. The nal game was a microcosm of the rst three games: a tight affair that went back and forth and wasnt decided until late in the game. Hillsdale (19-9 overall) jumped out to quick 3-1 lead, before San Mateo (15-13) responded with a 3-0 run of its own to take an early 4-3 advantage. The Knights responded by winning the next ve points and seven of the next eight to spurt out to a 10-6 lead before the Bearcats came roaring back.
Donsrecord setter

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
If its true that numbers dont lie, than Lauren Croshaw is the best cross country runner in Aragon High School history. Exhibit A is the number 17:42 as in Croshaws latest time last week at the Peninsula Athletic League Championships at the Crystal Springs course in Belmont. In winning the PAL title for the rst time in her career, Croshaw broke the 14-year-old school record of 17:43 held by a Dons legend, Nicole Portley, a multiple section champion who took second in the state in 1997. I knew the school record was some time around where I came in at, Croshaw said, but I wasnt really sure. After the race, they were like, you beat it by a second, and I was like, oh cool, thats a plus. I never really thought about it that way, but it sounds pretty awesome. Croshaw, who nished second last year in the same event, held off Kylie Goo and Sarah Shreck to capture her rst individual title and pace the Dons to a spot in the CCS playoffs which take place Saturday at Crystal Springs. Her time of 17:42 was 11 seconds better than Goo and 14 better than Shreck. For her efforts, Croshaw is the Daily Journal Athlete of the Week. I have a bad habit of going out a little fast, Croshaw said of her strategy going into the race. So I was trying to not set the pace that rst mile. I just followed Kylie and Sarah, but their plan was to do the same thing to both of us, so all of us were trying to follow each other. So that denitely slowed down the pace a lot for the rst mile. And then for the second mile, Sarah took it on, and so me and Kylie were following her for a while. I felt really good, so when I felt them getting tired, I just decided it was time to go. I was kind of scared they would catch to me so I just kept on going and going as fast as I could. It was a game plan that Croshaw admitted could have backred on her especially
The College of San Mateo football team started this season with a goal of winning the NorCal Conference championship. That went out the window with a loss to undefeated City College of San Francisco. Now the goal is to finish NorCal Conference play with a winning record. The Bulldogs will have to do that this weekend when they host Laney of Oakland because they got crushed by Butte last weekend in Oroville, 47-13. We did not play well in any phase of the game, said Tim Tulloch, CSM defensive coordinator and assistant head coach. That was our worst, to me, game of the season. We did not play with the usual emotion and intensity. If you dont bring your A game against [Butte], its going to get ugly. Ugly indeed. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to a No. 14 ranking in the state, down from last weeks No. 10. In Northern California, they dropped only two spots, to No. 8 from No. 6. Things started well for CSM (2-2 NorCal Conference, 6-3 overall), as the Bulldogs held a 10-6 lead following a Kenny Anderson 23yard eld goal with 3:55 left to play in the rst quarter. From there, the Roadrunners scored 41 unanswered points. Anderson booted a 30yard eld goal early in the fourth quarter to nally snap Buttes roll. Tulloch said he and the CSM coaching staff could tell something wasnt right as the Bulldogs prepared for the game. Our warmups werent the same, Tulloch said. Just nothing was the same. It was a long ride home. There were a lot of coaches and players who were embarrassed by their performance. The good news is the Bulldogs have to quickly shift their focus to the regular-season

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Coach Joe Paterno is ghting for his job amid eroding support from Penn States board of trustees and a widening sex-abuse scandal and possible cover-up centered on former assistant and one-time heir apparent Jerry Sandusky. Paternos regularly scheduled news conference was abruptly can-
celed Tuesday. A university spokesman cited ongoing legal circumstances, a reference to c h a r g e s announced over the weekend Joe Paterno that Sandusky molested eight young boys between 1994 and 2009, and that two PSU
administrators who have since stepped aside failed to notify authorities of a 2002 incident reported by an eyewitness. Late Tuesday night, the board said it would appoint a special committee to conduct an investigation into the circumstances that resulted in the indictments of Sandusky, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz. 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. The board also promised those responsible would be held fully accountable. We are committed to restoring public trust in the university, the board statement concluded. At least a thousand students
descended on the administration building about 11 p.m., EDT, chanting Joe Paterno! over and over, along with Penn State cheers. Many held up their smartphones to take photos or simply light up the night. A few young men climbed flag poles. About 10 police ofcers stood on the steps of the building, guarding it.

With a full moon in the sky and darkness creeping over the Aragon High School campus, Ed Schuler watched as Amy Jiang and Christina Jiang played out the nal points of the Dons season with a sense of a pride. Theyre going to play hard until the nal point, he said. And thats the kind of season it was for the upstart Aragon tennis team. A young squad brimming with talent, the Dons goal from day one was to play up to their potential. Reaching the Central Coast Section tournament was part one, doing well in it was part two. But against a strong and deep Leland team, the Dons season came to a close Tuesday afternoon, dropping a 10-8 decision. This is a strong team and Im really proud of the way theyve performed, Schuler said. One thing here, one thing there and we could
be counting points. The overall perspective of an outstanding season: nice group of girls, the seniors go out in style even though they didnt win, they went out with grace. So they have a lot to be proud of. The buzz around the tennis court Tuesday revolved around the new scoring system implemented only a few weeks before the start of CCS. In the new system, a school is represented by three singles players and three doubles teams. Each representative plays the other team three times, with a point awarded for a win and a total of 18 points possible. So, before the match, Schuler (along with every school participating in CCS for that matter) was forced to scratch one of his doubles players, Alyssa Lim, and substitute her for Melissa Ma in No. 2 doubles. Lim spent the afternoon volunteering at a polling location. Ma, and the rest of the doubles team, spent the afternoon struggling against the Leland pairs. The Dons
were a combined 2-7 in the doubles matches, with Amy Jiang and Christina Hsu notching both those wins. Stacy Ozoria and Ma, and Jamie Ahn and Emily Yip, dropped all six of their decisions. But Schuler knew the doubles would be a challenge given that two of Lelands teams would represent the Chargers in the CCS individual tournaments two weeks from now. The doubles didnt reach their expectations, Schuler said. And other than that, its a good memory. Its something to build on for next year because all the singles will be back and we just have to build with new doubles players. The Aragon singles players, Kaede Ishikawa, Samantha Wong and Victoria Sun, all won two of their three matches Tuesday. They all fell 6-1 to Lelands No. 1, Arianna Chen, who started the afternoon in the No. 3 slot and beat Sun. But Sun, who was Chens rst

victim, bounced back nicely, dropping a single point in her next two matches. Ishikawa won her opening match 6-1 before falling to Chen. And Wong carried a pair of 6-2 wins over to her matchup with Chen before losing 6-1. The singles today all did well, Schuler said. They all did their part. We knew doubles would be tough because weve been dealing with a lot mistakes and inconsistencies. It was a tough order and we knew that. We knew their singles were going to be good. Im proud. We represented our league well.
The CSM womens water polo team ended its season last week in the Coast Conference tournament,

Tough game with Ohlone, Wright said. It just didnt click. The teams were tied at 2 at halftime, but Ohlone scored twice in the third period to take a 4-2 lead into the fourth. The Bulldogs tied the

Its already quite a hit with her athletes and no doubt will be with recruits. Gottlieb is committed to building Cal into a program that joins perennial national power and Northern California neighbor Stanford as an NCAA tournament regular. The Bears are picked to nish third in the new Pac-12 by the conference coaches in Gottliebs rst season, with an experienced returning roster and dynamic, do-everything freshman guard Brittany Boyd. They will get quite the test in their season opener Sunday at No. 16 Rutgers. Its game week! Gottlieb tweeted Monday night. She and her staff brought the team together in the players lounge last month to see the website just before it went live. The premiere, Gottlieb said, smiling. I wanted us all to see it together the rst time. Its for you guys to have the most fun, comprehensive experience at Cal. You trusted us, you trusted me. Cheers roared from every corner, from every stool or spot on the sofa. Whoo! Gottlieb hollered herself. Then, on the big screen, came a quick voiceover message from sophomore guard Mikayla Lyles. We have the opportunity to do it now, so why wait? We have to keep working. Weve got to build up, we cant sit still. One image showed just a exed arm holding a basketball. Assistant coach Charmin Smith asked the sites creator Mollie McClure, in the room via Skype whose buff biceps it was. Answer: Reshanda Gray. Roars again. This is great. This is just so emotional, center Talia Caldwell said. Once they were nearly through, Gottlieb made the rounds with highves. She clearly knows how to connect with the young women she coaches. Each player came up with a word or two to dene herself heading into the new season, a new era. Theres Lock up Eliza Pierre. Lyles, she Wont Stop. And Boyds got Swag. Gray will nd her Beast Mode. Gottlieb rst worked at Cal from 2005-08 under Boyle, who made Gottlieb her No. 1 assistant at Richmond at all of 24. Lindsay is high energy, Barbour said. Heres a coach who knows how to motivate young people. She certainly is a student of the game and an outstanding coach from an Xs and Os standpoint, but I think her real strength, and that of her staff, is their ability to connect with these young people to motivate them both athletically and academically. I just think she is the perfect t for Cal and the skys the limit for the kind of success we can have as a womens basketball program. So far, Gottliebs players appreciate a new approach for this program. Its about trust, freshman guard Erika Johnson said. She trusts us and we have to put equal trust in her. We all want the same goal. If you dont buy in, youre not going to get anything out of it. In the coaches ofce, theres a binder full of everything the program will stand for with Gottlieb and her staff running the show Cals vision for this season and beyond.

BERKELEY Lindsay Gottlieb had already completed her morning run through the Oakland hills on a rainy fall day in the Bay Area. At her dining room table, laptop open, she crammed in some lm study of Californias first workout before heading out for a jampacked day of meetings, planning and practice. Lindsay She departed Gottlieb in a navy Cal sweatsuit and matching backpack, coffee in hand cream, no sugar. Still a big kid who is giddy to be going off to school, even at age 34. Gottlieb is thrilled to be back leading the Golden Bears as head coach after three seasons at Santa Barbara. She returned to Berkeley as the natural choice for athletic director Sandy Barbour, who watched Gottlieb as an assistant under former coach Joanne Boyle, who left after last season for Virginia. While she learned plenty under Boyle who is credited with turning around Cal womens basketball Gottlieb is determined to put her own stamp on the program. She has wasted no time doing so. Theres a snazzy new website that just launched www.thisiscalbasketball.com featuring videos, behind- the-scenes photos, a slideshow of the San Francisco areas best spots and each players personal mantra.

STANFORD Leave the defenses down in Dixie. In the Pac-12s marquee matchup this weekend, No. 3 Stanford and No. 6 Oregon feature a pair of the nations highest-scoring and most innovative offenses, showcasing schemes and stars that take remarkably different paths to success. Power vs. Speed. Luck vs. LaMichael. Two contrasting styles that promise points unlike top-ranked LSUs 9-6 overtime victory over previously No. 2 Alabama last week when the Cardinal (90, 7-0) host the Ducks (8-1, 6-0) Saturday night on The Farm. Andrew Luck The winner likely locks up a spot in the inaugural league title game and maybe even a chance to play for a BCS championship. First team to score 50 wins? Its all about putting points up on the board. Our offense tries to do that and their offense does, too. It doesnt matter how you get to that point, Stanford quarterback and Heisman Trophy hopeful Andrew Luck said. So long as you score. Oregons spread-option, no-huddle offense headlined by running back LaMichael James relies on speed and misdirection. And while Luck anchors a prolic passing game, the Cardinal count on a powerful pro-
style offense, bunching up formations that often include three tight ends or seven offensive linemen. Its not just Andrew Luck, Oregon coach Chip Kelly said. The Ducks and Cardinal lead the Pac-12 and also rank among the Top 10 in the nation in almost every major offensive category. The staggering statistics are the kind usually reserved for video games, producing similar results despite the differences. Stanford averages 48 points and Oregon 46 points, good for third- and fth-best in the country, respectively. The Ducks have averaged 510.67 yards per game (seventh) to Stanfords 505.78 yards (eighth), with Oregon gaining slightly more on the ground and the Cardinal racking up more in the air. All of it is based on opposite personnel. Its a vicious circle, to a certain degree, Stanford coach David Shaw said. Were probably the only team in the nation with four scholarship fullbacks on the team. This is who we are. Weve got multiple, big offensive linemen who can play. Its just what we do. They do the same thing. They have a scheme, and theyre recruiting to a scheme that ts them. Kelly developed his version of the spread when he was an assistant at New Hampshire, then tailored his scheme after arriving in Eugene as offensive coordinator in 2007 to accommodate running backs Jonathan Stewart and Jeremiah Johnson, as well as dual-threat quarterback Dennis Dixon.

Behind the serving of Karyn Jacobs, the Bearcats reeled off eight straight points, with Cami Mauricio coming up with three kills during the run. A roof by Hillsdales Kelley Maloney nally ended the Bearcats roll and ignited a Knights comeback. Hillsdale would win nine of the next 10 points with Villareal doing the damage from the service line. Using a heavy, high-arcing serve, she had three aces and a kill during the Knights urry and suddenly the Knights led 20-16. The Knights eventually pushed their lead to 2320, but the Bearcats refused to give in. Down 24-21, the Bearcats scored
three straight points to tie the match at 24. But that was as close as they would get as back-to-back kills from Hillsdales Lisa Morabe gave the Knights the match. [The match] was very even, said Hillsdale coach Ricky Villareal. If we went to a fth set, it was anyones (match). Hillsdale set the tone early, pulling away late in Game 1. The Knights held a two-point lead, 1917, before they went on a 5-0 run to push their lead to 24-17. San Mateo would get two more points but Hillsdale would hold. Game 2 saw the Bearcats nally play and are just 2-7 overall. They are coming off a 24-21 loss to Santa Rosa last weekend. The Eagles won their rst two games of the season, but are now mired in a seven-game losing streak. Despite Laneys struggles, CSM is not taking the Eagles lightly. Tulloch knows that every team in the NorCal Conference is dangerous and overlooking any conference that she would pull away and Id want to give up. But thats denitely a huge part of cross country, you have to get over that, and I guess I did. Once she (Goo) started pulling away, I stayed with her, so that was denitely a huge mental milestone because after she beat me a couple of times, its hard not to think better of her. But, during the race, you just have to forget about it and you have to know what youve done. And you
nd a rhythm both offensively and defensively. There were four ties early in the game before San Mateo nally took control and pulled out its only win of the match, 25-20. The Bearcats carried that momentum into Game 3, winning four of the first five points before the Knights went on a 6-0 run to take a 9-5 lead, snatching back momentum and going on to a 25-19 win. You never know how the girls will react when you get in pressure situations, Tigno said. The strength of this team has been ball control and defense, and it just wasnt there today. opponent can result in a loss. Its the next week, Tulloch said. You have to be up for it. The Eagles come in averaging just over 100 yards rushing per game and just over 200 yards passing per game. Tulloch said those numbers could be a bit skewed as the Eagles, who have trailed in many a game, have to throw the ball have think about all the training youve done and how strong you know you are and let the rest of it play out. It played out very well for Croshaw, especially in the latter part of the race. The dynamic trio stayed well ahead of the pack for the majority of the course, and it was at about 1,200 meters that the Don decided to make her move.

I felt kind of numb at beginning so I denitely didnt have a feel for the pace we were going. I ran the last 1,200 (meters) pretty fast so that probably played a part in it. After I broke away from them I could still hear them behind me. But I could see the nish line so I decided to go all out and that put some distance between us. the annual Bulldogs Bowl Nov. 19. Its a two-game season. How are you going to nish? How is the 2011 team going to be remembered? Tulloch asked. We have to show that (last week) was an anomaly. What we showed last week was not a representation of our season. Our guys understand that. Theyll be ready to play. The distance was considerable. And it was that decision to nish strong that gave Croshaw the school record. Looking ahead, the Dons have the CCS championships to look forward to. Croshaw said after the PAL race that the goal for the Dons is to make the state meet. It would mark the rst time an Aragon team makes it there.

At an afternoon practice, managers hastily put plywood boards over an exposed fence to block photographers view of the eld. Paterno, who earns about $1 million annually from the school, has been head coach for 46 years and part of the Penn State staff for more than six decades, and his old-school values pervade every corner of the program. Over that span, the Nittany Lions won two national championships, but unlike many other Division I powerhouses, the program avoided run-ins with the NCAA.

All those things have inspired pride in the region and erce loyalty to Paterno, who is the winningest coach in Division I and one of the most respected in any sport. That lofty status, however, has been the subject of heated arguments in recent days, among students on campus, construction workers on the street and the PSU board of trustees. A person familiar with the trustees discussions said support there for Paterno was eroding, but couldnt gauge whether the board would take action.

Paternos son, Scott, said his father was disappointed over the decision by PSU President Graham Spanier to cancel the news conference. Addressing reporters outside his parents house, Scott said Joe was prepared to answer questions about Sandusky who maintains he is innocent and further that his father plans to coach not only Saturdays game against Nebraska, but for the long haul. Hundreds of fans staged a raucous rally outside Paternos home. He appeared briey, along with some family members, and thanked the crowd for coming.

protecting the institution, is not the rearview mirror. Its the institution going forward, added Terry Hartle, senior vice president at the council, the main umbrella organization representing colleges and universities nationally. Much of the criticism surrounding Paterno has concerned his apparent failure to follow up on a report of the 2002 incident, in which Sandusky allegedly sodomized a 10-year-old boy in the showers at the teams football complex. The eyewitness, Mike McQueary, is currently receivers coach for the team but was a graduate assistant at the time. McQueary told Paterno about the incident the next day, and the coach notied Curley and Schultz, who in turn notied Spanier. Curley and Schultz have been charged with perjury and failure to report the incident to authorities, as required by state law. Both men, as well as Paterno, testied that they were told that Sandusky behaved inappropriately in that 2002 incident, but not to the extent of McQuearys graphic account to a state grand jury. Martin, a freshman out of Half Moon Bay, also had a strong race, especially at the end. She went out pretty good, Mangan said. She caught about four girls (at the end of the race) to move up to 20th. Kelly Claire, a sophomore out of Notre Dame-Belmont, just missed qualifying for the state meet by seven seconds. That equates to about four places in the standings. Mangan said Claire improved her time signicantly from earlier in the season, lopping off nearly 40 seconds. She has also shaved over two minutes from her times at Crystal Springs since her high school career. Im happy we have representation at the state meet, Mangan said. It looks like theyll get better (times) down at Fresno a week from Saturday.

Labor Departments report shows. Education and health care providers have boosted their openings 21 percent in the past year. Yet hiring in those elds has dropped. Retail job openings have soared more than 40 percent in the past year, but hiring has been at. U.S. employers remain extremely cautious. Modest growth over the summer helped calm recession fears. But the growth came after consumers spent more while earning less, a trend that economists fear cant be sustained. And the economy remains vulnerable to shocks. Europes debt crisis could intensify and throw the continent into a recession, which would slow U.S. exports and reduce growth. U.S. lawmakers are expected to sharply cut federal spending, which could mean fewer government jobs and less consumer spending. When you have a lot of uncertainty, an employer may choose to postpone their hiring plans, said Henry Mo, an economist at Credit Suisse.

WASHINGTON With a Thanksgiving deadline fast approaching, the GOP members of a decit-reduction supercommittee are pressing a plan to cut the decit by about $1.5 trillion over the coming decade, showing exibility on tax revenue increases for the rst time while pressing curbs on Medicare spending and a less generous cost-of-living increase for Social Security beneciaries. The plan oated by Republicans, including tea party favorite Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, would place sharp limits on the total amount of tax deductions and credits that a person could claim, in exchange for signicantly lower
income tax rates. At the same time, Republicans are willing to accept a net increase in individual income tax revenues of about $300 billion over the coming decade. The proposal, described by aides in both parties, also would cut spending by about $700 billion, mixing a less generous cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security beneciaries with further cuts to agency operating budgets and curbs to the booming growth of Medicare and the Medicaid health care program for the poor and disabled. Other revenues would come from proposals such as auctioning broadcast spectrum, raising Medicare premiums and increasing aviation security fees. Republicans also support raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67 for future
retirees, but GOP and Democratic aides offered different accounts of whether the idea was ofcially part of the proposal. Democrats said it was in the plan; Republicans say it was part of the discussion but not an ofcial GOP position. The supercommittee has been supersecret in its deliberations and each of the aides spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the negotiations. The GOP offer, discussed by a bipartisan subgroup of supercommittee lawmakers Monday evening, contrasts with a Democratic plan introduced last month that proposed revenue increases of about $1.3 trillion that would also be netted after a rewrite of the loophole-cluttered federal tax code.

Overlap the curved tops of the bread slices by 1 inch. Use a rolling pin to atten the bread slices into very thin rectangles, adding extra pressure to the overlapped area. Repeat with remaining bread slices to make 4 total rectangles. Top the bread rectangles evenly with sliced chicken, then the ham, being sure to cover the surface of the bread evenly with each addition. Divide 1 tablespoon of the mustard between the rollups, spreading it evenly over the ham. Stack 4 strips of cheese lengthwise along one short end of each rollup. Roll each up like a carpet, making it as tight as possible. Once it is rolled, wrap each roll tightly with a piece of parchment paper. Place the rolls on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over mediumhigh heat. Unwrap each roll and place in the pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until browned, rolling them around to brown evenly. In a large bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of mustard, the vinegar and tarragon. Add the endive and apple slices and toss to coat.

Everybody knows at least one a pretentious foodie who insists on froo-froo ingredients, laborious techniques and over-the-top dishes. Well, this year theyre out of luck. Because 2011 was a year when cookbooks even those by high-end and celebrity chefs went all homey and nostalgic. Which is good news for those of us who dont want to garnish a Wednesday night dinner with hand harvested trufe-salmon roe foam. There were meatball books, tomes of rustic dishes, and reminiscences on cooking your way back to childhood. The result? There are plenty of choices for those of us who must blend the joy of cooking with the sometimes crushing need to feed. And that will make gift shopping for the food lovers in your life much easier. Here are our suggestions:

(Countryman Press, 2011) offers more than 100 recipes for healthy, comforting food done in a single vessel. From classics such as skillet-roasted chicken and gravy to inventive dishes like fennel-spiked barley risotto from the slow cooker and sweet-and-spicy pork in the wok, the book helps families spend more time at the table than at the sink. In many places around the world, a pressure cooker may be the only pot a family owns. And its not such a bad idea. The Easy Pressure Cooker Cookbook (Chronicle Books, 2011) serves up more than 300 readyin-minutes recipes, from bacon and potato soup to barbecued brisket and veal stew with 40 cloves of garlic. It even makes dessert think chocolate marble cheesecake and tasty bread puddings. Cook This Now (Hyperion, 2011) by James Beard award-winning food writer Melissa Clark features hearty, easy meals with pairings just unusual enough to keep things interesting. Rosemary-scented white beans meet farro, grilled sausages huddle with celery root and hazelnuts, and in the spring curry and coconut make their way into tomato soup.

the board in 1995 while Mandelkern, a Hillsborough resident and an entrepreneur, was rst elected in 2003. While Ross wasnt running because he felt there was anything wrong with the district, other challengers had questioned the districts communication specifically with decisions about spending previously-approved bond money. In addition, the possibility of selling the districts television station, KCSM-TV, raised numerous concerns during the campaign. In the race to ll three seats on the Sequoia Union High School District Board of Trustees, challengers Carrie Du Bois, San Carlos Elementary School District trustee, and Stanford University educator Allen Weiner were the top vote getters followed by incumbent Lorraine Rumley, who originally joined the board in 1999. Du Bois earned 25.2 percent of the vote, followed by Weiner with 22.3 percent, Rumley with 19.3 percent, trustee Olivia Martinez with 19.1 percent and nonprot director Larry Moody with 14.1 percent. During the campaign, communication with
all communities served by Sequoia was a concern for candidates. Reaching out to residents in East Palo Alto tied into a number of topics like transportation, increasing parental participation and helping more students achieve academic success. Meeting those challenges will be coupled with the possibility of cutting $5.7 million from Sequoias budget for 201213. For Du Bois, doing a better job of transitioning students from the Ravenswood City Elementary School District into Sequoia will be a priority during her rst term. Weiners focus has been on the achievement gap. He would like to hold a summit, inviting people who have studied best practices so the district community can discuss the best way to address the issue together. In the race to serve on the Redwood City Elementary School District, board President Alisa MacAvoy, Trustee Dennis McBride and Trustee Shelly Masur will keep their seats for another four years after receiving 29.1 percent, 28.9 percent and 26.7 percent of the vote respectively. Challenger, Lea CunibertiDuran, a parent and business owner, came up short in her second bid to join the board earning 15.2 percent of the vote. Four were vying to serve in the San Bruno Park Elementary School District with incumbents Jennifer Blanco and Kevin Martinez winning another four years. Martinez earned
33.2 percent of the vote, followed by Blanco with 32.1 percent, former trustee Chuck Zelnik earned 19 percent and real estate agent Joseph Capote pulled in 15.7 percent. Four candidates board President Greg Dannis, Steven Gans, Margi Power and Michael Forbes ran in hopes of serving in one of two four-year seats on the Hillsborough City Elementary School District Board. Power and Dannis will ll those seats after getting 37.7 percent and 35 percent of the vote respectively. Gans followed with 16 percent and Forbes rounded out the group with 11.3 percent of the vote. In San Carlos, board President Tom Quiggle opted not to run for re-election while Vice President Seth Rosenblatt was joined on the ballot by Adam Rak, a trade association executive, and engineer/construction manager Peter Tzifas. Rosenblatt and Rak appear to be victorious with 40.9 percent and 37 percent of the vote respectively. Rosenblatt was excited to serve another term. Its nice to be out of election mode, he said. We have a lot to work on in the next four years. Tzifas, with 22.1 percent of the vote, still has a chance to join the board. With Du Bois victorious in her bid to join the Sequoia Board and Trustee Mark Olbert joining the San Carlos City Council, the board will soon need

Small Bundt cakes are an easy and elegant gift to give. You can make them in a traditional metal pan, but also consider purchasing paper baking pans, which are designed to be both the baking pan and a decorative wrapper. To use the paper pans, simply place them on a baking sheet and bake as normal. When completely cooled, wrap the item in plastic wrap or a clear bag tied with a bow.
1 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup buttermilk 2 1/2 cups all-purpose our 1 cup dried cherries 1 cup frozen cherries, thawed and drained Heat the oven to 350. Coat four 8-by-2-inch ring cake pans (or two 8-inch Bundt pans) with baking spray. Arrange the pans on a baking sheet for stability and ease of moving to and from the oven. To prepare the streusel, in a small bowl mix together the our, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter, allowing clumps to form. If using metal Bundt pans, distribute the streusel mixture between the pans. If using paper baking pans, set the streusel aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the oil, eggs, sugar, honey, molasses, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, cardamom and vanilla. Mix in half of the buttermilk, then half of the our. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and repeat with the remaining buttermilk and our. Stir in the dried and thawed cherries. Divide the mixture between the prepared pans. If using the paper baking pans, sprinkle the reserved streusel on top of the batter. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. If using a metal pan, turn out onto a wire rack to nish cooling. Will keep for 1 week.
Quick breads are another easy offering for paper baking pans,as they come in small loaf pans, as well as the ring-style pan.

Maybe not weeknight stuff, but a nice book for leisurely cooking. And what gift season would be complete without Jamie Oliver? The peripatetic British chefs Meals in Minutes (Hyperion, 2011) offers recipes for 50 full meals designed to take no more than a half-hour. Spinach feta pie with two salads and dessert, mustard chicken with scalloped potatoes, greens and a black forest affogato, and roast beef with baby popovers are all engineered to please busy, hungry families. For the real chef groupies on your list the ones who dont even care about the recipes theres My Last Supper: The Next Course (Rodale, 2011).

(Spoiler alert: Tom of another bond late last year since it became clear more than $50 million in state bonds, on which the district was counting to further projects, would not become available. San Mateo County voters have generally supported the college district and education in general. The college district has two bond measures Measure C, a $207 million bond in 2001, and Measure A, a $468 million bond in 2005 and a $34 per $100,000 assessed value. In addition, voters more recently approved an annual parcel tax, Measure G, which should generate $6 million annually for four years. Measure O, a $40 million bond supporting the San Bruno Park Elementary School District, had a similar fate as it generated support from 50.8 percent of voters, shy of the 55 percent threshold needed to pass. The board placed the measure on the ballot in hopes of funding facility upgrades including nishing upgrades at Parkside Intermediate decisions on. For Lee, who previously ran in 2007, the win is daunting. Its a rst step toward a lot of work, he said, adding that to win is amazing. Millbraes race was one of the largest in the county this year. With two incumbents Mayor Dan Quigg and Councilman Paul Seto opting not to run for re-election, a race often gets more interest. Finances and the fate of the citys police department have also fueled candidate debate. San Bruno and Millbrae currently share Neil Telford, who acts as police chief for both cities. San Bruno ofcials have asked for Telford to return full time leaving Millbrae ofcials to decide between contracting out for services or fully fund the city department. While some residents, and candidates, have argued the current council shouldnt make a decision that will bind a new council, the police ofcers association has asked for a decision to be made quickly.

Late last year, the board began discussing another bond measure to nish projects like science buildings and purchase new technology. As proposed, the $564 million bond would have helped with modernizing or constructing classrooms and labs for science, engineering and math, covering seismic upgrades, replacing outdated infrastructure, installing security systems, repairing old furniture and technology, modernizing libraries and demolishing outdated structures.

While Royce ran to keep the seat hes held the last four years, the other two sought to either knock him from the council or ll the vacancy left by Ahmads unexpected death in May. Former councilman Brad Lewis was appointed in the interim but did not run for re-election.

LASTING IMPRESSIONS ARE OUR FIRST PRIORITY
WORLD
career in which he achieved the feat of becoming his nations longest-serving premier. The media baron dominated Italian politics for nearly two Silvio decades. He Berlusconi served as premier three times over the past 17 years a charismatic if polarizing gure who sold Italians a dream of prosperity with his own personal story of transformation from cruiseship crooner to Italys richest man. He also owns AC Milan, one of Italys famous soccer clubs. But in his last years in power, he became almost a grotesque caricature of the charming billionaire who cast a spell over his nation. The hair transplants and plastic surgery became all too obvious. His reputation as a seducer gave way to allegations of trysts with prostitutes and underage girls. He embarrassed Italy with jaw-dropping gaffes at international summits. Accusations grew that he was in politics not for Italys sake but for his own to boost his business interests and change laws to shield himself from prosecution. As pressure for his resignation grew, he remained deant, labeling opponents communists to be kept at bay and prosecutors as terrorists defying the will of the people who elected him. Even as his allies were defecting, he anointed himself Italys savior at the close of the Group of 20 summit in Cannes, France, last week. I feel a duty to continue these things, he said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROME Silvio Berlusconi survived sex scandals and corruption trials. Tawdry accounts of sexy bunga bunga parties turned him into an international laughing stock. Prosecutors pursued him over a mind-boggling array of suspected improprieties. Every time he seemed nished, the perma-tanned premier managed to miraculously bounce back. But he just couldnt beat the markets. Berlusconi announced Tuesday he would resign after parliament passes economic reforms demanded by the European Union. He acted in the face of a relentless investor attack on Italys government bonds and crumbling support in parliament, almost certainly ending a political
ATHENS, Greece A new Greek interim government will be announced on Wednesday afternoon, a government ofcial said, after critical power-sharing talks between the countrys two main parties dragged into a third day despite intense European pressure. Negotiations between Prime Minister George Papandreou and opposition leader Antonis Samaras began Monday to resolve a political crisis that is threatening to cut Greeces loan lifeline and could even force it out of the euro in an ignominious rst for the 17-member currency union. The two reached a historic week-
end agreement to forge an interim government that will shepherd the countrys new (euro) 130 billion ($179 billion) European rescue package through Parliament. Approval of the deal will allow the release of a (euro) 8 billion ($11 billion) loan installment, without which Greece will go bankrupt before Christmas. The squabbling in Athens came as a far more serious threat emerged to the euro, with the borrowing costs of one of Europes largest economies hitting historic highs amid a government crisis in Rome. Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi announced he would resign after Parliament passes economic reforms demanded by the EU to keep Italy from sinking into Europes debt mess.
