POLICE SET FIRE TO PROTESTERS TENT
CITY
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The city of San Carlos outsourc-
ing arrangement with the Sheriffs
Ofce for police services left the
city paying twice for unfunded
retirement, an unexpected quirk that
county supervisors cleaned up at
their last meeting while creating a
template for future shared services .
The Board of Supervisors voted
3-2, with supervisors Dave Pine and
Don Horsley dissenting, to let the
city pay for only its lingering
unfunded liability because the city
did not have a hand in creating the
countys retirement costs. Pine and
Horsley didnt dispute the validity
of the arrangement but wanted more
information before signing off, par-
ticularly the caveat that the county
could make similar agreements for
other shared services contracts like
the one just accepted by the
Millbrae City Council.
Letting San Carlos off the hook
will cost the county approximately
$600,000 annually, after it receives
approximately $1.3 million in cred-
it for retirement costs that have
already been paid in.
The matter is an equity issue
rather than a county subsidy said
Sheriff Greg Munks, speaking
before the board at its meeting. The
problem also
showcased an
u n e x p e c t e d
loophole creat-
ed when merg-
ing two entities
with different
retirement sys-
tems. San
Carlos belongs
to the Public
Employees Retirement System
while the county has its own, SAM-
CERA.
Shared services in critical areas is
a matter of good government and
leaving cities paying twice for par-
ticipating isnt a motivating factor,
Munks said.
Once San Carlos is done paying
its residual obligation to PERS, it
will pay into the county at the full
rate, said Budget Director Jim Saco.

many different areas from
becoming a pianist to a priest
after his basketball dreams fell to
the wayside.

When Amrit Mann was rst asked
in 2003 to volunteer her nursing
skills for Operation Access, her
reaction was swift.
What? I have to come in on a
Saturday? she recalls thinking.
But come in she did and nearly
every other Saturday the medical
group gathered at Kaiser
Permanente Redwood City to pro-
vide free surgeries for patients who
couldnt otherwise afford to have
their hernias repaired or their
cataracts replaced. The next thing
she knew, eight years had passed
and she was being honored by the
group for her tireless volunteer
efforts.
Its gotten to the point where I
feel guilty if I miss it, she said.
Operation Access was founded by
a Kaiser Permanente physician and
treats needy patients at multiple
hospitals, including the medical
center in Redwood City. Depending
on need, there are approximately
ve sessions annually at the location
involving about 15 staff and an aver-
age of six surgeries. Multiplied over
a dozen years in Redwood City, and
Operation Access has provided
about 5,400 hours of volunteer work
and that doesnt even include
pre-operative consultations and
tests, post-operative care and minor
surgical procedures that can be per-
formed in the clinic.

Natalie Wood detectives
face conicting accounts
LOS ANGELES Natalie Woods
drowning death nearly 30 years ago
came after a night of dinner, drinking
and arguments but the question remains
was it anything more than a tragic
accident?
Conicting versions of what happened
on the yacht shared by Wood, her actor-
husband Robert Wagner and their friend,
actor Christopher Walken, have con-
tributed to the mystery of how the
actress died on Thanksgiving weekend
in 1981.
Two sheriffs detectives are now div-
ing into the mysterious events on the
yacht Splendour, although whether they
reach any different conclusions than
their predecessors remains to be seen.
They recently received new, seemingly
credible information and heard from
potential witnesses who werent includ-
ed in the original investigation of
Woods death, sheriffs Lt. John Corina
said Friday.
But he said nothing has happened to
change the ofcial view that Woods
death was originally an accidental
drowning. Wagner, the star of Hart to
Hart is not considered a suspect, he
added.
Corina released few details about who
investigators have contacted or plan to
re-interview, but the inquiry will certain-
ly lead them to speak with the three sur-
vivors of the trip Wagner, Walken and
skipper Dennis Davern.
Woods sister, Lana, was not on the
boat, but told CNNs Piers Morgan on
Friday that she has spoken with Davern
many times and believes her sister did
not fall off the boat.
I dont think she fell, I dont know if
she was pushed, I dont know whether
there was an altercation and it happened
accidentally but she shouldnt have died
and that does stay with me and hurt,
Lana Wood said.
I would prefer to always believe that
RJ (Wagner) would never do anything to
hurt Natalie and that he loved her dearly,
which he did, and I dont believe that
whatever went on was deliberate. Ive
always cared about him. I always
will care about him, she said.
The captain said on NBCs
Today on Friday that
Wagner is to blame for the
Oscar-nominated actress
death in the chilly waters of
Southern California in
November 1981, but didnt
offer many specifics. For
years he has maintained that he
heard the famous couple
arguing on the boat
before Wood went
missing and Wagner
refusing to immedi-
ately search the waters
nearby for his wife.
Daverns account is
dramatically different from what he told
investigators after Woods body was
found in 1981, when no mention of an
argument between the couple was made.
Wood was wearing a nightgown, wool
socks and red down coat when she was
found oating off Santa Catalina Island.
The renewed investigation comes at a
time when plenty of attention was sure
to be focused on Wood, whose beauty
and acting in lms such as West Side
Story and Rebel Without a Cause
made her Hollywood royalty. Her death
stunned the world and CBS 48 Hours
Mystery has been looking into the case
for a special airing on Saturday.
Sheriffs ofcials denied the renewed
attention prompted their review,
which could take months.
Were not concerned
with the anniversary date,
Corina said. It may have
jarred some other peoples
memories.
The Splendour is cur-
rently docked in Hawaii,
where its used for char-
ter cruises. The current
owner said Friday said he
was contacted by
Los Angeles
a u t h o r i t i e s
several weeks
ago. He did
not reveal
details of the
conversation.

I
have just been alerted by Angelo
Demattei, a docent aboard the restored
cargo ship, the Jeremiah OBrien. The
battleship, USS Iowa (BB-61) has been
moved from Suisan Bay to Port Richmond. It
is to be there for three months for volunteers
to work on it and refurbish it. When the work
is done, it will be towed to San Pedro (near
Los Angeles/Long Beach) and become a oat-
ing museum.
The USS Iowa is the last of Americas bat-
tleships and the last chance for interested citi-
zens to work on a battleship to get it ready to
become a museum.
The history of American battleships begins
with the Maine and Texas being built and
authorized as coast defense battleships.
They had four turrets, a 21-knot top speed,
heavy armor and had 14-inch or 16-inch guns.
The U.S. Navy commissioned 10 more battle-
ships of entirely new style in the 1930s as the
rst ones were obsolete. Nine 16-inch guns
(plus other smaller armament) were placed on
the ships and their speed increased to keep up
with the aircraft carriers that were becoming
more popular.
The USS Iowa was ordered built July 1,
1939 and laid down on June 27, 1940. It was
commissioned Feb. 22, 1943. It immediately
entered the Atlantic and went to Argentina,
Newfoundland to counter the German battle-
ship, Tirpitz. After returning to the Norfolk
Navy Yard for maintenance, it carried
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
Secretary of State Cordell Hull and numerous
World War II military brass to Casablanca,
French Morocco then over to the Tehran
Conference.
The Iowa departed for the Pacic Ocean on
Jan. 2, 1944. In the Pacic war zone, the Iowa
completed numerous assignments against the
Japanese at Kwajalein and Eniwetok atolls,
supported air strikes at Truk, Caroline Islands
and supported air strikes against Saipan, Rota
and Guam in the Mariana Islands. After
numerous other engagements, the Iowa head-
ed back to the United States in December
1944. It found itself in another type of ght
a typhoon (Cobra) hit the eet. Although no
sailors aboard the Iowa were injured, approx-
imately 790 ofcers and men were killed
when destroyers capsized, air planes aboard
the three aircraft carriers broke loose and
exploded (146 were swept overboard or
caught fire). The Iowa returned to San
Francisco to repair a damaged shaft. At this
point, new search radars and re-control sys-
tems were outtted to the battleship.
Returning to Japan, the Iowa was used as
the Third Fleet Flagship at the signing of the
Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay.
In 1949, the battleship was deactivated and
returned to San Francisco to be mothballed.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Relentless
rains pounded the Los Angeles
area for hours Sunday as a storm
passed from the Pacific Ocean into
Southern California, flooding
streets and highways and bringing
landslide concerns.
In Northern California, a storm
drenched the San Francisco Bay
Area for much of the weekend.
San Francisco International
Airport reported weather-related
delays up to 45 minutes on a num-
ber of domestic flights Sunday. A
break in the rain was expected by
nightfall, according to the NWS.
The National Weather Service
issued a flood advisory and winter
weather advisory for areas around
Los Angeles County, including
foothill communities north of the
city where hillsides were stripped
bare by wildfires two years ago.
Forecasters predicted scattered
showers would last into the
evening as the storm moved into
the San Diego area.
By 3 p.m., 1.42 inches of rain
had fallen on the Sepulveda Pass,
which connects the Los Angeles
Basin to the San Fernando Valley.
Mud and water poured onto
Interstate 405 in the area.
Lanes were also flooded on
Interstate 10 and Highway 101 in
Hollywood, and high water was
reported on surface streets in the
area as well. At Los Angeles
International Airport, more than a
foot of water accumulated in the
northbound Sepulveda Boulevard
tunnel under the southern run-
ways, according to the fire depart-
ment.
Stores on Melrose Avenue,
Hollywoods famed shopping
strip, saw several inches of water
flow in when storm drains clogged
and overflowed, leaving merchan-
dise damaged and forcing several
of them to shut down.
We had to get all the stuff out
of the window display, Jessica
West, an employee at the Dr.
Martens store, told KABC-TV. I
didnt expect it to keep rising, but
it came all the way through to the
back of the store.
Snow was expected for moun-
tains north and east of Los Angeles
and in Santa Barbara County, with
several inches possible at eleva-
tions above 4,500 feet.
Gusty winds combined with
snowfall contributed to poor visi-
bility on mountain routes, includ-
ing on Interstate 5 in the
Grapevine area, which saw slowed
traffic but no lane closures.
Chains were required on some
mountain roads near Ojai in
Ventura County, where some of the
heaviest downpours were reported.
More than a dozen traffic crash-
es Sunday were blamed on wet
conditions around LA, according
to California Highway Patrol
Officer Ed Jacobs.
They included a tractor-trailer
that fell from an Interstate 5 con-
nector onto a surface street, where
it hit a power pole and came to rest
upside down.
The driver was just driving too
fast in rainy weather, Jacobs told
City News Service.
The driver walked away with
only minor injuries.
Storm drenches much of state
By Elliot Spagat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO A landmark
accord that ended decades of acrimo-
ny over how Southern California gets
its water is in jeopardy.
A California appeals court is con-
sidering whether to overturn a 2003
pact that created the nations largest
farm-to-city water transfer and set
new rules for dividing the states
share of the Colorado River. If a
lower court ruling stands, conse-
quences could ripple to six other
Western states and Mexico, which
also rely on the 1,450-mile river that
ows from the Rocky Mountains to
the Sea of Cortez.
Farmers and environmentalists
involved in the lawsuit argue the pact
is deeply awed, while water agen-
cies say it is critical to keeping an
uneasy peace on the river. A three-
judge panel of the 3rd Appellate
District in Sacramento will hear argu-
ments Monday and is expected to
rule within three months.
California long used more of the
Colorado River than it was granted
under agreements with Arizona,
Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico,
Utah, Wyoming and Mexico. Its
overindulgence was never a big prob-
lem until Sunbelt cities like Phoenix
witnessed explosive growth and other
states clamored for their full share.
Drought only exacerbated tensions.
Eight years of negotiations
between Californias warring water
agencies culminated in the 2003
accord that reined the state to its limit
established 80 years earlier of 4.4
million acre-feet of water a year
enough to supply about 9 million
homes. The centerpiece called for
Californias Imperial Valley a
farming region that gets nearly 20
percent of the entire river to sell
water to San Diego.
The prospect of the pact unraveling
has left some of Californias neigh-
bors worried that hostilities could
resume and ricochet throughout the
West.
A stable California is good for the
river, said John Entsminger, senior
deputy general manager for the
Southern Nevada Water Authority,
which supplies 2 million people in
Las Vegas and surrounding areas.
Any sort of destabilization in
California and their water picture
would potentially be problematic for
the other states.
In January 2010, Sacramento
Superior Court Judge Roland
Candee gutted the pact in a sweep-
ing, 52-page ruling that said the state
of California one of the signato-
ries violated its constitution by
essentially writing a blank check to
restore the rapidly shrinking Salton
Sea in the Imperial Valley.
Californias largest lake is more than
200 feet below sea level and relies on
water that seeps down from nearby
farms. The sale of water to San
Diego further threatens the lakes
future.
The judge ruled that a state law
committing California to save the
lake no matter the cost set a danger-
ous precedent for the government to
pledge money to other projects it
couldnt afford. The administration
of former Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger pegged the cost of
saving the Salton Sea at a whopping
$9 billion.
The states dire scal straits offer
little hope for the lake, whose rapidly
receding shores are layered with dead
sh.
Its the 800-pound gorilla in the
closet, said Malissa McKeith, a
lawyer for Imperial Valley landown-
ers who are challenging the pact. If
we dont x it now, youre just going
to have so much of a bigger problem
in 10 years.
McKeith, like other critics of the
pact, said California failed to ade-
quately consider alternatives to the
farm-to-city water transfer like
requiring low-ow toilets when it
recognized in the 1990s that it would
have to go on a water diet.
The legal issues are highly com-
plex, but the stakes and passions are
high. The pact, which remains in
effect while the case is under appeal,
has already brought big changes in
California.
It remains controversial in the
Imperial Valley, a major grower of
spinach, lettuce and other winter veg-
etables that has the nations highest
unemployment rate. Eight years after
the Imperial Irrigation District board
approved the pact in a 3-2 vote, crit-
ics say water sales to San Diego have

There may not be enough money

source of water in the early 1990s.
Under the pact, two Southern
California canals were lined with a
combined 60 miles of concrete to
prevent seepage. The San Diego
County Water Authority and the state
of California shared the $448 million
cost, with the captured water going to
San Diego.

Teenager stabbed near Redwood City
A 17-year-old man was stabbed multiple times in unincorpo-
rated San Mateo County Saturday night, sheriffs ofcials said.
The San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce responded at 9:43
p.m. to a home on Nottingham Avenue, southeast of Redwood
City, on a report of a stabbing.
They found the victim there suffering multiple stab wounds.
He was treated at the scene, and then transported to a local hos-
pital.
Sheriffs ofcials are asking anyone who may have witnessed
the stabbing to call the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce at

However, on July 14, 1951, she was
reactivated due to the Korean War. Her
assignments included war raids on the
North Korean coast. In February 1958,
the Iowa was again decommissioned and
placed on the U.S. Navy reserve eet.
Again in 1982, the Iowa was reactivated
because of the escalation of the Cold
War between the United States and the
Soviet Union. President Reagan author-
ized 600 ships to be ready to counter the
Soviet threat. In 1990, the Iowa was
decommissioned for the last time
(maybe). In 1999, she was again added
to the Naval Vessel Register (she had
been struck from it in 1995) for techni-
cal reasons. This lasted only until 2011
when the USS Iowa was donated to the
port of Los Angeles to be used as a
museum in conjunction with the Pacic
Battleship Center at San Pedro, Calif.
This is why Angelo Demattei sent me
an email in hopes of recruiting men to
restore the USS Iowa battleship to muse-
um status. It will be hard, dirty, physical
labor on board the ship with long hours
and no pay. You will even have to bring
your own tools and lunch to work on the
ship. There is no water or electricity
available on the ship. The entire decking
that consists of wood plank and studs
have to be removed as it has rotted.
Everything needs to be cleaned and
painted (in dark areas as well) and all of
the seals (thousands of them) need to be
inspected. Sounds like fun. Angelo and
his buddies helped restore the Jeremiah
OBrien so they are familiar with what is
required to complete the project.
If you are interested, email
sschmidt@battleship.com. Sue is the
volunteer coordinator. Talk to her, you
may have some skills that are needed.
This is the last of the battleships that can
be saved and the personal reward of
working on the USS Iowa will be some-
thing of which you can be proud.

NEW YORK An al-Qaida
sympathizer who plotted to bomb
police and post ofces in New York
City as well as U.S. troops returning
home has been arrested on numer-
ous terrorism-related charges.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg
announced at a news conference
Sunday the arrest of Jose Pimentel
of Manhattan, a 27-year-old al-
Qaida sympathizer who the mayor
said was motivated by terrorist
propaganda and resentment of U.S.
troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Police Commissioner Raymond
Kelly said police had to move
quickly to arrest Pimentel on
Saturday because he was ready to
carry out his plan.
We had to act quickly yesterday
because he was in fact putting this
bomb together. He was drilling
holes and it would have been not
appropriate for
us to let him
walk out the
door with that
bomb, Kelly
said.
The police
commissioner
said Pimentel
was energized
and motivated
to carry out his
plan by the Sept. 30 killing of al-
Qaidas U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-
Awlaki.
He decided to build the bomb
August of this year, but clearly he
jacked up his speed after the elimi-
nation of al-Awlaki, Kelly said.
Pimentel, a U.S. citizen originally
from the Dominican Republic,
Pimentel was plotting to bomb
police patrol cars and also postal
facilities as well as targeted mem-
bers of our armed services returning
from abroad, the mayor said.
Bloomberg said that case marked
at least the 14th terrorist plot target-
ing New York City since the Sept.
11 terrorist attacks 10 years ago.
He was under surveillance by
New York police for at least a year
who were working with a conden-
tial informant and was in the
process of building a bomb; no
injury to anyone or damage to prop-
erty is alleged, Kelly said. In addi-
tion, authorities have no evidence
that Pimentel was working with
anyone else, the mayor said.
He appears to be a total lone
wolf, the mayor said. He was not
part of a larger conspiracy emanat-
ing from abroad.
Instead, Bloomberg said,
Pimentel represents the type of
threat FBI Director Robert Mueller
has warned about as U.S. forces
erode the ability of terrorists to
carry out large scale attacks.
Pimentel, also known as
Muhammad Yusuf, is accused of
having an explosive substance
Saturday when he was arrested that
he planned to use against others and
property to terrorize the public.
The charges accuse him of con-
spiracy going back at least to
October 2010, and include first-
degree criminal possession of a
weapon as a crime of terrorism, and
soliciting support for a terrorist act.
He was to be arraigned later
Sunday.
This is just another example of
New York City because we are an
iconic city ... this is a city that peo-
ple would want to take away our
freedoms gravitate to and focus on,
Bloomberg said.
Kelly said a condential inform-
ant had numerous conversations
with Pimentel on Sept. 7 in which
he expressed interest in building
small bombs and targeting banks,
government and police buildings.
Pimentel also posted on his web-
site trueislam1.com and on blogs
his support of al-Qaida and belief in
jihad, and promoted an online mag-
azine article that described in detail
how to make a bomb, Kelly said.
Among his Internet postings, the
commissioner said, was an article
that states: People have to under-
stand that America and its allies are
all legitimate targets in warfare.
The New York Police
Departments Intelligence Division
was involved in the arrest. Kelly
said Pimentel spent most of his
years in Manhattan and lived about
ve years in Schenectady. He said
police in Albany tipped New York
City police off to Pimentels activi-
ties.
Asked why federal authorities
were not involved in the case,
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus
R. Vance Jr. said there was commu-
nication with them but his ofce felt
that given the timeline it was
appropriate to proceed under state
charges.

Its just amazing Murphys Law,

It didnt even touch either house on

The re was 95 percent contained by
midday Sunday, and re crews from

Sierra Fire Protection District Mike
Brown said.
They were also repairing areas where
vegetation was burned and hillsides
damaged by bulldozers in an effort to

ANAMOSA, Iowa The race for
the Republican presidential nomina-
tion is deeply unsettled with an any-
thing-can-happen feel six weeks
before Iowans start the state-by-state
process of choosing a GOP chal-
lenger for President Barack Obama.
Hoping to sway the many voters
who are still undecided, most of the
contenders visited the state in the
past week and the pace of cam-
paigning is certain to accelerate after
Thanksgiving, when the monthlong
sprint to the Jan. 3 caucuses begins.
A crush of new TV ads is certain.
Expect mailboxes filled with
brochures and repeated visits by
candidates to diners, town squares
and other must-stop venues.
People are getting close to deci-
sion time, former Pennsylvania
Sen. Rick Santorum, one of several
candidates whose bids depend on a
strong Iowa showing, told The
Associated Press. Youre going to
see some coalescing in the next cou-
ple of weeks.
A recent poll found that 60 per-
cent of Republicans who plan to par-
ticipate in the caucuses are willing
to change their minds and 10 percent
are fully undecided. That
Bloomberg News survey showed a
four-way race: Clustered at the top
were Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich,
Herman Cain and Ron Paul, candi-
dates whose positions, backgrounds
and personalities run the gamut.
Languishing far behind were Rick
Perry and Michele Bachmann, who
at one point enjoyed huge bursts of
support.
Iowas outcome matters because it
will shape the contest in New
Hampshire, which holds its primary
Jan. 10, and in states beyond.
Romney, the former
Massachusetts governor, has started
stepping up his efforts in Iowa after
playing it cautiously all year. He
plans to return to the state
Wednesday after
skipping a
multi-candidate
forum in Des
Moines on
Saturday night.
Nearly all his
rivals, promot-
ing themselves
as a viable alter-
native to
Romney, gathered on one stage to
discuss how their religious faith
inuences their public life before a
large and inuential audience of
social conservatives.
Considered the one to beat
because of his strength on several
fronts, Romney spent the weekend
in New Hampshire.
In Iowa, hes hoping that social
conservatives who make up the
GOPs base will splinter their sup-
port among the crowded eld of
candidates who are considered more
conservative than Romney. No one
has emerged as the consensus choice
of those conservatives, though many
are trying.
They include Cain, a Georgia
businessman, and Gingrich, the for-
mer U.S. House speaker, who seem
just as poised to break out of the
pack as they are to fade. Both are
seen as attractive for a Republican
electorate craving a candidate who
will take it to Obama in a no-holds-
barred style. But both also are trying
hard to weather increased scrutiny.
Cain continues to ght decade-
old sexual harassment allegations,
along with questions about his grasp
of an array of policies. Iowans dont
seem to be punishing him for any of
it, so far. He cheerfully greeted a
crowd of more than 200 at a
Dubuque restaurant Tuesday on just
his second trip to Iowa in the past
three months.
Herman Cains support at this
point has intensified, Johnson
County GOP Chairman Bob
Anderson said. Theres been no
decrease in his level of support
based on the controversy thats
erupted.
But Cain has little campaign
structure in the state and a tiny staff.
Despite the upbeat tone of his visit,
he did little outreach to inuential
Republican activists. He took no
audience questions in Dubuque,
spent most of his time in Iowa
recording a campaign advertisement
and headlined a ve-minute news
conference spent primarily defend-
ing an awkward response to an
interview question about Libya a
day earlier.
Like Cain, Gingrich returned to
Iowa last week to nd himself on
the defensive over a number of
issues, including the roughly $1.6
million he received as a consultant
to Freddie Mac, the federally backed
mortgage giant detested by conser-
vatives. He found himself spending
the bulk of his three-day trip trying
to portray his history with the com-
pany as a sign of valuable experi-
ence.
Anything can-happen feel in Iowas 2012 vote
By Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Police departments
around the country are working to shield
their radio communications from the public
as cheap, user-friendly technology has made
it easy for anyone to use handheld devices to
keep tabs on officers responding to crimes.
The practice of encryption has grown
more common from Florida to New York
and west to California, with law enforce-
ment officials saying they want to keep
criminals from using officers internal chat-
ter to evade them. But journalists and neigh-
borhood watchdogs say open communica-
tions ensure that the public receives infor-
mation that can be vital to their safety as
quickly as possible.
D.C. police moved to join the trend this
fall after what Chief Cathy Lanier said were
several incidents involving criminals and
smartphones. Carjackers operating on
Capitol Hill were believed to have been lis-
tening to emergency communications
because they were only captured once police
stopped broadcasting over the radio, she
said. And drug dealers at a laundromat fled
the building after a sergeant used open air-
waves to direct other units there suggest-
ing, she said, that they too were listening in.
Whereas listeners used to be tied to sta-
tionary scanners, new technology has
allowed people and especially criminals
to listen to police communications on a
smartphone from anywhere, Lanier testified
at a D.C. Council committee hearing this
month. When a potential criminal can evade
capture and learn, Theres an app for that,
its time to change our practices.
The transition has put police departments
at odds with the news media, who say their
newsgathering is impeded when they cant
use scanners to monitor developing crimes
and disasters. Journalists and scanner hobby-
ists argue that police departments already
have the capability to communicate securely
and should be able to adjust to the times
without reverting to full encryption. And
they say alert scanner listeners have even
helped police solve crimes.
If the police need to share sensitive infor-
mation among themselves, they know how to
do it, Phil Metlin, news director of WTTG-
TV, in Washington, said at the council hear-
ing. Special encrypted channels have been
around for a long time; so have cellphones.
Its impossible to quantify the scope of the
problem or to determine if the threat from
scanners is as legitimate as police maintain
or merely a speculative fear. Its certainly
not a new concern after all, hobbyists
have for years used scanners to track the
activities of their local police department
from their kitchen table.
One iPhone app, Scanner 911, offers on its
website the chance to listen in while police,
fire and EMS crews work day & night.
Rice: Assad taking Syria
to brink of civil war
WASHINGTON Former Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice says Syrian President
Bashar Assad is taking his
country to the brink of
civil war.
Rice tells CNNs State
of the Union that Assads
crackdown is creating a
very dangerous situation.
She says Assad is no
friend of the United
States and that his over-
throw would be a great
thing for the Syrian peo-
ple, U.S. interests and anyone seeking a more
peaceful Middle East.
Rice is calling for the toughest possible
penalties against Assads government.
She says that if Russia and China block
U.N. sanctions, the U.S. should apply pres-
sure with its allies or act alone. Rice also is
urging more assistance to Syrias opposition.

Rhodes Scholars for 2012
NEW YORK This years Rhodes
Scholars include an aspiring anthropologist
and a uent Arabic speaker who works with
orphans in Egypt, though another comes from
an already famous pedigree: Ronan Farrow.
Farrow is the son of actress Mia Farrow and
director Woody Allen and had a bachelors
degree by the time he was 15. He enrolled at
Yale Law School at age 17, graduating in
2009, and the 23-year-old now works as spe-
cial adviser to the Secretary of State for glob-
al youth issues.
Farrow said that for now hes focused now
on his work with the State Department, which
is aimed at empowering young people to get
involved politically and economically. At
Oxford, though, he plans to study internation-
al development.
There can be more research and writing on
issues Im really excited to think deeply
about, Farrow said.
Farrow was among 32 American students
chosen as Rhodes Scholars. They will be
awarded scholarships to study at Oxford
University.

CAIRO Egyptian soldiers and
police set re to protest tents in
Cairos Tahrir Square and red tear
gas and rubber bullets in a major
assault Sunday to drive out thou-
sands demanding that the military
rulers quickly transfer power to a
civilian government. At least 11
protesters were killed and hundreds
were injured.
It was the second day of clashes
marking a sharp escalation of ten-
sions on Egypts streets a week
before the rst elections since the
ouster of longtime authoritarian
leader Hosni Mubarak in February.
The military took over the country,
promising a swift transition to civil-
ian rule. But the pro-democracy
protesters who led the uprising have
grown increasingly angry with the
ruling generals, and suspect they are
trying to cling to power even after
an elected parliament is seated and a
new president is voted in.
Street battles continued through-
out the day and long into the night,
spreading to side streets and send-
ing a wave of injuries to makeshift
clinics on the streets.
The military-backed Cabinet said
in a statement that elections set to
begin on Nov. 28 would take place
on time and thanked the police for
their restraint, language that is
likely to enrage the protesters even
more.
Were not going anywhere, pro-
tester Mohammed Radwan said
after security forces tried unsuc-
cessfully to push the crowds out of
Tahrir, the epicenter of the uprising.
The mood is good now and people
are chanting again, he added after
many of the demonstrators returned.
The two days of clashes were
some of the worst since the uprising
ended on Feb. 11.
They were also one of only a few
violent confrontations to involve the
police since the uprising. The black-
clad police were a hated symbol of
Mubaraks regime and after the
uprising, they have largely stayed in
the background while the military
took charge of security.
The military, which took over
from Mubarak, has repeatedly
pledged to hand power to an elected
civilian government, but has yet to
set a specic date.
The protests over the past two
days have demanded a specic date
be set.

ZINTAN, Libya Libyas new leaders
said Sunday they will try Moammar Gadhas
son at home and not hand him over to the
International Criminal Court where hes
charged with crimes against humanity. The
government also announced the capture of the
toppled regimes intelligence minister, who is
also wanted by the court.
In one of several emerging complications,
however, the former rebel faction that cap-
tured Seif al-Islam Gadha a day earlier is
refusing to deliver him to national authorities
in Tripoli, raising concern over whether he
will get a proper trial and demonstrating the
interim leaders weak hold over their frac-
tured nation.
In the capital, Information Minister
Mahmoud Shammam said ex-Intelligence
Minister Abdullah al-Senoussi was captured
alive on Sunday by revolutionary ghters
from a southern region called Fazan, not far
from where Gadhas son was seized on
Saturday while trying to ee to neighboring
Niger.
Fighters tracking al-Senoussi for two days
caught up with him at his sisters house in
Deerat al-Shati, about 40 miles (70 kilome-
ters) south of the desert city of Sebha, said
ghter Abdullah al-Sughayer. There were few
other immediate details on his capture, and it
was not clear whether his captors would also
resist turning him over to Tripoli.
Moscow martial arts fans
greet Putin with catcalls
MOSCOW Russian Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin was greeted by catcalls when
he stepped into the ring after a mixed martial
arts fight at a Moscow arena on Sunday
night.
The whistles and shouts, heard clearly on
the live television broadcast, were an
unprecedented rebuke as Putin prepares to
return to the presidency next year.
A judo enthusiast, Putin has long been an
admirer of Russian heavyweight mixed mar-
tial artist Fedor Emelianenko and came to
see him take on American Jeff Monson.
After Emelianenko won, Putin stepped
into the ring to congratulate him, but was
met with catcalls from many of the 22,000
fans at the Olympic Stadium.
Woman to begin Antarctic
crossing, awaits weather
CARACAS, Venezuela A 33-year-old
British adventurer preparing for a historic
solo crossing of Antarctica was waiting at a
base camp for the weather to improve on
Sunday in order to begin her long journey on
skis.
Felicity Aston said she has been doing
more than physical training to ready herself
for the expedition.
Ive also been speaking to a sports psy-
chologist about the mental aspect of it
because so much of this is about where your
heads at rather than your muscles and your
physical fitness, Aston told the Associated
Press in a telephone interview from the base
camp at Union Glacier.
She aims to become the first person to
cross Antarctica alone using only muscle
power. If she manages to complete the jour-
ney in late January as planned, she would
also set a record for the longest solo polar
expedition by a woman, at about 70 days.
Unfortunately the weather hasnt been
kind to us so far, Aston said.
Iran: Presidents
press adviser sentenced
TEHRAN, Iran The Iranian presidents
press adviser has been sentenced to a year in
prison on charges of publishing materials
contrary to Islamic norms, the official
IRNA news agency reported Sunday.
Ali Akbar Javanfekr has also been banned
from journalism activities for three years,
IRNA said.
Javanfekr is just the latest of dozens of
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejads political
backers to be targeted by hard-line oppo-
nents. This appears to be part of an internal
power struggle over influencing upcoming
elections for parliament, slated for March,
and for president in 2013.

The road to success
Editor,
Just a quick note to say I loved Jon
Mays column The Path to Prosperity,
in the Nov. 18 edition of the Daily
Journal. What a well thought-out and
brilliantly expressed piece. Its an
example of common sense in a world
where I am afraid common sense is no
longer common.
I am a believer that the road to suc-
cess is paved on personal responsibility
and taking action. Of course its easier
to blame others, but that only makes
one dependent on the plans of others.
As Jim Rohn said, If you dont design
your own life plan, chances are youll
fall into someone elses plan. And
guess what they have planned for you?
Not much. I am writing a book on that
very subject the triad of belief,
responsibility and action. We all under-
stand that equality of opportunity, fair-
ness and just behavior are desired and
perhaps should even be demanded, but
many seem to always choose to play
the blame and complain game.
Heres to new ideas, ingenuity, bring-
ing value and service to the market-
place, as well as everyone. Heres to a
positive and consistent work ethic, a
strong foundation of belief and person-
al responsibility, the courage to take
action and the fortitude to see it
through!

T
olstoy begins his epic Anna
Karenina by saying happy fami-
lies are all alike; every unhappy
family is unhappy in its own way. Yet in
business, particularly in case of
grandiose startups, the reverse is true.
Each successful emerging company
becomes successful in its own unique
way, but failed ones are alike.
With its high-prole debacle, Solyndra
has joined the iniquitous club of billion-
dollar startup failures that includes the
likes of Webvan and Eclipse Aviation.
Ranging from e-commerce to aviation,
and now solar energy, the allure of mak-
ing it big in a suddenly-changing busi-
ness environment, attracts big invest-
ments. Thats when the greed wins over
the fear due to exhilaration induced by
the potential of huge success, while
rational and analytical decisions are for-
saken.
As the entire business complex
changed in the 1990s due to the rapid
commercialization of the Internet, the
pitch of Webvan during the height of the
Internet bubble was to leverage on the
phenomenal web-based fever of the time,
even tapping into the public equity mar-
ket with an IPO. The premise was sim-
ple: stop going to grocery stores and
order online for quick delivery. When the
model didnt work in one market,
Webvan argued it had to expand in more
markets in a hurry. It ignored the fact that
online grocery retailing needed function-
ing, and money-making, physical gro-
cery retailing, a simple due-diligence
question that no investor asked.
After the horric terrorist attack on
Sept. 11, 2001, commercial aviation
changed instantly. That senseless act of
violence changed the fabric of commer-
cial air travel. Many thought the reliance
on airlines needed to be adjusted, hence
private aviation became the dominant
viewpoint.
What better than an air taxi operation
out of local airports, bypassing the long
security lines at large commercial air-
ports, avoiding packed planes and even
getting quickly to locations not served by
airlines, while doing so at a reasonably
low price! But, for
that, a new genera-
tion of small aircraft,
the so-called very-
light jets, was need-
ed. A rush was pur-
sued to build the jets.
Manufacturing
engines for those jets
proved challenging
and time consuming.
Coupled with a long certication process
for a new-generation aircraft, while
building the infrastructure of support and
services, exacerbated the problems.
At the front was Eclipse, a novel and
slick ying machine. With a war chest of
a billion dollars, it took on the battle to
build those small jets and sell them not
only to yet other air taxi startups, but to
those whose options at the time were tur-
boprops, not jets. They didnt make it
and declared bankruptcy. The anticipated
demand for the aircraft, or the air taxi
service, was never there.
In the early part of the last decade, two
critical issues came to fore: the excessive
reliance on unstable foreign sources of
energy and the climate change due to
carbon-based energy consumption. In
turn, that quickly created a rush to alter-
native sources of energy, free of carbon
and domestically produced.
Out of that relatively sudden change in
viewing energy, Solyndra was created in
the solar segment. It was a product of yet
another frenzy to create an enterprise in
an area where money was owing into
easily and with minimal scrutiny, all as a
result of a rapid transformation due to
shifting values in producing energy.
The rest is now widely reported in the
media: fast-paced building of the compa-
ny and its manufacturing facilities, offer-
ing products that didnt sell.
The unlearned lesson of these high-y-
ing failures is striking. As widely-under-
stood business milieu changes due to cer-
tain technology breakthroughs, changing
values, or even regulatory reforms, the
rush begins. Investments pour in, often in
the wrong spots in the value chain. Early
warnings are ignored, and chances to
adjust the course are missed. The stead-
fast argument becomes to grow fast,
leading to merely losses ever growing. At
the end after the total collapse, the retri-
bution prevails through an investigation
to nd out whose fault it was for the
mess.
In solar energy, investors have consis-
tently missed where the key opportuni-
ties are in the value chain. Manufacturing
is a crowded area. Yet investment oppor-
tunities are in transmission and distribu-
tion. Industrial-scaled solar energy gener-
ation is faced with an antiquated grid,
facing utilities that are operating on
equally-antiquated business processes.
Retailing to customers simply wishing to
install solar panels on their rooftops con-
tinues to be problematic, with pitfalls in
support and services.
Attracting investments to the delivery
of energy is much more difcult since it
is not as eye-catching as generation.
Investors, usually not knowing the differ-
ence between watt and volt, like solar
energy generation, and even without
bothering with technical detail, can be
enticed.
Alternative energy, solar in particular,
is vitally important to our future.
Setbacks like Solyndra hurt the cause of
making clean and renewable energy an
ever larger component of the total energy
consumption.
But there is also a silver lining.
Hopefully now smarter money will ow
into solar energy investments, with only
sophisticated professionals entering to
play in this domain. Better investments
will be made, and wealth will be created
for investors in areas where both invest-
ments are needed and opportunities for
high return exist.
Freud is attributed to have said that
sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. The
saying can be extended to Solyndras
saga. Sometimes a bad investment is just
a bad investment.

Solyndras seen-before odyssey
Are we like
Greece?
M
uch has been made about the nancial turmoil in
Greece and Italy and its impact on the European
Union and us. We know that Greece has been
spending beyond its means, as has Europe and the United
States.
But what has not received much attention is that too many
Greeks dont pay taxes. Tax evasion is a way of life. Lately
there have been some attempts to widen the collection pool.
Helicopters have been sent to the plush suburbs in northern
Athens to locate swimming pools in the homes of profes-
sionals who claim they are living on a subsistence income.
Thousands of pools have
been recorded but only 300
of these homeowners have
declared them on their tax
forms. Meanwhile, a favorite
tax escape for many is to be
paid in cash. According to
their local press, a Greek eye
surgeon told state radio that
only the stupid pay taxes.
With tax collections still a
challenge, Greece has now
imposed heavy value-added
taxes on consumers and a
special real estate tax on
electricity bills in hopes of
meeting targets to receive
the next round of loans from its European colleagues.
***
The United States, unlike many other countries in the
world, has until recently enjoyed a culture in which people
understand they must pay their fair share even though lobby-
ists and special interests have used campaign contributions
and perks to obtain loopholes and exemptions in the tax code
to favor their clients. But what is bringing us closer to
Greece is a new political credo with advocates in Congress
and on the presidential trail telling Americans that taxes are
evil. And that even those very wealthy who already take
advantage of a tax code which favors investors over workers
should be exempt from paying their fair share. From Herman
Cains 9-9-9 to Rick Santorums 0-0-0 to Rick Perrys com-
plaint that 47 percent of Americans do not pay any federal
income taxes most of whom, according to The
Economist, live below the poverty line and pay payroll taxes
on what little they earn the candidates prefer to soak the
poor with sales taxes.
***
The man who may go down in the history books as the
one who demoted the United States to the second tier status
in the world s economy is Grover Norquist, the lobbyist
with the no-tax pledge. Despite reports that the congression-
al decit panel might come to some agreement on new rev-
enue as well as additional cuts, Norquist is condent that at
the end of the day, the republican House will not pass a tax
increase.
***
Greek workers have gotten used to good pay and benets
which are now being taken away. Shopkeepers see their cus-
tomers and their livelihoods disappearing. They blame the
politicians. Meanwhile, violent street demonstrations have
become a way of life and the rich are covering up their
swimming pools with nets so they wont be seen from above.
Greece and Europe have yet to learn there is no such thing as
a free lunch. I am afraid we are in the same boat.
***
Margin Call is a must-see movie. I was disappointed this
well-done movie is not being shown at mainstream theaters
in San Mateo and in Redwood City. The movie describes
how a few decided to plunge the entire system into nancial
chaos.
We saw Margin Call on a Sunday afternoon in Palo
Alto. We then watched CBSs 60 minutes with the confes-
sion of lobbyist Jack Abramoff about how the system was
rigged and wrong. He himself admitted to controlling 100
members of Congress. He was able to insert a sentence into
a bill which no one understood except the committee chair (a
recipient of Abramoff cash and perks) which gave
Abramoffs clients a whopping tax deduction. It passed with-
out notice or objection. The following week, CBS exposed
how members of Congress on both sides of the aisle prot
from insider trading but are exempt from punishment.
***
On a lighter note, be thankful for the local paper which
knows the community. Election returns in the San Francisco
Chronicle following the Nov. 8 election listed a Daly City
councilmember as the winner of the council election in
Burlingame. Meanwhile the San Francisco Examiner
referred to former Millbrae mayor Robert Gottschalk as a
newcomer in his hotly contested race for re-election.

NEW YORK U.S. companies are
on track to post record prots this year.
Stocks are cheap by some measures.
And now even the hot IPO is back, hand-
ing riches to a lucky few and lling the
rest of us with two emotions necessary
for any bull market envy and greed.
Its enough to make you think stocks
might recapture their April highs soon.
But dont bet on it.
Angies List Inc., the consumer review
site, rose 25 percent in its public debut
Thursday, more than double the average
rst-day gain for initial public offerings.
It was the highlight of one of the busiest
weeks for IPOs this year, a welcome
break after almost no offerings for three
months as companies pulled plans
because of wild swings in the stock mar-
ket.
IPOs have recovered from their sum-
mer doldrums, says Jay Ritter, a nance
professor at the University of Florida
and IPO expert. Good companies can
go public again.
Most investors couldnt care less,
however. The Standard & Poors 500 fell
3.8 percent this past week, the worst
since September.
In addition to Angies List, seven com-
panies made public debuts this week
including Delphi Automotive PLC, a
once-bankrupt auto parts maker, which
slipped 3 percent on its rst day. On
Friday, Mattress Firm Holding Corp., a
mattress retailer, had a rst-day gain of
16 percent. Those sales followed a hot
initial offering this month by Groupon
Inc., the online coupon company.
The question now: Will a few success-
ful offerings help convince companies
that have delayed IPOs to go ahead?
A.B. Mendez, a stock analyst at the
research firm Greencrest Capital, is
hopeful. He notes that shares of Angies
List rose despite the fact that the compa-
ny has yet to turn a prot and generated
only $59 million in revenue last year.
Theyve stoked excitement, he says
of the recent offerings. The bar for
IPOs has come down.
While making it easier for iffy outts
to sell shares might sound bad, it could
help break the logjam of planned offer-
ings. Some companies are small with lit-
tle or no prots, too.
The backlog totals 179 companies,
according to Dealogic, a research rm.
The companies hope to raise $30 billion
selling stock.
IPOs excite investors

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALO ALTO Everyone dreams of
striking it rich and what they would
do with such a windfall. A new house? A
fancy car? Maybe designer clothes
selected by a personal shopper.
For some in Silicon Valley, those
wishes may soon come true.
As restrictions on selling stock are lift-
ed at a handful of sizzling startups, early
investors and employees are preparing
for big payouts.
What they do with their riches is any-
ones guess, but luxury retailers and
wealth managers say theyre expecting a
bump in business and have been prepar-
ing for this new crop of Internet million-
aires.
We anticipate more activity over the
next few months, said Richard
Levinsohn, manager at Porsche of
Stevens Creek in Santa Clara. A lot of
these people will have new found wealth
and theyre looking for a place to spend
it. Were only too happy to help.
After a company goes public, nancial
regulations prohibit investors and
employees who held shares before the
listing to immediately cash out. That
means companies that started trading on
the stock market in the summer are just
now emerging from the so-called lock-
up period.
The first up with the most buzz?
LinkedIn Corp., which went public in
May.
With its lockup expiring this month,
the Mountain View-based social net-
working site announced last week that
employees and early backers sold nearly
7.5 million shares at $71 apiece.
In a regulatory ling Wednesday, the
company listed six individuals and a
group of a dozen unnamed executives
and directors who sold shares.
According to the ling, CEO Jeff Weiner
stands to gain more than $25 million,
based on the $71 share price minus fees.
A handful of other stockholders and
venture capital rms also sold shares for
million dollar payouts.
While only a wee slice of the popula-
tion, these newly minted high-end
spenders can make a difference in the
luxury good bottom line, retailers say.
They also infuse optimism in the market.
Were denitely more condent tak-
ing on the really expensive homes now,
the $3 million to $10 million range, and
knowing we can move them, said Steve
Cooper, of Intero Real Estate Services.
Startup payouts thrill Silicon Valley

WASHINGTON A special decit-
reduction supercommittee appears likely
to admit failure on Monday, unable or
unwilling to compromise on a mix of
spending cuts and tax increases required
to meet its assignment of saving taxpay-
ers at least $1.2 trillion over the coming
decade.
The panel is sputtering to a close after
two months of talks in which they were
never able to get close to bridging a fun-
damental divide over how much to raise
taxes to address a budget decit that
forced the government to borrow 36
cents of every dollar it spent last year.
Members of the bipartisan panel,
formed during the summer crisis over
raising the governments borrowing
limit, spent their time on Sunday in testy
performances on television talk shows,
blaming each other for the impasse.
In a series of television interviews, not
a single panelist seemed optimistic
about any last-minute breakthrough.
And it was clear that the two sides had
never gotten particularly close, at least
in the ofcial exchanges of offers that
were leaked to the media.
Aides said any remaining talks had
broken off.
There is one sticking divide. And
thats the issue of what I call shared sac-
rice, said panel co-chair Sen. Patty
Murray, D-Wash., on CNNs State of
the Union.
The wealthiest Americans who earn
over a million a year have to share too.
And that line in the sand, we havent
seen Republicans willing to cross yet,
she said
Republicans said Democrats demands
on taxes were simply too great and
werent accompanied by large enough
proposals to curb the explosive growth
of so-called entitlement programs like
Medicare and Medicaid.
If you look at the Democrats posi-
tion it was We have to raise taxes. We
have to pass this jobs bill, which is
another almost half-trillion dollars. And
were not excited about entitlement
reform, countered Republican Jon
Kyl of Arizona on NBCs Meet the
Press.
Debt panel poised to admit failure

NEW YORK Theodore J.
Forstmann, a longtime Wall Street nan-
cier who was a major player during the
wave of corporate takeovers in the 1980s,
including the battle for RJR Nabisco in
1988, died Sunday at the age of 71.
The cause was brain cancer, according
to a statement from sports marketing giant
IMG, where Forstmann served as chair-
man and CEO. He was the senior found-
ing partner of the investment rm
Forstmann Little & Co.
Forstmann Little, which was founded in
1978, completed leveraged buyouts of
companies including Dr. Pepper, Yankee
Candle, the cable TV technology compa-
ny General Instrument and Community
Health Systems.
In the 1980s, the rm had become one
of Wall Streets most successful special-
ists in leveraged buyouts. The rms deals
generated lofty returns for its partners and
outside investors, which included many
corporate pension funds.
Forstmann Little used bank loans and
its own funds to nance acquisitions. It
eschewed the high-yield junk bonds
many other rms used to supplement their
own money.
In a leveraged buyout, a company is
purchased with mostly borrowed money,
with the remaining cost representing the
equity contributed by the buyers. The debt
is then repaid with funds generated from
the companys cash ow or sales of assets.
Once the debt is reduced, the value of
the investors equity can soar. And the
investors can realize that gain if the com-
pany is resold or sells new stock to the
public.
In 1988, Forstmann made clear his dis-
taste for deal making greased by junk
bonds, which he considered to be too
risky. The AP quoted him as saying
Todays nancial age has become a peri-
od of unbridled excess with accepted risk
soaring out of proportion to possible
reward.
Every week, with ever-increasing lev-
els of irresponsibility, many billions of
dollars in American assets are being sad-
dled with debt that has virtually no chance
of being repaid, he said.
In 1988, the dollar amount of mergers
and acquisitions nanced largely with
borrowed money totaled more than $200
billion.

SAN JOSE San Mateo County
had three volleyball teams vying for
Central Coast Section titles
Saturday at Independence High in
San Jose.
Menlo-Atherton (Division I) and
Sacred Heart Prep (Division IV)
were both making their third
straight championship appearances,
while Woodside Priory (Division V)
was in its rst CCS nal since 2004.
None of the three, however, found
any success. Menlo-Atherton, the
No. 2 seed, was swept by top seed
and defending state champion Palo
Alto. Sacred Heart Prep, the top
seed and two-time defending CCS
DIV title holder, was stunned in a
three-game sweep at the hands of
No. 2 Soquel. Woodside Priory, the
top seed in DV, put up the biggest
ght, but eventually fell to No. 2
Castilleja in ve sets, 25-23, 24-26,
25-15, 21-25, 15-6.
The good news, however, is all
three qualify for the Northern
California tournament beginning
this week and still have a shot at
winning a state title.
Having lost the two years before,
it weighs on you, said Menlo-
Atherton coach Jen Wilson.
Its the second straight year M-A
(29-6 overall) has lost to Palo Alto
in the CCS championship match.
The Bears needed to play a perfect
match and even then would have
needed help from the Vikings, who
are obviously one of the top teams
in the state.
At least the Bears did not go qui-
etly, making Palo Alto work for its
second straight CCS title, 25-19,
25-19, 25-14. Palo Alto (33-3) sup-
plied the opening for M-A to pull
off an upset as sloppy play led to a
number of free M-A points. The
Bears offense, however, had a
tough time putting balls away
against a strong Palo Alto defense.

SAN JOSE - It was a roller coast-
er week for the Sacred Heart Prep
boys water polo team, but after see-
ing its string of three straight titles
snapped last year, the Gators
returned to the top of the Central
Coast Section Division II mountain
with a 7-4 win over third-seeded Los
Altos Saturday at Independence
High.
One year ago at this time, (it
was) a completely different feeling,
said Prep coach Brian Kreutzkamp,
referring to last years stunning
defeat to rival Menlo School in the
2010 CCS nals.
If nothing else, the Gators must
feel relieved to be CCS champs in
2011, considering they were this
close to not even making the cham-
pionship match. They needed to
rally for a draining seminal win
over Soquel in which the Gators
outscored the Knights, and followed
that by taking Los Altos best shot
Saturday. The Eagles trailed 3-0
after the rst period, but rallied to tie
the match at 3 in the third period.
But the Gators showed why they
are the top seed in CCS. They pulled
away from the Eagles over the nal
nine-plus minutes, out-scoring them
3-1 to capture the crown.
Its been quite a week,
Kreutzkamp said. Against Soquel,
we gave up the most goals all year.
[Saturday] was our best defensive
effort.

SAN JOSE The offense for the Sacred
Heart Prep girls water polo team is one of the
best in the Central Coast Section.
What sometimes get lost, however, is how
suffocating its defense is.
That was on display Saturday morning in the
CCS Division II championship match against
Los Altos. The top-seeded Gators shut down a
potential potent Eagles offense as Sacred
Heart Prep won 11-4 at Independence High.
[Our defense] was pretty good today, said
Prep coach Jon Burke. Thats what weve
emphasized from the rst day of practice to the
last game of the season.
That was probably the most spectacular
defense weve played all year.
The win was the fth straight CCS title for
the Gators, setting a new CCS record for most
consecutive titles.

Teresa Adam, branch manager
was merely mortal against Soquel as he bat-
tled u-like symptoms, was back on top of his
game against Los Altos. The Eagles peppered
the Gators cage in the rst period, out-shoot-
ing Prep 10-4, but coming up empty as
Runkel made seven saves. One shot missed
the cage completely and Runkel got some
help from the frame as well.
When you have a guy like Will Runkel,
you can afford to make some mistakes (defen-
sively), Kreutzkamp said.
Runkel nished the match with 16 saves.
The Gators offense was nothing but ef-
cient in the rst period. Although they had
only four shots, they scored on the rst three
of the match to take a 3-0 going into the sec-
ond. Zack Churukian was the facilitator for
the Gators offense as he assisted on all three
of Preps rst-period goals. His rst assist
went to Michael Holloway for the rst of his
three goals on the day. Churukian then set up
Kyle Koenig for a perfect one-timer on a
Gators man advantage and then set up
Holloway again with a cross-pool pass.
Los Altos (20-5) got a goal back on an
Adam Warmoth shot in the second period
which jump-started a 3-0 run by the Eagles
that spanned the second and third periods.
The Gators, meanwhile, could not generate
much on offense during that span.
We came out on re and then got a little
tentative, Kreutzkamp said. Los Altos did a
good job of stopping our counter attack.
Kreutzkamp said since he starts only two
seniors and number of players were seeing
their rst signicant action in a championship
match, so they may have been a bit over-
whelmed.
Los Altos Ian McColl drew the Eagles to 3-
2 on a goal at the 4:03 mark of the third peri-
od and when Kevin Stangl tied the match on a
goal with 2:58 left in the third, the partisan
Los Altos crowd erupted. The Eagles had a
chance to take the lead but Warmoth got
unlucky. He had Runkel beat, but his shot
bounced off the goal post.
When the Gators had their chance to take
the lead, they did not miss. Harrison Enright
put the Gators up for good on a power-play
goal with 1:22 left in the third.
Goals from Holloway, on one of the Gators
few counter-attack scores, and Brett Hinrichs
gave the Gators a 6-3 advantage in the fourth
quarter. Los Altos pulled a goal back when
Stangl snuck a goal past Runkel at the near
post, but the Gators regained their three-goal
advantage on another Hinrichs power-play
goal with just over two minutes to play.
Thats been our theme all year,
Kreutzkamp said. Weve had some huge
fourth-quarter comebacks.
Kreutzkamp said he knew the game would
be a defensive battle in the second half and
acknowledged the Gators caught a break
when Los Altos Matthew Orton picked up his
third kickout of the game early in the fourth,
meaning one of the Eagles most dangerous
threats was done for the match. Kreutzkamp
said the plan was to try to score in the ow of
the match, but to really do damage when his
team had the man advantage. Of the Gators
seven goals, ve came on the power play.
The kids did not panic, Kreutzkamp said.
They stayed calm.
The Gators allowed two goals in the second period
and two more in the fourth against the Gators second
string. Gators starting goalie Kelly Moran had a
strong effort in the cage, coming up with 13 saves as
the Gators defense kept most of the Eagles shots on
the perimeter.
Prep also did a fantastic job keeping Los Altos
biggest threats - Katy Schaefer and Olivia Santiago -
in check. Santiago had both fourth quarter goals for
the Eagles, while Schaefer was held scoreless for the
rst time this season.
Those were the two we focused on, Burke said.
The Eagles tried a similar approach against the
Gators fearsome twosome of Pippa Temple and Erin
Sheridan.
The Gators, however, are far from a two-person
team.
Weve been hearing a lot, Its Pippa and Erin,
Sheridan said. its really not. ... Its a team effort.
Temple admits its frustrating when defenses puts
so much focus on stopping her, but she realizes it just
opens the offense up for the rest of her teammates.
Of course its frustrating, but coach Burke says ...
It leaves our outside shooters open, Temple said.
Added Burke: Weve always stressed for us to
win, we need to have a balanced effort.
It also helps to have your two beat players also
among your most versatile. Sheridan and Temple can
play just about anywhere, so with the Eagles concen-
trating on the hole set, Temple merely moved out of
there and still nished with match-high ve goals.
Sheridan managed but one goal, but Morgan
McCracken added a pair, while Bridgette Harper,
Maddie Casciaro and Mackenzie OHolleran each
added one apiece.
The Gators led 4-0 after the rst period and tacked
on two more in the second to hold a 6-2 lead at half-
time. They pushed their lead to 8-2 after three and
added three more for good measure in the fourth.
The score would have been even greater if not for
the play of Los Altos goalie Nicole Larson. She made
a number of great saves and nished with 13 for the
game.
She is, without question, one of the top goalies in
CCS, Burke said. We were taking good shots, they
just werent going.
With the win, this Sacred Heart Prep senior class
have never nished a season with a loss and those
seniors did not want that streak to end Saturday.
That was not going to be us, Sheridan said. Our
team goal was to get to this game.
Said Temple: There are no words to describe how
proud I am of this (senior) class.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Last we explored the Central Coast
Section playoffs, we presented the 10
biggest questions heading into a week-
end full of football.
And after a weekend full of ups,
downs, masterful performances and a
surprise or two, we nally have our
concrete answers. The county enjoyed
a 5-5 mark in its 10 games. Heres what
you might have missed.
Serra 36, Wilcox 6
Our prediction was that Serra (No. 1,
Division I) would completely dominate
a Chargers team they best in Week 0 of
the season. And the Padres did just that
behind another electric performance by
Erich Wilson. Wilson scored twice on
touchdowns of 99 and 14 yards. Joey
Erdie accounted for two scores (a pass
to Brad Northnagel and a 1-yard run).
Eric Redwood added another touch-
down.
Aragon 31, Sobrato 17
The Dons (No. 4, Division II) had to
overcome a 17-12 halftime decit in
securing in their rst CCS win in two
years. Marcell Jacksons second touch-
down of the game gave Aragon the lead
for good early in the third quarter. But
it the Dons defense that came up huge
on a goal line stand that preserved the
lead shortly after. Aragon wore down
Sobrato late in the game to pull ahead.
Sacred Heart Prep 27,
Scotts Valley 20
After a relatively easy win over
Scotts Valley early in the season, it
took a Jack Larson touchdown with 10
seconds left in the game to give the
Gators (No. 4, Division IV) a CCS win.
It was Larsons rst game back follow-
ing a three-week hiatus after injuring
himself in a game against Menlo-

New name. Same result.
The College of San Mateo isnt a
stranger to the Bulldog Bowl, hav-
ing played in it a handful of times
over the years. On Saturday though,
CSM christened the Bothman
Bulldog Bowl in record-breaking
fashion, beating Diablo Valley
College 62-24.
The victory means the Bulldogs
conclude their season at 8-3 for the
second straight year. CSMs victory
Saturday was their sixth the Bulldog
Bowl a game theyve played in at
the end of the season every year
except for 2008.
CSM broke all sorts of records en
route to their win.
Their 62 points broke the previ-
ous mark of 41 in 2005.
Their 422 yards rushing broke the
previous mark of 347, also in 2005.
Their 581 yards of total offense is
another 2005 record broken
Saturday afternoon.
Notice a theme?
CSM dominated for most of the
four hour, 18 minute ball game.
With the exception of a stretch in
the third quarter, in which the
Vikings scored a pair of touch-
downs, the Bulldog defense was in
control. And it was this same
defense that put the game away for
good with the score at 45-24 head-
ing into the fourth quarter.
After a Kenny Anderson field
goal midway through the fourth
quarter, the Bulldogs returned two
DVC interceptions for touchdowns.
The rst was a 59-yard touchdown
by Nate Jackson. And the second
came less than a minute later on a
52-yard touchdown return by Tevita
Lataimua.
CSM jumped out to a 28-0 lead
behind a trio of Jonathan Willis
touchdown passes (yes, passes).
The rst came on CSMs rst offen-
sive play from scrimmage with
Antoine Turner burning the DVC
secondary on a 65-yard touchdown
catch. It was the rst of three touch-
down catches for Turner (65, 7 and
9 yards), which tied another
Bulldog Bowl records for most TD
receptions in a game.
The next CSM touchdown was
also a record-breaker. Vaughn Smith
took a handoff, bolted through the
DVC line and down the sideline for
a 68-yard touchdown run. That
scamper broke the record for
longest rushing touchdown set in
2008.
Willis had a career day for the
Bulldogs. He passed for 159 yards
and four touchdowns. He also
rushed for 111 yards.
CCSF 3, Skyline 1
The ball bounced the home
teams way Saturday afternoon in
San Francisco as City College
defeated Skyline 3-1 in the rst
round of the CCCAA womens soc-
cer playoffs.
The Lady Trojans came in as the
No. 15 seed, while the Rams were
No. 2 after going unbeaten in divi-
sion play in 2011.
We played well, just not well
enough to win, said Skyline head
coach Kevin Corsiglia via email.
CCSF struck rst in the ninth
minute off a corner kick that
deected off a Skyline defender.
Skyline answered back in the 25th
minute when Katie Jacques scored
her 23rd goal of the season a
through ball by Jazmin Cazares.
Both team had several other
chances to score before the half but
could not convert.
In the second half CCSF scored a
the go-ahead goal in the 55th
minute off a shot from outside the
18 that hit the post and bounced out
to a waiting Ram who put the ball in
the back of the net.
CCSFs dagger came in the 75th
minute when they scored on a long
service to the back post that wasnt
cleared by one of Skylines defend-
ers and landed at the foot of a CCSF
forward for an easy put away.
CSM closes season out with a win
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Any
questions about whether Alex
Smith and the San Francisco 49ers
could throw the ball around
washed away with the rain against
another overmatched NFC West
opponent.
Smith threw for 267 yards and
two touchdowns and the 49ers
forced five turnovers to blow past
the Arizona Cardinals 23-7 on a
soggy Sunday at the Candlestick
Park.
Smith tossed scores to Kyle
Williams and Vernon Davis on the
first two drives
of the third
quarter to help
the 49ers pull
away for their
eighth straight
victory. San
Francisco (9-1)
can clinch the
NFC West with
a win at
Baltimore on Thursday and a loss
by Seattle against Washington next
weekend.
Patrick Willis, Donte Whitner
and Dashon Goldson all intercept-
ed passes by John Skelton. The
quarterback for the Cardinals (3-7)
lost for the first time in three starts
this season in place of the injured
Kevin Kolb.
The conditions turned out to be
just perfect for San Franciscos
style.
With a chilly rainstorm pelting
the Bay Area since Saturday, the
49ers defense bullied and bruised
Arizona all over a slick field. The
Cardinals converted only two first
downs in the first half and didnt
make it past midfield until late in
the third quarter.
Once the rain subsided and a
rainbow formed on the north side
of Candlestick, the 49ers finally
opened up an otherwise passive
passing game.
Smith connected with Williams
on a route to the near pylon in the
third quarter. Williams stretched
over the goal line as he was tack-
led to complete the 8-yard TD
catch.
After Skelton sailed a pass that
Whitner stood under for an easy
interception, Smith rallied San
Francisco for another quick score.
He found Davis for an 18-yard
touchdown to put San Francisco
ahead 23-0. The tight end leaped
over sideline cameramen and
flexed his muscles to a rain-soaked
crowd covered in ponchos and
umbrellas in celebration.
Far too much for Arizonas ane-
mic offense to overcome.
Skelton had won the previous
two games against St. Louis and
Philadelphia since replacing Kolb,
whos out with a right foot and toe
injury. Skelton was 6 of 19 for 99
yards and was benched after
throwing his third interception
the last to Goldson over the middle
on a pass intended for Larry
Fitzgerald in place of third-
string quarterback Richard Bartel
to start the fourth.

We couldnt put the ball down when we
needed to, Wilson said.
The Bears simply could not contend with
Palo Altos 6-5 middle Melanie Wade or out-
side hitter Maddie Kuppe. Wade nished with
a match-high 24 kills, including 12 in the rst
game alone. Kuppe added 11.
We needed to take Melanie and Maddie out
of the game, Wilson said. [Wade is] so tall.
She doesnt even need to approach to get past
our block.
We werent being disciplined (enough) on
defense.
The Vikings jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead
in Game 1 and threatened to run away with it,
but the Bears dug in and tied the match at 11
on Sarah Collins service ace. A block for a kill
from Ali Spindt, who nished with a team-
high 10 kills, tied the match at 14 for the
Bears, but the Vikings steadily pulled away. A
Palo Alto serving error got M-A to 19-18, but
the Vikings reeled off six of the next seven
points to take the Game 1 victory.
Game 2 was the most even of the three
games as there were seven ties and ve lead
changes. With the score tied at 12, Palo Alto
won nine of the next 12 points to take a com-
manding 20-15 lead. Two Palo Alto errors and
a Spindt kill got the Bears to 20-18, but the
Vikings nished the game on a 5-1 run to go
up 2-0.
In Game 3, the Bears committed only four
errors and yet they were never really in the
game. After an early decit, M-A cut Palo
Altos lead to 8-6, but the Vikings went on a 5-
0 run for a 14-6 advantage and were never
really challenged the rest of the way.
The girls played really hard and should be
proud of how they played, Wilson said.
The Division IV nal saw one of the most
remarkable collapses in CCS championship
history as No. 2 Soquel swept top seeded and
two-time defending champ Sacred Heart Prep,
25-23, 25-20, 26-24.
After losing the rst two games, Sacred
Heart Prep (23-7) looked poised to force a
Game 4 and perhaps grab the momentum
away from the Knights. The Gators led Game
3 24-14 on a Sarah Daschbach kill and needed
to win only one more point.
The Gators never got it. With Soquels
Camille Steber serving, the Knights (31-4)
won 12 straight points to stun Sacred Heart
Prep and complete the sweep.
Sacred Heart Prep simply could not contain
Soquels hitters. Bria Morgan was especially
unstoppable as she nished with 20 kills. Five
Soquel players nished with ve or more kills,
compared to four for the Gators. All told, the
Knights had 50 kills for the match. The Gators
nished with 41.
Daschbach led the Gators with 14 kills, fol-
lowed by Jesse Ebner with 11.
With both offenses relatively even, the dif-
ference came down to errors. Sacred Heart
Prep gave away 10 points in that fateful Game
3, but had only 11 in Games 1 and 2, com-
bined.

Pioneer scored 10 points in the

MINNEAPOLIS Hue Jackson
watched his Oakland Raiders over-
come a serious injury to receiver
Darrius Heyward-Bey, a costly
turnover by running back Michael
Bush and, in Jacksons eyes, some
unfair treatment from the ofcials to
remain on top of the AFC West.
Just another day at the ofce for
one of the leagues most resilient
teams.
Carson Palmer threw for 164
yards and a touchdown and ran for
another score in a 27-21 victory
over the Minnesota Vikings on
Sunday.
We continue to battle and thats
what I really love about my football
team is they wont quit, Jackson
said.
Bush rushed for 109 yards and a
touchdown for the Raiders (6-4),
who barely held on in a mistake-
lled fourth quarter that may have
been inuenced by Heyward-Beys
scary exit.
Adrian Peterson left the game in
the second quarter because of an
injured left ankle for the Vikings,
who fell to 2-8 for the rst time
since 1962.
Palmer, who
completed 17 of
23 passes in his
third game as the
Oakland starter,
led the Raiders
to touchdown
drives after two
turnovers and a
botched field
goal by the
Vikings, helping Oakland take a 27-
7 lead into the fourth quarter.
But Heyward-Bey was injured
when linebacker E.J. Hendersons
knee inadvertently hit him in the
back of the head while he was being
tackled, and his teammates were
visibly shaken as he was taken off
the eld with no movement in his
extremities visible.
Its definitely scary, Palmer
said. Our thoughts and prayers are
with him and I know he has family
watching the game. Its a tough situ-
ation to be in.
Jackson said Heyward-Bey had
total movement in his limbs and that
he has been diagnosed with a neck
injury. Jackson said it was his hope
that the former first-round draft
choice would join the team on the
plane ride home and undergo further
tests in Oakland.
Hes going to be ne, Jackson
said. I truly believe hes going to be
OK, but obviously we have to take
all the precautionary measures to
make sure hes going to be OK.
After the injury, the Raiders had a
eld goal blocked and their defense
committed a rash of penalties to
help the Vikings get back in the
game.
Christian Ponder threw a 26-yard
TD pass to Percy Harvin to make it
27-14. Three Raiders penalties
helped the Vikings move into scor-
ing range again on the next posses-
sion, but Stanford Routt intercepted
Ponder in the end zone to end that
threat.
But Bush fumbled a few players
later and Ponder cashed in with a 1-
yard TD to Kyle Rudolph.
The Vikings got the ball back at
their own 29 with three minutes to
play. But Tyvon Branch broke up a
pass to Harvin on fourth down to
preserve the victory.
Ponder was 19 for 33 for 211
yards, two touchdowns and three
interceptions.
Bad decisions by me, and I take
full responsibility for this loss,
Ponder said.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. Tony
Stewart insisted he wasnt a title
contender when NASCARs cham-
pionship race began.
When it became clear he actually
was a viable threat, he kicked it
into another gear and vowed to go
for broke in his pursuit of Carl
Edwards.
Did he ever.
Stewart used a powerful and
relentless drive some might sug-
gest the best in NASCAR history
on Sunday in the season finale
to seize his third NASCAR cham-
pionship. He overcame a hole in
the grill of his Chevrolet, a rain
delay, used debatable fuel strategy
and made 116 passes on the track
to win at Homestead-Miami
Speedway.
Edwards led the most laps 119
of the 267 but finished a help-
less second. The two ended up tied
in the final Sprint Cup points stand-
ings, but Stewarts five victories
all in the chase to Edwards one
gave him the championship.
Stewart became the first
owner/driver to win the champi-
onship since the late Alan Kulwicki
in 1992, and the driver to end
J i m m i e
J o h n s o n s
record five-year
title run.
Are you kid-
ding me?
Stewart asked
in Victory
Lane. We said
all week wed
just go out and
win the race and didnt have to
worry about what he did. If this
doesnt go down as one of the
greatest championship battles in
history, I dont know what will.
If this doesnt go down as one of
the greatest championship battles
in history, I dont know what is.
Edwards was disappointed but
held his head high after the race.
This night is about Tony
Stewart. Those guys rose to the
occasion and they beat us fair and
square, Edwards said. That is all
I had. We came here and sat on the
pole, led the most laps and Tony
still managed. Thats it. Thats all I
got at the end. Thats as hard as I
can drive.
I told my wife, If I cant win
this thing, Im going to be the best
loser NASCAR has ever had. So,
Im going to try really hard to keep
my head up and know that well
just go next year and well be just
as hard to beat.

W
eather forecasters are calling for
rain. Lets hope theyre right. For
one, all of us can use it. For two,
some of us can really use it. A rainy day is an
excellent training opportunity. Heres the
deal. Some dogs react to rain; negative reac-
tions range from being hesitant or uncomfort-
able to avoiding it all costs. Growing up, our
dog Ginger could not be lured out in the rain
for a T-bone steak. Murray, the handsome
mop pictured above, is not crazy about the
rain. He takes a step outside, then comes
right back if he feels drops. But he will walk
in the rain and storms dont bother him at all.
This issue is important to you because you
want a condent dog who is not afraid of less
than ideal conditions and you really dont
want a dog whos afraid to go outside and do
his business when its raining. Or worse,
have an accident inside. Thats just not con-
venient for you. So if it rains, make the out-
doors your classroom. Rather than hunkering
down inside, take him outside and do some-
thing fun. If he has a favorite toy he likes to
fetch, use that. Praise him more than you
normally do when he retrieves the toy or ball.
Or, if he likes walking, take a walk, making
sure to go overboard on the praise. Your
neighbors may think youre a little goofy, but
theres a reason behind the madness. Your
goal is to make this outing the most fun hes
ever had. If it rains again, repeat. Soon, your
dog wont associate rainy weather with nega-
tive reactions like hesitancy or fear, but hell
look at it like any other dry day. This will
make both of your lives easier. And, havent
you always secretly wanted to get trendy rain
gear for him anyway?

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES The Twilight Saga
has staked out another huge opening with a
$139.5 million rst weekend domestically and
a worldwide launch of $283.5 million.
The domestic total gives The Twilight
Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 the second-
best debut weekend for the franchise, after the
$142.8 million launch for 2009s The
Twilight Saga: New Moon. Breaking
Dawn did more than half of its business, $72
million, on opening day Friday, while the
movies debut weekend was the fth-best on
record.
Opening in 54 overseas markets, Breaking
Dawn pulled in $144 million internationally,
according to studio estimates Sunday.
But the Warner Bros. dancing penguin
sequel Happy Feet 2 stumbled in its debut,
pulling in just $22 million over opening week-
end. Thats barely half what the rst lm in
the animated franchise earned in its 2006
opening.
The comparison is even worse considering
the original did not have the sequels price
advantage for 3-D screenings, which cost a
few dollars more than 2-D shows.
The previous weekends No. 1 movie,
Relativity Medias action tale Immortals,
fell to third-place with $12.3 million, raising
its domestic haul to $53 million.
George Clooney had a great start with Fox
Searchlights comic drama The
Descendants, which broke into the top-10
despite playing in just a handful of theaters.
The Descendants nished at No. 10 with
$1.2 million in 29 theaters, averaging a whop-
ping $42,150 a cinema. That compares to an
average of $34,351 in 4,061 theaters for
Breaking Dawn.
Directed by Alexander Payne (Sideways),
the lm stars Clooney as a distressed dad
tending to his daughters after his wife falls
into a coma from a head injury. The lm
expands to about 400 theaters Wednesday.
In an industry whose main audience is
young males, Twilight is a rare blockbuster
franchise driven by female viewers.
Distributor Summit Entertainment reported
that women and girls made up 80 percent of
the audience for Breaking Dawn.
The popularity of Twilight has left many
men scratching their heads, even those
involved in releasing the movies.
Im 53 years old, and I havent gured it
out yet, said Richie Fay, head of distribution
for Summit. It relates really to young girls
and things that are important to them, their
romantic ideas of love and relationships, with-
out getting so physical, at least on screen, that
it becomes a worry for their parents.
Breaking Dawn has brooding teen Bella
(Kristen Stewart) marrying vampire lover
Edward (Robert Pattinson), whose family
strikes an uneasy alliance with jealous were-
wolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner) to protect the
bride and the baby shes carrying.
The movies big start points to even better
business for next years Breaking Dawn
Part 2, the nale in the ve-lm series based
on Stephenie Meyers best-selling novels.
Breaking Dawn was a windfall for
Hollywood in general, whose domestic rev-
enues continue to trail 2010s despite rosy
projections last spring of a record box-ofce
year.
Domestic business totaled $222 million, up
14 percent from the same weekend last year,
when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
Part 1 led with $125 million, according to
box-ofce tracker Hollywood.com.
The penguins of Happy Feet 2 were left in
the cold compared with the big debut for the
rst lm, a critical favorite that won the
Academy Award for feature animation.
The sequel, featuring returning voice stars
Elijah Wood and Robin Williams, received
mixed to bad reviews. Still, Warner Bros.
reported it earned high marks from audiences,
which could keep it aoat in the coming
weeks.
We honestly feel well pick up some steam
and play some catch-up as we get into the hol-
idays, said Dan Fellman, head of distribution
at Warner.
But the competition for family audiences
turns intense in the next few days with Martin
Scorseses youthful adventure Hugo, the
musical comedy The Muppets and the ani-
mated holiday tale Arthur Christmas all
opening Wednesday for the busy
Thanksgiving weekend.
The newcomers, combined with Breaking
Dawn, could lift Hollywood above the
Thanksgiving record set in 2009, when New
Moon paced the industry to a $273 million
domestic haul from Wednesday to Sunday.
This could be one of the greatest movie-
going weekends ever in the midst of a year
that has really had its ups and downs at the
box ofce, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul
Dergarabedian.

explained. [I thought,] I can do it too,
and I will do it better.
Last week, Enriquez, a 48-year-old
professor of engineering and mathemat-
ics at Caada College in Redwood City,
may have truly lived up to that. He was
one of nine individuals announced as
recipients of the Presidential Award for
Excellence in Science, Mathematics and
Engineering Mentoring. The award will
be presented to Enriquez at the White
House later this year.
Im still in shock. It seems surreal, but
Ill take it, he said, crediting the award to
the letters of support written by his stu-
dents.
It makes sense students would support
Enriquez. He got into teaching for a novel
reason to teach. Enriquez studied
engineering at the University of the
Philippines and worked for a big compa-
ny for six months before quitting to start
a business with three friends. At the same
time, Enriquez began teaching at his alma
mater a position he held for just over
three years before moving to the United
States for graduate school. After earning a
masters degree in geodetic science at the
Ohio State, Enriquez applied to a doctor-
ate program in mechanical engineering at
the University of California, Irvine.
Enriquez had tired of explaining the
meaning of geodetic, the science of
measurement and representation of the
earth, including its gravitational eld.
After earning his doctorate, Enriquez
began looking for teaching jobs. He was
unaware of the California Community
College system but was attracted to a job
at Caada College since many of the larg-
er institutions required professors to
secure grants for, and to conduct,
research. Enriquez simply wanted to
teach.
My focus is teaching but I get a lot of
money but its mostly for helping stu-
dents succeed. Its not research. Im never
going to get a Nobel Prize in science, he
said.
After 17 years at Caada, Enriquez has
stayed true to his goal of helping students.
One of the rst grants he was awarded
came in the early 90s when Enriquez
wanted to expand the MESA,
Mathematics Engineering Science
Achievement, program. For Enriquez, its
about access and creating opportunities
for all students.
Amelito Enriquez is one of the nest
examples of excellence in teaching this
country has to offer, said Jim Keller,
interim president at Caada College. His
passion and commitment to the advance-
ment of student success is consistently
demonstrated by the achievement of stu-
dents he serves. He elevates not only the
performance of the students but of the
colleagues who have the pleasure and for-
tune to work with him.
In the last three years, Enriquez has
attracted more than $10 million in state
and federal grants to Caada. Hes devel-
oped a series of programs to help minori-
ty students achieve success in science,
technology, engineering and math.
Enriquez established an intensive sum-
mer math program aimed at helping stu-
dents improve their math test scores; hes
established a Summer Engineering
Institute for underrepresented students;
hes partnered with the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration to
establish an internship program for stu-
dents; and hes partnered with San Mateo
County to help veterans transition from
the military into engineering careers.
And Enriquez still has more ideas to
implement. He noted four-year schools
are becoming more specialized in engi-
neering elds making it more difcult to
provide the needed prerequisite classes.
He would like to nd a way to continue
offering general engineering for students
to introduce them to the eld.
Its this kind of work that led others to
nominate Enriquez for the presidential
honor, which comes with a $25,000
award from the National Science
Foundation to advance mentoring efforts.
Even before learning he won, Enriquez
was grateful for the process which result-
ed in students writing unsolicited letters
of support.
Just getting the opportunity to hear
what the students had to say about me
was more than enough. Probably when I
get older, Ill still look at those letters, he
said, adding often as a teacher you dont
get to see your impact. Just having these
letters, even if I [didnt] win, its more
than what I can ask for. But of course I
won, so Ill take it.

PROF.
San Carlos participation doesnt
change the countys obligation. By not
agreeing, the county would still pay the
same amount, said Dave Bailey, CEO of
SAMCERA
As part of its move to make San Carlos
whole, the board also agreed the Sheriffs
Ofce could extend the same offer to the
other jurisdictions with which it contracts
now or may contract with such as Half
Moon Bay and Millbrae. As such, Pine
first wanted more information about
exactly how much San Carlos is saving
from the shared services agreement and
exactly how many employees are being
funded. Before making any commitment,
he wanted to know if the double payment
of retirement is an inherent problem of
shared services.
Horsley, too, asked for a delay in voting
and suggested taking the money out of
the Sheriffs Ofce reserves rather than
the general fund.
Although Millbrae was scheduled later
that night to consider its own agreement
with the Sheriffs Ofce, Pine said the
board should not vote until it had all the
information possible because of the
implications.
I dont think theres any harm in tak-
ing that time, he said.
But Supervisor Adrienne Tissier was
ready to move, arguing that it doesnt
seem appropriate for a city to pay twice
and that there was no reason not to go
forward. Munks and the remaining board
members also werent swayed by the
request to wait, saying that while here is
no urgency there is also no compelling
reason not to move forward. Supervisor
Rose Jacobs Gibson also added that the
board can make amendments at a later
date.
The city of San Carlos isnt trying to
shirk paying its fair share and has been
thrilled with the arrangement, said
Councilman Randy Royce.
Realizing the wrinkle, the city crafted a
similar agreement with Redwood City for
shared re service in a way that avoids
either paying twice, said San Carlos City
Manager Jeff Maltbie.
The San Carlos Police Department
joined the Sheriffs Ofce just over one
year ago and a stand-alone re depart-
ment emerged in October of this year
after breaking up the Belmont-San Carlos
Fire Department joint powers authority.
Both were cost-saving moves by the city
and, while both heralded and derided, the
novel approach was soon emulated by
others like Half Moon Bay. Millbrae is
the latest city set to hand over its policing
services to the Sheriffs Office. The
police contract saves San Carlos an esti-
mated $2 million annually.
At the Millbrae council meeting that
night, ofcials were able to tweak that
citys estimated savings because of the
boards vote. Under its original contract
proposal, the city was looking at saving at
least $1.1 million but the board decision
added more than $500,000 by freeing it
from the overlapping future retirement
costs.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Even if you have a full
schedule planned, try to fnd a bit of time to enjoy
a momentarily pleasurable pursuit. The relief would
give you the energy to happily continue onward.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Try not to get yourself
involved in a project that once started demands to
be fnished. If you do, make sure your entire day is
cleared to do nothing else.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you learn that some
information you have at your disposal would be of
tremendous help to another, do your best to get it to
that person. Chances are youd make a friend for life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Being prudent is likely to
ensure that youll be able to enjoy success and the
fner things down the line. When that time comes,
youll be glad of your sensible behavior.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Once you make an
important, carefully considered decision, have the
courage of your convictions to stand by your resolu-
tion. Being wishy-washy wont help anyone.

Aside from the day of the week their sur-
geries are scheduled, patients are treated no
differently, she said.
The difference in patients, though, is
often immediate.
Many patients have needed care for
months or years but didnt know Operation
Access was available. During the last quar-
ters surgery day, Mann remembers a large
Samoan man who had been in pain for a
very long time from a hernia. Once his sur-
gery was complete, she said youd never
know hed ever gone under the knife
because he was so physically comfortable
from the repair.
Mann said she is delighted to know she
helps people get back to work or be able to
lift a grandchild again.
With just this little gesture they can then
further their quality of life. Maybe they can
get a job they couldnt have before or just
walk without pain, she said.
Although hernias and cataracts are the
majority of surgeries, Mann said bladder
and orthoscopic knee surgeries have also
been performed.
She rarely sees the patients again after the
surgery the after care is arranged and
provided by others on the Operation Access
team and frankly the sheer numbers
blend many together. But she knows the
services are appreciated they often leave
with hugs and said she is grateful, too,
for the chance to give back.
Her longtime mentor and classical Indian
dance teacher often speaks about the need to
contribute to the community. With
Operation Access, Mann said she is follow-
ing through.
Her love of Indian dance even helps out a
bit.
Manns role in preparing the patients for
surgery is a combination of paperwork and
nerve-soothing. She and other staff turn on
Indian television programs and tease the
patients about wanting them to learn how to
dance. Some have never had surgery before
and are anxious, she said.
We try to keep it very light and easy, she
said.
Mann is now the one encouraging others
to sign up for Operation Access, watching
staff say as she once did that they
might be able to volunteer a few hours and
eventually making a full commitment.
As for her future, Mann, who has been a
registered nurse since 1995, said shes
hooked both on community service and
Operation Access.
I am here to help and will do it where I
am if I change jobs. No question, she said.
And if she ever lands somewhere that
doesnt offer a similar opportunity? If need
be I might even come back to Redwood City
just to do it, she said.

NURSE
from Fridays incident at UC Davis, saying that
he is appalled at images of students being
doused with pepper spray and plans a far-reach-
ing, urgent assessment of law enforcement pro-
cedures on all campuses.
I implore students who wish to demonstrate
to do so in a peaceful and lawful fashion. I
expect campus authorities to honor that right,
UC President Mark G. Yudof said. All 10 chan-
cellors would convene soon for a discussion
about how to ensure proportional law enforce-
ment response to non-violent protest, he said.
Ofcials at UC Davis refused to identify the
two ofcers who were place on administrative
leave but one was a veteran of many years on
the force and other fairly new to the depart-
ment, the schools Police Chief Annette
Spicuzza told The Associated Press. She would
not elaborate further because of the pending
probe.
Videos posted online of the incident clearly
show one riot-gear clad ofcer dousing the line
of protesters with spray as they sit in a line with
their arms intertwined. Spicuzza told the AP that
the second ofcer was identied during an
intense review of several videos.
We really wanted to be diligent in our
research, and during our viewing of multiple
videos we discovered the second ofcer,
Spicuzza said. This is the right thing to do.
Both ofcers were trained in the use of pep-
per spray as department policy dictates, and
both had been sprayed with it themselves dur-
ing training, the chief noted.
Meanwhile, UC Davis Chancellor Linda
Katehi said she has been inundated with reac-
tion from alumni, students and faculty.
I spoke with students this weekend and I
feel their outrage, Katehi said in a statement
Sunday.
Katehi also set a 30-day deadline for her
schools task force investigating the incident to
issue its report. The task force, comprised of stu-
dents, staff and faculty, will be chosen this week.
She earlier had set a 90-day timetable.
She also plans to meet with demonstrators
Monday at their general assembly, said her
spokeswoman, Claudia Morain.
On Saturday, the UC Davis faculty associa-
tion called for Katehis resignation, saying in a
letter there had been a gross failure of leader-
ship. Katehi has resisted calls for her to quit.
I am deeply saddened that this happened on
our campus, and as chancellor, I take full
responsibility for the incident, Katehi said
Sunday. However, I pledge to take the actions
needed to ensure that this does not happen again.
I feel very sorry for the harm our students were
subjected to and I vow to work tirelessly to make
the campus a more welcoming and safe place.
The incident reverberated well beyond the
university, with condemnations and defenses of
police from elected ofcials and from the wider
public on Facebook and Twitter.
On its face, this is an outrageous action for
police to methodically pepper spray passive
demonstrators who were exercising their right to
peacefully protest at UC Davis, Senate
President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-
Sacramento, said in a statement Sunday.
Chancellor Katehi needs to immediately inves-
tigate, publically explain how this could happen
and ensure that those responsible are held
accountable.
The protest Friday was held in support of the
overall Occupy Wall Street movement and in
solidarity with protesters at the University of
California, Berkeley who were jabbed by police
with batons on Nov. 9.
Nine students hit by pepper spray were treat-
ed at the scene, two were taken to hospitals and
later released, university ofcials said. Ten peo-
ple were arrested.
Meanwhile Sunday, police in San Francisco
arrested six anti-Wall Street protesters and
cleared about 12 tents erected in front of the
Federal Reserve Bank.
Across the bay in Oakland, police made no
arrests after protesters peacefully left a new
encampment set up in deance of city orders.
Oakland police spokeswoman Johnna Watson
said about 20 tents were erected late Saturday
after several hundred protesters tore down a
chain-link fence surrounding a city-owned
vacant lot and set up a new encampment on
Telegraph Avenue.
