uses for the
money, asked

sit on an ad hoc

Don Horsley,
who questioned the ideas necessity.
The Board of Supervisors will
also hold a workshop on the fund
before making any decisions at a
future meeting.

Mike Jarrett plays with his children, Drew and Katie, at home in Burlingame Monday evening.
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was a return home for Mike
Jarrett when he and his wife Sherri
moved to Burlingame about eight
years ago.
Mike Jarrett had grown up in
Burlingame. The couple was
expecting their rst child, Drew,
who is now 6. Drew even has a little
sister now, Katie who will be 5
on Thanksgiving Day. Sherri Jarrett
didnt have California ties but, after
giving up the dream of staying in
San Francisco, began focusing her
efforts on nding a community for
her family
on the
Peninsula.
The couple
had a gen-
eral idea of
where they
wanted to
be, areas
where they
had heard
the schools
were good.
Then it was a matter of nding a
home that t their price range.
At the time, the Jarretts invited
neighbors over and realized few
children lived in their Burlingame
neighborhood on Summit Drive.
Thats changed as their children
approached the age to enter the
Burlingame Elementary School
District. Theyre part of a steady
growth the district has experienced
in recent years. Enrollment has
grown from 2,115 students in 1995
to 2,771 in 2011, according to
KidsData.org. As a result, theres
been a concentrated effort in recent
years to raise money for facilities
and a plan to reopen a previously
closed school, Hoover Elementary

Just more than $2 million in federal grants
allowed South San Francisco to renovate
Fire Station 63 at the Municipal Services
Center.
A dedication for the modernized facility
was held Tuesday morning. Construction
started Nov. 14, 2011. Move-in is scheduled
for next month but the public had the chance
to get a sneak peak before its in action.
The refurbishing has been overdue for
many years, said Mayor Rich Garbarino,
who added fire staff has long dealt with
years of leaks, cold and basically an anti-
quated facility.
Renovation work started more than three
years ago when the South San Francisco Fire
Department was one of 7,500 departments
nationwide to make a bid for American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, said
Capt. Matt Samson. The city was awarded
just more than $2 million to upgrade the
facilities, living quarters and structure itself.
Battalion Chief Chris Campagna
explained the station was first located down
El Camino Real in the 1950s but was relo-
cated to 33 Arroyo Drive in the 80s. The
dark facility was often home to the younger
people in the department, he said. As a
result, Station 63 has had nicknames like the
whine cellar or playpen, Campagna said.
Station 63 is home to one engine and
one paramedic rescue vehicle, which
means five people man the station 24
hours a day, Campagna said.
The paramedic rescue vehicle assigned to
Station 63 is the busiest in the county after
10 p.m., he said.

OAKLAND Custodial and
maintenance workers picketed
Tuesday at one of the nations busiest
ports, blocking trucks from picking
up and delivering goods on what had
been expected to be a busy day before
the holidays.
Ships waited at six of the seven ter-
minals at the Port of Oakland, as
intermittent rain soaked hundreds of
angry workers who carried signs and
blocked entrances during the one-day
protest over stalled contract talks.
Passing motorists blared horns and
supporters pounded drums as strikers
chanted, Shut it down, were a union
town!
Were letting management and the
public know that they cant treat us
like that, said Lynn Riordan, a com-
munications staffer for Service
Employees International Union Local
1021.
Across town, dozens of additional
service union members picketed at
Oakland International Airport after
walking off their jobs late Monday.
Those employees are covered under
the same contract as port workers.
No ights were affected, port
spokesman Isaac Kos-Read said.
By midday, union ofcials said that
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan had
stepped in to bring the parties back to
table to continue contract talks, and
the talks could lead to the port likely
reopening by late evening.
The Port is committed to reaching
a mutual agreeable contract, as soon
as possible, Acting Port Executive
Director Deborah Ale Flint said in a
written statement. This important
step will allow our marine terminals
to reopen for the evening shift, and
make sure our truckers and shippers
can get their goods to market on
time.
SEIU Local 1021 President
Roxanne Sanchez echoed a similar
sentiment.
We are encouraged that the port
has agreed to a path that will quickly
bring us together, Sanchez said. We
hope to reach a resolution as soon as
possible.

County manager John Maltbie is
sticking around a little longer
four years to be exact.
The longtime xture in county
operations is shelving retirement yet
again to make his current interim
contract a more permanent arrange-
ment. The Board of Supervisors
agreed in a closed session Tuesday
to appoint Maltbie as a full-time
employee, keeping in place the man
who held the job more than two
decades before retiring and later
returned after his replacement part-
ed ways with the county brass over
philosophical differences.
The extension gives Maltbie, 65,
more time to nish whittling away
at the structural decit, devising
how to spend millions in new sales
tax revenue and evaluating a possi-
ble overhaul of county govern-
ments current organization.
The board will now negotiate a
contract with Maltbie to begin Dec.
23 and is expected to take a nal
vote at its Dec. 11 meeting, said
c o u n t y
s p o k e s m a n
M a r s h a l l
Wilson.
Maltbie must
suspend his
retirement to
accept the posi-
tion because he
cannot simulta-
neously collect
his salary and $133,000 pension.
Under the previous interim contract,
Maltbie was limited to work 960
hours in a scal year at $100 hourly,
or $192,000 annually. He did not
receive vacation, holiday or manda-
tory time off or sick leave. He also
waived all other retirement and
health benets.
Maltbie and board President
Adrienne Tissier could not be
reached for comment on the new
arrangement but Supervisor Carole
Groom said the board approached
him about the possibility of staying.
We just thought since hes joined
us again hes sort of straightened
out some things and started a num-
ber of things. Weve got some excit-
ing work ahead of us and I think he
wanted to nish that, Groom said.
Maltbie retired in 2008 after
grooming David Boesch as his suc-
cessor. When Boesch resigned three
years later, the county named
Maltbie to ll in while they found a
permanent replacement. In
February, the board agreed to post-
pone the search until 2013 but, after
yesterdays decision, now have an
extra four years
Recruitment, when nally under
way, is estimated to take up to a
year. Groom said the county will
start the process in the third or
fourth year of Maltbies contract.
Maltbies tenure with the county
began in March 1989 after a varied
career in public administration.
After coming to San Mateo County,
Maltbie become known for imple-
menting performance-based budget-
ing and overseeing capital projects
like the jail, the $125 million Youth
Services Center and the rebuild of
the San Mateo Medical Center. He
frequently cautioned the county that
past practices of subsidizing the
public hospital and indigent care
could not continue and created a
ve-year plan to end the growing
structural decit.
Since his return two weeks after
Boeschs November 2011 resigna-
tion, Maltbie has continued pushing
innovation and creativity in county
government. He lobbied for the pas-
sage of several county sales taxes,
including the half-cent Measure A
which just succeeded, and in
September unveiled plans to shake
up the county organization. Maltbie

County manager to stick around another four years
John Maltbie
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON No prescrip-
tion or doctors exam needed: The
nations largest group of obstetri-
cians and gynecologists says birth
control pills should be sold over the
counter, like condoms.
Tuesdays surprise opinion from
these gatekeepers of contraception
could boost longtime efforts by
womens advocates to make the pill
more accessible.
But no one expects the pill to be
sold without a prescription any time
soon: A company would have to
seek government permission rst,
and its not clear if any are consider-
ing it. Plus there are big questions
about what such a move would
mean for many womens wallets if it
were no longer covered by insur-
ance.
Still, momentum may be building.
Already, anyone 17 or older does-
nt need to see a doctor before buy-
ing the morning-after pill a high-
er-dose version of regular birth con-
trol that can prevent pregnancy if
taken shortly after unprotected sex.
Earlier this year, the Food and Drug
Administration held a meeting to
gather ideas about how to sell regu-
lar oral contraceptives without a pre-
scription, too.
Now the influential American
College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists is declaring its safe
to sell the pill that way.
Wait, why would doctors who
make money from womens yearly
visits for a birth-control prescription
advocate giving that up?
Half of the nations pregnancies
every year are unintended, a rate that
hasnt changed in 20 years and
easier access to birth control pills
could help, said Dr. Kavita Nanda,
an OB/GYN who co-authored the
opinion for the doctors group.
Its unfortunate that in this
country where we have all these
contraceptive methods available,
unintended pregnancy is still a
major public health problem, said
Nanda, a scientist with the North
Carolina nonprot FHI 360, for-
merly known as Family Health
International.

Man arrested for defrauding elderly
A Saratoga man is in custody after
defrauding elderly people of hundreds of
thousands of dollars after
gaining their confidence
by posing as a tax
accountant and financial
advisor, completing a six-
month investigation by
San Mateo police into the
complex financial
scheme, police reported
yesterday.
Lewis E. Lee, 71, is
alleged to have targeted the elderly by offer-
ing and providing legitimate tax preparation
and other financial services though he does
not hold a tax, accounting or business
license, according to police.
Police describe him as charismatic,
friendly, charming, generous and very
knowledgeable on financial matters. A
majority of the elderly victims were
referred to him by friends or family, accord-
ing to police.
He created the Lewis E. Lee Company,
opened a retail office and created a website
to promote, the illusion of his credentials
and credibility, according to police. He
would prepare potential victims taxes for a
few years while befriending them, eventual-
ly enticing them to invest a substantial
amount of money for the purchase of stock
options or in an investment club, according
to police.
The fraud was against numerous victims
and search warrants were served on his busi-
ness and residence in September, according
to police.
He is out of custody on $100,000 bail,
according to police.
Anyone with information on current
investigations or ongoing crime trends is
encouraged to contact the San Mateo Police
Department at 522-7650.
Two separate water
mains break yesterday morning
Two separate water mains broke Tuesday
morning in Redwood City, flooding two
homes and damaging an intersection, a city
water department supervisor said.
The first rupture was reported when an 8-
inch water main broke beneath the intersec-
tion of Brewster Avenue and Warren Street
at about 2:40 a.m., said Xavier Mercado,
acting public works supervisor for water.
Water flowed into the basements of two
homes, which were evacuated, Mercado
said.
Redwood City firefighters responded and
pumped out the water and residents were
able to return to their homes within a couple
of hours, he said.
A second rupture on a different 8-inch
pipeline was detected in a residential neigh-
borhood near Allerton and Standish streets
at about 6:15 a.m., Mercado said.
No property was damaged and no evacua-
tions were necessary, he said.
The intersection of Brewster Avenue and
Warren Street remained closed as of 10 a.m.
while public works crews made repairs to
the pipe and to a portion of road that was
damaged, Mercado said.
Water service to the area was slowed but
not cut off. A preliminary investigation indi-
cated that the two ruptures, located about
five blocks apart, did not appear to be relat-
ed, Mercado said.
Small earthquakes and changes in weather
can often cause the soil around pipes to shift
or become unstable, he said.
Caltrain delayed after
early-morning fatality on tracks
Caltrain service was delayed yesterday
morning after a train fatally struck a man on
the tracks at the Charleston Avenue crossing
in Palo Alto at 5:35 a.m., Caltrain spokes-
woman Christine Dunn said.
A preliminary investigation indicated that
the incident was a suicide, Dunn said.
No injuries were reported among the 55
passengers aboard the train who were later
transferred to another train at East Meadow
Drive.
Trains were single-tracked through Palo
Alto at around 10 mph until 8:40 a.m., caus-
ing system-wide delays of up to an hour and
a half during the morning commute, Dunn
said.
The fatality is the 11th on the Caltrain
right of way so far in 2012, five of which
have been determined to be suicides, Dunn
said.
There were 16 Caltrain-related fatalities in
2011.
Police search for armed robber
Police are searching for a suspect in con-
nection with an armed robbery Sunday night
in San Mateo.
The armed robbery occurred at about 8:20
p.m. Sunday at the 76 gas station in the 400
block of 19th Avenue, police said.
The suspect was described as a white man
in his 30s wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt,
jeans and carrying an umbrella.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
County supervisors yesterday imposed an
emergency set of zoning guidelines to regu-
late a North Fair Oaks catering company that
has rankled neighbors who say its success
has crimped their quality of life because of
its noise, odors and employees who park on
residential streets.
The 45-day urgency ordinance gives coun-
ty staff time to continue studying the issues
and the teeth to enforce the restrictions if
necessary, said Community Development
Director Jim Eggemeyer.
Eggemeyer also gave the Board of
Supervisors a heads up yesterday that in
December he already plans to seek a 10-
month, 15-day extension of the ordinance
specific to the parcel at 3821 Fair Oaks Ave.
housing Bay Area Catering and Events since
2011. The company complied with county
regulations for appropriate use when first
applying for permits in January 2011 but its
growth brought complaints about its lime-
green trucks and building, the early and late
hours of operation and other possible risks to
the neighborhood, Eggemeyer said.
With the success and according to the
neighbors it has negatively impacted the
community, Eggemeyer said.
No representatives from Bay Area
Catering and Events attended Tuesdays
Board of Supervisors hearing on the
urgency ordinance.
But property owner Jaime Gonzalez told
the board it should not amend the zoning
based on neighbor complaints rather than
actual studies of noise, pollutants or other
environmental impacts.
There are tons of complaints. None of
them have any validity, Gonzalez said at
Tuesdays meeting.
Gonzalez said neighbors knew they were
moving near a commercial property with the
risk of noise and other possible irritants.
However, he also said hes willing to work
with the community and emphasized that the
catering company is not deliberately trying
to skirt any issues.
I understand the codes are very vague but
everyone went into this with great inten-
tions, Gonzalez said.
But neighbors who also spoke urged the
board to act, citing workers who loiter on
breaks outside, trucks that speed down nar-
row streets and garbage.
The performance standards immediately
put in place copy those already required of
businesses in other portions of North Fair
Oaks to limit noise, odor, vibration, loiter-
ing, lighting and trash enclosures,
Eggemeyer said.
Operating hours will be from 6 a.m. to 8
p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on
weekends. Exterior noise is prohibited at
other times and odors and pollutants cant
extend beyond the sites limits.
Eggemeyer said he, Deputy County
Manager Peggy Jensen and mediators from
the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center
met with the business owners to try volun-
tarily easing the neighborhood concerns but
that implementing standards on commercial
activities is required.
The business did make some changes such
as painting the building a more neutral color
and asking employees to park at the Atherton
train station for shuttling to the site,
Eggemeyer said.
The company also plans to move its pri-
mary operation to Redwood City but the
shift will take a minimum of four to six
months for the building and planning
process, he said.
Supervisor Don Horsley, who represents
the district where the company will relocate,
said it has learned its lesson and is now
doing a lot of outreach to Redwood City
neighbors.
But if big lime green trucks are in
Emerald Hills, Redwood City is going to
hear the same problems, Horsley said.
If the board agrees to the suggested exten-
sion, it can also add one extra year. Each
extension requires a four-fifths vote.

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco
lawmakers disappointed committed nud-
ists on Tuesday by narrowly approving a
ban on public nakedness despite con-
cerns the measure would undermine the
citys reputation as a sanctuary for free
expression.
The Board of Supervisors voted 6-5 in
favor of a public safety ordinance that
prohibits exposed genitals in most public
places, including streets, sidewalks and
public transit. The law still must pass a
nal vote and secure Mayor Edwin Lees
signature to take effect early next year.
Supervisor Scott Wiener introduced
the ban in response to escalating com-
plaints about a group of men whose bare
bodies are on display almost daily in the
citys predominantly gay Castro District.
The Castro, and San Francisco in gen-
eral, is a place of freedom, expression
and acceptance. But freedom, expression
and acceptance does not mean anything
goes under any circumstances, Wiener
said Tuesday. Our public spaces are for
everyone, and as a result its appropriate
to have some minimal standards of
behavior.
Weiners opponents on the board said a
citywide ban was unnecessary and would
draw police ofcers attention away from
bigger problems while undermining San
Francisco values like tolerance and
appreciation for the offbeat.
Im concerned about civil liberties,
about free speech, about changing San
Franciscos style and how we are as a
city, Supervisor John Avalos said. I
cannot and will not bite this apple and I
refuse to put on this g leaf.
To make his point, Avalos showed his
colleagues a clip from the 1970 movie
version of Joseph Hellers Catch-22. In
it, Orson Welles pins a medal on a naked
soldier.
I get emails all the time about people
who are upset there are homeless people,
and I would be the last person to legislate
a solution for people who do not want
homeless people in their neighborhood,
Supervisor Christina Olague said.
Wiener countered that it was inappro-
priate for hard-core nudists to wrap
themselves in the mantle of personal lib-
erty.
I dont agree that having yellow hair
is the same as exposing your penis at a
busy street corner for hours and hours for
everybody to watch as they go by, he
said.

U.S., Mexico sign rules on sharing Colorado River
CORONADO The United States and Mexico agreed
Tuesday to rewrite rules on sharing water from the Colorado
River, capping a ve-year effort to create a united front against
future droughts.
The far-reaching agreement signed near San Diego gives
Mexico badly needed storage capacity by granting rights to
put some of its river water in Lake Mead, which stretches
across Nevada and Arizona.
Mexico will forfeit some of its share of the river during
shortages, bringing itself in line with western U.S. states that
already have agreed how much they will surrender in years
when waters recede.
Water agencies in California, Arizona and Nevada also will
buy water from Mexico, which will use some of the money to
upgrade its infrastructure.
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar called the agreement the
most important international accord on the Colorado River
since a 1944 treaty. We have chosen cooperation and consen-
sus over discord, he said.
Woman gets 80 years for deadly Texas day care fire
HOUSTON It had been Jessica Tatas dream to run a day
care.
She was soon in over her head, caring for too many kids and
taking chances by leaving them alone to run errands. The
young womans actions ultimately proved fatal: Four children
died and three others were injured when a re broke out at her
home day care after she had left them alone to go shopping at
a nearby Target.
On Tuesday, jurors sentenced the 24-year-old woman to 80
years in prison for the death of one of the children, 16-month-
old Elias Castillo. She still faces charges related to the rest of
the children.
Around the nation

LOS ANGELES Three California
men excited at the prospect of training in
Afghanistan to become terrorists pre-
pared, authorities say, by simulating
combat with paintball ries, wiping their
Facebook proles of any Islamic refer-
ences and concocting cover stories.
Just two days before they were going
to board a plane bound for Istanbul
and then onto Afghanistan FBI agents
thwarted plans that ofcials said included
killing Americans and bombing U.S. mil-
itary bases overseas.
The arrests last week in the U.S. and of
the man said to be the ringleader, 34-
year-old American Sohiel Omar Kabir, in
Afghanistan was laid out in a 77-page
afdavit, which included references to
the groups online video conversations
and audio recordings.
While authorities dont believe there
were any plans for an attack in the U.S.,
Kabir had intended to go on a suicide
mission earlier this month but got sick,
according to the court documents
unsealed in federal court Monday.
Kabir indicated he would wait for the
group, which included a condential FBI
informant, before staging an attack,
according to the afdavit.
Along with Kabir, Ralph Deleon,
Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales and
Arifeen David Gojali are facing charges
of providing material support to terror-
ists. The charges can carry a maximum
15-year prison sentence.
Defense attorneys did not immediately
returned calls for comment.
Federal investigators said Kabir intro-
duced Deleon and Vidriales to the radical
Islamist doctrine of the U.S.-born
extremist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who
was killed last year in an American
airstrike in Yemen.
Kabir, a naturalized U.S. citizen from
Afghanistan, served in the Air Force
from 2000 to 2001, helping to prepare
forces for deployment. He was adminis-
tratively separated for unknown reasons
and was given an honorable discharge,
the military said.
According to the court documents,
Deleon said meeting Kabir was like
encountering someone from the camps
run by al-Awlaki or Osama bin Laden,
who was killed in a U.S. raid last year on
his compound in Pakistan.
Kabir was basically a mujahid walk-
ing the streets of LA, Deleon said, using
the term for holy warrior, according to
court documents. He was just waiting to
get his papers. And I met him at the point
of his life where he was about to go.

CITY GOVERNMENT
The Redwood City Council approved an 11-page proposed set of
policy guidelines governing communication and public participation
including meeting behavior and how to use electronic media, city let-
terhead and titles on candidate endorsements and ballot measures.
The guidelines include prohibiting potentially disruptive conduct,
like clapping and hissing, ending meetings no later than 11 p.m. with-
out a 5/7th vote and banning sitting on the oor or standing anywhere
other than the back of the room. Once the public comment period begins, no additional
speaker cards will be collected and no extra speakers will be allowed at the podium.
Regardless of the number of speakers, the public comment period will be only 15 minutes
and action items will receive 30 minutes. Appeals and public hearings will receive 60 min-
utes per item and if there are more than 20 speakers they may receive less than three min-
utes each.

Ah, Thanksgiving. A little turkey, some
cranberry mold, maybe apple pie with ice
cream, some football on TV. Getting together
with the cousins. Catching up beside the re.
Togetherness.
On second thought: Scratch that. What were
we thinking? This was an election year.
The Thanksgiving table will be a battle-
ground, says Andrew Marshall, 34, of
Quincy, Mass.
Like many extended families across the
country, Marshalls includes Democrats and
Republicans, conservatives, liberals and inde-
pendents. And so, like many families that
count both red and blue voters in their ranks,
theyre expecting fireworks. Things had
already gotten so bad on Facebook, the family
had to ban political banter.
It was getting brutal, says Marshall.
And now, it will all play out in person. In
this family, the older generation is more liber-
al, the younger more conservative. So Andrew,
a conservative, particularly expects friction
with his aunt, Anne Brennan, 57. She rmly
believes in what she believes in, and well go
head to head with it, he says.
As for Brennan, shes looking on the bright
side: the wine theyll drink. You always bring
a good bottle, she told Andrew at a family
dinner a few days ago perhaps softening
him up for the holiday. No dice. What are you
talking about? Andrew replied. The wine
just amplies it.
But the Marshalls seem to be relishing the
occasion. Not so the Davidson family in
Alabama.
In fact, things have gotten so tense over pol-
itics between Brian Davidson, a 40-year-old
attorney in Helena, and his father, 130 miles
away in Russellville, that theyve changed
plans, forgoing their usual gathering.
Were not even going, says Brian, who
voted for Barack Obama, and describes his
father as a little to the right of Glenn Beck.
Better to skip this one, he says, than suffer a
non-recoverable blowup.
Davidson, a Boy Scout leader and the father
of two school-age sons, once was rmly con-
servative, even serving as an ofcer in the
Young Republicans Club at the University of
North Alabama. His parents particularly
Dad always taught him and his brother to
think for themselves, he says.
And so he did. Davidson eventually realized
he no longer t in with the Republican Party,
which he saw as moving rightward, and now
considers himself a political moderate with
liberal positions on issues like gay marriage
and the legalization of marijuana he sup-
ports both and conservative positions on
foreign and scal policies.
Each Thanksgiving, Davidson typically
loads up his family and makes the 130-mile
drive to his parents house. This year,
Davidson will take the kids to wife Kims fam-
ily instead, but even that could be tricky: They
are conservative as well. So Brian and Kim
will try to avoid any topics that could lead,
they say, to an Obama rant around the table.
Anything can cause it, Brian says. Were
just going to suck it up.
For some families, its not necessarily the
presidential race that divided them. The Cox
family in Colorado has long been split over the
legalization of marijuana ever since Diane
Cox rst caught her son, David, trying to
smoke the drug when he was 14.
David, now 31 and a peach farmer in
Palisade, Colo., has volunteered for years on
efforts to legalize marijuana. Diane, mean-
while, has spearheaded several successful
protests to ban medical marijuana dispensaries
in nearby towns even waving BAN THE
POT SHOPS signs on the side of the road.
Colorados recent vote to legalize marijuana
for recreational use again divided mother and
son, who served as regional coordinator for the
legalization campaign. Discussion of the vote
is likely at the family Thanksgiving, but David
Cox doesnt seem TOO worried. I dont think
awkwards the proper term. The proper term is
more, dissentious, he says with a chuckle.
After all, Cox says, some things are more
important than politics. They can see that Im
a successful, hardworking person, he says of
his parents, so they have absolutely nothing
to say because Im doing fantastic and they
know it.
In Minnesota, the issue dividing Jake
Loeschs family isnt marijuana but gay mar-
riage. Voters defeated a proposed amendment
that would have banned same-sex marriage in
the state, and Loesch, 24, of St. Paul, was
deputy communications director for
Minnesotans United for All Families a
group that fought the gay marriage ban. (It
remains illegal under state law.)
Loesch is a conservative, like his huge fam-
ily. He had difcult conversations with some
aunts, uncles and grandparents when he took
his recent job, and as the political season
heated up, he tried increasingly to avoid the
subject: Having those conversations is
healthy for the political process, but some-
times, when its with family, it can be really,
really hard.
But he found common ground with his
grandmother, who is 85. She disagreed with
his stance, but after the election, she posted on
his Facebook wall: Congratulations, Jake
even tho I didnt agree with your stance on the
issue I will have to say you really put your
heart and soul into your convictions and I
must say Im proud of you!!!
Our family is very understanding of every-
bodys opinions, says Jakes grandmother,
Bunny Arseneau. We know where everybody
stands because were a very open family. Your
opinion is your opinion and we respect you for
it.
Turkey, pie and politics? T-Day family friction
Having those conversations is healthy for the political process,
but sometimes, when its with family, it can be really, really hard.

OPINION 9
Destructive taxes
Editor,
I am writing in response to the sad
fact that California government agen-
cies are now extorting millions of dol-
lars from productive businesses in new
carbon taxes (California sells out of
rst pollution permits in the Nov. 20
edition of the Daily Journal). This is a
job-destroying and unscientically-
based decision. Where will these mil-
lions of business dollars go now that
they are in the hands of greedy, anti-
business bureaucrats? The U.S. econo-
my is still in a depression and the trade
decit keeps climbing to record levels.
Why in the middle of an economic
meltdown would this be allowed to
happen? According to Englands Met
Ofce, there has not been any, I repeat,
any global warming in the last 16
years. God help the scientically illiter-
ate Californians.

Guest perspective
Editor,
Does the Daily Journal have no edi-
torial standards for the privilege of hav-
ing a regular guest perspective column?
I was deeply offended by Dwight L.
Schwab Jr.s almost substance-free rant
in the Nov. 17 edition of the paper.
For starters, I, and most other Obama
voters I know are not greedy and self-
serving. I have worked hard and con-
tributed signicantly to my community
for my whole adult life and have never
looked for anything except what I
earned. So that little bit of substance is
denitely wrong. The only other sub-
stantive statement having to do with
Mitt Romney is also arguably wrong.
Far from being a decent, knowledge-
able, God-fearing man, the Republican
nominee proved himself to be a verita-
ble charlatan, having no honest princi-
ples upon which he had the courage to
stand. Yes, Mr Schwab, God help us all
had he been elected.
Although it is desirable to have a
forum to debate strongly held opinions
on critical issues, denigrating people
with hate speech and impugning the
others motives is not helpful for hav-
ing dialogue to arrive at compromise
and mutually benecial solutions to the
nations problems. In my opinion, Mr.
Schwabs article is a most inappropriate
contribution to a free press.

Ding Dong dilemma

With the increasing health problems
facing our nation, should we be mourn-

Take it easy
Editor,
First of all, if the Jewish people need
a homeland, they should talk to the
Germans and the Europeans who com-
mitted the atrocities against them and
should have offered a part of their own
land. Secondly, if the Palestinians have
a problem with the Jews they should go
knocking on Britains door. Being that
it was Britains home secretary David
Balfour (Balfour Declaration), who
wrote the declaration of independence
for Israel to the, United Nations in
1948. The Israelis and America call
Hamas a terror group. I am sure though
that more people have died of heart
attacks in the last year than they have
from Hamas rockets. Israels own
actions prove that they have by far
more lethal weapons, and capability to
enforce extreme terror. In the words of
the Israeli government, We will not
relent until they come to us on their
knees begging for a surrender.

Letters to the editor
R
eady-made families.
Prepackaged families. New
suburbanites. Call them what
you will but they have an impact on our
local schools. It is a tale of success for
many districts. San Mateo County
schools have a reputation for high-qual-
ity schools, teachers, parents, school
communities and administrators. So it
is worthy of note that many people
already with children would choose to
anchor themselves to this community
when it comes time for a K-12 educa-
tion.
The stories are often anecdotal.
Young San Franciscans go to the city
for culture or a career, get married,
have kids and realize that San Francisco
schools may not be for them. Another
story goes that a young couple moves
to the area for work and tries to nd a
city that has the right type of school
community. Or people originally from
the area return to raise their kids
either in their own home or that of their
parents. That means districts such as
Belmont-Redwood Shores, San Carlos
and Burlingame elementary are seeing
an increase of students, and a lack of
space to educate them. Response has
varied, whether it be through new
school construction in Redwood
Shores, or the recent passage of bonds
in San Carlos and Burlingame.
As reporter Heather Murtagh is out-
lining in her series Stress of Success
this week, the impact is real and the
reasons are myriad. New jobs in the
Bay Area also attract professionals with
school-age children, rather than the dot-
com boom more than a decade ago
which drew singles. However, many of
those singles drawn by the initial boom
did stay in the area and are now starting
families. And the quality of schools and
high test scores create a natural attrac-
tion locally. You can see future students
in certain San Mateo County communi-
ties simply by counting the strollers in
the shopping districts.
Though individual districts are plan-
ning the best they can for the future, the
inux of new students and their fami-
lies is creating a real conundrum when
it comes to ensuring space to educate
all. The new families are usually
involved and interested in helping out
in whatever way they can. However,
this bubble will soon make its way to
the local high school districts who
sometimes also struggle with space.
See the series nale Thursday for more
on that.
One benet to these new families is
that they are usually involved, yet some
see a lack of urgency in others at public
meetings when districts are contending
with very real budget troubles. And this
is exacerbated by a state with two
school funding mechanisms that vary
widely. Recent state cuts have moved
some districts like Belmont-Redwood
Shores into basic aid in which property
taxes is the primary source of education
funding rather than revenue limit in
which districts get per-pupil funding.
None of these districts are crying poor,
but there is a reality to their success.
And that means that growth is a cer-
tainty for years to come in a state with
a cobbled-together nance system. How
to contend with it is also a serious mat-
ter, and one that takes an entire com-
munity and state to address.
The Stress of Success
Gratitude?
T
o have a firm sense of our identity, we must
allow for a pause, or a respite, when we can
reflect or contemplate not only what we want
from life, but who we are. When we dont make reflection
a priority, we dont have a well-defined identity. Instead of
feeling whole, we are fragmented. Melvyn Kinder,
Going Nowhere Fast.
Thanksgiving is the one
holiday that doesnt require
gift giving, costumes, fire-
works or some kind of
parade. Traditionally, its a
time to get family and friends
together and strengthen ties
over a sumptuous dinner and,
hopefully, review in our
minds (or even aloud) what
we are grateful for a spe-
cial kind of reflection.
In 1993, I wrote a column
about gratitude and listed
many reasons to be thankful.
Well, almost 20 years later, things have changed consider-
ably in several ways. Though Im so much older and
unable to carry on physically like I could then (no more
bike riding along the Bay trails, no more hanging clothes
outside in the sun and fresh air, no more serious gardening,
even walking comfortably for even short distances). But
Ive come up with a list and you can, too. Its a good
way to divert our attention away from all of the negative
things that tend to depress us to those things that, if we
devote some time to appreciating, can add to satisfaction
even happiness.
Today Im thankful for:
1). The area where we live the Bay, the hills, the fall
colors that have been so beautiful this year.
2). Our kids and their families who are doing their own
things well and how we enjoy their company greatly.
3). The end of the election process and most of the
results.
4). My two steadfast friends who join me in a game of
Scrabble or Upwords on a regular basis.
5). Such people as Mozart, Rossini, Joseph Campbell,
Erich Fromm and, with us today, those such as Bill
Moyers, Maya Angelou and Gordon Livingston who wrote
in his wonderful little book, Too Soon Old, Too Late
Smart: Feelings of love or the lack of it are noticeable in
all of the mundane ways we show that someone matters to
us, especially in the amount and quality of time we are
willing to give them.
6). People with enough intelligence and common sense
who have kept the world from being even crazier than it is.
7). The fact that womens place in society has changed
for the better since I was young.
8). This computer I use for typing my columns, sending
emails, looking things up in Google, etc. (Im continually
amazed by its magic.) What a huge change for the better
from the electric typewriter I used in 1993!
9). The fact that after something like 650 columns span-
ning over 28 years, I am still finding things to write about.
10). The friends Ive found on the Internet who have
responded to my columns.
11). The view from the family room when I lounge in my
Lazy-Boy and watch the four beautiful Berman feral cats
(all neutered) that we feed, listen to the birds chirp, squawk
and sing and often help themselves to the cats food, and
the cute squirrel that has been very busy burying acorns in
our planter boxes.
12). The many beautiful memories we have (on film,
framed on the walls and in our minds, of cruises and far-
away places.
13). The helpful and patient employees at Books Inc. in
Burlingame where I purchase the wonderful, informative
books that I read.
14). My patient husband who has put up with me all these
years and has become adept at many household chores.
15). Jon Mays, our intrepid editor, who publishes my
columns.
What do I thank for all of the above? Basically luck and
serendipity. I could add to the list, but what is important is
that we take time once in a while to count our blessings, to
consider what we have that were grateful for instead of
always, as is so often the case in todays culture, wishing
for more. And, as Albert Schweitzer once wrote: Whatever
you have received more than others in health, in talent,
in ability, in success, in a pleasant childhood, in harmo-
nious conditions of homelife all this you must not take
to yourself as a matter of course. In gratitude for your own
good fortune, you must render in return some sacrifices of
your own life for another life.
Hopefully, this will get you to thinking about many
things that you can be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

NEW YORK Falling oil prices and
a surprise announcement from Hewlett-
Packard weighed on technology and
energy stocks Tuesday.
HP plunged 12 percent after execu-
tives said that a company HP bought for
$10 billion last year lied about its
nances. CEO Meg Whitman said that
there were serious accounting impro-
prieties at the search-engine company,
Autonomy.
To account for it, HP took an $8.8 bil-
lion charge in its latest quarter. HPs
stock lost $1.59 to $11.71.
A warning from the Federal Reserve
chairman, Ben Bernanke, about the dan-
gers of the scal cliff also weighed on
the market in afternoon trading. The
Dow Jones industrial average dropped as
much as 94 points shortly after Bernanke
spoke.
But the stock market crept higher
through the late afternoon and ended the
day at. The Dow dropped 7.45 points to
close at 12,788.51. The Standard &
Poors 500 index gained 0.92 point to
1,387.81.
On Monday, the Dow soared 207
points as investors focused on prospects
for a deal between the White House and
congressional Republicans to avoid the
cliff, tax increases and government
spending cuts set to take effect Jan. 1.
In a speech to the Economic Club of
New York on Tuesday, Bernanke urged
Congress to take action. Asked in a
Q&A session whether the Fed could
limit the economic hit posed by the
budget-tightening measures, Bernanke
said: If the economy goes off the broad
scal cliff, I dont think the Fed has the
tools to offset that.
Many investors expect nancial mar-
kets to turn turbulent when Congress
returns from its Thanksgiving recess and
begins bargaining with the White House
to avoid the scal cliff.
John Linahan, head of T. Rowe Prices
U.S. equity group, said that if those
negotiations stretch into late December,
the stock market could resemble the wild
trading of August 2011, when markets
ipped from big gains one day to steep
losses the next.
Energy stocks and the price of crude
oil fell after the president of Egypt pre-
dicted that Israels weeklong offensive in
the Gaza Strip would end in hours and
the Israeli prime minister said Israel
would be a willing partner to a cease-
re.
Crude oil was down $2.53, or 2.8 per-
cent, to $86.75 per barrel. It traded
above $89 earlier in the day. Energy
stocks in the S&P slipped 0.4 percent as
a group. Tech stocks fared the worst, los-
ing 0.6 percent.

Big movers
By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK Hewlett-Packard Co.
said on Tuesday that its the victim of a
multi-billion dollar fraud at the hands of a
British company it bought last year that
lied about its nances.
HP CEO Meg Whitman said executives
at Autonomy Corporation PLC willful-
ly boosted the companys figures
through various accounting tricks, which
convinced HP to pay $9.7 billion for the
company in October 2011.
Autonomys former CEO said HPs
allegations are false.
HP is now taking an $8.8 billion charge
to align Autonomys purchase price with
what HP now says is its real value. More
than $5 billion of that charge is due to
false accounting, HP said. The revelation
is another blow for HP, which is strug-
gling to reinvent itself as PC and printer
sales shrink. The companys stock hit a
10-year low in morning trading.
Among other things, Autonomy makes
search engines that help companies nd
vital information stored across computer
networks. Acquiring it was part of an
attempt by HP to strengthen its portfolio
of high-value products and services for
corporations and government agencies.
The deal was approved by Whitmans
predecessor, Leo Apotheker, but closed
three weeks into Whitmans tenure as
chief executive. Whitman was a member
of HPs board of directors when
Apotheker initiated the Autonomy pur-
chase.
HP claims fraud prompted $5B overpayment
McAfee blogs about
police seeking him
By Jose Osorio and Mark Stevenson
SAN PEDRO, Belize Software company founder John
McAfee says hes hiding in plain sight, wearing a disguise as he
watches police and reporters stake out his home and blogging
about it all.
In the latest twist in the highly-publicized
case, McAfee has started his own blog, in
which he describes life on the lam after
police in Belize called him a person of
interest in the slaying of fellow American
Gregory Viant Faull and asked him to turn
himself in for questioning.
In phones interviews with the Associated
Press, McAfee has never said where hes
hiding. But in his blog this week, he claims
to have disguised himself as a grungy street peddler and a foul-
mouthed German tourist, and claims he approached an
Associated Press reporter outside his staked-out home on the
Caribbean island of Ambergris Caye, and almost sold the
reporter a wood carving. Its hard to separate fact from ction in
the whole account, but one thing is clear seldom has there
been more detailed coverage of someone on the lam since O.J.
Simpson led police on a low-speed chase in 1994, and much of
that detail is being provided by McAfee himself.
The Internet-savvy former tech-company founder has talked
about his case with reporters via email, on cell phone calls from
undisclosed locations, and now in his blog, Who is McAfee?
The ofcial blog of John McAfee, whose creation he announced
Saturday in an interview with the AP.
Anyone who would like to read the blog and check out the
references, will understand my reluctance to turn myself in, he
said, referring to his distrust of the Belizean government and par-
ticularly its Gang Suppression Unit, a quasi-military police
squad. McAfee also described life on the run as very fearful
and said it has not been comfortable.

RISE OF WEST COAST FOOTBALL: EIGHT OF 12 PAC-12 TEAMS ARE BOWL ELIGIBLE >>> PAGE 13

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It has been a banner year for the Menlo-
Atherton volleyball team in 2012.
Undefeated Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division championship? Check. First-ever
Central Coast Section Division I title? Check.
Northern California championship? State
title?
Those two questions have yet to be
answered but the Bears got off to a great start
in accomplishing even more this season as the
No. 4-seeded Bears swept past No. 5 San
Ramon Valley-Danville 25-23, 25-22, 25-22
in the rst round of the Nor Cal tournament
Tuesday in Atherton.
Well take it as far as we can go. We just
come out and do our thing. We just try to be in
the moment, said M-A coach Ron Whitmill.
We just want to enjoy the ride. I think a lot of
team underestimated us because we had seven
losses.
With the win, the Bears advance to the
semifinals where they will travel to
Sacramento Saturday night at 7 to face top
seed St. Francis, which crushed No. 8
Skyline-Oakland 25-5, 25-9, 25-11.
San Ramon Valley (31-11) nished as run-
ner-up in the North Coast Section nals over
the weekend, losing to East Bay Athletic
League rival California-San Ramon. The
EBAL is one of the top leagues in Northern
California and the Wolves acquitted them-
selves well against the Bears.
We knew they were a great team, said M-
A outside hitter Pauli King, who nished with
nine kills. I think we were worried about
coming out slow. We were focused on not get-
ting caught up in the moment.
M-A (28-7) could not afford a slow start,
not against a quality opponent like San
Ramon Valley. The match was tight through-
out, but the Bears appeared to have a more
varied attack and were tremendous at neutral-
izing the Wolves attacks with an excellent
digging game. San Ramon Valleys Emily
Reder led all hitters with a match-high 18
kills, while Katherine Claybaugh added 12.
M-A did not have any hitters nish with dou-
ble gures, but the Bears had ve players n-
ish with ve kills or more. In addition to

BERKELEY Jeff Tedford made a down-
trodden program relevant as coach at
California, putting out competitive teams for a
decade, developing dozens of NFL players
and spearheading a facilities upgrade.
When he was unable to match his own early
on-eld success in recent years he was red
after 11 years as coach.
Cal red Tedford on Tuesday, ending a
tenure that began with great promise and
ended with a disappointing run of mediocrity
capped by his worst season as coach.
This was a difcult decision made after
considerable thought and analysis and reec-
tion, athletic director Sandy Barbour said.
Jeff Tedford is a good man who has brought
great success and celebration and to his uni-
versity and deserves to occupy a place of
honor in the Cal family. His legacy is unques-
tioned.
Tedford engineered an impressive turn-
around for the Bears after taking over a one-
win team following the 2001 season. He won
a school-record 82 games,
churned out numerous
NFL prospects and was a
major factor in a $321 mil-
lion stadium renovation.
But after winning 10
games twice in his rst
five years and taking a
share of the 2006 confer-
ence title, Tedford was
unable to keep the Bears
near the top of the Pac-12 conference any-
more.
The program bottomed out this season, los-
ing the nal ve games to nish 3-9 for
Tedfords worst season. The Bears lost to rival
Stanford for the third straight season and the
year was capped by the most lopsided losses
of Tedfords career, a 59-17 home loss to
Oregon followed by a season-ending 62-14
loss at Oregon State.
Barbour met with Tedford the previous two
days to discuss the future of the program and
announced her decision Tuesday.
Cal terminates Tedford
By Antonio Gonzalez
STANFORD During the football teams
most recent movie night held before every
game, Stanford coach David Shaw quieted his
players to announce that the
womens basketball team
had beaten top-ranked
Baylor. The room erupted in
excitement, and Shaw
shushed everybody again to
make one more statement.
I said, OK, now its our
turn, Shaw said. It was
just kind of like, OK,
yeah.
The trend started on the Hawaii hardwood,
moved onto the football eld in Eugene and nal-
ly oated all over Twitter, where Stanford players
put the perfect label on an unforgettable weekend:
Revenge of the Nerds.
Tara VanDerveers team
ended Brittney Griner and
the Lady Bears 42-game
winning streak. Shaw and
his players outsmarted No. 1
Oregon 17-14 in overtime
Saturday to complete a dra-
matic double, and Nerd
Nation as athletes across
all sports on this quant
Silicon Valley campus call
themselves enjoyed a
giant I-told-you-so celebration.
The victories went well beyond the Cardinal
getting payback on the programs that ruined each
teams national title hopes last season. Both
showed that success can still be reached well after
Andrew Luck and Nnemkadi Ogwumike the
No. 1 overall draft picks in each sport have left
The Farm.
I think it was special, Shaw said Tuesday.
Stanford doubles down
on upsetting No. 1 teams
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA When the new regime took
over the Oakland Raiders last January, they inher-
ited an 8-8 team that fell one game shy of the play-
offs, featuring an offense that could be prolic at
times and a defense that was historically bad.
Ten games into the rst season under general
manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis
Allen, the offense has taken a decided step back-
ward, the defense has some-
how regressed and the
Raiders (3-6) are nowhere
near being a playoff team.
The situation McKenzie
and Allen entered was not an
easy one despite the presence
of a capable quarterback in
Carson Palmer, a big-play
running back in Darren
McFadden and a handful of
other playmakers on both
sides of the ball.
Late owner Al Davisteam
had fallen into disarray in the
nal years before his death in
October 2011, missing the
playoffs for nine straight sea-
sons and often failing even to
be competitive.
A run of botched draft
picks, over-inated contracts
and questionable personnel
moves left McKenzie with a
major rebuilding job when Davisson, Mark, hired
him to run the football side of the franchise that
had been in Al Daviscontrol for nearly a half-cen-
tury.
I know that we didnt have the talent, at the
beginning of the year, to be a Super Bowl team,
Mark Davis said. I thought that we had denitely
potential to get maybe in the playoffs and beat our
division. Obviously, that hasnt happened.
After years of being run by the famously impa-
tient Al Davis, who ran through seven coaches in
an 11-season span, the biggest change in a year
full of them may be at owner. Mark Davis has del-
egated the football decisions to McKenzie, who
has a job that didnt exist for the franchise until this
year.

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh had an appointment
Tuesday for a follow-up evaluation with doc-
tors after undergoing a minor procedure last
Thursday for an irregular heartbeat.
The 49ers canceled Harbaughs scheduled
media conference call minutes before it was to
begin Tuesday afternoon, a day after San
Franciscos 32-7 victory over the Chicago
Bears, but gave no indication that there is any-
thing of further concern with Harbaughs
health in addition to what he went through last
week. The 49ers released a schedule with
Harbaugh set for his usual Wednesday news
conference.
Harbaugh, the reigning NFL Coach of the
Year who turns 49 next month, was candid
about the cardiovert
or an electrical shocking of
the heart to treat an irregu-
lar heartbeat and restore its
rhythm to a normal pattern
he had done at Stanford
Hospital after being evalu-
ated last Wednesday night.
He has had the condition
for most of his life, he said,
and was told to improve
his diet and cut back on his caffeine intake.
Harbaugh was his typical energetic self on
the sideline Monday night with the NFC West-
leading Niners (7-2-1), who have a quick turn-
around for Sundays game at New Orleans in a
rematch of the NFC divisional playoff game
won in a 36-32 thriller by San Francisco at
Candlestick Park last January.
What was supposed to be an NFC show-
down with the Bears on Monday quickly
turned into a rout, with backup quarterback
Colin Kaepernick leading the way on a night
starter Alex Smith watched from the sideline
recovering from a concussion.
Harbaugh whose team improved to 5-1 in
prime time and 3-0 on Monday Night
Football since he took over before the 2011
season improved his regular-season coach-
ing record to 20-5-1 and became the fastest
active NFL coach to reach 20 victories by
reaching the mark in 26 games.
He could face a tough decision on who to
start under center against the Saints (5-5).
Kaepernick went 16 for 23 for 243 yards,
two touchdowns and an impressive passer rat-
ing of 133.1 in his rst NFL start. The second-
year pro, a second-round draft pick out of
Nevada in 2011, hardly seemed fazed by foot-
balls big stage. He directed scoring drives on
the Niners initial four possessions and com-
pleted 12 of his rst 14 passes with a 57-yard
throw to Kyle Williams that set up Vernon
Davis 3-yard TD on the next play.
Thought Colin did an outstanding job,
Harbaugh said after the game. Poise in the
pocket, pushing the ball and throwing with
accuracy. Did a nice job running the game
plan. Everything he did was exemplary,
again.
Harbaugh said he would go with the hot
hand at quarterback, but acknowledged he
has a pair of hot hands at the moment in Smith
and Kaepernick.
Not that any of his players were about to
start predicting who might get the nod come
Sunday at the raucous Superdome.
Thats up to the coaches, Davis said.
Thats their decision. Ill let them decide and
they always call the shots.

Former boxer Hector Macho
Camacho shot in Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico Former world
boxing champion Hector Macho Camacho
was shot in the face as he sat in a car outside the
Puerto Rican capital Tuesday, and doctors said he
was in serious condition but expected to survive.
Another man in the car, whose relationship to
the 50-year-old Camacho wasnt immediately
known, died in the attack in which at least one
gunman opened re on their vehicle in the city of
Bayamon, according to a statement from police.
Camacho was rushed to Centro Medico, the
trauma center in San Juan, where he was in criti-
cal but stable condition, Dr. Ernesto Torres, the
hospital director, told reporters.
The bullet apparently struck him in the jaw but
exited his head and lodged in his right shoulder
and fractured two vertebrae, Torres said. The
doctor said the boxer, who was trailed by drug
and alcohol problems during a career that includ-
ed some high-prole bouts, could be paralyzed
from the shooting.
Camachos condition is extremely delicate,
he told Telenoticias. His physical condition will
help him but we will see.
No arrests have been made in the shooting,
police said.
Camacho representative Steve Tannenbaum
said he was told by friends at the hospital that the
boxer would make it.
This guy is a cat with nine lives. Hes been
through so much, he said. If anybody can pull
through it will be him.
The ghters last title bout came against then-
welterweight champion Oscar De La Hoya in
1997, a loss by unanimous decision.
Tannenbaum said he was going to ght two years

PHOENIX Just two years ago,
the Pac-12 didnt come close to ll-
ing its bowl allotment, sending four
teams to the postseason.
Two of those teams went to BCS
bowls Oregon played for the
national championship and Stanford
played in the Orange but it wasnt
what the conference was hoping for,
even as a 10-team conference.
In its rst season as the Pac-12, the
conference bounced back, sending
seven teams to bowl games a year
ago.
Its even better this season: eight
bowl-eligible teams, two possibly to
BCS games, an outside shot at the
national title game.
After a season of teams beating up
on each other and some surprising
upsets, the Pac-12 has re-emerged as
a powerhouse conference.
Its just indicative that this confer-
ence is really good and really com-
petitive, and I think has done pretty
well on a national scope, Oregon
State coach Mike Riley said Tuesday.
Theres still a lot to be decided in
the nal two weeks.
No. 15 UCLA has the South
Divisions spot in the Nov. 30 Pac-12
championship game wrapped up, but
can have an impact on who wins the
North in the nal weekend of the reg-
ular season.
The Bruins, who have a two-game
lead over Southern California after
beating their SoCal rivals last week,
host No. 11 Stanford, which shook up
the BCS standings by knocking off
then-top-ranked Oregon last week-
end.
If the Cardinal beat UCLA, they
will win the North and face the
Bruins again the next week in the
Pac-12 title game. If UCLA wins and
No. 5 Oregon beats No. 16 Oregon
State in the Civil War on Saturday in
Corvallis, the Ducks will play the
Bruins in the championship game.
What may be the best scenario
from a conference standpoint would
be if Stanford and Oregon both win.
If the Cardinal beat the Bruins on
Saturday, it wont matter who wins
the Pac-12 title game the next week
since the champion has a slot in the
Rose Bowl already waiting. If
Oregon beats Oregon State, the
Ducks are almost certain to get an at-
large bid to a BCS bowl, most likely
the Fiesta.
Oregon still has an outside shot at
the national championship game, but,
at No. 5 in the BCS standings, would
need some help from the teams ahead
to play in Miami on Jan. 7.
The only thing that matters is win-
ning on Saturday, Oregon coach
Chip Kelly said. You can run
through 27,000 scenarios, but if we
dont win Saturday, none of them
come true.
The Pac-12 has plenty of postsea-
son options.
Arizona has had a successful rst
season under coach Rich Rodriguez,
ghting a thin roster with an explo-
sive offense to win seven games.
Up Interstate 10 in Tempe, Todd
Graham also has Arizona State bowl
eligible in his rst season as coach,
clinching the six-win mark last week
by rolling over Washington State in
the nal home game for the Sun
Devils seniors.
The desert rivals face each other on
Friday in their annual rivalry with
bragging rights and positioning for a
bigger bowl on the line.
Rileys Beavers shook off consecu-
tive losing seasons and dire predic-
tions for this one to win eight games
so far and become bowl eligible.
Washington corrected its problems
during a three-game losing streak
midway through the season to
become bowl eligible for the third
straight season.
USC didnt live up to its national-
title expectations, losing four games,
but will still head to a bowl in the rst
season after its two-year bowl ban
was lifted.
Utah is facing some long odds to
make it nine Pac-12 teams in the
postseason.
The Utes are 4-7 heading into their
season nale against Colorado,
which in most years would knock
them out of the bowl picture.
But if there arent enough eligible
teams to ll the 35 bowls, teams with
the highest APRs will be placed in a
group for bowls with open slots to
negotiate with. Utah has an APR of
33 and, with a win over the Buffs,
could be in the running for a bowl
with schools like Rice, Wake Forest
and Missouri.
Dont beat Colorado and it wont
matter, sending Utah to its rst four-
win season since 2000.
Ive told this team many times you
shouldnt need a carrot out in front of
you to play hard, Utah coach Kyle
Whittingham said. It should be just
for the respect of the game and the
competitive re that is within. That
should be enough.
Even if the Utes dont squeak in,
its been a good year for the Pac-12.
What was supposed to be a run-
away to the title game by Oregon and
Southern California turned into one
of the most competitive seasons in
recent years for the conference.
It started with Stanford upending
USCs national-title hopes in the con-
ference opener and the standings
changed seemingly every week,
capped by the Cardinals overtime
win over Oregon last Saturday night.
Once the dust settles, the Pac-12
will have teams playing throughout
December, maybe even a couple in
January.
We kind of predicted it coming in,
you could see it happening: this is the
most competitive this league has been
ever, I think, Riley said. Its very
exciting for the fans, but very hard on
the coaches.
And good for the conference.
Pac-12 has eight teams eligible for bowls
Its just indicative that this conference is really good and really
competitive, and I think has done pretty well on a national scope.
Mike Riley, Oregon State coach
By Doug Ferguson
NAPLES, Fla. If not for Paul
Azinger picking up a long putter that
belonged to a short man, there might
not be such a fuss over belly putters.
The USGA and R&A are close to
announcing their position on long
putters that are anchored to the
body. That they have pledged to
make an announcement by the end
of the year has most believing a ban
is imminent.
If thats the case, the guy who
started it all thinks that would be a
shame.
Everybody is looking to improve
their game, Azinger said in an inter-
view last week. That technique is
good for some, and it didnt work
for others.
What befuddles him is the
advancements in equipment over the
last 20 years, particularly with golf
clubs. He referred specically to the
Great Big Bertha driver, which at the
time looked enormous and had a big
sweet spot. Azinger was only par-
tially joking when he said that club
now looks like a 4-wood.
Its OK for manufacturers to g-
ure out game improvement,
Azinger said. But if a player gures
it out, were going to ban it?
For the former PGA champion, it
was more of a uke.
He was putting poorly when he
went into the pro shop while at
home in Florida in late 1999, grab-
bing putters of the rack when he
came across a long putter that is
anchored to the chest. Only this one
belonged to someone much shorter
than Azinger.
I grabbed it, was lining it up per-
fect and stuck it into my belly
because of the length, Azinger said.
I hit it all over the pro shop and
made everything, and then walked
outside and made everything.
Azinger checked to make sure it
was legal, and he was on his way. At
the mixed-team event, he says he
made 13 birdies and an eagle in two
days of fourballs with Se Ri Pak as
his partner. Alas, they lost in a play-
off to John Daly and Laura Davies.
Azinger took his belly putter to
Hawaii and won the Sony Open by
seven shots.
But heres the other side to this
magical belly putter he never
won again. And he was quick to
point out that while three of the last
ve major champions had a belly
putter, it took 11 years before some-
one (Keegan Bradley) won a major.
Then all of a sudden its being
looked at because some guys have
success doing it, Azinger said.
You dont see guys shooting 57, 58,
59 with the belly putter. ... It can
help you theres no two ways
about it. But its not helping every-
body.
In a subsequent text message,
Azinger again suggested that the
USGA and R&A were concerned
about the wrong piece of equipment.
The belly putter doesnt guaran-
tee youll putt better, he said. But
todays drivers will guarantee youll
hit the ball farther.

You could draw a parallel to say that the womens basketball
team lost one of the best players in the country, but they want
to prove that theyre a good team. We can say that we fall into
that category also, whereas we lost the best player in the coun-
try in our sport, and we also want to prove to ourselves as well
as to other people that were a good football team that can
compete against anybody.
Consider it done.
Along with losing Luck to the Indianapolis Colts, three other
Stanford players were selected in the top 42 picks in Aprils
NFL draft, and both starting safeties and wide receivers are
also on NFL rosters or practice squads now. Taking down the
previously undefeated Ducks at amped-up Autzen Stadium has
surprisingly put the Cardinal (9-2, 7-1) in control to host the
Pac-12 Conference championship game something a Luck-
led team never did if they can beat No. 15 UCLA on
Saturday.
VanDerveer is still learning how her team will play over the
course of the season after losing Ogwumike to graduation and
the WNBAs Los Angeles Sparks. The Hall of Fame coach has
talked to her team since training camp about what the football
program has been able to accomplish long after its leader left,
citing examples of defense and unselshness that go beyond
any one player.
The womens team got even more pumped up when they
were informed over the public address system during pregame
warm-ups against Hawaii on Saturday that the football team
had upset Oregon.
When they did it, they could hear us cheering from
Hawaii, said VanDerveer, whose Cardinal (5-0) beat Baylor
71-69 and eventually captured the Rainbow Wahine tourna-
ment in Honolulu to become the top-ranked team in the latest
Associated Press poll. When we won, we could hear them
cheering from Oregon.
The rigorous academics, adjacent facilities and shared din-
ing halls naturally bring Stanford athletes closer together. The
football and womens basketball teams, however, have grown
even tighter behind the rallying cry of Nerd Nation.
Its sort of like a conspiracy, joked junior forward Chiney
Ogwumike, the younger sister of Nnemkadi.
Football players rst began to embrace the stereotype when
former coach Jim Harbaugh brought a more physical, run-rst
style to the program and opponents often teased that a team full
of future venture capitalists, engineers and even politicians
couldnt be tough. The womens team took it a step further last
season, when the Ogwumike sisters created a spoof video
called Nerd City Kids that included football players. The
video went viral all over YouTube and social media.
Ogwumike said she has even lobbied for a banner to be
placed at the campus entrance that reads: Welcome to Nerd
City.
Its having a little chip on our shoulder, but also acknowl-
edging that the culture around here for athletics is a little bit
different and embracing that, Mohawk-wearing middle line-
backer Shayne Skov said.

Warriors center Bogut to miss three more games
OAKLAND Golden State Warriors center Andrew
Bogut is scheduled to miss at least the next three games as
he continues to strengthen his surgically
repaired left ankle.
The team said Tuesday that Bogut
spent several days last week in Los
Angeles to get treatment under the
supervision of Dr. Richard Ferkel, who
performed the surgery on the 7-foot
Australian on April 27.
The Warriors, who host the Brooklyn
Nets on Wednesday night, anticipate
Bogut being able to run on a special
anti-gravity treadmill later this week
and return to practice next Monday.
Bogut has missed the last six games. The 2005 No. 1
overall pick fractured his ankle Jan. 25 with Milwaukee and
missed the rest of the season after being traded to Golden
State for guard Monta Ellis.
Ravens S Reed wins appeal, avoids suspension
OWINGS MILLS, Md. Baltimore Ravens safety Ed
Reed avoided a one-game suspension for late hits after an
appeal. He instead will be ned $50,000.
Reed was suspended for one game without pay on
Monday by NFL vice president of football operations
Merton Hanks for his third violation in three seasons of the
rule prohibiting helmet-to-helmet hits against defenseless
players. The third violation occurred in Sunday nights
game at Pittsburgh: Reeds hit to the head of receiver
Emmanuel Sanders.
Reed appealed the ruling in phone session Tuesday morn-
ing with NFL hearing ofcer Ted Cottrell. The NFL Players
Association represented Reed, who also participated.

CARSON David Beckham will
announce the next stop in his soccer
career near the end of the year. Until
then, hes focusing on winning one
more trophy with the Los Angeles
Galaxy.
Beckham said Tuesday he has sever-
al exciting opportunities on the table
to continue playing after he leaves the
Galaxy next month, capping a six-sea-
son U.S. career with Los Angeles sec-
ond straight appearance in the MLS
Cup on Dec. 1.
I still feel that I have something left
in me as a player, Beckham said at the
Galaxys training complex. I still feel
like I have one more challenge in me as
a player. Even at 37 years old, I still can
play at a high level. Where that will be
yet, I havent decided.
Right now my focus is on the nal,
he added. Once thats out of the way,
we have an (exhibition) tour to deal
with, and then its Christmas, which we
always spend in London, so Ill be there
and Ill make the decision then.
The English midelder wasnt spe-
cic about where he might end up next,
deecting questions about every desti-
nation from Australia and China to
France and Britain. While discussing
his future in the most oblique terms,
Beckham only conrmed he wont
move to New York or any other MLS
team.
There are options, and Im very
lucky at my age to have options,
Beckham said. People have talked
about my retirement, people have men-
tioned will I retire, and I actually dont
feel Im ready to retire yet.

I certainly wanted the answer to be Jeff, she
said. But I have that obligation to do whats
right for Cal. It was a matter of did I believe that
we could turn around some of these worrisome
trends competitively and academically.
Ultimately my conclusion was it wouldnt be
deep enough to take us to where we need to be.
Tedford released a statement thanking the
school for the opportunity to coach there.
All involved can feel a great sense of pride
with their sacrice, contributions and commit-
ment that have made it possible to have the win-
ningest tenure in Cal football history, he said.
We all can be very proud of helping to build a
renovated Memorial Stadium that will have a
positive impact on many athletes, fans and staff
members for years to come.
Tedford is still owed $6.9 million over the
nal three years of his contract, although
Barbour said the sides are working on a settle-
ment. She also said no state funds or student
fees will be used to pay Tedford or the new
coach.
Barbour said she would consider both NFL
and college coaches and wanted to nd a
replacement quickly. Cal which will be aided
by the rm of DHR International in the search.
The Cal players gave Tedford a standing ova-
tion after getting the news.
Everybody really respects coach a lot and
loves coach a lot, offensive lineman Jordan
Rigsbee said. It really meant a lot to us to send
him off in that way.
Tedford established himself at Cal as a quar-
terback guru, helping develop Kyle Boller and
Aaron Rodgers into rst-round picks in his rst
three seasons after tutoring No. 3 overall pick
Joey Harrington as offensive coordinator at
Oregon.
But if there was one reason for Tedfords
downfall it was his inability to nd another big-
time quarterback after Rodgers left following
the 2004 season. The Bears ran through a group
of pedestrian passers like Joe Ayoob, Nate
Longshore, Kevin Riley, Brock Mansion and
Zach Maynard.
The inability to pair an elite passer with the
top-level talent at the skill positions proved to
be Tedfords undoing. The Bears often put
together some of the best recruiting classes on
the West Coast and had 40 players drafted into
the NFL, including eight rst-round picks,
under Tedfords leadership.
Cal had 25 players on NFL rosters at the start
of this season, ninth most in the nation. That
includes stars like Rodgers, DeSean Jackson
and Marshawn Lynch. But those star players
were unable to get the Bears back to the Rose
Bowl for the rst time since the 1958 season.
The closest Cal came was in Rodgers nal
season in 2004 when the Bears had a 10-1 reg-
ular season, losing 23-17 to eventual national
champion Southern California. Texas beat out
Cal for a Rose Bowl spot much to the dismay
of the fan base. The Bears shared the confer-
ence title with USC in 2006 but lost the head-
to-head matchup and settled for the Holiday
Bowl.
Cals fortunes turned downward that next
season after a 5-0 start. With the Bears poised
to move into the No. 1 spot in the polls follow-
ing a loss by LSU, they lost to Oregon State in
the closing seconds. Starting with that game,
Tedford had a 34-37 record over his nal 5 1/2
seasons.
The Bears even got passed by Stanford in the
Pac-12 hierarchy to the dismay of the alumni,
with the Cardinal in position to get that Rose
Bowl bid that has eluded Cal over the years
despite losing star quarterback Andrew Luck to
the NFL.
Adding to negatives for Tedford was news
last month that Cal graduated only 48 percent
of football players who entered school between
2002 and 2005 the lowest rate in the Pac-12.
Barbour said in a letter to donors that the low
graduation rate was a great concern.
The one bright spot in Tedfords nal seasons
came when Memorial Stadium reopened this
fall following the major renovation. The mod-
ernized stadium and adjacent $150 million on-
campus High Performance Center nally give
Cal the facilities to compete with the rest of the
conference.
TEDFORD
But three straight losses capped by last
Sundays 38-17 home defeat to New Orleans left
the younger Davis so frustrated that he made a
rare public appearance in the postgame locker
room to express his frustration, as well as his
belief in McKenzie and Allen, who will get more
time than predecessors to get the Raiders back on
the winning track.
Im patient. But I want to see progress, Davis
said. I dont want to see regression. Nobody
does. And thats why Im unhappy today. But as
far as a pass, I wouldnt call it a pass. Theyve got
contracts, theyre going to be here.
McKenzie came in with a long view for build-
ing the Raiders under a similar model to the one
he worked with during years in the front ofce
with the Green Bay Packers.
He quickly shed some out of whack con-
tracts for players like cornerback Stanford Routt
and linebacker Kamerion Wimbley and set out to
nd cheaper alternatives who could t under a
tight salary cap.
With no draft picks until No. 95 overall
because of previous trades, McKenzie was unable
to make many big additions and the results have
shown up in the lack of depth on the current ros-
ter.
Free agent linebacker Philip Wheeler has had
the biggest impact of the offseason additions.
Cornerbacks Ron Bartell and Shawntae Spencer
have struggled to stay healthy, guard Mike Brisiel
has failed to solidify the offense line and the only
regular produced in the draft is linebacker Miles
Burris.
RAIDERS
Kings nine, Alyssa Ostrow also had nine
kills, Katelyn Doherty added eight kills and
two aces, Ali Spindt nished with seven and
Eliza Gutierrez-Dewar chipped in with six.
We denitely made some adjustments with
our defense, Whitmill said. They ran a lot of
balls to the outside and we challenged them
(the Wolves) to go through the middle. By
Game 3, [we] understood where their hitters
wanted to go. [We] made the adjustments on
the court. We have a lot of good, mature vol-
leyball players. They have high volleyball
IQs.
Neither team led by more than a few points
the entire match, but when it came down to
crunch time, it was Wolves who blinked. M-A
led most of the way in Game 1, jumping out to
a quick 3-0 lead. The Wolves came right back
by winning six straight points to take the lead,
but the Bears did not panic. They calmly stuck
to their game plan and eventually tied the
game at 9.
With the set tied at 12, M-A won three
straight points and eventually built a 21-17
lead. The Wolves rallied, however, tying the
set a 23 on a Nicole Powers dump for a point.
Following an M-A timeout, however, the
Bears came back to win the nal two points on
a kill and a service ace from King.
We didnt start too fast, Whitmill said.
We didnt have peaks and valleys.
In Game 2, it was San Ramon Valley that
got off to a quick start, taking a 6-2 lead early.
Again, the Bears methodically pulled them-
selves back into the game, winning 10 of the
next 13 points. After that, it was nip-and-tuck
the rest of the way. Game 2 featured nine ties,
the last being at 20-all. Again, the Bears were
stronger at the end, winning ve of the nal
seven points to take Game 2, 25-22.
Game 3 was just as close as the rst two
sets, but in this one, M-A trailed only once at
12-11. The Bears threatened to make it look
easy, eventually building a 20-17 lead and
were one point away from the match, 24-18,
before the Wolves made their nal stand. San
Ramon Valley won four straight points to
close to 24-22 as the Bears committed three
errors during the run.
We were getting in a hurry to win this
match, Whitmill said. We just had to focus
on every point.
Doherty nally ended the match with an
emphatic kill to set off the celebration.
You always imagine it (a three-game
sweep), Whitmill said. But we always plan
to go ve games with every team we play.
Were always mentally prepared to go ve.
It wasnt needed this time, but the competi-
tion only gets tougher from here on out.
Division IV/Division V
Sacred Heart Prep, the top seed in the
Division IV Nor Cal tournament, made quick
work of No. 8 Ripon Christian, winning 25-
20, 25-22, 25-14 to advance to the seminals.
The Gators will host No. 4 Bear River-Grass
Valley (31-12) at 7 p.m. Saturday. Bear River
needed four sets to get past Cardinal
Newman-Santa Rosa, 20-25, 25-16, 30-28,
25-20.
SHP (31-5) was led by Ellie Shannon and
Sonia Abuel-Saud, who both nished with 10
kills. Shannon added four blocks and Abuel-
Saud had nine digs.
Victoria Garrick and Payton Smith each
added eight kills, with nine and eight digs,
respectively. Helen Gannon nished with 13
digs while Cammie Merten had 31 assists.
In Division V action, No. 2 seed Woodside
Priory (22-8) advanced to the seminals with
a 25-23, 25-13, 27-25 win over No. 7 Le
Grand. Priory will host No. 3 St. Joseph Notre

chief. In Belmont, the number of re person-
nel will shrink from 25 to 22.
The deal, brokered by interim Belmont Fire
Chief Doug Fry, could ultimately save the
Belmont Fire Protection District about
$500,000 a year, according to a staff report.
San Mateo and Foster City have been shar-
ing a re chief and other positions for about
two years now and has saved the cities about
$1.5 million.
Fry actually retired before the city re-estab-
lished its own stand-alone re department a
year ago but was rehired as an interim chief
and has since been exploring contracting out
management oversight.
Belmont residents assess themselves nearly
$7 million annually to provide re service in
the city but it is not enough to maintain a
stand-alone department for the long term,
according to a staff report.
Currently, Belmont pays about $1.3 million
in management costs for the department but
that gure will shrink to about $780,000
under the shared services agreement.
The shared services contract comes after
Belmont split with San Carlos in October
2011 for shared re services when the two
cities voted to dissolve the Belmont-San
Carlos Fire Department after a disagreement
over how the department was funded. The two
cities participated in a joint powers agreement
for nearly 32 years before dissolution.
The arrangement will not only save
Belmont money but allow the city to maintain
its own autonomous re department, Belmont
Mayor Dave Warden recently told the Daily
Journal.
The plan was unanimously approved in
all three cities as Foster City Vice Mayor
Pam Frisella told the Daily Journal that a
more regional approach to providing serv-
ices in the future will be almost a necessi-
ty based on escalating pension costs and
other hits to city budgets.

$80,000. The money would be used to make
reporting suspected fraud and abuse easier for
employees by creating a single web-based
place that consolidates all the guidelines and
procedures. The proposal calls for improving
the countys response to the reports so they
are more independent and condential and
giving employees ongoing training on ethics,
preventing and reporting fraud and perform-
ing their own accounting control responsibili-
ties.
The money would also fund a one-time
independent evaluation of the controllers cur-
rent internal audit practices and expand the
ofces use of analytic software to discover
unusual nancial activities that might point to
mistakes, fraud or just weak internal controls.
But Horsley wasnt ready to hear more at

time to study what he said looks like an over-
ly bureaucratic process which might not even
be necessary.
I just think the process that we have is
effective and it works rather well. I just cannot
see justifying a quarter millions dollars and
$80,000 in ongoing costs, Horsley said,
adding that it cold lead to potentially a lot of
mischief.
Horsley said hed prefer a more positive
approach which prompted County Manager
John Maltbie to recommend the ad hoc com-
mittee and board President Adrienne Tissier to

KABUL, Afghanistan For former CIA
director David Petraeus, it was a one-year
stint as top U.S. commander in Afghanistan.
His replacement is scheduled to leave next
year after 18 months in the job.
And now the sex scandal that draws them
together Petraeus career toppled and
Marine Gen. John Allens possibly on hold
also has placed greater attention to the
quick turnover of American battleeld chiefs
in the 11-year war.
Nearly two dozen generals have command-
ed troops from the United States and the
NATO-led International Security Assistance
Force, or ISAF, since the American invasion
in late 2001 with ve U.S. generals run-
ning both commands in the past ve years
alone.
There is no rm evidence the Pentagons
revolving door in Afghanistan has posed any
significant obstacles for U.S. troops, but
some military analysts suggest the frequent
changes at the top create potential breaks in
continuity in the critical cooperation with the
Afghan political leadership and security of-
cials.
The learning curve is pretty steep, said
retired Lt. Gen. David Barno, who command-
ed U.S. forces in Afghanistan in 2003 and
2004. One of the critical coins of the realm
in being effective in this kind of environment
is relationships among your allies, relation-
ships with the host nation, and with the
Afghans.
Iraq also had regular command changes,
including Petraeus in charge during the U.S.
troop surge in 2007 that helped dislodge
insurgent control from key areas. But the war
strategy in Afghanistan has, at many times,
been even more complex as fronts shift and
Taliban ghters regain strength.
Rotating top commanders on an annual
basis makes no management sense, Thomas
E. Ricks, a senior fellow at the Center for a
New American Security, wrote in an opinion
piece published recently in The New York
Times.
Imagine trying to run a corporation by
swapping the senior executives every year,
he continued. Or imagine if, at the begin-
ning of 1944, six months before D-Day, Gen.
George C. Marshall, the Army chief of staff,
told Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the
supreme allied commander, that it was time
to give someone else a chance to lead.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND

By Michele Kayal
On Thanksgiving Day how do you get the
turkey into the oven and the kids out of your
hair?
Its not as hard as you think, say family din-
ner experts. A number of strategies crafts
tables, light snacks, and yes, even inviting the
kids into the kitchen will ensure that all is
well when you nally sit down to give thanks.
Though it seems counterintuitive to bring
the kids into the kitchen while youre negoti-
ating stufng, squash and your mother-in-
laws running commentary, giving eager chil-
dren a job lets them feel like theyre part of
the action. Hand little ones a potato masher or
an eggbeater, older ones an immersion
blender, basting brush or rolling pin.
If you can give them a dish to be in charge
of, maybe you have two kids, and you say,
Guys, can I leave the salad to you? says
Katie Workman, blogger and author of The
Mom 100 Cookbook (Workman Publishing,
2012). Theres always enormous value in
giving kids that sense of ownership.
If you just cant bear to have them in the
kitchen or when theyve exhausted all their
skills send them to something else they
might nd attractive. Before everyone arrives,
set up a craft table full of crayons, markers
(you might want to stay away from paints),
jewelry making kits or anything thats
engrossing but not messy. Game tables
stocked with board games appropriate for the
age of the attending kids can keep a group
quiet. You also can send them outside to col-
lect sticks and leaves for a centerpiece, or
have them create crafts for the celebration.
Its a great opportunity to get kids decorat-
ing or setting the table, says Aviva Goldfarb,
founder of the family dinner planning service
The Six OClock Scramble. They can make
fall oriented place cards, or even a giant table
cloth. Get some big fabric and have kids dec-
orate it with fabric markers. Or send them out-
side for acorns and leaves and pine cones to
scatter around the table.
Keeping hunger at bay also will be a critical
part of avoiding meltdowns. No one wants the
kids (or the adults!) running into the kitchen a

Vegetarians have long known a
Thanksgiving secret the rest of us are
reluctant to admit its all about the
side dishes.
Think about it. Once youve taken the
obligatory slice of turkey, a dutiful
spoonful of gravy and maybe haggled a
bit over the dark meat, what you really
want is more stufng. More mashed
anything. More syrupy sweet potatoes.
And denitely more pie. Pie of any kind.
Absence of turkey can be a very pos-
itive thing, says New York Times food

Mousse cake complements
a vegetarian Thanksgiving
By Alison Ladman
For many people, by ditching the turkey a vegetarian
Thanksgiving already is messing with tradition. So theres no
reason not to push things a little more and lose the pumpkin
pie, too.
To complement the lighter foods associated with vegetarian
Thanksgivings, we decided to come up with a dessert that also
leaned to the lighter side of the culinary spectrum. From top to
bottom, this lemon pecan mousse cake is airy, with a refresh-
ingly delicate sweetness.
LEMON PECAN MOUSSE CAKE
Start to nish: 3 hours (1 hour active)
Servings: 12
For the pecan sponge cake:
5 ounces (1 1/4 cups) pecans, toasted and cooled, plus a few
more for garnish
1/2 cup sifted cake our
3/4 cup sugar, divided
4 eggs, separated
Pinch of salt
For the lemon mousse:
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2/3 cup sugar
4 eggs
2/3 cup lemon juice
Zest of 2 lemons
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a 9-inch springform pan
with baking spray.
In a food processor, combine the pecans, cake our and 1/4
cup of the sugar. Process until nely ground. Transfer to a
large bowl and set aside.
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the
egg yolks and another 1/4 cup sugar until thick and pale. Set
aside.
In another very clean bowl with a clean whisk, beat togeth-
er the egg whites, salt and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until
thick and glossy stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg yolks and half of the egg whites into the
pecan our. Fold the remaining egg whites in to the mixture
until thoroughly but gently combined. Spoon the mixture into
the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a
toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Set aside, in
the pan, to cool completely.
While the cake is baking, begin the mousse. In a medium
saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and sugar, then add
the eggs and whisk until smooth. Add the lemon juice and zest,
then set over medium heat. Whisking constantly, bring the
mixture to a boil; cook until it thickens. If there are any lumps,
strain the mixture. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside to
cool.
Once the cake and mousse base are both cool, in a large
bowl use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream to medi-
um peaks. Fold half the cream into the mousse base. When
thoroughly combined, fold in the remaining whipped cream.
Spoon or pipe the mixture onto the cake. Garnish with toasted
pecans and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
When ready to serve, run a paring knife around the edge of
the pan and loosen the sides. Remove the sides of the spring-
form pan and serve.
Acorn squash or sugar pumpkins stuffed with wild rice or other grains, carrots,
celery, onions, nuts, dried cranberries and a tiny dice of hickory smoked tofu also
make a avorful, celebratory main dish.
Lemon pecan mousse cake is airy,with a refreshingly delicate
sweetness.

Children dont care if youve slaved
hours over the Thanksgiving turkey. And
they certainly dont appreciate the
nuanced layers of flavor you once
extracted from the bird with the help of
expert brining and seasoning and rotat-
ing and roasting and trussing and fuss-
ing.
You know, back before you had kids.
Back when you had time to worry about
such things.
Balancing a gaggle of little ones with
the demands of getting Thanksgiving
dinner on the table doesnt mean sacri-
cing good taste. It just means you need
simple recipes that effortlessly deliver
stunning results. Which is why we creat-
ed this plain Jane turkey and gravy that
tastes anything but.
PLAIN JANE TURKEY AND GRAVY
Start to nish: 2 1/2 to 3 hours
Makes a 12- to 14-pound turkey with
gravy
6 medium carrots, rough chopped
6 stalks celery, rough chopped
3 large yellow onions, quartered
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room
temperature
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
12- to 14-pound turkey
1/4 cup white wine
2 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey
broth
3 tablespoons all-purpose our
Heat the oven to 350 F. Spread the car-
rots, celery and onions in an even layer
over the bottom of a large roasting pan.
In a small bowl, mix together the but-
ter, salt and black pepper. Pat the turkey
dry with paper towels. Rub the butter
mixture all over the inside and outside of
the turkey, making sure to get under the
skin, too. To do this, gently lift the skin
over each breast with one hand while
working the butter under it with the
other.
Set the turkey over the vegetables and
roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, basting the
turkey with juices from the pan every 30
minutes. Remove the turkey from the
oven when the breast reaches 160 F and
the thigh reaches 170 F. If the turkey
darkens too much before reaching those
temperatures, cover it with foil and con-
tinue roasting.
Transfer the turkey to a serving platter,
cover with foil, then set a large, thick
towel over it to keep it warm.
Remove and discard the vegetables
from the roasting pan. Place the pan on
the stovetop over medium heat (you may
need to use more than one burner). Bring
the juices to a simmer. Add the white
wine and scrape up any browned bits in
the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together
the chicken broth and our. Pour into the
pan, whisking continuously. Simmer for
5 minutes, stirring constantly. Strain the
gravy, if desired.

Simple turkey for a kid-friendly meal
How to dazzle
the crowd at
Thanksgiving
By Michele Kayal
Last Thanksgiving, Scott Heimendinger strapped on a pair
safety goggles, told his family to stand back, and plunged his
deconstructed turkey into a roasting pan of smoking hot oil.
We had a long-time tradition of making a turducken, but
wed do it from scratch, bone all the birds ourselves, says the
29-year-old director of applied research for modernist cuisine
guru Nathan Myhrvold.
Instead of turducken a duck inside a chicken inside a
turkey this year,
Heimendinger cut his
turkey into pieces, injected
it with brine and cooked it
in the water bath known as
sous vide. The goggles and
safety perimeter were for
protection as he afterward
seared the skin in a roasting
pan of smoking hot oil.
The whole family was
unanimous that this was the
best turkey theyd ever
had, he says. I fully
intend to do that this year.
Thanksgiving can be an
adventurous cooks bonan-
za, offering myriad ways to riff on familiar themes and tradi-
tions. New York chef Marc Forgione has been known to bone
the turkey and roll it up with the stufng inside, or to stuff the
bird under the skin. And Heimendinger probably isnt the only
one cooking his turkey sous vide.
On this holiday of eating, turkey tricks and extravagant
foods are all sure to impress. But chefs and cookbook writers
say bowling over your guests may be easier than you think.
And that it goes way beyond the cooking.
Your table setting has to wow them, says Rick Rodgers,
author of Thanksgiving 101 (William Morrow, 2007).
Every year I do a different table setting. ... Now my guests
walk in and go We have to see the table! People take photos,
and theyre Facebooking it all over.
Rogers might use an antique ceramic turkey as the center-
piece, or gourds and pumpkins jumbled with votive candles.
Half-burnt tapers in autumnal colors like orange and cream
make an elegant table, just as kitschy Pilgrim candles create a
festive atmosphere. Sometimes Rodgers puts a foil-covered
chocolate turkey at each place, or does something as small as

half hour before dinner whining about
hunger pangs. To keep everyone sane, but
not full, Workman suggests creating a beau-
tiful basket of crudite bell peppers, car-
rots, celery and cherry tomatoes with store-
bought dip that people can nibble on
throughout the afternoon. Goldfarb packs a
cooler of sandwiches and drinks for her
crowd so they can help themselves.
But when it comes to cutting down on
stress, the experts say cutting back on the
work and your expectations may be
the most important element.
The key is streamlining, says Kelsey
Banfield, author of The Naptime Chef
(Running Press, 2011). A successful and
enticing Thanksgiving meal does not have
to include 20 dishes. Ive never heard any-
one say there wasnt enough on the table.
And Thanksgiving is one meal where
even the pickiest child is likely to find
something he or she likes, without any spe-
cial effort on the part of the host. Why
wouldnt a kid enjoy roast turkey and sweet
potatoes and stuffing? Goldfarb says.
That said, Workman suggests putting
bells and whistles streusel for the sweet
potatoes, chives for the mashed potatoes
on the side so people can take what they like
and leave what they dont.
And finally, as with so much about par-
enting, embrace imperfection. Every dish
does not have to be a culinary wonder, these
experts say, and does not have to arrive pip-
ing hot. And every child does not have to be
a perfect angel.
The younger the kids are, the more you
have to build in flexibility so you dont get
disappointed, says Banfield. You just
have to be flexible and go with the flow. The
more you can do that, the happier everyone
is.

roughly 360 dinners a year that have absence

were supposed to.

low the advice of chefs who have made veg-
etable cookery an art form. Approach the hol-
iday as the celebration it is, they say, and turn
all your creative juices onto the vegetables
and grains.
Offer dishes that are rich in avor and fat,
and, if you really need an anchor for the meal,
create another dish as a centerpiece.
Choose one of the bigger vegetables and
make something out of it, says Amanda
Cohen, chef-owner of the New York City
restaurant Dirt Candy, and author of the cook-
book of the same name. Take cauliower and
spend a moment. Smoke it, season it, batter
and deep fry it. Bigger pieces of vegetable are
really going to replicate the idea of a center-
piece.
Acorn squash or sugar pumpkins stuffed
with wild rice or other grains, carrots, celery,
onions, nuts, dried cranberries and a tiny dice
of hickory smoked tofu also make a avorful,
celebratory main dish, says Diane Morgan,
author of two books on Thanksgiving and a
new volume on root vegetables called Roots
(Chronicle Books, 2012). A lasagna of sliced
sugar pumpkin layered with ricotta and crum-
bled fried sage, she says, also offers an
impressive make-ahead dish that will have
you forgetting there ever was talk of a
turkey.
With the centerpiece nailed, proceed as
usual. Surround that dish with all the tradi-
tional sides stuffing, mashed potatoes,
those gooey sweet potatoes and roasted
Brussels sprouts. You want gravy? Make it
with a stock of roasted root vegetables,
Morgan says, and pour it all over your pota-
toes. Use as much butter, salt and cream as
you normally would on Thanksgiving,
knowing that those are the elements that put
the comfort in comfort food.
Fat is the operative word, Bittman says.
You can make a really great stuffing with a
lot of butter. Creamed onions, creamed
spinach. Of the things people think of when
they think of Thanksgiving food, only the
turkey is really meat.
Colors and textures also add interest to the
meal. Vary these. If youre making tradition-
al mashed potatoes, Morgan says, maybe cut
your sweet potatoes into spears and roast
them. Use a number of different techniques
roasting, braising, stir-frying to cook
your green vegetables. Instead of pureeing
the squash, cut it in half and roast it for a
more dramatic presentation.
Then its a large canoe shape on the
plate, Morgan says. That makes for more
interest than these piles of things on the
plate that all appear as side dishes.
And, of course, pull out all the creative
stops, exploring the different textures and
properties you can coax from each veg-
etable. At her restaurant, Cohen often incor-
porates different components of a vegetable
in a single dish. She adds corn and whipped
corn to corn grits, makes pasta out of pureed
broccoli then tops it with stir-fried broccoli,
and tops a carrot risotto with carrot chips.
You get a flavor explosion on your plate
with this one vegetable, Cohen says.
And finally, dont for a minute think a
vegetarian Thanksgiving somehow breaks
tradition. When the settlers and the Native
Americans met back at the start of all this, it
was to celebrate a bountiful harvest, the
crops that had been successfully grown.
Its overwhelming how many great things
are in season now that we can use for a beau-
tiful vegetarian meal, Morgan says. Thats
what were celebrating. Its that same celebra-
tion of the harvest of all these things that have
been underground for a while.
VEGGIE
tying up the napkins with raffia.
It takes two seconds and people think
youre an entertaining god, he says.
Offering a house cocktail is another easy
way to score big with little effort. Artisan
hard cider with a cinnamon-stick stirrer has
the fizz of Champagne but the taste of the
season. Spiked punch, a cranberry kir, or a
drink made with bourbon an American
spirit can all set the mood.
Something like that is a nice touch,
Forgione says. Whenever you start the day
or evening with a nice cocktail it lets you
know this is going to be a party.
And opulent treats dont have to be com-
plicated. A cocktail of colossal shrimp
makes a gorgeous appetizer, Rodgers says,
and a dish of caviar adds class. For the green
bean salad, Forgione says, go the extra mile
and boil some fresh beans.
Always think of things you know people
dont have a lot of, Rodgers says. Wild
mushrooms. Truffle oil. Anything that says
Ive taken extra care for you.
Of course, if youre a food geek like
Heimendinger, youll want to carry the show
through the end of the meal, maybe prepar-
ing a dessert in the style of the restaurant
Alinea, Chicagos mecca of modernist cui-
sine, where the course is plated directly on
the silicon table cloth, and finished with a
dramatic shattering of edible vases filled
with cotton candy and other treasures.
If you really wanted to do drama thats
what you could do, Heimendinger says.
But even the idea of eating dessert without
plates would be very cool.
Others believe the most impressive ele-
ment of the meal is something far more
mundane.
This is going to sound like such a simple
thing, but dont overcook your turkey,
Forgione says. The turkey roulade and
stuffing under the skin, we do that at the
restaurant because people are coming and
theyre spending a lot of money. We like to
fancy it up. But if Im at home and there are
12 or 15 people at the table, if you cook a
perfectly roasted turkey, theres something
very satisfying about that.

at 2220 Summit Drive. For the Jarretts,
who live less than half a mile from the
new campus, learning about the pur-
chase was a starting point to getting
involved.
Half luck, half strategy
Despite steady growth in recent years,
Burlingame hasnt had to put large num-
bers of students on waiting lists for a
preferred school. Instead, things have
worked out as district officials have
shown a willingness to switch gears
when it was clear that the growth wasnt
a one-year anomaly.
Trustee Greg Land explained, its
half luck and half strategy.
For example, a Spanish immersion
program was started at McKinley
Elementary School in 2008. While
enrollment was growing in other areas,
there was space at McKinley. The spe-
cialty program began to naturally draw
students from other schools within the
district, helping with the growing enroll-
ment, he said.
At the same time, the district needed
to be willing to change its plan.
Voters approved Measure A, a $48.3
million bond measure, in 2007. Before
going to the voters with Measure A, the
district created a needs list which, if
completed, would cost an estimated $90
million. Purchasing the now-vacant
Hoover Elementary School at 2220
Summit Drive for $4.85 million in 2010
was one of the larger purchases from the
measure. Adding new buildings at
Lincoln and McKinley elementary
schools were also large-ticket items to
solve enrollment issues not originally on
the project list but space was needed.
Planning only
works with funding
Buying a previously closed school
came with additional costs. Hoover was
built in the 30s, closed in 1978 and sold
10 years later. In 1989, Shinnyo-En
Buddhist Facility was granted a city per-
mit but later moved out of Burlingame.
It will need renovations before it can be
again operated as a school. Also, the
growing number of students will at some
point go through Burlingame
Intermediate School, which didnt get
much attention during the last round of
bond funds.
Burlingame voters approved Measure
D, a $56 million bond measure, earlier
this month. Without the money, the dis-
trict would have needed to increase class
sizes simply because of a lack of space,
explained Trustee Davina Drabkin.
Planning for how to possibly spend
that money started last year. Drabkins
concern originally was creating a master
plan.
BIS is ugly, she said, adding Its
functional space. If were going to do all
this work, lets do it well.
Drabkin wanted to know the needs of
the new classes, and how functional yet
efcient space could be created. The dis-
trict has been actively holding those con-
versations in the community. That
research has included visiting other
campuses to see how other middle
schools make the larger numbers work,
she said. Land has expressed an interest
in maintaining a community sense at
BIS despite its growth, possibly by cre-
ating a variety of quads in the campus.
The bond money also means
Burlingame can get started with mod-
ernizing Hoover to reopen in the 2014-
15 school year.
Connecting with the community
Mike Jarrett started working with the
district as a volunteer for the Measure A
oversight committee. Given his familys
proximity to Hoover, he was also active
in the Measure D campaign.
Through that experience, he and
Sherri have been introduced to a world
of volunteer opportunities to support
Burlingame schools from helping to
the classroom to working with the
Burlingame Community for Education
Foundation. Sherri Jarrett is taking this
year to really nd her place among the
many options. Shes enjoying spending
time in Drews class at Franklin, which
gives her the opportunity to talk with
teachers and see firsthand how hes
doing.
Theyre enjoying the school experi-
ence but are also excited about the
reopening of Hoover which if walk-
ing paths became available would be
much closer to home. Mike Jarrett has
even started a blog to reach out to other
families who may soon claim Hoover as
their neighborhood school.
SCHOOL
tion of the plans actual merits.
The decision late Monday came after
commissioners wrestled with the lan-
guage of the recommendation and Chair
Scot Marsters claried several times if
they could certify the document while
believing the consultants conclusions
on impacts like noise were wrong.
I cannot vote yes on this because it
essentially says something that I do not
believe, Marsters said before city staff
explained the commission could impose
improvement measures as a condition of
approval to further mitigate any
impacts.
Ultimately, the commission did
increase the number of proposed meas-
ures from four to 13, including requests
that the developer prepare a landscape
design plan for the vacant railroad corri-
dor property, contribute funding toward
a residential parking permit program
and more thoroughly study noise before
and after construction.
The commission also reiterated the
lines it drew between agreeing the proj-
ect has been adequately studied and
agreeing it is the best t for San Carlos.
By certifying the FEIR, were not
saying this is the right size and ulti-
mately we could say this needs to be
smaller, said Planning Commissioner
David Silberman.
As currently proposed by Foster City-
based developer Legacy Partners, the
Transit Village plan would convert a
10.53-acre strip of land within the exist-
ing Caltrain station and running parallel
to the railroad corridor. Legacys pro-
posal envisions eight four-story build-
ings with 281 housing units among a
mix of 407,298 square feet of residen-
tial, 23,797 square feet of ofce space
and 14,326 square feet of retail space.
The project would also include 667
parking spaces and a new SamTrans
Transit Center on 4.29 acres.
The commission held four meetings
on the nal EIR before reaching its con-
clusion. The meetings were often lled
with red-shirted residents of the Greater
East San Carlos group whose neighbor-
hood adjoins the current train station
and will bear the brunt of impacts.
Speakers over the span of meetings
repeatedly told the Planning
Commission the EIR was incomplete or
contained at-out wrong information,
including deciencies in calculating the
addition of children to already over-
crowded school, the amount of extra
parking spaces to accommodate resi-
dents and how many toxins could be
disrupted and spread into the air. Noise
and parking were also signicant con-
cerns and Monday night commission
Vice Chair Angela Harper-Pedersen
said she wants more study of noise on
the outdoor space of Transit Village ten-
ants.
Prior to a previous Planning
Commission hearing on the Transit
Village, city staff concluded that the
projects potential to reect train noise
cant be considered a signicant impact
because the noise already exists and is
caused by transportation rather than the
buildings themselves.
A lingering worry for neighbors, too,
is high-speed rail possible leading to
eminent domain of Old County Road
and their property to accommodate
extra rails. SamTrans, the agency that
owns the land proposed for develop-
ment into the Transit Village, has said
that is unlikely and that any work, from
high-speed rail to Caltrain electrica-
tion, should be possible within the cur-
rent connes.
The San Carlos City Council will dis-
cuss the Transit Village at its Dec. 10
meeting, said Assistant City Manager
Brian Moura.
EIR
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2012
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Try to subdue your
fondness for risk when it comes to a fnancial matter
with high stakes. Bucking the odds isnt likely to
work out too well, and you know it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Force yourself to
avoid repeating a recent mistake, even if you think
things will work differently this time around. They
wont. Live and learn.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Just because a
certain philosophy fts another doesnt mean its
tailored to your requirements. Youd be happier living
your own life, with your own patterns.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Regardless of who
you are thrown together with, be gracious and
thoughtful. Remember, people are always observing
you, and bad behavior wont be readily forgiven.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Heed the notion that
what you do might affect others. Take care to avoid
doing anything that would inconvenience someone
else, especially if the other party isnt involved in
your decision-making.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Trouble is lurking if
you attempt to stretch the truth regarding some
important information. You should tell it like it is, no
matter the consequences. If you fudge, youll just
make things worse.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are strong indica-
tions that wastefulness on your part could become a
major problem. Get hold of yourself immediately, or
youll quickly fnd yourself in trouble.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Friends, co-workers and
family will all resent it if youre too self-serving. Be
careful not to put your needs, desires or wants above
those of everybody else.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Its important that you
see your problems for what they really are and not
through rose-colored glasses. It wont do you any
good, and it could cause some unneeded problems.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Engaging in the least expen-
sive activity is likely to turn out to be the most satis-
fying for you in the long run. No matter how tempting
the alternative, stick with the cheaper option.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A personal objective
youre hoping to squeeze into your schedule looks
like it isnt likely to get done, not through any fault of
yours. Other factors could be working against you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The exaggerations of
another might elevate your expectations to false
heights if youre not careful, so be aware of whom
you place your trust in. The crash could be huge, if
youre taken in.

WHY NOT START WITH THE BEST GOLD BUYER?

JERUSALEM A diplomatic push
to end Israels nearly weeklong offensive
in the Gaza Strip gained momentum
Tuesday, with Egypts president predict-
ing that airstrikes would soon end, the
U.S. secretary of state racing to the
region and Israels prime minister saying
his country would be a willing partner
to a cease-re with the Islamic militant
group Hamas.
As international diplomats worked to
cement a deal, senior Hamas ofcials
said some sticking points remained even
as relentless airstrikes and rocket attacks
between the two sides continued. The
Israeli death toll rose to ve with the
deaths Tuesday of an Israeli soldier and
a civilian contractor. More than 130
Palestinians have been killed.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton held a late-night meet-
ing with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu after rushing to the
region from Cambodia, where she had
accompanied President Barack Obama
on a visit.
The goal must be a durable outcome
that promotes regional stability and
advances the security and legitimate
aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians
alike, she said at a news conference
with Netanyahu.
Netanyahu said Israel would welcome
a diplomatic solution to the crisis but
threatened further military activity, say-
ing he was ready to take whatever
action is necessary.
Top Hamas ofcials in Cairo, where
cease-re talks were being held, said no
deal had been reached as of late
Tuesday.
Most likely the deal will be struck
tomorrow. Israel has not responded to
some demands which delayed the deal,
Hamas ofcial Izzat Risheq said.
Israeli ofcials said only that inten-
sive efforts were under way to end the
ghting. Israeli media quoted Defense
Minister Ehud Barak as telling a closed
meeting that Israel wanted a 24-hour test
period of no rocket re to see if Hamas
could enforce a truce.
In what appeared to be a last-minute
burst of heavy re, Israeli tanks and gun-
boats shelled targets late Tuesday, and an
airstrike killed two brothers riding on a
motorcycle. The men werent identied.
Egyptian President Mohammed
Morsi, perhaps the most important inter-
locutor between Hamas, which rules the
Palestinian territory, and the Israelis,
said the negotiations between the two
sides would yield positive results dur-
ing the coming hours.

Church of England says no to female bishops
LONDON The Church of Englands governing body
blocked a move Tuesday to permit women to serve as bish-
ops in a vote so close it failed to settle the question of female
leadership and likely condemned the institution to years
more debate on the issue.
The General Synods daylong debate ended with the rejec-
tion of a compromise that was intended to unify the faithful
despite differing views on whether women should be
allowed in the hierarchy. But backers failed to gain the nec-
essary majority by six votes.
There is no victory in the coming days, said Rev. Angus
MacLeay. It is a train crash.
The defeat was a setback for Archbishop of Canterbury,
Rowan Williams, who retires at the end of December, and
his successor, Bishop Justin Welby. Both had strongly
endorsed a proposed compromise that would have respected
the decision of those who objected to the ordination of
women bishops.
