Obama offers mortgage relief plan

President says we cant waitfor Congress; analysts predict more than 1 million will qualify
By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS President Barack Obama offered mortgage relief on Monday to hundreds of thousands of Americans, his latest attempt to ease the economic and political fallout of a housing crisis that has bedeviled him as he seeks a second term. Im here to say that we cant wait for an

increasingly dysfunctional Congress to do its job, the president declared outside a family home in Las Vegas, the epicenter of foreclosures and joblessness. Where they wont act, I will. Making a case for his Barack Obama policies and a new effort

to circumvent roadblocks put up by Republican lawmakers, Obama also laid out a theme for his re-election, saying that theres no excuse for all the games and the gridlock that weve been seeing in Washington. People out here dont have a lot of time or a lot of patience for some of that nonsense thats been going on in Washington, he said. The new rules for federally guaranteed loans represent a recognition that measures

the administration has taken so far on housing have not worked as well as expected. His jobs bill struggling in Congress, Obama tried a new catchphrase We cant wait to highlight his administrative initiatives and to shift blame to congressional Republicans for lack of action to boost employment and stimulate an economic recovery.

Man accused of assaulting grandmother

Grandson accused of on-road assault of 82-year-old for driving too slow
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

SCOTT LENHART/DAILY JOURNAL

The Old Spaghetti Factory opened Monday night in downtown Redwood City. Their grand opening party provided a good training session for their kitchen staff.The new restaurant is located at 2107 Broadway and is open for lunch and dinner.

A 27-year-old Half Moon Bay man punched his 82-year-old grandmother in the face several times and threw her into the passenger seat because he felt she was driving back to the coast too slow, according to San Mateo County prosecutors. Vittorio Vincent Valdez pleaded not guilty to several felonies charged in the alleged Sept. 24 incident, including elder abuse, kidnapping, false imprisonment of an elderly person, drug possession, driving on a suspended license and disobeying a court order not to drive. He did not waive his right to a speedy trial and was scheduled for Dec. 5. Although his grandmother was the alleged victim, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said she refused

medical attention at the scene and has since maintained Valdez did not harm her. Authorities, however, say at approximately 11:30 p.m. that the Vittorio Valdez evening, woman was driving Valdez from Palo Alto to Half Moon Bay in her BMW because he has a suspended license. Valdez reportedly grew angry at the slow speed and pushed down his grandmothers right leg to accelerate the vehicle. The frightened woman tried pulling into a Shell gas station for help but Valdez yanked her from the drivers seat and threw her into the

Thought for the Day

Is it really so difcult to tell a good action from a bad one? I think one usually knows right away or a moment afterward,in a horrid ash of regret.
Mary McCarthy,author (born 1912,died this day in 1989)

This Day in History

1854

The Charge of the Light Brigade took place during the Crimean War as an English brigade of more than 600 men charged the Russian army despite hopeless odds and suffered heavy losses. In 1760, Britains King George III succeeded his late grandfather, George II. In 1881, artist Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain. In 1910, America the Beautiful, with words by Katharine Lee Bates and music by Samuel A. Ward, was rst published. In 1929, former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall was convicted in Washington, D.C., of accepting a $100,000 bribe from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. (Fall was sentenced to a year in prison and ned $100,000; he ended up serving nine months.) In 1951, peace talks aimed at ending the Korean War resumed in Panmunjom after 63 days. In 1962, U.S. ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson presented photographic evidence of Soviet-built missile bases in Cuba to the U.N. Security Council. In 1971, the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit mainland China and expel Taiwan. In 1981, on the centenary of the birth of Pablo Picasso, the artists painting Guernica was returned to Spain after spending four decades in the possession of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1986, in Game 6 of the World Series, the Boston Red Sox lost to the New York Mets, 6-5, on a wild pitch and an error in the tenth inning, forcing a seventh game, which the Mets ended up winning. Ten years ago: A day after the House signed on, the Senate sent President George W. Bush the USA PATRIOT (Uniting and Strengthening America By Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) Act, a package of measures giving police sweeping new powers to search peoples homes and business records secretly and to eavesdrop on telephone and computer conversations.

Doctor: Jackson asked about IV sleep meds in 2009
LOS ANGELES A doctor has told jurors that Michael Jackson asked him about intravenous sleep medications roughly two months before the pop superstars death. Defense attorneys for Dr. Conrad Murray called Dr. Allan Metzger to testify Monday. Metzger told jurors he knew Jackson had difficulty sleeping for at least 15 years before Jacksons June 2009 death. Metzger told jurors that he didnt provide Jackson with any IV medication, and that he warned the singer that IV anesthetics should never be administered outside a hospital setting. Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Authorities contend Murray gave Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid. Street movement, a guitar strapped over his shoulder and his grandfather Pete Seeger at his side. Suddenly a New York City police officer stepped from the crowd and grabbed his elbow. Are you Tao Seeger? the officer asked tersely. Was this your idea? Did you think of this? Rodriguez-Seeger, a New Orleansbased musician, was certain arrest was imminent. The officer reached for his hand and he readied for the cuffs. Then something unexpected happened. He shook my hand and said, Thank you, thank you. This is beautiful, Rodriguez-Seeger said. That really did it for me. The cops recognized what we were about. That moment affirmed the message that his grandfather has preached tirelessly across nine decades. The causes and movements have changed from time to time over 75 years, but his message has always been the same: Song is the key to understanding and change. Music does something to you, Rodriguez-Seeger said. It can cross rivers of meaning that entire books cant get across. ... You take any one of Bob Dylans songs and you get to the heart of the matter where it took Homer volumes and volumes of books to get to the same point. Today, Pete Seeger is approaching the far end of a life lived walking hand in hand with American history, often at odds with the government that runs things. It failed to shut him up. The courts had no chance. Changing tastes and values? Never. Even time seems to have taken a step back in deference to the musical rabble-rousers resolve and determination.

Ohio dentist offers to buy back Halloween candy

MANSFIELD, Ohio An Ohio dentist is offering to buy kids trick-ortreating booty this Halloween, and hes even throwing in a toothbrush to sweeten the deal. The Mansfield News Journal reports that dentist Craig Callen and his associates are offering kids $1 per pound of candy they bring in, with a 5-pound limit per child. The dentists are also holding a drawing for two childrens bikes. Callen says brushing teeth and visiting a dentist are good preventive measures, but doing away with excess sweets would give teeth a healthy boost.

Freshman lawmaker: First year positive

Governor signed 79 percent of Assemblyman Rich Gordons bills
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Police reports
Raccoons?
A woman heard banging noises in her garage on the 3100 block of Crestmoor Drive in San Bruno before midnight. Wednesday, Oct. 12.

Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, has completed his rst year as a state lawmaker with the highest percentage of bills signed by the governor, compared to other lawmakers in the Assembly and state Senate. Gov. Jerry Brown signed 15 of the original 19 Gordon-authored bills, a 79 percent success rate. Im pretty pleased. From my perspective, I had a positive rst year, Gordon said yesterday. Key Gordon bills signed by Brown include Assembly Bill 1288, which increases protections for seniors who have nancial assets in trust; AB 1105, which allows for high-occupancy toll lanes along the existing carpool lane on Highway 101 in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties; and AB 703, which provides property tax exemptions for public land trusts, including the Peninsula Open Space District. Brown did veto one Gordon bill, however, AB 1021, which would have required a scal advisory on ballot measures costing the state more than $1 million in any year.

Rich Gordon

The intent of the bill was to give the public full disclosure on what an approved ballot measure would cost the state; what existing state programs would be put at risk by the measures passage; and how much more revenue the state would need to generate to implement the

measure. AB 1021 was meant to give voters a better understanding of the consequence of a vote and an honest evaluation of the cost of government. Brown did not sign it because the additional disclosure required by this bill will add words but not greater understanding about the nancial impact of a voter initiative, according to a letter he sent to the Assembly after he vetoed the bill. Gordon, however, has not given up on reforming the ballot initiative process. Obviously, I happen to think that was a good bill, he said. I still feel strongly that reform is needed in the initiative process.

There is a concern, he said, that money has too much inuence in the initiative process. Two of Gordons 19 bills this past year were held by the Assembly Appropriations Committee and another, AB 481, is pending on the state Senate oor for future consideration. AB 481 would require paid petition signature gathers for ballot initiatives to wear badges indicating they are being paid. He also co-authored a number of other bills the governor signed that include Senate Bill 15, which requires the governor to submit two-year spending plans to the Legislature when submitting the state budget for consideration; and AB 732, which requires a summary of the Legislative Analysts estimate of the net state and local government scal impact of a statewide bond measure. AB 732 was one of the only initiative or bond measure reform bills the governor did sign, Gordon said. Moving forward, Gordon plans to stick to the areas of education and the environment when considering new bills to support. He has also crafted legislation in support of local government.

Ex-S.F. mayor endorses incumbent amid tamper claims

By Beth Duff-Brown
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Candidates in San Franciscos mayoral race are teaming up against Mayor Ed Lee, calling for federal and state monitors for the Nov. 8 election after a neighborhood group that supports him was accused of ballot tampering. With early voting already under way, the seven candidates based their concerns on media reports claiming that members of the group have been helping Cantonese-speaking

residents ll out ballots. The candidates wrote a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice and California secretary of state on Sunday, calling for an investigation into reports that the alliance used stencils that prevented voters from marking their ballots for candidates other than Lee. From alleged money laundering to suspected ballot tampering, those allied with Ed Lees mayoral campaign have shown a willingness to do just about anything to preserve their power and inuence inside City Hall, said Joanna Rees, a businesswoman and can-

didate who signed the letter. Lee insists his campaign is not afliated with the group, SF Neighbor Alliance for Ed Lee for Mayor 2011, and is furious over the unsolicited campaign help by the independent expenditure committee.

On Tuesday, the Millbrae City Council will vote on a clean energy project with Siemens Industry. In late June, the council authorized the project allowing Siemens to conduct a survey of the citys energy use along with ways to cut costs by using clean energy. Now two proposals a $1 million plan nanced over 15 years and a $2 million plan nanced over 20 years will be discussed. Both plans call for installing new lighting technology for streetlights and within facilities as well as adding new irrigation controllers in parks to save water. The more expansive plan includes replacing the heating and air conditioning unit at the Community Center and installing solar panels on the library. Staff is recommending the latter. Most of the costs would come from the savings. At the same meeting, the council will consider reducing the building permit fees for a property at 927 Palmito Drive by 50 percent. The home owner had partnered with Rebuilding Together, a Menlo Park nonprot that helps those in need with home repairs among other community projects.

A new law requiring children to be 5 before entering kindergarten is giving school districts a reason to re-evaluate services offered to the youngest students and Burlingame is among the rst to discuss its plan. On Tuesday, the Burlingame Elementary School District Board of Trustees will discuss its plan for offering full-day kindergarten next year instead of staggering student start times. Those who are not yet 5 by the Oct. 31 deadline will take a half-day transitional kindergarten class. Since school starts before October, Burlingame, like most schools, could still have kindergartners start the year at 4 years old. Under the proposal, the Burlingame Elementary School District would allow those families the opportunity of enrolling into transitional or traditional kindergarten. Implementing the tradition plan, which calls for additional teachers to lower class sizes, would cost $350,000, according to a staff report by Superintendent Maggie MacIsaac. Plans for transitional kindergarten will likely more forward before any decisions are made about changing the traditional kindergarten program. Transitional kindergarten is essentially offering the younger students a second year of kindergarten instruction. While the deadline for enrollment will be slowly moved up over three years, Burlingame suggests allowing all students born after Sept. 1 the opportunity to take the additional year starting in 2012, according to a staff report by Jud Kempson, assistant superintendent of educational services. Under the proposal, traditional kindergarten

will return to a full-day schedule. Transitional, on the other hand, will be a half-day schedule. Both kindergartens will have smaller class sizes. District kindergarten classes currently have about 27 students per teacher. Next year, the ratio is expected to drop to 22.44:1, MacIsaac wrote. The combination of smaller class sizes and a full day of class will allow teachers more opportunities to work with students on core curriculum, she wrote. Under the Kindergarten Readiness Act of 2010, authored by state Sen. Joe Simitian, DPalo Alto, students must be 5 years old to start kindergarten. California, currently one of a handful of states that permit children to start as young as 4 years and 9 months old, will be joining the majority of states who require children to be 5 by Sept. 1. The change has long been sought by teachers, who consistently report that children younger than 5 are the ones most likely to ounder and fall behind. The act, Senate Bill 1381, also establishes a transitional kindergarten, the rst year of a two-year kindergarten, for children with fall birthdays (Sept. 2 to Dec. 2) who will be too young under the new cutoff date to enter regular kindergarten. California currently requires new kindergarten students to be 5 by Dec. 2 of the school year, one of the latest cutoff dates in the nation. The Kindergarten Readiness Act moves the cutoff date to Sept. 1, phasing in the change a month at a time over three years, beginning in the fall of 2012. In 2012, for example, children need to be 5 by Nov. 1 to enroll in traditional kindergarten. The board meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25 at the District Ofce, 1825 Trousdale Drive, Burlingame.

Sequoia candidatespriority:Meeting studentsneeds

Helping students succeed academically despite tough budget decisions is the top priority of those hoping to serve on the Sequoia Union High School District. Trustees Lorrain Rumley and Olivia Martinez are facing challengers Larry Moody, a nonprot director from East Palo Alto; Carrie Du Bois, San Carlos Elementary School District trustee; and university professor Allen Weiner in the race to ll three spots on the Sequoia Union High School District Board of Trustees. Candidates gathered Monday night at the Sequoia Union High School District Ofce to participate in a candidate forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of South San Mateo County. Budget restraints, inequitable funding and meeting the needs of all students were reoccurring themes at the forum. Funded primarily through local property taxes, Sequoia has made tough cuts but remained resilient in recent years. This years budget came with about $5 million in cuts yet did not eliminate the decit and assumes $5.7 million in additional cuts following two years. Moody said dealing with budget issues starts with educating locals about state funding. Proposition 98, for example, is supposed to require 40 percent of the states budget to education yet about $2 billion has been skimmed from the top in recent years, he said. In addition, Moody suggested partnering with Silicon Valley businesses to leverage the desire to move the education agenda forward. Du Bois thought the focus should be on smarter fundraising. Some foundations are more successful than others and those methods can be implemented at other schools. In addition, Du Bois stressed the need for more philanthropic partnerships. Weiner cautioned against relying on grants. He acknowledged having funds is a benet but that the district needs to be in charge of Lorrain Rumley what the funding does rather than pandering to a donors agenda. Rumley said partnerships both with businesses and other public agencies are one way to continue to meet Larry Moody needs no longer supported by current funding. The Teen Wellness Center on the Sequoia High School campus, for example, is a way to offer condential health services to all local teens. Martinez acknowledged nancial difculties will most likely result in the need for both cuts and raising revenue in the years to come. She was open to all ideas including a parcel tax, although she hoped it didnt come to that. While many elementary school districts have a district-wide foundations, high school districts often have parent-driven efforts dedicated to each individual high school. Candidates were asked to discuss fundraising differences. Du Bois said it was important to be cognizant of the fact that each community is unique. MenloAtherton High School, for example, does well through an online auction format combined with the pursuit of large donations, which wouldnt work everywhere. Weiner added working closely with a schools administration helps in fundraising efforts. Doing so allows parents to know the goals and benchmarks to meet those, making fundraising easier. Olivia Martinez Rumley struggled with inequity of funds raised at the different schools. Its a balancing act, she said, of allowing communities to raise funds to support its own programs Carrie Du Bois without creating funding gaps. Martinez agreed. Moody said he helped create a foundation at Ravenswood City School District in East Palo Alto to maintain teachers and fund needed class resources, emphasizing the impact of a community working together. Less revenue can sometimes make it difcult to offer special programs that help struggling students. Like most districts, Sequoia struggles with an ethnic achievement gap among students. Those running acknowledged the problem in Sequoia comes as a result of a variety of issues such as a wide economic spectrum and special needs. Sequoia provides a variety of programs for students already like tutoring and parent training, said Martinez, who was open to looking at new ideas. In terms of college preparedness, Martinez noted requiring students to do hands-on challenges like larger senior projects have helped. Weiner acknowledged the wide variety of programs. Given the budget restraints, he proposed to focus on a handful of successful programs that can be expanded rather than offering such a wide variety. In addition, he said ensuring students are prepared for life after high school should be a data-based conversation. Lastly, Weiner wanted to see an emphasis on career and technical learning which could give more options to students who are not college bound. Moody said the effort to ensure students are achieving and graduating cannot be ignored. He pointed to the grant-funded Built to Last program that offered special tutoring to Ravenswood students over three years which proved successful. He called for similar partnerships and solutions which come from the community. Du Bois took a different perspective. For her, it isnt about academics but the other issues keeping students from being successful such as home challenges and being a young parent. Solutions to the achievement gap lies in looking outside of the classroom, she said, calling for more support for students dealing with these issues. Rumley said working with feeder schools is key to fostering student success. Students need to be prepared for high school to really ourish, she said. At the high school level, teachers are being trained in new interactive instruction models which Rumley hoped would help. Candidates were asked their opinion on the districts current policy to provide open, accurate sex education information along with access to health services on campus. All supported the idea. Weiner did want more information about the health care referral process. Martinez also wanted parents to take an active role in the conversation as well as have the right to opt out of such lessons.

rom 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, College of San Mateo will participate in the Bay Area Science Festival when it hosts the Family Science & Astronomy Festival. The days events include planetarium shows, telescope viewing of the night sky, science demonstrations by CSM science faculty and hands-on workshops for children and adults.

U.S.pulls envoy out of Syria

Two in custody in high school shooting
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. Two teenagers were in custody in the shooting of a 15-year-old fellow student who was wounded in the neck during a lunch period outside her North Carolina high school, and a sheriff said Monday the pair will be charged. The 18-year-old and 15-year-old male suspects and the victim attend Cape Fear High School in Fayetteville, Cumberland County Sheriff Earl Moose Butler said at a news conference. Both suspects participated in the shooting and were being questioned, he said. The weapon, a .22 Daisy rie and shell casings have been recovered. Abercrombie was in stable condition after surgery at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, according to Butler, who said she was standing in a breezeway outside the school cafeteria when she was shot. Tanna said the older suspect is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, while the 15-yearold will go to juvenile court, although an exact date for the students appearance wasnt known.

WASHINGTON The Obama administration has pulled its ambassador home from Syria, arguing that his support for anti-Assad activists put him in grave danger the most dramatic action so far by the United States as it struggles to counter a Mideast autocrat who is withstanding pressure that has toppled neighboring dictators. Syria responded quickly Monday, ordering home its envoy from Washington. American Ambassador Robert Ford was temporarily recalled on Saturday after the U.S. received credible threats against his personal safety in Syria, the State Department said, pointing directly at President Bashar Assads government. Ford, who already had been the subject of several incidents of intimidation, has enraged Syrian authorities with his forceful defense of anti-Assad demonstrations and his harsh critique of a government crackdown that has now claimed more than 3,000 lives. Calling Ford back to the U.S. is short of a complete diplomatic break but represents the collapse of the administrations hopes that it could draw Assad toward government changes and a productive role fostering Mideast peace. Washington held off on a full condemnation of Assad as his crackdown worsened this spring, and waited months to

demand that he step aside. Fords presence in Damascus had been an important symbolic part of President Barack Obamas effort to engage Syria, which was without a U.S. ambassador for years after the Bush administration broke ties over Syrias alleged role in the 2005 assassination of a political candidate in neighboring Lebanon. With Moammar Gadhas death last week in Libya, and the revolutions that toppled long-time leaders Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia, Assad is among the Arab Spring autocrats left standing. Along with Ali Abdullah Saleh in Yemen, he is facing the most pressure from his citizens to leave power.

Judge blocks Floridas new welfare drug testing law

ORLANDO, Fla. A federal judge temporarily blocked Floridas new law that requires welfare applicants to pass a drug test before receiving benets on Monday, saying it may violate the Constitutions ban on unreasonable searches and seizures. Judge Mary Scriven ruled in response to a lawsuit led on behalf of a 35-year-old Navy veteran and single father who sought the benets while nishing his college degree, but refused to take the test. The judge said there was a good chance plaintiff Luis Lebron would succeed in his challenge to the law based on the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from being unfairly searched. The drug test can reveal a host of private medical facts about the individual, Scriven wrote, adding that she found it troubling that the drug tests are not kept condential like medical records.

Major California gas line ruptures during test

THE ASSOCIAETD PRESS

Pacic Gas and Electric Co. ofcials say a major gas transmission line serving the San Francisco Bay Area has ruptured. The rupture occurred during a pressure test Monday south of Bakerseld as the company

was planning to boost gas levels on the pipeline to meet winter demand. The line failed during a spike test on one of two parallel transmission pipes that run to a major PG&E terminal in Milpitas and provide much of the Bay Areas natural gas.

The testing was part of the utilitys effort to assure that its gas system is safe in the aftermath of last years deadly pipeline explosion in San Bruno. PG&E ofcials say did not have a timetable for repairs would be made.

A 50-year-old San Bruno woman was seriously injured Sunday afternoon in South San Francisco when she lost control of her car and crashed into a tree, police said. The woman was driving east on South Spruce Avenue at about 4:30 p.m. when, for unknown reasons, she drove onto the sidewalk and struck the tree, according to police. The vehicle overturned and came to rest on its roof, police said. The woman was pulled unconscious from the car and taken to San Francisco General Hospital to be treated for her injuries, police said. She suffered a two-inch cut above her left eye and a mild concussion, police said. The crash remains under investigation.

Government job losses a growing drag on recovery

BY Tom Raum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Local briefs
pects in an armed robbery and assault in San Carlos early Sunday morning that left one man with minor injuries. At around 1:50 a.m., a man was walking along the 1100 block of Eaton Avenue in San Carlos when two men clad in black ski masks and black sweatshirts approached him. One suspect brandished a knife and demanded the mans wallet. As the man handed over his wallet, one of the suspects slashed the victims forearm with the knife, causing a 3- to 4-inch cut, police said. The two men had apparently been waiting in the dark next to an apartment complex, according to a police report. The suspects were last seen running away toward Laurel Street and police are still following up on leads and analyzing evidence in their investigation into the incident. Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to contact the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofces investigations bureau or the anonymous tip line at (800) 547-2700.

WASHINGTON Conservative Republicans have long clamored for government downsizing. Theyre starting to get it by default. Crippled by plunging tax revenues, state and local governments have shed over a half million jobs since the recession began in December 2007. And, after adding jobs early in the downturn, the federal government is now cutting them as well. States cut 49,000 jobs over the past year and localities 210,000, according to an analysis of Labor Department statistics. There are 30,000 fewer federal workers now than a year ago including 5,300 Postal Service jobs canceled last month. By contrast, private-sector jobs have increased by 1.6 million over the past 12 months. But the state, local and federal job losses have become a drag on efforts to nudge the nations unemployment rate down from its painfully high 9.1 percent. The economy has been expanding, at least modestly, since the middle of 2009. And state and local governments are usually engines of job growth during recoveries. But not now, said economist Heidi Shierholz of the labor-aligned Economic Policy Institute. The public sector didnt start to lose jobs right away. But then it did as the budget crunch really hit. State governments are not allowed to run

decits. So the private sector is expanding while the public sector is shedding jobs to the tune of 35,000 jobs a month, she said. President Barack Obama sought to ease the crunch by including $35 billion to prevent layoffs of police, reghters and teachers in his $447 billion jobs package. But that big bill hit a GOP wall in Congress. Efforts to pass what Obama called bite-sized pieces of the big bill have stalled, too. Republicans dont want to swallow them, regardless the serving size. Senate Republicans blocked the $35 billion installment late last week when Democratic leaders called it up as stand-alone legislation. The dynamic is already reverberating through the gathering presidential campaign cycle, with Republicans making an issue out what they depict as Obamas inability to turn the economy around. This has been driven home in every one of the frequent Republican presidential debates, and is certain to become even more intense as the GOP eld narrows. The weak economy is a main factor in Obamas current approval ratings, the lowest of his presidency. No sitting president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936 and 1940 has been elected with the unemployment rate as high as it stands today hovering near or above 9 percent for more than two years. In 1936, the rate was 17 percent and in 1940, 15 percent, but then it was on a downward trend from over 24 percent earlier in the Great Depression.

Man robbed at Motel 6

An East Coast businessman was robbed of his laptop computer and camera at a Motel 6 in Belmont early yesterday morning after struggling with a woman with a gun, according to police. The victim was meeting with a woman in his room, described as an Asian in her late 20s, when two more people approached the victim, one Asian woman and one Asian man, according to police. The second Asian woman brandished a small handgun and demanded the victims laptop computer and camera, according to police. The victim refused and tried to wrestle the gun from the woman. During the struggle, the gun may have discharged but no one was hit by gunre, according to police. Also during the struggle, the male suspect punched the victim several times in the face. The suspects ed the area and have yet to be located. No vehicle information was available. Anyone with information on this case should contact Belmont police at (650) 595-7400.

OPINION
recommendation: The Sequoia Healthcare District should reduce property taxes for district taxpayers unless in a future election district voters approve expenditures for purposes not approved by district voters in the 1946 measure establishing the district or in 1996 Measure H. The 2002 Grand Jury found: Since the sale of the hospital the district has assumed a role similar to that of a philanthropic foundation. This is a function of the district that was never presented to the voters for their approval under 1996 Measure H.

The hospital district that wont die

By Jack Hickey

he Sequoia Hospital District (AKA Sequoia Healthcare District) built, owned and operated Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City until it was sold in 1996. The district is now engaged in frantic activities to justify its continued existence.

Guest perspective
Electronic Debrillators (AEDs). While other states have mandated AEDs for all schools on a state level, California has only mandated them for privately owned health studios. This program is not a proper function of the district. Former Atherton police chief, Glenn Nielson, was chosen as project manager. 2). Healthy Schools Initiative ($4.5 million over three years) subsidizes school district programs. School districts dont need district program managers and staff to tell them how to use the money. They have increased their pseudophilanthropy and launched PR branding activities costing more than $100,000/year. The district grants $1.35 million/year to a health insurance program (which supports abortion on demand) for children with family incomes approaching ve gures. With tax dollars, they corrupt charitable organizations otherwise funded by voluntary contributions. Examples: St. Anthony de Padua Dining Room ($100,000) and Mission Hospice and Home Care ($35,000). They have authorized a $2.5 million challenge grant to the Sequoia Hospital Foundation which supports the CHWowned hospital. They provide $1 million/year to subsidize 40 nurses enrolled in a Baccalaureate Nursing Program with no payback or employment within the district requirements! Nine nurses recently found employment in Palm Springs. The nurses union should fund this program. The Sequoia Healthcare District should be dissolved, with tax revenue dispersed among the public entities within the district boundaries.
Jack Hickey is a member of the Sequoia Healthcare District Board of Directors. He lives in Emerald Hills.

A footnote in history
n unexpected miracle happened yesterday morning. I typed a key phrase into the Daily Journals online archive search and received an answer. Not just any answer, mind you. Not the No matching news found! Please try again reply that taunted me and other users alike for weeks now but a real answer. A list of past stories, complete with accurate headlines and dates, tiled down the screen and lled my journalistic heart with joy. The breath I held when clicking the search button released. Nearly the entire body of Daily Journal work, the collective memory of staffs past and present, was back. The problem began a few weeks back although the full scope of the loss took a bit to fathom. I entered some word to double-check a date or name spelling. Maybe I needed to pull up the concise informational paragraph inserted into every story on an individual topic for example, the who and what and when of a specic election or the dollars and cents of jail funding. I cant really remember what I needed, which is sort of the point. If I could remember everything, I wouldnt need the archives. I often keep drafts of old stories, at least when the computer hard drive doesnt die, and the desk drawers are pretty swollen with documents and notebooks of scrawled details. But for the quickest answer with information already vetted by several pairs of editing eyes, the online newspaper archives are the best choice. The dark days of journalism required a trip to the aptly named morgue for a hard copy. There might have even been a staff librarian to clip and sort articles by topic. But times are different, technology is (usually) better and there are barely newsroom dollars for scribes let alone ancillary workers. The Daily Journal archives are an invaluable tool to revisit history and conrm information. So imagine my surprise when the function unexplainably failed. I must have spelled the search word wrong, I thought as I double-checked and entered again. Same no matching news result. As a lastditch effort to conrm this was not operator error, I used my name as the search criteria. Still nothing, which is pretty much impossible considering its place in a byline. Come to nd out, the system was down. Had gone down, was staying down and would remain down for goodness knows how long. Seems something happened that involved viruses and attacks and crashes and all sorts of technological voodoo that works really well in science ction movies or hacking by WikiLeaks and Anonymous. In reality, though my reality it was all a terrible pain. One day of frustration grew into weeks as the company in charge of the archives rebuilt them in small pieces and we elded inquiries from readers of where exactly the stories had gone. Is there a password now? one asked. Must I pay for access? came another. How a database is restored from information reportedly lost is beyond my pay grade. My ignorance is why I write news rather than offer IT advice. That is also why I grunted and moaned and whined every few days, Is it xed yet? rather than knowing how to actually do anything productive. Its amazing sometimes how the little things get under the skin, although Id argue having more than a decade of information disappear is far from minor. Had the world begun to crumble on Friday as predicted by one extreme religious group, I would have coped just ne. But needing to navigate outside search engines and essentially dumpster dive through my computer desktop trash to nd previously discarded les enough! Thankfully, it now appears the Great Daily Journal Archive Fail of 2011 is becoming little more than a footnote in history. The button clicks, the function searches and more often than not the result is exactly what is sought. Let us rejoice! And let me offer a meek apology for those frequent moments the past weeks when I silently vowed a pox on the house of anybody responsible for the debacle. With the system hopefully up and running now, lets consider it all in the past.

Creation of Sequoia Hospital District

In 1946, petitions were circulated for the purpose of establishing a local hospital in Southern San Mateo County. An election was called and voters approved the creation of Sequoia Hospital District as the vehicle. District boundaries were identical to Sequoia High School District at the time. It was understood that there would be future bond issues to build and add to it. Property taxes were assessed by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors and the hospital was built. It opened in 1950.

Jack Hickey elected to Sequoia Healthcare Districts Board of Directors

In November of 2002, I was elected to the Sequoia Healthcare District Board of Directors on a platform based upon the Jurys ndings. I was denied a seat on the Sequoia Health Services (SHS) Board intended to provide a taxpayer oversight function for hospital operations. In February 2003, SHS and the district were on a fast track to demolish Sequoia Hospital and rebuild down by Highway 101. My referendum petitioning effort derailed that move, and a seismically sound major upgrade to Sequoia Hospital on the Whipple/Alameda site was agreed upon. Funding came from CHW, the Sequoia Hospital Foundation and the district. In 2007, CHW assumed complete ownership of the Sequoia Hospital campus, including the Medical Ofce Building, with the district becoming a shareholder via an EBIDA prot-sharing arrangement.

Sale of Sequoia Hospital

The district got out of the hospital business after Art Faro, then CEO of Sequoia Hospital ran up a $29 million decit. That led to a voter-approved bailout sale of the hospital in 1996 (Measure H), with white knight Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) buying the right to take over hospital operations. CHW assumed responsibility for debt repayment and pension plan funding. The Board of Directors at that time sought to change the purpose of the district, which no longer owned a hospital, to include powers provided in recent health care district law. Without an election as provided for by that law, Sequoia Hospital District morphed into Sequoia Healthcare District and began engaging in philanthropic activity. Property taxes continue to be collected.

How the district spends your tax dollars

The district employs a CEO and executive assistant with payroll costs: $250,000/year. Two standalone programs with directors and staff add: $200,000/year to the payroll. These programs are: 1). HeartSafe: distributes Automated

Stocks reach highest level since August

Wall Street
Landesman, president of Platinum Partners. If theres not a deal by then, the market is going down signicantly. Even with concerns about Europe, U.S. companies are still reporting bigger prots. Although there is a good deal of economic and political uncertainty in the world, we are not seeing it much in our business at this point, Caterpillar Chief Executive Doug Oberhelman said. The maker of construction equipment reported a 44 percent surge in income, more than Wall Street analysts were expecting, thanks to strong growth in exports. The company said it expected the global economy to continue recovering, albeit slowly. Caterpillar jumped 5 percent, the most of the 30 companies in the Dow. The Standard & Poors 500 index rose to 1,254.19. That is just 3.45 points, or 0.3 percent, below where it started the year. Its the highest close for the S&P 500 since Aug. 3, just as Washington was resolving a showdown over raising the countrys borrowing limit. If the S&P 500 nishes the year with a gain, it will be its biggest turnaround since 1984. The Nasdaq composite rose 61.98, or 2.3 percent, to 2,699.44.

NEW YORK Stock indexes closed Monday at the highest point since the U.S. debt limit showdown in August. The market was driven higher by a round of big corporate takeovers and reports that Europes bailout fund will be larger than originally thought. The Nasdaq composite turned positive for the year. Netix Inc. plunged 26 percent in after-hours trading after the DVD-bymail and video streaming company forecast a sharp drop in fourth-quarter profits. Investors are still waiting for a resolution to Europes debt problems. European leaders said they made progress at a weekend summit and plan to unveil concrete plans for containing the crisis by Wednesday. The Dow Jones industrial average was up about 40 points in the rst hour of trading but moved steadily higher through midday following reports that Europes takeover fund will be greatly expanded. It nished with a gain of 104.83 points, or 0.9 percent, at 11,913.62.

Netflix loses 800K subscribers in tough 3Q

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Netixs video subscription service lost 800,000 customers in the third quarter the biggest exodus in its history even as its earnings rose 65 percent. The losses were larger than management had previously warned. The unwelcome surprise, contained in nancial results released Monday, was compounded by a forecast calling for millions of Netix Inc.s DVD-by-mail subscribers to cancel the service in reaction to dramatic price increase that took effect last month. The bad news bruised already battered

stock as the shares plunged by more than 26 percent. Netflix lost its luster among consumers and investors by raising prices as much as 60 percent in the U.S. and bungling an attempt to spin off its DVDby-mail rental service. The company, which is based in Los Gatos, Calif., ended September with 23.8 million U.S. subscribers, down about 800,000 from June. Netix had predicted it would lose about 600,000 U.S. subscribers in a forecast released last month. Management expects to gain U.S. subscribers in the current quarter, although

Netix didnt set a specic target. But a substantial number of Netflixs customers are expected to choose between renting DVDs through the mail or streaming video over high-speed Internet connections instead of paying for both services. The biggest hit is expected on the DVD side, a service that Netix has been de-emphasizing to save money on mailing costs as its spends more to license movies and TV shows for its Internet video library. The company expects its DVD subscribers to fall from 13.9 million as of Sept. 30 to as low as 10.3 million at the end of December.

The IPO market, an engine of job growth, stalls

By Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Two companies with quirky names, Ubiquiti Networks and Zeltiq Aesthetics, made their public debuts earlier this month with listings on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Each companys stock went up modestly on the rst day of trading. Ubiquiti pocketed $106 million for the day, and Zeltiq made $91 million. They were the most successful stock debuts of

the past two months. Then again, they were the only stock debuts of the past two months. The market for initial public offerings, or IPOs, is suffering through a drought of Texas proportions. Companies thinking of going public are deciding its just too risky. The stock market lost nearly 20 percent of its value in a month this past summer. Swings of 200 points for the Dow Jones industrial average continue to be commonplace. Getting the timing wrong for a coming-out party can mean

missing out on millions of dollars. A dried-up IPO market matters because stock debuts arent just a chance for tech whizzes to become overnight billionaires and ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Companies use the cash they raise to grow and that means hiring people. And at a time when 14 million Americans are looking for work and the unemployment rate has been stuck near 9 percent for two years, the last thing the economy needs is for one engine of hiring to stall.

Business brief
Oracle to buy RightNow for $1.5 billion
NEW YORK Software company Oracle Corp. said Monday that it is buying RightNow Technologies Inc. for about $1.5 billion so it can offer a broader range of software and services that help businesses manage customer service. Oracle is offering $43 per share for the tech service company from Bozeman, Mont. That is a 19.6 percent premium over RightNows closing price of $35.96 on Friday. On Monday, RightNows stock rose $6.98, or 19.4 percent, to close Monday at $42.94.

NEW YORK Strong demand for construction and mining equipment should boost Caterpillar Inc.s revenue through next year, even as the health of global economy remains in doubt. The companys optimistic forecast followed double-digit growth in third-quarter earnings and revenue, which it reported Monday. The robust quarter and outlook lifted the stock price of the Peoria, Ill.based company by nearly 5 percent, a much bigger gain than the broader market. Sales and earnings at the company, the worlds largest maker of construction and

mining equipment, give insight into growth and investment around the world. Caterpillar, which makes everything from black-and-yellow excavators and harvesters to diesel-electric locomotives, earned $1.14 billion, or $1.71 per share, between June and September. That was up 44 percent from $792 million, or $1.22 per share, a year earlier. Revenue surged 41 percent to $15.72 billion, and demand for machinery came from across the globe. Developing nations continued to need construction equipment as their economies prosper, while developed countries, whose growth is weak, are replacing older equipment.

Oaks benefitting from local connections

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Ask any soccer coach on the Peninsula. There is a lot of talent playing around here. Not all of it may be Division I caliber, but there is denitely college-level talent. Menlo College mens soccer coach Mike Keller knows it better than most. A longtime Peninsula xture, Keller has tapped into his local knowledge from his coaching staff to the players on the roster to help lead the Oaks to the brink of a spot in the playoffs. I think were at where we want to be right

now, said Keller, who is in his second year with the program. Its denitely been a quick turnaround. But at the same time, we feel with the quality of kids, thats where we should be. Were meeting expectations with what we think we can do with the guys. Mike Keller The Oaks are riding a nine-game unbeaten streak and are undefeated in CalPac Conference play with a perfect 7-0 mark to go along with their 10-3-1 overall record. With three games left in the regular season, the

Oaks will need to capture the CalPac Conference championship to ensure a spot in the NAIA postseason tournament. They currently hold a onegame lead over Holy Names-Oakland with a regular-season nale against the Hawks looming Nov. 10. The winner of that match will more than likely earn the conferences automatic bid to the playoffs. Its Kellers local connections that have helped him compile an 18-10-4 mark in his nearly two seasons with the Oaks. A San Carlos native, Keller graduated from Serra in 1998 and attended and played at Caada College. He spent six years as assistant with the Colts, as well as two years as the head coach at San Mateo High School. He spent a

year at Academy of Arts University as an assistant under former Burlingame coach Dan Rosaia before taking over the Oaks program last season. He did not come alone. He brought with him Peninsula soccer legend Frank Mangiola, as well as former Terra Nova standout Jason Crist, as assistant coaches. Among the three of them, they have inroads to the Peninsula soccer scene no one else does. [Mangiolas] been there and done it all. He knows everybody, Keller said.

ndrew Hutchinson did not have the best time when he ran for the Sequoia cross country team from 2001 to 2005. Now, he has returned to his alma mater and has implemented a program based on fun and community that has the Cherokees rapidly rising. Essentially, he is providing the fun now as a coach that he never had as a high school runner. It was really about trying to get them to understand what it meant to be a cross country team, Hutchinson said. Ive had no higher goals other than improving every race. Last week at a Center Meet at the Crystal Springs course in Belmont, both the boys and girls teams set new school records for the fastest race by the team. The boys covered the course in a combined time of 86:56, breaking the previous mark set in 1980 by 32 seconds. That was good for a third-place nish out of 14 teams. The girls team has broken the school record twice this season. It was initially broken at the PAL League Meet Oct. 11 and re-broken last week at the Center Meet. The time of 107:50 was nearly two minutes faster than what the team had ran the week before. That time was good for a fth-place nish out of 10 teams. We knew we ran well, but I didnt know it was at a historical level, Hutchinson said. They boys all run under 17:35. Our goal is to break 18 minutes. To get all ve

ARLINGTON, Texas Mike Napoli hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the eighth inning against Marc Rzepczynski, and the Texas Rangers rallied from a two-run decit to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 on Monday night and take a 3-2 World Series lead. Solo home runs by Mitch Moreland in the third and Adrian Beltre in the sixth off Chris Carpenter sparked the Texas comeback. Michael Young doubled off loser Octavio Dotel leading off the eighth. Darren Oliver got the win in relief of C.J. Wilson, and Neftali Feliz nished for his sixth save of the postseason, striking out Albert Pujols as part of a double play when Allen Craig was caught stealing second. Colby Lewis starts Game 6 for the Rangers on Wednesday in St. Louis, trying to wrap up their rst title. Jaime Garcia starts for the Cardinals. After Youngs double, Beltre struck out and Nelson Cruz was intentionally walked. Dotel relieved Rzepczynski and David Murphy reached on an ineld single to load the bases and Napoli doubled to deep right eld, making it 4-2. Pujols drew three intentional walks, including a pass with two outs and none on in the seventh. The St. Louis slugger then nearly used his legs to put his team ahead. Pujols was running hard on a 3-2 pitch that Matt Holliday hit for a single to left-center. Pujols chugged around the bags and third base coach Jose Oquendo initially waved him home, only to put up a late stop sign. Would Pujols have been safe on shortstop Elvis Andrus wide throw to the plate? Maybe. But it became moot when Lance Berkman was intentionally walked to load the bases and David Freese ied out against Alexi Ogando. Beltre and Moreland hit solo home runs off Carpenter, helping Texas come back from an early 2-0 decit.

Harbaugh, 49ers back to work, prepare for Browns

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Braylon Edwards ran routes on his surgically repaired right knee during the 49ers bye week, giving coach Jim Harbaugh hope that the veteran wide receiver will be back for Sundays home game with the Cleveland Browns. Edwards is scheduled to return to practice Tuesday when the team reconvenes from improvement week, as Harbaugh puts it. Playing against the Browns became the goal after Edwards hurt his knee making a 21-yard catch on the 49ers third play from scrimmage in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Cowboys on Sept. 18 the teams lone defeat so far.

I watched him run and run routes, Harbaugh said Monday. Like I said, hopeful that hell come back tomorrow and good things will happen. Fullback Moran Norris, recovering from a broken left bula, also is set to Jim Harbaugh practice Tuesday. He stopped wearing a walking boot last Monday. Our wounds have almost healed and well know better on Tuesday when we get out there on the eld and practice, Harbaugh said. At 5-1, San Francisco is in a strong position to win the NFC West and end an eight-year

stretch without a winning record or playoff berth. The 49ers return from their off week with a three-game division lead over secondplace Seattle (2-4), which won the West with a 7-9 record last season. Arizona is 1-5 and St. Louis 0-6. Harbaugh doesnt allow himself let alone his players to think beyond the next game, though in the case of last week the coaches did look ahead to a tough November schedule and started those preparations. Some, a little, he said of the work toward next month. No elaboration. The Niners travel to Washington to face the Redskins next week, then come home to host the Giants and Cardinals on back-to-back Sundays, then theres that much-hyped

Thanksgiving Day sibling matchup against big brother and Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh back East. Jim Harbaugh will point to one thing when it comes to the teams impressive showing so far. The players. Those guys are fueling the start, he said. A lot of people have asked and wanted bullet points and things like that. We dont have any to give them. Harbaugh did take a little bit of downtime last week, catching his former players in No. 4 Stanfords 65-21 rout of Washington on Saturday along with several members of his coaching staff who made the jump with him from the Cardinal program to the NFL earlier this year.

Bye week comes at good time for Raiders

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders bye week is coming at just the right time. With new quarterback Carson Palmer still trying to shake off the rust and learn a new offense and new teammates and star running Darren McFadden and other key players nursing injuries, the Raiders can sure use this time to regroup from a 28-0 loss to Kansas City and get back on track with two big division games on the horizon. The focus this week will be on getting Palmer up to speed with the offense in time to take over the starting role Nov. 6 against Denver. He threw three second-half interceptions in Sundays loss, just ve days after ending his retirement to join the Raiders in a trade from Cincinnati. This is something that I denitely think we need, receiver Jacoby Ford said. Were going to have to work hard and get good with him. Just to get the timing down and be here with him. While bye weeks are often used to rest the body and refresh the mind, the Raiders have plenty of work planned for the week in order to get Palmer acclimated. They will hold practices on Tuesday and Wednesday before taking an

NFL-mandated four days off. But instead of leaving town for the weekend, the receivers, tight ends and running backs are all planning to stick around to get some informal work in with Palmer. We know we need to be here, and were going to be here, receiver Derek Hagan said. For us to get on the same page and get this thing clicking again, its obviously going to take more of an effort from us to put more time in just to make sure were doing those little things right. Palmer was sitting at home a week ago as the Raiders were guring out how to move on after losing starting quarterback Jason Campbell to a broken collarbone. Oakland ended up trading for Palmer, sending a 2012 rst-round pick and a conditional second-rounder in 2013 to Cincinnati. Palmer had his rst practice in more than nine months on Wednesday and got about 20 percent of the rst-team snaps during the week before replacing an ineffective Kyle Boller in the third quarter against the Chiefs. Palmer completed his rst pass, but mostly struggled. He nished 8-for-21 for 116 yards and threw three interceptions, including one that Brandon Flowers returned for a touchdown.

That was kind of like a preseason game for him, because obviously he hadnt played in a game in quite a while, coach Hue Jackson said. I think it was very beneficial and will serve us well as we continue to move forward. Palmer nished with his Carson Palmer third-worst completion percentage, tied for his second-most interceptions and his 17.3 passer rating was the second lowest of his career. He has quite a bit of work to do to get back to the level of play the Raiders are expecting, but Palmer believes that with the bye he can do it in time for the next game. Two weeks is enough time to be where I need to be, and Im going to get everything I can out of these guys, he said. I understand that its a bye week for these young receivers, and its time to get away a little bit, just let your mind go somewhere else because hopefully theres a long road ahead of us. But its also time to get some work done, get that timing and rhythm and get going. McFadden wont be partaking in this weeks workouts. The NFLs leading rusher entering

the game managed just two carries for 4 yards and one short reception before leaving after the second drive with a sprained right foot. McFadden was on crutches and had a walking boot Monday. Jackson said the plan was to rest McFadden this week anyway. Were going to have the foot looked at and make sure structurally that its OK, Jackson said. Well take a great look at it as we go through this week. Im hoping to get him back soon. Even though backup Michael Bush gained 99 yards on 17 carries in McFaddens place, the Raiders can ill afford to be without their most dynamic offensive player if they want to compete in the AFC West. Middle linebacker Rolando McClain, who has been nursing a sprained left ankle the past few weeks, left the game for a stretch and was visibly limping when he returned. He also had on a walking boot Monday. Tight end Kevin Boss also was knocked out with a concussion and safety Matt Giordano had neck spasms. The Raiders hope the time off will help all of those players heal, as well as cornerbacks Chris Johnson (groin, hamstring) and Chimdi Chekwa (hamstring), fullback Marcel Reece (ankle) and kicker Sebastian Janikowski (left hamstring).

Jacksonville turns tables on Baltimore

Jaguars 12, Ravens 7

Stepping into the national spotlight for a few hours, the Jaguars used their best defensive effort in ve years to slow down Ray Rice, Joe Flacco and Co. Jacksonville (2-5) didnt allow a rst down until the 5:26 mark of the third quarter, a mix of stout defense and inept offense. Flacco nally got the Ravens (4-2) on the scoreboard with a little more than two minutes remaining.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. On one night, on one big stage, the Jacksonville Jaguars did everything better than the Baltimore Ravens. Maurice Jones-Drew ran for 105 yards against the NFLs best run defense, Josh Scobee kicked four eld goals and the Jaguars snapped a ve-game slide with a 12-7 victory over the Ravens on Monday night.

He capped a 90-yard drive with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin. The Ravens failed to recover an onside kick when the ball bounced inches short of going the required 10 yards. Scobee followed with his third eld goal of at least 50 yards. Baltimore had a nal possession, but in tting fashion, Jacksonvilles defense came up big. Drew Coleman stepped in front of Ed Dickson and intercepted Flaccos nal pass. The Ravens nished with 146 total yards.

The Jaguars had 205. The Jaguars set a franchise record by allowing only 16 yards in the rst half, including 1 yard passing by Flacco, who was under relentless pressure for much of the night. Baltimore nally got a rst down on its 28th play of the game when Rice broke off a 12yard run. That was only the second play longer than 10 yards for the Ravens, although they picked up two more rst downs on the drive.

NCAA weighing $2,000 payments to athletes

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON NCAA President Mark Emmert backed a proposal to allow conferences to increase grants to student athletes by $2,000, to more closely approach the full cost of attending college, beyond the athletic scholarships athletes receive for tuition, fees, room, board and books. Emmert told the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics on Monday that the proposal will be nalized this week and hell ask the NCAA Division I Board of Directors to support it at their meeting Thursday. He noted that student ath-

letes have limited opportunities to work outside the classroom and playing elds, and that the current model of athletic scholarship hasnt changed for 40 Mark Emmert years. Emmert says hell also ask the board to allow colleges and universities to provide multiyear grants, instead of year-to-year scholarships. We are going to create a model that would allow probably ... up to

$2,000 in addition to tuition, fees, room and board, books and supplies. Emmert said he expected all of the Bowl Championship Series conferences to adopt it at least those six that get automatic bids to BCS bowl games because they have the revenue stream to afford it. Will schools underneath that? he asked. I dont know. So you dont want to put a conference or a school in a position with a mandatory expense, and the only way to pay for it is to cut scholarships. One university president on a later panel said he opposed the proposal. Boise State president Robert Kustra

urged supporters of the plan to look at the support that Division I student athletes receive, and compare it to the rest of our students, who are making minimum wage, collecting tips, trying to nd their way into their next semester at the university ... Go back and examine the life of a student athlete in intercollegiate sports in America today, and see how privileged they are to be where they are and the opportunities they have. Kustra also warned that the proposal will give some schools a competitive advantage over others. You just heard President Emmert say that some conferences will, some

conferences wont. Well gee, I wonder who will, and I wonder who wont, he said to laughter. I think I know the answer to that. The haves will, and the have-nots will try Ill try but many will not be able to. And so what youre doing, then, is fueling a little bit more of this BCS/anti-BCS debate. Bosie State belongs to the Mountain West Conference, which does not receive an automatic bid to a BCS bowl game. Another panelist, LSU Chancellor Michael Martin, said in an interview after the meeting that he was undecided on the proposal. board, the catchers bid for a three-run homer was caught on the warning track in right-center eld, just shy of the 407-foot mark. The homer let Wilson avoid becoming the rst pitcher to lose four times in a single postseason. The eccentric lefty who alternates red and blue gloves between starts had another uneven outing, working around ve walks. Wilson walked six while losing Game 1 to Carpenter and the Cardinals. Moreland atoned for some glove woes with a home run in the third, hitting a drive halfway up the second deck in right eld. The Cardinals scored twice in the second, cashing in two leadoff walks sandwiched around a wild pitch.

College athletes press NCAA reform SERIES

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

More than 300 major college football and mens basketball players are telling the NCAA and college presidents they want a cut of ever-increasing TV sports revenue to fatten scholarships and cover all the costs of getting a degree, with athletes picking up still more grant money when they graduate. The players from Arizona, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Purdue and UCLA have signed a petition asking the NCAA to realize its mission to educate and protect us with integrity. The National College Players Association, an athletes advocacy group, provided

The Associated Press with copies of the document for release Monday. Players started sending the petition to the NCAA last week. The document urges the NCAA and college presidents to set aside an unspecied amount of money from what it estimates is $775 million in recently acquired TV revenues in an educational lock box for football and mens basketball players. Players could tap those funds to help cover educational costs if they exhaust their athletic eligibility before they graduate. And they could receive whats left of the money allocated to them with no strings attached upon graduating a

step that would undoubtedly be seen by some as professionalizing college sports. The issue of whether to pay college athletes has been getting increased attention at a time when athletic programs from Miami to Ohio State have endured a series of scandals involving impermissible benets to players. At the same time, athletic conferences have made lucrative, new television deals. The NCAA opposes paying athletes, but players whose talents enable colleges and coaches to reap millions have been largely silent in the debate until now.

Beltre made it 2-all with two outs in the sixth, dropping to one knee after following through on a meaty cut. He connected on a big curve from Carpenter, who had easily handled Josh Hamilton and Young to start the inning. Beltres other homers this October came in a bunch. He hit three in a rst-round playoff game at Tampa Bay. Napoli almost gave Texas a cushion later in the inning. With the crowd standing and chanting his name as Nap-Oh-Lee ashed on the score-

harshest rules in golf. The revision was made by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, which issues the sports rules in conjunction with the USGA, the governing golf organization in the United States and Mexico. Beginning Jan. 1 and until 2015, players will not be punished if the ball moves after the address when it is known or virtually certain that he did not cause the ball to move. McIlroy was penalized in his nal round at the British Open at Royal St. Georges. McIlroy had little chance of winning and nished 25th, but the same cannot be said of Simpson during the nal round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in May. The American was leading by a shot and closing in on what would have been his rst title when his ball moved on the 15th green. After receiving a one-stroke penalty, he eventually lost in a playoff to compatriot Bubba Watson.

good network for us, thats for sure. The connections of the coaching staff have helped Keller turn over the roster quickly, as he and his staff has brought in all but one member of the team. Of the Oaks 34-member roster, 10 are from the Peninsula and 14 from the greater Bay Area. Eight are international players, as well as one player each from Hawaii and the Central Valley. The Oaks are led by Brazilian Matheus Barbosa, who scored a team-high seven goals. Right behind him is former Sacred Heart Prep standout Alex Vukic, who has six goals in nine games. Sam Zipperstein, a Gunn graduate, leads the squad in assists with seven. Other local products include Eric Angell and Alex Kunkel, both from Serra, Hugo Conchas (Woodside, Caada College), Dylan Crist (Terra Nova) and Enrique Ortiz (Menlo-Atherton). I thought there was an opportunity to do well at Menlo and no one had done it in a while, Keller said. Theres good talent in the area. There is a lot of good-level soccer [being played], not just on the Peninsula, but in the South Bay. We feel condent there are local guys who are good. Attracting local guys is an aim going forward.

guys (under the goal) was really impressive. Everyone had a good day on the same day. The Cherokees had three runners Manny Avila, Kevin Hill and Philip Barron all nished in the top 20, with Avila leading the way with a time of 17:05. The girls team had four of ve runners nish in under 22 minutes, led by Gaia Bouchard-Halls 20:59. These performances come on the heels of both the boys and girls teams qualifying for the Central Coast Section meet in 2010.

The Cherokees have come a long way since having only 12 runners on the team in 2007 to nearly 50 this season. Its one of those developments that has kind of taken off, Hutchinson said. The team has just grown by leaps and bounds. And these just arent kids who have no athletic ability. A large number of them are coming from other sports: baseball, swimming, badminton, soccer, wrestling. Not only are they realizing the benet of getting in shape for other sports, they are also experiencing success running. There is also the fact that there are no great expectations placed on the Sequoia runners. Unlike elite programs such as Carlmont, Half Moon Bay and Aragon, no one expects much

from the Cherokees. But when a team has as much fun as the Cherokees do and are willing to work for each other, it can only lead to more success. As the group gelled together they want to improve and get faster. It was almost like success was a byproduct. Theyre excited to come to practice. Theyre more willing to sacrice themselves for workouts. I want them to be successful, but its great to see that theyre still willing to sacrice.

Libyan leader seeking to calm West on Sharia fears

By Hamza Hendawi and Kim Gamel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRIPOLI, Libya After giving a speech that emphasized the Islamization of Libya, the head of the transitional government on Monday tried to reassure the Western powers who helped topple Moammar Gadha that the countrys new leaders are moderate Muslims. Just as in neighboring Tunisia and Egypt, Islamists have emerged from yet another Arab Spring uprising as the most powerful group in the country. How far they will go will be decided at the ballot box in Tunisia this week, in Egypt in November and in Libya within eight months. National Transitional Council leader Mustafa REUTERS A man searches for his relatives under a collapsed building after an earthquake in Ercis,near Abdul-Jalil said Sunday that Islamic Sharia law would be the main source of legislation, that the eastern Turkish city of Van. laws contradicting its tenets would be nullied, and that polygamy would be legalized.

HEALTH
Heart Association. Especially when theyre used on lower-risk people, you dont know how to make sense of the information. Yet up to half of patients diagnosed with heart disease apparently had normal levels of LDL cholesterol, and some doctors say particle testing might help find some of them sooner. For most people, the standard lipid profile is fine, says Dr. Michael Davidson of the University of Chicago. But I get referred people who said, My cholesterol was fine, why do I have heart disease? Were showing them, well, because your particle numbers sky high and they were not aware that was a problem. Davidson chaired a committee of the National Lipid Association which this month called the extra tests reasonable to assess which atrisk patients might need to start or intensify cholesterol treatment. That committees meeting was paid for by a grant from eight pharmaceutical companies, including some makers of particle tests. Cholesterol isnt the only factor behind heart disease. High blood pressure, smoking, obesity, diabetes or a strong family history of the disease can put someone in the highrisk category even if their cholesterol isnt a red ag. Some doctors also are testing for inammation in arteries that may play a role, too. On the cholesterol front, doctors have long focused on three key numbers: Total cholesterol should be below 200. An LDL or bad cholesterol level below 130 is good for healthy people, but someone with heart disease or diabetes should aim for under 100. For HDL, the good cholesterol that helps control the bad kind, higher numbers are better 60 is protective while below 40 is a risk. Where do particles come in? Scientists have long known that small, dense LDL particles sneak into the artery wall to build up and narrow blood vessels more easily than larger, ufer particles. While overall LDL levels usually correlate with the amount of particles in blood, they dont always, just as a beach bucket of sand may weigh the same as a bucket of pebbles but contain more particles.

Divide over when to use in-depth cholesterol tests

By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON For heart health, youre supposed to know your numbers: Total cholesterol, the bad LDL kind and the good HDL kind. But your next checkup might add a new number to the mix. More doctors are going beyond standard cholesterol counts, using another test to take a closer look at the bad fats a count of particles that carry LDL through the blood. Cardiologists are divided over the usefulness of that approach. Proponents contend it might help them spot at-risk patients that regular checks might miss, or get more information about how aggressively to treat them. But so far, guidelines from major heart organizations dont recommend these extra tests. Theyre pricier than regular cholesterol exams, although Medicare and many other insurers pay for them. And its not always clear what the results mean. I see a lot of people being confused, says Dr. Nieca Goldberg of New York University Langone Medical Center and the American

Mortgage-refi plan
Q:What is the program? A. The Home Affordable Renance Program, or HARP, was started in 2009.It lets homeowners renance their mortgages at lower rates. Borrowers can bypass the usual requirement of having at least 20 percent equity in their home. But few people have signed up. Many underwater borrowers those who owe more than their homes are worth couldnt qualify under the program. Roughly 22.5 percent of U.S. homeowners,about 11 million,are underwater,according to CoreLogic, a real estate data rm. As of Aug. 31, fewer than 900,000 homeowners, and just 72,000 underwater homeowners,have renanced through the administrations program.The administration had estimated that the program would help 4 million to 5 million homeowners. Q.Why did so few benet? A. Mainly because those whod lost the most in their homes werent eligible. Participation was limited to those whose home values were no more than 25 percent below what they owed their lender. That excluded roughly 10 percent of borrowers,CoreLogic says.In some hard-hit areas,borrowers have lost nearly 50 percent of their homes value. Another problem:Homeowners must pay thousands in closing costs and appraisal fees to renance. Typically, that adds up to 1 percent of the loans value $2,000 in fees on a $200,000 loan.Sinking home prices also left many fearful that prices had yet to bottom.They didnt want to throw good money after a depreciating asset. Or their credit scores were too low. Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan acknowledged that the program has not reached the scale we had hoped. Q:What changes is the administration making? A. Homeownerseligibility wont be affected by how far their homes value has fallen. And some fees for closing, title insurance and lien processing will be eliminated. So renancing will be cheaper. The number of homeowners who need an appraisal will be reduced,saving more money. Some fees for those who renance into a shorter-term mortgage will also be waived.Banks wont have to buy back the mortgages from Fannie or Freddie, as they previously had to when dealing with some risky loans.That change will free many lenders to offer renance loans.The program will also be extended 18 months,through 2013. Q:Whos eligible? A. Those whose loans are owned or backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac,which the government took control of three years ago. Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee about half of all U.S. mortgages nearly 31 million loans. They buy loans from lenders, package them into bonds with a guarantee against default and sell them to investors.To qualify for renancing, a loan must have been sold to Fannie and Freddie before June 2009. Homeowners can determine whether their mortgage is owned by Fannie or Freddie by going online: Freddies loan tool is at freddiemac.com/mymortgage; Fannies is at fanniemae.com/loanlookup.Mortgages that were renanced over the past 2 1/2 years arent eligible. Homeowners must also be current on their mortgage.One late payment within six months, or more than one in the past year, would mean disqualication. Perhaps the biggest limitation on the program: Its voluntary for lenders. A bank remains free to reject a renancing even if a homeowner meets all requirements. Q:Will it work? A.For those who can qualify,the savings could be signicant. If,for example,a homeowner with a $200,000 mortgage at 6 percent can renance down to 4.5 percent,the savings would be $3,000 a year.But the benet to the economy will likely be limited.Even homeowners who are eligible and who choose to renance through the government program could opt to sock away their savings or pay down debt rather than spend it.

OBAMA
Continued from page 1
Later in the week, Obama plans to announce measures to make it easier for college graduates to pay back federal loans. Such executive action allows Obama to address economic ills and other domestic challenges in spite of Republican opposition to most of his proposals. While Obama has proposed prodding the economy with payroll tax cuts and increased spending on public works and aid to states, he has yet to offer a wholesale overhaul of the nations housing programs. Economists point to the burst housing bubble as the main culprit behind the 2008 nancial crisis. Meanwhile, the combination of unemployment, depressed wages and mortgages that exceed house values has continued to put a strain on the economy. While the White House tried to avoid predicting how many homeowners would benet from the revamped renancing program, the Federal Housing Finance Agency estimated an additional 1 million people would qualify. Moodys Analytics say the gure could be as high as 1.6 million. Under Obamas proposal, homeowners who are still current on their mortgages would be able to renance no matter how much their home value has dropped below what they still owe. Now, over the past two years, weve already taken some steps to help folks renance their mortgages, Obama said, listing a series of measures. But we can do more. At the same time, Obama acknowledged that his latest proposal will not do all thats not needed to get the housing market back on its feet. Given the magnitude of the housing bubble, and the huge inventory of unsold homes in places like Nevada, it will take time to solve these challenges, he said. In spelling out the plan to homeowners in a diverse, working-class Las Vegas neighborhood, Obama chose a state that provides the starkest example of the toll the housing crisis has exacted from Americans. One in every

118 homes in the state of Nevada received a foreclosure notice in September, the highest ratio in the country, according to the foreclosure listing rm RealtyTrac. Presidential spokesman Jay Carney criticized Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for proposing last week while in Las Vegas that the government not interfere with foreclosures. Dont try to stop the foreclosure process, Romney told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Let it run its course and hit the bottom. That is not a solution, Carney told reporters on Air Force One. He said Romney would tell homeowners, Youre on your own, tough luck. The president also was using his visit to Las Vegas to promote a $15 billion neighborhood revitalization plan contained in his current jobs proposal that would help redevelop abandoned and foreclosed properties and stabilize affected neighborhoods. The Nevada stop was the rst leg of a threeday tour of Western states, blending his pitch for boosting the economy with an aggressive hunt for campaign cash. From Nevada, Obama will head for the glamor of Hollywood and the homes of movie stars Melanie Grifth and Antonio Banderas and producer James Lassiter for some highdollar fundraising. On Tuesday, he will tape an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He will also raise money in San Francisco and in Denver. Before the president addressed his mortgage renancing plan, he attended a fundraiser at the luxurious Bellagio hotel, offering a sharp contrast between well-to-do who are fueling his campaign and the struggling homeowners hoping to benet from his policies. The mortgage assistance plan by the Federal Housing Finance Agency will help borrowers with little or no equity in their homes, many of whom are stuck with 6 or 7 percent mortgage rates, to seek renancing and take advantage of lower rates. The FHFA plans to remove caps that had allowed homeowners to renance only if they owed up to 25 percent more than their homes are worth. The renancing program is being extended until the end of 2013. It was originally scheduled to end in June 2012. employees a cost of $410,000 annually. Meeting that cost will require cuts to other city departments or could require a separate tax funded through the community. City Council candidate Wayne Lee started an online petition to maintain citys department without contracting it out. So far more than 100 people have signed on. Partnering with another agency was bounced around, however no possible partners emerged. Millbrae and San Bruno began sharing Telford in 2010. The one-year contract called for sharing the costs of his contract.

Local reactions
Finally, relief for the middle class families of America! I applaud the FHFA for taking bold and needed action.I and many of my colleagues had appealed directly to Mr. DeMarco, the head of FHFA, to take these actions to renance middle class America, and he has responded.In particular,the decision not to put a cap on the loan-to-value ratio that is eligible to be renanced via a xed rate mortgage will mean that potentially millions of homeowners will be eligible. Given that Fannie and Freddie are owned by taxpayers,this decision is a win for them as well. There are reduced odds of losses from the guarantees issued by these two agencies, and there is no cost to taxpayers because Fannie and Freddie will fund this renancing activity through new bonds. If the wave materializes, it could also help to stabilize the housing market in neighborhoods where renancing occurs frequently, and could potentially put thousands of dollars into the pockets of a strapped homeowner who renances. All in all,I only wish that this process could begin immediately,but I understand that banks arent set up to handle a wave of applicants. Hopefully, competition between lenders will force them to participate in this new program and drive them to get set up rapidly. U.S.Rep.Jackie Speier,D-San Mateo The president took a positive rst step today to help address the catastrophic housing situation in the country. Its not enough though. Up to a million families nationally could be helped, but there are two million underwater homeowners in California alone. We need meaningful principal reductions on a large scale. Its time to implement a Homeowners Bill of Rights that ends dual-tracking and creates a single point of contact for borrowers.The size and scope of this housing crisis requires us to think big.Our nations economy simply will not recover until the crisis of foreclosures is over. U.S.Rep.Anna Eshoo,D-Palo Alto

MILLBRAE
Continued from page 1
Mayor Dan Quigg commented that the proposals were not using the same data in terms of overtime costs. The citys current annual budget for the department is $4.258 million. One of the issues with keeping its own department is cost. Over the last 10 years, the department

has gone from 38.5 full-time equivalent employees to 29.75, Telford wrote in a staff report. The reduction includes six fewer police ofcers and two fewer police lieutenants. The sheriffs proposal included 16.32 FTEs including its own police chief. The $4.09 million plan allows for Millbraes sworn personnel to be accepted into the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce after a background check. Should the city want to maintain its own department, Telford suggested increasing stafng levels by 2.5 full-time equivalent

Last year, the cities jointly commissioned Municipal Resource Group, LLC to study further options for sharing police services. According to the analysis, a shared service model was not viable due to limited or nonexistent scal savings. Town Hall meetings will be held 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1 and 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Chetcuti Community Room, 450 Poplar Ave., Millbrae. The City Council will discuss the topic at its Nov. 15 meeting.

BPA in pregnant Demise of long-term care plan leaves gap women might affect children
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Exposure to the chemical bisphenol-A before birth could affect girls behavior at age 3, according to the latest study on potential health effects of the compound used in the manufacturing of some plastic drink bottles and food can linings. Preschool-aged girls whose mothers had relatively high urine levels of BPA during pregnancy scored worse but still within a normal range on behavior measures including anxiety and hyperactivity than other young girls. The results are not conclusive and experts not involved in the study said factors other than BPA might explain the results. The researchers acknowledge that considerable debate remains about whether BPA is harmful, but say their ndings should prompt additional research. The researchers measured BPA in 244 Cincinnati-area mothers urine twice during pregnancy and at childbirth. The women evaluated their children at age 3 using standard behavior questionnaires. Nearly all women had measurable BPA levels, like most Americans. But increasingly high urine levels during pregnancy were linked with increasingly worse behavior in their daughters. Boys behavior did not seem to be affected. The researchers said if BPA can cause behavior changes that could pose academic and social problems for girls already at risk for those difculties. These subtle shifts can actually have very dramatic implications at the population level, said Joe Braun, the lead author and a research fellow at Harvards School of Public Health. For every 10-fold increase in mothers BPA levels, girls scored at least six points worse on the questionnaires. The study was released online Monday in Pediatrics. Linda Birnbaum, director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Toxicology Program, said the study contributes important new evidence to a growing database which suggests that BPA exposure can be associated with effects on human health. Grants from that federal agency helped pay for the study. The Food and Drug Administration has said that low-level BPA exposure appears to be safe. But the agency also says that because of recent scientic evidence, it has some concern about potential effects of BPA on the brain and behavior in fetuses, infants and small children. The FDA is continuing to study BPA exposure and supports efforts to minimize use in food containers. BPA has many uses, and is found in some plastic bottles and coatings in metal food cans. It was widely used in plastic baby bottles and sippy cups but industry phased out that use.

WASHINGTON Its the one major health expense for which nearly all Americans are uninsured. The dilemma of paying for long-term care is likely to worsen now that the Obama administration pulled the plug on a program seen as a rst step. The Community Living Assistance Services and Supports program, or CLASS, was included in the health overhaul law to provide basic long-term care insurance at an affordable cost. But nancial problems dogged it from the outset. Those concerns prompted the administration to announce that CLASS would not go forward. Yet it could take a decade or longer for lawmakers to tackle the issue again, and by then the retirement of the Baby Boomers will be in full swing. Most families dont plan for longterm care. Often the need comes unexpectedly: an elder takes a bad fall, a teen is calamitously injured in a car crash or a middle-aged worker suffers a debilitating stroke. Nursing home charges can run more than $200 a day and a home health aide averages $450 a week, usually parttime. Yet Medicare doesnt cover longterm care, and only about 3 percent of adults have a private policy. Long-term care is a critical issue, and people are in total denial about it, said Bill Novelli, former CEO of AARP. I am very sorry the administration did what they nally did, although I under-

stand it. It is going to take a long time to get this back and xed. The irony, experts say, is that paying for long-term care is the kind of problem insurance should be able to solve. It has to do with the mathematics of risk. Most drivers will have some kind of accident during their years behind the wheel, but few will be involved in a catastrophic wreck. And some very careful drivers will not experience any accidents. The risks of long-term care are not all that different, says economist Harriet Komisar of the Georgetown University Public Policy Institute. A small percentage of people are going to need a year, two years, ve years or more in a nursing home, but for those who do, its huge, Komisar said. Insurance makes sense when the odds are small but the nancial risk is potentially high and unaffordable. Komisar and her colleagues estimate that nearly seven in 10 people will need some level of long-term care after turning 65. Thats dened as help with personal tasks such as getting dressed, going to the toilet, eating, or taking a bath. Many of those who need help will get it from a family member. Only 5 percent will need ve years or more in a nursing home. And three in 10 will not need any long-term care assistance at all. For those who do need extended nursing home care, Medicaid has become the default provider, since Medicare only covers short-term stays for rehab. But Medicaid is for low-income people, so the disabled literally have to impoverish themselves to qualify, a wrenching experience for families.

is a step in the right direction, Lieberman told the Daily Journal yesterday. The current rates are too rich, he said. The city developed the second tier of rates with the support of the Belmont Police Ofcers Association in light of the citys economic position, according to the staff report. Belmont established a second tier of CalPERS benets for its reghters earlier this year and is currently negotiating with CalPERS to amend that contract, Dino said. Tonight, the council will hear the rst reading of an ordinance to begin the process of amending the citys contract with CalPERS. Mayor Coralin Feierbach approves of the changes. We have to change because we have to balance the budget. It is the right thing to do, Feierbach said. The changes will affect new police personnel hired after Jan. 2, 2012. Current and future police hired on or before eral times and kept her inside. A witness at a nearby 7-Eleven called 911, alerting a deputy sheriff who spotted the car on State Route 92. The deputy reported seeing Valdez grab his grandmothers hair and slam her head against the passenger window several times before he was able to stop the car. The woman jumped from the vehicle, yelling for help, according to the Jan. 1, 2012 will receive the current 3 percent at 50 benets package. Although there will be no immediate employer contribution rate impact from the amendment, the citys normal cost will gradually decrease as the number of employees covered under the new 3 percent at 55 increases. The ultimate savings is projected by CalPERS to be approximately 2.5 percent of the new 3 percent at 55 tier scal year payroll, according to the staff report. The city just recently reached a three-year contract agreement with the BPOA that freezes wages and requires ofcers to contribute more toward their pension plans. The new contract calls for all ofcers to pay 3 percent more of their salary toward CalPERS benets starting in year three. The current rate is 9 percent. This contract strikes a balance between fairly compensating police ofcers while enabling the city to meet its goals of lessening the costs deputys report. The deputy also reported finding .05 grams of heroin in the cars central console. The woman told authorities Valdez never hit her and did not want her grandson arrested, Wagstaffe said. Defense attorney Rachel Valdez was unavailable for comment. At the time of his arrest, Valdez had several

of pensions and other employee benets over time, Councilwoman Christine Wozniak wrote in an email to the Daily Journal. For current employees, retirement benets will be paid on the 3 percent at 50 rate based on the single highest year nal compensation period. New hires will receive the 3 percent at 55 rate based on the highest three-year average nal compensation period. New ofcers will receive an annual pension equal to three times the number of years they have served until they turn 55. An ofcer with the 3 percent at 55 rate who worked 20 years by the age of 55 will earn a pension that is 60 percent of their salary. This will also lessen the citys cost of future pensions of second tier employees over time, Wozniak wrote in the email. The council meets 7:30 p.m., tonight, City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane, Belmont. prior run-ins with the law. He was convicted twice of driving on a suspended drivers license and once for driving while intoxicated. He was acquitted of misdemeanor domestic violence and a 2009 misdemeanor battery case was dropped by the District Attorneys Ofce in the interest of justice.

percent at 50. In the past six years, the percentage of the citys payroll paid to the California Public Employees Retirement System has increased from 29.3 percent in 2005 to 35.1 percent this current scal year, according to a staff report from Human Services Director Corazon Dino. Councilman Warren Lieberman calls the move a necessity. The old rates were set when the economy was doing better, Lieberman said, and public ofcials who approved the 3 percent at 50 package may not have known how expensive it would be. Even 3 percent at 55 is still very generous. Im not sure 3 percent at 55 is sustainable, but it
