Mayors to HSR: Hit ‘reset’

Local officials urging rail authority to put alignments back on the table
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Now that the lion’s share of early
federal funding has been commit-
ted to the Central Valley for con-
structing a high-speed rail system,
local officials are asking the
California High-Speed Rail
Authority to hit the “reset” button
on its plans for the Peninsula.
Palo Alto Mayor Pat Burt
and Burlingame Mayor
Terry Nagel are seeking
support from other city
officials to urge the rail
authority to put alignments
back on the table, including
tunneling, that were eliminated
from the alternatives analysis docu-
ment released in August.
Burt and Nagel sent a
letter to the mayors of all
cities on the Caltrain
corridor yesterday seek-
ing support to demand
an independent ridership
study of high-speed rail,
an independent review of the
budget and business plan, a discus-
sion about freight, restoring align-
ments that cities prefer and a more
thorough vetting of alternatives
before the draft environmental
impact report goes forward.
The two are looking to unify local
officials to form a “common vision”
for the region’s future transportation
needs.
Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Anna
Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, recognizes that
cities and states across the country
are competing for the same federal
dollar for transportation projects as
the Peninsula.
“A point of unification could be
around Caltrain. Electrification of
Caltrain needs to be done and HSR
money can be used to achieve it,”

Long before most people wake

frenzied shoppers will scour local
malls and stores in the predawn

promotions in what has become one
of the busiest shopping days of the
year — Black Friday.
Drawing its name from the idea
that many stores go into the black,

Black Friday prices will bring shop-
pers, and their wallets, into the
stores.
Linda Asbury, head of the San
Mateo Chamber of Commerce, said
shoppers seem to be feeling better
and more willing to spend, some-
thing retailers are taking advantage
of by spreading sales out across the
holiday season.
“I think Black Friday is a way to
get started, to get into the spirit,”
said Asbury. “It’s not just a way to
go in and get all your shopping done
that.”
For many people, Black Friday is
a tradition, one that requires strate-
gizing and sleuthing weeks in
advance.
Many retailers, particularly large
chain stores, plan to offer extended
hours and sales on Nov. 26. While
few discuss the specific details
about which items they plan to dis-

Former police dispatcher
postpones forgery trial
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The former San Carlos police dispatcher previously con-
victed of stealing friends’ credit cards will stand trial in May
on allegations she faked a judge’s signa-
ture on a restraining order to keep her
children’s father from contacting them.
Carolyn Jean Crowley, 40, was sup-
posed to stand trial Dec. 13 on felony
charges of forgery and keeping children
from a custodial parent. On Tuesday,
Crowley waived her right to a speedy trial
and it was postponed until May.
Crowley is accused of forging Judge
Carolyn
Beth Freeman’s name on an alleged
Crowley
restraining order against the father of her
young twins to keep their Redwood City school from allow-
ing him contact. The alleged fraud was discovered after the
man contacted the District Attorney’s Office which deter-
mined the order was fake and contained the forged signature.
Freeman was out of state on the date listed on the order.
At the time of her arrest in this case, Crowley was on felony
probation for a 2008 conviction of burglary and identity theft.
Crowley reportedly stayed with several friends after becoming
addicted to drugs and during that time stole credit cards which
she used for 20 unauthorized purchases. She was sentenced to
eight months in jail.
Crowley remains in custody in lieu of $25,000 bail on the
new case and a no-bail probation hold.

Pimp gets hearing in new case
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The convicted pimp and sex offender
now accused of selling the sexual serv-
ices of and abusing his disabled girl-
friend will learn next year if he’ll stand
trial on several felonies that could send
him to a prison for a decade.
Nicholas George Geranios, 27, is
charged with pimping, pandering,
causing abuse to a dependent adult,
felony domestic violence and misde-
meanor battery on a cohabitant. He has
pleaded not guilty and yesterday set a
preliminary date of Jan. 24. However,
he also was given a Jan. 10 appearance
date at which he will either confirm the
preliminary hearing or settle his case.
Geranios surrendered to South San
Francisco police Sept. 21 after they
issued a warrant for his arrest. The
mother of Geranios’ alleged victim
contacted South San
Francisco police in
mid-September after
she reportedly heard
him bragging about
beating and pimping
out her 21-year-old
daughter.
Prosecutors say

Geranios has fragile X syn-
drome, a genetic
mutation which causes mental retarda-
tion, and met Geranios online. After
dating a month, they moved in together
and the woman believed them to be
engaged. Geranios allegedly convinced
her to prostitute herself six times to
raise money and posted advertise-
ments. On one occasion, prosecutors
say he beat the woman during an argu-
ment.
Wednesday • Nov. 24, 2010 3
At the time of his most recent arrest,
Geranios was on parole for a December
2008 conviction for pimping out a
female co-worker at a Redwood City
auto body shop. He was sentenced to
three years prison and registration as a
sex offender. The prior felony convic-
tion makes Geranios eligible for eight
to 10 years in prison if convicted again.
In that case, Geranios posted an ad
on Craigslist to arrange a $250 tryst at
a local motel. After his arrest, authori-
ties said his cell phone contained
videos in which he speaks of his love
for pimping and a photo of a woman
labeled “LoveDisPimping,” police
reported. Police also reported Geranios
rented the Redwood City motel room
for the prostitute and had a box of 20
condoms in his possession.
Geranios remains in custody in lieu
of $150,000 bail.

County government
• The Board of Supervisors is set
to approve a memorandum of
understanding with Redwood City
for what is now known as the
Woodhouse Industrial Site, a
group of six land parcels on which
both jurisdictions want to locate a
new jail. The city has already approved its agreement. The
MOU does not commit the county financially yet; instead
it keeps the city committed until Dec. 27 and spells out the
conditions for future reimbursement.
At the same meeting, the board will consider allocating
$300,000 to fund staff for revamping how the county cre-
ates its budget. The county wants to shift to priority budg-
eting which begins with available resources rather than
last year’s budget and prioritizes proposals based on
means rather than wants. The request coming before the
board is to fund manpower for proposal writing, change

Union helped Whitman maid reveal her story
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The California Nurses
Association helped the illegal immigrant former
housekeeper of billionaire Meg Whitman make
her story public, a revelation that helped sink
the gubernatorial hopes of the former eBay
chief executive, according to a report published
Tuesday in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Nicky Diaz Santillan, whose story knocked
Whitman’s tightly orchestrated campaign off
message when she came forward in September,
reached out for help from the union because she
believed she was unfairly fired by Whitman, the
newspaper reported, citing people who were
close to the matter but would only speak if their
names were not used.
Diaz Santillan contacted a friend who knew a
member of the nurses union, according to the
Chronicle. The union then put the Mexican-
born housekeeper in touch with an immigration

The San Mateo County Elections office is

The letter included a handwritten note from

directing the housekeeper to check it out.
Whitman said she fired the maid when she

months after Whitman had formed an
exploratory committee to run for governor.
She blamed the campaign of Democratic Gov.-
elect Jerry Brown and his union supporters for
exposing her.

Nurses union executive director Rose Ann
DeMoro declined to comment Tuesday to the
Associated Press on whether the union helped
Diaz Santillan. But in an interview with the AP
and in a public letter addressed to Diaz
Santillan published last week, she praised the
illegal immigrant for her courage in coming
forward.
DeMoro said the union’s goal is to help
working women and advocate for those who
don’t have a voice.
“So it’s natural that if someone would come
to us for help, that we would help them,” she
said.
She said Diaz Santillan helped highlight “the
arrogance of wealth.” Whitman set spending
records in her race, giving her campaign $144
million from her personal fortune.
“It is really just a striking thing. She’s one of
the richest women in the world and (Diaz
Santillan is) someone who is essentially living
paycheck to paycheck on survival mode,”
DeMoro told the AP on Tuesday.
The election results will be certified
Monday, Nov. 29, said Elections Manager
David Tom.
The Board of Supervisors will accept the
results at a future board meeting.
The county elections office began the ardu-

Research monkey bites lab worker
MENLO PARK — A California research
facility is refusing to allow humane society
examination of a monkey that bit a lab worker.
Menlo Park’s SRI International on Monday
refused to allow examination of the monkey by

SRI International says in a statement that the
worker received a very minor injury to a finger
and she is OK and on the job.

donations for needy families starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec.
1 through Dec. 23.
“This year economy is especially slow and the need for toy
donations is high due to the number of unemployed parents,”
said Rich Seguine, San Mateo firefighter and chairperson of
the Toys for Tots program. Seguine adds that this year’s dona-
tions will “be new unwrapped toys to help families in need
this holiday season. Due to health concerns, we will no longer
be accepting used toys or stuffed animal of any kind.”
Toy donation barrels will also be available at a number of
events including 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Downtown Tree
Lighting on B Street in San Mateo; and 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Saturday, Dec. 4 at the pancake breakfast with Santa at Fire
Station 21 on Ellsworth Street. Firefighters are asking for a
donation of $5 for adults and $3 for kids for the pancake
breakfast.

TSA workers face a tough job
By Tamara Lush
and Sarah Brumfield
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — They’ve been
called molesters, threatened with
violence and ordered not to touch
“my junk.”
One woman headbutted a TSA
officer who was searching her lap-
top. Other screeners report being
punched, kicked and shoved during
pat-downs. Security officers know
the new searches are more invasive
but want Thanksgiving travelers to
keep in mind they are just doing
their jobs to keep people safe.
“We just want the public to under-
stand that we’re not perverts,” said
screener Ricky D. McCoy, who
heads a local TSA union for Illinois
and Wisconsin.
TSA chief John Pistole has heard
the complaints and seemed more
open to trying to balance safety with
invading people’s privacy with the
pat-downs.
“We are exploring again ways
that they might be less invasive and
yet with the same outcomes in terms
of detection, but that is really the
challenge that we have and that
dynamic tension between security
and privacy and reasonable people
can disagree as to exactly where
that blend is as it relates to you as a
passenger,” Pistole told reporters
Tuesday.
To be sure, most passengers are
docile when going through an air-
port’s security checkpoint, though
McCoy said the atmosphere has
changed in the past two weeks.
Last week, for instance, McCoy
explained the search to a passenger.
A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) worker, right, rubs a
passenger’s leg during a patdown search after going through a scanner
at Denver International Airport in Denver,Colo.
“The guy looked me straight in
the face and said, ‘I don’t know
what I might do to you if you touch
me,”’ said McCoy.
McCoy stared the man down and
told the passenger that touching an
officer would be the worst mistake
he’s ever made because authorities
would be called. The search went
smoothly.
“About 10 minutes later his wife
came back and apologized for what
he said,” McCoy said.
The new pat-downs began about a
month ago, and early on, an officer

was assaulted. Since the story made
headlines, McCoy said officers at
least six times have been punched,
pushed or shoved after they
explained what would be happen-
ing.
He blamed TSA for the uproar,
saying the agency didn’t reach out
to passengers enough.
“We have major problems
because basically TSA never edu-
cated the public on what was going
on,” McCoy said. “Our agency pret-
ty much just threw the new search
techniques out there.”
Lost in frenzy over searches,
holiday travelers hit roads
By Cristina Silva
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Michael
Sommermeyer’s Thanksgiving plan
goes like this: Load his wife and
children into their Ford Taurus, hand
his teens an iPad stocked with
movies and drive 15 hours — from
Las Vegas to Texas.
Sommermeyer would not have it
any other way.
Lost in the frenzy over new airport
inspections is the fact that 94 percent
of holiday travelers will reach their
destination by road this year. For
some, a snarled freeway and $3-a-
gallon gasoline is a welcome respite
from the madness of air travel.
“The full body scan, I am worried
about it because of the radiation,” he
said. “They claim it’s safe, but who
knows?”
Roughly 39.7 million will travel
by road this year, a 12 percent
increase from last Thanksgiving,
according to a AAA travel survey of
50,000 U.S. households conducted
during the week of Oct. 25.
With more people traveling for the
holiday this year than last, the num-
bers who chose to fly also went up.
Just over 1.62 million holiday travel-
ers are flying the skies, a 3.5 percent
increase from last year, AAA said.
AAA conducted its travel survey
before many groups began organiz-
ing protests at airports against addi-
tional security procedures, including
Wednesday • Nov. 24, 2010 7
the body scan machines and a more
rigorous, intrusive pat-down process.
When they do travel, families are
not straying far from home. Those
who travel by car will drive roughly
816 miles over the holiday weekend.
Wednesday and Sunday are general-
ly the busiest days for air and road
travelers.
AAA attributes part of the
increase in travelers to people feel-
ing more confident about the econo-
my and, in some cases, taking
Wednesday and Friday off to make
the drive.
“The economy is being perceived
as turning around,” AAA spokesman
Michael Geeser said. “They think
things are better for themselves, so
maybe they are taking an extra day
off from work and making it a long
weekend.”
The average lowest round-trip air-
fare is expected to cost $176 for the
top 40 U.S. air routes, AAA report-
ed. Car rental rates, however, could
cost an average of $42 over the holi-
day weekend, down 4 percent from
last year.
Marie Johnston, 48, was traveling
with her parents from Glens Falls,
N.Y., to Columbus, Ohio, where her
daughter, a recent college graduate,
was hosting Thanksgiving in her
new house. She took three days’
vacation and scheduled an overnight
stop in Buffalo, N.Y., where her son
attends college, to break up the 10-
hour trip.

Economy sees growth
By Jeannine Aversa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The economy
grew a little faster over the summer than
the government first thought. That mod-
est pickup wasn’t nearly enough to sig-
nificantly lower the nation’s high unem-
ployment rate, and the Federal Reserve
doesn’t expect the economy to improve
much over the next couple of years.
The economy expanded at a 2.5 per-
cent annual rate in the July-September
quarter, the Commerce Department
reported Tuesday. That was up from the
2 percent pace initially estimated, and
better than the 1.7 percent growth rate in
the April-June quarter.
Stronger spending by U.S. shoppers
and better overseas sales of U.S. goods
were the main forces behind an upward
revision.
Still, the hiring picture hasn’t
improved much — even with U.S. com-
panies reporting their best quarterly
profits after taxes on records dating back
to 1947. After-tax profits climbed to
$1.22 trillion in the July-September
quarter, according to the Commerce
report.
The nation’s unemployment rate has
been stuck at 9.6 percent unemployment
rate for the past three months. The Fed’s
latest projections suggest that won’t
change much for a few years.
The Fed predicts roughly 2.5 percent
growth and between 9.5 percent and 9.7
percent unemployment for the rest of
this year. Those are both downgraded
forecasts from its June projections.
Job gains seens in 41 states
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Businesses and
other employers added jobs in 41 states
in October, the best showing in five
months, the Labor Department said
Tuesday.
The figures indicate the job market is
picking up a bit in most parts of the
country. Even the nation’s hardest hit
states — Nevada and Michigan —
showed declines in their unemploy-
ment rates.
But the gains weren’t enough to
broadly reduce unemployment rates.
The Labor Department said the jobless
rate fell last month in 19 states,
remained the same in 17 and rose in
14. Unemployment can rise when jobs
are created if more people begin
Growth will strengthen over the next
three years, but not enough to bring
unemployment back down to more nor-
mal levels of around 5.5 percent to 6 per-
cent, according to the Fed’s forecasts. At
best, the Fed projects 3.6 percent growth
in 2011, and 4.5 percent growth in 2012
and 2013.
The latest Fed projections also suggest
no better than 8.9 percent unemploy-
ment next year, roughly 8 percent in the
2012 presidential election year and, at

“These numbers suggest we’ve stabi-
lized and started to show real improve-
ment,” said Anthony Chan, chief econ-
omist at JPMorgan Private Wealth
Management. “But we’re a long way
from crafting the ’Mission
Accomplished’ sign.”
The nation’s four worst-hit states all
reported some positive developments,
evidence that the economic downturn
is loosening its grip.
Nevada reported the first decline in
its jobless rate in nearly five years. The
state’s unemployment rate, the nation’s
highest, fell to 14.2 percent from 14.4
percent in September.
Michigan, with the nation’s second-
highest rate, said unemployment
declined to 12.8 percent from 13 per-
cent. That’s the first drop below 13 per-
cent in 19 months.
best, just under 7 percent for 2013.
Analysts generally say the economy
would need to grow 5 percent for a full
year to push down the unemployment
rate by a full percentage point.
The Fed’s acknowledged that progress
in reducing unemployment has been
“disappointingly slow.”
The housing market hasn’t fared much
better. The latest reading showed sales of
previously owned homes slipped slightly
in October.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Around the nation
Rig victims’ kin feel left out
JONESVILLE, La. — Roy Wyatt Kemp’s family is waiting
for his headstone, black marble engraved with the deer and
ducks he loved to hunt. The grave, however, lacks a body.
Seven months after the fateful Gulf of Mexico explosion that
triggered one of history’s worst environmental disasters, the
27-year-old rig worker’s family knows very little beyond the
fact that he never came home. Did he survive the initial blast?
Did he suffer? Could he have been saved?
“I wonder every day what happened to my son. I don’t think
it will ever leave me,” said his mother, Peggy.
Without a body, without answers and with only limited
financial and emotional support, Kemp’s family and relatives
of the 10 other workers who died on the BP-leased rig are left
to wonder whether the oil giant’s promise to “make things
right” applies to everyone but them.
From the small towns of central Mississippi to the cotton
fields of central Louisiana to the cattle farms of southern
Texas, relatives of the men, in interviews with the Associated
Press, bemoaned that so much of the public focus has been on
the oil spilled rather than the lives lost.
“There hasn’t been anybody associated with BP, Transocean
or any of them that has sat down and really tried to give you
their condolence and tell you what took place,” Peggy Kemp
said.
As criminal investigations, congressional hearings and fin-
ger-pointing mount, the families of the dead want detailed
explanations from BP and its partners of exactly how their
loved ones perished in the April 20 disaster that ultimately
spewed 170 million gallons of crude into the Gulf.
Storm that smacked
Northwest moves to Utah, Idaho
SALT LAKE CITY — A ferocious storm that crippled much
of the Pacific Northwest barreled into the Rockies on Tuesday,
causing whiteout conditions on one of the busiest travel days
of the year.
The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for
Utah, where Interstate 84 and Interstate 15 were temporarily
shut down in northern Utah because of windy, snowy condi-
tions that led two tractor-trailers to jackknife and block traffic.
Even once the roads were reopened, visibility was still very
limited there and elsewhere in the state as many commuters
made their way home on snow-covered roads.
Numerous schools, governments and businesses in Utah
closed hours earlier than normal Tuesday because of the storm,
with state traffic officials warning the evening commute could
take four times longer than usual.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Surviving the Season
T
omorrow is Thanksgiving
— the official beginning of
the holiday season —
Black Friday eve. Have you made
your Christmas gift list yet? Does
the thought of all that is involved in
the season leave you reeling?
Maybe in this time of recession
things are tight and you feel inse-
cure in your job. Even if you aren’t
into “Away in a Manger” or hang-
ing decorations all over the place
or if Santa is not part of your holi-
day scenario, this season can still
have an impact. Consider how all
those commercials that urge us to
buy and buy can contribute to the
angst.
Maybe you enjoy the festivities
because they distract you from
mundane cares and problems.
Could be that you look forward to
the lights, the gift giving and the
family get-togethers. But maybe
with all the alarming and depress-
ing world, national and local events
that have occurred in the past year,
you don’t feel in the mood for the
holiday festivities. Besides, what
are you going to get all those peo-
ple on your list that have every-
thing already?
Whatever our orientation to the
holidays, there are at least three
ways we can improve them greatly:
First, we can practice gratitude
(Thanks giving!). Though there is
much going on in our world, nation
and community that causes us to be
depressed and/or cynical, we can
relieve some of it by regularly
counting our blessings and feeling
and expressing gratitude for them.
‘Happiness is less a matter of
getting what we want and more a
matter of being satisfied with what we have.’
— David G.Myers,“The American Paradox”
We can be grateful for something
as important as family and friends
or as small as that beautiful rose in
the garden. Mindfully appreciating
such blessings on a regular basis
helps us become more optimistic,
more content and happier in gener-
al because we are emphasizing
what we have instead of what we
don’t have.
Suppose at a family get-together
we ask each person to name two
things that they are thankful for
that have nothing to do with pos-
sessions. This is especially good
for children who are constantly
bombarded with messages from our
culture that what we have is what
we are and that wealth is success.
We all need to be regularly remind-
ed that truly successful people are
those with the peace of mind that
comes with being honest, responsi-
ble, decent, kind and content with
what they have.
Next, simplify. One good way to
start is by tossing out or cutting
way down on that gift list and
donate all or some of the money
you would have spent otherwise to
deserving and reliable charities like
Second Harvest Food Bank, The
Salvation Army, St. Anthony’s
Foundation or some other good
cause that might help those in
OPINION
need. Or, you could use such sav-
ings to decrease your credit card
balance.
Many of us could live a good life
with a lot less than we have. In a
country that has 5 percent of the
world’s population and yet uses 25
percent of the world’s resources,
you’d think we’d be ashamed of
our materialism — much of which
has occurred because of our
assumption that we can buy happi-
ness, which has made us into well-
trained consumers. Even in this
time of recession, many of us are
wallowing in excess. If you give
some thought to how many people
in developing countries have to live
and you possess the least bit of
empathy and humility, you will feel
lucky and grateful — and spoiled.
Think Haiti!
Along with this goes the lower-
ing of expectations. It helps to give
up any delusion of holiday perfec-
tion that we may entertain. If the
turkey gets too done, so what? If
the flan flops, c’est la vie!
If the tree isn’t perfect, so be it.
Martha Stewart won’t be watching.
The time and energy saved can be
spent with people we love.
Third, try slowing down and
enjoying some healthy pleasures. A
walk in a beautiful area will get us
away from all the hype. So will
things like playing with a small
child or a pet, reading a really
interesting book, listening to beau-
tiful music, playing a game with
someone who enjoys it as much as
you do. Even better, we can do
something that would make life a
bit easier for someone else.
If we make it a point to get into a
more authentic spirit of
Thanksgiving and the holidays that
follow, we may begin 2011 in a
better state of mind than we expect.
It’s a matter of the choices we
make.

day is how to bring about a revolu-

High-speed rail opposition
Editor,
In his Nov. 17 letter to the editor,
“True support for high-speed rail,”
John Baker confuses the growing
ground swell of opposition to high-
speed rail on an elevated structure
with opposition to the concept of
HSR. Many voters may continue to
support the concept of HSR, but
only below ground, or in some loca-
tions at ground level. Virtually no
one supports HSR on an elevated
structure. These are not NIMBY
objections, but reaction to the mis-
leading presentations of HSR by the
HSR Authority. San Mateo
Councilman Robert Ross rightfully
represented residents at the rally

sive HSR elevated structure cutting

Editor,
In response to Mark Simon’s
remarks in “With SamTrans, safety
is first priority” in the Nov. 12 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, I noticed
that while Pico Boulevard has been
closed for one year and undergoing
safety review, SamTrans has repaved
the road, widened the entrance onto
Shoreway by paving some of the
gravel, erected a “dead end” sign
and added to the existing stop signs
at the gate of the SamTrans lot.
While it may be technically true
that “the preliminary review indi-
cates that Pico Boulevard does not
meet the minimum state standards
for a roadway serving through traf-
fic. It lacks appropriate signage,
including speed limit signs, lacks
adequate road width, lacks adequate
lighting, has no marked bike lane
and has no roadway markings to
direct traffic in a safe and effective
manner,” SamTrans misrepresents

NEW YORK — Stocks fell Tuesday
as a flare-up of tensions between North
and South Korea combined with down-
beat news on the economy gave
investors plenty of reasons to sell ahead
of the Thanksgiving holiday. The dollar
and gold rose as investors sought safe
places to park money.
North Korea and South Korea
exchanged artillery fire, killing at least
two South Korean marines. That came as
investors were already concerned that a
bailout of Ireland may not be enough to
contain Europe’s debt crisis. Borrowing
costs for Portugal and Spain rose, lead-
ing Spain to trim the size of a debt sale.
In the U.S., sales of previously-owned
houses dipped 2.2 percent in October.
Also, Federal Reserve officials became
more pessimistic and lowered their out-
look for economic growth for the next
year.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
142.21, or 1.3 percent, to 11,036.37.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 lost 17.11,
or 1.4 percent, to 1,180.73. The Nasdaq
composite index fell 37.07, or 1.5 per-
cent, to 2,494.95
Wall Street
The clash between North and South
Korea was one of the most dramatic
between the two rivals since the end of
the Korean war. Fifteen South Korean
soldiers and three civilians were injured
in the artillery exchanges.
The escalating tensions came shortly
after the reclusive North Korean regime
claimed to have a new uranium enrich-
ment facility and six weeks after the
country’s leader Kim Jong Il anointed
his youngest son as his heir apparent.
The showdown between the two coun-
tries raises tensions in Asia, but was seen
as less of an immediate danger in the
U.S. Traders said the showdown was
seen by many as an excuse to pare back
exposure to risk ahead of the
Thanksgiving holiday Thursday. Trading
is expected to be light Wednesday as
people leave early. Markets will be open
for an abbreviated session on Friday.
“Investors don’t want to go into the
holiday with any lingering doubts,” said
John Derrick, director of research for
U.S. Global Investors. “The tensions in
Korea just gave them another excuse to
sell.”
Hewlett-Packard Co. was the only one
among the 30 stocks that make up the
Dow Jones industrial average to rise.
Shares gained 2.2 percent after the tech-
nology company beat Wall Street’s
expectations for revenue and income
thanks to strong corporate spending.
Energy shares led the decline as the
price of crude oil fell. Chevron Corp. fell
2 percent, while ExxonMobil Corp. lost
1.7 percent.
A widening probe into insider trading
was still weighing on financial shares
Tuesday, a day after FBI agents raided
the offices of three hedge funds.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. was the worst-
performing major bank with a 2.3 per-
cent decline, followed closely by
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. with a 2 per-
cent fall.
In other gloomy news on the economy,
the Federal Reserve lowered its forecast
for growth through next year. In a report
releasing minutes from its last meeting
Nov. 3, the Fed predicted that the econo-
my will grow only 2.4 percent to 2.5 per-
cent this year. That’s down sharply from
a previous projection of 3 percent to 3.5
percent. Next year, the economy will
expand by 3 percent to 3.6 percent, the
Fed said, also much lower than its June
forecast.

Fed lowers outlook for economy

By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve
officials have become more pessimistic
in their economic outlook through next
year and have lowered their forecast for
growth.
The economy will grow only 2.4 per-
cent to 2.5 percent this year, Fed officials
said Tuesday in an updated forecast.
That’s down sharply from a previous
projection of 3 percent to 3.5 percent.
Next year, the economy will expand by 3
percent to 3.6 percent, the Fed said, also
much lower than its June forecast.
Fed officials project that unemploy-
ment won’t change much this year, aver-
aging between 9.5 percent and 9.7 per-
cent. The current unemployment rate is
9.6 percent. Progress in reducing unem-
ployment has been “disappointingly
slow,” the central bank said, according to
the minutes of its Nov. 2-3 meeting.
The darker view helps explain why the
Fed decided at its meeting earlier this
month to launch another round of stimu-
lus. The central bank plans to buy $600
billion in Treasury bonds over the next
eight months in an effort to lower inter-
est rates and spur more spending.
The Fed is slightly more optimistic
about 2012, in part because officials
expect the bond-buying program to have
a positive impact. The economy should
grow 3.6 percent to 4.5 percent that year,
a tick better than June’s forecast of 3.5
percent to 4.5 percent.
The economy will also grow 3.5 per-
cent to 4.6 percent in 2013, the central
bank said, the first time it has issued pro-
jections for that year.
The economic outlook was prepared at
the Fed’s meeting earlier this month and
released Tuesday. It reflects the views of
the Fed’s board of governors and its
regional bank presidents.
The jobless rate will be 8.9 percent to
9.1 percent in 2011, Fed officials pre-
dict. That’s much worse than June’s pro-
jection of 8.3 percent to 8.7 percent.

Jury orders SAP to

By Jordan Robertson

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal jury has ordered SAP to pay

$1.3 billion to its archenemy, Oracle, for stealing customer sup-
port documents and software in a scheme to steal customers.
Tuesday’s verdict came after less than a day of deliberations.
Oracle had been demanding billions of dollars for the theft.
SAP, which admitted that a subsidiary stole the documents,
claimed it owed just $40 million.

Gryphons win in sweep Gators

hardly
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

When volleyball teams get to the Northern

California tournament on the road to the state
championship game, there are no easy games.
All the teams left playing are either section

pushed
champions or runnerups so there is no ques-
tion all the teams are good.
But it was obvious early that as long as
Crystal Springs Uplands School played its
game and didn’t shoot itself in the foot, the
Gryphons simply had too much firepower for
Bradshaw Christian of Sacramento.
And despite some sloppy play in the second
game and portions of the third, the Gryphons
proved that theory by sweeping the visiting
Pride 25-14, 15-22, 25-19 in the Nor Cal
Division V tournament.
“I thought we played great,” said Crystal
Springs’ senior setter Megan Faulk, who fin-
ished with 34 assists, five kills and three serv-
ice aces. “We kind of pulled a Crystal in the
second game. I always wish we come out
three games straight and kill [the opposition].”
Crystal Springs coach Steve Cavella said
it’s been the Gryphons’ modus operandi to
play lights out in one game and then fall apart
in the next. So he wasn’t too nervous sitting
on the bench as his team went through a down
turn in Game 2.
“I’ve coached most of these girls for three
years,” Cavella said. “I have a pretty good idea
of when to call a timeout and when to let them
figure it out on their own.”
Game 1 saw Crystal Springs (23-9) blitz
Bradshaw Christian (25-18). The Pride stayed
close early, but with the Gryphons leading 8-
5, they went on a 13-4 run to take a com-
manding 21-9 lead. The Pride didn’t give up
without a fight, winning three straight points,
but Crystal Springs’ Christina Navarro punc-
tuated the game by scoring the final five
points.

Riding the momentum of a third straight
Central Coast Section championship and a
raucous home crowd Tuesday night, Sacred
Heart Prep’s girls volleyball swept aside the
Sutter Huskies in three sets — 24-14, 25-16,
25-9 — to once again advance in the Division
IV Northern California tournament.
While the result is similar to the last two
seasons, when the Gators went on to make the
NorCal semifinals, one thing is decidedly dif-
ferent: the roster.
The No. 2-seeded Gators lost seven seniors
from last year’s squad, making this year’s
late-season charge, for a team that finished
second in the Foothill Division of the West
Bay Athletic League, even more of a shock to
the Gators’ coaching staff.
“This team surprises me every time they
step on court,” Sacred Heart Prep coach
Damien Hardy said.
Juniors Sarah Daschbach (10 kills, three
aces) and Jesse Ebner (11 kills, eight blocks)
continued to lead their team in a variety of
ways, while sophomore outside hitter Sonia
Abuel-Saud continued to attack the ball
viciously at the net for 14 kills. The Gators

Huff stays with Giants for $22M, 2-year deal
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Aubrey
Huff took a short break to decom-
press after the World Series, then
wasted little time accomplishing his
offseason plan: re-signing with the
San Francisco Giants.
Huff is staying put with San
Francisco just as he’d hoped, agree-
ing to a $22 million, two-year con-
tract with the World Series champi-
ons Tuesday. The Giants matched a
similarly structured offer from
another club — knowing full well
Huff wanted to stay.
Huff receives $10 million in each
of the next two seasons, and the
Giants have a $10 million club
option for 2013 with a $2 million
buyout.
“We paid the piper, and you can’t
look back,” general manager Brian
Sabean said during a conference
call. “He was obviously underpaid
for what he did for us last year. ...
He certainly did his part and
received a just reward for it.”
Huff hit .290 with a team-leading
26 home runs and 86 RBIs while
playing in 157 games, then batted
.268 with one
homer and eight
RBIs in the
postseason as
the Giants won
their first title
since 1954.
He made it
clear he wanted
to return to San
Aubrey Huff Francisco, and
the Giants brass
said it wanted to keep him around
— so, no surprise a deal got done
quickly, less than a month after the
club beat the Texas Rangers in five
games to capture the city’s first
championship since moving West in
1958.
“You’d be an idiot not to want to
come back here. I love it,” Huff said
at the ballpark after the team’s vic-
tory parade Nov. 3.
The 33-year-old Huff reached the
playoffs for the first time in his 11-
year big league career in his first
SPORTS
year with the Giants. He hit a two-
run homer in a 4-0 Game 4 World
Series victory, then laid down his
first career sacrifice bunt in the
clincher.
San Francisco signed Huff — his
lucky red rally thong also certain to
come back in 2011 — to a $3 mil-
lion, one-year contract last January
to provide a boost in the middle of
the batting order. And the Giants got
it.
“He’s a loose character but he
doesn’t take himself too seriously.
He takes the game seriously,” man-
ager Bruce Bochy said. “He was
such an important piece of the club,
the puzzle as you may say this year,
what he brought to us hitting in the
No. 3 spot for the most part. You
don’t have very many players who
can do what Aubrey can do, play
first and the outfield and the left-
handed bat.”
The Giants were counting on Huff
returning to his 2008 form, when he
hit .304 with 32 homers and a
career-best 108 RBIs.
He certainly showed plenty of
improvement, not to mention versa-
tility playing both first and left field,
in bouncing back from a career-
worst .241 batting average in 2009
with Baltimore and Detroit. He
wound up with 15 homers and 85
RBIs in 150 games that year.
Bringing back Huff was an impor-
tant first step in keeping the winning
roster largely intact to try to make
another deep postseason run.
“It was critical for the lineup. The
good teams, they really have conti-
nuity,” Sabean said. “We want to
create that through retention. The
more of these guys we can keep
together the more strength we have
in numbers. It will be interesting to
see what we can do to retain our
own people to improve the lineup
from what we started with at the
beginning of the season.”
Now, Sabean turns his attention to
bringing back shortstop and third
baseman Juan Uribe — acknowl-
edging it could take a while. Sabean
said the club also had discussions
Tuesday regarding other available
shortstops to fill the void left by
Wednesday • Nov. 24, 2010 13
departed World Series MVP Edgar
Renteria, who might retire.
“So this may take some time to
get sorted out,” Sabean said. “I think
both parties are willing to do some-
thing faster, we’re just not talking
the same language in ballpark fig-
ures. You have to be patient because
we like the player ... but you do have
to do business at hand and that’s
why we’re juggling the trade sce-
nario. I really don’t know what the
outside world is going to bring to
him offer wise.”
San Francisco also has eight arbi-
tration-eligible players — lefty
pitcher Jonathan Sanchez, center
fielder Andres Torres, right fielder
Cody Ross, infielder Mike Fontenot
and relievers Ramon Ramirez,
Santiago Casilla, Javier Lopez and
Chris Ray.
While Sabean has said it would be
nice to tender contracts to all of
them, that might not be realistic.
Keeping Ross is a priority. The NL
championship series MVP, acquired
on a waiver claim from Florida on

Martinez $50 million deal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Martinez hit .302 with 27 homers in 127
games last season with Boston. He started
106 games at catcher and also can play first
base. The Tigers might use him as a designat-
ed hitter. They’ve been looking for another

Vick was convicted in 2007 of

Dungy not interested in
GM job with Vikings next season
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Tony Dungy
says he’s not interested in returning as a coach
or executive to help straighten out the
Minnesota Vikings.
Dungy told The Associated Press in a phone
interview on Monday night that he’s happy
working as an analyst for NBC and enjoys
having the time to watch his son play college
football at Oregon.
Dungy’s roots in Minnesota made him a
popular candidate with fans to rescue the reel-
ing Vikings. He played quarterback in college
for the University of Minnesota and also was
defensive coordinator for the Vikings under
Denny Green in the 1990s.
Tomlinson: QB Sanchez
was ’main reason’ to pick N.Y. Jets
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Mark Sanchez
came through in the clutch last offseason —
without even throwing a pass.
LaDainian Tomlinson said Tuesday he chose
the New York Jets over the Minnesota Vikings
in March because he was excited by the
prospect of playing with the young quarterback.
“Watching him at USC, and I knew, he just
had a knack about him, and even last year,”
Tomlinson said. “He was probably the main
reason that I came here, honestly. I saw the
guy and I said, ’You know what, this guy has
something special to him.”’
After nine years with San Diego,
Tomlinson was released by the Chargers in
February and courted by both the Jets and
Vikings. The seventh-leading rusher in NFL
history was wined and dined by both teams,
but it came down to Sanchez for Tomlinson.

Pacquiao asserts himself as PPV star
By Dave Skretta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Manny Pacquiao
is not simply the best boxer in the
world. He’s also the sport’s biggest
box office attraction.
Pacquiao’s comprehensive
destruction of Antonio Margarito
for a vacant junior middleweight
title on Nov. 13 at Cowboys
Stadium generated at least 1.15 mil-
lion buys and $64 million domestic
revenue, according to figures
announced Tuesday by HBO Sports.
Those numbers are expected to
increase slightly once all the figures
are counted, but Pacquiao already is
assured of his third straight year
with at least one fight breaking the 1
million mark.
Groups sue EPA over lead ammo, tackle
By Frederic J. Frommer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Three envi-
ronmental groups sued the
Environmental Protection Agency
on Tuesday to force it to prevent lead
poisoning of wildlife from spent
ammunition and lost fishing tackle.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S.

casts, when
asked whether the numbers exceed-
ed his expectations. “It’s an out-

Pacquiao’s victory over Oscar De

Of that group, the Filipino icon is

“He’s become a world figure,
that’s what differentiates it from the
superstars that preceded him,”
Taffet said. “And his coverage is not
just in sports media. He’s transcend-

The lawsuit asks a judge to order
the EPA to develop rules to prevent
wildlife poisoning from spent lead
ammunition and fishing tackle.
In August, the EPA denied the

Toxic Substances Control Act. A few

nizes: Mayweather. The two sides
have failed twice to reach an agree-
ment on what could be the richest
fight in boxing history, and now
with Mayweather’s legal trouble in
Las Vegas, the matchup is looking
increasingly unlikely for next year.
“Mayweather, it can’t be com-
pared to any other fight that can
conceivably be made,” said Top
Rank promoter Bob Arum, compar-
ing the fight to the Muhammad Ali-
Joe Frazier fight in 1971.
“That fight would be like the Ali-
Frazier of our time. And you know,
Ali-Frazier in 1971 was the biggest
fight really of all time, at that point.
The same thing would be said for
Manny and Floyd this time, but you

risk of injury to health or the envi-
ronment, as required by the law.
In the lawsuit, the groups say that
EPA erred when it said it didn’t have
the authority to ban lead ammuni-
tion. They argued that the legislative
history of the Toxic Substances
Control Act makes it clear that com-
ponents of ammunition — shots and
bullets — may be regulated as
chemical substances.

Arum said he’s flying to the
Philippines in December to cele-
brate Pacquiao’s birthday, and at
that point plans to discuss potential
opponents. But he conceded in a
phone interview with The
Associated Press late Tuesday that
he’s not optimistic about
Mayweather for the spring.
“Manny is there, he wants to do
the fight, and Floyd for whatever
reason is not prepared to fight him,
so we have to go on to the next best
thing if Floyd remains unavailable,”
Arum said. “We’ll see who’s avail-
able and what the terms are and then
we’ll select an opponent. Hopefully
it’s Mayweather, but as the day goes
by, it’s not looking good.”
nearly 500 peer-reviewed scientific
articles that they said document the
toxic effects of lead on wildlife, and
the lawsuit argues that large
amounts of lead continue to be
deposited into the environment.
According to the lawsuit, animals
often mistake lead shotgun pellets
and fishing tackle for food, grit or
bone fragments, and avian scav-
engers are particularly vulnerable to
lead in carcasses, gut piles and
wounded prey species.

Morgan wasting
no time making
mark with U.S.
By Nancy Armour
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Get Alex Morgan
near the goal, and good things tend
to happen.
Her career with the U.S. women
all of seven games old, Morgan has
scored arguably the two biggest
goals since the Americans won the
gold medal at the Beijing
Olympics. Her timing couldn’t be
better, either, with the Americans
scrambling to avoid missing the
World Cup for the first time.
A month after preserving a six-
year unbeaten streak on home soil
with a late goal against China,
Morgan scored in the final minute
Saturday to put the Americans with-
in reach of next summer’s World
Cup.
“She just is an aggressive kind of
player,” teammate Abby Wambach
said Monday. “She moves her body
into positions that give her chances
to score goals. She’s really created
a lot of those opportunities that
she’s gotten and the goals that she’s
scored.”
Stunned by Mexico in the semifi-
nals of regional qualifying, the top-
ranked Americans must beat Italy in
a home-and-home, aggregate goal
playoff to get to the World Cup, a
tournament they’ve won twice.
Following its 1-0 win in Padova,
Italy, the U.S. would advance with a
win or a draw in Saturday’s second
leg at Toyota Park in Bridgeview,
Ill. A 1-0 Italy win would force
overtime and, possibly, penalty
kicks, and an Italy win in which the
Azzurre score at least two goals
would eliminate the Americans.
“Women’s soccer is so much
stronger and bigger in the world
right now that you can’t take any-
thing for granted,” U.S. coach Pia
Sundhage said. “Hopefully, we’ll
look back when we go to Germany
and when we’re playing well and
say, ‘You know what? Those two
games, we got stronger. That was
actually good for us.”’
The Americans have been the
heavyweight in women’s soccer for
two decades now, winning the 1991
and ’99 World Cups and all but one
Olympic gold medal since the sport
made its debut in 1996.
The Americans were blessed in
the ’90s to have a team that doubled
as a Who’s Who in women’s soccer
with Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy,
Kristine Lilly, Joy Fawcett and
Cindy Parlow. While the rest of the
world has begun to close the gap on
the Americans, it’s the millions of
little girls Hamm, Foudy and Co.
inspired that have kept the U.S.
playing at a high level.

Autopsy planned for boy
who fell at Staples Center
By Raquel Maria Dillon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — An autopsy
was planned Tuesday for a 2-year-
old boy who died after plunging
from a skybox at Staples Center.
Police and paramedics said Lucas
Anthony Tang suffered massive
head injuries in the Sunday night
fall, but an official cause of death
must be determined.
Results of the autopsy probably
will not be released until
Wednesday, Assistant Chief
Coroner Ed Winter said. He had no
details about the boy’s fall.
The boy fell from a third-level
luxury box and landed on a row of
seats minutes after the Los Angeles
Lakers beat the Golden State
Warriors. He died at a hospital.
The Police Department’s juvenile
division launched a probe and the
arena also was investigating.

Hunter 99 percent sure a lockout looms
By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — NBA players’
association executive director Billy
Hunter said Monday he is “99 per-
cent sure” there will be a lockout
next summer.
“I think it’s highly probable that
there will be a lockout and that’s what
was involved, Officer Julie Sohn said.
A Garden Grove home believed to
be the boy’s residence was visited
by a reporter for The Associated
Press on Tuesday. No one answered
the door.
Sohn released few details of the
incident, saying only that the boy’s
family was taking photographs and
“somehow the child went over the
edge of the section.”
Michael Roth, a spokesman for
Staples and owner AEG, said no
such incidents have occurred in the
11-year history of the arena.
Roth said the toddler fell from the
third tier of boxes, or about 30 feet,
into a general seating area about 30
rows up from the court. Each box
has tiers of seats with safety glass
embedded in concrete walls.
The building is in compliance
with city codes, which require
guardrails to be at least 26 inches
high in front of seats, Department of
Building and Safety spokesman
David Lara said.
The safety barrier consists of
16-inch-high concrete topped by
I’m preparing for because I don’t see
anything else right now,” Hunter said.
With negotiations toward a new
collective bargaining agreement to
replace the one that expires next

said he’s been instructing his play-

There was no breakthrough in the

glass ranging in height from 10
inches in front of the seats to 26
inches near steps, Roth said. That
would put the total height of the
barrier at 26 inches to 42 inches,
depending on the location. The
concrete also has a ledge to place
drinks in the concrete below the
glass, Roth added.
The Lakers organization issued a
statement expressing shock and sad-
ness at the tragedy.
Monday night’s game between
the Los Angeles Clippers and
New Orleans Hornets went on as
scheduled.
Hornets rookie coach Monty
Williams was subdued when he
brought up the tragedy during his
pregame speech.

The number of injuries CSM had to deal
with this season, especially to key positions,
would be enough to make some teams fall flat.
During the Bulldog Bowl, Julian Bernard was
the only quarterback the team had available
after emergency backup Tana Afeaki was
injured in the first quarter. Pollack joked
Tuesday that coaches talked about suiting up
or just simplifying the offense to settle for
punts on every possession.
While they weren’t full strength against
COS, Bernard and running back Seta Pohahau
were back in action on Saturday and the pair
offered a brief glimpse of the high-powered
offense from earlier in the season. Bernard
scored touchdowns through the air and on the
ground, while Pohahau set a Bulldog Bowl
record with 178 yards rushing. The perform-
ance catapulted the sophomore running back
to the highest rushing average per carry in the
state at 8.11.
While Bernard, Pohahau, First Team All-
Nor Cal players Jeremy Galten (offensive line)
and Rahsaan Vaughn (receiver), and slotbacks
Therman McGowan, Tim Celestine and Vai
Liu will all be gone from next year’s offense,
Pollack said he has high expectations for his
of the match in Game 3, but the
players. Similar to how the Bulldogs roster
was depleted by injuries but CSM battled
through it, someone is always next in line —
especially with the high rate of turnover in jun-
ior college sports.
“I expect the guys to come in, do well, per-
form well, and if I have any less expectations
or make any excuses, that we didn’t win
because of this or that, then that’s unaccept-
able,” Pollack said, adding that he is excited
about returning freshmen such as quarterback
Miles Freeman, running back Vaughn Smith,
and defensive backs Lucky Dozier, Ron Fields
and Alex Hubbard. In addition to the guys who
gained experience on the field, Pollack said a
collection of talented gray-shirts will be con-
tributing.
“I’m looking forward to seeing some of
those guys next year,” he said.
Women’s basketball
Nine CSM freshmen have now played the
first game of their collegiate careers, and the
results have been mixed.
Bulldogs women’s basketball coach
Michelle Warner watched her team drop the
first three games of the season before coming
back Saturday to put a solid effort up against
College of San Marin for a 66-40 victory.
Getting her players to take their time but
understand the need for a sense of urgency has
been a talking point, Warner said.
“In the heat of the moment, we just make
small mistakes,” she said. “I think they’re just
rushing a lot, getting used to the intensity of
the game, pace of the game.”
One player the Bulldogs have leaned on to
start the schedule has been sophomore forward
Patricia Malaspina, who is averaging 15.8
points and 9.3 rebounds per game. Opposing
teams have been responding over the course of
games, bringing double teams in the second
half rather than sticking with straight man-to-
man defense.
“(Malaspina) just has that passion, desire
and mindframe,” Warner said. “When the ball
goes up, she’s trying to get it.”
Freshman forward LeShay Wallace said
Malaspina has been a role model for her and
other newcomers, as each player makes the
adjustment to the college level.
“It’s a big change as far as speed and com-
petition,” Wallace said.
Kimmie Fung (8.3 ppg) and Kendra Thomas
The third set, however, was a far dif-
(7.5 ppg) are the second and third leading
scorers on the team, which is still looking to
balance out its turnovers against its own assists
and steals. Right now, the Bulldogs are giving
the ball away more than 28 times per game
while averaging 16.3 assists and steals each.
The Bulldogs will have a challenge Saturday
when they play at No. 8 American River
College in Sacramento, before returning for
the Shasta College Invitational, which starts
next week.
“There are still things we need to work on,”
Warner said. “We’re a young team, and we’re
getting better every game. That’s what I told
them: ‘The ultimate goal is getting better at
each thing you’re doing.’”

“Sacred Heart is just a really

A savory,cheese course-ready take on cheesecake
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The goal — liberate cheesecake from the
dessert course. And it was easier than we
thought.
While rich, creamy cheesecake is a fine way
to end the meal, we didn’t think it had to be
sweet to do so. We wanted a savory cheese-
cake, one that could finish the meal as a
cheese course. And so we cut the sugar and
substituted blue cheese for part of the cream
cheese.
And since blue cheese pairs so nicely with
fruit, we added a topping of pears poached in
red wine and balsamic vinegar. A black-pep-
per walnut crust accentuates the play on sweet
and savory. The combination is breathtaking-
ly rich and satisfying, as well as visually stun-
ning. It is the perfect way to end a holiday
meal.
But note — this cheesecake is exceptional-
ly rich. Serve it in small slivers. Both the
cheesecake and pears also hold well and can
be prepared a day or two ahead. The pears can
be served warm, room temperature or chilled.
To reheat the pears, simply place them and the
syrup in a large saute pan and heat over low.

Get the most from your holiday roast
By Michele Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
You’ve decked the table with china and
linens and your grandmother’s monogrammed
silver.
The only thing missing? A gigantic, glisten-
ing roast, the ultimate expression of holiday
luxury.
“You’re serving something that people nor-
mally can’t afford,” says James Peterson,
cooking instructor and author most recently of
“Meat: A Kitchen Education” (Ten Speed,
2010). “It’s a splurge.”
But roasts — whether a standing prime rib,
a rack of lamb or a saddle of veal — can be as
intimidating as they are dramatic. Peterson
offers a few techniques to help you conquer
the beast:
• Make friends with fat
“People have the common misconception
that cooking something with liquid keeps it
moist,” Peterson says. “What keeps meat
moist is fat.”
With beef, look for “marbling,” fine veins of
fat running through the meat. Select lamb that
is evenly covered in bright white fat, and pork
FOOD
that’s not too lean. Figure on 6 to 8 ounces of
roast per person if the meat is boneless, dou-
ble that if it has bones.
• Toss out the roasting rack
If you rack your roast, all the precious
juices will burn when they hit the pan. Instead,
choose a pan just large enough for the meat,
line it with trimmings and place the roast on
top. “If you don’t have enough meat to cover
the surface, the juices are going to burn,”
Peterson says. “And that smoke permeates the
roast.”
• Just say “jus”
Jus, the concentrated meat juices, intensify
the experience of your expensive cut. To
achieve perfection, remove the finished roast
from the pan, then boil the trimmings until the
pan is nearly dry. Pour off the fat, then deglaze
the pan with 1/2 cup of water or stock. Do this
two or three times to concentrate the flavor,
Peterson says, and resist the urge to add more
liquid. “You only need a couple tablespoons a
serving,” Peterson says. “You want it really
concentrated.”
• Run hot and cold
Turn your oven as high as it will go and
cook the meat until it browns, about 30 min-
utes. “The high temperature kills all the
microorganisms and gives a nice brown
crust,” Peterson says. Then turn the oven to
roughly 325 F to cook it slowly, letting the
heat penetrate to the center.
• Let it be
Meat contracts when exposed to heat, so let-
ting it rest before serving is essential to pre-
serving juiciness. “If it’s contracted, and you
cut it, the juices will just squirt out of it,”
Peterson says. As the meat relaxes, the juices
will return to the muscle. The internal temper-
ature of the meat will also rise about 5
degrees, ensuring your meat is perfectly
cooked and thoroughly hot. Meat should rest
anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, depending
on the size of the roast.
• Baste not, want not
Basting lets heat out of the oven. It also
keeps the meat from browning and turns the
dish into a braise, not a roast. Just don’t do it.

Cooks hold
turkey trials
to get it right
By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For most of us, Thanksgiving is a one-day-
a-year turkey triathlon. Roll out of bed in the
shivery dark and cook as if your very life
depended on it: bird, stuffed; potatoes,
whipped; pumpkin, pied.
But for some, once is not enough. While the
rest of us are still toying with our shopping
lists, they’ve already made and cooked entire
practice Thanksgiving feasts.
Why would anyone run turkey trials?
Cynthia Bee, a food blogger and landscape
designer living in the Salt Lake City suburb of
West Jordan, says practice Thanksgiving din-
ners are a tradition that began with her hus-
band’s passion for turkey and her desire to try
new things.
She brings desserts to the family gathering
and having a dry run “gives me a chance to
see how well-received they’ll be.”
For Kelsey Nixon, host of “Kelsey’s
Essentials” on the Cooking Channel, turkey
try-outs are a family tradition that started sev-
eral years ago when her grandparents began
heading south for the winter before
Thanksgiving rolled around. Determined not
to miss the family get-together, Nixon’s mom
started throwing a “mock Thanksgiving” the
last week in October.
Over the years, the practice dinner has given
the family a chance to try out some wacky but
good recipes, such as a dish involving Jell-O
and marshmallows at this year’s feast that they
dug up from Nixon’s mom’s 8th grade home
ec textbook, as well as some recipes that were
simply wacky. “We once tried to make a tur-
ducken and it was the worst experience ever,”
she says.
The desire to cook at home, and cook well,
has become increasingly attractive in the
weak economy. And why not extend that to
Thanksgiving? Plus, consider all the bytes
dedicates to making great bites.

Servings: 8
1 center-cut beef tenderloin section, about 8
inches long and 2 1/2 pounds, trimmed of fat
and silver skin
Salt and ground black pepper
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 pounds cremini mushrooms, finely
chopped in a food processor
1 pound store-bought all-butter puff pastry,
thawed in the refrigerator
1 egg, beaten with a pinch of salt
Season the tenderloin liberally all over with
salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature
while preparing the remaining ingredients.
In a large saute pan over high heat, melt the
butter. When the butter froths, add a large
handful of the chopped mushrooms. Stir for
about 1 minute. Continue adding the mush-
rooms, a handful at a time, and cook, stirring
occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until any
liquid they release evaporates and they are
nicely browned and dry. Season with salt and
pepper, then set aside to cool.
Heat the oven to 425 F. Sprinkle a sheet pan
FOOD
with cold water. Roll the pastry out into a rec-
tangle just large enough to wrap around the
tenderloin completely. Spread the cooled
mushrooms evenly over the pastry.
Place the tenderloin along one long edge of
the pastry, then roll up the meat in the pastry to
enclose it completely. Make sure that the
wrapped tenderloin is seam side down, then
seal each end by folding it under.
Place the wrapped tenderloin on the sheet
pan. Using a sharp knife, cut a series of diago-
nal slashes, about 1/2 inch apart, along the top
of the roll, being careful not to cut into the
meat. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the pas-
try is golden brown and an instant thermome-
ter inserted at the center of the tenderloin reads
120 F for rare or 125 F for medium-rare. (The
temperature will rise another 5 F as the roast
rests.)
Transfer the roast to a platter, tent loosely
with foil, then let it rest for 20 minutes before
serving. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1-inch
slices to serve.

has been tremendous. There’s just things I’ve
never done before which were more about
technique than ingredients.”
Add to that the pressure to get
Thanksgiving just right and it’s not surprising
if cooks feel a few gastronomical jitters.
“It’s probably the most important meal of
the year,” says Stacy Finz, food and wine
reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle,
which has run a number of “turkey training
camps” for cooks of varying levels of experi-
ence.
The camps aimed at culinary novices drew
“hundreds and hundreds of people who want
to participate,” says Finz. Many had sad sto-
ries to tell of Thanksgiving dinners gone bad.
The paper mixes things up; one year having
star chefs compete — selected readers chose
the winning dishes — and another year bring-
ing in people who considered themselves
turkey aces. This year, the topic is being treat-
ed in two parts with one story featuring chefs’
retro recipes — turkey Kiev, anyone? — and
THE DAILY JOURNAL
another following West Coast Thanksgiving
traditions with recent San Francisco Bay area
transplants invited to take part.
Meanwhile, Finz’s sister has been getting in
a little practice of her own. “She wants to get
her cranberry sauce right.”
At Cook’s Illustrated magazine, where
recipes are meticulously tested to take the
worry out of home cooking, John Willoughby,
the executive editor, was ambivalent about the
concept of turkey dry-runs.
“If you’re doing it because you want to
have two big celebratory dinners and you like
cooking, that’s a good reason,” he says. “If
you’re doing it because you’re afraid some-
thing will go wrong — I’m not so sure that
I’m in favor of that.”
Thanksgiving should be mostly about cele-
brating and hanging out with family,
Willoughby thinks. As for strategizing for a
fail-free feast, he says, “There’s adventure in
cooking. Practicing can take the adventure out
of it.”
And practice doesn’t guarantee perfection.
One of the worst mishaps to befall Bee was
during the real meal two years ago when her
sister had cooked, carved and presented a per-
fect turkey.
“And I dropped the platter. My family will
never let me live it down.”

Nagel said.
The alternatives analysis process on
the Peninsula speeded along in an effort

“They should restore the alternatives

short-changed the process in a rush to

Burt realizes it may be hard to find a

mid-morning through 5 p.m. on Friday.
St. Nick will arrive in style, on a red fire
truck around 11 a.m., to greet kids and
hear their Christmas wishes. Talbot’s
will have extended hours, from 9:30 a.m.
to 9 p.m., for parents looking to get hol-
iday shopping done early.
Other local stores offering Black
Friday specials include Vinyl Solution
and Edwards Luggage.
Marty Reininger, one of the owners of
Foster City-based Edwards Luggage,
said he thinks Thanksgiving and super-
early sales prevent employees from
spending quality time with their fami-
lies. While his company has seen an
increase over 2009 figures of between 5
sons, then dance and acting.
“I got more interested when I got older
because I had more opportunities,” she
said.
Garber’s love of the stage started by
watching his father.
Garber, a 16-year-old junior at Crystal
Springs Uplands School, saw his dad in
“Seussical the Musical.” The pair would
sing the songs in the car. The next year,
Garber joined in the fun. He has since
played a number of roles and performed
with the Rigazzi Boys Chorus.
All three of the teens have spent at
least two summers at the Stagedoor
Manor doing full performances in a
short time period. Each gushed about the
opportunity to be challenged by profes-
sionals while working with teens who
also enjoy acting. Each of the students
applied for the parade opportunity with
about 400 others. They represent three of
80 kids, ages 10 to 18, from 23 states,
Bermuda, The Dominican Republic,
Canada and Italy who were chosen to
participate.
“I know at least one-third of the peo-
ple who are in the parade so it’ll be a
great big reunion for all of us,” said
Garber. “I love dancing as well as

included from the alternatives analysis if
that is a city’s preference.
Belmont, Burlingame, Palo Alto,
Atherton and Menlo Park formed the
Peninsula Cities Consortium to influence
the high-speed rail process in those com-
munities.
Officials from those cities have been
critical of the Peninsula Rail Program’s
process in developing the alternatives
analysis document, including its effort to
implement context sensitive solutions, a
public process and toolkit meant to allow
for greater input from the community on
the design and alignment of the project.
The process went too fast and included
too few details, Nagel said.
“We need details. We need a process
where we can dig into the details,” Nagel
said.
The rail authority has damaged itself,
Eshoo said.
“This is a classic case so far of how not
to do something. HSR has incurred dam-
age. Confidence has been lost and it will
be difficult to recapture,” Eshoo said.
The rail authority is planning a route
with electrified bullet trains traveling
from Los Angeles to San Francisco at a
cost of more than $40 billion. It received
a significant boost when voters approved
Proposition 1A, a $9.95 billion bond in
November 2008.

percent to 10 percent for each month this
year, he said the emphasis on Black
Friday as the ultimate shopping day has
been blown out of proportion.
“We’ll have sales on different luggage
brands throughout the weekend, but I
think it’s overstated. Black Friday sets
the tone, but I think it’s bigger for big
box stores where you have people lining
up at 6 a.m. for 10 percent off, things
like that. Our biggest day is the Saturday
before Christmas.”
Spokespeople for stores like Ross and
T.J. Maxx said they will not be offering
any additional sales on top of their
already discounted merchandise, but
they will have extended hours in an
attempt to draw in some of the Black
Friday shopping traffic.
For those who wish to remain indoors
away from the crowds, online sites like
Amazon and Overstock.com are offering
discounts on everything from electronics
to tools and DVDS.
Whether shoppers feel the pull of in-
store deals or are drawn online, retailers
are optimistic that consumers will open
their wallets a little wider than last holi-
day season.
“I think, and I’ve been hearing, that
shoppers are feeling a little more loos-
ened up,” said Asbury. “We’ve been
monitoring and gauging the situation,
and everybody seems to be doing better.”
singing and I love the two directors that
we have. It’ll just be a great time.”
This won’t be their first visit to New
York, but each of the kids did take a dif-
ferent approach to the outing.
Norvig traveled with her whole fami-
ly, arriving last weekend to take in some
shows before rehearsals. Her grand-
mother, who lives on the East Coast, will
be driving down to celebrate in the
magic.
Garber traveled with Belanoff and her
family to New York. The pair had front
row seats for “The Fantasticks,” a
beloved show for Belanoff which Garber
had never seen.
Being in the parade means not seeing
it, but each student was confident the
experience would still be a memorable
one.

Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2010
Some interesting changes could be in the offing that will
benefit you both socially and commercially in the next year.
A friend might originally initiate one or two of them, but once
you get a handle on things, you’ll make your own luck.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Follow that old saying:
“If you can’t find something nice to say about someone, say
nothing at all.” Any critique you make could end up sounding
abrasive and mean-spirited.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Be careful how you treat
someone who has always cooperated with you in the past. If
you fail to support him/her, this person won’t get your back
the next time you need his/her help.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Guard against a tendency to
blame everyone but yourself for mistakes that occur at work.
If you do, it’ll create some serious problems for you with
co-workers.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - A friend of yours might
take the attitude that s/he has a proprietary interest in your
resources, and will try to maneuver you into making an unde-
sirable commitment to cover all his/her expenses.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - No major decision should be
made without first considering all the ramifications. Although
your mind is sharp, your judgment could be off base; you will
require much more data.
helpmate to do the job right. Those who usually pitch in won’t
be around when you’ll need them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - It’s foolish to take an unwise
risk when your better judgment warns you against doing so --
especially regarding matters of a financial nature. You’ll end
up broke, with nothing to show for your effort.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - If you find yourself in one of
your sour moods, try to keep to yourself as much as possible
to avoid inadvertently saying something offensive to someone
you like.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Be exceptionally careful of your
behavior when placed in the position of having to deal with
someone whom you innately dislike. You could demean your-
self by behaving in an unbecoming manner.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Costly social involvements could
be the very ones that turn out to be the least fun. In order to
not waste money on such an endeavor, find an inexpensive
but pleasurable outlet.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Even though your ambitions are
easily aroused, you are unfortunately likely to focus on some
wasteful objectives. Don’t spend your valuable time or money
on goals of dubious value.
Previous
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - The only way you can resolve
a misunderstanding between yourself and another is to bring Sudoku
it out into the open and honestly discuss it. Being silent about

North,South Korea trade fire

By Hyung-Jin and Kwang-Tae Kim
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INCHEON, South Korea — North and
South Korea exchanged artillery fire
Tuesday along their disputed frontier,
raising tensions between the rivals to
their highest level in more than a decade.
The communist nation warned of more
military strikes if the South encroaches
on the maritime border by “even 0.001
millimeter.”
The skirmish began when North Korea
warned the South to halt military drills
near their sea border, according to South
Korean officials. When Seoul refused
and began firing artillery into disputed
waters — but away from the North
Korean shore — the North retaliated by
shelling the small island of Yeonpyeong,
which houses South Korean military
installations and a small civilian popula-
tion.
Seoul responded by unleashing its
own barrage from K-9 155mm self-pro-
pelled howitzers and scrambling fighter
jets. Two South Korean marines were
killed in the shelling that also injured 15
troops and three civilians.
Officials in Seoul said there could be
considerable North Korean casualties.
The confrontation lasted about an hour
and left the uneasiest of calms, with each
side threatening further bombardments.

Obama pledges U.S.to defend its ally South Korea
By Anne Gearan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack
Obama on Tuesday pledged the United
States would defend South Korea after
what the White House branded a
provocative, outrageous attack by North
Korea on its neighbor. Its options limited,

nuclear weapons program and its prepa-
rations for handing power to a new gen-
eration have plunged relations on the
heavily militarized peninsula to new
lows in recent weeks.
South Korea’s military was put on
high alert after the shelling — one of
the rivals’ most dramatic confronta-
tions since an armistice halted the
Korean War in 1953 and one of the few
nous clashes between the Koreas in
decades.
“South Korea is our ally. It has been
since the Korean war,” Obama said in his
first comments about the North Korean
shelling of a South Korean island. “And
we strongly affirm our commitment to
defend South Korea as part of that
alliance.”
Working to head off any escalation, the
U.S. did not reposition any of its 29,000

to put civilians at risk.
“I thought I would die,” said Lee
Chun-ok, 54, an islander who said she
was watching TV in her home when the
shelling began. Suddenly, a wall and
door collapsed.
“I was really, really terrified,” she told
the Associated Press after being evacuat-
ed to the port city of Incheon, west of
Seoul, “and I’m still terrified.”
troops in the South or make other mili-
tary moves after North Korea fired salvos
of shells into the island, setting off an
artillery duel between the two sides.
The president, speaking to ABC News,
would not speculate when asked about
military options. He was expected to
telephone South Korean President Lee
Myung-bak late Tuesday night. He met
earlier with his top national security
advisers to discuss next steps.
Around the world
Cambodia doesn’t know
what set off deadly stampede
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — At the bridge where investi-
gators poked though the debris of a disaster — abandoned flip-
flops and sneakers, water bottles, pieces of sugar cane — Chea
Chan lit a Buddhist memorial offering of incense, coconut and
lotus flowers, and wept.
The 28-year-old had tried to grab his younger brother during
the riverside stampede that left at least 378 dead Monday night,
but he was pushed against the support poles of the narrow sus-
pension bridge. His little brother fell down and immediately
was crushed under four or five other falling people.
He found his dead sibling at a local hospital, with a broken
neck and crushed face. “I’m totally in shock,” he said.
The victims were trampled when a crowd celebrating a holi-
day panicked for reasons that remained unknown Tuesday. The
prime minister’s special adviser, Om Yentieng, denied reports
that it was sparked by a mass food poisoning, or by people
being electrocuted by lighting cables.
Aruba:Jawbone not that of Natalee Holloway
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A jawbone found on an Aruba
beach does not belong to missing Alabama teenager Natalee
Holloway, prosecutors in the Dutch Caribbean island said
Tuesday.
The jawbone is human, though it is unclear who it belongs to.
Dutch investigators compared the lone tooth on the bone with
dental records supplied by Holloway’s family and “it can be
ruled out that the bone fragment came from Natalee Holloway,”
the prosecutors said.
The bone was found recently by a tourist on a beach, and
Aruba prosecutors had asked forensic scientists in the
Netherlands to analyze it.
They assured that the Holloway case has “the constant atten-
tion from law enforcement on the island.”
But John Kelly, an attorney for Holloway’s mother, Beth
Twitty, hinted that the media apparently found out first about
the test results.
U.N.nuke agency:Iran
enrichment temporarily halted
VIENNA — Nuclear inspectors monitoring Iran found the
country’s enrichment program temporarily shut down a week
ago, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported
Tuesday, reflecting a possible setback for the cornerstone of the
country’s nuclear activities and source of national pride.
Beyond noting that Iran continued to enrich in defiance of the
U.N. Security Council, a report by the U.N. nuclear monitor
also said that Tehran for the second year continued to rebuff
attempts to investigate suspicions it had experimented with
components of a nuclear program.
