PG&E is preparing for strong winds that are expected to hit the Bay Area over the next two days. The utility is anticipating some power outages if the wind storm produces the 60 mph gusts that weather forecasters are predicting, PG&E spokeswoman Tamar Sarkissian said Tuesday.
The National Weather Service has issued a high-wind warning for the Bay Area that will be in effect for today and Thursday as a dry weather system moves through the region, weather service forecaster Duane Dykema said. Its not really what most people would consider a storm, Dykema said.
He said rain is not expected but that gusts of 60 to 70 mph are anticipated at higher elevations, with gusts of 40 to 45 mph in lower-lying areas, Dykema said. Its going to be really blustery almost everywhere, he said. Sarkissian said PG&E spends more than $180 million annually to inspect more than 130,000 miles of
power lines in its service area from Eureka to Bakerseld to make sure they are safe. Although the utility focuses in particular on trimming unhealthy tree limbs that overhang power lines, it also monitors healthy limbs that pose a threat, she said. Of the power outages in PG&Es service area, 13 percent are caused
by tree limbs that fall onto power lines. Of those, 90 percent are caused by healthy tree branches, she said. Customers reporting power outages can call PG&E at (800) 7435002. People who encounter a downed power line should assume it is live, keep a safe distance away, and call 911 and PG&E, Sarkissian said.

Jesusa Ursonal Tatad was boiling mad over the holiday weekend because she believed her ex-husband, with whom she still lived, was unfaithful. At least thats according to prosecutors who say the Daly City woman poured an entire pot of boiling water on him as he Jesusa Tatad slept and later hit him in the head with a baseball bat when he tried escaping to the safety of the bathroom. Tatads 36-year-old ex-husband is currently in the intensive care unit of San Francisco General Hospital with second- and third-degree burns over 60 percent of his face and upper body and is unable to speak, according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Ron Berg reads a lease renewal notice to his wife Jeanne at the Hillsdale Garden Apartments in San Mateo yesterday.The couple face a rent hike that is beyond their xed income and fear possible eviction.
When a lease renewal letter was pinned to the door of San Mateo residents Jeanne and Ron Berg Nov. 21, their hearts nearly sank. With their lease expiring early next year, the letter from Hillsdale Garden
Apartments indicated the couple could renew their lease for another year at a rate of $1,791.25 a month for their twobedroom apartment. If they sign the new lease, their rents will have increased 99 percent since 2006, when the complex was sold by the McCarthy family to Essex Properties, based in Palo Alto.
But the Bergs live on a xed income and their anticipated government checks next year will only be $1,555 a month. If Mr. McCarthy knew what they were doing, he would be turning over in his grave, Jeanne told the Daily Journal yesterday. At the beginning of this year, the
County supervisors yesterday unanimously agreed to pay former county manager John Maltbie up to $96,000 to step back into the acting role while they search for a permanent replacement for ousted county manager David Boesch.

Reopening Hoover Elementary School will take rehabilitation and some changes to the neighborhoods trafc ow topics that will be discussed during a town hall meeting Tuesday. Late last year, the Burlingame Elementary School District purchased the vacant site of Hoover Elementary School at 2220 Summit Drive to help with growing enrollment. With construction, design and state approval estimated to take nearly two years, the board has given direction for the buildings design to allow the start of needed studies. On Tuesday, the Board of Trustees will hold a town hall meeting to discuss the projects status, recent trafc studies, as well as options for parking and dropping off students. Planning for the school has already started. Given Hoovers placement on a hilly piece of land, the current facility could create issues when meeting state requirements for accessibility. During the July school board meeting,
Richard Terrones, vice president of Dreiling Terrones Architecture Inc., which is overseeing district construction projects, warned this was the rst time in 30 years that the state has had a chance to look at the site and make accessibility recommendations. At the Aug. 23 meeting, the board voted for a conceptual design for Hoover which calls for the renovation of the original 1930s building and removal of the 1949 annex building allowing for a new building in its place. This creates a school with 11 classrooms, one daycare room and a library created from two of the smaller current classrooms. There will be a multipurpose room with a new stage, main ofce, specialist spaces in the new buildings and support spaces, according to the district website. Estimates to upgrade the facility have ranged from $6.87 million to $10.8 million, with the current plan being on the higher end. Measure A, a $48.3 million bond measure, was passed in 2007. Purchasing the nowvacant Hoover Elementary School at 2220 Summit Drive for $4.85 million was one of the larger purchases from the measure. Money

from Measure A will also be used for design work, environmental analysis, surveying and preliminary engineering for the Hoover site. Hoover was built in the 30s, closed in 1978 and sold 10 years later. In 1989, Shinnyo-En Buddhist Facility was granted a city permit but later moved out of Burlingame. Paying for the school renovation will most likely come in the form of a bond. Yet unanswered is how much the board would seek and when. The district could also use state grants. It is eligible for as much as $14 million, if approved. Results of a 400-person phone survey completed by Godbe Research in January showed support for a $27 million bond measure, which requires 55 percent to pass.

The National Transportation Safety Board has found that a plane crash in East Palo Alto that killed three Tesla Motors employees on a foggy morning in February 2010 was the fault of the pilot. A nal report on the crash released by the NTSB last week concludes that the pilot failed to follow instructions during departure and failed to attain a sufcient altitude to maintain clearance from power lines during takeoff.
The report states that the twin-engine Cessna 310 struck power lines and a PG&E tower about 50 feet above ground at 7:54 a.m. on Feb. 17 shortly after departing from the Palo Alto Airport. The aircraft had been headed to Hawthorne, Calif. All three men on the plane, pilot Douglas Bourn, 56, of Santa Clara; Brian Finn, 42, of East Palo Alto; and Andrew Ingram, 31, of Palo Alto, died in the crash. No one on the ground was injured. Further ndings from the NTSB report indicate that the pilot departed the airport in nearzero visibility and had not been cleared for takeoff by the air trafc controller, who was
unable to see the runway. The report states that the pilot was told that if he took off, it would be at his own risk. All of the planes major structural components were recovered and showed no evidence of mechanical failure or other problems, according to the report.

Barkeeper robbed at knifepoint
A man locking up a bar in San Carlos Wednesday morning was robbed at knifepoint and slashed in his arm, according to police. At approximately 1:52 a.m., the man had just left The Ofce Bar and Grill at 1120 Eaton Ave. and wasnt sure if he locked the back door. He returned immediately and parked his car in front and walked back to the business toward Cowgil Alley when he was confronted by two men. One man brandished a knife, demanded his wallet and slashed him in the arm causing a 3- to 4-inch laceration. Both ran toward Laurel Street, according to the San Carlos bureau of the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce. Both men were described as white or Hispanic. The rst one was approximately 6 feet, medium build and wearing a black ski mask, dark gloves and a black sweatshirt. The second one was approximately 5 feet 7 inches, medium build and wearing a black ski mask and a black sweatshirt. He was not wearing gloves but had a large silver watch, according to the Sheriffs Ofce. Anyone with relevant information about the robbery or the suspects is asked to contact the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office, Investigations Bureau, or the Anonymous Tip Line at (800) 547-2700. wanted an annulment. When Anderson arrived at her San Mateo home to pick up some belongings, he found Mason there and killed them with a shotgun. Nearly a year later, on Oct. 15, 1985, a jury convicted Anderson of two second-degree murder charges plus an enhancement for using a rearm. He was sentenced to 17 years to life for each count, to run concurrently. A state appellate court afrmed the convictions but a decade later a federal judge overturned the verdict, ruling Anderson mental tness for trial was never questioned by his original defense attorney. On Jan. 22, 1997, after a new two-month trial, Anderson was again convicted of the same charges and the same sentence imposed. That Anderson is even eligible for parole at this point is a sign of changing sentencing guidelines, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. If he was sentenced today, the term would be closer to 70 years to life, Wagstaffe said.

The no contest plea came after Robertson was denied a request to replace his attorney because the lawyer was not ready to proceed with trial. He has had four other previous attorneys over the past
two years of the case. Robertson was arrested Dec. 22, 2008 after the Narcotics Task Force served a search warrant on his Montgomery Street home. Authorities reported finding cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana and hydrocodone.

The home was also equipped with a metal roll-up door behind the regular door to the home office, a surveillance camera and combination locks on every door, according to the District Attorneys Office. Robertson was free from custody on a $75,000 bail bond.

SAN FRANCISCO The University of California board of regents approved raises for several senior employees at a meeting that was disrupted by protesters angry about tuition hikes and executive pay. The regents approved the compensation packages Monday after their meeting was interrupted by shouting Wall Street protesters seeking to hold their own peoples regents meeting. Documents show that two vice chancellors got 9.9 percent raises, an interim dean received a 7.5 percent increase and the head attorneys of six UC campuses got raises ranging from 6.4 percent to 21.9 percent. The salary of UC Davis Medical Centers chief operating ofcer was raised 23 percent after he received a competing offer. His pay is funded by medical center revenue, not state funds. UC ofcials said the raises were needed to bring employees pay in line with market rates. We consider these retention efforts to be essential, UC President Mark Yudof said during the meeting, according to the Sacramento Bee. I understand its not a great time, but we cant really close down shop and say were not going to make any effort to retain our best people. The board voted Monday to ask for an 18 percent increase in state funding to hire instructors, expand enrollment and avoid raising tuition. At the meeting, dozens of students spoke out against budget cuts, tuition hikes and campus crackdowns on Occupy camps. Protesters called on the regents to sign a pledge calling on big banks and the wealthy to pay higher taxes to fund higher education.
ATLANTA Herman Cain told aides Tuesday he is assessing whether the latest allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior against him create too much of a cloud for his Republican presidential candidacy to go forward. Acknowledging the firestorm arising from an accusation of indelity, Cain only committed to keeping his campaign schedule for the next several days, in a conference call with his senior staff. If a decision is made, different than to plow ahead, you all will be the rst to know, he said, according to a transcript of the call made by the National Review, which listened to the conversation. It was the rst time doubts about Cains continued candidacy had surfaced from the candidate himself. As recently as Tuesday morning, a campaign spokesman had stated unequivocally that Cain would not quit. Cain denied anew that he had an extramarital affair with a Georgia woman who went public a day earlier with allegations they had been intimate for 13 years. It was just a friendship relationship, he said on the call, according to the transcript. That being said, obviously, this is

SAN DIEGO U.S. authorities said they discovered a major cross-border tunnel Tuesday, the latest in a spate of secret passages found to smuggle drugs from Mexico. It is clearly the most sophisticated, major tunnel that we have found in the last ve years, said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement in San Diego. She did not provide details. The tunnel links warehouses in San Diego and Tijuana, authorities said. Mexican soldiers found the entrance on the south side of the border at a Tijuana warehouse after the U.S. opening was discovered. A photo released by U.S. authorities shows a hydraulic lift inside the Tijuana building. Mexican soldiers guarded the two-story warehouse near the Tijuana airport as dark-
ness fell. The white building had a broken window that was covered with paper and no exterior sign. The Tijuana warehouse is on the same block as a federal police ofce and sits next to a packaging company and tortilla distributor. The discovery comes less than two weeks after U.S. authorities found a 400-yard passage linking warehouses in San Diego and Tijuana, seizing 17 tons of marijuana on both sides of the border.

OPINION
deprived of that revenue so Redwood City can benet from them? What is the rationale to justify this water grab and resulting scal impact on Kern County? The state of California faces a limited if not xed water supply. We dedicated the rst half of the last century building dams and canals, but we have learned in recent decades of the many negative ecological effects of this approach. We have to think of ways of using our existing water supply more efciently to support reasonable population growth. Redwood City receives more than 18,000 acre-feet of clean rainwater, and treats it as waste. Our new streets, parking lots and driveways could be constructed with permeable concrete or some other porous, not toxic material. This would allow rainwater to percolate, being ltered underground by sand and gravel, to our groundwater storage for future use. Our roof rainwater could be captured in cisterns and be used for landscape watering. If we could save a fth of our rainwater by these means, we could harvest 3,600 acre-feet of water annually. Landscape watering in Redwood City is another opportunity. Redwood City currently uses approximately 13,250 acre-feet of water per year. If all households were required to convert to water thrifty landscaping, as much as 2,650 acre-feet of water, 20 percent of present citywide use, could be dedicated to new households.

n essential element of Cargills proposed development in Redwood City is the diversion of millions of gallons of water from the Bakerseld area to Redwood City. Cargill is offering Redwood City enough water to enable the city to increase its population by 33 percent. This is quite an inducement in terms of potential new sales and property tax revenue from new residences and commercial establishments. But instead of opting for Cargills version of sprawl in Redwood City wetlands and marshes, we could restore those wetlands over time and use the water Redwood City already has more effectively to enable population growth. I am a resident of Redwood City, but I am a native of Fresno and own an almond orchard in Fresno County. My almond orchard consumes about 600 acre-feet of water to produce 450,000 pounds of almonds (An acre-foot is the amount of water that would cover an acre one foot deep, and is the approximate annual water use of a suburban household). The 8,400 acre-feet of water that Cargill proposes to take from Kern County would produce six million pounds of almonds per year enough for a handful of almonds a day for every San Mateo County resident for 134 days. But almonds aside, water is the lifeblood for cities and counties. The 8,400 acre-feet is enough water for 6,000 households. Why should the city of Bakerseld and Kern County be

Walsh, Ph.D. If there ever was a more egregious and telling example of the dysfunction of Congress, this is it! Im thinking about their refusal to pass legislation that would improve the contents of school cafeteria lunches. President Obamas effort to make school lunches more healthful, like all other changes he has tried to get through Congress, has met the same old roadblock. Nevermind that record numbers of American children (12.5 million at last count) are obese, and the soaring health care costs for those kids add up to much more than the cost of healthier school lunches. As written in the San Mateo County Times editorial, Processed food lobby trumps health of kids (11/21), Congress listens to lobbyists, not military leaders who say obesity in young people is compromising the armed forces ability to fill the ranks with healthy recruits. ... The lobbyists spoke and Congress caved. Conservatives in Congress use the excuse that government shouldnt be in the business of telling kids what to eat another facet of their contemptuous campaign to keep government regulation out of our lives no matter what damage may ensue. This is a huge cop-out. Lawmakers in Congress who allow lobbyists to determine how they vote are not only reprehensible, they are dishonest and immoral. This is another example of how our legislators give in to lobbyists even to the point of jeopardizing the health of our children. Its also another example of how capitalism has run amok to the point that we, the people, are victims of the whims of corporations that have no interest in anything but profits and lawmakers without conscience or integrity. In relation to this issue, the San Francisco Chronicle (11/25) offered some stats. The editorial states: No one mentioned $5.6 million in lobbying expenses by food makers who have a piece of an $11 billion federal school lunch program that just turned more indigestible. When the subject of the school lunch improvements came up at our Thanksgiving dinner table, it quickly led to our venting frustration with the whole political debacle in Washington. We despaired over the fact that corporate interests obviously have one goal only maximizing profits no matter what the consequences. We came to the conclusion that we feel like a bunch of flies caught in a political cobweb alarmed about the problem but unable to do anything about it. We agree with what David Brooks wrote in The Social Animal. He reminds us that when politics is no longer about tradeoffs, it becomes a contest for honor and group supremacy. Amidst this partisan ugliness, he wrote, public trust in government and political institutions collapses. As we discussed this, it grieved us immensely because we felt that all we can do is wait to be consumed by the insidious web-spinning connivers. We wondered if the problem of unhealthy diets, especially among children and youth, has passed the point of no return. When we considered how many children no longer eat food cooked from scratch, are bombarded with television commercials for junk food, and whenever they have money to spend on meals and snacks, are most likely to frequent fast-food places and/or grab a liter of Coke and some chips at a convenience store, the problem seems almost insurmountable. Yet we firmly believe that much good could result from improvements in school lunches and that if anything should be a bipartisan effort in Congress, this is it. As Walsh wrote, Its too often shallow rhetoric when we say that our children are our most important investment. We have to start acting like we mean it. Any practical program that can alleviate the problem even a little, must be lauded and supported. That brought to mind what Sam Harris wrote in The Moral Landscape that can be applied to recalcitrant politicians who apparently have no conscience, no integrity, no interest in anything but their political benefactors and in getting re-elected. It is possible to be wrong and not know it (we call this ignorance). It is possible to be wrong and know it, but to be reluctant to incur the social cost of admitting this publicly (we call this hypocrisy). And it may be possible to be wrong, to dimly glimpse this fact, but to allow the fear of being wrong to increase ones commitment to ones erroneous beliefs (we call this self-deception). After all that, I considered asking the group what Republican they think should be nominated for president. But I didnt want to start a riot while we were eating our pumpkin pie and carrot cake.

monthly meeting, the ministers also released the latest installment of emergency loans for Greece. Europes proposals for wriggling out of a potential financial catastrophe have become more radical as borrowing costs for the regions large economies, including Spain and Italy, spike. President Barack Obama said in a meeting with top EU officials Monday that if Europe failed to solve its crisis, the U.S. economy would suffer. Acting with new urgency, Europes finance ministers were considering wide-ranging plans for protecting its shared currency, the euro, from collapsing. Many of those ideas would have been off-limits until recently, including having countries cede some control over their finances to a central European authority. In the latest sign of trouble, Italy was forced to pay a high interest rate on an auction of three-year debt Tuesday. The 7.89 percent rate was nearly three percentage points higher than last month, an enormous increase.

Investors were also encouraged by new efforts from European leaders to find more aggressive cures for the regions debt crisis. The Dow Jones industrial average ended with a gain of 32 points, following a 291-point surge Monday. Retail stocks were among the biggest gainers. Home Depot Inc. rose 5.3 percent.

Stocks started higher and gained momentum after 10 a.m., when the Conference Board, a private research group, reported that its Consumer Confidence Index jumped in November to its highest level since July. That news and the surge in holiday shopping reassured investors that the U.S. economy might be sputtering back to life, said Quincy Krosby, market strategist for Prudential Financial. For the market, the fact that Americans are spending is a positive force, said Krosby. European finance ministers gathered Tuesday to hash out the latest ideas for squelching the crisis.

SAN FRANCISCO Government regulators are sharing some alarming information about Facebook: They believe the online social network has often misled its more than 800 million users about the sanctity of their personal information. The unflattering portrait of Facebooks privacy practices emerged Tuesday in a Federal Trade Commission complaint alleging that Facebook exposed details about users lives without getting legally required consent. In
some cases, the FTC charged, Facebook allowed potentially sensitive details to be passed along to advertisers and software developers prowling for customers. To avoid further legal wrangling, Facebook agreed to submit to government audits of its privacy practices every other year for the next two decades. The company committed to getting explicit approval from its users a process known as opting in before changing their privacy controls. The FTCs truce with Facebook, along with previous settlements with Google and Twitter, is helping to estab-
lish more ground rules for online privacy expectations even as Internet companies regularly vacuum up insights about their audiences in an effort to sell more advertising. Although Facebook didnt acknowledge any wrongdoing in the legal papers it signed with the FTC, Facebook cofounder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg was more contrite in a blog post Tuesday. Im the rst to admit that weve made a bunch of mistakes, Zuckerberg wrote. In particular, I think that a small number of high-prole mistakes ... have often overshadowed much of the good work weve done.

I think this will be a good holiday shopping season.... But the question is what will happen after that?

NEW YORK Americans are beginning to feel more condent about the U.S. economy just as the all-important Christmas shopping season begins. But their optimism may be short-lived. Consumer condence surged in November to its highest level since July, a sign that Americans may be more willing to spend, the Conference Board reported Tuesday. Consumers appear to be entering the holiday season in better spirits, Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board Consumer Research Center, said in a statement. But condence is still painfully below what is typically seen during a healthy economy. And Americans could start to feel more skittish if the debt crisis in Europe deepens and stokes fears of another recession in the U.S. I think this will be a good holiday shopping season, said Mark Vitner, senior U.S. economist at Wells Fargo. But the question is
what will happen after that? The Conference Board, a private research rm, said its Consumer Condence Index climbed 15 points in November to 56.0. That is the highest it has been since the 59.2 reading over the summer. That is still well below the level of 90 that indicates an economy on solid footing. The condence numbers follow other encouraging signs: Every month for the past year except one, spending by Americans has grown 2 percent or more from a year earlier, according to government data. Americans spent $52.4 billion over the four-day Thanksgiving Day weekend, the highest total ever recorded during the traditional start to the holiday shopping season, according to the National Retail Federation. The average shopper spent a record $398.62, up from $365.34 a year ago, the NRF said.
And sales on Cyber Monday, the rst online shopping day after the Thanksgiving weekend, rose 22 percent from a year ago to $1.25 billion, the biggest online sales day in history, the research rm comScore Inc. reported. Retailers count on the holiday shopping season for as much as 40 percent of their annual sales. According to the consumer index, Americans anxiety regarding shortterm business conditions, jobs and income prospects eased considerably after six months of declines. Americans expecting more jobs in the months ahead rose to 12.9 percent from 10.8 percent, for instance, while those expecting fewer jobs declined to 24.1 percent from 27.6 percent the previous month. And the proportion of consumers anticipating an increase in their income climbed to 14.9 percent from 11.1 percent.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Labor ofcials have moved to cut off federal contracts held by one of the nations largest meatpackers, saying it discriminated against women and non-Asians. The U.S. Labor Department claims Cargill Meat Solutions discriminated against more than 4,000 qualied people who applied for entry-level jobs at the companys plant in Springdale, Ark., with women less likely to be hired and Asians and Pacic Islanders unfairly favored over other races. Federal ofcials said Tuesday they want to cancel Cargills existing government contracts and prevent future contracts until the company stops what they call discriminatory practices. Cargill Meat Solutions currently holds contracts worth more than $550 million with the U.S.
Department of Defense, labor ofcials said. This is an unfortunate case in which thousands of qualied workers were denied the opportunity to compete fairly for jobs in a tough economy, said Patricia A. Shiu, director of the departments Ofce of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, in a statement. Shiu said the ofce is prepared to use every tool at its disposal, including canceling federal contracts, to achieve equal opportunity for workers. Cargill Meat Solutions, a subsidiary of Minneapolis-based Cargill, Inc., blamed the problem on documentation, saying there wasnt a satisfactory record of why it didnt hire certain candidates. Cargill spokesman Mike Martin said minorities make up 84 percent of the 1,300 people employed at the Springdale plant and the accusation appears to be based on a statistical analysis of the job market rather than a review of specic applicants.

American Airlines used to bill itself as something special in the air, and it was. It was the rst airline to offer curbside check-in. The rst with computerized reservations. It invented the frequent-ier program and came up with the deeply discounted Super Saver fare to ll empty seats on its planes. But it was disastrously behind on one thing recognizing that its nances were unsustainable. In the past decade, other airlines cut expenses in bankruptcy reorganizations. American plodded along with high labor costs and aging, gas-guzzling jets. Other airlines found merger partners. American was the awkward kid at the middle school dance. American was left with little spare cash to make improvements or take risks. The money ran out,

and on Tuesday, the time did, too. American led for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. They were the most innovative airline for years. Nobody could touch them, says George Hobica, who runs Airfare Watchdog, a site that alerts iers to discount fares. Theyre a shadow of their former self. Some of Americans 78,000 workers will almost certainly lose their jobs or have their pay or pensions cut. Its creditors will lose money. And its stockholders will be wiped out. The stock, which traded above $40 in 2007, closed Tuesday at 33 cents. The bankruptcy ling is a black
mark for American, which traces its routes to carrying mail for the government in the 1920s and was, in the decades between, a pioneer in the nations skies. American Airlines is a link to the way travel used to be, says Edward Pizzarello, 37, an executive with a private equity rm who has more than 500,000 lifetime miles with the airline. It reminds me of a time when people got dressed up in their Sunday best to hop on a plane and y around the world. In 1936, American was the rst airline to y the Douglas DC-3, the rst plane designed to carry enough passengers it seated 21 to be protable without making money
from mail or cargo. Mail was no longer the priority. Passengers were. In 1942, American started a catering business, Sky Chefs, to provide meals to its customers. After World War II, Pan Am and TWA dominated international routes, while American and United focused on the domestic skies. In 1948, American rolled out coach seats and family fare plans to make ying economical. Nine years later came the American Airlines Stewardess College, the worlds rst facility dedicated to ight attendant training. Two years later, American became the rst airline to offer nonstop, coast-to-coast jet service with the Boeing 707. Flying time: Five hours, about the same as today. But it wasnt until the 1970s that American
and its iconic silver jets really started to shine. American introduced routes to the Caribbean and expanded its sophisticated computer reservation system to travel agents. The system, known as Sabre, later became the guts for Travelocity and remains in wide use. Today, 300 million passengers a year use it to browse itineraries and make air, hotel and car reservations. Passengers in the 70s were lured by ads promoting the luxury eet and promising them the best of everything. They also got cheap fares. Super Saver fares made American the rst to gure out how to ll empty seats. They also led to the divide between business fares and cheaper, book-in-advance leisure fares that exists to this day. In 1978, the government deregulated the airline industry, leaving the airlines to set their own routes and prices. Americans leaders knew what it would mean for business. American responded by developing the cost-efcient hub-and-spoke system we know today. Millions of passengers were suddenly changing planes in Dallas or Chicago to get to their destination.

The numbers for Menlo-Athertons Cameron Moody, following the Bears seminal win over Salinas in the CCS Division I playoffs, were nothing short of spectacular. But if theres one play that truly denes the 5-7, 160-pound running back, it was a touchdown run midway through the rst quarter. On said play, Moody took a handoff from quarterback Willy Fonua and burst through the Cowboys defensive line on the right side. Once he was through into the second level of the defense, safety Kyle Salao ran up to try and make a tackle. But Moody stepped to this right and juked to his left. While it isnt conrmed, chances are Salao is still wondering where his ankles are and 48 yards later, No. 4 was in the end zone. Cameron ran with some heart, said Menlo-Atherton coach Sione Taufoou. He broke so many tackles it was unbelievable. The O-Line blocked very well. Moody saved his best performance of the season for when the Bears needed him the most. As Moody shredded the Salinas defense time and time again, his Bears drew closer and closer to the CCS nals. And when the horn sounded marking the end of their 49-14 victory, Moody and his team celebrated in the middle of their home eld, chanting, We going to the ship (championship game)! We going to the ship! Moody played the biggest part in M-A booking a trip to Saturdays nal against Serra High School at Terra Nova. For his efforts, Moody is the Daily Journal Athlete of the Week. At the beginning of the game, we knew they (Salinas) were going to come out and hit hard, Moody said. We just had to keep our legs running, just protect the ball and keep our feet going. We were very patient. I have to give big credit to the offensive line. They opened up big holes and we just busted it right when we got to those holes all the credit to the O-Line. How about 451 yards worth of credit? Moody wasnt exaggerating when talking about the size of his running lanes. All game long, Moody and fellow running back Taylor Mashack would go untouched to the second level of the Salinas defense. From then on, it was all about Moody putting on a show.

Its only a couple weeks into the college basketball season, yet the College of San Mateo womens team is steadily moving forward. The Bulldogs have nished the feeling out portion of the schedule with a 4-2 mark after sweeping a pair of games last week against Hartnell and American River. CSM will take a step up in competition beginning this weekend as the Bulldogs continue to prepare for the Coast Conference season. They will be the only Northern California team at the Cuesta College tournament in San Luis Obispo. CSM coach Michelle Warner believes four or ve teams could qualify for the Northern California tournament out of the Coast Conference and she expects the Bulldogs to be in the postseason mix. Thats our goal, Warner said. CSM (4-2 overall) goes into the Cuesta tournament with a lot of condence, coming off back-to-back wins last week: a 91-54 decision over American River Saturday and a 79-58 victory over Hartnell Nov. 22. Offensively, theyre starting to see [what we want them to do], Warner said. Defensively, to this point, its good. Theres always things we can improve on. The offense is humming along with four players scoring in double gures and a fth knocking at the door. All ve scored 10 or more against American River, led by Vanessa Castillos 20. Chesca Roth scored a careerhigh 18, while Hannan Salah and Nicole McDonald chipped in with 11 each. Kimmie Fung, who leads the team in scoring at over 13 points a game, added 10. The 91 points were the most a CSM team has scored since the 1997-98 season. We were nally putting the ball in the basket, Warner said. It allowed the girls to relax.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. Ndamukong Suh is going back to the NFL, this time hoping for some leniency. The league suspended Detroits All-Pro defensive tackle without pay for two games on Tuesday, punishing the second-year player for roughing up a Green Bay Packers offensive lineman after the whistle last week. Suh promptly appealed his suspension, hoping his stomp doesnt keep him away from his playoffhopeful teammates when they need him most. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Suhs hearing will be with Art Shell, an appointed appeal ofcer who is paid by the league and NFLPA. As of late Tuesday afternoon, the hearing hadnt been scheduled, but the league has said it will expedite the procedure to give Suh and Lions an answer before Sundays game at New Orleans. If Suh doesnt win the appeal, he wont play against the Saints or in the Dec. 11 home game against Minnesota. He would return Dec. 12 ahead of a road game against Oakland. Suh is barred from practice and the teams
facility while suspended. He did not return messages left with his agent. As a player, you have to appeal it, said Detroit defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch, the teams union rep. Im sure the NFLPA will be on his side to make Ndamukong sure that he gets a fair hearing. Suh If the NFL turns rejects the appeal, Suh will be watching the Lions (74) scramble to keep up in the NFC wild-card race after what the league said was his fth violation of on-eld rules in his rst two years in the NFL. And everyone saw the latest one. Suh lifted up his right knee and forcibly stepped on Evan Dietrich-Smiths right arm during the third quarter of the Lions 27-15 loss last Thursday in a nationally televised Thanksgiving Day game. Before the stomp seen from coast to coast, Suh shoved DietrichSmiths helmet toward the turf while separating himself from the Packers player on the ground. It might have hurt Suhs case when he sounded deant during his postgame news confer-
ence, insisting he didnt intentionally step on his opponent. After the Lions criticized his conduct Friday, Suh issued an apology to his teammates, organization and fans not to DietrichSmith as some around the league said his latest outburst proved he was the NFLs dirtiest player. Ill let him speak for himself when he gets that opportunity, but Ive had a lot of conversations with him the last two days and I think he is in a different spot, Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Tuesday. I think his No. 1 thing is, he didnt want to be a distraction for the team. He wanted the team to be able to focus on the Saints and he wants to be accountable for his actions. Earlier this season, the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year requested a meeting with Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss his play after he drew several penalties and another ne. Suh said he had a better understanding of the rules after that meeting four weeks ago. On Sunday, he called Goodell to apologize but that didnt appear to help. Lions offensive linemen Dominic Raiola and Rob Sims refused to answer questions about Suh after Tuesdays practice. Vanden Bosch,
though, believes everyone in the locker room supports Suh, who he spoke with on Tuesday. His biggest regret is the affect it had on the team, Vanden Bosch said. It was an unfortunate situation. When youre on the eld, a lot of things happen when youre playing with so much emotion in such a physical game. Its difcult to look at the grand scheme of things when youre in the heat of the moment. Theres no question hed like to have the moment back, but hes dealing with the repercussions of it and we are as well. The Lions will have a roster exception during Suhs suspension, meaning they can sign someone to replace him or bolster some other spot on the team. Dietrich-Smith wasnt available to reporters in Green Bay on Tuesday, but other Packers players heard of the suspension. Linebacker Desmond Bishop said Suh probably deserved it. He did something wrong, suspended, hell pay the ne or whatever and hopefully (hell be) back and itll change him a little bit from doing something like that, Bishop said. Guard T.J. Lang said the team was moving forward and wasnt worried about Suh.
HOUSTON The injury-riddled Houston Texans added to their quarterback depth Tuesday, reaching a deal with Jake Delhomme. Delhomme worked out with the Texans on Tuesday, along with another retired quarterback, Jeff Garcia. The 36-year-old Delhomme will back up rookie T.J. Yates, a fthround pick slated to start Sundays game against Atlanta. Rick Smith, Delhommes agent, said in a phone interview Tuesday that his client has been staying in shape Jake and raising racehorses in Delhomme Louisiana since he was cut by Cleveland in July. He relishes that role, and hes looking forward to contributing to the team, Smith said in a phone interview. He keeps himself in shape, hes been throwing a bunch. The Texans are dangerously thin at the position in the wake of season-ending injuries to Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart. Houston signed Kellen Clemens last week after learning that Schaub will need season-ending surgery on his right foot. Leinart broke his
left collarbone in Sundays 20-13 win over Jacksonville. Yates replaced Leinart late in the rst half, and went 8 for 15 for 70 yards in his rst NFL action. Coach Gary Kubiak conrmed Monday that Leinart was out for the year and said Yates would start against the Falcons. Smith didnt know if Delhomme would be No. 2 or No. 3 on the depth chart this week. But Smith said Delhomme would only consider playing for a handful of teams if he ever came back, and Houston was one of them. Gary runs a very quarterback-friendly system, said Smith, who also represents former Texans quarterback Sage Rosenfels. Its a great offensive system, and quarterbacks, they love it. Delhomme guided Carolina to the Super Bowl after the 2003 season played at Reliant Stadium. He completed 16 of 33 passes for 323 yards and three touchdowns in the Panthers 3229 loss to Tom Brady and New England. Houston plays the Panthers at Reliant on Dec. 18. Cleveland signed Delhomme to a two-year contract in March 2010, but he sprained his right ankle in the opener, lost his starting job to rookie Colt McCoy and played in only ve games. He threw only two touchdown passes with seven interceptions that season. But the Texans could hardly afford to be picky.

STANFORD` With a week to wait to learn the programs postseason fate and the announcement of the Heisman Trophy finalists, Stanfords David Shaw is playing more politics than football at the moment. The rst-year head coach delivered a vivid visual presentation to reporters Tuesday, giving an indepth look at Andrew Lucks talents and unique play-calling responsibilities. He also stumped for Luck on a national teleconference and pleaded with voters to look beyond statistics, study how Luck runs the offense and what he has meant to college football this season. The thing is, the campaign for Andrew Luck started the day he came back, Shaw said. And it didnt start by us. He was the face of college football for the entire offseason. He was the face of college football when there were scandals
and all this upheaval and theres all these things going on. He shouldnt be penalized because he has been critiqued more than any Andrew Luck other player. He was the one positive story for the entire offseason. While Luck is unanimously projected as the No. 1 overall pick in Aprils NFL draft, winning college footballs most prestigious award is far less certain. Toby Gerhart and Luck also nished second the last two years, and Shaw would rather not leave anything to chance. So he turned his weekly roundtable with reporters into a Heisman blitz. Shaw moved into an auditorium and had a projector complete with a multimedia staff during a 30-minute presentation broadcast live on the
Stanford website. Photos of the bronze statue and Luck stiff-arming a Notre Dame defender mimicking the Heisman pose provided the backdrop to Shaws speech. Shaw trumpeted Lucks level of input even downplaying the coachs responsibilities over the offense, describing in detail what he believes makes the quarterback different from any other player in the nation. Luck takes 270-300 plays into every game, and every game the calls are different. About half of those are written on his wristband and a linemans wristband. The rest are from memory. All Shaw does is call the formation and three plays for Luck to take to the line of scrimmage, and Luck still has the option to audible to a fourth. The quarterback makes the nal decision. The complexity of Stanfords playbook which Shaw said is thicker than any other college program he has seen is hard to under-
estimate. An example of one call Luck takes to the line: Green Right Slot: Z Counter, 96 Tango Edge, Kill Spider 2, Y Banana Reno Alert, 6 Zeus. Try remembering that, Shaw said. I studied quarterbacks for nine years in the NFL. Ive never heard of a quarterback doing this in college. Never seen it. Never heard it. Its a lot of words to comprehend. This is not statistics. This is a guy deciding what we do, and he does it better than anybody. Oh, Shaw also had statistics. Luck has lifted No. 4 Stanford (11-1, 8-1 Pac-12) to consecutive 11-win seasons for the rst time and owns every major school passing record. The Cardinal are in position for a second straight BCS bowl this for a losing program when Luck arrived and are in the top ve of every major offensive category. Stanford also has had the fewest negative plays in the nation, scored on 63 of 64 trips to the red zone and Luck threw 26 touchdown passes
with no turnovers inside the 20-yard line and did it all without the benet of a standout wide receiver, utilizing tight ends and fullbacks to create space without speed. All that still might not be enough. Alabamas Trent Richardson, Baylors Robert Griffin III, Houstons Case Keenum and Southern Californias Matt Barkley all could argue they had better seasons than Luck. Shaw counters by noting every player has at least one loss, and by contending that Luck is the best player in the nation and the program would be lost without him. What Shaw also points to is the way Luck has carried himself this season, a humble student in every sense who would rather deflect attention than be the center of it. Shaw even had to sit Luck down this week and tell him to stop downplaying his skills, and practically apologized to the quarterback ahead of his media saturation. Andrew hates this stuff, Shaw said.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Syracuse University Chancellor Nancy Cantor gave mens basketball coach Jim Boeheim a vote of confidence Tuesday amid an investigation of child molestation allegations against his former longtime assistant coach. Cantor emerged from an economic development conference with state
officials and said: Coach Boeheim is our coach. Some commentators and sex abuse victims advocates had said Jim Boeheim Boeheim should resign or be red after three men, including two former Syracuse ballboys, accused former
assistant coach Bernie Fine of molesting them and Boeheim verbally attacked the accusers. Coach Boeheim is our coach; hes getting the team ready tonight, Cantor said. Were very pleased with what he said Sunday night, and we stand by him. In his 36th season at his alma mater, Hall of Famer Boeheim ranks fth all-time in wins in Division I and has a record 33 20-win seasons. In 2004, the university named the
Carrier Dome court Jim Boeheim Court. After initially saying Fines rst two accusers were lying to make money in the wake of the Penn State University sexual abuse scandal, Boeheim backed off those comments in a statement Sunday. What is most important is that this matter be fully investigated and that anyone with information be supported to come forward so that the truth can be found, Boeheim said after the
ring of Fine, who has denied the allegations. I deeply regret any statements I made that might have inhibited that from occurring or been insensitive to victims of abuse. Bobby Davis first contacted Syracuse police in 2002 about Fine, but there was no investigation because the statute of limitations had passed. Kevin Quinn, a spokesman for the university, said police did not inform the university of Davis allegations then.

at the end of the day I think the girls learned a lot about themselves. We were faced with a lot of adversity and they rose to the challenge. They played hard, they played proud and they did the best that they could do. Even without Spindt, M-A came out and battled against the defending state champions. Down 17-10, the Bears fought back behind the play of Pauli King and Katelyn Doherty to pull within one point at 18-17. But Palo Alto rolled from there, feeding the machine that is middle blocker Melanie Wade. The Vikings scored the nal seven points to take the set 25-17. Palo Alto is a good team and they werent going to give us any slack, Wilson said, adding that in Game 1 her girls executed the game plan and forced Palys big hitters to step up. I think we rose to the challenge and the girls should hold their heads high. We knew it was going to be a challenge. People were playing positions they hadnt play all season until tonight. Thats going to be tough for anyone going into that situation. Every team makes mistakes, and we told the girls they need to rally and move on, adjust, learn and adapt because every point is a new start. Palo Alto owned Game 2. The Vikings took the Bears completely out of their game, got all the bounces and steamrolled M-A in the second set 25-9. Wade had four kills in the set and Maddie Kuppe added ve of her own. I think the difference between the rst game, and really the last match too, is that we didnt execute on the things we knew we could control, Wilson said. We didnt serve as tough as we needed to, we served to a libero instead of our other targets and our passing broke down. And when you cant pass, you cant execute, you cant do anything. You dont have a chance to play the ball. So, I think they got stuck in a sticky rotation and we couldnt nd a way to get out of it. By the time we did get out of it, we were too far behind to catch up.
Katelyn Doherty attempts a kill in Tuesdays NorCal nal against Palo Alto. The Vikings swept the Bears 3-0 to advance to the state title game Saturday.Doherty led all Bears with 11 kills in the match.
Paly took the momentum of that second game and rode it into Game 3. Small spurts here and there early gave the Vikings a 14-7 lead before the Bears could actually start making moves. Seini Moimoi became the focus of M-As attack, but the Vikings were much too touch behind Wade, Kuppe and the passing of Kimmy Whitson. The Bears battled tough, but lost the set, the match and the NorCal title 2515. We tried to adjust and work with the strengths of our team and put together a lineup that matched up well against theirs, Wilson said. I think that we did but what can you say when you have one of your best players out. I was really proud of the girls because they really put the team ahead of themselves tonight, which can be really hard to do. We had a record-breaking season for our school, our school has never been to the NorCal nals, so were trying to focus on the positive moments. The only thing were sad about is that we dont get to continue to play as a team, she said.
NEW YORK With hundreds of boxes of food sitting behind them ready to be distributed to Brooklyn families, LeBron James and his famous friends were determined to stay on message. More than two dozen media members crowded around James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul on Tuesday, and question after question came about the NBA with a tentative deal in place to end the lockout. Will Paul leave New Orleans to join Anthony with the Knicks? Are the new rules designed to prevent stars from abandoning smaller-market teams as James and Anthony did? As far as the ins and outs about the deal, we wont discuss today, James said. LeBron James Were going to discuss about how excited I am, how excited we are, about the game of basketball being back and about all the people who have been out of jobs and the fans who have been out of watching basketball for the 140-plus days from the lockout. Its a great moment for all of us. Paul can become a free agent after this season, and the new agreement would still allow the Hornets to send him to another team through a sign-and-trade deal to get something in return if it appears hes determined to leave. New York has been his long-rumored destination. Paul insisted my heart is in New Orleans. Ah, man, I have no idea about that different type stuff, he said. I think right now the thing Im most focused on is getting all these boxes out of my house in North Carolina and getting everything shipped back to New Orleans so I can get ready for the season. Paul was in New York at a community center in Brooklyn for this day to help distribute
800 meals to local families through Anthonys foundation in conjunction with Feed the Children and Boys & Girls Clubs of America. These guys are not even from around here, they dont even play here, but they came back to somebody elses community to give back, and I think that should be the topic of discussion today, Anthony said. No such luck. Anthony was asked about the scandal swirling at his alma mater, Syracuse, where longtime assistant Bernie Fine was red after molestation allegations and coach Jim Boeheim has heard calls to resign. My heart goes out to the families. I have no comment about the Fine situation or the Boeheim situation, Anthony said. Thats a sensitive situation, a sensitive topic right now that I dont even want to go into. NBA players and owners reached a handshake agreement early Saturday, and the four stars said Tuesday they were hopeful their counterparts would vote to approve the deal. Games would start on Christmas, including Boston at New York and Miami at Dallas. Somebody noted that James and Wades Heat had longer than normal to stew after losing in the nals. Wade agreed, though Paul interjected: Not as long as us. Indeed, the Hornets and Knicks each lost in the rst round of the playoffs. Were excited about another opportunity, Wade said of his Miami team that so polarized fans after James and Chris Bosh joined him there. Hopefully everyone stays healthy and we just get an opportunity to come out every night and put our best team on the court and see what we get. Weighty expectations also confront Anthony and the Knicks with or without Paul after he was traded from Denver during last season. We had a short run last year, Anthony said. And now we get a training camp together. We get time to jell.

The professional league in the United States is obviously a league the world looks at, the Swiss said. It was the rst professional league for womens football and it plays in a huge country known as one of the strongest countries in women football. I think its important that the league continues. It would really be a pity for womens football if, in the U.S., there is no professional league. WPS averaged 3,518 in attendance this year, down from 3,601 in 2010 and 4,683 in 2009. English national team player Eniola Aluko, who plays in the league for Sky Blue, suggested WPS should have taken a more conservative approach. It has brought together the best players in the world for the most professional league, Aluko said. I was fortunate to join in the inaugural year when all the players were having fantastic salaries. Haenni and Aluko were speaking on a panel at the only workshop of about 20 across three days dedicated to the womens game. Its sad, really,Aluko said. Its difcult. Were sitting here saying womens football is the fastest growing sport, but at the same time the best league is struggling. I hope the WPS gures out a way of stabilizing itself. Haenni suggested FIFA needs to focus more on the womens game, although she acknowledged there has been progress. She said most of FIFAs development programs targeted the game in general, but not women specically.

Clay Bauer signed with Oregon State, Danny Chavez opted for San Jose State, Danny Grazzini chose UC Davis and Mike Kathan is going to the University of San Francisco.

It might seem that getting eight nights worth of presents is the best thing about Hanukkah, but it isnt. The doughnuts are. Here in the U.S., as well as in Europe, crispy, fried potato latkes are the best known food for celebrating the legendary miracle of one days worth of oil that burned in the temple for eight days. But, puffy doughnuts called sufganiyot (which means sponge, describing the texture) can rival potato pancakes in popularity, especially in Israel. Many food historians say that in the past, potatoes were more abundant in Northern and Eastern Europe, while in the Middle East and Africa, wheat and other grains were more widely available. Not surprisingly, when it came to celebrating Hanukkah by cooking foods in oil, people fried what was easiest to get. However, given Americans love of doughnuts, sufganiyot are growing in popularity stateside. Tehiya Benezra, who along with her husband Michael opened the North Shore Kosher Bakery in Chicago after emigrating from Israel, says the numbers speak for themselves. For the week leading up to, and during the week of Hanukkah, she says they sell 2,000 to 3,000 sufganiyot each day. And thats on top of numerous special orders, including one cultural organization that usually buys about 10,000 of the golden pastries. Benezra says the yeasted doughnuts are most commonly filled with fruit jams or custard, but in recent years caramel and fudge have become popular as well. Asked if the recent trend toward health consciousness has put a dent in sufganiyot sales, Benezra says the opposite seems to be true. People dont generally buy and eat the Hanukkah doughnuts every day, but she says more people in general seem to be partaking of the latke alternative. Dennis Wasko, a kosher personal chef and instructor at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Chicago, also has seen demand increase. He says many of his clients request the fried treats during Hanukkah, and to satisfy them he offers both sweet and savory versions. Sweet varieties usually are made in the traditional filled doughnut fashion, but savory versions are made with either a less sweet yeast dough or a light pate a choux pastry stuffed with fillings such as seasoned pumpkin or sauteed Swiss chard with raisins and tomatoes. Sufganiyot are delicious when served hot out of the fryer and Wasko offers some tips for success when making them. Be patient and give the yeast dough plenty of time to rise. Wasko says the texture as well as flavor will be better. He even recommends letting the dough rise slowly, wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator. This allows the yeast to develop a fruity flavor. Wasko prefers using cold-pressed canola oil, which he likes for its neutral to slightly nutty flavor. But he says that if you want to be really traditional, use extra-virgin olive oil. Make sure to use a frying thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. Most people, he says, forget that when you add pieces of dough to the hot oil you need to adjust the temperature to keep the oil from cooling
down. Cool oil will give you greasy results. Our buttermilk sufganiyot are sweet, slightly chewy and reminiscent of the famous beignets of New Orleans.

Set aside. In a small saucepan over medium, heat the milk until steaming but not boiling. Remove the pan from the heat and add the buttermilk. Pour the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Whisk in the yeast and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes. Coat a large bowl with vegetable oil, then set aside. Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened and form a ball, about 3 minutes. Increase speed to medium and continue mixing for 2 minutes more. The dough will be quite sticky. Transfer the dough to the prepared bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a draft-free spot. Let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Fill a deep saute pan or large pot with about 3 inches of oil. Heat over medium to 375 F.

A beef brisket supper is associated with many of the Jewish holidays, but perhaps none more regularly than Hanukkah. And theres a good reason the festival of lights lasts a full eight days and always includes a Friday night Sabbath meal. Sure, brisket is an inexpensive yet delicious cut that feeds a crowd and turns meltingly tender when cooked slowly at a low temperature. But its that last part that makes it perfect for a Sabbath supper when the cooking needs to be nished before sunset. Brisket is the perfect make-ahead meal. Other Hanukkah traditions call for dairy meals and, of course, fried foods such as the ubiquitous potato latke to celebrate the legend of the tiny amount of oil that burned for a miraculous eight days in the Jewish temple. But there almost always is a meat-based meal, as well. Brisket is an inexpensive yet delicious cut that feeds a crowd and turns meltingly tender when Meat guru Bruce Aidells remembers that cooked slowly at a low temperature. his grandmother, who kept a kosher home,
always had an onion- and carrot-smothered brisket for Hanukkah served alongside crispy potato pancakes. He says there was invariably a roasted chicken served, too. Aidells, who is author of The Complete Meat Cookbook, says his own mother prepared a brisket, as well, but braised it in a more traditional fashion using a jar of chili sauce, lots of onions and some onion soup mix for additional avor in the gravy. Kosher chef Laura Frankel says she has a hunch that this tradition of braising a brisket is the reason that the roasted chicken often accompanies the meal. That brisket shrinks so much when its cooked in liquid, says Frankel, that all those Jewish mothers out there worried they wouldnt have enough food, so they would throw a chicken in the oven as well. As a result, Frankel, who authored Jewish Slow Cooker Recipes, likes to cook her Hanukkah brisket covered, at a very low heat, simply sitting on a bed of vegetables, which she later turns into a sauce with some wine

This Hanukkah, Napa Valley winemaker Judd Finkelstein will get out the big frying pan, the one that covers all four burners, and cook latkes the way his dad used to. And alongside the crisp potato pancakes hell serve a sparkling wine, just right for cutting through and complementing the fatty goodness. Hell also serve his own Judds Hill Estate pinot noir, a light-bodied red with enough acidity to keep things fresh-tasting. There will be brisket on the table, too, and for that he might turn to a cabernet sauvignon, a traditional pairing, or a ripe, juicy zinfandel that will pick up on the heartiness of the meat. Pairing wine with the traditional Hanukkah meal can be a challenge thanks to its emphasis on fried and sweet foods, but its certainly not impossible. Joe Campanale, beverage director and co-owner of several Manhattan restaurants, including LArtusi, dell anima and Anfora, sees Hanukkah pairings as being akin to Thanksgiving, with its big mish-mash of avors, not to mention personalities. Campanale, who grew up celebrating
Hanukkah, says the meals are typically, a lot of different avors, different types of foods. Its going to be a lot of family together. Id try to go for something that is a crowd-pleasing kind of wine that also pairs well with a variety of different foods, wines that are more acid-driven, that are crisp, that are actually going to cleanse your palate. For red wines, that could mean a barbera, a red wine from northwestern Italy, or a white wine from Frances Loire Valley. On the domestic front, he recommends a wine like Sandhi Santa Barbara County Chardonnay that has been aged in neutral oak to give it more acidity and freshness. Another possibility is Yarden Galilee Sauvignon Blanc 2009, imported from Israel. Crisp, lively wines are a good choice at Hanukkah to go with the fried foods and dairy that are a big part of the holiday. Hanukkah, which begins Dec. 20 this year, celebrates the rededication of the holy temple in Jerusalem, and fried foods mark the story of a small jug of oil that miraculously kept a ame burning for eight days as a part of the ritual. Latkes, a kind of potato pancake, are a staple. Styles vary from mild to spicy, so thats something to think about before choosing a wine, says Finkelstein.
Brisket is another holiday favorite and here, too, the important thing when it comes to wine pairing is paying attention to how it is cooked. At the Finkelsteins, the brisket will be braised with onions, tomato and garlic, hence the cab and zinfandel pairing options. Looking to try a few cocktails this Hanukkah? Distillery No. 209 in San Francisco, producer of No. 209 gin, makes a special version of their product, No. 209 Kosher for Passover Gin. It was developed so observant Jews could enjoy gin over Passover, but it works for Hanukkah, too, says head distiller Arne Hillesland. Gin and red meats like beef are just made for each other, he says. Hes even got a solution for the tricky issue of sufganiyot, the jelly doughnuts that are traditional at Hanukkah. Try a classic Alexander cocktail, he advises, one part gin, one part creme de cacao and one part heavy cream. Its a wonderful dessert cocktail, he says. And if youre looking for a one-sizets-all solution, Campanale agrees with Finkelstein that sparkling wine is a good choice. Hanukkahs a celebration, he says, and whats more celebratory than bubbles?
MIAMI When vegan bakery BabyCakes NYC recently opened a satellite shop in downtown Disney World, honesty wasnt a virtue. The shops teal signs touting their dairy- and egg-free treats proved too much for the mostly middle American, indulgent vacationers passing by. It was more of a repellant, said owner Erin McKenna. People were just walking away. Within a few days, the scary v word on the sign was made much smaller. And soon, unsuspecting walk-in customers were gushing over agave sweetened vanilla cupcakes with lemon frosting and chocolate whoopie pies, unaware they were made sans eggs, milk and butter. McKenna took the same approach when she opened her New York bakery in 2005 letting the desserts, rather than the vegan message, speak for themselves. I didnt want people to automatically write us off and not come in, said McKenna, who also has a bakery in Los Angeles. I was condent the stuff I was making was good enough to compete with other stuff on the market. Celebrity vegans like Lea Michele and Alicia Silverstone might help boost the lifestyle as a sexy new food trend, but for many Americans veganism remains a turn-off, conjuring images of political zealots, hippie lentil loaves and hockey puck pastries. Its one reason vegan restaurants and bakeries are increasingly nding success by downplaying what they dont include on the menu. But vegan food also has evolved, with vegan cupcakes tak-

ing top prize on Food Networks Cupcake Wars and restaurants like Candle 79, an upscale New York vegan eatery, serving Moroccan spiced chickpea cake with red pepper-coconut curry and date-apricot-ginger chutney. It doesnt matter if the meatloaf or cake is vegan so long as it tastes amazing, said Harry Balzer, chief industry analyst for The NPD Group, a consumer marketing research rm. Marketing a delicious cake or promoting that your restaurant offers the most diverse avors will grow a business, not hocking them as vegan. When Ann Gentry opened Real Food Daily in Santa Monica, Calif., nearly 20 years ago, the menu advertised its offerings as organic vegetarian, even though everything they served actually was vegan. Vegetarians generally avoid meat, but will consume dairy and eggs. Nobody was using the word vegan, said Gentry. When she opened a second restaurant in West Hollywood ve years later, the sign boldly showcased organic vegan cuisine. I came out and said it and really it didnt change anything, said Gentry, who is expanding to another location at Los Angeles International Airport and is refurbishing the West Hollywood storefront. Gentry is considering dropping the vegan tag because the restaurant name says it all and we have a reputation and we dont have to justify who we are. Most of who we serve are people that arent necessarily vegan or vegetarian. Theyre looking for really good healthy food in a great environment, she said. Recently, Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, stumbled upon a Las Vegas bakery with decadent looking sweets in glass cases. But she assumed few, if any of the options would be dairy-free. There was no sign that noted anything at all about the v word, said Newkirk, who happily discovered many desserts at the Red Velvet Cafe were vegan and promptly devoured some tiramisu. I dont hold it against businesses who are trying not only to sell to the choir... but are trying to sell to ultra-conservatives that are hesitant ever to try Ethiopian food or a samosa or a vegan anything because thats not what theyre used to, said NewKirk. Ronalds Donuts in Las Vegas serves a mix of regular and vegan doughnuts, but doesnt advertise the vegan options. The eatery, which opened nearly 20 years ago, has developed a cultlike following in the vegan community. Weve developed a lot of vegan customers. They come from everywhere, out of country, out of town, said Janie Kang, whose husband owns the restaurant. Her vegan brother experimented with a doughnut recipe using soy shortening and swapping fresh yeast for eggs to help the doughnuts rise. Balzer says diners are dietary explorers, but only new versions of things we already know, not things we dont know. Thats why Christophers Kitchen in South Florida reworked classics like barbecue atbread with caramelized onions, thyme, avocado, red pepper, creamy nut ricotta and hunza raisins are popular. The zen-decorated eatery is perfect for the ladies-wholunch crowd in ritzy Palm Beach Gardens and is a favorite of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams.

and the drippings. The results, she says, are just as tender as a braise, but with less shrinkage. Other make-ahead meat meals that Frankel prepares include braised short ribs and a slow-cooker lamb tagine served with sweet potato latkes. Aidells still has a love for brisket and though he likes the dry roasting technique as well, says that braising is a great way to add avor to the meat. He prefers to use grass-fed beef for its superior avor. If hes looking to go leaner, hell prepare a bison brisket, which can be purchased from specialty meat shops. When shopping for a brisket, Aidells says that even when buying the leaner rst or at end of the brisket (the most common cut at grocers), look for some marbling in the meat to ensure tenderness and the best possible avor. He also recommends purchasing a brisket with at least 1/4-inch of fat on the top (called the deckle). You may have to ask your butcher to cut it this way, as briskets most often are sold trimmed

BRUSSELS Eurozone ministers sent Greece an (euro) 8 billion ($10.7 billion) Christmas rescue package Tuesday to stem an immediate cash crisis yet failed to resolve fears that the common euro currency might be doomed. Stock markets around the world rose earlier in the day, hoping that intense pressure from the bond markets would nally force the 17nation eurozone into quicker and more robust action. But even as Italys borrowing costs skyrocketed to a euro-era record, the 17 nance ministers only found a veneer of credibility to coat the euros rescue fund with more leverage. They failed to increase the bailout fund to match earlier predictions and kicked other major nancial issues like a closer scal union over to their bosses, the EU leaders meeting next week in Brussels. The ministers did agree to use the fund to offer nancial protection of 20 to 30 percent to investors who bought new bonds of troubled eurozone nations, an effort to help those countries get back to borrowing on global markets again. We made important progress on a number of fronts, Jean-Claude Juncker, the eurozone chief, insisted late Tuesday. This shows our complete determination to do whatever it takes to safeguard the nancial stability of the euro. The EUs monetary chief Olli Rehn said eurozone nations needed to work on many nancial issues at once to ease global pressure on their currency. There is no one single silver bullet that will get us out of this crisis, Rehn told reporters. But the question of how to beef up the leverage capacity of European Financial Stability Facility from its current (euro) 440 billion ($587 billion) to a hoped-for (euro) 1 trillion ($1.3 trillion) was not resolved. The fund is supposed to be a firewall that protects European nations from the nancial chaos of

their neighbors. Fund chief Klaus Regling remained vague on how beefed up it was after Tuesdays meeting in Brussels, but assured reporters it was more than big enough to deal with Europes immediate nancial debt problems. To be clear, we do not expect investors to commit large amounts of money during the next few days or weeks, Regling said. Leverage is a process over time. Dutch Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager said investors had appeared less eager than originally anticipated. It will be very difcult to reach something in the region of a trillion. Maybe half of that, he said. Italy remained an enormous concern. Carrying ve times as much debt as Greece, Italy was battered for the third straight day in the bond markets, seeing its borrowing rates soar to unsustainable levels of 7.56 percent. Investors appear increasingly wary of the countrys chances of avoiding default and making matters worse, the eurozones third largest economy is deemed too big for Europe to bail out. The ministers still insisted Italys new prime minister would come through, saying he has promised to balance Italys budget by 2013. We have full condence that Mario Monti will be able to deliver this program, Juncker said.

It airs on Showtime on Dec. 1, which is World AIDS Day. Bono said he met Keys when they recorded a cover of Marvin Gayes Whats Going On with dozens of other musicians in 2001. I was terried the moment I met her. I was shaking in my boots, he said. I was very moved by her singing of course, but what was interesting was the hard questions afterwards, and I think its those hard questions that she asks that lead her. Keys started her charity, Keep a Child Alive, in 2003. It assists those affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. She says she hopes the lm reaches out to those who want to help, but cant make it to Africa.

I dont want to put my husband through the stress. Theyve been in their current apartment nearly 32 years and, as a blind woman, Jeanne has her apartment set up just the way she likes it. It might seem cluttered or disheveled to an outsider, but it works for Jeanne. She longs for the days when the McCarthys still owned the property but realizes now that she is at the mercy of Essex. I dont care who owns the apartments, she said. We have a right to dignity, compassion and respect. There are no rent control laws in San Mateo County aside from East Palo Alto, so property owners can essentially charge whatever the market will bear. In September 2006, Essex Property Trust purchased the 697-unit Hillsdale Garden Apartments near Hillsdale Shopping Center for approximately $97.3 million from the McCarthy family, who owned the property for 50 years. The property consists of 47 buildings on more than 30 acres. It is the largest rental property in San Mateo. Renters started lodging complaints with San Mateo about sharp rent increases shortly after Essex took control of the property and made an informal agreement with the city not to raise rents by more than $200 a month in any given year. The Bergs face a $210 rent increase next year and have already seen their rent raised 62 percent since 2006 while their government checks have actually decreased. With next years rent increase, the Bergs will have seen their rent jump 99 percent since 2006 if they sign the new lease.

RENT
Continued from page 1
Bergs fought off eviction from the apartment complex they have lived in for decades after being told their rent would increase from $1,456 a month to the current $1,581 a month. In 2009, the Bergs paid $1,200 a month for the apartment and in 2006 they paid just $900 a month. When the lease renewal letter was pinned to their door last week, the Bergs thought to themselves not again. The couple reached out to the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County in January to help keep them from getting evicted from the same apartment they have lived in since 1979. When seeking more assistance from the society, they were essentially told they could not be helped until given an eviction notice. Even though their income this year is actually less than their rent, they got by with help from friends and even strangers. They have no money for food or transportation, however, and survive with assistance from Meals on Wheels and Samaritan House. Jeanne, 68, is totally blind and has lived at Hillsdale Gardens since 1964, rst living there with her grandparents. She met her husband Ron, 71, at the Hillsdale Shopping Center in 1965 where Trader Joes currently sits. Jeanne has never worked and Ron held various odd jobs at grocery stores and Macys before hitting retirement age. Recently, Ron had hip surgery and can barely move around. Jeanne also needs knee surgery in the coming months. They have a son who lives in Oregon but they have no contact with him. The Bergs know legally they cannot
stop the rent increase. They are hoping, however, to appeal to Essexs gentler side if they can nd it. Yesterday, they may have found it. After being contacted by Sandy Council, San Mateos Neighborhood Improvement and Housing manager, Essex Properties indicated it would be willing to work with the family. They have transfer options and if they downgrade it might be better for them nancially, said Veronica Beals, the general manager of Hillsdale Gardens. In an email to both Council and the Daily Journal yesterday, Beals wrote, I just wanted to let you know I spoke to Mrs. Berg today and am working with her on transfer options or a resolution to her rent increase. I know she is experiencing a hardship and will do what I can to assist her and her family through this difcult time. Jeanne was shocked to hear from Beals. I never thought the manager would get back to me. I was shocked, I couldnt believe it, she said. Moving to a smaller apartment or even moving at all is still a daunting task for the couple, however. It will take me years to adjust to a receive vacation, holiday or mandatory time off or sick leave. He will waive all other retirement and health benets. The contract also allows another $96,000 from the general fund for scal year 2012-13 which starts July 1 if the county still has not found a replacement for Boesch. A nationwide recruitment is expected to begin early next year. Either Maltbie or the board can end the contract without cause with 15 days notice and without any severance payment. Maltbie rejoins the county three years after retiring from a decades-long career and being succeeded by Boesch whom he plucked from Menlo Park ostensibly to ll his shoes. On Nov. 4, Boesch announced he was parting ways with the county, citing philosophical differcustody in lieu of $600,000 bail. Tatads alleged attack on her former spouse happened around 10:30 a.m. Nov. 26, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. The pair are divorced but living together. Further details about their relationship were unclear but Wagstaffe said it is obvious she at least still thought they had one. After a night of work, he reportedly awoke in intense pain from the hot liquid that was poured on his body. He tried running to the bathroom but was knocked down by Tatad delivering a blow from the bat, Wagstaffe said.

special meeting Tuesday morning, compensates Maltbie for his new position while allowing him to collect his $133,000 pension from his last contract with the county.

While neither Boesch nor the board were much more specific, the differences were apparently regarding overall budgeting tactics and disagreement on whether a new jail could be funded as proposed. In a memo to county employees after announcing Maltbie as acting manager, board President Carole Groom called him the ideal person to help us move forward today. Maltbie joined the county originally in March 1989 and by his 2008 retirement became a vocal champion of scal frugality, urging the county to follow a veyear plan to eliminate a structural decit on course to hit $100 million.

Each row and each column must contain the numbers 1 through 6 without repeating. The numbers within the heavily outlined boxes, called cages, must combine using the given operation (in any order) to produce the target numbers in the top-left corners. Freebies: Fill in single-box cages with the number in the top-left corner.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2011 SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Put your analytical
skills to work, so that you dont overlook any situation that could produce something that would be of a huge advantage to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be firm but also fair when it comes to any financial dealings. Dont feel obligated to give more than your share when you know you wont be compensated for it in any way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A lesson might be learned from a negative experience that you may have to endure. As long as what happens to you isnt wasted, it will be worth the unpleasantness.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Keep to yourself any ambitious undertaking that you are contemplating. Dont expose your intentions until you know you can pull if off without a hitch. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Try to include in your business meetings an associate who has been a frequent presence. With this persons vast experience, she or he may have many unique things to offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Itll be your effectiveness, not your flamboyance, that gets the attention and wins the respect of others. You wont have to play any games, just the hard, cold facts will do. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Help a disagreeable
old friend to look for the good in people instead of always dwelling on whats wrong. Its just a bad habit, and life can be a whole lot nicer if they can learn to brighten up. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you can keep your mind riveted on the results that everyone desires, it will help overcome any obstacles that might periodically get in the way. Dont let anything impede your progress. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Concentrate on and emphasize the facts, not the frills when trying to present a case to others. Doing so would help sway to your cause the people whose help you need. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Get your mind off all the
small details and focus on a profitable purpose as a whole. Once you do, everything else will automatically fall into place. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your peers recognize that you have the leadership abilities to steer everyone through what might be a difficult situation. Take the reins and guide them through the maze. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An opportunity, albeit of a limited nature, will present itself to you through the offices of a grateful person whom you assisted in the past.

TEHRAN, Iran Hard-line Iranian protesters stormed British diplomatic compounds Tuesday, hauling down the Union Jack, torching an embassy vehicle and pelting buildings with petrol bombs in what began as an apparent state-approved show of anger over the latest Western sanctions to punish Tehran for deance over its nuclear program. The hours-long assault on the British Embassy and a residential complex for staff in chaotic scenes reminiscent of the seizing of the U.S. Embassy in 1979 could push already frayed diplomatic ties toward the breaking point. Irans parliament approved a bill Sunday to downgrade relations with Britain, one of Americas closest allies with diplomatic envoys in the Islamic Republic. Calling Tuesdays attack outrageous and indefensible, British Prime Minister David Cameron said that Irans failure to defend the embassy and its staff was a disgrace and would have serious consequences. He said all embassy staff had been accounted for and praised Britains ambassador to Iran for handling a dangerous situation with calm and professionalism. Sorting out who to blame may be difcult. The late-afternoon demonstration outside the British Embassy was organized by pro-government groups at universities and Islamic seminaries, and could not have taken place without official sanction.
REUTERS
Police chase protesters as they enter the gate of the British embassy in Tehran,Iran.
However, such anti-Western rallies often draw ultraconservative factions such as the basiji, a paramilitary group run by the powerful Revolutionary Guard that is directly controlled by Irans ruling theocracy. Riot police initially clashed with mobs in attempts to hold them back, but protesters surged past cordons and scaled the walls at the embassy complex, which they pelted with petrol bombs and stones. Flames shot out of a sport utility vehicle parked outside the brick building and occupiers tossed papers apparently looted from an ofce. Death to England! some cried outside the compound in the rst significant assault of a foreign diplomatic area in Iran in years. Inside the compound, protesters replaced the British flag with a banner in the name of 7th-century Shiite saint, Imam Hussein. One man showed a picture of Queen Elizabeth II apparently taken off a wall. Chants called for the closure of the embassy and called it a spy den the same phrase used after militants stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and held 52 hostages for 444 days. In the early moments of that siege, protesters tossed out papers from the compound and pulled down the U.S. flag. Washington and Tehran have had no diplomatic relations since then.
WASHINGTON Declaring himself deeply disturbed by the storming of the B r i t i s h Embassy in T e h r a n , President Barack Obama strongly urged the Iranian government to hold those responsiBarack Obama ble to account. For rioters to essentially be able to overrun the embassy and set it on re is an indication that the Iranian government is not taking its international obligations seriously, the president said. Obama made his remarks at the beginning of an Oval Ofce meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte. That kind of behavior is unacceptable, Obama said, adding that the Iranian government has a responsibility to protect diplomatic outposts. Hard-line Iranian students stormed the embassy in Tehran on Tuesday, bringing down the Union Jack ag, burning an embassy vehicle and throwing documents from windows in scenes reminiscent of the 1979 attack on the U.S. embassy there.
