Hosting a debate would not be cheap. Fink estimat- ed the university would need $3 million to $4 million, but he said it could raise the money by selling sponsor- ships. Sponsors of the 2008 presidential debates included Anheuser-Busch and the Howard K. Buffet Founda- tion. Among the commission’s requirements are an air- conditioned debate hall of at least 17,000 square feet, a parking area capable of accommodating up to 30 remote television trailers and a 20,000-square-foot media center. Dominican held the gubernatorial debate at its newly refurbished Angelico Hall. Fink said a presidential debate would likely be held at the university’s recre- ation center, which is much larger.http://www.marinij.com he said. With fewer people at the camp than larger camps, the students get more individual attention, Grand said. “You get a chance to learn from professionals and certain little things you do wrong you can correct,” Grand said.

MUNCH Continued from page 1A Nueva. La Nueva's menu said a standard C.A.B. comes with pico de gallo and guacamole, with the carne asada. So we went with that.

The top team was No. 32, Wran- glers for a Cure, which raised $4,034.50. Team members were Laurie Claver, Aimee Canavan, Craig Claver, Corey Loomis, Kate Loomis, Miranda Johns and Jessica Valin, all from Cottonwood and Anderson. In second place, team No. 40, Wild Rags, raised $2,852.45. Team members were Adrienne Wagner, Kamish Wagner, Jessica Macdon- ald, Laura Schreter, Emma Peter- son, Jamie Gill, Kate Grimsman and Natalie Peterson, from Red Bluff, the waitress asked "with pico de gallo and gua- camole?" "Si," I replied. Those three ingredients in a C.A.B. must be standard. Both were foil wrapped, and still warm when we arrived a casa. Both tortillas were fresh, and the guac and pico mix inside was virtually identi- cal in respective volume, freshness and taste. What set the two burri- tos apart was the central ingredient, the carne asada. Los Mariachis' ver- sion simply had tastier beef. Wikipedia says typical- ly carne asada (roasted beef in English) is mari- nated with lime juice, gar- lic, cilantro and spices. We could taste these more readily in the Los Mari- Millville and Paskenta. The third place team, Hunt for a Cure, raised $2,445. Team members were Sara Preston, Lacey McKinley, Julie Osborn, Kathleen Kupp, Tonya Durden and Mia Fernandez, from Cottonwood, Anderson and Red Bluff.

Officers searched the Calif tsunami damage estimate increases CRESCENT CITY (AP) — California’s dam- age estimate from last month’s tsunami has increased. California Emergency Management Agency spokesman Brad Alexan- der says as of Friday, the damage estimate was $48 million, $4 million more than a previous estimate. Meanwhile, Alexander tells The Times-Standard of Eureka that officials are currently in the process of drafting a letter to the White House requesting a disaster declaration. The declaration would pave the way for federal aid and save the state $25 million in repair costs. Harbors in Santa Cruz, Crescent City and Fort Bragg were among the hardest-hit by the surge of water that was triggered by the 9.0-magnitude earthquake off Japan’s northeast coast. ——— Information from: T imes-Standard, http://www.times-stan- dard.com GARBERVILLE (AP) — Cali- fornia transportation officials say a major artery through southern Humboldt County could soon reopen.

Jerry Brown announced last week that he was ending budget nego- tiations with Republicans, saying their demands were too much and came too late in the process, he rejected a lengthy list of requests GOP lawmakers wanted in exchange for their votes. His rejection led Repub- licans to question whether the Democratic governor was serious about compro- mise, as he repeatedly has claimed. But it also gave rise to criticism that Repub- lican lawmakers had over- reached and, in the end, failed to get any of the changes to employee pen- sions, business regulations and state spending they have desired for years. As the blame game con- tinues in the Capitol, the failure of the budget negoti- ations highlights a political dynamic that has been at the center of the dysfunc- tion in the state Legislature — a minority party embit- tered by years of losses and a majority party, the Democrats, that resents having to get Republican approval to pass the kinds of budgets it wants. Republicans have lever- age during budget negotia- tions because any tax or fee increase, or any legislative ballot measure, requires a two-thirds vote of the Leg- islature and thus some GOP support. They say they have to use that leverage because the Democrats who control the Legislature will not approve their bills any other time of the year. Democrats control the governor’s office, have wide majorities in the Assembly and Senate, hold every statewide constitu- tional office and say their ideas are more in line with those held by the majority of Californians. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg admonished the minority party during a recent floor debate over the budget, say- ing their demands should be proportional to their rep- resentation in the Legisla- ture (Democrats hold a combined 77-42 edge in both houses). “I would urge you to recognize that, in order to get this done ... that you acknowledge that elections matter,” the Sacramento Democrat said. In the coming week, Brown is scheduled to press his case with Californians, and Republican officials also plan to make their claims with voters. The governor could seek union support for a special elec- tion ballot measure to raise taxes in the fall, but the way forward to solve the remainder of California’s deficit — more than $15 billion — is unclear. Republicans say while they are in the minority, they do not necessarily rep- resent a minority view- point. A recent Public Poli- cy Institute of California poll found that fewer than half of California voters favored Brown’s proposal to renew two-year-old increases in the sales, per- sonal income and vehicle taxes for another five years. They said their requests were reasonable. “This was an honest attempt to try to make sure that we were all on the same page, make sure that we’re all starting at the same point, and try to see if there was some type of resolve that could be reached,” said Senate Minority Leader Bob Dut- ton of Rancho Cucamonga. Before Brown cut off the budget talks, a group of five Republican senators and later, the Senate minority leaders, sought rollbacks in public employee pensions, a hard cap on future state spending and regulatory reforms. They said that was their price for putting up two Republican votes in each house of the Legislature for Brown’s proposal to ask California voters to extend temporary sales, income and vehicle taxes. Brown sought five years of increased taxes; Republi- cans wanted to limit the tax renewals to 18 months. But the wish-list submit- ted by Dutton, more than two months after Brown released his budget propos- al for the 2011-12 fiscal year, included far more, such as changing the firing process for teachers, restor- ing funding for county fairs and moving next year’s presidential primary to March. The governor said he supported pension and reg- ulatory reforms and a spending cap, but said Republicans would not agree to call a special elec- tion on the tax extensions “unless I agree to an ever- changing list of collateral demands.” Dutton, in a briefing with reporters last week, denied that the seven-page list represented demands, although he declined to clarify whether any GOP lawmakers would have sup- ported a budget package that did not include every- thing on the list. Republicans also were seeking a hard spending cap until the state has paid down its debts, a 10 percent rainy day reserve and rein- statement of a proposed constitutional amendment floated last year that would use “pay as you go” bud- geting. Such a process requires that funding be identified before any new programs are introduced. Long-sought education reforms also were on the list but were unlikely to be achieved during the gover- nor’s short window for a deal. Most California teach- ers work under contracts reached through collective bargaining with powerful teachers’ unions. The GOP wish list included allowing teacher layoffs, transfers and reas- signments to be “based on teacher performance instead of seniority.” Republicans also wanted to extend the deadline for school districts to notify employees about possible layoffs. Talks hung up, though, largely on major portions of Brown’s plan that would have required too much compromise from both sides, such as eliminating community redevelopment agencies and enterprise zones, which Republicans support and want to main- tain. Republicans also staunchly oppose his pro- posal to end a corporate tax break referred to as ‘‘single sales factor,’’ in which out- of-state companies are allowed to choose their pre- ferred rate of taxation. Brown called it a ‘‘bil- lion-dollar tax break to giant companies that keep jobs out of California,“ but Dutton said it was estab- lished only through a previ- ous bipartisan legislative compromise. area and found a man that matched the description who fled from them, the release said.
