Still, the governor had argued that the move was legal because the state would use Proposition 10 money to pay for ongoing Medi-Cal costs for low- income children up to age 5.

Wall Street protesters disrupt UC board meeting SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Shouting Wall Street protesters dis- rupted a University of California board meeting Monday, calling on banks and the wealthy to pay high- er taxes to help fund higher educa- tion. UC's board of regents was origi- nally scheduled to meet in mid- November at the San Francisco- Mission Bay campus, but the ses- sion was canceled when law enforcement warned that protests could turn violent. Monday's meet- ing was held on four campuses con- nected by teleconference. Protesters disrupted the resched- uled meeting after students spoke out against budget cuts to higher education and campus crackdowns on Occupy camps on the UC Berke- ley and Davis campuses earlier this month. Protesters yelled ''Mic check!'' and began shouting in unison dur- ing Monday's sessions in Davis, Los Angeles and San Francisco, forcing UC regents and administra- tors to leave their respective meet- ing rooms. The meeting resumed after UC leaders moved to other rooms on the Los Angeles and San Francisco campuses, UC spokesman Steve Montiel said. After the regents left the meeting hall in San Francisco, protesters held a ''people's regents meeting'' during which they voted to fire top UC administrators. On the UCLA campus, about 150 protesters demonstrated outside the meeting site, chanting ''Whose university? Our university!'' After the meeting, regents and adminis- trators met with the protesters who had taken over the room. At UC Davis, dozens of demon- strators protested inside and outside the meeting hall, then held a teach- in in the lobby of a building that houses the financial aid office. Duing an extended public com- ment period before the meeting was temporarily shut down, students accused campus police of using excessive force in recent incidents in which sitting protesters were pepper-sprayed at UC Davis and Occupy demonstrators were jabbed with batons at UC Berkeley. ''Protests are nothing new to this Occupy San Diego protesters set up mini-tents SAN DIEGO (AP) — In a symbolic protest, mem- bers of Occupy San Diego have set up about 25 minia- ture tents in the city's Civic Center Plaza. Occupy San Diego's full-sized encamp- ments have been torn down by police twice since the movement began Oct. 7. City News Service reports Occupy protesters marched into the plaza car- rying the mini-tents Mon- day, which are about two feet in diameter and made of cloth and wire. Assistant police chief Boyd Long told protesters they would not be cited for leaving the mini-tents up in the plaza during their com- mittee meetings. San Diego police have said the movement can demonstrate in the plaza but can't set up tents. Woman arrested in death of son OXNARD (AP) — Oxnard police have arrested a woman on suspicion of causing the death of her 11- month-old son. The Ventura County Star (http://bit.ly/s0vgld), citing police reports, says Josefina Sierra Hernandez was arrested Sunday at her Oxnard home. Detectives were called to the Ventura County Medical Center last Wednesday after authorities learned that an 11-month-old boy had suf- fered from bleeding in his brain and hemorrhaging of his eyes. Oxnard police spokes- woman Monica Munoz says the boy was later flown to ''Protests are nothing new to this university, and it's embarrassing that our police isn't able to handle them without use of such excessive force." —UC Santa Cruz student Claudia Magana, president of the UC Students Association university, and it's embarrassing that our police isn't able to handle them without use of such excessive force,'' said UC Santa Cruz student Claudia Magana, president of the UC Students Association. State Assembly speaker John Perez said he was ''deeply offended and appalled'' by how police treat- ed protesters in Davis and Berkeley. ''It really raises the question of what message we're sending throughout the institution if that was the response the police thought was appropriate,'' Perez said. UC leaders said they support stu- dents' right to demonstrate peace- fully and will investigate the UC Davis pepper-spraying incident, which generated national outrage after online videos of the spraying went viral. ''Free speech is part of the DNA of this university and nonviolent protest has long been central to the history of this university,'' said UC President Mark Yudof. Yudof said former California Supreme Court Justice Cruz Reynoso has agreed to lead a task- force overseeing an investigation into the UC Davis pepper-spraying incident. Former Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton is leading the probe. In a letter Monday to the director of the state's Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, Gov. Jerry Brown requested that officials review their guidelines on crowd control and civil disobedi- ence. ''The recent 'occupation' protests in cities throughout Cali- fornia and on campuses of the Uni- versity of California underscore the urgency of articulating guidelines that are crystal clear,'' Brown wrote. An anti-Wall Street group called ReFund California organized small Children's Hospital Los Angeles where he died Sat- urday from brain injuries. Hernandez is being held at Ventura County Jail on $500,000 bail. Walmart pepper spraying may have been self-defense LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police say it may have been self-defense that drove a woman to pep- per-spray about 20 shoppers on Black Friday at a Wal- mart store. The Los Angeles Times reports Monday that detec- tives have interviewed 14 witnesses and want to talk to 10 more shoppers about the incident. Detective Mike Fesper- man says the case will come down to whether the pepper- spraying was a matter of self-defense or an inappro- priate shopping tactic. Police also are examin- ing store security videos and YouTube videos in which you can hear people saying ''I'm being trampled.'' The woman came to the LAPD Saturday, but declined to answer ques- tions and was not taken into custody. An investigation is ongoing. Researchers investigate orca that washed ashore POINT REYES NATIONAL SEASHORE (AP) — Wildlife officials say the body of a killer whale that washed ashore on a remote Marin County protests at the four UC campuses where the board meeting was held. They called on the regents to sign a pledge calling for ''Wall Street cor- porations and the wealthy to pay their fair share'' for public educa- tion and services. The board voted Monday to ask the state to increase funding to the 10-campus system to aid the hiring of instructors, increase enrollment and avoid raising tuition. The board did not vote on a specific tuition proposal. Board Chair Sherry Lansing said she planned to visit all UC campus- es to meet with students over the next few weeks and asked students to join the regents for a rally in Sacramento in January to ask state lawmakers to boost funding for higher education. ''We will stand with you side by side,'' Lansing said. ''We strongly believe that the state should step up to make our great university afford- able to all Californians.'' Not all students support the stu- dent protesters at UC Davis. Senior Marcus Shibler, who chairs the UC Davis College Republicans, said campus police were justified in pepper-spraying the students because students blocked the officers from leaving. ''We never want someone pepper sprayed unjustly, but the students were fully aware of their actions,'' Shibler said. ''They need to take responsibility for their actions.'' On Monday, the police officers' union at UC Berkeley released a let- ter saying that a video showing baton-wielding officers jabbing Occupy protesters is misleading and doesn't show officers being hit, pushed and threatened. The letter criticizes UC officials for asking police to enforce their policies then refusing to stand by officers when they do. STATE BRIEFING beach shows possible signs of trauma, though they don't yet know the cause of its death. The 18-foot male juve- nile washed up last week just north of McClure's Beach, a scenic stretch of wilderness coastline that's part of Point Reyes National Seashore. Marine Mammal Center spokesman Jim Oswald tells the Marin Independent Jour- nal that it's rare to see an orca on shore in Northern California. A team from the center and the California Academy of Sciences removed the whale's head and dorsal fin and took skin samples to determine how it died. Officials said they were investigating the possibility that another animal or a ship may have injured the orca. Police: San Jose sergeant kills wife, self GILROY (AP) — Authorities are trying to fig- ure out what motivated a San Jose police sergeant to kill his wife then fatally shoot himself at the couple's Gilroy home. Gilroy police Capt. Jim Gillio says authorities dis- covered the bodies of Christopher Shimek and his wife, 43-year-old Lynn Shimek, late Sunday. Christopher Shimek died of an apparently self-inflict- ed gunshot wound. The cause of his wife's death was under investigation but police said it resulted from an apparent murder-suicide. Gillio says police searched records dating to 2004 for reports of distur- bances from the home. In March 2007, authorities responded to a call alleging Christopher Shimek hit a stepson ''in a rage.'' Lynn Shimek did not want further police action. Christopher Shimek worked in the traffic division and had been on the force for 16 years. Crab fishing SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — After weeks of hag- gling over a price, Central California crab fishermen and seafood processors have come to an agreement and the 2011 Dungeness season is under way. The parties agreed Mon- day to a price of $2.25 a pound, and boats from San Francisco, Half Moon Bay and Bodega Bay were head- ed out to sea to sink their crab pots. Fishermen had wanted $2.50 a pound, and buyers were offering $2. The agreement came after a two-week delay that kept fresh Dungeness crab off of most Thanksgiving dinner tables. Fishermen had com- plained that the rising costs of fuel, bait and equipment made doing business less profitable. But seafood buy- ers said the down economy meant that consumers would not pay higher prices Red Bluff Simple Cremations & Burial Service You DO have a choice in the Red Bluff area.
