Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson
has served the county for 14 years
now and, as she is set to leave her
post later this year due to term lim-
its, she hosted her last big event
while still in ofce yesterday a
rst-of-its-kind job fair in Redwood
City for the formerly incarcerated.
Jacobs Gibson and her office,
with support from other county
agencies, linked about 300 people
yesterday with more than 25 local
employers ready
to give those
once jailed a
chance for a new
beginning.
A l t h o u g h
some of the lines
were long at
employer tables,
Daly City resi-
dent Kevin
Kwan said he
was still able to get in a few good
interviews.
Kwan and a host of other men
were also tted with suits and ties,
for free, by a group of volunteers
eager to help job seekers look their
very best.
Some were skeptical and had to
be coaxed to put on a tie as they had
never worn one before.
Volunteers Diana Lee, Nancy
Kawakatsu and a few others tted
the men with suits, blazers and
slacks and helped pick matching ties
and even tied them for the men.

About a dozen prison inmates
from San Mateo County qualify for
sentencing reconsideration under
the revamped Three Strikes guide-
lines enacted by voters Tuesday but
local prosecutors say that is no guar-
antee the prisoners will receive
relief.
Since the laws original passage,
the county sent approximately 75
offenders to prison on a third strike
for 25 years to life, said Deputy
District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
All Three Strikes cases being
prosecuted currently still qualify as
such under the new restrictions.
This has had zero effect on our
approach or policy. We already
jumped ahead of this in anticipation
of the change and have always taken
the charging of a third strike very

Think a great white can y?
The ve guys who make up The
Nine Amigos a team of U.S.
Coast Guard helicopter rescue
swimmers do. Not that they think
the massive creation made of chick-
en wire, plastic pipes, papier-mch
and paint will go far when pushed
into the San Francisco Bay
Saturday. Instead, the newbies to the
Red Bull Flugtag are hoping to have
a good time. The team, which has
been building the shark in a San
Bruno garage, is one of 33 teams
competing in the 10th anniversary
of the competition of human-pow-
ered ying machines at McCovey
Cove this weekend.
Its basically about having fun,
said Ian Jobs, who will be piloting
the massive shark.
There was a lot to do Wednesday
afternoon as the team worked to n-
ish Blanco, the shark. Paint was
being applied, chicken wire cut.
Maxwell Kaczmarek got inside the
massive shark at one point and the
guys lifted it outside the garage to
set it on the wheels built to go under
it.
Originally the team planned to use
an Erector Set for the structure of
the shark. Turns out thats too heavy.
All crafts must be less than 30 feet
wide and weigh no more than 450
pounds, including the pilot.

given the circumstances is incredibly
lucky.
Fraud? No, spider

machines malfunctioned Tuesday morn-

She called a technician, who said a
spider web apparently prevented the
machines scanner from counting bal-
lots. Conti tells The Sun Chronicle of

machines received preventive mainte-
nance a month ago.
The vote count wasnt completed until

III.
Rehoboth, with about 12,000 resi-
dents, is about 50 miles southwest of

Conti says she has been pressing to
have the machines replaced for several
years.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A gangmember who participated in the fatal
hit-and-run of a man after a ght outside a
Daly City pizzeria will be free from custody
after being sentenced yesterday to time
served.
Horacio Antonio Vega Jr., 25, pleaded no
contest in March to assault but postponed sen-
tencing until yesterday so he could be released
on credit for time served rather than shipped
to prison. Vega was looking at a four-year
term as part of his negotiated deal which in
essence he served because he would have like-
ly been released after two, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe but received 364
days yesterday to be shy of the immigration
cutoff. If he had received a 365-day sentence
he would have been turned
over to immigration of-
cials.
Vega was not the actual
driver in the Feb. 7, 2010
confrontation that killed
Jessie Wiley but was origi-
nally charged with murder
like accomplices Matthew
Sean Mouton, 23, and
Rene Castro, 23.
The driver, Mouton, who pleaded no contest
to voluntary manslaughter, received 16 years
in prison while Castro was sentenced to four
years prison for felony assault. All also had
gang enhancements which add a strike to their
criminal record.
On Feb. 7, 2010, prosecutors say the three
men members of the 31st Street Norteo
gang got into a ght with two men in the
Little Caesars pizzeria on King Drive in Daly
City. The men left but were allegedly con-
fronted by Castro and Vega who continued the
ght at the intersection of King Drive and
Callan Boulevard. Prosecutors say Mouton
drove a black GMC Yukon Denali at Wiley at
speeds of 40 mph, intentionally striking him
and running over him several times. The other
two then climbed into the SUV and all three
ed while Wiley died at the scene, according
to the prosecution.
Police apprehended Castro and Vega a short
time after the incident but Mouton remained at
large for another month.

Voter turnout in San Mateo County is on
track to fall just short of the historical average
for a presidential election but, with more than
73,000 ballots still left to be counted, the
number could even inch higher.
Tuesday night ended with 56.5 percent of
361,486 registered voters having cast ballots
and, based on the outstanding ballots, the g-
ure is projected to be around 76 percent, said
Mark Church, chief elections officer and
assessor-county clerk-recorder.
The trend has increased over time going
back the last several elections, Church said.
In 2000, turnout was 77 percent; 2004 had
79 percent; and 2008 had 79 percent.
In contrast, the June primary had 36.5 per-
cent turnout.
Tuesdays results also showed 24 percent of
voters headed to precincts, 1 percent cast bal-
lots early and 31.5 percent voted by mail.
The ofce still has 73,966 ballots to count
but, of those, a number wont qualify because
of an invalid signature,
lack of signature or other
error, Church said.
Church said Election
Night ran pretty smoothly
from the ofces perspec-
tive but that the number of
paper ballots, including
provisional, left to process
is quite an increase over
previous years. Church
said the ofce is still sorting out the reason for
the hike but believes one factor is a large num-
ber of absentee voters who actually came to
the polls to physically vote and required a pro-
visional ballot.
The Elections Ofce will issue updated
numbers Friday afternoon followed by releas-
es Nov. 15 and 21. The Elections Ofce will
begin its 1 percent manual tally of the votes
Nov. 26. The tally, which takes about four
days, conrms that the election was properly
conducted before Church certies the results.
The added numbers are unlikely to change
the outcome of most, if not all, races and
measures from where they stood Tuesday.

Judge halts part of
human trafficking initiative
SACRAMENTO A federal judge has
blocked part of a voter-approved ballot initia-
tive related to human trafcking, until a court
hearing can be held later this month.
The decision temporarily halts a provision
of Proposition 35 that requires registered sex
offenders to give authorities a list of their
Internet providers and screen names. The ini-
tiative, passed Tuesday with 81 percent sup-
port, toughens penalties on those convicted of
human trafcking.
The American Civil Liberties Union of
Northern California and the Electronic
Frontier Foundation sued in U.S. District
Court in San Francisco on behalf of sex
offenders. They argue the requirement restricts
offenders First Amendment right to free
speech and their due process and equal protec-
tion rights under the Fourteenth Amendment.

stock rises with second win
SACRAMENTO Billionaire investor
Tom Steyers stock is on the rise with
California Democrats after notching his sec-
ond political victory in two years.
Voters this week approved his Proposition
39, which closes a tax loophole that was cham-
pioned by Republicans to benet out-of-state
corporations. It will send an additional $1 bil-
lion a year to the state. In 2010, he helped
defend the states greenhouse gas emissions
law by funding the successful opposition to a
ballot initiative that was being pushed primari-
ly by out-of-state business interests.
Steyer, a Democrat from San Francisco and
the founder of Farallon Capital Management,
says he is shifting away from his investment
activities and toward public policy, specical-
ly clean energy and government reform.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
For the McHale family, the Harvest Festival
is a family affair. The festival will take place
this weekend, Nov. 9-11, at the San Mateo
County Event Center.
A three-day event, the Harvest Festival is
the largest indoor arts and crafts show on the
West Coast. Through Veterans Day weekend,
Bay Area residents can shop for handmade
gifts from more than 24,000 arts and crafts in
hundreds of booths as well as enjoy delicious
food and performances by the likes of Tom
Rigney and Flambeau.
Mac Cutting Boards is just one of the hun-
dreds of booths in attendance this weekend.
Bart and Josie McHale started their family-
owned business in 2009 with the encourage-
ment of friends and family.
We started the business with the idea of
just really getting our kids involved to make
family handcrafted gifts for Christmas that
year, Josie McHale said. We made 26 cut-
ting boards for family and friends and it was
really well received. It was so popular that
they (family and friends) really encouraged us
to go into the church functions and ea mar-
kets and see how that worked out. My hus-
band and I kind of looked at each other and
said, sounds like fun.
Mac Cutting Boards isnt your average cut-
ting board the green nature of the
McHales business ensures that. After discov-
ering that sourcing hardwoods was a bit of a
nancial challenge, the McHales started look-
ing at professionals such as hardwood ooring
installers, cabinet makers and furniture mak-
ers as well as Craigslist to source materials.
This was the beginning of an idea to repurpose
scrap hardwood.
These scrap woods would have been
tossed, or thrown or burned and theyre beau-
tiful wood, McHale said. Woods like Purple
Heart and Zebra, woods that are just super
expensive if you were to buy it in place of
your hardwood oors, but were getting it for
close to nothing. So we decided were going
to make our cutting boards affordable.
In business for three years, the McHales
have come to nd their true clientele is in the
millennia crowd, the 25- through 35-year-
olds, who appreciate recycling and the
green motif.
The millennia crowd, it doesnt matter
where they live, theyre pretty receptive,
McHale said. They appreciate way more the
artistry and the effort you put in. Coming back
to the green aspect, they love our story. Its the
whole package in one.
Mac Cutting Boards will be at the Harvest
Festival for their second year this weekend.
Every time the McHales go to a show, they
give away one free cutting board. The compa-
ny specializes in unique designs and their gui-
tar-shaped cutting boards and wine bottle-
shaped cutting boards will be on display this
weekend.
Marcelle Walliser will also be at the Harvest
Festival this weekend selling handmade
ceramics.
It was just a hobby for many, many years,
Walliser said. About seven years ago, I
turned it into a business. I make mostly func-
tional-wear kitchen things and some of my
specialty items are yarn bowls; a lot of knitters
use those. And I make bowls for storing jew-
elry with little holes in the edges for your ear-
rings so Ive kind of branched out from func-
tional kitchen wear to other real gift-type
items.
This is also Wallisers second year partici-
pating in the Harvest Festival. She thinks peo-
ple who appreciate art and the handmade
movement will enjoy the event.
You should just come down and see it
because youll nd a lot of items you wont at
the mall and youll see things youve never
seen before and be wowed by it, Walliser
said.
Second Harvest Food Bank and the
Peninsula Humane Society will also be in
attendance to support local charities.
Its going to be fantastic for us, said
PHS/SPCA spokeswoman Scott Delucchi.
Arts and crafts abound at Harvest Festival
Bart McHale crafts a unique cutting board.

An undercover prostitution sting at a
spa in unincorporated Redwood City
resulted in a womans arrest and the tem-
porary closure of the business on
Woodside Road, according to the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce.
Arrested was 36-year-old Cheng Mei, a
Richmond resident, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce.
She was arrested Tuesday afternoon at
the Asian Spa Massage Parlor at 1725
Woodside Road after several complaints
were lodged against the establishment,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
Mei allegedly solicited the undercover
ofcer for a sexual act and was subse-
quently arrested for prostitution and dis-
orderly conduct.
In addition to the prostitution, there
were several other San Mateo County
ordinance business code/massage parlor
violations occurring at the location,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce. Due to
the violations, the business was closed
down for the remainder of the day and
detectives from the Sheriffs Ofce are in
the process of having the massage par-
lors business license revoked.

Carbon monoxide leak
evacuates Burlingame hotel
A carbon monoxide leak that prompted
the evacuation of the Embassy Suites San
Francisco Airport hotel in Burlingame
early Thursday morning was likely
caused by a boiler leak, a re chief said.
Fireghters were called to the hotel at
150 Anza Blvd. to test its air quality and
evacuate guests around 1 a.m., Central
County Fire Authority Chief Don
Dornell said.
The carbon monoxide was traced to a
boiler that feeds the hotel pool and a spa,
Dornell said. The unit was immediately
shut down, and carbon monoxide levels
dissipated, he said.
No one was injured or required treat-
ment, Dornell said.
Guests were able to return to their
rooms shortly after 5 a.m., Embassy
Suites General Manager Ernie Catanzaro
said. Crews remained at the hotel moni-
toring the air throughout the morning.
Man robbed in home
A Foster City man who initially told
police he was robbed at gunpoint by two
men in a parking lot on Rock Harbor
Lane Tuesday night has changed his story
and now says he was robbed inside his
home while in the company of an uniden-
tied woman, according to police.
The victims description of the incident
changed several times during the course
of the initial investigation, according to
police.
The suspects allegedly entered the
mans home while in the company of an
unidentied female suspect, who calmly
walked out of the home after the suspects
entered, according to police.
The victim originally reported being
robbed of his cellphone, laptop computer,
wallet and car keys, according to police.
Police are following leads in an attempt
to identify the three theft suspects.
Door-knock burglaries on rise
In October, police noticed an increase
in residential burglaries in San Mateo and
are cautioning residents to be alert. More
than 12 residential burglaries occurred in
the area between Coyote Point and State
Route 92 east of Highway 101, according
to the San Mateo Police Department.
The burglaries generally t the most
common current method of residential
burglary the door-knock or solici-
tor burglary. In these types of burglaries,
suspects pose as service-people or sales-
people and canvass an area by knocking
on doors. These suspects are looking for
unoccupied homes where there is no
reply to their knock. They then check the
perimeter of the victim home for unse-
cured doors or windows, or locate a door
or window out of sight from the street to
force entry, according to police.

San Bruno tax measure fails
Measure F, San Brunos proposed
sales tax lost in a close election the
week of Nov. 9, 2007.
The measure lost 51 percent to 49
percent. The proposed half-cent
sales tax increase required at least
one yes vote above 50 percent for
passage.
Measure F would
have imposed an
additional half-
cent sales
tax for the
citys gen-
eral fund, raising the
citys sales tax to
8.75 percent. The measures sup-
porters argued the sales tax increase
was needed to prevent cuts in the
citys essential services. The money
was to have been used for police,
re, and emergency services; street
repair and maintenance; improved
library services for disabled persons
and children; and senior and recre-
ational programs.
County preps for oil spill
Oil that spilled into the Bay after
the Cosco Busan container ship hit
the Bay Bridge the week of Nov. 9,
2007 was heading to San Mateo
County and authorities were prepar-
ing for its effects on both the coast-
line and Bayshore.
Oyster Point Harbor in South San
Francisco, Coyote Point Harbor and
the Port of Redwood City deployed
booms to protect against the inltra-
tion of oil if, or when, some of the
58,000 gallons of oil drifted south.
Tides carried heavy fuel under the
Golden Gate Bridge and into the
Pacic Ocean and down the
Bayshore, threatening thousands of
birds and other marine life. It was
believed to be the largest spill in the
Bay since 1988.
The ship had just left the Port of
Oakland on Wednesday of that
week and was headed to sea when it
hit a tower beneath the western sec-
tion of the Bay Bridge. It caused no
structural damage to the span, but
the vessels hull suffered a large
gash.
Schools to get new leadership
Diane Vranes, a longtime trustee

Pine, Burlingame Elementary
School Board president, the week

Stephen Rogers also won a seat on
the board. Vranes was surprised to
see the close results. She noted the
rough recent times facing the dis-
trict showed in the election.
Planning commissioner

Burlingame Mayor Terry Nagel
led the voting the week of Nov. 9,
2007 to hold onto her City Council

Jerry Deal received more votes than
incumbent Councilman Russ Cohen
to take his seat.
At one point, the gap in votes
between Deal and Cohen was 124
votes. When Deal ran for the City
Council eight years prior, his defeat
came down to nine votes.

7-Eleven construction
Editor,
No matter how one feels about the
new proposed 7-Eleven store in San

while discussions continue at City

Proposition 30 and Measure A
Editor,
Your newspaper, and others, are
about to play the most important role
that any media outlet can play rep-
resenting the people versus special
interests. California passed
Proposition 30 and San Mateo County
passed Measure A to impose a com-
bined three-fourths percent more tax
on all purchases within the county.
Schools and public services better not
ask for another dime until 2021, when
both tax increases are expected to
stop. I dont want to hear about the
children, the police departments, the
fire departments, etc. In two years,
when another ballot measure asks us
for more money and it lists the word
schools in any way, we will be call-
ing on all media outlets to remind
people of the promises made in 2012
in regards to Proposition 30 and
Measure A.
Spend your money wisely Jerry
Brown because youve fired up the
grassroots version of the Tea Party.
No more taxes without representation.
I plan on a vigorous complaint policy
if I hear of a single issue regarding
public services or schools.

Big oil misinformation
Editor,
Big oil is pocketing record profits,
while claiming loudly it cant afford
to meet its clean air commitments
under Californias clean energy law.
We need to shine a light on the oil
industrys misinformation campaign
and veiled threats, and make it clear
that their efforts are to protect profits
over people. According to the Los
Angeles Times, the states oil refiners
are raking in record profits tripling
average profits during the recent
painful price spikes at the pump.
However, the oil industry refuses to
innovate, spending less than one
penny on cleaner alternative fuels for
each dollar spent on oil extraction.
Instead of innovating, the industry is
engaging in a high-priced lobbying
and delay campaign spending mil-
lions to spread misinformation to try
to delay Californias clean energy law.
California has taken a bold step to
solve our dangerous dependence on
foreign oil with the new laws to
attract new transportation fuels to the
market renewable electricity, natu-
ral gas and clean biofuels. These stan-
dards will bring the next generation of
advanced clean cars to the state.
Cleaner cars run on less gas, or no gas
at all. During 2011, California attract-
ed 69 percent of global investment in
electric vehicle-related sectors. This is
calculated to result in hundreds of
thousands of additional jobs in
California over the coming decade.
Clean fuel and clean vehicle standards
benefit and grow Californias econo-
my unlike what big oil would have us
believe.

The Record Searchlight
W
ill the last Republican in
California please feed the
cat and deadbolt the back
door?
California Secretary of State Debra
Bowens ofce released the nal pre-
election voter-registration gures
Friday. They are grim for the GOP.
Its no secret the party has been los-
ing its appeal to increasingly liberal
Californians. The 2010 election, a
Democratic sweep here despite a
Republican surge almost everywhere
east of the Sierra Nevada, was dramatic
evidence.
But the party just keeps fading.
Over the past eight years two
presidential-election cycles
Californias population has grown
and so has its voter registration.
Roughly 1.7 million more
Californians are registered to vote
today than at this time in 2004.
And how many of those new voters
are Republicans? None. Well, some, to
be sure. But enough Republicans have
abandoned the party (or died, or moved
to Texas) that it actually has nearly
400,000 fewer members statewide
today than eight years ago. The
Democrats have enlisted more than
800,000 new members, while the big
winner is decline to state.
Shasta County, typically, bucks the
trend. As the local voter registration has
climbed the past eight years topping
100,000 for the rst time in October
Republicans have held steady, while the
Democrats have shed members.
Theyve dropped from 31 percent to
26.6 percent in eight years. If the trend
continues, in a few years the unafliat-
ed will outnumber Democrats in Shasta
County.
In both cases, politics is becoming
increasingly lopsided, with all of the
clout in the majority party and the
minority party withering.
But democracy cant work that way
at least not well. Without a healthy
opposition that offers alternative ideas
and is organized enough to raise money
and seriously contest elections, theres
little honest accountability. Witness
Sen. Dianne Feinsteins refusal even to
debate her Republican opponent,
Elizabeth Emken, and the all-but-invisi-
ble campaigns of most north state
Democrats. (The exception is congres-
sional candidate Jim Reed, who runs to
win instead of as a token.)
Sacramento especially needs some
fresh and alternative ideas. A healthy
Republican Party ought to be providing
them and opening its tent. Instead,
despite widespread public discontent
and a plainly broken system in the state
capital, the oppositions just fading
away. Californians deserve better.
Golden States Republicans fading
Election wrap
E
arlier this year, in June, San Mateo County voters
rejected two taxes that were sold by proponents as
targeting visitors to this area. Measure X would have
increased the hotel tax in unincorporated areas and Measure
U was a charge on parking facili-
ties in unincorporated areas.
Measure T, which imposed a 2.5
percent tax on rental car busi-
nesses in unincorporated areas,
squeaked by with a mere 50.1
percent of the vote, hardly a ring-
ing endorsement. The proceeds
of all three were to go to fund
county services.
Fast forward a few months to
now and San Mateo County vot-
ers approved Measure A, a half-
cent sales tax increase to fund
county services. It only needed a
majority to pass, yet 64.5 percent
of the electorate said put pen to ballot in approval.
So does that mean that San Mateo County residents are
super nice hosts, who would rather pay taxes ourselves rather
than ask visitors to pony up? Or does it mean that the
Measure A campaign, greased with money from Seton
Medical Center, hit the voter sweet spot with their ier after
ier of photos of children, parks and smiling and attractive
young men and women touting its possible benets? The
Measure A campaign had about $1.3 million in its coffers and
most of that money came from Seton and its afliates with
the wink wink promise from county ofcials that a signicant
portion of the $60 million to be collected annually would go
toward it. The reason for the wink wink promise is that the
measure could not specify where the money would go in
order to retain the majority threshold for approval. If county
ofcials were to specify where the money were to be spent,
that threshold would climb to two-thirds.
I was not surprised that Measure A passed, but I was sur-
prised it passed by such a large margin considering the lack
of signicant support for similar measures in June that would
go to the same pot of money. So kudos to the Measure A
campaign, which convinced enough people that a half-cent
sales tax for county services was the way to go.
***
Speaking of sales taxes, Half Moon Bay voters passed
Measure J, which increases the sales tax in that city by half a
cent. That, along with the county measure and Proposition 30
means folks in that city will soon be looking at a sales tax
rate of 9.5 percent. Good thing the parking there is still free.
***
Sabrina Brennan, the newly elected member of the San
Mateo County Harbor District Board of Commissioners, ben-
eted from a robust campaign that relied on a little bit of old
and a little bit of new. Brennan mailed tons of iers (with the
Daily Journal endorsement placed prominently) and also
embarked on a social media campaign. She also had a fairly
good ground game and worked the precincts and appeared
just about everywhere. She also beneted from a convincing
and refreshing take on the business of Harbor District and
came up with new ideas, a strong emphasis on environmental
protection and scal conservatism. She has strong ties to the
Occupy movement, but its hard to tell if that hurt her, or
helped her in this relatively moderate county.
***
Voters in the Sequoia Healthcare District saw through Jack
Hickeys run for an elected ofce he already holds. While
Hickey campaigned that a vote for him was a poll of the elec-
torate on dissolution of the district, it turned out to be a giant
waste of time and money.
***
Gov. Jerry Brown is touting his victory on Proposition 30,
which raises sales tax in the state a quarter cent for four years
and raises personal income tax on upper-income California
residents to raise about $6 billion a year. That money was
seen as the linchpin to the state budget and will stave drastic
cuts to education across the board. While it is known that
focusing on the soft spot of education was a sure-re way to
gain voter support, the work of state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, should not be discounted.
Yees legislation to enable online voter registration yielded
more than a million more voters, many of whom were likely
young, computer savvy and interested in stopping cuts to
education. Proposition 30 passed with little wiggle room, so
those online registrants surely made a huge difference.
***
It was not a surprise that Jerry Hill won big in his quest for
the newly-drawn District 13 Senate seat, but his margin of
victory against former assemblywoman Sally Lieber was
impressive. With 69 percent of the vote, there was no ques-
tion Hill was the new districts choice.
But one key point that needs to be made is that the new dis-
trict is nearly all in San Mateo County. After years of sharing
a state senator with the western half of San Francisco, it will
be nice to have a legislator in that house that answers largely
to us. And Hill will be perfect in that role.

NEW YORK Stocks slid on Wall
Street Thursday, a day after the Dow
Jones industrial average logged its
biggest one-day drop of the year, as
investors fretted about the potential for
gridlock in Washington.
The Dow closed down 121.41 points
to 12,811.32, bringing its two-day loss to
434 points. The Standard and Poors 500
index fell 17.02 points to 1,377.51 and
the Nasdaq composite slipped 41.71 to
2,895.58.
The Dow plunged 313 points
Wednesday, its fth worst one-day drop
following a U.S. presidential election.
The biggest, in 2008, came in the midst
of the nancial crisis on the day after
President Barack Obama won his rst
term.
The two-day slump came in the wake
of Obamas re-election to a second term
as investors turned their focus back to
Europes problems and the so-called s-
cal cliff, a package of tax increases and
government spending cuts in the U.S.
that will occur unless Congress acts by
Jan. 1. Investors see it as a serious threat
to the economic recovery.
The thinking before the election was
that it would remove some of the uncer-
tainty, but it seems to have done the
opposite, said Tyler Vernon, chief
investment ofcer at Biltmore Capital
Advisors in Princeton, N.J.
Stocks are still up on the year, but well
below the peak they reached in
September. That was when the Federal
Reserve announced a third round of its
bond-buying program, which is intended
to hold down borrowing costs and
encourage lending.
The S&P 500 is 6 percent below its
high close of the year, 1,465, which it
reached on Sept. 14. That was its highest
level in nearly ve years. Its still up 10
percent for the year.
Investors may be tempted to sell
appreciated stock before a possible
increase in the capital gains tax at the
end of the year, Vernon said. Tax cuts
enacted by President George W. Bush
expire at the end of this year and the U.S.
government wants to cut a $1 trillion
budget decit.
The mood of the market has certainly
switched, said J.J. Kinahan, chief deriv-
atives strategist at TD Ameritrade, as
investors monitor developments on the
scal cliff and wait for more clues about
Obamas agenda.

WASHINGTON House
Republicans hard line against higher tax
rates for upper-income earners leaves re-
elected President Barack Obama with a
tough, core decision: Does he pick a
ght and risk falling off a scal cliff or
does he rush to compromise and risk
alienating liberal Democrats?
Or is there another way that will allow
both sides to claim victory?
Obama has been silent since his victo-
ry speech early Wednesday morning, but
is set to weigh in Friday in remarks at
the White House.
Capitol Hill Republicans, meanwhile,
vow to stand resolutely against any
effort by the president to fulll a cam-
paign promise to raise the top two
income tax rates to Clinton-era levels. A
battle would set the tone for the start of
the presidents second term.
A balanced approach isnt balanced
if it means higher tax rates on the small
businesses that are key to getting our
economy moving again, House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, said on
Wednesday. Raising tax rates is unac-
ceptable, he declared Thursday on
ABC. Frankly, it couldnt even pass the
House. Im not sure it could pass the
Senate.
A lot is at stake. A new Congressional
Budget Ofce report on Thursday pre-
dicted that the economy would fall into
recession if there is a protracted impasse
in Washington and the government falls
off the scal cliff for the entire year.
Though most Capitol-watchers think
that long deadlock is unlikely, the ana-
lysts say such a scenario would cause a
spike in the jobless rate to 9.1 percent by
next fall.
The analysis says that the cliff a
combination of automatic tax increases
and spending cuts would cut the
deficit by $503 billion through next
September, but that the scal austerity
also would cause the economy to shrink
by 0.5 percent next year and cost mil-
lions of jobs.
The new study estimates that the
nations gross domestic product would
grow by 2.2 percent next year if all
Bush-era tax rates were extended and
would expand by almost 3 percent if
Obamas 2 percentage point payroll tax
cut and current jobless benets for the
long-term unemployed were extended as
well.
All sides say they want a deal and
that now that the election is over every-
one can show more exibility than in the
heat of the campaign.
Fiscal cliff: Impasse on tax rates a big hurdle
By Christopher S. Rugaber

WASHINGTON The number of
people seeking unemployment benets
fell last week by 8,000 to a seasonally
adjusted 355,000, a possible sign of a
healing job market. But ofcials cau-
tioned that the gures were distorted by
Superstorm Sandy.
The Labor Department said Thursday
that the four-week average of applica-
tions, a less volatile measure, rose by
3,250 to 370,500.
The storm could affect weekly applica-
tions for up to four weeks, a Labor
spokesman said.
Applications declined in one state last
week because power outages prevented
officials from receiving applications.
The spokesman wouldnt identify the
state. The storm also pushed applica-
tions in other states up because some
people who could not go to work sought
benets.
Most economists expect applications
will rise in the coming weeks. Jill Brown,
an economist at Credit Suisse, said that
large hurricanes have historically pushed
up applications by about 4 percent. That
suggests they could reach 390,000.
If applications stay below 360,000
after the storms effects fade, it would be
a good sign for the job market.
Weekly applications have uctuated
between 360,000 and 390,000 since
January. At the same time, employers
have added an average of nearly 157,000
jobs a month. Thats only been enough to
lower the unemployment rate slowly. It
has declined to 7.9 percent from 8.3 per-
cent this year. And some of the decline
was because more people gave up look-
ing for work and werent counted as
unemployed.

NORWALK, Conn. Priceline.com
Inc. plans to buy online travel-research
company Kayak Software Corp. for $1.8
billion to expand its travel business.
Priceline will pay about $500 million
in cash and $1.3 billion in stock and
assumed options. The deal values Kayak
at $40 a share, a 29 percent premium
over its closing price Thursday.
Shares of Kayak which also report-
ed a 78 percent jump in third-quarter
earnings soared in after-hours trading
while Priceline shares fell.
Kayak allows users to compare hun-
dreds of travel sites when looking for
ights, hotels and rental cars. It then
sends the consumer to other websites to
complete their purchase and earns fees
on the referrals, although some bookings
can be made directly on Kayaks website
and mobile applications. It also sells
advertising.
Kayak was created by the same execu-
tives who helped launch other travel
sites including Expedia, Travelocity and
Orbitz. The company went public in July
after delaying its offering more than a
year while it waited for the market to
strengthen.
The strategy of waiting seemed to
work the shares jumped 28 percent on
the rst day of trading, and Priceline will
pay 57 percent more than Kayaks IPO
price.
The deal needs the approval of
Kayaks shareholders and of regulators.
It is expected to close in the rst quarter
of next year.

There is only one place good enough, or
appropriate enough, for the 10th anniversary of
the Valparaiso Bowl.
It isnt Menlo High School.
Or Sacred Heart Prep for that matter.
Nope, version 10 of Knights versus Gators
belongs in one place: primetime.
And so, all of Valparaiso will pack into cars
and buses and head over to Woodside High
School in Redwood City and play under the
Wildcats lights in a game where the teams will
con-
tribute to that
never-ending debate of
what happens when an unstoppable
force (like the Menlo offense) meets an immov-
able object (like the SHP defense).
They have a great defense, said Menlo head
coach Mark Newton. They have really solid
players at each position. Theyre coached really
well. They tackle well and really y to the ball.
They do a pretty good job of coverage.
They have the whole package, said SHP
head coach Pete Lavorato. Were working real-
ly hard on our secondary coverage. Were work-
ing really hard on our pass rush lanes. Were
kind of approaching them a little bit like Terra
Nova who also likes to spread it out.
Statisically, this game is a fans dream. In
Menlo, you have an offense that looks near
unstoppable when its clicking. And in the
Gators, you have a defense that Lavorato
has called, on more than one occasion, the best
hes ever had.
The Daily Journal Game of the Week, in all
its Rivaly Week glory, is scheduled for a 7 p.m.
kickoff.
We dont have any prob-
lem getting up for this
game, just like them,
Lavorato said. Its a rivalry
game. Were only a stones
throw from each other on
Valparaiso. Theres brag-
ging rights and all that good
stuff. So, itll be a solid football game. Its going
to be a hard-fought battle. We have a lot of
respect for Menlo and the job Mark Newton
does there. Its going to be fun.
Fun because the teams enter the 2012

There are a lot of questions and misconcep-
tions high school athletes have when it comes
to the college recruiting process. Scholarship
money, eligibility, and the benets of private
coaches and showcase events are all aspects of
which many high school athletes and their
parents are aware, but may not have a rm
grasp of.
Serra baseball manager Craig Gianinno
believes it is important prospective college
athletes have as much information available to
them, so he set out to let his schools student-
athletes know just what goes into the process
by the men who do the recruiting.
Thursday night, Gianinno and Serra pre-
sented the second annual recruiting informa-
tion seminar, featuring coaches from a number
of Bay Area universities, including San
Francisco State, University of San Francisco,
Santa Clara University and Cal State
University-East Bay to let parents and players
exactly how to get their son to play sports at
the college level.
While the panel, which also included former
Serra standouts Ryan Allgrove and Justin
Maffei, was baseball specic, the information
provided benets student-athletes in any sport.
Its not about the sport. Its about (nding)
the right t, Gianinno said. We just want to
provide a deeper understanding of the recruit-
ing process.
Using a question-and-answer format, about
200 student-athletes and their parents asked
the panel about a range of topics. One of the
most misunderstood topics is the question of
scholarship money said Jon Norfolk, recruit-
ing coordinator and pitching coach at Cal
State-East Bay.
I think every kid wants a scholarship,
Norfolk. What many may not understand,
Norfolk said, is baseball coaches have a very
limited pool of scholarship money. At Cal
State-East Bay, for example, Norfolk said he
has nine scholarships, which equals about
$55,000, to disperse to a 27-man baseball
team. Very rarely do players get full scholar-
ships. And the ones who do get the most
money tend to play the key spots on the eld:
centereld, shortstop, pitchers and catchers.
High school athletes need to determine how
they can best t into a program and then go
about lling that schools need. It may not
result in a lot of scholarship money, but the
goal is to be playing.
All of the coaches on the panel agreed
nances should be the last thing athletes
should be looking at. Instead, they said to
focus on nding the right program for them;
the right academic program, the right athletic
program and worry about money last. As
Norfolk said in regard to nancing college,
Where theres a will, theres a way.
Allgrove knows better than most the ins and
outs of the college recruiting system. After
graduating from Serra in 2008, he was a
recruited walk-on at Fresno State. After a year
with the Bulldogs, Allgrove decided to come
home and enrolled and played at College of
San Mateo for a season before earning a
scholarship to U.C. Davis, from where he
graduated this past spring.
Allgrove said one thing any player needs to
do before deciding where to play in college is
to objectively evaluate your attributes. In other
words, how good are you really?
You have to be honest with yourself,
Allgrove said.
The most important step a prospective col-
lege can take, according to the panelists, is to
contact the coach at the school. Send an email,
make a phone call, let the college coach know
you are interested in playing for their school.
Attend camps at the school to make a connec-
tion with the coaching staff. Anything you can
do to let a college coach know you are inter-
ested in playing for them can go a long way.
Its all about just stepping outside your
boundaries and making a call, Norfolk said.
He told a story of nding a player through an
open tryout at the school. He said this pitcher
was throwing fastballs in the high 80s and
Norfolk had no idea this player was even on
campus.
He never really stepped outside the box (to
make it known he wanted to play in college),
Norfolk said.
Doug Williams, manager at College of San
Mateo, believes the forum was very important
because he realizes how big a step it is to go
from the high school to the college ranks.
I think its so valuable to these students and
their parents, Williams said. The informa-
tion that goes out is so important for the major
decisions these people are making. Its invalu-
able. Youre talking about a pivotal step. I
cant tell you how many times parents tell me,
I wish I would have known more (about the
recruiting process).

ALAMEDA Trying to stop Baltimore
running back Ray Rice was already a monu-
mental task facing the Oakland Raiders this
week. Doing it without seven-time Pro Bowl
defensive lineman Richard Seymour will make
the challenge even more daunting.
Seymour missed his second straight practice
Thursday due to a lingering hamstring injury
and is questionable to play in Baltimore on
Sunday. The 12th-year veteran was already on
a light practice schedule as a result of his trou-
blesome knees.
Neither Seymour nor
Raiders coach Dennis
Allen sounded too opti-
mistic about the prospects
of the 33-year-old defender
playing against the Ravens.
I dont know, Im not
sure, Seymour said.
Hammies are tough. Ive
had them throughout my
career. The only thing you
can do is work hard. When its ready Ill be
back.
Allen has had a tendency to take an overly
cautious approach at times with some of his
injured players but the rookie head coach made
it clear thats not the case with Seymour.
He couldnt practice today if he had to,
Allen said atly. Well see where he is tomor-
row.
If Seymour cant play, the Raiders would be
forced to use a patchwork lineup that also has
some health issues. Backup defensive tackle
Desmond Bryant was pulled out of last weeks
loss to Tampa Bay with an irregular heartbeat,
while defensive ends Matt Shaughnessy and
Dave Tollefson are nursing sore shoulders.
The Raiders need all the healthy bodies they
can nd if they are to have any hope of slowing
down Rice, a two-time Pro Bowl running back
who is fth in the AFC in rushing with 622
yards and six touchdowns.
It doesnt help that Oakland is coming off its
worst showing of the season after allowing
Tampa Bay rookie Doug Martin to rush for four
touchdowns and a franchise record 251 yards.
Before that game the Raiders had done fairly
well against the run. But the loss to the Bucs
exposed several problems, most of them tack-
ling.
Allen made that an emphasis in practice this
week and put the players through a padded
practice Wednesday in hopes of improving
their tackling techniques after Martin gained
197 of his yards before getting hit.
Its just focusing in, Seymour said.
Defensive coordinator Jason Tarver said the
majority of the Raiders breakdowns have come
in basic technique and fundamentals. He noted
that players were in position to stop Martin
numerous times but failed to bring the rookie
running back down.
We have to tackle better, Tarver said. We
had two games where we didnt. We have to
know where our help is and tackle better.
There will be even more pressure on the
Raiders defense this week.
Running backs Darren McFadden and Mike
Goodson are both in walking boots, leaving sel-
dom-used Taiwan Jones and fullback Marcel
Reece to split the reps in practice with the rst
team offense.
Oakland is also trying to sort out who its right
tackle will be. Khalif Barnes, who began the
season as the starter, returned to practice this
week after missing six games with a groin
injury. Hes been splitting time in practice with
backup Willie Smith and rookie Tony
Bergstrom.
Obviously, Ive got some kinks to get out,
Barnes said. Ive just been out there on the
eld trying to test the water. I dont know any-
thing about playing.

Central Coast Section playoffs next week, the Knights and the
Gators are in.
Even if the playoff seeding wasnt involved, the game is big
for both schools and for all the kids, Newton said. Were not
too terribly concerned about that. Were just focused on Prep
and what a solid team they have.
For us, its about executing (on offense) the way weve exe-
cuted against teams with good defenses and good players
keep our execution high and play smart football. Thats what
we need to do against Prep. The bottom line, itll come down
to pretty basic aspects of football making our blocks and
when we get some creases, get some positive yards running.
Throw the ball well and catch it.
Pulling the strings on offense is Jack Heneghan, arguably the
most gifted quarterback the heralded SHP defense has seen all
year long. Its a defense allowing less than seven points a game
this year. Menlos offense comes in averaging 52.
Hes a pretty good runner, too, Lavorato said of Heneghan
and his 25 touchdowns and only one interception. A part of it
is understanding that hes going to complete his passes and we
cant get down on ourselves because he completes a ball. We
just have to be disciplined in our pass-rush lanes and read our
keys in the secondary. The one thing we need to do really well
is tackle when they catch the ball because they make a lot of
yards after the catch as well. Its going to be tough, but were
going to try and slow them down.
And regardless of seeding come CCS time, there is a little
thing known as momentum. For both teams, a win on Friday
night is a step in the right direction come playoff time.
Of course, if you win, its going to give you condence,
Lavorato said. But most importantly, its if you play well. We
know Menlo is a really good team so were not going to go in
the tank if they beat us. Certainly a win would be a tremendous
thing for us going into the CCS playoffs.
We have done a phenomenal job of protecting the ball this
year and creating turnovers, Newton said. Playing a great
team, like Prep is, that becomes exponentially important. We
just want to execute the way that weve done. Thats more dif-
cult when you play a good team and a defense like Prep has.

SANTA CLARA When Alex Smith is
good he can be very good. When Smith is
very good, the San Francisco 49ers are practi-
cally unbeatable.
While the staples of San Franciscos suc-
cess this season remain a rock-solid defense
and the NFLs top-ranked rushing game,
Smiths play at quarterback has been a key
variable thats put the 49ers over the top in a
string of lopsided victories.
The rst-place 49ers, coming off a bye
week, begin the second half of the season
Sunday against the St. Louis Rams at 6-2 with
a 1 1/2-game lead in the NFC West. The six
victories have come by an average margin of
20 points, and Smith has a 120.0 quarterback
rating in those games.
The eighth-year veteran knows his strong
season to this point will ultimately be judged
by what he and the 49ers do the remainder of
the year.
Smith says hes not really reecting on a
rst half that has established him as one of the
leagues top performers so far. Smith ranks
fourth among NFL quarterbacks with a passer
rating of 102.1. Hes second in the league
with a completion percent-
age of 69.4.
You hope youre play-
ing your best football
come November and
December, Smith said.
As you move into the
back half of the season,
these are huge games, so
you hope youre playing
better and better as the
season goes on.
Smith is playing some of the best football of
his career. He has steadily emerged beyond
the game-manager label some tagged him
with last season when he guided the 49ers to
a 13-3 record and berth in the NFC
Championship game in coach Jim Harbaughs
rst year with the team.
Smith has developed more as a playmaker
and is averaging 7.9 yards per pass attempt,
which ranks fourth in the NFL. And he enters
the second half on a roll, having produced two
of the best statistical games of his career in the
past month.
Smith threw for a season-high 303 yards
with a passer rating of 156.3 while leading the
49ers to a franchise-record 621 yards during a
45-3 blowout of the Buffalo Bills on Oct. 7.
He topped that with a career-high 157.1 pass-
er rating in San Franciscos last game, a 24-3
victory at Arizona on Oct. 29.
Smith completed 18 of 19 passes for 232
yards and three touchdowns against the
Cardinals, setting an NFL record with a 94.7
completion percentage for a quarterback with
a minimum of 15 attempts. He was named
NFC Offensive Player of the Week for the rst
time two days later.
The 49ers will complete a run of three con-
secutive games against their West rivals when
they face the Rams, who are well aware of
Smiths progress: He had two of his best
games last season in wins over St. Louis.
You have a quarterback that is playing
great football, Rams linebacker James
Laurinaitis said. When you look at the
Niners, they denitely have a guy who can
carry them when needed. I think Alex Smith
has proved that.
The 49ers have diversied their offense this
season, adding veteran receivers Randy Moss
and Mario Manningham to the mix. Smiths
versatility allows offensive coordinator Greg
Roman a lot of exibility when determining
how to come at opponents.
San Francisco has been striving for balance
against opponents that key on three-time Pro
Bowl running back Frank Gore and the power
rushing attack the offense revolves around.
We present a lot, said Smith, who has
completions to 11 different players this sea-
son and also has rushed for 129 yards. I love
getting everybody involved, thats for sure. I
feel like were not predictable. I dont feel like
(opponents) are out there knowing what were
doing. We do a lot. We run all the schemes
that are there, and its fun.
Smiths consistency and efficiency also
have helped in San Franciscos climb to 13th
in the NFL rankings for total offense this
week after nishing 26th in that category last
season.
And now, his name is being mentioned next
to Joe Montana and Steve Young, the Hall of
Famers who preceded Smith as San
Franciscos quarterback.
If Smiths midseason numbers hold until
the end of the year, his completion percentage
would rank third in team history behind only
Young (70.3 in 1994) and Montana (70.2 in
1989). Smith also could join Young and
Montana as the only 49ers to post a quarter-
back rating of 100.0 or better in a season.
Smith has been key to 49ers success

Good as Andrew Luck and Robert Grifn III have been, look
beyond the rst-year quarterbacks making a strong rst impression
and check out the other NFL rookies delivering dynamic perform-
ances.
Its a deep class, from Tampa Bays Doug Martin, Clevelands
Trent Richardson and Grifns Redskins teammate Alfred Morris
at running back, to the Rams Chris Givens and Titans Kendall
Wright at wide receiver, to Minnesotas Matt Kalil and Clevelands
Mitchell Schwartz on the offensive line, to Dallas Morris
Clairborne and New Englands trio of Chandler Jones, Donta
Hightower and Tavon Wilson on defense. Even kickers Greg
Zuerlein and Blair Walsh are getting in on the act.
By and large, this is an outstanding group of players. What
theyve done halfway into the season I think youre safe to say
it is one of the best groups of rookies ever, said former Dallas
Cowboys general manager and NFL draft consultant Gil Brandt,
whos been evaluating football players since the 1950s. This is as
good as any group, in terms of playing time and honors.
Rookies certainly are being counted on like never before.
Heading into the game between Lucks Indianapolis Colts and
the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night, there were 503 games
started by rst-year players, the highest total through Week 9 since
at least 1991, according to STATS LLC. As recently as 15 years
ago, there were fewer than half that many rookie starts.
And theyre producing.
STATS said the 10,089 yards passing by rst-year players leads
the way to this point in a season for any year since the 1970 AFL-
NFL merger. This class 5,716 yards rushing is the most since the
merger except for the strike year of 1987, when replacement play-
ers inated the statistics.
AFC and NFC offensive player of the week honors both went to
rookies this week: Luck, whose 433 yards passing Sunday set a
single-game record for a rookie; and Martin, who rushed for a fran-
chise-record 251 yards and four touchdowns and became the rst
back not rst rookie since at least 1940 to score on three TD
runs of at least 45 yards in one game, according to STATS.
I dont really know if theres something in the water or what.
The rookies are denitely making a huge impact this year,
Dolphins running back Reggie Bush said.
He plays in Miami alongside one of those green QBs getting so
much attention, Ryan Tannehill, the eighth overall pick in Aprils
draft, behind No. 1 Luck and No. 2 Grifn. Add in Clevelands
Brandon Weeden (No. 22) and Seattles surprising Russell Wilson
(taken 75th overall, in the third round, he beat out veteran free
agent Matt Flynn), and this seasons rst-year quarterbacks already
have accounted for 19 victories, closing in on the record of 26 set
in 2004 by a collection that included Eli Manning, Ben
Roethlisberger and Carson Palmer.
In his rst eight games, Luck threw for the same number of
yards as four-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning in 2012 and put the
Colts, 2-14 a season ago, on pace to make the playoffs.
Grifn and Wilson rank sixth and seventh in NFC passer rating,
ahead of veterans such as Eli Manning of the Giants, Jay Cutler of
the Bears and Matthew Stafford of the Lions.
This seasons NFL rookies as good as any group

INDIO Raushee Warren has no
regrets. He waited through a decade in
amateur boxing and a U.S.-record
three Olympics to ght for a gold
medal, only to lose his rst ghts in
Athens, Beijing and London.
Although he has nally accepted
hell never get that gold, Warren is
hoping for even more lucrative
rewards as a professional ghter.
I just want to get started, Warren
said while relaxing in the empty arena
where hell ght Puerto Ricos Luis
Rivera in his pro debut. Its been a
long time coming, and Ive got goals I
want to reach. Its grind time now.
Warren is among ve ghters from
the least successful U.S. mens boxing
team in Olympic history who will
make their debuts together at the
Fantasy Springs Resort Casino out-
side Palm Springs, Calif., on a card
headlined by Gary Russell Jr., a 2008
Olympic team member and promising
pro.
Warren, Terrell Gausha, Marcus
Browne, Errol Spence Jr. and
Dominic Breazeale all intend to prove
theyve got futures beyond those dis-
mal Olympics, where they became the
rst American team to win no medals.
It was denitely a disappoint-
ment for everybody, but we cant go
back and change anything, said
Gausha, who dramatically stopped
his first London opponent. I really
dont have any complaints about
amateur boxing. I had a lot of suc-
cess, and I got to see the world. I
feel like I left everything in the ring
for USA Boxing, and now Im
ready for what comes next.
Despite the collective London op,
the cachet of these ve ghters
Olympic pedigree still attracted
famed manager Al Haymon. The
mastermind behind Floyd
Mayweather Jr.s rise signed the
quintet and put them on Showtime
for their debuts, beginning the
process of bolstering their pro
records.

Ford has prettiest, affordable hybrid car
By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Who says that fuel-thrifty gasoline-electric
hybrid cars have to be snub-nosed, rounded
and ho-hum to look at?
Not designers at Ford Motor Co., whose
2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid is arguably the pret-
tiest hybrid car in the U.S. market.
Most people wont recognize this new, cur-
vaceous model as a relative of last years Ford
Fusion. Some sports car enthusiasts thought
the test 2013 Fusion Hybrid had styling cues
from an Aston Martin luxury sedan.
Better yet, the extensively-revised-for-2013
Fusion Hybrid is quiet inside and larger than
its predecessor, has European handling and is
rated at 47 miles per gallon in combined
city/highway driving by the federal govern-
ment.
This rating makes the ve-seat, 2013 Fusion
Hybrid second only to the long-running, mid-
size, ve-seat Toyota Prius hatchback in fuel
efciency in the U.S. market. The 2012 Prius
is rated at a combined 50 mpg by the U.S.
government. No 2013 Prius rating is posted
yet.
Just as notable is the 2013 Fusion Hybrids
starting retail price of $27,995. This includes
the latest technology lithium-ion battery that
stores electricity thats generated while the car
travels.
The price for the new car is $1,575 less than
the starting manufacturers suggested retail
price, including destination charge, of
$29,570 for last years Fusion Hybrid with
last years styling and older, nickel-metal
hydride battery.
And, not to be missed, Ford offers a slew of

standard and optional safety equipment on the
new Fusion Hybrid.
There are eight standard air bags, including
two knee air bags for the two front-seat passen-
gers to keep them from submarining from
their seats during a frontal crash. Optional safe-
ty items include a new warning system to alert a
driver that an impending frontal collision is pos-
sible and attention needs to be directed to a
vehicle ahead.
Say a truck just ahead slows, but the Fusion
Hybrid drivers foot remains on the gas pedal
without change of pressure. The warning sys-
tem ashes bright red lights onto the driver-side
windshield and makes an audible warning
sound.
Competitors to the new Fusion Hybrid obvi-
ously include the Prius, which has been the top-
selling hybrid in the United States. The 2012
Prius has a starting MSRP, including destination
charge, of $24,795. No 2013 Prius pricing has
been released.
Toyotas Camry Hybrid has a retail starting
price of $26,785 as a 2012 model. This is
$1,210 less than the stylish 2013 Fusion Hybrid.
The ve-seat, mid-size Camry Hybrid is rated at
a combined 41 mpg.
Meantime, another stylish gas-electric hybrid
the 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid starts at
$26,626, or $1,370 less than the new Fusion
Hybrid.
The 2013 Fusion Hybrid is one of three
Fusion offerings.
One is a plug-in model thats due later this
model year, and the other is a gasoline model
that provides a choice of three, four-cylinder
engines: A naturally aspirated four cylinder and
two turbocharged four cylinders. For 2013,
there is no V-6.
All the new Fusions have a new front-wheel
drive platform thats a reworked platform from
the European Ford Mondeo sedan.
The test car won high marks for its looks, and
people didnt stop with compliments about the
exterior.
The interior, too, seemed upscale, with a
high-quality look to the plastics and testers
comfortable seats that felt neither too rm nor
cushy.
Note the dashboard sits higher than those in a
Camry or Honda Accord, though.
The Fusion Hybrids electronic aids take
some getting used to, and yes, the new hybrid
can be had with the often-criticized MyFord
Touch system that puts audio, ventilation and
navigation controls on a display in the middle of
the dashboard.
But the buttons there dont provide any tactile
feedback, so drivers also can use some steering
wheel buttons that are redundant for the radio or
use voice control, if they learn the proper com-
mands.
The Fusion Hybrid is an easy traveler, with
decent spirit in most driving situations. The
combined engine-electric system delivers 188
horsepower but it feels like more.
Sadly, the real-world fuel mileage was just
26.9 mpg with much pedal-to-the-metal driving.

DETROIT In the days since Superstorm
Sandy, an alarming prediction has ashed
across the Internet: Hundreds of thousands of
flood-damaged vehicles will inundate the
nations used-car market, and buyers might
not be told which cars have been marred.
Not true, according to insurance-claims data
reviewed by the Associated Press. The actual
number of affected vehicles is far smaller, and
some of those cars will be repaired and kept
by their owners. The dire predictions are being
spread by a company that sells vehicle title
and repair histories and by the largest group
representing American car dealers.
They claim the number of cars damaged by
Sandy could be larger than when Hurricane
Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005 and marred
more than 600,000 vehicles. But an AP analy-
sis of claims data supplied by major insurance
companies shows the number of cars reported
damaged so far is a fraction of that.
The companies State Farm, Progressive,
New Jersey Manufacturers and Nationwide
have received about 31,000 car-damage
claims.
Claims about flood-damaged cars arent true

TUCSON, Ariz. Gabrielle Giffords
limped to the front of the courtroom and
stared silently Thursday as she came face-to-
face for the rst time with the man who tried
to kill her.
The former congresswoman hadnt been
near Jared Lee Loughner since the deadly
rampage outside a meet-and-greet at a super-
market that killed six people and left her par-
tially blind, with a paralyzed right arm and
brain injury.
Giffords astronaut husband told Loughner
what Giffords couldnt, before he was sen-
tenced to seven life terms for the January 2011
slayings and attempted assassination of a
member of Congress.
Mr. Loughner, you may have put a bullet
through her head, but you havent put a dent in
her spirit and her commitment to make the
world a better place, Mark Kelly said.
Giffords, wearing a black brace around her
torso, looked closely at the 24-year-old
Loughner for several minutes without uttering
a word.
Loughner returned their gaze, but showed
no emotion. His mother sobbed nearby.
Loughner was then ordered to serve the
seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140
years in federal prison for the shootings that
killed six people and wounded 13, including
Giffords, as she met with constituents in a
Tucson shopping plaza.
His guilty plea enables
him to avoid a federal
death sentence. No state
charges will be led.
The sentencing marked
the end of a nearly two-
year-long saga in which
Loughner, who has schizo-
phrenia, was forcibly med-
icated at a Missouri prison
medical facility so he can
be competent to under-
stand the charges against
him. U.S. District Judge
Larry Burns recommended
Thursday that he remain
there indenitely.
Some victims, including
Giffords, welcomed the
plea deal as a way to move
on. It spared victims and
their families from having
to go through a potentially
lengthy and traumatic trial and locks
Loughner up for life.
At the hearing, Loughner looked nothing
like the smiling bald man with a bruise around
his eye seen in the mug shot taken after the
shooting. He had closely cropped brown hair
and was wearing dress pants, shirt and tie.
One by one, his victims had the chance to
tell him how his actions immeasurably
changed their lives. They approached the
podium to address Loughner, and asked the
judge if they could turn to face him.

For anyone who cringed just a little
while watching the trailer for Lincoln
and worried that it might be a near-paro-
dy of a Steven Spielberg lm, with its
heartfelt proclamations, sentimental
tones and inspiring John Williams score,
fret not.
The movie itself is actually a lot more
reserved than that more a wonky,
nuts-and-bolts lesson about the way
political machinery operates than a
sweeping historical epic that tries to
encapsulate the entirety of the revered
16th presidents life. That was a smart
move on the part of Spielberg and
screenwriter Tony Kushner, a Pulitzer
prize-winner for the play Angels in
America who also wrote the script for
Spielbergs Munich.
Talky and intimate but also surprising-
ly funny, Lincoln focuses on the nal
four months of Abraham Lincolns life
as he fought for the passage of the 13th
Amendment to the Constitution, abolish-
ing slavery and strove to unite a nation
torn apart by the Civil War. (It is based
partly on Doris Kearns Goodwins best-
seller Team of Rivals: The Political
Genius of Abraham Lincoln.) This
tumultuous period provides a crucible to
display everything Lincoln was made of,
both his folksiness and fortitude. He tells
long, winding anecdotes to enlighten
and charm those around him but also
forcefully hammers home his points to
get what he wants.
Totally unsurprisingly, Daniel Day-
Lewis inhabits the role fully. He disap-
pears into it with small details and grand
gestures, from his carriage to the
cadence of his speech, and the Academy
should probably just give him the best-
actor Oscar now and get it over with.
Although Lincoln itself often feels too
conservative, stagey and safe, Day-
Lewis performances is full of so many
clever choices that he keeps it com-
pelling.
Of course, the lm has all the top-
notch technical hallmarks weve come to
expect from Spielberg: Its handsomely
staged and impeccable in its production
design. But despite the dramatic streaks
of misty white light streaming from the
outdoors into these dark, solemn rooms
of power a signature of his longtime
collaboration with Oscar-winning cine-

DAVID MAMETS SPEED-THE-PLOW
AT ACTORS THEATRE OF SAN FRAN-
CISCO. Ah, Playwright David Mamet. As a
screenwriter and director (The Verdict, The
Untouchables, The Spanish Prisoner), he has
done very well in Hollywood. But luckily for
his audiences, Mamet isnt reluctant to bite
the hand that feeds him. His lms Wag the

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
Friday Nov. 9, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
Lincoln is much more muted from an
aesthetic standpoint than last years
equally old-fashioned War Horse.
This is a movie thats easier to admire
than love; its impressive but not exact-
ly moving.
But it is unexpectedly humorous. The
process of cajoling and coercing mem-
bers of Congress to vote for passage of
the amendment provides several
estimable character actors with wonder-
fully showy roles. Tommy Lee Jones
does a spin on his cantankerous screen
persona as the quick-witted, fiercely
verbal Republican congressman from
Pennsylvania, Thaddeus Stevens, a
strong proponent of abolition. David
Strathairn is the sharp-minded and con-
descending Secretary of State William
Seward, who was Lincolns foe before
becoming a member of his cabinet.
There are almost too many great sup-
porting players in juicy, tantalizingly
small parts. Youd love to see more from
all of them, including Lee Pace as a
grandstanding Democrat railing against
the amendment on the House of
Representatives floor, Michael
Stuhlbarg as a conicted congressman,
Hal Holbrook as the powerful Lincoln
ally Preston Blair and Jackie Earle
Haley as the vice president of the
Confederacy. And then there are James
Spader, John Hawkes and Tim Blake
Nelson as the cynical, glad-handing trio
hired to lobby the toughest Democrats
and secure those nal, crucial votes;
their banter is a consistent source of
laughs.
It gets to the point where major g-
ures in Lincolns life Sally Field as
his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, and
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as his elder son
whos eager to see combat dont reg-
ister as powerfully as they should
because the script is just so packed. And
that effort to contain so much history in
one feature lm especially extends to
the ending. This is no spoiler we all
know what happened to Lincoln but
theres a beautifully photographed
moment that occurs before his assassi-
nation that would have left the lm on
the most perfectly lovely, poignant note.
Instead, it keeps going and
becomes the movie you might have
feared Lincoln would be.
Lincoln, from DreamWorks
Pictures and 20th Century Fox, is rated
PG-13 for an intense scene of war vio-
lence, some images of carnage and brief
strong language. Running time: 150
minutes. Three stars out of four.

LINCOLN
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES The task of encap-
sulating the essence of Abraham Lincoln
in a single lm took Steven Spielberg
roughly three times as long as it took the
16th president to win the Civil War,
abolish slavery and put the country on
the course to recovery.
Creating such a historical epic may
not compare to the colossal task of sav-
ing a bloodily divided nation. But by
Hollywood standards, Lincoln is as
monumental as it gets, even for a couple
of multiple Academy Award winners as
Spielberg and the man he chose to play
the president, Daniel Day-Lewis.
Born in Britain, Day-Lewis had to
think about Lincoln not only as a tower-
ing historical gure, but also as a foreign
statesman whose portrayal would be a
sensitive matter for U.S. audiences that
revere the president.
Because of the nature of the iconog-
raphy surrounding his life and the extent
to which he is mythologized and carved
in stone, its very difcult to imagine
that one could ever approach him, to get
close enough, Day-Lewis said in a
recent interview alongside Spielberg.
I was very shy about the idea of tak-
ing on this. Plus, I like working here.
Ive been tremendously privileged in
being able to work in this country over
the years. The idea of desecrating the
memory of the most-beloved president
this country has ever known was just
kind of a fearful thing to me, said Day-
Lewis, who earned best-actor Oscars for
My Left Foot and There Will Be
Blood.
Spielberg had long considered a lm
about Lincoln. He did not want to tell the
whole life story, from Lincolns rail-
splitting days as a youth to his assassina-
tion right after the war ended.
He also did not want to make a Civil
War lm loaded with grand battles or tell
the story of a war through one mans
eyes. Spielberg already had done similar
stories set in World War II with
Schindlers List, the Holocaust saga
that won him best-picture and director
Oscars, and Saving
Private Ryan, the
combat epic that
brought him his sec-
ond directing trophy.
His approach
began to coalesce in
1999 when he met
with historian Doris
Kearns Goodwin,
who was in the early
stages of writing her
mammoth book
Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of
Abraham Lincoln, a detailed chronicle
of the unlikely alliances Lincoln formed
with political opponents who initially
considered him an unqualied upstart.
Her book traced the careers of Lincoln
and his three competitors for the 1860
Republican presidential nomination and
followed his White House years during
the war through his assassination ve
years later. The notion of a politician
turning bitter rivals into supporters and
facilitators struck Spielberg as the ideal
way to present the spirit of Lincoln.
Spielberg acquired film rights to
Goodwins book when only a few chap-
ters had been written. As Goodwin
labored away on the writing, Spielberg
had to condense what would become a
950-page account into a story that could
play out on the screen in two and a half
hours.
An early draft of the screenplay by
playwright Tony Kushner (Angels in
America) ran to 550 pages.
It was a miniseries, not a motion pic-
ture, Spielberg said. Brilliant pages,
but certainly not a single motion picture
or any practical motion picture. But
from all of those pages, what stood out
to me and really was shockingly appar-
ent was almost the nexus of his entire
existence as the president, which was
abolishing slavery by a constitutional
amendment, the 13th Amendment.
And that to me became the focus that
I wanted to put all of our efforts into,
telling that story. Because to see Lincoln
at work, with his sleeves rolled up, with
all the murky machinations of legislating
a bill with a divided house not too dis-
similar with whats
happening today, and
not too dissimilar to
what was happening
when we first sat
down to tackle Doris
book. That to both
Tony and me and
seemed to offer the
sort of drama, and it
was almost the very
end of his life.
So Lincoln takes its cue from the
last couple of chapters in Goodwins
book, playing out from January to April
1865, as Lincoln marshals his allies in
the seemingly impossible task of passing
the amendment while negotiating peace
without letting one jeopardize the
other.
Lincoln co-stars Sally Field as the
presidents forceful, high-strung wife,
Mary Todd Lincoln; Joseph Gordon-
Levitt as their oldest son, eager to enlist
in the Union Army; David Strathairn as
Secretary of State William Seward; and
Tommy Lee Jones as rebrand abolition-
ist congressman Thaddeus Stevens.
Political veteran Seward had been the
Republican front-runner in 1860, but the
nomination went to dark horse Lincoln
a backwoods lawyer who had served
just a single term in the U.S. House and
lost two campaigns for U.S. Senate.
Lincoln brought many opponents into
his presidential fold, including Seward,
whom he chose as secretary of state,
not unlike Barack Obama did with
Hilary Clinton now as our secretary of
state, Spielberg said.
Goodwins study of the unlikely
alliances Lincoln formed was critical to
Day-Lewis approach to capturing the
character of a leader who used his soft-
spoken gifts as storyteller and raconteur
to disarm critics and coax them toward
his way of thinking.
The central premise of that book is
terribly important in the clue that it gives
you to the temperament of that man,
who could set aside what for all of us
might be a sense of wounded pride or a
sense of dignity thats been bruised in
some way, Day-Lewis said.

Sunday who bring animals available
for adoption to get them exposed to all

going through the Harvest Festival. So
its a great way to introduce some of
our animals to potential adopters or
just people who will help spread the
word.
The Peninsula Humane Society is

This is the second year weve done
this and it was a terrific event for us
last year, Delucchi said. Were just
really thankful that they chose us again
and were happy to bring our animals
and have volunteers help out.

HARVEST
The guys joined the race for fun. Gabe
Pulliam applied online and told his
coworkers about the outing later. The
challenge has been getting together to
build.
Organizing the group building efforts
is a common challenge, even for reign-
ing champs.
El Toro Guapo, made up of a group of
guys who have been friends since high
school, are Red Bull Flugtag champions
from 2002 and 2003 the last year it
was held in San Francisco.
Brent Hedgpeth explained the guys
originally entered because it simply
looked fun. Their rst year, the team
created a slingshot that launched
Hedgpeth and a surfboard on wheels
into the Bay. In 2003, the guys designed
a catapult. Those winning concepts are
no longer allowed in the competition.
Only human power can be used to
launch the ying devices. So this year,
the guys have been spending their days
building a glider in San Carlos.
Despite being veterans, this time
around has been different. Ten years ago,
Hedgpeth said the team had little respon-
sibility giving the guys ample time to
meet up and work together. Now there
are jobs and families to take into consid-
eration. As such, the guys are often
building in smaller teams rather than a
big group.
Were just looking forward to having
fun, he said.
Having fun is a theme for those
involved and a business for Nick
Avedesian, marketing manager of the
Burlingame-based Infusion Lounge
Licensing Organization, which oversees
Infusion Lounge San Francisco and
Hotel Fusion.
Called Release the Dragon, the ying
craft features a winged dragon emerging
from a plush bed powered by geishas
and accompanied down the runway by
Taiko drum music. The hunky pilot and
geishas will be part of the skit each team
puts on before takeoff, said Avedesian.
While at rst the team thought it want-
ed to focus on going the farthest, the
focus changed to what they all do best
creating a fun environment.
Our entry tells the story of an excit-
ing night at Infusion Lounge and Hotel
Fusion, he said.
A winner will ultimately be chosen
from the pool of applicants. While dis-
tance is important, teams are also judged
on creativity and showmanship. The
winning team will be awarded a day of
skydiving alongside the Red Bull Air
Force. Second place will sail the seas
with Oracle Team USA. Third place will
go indoor skydiving at iFly. And, who-
ever gets the crowds vote, will win a
party with 15 friends.
Red Bull Flugtag will be held
Saturday, Nov. 10 at McCovey Cove in
San Francisco. Hangars open at 11 a.m.
The rst ight is at 1 p.m. and the last
ight will be around 3:30 p.m. The free
event also features live music, cash-only
concessions, beer garden, photo booths
and more in Lot A across from McCovey
Cove. For more information visit

FLUGTAG
Redwood City resident Laurence Solis
ventured out into the job fair at the for-
mer First American Title Insurance Co.
building on Marshall Street, where he
was also met with resource tables to help
with interview skills.
It was not just men at the event either,
there were plenty of women there too
seeking jobs at companies such as
Recology, Summit Steel Works, Target,
Macys, IKEA and the GreenPro
Network, among others.
Jacobs Gibson and her ofce worked
with employers extensively before yes-
terdays event to point out the benets of
hiring someone who was formerly in jail
or prison.
We tried to alleviate the employers
concerns, speak about the risks and let
them know there are tremendous bene-
ts to hiring the formerly incarcerated,
Jacobs Gibson told the Daily Journal.
Many at the event had previously
received services through Service
Connect, a San Mateo County Human
Services Agency program established
after state realignment transferred state
parolees back into the care of the coun-
tys probation system.
The HSA program provides the for-
merly incarcerated with services to help
them re-enter the community, such as
housing and support for mental health
and health needs.
The aim of Service Connect is to pro-
vide the former inmates with the tools
they need to survive in society and keep
them from ending up back in jail or
prison.
The transition from state care to coun-
ty care has gone well, said Deborah Lee
Torres, the director of Collaborative
Community Outcomes with the HSA.
Weve been able to provide critical
services up front, get them stabilized
around housing and next is employ-
ment, Torres said.
Yesterdays event was for non-violent,
non-sexual and non-serious convictions
only and attendees were required to pre-
register.
It is about helping them be produc-
tive and self sufcient but in the end
what they really need is a job, Jacobs
Gibson said.
After Belmont resident Phillip Brown
was tted with a new tie, he was wished
good luck by the volunteers who
helped him look his best.
I feel good, great, happy and
blessed, Brown said as he entered the
main oor of the job fair.
The benets of assisting the formerly
incarcerated nd work helps to reduce
crime and the reliance on social services
and creates wage earners who help grow
the local economy. The companies
employing the former inmates can
receive tax credits up to $9,000 and up to
$7,500 for job training reimbursements
through the Workforce Investment
Board.
The vision was not just to put on a
job fair but a successful job fair, Jacobs
Gibson said.
The event could be repeated depend-
ing on yesterdays success.

FAIR
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2012
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If at all possible, keep
your fnancial affairs to yourself, and by the same
token, keep your nose out of those of others. Privacy
will be highly valued by everyone with whom youre
involved.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If someone for
whom youre doing a job gives you specifc instruc-
tions, dont deviate from them without checking with
that person frst. If you do, serious complications
could result.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Keep your opinions
and/or suggestions to yourself regarding a matter
in which youre not directly involved. Even if the
receiving party is a close pal, your input wont be
welcomed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you spot shenani-
gans perpetrated by someone who does not operate
out in the open, dont let him or her know youre hip.
This way, youll have the advantage of surprise.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Try not to do anything
that could further antagonize an already reluctant
ally. This persons support could be crucial to you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you need to have
something serviced, check your sources as to who
would do the better job. If you dont, youll be leaving it
up to chance as to what kind of result you can expect.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Being far too pos-
sessive of someone with whom youre emotionally
involved could jeopardize the relationship. Loving the
person is one thing, smothering him or her is another.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Have some consider-
ation for your mates point of view regarding a vital
family issue. If you are oblivious to what he or she
thinks, it could trigger a whopper of an argument.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When working on
a task that requires the use of tools, do not allow
yourself to be rushed beyond what is a reasonable,
safe pace. The world wont come to an end if the job
takes you a bit longer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Attempt to manage your
fnancial resources with the care of a hard-nosed
banker. If instead you are careless or extravagant,
you can expect to suffer some fnancial inconve-
niences down the line.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Whether youre aware
of it or not, the example you set will be the one
everybody follows. If youre nasty or diffcult to deal
with, expect others to be so as well.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Should a person with
whom you have dealings begin to anger you, keep it
to yourself. Youd only make things worse if you react
with shouts or harsh words.

ty Recorder's Office. NOTICE TO PO-
TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
203 Public Notices
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 1-800-281-8219
or visit this Internet Web site www.recon-
trustco.com, using the file number as-
signed to this case 12-0062474. Infor-
mation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement in-
formation is to attend the scheduled sale.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Big changes
are coming to President Barack
Obamas administration just not
right away.
The White House is making the
nations high-stakes scal crisis its
top priority coming out of the elec-
tion, underscoring the vital impor-
tance of averting severe year-end
tax increases and spending cuts, not
just for the economy but in setting
the tone for Obamas second term.
Still, Obama is weighing replace-
ments for high-profile officials
expected to leave his Cabinet and
the White House soon. Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner and
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton both want to step down but
have indicated a willingness to
push their departures into next year,
or at least until successors are con-
rmed. Defense
Secretary Leon
Panetta also
wants to retire
next year.
The first
thing is to try to
nd a way out of
the box were in
with regards to
the scal cliff,
said Tom Daschle, the former
Senate majority leader who is close
to Obama. When the new
Congress convenes theyll begin
the nominating process for what I
expect will be a good number of
vacancies.
Obama privately delved into both
issues Thursday, his rst full day
back in Washington following his
re-election on Tuesday. The presi-
dent and his team were also assess-
ing how congressional Republicans
were positioning themselves fol-
lowing the election before saying
much publicly about his second
term.
The president will make his rst
postelection comments on the econ-
omy and the scal cliff Friday at
the White House.
In his victory speech Tuesday
night, Obama offered a call for rec-
onciliation after a divisive cam-
paign. But he made clear he had an
agenda in mind, citing a need for
changes in the tax code, as well as
immigration reform and climate
change.
Obama aides want to avoid what
they believe was an overreach by
President George W. Bush, who
declared after narrowly winning re-
election that he had political capi-
tal and intended to spend it. One
of Bushs rst moves was to push to
privatize Social Security, a plan that
was roundly rejected by Congress
and the public.
Change coming to Obamas team, just not right away
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The long
slog has turned into a sprint.
President Barack Obamas health
care law survived the Supreme
Court and the election; now the
uninsured can sign up for coverage
in about 11 months.
Even the governments top-rank-
ing Republican, House Speaker
John Boehner of Ohio, said
Thursday that Obamacare is the
law of the land. But not all hurdles
have been cleared.
Republican governors who
opposed the law have to decide
whether its better for their states to
now help carry it out. The adminis-
tration could stumble carrying out
the complex legislation, or get
tripped up if budget talks with
Congress lead to scaling back the
plan.
We are out of the political
gamesmanship and into the reali-
ty, said Sandy Praeger, Kansas
Republican insurance commission-
er. Next week, states have to say if
theyre committed to building the
framework for delivering health
insurance to millions.
We are still going to be strug-
gling through the politics, and
there are important policy hurdles
and logistical challenges, said
Andrew Hyman of the nonpartisan
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation,
helping states carry out the law.
Health overhaul turns into a sprint

seriously, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Of those behind bars, 12 or 13 will be able
to petition the court for resentencing within
the next two years. Although the onus is on
the prisoner, Guidotti is currently reviewing
each case for the ofce to prepare for their
potential return and collecting their prison
record to see how theyve been acting while in
custody.
They are entitled to a hearing but can be
denied if the court nds a remaining level of
danger, Guidotti said.
Before Tuesday, the law stated a person
convicted of two violent and serious felonies
could automatically be sentenced to 25 years
to life if convicted of a third crime regardless
of severity.
Prosecutors did have the option of not seek-
ing a third strike and judges did have discre-
tion not to count it in sentencing but the vari-
ances in application statewide increased the
support for its revamp.
Now, third strikes will only be imposed for
serious and violent crimes and already sen-
tenced inmates must also abide by the same
guidelines for reconsideration. Statewide,
approximately 2,800 prisoners qualify includ-
ing the dozen from San Mateo County.
The dozen inmates wont prove an undue
burden on local courts because of the small
number but it is still extra work for all
involved, Guidotti said.
While those who now have hope of reduced
time may warrant a new sentence, Guidotti
said a look at their criminal records show that
most are career criminals rather than people
with a few bouts of bad luck caught in an
unforgivably strict law.
Duane Davis, for example, started his incar-
ceration at the California Youth Authority in
1984 and every few years since was convicted
of possessing drugs for sale, battery on a
peace officer and numerous robberies. In
1999, he was convicted of being a felon with
a rearm in San Mateo County and a judge
imposed a Three Strikes sentence.
Guidotti said then, as now, a prosecution
committee would have convened to determine
whether to pursue the third strike.
David Pacheco, currently serving 25 years
to life since 1997 for driving a stolen vehicle,
also began as a youth before spending 1963
through 1997 amassing a collection of convic-
tions for drugs, burglary, forgery, possession
of stolen property, escaping from jail and res-
idential burglary.
That guy is the perfect example of some-
one whose current offense is not violent but is
basically doing life on the installment plan.
Every time he gets out, someone gets hurt,
Guidotti said.
Guidotti said shes open to reconsider his
and the other cases, particularly dependent
upon their history in the California
Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation.
Renee Anderson started in 1978 with for-
gery a charge which would bring several
convictions through the years and also pos-
sessed stolen property, robbed, escaped from
prison, committed grand theft and possessed
fraudulent checks. In 1999, San Mateo
County sent her to prison for 25 years to life
for passing a check with insufcient funds.
Anderson is eligible for resentencing in San
Mateo County but Guidotti said she received
the same sentence for robberies in San
Joaquin and Contra Costa counties. She may
be ineligible because of those, Guidotti said.
Willie Joe Cross is doing 25 years to life for
driving a stolen vehicle in 1997 after a history
of similar offenses, robbery, auto theft and
escape from custody.
Donald Green was sentenced in 1998 for
drug possession after charges of possessing
stolen property, violating probation numerous
times, attempting residential burglary and
assault with a rearm dating back to 1973.
Green is one of the few whose third strike
was a drug offense, Guidotti said.
Cornelius Wigfall was sentenced as a third-
striker in 2000 for three felony convictions
burglary, possessing stolen property and for-
gery. Like many others, he began in the
California Youth Authority in 1980 before
embarking on robbery, burglary, grand theft
and possessing a rearm.
Ones record is more important than the
third offense because those who look eligible
on paper often arent, Guidotti said.
Dennis Barnes is serving a third strike term
for stealing $20 worth of coffee. His defense
attorney, in fact, petitioned a San Mateo
County judge approximately six weeks ago
for a new sentence independent of the Three
Strikes ballot measure.
The judges comment was why in the
world would I consider that for this man? He
was so appalled, Guidotti said.
Barnes history it seems was not as minor as
a coffee theft. He spent time in prison for a
highway sniper case in Shasta County, shoot-
ing at seven cars and striking one person.
After his release, he threw a Molotov cocktail
at a sleeping man, injuring him severely but
stopping short of committing murder.
According to Wagstaffe and Guidotti, these
are the types of offenders who will remain
incarcerated even with the law change and
who illustrate the narrow slice of criminals
that the ofce pursued as three strikers.
While Wagstaffe thinks the push to change
the Three Strikes law may not have been so
strong if other counties were as selective in its
application, he doesnt second-guess the use
elsewhere.
They were responding to what their con-
stituency wants, he said.

Thursday. In the area of curriculum, Central
Middle School already has added a drama
elective to its range of class offerings, with
the district planning to add drama at Tierra
Linda Middle School as well. Drama classes
are also offered to all students through the
schools districts SMART-E program. In
addition, the San Carlos Childrens Theater
main stage productions will be held in
Mustang Hall at Central Middle School
throughout the year, making Mustang Hall
the new home of the San Carlos Childrens
Theater.
The performing arts are such an integral
part of a persons education, as they help
build and develop teamwork, communication,
condence, problem solving, critical and cre-
ative thinking skills. The San Carlos
Childrens Theater is proud and honored to be
able to provide this type of learning to the
San Carlos community through our partner-
ship with the school district. Theater and the
performing arts are a rst century phenome-
non whose skills are more than relevant in the
21st century, said Eron Block, artistic direc-
tor of the San Carlos Childrens Theater.
The San Carlos Childrens Theater is a vol-
unteer-led, nonprot organization committed
to educating youth in all aspects of theater
production while nurturing creative expres-
sion, self-condence, teamwork, communica-
tion and appreciation for the arts. It offers
drama courses, workshops and camps, cus-
tom programs and full stage productions for
creative enrichment, while teaching the fun-
damentals of the performing arts, including
acting, singing, dancing, stage and technical
production.
A core aspect of the districts mission and
vision for its students is that they grow up to
be problem solvers, critical thinkers, risk-tak-
ers, designers, collaborators and innovators,
said Superintendent Craig Baker. What bet-
ter way to give children these kinds of expe-
riences than through theater?
