About 100 workers at Nob Hill
Foods in Redwood Shores have
walked off the job to bring attention
to ongoing negotiations with the
company they say threaten to strip
away some of their benets.
The group has been picketing out-
side the store on Redwood Shores
Parkway since a strike was called
against the Raleys supermarket
chain and its affiliates Sunday
morning.
In total, about 1,400 workers in
the Bay Area represented by the
United Food and Commercial
Workers International Union Local

California and Nevada are partici-
pating in the strike.
Employees have taken minimal
raises the past three years, said
worker David Pinochi, and are
ghting to maintain their benets.
We stayed for the benets and
retirement and now they are trying
to take it away, said Pinochi, who
has worked at the store in Redwood

Gov. Jerry Brown took a big step
toward delivering on a campaign
promise he made two years ago to
fix the states perpetual budget
decits and to raise taxes to do it
only if voters agreed.
Brown said voters put their trust
in his plan during Tuesdays elec-
tion by approving Proposition 30,
which raises the statewide sales tax
and boosts income taxes on the
wealthy.

Residents want
boundaries for
schools to shift
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two school districts in disagree-
ment over which one rightfully
includes a nine-acre parcel once
used for a San Bruno elementary
school must once again weigh in on
the dispute as residents are request-
ing a switch.
San Bruno students attended Carl
Sandburg Elementary on Evergreen
Drive in San Bruno until it was
closed in 1978 due to declining
enrollment. In 2005, the land was
sold and, shortly after, houses were
built which brought families to the
area. While the land is located with-
in San Bruno city limits, it is also
located within the South San
Francisco Unied School District
boundary. Both San Bruno Park
Elementary and South San
Francisco Unied school districts
saw the land as being within its
boundaries. In 2010, both sides dis-
agreed on the topic so it remained
with South San Francisco.
In August, home owners from 58
of the 70 homes in the disputed area
known as the Merimont subdivi-
sion submitted a petition to
County Superintendent Anne
Campbell requesting the boundaries
be changed. Along with the fact that
the land previously housed a school

Democrats gain
supermajority
in state Senate
By Don Thompson
LOS ANGELES Democrats
gained a two-thirds majority in the
California Senate following
Tuesdays election, bringing them
close to the ability to pass tax
increases without the need for
Republican votes.
However, Democratic Gov. Jerry
Brown quickly cautioned that he
already has pledged to take any fur-
ther tax hikes to voters, as he did
with the temporary tax increases that
voters approved on Tuesday. And
Democrat leaders in both the Senate
and Assembly downplayed the idea
that they would seek to further
ratchet up tax rates.

Man sentenced for
stealing lobsters for drug habit
ALLENTOWN, Pa. A Pennsylvania
man could spend up to 25 years in prison
for stealing lobsters he planned to sell to
support his drug habit.
Authorities say 47-year-old Charles
Shumanis III repeatedly stole lobsters
and meat from Allentown-area supermar-
kets, including a botched March 1 theft
that included a parking lot car-jacking.
Police say Shumanis stole meat and
lobsters on two other occasions before he
was confronted when he walked out of
the store with $350 in lobsters.
A Lehigh County judge on Monday
recommended Shumanis serve time at a
state prison able to help him deal with his
drug and alcohol problems.
Shumanis pleaded guilty in September

Mom of Modern Family
teen star accused of abuse
LOS ANGELES The mother of
Modern Family star Ariel Winter has
temporarily lost custody of the actress
amid claims shes been physically and
emotionally abusive to the teenager, court
records show.
The allegations are contained in a
guardianship petition led last month in
Los Angeles by Winters 34-year-old sis-
ter, Shanelle. A judge ordered the 14-
year-olds mother, Chrisoula Workman,
to stay away and have no contact with her
daughter until a Nov. 20 hearing. Winters
sister, also a TV actress, was appointed as
a temporary guardian but does not have
access to Winters earnings, according to
the judges order.
Winter, who started acting in lms and
TV shows at age 7, currently plays Alex
Dunphy on the hit ABC comedy.
Winters mother was accused in the l-
ings of ongoing physical abuse
described as slapping and hitting, as well
as name-calling and personal insults.
Reached by phone, Workman said she
was in the process of hiring an attorney.
An independent attorney has been
appointed to oversee Winters interests in
the case.
Attorneys handling the guardianship
had sought to transfer control of the
young stars earnings from an account her
mother can access to a blocked account.
A judge did not grant that request, but it
may be renewed at a later date.
Winter has appeared in several TV
series, including ER and Phineas and
Ferb, and movies such as Kiss Kiss
Bang Bang, Ice Age: The Meltdown
and ParaNorman.
The ling was rst reported by celebri-
ty website TMZ.

LOS ANGELES Director John
Singleton and Paramount Pictures Corp.
have settled a lawsuit over his claim that
the studio broke an agreement to let him
produce two lms in exchange for the
rights to distribute the Oscar-nominated
movie Hustle & Flow.
Court records show the deal was
reached late Thursday in Los Angeles,
just days before a trial was scheduled to
begin.
Attorneys for Singleton and Paramount
said the settlement terms are condential,
but the matter was amicably resolved.
Singleton produced Hustle & Flow
and claimed he agreed to work with
Paramount on distribution rights because
of the opportunity to make two lms for
the studio.

Landing a job can be tough under the best of
circumstances but, for those with a criminal
mark on their resume, the road to a legitimate
paycheck is often even more challenging to
navigate.
On Thursday, San Mateo County hopes to
give the formerly incarcerated a lift by hosting
a career fair aimed specically at this popula-
tion.
One of the things we recognize is that a
person cant really succeed if they cant nd a
job and support themselves and their fami-
lies, said Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson,
who is spearheading the event with help from
the Sheriffs Ofce, Probation Department
and Human Services Agency.
The fair is a rst for San Mateo County and
Jacobs Gibson hopes it just the beginning of
connecting the formerly incarcerated with the
chance at gainful employment.
Jacobs Gibson said connecting these men
and women is a boon to both them and the
county. They get help rebuilding their lives;
the community gets help reducing crime and a
reliance on services while creating taxpayers
who grow the economy. The companies
employing the former
inmates arent left out,
either. They can receive
tax credits up to $9,000
and up to $7,500 for job
training reimbursements
through the Workforce
Investment Board.
Their success is our
success, Jacobs Gibson
said.
Roughly 25 companies
are signed up to participate in the fair, includ-
ing Recology, Target and UPS. In addition to
employers, the fair will also include unions
like the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
offering apprenticeships. Representatives
come in aware of the candidate pools past and
an openness not to let that stand in the way of
their gainful employment. Likewise, the more
than 200 job seekers already signed up know
they neednt fear past missteps will once again
keep them from moving in the right direction.
Those already recruited for the fair primari-
ly come through the countys probation
department and community-based organiza-
tions. Their convictions must be for non-vio-
lent, non-sexual and minor convictions which
mimic the requirements of low-level offenders
kept local now under state realignment.
Realignment also amplies the need to keep
these men and women from returning to incar-
ceration in an already-overcrowded jail,
Jacobs Gibson said.
Thursdays event will include resource
tables offering help with resume writing and
interview techniques and help with other hur-
dles to employment, such as community legal
services, the private defender program and
child support services.
For example, those without a job tend not to
pay child support which in turn can lead to
garnished wages when employed or the sus-
pension of a drivers license, creating yet
another impediment, Jacobs Gibson said.
This [event] is the additional piece we need
to ensure the best chance of success, she said.
The job fair is 9 a.m. to noon Thursday, Nov.
8 at the former First American Title Insurance
Co. building, 555 Marshall St., Redwood City.
Interested candidates who have not pre-regis-
tered can still attend but will need to go
through a screening process.

A 34-year-old sex offender who mastur-
bated while looking in the window of a Half
Moon Bay couple was sentenced yesterday
to 32 months in prison for indecent expo-
sure.
Gilberto Mendoza Flores is already a regis-
tered sex offender for a 2010 conviction on a
similar offense. At sentencing Wednesday,
Judge Mark Forcum declined to disregard his
previous strike and imposed the maximum
allowed under the terms of the negotiated set-
tlement. Forcum also ordered him again to
register as a sex offender for life and pay
$7,600 in restitution to one victim.
He must serve 80 percent of his sentence
before being eligible for parole.
Flores was arrested May 10 after a resident
on Amesport Landing phoned police regard-
ing a prowler who was masturbating while
looking in the victims bedroom window at
about 5:40 a.m., according to the Sheriffs
Ofce.
Several sheriffs patrol units were sent to
the area to conduct a search for the suspect
and, a short time later, two deputies located a
man hiding in the bushes.
He was told to stop and surrender but Flores
immediately ed, running through the apart-
ment complex and jumping fences, according
to the Sheriffs Ofce. Police were able to
ultimately detain him and arrest him as he hid
in a yard.

Caada College to hold community
forum with presidential candidates
By Michael R. Blood
LOS ANGELES After scalding
defeats this year from Wisconsin to
Indiana, organized labor held its ground in
California and beat back the latest attempt
to dilute union political clout.
In a sign of the stakes, labor groups and
other Democratic interests funneled at
least $75 million into their drive to defeat
Proposition 32 on Tuesdays ballot, which
would have starved unions of the tens of
millions of dollars they use to nance
campaigns and political organizing.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka
had declared California a rewall, after
Indiana became the 23rd state to pass a
law that limits unions ability to collect
fees from nonunion workers and labor
failed to recall Wisconsins governor,
Republican Scott Walker, after he signed a
law limiting collective bargaining rights
for most public workers.
At the end of the day, this election was
about a choice between two very different
visions for our nation, Trumka said in a
statement Wednesday, after the proposi-
tions defeat. One vision rewards hard
work and the people who do it, while the
other benets only those at the top and
voters got it.
The proposition was defeated by 12
percentage points, according to prelimi-
nary returns, a commanding victory that
reinforced Californias pronounced
Democratic tilt. The party also secured a
two-thirds majority in the state Senate
and President Barack Obama ran up a
nearly 21-point margin over Mitt

NEW YORK A noreaster blustered into
New York and New Jersey on Wednesday
with rain and wet snow, plunging homes right
back into darkness, stopping commuter trains
again and inicting another round of misery
on thousands of people still reeling from
Superstorm Sandys blow more than a week
ago.
Under ordinary circumstances, a storm of
this sort wouldnt be a big deal, but large
swaths of the landscape were still an open
wound, with the electrical system highly frag-
ile and many of Sandys victims still mucking
out their homes and cars and shivering in the
deepening cold.
Exactly as authorities feared, the noreast-
er brought down tree limbs and electrical
wires, and utilities in New York and New
Jersey reported that nearly 50,000 cus-
tomers who lost power because of Sandy
lost it all over again as a result of the
noreaster.
I know everyones patience is wearing
thin, said John Miksad, senior vice president
of electric operations at Consolidated Edison,
the chief utility in New York City.
As the noreaster closed in, thousands of
people in low-lying neighborhoods staggered
by the superstorm just over a week ago were
urged to clear out. Authorities warned that
rain and 60 mph gusts in the evening and
overnight could topple trees wrenched loose
by Sandy and erase some of the hard-won
progress made in restoring power to millions
of customers.
I am waiting for the locusts and pestilence
next, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said.
We may take a setback in the next 24 hours.
Ahead of the storm, public works crews in
New Jersey built up dunes to protect the
stripped and battered coast, and new evacua-
tions were ordered in a number of communi-
ties already emptied by Sandy. New shelters
opened.
In New York City, police went to low-lying
neighborhoods with loudspeakers, urging res-
idents to leave. But Mayor Michael
Bloomberg didnt issue mandatory evacua-
tions, and many people stayed behind, some
because they feared looting, others because
they gured whatever happens couldnt be
any worse than what they have gone through
already.
Were petried, said James Alexander, a
resident of the hard-hit Rockaways section of
Queens. Its like a sequel to a horror movie.
New storm bears down on East Coast
Redwood City has hired a new economic
development manager as part of its intensied
focus on enhancing the business sector.
Sean Brooks will start work in the new posi-
tion Dec. 5. The position is an offshoot of the
citys previous use of a consultant for eco-
nomic development coordination, according
to an announcement of the hiring.
Brooks has an impressive background and
has shown great leadership in working closely
with businesses and associations to create
opportunities for retail and business growth,
said City Manager Bob Bell.
Bell credits Brooks real estate and nance
experience as important to the citys use of
public-private partnerships for economic
development.
His duties will include acting as the citys
liaison for various busi-
ness groups, identifying
grant and funding oppor-
tunities and proposing
possible revisions to ordi-
nances and policies that
hinder business opera-
tions.
Brooks served as the
economic development
manager in the cities of
Hayward and Brea. He also has signicant
experience in public accounting, nance and
public/private real estate development. He is a
certied public accountant and earned a mas-
ters in business administration from the
University of California at Los Angeles.
Brooks said Redwood City is known for
forward thinking and a great deal of emerging
economic activity.
My challenge, which Im grateful to
accept, will be to build on this impressive
foundation to enhance and strengthen the eco-
nomic prospects of our business community
and our city, Brooks said.
Brooks will earn between $10,745 and
$13,641 monthly, according to the job recruit-
ment post.
Redwood City has been stepping up its
efforts to boost the citys business vitality. For
instance, in September, the city unveiled an
online economic indicators dashboard which
offers information on the citys current condi-
tions like sales tax data and the value of build-
ing permits issued. The dashboard also
includes at-a-glance information such as com-
mercial building data and links, sales tax by
business segments and districts, top sales tax
generators, top private employers and eco-
nomic news related to Redwood City.

Pot votes in two states
challenge U.S. drug war
DENVER First came marijuana as med-
icine. Now comes legal pot for the people.
Those who have argued for decades that
legalizing and taxing weed would be better
than a costly, failed U.S. drug war have their
chance to prove it, as Colorado and Washington
became the rst states to allow pot for recre-
ational use.
While the measures earned support from
broad swaths of the electorate in both states
Tuesday, they are likely to face resistance from
federal drug warriors. As of Wednesday,
authorities did not say whether they would
challenge the new laws. Pot advocates say a
ght is exactly what they want.
I think we are at a tipping point on marijua-
na policy, said Brian Vicente, co-author of
Colorados marijuana measure. We are going
to see whether marijuana prohibition survives,
or whether we should try a new and more sen-
sible approach.
Soon after the measures passed, cheering
people poured out of bars in Denver, the tangy
scent of pot lling the air, and others in Seattle
lit up in celebration.
Authorities in Colorado, however, urged cau-
tion. Federal law still says marijuana is an ille-
gal drug, so dont break out the Cheetos or
Goldsh too quickly, said Democratic Gov.
John Hickenlooper, who opposed the measure.
Gay-marriage backers
end losing streak, look ahead
NEW YORK For years, foes of same-sex
marriage had a potent talking point: Theyd
won every time the issue went to a popular
vote. That winning streak has now been shat-
tered in a multi-state electoral sweep by gay
marriage supporters a historic tipping point
likely to inuence other states and possibly
even the Supreme Court.
Its an astounding day, said Kevin Cathcart
of the gay-rights group Lambda Legal, recall-
ing that in 2004 alone the gay-marriage move-
ment went 0-13 in statewide elections and was
0-32 overall since 1998.
In Tuesdays voting, however, Maine and
Maryland became the first states ever to
approve same-sex marriage by popular vote.
Washington state seemed poised to follow suit,
although slow ballot-counting there continued
Wednesday. And in Minnesota, voters rejected
a proposal to place a ban on gay-marriage in
the state constitution, a step taken in past elec-
tions in 30 other states.

WASHINGTON One day after a
bruising, mixed-verdict election,
President Barack Obama and Republican
House Speaker John Boehner both
pledged Wednesday to seek a compro-
mise to avert looming spending cuts and
tax increases that threaten to plunge the
economy back into recession.
Added Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev.: Of course an agreement
is possible.
While all three men spoke in general
terms, Boehner stressed that Republicans
would be willing to accept higher tax
revenue under the right conditions as part
of a more sweeping attempt to reduce
decits and restore the economy to full
health.
While the impending fiscal cliff
dominates the postelection agenda, the
president and Republicans have other
concerns, too.
Obama is looking ahead to top-level
personnel changes in a second term,
involving three powerful Cabinet portfo-
lios at a minimum.
And Republicans are heading into a
season of potentially painful reection
after losing the presidency in an econo-
my that might have proved Obamas
political undoing. They also have fallen
deeper into the Senate minority after the
second election in a row in which they
lost potentially winnable races by eld-
ing candidates with views that voters evi-
dently judged too extreme.
One major topic for GOP discussion:
the changing face of America.
Weve got to deal with the issue of
immigration through good policy. What
is the right policy if we want economic
growth in America as it relates to immi-
gration? said former Republican Party
Chairman Haley Barbour. Obama drew
support from about 70 percent of all
Hispanics. That far outpaced Romney,
who said during the Republican primar-
ies that illegal immigrants should self-
deport, then spent the general election
campaign trying to move toward the
political middle on the issue.
The maneuvering on the economy
the dominant issue by far in the cam-
paign began even before Obama
returned to the White House from his
home town of Chicago.
Obama heads back to divided government
By Paul Wiseman and Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Some reward.
Heres the assignment President Barack Obama has won
with his re-election: Improve an economy burdened by high
unemployment, stagnant pay, a European nancial crisis,
slowing global growth and U.S. companies still too anxious
to expand much.
And, oh yes, an economy that risks sinking into another
recession if Congress cant reach a budget deal to avert tax
increases and deep spending cuts starting in January.
Yet the outlook isnt all grim. Signs suggest that the next
four years will coincide with a vastly healthier economy than
the previous four, which overlapped the Great Recession.
Obama has said he would help create jobs by preserving
low income tax rates for all except high-income Americans,
spending more on public works and giving targeted tax
breaks to businesses.
He used his victory speech in Chicago to stress that the
economy is recovering and promised action in the coming
months to reduce the governments budget decit, overhaul
the tax system and reform immigration laws.
We can build on the progress weve made and continue to
ght for new jobs and new opportunity and new security for
the middle class, Obama said.
The jobs picture has already been improving gradually.
Employers added a solid 171,000 jobs in October. Hiring
was also stronger in August and September than rst
thought.

WASHINGTON So just what is this s-
cal cliff that has the nancial markets rattled
and economists and policymakers alike in a
tizzy over the potential for sending the econo-
my into another tailspin?
Its a one-two punch of expiring Bush-era tax
cuts and major across-the-board spending cuts
to the Pentagon and domestic programs that
could total $800 billion next year, based on
Congressional Budget Ofce estimates.
The cliff is the punishment for previous fail-
ures of a bitterly-divided Congress and White
House to deal with the governments spiraling
debt or overhaul its unwieldy tax code.
The largest component of the cliff comes
with the expiration of tax cuts enacted in 2001
and 2003 and extended two years ago in the
wake of President Barack Obamas drubbing in
the 2010 midterm elections.
It also includes sharp spending cuts imposed
as a consequence of the failure of last years
decit-reduction supercommittee to reach
agreement. There are other elements, chiey a
2 percentage point cut in payroll taxes orches-
trated by Obama and unemployment benets
for the long-term jobless that would disappear.
Specifically, the fiscal cliff includes:
The expiration of Bush-era tax cuts on
income, investments, married couples and fam-
ilies with children and inheritances.
A $55 billion, 9 percent cut in defense
spending next year and another $55 billion in
cuts to domestic programs, including a 2 per-
cent cut to Medicare providers.
The expiration of unemployment benets
for the long-term jobless and a sharp cut in
reimbursements for doctors participating in
Medicare.
The expiration of Obamas temporary 2
percentage point cut in payroll taxes.
The imposition of the alternative minimum
tax on some 26 million households, which
would raise their taxes by an average of
$3,700.
A variety of smaller taxes cuts for both
businesses and individuals collectively known
as tax extenders in Washington-speak. They
include a tax credit for research and develop-
ment and a deduction for sales taxes in states
that dont have an income tax.

Alleged ATM robber to trial
The robbery suspect who authorities believe
stabbed himself in the abdomen twice after a
high-speed chase from
Burlingame police in
August will stand trial on
charges of felony robbery
with a knife and evading
police.
Daniel Thomas Cassidy,
24, of Burlingame, is also
charged with a felony
count of hit and run and a
misdemeanor count of
resisting arrest. He previ-
ously pleaded not guilty but was held to answer
on all counts after a preliminary hearing. He
returns to court Nov. 21 to enter a Superior
Court plea and possibly set a trial date.
Authorities say Cassidy approached a
woman at the ATM on 1145 Broadway and
ashed a large folding knife just before 9 p.m.
Aug. 28. He allegedly ordered her to withdraw
$100 three times and ed after taking the
money. A Burlingame ofcer spotted him and
pursued his vehicle until Cassidy allegedly lost
control, went around a turn and crashed into an
occupied car. Cassidy continued his ight into
Hillsborough where he again lost control and
crashed into vegetation and ivy near the
Burlingame/Hillsborough border. The ofcer
shot a Taser twice at Cassidy as he ran on foot
and, after subduing him, noticed he had cut
himself in several places with the knife, includ-
ing two stab wounds to the abdomen, prosecu-
tors said.
He remains in custody in lieu of $100,000
bail.
Workplace ambush
brings decade prison
A man accused of assaulting a friends for-
mer employer after he was terminated was sen-
tenced to 10 years in prison which will run con-
currently with any time he receives in federal
court for his alleged role in
an unrelated racketeering
sweep.
Rodrigo Alejandro
Aguayo, 34, pleaded no
contest to felony assault
and having a prior criminal
strike. He was immediately
sentenced with credit of
509 days and ordered to
register as a gang offender.
Aguayo and two others,
including the terminated
employee, were charged in
the violent confrontation at
a South San Francisco busi-
ness. Carlos Velasquez, 23,
pleaded no contest to mak-
ing felony threats and
Marcelo Jose Castro, 19,
pleaded no contest to a
felony count of discharging
a rearm in public. Both
received a year in jail.
Prosecutors say, on Feb.
25, Velasquez arrived at his
former workplace on the
400 block of North Canal
Street with the two others
to confront the manager of
the business but a group of
employees attempted to
intervene. A ght broke out
between the suspects and
the employees and Castro
allegedly red several shots from a handgun.
Aguayo reportedly hit one of the employees
with a baseball bat before the three defendants
ed.
Police found Velasquez at his house and
Aguayo returning home in a vehicle seen leav-
ing the scene. Details of Castros apprehension
were not available.

LOS ANGELES California State
University will start cutting checks to students
to refund a tuition increase now that voters
have approved new tax measures to fund pub-
lic education.
At CSU and other public schools, colleges
and universities across the state, educators are
rolling up contingency plans they had pre-
pared in the event Proposition 30, which
called for tax hikes to stave off $6 billion in
education cuts, failed.
Gov. Jerrys Browns measure, which will
raise income taxes on wealthy residents for the
next seven years and hike the sales tax by a
quarter-cent over the next four years, passed
Tuesday 54 percent to 46 percent. The tax
boosts will raise an estimated $8.5 billion for
education.
Educators are overjoyed, said Joshua
Pechthalt, president of the California
Federation of Teachers.
Cal State and the University of California
were slated to lose $250 million each this year.
The states 112 community colleges stood to
lose a total of $338 million. K-12 schools
were looking at more than $5 billion in cuts.
Education ofcials at all levels now say they
can now stop looking at worst-case scenarios
and concentrate on rebuilding some of the pro-
grams that have been cut over the past ve
years.
These funds from Proposition 30 will bet-
ter equip us to provide a quality education to
all Los Angeles Unied School District youth
over the next several years and begin the road
back to scal recovery, said John Deasy,
superintendent of the states largest school
district, in a statement.
Like many K-12 districts across the state,
Los Angeles Unied had considered ending
the school year weeks early, possibly in April,
if Proposition 30 went down. Instead, admin-
istrators will now look at restoring programs
and staff positions that were previously cut,
Deasy said.
Even the state Legislature had given dis-
tricts wiggle room in case the proposition
failed lawmakers chopped 20 days off the
state-mandated minimum of 180 school days
for this academic year and next.
Cal State, which serves about 425,000 stu-
dents at 23 campuses, was already implement-
ing its worst-case scenario. It had boosted
tuition by $249 starting with this fall semester
and announced that it was withholding appli-
cations for fall 2013 because it might have had
to shrink enrollment if the measure failed.

rebuilding with new funds
A southbound Caltrain struck a car that had
accidentally turned onto the tracks at Maple
Street in Redwood City, injuring no one but
causing closures and major delays during the
evening commute, according to Caltrain of-
cials.
At about 6 p.m., the train struck the car
though a woman and a child were no longer
inside. Initially, both tracks in the area were
closed, according to Caltrain ofcials.
About 6:45 p.m., the northbound train tracks
were opened and north- and southbound trains
were able to operate slowly. A tow truck
removed the car from the tracks and the south-
bound train tracks were opened about 7:30
p.m., according to Caltrain ofcials.
Train hits car, no injuries
OPINION 9
Higher taxes, less choice
Editor,
What I learned from Tuesdays elec-
tion: First, nationally, our country is as
divided as it ever has been. If you look
at the popular vote for president you can
see the division is nearly split right
down the middle. The Electoral College
process needs to change. Im not just
saying that because my candidate lost,
but I think it is better that every voter in
our country has a say in who our presi-
dent should be. The time when national
politicians and campaigns focus only on
a few swing states like Ohio needs to
stop. No matter what party you are afl-
iated with, you have to admit that nei-
ther candidate focused on California
voters or our issues.
Second, regarding state elections, my
thoughts that unions run state govern-
ment has been conrmed. The outrage
of $11 million coming into the state
opposing propositions 30 and 32 was all
our politicians whined about while noth-
ing was mentioned about the $75 mil-
lion public unions spent. For those peo-
ple who want to limit wealthy donors
and corporations from unlimited contri-
butions, dont you also want to limit
public unions contributions on issues
that directly benet their own interests?
Finally, locally, I now live in a city
with the highest sales tax rate in the
state and I can only vote for one of my
supervisors in county elections. Higher
taxes with less of a choice are what I got
from this election.
My sympathies to local retailers of
large-ticket items such as automobiles as
Im sure many folks will now be going
out of the city and possibly the state to
purchase these things. In this election,
we have rewarded incompetence, raised
taxes and guaranteed that the status quo
is the way forward. We should all be so
proud of ourselves.

Faulty election process
Editor,
The presidential election exposed the
aws in our current election process
using the Electoral College.
With todays high-speed communica-
tion and improved polling process, it
became apparent months before the
election that there were only a few states
in play. The focus of the campaign
became those battleground states. It took
a hurricane to get the president to visit
New Jersey and New York, which had
already been conceded to him. The only
reason either candidate visited
California was to pick up campaign
donations from their well-heeled sup-
porters.
It is time we look at alternatives. Even
if we are not ready to abandon the
Electoral College and move to a national
popular vote, we should at least consider
moving away from the winner-take-all
situation that currently exists in each
state. If each candidate received the
same proportion of electoral votes that
they received in the popular vote then all
states would be in play. Now it would
matter whether the winner won by a 70
percent to 30 percent margin or a 52
percent to 48 percent margin.

B
arack Obama has crowned his
re-election with a victory
speech that embodied all his
old, inspirational rhetoric. We are an
American family and we rise and fall
together, he declared. Yet the invoca-
tion of a nation united despite its differ-
ences is at odds with the bitterness of
the campaign and the closeness of the
outcome.
This vote was an afrmation of U.S.
democracy.
Obama in his victory speech remind-
ed us that this election was all about the
power of citizens to bring about
change. Its easy to forget that politics
is about big things. The campaign was
often negative but the parties did
address, head on, very important issues
about the role of the state and the way
government should respond to econom-
ic challenges. Defeat for the
Republicans on such fundamental
issues does not bode well for the party:
there is likely to be erce debate now
about where it goes next.
The one dispiriting aspect of this
election was the cost. It was the most
expensive in history, at around $2.5?bil-
lion.
But a great thing about any U.S. elec-
tion is that it reawakens our own demo-
cratic instincts. The razzmatazz that
Americans bring to the campaigns may
be different from our approach but it is
still infectious. A presidential election
is a great democratic event for them
and for us.
The U.S. presidential election
Idiot? Proof!
N
eed proof the global village has more than its
fair share of contenders for idiot? Nothing is
clearer than an actual sign.
Case in point, the Cleveland woman caught on film
driving onto a sidewalk to bypass a stopped school bus
filled with children
because she didnt want to
wait for it to load and
unload. A judge (with the
incredibly fun name of
Pinkey, by the way)
ordered her to stand at the
intersection for two morn-
ings with a sign that says
Only an idiot drives on
the sidewalk to avoid a
school bus.
Truer words were never
said, let alone scrawled in
capital letters across a
poster board in black
marker.
Shaming as punishment always draws a mixed reaction.
Some think its childish and does nothing but send a poor
message to others about the acceptance of bullying.
Others, like yours truly, think a little public humiliation
and embarrassment often hammers home a message to the
offender a lot better than a few days in the pokey and a
nominal fine.
Even when the shaming falls short of criminal, the pun-
ishment can be effective as illustrated by the increasing
use of social media by parents to rein in their children.
One couple that made recent news posted silly and embar-
rassing photos of themselves on their daughters Facebook
wall via her cellphone. Her crime, according to her broth-
er, was being fresh with the parents. The mortified teen
undoubtedly wanted to melt into the ground and figured
she would never survive; the lingering unknown is if the
discipline will actually change her attitude.
The same goes, frankly, with that impatient Cleveland
driver. Maybe shell go right back to her old, reckless
habits. But hey why not try? In fact, why not try using
idiot signs to curb other nonsensical behavior?
Lets start with the Election Night pundits who
bemoaned the new white establishment minority. Its not
a traditional America anymore, Bill OReilly said.
What his sign would say is Only an idiot thinks the
historical status quo is the best political tradition. A big-
ger idiot laments so publicly.
The growing number of Republican leaders who tackle
post-abortion rape also need signs because they obviously
cant read the proverbial ones that came before them. U.S.
Rep. Todd Akin was bad enough with his legitimate
rape explanation. But Republican Indiana state treasurer
and Senate hopeful Richard Mourdock could have at least
learned something from that debacle before commenting
that pregnancies due to rape were intended by God.
His sign? Only an idiot fails to learn from history.
Speaking of the election, lets not forget the groups and
individuals that reportedly tried to dissuade or stifle vot-
ers by telling elderly residents they could vote by phone
or demanding photo identification at the polls. Sign:
Only an idiot thinks voter tampering is acceptable.
Similarly, signs that say Only an idiot responds to a
natural disaster with looting are unfortunately way too
much in need back East.
A personal favorite would be a sign emblazoned with
Only an idiot tries robbing people who cant understand
the demands for money. The bearers of this sage advice
if they are ever apprehended would be three masked
people in Florida who allegedly tried robbing a local
Chinese restaurant but left penniless because the
Cantonese-speaking workers couldnt comprehend the
English-speaking crooks. Perhaps sometimes it is good to
not have learned English as a second language.
The list goes on and on. But for every Cleveland driver
or chagrined teen, there are dozens of deserving folks
whose misdeeds fly under the radar. Perhaps more judges
will take a cue from Pinkey or parents will be inspired
to think outside the box when it comes to whipping socie-
ty back into shape. Not every misstep or slip of the
tongue is malicious; by far, the majority of head-shaking
incidents are motivated by, well, idiocy than criminality.
For them, the question is whether a little shaming is in
order. So far, all signs point to yes.

A
fter billions of dollars in cam-
paign ads and rallies across
the nation, the voters of the
United States chose to reinstall the
same president and congressional lead-
ership that had presided over two frac-
tious and difcult years. For Barack
Obama, who had to face an electorate
bruised by a slow-recovering economy,
re-election is a personal triumph, a
show of faith in his leadership under
conditions that would have defeated
many incumbent presidents.
But this was a status quo election in
result only. With both presidential can-
didates and many victorious congres-
sional candidates expressing a desire
for bipartisan solutions, the message
from the ballot box was clear: Obama
and Congress need to work together,
immediately, to avoid the upcoming
scal cliff involving the expiration of
the Bush tax cuts and automatic spend-
ing cuts to defense and other important
programs.
The president should draw strength
from his victory. But he knows his
work, and that of Congress, must begin
immediately. His second-term agenda
cant wait until the beginning of his
second term.

Wall Street greeted a second Obama
term the way it greeted the first.
Investors dumped stocks Wednesday
in the sharpest sell-off of the year. With
the election only hours behind them,
they focused on big problems ahead in
Washington and across the Atlantic
Ocean.
Frantic selling recalled the days after
Obamas first victory, as the financial
crisis raged and stocks spiraled down-
ward.
Four years later, American voters
returned a divided government to
power and left investors fretting about
a package of tax increases and govern-
ment spending cuts that could stall the
economic recovery unless Congress
acts to stop it by Jan. 1.
In Europe, leaders warned that unem-
ployment could remain high for years,
and cut their forecasts for economic
growth for this year and 2013. The
head of the European Central Bank
said not even powerhouse Germany is
immune.
The Dow Jones industrial average
plummeted as much as 369 points, or
2.8 percent, in the first two hours of
trading. It recovered steadily in the
afternoon, but slid into the close and
ended down 313, its biggest point drop
since this time last year.
It does look ugly, said Robert
Pavlik, chief market strategist at
Banyan Partners LLC. He said it was
hard to untangle the impact of Europe-
related selling from nerves about the
nations fiscal uncertainty.
Its a combination of all that, quite
honestly, Pavlik said.
It was the worst day for stocks this
year, but not the worst after an election.
That distinction belongs to 2008, when
Barack Obama was elected at the
depths of the financial crisis. The Dow
fell 486 points the next day.
This time, energy companies and
bank stocks took some of the biggest
losses. Both industries would have
faced lighter, less costly regulation if
Mitt Romney had won the election.
Stocks seen as benefiting from
Obamas decisive re-election rose.
They included hospitals, suddenly free
of the threat that Romney would roll
back Obamas health care law.
Obama was elected Nov. 4, 2008.
The Dow plunged more than 400
points on each of the next two trading
days.
The blue-chip average hit bottom at
6,547 in March 2009, less than two
months after Obama took office.

Big movers
By Tom Murphy
INDIANAPOLIS WellPoint Inc.s
third-quarter earnings trumped Wall
Street expectations but the health insur-
ers stock sank Wednesday, a day after
President Barack Obamas re-election
helped secure the future of his health care
overhaul.
The overhaul aims to cover millions of
uninsured people starting mostly in
2014, which means more business for
insurers. But the fees and restrictions it
imposes on the sector are expected to
squeeze prots, especially for companies
like WellPoint that focus a large portion
of business on covering individuals and
employees of small companies.
Shares of WellPoint and other major
health insurers fell at a steeper clip than
the 2 percent decline of the Standard &
Poors 500 index in Wednesday after-
noon trading.
Citi analyst Carl McDonald said in a
research note WellPoints results would
be viewed quite favorably without the
elections impact.
Theres been an undercurrent of con-
cern among many regarding the potential
for bad news out of WellPoints third
quarter earnings, but the trepidation was-
nt warranted, McDonald wrote, noting
that the insurer easily beat expectations.
WellPoint reported net income of
$691.2 million, or $2.15 per share, in the
three months that ended Sept. 30. Thats
up 1 percent from $683.2 million, or
$1.90 per share, a year ago.
WellPoint 3Q profit up, stock down after election
Apple shares drop 20 percent from peak
NEW YORK Apples stock fell Wednesday along
with a sell-off in the broader market.
The stock of the worlds most valuable company has now
fallen more than 20 percent from its all-time high of
$705.07, hit on Sept. 21. That was the day the latest iPhone
went on sale.
The sell-off comes as Apple readies other new products
for sale, including the iPad Mini. The Cupertino, Calif.,
company warned late last month that the costs of making
new gadgets would cut into prot in its holiday quarter.
Apple Inc. still has the worlds heftiest market capital-
ization at $548 billion. Oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. is
next, at nearly $418 billion.
Apple shares fell 3.8 percent to close at $558
Wednesday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index fell
2.5 percent.

People look at iPad minis during the launch of the iPad mini and iPad with Retina display
Wi-Fi models in Los Angeles.
By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK I bet the iPad Mini is going
to be on a lot of wish lists this holiday season.
I also bet that for a lot of people, its not going
to be the best choice. Its beautiful and light, but
Apple made a big compromise in the design,
one that means that buyers should look closely
at the competition before deciding.
Starting at $329, the iPad Mini is the cheap-
est iPad. The screen is a third smaller than the
regular iPads, and it sits in an exquisitely
machined aluminum body. It weighs just 11
ounces half as much as a full-size iPad
making it easier to hold in one hand. Its just
under 8 inches long and less than a third of an
inch thick, so it ts easily into a handbag.
The issue is the screen quality. Apple has
been on the forefront of a move toward sharper,
more colorful screens. It calls them Retina
displays because the pixels the little light-
emitting squares that make up the screen are
so small that they blend together almost seam-
lessly in our eyes, removing the impression that
were watching a grid of discrete elements.
The iPad Mini doesnt have a Retina screen.
By the standards of last year, its a good screen,
with the same number of pixels as the rst iPad
and the iPad 2. The latest full-size iPad has four
times as many pixels, and it really shows. By
comparison, the iPad Minis screen looks
coarse. It looks dull, too, because it doesnt
have the same color-boosting technology that
the full-size model has.
This is not an entirely fair comparison, as the
full-size iPad starts at $499 and weighs twice as
much. The real issue is that this year, there are
other tablets that are cheaper than the iPad
Mini, weigh only slightly more and still have
better screens.
Amazon.com Inc.s Kindle Fire HD costs
$199 and has about the same overall size as the
Mini. While the Kindles screen is somewhat
smaller (leaving a bigger frame around the
edges), it is also sharper, with 30 percent more
pixels than the Mini. Colors are slightly
brighter, too.
Barnes & Noble Inc.s Nook HD costs $229
and has a screen thats even sharper than the
Kindle HDs. Its got 65 percent more pixels
than the iPad Mini.
Why do tablets from two companies chiey
known as book stores beat Apples latest for
screen quality?
Sharper screens are darker, requiring a more
powerful backlight to appear bright. That, in
turn, would have forced an increase in the bat-
tery size. Thats the reason the rst iPad with a
Retina display was thicker and heavier than the
iPad 2. So to keep the iPad Mini thin while
matching the 10-hour battery life of the bigger
iPads, Apple had to compromise on the display.
This cant last, though. By next year, it will
likely be even more obvious that Apple is seri-
ously behind in screen quality on its small
tablet, and it will have to upgrade to a Retina
display somehow. That means this rst-genera-
tion iPad Mini will look old pretty fast.
The display causes a few other problems, too.
One is that when you run iPhone apps on the
Mini, it uses the coarsest version of the graph-
ics for that app the version designed for
iPhones up to the 2009 model, the 3GS. You
can blow the app up to ll more of the screen,
but it looks pretty ugly. The full-size iPad uses
the higher-quality Retina graphics when run-
ning iPhone apps, and it looks much better.
Some apps adapted for the iPad screen dont
display that well on the Mini screen, either,
because of the smaller size. Buttons can be too
small to hit accurately, bringing to mind Steve
Jobs 2010 comments about smaller tablets.
The late Apple founder was of the vociferous
opinion that the regular iPad was the smallest
size that was also friendly to use.
In some apps, text on the Mini is too small to
be comfortably read the section fronts in
The New York Times and The Wall Street
Journal apps are examples of this.
The iPad Mini charms,
but screen is a letdown
BEIRUT Britain called on the U.S. and
other allies Wednesday to do more to shape the
Syrian opposition into a coherent force, saying
the re-election of President Barack Obama is an
opportunity for the world to take stronger
action to end the deadlocked civil war.
Also Wednesday, Turkey said NATO mem-
bers including the United States have dis-
cussed using Patriot missiles along the Syrian
border. It was unclear whether the purpose was
to protect a safe zone inside Syria or to protect
Turkey from Syrian regime attacks.
The announcements come as U.S.
allies appear to be anticipating a new,
bolder approach from Obama now that
he has won a second term.
With the re-election of Obama, what you
have is a strong condence on the British side
that the U.S. administration will be engaged
more on Syria from the get-go, said Shashank
Joshi, an analyst at Londons Royal United
Services Institute, a security think tank.
It remains to be seen, however, if the U.S.
plans to change course in any signicant way.
Syrias civil war, which activists estimate has
killed more than 36,000 people since March
2011, has been the most deadly and prolonged
conict of the Arab Spring. World powers have
shown no appetite for foreign military interven-
tion, and there are fears that arming the frac-
tious opposition could backre, with powerful
weapons falling into the hands of extremists.

Wins have been hard to come by
for the Notre Dame-Belmont vol-
leyball team the last month or so.
The Tigers went only 2-8 in their
last 10 games and went winless in
league play this year.
And yet Notre Dame qualied for
the Central Coast Section playoffs
and in the rst round of the Division
IV tournament Wednesday night,
the sixth-seeded Tigers showed they
belonged as they cruised to a 25-10,
25-18, 25-18 win over No. 12
Kings Academy.
My starters were a little tight
tonight, said Notre Dame coach
Jennifer Agresti. As much as peo-
ple say, Oh, youre favored (over
Kings Academy), we still have to
build our condence a little bit.
With the win, the Tigers move
into the Division IV quarternals
where they will face No. 2 Menlo
School 7 p.m. Saturday at Menlo.
Its easy to understand how the
Tigers may be lacking in the con-
dence department. They went 0-7 in
the West Catholic Athletic League,
which is arguably the toughest vol-
leyball league in Northern
California, if not the state. Four of
the Tigers seven losses
Presentation, Sacred Heart
Cathedral, St. Ignatius and St.
Francis all advanced to CCS
nals last year with St. Francis and
Sacred Heart Cathedral each win-
ning CCS titles. Presentation, which
lost to St. Francis in the champi-
onship match, went on to win the
Division IV state championship in
2011.
And lets not forget Mitty, a
perennial CCS contender, which is
31-0 this season and ranked No. 2 in
the nation by MaxPreps.com.
To run that gauntlet would give
any team a crisis of condence.

R
ick Velasquez, coach of the Caada
College womens golf team, knew at
the beginning of the season he had
some talented players.
I thought, maybe, a few of them would
shoot 75, 76 (season averages) and a couple
more in the low 80s, Velasquez said.
The Colts exceeded even Velasquezs
expectations. Sarah
Rotter, Mehreen
Raheel, Annika
Nousiainen and
Shannon Wong all
averaged scores in
the mid-70s this
season. That quar-
tet helped lead the
Colts to not only
the Central Valley
Conference title,
but also to the
Northern
California champi-
onship at the Bing
Maloney Golf Complex in Sacramento.
Caada red a two-day total of 608 to easily
out-distance second-place nisher San
Joaquin Delta, which nished with a 650.
Winning the Nor Cal tournament qualied
the Colts for the state tournament Monday
and Tuesday next week for the rst time in
team history. Velasquez has taken individuals
to the state tournament in the past. This is the
rst time the entire team qualied.
Were red up. Were ready, Velasquez
said. Its so much better (to have the entire
team qualify). Ive done this before, taking
[players] to Southern California (for the state
tournament). Its fun, but its not the same as
taking the team. To go down to Southern
California and to take the whole team is pret-
ty exciting.
The Colts arent just going down to
Temecula to make an appearance, however.
They have a legitimate shot of winning the

SANTA CLARA Frank Gore looks at his
three 100-yard rushing performances, four
touchdowns and overall stellar output in the
seasons rst half and is quick to praise an
unheralded offensive line that plays such an
integral part in helping him do it.
Helping San Franciscos entire offense
shine, too. These big boys block all over the
eld, every which way even if it means tak-
ing on a speedy, more athletic defensive back.
Its fun because they look at you like
youre not supposed to be down there, right
tackle Anthony Davis said Wednesday. Were
a lot bigger than them.
Gore appreciates every athletic block, every
hustle play.
The three-time Pro Bowl running back
insists he has never had such huge holes ahead
of him to run, and that is the ultimate compli-
ment to the 49ers talented, much-improved
O-line. Gore is now gearing up for a strong
stretch the rest of the way with the NFC West-
leading Niners (6-2), as
long as these guys keep
doing the dirty work ahead
of him to keep things
clicking toward another
playoff berth.
Gore has run for 656
yards on 119 carries, aver-
aging a career-best 5.5
yards topping his 5.4
average in 2006.
My O-linemen are doing a (heckuva) job
of springing me and giving me big lanes that
Ive never seen before, Gore said. So I have
to give it to them, and to the receivers block-
ing down eld.
While Gore has only played alongside two
Pro Bowl linemen during his eight NFL sea-
sons with San Francisco Larry Allen in
2006 and left tackle Joe Staley last season
recognition hardly means much to this tight-
knit unit that truly enjoys going to work
together each day during the grind of a 16-
game season.

OAKLAND David Lee played through
an illness to nish with 22 points, 14 rebounds
and six assists, and the Golden State Warriors
outlasted the undermanned Cleveland
Cavaliers 106-96 on Wednesday night.
Stephen Curry scored 21
points to go with six
assists, and reserve Carl
Landry added 19 points
and nine rebounds to help
the Warriors take a 17-
point lead in the second
quarter, go down a basket
in the third and cruise to
victory in the fourth.
Kyrie Irving had 28
points and seven assists,
and Daniel Gibson chipped in 12 points for
the Cavaliers, who played without two of their
top big men. First-round pick Tyler Zeller was
sent back to Cleveland for further concussion
tests and Anderson Varejao sat out with sore-
ness in his bruised right knee.
The Warriors improved to 3-2, a winning
record that doesnt mean much to most NBA
teams. For fervent and often frustrated
fans in the basketball-booming Bay Area,
though, the small sample size is enough to
provide a glimmer of hope for a franchise that
has missed the playoffs 17 of the last 18 sea-
sons.
With Cleveland (2-3) depleted on the inside,
the Warriors wasted no time turning the game
into a rout. They just struggled, at rst, to keep
Cleveland at a distance.
The Cavs collapsed on the inside and
allowed Golden States shooters to roam free.
Curry and Klay Thompson made a urry of
jumpers to give the Warriors a 37-21 lead after
the rst quarter.
Curry alone scored 15 in the period to help
Golden State pile up more points than it had in
any quarter in the previous four games this
season. The Warriors went ahead by 17 early
in the second quarter.
The Cavs surged back in a hurry, closing
within ve later in the second during a spurt
highlighted by an over-the-backboard alley-
oop from Gibson to Tristan Thompson that
even stirred the home fans. In the third quar-
ter, Alonzo Gee started a three-point play with
a driving layup over Harrison Barnes, and
Dion Waiters followed with a long jumper to
Warriors outlast Cavs

ALAMEDA Carson Palmer
could be in for another busy day for
the Oakland Raiders.
With top two running backs
Darren McFadden and Mike
Goodson slowed this week by
sprained right ankles, the Raiders
may need to rely on their passing
game when they visit the Baltimore
Ravens.
Palmer threw the ball 61 times
last week against Tampa Bay as the
Raiders (3-5) were forced to play
catch-up in the second half after los-
ing McFadden and Goodson to the
injuries. Neither back practiced
Wednesday and their status remains
in doubt for Sundays game against
the Ravens (6-2).
Weve got a plan in place if
either or both of those guys are not
able to play, coach Dennis Allen
said.
That likely will involve lots of
passing with no other proven half-
back on the roster. Palmer set a
career high in attempts in last
weeks 42-32 loss to Tampa Bay,
completing 39
passes for 414
yards, four
touchdowns and
three intercep-
tions.
W i t h
McFadden out
for the entire
second half,
Goodson getting
hurt in the fourth quarter and
Oakland falling behind by 18
points, the Raiders ran the ball just
three times in the second half
their fewest in eight years.
You got to adjust to what your
health is of your team, but you know
its a team thats had some yards
rushing on them, especially the last
couple of weeks, Palmer said. Its
very odd. I have never seen that
before in my career. So, there are
some things we want to take advan-
tage of in the run game.
But you cant be one-dimension-
al at the same time, too, and throw it
and throw it. Weve got to gure out
a way to get Darren back as quickly
as possible and maybe have a select-
ed or limited game plan for him or
Marcel (Reece) or whoever is going
to be back there.
Palmer is quite familiar with the
Ravens, having spent the rst eight
seasons of his career in the AFC
North with Cincinnati. Palmers
nine regular season wins as a starter
against Baltimore are the most of
any quarterback.
He has completed 61 percent of
his passes for 3,202 yards, 15 touch-
downs, 11 interceptions and an 84.5
passer rating in those games.
Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs
said Palmer looks as good as he did
with the Bengals and when the two
faced off in college when Suggs was
at Arizona State and Palmer starred
at Southern California.
I dont fear any quarterbacks, but
Im always worried when I play
Carson Palmer, Suggs said. Me
and him come from the same draft
class, 2003. This guy has kind of
tortured me through all my college
and professional career. Im very
aware of the talent. I know he can
make every throw. If you ask me,
hes very highly underrated. Hes
denitely one of the premier quar-
terbacks in the league.
He will likely need to be that way
Sunday with Oaklands running
game in the situation it is.
The Raiders chose not to sign
another running back this week and
will likely go with little-used third-
stringer Taiwan Jones or fullback
Marcel Reece if McFadden and
Goodson cant play. They also could
activate Jeremy Stewart from the
practice squad.
Its really a next-man-up philos-
ophy and were going to have to
count on some guys to step up
potentially and ll a bigger role,
Allen said. Well know more at the
end of the week exactly what weve
got to do.
Jones, a speedster drafted in the
fourth round in 2011, has been
slowed by hamstring, knee and rib
injuries during his brief career. He
has just 17 carries for 75 yards and
three receptions for 29 yards.
He has played just seven snaps on
offense all season with one run for 2
yards and he also caught a 4-yard
pass on a fake punt.
Since Ive been here Ive waited
for him to get his opportunity and it
hasnt worked out and here it is,
Palmer said. Hell get his touches
and I cant wait. I mean, hes so
electrifying. He puts his foot in the
ground and goes. He wiggles out of
hits, he wiggles out of tackles. Cant
wait to throw him the ball, get him
in the open eld. Hes so much fun
to watch at practice its, like I said,
a long time coming.
Reece, a converted receiver who
excels in the passing game, had his
most productive game last week
with eight catches for 95 yards and
a touchdown. He has 48 career car-
ries for 234 yards and could get time
as a single back on Sunday.
I feel comfortable doing any-
thing in this offense, he said.
Theyve prepared me a long time
ago to do anything in this offense
and Im prepared to do it. Whatever
happens on Sunday, whatever they
ask me to do Im going to go do it.
NOTES: DT Desmond Bryant
was a full participant in practice
after spending Sunday night in the
hospital with an irregular heartbeat.
... RT Khalif Barnes returned from a
groin injury that has sidelined him
since week two and Allen said he
would know later this week whether
hed be able to play Sunday. ... DT
Richard Seymour (knee, hamstring)
and CB Shawntae Spencer also
missed practice.

Dodgers hire Mark McGwire
as their new hitting coach
LOS ANGELES Mark
McGwire is coming home as hitting
coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers,
lured by the chance to spend more
time with his wife and ve young
children.
He was hired Wednesday to
replace Dave
Hansen and
improve an
offense that
struggled last
season when All-
Star slugger Matt
Kemp was hob-
bled by injuries.
The Dodgers
were 13th in the
National League in runs scored and
RBIs and 15th in home runs.
Its the rst time in my baseball
career I have an opportunity to live at
home and work at home, McGwire
said on a teleconference. To do what
I love, still be in the game of baseball
and to be at home, it just t perfect-
ly.
McGwire spent the past three sea-
sons in the same job with the St.
Louis Cardinals, where he starred
during parts of his 16-year major
league career. During McGwires
tenure, the Cardinals led the National
League in batting average (.269) and
on-base percentage (.337), ranked
second in runs (2,263) and fourth in
slugging percentage (.416).
He worked with All-Star sluggers
Carlos Beltran, Lance Berkman, Matt
Holliday and Albert Pujols, while
helping develop 2011World Series
MVP David Freese.
But as much as he enjoyed the job
and the teams success, McGwire
said last season was probably one of
the hardest on me family-wise.
His two sons, ages 9 and 10, have
started playing Little League, and he
and his wife, Stephanie, have 2-year-
old triplet daughters. McGwire also
has a 25-year-old son from a previous
marriage. The couple lives in Orange
County.
Being away from the girls, it took
a little bit for them to realize Daddy
was back a couple weeks ago, he
said, adding that he wasnt certain he
would have returned to St. Louis if
the Dodgers hadnt pursued him.

By Janie McCauley
STANFORD Tara VanDerveer
plans to reach out to every one of her
Pac-12 coaching colleagues soon to
let them know shes rooting for a
strong nonconference showing by
all.
The Stanford coach is cheering for
continued strides in West Coast
womens basketball, knowing full
well these teams still lag behind on
the national stage largely just based
on the region where they play. And,
because theyre always left ghting
to prove they belong with the coun-
trys powerhouse programs once
NCAA tournament time rolls around
each March.
Were an afterthought. Theyre
sleeping while were playing,
VanDerveer said. But we know we
have great teams and players.
Across San Francisco Bay in
Berkeley, Lindsay Gottlieb is all for
her California players celebrating
their preseason No. 13 ranking, then
going out and backing it up, of
course.
Stanford and Cal are picked to go
1-2 in the Pac-12 this season, and
both coaches at very different
stages of their respective careers
know the roles their programs con-
tinue to play in
boosting the
sports prole on
the Left Coast.
Stanford has
reached five
straight Final
Fours yet failed
to bring home a
championship.
To go to ve
Final Fours is an
incredible accomplishment, and I
think only three programs have done
that. When you get that close there is
a sense of, Wow, were here, lets
get it, VanDerveer said. There is a
disappointment not to have won in
those ve times that weve been, but
I wont take anything away from
those teams. I would be happy to go
again.
When Stanford opens the season
Friday night at Maples Pavilion, the
fourth-ranked Cardinal will put their
79-game home winning streak
best current unbeaten home run in
the nation on the line against
reigning WAC champion Fresno
State. The Bulldogs, beginning their
rst season in the Mountain West
Conference, have reached five
straight NCAA tournaments.
For now, VanDerveer is going to
give plenty of players a look and a
chance to nd a spot in the rotation.
Cal will host Lehigh on Friday at
Haas Pavilion. The Bears have long
been thought of as the Bay Areas
other womens program behind
perennial power Stanford despite
their own successful history. The
Golden Bears get it, too, knowing
what it will take to keep their
schools name in the national spot-
light: staying on top and challenging
the rival Cardinal for the Pac-12
title.
Gottlieb begins her second season
in Berkeley working to build a top-
notch program, and not just for a
year or two.
Any coach knows preseason
rankings mean nothing in terms of
what you want to accomplish in the
year ahead, but I do think theres
something signicant in the ght to
become relevant in womens basket-
ball, Gottlieb said. We have said
one of our goals coming in when I
took the job was we want to make
Cal a place on the West Coast where
the best students and athletes can
say, I can have it all at Cal. Were
doing it.
Stanford, ranked fourth to start the
season, is appreciative of a push in
conference play especially from
its Bay Area rival.
Always up for the challenge,
Stanford star
C h i n e y
Ogwumike said.
More West
Coast the bet-
ter!
Cal sopho-
more guard
Brittany Boyd
and a trio of
determined sen-
iors Talia
Caldwell, Eliza Pierre and Layshia
Clarendon and all the others are
right behind her. Theyre all back
from a team that bought into
Gottliebs system in a hurry a year
ago and now has bigger plans, like
deep NCAA tournament runs in
March, Final Fours, and, eventually,
a championship.
Last year we werent even
ranked, so its a blessing to be rec-
ognized, Boyd said. But just
knowing it could be taken away at
any time, it could drop, it could go
up. Its like: What are you going to
do with it? Are you going to win that
big game against Duke or are you
going to give away a game you
should win? We have to hold onto
that, be grateful and know theres
still a lot of work to do.
Cal nished 25-10 last season and
lost 73-62 to Notre Dame in the sec-
ond round of the NCAA tournament,
hurt by 19 turnovers, 12 in the sec-
ond half. Gottlieb can point to those
miscues as a way of teaching now.
She gave her players a list of
things Cal must strive to improve: 3-
point shooting and defending the 3,
turnover margin, defensive eld goal
percentage. The coach now has the
exibility to use a variety of lineups
and go big or small considering
Cals depth at nearly every position.
She is counting on every one of her
players taking her game up a notch.
Cal has had great teams,
VanDerveer said. Right now were
rooting for them to do well. Were
rooting for USC to do well. That
reminds me, I want to get an email
or a text out to all of the coaches,
Lets go Pac-12. Were excited
when theyre playing these teams
and we want them to win.
Everybody else in the conference
expects to chase the two Bay Area
teams at the top with both schools
set to embark on another challenging
preseason schedule to put the con-
ference on the map.
This is the first year where
Stanford is going to have to look
over their shoulder, Southern
California coach Michael Cooper
said. There are some teams on the
rise.
Stanford, Cal women gear up for big seasons

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The numbers
say Tom Brady is having another outstanding
season.
Sixth in passer rating.
Tied for fth in touchdown passes.
Third in yards.
And rst in fewest interceptions per
attempt.
The New England quarterback has also
completed more than 60 percent of his passes
in each of the rst eight games for the rst
time. But the Patriots are just 5-3 and hes a
key contributor to some of those losses and
very nearly a fourth.
Toms always trying to get better and is
always working hard at it, offensive coordi-
nator Josh McDaniels said. There are cer-
tainly things that he can do
better than what weve
done in the rst portion of
the season. I know hell
work hard at trying to
maximize his perform-
ance.
The 13-year veteran is
coming off his best game
of the year with four
touchdown passes in a 45-
7 win over the St. Louis Rams. But the two
games before that were some of his worst of
the season.
Brady threw two interceptions, one into the
end zone, and was called twice for intentional
grounding in a 24-23 loss in Seattle. Then he
couldnt get the Patriots out of their own terri-
tory on two consecutive drives after they took
a 23-13 lead over the Jets late in the third
quarter. That helped New York rally and go
ahead 26-23 before Brady did enough to set
up two eld goals for a 29-26 win in overtime.
Those last couple of drives, we moved the
ball better, he said after that game. I would-
nt say they were great drives, but they were
good enough.
He was much better a week later against the
Rams, one of the NFLs weaker teams. Now,
after a bye week, hes preparing for Sundays
game with the slumping Buffalo Bills (3-5), a
team the Patriots already have beaten 52-28.
I think everybody clicked, Brady said. I
think the defense clicked. I think the special
teams clicked.
The Patriots usually do that against the
Bills.
New England is 15-1 in the last 16
matchups vs. Buffalo, losing only last season,
34-31, after leading 21-0 late in the second
quarter. That was the only time Buffalo defen-
sive tackle Kyle Williams won in nine at-bats
against Brady.
Hes the best Ive ever played (against),
Williams said. I think its just on the com-
mand he has of their offense. He knows what
defense youre in, what it might give up, what
it might not give up, and he puts them in a
good position.
Brady was hard on himself after losing the
Super Bowl last season to the New York
Giants, 21-17. He was called for intentional
grounding from his own end zone, a safety, on
the Patriots rst offensive play. Then, he
threw two off-target passes with the Patriots
ahead 17-15 in the last four minutes.
Theres a lot of opportunities to miss out
on, he said. We denitely had ours and did-
nt take advantage. Im right there at the top of
the list.

NEW YORK The NHL and its players
union kept talking Wednesday, a day after they
met for more than seven hours in an effort to
end the nearly two-month-old hockey lockout.
The sides negotiated on a new collective
bargaining agreement past 10 p.m. Tuesday
and immediately announced they would
reconvene. They started up again at an undis-
closed location, and were fully prepared to
talk well into the night.
As the lockout reached its 53rd day, it was
expected that owners and players would fur-
ther discuss the make-whole provision,
which involves the payment of player con-
tracts that are already in effect.
A day after NHLPA executive director
Donald Fehr spoke to reporters before meet-
ing with the NHL, neither side made any pre-
meeting comments.
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby,
an active participant in the process, was
among eight players in attendance for the lat-
est session. Some players, including Crosby,
left New York to try to avoid an impending
storm that brought snow to the area, the union
said.
The sides got together Wednesday for the
third time in ve days, including a weekend
session between NHL deputy commissioner
Bill Daly and union special counsel Steve
Fehr, Donalds brother. Before that there had
been no face-to-face discussions since Oct. 18.
Daly and the Fehrs were joined on Tuesday
by Commissioner Gary Bettman, a handful of
team owners and 13 players.
There was already common ground before
negotiations began Tuesday. The players
union adhered to the leagues request to keep
the meeting location in New York a secret.
With no outside distractions, the sides talked
from afternoon until night.
Once they broke for the day, neither side
gave any hint of what was discussed or if
progress was made, but both pointed to the
next round of talks.
The league will not characterize the sub-
stance or detail of the discussions until their
conclusion, Daly said in a statement Tuesday
night.
Steve Fehr met with Daly on Saturday in a
secret location, and neither provided many
details of what was discussed, but both agreed
that the meeting was productive.

Weve been in WCAL hell (the last month),
Agresti said. We do a lot of talking about how
tough the WCAL is. [My team has] kept a pret-
ty upbeat and positive attitude.
The Tigers got back that winning feeling as
Kings Academy got a taste of what the Tigers
went through during the league season. Notre
Dame had too much repower for the Knights to
contend with. While Kings Academy had its
moments, they were eeting.
Notre Dame got off to a slow start in Game 1,
as the Knights hung with them early. But with
the Tigers holding an 8-6 lead, they ran away
from the Knights, going on a 12-1 run to bury
Kings Academy. The Tigers nished with 14
kills in the rst set and committed just four
unforced errors. They got two or more kills from
ve different players in the set, with Jordan
Latchford and Tessa Board each nished with
three kills apiece.
Thats a good balance, Agresti said. We
werent depending on one person.
Kings Academy was a lot more competitive
in the nal two games, but still did not really
push Notre Dame. Kings Academy stayed with
the Tigers much longer in Game 2 than in Game
1. There were seven ties in the early going, but
with the score tied at 9, Notre Dame steadily
pulled away. A Knights hitting error gave the
Tigers a 10-9 lead, one they would not lose
again. It also sparked a 9-2 run that saw the
Tigers spurt out to a 17-11 advantage. Freshman
Jessica Beering, who was called up to the varsi-
ty squad just two weeks ago, had a strong Game
2, leading her team with six kills in the set.
Notre Dame jumped out to a early 8-3 lead in
Game 3, but the Knights did not go quietly, bat-
tling back to tie the game at 8. But with the
Tigers leading 12-11, they stepped on the gas
again and left the Knights in their dust. Notre
Dame went on a 7-0 run to give the Tigers a 19-
11 lead. It took Notre Dame four attempts to
clinch match point, but a Latchford tip at the net
nally ended the season for Kings Academy.
The kids played [well], Agresti said. They
came out ready to play and handled their busi-
ness.
CCS girls tennis
Of the nal San Mateo County teams left in
the second round of the CCS tournament, only
one advanced No. 4 Menlo, which beat
Santa Catalina 13-3. The other three teams
Burlingame, Carlmont and Crystal Springs
were all eliminated in convincing fashion.
Burlingame took the worst beating of the day,
losing all 18 matches to No. 2 Mitty. No. 3 St.
Francis knocked out Carlmont, 14-4, while No.
6 Harker beat Crystal Springs for the third time
this season, 10-4.
Menlo moves to the quarternals Friday,
where the Knights will host No. 5 Saratoga, an
11-7 winner over Palo Alto in the second round.
CCS water polo
It was a short stay for the Carlmont boys and
girls water polo teams as Scots were eliminated
in the rst round of the Division I tournament.
The Carlmont boys fell to Leland 18-4, while the
Lady Scots dropped a 21-3 decision to Gunn.

CCS
put Cleveland ahead 69-67.
Jarrett Jack, who also sat out the Warriors
morning practice because of an illness, came
through during Golden States nal push. He
converted a three-point play over Samardo
Samuels who started in Varejaos place
and threw a long outlet pass ahead to Richard
Jefferson for an easy dunk.
Lee helped Golden State outrebound
Samuels, Jon Leuer and what was left of
Clevelands frontcourt 44-39 to help Golden
State close the third quarter on an 18-5 run,
going ahead by 11 and essentially putting the
game out of reach.
Keeping it close mightve been the one bit
of good news for the Cavs all day.
Zeller returned to Cleveland for further
evaluation after sustaining a concussion and
broken cheekbone when Los Angeles Clippers
center DeAndre Jordan elbowed him in the
face in the Cavs 108-101 win Monday night.
In that same game, Varejao bruised his right
knee in the rst quarter.
Cavs coach Byron Scott said its unclear
when either will return.
NOTES: New Warriors C Andrew Bogut,
still playing through soreness in his surgically
repaired left ankle, was held scoreless in 17
minutes of play. He had ve points and three
rebounds. ... Golden State has won four
straight against Cleveland. ... San Francisco
Giants slugger and World Series MVP Pablo
Sandoval attended the game. .... Cavaliers
swingman C.J. Miles also played through an
illness.

INDIAN WELLS Baseball is considering a
broader expansion of video review for umpires
than rst discussed.
Instant replay in baseball began in August
2008 and has been limited to checking whether
potential home runs were fair or cleared over
fences. Major League Baseball Commissioner
Bud Selig has been saying since early 2011 he
wants to expand it to two additional types of
calls.
He was talking about really basically fair-
foul, trap plays. But were looking into more than
that, Joe Torre, MLBs executive vice president
for baseball operations, said Wednesday at the
general managers meetings.
Torre did not detail what types of calls a broad-
er expansion might include.
During tests late this year at Yankee Stadium
and Citi Field, MLB experimented with the
Hawk-Eye animation system that is used to judge
line calls in tennis and the TrackMan radar soft-
ware used by the PGA Tour.
We still have some questions on the way it is
now, if thats going to t with baseball, Torre
said. Im not saying it cant be adjusted or they
can do something would make it work for our
game.
He pointed out tennis courts are smaller than
baseball elds.
Its easier to cover as opposed to what we
have, he said.
Depending on what baseball decides, changes
might have to be negotiated with the umpires
and players unions.
Selig has said he hopes to have wider replay in
2013.
I know what the commissioner said, that he
expects it to be done, but again, he relies on us,
Torre said of the staff.
New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi called
for wider use of replay after second base umpire
Jeff Nelson blew a call at second base in Game 2
of the AL championship series, leading to an
argument and Girardis ejection. Nelson admitted
he blew the call on the play, which should have
ended the eighth inning before Detroit expanded
its lead from one run to three. The Tigers won 3-
0 and swept the Yankees before getting swept by
San Francisco in the World Series.

SPORTS
the state title, at least based on the scores
posted by the teams in the Southern
California tournament. The So Cal winner
was Irvine Valley, which shot a 624. But
Velasquez wont be reading too much into
that, considering he doesnt know how the
course used for the So Cal tournament
played.
I heard it was longer, maybe 500 yards
longer (than the course we played on),
Velasquez said. I dont know the difculty
of the course. I know Southern California
golfers are pretty good, but some of those
scores were pretty high.
Nousiainen paced the Colts at the Nor Cal
tournament by shooting a two-day total of
145, which was good for a second-place n-
ish overall. She was followed by Rotters
151, Raheels 155 and Shannon Wongs 157.
Hannah Murray and Michelle Wong rounded
out the Colts scoring with scores of 175 and
196, respectively.
The impressive aspect of the tournament
for the Colts was the fact ve of six players
scores improved from Day 1 to Day 2.
We were ahead by 14 strokes at the end
of the rst day, Velasquez said. (After that
rst round) we didnt talk about having a
lead, we didnt talk about going to state. We
just talked about [Day 2].
If we shot this score next week (at the
state tournament) Id say wed probably win
it. I just try to keep the girls under wraps so
we dont get too up or too down. We just
hope it doesnt fall apart at state.
Even if the Colts blow up at state, it wont
mar what they have accomplished this season
and Velasquez said those accomplishments
go much further than the golf course. He said
this team genuinely likes each other and
pulls for each other to be successful, which
isnt always the case.
Other teams act like theyre playing an
individual sport. [The Caada players] real-
ize theyre representing their school,
Velasquez said. (I dont love this team) just
for the golf. Its because of the way the team
gets along, no drama. When youre with girls
12 hours a day, there can be drama. They just
have fun. Just being with this group has been
special. Ive coached a lot of teams at every
level and I have to say this is probably my
favorite. They just play together and have fun
and thats what its supposed to be about.
Theyre really happy to be in a position to
play in the state tournament. Theyre not
really worried about winning or losing.
And thats what it should be about.
***
I just wanted to clarify an article I wrote
last week about a couple of local athletes
who will be playing college. Serras Henry
Caruso did not receive an athletic scholarship
from Princeton. As part of the Ivy League,
Princeton does not offer athletic scholarships.
But he did qualify to enroll in the school and
will play for the team.

LOUNGE
Early last year, the line faced criticism for a slow start, then
took more heat after quarterback Alex Smith was sacked nine
times in a Thanksgiving night loss at Baltimore. Staley,
Jonathan Goodwin and Co. have done their best to ignore
and sometimes even call out the skeptics and move forward
by sticking together to stay the course.
Theres a lot of talent in that room, on that line. The one
thing Ill say about this line is its a hard-working line, its a
line thats not satised with a little success, Goodwin said. I
think everybody wants big success for themself and this team.
And the Niners are getting more of a push from opposing
defenses within the division this season, as every team has
either upgraded or just plain improved on that side of the ball.
Rams coach Jeff Fisher realizes what a load his defense faces
on Sunday in stopping Gore, slowing down Smith and his large
cast of receivers and doing all that against a physical, do-
everything offensive line.
I cant remember having to prepare for an offense that was
so well-coached and so diversied in the run game and so tal-
ented, the different types of run concepts, Fisher said.
Smith connected with nine different wideouts in a 24-3 road
rout of the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football on
Oct. 29, and like Gore the quarterback gives much of the cred-
it to the line. Smith was also sacked four times that night and
has been taken down 22 times this season for 128 lost yards
yet the 2005 No. 1 overall pick recently said he takes the blame
and would rather be sacked than risk throwing an interception.
They have a lot on their plate, week in and week out, Smith
said. We ask them to do a lot, run and pass. Really, our bal-
ance starts with them, the ability in the run game and then pro-
tect in the pass game. They continue to execute, not just phys-
ically but mentally.
Thats just part of the job, said left guard Mike Iupati. He and
Davis were both rst-round draft picks in 2010 and became
instant starters. Now, theyre veterans.
Were all on the same page. We want to win. Thats the key
to it, Iupati said. Just sticking together, camaraderie. We have
each others back, and also the communication factor.
Whatever makes them work, other teams are taking notice.
Theres so much to deal with on San Franciscos offense.
They have a lot invested in the O-line and do a very good
job. It just makes that play action a nightmare when you try to
stop the run, St. Louis linebacker James Laurinaitis said. And
when you have an O-line like that, they have some weird run-
ning plays. Theyll run some running plays I dont think Ive
seen since the Tecmo Super Bowl, playing that video game.
49ERS

L
ate fall and winter are great times to
curl up with gardening books and cat-
alogs, to dream about and plan next
years garden. Here are some of my favorite
gardening books:
California Master
Gardener Handbook
At 702 pages, it is more of an encyclopedia
than a handbook, but it is the bible of
California Master Gardeners, and it is avail-
able to anyone through the University of
California Agriculture and Natural Resources
(UC ANR). Want to know what those strange
things are on and around your tomato plant,
and what to do about them? This book will
tell you about dodder and broomrape two
parasitic seed plants that strike tomatoes.
Want to know how to condition soil, fertilize,
propagate plants, identify insects, get rid of
pests, take care of house plants, prune grape
vines or nurture citrus? Its all here.
Sunset Western Garden Book
Now heres the bible for the gardening
masses. If you can only afford or have space
for one gardening book, this is the one. Want
a small tree to frame your patio? What plants
sport red foliage? Whether there is a owering
plant that likes shade? The Sunset guide has it
covered. The back section offers a practical
guide to gardening, which gives you the
basics of gardening and answers those ques-
tions youve been embarrassed to ask, such as
what the heck the meaning is of those X-X-X
series of numbers on a bag of fertilizer.
Northern California Gardening:
by Katherine Grace Endicott
This is the reference book I turn to most to
keep me on track with what I should be
doing in my garden, month by month. There
is a chapter for each month, and it starts with
a handy notes page for you to write down the
specics for your garden. My notes for
January say: Prune roses and spray late
January into February. Spray apricot tree
before February. By the end of February, cut
back the Mexican sage to 1 foot. I love how
Endicott addresses different tasks that gar-
deners in different regions of Northern
California need to do each month. She also
tells you what plants are in bloom and what
are likely to be in nurseries for each month
of the year.
Golden Gate
Gardening: by Pam Peirce
Peirce is well known in Bay Area garden-
ing circles. She writes a gardening column
for the San Francisco Chronicle, teaches
ornamental horticulture at City College of
San Francisco and co-founded the San
Francisco League of Urban Gardeners. This
book is a complete guide to food gardening
in the Bay Area, including the coastal
region. She knows all about the Bay Area
microclimates and what will grow where.
She even includes recipes that use ingredi-
ents we can grow in the Bay Area. Her style
is very practical and approachable. This
book is a treasure.
Plants and Landscapes for
Summer-Dry Climates, published by
the East Bay Municipal Utility District
Oh my, what a gorgeous book! East Bay
MUD (Isnt that fun to say?) produced this
gem to showcase plants suited to the Bay
Areas soils and dry summer climate. The
lush, full-color photos of plants in bloom or
at maturity give you a great sense of how
they might look in your garden. A section in
the back lists plants by name and describes
whether they are evergreen or deciduous;
how much sun and water they need; whether
they are a California native; and whether
they do well in the more extreme summer
conditions found along the cool and foggy
coast, and the hot and dry inland areas. This
is a great book for dreaming. Keep a pad of
Post-It notes close by when you look
through it because youre sure to fall in love
with many of the featured plants.
California Gardeners Guides
One is by Bruce and Sharon Asakawa,
and the other dubbed Volume II is by
Nan Sterman. Both are produced by the
same publisher, Cool Springs Press, so Im
guessing that the Asakawas guide is
Volume I. Both books offer simple sum-
maries with photos of great and easy-
to-find plants for California gardens. Each
plant profile describes when, where and
how to plant; growing tips; and good com-
panion plants.
Cass Turnbulls Guide to Pruning. My
favorite book about how and how not to
prune shrubs, vines, trees and ground cov-
ers. Turnbull covers the basics: basic cuts,
techniques for selective pruning, when to
prune and type of pruning tools. Then she
covers how to prune specific plants.
Turnbull is passionate about pruning, and is
the founder of Plant Amnesty an organi-
zation devoted to ending the senseless tor-
ture and mutilation of trees and shrubs,
says Turnbull. Her website is informative
and fun.
Two other very
good pruning books are:
Easy Pruning by Colin Crosbie. I love
the full-color photos that show a plant being
pruned from start to finish.
Pruning and Training Plants by David
Joyce. This book has excellent photos and
illustrations showing exactly what to do and
where on the plant to do it. As the books
name indicates, you will also learn how to
shape plants, and train them to grow in a
direction or shape you want.
Of course, dont forget about the wealth
of information available to you and most
of it for free through UC ANR.

Its that time of year again, when we pull
out the blankets and sweaters and stash the
last of the warm-weather items until spring
arrives.
Many homes lack the space needed to
store everything right where we use it. So
seasonal things get shuttled around and
sometimes even misplaced.
If the serving dishes you use only at the
holidays are stacked way up at the top of
your pantry, you may nd yourself run-
ning out and buying something youve
already got, because you cant remember
what you have or you cant get to it, says
Atlanta-based interior designer Mallory
Mathison.
Many of her clients struggle with insuf-
cient closet space for storing items that
are only used for a few months each year.
Here, Mathison and interior designers
Brian Patrick Flynn and Molly
Luetkemeyer offer advice on creatively
storing off-season items in ways that max-
imize every inch of space and make it easy
to retrieve what you need.
FIND DOUBLE-DUTY FURNITURE
All three designers love furniture that
offers hidden storage. A bench with stor-
age space inside is perfect for boots, and
bins containing scarves, gloves and hats.
Or add a large coffee table/ottoman
combination to your living room:
Theyre an easy way to sneak a bit more
seasonal storage into a room, without hav-
ing to add extra closet space or add pricey,
big-ticket furniture pieces, says Flynn,
founder of the design website decorde-
mon.com. You can nd a ton of storage-
ottoman-coffee tables on websites like
overstock.com or hayneedle.com.
For families with pets, Flynn suggests
creating a sleeping space for a small dog
or cat that doubles as seasonal storage.
To do this, I take a ea-market dresser,
usually a highboy with four to six draw-
ers, then remove the bottom two for use as
an open lounge space for pets, complete
with a removable cushion, he says. Use
the remaining drawers above for seasonal
items like off-season clothing.
MAXIMIZE UNDER-BED SPACES
Many people use the space under their
master bed for seasonal storage.
Luetkemeyer suggests doing the same
with every bed in the house.
Tuck clear plastic bins under childrens
beds (and a guest bed, if you have one),
labeling each one clearly.
You can rotate items in and out of these
bins during the year one holding swim-
suits all winter might hold sweaters in
summer. If you know that all under-bed
space is designated for seasonal items, it
will be easier to track down the once-a-
year items youre seeking.
Also, see whether any sofas or other
large pieces of furniture might have room
underneath for at storage bins.
TRY CREATIVE CARPENTRY
Mathison suggests having built-in cabi-
nets added along the walls on both sides of
your bed. Creating this architectural niche
for your bed is totally cozy, and it also
creates great concealed and/or open stor-
age, she says.
Another built-in option: If your kitchen
cabinets dont go all the way to the ceiling,
add extra closed storage on top for season-
al serving dishes and table linens. Or have
a row of very shallow shelves (no more
than 3 or 4 inches deep) added to one wall
of your kitchen or pantry. You can prop up
dishware or serving pieces you rarely use,
creatively storing them while adding some
beauty to your walls.
Also, search your home for bits of
square-footage that arent being used, such
as a crawl space under a staircase. Hire a
handyman to add a small door and turn
that empty space into a cabinet.
Consider changing your kitchen seating:
Swap out chairs for built-in benches with
hidden storage, then hide rarely-used items
there.
GET HOOKED
Seasonal things that inspire you should
be left out as much as possible, Flynn
says. I use a ton of wall hooks in my
spaces, mostly to be able to hang up
favorite pieces of clothing which add dec-
orative air to a room.
In a bedroom, a cluster of favorite an-
nel shirts can look great on decorative
hooks, and the same goes for winter jack-
ets. In summer, hang your favorite T-shirts
or swimsuits on those same hooks while
the winter items are put away.
This works well in kids rooms and nurs-
eries, helping ensure that kids wear their
cutest pieces before the season ends and
they grow out of them.

The cool nights of autumn are a sign
for most of us to pull out our winter
wardrobes in preparation for the chilly
weather ahead.
Plants, too, take cues from seasonal
changes. In addition to the differences
in day and evening temperatures, short-
ened day length causes many plants to
prepare for the season ahead.
While shrubs and trees in our back-
yards react to these seasonal changes
by dropping their leaves, other plants
respond by preparing to bloom. The
beautiful zygocactus, often referred to
as Christmas cactus, responds to cool
temperatures and shorter days by form-
ing flower buds at the segmented tips
of its flattened leaves.
This easy-to-grow plant is native to
tropical regions of South America and
is often found growing in the company
of orchids rather than in arid deserts as
its name might imply.
Zygocactuses are epiphytes, which
means in their native habitat they are
found growing in trees, on rocks or on
fallen branches rather than in the
ground as most cactuses are. Often
forming large clumps, they root them-
selves in the crevices of tree trunks,
where they obtain their nourishment
from decaying leaves and debris and
obtain water from brief, passing show-
ers.
Zygocactuses are long-lived plants
and are tolerant of neglect. Their leaves
and stems are capable of storing mois-
ture, allowing them to go for long peri-
ods without water. When grown as
houseplants, more of these beautiful
plants die from overwatering than
underwatering.
Hybridization of zygocactus has pro-
duced many new flower shapes and
colors. Once only available in magenta,
varieties can now be found in white,
pink, gold, salmon, red and bicolor.
Flower shapes, too, have been
improved, and double forms are now
common. Other hybrids have upward-
facing flowers showcasing flashy
pollen covered anthers.
While extremely easy to care for dur-
ing most of the year, zygocactuses need
only a little extra attention once fall
arrives to ensure a spectacular display
of flowers sometime between
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
With the arrival of fall, begin to ease
up on watering your zygocactus and
place your plant where temperatures
are cool; anywhere between 50 and 60
degrees is ideal, especially during the
evening. Daytime temperatures can be
warmer. Keep plants out of direct sun
but in a place where they will receive
bright light. Avoid any artificial light;
decreasing daylight is what helps initi-
ate bud set. I place my plants outside
on the shady side of my house in early
summer and leave them there until
early to mid-October, depending on
evening temperatures.
Zygocactuses will form unbelievably
large numbers of flowers when grown
cool, dry and with decreasing light dur-
ing the fall. Water sparingly during the
next few weeks, but dont let the plant
get bone dry either. A good rule of
thumb is to water well, and allow the
top inch of soil to dry out before water-
ing again.
Once zygocactuses finish blooming,
they should be allowed to rest. Keep
them in a cool location and water spar-
ingly for six to eight weeks. I begin
watering mine again with more regu-
larity some time toward the end of
February. In March or April, the plant
will begin to grow new leaves. Fertilize
with a half-strength solution of any
water-soluble fertilizer about once a
month until midsummer, and then go
back to just water.
Zygocactuses do well growing in the
same pots for years. When they do out-
grow their pots and need transplanting,
dont increase the size of the new pot
too much, as excess soil around the
roots can hold too much moisture,
causing roots to rot. Regular potting
soil will be fine for zygocactus, but
adding some extra clean sand, pea
gravel or perlite to the soil will help
ensure good drainage.
As plants prepare to go dormant,
zygocactus gets ready to show off
Zygocactus, also known as Christmas cactus, blooms in late fall and early winter.
New flower varieties
excel at overwintering
By Dean Fosdick
Overwintering plants usually means deadheading, divid-
ing, pruning, mulching or bringing them indoors to protect
them from the cold. Increasingly, though, varieties are being
introduced that ower into winter and rebound in spring. They
need no special care and deliver more blooms for the buck.
Two noteworthy examples are Ball Horticultural Co.s Cool
Wave petunias and pansies.
These owers have more hardiness because they were
developed in many different locations, and strains were cho-
sen from breeding stock that did best in temperature
extremes, said Cool Wave plant manager Claire Watson.
Not only are they resistant to cold but they also are more tol-
erant of heat.
Some other ower varieties introduced recently to provide
color over longer periods of time are bearded iris, daylilies,
clematis and shrub roses. Many of those perennials bloom
repeatedly through the growing season, unlike earlier edi-
tions.
Cool Waves extended owering petunias have been on the
market ve years, quickly becoming consumer favorites.
Pansies were introduced this year.
They need less maintenance, have large-size owers and
their colors intensify with the cold, Watson said. They tol-
erate several light frosts and simply go dormant after a hard
frost. They bloom even in the snow.
Cool Wave series owers can be mixed with traditional late-
season plants like ornamental cabbage and peppers, kale,
mums, lavender and millet. They return in spring to comple-
ment such early arriving bulb varieties as daffodils, tulips,
hyacinth and crocuses. In short, they display well with others.
Some owers, such as petunias, need no special care and
deliver more blooms for the buck.

been called at Raleys in its 77-year history.
Negotiations have been ongoing for 15
months now and a federal mediator was
brought in recently to broker a deal between the
company and its employees but talks stalled
Saturday.
Raleys contends it must seek concessions
from its employees to remain competitive with
non-union retailers such as Walmart and Target.
Raleys threatened to impose a contract with
its own terms Thursday before the federal
mediator got involved after the two sides have
bickered over a proposed wage freeze, health
care benets and the elimination of premium
pay on Sundays.
At the Nob Hill Foods yesterday in Redwood
Shores, passersby honked their horns in sup-
port of the strike and one woman shopper even
came running out of the store pushing her cart
as she apologized to the many picketers who
surrounded her.
Many shoppers refused to cross the picket
line, however.
We have loyal customers, Pinochi said.
They dont even ask us why were striking.
They say well be back.
The picketers have been given free food from
some of its neighbors at the Marketplace at
Redwood Shores shopping center, including
Togos and Amicis, and some customers have
even donated cash, Pinochi said.
The workers have been supported by the San
Mateo County Central Labor Council and
union workers from grocery outlets such as
Safeway.
The councils Executive Secretary-Treasurer
Shelley Kessler told the Daily Journal yester-
day that a strike is the last thing the workers
wanted to do.
They are trying to keep the ability to pro-
vide for their families, Kessler said. They
deserve a decent standard of living.
Raleys and Nob Hill are in a race to the
bottom with chains such as Walmart in a effort
to make more prots at the expense of its work-
ers, Kessler said.
They are making enormous prots and we
have to draw the line somewhere, she said.
In the meantime, Raleys and afliates Bel
Air and Nob Hill Foods are conducting a
three-day free for all for its customers that
expires tomorrow. The grocery outlet is offer-
ing free produce, chips, soda, eggs and coupons
to its customers that striking workers say is a
gimmick that is not working.
Pinochi said the group was willing to picket
for as long as it takes until a new collective-bar-
gaining agreement is made.
STRIKE
money, schools will have massive, mid-year
cuts. On Tuesday, voters approved the per-
sonal income tax and sales tax increases.
Locally, education leaders are grateful for the
support. Passage means avoiding billions in
mid-year cuts but it doesnt bring any addi-
tional money to education. In fact, locally, a
number of districts are bracing for difcult
budget conversations in the spring that will
include cuts and the end of decit spending.
Passing the statewide measure simply means
the expected cuts didnt increase.
In an environment of ongoing scal chal-
lenge across the state, we are deeply appre-
ciative of California voters who, with the pas-
sage of Proposition 30, demonstrated that
investing in our future by protecting funding
for education is a high priority, Nancy
Magee, spokeswoman for the San Mateo
County Ofce of Education, said Wednesday.
While Proposition 30 does not increase cur-
rent funding levels, our school districts can
now continue to pursue their goals for
improved academic achievement without the
immediate threat of deeper and more severe
cuts which might have included increased
class sizes or a reduction of the school year
by as many as 15 days.
True, this year will be safe thanks to the
voter support. Next years budget situation is
not as clear. Many districts are still projecting
millions in cuts.
In Redwood City, the passage of
Proposition 30 means the district doesnt
need to cut 13 days from the current school
year, said Superintendent Jan Christensen,
who called the voter support wonderful. But
challenges remain, she added.
Were still going to be cutting, she said.
Due to deficit spending, the district is
going to be looking at cutting $2 million for
an already bare-bones budget. Christensen
said that will mean working with bargaining
units.
Redwood Citys situation isnt unique.
The San Bruno Park Elementary School
District sought a $199 annual parcel tax,
Measure G, this week. The ve year levy
failed to generate the two-thirds support
needed to pass. Estimated to bring in about
$2 million annually if passed, the board will
now need to again discuss cutting back after
years of decit spending. Last year, that con-
versation led to the consideration of closing
multiple schools.
Elizabeth McManus, deputy superintendent
of the San Mateo Union High School District,
said the Proposition 30 vote validates the
importance of education. But, due to the slug-
gish economy, she will need, she said, to
continue to monitor all projections that could
potentially impact the district. The district is
in a maintain and evaluate mode.
In terms of evaluation, the district is con-
tinuing to look at being more efcient and
prioritizing programs.
For South San Francisco Unified,
Superintendent Alejandro Hogan is happy to
not face any mid-year cuts.
Its evident that most people in the state
want to support local schools, he said,
despite the challenges local schools are fac-
ing.
Possible cuts down the road mean the dis-
trict still needs to pay attention to the state
budget and, possibly, a fair share cut. In the
spring, Hogan plans to hold budget study ses-
sions.
PROP. 30
The changes will provide $6 billion to bal-
ance the state budget.
Brown, a Democrat, said Wednesday that
Proposition 30 will put California on a course
to scal stability after ve years of battering by
the recession. He characterized his victory as
a vote of condence with some reservations.
Now, he said, he must retain voters trust by
avoiding spending binges.
There are two things that Im very skeptical
about. One is mandates and the other is lega-
cies, he said. So Im just going to carry on.
With Democrats poised to secure a two-
thirds supermajority in both houses of the state
Legislature, Brown should have an easier time
pursuing his broader agenda.
That makeup would allow Democrats to
pass budgets and make other spending deci-
sions without any Republican support.
Observers have said Browns desire for a
lasting gubernatorial legacy was one of the
chief reasons he sought the job again in 2010
after rst serving as governor from 1975 to
1983, before voters approved term limits.
He has said he wanted to return to the gov-
ernors ofce after nearly three decades to get
stuff done, explaining he would lay out his
best ideas and leave the choices to voters.
His broader agenda includes building a $68
billion high-speed rail line, streamlining the
states environmental regulations, and building
two giant underground tunnels to funnel water
from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the
heart of the states water system.
Brown has strong support from labor unions
that also were victorious Tuesday in fending
off an initiative challenge to their political
clout.
Proposition 30, which raises the statewide
sales tax for four years and income taxes for
seven years on those who make more than
$250,000 a year, got an immediate nod of
approval from the credit rating agency
Standard & Poors. It called the measure the
linchpin to the governors broader, multiyear
strategy for reversing the states negative
budget position.
Revenue from the initiative will help the
state avoid deep cuts to public schools and
more tuition hikes at Californias colleges.
Business groups that had feared a downward
slide if the measure failed and forced huge
education cuts, also cheered the win, despite
higher tax bills for some Californians.
Brown had done the near impossible and
given California the temporary breathing
room it needs to continue getting its scal
house in order, restore our economy to health
and avoid additional massive cuts to education
and vital local public services, Jim
Wunderman, president and chief executive
ofcer of the Bay Area Council, which repre-
sents businesses in the San Francisco Bay area,
said in a statement.
In winning passage of his initiative, Brown
overcame strong voter distrust of state govern-
ment fueled by a stream of negative publicity
over the summer.
Brown was aware of the challenges and did
his best to tie the tax initiative to education
funding, noted Mark Baldassare, president and
CEO of the Public Policy Institute of
California.
All of this just reinforces just how knowl-
edgeable the governor is about the political
process as well as the policy process to make
this happen, because its not easy, Baldassare
said.

class is one of about 2,000 transitional
kindergarten rooms throughout the state
serving children who turn 5 late in the
year. This year, the rst for the
Kindergarten Readiness Act of 2010,
authored by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-
Palo Alto, the birthday cutoff date was
moved up to Nov. 1. The goal is to ulti-
mately require students to be 5 years old
to start kindergarten.
I thought I had thought of everything,
but I didnt think of that, Simitian said of
the impact of starting TK during a visit to
Taft yesterday morning.
His visit wasnt just to see his work in
action. Simitian was recognized for his
work championing the cause of early
childhood education with the Early
Learning Lifetime Achievement Award by
the nonprot advocacy group Preschool
California.
Preschool California is honored to
present Sen. Joe Simitian with the Early
Learning Lifetime Achievement Award in
recognition of his outstanding policy work
and strong voice to promote child learning
and educational opportunities, said
Catherine Atkin, president of Preschool
California.
The award comes the day after Simitian
ofcially won his bid to join the Santa
Clara County Board of Supervisors,
which hell start in January after being
termed out of the Legislature.
I am honored by the recognition, said
Simitian. Transitional kindergarten is
one of the few bright spots in Californias
current educational scene. At no addition-
al cost to the state, were now starting kids
at an age when theyre ready to learn, and
providing many of them with a year of TK
a get-ready year prior to kinder-
garten. Taken together, these two steps
provide the strong educational foundation
needed to fulll the California promise
that every kid has the opportunity to
achieve his or her potential in school,
career and life.
Tafts class is one of two within the
Redwood City Elementary School
District. This year, the deadline for when
a child needs to turn 5 to start kindergarten
began to be moved up from Dec. 1 to Sept.
1. As a result, more classes will be added
in the coming year to accommodate the
growing population in the two-year
kindergarten program.
Its the gift of time were giving them,
said Jan Christensen, Redwood City
Elementary School District superintend-
ent.
Many of the district students are
English language learners and from lower
socioeconomic backgrounds, she said.
Through TK, the children get an extra
year of support in academics.
Getting TK started had some chal-
lenges. More recently, it came under
attack when Gov. Jerry Browns January
budget proposal called for the elimination
of the program. State ofcials from both
Assembly and Senate subcommittees
rejected the proposal to eliminate the pro-
gram. The conversation did put planning
in limbo for many districts.
California actually doesnt require stu-
dents be enrolled in kindergarten.
Similarly, students are not required to
enroll in the TK program. Parents could,
instead, wait to enroll their children until
rst grade.
SIMITIAN
in the San Bruno district, the petitioners
also note most of the neighborhood chil-
dren attend school in San Bruno. As such,
they would like to continue with friends
through high school into the San Mateo
Union High School District, according to
the petition.
Before a decision can be made, each
district board of trustees will vote on the
petition. The South San Francisco Unied
School District Board of Trustees will be
the rst to vote during its meeting
Thursday. As proposed, staff recommends
denying the petition due to the loss of
income. Two public hearings will also be
held through the County Ofce of
Education. One is scheduled for the South
San Francisco Unied School District
Dec. 6, said Nancy Magee, county Ofce
of Education spokeswoman. A second
date will be scheduled soon for San Bruno
Park Elementary and San Mateo Union
High school districts. Each school district
has the opportunity to object. If no one
objects, the San Mateo County
Committee on School District
Organization can make a decision. An
objection would spark a vote by property
owners.
Both the South San Francisco and San
Bruno districts wanted the parcel when
discussing the boundary lines in 2010.
The dispute centers over tax revenue from
the property more than $200,000 since
the site was developed.
Currently, a number of the children liv-
ing within the new development are
attending its schools. However, property
tax money is going to the South San
Francisco district. School boundaries
were drawn prior to city limits. When Carl
Sandburg Elementary was built, the land
was in unincorporated San Mateo County.
In 1977, the Local Agency Formation
Commission annexed the land to the city
of San Bruno.
When the issue originally came up, San
Bruno Park ofcials said that when the
county maps were changed in regards to
the city limits, the district changes were
overlooked. South San Francisco Unied,
on the other hand, maintained that the dis-
trict lines were never meant to be
changed.
Its not only about boundaries. The
boundaries dictate where property rev-
enue is funneled.
In 2005, the San Bruno district sold the
site for $30.5 million which became the
land on which 70 single-family homes
were built. In 2007, property tax revenue
from the site began to be collected and
forwarded to the South San Francisco
Unied School District. If the school dis-
trict boundaries are changed, future tax
revenue would go to San Bruno Park
Elementary and San Mateo Union High
school districts instead.
This is the second time in recent history
that residents have petitioned for a bound-
ary change.
In May, 90 percent of property owners
of 47 homes on Fairmont Drive in San
Mateo favored switching school assign-
ments.
As a result, the school assignments for
the homes on Fairmont Drive were
changed. Previously, students were zoned
to attend Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary and Sequoia Union High
school districts. Under the new bound-
aries, students will instead attend the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary and San
Mateo Union High school districts.
The South San Francisco Board of
Trustees meets 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 8 at
the South San Francisco High School
library, 400 B St., South San Francisco.
PETITION
Democrats controlled a Senate superma-
jority, and the only time since California
voters passed Proposition 13 in 1978, rais-
ing the legislative vote threshold to pass
tax increases to two-thirds.
Democrats will control at least 27
seats in the 40-member Senate and are
closing in on the two-thirds margin in
the Assembly as well.
Its time to start anew and to live with-
in our means but at the same time invest
in the cornerstone of our future and of our
economy, and thats education, Senate
President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-
Sacramento, said in a telephone inter-
view.
He later told reporters that he favors
tax reform to broaden Californias tax
base without further raising tax rates.
I certainly dont mean to suggest to
my colleagues that the first thing we
do is go out and raise more taxes,
Steinberg said.
Tax increases approved by voters on
Tuesday can be used to avoid deeper cuts
to social programs and restore some
health care programs for the poor that had
been curtailed, he said.
Yet Democrats will inevitably face
increased pressure from public employee
unions, teacher unions and other core
constituencies now that they are on the
verge of gaining total control of the
Legislature as well as the governors
ofce, said San Jose State University
political science professor Larry Gerston.

Powerful quake hits
Guatemala, killing at least 39
SAN MARCOS, Guatemala A 7.4-mag-
nitude earthquake rocked Guatemala on
Wednesday, killing at least 39 people as it top-
pled thick adobe walls, shook huge landslides
down onto highways, and sent terried vil-
lagers streaming into the streets of this idyllic
mountain town near the border with Mexico.
One hundred people were missing, and hun-
dreds were injured.
The quake, which hit at 10:35 a.m. in the
midst of the work day, caused terror over an
unusually wide area, with damage reported in
all but one of Guatemalas 22 states and shak-
ing felt as far away as Mexico City, 600 miles
to the northwest.
San Marcos, where more than 30 homes
collapsed, bore the brunt of the temblors fury.
More than 300 people, including reght-
ers, policemen and villagers, tried to dig
through a half ton of sand at a quarry in the
commercial center of town in a desperate
attempt to rescue seven people believed buried
alive. Among those under the sand was a 6-
year-old boy who had accompanied his grand-
father to work.

ATHENS, Greece Greeces Parliament
passed a crucial austerity bill early Thursday
in vote so close that it left the coalition gov-
ernment reeling from dissent.
The bill, which will further slash pensions
and salaries, passed 153-128 in the 300-mem-
ber Parliament. It came hours after rioters
rampaged outside Parliament during an
80,000-strong anti-austerity demonstration,
clashing with police who responded with tear
gas, stun grenades and water cannons.
Approval of the cuts and tax increases
worth (euro) 13.5 billion ($17 billion) over
two years was a big step for Greek efforts to
secure the next installment of its international
rescue loans and stave off imminent bankrupt-
cy.
The countrys international creditors have
demanded that the bill and the 2013 budget,
due to be voted on Sunday, pass before they
consider releasing an already delayed (euro)
31.5 billion installment from Greeces (euro)
240 billion bailout. Without it, Prime Minister
Antonis Samaras says Greece will run out of
money on Nov. 16.
Greece made a big decisive and optimistic
step today. A step toward recovery, Samaras
said, adding that he was very happy with
the result.
Development and growth for the country,
which faces a sixth year of a deep recession in
2013, will come only with a lot of work, with
coordinated action, with investments, he
said.
But the close vote was a major political
blow to the three-party coalition government,
which holds a total of 176 seats in Parliament.
The result shows support for continued aus-
terity three years into Greeces nancial crisis
is dwindling fast.
The government now has very little margin
to take measures like this again, said Dimitris
Mardas, associate professor of economics at
the University of Thessaloniki. But unless it
takes various obvious actions like limiting the
black economy, addressing tax evasion and
improving the countrys investment frame-
work, we may end up needing new measures.
And then things will be very difcult.
Greece narrowly passes crucial austerity bill
By Ben Fox and Danica Coto
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico Puerto Ricans
have supported U.S. statehood in a vote that
jubilant members of the pro-statehood party
say is the strongest sign yet that the Caribbean
island territory is on the road to losing its sec-
ond-class status.
But Tuesdays vote comes with an asterisk
and an imposing political reality: The island
remains bitterly divided over its relationship
to the United States and many question the
validity of this weeks referendum.
Nearly a half million voters chose to leave a
portion of the ballot blank. And voters also
ousted the pro-statehood governor, eliminat-
ing one of the main advocates for a cause that
would need the approval of the U.S.
Congress.
Statehood won a victory without prece-
dent but its an artificial victory, said Angel
Israel Rivera Ortiz, a political science pro-
fessor at the University of Puerto Rico. It
reflects a divided and confused electorate
that is not clear on where its going.
President Barack Obama had said he
would support the will of the Puerto Rican
people on the question of the islands rela-
tionship to the U.S., referred to simply on the
island as its status, and this weeks refer-
endum was intended to be the barometer.
But the results arent so clear cut. It was a
two-part ballot that first asked all voters if
they favor the current status as a U.S. terri-
tory. Regardless of the answer, all voters
then had the opportunity to choose in the
second question from three options: state-
hood, independence or sovereign free
association, which would grant more
autonomy to the island of nearly 4 million
people.
More than 900,000 voters, or 54 percent,
responded no to the first question, saying
they were not content with the current status.
On the second question, only about 1.3
million voters made a choice. Of those, near-
ly 800,000, or 61 percent of those expressing
an opinion, chose statehood the first
majority after three previous referendums on
the issue over the past 45 years. Some
437,000 backed sovereign free association
and 72,560 chose independence. Nearly
500,000, however, left that question blank.
We made history with this plebiscite, said
Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi, the
islands representative in Congress and a
member of both the pro-statehood New
Progressive Party and the Democratic Party.
