WASHINGTON The Supreme Court plunged into the
contentious issue of gay marriage Friday when it agreed to
take up Californias ban on same-sex unions and a separate
dispute about federal benets for legally married gay couples.
The courts action gives the justices the chance to say by late
June whether gay Americans have the same constitutional
right to marry as heterosexuals. Several narrower paths also
are open to the justices as they consider both Californias
voter-approved Proposition 8 and the provision of the federal
Defense of Marriage Act that denies to legally married gay
Americans the favorable federal tax treatment and a range of
federal health and pension benets given to heterosexual cou-
ples.
The court is embarked on what could be its most signicant

County supervisors are putting their money
where their mouth is, backing up plans to keep
Interim County Manager John Maltbie around
full time four more years with a roughly
$300,0000 annual salary package.
The Board of Supervisors will vote at
Tuesday mornings meeting on the agreement
which would begin Dec. 23 and run through
Dec. 22, 2016. The proposal calls for Maltbie
to receive a bi-weekly salary of $10,393.60
but the board plans to bump the wage up to
$11,538.46 to be more in line with other chief
executive ofcer pay in the Bay Area.
The current county manager salary of
approximately $270,000 is more than 11 per-
cent behind its counterparts, according to a
board report by Human
Resources Director Donna
Vaillancourt.
Maltbie, 65, will also
receive a $1,000 monthly
car allowance and 45 days
of vacation per year which
can be cashed out at the
end of the contract.
However, Maltbie intends
to fully use the vacation
time and will receive a 22.5-day advance,
according to the agreement.
In the case Maltbie is let go by the county,
he will receive up to a year of salary and ben-
ets depending upon what time is left on his
contract.
On his end of the arrangement, Maltbie
must suspend his annual $133,000 pension to
be reinstated as a full-time county employee
because he cannot receive it simultaneously
with a salary.
Maltbie previously served as county manag-
er for more than two decades before retiring in
2008. Succeeding county manager David
Boesch resigned three years later before the
end of his contract and Maltbie stepped back
in on an interim basis. He was limited to work
960 hours in a scal year and did not receive
any other benets. In February, the Board of
Supervisors decided to keep Maltbie longer
and postponed recruiting a permanent replace-
ment until 2013 but now will wait until closer
to 2016.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m.
Tuesday, Dec. 11 in Board Chambers, 400
County Government Center, Redwood City.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Moss Beach man who allegedly sawed
at the neck of his female roommate with a
serrated knife because she reported him for
driving while intoxicated is mentally fit for
trial, a judge ruled Friday.
The decision means David Jon Vanalstine,
58, will be prosecuted on charges of
attempted murder, assault, domestic vio-
lence and using a knife rather than being
committed to a state mental facility. The
decision came Friday after a two-day trial in
which doctors offered differing opinions on
Vanalstines ability to aid in his own
defense.
Competency is a per-
sons ability to stand trial
while sanity is the mental
state at the time of an
alleged crime.
Sheriffs deputies
arrested Vanalstine at his
Pillar Ridge Estates resi-
dence Dec. 2, 2010 after
responding to a call by
the 56-year-old victim.
She told dispatchers she
had been stabbed by Vanalstine, who was
still inside the home, after returning home
from work in Montara. Vanalstine allegedly
held the woman down on the couch by her
hair and began sawing at her neck with a ser-
rated knife from her carotid artery to her ear,
according to the District Attorneys Office.
He allegedly only stopped when the
womans friend arrived and she was able to
grab a phone and run outside to call 911.
Vanalstines blood alcohol level three
hours after the attack tested .59 percent.
The attack came days after Vanalstine was
sentenced to 45 days in jail for an earlier
2010 misdemeanor drunk driving conviction
with priors. Police believe the victim turned
Vanalstine in on the charge. A judge stayed
the sentence until the end of January, leaving
Vanalstine free from custody.
He is currently in custody without bail.

Suspect
A convicted sex offender awaiting a
new trial on statutory rape charges
assaulted a correctional ofcer trying to
remove a T-shirt illegally covering the
mans jail cell light, according to prose-
cutors who charged him with resisting
and battery on a peace ofcer.
Joshua Kenneth Bringazi, 28, went to
trial this week in that new case but a
judge declared a mistrial after the prose-
cutor referred to him as a felon during
her closing argument to jurors. On
Monday, a new trial date will be set.
The alleged jail attack happened just
after 10 a.m. Oct. 16 when the ofcer
passed out lunches in the maximum
security unit housing Bringazi. When
the officer stepped
inside Bringazis cell
to remove a T-shirt
and towel covering
the light in violation
of jail policy,
Bringazi responded,
You are going to
have to make me
and blocked him
from leaving,
according to prose-
cutors. The two ultimately fought until
the ofcer got assistance and Bringazi
reportedly later told an intake sergeant
the ofcer was waiting to attack him
over a written grievance made a few
months previous.
Bringazi, who has ve prior convic-
tions for repeatedly having sex with an
inebriated teenager, was in jail on
charges he had sex with the drunk 15-
year-old sister of his roommates girl-
friend when the pair visited from Oregon
in August 2010. Bringazi allegedly
kicked the girls out of the apartment the
next day when she refused further
advances and his roommate ultimately
contacted authorities.
He is charged with a lewd act against
a child more than 10 years younger and
unlawful sexual intercourse. Three days
into that trial, a judge declared a mistrial
after his former attorney announced he
had an irreconcilable conict and could
no longer represent his client.
Bringazi remains in custody in lieu of
$100,000 bail.

The Second Harvest Food Bank is urg-
ing the community to be giving this holi-
day season as the food bank works to
reach its donation goals for hungry resi-
dents in San Mateo and Santa Clara coun-
ties, a center spokeswoman said.
The food bank is only a quarter of a
way toward their goal of raising $12.4
million and 2 million pounds of food for
its holiday food drive, Second Harvest
spokeswoman Caitlin Kerk said.
The community has been incredibly
generous, she said. We hope the com-
munity continues to give.
Thus far the food bank has only raised
about $3 million and 200,000 pounds of
food. Every little bit helps, Kerk said.
If a dollar buys two nutritious meals it
means everyone can help out.
The food bank serves the community
year-round, however, they see need
increase during the holidays, Kerk said.
If all you can do is throw a can of food
into a bin thats enough, Kerk said.
Foods that are most-needed include
peanut butter, canned tuna and other
canned meats, beans and stews. Pop-top
cans are preferred since many of the peo-
ple receiving the items do not have
kitchens.
To donate money visit shfb.org or call
(866) 234-3663. Food donations can be
made at food bank centers in San Jose
and San Carlos, as well as collection bar-
rels at local Whole Foods Market and
Safeway grocery stores. For those inter-
ested in donating their time and energy,
volunteers are always needed at the food
bank, Kerk said. Following the holiday
season the need for volunteers surges,
Kerk said.

be evaluated to determine if
low-income students who
receive coordinated income
support stay in school longer
and complete their studies
more quickly. Public supports
and refundable tax credits can
help low-income students
bridge the gap between nan-

Nurses at Kaiser
planning picket
SSF, RWC facilities included
Nurses at 21 Kaiser Permanente hospitals, including two in
San Mateo County, plan to picket later this month over what
they say is persistently inadequate stafng in emergency
care which leads to patients being turned away.
The afternoon picket planned for Dec. 19 includes the
South San Francisco and Redwood City medical centers.
The nurses are alarmed that Kaiser Permanente is consis-
tently and systematically failing to provide sufcient staff to
take care of their patients, Zenei Cortez, co-president of the
California Nurses Association wrote in a letter to incoming
Kaiser CEO Bernard Tyson.
Comments from Cortezs letter were released Friday in the
announcement of the strike by CNA and National Nurses
United.
CNA, which represents 17,000 nurses at Kaiser Permanente
facilities, claims short stafng is a chronic problem through-
out the hospitals but in particular emergency rooms, labor and
delivery and general medical units. Kaiser also sends patients
home prematurely, CNA contends.
Specically, the nurses are asking the organization to
immediately address short stafng by making decisions on
patient need rather than regional budget goals, admit all
patients who need care rather than rst placing them in 23-
hour observation units and staff hospitals with permanent
nurses rather than overly relying on temporary and travel
RNs.
Kaiser Permanente officials expressed disappointment
about the planned picketing because they are vigilant about
patient safety and care.
The union leaderships claims about Kaiser Permanente
have little to do with facts, and are a tremendous disservice to
the outstanding work being done each and every day by our
nurses, physicians and staff on behalf of our members and
patients, Gay Westfall, senior vice president of Kaiser
Foundation Hospitals and Health Plan Northern California,
said in a prepared statement.
Picketing will happen from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday,
Dec. 19.

WASHINGTON House Speaker
John Boehner said Friday there has been
no progress in negotiations to avert a
scal cliff combination of automatic
tax increases and spending cuts in
January and called on President Barack
Obama to produce a new offer.
Hours later, Vice President Joe Biden
again laid out the White Houses terms:
raise the top two tax rates paid by upper-
income earners and give the president
authority to raise the governments bor-
rowing cap without the approval of
Congress.
Top brackets have to go up. The top
rate should go to 39.6 percent, Biden
said, referring to the top Clinton-era tax
rate. Obama campaigned on raising tax
rates on individual income exceeding
$200,000 and family income over
$250,000, and hes claiming his re-elec-
tion as a mandate to insist on it.
Republicans are offering new tax rev-
enues through closing loopholes and
curbing deductions.
Biden allowed that the White House is
willing to negotiate over rates even as
he pressed a new administration demand
for authority for Obama to unilaterally
raise the national debt and avoid a
reprise of the debt crisis of a year and a
half ago.
We have to have a mechanism to stop
the brinkmanship for dealing with the
national debt, Biden said.

SACRAMENTO Californias eco-
nomic recovery could come to a halt if
Congress and President Barack Obama
are unable to avert the scal cliff, busi-
ness and government ofcials warned
Friday.
Robert Kleinhenz, chief economist at
the Los Angeles County Economic
Development Corp., said automatic
spending cuts would represent a loss of
$22.7 billion in gross state product, the
annual measure of goods and services
produced in the state. It would also mean
the loss of 225,000 jobs statewide, he said.
Southern California would be especial-
ly hard-hit because the region is a large
recipient of defense spending, particularly
for early-stage military research,
Kleinhenz said.
Expiring Bush-era tax cuts and the end
of a payroll tax holiday will also mean
smaller paychecks for workers at a time
when the nation is barely recovering from
the Great Recession.
This is a timing problem. If the
Congress can work out the timing, maybe
space out some of these adjustments over
the next couple of years, than we would
not endanger this recovery, Kleinhenz
said.

Drug makers settlements
get high court review
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court
will take a close look at payments from
brand-name drug makers to manufacturers of
generic equivalents to keep the no-name
products off the market at an estimated cost
of $3.5 billion a year to consumers.
The justices said Friday they will consider
competing appeals court decisions about
whether the practice known as reverse pay-
ments or pay for delay illegally reduces
competition by delaying the sale of substan-
tially cheaper generic drugs.
The payments typically are made to resolve
patent infringement claims by the brand-
name manufacturers against the makers of the
generic drugs. What is unusual about the
practice is that the claim is resolved by a pay-
ment from the company that holds the patent
rights to the company accused of violating
them.
The Federal Trade Commission says either
Congress or the high court should take action
to protect consumers from what it terms the
anticompetitive agreements. Generic drugs
can sell for as little as 10 percent of the
brand-name price. The sale of generic prod-
ucts can wipe out the vast majority of the
market for the higher-priced brand-name
drugs.
The cases at issue all involve challenges to
agreements between drug companies that
delayed the sale of generic versions of patent-
ed drugs.
Customs seizes rubber
ducks for chemical safety
LOS ANGELES U.S. Customs and
Border Protection officers in Southern
California have seized nearly 36,000 Chinese
rubber ducks that contain levels of a chemical
that may be unhealthful for children.
The ducks decorated as Santas, Snowmen
and other holiday gures were seized Dec. 4
by ofcers and import specialists at the ports
of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
The customs agency said Friday that it
worked with the U.S. Consumer Products
Safety Commission in determining that the
ducks contain an excessive level of a regulat-
ed phthalate, a chemical used to make vinyl
and plastics soft and exible.
The rubber ducks were valued at more than
$18,000.

DOHA, Qatar Delegates worked
through the night to salvage a deal at
United Nations climate talks, as efforts to
bridge gaps over financing for poor coun-
tries and demand for bolder actions by rich
countries on emissions made little head-
way.
The two-week U.N. conference in the
Qatar capital of Doha was never meant to
yield a global climate pact to curb emis-
sions of greenhouse gases that has been
put off until 2015. But even the modest
goals of extending the Kyoto Protocol and
laying the groundwork for the 2015 deal
only served to reopen old disputes between
rich and poor countries that have dogged
the talks for decades.
And with the negotiations on the brink of
failure, activists said they were giving up
hope that any deal would include tough
measures to protect the planet from the
effects of global warming.
The deal in Doha is a recipe for disaster.
The deal in Doha is a coffin for the planet,
said Michael Dorsey, a professor at
Wesleyan University in Connecticut, speak-
ing outside the negotiations. We will see
the failure to have emission targets suffi-
ciently high enough. We are going to see
the failure to move critical resources to
countries on the margin in the developing
world who desperately need resources to
get out ahead of the unfolding climate
catastrophe that is playing out around the
planet.
Most of the key disputes revolved around
money.
Poor countries, especially a coalition of
island nations and African countries, came
into the talks demanding a timetable on
how rich countries will scale up climate
change aid for them to $100 billion annual-
ly by 2020 a general pledge that was
made three years ago and how they will
raise the money. They also want a mecha-
nism established to deal with what is called
loss and damage to help them clean up
from natural disasters linked to climate
change.

WASHINGTON Growing fear that
civil war in Syria could unleash the worlds
first use of chemical weapons in nearly
three decades is based on two grim scenar-
ios neither considered likely but both
carrying risks of civilian massacre and a
major escalation of violence.
The first is that President Bashar Assad,
in a last-ditch effort to save his regime,
would order chemical attacks either as a
limited demonstration to the rebels of his
willingness to use the
internationally banned
weapons, or in a large-
scale offensive designed
to turn the tide of a con-
flict that already has
killed an estimated
40,000.
The second is that
some portion of Assads
arsenal could be moved
to Iran or Lebanon or fall into the hands of
foreign fighters with ties to terrorist groups
who are helping Syrian rebels.
What kinds of chemicals are in question?
What weapons?
News confirmed by the Associated Press
this week that an unknown number of
weapons in Syria were recently loaded with
the nerve agent sarin brought the Wests
fears into sharp relief.
Syria has never confirmed that it even has
chemical weapons. But it is believed to pos-
sess substantial stockpiles of mustard gas
and a range of nerve agents, including sarin,
a highly toxic substance that can suffocate
its victims by paralyzing muscles around
their lungs.

OPINION 9
A universe of us against
them, in a deep blue district
Editor,
After the Nth letter targeting the
guest perspective by Dwight Schwab,
The next four years, in the Nov. 17
edition of the Daily Journal, I find it
quite ironic. For the letter writers who
chided Schwab for only seeing the
worst in Democrats, they are doing
their utmost to see only the worst in
Republicans. In a universe of us
against them, in a deep blue district, it
is easy to ridicule and pile on against
poor Dwight; He fits the stereotype of
what many Democrats believe the
Republicans are. It is also easy to
ignore the insightful guest perspective
by George Yang on Nov. 12. He, after
all, had the courage to run as a bona
fide Republican in a very blue district
and talk sense on important issues
like pension and education reform. He
must be crazy, too.
It is easy and comfortable to think
the other side consists wholly of igno-
rant, selfish, obstinate fools while
ignoring all contrary evidence. The
television and radio talking heads on
both sides of the divide are doing
their best to preach to their choir.
According to them, they alone are
reasonable and moderate. Of course
they are, they agree with me.
Hopefully, the future wont be as
bleak as Schwab imagines. Most peo-
ple are too busy improving their own
lives to listen to narrow-casting politi-
cal talk on television or radio. More
importantly, somewhere between the
lazy American who only wants a
handout and the greedy American
who only wants another tax cut is the
real American who wants to work
hard to move this country forward.
The challenge for all of us is to see
the other side as reasonable citizens
with whom we may sometimes dis-
agree but can always work with.

Letter to the editor
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
E
verywhere he goes, House
Speaker John Boehner com-
plains about the dire conse-
quences that a tax hike on the wealthy
would have on small businesses,
which sit next to Mom, apple pie and
George Washington in the top tier of
American iconography. ...
It might be as simple as that if
President Barack Obama wanted to
raise taxes on small businesses. He
doesnt. Obama proposes to
increase marginal tax rates for the
wealthiest Americans from 35 per-
cent to 39.6 percent where they
were during the administration of
President Bill Clinton.
Republicans argue that because so
many business owners file as individu-
als, this slight increase in the marginal
rate would therefore cut profits and
the ability to hire workers. But they
rely on an expansive definition of
what constitutes a small business. In
fact, under their loose definition, some
of the nations wealthiest people could
qualify.
The Center on Budget and Policy
Priorities found that of the top 400
people who received $19.8 billion
in S corporation and partnership net
income in 2009 237 would be
counted as small businesses under
the usual GOP definition.
We havent heard Republicans get
this specific recently, but during the
presidential campaign, they often
argued that allowing Bush-era tax cuts
to expire on the wealthy would harm
small businesses because about half of
the income of small businesses is
taxed at the top two rates. Its a mis-
leading argument.
There is room for debate over
whether tax rates should rise and
by how much.
But how about an honest debate?
Claiming that a slight increase in mar-
ginal rates on the wealthiest
Americans will prevent businesses
from hiring just doesnt add up.
GOP claims on tax effects misleading
A harder look
at the real rich
By Dwight L. Schwab Jr.
E
nough already with this war on the rich which is
code for Republicans. The presidents bizarre
class warfare campaign demonized the success-
ful in this country. Some of the most obvious targets can
be found right down the street from the
White House and the truth is revealing
indeed.
Its time for the Democrats to share
the limelight since the mainstream
media generally ignores them like the
plague. A Republican leads the list of
the wealthiest in Congress, but take a
harder look.
For the second year in a row,
Republican Rep. Michael McCaul of
Texas is the richest member of Congress, with a reported
net worth of $305 million the first time a Washington
lawmaker has surpassed the $300 million mark.
Roll Calls annual list of the 50 richest members of
Congress reveals that seven of the top 10 are Democrats
and four of the 10 owe their fortunes to wealthy spous-
es.
McCaul, a former federal prosecutor, reported in 2010
that his wife had received assets as gifts from her parents,
boosting his net worth from some $73 million to at least
$294 million that year. His wife Linda is the daughter of
Clear Channel Communications Inc. CEO and founder
Lowry Mays.
Roll Call determines the minimum net worth of mem-
bers by subtracting the total minimum value of all liabili-
ties from the total minimum value of all assets.
Lawmakers do not have to report the value of personal res-
idences as an asset.
The assets and liabilities are listed in broad ranges, mak-
ing it difficult to calculate a lawmakers exact minimum
net worth, Roll Call pointed out.
Second on the 2012 list of richest members of Congress
is Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., up from No. 3 last year with
a net worth of $199 million. His wife Teresa Heinz Kerry
is the widow of the late Sen. H. John Heinz III of the
Heinz ketchup fortune.
At No. 3, down one place this year, is Rep. Darrell Issa,
R-Calif., at $141 million. Issa is the founder of Directed
Electronics Inc., which makes car alarms.
Next on the list is Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., at $86 mil-
lion. He made his fortune as co-founder of Nextel
Communications Inc.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., is No. 5, with $83 million.
He is the great-grandson of Standard Oil Co. founder John
D. Rockefeller.
He is followed by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., at
$79 million. His wife Cynthia Blumenthal is the daughter
of New York real estate mogul Peter Malkin.
Another Democrat, U.S. Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado, is
No. 7 with a net worth of $72 million. Much of his wealth
comes from Blue Mountain Arts, his familys greeting card
and publishing business.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, yet another
Democrat, is No. 8 at $57 million. He is co-founder of
Automatic Data Processing, a payroll processing company.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., No. 9 on the list, owes
her fortune to her husband Richard Blum, president and
CEO of the private equity firm Blum Capital Partners LP.
Her net worth is estimated at $42 million.
Rep. Jim Renacci, R-Ohio, is No. 10 with a net worth of
$37 million. He has significant investments in fast-food
chains, electronics companies, pharmaceutical companies,
and oil giants, according to Roll Call.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California is at
No. 13, with a net worth of $26 million, and Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is at No.
37 with $9 million.
The poorest member on the list is Sen. Ben Nelson, D-
Neb., with a net worth of $6.28 million.
Isnt it about time the media pays closer attention to
those actually making tax law and how they operate
behind the scenes? These are member of the real 1 percent
of the wealthiest, not the millions of small business own-
ers who will be stuck with the presidents grandiose
scheme to tax the rich.

publishing industry, including ABC/Cap Cities and

nalism from the University of Oregon and minors in political

F
inding a spokesman for the
Republican Party right now is
reminiscent of the Whos on
First? routine made famous by
Abbott and Costello.
While the GOP more or less had
Mitt Romney warming up in the
bullpen when Sen. John McCain lost
the 2008 presidential race, there does-
nt seem to be anyone ready to bring
in to relieve Romney, whos walked
off the mound and gone to the show-
ers.
Ordinarily, this wouldnt be that big
of a deal. But with Medicaid pay-
ments to doctors facing cuts, taxpay-
ers looking at the paycheck whammy
of reverting to the higher pre-George
W. Bush administration income tax
rates and the clumsy fiscal cleaver
known as sequestration seeming more
and more possible next month, some-
body needs to get out there and pitch
whatever ideas Republicans have for
dealing with these issues.
Clearly President Barack Obama is
dealing for the Democratic side, and
the lack of a counterpart across the
aisle is making negotiations on critical
aspects of government difficult. With
the GOP in charge of the House and
having the ability to filibuster in the
Senate, there has to be some meeting
of the minds between the two parties.
From appearances, Republican high-
er-ups are still reeling from an elec-
tion that has dumfounded them, a loss
when they were certain they had it in
the win column. And the fractures that
helped create that loss for the GOP
hardliners vs. moderates are show-
ing little evidence of healing.
The fact is that the art of compro-
mise has disappeared as hardliners on
the left have gained influence in the
Democratic Party and their counter-
parts on the right have pulled the GOP
in their direction. ... Republicans,
however, have a two-fold problem.
They will have to find compromise
solutions with Democrats, but first
they have to find compromises and
a direction within their own party.

NEW YORK Apple spoiled the
stock markets party on Friday.
Stocks shot higher in the early morn-
ing, after the government reported that
the U.S. added jobs in November. But
Apple, which has been ailing in recent
weeks as investors wonder how long its
momentum can continue, dragged down
the indexes that its part of.
The Dow Jones industrial average,
which doesnt include Apple, rose. The
Standard & Poors 500 and Nasdaq,
which do, were less impressive. The S&P
rose by a smaller amount, and the
Nasdaq fell.
The headline numbers from the jobs
report sent the market higher in early
trading. The Labor Department said the
U.S. added 146,000 jobs last month,
more than economists had expected. The
unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent
from 7.9 percent, the lowest in nearly
four years.
The overall report, however, painted a
more restrained view of the economy.
If you delve into that report a little
more, there are some disturbing issues,
said Brian Lund, who is based in Los
Angeles as executive vice president and
co-founder of the online brokerage Ditto
Trade.
Among them: The unemployment rate
fell largely because discouraged unem-
ployed workers stopped looking for
work, which meant they were no longer
counted among the unemployed. Also,
the Labor Department revised previously
released jobs numbers downward, saying
that employers added 49,000 fewer jobs
in October and September than initially
estimated.
Lund also wasnt so sure about the
governments statement that Hurricane
Sandy did not substantively impact the
unemployment numbers. He expected
Sandys detrimental effects to show up in
jobs reports over the next couple of
months, as businesses gure out their
post-storm plans.
If you have Sandy, you dont auto-
matically lose your job, Lund said.
Businesses take time to say, Oh, whats
going on, can we go forward, do we need
to cut people to survive? Its not until
later that they start laying off.
Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist
for ConvergEx in New York, was similar-
ly unimpressed by the jobs numbers. In a
note to clients, he said U.S. unemploy-
ment seems to be more consistent with
an ongoing recession than expansion.
In the recession of the early 1990s and
its aftermath, the highest rate of unem-
ployment was 7.8 percent.

WASHINGTON It takes more than
a superstorm to derail the U.S. job mar-
ket.
Employers added 146,000 jobs in
November and the unemployment rate
dipped to 7.7 percent, a four-year low,
the government said Friday.
Though modest, the job growth was
encouraging because it deed disrup-
tions from Superstorm Sandy and
employers concerns about impending
tax increases from the year-end scal
cliff.
Analysts said the job markets under-
lying strength suggests that if the White
House and Congress can reach a budget
deal to avoid the cliff, hiring and eco-
nomic growth could accelerate next
year.
A budget agreement would coincide
with gains in key sectors of the econo-
my.
Builders are breaking ground on more
homes, which should increase construc-
tion hiring. U.S. automakers just
enjoyed their best sales month in nearly
ve years. And a resolution of the scal
cliff could lead businesses to buy more
industrial machinery and other heavy
equipment. That would generate more
manufacturing jobs.
The ground is being prepared for
faster growth, said Nigel Gault, an
economist at IHS Global Insight.
House GOP leader John Boehner said
Friday that the two sides had made little
progress in talks seeking a deal to steer
clear of the cliff.
The White House used Fridays mixed
jobs report as an argument to push
President Barack Obamas proposed
tax-rate increases for top earners, public
works spending and renancing help for
struggling homeowners.
Superstorm Sandy, contrary to expec-
tations, dampened job growth only min-
imally in November, the government
said. Job gains were roughly the same as
this years 150,000 monthly average,
and the unemployment rate fell two-
tenths of a percentage point to its lowest
level since December 2008.
That suggests that fears about the cliff
havent led employers to cut staff,
though they arent hiring aggressively,
either. The economy must produce
roughly twice Novembers job gain to
quickly lower the unemployment rate.
Fridays report included some dis-
couraging signs. Employers added
49,000 fewer jobs in October and
September combined than the govern-
ment had initially estimated. Monthly
job totals come from a survey of
140,000 companies and government
agencies, which together employ about
1 in 3 nonfarm workers in the United
States.
The unemployment rate, derived from
a separate survey of households, fell
because 229,000 people without jobs
stopped looking for work and so were
no longer counted as unemployed.
The household survey asks about
60,000 households whether the adults
have jobs and whether those who dont
are looking for one. Those without a job
who are seeking one are counted as
unemployed. Those who arent looking
arent counted as unemployed.
All told, 12 million people were
unemployed in November, about
230,000 fewer than the previous month.
Thats still many more than the 7.6 mil-
lion who were out of work when the
recession ofcially began in December
2007.
Job gains defy fears of fiscal cliff

WASHINGTON Federal regulators
are proposing automakers install event
data recorders better known as black
boxes in most new cars and trucks
despite privacy concerns.
The National Highway Trafc Safety
Administration proposal announced
Friday would apply to passenger vehi-
cles sold after Sept. 1, 2014, and weigh-
ing less than 8,500 pounds.
The agency is behind the curve.
Automakers have been tucking the
devices into cars for years. It automati-
cally records the actions of drivers and
the responses of their vehicles in a con-
tinuous information loop.
The idea is to gather information that
can help investigators determine the
cause of accidents and lead to safer vehi-
cles. But privacy advocates say govern-
ment regulators and automakers are
spreading an intrusive technology with-
out rst putting in place policies to pre-
vent misuse of the information collected.

IBM will begin making lump-sum
matching contributions to employees
401(k) accounts on an annual basis,
rather than contributing each time a
worker gets a paycheck.
Its a move that will help the technol-
ogy company cut costs. Experts say
other major employers could follow suit
because IBM is a large and generous
employee benets provider, and inuen-
tial in the benets eld.
IBM historically has distributed
matches to 401(k) accounts every other
week when employees are paid.
But spokesman Doug Shelton says
employees were notied this week that
contributions will be made just once
annually, at Dec. 31, beginning next
year.
Contribution amounts wont change.
But employees who leave IBM prior to
Dec. 15 in a calendar year wont be due
that years end-of-year lump-sum 401(k)
contribution, unless theyre retiring.
IBM shifts 401(k) policy to once-a-year matches
Apples softer side
emerges under CEO Cook
NEW YORK Those jobs arent coming back.
Thats what Steve Jobs reportedly told President Obama
when asked at a dinner in early 2011 whether Apple would
consider moving some of its manufacturing from China to
the United States.
Jobs successor, CEO Tim Cook, might have another
response for Obama: Yes, we can.
Though the metal edges of its PCs and mobile devices
are as sharp and severe as ever, Apple is emerging under
Cooks leadership as a kinder corporate citizen. Cooks
announcement this week that the company is moving the
production of one of its Mac computer lines to the U.S. is
just the latest step in a softening of the companys image
following the October 2011 death of CEO and co-founder
Jobs.

Cubs, Devils and United win titles
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The St. Dunstans fth grade Cubs boys
basketball played in the 38th annual San
Francisco Fire Department Flame Basketball
Tournament and behind some consistent
offense and a defense that kept opposing
teams guessing, the Cubs won the schools
rst title.
It was a challenge, said St. Dunstan assis-
tant coach Paco Parks. The main reason we
won was because the kids played together as a
team. They did everything we asked of them
and played to the best of their abilities.
The tournament consisted of 16 teams from
the Peninsula to the Marin area.
The competition was better than we
thought, Parks said. All the teams were pret-
ty equal throughout the tournament.
The Cubs, behind only a week of prepara-
tion, won their rst game against St. Brendan
42-29.
The Cubs played superb defense in the next
game against St. Anselm from Marin and won
39-12. They then followed that with a nail-
biter against St. James 33-32 that propelled
them to the tournaments championship game.
Parks said that win against St. James was
huge. Not only did they beat the best team in
the tournament but the victory gave the Cubs a
boost of condence heading into the champi-
onship game.
They were a hard team to beat, Parks said.
They were aggressive and werent afraid of
anything. St. James was denitely the team we
were most worried about.
In the championship game, played against
Holy Name at Kezar Pavillion, the Cubs put it
all together and took the title with a 38-27 win.
We played every team differently, Parks
said. The offensive strategy changed from
team to team. We played great defense and
that created a lot of points in transition.
Parks credits a lot of the teams success to
head coach Mike Salgado.
Hes pretty much the cornerstone of the
team, he said. Without him, the kids would-
nt have been even close to where they were.
He got the kids to play comfortable. Mike is
the reason we won the tournament.
The win marked the rst time St. Dunstan
school won a championship game in the upper
division.

SAN FRANCISCO Two years ago, both
the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers
wooed Jim Harbaugh to be their next coach.
The Niners won that courting competition and
landed their high-prole man, luring him away
from nearby Stanford and giving him a $25 mil-
lion, ve-year contract. And Harbaugh delivered
immediately by taking his new team to the NFC
championship game and
oh-so-close to a Super Bowl
as a rookie NFL coach.
Now, he has his 49ers (8-
3-1) poised for another
postseason run next month,
with Miami (5-7) next up
on the schedule come
Sunday at Candlestick Park.
As rarely as these teams
see each other being on
opposite coasts and playing in different confer-
ences, they certainly have pursued some of the
same faces most notably, of course, being
Harbaugh.
Then, last spring, 49ers quarterback Alex
Smith ew to South Florida for a visit with the
Dolphins during a time when San Francisco's
brass explored the possibility of signing Peyton
Manning.

At the start of the 2010 school year, a young
Lyman Faoliu from Vallejo High School
pulled into the College of San Mateo along
with 30 or so talented football players and
committed to the Bulldog Way.
We had high expectations with the talent
we had coming in, Faoliu said. We all gray-
shirted. We all decided to invest our lives here
at CSM. Not a lot of us made it. We came in
as 30 to 40 gray shirts and were down to like
15 to 20.
Those who remained, much like Faoliu, are
now seeing the fruits of their labor as the rst
group of Bulldogs signed letters of intent to
play football at the next level.
On Thursday, Faoliu welcomed Washington
State head coach Mike Leach to his home and
committed to being a Cougar.
I just really bought into his program and
what hes doing up there, Faoliu said. Hes
changing the whole culture at Washington
State. He brought in a good coaching staff that
will help change that culture and I would love
be a someone who starts the winning legacy at
Washington State.
At the beginning, Washington State wasnt
my top choice. Everyone knew Washington
State is a losing program and they have a lot
of work to do. In my mind, I wanted to be a
part of something thats already been set,
Faoliu said. But now for me, going up to
Washington State, and being the one to start
the legacy, I know that everyone remembers
those who begin the legacy. When you get to
see behind the scenes, and what theyve done
at Washington State ... its something that Ive
seen at CSM. I know its a recipe for success.
Faoliu isnt the only one signed to a big-
name Division I program. Nate Jackson, a
CSM cornerback, will play for Kansas State
next season.
Thats awesome for him, said Tim
Tulloch, CSM defensive coordinator and
assistant head coach. He loved his visit. He
had a really good time. He thought it was a
really good t. They do a really good job (at
Kansas State) of transitioning everything,
what they run ... . What they run defensively
scheme wise is a really good t for Nate and
takes advantage of his strengths.
The offers and visits keep coming for CSM.
For two weeks now, coaches from across the
country have made approximately 70 visits to
the Bulldog campus to have a closer look at
potential transfers.
And others like Tevita Lataimua (Hawaii),
Jerrell Brown (Idaho), Eric Tuipulotu (Idaho)

Toby Liebergesell scored only eight points
for the Aragon boys basketball team Friday
night, but it would be hard to argue there were
any bigger eight points in the game.
It was Liebergesell who came off the bench
in the second quarter and ignited an Aragon
rally as the Dons came back from a 13-point
decit to bury Burlingame in the champi-
onship game of the 36th annual Burlingame
Lions Club Tournament, 69-49, snapping the
Panthers run of three straight tournament
titles.
He came in with a spark, said Aragon
coach Sam Manu. Hes been struggling.
But it was Liebergesells hustle and heart
in addition to the four baskets that seemed
to re up a listless Aragon squad. Nothing was
falling for the Dons in the rst quarter and
early in the second as they fell behind 21-8
with 6:59 to play in the rst half. But the Dons
cranked up their pressure defense and the
Panthers wilted.
Alex Manu, who was named the tourna-
ments MVP, got things rolling for Aragon
with back-to-back baskets to cut the Dons
decit to 21-12. Kevin Hahn added a baseline
jumper before Liebergesell checked into the
game. After an airball on his rst shot, he was
a whirling dervish chasing after rebounds,
hounding Burlingame players and just playing
with a general abandon the Dons seemed to be
missing. His play rubbed off on the rest of his
teammates. He scored his rst points on a put-
back basket and a minute late he slashed to the
basket to cut the Burlingame lead to 25-18.
Those buckets fueled a 20-2 run by the Dons
over the nal 4:10 of the second quarter, turn-
ing a 21-8 decit into a 34-27 lead at halftime.
Aragon outscored Burlingame 26-10 in the
second quarter, forcing the Panthers into four
turnovers while stealing the ball away six
times.
We got on a roll, Manu said. Sometimes
momentum is hard to turn back. We rode that
for a while. You could tell the Burlingame kids
didnt know what hit them. We put it in anoth-
er gear.

LAS VEGAS The fact theyre much bigger than when they
rst met eight years ago is undeniable. Both Manny Pacquiao
and Juan Manuel Marquez have added bulk along with the
pounds, and both have had to deal with those who suspect they
didnt do it naturally.
Along with the ghters, the purses and attention have grown
as Pacquiao and Marquez meet Saturday night for the fourth
and presumably last time in the rivalry that has served both
ghters so well.
Marquez will try once again to do what he hasnt been able to
do in 36 evenly contested rounds against Pacquiao get a deci-
sion from the ringside scorecards. At the age of 39, its a ght
that may mean more to his legacy than his future career, which
is why its a ght he seems almost desperate to win.
All I ask is for the judges to be objective, Marquez said.
They need to really see what is happening in the ring instead of
what they think might be happening in the ring.
Pacquiao is not as desperate, but he needs a win just as badly.
He barely escaped with a majority decision over Marquez last
November a result that drew loud boos from the pro-Marquez
crowd and lost a widely panned decision to Timothy Bradley
his last time out.
A loss to Marquez would not only conrm the whispers that
he is slipping after 17 years as a pro, but perhaps derail for good
any talk of a ght against Floyd Mayweather Jr. that would be
boxings richest ever.
I have always been focused, but not like this ght, Pacquiao
said. There are no distractions in my mind. The family prob-
lems I had I dont have this time.
Neither ghter holds a title as they meet in a welterweight
ght that will make both even richer. Pacquiao is expected to
make more than $20 million by the time the pay-per-view
receipts are totaled, while promoter Bob
Arum said Marquez could make as much as
$6 million.
Its a far cry from 2004, when Pacquiao
and Marquez could barely ll half the arena,
and the money they made would barely pay
for one of their luxury cars today. The ght,
though, was plenty intriguing, with Pacquiao
coming off a win over Marco Antonio
Barrera that announced his entry into box-
ings elite and Marquez having stopped his
last 11 opponents.
It seemed a mismatch when Pacquiao
knocked his fellow 125-pounder down three
times in the rst round and Marquez barely
survived to hear the bell. But the Mexican
champion began a comeback in round 3,
dominating the late rounds on his way to a
disputed draw that foreshadowed what was
to come in the years ahead.
All three ghts Pacquiao won the last
two were so close they could have gone
either way. And had they gone the other
way, boxing history may have changed.
Pacquiao might not have gotten the ght with Oscar De La
Hoya that catapulted him to stardom in 2008 just nine months
after beating Marquez in a split decision in their second ght.
Marquez, meanwhile, might have become more than just an
opponent getting rich off the names of ghters who will be
judged better than him.
My career maybe changed, and everything would be differ-
ent, Marquez said. But I feel great what happened in the past
with Manny.
A fourth ght between two world class ghters is almost
unheard of in a day when top ghters rarely enter the ring more
than twice a year. Almost as astonishing is that they were spread
out over eight years and ve weight classes, yet Saturday nights
ght will still be a pay-per-view event that will likely draw more
than 1 million buys (HBO $59.95) across the country.
Pacquiao weighed in at the class limit of 147 pounds Friday,
while Marquez was 143 pounds.
If the old rules of boxing applied, Pacquiao would be ghting
a rematch with Bradley for the welterweight title he lost in June
in what most watching thought was one of the worst decisions
in recent years. But Bradley doesnt sell pay-per-views and
Marquez does, so hes on the sidelines as Pacquiao and the
Mexican opponent he knows so well battle for riches instead of
a crown.
As is the norm in the sport, the ght needs some controversy
to sell. This time its about Marquez bulking up in ways a 39-
year-old normally cant and the ties his strength coach has to
steroid scandals of the past.
Angel Guillermo Memo Heredia provided track athletes
like Marion Jones and Justin Gatlin with steroids and human
growth hormone, only to escape prosecution in the BALCO case
by agreeing to testify for the prosecution. He hotly denies using
anything with Marquez, claiming his ghter has bulked up only
because of an unorthodox strength and conditioning program he
designed for him.
Pacquiaos trainer, Freddie Roach, said Marquez didnt look
like a ghter who had naturally grown, prompting a threat of a
lawsuit by Heredia and denials by Marquez himself.
You can say anything you want but you have no proof,
Marquez said. Lets go together and Ill do any test you want.
Pacquiao, who himself was the target of suggestions by
Mayweathers camp that he used something to grow, said he
wasnt worried about it.
Lets give him credit for hard work, Pacquiao said. Its not
about size, its about how you function in the ring. Ive been
ghting bigger guys all my life.

NEW YORK NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said
Friday that he is out of ideas how to get negotiations back on
track to save the hockey season.
Talks fell apart on Thursday night amid back-and-forth accu-
sations, and the fallout was still being felt Friday. The two sides
had no contact with each other on the 83rd day of the owners
lockout of players.
I have no reason, nor any intention, of reaching out to the
union right now, Daly said in an email to The Associated Press.
I have no new ideas. Maybe they do. We are happy to listen.
If the players do have a suggestion, they havent offered it yet.
Their most recent proposal was turned down quickly on
Thursday by the NHL, which wanted a yes or no answer on
three specic conditions the league said were non-negotiable.
When the union tried to bargain the points, the meeting ended
abruptly.
That has left the NHLs labor situation in limbo.
All games have been canceled through Dec. 14, which is only
a week away, so more games will surely be wiped off the sched-
ule soon. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said Thursday that
he wont allow a season to be played that contains fewer than 48
games per team the length of the season that was played after
a lockout ended in January 1995.
If there isnt a resolution soon, Sidney Crosby appears ready
to nd a place to play elsewhere.
The Pittsburgh Penguins star wants to get back to work. He
said Friday the prospect of lacing up his skates in Europe is
growing more appealing as the lockout nears the three-month
mark. The breakdown in negotiations left Crosby disappoint-
ed and considering other opportunities.
I just want to play hockey, Crosby told reporters after an
informal workout with some of his teammates on Friday morn-
ing. As far as whatever option is best there, Ill start thinking of
it a lot more because this stuff is getting ridiculous.
Crosby was part of the players negotiating team over three
days in New York until the talks fell apart Thursday.
With no deal in the works, Crosby took a late-night ight back
to Pittsburgh wondering what else the players could have done
to move things along.
The lockout has become another setback in a maddening two
years for the games most popular player. The 2007 NHL MVP
and 2010 Olympic gold medalist has been limited to just 28
games since January 2011 due to a series of debilitating con-
cussions. He is healthy now and signed a 12-year contract exten-
sion last summer that would keep him in Pittsburgh until his
late-30s.

NEW YORK Notre Dame linebacker Manti
Teo was looking forward to a break after a ve-
city-in-ve-days tour, during which he has
become the most decorated player in college foot-
ball.
Im just trying to get a workout in and get some
sleep, he said Friday about his plans for the night.
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel
seemed to have more energy when he arrived at a
midtown Manhattan hotel with his fellow
Heisman Trophy nalist. In fairness, Johnny
Footballs week hasnt been nearly as hectic,
though this trip to New York city is different from
the rst time he visited with his family when he
was young.
Its just taking it up a whole nother level, but
happy to be here, he said.
Manziel and Teo spent about 30 minutes get-
ting grilled by dozens of reporters in a cramped
conference room, posed for some pictures with the
big bronze statue that they are hoping to win and
were quickly whisked away for more interviews
and photo opportunities.
Manziel, Teo or Collin Klein, the other nalists
who couldnt make it to town Friday, each has a
chance to be a Heisman rst Saturday night.
Manziel is trying to be the rst freshman to win
the award. Teo would be the rst winner to play
only defense. Klein would be Kansas States rst
Heisman winner.
Manziel and Teo were on the same ight from
Orlando, Fla., where several college football
awards were handed out last night. The 6-foot-1,
200-pound quarterback was just happy the 255-
pound linebacker didnt try to record another sack
when they met.
Hes a big guy, Manziel said, ashing a big
smile from under his white Texas A&M baseball
cap. I thought he might stuff me in locker and
beat me up a little bit.
The two hadnt had much time for sightseeing
yet, but they did walk around Times Square some,
saying hello to a few fans. They probably werent
too difcult to spot in their team issued warm-up
gear.
Weve just been talking about goofy stuff.
Playing video games. Playing Galaga. Just some
things from back in the day, Messing around
with each other, Manziel said. Kind of seeing
who is going to take more pictures. Hes denite-
ly taking that award right now.
Teo is already going to need a huge trophy case
to house his haul from this week. He has won six
major awards, including the Maxwell as national
player of the year. Hell try to become Notre
Dames eighth Heisman winner and rst since
Tim Brown in 1987.
I can only imagine how I would feel if I win
the Heisman, he said.
Charles Woodson of Michigan in 1997 is the
closest thing to a true defensive player winning the
Heisman. Woodson was a dominant cornerback,
but he also returned punts and played a little
receiver. That helped burnish his Heisman creden-
tials.
Teo is all linebacker. He leads the top-ranked
Fighting Irish with 103 tackles and seven inter-
ceptions.
Klein was the front-runner for the Heisman for
a good chunk of the season, but he played his
worst game late in the season in a loss at Baylor
and the momentum Manziel gained by leading
Texas A&M to victory at Alabama has been tough
to stop.
Teo, Manziel hit Manhattan with Heisman hopes
are in the middle of or have campus visits in
the near future.
If youre a player like Sione Sina, youre at
Washington State right now weighing your
options. Sina has already visited BYU,
Oregon and Texas A&M with his last visit still
in the air between Miami, LSU, Cal or UCLA.
By the end of the transfer window, Tulloch
expects 25 or so Bulldogs to move on to the
next level.
The big tribute is to the kids, Tulloch said.
Theyre doing such a great job as far as per-
forming on the eld but also doing a great job
in the classroom. The guys here, we stand on
the shoulders that came before us. Theyre
academically prepared, theyre physically pre-
pared. The other players, what theyve done,
the reputation perpetuates down to the next
group.
Its the classroom. Its the football, being
fundamentally prepared and ready. Its the
weight room, the strength, the speed and the
physical development. And then, the life
skills, making sure we care for each other and
we look out for each other and not put our-
selves in bad positions and bad spots.
Faoliu knows every single angle of the CSM
preparation.
Its like night and day, Faoliu said about
him now and the guy who drove up to the
CSM campus a couple of years ago. Coming
in here, I was pretty immature with what hard
work really is. CSM, its really helped me
become a man take responsibility of your
actions and be accountable on and off the eld
for everything you do. Just doing things the
right way and the little things will build up to
your overall success.
And now, Faoliu and the Bulldog Nation get
to witness the Blue and White spread through-
out the United States.
Its a really proud moment, to know how
blessed we are to play this game and that the
hard work is paying off, Faoliu said. I cant
describe how proud I am of these guys put-
ting CSM on the map more than they already
are. Its real nice. The fact that weve been
putting in work the last two years here, its a
really proud feeling to be a Bulldog for life.

Aragon continued its dominance in the third
quarter, outscoring the Panthers 17-6 to take a
commanding 51-33 lead going into the nal
eight minutes. In the third, Aragon picked up
where it left off in the second with Alex Manu
scoring a layup off a steal. He nished with a
game-high 20 points. A David Manoa bucket
put the Dons up 11, 38-27. Burlingame closed
to nine, 40-31, following a Nick Loew layup,
but the Dons all but put the Panthers away by
nishing the quarter on a 11-2 spurt.
Burlingame nally found its offense again a
bit in the fourth quarter, scoring 16 points
which equaled its production in the second
and third quarters combined. Loew, who n-
ished with a team-high 19 points, converted a
pair of three-point plays, while Tyler Paratte,
who nished with 13, added ve points.
In the rst quarter, it was Burlingame that
threatened to run away with the tournament
title. The Panthers attacked the basket and
Loew was basically unstoppable in the post,
scoring nine points in the rst eight minutes.
But it was downhill from there for the
Panthers.
For us, Burlingame is the bully. We respect
that, Manu said. If you want to make a state-
ment, you have to go through this town
(Burlingame).

CAIRO Egypt postponed early voting on
a contentious draft constitution, and aides to
President Mohammed Morsi oated the pos-
sibility of canceling the whole referendum in
the rst signs Friday that the Islamic leader is
nally yielding to days of protests and deadly
street clashes.
Tens of thousands marched on the presiden-
tial palace after pushing past barbed wire
fences installed by the army and calling for
Morsi to step down. Thousands also camped
out in Tahrir Square, birthplace of the uprising
that toppled Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
A spokesman for Morsis Muslim
Brotherhood urged the groups supporters to
practice self-restraint after hundreds gath-
ered in front of a mosque near the presidential
palace. He appealed for them not to march to
the palace and to avoid confrontation.
The announcement by the election commit-
tee head Ismail Hamdi to delay early voting
on the charter came as a surprise, and it was
difcult to predict whether it will lead to a
breakthrough in the political crisis.
The presidents aides said the move would
ease some pressure and would provide room
for negotiations with the opposition.
But Morsis opponents have rejected talks,
saying he must rst cancel the referendum
and meet other demands. Late Friday, an
opposition umbrella group called for an open-
ended sit-in in front of the presidential palace.
The crisis began Nov. 22, when Morsi
issued a decree that gave him absolute powers
and immunity from judicial oversight. It deep-
ened when he called for a Dec. 15 national
referendum on the draft constitution hurriedly
produced by the Islamist-led constituent
assembly. The draft was infused with articles
that liberals fear would pave the way for
Islamizing Egypt.
Legal Affairs Minister Mohammed
Mahsoub said the administration was weigh-
ing several proposals including calling off
the referendum and returning it to the con-
stituent assembly for changes. Another possi-
bility was disbanding the constituent assem-
bly and forming a new one, either by direct
vote or an agreement among the political
forces.
We have a big chance tomorrow,
Mahsoub told the Qatari-based Al-Jazeera
network, referring to what he said was a meet-
ing between Morsi and political forces.
There are no deadlines or referendums out-
side the country. Tomorrow or day after, we
might reach a good agreement.
Vice President Mahmoud Mekki also told
the broadcaster that he had contacted leading
democracy advocate Mohamed ElBaradei to
join Morsi in a dialogue. ElBaradei leads the
newly formed National Salvation Front, a
group of liberals and youths who opposed
Morsis decrees and led the protests in Cairo.
In a televised speech, ElBaradei made clear
the oppositions demands: cancellation of the
declaration that Morsi used to give himself
immunity from judicial oversight and post-
ponement of the referendum.
The people are angry because they feel
their rights have been raped, ElBaradei said
on the ONTV network. If he takes these
decisions, he will be opening the door for dia-
logue. I hope he is listening.

Parker said. It feels good in there. You get a
close customer experience.
With the holiday shopping season in full
swing, Keith Schumacker, general manager at
Talbots, is hoping that feeling is shared by
many a San Mateo County shopper.
The exciting part about our toy and hobby
department is its always changing,
Schumacker said.
Talbots works year-round to make sure its
selection of toys exceeds that of the chains
like Toys R Us and Target by attending two
or three toy fairs nationwide throughout the
year.
Theres one in February in New York City
and thats the International Toy Fair,
Schumacker said. (It) is the largest toy fair in
the United States, its just incredible. Its two
complete oors; it takes place at the Jacob
Javits Center and its three or four days of non-
stop toys.
According to their respective websites Top
Toys lists for 2012, both Toys R Us and
Target share ve of the same toys: Furby,
Lalaloopsy Silly Hair Star Doll, Leap Frog
Leap Pad2 Explorer Learning Tablet, race car
tracks and LEGOs.
The nice thing we do to make us different
from a Toys R Us or Target is when we do
go to these shows we look at things that they
dont carry, Schumacker said. So far, were
seeing a number of different trends ll up.
One of the biggest ones we have right now is
something called Beanie Ballz, Schumacker
said. Theyre made by Ty, the folks that did
the Beanie Babies. Its about a 12- or 18-inch
round ball in the shape of a penguin or dol-
phin and little girls are running around hold-
ing these things. They use them as pillows and
little friends they carry around.
According to Schumacker, Beanie Ballz is
turning out to be one of the most popular
items this season.
Another popular item Talbots is carrying
this season is a scooter made by Micro. Unlike
other scooters on the market this season,
Micro scooters can be taken to skate parks
where its riders can do fancy tricks like 360
degree spins and ips.
They (Micro) do a mini and a maxi type
scooter, which is a three-wheeled scooter, so it
will help with the stability with younger kids,
all the way up to their $200 two-wheeled
scooters that teenagers can ride around on,
Schumacker said. Its kind of like a Razor
scooter but more trick-oriented.
Toys R Us is selling a Y-Volution YFliker
Scooter this season but it is different than the
Micro scooter because it is not trick-oriented.
The YFliker is also three-wheeled but its
movement is dependent on the rider self-pro-
pelling themselves side to side. Both scooters
come in different sizes for children through
adult.
Schumacker also believes the basics will be
popular this season. Barbies, LEGOs, books
and train sets will all be available at Talbots
throughout the holidays.
Unlike Toys R Us and Target which offer
seasonal promotions, Talbots will not offer
any big discounts this holiday season.
However, as a local store, you can nd they
choose instead to engage with the community
by participating in school shopping weeks
throughout the year and working with chari-
ties such as InnVision Shelter Network during
the holidays.
Another selling point is Talbots offers free
gift wrap. So if youre going to a birthday
party and need a gift, you can run in and buy
a gift and theyll wrap it or free, Parker said.
Also, you dont need a gift receipt. They put
a sticker on it and you can bring it back.
Theyre really good with returns.
Talbots will extend their shopping hours
this season from 9:30 a.m. through 9 p.m. on
select weeks.

Shaq shoots
for comedy
By John Carucci
NEW YORK With his latest endeavor, Shaquille ONeal now considers
himself the Pat Riley of comedy.
The four-time NBA champion likens himself to the famed
basketball coach with his ability to pick the right comedi-
ans for his All Star Comedy Jam.
Humor is a big way to relieve stress, so me being a
great leader and being an expert at organizational lead-
ership, I could pick a team, I could pick a street ball
team, I could pick a kickball team, I denitely could
pick comedians, ONeal said.
ONeal said he wanted provide a forum for
comics similar to Russell Simmons Def Comedy
Jam. He was a big fan of the HBO series that
launched the careers of Dave Chappelle, Martin
Lawrence, Bernie Mac, Chris Tucker and others.
But ONeal said his revue isnt just about
black comedy.
I am not biased. Even though Im African-
American, even though Im urban, I dont just
like urban comedy, ONeal said. The guy
Jeff Foxworthy thats some of the best
comedy ever You know youre a red-
neck. I can relate to that because I went to
school in Louisiana and Texas.
The All Star Comedy Jam has a line-
up that has featured Finesse Mitchell and
Gary Owen. The tour ends on New Years
Eve in Atlanta.
One of the comedians ONeal is high-
lighting on the tour is the Bronx-born
Capone.
This guy right now here is the LeBron (James).
Hes the closer, ONeal said proudly as he patted the
comedian on the back.
The drug dealer-turned-comedian says he always had the gift.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat is a popular choice for communi-
ty theaters because it has a large cast, includ-
ing a childrens chorus, and some catchy
music all surere draws for an audience.
Hillbarn Theatre capitalizes on these assets for
its production, then adds some more of its own
in the form of lots of good singing and danc-
ing.
Joseph was the rst publicly performed
musical collaboration between composer
Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice,
who began work on it in 1968 and recorded it
as a concept album in 1969. It underwent var-
ious changes until its West End premiere in
1973. In the meantime, the two created the
successful Jesus Christ Superstar in 1970
and in 1976 went on to create Evita, their
best work. Even though Joseph is a musical
mashup of styles ranging from rock to calyp-
so and country, one can hear some of Lloyd
Webbers signature riffs.
The large Hillbarn cast, skillfully directed
by Nancy Fitzgerald-Metzler, is led by Noel
Anthony in the title role of Joseph, one of 12
sons of Jacob (Bob Fitzgerald) in this Old
Testament story. Because Joseph was Jacobs
favorite, the other brothers were so jealous
that they sold Joseph into slavery and
destroyed the colorful coat Jacob had given
him. Joseph then underwent numerous travails

the universities decisions of acceptance or
denial. But this time period can, and often
does, mean a lot less to students intending to
attend community colleges after high school
because it has little to no effect on future col-
lege admittance plans.
Keea Khalili is a senior at Carlmont High
School who plans to attend Caada
Community College or Foothill Community
College after graduation. For Khalili, com-
munity college is a better t because he can
be close to his family, continue playing soc-
cer, as he is a defensive midelder for the
schools team, and most of all save money
what seems a common goal for many.
According to californicacommunitycol-
leges.cccco.edu, the California Community
College Chancellors Ofce website, the
revenue needed to support one full-time com-
munity college student is slightly more than
$5,000 per year, a statistic making commu-
nity colleges more and more appealing each
year as tuition at California universities rise
(the average 2012-13 UC attendee pays
$13,200 in tuition and fees for one school
year, according to admission.universityofcali-
fornia.edu).
Khalili said, despite his plans to go to
Caada or Foothill, he is going to study hard
for nals, especially in a class where he has
an 88 percent in hopes of raising the grade to
an A. He is not letting the application sea-
son dampen his spirits, as many future com-
munity college attendees have done in the
past and are currently doing now. It is com-
mon for students to feel as if they are miss-
ing out by not going to a university immedi-
ately after graduation, but this is silly.
When Khalili was asked about the students
and friends who have lately been speaking
about going away to universities, he said,
Im not bitter or anything like that. Im
happy for them, especially if theyre my
friends. Good for them.
The decision to attend a community col-
lege has just as many benets as attending a
four-year university rst. It allows a student
to really experience what they want to do
with their careers and try different things
without the pressure of wasting time at
$13,200 per year fee. It also allows students
to mature before going to college; typically,
it is within the rst two years that students
fortify their study habits as well as goals for
their future, hopefully leading to a more
focused individual.
However, I think the most helpful aspect of
attending a community college rst is it gives
students the opportunity to maintain a solid
grade point average. In the process of accli-
mating ones self to a new town, new friends
and new home, it is common for university
students to show their struggles through their
GPA. Whereas community college students
can build up a solid GPA and enter a univer-
sity with a solid academic background prov-
ing useful well after graduation.
Students should not feel as if they are
missing out, but rather take an approach like
Khalili and take joy in others happiness as
well as the fact that, in some ways, commu-
nity college students have an advantage over
those who attend universities for four years.

interpreting his dreams. Eventually all turned
out well, of course.
The story is mainly told by the Narrator,
played by Lindsay Stark, who sings well and
has a charismatic stage presence. Anthony
also has good stage presence as Joseph, but he
has some pitch problems in his higher range.
Choreography by Brandy Mieszkowski is
one of the shows highlights. The choral
singing also is good, as overseen by musical
director Greg Sudmeier. The singers are
accompanied by recorded music.
The playground set designed by Steve
Nyberg helps set the tone for this mostly play-
ful show. It also serves as a good place for the
18-member childrens chorus to perch. The
costumes, a mix of modern and quasi-biblical,
are by Carolann Towe. Don Coluzzis lighting
is busy in spots, especially near the end, while
Alan Changs sound design is too loud.
Overall, though, its a fun show, one that has

But he says that being funny wasnt
enough. I made the transformation from not
wanting to be a drug dealer anymore and turn-
ing to comedy.
After struggling for years on the circuit,
Capone nally got his break.
For somebody like Shaq to recognize that

Though his passion is comedy, ONeal is
still involved in basketball as an NBA ana-

ONeal isnt shy to speak his mind: Before
the season started, he said Los Angeles
Lakers newly acquired center Dwight
Howard wasnt the games most dominant at
his position.
ONeal caught a lot of ak for the com-
ment, but stands by what he said.
Hes taking it personal, but I want him to
get mad so he can dominate, ONeal said of
Howard. You push your employees buttons
and either they go to the next level or they
decline.
While brazen and often funny on television,
dont expect ONeal to get up on a comedy
stage anytime soon.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
By Judy Richter
If youre like many people, watching
Its a Wonderful Life on television is
probably one of your favorite holiday
traditions. Even if youve seen it
umpteen times, you never get tired of
this story about the triumph of good
over evil, the emphasis on whats truly
important and the far-reaching impact
that one persons actions can have.
Marin Theatre Company dramatizes
these simple truths in its production of
Its a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio
Play. Adapted by Joe Landry from
director Frank Capras now-classic
film, this version takes place in a New
York City radio studio on Christmas
Eve, 1946. Five actors portray actors
who create all of the characters as well
as the sound effects and commercials
in front of a live studio (theater) audi-
ence.
In this production, well-directed by
Jon Tracy, Gabriel Marin stars as
George Bailey, the character created by
James Stewart in the 1946 film. His
wife, Mary, the Donna Reed role, is
played by Sarah Overman. Carrie Paff
plays all of the other female characters,
while Patrick Kelly Jones and Michael
Gene Sullivan portray the other male
characters.
Set in the small town of Bedford
Falls shortly after the end of World War
II, the story revolves around the night
that George, discouraged that his bank
is about to go under, considers commit-
ting suicide. Instead, hes distracted by
his guardian angel, Clarence (Jones),
whos dispatched from heaven to earn
his wings by saving George.
He does so by showing George all
the bad things that would have hap-
pened if hed never been born. In short,
many people would be a lot worse off,
and Bedford Falls would have been
taken over by the greedy, heartless Mr.
Potter (Sullivan). But before Clarence
descends to Earth, he learns about
Georges early life, his dreams and the
reality of how he came so close to end-
ing it all.
While Marin and Overman play only
one role each, the other three actors
have a chance to display their versatili-
ty. Since we first meet Paff as Violet,
the town flirt, costume designer Callie
Floor has outfitted her in a flattering,
form-fitting dress. Nevertheless, it
serves her well as Paff portrays little
girls as well as older women.
Jones is notable as Clarence, the low-
key guardian angel, while Sullivan
appears as some of the older men,
including Mr. Potter and befuddled
Uncle Billy. Overman is sweetly
appealing as Mary. Marin does a credi-
ble job as George, but he can become
too loud and overwrought, especially
near the end.
Besides acting and creating sound
effects, the actors sing music by com-
poser and sound designer Chris
Houston. Eric Sinkkonens set, com-
plemented by Michael Palumbos light-
ing, is a cluttered radio studio complete
with Applause and On the Air
signs.
This two-act, 105-minute production
is a great way to see a holiday favorite
in a new light and to enjoy watching
some of the Bay Areas best actors. It
continues at Marin Theatre Company,
397 Miller Ave., Mill Valley, through
Dec. 16. For tickets and information

Long-sealed Notorious B.I.G. autopsy released
LOS ANGELES An attorney for the family of Notorious

to the spotlight after coroners ofcials released a long-sealed
autopsy report.
The report revealed that injuries cause by a single bullet killed
the rapper, whose real name was Christopher Wallace, during a
drive-by shooting in March 1997. Wallace was hit by four bullets
after leaving a music industry event, but one that hit his heart, left
lung and colon caused his death, the 23-page report states.

Hospital: Nurse involved in
Middleton hoax call dies
By Danica Kirka and Cassandra Vinograd
LONDON The news that Prince William and the former
Kate Middleton were expecting their rst child joyous
news for a couple looking forward to starting a family
immediately turned bittersweet with the simultaneous
announcement that the duchess was being hospitalized for
acute morning sickness. Then there was an invasion of her
privacy by two disc jockeys who impersonated Queen
Elizabeth II and Prince Charles to gain information on her
condition.
By Friday, the sadness merely deepened, with the news that
the nurse who unwittingly took the hoax call had died.
The royal couple quickly issued a statement expressing
their condolences over the death of Jacintha Saldanha, the 46-
year-old mother of two duped by the Australian DJs, who had
suddenly found herself at the vortex of a global incident. They
stressed they had not complained about the hoax call, and
indeed offered praise for the staff. The hospital, too, stressed
that Saldanha had not been reprimanded.
And yet the week can only be described as tragic, with the
happiness so tarnished by the latest developments.
Saldanha was found dead early Friday at apartments afli-
ated with King Edward VII hospital in central London, where
she worked for four years.
Police didnt release a cause of death, but said they didnt
nd anything suspicious. A coroner will make a determination
on the cause.
2DayFM, the Australian station that performed the prank
early Tuesday, said in a statement posted on Facebook and
Twitter that the two disc jockeys, Mel Greig and Michael
Christian, would not return to the station until further notice.
They had apologized for the hoax Wednesday.
A spokeswoman for the station did not return messages
seeking further comment. Greig and Christians Twitter
accounts were deactivated following the news of Saldanhas
death.
Jewish outreach organization, has invit-
ed the public to celebrate the holiday
with the lighting of a grand menorah in
Courthouse Square.
The eight-night holiday begins
Saturday evening. The menorah lighting
is Monday, Dec. 10 from 5:15 p.m.-6:45
p.m. and will include a variety of festive
entertainment including a live DJ, latkes
and doughnuts, holiday giveaways, a
professional re juggler, arts and crafts
and the traditional candle-lighting cere-
mony. Last years honored guest,
Redwood City Mayor Alicia Aguirre, is
scheduled to attend again this year along
with other Jewish dignitaries and com-
munity leaders.
Chabad MidPen is just one of 3,000
centers worldwide (25 of which are
located in the Bay Area) that foster
Jewish and social services. In this capac-
ity, Chabad hosts Shabbat celebrations,
Jewish education and holiday programs
like public menorah lighting ceremonies
across the globe. Sites vary from the
White House lawn and the streets of
midtown Manhattan to Union Square in
San Francisco and malls and parks from
coast to coast.
Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration
commemorating the re-dedication of the
Temple in Jerusalem, following the
Jews victory over the ancient Assyrian-
Greek Empire who sought to prevent
them from practicing their faith. In keep-
ing with the spirit of hope and freedom
from religious persecution, crowds have
gathered in Courthouse Square for the
past two years to observe the lighting of
the grand nine-foot tall menorah on
Broadway. Last years celebration drew
more than 300 people, doubling the
amount at Redwood Citys inaugural
Chanuka Festival.
We are here to help people celebrate
the holiday, said Rabbi Levi Potash,
director of Chabad MidPen.
Potash hopes to see even more mem-
bers of the local community this year.
Since he moved to the Bay Area and
established the Mid-Peninsula branch of
Chabad with his wife, Ella, more than a
decade ago, he has happily witnessed
local support for the organization grow.
He is excited to share the wishes and sol-
idarity of the season with Redwood City
Dec. 10.
The signicance of Hanukkah today
is a reconrmation of faith and hope,
Potash said in a press release. Redwood
Citys public menorah lighting pro-
claims the universal message of reli-
gious freedom and tolerance, so critical
in light of todays world situation. In
ancient times our ancestors rededicated
the temple in Jerusalem with the meno-
rah. Today, we rededicate ourselves to
making this world a better and brighter
place. We look forward to welcoming
everyone at a warm and happy celebra-
tion.

HANUKKAH
term involving civil rights in decades. In
the area of racial discrimination, the jus-
tices already have agreed to decide cases
on afrmative action in admission to col-
lege and a key part of the Voting Rights
Act. The gay marriage cases probably
will be argued in March and decisions in
all the courts cases are likely by the end
of June.
The order from the court extends a
dizzying pace of change regarding gay
marriage that includes rapid shifts in pub-
lic opinion, President Barack Obamas
endorsement in May and votes in Maine,
Maryland and Washington in November
to allow gay couples to marry. Same-sex
couples in Washington began picking up
marriage licenses on Thursday.
Yet even as gay marriage is legal, or
soon will be, in nine states
Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New York and Vermont are
the others and the District of
Columbia, it is banned by the state con-
stitutions of 30 others. In Hawaii, a con-
stitutional amendment gives the legisla-
ture the power to dene marriage as
between a man and a woman, and it has
done so. Federal courts in California have
struck down the states constitutional ban
on same-sex marriage, but that ruling and
thus gay unions remain on hold while the
issue is being appealed.
The high courts decision to hear the
federal benet question was a virtual cer-
tainty because several lower courts
struck down the provision of the 1996
law and the justices almost always step in
when lower courts invalidate a federal
law.
There is nothing that compelled a simi-
lar response from the court in the case
over Californias Proposition 8, the state
constitutional ban on gay marriage that
voters adopted in 2008 after the state
Supreme Court ruled that gay
Californians could marry. Indeed, the gay
marriage supporters who prevailed in the
lower courts urged the Supreme Court to
stay out of the case and allow same-sex
unions to resume in the nations largest
state.
Even some gay rights activists worried
that it was too soon in the evolution of
views toward same-sex marriage to ask
the justices to intervene and declare that
same-sex couples have the same right to
marry as heterosexuals. But Theodore
Olson, the Washington lawyer who repre-
sents Californians who sued over
Proposition 8, said he will argue that
there is a fundamental constitutional
right to marry for all citizens.

by her frustration with San Mateos treatment
of her lower socioeconomic section of the
city. Her momentum to keep her neighbor-
hood clean, green, equitable and neat
steered her toward community activism,
Mack said. She started within her neighbor-
hood by frequently standing on street corners
and lending her presence to dissuade people
from selling drugs, Mack said. She quickly
discovered that involvement was key to inu-
encing change.
Mack nds inspiration in her local commu-
nity and incorporates places, events and c-
tional interpretations of her fellow San Mateo
residents into her novels. Imitation of Life:
The Next Millennium started out as a pseu-
do biography of her friend Kathy Luzzi of
Kathys Kreative Kakes, Mack said.
However, after watching the movie Imitation
of Life, Mack became perturbed over the
racial and gender inequalities portrayed in the
lm, Mack said.
The movie made me so angry, that rather
than rant and rave about it, I decided to
write, Mack said.
Mack melded Luzzis story into her modern
interpretation of the lm, subsequently creat-
ing to two headstrong characters that are the
stars of her ensuing novels. Sister Samms and
Sister Johnson are two elderly black church
ladies whose gossipy nature places them as
beacons amidst the towns operations.
Sister Samms and Sister Johnson are lack-
ing in formal higher education, yet they make
up for it in motherwit, plain-old common
knowledge, Mack said. Regardless of their
upbringing, the two women exhibit strength
and effect positive change in their communi-
ty, Mack said. Interpretations of Macks per-
sonal achievements and her sentiment toward
gender equality are sprinkled throughout the
novel.
I dont want to be an afterthought to any-
body. And there is no man in this country,
white, black, yellow or gray, that is superior
to my sisterhood, Mack said.
Mack recalls our societys slight changes in
equal pay for equal work and in recent years,
she said, there was not only a glass ceiling,
there was lead.
But arriving at true equality necessitates
more progression and she hopes her readers
will ascertain this conviction.
I just feel that theres so much more
women can do, and these two women embody
that, Mack said.
Coinciding with her two leading women are
colorful characters such as Brother Aint I
Still Handsome and Sister Dont Sit in My
Pews. Most of the characters in her novels
speak with an inection that many see as
indicative of mindlessness, Mack said.
We put down people in our country that
speak with Southern accents; so Im glorify-
ing, in a way, a different way of speaking,
Mack said.
Yet during the initial Ebonics movement
when improper English started to be taught in
schools, Mack appeared on local television
shows to ght against it.
Its perfectly alright to speak anyway you
want to. But for me, speaking English in that
manner can be crippling. When you go to
work you want to speak the language of the
country, Mack said.
Her views have become less fundamental
over the years. She continues to adhere to the
importance of proper grammar in profession-
al circumstances, but discourages a parallel
between speaking with a little avor and
ignorance. The dening factor of language is
the ability to communicate; so as long as
youre understood, theres nothing wrong
with the way you speak in my estimation,
Mack said.
The wisdom and success of characters
Sister Samms and Sister Johnson arent over-
shadowed by their Southern accents. The
novel illustrates the profound effect individu-
als can have in their communities and in the
makings of the country.
The National Anthem ts every part of this
country, no matter how its sung. If you speak
with an inection in tone when youre speak-
ing English, it ts. Because thats what its
about, its reflective of everyone whos
touched it, Mack said.
Macks novels are an homage to people in
my life who spoke differently but were
accomplished human beings, Mack said.
Although her books culminate with sincere
political and social themes, Macks writings
are lighthearted and entertaining.
Im writing contemporary bubble gum for
the brain, Mack said.
Mack has already nished writing her third
and fourth novel and is in the process of n-
ishing the fth in this saga of two goofy San
Mateo residents. Shes poured her ideals,
experiences and creativity into producing
enjoyable pieces of literature that encourage
personal and social reection.
Dont judge a book by its cover; read the
book, try to learn something. Just because
your neighbor speaks with an accent doesnt
mean theyre not worth knowing, Mack said.
When people read my book, I hope theyll
learn about something they didnt know. I
hope theyre going to laugh a lot and cry a lit-
tle.
Immitation of Life: The Next Millennium
and Sister Samms and Sister Johnson can
be ordered online through Amazon.com,
Xlibris.com and Barnes and Noble. Mack will
be performing a reading of Sister Samms
and Sister Johnson 7 p.m. Jan. 25 at the

MACK
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your talent for
acquisition will be excellent, but, sadly, you might
use your windfall for extravagant purchases. Its
doubtful that much will remain in your wallet.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although you may
be extremely motivated to advance your interests,
theres a chance that persons whom you draw into
your affairs will fare far better than you do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you are unable or
unwilling to focus exclusively on your prime objectives,
success is likely to elude you. Dont let personal
situations distract you from your honorable goals.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Take care not to
be drawn into a silly debate with a close friend
over who does more for the other. Its one of those
subjects that can never produce a winner.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Good old-fashioned
logical thinking is likely to be far superior to the
slapdash conceptions of a colleague. Dont let a
forceful know-it-all intimidate you into making a
mistake.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It isnt likely that youll
work well under pressure, so, if you can, schedule
your assignments in a manner that will allow you to
handle them effciently in due time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You could do very well
in a commercial situation if you dont allow those
who dont belong to interfere. Itll be up to you to
limit participation to people who are directly involved.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Proper timing is what
will make a difference between success and failure
for you. Dont try to fnalize things prematurely;
allow matters to develop as they should.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If youre a careless listener,
theres a possibility youll fnd yourself offended by
what another says when no ill will was intended.
Dont jump to conclusions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The best way to avoid
extremes in your social involvements is to not
spend more for a good time than you should, avoid
overindulgence and keep all your outings brief.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you fnd it diffcult
to separate some past experiences from what is
happening currently, its likely to cause you to hold a
grudge over something quite silly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Although certain
channels of communication might be open to you,
dont use them only for social purposes, which
might be gratifying, but would prove completely
unproductive.
