Another year, another batch of
new laws.
As the state prepares to ring in
2013 with the rest of the world,
California residents should be get-
ting ready for new legislation that
signicantly changes juvenile sen-
tencing laws, protects students and
job seekers from sharing private
passwords and
tries expanding
the transparency
of government.
Thanks to the
efforts of San
Mateo County
legislators, dupli-
cate contracting
services have
been eliminated,
transit districts can enforce parking
rules, motorists are better equipped to
challenge red light camera tickets and
women will be informed if they have
dense breast tissue.
All of the new laws are based on
legislation passed in 2011 and signed
by Gov. Jerry Brown by the end of
September. Unless otherwise speci-
ed, each become effective Jan. 1.

In the remote reaches of Foster
City, a new coffee shop has opened
that serves much more than just caf-
feinated beverages it also serves
as a place of inspiration for those
who want to bring peace and har-
mony to the world.
Owned by Aileen Glasgow, the
See U Cafe at Beach Park Plaza has
become a regular meeting place for
the nonprot Silicon Valley Women
Federation. The federation is com-
prised of nearly 2,000 Bay Area
women, mostly Chinese, who want
to give back to the community both
locally and across the globe.
About 30 of the women met
Wednesday night to discuss what
charitable events they next want to
support and how to best promote
Chinese culture.
They also had a lively time as the
cafe stays open late with karaoke
and serves beer and wine.
Glasgow opened the See U Cafe
about three months ago, with help
from husband, Eric, after her many
female friends bemoaned the lack of

Obama invites
congressional
leaders to talks
Deadline
looming
By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON A deadline
looming, President Barack Obama
will meet with congressional leaders
at the White House on Friday in
search of a compromise to avoid a
year-end scal cliff of across-the-
board tax increases and deep spend-
ing cuts.
The devel-
o p m e n t
capped a day
of growing
urgency in
which Obama
returned early
from a
H a w a i i a n
vacation while
l a wma k e r s
snarled across a partisan divide over
responsibility for gridlock on key
pocketbook issues. Speaker John
Boehner called the House back into
session for a highly unusual Sunday
evening session.
Adding to the woes confronting
the middle class was a pending spike
of $2 per gallon or more in milk
prices if lawmakers failed to pass
farm legislation by years end.
Four days before the deadline, the
White House disputed reports that
Obama was sending lawmakers a
scaled-down plan to avoid the scal
cliff of tax increases and spending

Ron and Jeanne Berg have seen
their rent climb 99 percent at the
Hillsdale Garden Apartments since
2006 after a corporate buyer bought
the 697-unit complex from the
McCarthy family, who owned the
property for 50 years.
They currently pay $1,791 a
month for their two-bedroom apart-
ment, one they have leased for
decades, but only bring in about
$1,555 a month in government sub-
sidies.
In 2006, the couple paid just $900
a month for the same unit but expect
when their current lease expires at
the end of January, the rent will go
past the $2,000 mark, far beyond the
couples reach.

Man gets DUI after driving
on AA co-founders lawn
DORSET, Vt. Vermont State Police
say a man faces a drunken driving charge
after driving onto the lawn of a historic
home once owned by the co-founder of
Alcoholics Anonymous.
Police say 55-year-old Donald Blood
III of Marlborough, Mass., was ordered
to appear in court in Bennington on Jan.
14.
Police say Blood thought he was driv-
ing into a parking lot, but actually it was
the lawn of the Wilson House, built in
1852 in Dorset, the birthplace of AA co-
founder Bill Wilson.
The Wilson Houses website describes
it as a place of sanctuary where people
can come to give thanks to God for their
new lives.
It still hosts several AA meetings each
week.
Good Samaritan finds
ring on snowy highway
KINGVALE Finding a lost wed-
ding ring along a snowy highway is hard
enough. But a Good Samaritan in
Northern California also has to track
down the man it belongs to.
Douglas Benedetti says he met the
man but doesnt know his name or phone
number.
Benedetti says the man was searching
for the ring on the shoulder of Interstate
80 near Kingvale in the Sierra earlier this
month. He told Benedetti hed lost the
ring while putting chains on his vehicle.
Benedetti, who installs chains for peo-
ple on the highway, decided to return to
the area hours after the man left. After a
little less than an hour of searching, he
came across the ring in the snow next to
a semi-truck.
Benedetti wants to return the ring. But
all he has to go on is its inscription:
Lisa, 5th June, 2010.
College students turtle
project takes dark twist
CLEMSON, S.C. Clemson
University student Nathan Weaver set out
to determine how to help turtles cross the
road. He ended up getting a glimpse into
the dark souls of some humans.
Weaver put a realistic rubber turtle in
the middle of a lane on a busy road near
campus. Then he got out of the way and
watched over the next hour as seven driv-
ers swerved and deliberately ran over the
animal. Several more apparently tried to
hit it but missed.
Ive heard of people and from friends
who knew people that ran over turtles.
But to see it out here like this was a bit
shocking, said Weaver, a 22-year-old
senior in Clemsons School of
Agricultural, Forest and Environmental
Sciences.
To seasoned researchers, the practice
wasnt surprising.
The number of box turtles is in slow
decline, and one big reason is that many
wind up as roadkill while crossing the
asphalt, a slow-and-steady trip that can
take several minutes.
Sometimes humans feel a need to
prove they are the dominant species on
this planet by taking a two-ton metal
vehicle and squishing a defenseless crea-
ture under the tires, said Hal Herzog, a
Western Carolina University psychology
professor.
They arent thinking, really. It is not
something people think about. It just
seems fun at the time, Herzog said. It is
the dark side of human nature.
Herzog asked a class of about 110 stu-
dents getting ready to take a final
whether they had intentionally run over a
turtle, or been in a car with someone who
did. Thirty-four students raised their
hands, about two-thirds of them male,
said Herzog, author of a book about
humans relationships with animals,
called Some We Love, Some We Hate,
Some We Eat.
Weaver, who became interested in ani-
mals and conservation through the Boy
Scouts and TVs Crocodile Hunter
Steve Irwin, wants to gure out the best
way to get turtles safely across the road
and keep the population from dwindling
further.
Among the possible solutions: turtle
underpasses or an education campaign
aimed at teenagers on why drivers
shouldnt mow turtles down.

A former intellectual property lawyer with
two DUI convictions in the past eight years
already was sentenced yesterday to eight
months in jail for trying to bribe a Colma cop
to avoid a possible third.
Richard Chae, 39, was convicted in
November 2011 of misdemeanor drunk driv-
ing by one jury and bribery by a second in
June after the rst deadlocked on the count.
On Thursday, Chae received four months in
jail on each count followed by three years of
supervised probation. His drivers license was
revoked for three years.
The judge made some excellent choices in
sentencing, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Chaes sentence comes nearly three years
after the incident in question.
Colma police pulled Chaes Lexus over just
before 3 a.m. Feb. 26, 2010 on the 400 block
of Serramonte Boulevard and ofcers sus-
pected he was drunk.
Chae offered the ofcers $900 in his pock-
et if this could all go away, Wagstaffe said.
When the ofcers declined, Chae allegedly
increased the offer to
$5,000 and then $25,000.
Police then arrested him
on suspicion of driving
while under the inuence
and bribery. During a
search of his person, of-
cers reported finding
$1,055 in cash and $135 in
chips from the Lucky
Chances casino.
Chaes blood alcohol level was tested at
0.13 percent.
Prosecutors opted to retry Chae after the
rst jury deadlocked 8-4 because the original
judge had not allowed into evidence a state-
ment given to the ofcer but not included in
his report, Wagstaffe said.
The judge in the second case ruled other-
wise.
Chae was admitted to the California Bar in
2003 but is currently not eligible to practice
law, according to the bar. He was given an
interim suspension Oct. 19, 2012 after his
conviction because it is deemed a matter of
moral turpitude.
He has been free from custody but was
remanded immediately after sentencing.

A Southern California man accused of
beating his wifes head against a car and
the ground after she requested a divorce
over breakfast in Pacica will be impris-
oned 12 years after pleading no contest
to attempted murder and inicting great
bodily injury.
John Howard Hunt, 67, of Julian,
Calif., accepted the plea deal yesterday
rather than stand trial Jan. 4 on more
charges including domestic violence and
felony assault. Hunt must serve 85 per-
cent of the term before being eligible for
parole which District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said is a very good sentence
for the case.
Hell do at least 10 years which puts
him in his late 70s. Thats a pretty good
price to pay for what he did, Wagstaffe
said.
The conviction will also count as a
criminal strike for the future and he must
pay restitution to his
wife in an amount to
be determined later.
Hunt has been
held without bail
since his May 5
arrest shortly after
sheriffs deputies
were flagged down
by a motorist seek-
ing help for Hunts
bleeding and disoriented wife.
The altercation between Hunt and his
wife of 21 years began that morning
after the woman announced over break-
fast that she wanted a divorce, according
to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The couple reportedly drove down
Highway 1 and Hunt pulled into a cul-
de-sac near Montara where he asked her
to get out and give him a hug. After the
embrace, Hunt slammed his wifes head
into the car several times until she fell to
the ground where he further hit her. The
woman told authorities he wrapped his
belt around her neck until she couldnt
breathe and she thought she was going to
die.
Hunt allegedly pulled his wife back
into the car and took off again, with her
feet dangling from the passenger side
door, and she managed to reach up and
turn off the ignition. The woman report-
ed she grabbed at a steel water bottle but
he grabbed it away and held her head
down while driving. Once the green
Subaru came to a stop, the profusely
bleeding woman ran to another car in
search of help and that motorist drove to
the rst sheriffs unit available.
Had Hunt been convicted by a jury, he
faced at least seven years to life in prison
because of the allegation the attempted
murder was premeditated.
Defense attorney Tony Brass did not
return a call for comment.

Twelve years prison for attempted murder of wife

WASHINGTON U.S. consumers peering
over the scal cliff dont like what they see.
Fears of sharp tax increases and government
spending cuts set to take effect next week sent
consumer condence tumbling in December to
its lowest level since August.
The Conference Board said Thursday that its
consumer condence index fell for the second
straight month in December to 65.1, down
from 71.5 in November.
The survey showed consumers outlook for
the next six months deteriorated to its lowest
level since 2011 a signal to Lynn Franco,
the boards director of economic indicators,
that consumers are worried about the tax hikes
and spending cuts that take effect Jan. 1 if the
White House and Congress cant reach a budg-
et deal.
Earlier this week a report showed consumers
held back shopping this holiday season, anoth-
er indication of their concerns about possible
tax increases.
The December drop in condence is obvi-
ous conrmation that a sudden and serious
deterioration in hopes for the future took place
in December presumably reecting concern
about imminent scal cliff tax increases,
said Pierre Ellis, an economist with Decision
Economics.
The decline in condence comes at a critical
time when the economy is showing signs of
improvement elsewhere.
A recovery in housing market is looking
more sustainable. On Thursday, the govern-
ment said new-home sales increased in
November at the fastest seasonally adjusted
annual pace in 2 1/2 years.
And the job market has made slow but steady
gains in recent months. The average number of
Americans applying for unemployment bene-
ts over the past month fell to the lowest level
since March 2008.
But the political wrangling in Washington
threatens the economys slow, steady progress.
President Barack Obama and House returned
to Washington Thursday to resume talks with
just days to go before the deadline.

HOUSTON Former President George
H.W. Bush, who has been hospitalized for
more than a month, is getting excellent med-
ical treatment and would advise people to put
the harps back in the closet, his longtime
Houston chief of staff said Thursday evening.
But Jean Becker also pointed out in her
statement that the 88-year-old Bush is sick and
likely will be in the hospital for a while after a
terrible case of bronchitis which then trig-
gered a series of complications.
Bush, the oldest living former president, has
been in intensive care since Sunday. He was
admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston on
Nov. 23 for treatment of what his spokesman
Jim McGrath described as a stubborn cough.
He had spent about a week
there earlier in November
for treatment of the same
condition.
Becker said most of the
civilized world contacted
her Wednesday after dis-
closures Bush had been
placed in the intensive
care unit after physicians
were having difficulty
bringing a fever under
control.
Someday President George H.W. Bush
might realize how beloved he is, but of course
one of the reasons why he is so beloved is
because he has no idea, Becker said in the at-
times lighthearted statement that made multi-
ple references to jokes and the former presi-
dents sense of humor.
She said updates about Bushs condition
have been limited out of respect for
President Bush and the Bush family who, like
most of us, prefer to deal with health issues in
privacy. She said another factor was
because he is so beloved we knew everyone
would overreact.
I hope you all know how much your love,
concern and support are appreciated, Becker
said.
While the presidents treatment was
unequaled anywhere, she said prayers also
were needed and welcomed.
I am thinking heaven has not seen such a
barrage of prayer intentions since Its a
Wonderful Life, she said, referring to the
classic Christmas movie.
It was hoped Bush would be well enough to
spend Christmas at home. But while his
cough improved, he developed a persistent
fever and his condition was downgraded to
guarded.
The former president has had visits from
family and friends, including longtime friend
James Baker III, his former Secretary of State.
Bushs daughter, Dorothy, arrived Wednesday
from her home in Bethesda, Md. Other visi-
tors have included his sons George W. Bush,
the 43rd president, and Jeb Bush, the former
Florida governor.
Bush and his wife, Barbara, live in Houston
during the winter and spend their summers at
a home in Kennebunkport, Maine.
Bush, the 41st president, had served two
terms as Ronald Reagans vice president when
he was elected in 1988 to succeed Reagan.
Four years later, after a term highlighted by the
success of the 1991 Gulf War in Kuwait, he
lost to Democrat Bill Clinton amid voters
concerns about the economy.
Chief of staff: Bush getting excellent treatment
LOS ANGELES Ship trafc off the
California coast will be re-routed under new
rules designed to protect slow-moving endan-
gered whales from ship collisions.
The International Maritime Organization
has approved vessel lane changes on
approaches to San Francisco Bay and the ports
of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and in the
Santa Barbara Channel. The changes take
effect next year after the Coast Guard goes
through the rulemaking process.
Migrating blue, n and humpback whales
are prone to ship strikes since they are often
lured to the California shoreline by plentiful
krill. All three species are endangered. There
are believed to be about 2,000 blue whales,
2,000 n whales and 2,500 humpbacks in the
northeast Pacic.
In 2010, ve whales died in ship accidents
in the area outside San Francisco Bay. Under
the recently approved lane modifications,
three lanes on the approach to the San
Francisco Bay will be extended a move that
will limit interaction between whales and
cargo ships within the Cordell Bank and Gulf
of the Farallones national marine sanctuaries.
In the Santa Barbara Channel, where four
blue whales were killed in vessel strikes in
2007, a southbound lane will be shifted a mile
north, steering ships away from feeding
grounds used by blue and humpback whales.
Other lanes will be narrowed.

WASHINGTON Truth is,
retired Gen. H. Norman
Schwarzkopf didnt care much for
his popular Stormin Norman
nickname.
The seemingly no-nonsense
Desert Storm commanders reputed
temper with aides and subordinates
supposedly earned him that rough-
and-ready moniker. But others
around the general, who died
Thursday in Tampa, Fla., at age 78
from complications from pneumo-
nia, knew him as a friendly, talkative
and even jovial gure who preferred
the somewhat milder sobriquet given
by his troops: The Bear.
That one perhaps suited him bet-
ter later in his life, when he support-
ed various national causes and chil-
drens charities while eschewing the
spotlight and resisting efforts to
draft him to run for political ofce.
He lived out a quiet retirement in
Tampa, where hed served his last
military assignment and where an
elementary school bearing his name
is testament to his standing in the
community.
Schwarzkopf capped an illustri-
ous military career by commanding
the U.S.-led international coalition
that drove Saddam Husseins forces
out of Kuwait in 1991 but hed
managed to keep a low prole in the
public debate over the second Gulf
War against Iraq, saying at one point
that he doubted victory would be as
easy as the White House and the
Pentagon predicted.
Schwarzkopf was named com-
mander in chief of U.S. Central
Command at Tampas MacDill Air
Force Base in 1988, overseeing the
headquarters for U.S. military and
security concerns in nearly two
dozen countries stretching across
the Middle East to Afghanistan and
the rest of central Asia, plus
Pakistan.
When Saddam invaded Kuwait
two years later to punish it for
allegedly stealing Iraqi oil reserves,
Schwarzkopf commanded
Operation Desert Storm, the coali-
tion of some 30 countries organized
by President George H.W. Bush that
succeeded in driving the Iraqis out.
At the peak of his postwar nation-
al celebrity, Schwarzkopf a self-
proclaimed political independent
rejected suggestions that he run for
ofce, and remained far more pri-
vate than other generals, although
he did serve briey as a military
commentator for NBC.
While focused primarily on chari-
table enterprises in his later years,
he campaigned for President George
W. Bush in 2000, but was ambiva-
lent about the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
In early 2003 he told The
Washington Post that the outcome
was an unknown: What is postwar
Iraq going to look like, with the
Kurds and the Sunnis and the
Shiites? Thats a huge question, to
my mind. It really should be part of
the overall campaign plan.

EPA Administrator Jackson

WASHINGTON EPA
Administrator Lisa Jackson, the
Obama administrations chief
environmental watchdog, is step-
ping down after
nearly four
years marked

global warming
pollution, the
Keystone XL
oil pipeline,
new controls on
c o a l - f i r e d

eral other hot-button issues that
affect the nations economy and
peoples health.
Jackson constantly found herself
caught between administration
pledges to solve thorny environ-
mental problems and steady resist-
ance from Republicans and indus-
trial groups who complained that
the agencys rules destroyed jobs
and made it harder for American
companies to compete internation-

Storm blows through East;
200K in dark in Arkansas
CONCORD, N.H. A muted
version of a winter storm that has
killed more than a dozen people
across the eastern half of the coun-
try plodded across the Northeast
on Thursday, trapping airliners in
snow or mud and frustrating trav-
elers still trying to return home
after Christmas.
The storm, which was blamed
for at least 16 deaths farther south
and west, brought plenty of wind,
rain and snow to the Northeast
when it blew in Wednesday night.
Lights generally remained on
and cars mostly stayed on the
road, unlike many harder-hit
places including Arkansas, where
200,000 homes and businesses lost
power.

Putin says he will sign
anti-U.S. adoptions bill
MOSCOW Russian President
Vladimir Putin said Thursday he will
sign a controversial bill barring
Americans from adopting Russian
children, while the Kremlins chil-
drens rights advocate recommended
extending the ban to the rest of the
world.
The bill is part of the countrys
increasingly confrontational stance
with the West and has angered some
Russians who argue it victimizes chil-
dren to make a
political point.
The law would
block dozens of
Russian children
now in the
process of being
adopted by
American fami-
lies from leaving
the country and
cut off a major route out of often-dis-
mal orphanages.

Egypts opposition
leaders under investigation
CAIRO Egypts chief prosecutor
ordered an investigation on Thursday into
allegations that opposition leaders committed
treason by inciting supporters to overthrow
Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
The probe by a Morsi-appointed prosecutor
was launched a day after the president called
for a dialogue with the opposition to heal
rifts opened in the bitter ght over an
Islamist-drafted constitution just approved in
a referendum.
The opposition decried the investigation as
a throwback to Hosni Mubaraks regime,
when the law was used to smear and silence
opponents.
The probe was almost certain to sour the
already tense political atmosphere in the
country.
Pakistan: Bhuttos son
launches political career
ISLAMABAD The 24-year-old son of
former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir
Bhutto launched his political career Thursday
with a ery speech before thousands of
cheering supporters observing the fth
anniversary of his mothers assassination.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardaris speech comes
several months before national elections are
expected to be held. He is too young to par-
ticipate in the elections himself the mini-
mum age is 25 but is likely to be a key
asset for the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party.
The partys popularity has plummeted since it
took power nearly ve years ago as the coun-
try has struggled with a weak economy and
bloody Taliban insurgency.

San Mateo firefighter
injured after roof fall
A reghter injured himself when he fell
on another reghter after he
stepped off the roof of a
burning one-story building
during an early-
morning re the
week of Dec. 28,
2007.
The reghter was on the
roof of a burning apartment at 30 Borel Ave.
in San Mateo in the early-morning hours.
He accidentally stepped off the roof
because he could not see the edge in the
heavy smoke and dark surroundings. He fell
on another reghter who was ghting the
blaze on the ground oor.
The re was called at 4:12 a.m. of
Wednesday of that week by a San Mateo
police ofcer who spotted smoke while he
was driving on nearby State Route 92. The
re may have started within the residence
one part of a duplex up to 24 hours before
the ofcer spotted smoke.
Walgreens to pay for overcharging
The Santa Clara County District Attorney's
Ofce announced the week of Dec 28, 2007
that Walgreens agreed to pay $767,000 to set-
tle a lawsuit alleging it overcharged cus-
tomers by not ensuring that the prices
charged by its scanners matched the prices
marked on its shelves.
The lawsuit was led by the district attor-
ney's ofces in Santa Clara, San Mateo,
Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara counties.
In addition to the nancial settlement,
Walgreens agreed to begin offering a Scanner
Price Guarantee at its stores within 45 days.
Under the terms of the guarantee, if a con-
sumer noties the cashier that the scanner
price is higher than the
lowest advertised price
for an item then the
consumer will receive either a $4 deduction
from their bill, a $4 merchandise card or one
incorrectly scanned item free if it is under $4,
according to a statement from the Santa
Clara County District Attorney's Ofce.
School trees sawed down
In a process of removing contaminated soil
in front of Burlingame High School, contrac-
tors the week of Dec. 28, 2007 were using
chain saws and a wood chipper on at least
one stately tree. It was unclear how many
stumps were hidden behind the green screens
that shield the area from the public. However,
the sudden removal of the trees in a city that
prides itself on such ora surprised some.
The property belongs to the San Mateo
Union High School District and the city does
not have the authority over tree removal
there.

Around the world
OPINION 9
Letter to the editor
By Kenyon Mark Lee
T
he great recession is fading and cur-
rent economic indicators suggest an
improving business climate for 2013.
Interest rates remain at an all-time low, an
eager workforce is looking for employment
and the Consumer Condence Index suggests
that consumer spending is up. This could be
a great time to take that idea youve been
mulling over to start a new business. Here
are seven steps to consider.
1). Prepare a Business Plan. A well-
thought out plan can put you on track to
reach your goals. Preparing a written plan
will force you to think through the details of
your business, and allow you to express your
goals to potential investors. Learn how here:
http://www.sba.gov/category/navigation-
structure/starting-managing-business/starting-
business/how-write-business-plan.
2). Pick a Business Name That Doesnt
Confuse or Conict. Generate several names
you like before submitting them to the
California secretary of state. If its a too-
obvious turn of phrase, chances are that
someone is using it. Youll invite legal chal-
lenges from competitors if you select a name
that could cause confusion. Youll waste time
and resources if you get a cease and desist
demand, after you have invested in design-
ing, printing and circulating marketing collat-
eral. Best to create a name that is unique,
rather than merely descriptive. For naming
guidance, see: http://www.sos.ca.gov/busi-
ness/be/forms/name-guidelines-
restrictions.pdf.
3). Document Your Relationship With Your
Partner(s). Joining forces with others on a
new endeavor is exciting and rewarding, and
the experience can create lifelong bonds with
those going for the ride. But expect to have
differences of opinion about strategy, accept-
able risk, nances, etc. Be sure to create a
document for resolving those differences
when they arise. This means putting in writ-
ing the rights and obligations each has to the
other, and can be in the
form of a partnership
agreement, an operating
agreement of an LLC, or
bylaws of the corporation.
Youll be relieved to
know there are guidelines
everyone has agreed to
when a disagreement aris-
es.
4). Protect Your Personal Assets From Your
Business Activities. This means creating a
separate legal entity, such as a corporation,
an LLC or a limited partnership, that runs the
business. That way, your personal assets are
shielded from claims by unhappy customers,
vendors or even competitors. The key here is
to follow the rules set out by the
Corporations Code. Following these rules,
not cutting corners on the reporting require-
ments and proper capitalization, separate
bookkeeping and records mean you retain the
shield of protection granted by the state. If
you ignore the rules, you lose that shield.
Then, ask your insurance broker for suggest-
ed coverage for your kind of business risk.
Youll need to budget for these basic expens-
es, but remember: An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.
5). Proper Structure for Your New
Company. Have grand plans to take your
product or service national and need to get
investment capital to grow your business?
Youll want to select the right kind of corpo-
rate structure to allow for investments by
third parties. Consult an attorney for this
important step. Financing your company is a
topic for another guest perspective since
there are many paths to grow your business.
6). Build a Team of Professionals. Whether
you are seeking investments from venture
capitalists and bankers or from your uncle,
Richie Rich, investors want to know that they
are putting their money into good hands. You
might have a great idea with a huge potential
market but if you cant execute on your busi-
ness plan, investments and loans wont mate-
rialize. Surround yourself with a team of key
advisors (e.g., attorney, CPA, insurance bro-
ker, banker) to call upon. Word-of-mouth rec-
ommendations are best, but there are plenty
of professional associations that provide
referrals for these important contacts.
7). Protect Your Rights to Your Ideas. Do
you have a new invention, a smartphone App,
software program for a game console, a tool
or gadget for consumer use or a fancy logo?
Youll want to get all federal and state law
protections available to keep from being vic-
timized by someone who trades on your hard
work and creativity. Consult an attorney
knowledgeable in patent, trademark and/or
copyright laws to see if you should register
your intellectual property before attempting
to commercialize it.

Taxifornia anyone?
Editor,
Californias electoral euphoria will even-
tually dissipate to copious forms of new tax
appeals that habitually resume as revenue
shortfalls reappear, reigniting the unad-
dressed dysfunctionality that epitomizes a
state that reviles fiscal conservatism. With
Proposition 30 passed and Proposition 32
defeated, the Greco delusion will continue
barring a collision with economic reality.
A $6 billion spending increase was built
into Californias fiscal 2013 budget; this
money is already spent while possessing
the lowest credit rating and highest debt in
the nation of $618 billion. The failure of
Proposition 32, to bar rapacious unions
from forced dues payments, ensures sus-
tainability of union dominance on both
sides of the bargaining table securing future
taxpayer largesse. Utah and Idaho success-
fully employed restraints on unions with
Indiana becoming the 23rd state to limit
unions power to collect dues from non-
union workers. Wisconsin now limits public
union collective-bargaining rights and
Michigan, the quintessential Rust Belt
dinosaur, has undergone an astonishing pro-
gression to be reborn a right-to-work state.
Meanwhile, California leadership takes the
form of achieving a prominent ranking in
Forbes magazines list of Death Spiral
States.
Between 1992 and 2008, the number of
tax-paying Californians entering California
was smaller than the number departing
3.5 million versus 4.4 million, with a net
loss of 869,000 tax filers. Those leaving
were wealthier than those arriving, with
average adjusted gross incomes of $44,700
versus $38,600. The net loss of those filers
cost California $44 billion in tax revenue.
Californias response to this unrelenting fis-
cal hemorrhage: tax increases. Welcome to
Taxifornia.

Seven steps before you launch your new business Bubble tea, pho
and swish swish
D
owntown San Mateo never fails
to surprise me. There is always
something new in that patch of
the city so central to the lives of its resi-
dents. In recent months, there has been a
surge of bubble tea locations, with the
most popu-
lar one
being T-
Pumps on B
Street. The
lines are
always out
the door.
Combine
that with
Old Town
Sushi and
its ubiqui-
tous lines
and its one
crowded
corner at
First and B.
But lo and behold, word is that another
bubble tea place is opening just a few
doors down where Sweet Orchid, a gela-
to and dessert place, just shut down. That
spot allows seating, which T-Pumps cur-
rently does not have. And right next to
that spot is Flow Salon, a brand-new hip
haircuttery place that my head has no
need for, but will surely be a place for
many. Just a few doors south is a new
place called Street Food nearly right
across from Curry Up Now, which is
deemed Indian Street Food. Street food
seems to be all the rage on B Street. At
Street Food on B Street, you will be able
to buy a chicken wing for about $1.50
amid other delicacies such as beef lungs
in garlic sauce for about $8. And its
open late for all of you with a penchant
for late-night nibbles after quaffing down
some large cups of bubble tea.
Street Food took the place of Pho
Garden, which closed down even with its
offer of super large bowls of Vietnamese
deliciousness.
Speaking of pho, it looks as if Pho
Miss Saigon on Third Avenue may be
getting new owners and they have a mind
to change the name to Vespucci, which
Im assuming is an Italian place. So we
will have two Italian places within a
block of each other on Third Avenue,
including Acqua Pazza at San Mateo
Drive, which took the place of a
Vietnamese restaurant after it had a fire.
But does it mean that we arent sup-
porting pho places downtown? At least
there is Saigon City on Third on the
other side of the railroad tracks. That
place is a mainstay. Another development
is the expansion of shabu shabu, which
translates to, I think, swish swish, which
is what you do with the thinly cut meat
in the hot broth in front of you to cook
it. Shabuway has found a spot on Third
right next to Miss Saigon and is crowded
most nights. Most recently, it appears as
if a new, and bigger, place will be open-
ing on Third and San Mateo Drive at the
former Collins Pharmacy site (Im dat-
ing myself with this landmark reference,
but heres an earlier one the former
Noahs Ark restaurant site). It is to be
called Zabu Zabu, which has a location
already in Berkeley and characterizes
itself as a Japanese fondue place with a
motto of All U Can Shabu Shabu &
Sushi. Sounds promising.
So if bubble tea is your thing, and you
want to go swish swish into the night,
then downtown San Mateo is the place
for you.

NEW YORK The scal cliff took
the stock market on a roller coaster
Thursday. Small developments in the
tense budget standoff yanked stocks
back and forth throughout the day.
In the end, U.S. stocks closed lower
for the fourth day in a row, sending the
unwelcome message that the budget
standoff is still far from solved, the econ-
omy still far from healed.
The erratic performance underscored
how the scal cliff can yank the mar-
ket back and forth. The term refers to
automatic tax increases and government
spending cuts that will kick in next week
if Republicans and Democrats cant
reach a budget agreement by Monday
night.
Stocks opened by hopping between
small gains and losses, pulled up by
news about fewer unemployment claims
and down by the continuing lack of a
budget deal in Washington.
Then, stocks turned decisively down-
ward at mid-morning, unnerved by twin
fetters: a report that consumer con-
dence fell to its lowest level since
August, and a warning from the Senate
Majority Leader, Democrat Harry Reid,
that he feared the government would
miss the Monday night deadline for
working out a budget compromise.
A bright spot of economic news, an
increase in sales of new homes, couldnt
distract investors from worries about the
budget impasse. Both Republicans and
Democrats demanded that the other side
take the initiative in compromising. The
Dow Jones industrial average fell as
much as 150 points, more than 1 percent.
Then, just as the Dow appeared head-
ed toward a triple-digit loss, it whip-
sawed again, this time higher, after
House leaders announced in the late
afternoon that the chamber would meet
Sunday evening to work on the budget.
At the close, stocks trimmed their
losses but still closed lower. The Dow
nished down 18.28 points to 13,096.31.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
1.73 to 1,418.10. The Nasdaq composite
index lost 4.25 to 2,985.91.
Until recently, investors were treating
the scal cliff with a measure of non-
chalance. Stocks rose more or less
steadily from mid-November until late
last week.
But now, with the scal cliff dead-
line just days away and no deal in sight,
more investors are paying attention.
This is a matter of a few personali-
ties; it isnt something where you can

NEW YORK Andrew Neitlich is
the last person youd expect to be rattled
by the stock market.
He once worked as a nancial analyst
picking stocks for a mutual fund. He has
huddled with dozens of CEOs in his cur-
rent career as an executive coach.
During the dot-com crash 12 years ago,
he kept his wits and did not sell.
But hes selling now.
You have to trust your government.
You have to trust other governments.
You have to trust Wall Street, says
Neitlich, 47. And I dont trust any of
these.
Defying decades of investment histo-
ry, ordinary Americans are selling stocks
for a fth year in a row. The selling has
not let up despite unprecedented meas-
ures by the Federal Reserve to persuade
people to buy and the come-hither allure
of a levitating market. Stock prices have
doubled from March 2009, their low
point during the Great Recession.
Its the rst time ordinary folks have
sold during a sustained bull market since
relevant records were rst kept during
World War II, an examination by the
Associated Press has found. The AP ana-
lyzed money owing into and out of
stock funds of all kinds, including rela-
tively new exchange-traded funds,
which investors like because of their low
fees.
People dont trust the market any-
more, says nancial historian Charles
Geisst of Manhattan College. He says a
crisis of condence similar to one
after the Crash of 1929 will keep people
away from stocks for a generation or
more.
The implications for the economy and
living standards are unclear but poten-
tially big. If the pullback continues,
some experts say, it could lead to lower
spending by companies, slower U.S.
economic growth and perhaps lower
gains for those who remain in the mar-
ket.
Since they started selling in April
2007, eight months before the start of
the Great Recession, individual investors
have pulled at least $380 billion from
U.S. stock funds, a category that
includes both mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds, according to
estimates by the AP. That is the equiva-
lent of all the money they put into the
market in the previous ve years.
Ordinary folks losing faith in stocks

NEW YORK In just a few days, a
walkout by thousands of dock workers
could bring commerce to a near stand-
still at every major port from Boston to
Houston, potentially delivering a big
blow to retailers and manufacturers still
struggling to nd their footing in a weak
economy.
More than 14,000 longshoremen are
threating to go on strike Sunday a
wide-ranging work stoppage that would
immediately close cargo ports on the
East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico to
container ships.
The 15 ports involved in the labor dis-
pute move more than 100 million tons of
goods each year, or about 40 percent of
the nations containerized cargo trafc.
Losing them to a shutdown, even for a
few days, could cost the economy bil-
lions of dollars.
If the port shuts down, nothing moves
in or out, said Jonathan Gold, vice pres-
ident of supply chain and customs poli-
cy at the National Retail Federation. And
when the workers do return, its going
to take time to clear out that backlog,
and we dont know how long that its
going to take.
Shipments of such varied products as
flat-screen TVs, sneakers and snow
shovels would either sit idle at sea or get
rerouted, at great time and expense. U.S.
factories also rely on container ships for
parts and raw materials, meaning supply
lines for all sorts of products could be
squeezed.
Time runs short to avert longshoremens strike
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The average num-
ber of people seeking U.S. unemploy-
ment benets over the past month fell to
the lowest level since March 2008, a
sign that the job market is healing.
The Labor Department said Thursday
that weekly applications dropped 12,000
to a seasonally adjusted 350,000 in the
week ended Dec. 22. The four-week
average, a less volatile measure, fell to a
nearly ve-year low of 356,750.
Still, the Christmas holiday may have
distorted the figures. A department
spokesman said many state unemploy-
ment ofces were closed Monday and
Tuesday and could not provide exact
data. That forced the government to rely
on estimates. Normally, the government
might estimate application data for one
or two states. Last week, it had to use
estimates for 19.
The estimates are usually fairly accu-
rate, the spokesman said. Even so, the
government will likely revise the gures
by more than normal next week.
Weekly applications are a proxy for
layoffs. They have mostly uctuated this
year between 360,000 and 390,000. At
the same time, employers have added an
average of 151,000 jobs a month in the
rst 11 months of 2012. Thats just
enough to slowly reduce the unemploy-
ment rate.
Jobless aid applications fall to five-year low
Apple CEO gets modest 2012 pay after big 2011
NEW YORK Apple CEO Tim Cook got $4.2 million
in pay for the latest scal year, a modest sum compared
with last year, when the companys board set him up with
stock now worth $510 million for taking the reins in 2011.
Cooks pay for scal 2012, which ended in September,
consisted of $1.4 million in salary, a bonus of $2.8 million,
and $17,000 in company contributions to his 401(k)
account and life insurance premiums, according to a ling.
Apple Inc.s board saw no need to give Cook additional
shares in 2012 after the sign-on grant of 1 million shares in
2011. Half of those shares vest in 2016 and the other half
in 2021. A lot could happen to the value of the shares
before Cook can cash them out, but the sign-on grant made
him at least on paper the highest-paid U.S. CEO in
2011.
Cook did vest into shares worth $140 million in 2012.
Those shares were granted earlier, when he was chief oper-
ating ofcer. He had been acting CEO for a while before
the death of company co-founder Steve Jobs in October of
2011.
Silicon Valleys light rail among least efficient
A $2 billion light-rail system built to serve San Jose and
some surrounding cities in Silicon Valley has become
among the least efcient in the country and suffers from
low ridership and high operating costs.
As the Valley Transportation Authority rail line marked
25 years of service this month, less than 1 percent of all
Santa Clara County residents ride the trains daily and tax-
payers subsidize 85 percent of the service, the second
worst rate in the nation.
Critics are calling the system a failure, and even some
optimistic supporters say it has not lived up to expecta-
tions.
Kevin Connolly, VTA transportation planning manager,
told the newspaper that the transit line is a work in
progress and is still burgeoning, as it was built along onion
elds with expectations that new homes and businesses
would grow along the train route.

Menlo getting healthy
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The winter break tends to wreak havoc on
high school basketball teams. Without the
structure of school during the day, teams tend
to practice at weird times, play games at odd
times on odd days and in unfamiliar gyms.
For the Menlo School girls basketball
team, the early part of the season has been
even more discombobulated as the Knights
have been without two of their key players for
most of the year thus far. But with center
Drew Edelman and point guard Lauren Lete
beginning to round into form, the Knights are
hoping team chemistry and continuity
increases rapidly.
Menlo coach John Paye had both in his line-
up for the rst time this season in the rst
round of the Steve Geramoni Invitational tour-
nament hosted by Notre Dame-Belmont
Thursday afternoon and both Edelman and
Lete paid dividends as the Knights came away
with a 51-39 win over Northgate-Walnut
Creek.
In other rst-round action, Hillsdale needed
overtime to down Mercy-Burlingame, 48-45,
while host Notre Dame-Belmont demolished
The Waldorf School-San Francisco, 55-13.
Sequoia, on the other hand, was thumped by
Moreau Catholic-Hayward, 47-25.
Menlo (6-3 overall) looked like a team try-
ing to integrate two main cogs as for three
quarters, the Knights struggled to put the ball
in the basket. In the third quarter, however,
they showed how good a team they can be,
outscoring the Broncos 17-7 and taking a 20-
point lead into the fourth quarter.
Paye chalked up the other three quarters of
marginal basketball to the time of the year.
I think we were a little lethargic coming
off of Christmas break, Paye said. Were
just coming together as a team. We nally
have 10 healthy players.
Edelman was appearing in just her fth
game of the season Thursday and it showed as
she missed a number of easy layups and yet
she still nished with a game-high 20 points
to go along with 20 rebounds. Lete was play-
ing in just her rst game of the 2012-13 cam-
paign but looked to be in midseason shape as
she did a good job of running the offense and
scoring six points.
Joining the two senior veterans was a rook-
ie sharpshooter who supplied some outside
pop for the Knights. Hannah Paye, coach
Payes daughter, nished with 12 points
with seven coming in the rst quarter.
Menlo started quickly, scoring the games
first seven points and the Knights never
looked back. They led 11-7 after the rst quar-
ter with Edelman and Paye combining to
score all 11 points. Paye knocked down her
second 3 of the half to start the second period

WASHINGTON So what if San Jose
State lost its coach before the Military Bowl.
David Fales was still the quarterback, and that
was plenty.
The dart-throwing junior started strong and
nished stronger in the wind and cold at RFK
Stadium. Fales, who led the nation in comple-
tion percentage during the regular season,
completed 33 of 43 passes for 395 yards and
two touchdowns Thursday in the No. 24
Spartans 29-20 win over Bowling Green.
Fales led the drive that set up Austin
Lopezs 27-yard eld goal with 4:43 remain-
ing, and DeLeon Eskridges 1-yard run with
2:34 left provided the insurance. San Jose
State (11-2), in the national rankings for the
rst time since 1975, capped the year with a
seven-game winning streak for its rst 11-win
season since 1940, a remarkable turnaround

A dream 12 years in the making has come
true for Marcus Farhad.
After a dozen years working his way up the
football coaching ranks on the Peninsula, the
former College of San Mateo Bulldog now
has a program to call his own after Carlmont
High School named Farhad its head varsity
football coach.
My goal was always to be the head coach
some day, Farhad said. And so, when it
nally was an opportunity for me, I was real-
ly excited to apply for the position.
Farhad takes over for Jason Selli, who spent
two seasons as the head coach for the Scots.
I know its something hes been wanted to
do in his life, Selli said. Its been a goal of
his. I think it bodes well for the team. I think
he has a good relationship with the players
from the frosh/soph and the juniors from the
team this year were really champing at the bit
to have a successful season next year.
Farhad bleeds Carlmont Blue, having spent
12 years working at the school in some capac-
ity. Last season, he was an assistant head
coach on the Scots frosh/soph team that went
9-1.

SANTA CLARA Patrick
Willis believes the San Francisco
49ers can still be a great defense
even without All-Pro tackle Justin
Smith.
The 49ers might have to spend the
rest of this season finding out
whether or not Willis, their All-Pro
linebacker and defensive leader, is
correct.
Smith is unlikely to play Sunday
in the regular-
season finale
against Arizona
because of a
partially torn
left triceps. The
injury could
force Smith to
miss some or all
of the postsea-
son.
The San Francisco defense has
been gouged for big yardage and
points since Smith was injured early
in the third quarter Dec. 16 at New
England. But the NFLs second-
ranked defense hopes to regroup
and regain momentum for the play-
offs against an Arizona team that
ranks last in the league in total
offense.
Smith, one of ve San Francisco
defenders selected to start for the
NFC in the Pro Bowl, is expected to
be on the sideline against the
Cardinals.
You cant really put into words
what he means to this defense,
Willis said Thursday. We most cer-
tainly miss him and hopefully well
get him back for the playoffs.
But we have a great defense and
I truly believe that. When you have
what we have on our defense, we
should be able to go out there and
display that each time. Starting from
this Sunday, we have to make sure
we go out and do that on a consis-
tent basis and play like the defense
we know were capable of playing
like.
The 49ers havent been the same
on defense since losing Smith in the
victory at New England.
San Francisco surrendered four
consecutive touchdown drives after
Smith left that game with the 49ers
leading 31-3. Without Smith over
most of the past six quarters, the
49ers have allowed 753 yards, 66
points and 48 rst downs.
Much of that damage came last
week in a 42-13 loss at Seattle, the
worst defeat of coach Jim
Harbaughs two seasons with the
49ers. Without Smith, a rst-team
All-Pro and Pro Bowl starter last
season, San Franciscos defense
allowed season highs in both points
scored and rushing yards allowed.
But defensive coordinator Vic
Fangio doesnt want to blame his
units poor performance on Smiths
absence.
Hes a great player, one of the
best defensive players in the NFL,
and anytime you lose one of those
guys it does have an adverse effect
on you, Fangio said. But I didnt
think the problems weve had, the
last game in particular, were
because of Justin not being there.
We could have had five Justin
Smiths. That wasnt the issue. We
didnt play good, didnt coach good
and those guys just whipped us.
Fangio has seen his defense
bounce back before and expects it to
do so again as the 49ers prepare for
the playoffs. San Francisco needs a
victory over Arizona to secure its
second consecutive NFC West title,
and the 49ers can capture the NFCs
No. 2 playoff seed with a win over
the Cardinals and a Green Bay loss
Sunday at Minnesota.
The 49ers certainly have the
defensive personnel to make do
without Smith.
Willis, outside linebacker Aldon
Smith and safeties Dashon Goldson
and Donte Whitner all were named
Pro Bowl starters on Wednesday
along with Justin Smith. Middle
linebacker NaVorro Bowman, San
Franciscos leading tackler, also was
selected to the NFC team, and cor-
nerback Carlos Rogers and outside
linebacker Ahmad Brooks are Pro
Bowl alternates.
Willis, who became the rst play-
er in franchise history to be named
to the Pro Bowl in each of his rst
six NFL seasons, doesnt expect San
Franciscos defense to be down for
long.
Its like gravity, Willis said.
What comes up must come down.
And whats down will eventually
come up. For the most part, we have
played well this season Now its one
of those things where each person
has to take it up a whole another
notch. We cant ll Justins shoes -
nobody can come in and do that -
but I know we certainly can get it
done. Were going to bounce back
and make sure we do it right from
this point on.
Veteran lineman Ricky Jean
Francois made his rst career start
at right tackle in place of Smith last
week and nished second on the
team with six tackles.
Fangios approach wont change
whether its Smith or Jean Francois
playing that position the rest of the
way.
Justins told me hes getting bet-
ter each and every day and thats
really all I know, Fangio said. But
its like anything. You can lose any-
body early in a game and you just
have to go. Were too far along here
to change the system because of one
guy being out. Well be ne.
49ers optimistic without Smith

ALAMEDA Matt Leinart is
hoping to get one more shot to show
what he can do as an NFL starting
quarterback.
With Carson Palmer sidelined for
Oaklands season finale in San
Diego with cracked ribs and a
bruised lung, Leinart and third-
stringer Terrelle Pryor have been
sharing time at practice.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen says
he wont pick a starter until after
Fridays practice but it seems likely
both quarterbacks will get a chance.
Leinart has started only two games
since 2007 and failed to live up the
expectations of winning the
Heisman Trophy at Southern
California and being a rst-round
draft pick by Arizona in 2006.
I still feel I have a lot to prove at
this point of my career, Leinart said
Thursday. No matter what the
naysayers say, I do feel like I still
can play. I do feel like that, and I
think Ill play like that until the day
I retire. But youre only given so

before the Knights nally got some
scoring from others. While Edelman
had seven points in the quarter, the
Knights also got contributions from
Jasmin Williams, who knocked
down a 3, and Kaelen Dunn, who hit
a layup off penetration. By the time
Edelman hit a layup with 11 sec-
onds left in the first half, the
Knights enjoyed a 10-point lead,
26-16.
Menlo then put the game away in
the third quarter. Edelman hit back-
to-back layups to start the second
half, followed by a layup from Paye
and one of two free throws from
Edelman to put the Knights up 33-
16. Following a Northgate bucket,
Maddy Price scored for Menlo to
kick off a 10-2 run. A steal and
layup from Williams gave Menlo a
22-point lead, 43-21, with 2:10 left
in the third and the Knights led 43-
23 going into the nal eight min-
utes.
Menlo may have thought the
game was over, but the Broncos bat-
tled to the end. The Knights went
scoreless for nearly ve minutes of
the fourth quarter as Northgate went
on an 8-0 run. The Broncos actually
whittled the Menlo lead to single
digits, 47-38, with under a minute to
play, but the 20-point decit proved
to be too big a hole from which to
climb.

The Hillsdale girls basketball
team has shown signs of life the last
couple of years after many seasons
of losing. Maybe this is the year the
Knights make a name for them-
selves on the Peninsula. They
served a wake-up call to the rest of
the Peninsula Athletic League with
an exciting 48-45 overtime over
Mercy-Burlingame in the rst round
of the Steve Geramoni Invitational.
After leading for most of the rst
three quarters, Hillsdale found itself
trailing the Crusaders 42-40 with 13
seconds left in regulation and Mercy
at the free throw line. But the
Crusaders missed the front end of a
1-and-1 and the rebound was
grabbed by Hillsdale, who hurried
down court. The ball was played in
to Kara Ronberg in the post and
with less than three seconds on the
clock, she wheeled into the paint
and let y a little hook shot that
found the bottom of the net as time
expired to tie the game at 42.
It appeared the game might need a
second overtime to decide things as
the score was knotted at 45 with 29
seconds left, but Mercy, again, came
up short at the free throw line, miss-
ing a pair. The Knights got one of
two from the line from Emily
Nepomuceno for a 46-45 lead.
Mercy called a timeout and had one
more chance to get the win, but
Nepomuceno stole the ball in the
backcourt and went in for a layup as
time expired to give the Knights the
win.
Nepomuceno led all scorers with
a game-high 21 points. Ashley
Yakushi chipped in 11. Mercy-
Burlingame was paced by Samantha
Wegelinski and Penina Tuiasoposo,
who each scored 12 points.
Hillsdale will face host Notre
Dame in a seminal game tonight at
7:30, while Mercy-Burlingame will
take on Waldorf in a losers bracket
game at 4:30 p.m.
Notre Dame-Belmont 55,
Waldorf School 13
Its not uncommon for the tourna-
ment host to schedule an easy rst-
round matchup, but even Notre
Dame coach Josh Davenport could
not have guessed his team would
dominate the school from San
Francisco so easily. Waldorf scored
the rst points of the game on a pair
of free throws and it was all Tigers
after that. Notre Dame had quarter
scores of 11, 19, 16 and 9 while
Waldorf failed to crack double dig-
its in any quarter.
The Tigers were led by Becca
Grigg, who scored 25 points. Mary
Kennedy was the only other Tiger to
score in double gures, nishing
with 10.
The one point of concern for the
Tigers was their rebounding.
Waldorf actually out-boarded the
Tigers 40-25.
Moreau Catholic 47,
Sequoia 25
The Mariners have been a small-
school powerhouse in the North
Coast Section the last several years,
so there is no shame in losing to
them. The Mariners had too much
repower and talent for Sequoia to
contend with, but that made no dif-
ference to coach Steve Picchi, who
judges his teams performance on a
dribble by dribble, pass by pass
basis, offering encouragement to his
team after the simplest of positive
plays whether it was overplaying
a pass to make it more difcult for
Moreau to score or grabbing a
rebound.
Sequoia tried to slow the pace of
the game by having point guard
Alaina Woo eat up most of the shot
clock by dribbling time away in the
backcourt before attacking the bas-
ket with 10 seconds or less on the
clock. Woo may not be the ashiest
ball handler but she has to be among
the most fearless as she never pan-
icked even when facing a full court
press by the Mariners.
Moreau, on the other hand,
pushed the tempo at every opportu-
nity. And while the Cherokees did
force Moreau into its share of
turnovers, Sequoia did not have
enough repower to overcome an
early-game decit. Sequoia trailed
10-4 after one quarter and were
down 24-10 at half. The Cherokees
were outscored 14-3 in the third
quarter to put to rest any thoughts of
a comeback, but did outscore the
Mariners 12-9 in the nal quarter.
Woo led the Cherokees with 12
points. Sydney Albin added nine for
Sequoia. Moreau was led by Remy
Puou and Kaitlin Leguidleguid, who
scored 12 points apiece.
Moreau Catholic moves on to the
tournament seminals where it will
take on Menlo School at 4:30 p.m.
Hillsdale tops Mercy in overtime
I love Carlmont as a school and I love
working there, Farhad said. Coaching other
places was ne while it happened, but I
always wanted to help out the school that had
me start to begin with. Being that I teach at the
school now, I have a good tie with all the stu-
dents, a good connection with the school and
I have a lot of school spirit, too. So, I think all
those come into play for someone that wants
to motivate the team. Ive surrounded myself
with people who have either played or
coached at Carlmont in the past.
Farhad takes over a football program that
suffered some key injuries early in the season
and as such had to grind through the year, n-
ishing at 1-9.
But the future looks bright at Carlmont.
Farhads frosh/soph squad not only had a
great record, but more importantly, introduced
38 new faces to the program.
Well have a strong frosh/soph team next
year, Farhad said looking ahead. And those
sophomores coming up already know the
offense and the defensive schemes were
going to go through so its going to be a nice
mesh and the varsity players already know me
its going to be a good transition.
Along with time at Carlmont, Farhad has
had his hand in a fair amount of football pro-
grams throughout the Peninsula. After cutting
his teeth for four seasons at Carlmont starting
in 2002, Farhad spent two years at San Mateo
High then a season apiece at Menlo-Atherton
and Sacred Heart Prep before earning his mas-
ters degree and teaching credentials, and
coming back to Carlmont this season.
I have lot of experience and it was just the
right timing, Farhad said. The times before
coaching, it just wasnt there yet. So, thats
why Im really excited because its like a door
opened up for me.
Said Selli about his time at Carlmont:
Everything was positive, even this year,
everyone wants to focus on the record, 1-9, as
a big thing. But the relationships we built with
the kids made it a real successful two seasons.
We were competitive. It was awesome. It was
great. Im going to miss it. Its just, Im at a
point in my life where I have to put my prior-
ities with my family.

two seasons in Arizona before being sidelined
by a broken left collarbone in 2007. He was
beaten out the next season by Kurt Warner and
started one game his nal two seasons with
the Cardinals.
Leinart then signed with Houston in 2010
and got another chance to start late last season
when Matt Schaub went down with a foot
injury. But Leinart got hurt in the rst half of
his rst start, missing a chance to take the
Texans to the playoffs.
He signed this past offseason with Oakland
and had thrown only one pass before replac-
ing Palmer in the rst quarter of last weeks
17-6 loss at Carolina.
Leinart completed 16 of 32 passes for 115
yards, no touchdowns and one interception for
a 45.7 passer rating.
I felt a little rusty, Leinart said. I think
my footwork, for me, wasnt as good as I
wanted it to be, and what I work on. But I
think again, that was just kind of getting in
there, hadnt played in a while. But it is what
it is, moved on and watched the lm and been
practicing well this week and just trying to
correct those mistakes.
Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp
acknowledged the difcult situation Leinart
went into but was disappointed in his play.
Knapp was particularly upset by an intercep-
tion late in the rst half that led to a Panthers
touchdown and a ball Leinart threw away on
fourth down late in the game.
He didnt play as well as I would have
liked, Knapp said. I wished his footwork
would have been better on a consistent basis.
Its hard for any backup quarterback to come
in on short notice without any reps, but that
comes with the job. You got to know that
going in. He struggled a little bit with the
footwork and his consistency. He had it some-
times but not all the time.
The Raiders have an interesting decision
this week. Coach Dennis Allen said Pryor
wasnt ready to be the backup last week but
could start this week after getting more prac-
tice time than usual.
Allen and general manager Reggie
McKenzie have talked about wanting to get a
better look at Pryor down the stretch, but
whether thats as a part-time player or a starter
remains to be seen.
I think I deserve to play, I deserve to start,
not sure whats going to happen, but thats all
you can do -- just keep preparing, keep work-
ing hard, be here, be accountable and whatev-
er happens, whatever decision is made, thats
whats made, Leinart said.

for a program that was 1-12 just two years ago
in Mike MacIntyres rst season as coach.
But MacIntyre left ear-
lier this month for a big-
ger payday at Colorado,
leaving defensive coordi-
nator Kent Baer in charge
for the bowl. Baer was
interested in the job full-
time, but the school
instead hired San Diegos
Ron Caragher, who
attended the game as an
observer.
Bowling Green (8-5) had a similar turn-
around, improving from 2-10 in 2010 under
coach Dave Clawson. A defense that allowed
only 15.8 points per game in the regular sea-
son ninth best among FBS schools did a
decent job against a San Jose State team that
was averaging 35.3 points.
But give Fales enough chances, and hell
nd a way to put points on the board. He went
over the 4,000-yard passing mark for the sea-
son, hitting Kyle Nunn for a 33-yard score to
give the Spartans a rst-quarter lead and nd-
ing the stutter-stepping Chandler Jones for an
18-yard reception that put San Jose State back
in front, 19-13, in the third quarter.
Bowling Green retook the lead in the fourth
quarter with a 68-yard drive, nished off by
John Pettigrews 1-yard run with 10:26
remaining.
But Fales went 7 for 10 on a 68-yard drive
that got well within range for Lopez, who had
a perfect season making all 17 of his eld
goal attempts. The Spartans then forced a
turnover that led to Eskridges clinching
touchdown.
Lopez was less fortunate as an emergency
punter after Harrison Waid was injured on San
Jose States rst punt of the game. Lopezs
rst punt was blocked, setting up a Bowling
Green eld goal.
It was the rst of two blocked punts in the
game. San Jose States Bene Benwikere got
his hand on one in the second half. The ball
went out of the end zone for a safety that cut
Bowling Greens lead to 13-12.
The Military Bowl was supposed to pit
Army against an ACC team, but Army isnt
bowl-eligible and the ACC didnt have enough
bowl-eligible schools to fulll its bowl tie-ins.
As a result, there was little excitement for the
game in the nations capital. The upper deck
of RFK Stadium was virtually empty during
the second half of the MAC-WAC matchup,
and the attendance was announced as 17,835.

Hideki Matsui
retires from baseball
NEW YORK Free agent slug-
ger Hideki Matsui retired Thursday
from professional baseball, saying
he is no longer able to perform at
the level that made him a star in two
countries.
The 2009 World Series MVP with
the New York Yankees and a three-
time Central League MVP with the
Tokyo Yomiuri Giants struggled in a
brief stint with the Tampa Bay Rays
last season and recently made up his
mind to call it a career after 20 years
the rst 10 in Japan.
Despite choosing to make the
announcement in New York because
the city was special to him, the near-
ly hour-long news conference was
conducted only in Japanese and was
broadcast live to his home country,
where it was 7 a.m. Friday. A
Japanese reporter translated por-
tions of the event for the four
American baseball writers in atten-
dance.
Before he left for New York in
2003, Matsui told his fans in Japan
that he would give his life to playing
in the major leagues, give whatever
he had, the reporter said. Today is
the day he put a period to that.
In front of more than 15 cameras
and dozens of Japanese reporters,
many of whom detailed every aspect
of his career in the United States,
the outelder/designated hitter gave
a 12-minute speech before answer-
ing questions for about 40 minutes
more, betraying little emotion
except for that sly smile he ashed
during his playing days.
Nicknamed Godzilla, Matsui was
already perhaps the most popular
player of his generation in Japan
when he signed a three-year, $21
million contract with the Yankees.
While Seattles Ichiro Suzuki
appeared to shy away from the
attention, Matsui walked right into
the spotlight and embraced the
scrutiny.
Playing for the Yankees was, one
of the best things that happened to
him in his life, the Japanese
reporter quoted Matsui as saying.
Wade suspended game
for action against Sessions
NEW YORK Miami Heat
guard Dwyane Wade has been sus-
pended one game without pay by
the NBA for ailing his leg and
making contact with the groin of
Charlotte Bobcats Ramon Sessions.
The suspension was announced
Thursday by Stu Jackson, the NBAs
executive vice president for basket-
ball operations.
The incident happened with 8:12
left in the fourth quarter of the
Heats 105-92 victory over the
Bobcats on Wednesday night.
Sessions was called for a foul on the
play.
Wade will serve the suspension
Friday night when the Heat visit the
Detroit Pistons.
Injured Matt Barkley
wont play in Sun Bowl
EL PASO, Texas Matt Barkley
came to Southern California as a
hot-shot recruit, seemingly destined
to be the Trojans next star quarter-
back. For the most part he delivered
on that promise during a record-
breaking four-year run as USCs
starter.
Barkley, though, wont get to give
a grand nale.
He wont play in the Sun Bowl
against Georgia Tech on New Years
Eve because of a lingering injury to
his right shoulder. Doctors didnt
clear him to play, coach Lane Kifn
said.
Its a tough day, Barkley said.
As you heard from Coach Kifn I
wont be playing on the 31st. Ive
worked as hard as I could to get
back for this game, but natures not
allowing it and the doctors arent
allowing it, which is the most
important thing. Theyre looking
out for my best interest, and I trust
their judgment in how things have
turned out.

his other blood fests, speci-
cally his last flick,
Inglourious Basterds.
In that 2009 tale of wickedly
savage retribution, Allied
Jewish soldiers get to rewrite
World War II history by going
on a killing spree of Nazis. In
Tarantinos new tale of
wickedly savage retribution, a
black man (Jamie Foxx) gets
to rewrite Deep South history
by going on a killing spree of

NEW YORK Quentin Tarantino enters a
West Village Italian restaurant through the
back, a quiet arrival for a lmmaker who is
anything but stealthy.
More than most any other director working
today, Tarantinos movies are propelled by a
ceaseless urge to entertain, both the audience
and himself. In richly comic dialogue, glee-
fully splattered violence and vibrant bombas-
tic color, they announce themselves brashly.
His latest, Django Unchained, a kind of
Spaghetti Western set in the antebellum
South, is brazen even by Tarantino standards.
Starring Jamie Foxx as a slave taken under the
wing of a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz),
the lms strange mix of surrealist comedy,
bloody action and brutal depictions of slavery
make Django arguably Tarantinos most
audacious movie yet.
There is a committed showman aspect to
my lm that I relish in, says a sweatshirt-clad
Tarantino as he settles in behind a table. I
want the audience to have a wild experience at
the movies and know that they left their house
and did something with their night. I like tor-
turing them from time to time, but also getting
them off.
Django Unchained not only plunges
Tarantino back into the racially sensitive terri-
tory that has brought him criticism in the past,
it essentially explodes it. The n-word is used
more than 100 times in the lm. Two espe-
cially violent scenes of slavery one a
Mandingo brawl, the other involving a dog
even Tarantino calls traumatizing.
Its a revenge fantasy that, depending on
your perspective, makes this either the rare
lm to honestly present the ugliness of slav-
ery, or one that treats atrocity as a backdrop
for genre movie irreverence. Its probably
both.
If the only purpose of this movie was to
make a shocking expose about slavery ... that
would be well and good. You could denitely
do that, says Tarantino. But this movie
wants to be a little more than just that.
Its ironic that Tarantino is now unleashing
a movie boasting of historical realism after his
last lm, Inglourious Basterds (the hit of his
career, with global box ofce of $321.5 mil-
lion and eight Oscar nominations) rewrote
history by killing Hitler. Django, similarly
revels in the catharsis of seeing the evildoers
of history get their comeuppance.
With black audiences, they laugh, they just
get it, says Tarantino. Part of the humor is
stemming out of: `We were afraid of these
idiots?
Tarantinos two-part Kill Bill and Death
Proof were also revenge tales, only for
women hunting patriarchal stereotypes. Yet
from the banter of Pulp Fiction to the
romance of Jackie Brown, race has clearly
emerged as a dominant theme in Tarantinos
lms.
Its the most important subject in America,
both from a historical perspective and in our
day to day lives, says Tarantino. There are a
whole lot of white lmmakers that might wish
to venture into this area but theyre afraid.
Theyre afraid of being criticized.
Tarantino was memorably chastised by
Spike Lee after the n-word laden Jackie
Brown for being infatuated with the
expression. Tarantino says he was done
wrong by Lee, and that while he doesnt care
what Lee thinks of Django, liking it would
be a nice olive branch.
Django Unchained, which the Weinstein
Co. will release Tuesday, has made an effort
to reach out to the black community. Three of
the lms stars Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio
(who plays a villainous Mississippi plantation
owner) and Kerry Washington (Djangos wife
in need of rescue) grace the cover of a
recent issue of Vibe magazine. Oprah Winfrey
has endorsed it, though she also called it
provocative and twisted.
Tarantino is prepared for any coming con-
troversy.
Not to sound too full of myself, but I guess
I have the shoulders to carry it, he says. You
just have to be able to walk the walk and carry
it. Ill take the stones that come my way for it.
There might be some controversy right now
but then that goes away. Frankly, its a very
short amount of time in the course of a life of
a movie.
For Tarantino, whose own personal lm
school was famously had as a video store
clerk in Los Angeles, inspiration always starts
with other lms. Django Unchained was
motivated by Spaghetti Westerns, particularly
those of the Italian director Sergio Corbucci,
Tarantino unchained: Quentin unleashes Django

tive, the premise offering little more than
cold, nasty revenge and barrels of squishing,
squirting blood.
The usual Tarantino genre mishmash a
dab of blaxploitation here, a dollop of
Spaghetti Western there is so familiar
now that its tiresome, more so because the
filmmaker continues to linger with chortling
delight over every scene, letting conversa-
tions run on interminably and gunfights
carry on to grotesque excess. Bodies burst-
ing blood like exploding water balloons?
Perversely fun the first five or six times,
pretty dreary the 20th or 30th.
Tarantino always gets good actors who
deliver, though, and its the performances by
Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz
and Samuel L. Jackson that make Django
Unchained intermittently entertaining
amid moments when the characters are
either talking one another to death or just
plain killing each other.
Foxxs Django starts literally in chains,
part of a line of slaves on their way to the
auction block. Genteel bounty hunter King
Schultz (Waltz, an Academy Award winner
for Inglourious Basterds) turns up search-
ing for Django because the slave can identi-
fy three elusive overseers with a price on
their heads. Next thing you know, Djangos
apprenticing as a bounty hunter, forming a
partnership with King that takes them deep-
er south in hopes of freeing Djangos wife,
Broomhilda (Kerry Washington).
The trail leads them to a plantation
owned by Calvin Candie (DiCaprio), a
dandy who trains slaves for barbarous
Mandingo fighting.
There are morbidly funny moments as
Django and King infiltrate the plantation
posing as buyers, the two sharing twisted
exchanges with the flamboyantly creepy
Candie and his chief house slave and Uncle
Tom gone psycho, Stephen (Jackson,
Tarantinos Pulp Fiction co-star).
Tarantino mostly lets them prattle on to
such lengths that whatever tension was
building is defused. A scene in which a
posse of Klan forerunners (led by Don
Johnson) debates the difficulties of seeing
out of their white hoods is hilarious for a
few moments. But then they talk the gag
into the ground, and keep on talking.
The humor co-exists uneasily and often
clumsily alongside a story so charged with
racial enmity. Tarantinos solution to every-
thing is to put guns and dynamite into peo-
ples hands, and while that might be good
escapism in a gangster story, it feels flimsy
and childish here.
In the wake of the school shootings at
Sandy Hook in Connecticut, Foxx talked
about the need for Hollywood to accept the
fact that movie violence can influence audi-
ences. Tarantino countered that blame
should fall to those who actually carry out a
crime.
Theyre both right, and its absurd to think
that the cartoon bloodshed of Django
Unchained might put viewers over the top
and send them out on a shooting rampage.
Yet it is reasonable to ask why we find a
Tarantino-style body count so entertaining
that he can keep doing the same thing over
and over, and we keep paying to see it.
Django Unchained, a Weinstein Co.
release, is rated R for strong graphic vio-
lence throughout, a vicious fight, language
and some nudity. Running time: 165 min-
utes. Two stars out of four.
DJANGO
whose 1966 lm Django is a godfather to
Django Unchained.
Samuel Jackson, who describes his conniv-
ing house servant character as the future most
hated black person in the history of cinema,
has worked on nearly all of Tarantinos lms.
He says Tarantinos interest in race comes less
from life than from the movies.
Its not like Quentin grew up in the hood,
says Jackson. He went to a lot of
Blaxsploitation lms and his computer-like
knowledge of cinema allows him to go to that
space.
Still, actually reenacting life on a pre-Civil
War Mississippi plantation was jarring for
some of the cast. Foxx says wallowing in that
world was sometimes painful.
You stop and think, `Wow, thats what they
did to us. They made us animals, says Foxx.
So what am I? Theyre giving me Evian water
and heated tents. Its like: OK, Im tripping a
little bit.
After the rst screening of Django drew a
positive reaction, Foxx breathed a sigh of relief.
The lm has since been nominated for ve
Golden Globe awards including best dramatic
picture.
It has also driven some black viewers to tears.
Though producer Harvey Weinstein had sug-
gested breaking the lengthy lm into two parts
like Kill Bill, Tarantino wanted to preserve it
as one experience, to hopefully have the same
stricken moviegoers cheering by the end.
What I tell people, I say: Youre not going to
have the same reaction to this movie as a white
person would because they dont have that
struggle, Foxx says.
Tarantino, 49, has always been particularly
aware of his lmmaking legacy, as if imagining
his shelf in a video store. He says that he
expects to stop making movies by the time hes
about 60, not wanting to dilute his lmography
with lesser lms of old age. He takes the long
view on Django, too, knowing it wont seem
contentious when, in a year, its on cable TV in
the afternoon: It becomes less controversial by
being made. It already exists.
History, in the end, has nothing on movie his-
tory.
Im always aware Im watching a movie
when Im watching a movie, Tarantino says.
As great as the movie is, Ive never forgotten I
was watching a movie. Its not the windshield
of your car.
TARANTINO
they do so 90 days after a governors signature.
Voter-approved laws allowing same-sex cou-
ples to marry take effect in Maryland in January
and in Maine on Saturday. California also
approved a law exempting clergy members
opposed to gay marriage from performing
same-sex marriage ceremonies.
In California, a rst-of-its-kind law bans a
form of psychotherapy aimed at making gay
teenagers straight but is on hold during a court
challenge. The law would ban what is known as
reparative or conversion therapy for minors;
such therapies are widely discredited by med-
ical professionals.
A number of laws seek to protect children
from bullying and abuse. Pennsylvania school
employees in contact with children, who
already must report suspected abuse, must now
be trained to recognize the warning signs, their
legal obligations and what are considered
appropriate relationships with children.
That law was being debated and voted on in
June as a jury was nding former Penn State
assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky guilty
of 45 counts for sexually abusing 10 boys over
15 years.
California coaches and administrators in K-
12 schools, as well as higher education employ-
ees who have regular contact with children, will
be required to report suspected child sexual
abuse. Oregon will require schools to adopt a
policy on teen dating violence, a law that fol-
lows state legislation earlier this year requiring
school employees to report acts of bullying,
harassment and online bullying.
In Florida, the Safe Harbor Act includes pro-
visions that require police to turn over to the
Department of Children and Families any chil-
dren who are alleged to be sexually exploited or
dependent for assessment and possible shelter.
States continue to wrestle with illegal immi-
gration. Pennsylvania will include a require-
ment that contractors on public works projects
make sure through the federal E-Verify system
that their employees are legal U.S. residents,
while a Montana ballot measure taking effect
denies illegal immigrants of state services.
Supporters say the Montana law will prevent
illegal immigrants from obtaining services and
prevent them from taking jobs at a time of high
unemployment. Opponents argued there is no
proof illegal immigrants are using state services
in Montana.
Also in Montana, voters overwhelmingly
passed a measure requiring parental notica-
tion for minors abortions, while in Georgia a
new law will prohibit doctors from performing
an abortion 20 weeks after an egg is fertilized
unless a pregnancy is determined to be med-
ically futile, meaning it would result in the birth
of a child unlikely to survive because of a seri-
ous defect. Georgia became the seventh state in
the country to approve the so-called fetal pain
act.
Today, we are reafrming Georgias com-
mitment to preserving the sanctity of all human
life, Gov. Nathan Deal said in a statement
released shortly after he signed the bill in May.
The measure passed over the objection of
many female lawmakers, including Sen.
Valencia Seay, who said the bills passage and
signing was unconscionable, but not surpris-
ing and typical of the male-dominated General
Assembly.
New Hampshire enacts a ban on a type of
late-term abortion procedure sometimes called
partial birth abortion after lawmakers over-
rode the veto of Gov. John Lynch, who said the
measure was unnecessary because federal law
already prohibits such procedures. Supporters
of the ban say they dont trust the government to
prosecute the law.

Both have disabilities and Jeanne, 70, is
totally blind. Shes lived at Hillsdale
Garden Apartments her entire adult life
and simply does not want to move.
Even if they did want to move, they
couldnt afford rst and last months rent,
plus deposit and the cost to move all their
belongings, she said.
Last week, she, with her husband by
her side, spoke in front of the San Mateo
Planning Commission to decry the rent
increases.
It is not just about Ron and I but
everyone in the county who faces this
reality, Berg said.
A lm crew has been documenting the
couples lives this past year and was on
hand when the Bergs spoke to the com-
mission last week. They plan to also
address the San Mateo City Council and
ultimately the San Mateo County Board
of Supervisors in the coming weeks on
the plight of the elderly and disabled who
live on a xed income as rents in the area
continue to climb.
We cant handle the rent increases,
Berg said.
They have previously fended off evic-
tion with the help of the Legal Aid
Society and will likely call on the
agencys services again if they are unable
to pay the rent in February.
San Mateo County does not have rent
control except in portions of East Palo
Alto, and Essex Property Trust, the owner
of Hillsdale Garden Apartments, have
made vast improvements to the property
since buying it six years ago.
But fresh paint and new landscaping do
not justify the rent increases for the
Bergs.
Someone has got to do something.
The county or city. The rent increases are
beyond those on a xed income, Berg
said.
Without the help of Meals on Wheels
and the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Berg
said she wouldnt know how her and her
husband could survive.
Were just existing, she said.
Hillsdale Garden Apartments consists
of 47 buildings on more than 30 acres and
is the largest rental property in San
Mateo.
BERGS
cuts. Administration ofcials conrmed the Friday meeting at the
White House in a bare-bones announcement that said the presi-
dent would host a meeting.
An aide to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said
the Kentucky lawmaker is eager to hear from the president.
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner issued a state-
ment that said the Ohio Republican would attend and continue
to stress that the House has already passed legislation to avert the
entire scal cliff and now the Senate must act.
While there was no guarantee of a compromise, Republicans
and Democrats said privately elements of any agreement would
likely include an extension of middle class tax cuts with
increased rates at upper incomes as well as cancellation of the
scheduled spending cuts. An extension of expiring unemploy-
ment benets, a reprieve for doctors who face a cut in Medicare
payments and possibly a short-term measure to prevent dairy
prices from soaring could also become part of a year-end bill,
they said.
That would postpone politically contentious disputes over
spending cuts for 2013.
Top Senate leaders said they remain ready to seek a last-
minute agreement. Yet there was no legislation pending and no
sign of negotiations in either the House or the Senate on a bill to
prevent the tax hikes and spending cuts that economists say could
send the economy into a recession.
Far from conciliatory, the rhetoric was confrontational and at
times unusually personal.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused Boehner
of running a dictatorship, citing his refusal to call a vote on leg-
islation to keep taxes steady for most while letting them rise at
upper incomes. The bill would pass overwhelmingly, Reid pre-
dicted, and said the Ohio Republican wont change his mind
because he fears it might cost him re-election as speaker when
the new Congress convenes next week.
Boehner seems to care more about keeping his speakership
than keeping the nation on a rm nancial footing, he said in
remarks on the Senate oor.
A few hours later, McConnell expressed frustration and
blamed the standoff on Obama and the Democrats.

suitable meeting places for the womens
group.
There was a real demand for a space
like this, she said.
Several groups meet regularly at the
cafe now and its large meeting room is
often booked up in advance as Glasgow
rents out the space. The cafe will host
womens and childrens events for free in
the space, Glasgow said.
See U sounds like the word xiyou in
Chinese and means treasured friend
a phrase Glasgow hopes rings true for
those who nd their way to the cafe.
Already an incredibly busy woman,
Glasgow publishes a Chinese-language
magazine called The Literati and has
also authored a book. Her eldest son
recently graduated from West Point and is
currently serving in Afghanistan but her
young daughter still lives at home just a
few blocks from the cafe. Her daughter,
however, tends to stick to her studies and
has not taken to the life of a small busi-
ness owner just yet, Glasgow said.
It is also Glasgows rst business ven-
ture although her nonprot experience is
extensive.
Her main goal is to not just make the
cafe a success when it comes to making
money, however, but to make it a suc-
cess based on the ultimate achievements
of the people who meet at the See U
Cafe.
Its my dream to see the world become
more harmonious and peaceful, she said.

legislation proved their swan songs for
their just-ended terms. Hill was termed
out of the Assembly and is now a state
senator for San Mateo; Simitian termed
out of the Senate and was elected to the
Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.
Hills 18 bills signed into law include
several that grew out of tragedies.
They are both so signicant and have
the potential to save many lives in the
future, Hill said.
Party buses, gas pipeline safety
A bill cracking down on underage
drinking on party buses closes a loophole
that holds limousine operators but not
buses responsible. The law requires com-
panies to make the person reserving the
bus responsible for disclosing if alcohol
will be served and if passengers are under
age.
A separate bill by Hill lets charter party
carriers keep trip reports in a hard copy or
an electronic format.
Three bills are linked to the fatal 2010
San Bruno explosion and re, including a
requirement that the California Public
Utilities Commission act on gas safety
recommendations by the National
Transportation Safety Board to install
emergency shutoff valves. The valves
wouldnt have prevented the San Bruno
disaster or the explosion of a Cupertino
condominium and seven-hour re in
Roseville, but could have controlled the
ensuing damage, Hill said.
Another bill requires the PUC to deter-
mine bonus compensation of utility exec-
utives based on stock price or nancial
performance while a third requires the
PUC to develop measures and standards
for gas safety. The PUC can assess penal-
ties against utilities for poor performance.
Hills other bills require the California
High-Speed Rail Authority board mem-
bers to disclose their nancial invest-
ments, allows funeral homes to obtain
licenses by securing a bond in lieu of an
audit report and lets the state suspend and
revoke a stores license for selling tobacco
to minors rather than imposing monetary
penalties. A store convicted three times in
a ve-year window faces a 45-day sus-
pension while ve convictions lead to a
license being revoked.
Hospitals, clinics and birthing centers
must inform parents where they can have
a child passenger restrain system inspect-
ed and insurance companies cant deny or
end homeowners policies to foster par-
ents.
Hills efforts also streamline govern-
ment by removing duplication in the
California Department of Public Health
and the Department of Food and
Agriculture. Both previously kept track of
medical waste. A different bill similarly
reduced duplication of biotechnology
inspections by the federal Food and Drug
Administration and the state Food and
Drug Branch.
His remaining legislation strengthens
real estate broker qualications to add two
years of practical experience, increases
the amount of clean electricity that gener-
ators can sell back to the grid and will help
save up to $35 million for water customers
in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and
San Francisco counties by letting the Bay
Area Water Supply and Conservation
Agency issue low-interest bonds for
drinking water infrastructure improve-
ments.
Red light cameras,
breast cancer research
Simitian, who made national news sev-
eral years ago with restrictions on cell-
phone use while driv-
ing, returned this year
to road-related legis-
lation. His Senate bill
requires red light
camera locations to
be based solely on
safety considerations,
prohibits using them
to raise revenue and
requires signs notify-
ing drivers when
cameras are in use.
Two bills focus on cancer one requir-
ing women after a mammogram to be
informed if they have dense breast tissue
and another allowing voluntary contribu-
tions to be tax write-offs. Without the ve-
year expansion bill, the write-offs would
have expired for the California Breast
Cancer Research Program and the
California Cancer Research Fund.
Simitian also proposed a bill to make
easier donating surplus, unopened med-
ication to uninsured Californians. In 2005,
Simitian had authored a law allowing
California counties to establish drug redis-
tribution programs.
Another Simitian-authored law warns
prospective tenants when a property is
subject to foreclosure. Currently, land-
lords arent required to disclose the fact to
possible tenants which have led to
reduced maintenance, lost security
deposits and even losing housing with lit-
tle notice.
Simitian also pushed a bill streamlining
school construction by using design-build,
an alternative that merges the construction
and design elements of a project.
Youth sentencing, privacy
After several years of effort, state Sen.
Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo,
had passed a law allowing juveniles sen-
tenced to life without parole the chance to
petition for a new sentence of 25 years to
life. The United States, the only country
that uses the sentence, has more than 300
youth serving the term. Yee said that bill
and others that had been signed into law
will protect the most vulnerable in our
society and ensure our government is
working for all Californians.
His other legislation increases fees on
lobbyists and ballot measure committees,
allows a court to order a public agency to
abide by the Brown Act and prevents pub-
lic and private colleges and universities
from asking students
and applicants for
social media user
names or passwords.
Another law pro-
hibits landlords from
evicting elder abuse
and domestic vio-
lence victims and let
victims break their
lease to escape
abusers.
Consumers can rest assured acupunc-
ture practitioners using the title doctor
have in factor earned a doctoral degree
from an accredited institution, the stan-
dards of production of rice-based Asian
noodles are dened and the Controllers
Ofce will be reimbursed for the expense
of revenue bonds.
Government
transparency, recycling
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, had 11 pieces of legislation signed
by the governor,
including four
changes to the inde-
pendent expenditure
law as a way to
increase transparency.
I think what Ive
been focusing on is
just making govern-
ment work better for
people, Gordon said.
Gordon also
worked to strengthen the enforcement of
local codes for building zoning, grading
and environmental health. He also
addressed the problem of improper tire
disposal at unpermitted facilities by allow-
ing CalRecycle authorities to streamline
the enforcement process. He also created
greater enforcement of out-of-state
rogue recyclers who bring goods into
the state by the tractor-trailer load to take
advantage of the California Redemption
Value fund. Annually, an estimated $40
million in fraud is committed, according
to his ofce.
Another bill creates the necessary
framework for consumer owned and oper-
ated health plans to apply for federal start-
up funds.
Voters who cant drop off their own bal-
lot can have any person in the same house-
hold or a family member do so at a polling
place or election ofce. Nonprot land
management agencies can claim a proper-
ty tax exemption as a way to protect
Californias open spaces and dentists will
be alerted to changes by dental plans
about contracting, coverage and payment
of services.
Caltrans will conduct a limited pilot
program to develop up to six transporta-
tion projects using a new contracting
method thanks to Gordons legislation and
duplicate contracting requirements are
gone for Cal Fire.
Gordon concedes his legislation isnt
necessarily the hottest topic, but that is not
his goal.
I dont grab headlines but Im OK with
that. If I can just make things work better,
thats what is important, he said.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your instinct for
survival is especially strong. Chances are, youll be
able to move with certainty, thanks to your decisive
intuition.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You are likely to
be unusually receptive to thoughts, ideas and
messages that are of an inspirational nature. More
importantly, youll know how to put them to work
for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Achieving your
objectives might be somewhat diffcult, but to the
amazement of your associates, youll make it look
easy. A dab of ingenuity on your part will do the
trick.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- In order to satisfy your
desire for companionship, youll seek out friends
who are as active and optimistic as you are, and
who want to intermingle with others, just like you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your independent
spirit might be forced to resort to the support and
resources of others, but it wont be as bad as you
thought. Each party will have something to gain
from the other.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Thankfully youll have
a sense of humor and a philosophical attitude,
because itll get you past an incident that might
otherwise produce a bad scene. Instead, youll put
everyone at ease.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- With your ability to
transform what appears to be useless into
something worthwhile and functional, youll turn
around an uncomfortable moment when everyone
thought all was lost.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Thankfully, youll have
the ability to charm the birds out of the trees. A word
of caution, however: Dont attempt to use this talent
to manipulate others into doing your bidding.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Due more to the efforts
of others rather than your own, good things of a
material nature could develop for you. If youre
smart, youll share what you gain.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Whatever you do,
dont lose your sense of humor or take life too
seriously. If you keep your cool, things will get better
as the clock ticks on.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You wont be out
of line reminding someone who owes you money
that his or her account is long overdue. Even if he
or she cant pay it back in entirety, some is better
than none.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Richard M. Alhona
Case Number 122863
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Richard M. Alhona. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Patricia L. Alhona in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Patricia
L. Alhona be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 14, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
