SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cain shutdown the Texas Rangers with the type ofsuffocating pitching that put the San

Francisco Giants in the World Series.Two more games like this and theyll

win the World Series.Cain was sharp, the Rangers bullpen

was not and San Francisco broke awayfor a 9-0 win Thursday night. The Giantsheaded to Texas with a 2-0 lead thatlooked to come way too easily.

Edgar Renteria reprised his Octobersuccess with a go-ahead home run, andthe Giants broke away with seven runs inthe eighth, the biggest inning in theirpostseason history.

Texas relievers walked four straightbatters with two outs in the eighth, let-ting the game out of control. At this rate,team president and part-owner NolanRyan probably wants to grab a ball him-self and get on the mound.

Texas set a record for most runsallowed in a franchises first two Seriesgames.

You take all the runs you can get,Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Itsnice to have a cushion going into theninth.

Cain drew frenzied ovations from acrowd waving Halloween-coloredorange pompoms, a day after the Giantswon the opener 11-7.

After scoring just 19 runs in the six-game win over Philadelphia in the NLchampionship series, San Francisco hasoutscored Texas 20-7 and outhit theRangers .314 to .227.

C.J. Wilson allowed Renterias fifth-inning homer, then left the moundaccompanied by a trainer with a blister

on the middle finger of his pitching handfollowing a leadoff walk in the seventh.Juan Uribe added a run-scoring singleagainst reliever Darren Oliver.

San Mateo Highs two-story build-ing is the second project in the San MateoUnion High School District to benefit fromthe funds but far from the last.

The strength of this program doesnt lie ona few people, said Ikeda. Its everybodyhelping out.

First state bike sharing program to debutCalifornias first regional bicycle sharing program is set to

debut in the Bay Area in 2011 with the help of multi-million dol-lar grants from local transportation organizations.

In late 2011, about 1,000 bikes at 100 kiosks will be installedthroughout the Bay Area, including 50 in San Francisco. Theproject will receive about $4.3 million from the MetropolitanTransportation Commission and $1.4 million from other partners.

Another $1.3 million will come from the Bay Area Air QualityManagement District, which is managing the project.

Transportation is really one of the major sources of air pollu-tion in the Bay Area, Aaron Richardson, spokesman for the man-agement district said. Any way that we can get motor vehicles toreduce emissions is something that we look at.

Richardson said the initiative will work like a car sharing pro-gram, where registered users will potentially use smart cards orrent the bikes with credit cards.

These would be bikes you would use for a short trip to com-plete a BART ride, he said. Its not like a bike youd be rentingfor the weekend.

Participating cities include San Francisco, Redwood City,Mountain View, Palo Alto and San Jose.

Muni is an organization among partners of the pilot bicycleprogram.

Our goals are to put public transit first,Muni spokesman PaulRose said.

This will help expand our transportation options not only inthe city but throughout the Bay Area, whether people are work-ing or visiting, he said.

The program is still in its early stages, with organizers lookingfor bicycle vendors to help implement it, Richardson said.

Court OKs demolitionpermit for old Palo Alto home

PALO ALTO A state appeals court decision could pavethe way for demolition of Palo Altos oldest house.

The Sixth District Court of Appeal on Wednesday said thecity had followed proper procedures and did not need to con-duct an environmental impact review before issuing a demoli-tion permit for the Juana Briones House.

The ruling was a blow to preservationists, who say the old

adobe home holds valuable information about life on an earlyCalifornia rancho.It was built in 1844 by Juana Briones, one of only a few

dozen women who owned land in the state.The city declared the home a public nuisance in 1996 after it

suffered earthquake damage. Its current owners, Jaim Nulmanand Avelyn Welczer, have sought to demolish it for more thana decade. They say the needed repairs would be prohibitivelyexpensive.

Crews removing soil contaminated with lead near the build-ing site made the discovery on Monday.

Researchers are now trying to determine why they werethere and who they belong to. An archaeologist monitoring thesoil removal work is helping to catalog and document the dis-covery.

SACRAMENTO Democrat JerryBrown holds a double-digit lead overRepublican Meg Whitman in their con-test for California governor less than aweek before Election Day, according to aField Poll released Thursday.

The survey found the former two-term

governor leading the former eBay chiefexecutive 49 percent to 39 percentamong likely voters. It is the third pollreleased in the past week showing Brownleading a race considered too close to calla month ago.

I dont remember anything in recentmemory, going back 50 years, a candi-date riding this low in the polls overtak-ing and winning, this close to an elec-tion, said Jaime Regalado, executivedirector of the Pat Brown Institute ofPublic Affairs at California StateUniversity, Los Angeles.

That doesnt bode well for Whitman, abillionaire who has spent nearly $142million of her own money in her first bidfor political office. She has spent the pasttwo weeks traveling California in a bid towoo the independent voters she needs to

win in a state where Democrats hold a13-point registration advantage.

At a campaign stop Thursday in theblue-collar Central Valley city ofStockton, Whitman urged attendees tocontact everyone they know to get out thevote.

This is going to be a tight race. I need

your support, she told the crowd ofabout 75 employees at the JM Eagleplastic pipe manufacturing plant.

Whitman brushed off the Field Pollresults, saying that her campaignsinternal polls the polls I believe show were in a dead heat, and weregaining momentum every single day.

Brown appears to be gaining favoramong undecided voters, who in previ-ous polls made up about a fifth of likelyvoters. Thursdays poll shows 12 percentremain undecided.

What weve known in the history ofelections, politics and campaigns is thatundecided voters like to see wheremomentum is going and then they arelikely to jump on the bandwagon,Regalado said. Simply by looking at the

polls, Jerry has to be happy and Meg hasto be worried.Just a month ago, Brown and Whitman

were tied after a summer of intenseadvertising and campaigning byWhitman. Brown began advertising overthe Labor Day weekend.

The general election campaign for

governor has become the most expensivein the states history, according to theCalifornia Fair Political PracticesCommission.

The candidates have met in threedebates this fall, and each dealt with con-troversies that temporarily overshadowedtheir campaigns. Whitman was forced toadmit that her former housekeeper ofnine years was an illegal immigrant from

Mexico, after she called on holdingemployers accountable for hiring illegalworkers. Whitman says she fired NickyDiaz Santillan last year when she learnedSantillan was in the country illegally.

Meanwhile, a female Brown campaignaide was overheard on a leaked audiotape calling Whitman a whore for cut-ting a deal with a police union for itsendorsement. Brown apologized for theremark but continued to attack his rivalfor bowing to union pressure.

The Field Poll indicates Brown hasshored up his support among women andLatinos, traditionally Democratic-lean-ing constituencies that Whitman hasaggressively targeted. Latinos are sup-porting Brown, the state attorney general,57 percent to 27 percent, while womensupport him 51 percent to 35 percent.

Of the likely voters interviewed, 21percent have already cast their ballots 48 percent in favor of Brown and 41 per-cent in support of Whitman. An estimat-ed 55 percent of likely voters are expect-ed to cast their ballots by mail, a recordhigh percentage for a general election inCalifornia.

They need to betreated aggressively and quickly. And this onewas. I feel fantastic.

chairman of Clean EnergySystems, said the firmrecently received $30 mil-lion in federal stimulusmoney, which will let thecompany expand while

creating or retaining morethan 150 jobs.

Participants inCalifornia have suggested the program hasfallen short of expectations to create long-term jobs. However, thousands of teachers,construction workers, police officers and fire-fighters throughout the state have been able tokeep working as a result of the billions of dol-lars that flowed to school districts and localgovernments over the past two years.

Fiorina on Thursday continued to opposefederal stimulus spending, which Boxer sup-ports, and said it failed to create jobs orimprove the states 12.4 percent unemploy-ment rate. She said any unspent moneyshould be used to put down the deficit.

Political gripesin Internet ageBy David EspoTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON When a widely publi-cized poll showed Republican John Kasich witha commanding, 10-point advantage in Ohios

governors race, aides to Democratic Gov. TedStrickland fought back hard.

Against the poll.With just two weeks until Election Day, it

is our opinion that the Quinnipiac polls areirresponsible, inaccurate and completelyremoved from the reality of the Ohio gover-nors race, the campaign said in a statementthat noted other private and public surveyswere showing a much closer contest.

The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute,an organization with an unchallenged reputa-tion for nonpartisanship, responded mildly.We stand by our numbers and our overallrecord for reliability, said Doug Schwartz, theorganizations polling director.

The flare-up underscored a widely held viewamong both politicians and pollsters that polls,once used largely to help a candidate shape strat-

egy, increasingly can affect the outcome of polit-ical campaigns in the Internet Age. Candidatesand their allies instantly disseminate bare-bonesresults, seizing on those that reflect well on theirown prospects, ignoring the rest and generallyskipping over details that might caution peopleabout reading too much into them.

They can affect contributions. They do affectnews coverage in a substantial way. They canaffect volunteers. They can affect (voter) inter-est, and through all those things can affect theoutcome of a race said Mark Mellman, aDemocratic pollster not involved in the Ohiogovernors contest.

BELL Leaders of this scandal-riddencitys police union, frustrated by what they seeas a lack of urgency to investigate corruptionin their own department, are calling for thesuspension of a high-ranking police officialand an investigation of their ousted formerpolice chief.

Kurt Owens, vice president of the Bell

Police Officers Association, said Thursdaythat he and other veteran officers knew foryears of abusive towing practices that targetedHispanic drivers and had heard allegations ofpolice involvement in voter fraud. He said heand others complained to their superiors andto outside investigators but saw little done tostop it.

Ive been to the FBI and the DAs office onissues like this and others that came up threeor four years ago, Owens, a 23-year veteran

of the department, told the Associated Pressafter a news conference outside the cityssmall police headquarters. We were told, Wethink this is an interdepartment feud, and,Bring us more evidence.

Since the Los Angeles Times reported inJuly that Bells former city manager, policechief, and four of its five City Council mem-bers were among officials paid huge salariesto run the working-class city, several agencieshave confirmed they are investigating.

HONOLULU Secretary ofState Hillary Rodham Clinton onThursday recited a series of U.S.grievances with Beijings policies,ranging from currency rates tohuman rights, but said the U.S. isseeking a closer relationship withChina, not trying to check its grow-ing power.

In a speech in Hawaii at the startof a two-week tour of the AsianPacific region, Clinton said the U.S.would remain forward deployedin the area and not relinquish its roleas a major power there. She calledon China to expand its cooperationwith the U.S., even as its power andinfluence expands.

It is not in anyones interest forthe United States and China to seeeach other as adversaries, she said.

Clinton recited a list of issueswhere the U.S. and China are cur-

rently at odds. They include effortsto blunt the nuclear threats posed byIran and North Korea, improvestrained military-to-military ties,

combat climate change and resolveU.S. concerns over Chinas tradeand currency policies.

We seek a deeper dialogue in aneffort to build trust and establishrules of the road as our militaries

operate in greater proximity,Clinton said. She called on China tomake responsible changes in itscurrency policies, to address ayawning trade imbalance betweenthe two countries.

Clinton did not address reportsthat China had lifted a moratorium

on exports of rare earths mineralscritical to the high-tech industry. OnWednesday she had called on Chinato clarify its policy on the issue,which has raised global concerns.

Clinton also said Thursday thatChina should work with its neigh-bors to ease tensions over territorialdisputes in the East and SouthChina Seas. Beijing has alarmedsome of its neighbors with whatmany see as a more assertive stance.

Meanwhile, U.S. officials recent-ly riled their Chinese counterpartsby declaring that the U.S. has astake in settling these disputes.China regards the South China Seaas its own.

Clinton will meet on Saturdaywith Chinese State Councilor DaiBingguo on Chinas Hainan Island a last-minute addition to the itin-erary to press those messages.

Clinton cites differences with China Jury convicts Smithspsychiatrist,boyfriend

LOS ANGELES A jury onThursday convicted Anna NicoleSmiths psychiatrist and boyfriend ofconspiring to use false names toobtain prescription drugs for the for-mer Playboy model and reality TVstar but acquitted the doctor who pre-

scribed a plethora of drugs for her.Prosecutors contended during thenine-week trial that the defendantswere dazzled by Smiths glamor andfilled her demands for prescriptiondrugs to protect their insider status inher personal life and her celebrityworld.

The jury was asked to decide if thethree defendants were trying torelieve Smiths emotional and physi-cal pain or were feeding her addictionto prescription drugs.

Smith eventually died of an acci-dental drug overdose in Florida in2007, but the defendants were notcharged in her death.

Dr. Sandeep Kapoor said he feltshellshocked and exhilarated aboutbeing acquitted.

This is not just a victory for me,but for patients everywhere who suf-fer chronic pain, an emotionalKapoor said outside the courthouse.

WASHINGTON The tip thatled to the FBIs subway bombingsting came from a source in theMuslim community: A Pakistani-

born man from a middle-class sub-urb was trying to join a terroristgroup, law enforcement officialssaid Thursday.

Farooque Ahmed, a naturalizedcitizen arrested Wednesday, was amarried father who had a good jobwith a telecommunications compa-

ny. Authorities say he also was eagerto kill Americans in Afghanistan andcommitted to becoming a martyr.

Ahmed thought he had foundwhat he wanted, a pair of al-Qaidaoperatives who would help himcarry out an attack on the nationssecond-busiest subway, according

to court documents unsealedThursday. But the operatives werereally undercover investigatorswhose meetings at a local hotelroom were all staged with theFBIs cameras rolling, law enforce-ment officials said, speaking oncondition of anonymity because

the investigation continues.What followed was an elaborate

ruse in which Ahmed was givenintelligence-gathering duties andcoded information in a Quran bytwo individuals posing as al-Qaidaoperatives as part of the supposedplot to kill commuters.

A Mexico massacrein unfamiliar place:The capital

MEXICO CITY Armed men rumbled into a grittyneighborhood of the Mexican capital Thursday and gunneddown six men hanging around a convenience store, fuelingfears that one of the worlds largest cities is falling prey to thecartel-style violence that has long terrorized other parts of thecountry.

More than 50 people have been killed in the past week in

five apparently unrelated massacres, including four shotThursday near the border city of Ciudad Juarez. But theMexico City shooting has raised alarm among residents abouta drug war that has long seemed distant.

Massacres have arrived in Mexico City, El Universalnewspaper declared. But Mexico City Attorney GeneralMiguel Angel Mancera said he did not know if drug gangswere involved in the middle-of-the night shooting in Tepito, aworking-class neighborhood just north of the colonial center.

Drug dealing is rampant in Tepito, but Mancera said therealso have been problems with disputes among carjackinggangs.

Russias Kamchatkavolcanoes spew giant ash clouds

MOSCOW Two volcanoes erupted Thursday onRussias far-eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, tossing massiveash clouds miles (kilometers) into the air, forcing flights to

divert and blanketing one town with thick, heavy ash.The Klyuchevskaya Sopka, Eurasias highest active vol-cano, exploded along with the Shiveluch volcano, 45 miles(70 kilometers) to the northeast, the Russian EmergencySituations Ministrys branch in Kamchatka said, adding thatflights in the area had to change course.

Ash clouds from the remote volcanoes billowed up to33,000 feet (10 kilometers) and were spreading east acrossthe Pacific Ocean, vulcanologist Sergei Senyukov toldRossiya 24 television. Streams of lava flowed down theslopes of Shiveluch.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Thursdayissued a notice to pilots that they should remain alert for pos-sible ash clouds, saying emissions have intermittently com-plicated air travel in the area of the Kamchatkan Peninsula.

French protests weaken but still disrupt flightsPARIS Strikes caused hassles for air travelers in France

on Thursday, but nationwide street protests over a plan to

raise the retirement age to 62 failed to draw the massivecrowds of weeks past a sign of slackening resolve amongthe bills opponents.

Parliament has already approved raising the retirement agefrom 60 to 62, but union leaders insist they will not give uptheir fight until conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy actu-ally signs the bill. Still, fewer protesters followed them intothe streets this time, and strikes by train and oil workers havebeen tapering off in recent days.

The recently-apprehended womanprosecutors say provided the gun used ina 2004 shooting at a Redwood Cityquincenera that left one teen dead andanother wounded was actually returning

to the United States to face the charges,according to her defense attorney.

The evidence will show that Ana DeliaCervantes, 26, was coming back to theUnited States to clear this up becauseshes known this was hanging over herhead for quite a while, said defenseattorney Eric Liberman.

Cervantes was arrested Sept. 19 cross-ing the border and returned to San MateoCounty to face charges of murder,attempted murder and aiding a criminal.She is also charged with a gang enhance-ment which could send her to prison forlife without parole if convicted.

Cervantes yesterday pleaded notguilty to all charges and returns to courtNov. 9 to set a preliminary hearing date

Although Cervantes did not allegedlypull the trigger that killed VicenteElisondo Mendoza in April 2004, prose-cutors charged her with murder because

they say she partici-pated in a crime thatresulted in a personsdeath.

Accomplice lia-bility makes her asguilty as the shooter.It is the same intent,said prosecutor JoeCannon.

Cervantes report-edly handed the gun to her common-lawhusband, Heriberto Sanchez, after heexchanged words with the victim at RedMorton Park in Redwood City. Sanchezallegedly shot Mendoza and fled whileCervantes purposely lied to authoritiesabout the shooters identity. He remainsat large and there is still an outstandingwarrant for his arrest.

The shooting was gang-related, withSanchez and Cervantes affiliated withSureos and Mendoza a Norteo,Cannon said.

But Liberman said his client has neverbeen a member of the gang.

Theres no question the dispute that

arose was in fact gang-related but Ms.Cervantes had no part in that, Libermansaid.

According to neighbors and police

after the shooting, Mendoza and hisfriends were at the community center fora quincenera when another group arrivedand began belting them with Corona bot-tles.

During the skirmish, Cervantesallegedly pulled a gun from her purseand handed it to Sanchez who shot

Mendoza fatally and a 16-year-old boyin the leg.When interviewed by police, she

reportedly did not disclose her relation-ship to Sanchez and led them astrayabout the shooters identity and directionofflight.

After police said they figured out shewas apparently setting up the other man,she fled to Mexico where she remaineduntil late last month.

Cervantes does not know whereSanchez is, Liberman said.

Liberman did not want to make boldassertions about his clients involvementin the case but said hes comfortablebased on the evidence hes seen so far tosay shes not guilty of murder.

She was the best principal I everworked for. She was like a mother toeveryone, Smith said. Kids were not

afraid to go into her office. She had sucha big heart.

Taylor made everyone around herwant to be better, Smith said.

Taylor also helped shape the KidsCloset and holiday program. She madethe gymnasium available to SamaritanHouse for free clothes distributionsknown as Super Saturdays. Theclothes program ultimately became theKids Closet.

The party of negativityEditor,

The current recession has madeit clear which party has gone allout to relieve the financial suffer-ing for millions of Americanswho have lost their jobs, homesand health benefits until therecently-passed health care reformbill became law.

When first taking office,President Obama and his adminis-tration realized that the issues fac-ing the nation were too criticaland diversified to solve unlessboth parties joined together tosolve them. That is why hereached across the aisle forRepublican support, but he wasturned down. The party of NOhas since been flying its banner of

criticism over all actions taken bythe current administration.

Instead of making positive con-tributions, the Republican Partybegan holding fund-raising TeaParties around the nation in aneffort to regain a majority inCongress this November and theWhite House in 2012.

For voters who choose to sup-port the party of negativity, theyare asking for much more griefand suffering than the currentrecession has brought about.

Philosophical differencesEditor,Kitty Lopez quotes Hubert

Humphrey in Benefits ofSequoia in her letter in the Oct.16 edition of the Daily Journal tosupport governments role in chari-table aspects of our society. Thissuggested that the moral test ofgovernment is how it treats thechildren, the elderly, the sick, theneedy and the handicapped. Thisis a better moral test of a socie-

ty not government.As an elected member of the

Sequoia Healthcare District, I had

occasion to question Lopezregarding Samaritan Houses abil-ity to survive without grants fromtaxpayer dollars. As I expected,she said they could survive. And Iexpect they would be looked uponmore favorably by contributors.

The issue in the SequoiaHealthcare District debate is notwhether the nonprofit agencieswhich receive public funds fromthe district are worthy. The unan-swered question is, By whatauthority does the district contin-ue to collect taxes intended forsupport of Sequoia Hospital,which it no longer owns, and dis-pense them in a manner more

appropriate for United Way?

Fly it highEditor,It saddened me as I drove

around the town on July 4,Memorial Day and Sept. 11 that Ididnt see many flags flying in thewind.

I remember as a young manseeing flags everywhere: in thepark, downtown, along El CaminoReal and up and down thePeninsula. Many were flown bycivic clubs and veterans organi-zations. Where have they gone?

What has happened? Are thecitizens of our country losingtheir patriotism, or is flying a flagtoo political a statement? Are weafraid of offending newcomers onthe block?

I believe we owe our fallenheroes our much-needed respectby flying our flag, no matter

which political party we believe isright or wrong.

Its time to dust off Old Glory

and fly it high.

San Mateo County supervisorcampaign between Don Horsely

and April Vargas over who dis-

likes the Tea Party movement themost i.e., who is the most lib-

That childish squabble isntwhat irks me the most. As a peri-odic out-of-town visitor to the

Bay Area, I am always flabber-gasted by the regions entrenchedliberalism, which never changes

from decade to decade, regardlessof a history of repeated failures

for the largely discredited ideolo-gy.

I am not a member of any Tea

Party organization. However, Ihave the sense to acknowledge

that there is indeed a movementtaking place in our nation againstincreased government controlover our lives. So my question is

this: When will the Bay Area everget up to speed with the inde-pendence movement about to

sweep the rest of the country?Are voters in the Bay Area too

conservative to see the need forreal change?

San Mateo County voters willhead to the polls Nov. 2 forthe general election. The

Daily Journal is making the follow-ing recommendations for federal,state and local candidates, proposi-tions and measures.

U.S.Senate:No recommendationDistrict 12 U.S.representative:Jackie SpeierDistrict 14 U.S.representative: Anna Eshoo

State officesGovernor:Jerry BrownLieutenant governor:Gavin NewsomAttorney general:Steve CooleyInsurance commissioner:Dave JonesSecretary of state: Debra BowenController:John ChiangTreasurer:Bill LockyerSuperintendent of public instruction: LarryAcevesDistrict 8 Senate:Leland YeeDistrict 12 Assembly:Fiona MaDistrict 19 Assembly:Jerry HillDistrict 21 Assembly:Rich Gordon

State propositionsProposition 19-NOAllows people 21 years and older to

possess,cultivate or transport marijuana forpersonal use and proponents say it couldgenerate $1.4 billion in revenue for thestate.If you believe marijuana should belegalized,this proposition is the wrong wayto do it.Local governments could stillprohibit recreational marijuana,creating aburden on city officials and police whowould be tasked with the responsibility of

new regulations.Such a responsibility hasalready proven to be burdensomefor medicinal marijuana,whichhas a true benefit for those whorequire it for physical ailments.

***Proposition 20-YES,Proposition 27-NOCalifornias legislative districtshave been drawn by those inpower to ensure safedistrictsfor their colleagues.In doing so,

they have created a system inwhich there is little competition for somemembers of the state Assembly and Senateand little incentive for those on either sideof the aisle to work with members of theopposing party since they are virtuallyassured of re-election.Proposition 20 would expand the role ofthe commission to include congressionaldistricts and would eliminate anytemptation to draw districts for politicalgain.Proposition 27 would eliminate thecommission before it has a chance toreform a sorely broken system.

***Proposition 21-NOWould establish an $18 surcharge on everyvehicle owners Department of MotorVehicle annual bill in exchange for freeaccess to state parks.Its a way for the stateto raise the car tax under the auspices of abenefit to the parks system when it would

actually funnel money it collects into thegeneral fund.

***Proposition 22-YESProposition 22 will prohibit the state,evenduring a period of severe financial hardship,from delaying the distribution of taxrevenue for transportation,redevelopmentor local government projects and services.

***Proposition 23-NO

Proposition 23 would suspendlegislation passed in 2006 that

aimed to reduce greenhousegas emissions untilunemployment dropsbelow 5.5 percent for fourconsecutive quarters.Arguments for or against

climate change aside,AB 32takes solid steps to reducing

emissions and ensuring clean airand water for our state.It is a questthat should not be way-laid by our currenteconomic cycle.

***Proposition 24-NOA law signed by the governor in 2009 as partof the budget deal allowed multistatebusinesses a new way to determine howmuch of their income that California taxes.Under the law,businesses can shift operatinglosses to prior and future tax years,share taxcredits with affiliated corporations and use asales-based income calculation.

***Proposition 25-NOProponents claim this proposal would endthe annual gridlock in Sacramento when itcomes to passing the state budget.Intheory,it would.However,the current two-thirds majority is an important safeguardagainst a legislative majority freelyincreasing new taxes and state worker pay

and pensions.Reducing the threshold for astate budget passage should not beenacted until redistricting reform is underway so more moderate legislators on bothsides of the aisle have a chance to workwith each other.

***Proposition 26-NOThis proposition would broaden the

definition of taxes to include manypayments currently considered to be feesor charges.It would require state and localproposals to increase revenue to beapproved by two-thirds of the stateAssembly and Senate or local voters.

NEW YORK Stocks struggled to amixed finish Thursday after weak earn-ings news from 3M and other companies

weighed on the market.The Dow Jones industrial average lost

12 points, but broader indexes postedslight gains. The market had risen steadi-ly in the opening moments of tradingfollowing a surprise drop in first-timeclaims for unemployment benefits, push-ing the Dow up as high as 53.

3M Co. set a negative tone with adownbeat view on the economy and alower forecast for full-year earnings.3Ms dim assessment of the U.S. andEuropean economies was a soberingreminder that growth in many developednations remains weak. The maker ofeverything from Post-It notes to ScotchTape called growth in those regionsuninspiring. Its shares fell 6.4 percent.

Apple Inc. fell about 1 percent afterwarning in a regulatory filing that profitmargins might narrow next year.Colgate-Palmolive Co. also said itexpects sales growth to slow next year.

Not all the corporate news was bad.

Eastman Kodak Co. rose 15.4 percentafter saying more customers turned tohome and office printers. Motorola Inc.

said its phone division was profitable forthe first time in three years as the com-pany bets consumers will snap up moresmart phones like the Droid X.

Avon Products Inc. sank 5.6 percentafter reporting suprisingly poor resultsfrom emerging markets. The beautyproducts seller said weakness in Braziland Russia hurt quarterly profits. Manycompanies have relied heavily on expan-sion in developing countries to offsetlagging sales in the U.S. and Europe.

Mixed earnings over the past few dayssapped energy from an upswing on thestock market, which has been on a near-ly unbroken rise since early September.

Pharmaceutical companies Bayer AGand Sanofi-Aventis SA and automakerHyundai Motor Co. kicked off earnings

worldwide with upbeat results, sendingstocks higher overseas before U.S. mar-kets opened.

A surprise drop in claims for unem-ployment insurance provided the mostencouragement about the economy.

Claims fell to their lowest level in threemonths, bolstering hopes that companiesmight start ramping up hiring soon.

The Dow fell 12.33, or 0.1 percent, toclose at 11,113.95.

The Standard & Poors 500 index rose

1.33 point to 1,183.78, while the Nasdaqcomposite rose 4.11, or 0.2 percent, to2,507.37

Not even a falling dollar could providesupport for the market. Stocks and com-modities have been very sensitive to themovement of the dollar in recent weeks.A decline in the dollar makes riskierassets priced in the currency, such asgold, oil and domestic stocks, moreattractive to investors.

The dollar was broadly lower againstother currencies, while commoditiesprices mostly rose. Gold rose $19.90 to$1,342.50 an ounce.

Bond prices rose. The yield on thebenchmark 10-year Treasury note,which moves opposite its price, fell to

2.66 percent from 2.72 percent lateWednesday.

Gaining stocks narrowly outpaceddeclining ones on the New York StockExchange, where consdoliated volumecame to 4.3 billion shares.

Stocks give up gainsWall Street

By Jeannine AversaTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The newCongress that begins in January willconfront an economy and a job marketthat will improve only slightly next year,according to an Associated Press survey

of leading economists that found themgloomier than they were three monthsago.

Unemployment will dip only a bitfrom the current 9.6 percent to a still-high 9 percent at the end of 2011, in theirview. In fact, some economists nowthink unemployment wont drop to a his-torically normal 5.5 percent to 6 percentuntil at least 2018 several years laterthan previously envisioned.

The latest quarterly AP survey shows

economists are pushing back their esti-mates of when key barometers of health hiring, spending, economic growth will signal strength.

When you look to 2011, the words todescribe the economy are glum, lousy,subpar, said Rajeev Dhawan,director ofGeorgia State Universitys Economic

Forecasting Center.In the previous survey in July, the

economists had predicted unemploy-ment of 8.7 percent at the end of nextyear. In the survey before that, they fore-saw 8.4 percent.

Voter frustration over unemploymentis threatening to cost Democrats theircontrol of the House, and maybe theSenate, in the midterm electionsTuesday. The new Congress appearsunlikely to approve more spending to try

to invigorate the economy and the jobmarket. And the Federal Reserve is run-ning out of options.

Yet the economists the AP surveyedstill expect the economy to sidestepsome threats that had raised concerns inrecent months. They dismiss the likeli-hood of a second recession, for instance,

and they think the risk of deflation isremote. Deflation is a prolonged drop inprices and wages, which can make peo-ple unwilling to spend.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke hasexpressed concern about deflation one reason the Fed will probablyannounce Wednesday that it will buyTreasury bonds to try to push downinterest rates on loans. Lower ratesmight spur more borrowing and spend-ing and help raise prices.

WASHINGTON There were accu-sations of an executive slush fund, finan-cial shenanigans and dictatorial manage-ment. But it was the $900,000 in secretsexual harassment payments that got thehead of the nations fourth-largest hous-ing authority fired and had the mayorasking how the housing board missed itall.

Yet Philadelphias isnt even close tothe worst of dysfunctional housing agen-cies across the country that operate withno budgets, untrained staff and shoddyrecord-keeping, according to a review bythe Associated Press of inspection and

audit records of 146 housing authoritiesthat the government considered the most

troubled.The documents show the U.S. spends

hundreds of millions of dollars each yearon housing authorities that dont followfinancial rules or, worse, lack even themost basic policies for spending pettycash or using government credit cards.

How is it possible that you didntknow? Philadelphia Mayor MichaelNutter asked as his city became a high-profile symbol of scandal and misman-agement in the nations public housingsystem. It defies logic and credibilitythat all of these things could be keptaway from the board for so long a peri-od of time.

Actually, it doesnt.

The APs review found that federalmoney intended for one program occa-

sionally gets used for others. Contractsare signed without bidding or approval.In New London, Conn., housing officialshad no written contracts at all.

Yet Washingtons hands are largelytied since the threat of withholding orreducing funding to punish irresponsiblehousing authorities ultimately would ineffect penalize poor tenants for the mis-management of their landlords.

All of this is supposed to be audited,but sometimes that either doesnt getdone or theres no paperwork on file toprove it. Early this year, federal officialswere still trying to resolve problemswith 2006 and 2007 audits fromHighland Park, Ill.

GM moves to shore upfinances ahead of stock saleDETROIT General Motors Co.

moved to strengthen its finances aheadof an initial public stock sale,announcing plans on Thursday to cutdebt and pension obligations by $11billion.

The moves, including a big paymentto U.S. taxpayers, are aimed at makingthe automakers balance sheet lookmore attractive to potential investorswho might buy GM stock in an offeringexpected next month.

The debt repayment is a huge mile-

stone in GMs comeback from a finan-

cial calamity that began in 2008 afteryears of billion-dollar losses. The autogiant, once a symbol of Americanindustrial might, nearly ran out ofmoney and needed bankruptcy and ahuge government bailout to stay inbusiness. Thursdays plan is anothersign that GM has begun rebuildingitself and wants to cut ties with thegovernment, its largest shareholder.

Cal/OSHA saysfederal audit off mark

LOS ANGELES Officials at theCalifornia Division of Occupational

Safety and Health say last months fed-eral audit calling for better training andquicker complaint resolution missedthe mark, relying on outdated informa-tion and poor communication for manyof its criticisms.

In a formal response to federal laborofficials provided to the AssociatedPress on Thursday, Cal/OSHA DirectorJohn Duncan pledges to undertakesome corrective measures outlined bythe audit but said federal auditors seemto have misunderstood the states pro-cedures in several instances.

It has been two years since JohnPhilipopoulos last saw AmirCarlisle in the flesh, and theBurlingame football coach said he isstill having nightmares.

A sophomore at the time, Carlisleran for 265 yards and two touch-downs in a 41-14 Kings Academyvictory. Now a senior for theKnights who has given a verbalcommitment to Stanford but contin-ues to be pursued by the likes ofArizona State, Cal, USC and others,according to Knights coach RonKellner Carlisle leads his 4-3team into what is expected to be abattle of the ground games againstthe 4-3 Panthers when KingsAcademy travels to Burlingametonight at 7.

Philipopoulos said the key to thegame will be turnovers and

Burlingames ability to limitCarlisle from breaking a big play.

We just cant give up that homerun for 50, 60 yards you seem to seefrom Kings Academy two or threetimes a game, he said.

Carlisle listed at 5-foot-10, 175pounds has already racked up1,298 yards rushing and 14 touch-downs in just seven games and willbe the focal point on every Knightsoffensive snap. It may be the worstkept secret between the two teams.

Our ace in the hole is Amir,because at any time, he can go,Kellner said. But I have a feeling

theyre going to coach them up andhave them ready for us.

Burlingame will counter with itsown imposing ground game in thetriumvirate of Ilan Lesov, JordanPessah and Dan Cuddy, who are

combining for almost 300 yardsrushing per contest.

Kellner said the most importantthing to stopping those three backsisnt anything fancy but has more todo with fundamentals.

One thing we feel like we needto do is tackle with the first guy inposition, he said. If theyre goingto break tackles on us, were goingto be in a tough position.

Whichever team loses Fridaynight could be in an even tougherposition when it comes to thePeninsula Athletic League BayDivision standings. Kings Academysits in a tie for last place at 1-2 withMenlo-Atherton and Aragon, whileBurlingame will be trying to keep

pace with Terra Nova and SacredHeart Prep, which are all currentlyin first place at 2-1.

After two closely contested matches betweenAragon and Carlmonts girls tennis teams thisseason, Thursdays postseason semifinal betweenthe two clubs once again featured a little games-manship.

Reordering her lineup for Thursdays leaguesemifinals to take better advantage of matchups,Carlmont coach Rebecca Pearlman shifted herNo. 3 and No. 4 singles players Dana Lazaroand Christine Tataru to take the court as theScots top doubles pairing.

Meanwhile, Aragon coach Dave Owdomdecided to go old school, saying he preferred tokeep his lineup as it has been all season with theDonstop four players competing as singles play-ers and the clubs standard doubles partnersremaining in place.

The more tactical approach overcame tradition,

as Lazaro and Tataru won the decisive top dou-bles pairing over Aragons Christina Hsu andVictoria Su 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 to give Carlmont a 4-3advantage in seven matches to advance toFridays Peninsula Athletic League Bay Divisionfinals. The lineups and outcome were nearlyidentical to the second meeting between the twoclubs.

The Scots will now play at Menlo-Atherton,which defeated Woodside in Thursdays othersemifinal, at 3:30 p.m. today in a match that willsend the winner into the Central Coast Sectionplayoffs.

Owdom admitted the lineup change was with-in league rules, and Pearlman stressed thatThursdays change was implemented because itgave her club the best chance to extend its season.

ALAMEDA Jacoby Ford washappy making the Oakland Raidersroster as a backup kick returner.With injuries sidelining two of theteams top three wide receivers, therookie is being pressed into a start-ing role this week.

Ford, a fourth-round draft pick,

will replace Louis Murphy andmake his first NFL start Sundayagainst the Seattle Seahawks.Murphy has a chest contusion nearhis lung, an injury suffered when hecollided with teammate MarcelReece while both were trying tocatch a pass in last weeks 59-14win over Denver.

Its really no different for me

preparing, Fordsaid Thursday. I just have to goout there andmake someplays when mynumbers called.I know all of (thepositions) reallywell, so Im

pretty much comfortable in everysingle position.

Ford has only two catches thisseason, both coming last weekagainst the Broncos. One went for afirst down, the other set up Reeces1-yard touchdown in the third quar-ter. Ford also ran the ball twice onreverses for 29 yards.

Along with Nick Miller, who also

made his first career receptionagainst Denver, Ford is part ofOaklands young receiving corpsthat is getting more attention thisseason due to the injuries to Murphyand Chaz Schilens.

Schilens was projected to be theRaiders No. 1 receiver this season

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco

Giants outfielder Jose Guillen, left off theteams postseason roster, is linked to a federalinvestigation into shipments of performance-enhancing drugs, The New York Times report-ed on its website Thursday night.

The story, citing several unidentifiedlawyers, said federal authorities told Major

League Baseball they werelooking into shipments ofhuman growth hormone,allegedly sent to Guillenswife in the Bay Area.

That was just before thepostseason began, TheTimes said. Guillen wasleft off the Giants rosterfor all three roundsbecause of a nagging neck

injury, according to manager Bruce Bochy.

A person in Major League Baseball con-firmed the investigation to the AssociatedPress. The person spoke on condition ofanonymity because the probe was ongoing.

The Giants said they had no comment andJay Reisinger, Guillens attorney, declinedcomment in an e-mail. San Francisco washosting the Texas Rangers in Game 2 of theWorld Series on Thursday night.

It was a bit of a surprise when Guillen was-nt included on the roster for San Franciscosfirst playoff series, against Atlanta. And whileother Giants who were left off including$126 million pitcher Barry Zito have beenaround throughout the teams October run,Guillen has been curiously absent.

The 34-year-old Guillen has been tied to
