Less than four months after
announcing a partnership aimed
at elevating an infamous local
surf competition, the evolved
Titans of Mavericks is begin-
ning to unveil momentous
changes.
A notable first two women
could compete
in riding the
p e r i l o u s
giants.
Anew title, a
new commit-
tee of five and
pairing with
the Monterey
Bay Aquarium
to promote
conservation are just a few
changes avid fans will notice in a
2014-15 event. Although the
competition is pending on
volatile weather conditions,
year-round action is guaranteed.
Earlier in the year, organizers
of the locally adored big wave
surf competition teamed up with
Cartel Management, a boutique
management firm based in Los
Angeles and run by Griffi n
Guess.
For me, symbolically speak-
ing, Mavericks is the most chal-
lenging place on Earth for a
human being. Not only do you
have to be strong enough to han-
dle it in the water, you have to
have great mental toughness,
Guess said. You have to be a spe-
cial person. You cant just go
training in the gym for it. For
me, (calling the competition
Titans of Mavericks), its giving
this homage.
The invite-only event gives 24
surfers from all over the world as
little as 48 hours notice to high-
tail it to Half Moon Bay and surf
30- to 50-foot monstrous waves
in the frigid winter water.

Teachers in the San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary School
District will receive a 5 percent
raise on top of the 2 percent
already in place under a a three-
year agreement approved Thursday
night but a representative said
they are already heading back to
the bargaining table.
Were happy with it but were
still going to go back and ask for
more, said Mary Lynagh, presi-
dent of the San Mateo Elementary
Teachers Association.
Lynagh said teachers have been
working without a contract since
last July the reason the
increase is retroactive to July 1,
2013 which means it is about
time to begin negotiating the next
round.
We just wish it had gone
through in a more timely manner,
she said.
The 2 percent component does
not count toward retirement, she
said.
The new contract, which runs
through June 30, 2016, also
includes a new section providing
that teachers may volunteer to
administer medications to students
but are not required. Those who
choose to do so will be trained and
give annual written consent.
The two sides also agreed to a
one-year common calendar for the

A 48-year-old Pacica man who admitted
drugging his girlfriends teen daughter with
sleeping pills hidden in ice cream so he
could rape her was sentenced Friday to 21
years in prison and must register for life as a
sex offender.
Paul David Messersmith agreed to the 21-
year term as part of a plea deal reached in
July that spared him the possibility of life
in prison if convicted by a jury of rape using
an intoxicating substance. Instead, he
pleaded no contest to rape and forcible pen-
etration and admitted administering a con-
trolled substance to the victim.
Police arrested Messersmith after the 18-
year-old girl told her mother, and then
police, that on Dec. 11,
2013, she found a piece
of pill in some ice cream
he gave her after a driv-
ing lesson and was told
the chunk was likely an
additive. The girl said
she grew woozy and laid
on the couch with slurred
speech when
Messersmith pulled off
her pajama bottoms and
touched her. She said after waking up from a
blackout, he carried her to a bedroom and
raped her.
During a police interview the following
day, the girl shared another incident when
she ingested something odd tasting that
Messersmith had given her and blacked out.
The girl said she awoke to nd herself in a
hotel room with him fondling her chest but
did not tell anyone out of concern for her
mothers relationship with him.
The police discovered the drug
Messersmith allegedly used was Zolpidem,
better known as Ambien.
Defense attorney Steve Chase said his
client is a ne person who loves the victim
like a daughter but an implant in his brain
for Parkinsons disease can cause impulse
control issues and hypersexuality.
Its not an excuse. Its an explanation,
Chase said.
Chase, who said his heart goes out to the
victim, called the sentence totally inap-
propriate to the man but a necessary way to
avoid the potential life term.
Messersmith, who has been in custody
without bail, has credit of 336 days against
the prison sentence.
Drugged raping of girlfriends

A San Mateo man facing felony animal
abuse charges pleaded not guilty by rea-
son of insanity Friday to allegations he
reportedly killed his Jack Russell terrier
and burned the body in a barbecue during a
psychotic break.
Ryan Gee, 28, has already pleaded not
guilty to the single felony but added the
secondary plea at a court conference.
Doing so means that if a jury convicts Gee
of the crime a second trial phase will be
held to determine if he should be hospital-
ized or potentially incarcerated.
After Gees arrest in the Jan. 23 inci-
dent, authorities said he
has serious ongoing
mental health problems.
Defense attorney Ross
Green confirmed that is
true but didnt offer more
specifics.
Gee reportedly stran-
gled the dog, Ti psy, at
his parents home where
they moved in 2010.
Gee was very close to the dog but on the
night in question believed Tipsy was a
demon and heard voices telling him to
kill, according to prosecutors. Family
members discovered the dismembered and
burnt remains the following day and con-
tacted police who had Gee hospitalized on
a psychiatric hold.
If convicted and found sane, Gee faces
up to a three-year sentence.
The not guilty by reason of insanity
plea vacated an upcoming jury trial date of
Nov. 10. Instead, doctors evaluating Gee
will return their reports Nov. 17. Those
conclusions will be used during the sanity
phase of trial.
Gee remains out of custody on $50,000
bail.

An additional 7,500 preschool slots are
now available to low-income families in
California thanks to new funds from the
California Department of Education to
expand the early childhood education budget
this year, education department ofcials said
Friday.
The $67 million for the new preschool
slots is part of $264 million in new funding
that will add 11,500 preschool slots overall
and 1,000 slots with priority for infants and
toddlers, according to the California
Department of Education.
These preschools spaces will partially
reinstate cuts that were made during the
recession, when California eliminated

The Satsuki Kai Chorus Group, a group of ladies from all around the Bay Area rehearse for an
upcoming performance at the ninth annual Millbrae Japanese Cultural Festival.
By Kerry Chan
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
In an effort to recognize the growing
diversity in San Mateo County, the Millbrae
City Council formed a committee nine years
ago to establish a Japanese Cultural
Festival now holding its ninth annual event
Oct. 5.
Never in a million years did I expect that
it would grow to be what it is today, said
Kathleen Kimura, founding committee mem-
ber of the Millbrae Japanese Culture
Festival.
The focus of the event is to celebrate and
showcase the history and culture of
Japanese Americans and will feature a chorus
group from Satsuki Kai Inc, a nonprot
organization established over 55 years ago.
Satsuki Kai Inc. was founded by Shizuko
Shibata and Mie Urano, wives of Japanese
businessmen who returned to the United
States after World War II and wanted to keep
their ancestral traditions while learning to
adapt to American language and culture.
Satsuki, which translates to May, the
month that the organization officially
incorporated in 1957, provided a place
where Japanese and American housewives
could exchange ideas and learn about each
others customs and traditions.
Today, Satsuki Kai Inc. continues to pro-
mote cultural events and various club activi-
ties to bridge mutual understanding between
women in the United States and Japan.
Women from the Satsuki Kai Chorus
group will be performing on stage at the
Japanese Cultural Festival along with other
performances by children, Okinawan folk
dancers, Japanese singers and other groups.
The festival will have interactive activi-
ties, such as hands-on crafts for both adults
and kids, karate demonstrations, Japanese
food, beer and sake.
It is small compared to the Cherry
Blossom Festival in San Francisco, but the
support and attendance grows every year,
said Kimura.
Vendor booths are sold out and thousands
of festival goers are expected, said Kimura.
The Ninth Annual Japanese Cultural
Festival will be at the Millbrae Civic Center
Plaza, 1 Library Ave., 10:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. Oct. 5. For more information go to
www.japaneseculturefest-millbrae.org.

WASHINGTON Californias two sen-

doors.
Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein

home without the medical staff considering
Ebola as a possible diagnosis.
In their letter Friday, the Democrats say
the Centers for Disease Control and

Ebola and isolate and treat patients suspect-

hospital groups to make sure the recommen-

PRINCETON, Ind. Boosted by the low-
est jobless rate in six years, President
Barack Obama on Friday heralded
Septembers hiring rate as the longest unin-
terrupted stretch of private sector job
growth in U.S. history and declared that the
United States is surpassing combined job
creation in other advanced economies.
The Labor Departments report Friday that
employers hired 248,000 and that the job-
less rate fell to 5.9 percent came as Obama
was reviving his economic message ahead
of the November midterms, calling atten-
tion to industrial gains that have helped
restore some higher-wage jobs during the
recovery from the Great Recession.
Were on pace for the strongest job
growth since the 1990s, Obama said.
Obama was speaking at a steel manufac-
turing plant in Princeton, Indiana, as part of
a new fall political campaign push to pro-
mote his pocketbook policies and to claim
credit for the upturn in the economy. The
visit coincided with a White House
announcement for a competition to create a
manufacturing innovation institute concen-
trated on photonics, or the use of light in
technology, ranging from lasers to
telecommunications.
With large rolls of sheet steel behind him,
Obama held a campaign-style question and
answer session where he faced pointed ques-
tions about his push to raise the minimum
wage, escalating health care costs and gov-
ernment environmental policies about coal.
Obama defended increases in the minimum
wage, noting that most major companies
pay over the current minimum, said health
care premiums are rising at the slowest rate
in 50 years and said coal is facing tough
competition from other energy sources.
The real war on coal is natural gas, he
said. Because of new technologies, we are
now extracting at a rate that is unbeliev-
able.
As Obama casts economic gains on his
watch, he is walking a ne line between
bullish assurances that the recovery is real
and acknowledgment that millions of
Americans are still jobless or underem-
ployed.
This progress that weve been making,
its been hard. It goes in ts and starts,
Obama conceded. Its not always been per-
fectly smooth or as fast as we want, but it is
real and it is steady and it is happening.
Fridays jobs report exceeded expecta-
tions and also showed that employers added
69,000 more jobs in July and August than
the government had previously estimated.
The number of unemployed fell in
September by 329,000 to 9.3 million.
Most of them found jobs last month. But
nearly 100,000 stopped looking for work,
lowering the percentage of Americans work-
ing or looking for work to 62.7 percent, the
lowest proportion since February 1978.

and manufacturing gains
Judge: California must
weigh water banks impact
SAN FRANCISCO Ajudge has ruled that
state water managers in drought-stricken
California must consider the environmental
impacts of running one of the nation's
largest water banks.
The Department of Water Resources never
looked at the full ecological effects of run-
ning the Kern Water Bank when the state
transferred the bank to private hands in 1997
and must redo its environmental analysis,
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge
Timothy Frawley ruled Thursday.
California is in the midst of a withering
drought, and those who have water stored in
the vast underground bank have been tapping
those supplies since most above-ground
reservoirs are far below their normal levels.
Agroup of environmentalists and farmers
sued the bank and the state near the end of the
last major drought, in 2010, saying that run-
ning the bank was causing lasting damage to
the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and would
spur unsustainable urban growth.
California tries giant
water coolers to save fish
SAN FRANCISCO State and federal
wildlife ofcials are resorting to installing
giant water chillers in some of California's
sh hatcheries, as drought, over-allocation
of water and climate change all combine this
year to make temperatures too warm for some
baby salmon and other sh to survive.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service workers
installed the coolers at the Livingston Stone
National Fish Hatchery at the foot of north-
ern California's Shasta Dam this summer
when water temperatures hit the mid-60s
too tepid for the half-million winter-run
baby salmon growing there, said Scott
Hamelberg, a federal hatchery manager.
The winter-run salmon are endangered, and
the coolers lower the water temperature to a
more livable 60 degrees, he said.

WORLD 8

LONDON In a medical first, a
woman in Sweden has given birth after
receiving a womb transplant, the doc-
tor who performed the pioneering pro-
cedure said Friday.
The 36-year-old mother received a
uterus from a close family friend last
year. Her baby boy was born premature-
ly but healthy last month, and mother
and child are now at home and doing
well. The identities of the woman and
her husband were not disclosed.
The baby is fantastic, said Dr. Mats
Brannstrom, a professor of obstetrics
and gynecology at the University of
Gothenburg and Stockholm IVF who
led the research and delivered the baby
with the help of his wife, a midwife.
But it is even better to see the joy in
the parents and how happy he made
them.
Brannstrom said it was still sinking
in that we have actually done it.
The feat opens up a new but still
experimental alternative for some of
the thousands of women each year who
are unable to have children because they
lost a uterus to cancer or were born with-
out one. Before this case proved the
concept can work, some experts had
questioned whether a transplanted
womb would be able to nourish a fetus.
Others have questioned whether such
an extreme step expensive and
fraught with medical risks would
even be a realistic option for many
women.
Dr. Glenn Schattman, past president
of the Society for Assisted
Reproductive Technologies and a
Cornell University fertility specialist,
said womb transplants are likely to
remain very uncommon.
This would not be done unless there
were no other options, he said. It
requires a very long surgery and not
without risk and complications.
For the proud parents, the years of
research and experimentation were well
worth the wait.
It was a pretty tough journey over
the years, but we now have the most
amazing baby, the father said in a tele-
phone interview. He is very, very cute,
and he doesnt even scream, he just mur-
murs.
He said he and his wife, both compet-
itive athletes, were convinced the pro-
cedure would work, despite its experi-
mental nature.
Brannstrom and colleagues trans-
planted wombs into nine women over
the last two years as part of a study, but
complications forced removal of two of
the organs.
Earlier this year, Brannstrom began
transferring embryos into the seven
other women. He said there are two
other pregnancies at least 25 weeks
along.
Before these cases, there had been
two attempts to transplant a womb
in Saudi Arabia and Turkey but no
live births resulted. Doctors in Britain,
France, Japan, Turkey and elsewhere are
planning to try similar operations, but
using wombs from women who have
just died instead of from live donors.
The Swedish woman had healthy
ovaries, but she was born without a
uterus a syndrome seen in one girl in
4,500. She received a uterus from a 61-
year-old family friend who had gone
through menopause after giving birth
to two children.

Heavy fighting hits Syrian border town
BEIRUT Islamic State militants heavily shelled a
Kurdish town on Syrias border with Turkey on Friday as
jihadi ghters prepared an all-out offensive for the strate-
gic site, whose capture would provide a direct link between
areas under their control in Aleppo and their stronghold in
Raqqa to the east.
The ghting came as Turkeys prime minister pledged his
country would do what it could to prevent the fall of
Kobani, although he did not spell out what assistance
Turkey would provide. Turkeys parliament gave the gov-
ernment new powers Thursday to launch military incur-
sions into Syria and Iraq, and to allow foreign forces to use
its territory for possible operations against the Islamic
State group.
Kurdish ofcials and activists said that Islamic State
group ghters had so far not penetrated the frontier town as
ghting raged on the eve of a major Muslim holiday.
It looks like they are going to attack tonight and try to
enter (Kobani) on the day of the feast, said Nasser Haj
Mansour, a defense ofcial in Syrias Kurdish region, refer-
ring to the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha that begins on
Saturday in most Muslim countries.
North Korea No. 2 visits South for rare talks
SEOUL, South Korea North Koreas presumptive No. 2
and other members of Pyongyangs inner circle made a sur-

Games, with the rivals holding their highest level face-to-
face talks in ve years.
After months of tensions, including a steady stream of
insults between the divided neighbors and an unusual num-
ber of North Korean missile and rocket test rings, expec-
tations for any breakthrough werent high, but even the
visit itself was significant, allowing valuable contact
between condants of North Koreas authoritarian leader
and Seouls senior ofcial for North Korean affairs.

What will it take?
Editor,
Thousands of visitors enter the
United States every year on a visa,
and then overstay their visa. The
government has no tracking on
these people. Armed individuals can
climb the fence surrounding the
White House and enter the facility
without being stopped until they
reach the Green Room. Thousands of
people, of all ages and nationalities,
cross the U.S. border undetected.
What will it take for the citizens of
the United States to demand that the
government provide basic and essen-
tial security?
What type of horrific event must it
take for the recommendations of the
9/ 11 Commission to finally be
implemented? Arent there any
politicians left who care? What will
it take?

We need a watchdog
for the housing market
Editor,
This letter is in response to the
letter to the editor, The government
shouldnt meddle with the housing
market in the Oct. 1 edition of the
Daily Journal.
The lack of government oversight
of the housing market and financial
institutions practices are what led to
our current crisis. If our conservative
House would have given proper fund-
ing to the institution established to
protect the citizen from predatory
lenders instead of trying to destroy it
in the name of the free market,
maybe the SEC could have short-cir-
cuited the greedy financial money
barons, and saved a lot of people
from becoming homeless. This
makes these victims prey for the new
predators of the housing market.
Renters are now the prey for the get-
rich-quick capitalists with the means
to buy up empty homes and rent
them back to the very people who
owned them originally. Now they
have to pay more for someone else
to benefit.
Instead of the government turning
its back on these taxpayers, a new
institution should be formed to mon-
itor landlords and make them have to
qualify their reasons for random
increases of rents with no justifica-
tion of improvement or cost of oper-
ations. Rent control is a necessary
evil. We need a watchdog for the
common man.

The Toronto Sun
T
wo recent events illustrated
the enormous misunderstand-
ing many people who think
theyre saving the planet have with
regard to man-made climate change,
aka global warming.
The rst was the one-day U.N. cli-
mate change summit in New York, and
the protest marches leading up to it.
The second was Apples release of
its iPhone 6.
The irony, lost on many who no
doubt lined up to buy the latest
iPhone before rushing out to join the
protests (leaving a tsunami of litter in
their wake) was this.
If, according to their own logic,
they want to save the planet, they
have to stop buying the latest version
of the latest cellphone, when the one
they have is still perfectly usable.
Same goes for the latest laptops,
atscreen TVs, cars, indeed all con-
sumer goods.
Because if the theory of man-made
global warming is correct, in order to
save the planet, we have to stop con-
suming it.
Most of the worlds rare earth met-
als are mined in China, under atro-
cious conditions which cause wide-
spread damage to the environment and
human health.
Thats why uber-rich Hollywood
celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio
the U.N.s recently-appointed mes-
senger of peace for climate change,
who gave a keynote address at the
U.N. climate summit in New York
cannot be taken seriously in what
they preach. Why not?
Because they consume far too much,
y far too much.
Because they have too many man-
sions and luxury condos.
Because they work for an industry
dedicated to conspicuous consump-
tion, from the designer gowns and
jewelry they constantly promote on
the red carpets of the world, to the
countless product placements in end-
less movies encouraging us to buy,
buy, buy. If the theory of man-made
global warming is correct, then the
only way to slow it is to consume
less, which many of the people
telling us to consume less are not pre-
pared to do themselves.
And that, is the very denition of
hypocrisy.

Conflicting ideologies
that drive our country
By Jonathan Madison
C
apitalism and democracy are ideologies that play
key roles in the success and sustainability of our
country. Capitalism is the economic engine driv-
ing our country, while democracy is a form of governance
that secures each persons equal right and freedom to partic-
ipate in the decisions that determine the fate of our country.
In spite of the inuence these ideologies have on the suc-
cess of our nation, they each have a separate and distinct
goal and tend to conict with each other every so often.
Polls suggest that Americans believe
the country is now divided more than
ever with regard to ideology, differing
beliefs on how to solve the major issues
facing our nation, and of course, the
classic issue of income inequality,
according to a Washington Post article.
The question has plagued humanity for
centuries how do we address the gap
in wealth called income inequality?
Growing up, my family did not have the wealthiest
means. In my childhood, I recall learning about the wealth-
iest individuals of our time, such as Warren Buffet and Bill
Gates. I admired these individuals, but would often question
why they had wealth beyond means when my family could
only afford to live paycheck to paycheck.
My epiphany did not come until years later when I had a
revelation that, if they could achieve success, so too could
I. I often questioned whether there was really a so-called
system in place that prevented me from achieving suc-
cess, or whether my success ultimately boiled down to my
courage to achieve wealth and success what some would
call nearly impossible odds. I also questioned whether
wealth really amounted to more than money and the materi-
al effects society has placed on a pedestal.
I came to this logic. Wealth and success are both relative
to each individuals idea of personal achievement. We cant
ignore the fact that some people are born into very poor
economic conditions, while others have a red carpet path to
prosperity. What about the people who are exceptions to
both categories? What about the people who come from a
poor economic background, yet nd a way to succeed
against the social and economic odds? In truth, virtually
nothing makes these people different from you and me.
However, one factor appears to separate these individuals
from others courage.
Many would argue that courage alone is not enough to lift
one out of poverty. Oftentimes, this is unfortunately true. I
do suggest that this country has created a form of gover-
nance and economy that provides conditions that allow
people at the lower end of the economic spectrum and mid-
dle class to climb the socioeconomic ladder of success to
prosperity. Of course, its not easy. Nor do I suggest that
everyone has the economic means to feasibly achieve this.
I do, however, suggest that an economy driven by capital-
ism in a democracy creates an engine for economic prosper-
ity, if one claims the opportunity it provides.
Many choose to blame capitalism for economic dispari-
t y, but cherish the rights granted to us in our democratic
form of governance. When examined closely, one can see
the fundamental reason for the tug of war between the two
conicting ideologies. Democracy competes for equal par-
ticipation, while capitalism competes for a hierarchy,
which some call inequality. I do not suggest that this is the
perfect form of governance, but that these competing ide-
ologies create a friction like no other and, in the process,
sustain a form of government that allows people to achieve
success at all levels of the socioeconomic spectrum. This
includes people who are just like me.
When faced with the issue of income disparity for
Americans at the lower end of the economic spectrum,
politicians often throw money at the problem and call it a
day. Yet history has shown time and time again that money
alone does little more than kick the can down the road.
What we really need are policy solutions that create oppor-
tunities for people to eventually succeed independent of the
federal government, coupled with providing the training,
skills and resources necessary for them to climb out of
poverty.
Simply raising taxes does not achieve that goal. Fiscal
insolvency in a country buried in over $17 trillion in debt
does not solve the problem either. Asmaller, smarter, s-
cally solvent and more efcient government that puts the
American citizen rst is what this country deserves.

NEW YORK Investors think the
U.S. economy is at a perfect tempera-
ture for stocks: not too hot, not too
cold.
The latest evidence came Friday in a
jobs report that showed a pickup in
hiring last month that could mean
more people with paychecks, more
spending and higher corporate prot s.
But the report also showed that wages
were stagnant, which cheered
investors worried anything pushing up
inflation could prompt the Federal
Reserve to raise interest rates soon and
kill the rally.
All major stock indexes rose
sharply. The Dow Jones industrial
average closed 208 points higher. The
rally started from the open and swept
up nearly every kind of stock, small
and large, and in almost every indus-
try. All 10 sectors in the Standard and
Poors 500 index rose.
The solid payroll report is great for
economic growth and stock prices,
said Anastasia Amoroso, global mar-
ket strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
The good news pushed up the value
of the dollar against other major cur-
rencies to the highest level in more
than four years. U.S. bonds and gold
fell as investors ed traditional safe
haven assets.
U.S. employers added 248,000 jobs
in September, beating market expecta-
tions of a 215,000, the Labor
Department reported. The hiring
helped drive down the unemployment
rate to 5.9 percent, the lowest since
July 2008. Hiring in July and August
was also stronger than initially esti-
mated.
Still, average hourly wages fell a
penny last month, the Labor
Department reported. Wages are now
up just 2 percent in the past year.
Wage ination essentially came in
zero, and that tells you that the Fed
wont be in any rush to raise interest
rates, said James Abate, managing
director of Centre Asset Management.
The Dow rose 208.64, or 1.2 per-
cent, to 17,009.69. It was the third
200-point move in a little over a week
as markets turn more volatile.
The S&P 500 index climbed 21.73
points, or 1.1 percent, to 1,967.90.
The Nasdaq composite rose 45.43
points, or 1 percent, to 4,475.62.
Earlier in the week, investors were
rattled by a sharp drop in small-com-
pany stocks, pro-democracy protests
in Hong Kong, and falling oil prices
that hurt energy companies, big com-
ponents in stock indexes.
Even with the gains on Friday, all
three indexes ended more than half a
percent lower for the week, adding to
losses last week.
Many economists predict the Fed
will wait until mid-2015 to start rais-
ing rates, then proceed with further
hikes slowly. The central banks low-
rate polices have helped keep borrow-
ing rates low for consumers and busi-
nesses.
The good news in the U.S. contrasts
with troubling signs in other coun-
tries. The Chinese economy is slow-
ing, and the 18-country eurozone is
teetering on another recession. On
Thursday, the European Central Bank
disappointed investors by not
announcing details of more stimulus
measures. All major European indexes
ended the week sharply lower.
The prospect of a two-speed global
economy drove up the value of the U.S.
dollar on Friday. The U.S. Dollar
Index, which measures the dollar
against six other major currencies,
surged 1.3 percent. The euro fell 1.2
percent to $1.2515 while the dollar
gained 1.2 percent to 109.76 yen.
Investors will get a better sense of
how much the improving economy is
helping company prots next week
when aluminum maker Alcoa kicks off
the unofcial start to corporate earn-
ings season. Financial analysts expect
earnings per share for the S&P 500 to
rise 6.8 percent from a year earlier,
then surge 12 percent the next quarter
and for all of next year, according to
S&P Capital IQ, a research rm.

WASHINGTON A surge in hiring last
month helped drive the nations unemploy-
ment rate down to a six-year low of 5.9 per-
cent within striking distance of what
economists consider a healthy level.
The encouraging numbers contained in
the last government report on unemploy-
ment before the midterm elections
pushed the Dow Jones average up 209
points to 17,010 and could give an impor-
tant boost at the polls to Democrats and to
incumbents in general.
U.S. employers added a robust 248,000
jobs in September and generated 69,000
more jobs in July and August than previ-
ously reported, the government said Friday.
That helped bring unemployment down
from 6.1 percent in August.
The jobless rate now stands at the lowest
level since July 2008, in the middle of the
Great Recession, and is getting close to the
roughly 5.5 percent that the Federal
Reserve considers consistent with a
healthy economy.
In a speech in Princeton, Indiana,
President Barack Obama exulted over the
numbers, noting that businesses have
added jobs for 55 months in a row, the
longest such stretch on record.
He credited the drive and determina-
t i on of t he Ameri can peopl e, and
added: Its also got a little bit to do
with some decisions we made pretty
early on in my administration.
Nevertheless, other gauges of the job
market still bear scars from the recession.
Wages arent rising. And the number of
people out of a job for more than six
months or stuck in part-time jobs when
they want full-time ones remains elevated.
An Associated Press-GfK poll found that
the economy is the top issue in voters
minds as the Nov. 4 elections near, and
while most signs point toward improve-
ment, 62 percent of likely voters still con-
sider the economy poor, little changed
from two years earlier.
Given the latest conditions, the Fed may
not move up its timetable for raising inter-
est rates to control ination, economists
say. Most expect the Fed wont act until the
middle of next year.
Fridays data are generally consistent
with the Feds economic forecasts and
therefore should not change their think-
ing, Doug Handler, an economist at IHS
Global Insight, said in a note to clients.
The Fed has kept its benchmark interest
rate near zero for almost six years in an
effort to encourage more borrowing, spend-
ing and growth.
When the Fed begins raising the rate, the
effects will ripple throughout the economy
and could have a profound impact on busi-
nesses and consumers. Rates for mort-
gages, auto loans and credit cards will prob-
ably rise. Businesses may cut back on bor-
rowing. And stock markets frequently drop
when rates rise.
Lower unemployment usually forces up
wages as employers bid for a dwindling
supply of job-hunters. Higher paychecks
can also push up prices. Some Fed policy-
makers have already warned that unemploy-
ment is low enough to spur higher ina-
tion.
But Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said the
unemployment rate may exaggerate the
strength of the job market.
For example, there were 7.1 million peo-
ple working part-time jobs last month
even though they want full-time work. That
gure is up from just 4.6 million before the
recession.
Surge of hiring cuts U.S. jobless rate to 5.9 percent
GM issues two more
recalls for SUVs, mini cars
DETROIT General Motors announced
two more recalls Friday, pushing its total
for the year to 71, affecting almost 30 mil-
lion vehicles in North America.
The biggest of the new recalls covers just
over 430,000 Cadillac SRX and Saab 9-4X
SUVs, mainly in North America. The com-
pany says some rear suspension nuts may
not have been tightened properly. That
could cause the toe link adjuster to separate
from the suspension, possibly causing a
crash.
Another covers the Chevrolet Spark mini
car because the hoods can unexpectedly y
open.
GM also conrmed Friday that it has told
dealers to stop selling Chevrolet Colorado
and GMC Canyon midsize pickup trucks
that went on sale about two weeks ago until
an air bag problem is repaired.
The SUV recall covers SRXs from the
2011 through 2015 model years and Saabs
from the 2011 and 2012 model years. GM
says the problem has caused three crashes
and two injuries.
Dealers will inspect the SUVs and install
a new assembly if needed. Unsold SRXs are
being checked to make sure the nuts are
tightened properly.

WASHINGTON Where are the pay rais-
es?
Employers in the United States are hiring
at a brisk pace. Unemployment has sunk to a
nearly healthy rate. Jobs are being lled
across a range of industries.
Yet the September jobs report released
Friday contained a puzzling fact: Paychecks
still arent growing.
Economists regard stagnant wages as a red
ag for the 5-year-old recovery. Robust job
growth has typically fueled rising wages.
And without higher pay, workers have less
money to spend and save and that, in turn,
keeps the economy from strengthening fur-
ther.
Whatever meager pay raises most workers
have received in this recovery have been all
but eaten up by low ination. The average
hourly wage for non-management workers
has remained $20.67 for two months. Its
risen just 2.3 percent year-over-year, just
slightly above ination.
It just might be the pivotal challenge for
families as well as for the economy. The size
of a paycheck shapes budgets for consumers,
whose spending accounts for most of the
U.S. economys activity.
Weak pay gains, along with lower-than-
normal ination, will also inuence when
the Federal Reserve decides to start raising
interest rates. Without more pay raises
spreading across the economy, the Fed has
less pressure to raise a key short-term rate
from its record low near zero.
So why hasnt vigorous hiring led to bet-
ter paydays?
Three factors help explain the unusual
trend:
UNEMPLOYMENT
NEEDS TO GO EVEN LOWER
The last time monthly wage growth out-
paced ination in any meaningful way was
from mid-2006 through 2007, just before
the Great Recession started. The unemploy-
ment rate then ranged between 4.4 percent
and 4.8 percent. If that pattern holds true,
unemployment would have to drop another
full percentage point from its current 5.9
percent before wages break out of their funk.
Economists note that wages are general-
ly a lagging indicator. What they mean
is that pay typically starts rising well
after the job market has shown significant
improvement. As the economy takes off,
employers eventually need more workers
to meet customer demand. Unless those
companies boost pay, they often wont
attract enough qualified candidates for the
jobs they want to fill.
Some economists think we might be close
to that point already but say we might not
know until months after the fact.
We may nd out six months from now
that 6 percent was the trigger point, said
Maury Harris, an economist at the bank
UBS.
YOUNGER WORKERS EARN LESS
As older, higher-paid baby boomers retire,
theyre being replaced by younger workers
who earn less. That demographic shift limits
how much average pay can grow.
Recent college graduates are earning $692
a week, according to a paper issued this year
by the San Francisco Federal Reserve. Thats
just shy of $36,000 a year. Its also slightly
less than the average wage for all non-man-
agement workers most of whom lack a
college degree and the additional earnings
power it carries.
Based on the jobs report, more young
workers are ooding the job market and are
willing to work for less, said Diane Swonk,
chief economist at Mesirow Financial.
Employers can reduce costs by hiring
more 20-somethings who dont have fami-
lies to support. Or, they can dangle the pos-
sibility of replacing their older workers with
younger ones to limit pay hikes for their
existing employees.
Job growth is rising solidly, so why isnt pay?
Business briefs
By Howard Fendrich
WASHINGTON Put Jake Peavy on the
San Francisco Giants, and he suddenly turns
into quite a postseason performer.
Same for a couple of rookies, Hunter
Strickland and Joe Panik.
Seems that October aura manager Bruce
Bochy has cultivated with the Giants rubs
off on anyone joining the club.
The intense Peavy took a no-hitter into
the fth inning, Strickland and the rest of
San Franciscos rested bullpen barely pro-
tected a lead, and the wild-card Giants won
their league-record ninth consecutive post-
season game by beating Stephen Strasburg
and the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Friday
in an NL Division Series opener.
Nobody is scared of the moment, said
Peavy, who won the 2007 NL Cy Young
Award with San Diego and last years World
Series with Boston, but was 0-3 with a 9.27
ERAin ve previous starts beyond the regu-
lar season. We understand that we might
not be, man for man, the favorites.
Perhaps they should be.
Peavy, the 33-year-old right-hander with
the tattoo sleeve on his left arm, nally
earned his rst postseason win, allowing
only two hits in 5 2-3 scoreless innings,
and getting plenty of help.
Strickland spent much of the season at
High-Aand Double-Ain the minors, and has
all of seven major league innings on his
resume, but struck out Ian Desmond swing-
ing at a 100 mph fastball with the bases
loaded in the sixth after Peavy left, cussing
up a storm.
Panik provided a nice defensive play at
second base to end the seventh and con-
tributed one of San Franciscos three RBI
singles.
No swinging from the heels for this
bunch. No costly misplays in the eld,
either, such as the passed ball by Nationals
catcher Wilson Ramos that led to an
unearned run. That was one of a couple
examples of jumpy play by a Washington
team that won its division and led the NL
with 96 wins but has never won a postsea-
son series.
Under Bochy, the Giants won the World
Giants swat Nats in Game 1 of NLDS

Aragon running back V.A. Wilson scores one of his three touchdowns during the Dons34-14
win over Capuchino Friday in SanMateo.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The day before his teams game against
visiting Capuchino, Aragon football coach
Steve Sell said his team had played mistake-
free rst halves in building big leads over
Lincoln and Scotts Valley over the previous
two weeks.
Friday against the Mustangs, the Dons
were anything but that. Aturnover on their
rst drive and an assortment of rst-quarter
penalties kept the Dons from nding any
kind of rhythm early.
In the second quarter, Aragon overcame
more mistakes to take a two-touchdown lead
at halftime as the Dons went on to post a 34-
14 victory to improve to 5-0 on the season.
Happy to get the win, Sell said.
[Capuchino] gave me concern. You start
doing that football algebra: they beat South
City, which almost beat Burlingame
I was not expecting the (nal) score. The
way the rst half played out, I thought it
might be a one-touchdown, two-touchdown,
at the most, differential.
Capuchino coach Ben White mostly did
what he wanted to do, which was to prevent
Aragon from breaking off the big play.
While the Dons did have a number of 20-
yard gains, the Mustangs prevented any
explosive scoring plays by Aragon.
What Capuchino couldnt stop was the
Dons methodical ground-and-pound run-
ning game or Aragons sophomore running
back V.A. Wilson, who became academical-
ly eligible two weeks ago and made his sea-
son debut during the Dons 41-0 win over
Scotts Valley last week.
Running mostly between the tackles,
Wilson led the Dons with 106 yards rushing
on 26 carries, scoring on runs of 8, 5 and 3
yards.
Aragons very good, White said. I
think they beat us physically. They were
executing and beat us up front. Theyre
offensive line did a great job of blocking.
Capuchino (2-3) showed ashes of execu-
tion on offense, but the Mustangs could not
sustain drives. They picked up an initial rst

SANTACLARA Alex Smith was booed
so many times on his home field at
Candlestick Park, he has no idea how he
might be received by the old fans when he
runs out with the Chiefs to face the 49ers on
Sunday.
The 2005 No. 1 overall pick, Smith has
clearly moved on from his tumultuous tenure
with the Niners. Now comfortable and con-
dent in his new job, hes
fresh off last months
contract extension that
could keep him in Kansas
City through 2018.
You learn how fragile
this thing is, Smith
said. This is a what
have you done for me
lately? business and
youve got to go out
every single week and prove it. Thats the
deal. Ive played long enough to know
that.
He certainly hopes the Chiefs (2-2) can
build off a commanding 41-14 victory
against the Patriots on Monday night that
snapped a four-game losing streak at
Arrowhead Stadium.
Smith hasnt spoken to 49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh in some time and trades text mes-
sages on occasion with Colin Kaepernick,
the man who replaced him under center for
San Francisco in November 2012.
Theres also a bunch of new faces and a
new stadium that Ive never been to, Smith
said. Denitely going against some of
those guys I played with for quite a while is
kind of funny.
Tight end Vernon Davis, among so many
others still around, long supported Smith.
I love Alex, Davis said. We did a lot of
great things together. Im extremely thank-
ful for the time that he was here. But hes
moved on. Hes doing well. Hes playing

Saturdays big football game between
undefeated College of San Mateo and unbeat-
en American River will mark a homecoming
for Bulldogs linebacker Randy Allen.
Aredshirt sophomore out of Sacramentos
Inderkum High School, Allen grew up 15
minutes from the American River campus.
Of the nine Sacramento natives currently on
roster at CSM, he is the only one to attend
Inderkum, a perennial football powerhouse
in the Sac-Joaquin Section, which posted a
23-3 overall record including back-to-
back undefeated seasons in Tri-County
Conference play during Allens two varsi-
ty seasons from 2009-10.
Now the centerpiece of a talented Bulldogs
linebacker corps, Allen is immersed in the
culture of CSM football, which includes the
take-em-one-game-at-a-time-speak that is
standard protocol for most anyone in the
Bulldogs ranks while addressing the media.
I feel like its just another game, Allen
said. Its just another game on the sched-
ule.
It isnt just another game, however; not
for Allen and certainly not for the Bulldogs.
Sure, CSM is off to a 4-0 start this season.
But heading into Week 5, the combined
record of the four opponents the Bulldogs
have faced is 4-11, with just one team,
defending state champion Butte, currently
having a .500 or better record at 2-2.
At 4-0, American River enters into
Saturdays game with an identical undefeated
record to that of CSM. And the Beavers are
coming off a masterpiece of a defensive per-
formance against City College of San
Francisco. Not only did American River
hand the Rams (3-1) their rst loss of the
season, American River, playing on their

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Stanford has a his-
tory of upsetting Notre Dame teams ranked
in the top 10 in South Bend.
Two of Stanfords three victories in 14
tries at Notre Dame Stadium came against
Fighting Irish teams in the top 10.
The first time was in 1990 when the
Cardinal rallied from 24-7 down to win when
Tommy Vardell scored on a 1-yard run with
36 seconds left to give Stanford a 36-31 vic-
tory over the top-ranked Irish.
Stanford did it again two years later when
the 18th-ranked Cardinal beat No. 6 Notre
Dame 33-16 in a victory coach Bill Walsh
called as big a win as I have ever had in my
career.
Theres no chance of that happening when
the ninth-ranked Irish (4-0) and No. 14
Stanford (3-1) play Saturday. Not because
the Cardinal cant win. Theyve beaten the
Irish in four of their ve last meetings. A
Cardinal win just wouldnt be an upset
because they head into the game as 2.5-
point favorites.
Thats despite the Irish having a better
ranking and winning 15 of their last 16
games at Notre Dame Stadium. Coach Brian
Kelly, who is 1-3 against Stanford, is warn-
ing his young team to be ready for a physi-
cal game.
They know the physicality of this game.
Its because of Stanford has done it year in
and year out, he said. We got pushed
around in my rst year here. We have now
battled back, if you will. We still havent
come out on the right side of that battle yet.
The return to Notre Dame Stadium brings
back bad memories for the Cardinal, who
believe they were robbed in a 20-13 over-
time loss two years ago when ofcials ruled
Stepfan Taylor was stopped short of the goal
line on fourth-and-1. Stanford players
believe Taylor scored.
I just remember coming away from that
game knowing there were things we could
have done overall as a whole offense a lot
better, said Kevin Hogan, who took over as
Stanfords starting quarterback two weeks
after that loss.
The Cardinal are struggling on offense,
ranking 77th in scoring at 27.5 points a
game and have been slowed by turnovers,
penalties and missed eld goals.
We just need to keep working on execut-
ing and stop shooting ourselves in the foot,
whether its penalties or turnovers, Hogan
said.
The Irish are focusing on limiting
turnovers after committing ve last week
against Syracuse, with four of those by quar-
terback Everett Golson.
You have to play mistake-free to put
points on the board against a great defense,
Kelly said.
In addition to what Stanford thought was a
bad call by officials on the goal line,
Stanford had a problem two seasons ago
when players said they heard a whistle from
the stands in the fourth quarter, causing them
to stop playing on a third-and-2 from the 3-
yard line that turned into a sack. Stanford
coach David Shaw said he doesnt want the
Cardinal to worry about that on Saturday.
I put that in the category of other things
we cant be concerned with. We just need to
play hard and play the best we can, he said.
Some other things to watch when Stanford
faces Notre Dame on Saturday.
Triple threats
Stanford and Notre Dame use three tail-
backs regularly. Thats not unusual for the
Irish, who have regularly relied on multiple
backs under Kelly and have just one 1,000-
yard rusher since 2007. But it is unusual for
the Cardinal, which has had 1,000-yard rush-
ers for six straight seasons in Toby Gerhart
(2008-09), Taylor (2010-12) and Tyler
Gaffney (2013).
Red zone discrepancy
Notre Dame has scored on 17 of its 18
trips inside the red zone, with 12 touch-
downs and ve eld goals. Stanford is just
12 of 19, with eight touchdowns and four
eld goals.
Limiting big plays
Stanford has allowed only four plays of
more than 20 yards this season, three on
runs. The only pass play of more than 20
yards came in the loss to Southern
California, a 28-yard catch by Nelson
Agholor.
Notre Dame seeks to match Stanfords physical play
BYU retires Jim McMahons No. 9
PROVO, Utah BYU retired Jim
McMahons No. 9 jersey during its game
against Utah State on Friday night, a day after
the former quarterback was inducted into the
schools athletic hall of fame.
The 55-year-old McMahon recently gradu-
ated, a requirement for the number retirement
and hall of fame. He had to complete four
classes, which was not an easy task for the
former NFL star who is dealing with early
onset dementia following multiple concus-
sions.
I actually tried doing it two or three times
over the last 30 years, McMahon said. I just
couldnt get myself to do the homework. And
it gets worse at 55. I told them (Thursday)
night, Ive studied more the last eight months
than the rst ve years I was here. But I got it
done. I had some great teachers helping me
out. I'm glad its over.
Hes the sixth former BYU football player
to have his number retired, following Eldon
Fortie, Marion Probert, Steve Young, Gifford
Nielsen and Ty Detmer.
This is his place, said BYU athletic direc-
tor Tom Holmoe, McMahons former college
teammate. He belongs here. I just told him
that he'll be part of this family forever.
McMahon was enshrined in the College
Football Hall of Fame in 1999. He was quick
to credit his BYU teammates for setting his
football career on the trajectory it took.

SPORTS 13
By Nicholas K. Geranios
SPOKANE, Wash. Expect a whole lot
of offense when Mike Leach pits his Air
Raid offense against Sonny Dykes Bear
Raid on Saturday.
Coming into this weekends game in
Pullman, Leachs Washington State team
has the nations No. 1 passing offense,
while Cals is No. 8. And its not a coinci-
dence.
Dykes was an assistant to Leach at Texas
Tech, where the current Cal coach was
schooled in the Air Raid. But the Cal offense
features more running plays than
Washington State uses.
Quite a bit different, Leach said this
week, referring to the two offenses. They
do some of that double tight stuff that weve
messed with over the years. Theyll do some
quick game, a screen on this side, a quick
game on the other side.
Theyve got really good receivers and a
good quarterback so they do a good job,
Leach said.
Washington State (2-3, 1-1 Pac-12) aver-
ages 480 yards passing per game, while
California (3-1, 1-1) averages 363 yards
through the air. A victory would give the
Golden Bears their rst 4-1 start since the
2008 season.
Washington State quarterback Connor
Halliday has already thrown for 2,318 yards
and 20 touchdowns this season. Hallidays
78 career touchdown passes are the most in
school history.
You just see hes more and more comfort-
able every game he plays in, Dykes said.
Hes taking better care of the football.
Cal quarterback Jared Goff won several
national offensive player of the week hon-
ors for throwing seven touchdowns against
Colorado in a 59-56 win in double overtime
last week. Goff completed 24 of 42 passes
for a season-high 458 yards.
He throws the ball really well, Leach
said. I also think hes a pretty mature guy.
Washington State has played well in three
straight games, beating Portland State and
Utah and losing narrowly to No. 2 Oregon.
Leach said good practices lead to
improvement.
Its always important to steadily
improve your skills, Leach said. You can
constantly be building and improving.
Dykes has been impressed by WSUs
play.
The last two weeks theyve come into
their own, Dykes said. They played well
against Oregon. I know they were disap-
pointed they didnt nd a way to win the
game.
Dykes said Cals offense is still evolving,
and will be tested by WSU.
Were not trying to lead the league in
anything other than winning, he said.
Were certainly far from a nished product
offensively. This will be in a lot of ways the
best defense weve played just because the
front is so good.
Things to know when California plays at
Washington State:
Ground game
Cal is pretty effective on the ground, averag-
ing 172 yards per game behind top rusher
Daniel Lasco. Washington State isnt nearly as
productive, rushing for 52 yards a game, last in
the Pac-12. But the Cougars have piled up some
yardage the past two games behind Jamal
Morrow and Gerard Wicks.
Mike and Sonny
Leach and Dykes coached together at Texas
Tech and Kentucky. I see him a couple times a
year and we always talk, Leach said. Weve
known each other for a long time.
Bombs away
Cal leads the Pac-12 with an average of 17
yards per completion. Six Cal players are aver-
aging 18 yards or more per catch.
Remembering Utah
Washington State fell behind 21-0 early at
Utah last weekend but recovered to win 28-27.
At Utah, we grew up as men, said linebacker
Jeremiah Allison.
Everyone had that look in their eyes and the
determination that we were going to win that
game, added offensive lineman Gunnar Eklund.
Its Air Raid vs. Bear Raid when Cougars host Cal
Cardinals 10, Dodgers 9
LOS ANGELES Matt Carpenter and the
St. Louis Cardinals won a slugfest no one
saw coming.
Carpenter hit a go-ahead, three-run double
off a wilting Clayton Kershaw in an eight-
run seventh inning, and the Cardinals ral-
lied for a 10-9 victory over the Los Angeles
Dodgers in a ery NL Division Series open-
er Friday.
St. Louis overcame a five-run deficit
against Kershaw and held on when Trevor
Rosenthal blew a 100-mph fastball past
Yasiel Puig with a runner on third to end a
back-and-forth game that lasted nearly four
hours.
In a matchup of 20-game winners,
Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright hit Puig
with a pitch leading off the third, triggering
a bench-clearing scrum. There was shoving
and shouting, but no punches were thrown.
Wainwright succumbed rst on the mound,
allowing six runs and 11 hits in 4 2-3
innings. But Kershaw failed once again in
the postseason.
The left-hander whose 1.77 ERA led the
major leagues for the fourth consecutive
year came in eager to erase the memory of
his poor showing in Game 6 of last year's
NLChampionship Series, when the Dodgers
were eliminated by the Cardinals.
Orioles 7, Tigers 6
BALTIMORE The Baltimore Orioles
once again battered Detroit's shaky bullpen
and pushed the Tigers to the brink of playoff
elimination.
Pinch-hitter Delmon Young delivered
another big postseason hit, lining a three-
run double during a four-run rally in the
eighth inning that sent the Orioles over the
Tigers 7-6 Friday for a 2-0 lead in the best-
of-ve AL Division Series.
J.J. Hardy made a nifty slide home, touch-
ing the plate with his hand barely ahead of
the tag, for the go-ahead run. A Camden
Yards crowd that saw the O's fall behind
Justin Verlander 5-2 in the early going
erupted in an orange wave.
Now Baltimore will try for a sweep in
Game 3 Sunday at Detroit, when Miguel
Gonzalez starts against the Tigers' third
straight Cy Young winner in David Price.
A day after the Orioles battered Detroit
relievers while scoring eight runs in the
eighth for a 12-3 win, they came back from
a three-run decit.
Orioles fans cheered when Joba
Chamberlain came in to pitch the eighth
with a 6-3 lead the crowd knew that
Detroit's bullpen was beleaguered.
Chamberlain hit Adam Jones with a pitch
and gave up a single to Nelson Cruz, setting
up Steve Pearce's RBI single.
Joakim Soria entered and walked J.J.
Hardy to load the bases for Young.
Young quickly cleared them with a liner
into the left-eld corner. J.D. Martinez bob-
bled the carom for an instant, and Hardy
never broke stride in scoring.
In the top of the eighth, baserunning also
was a key point. Miguel Cabrera was thrown
out at the plate when he tried to score on
Victor Martinez's RBI double with no outs.
Zach Britton got three straight outs for
the save.
Soria wound up with the loss.
MLB playoff roundup
SPORTS 14
home turf at Beaver Stadium, tabbed a 13-0
shutout the rst time CCSF has been shut
out in 38 years.
Still, CSM enters as the No. 1 ranked team
among California Community College
Athletic Association teams. American River
is ranked No. 3 in the state.
Regardless if theyre No. 3 or No. 33,
were going to go play CSM football,
CSM head coach Bret Pollack said. Were
going to play hard and physical and at the
end of the day, the scoreboard will show
who the better team was.
Hard and physical are hallmarks of
Inderkum defenders. Allen, a 6-2, 195-
pound middle linebacker, ranks second on
the Bulldogs with 18 tackles and tied for
ninth in the state with ve sacks. And his
former teammate with the 2010 Inderkum
Tigers, Derek Bryant, is cut from the same
stone.
Currently a sophomore at American River,
Bryant has led a similar path as his former
Inderkum teammate to emerge as a center-
piece for the Beavers defense. Both were
inactive two years after graduating to the
collegiate ranks. And both have hit their
respective strides in 2014. Bryant currently
ranks third among American River defenders
with 21 tackles.
Hes got good size, American River
head coach Jon Osterhout said of the 6-foot,
200-pound Bryant. Hes got good speed.
Hes got a good football IQ. Hes very
inquisitive. And he wants it.
Bryant and Allen played together at
Inderkum for just one season, as Bryant
transferred from Fairelds Rodriguez High
School as a senior in 2010. The rst impres-
sion Bryant made on Inderkum head coach
Terry Stark was in the 2009 playoffs when
the Tigers defeated Rodriguez 47-7 in the
Sac-Joaquin Section opener.
With a lot of turnover heading into the
2010 season, Bryant and Allen joined the
rst-string squad together. They were two of
Inderkums top tacklers. Allen who
played defensive line ranked second on
the team with 85 tackles. Bryant a middle
linebacker ranked third with 84 tackles.
Bryant and Allen were outstanding,
Stark said. They were probably the two
best defenders on the team.
Regarded as not being the biggest players
in the TCC, defenders like Allen made up for
it in other ways. Hence, Inderkum earned an
M.O. as being a hard-hitting defensive
team.
With [Bryant] as an addition, it took us
up to another level that season, Allen
said. Theyd y around and hit. Thats all I
can say. Everybody loved to hit.
Yet Allen received no recruiting interest
through his senior season. After distribut-
ing his scouting tape to various community
colleges, the only school to contact him
was CSM, he said.
Honestly, out of high school, nobody
recruited me, Allen said. They thought I
was undersized. I was a D-lineman that was
185 (pounds), so no one wanted me except
the College of San Mateo. My dad
thought it was the right place away from all
the distractions of home. Four years later,
this is the nal product.
According to Stark, one of the reasons
Allen was undersized as a senior was because
he was only 16-years-old during his senior
season.
He just needed time to develop, Stark
said. He was tough. He had a motor. But he
was young. He just needed time to keep
growing.
Any recruit from the Sacramento area is a
good get for CSM, as there are two commu-
nity colleges in relatively close proximity
to American River Sacramento City and
Sierra with football programs. And
American River, for one, recruits almost
exclusively from the over 100 schools in
the Sac-Joaquin Section. Only three players
on the Beavers current roster are from out of
the area, all of which are from out of state.
We have a pretty good amount of schools
to draw from and the football that is played
in this area is extremely well coached,
Osterhout said. The proof is in the pudding
if you look at the high school level, how
well the Northern California schools have
done against the Bay Area schools in terms
of going to state. So, we feel like theres
enough talent right here in our own back-
yard.
Inderkum is among the cream of the crop.
Since taking over the program in 2005,
Stark has led the Tigers to nine straight win-
ning seasons. At 4-1 this year, he is well on
his way to a 10th, including on track to win
his 100th game this season. Starks career
record at the helm of Inderkum is currently
95-21.
We get ready-made kids that come from
that program, Osterhout said. Theyre
accustomed to lifting weights. Theyre
accustomed to structure and discipline.
Weve plucked a few kids from there every
year.
Allen ts the prole to a tee. And even
though he didnt garner a lot of recruiting
attention in high school, he said he never
doubted he would continue his playing
career after Inderkum.
There was no doubt in my mind, Allen
said. I knew deep down inside Id be play-
ing for somebody. Someone would give me
a chance.
Allen will continue to relish the chance at
American River Saturday. Kickoff is sched-
uled for 6 p.m. It is the rst of two key
matchups for CSM. The Bulldogs open Bay
6 Conference play the following week,
hosting currently undefeated Santa Rosa (4-
0) Oct. 4 at 1 p.m.

Report: Bironas
blood alcohol content at 0.218
NASHVILLE, Tenn. The toxicology
report shows former Titans kicker Rob Bironas
had a blood alcohol content more than twice
the legal limit for driving in Tennessee when
he died in a one-vehicle crash.
Testing released Friday by the Davidson
County Medical Examiners Ofce shows
Bironas had a blood alcohol level of 0.218
percent. Tennessees limit for driving under the
inuence is 0.08 percent. The toxicology
report also says a low level of Diazepam or
Valium also was detected, but at a level so low
to have a negligible effect according to a
release.
The autopsy report nalized Friday shows
the 36-year-old Bironas died of blunt force trau-
ma after his SUVwent off the road and crashed
into a line of trees Sept. 20, and 911 calls
described Bironas as chasing people and trying
to run them off the road before losing control
of his 2009 Yukon Denali near his home.
Staff from the medical examiners ofce and
Nashville polices trafc unit supervisor
briefed Bironas family on the results late
Friday afternoon. Police said in a statement
after the crash that there was no evidence of
alcohol or drugs at the scene, and the investi-
gation is continuing.

good football at the moment. I
wish him the best.
Coach Andy Reid knows a thing
or two about potential distrac-
tions, having gone back to
Philadelphia to face the Eagles in
his rst season as Chiefs coach
last year. Reid isnt concerned
about Smiths focus when he
makes his rst appearance at the
new Levis Stadium.
Hes been around a while. He
knows that you just got to go
through the process and play a
game, Reid said. The emotions,
all that stuff, doesnt necessarily
help you.
Here are some things to watch
for Sunday:
Stingy San Francisco D
The 49ers (2-2) held down one of
the leagues best offenses, Nick
Foles and the Eagles, without a
touchdown and didnt even allow
Philadelphia past midfield until
late in Sundays 26-21 win. San
Francisco didnt commit a penal-
t y, either.
In his 100th career start, NFC
defensive player of the week
Antoine Bethea made his first
interception since joining San
Francisco to go with a forced fum-
ble and seven tackles in last
weeks win.The biggest chore this
week, aside from rattling Smith,
might be slowing Jamaal Charles
after this three-touchdown per-
formance Monday night. And han-
dling the mixing and matching of
Charles and fellow RB Knile
Davis.
Takeaway Chiefs
It took Kansas City until its
fourth game to force its first
turnover.
The Chiefs got three of them,
and Husain Abdullah returned an
interception 39 yards for a touch-
down.
Gores gains
Frank Gore produced his best
game of the season against the
Eagles with a career-long 55-yard
touchdown reception and 119
yards on the ground for his rst
100-yard rushing game.
Given Gores sporadic use in the
offense so far, its unclear what his
role might be Sunday. He had just
35 carries and 139 yards through
the rst three games.
They know what I can do, Gore
said. Ive just got to continue
playing football and when I get
the opportunity Ive got to try my
best to make plays. Thats all Ive
got to do.

Jerry Jones: Spillman
case differs from others
IRVING, Texas Dallas
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says
the sexual assault investigation
involving C.J. Spillman differs
from other cases that have led to
criticism of the league because the
special teams player hasnt been
arrested or charged.
Jones said on his radio show
Friday that it becomes a different
situation for us if police decide
charges are warranted. Jones
repeated coach Jason Garretts
assertion a day earlier than
Spillman would remain active dur-
ing the investigation.
Police say the alleged assault
occurred early Sept. 20 at the
Gaylord Texan Resort and
Convention Center in Grapevine.
The report was made less than 24
hours after NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell held a news confer-
ence to address the leagues han-
dling of domestic violence issues.

down on the rst drive of the game before
eventually punting. Aragons John
Segovia-Gonzalez picked off a pass on
Capuchinos second drive, punted after
gaining a rst down on its third drive of the
rst half and saw its fourth drive end in the
arms of Aragons Devin Grant, who picked
off a pass at the goal line late in the second
quarter.
Aragon had its problems as well. The
Dons started at their own 33 on their rst
possession of the game and methodically
moved into the red zone at the Capuchino
18-yard line before the Mustangs Fita
Pagaloa fell on an Aragon fumble.
Following Segovia-Gonzalezs intercep-
tion, the Dons virtually willed the ball into
the end zone. Starting at Capuchinos 41,
the Dons needed 14 plays to score, with
Wilson plowing into the end zone from
eight yards out. During the drive, the Dons
endured ve penalties and had trouble with
the center-quarterback exchange as the ball
was on the ground three times on the drive.
What happened was we made a change at
center. Alot of those were unforced errors,
Sell said. We looked like the Keystone
Cops at times out there.
Aragon forced a Mustangs punt on their
next possession and, starting at its own 23,
the Dons drove the length of the eld on
just seven plays. The big play was a 30-yard
completion from quarterback Billy Mason
to Tyee Stockman. The rest of the drive was
all about Wilson, who carried the ball ve
times, gaining 20 yards including the
nal ve as he made his way into the end
zone with 2:50 left to play in the rst half.
Capuchino was poised to cut the Aragon
lead in half as the Mustangs went to a hurry-
up offense on their nal drive of the half,
starting at their own 20 and moving to the
Aragon 16 before Grants interception
killed the drive.
Aragon increased its lead to 21-0 ve
minutes into the third quarter when the Dons
took the second-half kickoff and marched
63 yards on 11 plays. Facing a fourth-and-
goal at the Capuchino 2-yard line, Mason
faked a handoff and bootlegged to his right.
He was met by a pair of Capuchino defenders
at the 1-yard line, but Mason bulled his way
through the tackles and into the end zone.
I love having quarterbacks who can run,
Sell said. It gives you that one extra play-
er [defenses] cant account for.
Mason also showed he can throw the ball
effectively as well. He completed 11 of 19
passes for 179 yards and a touchdown a
25-yard fade to tight end Chris Fiscal.
An interception from Kono Filimoehala-
Egan on Capuchinos rst drive of the sec-
ond half set up the Dons fourth score of the
day, a Wilson 3-yard plunge to put Aragon
up 27-0.
Credit to Capuchino, which did not give
up. An interception by Capuchinos Joseph
Gutierrez gave the Mustangs the ball at the
Aragon 35. Four plays later, David Ortega
went into the end zone from 12 yards out,
breaking several tackles along the way.
Ortega nished with a game-high 108
yards rushing on 17 carries.
Following Masons 25-yard scoring pass
to Fiscal for a 34-7 lead, the Mustangs need-
ed just six plays to cover 73 yards. Ortega
had runs of 24 and 13 yards and quarterback
Tony Pellegrini went the nal 11 yards for
the score, making it 34-14 with just over a
minute left to play.
We did good things at times. We did a
pretty good job, White said. They didnt
give up. I was proud of them for that. At
least were doing positive things.
DONS
Series in 2010 and 2012. They have not lost
a postseason game since trailing 3-1
against St. Louis in the NLCS two years
ago.
When the lights are brightest, the stage
biggest, the stakes highest, San Francisco
comes through.
Weve done it so many times now, it
seems to be part of our DNA, said Hunter
Pence, who stole a base in the fourth and
came home on Brandon Belts hit off
Strasburg. But I think the thing that we
know is: Whats in the past is in the past,
and weve got to move forward and weve
got to be ready for the game tomorrow.
Because if not, theyll jump all over us.
Game 2 is Saturday, with Washingtons
Jordan Zimmermann who threw a no-hit-
ter in the regular-season nale facing Tim
Hudson.
Strasburg took the loss in his playoff
debut; he was shut down in 2012 to protect
his surgically repaired elbow. He showed up
with his best material Friday, reaching 99
mph.
He gave us a chance, manager Matt
Williams said. Jake was a little bit better.
The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2009 last-
ed ve-plus innings, allowing eight hits
all singles, all to center or right eld and
two runs, one earned. He tied for the NL lead
this season with a career-high 242 strike-
outs, but only managed two, in part because
the Giants rarely missed.
Wasnt like they were hitting me all
around the yard, Strasburg said. Hit it
where we werent.
Peavy didnt top 92 mph, but that didnt
matter. He put pitches where he wanted,
often barely over the black edge of the
plate.
He mixed really well. Hes a very smart
pitcher, said catcher Buster Posey, the
2012 NL MVP, who drove in a run. He
knows when not to give in.
The rst hit Peavy allowed was by Bryce
Harper in the fth, a bouncing single off the
glove of diving first baseman Belt. As
Harper ran through the bag, he yelled, Lets
go! But any notion of a rally was quickly
silenced when Peavy got Ramos to ground
into a rst-pitch, 4-6-3 double play, fol-
lowed by Asdrubal Cabreras inning-ending
foul pop.
Peavy was lifted with two runners
aboard in the sixth, and Javier Lopez
loaded the bases with a walk. Bochy
turned to Strickland, who, calm as a 10-
year veteran, took care of Desmond 8
for 12 with a grand slam and 17 RBIs with
the bases full this season on four fast-
balls, the slowest at 98 mph.
He just stepped into as big a re as you
can step into, Pence said about Strickland,
and he came up huge.
But in the seventh, Strickland served up a
pair of 97 mph fastballs that were turned
into homers, one by Harper into the third
deck, the other by Cabrera, making it 3-2.
Bochy knew his relievers were rested after
Madison Bumgarners four-hit shutout in
the wild-card victory at Pittsburgh on
Wednesday a day the Nationals played an
intrasquad scrimmage to ght rust.
Jeremy Affeldt got the last out in the sev-
enth. Sergio Romo struck out Desmond and
got Harper on a grounder to end a threat in
the eighth. And Santiago Casilla pitched a
perfect ninth for the save.
These guys, they have been through it.
They have a calmness about them, Bochy
said about his bunch. When you have your
back as many times against the wall as you
can in the postseason, that experience is
invaluable.
Up next
RHP Hudson is 18-5 with a 2.35 ERA i n
his career against Washington. Only RF
Jayson Werth has a good track record: .386,
four homers, 12 RBIs. Pence is 8 for 20 with
two homers against Zimmermann.

tudies show that the average person
spends two to three years of his or
her life waiting in lines. That is a
signicant amount of time, especially con-
sidering that the average life span of an
American is 79 years. So
what are we waiting for?
I was watching Good
Morning America last
week while waiting for
my sister to nish her
breakfast. The rst story
I tuned into was accompa-
nied by footage of hun-
dreds of people all over
America camped out, sleeping in tents,
lined up like they were waiting for water in
a drought. What, might you ask, were they
waiting for? The newest iPhone. But why, I
wonder, must you be the rst person to own
the iPhone 6? Wont your phone do the
same thing even if its the two-millionth
one to be purchased? I get it we want to
be in those lines because they make us part
of the in-crowd or get us something we
want as a result. Those are the lines bring-
ing us to the things weve read and heard all
about, have anticipated and feel like we
need to have. But the obsession with hav-
ing things rst, seeing things rst and
doing things rst means waiting, and life
is too precious to be spent in line. I know
from my parents that people waiting in
line for things has always been around: in
their day, it was waiting for concert tickets,
waiting to use a public phone (what?),
waiting in gas station lines, waiting for
the bus but their impression was that
people waited for necessities, not luxuries,
for the most part, versus what we see today.
Are we that much more materialistic?
People will wait in line for just about
anything: rides at Disneyland, coffee from
Starbucks, the midnight premiere of a
movie, department stores to open on Black
Friday, anything free from anywhere. Ive
never understood the movie one: Why must
you see the movie on Thursday night, a
What are you

By Jake Coyle
If ever there was a movie that needed a
window to be opened, a blast of fresh air to
be let in, its Jason Reitmans Men,
Women & Children.
The lm, adapted from Chad Kultgens
novel, is about dreary faces in front of digi-
tal screens. Agrim overview of the way the
Internet, smartphones, sexting and all man-
ner of cyber evils are corrupting our waking
hours, Men, Women & Children makes
Frontline look like a laugh riot by com-
parison.
Reitmans suburban tale artfully weaves a
handful of overlapping stories of lonely
teenagers and their lonely parents in small
town Texas, all of whom are unable to sum-
mon a smile in the two hours of this dour,
downbeat melodrama.
Among them: a paranoid mom (Jennifer
Garner) obsessively monitoring her daugh-
ters (Kaitlyn Dever) phone and PC; a sex-
less couple (Adam Sandler, Rosemarie
DeWitt) exploring extramarital partners
online; an anorexic high-school girl (Elena
Kampouris) encouraged not to eat by chat-
room supporters; a single-father (Dean
Norris) watching over his video-game
devoted son (Ansel Elgort); a perpetually
videotaping mother (the always excellent
Judy Greer) trying to help her attractive
daughter (Olivia Crocicchia) become a

Annabelle
is no Chucky
By Frank Scheck
LOS ANGELES Inanimate objects are
deployed to endless would-be scary effect in
Annabelle, and its not just the supremely
creepy doll that is its star. In this prequel to last
years hit The Conjuring one of the most
effective haunted house movies of recent years
cheap jolts are provided by an errant sewing
machine, a record player spinning The
Associations hit Cherish, heavy books, a
malfunctioning elevator and even an unattend-
ed Jiffy Pop popcorn pan. The lmmakers lit-
erally throw in everything but the kitchen sink.
Usually, movie spin-offs attempt to up the
ante witness this summers The Purge:
Anarchy, which considerably ramped up the
scale of its low-budget predecessor. Here,
director John R. Leonetti (Mortal Kombat:
Annihilation) and producers Peter Safran and
James Wan have taken a low-rent approach,
with a cast of unknowns substituting for such
estimable performers as Patrick Wilson, Vera
Farmiga and Lili Taylor. Its as if they thought
the doll alone could carry the movie, but
Annabelle is no Chucky.
Set in the late 1960s, the story concerns
young married couple John (Ward Horton) and
Mia (Annabelle Wallis). Mia is heavily preg-
nant (and is the characters name a sly homage
to the star of Rosemarys Baby?), and her
husband gifts her with the large-sized doll
shes apparently been coveting to complete her
collection. The fact that the horric-looking
thing resembles Bette Davis in What Ever
Happened to Baby Jane? doesnt seems to
concern them in the slightest.
Before Mia gives birth, the kindly elderly
couple next door is murdered by their way-
ward daughter Annabelle and her boyfriend,
members of a Manson Family-type satanic
cult. In the lms best and most truly terrifying

The Lord of the Rings has inspired
hundreds of video games, but theres
never been a great one based directly
on J.R.R. Tolkiens classic. Until
now.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
(Warner Bros., for the Xbox One,
PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation
3, $59.99) is the most satisfying vir-
tual adventure ever set in Tolkiens
world. And one big reason its so suc-
cessful is that it jettisons so much of
what you might expect from a Rings
game.
Its not a Dungeons & Dragons-
style role-playing game. There are no
hobbits. Gandalf, Legolas and Gimli
are nowhere to be seen (although
Gollum plays a key role). Most of the
time, youre dealing with orcs
nasty, smelly, brutish orcs.
Shadow of Mordor takes place in
between the events of The Hobbit
and The Fellowship of the Ring. The

scene, the intruders subsequently
break into John and Mias house, with
the boyfriend shot dead by police and
Annabelle slashing her own throat
while clutching the doll.
The understandably rattled couple
quickly moves into a creepy apart-
ment building in Pasadena, but the
shift in locale doesnt prevent things
from inevitably going bump in the
night. The doll, which John had
dumped in the trash, makes a miracu-
lous reappearance in one of the mov-
ing boxes and assumes a place in the
infants bedroom.
Although we never see the doll
orchestrating any of the mayhem it
remains steadfastly immobile
throughout Mia is soon subject to a
series of increasingly terrifying
events, with even a pair of neighbor-
ing children contributing to the air of
dread via some crudely monstrous
drawings. Looking for answers in a
local bookstore, Mia tells the friendly
proprietress (Alfre Woodward) that I
think were being haunted by a
ghost. Her crisp reply: Aisle four -
follow me.
Eventually they call in the neigh-
borhood priest (Tony Amendola) who,
after delivering a quick primer on the
nature of evil, helpfully takes the doll
off their hands. You can guess how
well that turns out.
Gary Daubermans haphazard screen-
play merely piles on the cheap scares,
with director Leonetti cranking the
volume up to 11 to accentuate the fre-
quent jolts. It all adds up to a com-
pendium of horror-movie clichs,
including eeting images of a demon-
like figure. Despite the gimmicky
nature of the proceedings, theyre
undeniably effective, especially in a
packed theater lled with genre fans
essentially begging to be terried.
But the lm is ultimately so generic
and formulaic that youll probably
forget it by the time you get home.
Equally unmemorable are the bland
performances by the two leads who
never manage to elicit the necessary
sympathy for their characters plight.
The lm is likely to scare up big
bucks at the box-ofce, with its low
budget ensuring protability. So well
no doubt be seeing that creepy doll
again. Heres hoping she gets a more
deserving vehicle.
Annabelle, a Warner Bros.
release, is rated R by the Motion
Picture Association of America for
intense sequences of disturbing vio-
lence and terror. Running time: 98
minutes.

movie star.
A narrator (Emma Thompson)
opens the film with an arch, omnis-
cient tone, looking down from space
at human civilization. Its an anthro-
pological perspective that worked for
The Gods Must Be Crazy, and a bet-
ter, alternative Men, Women &
Children might have chronicled the
farce of our jumbled digital lives.
But Reitman, whose irreverent,
whip-smart knack for personal
foibles worked best in Juno and
Young Adult, has instead made a
resolutely glum movie a Crash
with clicks. He has a gift for finding
empathy in the most unlikely of
characters the professional jerk of
Up in the Air, the runaway convict
of his last film, the disappointing
Labor Day and that generosity
marks each character of Men,
Women & Children with understand-
i ng.
No, the villain here is technology
and its unnatural dominance on mod-
ern life. Reitman deserves credit for
trying to tackle it; how digital tech-
nology has woven itself into our
lives shaping and distorting them
is a subject that any filmmaker,
any artist, ought to be contemplat-
i ng.
And there are many smartly
observed scenes here that capture
familiar glimpses of todays technol-
ogy interactions: a more honest com-
mentary by text message during a
politely superficial conversation;
the typing of a personal Facebook
message and then its quick edit with a
more banal replacement.
Its not an altogether negative por-
trait of the Internet. One girl, for
instance, finds true expression on a
secret Tumblr page. The film ambi-
tious to be sure strives to show
how we are mirrored by the many
screens that people our lives.
The scenes of budding, awkward-at-
first friendship between Elgorts
gamer loner and Devers teenager are
the movies most effecting. But the
plotline, just like the rest of the
movie (written by Reitman and Erin
Cressida Wilson), veers toward the
extreme, hammering home the films
heavy histrionics.
How are the movies to deal with
these virtual worlds that now fill so
much of our lives? Some, like Men,
Women & Children or last years
Fruitvale Station, let text bubbles
pop up on the screen. Others treat
computers like mere apparatus for
drama, no different than the guitars in
a rock band (The Social Network).
Probably the most vibrant thread of
digital-age cinema has, in futuristic
sci-fi tales, uploaded into the strange
new worlds (Avatar, The Matrix,
Her, the recent The Congress).
As a glitch like Men, Women and
Children makes clear, its an ongo-
ing struggle.
Men, Women & Children, a
Paramount Pictures release, is rated R
by the Motion Picture Association of
America strong sexual content,
including graphic dialogue through-
out some involving teens and

minutes. Two stars out of four.

school night, at midnight? Wont it be the same if you see
it the next evening instead?
When I really thought about the statistic I mentioned
above, I started thinking about the things I think are worth
waiting in line for. As I expected, I couldnt come up with a
whole lot, especially now that I knew up to three years of a
precious lifetime is spent waiting.
I think voting is worth waiting in line for. I nd it sur-
prising, as someone who doesnt yet have the privilege to
vote, that it is difcult for cities to get people to wait in
line for the polls, but have no problem getting people to
line up for the opening of a gourmet ice cream sandwich
store. I think supplies from the Red Cross after a natural
disaster is worth waiting in line for. I am fortunate that I
havent had to wait in line for basic survival needs, such as
food, fresh water or shelter. I think an interview or audi-
tion is worth waiting in line for. I think a gift that you
know someone will love is worth waiting in line for. The
rest of the things we wait in line for, although we want
them, we do not need, and dont need to waste our time try-
ing to get rst.
There are important things that are worth waiting in line
for, and those lines shouldnt be confused with the luxu-
ry of waiting in line for days to purchase the latest gadg-
et. We are fortunate to have access to a lot of great things
dont always be in such a rush ... to wait.

killed in the prologue, but his corpse is reanimated by an
angry spirit named Celebrimbor. Hes the elf who forged the
Rings of Power, including the One Ring that made the evil
Sauron such a terror. Celebrimbors goal is to exact
vengeance by using the now immortal ranger to tear apart
Saurons army.
Talion is armed with a sword, dagger and bow and arrow, but
hes too weak initially to take on Saurons vicious Uruk war
chiefs. Instead, he has to battle his way through their hierar-
chy, honing his skills by battling less powerful captains.
Combat in Mordor is mostly face to face, and will feel
familiar to anyone who enjoyed the melees in WBs Batman-
starring Arkham games. Taking out one orc is easy enough,
but the action gets frenetic when 20 or so of the beasts gang
up on you. You can improve your odds before battle by sneak-
ing up on enemies and taking them out quietly, or by shoot-
ing arrows into them from afar. But if you cant get into the
rhythm of attacking, dodging and deecting up-close blows,
you wont last long.
What elevates Mordor above a generic hack-and-slash
adventure is the Nemesis System created by developer
Monolith Productions. The Uruk war chiefs and captains have
personalities: Some are afraid of re, for example, while oth-
ers are impervious to long-distance arrow attacks. They have
memories, too, so if you lose a ght to one it becomes more
powerful and remembers you the next time you show up look-
ing for trouble.
Halfway through the campaign, you gain a game-shifting
power: the ability to brand Uruks so they do your bidding.
It becomes much easier to topple a war chief when you have
four or ve of the big lugs on your side.
The missions are nicely varied: Sometimes you need to be
stealthy, sometimes you need to be aggressive and some-
times you need to be able to tame wild animals. The result is
an addictive mix of strategy and fast-paced action.

NEW YORK In its bid to upend the
movie business the way it has television,
Netix has secured one of the big screens
biggest box-ofce draws and most irrever-
ent comedic talents.
Adam Sandler has signed a four-film deal
with Netflix, the streaming service
announced early Thursday. The actor will
star in and produce each feature, all of
which will premiere exclusively on
Netflix.
When these ne people came to me with
an offer to make four movies for them, I
immediately said yes for one reason and
one reason only: Netix rhymes with wet
chicks, Sandler said in a statement. Let
the streaming begin!
Netix declined to say how much it was
paying Sandler. But the streaming giant has
a history of reaching deep into its pocket to
lure big-name talent. To land House of
Cards, with director David Fincher and star
Kevin Spacey, Netflix reportedly spent
$100 million for the shows rst two sea-
sons.
On Tuesday, Netix signaled its long-
planned entry into original movies,
announcing that it will stream a sequel to
2000s Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon one of the most lucra-
tive foreign language releases ever. The
sequel, produced by the Weinstein Co., will
open in August 2015 simultaneously in
Imax theaters and on Neti x.
Sandler is one of Hollywoods most reli-
able draws, with lms that have collective-
ly grossed more than $2.4 billion domesti-
cally. But his track record has recently been
rocky. His last lm, the romantic comedy
Blended, with Drew Barrymore, sputtered
with a meager haul just $46.3 million for
Warner Bros.
Ted Sarandos, chief content ofcer for
Netix, said Sandlers lms are regularly
among the most-viewed by Netix mem-
bers.
People love Adams lms on Netix and
often watch them again and again,
Sarandos said. His appeal spans across
viewers of all ages. Everybody has a
favorite movie, everyone has a favorite
line, not just in the US but all over the
world.
Sandlers international appeal fits
Netixs global aspirations. The company
has been rapidly expanding overseas, most
recently in Europe, and is now available in
nearly 50 countries.
The four features, which are currently
planned without any theatrical release com-
ponent, are expected to be comedies. Those
are the kind of movies Sandler-starring that
rate highly on Netflix. Among Netflixs
Sandler titles available for streaming are
Happy Gilmore and Click.
The rst movie in the deal, to be jointly
developed between Netflix and Sandlers
Happy Madison Productions, could come as
early as late 2015.
Netixs plans with Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend have
already upset the movie industrys tradi-
tional patterns. The nations three largest
exhibitors AMC, Regal and Cinemark
quickly refused to carry it on their screens.
We will not participate in an experiment
where you can see the same product on
screens varying from three stories tall to 3
inches wide on a smartphone, Regal
spokesman Russ Nunley said.

Review: By Jocelyn Noveck
The movie poster for The Good Lie fea-
tures a smiling Reese Witherspoon, front and
center. But, truth be told, neither
Witherspoon nor her character is the lms
star not in the essential sense. The real
stars are the Sudanese children at the bottom
of the poster, their backs to us, trudging
across an empty, sun-scorched expanse.
The Good Lie tells a fascinating story,
that of the so-called Lost Boys (and girls)
of Sudan, youngsters orphaned by the bitter
war that engulfed their country beginning in
1983, forcing many to trek for hundreds and
hundreds of miles over several years in
some cases to safety. And, admirably, the
lmmakers keep these youngsters and the
young adults they became central in their
storytelling. They may have a Hollywood
star on their hands, but this isnt a
Hollywood star vehicle.
Its probably safe to say that many
Americans know little or nothing about the
humanitarian effort, begun in 2000, to reset-
tle thousands of young refugees from Sudan
in U.S. cities. For that reason alone, this
movie, directed by Philippe Falardeau, is
worth seeing. Luckily, its also a compelling
lm occasionally a bit too earnest, per-
haps, or overly broad in its humor, but often
deeply moving.
The story is ctional, but based on exten-
sive research by screenwriter Margaret
Nagle, who interviewed hundreds of Lost
Boys. The lm begins in a southern Sudan
village, where two brothers, Theo and
Mamere, and their sister, Abital, suddenly
find themselves orphans when attackers
come rampaging through, killing anyone in
sight.
Since their father was the village chief,
that title now falls to Theo, the elder brother.
With a few other youngsters, they start a
treacherous trek out of Sudan. They escape
mass slaughter yet again by crossing a river,
but lose Theo, who saves them by sacricing
his own safety. Eventually the small group
winds up at the Kakuma refugee camp in
Kenya.
Fast forward 13 years. Mamere, Abital and
close friends Jeremiah and Paul have become
a family unit. One day, their names appear on
a list of refugees chosen for resettlement in
America. Joyously, they board the plane.
Upon arrival in New York, the group is
forcibly separated; boys to Kansas City,
Abital to Boston. Despite that painful set-
back, the boys settle into new lives as best
they can. Helping them is Carrie
(Witherspoon), a tough-skinned type who
works for an employment agency. They need
jobs to stay in America and also to pay the
government back for their plane tickets.
As the men adjust, there are a few too many
culture-clash jokes: They arent familiar with
light switches, telephones, jello molds, the
vast variety of types of Cheerios (that ones
funny), ice rinks. But the cast is wonderful.
The Lost Boys are played by actors of
Sudanese descent, and theyre terric, espe-
cially Arnold Oceng as Mamere, who strug-
gles to lead the group with dignity and deter-
mination, even as he chides himself for sur-
viving when Theo did not.
Its fascinating to read the biographies of
this well-chosen cast. Oceng ed the war
zone at 2 years old. Actor-rapper Emmanuel
Jal, who plays his talented but troubled friend
Paul, was a child soldier during the war, and
like many war orphans, doesnt know when
he was born. Ger Duany, who plays religious-
minded Jeremiah, was also a child soldier, and
gained refugee status in the United States at
age 16. The lovely Kouth Wiel, who plays
Abital, was born in a refugee camp.
And about that title: The Good Lie is a
reference to the lies Huck tells in The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn lies that
are good because they protect another per-
son. Its also a reference to this movies
hugely moving ending. We wont give it
away. But bring the Kleenex.
Moving story, simply told, in Good Lie
By Derrik J. Lang
LOS ANGELES Emmanuel Jal couldnt
cry on command.
Despite behind-the-scenes assistance
from some tear-inducing eye drops, the
stoic hip-hop artist, activist and some-
times actor struggled to turn on the water-
works while lming his most emotional
scene in The Good Lie, a ctionalized
account of Sudanese refugees coming to
America.
It did not work, said Jal. I had to look
for tears within and become vulnerable
like a child.
The tears owed naturally for Jal, a for-
mer child soldier, only when he recalled
the times he lost family members during a
bloody civil war in his native Sudan. They
owed, too, when he considered cannibal-
izing his dying friend after escaping from
the rebel South Sudan army. Channeling
his own pain, he found the power to weep
on set.
The Good Lie, originally conceived
more than a decade ago by screenwriter
Margaret Nagle, centers on a group of
Sudanese children trekking 1,000 miles
on foot, evading rebel soldiers, battling
starvation and eventually nding asylum
in the U.S.
Its a real-world tale Jal knows well.
After eeing from rebels, he was smuggled
into Kenya by a British aid worker in the
1990s. He was 11 years old. (Jal served as
the subject of the 2008 documentary War
Child.)
In the Good Lie, he portrays Paul, the
quick-learning member of a surviving trio
of adopted brothers who are relocated to
Kansas City as adults, separated from their
sister, who was dispatched to Boston.
Jal is joined on screen by fellow former
Sudanese refuge Ger Duany and British
actor Arnold Oceng, who plays the groups
de-facto chief tasked with reuniting the
family in America. Reese Witherspoon
stars as a plucky employment agency rep-
resentative who helps the men adjust to
modern life in their new country.
The Good Lie director Philippe
Falardeau and casting director Mindy
Marin originally set out on a six-month
search to recruit actors of Sudanese
descent for the movie, which was filmed
in both South Africa and Atlanta. They
ultimately cast Jal and Duany, as well as
several children of the actual lost boys
and girls of Sudan as younger rendi-
tions of the characters.
Someone said this movie has not been
made for 11 years, but the way I see it is
that this movie has been waiting for us for
11 years, said Jal over lunch with Duany
and Oceng. Its been waiting for the right
people to come together and become a
family. Reese probably would not have
been interested back then. It might have
been somebody else, and it might not
have worked.
While the films poster features
Witherspoons face and name, The Good
Lie focuses wholly on the humanitarian
effort that brought thousands of young
Sudanese refugees to the U.S.
Shes a legend, a mentor, a mother,
said Duany, who plays the optimist
Jeremiah. Shes a powerhouse who really
sold the story. None of us could do that but
her. The cool part of working with her is
that shes so generous, you forget shes
Reese. She just became a close friend. Not
only did she take this role, but she took
the time to go to the refugee camp where
the story came from.
The lm became a learning experience
for both the Oscar-winning star and
Oceng, who has been acting in British
lms and TV shows since he was 6 years
old. Oceng portrays Mamere, the groups
leader, who dreams of going to medical
school to become a doctor but is instead
stuck stacking shelves at a grocery store.
I didnt know anything (about Sudans
civil war), said Oceng, who was raised by
his Ugandan mother in England. I feel
ashamed that I didnt know about it. ... My
father was from South Sudan, but he passed
away when I was very young. I never knew
my Sudanese family, so thats why I feel
ashamed because Im actually half
Sudanese.
The lm, out Friday, comes at a time
when South Sudan has again been wracked
by civil strife and the Good Lie stars are
hopeful their ctionalized characters will
draw international attention to violence
that has killed thousands since December.
Its like pointing a spotlight in a dark
place, said Jal, who also has some of his
music featured in the lm. When you
point a spotlight at a dark place, the evil
will perform less. Thats the power of sto-
rytelling. Yes, the story is a combination
of all the lost boys stories, but I can see
what it will achieve when its projected in
the world. It will be a conscious global
awakening.

impacts like noise and trafc. Last year, the City Council
approved the plan but with height limits and other condi-
tions that developer Legacy Partners then said were eco-
nomically prohibitive. However, the design up for discus-
sion now pretty much complies with the imposed changes.
The proposal is for six three-story residential buildings
and two two-story ofce and retail buildings, a public plaza
between the two commercial buildings and the historic train
depot and a transit center. The complex would include 202
rental units, recreational facilities and 25,8000 square feet
of commercial space.
Fuller said the devil is always in the details but if the
very well put together project proposed Monday stays as
submitted he hopes everybody else likes it, too.
The previous plan downsized by the City Council in
November on a 4-1 vote called for four-story residential
buildings and three-story commercial towers. The council
also capped the units at 233 and agreed to let Legacy
Partners to build 10 percent of units with half each for mod-
erate and low affordability.
The new design also eliminates the underground parking
in favor of 114 individual car garages and 174 surface
spaces. The decrease in commercial square footage means
only one loading space instead of the previous two.

Belmont police investigators are in contact with the
Shasta County Sheriffs Ofce, which has launched a search.
The area is heavily wooded and includes steep terrain and
rough, unimproved roads, according to police.
Merrill had been initially reported missing to Belmont
police Thursday, Sept. 4, when a family member reported
that he had gone on a trip to the Mt. Shasta area and had not
been heard from after checking out of a hotel in McCloud, in
Siskiyou County. After an extensive search effort by
Siskiyou County Sheriff, the investigation shifted to the
Redding area of Shasta County Sept. 16, following reported
sightings in that area, according to police.
While Belmont police remains the lead agency in the
investigation, the focus remains in Shasta County.
Although Merrills car has now been located, Merrill him-
self remains missing. Anyone with information on this
case should call Shasta County Communications at (530)

MERRILL
By Krista Larson
MONROVIA, Liberia The nurse
excitedly grabbed the sheet of paper
with 11-year-old Chanceys lab
results. Its negative, its negative,
she shouted above the sound of her
boots pounding the gravel as she ran
toward the outdoor Ebola ward.
Soon the boy in a neon green T-shirt
came running to the hole in the orange
plastic fencing to greet her. The barri-
er separates health workers from those
sick with one of the worlds deadliest
diseases.
Were so glad hes going to make
it. His little brothers will really need
him now their mother just died last
night, a nurse told me.
Instantly that moment of rare joy
amid Liberias Ebola epidemic turned
to sorrow, and I could no longer make
eye contact with the beaming boy.
Knowing that he did not yet know his
mother was dead and I did was
just too much.
Here in Liberia, more than 2,000
people have lost their lives to a dis-
ease that shows no mercy, and even
the stories of survivors are tainted
with unspeakable loss. Radio talk
shows describe infants trying to
breastfeed off dead mothers, orphans
whose relatives are so afraid of conta-
gion that they refuse to take in bro-
kenhearted children.
For months I had pored over situa-
tion reports from the World Health
Organization and listened to experts
describe the possibility of a disaster
beyond measure as the Ebola epidemic
gathered speed. Nothing prepares you,
though, for the heartbreak and the fear
now ravaging Liberia.
Friends and family had begged me
not to go. Ahousekeeper cried as I left
for the airport and gave me a crucix
that she told me not to take it off even
though I am not a Catholic. Even my
assistant at the plastic baggage wrap
station in the steamy overcrowded air-
port at midnight was sure this was all
just some horrible mix-up. Liberia?
You mean Nigeria? You know people
are dying there!
The dangers of covering this story
were brought home Thursday with
word that Ashoka Mukpo, an
American freelance cameraman who
had just taken a job in Liberia with
NBC, was diagnosed with Ebola and is
scheduled to return to the U.S. for
treatment.
After meeting my colleagues in
Morocco, we embarked on a ight full
of other journalists and aid workers
for Liberia on one of the last commer-
cial airlines still servicing the coun-
try.
We arrived in Monrovia at 3 a.m. in
a thunderstorm, and after a sleepless
ight, we washed our hands in a mix-
ture of bleach and water for the rst
time and had our temperatures taken
before we picked up the soggy luggage
that was not lost by our airline. Rainy
season in sub-Saharan Africa is always
a sweaty endeavor, and it takes every
bit of self-discipline to avoid touch-
ing your face to wipe the sweat from
your brow.
Ebola is spread only through direct
contact with the bodily uids of peo-
ple showing symptoms of the disease.
That said, people have fallen sick
after coming into contact with soiled
linens. Vigorous hand-washing is the
mainstay of Ebola prevention, though
at this point its nearly impossible to
know who is sick with Ebola and who
might just have malaria or the u.
The Ebola patients I saw lined up
outside the clinic my first day of
reporting were not bleeding from
the eyes were told that actually
happens only in a minority of
cases. Instead, we found a very weak
and tired boy, and I winced at the
sight of his mother touching his
sweaty face with her bare hands. It
might only be a matter of time
before she too becomes sick.
Its hard to forget the reason why we
are in Monrovia: When you make a
call with a local phone number a pub-
lic service message reminds you
Ebola is real! before the call goes
through. The wailing of ambulance
sirens is constant, and men can be
seen pushing the sick in wheelbar-
rows when no such emergency vehicle
is available.
Im here as part of a team of AP
reporters including photographers
Jerome Delay and Abbas Dulleh, video
producer Andrew Drake, correspondent
Jonathan Paye-Layleh and television
contributor Wade Williams, who fear-
lessly interviews Ebola victims with
her warm, commanding voice.
Wear long sleeves and dont touch
anyone, she said rmly as I prepared
to get out of her car and visit an Ebola
clinic for the rst time last week. And
leave your bag in the car.
I admit I was initially afraid to come
to Liberia. Unlike the wars and coups I
have covered, you cannot see or avoid
Ebola as you can a ghter. If you are
shot, you know to seek medical atten-
tion immediately. Ebolas incubation
period, by contrast, is up to 21 days.
Every sore throat, every achy muscle
can set off anxiety.
And yet the world needs to know
what is happening here: Ebola is
obliterating entire neighborhoods,
leaving orphaned children with no
one to lean on but a tree.
More and more international jour-
nalists are starting to come. Several
dozen working for outlets ranging
from American newspapers to
European radio are now taking
Liberias story to an ever-widening
audience.
Aid workers in West Africa say they
need more than just gloves and sup-
plies. They need more people willing
to come here despite the personal
risks. The anguish and pain are too
much for Liberia to bear alone.

Making the cut
A preliminary roster currently
names 56 of the worlds bravest
surfers, but will be narrowed down to
38 in the next few days, Guess said.
After that, most will be on pins and
needles waiting as each official invi-
tee will be announced one at a time.
Guess said theyve been working
closely with Facebook and Instagram
so, shortly before the opening cere-
mony Oct. 24, official invitees will
by individually revealed via virtual
baseball type cards released through
social media, Guess said.
Savannah Shaughnessy and Sarah
Gerhardt are making Mavericks hi s-
tory as the first two women to offi-
cially be considered for the contest;
both are rightfully qualified.
Gerhardt is known as the first
woman to surf Mavericks and
Shaughnessy served as a judge for
last seasons competition and has
been venturing Mavericks since she
was 16.
Shaughnessy, a 25-year-old Santa
Cruz County native, was also hon-
ored at the 2012 Mavericks
Invitational closing ceremony for
her rides at the formidable break.
Now in her seventh season dedicated-
ly surfing at Mavericks,
Shaughnessy said her most memo-
rable experience was when she pad-
dled out shortly after the 2010 invita-
tional. It was one of the events
largest surf days during which a rogue
wave wiped out spectators and led to
the beach and bluffs now being closed
off during the competition.
Its always been a hope of mine to
be involved in the event in any way I
can, because Ive always been a big
fan, Shaughnessy said. I was really
excited (when I made this seasons
list.) It just feels good to be included
and be a part of it.
Guess said he too was thrilled to see
Shaughnessy and Gerhardt named and
has envisioned an event that could
one day include women.
While brainstorming how to rein-
vent the Mavericks surf competition
where the athletes reign supreme,
Guess said he started to draw from
Greek mythology, the superheroes
and romance. Guess said he decided
Titans was an honorable and suitable
descriptor for those who surf the win-
ter swells at Mavericks.
And, he noted, several of legendary
Titans were women.
Its kind of cool to have the sis-
ters come in there and be part of it. It
was to my surprise as well, cause Im
never in the room when [the commit-
tee] votes, Guess said. I was
extremely, super, super, pleasantly
surprised and excited to see that Sarah
and Savannah were there, who obvi-
ously deserve to be in that first list.
But, the ultimate cut is in the hands
of the new committee of five, Guess
said.
Changes on the home front
The latest dynamic is a major shift
from a few months back when Jeff
Clark, the first to surf Mavericks and
brainchild behind the original com-
petition, his wife Cassandra, Rocky
Raynor and Brian Overfelt were the
locally-based board of directors
responsible for putting on the event.
Guess said the group will still be
involved, but the selection process
will be peer to peer.
Clark is continuing to shape the
event, now along with surfers Darryl
Flea Virostko, Ion Banner, Matt
Ambrose and Shawn Rhodes. All are
fluent in what it takes to predict con-
test weather and choose competitors,
and none can now compete at
Mavericks, Guess said.
The committee of five is the
organization that we have pretty
much empowered to be the gatekeep-
ers of our future competitors, Guess
said. Theyre there to help advise
our organization when to call the
contest, help with the event, that
gatekeeper, that responsible key
holder.
Another change, about which Guess
remained tight-lipped on a rationale,
was the scheduling period.
Previously, there was about a five-
month window during which the con-
test can be held. Now, its broken up
with a preseason that started
Wednesday and going through Dec.
31, and the contest window running
from Jan. 1 to March 31, Guess said.
And when it comes to year-round
brand activity, Guess said theres still
a lot to unfold.
Paying respect
Mavericks officials announced
Wednesday the Monterey Bay
Aquarium will serve as the competi-
tions conservation partner to raise
awareness about sustainability and
maintaining the contestants battle-
field.
Guess said the partnership could
include having a walk-through
mobile aquarium exhibited at the
Mavericks festival at Pillar Point
Harbor, the Titans brand participat-
ing in World Oceans Day and spon-
soring conservation programs at
local schools.
Prestigious Mavericks athletes,
whether they compete or not, will
serve as eco-stewards through educa-
tional public serve announcements
on TV and radio, Guess said.
I just felt it was really imperative
to have a conservation footprint. ...
Everything we have in California is
because of this ocean and Mavericks
wouldnt exist if we didnt have a
healthy ocean, Guess said. We real-
ly want to empower, and what greater
spokesmen, people, than these folks
who challenge this wave. ... These
athletes arent just surfers, they care
about their environment, they care
about the community. And on that
level, its really exciting.
TITANS
2015-16 year. Lynagh said the mem-
bership is nearly evenly split between
those who prefer a traditional and
those who would like a nontraditional
calendar. Discussions on that point
will begin soon, too, she said.
During the month of March, 17
forums were held on the calendar and
stakeholders were surveyed.
District Trustee Ed Coady said the
agreement represents a very good rela-
tionship on both sides with mutual
trust. More than the terms of the con-
tract, Coady said he most pleaded with
the maturity and professionalism
exhibited by those involved.
The biggest challenge in reaching
the agreement, he said, was reacting to
ongoing state tweaks to pension cal-
culations and components of the Local
Control Funding Formula.
I think our team just pulled a ve-
star performance really because there
was less challenge negotiating with
each other than pivoting every time
the state changed the rules, he said.
Both Coady and Lynagh said the
high cost of living in the area is a fac-
tor in negotiating an agreement.
We obviously have teachers who
cant actually afford to live here
because the wages dont match the cost
of living, Lynagh said.
The new Local Control Funding
Formula should denitely leave the
district extra money to retain teachers,
she said.
The unanimously approved agree-
ment also continues a SMETA/district
subcommittee developing standard-
ized, written reporting procedures
about assaults on teachers by students
or other adults and the support to be
given to school sites regarding
aggressive and violent student behav-
ior. A status report is due back to the
Labor Management Task Force by
March 15.

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2014
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Extra effort will go a long
way. Your charisma and powers of attraction are in a
high cycle, so step into the spotlight where you can be
the center of attention.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If you believe in your
ability, you will accomplish whatever you aim for. If you
have faith in yourself and the courage to advance, you
will reach your goal.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You should
work and play cautiously in order to avoid minor
mishaps and injuries. Dont take shortcuts with safety
equipment or instructions. Stick close to home and
protect your property.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Dont give in to
emotional blackmail. Finish what you start and
ignore anyone who tries to stifle your plans or
progress. Someone wants to step into your shoes,
so keep moving.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Dont lend or borrow
money or possessions. Conduct due diligence to
ensure that you are seeing things as they are, not as
you would like them to be.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Uncertainty will
surround you today. An open and honest discussion
will help you clear the air. Be on the lookout for things
going on behind your back.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Consider purging not
only items you no longer use, but also emotional
baggage that youve been toting around. Dont hang
on to disappointments or beat yourself up over
missed opportunities.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be careful with your
financial information. A scam artist will hound you
if you are too open about yourself and free with
your cash.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have an amazing
ability to persuade others to do things your way. Try not
to embellish your credentials, or you will suffer some
repercussions when you cant honor your promises.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Dont agree to do
something that makes you feel uneasy. Ask your
closest friend or condant to help guide you through
any confusion you face. Do what pleases you most.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Dont alienate those closest
to you by making a fuss when things dont go your
way. Sometimes, the best tactic is to allow everyone to
do his or her own thing.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Changes at home will
present you with challenges. You will face protests and
must get the OK before you follow through with plans
that infringe on someone else.

Video: Islamic State group
beheads British hostage
By Jon Gambrell
and Jill Lawless
CAIRO An Internet video
released Friday purports to show an
Islamic State group ghter behead-
ing British hostage Alan Henning,
the fourth such killing carried out
by the extremist group now target-
ed in U.S.-led airstrikes.
The video mirrored other behead-
ing videos shot by the Islamic
State group, which now holds terri-
tory along the border of Syria and
Iraq, and ended with a militant
threatening a man they identied as
an American named Peter Kassig.
Obama, you have started your
aerial bombardment of Shams
(Syria), which keeps on striking
our people, so it is only right that
we continue to strike the neck of
your people, the masked militant
in the video said.
National Security Council
Spokesperson Caitlin Hayden con-
rmed that Kassig was being held
by Islamic State militants, in a
statement issued Friday evening.
At this point we have no reason
to doubt the authenticity of the
video released earlier today. We
will continue to use every tool at
our disposal -- military, diplomat-
ic, law enforcement and intelli-
gence - to try to bring Peter home
to his family, Hayden said.
The Associated Press could not
immediately verify the videos
authenticity, though it was released
in the same manner as other
Islamic State group videos and the
masked militant sounded similar to
the one who carried out the other
slayings.
In a statement, the British
Foreign Ofce said it was working
to verify the video.
If true, this is a further disgust-
ing murder, the statement read.
We are offering the family every
support possible; they ask to be
left alone at this time.
Britain has been supporting U.S.
military efforts against the Islamic
State group by using British forces
to help with logistics and intelli-
gence gathering, as well as recent-
ly taking part in airstrikes in Iraq.
The Internet video released Friday
begins with a news clip announc-
ing British strikes against the
Islamic State group.
British Prime Minister David
Cameron said Hennings apparent
slaying showed how barbaric and
repulsive these terrorists are.
Alan had gone to Syria to help
get aid to people of all faiths in
their hour of need, Cameron said
in a statement. The fact that he
was taken hostage when trying to
help others and now murdered
demonstrates that there are no lim-
its to the depravity of these ... ter-
rorists.
We will do all we can to hunt
down these murderers and bring
them to justice.

HONG KONG Hong Kong
police said Saturday that they have
arrested 19 people, some of whom
are believed to have organized
crime ties, after mobs tried to
drive pro-democracy protesters
from the streets where they have
held a weeklong, largely peaceful
demonstration.
At least 12 people and six of-
cers were injured during the clash-
es, district commander Kwok Pak-
chung said at a pre-dawn press
brieng. Protest leaders called off
planned talks with the govern-
ment on political reforms after the
battles kicked off Friday after-
noon in gritty, blue-collar Mong
Kok, across Victoria Harbor from
the activists main protest camp.
Police struggled for hours to
control the battles as attackers
pushed, shoved and jeered the pro-
testers. Those arrested face charges
of unlawful assembly, ghting in
public and assault, Kwok said,
adding that eight men are believed
to have backgrounds involving
triads, or organized crime gangs.
The protesters urged residents to
join their cause and demanded that
the police protect their encamp-
ments. The Hong Kong Federation
of Students, one of the groups
leading the demonstrations that
drew tens of thousands of people
earlier this week, said they saw no
choice but to cancel the dialogue.
The government is demanding
the streets be cleared. We call upon
all Hong Kong people to immedi-
ately come to protect our posi-
tions and ght to the end, the
group said in a statement.
They demanded the government
hold someone responsible for the
scufes Friday, the worst distur-
bances since police used tear gas
and pepper spray on protesters
last weekend to try to disperse
them.
