San Bruno wraps up centennial festivities

Gala one of citys final events to commemorate 100 years
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After a year of celebration, San

Bruno will be wrapping up its 100th
birthday year with one of its last
events: a semi-formal gala on
Saturday.
Grown out of the San Francisco
earthquake and fire in 1906, San Bruno
Park Addition was developed into
housing. San Bruno officially became
a municipality in 1914 after several

new neighborhoods sprung up. At the

time, the city had about 1,400 residents, compared to its about 42,000
now. Prior to its establishment as a
city, the ranch land supplied San
Francisco with horses, milk and meat,
according to the San Bruno Centennial
website.
Its
really
special,
said
Councilman Ken Ibarra. Ive lived
almost half my life here and I think its
really special Im a part of it. I hope
everyone else thinks that way too; its
unusual.

At the party that will be held at

Skyline College, Ibarra is excited to
see San Bruno residents he hasnt seen
in a while.
As small of a town as we are, you
still dont see a lot of people, he said.
It will be interesting to celebrate with
them.
One-hundred years is very significant, said Mayor Jim Ruane.
It should be a lot of fun, Ruane
said. Weve tried to plan it so its a

Expanding the arts

San Mateos First Friday offers new venues
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateo is quickly becoming

a First Friday destination with
seven galleries now participating
in the monthly event with an
upcoming holiday twist.
Despite the city not having a
centralized art district, a grassroots effort by local artists and
gallery owners has more than doubled the size of the event in just

five months.
Its pretty cool because its all
growing pretty organically, just
through the local artists and business owners, said Lorna Watt, a
local artist best known for her
yarn-bomb creations downtown.
We really want it to be a resource
for the community.
Everyone is welcomed to the free
events taking place at a variety of
venues.
Food, drink and live music will

be enlivening several studios and

galleries; some will be offering
live artist demonstrations and
there is even a kid-friendly crafting location.
While nearing the holidays,
Watt said this Fridays event
serves as a great opportunity for
attendees to pick up unique gifts
and support local artists.

Fire chief pleads not guilty to grand theft

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Central County fire chief accused,

along with his wife who has fled the country, of an elaborate credit card scheme is
allowed to post $80,000 bail after his sister provided a judge proof the money was
not ill-gotten.
Mark Steven Ladas, 50, was not allowed
to post any bond until after he could show
the funds werent from any alleged criminal
activity. At his first court appearance
Thursday afternoon, Ladas sister submitted
an affidavit substantiating the source.
Ladas also surrendered his passport to the
court and was admonished not to leave the
state without permission.
He pleaded not guilty to six counts of
grand theft and two counts each of tax evasion and filing false tax returns. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 26.
Defense attorney Eric Hove did not return
a call for comment.
Ladas is on paid administrative leave
from the Central County Fire Department
which serves Burlingame and Hillsborough
and contracts with Millbrae and San Bruno

Mark Ladas

for administrative services. He faces up to seven

years in prison if convicted, Chief Deputy
District Attorney Karen
Guidotti said.
His wife, Peta Ladas,
49, faces the same
charges plus several more
but she is currently at
large with an outstanding

arrest warrant.
Prosecutors claim Peta Ladas stole money
using fake credit cards and fake businesses
between January 2011 and June 2013, funneling nearly $35,000 of the illicit funds
into three of her husbands bank accounts.
She was arrested in December 2012 but
Mark Ladas posted her $10,000 bail and
she fled the country. Her charges include on
felony count of failing to appear.
Peta Ladas alleged scheme included her
opening fraudulent credit cards using fake
names and using them for purchases at fake
businesses. Using a point of sale machine,
she reportedly drew money from the businesses and deposited it in Mark Ladas
accounts.

The Hillsborough couple individually filed

taxes in 2011 and 2012
that did not claim the
money, according to
prosecutors.
The year-long investigation into Peta Ladas
was sparked by her leaving a wallet in a
Peta Ladas
Burlingame hotel room
and having a maid return it to police.
Inside, authorities reportedly discovered
her identification along with several credit
cards in false names.
On Wednesday, the fire department
announced Ladas being placed on leave
with Deputy Fire Chief John Kammeyer
stepping in as acting chief. Ladas was
named chief in April 2013. His base salary
is $196,420 annually and he gets an extra
10 percent for serving as chief to Millbrae
and San Bruno, for a total of $216,062.

California court strikes down DNA collection law

By Sudhin Thanwala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A California

appeals court struck down a state law that
requires the collection of DNA from anyone
arrested on suspicion of committing a
felony.
The 1st District Court of Appeal said
Wednesday that the state Constitutions ban
on unreasonable search and seizure prohibited the DNA collection using a cheek swab.
The law was approved by voters in 2004.
We conclude that the DNA Act ... unreasonably intrudes on such arrestees expec-

tation of privacy, Presiding Justice J.

Anthony Kline said in a 3-0 ruling.
There was no immediate order stopping
police in California from continuing to
collect DNA, and the appellate courts ruling could be appealed. Still, the ruling is
important, said Julia Harumi Mass, a senior
staff attorney at the American Civil
Liberties Union of Northern California,
which filed a brief in the case.
Its one of the first opinions to recognize that DNA analysis is fundamentally
different from a fingerprint, Mass said.
Arrestee DNA collection raises serious privacy concerns.

Supporters of the law say law enforcements interest in solving cold cases, identifying crime suspects and even exonerating the wrongly accused outweigh privacy
concerns raised by the forced DNA collections.
The state Attorney Generals office is
reviewing the decision, spokesman David
Beltran said.
The appeals court in Wednesdays ruling
was reviewing an earlier decision it issued
on the law in light of a 2013 U.S. Supreme
Court ruling that upheld a similar Maryland
law. The earlier ruling also found the
California law unconstitutional.

DA: No death penalty in

home invasion murder
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Two men charged with the murder of

their friend during a botched 2013 San
Mateo home invasion robbery will
not face the death penalty, prosecutors
announced Thursday.
Instead, Bunn Vo, 24, of San Jose,
and Edwin Lee, 23, of Daly City, face
life in prison without the possibility
of parole if convicted in the Sept. 4,
2013, robbery that left accomplice
Bryant Ma mortally wounded.
The prosecution announced its decision in court Thursday morning not to
seek death and the pair were ordered
back to court Dec. 18 to set a trial
date.
The decision to take the death penalty off the table was based on the defendants lack of criminal record and the
fact that the victim, Ma, was a participant in the home invasion robbery

Alleged arsonist
charged with felonies
A young man was arrested on four
felonies after causing three separate
fires over the course of a few hours in
South San Francisco last Friday morning.
Juan Jose Tapia Garcia, an 18-yearold South San Francisco resident, was
arrested for three counts of arson and
burglarizing a car around 3 a.m. Nov.
28, said Sgt. Tom Neary.
Garcias crimes, all within walking
distance of his home, occurred on the
600 blocks of Miller and Grand
avenues, Neary said.
Garcia started on Miller Avenue by
lighting on fire a couch sitting on a
residents porch. At another home,
Garcia lit a doormat and umbrella on
fire that caused damage to the door,
Neary said.
Garcia was picked up soon after
while in the midst of burglarizing a car
in an apartment parking lot on Grand
Avenue. Police found a smoldering
newspaper in the parking lot and evidence on Garcia connecting him to the
arsons, Neary said.
Garcia was booked into county jail
and was released Nov. 28 on $100,000
bail.

House rebukes Obama on immigration

By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Emboldened House

Republicans issued a stern but symbolic
rebuke to President Barack Obama over
immigration Thursday, passing a bill
declaring his executive actions to curb
deportations null and void and without
legal effect.
Outraged Democrats, immigrant advocates and the White House said the GOP was
voting to tear families apart and eject parents.
Rather than deport students and separate
families and make it harder for law enforcement to do its job, I just want the Congress
to work with us to pass a commonsense law
to fix that broken immigration system,
Obama said ahead of the vote.
Even supporters acknowledged that the
bill by Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., which says
Obama was acting without any constitutional or statutory basis, was mostly
meant to send a message. It stands no
chance in the Senate, which remains under
Democratic control until January, and faces
the veto threat from Obama.
The real fight may lie ahead as conservatives push to use must-pass spending legislation to block Obama.

Republican no votes. Three Republicans

House OKs military campaign against extremists

By Donna Cassata
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Republican-controlled House approved a $585 billion

defense policy bill that grants President
Barack Obama the authority to expand the
U.S. military campaign against Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria despite misgivings
about a new American combat role after more
than a decade of war.
The vote on Thursday was 300-119, a
reflection of the popularity of the sweeping,
bipartisan measure that authorizes funds for
American troops as well as ships, planes and
other war-fighting equipment built in congressional districts nationwide.
The measure heads to the Senate where pas-

sage is expected next week, although some

GOP senators are angry over the bills unrelated provisions to expand wilderness areas.
The legislation endorses Obamas latest
request to Congress in the 4-month-old war
against extremists who brutally rule large
sections of Iraq and Syria. The bill provides
$5 billion for the stepped-up operation of air
strikes and the dispatch of up to 1,500 more
American troops.
It also reauthorizes the Pentagon plan to
train and equip moderate Syrian rebels battling the forces of President Bashar Assad,
with that mandate expiring Dec. 11. The legislation would extend that authority for two
years.
Still, war-weary lawmakers expressed considerable unease about a slippery slope for
the American military after years of conflicts

in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Were getting more deeply involved in the
war in Iraq and Syria, complained Rep. Jim
McGovern, D-Mass.
The top Democrat on the House Armed
Services Committee, Rep. Adam Smith of
Washington, insisted that U.S. involvement
was limited.
The train and equip mission is just that,
Smith said. I dont want U.S. combat troops
fighting this ground war .... By training and
equipping the Syrians and Iraqis, we can
empower them to fight their
own ground war with our support from the air.
Unity on a new legal justification for U.S. military operations against the extremists
remains elusive in Congress,

Police cases converge

to stir national debate
By Tom Hays and Colleen Long
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK From the White

House to the streets of some of
Americas biggest cities, the New
York chokehold case converged with
the Ferguson shooting and investigations out of South Carolina and
Cleveland to stir a national conversation Thursday about racial justice and
police use of force.
A day after a grand jury cleared a
white New York City officer in the
death of a black man, civil rights leaders pinned their hopes on a promised
federal investigation. Demonstrators
protested for a second night in New
York, carrying replicas of coffins
across the Brooklyn Bridge, and
turned out in such cities as Denver,
Detroit and Minneapolis. And politicians and others talked about the need
for better police training, body cameras and changes in the grand jury
process to restore faith in the legal
system.
A whole generation of officers will
be trained in a new way, New York

his police commissioner outlined pre-

viously announced plans to teach officers how to communicate better with
people on the street.
President Barack Obama weighed in,
saying one of the chief issues at stake
is making sure that people have confidence that police and law enforcement and prosecutors are serving

everybody equally.
Even before the decision in the Eric
Garner case came down, racial tensions were running high because of
last weeks grand jury decision not to
charge a white officer in the shooting
death of black 18-year-old Michael
Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

White ex-cop charged in killing of black man in South Carolina

By Meg Kinnard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORANGEBURG, S.C. A white former police chief here was indicted on

murder charges in the 2011 shooting
death of an unarmed black man after an
argument, a case that instantly drew
comparisons to the Ferguson shooting
and the chokehold death in New York.
The indictment of Richard Combs,
the former chief and sole officer in the
small town of Eutawville, was released
Thursday. He faces 30 years to life in
prison if convicted in the death of
Bernard Bailey.
Combs lawyer accused prosecutors
of taking advantage of national outrage toward police and the justice system to get the indictment.

Hes trying to make it racial

because his timing is perfect, attorney John OLeary said. Hes got all
the national issues going on, so they
want to drag him in and say, look what
a great community we are here, because
were going to put a police officer who
was doing his job in jail for 30 years.
Thats wrong. Thats completely
wrong.
Prosecutor David Pascoe said he had
always planned to seek a murder charge
if a judge threw out the former chiefs
stand your ground self-defense
claim, which happened last month.
Combs, 38, had previously been
charged with misconduct in office for
the shooting. He had faced up to 10
years in prison.
The indictment is one of three this

year for white officers in the shootings of unarmed black men in South
Carolina, which has a dark and painful
past of civil rights violence.
The shooting happened in May
2011. Baileys daughter received a traffic ticket from the chief for a broken
taillight and called her father to the
scene. Bailey and Combs argued, but
eventually went their separate ways.
The police chief got an arrest warrant
for Bailey for obstruction. A few days
later, Bailey went to Town Hall to
argue about his daughters ticket.
When he showed up, the chief tried to
arrest Bailey, a 6-foot-6 former prison
guard.
Prosecutors said Bailey marched
back to his truck, and Combs tried to
get inside to turn off the ignition.

Flu vaccine may be less effective this winter
NEW YORK The flu vaccine may not be very effective
this winter, according to U.S. health officials who worry
this may lead to more serious illnesses and deaths.
Flu season has begun to ramp up, and officials say the
vaccine does not protect well against the dominant strain
seen most commonly so far this year. That strain tends to
cause more deaths and hospitalizations, especially in the
elderly.
Though we cannot predict what will happen the rest of
this flu season, its possible we may have a season thats
more severe than most, said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at a news
conference Thursday.
CDC officials think the vaccine should provide some protection and still are urging people to get vaccinated. But it
probably wont be as good as if the vaccine strain was a
match.
Flu vaccine effectiveness tends to vary from year to year.
Last winter, flu vaccine was 50 to 55 percent effective overall, which experts consider relatively good.
The CDC issued an advisory to doctors about the situation
Wednesday evening.
CDC officials said doctors should be on the look-out for
patients who may be at higher risk for flu complications,
including children younger than 2, adults 65 and older, and
people with asthma, heart disease, weakened immune systems or certain other chronic conditions.
Such patients should be seen promptly, and perhaps treated immediately with antiviral medications, the CDC
advised. If a patient is very sick or at high risk, a doctor
shouldnt wait for a positive flu test result to prescribe the
drugs especially this year, CDC officials said.

Flash flooding strands drivers in California

LOS ANGELES Heavy downpours took a parting shot
Thursday at California, triggering flash floods that temporarily stranded more than three dozen people in their cars
in inland Riverside County as the state took stock of the
effects of days of steady downpours.
The stranded drivers and city employees in San Jacinto
Valley spent the day digging their cars out of mud and cleaning up after the deluge. No one was injured.
The Pacific Coast Highway in Ventura County, closed
since an earlier weekend storm sent mud and rocks into the
roadway, was open again by late afternoon.
The dwindling storm brought some relief to the parched
state, but a new analysis showed how much more rain and
snow is needed to pull it from its historic drought.
More than 99 percent of California remained in moderate
or worse drought despite rains received through the end of
November, national drought experts said.
The data cutoff for the update was Tuesday, meaning most
rain and snow from the latest storm was not included.
However, experts said they dont expect the needle will
move much when the latest precipitation is tallied.
One event isnt going to take away three years of
drought, said climatologist Brian Fuchs of the National
Drought Mitigation Center in Nebraska.
The update shows the Californias drought status was
unchanged from the previous week, meaning 55 percent of
the state still is considered in the most extreme category of
drought while 99.7 percent remains in moderate drought or
worse.

Yemens al-Qaida threatens U.S. hostage in video

By Ahmed Al-Haj and Maggie Michael
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen Al-Qaidas branch in

Yemen threatened an American hostage
who was the target of a rescue attempt by
U.S. special forces last month, warning
Washington in a video released Thursday
not to try again, and giving it three days to
meet unspecified demands.
My life is in danger, Luke Somers says
in the footage, which appeared to mimic
hostage videos released by al-Qaidas rival,
the Islamic State group.
It was the first word from the 33-year-old
photojournalist since he was snatched
from the streets of Sanaa more than a year
ago. He had been working for nearly three
years in the impoverished Arab nation,
living as a normal Yemeni, friends and
colleagues told the Associated Press.
In a video post of their own, Somers
mother and brother said Somers was only
trying to do good things for the Yemeni
population and pleaded with his captors to
spare him. Luke is only a photojournalist
and is not responsible for any actions the
U. S. government has taken, Somers
brother, Jordan, said in the footage posted
on YouTube.
Noting that her son appears healthy in
his captors video, Paula Somers said: We
thank you for that. Please show mercy and
give us an opportunity to see our Luke
again.
In a statement earlier Thursday, Pentagon
press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby
acknowledged for the first time that a raid
last month had sought to rescue Somers but
that he turned out not to be at the site.
White House spokeswoman Bernadette
Meehan also said President Barack Obama
had authorized a rescue operation to free
Somers and other hostages but regrettably, Luke was not present.
In the three-minute video, Somers

appears somber and

gives a brief statement
in English, asking for
help.
Its now been well
over a year since Ive
been
kidnapped
in
Sanaa, Somers says in
the footage posted on
Luke Somers the al-Qaida offshoots
Twitter
account.
Basically, Im looking for any help that
can get me out of this situation. Im certain
that my life is in danger. So as I sit here
now, I ask, if anything can be done, please
let it be done. Thank you very much.
Also speaking in the video, a local alQaida commander, Nasser bin Ali al-Ansi,
denounced American crimes against the
Muslim world,
including
U. S. -led
airstrikes against the Islamic State group
in Iraq and Syria.
He condemned the rescue attempt, calling
it a foolish action and warned against
any more such stupidities. He acknowledged that an elite group of mujahedeen,
or holy warriors, were killed in the operation.
Al-Ansi gave the U.S. three days to meet
al-Qaidas demands or otherwise, the
American hostage held by us will meet his
inevitable fate. He did not elaborate or
explicitly say Somers would be killed.
Al-Ansi did not specify the groups
demands but said Washington is aware of
them.
Kirby did not elaborate on the joint U.SYemeni operation to free Somers, saying
details remained classified. However, officials said at the time the raid targeted a
remote al-Qaida safe haven in a desert
region near the Saudi border. Eight captives including Yemenis, a Saudi and an
Ethiopian were freed. Somers, a Briton
and four others had been moved days earlier.

Philippines bracing for

powerful, erratic typhoon
By Jim Gomez and Oliver Teves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANILA, Philippines A wide swathe

of the Philippines, including the bustling
capital Manila, braced Friday as a dangerously erratic and powerful typhoon
approached from the Pacific, officials said.
Typhoon Hagupit Filipino for
smash strengthened overnight with
its sustained winds intensifying to 215
kilometers (134 miles) per hour with gusts
of 250 kph (155 mph) over the Pacific,
450 kilometers (280 miles) from the countrys eastern coast.
The local weather agency PAGASAs
forecasts show it may hit Eastern Samar
province late Saturday or early Sunday
then barrel inland along the same route
where Typhoon Haiyan leveled villages
and left more than 7,300 dead and missing
in November last year.
But a forecast by the Joint Typhoon

Warning Center in Hawaii said Hagupit

may veer northward after making landfall
and possibly threaten Manila, which has
population of more than 12 million people.
Hagupits erratic behavior prompted the
government to call an emergency meeting
of mayors of metropolitan Manila to warn
them to prepare, although local forecasters
predict the typhoon will slice across the
central Philippines like Haiyan did.
We have alerted the people of Manila
and were ready, Mayor Joseph Estrada
said, while acknowledging these
typhoons change direction all the time.
Central Philippine regions, which were
hammered by Haiyan, were busy evacuating thousands of people to safer areas,
including Tacloban city, where the new
typhoon has triggered panic-buying in
g ro cery s t o res an d g as s t at i o n s an d
brought back nightmares of last years
deadly onslaught.

Pentagon confirms failed

effort to rescue Somers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Pentagon says a

hostage rescue mission last month in Yemen
failed to liberate American Luke Somers
because he was not present at the targeted
location.
The Pentagon press secretary, Rear Adm.
John Kirby, said in a brief written statement
Thursday that the U.S. government was
acknowledging the attempted rescue of the
33-year-old Somers, the only American
among the roughly dozen hostages held by
Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, a Yemenbased al-Qaida offshoot.
Kirby said the Pentagon wanted to pro-

vide accurate information in light of the

fact that the rescue attempt has been widely
reported. Eight hostages were rescued, as
has been reported previously.
A Yemeni official said an American journalist and a Briton were moved before the
raid.
Kirby said details about the mission
remain classified.
White House spokeswoman Bernadette
Meehan said the U.S. is aware of a video
showing Somers. She said President Barack
Obama authorized a rescue operation last
month to free Somers and other hostages but
regrettably, Luke was not present.

Calorie counts on menus have been due for years OPEC and low gas prices
Other voices

The Sacramento Bee

alifornians should cheer the

new federal rules requiring
calorie counts on menus, and
not just because more than 60 percent
of us are overweight.
The regulations posted last week by
the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration nally will make
good on a state mandate that
California passed ve years ago, but
that no one has been enforcing.
Given that the federal requirements
actually were inspired by that pioneering state law, we welcome the
action. Still, consumers here shouldnt have had to wait.
The FDA rules come out of the 2010
Affordable Care Act. They are smart,
sweeping and long overdue.
Beginning next fall, any food vendor with 20 or more outlets fastfood chains, movie theaters, supermarkets and pizza parlors will have
to post calorie information on menus.
They cant just do it in ne print,
either. The postings must be the same
size as the name or price of the item.

Rules apply to alcohol as well as

food.
The information will be a boon to
health-conscious consumers. Huge
restaurant portions and fast food
loaded with fat, salt, sugar and carbohydrates have been obstacles in the
ght to reduce obesity and Type 2 diabetes; Americans consume about a
third of their calories outside the
home.
The calorie counts should not only
help diners make more informed decisions, but also encourage less caloric
menus. Though research has been
mixed, at least one broad study has
shown that consumers do make
healthier choices when they see how
many calories are in their food.
The unfortunate irony is that the
new rules could have been old hat by
now in California, which mandated
calorie counts on chain restaurant
menus in 2009.
In the aftermath of that state law,
some chain restaurants here did, and

still do, include calories on their

menus. But after the Affordable Care
Act passed with menu provisions that
were tougher, in some cases, than
Californias, the state laws author,
then-Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Pacoima,
wrote a new law to reconcile the state
mandate with pending federal regulations.
The x effectively stalled the original law while federal rules were written a process that unfortunately
dragged on for more than three years
while the FDA battled erce opposition from pizza chains and movie theaters. Meanwhile, calorie counts disappeared from many California
menus, or simply failed to materialize.
Its frustrating to imagine how
much could have been learned had
California been a true laboratory for
menu labeling. But food vendors here
should have no excuses now. If this
state isnt among the rst to roll out
the new rules, consumers will deserve
an explanation. Californians have
waited long enough for our information to be served.

Letters to the editor

Bicyclists seek space
in Caltrain changes

Not enough bike

capacity on Caltrain

Editor,
Kudos to Samantha Weigel for illuminating the bicycle commuter bumping problem on Caltrain in the article
Bicyclists seek space in Caltrain
changes: Transit agency to buy used
cars, electrify system in the Dec. 1
edition of the Daily Journal.
However, older Gallery trains able to
host up to 48 bicyclists and the newer
Bombardier trains providing room for
up to 80 is inaccurate. Gallerys host
80 cyclists; Bombardiers host 48.
What is at issue is whether the
Caltrain board will vote to retrot
some of its newly purchased 16
Bombardier cars to add a third bike car
to all Bombardier trains, bringing the
complement to 72 bike spaces and
providing long needed equipment
consistency to overall ridership.
Kudos to Caltrain for considering
bicycle carriage in its electrication
project. That may be a solution ve
to six years down the road, but it does
not address nor relieve todays transportation crisis. Since 2009, 8,502
ticket-holding cyclists have reported
their bumps to Caltrain. By simple
averaging, 144 paid passengers are
left behind on the platform monthly,
while no other ticketed customer is
denied boarding.

Editor,
When Caltrains seats are full, people get to their destinations standing
up. When bike cars are full, cyclists
cant ride. People are red, charged
overtime for day care, miss meetings,
miss dates and otherwise lose time
theyll never get back.
People bring bicycles on-board
Caltrain because their origins or destinations are too far from the stations
to walk. Its doubtful that bicyclists
would use Bikeshare because bicycles
are only free of daily fees if there are
docks at the passengers workplace
and home and the distance can be covered in less than 30 minutes. There
are no docks in my neighborhood,
Bayview, and there never will be.
Bikeshare will never be able to adequately cover the entire bicycle commute-shed of every single Caltrain
station. The last mile problem
remains. I will never leave my bicycle locked to a rack at the station
because it will be used as a urinal and
then stolen. Caltrain will never be
able to supply enough bicycle lockers at its stations to accommodate all
bicyclists. The bicycle locker waiting
list is eternal.
Hopefully, the trains will be
lengthened to accommodate more
bicyclist and pedestrian passengers.

Google needs
to check prospective
employees backgrounds
Editor,
Having read that a Google courier
was charged with alleged theft and
despite a previous record of three
felony convictions, ve misdemeanor
convictions and also his 16 months
in prison for violating probation on
drug and theft charges, why was this
person hired? (Google courier
charged with theft has charges
reduced in the Dec. 2 edition of the
Daily Journal).
Wasnt information on the application checked? And why is everyone
surprised that goods were allegedly
taken from a store earlier this year? It
doesnt appear to me that HR did any
checking in the hiring of this individual. Maybe the HR people need classes in hiring practices by calling and
verifying employment information.
Considering the fact that I had three
references checked when I adopted a
cat, Google Express just let the door
open to anyone that wanted to come
in from the cold.

ne of the more interesting facts that came out

before the recent OPEC meetings is that the
Middle East-based cartel was keeping prices
lower because prices are dropping.
It might seem like a Huh? moment but the rationale
behind it is that increased oil production in the United
States because of shale fracking is creating an increased
supply and, in turn, a reduction in cost.
All eyes (well at least a few eyes) were on the
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries last
week to see if production levels would be lowered to
accommodate requests from some countries suffering
from the lower price. Lower production means higher
prices.
But OPECs decision to keep production at 30 million
barrels a day means that prices will remain low for the
time being. And while that
is good news for those
motorists who are enjoying
prices at the pump and for
businesses like airlines and
parcel services that rely on
fuel, it is not good news for
American companies who
have benefited from new
exploration and extraction
techniques. While many
have cheered the United
States new exploration of
petroleum energy sources
because it diminishes our
reliance on foreign-produced oil from often unstable areas (read: Middle East)
others have been concerned about frackings potential
effect on the environment here.
Another impact of lower oil prices means that further
exploration may be set aside for now and perhaps oil
companies can use the revenue often invested in such
activities into other alternative energy sources.
Still, its a gamble by OPEC in that there is no guarantee that its tactic will work. U.S. companies are
known to be resilient and some say wily when it comes
to finding ways to make a profit in emerging areas of
the economy. Besides, the money has already been
invested into the areas that are producing now so dont
look for a dramatic pullback at least right away. Its
investment into future production that might take a hit.
And that may please environmentalists concerned about
frackings impact. Still, fracking was a fairly innovative process and there may be now more exploration
into making it work even more efficiently.
In the meantime, enjoy those low gas prices that are
both a direct and indirect result of the U.S. production of
oil through hydraulic fracturing.
***
The lowering of gas prices couldnt have come at a
better time than now as the state cap-and-trade rules for
fuel distributors go into effect as part of compliance
with Assembly Bill 32. That legislation is the one
aimed to reduce California emissions to 1990 levels by
2020 an approximate 16 percent reduction. In July,
when gas prices in San Mateo were about $4.24 a gallon, there was some movement toward new legislation
that would delay implementation for fuel distributors
until 2018. That legislation, proposed by Assemblyman
Henry T. Perea, D-Fresno, didnt receive needed support
in the Legislature and would have likely been vetoed by
the governor anyway. However, now that gas prices are
largely under $3 a gallon, it appears that the impact of
anywhere between 10 to 15 cents a gallon for the capand-trade legislation could definitely be absorbed
though people tend to get greedy when it comes to low
gas prices. If its under $3 a gallon, people want it to be
under $2.80. It means more money in the pocket and in
the bank. And thats where people like their money,
rather than at the pump.
The combination of the economic pickup with lower
prices means consumption is on the rise. The state
Board of Equalization reported this week an increase this
year of nearly 1 percent, the first increase in eight fiscal
years. And that consumption means more emissions,
another factor in the state trying to meet its reduction
goals by 2020. How that is addressed, no one can know
right now.

NEW YORK The stock market

posted slight losses Thursday after
European Central Bank officials decided to delay any stimulus for the struggling continent until next year.
Investors also braced for the release of
Fridays closely watched U.S. jobs
report.
Stocks had been solidly lower much
of the day, but did recover some of their
losses after news outlets reported that
the European Central Bank would consider a large stimulus package for next
month.
Earlier comments from ECB President
Mario Draghi were initially interpreted
to mean the bank wouldnt act until next
year, but by late Thursday consensus
was building that stimulus was imminent.
The ECB and Draghi basically said,
we dont know what we are doing yet,
but when we do it next month, its going
to be big, said Ian Winer, head of equity trading at Wedbush Securities.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
12.52 points, or 0.1 percent, to
17,900.10. It was down nearly 100
points earlier in the day.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
2.41 points, or 0.1 percent, to
2,071.92 and the Nasdaq composite fell
5.04 points, or 0.1 percent, to
4,769.44.
Energy stocks were among the hardest

hit. The S&P 500s energy sector lost

nearly 1 percent as the price of oil sank
yet again. Benchmark U.S. crude fell 57
cents to close at $66.81 a barrel on the
New York Mercantile Exchange on news
that Saudi Arabia reduced its January
prices to U.S. and Asian customers.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries,
fell 28 cents to close at $69.64 on the
ICE Futures exchange in London.
Bloomberg News reported that ECB
officials are considering a large bondpurchasing program that will include
European government debt, citing
unnamed central bank figures. The
report followed the ECBs decision
Thursday to keep its main interest rate
unchanged at a record low of 0.05 percent.
Draghi hinted at a news conference
that the bank could act early next year.
He said the ECB will reassess the success of its existing stimulus programs
and the impact of low oil prices on
Europes economy. If needed, the ECB
could do more, he said.
Draghis
comments
and the
Bloomberg News report indicate that
the ECB is getting ready to make its
own large-scale purchases of government bonds. The policy, known as
quantitative easing, or QE, has been
used by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the
Bank of England and the Bank of
Japan.
Europe has been a point of worry for
investors all year. The economic sanc-

tions that Europe imposed on Russia,

one of its biggest trading partners, following Russias annexation of Crimea
has taken a toll on the entire continent. Europe has teetered on the brink
of recession as Germany, Europes
largest economy, has stagnated. If
Europe slipped into recession, it would
be its third recession since 2008.
Jonathan Loynes, chief European
economist at Capital Economics, also
expects a program of government bond
purchases to be launched in January.
But whether it will be big and effective
enough to revive the eurozone economy is another matter, he added.
In the U.S., the main focus will be
the November jobs report, which
comes out Friday. Following some
solid hiring data on Wednesday from
private payrolls firm ADP, economists
expect that employers added 225,000
jobs last month and that the unemployment rate slipped to 5.7 percent from
5.8 percent.
Traders got another piece of jobrelated news Thursday. The number of
people who filed for unemployment
benefits fell by 17,000 to 297,000,
the Labor Department said. A reading
below 300,000 has been a signal that
hiring continues to pick up in the U.S.
At current levels, (the jobless
claims numbers) are consistent with a
very low layoff rate and solid employment growth, Guy Berger and
Michelle Girard, economists at RBS,
wrote in a note to clients.

Beacons pop up in stores ahead of holidays

By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK From American Eagle to

Apple Stores, beacons are popping up
everywhere. Are they a shoppers best
friend or another pesky Big Brother monitoring our every move?
The square or rectangular devices, smaller
than a smartphone, can hang on a wall or
be placed on a machine and communicate
with your phone via Bluetooth signals.
Accessed through apps you download to
your smartphone, beacon technology can
do everything from guide you to the correct
airport terminal to turn on your coffee
maker as you sleepily enter the kitchen. In
retail, beacons aim to entice you to spend
money. As you enter a store, your smartphone might light up with a sale alert.
Stand in the dress section for a while and a
coupon may pop up for something on a
nearby hanger.
The most important thing a shopper
might need to get access to when they go
into a store are ratings and reviews,
coupons and promotions, said Erik
McMillan, CEO of Shelfbucks, which is
working with video game retailer GameStop
and others on its beacon marketing.
Beacons give customers that research right

there in the store when they have their

wallets and are looking to buy.
Macys Inc. has installed beacons in all
of its 840 department stores; other chains
such as Kohls are testing them in some
locations. McMillan likens beacons to the
early days of retail websites in the 1990s
when all of a sudden it got to the point that
you cant not have a website. He predicts
the technology will skyrocket from the
50,000 beacons in use now to between 5
million and 10 million next year.
The vast majority of shopping is still
done in stores. E-commerce is fast-growing
but accounts for only about 9 percent of
total retail sales, according to Forrester
Research. Beacons merge in-store shopping with mobile access to information
and data shows they work.
Between July and September, 30 percent
of shoppers who received a push-ad
from an in-store beacon used that offer to
buy something, according to a survey by
Swirl, a marketing technology company
that has worked with retailers such as Lord
& Taylor, Hudsons Bay, Alex and Ani,
Kenneth Cole and Timberland to deploy
beacons. Sixty percent of shoppers
opened beacon-sent messages, and over
half of those surveyed said they would do
more holiday shopping at the stores as a

result of their beacon experience.

Graham Uffelman, a 45-year-old New
Yorker, said he bought Bluetooth headphones at Best Buy because of a deal he got
via the Shopkick beacon marketing app.
The app knew I was in the store and actually suggested a product I wanted, he said.
The experience was great but also a little
unnerving in the sense that the store knew
who I was and that I was present in their
location. It felt a little Big Brother-like.
And thats the challenge. Not everyone is
thrilled that a beacon app is monitoring
them when they walk around with their cellphone. Outdoor advertising firm Titan drew
such outcry last month when it installed
beacons in phone booths in New York the
city had to take them out.
Eamon Bauman, 24, an IT systems administrator in Wisconsin, said he wouldnt let a
stores app have access to his location even
if it meant coupons or deals.
Its providing retailers too much information about ourselves, he said. If a
retailer really wants to draw me into their
store, showing me deals before I get to the
mall is a better way.
Chloe Joslin, 22, a student in Jonesboro,
Arkansas, was taken aback when she drove
by a Walgreens and a notification on her
phone from the Walgreens app popped up.

Uber raises $1.2 billion, valued at $40 billion

By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Uber raised $1.2 billion in

its latest round of funding from venture capitalists, a sign investors were little fazed by
the ride-hailing apps recent spate of bad
publicity over privacy violations and its
corporate culture.
The latest investment put a value on Uber
at $40 billion.
Thats bigger than the stock market values of companies such as American Airlines
and Twitter, or the combined value of carrental veterans Hertz and Avis Budget
Group. At the same time, it is not a guarantee that Uber would receive the same valuation as a publicly traded company that it

does as a venture-backed business.

San Francisco-based Uber triggered a
wave of online criticism recently after a top
executive suggested spending $1 million to
dig up dirt on a journalist critical of the driver-on-demand company.
It was not the first time Uber has been
called out for actions by its drivers or its
corporate culture. It is investigating one of
its employees for tracking another journalists ride, which has raised fears that Uber is
misusing customers private location information.
In a blog post Thursday, CEO Travis
Kalanick acknowledged the companys
significant growing pains.
The events of the recent weeks have
shown us that we also need to invest in
internal growth and change, he wrote.

Acknowledging mistakes and learning

from them are the first steps.
He said the latest financing round will
help the company make substantial investments, particularly in Asia.
Ubers previous funding round also raised
$1.2 billion. The company operates in
more than 250 cities in 50 countries,
although it faces regulatory hurdles and
pushback from traditional taxis in many
cities.
Also on Thursday, smaller rival Lyft,
which has a decidedly more friendly corporate image complete with pink moustaches on its cars announced that it has hired
a chief financial officer, Brian Roberts, and
a chief marketing officer, Kira Wampler.
Roberts, who joined the company in
October, was previously at Walmart.

The app never asked for permission to

use location services and to my knowledge I
had disabled them from almost every app to
avoid such a situation, she said.
Because location settings can be different
for individual apps, though, it can sometimes be difficult to disable all services. The
pop-up likely resulted from the phones
location setting for nearby store notifications, said Walgreen Co. spokesman Phil
Caruso in an email. He said customers can
turn off notifications if they prefer not to
receive them. Currently, the drugstore
retailer is using beacon technology on a
pilot basis in only a very small number of
its Duane Reade stores.
Transparency is key, says Rob Murphy,
Swirls vice president of marketing.
Now its pretty standard if anybody is
doing this type of marketing to specifically
ask for permission, he said. You have to
request an opt-in for location services and
in-store push notifications.
You cant be interruptive or intrusive,
you have to be positive and helpful, said
Alexis Rask, chief revenue officer of
Shopkick, whose app is also used by teen
retailer American Eagle to provide welcome
messages, merchandise tips and styling
guidance throughout its nearly 1,000 U.S.
stores.

Business brief
Apple says plaintiffs
iPods not covered by suit
SAN FRANCISCO For want of an iPod,
a billion-dollar lawsuit may be in jeopardy.
Apple attorneys are raising a last-minute
challenge to a class-action lawsuit over the
companys use of restrictive software that
kept iPods from playing music sold by competitors. Apple says new evidence shows the
two women named as plaintiffs in the case
may not have purchased iPod models covered
by the lawsuit. Opposing lawyers disagree.
U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez
Rogers said she isnt ready to decide, but told
both sides to file legal briefs as soon as possible.
Apple stopped using the software in 2009
and the case only covers certain iPod models
purchased between September 2006 and
March 2009.

Warriors tie club mark with 11th straight win

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Stephen Curry had 19 points

and a season-high 11 assists, Klay Thompson
scored 23 points, and the Golden State
Warriors beat the New Orleans Pelicans 11285 on Thursday night for their 11th consecutive win.
Harrison Barnes added 17 points and 10
rebounds while Draymond Green had 14
points and 14 rebounds for Golden State,
which improved to an NBA-best 16-2.
The winning streak matches the longest in
Warriors history. The 1971-72 team also won

Warriors 112, Pelicans 85

11 straight.
Golden State needed a late burst to hold off
Orlando and keep the streak going earlier this
week. The Warriors also got off a slow start
against New Orleans before pulling away
behind a 20-4 run in the second quarter for
their eighth consecutive win over the
Pelicans.
Anthony Davis had his 12th double-double
for New Orleans with 30 points and 15
rebounds.
The Pelicans were coming off a 112-104

win against Oklahoma City on Tuesday and

coach Monty Williams joked before the game
against Golden State about holding Curry and
Thompson scoreless.
Wishful thinking.
Curry helped keep the Warriors close in the
first quarter until Thompson who missed
seven of his first eight shots got going.
The duo combined for 12 of Golden States
final 16 points in the second quarter then
teamed up for 10 more in the third when the
Warriors led by as many as 22.
New Orleans, which signed embattled forward Dante Cunningham before the game,

couldnt keep up.

The Pelicans shot 41.6 percent from the
floor but went only 3 of 15 from 3-point range
and were outrebounded 56-47.
Golden State started off sluggishly and
trailed the entire first quarter while shooting
35.7 percent. They were down by eight early
in the second before going on a 20-4 run to
take the lead for good.

Sacred Heart Prep football coach Pete

Lavorato realizes he and his Gators have experienced a tremendous amount of success on the
football field over the last five seasons.
Friday night, the Gators go for their third
Central Coast Section title in three years and
the fourth in five.
Those previous CCS championships came
in the Division IV bracket comprised of the
smallest schools in CCS. Friday, SHP faces
one of the most decorated teams in CCS history, Bellarmine, in the finals on the biggest
stage CCS offers the Open Division 7 p.m.
Friday at San Jose City College.
The question facing the Gators, which are
the defending Northern California Division III
champion, was: could they compete in the
Open Division?
The Gators players have answered that with
a resounding yes. As the No. 1 seed, SHP
cruised past Oak Grove 37-13 in the first round
before knocking off another CCS Open
Division heavyweight in Los Gatos, 28-21.
Lavorato, however, doesnt get caught up in
the semantics.
I dont think Division I or Division IV or
whatever. Whoever we have to play, we play,
Lavorato said. Its just do what we do. Were
going to play Gator football.
Gator football means to execute, play disciplined football and not beat themselves with
penalties and turnovers.
Ironic thing is, that described Bellarmines
style of play as well.
(Bellarmine is) fundamentally sound. Very
athletic. Good team speed, Lavorato said.
Not real complicated. Kind of have a similar
philosophy as we do.
Theyre tough, physical and fundamentally
sound. Theyre not going to beat themselves.
The Bells have won three of the 10 Open
Division titles since the division was started
in 2004 and have an overall CCS record of 4526 with six titles.
Bellarmine is 10-2 this season with a 5-2
mark in the West Catholic Athletic League

See FOOTBALL, Page 16

DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE

While a lot of the focus has been on the return of Ben Burr-Kirven, it was the likes of Ryan
Tinsley, above, and Lapitu Mahoni who paced the Gators ground attack through the first half
of the season. Tinsley and Mahoni have combined for 1,366 yards and nine touchdowns.

OKLAHOMA CITY Theres still hope for

Douglass High School.
An Oklahoma judge says a high school football semifinal will not be played Friday so he
can consider whether Douglass, which lost to
Locust Grove in controversial fashion in the
quarterfinals, is entitled to a replay. Locust
Groves Class 3A semifinal against Heritage
Hall was postponed until next week at the earliest.
The state board that oversees high school athletics rejected a Douglass protest Wednesday, so
the school district went to court on Douglass
behalf Thursday. Judge Bernard M. Jones said he
wouldnt rule on Douglass complaint until next
Thursday.
Weve jumped one hurdle, Brandon Carey,
general counsel for Oklahoma City Public
Schools, said. Weve got an even bigger hurdle
coming up.
The other 3A semifinal between Cushing and
Kingfisher will be played this Friday as scheduled.
Locust Grove, a small school in northeastern
Oklahoma, beat Oklahoma Citys Douglass
High last week after game officials misapplied a
penalty with about a minute to go. The crew
mistakenly erased a touchdown that had given
Douglass a 25-20 lead.
Douglass wants to replay the entire game or
the final 64 seconds, from the point of the
touchdown.
Earlier in the day, Locust Grove football
coach Matt Hennesy was confident the ruling
would go his way.
Football is football, he said. You fight all
kinds of conditions. You fight the weather, you
fight injuries, you fight turnovers, you fight the
officials and, at the end of the game, when the
clock goes off, whatever the score is, is the
score. And we did everything we were supposed
to do, we followed the rules and now were moving on the next round.
Jones said during Thursdays proceedings that
he was skeptical of being involved and he doesnt know if this is the role for courts to play.

Senators to NFL: drop blackout rule or we might

By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Senators from both parties warned the National Football League on
Thursday to get rid of a four-decade-old TV
blackout rule or risk congressional action
to restrict the leagues lucrative antitrust
exemption, which allows NFL teams to
negotiate radio and television broadcast
rights together.
The blackout rule, which bars home games

from being televised in a local market if they

have not sold out, is unfair to fans who have
helped the league reap billions of dollars in
revenue from broadcast rights to games that
are among the most-watched programs on
TV, lawmakers said.
In return for their loyalty, fans in the public are often treated like a fumbled football,
said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.
When places like Buffalo, New York, fail to
sell out its 74,000-person stadium, the Bills
game is blacked out for local fans.

The Federal Communications Commission

voted this fall to stop enforcing the NFLs
blackout policy, but the action did not end
blackouts, which are written into the NFLs
private contracts with broadcast and cable
companies.
Blumenthal and other lawmakers at a
Senate Judiciary Committee hearing said
Thursday the blackout rule has long outlived
its usefulness. The rule was adopted in the
1970s to encourage ticket sales at NFL
games, which now routinely sell out at stadi-

ums across the country.

The simple fact is that these rules only
serve to benefit sports leagues and their
member teams at the expense of the hardworking fans who support them so loyally
through their money, time and passion, said
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
During last years NFL playoffs, fans of the
Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts and
Green Bay Packers came close to experiencing blackouts when those games had not sold

49ers Greg Roman moves on from criticism

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Offensive coordinator

Greg Roman has moved on from a critical
Twitter post last week by the daughter of his
boss, 49ers general manager Trent Baalke.
After a 19-3 loss to the Seahawks last
Thursday night, Cassie Baalke called for
Roman to be gone before quickly deleting
her tweet and later shutting down her
account altogether.
Greg Roman can take a hike..the 49ers
dont want you no more, the tweet read.
After her words were icons of hands clapping.
Trent Baalke said last Friday that both he
and his daughter had apologized to Roman,
who noted Thursday he had moved on and
was prepared to get the offense back on
track Sunday at Oakland after one of its
worst performances.
It was very concise, very clear, Roman
said of the interaction with the Baalkes. I
have children, I understand. We talked about

it briey and its over.

Period. Really not an
issue. ... I didnt really
react in an emotional
manner, just kind of a
matter-of-fact matter. I
understand these kind of
things do happen, and we
talked about it, cleared it
Greg Roman up and its over.
Certainly didnt play
the way we wanted to play the last game.
Guys came in and took a hard look at it and
rolled up their sleeves and got back to work.
Weve got to go get this win. Its that time
of year, and its that kind of game.
Roman has coach Jim Harbaughs support
and the coach said Roman will still be calling the plays Sunday as the 49ers (7-5) look
to win their four remaining games and return
to the playoffs for the fourth consecutive
year following three straight trips to the
NFC championship game.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick went 16
for 29 for 121 yards with two interceptions

and four sacks in one of his worst outings as

a pro and the 49ers were outgained 379-164.
Kaepernicks 36.7 passer rating was the
second lowest of his career behind a Week 2
defeat at Seattle in September 2013.
Weve got a resilient group and weve
got a group with a lot of pride. Weve got a
lot of high-quality, high-character individuals, Roman said. Take out the football
part of it. Weve got guys that I want to be
in a trench with. And, when you go out and
you have that kind of performance youve
got to evaluate it, look at it and weve got
guys that are their own harshest critics as
well. So, I think were dealing from the
high ground there.
Fullback Bruce Miller said this week that
defenses might be catching on to San
Franciscos shifts on an offense that is
maybe even being a little bit repetitive,
giving the same looks.
I dont think new things need to be
introduced. Weve done a lot of things well
this year, Miller said. I denitely think
being more consistent, week in and week

Brown anxious to face former team

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders cornerback

Tarell Brown has a fairly good idea what to
expect this week from San Francisco
receivers Anquan Boldin and Michael
Crabtree.
He should.
Brown spent his first seven NFL seasons
with the 49ers and regularly squared off
against the two wide receivers during practices when hitting was kept to a minimum
and the competition light.
This time there wont be any restrictions,
and Brown is looking forward to it.
Ill have the opposite jersey so it wont
be practice, thats the biggest thing, Brown
said. Itll be exciting. Theyll be hyped up
to play against me, Ill be hyped up to play
against them. Its always great competition
when you go against guys youre familiar
with.
Brown has already exchanged a few friendly phone calls with some of his former teammates across the bay, but the love almost
assuredly wasnt shared with San Franciscos
front office.
A fifth-round pick in 2007 who started 42
games over his final three seasons with the
49ers, Brown didnt exactly part on amicable
terms. He was offered a three-year contract to

stay in San Francisco

which Brown termed a
slap in the face and
eventually signed a $3.5
million, one-year deal
with Oakland.
He hasnt looked back
since, even as the losses
pile up for his current
Tarell Brown team.
The Raiders limp into
the game at 1-11 and steaming toward the
No. 1 overall pick in next years draft. The
49ers (7-5) have also had their share of stumbles this season but still cling to playoff
hopes.
I wouldnt change it, Brown said. Once
you sign up for something, man, you gotta
finish it. Im that type of guy where when I
sign up for something Im going to give you
everything I have until the end. Im still
jacked up about signing here. I love the
guys, I love the locker room, I love the
organization. We just dont have the wins
that we feel like we should have.
Brown signed with the Raiders along with
former San Francisco teammate Carlos
Rogers to help improve Oaklands secondary. It hasnt worked out as hoped.
Oakland is ranked ninth in pass defense but
the Raiders have only forced eight turnovers

tied with the New York Jets for fewest in

the NFL and have only five interceptions.
Rogers started the first seven games before
being placed on injured reserve last week
with a knee injury.
Brown, who has been limited this week in
practice with a minor foot injury, has been
one of Oaklands few consistent players. He
has 52 tackles and is only seven shy of his
career high. Along with safety Charles
Woodson, Brown has also served as mentor
and tutor to some of the teams younger
defensive backs.
The guy goes out there and he gives you a
solid days work every single day out there in
practice, and thats important, interim
Oakland coach Tony Sparano said. He really
is a good pro, a good guy to sit and visit with
when youre just talking about your football
team a little bit and you want to pick somebodys brain.
The Raiders undoubtedly sought out Brown
to get some insight on Boldin, Crabtree and
the rest of the 49ers offense.
When you think of the Bay Area, you
think of both teams, Brown said. Its
going to be a physical matchup. Its going
to be electric out there. The atmosphere will
be great. But besides all of that, you just
have to go out and play football and let the
chips fall where theyll fall.

out, no matter what the look is, no matter

what the play is. I denitely think that
theres been some breakdowns, whether its
been blocking, protections. When you
have 11 guys counting on each other and
you have a breakdown, whether its just one
guy each play, it causes negative plays.
Thats what weve had a lot of lately. So
weve got to get 11 guys on the same page,
pulling on the same strings, doing the same
things, counting on each other.
NOTES : Rookie LB Chris Borland
received NFL Defensive Rookie of the
Month honors for November, when he had
57 tackles in ve games with two interceptions and three passes defensed. It doesnt
mean a whole lot, Borland said. Were in
the middle of a playoff push. ... Defensive
coordinator Vic Fangio said he will do his
best to convince DL Justin Smith to play a
15th season next year. If I have to go to
Missouri and drink a beer with him, Ill do
that, said Fangio, noting he doesnt drink
beer. Cracked Borland: Ill be on the same
ight.

Tim Howard named U.S. Bowe, Mancini head to Boxing Hall of Fame
Soccer Player of the Year
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Goalkeeper Tim Howard has won

the 2014 Player of the Year award for his work with the
U.S. national team.
It is the first time Howard has won the prestigious honor
given to a U.S. team member by Futbol de Primera.
Howard received 101 first-place votes from a panel of
journalists nationwide for a total of
363 points. He beat out Jermaine
Jones, who had 160 points, and Clint
Dempsey (147).
Howard, 35, made eight appearances
for the national team, including some
spectacular performances at the World
Cup.
He made 16 saves in the
Americans 2-1 loss in extra time to
Belgium in the second round in Brazil.
Tim Howard
Howard has stepped away from playing for the national team for this season. He is Evertons keeper in the English Premier League
and has been with the club since 2006.
The second keeper to win the award Kasey Keller got
it twice Howard has made 104 appearances for the
national team. This was the sixth time he was a finalist for
the honor.
Midfielder Jones, who was born in Germany, has 10
caps this year with the U.S squad and 48 caps overall. He
was one of the standouts for the Americans at the World
Cup, scoring against Portugal in a 2-2 draw and using his
physical style to help the United States emerge from a difficult first-round group.
He currently is with the New England Revolution and
has helped them make the MLS Cup against the Los
Angeles Galaxy.
Dempsey has nine caps this year with the U.S. team and
scored three goals. He has 39 goals in 110 games since
joining the national squad in 2004. Dempsey currently is
with the Seattle Sounders of MLS.

CANASTOTA, N.Y. Riddick Bowe, who beat undisputed

champion Evander Holyeld to win the heavyweight boxing title in 1992, and popular lightweight champion Ray
Boom Boom Mancini have been selected for induction
into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Also selected were featherweight champion Prince
Naseem Hamed of England, light yweight champion Yoko
Gushiken of Japan, manager Rafael Mendoza of Mexico,
referee Steve Smoger of Norfolk, Virginia, journalist Nigel
Collins of England, and broadcaster Jim Lampley of
Asheville, North Carolina.
Posthumous honorees include Japanese yweight Masao
Ohba, middleweight Ken Overlin of Decatur, Illinois, and
publicist John F.X. Condon of New York City.
Inductees were selected by the Boxing Writers
Association and a panel of international boxing historians.
The induction ceremony will be held June 14 at the Hall of
Fame in upstate New York.
Bowe became the undisputed champ after beating
Holyeld for the three major crowns. One of 13 siblings
who grew up poverty in Brooklyn, Bowe somehow made his
way to the pinnacle of the sport.
A 6-foot-5, 235-pounder, Bowe won his rst 31 ghts to
get a shot at the title, knocking out all but two of them. He
fought only 10 times after beating Holyeld in the rst of
their three memorable bouts and won nine of them. But it
was evident his career was declining when he had to get up
off the canvas to stop Holyeld in their nal meeting.
Bowe retired in December 1996 with a 43-1 (33 KOs) pro
record after taking a second straight beating from Andrew
Golota, although he won both ghts because Golota hit him
with low blows.
Mancini, the pride of Youngstown, Ohio, followed his
father, Lenny, into boxing and turned pro in 1979. He captured the NABF lightweight title in 1981 from Jorge
Morales and in 1982 scored a rst-round knockout of Arturo
Frias to win the WBA lightweight title.
Though his career was brief, the popular Mancini had a
profound impact. In November 1982, he defended his title
against 23-year-challenger Duk Koo Kim of South Korea at
Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in an outdoor bout televised live
by CBS. Mancini scored a knockout in the 14th round, but
Kim suffered brain injuries that led to his death four days
later.
The WBA immediately shortened its title ghts to 12
rounds and by 1990 all sanctioning organizations had fol-

Anywhere!

lowed suit. But Kims death had a negative impact on the

sports popularity.
Mancini also made successful defenses against Ernesto
Espana, Orlando Romero and Hall of Famer Bobby Chacon
before losing the title to Livingstone Bramble in 1984 and
in the rematch the next year. He ofcially retired in 1992
with a pro record of 29-5 (23 KOs).
Hamed learned to box at 7 and turned pro in 1992. In the
ensuing decade, he captured bantamweight, super bantamweight and featherweight titles and had an impressive
string of 15 successful title defenses before retiring in 2002
with a pro record of 36-1 (31 KOs).
The Tokyo-born Ohba turned pro in 1966 and compiled a
25-2-1 record before winning the WBA yweight championship in 1970. He successfully defended the title ve times
over the next three years and in his lone bout outside his
native country stopped Rocky Garcia in the ninth round in
the United States. His last ght was a successful title defense
over Thailands Chartchai Chionoi in January 1973. Three
weeks later, he died at 23 from injuries suffered in an automobile accident, nishing with a pro record of 35-2-1 (16
KOs).
Overlin learned to box in the Navy and turned pro in
1931. Perhaps his nest moment was a 10-round victory
over future heavyweight king Ezzard Charles. He retired in
1944 with a record of 135-19-9-2NC (23 KOs) and died in
1969 in Reno, Nevada.
Condon served as vice president and president of MSG
Boxing in 1981 and was matchmaker and commentator for
ghts on the MSG Network. He died in 1989.
Mendoza was one of boxings most respected managers
and booking agents. He advised 22 world champions,
including Hall of Famers Alexis Arguello and Pipino
Cuevas.
Smoger started in boxing in the early 1970s as a timekeeper, judge and referee for the Police Athletic League and
began his career as a professional referee in 1984 in New
Jersey. Over three decades in the sport, he has refereed nearly 200 title bouts.
Collins immigrated to the United States, boxed in the
U.S. Army, and eventually managed ghters before turning
his attention to writing. He began his professional career in
1973 as a correspondent for The Ring and also served as editor of Boxing Illustrated and managing editor and editor-inchief of The Ring.
Lampley served as announcer for over 40 boxing matches
on ABCs Wide World of Sports and has been calling boxing
for HBO since March 1988.

For the Bears, Marshalls injury was
another low in a disappointing season that
will likely end with them missing the playoffs for the seventh time in eight years.
He was hurt taking a knee to the right side
from the Cowboys Barry Church following
a reception in the second quarter. That happened moments after he made a spectacular
42-yard catch, juggling the ball with his
right hand, to help set up a touchdown.

play, one game behind co-champions Serra
and Valley Christian. The Bells advanced to
the finals with a pair of dramatic wins in the
first two rounds. The seventh-seeded Bells
needed overtime to get past Milpitas 9-6 in
the first round. In the semifinals, they got a
58-yard touchdown run from quarterback Troy
Martig in the waning minutes to give
Bellarmine a 21-18 win over Valley Christian
a team that had beaten the Bells 42-17 back
on Oct. 11.
You better stop the run, Lavorato said of
the Bells.
The Bellarmine defense will have its hands
full as well with the Gators rushing attack.
Averaging 246 yards per game on the ground,
Ryan Tinsley (714 yards, 4 TDs), Lapitu
Mahoni (652, 5 TDs) carried the load early, but
the offense has been greatly aided by the
return of running back/linebacker Ben BurrKirven, who has rushed for 759 yards and 16
touchdowns on just 79 carries over seven
games. In two CCS games, Burr-Kirven has
rushed for 284 yards including 200 against
Oak Grove and four scores.
Burr-Kirven was not needed as a savior,
however, because, well, the Gators were doing
just fine without him.

The blackouts were averted when local businesses bought tickets to bring the total
above the NFLs required threshold.
A bill co-sponsored by Blumenthal and
McCain would revoked the leagues antitrust
exemption unless it removes the blackout
rule.
The senators made it clear at Thursdays
hearing that they would prefer not to enact a
bill. Blumenthal and other lawmakers urged
the NFL to act on its own.
I think theyd become heroes rather than
the opposite, which they are now,
Blumenthal said.
Gerard Waldron, a lawyer who represents
the NFL, said the proposed bill would harm

SPORTS
With Ben not there, we went undefeated and
beat a really good Salinas team (which is in
the Division I championship game),
Lavorato said. What [Burr-Kirvens absence]
did was cause our guys to say, OK, were OK
without him.
SHP pulled out a last-second win over
Salinas Sept. 19, one in which quarterback
Mason Randall drove the offense 99 yards for
the game-winning touchdown and a 27-21
win, completing 9 of 10 passes on the drive
for 95 yards.
Lavorato would not go as far as to say that
was a turning point in the season, bottom
line is, if we lost to Salinas, I think we would
have been OK, but it helped forge the teams
identity.
Now with Burr-Kirven back, the Gators have
taken their play to the next level.
We were a good team. Were a better team
with [Burr-Kirven], Lavorato said. Because
hes the best player in CCS, at least thats how
I feel.
So dont look for Lavorato or the Gators to
be in awe of playing on CCSs biggest stage
or expect them to make a statement. They will
prepare for Bellarmine the way they prepared
for Los Gatos last week and Leland in Week 1
and then let the chips fall where they may.
The Open is great. I have a ton of respect
fort the Open teams. At the same time,
weve done pretty good (over the last several
years), Lavorato said. The kids dont have
anything to prove to me or to anybody. Were

by undermining the complex business and
legal structure that allows the NFL to be the
only professional sports league that offers
all of its regular-season game to viewers at
no charge through over-the-air broadcasts.
Without the certainty of paid attendance
provided by a blackout rule, NFL games are
likely to migrate from free broadcast TV to
pay TV such as cable and satellite, Waldron
said.
The bill also aims fix a problem that largely does not exist, Waldron said, noting that
no NFL games have been blacked out this
season and only two games were blacked out
in 2013. Without threats of a blackout,
advertisers may not be willing to spend as
much money to sponsor NFL games, he said.
The key factor that distinguishes the NFL
from other types of programming is its ability consistently to deliver a mass audience at
a fixed time, he said.

Wild finds salvation

in the forest
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cheryl Strayed, as played by

Reese Witherspoon in JeanMarc Vallees Wild, is, bless
the Lord, not an easily discernable type.
Shes also not the sort weve
often encountered on the welltrod paths of female stereotypes
in movies. Strayed is a bundle
of messy imperfections, as we
gradually learn from flashbacks
that accumulate throughout her
therapeutic journey on the
Pacific Crest Trail in Wild.
Shes a serial adulterer but no
villain. (How many times have
we seen that, in a woman, in our
male-dominated movies?) Shes
curious, experimental and
intrepid to the point of selfdestruction. The same traits,
though, may also be her salvation.
Im the girl that says yes

instead of no, she explains to

a friend, with all the positive
and negative implications of
that statement abundantly clear.
Heavy with grief from the loss
of her mother (Laura Dern) to
cancer, haunted by remorse for
seven years of unfaithful marriage to her sensitive husband
(Thomas Sadoski) and shaking
off a dark turn into heroin,
Strayed sets out to hike 1,100
miles up the coast, from the
Mojave Desert to Oregon. Shes

herself in isolation. When she

Witherspoon goes on a soul-baring ride

By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Once shed decided

to take on her gritty new role in Wild,
there were a few things Reese
Witherspoon knew she DIDNT want to
hear from movie studio executives:
We want her to be more likable.
We dont want her to use drugs.
We dont want her to be profane.
And so, Witherspoon says, she didnt
give them the chance.
She developed the film, which follows
a hard-living womans path to solace

and redemption via a long trek in the

wilderness, outside the studio system
under the auspices of her own production company, with private financing.
And then I took it to the studios and
said, Im not changing a word,
Witherspoon recounts in an interview.
And I had three bids on it that day.
And I think its important, you
know? the actress adds. You grow up,

tant to me that the things I put out into the
world are meaningful and thought-provoking. Otherwise, what am I doing?
Wild, based on the best-selling memoir by Cheryl Strayed, is a story of personal catharsis, and listening to Witherspoon,
one gets the sense she was seeking a sort
of professional catharsis by choosing it.
The role, which has garnered significant
Oscar buzz, includes difficult scenes depicting rough sex and heroin use. Witherspoon
wore no makeup and spent days lugging a
heavy backpack up and down hills.
By far, its the hardest thing Ive done
in my life, she says. The physical
aspects were really challenging the elements, the heat, the cold, the water, the
rain, 55 locations in 35 days, and carrying
that backpack. And there was nothing else

to cut to just me.

Emotionally, it was even harder, she
says: One day Id be getting divorced.
Another, my mother would be dying. The
next day Id be using heroin. It was just
nonstop not even a roller coaster, just a
continual descent downward! There are
always scenes that I dread, that I say, That
days going to be miserable. And here, it
was three weeks of that.
Witherspoons director, Jean-Marc
Vallee, calls the actress a trouper. As
well he should: He noticed that the backpack looked too light and forced her to
carry a much heavier one. And then he
just walked away, and I was like, OK,
Witherspoon laughs. You can see it digging into my skin. Because it really WAS
digging into my skin!
Vallee says Witherspoon went out there
with no makeup, looking like nothing, on
the trail for 65 percent of the film, looking
like a hiker, with a heavy backpack on her
back. I removed the mirrors in the makeup
trailer and she didnt look at herself.

Witherspoon, who already has one Oscar

on the mantelpiece for 2005s Walk the
Line, says it was no accident that she
chose such a film at this point in her
career, a time that finds her veering away
from trademark sunny, bright roles and
romantic comedies. (Her 2012 supporting
role in the Mississippi River coming-ofage tale Mud is another example of her
new direction.)
Its something I consciously did for
myself, she says. Her production company, Pacific Standard, is specifically geared
toward projects with complex roles for
women like the role played by
Rosamund Pike in Gone Girl, which
came out in October.
I was seeing sort of a deficit in leading
roles for women, she says. It was just
sort of the lack of complex characters, of
interesting, dynamic women onscreen. I
have a 15-year old daughter and its very
important to me what she sees, in movies
and television.
Wild, which opens in select theaters

Dec. 3, was an easy choice.

I read the manuscript in 24 hours, she
says, after receiving it from Strayed. And
I immediately called my agent and said, I
dont know who this woman is, but I need
to talk to her. I need to hug this person,
and get to know her. It is absolutely one
of the most important books Ive ever read
in my life.
Its important to note, Witherspoon
adds, that Wild, which has a screenplay
by Nick Hornby, isnt a chick movie
something she hopes audiences will realize.
Its written by a man and its directed by
a man, she says. If it was a mans story,
I dont think wed be remarking that its a
mans movie.
Its a movie about humanity, she says.
About love and loss and sex and drugs,
and how to find your way out of the woods.
I think we all have this moment in our
lives when we realize, no ones coming
along to save us. We have to save ourselves.

Much has already been made of

Witherspoons unadorned transformation
in Wild. Yes, shes without makeup here
and, as she did in her brief role in Mud,
feels closer, more intimate with the audience. Yet she still possesses an always-incontrol fortitude that perhaps makes her a
less than ideal fit for the looser Strayed.
Of Witherspoons many fine attributes,
the stuff of the films title is not one of
them.
The revelation on Wild is less
Witherspoon than Vallee. The FrenchCanadian director somehow stayed below
the radar even after shepherding his stars
in his last film Dallas Buyers Club to
Oscars. Just as he did in that film, Vallee

proves particularly adept at shooting in

lived-in environs where he and his actors
find a live naturalism.
Wild may be a part of the recent trend
of trek films (like the recent Tracks or
127 Hours), but its flow between past
and present is uniquely smooth thanks to
Vallee (who shares an editing credit with
Martin Pensa under a pseudonym, John
Mac McMurphy). The flashbacks come in
chunks or just a flash of imagery without
sound, triggered by a smell or a song.
The hardest thing to get past in Wild
and this is a problem some have had
since Thoreau is that a much-documented solitude cant help but seem artificially
conceived. (Strayed isnt seen writing in

the film, but she does briefly express her

literary hopes of being published in
Harpers, and she leaves cheesy quotes
along the trail.) Such tales come with a
prerequisite arc of salvation, the journeys
seeming as much for the sake of a book or
a movie as genuine reflection.
Wild is ultimately unique for its twist,
even if it comes by an unfortunately intrusive narration. Strayeds rocky past doesnt need an apology if it gets her where
shes going.
Wild, a Fox Searchlight release, is
rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for sexual content, nudity,
drug use and language. Running time: 115
minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

LOCOMOTIVE PHOTOGRAPHS AT
THE O. WINSTON LINK MUSEUM IN
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA. In 1955, New
York-based commercial photographer Ogle
Winston Link (1914-2001) happened to be
in Virginia just as the Norfolk and Western
Railway announced that it would change
from steam to diesel engines. The Railway,
headquartered since the 1800s in Roanoke
was the last major American railroad to
operate exclusively under steam power, so
its decision to convert effectively meant the
end of the steam locomotive in the United
States. But it also meant the beginning of a
five-year, self-financed labor of love for
photographer Link, who traveled through
the mountains of Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland and North Carolina, documenting
this technological shift. By 1960, when the
transition from steam to diesel was complete, Link had captured 2400 images.
Today, 250 of these dramatic photographs
are displayed at the O. Winston Link
Museum in the former passenger station of
the Norfolk and Western Railway in downtown Roanoke. These stunning large-scale
works, most taken at night, convey Links
strong emotional connection with his subject. He said, The train is as close to a
human being as you can get. It talks, it
moves, it grunts and groans. And each
engine has its own characteristics-its own
sound and smell and sights. In Links spectacular photographs, the great machines
live again.
HOTS HOT EAS TB OUND. One of

Links best-known photographs is Hotshot

Eastbound, which shows a steam train at
night speeding past a small-town drive-in
movie theater. Link posed the photograph
by arranging for a young couple to sit and
watch the movie in Links own car. To photograph the speeding train, Link used a
large format 4x5 Graphic View camera with
black and white film, from which he could
later produce silver gelatin prints. He set up
42 flashbulbs in a series and arranged
another light to highlight the car and the
couple. The photo was taken in the instant
that the train passed. Link added the airplane image on the movie screen later from
a negative hed made separately of the film,
since his own lights had washed out the
actual movie.
STEAM GIANTS ON FILM. Mr. Jeff
Sanders, President of the Roanoke Chapter
of the National Railway Historical Society,
said, The Norfolk and Western Railway
(N&W Ry), headquartered in Roanoke,
Virginia, was the last major railroad in the
country to maintain steam motive power.
The railroad designed and built its own locomotives at the companys shops in
Roanoke. They were known throughout the
world as the most powerful and efficient
steam power ever built. The N&Ws principal task was hauling high quality coal from
southern West Virginia and southwest
Virginia to the port at Norfolk, Virginia.
For that reason, the management of the
Railway stayed with coal-powered steam as
long as they possibly could. In fact the City
of Roanokes very existence and growth for
nearly 100 years was due to the N&W Ry,
and ultimately, to coal. Mr. Link, a profes-

Miley Cyrus dazzles at Art

Basel Miami Beach show
By Kelli Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. In a bizarre

and emotionally transparent performance, Miley Cyrus mocked her own
music, opened up about her dark year
and belted out some Led Zeppelin. Oh
yeah, and she smoked pot onstage.
Wearing a silver metallic Cleopatra
wig and bright turquoise eye shadow,
Cyrus kicked off a private, poolside
show at the Raleigh Hotel in South
Beach singing a duet of Super Freak
with a topless woman. Cyrus was
among the top-billed acts during the
star-studded week of the prestigious
Art Basel Miami Beach.
The 22-year-old singer performed
mostly covers, including Led

Miley Cyrus

Zeppelin,
the
Beatles Lucy in
the
Sky
With
Diamonds
and
Johnny
Cash,
telling the audience
she understood they
were serious about
real art and probably werent fans of
her
pop-music

style.
You thought (Art Basel) was a
respected place where you could
escape me, said Cyrus, who talked
about her difficult year after her twerking performance at the 2013 MTV
Video Music Awards and the death of
her dog.
The former Disney star said it took
her to a dark place and made her realize

many things she was doing seemed

meaningless.
This year has constantly challenged me, and thats why I started
doing art, she said before launching
into a song she wrote after her friends
cat spoke to her in a dream. She also
played the macabre song on the piano,
abruptly banging on the keys at the
end, saying she was sick of talking
about death and wanted to move on to
something fun.
Later in the show, she donned a massive rainbow with a cutout for her
head, while two other performers wore
mushroom costumes. At one point,
two costumed sharks and a penis ran
across the stage. Despite distractions
of bubbles floating through the air and
falling confetti, one thing stood out
her vocal chops.

Kathleen Turner stars as columnist Ivins in Red Hot Patriot

By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

The late Molly Ivins was a syndicated newspaper columnist who had
little patience for stupidity, incompetence, pomposity or dishonesty,
especially in politicians.
Instead of vitriol, though, she
skewered them with her homegrown
Texas humor, as seen in Red Hot
Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly
Ivins.
Kathleen Turner brings her to life
in a one-woman play by twin sisters
Margaret and Allison Engel and presented by Berkeley Repertory
Theatre.
Wearing a blue denim work shirt,
jeans and red cowboy boots, Turner
strides around the newsroom that
houses her utilitarian desk with its
manual typewriter and a preserved
armadillo.
Shes ostensibly trying to write a
column about her father, with whom
she had a love-hate relationship and
whom she called the General. He
was a conservative, she a liberal.
Shes occasionally interrupted by
bulletins coming over the Associated
Press wire machine a staple of
newsrooms before computers and
delivered to her by a silent copy boy
(Michael Barrett Austin).
Along the way, she talks about her
life, career and the people shes met.

She started out in journalism when

most newsrooms were all-male and
when most journalists were hard
drinkers, a situation that apparently
led to her own problems with alcohol.
Her anecdotes are peppered with
references to her mentors and famous
people, mostly conservative politicians, most of whom she held in low
regard. Shes the one who dubbed
George W. Bush Shrub.
Directed by David Esbjornson,
Turner employs her famously sultry
voice and assured stage presence to
personify Ivins. She easily transitions from astute, often salty humor
to more serious issues.
The latter include the deaths of two
boyfriends, one in a motorcycle accident and one in the Vietnam war,
which Ivins opposed. She says that
both it and the Iraq war were predicated on lies.
The play concludes with her plea
for people to stand up for their rights
and
to
oppose
wrongdoing.
Ironically, this came during opening
night as people across the country
were protesting a grand jurys decision not to indict a white police officer accused of killing a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.
When Ivins died of breast cancer in
2007 at the age of 62, she left a void
that has yet to be filled at newspapers
like the San Francisco Chronicle and

Wit of Molly Ivins, a one-woman show about beloved journalist and satirist Molly Ivins.
hundreds of others across the country.
She was a Texas original.
Running about 80 minutes without
intermission, the play is both
insightful and funny highly
enjoyable.
Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit
of Molly Ivins will continue
through Jan. 4 in Berkeley Repertory
Theatres Roda Theatre, 2015

100 YEARS
Continued from page 1
very, very nice elegant evening thats heavily subsidized; weve budgeted for an event
over the last three to four years. Weve
been through a lot (with the 2010 explosion and fire), but we have some very, very
positive things we need to celebrate. We
have a lot to be thankful for and were looking forward to the next 100.
San Bruno has come a long way. Prior to
1750, the Peninsula was inhabited by the
Ohlone Indians, who were hunter-gatherers.
Then, Spanish Basque explorer Captain
Bruno Heceta came to the western shore of
the San Francisco Bay in 1775 and named
the largest land mass on that side of the
Peninsula Mount San Bruno, after his
patron saint. Saint Bruno the Confessor was
an 11th-century monk and founder of the
Carthusian order of monks. The land was

and crafts, to up-and-coming artists, Watt
said. Theres more opportunities for everyone to find something they like.
The Shop at Flywheel Press, which first
started the event about a year and a half ago,
will be lighting up Seventh Avenue and the
alleyway next door by hosting music, free
drinks and a food truck. The Neologian Art
Gallery is planning a live life-drawing exhibition and Scribble Me Happy is having a
free craft station. The Arts Unity Movement
is hosting a holiday-themed show where
attendees can make their own cards and

taken over by the Mexican government, but
eventually went back to the United States.
In the 1850s, James Thorpe built a lean-to
on what is now El Camino Real and San
Mateo Avenue for changing and watering
horses on the then county road between San
Jose and San Francisco. In 1875, after several changes of ownership and name,
Thorpes Place, or the 14 Mile House, was
transformed by August Jenevein into Uncle
Toms Cabin, an eating, drinking and gaming establishment. The cabin was open for
nearly 75 years and during prohibition a
speakeasy was run out of the garage behind
the cabin, according to the San Bruno
Centennial website.
Katie OConnell, a librarian for the city,
has been working as the centennial
archivist, researching the citys history for
a year and a half. She collected old photos
from San Bruno residents, documents and
has been conducting interviews of residents
about San Bruno.
Its been really interesting to see how
the city has changed, she said. Its interworking artists space can be visited at the
Claremont Art Studios and Peninsula
Studios. Each location will have art for sale.
A lot of the artists stuff is phenomenal
to say the least, and also reasonably priced
for the community. A lot of the artists are
offering smaller prints or small pieces for
cheaper, so everybody has a chance to get
something, said Neologian Art Gallery
owner Jesse Flora.
Part of the reason the event has been able
to expand is because each month has
brought more artists out of the woodwork,
Watt said.
Its always changing and its been really
surprising how many different kinds of
artists have been coming forward and identifying themselves at these different venues
and how many connections artists are mak-

esting to see how many of the old things are

still around.
This includes some homes that have been
around for 80 years, she said.
To celebrate San Brunos centennial, the
Shops at Tanforan has put together a wall of
photographs from San Brunos history.
This display is located in the main lobby of
the shopping center, next to Barnes &
Noble, across from BJs Brewhouse.
Additionally, those interested in sharing
their memories of San Bruno can take part
in a 30-minute interview from 4:30 p.m.7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11 at the San
Bruno Recreation Center. The city will be
making sound recordings of each interview.
The oral history recordings will be preserved as part of San Bruno history. One
clip from each interview will be added to the
San Bruno Stories Project.
To sign up for a 30-minute oral history
interview slot, email Katie OConnell at
koconnell@sanbruno. ca. gov or call the
library at 616-7078. Slots will be assigned
on a first-come, first-served basis. Oral his-

tory interviews, some of which were recorded in 1970s, from some of San Brunos
founding citizens and first families, sharing
their memories and experiences of San
Bruno going back to the 1800s, are already
online at soundcloud.com/sanbrunopersonalhistories.
The gala takes place 6 p.m.-11 p.m.
Saturday, Dec. 6 at Skyline College. The
event is open to everyone over 21 years
old. Tickets are now on sale for $100 at the
Recreation Center located at 251 City Park
Way or by calling 616-7187 by 5 p.m.
Friday, Dec. 5. The ticket price includes
valet parking, beer, wine and soft drinks,
artisan servings, live music, dancing and a
centennial commemorative gift. A no-host
bar will also be available for mixed drinks.
The city will compile a time capsule as
well. Although an exact date hasnt been
picked, its a possibility an event surrounding the capsule will happen on the official
100th anniversary, Dec. 23, Ruane said.

Flora recently opened the Neologian Art

Gallery to the public in June where he hosts
life-drawing courses, which are hard to find
outside a university setting, Watt said.
Flora, a photographer whose works will
be on display, said hes thrilled to now have
a venue where he can help showcase artists
from the area.
Ive been participating just because the
whole premise of my art gallery is to actually give artists a chance to expose themselves to the community as well as be more
accessible to the community, Flora said. I
cant think of anything better than First
Friday to actually get that going.

ing, Watt said. Its really important for

artists to connect for our creativity, and this

property to the newly revamped

Granada Community Service District,
which pledged to build a community
center, but the fire district ultimately
offered the Harbor District Board of
Commissioners the best deal.
[Were] very excited. Were moving
forward with the project and the plan is
to build a fire station somewhere on the
2.5 acres, said Assistant Fire Chief
Paul Cole.
Station 40, which currently occupies
a more than 50-year-old building across
the street, would have a new home and
be able to offer a drive-thru bay at the
post office lot, Cole said. The fire district has the funds budgeted and the new
station is called for in its strategic
plan, Cole said.
Without sewer or water infrastructure,
the Harbor Districts Realtor Jan Gray
previously said no institution would
lend on the property and the buyer
would be paying cash.
Three were bidding for the property
that carries split-zoning requirements
commercial and the unique El
Granada gateway, which requires a community benefit.
The somewhat mysterious Global
Quality Foods, a Hayward-based
seafood wholesaler that no one seems
to know much about, also sought ownership of the property.
The fire district had shown interest in
purchasing the property for years and
offered a few hundred thousand dollars
more than the Granada district, said
Commissioner Jim Tucker.
The best deal for us was the fire district. It gave use the money we wanted
plus it was to a public agency thats
involved in public service, Tucker
said.

HEALTH
Continued from page 1
the most important and politically sensitive yardsticks for Obamas health
care law, which offers subsidized private insurance to people who dont
have access to coverage through their
jobs. Sharper premium hikes were common before it passed.
The modest average increases reported for 2015 mask bigger swings from
state to state, and even within regions
of a state. According to data released by
the administration, some communities
will still see double-digit hikes while
others are seeing decreases. Most are
somewhere in the middle.
Prior to the Affordable Care Act taking place, we saw double-digit increases in health care costs in this country,
said White House spokesman Josh

About 10 people spoke out at the

Harbor District board meeting with
hopes the Granada district would win
the bid and construct the unincorporated towns first community center, said
Tom Mattusch, who will be sworn on to
the Harbor District board after winning
Commissioner Will Holsingers seat in
November.
Im just hoping the fire district can
make something that additionally
brings satisfaction to the community,
Mattusch said. Theres just been so
much of an outcry and so many people
speaking up for a community center.
Cole said constructing a new station
is for the public.
Its an absolute benefit. There is no
question as to the benefit to the community. That fire station has served that
community well, Cole said. Locating
right across the street continues with
that ongoing benefit.
With incumbents Holsinger and
Tucker leaving their posts, Mattusch
contends the Harbor District board
should have waited until he, newcomer
Nicole
David
and
re-elected
Commissioner Robert Bernardo were
sworn in Jan. 5.
The fire district was awarded the property with approval from Tucker,
Holsinger and Pietro Parravano, president of the Harbor District Board of
Commissioners, while Bernardo and
Commissioner Sabrina Brennan voted
against the sale.
Bernardo said it was a difficult decision and while he respects the fire district, would have preferred the Granada
districts plans.
You have two very capable agencies
with two missions that are equally
valid. You have one thats public safety,
which is the fire district, and one that is
community serving, so I struggled with
this decision. But I personally felt that
sometimes you cant always just look at
the money, you have to look at the

greatest benefit for the community. And

at the end of the day, thats what tipped
the scale for me, Bernardo said.
Mattusch said one might question if
the outcome would have been different
had the sale waited a month.
The lot was [donated] in 1953 and
what difference would it have made if we
waited a few weeks. The one thing I
would have liked to see from all parties
was how they were going to work
with the community to bring something thats directly needed in El
Granada. Were unincorporated out there
and a lot of people wanted a community
center for people to have classes.
Theres so much going on, theres just
no place to put on some of these public
activities, Mattusch said.
All might not be lost for the Granada
district as board President Matthew
Clark previously said there were informal discussions between his district
and fire district representatives about
sharing the large property.
Cole said he wouldnt comment or
speculate on any possible partnership
and the fire district is focused on building a station.
Were very preliminary at this
point. The first thing was to acquire the
land and start working on the zoning,
then well see if theres something we
can do to allow us to maximize the use
of the property and if that does mean we
can accommodate other entities, thats
one thing, but the primary purpose was
to put our station there, Cole said.
Tucker, whose last meeting was
Wednesday after 16 years as a commissioner, said he hopes the property will
be used to its fullest.
I understand they dont need all that
land and I understand also, although Im
not privy to it, that theyve been talking to Granada, Tucker said. Im hoping that theyll work with Granada and
let Granada put in some kind of park or
something there.

Earnest. Those were routine.

Many people who go back to the
website will now find that their costs
are limited to only 5 percent on average, he said, a much lower cost
increase than was in place before the
Affordable Care Act.
Even after Thursdays report, the bottom line remains blurry.
Last year, the administration released
its analysis of premiums before the
start of open enrollment season. This
years snapshot came more than two
weeks after sign-ups had started and
covered 13 fewer states. Among the
missing states were two of the largest,
California and New York.
Last years report provided average
premiums for three types of plans
across 48 states close to a national
number. This years report has no comparable statistic.
With both chambers of Congress
under Republican control next year, the
health care law will face even closer

scrutiny from opponents still pursuing

its repeal.
Nonetheless, industry experts said
the picture appears positive for consumers and the administration.
Benchmark premiums going into
year two of the health law are very stable
nationally, driven largely by strong
competition among insurers, said Larry
Levitt of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family
Foundation. How the law is playing out
varies quite a bit across the country, with
premiums increasing in some areas but
actually going down in other places,
which is almost unheard of.
Administration officials said that on
the whole, the market for individual
insurance has gotten better for consumers.
In todays marketplace, issuers are
competing for business, Health and
Human Services Secretary Sylvia M.
Burwell said in a statement. Returning
customers may find an even better deal
if they shop and save.

Experts see Korean

parallels in Sony hack
By Brandon Bailey and Youkyung Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea Some cybersecurity experts say theyve found striking
similarities between the code used in the
hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment and
attacks blamed on North Korea which targeted South Korean companies and government agencies last year.
Sony is working with the FBI and
Silicon Valley security firm FireEye to
investigate the attacks that apparently
gave access to unreleased movies as well
as personnel records, technical documents
and other material. It has not commented
on any Korean connection, except to deny
a report Wednesday that it was poised to
announce such a link. The FBI and FireEye
also had no comment Wednesday.
But three independent researchers told
the Associated Press there are intriguing
signs of a North Korean link to the attack,
even as others warned its difficult to make
a definitive connection.
Analysts said they were able to examine
code that was shared online after the FBI
sent a flash alert to businesses this week,
warning about a new threat from destructive malware. While the FBI alert did not
mention Sony Pictures by name,
researchers said the alert listed Internet
Protocol addresses that led them to samples of malware and references to Sonys
internal network and passwords.
Weve seen it and it has a number of
similarities to the attack code used in
March 2013 during Dark Seoul, said
Tom Kellermann, chief cybersecurity officer for Trend Micro, a Japanese security
company with operations in the United
States. Dark Seoul refers to attacks last
March and in June 2013 on South Korean

There are strong indications

of North Korean involvement.
All roads lead to Rome here.
Tom Kellermann, chief
cybersecurity officer for Trend Micro

companies and government servers, which

the South Korean government blamed on
the North.
Kellermann stopped short of saying the
attack that crippled Sonys internal computer systems last week was definitely the
work of North Korea. But he said, There
are strong indications of North Korean
involvement. All roads lead to Rome here.
Speculation about a North Korean link
to the Sony hacking has centered on that
countrys angry denunciation of an upcoming Sony comedy film, in which two
American journalists are sent to North
Korea to assassinate its leader Kim Jong
Un. North Korea has threatened merciless retaliation for the movie, saying its
release would be an act of war that we will
never tolerate.
If the North Korean government were
involved in the Sony hack, it would be a
departure from the majority of high-profile
computer hacks in recent years, which
have been blamed on criminal groups
seeking financial data or other valuable
information. Its a harbinger of a new era
of hacking, one thats going to be far more
problematic, said Kellermann.
It would also make the Sony hack the
first known major North Korean cyber
assault targeted outside South Korea. Seoul
has recently stepped up the militarys
cyber warfare capabilities to better
respond to what it sees as a growing cyber
threat from Pyongyang.

Israels election a
referendum on Netanyahu

31

Around the world

JERUSALEM The coming Israeli election amounts to a referendum on Benjamin

Netanyahu hard-headed defender of Israel
to some, the man who buried dreams of
peace to others.
Early polls suggest Netanyahu, an enigmatic leader who has already served three
terms as prime minister, is likely to be
returned for a fourth on March 17. But new
developments, especially the emergence of
an array of unpredictable centrist parties,
make things difficult to predict.
Under Netanyahu, Israel is a nation in
bunker mode: The mindset is one of furrowed
brows, distrust of outsiders, and vigilance
against anti-Semitism. Despite some ideological feints, he and his Likud Party essentially represent continued occupation and
settlement of the West Bank a territory
captured in the 1967 war that is the heartland of the would-be Palestinian state.

U.S. troops have immunity in Iraq

BAGHDAD Washington has an agreement with Baghdad on privileges and immunities for the growing number of troops
based in Iraq who are helping in the fight
against the Islamic State group, the new

U.S. ambassador said Thursday.

In an exclusive interview with the
Associated Press, Stuart Jones said Prime
Minister Haider al-Abadi has given assurances that U.S. troops will receive immunity from prosecution. Under Iraqs former
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, that issue
was a major sticking point, ultimately leading to the decision to withdraw all remaining U.S. troops in late 2011.

Allies promise to support

Afghanistan beyond war
LONDON The United States, Britain
and other allies promised Thursday not to
abandon Afghanistans new government,
and the countrys president said peace is a
top priority as international security missions end and Taliban attacks surge.
At a one-day meeting of envoys from
more than 60 countries, Afghan President
Ashraf Ghani said observers who had predicted doom for Afghanistan as the international military presence wound down were
wrong.
History will not be repeated. We have
overcome the past, Ghani told diplomats at
the end of the conference.
