Anew high school focused on design and
hands-on projects, while retaining tradi-
tional learning, will be coming to the San
Mateo Union High School District next
year.
Now that a petition has been approved,
Design Tech High School Director Ken
Montgomery and his team will go into a
planning phase which would involve look-
ing for a charter school location and devel-
oping curriculum. The San Mateo Union
High School District Board of Trustees
voted 5-0 to accept the petition for the 520-
student charter school at a meeting yester-
day. The petition will last ve years.
Were thrilled, said Nicole Cerra, the
schools curriculum director. Its been a
very reasonable process and people have
been really cooperative and been approach-
ing this from the mindset of wanting to
make this work.
With good schools already in the district,
Montgomery, who is assistant principal at
Capuchino High School, previously said he
still wants to provide students with another
option. The petition had more than 300 sig-
natures, more than the 75 signatures
required for the school. It would open with a
freshmen class in August 2014, then add on
classes each year following. The education-
al model of the school emphasizes knowl-
edge in action and extreme personaliza-
tion.
We do believe theres still a tremendous
amount of work that needs to be done about

SAN DIEGO Californias unemploy-
ment rate fell to 8.7 percent in September
and was unchanged in October, snapping a
two-month streak of increases, the state
Employment Development Department said
Friday.
California added 39,800 nonfarm jobs in
October. Gains were broad, with the con-
struction, leisure and hospitality, and other
sectors expanding payrolls. Government
led the way with 12,200 new jobs.
Only two of 11 sectors shrank during
October manufacturing and nance.
The release of Septembers data was
delayed by a month because of the federal
government shutdown. The numbers are
derived from a federal survey of California
households.

ASan Diego woman who allegedly stole
an RV in San Mateo and led sheriffs
deputies on a slow-speed chase through
Half Moon Bay while giving the peace
sign out a window pleaded not guilty Friday
to felony counts of commercial burglary,
vehicle theft and reckless driving.
Carly Janine Gutierrez, 32, appeared in
court once before but wanted time to hire an
attorney before entering a plea to the
charges. After pleading no contest to all
charges, she waived her right to a speedy
prosecution and a preliminary hearing was
set for Jan. 29
The chain of events
began around 1:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Nov. 13
when Gutierrez allegedly
walked into the adminis-
trative office at Condon
and Sons Lumber Yard
and tried to fraudulently
rent an RV. When the
business denied her,
Gutierrez reportedly went outside, climbed
into an RV worth more than $25,000 and
drove away.
San Mateo police put out a countywide
bulletin and a sheriffs deputy spotted the
stolen RV near State Route 92 and Main
Street in Half Moon Bay. Gutierrez alleged-
ly ignored the deputys lights and siren,
driving away through stop signs at speeds
between 25 mph and 35 mph with her out-
reached arm flashing the sign until the RV
stopped near Kelly Avenue.
Gutierrez was allegedly reported missing
by friends the previous week.
She remains in custody in lieu of
$25,000 bail and returns to court Dec. 12
for a Superior Court review conference.

An airline passenger headed out of San
Francisco International Airport with seven
pounds of vacuum-sealed marijuana was sen-
tenced Friday to seven months in jail which he
can spend in a residential treatment program.
In September, a jury convicted Kenneth
Samuel Gibson, 46, of felony counts of pos-
sessing marijuana for sale and transporta-
tion of marijuana. He has credit of one day
toward his seven-month term and was also
sentenced to three years of supervised pro-
bation. A judge ruled that Gibson can con-
vert his jail time to a rehabilitation pro-
gram.
San Francisco police at the airport bureau
arrested Gibson Feb. 1 as he and his wife
headed to Boston for a ve-day trip. The
couple were already checked in for their
JetBlue flight and were
getting through the
screening area when a
security worker at the X-
ray machine noticed sev-
eral packages of biolog-
ical material inside
Gibsons carry-on bag,
according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
Inside the bag were
seven 1-pound bags of
marijuana that were double bagged and vacu-
um sealed. Prosecutors say Gibson immedi-
ately said he knew the marijuana was in his
bag and that he had it for personal use. He
also showed a valid medical marijuana card
from a doctor in Sonoma County.
Gibson has been out of custody on
$20,000 bail.

A29-year-old San Francisco woman who
reportedly tried to rent a car at San
Francisco International Airport using a
false drivers license pleaded not guilty
Friday to several felonies.
Denise Rohrbach was charged with one
count of commercial burglary, one count
of unauthorized use of anothers identifica-
tion, forgery, possession of credit card
information, possession of stolen proper-
ty and possession of a controlled sub-
stance. She asked for a court-appointed
attorney and pleaded not
guilty to all charges,
said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Karen
Guidotti.
Bail was set at
$100,000 and she
remains in custody.
Rohrbach was arrested
Nov. 20 after officers
from the San Francisco
Police Departments air-
port bureau were called to the rental car
facility at the airport because a woman was
trying to rent a vehicle with fraudulent
identification. Rohrbach gave the officers
the license, which turned out to be fake,
and was also in possession of several
other fraudulent pieces of identification,
altered personal checks, credit cards,
methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
After her arrest, sheriffs detectives fig-
ured out Rohrbachs real identity and con-
firmed at least six more identity theft vic-
tims, according to the Sheriffs Office.
Rohrbach returns to court Nov. 27 for a
Superior Court review conference and Dec.
5 for a preliminary hearing.

Computer glitch is
latest issue for transit agency
OAKLAND In recent months, the San
Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit system has
seen two strikes shut down service and had
two workers killed on tracks.
Now BARTis facing its latest set of prob-
lems: a computer glitch that shut down tran-
sit service during the Friday morning com-
mute and more trouble reaching a new con-
tract with workers.
BARThas been so inconsistent this year,
(its been) a bad year for them, commuter
Jill Ann Cosentino, 35, of Oakland, said
Friday as she headed to her event planning
job in San Francisco.
The nations fth-largest commuter rail
system with an average weekday ridership of
400,000, BART has been shut down twice
when more than 2,300 members of the
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 and
Service Employees International Union
Local 1021 walked off their jobs for several
days amid contract talks.
The two strikes in July and October
snarled commutes in the region, and people
turned to crowded buses, ferries and roadways
as alternatives.
During the second strike, two BARTwork-
ers were killed by a train operated by an
employee undergoing training. The parties
soon returned to the bargaining table and
reached a tentative deal Oct. 21.
That deal hit a snag Thursday when
BARTs board approved the agreement with-
out a key Family Medical Leave Act provi-
sion that would provide six weeks of paid
leave to care for sick family members. The
transit agency said the provision could cost
$44 million over four years if one-third of
union workers take six-week leaves each
year.
Simply put, (BART) cannot afford to give
its employees another six weeks of paid
leave, on top of the generous leave already
allowed in the BARTemployee benet pack-
age, BARTPresident Tom Radulovich said.

Gilead gets European Union
recommendation on hepatitis C drug
Gilead Sciences said Friday that an advi-
sory committee in the European Union is
recommending that its hepatitis C drug
Sovaldi receive marketing approval.
The drug is still being reviewed, but the
recommendation could improve the
chances it will be approved. Gilead says
Sovaldi, or sofosbuvir, could be available
in the EU during the first quarter of 2014.
The drug is also being reviewed by U.S.
regulators. Food and Drug Administration
advisers recommended approval in
October, and the FDA is expected to make
a decision on Sovaldi by Dec. 8.
Current treatments for hepatitis C can
take up to a year of therapy and only cure
about three out of four patients. Sovaldi is
a pill taken once per day, and in clinical
trials it cured up to 90 percent of patients
infected with the most common form of
the virus in just 12 weeks. Gilead acquired
the hepatitis C drug in 2012 when it
bought Pharmasset for $11.1 billion.
Shares of Foster City- based Gilead
Sciences Inc. rose $3.37, or 4.7 percent,
to $75 in morning trading after rising as
high as $75.14, an all-time high.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A50-year-old San Mateo man with sever-
al drunk driving convictions was sentenced
to six years in prison for his latest intoxi-
cated trip speeding up El Camino Real and
over a curb into opposing trafc.
Scott Anthony Halls blood alcohol level
after his Jan. 6 arrest was .34 percent
although he claimed he had just two beers,
according to prosecutors.
Hall asked the court for mercy and request-
ed a treatment program rather than incarcer-
ation, said District
Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Instead, Judge Jonathan
Karesh denied a defense
request to discount a pre-
vious conviction and sen-
tenced him as a second-
striker to six years in
prison with credit of 369
days. He must also regis-
ter as a habitual trafc offender and the court
revoked his drivers license.
San Mateo police arrested Hall just before
11 p.m. Jan. 6 after he was spotted speeding
at 50 mph northbound near the Hillsdale
Shopping Center. He reportedly swerved
between lanes, nearly striking other vehi-
cles, before turning right onto the curb and
into the opposing lane of trafc. Police
stopped him and arrested him on suspicion
of driving while intoxicated.
In September, he pleaded no contest to
felony drunk driving with priors and admit-
ted one prior strike.
He has been in custody on $250,000 bail.

If the 329-vote margi n
holds through the offi-
cial canvass when
election officials verify
the tallies are accurate
Democrats will maintain
their supermajorities in both legislative
chambers. The two-thirds edge allows
Democrats to pass tax increases and emer-
gency legislation, override gubernatorial
vetoes and put constitutional amendments
before voters without any Republican
votes.
Shelley did not concede and said she will
have five days after the official canvass
deadline of Dec. 2 to decide whether to
challenge the count. The secretary of state
has until Dec. 27 to certify the results.
Shelley noted that the vote tally submit-
ted Friday included 351 more ballots than
Los Angeles County election officials had
said were waiting to be counted after
Election Day.

Armando Mora-Robledo
Armando Mora-Robledo, born March 20, 1969, in San
Mateo died Nov. 16, 2013.
He was 44.
He is survived by his daughter Ambria;
father Armando Sr.; girlfriend Glenda;
sister Myrna; brothers Armando and
Carlos and his many nieces and nephews
along with other family members.
Armando was a very loving and devot-
ed father to Ambria. She was his pride and
j oy.
His passion was his moving company
that he built from the ground up into a successful business.
He took pride in not only being a hard worker but a fair and
hands-on boss. He was always willing to lend a helping
hand, giving his employees the opportunity to work when
other companies would turn them away. He was well known
for believing that everybody deserved a second chance to
better themselves.
Armando was an avid sports fan who enjoyed watching
the Bay Area teams play and attending home games as much
as possible. He will be missed by his many family members
and friends.
Family and friends are invited to attend a memorial mass 7

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,right,and U.S.Sen. Lamar Alexander walk to a press
conference on Capitol Hill.
By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON All roads lead to
Obamacare for Republicans.
So much so that they acted like they had
barely hit a small speed bump when
Democrats voted unilaterally on Thursday to
weaken century-old Senate libuster rules
and make it harder for the GOP to block con-
rmation of President Barack Obamas nom-
inees.
Republican leader Mitch McConnell, with
his eyes on the political road ahead and a
GOP-damaging partial government shut-
down in the rearview mirror, chalked the
Senate shift up to broken promises, double
standards and raw power the same play-
book that got us Obamacare.
The calculation seems to be that there will
be time for Republicans to retaliate for the
Democratic maneuver that swept away gener-
ations of precedent in the tradition-bound
Senate. The change didnt eliminate l i-
busters, and a spirit of revenge actually may
give the GOP an incentive to launch them in
greater numbers.
But not now, when the health care law is
seen ever less favorably by the public, and
has dragged the presidents approval ratings
to the lowest levels of his time in the White
House.
Each time McConnell mentions the shift
in Senate procedure, hes tugged back to
health care.
Its basically the same debate, he said
Thursday, adding that Democrats are trying
to shift the publics attention away from the
presidents health care overhaul.
He singled out Sen. Jeff Merkley. If I
were a senator from Oregon, which hasnt
enrolled a single person yet for its
Obamacare exchange, I would probably
want to shift the focus, too, McConnell
said.
Merkley is one of several Democrats seek-
ing re-election next year who are so dis-
mayed by the administrations performance
on health care that they support legislation
to weaken a core concept of the program.
Asked about McConnells remarks, he con-
centrated on GOP libusters: Lets focus on
the reality the American people want this
institution to function.
The health care bill he supports, led by
Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, would
require insurance companies to continue
selling coverage permanently that is deemed
substandard under the health care law.
The short-term effect would be to reverse
millions of cancellations that insurance
companies have sent out to consumers in
recent weeks. Also, to permit the bills back-
ers to claim political credit for easing any
pain on constituents.
The longer-term consequence would likely
be higher costs for millions of consumers
seeking coverage that meets Obamacare
standards, because those customers on aver-
age are older, sicker, and more expensive to
insure than the group that would stay on
cheaper, less comprehensive plans.
Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado, also seeking
a new term next year, favors a two-year
requirement for insurance companies to
renew existing individual coverage.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire,
another Democrat whose name will be on the
ballot in 2014, favors a two-month delay in
the laws requirement for individuals to pur-
chase insurance or face a penalty. The exten-
sion could be longer if the healthcare.gov
website isnt fully functional by Dec. 1,
she said in a statement.
To GOP, all roads

PALO ALTO Despite strong warnings
from the U.S. State Department, hundreds of
Americans like the 85-year-old Korean War
veteran apparently being detained in North
Korea travel to the communist nation each
year. Many go as part of humanitarian
efforts or to nd long-lost relatives. Some,
like the war vet, simply want to see a closed
society shrouded in mystery.
In the case of Merrill Newman, an inveter-
ate traveler and long-retired nance execu-
tive from California, that desire was fueled
by the three years he spent as an infantry-
man during the Korean War six decades ago,
according to his son. North Korean ofcials
detained him at the end of a nine-day trip
last month as he sat in an airplane set to
leave the country, the son said.
We dont know what this misunderstand-
ing is all about, Jeffrey Newman told the
Associated Press as he awaited word on
reported efforts by the Swedish Embassy in
Pyongyang to secure his fathers release.
All we want as a family is to have my
father, my kids grandfather, returned to
California so he can be with his family for
Thanksgiving.
Speaking Thursday to
reporters in Beijing, U.S.
Special Representative
for North Korea Policy
Glyn Davies wouldnt
conrm Newmans deten-
tion but said, generally,
that U.S. officials were
working with Swedish
diplomats to try to move
this issue along and of
course calling on North
Korea ... to resolve the issue and to allow
our citizens to go free. Sweden acts as
Americas protecting power in North Korea
because Washington and Pyongyang dont
have ofcial diplomatic relations.
For the U.S. government to acknowledge
that someone is being held, a consular of-
cial must see the detainee and conrm the
identity. In this case, since Sweden is the
diplomatic intermediary for the U.S. in
North Korea, one of its ofcials needs to see
Newman.
The State Department this week revised its
travel warning for North Korea to advise all
U.S. citizens against going there, saying it
had received reports of authorities arbitrar-
ily detaining U.S. citizens and not allowing
them to depart the country.
Detention of U.S.tourists
to North Korea unusual

NEWYORK Aday after setting off an
uproar among travelers opposed to the idea
of in-flight phone calls, the chairman of
the Federal Communications Commission
Chairman backtracked, saying he person-
ally isnt in favor of calls on planes.
We understand that many passengers
would prefer that voice calls not be made
on airplanes. I feel that way myself, chair-
man Tom Wheeler said in a Friday state-
ment.
The role of the FCC, he added, is to
advise if there is a safety issue with using
phones on planes. Amending the agencys
rules will be only a technical advisory.
The decision to allow calls will ultimately
rest with the airlines, Wheeler emphasized.
Just three weeks into his job, Wheeler
struck a nerve with travelers Thursday when
he said it was time for the agency to review
our outdated and restrictive rules about
mobile services on airplanes. The rules
have been in place for 22 years. Atentative
agenda for the FCCs Dec. 12 meeting,
posted Thursday, listed the proposed revi-
sion. It was the first the public heard of the
change.
Wheeler seemingly underestimated the
public outrage and media attention that
such a move would generate.
It struck a nerve ... their phones have
been ringing, said Craig Aaron, president
of Free Press, a consumer advocacy group.
Its a lot of attention for an agency that
usually doesnt get that much attention.
By Friday afternoon, Wheelers language
was much more subdued. The new message:
The job of the FCC with respect to this
issue is limited to issues related to commu-
nications technology.
Wheeler emphasized that our proposal
does not impose any requirement that air-
lines should provide voice connectivity.
And to hammer home the point, the word
not was underlined.

DALLAS It was the same time,
12:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 22. It was
the same place, downtown Dallas.
But 50 years later, the thousands of
people who filled Dealey Plaza
werent there to cheer but to remem-
ber in quiet sadness the young, hand-
some president with whom Dallas
will always be linked in tragedy.
The solemn ceremony presided over
by Mayor Mike Rawlings was the
first time the city had organized an
official Kennedy anniversary event,
issuing 5,000 free tickets and erect-
ing a stage with video screens.
Somber remembrances extended
from Dallas to the shores of Cape
Cod, with moments of silence,
speeches by historians and, above
all, simple reverence for a time and a
leader long gone.
We watched the nightmarish reali-
ty in our front yard, Rawlings told
the crowd, which assembled just
steps from the Texas School Book
Depository building where Lee
Harvey Oswald fired from the sixth
floor at Kennedys open-top limou-
sine. Our president had been taken
from us, taken from his family, taken
from the world.
Two generations later, the assassi-
nation still stirs quiet sadness in the
baby boomers who remember it as the
beginning of a darker, more cynical
time.
A new era dawned and another
waned a half-century ago, when hope
and hatred collided right here in
Dallas, Rawlings told the crowd that
gathered under gray skies and in near-
freezing temperatures. The mayor
said the slaying prompted Dallas to
turn civic heartbreak into hard
work and helped the city mature into
a more tolerant, welcoming metropo-
l i s.
The slain president and our city
will forever be linked in tragedy,
yes, Rawlings said. But out of
tragedy, an opportunity was granted
to us: how to face the future when its
the darkest and uncertain.
Historian David McCullough said
Kennedy spoke to us in that now-
distant time past, with a vitality and
sense of purpose such as we had never
heard before.
Kennedy was young to be presi-
dent, but it didnt seem so if you were
younger still, McCullough added.
He was ambitious to make it a better
world, and so were we.

Wind energy company pleads guilty to eagle deaths
WASHINGTON The government for the rst time has
enforced environmental laws protecting birds against wind
energy facilities, winning a $1 million settlement Friday
from a power company that pleaded guilty to killing 14
eagles and 149 other birds at two Wyoming wind farms.
The Obama administration has championed pollution-free
wind power and used the same law against oil companies and
power companies for drowning and electrocuting birds. The
case against Duke Energy Corp. and its renewable energy arm
was the rst prosecuted under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
against a wind energy company.
In this plea agreement, Duke Energy Renewables
acknowledges that it constructed these wind projects in a
manner it knew beforehand would likely result in avian
deaths, Robert G. Dreher, acting assistant attorney general
for the Justice Departments Environment and Natural
Resources Division, said in a statement Friday.
Evolution debate again engulfs Texas Board of Ed
AUSTIN, Texas Long-simmering ideological objections
to teaching evolution in Texas boiled over at a late-night
meeting, as the Board of Education extended preliminary
approval of new science textbooks but held up one biology
tome because of alleged factual errors.
With midnight looming, some board members on Thursday
singled out a textbook by Pearson Education, one of
Americas largest publishers. They voiced questions about
the books assertions on natural selection, noting that the
theory of evolution is only part of the explanation for how
life developed on Earth.

Petes Harbor from an
environmental prospective
Editor,
The proposed residential communi-
ty at Petes Harbor will incorporate
Build It Green practices for energy
and water efciency, including recy-
cled water use for landscaping and toi-
let ushing. Their parking plan
includes electrical vehicle (EV) charg-
ing stations, bike and motorcycle
parking and spaces for a car-share
program.
Sea level rise is addressed with the
buildings having an elevation that
meets the projection for 2070 and
works toward an adaptive manage-
ment plan for how to deal with pro-
jected sea level rise all the way
through year 2100.
With its public paths, extension of
the Bay Trail, a new access point to
the San Francisco Bay Area Water
Trail, new landscaping and trees,
nature overlooks and a storm water
bio-ltration system, this will be a
vast improvement over the existing
site.
City-sponsored workshops and a
town hall have been held to gather
community members comments and
questions.
This residential development is an
example of a forward-thinking,
visionary project. Its right for the
times, the place and the people of
Redwood City. Its something that
Redwood City needs, and should be
supported.
The city should proceed with
approval as soon as possible.

Acting with strength in Iran
Editor,
I would go one step further than
your reader, Norman Licht, when it
comes to Iran (in his letter, Kerrys
bad Iran argument, in the Nov. 20
edition of the Daily Journal). Besides
the nuclear issue, we also have issues
with Iran supplying lethal weapons
to the Syrian government as well as
the two terrorist groups, Hamas and
Hezbollah. Iran wants to be treated
with respect and as a leader in the
Middle East.
As part of our dialogue with them,
we should insist that they cease arm-
ing terrorists and that they use their
inuence with Assad to end the vio-
lence in Syria.
This can only be done when we act
with strength. Kerry and Obama are
not doing this. Just as the health care
website was not ready for prime
time, the proposed agreement with
Iran was not ready to be discussed. It
was weak. It did not force Iran to
reverse its march toward nuclear
weapons, it only slowed it down.
That is not enough. The goal is
Iranian capitulation, so half-way
measures are a victory for them.

Road to education
Editor,
Perhaps if the plan for a hotel is
stalled or shelved, the three available
parcels in San Carlos on Industrial
Road could be considered for the cre-
ation and construction of a new state-
of-the-art high school for our city
(City may buy land for hotel: Cost
of three San Carlos parcels deemed
landmark properties is $13.7M in
the Nov. 22 edition of the Daily
Journal).
Maybe Oracle or another Silicon
Valley giant could participate in its
funding?
This unique opportunity could be a
rst of its kind, devoted to the knowl-
edge, usage and growth of new tech-
nology.
Music and art (including the per-
forming arts) could also be featured
programs. Viewing this possibility
as one that could set new standards for
future high school education would
truly benet the City of Good Living.

Letters to the editor

I
n a San Carlos City Council
meeting Nov. 12, we learned
again about housing in our San
Mateo County community. By a
stroke from the dais, the Transit
Village development was reduced from
four stories to three. In that moment,
the community completed an environ-
mental impact report and entitlement
process on this 8-acre site that had
considered at one time more than 400
apartments and ended up with about
230.
This process actually began more
than 10 years before, when there was
a meeting to discuss the future of San
Carlos downtown, specically Laurel
Street and El Camino Real. At that
time, folks were astonished to learn
that their sleepy commercial street of
one- and two-story buildings had a
height limit of 50 feet. People were
mentally craning their necks, look-
ing up at the possibility of four or
even ve stories.
At the Transit Village site, after an
eight-year conversation between the
property owner, SamTrans, candidate
developers, the selected developer and
then the ensuing
public dialogue
between the
Planning
Commission and
nally the City
Council, we lost
sight of our oppor-
tunity to house
working families
near transit. We lost the opportunity
to house families with children by
lowering building heights and mak-
ing apartments smaller. We lost our
way because in the heat of neighbor-
hood opposition to development of
this underutilized site, we forgot we
had a plan.
Up and down the Peninsula, commu-
nities have gathered to discuss the
facts. While we like a healthy econo-
my, we do not much care to house the
folks who represent economic success
here in our own cities. Right now and
for the next year, as we discuss our
Housing Elements and the sites we
will zone for more housing, we again
have a chance to plan for economic
sustainability by matching our job
creation success with housing growth
to accommodate employees. The issue
seems to be: Will we again make
plans and forget them in the heat of
debate? Will we disallow our cities to
grow while they are part of the grow-
ing nine-county Bay Area?
If a slow-growth, no-growth strate-
gy has protected our small-town quali-
ty of life for the last 30 years, is it
providing us the housing options our
families need now? Can such a no-
growth strategy brought down on
planning commissions and city coun-
cils by neighborhoods, in spite of
citywide consensus and planning,
deliver starter homes to our young
families, condominiums for our
empty-nester seniors and multi-fami-
ly apartments for our families
employed locally that have modest
incomes? Its time for a conversation.
Mark Moulton is the executive director
of the Housing Leadership Council of
San Mateo County.
Transit Villages lost opportunity
Obamacare is
a good thing
N
o. I am not delusional, nor have I changed my
views. I mean it. Obamacare is a good thing,
but not for your medical needs. It is a good
thing for your political needs. It should be used exten-
sively in 2014 and 2016, to remind all Americans exact-
ly whom the Democrats are and for what the president
stands.
There is a strategy that is a standard part of the
Democrats playbook: you can say whatever you want,
whenever you want. Just get elected. Worry about the
consequences later.
Recently, Democrat Terry McAuliffe used it in the gov-
ernors race in Virginia. In ad after ad, he played the role
of the crusader, looking out for the peoples interest. In
reality, he was in the proverbial smoke-filled back room
currying favor with the powerful interests he publicly
disclaimed. They in turn
financed his campaign.
Ken Cuccinelli, the attorney
general and Republican nomi-
nee, ran out of money and
could not defend himself. It
was still close. McAuliffe
pulled in just enough voters to
win thanks to an overwhelm-
ing advantage in campaign
advertising, most of it nega-
tive.
This is classic. McAuliffe ran
ads against special interests,
yet they were financing his
campaign all along, especially San Francisco billionaire
hedge fund manager Tom Steyer.
The success of this strategy depends on a compliant
press and the so-called low-information voter. They vote
but they are poorly informed. They do not read newspa-
pers, study the websites or watch the news shows. They
remain undecided until the day they vote. To reach them,
it is important to churn out as many campaign ads as
possible and that requires a financial advantage. In
Virginia, special interests swamped the funds spent by
Cuccinelli and his allies. No wonder McAuliffe won.
Anyone with enough money can easily sway the voter.
Agood example is the so-called war on women, in
which prominent feminists used this phrase to claim
Republicans restrict womens rights, especially repro-
ductive rights. Its a phony issue. It doesnt exist and
never existed, yet the Democrats have brayed loud and
long and their spending has allowed the term to be driv-
en into the publics mind.
This is, of course, rank hypocrisy and you will see it
in the next presidential election. Lloyd Blankfein of
Goldman Sachs has already announced he will back
Hillary Clintons run for president. She will use his
money to convince the public that her opponents, both
in the primaries and the general election, are the ones
backed by powerful financial interests. Of course, the
opposite is true.
Then, of course, there is the Presidential Lie. Obama
has lied, about Fast and Furious program running guns to
Mexican drug cartels, the politicization of the IRS and
its targeting of his opponents, the reasons for the attack
on Americans in Benghazi, our involvement in Syria and
the slumping economy all the while invoking
President Bush as frequently as possible.
The compliant press let him get away with these lies.
Obama counted on this happening with Obamacare but
the outcry has become too big. The press cannot avoid
the issue. The low-information voter perked up and paid
attention when they realized this would cost them dearly.
The outcry was huge. Now Obamas job approval dropped
to 37 percent and is still falling.
Obama said, If you like your plan, you can keep your
plan, 29 different times. Yet, he knew in 2010 this was
a lie. So far, in California, almost 1 million people have
lost their health insurance due to Obamacare regulations.
It was deliberate and well-planned. This shows a great
deal of contempt for the American people.
The Democrats are terrified. They see a revolt in next
years elections with their vulnerable officials being
swept away on a tide of voter anger. This is an issue with
a Republican future; that is why Obamacare may yet turn
out to be a good thing for America.

Big movers

The stock market brushed past
another milestone on Friday.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
closed above 1,800 for the rst time,
capping seven straight weeks of
gains.
The broader index is on track for its
best performance in 15 years as a com-
bination of solid corporate earnings, a
strengthening economy and easy-
money policies from the Federal
Reserve draw investors to stocks.
Stocks have also gained because they
offer an attractive alternative to
bonds, where interest rates remain
close to all-time lows.
You cant really get better returns
other than in the stock market, said
Peter Cardillo, chief market economist
at Rockwell Global Capital. Its been
a quality run-up in stocks.
The S&P 500 index rose 8.91
points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,804.76.
The index has advanced 26.5 percent
in 2013. If it nishes at that level, it
would be its strongest year since a
26.7 percent gain in 1998.
The Dow Jones industrial average
also continued its upward march after
nishing above 16,000 for the rst
time Thursday. The index gained 54.78
points, or 0.3 percent, to 16,064.77.
The Nasdaq composite rose 22.49
points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,991.65.
On Friday, health care stocks led the
markets rise. Biotechnology compa-
ny Biogen Idec surged on reports that
it won market exclusivity for its top-
selling multiple sclerosis drug in
Europe. The companys stock jumped
$33.19, or 13 percent, to $285.62.
Health care stocks have also led
gains in the S&P 500 this year, rising
38 percent. The industry is attractive
to investors. Some of its companies,
like Biogen Idec, offer the possibility
of explosive growth. Others are estab-
lished players like Pzer, which pays
big dividends. Health insurance com-
panies have also done well this year as
the Affordable Care Act rolls out.
Despite their big gains, stocks could
continue to rise. The economy is fore-
cast to keep recovering and that helps
companies increase their earnings.
And while stock valuations have risen,
they are still attractive compared with
bonds.
However, investors will likely have
to look harder to nd winning stocks
next year, said Paul Hogan, co-manag-
er of the FAM Equity-Income Fund.
Weve had the rising tide, but going
forward, its the stock pickers that will
tend to do better.
Among single stocks that have done
well this year, there are two standouts,
Netix and Best Buy.
Netix has surged 276 percent as the
video steaming service and DVD rental
company continues to add subscribers.
Best Buy has surged 232 percent as the
companys turnaround strategy
appears to be working after a tough
2012.
Still, there are also grounds for cau-
tion.
Given the strong gains this year,
stocks are no longer a bargain.
Im not pounding the table any-
more saying this is the cheapest U.S.
equity market in decades, said Andres
Garcia-Amaya, a global market strate-
gist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
While investors shouldnt necessari-
ly sell, they should temper their
expectations for the level of returns,
he said.
The price-earnings ratio of S&P 500
companies, a measure of how much
investors are willing to pay for a stock
in relation to its earnings, has climbed
to 14.9 from 12.6 at the start of the
year.
Also, the rally in stocks is getting
long in the tooth. The S&P 500 has
surged more than 160 percent, since
the bull market for stocks began 56
months ago in March, 2009. Since
the Great Depression, the average bull
market for stocks has lasted 57
months.
Investors will also have to deal with
the end of the Feds stimulus program,
possibly this year.

DETROIT The leader of upstart
automaker Tesla Motors is condent that its
Model S car is safe and will be cleared by a
federal investigation into two battery res.
CEO Elon Musk said the fires, which
occurred when metal road debris pierced the
underbody of the cars at highway speeds, are
extreme cases. He doesnt expect a recall
and said his engineers are not working on
any xes for the battery-powered cars.
In both cases it was a large piece of metal
essentially braced against the tarmac,
Musk said in an interview Friday with the
Associated Press.
No one was hurt in the res, which hap-
pened along freeways near Seattle and
Nashville, Tenn. starting Oct. 1. Another
re happened in Mexico after the driver ran
through a concrete wall at more than 100
mph.
Musk said no one has ever been hurt in a
Model S crash, which shows theres no safe-
ty problem for drivers or passengers. The
only other reason to investigate is econom-
ic loss from the res, but thats not an issue
because Tesla amended its warranty to cover
re loss in crashes, Musk said.
Im not saying it cant happen again,
he said. Im saying in any kind of low-
speed impact, youre ne. Any car, Model S
or not Model S, the underside is going to
get signicantly damaged if you drive over
a large metal object.
Musk described the weeks since the res
as torture. He said the crashes have
received an unreasonable amount of media
attention given that no one was injured. He
understands that a new technology such as
electric cars will get more scrutiny, but
not to the insane degree that were receiv-
ing.
Teslas stock price has dropped by 37 per-
cent since the rst re. Some investors and
analysts also were disappointed by the
companys third-quarter results.
But Musk said the stocks value, which
earlier in the year had risen 470 percent to
$194.50, got too high and the market is
correcting it.
Tesla CEO expects feds to clear Model S in fires
Energy loses $139M
on loan to electric car maker
WASHINGTON The Energy
Department says it will lose $139 mil-
lion on a loan to struggling electric car
maker Fisker Automotive Inc.
The government sold the loan for
$25 million Friday to Hybrid
Technology LLC, a holding company
that plans to keep the California car-
maker operating.
The $139 million loss is the largest
in the Obama administrations green
energy loan program since the 2011
failure of solar panel maker Solyndra.
The government lost $528 million in
the Solyndra collapse, triggering
sharp Republican criticism.
The Energy Department awarded
Fisker a half-billion loan guarantee in
2009, but suspended it in 2011, after
Fisker failed to meet a series of federal
benchmarks. Fisker had received $192
million before the loan was frozen.
Intel shares drop
after 2014 forecast
Intel Corp. shares are dropping on
the chipmakers disappointing fore-
cast for 2014.
The company, which has been strug-
gling with the negative impact from
weak PC sales, said Thursday at an ana-
lyst day that it is trying to reposition
itself to sell products for a broad range
of devices. But it expects its revenue
for 2014 will be nearly unchanged
from this year.
Based on Intels revenue for the rst
nine months of the year and its fore-
cast for the fourth quarter, it will gen-
erate revenue of roughly $52.6 billion
in 2013. Analysts polled by FactSet
had forecast sales of $53.65 billion
for 2014.

The Terra Nova football team went 10-0
during the regular season, captured its fth-
straight Peninsula Athletic League title and
earned the top seed in the Central Coast
Section Open Division tournament.
As coach Bill Gray told his players, this
was the best football team Terra Nova had
ever put on the eld.
And what did the Tigers get for all their
accomplishments? Another beat down by a
West Catholic Athletic League team in the
rst round of the playoffs.
For the third year in a row, the Tigers were
eliminated by a team from the strongest
league in the section. This time it was
Valley Christian that did the honors, shut-
ting down the Terra Nova offense and wear-
ing the Tigers down defensively for a 26-7
victory.
Seeded No. 1, No. 8 or anywhere between,
the Tigers and to a greater extent, the PAL
just do not have the repower to compete
in the Open Division against WCAL
schools. The Tigers were held to season-low
totals across the board offensively. The
seven points scored were a season low
they averaged 45 in their previous 10
games. They were limited to 151 yards of
total offense they averaged 501.
Quarterback Anthony Gordon was held to
just 147 yards passing he came into the
game averaging 337.
Give Valley Christian credit, Gray said.
Their offensive front and defensive front
were unlike anything weve seen all season
long.
Conversely, Valley Christian racked up
430 yards of offense, 391 of which came on
the ground and the Warriors did it with-
out the services of their best running back,
Kirk Johnson, who sat out with an injury.
No matter. Mark Quinby picked up the

While the Central Coast Section football
nals are still two weeks away, Saturday is the
biggest day of the fall season as CCS will
crown ve volleyball and four water polo
champions.
And several San Mateo County teams are in
the running to snatch one of those champi-
onship plaques.
Once again, the town of Atherton will vie for
the title of the water polo capital of CCS as four
teams are playing in three of the championship
matches Saturday at the Santa Clara
International Swim Center. The Menlo-
Atherton boys, the No. 3 seed in the Division I
tournament, are riding high after knocking off
nemesis and No. 2 seed St. Francis in the semi-
nals. The Bears rallied from a 6-4, fourth-quar-
ter decit to beat the Lancers in overtime.
The task to win their rst CCS title since
2007 doesnt get any easier for the Bears, how-
ever, as they face West Catholic Athletic League
powerhouse and top-seeded Bellarmine at 2:30
p.m. The Bells have won two straight Division
I titles and 24 championships overall.
Atherton is guaranteed at least one champion
as rivals Menlo School and Sacred Heart Prep
meet in the Division II boysnal beginning at
10 a.m. They are the top two seeds in the tour-
nament SHP is No. 1 and Menlo No. 2
and have been on a collision course all season
as clearly the top two teams in the division.
This will be the eighth time since 2003 these
two have met for the crown, with Menlo hold-
ing a 4-3 advantage in championship games.
The last time they faced each other with a CCS
championship on the line was 2010, when the
Knights came away with an 11-5 win.
Sacred Heart Prep, however, is the two-time
defending Division champion, having beaten
Los Altos the last two seasons.

Burlingame running back Manase Palu
paced up and down his teams sideline during
the early quarters of their Central Coast
Section quarternal matchup against
Hillsdale.
And every time he opened his mouth, the
message was simple: Wake up.
It took the No. 1 seeded Panthers two quar-
ters and a halftime break to listen to their cap-
tains pleas. Behind a more spirited second-
half effort, No. 1 Burlingame beat No. 8
Hillsdale 31-7 to advance into the CCS
Division III seminals next Friday when
theyll play the WCALs St. Ignatius.
Until that third quarter, its safe to say the
Knights had the momentum and the advantage
on the stat sheet, even through the Panthers
led 10-7 at recess.
But behind Keone Keahis two touchdowns
in the second half, the Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division champions ended the
Lake champions season.
The defense kept us in the game, said
Burlingame head coach John Philipopoulos.
We came out and the offense sputtered a little
bit. I dont even know that it was the offense
sputtering or just a great job by the Hillsdale
coaching staff with the game plan and execu-
tion by their players. So, the defense kept us
in the game. At halftime, we just preached
being patient.
I think that they did a good job on defense
in the rst half, Keahi said. We came out at
again. We couldnt move the ball effectively.
But defense has been our backbone all year and
we stepped up. We had to rely on the defense in
the rst half. At halftime, we talked about
coming out harder and executing. And thats
what we did.

WASHINGTON Three-and-out.
Three-and-out. Three-and-out.
Short of turning the ball over, its
probably the worst scenario for a
teams offense as well as a
defense that keeps having to walk
back onto the eld after a shorter-
than-expected rest.
Just ask Colin Kaepernick and the
San Francisco 49ers, who have run
the obligatory three plays and punt-
ed ve times in each of their last
two games, a one-point loss to the
Carolina Panthers and a three-point
defeat to the New Orleans Saints.
When youre on the sideline, of
course theres frustration, 49ers
cornerback Carlos Rogers said.
Youre sitting back there asking
whats going on. You know, Move
the ball, put some points on the
board, especial-
ly if youre
playing real
good on
defense.
Rogers then
went out of his
way to say there
isnt an offense-
defense divide
on the team,
that each side
has the others back, and that there
will no doubt be days with the feel-
ings are reversed.
Theres going to be some weeks
where teams are going to score on
us and put up points, Rogers said.
And the offense is going to be
wondering, Why we arent getting
three-and-outs. Why we arent shut-
ting people down? . Theyll get it
together. Theyve got good play-
ers, a good coaching staff and have
more players coming back. Well
nd a way.
Kaepernick and the 49ers (6-4)
will hope to nd their way Monday
night against the Washington
Redskins (3-7). Forget, at least for
now, trying to win the NFC West
San Francisco needs to stop the
slide to keep pace in a crowded wild-
card race.
The 49ers have gone three-and-
out on 28.9 percent of their posses-
sions this season, the fourth-worst
percentage in the NFL, offering
more evidence how defenses have
adjusted to zone-read quarterbacks
such as Kaepernick and the
Redskins Robert Grifn III. Last
year, those two looked poised to
change the NFL; this year, both are
proof that its hard to make an NFL
living on zone-read and play-action
alone.
Kaepernicks passer rating is
down 16 points from 2012, and
Grifn III has dropped 18 points.
Defenses have taken different
approaches, with 49ers opponents
crowding the line and daring
Kaepernick to throw. Redskins foes
are nding success by playing back
and making Grifn do something
hes never had to do on a regular
basis work through his progres-
sions to nd an open receiver.
Defenses are doing a great job
on us, game-planning for us, 49ers
running back Frank Gore said.
Weve been doing great on the run-
ning game, so everybodys going
to try to stop the run.
When the prime-time schedule
was announced in the spring, 49ers-
Redskins featuring Kaepernick-
Grifn looked like a no-brainer.
Both players are still dynamic
enough to make for compelling
viewing, but Kaepernick hasnt
thrown for more than 200 yards
since mid-October. Grifn already
has thrown twice as many intercep-
tions as he did all of last season.
I think he feels very natural with
the zone-read and some of the play-
actions off of it, Washington
coach Mike Shanahan said of
Grifn. Some of the drop-back
passing attack will take a little
time.
But hes so sharp at picking
things up. He can make any throw.
Not many people have that ability
to do that. The great part about it is
the skys the limit for him in the
future. There is going to be some
growing pains. Its not going to be
automatic. We didnt expect it to be
automatic. But there will be growth
in what we do with him as time goes
on, and I think hell keep on get-
ting better and better.
49ers try to break 3-and-out rut vs. Redskins
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA One of the byprod-
ucts of quarterback Matt McGloins
rise to the top of Oaklands depth
chart last week was the production
of rookie tight end Mychal Rivera.
One of the teams four picks in
the sixth round of this years draft,
Rivera had gone mostly unnoticed
through the Raiders first nine
games before catching a season-
high ve passes, including a go-
ahead 26-yard touchdown, in a 28-
23 win over the Houston Texans.
Rivera called it his moment of
arrival in the NFL, though the 6-
foot-3, 245-pound former
Tennessee star is quick to acknowl-
edge hes still in the infancy of his
development.
You always want to make plays,
thats what you come into the game
to do, Rivera said Friday. But you
also have to realize those plays
come in many ways. Those plays
can come in a backside block, a
touchdown pass. Those plays can
also be just helping out the guy
next to you and doing what you
need to do. Thats what a real play-
maker needs to do.
Until last week, the Raiders had-
nt gotten many plays at all out of
their tight ends. Acombination of
things has played into it.
Oaklands offensive line has
been battered all season and has
needed the extra blocking support
from the tight ends. Oakland has
also used three different starting
quarterbacks this year.
At his current pace, Rivera will
nish with just 37 receptions
fewer than half the total made in
2012 by then-Raiders tight end
Brandon Myers.
I think Mychal Riveras done a
nice job, Oakland coach Dennis
Allen said. He understands the
passing game. Obviously, hes a
rookie so he still makes mistake
but every week Ive seen him con-
tinue to get better, so Im pleased
with where hes at.
Still, the drop-off in tight end
production is a huge departure from
what Oakland is used to getting
from that position.
Since 2006, tight ends have led
the Raiders in receptions four
times, including Myers who caught
79 passes last season before sign-
ing with the New York Giants as a
free agent in the offseason. When
Myers left, it created a void
Oakland tried to ll by drafting
Rivera and signing veteran Jeron
Mastrud.
Mastrud has started seven games
this season but has been used pri-
marily as a blocker while Rivera
has caught 23 of the 32 passes
thrown his way this season.
I just want to build every week,
said Rivera, who has two touch-
downs receptions. Last game I had
ve catches. Im going to try to get
seven catches this game. You
always want to build on what you
did last week, and I know I can do
better than what I did last week.
And next week Im going to be say-
ing the same thing.

LOS ANGELES Pau Gasol had 24 points
and 10 rebounds, Nick Young scored 14 of
his 21 points in the second half, and the Los
Angeles Lakers took advantage of Stephen
Currys absence for a 102-95 victory over
the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.
Jordan Farmar and Steve Blake scored 14
points apiece for the Lakers, who returned
from four days off to win consecutive games
for the rst time all season.
David Lee had 21 points and 13 rebounds,
and Harrison Barnes scored 20 points in the
Warriors second straight loss without
Curry, who missed both games with a con-
cussion.
Andre Iguodala, who replaced Curry as the
Warriors point guard, had six points and six
assists before limping to the locker room in
the third quarter with a strained left ham-
string.
Klay Thompson scored just two of his 19
points in the fourth quarter for Golden State,
which struggled to nd an offensive ow in
Currys absence. The Lakers calmly main-
tained a big lead throughout the fourth quar-
ter of their 11th straight home win over
their upstate rivals since March 2008.
Jordan Hill added 10 points and nine
rebounds for the Lakers, while Gasol had a
big offensive game at a particularly oppor-
tune time. The Spanish 7-footer pledged
$1,000 for every point he scored against the
Warriors to UNICEF disaster relief in the
Philippines.
Barnes made his third start of the season
in Currys absence, with Iguodala moving
over to be Golden States offensive play-
maker. Andrew Bogut added 12 points and 13
rebounds.
Curry banged his head on the court
Monday at Utah, forcing him out of
Wednesdays game against Memphis and
this contest. The fth-year star is averaging
nearly 20 points per game and is fourth in
the NBA in assists, forcing Golden State to
make signicant changes to its offense in
the absence of his playmaking and 3-point
shooting.
The Lakers know all about injury
absences: Kobe Bryant still hasnt played
since tearing his Achilles tendon during
Golden States last visit to Staples Center in
April, while Steve Nash is out for at least
another week with nerve root irritation.
While Bryant returned to practice with his
teammates this week, he wasnt quite ready
to begin his 18th NBA season against the
team he was facing when his 17th season
ended. The Lakers host Sacramento on
Sunday night before heading out on a three-
game East Coast road trip.
While Youngs second-half offensive
burst propelled his team, the Lakers also had
one of their better defensive games of the
young season, holding the prolic Warriors
well under the 103.8 points-per-game aver-
age put up by Los Angeles opponents so far
this season.
The Lakers took their first lead on
Farmars 3-pointer right before the rst-
quarter buzzer, and they stretched the advan-
tage to 55-46 at halftime with a late 13-5
run. Gasol was effective inside and out while
scoring 16 points, and Blake hit two of the
Lakers ve 3-pointers.
Los Angeles then scored the final 12
points of the third quarter after Golden State
tied it, with Young hitting a pirouette 3-
pointer to cap the rally. The Lakers held the
Warriors without a point for more than ve

Gasol, Young propel
Lakers past Warriors
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
From the on-screen score box to high-def-
inition telecasts to the yellow rst-down
line, innovation has become a huge part of
NFL viewing. Its about to take the next
step.
Microsoft, which entered a five-year,
$400 million deal with the NFL in May, on
Friday launched Xbox One, which will pro-
vide fans with pretty much everything but
snacks as they watch the action.
The idea for the device is to take the infor-
mation viewers consume on second and
third screens, from checking on their fanta-
sy teams to devouring stats and chatting
with friends, and put it all on the main
screen in their home.
Our vision for Xbox One is to enable a
new level of interactive entertainment that
makes your games, TV, movies, and sports
come alive, says Yusuf Mehdi, Xbox chief
marketing and strategy ofcer. Our partner-
ship with the NFL is in support of creating
the most compelling NFL experience in
your home on Xbox One and on the side line
with Microsoft Surface.
Soon, NFL coaching staffs will be able to
use the Surface tablet for game-planning.
For consumers, you can now snap the
NFL experience on your TV screen next to
live games so you can track your fantasy
players stats while you watch the game,
Mehdi says. On the sideline, we aim to
bring the power of Microsoft technology to
coaches and players to help them view
plays and improve the game.
Quarterback Russell Wilson usually is too
busy on Sundays leading his Seahawks to
dive into all the technology available for
the armchair QBs around the nation. But he
sees the value in what Xbox One offers,
from live game action to stats and news and
Skype or Snap, all of which are available on
the single screen.
Most people these days watch the NFL
on TV, while also having a laptop or phone
handy to check on their fantasy football
teams and other games, Wilson says. The
NFL on Xbox One changes all of that by
bringing all that information onto one
screen, with stats updating in real time.
I dont have much time to play fantasy
football, but I know plenty of friends and
fans who will love how the NFL on Xbox
One. This app will help them keep up with
their teams on game day with real-time
updates and highlights available right
beside the game youre watching on televi-
sion.
Available along with live game telecasts
will be NFL RedZone and NFL Network;
Snap, through which fantasy teams can be
tracked while still watching the game on the
screen; and Skype for, well, trash-talking
with folks at the other end. Roughly 20 mil-
lion Americans play fantasy football.
These new consoles are really advanced,
and the integration of the new user inter-
faces and experiences, such as the NFL and
ESPN on Xbox, will bring a totally new
type of sport experience to the console,
says Brian Blau, research director in con-
sumer technologies at Gartner, Inc., an
information technology research and advi-
sory company in Stamford, Conn.
Today for the sports fan they have to
bring together a PC, mobile device, and
maybe have multiple devices to get the
same type of experience that the new sports
experiences on Xbox will deliver. Imagine
being able to watch a game, get sports stats,
be social about it, and even during the
breaks then go off and play a sport video
game, all of this will be new types of expe-
riences and user interfaces for the sports
fan.
The NFL on Xbox One requires advanced
TV hardware, broadband internet, and spe-
cial accounts with n.com and Xbox.
Today what you are seeing in terms of the
NFL and ESPN Xbox One apps is really just
the start, Blau says.
Can all of this become too much, too dis-
tracting from the product itself: the game.
I dont think so at all, Wilson says. If
anything, many fans, especially those that
play fantasy football, are already distracted
by checking updates on the laptops and
phones. The NFL on Xbox One puts all the
information fans care about most together
on the (same) screen in your home.

All big league ballparks
to screen fans in 2014
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Baseball fans should
expect to go through a metal detector to see
their favorite team play in 2014.
Major League Baseball security director John
Skinner said on Friday that all 30 teams are
expected to screen all fans entering their ball-
parks next season. Some aspects of the screen-
ing will be left to individual teams, but the com-
missioners ofce is planning to recommend
walk-through metal detectors, he said.
Its the reality, unfortunately, of this world,
Skinner said at the Ivy Sports Symposium at the
Harvard Law School. Ultimately, it will hap-
pen.
Skinner made the comments during on a panel
called Preparing for the Worst: Crisis
Management. Among the other panelists was
Tom Grilk, the executive director of the Boston
Athletic Association, which organizes the
Boston Marathon.
Three people were killed and more than 260
wounded in April when two bombs were set off
at the nish line in April. Since then, most
sporting events and facilities have increased
security, with the NFL limiting fans attending
regular-season games this year to a single, see-
through bag for their belongings.
In Boston, the bombings led to an increase in
security at sporting events that included check-
ing all cars entering the garage under the TD
Garden, the home of the Bruins and Celtics.
Many of the more visible measures were eventu-
ally dropped and there were no further terror
incidents; a large contingent of law enforce-
ment was out on the night the Red Sox clinched
the World Series, and police said they arrested
nine people for unruly behavior during the cele-
bration.
Skinner told The Associated Press after the
panel that baseball will be making a presenta-
tion to its teams at the winter meetings in
December in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Asked for
more details, MLB spokesman Michael Teevan
said the plans are still developing.
We have been reviewing our security proce-
dures for many months and we will issue a secu-
rity bulletin in 2014 that will include practices
and procedures that are responsive to the new
security environment, Teevan said in an email.
Fan screening will be one of the subjects
addressed. We are continuing to consult with our
clubs, our experts and the Department of
Homeland Security, and we expect to announce
specic changes after some further off-season
meetings.

MACAU Robert Garcia, the
trainer of Brandon Rios, said Friday
that Manny Pacquiao is showing
signs of coming to the end of his
career and vulnerable in the WBO
welterweight title ght.
Pacquiao is coming off two losses
and has not fought since his devas-
tating knockout defeat at the hands
of Juan Manuel Marquez almost a
year ago. Garcia said hes noticed
subtle signs of decline in the
Filipino boxer, once considered the
best pound-for-pound ghter in the
world.
Everybodys end comes someday
and it could be this ght, Garcia
said. He does have a lot to lose in
this ght, and thats pressure not
only for him but his trainer and
everybody in his camp.
There are things Ive seen in his
last two ghts that maybe a lot of
people who havent fought dont see.
I went through those things and I
already see them ... Alot of ghters
go through the same things, they
dont even tell their wives, but I can
see it in him.
Pacquiaos trainer Freddie Roach
bristled when told of Garcias com-
ments. There has been no love lost
between the two camps since a phys-
ical altercation between them in the
training gym on Wednesday.
When does he watch my guy?
Does he see my guy train every day,
does he see the sacrices my guy
goes through, does he see the road-
work we do every day? Roach said.
If Manny shows any sign of slip-
page in training camp Id be the rst
to tell him its time to quit, and its
not time yet for sure. I hope they are
overcondent because Manny is
going to destroy this guy.
The undercard for the ght at The
Venetian casino in Macau begins
Saturday night, followed by the main
event about 3 hours later. It begins
early Sunday local time.
Pacquiaos contentious points loss
to Timothy Bradley, followed by his
frightening knockout against
Marquez had raised questions about
whether he could ever get back to his
top form, with Garcia among the
doubters.
The Manny of three, four years
before should have beaten Bradley,
Garcia said. Marquez is 40 years old
and Pacquiao was supposed to beat
him, to knock him out. Pacquiao got
tired and he got knocked out, it
wouldnt have happened three or four
years ago. He hasnt dropped any-
body since 2009.
Roach acknowledged Pacquiaos
recent failure to knock out oppo-
nents dating back to his victory
over Miguel Cotto in 2009 but
said the Filipino ghter was eager to
do so as way of announcing his
return to the peak of the sport.
He could have knocked out a cou-
ple of guys since then, but his com-
passion got in his way, Roach said.
Coming off two losses, he knows
he has to be impressive, and being
impressive is not winning by close
decision, being impressive is win-
ning by knockout.

ST. LOUIS Former World Series MVP David Freese was
traded from his hometown St. Louis Cardinals to the Los
Angeles Angels in a four-player deal Friday that reunites
Albert Pujols with a pair of ex-teammates.
St. Louis obtained a new starting center elder in Peter
Bourjos plus prospect Randal Grichuk, and the Cardinals
also sent reliever Fernando Salas to the Angels.
Overall, we just felt this was a very compelling deal to
make, general manager John Mozeliak said.
Freeses departure did not come as a surprise.
The 30-year-old was the MVP of the 2011 NL champi-
onship series and the World Series, setting a major league
record with 21 postseason RBIs and hitting a game-ending,
11th-inning home run in Game 6. He injured his back chas-
ing a foul ball into the stands during spring training this
year and never hit stride.
David, growing up in St. Louis, this could not have been
the easiest place to play, Mozeliak said. I do think he may
be looking forward to a fresh start. This was not an easy year
for him.
Freese batted .262 with nine homers and 60 RBIs, dropoffs
from career bests of 20 homers, 79 RBIs and a .293 average
the previous year. Freese made $3.15 million and is eligible
for salary arbitration.
The Angels were a match because they need a third baseman
and Freese didnt gure as the long-term solution at third for
St. Louis.

slack by rumbling for 168 yards on 24 carries.
Tre McCloud also had a big game. He scored all
three of Valley Christians touchdowns and n-
ished with 87 yards on 25 carries.
Gray wasnt surprised by their production.
What caught him and the Tigers off guard was
the play of the Warriors two fullbacks: Jesse
Osuna and Travis Tuitele, who combined for 135
yards on 11 carries.
Running the fullback, they havent done
that, Gray said. They were smart with their
play calls.
Terra Nova hung with Valley Christian for a
half. It was a defensive, eld-position battle in
the rst two quarters as neither team could
muster much early in the game. The Tigers went
on a lengthy drive midway through the opening
quarter, but they turned the ball over on downs at
the Valley Christian 30.
The Tigers defense, which was solid for a
majority of the game, forced the Warriors to
punt on their ensuing drive and Terra Nova nal-
ly found the lightning strike that had been the
Tigers calling card all season. On second-and-5
from his own 46, Gordon dropped back and
found Jaylend Jones breaking open downeld.
Jones ran away from the defense, made the over-
the-shoulder catch and sped into the end zone for
a 54-yard score and a 7-0 Terra Nova lead with
2:51 to play in the rst quarter.
That appeared to wake up the Valley Christian
offense as it proceeded to drive from its own 20
to the Tigers22 before fumbling the ball away.
Terra Nova could do nothing with it and after a
punt, the Tigers defense forced the Warriors to
line up for their third punt of the half.
What happened next should have been an
omen for Terra Nova. Nick Pierotti came off the
left end and smothered the punt off the punters
foot. The ball hit the ground and bounced right
back up into the punters hands who hap-
pened to be Quinby who then motored 28
yards for the rst down to keep the drive alive.
Maybe if we recover that ball, maybe we go
in and score and it might be different, Gray
said.
Instead, the Warriors continued their march.
They eventually had rst-and-goal and the Terra
Nova 5. After being stuffed on three plays, the
Warriors faced fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard
line with four seconds left in the half.
Terra Nova couldnt make a fourth stop and
McCloud barely broke the plane to tie the score
at 7 at halftime to cap a 72-yard, 14-play, 7-
minute, 35-second drive.
Valley Christian took the second-half kickoff
and methodically drove 79 yards on 11 plays.
McCloud barreled in from a yard out again to the
Warriors a 14-7 lead and one could sense the
momentum shift.
The Warriors then turned it up a notch defen-
sively. Terra Nova ran just 10 plays in the sec-
ond half one of which was a one-play drive
that ended with Valley Christian recording a
safety.
Terra Novas best scoring chance in the sec-
ond half came on its rst drive of the third quar-
ter, as the Tigers moved from their own 26 to the
Valley Christian 20. An illegal-man-downeld
penalty cost the Tigers ve yards and then back-
to-back sacks forced them to punt.
That would be as close as the Tigers would get
to the end zone in the second half.
The Warriors, meanwhile, slowly but surely
started to wear down the Terra Nova defense. Of
their 430 yards, 263 came in the third and fourth
quarters as the Warriors ran 35 plays in the sec-
ond half.
We were concerned they might be able to do
that, Gray said.
Even when the Tigers had the Warriors in a
third-and-long situation, more often than not,
they picked up the rst down. Valley Christian
completed only three passes, but all three of
them came on third downs and all three resulted
in a fresh set of downs.
Our goal was to create third and long and
they threw the ball better and more efciently
than they had all year, Gray said.
Valley Christian tacked on a 30-yard eld on
its second drive of the second half and McCloud
scored his third touchdown of the game on the
Warriorsthird drive. The safety with 6:31 left to
play was the nal nail in the cofn for the Terra
Nova 2013 football season.
You saw [their] size make a difference as the
game went along, Gray said. Its an athletic
mismatch.

In the girls Division II nal, the only guar-
antee is that the Gators will win. Top-seeded
Sacred Heart Prep faces off against No. 3
Castilleja with the match scheduled for an
11:30 a.m. start. Both schools mascot is a
gator.
SHPis the six-time defending champion and
have been in the title match seven straight
years.
If not for SHPs dominance, Castilleja might
have a couple CCS titles on its resume. The two
have faced off twice in the nals, in 2008 and
2010. Castilleja put a scare into SHP in 2008,
with SHP escaping in a 5-4 victory. Two years
later, it was a clear-cut victory for SHP, 12-4.
Several miles from the Santa Clara
International Swim Center, the CCS volleyball
nals will be held at Independence High School
in San Jose. There, Menlo School will go for
its eighth title in program history in Division
IV. In the Division V nals, Crystal Springs
Uplands School is looking for a second title,
while Priory looks to defend its title.
While the WCALgets a bulk of the accolades
when it comes to volleyball in the higher divi-
sions, youd be hard pressed to nd a more dom-
inant league than the West Bay Athletic League
in divisions IVand V. Menlo, Crystal Springs
and Priory all come out of that league and the
WBALhas won 11 titles since 2003.
Menlo, the top seed in Division IV, faces off
against No. 3 Soquel beginning at 12:30 p.m.
Menlo is looking for its rst title since 2008,
while Soquel is in search for its second crown in
three years, having knocked off Sacred Heart
Prep in the 2011 Division IVnal.
The Division V championship match fea-
tures a second-seeded Priory squad facing off
against No. 3 Crystal Springs. Priory is a four-
time CCS champion. Last year snapped an 11-
year drought between CCS titles for Priory,
while the Gryphons are looking for their sec-
ond title since 2010.

Our mistakes caught up to us, said Hillsdale
head coach Mike Parodi. Both my play call-
ing, little things. Playing one of the best teams
weve played all year, you cant get away with
some of the things we were doing. From me
down. Against quality teams like Burlingame, it
just catches up to you.
The rst half couldnt have gone much better
for Hillsdale. Sure, they were down 10-7, but it
was evident the Knights managed to shock the
Panthers, who came in at 10-0.
Two mistakes cost the Knights in that rst
half. First, a botched snap gave Burlingame a
very short eld to begin the game. With 1st-
and-10 at the Hillsdale 11-yard line, the
Panthers, in a sign of things to come in the rst
half, only managed seven yard. That set up a 21-
yard eld goal that put Burlingame up 3-0.
Hillsdale went on a long drive (13 plays)
without a point and then, when they got the ball
back, threw an interception that Liam Martinez
turned into a 65-yard pick-6 with 2:28 left in the
rst quarter that made the score 10-0.
But that was it was Burlingame. The much-
heralded Panthers offense put up 38 total yards
on Hillsdale in that rst half. Hillsdale went for
130 and with 7:50 left in the half, got a 1-yard
touchdown by Giancarlo Boscacci to make it
10-7 and send a chill down the collective spine
of the Panther Faithful.
I was nervous, Philipopoulos said.
Hillsdale had all the momentum. You could see
the hop in their step. I think we were a little
stung. But we told the kids, thats a good team,
a well-coached team and theyre not going to
lay down for anybody. They did an outstanding
job. It was just a few adjustments with our
blocking schemes. They did a great job taking
away our sweeps and our off-tackle stuff which is
one of the strengths of our team so we had to
adjust
It took Burlingame two offensive drives to
get the spark they needed and eventually pull
away. After stopping the Knights on their ini-
tial second-half drive, the Panthers marched
down the eld 54 yards and built the lead to 10
points following a 31-yard touchdown run by
Keahi.
Then, Hillsdale gambled on a 4th-and-2 deep
in its own territory and failed, setting up a short
eld for Burlingame. The Panthers capitalized,
using nine plays to travel 28 yards and seize
control on a 4-yard Palu touchdown.
I just had the condence in our kids that were
going to make it, Parodi said of his fourth-
down call. I told them all along, fourth and
short means time to go. HIndsight is always
20/20, but I felt like we were moving the ball
and tried to get the sticks moved.
We made some small adjustments with our
blocking and our play-calling and it paid off,
Philipopoulos said. His coaching staffs moves
showed up on the scoreboard and stat sheet.
After a 38-yard rst half, Burlingame put up 127
in the third quarter alone.
The Panthers iced the game on defense when
Tommy Dryden sacked Cole Carrithers, forcing
a fumble his team recovered to begin the fourth
quarter. Keahi added his second touchdown with
3:17 left in the game for the nal outcome.
Coach said, Play with heart, Keahi said.
And I told the guys we have to leave it all on
the eld. I tried to run as hard as I can on each
play.
Hillsdale ends its 2013 season with a 7-4
record and its rst PAL Lake Division champi-
onship since 2009 and only its third since
1991.
As a coaching staff, we can only do so much.
At some point, these kids do know its their
team. I run the program, they run the team, kind
of. And its up to them to be the heart and soul of
it and this senior group was phenomenal. Im
going to miss them, Parodi said.
In other CCS Division IV action, No. 4
Menlo School, without quarterback Jack
Heneghan, could only muster 12 points and lost
to No. 5 Monterey. The Knights end their 2013
season by 6-5.
No. 7 Aragon fell behind early to No. 2 Aptos
in Division III and could not rebound. The Dons
fell to the Mariners 34-19.
And in Division II, No. 3 Menlo-Atherton
scored 14 rst-half points and added a fourth-
quarter touchdown to beat No. 6 Oak Grove 21-
6. The Bears will face No. 2 Los Gatos next
week.

Square 15-acre site is being finalized.
Residential and retail space has been pro-
posed to ll the long-vacant land next to
City Hall. The city needs to think critically
about what long-term nancial returns it can
expect to receive, he said.
If its the only piece of property we have
left to sell, we want to make sure were cap-
italizing on it from a revenue standpoint,
Pollard said.
As residents of Foster City begin to retire
and hopefully take advantage of the upcom-
ing senior housing development, proper-
ties will turn up on the market. However, the
city cant function on property taxes alone,
so retail opportunities need to be further
investigated and expanded, Pollard said.
With competing Hillsdale and
Bridgepointe shopping centers in San
Mateo, Foster City needs to nd a niche
market that will allow them to offer servic-
es consumers cant find at neighboring
retail centers, Pollard said.
We need something compelling to make
people come in and that those that are
already here stay here. But nding some-
thing for everybody is a tough challenge,
Pollard said.
One way to encourage people to frequent
the city and support its retail facilities is to
invest in its recreational opportunities,
Pollard said.
The park system we have is a fabric of
Foster City and I want to make sure we main-
tain our parks. I want to make sure were on
the cutting edge of recreation, Pollard said.
Not many cities in the Peninsula are bor-
dered against the Bay; the ability for people
to come, dock their boats and do a little
shopping would be a momentous benet to
the Foster Citys scal sustainability. But
the waterfront isnt bringing in enough vis-
itors the way it should. The docks and board-
walk could use some sprucing up to encour-
age higher-end retail shops to want to relo-
cate there, but thats going to require the
property owner getting on board, Pollard
said.
How do we get them to invest in their
place so that everybody wins? This isnt a
landlord versus a tenant, this is the city try-
ing to improve its infrastructure, Pollard
said.
The city cant afford to just look at the
next 10 years, it needs to be preparing for
the next 40 years. Elaborating on all of its
prospects will allow it to prepare for Foster
Citys future generations, Pollard said.
As current residents look toward downsiz-
ing and retirement, lling their vacancies
with younger families who have children
will require a sound school system, Pollard
said. He served on the Superintendents
Committee on Overcrowding Relief to
explore solutions to the enrollment issue
with the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District. Now that Measure P the
$130 million bond proposal that would
have rebuilt Bowditch Middle School was
defeated Nov. 5, its going to take a sincere
effort on everyones part to nd a viable
solution, Pollard said.
There needs to be a compromise, an
active dialogue about the issue of growth.
And there may not be a solution that every-
one can agree on but its keeping the
cities engaged so that no rock goes
unturned, Pollard said.
Working for the residents of Foster City
is a challenge for which he has been prepar-
ing. Hes learning the lay of the land by
attending meetings, reading reports and
interacting with his soon-to-be colleagues
on the council, Pollard said.
The challenge that all ve of us will be
facing is not what we do, but its going to
be the strategy we use, Pollard said. I
believe were going to get some action done
and I think its going to take a new tone that
the residents of Foster City will be happy
with, because at the end of the day thats
who we work for.

courses of study, said Superintendent
Scott Laurence.
In addition to the petition, the board
approved directing staff to execute a mem-
orandum of understanding with the
schools nonprofit public benefit corpora-
tion for the operation of the school and the
performance of the promises appearing in
the memorandum of understanding. The
board also voted to come back and discuss
whether to have a school board member
serve as a voting member of the nonprof-
its board of directors. Trustee Linda Lees
Dwyer said it would be unwise to have a
trustee on the nonprofit board.
Board President Peter Hanley echoed
Laurences thoughts about the challenges
of opening a new school when he spoke to
the Design Tech leaders.
Youve got a lot of work ahead of you,
he said. Itll be challenging, but its pos-
sible to do.
Additionally, Montgomery noted its
important to keep teachers salaries above
$50,000, while Laurence noted there seems
to be a tremendous amount of work for fac-
ulty and expressed concern there could be
burnout.
Back in July, the school received
$100,000 in planning grant funding from
Next Generation Learning Challenges for
help with costs associated with opening

percent. When the metric rose from 8.5 per-
cent in June, it was the rst increase since
spring 2011.
The U.S. unemployment rate grew to 7.3
percent in October from 7.2 percent in
September.
California lost 2,900 jobs in September
ending a nation-high 27 months of con-
secutive job growth but bounced back in
October.
After government, education and health
services posted the strongest job gains in
October, adding 9,600 jobs. It was followed
by leisure and hospitality, with 9,200 new
jobs, suggesting that Californians continue
to spend on travel and at restaurants.
Manufacturing posted the biggest job
losses, shrinking by 5,600 positions.
The San Francisco Bay Area posted some
of the states lowest jobless rates. San
Mateo had the lowest rate among all
California counties at 5.1 percent, followed
by San Francisco and Napa at 5.3 percent.
Several large Southern California coun-
ties were above the state average, with San
Bernardino at 9.4 percent, Los Angeles at
9.5 percent and Riverside at 10.1 percent.
Orange Countys jobless rate was 5.8 per-
cent and San Diegos was 7 percent.
Imperial County, a farming region in the
southeast corner of the state along the
Mexican border, had the states highest
unemployment rate at 25.2 percent.

ith Black Friday a week away
and holiday shopping season
just around the corner, I have
already identied one item that will not be
on my shopping or wish lists. That item
would be a Tikker wrist watch, one of the
latest entrepreneurial successes from the
crowdfunding website
Kickstarter.
Of course, Tikker is
not selling an everyday
wrist watch. Beyond its
rudimentary function of
displaying local time, a
Tikker watch also fea-
tures a countdown of the
wearers life from years
to seconds.
I will admit, my rst impression of the
Tikker watch was that it was a joke. Not
only is the Kickstarter pitch video laced
with cliches about lifes mortality, but it
also features testimonies from animated
characters about how the watch transformed
their lives. It concludes by declaring,
Wearing a Tikker is a statement to the
world that your biggest priority in life is
living, and ashing the companys slo-
gan, Every second counts.
If its website is any indication, Tikker
already has the support needed to become
successful. After launching its Kickstarter
campaign with the goal of raising $25,000
from Sept. 30 to Nov. 2, Tikker amassed
the support of 2,162 backers and raised
$98,665. Now, Tikker is selling its watch-
es by pre-order on its own website. Each
timepiece has a price tag of $59 and will be
available in April.
Its website also reinforces the timeless
theme of carpe diem, the idea that one
should seize the day and make the most of
the time he is given. But, reading through
founder Fredrik Coltings statement about
happiness and the importance of appreciat-
ing time, the message did not sit right with
me.
Living life to the fullest is without a
doubt sound advice but, in recent years,
pop culture has skewed the meaning. Now,
making the most of ones time is about
more than just taking advantage of lifes
endless opportunities. It is about doing
things for the thrill, leaping from your
comfort zone, having no regrets whatsoev-
er.
The most notable movement in recent
years would be 2012s runaway fad

Aconsiderable upgrade over
the first Hunger Games
movie, Catching Fire comes
across more like a remake
than a sequel.
In the adaptation of the sec-
ond installation in Suzanne
Collins young adult trilogy,
theres certainly plenty that
has changed. Rebellion
against the totalitarian rule of
President Snow (Donald
Sutherland) in the 12 districts
of Panem is growing. Katniss
Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence)
is now a beloved hero with the
weight of celebrity on her
shoulders. And Philip
Seymour Hoffman, bless him,
has found his way into the
proceedings.
Yet the general plot a
journey from Katniss poor
hometown of District 12 to a
climactic game of human
hunting in the arena, with
high-speed train rides and
training sessions in between
is identical to the first
Hunger Games.
More has shufed behind the
camera, and The Hunger
Games: Catching Fire is
much the better for it. Francis

FROG AND TOAD AND THE WORLD
OF ARNOLD LOBEL, AT THE CON-
TEMPORARY JEWISH MUSEUM. In
his 26 year career, Arnold Lobel
(19331987) illustrated nearly 100 titles
and wrote the stories of many of them as
well. His beautifully crafted books received
numerous awards, including a Caldecott
Medal, two Caldecott Honors and a Newbery
Honor. The Contemporary Jewish Museum
(CJM) presents Frog and Toad and the World
of Arnold Lobel, celebrating Lobels
beloved childrens books, including classic
early readers in the Frog and Toad series
(197179), Mouse Soup (1977) and Fables
(1980).
Guided by his belief that the secret to cre-
ating great books for children is in writing
for oneself about oneself, Lobel drew on
fond memories of summers he spent in
Vermont, where his family adopted myriad
frogs and toads as pets. His strong affection
for these amphibians resulted in the devel-
opment of his most memorable characters,
Frog and Toad. The CJM exhibition features
over one hundred original illustrations and
works on paper highlighting Lobels
detailed illustration technique and his warm,
funny tales of love and friendship, mostly
among animal friends.
Contemporary Jewish Museum Executive
Director Lori Starr said, Were thrilled to be
able to share the much loved world of Arnold
Lobel with families over the holiday sea-
son. The exhibition continues the
Museums ongoing effort to present the
work of Jewish author-illustrators like Ezra
Jack Keats and Maurice Sendak to new audi-
ences and to engage our youngest visitors

Weekend Nov. 23-24, 2013 THEDAILYJOURNAL

has taken over directing from Gary Ross,


whose poor handling of the rst lm didnt
stop it from becoming a sensation.
Lawrence has given the lm (the budget was
nearly doubled) a more settled environment
heavy on grays and a more appropriately
grave emotional atmosphere. These are kids
being forced to kill other kids, the franchise
seems to have realized.
Catching Fire opens with Katniss back
in District 12, haunted by the experiences
of her rst Hunger Games. There, too, is her
ame Gale (Liam Hemsworth), whos slav-
ing away in the mines. (Hemsworth, a
nonentity in both lms, makes about as
convincing a miner as Ben Stillers
Zoolander did.)
But Katniss success in the Hunger Games
was partly due to her for-publicity-sake
romance with her co-winner Peeta (Josh
Hutcherson, who seems about half the
height of the screen-dominating Lawrence).
President Snow, aware of the put-on, insists
they keep up the charade to help pacify the
uprising.
Theres an ironic satire of modern celebri-
ty somewhere in Catching Fire. Katniss
has become famous only to nd it a trap. As
her Hunger Games coach Haymitch (Woody
Harrelson) says, You never get off this
train.
Lawrence isnt so different. The Hunger
Games, along with her more interesting
work in Winters Bone and Silver
Linings Playbook, has made her an enor-
mous star. She is quite literally the girl on
re, as Katniss is nicknamed.
When shes trotted out with Peeta on a
victory tour of the 12 districts to feed the
monster that is, to distract the masses
with their tabloid romance one cant help
but see The Hunger Games as the same
kind of diversion. Its dystopia-lite: a
bloody tale of oppression watered down for
a PG-13 rating.
The act doesnt work as Snow intended.
On the tour, we get glimpses of protesters,
emboldened by Katniss, swiftly snuffed out
by Storm Trooper-like guards. (Any actual
dying in The Hunger Games always hap-
pens just off screen). With his plotting new
adviser (Hoffman, adding a dose of
intrigue), Snow announces a twist: The next
Hunger Games will be fought between for-
mer Games winners. He hopes these Hunger
Games will reveal in the reality show
broadcast of the event Katniss as a killer,
not a symbol of populist hope.
The most pleasing moment in Catching
Fire comes when these other former
Victors a motley crew of veteran warriors
is introduced. Among the bone-crushing
murder professionals is, of all people,
Jeffrey Wright. He proves a cunning braini-
ac.
Back are Elizabeth Banks (as the Capitol
escort Efe), Lenny Kravitz (as Katniss
pyrotechnic stylist) and, easily the high
point of both movies, Stanley Tucci as the
campy broadcast emcee Caesar. Among the
newcomers, Sam Clain, as the arrogant
Hunger Games veteran Finnick Odair, has a
mischievous charm.
But Catching Fire is, to be sure,
Lawrences show. The exaggerated world of
The Hunger Games, with its cartoonish
decadents, teenage Roman gladiators and
theatrical allegory, would overwhelm most
young actors. But Lawrence (convincingly
tormented in this lm) has a calm sincerity
and steely determinism that cuts through it
all. Katniss rise is hers, too.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, a
Lionsgate release, is rated PG-13 by the
Motion Picture Association of America for
intense sequences of violence and action,
some frightening images, thematic ele-
ments, a suggestive situation and language.
Running time: 146 minutes. Two and a half
stars out of four.

HUNGER
YOLO, an acronym for you only live
once. Originally the catchphrase of
Drakes song The Motto, YOLO became a
battle cry for taking chances, even those
that were neither safe nor wise. While
intended to promote risk-taking for the
sake of fulllment, YOLO became an
excuse for recklessness or negligence. To
some, any behavior can now be rational-
ized by the idea that you only live once.
Unlike YOLO, Tikker seems to be
geared toward people of all ages. Still, I
sense some similarities in the basic
philosophies of the two concepts. Taking
charge of ones life and refusing to waste a
single moment are ideologies that can pro-
vide for happiness. However, they cannot
go unchecked in the long run.
One of the animated characters in the
Tikker pitch video is seen happily hiking
through an exotic mountain range, without
a care in the world about his life. While a
part of me envies the idea of an adventure
like that, I am not sure you have to fully
escape your day-to-day life to seize the
day. There is fullling joy to be found in
daily routines and occurrences, but there is
also something wonderful about taking a
risk. I think a person needs to balance
both to make the most of his time.
Instead of looking down at a watch that
is counting down the years of my unpre-
dictable and hopefully exciting life, I think
I will try to take each day as it comes. My
regular wrist watch should sufce, for it
reminds me on its own just how quickly the
second hand moves.

By Jessica Herndon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEVERLYHILLS Its not always easy
being an Oscar-winner.
When Jennifer Lawrence returned to the
set of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
after winning the best-actress Academy
Award for last years Silver Linings
Playbook, she was treated to a round of
applause.
Then the teasing began.
I kind of wish just the Hunger Games
group didnt know about (the award)
because anytime I mess up my lines,
Woody (Harrelson) is like, Ya better give
that Oscar back! said Lawrence.
But when I got back, I told everybody
that things were going to be very, very dif-
ferent, the actress said, pufng out her
chest before bursting into a bout of laugh-
ter. The applause was sweet, but really it
was like, Lets move on.
And move on she did, back in theaters
this weekend as heroine Katniss Everdeen
in the Hunger Games: Catching Fire
sequel. Although the role isnt traditional
Oscar material, playing a bow and arrow-
bearing ghter in the screen adaptation of
Suzanne Collins best-selling trilogy also
isnt hurting Lawrences established Oscar
track.
I dont really look for something (like
Oscar potential) when I sit down to read a
script, Lawrence said in a recent inter-
view at a Catching Fire media event.
There is not really a lot of thought. Its a
bizarre instinctual and emotional thing
that just hits me.
Able to tackle dramatic and comedy roles
with ease both in studio blockbusters
and smaller independent lms Lawrence
says her continued universal success was-
nt by design.
Lawrence is Hollywoods modern everywoman

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Life is bleak for the characters in A
Bright New Boise, being given its
Bay Area premiere by Aurora Theatre
Company in Berkeley.
At the center of this two-act play by
Samuel D. Hunter is Will (Robert
Parsons), who has just been hired to
work at Hobby Lobby, a big-box craft
store in Boise, Idaho. The 43-year-old
Will doesnt seem fazed by earning
only $7.25 an hour and working only
38 hours, not enough for benets.
Quiet and unassuming at rst, Will is
vague about his background, but its
eventually revealed that he belonged
to a northern Idaho evangelical church
recently tainted by scandal. Still, Will
fervently believes that the Rapture is
at hand and that he and other believers
will ascend to heaven while everyone
else is left to suffer dire calamities.
Will has another reason to show up
at Hobby Lobby. He wants to connect
with his teenage son, Alex (Daniel
Petzold), who works there and was
given up for adoption early in infancy.
Alex fancies himself as something
of a performance artist, but hes actual-
ly an emotional mess, a youth subject
to panic attacks and threats of suicide.
He doesnt take kindly to the thought
of Will as his father.
Alexs adoptive brother, the older
Leroy (Patrick Russell), also works at
Hobby Lobby. Hes an openly deant
young man, sporting T-shirts with
crude or obscene messages. Hes also
protective of Alex and suspicious of
Will.
Another mist at Hobby Lobby is
Anna (Megan Trout), a painfully with-
drawn high school dropout. She hides
in the store at closing time and reads in
the break room because shes not
allowed to read at home.
All of them are supervised by Pauline
(Gwen Loeb), the foul-mouthed but
apparently competent store manager.
Although this production is well
done under the direction of Tom Ross,
the play leaves many questions unan-
swered. Theres not much in the way of
back stories for these characters, espe-
cially Anna.
Nevertheless, the production holds
ones attention, and the acting is top
notch. Parsons is especially impres-
sive as Will, subtly revealing the char-
acters intense inner conicts as well
as his hope for salvation.
A Bright New Boise will continue
at Aurora Theatre, 2081 Addison St.,
Berkeley, through Dec. 8. For tickets
and information call (510) 843-4822
or visit www.auroratheatre.org.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES In the 17 years
since Swingers, Vince Vaughn has
cultivated the comedic persona of an
obnoxious and insensitive boor, so it
may come as a surprise to learn that
Delivery Man reveals a softer side
entirely. As David Wozniak, the
worlds most fertile sperm donor, the
star plays someone whos over-
whelmed as opposed to merely over-
whelming. Its a welcome change,
though a signicant marketing chal-
lenge as well, considering
DreamWorks has almost no way of let-
ting audiences know that Delivery
Man is virtually nothing like a Vince
Vaughn movie, but rather a heartfelt
celebration of the act of parenthood
presented under radically exaggerated
circumstances.
Such sincerity comes easy for
Canadian writer-director Ken Scott,
whos already told this story once
before in the charming French-lan-
guage hit Starbuck. Now, working in
Hollywood, he demonstrates the good
sense not to mess with success, engi-
neering what amounts to a scene-for-
scene remake of that earlier feel-good
outing with the notable addition of
Chris Pratt in his funniest supporting
performance yet.
Transplanted from Montreal to
Manhattan for the benet of this new
version, Wozniak drives a deli-meat
truck, but even that task proves too
much responsibility for his stunted
abilities. Vaughns character may not
be the sharpest blade in the family
butchery, but he has a good soul,
which comes through the instant he
receives news that would send any nor-
mal man into panic mode.
Nearly 20 years earlier, he donated
dozens of times to a fertility clinic,
which, through an administrative
uke, used his sperm to foster 533
children, 142 of whom are demanding
to know the identity of their biologi-
cal father. More shocking for Wozniak
is the revelation that his policewoman
g.f. (Cobie Smulders) is pregnant,
though neither revelation is particular-
ly easy to process for a man who grows
marijuana in his apartment and has
more parking tickets than dollars to
his name.
Presented with a packet of informa-
tion about his children, Wozniak draws
one page at random and decides to pay
the kid a visit, eavesdropping on a
professional basketball game where
his son scores the winning shot. For a
split second, the lm allows audiences
to think that perhaps this sub-average
shlub could be responsible for father-
ing 533 exceptional offspring: a mix
of athletes, stars and world leaders.
Thats the beauty of Scotts script,
which supplies precisely the emotion-
al uplift moviegoers want, while still
managing to surprise at every turn.
The circumstances may be contrived,
but the characters feel refreshingly
genuine.

ing. Your appearance may be in person

the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of

ity may affect your rights as a creditor.

or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-

Weekend Nov. 23-24, 2013 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By George Jahn and Jamey Keaten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GENEVA Secretary of State John Kerry
and foreign ministers of other major pow-
ers lent their weight to the Iran nuclear
talks after envoys reported progress Friday
in marathon negotiations to curb the
Iranian program in return for limited sanc-
tions relief.
After a third day of talks, State
Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said
Kerry was en route to Geneva to help nar-
row the differences. Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in Geneva
late Friday.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague
announced he would also travel to Geneva.
AFrench diplomat, speaking on condition
of anonymity because he was not author-
ized to release the information, said French
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius would join
the others here.
The announcements followed a day in
which diplomats appeared more and more
optimistic that a deal could be struck.
As talks adjourned, a diplomat said
Iranian Foreign Minister and top European
Union diplomat Catherine Ashton had made
progress on a key sticking point Irans
claim to a right to produce nuclear fuel
through uranium enrichment
Irans ofcial IRNA news agency quoted
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas
Araghchi in Geneva as saying that Irans
right to uranium enrichment must be part of
any deal.
Enrichment is a hot-button issue because
it can be used both to make reactor fuel and
to arm nuclear missiles. Iran argues it is
enriching only for power, and scientic and
medical purposes. And it says it has no
interest in nuclear arms.
But Washington and its allies point to
Tehrans earlier efforts to hide enrichment
and allege it worked on developing such
weapons.
Iran has insisted on that right throughout
almost a decade of mostly fruitless nuclear
negotiations. But REUTERS
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad
Javad Zarif last weekend indicated that Iran
is ready to sign a deal that does not express-
ly state that claim, raising hopes that a deal
could be sealed at the current Geneva round.
For the U.S. and Iran, the talks represent
more than trying to hammer out a nuclear
deal. In style and substance they are an
extension of the historic dialogue opened
during Septembers annual U.N. gathering,
which included a 15-minute phone conver-
sation between President Barack Obama
and Irans new president, Hassan Rouhani.
The nuclear negotiations have included
intensive one-on-one sessions between
U.S. and Iranian envoys, offering opportu-
nities to widen contacts and begin the long
process of reconciliation after more than
three decades of estrangement. For Iran, it
also gives Rouhanis government a chance
to show skeptical hard-liners that dialogue
is possible with Washington without put-
ting the countrys Islamic system in peril.
Iranian hard-liners are suspicious of talk
of nuclear compromise since Rouhani took
ofce in September, fearing his team will
give too much at the negotiating table and
not get enough in terms of sanctions relief.
On Wednesday, Irans supreme leader,
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said his country
would never compromise on red lines.
Since then Tehran has publicly reverted to
its original stance that the six powers
must recognize this activity as Irans right,
despite strong opposition by Israel and
within the U.S. Congress.
Still, comments from Iranian ofcials in
Geneva indicated that reverting to tough
talk on enrichment may be at least partial-
ly meant for home consumption.
In Geneva, a senior Iranian negotiator
said the Iranian claim to the right to enrich
did not need to be explicitly recognized in
any initial deal, despite Khameneis com-
ment, adding that the supreme leader was
not planning to intervene in the talks. He
did suggest, however, that language on that
point remained difcult and that there were
other differences.
Work is proceeding on a compromise
along the lines of what the Iranian negotia-
tor said avoiding a direct reference to
any countrys right to enrich but still giv-
ing enough leeway for Iran to accept it, said
a diplomat involved in the talks.
Both he and the Iranian envoy demanded
anonymity because they were not allowed
to discuss the condential talks and neither
offered details.
Senior Iranian analyst Trita Parsi, citing
conversations with Iranian and U.S. of-
cials, said the draft includes a reference to
the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which
Iran claims is the guarantor of each coun-
trys right to enrich by granting signato-
ries the right to pursue nuclear power for
peaceful uses.
That argument is rejected by the United
States and its allies, which say the treaty
does not directly mention such a right.
Parsi said Tehran wants the wording to
make clear that Iran is not a permanent
outcast, but has the same rights and
responsibilities as all other signatories to
the treaty.

KABUL, Afghanistan Afghanistans
president on Friday rebuffed American
demands that he sign a security pact allow-
ing U.S. forces to stay in the country for
another decade, while the U.S. defense sec-
retary warned that planning for a post-2014
military presence may be jeopardized if the
deal isnt nalized by the end of the year.
The stakes are high as Afghan tribal eld-
ers and other regional leaders met behind
closed doors for a second day to debate the
draft agreement seen as necessary to enable
thousands of American soldiers to stay
beyond a 2014 deadline primarily to train
and mentor government security forces who
are still struggling to face a resilient
Taliban insurgency on their own.
Karzai stunned the U.S. when he urged
delegates on Thursdays opening day of the
consultative council known as the Loya
Jirga to approve the security pact but said
he will leave it to his successor to sign it
after the April 5 elections.
His spokesman Aimal Faizi stuck to that
stance on Friday despite U.S. pleas, saying
there is no deadline for us except what the
president said in his speech.
The Obama administration has said it will
pull all its forces out of Afghanistan with-
out a security deal, as it did when Iraq failed
to sign a similar agreement. U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry called Karzai on Friday
and warned that further delay is not practi-
cal, nor is it tenable, State Department
spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
Failure to conclude (the deal) ... would be
seen as a signal to the world that
Afghanistan is not committed to a partner-
ship with its supporters and that it is will-
ing to jeopardize all of the nancial and
practical help that has been offered, Psaki
said.
The U.S. invaded Afghanistan following
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to go
after al-Qaida, which was being sheltered by
the Taliban. The longest and costliest war
in U.S. history has proven deeply unpopu-
lar at home and among its allies, who also
have said they will not commit any troops
after 2014 unless the security deal is
signed.
The exit of all foreign forces would jeop-
ardize the more than $8 billion that has
been pledged annually to fund Afghan secu-
rity forces and help with the countrys
development.
Underscoring that point, U.S. Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel said Friday he cant
recommend that President Barack Obama
continue planning for a post-2014 force in
Afghanistan unless Afghan leaders prompt-
ly sign the security agreement.
Hagel said that without an agreement the
U.S. will have no clear understanding of
what the Afghan people want, what an
acceptable role for U.S. forces will be or
how to carry out that mission. He was
speaking to reporters before the start of a
security forum in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
According to a senior U.S. defense of-
cial, Hagel spoke by phone with Marine
Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top U.S. and
coalition commander in Afghanistan, to
receive an update on the Loya Jirga and
ongoing discussions with the Afghan gov-
ernment on the bilateral security agree-
ment.
The ofcial said Dunford told Hagel that
Washington has sent a strong message to
the Loya Jirga that the agreement must be
approved now and signed without delay if
Afghans want the U.S. and its allies to
remain after 2014.
