Turning healthy eating into a
game helped Jennifer Tyler Lee
not only improve her childrens
well-being, but also led to her own
successful food career.
The Burlingame mom with a
background in strategy consulting
is releasing her first book The 52
New Foods Challenge in
November through Penguin
Random House. The book was
inspired by her own struggle with
getting her children to eat
healthy, balanced meals. Her
daughter had a reputation for only
eating pasta and peas.
When my daughter was enter-
ing kindergarten, she was an
immensely picky eater, said
Tyler Lee, who previously had no
writing background. I created a
game to get her to eat her vegeta-
bles.
The plan was a success and in
2011 she created the nutrition
game Crunch a Color, the meal-
time card game. Children earn
points for eating a balanced and
colorful meal bonus points for
trying new foods and good man-
ners. The game ended up at Pottery
Barn Kids nationwide, Barnes &
Noble and is now available on
Amazon. Chef Jamie Oliver began
sharing her effort through his
Food Foundation, a food education
nonprofit.
I really didnt intend to start a
business, said Tyler Lee, who has
a 10-year-old daughter and 8-year-
old son. The 52 New Foods
Challenge grew out of game that
started at the family dinner table.
She started writing the book in
June 2013 and mostly wrote the
book in the cottage in the back-
yard of her house. It was her little
place off the beaten path where
she could sit down and write every
day, she said.
Writing the book was so much

Big parking
changes for
downtown
Redwood City officials looking at charging
for EV and creating car sharing program
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Big changes may be coming to parking in Redwood City
if the City Council approves a list of recommendations that
include fees for electric vehicle charging, establishing a car
share program and allowing public spaces to be reserved for
specific uses.
The city undertook a comprehensive parking study in
October 2013 to figure out ways to manage increasingly
hard-to-find parking amid the downtown boom. City offi-
cials have already hiked parking meter rates in the down-
town core to encourage turnover. Now, the council will con-
sider more tweaks first on Monday night and, if approved,
at a second reading and public hearing Nov. 17.
One key change might be charging electric vehicle driv-

Work to fix a Burlingame intersection
that has a higher left-turn related collision
rate than the statewide average is moving
forward with a draft environmental report,
but the city isnt satisfied with Caltrans
plans for safety improvements.
Residents and city officials previously
expressed concerns about the project aimed
at El Camino Real and Floribunda Avenue to
rebuild an intersection because of the poten-
tial tree removal associated with the project
and offered alternatives. The California

Dungeness crab fishing season is sure to
draw crowds to the docks at Pillar Point
Harbor in Half Moon Bay with sport season
kicking off Saturday and commercial fisher-
men preparing their equipment to hit the
seas Nov. 15.
This year also marks the 100th season
that the California Department of Fish and
Wildlife has gathered landing data for the
crab fishery, said Christy Juhasz, an envi-
ronmental scientist with the Department of
Fish and Wildlife.
The past few Dungeness crab seasons have
been extremely productive and while crab
catches tend to be periodic, with a few good
years followed by several with lower num-
bers, the past 100 years of data is promis-
ing, Juhasz said.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Creating a play from start to finish is
never an easy task but its something
San Mateo couple Kit Wilder and Lisa
Mallete did together for two years in col-
laborating on the writing and production
details of the play Truce: A Christmas
Wish From the Great War set to premiere
Nov. 20 at City Lights Theater Company
in San Jose.
Wilder, 53, associate art director and
director of the premiere play, works under
his boss and wife Mallete, 48, as associate
art director.
The couple have worked together at City
Lights Theater Company since the early
2000s. Wilder, while he frequently directs
and acts, said that sometimes working as a
couple can have strains. The difficult thing
about sharing a passion and career with a
spouse is that it is simply difficult to leave
the work alone, Wilder said.
Its easy to keep working, he said.
We just change the environment. For
years, for people who knew us, theyd call
our house the power house.
Their play tells the story of two troops
during World War I, on both the English
and German sides that abandon orders and
refuse t o fi ght for t he eveni ng of
Christmas. The play explores the stories
of their experience with perspectives of
the soldiers, nurses and wives.
Mal l et e st umbl ed
across t he st ory i n
search of holiday plays
t hat were approach-
able, and said she found
this war story unique.
It s a st ory t hat
shoul d be cel ebrat ed,
she said. Its a little bit
of an anti-war piece, but
more a cel ebrat i on of
the human spirit. They were ordered not to
fraternize and they did anyway.
She then commissioned her husband to
write the play together with co-author
Jeffrey Bracco.
The script draws upon letters and histor-
ical documents and is mostly true.
We decided to surround the historical
elements of the play with the stories of
two fictional characters that the audience
can relate to, said Wilder.
The play has scenes of the Christmas
one-day truce of the soldiers singing car-
ol s t oget her, sayi ng goodbye t o t hei r
wives and events that would later circulate
around the soldiers deciding to cease fire
for just one evening.
Its very difficult to write about the his-
t ory usi ng anecdot al account s usi ng
things that people actually said, Wilder
said. Its such a grand story, the events
themselves, you dont have to do a lot to
tell that story.
Mallete first commissioned Wilder to
write the play together
with Bracco because she
wanted a play that had
more human el ement s
than the typical holiday
show.
We have a young
adult demographic, she
said. This moment in
time was a really beauti-
ful thing. Young folks
should know about this too.
Mallete explained that she fell into
the administrative arts department when
she started in 2001. She walked into a cri-
sis the company had trouble selling
tickets and were operating on a smaller
budget, she said.
I had a knack for leadership, she said.
Mallete is also an actor and studied the-
ater in New York City. She said she tries to
reacquaint herself with her love of theater
by acting in a production about once a
year. Wilder received his theater training
i n London as an act or and has been
involved with theater professionally since
1980. Mallete was recently on the HBO
series, Looking, where she said she had
one line.
Its because I have a fabulous agent,
she said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Pacifica man prosecutors say stabbed
his wife of 54 years seven times because she
was bugging him might not be mentally
fit to stand trial for attempted murder,
according to his court-appointed attorney.
Tony Gocksue Lee, 84, was scheduled
Friday for a preliminary hearing on the evi-
dence but instead his attorney expressed a
doubt about his competency. On Tuesday, a
judge will appoint two doctors whose evalu-
ation of Lee will determine if he faces trial
on charges of attempted murder and domestic
violence or goes to a state mental facility
for treatment. If tried and convicted, Lee
faces about a dozen years in prison.
Competency is a persons ability to aid in
his or her defense while sanity is a mental
state at the time of an alleged crime. If Lee is
found incompetent but
later restored, he will
return to San Mateo
County for prosecution.
Authorities say Lee
stabbed his wife seven
times because he believed
she no longer loved him
and was bugging him.
Pacifica police responded
to the couples home after
a family friend planning to visit said Lee
told them not to bother because hed already
killed his wife and planned to die, too.
Lees 72-year-old wife was found bleeding
in the dining room and taken to a hospital
for treatment.
The couple has been married 54 years and
has no documented history of violence.
Lee remains in custody without bail.
Alleged wife stabber may not be competent

Skyline student found dead
A51-year-old male Skyline College student
was found dead at the San Bruno school
Tuesday, Oct. 28, said San Bruno police Lt.
Tim Mahon.
The fire department was called there because
David Bettencourt was found unresponsive in
the showers of Building 3 at 6:34 p.m.
The fire department was not able to resus-
citate him and he was pronounced dead,
Mahon said. The death has been classified as
a natural death. Police did find several medica-
tion bottles with Bettencourt and there were
no signs of foul play, Mahon said.
The toxicology report was deemed unnec-
essary because it was very clear the cause of
death was acute basilar subarachnoid hemor-
rhage due to ruptured cerebral aneurysm,
according to the San Mateo County
Coroners Office.
Two critically burned in
Bay Area apartment fire
Fire crews responded to reports of an explo-

in Walnut Creek around 10 a.m. and had the
blaze mostly extinguished within an hour,
but not before part of the building collapsed.

has more than 800 students,
Principal Cathy Ennon said.
Ennon, who began at the school
as a teacher, became Abbotts sec-
ond female principal in 2000.
This is a lifetime commit-
ment, she said. The school has
become much more inclusive.
During its six decades of exis-
tence, Abbott has had eight prin-
cipals. The anniversary commit-
tee has invited former principals
to attend, including Gerald Brock
(1963-70), Tom Kono (interim
principal 1982-83), William
Kramer (1984-90) and Abbotts
first female principal Patricia
Stahler (1994-2000).
Its a time to pause and reflect
on the educational programs and
services that have been provided
to this community, Ennon said.
Its a way of recognizing those
who were early on in the forma-
tive years and provided education-
al services to children and fami-
lies throughout the 60 years,
including current staff.
Pansy Jewett Abbott, Abbotts
namesake from, was a pioneer in
local politics. In 1925, she was
appointed to the position of
county superintendent of schools
to finish out the remaining term
of Roy Cloud when he left. She
ran for the job in the election in
1926 and won, remaining in
office until 1951. She began her
teaching career at San Mateos
Homestead School at the age of
18. She went on to teach at
Central School. She supplement-
ed her teachers salary by working
as a reporter for the San Mateo
News-Leader. She co-wrote a book
on good health for children. She
organized the San Mateo County
Teachers Association and repre-
sented teachers at state conven-
tions. She started the first county-
wide school for children with
cerebral palsy in California.
Abbott Middle School serves as a
reminder of her years of dedica-
tion to education.
San Mateos other public middle
school, Borel, opened on April
11, 1929, as an elementary
school with 150 students and four
teachers. The school was named
in honor of Antoine Borel, a San
Mateo community leader.
The party will include food and
desserts from Rudys Tacos,
Fletchs Hot Dogs, 37th Ave.
Deli, Jamba Juice and Heidis
Pies. There will also be a DJ,
karaoke, games and raffle prizes,
along with cheer and music per-
formances. There will be a formal
ceremony with local officials
such as Cynthia Simms, superin-
tendent of the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District,
San Mateos deputy mayor
Maureen Freschet and Marc
Hershman, district director for
state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, and school board Trustee
Ed Coady. The celebration takes
place at Abbott, 600 36th Ave. in
San Mateo.

MOJAVE A winged spaceship designed
t o t ake t ouri st s on excursi ons beyond
Earths atmosphere exploded during a test
fl i ght Fri day over t he Moj ave Desert ,
killing a pilot in the second fiery setback
for commercial space travel in less than a
week.
Vi rgi n Gal act i cs SpaceShi pTwo bl ew
apart after being released from a carrier air-
craft at high altitude, according to Ken
Brown, a photographer who witnessed the
explosion.
One pi l ot was found dead i nsi de t he
spacecraft and another parachuted out and
was flown by helicopter to a hospital, Kern
County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said.
The crash area was about 120 miles north
of downtown Los Angeles and 20 miles
from the Mojave Air and Space Port, where
the flight originated.
Bri t i sh bi l l i onai re Ri chard Branson,
founder of Virgin Galactic, has been the
front-runner in the fledgling race to give
large numbers of paying civilians a subor-
bital ride that would let them experience
weightlessness and see the Earth from the
edge of space. Branson was expected to
arrive in Mojave on Saturday, as were
i nvest i gat ors wi t h t he Nat i onal
Transportation Safety Board.
Space is hard, and today was a tough
day, Vi rgi n Gal act i c CEO Presi dent
George Whitesides said. The future rests
in many ways on hard, hard days like
this.
The accident occurred just as it seemed
commercial space flights were near, after a
peri od of devel opment t hat l ast ed far
longer than hundreds of prospective pas-
sengers had expected.
When Virgin Group licensed the technol-
ogy from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen,
who put $26 million into SpaceShipOne,
Branson envisioned operating flights by
2007. In interviews last month, he talked
about the first flight being next spring
with his son.
Its a real setback to the idea that lots of
people are going to be taking joyrides into
the fringes of outer space any time soon,
said John Logsdon, retired space policy
director at George Washington University.
There were a lot of people who believed
that the technology to carry people is safe-
ly at hand.

SAN FRANCISCO A much-needed, if
poorly timed, storm rolled into California,
dampening the Giants World Series champi-
onship parade in San Francisco and promis-
ing to force candy-seeking ghosts and
witches throughout Northern California to
cover up with rain jackets in the evening.
There will be lingering showers during
prime trick-or-treating, and a possibility of
thunderstorms, National Weather Service
forecaster Matt Mehly said Friday.
The weather service has issued a winter
storm warning for much of the Sierra Nevada
starting at 5 p. m. Friday, with snow expect-
ed at higher elevations overnight, he said.
Rain was already falling in San Francisco
early Friday as city officials closed off
streets in preparation for a noon parade to
celebrate the Giants third World Series win
in five years.
Matt Parker and Drew Kennett took a ferry
from Marin County to San Francisco to
attend the parade.
Rain? What rain? Parker joked.
This isnt rain, Kennett said of the driz-
zly conditions. This is San Francisco.
Area resident Mike Mezz, in shorts and a
Giants shirt, had his umbrella ready under
the gray skies.
Im a San Franciscan, thats how we do
it, he said. I dont mind the rain. If it was
snowing Id still be out here. Thats how
much I love the Giants.
The parade was slated to conclude at Civic
Center Plaza where, on the steps of City
Hall, Mayor Ed Lee planned to honor the
World Series champions in a civic celebra-
tion, rain or shine.
Mehly, of the weather service, said that
while the first big storm this fall is welcome
and necessary, it wont be nearly enough to
affect statewide water shortages stemming
from years with little rainfall.
Its going to take several years to put a
dent in the drought, he said.
Ranger Cari Cobb, spokeswoman for
Yosemite National Park, said in an emailed
statement that Tioga and Glacier Point roads
would preemptively close at 6:00 p. m.
Friday.
Military sex survey draws complaints
WASHINGTON Shocked and offended
by explicit questions, some U. S. service-
men and women are complaining about a
new sexual-assault survey that hundreds of
thousands have been asked to complete.
The survey is conducted every two years.
But this years version, developed by the
Rand Corp. , is unusually detailed, including
graphically personal questions on sexual
acts.
Some military members told the
Associated Press that they were surprised
and upset by the questions, and some even
said they felt re-victimized by the blunt lan-
guage. None of them would speak publicly
by name, but Pentagon officials confirmed
they had received complaints that the ques-
tions were intrusive and invasive.
The Defense Department said it made the
survey much more explicit and detailed this
year in order to get more accurate results as
the military struggles to reduce its sexual
assaults while also encouraging victims to
come forward to get help.
The survey questions, which were
obtained by the Associated Press, ask about
any unwanted sexual experiences or contact,
and include very specific wording about
mens and womens body parts or other
objects, and kinds of contact or penetra-
tion.

Early votes exceed 15M
but who benefits?
By David Espo
WASHINGTON Early votes soared past 15 million
across 31 states on Friday, an outpouring that is giving
hopeful Republicans as well as nervous Democrats cause for
optimism heading into the final weekend of a campaign with
control of the Senate, the U. S. House and 36 governorships
at stake.
Republicans pointed to a strong early-vote performance in
Iowa as evidence that Joni Ernst was a step ahead in her bid
to capture a Senate seat for the GOP. I feel real good about
it, said Gov. Terry Branstad, campaigning with the partys
Senate hopeful as he sought a new term for himself, as well.
But in Georgia, Democrats said a strong early turnout by
African-Americans in the counties around Atlanta was a good
sign for Michelle Nunn, running for a seat long out of the
partys reach.
As candidates headed into a final weekend of campaigning,
Democratic hopes of holding a Senate seat in Arkansas
appeared to be fading, and Republicans already appeared
assured of gains in West Virginia, South Dakota and
Montana. They need to gain six to come away with the elec-
tions biggest prize control of the Senate during President
Barack Obamas final two years in office.
Strategists in both parties agreed privately that races in
Louisiana and Georgia were probably headed for runoffs, and
several Republicans expressed concern about Kansas, where
polls showed Sen. Pat Roberts was in a tough race to keep a
seat held by Republicans for decades.
Mailed ballots suggest
low turnout in California
By Fenit Nirappil
SACRAMENTO California appears to be on track for
another low-turnout election as county clerks and analysts
report that mail ballots are trickling in slowly compared
with previous election cycles.
Many political observers expected low voter interest this
year in a cycle with a governors race devoid of drama and no
U. S. Senate race or high-interest ballot initiative. Primary
turnout already hit a record low this year when just one in
four registered voters cast ballots in June.
We are not seeing the same call volume in 2010, the
same Web hits and the same number of questions and
thats matching returns, said Neal Kelley, the Orange
County registrar of voters and president of California
Association of Clerks and Election Officials.
In 2010, the last non-presidential statewide election, 2. 9
million vote-by-mail ballots had been returned by this
point, according to an analysis by the firm Political Data
Inc. This year, that number is just 2. 2 million, even though
the number of absentee voters has grown by 3 million.
From 2010 to 2014, the number of Los Angeles County
voters requesting mail ballots nearly doubled to 1. 5 mil-
lion. About one in six voters have returned their ballots this
year compared with more than half in the last election.

FORT KENT, Maine A Maine
judge gave nurse Kaci Hickox the OK
to go wherever she pleases, handing
state officials a defeat Friday in the
nations biggest court case yet over
how to balance personal liberty, pub-
lic safety and fear of Ebola.
Judge Charles C. LaVerdiere ruled
that Hickox must continue daily mon-
itoring of her health but said there is
no need to isolate her or restrict her
movements because she has no symp-
toms and is therefore not contagious.
The judge also decried the miscon-
ceptions, misinformation, bad sci-
ence and bad information circulating
about the lethal disease in the U. S.
After the ruling, a state police cruis-
er that had been posted outside
Hickoxs home left, and she and her
boyfriend stepped outside to thank the
judge.
Hickox, 33, called it a good day
and said her thoughts, prayers and
gratitude remain with those who are
still battling Ebola in West Africa.
She said she had no immediate plans
other than to watch a scary movie at
home on Halloween in this town of
4, 300 people on the remote northern
edge of Maine, near the Canadian bor-
der.
Maine health officials had gone to
court on Thursday in an attempt to bar
her from crowded public places and
require her to stay at least 3 feet from
others until the 21-day incubation
period for Ebola was up on Nov. 10.
She would have been free to jog or go
bike riding.
But the judge turned the state down.
Gov. Paul LePage said he disagreed
with the ruling but will abide by it.
Officials said there are no plans to
appeal.
As governor, I have done every-
thing I can to protect the health and
safety of Mainers. The judge has eased
restrictions with this ruling, and I
believe it is unfortunate, LePage
said.
Later in the day, the governor lashed
out at Hickox, saying: She has vio-
lated every promise she has made so
far, so I cant trust her. I dont trust her.
And I dont trust that we know enough
about this disease to be so callous.
Hickox was thrust into the center of
a national debate after she returned to
the U. S. last week from treating Ebola
victims in West Africa as a volunteer
for Doctors Without Borders.
She contended that the states con-
fining her to her home in what it
called a voluntary quarantine violated
her rights and was unsupported by sci-
ence. She defied the restrictions twice,
once to go on a bike ride and once to
talk to the media and shake a
reporters hand.
In his ruling, the judge thanked
Hickox for her service in Africa and
acknowledged the gravity of restrict-
ing someones constitutional rights
without solid science to back it up.

Pacifica highway project
Editor,
If you think the trafc mess at
Pedro Point has been rough, just wait.
Theres a massive highway project in
the works between Rockaway and
Vallemar that will go on for two years
at the very least. A lack of public
forums and a railroading by CalTrans
means this mess is literally about to
happen, something most coastsiders
dont realize. And for what?
Imagine a section of Interstate 280
more than twice the width of the
Highway 1, bordered by 14-foot con-
crete walls that encourages drivers to
bypass local businesses and jockey
for position as the lanes squeeze back
down into the existing road. Why is
Caltrans so eager to transform
Highway 1 into freeway with bottle-
necks at both ends? Is it so there will
be demand for another section, and
then another, will follow? Theres
nothing in this plan that will
improve trafc! Pork-barrel highway
projects are happening all over. This
article spells it out: Google Building
bigger roads actually makes trafc
worse.
A new City Council will make the
difference. Keener, Digre and
Dougherty are the candidates that say,
This makes no sense. Its wrong for
Highway 1 and Pacica. Without
their votes and voices on the council,
this may be a done deal. There are
alternatives that could actually
address the congestion issues, but
these havent been allowed on the
table. Please contact Pacicans for
Highway 1 Alternatives via Facebook
or its website:ph1a-
pacica. weebly. com. Heads up,
Pacica. Were being railroaded, in
the true meaning of the word.

The definition of liberal
Editor,
Among all the various derogatory
words Republicans use to character-
ize their opposition, liberal seems
to be the favoritecuss word, often
equated with Communists, Marxists,
Nazis and whatever they can come up
with when unable to come up with a
more mature, educated and rational
comment to something they take
exception to. And if they really wish
to stress their depth of disgust, caps
are used for emphasis.
So, I decided to look up the defini-
tion of liberal and found this sum-
mary from several dictionaries:
Generous, open-minded and not
prejudiced, strict or rigorous, toler-
ant of the ideas and behavior of oth-
ers, in favor of general broadening
of the mind, favoring individual lib-
erty and political and social reform,
regarding many traditional beliefs as
dispensable and invalidated by mod-
ern thought, or liable to change.
Liberals have, express, or follow
social or political views or policies
that favor non-revolutionary
progress and reform, or policies that
favor the freedom of individuals to
act or express themselves in a man-
ner of their own choosing.
No wonder liberalism scares the
nightlight out of the Grand Old
Party.

San Mateo
Measure H
Editor,
I want to encourage people to
review the votenoonmeasureh. word-
press. com website before they vote
on the $388 million community col-
lege Measure H bond.
County taxpayers have already
given the community colleges close
to $1 billion in previous bond
funds. The ballot lists a stream of
possible areas to spend the bond
money but lacks clarity on the pro-
jected costs. It is unclear if the funds
will truly benefit students in their
quest to achieve higher education,
certification, an A. A. degree or the
tools needed to transfer to a four-
year college. Perhaps the funds will
be used to construct award winning
buildings such as the $100 million
replacement theater envisioned at
Skyline College. San Mateo County
voters have already shown their sup-
port for higher education and will
continue to do so.
Voting no on Measure H means
that citizens want more accountabil-
ity from those spending their hard
earned money.

Vote De Paula, Hickey and
McDowell
Editor,
Do you feel the need to pay a five-
member board of directors and a staff
of six to select which health care
charities to support with your taxes?
Or are you smart enough to make
these decisions yourself?
I believe the latter. Thats why Im
voting for De Paula, Hickey and
McDowell, who intend to close
down the Sequoia Healthcare
District. I recommend that you do so
also.

Letters to the editor
A solution for
prison reform
T
hree weeks ago, I wrote a piece on the unintended
consequences of Gov. Jerry Browns Public Safety
Realignment program, commonly known as AB
109, or Assembly Bill 109, that shifts offenders from state
to county jails. This dynamic shift has resulted in a recent
spike in crimes across our state. I also discussed the need for
meaningful solutions to sentencing reform and recidivism
that would be safer and more cost-efcient, such as early
crime-prevention efforts and reformed prison re-entry pro-
grams.
Two weeks later, I attended a
spirited debate between San
Mateo County District Attorney
Stephen Wagstaffe and San
Francisco Public Defender Jeff
Adachi, on Proposition 47
The Safe Neighborhoods and
Schools Act. As I was leaving, a
Bay Area reporter asked me if I
had a solution to the prison
reform dilemma. Puzzled, I asked
about the context behind his
question. I read your op-ed on
prison reform in the Daily
Journal, he replied. You made
some good points, but your
party is primarily known for pointing out problems, rather
than identifying real solutions.
This article will expound upon my earlier work by drawing
your attention to what is arguably a common sense solution
to an overcrowded prison population in a society more
focused on punishing the individual rather than providing
the treatment they need to improve their lives.
In spite of the fact that California spends more of your
hard-earned tax dollars on corrections than on higher educa-
tion, sentencing reform has remained one of our least valued
priorities for over three decades. If you feel puzzled, that
makes two of us.
Proponents of Proposition 47 contend the bill would
streamline and reduce certain felony sentences to misde-
meanors statewide. The rationale is that by reducing non-
serious criminal charges for certain crimes, offenders can
have more opportunities for early release and, in some
cases, serve no jail time at all. While this could reduce the
prison population in theory, proponents tell us little about
the potential unintended consequences of such a policy. An
undisputed fact is that such a policy will put undue pressure
on state and local law enforcement to track additional pris-
oners and felons.
In the Proposition 47 debate, Adachi suggested that the
bill would do much more good for society by reducing penal-
ties for offenders who deserve a second chance.
In response, Wagstaffe pointed out that bills like
Proposition 47 are well-intentioned, but apply a one-size-
ts-all approach to reducing crime in 58 very different coun-
ties with respect to criminal activity. In San Mateo
County, Wagstaffe said, we prefer to have the discretion to
rst charge offenders with a misdemeanor once or twice to
encourage their participation in a treatment program before
bumping the charge to a higher penalty. Wagstaffe stressed
the importance of treatment and re-entry programs, and that
having discretion as a D.A. is key to implementing and sus-
taining such programs.
Bail bondsman and former Redwood City Council candi-
date Corrin Rankin also in attendance at the debate
said, Proposition 47 is misleadingly titled The Safe
Neighborhoods and Schools Act. I wholeheartedly believe
that treating individuals is more conducive than incarcerat-
ing them. However, Proposition 47 is poorly written and
does nothing to deliver on its promise.
The fact is that the debate on prison reform has always
rested on one simple fact the current model of addressing
crime by constructing more prisons is not working.
Unfortunately, when it comes to sentencing reform, our
states philosophy is that it is cheaper to punish offenders
than to treat them. This is a difcult truth to bear, particular-
ly because it rests on reasoning that is inhumane and awed.
It is time to develop a prison that focuses on an offenders
skill development and recovery treatment, rather than mere
punishment. The goal should be simple prepare the
offender for the most prosperous and sustainable path of re-
entry into society as possible.
The San Mateo County Womens Transitional Facility is a
prime example of such a model. The facility provides oppor-
tunities for inmates to learn to cook nutritious meals at
local restaurants to nd employment waiting tables or work-
ing in commercial kitchens upon release.
I have no doubt that various proposals for prison reform
such as AB 109 and Proposition 47 are well-intended.
But we must be careful and targeted in our approach to not
merely reduce sentences for the sake of reducing sentences.
Rather, we must reform sentencing guidelines to t the
nature of the crime in the best interest of the general public.

NEW YORK For stock investors,
there was no shortage of drama in
October.
Stocks started the month modestly
below a record high, only to cascade to
their worst slump in two years. But
after flirting with a correction, or a 10
percent drop, the U. S. market rebound-
ed and closed at all-time highs on the
last day of the month.
All told, U. S. stocks ended October
solidly higher, up 2. 3 percent. The
Dow Jones industrial average capped
the rally by rising 195. 10 points, or
1. 1 percent, to end at 17, 390. 52 on
Friday. The Standard & Poors 500 rose
23. 40 points, or 1. 2 percent, to
2, 018. 05 and the Nasdaq composite
added 64. 60 points, or 1. 4 percent, to
4, 630. 74.
Both the Dow and the S&P 500
closed at record highs.
Its a remarkable turn given the
months volatility, which at times
approached levels from the 2008
financial crisis. Then again, the
month has an unfortunate history for
unsettling moves, with the stock mar-
ket crashes of 1929 and 1987 both
happening in October.
This October, the markets seesaw
path was driven by fears that Europes
economy was slipping back into a
recession, worries about plunging oil
prices and concerns of possible weak-
ness in the U. S. economy. Oh, and
dont forget Ebola. Those anxieties
sent the market, for the most part,
straight down for two weeks.
The nadir came on Oct. 15, when the
S&P 500 came with a hairs breadth of
going into a correction. Investors had
suspected such a drop. The last one
occurred in late 2011, and historically
corrections happen every 18 months
or so.
But just after the market came close
to going into a correction, it bounced
right back. Strong U. S. corporate
earnings were the primary driver of the
rebound as well as signs that central
banks in Japan and Europe were going
to do all they could to stop their
economies from dragging everyone
else down with them.
I dont think its a surprise that we
came close to a correction. Weve been
expecting one for a while. I think the
bigger surprise has been how we rip-
roared all the way back up, said Bob
Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen
Asset Management. When you hit
someone over their head with a ham-
mer, you dont expect them to get up
immediately.
U. S. companies have been, for the
most part, reporting strong quarterly
results the last two weeks. Corporate
profits are up 7. 3 percent from a year
ago, according to FactSet, compared
with the 4. 5 percent investors had
expected at the beginning of the
month. And any worries about the U. S.
economy earlier in the month evapo-
rated as the data rolled in, mostly
recently Thursdays data showing the
U. S. economy grew at a 3. 5 percent
pace last quarter.
Fridays gains were driven by the
Bank of Japan, which surprised
investors by announcing it would
increase its bond and asset purchases
by 10 trillion yen to 20 trillion yen
($90. 7 billion to $181. 3 billion) to
about 80 trillion yen ($725 billion)
annually. The announcement came
after data showed that the worlds third-
largest economy remains in the dol-
drums, with household spending drop-
ping and unemployment ticking up.
Japans move comes only two days
after the U. S. Federal Reserve brought
an end to its own bond-buying pro-
gram. Investors have been hopeful
that the European Central Bank might
also start buying bonds to stimulate
that regions economy by keeping
interest rates low and injecting cash
into the financial system. That form
of stimulus is called quantitative eas-
ing, also known among investors as
QE.

Big movers

NEW YORK Wal-Mart is doing whatev-
er it takes to rope in holiday shoppers how-
ever they want to buy.
For the first time, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is
offering free shipping on what it considers
the seasons top 100 hottest gifts, from
board games to items related to Disneys hit
film Frozen items, starting Saturday. The
move comes as rival Target Corp. began
offering free shipping on all items, a pro-
gram that started late October and will last
through Dec. 20.
Wal-Mart is also planning to offer dis-
counts, or what it refers to as rollbacks, on
more than 20,000 items on a broad range of
products, from groceries to TVs, starting
Saturday. The timing is similar to last year,
but the discounter said the assortment is
broader. Its also pulling forward by nearly a
month 15 24-hour online deals originally
reserved for the Thanksgiving weekend and
so-called Cyber Monday, about double from
last year. For the first time, Wal-Mart will
allow shoppers to pick up those 24-hour
online specials at the store. They include 40-
inch Element TVs for $199, down from
$298, and Crayola Paint Makers for $12,
down from $18.88. Customers will be able
to purchase the deals online starting shortly
after midnight on Monday.
The online deals are in addition to several
hundred online holiday specials that start
Saturday.
Were trying to offer the best deals when
they want them, said Steve Bratspies, Wal-
Marts executive vice president and general
merchandise manager for Wal-Marts U.S.
division.
Wal-Mart unveiled some of the details of
its holiday strategy as it considers matching
online prices from competitors such as
Amazon.com, a move that could help grab
more customers but could also hurt profit
margins. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based
discounter has matched prices of local store
competitors but has not followed other
retailers including Best Buy and Target in
matching prices of online rivals. But last
month, Wal-Mart started to test the strategy
in five markets: Atlanta; Charlotte, North
Carolina; Dallas; Phoenix; and northwest
Arkansas.
Wal-Mart is trying to rev up sluggish sales
in the U.S. as it battles competition from
online retailers, dollar stores and drugstores.
At the same time, its also dealing with a
slowly recovering economy that hasnt ben-
efited its low-income shoppers. As a result,
Wal-Marts U. S. namesake stores, which
account for 60 percent of its total business,
havent reported growth in a key sales meas-
ure in six straight quarters.
Wal-Marts move underscores how stores
are being forced to step up their game for the
holiday shopping season, which accounts
for about 20 percent of retail industrys annu-
al sales. The National Retail Federation, the
nations largest retail trade group, forecasts a
4.1 percent sales increase to $616.9 billion
for November and December from last year.
But online sales, which are included in the
forecast, are expected to increase anywhere
from 8 percent to 11 percent.
Wal-Mart ups ante on holiday shopping

WASHINGTON U. S. consumer cut
spending in September for the first time in
eight months, as incomes grew at the slow-
est pace this year. The figures underscore
naggi ng economi c soft spot s t hat are
expected to ease in the coming months.
Consumer spending slipped 0. 2 percent
in September, the Commerce Department
reported Friday, the weakest performance
si nce an i dent i cal decl i ne i n January.
Income edged up 0. 2 percent in September
in the smallest monthly gain since a flat
reading last December.
Shoppers appeared to take a breather
after a big spending spree in August, which
l i ft ed consumer spendi ng 0. 5 percent .
Economi st s say Sept embers downt urn
shouldnt last, especially amid a strength-
ening job market and a growing economy.
Spending, which accounts for 70 percent
of economic activity, has fallen only three
times since the recession ended in 2009.
Economists blamed the weak September
spending figure on falling energy prices
and slower auto sales after a surge the pre-
vious month.
Ian Shepherdson, chi ef economi st at
Pant heon Macroeconomi cs, sai d he
expects consumer spending to accelerate to
a 2. 5 percent rate in the current October-
December quarter, faster than the 1. 8 per-
cent spending gain in the third quarter.
The next couple of months will see
spending pick up strongly as people start
to spend their windfall from falling gas
prices, Shepherdson said.
In September, spending on durable goods
such as autos dropped a sizable 2 percent
aft er a 2. 1 percent j ump i n August .
Spending on nondurable goods such as
clothing, food and gasoline, was down 0. 3
percent, while spending on services such
as doctors visits and utilities posted a
modest 0. 2 percent rise.
Lower prices at the pump mean con-
sumers will have more to spend on other
items.

WASHINGTON Call it drugs for the
departed: A quirky bureaucratic rule led
Medicares prescription drug program to
pay for costly medications even after the
patients were dead.
That head-scratching policy is now get-
ting a second look.
A report released Friday by the Health and
Human Services Departments inspector
general said the Medicare rule allows pay-
ment for prescriptions filled up to 32 days
after a patients death at odds with the
programs basic principles, not to mention
common sense.
Drugs for deceased beneficiaries are
clearly not medically indicated, which is a
requirement for (Medicare) coverage, the IG
report said. It urged immediate changes to
eliminate or restrict the payment policy.
Medicare said its working on a fix.
Investigators examined claims from 2012
for a tiny sliver of Medicare drugs med-
ications to treat HIV, the virus that causes
AIDS and then cross-referenced them
with death records. They found that the pro-
gram paid for drugs for 158 beneficiaries
after they were already dead. The cost to tax-
payers: $292, 381, an average of $1, 850 for
each beneficiary.
Medicares current practices allowed
most of these payments to occur, said the
report. It underscored that the problem
extends beyond HIV drugs.

Chevron beats 3Q profit forecasts
SAN RAMON Chevron Corp. on Friday
reported profit of $5.59 billion in its third
quarter. The San Ramon, California-based
company said it had profit of $2.95 per share.
The results exceeded Wall Street expecta-
tions. The average estimate of analysts sur-
veyed by Zacks Investment Research was for
earnings of $2.54 per share.
The oil company posted revenue of $54.68
billion in the period.
Chevron shares have declined 6 percent
since the beginning of the year, while the

nearly 8 percent. The stock has decreased
almost 3 percent in the last 12 months.
Herbalife eyes
settlement in federal lawsuit
LOS ANGELES Herbalife says it has
agreed to settle a lawsuit that claimed the
companys business structure and marketing
practices violated federal and state laws.
The weight loss and nutritional supple-
ments company did not elaborate in its state-
ment Friday on the terms of the proposed set-
tlement in the class-action case.
The lawsuit was filed in April 2013 in a
California federal court by a former salesman.
Herbalife Ltd. maintains it hasnt done any-
thing wrong and the lawsuit is meritless. It
says its seeking to settle the case in hopes of
avoiding the potential cost and distraction of
prolonged litigation.

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco
became the Valley of the Giants for the third
time in ve years Friday as tens of thou-
sands of people lined the streets for a con-
fetti and rain-soaked parade honoring the
citys World Series champions.
Under gray skies where a steady drizzle
mixed with clouds of orange, black and
white confetti shot from sidewalk cannons,
players waved, snapped photos and mugged
for the roaring crowds from the top of dou-
ble-decker buses, a change from the classic
convertibles and cable cars on wheels that
had transported them along their now-famil-
iar parade route in 2012 and 2010.

Pablo Sandoval, shown during the Giants
World Series parade, said he would like to
spend his entire career with the Giants.
Sandoval is a free agent this offseason.
Sandoval says
he wants to stay
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Pablo Sandoval
walked up the stairs as he brought up the rear
of yet another Giants victory parade and
immediately got stopped by home run king
Barry Bonds.
Dont walk by me, Bonds ordered,
pulling his fellow slugger into an embrace.
Sandoval insists he wants to play the rest
of his career for the San Francisco Giants,
and for moments just like this. Hes not
naming his price, not now.
I want to wear that jersey for the rest of
my career, Sandoval said. Im going to go
from what my heart tells me.
As the Giants parted ways for another
World Series-shortened offseason, the
biggest question is whether Sandoval will
be back in the orange and black to make
another run at a title.
San Franciscos slugging, switch-hitting
third baseman preferred to savor his third
World Series championship for a little while
rather than contemplating where he will be
suiting up come 2015.
Re-signing the Kung Fu Panda is a top pri-
ority for the franchise going forward, too
CEO Larry Baer said Pablos a huge part of
the family but it could take months to
strike a deal.
Were going to do anything possible to
keep it together the best we can, Baer said.
Literally, when that last shot of confetti
goes out, were going to be hunkered down
after today. I think the fans believe we have
a good track record along those lines. Weve
stayed pretty consistent in the approach
The 28-year-old Sandoval batted . 279
with 16 homers and 73 RBIs in 157 regular-
season games for the Giants and . 366 in the
postseason with seven doubles and five
RBIs, four of those during a seven-game
World Series win against Kansas City.
Id love to be back here, I love the fans, I
love my teammates, Sandoval said. They
taught me a lot of things, to respect the
game and play the game right.
The sides traded offers last spring but
failed to reach a deal. While Sandoval might
listen to the highest bidder, he declined to
answer when asked about accepting a home-
town discount. The Giants realize they

Sacred Heart Preps Andrew Daschbach rumbles 19 yards for a tourchdown during the Gators
31-21 PAL Bay Division win over Menlo-Atherton Friday afternoon.
Gators keep on rolling
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With the smashmouth reputation Sacred
Heart Prep football has garnered in recent
years, the slender frame of quarterback
Mason Randall has come under some scruti-
ny among college recruiters.
There are no concerns about his arm of the
6-2, 160-pound junior, however.
With the air of a rivalry game Friday at
Sacred Heart Prep in hosting Menlo-
Atherton, Randall rose to the occasion
completing 11 of 16 passes for 237 yards to
lead the Gators (4-0 in Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division, 8-0 overall) to a 31-
21 victory.
Hes kind of a skinny guy. I think they
think hes a little undersized. But hes
real l y good, SHP head coach Pet e
Lavorato said. He can play college foot-
ball. No doubt.
While the Gators star-studded running
game accounted for 170 rushing yards on
the afternoon, Randall posted the second
best game of his varsity career against M-
A (1-3, 2-6) . Earlier this season, on Sept.
19, he had his best career showing with
384 yards passing in a thrilling 27-21 win
over Salinas.
Randall has come a long way since his
varsity last season as a sophomore. He
totaled 1, 090 passing yards through 10 reg-
ular-season games in 2013. He surpassed
that total in the first half Friday and current-
ly has 1, 250 passing yards with two regu-
lar-season games to go.

When the phrase, hit a speed bump, is
used as a sports metaphor, its meant to
explain a momentary stumble, nothing too
damaging.
Since starting the season 4-0, the San
Mateo football has not hit a speed bump
it has run smack dab into a brick wall.
Since the Bearcats entered Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division play, they
have lost three straight, including a 42-25
loss to South City last week.
And the prospects of a fourth-straight
loss looms as the Bearcats host division
title-contender Aragon at 7 p. m. Saturday.
San Mateo coach Jeff Scheller doesnt
believe all is lost. Turnovers killed the
Bearcats chances in a 29-20 loss to Half
Moon Bay Oct. 10 and a 17-10 loss to
Hillsdale Oct. 17. He said he finally saw
signs of the team that won four in row dur-
ing the defeat against South City.
Between Half Moon Bay and Hillsdale
and nothing against those teams, they won

OAKLAND The Golden State Warriors
saw no reason to wait on securing Klay
Thompsons future with the franchise.
The Warriors signed Thompson to a four-
year maximum contract extension worth
about $70 million on Friday, a person with
knowledge of the deal said.
The person, who spoke to The Associated
Press on condition of anonymity because the
team does not disclose terms, also said there
is no opt-out clause for either side. The con-
tract will keep Thompson with the team
through the 2018-19 season.
The Warriors confirmed a multiyear deal
with Thompson. It was the final day for
Thompson and the team to get a deal done or
the shooting guard could become a restricted
free agent next summer, when the Warriors
wouldve had an opportunity to match any
offer sheet he signed.
Golden State decided not to risk the rela-
tionship turning sour in restricted free
agency or another team
putting a clause in an offer
sheet that mightve made
it difficult to match. And
Thompson and his agent,
Bill Duffy, got what they
wanted all along: a maxi-
mum deal and financial
security now.
Were excited to have
one of the top young
players in the NBAunder contract for the next
several years, Warriors general manager
Bob Myers said in a statement. Our owner-
ship group continues to demonstrate the
commitment necessary to build a champi-
onship caliber team and we anticipate that
Klay Thompson will play a major role in our
future success and accomplishments, both on
the floor and in the Bay Area community.
Myers and Thompson will hold a news con-
ference to formally announce the deal before
Saturday nights home opener against the
Los Angeles Lakers.
Golden State drafted Thompson out of
Washington State with the 11th overall pick
in 2011. He has become one of the NBAs top
two-way guards and teamed with fellow
Splash Brothers star Stephen Curry to form
one of the leagues best backcourts.
Thompson averaged 18. 4 points, 3. 1
rebounds and 2.2 assists last season, helping
the Warriors reach the playoffs for the second
straight year. He shot 44.4 percent from the
floor and 41.7 percent from 3-point range.
Curry congratulated Thompson for the
extension on Twitter, writing: Splash bros
continue.
The Warriors decided to build around the
tandem when they refused to include
Thompson in any trade talks with Minnesota
for Kevin Love this offseason, believing all
along that he and Curry could carry them to a
title on their streaky shooting strokes.
Thompson began to validate the decision
over the summer, dazzling during the FIBA
World Cup in Spain to help the U.S. win gold.
The payday will put more expectations on
Thompson, especially with fans still split
about losing Love to Cleveland, but he
appears ready for the challenge.
Thompson led the Warriors with 21. 7
points per game in the preseason, shooting
50.9 percent from the floor, including 50 per-
cent from beyond the arc. He also scored 19
points in Golden States season-opening 95-
77 win at Sacramento on Wednesday night.
First-year coach Steve Kerr, a former NBA
player and general manager with the Phoenix
Suns, said before the extension was
announced that Thompson never looked
affected by the negotiations.
It can definitely affect a player to think
about all that stuff, worry about injury, what-
ever. Im pretty confident in Klay that hes
just going to play, Kerr said.
Thompsons contributions go beyond
shooting and scoring.
At 6-foot-7 and 215 pounds, the lengthy
Thompson often defends the other teams
best guard. That includes covering everybody
from the Clippers Chris Paul to Lakers star
Kobe Bryant, taking pressure off teammates
on the perimeter, most notably the under-
sized Curry.

SANTACLARA When the 49ers play St.
Louis, and in this case for the second time in
three games, coach Jim Harbaugh demands an
extra level of concentration to guard against
trickery.
San Francisco counts on it from a Jeff
Fisher-coached team. The Rams bring it every
chance, whether ahead or trailing, and in every
phase.
Youve just got to be on high alert at all
times. Therell be an onside kick that comes
when theyre up 14-0, Harbaugh said.
Theres fakes in the punt return game. Theres
fakes in the punt game, in the kickoff return.
Makes us play at a higher awareness, high
alert.
While the 49ers are coming off their bye and
have only played once since last seeing the
Rams, St. Louis (2-5) is looking for ways to
rebound from a 34-7 loss at Kansas City.
Alot has happened since we played them
last, Fisher said. I think its a little different
for them because theyve only played one
game, compared to us where we played two.
St. Louis has lost offensive lineman Jake
Long and wide receiver Brian Quick to season-
ending injuries, forcing the Rams to regroup.
The 49ers (4-3), too, were beaten badly their
last time out, in a 42-17 defeat at Denver that
snapped San Franciscos three-game winning
streak.
Theyre counting on another strong per-
formance against the Rams, despite any wrin-
kles St. Louis shows this time.
Thats like every team, wide receiver
Michael Crabtree said. We just got through
playing them, so weve got to come back and
do the same thing. No matter what tricks they
put up weve just got to play.
Here are some things to watch for Sunday in
the Rams rst visit to new Levis Stadium:
Kaepernicks big day
After a rough day in Denver two weeks ago,
49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick needs to
return to the form he found in the rst meeting
with St. Louis.
He threw for 343 yards and three touch-
downs, putting the 49ers comeback into high
gear on an 80-yard strike to Brandon Lloyd.
They have a lot of different things they can
unveil, Kaepernick said. You just have to be
prepared for those.
Tale of two halves
Quarterback Austin Davis and the Rams
were on a roll against the 49ers when every-
thing fell apart. As well as these teams know
each other, Davis expected himself to respond
when San Francisco rallied.
They made some adjustments, Davis said.
I didnt really adjust to them as well as Id
have liked. If we have some success theyre
going to come with something else and we
have to counter that. It feels like that was one
that got away from us we should have had.
Boldins mark
49ers wideout Anquan Boldin needs four
receptions to become the 17th player in NFL
history to reach 900 catches. He would do so
in 164 games, the third-fastest in league his-
tory behind Marvin Harrison (149) and Andre
Johnson (150).
Boldin made seven catches for 94 yards and
a touchdown the rst time against the Rams.
For St. Louis, tight end Lance Kendricks
looks to become the rst Rams player with a
touchdown catch in four straight games since
Torry Holt in 2006.
Martins debut, Robinsons job
Rookie Marcus Martin is set to make his
NFL debut as San Franciscos starting center,
replacing injured Daniel Kilgore. His team-
mates and coaches have been impressed how
he stayed up to speed in the seasons rst half
while recovering from a dislocated left
kneecap sustained in the preseason.
Martin will line up against talented rookie
nose tackle Aaron Donald.
I went against some talented nose guards
and some talented front sevens in Stanford and
Notre Dame, Martin said. But nothing like
these guys were about to face.
Replacing Long, out with his second
straight season-ending knee injury, at left
tackle for the Rams will be rookie Greg
Robinson. He was the No. 2 overall draft pick
last spring.
Somewhat it is natural. I just feel more
comfortable out there, but its going to be a
learning process also, Robinson said. It
wont take long.
Tricky Rams
While teams prepare for the Rams trickery,
Fisher said St. Louis will still aim for an ele-
ment of surprise when the timing is right.
Six days after losing to San Francisco, the
Rams used two long returns and a punt fake to
beat Seattle
Were going to game plan on special teams
the same way we do offensively and defensive-
ly, Fisher said. If we think we have an
opportunity to do something unusual, then
thats up to me to make that decision. Were
going to try and win ballgames however we
can. If it means something unconventional in
that phase of the game, then so be it.

second time in 3 weeks

SEATTLE The chatter broke through all
the barriers the Seattle Seahawks tried to put
up.
The noise coming from the outside about
their issues was adding to a rare two-game
losing streak for a team that supposedly
impervious to those problems.
And then relief arrived in the form of last
weeks late comeback victory over Carolina
and the opportunity at returning to whats
become normal for the Seahawks.
When youre losing and coach is on you
. . . that can put a little pressure on you,
Seattle linebacker K. J. Wright said. When
you finally get that win, everybody gets
relieved and gets back to normal and just
know that were a good football team and
start stacking these wins on top of each
other.
Normal for the Seahawks (4-3) would be
keeping Oakland (0-7) winless when the
former AFC West foes meet Sunday. The
Seahawks play their next two games at
home and any wiggle room Seattle had is
gone.
Seattle is two games behind Arizona in
the NFC West and aware of what lies ahead.
After hosting the Raiders and New York
Giants, Seattle begins a brutal six-week
stretch including four games against
Arizona and San Francisco.
Seattle is in no position to overlook any-
one and only needs to think back almost
one-year to the day for a reminder. Equally
winless Tampa Bay made a visit to Seattle
last November and jumped out to a 21-0
lead. The Seahawks rallied in the second
half to force overtime and won 27-24 on
Steven Hauschkas 27-yard field goal.
Its been referenced by many this week.
That example has been a really big
example for us, Seattle coach Pete Carroll
said.
Oaklands hopes ride with the continued
growth of rookie QB Derek Carr, coming off
a career-high 328 yards passing last week
against Cleveland.
The Raiders have been competitive most
of the season, but when one problem gets
fixed another pops up. Last week, the
Raiders were able to get off the field on third
downs defensively, only to commit three
turnovers.
The frustration of the team is that we
work hard, we work hard at practice, and we
see ourselves getting better over the last
three weeks. But we dont have the valida-
tion of our work right now by getting a
win, interim Oakland coach Tony Sparano
said.
Here are other things to watch as the
Seahawks and Raiders meet in the regular
season for the first time since 2010:
Carr ride
While there is little to be taken from a
preseason start, Carr did have success
against Seattle once this year already. In the
final week of the preseason, Carr threw for
three touchdowns and led the Raiders to
touchdowns on their first four possessions
against Seattle.
The regular season has been far bumpier.
Oaklands lack of a run game ranking
32nd in the NFL has not helped take any
relief off Carr having to carry the offense.
Hes not shying away from the challenge of
playing in Seattle.
Obviously, they say this place is the
loudest, so Im actually excited to hear it
and be a part of it, Carr said.
Stronger start
Russell Wilson and Seattles offense are
taking too long to get started. In the past
three games, Seattle has scored nine first-
half points on offense.
Against Carolina, the Seahawks didnt get
their initial first down until their third drive
and finished the first half with only 24
offensive plays and three points.
Linebacker shuffle
Seattle is expected to shuffle its lineback-
ers with rookie Brock Coyle likely to start
in the middle and K. J. Wright moving back
to the outside. Wright had started the past
two games in the middle with Bobby
Wagner out with a toe injury. Now its
Coyles turn in the middle. Fellow rookie
Kevin Pierre-Louis is expected to get snaps
at outside linebacker after playing well
against Carolina.
Mack Attack
For as well as rookie Khalil Mack has
played so far, hes still looking for his first
NFL sack. One of Macks strengths coming
out of college was his ability to get to the
quarterback. Mack had 28 1/2 sacks at
Buffalo, but Oaklands pass rush problem
isnt isolated to Mack. The Raiders have
just seven sacks.
Needing a boom
Seattles vaunted secondary got just its
third interception last week, but All-Pros
Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas are still
shut out. Through seven games last season,
Sherman and Thomas had combined for
seven interceptions. They should get a
chance this week after Carr attempted 54
passes against Cleveland.
Seahawks to host former AFC West rival Raiders
MLB free agency is
already fast and furious
NEW YORK A. J. Burnett and the
Philadelphia Phillies both declined their
$15 million mutual option Friday, leaving
the pitcher to decide whether to exercise his
$12. 75 million player option.
The 37-year-old Burnett went 8-18 with a
4. 59 ERA in 34 starts during his first season
with the Phillies and has said he isnt sure
whether he wants to pitch next season. He
has until Monday to decide on the player
option.
Ten more players became free agents
Friday, raising the total to 130, and up to 13
more could join them by Monday, depend-
ing on option decisions.
Right-hander Yovani Gallardos $13 mil-
lion option was exercised by the Milwaukee
Brewers, who also exercised their half of
third baseman Aramis Ramirezs $14 mil-
lion option. Ramirez has until Monday to
decide on his half of the mutual option.
Milwaukee voided Rickie Weeks $11. 5
million salary for 2015, making the second
baseman eligible for free agency. The
Brewers had the right to void the salary
because Weeks did not have 1, 200 plate
appearances in 2013-14 combined, with at
least 600 this year.
Tampa Bay exercised a $7. 5 million
option on infielder-outfielder Ben Zobrist, a
two-time All-Star who is set to become the
first player to spend 10 seasons with the
Rays.
Baltimore declined a $17. 5 million mutu-
al option on outfielder Nick Markakis, who
gets a $2 million buyout, and a $5 million
option on catcher Nick Hundley. Boston
declined a $4 million option on left-handed
reliever Craig Breslow.
The Los Angeles Dodgers declined a $14
million option on right-hander Chad
Billingsley, who gets a $3 million buyout.
Baseball brief
when we can t hrow, t hat s j ust more for
us.
Considering the first two passes Randall
threw against M-A went for incompletions,
its remarkable he only totaled five incom-
pletions on the day. His two misses came
consecutively to open the Gators first pos-
session, but the persistent quarterback
exacted a 13-yard completion to wide
receiver Nick ODonnell to move the
chains.
SHP set a tempo from there, gaining stur-
dy yards by ground before Randall found
ODonnell again, this time for an 18-yard
gain, to advance the ball to the M-A 4-yard
line. Two plays later, senior halfback Riley
Tinsley took a sweep around the left side for
a 2-yard score, giving the Gators a 6-0 lead.
Were a pretty good running team and M-
A knows that, Randall said. I think
they figured [we] were going to run the ball
more than [we] usually do. But we threw the
ball when we had the chance. And when
were down on the goal line, we have some
great running backs and they do a great job
of getting in there.
Following M-As second three-and-out
possession of the game, SHP showed exact-
ly how good a running team it is. The Gators
took over at their own 40-yard line and pro-
ceeded to mount a seven-play, 60-yard
drive, all by virtue of the ground game.
University of Washington-bound senior
Ben Burr-Kirven quickly pounded the ball
downfield. He touched the ball for the first
time on second-and-short from the 49-yard
line and broke a 25-yard gainer into Bears
territory. Burr-Kirven would later pick up
consecutive gains of 12, 6 and 2 yards. The
latter went for a touchdown dive right
through the middle of the M-A line to give
the Gators a 13-0 lead.
The Gators and Bears would seesaw on the
scoreboard from there into the fourth quar-
ter.
Theyre awesome, M-A head coach
Sione Taufoou said. Theyre well
coached, theyre disciplined, they play well
together. They play for each other. Its awe-
some.
M-Aanswered back with a 13-play, 65-yard
drive with running back Stavro Papadakis
seeing a brunt of the carries. The sophomore
paced the Bears with 52 yards on 12 carries in
the game, and saw seven of those carries on
that initial scoring drive. Quarterback Robby
Beardsley ultimately pounded the ball into the end zone on a 1-yard sneak midway
through the second quarter to cut SHPs lead
to 13-7.
The score would remain the same heading
into halftime, but SHP struck swiftly to
open the second half. Randall produced a
37-yard completion to Tinsley to advance
the ball to the M-A 2-yard line. Then
Randall made a bit of magic after fumbling
the snap by scooping up the ball and scam-
pering into the end zone for the score, giv-
ing SHP a 19-7 lead.
M-A came right back with a scoring drive,
which saw sophomore Jordan Mims spark
the first play with a 23-yard gain. The Bears
later faced a fourth-and-6 from the Gators
32-yard line, but Papadakis grinded out a
first down to extend the drive. The Bears
ultimately drove 70 yards on 17 plays,
capped by another Beardsley 1-yard keeper
to close SHPs lead to 19-13.
But SHP fired right back. Facing a first-
and-25 from its own 31-yard line after a
penalty, SHP got a 45-yard completion
from Randall to Burr-Kirven to advance into
the red zone. Two plays later, Randall hit
tight end Andrew Daschbach on a cross
route which went for a 19-yard touchdown to
give the Gators a 25-13 cushion.
The Gators lengthened their lead to 31-13
midway through the fourth quarter on Burr-
Kirvens second score of the game, a 3-yard
run. M-A closed out the days scoring on a
40-yard touchdown pass from Beardsley to
Chase DelRosso.
Still undefeated with two regular-season
games to go, Sacred Heart Prep has a Central
Coast Section Open Division playoff berth
in its sights. The Gators have never before
played in the top-tier Open Division, which
comes by virtue of winning the PAL Bay
Division title outright, or winning a
tiebreaker in a co-championship scenario
as Terra Nova did over SHP two years ago.
But the Gators have a tall task up next in
a battle of unbeatens as they travel to
Burlingame Friday, Nov. 7 at 7 p. m.
One game at a time, Lavorato said. Our
goal is to get into the playoffs, because the
playoffs is one more game. Thats what its
all about one more game. We like play-
ing football.
Burlingame 38, Sequoia 13
Laipeli Palu ran for two touchdowns and
quarterback Avery Gindraux accounted for
two more one rushing and one passing
as Burlingame (4-0, 8-0) rode a big second
half to get past Sequoia (0-4, 2-6). The
Panthers went into halftime leading 17-13,
but outscored the Cherokees 21-0 in the sec-
ond half.
A week after rushing for a career-high 176
yards against Terra Nova, Palu was on his
way to another big night before departing
in the first half with an injury. The junior
ran for 76 yards on six carries. Griffin
Intrieri ranked second for the Panthers with
61 yards on 10 carries. Gindraux was 14-of-
17 passing for 154 yards and rushed for
another 41.
In other PAL Bay Division action, Terra
Nova (2-2, 3-5) prevailed over Menlo
School (1-2, 4-4) in a slugfest 56-42.
SPORTS 14
the game but we had seven turnovers in
those two games and we lost by single-digit
points, Scheller said. Those were emo-
tional losses for us.
Aragon is . . . another emotional game.
Despite the 17-point loss to South City
last week, Scheller thought his team had
turned the corner.
South City, even though we lost, we
played a good game, didnt turn the ball
over, Scheller said.
Scheller said South Citys size and physi-
cality on its offensive line posed a problem
early for his defense, but he liked how it
responded. That experience should come in
handy facing an Aragon squad that also fea-
tures a big, physical offensive front.
They got some confidence against South
City, Scheller said. Aragon is just as big.
Aragon has a history of being a big, physi-
cal line, but we got a taste of it with South
City. I think we did OK. I think we got
something (productive) out of there.
Aragon (2-0, 7-0) is one of three teams in
the PAL with undefeated records along
with Bay Division teams Burlingame and
Sacred Heart Prep. The Dons are coming off
a 34-14 win over Half Moon Bay and feature
one of the most balanced offenses in the
PAL.
Sophomore running back VA Wilson
gives the Dons a consistent 100-yard rush-
ing threat and Tyee Stockman can score any
time he touches the ball while quarterback
Billy Mason and his receiving corps gives
Aragon a legitimate aerial attack as well.
San Mateos biggest goal is to not fall
behind too much, too early. Scheller said
with double-digit halftime deficits against
Half Moon Bay and Hillsdale, he had to go
away from what the Bearcats want to do
run the ball and control the clock. They
cant do that if theyre playing catch up.
Were a grind-it-out team and when
youre behind, you have to change your
game plan a little bit, Scheller said. Were
kind of stuck in getting out of our game
plan.
The Bearcats will keep it close if they can
get running back Watson Filikitonga into a
rhythm early. When hes going well, San
Mateo is going well. He rushed for 104
yards on 16 carries against South City.
Quarterback Line Latu is the Bearcats wild
card. The Aragon defense will have to
account for Latu, who although he lines up
at quarterback, spent his sophomore and
junior years as one of the best running
backs in the PAL.
If we play mistake free, I feel like we can
compete with most teams. Were right in
it, Scheller said.

CHICAGO Right after Joe Maddon
opted out of his contract with Tampa Bay, the
Chicago Cubs were mentioned as a possible
landing spot for one of baseballs best man-
agers.
Flush with prospects and ready to make a
splash in free agency, the Cubs already had a
manager in Rick Renteria. But they just
couldnt resist the lure of Maddons sudden
availability.
Looking for a turnaround after five consec-
utive losing seasons, the Cubs announced
Friday that they had hired Maddon to replace
Renteria after just one year on the job. The
move pairs the respected Maddon with a
promising roster and a franchise with far
more resources than he ever enjoyed with the
small-market Rays.
Renteria was fired after leading Chicago to
a 73-89 record in his only season as a major
league manager. It was a seven-win improve-
ment from 2013, the last of Dale Sveums
two years in charge, but not close to reaching
the playoffs or putting the Cubs in position
to win their first World Series title since
1908.
Maddon who may be as well suited as
anyone in the industry to manage the chal-
lenges that lie ahead of us had become a
free agent, Cubs
President Theo Epstein
said in a statement.
We saw it as a unique
opportunity and faced a
clear dilemma: be loyal to
Rick or be loyal to the
organization. In this
business of trying to win
a world championship for
the first time in 107
years, the organization has priority over any
one individual. We decided to pursue Joe.
Epstein said the Cubs were transparent at
all times with Renteria once Maddon became
available two weeks ago.
Rick often said he was the beneficiary of
the hard work of others who came before
him, he said. Now, in the young players
he helped, we reap the benefits of his hard
work as we move forward. He deserved better
and we wish him nothing but the best.
Renterias agent, Ken Solomon, declined
comment. He also said Renteria will not
comment.
With Renteria in the dugout, first base-
man Anthony Rizzo and shortstop Starlin
Castro each had a rebound season, and
young sluggers Javier Baez and Jorge Soler
were among a group of prospects who
showed considerable promise in their first
major league action.
Now its up to Maddon to help that core
group of young players to continue to
improve, while paving the way for another
wave of heralded prospects that includes third
baseman Kris Bryant and shortstop Addison
Russell.
Its a familiar situation for the 60-year-old
Hazleton, Pennsylvania native, who deftly
guided several young Rays rosters into con-
tention in the rugged AL East.
Maddon opted out of his contract with
Tampa Bay after Andrew Friedman left the
Rays front office to take over the Los
Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 14.
Maddons free agency created a buzz during
the World Series, with the talk centering on
where he might go and all the possibilities
for his new job.
The answer became public just two days
after San Franciscos Game 7 win over the
Royals, with Maddon becoming Chicagos
fifth manager since the start of the 2010 sea-
son and the 54th in the history of the woebe-
gone franchise.
Maddon had a 754-705 record in nine sea-
sons in Tampa Bay, leading the club to four
playoff appearances, two AL East titles and a
five-game loss to Philadelphia in the 2008
World Series.
The two-time AL Manager of the Year was
the bench coach for six seasons under Angels
manager Mike Scioscia before he was hired
by Tampa Bay in November 2005.
While the addition of Maddon is a coup for
president of baseball operations Epstein and
general manager Jed Hoyer, the quick hook
for Renteria could turn into a problem for the
front office down the road.
Renteria had two years left on the contract
he signed with the Cubs last November, and
the inevitable turnover on the major league
staff could affect Chicagos ability to attract
quality coaches.
Renteria, who was the bench coach in San
Diego before he got his first opportunity to
be a big league manager, already was looking
at a different staff for his second year.
Hitting coach Bill Mueller resigned after
Epstein announced that Mike Brumley would
not return as assistant hitting coach. John
Mallee, a Chicago native, was hired to
replace Mueller, Eric Hinske shifted to assis-
tant hitting coach and former Cubs outfielder
Doug Dascenzo was hired as first base and
outfield coach.
Now their fate is unclear. Same for pitching
coach Chris Bosio, who has drawn praise for
his work with Jake Arrieta and a couple other
pitchers who were traded away by the Cubs
after they rebounded until the tutelage of the
former major leaguer.
Cubs hire Maddon as manager, fire Renteria
Joe Maddon
By John Marshall
The story seems to be the same every sea-
son at Kentucky: Lose star players to the
NBA, replace them with another group of one-
and-doners, compete for a national champi-
onship.
The Wildcats changed the script this sea-
son: This year, the fabulous freshmen will be
surrounded by other former McDonalds All-
Americans who played for the NCAAtitle just
seven months ago a team so deep and tal-
ented that coach John Calipari is considering
a platoon system.
Kentucky was the runaway No. 1 in The
Associated Press preseason Top 25 released
Friday, becoming the fourth program to earn
the honor in consecutive seasons.
Its something for our kids to live up to,
Calipari said. At the end of the day, youve
got to play the games and figure it out.
Kentucky earned 52 first-place votes from
the 65-member panel in landing its fourth pre-
season No. 1. The Wildcats also were No. 1 in
1995-96, when they won the national cham-
pionship, and in 1980-81.
Kentucky joins UCLA(1966-60, 1971-74),
UNLV (1990-91) and North Carolina (2008-
09) to be named preseason No. 1 consecutive
seasons since the AP poll started in 1961-62.
Arizona is ranked No. 2 and received five
first-place votes after adding a strong recruit-
ing class to a team that came within seconds
of reaching the Final Four last season.
Wisconsin, which returns most of last sea-
sons Final Four team, has its highest presea-
son ranking ever at No. 3. The Badgers
received eight first-place votes, but are 35
points behind Arizona in the poll.
No. 4 Duke added a strong recruiting class
headed by Jahlil Okafor. Reloaded Kansas is
No. 5, with North Carolina, Florida,
Louisville, Virginia and Texas rounding out
the top 10. Virginia is in the preseason top 10
for the first time since Ralph Sampsons sen-
ior season in 1982-83, when it was No. 1.
I think there are probably seven teams that
all could be No. 1 in the country, Calipari
said.
Wichita State, a Final Four team two sea-
sons ago, is No. 11, followed by Villanova,
Gonzaga, Iowa State, Virginia
Commonwealth, San Diego State, defending
national champion Connecticut, Michigan
State, Oklahoma and Ohio State.
Rounding out the Top 25 are Nebraska,
SMU, Syracuse, Michigan, Harvard and Utah.
Theyll all be chasing Kentucky, at least at
the start.
The Wildcats were No. 1 heading into last
season after Coach Cal pulled the strings on
another best-in-the-nation recruiting class.
They lived up to expectations, too, overcom-
ing a midseason slump to reach the national
championship game, where they lost 60-54
to UConn.
But a funny thing happened during the off-
season: Instead of all those freshman packing
up for the NBAafter one season, most decided
to stick around.
Kentucky lost forward Julius Randle and
guard James Young to the NBA. In a bit of a
surprise, twin guards Aaron and Andrew
Harrison decided to return after their freshman
seasons and junior 7-footer Willie Cauley-
Stein decided to stick around, too.
With forwards Alex Poythress and Marcus
Lee, along with 7-footer Dakari Johnson also
coming back, the Wildcats were going to be in
good shape regardless of what the recruiting
class looked like.
But, of course, this is Kentucky and more
star recruits made their way to Lexington: for-
wards Karl-Anthony Towns and Trey Lyles,
guards Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis.
The Wildcats are 12 deep, talented and con-
fident.
We are far ahead of last year, Andrew
Harrison said.
But theyre far from the only team with a
shot at the title.
Arizona was a last-second shot away from
reaching the Final Four last season, an
impressive run considering versatile forward
Brandon Ashley sat out the final 16 games
with a foot injury. Hes healthy and leads a

How do Millennials Buy a Home? Part 2 of 3
Can Millennials buy a home in this booming real estate market? Another possibility
for purchasing is to obtain assistance from family members, like parents, to provide a
gift for down payment monies or to even partner up with their children to purchase a
home. Assuming that the child (now adult) has a good paying job and has been in the
job for at least 2 years, maybe some stock options and very little long term or credit
card debt, then purchasing a home should be a priority. In the San Mateo and Santa
Clara Counties, the long term prospect
for continued increase in value of a
primary home over the long term of no
less than 10 years, is very plausible.
Owning your own home puts you on the
path to financial security in the future,
plus instead of paying rent to a landlord,
you are paying yourself to live in a
home. There are also tax benefits of
interest and property tax deductions on
your tax return that you could be
eligible to take, depending on your tax
situation. There is nothing like getting
the keys to your first home!

These guys play together, they believe in
each other, they play as one and they never give
up, baseball Hall of Famer Willie McCovey
said as he waited to greet the young members of
his former team for a ceremony at San Francisco
City Hall, the end of the 2-mile route. Thats
the way this team has been for years.
Elated fans of all ages, some of whom had
staked out viewing spots hours before the spec-
tacles noon start time, pressed against metal
barriers, stood on rooftops and climbed onto
street lamps festooned with orange, black and
white balloons, to cheer their hometown
heroes.
Many skipped work and pulled their children
out of class against the pleas of local schools so
they could catch what they described as a
glimpse of history.
Im going to send them to school on
Monday saying they had orange fever, said
Marcela Habash, 36, of San Francisco, who
brought three of her four children to the plaza
outside City Hall to see the celebration.
While other players doubled up on the buses,
the days undisputed giant among Giants, pitch-
ing ace Madison Bumgarner, was given his own
atbed truck to ride. It was adorned with a sign
indicating his Most Valuable Player honors
from both the World Series and the National
League championship.
Deafening roars and chants of M-V-P! M-V-
P! greeted the soft-spoken pitcher as he held
both of his trophies aloft. Samuel Manongdo,
9, joined the chorus and waved his hands as
Bumgarner went by.
It had to be done, the boys 22-year-old
brother, Jonathan, said of Samuels sanctioned
hooky. This is a baseball dynasty.
A second pickup carried the Giants World
Series trophies from 2012 and 2010, while
manager Bruce Bochy beamed from atop a dou-
ble-decker bus bearing this years trophy.
Corporate sponsors livened up the parade
route with elaborately decked-out oats that
included a panda-themed homage to slugger and
2012 World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval, whose
nickname is Kung-Fu Panda. Former Journey
lead singer Steve Perry stepped down from a
oat blaring his anthem Dont Stop Believin
to offer animated high-ves to fellow die-hard
San Francisco fans.
Dignitaries such as Giants legend Willie
Mays, team president Larry Baer, U.S. Rep.
Nancy Pelosi, Mayor Ed Lee and Lt. Gov. Gavin
Newsom, who was San Franciscos mayor when
the Giants won the Series in 2010, rode in con-
vertibles.
Elsewhere along the route, teenage girls with
cellphones held high shrieked as shortstop and
team heartthrob Brandon Crawford rolled by.
San Jose high school senior Jessica Earnshaw
snapped off several pictures of Crawford.
Hes my favorite, she said. By far.
Neither city ofcials nor the police offered an
ofcial estimate of how many people attended
the festivities, although Police Chief Greg Suhr
said the number of ofcers on the streets Friday
was at least 20 percent higher than usual, with
police dogs helping with security.
Although the weather undeniably kept a lot of
people away, neither parade-goers nor the fans
offered any sign they were taking the moment
for granted.
Veteran pitcher Tim Hudson, who is in his
rst season with the Giants, twirled an orange
towel over his head to wild cheers. Two buses
later, right-elder and unofcial team cheer-
leader Hunter Pence, wearing a replica wrestling
championship belt, threw his hands up and lead
fans in several choruses of lets go, Giants!
Closing pitcher Santiago Casilla, held a sign
that said Jesus Loves You.
Star reliever Sergio Romo lifted up his jacket
several times to reveal a T-shirt that read, I have
issues. During the 2012 parade, Romo raised
eyebrows and drew cheers with a T-shirt bearing
the message, I just look illegal.
The parade was a rst for Ana Gonzalez, 43,
who rose before the sun to drive to San
Francisco from her suburban Bay Area home.
With the parade falling on Halloween, as it
did two years ago, she and other parents had to
choose between celebrating their team and
attending school events.
I asked the kids if they wanted to go to their
Halloween parade or the Giants, Gonzalez said.
And they said, Lets go see the Giants!
PARADE
might have to open the pocketbook to beat
out clubs like big-spending Boston to bring
him back.
San Franciscos $164. 7 million season-
ending payroll sixth-highest in the
majors will go up slightly, and again
next season. World Series MVP Madison
Bumgarner receives bonuses of $100, 000
for his World Series MVP and $75, 000 for
the NLCS MVP.
San Francisco did it again in improbable
fashion, finishing the season with 88 wins
for second place in the NL West behind the
rival Los Angeles Dodgers and then win-
ning the wild-card game at Pittsburgh.
The Giants celebrated with another star-
studded affair featuring Hall of Famers
Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Gaylord
Perry, Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal, and
Bonds.
Left-handed reliever Jeremy Affeldt was
still overjoyed by the fact he received the
Game 7 victory after an official scoring
change that had initially given Bumgarner
the win.
Affeldt was drafted by the Royals and once
considered quitting during his time in
Kansas City, before getting a new start with
the Giants.
When he got word he was credited with the
win, Affeldt and his wife embraced and cried.
When they came up to me and told me
they changed it, it was just a very emotion-
al thing, Affeldt said, surrounded by his
wife and three sons. Kansas City, they
gave me a chance to be in the big leagues
and Im very thankful for that. I had a lot
good experiences there, but I had a lot of
pain, too, adversity and frustration and just
wondering if I wanted to be a baseball play-
er. . . . Its not just a normal win and its not
just a normal situation, so I was pretty
pumped about that.
Other free agents are starting pitchers
Jake Peavy and Ryan Vogelsong, reliever
Sergio Romo and left fielder Michael
Morse.
The Giants have a reputation for doing all
they can to retain their biggest stars, from
second baseman Marco Scutaro and center
fielder Angel Pagan after the 2012 title, to
long-term deals for ace pitchers Bumgarner
and Matt Cain.
Affeldt received an $18 million, three-
year contract after the championship two
years ago. He trusts general manager Brian
Sabean and the front office to make the best
decisions.
Obviously, weve got three rings in five
years, the guy knows what hes doing,
Affeldt said.
SANDOVAL
49ers LB Willis to
be game time decision
SANTA CLARA Patrick
Willis, who missed the 49ers loss
in Denver two weeks ago with a
big toe injury,
will be a game-
time decision
Sunday when
San Francisco
hosts the St.
Louis Rams.
Willis, third
on the team
with 49 tack-
les, says Friday
he still feels
pain but is getting better every
day.
While Willis does not suffer
from turf toe, a severe injury that
sidelined cornerback Tramaine
Brock for five games and who
remains questionable this week,
the injury does affect everything
Willis every time he takes a step.
Rookie linebacker Chris
Borland started in place of Willis
against the Broncos and will fill
the void again should Willis be
unable to go.
Raiders may be without
starting CB Carlos Rogers
ALAMEDA The Oakland
Raiders are expected to be without
cornerback Carlos Rogers for
Sundays game against Russell
Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks.
Rogers has started 55 consecu-
tive games since 2010 but has
been bothered by a sore knee this
season. He has not practiced this
week and is doubtful on the teams
injury report.
Its another blow to the NFLs
31st-ranked defense, which has
been plagued by injuries and poor
play. The winless Raiders have
already lost three defensive
starters defensive end LaMarr
Woodley, middle linebacker Nick
Roach and strong safety Tyvon
Branch to season-ending
injuries.
Interim coach Tony Sparano said
Friday hes holding out hope that
the 33-year-old Rogers can play
despite not practicing for most of
the past two weeks. Sparano
declined to name a possible
replacement.
Ex-band member guilty in
drum majors hazing death
ORLANDO, Fla. A former
Florida A&M band member accused of
being the ringleader of a brutal hazing
ritual known as Crossing Bus C
that killed a drum major was convict-
ed Friday of manslaughter and felony
hazing.
Dante Martin, 27, was the first to
stand trial in the November 2011
death of 26-year-old Robert
Champion aboard a band bus parked
outside a football game where the
well-regarded Marching 100 band had
performed. The case brought into
focus the culture of hazing in the
band, which was suspended for more
than a year while officials tried to
clean up the program.
Martin was known as the presi-
dent of Bus C, witnesses testified,
and he organized the initiations that
required fellow band members to try
to make their way through a pounding
gauntlet of fists, drumsticks and mal-
lets from the front of the bus to the
back, including on that November
day. Two other band members went
through the bus before Champion,
who was from Decatur, Georgia.
Martin was convicted of misde-
meanor hazing counts in their beat-
ings.
The jury deliberated for about an
hour before delivering its verdict.
Martins sentencing was set for
Jan. 9. Manslaughter is punishable
by up to 15 years in prison in Florida.
The hazing conviction means he
could spend up to 22 years in jail.

nter to grow in wisdom, reads
the gates of Harvard
University. This school,
located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is
second to none when it comes to prestige.
Harvard is the quintes-
sential American dream,
but with an admissions
rate of less than 6 per-
cent, not many experi-
ence it. Every summer,
however, Harvard holds
a program for about
1, 200 high school stu-
dents from around the
world that allows them
to take classes at the school and live in the
dorms for seven weeks.
College can be a scary thought for jun-
iors and seniors, as we are so accustomed to
living at home in comfort. We worry about
how we will balance coursework, live in
dorms with communal bathrooms and gen-
erally how we will survive on our own in
the big scary world. Summer programs such
as the Secondary School Program at
Harvard give kids a chance to not only
experience college life, but have life-
changing experiences they will carry with
them forever.
As soon as I walked onto campus, I felt
the sense of belonging, said Katie
McMahon, a senior from Long Island, New
York. This is my school. These are my
people. I couldnt have imagined a better
way to spend my summer.
Courses offered are varied, from neurobi-
ology to beginning fiction to intermediate
French. The high school students sit along-
side Harvard undergraduates and are taught
by Harvard professors, which helps them
become accustomed to the rigor of an Ivy
League level class. Students are encouraged
to take advantage of the multiple resources
the school has to offer. The Writing Center
is always available to read essays by
appointment, and the Widener Library (the
second largest library in the world) is just
one of many libraries available for study
and research. Professors hold office hours
weekly, and are ready and willing to help.
There are some difficulties with dorm liv-
ing. The dorms are not air conditioned,
which can get pretty tough in the summer,
and most bathrooms are communal. One
shower shared between six girls can get a
little crazy, but its all part of the experi-

LOS ANGELES Written, directed and
edited by Jean-Luc Godard, the fragmented
French drama Goodbye to Language 3-D
explores a relationships dynamics through
three-dimension technology.
A dog. An often naked couple. A ship
docking. 3-D in your eye. A snippet of
Beethoven. Blood down a bathtub drain. A
big TV screen. Literary quotations. Lots of
Hitler. Cars on snowy roads. A snippet of
Schoenberg. Book titles. A pen scratching.
A couple talking while a man poops with
sound effects. I am here to tell you no. And
to die.
Cobbling together these and other frag-
ments of images, sound, music and words in
ways that evince no surface logic and are
often grating (probably intentionally) in
how they interact, this is Jean-Luc Godard at
83 one of the last lions of the French
New Wave still standing. Hes recognizably
himself but arguably less coherent in intent
and concerns than in his last feature, Film
Socialisme. which premiered at Cannes in
2010. Since winning his honorary Oscar,
Godard is obviously on cruise control.
It doesnt take more than a few moments
to know who made Goodbye to Language
(Adieu au langage). There are the bold,
abrupt titles, in 3-D, sometimes superim-
posed over one another. Very loud blasts of
music abruptly assert themselves and are as
sharply cut off. Books by authors carefully
curated Dostoyevsky, Pound are
shown front and center, film clips featuring
Jean Arthur and Miriam Hopkins turn up,
the trio of Lord Byron, Percy Shelley and
the latters wife, Mary Shelley (the author
of Frankenstein), abruptly appear in early
19th-century costume at the end, followed
only by the last of countless dog shots. If
this proves to be Godards final feature, let
it be noted that the last image here is of a
dog.
With voiceovers supplied by numerous
actors, seen and unseen, as well as by the
filmmaker himself, there are seemingly ran-
dom (and unprovocative by Godards old
standards) ruminations about Hitler having
done everything he promised to do and soci-

Our planet isnt in very good shape. The
good news, according to Sid Meiers
Civilization: Beyond Earth (2K Games,
for the PC, $49. 99), is that well be able to
hang around for another 500 years or so.
The bad news: After that, wed better start
looking for a new home.
Its not the freshest sci-fi premise
Interstellar has essentially the same
setup but it gives Meier and his Firaxis
Games studio a chance to expand the
beloved Civilization franchise to entirely
new worlds. Its a mostly successful trans-
plant, though at times I wished its scope
was even more cosmic.

sponsors. The United States, Canada and
Mexico are now part of the American

MISAKO KAMBE AND BEAUTY OF
WOOD FIRE IN MENLO PARK. The
Portola Art Gallery presents Beauty of
Wood Fire carved ceramic creations by
Misako Kambe of Menlo Park. How do
these works of art come into existence?
Kambe begins by hand carving her artwork
using a variety of techniques. Next, natural
wood ashes produced during the firing
process are deposited onto the carved, tex-
tured ceramic surface, making various
effects. Each firing produces a unique result,
depending on the design of kiln, season,
temperature, humidity, density of the load-
ing, quality of the wood and the people who
do the firing. Beauty of Wood Fire includes
Kambes recent ceramics produced by wood
firing at two kiln sites, one in Hikari-
gama-kiln in Elkton, Oregon, and the
other in Spring Valley Anagama in
Milpitas, California. The public is invited
to a reception for the artist 1 p. m. - 4 p. m.
Saturday, Nov. 1. Portola Art Gallery
exhibits representational art by 17 award-
winning Bay Area artists, who work in the
media of painting, pastel, photography and
ceramics. The gallery is located at Allied
Arts Guild, 75 Arbor Road, Menlo Park. For
more information about the gallery, contact

DAY OF THE DEAD AT THE MAIN
GALLERY IN REDWOOD CITY. Dia de
los Muertos is a holiday for honoring and
celebrating the memory of those who have
passed. Day of the Dead is a culturally fes-
tive art exhibit at The Main Galley in
Redwood City, showcasing five artists:
Robin Apple, Elizabeth Gomez, Katinka
Hartmetz, Diana Herring and Diana Krupka.
Photographer Apple, who attended the Day
of the Dead festivities in Oaxaca, Mexico,
last fall, described the experience as both
celebratory and somber, as folks paid their
respects to recently and long ago departed
loved ones by paying homage to the beauty
of life and the living. Mixed media artist
Gomez is from Mexico, and Day of the Dead
is part of her personal tradition. Because
Gomez grew up celebrating Day of the Dead,
she represents herself using traditional and
authentic art and craft pieces in the show.
Gomez states that she aims to create
memorials through her art as a happy cele-
bration of life. The Main Gallery exhibit is
part of a festive month throughout Redwood
City, including a large Day of the Dead/ Dia
de los Muertos party at the Courthouse
Square and at Redwood Citys Public library
6 p. m. - 9 p. m. Sunday, Nov. 2. The Main
Gallery, an artists cooperative with some
22 members, is located at 1018 Main St. at
the corner of Main and Middlefield in the
historic yellow Victorian Cottage in
Redwood City. Open 10 a. m. to 3 p. m.
Wednesday through Sunday. For more infor-
mation visit www. themaingallery. org or
call 701-1018. The show runs through
Sunday, Nov. 16.

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL:
SATAN, SIN AND THE UNDER-
WORLD, AT THE CANTOR ARTS
CENTER AT STANFORD UNIVERSI-
TY. The Cantor Arts Center has Rodins
famous masterwork the Gates of Hell, so as
Jackson Pollocks important painting
Lucifer comes to Stanford as part of the
Anderson Collection, it is interesting to
explore the visual history of the Devil and
his realm. Sympathy for the Devil: Satan,
Sin and the Underworld takes a look at this
dark master and his domain. Also known as
Satan, Lucifer and Mephistopheles, the
devil (like hell itself) is only briefly men-
tioned in the Bible; yet this source has
inspired myriad artists through the ages.
From 1500 to 1900, the devil evolved from
the bestial adversary of Christ to a rebel-
lious, romantic hero or shrewd villain. In
the 20th century this long tradition of
graphic representation largely disappeared,
as hell came to be seen as an aspect of this
world and its denizens as other people.
Based on the collections at Stanford and
augmented by several loans, Sympathy for
the Devil: Satan, Sin and the Underworld
traces the dominant Western tradition over
approximately four centuries. More than 40
prints, drawings, sculptures and paintings
including works by Albrecht Drer,
Hendrick Goltzius, Jacques Callot, Gustav
Dor, Max Beckmann and Jerome Witkin
reveal how artists visualized Satan and his
infernal realm and draw inspiration from
religious sources and accounts by Homer,
Dante, Virgil and Milton. The Cantor Arts
Center is located on the Stanford campus,
off Palm Drive at Museum Way. Parking is
free after 4 p. m. weekdays and all day on
weekends and major holidays. Sympathy
for the Devil: Satan, Sin and The
Underworld is on view through Dec. 1.

of man setup of earlier Civs, so you dont
have to teach your settlers rudimentary
skills like agriculture and writing. Instead,
you have an elaborate tech web that starts
with topics like physics and genetics and
levels all the way up to exotic sciences like
neural uploading and artificial evolution.
All this new technology is a bit over-
whelming, and if youre not a science fic-

nanorobotics and geoscaping. But Beyond
Earth provides a helpful quest structure that
lets you focus on short-term goals while
you figure out what it will take to conquer
the planet.
The game also lets you invest in four
kinds of virtues: might, prosperity,
knowledge and industry. And you score
points in three affinities: harmony
(adapting to the planet), purity (preserving
earthling qualities) and supremacy (evolv-
ing beyond human flesh). Those points are
essential to your ultimate triumph, which
can be achieved several ways. Harmony, for
example, can lead to transcendence, defined
as the merging of consciousness of all liv-
ing things with the latent sentience of the
planet. Heavy.
While youre juggling all that, you also
have to contend with the demands of neigh-
boring factions from Earth, which you can
handle diplomatically or aggressively.
There are many complicated systems at
play, but Firaxis makes them work together
smoothly.
Players itching to build a galaxy-span-

miss home cooking. However, they dont
miss it much when they eat in beautiful
Annenberg Hall, reminding most of the
Great Hall in Harry Potter.
There is a lot of cultural diversity, as
everyone is exposed to people from widely
different backgrounds. You can see a boy

ture to his Romanian roommate, or a

What remains clear, however, is Godards

Some of the technical work, specifically
some deliberately blurred horizontal sliding

prompt momentary fears that theres some-

Usher said his son
named after him, who
turns 7 next month, has
taken to his fathers dance talents.
When seeing me perform on tour in the
past . . . and most of the time its past his
bedtime, but hes just sitting there studying
every move, every second, like laser focus,
he said of Usher Raymond V. And then Ill
see him off by himself doing the moves.
Usher will showcase his sharp choreogra-
phy on his UR Experience World Tour,
which kicks off Saturday in Montreal. He
said the tour was influenced by live shows
hes seen from U2, Bruce Springsteen and
Frankie Beverly. Theres this connection
and that is what gave the inspiration for this
show, he said of the veteran acts.
He will play many of his hits, from U
Remind Me to Yeah! to OMG, on his
first tour in three years. He will also play
instruments.
I may be playing the drum sometimes. I

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
By Leslie Felperin
LOS ANGELES Again teamed with Colin
Firth, Nicole Kidman stars as an amnesia
victim whose brain resets back to 13 years
ago after each nights slumber in the decided-
ly average psychological thriller Before I
Go to Sleep.
Writer-director Rowan Joffes adaptation
of S.J. Watsons bestseller honors the lurid
spirit of the page-turner enough to satisfy
fans, but he doesnt transmute the material
into something richer and deeper as, say,
Hitchcock would.
The film opens with an extreme close-up
on the bloodshot eye of Christine Lucas
(Kidman), a woman who wakes up every
morning and doesnt recognize her own bed-
room or the man in bed next to her (Firth).
She is suffering from atypical psychogenic
amnesia, which means ever since she endured
severe head trauma 13 years ago, she cant
retain a days events in her mind until she
goes to sleep, but after a night, the slates
wiped clean again.
With a weary patience, the man in bed
reveals that he is Christines husband, Ben,
and that she had an accident which caused her
amnesia. When Ben goes off to work, the
phone rings and a man calling himself Dr.
Nasch (Mark Strong) explains to Christine
that hes a neuropsychologist whos been
helping with her memory disorder. He
instructs her on where to find a camera in her
closet on which shes recorded a video diary
over the last two weeks, prompting an
extended flashback to illustrate what shes
learned so far.
It turns out theres quite a lot that Ben hast-
nt been telling Christine. For a start, it was-
nt an accident that caused her amnesia, but a
brutal violent attack from an unknown
assailant. Also, Christine learns she had a
very close friend named Claire (Anne-Marie
Duff), whom she starts to remember when Dr.
Nasch shows her a picture.
Christine catches up on what shes learned
from the diary each day, and starts to twig
that Ben is not the gentle, doting husband he
seems to be. Meanwhile, she finds herself
attracted to Dr. Nasch, but while she may
think hes the swoony savior sort, viewers
will feel theyre being prodded to be more
suspicious. After all, hes played by Mark
Strong, a bad guy in so many films.
This is the sort of film where its difficult
to discuss the performances without giving
away the big twists, so those super sensitive
to anything thats faintly spoiler-ish should
stop reading now.
One of the films minor virtues is how it
plays with casting, exploiting expectations
audiences have around actors like Strong and
Firth. It works especially well with Firth,
who in the semiotics of British cinema espe-
cially, is the very apogee of cuddly male rec-
titude and moral probity. Here, however, he
shows off a dark side.
The film isnt such a repertoire-stretch for
Kidman, who has played this sort of vulnera-
ble woman-on-the-edge many times before.
Theres not the same nuance here that she
displayed in, say, The Others, but then
again despite the fact that shes the storys
anchoring consciousness, the script doesnt
really flesh out her character all that much.
Joffe has something of a knack for coax-
ing bad performances from usually good
actors. Theres less damage this time to the
casts reputation, but still he shows a singu-
lar lack of originality when it comes to the
thriller mechanics, falling back on huge
soundtrack surges to generate shocks and
suspense, and leaving cinematographer Ben
Davis and production designer Kave Quinn to
do the heavy lifting when it comes to build-
ing atmosphere.
Its a shame because this is exactly the
kind of trashy read of a book that in the
hands of the right director could have been
elevated into something really special with
its peculiarly female take on paranoia and
anxieties about domesticity, aging, memory
and identity.
Before I Go to Sleep, a Clarius Films
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for some brutal vio-
lence and language. Running time: 92 min-
utes.

TOKYO When she came to life in
1974, she was a kitty without a
name, sitting sideways in blue over-
alls and a big red bow, on a coin
purse for Japanese girls. On
Saturday, fans around the world
celebrate the 40th anniversary of
this global icon of cute-cool.
That is, Hello Kitty.
Only a handful of characters last
so long, especially in Japan, where
thousands come and go in a highly
competitive market. Hello Kitty has
the looks, and more.
Characters must have certain qualities,
like an oversized round face, short limbs and
plump body, said economist Takuro
Morinaga, an expert on popular
culture. Kitty follows the
basics, yet she has a strong per-
sonality.
Innovative design and
clever marketing also helped
expand her fan base around the
world, said Christine Yano,
anthropologist and author of
Pink Globalization: Hello
Kittys Trek Across the Pacific.
Hello Kittys company, Sanrio
Co., which specializes in design-
ing and making a wide range of
products in the booming cute business,
created her as a character 40 years ago.
According to Sanrio, her real name is Kitty
White, born Nov. 1 no year is given in
the London suburbs. The birthday date was
chosen because it is the birthday of her orig-
inal designer, Yuko Shimizu.
Sanrio strives to keep Hello Kitty ahead of
the curve, factoring in social and fashion
trends and collaborating with
other popular characters and
fashion brands. Her basic
appearance hasnt changed
much, but just about every-
thing else constantly is.
Yano said the philosophy of
not resting is part of the char-
acters success.
That makes things very fresh, very new,
she said in a telephone interview from
Boston. She is always the same but always
different.
Made up of just a few simple strokes two
dots for eyes, a tiny circle for a nose and no
mouth Hello Kitty was largely for little
girls at the start.

It is cyclical, however, theres no long-
term crashing that weve seen, Juhasz said.
So we can pretty much say the fishery over-
all is sustainable in that regard because
theres no long-term crashes.
The annual season runs through June 30
but, as there are regulations on how many
pots a commercial fisherman can throw, its
considered a derby and the season typically
slows within a few months, Juhasz said.
The Dungeness crab trap limit went into
effect last year and outlines a seven-tiered
system whereby commercial fisherman may
purchase permits allowing them to fish with
anywhere from 175 pots to 500 pots, Juhasz
said.
The size of allowable catch also depends
on three different fishing permits sport,
commercial and a charter or party boat per-
mit known as a commercial passenger fish-
ing vessel.
Sport or recreational fishermen can keep
up to 10 crabs per day that measure at least 5
3/4 inches. Those who fish from a charter
boat may bring in up to six crabs per day
that are at least 6 inches wide. Commercial
fishermen are limited by the amount of pots
they have and can only keep male crabs that
are 6 1/4 inches or bigger, Juhasz said. All
undersized crabs or other species must
quickly be released.

fun, Tyler Lee said. I love writing about
food. It was a very dedicated effort; you had
to set aside that time. Its very exciting.
Its been a huge groundswell.
In the week-by-week guide, Tyler Lee
gives parents practical tips to dramatically
change the way their families eat. There are
13 foods in each of the seasons and, with
each of the foods, there are different ways to
bring principles to life, such as cooking the
food, growing it or finding it at the farmers
market. The book includes 150 recipes and
tips for cooking with children. Recipes
range from Brussels sprouts chips to creamy
sweet potato and apple soup.
Its not easy to get children to eat healthy,
Tyler Lee said.
We all know what we need to do, but
thats so hard as a busy parent, she said. If
you do get time to cook, how do you get kids
to actually eat what you make?
Tyler Lee, who has lived in Burlingame
since 2002, said she hopes the book gives
families an easy way to improve eating
habits, letting kids lead that adventure.
The key is making a long-lasting
change, she said. I grew up in a big fami-
ly and food was the center of it. I loved to eat
my grandmothers food, but I didnt cook
much of it myself. This (being a mom) real-
ly brought me to the kitchen to learn how to
make healthy food really taste delicious for
my family.
When her children started eating healthi-
er, their energy levels were better since they
were eating fewer processed foods.
More than anything else, its been a love
of exploring that this really gave them a
way to explore the world around them, she
said. You see it in so many ways beyond
the table.
Catherine and James now have some
cooking skills.
The love of food and curiosity that got
inspired, you start to see that in other
places, she said. My sons teacher said,
because of the way youre exploring with
him, he views himself as someone who
likes to try new things. It is a life lesson
that is beyond the food.
Not only has she seen her children explor-
ing more, its also been a fantastic way to
connect as a family, she said.
Its not about the food, its about the fun
and the journey the foods take you on, she
said.
The book is not just for people with kids
though, she said.
Everybody can benefit from boosting
variety at your table, Tyler Lee said.
Whether youre a child or adult, we all need
to do this.

ers for the electricity they use at any of the
12 st at i ons i n ci t y parki ng l ot s and
garages. The city currently doesnt charge
or enforce if the correct vehicles are using
the space and how long they stay. Since
January 2011, when t he st at i ons were
installed, both use and the average length
of stay has increased.
City staff recommends restricting the use
to four hours and setting rates of $1. 50 per
hour for Level II vehicles and $5 per hour
for DC Fast Charge vehicles. Doing so
would net an estimated $16, 000 in revenue
although the figure is dependent on how
drivers react to the new fees and if free
charging options are available elsewhere.
Another proposal is a car share program
which senior transportation coordinator
Jessica Manzi told the council in a report is
one way to encourage alternative trans-
portation and parking. The city already has
two three-car share pods one at the
Sequoi a Cal t rai n st at i on and anot her
behind the county history museum and
plans another for the library lot. To go for-
ward with the installation, the city must
flesh out the share program with signs,
permits and specific spaces, according to
Manzi.
The city has a grant to fund the installa-
tion so most of the cost will be staff time
to establish and manage the program. Car
sharing spaces will also mean less parking
meter revenue up to $1, 200 annually so
city officials might consider in the future
charging permit fees.
Staff also recommends creating a uniform
process for temporarily reserving metered
spaces for needs like a special events and
construction. The goal is aligning applica-
tion and daily fees with the cost of the dis-
placed parking spaces.
The city already has concrete proof that
parki ng changes can change behavi or.
Since August when hourly downtown park-
ing rate jumped to $1 per hour, city staff
report that more people are parking outside
the core where rates are only a quarter per
hour and more drivers use the Jefferson
Garage during weekdays. Parking spaces
are still pretty full on the street but drivers
use them for shorter periods of time.
However, occupancy rates are still more
than 85 percent until 9 p. m. and below 70
percent before 10 a. m. , based on data from
in-pavement sensors.
The sensors also show that most trips to
downtown are quite short under 30 min-
utes in certain blocks of Broadway and
Jefferson Avenue and less than two hours
for 75 percent of trips so adding more
short-term parking might not be a long-
term fix because demand would overwhelm
supply, according to Manzis report.

LOS ANGELES Usually, dumb video
games dont know theyre dumb video
games. Thats not the case with the ludi-
crously self-aware Sunset Overdrive
(Microsoft, for the Xbox One, $59. 99), a
vibrant open-world action game set in a
doomed metropolis thats been overrun by
mutants, robots and mercenaries after the
release of a toxic energy drink.
While pop culture typically depicts the
apocalypse in various shades of brown and
gray, the designers at Insomniac Games
have created an over-the-top, end-of-the-
world setup that looks more like an amuse-
ment park than a prison. Its basically one
big playground to blow up stuff while zip-
ping around a colorful cross between Miami
and Tokyo.
The developers have masterfully designed
a frenetic transversal system that provides
the nameless superpowered hero with the
ability to grind along power lines, bounce
off cars, run across skyscrapers and skim
along canals. Theres also a way to teleport
around Sunset City, but its always more
entertaining to take the scenic route.
That sense of freedom extends to the cre-
ation of the protagonist himself. At any
point, players can make him black or white,
big or small, shaggy or smooth. He can be a
she and she can wear a jesters hat with a
marching band uniform while armed with a
genital-shaped shotgun and a hairspray-
powered rocket launcher, if she wants.
Indeed, Sunset Overdrive features many
options. The mind-boggling array of cus-
tomization extends beyond wacky weapons
and costumes to bonuses and power-ups that
can increase the ammo capacity of guns,
weaken specific enemy types or melt the
ground you walk on.
The ultimate goal is to take down the evil
corporation that unleased the orange-col-
ored swill on citizens and escape the city.
Along the way, there are spoiled brats,
killer balloons, ninja cheerleaders and an
outrageously awesome appearance by Buzz
Osborne of the rock band the Melvins. Yep,
Sunset Overdrive is basically an interac-
tive Troma film.
The game is laced with quips that break
the fourth wall, calling out tired conven-
tions of video games, such as repetitive
fetch quests and disembodied narrators.
Unfortunately, its only for humors sake
because Sunset Overdrive never attempts
to overcome its own mindlessness as it
simultaneously skewers and celebrates so-
called gamer culture.
Despite its refreshingly ridiculous take on
an apocalypse and an exhilarating new way
to traipse across a virtual city, theres not
much thats original. It wouldnt be all that
shocking if Sunset Overdrive was actually
just Saints Row V in disguise. Its such
wild fun, though, it would be dumb for Xbox
One owners not to take a sip. Three stars.

services ended around mid-day.
However, the Israeli military reported
that five Palestinians were injured in a
running battle between Israeli security
personnel and Palestinian demonstrators
at t he Qal andi ya checkpoi nt near t he
West Bank city of Ramallah. AP video
footage showed the security personnel
firing barrages of tear gas canisters at
dozens of rock-t hrowi ng Pal est i ni ans
near the site.
The military also said there were clashes
in at least five other West Bank locations,
though no injuries were reported.
The holy site in Jerusalem has been a
flashpoint for tensions between Jews and
Musl i ms for decades, underscori ng t he
incendiary nature of the religious compo-
nent in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A
visit there by then-opposition leader Ariel
Sharon in 2000 set off the last Palestinian
uprising against Israeli rule. It remains a
potent symbol for the two peoples com-
peting territorial claims.
Israeli authorities had said they were
limiting access to the site on Friday to
Muslim men over 50 in an attempt to
dampen the prospects for violence trig-
gered by Thursdays ki l l i ng of a
Palestinian man suspected of attempting
to assassinate a hard-line Jewish activist.
Israeli-American rabbi Yehuda Glick was
shot three times late Wednesday but his
condition was now said to be improving.
Glick has campaigned for more Jewish
access to the site, a cherished cause for
religious nationalists who resent Israels

Heavy security as Israel reopens Jerusalem site

TOKYO Japans cent ral bank sur-
pri sed t he fi nanci al worl d and pl eased
investors Friday by intensifying its pur-
chases of government bonds and other
assets to try to revive a chronically ane-
mic economy.
The Bank of Japans move to pump tril-
lions more yen into the financial system is
i nt ended t o st i mul at e spendi ng i n t he
worl ds t hi rd-l argest economy. It s an
acknowl edgement t hat Pri me Mi ni st er
Shinzo Abes government has so far failed
in its broad efforts to revive growth, espe-
cially after a sales tax hike took effect in
Apri l . The l at est dat a show consumer
spending falling, unemployment rising
and excessively low inflation dipping fur-
ther.
By injecting more money into the econo-
my, the government hopes to raise expecta-
tions of higher inflation and thereby
encourage people to spend and fuel growth.
Coinciding with the central banks move,
Japans $1. 1 trillion public pension fund
acted Friday to move money out of low-
yielding bonds and into higher-yielding
but riskier stocks to try to improve its
investment returns and meet its obligations
to a swelling number of retirees. Abe said
the move was needed to ensure that the fund
can meet its future obligations. Japan is
rapidly aging, and its population is shrink-
ing as birth rates decline.
Across the world, investors responded by
pouring money into stocks in anticipation
that the Bank of Japans action would mean
lower bond yields, higher stock prices and
a cheaper yen, which would make Japans
goods more affordable overseas.
After the governments announcements,
Japans Nikkei 225 stock index soared 4. 8
percent to close at a seven-year high, and
the dollar rose 2 percent against the yen.
European stock markets also jumped, along
with the Dow Jones industrial average.
The central bank said it will increase its
purchases of government bonds and other
assets by between 10 trillion yen and 20
trillion yen ($91 billion to $181 billion)
to about 80 trillion yen ($725 billion)
annually.
The move is striking in its timing: It
comes two days after the U. S. Federal
Reserve did the reverse by ending its own
asset-purchase program, which had pumped
$3 trillion-plus into the U. S. economy
over the past six years. The Fed is pulling
back because, in contrast to Japans, the
U. S. economy is showing consistent
improvement.
The Bank of Japans move raises pressure
on the European Central Bank to follow
suit. The ECB has been considering aggres-
sive steps to invigorate the ailing eurozone
economy, which is suffering from weak
growth and too-low inflation.

Protests push Burkina
Faso president from power
OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso The
president of Burkina Faso stepped down
Friday after protesters stormed parliament
and set the building ablaze, ending the 27-
year reign of one of Africas longest-serv-
ing rulers.
Confusion reigned late Friday over who
was in charge: An army general quickly
announced he was stepping into the vacuum
left by departing President Blaise
Compaore, but then a colonel later appeared
to be vying for power.
Gen. Honore Traore, the joint chief of
staff, told a packed room of reporters that he
would assume the presidency until elections
were called. Later, an army statement read
on television and attributed to Col. Yacouba
Zida announced that the borders had been
closed, and a transitional committee had
been set up.

DEIR, for the safety improvements
project and presents the option of
doing nothing to the road or widening
and installing two dedicated left-turn
lanes. The project is aimed at improv-
ing safety by reducing collisions from
left-turning movements on El Camino
Real.
The city of Burlingame is disap-
pointed to see that several of the oper-
ational measures were evaluated and
withdrawn by Caltrans in the DEIR,
Mayor Michael Brownrigg wrote in a
draft letter to Caltrans stating the city
felt Caltrans dismissed its Dec. 16,
2013, letter asking Caltrans to take
incremental steps for changing the
intersection.
The document identifies nine opera-
tional measures that were considered,
but ultimately withdrawn by Caltrans.
Signal timing adjustments were reject-
ed because signal-timing changes were
already made and showed no identifi-
able reductions in left-turn collisions.
A left-turn prohibition/intersection
closure was rejected because it was
deemed impractical from a highway
operational and safety perspective.
Widening the west side, east or both
sides of El Camino Real with private
right-of-way acquisition were rejected
because of design infeasibility with
worse environmental impacts than the
build alternative. Signal split-phas-
ing/removal of existing traffic signal
was rejected because it would cause
vehicle traffic delays and vehicle queu-
ing. Signal removal would increase
left-turn collisions. Speed enforce-
ment was rejected because it would
reduce the existing speed limit and not
address left-turn collisions. Other sig-
nal modifications (traffic barriers and
delineators) were rejected because of
maintenance concerns, private right-
of-way acquisition, reduction in travel
lanes, reduction in through-traffic
capacity, potential to cause traffic
delay and congestion, according to a
staff report.
The city found 14 trees that could be
affected by the project, which include
five liquidambars, four historical blue
gum eucalyptus trees, two eucalyptus
microtheca, one accolade elm and two
volunteer trees. The state owns El
Camino Real and, thus, the trees along
it, City Manager Lisa Goldman previ-
ously said. Still, if any removal should
occur, replacement will be required as
per the understanding with Caltrans
and the city of Burlingame, according
to the city.
Meanwhile, other than not modify-
ing the road, Caltrans is considering
widening El Camino Real in the inter-
section area from its current width of
40 feet to 60 feet, and tapering back to
its current 40 feet width at Oak Grove
Avenue and toward Bellevue Avenue,
with a project length of approximately
500 feet. Caltrans would install two
new opposing dedicated left-turn lanes
on El Camino Real at Floribunda
Avenue for northbound and south-
bound left-turn traffic. The two exist-
ing through-travel lanes in each direc-
tion (two northbound and two south-
bound) would be maintained; although
they would be shifted outward to
accommodate the new opposing left-
turn lanes in the center. Intersection
lighting improvements are also an
option, according to the city staff
report.
In his draft letter, Brownrigg goes
on to state the city still believes that
safety improvements may be achieved
through combined, and concurrent,
implementation of several operational
measures.
The approach taken in the DEIR to
evaluate these measures as isolated,
individual actions has led to less than
significant results, he wrote.
The city believes that safety, his-
toric, cultural and aesthetic concerns
can all be addressed using several
actions simultaneously or in close
concert, rather than just as individual
measures, he wrote.
It is the citys belief that this
approach is better public policy both
for California taxpayers as well as for
our own city residents, he wrote.
Others expressed disappointment
with the report, including Burlingame
Historical Society President Jennifer
Pfaff.
I think that theyre (Caltrans) set
on a build option and its up to this
community again to express their pref-
erences for something that is effec-
tive, but does not involve such an
invasive project and such a costly
project and one that does not affect the
character of our town so drastically,
she said. Many letters were written by
this community a little over a year ago
regarding this proposal. They and I
thought a lot of the ideas made a lot of
sense and they should have taken this
year to start looking into them. Im
not convinced they tried anything; it
does not appear to me that any of the
options were seriously considered.
City staff also brings up several con-
cerns about Caltrans study, noting
that the DEIR does not provide com-
prehensive traffic collision data at the
El Camino Real and Floribunda inter-
section. The document states that there
were 22 accidents over a three-year
period and does not show year-by-year
trends, types, causes or
results/changes from previous
improvements undertaken. The city
wants a detailed record of collision
data by year, type and causes for the
last 10 years. The DEIR states that the
El Camino Real and Floribunda inter-
section has a higher collision rate
than the state average, but the docu-
ment does not provide the information
on what the states average collision
rate is and the measured time period.
The city also wants traffic collision
data from after 2012 included. The city
believes other collision data about
other intersections along the El
Camino Real corridor is relevant to
understand how the Floribunda inter-
section compares. The study should
also include projected traffic volumes
and detailed technical data including
traffic simulation for each of the dis-
carded alternatives, the staff report
states.
I am surprised we were not given
more than one alternative; normally
when youre looking at an EIR or DEIR
you have a few alternatives to look at,
said Councilwoman Ann Keighran.
When we had our last meeting with
Caltrans, we had specified we wanted
to do the least intrusive alternative
first and thats not what is being pre-
sented here.
Keighran would also like to see more
data. She would like Caltrans to pres-
ent data on other intersections for
comparison and how spread out the
accidents were over the three-year
study.
Caltrans is also sponsoring a proj-
ect open house event to allow the pub-
lic to submit comments on the
DEIR/EA. The public meeting/open
house will be held 6:30 p. m. -8:30
p. m. Thursday, Nov. 13 at the
Burlingame Recreation Centers multi-
purpose room at 850 Burlingame Ave.

staff has requested that Caltrans extend
the deadline to provide comments as
the current deadline is too soon and
inadequate, it stated in the staff report.
The City Council will discuss the
draft letter to Caltrans and other staff
analysis on the draft environmental
report at its 7 p. m. Monday, Nov. 3
meeting at Council Chambers, 501

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Natalino Marchi
Case Number: 124709
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Natalino Marchi. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Peter
Marchi in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Peter Marchi
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the descedants will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
203 Public Notices
this court as follows: November 18, 2014
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
