Private firm questions high-speed rail funding

Critics cite lack of private investors as flaw in planning for $68 billion transportation project
By Juliet Williams
and Justin Pritchard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Businesses
that might bid to build a highspeed rail network across
California
are
questioning
whether there will be enough government funding to complete the
complex and ambitious project.

That picture emerged from documents the companies submitted to
the state rail authority overseeing
the project, which solicited ideas
for how it should approach building a first segment of 300 miles of
track by 2022.
Critics have cited the lack of
private investors as a major flaw
in planning what would be the

nations largest transportation
infrastructure project, with a cost
estimated at $68 billion. So the
California High-Speed Rail
Authority asked firms to suggest
how to reduce costs, speed up construction and attract outside
money.
In response it received 36 sub-
missions from firms including

global construction and engineering giants AECOM, Siemens and
Parsons. The rail authority
released the documents to the
Associated Press under a Public
Records Act request.
The authority has planned an
initial operating segment from
Merced to Burbank, with the first
service scheduled for 2022. On

Friday, authority spokeswoman
Lisa Marie Alley said one purpose
of the proposals was to see
whether the route could be built
sooner.

Francisco with the Los Angeles

Top three tax dodgers owe state nearly $6.4M

Burlingame aircraft leasing company president owes nearly $2M
By Scott Morris
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The top tax dodgers in California include

a San Francisco landlord, a Burlingame
company president and a Silicon Valley
entrepreneur who lost millions in the dotcom bubble, according to data from the state
Franchise Tax Board released this week.
The top 500 delinquent tax payers collectively owe more than $160 million in back
taxes.
The tax board sent them all letters in
August warning them they were slated to
appear on the list released this week. While
158 of them made arrangements to pay their
debt, 286 people and 56 businesses did not
and their names were published today.
The top 10 includes three Bay Area residents who together owe almost $6.4 million to the state.
The top Bay Area delinquent according to
the state is David M. Raynal, a San
Francisco landlord who was a partner in the
notorious CitiApartments company. Raynal
has had an outstanding lien for nearly $2.6
million since 2013, according to the state.
He was the managing partner with
CitiApartments when the company was sued

by the residents of seven of the companys
150 apartment buildings and by San
Francisco city attorney Dennis Herrera in
separate lawsuits in 2006.
Herrera alleged the company bullied tenants into giving up rent-controlled apartments through unannounced visits by armed
security agents and shutting off utilities
without notice. Once the tenants vacated,
the company would make unpermitted renovations and re-rent the apartments at much
steeper prices, according to the city attorneys office.
The company eventually settled with the
city for millions in penalties.
Raynal continues to operate as a landlord
in San Francisco, including as a partner of
Lem-Ray Properties, according to business
records.
The Bay Area resident with the secondmost delinquent taxes is Burlingame resident Neal Crispin, who owed nearly $2 million when a lien was filed last year, according to the state.
Crispin, the president of Burlingamebased aircraft leasing company AeroCentury
Corp., has had trouble with federal tax col-
lectors as well. In 2013, he lost an appeal in

federal court while fighting a 2007 demand
by the Internal Revenue Service for $3.1
million in unpaid taxes and a $1.2 million
penalty.
The third biggest alleged tax dodger in the
Bay Area is Silicon Valley entrepreneur
David Hayden, who founded one of the
Internets first search engines, Magellan,
and has been attached to a long string of
failed companies since. Hayden has had a
lien for nearly $1.8 million since 2002.
Hayden was worth more than $100 million after taking another company, Critical
Path, public in 1999 and opening a brokerage account with Robertson Stephens Inc.,
borrowing $30 million, according to court
records. He defaulted on the loan three years
later but sued Robertson Stephens alleging
the company committed a breach of fiduciary duty.
Robertson Stephens won $27 million in
arbitration but Hayden continued fighting.
The state publishes the list of tax evaders
twice a year in April and October and has
since 2007. The full list is available at
www.ftb.ca.gov/aboutFTB/Delinquent_Tax
payers.shtml.
Mud covers highways, strands drivers in Southern California

LOS ANGELES Rescuers threw ladders

and tarps across mud up to 6 feet deep to
help hundreds of trapped people from cars
that got caught in a roiling river of mud
along a major Southern California trucking
route, a California Highway Patrol official
said Friday in what he and other witnesses
described as a chaotic scene.
Amazingly, officials said, no deaths or
injuries were reported.
The people rescued from State Route 58,
about 30 miles east of Bakersfield, were

stranded in a powerful storm on Thursday
evening. They were rescued in darkness
about 10 hours after the storm hit and taken
to three shelters.

mud. Ive never experienced anything like
it, ever.

Obituary
Rear Admiral Brian Talbot Sheehan

July 20th, 1937 - October 1st, 2015
It is with deep sadness we share the peaceful passing of Rear

Admiral (USN Retired), Brian Talbot Sheehan on a beautiful
Autumn day at his favorite place in Squaw Valley, CA on October
1, 2015.
The Admiral was born in Gardner, Massachusetts on July 20,
1937. His voracious appetite for learning led to advanced degrees
in chemical engineering and a PhD in microbiology led to the start
of his career in the pharmaceutical industry. In 1977, an offer to
become the second employee in a new little start-up biotechnology firm, Genentech, brought
him and his first family to the West Coast. He moved on to establish himself further in the industry
with companies such as Coors in Fort Collins, CO and Alza in the Bay Area to name a few.
Among his proudest accomplishments was his 33 years of service to his country in both the active
and reserves of the United States Navy with three years of teaching at the US Naval Academy.
Studying under him was a young, fresh-faced Roger Staubach, but he never went to thedark side
as a Cowboy fan. He bled 49er red and gold. He proudly retired with the rank of Rear Admiral.
In 1978, he met a bright, ambitious woman, Sharon Carlock, who proved to be his intellectual
equal. They were married October 28, 1984. Their son, Kevin, came into their lives on July
21,1991 and has been their pride and joy ever since.
His passions were skiing, wood cutting and finding the best coupon deals, but not necessarily in
that order.
He is preceded in death by his father, John Francis Sheehan and his mother, Mildred Sheehan.
He is survived in life by his wife, Sharon, his son, Kevin, and his four children from his first
marriage, Lynn, Michael, Kathy and Patty as well as his brothers, John and David and his
grandchildren.
He had said that his faith in the Catholic Church was what carried him through life in the worst
of times. One of the best of times was when he witnessed his son, Kevin, being blessed not once,
but twice by Pope John Paul II at the Vatican.
A funeral mass will be held at Our Lady of Angels parish church on October 20th at 10:00am
(1721 Hillside Drive, Burlingame, CA 94010).
The family invites you to send photos, stories or memories of Brian to RADMBTS@comcast.net.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project or the
World Parrot Trust.

State shuts 33 oilfield wells

threatening water supply
SAN FRANCISCO California is shutting down another 33 oilfield wells that

state officials improperly permitted to
inject into federally protected water supplies.
The shutdowns were effective Thursday,
and primarily affect oilfield injection wells
in Central Californias Kern County. Its the
latest development following revelations
that California gave oil companies permits
to dump oilfield waste and production fluid

into water aquifers that were supposed to be
off-limits. The aquifers hold water clean
enough to be current or potential sources of
drinking water.
California shut down another 23 oilfield
injection wells earlier in the year, and has
promised a statewide review. Federal environmental officials have ordered California
to bring its oilfield regulation back into
compliance with the Safe Drinking Water
Act.

Obituary
Christy P. Armstrong
March 18, 1915 October 1, 2015

Christy Armstrong passed away peacefully on October 1, 2015,
in Burlingame at the age of 100. A 2nd generation native of
San Francisco, he was born at home in Bernal Heights on March
18, 1915, to John Peter and Katharina Armstrong. He was a
graduate of Commerce High School and UC Berkeleys College of
Commerce (now the Haas School of Business). After graduating,
he worked as an underwriter for Hartford Accident & Indemnity
Company and an auditor for the California Department of
Insurance until he enlisted and began service in the United States
Air Force in 1943. He was a sergeant and was stationed stateside,
in San Francisco, supporting statistical and logistics operations. In 1946 he returned to the
California Insurance Department, eventually rising to become Deputy Insurance Commissioner
and Chief Examiner, and remained in that role until his retirement in 1979. He was a member
of Beta Gamma Sigma business honor society, a founding member and national president of the
Society of Financial Examiners, and received commendation from the California Legislature
in recognition of his service. After retiring from the state, he joined Coopers & Lybrand as an
executive consultant in insurance and continued his career until age 80.
In 1963, Christy met and married Lorna Mattson. Together they raised two children,
Kristin and Eric, in Burlingame. He was an involved and caring father, and was very
active in his community and his childrens (and their childrens) lives. He was a devoted
husband and partner to Lorna, and they enjoyed many adventures together traveling
around the country and the world. He loved and cared for Lorna until her passing in 1996.
Christy had a strong faith and was very active in his church, the First Presbyterian Church
of Burlingame, where he served as a deacon and an elder. He loved and appreciated art
and music, and was an avid piano and organ player. He supported numerous local arts
and performance organizations and many area museums. He was also a devoted 49ers
fan, and held season tickets from the Kezar days until their recent move to Santa Clara.
Christy remarried in 1997, to Mary Herman of Burlingame. Together with Mary, he lived
a very active social life, and embarked on many more trips to far-ung destinations,
sometimes bringing along the combined Armstrong and Herman families. He also
continued his service to First Presbyterian Church and joined Mary in supporting the
Burlingame Library and other community organizations, including his alma mater.
Christy is survived by his wife, Mary, his children Kristin Armstrong Mastrangelo and
husband Walter Mastrangelo, Eric Armstrong, and Susan Herman (husband Doug
Johnston), and his grandchildren Tracy Mastrangelo Smith (husband Aaron Smith),
Vittorio Mastrangelo, Maxwell and Owen Armstrong, and Zachary Johnston (Go
Bears!). His family held a private, family memorial. Donations in Christys memory are
welcomed, to the donors cause of choice.
Jean Camp, age 95, died peacefully at her home on August 27, 2015,
with her daughter and caregiver at her side. Jean was a loving and caring
woman who could always see the bright side of life. Over her last months,
she kept her spirits high and was so grateful to have lived so many years
and to have shared her life with so many wonderful people.
Jean was born on May 27, 1920, along side her twin sister Jewell, in the
oil fields near Orcutt, California, to Bert and Gladyus Dinnes. Jewell died
on December 21, 2014. Both Jean and Jewell are survived by their older
sister, Betty, who lives in Grass Valley at age 97.
Jean went to the Orcutt Grammar School and graduated from Santa
Maria High School in 1938. That same year she met and married Ed Camp
and settled in San Francisco. In 1940, they had their first child, Joanne, and
in 1944 their son, Jim. In 1951, the family moved to Menlo Park, where Jean and Ed lived for the
rest of their lives. They were married for 52 years until Ed died in 1990.
Jean was a home maker, an accomplished seamstress and a dedicated volunteer. She almost
always had needle and thread in hand, either mending, hemming, crocheting, quilting, or
knitting. Teaching her great-granddaughters how to sew and crochet was a highlight for her
in recent years. Jean was an active member at Saint Bedes Episcopal Church and served on the
Altar Guild. She was also active with the Peninsula Volunteers at their Menertons Thrift Shop
and, for several years, managed the Gift Shop Boutique at Little House Senior Center in Menlo
Park. In 2010, Jean was formally recognized by the California State Legislature and the Junior
League of San Jose for her outstanding commitment to service in her community.
Late in her life, Jean met and fell in love with Harry Harrison, a fellow member of Little House, who
had also lost his spouse. They shared several years enjoying life together, until Harrys death in 2012.
Jean is survived by her daughter, Joanne Barnes, (Jim, Joannes husband, died in 1993) her son,
Jim Camp (Elizabeth Patrick), grandchildren Ralph Barnes and Deborah Neil (Richard) and
great grandchildren, Steven Barnes, Sara Robba (Jason), Jennifer Neil, Elizabeth Neil, Jeanette
Neil and many nieces and nephews.
The family wishes to give a special thanks to Almaz, Jeans caregiver for more than a year and
a half. Her attention and love for our mother was extraordinary. We also wish to thank Jeans
other caregivers, Helen, Elizabeth and Ken, and the fine staff of Pathways Home and Hospice,
all of whom gave so much joy and comfort in the last years of her life.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Jeans memory to Peninsula
Volunteers, Inc., 800 Middle Road, Menlo Park, CA (www.penvol.org) or your favorite charity.
Services will be held for both Jean and her twin sister Jewell on November 7, 2015 at 1:00PM
at St. Bedes Episcopal Church, 2650 Sand Hill Rd., Menlo Park, CA.

Local brief
Arizona men who flew to Bay Area to
burglarize home ordered to repay victims
The two Arizona men who flew to the Bay Area in 2012
with the purpose of burglarizing homes have both been
sentenced and ordered to pay $50,000 in
restitution.
Michael Wallen, 49, of Glendale,
Arizona, was sentenced to three years in
state prison after pleading no contest
earlier this year. His accomplice, 52year-old Bradley Sullivan, also of
Glendale, Arizona, received a 13-year
sentence this week, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Michael Wallen
Sullivan, who had prior felony convictions, opted to take his chances in
court and received the stiffer sentence
after a five-day jury trial that culminated
with his sentencing Wednesday, according to Wagstaffe.
San Mateo County Superior Court
Judge Leland Davis ordered both men be
jointly responsible for the $50, 000
restitution they must pay to their victims, Wagstaffe said. The duo stole
Bradley
between $30,000 and $50,000 worth of
Sullivan
jewelry from a Woodside residence.
Wallen, who had prior convictions in Arizona for home
and vehicle burglaries, pleaded no contest July 13.
Sullivan was found guilty July 21.
The men were convicted of crimes stemming from the
May 28, 2012, incident when the duo flew from Arizona to
the Bay Area for two days on a travel package arranged by
Sullivans girlfriend. They rented a car and drove to
Woodside, where they were captured on surveillance camera in front of the burglarized home, according to prosecutors.
The video shows one man going inside while the other
stayed behind to cover up the cars license plate but not
before it was caught on camera, according to prosecutors.
It took a year before investigators connected them to
the burglary and searched their Arizona home. When they
did, investigators found some of the jewelry taken during
the burglary, according to prosecutors.
Interior Department reducing

future Arctic offshore drilling
By Dan Joling
ANCHORAGE, Alaska The

Interior Department announced Friday
it is canceling future lease sales and
will not extend current leases in Arctic
waters off Alaskas northern coast, a
decision that significantly reduces the
chances for future Arctic offshore
drilling.
The news follows a Sept. 28
announcement by Royal Dutch Shell
that it would cease exploration in the
Chukchi and Beaufort seas after spending upward of $7 billion on Arctic
exploration. The company cited disappointing results from a well drilled in
the Chukchi and the unpredictable federal regulatory environment.

Biden aide seeking to keep

VPs name in the mix for 16
By Josh Lederman

Afghan security forces keep watch in front of a vehicle which was set on fire on the Kabul-Kandahar highway
after fighting between government forces and Taliban militants in Ghazni.
Afghanistan results suggest

long-term U.S. troop mission
By Robert Burns
WASHINGTON Americas war

in Afghanistan, now in its 15th
year, is long on official U.S. optimism about building a self-reliant
Afghan army but short on convincing evidence that the goal
will be reached anytime soon.
That is the backdrop to
President Barack Obamas decision to extend the U.S. military
mission beyond his last day in
the White House, giving U. S.
forces still more time to train and
advise the Afghan army and keep
up the hunt for remnants of the
al-Qaida network, whose Sept. 11
attacks drew them to Afghanistan
in 2001. Just last year Obama had
said the outlook was so encouraging that only an embassy-based
military oversight office would
remain after January 2017.

It looks different now, and not as
encouraging.
The bottom line is, in key areas
of the country, the security situation is still very fragile, and in
some places there is risk of deterioration, Obama said Thursday in
announcing what he called a calculated adjustment to his plan.
Supporters of prolonging the
U.S. presence say it is necessary
to secure Afghanistans future and
keep al-Qaida and other extremist
groups at bay. Others question
whether keeping nearly 10,000
U.S. troops there in 2016 and then
holding at 5,500 troops beyond
that will make a significant difference, given the uneven results
from 14 years of efforts to build
and professionalize an Afghan
army and police force paid for
largely by the United States.
This year the Pentagon spent

$4.1 billion to train, equip and
sustain the Afghan army and
police. That is no ordinary package of assistance. It included feeding soldiers, paying their salaries
and fueling their vehicles. The
Pentagon is asking Congress for
another $3.7 billion for the coming year.
No doubt the Afghan army has
improved over the years, and its
soldiers do not shy away from
combat. But the army still suffers
basic flaws. Just days ago the top
U.S. commander in Afghanistan,
Gen. John Campbell, told a congressional committee that Afghan
forces are unable to fight without
U.S. support, that we have just
started creating an Afghan air
force, and that it will take time
to develop competent Afghan battle commanders.
WASHINGTON Just as
Democrats were starting to count
him out, Joe Biden sent a clear
signal through his political team
that not only might he enter the
presidential race soon, he has a
strategy prepared that he thinks
could win.
After months of growing calls
for him to run, the vice presidents
tide began turning this week after
the first Democratic debate, which
softened concerns about frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton
while obscuring any obvious
rationale for Biden to run. But in a
letter to former Biden staffers late
Thursday, one of Bidens closest
advisers traced the contours of the
argument Biden would make, and
suggested a decision to run could
be imminent.
If he runs, he will run because
of his burning conviction that we
need to fundamentally change the
balance in our economy and the
political structure to restore the
ability of the middle class to get
ahead, former Sen. Ted Kaufman
said in an email to a list of Biden
alumni. The letter was obtained by
the Associated Press.
Kaufman, who served as Bidens
chief of staff for two decades
before replacing him in the
Senate,
has
been at the vice
presidents side
for
months,
brought back
into the immediate fold after
Bidens
son
died in May. He
and two other
Joe Biden
aides
have
formed a protective and tightlipped ring around Biden as he
ponders a 2016 campaign.
If he decides to run, we will
need each and every one of you
yesterday, Kaufman said, alluding to the breakneck speed at
which Biden would have to ramp
up a campaign after waiting this
long to enter. Kaufman said he is
confident Biden understands the
practical demands of making a
final decision soon.
Although Bidens small team
has been drafting a campaign
blueprint and screening likely
staffers for months, the letter to
Bidens former Senate, White
House and campaign aides marked
the most direct call to date for support for a potential campaign. It
came as a growing number of
Democratic leaders, including
Clintons campaign chairman,
expressed frustration with Bidens
delays and questioned whether it
was already too late.

Clinton aide Huma Abedin
questioned on Benghazi attacks
WASHINGTON A longtime aide to Hillary Rodham
Clinton said Friday she answered all questions posed by the
House Benghazi committee after a daylong
meeting behind closed doors that
Democrats said was unnecessary.
Huma Abedin said she answered questions to the best of my ability, adding
that she tried to be as helpful as I could be
to the committee investigating the 2012
attacks, which killed four Americans,
including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Abedin, committee staff and a few lawHuma Abedin makers met for nearly eight hours Friday
at a session focused on the Sept. 11,
2012, attacks. Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic
presidential nomination, is scheduled to appear before the
panel on Thursday in a widely anticipated public hearing.
Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., said questions to Abedin
focused on the Benghazi attacks, but also touched on
Clintons use of a private email account and server while serving as secretary of state.
Obama: If North Korea serious

on denuclearization, well talk
WASHINGTON U.S. is ready to negotiate with longtime
adversary North Korea as it has with Iran, but Pyongyang has
to be serious about abandoning nuclear
weapons, President Barack Obama said
Friday.
Obama was speaking after meeting with
South Korean President Park Geun-hye, a
close ally, who echoed the U.S. leaders
view. The North has conducted three
nuclear tests since 2006 and is developing
a mobile ballistic missile that could
potentially hit the U.S.
Barack Obama
Obama said Iran had been prepared to
have a serious conversation about the
possibility of giving up the pursuit of nuclear weapons. He
said theres no indication of that in North Koreas case.
International aid-for-disarmament talks with the North
stalled seven years ago.
At the point where Pyongyang says, Were interested in
seeing relief from sanctions and improved relations, and we
are prepared to have a serious conversation about denuclearization, its fair to say well be right there at the table,
Obama told a joint news conference.

Turkey shoots down unidentified

drone at its border with Syria
By Suzan Fraser
and Vladimir Isachenkov
ANKARA, Turkey Turkey shot

down an unidentified drone that flew
into its airspace Friday near the Syrian
border, while Russian President
Vladimir Putin said his countrys air
campaign backing a Syrian government offensive has killed hundreds of
militants.
A U.S. official said the downed drone
was Russian, but Moscow staunchly
rejected the claim.
The incident underlined the potential
dangers of clashes involving Russian,
Syrian and U.S.-led coalition planes in
the increasingly crowded skies over
Syria. Russian and U.S. military officials have been working on a set of
rules to prevent any problems.
The Turkish military said it issued
three warnings before shooting down
the aircraft with its fighter jets. It didnt specify how it had relayed the warnings to the operators of the drone.
The drone crashed 3 kilometers
(about 2 miles) inside Turkish territory,
said Foreign Minister Feridun
Sinirlioglu. We have not been able to
establish who the drone belongs to,
but we are able to work on it because it
fell inside Turkish territory, he added.
Earlier this month, Turkey had
protested two incursions by Russian
warplanes, which also drew strong condemnation from Turkeys NATO allies.

Russian, said a U.S. defense official,
who was not authorized to discuss
details of the incident and spoke on
condition of anonymity.
Moscow strongly denied ownership

of the drone.
I state with absolute responsibility
that all our drones are either performing tasks or staying at the base, said

U.S. envoy: Recent Iran missile test violated U.N. sanctions

By Edith M. Lederer
UNITED NATIONS Irans recent

ballistic missile test was a clear violation of U.N. sanctions, and the
United States will seek action from
the
Security
Council,
U. S.
Ambassador Samantha Power said
Friday.
Power said that after reviewing
available information, the United
States has confirmed that the mediumrange ballistic missile launched on
Oct. 10 was inherently capable of
delivering a nuclear weapon. She
said this violated a U. N. Security
Council resolution adopted on June 9,
2010 which imposed a fourth round of
sanctions on Iran.
It was Irans first missile test since
the historic nuclear deal reached July
14 between Iran and world powers.
While condemning the ballistic missile test, the Obama administration
made clear that it is entirely separate from the nuclear deal, which is
aimed at preventing Iran from developing atomic weapons.
The 2010 U.N. resolution bans Iran
from undertaking any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of
delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using ballistic missile
technology.
Power said the United States is
preparing a report to the Security
Council committee that monitors
sanctions against Iran. She did not

specify what action the U.S. would
seek.
The Security Council prohibition
on Irans ballistic missile activities,
as well as the arms embargo, remain
in place and we will continue to press
the Security Council for an appropriate response to Irans disregard for its
international obligations, she said
in a statement sent to the Associated
Press.
Shortly after the launch, White
House press secretary Josh Earnest
said Iran likely violated U.N. sanctions. But he stressed that Iran has
abided by its commitments made during the nuclear talks that led to the
historic deal.

Support for
Schneider and Gottschalk
Editor,
Your story Big donation causes
stir in Millbrae race in the Oct.
10 edition of the Daily Journal
about the Millbrae City Council
election was very misleading.
The San Mateo Building and
Construction Trades Council represents thousands of women and
men who are carpenters,
plumbers, electricians, painters
and many others who work at the
various building trades. Many of
these men and women live in
Millbrae. The political committee
formed in part by us is also being
nancially supported by these
many Millbrae women and men
tradespeople, not outsiders.
We are proud to support council
candidates Ann Schneider and
Mayor Robert Gottschalk for
election to the Millbrae City
Council. They have different
backgrounds and experiences but
both are highly qualied and we
urge their election.
Unfortunately, while we have
supported Gina Papan in the past,
we oppose her election to the
City Council in this election.
Ms. Papan does not share our
views about the accepted proposal
for the BART property. While disagreements are natural in such
projects, Ms. Papans past support for a hotel project on the site
which would have required a massive taxpayer subsidy, plus her
current unworkable idea for a larger BART project which would
cause signicantly more trafc for
Millbrae, has caused us to support
other candidates. Ms. Papan has
had eight years on the City
Council already. We believe it is
time for a fresh, new approach.
We urge our many members who
live in Millbrae to support Ann
Schneider and Robert Gottschalk
for City Council.

Keeping our colleges safe

Editor,
A recent letter written by a concerned citizen addressed the vulnerability of our community colleges to gun violence as occurred
at Umpqua College. He stated that
rapid response times to confront
an armed person would save lives

and is critical to the safety of the
campus community. He suggested
that our campuses need an armed
security force.
Currently, the three San Mateo
County colleges have memorandums of understanding with the
police agencies that serve our
campuses, providing service and
response of law enforcement as
needed. In addition, the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce
regularly patrols Caada College;
both San Mateo police and the
Sheriffs Ofce have ofcers
assigned to beats adjacent to
College of San Mateo; and the
city of San Bruno has an ofcer
assigned to the hilltop area of
Skyline College. Depending on
the nature of the call, response to
the campuses would range from 15 minutes for an emergency
request.
In addition to this police presence, each of our colleges has a
threat assessment team which is
made up of representatives from
the health ofce, psychiatric
services, administrative services
and public safety personnel. All
employees on campus know about
this team and are encouraged to
refer potentially problematic students, staff or others on campus
to the team for evaluation. This
team can be convened at any time
to evaluate potential threats to
campus safety.
Finally, every semester, we
offer a lockdown drill and provide
campuswide training for all
employees including how to
respond to gun and other violent
situations.
In short, our colleges rely on a
cooperative arrangement with
local law enforcement to respond
to major incidents on campus. We
consider our campuses to be very
safe, but we are also well prepared
to respond to any emergency.

Temporary sales tax

feels like an eternity
Editor,
Why does San Mateo need to
continue the sales tax they promised us was temporary when the
economy was ailing? San Mateo,
unlike surrounding communities,
has enormous sources of income
from retail sales e.g., Hillsdale
Shopping Center, Bridgepointe
Shopping Center, downtown San
Mateo and shopping areas
throughout the city, to development dollars coming in from the
massive construction projects all
across the city, especially Bay
Meadows and the
Concar/Delaware area, to
increased revenue from explosive
home prices. County Assessor
Mark Church said property
assessments have hit record
highs for four consecutive years.

So why the need to continue the

temporary tax? Is this due to
scal mismanagement? Or shifting infrastructure burdens from
developers onto citizens? Or an
unwillingness to deal with spiraling pension costs? Or with
employee salaries? Or what?
The Yes on Measure S supporters deliberately minimize that
S is a general sales tax that can
be used for anything, including
already substantial employee
salaries and benets.
And because 71 percent of San
Mateos budget goes toward
employee salaries and pensions,
only 29 percent is left for everything else. And that 71 percent is
only going to increase because

Putting an end to
summer learning
loss is a win for all
By Anne Campbell
The summer months can be a

memorable time for students of
all ages. But particularly for lowincome children, that break
between classroom exposure can
also be a time when precious
learning slips
away.
In San Mateo
County, we
want all of our
children to get
the right start.
Families on
strong financial footing
can more easily provide access
to quality preschool and enrichment programs during the first
five years of life when 95 percent of a childs brain development occurs.
However, the children of economically struggling families
often dont have the same opportunities and arrive at kindergarten already behind. Without
intervention, by third-grade,
many cant read at grade level.
This third-grade mark is a critical inflection point. Up to thirdgrade, kids learn to read. After
that, they must read to learn. If
our students dont have the ability to read, they cannot begin to
learn.
This is not a minor issue. Fifty
percent of San Mateo County
children are not reading proficiently by third-grade. These
children are the future contributors to our community and economy so leaving them without the
building blocks to acquire
knowledge hurts us all.
But theres a way to help.
Thats where The Big Lift
comes in. The County Office of
Education, the County of San
Mateo and the Silicon Valley
Community Foundation along
with up to 200 organizations
launched this bold social venture

U.S. stocks closed modestly higher

Friday, giving the market its third
straight week of gains.
Consumer staples and health care
stocks were among the biggest risers
as investors assessed the latest company earnings and economic news.
After several weeks speculating
about the implications of a slowdown
in China and the timing of an interest
rate increase by the Federal Reserve,
traders are squarely tuned into company earnings as they hunt for insight
into how the global economy is
doing.
Thats what the market is focused
on, said Quincy Krosby, a market
strategist at Prudential Financial. Are
we seeing a pickup in demand overseas
and in the United States, and if so,
which sectors? Thats what this is
about.
General Electric rose 3 percent, the
most in the Dow Jones industrial average, after the industrial conglomerate
reported earnings that beat analysts
forecasts.
The Dow rose 74.22 points, or 0.4
percent, to 17,215.97. The Standard &
Poors 500 index gained 9.25 points,
or 0. 5 percent, to 2, 033. 11. The
Nasdaq composite added 16.59 points,
or 0.3 percent, to 4,886.69.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq is up 3.2 percent this year. The Dow and S&P 500
are still negative. The Dow is down 3.4
percent, while the S&P 500 is off 1.3
percent.
The three major stock indexes began
the day slightly higher, then wavered
after midday. The indexes slipped into
the red at times before drifting back
into positive territory.
Investors appeared to brush off some
discouraging economic data, including
a Federal Reserve report indicating
that U.S. manufacturing production
fell for the second straight month in
September.
A separate
Labor
Department report showed that
employers advertised fewer job openings in August and kept hiring flat.
The job market has weakened the past
two months, reflecting slower global
economic growth.
All told, nine of the 10 sectors in the
S&P 500 rose. Health care and consumer staples stocks each gained about
1 percent. The industrials sector
declined 0.2 percent.
General Electric reported a decline in
third-quarter profit, but strong performances from its core units helped
the company top Wall Street expectations. GE rose 95 cents, or 3.4 percent, to $28.98.
Mattel climbed 6 percent after analysts at Oppenheimer published a
research note highlighting the toy-
makers core brands as a bright spot.

The report came a day after Mattel
reported disappointing third-quarter
results. Mattel gained $1. 36 to
$23.89.
Traders hammered Quanta Services
after the contracting services company
lowered its third-quarter profit and revenue outlook, citing project delays and
a tough market. The stock plunged
28.5 percent, losing $7.47 to $18.74.
Third-quarter earnings are forecast to
contract overall as falling energy
prices and weak global demand start to
eat into profits.
Among companies in the S&P 500
that have already reported third-quarter
results, earnings declined 5.1 percent
from a year ago, the first drop in earnings growth since the July-September
period in 2009, according to S&P
Capital IQ.
When all is said and done well
probably be looking at earnings that
are flattish for the quarter, said David
Lefkowitz, an executive director and
equity strategist at UBS. But excluding the energy sector, were looking
for 6 percent growth, which is consistent with what we saw earlier this
year.
The earnings season hits a peak next
week with scores of major companies
scheduled to report results including
Morgan Stanley, Boeing, General
Motors, McDonalds and Microsoft.
VW hires anti-corruption exec as it deals with scandal

By David McHugh and David Rising
FRANKFURT, Germany Volkswagen is

hiring a top anti-corruption manager from
competitor Daimler as it struggles to clean
up a scandal over cheating on U.S. diesel
emissions tests.
The company said Friday it would hire
lawyer Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt as an
executive on its top management body
tasked with integrity and legal affairs. She
begins Jan. 1.
Before working for Daimler, HohmannDennhardt, 65, served as a judge on
Germanys Federal Constitutional Court and
as justice minister in the state of Hesse in
southwestern Germany.
Daimler said it was agreeing to release her

from her contract as compliance executive
in the interests of good corporate governance.
Naming a compliance executive was a
step taken by Daimler AG and German
industrial equipment maker Siemens after
bribery scandals at those companies. The
idea is to put someone responsible for clean
business practices at the very top level of
management. German corporations are run
by a management board comprised of the
top executives, such as the CEO and the
chief financial officer.
U.S. officials say Volkswagen AG programmed diesel engines on 482,000 cars to
disable emission controls when the vehicles were not being tested. The company is
recalling 2.4 million 2009-2015 model

year cars with the deceptive software in
Germany and 8.5 million of them in total
across Europe.
The appointment comes as the company
reported that worldwide sales for all of
Volkswagens brands which also include
Audi, SEAT and Skoda fell 1.5 percent in
September to 885,300. The Volkswagen
brand itself fell 4 percent, to 513,500.
The scandal could only have hurt sales for
part of the month because it did not become
public until Sept. 18.
German
prosecutors
investigating
Volkswagens use of the software said Friday
theyre putting together a special team of
detectives to evaluate the massive amount of
data seized from the car manufacturer.
Wal-Mart, others speed up deliveries to shoppers

By Anne DInnocenzio
BETHELEHEM, Pa. Christmas wont

come early this year, but the gifts might.
Just in time for the winter holiday shopping season, Amazon, Wal-Mart, Macys and
other retailers are working behind the scenes
to make sure they can deliver online orders to
shoppers faster.
Retailers are building bigger warehouses
some the size of 20 football fields to
handle shipments. Theyre also sending
orders to shoppers directly from their
stores and using sophisticated software that
tells them the quickest, cheapest way to get
orders shipped. And Amazon is cutting the
time it takes to process an order from hours
to minutes by using robots to pull items for
shipment in its warehouses.

Its a race for time by retailers as more people shop online. U.S. online sales are
expected to increase 12 percent to $371 billion this year, accounting for 10 percent of
overall retail sales, says Forrester Research.
But as online shopping grows, so does the
impatience of shoppers who want their
orders fast.
Traditional brick-and-mortar stores are trying to catch up to Amazon.com, which set the
standard for speed with its two-day delivery
for members of its Prime loyalty program
who pay $99 a year. But even Amazon feels
pressure to please customers who have little
tolerance for lengthy delivery waits.
I would like to plan ahead, but Ive been
able to wait until the last minute to get things
done, said Keri Early, a Clyde, Illinois, resi-
dent who orders from Amazon frequently.

For many retailers, the goal to meet the
demands of shoppers like Early for speedy
service is to make two-day delivery standard.
Thats half the average for standard delivery
for the top 40 online retailers, according to
data company StellaService. But most are
stopping short of guaranteeing customers
faster deliveries.
Wal-Mart says it aims to get packages to
shoppers who get standard shipping within
two days for a majority of the U.S. this holiday season. The retailer now uses 83 of its
more than 4,500 U.S. stores to ship to customers.
The worlds largest retailer also is spending
$1.2 billion to $1.5 billion in online investments this year and $1.1 billion next year.
Thats up from last years $1 billion.
Ex-Microsoft CEO says hes taken 4 percent stake in Twitter

By Marley Jay
NEW YORK Los Angeles Clippers

owner and former Microsoft CEO Steve
Ballmer has bought a 4-percent stake in
Twitter, a vote of confidence in the struggling messaging company.
That makes Ballmer one of Twitters
largest shareholders.
A Twitter account that identified itself as
Ballmers said Friday morning that he

bought stock in Twitter in the last few
months. Seth Burton, a representative for
the Clippers, confirmed that Ballmer had
made the investment.
The high-profile investment comes as
Twitter is trying to win more users and turn
a profit. This month, its co-founder Jack
Dorsey returned as its permanent CEO. Then
the company announced that it would lay off
up to 8 percent of its workforce and unveiled
a new feature, Moments.

Those packages of commentary, video and
photos about major events are an attempt to
make Twitter more accessible and broaden
its appeal.
The companys shares lost about half
their value between late April and late
August as investors worried about Twitters
disappointing financial performance and
slowing user growth. The 9-year-old company has never reported an annual profit.
Braunschweig prosecutors spokesman

Klaus Ziehe said state police are assembling
about 20 investigators to work with his
office. Ziehes office last week searched VW
headquarters in Wolfsburg as part of its
probe to determine who was responsible for
the suspected fraud.
Were talking terabytes, not gigabytes,
and certainly many cartons of paper, said
Ziehe. A terabyte, a unit of digital information, is about 1,000 gigabytes.
Ziehe confirmed that the number of suspects is more than two but at the moment a
lot fewer than 10.
Where theyre from, what areas they
worked in and at what level, were not saying, but thats the number of accused we
have. That can change, he said.
Business brief
U.S. appeals court rules in
favor of Googles online library
NEW YORK Google is not violating
copyright laws by digitizing millions of
books so it can provide small portions of
them to the public, a federal appeals court
ruled Friday in a decadelong dispute by
authors worried that the project would spoil
the market for their work.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Manhattan agreed with a judge who concluded that the snippets Google showed customers from its database was a transformative use of the information and thus did not
violate copyright laws.
Judge Denny Chin ruled in November
2013 that Googles digitization of over 20
million books, mostly out-of-print titles,
did not violate copyrights because the
Mountain View-based company only
showed short sections of the books in its
database. Chin had said it would be difficult
for anyone to read any of the works in their
entirety by repeatedly entering different
search requests.
In an opinion written by Judge Pierre N.
Leval, the appeals court agreed, saying the
snippet feature substantially protects
against its serving as an effectively competing substitute for plaintiffs books.
It added: Snippet view, at best and after a
large commitment of manpower, produces
discontinuous, tiny fragments, amounting
in the aggregate to no more than 16 percent
of a book.

Super Bowl seems so long ago for 49ers, Ravens

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA John

Harbaughs Baltimore Ravens are
off to the worst start in franchise
history after beginning with high
hopes of another postseason run.
San Francisco is experiencing its
own turmoil, and the 49ers
havent been this bad since right
before departed coach Jim
Harbaugh took over in 2011.
And to think, these two struggling 1-4 teams played in the
Super Bowl just more than three
years ago.
Jim Harbaugh, Johns little
brother, is now leading Michigan
after San Francisco let him go as
last season ended and then promoted defensive line coach Jim
Tomsula.
I told the guys with a lot of
confidence, I know we have the
players to do the job, John
Harbaugh said. Its not like we
havent been competing in games
and we havent had a chance to win

every single one of these games.
Weve been our own worst
enemy.
The scrutinized Niners have lost
four straight but are encouraged by
some progress in last weeks late
30-27 road loss to the New York
Giants.
Its on everybody to really
count out all the extra noise, left
guard Alex Boone said. People are
going to say what theyre going
to say. Thats fine, but at the end
of the day we have to believe in
ourselves and as a team weve got
to know what were worth.
Here are some things to watch
for as Baltimore makes its second
trip in less than a month to the
Bay Area, where the Ravens lost
37-33 to Oakland on Sept. 20:
Harbaugh pride
John Harbaugh has little time to
be motivated by his brothers
hasty departure from the 49ers
nearly 10 months ago.
The Harbaugh family is ultraclose, and beating the team that

got rid of his brother after three
straight trips to the NFC title
game and a Super Bowl berth
would certainly be sweet.
Theres too much to worry
about and too much to prepare
for, Harbaugh said. Life moves
on. Jim loved his time there, he
loved the players, loved the fans,
loved being a 49er. They had four
great years and everybody moves
on to the next thing in life.
Familiar face
49ers wideouts Anquan Boldin
and Torrey Smith played for the
winning Ravens on that Super
Bowl team that beat San Francisco
34-31 after the 2012 season.
Other than those two, there are
only a handful of remaining players on either side who were in the
Super Bowl.
Boldin and Smith combined on
399 catches for 6,236 yards and
44 touchdowns while with the
Ravens. Boldin had six catches for

104 yards and a TD in the Super
Bowl win. That season, Smith
caught a team-high eight touchdown passes.
Only six 49ers Super Bowl
starters are still around: quarterback Colin Kaepernick, tight end
Vernon Davis, left tackle Joe
Staley, left guard Alex Boone, and
linebackers Ahmad Brooks and
NaVorro Bowman.
It definitely is a major change
from what it was just a short time
ago, Harbaugh said.
Kap on track?
Kaepernick looked more like
himself against the Giants, and
the Niners are counting on their
leader to get on track.
After throwing five interceptions over his previous two
games, Kaepernick didnt have a
pick.
He didnt seem fazed at all,
Boone said. He was the old
Colin, he was laughing and hav-
ing fun. Thats the guy we need

him to be.
In the Super Bowl season, San
Francisco was one of three teams
in the NFL to have the same five
starting offensive linemen every
game, but that new-look unit has
been inconsistent.
Up to speed
The Ravens running game is
starting to come together, as
Justin Forsett has topped the 100yard mark in two straight games.
Although Forsett is nursing a
sore right ankle, the offensive
line is eager to block for anybody.
We came out slow the first
game (73 yards rushing at
Denver), and ever since then its
been kind of like us trying to catch
back up and be where were supposed to be, guard Kelechi
Osemele said.
Left tackle Eugene Monroes
return last week helped, too. He
missed the previous three games
with a concussion.
Volquez sharp as Royals beat Blue Jays 5-0 in ALCS opener

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Edinson

Volquez gave the Blue Jays another
reason to rue him Friday night.
The Royals right-hander combined
with three relievers on a three-hitter,
Salvador Perez hit a soaring home
run off Toronto starter Marco Estrada,
and Kansas City rolled to a 5-0 victory in Game 1 of their American
League Championship Series.
Volquez (1-1) ramped up his fastball to 97 mph to slice through a
potent Blue Jays offense, never
allowing a runner past second base
over six innings. His only trouble
occurred when he walked the first two
batters in the sixth, but he wiggled
out of it without any damage.
The Royals bullpen finished off
the clubs eighth consecutive ALCS
victory.
There was a lot of energy, said

Volquez, who had been 0-3 with an
8.76 ERA in three postseason starts.
I dont know. I was just making my
pitches.
Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain
drove in runs off Estrada (1-1), while
Eric Hosmer and Kendrys Morales
tacked on two more off LaTroy
Hawkins to put the game away.
The Blue Jays three hits were their
fewest ever in a postseason game.
Tonight was the Volquez show. He
was tremendous, Blue Jays manager
John Gibbons said. He shut down a
good-hitting team, I know that. His
ball was ducking and darting everywhere.
As if the outcome wasnt bad
enough for them, designated hitter
Edwin Encarnacion left in the eighth
inning to get X-rays on the middle
finger of his left hand. The initial

report was a strain of the ligament
and Encarnacion was listed as day-today.
Hes been battling this thing,
Gibbons said. Well see how it
goes.
The Royals will try to take a 2-0
series lead when they send Yordano
Ventura to the mound on Saturday.
Toronto will counter with former Cy
Young Award winner David Price.
The teams entered the best-ofseven series with plenty of history.
To start with, the defending AL
champs beat Toronto in the 1985
league championship series, then
beat the St. Louis Cardinals for the
Royals only World Series triumph.
But far more recently were the tense,
benches-clearing game that the
teams played at Rogers Centre in
August.
Volquez was right in the thick of
things.
The veteran starter kept pitching
the Blue Jays inside, finally hitting
Josh Donaldson with a fastball.
Tensions escalated as the game went
on, with Toronto reliever Aaron
Sanchez returning the favor by hitting Escobar to trigger the first of
two benches-clearing scuffles.
Afterward, Volquez said Donaldson
was crying like a baby over his
inside approach. And to nobodys
surprise, Donaldson was booed lustily by the Kansas City crowd on
Friday night.
That was the only reason for the
packed house to boo, though.
After squandering a scoring chance
in the first inning, the Royals
jumped ahead in the third. Alex
Gordon led off with a double, Escobar

sent an RBI double down the rightfield line, and Cains two-out single
helped Kansas City so accustomed
to playing from behind to a 2-0
lead.
Perez added his third homer of the
postseason on the first pitch he saw
in the fourth, the cheering of the
throaty, flag-waving crowd reaching
a crescendo as it passed over the wall.
As shaky was Estrada was, Volquez
was downright stoic as he circled the
mound.
He did not allow a hit until his 56th
pitch, when Chris Colabello
chopped a single up the middle with
two outs in the fourth. It snapped a
postseason hitless streak of 10 2-3
innings for the Royals, one out shy
of matching the record set by the
New York Yankees in 1939.
Sharks win fourth straight to start season

By Tom Canavan
NEWARK, N.J. Martin Jones

fell just short of a third consecutive shutout, and then Joe
Pavelski and Brent Burns scored in
a shootout to lift the San Jose
Sharks to a 2-1 victory over the
winless New Jersey Devils on
Friday night.
Jones stopped 31 shots and
came within 3:38 of his third
shutout in four games as the
Sharks improved to 4-0 under for-
mer New Jersey coach Pete

DeBoer, who was fired by the
Devils last season. New Jersey is
0-3-1 under new coach John
Hynes.
Patrick Marleau scored for the
Sharks in the opening minute and
the goal stood until Adam Henrique
ended Jones shutout bid with a
tying power-play goal.
Henrique scored for New Jersey
on its first shootout attempt, but
Jacob Josefson was stopped on
the second and Mike Cammalleri
missed the net on the third.
On his goal, Henrique tipped a

shot from the point by Damon
Severson past Jones. It was the
first goal Jones had allowed in a
franchise-record 234 minutes, 33
seconds. The only score he had
given up this season came on the
first shot he faced in the season
opener against the Kings.
Both goaltenders were tested in
the overtime, with Cory Schneider
making the best stop, a pad save
on Burns after he deked two Devils
in front for a one-on-one chance
in close.
Henrique hit a goalpost earlier

in the extra five minutes, and Kyle
Palmieri missed the net on a
breakaway for New Jersey.
The Devils thought they tied the
game late in the second period
while killing off a penalty.
Stephen Gionta got a step on Paul
Martin and made a power move
toward Jones from the left circle.
Martin pushed him from behind,
and Gionta crashed into Jones as
he shoved a shot on goal.
Josefson fired the rebound into an
open net, but referee Dan
OHalloran immediately waved off

the goal.
The Devils complained, the
crowd booed and Jones shutout
streak continued.
Schneider, who was returning to
the lineup after missing two
games for the birth of his son,
kept New Jersey in the game earlier in the period when he stopped a
penalty shot by Marleau. Devils
defenseman Andy Greene had
hooked the Sharks forward as he
broke in for a shot, which he got
off and Schneider handled.

Jefferson 38 before turning the ball over on
downs.
With just over five minutes to play, the
normally explosive Jefferson offense
instead became methodical as the Grizzlies
simply ran the remaining five-plus minutes
off the clock to secure the victory.
Cual-Davis led the Jefferson offense with
111 yards rushing on 17 carries, but he was
just 7 for 11 passing for 78 yards.
We had a good defensive game plan,
Gianuario said.
Carlmont, which racked up 242 yards
rushing, was led by Jake Kumamoto, who
rushed 109 yards on 21 carries. Cutler Pons
had 52 yards on seven carries and scored on
a 31-yard run during which he broke about
six tackles as he kept his legs churning.
After Jefferson forced Carlmont to punt
on the first drive of the game, the Grizzlies
went to work. It appeared Carlmont had
them stopped and forced a punt, but a running into the punter penalty against
Carlmont gave Jefferson another shot.
SPORTS
Instead of punting, Cual-Davis hooked up
Armaan Harlin for a 27-yard gain and a first
down. Seven plays later, Caul-Davis found
Roshawn Livingston in the front corner of
the end zone for a 7-0 Jefferson lead.
CSM
The score stayed that way until the third

quarter, when the Grizzlies inability to field
a kickoff resulted in a pair of fumbles recovered by Carlmont that the Scots turned into
14 points. Carlmont recovered a fumble on
the second-half kickoff and Kumamoto
capped a 11-play, 37-yard drive with gametying score from 4 yards out.
games. He departed with a shoulder injury in

the first half of the Bulldogs Week 4 loss to
San Joaquin Delta. Then during Week 5, in a
42-10 win over American River, Wood didnt even suit up.
Now, after a bye week, Wood is ready to go
and has practiced all week.
Despite missing three halves of football
this season, Wood still paces the Bulldogs
with 267 rushing yards. But two running
backs are close behind that total, as Isaiah
Williams has rushed for 259 yards and
Ramiah Marshall for 255 yards.
We already have depth, Pollack said.
So [Wood returning] gives us more additional depth going forward.
And dont forget about Woods fellow Los
Carlmont recovered another fumble on the

ensuing kickoff and this time it was Pons
who used a bruising run from 31 yards out to
give the Scots a 14-7 lead.
When Jefferson finally held onto the ball,
it took advantage, needing just eight plays
to go 68 yards. Cual-Davis tied the score at
14 following a 14-yard run, setting up
Benjamins punt-return heroics minutes
later.
It was a tough one, Maddox said. We
kind of underestimated these guys
(Carlmont).

Gatos High School graduate in quarterback
Dru Brown, who is also a triple-digit rusher
with 114 ground yards. The freshman
regained form after committing four
turnovers three fumbles and an interception in the Delta loss.
Against American River, he threw for
three touchdowns for the third time this season.
Last week was really good, Pollack said.
He had a tough week against Delta, but he
bounced back and did a great job.
Santa Rosa, entering play with a 3-2
record, is led by sophomore quarterback
Vincent Jeffries, who ranks 22nd in the state
with 1,203 passing yards. And that is with a
limited performance in the Bear Cubs season opener, when he threw for just 22 yards.
The ground game has left something to be
desired though. Santa Rosa has rushed for
442 total yards, with JaNarrick James producing a majority with 333 yards on the

Yet the Warriors still have doubters who

have called them lucky or speculated that
teams like San Antonio have passed them
by in the Western Conference.
All of a sudden were not a top dog anymore, which is fine, center Andrew Bogut
said. I think its better and more motivation for us.
The only significant injury the Warriors

dealt with last season was to Lee and that
even proved to be a benefit because it got
Green in the lineup. Staying healthy again
could be more difficult because of the abbreviated summer following the long playoff
run. But the Warriors have depth and Kerr did
a good job managing minutes with no one
playing more than 33 minutes a night.
Big or small

Kerr had a magic touch as a rookie coach
starting with his move to start Harrison
Barnes in place of Andre Iguodala. He kept
Draymond Green in the starting lineup after
former All-Star David Lee recovered from a
preseason injury and then made two key
moves in the postseason. First, he put
Bogut on Tony Allen in a move that
switched momentum in the second round
against Memphis and then his decision to
go small in the finals by starting Iguodala
in place of Bogut was a key part of the finals
win. Golden State doesnt know when Kerr
Golden State had much of its success last

year with a small-ball lineup that had Green
at center in place of Bogut. That leaves a
combination of Iguodala, Barnes and Shaun
Livingston on the wing to go with the
shooting backcourt of Klay Thompson and
Curry. That lineup changed the tide in the
finals and could be a factor again this season
Im not offended by it, Bogut said. If I

Nashs influence
The Warriors lost associate coach Alvin
Gentry to New Orleans but added another
sharp offensive mind when former two-time
MVP Steve Nash was brought on as a consultant. Nash will work closely with Curry
and Thompson.
With my shooting ability, I draw so
much
attention, Thompson
said.
Hopefully this year I can expand my role as
far as play making and get other guys
involved and get other guys open shots. So
I see Steve helping me a lot in that aspect.
Contract talk
The Warriors face a Nov. 2 deadline to give
contract extensions to Barnes and backup
big man Festus Ezeli or they can become
restricted free agents next summer. While
Golden State would retain the right to match
any offer, the price could go up in the summer if Barnes and Ezeli have big seasons.
Both players and the team have expressed
interest in getting something done but it
likely wouldnt happen until close to the
deadline.

Athletics executive Billy Beane and
a retired Chevron Oil executive are
among the top excessive water users
in a district east of San Francisco,
utility records show.
A September report from the East
Bay Municipal Utility District says
Beane, who was the subject of the
Oscar-nominated
film
Moneyball, used about 6,000
gallons of water daily.
The district released the names
and consumption in response to a
public records request by the San
Jose Mercury News and other media
outlets covering the drought.
Beane released a statement.
Three irrigation leaks were
recently discovered and corrected. We
were more than displeased and embarrassed by the usage, Beane said.
Retired Chevron Oil executive
George Kirkland tops the list by
using more than 12,000 gallons of

average. He also pointed to previously undetected seepage.
I didnt realize I had a leak until I
got the water bill, Kirkland, who
irrigates his vineyard with drip irrigation, told the newspaper. Drip
irrigation doesnt help if you have a
leak you didnt know about.
Kirkland served as Chevrons vice
chairman and executive vice president. He started with the company in
1974 and retired in June.
Both face fines for using more
than 1,000 gallons of water per day.
The majority of the excess users
were in warmer, more affluent
Contra Costa County communities
with large yards, including Alamo,
Danville, Orinda and Lafayette, the
newspaper reported.
District board members said they
adopted the excess water-use penalties to give high users a message to
conserve, although some critics
argued wealthy customers would not
be deterred by the penalties.

Learning to
speak in code
By Emily Shen
By Lindsey Bahr
hen I finalized my class schedule for this year, I had taken

already three years of language
classes but, on a whim, decided to try a new
one, adding a computer science course
taught in Java to my
course load. I told myself
I had a responsibility as
a citizen of the 21st century to understand the
devices that rule our
lives.
It would be manageable, I said. Java is a language. Im good at languages. Im a fast typer. What could go
wrong?
But Java is not like Spanish, where my
teacher would nod sympathetically and
understand what I was saying even if I
wrongly conjugated a verb or mangled the
structure of my sentence. No, in Java, you
dont get credit for trying you have to be
as exact as possible for the computer to
understand you, which leaves no room for
mistakes, and the learning curve is steep.
And for me, that was hard. Sticking to
the rules all the time without any freedom
was hard. I started out as a careless coder. I
would make mistakes like forgetting to
leave spaces in between the sentences I was
printing, and the output from my code was
as jumbled and messy. A lot of the time, my
code wouldnt even run the Java Virtual
Machine would just refuse to understand my
code, and unlike a human that Id offended
or miscommunicated with, I couldnt buy
the JVM a cup of coffee and try to understand our differences. It was especially egowounding because I had always prided
myself on my communication abilities, but
it seemed they werent as strong as Id previously thought.
I started making excuses Ive always
been a less-than-stellar math and science
Steven Spielbergs Bridge of Spies, much

like its misunderstood litigator, is a film that
plays the long game. This complex Cold War
drama soaked in shadows, blues, grays and
furrowed brows, is a slow burn that challenges the audience to trust where its going.
In this fictional rendering of how a
Brooklyn insurance lawyer ended up negotiating a high-stakes prisoner exchange at
the height of the Cold War, Spielberg and
writers Matt Charman and Joel and Ethan
Coen toss details at you, shake them all
around and piece them back together in the
third act, when the form of the puzzle starts
to take shape. Only then can you begin to
fully appreciate just how lean and purposeful every moment is.
Suddenly that seemingly random conversation about clients and incidents
from the first act isnt an outlier after all
- it means everything. As a first time
viewing experience, its like not realizing youve been playing a game of chess
until youve already lost.
Thats all to say that Bridge of Spies,
which waxes poetic - and occasionally
cynically - on patriotism, honor, and
duty, echoes in your mind long after
the credits roll and begs for a secSee SPIES, Page 20

prize-winning Proof
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
KEVIN BERNE
Student Hal (Lance Gardner) and his professor Robert (L. Peter Callender) argue while Catherine
(Michelle Beck) listens in TheatreWorks Silicon Valleys production of Proof.
How could a young woman with limited

formal training have developed a proof that
could revolutionize the mathematical
world?
Thats one of the questions at the crux of
Proof, David Auburns award-winning
play presented by TheatreWorks.
Its not out of the question that Catherine
(Michelle Beck) could have accomplished
such a feat because she is the daughter of
Robert (L. Peter Callender), an eminent
math professor at the University of
Chicago.
As the play opens, they are chatting in
their backyard, and he wishes her a happy
25th birthday. It all seems normal enough,

but this is an imaginary conversation. He
died of heart failure a week ago, and his
funeral is the next day.
Another question in the play is whether
the depressed Catherine may have inherited
Roberts debilitating mental illness, which
had caused her to drop out of Northwestern
University to look after him.
Catherines older sister, Claire (Ashley
Bryant), who has returned home for the
funeral, wonders the same thing and wants
her to move to New York City, where she is
a currency analyst. Apparently shes successful, judging by her stylish appearance
and the fact that she paid the bills when
Robert couldnt work.

IS THIS THE HALLOWEEN
THAT HOUDINI RETURNS? What
would be more wonderful to me than to
... converse with my beloved mother?
So wrote the 50-year-old Harry Houdini
in A Magician Among the Spirits two
years before his own death on
Halloween 1926. Every year since
Houdinis death, relatives and admirers
have tried to make contact with the
spirit of the great escape artist.
Nowadays, The Ofcial Houdini Sance
takes place annually on Halloween, in
a different city each year. This
Halloween, The Ofcial Houdini
Sance takes place at San Franciscos
Brava Theater as part of the Bay Area
Science Festival. Magician Robert
Strong leads Wonderfest, Bay Area
Skeptics
and
the
Pan-Pacic
International Exposition in presenting
a day of science, history, escapes and
magic. The Sance is authorized by
Tom Boldt and Bill Radner, son of
Houdini collector (and protg of
Houdinis brother, Hardeen) Sidney
Radner. San Francisco honors the tradition by leveraging the Bay Areas
wealth of scientic and technical
expertise. You may not make contact
with the great Houdini, but youll have
a chance to learn about psychology,
history, magic ... and the balance
between skepticism and wonder that
makes science such a joy. Take part in
The Ofcial Houdini Sance 2015: a

WEEKEND JOURNAL
SPIES
ond viewing.
On the page, Bridge of Spies is the
story of everyman James B. Donovan (Tom
Hanks), a lawyer and family man who takes
on the thankless task of representing
Soviet Agent Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance)
in a trial, only to then be called on to
negotiate his exchange for a detained U.S.
soldier on behalf of the CIA. But thats just
scratching the surface of this very thoughtful meditation on doing the right thing embodied in the burgeoning friendship
between Abel and Donovan.
STUDENT
student, I probably wouldnt learn that
much code anyway, Im not going to
spend my life doing this when I grow up.
This is automatic and lifeless and cold,
Donovan fights for Abel despite the

scorn of the public, the indifference of the
legal system and the danger to his family.
When he goes to Berlin to negotiate the
exchange of Abel for a detained U-2 pilot
Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell),
Donovan decides, against the wishes of the
U.S., to try to tack on the release of another imprisoned American as well.
This all makes Donovan sound like a
martyr. The film fights against that cozy
idea, though. Donovan is not sentimentalized or propped up in an unbelievable way.
In Hanks hands, Donovan is a real person,
runny nose, doubts and all. Reality, tedium
and wit supersede the hyperbole of the
great man myth. In this way, it makes
Bridge of Spies feel like a spiritual companion to Lincoln.
Perhaps most unexpected, though, is

how Rylance sneaks up on you and proves
himself to be the heart, soul, and standout
of the film.
The Shakespearean actor is actually the
first person we meet, in an elegant, nearly
dialogue-free opening showing the FBIs
real time pursuit and arrest of Abel. Cold
War-era fears want to paint him as the face
of the enemy, but Rylance makes Abel
sympathetic, and even docile. He plays
him as a highly intelligent foot soldier
whos seen enough to know that even possible execution isnt enough to get worked
up over. Its impossible not to like him.
But the storys focus on Abel is juxtaposed with near indifference to Francis
Gary Powers and the detained American student Frederic Pryor (Will Rogers).
Donovan wants to get them both out, and

is confident enough in his negotiating
skills to defy the CIA in the process, but
the film doesnt seem to care if you care
about them - at least not in the way it does
for Abel.
Its in these unexpected details and
choices that Spielberg continues to defy
our skeptical movie expectations. He has a
point of view, he has a plan, and he
remains in a class of his own in his ability
to both execute those ambitions and entertain in the process.
Bridge of Spies, a Walt Disney Studios
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for some
violence and brief strong language.
Running time: 142 minutes. Three stars
out of four.
and the world doesnt need me to code for

it because any number of people could fill
my place and do the exact same job.
But it started getting interesting when
we started moving to more complex concepts. I learned how many different ways
you could solve a problem when I worked
with a partner on an assignment and saw
how much we disagreed, from even the
spacing and physical format of our code to
whether a certain kind of
statement best fit the problem we were trying to
solve. It got even more
interesting when we started
object-oriented programming, where we defined
objects in code with actions and attributes

just like we did in real life. Slowly, my
code started to become less lifeless as it
developed a personality of its own I
like using a certain kind of input format
because its more convenient and I will
always stick to plain old if-else statements because, to me, it reads the most
realistically.
As it grew on me, I also realized how
hypocritical my quickness to judge had
been. Im one of the liberal arts education
proponents that frown upon people that
set themselves on pre-professional tracks
from the minute they enter high school,
yet I almost gave up on something that
ended up teaching me a lot just because it
was out of my comfort zone.

I dont plan on being the next Steve
Jobs or one of the slowly but surely growing population of female coders ready to
shatter the glass ceiling. While I may not
remember how to select a random integer
or how to install a scanner utility 10 years
down the line, I will remember that coding
taught me the importance of problemsolving and clarity and be proud of the
fact I chose to challenge myself.
PROOF
Perhaps the largest doubt about
Catherines ability to develop the
proof comes from Hal (Lance Gardner),
who was Roberts doctoral protg and
who now teaches at Chicago. He has
been going through Roberts notebooks to see if they contain anything
beyond gibberish.
The action shifts between the current
time and four years ago, when Robert
was in remission.
Director Leslie Martinson artfully
guides her fine cast. Beck has the
biggest challenge because Catherine is
plagued by her fears, annoyed at

Claires take-charge approach and

attracted to Hal. Becks keen timing
allows Catherine to process information before responding.
Although Claire seems controlling,
Bryant shows that she truly cares
about Catherine and worries about her
mental stability.
Callenders Robert has multiple
facets as a caring father and brilliant
mathematician in his lucid moments
and manic as his illness returns.
Gardners Hal takes pride in his
geekiness, but he can be both endearing and cautious in dealing with
Catherine.
Auburns 2000 play won the Tony
Award for best play and Pulitzer Prize
for drama. TheatreWorks staged it in
2003, and Foster Citys Hillbarn
Theatre presented it in March.

Although both were excellent, especially the one by TheatreWorks, this
one is even more effective, and not just
because of the actors. Adding to the
seemingly inherent prejudice against
women in the sciences, director
Martinson inserts another variable by
using an all-black cast.
Running about two hours and 20
minutes with one intermission,
Proof is a multi-dimensional, gripping play that resonates especially
well in Silicon Valley.
It will continue at the Mountain
View Center for the Performing Arts,
500 Castro St. , Mountain View,
through Nov. 1. For tickets and information call (650) 463-1960 or visit

Elba and Fukunaga

subscribe for Netflixs
Beasts of No Nation
By Jake Coyle
TORONTO The early conversations between director

Cary Fukunaga and Idris Elba about their child soldier drama
Beasts of No Nation began with, Elba says, the two discussing the level of depth that he and I wouldnt mind plunging into.
There is a version of this film thats a lot more commercial and a lot easier for the audience, Elba said in an interview. Cary didnt want to do that. I didnt want to do that.
Beasts of No Nation is instead a brutal descent into war,
as seen from a boys perspective, and its commercial
prospects are essentially already sewn up. The film, in which
a West African boy (Abraham Attah, a nonprofessional 15year-old from Ghana) is orphaned by war and enlisted into a
rebel army led by Elbas Commandant, was acquired by
Netflix to be its first original feature film.
When Beasts of No Nation hits the service Friday, it will
play in a limited theatrical run through indie distributor
Bleecker Street. But most will see it at home, the first foot
forward in Netflixs new initiative. The streaming services
foray into film has already sent shockwaves through
Hollywood and drawn deals with the likes of Brad Pitt, Adam
Sandler, Leonardo DiCaprio and Judd Apatow.
Beasts of No Nation is a boldly uncompromising war
drama that kicks off a bold new chapter in movie streaming.
Its definitely not an easy film to watch, says Elba. Its
got balls.
Beasts of No Nation also wasnt an easy film to make.
Fukunaga, the 38-year-old filmmaker of the acclaimed first
season of True Detective, the Charlotte Bronte adaptation
Jane Eyre, and his immigrant drama debut Sin Nombre,
had wanted to make a film about child soldiers for more than
a decade. It took form when he came across Uzodinma
Iwealas 2006 novel of the same name.
Fukunaga insisted the film, made for $6.3 million (and
bought by Netflix for $12 million), be shot in West Africa.
He settled on Ghana, where no Hollywood movie had been
made before.
It was a tremendously complicated, problematic, unlucky
production, says Fukunaga. I cant believe we got through
it.
Fukunaga and others got malaria. His camera operator
pulled a hamstring, so Fukunaga filled in. When they were
needed, extras would refuse to show up without more money.
Military equipment necessary guns and vehicles arrived
unpredictably. The crew had no weather forecasts, so they
didnt know when rain was going to last for 20 minutes or all
day. Elba got the flu. Not far away, Ebola was breaking out.
It was so early then. No one knew how big it was going to
get, says Fukunaga of the disease. By the time we finished
shooting, it was a full blown epidemic.
Throughout the seven-week shoot, Elba largely stayed in
character as the warlord whose ragtag militia indoctrinates
boys into rampaging and killing.
The extras that hadnt had much experience preferred that
I was always the commander, says Elba. That was definitely really good texture for what ended up on film. It feels in the
moment the whole time because it was in the moment, a lot
of it.
In one of the most powerful performances of his career,
Elba is a commanding presence as the rebel leader. Despite
the darkness demanded of the character, the British actor says
it left little residue.
The first thing I did when we wrapped was fly to Ibiza and
DJ. Shook him right off, said Elba. There was definitely an
impression left on me, but more from the point of view of
being aware of the plight of young boys who are thrown into
these makeshift armies, doing these unbelievably violent,
atrocious things.
When Netflix came in with an offer for Beasts of No
Nation, Fukunaga struggled with the decision. He believes
strongly in the big-screen experience of movies, and hopes
people seek the film in theaters. But Fukunaga was won over
by the passion of Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos,
who agreed to the simultaneous theatrical release.
With 61 million-plus subscribers, Netflix means a much
larger audience: Our reach will be so far beyond what Ive
done in the feature world, says Fukunaga.
Elba calls the deal a sign of the times.
On a Friday night, Im probably not going to see a film
about child soldiers, he says. Netflix came in with a very
bold effort and bought it. That was very exciting for everybody. It certainly helped the films profile. The controversy
around Netflix has certainly not hurt our film.
Sarandos, who declined to comment for this story, has
become a regular fixture on the festival circuit, sometimes
dropping hefty acquisition prices for edgy films like Beasts
of No Nation. It suggests Netflix will bankroll films that
Hollywood might not.
Fittingly, the first shot of Beasts of No Nation looks
through the inside of a television set that children have hollowed out.
Beasts of No Nation is a brutal descent into war, as seen from a boys perspective.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Truth is elusive, slippery

in entertaining Truth
By Jocelyn Noveck
Theres a scene in Truth, James

Vanderbilts crisp, absorbing new film about
the doomed 2004 CBS story on then-president George W. Bush and his National Guard
service, where execs are doing something
utterly mundane. Theyre looking at a calendar, scheduling a broadcast.
Between sports and fluffy specials, there
arent many dates available for the potentially explosive 60 Minutes II story. Unless,
someone asks, it could be ready to air in just a
few days? Producer Mary Mapes (Cate
Blanchett, at her jittery, high-octane best),
agrees, knowing how tough thatll be, but up
to the challenge. And we all shudder, because
we know what happened. Maybe, if there had
been more time for reporting, things would
have been different?
Later, theres a moment when a decision
must be made within seconds, literally, about
where to make a crucial cut. Again, we watch it
happen, and we suck in our breath.
Movies about the craft of journalism
how the sausage gets made arent always
nail-biters. Credit goes to Vanderbilt (who
also penned the script) and his cast
Blanchett, Robert Redford, and Stacy Keach
especially for making a cracklingly entertaining newsroom film about an endlessly
thorny story, to say the least.
Not that everyone will find Truth perfect,
or close. The film is based on one point of
view: that of Mapes, who lost her job in the
fallout and on whose own book the script is
based. CBS does not fare well here. But
Vanderbilt seems less interested in finding an
ultimate answer Mapes still maintains the
story was accurate than in the process of
how these waters got so muddied. With the
exception of Dan Rather, who anchored the
fateful story, apologized for it and stepped
down soon after, his characters are nearly all

flawed. And with the exception of one
eleventh-hour speech highly critical of
Viacom, CBSs parent company, the film
largely avoids temptation to be too preachy.
We meet Mapes at the pinnacle of her
career, acclaimed for reports like one on the
abuse at Abu Ghraib. One day, a tip lands in
her inbox. She assembles a crack research
team to probe just how Bush got into the
Texas National Guard in the first place
which kept him from Vietnam duty and
then whether he fulfilled the terms of his service.
Mapes report hinges in part on documents
that would have come from an early 1970s
typewriter. The morning after the report,
pride and congratulations are in the air. It
doesnt last. CBS is hit with claims that the
memos were faked. Questions are raised about
fonts and superscript. Mapes and her crew race
to defend their reporting.
As everything spirals out of control,
Mapes tries to point out that the documents
were a small part. They werent the whole
story. But nobody wants to hear that.
Two terrific speeches stand out. One is
delivered for all its worth by Blanchett, who
tells an investigating panel just how difficult
and unlikely it would have been for someone
to fake the documents. Another is heartbreaking. It comes just after a key source Bill
Burkett, played with great crustiness by
Keach has been put through the wringer on
camera by a CBS team desperate to deflect
blame. Burketts wife (Noni Hazelhurst) laces
into the journalists for throwing her husband
to the lions. Its a searing moment.
The acting is uniformly excellent. Most
interesting is Redford. Without attempting to
imitate, he captures Rathers drawl and goodnatured derring-do. Its a hugely appealing
performance, but whether the role itself is
accurately drawn might be another question.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
RAIL
area is 2029.
One common theme from the documents: Where will the
money come from to make that happen?
The total funding identified is still insufficient to deliver an initial operating segment, Parsons wrote in its 17page submission. This shortfall, as well as the uncertainty around these sources, must be addressed.
The state Legislature agreed last year to provide the first
ongoing source of financial support to the project by tapping revenues from the states greenhouse gas emissions
program in which companies buy and sell pollution credits.
That amounted to $750 million over the last two fiscal
years, with a promise of 25 percent of cap and trade revenues into the future. Voters in 2008 also approved nearly
$10 billion in bonds, and the federal government has committed $3.5 billion in matching funds.
Because ticket fees are not expected to generate nearly
enough revenue to cover debt from construction, there
must be significant government funding, AECOM wrote in
its 23-page submission.
One critic of the project doubts it can attract investments
from outside government.
No private investor will hand over the billions they are
asking for and then allow the state to own and govern the
use of that investment, said William Grindley, a retired
international business consultant who has closely followed
and consistently raised doubts about the project.
In the documents, many firms suggested breaking the
project up into smaller contracts, typically in the $3 billion to $5 billion range. Anything much larger could scare
off even the worlds largest construction and financing
firms, the respondents said.
The market cannot absorb a single $20 billion contract, a group led by ACS Infrastructure Development, Inc.
wrote, arguing that the risk to a construction firm would be
too high and that financial institutions would not invest
into a project of such unprecedented scale and cost.
Officials with the rail authority called the receipt of 36
responses a sign that the private sector is very interested.
Two years ago, we were calling them and now theyre
calling us, Alley said. This project is real for a lot of people, more so than before.
The authority plans to interview respondents over the
next few months and publicly discuss next steps in the new
year, Alley said.

Larson channels her

childhood for Room
By Lindsey Bahr
about a woman, Ma
(Larson), who was
kidnapped, imprisoned in a tiny shed
and impregnated by
her captor. She
strives to create a
beautiful world for
her son Jack (Jacob
Tremblay), whos
Brie Larson
now five.
Larson prepared intensely for the
role, which has been earning her critical raves and awards buzz. She whittled down to 12 percent body fat,
avoided the sun, studied the effects of
sexual abuse and shut herself off from
people for a month to understand
where the mind goes with that much
solitude.
During this time, Larson realized
she related to Room more deeply
than she could have imagined. When
she was 7, her mom packed up their
old Mercedes and drove from
Sacramento to Los Angeles with
Larson and her younger sister. She
thought they were only staying a few
weeks for pilot season.
Before they left Sacramento, her
father had asked for a divorce, a cold
truth shed learn years later. A studio
apartment with a shared murphy bed
became their home.
It wasnt much bigger than Room.
We didnt have much, she said. And
yet I remember it being one of the
greatest times of my life just me,
my mom and my sister all the time,
doing whatever we wanted. (My mom)
had such a strong imagination.
She also remembers waking up in
LOS ANGELES Look at this!

Theres a line! Brie Larson says,
beaming and pointing at the queue outside Cinefamily, an artsy, singlescreen theater in LAs Fairfax district.
Weeks before its limited release
Friday, Larson arranged a free screening of Room for the Women of
Cinefamily group, which she helped
co-found over a year ago. On the drive
from the hotel, she was nervous about
the turnout. Now shes worried there
wont be enough seats.
Its 7 p.m. and shes been going full
speed since a photo shoot 12 hours
ago. Her day the day before her
26th birthday isnt close to being
over. When shes done introducing
Room at the theater, shell race over
to her agency for a question-andanswer session with industry types,
only to return to Cinefamily for the
after-screening Q&A.
In the car, she takes off her sky high
heels for a moment, joking that good
professionals keep her looking fresh.
This is the life of an actress on the
rise, and Larson has been working for
almost 20 years for a moment like
this.
Shes all smiles when she walks
onto the patio in the back of the theater, where a small reception is well
underway, and immediately runs over
to a group of friends who are laughing
and showing Instagram photos of
their art.
Room,
based
on
Emma
Donoghues bestselling novel, is
the night to her moms muffled sobs

the key to understanding her character. Larson even does the self-stifled
cry in Room.
Acting isnt like being an athlete.
Theres no real quantifiable measure.
Its just a bunch of people feeling
things, said Larson. It becomes so
impossible to imagine that anyone
ever gets one job, let alone two. Its
like constantly winning the lottery.
From Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
to 21 Jump Street, The Gambler
and even this summers Trainwreck,
shes someone you always notice, no
matter how small the part. A starring
role in the 2013 indie Short Term 12
helped her realize that she was capable
of carrying a feature, too.
She has that luminosity and that
immediate presence that all stars
have, but she also blends into her
character completely, said Room
director Lenny Abrahamson. She
doesnt have that problem that some
real starry actors have that theyre
implausible as real people.
Her first acting coach told her to sit
on her hands and act with her face. He
taught me to not add all these extra
trappings. The smallest micro-expression is picked up, she said.
Next, shes taking a U-turn away
from indies to star in Kong: Skull
Island alongside Tom Hiddleston.
Shes excited that there will be a bigger audience, but shes mainly in it
because of her interest in mythology.
Shes got directing ambitions, too,
and already has a few short films to her
name. But for the moment, its all
about Room.
FIRE
The fire was extinguished and patients are safe, but restoring power took several more hours, Thaw said.
About 70 of the facilities approximately 270 patients
were transferred to the county-run San Mateo Medical
Center and other skilled nursing facilities while the power
was out. Power was restored by early evening and work was
beginning to bring those patients back, Thaw said.
The transfer would take place over the next few days as it
was getting late in the day, she added.
Marcus Weenig, CEO of the facility, said while the fire
was minor and there are electrical generators sufficient for
the facility on site, the uncertainty of when the power
would be back on led to the decision to find care elsewhere
for those patients with the most critical need for electrical
equipment. He said he expected everyone to be back at the
facility by Monday. He also said regular fire and emergency
drills helped with this situation.
Without knowing when we might have power, we knew
we could not delay the relocation of those residents, he
said.
As of 8:30 p.m. Friday, Weenig said the remaining residents were back in their rooms and that, things have settled down tremendously.
Louise Rogers, chief of San Mateo County Health
System, said it was a top priority to make sure there were
facilities available to receive the residents Friday. We are
doing everything we can to ensure a safe and comfortable
stay for each resident, Rogers said.
Eight SamTrans vehicles were committed to assist in the
transfer, an official from the public transit agency said.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
ART
has published through the same press
company that printed the Adventures
of Tintin, and other famous books for
children.
Now she and her husband Adrien
Duermael, 28, are now looking to
build on that success, as they branch
out on an independent venture, which
has been met with unexpected enthusiasm and support, according to Adrien
Duermael.
Initially, the Duermaels asked for
roughly $10,000 to get the project off
the ground, with the intent to use their
own money to supplement the effort.
They have received more than
$180,000 from supporters.
Laurel Duermael said she was caught
off guard by the outpouring of support
fans have shown for her effort, and is
ready to test the waters of independent
publishing.
I was surprised, she said. But I
prefer to try [self] publication to see if
I can do it in the future.
Though Laurel Duermael has published more than a dozen books
already, Adrien Duermael said in France
it can be challenging to truly gauge the
enthusiasm of an audience because
there is so little connection between
an artist and their fans.
French publishing companies frequently act as the middle party to reap
the benefits of a popular piece of art,
isolating the artist and leaving them
to wonder how well their work is actually being received, said Adrien
Duermael.
The financial disconnect that had
previously existed between Laurel
Duermael and her fans is part of the reason why the couple is so overwhelmed
by the tremendous wave of backing the
new project has received, he said.
Sometimes you feel like communi-
CHOW
leader of the Chinese fraternal group
Ghee Kung Tong.
The FBI alleges Ghee Kung Tong was
a racketeering enterprise, and that
undercover agents laundered $2.6 million in cash from illegal bookmaking
through the organization. The investigation of the Ghee Kung Tong also led
to the arrest of former state senator
Leland Yee, who pleaded guilty to racketeering in July.
Chow is also accused of soliciting
the murder of Jim Tat Kong, a suspected organized crime figure.
Prosecutors have said two of Chows
ty is not supportive, Adrien Duermael

said. It is great to see they are actually supportive.
The adoration of fans did not occur
by accident though.
Laurel Duermael draws a new page of
Comme Convenu, their independent
project, every day, then uploads it to
her website, and spends much of the
rest of her time interacting with fans
and responding to their comments
about the recent work.
The willingness to engage with fans
has developed a deep sense of connection between the artist and her audience, said Adrien Duermael.
Its like a love affair with the community, he said.
Laurel Duermael spent more than a
decade developing her fan base, said
Adrien Duermael, as she was one of the
early adopters to publishing her work
online when she started an art blog in
2003.
Her appreciation for art started much
earlier though, stemming from her parents love for comic books, said Laurel
Duermael.
She spent her childhood drawing and
honing her skills before eventually
making her projects her profession,
she said.
I love books and comic books since
always, she said. It is my passion.
Comme Convenu is inspired by the
former co-defendants, Kongphet
Chanthavong and Andy Li, will implicate Chow in the murder plots.
Chanthavong will testify that Chow
was angry with Leung because he
wouldnt loan Chow money from the
Tong and wanted to replace him so he
could control the organization, prosecutors say in court documents.
Chow ordered the hit outside an
Oakland bar, though Chanthavong
said he did not immediately know the
target was Leung, prosecutors say.
Chow accused Kong of trying to
intimidate people in another group,
according to prosecutors. Kong was
found shot to death in 2013.
Chows attorney, Curtis Briggs, has
said his client had nothing to do with
the slayings and has called the allegations ridiculous.
Duermaels moving from France in

2013 and assimilating to culture in
Burlingame, said Laurel Duermael.
Its the true story of when we
moved, she said. It is inspired by
reality.
After two years, the two are beginning to feel comfortable living and
working in San Mateo County, said
Adrien Duermael.
We really like this place, he said.
The Duermael home is enveloped in
art, and her characters and drawings are
ever present in each room, as doodles
printed on stickers and framed drawings decorate many of the walls
throughout the house.
The drawings are vibrant and playful, as much of it is inspired by the
couples daughter Cerise, who is also
the focus of the book series Laurel
Duermael had previously published.
Adrien Duermael, who works a coder
for a technology company in San
Francisco, said Cerise Duermael is
growing a passion in Burlingame
schools at the intersection of her parents work as she is learning to love art
and mathematics.
Should their daughter continue down
the path to pursue a lifelong appreciation for art, she would be following in
the footsteps of her mothers development.
Laurel Duermael was named after a
comic book character herself, as her
parents were dedicated fans of the
artists who drew the material which
was eventually translated into The
Fifth Element, the movie starring
Bruce Willis.
The beauty of appreciation for art
being passed through generations and
culminating with a new venture
inspired by a familys journey is not
lost on Adrien Duermael, he said.
To be named after a comic book and
become a comic, he said. Thats like
destiny.

Chow previously pleaded not guilty

to racketeering and money laundering
and is scheduled to go on trial next
month. On Thursday, a judge said he
would exclude a capital murder charge
from Chows upcoming trial, meaning
it would have to be tried separately.
Prosecutors wanted to delay Chows
trial to allow the U. S. Justice
Department to determine whether to
seek the death penalty against him in
Leungs killing, but the judge denied
that request.
In a filing Friday, prosecutors asked
the judge to delay excluding the capital
murder charge until Chows scheduled
Nov. 2 trial. If the Department of
Justice decides not to seek the death
penalty against Chow, the charge
should be included in the trial, prosecutors said.
