Rodeo in her heart

Emilie Montoya, from Pacifica, named 2016 Miss Grand National Rodeo
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

At the age of 4, Pacifica resident Emilie

Montoya hopped on an Appaloosa gelding
for the first time. Now, at the age of 22, she
owns one.
She started competing in rodeos at the age
of 13 and this past weekend at the Cow
Palace in Daly City, Montoya was named
2016 Miss Grand National Rodeo, one of

the most prestigious crowns in all of the

sport.
Its more than a title, however, as
Montoya will be the Grand National
Rodeos ambassador for the next year, promoting the Western lifestyle.
To earn the crown, Montoya showed she
has a broad knowledge of all things rodeo
including livestock, agriculture and science.
She currently studies animal science at

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo after attending

College of San Mateo. Graduating next
spring, Montoya plans to pursue a masters
degree in reproduction.
For more than 70 years, the Grand
National Livestock Exposition, Horse
Show and Rodeo held at the Cow Palace has
been the Wests most prestigious Westernlifestyle event.

Pacifica resident Emilie Montoya was crowned

Millbrae planning officials to discuss

massive housing, office developments
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

AUSTIN WALSH/DAILY JOURNAL

Students at Washington Elementary School in Burlingame showed off their costumes in the annual Halloween
parade on the schools playground Friday, Oct. 30. Some students, accompanied by members of the Burlingame
High School band, paraded on to visit residents at Atria, the nearby senior assisted living facility.

Two large housing and office

developments proposed to be built
near the Millbrae train station are
primed to take a significant step
forward, as city officials may
begin to lay the groundwork for
formal approval.
The
Millbrae
Planning
Commission will examine the
environmental impact report, general plan revisions and Millbrae
Station Area Specific Plan during a
meeting Monday, Nov. 2, which
will establish guidelines for two
projects that aim to add new

homes, businesses and office

space to a 116-acre site next to the
Caltrain and Bay Area Rapid
Transit station near Millbrae
Avenue.
Should the commission approve
the findings of the reports, the
developments would move to the
City Council for a final OK of constructing 400,000 square feet of
office space, about 79,000 square
feet of retail space and more than
800 residential units split between
two projects.
City staff is recommending the
Planning Commission certify the

Speaking up for a good cause

Hillsborough students contribute to synthetic voice project
By Austin Walsh

www.smdailyjournal.com

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Students in Hillsborough are doing their

part to make life better for those less fortunate by contributing to a project that gives a
voice to the voiceless.
Crocker Middle School students collectively donated hundreds of hours of vocal
recordings which will be technologically
transformed into a unique voice for those
diagnosed with illnesses such as cerebral
palsy which require them to use an automated
device for speaking.
VocalID, a company headquartered in
Boston, analyzes the recording samples and
matches those with people of a similar age,
gender and other factors to create a mechanized voice which identifies with the user.
Engineers at the company will record samples of the sounds the recipients are capable
of making, then virtually analyze the defining characteristics such as depth and tone to
help find a proper match from the voice sample database.
Once a match is found, technicians are able
to blend the two sound samples together to
create a new, unique, customized voice which
will be transmitted when the recipient communicates through the speech program on
their computer.
To build a strong database of vocal samples
which align with the variety of different people who may be interested in the technology,
VocalID is looking to collect as many voice
recordings as possible, which inspired one
local mother to get Hillsborough students
involved.
Laurel Miranda, a special education parent
mentor in the Crocker school community,
said she was inspired to bring the vocal
recording program to the school through the
experience of a child of a family friend who
uses an electronic device to communicate.
She said the standard digitized voice is that

of an adult male, referred to as some by the

Stephen Hawking voice, which does not
accurately reflect all people who use the technology.
These are children, but they sound like
adults, she said. We would expect a prosthetic leg to be customized to a persons
body, but we dont do that with voices.
Offering a unique, customized voice to a
child who cannot speak without assistance
grants the recipient a sense of empowerment
and greater self-worth, said Miranda.
Inspired by the opportunity to help those
in need, Miranda said she suggested the program to educators at Crocker school who
jumped at the opportunity to get students
engaged in the process of contributing to the
bank of voice recordings.
The parents were really supportive and so
were their children, she said.
Roughly 25 students participated in recording vocal samples this summer, said
Miranda, and the program was so popular it is
expected to return again this fall.
This is a great opportunity for the kids to
get community service hours in a way that is
hopefully meaningful to them, she said.
VocalID Communications and Project
Manager Adam Nilsson said the company is
thrilled with the amount of recordings they
received since incorporating in 2014.
There are so many amazing responses,
he said. It takes some commitment, but if
you are motivated and want to help someone,
it is a worthy cause.
He approximated 10,000 people had
donated vocal recordings, each comprised of
nearly 3,500 sentences which donors are
required to read to construct a complete sub-

mission. Each submission takes between six

to seven hours to complete, said Nilsson,
and donors are asked to do the recordings in
small, manageable segments so as to be able
to communicate clearly and strongly and create a high-quality recording.
The means necessary to create a recording
are relatively simple, said Nilsson, requiring
only a computer, headset, quiet room to
record in and a desire to help those in need.
He said the company is interested in
receiving as many vocal submissions as possible, from a variety of people with different
demographics, to create a comprehensive
and thorough voice bank.
We dont want all our voices to come from
one place, he said.
Miranda said she was thrilled to see how
the voice recording project resonated with
local students.
It was just very heartwarming, she said.
Students are familiar with a variety of community service efforts, said Miranda, but the
vocal project was something they could do
which offered a great benefit in relatively
short order.
We have kids who grow their hair out for
cancer survivors, she said. But this is an
opportunity for kids to do something more
active, to really help people more quickly.
Miranda, who has seen the benefits of the
creation of a unique voice firsthand, said she
believes the donation will go on to help
many families and children in need.
The kids who are participating are really
helping kids in San Mateo County, she said.
This will be a library accessed by a wide
variety of people.

Colorado asks voters to
reshuffle spending of new pot taxes

Beverly Hills, with its huge mansions, including many fronted by sprawling, emerald-green lawns, has drawn the ire of Los Angeles
residents who have complained of excessive water use by their wealthy neighborhood.

State fines water suppliers

for failing to meet reductions
By Kristen J. Bender
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO State officials

for the first time are fining California
water suppliers for failing to meet a
mandated 25 percent reduction in water
use in the battle against a widespread
drought.
The $61, 000 fines are being
imposed on Beverly Hills, Indio,
Redlands and the Coachella Valley
Water District.
Beverly Hills officials said in a
statement they may impose additional
fines and hire extra staff to meet its
savings goals. Officials with the
Coachella Valley Water District said
they, too, will develop new ways to

encourage greater water savings.

Redlands spokesman Carl Baker said
the city learned of the fine late
Thursday and said officials will seek
direction on how to respond from the
City Council on Tuesday. He declined
to elaborate.
Indio said it has been working hard
to meet state water conservation
goals, including adopting a drought
penalty surcharge and offering rebates
for water customers who get rid of their
grass.
The Indio Water Authority said the
utility will explore additional programs.
We are committed to conserve,
General Manager Brian Macy said in a
statement.

For a fourth straight month,

Californians as a whole have cut back
water consumption by more than 25
percent since Gov. Jerry Brown put
that mandate into effect last June.
Millions of Californians have
saved water during the summer
months, which are the four most critical months to save water, said State
Water Resources Control Board
Chairwoman Felicia Marcus.
This is important and wonderful,
and we are thankful for all of the effort
by individuals and agencies. Now, we
need to keep it up as best we can, even
as we hope for as much rain and snow
as we can safely handle.
In September, Californians reduced
water use by more than 26 percent.

DENVER The only statewide ballot question in

Colorado next week seems like a no-brainer: Should the
state keep $66 million in marijuana taxes it has already collected to spend on schools and drug-abuse prevention?
The measure arose from an accounting error two years
ago, when the taxes were first approved. And it has broad
support, from Democrats, Republicans, the marijuana
industry and nearly every newspaper in the state.
But the fine print of Proposition BB goes beyond allowing the government to keep the money it already collected.
It rearranges the spending plan to give money to some new
recipients, including the 4-H Club and Future Farmers of
America youth groups that never sought the handout and
arent keen on being associated with pot.
Lawmakers insist the marijuana money will be spent as
voters generally intended when they approved a 10 percent
sales tax and 15 percent excise tax on recreational pot in
2013. For example, the measure sends $40 million to a
school construction fund.

DAs, police, family of slain

push for death penalty changes
LOS ANGELES California prosecutors, police officers
and family members of the slain launched a campaign
Friday to speed up executions for murderers sentenced to
death.
Sacramento district attorney Anne Marie Schubert said
the effort follows through on a promise that law enforcement made when fighting a 2012 ballot initiative that
aimed to abolish the death penalty. Rather than get rid of
the ultimate punishment, they vowed to fix it.
Schubert said the penalty is reserved for the worst of the
worst: mass killers, serial killers, cop killers and those
who rape and murder children.
The proposed initiative would change the lengthy
appeals process by expanding the pool of appellate attorneys and appointing lawyers to the cases at time of sentencing. Currently theres about a five year wait to be
assigned a lawyer.

Rising Rubio seeks to

separate from GOPs
presidential hopefuls
By Steve Peoples
and Julie Bykowicz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Marco Rubios

lean presidential campaign is
putting on weight.
By every measure, the Florida
senators bid for the Republican
nomination has grown more
robust in October, boosted again
by a strong showing in
Wednesday nights debate. In preference polls and money flowing
in, hes ticking upward.
The campaigns fundraising,
which lagged that of several competitors over the summer and early
fall, just finished its best month
yet. In the hours around the debate
Rubio raised $750,000 online
more than on any previous occasion.
The next day, Rubio was cheered
at two fundraisers in Chicago,

each of which had more attendees

than organizers had planned. At a
young professionals happy
hour at a downtown sports bar, the
44-year-old Rubio told a rowdy
group that he woke up that morning still kind of wired from the
debate.
Its becoming easier to get
people to say yes, said Chris
Grozev, who said he sold a couple
hundred $100 tickets to the happy
hour.
Phil Rosen, a New York real
estate lawyer who hosted one of
the most lucrative fundraisers for
the campaign a few weeks ago,
said hes since had people come
out of the woodwork and call me
directly, asking for another event
so that they can meet him.

Singer on Friday announced his
support for Rubio in a letter to his

fundraisers, encouraging them to
follow his lead.
Donor enthusiasm has given
campaign leaders who have prided
themselves on a slim and sleek
operation partly out of necessity because of low cash flow the
confidence to increase hiring.
Rubios staff grew by about onethird in October, making for
crowded conditions in the
Washington row house that serves
as headquarters. Rubio is steadily
adding resources in each of the

first four voting states, and the

campaign just signed an office
lease in South Carolina, the third
state voting in the primaries early
next year. Volunteers there had
been working out of a garage.

manager. But were scaling at the

freshman senator.
In Wednesdays debate, mentorturned-rival Jeb Bush went after
him for missing Senate votes
while he campaigned for president.
The former Florida governor
came to the debate after briefing
his top fundraisers on a strategy
that hinges on overpowering
Rubio, whom his campaign sees
as his most dangerous competitor
for the voters and donors who
want to see a traditional nominee.

Romes mayor forced out

Obama welcomes budget, debt

deal to keep government open
By Andrew Taylor
and Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack

Obama said hes eager to sign the twoyear budget deal passed by the Senate
in the pre-dawn hours Friday in hopes
of breaking a cycle of shutdowns and
manufactured crises that have hurt the
U.S. economy.
Senators voted 64-35 for the measure that will spare the nation the
specter of a catastrophic default and a
partial
government
shutdown.
Democrats teamed with Republican
defense hawks to overcome opposition from conservatives who included
two GOP senators running for president Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted
Cruz of Texas.
Obama had negotiated the accord,
passed by the House earlier this week,

with congressional
leaders who were
intent on avoiding
the brinkmanship
and
shutdown
threats that have
haunted the institution for the past
several
years.
Departing
Rep.
Paul Ryan
John Boehner of
Ohio made it his top priority in his
final days as speaker before making
way for Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who
took over the leadership Thursday.
The White House said Obama would
sign the bill on Monday.
In a statement issued early Friday,
Obama said the deal shows Congress
can help, not hinder the nations
progress. He urged lawmakers to work
on other needed spending measures in
the future without getting sidetracked

by ideological provisions that have

no place in Americas budget process.
The deal allows members of both
parties to look ahead toward next
years presidential and congressional
elections. Republican leaders were particularly concerned that failure to
resolve this vexing issue could reflect
poorly on their ability to govern.
There was significant opposition in
the Senate, nevertheless, as Paul and
Cruz made it a point to be on the floor
to register their concerns.
In an hour-long speech that delayed
the final vote to around 3 a.m., Paul
said Congress is bad with money. He
railed against increases in defense dollars supported by Republicans and
domestic programs supported by
Democrats.
These are the two parties getting
together in an unholy alliance and
spending us into oblivion, he said.

MILAN Just a day after rescinding his resignation,

Romes embattled mayor was forced out of office Friday
after the city council yanked its support.
Ignazio Marino acknowledged the end
of his turbulent administration in a news
conference Friday evening, complaining
of backroom politics that hurt transparency after a quorum of 26 council
members resigned.
Marino, a transplant surgeon elected in
2013, announced Oct. 12 he was stepping down following reports that he used
Ignazio Marino public funds for private dinners. He
always denied wrongdoing, and rescinded
the resignation Thursday without explanation, and after
getting public shows of support from citizens.
Earlier Friday, he acknowledged that prosecutors were
investigating him for the misuse of public funds, but played
it down as a pro forma action. Marino was never implicated
in the wide-ranging corruption probes of public works contracts involving projects that started before his election.
The political gamesmanship even drew the critical notice
of the Roma Catholic Church Rome prepares to host millions of pilgrims for the Holy Year that begins Dec. 8 and
runs through late November 2016.

Iranian-American reportedly
etained in Iran; fourth in custody
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates An Iranian-American
businessman who advocated better ties between Iran and the
U.S. reportedly has been arrested and imprisoned in Tehran,
becoming the fourth U.S. citizen known to be held there at
a time when hard-liners are pushing back against the countrys nuclear deal with world powers.
The reasons why Siamak Namazi would be detained were
not immediately known.
Namazi, the son of a politician from the era of the shah,
had been specifically criticized in hard-line commentary
this year as Iranian conservatives warned against easing
hostilities with the U.S.
On Friday, Iran and the U.S. sat down together in new multilateral talks trying to end Syrias civil war.
Reports of Namazis imprisonment follow the conviction
of other Iranian-Americans, notably Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian. Meanwhile, an Internet freedom
group said a Washington-based Lebanese citizen recently
disappeared while on a trip to Tehran.
Namazi was arrested earlier this month while visiting
Tehran, according to the Wall Street Journal, The New York
Times and The Washington Post, all of which relied on
anonymous sources. Attempts by the Associated Press to
reach relatives of Namazi, who has a home in Washington,
werent immediately successful.

Nations agree on new Syria talks,

but say little about Bashar Assad

U.S. escalates fight in Syria

amid talks on Assad future
By Bradley Klapper and Lolita C. Baldor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The United States escalated its fight

against the Islamic State in Syria on Friday, pledging the
first open deployment of military boots on the ground, even
as U.S., Russian and other diplomats pressed a new peace
effort that America hopes will hasten the departure of Bashar
Assad.
Up to 50 special operations troops will be sent to assist
Kurdish and Arab forces in northern Syria, American officials
said. The move marks a significant departure for President
Barack Obama, who for years has resisted putting ground
forces in Syria even as he has gradually intensified the U.S.
military response to what counterterrorism officials worry is
a growing Islamic State threat in Syria and Iraq.
The troop announcement came as diplomats in Vienna representing 17 countries and the European Union agreed to
launch a broad new peace attempt to gradually end Syrias
long civil war a declaration that avoided any determination on when President Assad might leave. It is not clear how
many rebel groups would agree to a plan that doesnt result in
Assads immediate departure.
Any cease-fire agreement that may come as a result of the
peace effort would not include the Islamic State, which controls large parts of northern Syria and has its capital there.
But the participation by Russia and Iran in the attempt
could mark a new and promising phase in the diplomacy
since those countries have staunchly backed Assad.
The White House has long said that Assads ouster is essential to its ultimate goal of defeating the Islamic State because
the Syrian presidents brutal tactics against Sunni rebels
have drawn Sunni radicals from all over the world into the
militant groups ranks.
The Syrian civil war has killed more than 250,000 people
and uprooted more than 11 million, sparking a refugee crisis
throughout Europe.
Despite killing as many as 12,000 militants, the U.S.
bombing campaign has not significantly weakened the
Islamic States capacity to hold territory, and the groups
ranks have been replenished by foreign fighters and others.
Military experts say ground troops are essential for the
fight. A U.S. program to train Syrians was abandoned as a
failure, and the new deployment essentially would replace
that program.
Speaking to reporters flying with him on an overseas trip,
Defense Secretary Ash Carter said this would probably not be
the last significant adjustment to the anti-IS military campaign in Syria and Iraq.

VIENNA The United States,

Russia, Iran and more than a dozen
other nations agreed Friday to launch a
new peace effort involving Syrias
government and opposition groups,
but carefully avoided any determination on when President Bashar Assad
might leave power perhaps the
most intractable dispute of the conflict.
There was no guarantee that either
Assad or the vast array of rebel groups
fighting against him would join the
push for peace.
The plan was hashed out after two
days of discussions in Austrias capital among some of the fiercest

geopolitical foes
on the planet,
including governments
fighting
directly or by
proxy on opposing sides in a civil
war that has killed
more than 250,000
Bashar Assad people, uprooted
11 million from
their homes, led to the emergence of
the Islamic State and sparked a
refugee crisis throughout Europe
since beginning in 2011.
Although details were vague, the
approach has clear differences with
previous such efforts. Chief among
them: The U.S. and allies including
Saudi Arabia softened calls for Assads
quick removal from power. Russia and

Iran didnt rule out his eventual departure.

Four-and-a-half years of war, we all
believe, has been far too long, U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry told
reporters.
I did not say that Assad has to go or
that Assad has to stay, Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said
at the news conference with Kerry and
the U. N. special envoy to Syria,
Staffan de Mistura.
The new diplomatic push coincided
with a U.S. announcement that a small
number of American special operations forces will be sent to northern
Syria to work with local ground forces
in the fight against Islamic State militants. It would mark the first time
American troops would be deployed
openly on the ground in the country.

Letters to the editor

Eirene Chen for
San Carlos Elementary
School District trustee
Editor,
I am endorsing Eirene Chen for
San Carlos School District
Trustee. Of all the candidates she
has the most direct knowledge of,
and lengthy experience in, the
district. Her years as PTA president and member of PTA
Coordinating Council gives her a
broad district perspective, along
with her site level (middle and
elementary school) volunteer
activities. Coupled with her educational and work background
she is well positioned to lead the
district forward. I believe the
Daily Journal to be remiss in not
recognizing her potential.

Vote for Freschet

Editor,
San Mateo is fortunate to have
a responsive mayor with the
experience, education and knowhow of Maureen Freschet. If
theres any hope of solving our
regional problems, including
trafc and housing, it will be
because we are represented by
qualied people like Maureen
who are respected and supported
by our community leaders and
county and state legislators. Lets
keep our best shot at dealing with
the issues facing our city and our
neighborhoods.

Yes on Measure W
Editor,
Measure W in South San
Francisco will support public
safety, street infrastructure and
quality of life services for families, senior and the disabled for
years to come. Like home mortgages,30 years is the right
amount of time to plan for the
future and plan/replace essential
public buildings that are neither
seismically safe nor able to handle the data and needs of the 21st
century. Please join me in voting
yes onMeasure W for upgraded,
police, re and community serv-

ices that will serve our community for generations to come.

Vote no on Measure V
Editor,
After reading Measure V, I had
to laugh, especially at the way
Councilman Mark Olbert is promoting it.Nowhere has it been
established what the nal cost of
everything involved in that piece
of property will be.I have personally walked that entire property while working for the city of
San Carlos, andIknowwhat
would have to be done to make
that property a viable park for
this city, but I have yet to hear
how the city plans to come up
with the money to clear the area,
implementinfrastructure and
maintain the park. Do I have to
remind the citizens of this city
that not too many years ago the
city dissolved the parks department and decided to contract the
maintenance to a private contractor?
Now, they want to add more
taxes to support this project.
When are they planning on
exposing all the hidden costs of
implementing this park? I would
like to see Mr. Olbert disclose all
of these issues, before asking for
us to sign a blank check. I am
urging my fellow citizens to vote
no on Measure V.

Dont x-out Measure X

Editor,
We strongly disagree with Mr.

The overcrowding in our

does Mr. Milano propose this
problem be addressed?
Our classrooms are currently
jam-packed and require serious
improvements to dated structures.
We are fortunate enough to live
in an area which is very much in
demand by young families thus
the increase in our elementary
school population (and our property values). The turnover in
established residences, the major
contributor to this student explosion, will bring 1,000 students
in the next ve years. We must

Caring for our children

time to be an X-Man
Editor,
There is little more important
duty in life than caring for and
educating our children. While no
one likes to pay more taxes, the
fact remains that our state does
not provide sufcient funds to
educate our children in reasonable
facilities and with reasonable and
modern equipment, so that job,
my friends, is left to us.
Our school district is one of the
best in the state. Great schools
are no small part of what makes
Foster City and San Mateo great
places to live and, I believe, keep
property values high.
Measure X is a compromise put
together by representatives from
both cities after months of discussion and public outreach. Our
families and our children deserve
nothing less than the best education we can give them. The desperately needed new and refurbished facilities funded by
Measure X will allow just that.
I have been working on this
issue with ofcials at the school
district for many years now and
am convinced the solutions
reached with great community
input are the best solutions for
San Mateo and Foster City. I also
pledge that I will continue to
work with the school district to
ensure the funds are spent in a
way that will signicantly
address both todays and our
futures school capacity problems.
Please vote yes on Measure X
in November. It is your chance to
help make a difference in our
future. Be an X-Man (or XWoman) for your community.

I am voting yes on Measure X.

Our San Mateo and Foster City
schools areoverowing with students. At my childrens school
(Foster City Elementary), there
are six kindergarten classes this
year plus two transitional kindergarten classes, and theyre all
full. Thats almost 200 5-yearolds sharing the small primary
playground at once. I was at the
school recently and the fthgraders were having PE and using
the blacktop at the same time
that 400 rst- through thirdgraders were having recess. That
is a lot of chaos on the playground. Unfortunately, there
arent enough hours in the school
day to accommodate three recess
periods, three lunch periods, and
separate PE times for each grade.
We have to have three assembly
periods for all 900 students to be
able to enjoy an assembly in our
MPR. In ve years, we will need
classrooms for anadditional
1,000 students in our district.
Where will they t? Our schools
are already over capacity.

and a rocky September.
Paul Christopher, global market
strategist for Wells Fargo, said
investors are now gaining confidence
in the U.S. economy and are more
hopeful that China wont suffer an
abrupt downturn.
We could see investors finally put
that correction in August and those
fears permanently behind them, he
said.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
has risen for five consecutive weeks
and it ended October up 8.3 percent,
its best month since October 2011.

The indexs increase of 159 points

was the biggest in its 77-year history. The next-best month was March
2000, the height of the dot-com bubble, when it rose 132 points.
Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist
at S&P Capital IQ, said a very strong
October usually means the market
wont make big gains in November
and December, muting the so-called
Santa Claus rally. He does expect
stocks to keep rising for the rest of
this year, though, and make gains in
2016, lifted by overall economic
growth and improving corporate
earnings.
He said 2016 has a chance of
being a good year but not a great
year for equities. Investors will
continue to buy the dips until the
prospect of either a U.S. or global
recession spooks investors again.
On Friday, stocks were largely flat
through much of the day, venturing
into positive territory in the early
afternoon before ending lower. The
S&P 500 lost 10.05 points, or 0.5
percent, to 2,079.36. The Dow Jones
industrial average dipped 92. 26

Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Valley

icon, is ready for its break-up
By Brandon Bailey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO One of the nations

most storied tech companies will split in
two this weekend, another casualty of seismic shifts in the way people use technology
and big-company sluggishness in
responding.
Hewlett-Packard was an early pioneer of
what became the model for Silicon Valley
startups: Founded in 1939 by two Stanford
graduates in a Palo Alto garage, HP was long
celebrated for its engineering know-how
and laid-back corporate culture. It made
hefty profits as it grew into a multinational
giant that sold a wide range of computer gear
and commercial tech services.

But after struggling to keep pace with

recent trends like the rise of smartphones
and cloud computing. HPs board decided
last year to create two smaller companies,
each with a narrower focus.
HP Inc. will sell personal computers and
printers; Hewlett Packard Enterprise will
sell commercial computer systems, software and tech services. Starting Monday,
each will trade separately on the New York
Stock Exchange.
The old HP missed the emergence of the
Web, said tech analyst Peter Burris at
Forrester Research. They missed the emergence of mobile.
HPs current chief executive, who pushed
for the split, says the new spinoffs will be
more nimble. CEO Meg Whitman will run
HP Enterprise, while PC industry veteran

Dion Weisler will lead HP Inc. Each will be

independent, with flexibility to respond to
a constantly evolving market, Whitman
told an investor conference last month.
With less to focus on, she added, each
company will do core things better.
By dividing HP into roughly equal halves,
analysts estimate, each spinoff should produce more than $50 billion in sales next
year. But skeptics say neither will have the
clout of the old HP, which became a leading
consumer brand while using its vast size to
negotiate volume discounts with suppliers
and big contracts with business customers.
They wont have the impact that HP once
had, now that they dont have the depth of
portfolio they once had, predicted Rob
Enderle, a longtime industry analyst. Its
not clear what HP is anymore.

Chevron cutting up to 7,000 jobs as oil profits shrink

By David Koenig
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS Chevron is cutting up to

7,000 jobs, or 11 percent of its workforce,
the latest indication of the toll that low oil
prices are taking on the industry.
The two biggest U. S. oil companies
reported huge profits for the third quarter.
Chevron Corp. said Friday that it earned $2
billion, and Exxon Mobil Corp. earned
more than $4.2 billion.
But those profits are down sharply from a

year ago. Chevrons profit was 64 percent

lower than last years third quarter; Exxons
profit fell 47 percent, its worst third quarter
since 2003. Both companies are slashing
costs to boost profits. Chevron plans to cut
capital and exploratory spending next year
by one-fourth, with further cuts in 2017 and
2018 depending on the oil industrys condition then.
That will include cutting the workforce by
6,000 to 7,000 jobs and shedding a similar
number of contract workers, said Chairman
and CEO John Watson. Many of the layoffs

will be in Australia, he said, and an unspecified number will be in the U.S. Chevron has
64,700 employees.
Exxon doesnt announce job cuts, and a
spokesman declined to say whether the
company had reduced its headcount in
response to low oil prices. Vice president of
investor relations Jeffrey Woodbury told
analysts that Exxon has continuously ...
right-sized our global function organization and has the same number of employees today that it had in 1999, before its
merger with Mobil.

EPA may ban common pesticide used on fruit and vegetables

By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A common pesticide

used on citrus fruit, almonds and other crops
would be banned under a proposal
announced Friday by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
The proposal would prohibit use of chlor-

pyrifos, a widely used insecticide that is

sprayed on a variety of crops including
oranges, apples, cherries, grapes, broccoli
and asparagus.
The pesticide, in use since 1965, has
sickened dozens of farmworkers in recent
years. Traces have been found in waterways, threatening fish, and regulators
say overuse could make targeted insects

immune to the pesticide.

U. S. farms use more than 6 million
pounds of the chemical each year about
25 percent of it in California.
The EPA said it will take public comments
on the proposal for at least two months,
with a final rule expected in December
2016. The rule would not take effect until
2017 at the earliest.

September, partly because consumers

were spending less on gasoline as
energy prices fell. The gain was the
smallest in eight months. The department said Thursday that economic
growth slowed sharply in the summer, although most economists
think the economy has improved this
month.
Wells Fargos Christopher said the
November and December U.S. unemployment reports will help set the
course of the markets for the rest of
this year, along with the Federal
Reserves interest rate policies.
The busiest week of third-quarter
earnings wrapped up Friday with big
moves for a slew of companies. The
professional networking service
LinkedIn surpassed analyst estimates
and its stock gained $23.87, or 11
percent, to $240. 87. Drugmaker
AbbVie surged as sales of its antiinflammatory Humira, the biggestselling drug in the world, continued
to rise. AbbVie rose $5.45, or 10.1
percent, to $59.55.
Chevron, the second-largest U.S.
oil company, said its profit fell
almost two-thirds. The company said
it will eliminate around 10 percent of
its jobs, or up to 7,000 positions,
and will also slash capital and exploration spending as it deals with lower
oil prices that are cutting deeply into
profit.

Business briefs
Valeant cutting ties with Philidor
NEW YORK Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a
company that has come under intense
scrutiny for its drug prices, has cut ties with
Philidor following accusations that it was a
phantom pharmacy used solely to artificially boost sales.
Valeant said Friday that the mail-order
pharmacy has informed the company that it
will shut down as soon as possible.
The imminent end of Philidor comes just
hours after the nations two largest pharmacy benefit providers, CVS Health and
Express Scripts, said that they had ended all
interactions with the company citing its
business practices. UnitedHealth Group
conducted an audit of Philidor in late 2014
and began cutting ties with the company
in the interests of our customers.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International
Inc. is under fire for its practice of buying
smaller drug developers and then hiking
prices on the medicines developed by that
company. At the same time, the companys
profits have skyrocketed as it slashed
spending on research into new drugs.
Valeant had become a Wall Street favorite
and its shares hit an all-time high as recently as August, but it has been hammered
relentlessly since coming under a national
spotlight.

Couple sues Six Flags, says

animals kept in bad conditions
SAN JOSE Two former employees have
sued Northern Californias Six Flags
Discovery Kingdom, saying they were fired
in retaliation for raising animal welfare
concerns.
KNTV-TV in San Jose reports that
Michael and Holley Muracos wrongful termination lawsuit against the Vallejo park
says Michael Muraco told the U. S.
Department of Agriculture about poor water
quality in the dolphin pools.
A USDA inspection report from 2014
supported Muracos fear that the poor water
quality was related to the deaths of two
infant dolphins and chronic health problems in adult dolphins.
Six Flags did not return calls seeking
comment. The park told a court publication
conditions are safe for animals and that the
lawsuit has no merit.

Knights run table for WBAL girls tennis crown

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Menlo girls tennis team has made

quite a racket since Bill Shine took over as
head coach in 1995.
Now in his 20th year at the helm, Shine
celebrated his anniversary in style as the
Knights won outright the West Bay Athletic
League Foothill Division title Thursday.
With a 5-2 win over Harker at the Santa Clara
Tennis Center, Menlo (10-0 in WBAL, 19-1
overall) completed an undefeated run through
WBAL play, making Shine 20 for 20 in winning league titles throughout his tenure.

Menlo has played in

three different leagues during that span. When
Shine took over 20 years
ago, the Knights were in
the now defunct Girls
Private School League. In
2002, they moved to the
Peninsula
Athletic
League, where they won
Schuyler
six straight league titles.
Tilney-Volk
Since moving to the
WBAL Foothill Division in 2008, the team
has run the table with seven straight league
championships.

Its just a number,

Shine said. It means Ive
been around awhile.
Not that Thursdays win
over second-place Harker
(8-2 in WBAL Foothill)
was a cakewalk. The
Knights entered already
one player short, with
Kathryn Wilson No. 2 doubles player
Vivian
Liu
having
sprained an ankle earlier this season. Then,
to go with Menlos restructured doubles lineup, Shine found out Thursday that No. 2 single Alice Yao couldnt play due to illness.

Menlos doubles held down the fort

though. The doubles were the teams strength
last year, when the Knights advanced to a
Northern California championship. They
continued the trend Thursday sweeping all
three matches. No. 1 doubles Mia
McConnell and Melissa Tran won 6-2, 6-3;
No. 2 doubles Schuyler Tilney-Volk and
Kathryn Wilson won 6-2, 6-3; and No. 3 doubles Hao and Gornick won 6-2, 4-6, 6-2.
With Liu injured, Wilson moved up to pair
with Tilney-Volk. The two have won all four
of their matches since pairing up Oct. 13

Hillsdale running back Cameron Taylor fights his way to the end zone in the Knights thrilling 37-34 win Friday night at Half Moon Bay.

Fighting for first

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

It was last year when the Hillsdale Knights

started sporting the Fighting Knights
across their football jerseys. Friday night,
they earned that title.
Despite falling behind by two touchdowns
at the start of the fourth quarter at raucous Half
Moon Bay, the Fighting Knights stormed
back to win the battle for first place in the
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division
with a 37-34 victory over the Cougars.
Amid a 34-34 tie, Hillsdale place kicker
Josh Janakes drilled a 35-yard field goal with

one second remaining in regulation to win it.

With the victory, the Fighting Knights (4-0
in PAL Ocean, 7-1 overall) remain unbeaten
in league play and take over sole possession
of the PAL Ocean Division.
Thats who we are, Hillsdale head coach
Mike Parodi said of the teams moniker.
Thats who we need to be.
The game seemed destined to go down to
the wire after Hillsdale took a slight 13-12
lead into halftime. But Hillsdale quarterback
Brett Wetteland was grace under fire down the
stretch. The senior was 18-of-28 passing for
315 yards and three touchdown strikes, all to
junior wide receiver Isaiah Cozzolino.

Half Moon Bay quarterback Gavin

Tomberlin put on a passing clinic of his own.
The left-handed sophomore threw for 207
yards and five TDs, all to senior wide receiver
Pablo Gutierrez. In fact, Tomberlin had four
straight completions spanning from the second quarter to the fourth, all for touchdown
strikes to Gutierrez of 18, 10, 50 and 26 yards.
Tomberlins 26-yard strike on a timing
pattern up the sideline gave Half Moon Bay
a 34-20 lead with 10:26 remaining in the
game. But the savvy Wetteland answered the
call, leading three straight scoring drives,

but added seven rebounds and five assists.
Hes not comfortable, but then, who is?
Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. I mean, I
dont see anybody who looks comfortable

Dwight Howard had nine points and seven
rebounds for Houston in his first game after
serving a one-game suspension for getting a
fourth flagrant foul in the postseason.
Emotions ran high in a game that felt more
like a playoff game than the second one of
the season. The frustrated Rockets were called
for two technical fouls, while the calm and
collected Warriors cruised to their second
straight victory under interim coach Luke
Walton, who is filling in for Steve Kerr as he
recovers from back surgery.

there, said Syndergaard, who alluded
Thursday to having a few tricks up his
sleeve for the leadoff man.
My intent on that pitch was to make them
uncomfortable, and I feel like I did just that. I
know that for the past, I think every postseason game that Escobar has played in, hes
swung at the first-pitch fastball, and I didnt

think he would want to swing at that one.

Escobar, having a huge postseason,
acknowledged he was caught off guard.
I didnt like it one bit. He was saying yesterday that he had a plan against my aggressiveness. If thats the plan, I think thats a

Hudson paying dividends for Raiders Patriots taking out

Deflategate wrath
on rest of the NFL

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders general

manager Reggie McKenzie has taken his
fair share of criticism for some of the free
agent moves hes made over the past few
years.
One signing that no one disputes was the
$44.5 million, five-year contract given to
center Rodney Hudson in March.
The deal made the 26-year-old Hudson the
highest-paid player on the Raiders roster.
With an average salary of $8.9 million,
Hudson is the second highest-paid center in
the NFL behind Miamis Mike Pouncey,
who earns $8.95 million annually.
Hudson has certainly proven to be worth
the investment.
Through six games, he has allowed one
sack while dominating both as a pass
blocker and a run blocker. Hudson also made
the pivotal block on San Diego free safety
Jimmy Wilson that helped spring wide
receiver Amari Cooper for a 52-yard touchdown in last weeks win over the Chargers.
It was a play that made several national
highlight shows and one that still had
Hudsons teammates buzzing this week
when the team gathered to watch film.
Everybody was going crazy for him
because you just see someone that big running that fast, Raiders quarterback Derek
Carr said. Im happy I dont play defense.
Id rather be on this side of him than having
to try and take that block on.
A second-round pick by Kansas City in
2011, Hudson had already carved a reputation for being one of the most physical centers in the league when the Raiders reached
out to him this offseason after Hudson
became a free agent.
Hudson was at the top of Oaklands priority list and the two sides quickly reached an
agreement. Now the Raiders front office is
enjoying watching the payoff.

JAKE ROTH/USA TODAY SPORTS

Raiders center Rodney Hudson, left, signed a five-year, $44.5 million contract prior to the
season, making him the highest paid player on the roster.
Money aside, at the end of the day, do
you like the player? McKenzie said. We
like the player. The market dictates everything else. We just penciled him as a guy we
really liked and we wanted. Once we found
he was interested, we just went after it.
Hudson wasnt the only Oakland offensive lineman making a big block downfield
on Coopers touchdown. Left tackle Donald
Penn sealed off San Diego cornerback
Brandon Flowers five yards beyond where
Hudson leveled Wilson.
Donald made a great block on that play,
too, Hudson said Friday. It was a collective effort. A lot of people did good things.
It just comes with it. I got out in space, and
Amari made a great cut, too. He did a great
job of setting my block up.
The Raiders have definitely made significant strides offensively with Hudson at center. Theyre 18th overall and 23rd in rushing
offense after finishing last in both categories a year ago.
Hudson grades out as the best pass-blocking center in the NFL, according to

ProFootballFocus. com. Thats helped

Oakland make a smooth transition to the
new schemes of offensive coordinator Bill
Musgrave despite using three new starters
on the offensive line.
Its always important to take it one game
at a time and not lose sight on whats now
by looking in the past or the future,
Hudson said. Its the players and coaches
as a whole reminding each other and focusing on the game plan, the opponent and
what theyre trying to do.
No tes : Safety Charles Woodson (shoulder/knee) is probable. . DL Denico Autry
(concussion), defensive back TJ Carrie
(shoulder), DT Justin Ellis (ankle) and CB
Keith McGill (foot) are also probable. . LB
Neiron Ball (knee) is out. . Chase DeLisle, a
7-year-old boy from Canada, served as
coach for the day as part of a Make-A-Wish
Foundation wish. DeLisle attended practice

Rio had done the same.

ticked off. Theyre taking it out on

Instead of being the scandal that brought

New England (7-0) has been utterly dominant through the rst half of the season,
doling out its latest shellacking on the
Miami Dolphins, who never had a chance
in a 36-7 rout Thursday night.
Like all great champions, from Ali to
Bird to Jordan, the
Patriots feed off every
perceived slight or,
in this case, a major
scandal in which they
were charged with
intentionally deating
footballs used in last
seasons AFC championship game.
The NFL attempted
to drop the hammer on
the Patriots, doling
out a four-game suspension to quarterback
Tom Brady. He went to
court and beat the rap. Now, at age 38, hes
putting together a remarkable season (69
percent completions, 20 touchdowns, just
one interception, on pace to throw for
more than 5,500 yards, which would be an
NFL record) and boasting that he wouldnt
mind playing for another decade.
Seriously, Tom, quit rubbing it in.
Arent four Super Bowl rings enough

Nope.
Nothings ever enough for the Patriots,

belief that hes always looking for ways to
skirt the rules.

Cal looks to beat USC No. 8 Stanford vs. Washington St.

for 1st time since 03 might be surprisingly significant
By Josh Dubow

By Nicholas K. Geranios

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERKELEY The fortunes for Southern California and

California have undergone quite the change the past two
weeks.
Back-to-back losses by the Golden Bears (5-2, 2-2 Pac-12)
have erased the good feeling from a 5-0 start and have raised
questions about whether Cal is in for
another late-season flop.
USC (4-3, 2-2) rebounded from the firing of coach Steve Sarkisian and three
losses in a four-game span to hand Utah
its first loss last week in a performance
that validated the preseason hype around
the Trojans.
If a topsy-turvy season in the Pac-12
has
proved anything so far, its that perJared Goff
ceptions can change quickly. The Trojans
will look to avoid that roller-coaster when they visit the
Bears on Saturday.
USC has dominating this in-state rivalry with Cal for more
than a decade. The Trojans have won 11 straight meetings
against the Bears since a triple-overtime loss in 2003.
Most of those havent even been close with the average
margin of victory being nearly 19 points. Last years 38-30
USC win was the closest since 2007 but only got that way
when Cal scored two late touchdowns long after the game had
been decided.
This marks the second straight season that Cal got off to a
fast start against the easy part of its schedule only to fall flat
when the games got tougher in the conference season. The
Bears started 4-1 a year ago, only to lose six of their final
seven games to fall one win shy of a bowl bid.
When you play against good teams, your level of execution has to go up, coach Sonny Dykes said. We probably
havent raised our level of execution as much as we need to.

This didnt have the look of a particularly significant game

a few weeks ago.
Three straight wins by Washington State have left Saturday
nights game against No. 8 Stanford as arguably the Cougars
biggest home game in more than a decade.
Stanford (6-1, 5-0 Pac-12) is the only undefeated team in
league play, but its Washington State (5-2, 3-1) thats right
on the heels of the Cardinal. Not Oregon. Not California. Its
Washington State that could take control of its destiny in the
Pac-12 North race should it manage to knock off the Cardinal.
The last time Washington State was in contention for the
conference lead this late in the season was 2003. Aside from
rivalry games against Washington, it could be considered the
Cougars most significant home game since 2002 when
Washington State went to the Rose Bowl.
The last time the Cougars beat a Top 10 team was No. 5
Texas in the 2003 Holiday Bowl.
Stanford coach David Shaw said he has been impressed by
how Washington State rebounded from a season-opening loss
to FCS Portland State to win five of six games.
These guys have bounced back from that and become a real,
real good football team, Shaw said. Offensively, their quarterback is playing at a high level. Hes got weapons around
him. They are protecting him better.
Washington State quarterback Luke Falk has thrown for
2,885 yards, with 26 touchdowns and four interceptions this
season. The Cougars have scored more than 40 points in each
of their past three games, including last weeks 45-42 win at
Arizona.
Coach Mike Leach said Falk, a sophomore, is ahead of other
quarterbacks he has coached at this stage.
Hes a very composed guy, Leach said. Hes very focused,
very coachable. ... He has a clear mind.
He also has a slew of targets. Seven different receivers have
at least 20 receptions for the Cougars this season in the passhappy Air Raid offense. They are led by Gabe Marks, who
leads the Pac-12 with 57 catches, good for 717 yards and 10
touchdowns. Marks caught a school-record four touchdown
passes last weekend against Arizona.
Week after week, he makes big play after big play, Shaw
said.

Top flight QBs

With Cals Jared Goff and USC senior Cody Kessler, this
game features two of the top passers in the country. Kessler is
completing more than 69 percent of his passes with 18 TDs
and five interceptions. Goff has completed 65.5 percent of
his passes with 20 TDs and nine interceptions but is coming
off his two worst games of the year, including a five-interception performance against Utah three weeks ago.
We have to be able to run the ball better, Dykes said. That
will take a little pressure off of him. We just have to execute
better as a group. Its not just Jared. Its really our offense.

Center of attention
The Trojans are on their third starting center after losing
Max Tuerk and Toa Lobendahn to season-ending injuries.
Khaliel Rodgers stepped in last week against Utah after
Lobendahn left in the first quarter and fared well. Now he gets
the start.
I was ready last week, and Im ready for this week,
Rodgers said. An opponent is an opponent. I dont look at
it as any different. You just have to wait until your time
comes, and now its time to go out there and perform.

Stanford has won six straight games since

an opening loss to Northwestern, scoring
more than 40 points in four of them. The
Cardinal have won seven straight over the
Cougars and may unleash even more of
Christian McCaffrey on a defense that
remains Washington States weakness.
McCaffrey is leading the nation with
259.7 all-purpose yards per game, more
than 40 yards per game over the next playChristian
er. McCaffrey needs just 57 yards rushing
McCaffrey
to reach 1,000 for the season.
McCaffrey is the first Stanford player since 1991 to post
100 yards receiving and rushing in the same game, which happened last week in a win over Washington.

Ground game
Washington State has discovered a ground attack this year
behind running backs Jamal Morrow, Gerard Wicks and

Pirates Andrew McCutchen

brings home Clemente Award
NEW YORK Andrew
McCutchen cut off his signature
dreadlocks during spring training
to benefit Pirates Charities.
McCutchen was honored Friday
with Major League Baseballs
Roberto Clemente Award, given
annually to a player for positive
contributions on and off the field,

MLB brief
including sportsmanship and community involvement.
McCutchen founded Cutchs
Crew in 2010 to assist inner-city
youth baseball players and at-risk
children in Pittsburgh. Among the
charities he supports are the MakeA-Wish Foundation, the Childrens
Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation,
the Homeless Childrens Education

Fund, the Light of Life Rescue

Mission and Habitat for Humanity.
Pittsburghs only previous winner was Willie Stargell in 1974.
A Hall of Famer for the Pirates
from 1955-72, Clemente died in a
plane crash on New Years Eve in
1972 while on a humanitarian mission to assist earthquake victims
in Nicaragua.
McCutchen, a 29-year-old outfielder, is a five-time All-Star and
the 2013 NL MVP.

GAME 3

innings shouting at Syndergaard from the dugout.
I think the whole team was pretty upset. The
first pitch of the game goes whizzing by our leadoff mans head, Mike Moustakas said. I think all
25 guys in that dugout were pretty fired up.
Shut down at the plate in Kansas City, the Mets
broke loose and chased Yordano Ventura early during the first Series game at Citi Field. Aided by
more unsteady fielding from a Royals team known
for tight defense, New York got 12 hits from nine
different players.
Pitching on Halloween eve, Syndergaard recovered from a scary start and went six innings, giving the Mets the winning performance they didnt
get from fellow studs Matt Harvey and Jacob
deGrom at Kauffman Stadium.
He delivered, manager Terry Collins said. He
came through exactly as we expected.
Another rookie, hometown kid Steven Matz,
tries to pull New York even Saturday night in
Game 4 when he faces 36-year-old Chris Young
and the Royals.
After the Mets fell behind in the first inning,
Granderson started the bottom half with a single
and Wright hit his first World Series home run,
recharging a packed crowd of 44,781.
The captain, who entered batting .182 without
an RBI in his first World Series, added a two-run
single on Kelvin Herreras first pitch during a
four-run sixth that broke it open.
Pinch-hitter Juan Uribe, just back from a chest
injury, had an RBI single in his first plate appearance since Sept. 25. Slumping slugger Yoenis
Cespedes added a sacrifice fly.
In a matchup between two of the hardest throwers in the game, Syndergaard turned up the heat on
a brisk night (52 degrees and windy) while Ventura
lost some steam.
Syndergaard struggled early against a Royals
lineup minus slugging designated hitter Kendrys
Morales and was only a couple of batters from
coming out of the game, Collins said.
But Syndergaard set down 12 in a row, five on
strikeouts, before loading the bases with two outs
in the sixth. He retired Alex Rios on his 104th and
final pitch.

Baseball blues in Venezuela as

economic chaos hits stadiums
By Hannah Dreier
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARACAS,
Venezuela

Venezuelas raucous, boozy and

affordable baseball games have
long provided respite from the
growing gloom in the economically struggling country.
Now, a more than quadrupling of
ticket prices is putting a damper on
the national pastime, with the season kicking off this month to
sometimes half-empty stadiums and
featuring players who say their per
diems dont go far enough to buy
lunch.
On a recent game night, hardcore
baseball lovers celebrating what
fans call Venezuelas national religion filled about a third of the sooty
stadium in central Caracas. The
plaza of vendors outside had the
ghost-town feel that has come to
mark so much of Venezuelan life as
the socialist country grapples with
the worlds highest inflation and a
severe shortage of imported goods.
Average attendance at the 25,000seat arena is down 25 percent for the
first month of the season.
Its not just the ticket price; its
the cost of everything you have to
buy your family during the game,
said Luis Rojas, director of Caracas
Estadio Universitario.
While most South Americans
prefer soccer, Venezuela is crazy
for baseball. Its exported more
players to Major League Baseball
than any country aside from the
Dominican Republic, including
several who are playing for the
Kansas City Royals in the World
Series this week. During the offseason, major and minor league
players often come to play in the
oil-producing nation.
The fact that thousands of
Venezuelans so far have been willing to pay the stadiums new ticket
prices of up to 2,000 bolivars a
fifth of the monthly minimum wage
is a testament to their love for
the game.
A beer vendor drew jeers as he
worked the stands after giving fans
the unhappy news that the price of a
300-milliliter (10-ounce) bottle had
jumped from 30 to 120 bolivars
since the season ended last year, and

the most popular brands had gone

missing altogether.
Last year my shoes cost 2,000
bolivars and this year they cost
18,000, he shouted back at outraged customers.
Even beer fans with money are
cutting back.
Radio DJ Daniel La Cruz has been
limiting himself to two bottles of
light beers per inning, instead of
ordering a case of 36 for himself and
his wife to share like usual.
I couldnt afford to buy a new
jersey this year either, he said.
Still, you cant just watch the
game on TV. Baseball is life for
Venezuelans.
Below him, a couple sat together
in an empty row, having decided to
save money by leaving their kids
at home for what used to be a family activity.
Outside, T-shirt vendor Alexander
Morales eyed the empty walkways.
He skirts Venezuelas rigid currency
controls by buying dollars on the
black market to import his merchandise. Like the beer vendor,
Morales took his share of abuse
from fans objecting to his price,
which are up 500 percent from last
year. Thats about the inflation seen
for other imported goods like specialty foods and electronics, but far
ahead of the rates seen in taxis and
street food stands.
I put my faith in God, but these
are apocalyptic times, he said.
Oscar Prieto Parraga, president of
the Venezuelan
Professional
Baseball League, believes people
are overestimating the drop in
attendance, and says he and other
officials are doing all they can to
maintain a sense of normalcy for
fans in the face of raging inflation.
For many years, the countrys
runaway inflation seemed to hardly
touch baseball. Last year, attendance was up 5 percent for major
stadiums around the country, and
ticket sales for the Caracas team
jumped about 3 percent.
Now, its not just the fans and
vendors who are being hit. Team
managers say they are struggling to
rent buses, pay for hotel rooms and
provide basics like cups and toilet
paper, which can sometimes only
be found on the black market.

against Pinewood.
It just turned out to be great,
Shine said. They complement
each other well.
Yaos absence forced sophomore
Elika Eshghi to move into the No.
4 singles spot, with Georgia
Anderson moving up to No. 3 and
Taylor Gould to No. 2. While
Anderson and Gould were each
defeated, Eshghi held on to win the

Kaitlin Hao and Lila Gornick in
three sets.
I just was so proud of [the team]
because we learned just before the

was going to have to move up.

Mounga was a blocking force to

season.
Now its clear that Ashley is
playing better right now than
Alice, Shine said.
Two factors caused Shine to flipflop Yao and Vielma though.
During the second half of the
WBAL schedule, Vielma moved up
to No. 1 against Crystal Springs
Uplands and Pinewood due to
injuries to Yao. Then, Tuesday
against Sacred Heart Prep, Shine
kept Vielma in the top spot with
Yao at No. 2 for the first time this
season. It was a tall order for
Vielma, having to contend with the
WBALs top singles player in SHP
sophomore No. 1 Sara Choy.
Vielma, a freshman, put up quite a
fight against Choy, extending the
second set in a 6-1, 7-5 loss. Still,
Vielma who won in comeback
fashion Thursday 3-6, 6-4, 6-2
has the best individual singles
record for Menlo at 14-3 overall.
She was really consistent and has
a little bit more power, Shine said.
With the WBAL individual playoff tournament starting Monday,
Shine said he expects Yao to return
to the court. He certainly would
like to see Yao at her best in two
open Hillsdales initial fourth quarter drive before Hulman reeled off
runs of 9, 2 and 5 yards.
Then Wetteland connected with
Cozzolino on a fly pattern over the
middle for a 26-yard touchdown;
and Janakes hammered the extra
point home to make it 34-27.
Half Moon Bay (3-1, 7-1) didnt
go quietly on the following possession, driving to the Hillsdale 23yard line and looking to put the
game away. But on second-and-9,
senior linebacker Siua Etu got into
the backfield to stuff a sweep play
for a 5-yard loss. Then back-toback incompletions turned the ball
over on downs, giving the Knights
possession at the own 28-yard line
with 3:27 remaining.

Japans Kohei Uchimura soars

to 6th world gymnastics title
By Will Graves

I expect us to be No. 1 seeded,

Shine said. But having said that,
if Alice is sick and with Vivian out,
its going to be a dogfight.

GLASGOW, Scotland Japans

Kohei Uchimura breezed to his record
sixth world gymnastics championship title Friday, putting together
a series of nearly flawless routines to
continue his long run of dominance.
Uchimura posted a total of
92.332, more than 1.6 points better
than Cuban teenager Manrique
Larduet and Deng Shudi of China.
The triumph came two days after
Uchimura helped Japan to its first
gold medal in the world championships in nearly 40 years.
The 26-year-old Uchimuras combination of elegance and athleticism makes him a heavy favorite to
repeat at the 2016 Olympics.
American Donnell Whittenburg finished eighth after being added to the
field when Belarus Dzmitry Barkalau
withdrew. American teammate Danell
Leyva struggled on pommel horse and
high bar, fading to 17th.

The usually

final score was unveiled. He made
the 6 sign with his fingers and
pointed to the crowd that included
his mother, who is still a competitive gymnast back home.
His biggest competition came from
the surprising Larduet. He appeared
right at home in his debut at a major
international event. His powerful
tumbling runs made the floor creak
underneath him and his aggressive
parallel bars display had a youthful
enthusiasm that will certainly make
him a factor in Rio next summer.

caught a 7-yard pass from

Wetteland to gain a first down. The
Knights next first down would be
much more dramatic, however.
Faced with a fourth-and-2 from the
Cougars 49, Wetteland shuffled
right and used an option pitch to
Taylor for a 10-yard gain. Two
plays later, Cozzolino sprinted up
the right sideline to catch a perfect
spiral from Wettleland in stride.
With 1:23 remaining, Hillsdale
initially lined up to attempt a twopoint conversion. But when a false
start penalty marched the Knights
back five yards, they turned to
Janakes to tie it with an extra point
at 34-34.
Hillsdales defense then expedited a quick change of possession,
allowing the Cougars to run just a
minute off the clock on a three-

and-out. Taylor had a big defensive

play as Half Moon Bay took a
shot at Gutierrez downfield on first
down, but Taylor caught up with
the speedy senior to break up the
pass. Etu then dropped Tomberlin
for a sack on second down. Two
plays later, Half Moon Bay punted
and the Knights took over at the
Cougars 44.
Parodi said, with :21.4 seconds
remaining, his strategy from the
drives opening play was to get
into field goal range.
With no timeouts, its how close
can we get, Parodi said. Time was
more important than yards. Youve
just got to make common sense
plays and it works out.
Wettleland opened with a creative
5-yard pass underneath to Nate
Shani. Then he hit Cozzolino for a

14-yard gain. With :10 seconds

remaining, Wettleland found sophomore Joey Sabel at the 18-yard line.
That set up Janakes game-winner.
Im tore up, Tomberlin said.
Im mad. But Im trying to keep my
teams heads high and move on. ...
Every team losses.
For the Knights who trailed 60 at the end of the first quarter it
was a matter of steady momentum
towards a spectacular finish.
We didnt start too well as a
team, Parodi said. Half Moon
Bay hats off to them they
played a great game. We came out
a little excited, a little overamped, and were trying to get our
bearing straight. They got us a
couple times in that third quarter,
and then we got it going in the
fourth quarter.

Otherwise, Menlo may find itself

in the opposite situation from last
years CCS bracket. The Knights
entered as the No. 5 seed in 2014,
only to pull off three straight
upsets en route to the title by
defeating No. 4 Mitty, No. 1
Saratoga and No. 3 St. Francis.
This year with Menlo having a
19-1 overall team record, its only
loss coming to Punahou School of
Honolulu Shine said the Knights
figure to enter the CCS bracket as
the top seed.

last long. You dont build perhaps
the greatest dynasty in NFL history, one that hasnt had a losing
season since 2000, by stopping to
smell the roses.
Not ever.
I thought there were a lot of
good things out there, Belichick
said coldly. Still a lot of things
we need to work on.
Somewhere under that hoodie,
hes probably still mad about that
Super Bowl loss almost eight years
ago, when the Patriots won their
rst 18 games only to be beaten in
the one that really mattered when
David Tyree somehow caught a ball
off the side of his helmet.
Can this team do what that team
couldnt? Could this team go 19-0?
Probably not.
The biggest potential stumbling
block is a Nov. 29 trip to Denver
to face the unbeaten Broncos (6-0).
Two road trips to New York, one to
face the Giants on Nov. 15, the
other against the AFC East rival
Jets on Dec. 27, could possibly
trip the Patriots up, too.
Then again, its hard to see anyone
stopping Brady and all those
weapons he has around him, from
Rob Gronkowski, the best tight end
on the planet, to receiver Julian
Edelman and running backs LeGarrett
Blount and Dion Lewis. The defense
gets overlooked, but its playing
well enough to carry the Patriots to
another Super Bowl championship.
Edelman shrugged off any pressure to stay unbeaten.
Its more about just going out
there and hammering the nail away,
all the way in, he said. Thats what
coach always says. Just hammer
away, because if you dont, youre
going to be stubbing your toe on
the oor with the nail coming out.
The Dolphins werent the rst
team to get hammered by the
Patriots.

victory is more than 16.5 points

per game, and its really not even
that close. Pittsburgh scored a
meaningless touchdown with 2 seconds remaining to lose 28-21 in
Week 1. Buffalo trailed 37-13 entering the fourth quarter in Week 2,
before rallying to a more
respectable 40-32 setback.
Only two games have given the
Patriots a serious challenge. They
trailed the Jets 20-16 in the fourth
quarter, but Brady threw a pair of
touchdown passes to pull out a 3023 victory. Indianapolis led New
England at halftime and may have
pulled off the upset if not for one of
the worst plays in NFL history, a
fake punt that never had a chance,
allowing the Patriots to escape
with a 34-27 triumph.
That said, New England hasnt
been quite as dominant as that
2007 team, which won by an average of 19.7 points during its perfect regular season.
Of course, that just gives
Belichick something else to hold
over his current group.
Hes already got plenty.
Remember, the NFL is appealing
the ruling that threw out Bradys
suspension. While it seems unlikely to succeed given the scathing
criticism of the leagues shoddy
investigation by the trial judge,
its still hanging out there, still
spurring on the Patriots.
The other 31 teams might want
to advise the commish to quietly
let it go.
No need to make these guys even
madder.

Tragedies in Aegean
highlight EU divisions
By Derek Gatopoulos and Nicholas Paphitis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LESBOS, Greece Drowned babies and toddlers washed

onto Greeces famed Aegean Sea beaches, and a grim-faced
diver pulled a drowned mother and child from a half-sunk
boat that was decrepit long before it sailed. On shore,
bereaved women wailed and stunned-looking fathers cradled
their children.
At least 27 people, more than half of them children, died
in waters off Greece Friday trying to fulfill their dream of a
better life in Europe. The tragedy came two days after a boat
crammed with 300 people sank off Lesbos in one of the
worst accidents of its kind, leaving 29 dead.
It wont be the last.
As autumn storms threaten to make the crossing from
Turkey even riskier and conditions in Middle Eastern
refugee camps deteriorate, ever more refugees mostly
Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis are joining the rush to reach
Europe.
More than 60 people, half of them children, have died in
the past three days alone, compared with just over a hundred
a few weeks earlier.
Highlighting political friction in the 28-nation European
Union, Greeces left-wing prime minister, Alexis Tsipras,
cited the horror of the new drownings to accuse the block of
ineptitude and hypocrisy in handling the crisis.
Hungarys right-wing foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto,
used the same word hypocrisy about critics of his
countrys fencing off its southern border to keep migrants
out.
Szijjarto described the influx as the biggest challenge the
EU has ever faced. While that may be an over-statement, the
crisis has pitted countries like Greece, with well over
500,000 arrivals so far, against eastern Europeans who are
unwilling to take in refugees or, like Hungary, insist that
anyone leaving a relatively safe country, such as Turkey or
Greece, for a wealthy one like Germany is by definition an
economic migrant.
Speaking in Athens, Tsipras accused Europe of an inability to defend its (humanitarian) values by providing a safe
alternative to the sea journeys.
The waves of the Aegean are not just washing up dead
refugees, dead children, but (also) the very civilization of
Europe, he said, dismissing Western shock at the childrens deaths as crocodile tears.
What about the tens of thousands of living children,
who are cramming the roads of migration? he said. I feel
ashamed of Europes inability to effectively address this
human drama, and of the level of debate ... where everyone
tries to shift responsibility to someone else.
Tsipras government has appealed for more assistance
from its EU partners.

Two Palestinian attacks, Israeli

police say; two stabbers killed

RAMALLAH, West Bank A

Palestinian stabbed and wounded an
American man at a station of Jerusalems
light rail on Friday before he was shot
dead by police, security guards and civilians, police said. An Israeli man was
wounded in the cross-fire.
In the West Bank, two Palestinians
carrying knives ran toward an Israeli
checkpoint, drawing fire from troops
who killed one and critically wounded
the other, according to police and a
Palestinian medic.
Fridays incidents were the latest in a

series of Palestinian attacks that

began in mid-September and were
accompanied by widespread unrest,
including clashes between Palestinian
stone-throwers and Israeli troops.
There were no further details on the
identity of the American.
In all, 11 Israelis were killed in
Palestinian
attacks
and
66
Palestinians died by Israeli fire in the
past six weeks. Forty of the
Palestinians killed were said by Israel
to have been involved in attacks or
attempted
attacks.
Nineteen
Palestinians were wounded by Israeli
fire in West Bank clashes Friday, the
Palestinian Health Ministry said.

Israel has blamed Palestinian attacks

on what it says is anti-Israel incitement by Palestinian political and religious leaders. Palestinians say the
violence is largely driven by the hopelessness many Palestinians feel after
nearly half a century of Israeli military
rule, with no end in sight.
Meanwhile, Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas, Foreign Minister
Riad Malki and senior Abbas aide Saeb
Erekat were to meet Friday with the
prosecutor of the International
Criminal Court at the courts headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands, to
hand over documentation on the recent
violence, Erekats office said.

Interior minister:
27 dead in club
fire in Bucharest
By Alison Mutler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUCHAREST, Romania A
heavy metal bands pyrotechnical
show sparked a deadly fire at a
Bucharest nightclub, killing 27
people and injuring scores of the
clubs mostly youthful patrons,
officials and witnesses said.
Interior Minister Gabriel Oprea
initially said an explosion
occurred Friday night at Colectiv
club, located in a basement in a
building in downtown Bucharest,
a city of 3 million people. But
authorities heading the rescue
effort later said there had been a
fire and no explosion.
Witnesses told Antena 3 TV that
there were between 300 to 400
mostly young people at the club,
housed in a former factory, and
only one exit door when the metal
band Goodbye to Gravity was performing and a pyrotechnical show
went awry. The station reported
that people panicked and rushed
for the exit.
Digi 24 television station cited
witnesses who said a spark on
stage ignited some polystyrene
decor.
Media reported that clubgoers

initially thought the flames were

part of the show and did not immediately react. Fire regulations can
be lax in Bucharest clubs and
restaurants.
An Associated Press photographer at the scene saw people wandering around outside the club clad
in emergency blankets in an
apparent state of confusion.
Upon hearing the news, people
descended on the club looking for
loved ones. Adding to their anxiety was the fact that many of the
clubgoers were not carrying identity papers so victims could not
immediately be identified.
Shes not answering the telephone and shes not saying anything, said a mother, dressed in a
black leather jacket, crying in
front of television cameras.
We want information whether
hes alive, said a visibly overcome woman, speaking about a
family member.
Media reported that emergency
services arrived 11 minutes after
the first call at 10:32 p.m. (2032
GMT).
Victor Ionescu, who was at the
club with his girlfriend, told
Antena 3 TV that people were

people were trampling on each
other.
A young man filmed by Antena 3
said that flames engulfed clubgoers, burning their skin and hair.
Several major nightclub fires
have been blamed on pyrotechnics igniting foam used for soundproofing, including The Station
nightclub fire in the U.S. that
killed 100 people in West
Warwick, Rhode Island, in 2003
and the Kiss nightclub fire in
Brazil, which killed 242 people in
the university town of Santa Maria
in 2013.
Raed Arafat, a government emer-

gency situation official, said that

people were treated for burns,
smoke inhalation and lesions at
hospitals around the capital.
Twenty-five were reported in serious condition at the Municipal
Hospital.
It is a tragedy without precedent and it is an intervention without precedent, he said.
Manager
of
the
Ophthalmological
Hospital,
Monica Pop, said the hospital had
treated teens aged 14 to 16 for
injuries.
Oprea called an emergency government meeting for Saturday

morning to discuss the situation.

According to the Bucharestbased metal bands Facebook
page, lead singer Andrei Gault was
the 2008 winner of Megastar, a
Romanian show similar to
American Idol. The band has
five members and has released two
albums since it formed in 2011.
President Klaus Iohannis wrote
on his Facebook page that he was
shaken and deeply hurt by the
tragic event. ... It is a very sad
moment for us all, for our nation
and for me personally. He said he
was considering declaring a day of
national mourning.

Roman Polanski very happy with Polish court ruling

By Monika Scislowska
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WARSAW, Poland Roman

Polanski beat a U.S. attempt to
extradite him as a Polish judge
ruled that the nations law forbids
sending the filmmaker back to the
United States, where he pleaded
guilty nearly four decades ago to
having sex with a minor.
I can breathe now with relief,
the Oscar-winning director told

reporters
in
Krakow, where
the case was
heard.
I
pleaded
guilty. I went to
prison. I have
done my penalty. The case is
closed, said
Roman
the 83-year old
Polanski
director, who
appeared thin and exhausted.

Saving lives, from crisis to independence

Polanski also beat a U. S.

attempt to extradite him from
Switzerland more than a decade
ago.
Fridays decision could finally
close the case in Polanskis favor.
The Polish prosecutor who argued
the case for extradition on behalf
of the United States did not immediately say whether there would be
an appeal.
Judge Dariusz Mazur said the
case was very complicated but an

extradition procedure would violate the human rights of the elderly Polanski because he could be
sentenced to confinement.
I find no rational answer to the
question: what is the real point of
the U.S. extradition request? said
Mazur, who spent more than two
hours explaining his reasoning to
the court in Krakow.
Mazur said Polanski served his
punishment in confinement in the
U.S., and later for 10 months

partly under house arrest in

Switzerland in 2009-2010 when
the U.S. unsuccessfully sought his
extradition there.
U.S. judges and prosecutors in
the case violated legal procedures,
broke the plea bargain in 1977,
denied Polanski the right to proper defense and appeared biased, the
judge found.
Polanski was not in court for the
ruling, but followed live TV coverage of the proceedings.

The Idaho stop

Near the end of Halo 5: Guardians (Microsoft, for

problem with violence.

attention? The entire Halo series is about flying to distant planets and then shooting everything that moves.
That formula has served Microsoft well since the first

n San Francisco, there has been some

turmoil caused by a recent proposal to
allow cyclists to roll through stop
signs known as the Idaho stop, this rule
would almost be a legal California stop for
cyclists, where they would yield at stop
signs, without having to come to a complete stop.
The Idaho stop is a
common cycling practice
most cyclists arent
even aware that they are
legally required to come
to a full stop at stop
signs. In response to the
proposed ordinance,
local San Francisco
police began to enforce the stop sign violations more closely according to the
New York Times, they issued over 204 citations in just two days. The violation can
cost cyclists upwards of $200 a hefty
price for a seemingly minor infraction.
Furthermore, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee
is against the proposal. Despite support
from most of the members of the Board of
Supervisors, it doesnt look like it will
pass.
Personally, I bike to school roughly
three times a week. Riding from Foster
City to Aragon High School, the trip is
more than 6 miles, each way. Most of the
trip is done on the Bay Trail, free from any
stop signs or other obstacles save for the
occasional pedestrian. However, my trip
takes me through the neighborhoods below
Aragon, in between El Camino Real and
Alameda de las Pulgas often hilly, the
narrow lanes serve small, isolated cul-desacs of family homes. The roads, with
speed limits of no more than 25 mph, have
many stop signs but few cars pass
through the area, especially around 7 a.m.
and 4 p.m. the times when I bike there.
More often than not I perform the
Idaho stop I slow down, taking a quick
glance to make sure no cars are around,
then I keep going. Ive never felt like I was
doing something dangerous, or illegal,
when I did this it felt normal why
would anyone want to stop me?

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

CHIHARU SHIOTAS TRACE OF

MEMORY: ART YOU CAN GET
INTO, AT THE MATTRESS FACTORY
IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA.
Feelings of loss and questions of memory
are often the subject matter for Japaneseborn, Berlin-based installation artist
Chiharu Shiota. One of her most recent sitespecific works on these themes, Trace of
Memory (2013), fills an entire renovated
19th-century row house owned by the
Mattress Factory, a contemporary art museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In room
after room, on floor after floor, webs of
multi-layered, intricately strung black yarn
enclose shoes, pianos, beds, desks, suitcases and other material fragments of day-today life. The partitions of yarn impel the
visitor to look more closely, while at the
same time obscuring the view. Shiotas
intriguing work, which may be viewed
through May 31, 2016, is the first to be
installed in the row house, which had stood
empty for decades. When the artist first visited, she began to imagine what the lives of
the former occupants had been, and she
decided to assemble used objects to recreate
the stories she developed in her mind.
Shiota believes that both the house and the
objects contain memories, which she traps
by weaving thousands of yards of black
yarn through the rooms and corridors.
Those intangible memories represent existence in the midst of absence a concept
that fascinates her. Commenting on her
work, Shiota said: When I weave, I create
patterns that can be seen as a mirror of my
feelings. For example, when my mind is
troubled, the thread entangles easily. On the
other side, when I feel balanced, the weavings I make become very regular. Like in
[Trace of Memory], my personal state of
mind and history is connected to the stories

of the objects I decide to put into my work.

THE MATTRES S FACTORY AND
SITE-SPECIFIC ART. Site-specific art is
created to exist in a certain place. Typically,
the artist takes the location into account
while planning and creating the artwork.
The work of art is created in the site and can
only exist there it cannot be moved or
changed. The Mattress Factory, featuring
site-specific installations created by artists
in residence from around the world, was
founded in 1977 by Artist Barbara
Luderowski in a former Stearns & Foster
mattress warehouse in Pittsburghs historic
Central Northside. From the beginning, the
Mattress Factory has been run by artists to
support artists working in residence as they
created site-specific installations. To date,
it has presented and commissioned new
installations by more than 650 artists.
Expanding from its original site, the
Mattress Factory has rehabilitated nine
properties to provide additional installation space, including, most recently, the
516 Sampsonia Way row house which houses Chiharu Shiotas Trace of Memory
(2013). The Mattress Factory is now an
internationally recognized leader in sitespecific, contemporary art and currently has
17 permanent installations on continuous
display, including works by James Turrell,
Bill Woodrow, Allan Wexler, William
Anastasi, Dove Bradshaw, Jene Highstein,
Rolf Julius, Yayoi Kusama, Winifred Lutz,
Greer Lankton, Vanessa Sica & Chris
Kasabach, and Monica M. Bock, Mary

Bullock entertains as
campaign operative
By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

They say timing is everything or at

least a whole lot. And on several fronts, the
George Clooney-produced Our Brand is
Crisis, starring Sandra Bullock as a damaged, ruthless political consultant, has
absolutely perfect timing.
First, its election season: Enough said!
And second, with all the recent discussion
about the need for more diverse, open-minded casting, heres a role that was originally
written for a man. And happily, in retrospect, the role seems like it SHOULD have
been written for a woman for Bullock, in
fact. Its a thornier, meatier role than shes
had in a while, one that allows her to use her
well-honed comic chops while also digging
deeper into a complicated, very flawed character.
As for the film itself, directed by David
Gordon Green, its undeniably entertaining,
but a conundrum. At times, it seems like a
funny and penetrating political satire along
the lines of Veep on HBO. (Check out the
amusing llama scene. Yes, we said llama.) At
others, its trying to be a much weightier
morality tale (Its based on or rather
suggested by Rachel Boyntons 2005
documentary of the same name). At
moments, these two aims mesh well
enough; at others, the zig-zag effect is jarring.
Bullock is Jane Bodine, otherwise known

as Calamity Jane, famous for winning elections at any cost. The truth is what I tell
the electorate the truth is, she likes to say.
When we first meet Jane, shes retired
from the down-and-dirty world of politics,
having been felled by a scandal involving
the violation of election laws. Shes living
in the boondocks somewhere, making pottery. She doesnt drink or smoke anymore,
and says she can finally look herself in the
eye.
But, like the proverbial wizened former
cop brought in for one last case, Jane is
convinced to join the campaign of a failing
candidate in Bolivia. Its good money, but
the real reason she agrees is that an old
nemesis, Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton,
channeling James Carville who actually
did work on the 2002 Bolivian election) is
already down there working for the opposition. These two are warriors to the death.
Arriving in La Paz, Jane confronts a candidate who is standoffish, elitist, and 28
points behind (Portuguese actor Joaquim de
Almeida is perfect for the role, and will be
readily recognized by fans of 24). After
some initial sluggishness (and slapsticky
altitude sickness) her competitive juices
kick in.
Observers of U.S. politics will recognize
every lesson learned here; When Pat seeks
to exploit Janes candidates short temper,
resulting in the candidate punching a man,
Jane stops her team from crafting an apology, and frames the punch as a sign of his nocrap approach. Its classic spin. Jane gets

her guy to doff his suit jacket and roll up his
sleeves. His poll numbers rise. Our brand,
Jane tells the team, is crisis. Convince
voters theyre in crisis, and tell them how
youre gonna save them.
The backdrop is the contentious relationship between Jane and Pat. While their
byplay is entertaining, its also frustrating.
We dont learn enough about the background; it would help to know more, and
sooner.
It all ends with the election, of course, but
a subplot involving an idealistic young
volunteer (appealing Bolivian actor
Reynaldo Pacheo) keeps the film honest, as

it were, with an ending aimed at making us

wonder what it all was for in the first place.
An excellent supporting cast includes
Anthony Mackie and the terrific Ann Dowd
as fellow consultants. Yet it all rests on
Bullock. Shes fun to watch. Check out her
priceless final remark in that llama scene.
Her brand is Bullock, and it works pretty
well.

release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for language
including some sexual references. Running
time: 107 minutes. Two and a half stars out

Bullock steps into a mans role in Our Brand is Crisis

By Lindsay Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Is she going to be hot?

Thats the question a studio executive
asked Sandra Bullock about the lead character
in a project she was pitching well into her
Hollywood career
I looked at him and I go, Well, it is me,
so you get what you get. You do realize that
Im pitching this for me? recalled Bullock
in a recent interview. He goes, Yeah, but I
want to know, like, what is she going to
wear?
Things have gotten a little better since
then. In Our Brand is Crisis, out Friday,
Bullock plays a role originally written for a
man, and no one checked in to see whether or
not the savvy political consultant character
was going to be a bombshell, too.
But this is the exception. Bullocks conversation with the studio executive remains
an all too familiar scene for actresses in
Hollywood, where sexist presumptions are
engrained in the culture.
Then theres the matter of substance with
roles for women. Bullock cant remember
how many times shes had to listen to a
writer try to explain how the the wife is
really the heart of the movie.
I know what that means. That means

youre going to be underwritten and youre

just going to be the wife waking up in bed
with the husband and making the coffee, she
said. If you say that Im the heart of the
piece, Im going to (expletive) clock you.
Thats why Bullock and her agent started
looking at roles for men. After all, male
characters dont always have to be likable.
Their comedies dont have to be of the
romantic variety. And the first question from
studio executives probably isnt going to be
Is he hot?
When Bullock read the unproduced screenplay for Our Brand is Crisis, she decided to
call longtime friends George Clooney and
producer Grant Heslov to see if there was any
chance they might consider her for the lead
an amoral, Sun Tzu-quoting political consultant whos come out of retirement for a
showdown with an old rival. They said yes.
To adapt the part, they changed around
some pronouns, they gave the character a
womans name, and they added some sexual
innuendos with her foe (Billy Bob
Thornton). But overall, it remained as originally written.
Part of that is the strength of screenwriter
Peter Straughans script, said Thornton. The
transition from male to female was easy
because it was never a type to begin with
the gender was almost incidental.

I tend as a writer to not identify characters

unless theres a reason for it, said Thornton.
(Straughan) wrote it as a person.
From there, director David Gordon Green
and his actors could focus on the big ideas in
this satirical story about a failing Bolivian
presidential candidate and the American lackeys hired to try to manipulate his image and
a country for the win.
As someone whose father worked in the
Pentagon, Bullock understands the allure of
stories about the underbelly of politics. The
do-anything candidates and unscrupulous
mercenaries in Our Brand is Crisis are especially resonant now, she notes.
You watch a debate and you watch these
people doing their thing even if its a can-

didate you like you watch them just

(expletive) people. You see it so clearly,
said Thornton. When Donald Trump says,
First of all, I respect women, I love women.
Its like, you start with that? That means you
dont!
But for Bullock, it wasnt simply about
politics.
Its about selling. Its about how we as a
culture have become so obsessed about what
the win is for us. Its about how lost in the
win we may have gotten, even to the detriment of our own soul and to the detriment of,
in this case, an entire body of people. And
who would be willing to step off that

have gone rogue, and its up to a new commando named Locke to hunt him down. And
assorted aliens are getting in everyones
way.
The missions in the eight-hour solo campaign fall into an uninspired pattern. You
go to another planet, which conveniently
has an assortment of guns lying around.
You plow your way through increasingly
aggressive waves of alien monsters. There
are occasional respites where you get to
drive a Warthog attack vehicle or fly a
zippy anti-gravity Ghost, but for the most
part youre on foot.
The major change is that whether youre
playing as Master Chief or Locke youre
now leading a four-person squad. This
opens up some limited tactical possibili-

ties primarily, ordering your team to

gang up on particular enemies as well as
the ability to tackle each mission with
three online friends.
As with any online relationship, you and
your friends will eventually want to stop
playing nice and start attacking each
other. And here, 343 Industries has built a
beefy collection of multiplayer battlefields.
Theyre divided into two sections, Arena
and Warzone. Arena is the traditional fourversus-four competition familiar to Halo
fans, with the usual variants like deathmatch and capture-the-flag. Warzone is
more ambitious. Its a 12-versus-12 affair,
with computer-controlled aliens added to
make the mayhem even more intense.

The sprawling Warzone maps accommodate a variety of gameplay objectives. At

the start of a match, you need to clear all
the AI monsters out of your base. Then you
can focus on taking over various control
points on the map, earning req points
you can spend on more effective weapons,

Family stress stars in perceptive

new dark comedy The Humans
By Jennifer Farrar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Brooklyn, based on Colm Tibns 2009 novel, challenges the

viewer to focus on the heart by not having any such dramatic
crutches.

Ronan enchants in warm

immigrant tale Brooklyn
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Brooklyn is a story for anyone who has ever left

home. Its a story for those whove waffled in indecision,
for those forming their identities and forging their own
paths. Its a story awash in muted pastel nostalgia about
family and love and ambition and heritage and goodbyes.
And its one of the loveliest films to grace cinemas this
year.
Theres very little drama in this tale of a young woman,
Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), who leaves her small Irish
town and her mother and sister in the 1950s to find a life
and career in New York.
That might make it feel to some like its not a full movie.
Weve been trained to expect horrible things to happen to
the people were groomed to love and root for, especially
in immigrant tales. Here things are just normal.
Eilis is cripplingly homesick at first, but shes not mistreated at work. She doesnt suffer extreme hardships or
experience any prejudice for her background or gender. Her
family doesnt disown her. Her boyfriend doesnt harbor
dark secrets and the priest (Jim Broadbent) who gets her a
job, a place to live, and a spot at a night college is actually just there to help and support.
If anything, Brooklyn, based on Colm Tibns 2009
novel, challenges the viewer to focus on the heart by not
having any such dramatic crutches. Eilis just has to work
and figure out what she wants.
We meet her first at a dead end job as a shop girl in the
tiny town of Enniscorthy, but shes already got a way out.
Her sister has made an appeal to an Irish priest living in
New York whos agreed to sponsor her trip across the
Atlantic and set up a job and housing. Eilis knows its the
only way to get her life started even though shes heartbroken to leave.
Ronan, who has proven herself to be one of our most talented ingnues, makes Eilis a leading lady that we usually
dont get to see. Shes smart and ambitious, but still quiet
and reflective. Shes polite, but not a pushover. Shes
good, but not prudish. Shes pretty, too, but in an understated way that makes most men overlook her. At a dance
early on, one actually sneers in her direction.
Unlike the girls around her, Eilis is not obsessed or even
the least bit concerned with finding a man. And yet one
finds her a small, sweet, slightly doltish but well-intentioned Italian-New Yorker plumber Tony (Emory Cohen)
who she slowly and believably falls for. In the midst of
their courtship, though, a tragedy brings her back to
Ireland where she meets and begins a flirtation with the
handsome Jim Farrell (Domhnall Gleeson). He is nice,
intelligent, and also smitten with Eilis.
Ads might have you believe that Brooklyn, directed by
John Crowley with a lean, witty script by Nick Hornby, is
entirely about which guy shell choose. It is partially that,
sure, but its not the full truth.
The conflict emerges not just because theres suddenly a
romantic prospect in Ireland. A fulfilling adult existence
there seems suddenly possible. She starts helping a local
office with their bookkeeping, she goes to the uncrowded
beaches with her friends, and she finds comfort in being
home.
In this way, each man represents a different life for Eilis.
In Ireland, she has stability, comfort, history and space. In
New York, she has uncharted possibilities and precious
anonymity.
Neither path is wrong. Thats the brilliance of this universal story. Some will surely be disappointed with her
choice, but thats the thing its her choice. Despite
everyones good intentions, advice and expectations, its
one that only she can make.
Brooklyn, a Fox Searchlight release, is rated PG-13 by
the Motion Picture Association of America for a scene of
sexuality and brief strong language. Running time: 111
minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

NEW YORK Just in time for the

often-stressful holiday family dinner
season comes The Humans, a dark
comedy about one familys often-fractious Thanksgiving gathering in uncertain times.
The blue-collar, Irish Catholic Blake
family is given a compassionate exploration by Stephen Karam, a 2012
Pulitzer Prize finalist for his drama
Sons of the Prophet and an expert at
writing natural-sounding dialogue for
ordinary people.
Karams warm look at family dynamics, perceptively directed by Joe
Mantello, opened Sunday night offBroadway at Roundabouts Laura Pels
Theatre. Over one scene in 90 real-time
minutes, the dollhouse-style presentation takes place in an unusual lowerManhattan basement duplex. The
close-knit family drives one another
crazy in loving ways while trying
unsuccessfully not to share their worries.
Twenty-something struggling musician Brigid Blake, (Sarah Steele, affectionate and spunky), has just rented the
oddly noisy place with her older
boyfriend, Richard (given amiable
charm by Arian Moayed). The spiral
staircase is perfect for eavesdropping,
and Mantello keeps the cast in smooth,
constant motion on both levels until
they finally gather at the dinner table.
Something seems to be brewing
between Brigids working-class parents, deftly portrayed by Reed Birney as
nervous, platitude-spouting Erik, and
Janye Houdyshell in wryly humorous
form as superstitious, loving mom
Deirdre. Theyve driven up from

The Humans is a clever, high-energy thriller.

Pennsylvania with Momo, Eriks
Alzheimers-affected mother. Lauren
Klein is devastatingly accurate in her
portrayal of Momos dementia, and the
familys joy is touching to watch when
Momo briefly comes to life as her old
self.
Karam clearly understands the instability affecting the American middleclass, and provides an especially
unlucky lawyer in the character of
Aimee, Brigids older sister (Cassie
Beck, both funny and touching). Shes
recently been knocked out of the partner track at her firm, dumped by her girlfriend and is facing major surgery. The
older generation isnt faring much better, as Erik plaintively complains about
the ever-rising cost of living, Dontcha
think it should cost less to be alive?
Despite their personal problems,
family members rally to participate in
good-humored teasing and their traditions of song and prayer, even as

unpleasant confessions may bubble up.

When Erik reluctantly shares a nightmare he just had about a monster, comic
book-loving Richard quietly makes a
seminal point of the play as he comments, The horror stories for the monsters are all about humans.
Mantello expertly stages overlapping conversations in different rooms
on the two-level set where David Zinn
has created an extra-creaky old
Manhattan apartment building. This
basement has eerie overtones, skillfully enhanced by Justin Townsends flickering lighting and Fitz Pattons sound
design. Loud crashing sounds above add
to an increasingly melodramatic
ambiance.
Even if the Blakes cant quite keep all
the harsh realities of life at bay,
Karams empathetic rendering of a family enduring setbacks leaves the audience hopeful that they will find
strength in their love for one another.

which would push the projects before
the City Council.
No members of the city staff were
available to comment on the proposal
going
before
the
Planning
Commission, according to City Clerk
Angela Louis.
Two developers have come forward
with proposals to build projects in the
area near the intersection of Millbrae
Avenue and El Camino Real.
BART has hired Republic Urban
Properties to build a mixed-use development that would include 164,000
square feet of office space, nearly
47,000 square feet for retail, more
than 300 residential units and a hotel
on a plot of land owned by the rail
company east of the transit station
currently occupied by a parking
garage.
A separate proposal nearby at 150

Serra Ave. aims to build 267, 000

square feet of office space, 32,000 feet
of retail space and 500 residential
units.
In all, the two developments are
slated to bring more than 800 new residents and nearly 900 new workers to
the city, which has raised concerns for
some regarding the impact on city
infrastructure.
Millbrae residents in the past have
identified potential issues with the
amount of traffic and parking problems the developments could create,
as well as additional effects on the
local housing market, schools and
other public services.
Residents had an opportunity to formally submit their concerns to the
city regarding the projects during the
public input period of the environmental input review process, and more
than 100 letters were received, according to a city report.
The proposed developments, specifically the BART project, have been

months nearing Election Day, Nov. 3.
Republic Urban Properties made a
significant campaign donation, along
with other concerned parties, worth
$26, 000 supporting incumbent
Mayor Robert Gottschalk and candidate Ann Schneider and opposing candidate Gina Papan, who has been a
vocal critic of the BART development.
No final approval will be granted at
the meeting Monday, Nov. 3, but the
Planning Commissions recommendation would be moved before the City
Council at a yet to be determined date.
The project is part of a vision which
could shape the future of the area in
Millbrae, which is part of an effort to
rejuvenate the economic viability of
the city, according to the report.
There are a variety of other sites
near the area of Millbrae Avenue, El
Camino Real and Rollins Road which
are eligible to be developed under the
guidelines set for approval by the city
government, but projects are yet to be
submitted for those sites.
The Millbrae Planning Commission
