The consequences are different, Verducci said.

San Mateo rhino artist doing major exhibition Police reports

Sarah Sowards Sky Blue will be featured in Genova, Italy
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A passion for rhinos combined with art

has led San Mateos Sarah Soward to exhibit her work on the animal in Italy and her
work will also be featured in San Mateo.
Sowards work is accepted into the
Artist4Rhino exhibition at the Museo
Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova, Italy.
Sowards painting, Sky Blue, will be
hung alongside work by artists like Luca
Bonfanti and Andrea Cereda. The exhibition
is a collection of works focused on the rhinoceros and aims to bring more awareness
to the species potential extinction since
they are critically endangered, raise money
for conservation and use art to get more people interested in rhinos. The Claremont Art
Studios, where she paints her work, will
also feature her work at the end of this
month.
Its totally exciting, said Soward, 36. I
keep getting floored every time they send
me an email. I say, oh my god its real. A
month ago, I got the total confirmation and
its been different levels of surreal; its
interesting because I dont speak Italian.
Although she would love to visit the exhibition, Soward said she doesnt think she
can afford the trip out to Italy.
Soward started painting the 1- to 1.5-ton
animals in 1999 and donates a percentage of
her rhino painting sales to the International
Rhino Foundation. Soward, who went to art
school at California College of the Arts in
San Francisco, started painting rhinos after
a longtime friend of hers, who vanished to
Mexico and returned two years later
engaged, commissioned Soward to paint a
rhino for her wedding.
Im addicted, she said. I started with
one painting, then five, then I painted more
rhinos, then I did more rhino shows. Ive
done some weird sculpture things and
abstract work, but kept

coming back to the rhinos. About three or four
years ago, I decided to
stick with rhinos for the
rest of my life.
Her largest rhino series
is called Rhinotopia,
which ties the rhino to
Sarah Soward various myths, archetypes and deities. She
paints them in settings and colors not normally associated with a rhino, along with
zebras, elephants, lions, tigers, Hawaiian
birds and colorful creatures, most of which
are endangered. Her 2012 Sky Blue is part
of the Italian series.
Her entry into the Italian exhibition was
spurred by seeing another animal artist
friends Facebook feed.
He had something on his feed close
enough to English that I saw it was something just about rhinos, she said. Gabriele
(Buratti) said as long as I could ship the
painting to them, it was OK for me to
apply.
Soward, who has lived in San Mateo for
the past few years, paints, teaches, does
design work and coding and development
work for websites. She lived in San
Francisco for 15 years after high school and
needed a change for a whole lot of reasons,
she said.
I visited a friend in Hawaii and fell in
love with it out there, she said. I went to
an art event with my friend and met this awesome guy, dated him and he moved back to
the Bay Area. We were dating long distance
and then he moved back to Hawaii.
Ultimately, the two decided to move back
to the Bay Area and are now engaged. Her
work aside from painting is starting to wind
down now.
I can paint more because its going
well, she said.

Officers who shot, killed

burglary suspect identified
Two Menlo Park police officers and one
sergeant are on administrative leave after
shooting and killing an allegedly fleeing
burglary suspect on Tuesday afternoon,
police said Friday.
Sgt. Jaime Romero and Officers Scott
Mackdanz and Nicholas Douglas shot and
killed Jerry Matheny, 52, of Nuevo in
Riverside County after he allegedly fled a burglary-in-progress on Willow Place and pulled
a gun, police said.
Officers responded at 12:33 p.m. after
receiving a call that a suspicious person was
in the area. An office worker had recognized
Matheny from a description of a possible
burglar distributed to employees of the venture capital and startup firms in the area.
As police arrived, Matheny allegedly fled
and one officer used a Taser stun gun to try and
stop him. He then allegedly pulled out a gun
prompting Romero, Mackdanz and Douglas
to open fire.
Matheny was hit by gunfire and pronounced dead at the scene.
One of the officers injured his knee during
the chase and was taken to a hospital with
injuries not considered life-threatening.
Matheny was found with the gun he
allegedly brandished at the officers and a
stolen wallet, police said. He is believed to
be connected to a series of burglaries in San
Mateo and Santa Clara counties where the
thief would go into offices and take personal
items from employees.
The three officers were placed on administrative leave while the San Mateo County

shooting, which is standard protocol for an

States pension liability grows by billions

By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO With each passing year,

California taxpayers are increasingly liable
for billions of dollars more to cover retirement benefits for police, firefighters, teachers and other public employees, according to
a massive amount of pension data recently
released by the state Controllers Office.
A decade of financial data posted by
Controller John Chiang on his open-data
website, ByTheNumbers.sco.ca.gov , shows
that the states 130 public pension systems
are carrying $198 billion in unfunded liability in 2013, compared with $6.3 billion of
unfunded liability in 2003.
The systems run by the state, cities and
other government agencies range from the
nations largest public pension system, the
California Public Employees Retirement
System (CalPERS) with $281.1 billion in
assets in 2013, to the smallest, the City of
Pittsburg
Miscellaneous
Employees
Retirement System of 1962, with assets of
less than $9,000.
Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
By pushing our state into the digital age
of providing knowledge and information, I
hope to empower greater citizen participation in how government handles a policy
matter which is central to Californias longterm prosperity, Chiang said in a statement.
Chiang, a Democrat who recently cruised
to victory in the state treasurers race, has
been using his position as the states chief
fiscal officer to make government records
transparent and accessible. In a recent audit
report, he criticized CalPERS for a passive
approach that he said invites abuse.
The website allows users to compare data
from multiple pension systems, track trends
over the past 10 fiscal years and download
raw data.
The controller warns that many of the
states public pension systems are
unhealthy. In 2013, there were 17 plans that

were underfunded by at least 40 percent, and
another 45 were funded between 60 and 80
percent. Only 22 were funded at over 80 percent, the benchmark often used to measure
solvency.
The state is also responsible for a growing
number of retirees. In 2003, there were
816,208 retired workers drawing pensions
from defined benefit systems. In 2013, the
number of retirees had grown to 1.22 million.
CalPERS leaders have done a lot of work
over recent years to improve and ensure the
long-term sustainability of our system, said
Rosanna Westmoreland, a spokeswoman for
the fund, and we think the controllers database is a welcome tool to help inform policymakers and the public about the health of
public pensions.
CalPERS reported $57.4 billion in unfunded liabilities for 2013.

Los Angeles reaches agreement on Owens Lake dust

By Tami Abdollah
LOS ANGELES Los Angeles could save

billions of gallons of water under an agreement announced Friday that allows it to use
waterless methods to control dust at Owens
Lake.
The agreement with the Great Basin
Unified Air Pollution Control District follows years of legal squabbling over responsibility for poor air quality at the Eastern
Sierra lakebed, which was left dry after a
growing Los Angeles began in 1913 to
divert its waters 200 miles south.
Under the new agreement, the city expects
to save nearly 3 billion gallons of water

this year or enough water for 43,000 people by using less water-intensive and
completely waterless measures, such as
planting native grasses.
Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a statement
that the deal was a significant win for
ratepayers and our environment in both LA
and the Owens Valley.
Since a 1998 agreement, LA has spent
more than $1.3 billion on the nations
largest dust mitigation project, mainly by
putting water back into more than 45 square
miles of lakebed. The Los Angeles
Department of Water and Power said it uses
about 25 billion gallons of water annually
to limit dust on the lakebed and has eliminated more than 90 percent of excess blowing dust through its efforts.
Its expected to take roughly three years
for the city to ramp up new less water-intensive dust control methods, but once that
occurs, the city expects to save roughly 10
billion gallons annually, said Joe Ramallo,
a spokesman for the Department of Water
and Power.
The size of the dust control area the city is
responsible for has long been an issue of
contention. State regulators ordered Los
Angeles to expand efforts to control dust
storms by an additional 3 square miles of the
110-square-mile lakebed in 2012.

Two employees hurt
after blast at Vallejo school
VALLEJO Two maintenance workers
at Vallejo High School were seriously
injured Friday in an explosion inside a

Vallejo High School was evacuated after
the blast around 8 a.m. Friday. Students
were not near the classroom, and no students were harmed, school officials said.
The blast happened in an unoccupied
classroom that was undergoing a routine
check following a construction repair

Challenge to Obamacare on contraceptives rejected

By Pete Yost
WASHINGTON A federal appeals court

on Friday upheld a path devised by the
Obama administration that allows religious
nonprofit groups to avoid paying for contraception under the presidents health care
law.
In a 3-0 decision, the U. S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
rejected a challenge by the groups, which
claimed that the accommodation still
imposes a substantial burden on their
expression of religion.
The Affordable Care Act requires that
women covered by group health plans be
able to acquire Food and Drug
Administration-approved contraceptive
methods at no additional cost. In response
to an outcry from religious groups, the government devised the accommodation, but
he Bay s i de STEM Academy has

been awarded a Go l de n B e l l
Award, an educational honor in
California sponsored by the Cal i fo rni a
Scho o l Bo ards As s o ci ati o n.
Bayside was recognized for its innovative
curriculum in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and design thinking.
The association visited the school in
September and praised the school for its
excellent integration of STEM throughout
the curriculum, the schools unique electives
offered and the resulting enthusiasm and
engagement of students as they innovate,
prototype and test. Bayside STEM will
receive its award at a recognition ceremony
to be held on 12:30 p. m. -2:30 p. m.
Tuesday, Dec. 16 at the associations
the groups continued to oppose the regulations.

To be eligible for the accommodation, a
religious organization must certify to its
insurance company that it opposes coverage for contraceptives and that it operates
as a nonprofit religious organization.
The religious groups argued that the
notice to insurance companies requesting
the accommodation is a trigger that will
result in the government hijacking their
health plans and using them as conduits for
providing contraceptive coverage to their
employees and students.
The Archdiocese of Washington on Friday
called the ruling very troubling and deeply
flawed. It said in a statement that the law
still forces church-affiliated groups to
cooperate in the delivery of morally objectionable products and procedures.
But the appeals court said that all the religious groups must do to opt out is to

House sends Keystone XL

oil pipeline bill to Senate
By Dina Capppiello
WASHINGTON Congress
inched closer Friday to a possible
showdown with President Barack
Obama over the Keystone XL oil
pipeline as the Republican-controlled House approved the project. Supporters in the Democraticrun Senate predicted they will get
the 60 votes needed to pass it next
week.
The House vote was 252-161 in
favor of the bill, which was sponsored by Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La.,
in an effort to boost his chances to
take a Louisiana Senate seat away
from Democrat Mary Landrieu. The
two are headed for a Dec. 6 runoff
and have been touting their energy
credentials in the oil and gas-producing state.
Should the Senate send the bill
to Obama for his signature, he
would face a decision that pits
some of his environmental concerns about the pipeline, mainly
its consequences for global warm-

ing, against potentially helping a
fellow Democrat making a longshot bid to retain her Senate seat.
The House bill was supported by
221 Republicans, with not a single GOP lawmaker voting against
it. Thirty-one Democrats backed
the bill, while 161 rejected it.
This will make it easier for the
Senate to do right by the American

people and finally vote on building the pipeline, Cassidy said in a
statement after the vote.
The bills passage marked the
ninth time the House had passed a
bill to speed up the pipelines construction.
Landrieu pushed the Senate to
hold its upcoming vote on the

measure. In a call with reporters
from Louisiana, where she was
campaigning, Landrieu called herself the sparkplug to get the
Keystone bill through Congress.
The House bill is identical to one
introduced by Sen. John Hoeven,
R-N.D., and Landrieu in May.
This bill was drafted to go the
distance, said Landrieu.
As of Friday, supporters of the
measure appeared to have at least
59 of the 60 Senate votes they
would need for approval next
week. That included all 45
Republicans and 14 Democrats.
Landrieu conceded, though, that
it is unlikely the Senate or House
will have the two-thirds majorities
that would be needed to override an
Obama veto of the bill. She said
she did not know Obamas plans.
He most certainly understands
my position, Landrieu said. He
understands that there are 15-plus
Democrats in the Senate that really
want to build the Keystone
pipeline.
Republicans mull response to Obama on immigration

By Erica Werner
WASHINGTON
House
Republicans debated Friday how to
respond to President Barack
Obamas expected executive action
on immigration, with GOP leaders
anxious to craft a solution that satisfies the demands of their most
conservative members without
courting a government shutdown.
Options under consideration
include suing the president to
overturn his action, or passing a
stand-alone bill to try to stop
him. Some are pushing for House

Republicans to write own immigration bill something theyve
been unable to do in the past two
years to show they are serious
about acting and pre-empt Obama.
But its not clear that any of
these options will be enough to
deflate efforts brewing among
conservatives to use upcoming
must-pass spending bills to block
Obama from acting. Pragmatists
in the caucus are warning loudly
that such an approach could result
in a government shutdown
because Obama would likely veto

he refused to take a position

of the purse to restrain a president

Constitution in the most obscene

As for shutdown fears, King
pointed to the GOPs success in

that the party wasnt hurt by the
last government shutdown it provoked. That was a year ago, in an
unsuccessful effort to defund
Obamas health care law.

We picked up beaucoup seats in
the House and won the vast majority in the Senate. Wheres the
political penalty for doing the
right and just and responsible
thing? King said.
Many Republicans, though, are
determined to avoid a shutdown,
convinced they would pay a political price, and disturbed that they
already find themselves in the
position of debating one barely a
week after the midterms awarded
them control of the Senate and a
bigger majority in the House.

G-20 summit opens in Australia; growth tops agenda

By Kristen Gelineau
BRISBANE, Australia As G-20 summit

host Brisbane sweltered through a blistering heat wave, world leaders on Saturday got
down to the business of cementing plans to
drag a sagging global economy out of the
doldrums.
The leaders of the worlds 20 largest
economies are under pressure to take definitive action at this years summit, rather than
simply producing a set of vague, unmeasurable goals. The International Monetary
Fund has warned about a new mediocre for
the worlds economy, and the G-20 which
represents around 85 percent of the global
economy has vowed to focus on a plan to
add $2 trillion to world GDP.
U.S. President Barack Obama touched
down in Brisbane early Saturday to join the
other leaders, with talks scheduled to begin
in the afternoon.
The summit will conclude on Sunday with
the release of an official communique, a run-
down of what the countries have achieved

and want to achieve in the future. Australian
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has repeatedly
stressed that the main focus of the gathering
is to show progress on a previouslyannounced plan of lifting the global GDP
by 2 percent above predicted levels over the
next five years. Each country is expected to
present a comprehensive plan at the summit
on how they will achieve that goal but
whether the communique will reveal any of
those details is unclear.
Rights groups, meanwhile, are concerned
that the countrys growth plans will focus
on tough austerity measures, such as axing
unemployment benefits, to hit the target,
rather than proposing initiatives that would
invest money in health, education and job
growth. The Civil Society 20 group, or
C20, wants assurances that the poor will
benefit the most from the plans, estimating
that the additional growth could lift 1 billion people out of poverty if it was poured
into the poorest 20 percent of G-20 households.

Iraqs forces drive IS militants from key town

U.S. hits al-Qaida militants in Syria for third time
By Ryan Lucas
BEIRUT U.S. aircraft fired missiles

at al-Qaida militants in Syria for a third
time as part of the international campaign against Islamic extremists,
American officials and a Syrian activist
said.
American defense officials said the
strike took place Thursday and targeted
the Khorasan group, which the U.S. says
is a special cell within al-Qaidas Syrian
branch known as the Nusra Front

plotting attacks against Western interests. The officials did not provide any
details, and spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
Later Friday, the U.S. Central Command
said in a statement that a U.S. airstrike
struck terrorists associated with a network of veteran al-Qaida operatives,
sometimes called the Khorasan Group,
who are plotting external attacks against
the United States and our allies.

BAGHDAD Iraqi forces drove Islamic

State militants out of a strategic oil refinery
town north of Baghdad on Friday, scoring
their biggest battlefield victory since they
melted away in the face of the terror groups
stunning summer offensive that captured
much of northern and western Iraq.
The recapture of Beiji is the latest in a
series of setbacks for the jihadi group,
which has lost hundreds of fighters to
airstrikes by a U. S. -led coalition in a
stalled advance on the Syrian town of
Kobani. On Friday, activists there reported significant progress by Kurdish fight-
ers defending the town.

Iraqi security officials said government
forces backed by allied militiamen took
control of Beiji and also lifted a monthslong Islamic State siege on its refinery
Iraqs largest. However, two military officials reached by telephone in Beiji late
Friday said there was still some fighting
going on at the refinery, but reinforcements
had been sent in and Iraqi forces were poised
to retake it.
The security officials said the army used
loudspeakers to warn the small number of
residents still holed up inside the town to
stay indoors while bomb squads cleared
booby-trapped houses and detonated roadside bombs.
OPINION
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Obamacares confusing numbers

Other voices
Anniston (Alabama) Star
ne of the Affordable Care

Acts bothersome traits is its
reliance on numbers to judge
its success and those numbers
vary, depending on who provides
them.
That said, President Obamas signature legislation is having a profound
effect on health care in the United
States. By any measure, more
Americans have health insurance
today than before the law went into
effect a 25 percent reduction in the
uninsured this year, by most estimates. Obamacare may be a awed
law, but in that sense, it is working.
Saturday marks the laws second
open-enrollment period a critical
phase in Obamacares growth. But
heres where the numbers begin to
vary.
On Monday, the Obama administration estimated that 9.1 million people would sign up for health insurance
under the Affordable Care Act by the
end of 2015. Thats several million
fewer than most independent projections and those of the Congressional
Budget Ofce, according to The New
York Times. The CBOs estimate: 13
million in 2015.
Anne Filipic, the president of the
nonprot Enroll America, which
advocates for expanded health care
coverage, told The Times that the
White House had taken a pragmatic,
analytical approach to its 2015 projections. Its easy to understand why.
Memories of Obamacares botched
rollout and website issues havent
fully subsided. What was to be the
shining moment of Obamas presidency was overwhelmed by a website that

crashed under pressure. Months went
by before the story about the
Affordable Care Act wasnt a story
about an administration with a balky,
ineffective online signup.
Today, the Obama administrations
reserved projections are in sharp contrast to its bold predictions of the
past. Understandable? Yes. But its a
byproduct of previous mistakes, an
administration that would rather
undersell the laws potential now
instead of being forced to address
missed goals tomorrow.
As weve seen for the last six years,
this White House hasnt excelled at
messaging and timing, especially on
matters as important as the Affordable
Care Act. Low-balling its projections
on Obamacare may limit future disappointments, but its hardly the tact of
a condent administration.
Letters to the editor

Invest in those
who invest in others
Editor,
San Mateo County employees are
seeing an increase in wages. The
Board of Supervisors understands that
the nature of their work is important.
And, with a signicant surplus of
funds ($300 million), theyve invested in their workers. The county refuses to invest in home care.
At least 70 percent of people will
need assistance at some point in their
life. In-home support service
providers are the key to keeping
members of this community at home.
We save taxpayers money. We provide for those who are unable to fully
provide for themselves. We should be
treated with the same respect county
employees are given. The Board of
Supervisors has the opportunity to
promote real change. They can be the
champion for over 5,000 IHSS
providers by giving us a wage
increase and benets. Do the right
thing, San Mateo County. Invest in

as a veteran, why we served to

defend the right of our citizens to
exercise the freedom of expression.
This right implicitly carries with it
the idea one should be reasonably
accurate and true in its use.Mr. De
Filippis fails in this regard by being
patently false, choosing instead to be
inammatory to President Obama by
placing him in league with Hitler,
Stalin, Mau, Castro, Putin and
Chavez by accusing the president of
supposedly threatening free speech.
By President Obama promoting
net neutrality, he is not threatening
content, but the rate of how the content is provided. Free press is thus
aided, not threatened, as Mr. De
Filippis has espoused, by the fact
that no one will have their access to
the Internet blocked, slowed or
manipulated by Internet providers
through closer regulation, somewhat
akin to our airwaves.Further, the
president does not want to silence the
Internet as accused but to keep it open
and free as it is now constituted.
Perhaps, it is hoped, Mr. De Filippis
will learn the lesson of using research
and facts, and less venom, if he is
interested in persuading his readers of
an opinion.

The trance of new development

Editor,
Regarding the letters from
bike/train users in the Nov. 10 edition of the Daily Journal, I say, Bike
riders, if you think trains are inadequate now, you aint seen nothin
yet.
Morning and evening commuter
trains are already lled to capacity.
What will it be like when every citys
multiple, new and planned developments increase population? (With the
exception of Foster City leaders who
vetoed new building plans late
kudos to them.) Even local school
districts are expressing concern at the
housing boom.
Still, developers continue to sidle
up to city representatives, hat in
hand, guilty grin on face, promising
Nirvana and redemption for all who
embrace their mantra: transit-oriented
development.
City politicians, it is time to step
out of that trance.

The power of
one individual
I
will never forget the first day of my first political

science course at Howard University. More than 60
freshmen students filled the large classroom, each
of whom were intelligent, confident and hardworking to
some degree. It is not uncommon for new college students to enter their first class expecting they know
more than their professors, parents and peers. This class
was no exception. Little did we know, we were in for
quite the surprise.
The professor posed the following question: Can anyone
tell me the most powerful
force that governs our society? To no surprise, every student raised their hand high,
prideful and naive about the
professors question.
An eager student to my right
was called on and eloquently
stated that the government is
of course the most powerful
Jonathan Madison
force governing society.
No, replied the professor.
The next student who was called on suggested that the
president compelled the most power. No again, replied
the professor. After three more wrong answers, the sense
of pride and confidence began to leave the room and was
shortly replaced by confused expressions on each freshmans face. The question and answer period continued
for several minutes.
Then, the professor unexpectedly cold-called a student
in the back of the classroom who clearly was not paying
attention. The student replied, I dont know. The professor pressed him for an answer. In a joking tone, the
student replied, I think Im the most powerful force in
society. The class erupted in laughter. I found the students answer quite funny myself. Then, I looked at my
professor. He had a small grin on his face. Thats
right, he said in a commanding tone. Silence filled the
room. We were all puzzled.
That depends, of course, replied the professor. He
subsequently described that voting, reading up on current events and being actively engaged in policies that
govern our society determine just how powerful we as
individuals can be in influencing the forces that govern
our country.
Reflecting on this empowering moment, I decided to
take a look at the voter turnout numbers for the Nov. 4,
2014, election. To my surprise, the 2014 election
marked the lowest voter turnout in 72 years. According
to a New York Times article, only 36 percent of registered voters nationwide actually voted. This tells me
that only 36 percent of Americans actually exercised the
democratic power vested in them the same power
described by my professor. It was difficult for me to
come to grips with this reality, but this is the conclusion I draw from it.
We, as a society, are often quick to blame voter disengagement and low turnout on voters. The fact is that
partisan rhetoric, bickering and relentlessly negative
campaign tones, all play a role in producing voter apathy, frustration and disengagement. Perhaps we should
spend less time focusing on our partisan differences and
more time finding ways of inspiring people to actively
engage and participate in democracy.
The fact is that with a laundry list of national issues
far outside of our control, it is easy to forget the power
that one individual can possess here in the United
States. But, make no mistake, the government has a
strong propensity to grow tyrannical when our voices
become silent in the electoral process.
The power I reference is the power to fundamentally
influence and navigate the direction of our nation
through active engagement in policies which determine
the fate of the country. The power is great and yet, so
fragile. It often lies somewhere between the mercy of a
dominant government and at the fingertips of citizens
who are willing to fight for something better.
The bottom line is that we should be conscious of the
fact that our country becomes less and less reflective of
a real democracy when fewer voters exercise what is
arguably the most fundamental right they have the
right to vote.

row, a rare stretch for this year.
After flitting between tiny gains and
losses for most of the day, the Standard
and Poors 500 index rose just two-hundredths of one percent to close at a
record high. The Dow Jones industrial
average ended slightly lower, but the
losses were limited by a gain in energy
shares, which have been falling sharply
in recent months as oil prices drop.
As of Friday, the S&P 500 is up 10
percent so far this year.
The market has continued to surprise
me with its strength, said Uri
Landesman, president of Platinum
Partners, an investment fund in New
York. Its been almost a six-year party
... and it takes a lot to upset that
momentum.
The S&P 500 rose 0.49 points to
2,039.82. The Dow slipped 18.05
points, or 0.1 percent, to 17,634.74.
The Nasdaq composite rose 8.4 points,
or 0.2 percent, to 4,688.54.
Stocks have been mostly rising since
Oct. 15, when the S&P 500 nearly fell
into a correction, a trading term for a

data have lifted shares sharply since
then.
On Friday, investors got more good
economic news. The Commerce
Department reported that retail sales
rose 0.3 percent in October after a drop
in September. The reversal, though
modest, was interpreted by some market
experts as evidence that recent job gains
and lower gas prices are lifting spirits as
the holiday shopping season begins.
American consumers are starting

chief stock strategist at Wells Fargo

Virgin America shares jump in public-trading debut

By David Koenig
Virgin America made a successful takeoff

in its public trading debut Friday.
The shares opened at $27, $4 higher than
the price that the airline set, and ended the
day up 30 percent at $30.
The timing of the IPO by the Richard
Branson-backed airline could hardly be better. Airlines stocks have soared as the carriers reap huge profits thanks to full planes,
rising revenue and falling fuel prices. After
years of losing money, Virgin America is
now profitable.
The airline priced the shares at $23, near
the middle of its announced range of $21 to
$24 each, and raised more than $300 mil-
lion before expenses. The ticker symbol is

VA.
Virgin America Inc. started flying in 2007
with the goal of being low-cost but highflair. Its Airbus jets feature mood lighting,
leather seats and seatback touch screens for
watching TV, ordering drinks or chatting
with passengers in other rows.
The Burlingame-based airline scores well
in traveler surveys but lost money for six
years until earning $10 million in 2013. It
is hobbled by limited destinations and a
thin schedule. Virgin carried about 6 million passengers last year less than 6 percent of the crowd that flew on Southwest
Airlines. And Virgins key transcontinental
service faces stiff competition from
American, Delta, United and JetBlue, which
are chasing the same lucrative business

travelers with amenities such as lie-flat
seats.
In an interview Friday, CEO David Cush
said he is confident that his airline would
compete on those key routes and said that
having a lie-flat bed on a 5-hour cross-country flight was overrated.
Bransons Virgin Group remains a minority stockholder. The billionaires empire
suffered a setback last month when a testflight accident destroyed Virgin Galactics
SpaceShipTwo, designed to carry tourists
into space for $250,000 each. A test pilot
was killed. Cush said the accident would not
affect the airline.
Were obviously sad to lose someone
from the family, but we also understand that
Retail sales rise ahead of holiday shopping

By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON U.S. retail sales rose

modestly in October, evidence that recent
job gains and lower gas prices are lifting
consumer spending as the holiday shopping
season begins.
The Commerce Department said Friday
that retail sales rose 0.3 percent last month
after falling by the same amount in
September. Excluding gas stations, where
falling prices lowered spending, sales rose a
solid 0.5 percent.
Employers have stepped up hiring, giving more Americans paychecks to spend and
boosting consumer confidence. Stock

prices have reached new highs, possibly
encouraging more spending by wealthy
households. Greater spending could spur
more growth because consumer spending
makes up about 70 percent of economic
activity.
Auto sales rose a solid 0.5 percent, after
falling sharply in September. Americans
also spent more at restaurants and at sporting goods and health care stores.
Economists said the figures suggest consumer spending could rise by 2.5 percent to
3 percent in the fourth quarter. That would be
only a moderate gain, but above the JulySeptember quarters 1.8 percent increase.
The report shows a boost to consumer
spending power and sentiment from plummeting gasoline prices that we anticipate
will continue into the key holiday shopping period, said Ted Wieseman, an economist at Morgan Stanley.
Sales at electronics stores plunged after a
big gain the previous month, when the
newest iPhone went on sale.
The National Retail Federation, a trade
group, has forecast that holiday sales
defined as retail sales in November and
December will rise 4.1 percent this year,
compared with 2013. That would be the
biggest gain in three years.
While many categories showed sales
gains, there were some signs consumers
remain cautious.
Asiana gets 45-day ban on S.F. flights over crash

By Kim Tong-Hyung
SEOUL, South Korea South Korean officials said Friday they will ban Asiana Airlines
from flying to San Francisco for 45 days as
punishment for a deadly crash in July last
year.
An official from Asiana Airlines said the
company will appeal the decision by the
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and
Transports disciplinary committee, and will
consider legal measures if the committee

rejects the appeal. She did not want to be
named, citing company rules.
A ministry official, who spoke on condition of anonymity citing office rules, said if
the company does appeal, the ministry will
make a final decision within one month.
The official said the committee considered
the number of deaths and injuries and the
amount of property damage in deciding on the
length of the flight ban.
If the appeal is rejected, the ministry will
ask the company to choose a period in the
next six months to serve the suspension, he

said.
Asiana said it sells about 170,000 tickets a
year for its flights between Incheon and San
Francisco, with 70 percent of the customers
being non-South Koreans.
After an investigation that took nearly a
year, the U.S. National Transportation Safety
Board concluded in June that the pilots on
Asiana Flight 214 caused the crash by making errors during a landing in San Francisco.
Of the 307 people on board, three people were
killed and nearly 200 were injured.
theyve got a bit of a high-wire act theyre

trying to do there, Cush said. He said that
the accident would not cause Branson to
shrink from his role as the public face of the
airline.
Airlines and their shareholders have been
flying high the past two years. Mergers
have reduced competition and fares have
increased.
Since the start of 2013, shares of many
major U.S. airlines have more than doubled;
Delta Air Lines Inc. and Southwest Airlines
Co. have jumped about four-fold. Airline
stocks sagged briefly in early fall, but
theyve been rising again since early
October on falling prices for jet fuel just
in time to boost Virgins public stock offering.
Business brief
Can low oil prices
be good for the environment?
NEW YORK Deepwater drilling rigs are
sitting idle. Fracking plans are being scaled
back. Enormous new projects to squeeze oil
out of the tar sands of Canada are being
shelved.
Maybe low oil prices arent so bad for the
environment after all.
The global price of oil has plummeted 31
percent in just five months, a steep and surprising drop after a four-year period of
prices near or above $100 a barrel.
Not long ago a drop of that magnitude
would have hit the environmental community like a gut-punch. The lower the price of
fossil fuels, the argument went, the less
incentive there would be to develop and use
cleaner alternatives like batteries or
advanced biofuels.
But at around $75 a barrel, the price is
high enough to keep investments flowing
into alternatives, while giving energy companies less reason to pursue expensive and
risky oil fields that also pose the greatest
threat to the environment.
Low prices keep the dirty stuff in the
ground, says Ashok Gupta, director of programs at the Natural Resources Defense
Council.
Economists and environmentalists caution that if the price goes too low, and stays
there, consumption could swell and the
search for alternatives could stop.

Players change, coaches endure

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When the Little Big Game week comes

around every year the annual meeting
between the Burlingame and San Mateo
football teams students, fans, players
and alumni wax nostalgically.
Old timers will tell you when the game
was played on Thanksgiving and people
walked to the game. The players who get
one or two opportunities to play in the
game will have high-school highlights
for the rest of their lives.
While the game may be fleeting for players and students who move on after four
years, its a Groundhog Day scenario
every year for coaches. Rivalry week comes
around and its a week of pep rallies, activities and, in coaches eyes, distractions.
Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos,
who will coach in his 13th Little Big Game,
has had it a lot easier than his San Mateo
counterpart, Jeff Scheller, who will be
coaching in his ninth.
Philipopoulos is 11-2 in Little Big
Games. Scheller just 1-7 a 25-20 win in
2009.
While the faces of the players change

every couple years, the coaches have
remained the same for the better part of a
decade.
And thats why the losing weighs harder
on Scheller, not only as a coach, but as the
face of the program.
I think I take it (harder) than maybe other
coaches would, Scheller said. The first
thing is, (I want) to make it a rivalry, make
it a competitive game and I dont know how
many times weve done that in nine years.

Knights top Dons

Hillsdale beats Aragon for the first time since 1991
Gators finish
regular season
a perfect 10-0

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Hillsdale coach Mike Parodi is

not afraid to let his emotions show
following a game. Seeing Parodi
cry is not an uncommon occurrence.
Parodi shed more teams following his teams game against
Aragon in the 53rd annual Battle
of the Fleas Friday night. This
time, however, they were tears of
joy as the Knights did something
no Hillsdale team has done since
1991 beat Aragon.
In a game that went into overtime, it was Eli Kertels extra
point that was the difference in the
Knights 14-13 victory.
Its honestly unbelievable,
said Hillsdales Ro Mahanty, who
scored both Knights touchdowns
one just before halftime and
again in overtime. Eli pulled
through.
Mahanty was an unlikely hero
for the Knights. Although he has
been a standout defensive back
this season, his touches on
offense have been limited this season. But Friday night, he goes
into the annals of Hillsdale lore.
He carried the ball just twice for 29
yards and he caught two passes for
52 yards. None bigger than his 45yard catch and run for a touchdown
on a seam route from quarterback
Brett Wetteland.
Ive been in and out on offense
(this season). Ive made some
plays, Mahanty said. I told them
I wanted the ball (Friday).
Parodi said he had a hard time

Ben Burr-Kirven wrecking ball.

Sacred Heart Preps star senior put on a
superstar performance as the Gators triumphed 35-14 over archrival Menlo School
Friday night at Woodside High School. With
the win, SHP (5-0 in PAL Bay, 10-0 overall)
cements its legacy with an undefeated
record. By virtue of capturing the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division title, the
Gators advance to the Central Coast Section
Open Division playoffs for the first time in
program history.
If you come into a season not thinking
youre going to go undefeated, youre doing
something wrong, Burr-Kirven said.
Were exactly where we want to be. We want
to be in the Open Division, we wanted to be
undefeated, so this is awesome.
Burr-Kirven was spectacular in the final
rivalry game of his illustrious varsity
career. The University of Washington-bound
linebacker came up big on defense, but it
was his offensive prowess that stole the
show, scoring all five of SHPs touchdowns
four by ground and one by air.
The 6-foot, 225-pound Burr-Kirven ran for
a game-high 102 yards on 11 carries. He
also had a 73-yard touchdown reception to
put the Gators on the board in the first half.
Perhaps his most impressive play of the
night, however, came on a fourth-quarter
interception. With SHP already comfortably
ahead 28-7, Menlo went to the air attack.
Knights junior quarterback Austin DAmbra
who completed 20-of-42 passes for 249
yards had senior wide receiver Michael
Reed in his sights on a fly pattern over the
middle for what was sizing up to be a certain
Menlo score.
Then Burr-Kirven intervened.

several yards, but outran the ball to produce

With Menlo No. 1 single Liz Yao featuring her strong, even-keel style, it was easy

Liz Yau, in a rematch of last years Central

game, fell to Mittys No. 1 Catalina Rico 75, 6-4. Meanwhile, Alice Yao defeated
Mittys Alex Ryan 7-5, 6-3.
So, with Menlo clinging to a 3-1 lead in
the overall match, all eyes turned to the No.

Tilney-Volk did not disappoint, persevering
in a grueling comeback victory 4-6, 7-5, 75 to clinch the victory for Menlo.
The win was equally as grueling for Menlo
head coach Bill Shine.

I never felt comfortable until that last
point was over at the No. 2 doubles, Shine
said. Its never over until its really over.

Giants face big challenge against 49ers

By Tom Canavan
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The NFL is

giving the New York Giants a rare chance
for a do-over.
A week after their fourth-quarter debacle in
Seattle, the reeling Giants (3-6) will get a
chance to get things right this time when
they face the San Francisco 49ers on
Sunday.
The color of the jersey may be different,
but Tom Coughlins team should know what
to expect.
The Niners (5-4) feature an option quarterback in Colin Kaepernick, a strong running
back in Frank Gore and one of the NFLs top
defenses.
Its similar to last week when the cast of
characters were Russell Wilson, Marshawn
Lynch and Richard Sherman and company.
New York stayed with Seattle for three
quarters before getting blown out 38-17 in a
game in which Seattle rushed for 350 yards
and had 510 yards in total offense in hand-
ing New York its fourth straight loss.

San Francisco comes east off a big win in
New Orleans, when it rallied to tie the game
late and won 27-24 in overtime when its
defense forced a fumble to set up a gamewinning field goal.
It helps to have another opportunity to
line up, Giants defensive end Mathias
Kiwanuka said. Opportunities in this
league are so short, your career is so short,
we want to look at this as an opportunity to
go out there and get a win, and thats the
only thing we are focused on right now.
The Giants are in need of a win. They not
only trail Philadelphia (7-2) and Dallas (73) in the NFC East, they have losses to
Arizona (8-1), Detroit (7-2) and Seattle (63) in the event they finish tied at the end of
the regular season.
We have to go out there and get a win
before we can worry about any playoffs,
Giants safety Antrel Rolle said. To me
right now, if we go to the playoffs, we do; if
we dont, then we dont.
It is just a matter of going out there and
playing with pride and going out there and

showing ourselves more importantly than
anybody else what we are capable of once
we go out there and play football the way we
are taught to play.
San Francisco cant afford a loss either. It
is a game behind Green Bay (6-3) and
Seattle in the playoff hunt.
The Seahawks pounded the Giants with
their running game and the 49ers have the
backs to do the same thing this week.
Its what we want to do, be balanced,
San Francisco wide receiver Anquan Boldin
said. First of all we want to establish the
run. I feel like when we establish the run,
everything builds off that.
Neither coach Jim Harbaugh nor
Kaepernick would say whether the Giants
gain an advantage by playing similar
teams.
We will find out on Sunday, Kaepernick
said.
Here are some other things to watch
Sunday.
Smiths season debut

Ferocious San Francisco linebacker Aldon
Smith spent the first nine games of the season watching games with family or friends
while serving his nine-game suspension for
violations of the NFLs substance-abuse and
personal-conduct policies. He is set to make
his season debut Sunday.
Harbaugh wonders how quickly Smith
might be able to return to his top form and
Coughlin certainly expects to see Smith in
key third-down situations.
The 49ers can use his presence in a week
they lost defensive leader and linebacker

Patrick Willis for the remainder of the season with a toe injury that will require surgery.
Jennings back?
The Giants running game has been dismal the past four weeks with top running
back Rashad Jennings sidelined with a knee
injury. Rookie Andre Williams averaged
less than 3 yards per carry. Jennings seemingly is going to return this week and New
York needs his experience.
O-line
One of the Giants biggest offseason
moves was to sign guard Geoff Schwartz. He
injured a toe in the preseason game against
the Jets and has not played yet. He has been
practicing and may be ready to go Sunday. If
he is, does he return as a starter and who
sits? The likely choice is rookie Weston
Richburg, who has replaced him at left
guard. Schwartz could also replace John
Jerry at right guard or Westurg could move
to center and replace J.D. Walton, with
Schwartz going to left guard.
The Borland kid

The Niners came into the season with a
ton of high-profile linebackers Patrick
Willis, Smith, and NaVorro Bowman. The
guy grabbing the headlines is rookie Chris
Borland. The third-round pick from
Wisconsin has 35 tackles in the past two
games. ... All the players that you acquire
or draft, they have the license and ability to
do great things, and he has done that,
Harbaugh said.

SAN DIEGO Reinforcements have

arrived for the San Diego Chargers, who
also are getting some help from the schedule-makers.
The winless Oakland Raiders (0-9) will be
in town Sunday, when the Chargers (5-4) try
to snap a three-game losing streak, which
included their worst loss in 18 seasons.
Running back Ryan Mathews and inside
linebacker Manti Teo are expected to return
for the Chargers, who also might have linebacker Melvin Ingram back in the lineup.
The trio has been out since September.
The Chargers are taking the infusion with
some perspective. The bulk of their fivegame winning streak came without
Mathews, Teo and Ingram, as did the three
straight losses, which included a lackluster
37-0 defeat at Miami on Nov. 2.
No question it makes us a better football
team, quarterback Philip Rivers said. But
it doesnt guarantee that we are just going to
go out there and play great. But it is certainly nice to have them out there.
The Raiders, meanwhile, havent won in
almost a year. Their previous victory was
against Houston on Nov. 17, 2013.
But they almost beat the Chargers on Oct.
12 before rookies Branden Oliver and Jason
Verrett saved San Diego.
Rookie Derek Carr threw four touchdown
passes that day for the Raiders.
One thing for me is you know their personnel, Carr said. For me as a rookie,
thats always something thats unknown.
You can see something on film, but until
youre really out there playing against
somebody and you see him for the first
time, you dont really know. So thats
something thats really helpful.
Here are some things to watch for when
the Raiders visit the Chargers:
Road to nowhere?
The Raiders are the only winless team in
the NFL and are trying to avoid becoming
just the second to go 0-16 in a season.

Theyre 10-point underdogs against the
Chargers.
To be honest, if you were to come and
just hang out in our locker room or hang out
in our meetings, guys are driven to get better, Carr said. When the effort goes down,
thats bad. The energy level is honestly like
were 9-0. Guys are running around still
striving to do what they can to make this
thing right.
Hopefully it will be sooner than later,
but its going to happen one of these days.
Bolts better be ready

Oakland led by four points late in the
game against the Chargers earlier this year,
until Oliver scored on a 1-yard run with 1:56
left. The Chargers then sealed it with an
interception by Verrett, whos out indefinitely with a shoulder injury that at some
point will require surgery.
I dont pay much attention to the record
any week we play, Rivers said. You watch
it on tape and you know how the game was
when you played them four or five weeks
ago. I dont get caught up in the record.
There is a lot of respect we have for those
guys on the defense. You see every week
teams that ... its the NFL.
Run Ryan run

Mathews finally got through a full season
in 2013, rushing for a career-high 1,255
yards and going to the Pro Bowl. Then he
sprained his right knee during an upset of
the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. He was hurt
after fumbling, when teammate Eddie Royal
landed on him while going for the ball.
I feel great, Mathews said. Ive been
watching from the sideline. I mean, its hard
to watch my teammates, my friends, go out
there and have fun and play the game. Im
just happy to be back out there.

from Mathews. Their running game has

as the teams No. 2 doubles, they worked a little magic Friday after falling behind 4-3 in
third set.
They ultimately battled back to take a 6-5
advantage as Tran ruled the net with a
wicked forehand, consistently threading the
needle between her two opponents. In the
final game, tied 30-30, Tran exacted such a
shot to force match point. She then produced a strong backhand from the backline
to cause a Mitty error to win it.
The win was just the second three-set
match of the year for Tran and Tilney-Volk,
and the first to serve as a clincher. In fact, it
is the first clinching win for Tran in her
three years of varsity tennis.
It gave us the extra push, Tran said. I
like playing in the deciding match.
For Tilney-Volk, it is her first season on
the tennis team. Her first sport is soccer, as
she has served as the varsity goalkeeper for
two previous seasons. Last year she mixed
it up with a stint on the junior-varsity volleyball team in the fall and some lacrosse in
the spring. With tennis in her blood though
her grandmother was a one-time tennis
pro, Tilney-Volk said she decided to give
tennis a try this season.
The environment on this team is awesome, she said.

We both really stepped it up for this

groundstrokes and our serves going and that
helped our mental game, because were a lot

For Mitty, it is the second consecutive
year the team has been eliminated by Menlo
in CCS quarterfinal play. Previous to that,
the Monarchs last won the CCS championship and went on to win the Northern
California championship in 2008. They
advanced to the CCS semifinals every year
thereafter until last season.
Next up, Menlo takes on No. 1-seed
Saratoga at Bay Club Courtside on Monday

a one-handed grab on the run. Not only did

Burr-Kirven snatch a potential scoring play
from Menlos grasp, he turned on a dime and
sprinted 77 yards in the opposite direction,
only to get dragged down at the 8-yard line.
Two plays later, Burr-Kirven punched in
the final SHP score on the night with a 4yard run to cap his five-touchdown performance.
Menlo (1-4, 4-6) actually struck first to
open the game. After taking the opening
kickoff, the Knights marched downfield
with a gritty drive, giving a more direct
look to their run-and-shoot offense.
We changed a lot of things up for this
week to try to get our blocking scheme and
establish a little bit more of a downhill run
game, Menlo head coach Mark Newton
said. We did a great job of that in the first
half.
As dominant as Burr-Kirven was for SHP,
Menlo running back Charlie Roth showed
shades of such dominance both sides of the
ball as well. Roth rushed for 99 yards on 23
carries, including six carries on the opening
drive.
[Roth] has been huge, Menlo senior
Sam Ferguson said. Hes just a real bruiser
and hes a great running back. He really carried the team.
After DAmbra hit Jack Marren for a 17yard completion into the red zone, Roth
punched the ball in with a 1-yard blast to
stake Menlo to a 7-0 lead, capping a 13play, 73-yard scoring drive totaling six
minutes.
But it took SHP just over six seconds to
go 73 yards on the ensuing drive.
The Gators took over deep in their own
territory at the 15-yard line. Three plays
later, quarterback Mason Randall hit BurrKirven on a curl route around the right side
which went for a 73-yard touchdown with a
key downfield block by tight end Andrew
Daschbach to tie the game at 7-7.
The game stayed deadlocked at 7-7 until
Burr-Kirven gave SHP the lead less than

three minutes into the second half with a 1yard dive. After Menlo went three-and-out
on the ensuing drive, it took him just two
minutes to find the end zone again on a 39yard burst through the middle to give the
Gators a 21-7 lead.
After another three-and-out drive by the
Knights, the Gators again marched downfield with Burr-Kirven high-stepping for
gains of 3, 8 and 15 yards before he punctuated a nine-play, 58-yard drive with a 5-yard
dash to find the end zone through traffic,
giving SHP a 28-7 lead.
Following the Gators final score of the
game, Menlo took over with just under two
minutes and produced a swan-song scoring
drive. On fourth down from the Menlo 42yard line, DAmbra fired a clutch 22-yard
pass to Roth to keep the drive alive. Two
plays later, DAmbra at last hit Reed for a
touchdown with an 18-yard strike to cap the
nights scoring.
I think theres been some ups and
downs, Ferguson said. Weve had some
injuries which have been a bummer. The
successes have been fun and weve stuck
together through the losses.
SHPs win marks its third consecutive victory in the annual rivalry game.
Its pretty friendly, Burr-Kirven said of
the rivalry. We all know each other. We
still dont like them, because youve got to
not like your rival, but its not that bad. Its
not like were throwing punches or anything like that. Its pushing and shoving,
but nothing too crazy.

Sports brief
Colombia comes from
behind to beat U.S., 2-1
Teofilo Teo Gutierrez headed in a late goal
as Colombia came from behind to beat the
United States 2-1 in a friendly at Craven
Cottage on Friday.
Wilting under late pressure is becoming all
too familiar for the Americans, who have conceded second-half goals in three consecutive,
winless matches.
Jozy Altidore had put the U.S. in front from
the penalty spot in the 10th minute at
Fulhams west London stadium, having scored
just once for Sunderland this season.
Colombia was the superior side all night but
only managed to equalize in the 61st when
Carlos Bacca, who had been denied a penalty
at the end of the first half, struck the equalizer.
Gutierrez then scored in the 87th minute for
the win.
In a way, youve got to be men. Weve got
to grow up a bit, Altidore said. We didnt
match that intensity in the second half.
The raucous Colombia fans were stunned
when the U.S. scored the first goal. Pablo
Armero handled in the penalty area, and
despite Colombian protests and goalkeeper
Camilo Vargas then diving the correct way,
Altidores spotkick landed in the net.
It was a rare bright moment this season for
the Sunderland striker.
I know about his difficult situation with his
club team, but all we can do is keep our fingers
crossed that he solves it, he scores goals, he
convinces the (Sunderland) coach to start
him, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. We
know when he comes to us he is full of energy.
KNIGHTS
nding spots on offense to put Mahanty
into games this season. But when he needed the senior the most, he came through.
Hes been our defensive stalwart and we
had other guys who were missing, Parodi
said. Ro stepped up.
Hillsdale led 7-0 at halftime, but Aragon
tied the score on its rst possession of the
second half. There were some frantic nal
minutes before the teams settled for overtime.
Aragon got the ball rst and, starting
from the 10-yard line, needed three plays to
get into the end zone when quarterback
Billy Mason raced around the right end and
into the end zone from 4 yards out.
The Dons, however, missed the extra point,
opening the door for Hillsdales rst win
over the Dons since George H.W. Bush was
in the White House that would be the
elder Bush, Ronald Reagans former vice
president.
Hillsdales offense then took the eld.
Starting from the 10, Mahanty took a handoff and gained 8 yards. He got the ball on
the next play as well on a y sweep no
less and bulled his way into the end
zone.
Mahanty didnt know if the rest of his
teammates felt the way he did, but he was
not going to celebrate until that extra point
sailed safely through the uprights.
We still had one more play to make,
Mahanty said.
Kertel did his job, giving the Knights the
win and setting off pandemonium as
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Hillsdale fans stormed the eld in celebration.

Tough game. Theyre good. Im not surprised it went OT. I fully expected this to be
an onside kick game or overtime game, said
Aragon coach Steve Sell. We made some
critical mistakes at critical times.
The biggest mistake the Dons made was
getting agged for holding late in the fourth
quarter, negating a Mason 10-yard touchdown run with under two minutes to play.
That was a big penalty, Sell said.
After the Knights defense stopped Aragon
at 14, they looked poised to win the game in
regulation. On rst down, they executed a
perfect double reverse, with Tyler Gonzales
gaining 41 yards on the play to the Dons
45. Two plays later, however, Aragons Chad
Franquez intercepted a pass to force overtime.
Defense ruled the rst half as neither team
could muster much offensively over the rst
two quarters. Twice in the rst half, Aragon
drove deep into Hillsdale territory, only to
come away empty.
Hillsdale did not have that much success
until its nal drive of the rst half. Starting
at their own 28, the Knights drove 72 yards
on seven plays. They converted a fourth-and4 from the Aragon 45, with Wetteland hooking up with Gonzales for a 10-yard gain.
The Knights appeared to shoot themselves
in the foot when they were called for a holding penalty that pushed them back to the
Dons 45, but on the next play, Wetteland
found Mahanty in the seam over the middle.
Mahanty caught the 15-yard pass, turned on
the jets and ran away from the Aragon defense
for a 45-yard score and a 7-0 lead at halftime.
After Hillsdale failed to convert a 26-yard
eld goal on the rst drive of the third quarter, the Dons nally capitalized. Going
almost exclusively to their ground attack,

the Dons methodically drove 80 yards on 12
plays, taking more than ve-and-a-half minutes off the clock. V.A. Wilson, who rushed
for a game-high 125 yards on 24 carries,
bulled his way into the end zone from 11
yards out to tie the score at 7.
Again, the Dons had their chances. They
looked to be headed toward the go-ahead
touchdown, but fumbled the ball away at the
Hillsdale 13-yard line with 6:51 to play.
The Aragon defense stood tall and forced
Hillsdale to punt, taking over at the Knights
35-yard line with ve minutes to play. The
holding penalty on Masons apparent touchdown thwarted another Aragon scoring drive.
If you dont cash in on your opportunities, youre not going to win this game,
Sell said.
How evenly matched was this game?
Hillsdale generated 295 yards of total
offense. Aragon, 290.
Our defense has been phenomenal all
year. Our defense is second to none, Parodi
said. I would take our defense against most
teams right now.
Wetteland completed 13 of 25 passes for
167 yards and a touchdown, while Gonzales
caught ve passes for 50 yards and added a
41-yard run for 91 yards of total offense.
Kono Filimoehala-Egan caught ve passes
for 66 yards to lead Aragons aerial attack,
but of the Dons 290 yards of offense, 205
came on the ground.
Im not going to remember this (Aragon)
group for losing the streak. Im going to
remember it as the team that went 9-1 and
won the Ocean Division title, Sell said. It
was a matter of time (before Hillsdale beat
us).
RAIDERS
times in the first five games.

Weve got to really get our four-man rush
going. Thats got to be the key to a lot of
success, is not having to manufacture pressure all the time, defensive coordinator
John Pagano said.
The Chargers have three weeks to add
Ingram to the active roster. Hes been on
injured reserve/designated for return with a
hip injury.

play by the line.
The Chargers will have to find out how
much of a workload Mathews is ready to
take. He returned to practice during the bye
week.
Hes brought fresh legs, energy, in his
quiet way, offensive coordinator Frank
Reich said. He brings a strength and toughness and certainly his presence out there has
been felt and were looking forward to him
being on the field on Sunday.
No rush hour
The Chargers pass rush has virtually disappeared, with only three sacks in the past
four games none in the past two after

Plummeting Philip
Rivers went five straight games of posting a passer rating of 123.8 or better,
including two games of 130 or better.
Then came the three-game losing streak
and he failed to crack 100 in any of the losses.
The meltdown in Miami was one of his
worst games with the Bolts. He was 12 of 23
for 138 yards and no touchdowns, with three
interceptions, for a rating of 31.

El Camino at South City, 2 p.m. Saturday
The 56th Battle of the Strip
This rivalry began in 1962. South City

leads the series 41-9. El Camino last won
in 2003, 22-12. The Colts corralled their
first Lake Division win last week, 20-0 over
Mills. The Warriors were beaten 25-17

threw that pass to Ho. They immediately
began dissecting the game three years later.
I was reflecting back on the eight [Little
Big Games] Ive been in. Ive seen it all,
Scheller said. Weve won one, Ive seen us
have the lead and Burlingame take it over.
Ive seen a lot of different versions of
it.
In the end, that may be what keeps the
game fresh for coaches like Philipopoulos
and Scheller. They get to experience every
year what many players get only one or two
chances to experience in their lifetimes.
It never gets old, Scheller said. Its a
historic event.
Unfortunately for Scheller and the
Bearcats, Burlingame comes into the regular-season finale as a decided favorite. The
Panthers are 8-1 on the season with their
only loss coming last week against
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
champion Sacred Heart Prep. They are averaging 34 points scored and allowing less
than 20. Burlingame features one of the
best two-way players on the Peninsula in
Griffin Intrieri, who is 12 yards shy of the
1,000 yards rushing and has also picked off
five passes from his cornerback position.

Then there is the teacher who asked one of
the Bearcats players if this was the year

They have been a teacher here for 20
years and theyve only seen it happen

No matter how blas Scheller may get
about the yearly pomp and pageantry the
Little Big Game generates, get him talking
about the Little Big Games hes coached in
and the memories come flooding back.
2009, of course, stands out as his
favorite, when John Niupalau caught the
game-winning touchdown with 42 seconds

victory.
With the good comes the bad, however. In
2011, Andrew Ho was in position to make
the game-winning catch, only to see the
ball slip through his grasp.
Scheller said he was talking with Ho the
other day about that game. Ho told him he

No bail for Oregon college
athlete in mans death
PORTLAND, Ore. An Oregon college
football player charged with killing a 66year-old man was being held without bail
Friday following a court appearance that
shed no light on the circumstances of the
alleged crime, which has shocked and baffled many in his school and hometown.
Beau Wesley Smith, 21, of Willamette
University in Salem, did not enter a plea or
say anything at Thursdays hearing.
Police arrested the senior chemistry major
Wednesday, about a half-mile from where
Michael Hampshires body was found at
3:40 a.m.
An autopsy showed the retired airplane
mechanic died of blunt-force injuries to the
head, according to the Oregon State Medical
Examiners Office. Police and prosecutors
have yet to divulge the alleged chain of
events, or say if a weapon was used.
It does not appear that Hampshire and
Smith knew each other, said Doug Hanson, a
deputy district attorney.

Perfect fall
By Lou Kesten
By Emily Shen
heres something about New

England that makes fall extra special. Maybe its the idyllic landscape: the picturesque trees and the brightly
colored leaves that fall
in droves. Maybe its the
historical context: the
origination of American
thanksgiving at
Plymouth Bay back in
the 17th century.
My classmates and I
had the opportunity to
experience a little bit of
this famous New England autumn on a
school trip to D.C. last weekend. We
breathed in the crisp fall air as we shuffled
through piles of leaves pasted to sidewalks.
We were warmed by apple cider as we waited
at the Metro station on a cold, windy
night. We complained about the cold, but
knew that it was a small price to pay.
I feel like this is home, said one of my
friends wistfully. Others talked of coming
back, or of never leaving. I was one of
them. Why couldnt California be like this?
Why couldnt our fall be this perfect?
It was pretty disappointing to return to
the weather I was used to when I came
home: cloudy, dark gray skies that made me
feel tired instead of revitalized, and cold,
stony evergreens instead of merry maples.
But I also came home to my sisters
birthday. I came home to homemade blueberry pie and nights of studying made better by cups of hot chocolate, and I came
home to my brothers stash of Halloween
candy. Maybe fall is only better in New
England for New Englanders. Maybe fall is
marked by more things than the change in
weather.
I know that we like to think of fall as
defined by a few basic things, weather
being one of them. Fall typically conjures
up an image of falling leaves, of Halloween
and Thanksgiving, of pie and pumpkin
spice lattes. But when I think of what fall
means to me, it goes beyond that.
Among other things, fall is the time
when my favorite artist releases a new
album, every other year without fault. Fall
is the time when most of my family and
One of my favorite activities in the

Assassins Creed games is diving off the
top of a tall building into a conveniently
placed haystack. Ive done it hundreds
of times over the franchises sevenyear run, but until now Ive never
gotten stuck in the hay.
No big deal, nothing that cant be
overcome by rebooting the game.
But its just one of the dozens of
glitches I encountered while playing
Assassins Creed Unity (Ubisoft,
for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC,
$59.99). Im talking about characters getting trapped inside walls,
having their legs cut off or left floating in space so much unintentional comedy that players have
been flooding YouTube with videos
of their ghastly discoveries.
Many of these glitches are likely to be fixed, but their sheer
abundance points to a larger problem with Assassins Creed.
Ubisoft has been releasing these
games annually since 2009, and
it feels like exhaustion has set
in.
For the uninitiated: The AC
saga tells of a centuries-long
rivalry between two cultish brotherhoods, the Assassins and the
Templars. So far, weve visited 12thcentury Jerusalem, Renaissance Italy,
colonial America and the 18th-century
Caribbean.
Unity brings the action to Paris in the 1790s, with the French
Revolution brewing. Arno Dorian is a dashing young Frenchman seeking
vengeance for the murder of his adoptive father. Arnos quest leads him to
an alliance with the Assassins, which causes some headaches since Arnos
love interest, Elise, is a Templar through and through.
The chaotic times are convincingly drawn the Parisian crowds seem
like theyre ready to erupt in rage at any second. Troublemakers like
Napoleon Bonaparte, Maximilien de Robespierre and the Marquis de Sade
make cameo appearances, and theres an exhilarating balloon race courtesy
of the Montgolfier brothers.
Like his Assassin ancestors, Arno is a spectacularly agile creature with
the ability to clamber up the sides of tall buildings and leap across
rooftops. Such proto-parkour is always amusing, and its even more
thrilling to scale landmarks like the Bastille and the Cathedral of Notre
Dame.
Arnos primary weapon is his sword, and the swordplay here is as nimble
as ever. Unity also equips Arno with an effective phantom blade, which

a gentle, unassuming smile, Elwood is a 37year-old bachelor who lives in the family

He seems normal in every way with one

When Elwood enters a room, he holds the

Stewart displays sure hand in Rosewater

By Jocelyn Noveck
You can take the man away from the

humor. But you clearly cant always take the
humor from the man.
This gratifying principle proves true
both for the Iranian-born Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari, who was imprisoned for
118 days in Tehran and accused of being a
spy, and of Jon Stewart, who captures
Baharis harrowing tale in Rosewater, a
clear-headed, sensitive and thoroughly
impressive directorial debut for the Comedy
Central host.
Bahari and Stewart, its clear, share a
sense that humor has a place even in the
darkest circumstances that it can soothe
and even salvage the human spirit. And
thus, in the bleak dankness of a prison cell,
were confronted with a truly laugh-out-loud
vision of New Jersey Stewarts muchmaligned home state as the prisoner
entices his interrogator with a view of the
Garden State as a sort of sex-paradise-onearth, where young women give erotic massages all day, and pleasure reaches such
heights, it can even kill a man.

That could easily be a skit on The Daily
Show, but the fact that Baharis
Revolutionary Guard interrogator a man
he knew as Rosewater for the scent of his
cologne truly was bizarrely obsessed
with New Jersey is one of the many stunning elements of the journalists story,
which began when he left his London home
in 2009 for what he thought was a brief
reporting trip for Newsweek.
That years presidential vote pitted hardline incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
against reformist candidate Mir Hossein
Mousavi, and when Ahmadinejad won, hundreds of thousands of Iranians rose up in
protest. Bahari, whod stayed on for more
reporting, was arrested and accused of being
a spy for the CIA, the Mossad, and various others. The evidence included a clip of
him being interviewed in a Daily Show
skit with comedian Jason Jones.
In bringing Baharis memoir, Then They
Came For Me, to cinematic life, one of
Stewarts best choices was to cast the wonderfully expressive Gael Garcia Bernal. As
Bahari, the Mexican star manages a potent
mix of determination and sensitivity,

courage and yet clear vulnerability and
increasing fear, all tempered with impishness, too. (Check out his blissful, solitary
dance to a Leonard Cohen song.)
As the films script, written by Stewart,
makes clear, much of the torture to which
Bahari was subjected was psychological.
Worse than the beatings was the fact of
never knowing how long the ordeal would
last, or whether it would ever indeed end.
As Rosewater, the excellent Danish actor
Kim Bodnia avoids easy caricature in his
portrayal of a man whose career depends on

getting that confession. Theres a very brief
reference to Rosewaters life outside the
notorious Evin prison a phone call in
which he assures a loved one that everything will be different after this case. We
could have used a bit more exposition on
that plot point.
But understandably, Stewart wants to keep
the action, and our focus, securely within
the frightening walls of Evin, along with

Homesman reverses the Westerns course

By Jake Coyle
Theres been some trouble about the

women hereabouts, says John
Lithgows plains preacher in Tommy
Lee Jones The Homesman.
The hereabouts is a tiny, hardscrabble settlement in the Nebraska
Territory, sometime around 1860. On
the desolate prairie, a handful of hardened settlers try to eek something out
of the dry land. Going West never
looked like more a questionable decision.
The directional movement of The
Homesman, however, is east. When
three of the towns women (Miranda
Otto, Grace Gummer and Sonja Richter)
lose their minds, its decided that they
must be taken to a church in Iowa,
across the Missouri River. Each driven
mad one by child-killing diphtheria,
another by the constant rape of a cruel
husband, all by the acrid isolation
theyre the seldom seen victims of the
male pioneers usually glorified in
Westerns, collateral damage to an illconceived Manifest Destiny.
The towns men (Jesse Plemons,
William Fitchner, David Dencik) arent
up for the monthlong journey by
wagon, so the task falls on the sturdiest resident, Mary Bee Cutty (Hilary
Swank). She lives uncommonly
alone, she says, with a twinge of
shame, fastidiously running her farmstead. When she proposes to a potential mate, the dimwitted man turns her
down, saying hell go back east for a
wife, and besides, shes too plain and
too bossy.
But the dutiful, Christian, upholderof-decency Mary Bee is, as the minister
says, as good a man as any. The carpenter who crafts the jail-like cell,
abundantly fitted with chains to hold
the women, tells her: People like to
talk about death and taxes, but when it
The Homesman is a Western parable, told with handsome John Ford classicism,

comes to crazy, they stay hushed up.
The Homesman, surely, is about
citizenship. Its a Western parable, told
with handsome John Ford classicism,
about how we care for our ill, our mad
and our dead. Into the Westerns traditional sweeping grandeur creep the discordant notes of Marco Beltramis
score.
Mary Bees companion is certainly
no upstanding citizen. She takes on a
man set to be hung for squatting on
another mans ranch: George Briggs
(Jones). At least thats the name he,

Our first encounter with him is as hes
smoked out of a cabin, his face cartoonishly black from an explosion,

Its an entrance that doesnt jibe with
the rest of the film, but, then again,
Jones seems to thrive on an unbalanced, mordant tragicomedy. His good
first film, The Three Burials of
Melquiades Estrada, set up as a confrontation between a Mexico border

patrolman and a rancher bent on burying his friend in Mexico before the
patrolman had enough and went off to
Disneyland. The movie, freed of its
schematic plot, went somewhere else,
somewhere deeper.
In The Homesman, Mary Bee and
Briggs travel across the plains, a pious
spinster and an ornery rascal towing
madness across the dangerous open
range.
Jones, a devoted fan of Cormac
McCarthy (whom he adapted for the
HBO film The Sunset Limited), takes
after the novelists pursuit of bleak,
merciless poetry down North American
pathways. In The Homesman, adapted from a late novel by the Arizona
writer Glendon Swarthout, the melancholic balance isnt always quite right
and the momentum wanes when it
should be gaining.

Bennett Miller hunts down Foxcatcher

By Jake Coyle
ated the distorted effect of peering through old, warped glass,

since capturing the real thing
would have meant moving the
camera.
NEW YORK Over a plate of

pasta, Bennett Miller is trying to
explain how a movie goes from
an idea to an actual thing.
When you get hooked onto
something like the notion of
Foxcatcher, for me, there is a
very strong, specific feeling
about the soul of this film, in the
same way you might know a person or that you might know a
film that exists, to have that
sense of WHAT IT IS, says
Miller. But its still not a material thing yet, and how to realize
that thing, how that soul gets
incarnated is the process.
Its like, I had a glimpse of
Big Foot, and now lets go track
him.
For nearly seven years, Miller
hunted his latest film, a modern
Greek tragedy based on the true
tale of two Olympic wrestlers,
Mark
and
Dave
Schultz
(Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo),
taken in by a wealthy benefactor,
John DuPont (Steve Carell). The
project died at least once. Miller
was at one point sued by the original production company. And
after Foxcatcher did finally
come together, thanks to its own
wealthy patron (producer Megan
Ellison) Miller took a year to
edit.
Speed, you might say, is not
one of Millers attributes.
But Miller, 47, is doggedly
determined (I never thought it
wouldnt happen, he says of
Foxcatcher), and when he
picks up on the scent of a film,
his pursuit is steady and deliberate. Foxcatcher, for which
Miller won best director at
Cannes, is a sensational tabloid
story that Miller first learned
about from a newspaper clipping, but crafted with a solemn
disaffection and heavy themes of
America.
Carell, who was layered with
makeup and a prosthetic nose for
the role, recalls his first meeting
with Miller:
He painted a picture of the
movie that was vivid, that was
incredibly detailed even at that
early stage, says the actor.
Years later when I saw it for the
first time, it was exactly as he
described it to me.
Filmmaking is by its nature an
accumulation of details, a synthesis of a million decisions. But
few directors combine such
obsessive meticulousness with a
desire to let a film grow organically.
Its like he constructs this
great Olympic-size pool with an
But Miller relishes such refining, particularly during editing,

where he feels a film is really
made.
I love that kind of pain, he
says. I really feel in my element
in the edit. It can be excruciating, but its the most rewarding.
Thats when it really comes
alive. For better or for worse, its
my nature to be in that room,
toiling.
If you dont know the story, watch Bennett Millers brooding, gloomy yet altogether riveting Foxcatcher without
foreknowledge of the shocking end.
Trio of top actors shines in Foxcatcher

By Jocelyn Noveck
Lets start with a plea.

You may already know the
story of the Schultz brothers,
Dave and Mark, both gold-medal
Olympic wrestlers, and their
stormy relationship with their
wrestling-obsessed benefactor,
John DuPont. If you dont, its
only a click away on Wikipedia.
But heres that plea do not
click! Sit on your hands. And
watch Bennett Millers brooding,
gloomy yet altogether riveting
Foxcatcher without foreknowledge of the shocking end.
Theres another shock we can
freely discuss, though, and thats
the physical transformation of
Steve Carell, doing some of his
best career work here as the disturbingly eccentric DuPont, bearing a nose that renders him
almost unrecognizable (though
eerily similar to the real DuPont.)
Yet even more than his face, its
Carells voice high, tinny, and
frighteningly odd that lingers
in our heads after the credits roll.
Though ultimately a three-person tragedy, Foxcatcher begins
as the story of one: Mark
Schultz, the younger, brawnier
brother, thoroughly embodied by
Channing Tatum in a thrillingly
physical performance. A couple
years after his 1984 gold medal
in Los Angeles, Mark is down on
his luck, eating instant Ramen
noodles at night and living on
$20 gigs showing his medal to
schoolkids.
Suddenly a call comes from
incredible diving board, says
Dan Futterman, a longtime friend
of Millers who wrote Millers
2005 breakthrough, Capote,
and co-wrote Foxcatcher. But
Foxcatcher Farm, the sprawling

Pennsylvania estate where
DuPont, heir to the storied gunpowder (and later, chemical) fortune, lives with his elderly mother (the formidable Vanessa
Redgrave, making the most of a
few lines and some supremely icy
looks). Mark is whisked by helicopter into a lifestyle he cant
refuse: being coached and owned,
essentially, by DuPont.
Their first meeting, in a luxurious paneled library, is beautifully
captured by Miller and screenwriters Dan Futterman and E. Max
Frye: A painfully uncomfortable,
inarticulate Schultz listens as
DuPont utters staccato bursts of
mumbo jumbo. Im a wrestling
coach. Im an ornithologist.
Im a patriot. To Mark, it
means one thing: A place to live
and train. DuPont also wants the
older Schultz, but the sunnier,
more stable Dave (a vital and
appealing Mark Ruffalo) is settled with a wife and two kids, and
has no intention of moving. You
cant buy Dave, Mark explains.
At first, things go well. Mark
leads a hand-picked team at
Foxcatcher, with dreams of
Olympic glory in Seoul in 1988.
He accompanies DuPont to lavish
events and speaks of him as a
father.
But DuPont proves highly
erratic, veering from gestures of
generosity to fits of venom. He
shoots bullets into the ceiling of
the wrestling gym. He purchases
a military tank complete with
machine gun. He plies Mark with
cocaine, and lures him to private
wrestling bouts, just the two of

them, in the middle of the night.
As Mark flounders, Dave agrees
to come on board; even the solid
brother, it appears, can be had for
a price. Mark seethes with jealousy, but needs his brother badly.
Dejected and overweight at
Olympic trials, he destroys his
hotel room in a tantrum, then
almost destroys his body in a
massive binge on room-service
food. Only Dave can get him
back on track.
Miller, who illustrated the
highs and lows of baseball so
well in Moneyball, is equally
adept at portraying the peculiarities of wrestling here, and how
those physical moves beautifully choreographed and executed
sync with deeper psychological currents.
If you know from news
accounts how things went for the
Schultzes at Seoul and beyond
how terribly low it all sank
then youll be prepared for the
stunning climax here. If you
dont, so much the better. A meditation on the corruptive force of
money, a glimpse at the intoxication of sports, and just a really
twisted
real-life
yarn,
Foxcatcher ends in a snowy
Pennsylvania winter. But the
chill sets in a whole lot sooner
than that.
Foxcatcher, a Sony Pictures
Classics release, is rated R by the
Motion Picture Association of
America for some drug use and a
scene of violence. Running

then he wants to walk out there

with the actors and jump off.
Its a way of working that has
meant many nights of painstaking labor, subtly molding a film
through sound design and

observed moments. To get a
fleeting shot from the perspective inside DuPonts mansion,
for example, Miller digitally cre-
But Millers mix of tight and

loose control has made him one
of the most sure-handed directors
of actors. When Carell is nominated for an Oscar for his remarkable transformation (as well as
possibly Ruffalo and, in a longer
shot, maybe Tatum), it will make
Miller three-for-three in shepherding Academy Award-nominated performances to the big
screen.
Capote, a film that also took
Miller years to get made, yielded
an Oscar for Philip Seymour
Hoffman (a friend of Millers
from high school) and a nomination for Catherine Keener. The
2011 baseball film Moneyball
brought nods for Brad Pitt and
Jonah Hill.
He understands tonality so
well, says Carell. Just a very
precise cut-away or lingering on
a shot for another beat or two.
Hes very conscious of how that
can affect things before and
things after. He built this house
of cards and its very precise and
its very intricate. I think thats
why hes so good.
Before Miller arrives for lunch
at an Italian restaurant near his
Manhattan apartment and which
bears his picture on the celebrity-covered walls, owner Emilio
Ballato promises: Hell be here.
Hes always here on time. When
Miller arrives three minutes late,
he apologizes sincerely for his
tardiness.
Miller speaks a little like his
movies, shaping his answers,
searching for them and pausing
for silence. For a filmmaker who

THE DAILY JOURNAL
With Rosewater, Jon Stewart makes a movie

By Jake Coyle
NEW YORK A bleary-eyed Jon

Stewart is sitting outside his offices
reflecting on his directorial debut,
Rosewater, a drama about the unjust
imprisonment of journalist Maziar Bahari
in Iran.
Its the morning after The Daily Show
broadcast live for the midterm elections,
including a sketch that reported from the
campaign headquarters of the nights big
winner Money, as played by a hard-partying Rob Riggle and the desolate base
of the nights loser, Ideas.
Humor, Stewart says, is an amoeba-like
substance that can grow in even the
harshest of conditions, like life at the bottom of the ocean.
It may be grotesque and absurd life. It
may be a fish with a crab growing out of
its head that lights up like a Lite-Brite,
says Stewart. But its there.
For 16 years on The Daily Show,
Stewart has found comedy by wading
through the muck of TV news, partisan
politics and some horrific current events.
Rosewater may seem like a story far
afield from the satire practiced on the The
Daily Show, but Stewart was drawn to the
true tale by Baharis levity in recounting
his 118 days imprisoned and tortured after
reporting on Irans 2009 elections.
In his memoir, Then They Came for
Me, Bahari (played by Gael Garcia Bernal
in the film) relates an uncommon sympathy for his interrogator, recognizing the

us how quickly a prisoner can forget that he

Iran. (The footage was later treated as evidence that Bahari was a spy.) After Bahari
was released, a friendship developed
between him and Stewart.
Stewart offered to help Bahari get his
book adapted into a film, but when four
months went by without interest, an impatient Stewart wrote the script himself. He
would meet Bahari at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast to go over notes, and write in the
evening after taping The Daily Show
and putting his two kids to bed.
I basically did what we do here: I threw
a bunch of cards up on the board and I
structured it, says Stewart of his first stab
at screenwriting.
Stewart shot the film last summer in
Jordan while on hiatus from The Daily
Show. In extreme heat, working with a
largely international cast and with a small
budget, the novice director summoned naturalistic performances from his actors.
Once youve survived doing stand-up at
a Fuddruckers outside of Rochester, Jordan
is much more luxurious, says Stewart.
Returning to The Daily Show, he
moved the films editor into a coat room at
the shows offices. In between work on the
show, he ran and up and down floors to
sneak in editing sessions.
There were definitely moments where I
thought, OK, you always wondered just
how far you can push this. Well, now you
know, says Stewart.
But the results are impressive, particularly for a first-time filmmaker. Stewart,
said The New York Times, turns out to be
a real filmmaker.
absurdity of an authoritative regime that

would so desperately fear his opinions. In
a film about preserving ones sanity in an
insane system, the moment of triumph is a
joyful, overflowing laugh.
Its a process that I need to use for
myself, says Stewart. Thats the way I
process events.
Rosewater is a subtle mission statement of Stewarts worldview, one where
humor is an essential tool for disarming
the powerful, for claiming ones humanity.

Certainty is the enemy of humor, says
Stewart. Authoritative regimes are nothing if not certain and dogmatic. One of the
things about (The Daily Show) is a lack
of certainty. It really is confusion being
worked out through whatever silliness
weve thrown out there.
Stewart was connected to Bahari because
he appeared in a segment by Daily Show
correspondent Jason Jones, filmed in
is, well, not forgotten. Many in the West,

of course, are agitating for Baharis release,
including his pregnant wife in London, but
he doesnt know this for a long time; hes
reduced to imaginary conversations with
his father and sister, both of whom were
imprisoned by different Iranian regimes.
We know all along that Bahari was even-
tually released, but to his credit, Stewart

keeps the tension taut throughout. His
many fans know that hes a true master at
the nightly half hour of barbed comedy that
leaves no one safe. Now those same fans
can know that Stewart aint too shabby at
serious filmmaking and that his summerlong hiatus from The Daily Show last year
resulted in something truly worthwhile

indeed.
Rosewater, an Open Road Films release,
is rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for language including some
crude references, and violent content.

Ismael is also charged with conspiracy to
bring controlled substances into the jail
and furnishing them to in-custody inmates.
This is public corruption. This is putting a cellphone in the hand of a gangmember who could possibly use it to direct gang
activity, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Each were arrested on $100,000 warrants
and have since posted bail. Ismael, booked
into the same Maguire Correctional
Facility in Redwood City where he is
accused of smuggling contraband, appeared
in court Friday afternoon and delayed a plea
until Dec. 2.
The charges carry up to 10 years in
prison.
Del Carlo, arrested in San Jose, was
booked into the Santa Clara County Jail
and Lopez, arrested in Newark, was booked
into Santa Rita Jail. Lopez is scheduled to
appear in San Mateo County Superior Court
Dec. 16 and the date for Del Carlo was not
available.
The arrests were the culmination of a 10month investigation by the District

Attorneys Office prompted by both a tip
from within the jail and, according to
Sheriff Greg Munks, finding a cellphone
during an inmate cell search. Munks said
his office turned the investigation over to
Wagstaffes office when it became apparent
Lopez was interested in running for sheriff.
We decided we should turn it over to the
DA to keep impartiality and make sure there
are no allegations we were going after
him, Munks said.
David Washington, Lopezs attorney,
said his client definitely thinks the arrest
and charges are retaliatory. Lopez did not
know about any smuggling in the jail but
simply knows the other two men involved
through work, Washington said.
Lopez is a 26-year employee with the
Sheriffs Office, most recently assigned to
drive prisoners to medical appointments.
Ismael has 15 years of service as a correctional office and Del Carlo has 19 years.
Lopez ran as a write-in candidate for sheriff against the incumbent Munks in the
June primary because he said he narrowly
missed the 5 p.m. deadline to submit his
paperwork to the Elections Office. Lopez

them and get them into his car, police said.
Officers received two reports this week of a suspicious
person outside San Mateo High School at 8 a.m. on Monday
and 9 a.m. on Nov. 6.
In both cases, a man inside a car called out to female students and tried to ask them questions, police said. In one of
the cases, the man urged the student to get inside his car.
Police responded to a third report of a suspicious man who
solicited a 19-year-old female student at the San Mateo Adult
School on Thursday, but said that incident was likely not
related to the previous reports. Police are, however, investigating the possibility Thursdays suspect is connected to
a South San Francisco incident on Nov. 8. In that incident,
a man approached a 2-year-old girl at Costco on 1600 El
Camino Real, patted her head and said come over here
while making a circular motion with his hand. The man left
when he noticed the girls mother nearby. He is described as
Asian, in his 40s, with a mustache and between 5 feet 5
inches and 5 feet 7 inches.
Police said an investigation into the third report would
continue and are planning to release a forensic sketch of the
suspect in the coming days.
The successful conclusion of this investigation is
indicative of the strong collaborative efforts of the San
Mateo Police Department, the San Mateo Union High
School District and the San Mateo-Foster City School
District, police said in a statement. (San Mateo police)
would also like to thank the quick response by local media
outlets to publicize this case in a timely manner to educate
the public and help us ensure the safety of our schools.
Lopez told the Daily Journal he was running because it was time to take this
agency in a different direction and be proactive instead of reactive to a lot of different
issues.
He also said the department needed more
staffing to curb overtime of which he was
the biggest collector.
Washington said he was surprised to hear
of the actual charges against Lopez.
I know that some other things were
being investigated and we were handling
that and all of a sudden I learn he is being
arrested and they told me it was something
far more serious, Washington said.
Washington said those other things were
campaign fraud, mortgage fraud and questions of his clients residency while running for office.
Washington said Lopez does live in
Redwood City but was in Newark at the time
of his arrest because he owns a home there
where his two adult children live.
Wagstaffe confirmed other probes but
declined details.

of activity related to Deputy Lopez and

WEEKEND JOURNAL
PAMF
far from the more clinical atmosphere
some may associate with clinics.
The healing environment should not
give patients the sense they are sick,
said Dr. Ali Shafaie.
The 192,000-square-foot outpatient
medical center visible from Highway
101 includes an urgent care center, an
outpatient surgery center, laboratory
and digital imaging services but at first
glance resembles more a high-end
hotel. The design reflects nature from
the drought-resistance living roof to the
recycled materials and photographs of
local sites that adorn walls. The public
art sculpture Three Gates stands outside the main entrance. A wooden bench
made from a single tree snakes through
the glass-walled bridge between the
lobby and the urgent care clinic.
Visitors will be greeted by volunteers
and can navigate using signs or a smartphone application they download. The
same application allows patients to
even check wait times.
Patient comfort is key from the MRI
room where colored lighting can be
changed by preference and changing
areas for procedures have dim light and
modesty curtains. Patient rooms slide
open rather than swing to better accommodate wheelchairs.
The $230 million San Carlos Center
includes an urgent care clinic and will
initially house 75 physicians and 220
medical support staff but Shafaie said it
has room for up to 120 doctors. PAMF
officials anticipate 140,000 patient
visits the first year alone. While a range
of services will be available, the center
will specialize in orthopedics.
The size of the facility may mislead
some into thinking the center is a hospital, Shafaie said.
And plans for a future 94-bed hospital
adjacent to the center do exist but even
then Shafaie said the focus will be on
performing as much care on an outpatient basis as possible. The new facility
will perform some procedures that previously were only done in a hospital,
such as endoscopic ultrasound, and
brings others like CT scans and other
imaging all under one roof.
Its like one-stop shopping, said
orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andrew Haskell.
Doing so not only makes the delivery
SOWARD
Wildlife Foundation states.
Theyre like the forgotten animal
for the rest of the world, she said.
My grandma calls them rhinosaurs
because they look like they dont
of care more efficient but also saves

patients from traveling to multiple
facilities or down to the Palo Alto campus, Shafaie said.
Shafaie previously worked at the
PAMF clinic in Redwood Shores which,
along with a Redwood City location, are
now shuttered and moved to San Carlos.
Shafaie called the move bittersweet for
the staff there because they were truly a
family delivering care in a quaint clinic but said everybody is also excited to
settle into the bigger, more modern center.
On Friday, employees unpacked
boxes and set up equipment. Computers
were tested and inside pre-op rooms
carefully folded gowns and plastic
wrapped devices lay waiting for patients
on never before used tables. The new
center is a chance to make it their own
from the get-go, said nurse Melody
States, executive director of ambulatory
surgery centers throughout PAMF.
Its like giving birth to a new surgery
center baby, she said while standing in
a cheerfully painted staff lounge.
That baby was a long time coming.
Public planning process

The plan for a new medical center
began a dozen years ago and went
through several tweaks over a four-year
span to appeal to San Carlos officials
and residents worried about potential
traffic snarls and an oversaturation of
medical options in the area. The original plan by PAMF for San Carlos was a
$550 million complex involving a
110-bed hospital, outpatient clinic
and medical offices and 1,000-space
parking garage. In 2007, the blueprint
dropped to a 91-bed hospital with 120
on-site doctors which, along with a
50-year financial agreement with the
city, led to its approval. The goal was
completion in 2012, however in
March 2009, Sutter Health put several
capital projects including the San
Carlos Center on hold because of the
economy.
In November 2010, the Sutter Health
Board of Directors gave the green light
to start again. Some cleanup efforts of
the site home of a former microwave
tube manufacturer were done even as
the project was paused but more work
began in January 2011 on the 18.1acre parcel. That April, the project got
the final go-ahead when the state water
board found the environmental remediation requirements properly met and a
month later, the project broke ground.
belong. The good news is over last
few years people are starting to realize and care more. I think theyre
beautiful and my art lets people see
the beauty I see in them too.
Soward got a chance to see rhinos
in the wild firsthand when she traveled to Kenya on a safari trip. Shes
also seen them in wildlife parks.
It was cool to see them in their
natural environment, she said.
Becoming a reality
David Jury, PAMFS vice president of
business planning and development,
said he never doubted the center would
become a reality but even after having
built several such facilities noted its
still exciting. Watching the first
patients trickle in Monday, Jury said he
wouldnt be surprised to get a little emotional.
The facility already has 50 appointments scheduled for its first week,
Shafaie said.
Those patients and other visitors
neednt worry about parking. The center
includes a 1,115-stall garage, made that
big to accommodate both the existing
centers needs and that of the future hospital. Other design elements were also
made with the hospital in mind, such as
a corner where a connector will bridge
the two buildings, and the eventual
removal of the two operating rooms
from the outpatient center. Food service
was always expected to be in the hospital so a vending area was added to the
center. The location of departments is
also predicated on how the hospital was
originally envisioned. For example, the
intensive care unit was to be on the third
floor of the hospital so pulmonary care
was situated on a corresponding floor in
the center.
Individual offices are also a thing of
the past. Instead, open desks and work
areas more closely resemble a tech company.
Medical is changing quite a bit and
moving more to a team approach,
Shafaie said.
The open space is meant to foster collaboration and break down any hierarchy. Conversations requiring privacy
can be held behind doors in team rooms.
As employees scrambled Friday with
final moving and setup preparations,
Shafaie said the years of work was worth
it.
Its finally here, he said.
But there might be one thing left to
do.
Shafaie said one physician joked that
the center is so nice he will need to get a
new wardrobe to work there.
A grand opening celebration is 1
p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22 at the
