Students to study sea level rise


San Mateo County funds would promote environmental education program
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Some San Mateo County high


school students will dive into
exploring the potential effects of
sea level rise on waterfront communities, under a program being
considered by the county Board of
Supervisors.

County supervisors will discuss a proposal


to

$12, 000
of
Measure A tax
money to develop the Youth

Science program during their


meeting Tuesday, Oct. 20.
Students from a high school on
the coast and Bayside would be
able to take classes investigating
the danger of sea level rise, and
what can be done to mitigate that
threat, under approval of the program by the board, said Supervisor
Don Horsley.

Horsley, a former science


teacher, said he believes the program is valuable to help breed passion and interest in an issue which
will shape the future of communities throughout San Mateo

County seeks cities to join


effort to buy bulk power
from renewable sources
The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors is set Tuesday to
authorize the implementation of a
program to allow the purchasing
of renewable energy in bulk.
The board will consider an ordinance to form a Community
Choice Aggregation program and
then adopt a resolution to fund the
Office of Sustainability to the tune
of $800,000 to complete the second phase of the three-phase project.
If successful, the county and
cities that participate will form a
nonprofit agency under a joint
powers agreement to buy energy
from sources other than Pacific
Gas and Electric.
The total cost to implement the
JPA is expected to cost $1.5 million.
Adoption of the ordinance will
require two public meetings.
The JPA for the program, called
Peninsula Clean Energy, is expected to be formed by February 2016.
The county will need at least
three of 20 cities to join the JPA to
get it off the ground. The hope,
however, is that all cities will partner with the county to buy clean
energy.
The JPA would allow its customers to buy renewable energy at
competitive rates. In fact, customers who purchase 100 percent
renewable energy from sources
such as wind or solar will see their
monthly electric bills rise by
about $2, according to a technical
study.

and we are going to need to adapt.


As Horsley said climate change
continues to be a growing cause
for concern in future generations,
he hopes the program will be
effective in spreading awareness
for environmental issues.

A new emergency dispatch center will be built in downtown Redwood City at the site of the countys current
motor pool on Winslow Street.

San Mateo Countys core campus


in downtown Redwood City is set
to grow with the addition of a new
37, 000-square-foot Emergency
Dispatch and Response Center
where the motor pool currently
sits.
On Tuesday, the Board of
Supervisors is set to allocate $31
million for the design and construction of the new building at
501 Winslow St.
The facility will also house the
countys Office of Emergency
Services and a server room/data
center for the Information Services
Department.
The total project cost is $37.5
million and the board has already
set aside $35 million in Measure A
funds for the facilitys construction.
The project fits into the countys
Five-Year Facilities Capital Plan
the board approved last year.
The 50 or so vehicles parked at
the motor pool now will find a
home in the adjacent parking
garage, said Director of Public
Works Jim Porter.

House in Oakland moved

OAKLAND Years after a big city
sprouted up around a tiny California

It wasnt there to demolish the threebedroom Oakland house built by

When Bossola died in 2001, the

Officials were surprised when several

WASHINGTON Scientists have


found fossil-like hints that some kind
of life existed on Earth 4.1 billion
years ago when the planet was a
mere volcanic toddler. Thats 300 million years earlier for life to pop up than
previously thought.
Not only does that change the way
scientists thought Earth was like soon
after it formed 4.5 billion years ago,
but gives them reason to theorize that
life itself is more plentiful throughout
the universe because it seemed to start
up so quickly.

Researchers examined tiny grains of


the mineral zircon from western
Australias Jack Hills and chemically
dated them to when Earth was barely
400 million years old. Inside one of
the 160 some grains they found what
they call a chemo-fossil or a certain
mix of carbon isotopes, according to a
study published Monday in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences.
Think of it as the gooey remains of
biotic life or anything more complicated, said study co-author Mark
Harrison, a UCLA geochemistry professor.
There are different types of carbon
with different weights. This carbon
residue had a higher percentage of the
lighter type of carbon, which is what
scientists usually find in remnants of
life, the same as if your finger decayed,
Harrison said. There are rare cases
where this particular carbon signature
wouldnt be from life, but they are
exceedingly unusual and only in certain situations.
Harrison theorizes that the carbon is
from a colony of tiny organisms of
some unknown type. Life existing 300
million years earlier than science
thought is the most logical and simplest explanation, but this is not
smoking gun evidence, Harrison said.
The common thinking of early volcanic Earth is that it was too molten
and there was not enough liquid water
for life to take hold this early.

Shrimp Boy trial postponed to Nov. 9


By Julia Cheever
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

The racketeering and murder solicitation


trial of Chinatown association leader
Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow was postponed in federal court in San Francisco
Monday until Nov. 9.
The delay moves the trial one week past
its previous start date of Nov. 2 for opening
statements and the beginning of testimony.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ordered
the postponement because Chows lead
lawyer, veteran criminal defense attorney
Tony Serra, is still in an unrelated murder
trial in Yolo County Superior Court and will
not be available for jury selection in
Chows case this week.
Jury selection Chows trial will now take
place on Nov. 2 and 3. The trial is expected
to last about two months.
Chow, 55, is the dragonhead or leader of
the Chee Kung Tong fraternal association in
Chinatown. He is charged with racketeering

conspiracy, conspiring
to solicit the murder of a
former associate in 2013,
conspiring to transport
and receive stolen goods
and dozens of counts of
money laundering.
Chow is also charged
with an additional count
Raymond Chow of murder in aid of racketeering for allegedly causing the gunfire slaying in 2006 of Allen
Leung, Chows predecessor as Chee Kung
Tong leader.
But that charge, which could carry a
potential death penalty upon conviction,
may be tried in a later trial and not in the
November proceeding.
Breyer said last week he will order a separate, later trial on the murder charge if U.S.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch decides that
prosecutors should seek a death penalty. He
said Monday the murder charge will be
included in the upcoming trial only if Lynch
decides not to seek a death penalty and

makes that decision before Nov. 2.


A possible death penalty would affect jury
selection because it would be necessary to
choose jurors willing to vote for capital
punishment.
Also Monday, Breyer declined to reconsider a previous ruling in which he said
prosecutors could keep secret the identities
of undercover FBI agents who investigated
the case. The judge said he might change his
mind during the trial, depending how the
evidence unfolds.
Chow was one of 29 people indicted last
year in a wide-ranging indictment that
included both organized-crime charges
against most defendants and political corruption charges against former state Sen.
Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo.
Yee and 10 other defendants have pleaded
guilty to various charges. Two of those
defendants are former associates of Chows
who are expected to testify against him on
the murder-related charges, according to a
recent prosecution filing.

Canceled wedding leads to feast for homeless


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO After a California couple called off their wedding, the bride-tobes family decided to turn the $35,000
extravagant event into a feast for the homeless.
The brides mother, Kari Duane, said
Sunday that rather than cancel the reception, they invited Sacramentos homeless
for a once in a lifetime meal Saturday at the
Citizen Hotel, one of the citys finest venues.
Duane said her 27-year-old daughter called
her Monday to tell her she and her fiance had
decided not go through with the wedding.

Soon after, the family decided to share the


nonrefundable event with the less fortunate.
Even though my husband and I were feeling very sad for our daughter, it was heartwarming to see so many people be there and
enjoy a meal, Duane said.
She said they had already paid for a reception that would have hosted 120 guests.
About 90 homeless single people, grandparents and whole families with newborns
showed up and enjoyed a meal that included
appetizers, salad, gnocchi, salmon, and
even tri-tip. Some even dressed up for the
occasion.
Erika Craycraft arrived with her husband
and five children.

While Clinton used


home email, States

Elijah Cummings, ranking member of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, speaks at the U.S. Capitol.

Democrats say Benghazi testimony


debunks GOPs unsubstantiated claims
By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Democrats on the


House committee investigating the
deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya,
issued a report Monday disputing what
they say are unsubstantiated claims
about former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton by some Republican members
of Congress and GOP presidential candidates.
The 124-page report summarizes the
results of 54 interviews and depositions conducted by the committee and
includes some unclassified testimony

from several top Clinton aides,


including her chief of staff, Cheryl
Mills.
Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland,
the panels top Democrat, said the
report shows that no witness has substantiated what he called wild
Republican conspiracy theories about
Secretary Clinton and Benghazi,
including a widely debunked claim that
Clinton or other top officials issued a
stand down order during the
September 2012 attacks.
Its time to bring this taxpayerfunded fishing expedition to an end,
Cummings said. He called on the

panels chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy of


South Carolina, to move the committees focus from politics to policy.
The report comes as Clinton, a
Democratic candidate for president, is
set to testify before the panel Thursday
at a widely anticipated public hearing
that could make or break the credibility of the 17-month-old inquiry.
The rift between Republicans and
Democrats on the committee is growing. Cummings and other Democrats
call the panel a partisan political exercise designed to exploit the deaths of
four Americans and hurt Clintons bid
for the White House.

WASHINGTON Hillary Rodham Clinton has come


under fierce criticism for doing business over personal
email while secretary of state, putting
sensitive data at risk of being hacked.
But her communications may not have
been any more secure had she used a State
Department email address, judging by
years of independent audits that excoriated the department over poor cyber security on Clintons watch.
The State Departments unclassified
Hillary Clinton email system was breached by hackers
linked to Russia last year who stole an
unspecified number of emails. The hackers hit a department
that was among the worst agencies in the federal government at protecting its computer networks while Clinton
was secretary from 2009 to 2013, a situation that continued
to deteriorate as John Kerry took office, according to independent audits and interviews.
The State Departments compliance with federal cybersecurity standards was below average when Clinton took over
but grew worse in each year of her tenure, according to an
annual report card compiled by the White House based on
audits by agency watchdogs. Network security continued to
slip after Kerry replaced Clinton in February 2013, and
remains substandard, according to the State Department
inspector general.
In each year from 2011 to 2014, the State Departments
poor cybersecurity was identified by the inspector general
as a significant deficiency that put the departments
information at risk. The latest assessment is due to be published in a few weeks.

major strike over contract
By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Faculty members at


the California State Universitys 23 campuses started voting Monday on whether to
permit their labor union to call a strike over
stalled salary negotiations.
The strike authorization vote being held
online and in person is at least the fourth
that the California Faculty Association has
held in eight years. Balloting is scheduled
to run through Oct. 28 unless a settlement
is reached.
The union, which represents about
25,000 professors, lecturers, librarians,
counselors and coaches, and the Cal State
system have been negotiating since May
on the size of the pay raises union members
will get this school year.
The faculty association is seeking a 5 percent salary increase along with a 2.7 percent
pay bump based on years of service. The university is offering raises of 2 percent, which
is what other CSU employees received.
After years of stagnant faculty wages,
the faculty on our public university campuses are angry, and we are ready for this
strike vote, CFA President Jennifer
Eagan said. We work hard to provide quality education for our students, but we also

need to support our families.


The vote taking place over the next 10
days would authorize the union to declare a
strike or other protests if the contract talks
remain unsuccessful.
No dates have been set for a possible walkout, and the earliest that one would happen is
January, Eagan said.
Union members staged rallies and conducted informational picketing at five campuses
Monday to build support for the 5 percent
raises. Local politicians and representatives
from other labor organizations joined in.
We dont want to strike. I dont want to
strike. I need every single day I can, Philip
Klasky, a lecturer in San Francisco States
Department of American Indian Studies, said.
We are trying to send a message to
Chancellor (Tim) White to negotiate with us
fairly. Give me a break, 2 percent? Living in
San Francisco?
CSU is the nations largest public university system, with about 460,000 students. It
has not been subject to a full faculty strike
since systemwide collective bargaining
began in the early 1980s.
Union members authorized strikes in
2007, 2011 and 2012. Strikes were averted
in 2007 and 2012 when negotiators for the
administration and the union reached settlements.

Close calls with drones prompts


federal registration of owners
By Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Concerned about


rising reports of close calls and safety
risks involving drones, the government announced Monday it will
require many of the increasingly popular unmanned aircraft to be registered.
Pilot sightings of drones have doubled since last year, including near
manned airplanes and at major sporting events, and there are reports of
interference with wildfire-fighting
operations, Transportation Secretary
Anthony Foxx said at a news conference.
These reports signal a troubling
trend, said Federal Aviation
Administration chief Michel Huerta.
Registration will increase pressure on
drone operators to fly responsibly, he
said, adding, When they dont fly
safely, theyll know there will be consequences.
The FAA now receives about 100
reports a month from pilots who say
theyve seen drones flying near
planes and airports, compared with
only a few sightings per month last
year. So far there have been no accidents, but agency officials have said
theyre concerned that a drone weighing only a few pounds might cause
serious damage if it is sucked into an

Hacker claims to have
breached CIA directors personal email
WASHINGTON An anonymous hacker claims to have
breached CIA Director John Brennans personal email
account and has posted documents
online, including a list of email addresses purportedly from Brennans contact
file.
The CIA said it referred the matter to
the proper authorities, but would not
comment further.
The hacker also claims to have
breached an account belonging to
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh
John Brennan Johnson.
The New York Post first reported the
hack. They described the hacker Sunday as a stoner high
school student, motivated by his opposition to U.S. foreign policy and support for Palestinians. His Twitter
account, @phphax, includes links to files that he told the
Post he took from Brennans account.
The Post said he didnt reveal his name or where he lived.

engine or smashes into an airliners
windshield.
Toys and small drones that dont
present a safety threat are likely to be
exempt from the requirement. Drones
that weigh only a pound or two or that
cant fly higher than a few hundred feet
are considered less risky, but heavier
ones and those that can fly thousands
of feet pose more of a problem.
To work out details, the FAA and the
Transportation Department are setting

up a task force including government


and industry officials, pilots and hobbyists. Theyll recommend which
drones should be required to register.
Its hard to identify drones seen
operating illegally near airports and
planes or over crowds, and registration by itself wont change that. But it
would allow the FAA to identify drones
when they can be recovered after landing or crashing, a common occurrence.

WASHINGTON Badly outspent and targeted by a withering Chamber of Commerce television ad, Woody White
lost the Republican primary for an open House seat from
North Carolina last year. Yet with anti-establishment
Republicans riding high in the presidential race and
Congress these days, the tea party-backed lawyer senses a
better environment should he force a 2016 rematch with his
GOP rival.
The message or desire on the part of the electorate to
revolt, if you will, from the establishment is so palpable
that it may overcome fundraising advantages his opponent,
freshman Rep. David Rouzer, is likely to have, White says.
White and hard-core conservatives around the country say
voter anger could help them oust Republican House members considered too unwilling to challenge President Barack
Obama and congressional Democrats.

Lawsuits could force VW to buy back cheating cars


By Tim Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Volkswagen almost


inevitably will have to compensate owners
of diesel cars equipped with emissions-rigging software. Some legal experts say the
automaker could be forced to buy back the
cars altogether.
Many of the more than 200 lawsuits filed
in the past few weeks allege that for seven
years VW marketed four-cylinder diesel
Golfs, Jettas, Beetles and Passats as clean
alternatives to gas engines, knowing all
along that the cars were spewing pollution
that far exceeded legal limits.
In September, Volkswagen admitted to
rigging emissions tests in the U.S. Earlier
this month, Michael Horn, the head of its
U.S. operations, told a congressional panel
that VW was considering compensating
owners for the lost value of their cars. He
also said that it could take from one to two
years to fix all the affected cars.

Our clients dont want to


wait a year. They dont want to be driving a dirty car.
Seattle lawyer Steve Berman

Seattle lawyer Steve Berman seized on


that time frame when he sued VW last week
in Los Angeles, seeking full restitution for
owners of nearly 70,000 affected cars in
California.
In a somewhat unique approach, Berman
is seeking to get his clients their money
back under California laws requiring
automakers to guarantee emissions control
parts for up to seven years or 70,000 miles.
His lawsuit says that VW cant promptly
make its diesels comply with the warranty,
so under a different statute it shall either
promptly replace the new motor vehicle or
promptly make restitution to the buyer.
The Environmental Protection Agency
has said the VW diesels emit 10 times to 40
times the legal limit of nitrogen oxide.

Our clients dont want to wait a year.


They dont want to be driving a dirty car,
Berman says.
The plaintiffs make the case that the cars
cant be driven legally since they violate
pollution standards, says University of
Southern California law professor Greg
Keating, who specializes in consumer fraud
cases. Even though the EPA says the cars
can legally stay on the roads, eventually
states with pollution tests will force owners
to comply with the law, he says.
They cant give me the car that they told
me I was buying, and theyre forcing me to
inflict environmental harm and be out of
compliance with California law because of
the wrong they committed, plaintiffs can
argue, says Keating.

Son of late PM Pierre Trudeau becomes Canadas new head


By Rob Gilles
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO Canadians voted for a


sharp change in their government
Monday, returning a legendary name for
liberals, Trudeau, to the prime ministers
office
and
resoundingly
ending
Conservative Stephen Harpers neardecade in office.
Justin Trudeau, the son of late Prime
Minister Pierre Trudeau, became Canadas
new prime minister after his Liberal Party
won a majority of Parliaments 338 seats.
Trudeaus Liberals had been favored to win
the most seats, but few expected the final
margin of victory.
Trudeau, tall and trim at 43, channels the
star power if not quite the political heft

of his father, who


swept to power in 1968
on a wave of support
dubbed Trudeaumania.
Pierre Trudeau, who
was prime minister until
1984 with a short interruption, remains one of
the few Canadian politiknown
in
Justin Trudeau cians
America, his charisma
often drawing comparisons to John F.
Kennedy.
Justin Trudeau, a former school teacher
and member of Parliament since 2008,
becomes the second youngest prime minister in Canadian history.
Trudeau has re-energized the Liberal
Party since its worst electoral defeat four

years ago when they won just 34 seats and


finished third behind the traditionally
weaker New Democrat Party. Trudeau promises to raise taxes on the rich and run
deficits for three years to boost government spending. His late father, who took
office in 1968 and led Canada for most of
the next 16 years, is a storied name in
Canadian history, responsible for the
countrys version of the bill of rights.
A bachelor when he became prime minister, Pierre Trudeau dated actresses Barbra
Streisand and Kim Cattrall and married a
22-year-old while in office.
We have a chance to bring real change
to Canada and bring an end to the Harper
decade, Trudeau said Sunday in Harpers
adopted home province of Alberta, traditionally a Conservative stronghold.

Blanco, Martinez for San Bruno school board


The San Bruno Park Elementary
School District has had its share of
controversy and nancial struggles
over recent years. That came to a head
last spring when budget cuts prompted a serious discussion of shuttering
all libraries and an elementary
school, sharing principals and trimming maintenance staff. Teachers
were near revolt after nearly a decade
of stagnant raises and the districts
ongoing decit spending.
The state budget saved the district
from having to make those cuts and
teachers were able to nally receive a
raise. In the midst of that, the district
cut ties with its longtime superintendent and brought in new leadership.
While that could be seen as an argument for bringing in new board members, it is not. Incumbents Jennifer
Blanco and Kevin Martinez were two
of the stabilizing forces on the board
during this tumultuous times and
deserve to see what the new superintendent can do under their guidance.
Martinez has a vast knowledge of the
districts situation and how best to
lay the groundwork for further com-

munity outreach and collaboration.
Blanco, too, is excited by the selection of a new superintendent and what
new energy may come with her community involvement. One of the saving graces of this years budget strife
was the agreement with teachers that
they would get a 2 percent raise as a
minimum with half of whatever state
funding arrived with the new budget.
In doing so, teachers felt like they
were part of the process and were
brought into the fold when it comes
to the districts nancial situation.
Blanco is a strong advocate for sharing information with teachers, staff,
parents and the community so they all
can work together for the betterment
of the district. That creates a team
mentality rather than an us versus
them mentality. Communication is
key with that effort and Blanco has
the connections to ensure that is successful.
Martinez at times has difculty in
expressing his point of view and phi-

losophy succinctly because of his


mild manner. But underneath that, he
holds a tremendous range of knowledge of the district and how it can be
better. He is an advocate for goal setting and accomplishing those goals
as new ones are established. As someone who spends time with educators
in other districts, he has the capability of taking best practices elsewhere
and applying them in San Bruno.
Andrew Mason is also bright and
focused on the school districts success. While he brings a certain sense
of scal responsibility and emphasis
on science to the table, that is not
enough to remove an incumbent who
has passion and experience. We do
encourage Mason to stay involved
and to participate in the betterment of
the district in years to come.
The San Bruno Park Elementary
School District has had difculty, but
it seems a signicant portion of that
difculty has passed. With new leadership in the superintendent position,
it will be refreshing to see how the
district develops with the experience
both Blanco and Martinez provide.

The countys
tax burden

will never forget my first summer job, where I


served as a busboy at a restaurant in San Mateo
County. While some might suggest that the tasks
and duties of a busboy require very little skill or aptitude, I will tell you that I truly put my heart into the
work. I took pride in arduously mopping floors, cheerfully greeting customers and striving to consistently
maintain a smile even when taking out the overflowing
garbage. My first service job not only taught me the
value of hard work, but also the
true value of reward for my
efforts. I learned the true value
of a dollar. Allow me to elaborate.
In my first week on the job, I
was well aware that my minimum wage earnings would not
amount to much, but I did not
anticipate that a quarter of my
earnings would be withheld
from my pocket for federal and
state taxes. What a bummer.
Jonathan Madison
For someone earning a minimum wage salary, being taxed at such a rate often creates
an extraordinary burden. It can make the difference
between having the economic means to afford a wellbalanced meal over a cheap alternative. Or, having the
economic means to pay rent with ease rather than living
paycheck to paycheck.
I subsequently researched how the government allocated and dispersed my tax dollars. I quickly realized the
importance of my participation as an engaged citizen to
hold the government accountable. Too often, we are
quick to label those who call for fewer taxes and less
government expenditures as citizens who are oblivious
to the needs of the low- and middle-class who are living
paycheck to paycheck. The fact of the matter is that the
tax burden in this country is real. In an age when our
federal and state governments are spending more than
ever before, many of us do not see tangible results of
our taxes benefiting our day-to-day lives. As such, we
should rightfully demand prudence by our elected officials with regard to taxing our hard-earned income.
I am mindful of the importance of holding government
accountable when I see Measure S a 30-year extension of a temporary sales tax on the voter ballot. Our
county has one of the highest sales tax rates not just in
our state, but on a national scale as well. The city of San
Mateo, where Measure S would apply, has one of the
highest tax rates in the county.
Proponents of Measure S suggest that funds from the
tax will be used to maintain public safety programs and
services, road maintenance and other constituent needs
in San Mateo. Moreover, Gov. Jerry Brown has recently
signed into law Senate Bill 705, a bill that allows San
Mateo County, subject to voter approval, to levy up to
an additional 2 percent sales tax on top of the state cap
of 9.5 percent. This means the sales tax rate our county
could reach 11.5 percent.
Opponents of the legislation suggest that this is
another case of government increasing taxes while providing fewer services. Some suggest that the tax
increases will harm local businesses by driving residents out of communities with higher marginal tax
rates. It is no secret that high sales taxes can unduly
burden an economy recovering from a severe economic
downturn. Perhaps we should hold our politicians to the
same standard by which each of us meet our own personal financial challenges: doing our best to live within
our means and spending no more than we actually have.
Indeed, the extent to which Measure S would impact
valuable services for residents is an ongoing debate.
However, we as residents and citizens of our nation have
an obligation to hold our government accountable for
every tax dollar levied from our hard-earned paychecks.
We should not blindly vote for a sales tax without question or reservation. From the wealthiest of individuals
to the hard-working busboys earning minimum wage,
this standard should hold true for every hard-working
resident. That is what we ought to keep in mind as we
vote by mail this November.

Crackdown: Amazon sues to


stop phony product reviews
By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Internet users increasingly


rely on online customer reviews when making spending decisions, whether theyre
buying an iPhone case on Amazon or hiring
an Uber ride in their hometown. But just
how much can you trust those reviews?
A new lawsuit in which Amazon accuses
more than 1,000 people of offering to post
bogus glowing write-ups for as little as $5
apiece might give you pause.
The case, filed in Washington state court
Friday by the nations biggest online retailer, casts light on what appears to be a burgeoning practice: the commissioning of
paid, fake reviews that masquerade as testi-

push in earnings season starts today,
particularly after the close, and as we
head into the rest of the week.
All told, the Dow rose 14.57 points,
or 0.1 percent, to 17,230.54. The
Standard & Poors 500 index added
0. 55 points, or 0. 03 percent, to
2,033.66. The Nasdaq composite rose
18. 78 points, or 0. 4 percent, to
4,905.47.
Major stock indexes have closed
higher for three days in a row.
Five of the 10 sectors in the S&P
500 rose, led by consumer discretionary stocks, which gained 0.5 percent. The sector is up 9 percent this
year.
Energy stocks fell the most, 1.9 percent. The sector is down about 15 percent this year, hurt by the slide in oil
prices. Benchmark U. S. crude fell
$1.37 on Monday to close at $45.89 a
barrel in New York.
Shares in Exxon Mobil fell $1.49,
or 1. 8 percent, to $80. 99, while
Chevron slid $1.26, or 1.4 percent, to
$90.03.
Oil has had a tough time getting off
the ground and most commodities are
down, said JJ Kinahan, TD

chief
strategist.
Normally you would say it is demand,
but because pretty much every commodity is getting hit today. I relate
that more to dollar strength.

Mims makes M-A history


Athlete of the Week

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Jordan Mims doesnt understand what the


big deal is.
Sure, the Menlo-Atherton tailback rushed
for 321 yards Friday against Aragon, which
by all accounts is likely a new program
record and is certainly cause for his being
named Daily Journal Player of the Week. But
Mims is much more interested in the 31-10
final score to bring M-A back to respectability with a 3-3 overall record and, more
importantly, a 2-0 record in Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division play.
I didnt really plan on doing it, Mims
said dryly in response to a question about
whether he woke up Friday with a record-setting performance on the agenda. I planned
on helping the team win and doing whatever
I could to make that happen.
Mims is a big deal though. The PAL Bay
Division rushing leader with 830 yards this
season has made that clear since his varsity
debut last year as a midseason call-up, when
he rushed for his previous career-high of 181
yards against Sequoia. That performance during Week 6 of M-As 2014 campaign helped
fuse Mims with current Bears head coach
Adhir Ravipati.
Prior to taking over the varsity squad this
season, Ravipati served as a varsity assistant under former M-A head coach Sione
Taufoou. But Ravipati departed after the
2013 season to launch a startup company,
only to return at the midway juncture last
year after the Bears 1-4 start. And one of
Ravipatis first orders of business was to
make a case for promoting Mims from the
M-A junior-varsity team.
Mims said he entered his sophomore season uncertain as to his readiness for the varsity ranks. Currently 5-10, 165 pounds, last
season Mims started the year just shy of 5-9.
But his dynamic foot speed had the final say
in his ultimate promotion, upon which
Mims made Ravipati look like he really
knows what hes talking about with a monster day to lead M-A to a victory.
Honestly, I wasnt really that surprised,
Ravipati said. The kid has just got a lot of

Gardner said. We had been looking at

Sharks come back to Earth with 4-0 loss to Rangers


By Denis P. Gorman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Antti Raanta was just


looking to get a win in his New York
Rangers debut. He did much more than that.
Raanta stopped all 22 shots he faced to
become the fourth goalie in franchise history to get a shutout in his first start with the
team, leading the Rangers to a 4-0 victory
over the San Jose Sharks on Monday night.
Getting his fourth career shutout, Raanta
joined Hal Winkler (1926), John Ross
Roach (1928) and Marcel Paille (1957) as
the only goaltenders to blank an opponent

in his first start with the


Rangers.
The only thing I was
thinking was to win,
said Raanta, who was
playing for the first time
since being acquired from
Chicago in a draft-day
trade in June. Our guys
Antti Raanta defended so well.
Marc Staal, Mats
Zuccarello, Jesper Fast and Viktor Stalberg
scored for New York, which snapped a three
game winless streak (0-2-1) after opening
the season with three wins.

Everyone in the room knows that the


level we were playing at isnt acceptable,
Staal said. Its something we wanted to
take care of.
Martin Jones finished with 24 saves in
his first loss of the season as the Sharks
lost their second straight after opening the
season with four wins. Jones had allowed
just two goals in the Sharks season-opening winning streak and came in leading the
NHL in goals-against average (0.49), save
percentage (.982) and shutouts (2).
We lost pretty much every facet of the
game, Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said. Lost
races to pucks, lost battles, lost special teams

(battles). Theres a price to pay to win and the


other team was more willing to pay that price
than us so we got what we deserved.
Rangers coach Alain Vigneault opted to
keep the same forward lines and defense
pairings that could only score once in the 21 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils on
Sunday.
Vigneaults gambit paid immediate dividends as Staal scored his first of the season
10:36 into the game. Staals point shot
appeared to ricochet off of San Joses Joel
Ward.

natural ability. I knew he had a chance to come up and be an
impact player right away.
Much of Ravipatis assessment had to do with Mims history
as an explosive runner. A three-sport athlete through his freshman and sophomore seasons, Mims is a standout long sprinter
on the M-A track and field team. And he has been for a while.
Following his freshman year, he recorded a time of 53 seconds
flat in the 400-yard dash at the Junior Olympics in North
Carolina, he said, which still stands as his personal record.
Mims has been playing football since he was 7 he started
with Pop Warner Football for the San Francisco Brown
Bombers until moving to Menlo Park in the third grade, where
he took up with the East Palo Alto Greyhounds. Ravipati still
considers the junior a raw football player, which is code for
watch out, because the best is yet to come.
One thing hes gotten by on for so long is, because hes a
track runner, is track speed, Ravipati said. Hes got great
vision but weve been trying to increase his football IQ so
he can kind of pick up his blocks and get downfield more efficiently. But hes a special talent. Once he finds a crease,
he hits it full speed.
Mims is not interested in the special talent talk though. Its
this nose-to-the-grindstone humility that makes him the perfect fit in a good one-two punch out of the M-A backfield.
Junior Stavro Papadakis, splitting time between running back
and quarterback this season, has more carries than Mims while
totaling 318 yards. But when blocking detail fell to the 5-11,
205-pound Papadakis on Friday, he delivered, as did the offensive line of tackles Makisi Tonga and Bryce Rodgers; guards
Ivan Robles and Epeli Mataele; and center Kevin Shimbo.
Stavro did a tremendous job blocking, as well as our offensive line, Mims said. They had an outstanding game.
Mims was off and running from the opening play, when he
busted a big gainer off right tackle. He went on to tab a best of
70 yards en route to rushing for three touchdowns. He also had
two catches for 63 yards and another TD. And while he did record
one four-touchdown game against Burlingame as a J.V. freshman, he has never given a rushing performance like Fridays.
Jordan is just a total team player, Ravipati said. If [321
yards] could have gone to someone else in the backfield, Jordan
would have been just as happy with that with us winning.
M-As recent winning ways belie the teams 0-3 start. But the
Bears faced three powerhouse programs in those games
Marin Catholic-Kentfield, Oakdale and Riordan which currently have a combined record of 19-2.
We knew we had a really good football team, Ravipati said.
But we also knew it was going to take some time to grow
because we have a really young team this year.
Mims is the epitome of the M-A youth movement. And yes,
even after totaling the best single-game rushing total in the
PAL this year, his best is yet to come.

Barry Zito, who won a Cy Young in 2002 with the Oakland As and pitched in
the 2012 World Series with the Giants, announced his retirement Monday.

Zito announces retirement


after 15 big league seasons
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Left-hander Barry


Zito is retiring just as he planned.
The pitcher made the announcement in an article he wrote for The
Players Tribune posted Monday,
saying, Im retiring today from
baseball, but Ill never be too far
away from the game that made me
who I am.
The 37-year-old Zito said last
month when called up to the
Oakland Athletics following a season in Triple-A that he planned to

retire and turn his attention to his


other love, music, and spending
more time with his family.
The 2002 AL Cy Young Award
winner with the As, Zito went 165143 with a 4.04 ERA in parts of 15
big league seasons, which also
included seven years with the San
Francisco Giants. He considers a
highlight the 2012 World Series,
when he was the Game 1 winner and
also pitched Game 5 of the NLCS
against St. Louis with his team facing elimination.

TORONTO Josh Donaldson and the slugging Toronto Blue Jays were eager to return to
their homer dome after dropping the first two
games of the AL Championship Series in
Kansas City.
They showed everyone why.
The Blue Jays came out swinging and their
rowdy fans were singing from the start, with
Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki connecting in
a six-run third inning as Toronto roughed up
Johnny Cueto and the Royals for an 11-8 victory that cut Kansas Citys series lead to 2-1.
Ryan Goins also homered and had a two-run
single a game after his misplayed pop fly set
off Kansas Citys winning rally Sunday.
The resilient Royals tried to come back this
time, too, scoring four runs in the ninth before
Roberto Osuna closed it out.
Veteran knuckleballer R.A. Dickey will try
to get the Blue Jays even in the best-of-seven
series Tuesday afternoon. He faces Kansas
Citys 6-foot-10 right-hander Chris Young in
Game 4.
Despite being outhit 15-11 by the pesky
Royals, Toronto pounced on Kansas Citys
pitching in the first ALCS game in Toronto
since 1993 for their most runs ever at home in
the postseason after scoring just three in
two games in Kansas City.
The Blue Jays needed them, too. Kansas City
scored four times off starter Marcus Stroman
and then added four in the ninth, capped by
Kendrys Morales two-run homer off Osuna.
Seemingly not distracted by the contentious
federal elections that were being held in
Canada on Monday, 49,751 fans serenaded

Tigers Norris says he kept pitching


despite of cancerous growth
DETROIT Tigers pitcher Daniel Norris
says baseball kept him sane after a jarring
medical diagnosis.
The Detroit left-hander announced in a
message on Twitter and Instagram on
Monday that he kept playing last season
after finding out he had a cancerous growth
on his thyroid. The 22-year-old Norris said
the growth was deemed malignant but he
was told by a doctor that he could wait until
the end of the season to have it removed.
I was given the option to shut my year down

all-hands-on-deck type of thing,
Andrew Gardner said.
The Gardners are a couple of
young guns trying to make it the
world of sports. Jordan, 31, started
a secondary-ticket sale website and
Andrew, 29, went to work for his
brother following his graduation
from Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo in
2009.
For Andrew, working in the front
ofce of a sports team was one of
his dreams growing up. He played
all the sports growing up, including soccer, but turned to football in
high school in Davis and went on
to become a college-caliber kicker.
My dream would be to be the
GM for ll-in-the-blank pro franchise, Andrew said.
For now, they are intent on building on the foundation of what the
Dragons set down last season and
part of that is growing the relationship with its parent club the

SHARKS
Continued from page 11
I just tried to get to the net as
fast as I can and I think it hit
someone one of their guys
and goes in, said Staal, who later
recorded his 100th career assist on
Stalbergs goal. We talked about
getting a lot more pucks to the
net, create some traffic, and then
(Fast) was in front taking (Jones
sightlines) away and thats how it
gets in the back of the net.
New York continued to attack in

MLB brief
& get it removed immediately, Norris posted.
However, seeing another doctor that determined I could wait until the end of the season
reassured my gut feeling. Just keep playing.
Norris was traded to the Tigers in late July
as the most highly regarded prospect in the
deal that sent David Price to the Blue Jays.
Al Avila, who was promoted to replace
Dave Dombrowski as Detroits general manager shortly after the trade deadline, said in
a text message that the Tigers knew about
Norris condition when they acquired him
and expect him to recover in full.

Earthquakes.
Our understanding was the relationship (with the Earthquakes)
started a little slow, Jordan
Gardner said. As the season progressed, toward the end of the season, the Earthquakes put a lot of
development and focused a lot on
the Dragons.
The point is to promote the
Earthquakes brand. The Quakes
should be very hands on.
The Gardners said they hope to
soon sit down the Earthquakes
director of development, Chris
Leitch, to see which technical
direction the Dragons will be
heading.
One of the rst big decisions the
Gardners will be involved with is
the search and hiring of a new
coach. Jordan Gardner said Dana
Taylor, the Dragons coach last season, will not be returning for the
2016 campaign. He expects the
Earthquakes to have some say in
the new hiring.
And they would welcome any
help they can get.
Any kind of support we can get
from [the Earthquakes], it denitely
helps us a lot, Jordan Gardner said.

what was the Rangers most complete performance of the season.


While Raanta did not have to
work especially hard, his toughest
stop occurred early in the second
period as New York was killing a
5-on-3 Sharks power play. San
Jose center Joe Thornton attempted a quick shot from along the goal
line as Patrick Marleau drove the
net, but Raanta kicked the puck
away.
The save was significant when
Zuccarello scored his fourth of the
season later in the period. With
Rick Nash screening Jones,
Zuccarello whipped a shot from
the right side into the net.

Fast had a breakaway goal 3:47


into the third period.
We gave up too many odd-man
rushes, Jones lamented. They
did a good job getting to the net.
Raanta made a left pad save on
Thomas Hertl as the Sharks came
in on a 2-on-1.
Stalbergs goal with 3:16 left
ended the scoring.
We were able to connect the
dots, the Rangers Ryan
McDonagh said. It allowed us to
create some rush chances, spend
some time in their end and try and
negate their speed through the
neutral zone.

The connections they can bring,


they just have resources we probably wouldnt have access to.
While the Gardners have hit the
ground running, they believe they
have the time before the start of the
season to get all their ducks in a
row.
Last year got off to a late start,
Jordan Gardner said. This year,
having this announcement now, we
have ve, six, seven months
(before the start of the season) so
were fully prepared.

five catches for 102 yards.
The one thing I have thought
about these guys is that theyve
shown up for work every week and
locked their jaw and gone to
work, coach Jim Tomsula said
Monday.
Seattle has won five of the last
six against San Francisco, including playoffs.
Regardless of records, theres
always a little more on the line
when the 49ers and Seahawks play.

Bears losing an additional fumble,
they were in position late to beat
then-No. 5 Utah before falling on
the road 30-24 in the Oct. 10 game
that had all the hoopla of a
matchup between undefeated teams
with College GameDay on hand.
With 11 days off before the game
at the Rose Bowl against the
Bruins, the Bears have had plenty
of time to get past that loss and
move on to the rest of their season.
When I look back, we had a terrible game offensively and we were
one possession away from beating
the No. 5 team in the nation,

Everybody gets a little anxious


for this game, said cornerback
Kenneth Acker, who was wide
open without a receiver in sight
when he made an interception in
the third quarter Sunday against
Joe Flacco and returned it 45
yards.
Everybody wants to make sure
San Francisco takes another step
forward.
Anything positive we can get
we got to keep it going right
now, Smith said. We cant really
spend too much time being happy
about this because we have a tough
defense coming here on Thursday
so we have to get our mind right
for that.
The 49ers received a one-game
roster exemption for wideout

Jerome Simpson, who is returning


to practice this week after serving
his six-game suspension for violations of the NFLs substanceabuse policy. San Francisco would
have to clear room on the 53-man
roster for Simpson if it decides to
play him right away this week.
Tomsula said there is concern
linebacker NaVorro Bowman is
playing too much on his surgically repaired left knee, injured
against the Seahawks in the NFC
title game nearly two years ago. It
sidelined Bowman for all of 2014.
He played all 77 snaps Sunday.
I realize theyre high. Thats
something I look at on every
player, Tomsula said. Weve got
to get them down. Weve got to
get some of those reps down on

receiver Stephen Anderson said.


Its bad that we lost but there are a
lot of positives we can take coming into this week.
The one player who had almost
no positives from that game was
Goff, who came into it being mentioned as a Heisman Trophy contender and possible No. 1-overall
draft pick only to throw the five
interceptions. He also tied a season low with only two touchdown
passes.
Goff said he moved on quickly
from the loss and took advantage
of the time off to clear his mind
and freshen up his body for the
second half of the season.
Knowing Jared, seeing Jared
these last couple of years I think
its a fluke, Anderson said. It
happened. A lot of people like to

say the lights were too bright for


him or something like that. I dont
think the lights were too bright for
him. He just had a bad game.
Even with the loss, there is
plenty on the line for the Bears,
who are once again a contender in
the Pac-12 after winning just nine
games overall the previous three
seasons.
A win Thursday would make them
bowl eligible for the first time since
2011, give them their first win at
UCLA in 2009 and give Dykes his
first win against one of Cals three
in-state conference rivals.
The Bears had three shots at that
elusive sixth win last year only to
lose to USC, Stanford and BYU to
end the season. They missed out
again on the sixth win against
Utah.

Murray, Carroll lead Eagles


to 27-7 win over New York
By Rob Maaddi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA A tenacious
defense bailed out Sam Bradford and
made Eli Manning miserable.
DeMarco Murray ran for 109 yards
and a touchdown, Nolan Carroll
returned one of Mannings two
interceptions for a score and the
Philadelphia Eagles beat the New
York Giants 27-7 Monday night.
The Eagles had three takeaways,
sacked Manning three times and
forced two intentional grounding
penalties.
All the credit goes to them,
Bradford said of Philadelphias
defense. It seemed like every time
we needed a stop or a big play, they
created a lot of turnovers tonight.
That always gives us a lot of momentum and always gives us juice.
Bradford threw for 280 yards with
a 32-yard TD pass to Riley Cooper,
but had three interceptions to keep
New York in the game. The Giants
got zero points off the turnovers.
The Eagles (3-3) have won two
straight to move from last place in
the NFC East into a tie for first with
the Giants (3-3). The teams meet
again in Week 17.
Neither team looked sharp in front
of a prime-time audience. They combined for seven turnovers and 21
penalties.
The Giants gave the Eagles first
downs on a roughing-the-passer

penalty and a
run n i n g -i n t o the-kicker
penalty to keep
both of their TD
drives going.
Wearing allblack uniforms
for the third
time in franDeMarco
chise history,
Murray
the Eagles got
off to another slow start.
Manning completed his first 10
passes, including a 13-yard TD pass
to Odell Beckham Jr. for a 7-0 lead.
But things went downhill for
Manning from there.
The Eagles took a 14-7 lead in the
second quarter when Carroll jumped
in front of a pass intended for
Dwayne Harris and ran it back
untouched for his first career TD.
After Nikita Whitlock ran into
punter Donnie Jones to give
Philadelphia a first down at its 28,
Murray took over. He had two runs
of 11 yards each and finished the
drive with a 12-yard TD run to give
the Eagles a 24-7 lead in the third
quarter.
Murray had his best game since
joining the Eagles after a recordbreaking season in Dallas. The AllPro led the NFL in rushing last year
and broke Emmitt Smiths singleseason club record, but has struggled
in Philadelphia. He entered the game
with 130 yards this season.

ALCS
Continued from page 13
Cueto with a sing-song CuetoCueto! chant from the games first
pitch and never quieted down.
The Royals took a quick lead
when Alcides Escobar led off the
game with a sinking liner that went
under right fielder Jose Bautistas
glove for a triple off Stroman. Ben
Zobrist drove in Escobar with a
grounder, but that was the only
advantage Kanas City would hold
in having its nine-game ALCS winning streak snapped. The string
dated to the 1985 series against
Toronto.
Blue Jays center fielder Kevin
Pillar quashed that rally with a fantastic, over-the-shoulder catch that
sent him crashing into the wall.
After an easy first, Cueto
appeared flustered by the crowd.
Eleven of his remaining 13 batters
reached and at one point in the third
inning he threw his hands up in

frustration after gesturing for a new


cycle of signs from catcher
Salvador Perez.
Goins singled in two runs in the
second after Tulowitzki singled
with one out and Russell Martin
was hit by a pitch that knocked off
his left elbow guard. Goins pulled
into second on the throw home and
shouted and pumped his arms.
David Price, the losing pitcher in
Game 2, led the cheering from the
top step of the dugout.
When
Goins
scored
on
Donaldsons hit, he was greeted
first by the enthusiastic Stroman.
Entering in a 4-for-29 postseason slump, Tulowitzki connected
for the Blue Jays first ALCS homer
after Edwin Encarnacion singled
and Chris Colabello walked to start
the third.
Tulowitzki got a rare playoff
ejection for arguing balls and
strikes before the top of the
eighth. He struck out looking in
the seventh.
Cueto was coming off a dominant eight-inning performance in
Game 5 of the ALDS, retiring his
last 19 batters. But after giving up

Pillars RBI double in the third, he


was done.
The dreadlocked Dominican gave
up six hits and eight runs in twoplus innings. He walked four and
hit a batter with a pitch. As fans
sang Cueto off the field, he smiled
and tossed his gum near the Royals
dugout.
Donaldson connected two batters
after Kris Medlen entered for a 9-2
lead, and Goins homered off
Medlen in the fifth as Toronto
matched its postseason best with
three homers in a game. The Blue
Jays also hit three against Texas in
Game 4 of the ALDS.
Stroman gave up two runs in the
fifth on a wild pitch and an RBI single in an uncharacteristic performance for the 24-year-old who
returned from a torn knee ligament
in March to go 4-0 down the stretch
and get the win in Game 5 of the
ALDS. He allowed four runs and 11
hits.
But many Blue Jays fans were
confident enough with a 10-4 lead to
sing Happy Birthday to Bautista
when he came to bat in the sixth.
Bautista drove in a run in the eighth.

Johnson & Johnson: Stelara fares well in Crohns disease


By Linda A. Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRENTON, N.J. Johnson & Johnsons


immune disorder drug Stelara significantly
reduced symptoms of the inflammatory
bowel condition Crohns disease with just
one infusion in about half the patients tested,
according to the company.
The results, released Monday, are the first
from multiple late-stage studies normally
the last stage before seeking regulatory
approval for Crohns, which J&J plans to do
later this year. Stelara, on the market since
2009, is approved for treating plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
Besides giving Crohns patients a new
option, the additional approval could shore
up vulnerable sales in J&Js biggest franchise, drugs for disorders in which the
immune system attacks the bodys own tissue. That also could give J&J a boost in the
fiercely competitive category, which is led
by the worlds top-selling drug, Humira.
Biologic drugs Stelara, Simponi and

Remicade, J&Js oldest immune disorder medicine, bring the company more than $10 billion a year combined and treat conditions
including rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative
colitis.

Humi ra,
which has

$13 billion in

and treats seven
immune disorders, as well as
other drugs including Enbrel,
sold by Amgen Inc. and Pfizer Inc.
The injectable drugs have various dosing
schedules and work by different mechanisms,
neutralizing different immune system pro-

teins to reduce the inflammation that triggers


symptoms and so limit complications.

and

that can be
deadly. Theyre
also expensive: For psoriasis patients, Stelara costs $32,500 to
$65,000 a year without insurance, depending
on the dose.
J&Js Remicade, approved for Crohns and
five other disorders, is its top drug with sales

of about $6.5 billion annually. Thats dipping because biosimilar competition sortof generic versions of biologic drugs manufactured in living cells has begun elsewhere. It could hit in the U.S. after
Remicades patent expires in September
2018.
In the company-funded Stelara study, which
gave an induction treatment meant to bring
Crohns under control, 628 patients got a
single infusion of Stelara at one of two doses,
or a placebo infusion. Eight weeks later, 47
percent of patients getting a low Stelara dose
and 58 percent getting a high dose had major
symptom improvement, compared with 32
percent of those receiving placebo.
One of the other soon-to-be-completed
Crohns studies is giving patients maintenance doses of Stelara every 12 weeks to see
how they fare longer term.
About 700,000 Americans have Crohns,
which is incurable and causes abdominal
pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding and other
nasty symptoms.
Its cause is unknown.

Community Choice Aggregation
allows a local government, or group of
local governments, to pool the electricity demand of their residential,
business and municipal accounts to
purchase or develop power on their
behalf.
The program could also lead to local
job creation in the clean energy sector.
The rates for renewable energy in
most instances are lower than or competitive with PG&E rates depending on
the percentage being purchased.
Depending on the route the JPA
takes, customers will have a choice to
purchase a mix of energy or 100 percent renewable energy.
The county has been looking at three
scenarios to purchase renewable energy at either 35 percent, 50 percent or
100 percent.
The 100 percent scenario means zero

emissions were generated during energy production.


Customers in the county who buy
their power from companies such as
SolarCity will not be affected by the
proposal.
The renewable energy will be delivered on PG&E lines.
The biggest risk of the clean energy
program is the uncertainty in rate

Health law fine on


the uninsured will
more than double
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Obama administration indicated on Monday that some long-awaited upgrades to the
governments health insurance website could take more time before theyre customer-ready.

Potential delay on upgrades


to government insurance site
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON With sign-up season


starting in less than two weeks, the Obama
administration indicated on Monday that
some long-awaited upgrades to the governments health insurance website could take
more time before theyre customer-ready.
At issue is a new doctor look-up tool for
HealthCare.gov, as well as another feature
that would allow consumers to find out
whether a particular health plan covers their
prescription drugs. Up to now, digging out
that information has required additional
steps.
Lori Lodes, communications director for
the agency that runs the health care program,
said those online improvements will be
ready to launch soon, but she would not commit to a specific date.
The insurance industry says ongoing testing uncovered some problems with accuracy.
Right now, we are working closely with
the insurance companies to make sure their
data is accurate and validated and to identify

and fix any potential issues, Lodes said in a


statement. When we are confident that the
data provided by the insurers gives consumers the information they need to choose
the right plan, well be ready to launch.
Open enrollment for 2016 starts Nov. 1
and runs through Jan. 31. Insurers were
required to provide the data by Oct. 1.
Industry officials say the government left
too little time for testing. The administration says it has extended the testing period,
and insurers need to submit their data in the
correct format.
Another consumer-friendly upgrade a
cost estimator apparently wont be
delayed.
The administration has set a goal of 10
million paying customers by the end of next
year in the health laws insurance markets,
which offer taxpayer-subsidized private
plans to people who dont have access to
job-based coverage.
By allowing a delay, the administration
may spare itself some embarrassment if the
promised online improvements had turned
out to have bugs.

WASHINGTON The math is harsh: The


federal penalty for having no health insurance is set to jump to $695, and the Obama
administration is being urged to highlight
that cold fact in its new pitch for health law
sign-ups.
That means the 2016 sign-up season starting Nov. 1 could see penalties become a bigger focus for millions of people who have
remained eligible for coverage, but uninsured. Theyre said to be squeezed for money,
and skeptical about spending what they have
on health insurance.
Until now, health overhaul supporters have
stressed the benefits: taxpayer subsidies that
pay roughly 70 percent of the monthly premium, financial protection against sudden
illness or an accident, and access to regular
preventive and follow-up medical care.
But in 2016, the penalty for being uninsured will rise to the greater of either $695 or
2.5 percent of taxable income. Thats for
someone without coverage for a full 12
months. This year the comparable numbers
are $325 or 2 percent of income.
Marketing usually involves stressing the
positive. Rising penalties meet no ones definition of good news. Still, that may create a
new pitch:
The math is pretty clear. A consumer would
be able to get six months or more of coverage for $695, instead of owing that amount
to the IRS as a tax penalty. (That example is
based on subsidized customers now putting
in an average of about $100 a month of their
own money.)
Backers of the law are urging the administration to drive the math lesson home.
Given that the penalty is larger, it does
make sense to bring it up more frequently,
said Ron Pollack, executive director of
Families USA, a liberal advocacy group. Its
an increasing factor in peoples decisions
about whether or not to get enrolled.

More and more, people are mentioning


the sticks as well as the carrots, said
Katherine Hempstead, director of health
insurance coverage for the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation, a nonpartisan organization that has helped facilitate the insurance
expansion under Obamas law.
Administration officials are looking for a
balance.
We need to be make sure that we are very
clear and explicit about that $695 penalty so
people understand the choice they are making, said spokeswoman Lori Lodes. But she
said the main emphasis will stay on the benefits of having health insurance and how the
laws subsidies can dramatically lower the
cost of monthly premiums.
The requirement that individuals get health
insurance or face fines remains the most
unpopular part of President Barack Obamas
health care law, a prime target of Republican
repeal efforts. It started at $95 or 1 percent of
income in 2014. The fact that its gone up so
much may take consumers by surprise.
But many experts consider the mandate
essential to Obamas overall approach, as
does the insurance industry. The law forbids
insurers from turning away people with
health problems, and the coverage requirement forces healthy people into the insurance pool, helping to keep premiums in
check. After 2016, the fines will rise with
inflation.
This year was the first time the IRS collected the penalties, deducting them from taxpayers refunds for the 2014 tax year in most
cases. Some 7.5 million households paid
penalties totaling $1.5 billion, an average of
$200 apiece, according to preliminary IRS
data. Separately, another 12 million households claimed exemptions from the mandate
because of financial hardships or other reasons.
Although Obamas law is five years old and
has survived two Supreme Court challenges,
administration officials say the upcoming
open enrollment season wont be easy.

ities master plan which has identified
roughly $600 million worth of necessary fixes and improvements.
But opponents of the tax feel officials should look to trim from the operating budget to find funding for the
fixes and school building improvements rather than ask voters for additional revenue.
Mark Hinkle, of the Silicon Valley
Taxpayers Association, said officials
have not properly prioritized spending
money to address the needs of school
buildings.
Things that are not in the budget are
not a priority, he said. If it is not a
priority to them, why should it be a priority to the taxpayers?
Education officials claim though
there are insufficient funds in the districts limited budget to address the variety of necessary fixes and renovations,
which is why they have asked voters for
additional support.
Paulson said the districts budget has
shrunk from as much as $95 million in
recent years down to $78 million, forcing officials to channel a majority of
the revenue into supporting teachers
and students, and leaving little left for
facilities.
Everything has gone into the needs
of the kids and teachers for the past few
years, said Paulson. So if there was a
project that had to wait, it has waited.
Superintendent John Baker said there
is just enough money on an annual
basis to pay for maintenance and fix
emergencies which may occur, but there

Design work on the project is
expected to start next month with construction expected to start next summer, according to a report by Porter to
the Board of Supervisors.
Construction of the building is
expected to be completed by December
2017 and occupied shortly after,
according to Porters report.
Furnishing the building is expected
to cost up to another $11 million,
according to the report.
Emerging technology, new generators and changes in emergency dispatch consoles make it necessary to
separately procure and install these
items and other loose furnishings and
equipment as the project nears completion and just prior to occupancy,
Porter wrote in the report.
Total cost of the project will
approach $48.5 million.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

is nowhere near enough funding to


address the issues identified in the bond
spending plan.
Should the bond fail, officials would
be forced to move forward applying
patchwork fixes when urgent issues
arise across the district, said Baker.
Its a Band-Aid approach that will
continue to occur if this does not pass,
he said.
Under the proposed spending plan for
the bond, a majority of the funds would
go to address needs at Garfield, John
Gill and Hoover elementary schools, as
well as Kennedy Middle School.
But Paulson noted each of the districts campuses would accept a portion
of the funds, as many would receive new
libraries or media centers.
Some of the money would be spent
toward general improvements, such as
spending $900,000 to replace the door
locks on all the campuses throughout
the district, said Paulson.
She noted the substantial cost of
addressing essential maintenance needs
when faced with accommodating so
many different campuses.
When you have 16 schools, even the
smallest projects are not small, she
said.
Paulson said as the district has
worked to meet the demands of new
state education standards under continued implementation of Common Core
curriculum, classrooms need to be
updated to offer students more flexible
learning spaces.
Hinkle though suggested the district
move away from focusing on building
costly facilities to offer a modern education, and instead use the free resources
available online to supplement student
learning programs.
Libraries are an anachronism, said

Hinkle. If you want a book, go


online.
Prior to putting the bond on the ballot, officials engaged in a thorough and
comprehensive community outreach
campaign, said Paulson, to identify the
variety of educational needs facing the
district, and how those can be addressed
through improving and renovating the
facilities.
Should Measure T receive the 55 percent of voter support necessary to pass,
the district would likely need to come
back for another tax in the future to
address the other issues identified in the
facilities master plan, Paulson said.
Lily Clausen, who is co-chair of the
advocacy campaign in favor of the tax
measure, said she believes the bond is
necessary to build campuses which best
suit the needs of students in the district.
We want to make these schools and
vibrant as they can be, she said.
As the economy has improved in
recent years, Paulson said she believes
the time is right to ask voters for additional support.
I think the community is ready, she
said.
But rather than look to voters for
financial assistance, Hinkle said it
would be more prudent to cut from the
salaries of administrators, to make
more space for addressing the districts
facilities needs.
Student learning is enhanced through
investment in capable teachers, not
modern school buildings, said Hinkle.
Spend the money in the classroom,
and then you wont need a tax increase,
or a bond measure, he said.

The contract for the new two-story


facility will be awarded to McCarthy
Building Company with board
approval.
The dispatch center is currently
housed in the Hall of Justice in the
basement at 400 County Center.
The project is part of the 2014
Government Center Development
Strategy, which includes the Hall of
Justice building and a few others that
surround it.
The strategy calls for renovating the
Hall of Justice building at a cost of
about $43 million.
The county is embarking on a longrange strategy to make better use of its
facilities that calls for constructing a
new office building to house the Board
of Supervisors, the County Managers
Office and County Counsel, which are
all located at 400 County Center.
The new building would be built in
downtown Redwood City on the block
where the Lathrop House and Traffic
Court is on Hamilton Street.
A new parking garage is also pro-

posed to accommodate workers and


visitors to the County Government
Center at a cost of up to $35 million.
The current surge in private sector
developments near and around CGC
(County Government Center) has
underscored the scarcity of available
land for further development beyond
the known parcels within CGC, namely the Motor Pool site, the Jury
Parking area adjacent to Veterans
Boulevard, Old Maguire Jail and the
FATCO block, containing Lathrop
House and Traffic Courts, adjacent to
the Hall of Justice. Efficient use of the
remaining land at the CGC is extremely important, Porter wrote in a previous report.

Beating and killing of Eritrean


prompts soul-searching in Israel
By Josef Federman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM The death of an Eritrean


migrant who was shot and beaten by a mob
that mistakenly believed he was a
Palestinian attacker set off a round of soulsearching Monday amid the jittery atmosphere sweeping Israel in a wave of unrest.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the vigilantism. Some critics
accused Israels leaders of fostering the
charged climate, while others called for the
swift prosecution of the crazed mob.
It is a disgrace to Israeli society, and
those that carried out this lynching need to
be found and brought to justice, said
Yaakov Amidror, Netanyahus former
national security adviser.
Even if it was the terrorist himself, by
the way, after he was shot, after he was neutralized and lying on the floor, you need to
be an animal to torment him, he told Israel

Chinas economic growth declines to six-year low


By Joe McDonald
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING Chinas economy decelerated


in the latest quarter but stronger spending
by consumers who are emerging as an
important pillar of growth helped to avert a
deeper downturn.
The worlds second-largest economy grew
by 6.9 percent in the three months ended in

September, the slowest since early 2009 in


the aftermath of the global financial crisis,
data showed Monday. That was down from
the previous quarters 7 percent.
Chinas economic prospects are being
scrutinized around the world. Its slowdown
has unnerved global markets and held down
worldwide economic growth, especially in
countries such as Brazil and Australia that
export raw materials to China.

have fueled concern in China about possible job losses and unrest. The communist government has cut interest rates
five times since last November in an

effort to shore up growth.


The latest data highlight the two-speed
nature of Chinas economy in the midst of a
marathon effort by the Communist Party to
nurture self-sustaining growth based on
domestic consumption and reduce reliance
on trade and investment. Manufacturers are
shrinking and shedding millions of jobs
while
consumer-oriented businesses
expand.
