GOP blocks supermajorities

California Assembly seat flips, Democrats no longer hold two-thirds in state Legislature
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Republicans scored a

major election victory on Friday by blocking Democratic supermajorities in both
houses of the Legislature after flipping an
Assembly seat in the eastern San Francisco
Bay Area.
Fridays win by Republican Catharine
Baker over Democrat Tim Sbranti in
Assembly District 16 follows GOP success

on Election Day in blocking a Democratic
supermajority in the 40-member state
Senate.
A two-thirds threshold is needed to give
the majority party power to raise taxes and
override gubernatorial vetoes without support from the minority party.
Baker secured 52 percent of the vote after
an updated tally by Contra Costa and
Alameda counties late Friday. That means
Republicans picked up the 27 seats needed

in the 80-member Assembly.
She cast her victory as a desire by voters
to provide a check to Democrats in
Sacramento, who still hold a solid majority
of seats in the Legislature as well as every
statewide office.
This years strike by unionized workers
for the Bay Area Rapid Transit system also
was a key issue in the campaign and brought
frustrated voters to the polls, she said. The
GATORS SHUT DOWN PANTHERS
district stretches from Lafayette to

Livermore, encompassing communities
heavily dependent on the mass transit system, and previously was represented by a
Democrat.
It was a real example of when leaders
have an opportunity to choose whats best
for the community over whatever prior loyalties or affiliations they might have. And

Norovirus confirmed

Sixty sickened at three separate events

See SOFITEL, Page 24
The possibility San Carlos voters will be faced with a

bond measure next November to fund several city projects
like new parks and recreation facilities will likely move one
step closer to reality Monday night when the council will
consider spending money for consultants and outreach.
The city, two weeks ago, already allocated $500,000 for
temporary staff to pursue those special projects and figure
out if voters would go for a bond. This newly proposed
$117,730 is for election consulting and polling services
and $30,542 will be spent on consulting group Community
Focus to facilitate community meetings.
Election consultant TBWB Strategies will subcontract the
surveying to Godbe Research if the council approves the
proposal at Monday nights meeting.
While there is no guarantee right now that the council will
pull the trigger on a bond measure, if it does, the proposed
timeline calls for the November 2015 election. Ramping up
to that point, community meetings will be held between
Jan. 7 and Jan. 16 and in February the City Council will hear
survey results and public input to decide whether to go forward. If the council opts for pursuing a measure, more outreach will happen in March 2015 followed by a second survey and final council consideration in June or July. In

Correction
The story, Attorneys focus on legal disputes before they
hit court in the Nov. 7 edition of the Daily Journal had an
error. It incorrectly referred to mediation rather than the
court system. The following line is correct: Unlike the
court system in which an outside party ultimately makes a
decision for the parties, the collaborative process allows
disputing individuals to derive their own, mutually acceptable resolution and offers more confidentiality than the
court system.

Nutcracker performer returns to her roots

With hopes of one day using her dance

abilities to heal others, Anna Maravelias is
currently acting as the childrens ballet mistress for Peninsula Ballet Theatre.
Maravelias, a graduate of Carlmont High
School in Belmont, grew up on the
Peninsula with her younger brother and participated in the San Mateo theater groups
production of the Nutcracker herself from
the age of 7 to 17. Now, she works to set up
all the choreography for this seasons performance of The Nutcracker.
Since I started teaching here and had such
as unique insight, it was kind of an easy
transition, said Maravelias, who lives in
San Mateo. Its just a real honor.
She started rehearsing every weekend with
the 37 children in September and she said
its great because the children get a chance
to perform with the professionals.
Currently, Maravelias, 28, is wrapping up
her bachelors degree in dance from San
Francisco State University where she
focused on understanding physiology of
dance, while also taking electives in childhood psychology.
I started dancing when I was 2 and a half,
she said. My parents just tried me in all the
normal sports and thats where I found the
most joy, so I just kept dancing. As Ive kind
of moved on, Ive found that movement has
been the best way to articulate things that
dont necessarily have words. I want to be
able to share that with anyone.
She plans to move on to a graduate program in psychology where she wants to
concentrate on using dance and art as a
means to heal combat soldiers when they
return from active duty. This was born out of
her own personal experience, as she said
she is a widow of a special operations Army
ranger who was killed in the line of duty
back in 2012 after a battle with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression after he
did three tours overseas.
Its a key demographic, she said. I
want to open it up to anyone who can
move.
People are becoming more aware of posttraumatic stress disorder and depression
post-war, she said. Treatment is still pretty
inaccessible though, she added.
It extends to the point of whats covered
by veterans benefits and whats not, she
said. I would want to work with patients
knowing its helping people rather than
making a profit. I think everyone can
benefit from it.
In the future, she hopes to open a private
therapy practice and continue teaching
dance. She teaches 10 ballet classes at the
dance companys school right now.

Prisoners freed quickly

after voters OK measure
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO A ballot measure passed by voters this

week is already freeing California suspects from jail as their
felony charges are reduced to misdemeanors, and people previously convicted of the charges receive reduced sentences as
they appear in court.
Sheriffs across the state immediately began implementing
Proposition 47, which calls for treating shoplifting, forgery,
fraud, petty theft and possession of small amounts of drugs,
including cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines, as misdemeanors instead of felonies.
Two-dozen suspects who were being held on those charges
walked out of Sacramento County jail two days after 58 percent of voters approved the initiative on Tuesday. They were
among the more than 400 Sacramento jail inmates expected
to be freed while they await trial on reduced charges that in
many cases will no longer keep people behind bars after
arrests.
Other sheriffs immediately changed arrest policies while
they reviewed which inmates qualify for release. Meanwhile,
inmates in state prison on the charges can petition for
release.
It appears the measure intended to save hundreds of millions of dollars a year in reduced prison and jail costs is
already having that effect. Under the initiative, savings will
be diverted to rehabilitation programs intended to reduce
crime, though the programs will lag far behind the criminals
release.

Cortese yet to concede

in San Jose mayor race
San Jose mayor candidate Dave
Cortese Friday showed no signs of
conceding Tuesdays election despite
new vote tallies from absentee ballots
showing him still trailing rival Sam
Liccardo by more than 2 percent.
The Santa Clara County Registrar of
Voters revised vote totals Friday after
counting about 30,000 absentee votes
across the county, which included
around 15,000 from within the San
Jose city limits.
As of 5 p.m., Liccardo had 72,974
votes, or 51.29 percent, to 69,301
ballots, equal to 48.71 percent, cast
for Cortese.
The total votes counted in the
mayors race was 142,275, compared
to just over 127,000 tallied as of
Thursday, according to the registrars
website.
Registrar Shannon Bushey said there
were still 45,000 to 75,000 absentee,
or mail-in, ballots left to count from
voters across the county, after voters
dropped off a record 150,000 ballots at
precincts on Election Day.
That was the highest we recorded in
one day, Bushey said.

Liccardo, outgoing member of the
San Jose City Council representing
District 3, on Wednesday declared himself the winner, after leading by two
points, 51 to 49 percent, as of that
morning.
Cortese, a member of the county
Board of Supervisors, did not
announce he was conceding after the
new vote total Friday afternoon and
received kudos for it from supporters
on his campaigns Facebook page.

Consumers to get peek at 2015 health law premiums

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON Starting this weekend,

consumers can get an early peek at 2015
premiums and plans under President Barack
Obamas health care law, the administration
said Friday.
HealthCare.govs second open enrollment season starts Nov. 15, a week from
Saturday. But spokeswoman Lori Lodes said
that consumers will be able to window
shop for plans before then.
Window shopping is ready to go, said
Lodes. There is no log-in or application
required.
After answering a few questions, consumers can look at plans in their area and
get an estimate of how much their premiums
will be, including any financial assistance
they would be eligible for.
Consumers will later have to set up an
account or go back to their existing
account to actually enroll for 2015.
Current customers who do nothing will be
automatically renewed as of Jan. 1, but they
may well miss out on potential savings.
The lack of a window-shopping feature
was one of the initial problems last year for
HealthCare.govs second open enrollment season starts Nov. 15, a week from Saturday.
HealthCare.gov, and a puzzling one.
Most e-commerce sites as well as
Medicare.gov allow people to browse
anonymously and dont require an account

until consumers are ready to buy. As originally designed, the Obama administrations
website worked exactly the opposite way.

That contributed to overloading the balky
system because everybody got funneled
into creating an account, which overtaxed
the system to the point of crashes.
Our top priority this year is to improve
the consumer experience, said Lodes.
One important piece thats still not clear
is the overall trend on premiums. Early
analyses of states that have published rates
show modest increases, with opportunities
for consumers to shop around for lower-premium plans. The catch with the low-cost
options is that people who have a serious
illness or injury will face higher out-ofpocket costs.
The health care law offers taxpayer subsidized coverage to people who dont have
access on the job. HealthCare.gov is the
online portal for 37 states where the federal
government is taking the lead running the
insurance markets. The rest are operating
their own insurance exchanges.
About 7 million people are signed up this
year through the insurance markets. Even
more have gained coverage under the laws
Medicaid expansion for low-income people, which so far has been implemented by
27 states and Washington, District of
Columbia.
A new Supreme Court challenge for Obamacare

By Mark Sherman
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court

agreed Friday to hear a new challenge to
President Barack Obamas health care law
a case that threatens subsidies that help
millions of low- and middle-income people afford their health insurance premiums.
The justices said they will review a federal appeals court ruling that upheld IRS regulations that allow health-insurance tax
credits under the Affordable Care Act for
consumers in all 50 states. Opponents
argue that most of the subsidies are illegal.
The long-running political and legal
campaign to overturn or limit the 2010
health overhaul will be making its second
appearance at the Supreme Court. The justices upheld the heart of the law in a 5-4
decision in 2012 in which Chief Justice

John Roberts provided the decisive vote.
The case probably will be argued the first
week in March, with a decision expected
by late June.
White House press secretary Josh
Earnest promised a vigorous defense
before the high court.
This lawsuit reflects just another partisan attempt to undermine the Affordable
Care Act and to strip millions of American
families of tax credits that Congress
intended for them to have, Earnest said.
In the appeal accepted Friday, opponents
of the subsidies argue that the court should
resolve the issue soon because it involves
billions of dollars in public money.
The need for a quick and final resolution
of this question is undeniable. This subsidies-for-everyone rule affects nearly every
person across the country, health insurance policyholders, workers and employers, taxpayers, and state and local governments, said Sam Kazman, general counsel
of the Competitive Enterprise Institute,
which is paying for the legal challenges to
the health care law.
The health care law provides taxpayersubsidized private health insurance for
people who dont have access to coverage
on the job. More than 7 million people are
currently enrolled and most are getting
help, which is keyed to household income
and the cost of a benchmark plan.
The issue at the Supreme Court is
whether the wording of the law limits
insurance tax credits only to consumers
who live in states that have set up their
own insurance markets, known as
exchanges.
Only 16 states have set up their own

exchanges, the Obama administration said
in court papers. In the other 34 states,
more than 4.5 million people are receiving subsidies to pay their insurance premiums.
And the aid is considerable, covering an
average of 76 percent of the premiums.
Customers now pay an average of $82 on
total monthly premiums averaging $346.
The federal subsidy of $264 a month makes
up the difference.
What made the courts intervention on
Friday surprising was the lack of disagreement among federal appeals courts that
typically is a requirement for Supreme
Court review. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
cited the absence of conflicting rulings
when the justices rejected gay marriage
appeals last month.

Rise of independent voters
Verizon Wireless and privacy

Other voices
The Los Angeles Times
erizon Wireless, the countrys most popular mobile

phone operator, has been
quietly inserting into its customers
Web browsing sessions an identier
unique to each device they use, making it possible for websites and advertising networks to build proles of
individual customers based on their
browsing habits. Whats worse, even
if Verizons subscribers happen to nd
out about this and ask the company to
stop, it wont.
Rather than inviting the rest of the
Internet to violate its customers privacy, Verizon should nd a more
respectful way to generate advertising
dollars.
Ordinarily, Web-browsing apps
reveal little about the people using
them. The typical website tries to
pierce the anonymity by planting a
unique identier called a cookie on
each visitors computer or smartphone, storing information about

what the visitor does while on that
site. So do online advertising networks, which can use the cookies to
track what individuals do on all the
sites that carry their ads. If thats a
troubling prospect, you can set your
browser to erase cookies or prevent
them from being stored on your
machine.
Verizon Wireless, however, has
ipped the process on its head. It
inserts a unique code into the information that each device transmits
through Verizons wireless network as
it browses the Web. The company
then uses the code to sell demographic information (but not names or personal proles) about that customer to
advertisers so they can make their
pitches more relevant to that person.
Meanwhile, those sites and associated
ad networks can collect and use the

code to build a prole of a user even if
he or she is blocking cookies.
Verizon says it changes the codes
regularly to guard against permanent
proles, but thats not much of a concession to its customers privacy
rights. To stop the company from
selling information gleaned about
them, its customers have to opt out of
a program they didnt sign up for in
the rst place. And even opting out
doesnt stop the company from
inserting the identier into their Web
browsing.
AT&T is exploring a similar technique, although it pledges to change
the code daily and let users stop it
from inserting the code at all. Verizon
should do at least that much. Ideally,
though, Verizon and other Internet
providers wouldnt plant identiers in
their customers data without their
explicit consent in advance. If
Verizon doesnt see the problem with
its actions here, the Federal Trade
Commission should enlighten it.
Letters to the editor

Remember the
meaning of Veterans Day
Editor,
Ninety-ve years ago, President
Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11
Armistice Day to commemorate the
end of World War I and the veterans
who served in it. While the name has
changed to Veterans Day, the purpose
remains the same: to celebrate and
commemorate the bravery and sacrice of all U.S. veterans.
While most people recognize veterans one day a year, veterans service
organizations such as the Veterans of
Foreign Wars strive to highlight the
importance of veterans all year round.
It is easy to overlook the role that
veterans play each day in America,
but impossible to forget the ones
who made the ultimate sacrice.
So while you and your family enjoy
a day off, do not forget the real reason
you are able to relax. Take a moment
to stop and thank a veteran or contact
your local Veterans of Foreign Wars
Post for ways to make a difference in
veterans lives on Veterans Day and
throughout the year.

encouragement to their declaration to
get things moving. I write to
remind the general public that a number of things have moved in the past
six years. To name a few: 1). The market has been brought to record highs
in 63 months of economic expansion; 2). Employment is up (the
unemployment percentage went from
10.2 to 5.9); 3). The decit is down
by two-thirds; 4). A major depression
was averted; 5). A health plan was put
in place that is helping millions
reduce health costs; 6). Two women
have been placed on the Supreme
Court; 7). Bin Laden is dead (even
though GW had no more time to think
about him); 8). Gas prices are way
down.
So now, all you winners have to do
is promise not to shut down the government, not to take a two-month
vacation to cancel votes when your
help is needed, and to say yes to
further growth and good times.

Kudos to David Newlands

Editor,
I wish to commend you on your
choice of Dave Newlands to write the
article, The golden years of broadcast, regarding the 50th anniversary
of Radio Station KCSM-FM and
KCSM-TV in the Nov. 3 edition of
The Daily Journal. It was a real pleasure to meet and talk with Newlands
and because of his very comfortable
approach and style of questioning
(and listening) as well as his evident
interest in the subject, the interview
was conducted without a hitch and the
resulting story was totally interesting
and accurate. I was very pleased with
the way in which the story was told in
your paper.
Again, thank you for sending
Newlands to cover the anniversary.

s I began to cast my ballot on Tuesday at the

Lomita Park School in San Bruno, my attention
was drawn to a young mother at the voting
booth to my right. She was accompanied by her son
who could not have been more than 8. He repeatedly
tugged on her arm, anxious to leave the silent, cold gymnasium lled with taller, older men and women in voting
booths exercising their civic duty. Not very entertaining
for an 8-year-old, I thought to myself. Then, she stopped
him and said, Shhh! This is one the most important
things you will ever have an opportunity to do when you
are an adult. The boy shrugged his shoulders and stopped
pouting just long enough for his mother to cast her ballot.
I could not help but grab an I Voted sticker as I left
the polls in pride. Sure enough, on my way out, the
young woman apologized for any inconvenience her loud
son may have caused. I told her
it was no problem. Then, she
took a deeper look at me and
said, didnt you run for ofce
in the spring? I smiled and
nodded, yes. She laughed and
said that she had actually voted
for me, but made it clear that
she was not a Republican. I
asked her if she was a Democrat
and she proudly replied, I
serve no party. I am one of the
few and proud independent voters in California.
Jonathan Madison
That made me think about
how many other Californians share her sentiment and
identify as independents. To my surprise, according to
the Secretary of State Debra Bowen, 2014 marks the
highest number of voters who claim no political party in
our states history. The Secretary of States Ofce reports
23.1 percent of Californias 17.6 million voters are registered independents. Some political pundits may call
this a mere trend or coincidence. I beg to differ and here is
why.
According to a 2014 Gallup poll, 42 percent of
Americans, on average, identied as political independents in 2013. This is the highest in Gallups 25-year
history. As a result, both Republican and Democratic
party identication have declined. Democratic identication is now at 31 percent (down from 36 percent in
2008), while Republican registration is at 25 percent
(down from 28 percent in 2008).
Although it is not uncommon for the number of registered independents to rise during a non-election year, the
trend in recent years shows an uncommonly high trend in
voters separating themselves from both parties.
According to Gallup, the rise in political independence
is likely an outgrowth of Americans record or near-record
negative views of the two major U.S. parties, of
Congress and their low level of trust in government.
According to an ABC News article, when asked about
the impact of independent voters, Todd Eberly, an assistant professor at St. Marys College of Maryland, said,
Independent voters are no myth they matter and
when you include among them independent partisans,
they absolutely sway elections. Indeed, the present and
highly competitive political era in which we are living is
a direct result of a decrease in partisan attachment among
a growing number of voters.
Alongside the growing number of independents in
recent years is the uncommonly high trend of voter disengagement. It is true that many independent voters are
very informed and vote their hearts and minds, rather
than voting based on party afliation or allegiance.
However, the trend in recent years shows that voter disengagement and independent voter registration run in tandem. Here is why it matters.
The trend tells us there is a sense of dissatisfaction
nationwide with the conduct of the two major political
parties driving our country. Some would call this a reection of a dark time in our country, where few people prefer
to identify with a party, and in some cases, not vote at
all. However, I suggest that a sobering injection of reality is never a bad thing. Independent voters never fail to
indicate where our countrys ideology truly lies after the
polls close. Independent voters, in fact, are the linchpin
driving elections. Political parties know this. Both parties spend more money trying to sway independent voters
than any other voter demographic.
The fact is that without independent voices, our country
would be left in the hands of two ideologically split parties. Thus, along with the rise of independent voters
comes an essential check on our political parties
something no Democrat or Republican should take for
granted.

Immigration dispute erupts

during a White House lunch
By Nedra Pickler and Erica Werner
WASHINGTON A White House lunch

aiming for cooperation boiled into a fresh
dispute with newly empowered Republicans
over immigration reform Friday, with GOP
leaders warning President Barack Obama to
his face not to take unilateral action. The
president stood unflinchingly by his plan
to act.
Republicans attending the postelection
lunch at Obamas invitation said they asked
him for more time to work on legislation,
but the president said his patience was running out. He underscored his intent to act on
his own by the end of the year if they dont
approve legislation to ease deportations
before then and send it to him to sign.

The Republicans approach, three days
after they resoundingly won control of the
Senate in midterm elections, seemed to fall
on deaf ears, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas
said in a telephone interview. The president instead of being contrite or saying in
effect to America, I hear you, as a result of
the referendum on his policies that drove
this last election, he seems unmoved and
even defiant.
I dont know why he would want to sabotage his last two years as president by doing
something this provocative, said Cornyn.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell
earlier this week said the presidents stance
was like waving a red flag in front of a
bull.

she should be confirmed this year while
Democrats are in control or next year after
Republicans take over. But the White House
said their hope is she will be confirmed as
soon as possible.
Around the nation
WASHINGTON A senior military official says that American military advisory

teams will now go to Iraqs western Anbar
province where Islamic State militants have
been gaining ground and slaying men,
women and children.
The teams are part of President Barack
Obamas new directive to expand the U.S.
mission in Iraq by deploying another 1,500

U.S. troops to serve as advisers, trainers and
security personnel.
The official said it is likely that the bulk
of the additional troops will be in Iraq by
the end of the year. This would bring the
total U.S. forces in Iraq to about 3,100, and
would mark their first return to Anbar since
the war ended.
Obituary
Winifred Wini Gould Jecker Steiner

August 31, 1913 October 21, 2014
Wini Steiner died peacefully in her sleep after visits
from her family and friends.
Wini was born in England and emigrated with her
family in 1920, eventually settling in Long Beach. Wini
graduated from UC Berkeley in 1935 with a degree in
English. There, she lived at International House where
she met Duroc Albert Jecker, whom she married in 1935.
Duroc died in 1940. Not wanting to teach English to
support their young daughter, Wini earned a BS degree
in home economics at Oregon State.
In 1944 Wini was hired as the rst home economist for the U.C. Cooperative Extension
service for the counties of Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Benito, where she organized
24 community groups of mainly farm wives to conduct workshops on food preservation
and streamlined garment making.
As Santa Clara County changed from rural to urban, she stayed there, where her focus
shifted to consumer information in all areas of home making, home furnishings, money
management, clothing and fabrics and food buying. She conducted short courses and
lecture demonstrations and pioneered a daily radio show on several radio stations, a
weekly column for the San Jose Mercury, and a show on KPIX-TV.
In the 1960s Wini served as a cooperative resource to school nurses, teachers, social
workers, and dietitians. Later she initiated a nutrition program for low income families,
developing cultural and ethnic materials and recipes.
In 1957, Wini married Russell R. Russ Steiner, a local accountant. Shortly after their
retirement in 1972, they moved to Paradise, CA. They traveled everywhere. Both loved
Yosemite, taking their grandchildren on high country trips. Wini founded the Paradise
branch of AAUW, and led AAUW initiatives there and in Chico to benet re-entry women
and research child care for working mothers. Russ died in 1988. Wini then returned to
the Bay Area, settling in the Sequoias Portola Valley in 1993.
Wini took leadership positions in St. Nicholas Episcopal Church in Paradise and St.
Bedes in Menlo Park and was faithful at Christ Church Episcopal, Portola Valley. Wini
the Walker couldnt be missed anywhere, and she celebrated her 80th birthday walking
across her beloved England.
Wini volunteered in many ways to care for students, international visitors, and the
elderly in nursing homes. She founded the Jessie Rau Anderson Scholarship at UC Santa
Cruz in 1965 in honor of her counselor at Long Beach Polytechnic, who lent her $100
so she could start at UC Berkeley in 1933. Wini would take the Anderson Girls out to
lunch for decades after that and maintain a correspondence with many of them. Wini
was known for her elegant style, in manner, clothes, and furnishings, her wide-ranging
travels, love of the outdoors, high energy, and storytelling.
Wini leaves her daughter, Mary Beth (Bruce) Train, two grandchildren, six stepgrandchildren, and ve great grandchildren. A memorial service will be in November.
Memorial contributions may be made through the UC Santa Cruz Foundation.

Al-Qaida millitants
seize villages from
U.S.-backed rebels
By Diaa Hadid
and Bassem Mroue
BEIRUT Al-Qaida-linked
fighters captured at least three villages from Western-backed rebels
in northwestern Syria on Friday as
the militants continued their push
to assert control over an area once
held by more moderate groups.
The Nusra Fronts recent
advances have exposed the weakness of more moderate factions,
which the U.S. hopes to forge into
an effective fighting force against
President Bashar Assads troops.
Underscoring their strength, the
al-Qaida militants seized the three
villages just a day after U. S.
airstrikes hit one of their major
weapons storage compounds in
northwestern Idlib province.
In the past week, the al-Qaida
affiliate has been overrunning
strongholds in Idlib once held by

two prominent rebel factions
armed and trained by the United
States, the Syrian Revolutionaries
Front and Harakat Hazm.
The Nusra fighters on Friday
seized at least three more villages
in Idlib Safuhan, Fatira and
Hazareen and were pushing to
take others, according to a local
activist who goes by his first
name, Alaa al-Deen. The Britainbased Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, which has a network of activists on the ground in
Syria, also reported the same
advances by the Nusra Front.
The capture of the villages may
allow the Nusra Front fighters to
advance onto the last Idlib strongholds held by the Syrian
Revolutionaries Front. It would
also pave the way for them to
seize more rebel-held areas in the
central Syrian province of Hama,

said Alaa al-Deen, who did not
provide his family name fearing
hed be identified by the militants.
He told The Assocaited Press
over Skype that Nusras advances
were a sinister development and
could spell the end of the Free

Syrian Army, the Western-backed
moderate rebels fighting to topple
Assad.
The Nusra Front is a bitter and
bloody rival of the Islamic State
group, which has captured large

swaths of Syria and northwestern
Iraq, despite their shared extremist
ideology.

U.N. nuclear agency report says Iran nuke probe stalled

By George Jahn
and Deb Riechmann
VIENNA The U.N. nuclear

agency said Friday that its
attempts to probe allegations
that Tehran worked on nuclear
weapons were deadlocked a
finding that all but rules out
hopes of full nuclear deal between
six world powers and Iran by the
Nov. 24 target date.
Iran agreed in February to work
with the International Atomic
Energy Agency, in what was seen
as a test of Tehrans professed

new willingness to reduce tensions over its nuclear program.
Since then, the agency has
sought information on alleged
experiments with detonators that
can be used to set off nuclear
explosions; work on high-explosive charges used in nuclear
blasts, and alleged studies on calculating nuclear explosive yields.
Iran denies wanting or ever
working on nuclear arms.
Since February, it has provided
information only on the detonators, insisting that they were used
for oil exploration or nonnuclear military purposes. The

agency says interconnected
information suggests that they
were being tested for nuclear
weapons use.
Iran has not provided any
explanations that enable the
agency to clarify the outstanding
practical measures, said the confidential report from the IAEA
obtained by the Associated Press.
Th e fi n di n g i s s i g n i fi can t i n
reco rdi n g wh ere t h e i n v es t i g at i o n s t an ds fo r t h e U. S. an d
fi v e o t h er wo rl d p o wers n eg o -
t i at i n g wi t h Iran .
The U.S. and its allies say no
final agreement will be reached
until the IAEA says its satisfied
with its inquiry. With the IAEA
investigation stalled, the agency
has little hope of reaching final
conclusions by Nov. 24.
Diplomats have told the
Associated Press that if agreement is reached constraining
Irans uranium enrichment program and other activities that
could be turned to making nuclear
arms Washington was willing
to extend the IAEA investigation.
But they say the U.S. would set

a time limit on any such extension and keep some sanctions on
Tehran in place until the IAEA
delivers its ruling. That would
satisfy neither hardliners in Iran
who want a full lifting of sanctions nor U. S. congressional
critics, particularly after this
weeks Republican sweep of
Congress.
As part of its probe, the IAEA
has for years sought access to
Parchin, a sprawling military
establishment southeast of
Tehran.

WASHINGTON The Veterans Affairs Department is considering disciplinary action against more than 1,000
employees as it struggles to correct systemic problems that
led to long wait times for veterans seeking health care and
falsification of records to cover up delays, VA Secretary
Robert McDonald said.
In an interview with the CBS News program 60 Minutes,
McDonald said the VA is taking aggressive, expeditious disciplinary action, consistent with the law against more than
1,000 of its 315,000 employees.
McDonald said the disciplinary report given to the Veterans
Affairs committees in the House and the Senate has about 35
names on it. Ive got another report that has over 1,000
names, McDonald said.
The interview with 60 Minutes will be broadcast on
Sunday. An excerpt aired Friday on the CBS Evening News.
McDonalds comments represent a departure from his previous public remarks. At a news conference Thursday, he said
the VA has proposed disciplinary action up to an including
firing against more than 40 employees nationwide since
June. Those cases are all related to a scandal over long patient
wait times and manipulation of records to hide the delays.
Judge approves bankruptcy exit plan for Detroit

DETROIT A judge cleared Detroit to emerge from bankruptcy Friday, approving a hard-fought turnaround plan with
a fervent plea to the people of this one-time industrial powerhouse to move past your anger and help fix the Motor
City.
What happened in Detroit must never happen again, federal Judge Steven Rhodes said in bringing the case to a close
a relatively speedy 16 months after Detroit the cradle of
the auto industry became the biggest city in U.S. history
to file for bankruptcy.
The plan calls for cutting retiree pensions by 4.5 percent,
erasing $7 billion of debt and spending $1.7 billion to
demolish thousands of blighted buildings, make the city
safer and improve long-neglected basic services.

Rise of independent voters
Verizon Wireless and privacy

Other voices
The Los Angeles Times
erizon Wireless, the countrys most popular mobile

phone operator, has been
quietly inserting into its customers
Web browsing sessions an identier
unique to each device they use, making it possible for websites and advertising networks to build proles of
individual customers based on their
browsing habits. Whats worse, even
if Verizons subscribers happen to nd
out about this and ask the company to
stop, it wont.
Rather than inviting the rest of the
Internet to violate its customers privacy, Verizon should nd a more
respectful way to generate advertising
dollars.
Ordinarily, Web-browsing apps
reveal little about the people using
them. The typical website tries to
pierce the anonymity by planting a
unique identier called a cookie on
each visitors computer or smartphone, storing information about

what the visitor does while on that
site. So do online advertising networks, which can use the cookies to
track what individuals do on all the
sites that carry their ads. If thats a
troubling prospect, you can set your
browser to erase cookies or prevent
them from being stored on your
machine.
Verizon Wireless, however, has
ipped the process on its head. It
inserts a unique code into the information that each device transmits
through Verizons wireless network as
it browses the Web. The company
then uses the code to sell demographic information (but not names or personal proles) about that customer to
advertisers so they can make their
pitches more relevant to that person.
Meanwhile, those sites and associated
ad networks can collect and use the

code to build a prole of a user even if
he or she is blocking cookies.
Verizon says it changes the codes
regularly to guard against permanent
proles, but thats not much of a concession to its customers privacy
rights. To stop the company from
selling information gleaned about
them, its customers have to opt out of
a program they didnt sign up for in
the rst place. And even opting out
doesnt stop the company from
inserting the identier into their Web
browsing.
AT&T is exploring a similar technique, although it pledges to change
the code daily and let users stop it
from inserting the code at all. Verizon
should do at least that much. Ideally,
though, Verizon and other Internet
providers wouldnt plant identiers in
their customers data without their
explicit consent in advance. If
Verizon doesnt see the problem with
its actions here, the Federal Trade
Commission should enlighten it.
Letters to the editor

Remember the
meaning of Veterans Day
Editor,
Ninety-ve years ago, President
Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11
Armistice Day to commemorate the
end of World War I and the veterans
who served in it. While the name has
changed to Veterans Day, the purpose
remains the same: to celebrate and
commemorate the bravery and sacrice of all U.S. veterans.
While most people recognize veterans one day a year, veterans service
organizations such as the Veterans of
Foreign Wars strive to highlight the
importance of veterans all year round.
It is easy to overlook the role that
veterans play each day in America,
but impossible to forget the ones
who made the ultimate sacrice.
So while you and your family enjoy
a day off, do not forget the real reason
you are able to relax. Take a moment
to stop and thank a veteran or contact
your local Veterans of Foreign Wars
Post for ways to make a difference in
veterans lives on Veterans Day and
throughout the year.

encouragement to their declaration to
get things moving. I write to
remind the general public that a number of things have moved in the past
six years. To name a few: 1). The market has been brought to record highs
in 63 months of economic expansion; 2). Employment is up (the
unemployment percentage went from
10.2 to 5.9); 3). The decit is down
by two-thirds; 4). A major depression
was averted; 5). A health plan was put

Kudos to David Newlands

Editor,
I wish to commend you on your
choice of Dave Newlands to write the
article, The golden years of broadcast, regarding the 50th anniversary
of Radio Station KCSM-FM and
KCSM-TV in the Nov. 3 edition of
The Daily Journal. It was a real pleasure to meet and talk with Newlands
and because of his very comfortable
approach and style of questioning
(and listening) as well as his evident
interest in the subject, the interview
was conducted without a hitch and the
resulting story was totally interesting
and accurate. I was very pleased with
the way in which the story was told in
your paper.
Again, thank you for sending
Newlands to cover the anniversary.

s I began to cast my ballot on Tuesday at the

Lomita Park School in San Bruno, my attention
was drawn to a young mother at the voting
booth to my right. She was accompanied by her son
who could not have been more than 8. He repeatedly
tugged on her arm, anxious to leave the silent, cold gymnasium lled with taller, older men and women in voting
booths exercising their civic duty. Not very entertaining
for an 8-year-old, I thought to myself. Then, she stopped
him and said, Shhh! This is one the most important
things you will ever have an opportunity to do when you
are an adult. The boy shrugged his shoulders and stopped
pouting just long enough for his mother to cast her ballot.
I could not help but grab an I Voted sticker as I left
the polls in pride. Sure enough, on my way out, the
young woman apologized for any inconvenience her loud
son may have caused. I told her
it was no problem. Then, she
took a deeper look at me and
said, didnt you run for ofce
in the spring? I smiled and
nodded, yes. She laughed and
said that she had actually voted
for me, but made it clear that
she was not a Republican. I
asked her if she was a Democrat
and she proudly replied, I
serve no party. I am one of the
few and proud independent voters in California.
Jonathan Madison
That made me think about
how many other Californians share her sentiment and
identify as independents. To my surprise, according to
the Secretary of State Debra Bowen, 2014 marks the
highest number of voters who claim no political party in
our states history. The Secretary of States Ofce reports
23.1 percent of Californias 17.6 million voters are registered independents. Some political pundits may call
this a mere trend or coincidence. I beg to differ and here is
why.
According to a 2014 Gallup poll, 42 percent of
Americans, on average, identied as political independents in 2013. This is the highest in Gallups 25-year
history. As a result, both Republican and Democratic
party identication have declined. Democratic identication is now at 31 percent (down from 36 percent in
2008), while Republican registration is at 25 percent
(down from 28 percent in 2008).
Although it is not uncommon for the number of registered independents to rise during a non-election year, the
trend in recent years shows an uncommonly high trend in
voters separating themselves from both parties.
According to Gallup, the rise in political independence
is likely an outgrowth of Americans record or near-record
negative views of the two major U.S. parties, of
Congress and their low level of trust in government.
According to an ABC News article, when asked about
the impact of independent voters, Todd Eberly, an assistant professor at St. Marys College of Maryland, said,
Independent voters are no myth they matter and
when you include among them independent partisans,
they absolutely sway elections. Indeed, the present and
highly competitive political era in which we are living is
a direct result of a decrease in partisan attachment among
a growing number of voters.
Alongside the growing number of independents in
recent years is the uncommonly high trend of voter disengagement. It is true that many independent voters are
very informed and vote their hearts and minds, rather
than voting based on party afliation or allegiance.
However, the trend in recent years shows that voter disengagement and independent voter registration run in tandem. Here is why it matters.
The trend tells us there is a sense of dissatisfaction
nationwide with the conduct of the two major political
parties driving our country. Some would call this a reection of a dark time in our country, where few people prefer
to identify with a party, and in some cases, not vote at
all. However, I suggest that a sobering injection of reality is never a bad thing. Independent voters never fail to
indicate where our countrys ideology truly lies after the
polls close. Independent voters, in fact, are the linchpin
driving elections. Political parties know this. Both parties spend more money trying to sway independent voters
than any other voter demographic.
The fact is that without independent voices, our country
would be left in the hands of two ideologically split parties. Thus, along with the rise of independent voters
comes an essential check on our political parties
something no Democrat or Republican should take for
granted.

Bruker Corp., down $2.98 to $17.91
The scientific equipment maker reported lower-than-expected quarterly

NEW YORK An encouraging

report on hiring barely fazed the stock
market Friday, leaving indexes with
the slightest of gains. For investors,
good is no longer good enough.
The Labor Department said that U.S.
employers added 214, 000 jobs to
their payrolls in October. That
knocked the unemployment rate down
to 5.8 percent, the lowest rate since
July 2008. But Wall Street wanted
more.
This isnt a bad report by any
means, Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at the brokerage BTIG in New
York, wrote in a note to clients. Nine
months of employers hiring more
than 200,000 workers is obviously an
encouraging trend. But he described
the 214,000 figure as certainly disappointing.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
eked out a gain of 0.71 point to end at
2,031.92. The Dow Jones industrial
average gained 19.46 points, or 0.1
percent, to 17,573.93. Both indexes
closed out the week at record highs.
The Nasdaq composite fell 5. 94
points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,632.53.
The market is priced for perfection
right now, said Brad McMillan, chief
investment officer for Commonwealth
Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for

Commonwealth Financial in Waltham, Massachusetts
Financial in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Thats Wall Street slang for a market
thats so high it appears investors
think everything is going to keep getting better and better. If its not fantastic, it disappoints, he explained.
Similarly, bond traders were betting
that the governments report would
show even stronger hiring last
month, said Tom di Galoma, head of
rates and credit trading at ED&F Man
Capital, a brokerage in New York. So
the actual report rattled the normally
staid Treasury market, pushing the 10year yield down to 2.30 percent from
2.39 percent late Thursday. Comments
from Janet Yellen, the Federal Reserve
Chair, that implied the Fed was in no
rush to raise interest rates helped
press bond yields down.
In other trading, Humana dropped 7
percent after turning in quarterly
results that fell short of forecasts. The
health-insurer attributed the sharp
drop in earnings to its spending on
health care exchanges as well as higher costs for prescription drugs.
Humanas stock fell $9. 29 to
$130.58.
First Solar also turned in third-quarter earnings and sales that missed analysts targets. The maker of solar panels also pared its forecast for 2014
revenue, and its stock sank $6.12, or
11 percent, to $50.29.
Despite some misses, the third-quarter earnings season has turned out better than predicted. Profits are on
course to rise nearly 9 percent for
companies in the S&P 500, according
to S&P Capital IQ. Before results
began to roll in, analysts had forecast
a 6 percent increase.
Among other companies in the
news, Sears Holdings soared following the retailers announcement that it
may form a real estate investment
trust. The plan entails Sears selling up
to 300 buildings then leasing them
back. The stores stock shot up
$10.14, or 31 percent, to $42.81.
In commodities trading, gold rose
$27. 20 to settle at $1, 169. 80 an
ounce, while silver picked up 3 cents
to $15.71 an ounce. Copper added 2
cents to $3.04 per pound.
Solid hiring provides little boost to wages yet

By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Healthy job growth in

the United States has reached a level of consistency unseen in nearly two decades.
In the same week that voters signaled discontent with the U.S. economy, the government issued a report that showed employers
have added at least 200,000 jobs for nine
straight months the longest such stretch
since 1995.
Combine it with an unemployment rate
that has slid to 5.8 percent the lowest
since 2008 and the picture that emerged
Friday was of a job market gaining increasing distance from the recession that officially ended nearly 5 1/2 years ago.
The job gain for October was a solid
214,000, on top of a combined 31,000

more in August and September than the government had previously estimated.
The steady improvement contrasts with
the struggles of economies overseas, a key
reason the Federal Reserve is withdrawing
its stimulus just as other central banks ramp
up theirs. This week, for example, the
European Central Bank opened the door
wider for further help for a eurozone economy that may be on the brink of another
recession.
The U.S. job market is hardly without its
own weaknesses. Americans average
hourly pay rose only slightly last month, a
negative note in an otherwise solid report.
Stagnant wages have been a chronic weakness in the job market since the recession
ended.
Voters listed the economy as their top

concern in Tuesdays elections, and the
sluggish pace of pay growth was a likely
factor. Average hourly pay rose 3 cents in
October to $24.57. Thats just 2 percent
above the average wage 12 months earlier
and barely ahead of a 1.7 percent inflation
rate.
Some economists say, though, that
theyre seeing early signs of rising pay,
especially as more jobs emerge in higherpaying sectors. If so, more workers could
begin to enjoy thicker paychecks in coming months. A broad measure of pay and
fringe benefits, which captures bonus pay
that the jobs reports gauges miss, has risen
in the past six months at its fastest pace
since 2008.
We think that there is plenty of evidence
Yellen pledges clear signals for rate policies

By Greg Keller
and Martin Crutsinger
PARIS Federal Reserve Chair

Janet Yellen said Friday that the Fed is
striving to clearly communicate its
intentions on interest rates in order to
minimize surprises that could disrupt
financial markets both in the United
States and globally.
She said central bank policymakers
understand that moving from a period
of very low interest rates to more normal rates will lead to more volatility in
financial markets.
But she said the normalization of
rates will be an important sign that
economic conditions are finally
emerging from the shadow of the Great

Recession.
Yellens comments came in a speech
at a conference sponsored by the Bank
of France. The Fed last week ended its
bond-buying program but its first
increase in rates is not expected until
mid-2015.
As employment, economic activity
and inflation rates return to normal,
monetary policy will eventually need
to normalize too, although the speed
and timing of this normalization will
likely differ across countries based on
differences in the pace of recovery in
domestic conditions, Yellen said.
For our part, the Federal Reserve
will strive to clearly and transparently
communicate its monetary policy
strategy in order to minimize the likelihood of surprises that could disrupt

financial markets, both at home and
around the world, Yellen said.
Yellen spoke after the Labor
Department in Washington reported
that the U. S. unemployment rate
dropped in October to 5.8 percent, the
lowest point since July 2008, while
the economy added a solid 214,000
jobs.
During a question-and-answer session following her remarks, Yellen
was not asked about Fridays unemployment and she made no comments
during her appearance about the current
state of the U.S. economy or the possible timing of Fed interest rate
moves.
Berkshires earnings down 9 percent from year ago

By Josh Funk
OMAHA, Neb. Warren Buffetts

Berkshire Hathaway reported a 9 percent drop in third-quarter profit versus
the same period a year ago, when the
company had large investment gains.
Berkshire said Friday it earned $4.62
billion, or $2,811 per Class A share.
Thats down from $5.05 billion, or
$3,074 per share, last year.

Revenue grew 10 percent to $51.2
billion. Buffett is chairman and CEO
of the Omaha, Nebraska-based conglomerate.
Berkshire wrote down the value of its
investment in British retailer Tesco by
$678 million. Buffett told CNBC in an
interview last month that the Tesco
investment was a mistake. Berkshire
cut its Tesco stake to less than 3 per-
cent last month, from 5.1 percent last

year.
The Tesco writedown was part of an
overall loss of $107 million on
Berkshires investments and derivatives.
Last year the company had $1.39
billion in investment and derivative
gains related mostly to deals made during the financial crisis, making for a
difficult comparison this year.
to suggest that ... wage growth is accelerating, said Paul Ashworth, an economist at
Capital Economics.
The U. S. unemployment rate fell in
October even as more Americans began
looking for work. That suggests that more
out-of-work people were encouraged by the
brightening jobs picture.
This was a great month for the American
labor market, said James Marple, an economist at TD Bank. The U.S. job engine is
not just chugging along, it is gaining
speed.
Pay gains in some industries are outpacing the national average. For workers in the
hotel, restaurant and entertainment industry, hourly pay has risen 3.5 percent in the
past year. Retail pay has risen 2.6 percent.
So has construction pay.
Business briefs
AT&T says it will buy Mexicos Iusacell for $1.8B
NEW YORK AT&T is buying Mexican wireless company Iusacell for $1.8 billion and plans to grow in Mexico.
The Dallas company said Friday that Iusacell has 8.6 million subscribers under the Iusacell and Unefsn brand names.
AT&T had 116.6 million subscribers as of June 30.
AT&T values the deal at $2.5 billion when debt is included.
The company sees potential for growth in Mexico
because of its rising population and middle class, even as
the proportion of Mexican people with wireless service
lags other Latin American countries, according to AT&T.
Mexico is still in the early stages of mobile Internet
capabilities and adoption, but customer demand for it is
growing rapidly, said AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson in a
statement.
The acquisition could potentially lead to plans that
include free or reduced rates for Americans traveling in or
calling to Mexico, or the other way around. The need to dial
a country code for Mexico likely wouldnt change, as
Mexico doesnt participate in the North American system of
dialing 1 plus the area code.

office is Josh Byrnes, a former GM for

Arizona and San Diego who will supervise
scouting and player development while
Zaidi focuses on the major league roster.
Both guys are going to touch everything, Friedman said by phone from the
Dodgers spring training facility in
Arizona. Were adding an incredibly talented group.
Zaidi is a proponent of advanced analytics, which makes him a solid fit with
Friedmans reputation for building a roster
by crunching numbers.
Farhan has an incredible mind for the
game, Friedman said. For us, information
is king and its about having people who
appreciate that.
In leaving Oakland, where Beanes use of
statistical analysis was portrayed in the
book and movie Moneyball, Zaidi joked:
They actually cut out part of my brain on
that and kept it there.
Zaidi stressed that the Dodgers will seek a
balanced approach between old-school
scouting and modern-day analytics.

LOS ANGELES The Dodgers are busy

revamping their front office, adding general
manager Farhan Zaidi and three more hires
in just more than three weeks since Andrew
Friedman took over as president of baseball
operations.
Friedman was eager to fill several positions ahead of the GM meetings in Arizona
next week.
Zaidi was introduced at Dodger Stadium on
Friday after 10 seasons as assistant GM of
the Oakland Athletics. The 37-year-old, who
holds bachelors and doctorate degrees in
economics, said he will have greater handson management of the Dodgers than he did
in Oakland, where he was more of a sounding board to GM Billy Beane.
Theres such a great amount of potential,
thats what excited me, Zaidi said.

49ers need a win as they visit Saints

By Brett Martel
NEW ORLEANS San Francisco 49ers

coach Jim Harbaugh is generally a man of
few words when speaking about his team.
Sometimes thats all it takes to make a
point.
Were at the halfway point. Were not
where we want to be, and we certainly have
to approach these games as single-game
seasons, Harbaugh said this week, as the
Niners (4-4) prepared to visit the New
Orleans Saints (4-4). Playing our best
football is our goal and winning.
After three straight trips to the NFC title
game, as well as one Super Bowl appearance
two seasons ago, San Francisco certainly
didnt expect to be on the brink of sinking
below .500 at midseason.
The Niners probably cant afford to,
either. Unlike the Saints, who have the luxury of sitting atop the anemic NFC South
despite a lousy start, the 49ers are already
three games behind NFC West Division
leader Arizona (7-1).
San Francisco also trails Dallas (6-3),
Seattle (5-3) and Green Bay (5-3) in the race
for one of the NFCs two wild-card spots.
Another loss could be costly, which is why
Saints quarterback Drew Brees said New
Orleans needs to brace for the Niners best.

In many cases it is not who you play, it
is when you play them, Brees said, alluding to the way his own team rallied for two
straight convincing victories since their 24 start.
They probably feel this week like we did
a couple of weeks ago where you are in desperate need of a win. Because of that, we
know the type of team that is going to come
in here.
New Orleans could lose and still be in first
place if Carolina loses at Philadelphia on
Monday night.
Saints coach Sean Payton knows this, of
course, but he doesnt want to hear it.
There are two teams here that are 4-4,
that are battling, Payton said. Were desperate as well.
Here are some things to know about the
49ers visit to New Orleans:
Ingrams inroads
Saints running back Mark Ingram has
done something in the past two games that
no New Orleans player at his position had
done since Deuce McAllister in 2006: Rush
for 100 yards in consecutive games. Part of
Ingrams increase in production stems from
injuries to Pierre Thomas and Khiry
Robinson, forcing the Saints who aver-
age about 130 yards rushing as a team to

give their former Heisman Trophy winner
the bulk of the carries. But Ingram also
appears to be in top form. The running back
said hes just being confident, being decisive, just understanding what the lines
going to do.
Quiet ground game

San Francisco hasnt scored a touchdown
rushing since rookie Carlos Hydes 6-yard
run in Week 3. While Frank Gore isnt complaining about his lack of carries, he is calling on everyone to do their part. Its
always one person here or one person there
causing plays to break down, said Gore,
who has rushed for 472 yards and just one
TD this season. In the NFL, its just not
going to work. Weve got to be real with
ourselves and go back to everybody taking
care of their job and well be fine. ... Its
real frustrating because have so many
weapons on the offensive side of the ball.
Dome advantage
With Payton on the sideline, the Saints
have virtually unbeatable in the Superdome
for the equivalent of more than two full seasons. Payton has coached the Saints to 20
straight wins in the dome, going 9-0
(including playoffs) in 2011, 8-0 in 2013
and 3-0 so far this season.
Protecting Kap
Niners left tackle Joe Staley said it would
be too simplistic to cite a decline in the running game or a rookie center as reasons for
an increase of sacks taken, or turnovers
committed,
by
quarterback
Colin
Kaepernick. San Franciscos third-year QB
took eight sacks and lost two fumbles in a
13-10 loss to St. Louis last weekend, when
rookie Marcus Martin was making his debut
at center. We have to do a better job of executing whats called. Watching the film, the
plays are there to be made, Staley said.
Speaking of the offensive line, we have to
do a better job protecting the quarterback.
Grahams gains
Saints tight end Jimmy Graham hasnt let
his right shoulder injury limit him for long.
He did not have a catch in his first game
after the injury in Week 7, but during the
past two weeks, Graham has 12 catches for
142 yards and two TDs. He is a tough guy.
He wants to be there for everybody. He is
the ultimate team guy, Brees said of
Graham. His preparation throughout the
week in order to get himself ready, his body
ready, his mind ready to play the game is
pretty tremendous.

Carr looks to follow GATORS

in Mannings path
Continued from page 11
By Josh Dubow
OAKLAND As trying as the

first half of Derek Carrs first NFL
season has been with no wins,
rookie mistakes and the challenge
of adjusting to the pro game, he
can take some comfort when he
looks across the field Sunday.
Because as rough as these first
eight games have been for Carr,
Peyton Manning had it almost as
bad when he made his debut 16
years ago.
Instead of being discouraged by
a 3-13 season and 28 interceptions, Manning learned from it
and became the Super Bowl winning and record-setting quarterback that he is today.
Experience was my best
teacher, Manning said. Theres
no question that I learned a lot of
things that I would not have
learned if I wasnt in there playing. Learn from the good things

and of course youve got to learn
from the mistakes as well. But, I
do think that being in there facing
the live action is really the only
way to learn how to play quarterback in this league.
Carr will get another chance at it
on Sunday when he looks for his
first win when the Raiders (0-8)
host Manning and the Denver
Broncos (6-2).
Carrs first eight games have
slightly better than the start to
Mannings career despite the lack
of team success. He completed a
higher rate of passes (60.7 percent
to 55.1), threw the same number of
TD passes (11), has less than half
of Mannings interceptions (7 vs.
16) and has a superior passer rating (79.8 to 64.5).
The edge for Manning is that he

behind the 8-ball, Lavorato said.

We saw it [that play] earlier. It
was there.
The Gators added a third, secondquarter touchdown in the final
minute of the half when BurrKirven scored his second touchdown of the night, this one a 2yard plunge.
Turns out that would be enough
offense for the Gators on this
night, not that Burlingame (4-1,
8-1) went down without a fight.
The Panthers got a bolt of momentum when Griffin Intrieri took the
second-half kickoff and returned it
78 yards to the SHP 15-yard line.
Two plays later, the Panthers were
finally on the board following a
Palu 8-yard run.
Burlingame, however, just could
not get a stop when it was needed.
After seeing the Panthers score,
the Gators came right back with a
touchdown of it own, needing just
four plays to go 66 yards. On a
second-and-3 from the Burlingame
48, Randall and Daschbach
hooked up again on the same play
THE DAILY JOURNAL

they scored on in the first half.
The result was the same the second time around as Daschbach
grabbed the pass and rumbled the
rest of the way for a 48-yard touchdown and a 28-7 Gators lead.
The Panthers were forced to punt
on their next possession, but they
got the ball back when the defense
recovered a SHP fumble at the
Gators 26-yard line. SHP didnt
give it up easily, but Burlingame
finally found pay dirt when Intrieri
bulled his way into the end zone
from a yard out to cap a eight-play
drive that saw the Panthers convert on fourth down along the way.
The Gators put the nail in the
coffin, however, on their next
drive, a possession that bridged
the third and fourth quarters.
Starting on their own 15, the
Gators methodically drove the
length of the field. SHP needed 15
plays to go 85 yards, overcoming
a number of penalties and converting a fourth-and-3 in the process.
Burr-Kirven culminated the drive
with his third score of the night
this one a 7-yard run with 8:23
to play.
Theyve been knocking on that
PAL Bay Division championship
door for the last few years,
Philipopoulos said. Thats an

excellent football team.

Burlingame managed to rush for
only 74 nearly 200 yards off
their average production this season. Quarterback Avery Gindraux
did a good job of picking up the
slack as he completed 11 of 20
passes for 158 yards. His favorite
target was younger brother Cooper
Gindraux, who finished with eight
catches for 121 yards.
Sacred Heart Prep, on the other
hand, racked up 449 yards of
offense. Randall was efficient
throwing the ball, completing 6
of 7 passes for 196 yards and two
touchdowns. Daschbach was his
favorite weapon, catching four
balls for 125 yards and a pair of
scores.
But the Gators won this game on
the ground, rushing for 253 yards
which is near their season average. Burr-Kirven got the maximum
from the minimum as he rushed for
a game-high 96 yards and three
touchdowns on just nine carries.
He was one of eight Gators to
carry the ball.
[All our running backs] are
good, Lavorato said. My
biggest challenge is finding the
right time to put them in.
Seems any time is the right time
as far as the Gators are concerned.

ARAGON
And despite his weakened condition, not once did Tongamoa give
anything less than 100 percent
effort.
Sell said the plan was to use
Tongamoa mainly on offense to
help fill the void left when Ty
Stokman was lost for the season to
an elbow injury. Sell saw real quick,
however, Tongamoa was going to be
needed big time on defense as
well.
If he didnt play defense, we
would have had a hard time stopping
them,
Sell
said.
Then there was tight end/defensive
end James Fononga. Not only was
he applying constant pressure on
the South City offense, he came up
with two huge catches on a pair of
second-half touchdown drives
none bigger than a 19-yard gain on a
fourth-and-7 from the South City 40yard line. Aragon quarterback Billy
Mason threw to Fononga on a seam
pass, into double coverage. The pass
was put up high enough, however,
so that only Fononga could make
the play. Which he did. Three plays
later, Tongamoa bolted into the end
zone from 10 yards out to all but ice
the game, giving Aragon a 25-14
lead with 1:36 left to play.
Our best players made plays when
they had to, Sell said.
Those big plays started early for
the Dons. Facing a third-and-long

from their own 20 on the first drive
of the game, Mason took the snap
and rolled right. He unleashed a long
pass down the sideline on which
Devin Grant made a finger-tip catch
in stride and then out-ran his defender for an 80-yard score and a 7-0
Aragon lead less than two minutes
into the game.
That would be all for Aragon in the
first half, however, as the Warriors
slowly took control of the game for
the rest of the half.
South City fumbled the ball away
near midfield, but the defense
stopped the Dons on fourth down
deep in the Warriors territory. Then
it was the Warriors turn to dial up the
big play. Facing a first-and-5 at their
own 33, South City quarterback
Kolson Pua pitched the ball back to
Kamelamela. With pressure closing
on him, Kamelamela patiently waited for receiver Jose Galban to get
open. Galban caught Kamelamelas
pass in stride and then he out-ran the
defense for a 67-yard, game-tying
touchdown.
The Warriors then caught a break
on the ensuing kickoff. The ball was
kicked hard on the ground, bounced
off the leg of an Aragon player and
ricocheted right back to South City,
which recovered it at the Aragon 36.
Six plays later, Kamelamela gave
the Warriors a 14-7 lead with less
than a second left in the first quarter.
The Warriors then picked off a
pass on Aragons ensuing possession and appeared poised to go up
two touchdowns before halftime, but

half kickoff. The returner bobbled

the ball and Aragons Chad Franquez
fell on it at the South City 14. Three
plays later, Tongamoa bulled his
way into the end zone from 12 yards
out. The Dons missed the extra point
and still trailed 14-13.
The Dons defense forced South

City to punt on its first second-half
possession and after an adventure
fielding the punt the Dons recovered when the ball bounced off
Filimoehala-Egans helmet the
Dons took over at midfield. Facing a
fourth-and-15 at the Warriors 25,
Mason took to the air again. He
rolled right again and was hit just as
he threw the ball. The ball was headed toward a double-covered
Filimoehala-Egan and a bit
behind. But Filimoehala-Egan
reached back and over the trailing
defender, made the catch and went
into the end zone for a 25-yard score
and the lead for good, 19-14, with
just under five minutes remaining in
the third quarter.
South City had three more drives
the rest of the game. The Warriors
ensuing drive was their most promising, driving to the Aragon 21
before fumbling the ball away. They
drove to Aragon 16 on their next
possession but, on fourth down, the
Warriors fumbled the snap and were
stopped.
The Dons then iced the game on
their next possession, driving 64
yards on nine plays and scoring on
Tongamoas 10-yard run.
South City got a 30-yard field goal
from Angel Nevarez on its final drive
with two seconds left in the game.
That was a huge win, Sell said.
Thats one of the more gratifying
wins. Down 14-7 (at half), it was a
highly concerned team room at halftime.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
RAIDERS
won one of his first eight starts
instead of going winless. But Carr
feels he has made progress and its
only time until the wins come.
A lot of people learn in different ways, but for me I need to be
out there and I need to see it, Carr
said. For me, its been great. Im
looking forward to getting some
wins going on, going into the last
half of the season.
Carr, obviously, has a long way
to go to reach Mannings level.
Manning has won a record five
MVP awards, played in three Super
Bowls, won one title, and has a
record 515 TD passes.
Im glad that I dont play
defense, because I dont think Id
help us much if I did, Carr said.
But, its cool. Its one of those
things that early in the week,
youre like, Wow, thats pretty
cool. But at this point, Im trying
to beat him.
Here are some other things to
watch when the Raiders host the
Broncos:
Class of 98
This game features two of the
three remaining players from the
1998 draft in Manning and Raiders
safety Charles Woodson. Manning
was taken first overall by
Indianapolis that year, while
Woodson went fourth to Oakland
after beating out Manning for the
Heisman Trophy. Sixteen years
later, the two are still near the top
of their games.
He looks the same as when he
got out of college, Manning said.
Leery of letdown
One week after losing a showdown at New England, the Broncos
could be forgiven if they let their
guard down a bit against the winless Raiders.
I dont look at the record, I look
at the film, Manning said. I look
at how were playing. Your job
each week is to study the opponent

and also be sure youre studying
yourselves and seeing what you
need to be doing to improve.
Mack attack
When the Raiders drafted Khalil
Mack fifth overall in May, thencoach Dennis Allen compared him
to Denver linebacker Von Miller.
Mack has mostly lived up to the
expectations, playing dominant
run defense and providing consistent pressure on the quarterback.
The one thing lacking is sacks.
Mack is still looking for his first,
while Miller had 6 1/2 after eight
games.
I know a lot has been made that
he hasnt had a sack, but I think he
might lead the league in holding
penalties versus him, Denver
coach John Fox said. Hes
tremendous and a guy that were
very aware of.
Sack exchange
Miller and DeMarcus Ware form
one of the most feared pass-rushing duos in the NFL. Miller is tied
for second in the NFL with nine
sacks and Ware is just one behind
with eight. They are the eighth set
of teammates to each have at least
eight sacks in the first eight
games and will present quite a
challenge to Carr and his offensive
line.
Grounded
In a season of lows, the Raiders
running game is setting some
marks for futility. Oaklands 18.9
rush attempts per game are the
lowest on record going back to
1932 and the teams average of
65.5 yards rushing per game is the
lowest in the NFL since Detroit
averaged 42.5 yards in 1946. This
week, the Raiders will have to contend with the NFLs stingiest run
defense, allowing just 71.6 yards
per game.

Lead the way

By Mari Andreatta
his weeks mid-term elections had

winners talking about how they
are going to do what they promised
and get things back on track and runnersup conceding with grace and humility, noting that the people have spoken but vowing they will be back. It
prompted thoughts about
leadership and what it
means when it comes to
representation and fulfilling duties. Voters this
week sent a strong message that they werent
happy, leading to lots of
changes in local, state
and federal governments, and made it clear
to the president that they feel promises
havent been delivered. This is democracy at
its finest, but its also disappointing. Those
who are elected are expected to do the things
they say they are going to do. As a student
leader, I take that responsibility seriously
but what does the responsibility really
entail?
A leadership position in high school,
although the structures and functions of student government are different at every
school, is an impactful responsibility.
Student government positions cover many
aspects, including talking about issues with
faculty and staff on behalf of the student
body and participating in discussions at
council meetings, as well as planning rallies and other school-wide events. The
importance of these tasks is that you start
learning how to unite people for a common
goal and get people excited about a collective idea. Student government also allows
you to practice your communication skills
(through debates and speeches), gain selfconfidence and become a better listener. But
our constituents are the only real judges of a
good leader. As the old saying goes, you
arent a leader because you say so but
because people follow you.
When we see the word leader, we all
think of different things. Some may think
of a bold politician making tough decisions
about our economy and foreign affairs and
addressing our country from a podium; others may think of a tour-guide physically

Kid-friendly
superhero fun
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCITAED PRESS
As the Disney-Marvel mash-up Big Hero 6

moves toward its big-action finale, the images will
look strikingly familiar. A supervillain wreaks
havoc. A portal to another dimension looms. A
showdown goes airborne over a metropolis.
It could be the finale of a dozen superhero films,
with one difference: Big Hero 6 is animated. But
the majority of comic-book films are also computergenerated, particularly their large set pieces. Never
has that been clearer than witnessing just how similar such scenes look as out-and-out cartoons. Its a
little like seeing that the superhero has no clothes.
The 3-D Big Hero 6 is loosely based on a littleknown Marvel comic about a team of superheros.
Crafting a more kid-friendly version, Disney (which
owns Marvel) has focused on one of

the heroes, the aptly named Hiro
Hamada (voiced by Ryan Potter).
With his older brother, Tadashi (Daniel
Henney) and their aunt Cass (Maya Rudolph),
the 14-year-old Hiro lives in San Fransokyo, a
beautifully rendered fusion of Tokyo and San
Francisco, full of both nighttime neon and steephilled, Bay-area panoramas.
Hiro, whose parents died when he was a toddler,
is an avid gamer happy to use his technical wizardry hustling unwitting competitors in underground bot fights. His tiny, gingerbread mansized robot makes mincemeat of more hulking
machines.
Tadashi disapproves but doesnt lecture Hiro,

A brilliant Redmayne as Hawking

By Jocelyn Noveck
Eddie Redmayne plays Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything.
The famed British physicist Stephen

Hawking has never had small ideas or small
ambitions, least of all his audacious youthful quest to find a theory of everything
one that would explain the entire universe
in one simple equation.
He may not have found exactly that, but
what Hawking has accomplished, we learn
anew in James Marshs The Theory of
Everything, featuring a superb Eddie
Redmayne, is staggering. Diagnosed with
motor neuron disease at 21, Hawking was
given two years to live. A half century later,
he remains very much alive at 72, and he
and his ideas are known around the world;
his A Brief History of Time has sold more
than 10 million copies.

Its a daunting task to capture such a
remarkable life in one movie, and The
Theory of Everything doesnt totally
escape the typical biopic trap of covering
so much time that no one idea is explored
deeply enough. Add to that the pressure of
having a subject as well-known as
Hawking.
On top of it all, there are the physical
challenges of portraying his progressive
disability, while also channeling the bold,
complex and often impish spirit underneath. All this makes the performance of
the youthful, freckled Redmayne, at 32
playing his first lead in a movie, so exciting, and reminiscent of another British

Call of Duty multiplayer

tops its self-serious story
By Ryan Pearson
Kevin Spacey cant save Call

of Duty from itself. But perhaps
an Iron Man-like exoskeleton
can.
Spacey plays the egomaniacal
leader of a private military corporation in the single-player story
mode of Call of Duty: Advanced
Warfare (Activision, for the PC,
PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4,
Xbox 360 and Xbox One).
Despite often choppy animation
of his performance capture acting,
Spacey lends smarmy gravitas to
his character, the highlight of an
otherwise rote, self-serious,
globe-trotting campaign.
Longtime CoD fans may find
themselves yawning as various
commanders guide player-controlled soldier Jack Mitchell on
an overly familiar series of missions revolving around multiple
terror attacks and shifting allegiances.
The levels are built with
immense graphical polish and
meticulous attention to detail,
but too often feel like theyre

simply ticking boxes required for
a modern first-person shooter.
Youll snipe from afar, get a
sitrep (situation report) and be
advised to let them pass. Youll
fight on a bridge, on an aircraft
carrier, in a forest, at a fancy
resort. Youll fly a plane, rappel
and zip line into battle, and command a turret gun.
Despite the futuristic setting
the plot kicks off in 2054
players still get only minor iterations on core game mechanics
that have changed little since
2007s Modern Warfare. I had
hoped for more from new lead
developer Sledgehammer Games.
The key innovation an
exoskeleton armored suit is
woefully underutilized in the single-player story. Fortunately, its
indispensable and highly customizable in the online multiplayer mode, where most people
spend the vast majority of their
time.
Movement through maps is fundamentally changed by the exosuits ability to swiftly double-

jump and dodge, both accompanied by a satisfying pneumatic
whoosh sound and cool on-screen
blur effects. Unlockable perks
now include temporary cloaking,
health or speed boosts. You can
toss out floating enemy-tracking
robots like grenades.
On the surface, its stuff that
space shooters like Halo have
been doing for years, but theres a
weightiness and sheen to the execution here that more than makes
up for the less-than-stellar singleplayer mode.
Another interesting graphical
change stemming from the exosuit: Multiplayer is refreshingly
bloodless, with the bonus option
of spattering walls and other
players with paintball effects.
New colorful clothing choices
and random loot drops of modified

weapons also show developers
playing catch up to games like
Borderlands, but are welcome
tweaks for CoD loyalists.
Advanced Warfare is a big step
up from last years undercooked,
muddled Ghosts. Heres hoping
for more innovation next time
around.

Blizzard reveals shooter Overwatch at BlizzCon

By Derrik J. Lang
ANAHEIM After tackling online strategy and role-playing games, the company
behind World of Warcraft is taking aim at
the shooter genre.
Blizzard Entertainment Inc. announced
plans Friday to release a multiplayer shootem-up PC game called Overwatch. The
reveal kicked off BlizzCon, the companys
fan-centric celebration where more than
25,000 attendees are competing in game
matches, dressing in costumes and bagging
swag at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Blizzards chief of story and franchise
development,
Chris
Metzen,
said
Overwatch marks the first new franchise
in 17 years from the creator of such long-
running game series as the fantasy roleplaying saga World of Warcraft, gothic
slasher Diablo and sci-fi strategy game
StarCraft.
You guys know that with Blizzard
games, we like to find genres and game
types that were in love with and take the
best elements of those and really amplify
it, game director Jeff Kaplan told the
BlizzCon crowd. You saw us do that with a
strategy genre, a massively multiplayer
online game, and most recently a collectable card game.
Overwatch will feature original superhero-like characters with various skills
such as mechanized gorilla Winston,
winged healer Mercy and robotic monk
Bastion blasting each other in six-versus-six matches on a futuristic, cartoony

rendition of Earth.
The story takes place something like 60
years in the future, Metzen said. Its far
enough in the future that we have flying
cars, ray guns and all the technology youd
want to have, but its not far enough that it
feels too exotic.
A beta test for Overwatch will launch in
2015 and a demonstration of the game is
available at the convention this weekend,
Metzen said.
Overwatch will join Blizzards growing
game portfolio, which includes such newcomers as the Warcraft-themed collectable card game Hearthstone and the battle
arena game Heroes of the Storm featuring
characters from other Blizzard games.
Blizzard also announced plans Friday for
the first Hearthstone expansion and a ver-
sion coming to the Android devices.

The developers declined to specify
whether the business model of Overwatch
would be subscription-based like World of
Warcraft, free-to-play like Hearthstone
or stand-alone like Diablo.
Blizzard is a division of Activision
Blizzard Inc., which publishes the first-person shooters Destiny and Call of Duty.
The company said during its earnings call
Tuesday that strong sales of Destiny and
World of Warcraft led to better-thanexpected results for its third quarter and
raised its full-year forecast.
Blizzard said it had 7.4 million World of
Warcraft subscribers as of Sept. 30, ahead
of next weeks release of the Warlords of
Draenor expansion. At its peak, the game
had 12 million subscribers in 2010.

Robin Williams autopsy found no illegal drugs

By Kristen J. Bender
SAN FRANCISCO Robin Williams

autopsy found no alcohol or illegal drugs
were in his body when he killed himself at
his Northern California home in August,
sheriffs officials said Friday.
The results released by the Marin County
sheriffs office found that the actor had
taken prescription medications, but in
therapeutic concentrations.
The coroner ruled Williams death a suicide that resulted from asphyxia due to

invention. Hes wowed by Tadashis schoolmates Wasabi (Damon Wayans Jr. ),

their gizmos.
None is more impressive than Tadashis

leading a group of people to their desired
destination. To me, a leader is someone who
is more concerned with doing the right
thing rather than doing things just right.
Not that doing things just right isnt nice
too but, more importantly, leadership is
hanging.
Sheriffs officials have
said Williams was found
in the bedroom of his
home in Tiburon on the
morning of Aug. 11. His
death had been preliminarily ruled a suicide,
with sheriffs officials
Robin Williams saying he hanged himself with a belt.
Williams wife, Susan Schneider, has said
the actor and comedian was struggling with
depression, anxiety and a recent
Parkinsons diagnosis when his personal

assistant found him dead.
Williams had publicly acknowledged
periodic struggles with substance abuse,
and he had entered a substance abuse program shortly before his death. According to
the coroners report, his wife told an investigator Williams did not go there because of
recent drug or alcohol abuse, but rather to
reaffirm the principles of his rehabilitation.
According to his wife, Williams was having trouble sleeping and had shown
increased signs of paranoia before he com-
mitted suicide, the autopsy report said.

Medical records confirmed he was diagnosed
with Parkinsons disease in November
2013 but had symptoms since 2011, including a left arm tremor and the slowing of left
hand movements. Treatments with drugs in
May 2014 led to some improvement,
according to the report, and he remained
physically active until his death.

In short, hes an irresistible Disney supporting player, one who will give Groot,
the soulful treelike alien of Guardians of
the Galaxy, a run for sidekick-of-the-year.
After a mysterious fiery accident at an
invention showcase, Hiro and Baymax set
off on an adventure that will gradually gather all the expected superhero conventions,
slowly draining the movies innovative
Silicon Valley spirit.
So buoyant is the first half of Big Hero
6 and so colorful is its bright, Japanese
anime-inspired palette, that the films slide
into familiar comic book-movie ruts comes
as a disappointment. Could it not have
stayed in its rich robotics world as a hightech high-school tale? Are such Earth-bound
stories no longer possible for big-studio
animation? Cant a kid grow up without flying up?
Directed by Don Hall (Winnie the Pooh)
and Chris Williams (Bolt), Big Hero 6
is a fine blend of sweetness and spectacle,
East and West. The meeting of Disney and

Marvel sensibilities, though, is a more
mixed union. When the young Hiro and the
lovable Baymax strap on the body armor,
girding for battle, the movies charms are
camouflaged.
Big Hero 6 is preceded by a lovely little
short, Feast, a tale of a Boston Terriers
devotion to his owner, told exclusively, and
cleverly, through mealtime. It makes for a
tasty appetizer.
Big Hero 6, a Disney release, is rated PG

about making honorable decisions to satisfy the most people possible.

Despite what I once believed, a leaders
job is not to make everyone happy thats
impossible. Do you have to listen to your
constituents ideas, even when they dont
line up with your own? Yes, but you can then
debate those, adjust your own idea and seek
a compromise, or go back and do more work
on solutions. That is what a representative
is expected to faithfully do.
When you get elected to an office, your
job is to do all the things you promised you

would try to do for voters. Bragging rights
or another line on your resume are not
acceptable reasons to run for a leadership
position: If you dont work at it or dont
care about the responsibility, you wont
have a successful term. Just like student
government in high school, if youre elected to a position in large-scale government
and dont uphold the election promises,
people will notice (for example: President
Obamas current voter approval rating). So
whether you are a current student leader or

thinking about getting involved in student
government in the future, always keep your
word, uphold your promises, lead by example and follow an honest, open process
when making decisions.

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
VENICE IN THE DES ERT: THE

QUEEN OF THE ADRIATIC REIGNS
IN LAS VEGAS . The Venetian Hotel
began with a honeymoon. Las Vegas Sands
Corporations founding chairman and CEO
Sheldon G. Adelson and his wife Miriam
were on their honeymoon in Venice, Italy,
when they came up with the idea to bring
the most famous aspects of that city to Las
Vegas. Keith Salwoski, executive director
of public relations for The Venetian and
The Palazzo Las Vegas, said, The
Venetian was built by Mr. Sheldon
Adelson as a gift to his wife. The two honeymooned in Venice and Dr. Miriam
Adelson fell so in love with the city, Mr.
Adelson decided to recreate it for her here
in Las Vegas. Mr. Adelson was very careful
to ensure that the Las Vegas version was
created as accurate as possible, and not a
caricature of Venice. Designers spent a lot
of time in Venice to get it just right.
Today, visitors to The Venetian can enjoy
taking a leisurely stroll through and by
architectural replicas of various landmarks
of the real Venice, including the Palazzo
Ducale, Piazza San Marco, Piazzetta di San
Marco, the Lion of Venice Column & the
Column of Saint Theodore, St. Marks
Campanile and the Rialto Bridge.
TAKE A WALK: S ELF- GUIDED
TOURS SHOW YOU THE SIGHTS.
Stop at The Venetians concierge desk in
the lobby and pick up a copy of a detailed
15-page illustrated self-guided tour of the
art and architecture of The Venetian. The
walk starts a few steps away at the glorious golden Armillary Sphere, of the type
used for centuries to study the sky and the
celestial system. As you stand next to the
Sphere, look up. Installed inside the dramatic dome directly above you is a dazzling reproduction of Giambattista
Tiepolos Four Heroic Episodes. The original was painted around 1725 for Palazzo
Sandi in Venice and the duplicate in the

hotels dome was hand painted by Italian
artisans. The tour leads through the hotels
expansive main colonnade, lined with 25foot-high columns of solid Botticino marble. And on you proceed, to The Bridge of
Sighs, the faade of the Doges Palace and
the Campanile, each of which faithfully
represents its original counterpart. Along
the way are reproductions of frescoes,
sculptures and bas reliefs by Paolo
Veronese and other Italian masters. At the
core of The Venetian is St. Marks Square,
or a carefully crafted semblance thereof,
complete with sidewalk cafes and a high,
arching sky spread with clouds that
change color, reflecting the time of day.
GLIDE IN A GONDOLA. No trip to
Venice or The Venetian would be
complete without a graceful and romantic
glide down the Grand Canal in an authentic
Venetian gondola. Float beneath bridges,
beside cafes, under balconies and through
the vibrant Venetian streetscape as a
singing gondolier takes you for a ride like
no other. Two gondola routes are available: the outside gondola goes under the
famous Rialto Bridge and by St. Marks
Campanile and the inside route crosses a
lake next to the Grand Canal Shoppes that
surround St. Marks Square. Both private
and shared rides are available. (Ask about
the white gondola for weddings.)

Prosecutors drop charge

against AC/DCs Phil Rudd
By Nick Perry
WELLINGTON, New Zealand New

Zealand authorities made an embarrassing
about-face on Friday when prosecutors
dropped a murder-for-hire charge against
AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, saying there was
not enough evidence to proceed.
But the 60-year-old member of the popular
Australian band still faces a serious charge
of threatening to kill, which comes with a
maximum prison term of seven years. He
also faces charges of possessing methamphetamine and marijuana.
Police had initially accused Rudd of trying
to arrange for a hit man to carry out two
killings, and had charged him with attempting to procure murder, which comes with a
maximum 10-year sentence. But when prosecutors took over the case, they quickly
dropped the charge.
The file was obtained

today and reviewed,
Tauranga Crown Solicitor
Greg Hollister-Jones said
in a statement Friday,
adding he had made the
decision that there was
insufficient evidence to
proceed with the charge of

Rudds lawyer, Paul Mabey, said the damage to his client had been incalculable and
he was considering possible remedies.
The charge alleging an attempt to procure murder should never have been laid,
Mabey said in a statement, adding, Mr.

damaging publicity as a result of widespread
and sensational reporting of a very serious

justified.

Playing Hawking a complex equation for Redmayne

By Jake Coyle
TORONTO Time is relative, especially

for young actors tasked with playing brilliant theoretical physicists.
Eddie Redmayne estimates that the euphoria of being cast as Stephen Hawking for the
film The Theory of Everything lasted a
millisecond. Then came the overwhelming
fear.
And that fear remained the whole way
through the process, Redmayne said in an
interview earlier this fall.
The gentle, freckled 32-year-old British
actor was asked to not only lead a film for
the first time, but to play a mathematical
genius across decades of physical degeneration - all under the watchful gaze of said
mathematical genius. Ahead of screening
The Theory of Everything, Hawking ominously told Redmayne: Ill tell you want I
think, good or otherwise.
With such pressure, Redmayne could be
forgiven for quietly slipping into the nearest black hole.
But in the years most technically complex role, Redmayne gives whats surely the
performance of his young career, one that
seeks to capture not only the step-by-step
disintegration of ALS that led Hawking
from healthy youth to paralyzed adulthood,
but (and more importantly) the scientists
unvanquished spirit, the unimpeded expansion of his imagination.
He was given a death sentence, says
Redmayne, referring to the diagnosis given
Hawking as a 21-year-old, when he was
expected to live only a few years more. Now
72, he went on to father three children,
marry twice and author significant discoveries in cosmology as in the best-selling A
Brief History of Time. So you live every
single moment to the full, and thats what I
wanted an audience to leave with. Thats
what I left this experience with.
Eddie Redmayne poses during The Theory of Everything premiere in Beverly Hills.
Director James Marsh (Man on Wire)
remembers well his first meeting with
Redmayne, a London native best known for
his Tony-winning turn in John Logans
Red and his tender revolutionary Marius
in Les Miserables. One pint turned to
five, the conversation going into the
night.
He was just full of ideas and passion for
this, says Marsh. He knew somewhat
what this might entail in terms of preparation and physicality. Eddies crazily ambitious. Hes not ambitious for money or
fame. Hes ambitious to do great work. Hes
fearless, too. It was a real leap into the dark
for him.
The Theory of Everything is based on
Jane Wilde Hawkings 2007 memoir

Traveling to Infinite: My Life With
Stephen. Aside from a biopic, its a portrait of an uncommon marriage. Felicity
Jones pays Jane, whom Hawking met at
Cambridge University in the early `60s.
The film begins with their early
courtship, which coincided with the discovery of a motor neuron disease in Hawking.
Redmayne plays each stage of Hawkings
increasing disability, going from a lame leg
to a walking stick, to two sticks, to a wheel
chair. Gradually he loses his voice, his
body language, his facial expressions.
It felt like solving a puzzle, says
Redmayne.
Redmayne spent four months researching, working on the physicality and feebly
studying Hawkings physics. He trained
THEORY
actors memorable performance at the same
age Daniel Day-Lewis, in My Left
Foot.
We begin at Cambridge in 1963, with
Stephen, a young graduate student in cosmology, exuberantly racing his bike around
town, goofy and gangly, with huge black
glasses and an oversized grin to match.
At a party, he spies the winsome Jane
(Felicity Jones, thoughtful and touching
here), and sets about pursuing her. Love
blooms, and lifes possibilities appear as
boundless as the universe whether or not
it has boundaries is a key question here
until Stephen starts experiencing marked
clumsiness. After a bad fall, hes diagnosed
with ALS, which will result in gradual muscular degeneration.
What about the brain? he asks. Youll
have the same thoughts, comes the reply,
only eventually, no one will know what
they are.
Stephen falls into a deep depression,
saved only by Janes stubborn love. Thus
begins a marriage that will last a quartercentury, produce three children and test
Janes physical and emotional endurance to
the limits (the film is based on Jane
Hawkings second memoir, adapted by
screenwriter Anthony McCarten.)
It will also survive Hawkings near-death
with a choreographer, met with academics

(Redmayne also went to Cambridge), visited with many ALS sufferers and had an
expert study old photos of Hawking to trace
the diseases effects.
There were moments along the way
where I know he felt really, really defeated,
says Marsh.
To guide him, Redmayne posted three
photos in his trailer: Albert Einstein, James
Dean (since Hawking was, Redmayne says,
a ladies man), and a joker playing card, to
capture Hawkings playful side. If youre in
a room with him, hes definitely running
the room, says Redmayne.
But aside from all the technical challenges, Redmayne imbues Hawking with a
sly mischievousness. Much of the performance is in a glint behind his eyes.
What emanates from him when you meet
him is this kind of wit and humor, says
Redmayne. Even though he can move so
few muscles, he has one of the most charismatic, expressive faces youve ever seen,
which is a weird irony. There were many
things I found out from meeting with him,
but one of the overall things I took away
was finding he does not live a disease. He
lives forward and has done since he was 21
years old. Theres an unerring optimism to
him. That meant every single scene, even
when obstacles are being through, find the
funny, find the glint.
When Hawking saw the film a few weeks
before its premiere at the Toronto Film
Festival, he judged it broadly true. But he
offered a personal endorsement, giving
Marsh his unique computer-generated voice
to use in the film.
Redmayne, widely considered a lock for
an Oscar nomination, has plans to star in
the next film by Tom Hooper (Les
Miserables, The Kings Speech). But he
hasnt worked since filming The Theory of
Everything. The gravity of the part, for
which he lost some 20 lbs., is slowly
falling off him.
He sighs. I had many glasses of wine
after.
from pneumonia. A tracheotomy saves his
life but deprives him of the ability to speak,
leading to his famous computer-generated
voice.
Redmayne, relying on less and less of his
body, succeeds in expressing more and more
with his eyebrows, his eyes, and that
broad smile, showing what a humorous man
Hawking can be. Hes heartbreaking,
though, in the scene where he essentially
ends his marriage, informing Jane that hes
asked his perky nurse, Elaine Mason
(Maxine Peake) to travel to America with
him.
Elaine will become Hawkings second
wife. Jane, meanwhile, will marry a family
friend to whom shes grown close over the
years. The various relationships feel somewhat airbrushed perhaps not surprising
given that the film is based on one persons
memoir.
What shines through loud and clear,
though, is the humanity in Hawkings
incredible story. However bad life may
seem, where there is life, there is hope, the
physicist tells an audience, and that line
could seem hokey in some circumstances,
but not here. If anyone gets to say that, its
Stephen Hawking, so eloquently embodied
in this film.
The Theory of Everything, a Focus
Features release, is rated PG-13 by the
Motion Picture Association of America for
some thematic elements and suggestive
material. Running time: 123 minutes.

Easing of Saudi driving ban possible

By Abdullah Al-Shihri
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Its only for

women over 30, who must be off the road by
8 p.m. and cannot wear makeup behind the
wheel. But its still a startling shift.
The Saudi kings advisory council has recommended that the government lift its ban
on female drivers, a member of the council
told the Associated Press Friday.
GOP
heard from voters of all political persuasion, theyd ask me the question, Where
are you on BART strike? And what will
you do about it because that affected my
family, my ability to get to work and live
my daily life? It affected everyone in the
Bay Area. So it absolutely was an issue in
this race.
Last year, Gov. Jerry Brown ordered a 60day cooling off period for management and
the BART union to negotiate a new contract but did not support legislation proposed by GOP lawmakers to strip the union
of its right to strike. A strike ensued, disrupting commutes.
The Sbranti campaign did not immediate-
BOND
August, the council will finalize the ballot
language.
The bond money the amount of which
is still to be determined would be used
those, a brother or son. They would be

allowed to drive from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on
Saturday through Wednesday and noon to 8
p.m. on Thursday and Friday, the weekend
in the kingdom.
There have been small but increasingly

bold protests by women who took to their
cars over the past year. The driving ban,
which is unique in the world, is imposed
because the kingdoms ultraconservative
Muslim clerics say licentiousness will
spread if women drive.

The council member said the Shura
Council made the recommendations in a
secret, closed session held in the past
month. The member spoke on condition of
anonymity because the recommendations
had not been made public.
Under the recommendations, only women
over 30 would be allowed to drive and they
would need permission from a male relative
usually a husband or father, but lacking
ly respond to telephone and email messages left late Friday.

Assembly Minority Leader Kristin
Olsen, R-Modesto said Tuesdays election
was the first time Republicans had unseated
an incumbent Democrat in the Legislature
in 20 years. With a handful of other races
remaining uncalled, the GOP could end up
unseating as many as three incumbent
Democrats in the Assembly alone.
Californians believe in checks and balances, Olsen said. This is the first step
toward greater balance.
Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San
Diego, said despite a strong ground campaign, the results represented a worst-case
scenario of the various possibilities
Democrats considered before Election Day.
She downplayed the significance of the
threshold, saying the party didnt use the
supermajoritys power even when it had it.
At the end of the day, with the effort we
have, we cant force people to vote,

Atkins said.
Another closely watched Assembly race
that
remained
uncalled
involved
Democratic incumbent Al Muratsuchi, who
was trailing Republican challenger David
Hadley in the 66th Assembly District,
which covers coastal Los Angeles County.
Republican Young Kim won the 65th
Assembly District seat in Orange County
from Democratic incumbent Sharon QuirkSilva with 56 percent of the vote. And
Democratic freshman Steve Fox lost his
36th Assembly District seat in the
Palmdale-Lancaster area to GOP opponent
Tom Lackey, who had 61 percent of the
vote.
Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff said the
GOP focused on matching candidates who
best reflect their communities and made an
effort to diversify the partys bench.
Orange County Supervisor Janet
Nguyen, a Republican, becomes the first

Vietnamese-American woman elected to
the Legislature. She won 60 percent support in the 34th Senate District over former Assemblyman Jose Solorio.
In the Central Valley, Republican state
Sen. Andy Vidak overcame a voter disadvantage from Democratic candidate Luis
Chavez.
During the last session, Democrats in
the Senate fell below a supermajority after
two termed-out lawmakers were indicted on
federal bribery and corruption charges. A
third, Sen. Rod Wright, resigned in
September after he was sentenced to three
months in jail for lying about where he
lived when he ran for office.
Democrats had hoped to recapture supermajorities in both legislative houses. Of
the 120 legislative seats in the Assembly
and Senate, 100 were up for grabs in
Tuesdays general election.
toward a list of seven goals compiled by

the City Council in September: coordinate
shuttle services like Uber and Lyft; create a
development on El Camino Real with public parking, housing and retail; move
most government services online; buy the
Black Mountain property for potential
open space; create park and recreation
facilities for skating or dogs, build an
aquatic center and create more office space.
Existing city staff is already stretched

with existing large-scale projects like the
Transit Village which is why City
Manager Jeff Maltbie asked for the halfmillion dollars toward extra staff.

The Shura Councils recommendations are

not obligatory on the government, but simply making the recommendation was a
major step after years of the kingdom
staunchly rejecting any review of the ban.
The conditions also require that a woman

driver wear conservative dress and no makeup, the official said. Within cities, they can
drive without a male relative in the car, but
outside of cities, a male is required to be
present.

SURF
big waves with hardly any other
women around, said Sarah Gerhardt,
the first woman to surf Mavericks. I
just thought it was such an incredible
opportunity to be encouraged and
inspired and get to share something
that I really love and enjoy with a
female presence instead of a male presence, which is completely different.
Although the event culminates in
Half Moon Bay, the real action is
being compiled by the women who are
inviting the public to take a personal
look at their lives as they film their
day-to-day activities, surf sessions,
workout routines and more. These
Super Sessions are being filmed by
the 15 invitees from all over the world
and offer compelling footage from
breaks like Jaws and Waimea Bay in
Hawaii, Ocean Beach, Mavericks and
more.
There are amazing spots around the
world. But this idea of Super Sessions,
this idea of us women in our own
unique environment, feeling it, recording it, allowing people to come into
our world, thats what the Supper
Session is about, said Gerhardt, 40.
Local big wave surfer, Titans of
Mavericks competitor and cinematographer Grant Washburn, 46, said he
was instantly intrigued by the WickrX
concept and is thrilled to be working
on the project.
This sport in particular is very visual. Motion picture is a great way to
share what we do, Washburn said.
You can get to know them and in any
of these things, when we do film, you
want to relate to the characters, the
person on screen, then when you
watch someone, its more vicarious,
youre more invested.
Perhaps the most influential aspect
of WickrXs rendition of Mavericks is
SOFITEL
resumed operations Friday after environmental health staff verified containment and prevention measures like
cleaning and training were completed,
according to Health System spokeswoman Robyn Thaw.
An initial inspection of the hotels
food operations did not turn up any
suspicious health code violations
linked to food-borne illness and an
epidemiologist retained by the Sofitel
at that time said the symptoms indicated the possibility of norovirus.
The outbreak began Sunday, Oct. 26
WEEKEND JOURNAL
highlighting women who are already
outnumbered and often overshadowed
in the surfing sphere, Washburn and
Gerhardt said.
Organizers of the recently revamped
Titans of Mavericks invitational competition considered Gerhardt during the
first-round draft and Santa Cruzs
Savannah Shaughnessy during the second round. Although there are still two
wild card spots they could take, the
WickrX event will highlight these rare
women who brave waves with the
boys.
If you want to surf big waves, kind
of like if you want to climb big mountains or ski big hills or whatever, you
have to have a lot of surfing experience. It takes anywhere from five to 10
years to really have the confidence and
the strength and the knowledge of the
ocean, Gerhardt said. So you have a
small population in general that wants
to go into the ocean and feels exhilarated in those kinds of conditions.
There are fewer women [surfers] in general, [but] I dont know if thats always
going to be the case.
Making a living off of big wave surfing and sponsorships is difficult for
anyone and often these extreme athletes are paying their own way while
they travel the world chasing swells.
The WickrX event is providing these
women with exposure, a stipend and an
expenses-paid opportunity to meet
with their like-minded comrades.
The idea was How can we help
these girls? What can we do? What do
they like? What do they want to do?...
My favorite part of big wave riding, as
much as its fun to ride waves by yourself, its more fun with your friends,
Washburn said. Everyone who rides
big waves is giving up a lot and mostly theyre spending money on it, not
making money. And thats especially
true to women.
Wickr, a messaging app that claims
it encrypts data shared by the users
making their exchanges untraceable,
is sponsoring the Mavericks event
through its newly created WickrX

Foundation. The organization is dedicated to advancing, promoting and
supporting human greatness and evolution in all its forms, according to
the
company.
Washburn
said
Mavericks could be a one-time event
for the company as the foundation is
considering branching out into other
sports.
The WickrX Mavericks invitational
wont involve closing the waves or
the beach and the participants will
likely surf in small batches along with
whoever else happens to be in the
water, Gerhardt said.
In the meantime, the women of
Mavericks will continue to post their
personalized videos online and, after
convening to paddle out in Half Moon
Bay, nominate each others videos in
various categories, Washburn said.
There are cash prizes but there will be
no winner per se, Washburn said.
Eventually, the entire months-long
event will be edited and turned into a
live two-hour broadcast celebrating
the fearless women who invest themselves in big wave surfing.
Gerhardt, a mother of two and teacher
with a doctorate in chemistry, said
shes thrilled to be provided with an
opportunity to promote and highlight
the exceptional women who ride
giants.
There isnt much support or much
sponsorship for women who are surfing big waves and want to pursue it as
a career and the really amazing thing
about the Wickr event, theyre going
to be supporting us coming to the
event and were all going to get to be
together and hang out, Gerhardt said.
Its kind of a bigger project than just
a one-day event. So I think itll give a
bigger picture of the people involved
pursing their passions and surfing big
waves.
when attendees at a NAACP conference

became ill from dinner the previous
night. At least a dozen were taken by
ambulance to emergency rooms and
other transported themselves. Two
other events at the hotel led to more
illness and the total now stands at 60
guests and employees as of Nov. 5,
Thaw said.
Highly contagious norovirus symptoms include nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea and is spread through food,
water or touching a contaminated surface. Several samples taken at the
hotel tested positive for norovirus and
theyve been forwarded to the
California Department of Public
Health to determine if the three events
linked to the illness have a common
cause. State public health staff are also
helping interview those who reported

being ill. Results are expected back
within the next several weeks.
Norovirus is the most common cause
of acute gastroenteritis in the United
States, causing 10 million to 12 million illnesses, 56,000 to 71,000 hospitalizations and 570 to 800 deaths,
according to Thaws data.
Since the outbreak, county health
staff have worked with hotel management to frequently sanitize all common areas, post signs reminding
workers and guests about hand washing and teach staff about norovirus.
The hotel is also required to report any
new gastrointestinal illness and
require sick employees to stay home
until they are symptom free for 72
hours.

ANSWERS
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2014

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A misunderstanding
or miscommunication between you and a partner will
have to be remedied if you are going to move forward.
A calm discussion will clear the air.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) A disagreeable
attitude will compromise your position. Be known
for your talents, not your irritability. Dependability
and consistency will bring personal and financial
rewards your way.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) No matter whom
you are dealing with, if an agreement is drawn up, you
must read the fine print. Dont make impulsive deals

Each row and each column must contain the

numbers 1 through 6 without repeating.

that might cause personal or family setbacks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Compromise will be
called for when dealing with partners. Go out of your way
to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Get whatever
you agree on in writing to avoid future problems.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Household matters
will take precedence. Make home improvements
that will increase your comfort, convenience and
family enjoyment. Host a gathering of friends and
family at your place.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Make an appointment
with a financial adviser to look over investment
possibilities. There are ways to improve your
monetary situation, and now is an opportune time to
alter your financial outlook.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Stubbornness will be

your downfall. Insistence on doing things your way
will have a detrimental effect on your personal and
professional partnerships. If you cannot agree, youd
be better off moving forward alone.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your dreams of
promotion will diminish if you get involved in office
politics or gossip. You may not agree with some rules
and regulations, but you need to follow them.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Frivolous spending
can damage your financial security. Before you
spend, question whether you really need to make
the purchase. Youll feel better with less stuff and
more money in the bank.

offense; just make it very clear that you dont want
anyone interfering in your personal life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Put your house in
order. Gather up instruction manuals and related
warranties or guarantees. Reorganize your
important papers and discard possessions or
records that are no longer relevant.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Friction and hostility
between family members will prey on your mind.
Scrutinize your own actions before putting blame
elsewhere. Criticizing is irritating, whereas finding a
solution and fi xing the problem is thoughtful.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Natalino Marchi
Case Number: 124709
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Natalino Marchi. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Peter
Marchi in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Peter Marchi
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the descedants will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: November 18, 2014
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
