Caltrain electrification delayed, price rises

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A much-touted project to modernize the

Caltrain line with more efficient electrified
trains is being delayed up to 18 months and
the price is rising from $1.45 billion to a
projected $1.7 billion to $1.76 billion, the
transit agency announced Thursday.
The cost for electrification now is projected to be between $1.47 billion and $1.5
billion. The previous projection, originally
calculated in 2008, was $1.2 billion. With
the new figures, the projected cost for the
total Caltrain Modernization, or CalMod,
program is $1.7 billion to $1.76 billion.
The previous cost projection was $1.45 billion. The projected cost of the new signal
system, CBOSS PTC, which is part of the
CalMod Program, is unchanged at $231 million. The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers
Board also received a new projection that
electrified service will begin between the
winter 2020 and the spring 2021. The original projection for the electrified service to
begin was the winter 2019, according to the
transit agency.

We are all anxious to get Caltrain electrified so our communities can benefit from
expanded and improved service, said San
Mateo County Supervisor Adrienne Tissier,
a member of the Caltrain Board of Directors
and the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission, which is helping to fund the
project. With a project of this size and significance, we expect the cost and schedule
projections to be adjusted, especially when
the previous projections are 6 years old.
This update allows the project to move forward with environmental clearance so we
can get to work building a system that
accommodates growing ridership demand.
The price is rising for the Peninsula
Corridor Electrification Project, which is
converting the rail system from diesel to
electric, because of inflation, updated indus-

try information, additional engineering and

an analysis of the challenges associated
with constructing the project while also
maintaining train service that continues to
see dramatic increases in ridership, according to the transit agency.
In 2012, nine local, state and regional
entities agreed to fund the Caltrain
Modernization Program. That funding plan
was based on the 2008 cost projections and
also included the programs advanced signal
system project called CBOSS PTC. The
overall program meets Caltrains modernization goals and is an early investment for
the states high-speed rail system. Caltrain
is working with its regional, state and federal funding partners to explore opportunities
to secure the additional investment needed
to complete the project. Additional funding
could include Californias cap-and-trade program, Federal Transit Administrations
Vehicle Replacement and Core Capacity
programs, regional bridge toll program and
Caltrain fares, according to the transit
agency.

Couple sentenced for theft of PetSmart customers

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A former San Carlos PetSmart worker who

had her boyfriend burglarize homes belonging to dog boarding customers while they
vacationed was sentenced to 10 years while
her partner received a 19-year term.
Ashley Lynn Kirk, 25, and Juan Carlos
Ortega-Ramos, 26, both of San Jose, each
pleaded no contest in September to 11
counts of residential burglary and one count
of attempted burglary. Kirk received the
decade prison with credit of 597 days while
Ortega-Ramos, who also admitted a gang
enhancement, received nine more years. He
has credit of 600 days.
Both will also be ordered to pay restitution at a Dec. 4 hearing and prosecutors say

Ashley Kirk

the recommendation is
more than $200,000.
The sentencing came
after one victim told the
court she was at her
daughters wedding on
the day her home was
burglarized and learned of
the crime while at the
ceremony, Chief Deputy
District Attorney Karen

Guidotti said.
Prosecutors said in 2013 Ortega-Ramos
ransacked several homes of customers who
boarded their dogs at the San Carlos
PetSmart. Kirk allegedly figured out what
homes would be empty based on the animal
boarding calendar at the stores PetsHotel.

She reportedly passed on

the
information
to
Ortega-Ramos who committed the robberies.
The couple took a variety of items including
electronics, jewelry and,
in one instance, a silver
Porsche 991S from a
Portola Valley home. The
Juan
Ortega-Ramos vehicle went missing in
September 2013 but was
found later the same day in Belmont. The
couple was arrested but bailed out. After a
five-month investigation, investigators
arrested the couple again in January for burglaries in Foster City, Portola Valley,
Woodside and Redwood City.

Murder trial begins in

triple-fatal car crash
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The 30-year-old driver who killed a

mother and two sons by crashing into
her car while intoxicated is responsible for the tragic accident but not
guilty of three counts of murder, his
defense attorney told jurors during
opening statements Thursday morning.
Denis Pereria Demacedo, who kept
his head bowed as the prosecution
flashed graphic accident photographs
on the wall, was speeding away from a
different minor collision when he
struck the car carrying four in Daly
City, attorney John Elworth said.
The March 9, 2013, crash killed
Josefa Osorio Acevedo, 50, and her
sons Amado Osorio Acevedo, 23, and
Josue Osorio, 14. Amado Acevedos
girlfriend was critically hurt but survived the crash.
Despite drinking prior to the crash
and the failure of a field sobriety test,
Elworth told jurors he will challenge
the prosecution contention that his
client was driving while impaired.
Instead,
Elworth
painted
the
Sunnyvale man as speeding away from
the earlier fender-bender in a panicked
state when the victims car pulled away
from a curb into his lane.
He was shocked that this car
appeared in front of him, Elworth
said.
Jurors will see the crime scene and
two involved vehicles firsthand with
trips to the vicinity of 166 Eastmoor
Ave. where Demacedos BMW collided

into the drivers

side of Acevedos
Toyota Tercel and
the Daly City Police
Department where
both vehicles are
stored.
The
District
Attorneys Office
charged Demacedo
Denis
with murder rather
Demacedo
than just vehicular
manslaughter because of the number of
victims, his alleged heavy drinking
and at the time being on probation for
a previous drunk driving conviction.
Demacedos charges, which include
felony drunk driving and hit-and-run,
stem from both the fatal collision and
the earlier crash. He is also charged
with perjury for allegedly filing false
information with the Department of
Motor Vehicles to unsuspend his
license.
The day of the crash, prosecutor Jeff
Finigan told jurors Demacedo spent
five hours drinking pitchers of beer
with friends at a nearby restaurant
before leaving in his car. After bumping into a Honda Civic, Demacedo
sped away at 60 mph to 65 mph west
on Eastmoor Avenue and struck the
Tercel, pushing it about 150 feet.
Demacedo was not injured and
remained at the scene where Elworth
said he jumped from his car yelling
Oh my god, call the police and constantly asking if the other vehicles
occupants were OK.
Photographs shown to the juror
showed shattered windshields and
crumpled metal. In some, the victims

are clearly slumped over. In another, a

female victims body laid on the
ground with the cars back window
underneath. An officer testified that
one photograph showed one son with
a broken neck and blood at his waist.
As the images were displayed, family
members wept and one finally left the
courtroom.
Demacedo was not given a breathalyzer test but offered his blood willingly. The level several hours later was
.15 which the prosecution said indicates it was closer to .18 at the time of
the crash.
Demacedo told officers he did not
feel intoxicated, Finigan said.
Elworth told jurors that despite several officers at the scene, Demacedo
was only given one finger test for
sobriety.
Under direct examination, Daly City
police Officer Lucas Taylor said he didnt administer more because there were
more pressing tasks such as identifying other victims, helping the fire
department extract the car occupants
and photographing the vehicles before
they were destroyed to remove the passengers. Taylor described a chaotic
scene, with a crowd growing on the
sidewalk and a frenzy to get to the victims.
Time was of the essence to try saving these people, Taylor said.
Demacedo was not seriously injured
and has been in custody without bail
since his arrest.

Gay marriage ruling means high court review likely

By Dan Sewell

How courts differ on gay marriage

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI The march toward gay

marriage across the U.S. hit a roadblock
Thursday when a federal appeals court
upheld laws against the practice in four
states, creating a split in the legal system that increases the chances the
Supreme Court will step in to decide the
issue once and for all.
The cases decided were from Ohio,
Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Breaking ranks with other federal
courts around the country, the 6th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that
states have the right to set rules for marriage and that changing a definition that
dates to the earliest days of human history is better done through the political process, not the courts.
Surely the people should receive
some deference in deciding when the
time is ripe to move from one picture of
marriage to another, said Circuit Judge
Jeffrey Sutton, writing for himself and a
fellow George W. Bush appointee, while
a Bill Clinton appointee dissented.
The ruling ran counter to a remarkably
rapid string of victories for the gay
rights movement over the past few
months that have now made same-sex
marriage legal in at least 30 states.
In fact, four other U.S. appeals courts
in other regions of the country ruled in
recent months that states cannot ban
gay matrimony.
Cincinnati attorney Al Gerhardstein,
who represented gay plaintiffs in two of
the cases, said he was disappointed and
will appeal to the nations highest
court.
The president of pro-gay marriage
group Freedom to Marry, Evan Wolfson,
blasted the ruling as being on the
wrong side of history and out of step
with the courts and the majority of
Americans.
This anomalous ruling wont stand
the test of time or appeal, he said in a
statement.
Ohio Attorney General Mike
DeWines office, which argued in support of the voter-passed 2004 Ohio ban
on gay marriage, said it was pleased the

ON CHILDREN

REUTERS

A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld anti-gay marriage laws in four states,
breaking ranks with other courts that have considered the issue and setting up
the prospect of Supreme Court review.
court agreed with our arguments that
important issues such as these should be
determined through the democratic
process.
In its ruling, the appeals court rejected one of the main arguments leveled
against gay marriage, saying that samesex couples are just as capable as heterosexual ones of effectively raising
children.
But Sutton suggested that the same
argument that says there is a constitutional right to gay marriage could be
used in support of polygamy or some
other combination.
If it is constitutionally irrational to
stand by the man-woman definition of
marriage, it must be constitutionally
irrational to stand by the monogamous
definition of marriage, he wrote.
Gay rights advocates could seek a
review of the panels decision by the full
6th Circuit. But because the court is
made up mostly of Republican
appointees, advocates will probably try
to move the case straight to the Supreme
Court, for a definitive ruling on whether
gays have a fundamental right under the
U.S. Constitution to wed.
The dissenting judge suggested that
might have been the goal of Sutton and

Judge Deborah Cook in their ruling.

Because the correct result is so obvious, one is tempted to speculate that the
majority has purposefully taken the
contrary position to create the circuit
split, Judge Martha Craig Daugherty
wrote.
She said getting the case to the
Supreme Court would put an end to the
uncertainty of status and the interstate
chaos that the current discrepancy in
state laws threaten.
In October, the Supreme Court surprisingly turned away appeals from five
states seeking to uphold their same-sex
marriage bans. The ruling had the effect
of expanding gay marriage across the
U.S.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg later
explained that the lack of a split in the
appeals courts made Supreme Court
review of the issue unnecessary.
Thursdays ruling out changes that
dynamic.
The big question now is whether an
appeal can be ready in time for consideration by the justices this term.
Generally, the court would have to
decide by mid-January whether to
hear the case in time for a decision in
June.

THE LATEST: The 6th Circuit ruling says that limiting unions to being only between a
man and a woman is a view shared not long ago by every society in the world, shared
by most, if not all, of our ancestors, and shared still today by a significant number of the
States.
People may not need the governments encouragement to have sex or propagate the
species, it says, but they may need encouragement to create and maintain stable relationships within which children may flourish.
Imagine a society without marriage. It does not take long to envision problems that
might result from an absence of rules about how to handle the natural effects of malefemale intercourse: children, the opinion says. May men and women follow their
procreative urges wherever they take them? Who is responsible for the children that result?
The judges acknowledge that gay and lesbian couples are equally capable of being in
loving, committed relationships and effectively raising children. But those facts dont
mean states must suddenly believe gay marriage bans violate the constitution, the
opinion says.
EARLIER RULINGS: The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit said the proposition that children suffer in same-sex householdsreflects a crass and callous view of parental love and
the parental bond that is not worthy of response. We reject it out of hand.
The Denver-based 10th Circuit scoffed at the attempts by Utah and other states to use
procreation as a justification for gay marriage bans. In a majority opinion written by
Judge Carlos Lucero, the court pointed out that adoptive parents and opposite-sex
couples who rely on assistance to get pregnant arent denied the right to marry. They
said they dont buy the contention that same-sex couples are inferior parents.

ON POLYGAMY
THE LATEST: The 6th Circuit ruling suggests making gay marriage legal could open
the door for others such as polygamists to claim their unions also constitute legal marriage.
There is no reason to think that three or four adults, whether gay, bisexual, or straight,
lack the capacity to share love, affection, and commitment, or for that matter lack the
capacity to be capable (and more plentiful) parents to boot, it says. If it is constitutionally irrational to stand by the man-woman definition of marriage, it must be
constitutionally irrational to stand by the monogamous definition of marriage.
EARLIER RULINGS:The 10th Circuit rejected theslippery slopeargument that contends
legalizing gay marriage would lead to acceptance for polygamy.Unlike polygamous
or incestuous marriages, the Supreme Court has explicitly extended constitutional protection to intimate same-sex relationships, the ruling said.

ON STATES RIGHTS
THE LATEST: States should be able retain authority to define marriage as between a man
and woman to ensure the incentive to stay together for their children remains, the 6th
Circuit opinion says.
That does not convict the States of irrationality, only of awareness of the biological reality that couples of the same sex do not have children in the same way as couples of
opposite sexes and that couples of the same sex do not run the risk of unintended offspring, it says.
EARLIER RULINGS: In its June ruling striking down Utahs gay marriage ban, the 10th
Circuit dismissed as wholly illogical the notion that states allowing gays to wed could
somehow undermine traditional marriage. Judge Carlos Lucero wrote for the majority.
We may not deny them relief based on a mere preference that their arguments be
settled elsewhere.

ON THE SUPREME COURT

THE LATEST: The 6th Circuit makes note that the U.S. Supreme Courts decision on Oct.
6 to turn away appeals from five states seeking to prohibit gay and lesbian unions does
not end the debate on the constitutionality of gay marriage bans.
A decision not to decide is a decision not to decide,Circuit Judge Jeffrey Sutton wrote.
EARLIER RULINGS: Other appeals courts have agreed that the high court has not given
clear guidance on the issue. About the Supreme Courts ruling in June 2013 that overturned part of a federal ban on gay marriage, the 10th Circuit wrote:While Windsor is
the only Supreme Court case concerning same-gender marriage, it simply did not decide the issue of state prohibitions on same-gender marriages.

Victims group suing over

slow California executions
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO A victims rights

organization sued California state officials
on Thursday as it seeks to speed up executions that have been on hold since 2006.
Sacramento-based Criminal Justice Legal
Foundation filed a petition in Sacramento
County Superior Court asking a judge to
order state corrections officials to adopt
procedures for a single-drug, barbiturateonly method of execution.
State policy currently calls for using a
series of three drugs to put condemned

inmates to death.
The Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation is drafting new lethal injection regulations after Gov. Jerry Brown said
in April 2012 that the state would switch to
a single-drug lethal injection.
However, department spokeswoman
Deborah Hoffman said that a nationwide
shortage of execution drugs is slowing
progress. She declined to comment on the
lawsuit.
The foundation says the department is taking too long to adopt the new regulations.
No executions can occur until the new rules
are adopted.

Obituary

Anthony (Tony) Rebel

Sept. 2, 1933 Oct. 20, 2014

To say Anthony P. (Tony) Rebel, who died October 20,

2014 at age 81 in San Mateo of complications related to
a brain tumor, lived life to the fullest would almost be
an understatement.
Tony was a native of San Francisco and the son of
prominent Wells Fargo Executive Vice President Ralph
Rebele and mother Dorothy Rebele. After serving four
years in the U. S. Coast Guard during the Korean War
(1952-56), Tony, received his B. S. in Finance from the University of Colorado
where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity; he later went on to receive
an advanced degree from the Graduate School of Banking at the University of
Wisconsin in 1972.
Tony was known for his wonderful sense of humor and for being up for just about
any adventure. Annually, he went all over North America with his fellow shing
buddies who called themselves the Societ Piscatoire. With other friends and his
wife of 55 years, Libby, he traveled annually to the Giants Spring Training Camp
in Arizona. With his good pal Charlie Monroe he regularly drove his vintage 1963
Cadillac to Renos Hot August Nights and other Classic Car Shows. Travels
with Tony were always an adventure. Tony was very curious and wanted to stop
everywhere, Monroe remembers; he was fun to be with; he was like a brother.
Besides his wife Libby and children, Mark and Cecelia, golf, shing, dominoes, and
working in one of his two fully-tooled workshops (one at his home in San Mateo
and the other in his Tahoe vacation home) were Tonys passions. He also loved his
speedy Cobalt (christened the Sea-Note in honor of his banking days) and enjoyed
taking family and friends water-skiing and exploring Lake Tahoe. He loved dining
out with friends and was the perfect host at frequent parties in his lovely San Mateo
home. Tony was a member of the Peninsula Golf and Country Club for 35 years.
Banking was Tonys life work, beginning in San Francisco in 1959 as an
administrative trainee with Crocker National Bank, where he later became VicePresident and General Manager of Crockers San Diego main ofce in 1975. Tony
then joined Hibernia Bank in San Francisco and was later promoted to Regional
Vice President in the San Mateo corporate ofce. In 1983, he co-founded Financial
Center Bank in San Francisco as Executive Vice President and member of the board,
where he served until 1992. Tony later joined Borel Bank in San Mateo as a credit
ofcer, where he served until retiring in 1999.
Besides wife Libby of San Mateo and daughter Cecelia of Burlingame, Tony is
survived by his granddaughter, Kendall Rebel of Coulterville; brother Rowland
and wife Patricia of Aptos, and their three childrenMarianne of Santa Cruz;
Andrew of Seattle; and Christopher of Ben Lomond. Tony was preceded in death
by his only son Mark, who died in 2012.
A celebration of Tonys life will be held at The Peninsula Golf and Country Club on
Friday November 21, 2014 at 2 p.m. In lieu of owers, please send donations to the
Lucile Packard Childrens Hospital, or the charity of your choice.

Boehner warns Obama on immigration

By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a blunt post-election warning, House Speaker John Boehner

cautioned President Barack Obama on
Thursday against taking sweeping action
on immigration without congressional
approval, saying when you play with
matches you take the risk of burning yourself.
And hes going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path, the Ohio
Republican said at his first news conference
after elections in which Republicans captured control of the Senate that meets in
January and emerged with their largest
majority in the House in at least 70 years.
Obama has said he intends to reduce
deportations of immigrants who are working yet living illegally in the United States.
Boehner made his comments one day
before he and the other congressional leaders head to the White House for a lunch
meeting with Obama. Even before the new
Congress convenes, the outgoing one is
scheduled to meet next week to wrap up
business left over from the past two years.
Sketching an early agenda for 2015,
Boehner said the Congress that convenes in
January hopes to pass legislation approving construction of the long-stalled

Palo Alto Networks has discovered a new

The cybersecurity provider has named the

Boehner also mentioned bills to help create jobs and a measure to encourage businesses to hire veterans and several to attack

Boehner, just shy of his 65th birthday,

Ohio on Tuesday. Despite widely publicized
difficulties managing his fractious rank and

Reporters notebook

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM In an attempt at diplomatic damage control, Israels prime minister reassured Jordans king Thursday that he
wont yield to increasing demands by some
members of his center-right coalition to
allow Jews to pray at a Muslim-run holy site
in Jerusalem.
The phone call between Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and King Abdullah II
came a day after riot police clashed with
Palestinians at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islams
third- holiest shrine. Jordan, which is the
custodian of the site, recalled its ambassador in protest.
Israeli-Palestinian confrontations have

been escalating in Jerusalem, including

near-daily clashes between stone-throwing
Palestinians and Israeli riot police. Some of
the attacks have turned deadly in recent
weeks.
Underlying the tensions is long-running
frustration among the citys 300, 000
Palestinians with what many of them view
as oppressive Israeli practices, such as
restrictions on building, and a separation
wall that cuts through Arab neighborhoods.
The unrest was triggered by Muslim fears
of Jewish encroachment at the sacred site, a
hilltop plateau known to Muslims as Haram
as-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, and to Jews
as the Temple Mount. The complex houses
the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the gold-topped
Dome of the Rock.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Other voices

he election year of 2014 will go

down in history as one of the ugliest election seasons ever with
low voter turnout and a huge increase in
campaign spending.
Those two elements are the perfect brew
for the dominating inuence of special
interests on our electoral system. The fewer
voters to that turn out, the bigger the inuence of special interests.
In a presidential election, voters interest
is high, and its harder for the special interests to exert their power. But the lower the
turnout, the more inuence these special
interests have.
And 2014 will go down as one of the
most expensive off-year elections in history, at least judging from national elections
for the Senate, the House of
Representatives and gubernatorial races.
Here in California, turnout was estimated
to be low in particular because the gubernatorial race was so out of balance. As
expected, Gov. Jerry Brown coasted to an
easy win over Republican Neel Kashkari. It
was a race that was over before it began,
and Californias voters had just one more

A call for civility

Low turnout, big money

reason not to go to the polls.

Brown didnt even bother to campaign
much, choosing instead to spend his campaign war chest on Propositions 1 and 2,
rather than on his own re-election.
Nationwide, however, the situation
couldnt have been more different. The New
Yorker magazine went so far as to dub this
years election as the money midterms,
with an estimated $4 billion being spent
on congressional campaigns.
A low turnout typical of off-year elections increases the role of the politically active, both the hard-core supporters of
each party and of the big-spending Super
PACs and other interest groups that can
raise incredible amounts of money.
The monetary inuence is bad enough on
its own, but it also has a devastating
impact on the ability of elected ofcials to
effectively represent their constituents.
Instead of working away in the interest of
the people, elected ofcials are put in the
position of spending huge amounts of time
hustling for campaign dollars. Even those
in politically safe districts are forced to
seek out donations in order to contribute to

other members of their party.

That puts the ofcials in the position of
pandering to special interests, the bigmoney contributors that are keeping a
watchful eye on their voting patterns.
Theres so much money coming in that
lobbyists can threaten an ofcial with the
threat of withholding future nancial support which is much-needed in a race with
a low voter turnout.
Unfortunately, there are no easy answers.
Establishing limits on campaign contributions is famously ineffective, because there
are so many ways to get around the law.
Encouraging a higher voter turnout can
help, but the irony is that the more special
interests control the system, the less motivation the average voter has to participate
in the electoral process.
Congress has an estimated 7 percent
approval rating, and fewer than 30 percent
of voters say they have any enthusiasm
about voting, according to recent polls.
One would think that those numbers
would result in a massive effort to reject the
status quo. So far, that has not happened.
But at some point, wed like to think that
the citizenry would take back the electoral
system and reject the cynical money-dominated system that exists now.

t has come to my attention, through

anecdote and personal experience and
observation, that there is a diminishing amount of civility in our society at large
and right here in our community of San
Mateo County.
I am not ignorant to the existence of previous incivility and disapproval of it in the
past, both recent and preceding. Still, courtesy seems to be a dying craft in our society

a moment for

spaces or even talking over and around others with nary a care as to the impact of individual behavior on the outside environment.

I attended Taft Elementary, McKinley
Middle School and Sequoia High School.
My husband, too, has lived in Redwood
City his entire life he attended
Roosevelt Elementary, Kennedy Middle
School and Woodside High School. We are
true Redwood City natives.
When we got married, seven years ago,
we had every intention of living and raising our children in the beloved city we
grew up in and fell in love with
Redwood City. However, while nishing
college, having children and starting
careers, we have not been given the opportunity to purchase our own home in
Redwood City as thought and planned,
despite our strongest efforts.
Currently, we nd our family extremely
blessed to have a landlord who has not
gone with the trend of raising the rent on
our snug two-bedroom duplex and forced us
out of Redwood City yet. However, with
our growing children and family, we nd it
next-to-impossible to nd a suitable home
for our small family. We are sad at the realization that we, like many other Redwood
City natives, will be among the next to
be forced out of our beloved city. We truly
feel that we are left with no other choice
but to move out of Redwood City. I will be
forced to pull my young children out of

New projects to support seniors

Editor,
The Peninsula Health Care District Board
needs to be recognized and complimented
for providing support for important new
projects that will serve the health care
needs of seniors on the Peninsula.
At its Oct. 22 board meeting, it committed $300,000 in support of Kimochi San
Mateo, a new community care center for
seniors. Kimochi, Inc. purchased the site
located at 453 N. San Mateo Drive in
October 2012 and is working hard to raise
the capital campaign funds needed to renovate the former convalescent hospital into
a 14-bed assisted-living facility targeting
the needs of Asian seniors and families
residing on the Peninsula.
Since 1971, our agency has developed
and provided support and care in San
Francisco, annually serving 3,000 seniors
and families. The Peninsula Health Care

NEW YORK Solid profits for big

companies and optimistic economic
news helped nudge the stock market to
another record high Thursday.
In European markets, losses turned to
gains when the head of the European
Central Bank said he was ready to take
more steps to revive the regions struggling economy. The news knocked the
euro to a two-year low against the dollar.
Whole Foods Market jumped 12 percent, the biggest gain in the Standard
& Poors 500 index, after reporting
higher quarterly earnings than analysts
had expected. Whole Foods climbed
$4.33 to end the day at $44.34.
The news is encouraging today,
said David Joy, chief market strategist
at Ameriprise Financial. Its especially nice to see the European Central
Bank saying the right things.
The S&P 500 edged up 7.64 points,
or 0.4 percent, to close at 2,031.21.
That put the benchmark index for most

on track to rise nearly 9 percent,
according to S&P Capital IQ. Before

estimated earnings would increase 6
percent.
Whats really important about this
earnings season is that CEOs are no
longer saying, We can survive.
Theyre saying, Were expanding our
business, said JJ Kinahan, TD
Ameritrades chief strategist. Theres
a note of optimism we havent heard in
a long time.
After the close of regular trading on

Productivity rises at 2 percent rate in 3Q

By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON U.S. workers productivity increased in the July-September period at a slower pace than in the previous quarter. Labor costs accelerated but still
remained at an extremely low level.
Productivity, the amount of output per
hour of work, rose at a 2 percent annual rate
in the third quarter after a 2.9 percent gain in
the second quarter, the Labor Department
reported Thursday.
Labor costs rose at a slight 0.3 percent
rate in the third quarter after having fallen at
a 0.5 percent rate in the second quarter.
Greater productivity is the key factor
determining rising living standards. It

enables companies to pay their workers

more without having to increase prices.
Even with the small acceleration in labor
costs, they remain far below levels that
would raise concerns about inflation.
Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at
Pantheon Macroeconomics, said that the
main message from the report was that productivity is accelerating while labor costs
remain under control.
He said that productivity numbers have
shown gains above 2 percent in four of the
past five quarters with the first quarters
sharp decline a result of the severe winter
weather that sent the economy into reverse
in the first three months of this year.
Discounting that drop, Shepherson said,
the economy is seeing a notable pick-up in

productivity growth.
The overall economy, as measured by the
gross domestic product, grew at an annual
rate of 3.5 percent in the third quarter, a
solid performance that followed a 4.6 percent surge in the second quarter.
The GDP is the economys total output of
goods and services. Since output growth
slowed in the third quarter, productivity
slowed as well.
Over the past year, labor costs have risen
2.4 percent, a modest increase that is below
the long-run average of 2.8 percent annual
gains. That suggests that wages and salaries
are not rising fast enough to spur inflation.
The Federal Reserve keeps a close watch
on productivity and labor costs for any
signs that inflation may be accelerating.

Fannie, Freddie post profits in 3Q; pay dividends

By Marcy Gordon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Government-controlled
mortgage companies Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac posted profits for the JulySeptember period as the U.S. housing market continued to recover. Gains in recent
years have enabled them to fully repay their
government aid after being rescued during
the financial crisis in 2008.
Fannie Mae reported Thursday that it
earned $3.9 billion in the third quarter.
Washington-based Fannie will pay a dividend of $4 billion to the U.S. Treasury next
month. With its previous payments totaling $134.5 billion, Fannie has more than

fully repaid the $116 billion it received

from taxpayers.
Freddie Mac posted net income of $2.1
billion for the latest quarter. Freddie, based
in McLean, Virginia, will pay a $2.8 billion
dividend to the government. Freddie will
have paid $91 billion in dividends, exceeding its government bailout of $71.3 billion.
Freddie had fully repaid as of last years
third quarter, and Fannie as of the fourth
quarter of 2013.
The government bailed out Fannie and
Freddie at the height of the crisis in
September 2008 when both veered toward
collapse after piling up losses on risky
mortgages in the housing market bust.

Together the companies received taxpayer

aid totaling $187.3 billion.
The gradual recovery of the housing market has made Fannie and Freddie profitable
again. Their repayments of the government
loans helped make last years federal budget
deficit the smallest in five years.
The markets revival beginning in 2012
has been fitful, and housing has lagged
behind the rest of the economy. The market
remains hampered by tight mortgage credit,
rising home prices and stagnating incomes.
Together Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee about half of all U.S. mortgages,
worth about $5 trillion. Along with other
federal agencies, they back roughly 90 percent of new home loans.

Disney movies drive 4 quarter; Toy Story 4 coming

By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Movie heroines and superheros were the stars of The Walt Disney Cos.
fourth-quarter results on Thursday, as the success of animated tale Frozen and Marvel
movie Guardians of the Galaxy helped revenue surpass expectations.
Disney Studios has had a string of hits that
is likely to continue with the first of its
annual Star Wars movie launching next
year, titled The Force Awakens. The compa-

ny also announced Thursday that Toy Story 4

will hit theaters in 2017, directed by John
Lasseter, who created the blockbuster franchise and directed the first two movies.
In a call with analysts, CEO Bob Iger said
Disneys movie and TV offerings help it
compete in the new golden age for content.
The studio business has been a tremendous content engine driving opportunities
across the country, he said. He said the five
Marvel movies that Disney has released
since acquiring the brand in 2009 have averaged $1 billion in global box office receipts.

Movie studios, TV networks and cable and

satellite providers alike are grappling with a
changing media industry as more people
watch TV and movies online and via streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. HBO made
waves recently by saying it would offer a
standalone streaming service late next year.
There has been some speculation that
Disneys ESPN network might do something
similar since it is one of the most popular
channels. In a call with investors, however,
Iger said that cable channel bundles are still
the best choice for consumers.

percent, a record low.

Draghi has a tendency to cause hysteria in the markets even when he
potentially doesnt mean to, said
Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari.
It only takes the slightest suggestion
that further easing is likely, or that
(bond-buying) is a possibility, and the
markets go wild.
European stock markets turned higher after Draghis talk. Germanys DAX
closed with a gain of 0.7 percent, while
the CAC-40 in France gained 0.5 percent. The FTSE 100 index of leading
British shares picked up 0.2 percent.
Draghis comments also helped push
the euro lower. The currency fell from
$1.252 before he began talking to
$1.239, its lowest level since August
2010.
Back in the U.S., government bond
prices fell, nudging the yield on the
10-year Treasury note up to 2.37 percent.
In metals trading, gold continued its
slump, losing $3.10, or 0.3 percent, to
settle at $1,142.60 an ounce. Silver
slid 3 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $15.41
an ounce, and copper rose a penny, or
0.3 percent, to $3.02 per pound.
Benchmark U.S. crude oil dipped 77
cents to close at $77.91 a barrel on the
New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent
crude, a benchmark for international
oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell
9 cents to close at $82.86 in London.

Business briefs
Gleam is gone as gold
prices sink to four-year low
NEW YORK Nothing is going golds
way.
Inflation remains tame, the dollar looks
strong and Americans are increasingly confident. Even fears that the Federal Reserve
would set off another financial crisis have
faded as the central bank ends its effort to
pump money into the economy.
In short, all of the reasons for buying
gold over recent years have disappeared,
helping to drive prices for the metal to a
four-year low.
I think the big reason gold has lost so
much ground is because confidence is coming back, says Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital
Management in Minneapolis. Last week, a
measure of U. S. consumer confidence
reached its highest level in seven years.
If youre not as scared anymore, you
might be fine putting some money in the
stock market, Paulsen says. Its all about
fear turning to greed.
Gold dropped $22 to settle at $1,145.70
an ounce on Wednesday, the lowest finish
for the precious metal since April 2010.
U.S. stocks, meanwhile, hover near alltime highs.
The metals popularity peaked in the aftermath of the financial crisis. After seeing
their savings wiped out, people rushed to
investments considered safe, places where
they could stash their money and count on
getting it back. Gold, along with U.S. government bonds, carried a bullet-proof reputation.

Gap 3Q earnings outlook

tops Wall Street estimate
Gap Inc. shares are up in extended trading
after the retailer predicted third-quarter earnings that topped market forecasts.
The San Francisco-based company operates Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic.
Gap said Thursday after the market closed
that it expects to earn 78 to 79 cents per
share for the quarter that ran through
October. Analysts polled by FactSet forecast 71 cents per share.
Gaps earnings outlook overshadowed
modest sales trends in October. The company said that its sales from stores open at
least a year fell 2 percent in its third quarter
after dropping 3 percent in October.
Shares rose $1.23, or 3.3 percent, to
$39.13 in extended trading.

SHP-Burlingame in the spotlight tonight

in dealing with the attention that surrounds

this game. After what SHP has gone through
over the last couple of years, this kind of
spotlight is old hat.
Two years ago, we won the CCS championship in that rainstorm (over Menlo
School). Last year, was just out of this
world, said SHP coach Pete Lavorato, referring to the Gators journey to the state
championship game.
(Those experiences) prepare you for
these kind of moments. I think our kids are
prepared for these kind of games. Not saying theyre not nervous. Im nervous.

Sacred Heart Prep is coming off a 31-21

over
Menlo-Atherton,
while
Burlingame took care of Sequoia, 38-13.
The Gators should be wary of the Panthers,
who are riding a 21-game, regular-season
winning streak, dating to the 2012 season.
Most frightening is how similar the
Panthers resemble the Gators. Burlingame
comes into the game averaging 92 yards
passing per game, as well as rushing for
277 yards. Compare that to SHP, which

The consensus of those in attendance at the

Peninsula Athletic League individual championships Thursday at Burlingame was the No.
1 singles matchup was one for the ages.
In the end, it was the seasoned vet,
Hillsdale senior Mariko Iinuma, who proved
to be the top singles player in the PAL.
Iinuma topped the kid, Menlo-Atherton
freshman Lanie van Linge, 7-6 (2), 6-2 in a
match which featured some of the best play
seen in a PAL matchup in recent years, according to Menlo-Atherton head coach Tom
Sorenson.
Its probably the best caliber of tennis
weve had in a while, Sorenson said.
The match was so captivating it even had
an effect on those playing simultaneously.
Burlingame freshman Halle Martinucci said
she had trouble concentrating on her thirdplace showdown with Burlingame teammate
Natalie Somers because of the consistent
thundering of shots echoing from the racquets of Iinuma and van Linge from the
neighboring court.
It was tough because I wanted to watch it,
Martinucci said. It was distracting.
Van Linge looked to have learned from her
two regular-season defeats at the hands of
Iinuma earlier this season. The M-A freshman
was running the more experienced Iinuma
throughout the rst set. Van Linge not only
produced impressive velocity from her forehand, she showed an equally powerful backhand. More importantly, she knew when to
temper the velocity and how to use nesse to
run her opponent.
Iinuma was up to the challenge though,
ultimately winning the rst set via tiebreaker. Then the senior used her veteran wiles and
showed some power of her own in the second
set by pinning van Linge to the backline
with consistently deep shots.
The second set I just calmed myself down
and was able to play my game, Iinuma said.
I usually just keep it deep and was just
aiming for her backhand.

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

Mariko Iinuma, HIllsdale No. 1 singles and No. 1 seed in the PAL tournament, won her third PAL
title in four years, with a 7-6(2), 6-2 win over No. 2 seed Lanie van Linge of Menlo-Atherton.

OAKLAND David Lee will not travel

with the Golden State Warriors when they
play at Houston and Phoenix this weekend
because of a left hamstring injury.
The two-time All-Star power forward was
scheduled to have an MRI on his hamstring
late Thursday afternoon. The Warriors play
at Houston on Saturday and at Phoenix on
Sunday.
Lee sat out the first three games of the season because of a strained
hamstring. He scored six
points in 7 minutes in the
first half of Golden
States 121-104 win over
the
Clippers
on
Wednesday night before
hurting his hamstring
again.
Warriors coach Steve
David Lee
Kerr said Lee will likely
be sidelined beyond the
weekend as the team takes a more cautious
approach to his return this time.
I just feel bad for David because hes had
a great preseason and hes worked so hard,
Kerr said. You saw the impact he made on
the game immediately, and for this to happen, I feel bad for him. Hopefully we get him
back soon and hell be back in the mix and
well go from there.
Even without Lee, the Warriors are off to
their best start in 20 years. The last time
they began 4-0 was the 1994-95 season,
when they won their first five games.
Kerr, who took over for the fired Mark
Jackson, also is the first coach in franchise
history to start 4-0. He credited the teams
improved depth for overcoming Lees
absence so far.
Draymond Green will continue to start in
Lees place, and Kerr indicated after
Wednesday nights game that Green could
continue to start even when Lee is healthy.
Green, whos in his third season, scored a
career-high 24 points to go with eight
rebounds and five assists against the
Clippers and has rapidly improved each
year.

World champs turn attention to Sandoval

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The Giants are planning their offseason around efforts to resign Pablo Sandoval.
General manager Brian Sabean and his
staff have told free-agent starting pitchers
Jake Peavy and Ryan Vogelsong that the
World Series champions need time to try to
strike a deal with Sandoval before turning

their attention to the

mound or any other position. The Giants made a
$15.3 million qualifying
offer that the switch-hitting third baseman wont
accept by Mondays deadline.
Weve engaged, but
Pablo Sandoval Ill leave it at that,
Sabean said Thursday.

Were three days in, so thats the best

answer I can give.
Giants CEO Larry Baer said his teams
payroll will go up after San Franciscos
third title in five years and the club will do
what it can to keep Sandoval. San
Franciscos payroll was $164.7 million at
the end of the regular season, the sixthhighest in the majors.
The 28-year-old Sandoval batted .279
with 16 homers and 73 RBIs in 157 regular-

season games and .366 in the postseason

with seven doubles and five RBIs, including
four during a seven-game World Series win
against Kansas City.
While the 2012 Series MVP has said he
would like to finish his career with the
Giants, he will have other suitors and plans
to listen.
We dont have a solution in house so it
would have to come from the outside,

Crabtree wont blame lack of prodution on health

By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Michael Crabtree has

had two operations on his left foot since
2009 and missed most of last season
because of an Achilles tendon tear. Yet the
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver insists
hes healthy and says lingering effects have
nothing to do with his recent drop in production.
You see me running on the field 100 percent, Crabtree said Thursday. What are you
talking about . about a foot? Were good,
man. Thats not even a question to ask me.
Crabtree, averaging 9.8 yards per catch
this season, left San Franciscos win over
the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 28 with
soreness in his foot and later returned to the
game.
A week later he was limited to one catch
against Kansas City, something that had
not happened in nearly three years.
I always have high expectations for
myself and I am not where I want to be,
Crabtree said as the 49ers (4-4) prepared to

play at New Orleans on

Sunday. I am going to do
the best I can to catch any
ball thrown my way.
While the yards-percatch figure would be a
career low, Crabtree is on
track for 74 receptions,
which would be his second-most in a season.
Michael
Hes also on track for six
Crabtree
touchdowns,
which
would match his second-best in a year.
Its not about any one guy. Its not about
anybody, Crabtree said. Its about the
team having to get the job done. We have to
make each snap count, beat the man in front
of you and play winning football.
After making a career-high 10 grabs in a
loss to Arizona the week before playing the
Eagles, Crabtree has been limited to 18
receptions an average of 3.6 per game at
9.7 yards a catch.
Its not the first time weve gone through
difficult times, Crabtree said. We have to
prove we can play and this week we have

the Northern California Community
College Cross Country Championships
Saturday at Crystal Springs in Belmont. The
womens race begins at 10 a.m. with the
men following at 10:45 a.m.
CSMs Matt Rouse continues to emerge as
a viable contender to qualify for the State
Championships hosted by Fresno City
College at Woodward Park on Nov. 22.
Rouse is currently ranked No. 8 in Northern
California.
Its the training, CSM coach Joe
Mangan said of Rouses recent ascent into
the top 10. Its one of those things where
everything was synergistic to peak at the
end of the season.
With five runners on roster, CSM will
compete as a team. Ten teams out of the 19team field qualify for the State
Championships. Mangan estimated three
individuals have a good shot at qualifying.
The team is a long shot, but Mangan said
not to count them out.
Stranger things have happened,
Mangan said.
The CSM women feature just one individual runner in Mirka Uhlirova.

We understand the circumstances,

Roman said. Those guys are good football
players and we have faith in them. With
Marcus, I thought he played pretty darn
well. Guys in and out of the lineup, not ideal
for the offensive line, but well overcome
it.
NOTES: LB Patrick Willis (toe) remains
questionable, though it seems likely he
might miss another game. If he doesnt
start practicing at some point then it starts
to move to doubtful, defensive coordinator
Vic Fangio said. It just hasnt gotten much
better. Willis went through individual
drills only last week. . Glenn Dorsey is getting closer to a return, with Fangio giving
the defensive lineman a 50-50 chance of
playing against the Saints. . CB Tramaine
Brock (turf toe) had a minor setback and was
held out of last weeks loss to the Rams.
Hopefully this week well get him in there
and not have to play him full-time, said
Fangio, who landed his first NFL job with
the Saints. I feel a little bit at home when I
go there.

another chance to come back and do what we

need to do.
The 49ers, who rank 23rd in the NFL in
points per game, need to score touchdowns
especially once they get into the red
zone. San Francisco ranks last in the league
(40 percent) in scoring touchdowns inside
the red zone, averaging about three trips per
game.
Phil Dawson has attempted as many field
goals (18) as the 49ers have scored touchdowns this season. Hes made 14 of them.

This is the first meeting since Aragon beat
South City 32-22 in 2011. The Warriors
have turned their season around since a 0-5

could clinch the Ocean Division title. RB
Eric Kamelamela went over the 100-yard mark
for the third game in a row last week, finishing with 114 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. The South City defense was nails
against Hillsdale. It held the Knights to just
163 yards of offense. The 13 points
allowed was the second lowest of the season
for the Warriors. Aragon went over the 30point mark for the third time in four weeks.
The 27 points allowed was a season high for

The Cherokees were clobbered by Burlingame

56-35 by Terra Nova. Last year, Menlo posted a 42-10 win over Sequoia. The Cherokees
skid has hit four straight and since scoring 35
points in a 3-point loss to Terra Nova Oct. 10,
have scored a total of 41 in their last three
games. This is the second straight year
Sequoia has endured a four-game losing streak.
The Cherokees lost five in a row in 2013.
The Knights topped the 30-point mark for only

The Tigers torched Menlo School last week,

beaten the Tigers since a 41-39 decision in

fell to division-leading Kings Academy, 3320. The last time these teams met was
2009, a 49-24 Jefferson victory. Both
teams still technically have a shot at a share of
the division crown all predicated on Kings
Academy losing at least one of its next two
games. Both Jefferson and Capuchino have
one loss in the Ocean Division and both would
have to win out to have a shot. The Indians
have won 3 of their last 4 games. A
Jefferson win over Capuchino would give the
Indians their first winning season since they
went 9-3 in 2010. The Mustangs had a twogame winning streak snapped last week.
Capuchinos 20 points against Kings

Kings Academy beat Carlmont 28-14 in
2013. With a win, the Knights can guarantee at least a share of the Ocean Division title
and a win next week would give them the outright crown. Not surprisingly, Kings
Academy has the best offense and defense in
the division. The Knights are averaging 42
points on offense and allowing only 11. A
2008. The Terra Nova offense finally erupted
last week. The 56 points scored was a season
high for the Tigers. The defense showed a bit

M-A runs the table in Bay Division; Menlo shares WBAL title
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Bears entered into the 2014 season as

the favorite to claim the Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division crown.
They did so in style.
In making quick work of reigning PAL Bay
Division champion Woodside Thursday
evening 25-13, 25-15, 25-7, the Bears (140 in PAL Bay, 25-3 overall) notched an undefeated record in league play. M-A dropped
just one set through 14 Bay Division matches this season, dropping Game 1 in a four-set
victory Oct. 9 over Sequoia.
Junior outside hitter Leanna Collins
capped a sensational regular season with her
21st match with double-figure kills.
Collins totaled a match-high 17 kills,
including a perfect performance in Game 3
in which she tabbed seven kills in seven
attempts.
Senior outside hitter Devin Joos added 11

Iinuma dominated the second set.
Lengthening her lead to 5-1, she had a
chance to win it right there but was faced with
having to play an extra game when, at match
point, van Linge had a shot clip the top of
the net and just fall to Iinumas side of the
court.
Thats when I realized I just had to focus
for the last game, Iinuma said.
That she did. The nal game went to deuce,
but Iinuma quickly gained the advantage.
With another shot at match point, she did not
miss, ring a crosscourt shot to van Linges
forehand. Van Linge returned the shot but it
went long to end it.
Van Linge was visibly upset with herself as
she left the court. As a lifelong tennis talent
who, when she was in grade school, used to

for 257 yards per game. Burlingame is averaging 36 points per game this season, the
Gators 33.
You dont go 8-0 by accident. They kind
of remind me a little bit of us. Theyre not as
big as some of the other teams in our
league, Lavorato said. (But) you look at

kills and a team-high 14

digs. Kirby Knapp had
39 assists. Senior defensive specialist Kailin
Tavarez totaled nine digs
and six service aces.
The league championship is M-As 12th alltime. In 2012, the Bears
Leanna Collins captured the Central
Coast Section Division I
championship.
Burlingame (12-2, 23-7) wrapped up second place in the PAL Bay Division with a
25-21, 25-18, 25-22 sweep of Hillsdale (311, 7-21). Panthers outside hitter Tatum
Novitzky had a match-high 16 kills. Dana
Williams added nine kills and totaled three
blocks. Brittney Carias had seven kills. The
only two losses Burlingame had in Bay
Division play this season came at the hands
of M-A.
In a battle for third place, Sequoia (9-5,

22-9) downed Carlmont

(8-6, 17-15) in straight
sets 25-20, 25-18, 2522. Angela Hudelson
continues to rebound
from injury. The senior
setter tabbed 33 assists
and four blocks. Rachel
Fink had a match-high
11 kills while Leanne
Lida
Vandermeer Robinson totaled 10
kills and 17 digs.
Carlmont was paced by Alexis Morrow with
eight kills.
In West Bay Athletic League play, Menlo
School (9-1 in WBAL, 19-14 overall)
wrapped up the WBAL co-championship
with a four-set win over Castilleja 23-25,
25-18, 27-25, 25-18.
Menlo finishes tied atop the WBAL with
Harker. Both had similar 9-1 records in
league, but Menlo earns the higher CCS
playoff bid by virtue of downing Harker 3-2

in head-to-head set play this season.

The Vandermeer sisters were on point
Thursday for Menlo. Lida Vandermeer had a
match-high 17 kills while younger sister
Mia Vandermeer had nine. Setter Elisa
Merten totaled 48 assists while Jessica
Houghton had 11 digs.
In PAL Ocean Division play, Mills
downed Capuchino in straight sets 25-14,
25-16, 25-18. Brittany Deckman paced the
Mustangs with eight kills.
Half Moon Bay defeated El Camino in four
sets 21-25, 25-13, 25-13, 25-11. Hailey
Merkes capped a prolific sophomore season
with a match-high 24 kills. Bailey Steger had
23 assists while Katie Rupert added 16 assists.
In West Catholic Athletic League playoff
action, No. 2-seed Sacred Heart Cathedral
upset top-seed Mitty to win the WCAL
Playoff championship Thursday 25-22, 1425, 25-21, 25-21. Mitty reached the finals
by downing Notre Dame Belmont

hold her own when practicing with the M-A

varsity team, the future looks bright.
Lanie is a girl who holds herself to
extremely high standards, Sorenson said.
Shes not looking ahead to when shes 17 or
18. For her, the time is now. That, to me,
is the makeup of a future champion.
For Iinuma, the win marks her third overall
PAL crown. She has won two as a singles
player and one for doubles play. As a sophomore, she captured her rst singles title with
a victory over Carlmonts Cori Sidel. Last
year, she moved to doubles play with Natalie
Spievack to take the doubles title. They went
on to become the rst PAL team in 14 years
to capture a CCS championship and the rst
Hillsdale team to do so in 59 years.
This season, Iinuma served as Hillsdales
No. 1 ranked single the entire season.
In the matchup for third place, Martinucci
persevered to defeat Somers 6-1, 6-1.
Somers served as Burlingames No. 1 singles player for most of the season while
Martinucci was out of action with a sprained

wrist. But Martinucci has proven completely

healthy in recent weeks since returning from
the painful injury.
It has been over a year since the two
matched up as part of RS Tennis Academy.
Somers said the two were fairly evenly
matched at that time, but that Martinucci
excelled after working around the calendar
during the offseason.
She has really steady strokes powerful, Somers said. I was the rst one to make
the mistakes today.
The PAL doubles championship was also a
duel between teammates, with M-As Sami
Andrew and Julia Marks defeating Taylor
Noble and Julia Chang 6-2, 6-2.
Andrew and Marks played as M-As No. 2
and No. 3 single players, respectively,
throughout most of the season. They each
went undefeated in individual play throughout the PAL regular season. They paired up for
the rst time heading into playoffs. And they
already have a routine to brag on.
We just kind of did our thing, Marks said.

I think were a really

good team, Andrew said.
Julia has great ground
strokes and I like being at
the net. And she gets
my back when I whiff. I
think our games compliment each other really
well.
In the third-place douSami Andrew

their athletes theyre dynamic. Any one

of them can go (score) on any play. Their
offense is one of those real disciplined
offenses. They do their job. Theyre beating
teams quite handily.

SHP counters with an offense that is just

as disciplined and might be slightly more
potent than Burlingame. Junior quarterback
Mason Randall has become one of the best
in the PAL and he is definitely helped by a
running game that features Riley Tinsley,
who leads the team with 589 yards, along
with the recent return of Ben Burr-Kirven,
who has rushed for nearly 300 yards and
scored five touchdowns in just three games.

16 points per game, have 13 sacks and 21

interceptions. SHP also allows only 16
points per game and the Gators have recorded 27 sacks and eight interceptions.

Running back Griffin Intrieri is the glue

to the Panthers offense. The senior, who
coach John Philipopoulos said may be the
best running back hes ever coached, is
averaging 116 yards per game and is 70
away from cracking the 1,000-yard barrier.
In addition, hes scored 13 touchdowns.

Sharks sunk
by Canucks
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE Alex Edler and Chris

Bonino scored second-period goals
and Ryan Miller preserved the lead
through the final second as the
Vancouver Canucks beat the San
Jose Sharks 3-2 on Thursday night.
Joe Thornton appeared to tie the
score in the closing second for San
Jose. But the goal was overturned
when replay showed the puck
crossed the line just after the clock
hit zero.
Radim Vrbata also scored and
Miller made 34 saves. The Canucks
got off to a good start on their threegame California swing that finishes
with games at Los Angeles and
Anaheim during the weekend.
Vancouver won just two of 14
games last season against the three
California teams, playing a big role
in the Canucks missing the playoffs
in their first season in the new
Pacific Division.
James Sheppard and Logan
Couture scored for the Sharks, who
controlled the play but still lost in
their final game before a grueling
trip of seven road games in 11 days.
Antti Niemi made 16 saves.
Miller withstood an early barrage
that started with four prime scoring
chances in the opening minute to
keep Vancouver in the game and earn
his 10th win in 11 starts this season.
Miller then stood tall in the closing seconds, making a good save on
Couture shortly before Thorntons
final shot went in too late.
The Canucks fell behind 2-1 midway through the second when
Couture capped a pretty passing
sequence on the power play with his
team-leading seventh goal.
Vancouver then scored twice in a
span of less than 5 minutes to take
the lead into the third.

Raiders O-line faces toughest test yet

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Trying to stop

Denvers pass rush tandem of defensive
end DeMarcus Ware and linebacker Von
Miller would be a tough challenge for
the winless Raiders under the best circumstances.
Doing it without a key starter certainly wont make it any easier.
Rookie left guard Gabe Jackson
remains sidelined with a knee injury and
is likely to miss a game for the first time
this season. Khalif Barnes, who started
the first four games of the year at right
tackle, has been practicing at left guard
in Jacksons absence.
While Barnes has plenty of experience at the position, moving him inside
takes away a key component of
Oaklands plans to slow down Ware and
Miller. When hes not starting, Barnes
frequently lines up on the outside as an
extra tight end to help block.
It compounds the situation in a lot of
ways, Raiders interim coach Tony
Sparano said Thursday. Khalif really
hasnt played inside this year. He has
played inside in the past.
Barnes started five games at left guard

in 2013 and spent this past offseason

there before moving to right tackle just
before the start of the regular season.
Menelik Watson took over in Week 6
when Barnes went down with a quad
injury. Now both are likely to be in the
lineup when Oakland attempts to snap a
14-game losing streak that dates to last
year.
Khalifs kind of been a jack of all
trades for me since I got here so that
doesnt really bother me, Sparano said.
Still, the Raiders would feel much better about their prospects if Barnes was
available to help on the edges against
Miller and Ware. The duo has combined
for 17 sacks, with Millers nine being
second in the NFL only to Justin
Houston of Kansas City, who has 12.
Ware and Miller are the eighth pair of
teammates since 1982 to have at least
eight sacks apiece through the first
eight games of a season.
Theyre probably in and affecting the
quarterback 15 times a game in one way,
shape or form, Sparano said. Thats
pretty consistent.
It figures to be the toughest test yet
for an Oakland offensive line that has
held up fairly well in pass protection.
Quarterback Derek Carr has been sacked

only eight times while the Raiders have

given up nine total tied with the
Broncos for the fewest in the NFL this
season.
Left tackle Donald Penn said Miller
and Ware are among the best in the business.
Like I told Menelik, these are the
games that make your name, Penn said.
Thats how I got my name out there,
shutting down the best elite pass rushers
coming up in my career. Im going to
get both of them for sure. They find a
way to get to quarterbacks so we have to
find a way to keep them off of him.
Jackson, Oaklands third-round pick
this year, has started every game so far
as a rookie. He was hurt late in the fourth
quarter of last weeks 30-24 loss in
Seattle.
Sparano has declined to rule Jackson
out, though at this point it seems
unlikely hell play.
No tes : CB Carlos Rogers (knee) and
backup Chimdi Chekwa (hamstring)
remain sidelined. TE David Ausberry
(foot) is also out. ... PR TJ Carrie
(ankle) was limited in practice, as was
DE Justin Tuck (knee). ... WR Kenbrell
Thompkins was not at practice because
of personal reasons.

Posey, Bumgarner win Silver Slugger Awards

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The Los Angeles

Angels Mike Trout, Pittsburghs
Andrew McCutchen and Washingtons
Ian Desmond have won their third
straight Silver Slugger Awards.
Chicago White Sox rookie first baseman Jose Abreu and Houston second
baseman Jose Altuve were among eight

by Louisville Slugger, which presents
the annual honors following voting by
major league managers and coaches for
the top hitter in each league at every

Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre

Buster Posey was joined in the
outfield
by
Torontos Jose Bautista and Clevelands
Michael Brantley.
The NL team included Los Angeles
Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez,
Pittsburgh second baseman Neil Walker
and Washingtons left side of the

Sports brief
Ex-New York Giant Petitgout
out on bail in sex assault case
HACKENSACK, N.J. A former New York Giants
player facing a sex assault charge in New Jersey has been
released on bail.
Luke Petitgouts (PEHT-ih-gooz) attorney says the
former offensive lineman was released from the Bergen
County Jail on Thursday.
Petitgout was charged Tuesday with assault and sexual
assault after an incident early that morning at his home
in Woodcliff Lake.
Local police say the assault was committed on a person
Petitgout knows, but they havent provided additional
details.
Petitgouts attorney says his client denies the charges
and is anxious to see his daughters. He says Petitgout has
a court appearance tentatively scheduled for Nov. 19.

GIANTS
Continued from page 11
Sabean said. Im not going to address anybody at this
time other than Pablo; thats who were engaged with. It
wouldnt be fair to the other guys.
Sabean said the futures of left fielder Michael Morse,
Peavy and Vogelsong are on the backburner until third
base is resolved. Both Baer and Sabean said a resolution
could take a while.
Even speculating at how the Giants might look at left
field is tough for Sabean in this first week of free agency.
Were exploring any place that we may have a hole,
he said. I cant guarantee what were going to do with
our pending free agents to be, nor will I understand the
landscape more until Pablos resolved. Having said that,
if something jumps up, were prepared to react, bring it
to Larry and make a quick decision.
The Giants have expressed interest in other players
who could become available to fill voids on the roster.
When asked whether he might consider a hometown
discount, Sandoval said: I dont want to talk about that.
Its not my job. Ive got an agent. He focuses on that.
When hes got a deal right, I just want to talk about it.
Sandoval has appreciated seeing the Giants brass keep
other key members of the team, such as signing catcher
Buster Posey and World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner
and right-hander Matt Cain to long-term deals.
Id love to be here, Sandoval said after Fridays victory parade.
The Giants hope the Venezuelan star stays loyal to the
franchise that signed him as an amateur free agent in
2003.
Weve put out feelers all over the board with our
options, whether its other free agents or trade interest,
Sabean said. But obviously Pablos the heavy lifting
and that also meets the budget, too.
While its unclear whether Peavy or Vogelsong will
return, manager Bruce Bochy said struggling right-hander Tim Lincecum barely used in the recent postseason
run will be back in the rotation come spring training.
Lincecum signed a $35 million, two-year contract last
October. He pitched his second no-hitter in 11 months
on June 25 against San Diego.
I see him going back in the rotation. We have a need
there, I think thats fair to say, Bochy said.

AND ALL THAT JAZZ. CHICAGO

COMES TO SAN FRANCISCO. With
six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, and a
Grammy to its credit, Chicago roars into
San Francisco with the songs and dancing
that keep it a perennial favorite with theatregoers. This high voltage musical, the
tale of Roxie and Velma, murderers who
manipulate the criminal justice system of
1920s Chicago with the assistance of a
savvy trial lawyer, holds the record for the
longest-running American musical in
Broadway history (more than 7,300 performances). Book by Fred Ebb and Bob
Fosse. Music by John Kander and lyrics by
Fred Ebb. Two hours and 30 minutes with
one intermission. Through Nov. 16.
STAGE DIRECTIONS AND TICKET
INFORMATION: The SHN Orpheum
Theatre, 1192 Market St., San Francisco, is
a five-minute walk from the Civic Center
underground parking garage and is directly

OH, AND DID YOU KNOW? Actor
John OHurley, who plays lawyer Billy
Flynn, portrayed mail order catalog mogul
J. Peterman on the NBC sitcom Seinfeld.
OHurley also served as host of Family Feud
from 2006 to 2010.
THE REAL STORY: Wiki says: The
musical Chicago is based on a play of the
same name by reporter Maurine Dallas
Watkins, who was assigned to cover the
1924 trials of accused murderers Beulah
Annan and Belva Gaertner for the Chicago
Tribune. Annan, the model for the character
of Roxie Hart, was 23 when she was accused
of the April 3, 1924, murder of Harry
Kalstedt. The Tribune reported that Annan
played the foxtrot record Hula Lou over

and over for two hours before calling her

husband to say she killed a man who tried
to make love to her. She was found not
guilty on May 25, 1924. Velma Kelly is
based on Gaertner, who was a cabaret singer,
and society divorce. The body of Walter
Law was discovered slumped over the steering wheel of Gaertners abandoned car on
March 12, 1924. Two police officers testified that they had seen a woman getting into
the car and shortly thereafter heard gunshots. A bottle of gin and an automatic pistol were found on the floor of the car.
Gaertner was acquitted on June 6, 1924.

Beef or Chicken? Beef prices hit fast-food chains

By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Rising beef prices might

not mean the cost of a Whopper is going to
skyrocket, but it could mean youll be
encouraged to order a chicken sandwich
instead.
Beef prices have climbed in part because
of rising demand overseas and droughts in
recent years that have caused livestock producers to shrink their cattle herds. The average, year-to-date price for 81 percent lean
ground beef is $2.18 per pound, said Kevin
Good, an analyst at CattleFax, a Coloradobased tracker of the beef industry. Thats up
24 percent from a year ago.
The soaring prices have hurt fast-food
restaurants that feature beef as the centerpiece of their menus: Burger King, Wendys
and McDonalds the nations three
biggest burger chains all say theyre
dealing with higher beef costs.
But fast-food chains, which sometimes
pass along additional costs for ingredients
to customers, realize theres only so much
people are willing to pay for a burger. So,
theyre taking other measures to help ease
the pressure, such as slashing expenses
elsewhere or trying to get people to order
other things on their menus.
Arbys, a chain best known for its roast
beef sandwiches, next week is rolling out a
new line of steak sandwiches. But without
providing details, CEO Paul Brown said the
company is also looking for more opportunities to promote chicken, which on
average accounts for about 10 percent of
sales for the chain.
There are certain things you can do,

quarter from a year ago.

Wendys on Thursday also announced a
plan to cut costs by $30 million to offset
challenges, which include rising beef costs.
Spokesman Bob Bertini declined to specify
how Wendys is adjusting its marketing
strategy to deal with rising beef costs. But
he said our varied core menu with many
chicken and salad options gives us
options.
To drive customer traffic in the U.S.,
McDonalds said its working to keep prices
down despite its rising costs for ingredients. To counter pressures, which include
weak sales, McDonalds Chief Financial
Officer Pete Bensen said the company is
working with third-party experts to analyze
its cost structure, including staffing levels.
That doesnt mean fast-food customers
will be shielded from rising beef costs
entirely. Chipotle raised prices nationally
by about an average of 6 percent this past
year, with the company citing higher costs
for ingredients, including beef. But
Chipotle is enjoying strong sales growth
The average, year-to-date price for 81 percent lean ground beef is $2.18 per pound.Thats up and is more confident about its ability to
raise prices without scaring off customers.
24 percent from a year ago.
Companies arent expecting higher beef
which is promote different items, Brown reached a point where they could no longer prices to ease up anytime soon.
John Harrington, publisher of Hastings,
said in an interview this week when asked be ignored. The dish was introduced in
Nebraska-based Feel of the Market who anahow the company is dealing with rising 2005 and taken off the menu in 2012.
Burger Kings website is also currently lyzes the cattle market, said livestock probeef costs.
Alex Macedo, president of Burger Kings promoting its Italian Original Chicken ducers are just starting to replenish their
North American region, also said earlier Sandwich, as well as a deal for 10 chicken herds after a drought in recent years. As
such, he doesnt expect prices to ease until
this year the company is pushing chicken nuggets for $1.49.
Burger King is working with fran- 2017.
more aggressively to offset rising beef
It just takes so long two to three years

15-year-old budding farmer Tom (Timothee

McConaugheys widowed pilot-turned-

THE DAILY JOURNAL

a former NASA pilot, still believes in sciences capacity for greatness. He seethes:
We used to look up in the sky and wonder
about our place in the stars. Now we just
look down and wonder about our place in the
dirt.
The spirit of wonderment, too, has sometimes lacked in our movies. Nolan - who
shot in both 35mm and 70mm and prefers
his films massive on Imax, but not, thank
our stars, in 3-D - remains one of the few
purveyors of DeMille-sized big-screen
grandeur.
Nolan shoots for the stars, literally and
cinematically, when Coopers curiosity (he
and Murph tail a flying drone through the
wheat fields) brings him to a secret NASA
lair run by a Dr. Brand (Michael Caine).
Large-scale dreaming has gone underground.
They enlist him to pilot a desperate mission
through a wormhole to follow an earlier
expedition that may have found planets
capable of hosting human life.
Much discussion of gravity and relativity
follows, as Nolan (who co-wrote the script
with his brother Jonathan and consulted
with theoretical physicist Kip Thorne) tries
valiantly to place his quasi-plausible sci-fi
tale within the realm of mathematics and
science. Interstellar is a trip, for sure, but

its not a supernatural one. There will be no

aliens poking forth from bellies or monument-blasting battles with extraterrestrials;
its just about us humans.
The journey means Cooper will, under the
best of circumstances, be gone for years.
The parting from Murph, who resents the
abandonment, is wrenching. Hes a dutiful,
driven father stepping out to work, only in
another galaxy. All they can send him are
video messages.
His crew are Brands daughter (Anne
Hathaway), a pair of researchers (a wonderful David Gyasi and Wes Bentley) and a
robot named TARS that looks like the
monolith of 2001: A Space Odyssey if it
were a shape-shifting Transformer. Voiced
by Bill Irwin, its programed to speak with
90 percent honesty and a dash of humor.
What happens when the space ship,
Endurance, moves past Saturn and passes
through the wormhole? For starters, Nolan
and his cinematographer, Hoyte Van
Hoytema, conjure beautiful galactic
imagery, contorting space and, eventually,
dimensions.
But what hes really doing is dropping
countless big ideas -science, survival,
exploration, love - into a cosmic blender,

and seeing what keeps its meaning out there

in the heavenly abyss. As in The Dark
Knight, Nolan doesnt investigate all of
its philosophical questions so much as juggle them in an often dazzling, occasionally
frustratingly incomplete way.
But under extreme gravitational forces,
the core of Interstellar holds. It remains
tethered to Earth, toggling between barren,
otherworldly landscapes and life back home
on an increasingly uninhabitable planet.
There, Murph (now played by Jessica
Chastain) has grown into a physicist trying
to solve an essential equation.
More than anything, Interstellar makes
you feel the great preciousness of time, a
resource as valuable as oxygen. A misadventure of a few hours on one watery planet,
where relative time accelerates, costs the
astronauts decades. Returning to the ship,
Cooper watches videos of his kids growing
up before his eyes and weeps uncontrollably.
All of the visual awe, the quantum mathematics, the seeming complexity of the
hugely ambitious, nearly three hour-long
film is just stardust clouding the orbit
between a dad and his girl. Whereas most
science fiction withers out in space,
Interstellar rockets home.

farmer Cooper is tasked with leaving behind

his young son and daughter (played by
Timothee Chalamet and Mackenzie Foy) for
a space mission through a wormhole to
planets that might be fit for humanity.
If youre a parent or even if you just have
a parent, everyone has these moments, from
lesser
to
extreme
levels,
said
McConaughey. It happens all the time,
whether youre dropping your kids off at
school or going on a vacation. This is the
most extreme nature of that. This is a father
going off for a long time. Theres no guaranteed return ticket.
It would be spoilery and cerebrally taxing to explain just how and why the 44year-old Dallas Buyers Club actor and the
37-year-old Zero Dark Thirty actress
simultaneously end up as father and daughter
in the film. Yet it can be said the complexi-

ty of it all had Chastain feeling isolated

from the cast and crew during production.
I didnt realize it at the time, said
Chastain. As an actor, you create an environment where you do your work. I was isolating myself, but it wasnt until we were
traveling and having discussions recently
with Chris (Nolan) and everyone else that I
recognized, Wait. This never happened on
set. I think now that it was probably intentional on Chris part.
Murph was initially envisioned as a boy
in the original script by Jonathan Nolan,
the filmmakers brother, when director
Steven Spielberg was first orbiting the
project. It wasnt until Christopher Nolan
took control of Interstellar as cowriter
and direct o r t h at Murp h mo rp h ed i n t o a
g i rl an d t h e t o p -s ecret fi l m was n i ck n amed Fl o ras Let t er, a referen ce to

the directors daughter.

By changing the sex, it made it more
complex, said Chastain. Weve seen
many Hollywood stories about a son
becoming a man with his fathers help.
Thats almost every journey in cinema. Its
rare we see the dynamic between a father and
a daughter. If youre supposed to be protected, and youre left behind, what kind of relationship does that create?
Despite stretches of space separating
their characters, both actors needed to
wrap their heads around difficult subjects
like physics and cosmology: Cooper is a
tinkering MacGyver-like engineer, and
Murph grows up to become the NASA protege of the same professor (portrayed by
Michael Caine) who convinced her father
to get lost in space. (Casey Affleck plays
the adult rendition of Coopers son.)

Interstellar filmmaker Nolan on his robots

By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES In his secrecy-shrouded sci-fi extravaganza Interstellar, filmmaker Christopher Nolan isnt just taking
audiences to outer space. Hes also sending a couple of robots along for the ride and theyre just not on board to sweep the
floors.
The idea was that theyd been designed
to put humans at ease during extended periods of time, said Interstellar screenwriter Jonathan Nolan. They were originally conceived as Marines and programmed to engender the kind of comradery that a Marine would, so theyve
been programmed with a sense of humor
and variable levels of honesty.
The sleek grey `bots, which can be
briefly glimpsed in the movies trailers,
are walking-and-talking rectangular slabs
of shiny metal that operate like a cross
between a Swiss army knife and an
iPhone. Their blocky fragments can disconnect and rotate to perform a variety of
actions, from pushing buttons to cartwheeling across alien planets. (Paramount
declined to provide images of the characters for this story.)
In Interstellar, out next Wednesday, a
particularly acerbic robot named TARS
(portrayed by Bill Irwin) accompanies a
team of astronauts led by Matthew
McConaugheys pilot Cooper to find
humankind a new home after an ecological
disaster wrecks Earth.
If anything, hes the one Cooper gets
along with the most out of anyone up
there, said McConaughey.
In an interview with the Associated

Christopher Nolan discussed his vision of
the robots, their artificial intelligence and
importance to the films story:
AP: Yo u h av e ro b o t s i n t h i s
mo v i e . Wh at di d y o u h o p e t o
achi ev e wi th tho s e characters ?
No l an : I wanted a more realistic
approach to what a robot would be. I didnt
even call them robots in the script. I
referred to them as articulated machines
because I wanted my crew and everybody
to stop thinking of your standard idea of a
robot. I wanted to have a machine in the

film that was like a piece of gear very

tough, very resilient that had been
designed for whatever purpose best suited
it.
AP: Ho w di d y o u appro ach the

No l an: As we pushed the concept further, it became a very minimalist appearance that disguises very complex functionality. My idea was to remove any trace
of anthropomorphism, so it doesnt have
a face. It doesnt have arms and legs. It
does have a voice, and therefore a person-

ality. The great Bill Irwin, who was puppeteering and voicing TARS, was able to
give an inanimate, non-human object a

No l an: I think, in its science fiction
context, inevitably your mind goes to that
and thats fine by me. Definitely, the
spirit of 2001 hangs over the film. It
was one of our aspirations to pay homage
to that film. It also relates strongly to the
architecture of Mies van der Rohe. As we
honed in on the idea, I asked my designer
(Nathan Crowley), whos a very big fan of
modern architecture: What if we designed a
robot as if Mie van der Rohe designed a
robot? I think he really nailed it.

No l an: In my brothers draft, he was
really into robots and artificial intelligence. What I wound up focusing on was
the issue of why you need human beings
on this mission. The robots are presented
as being physically superior to humans
and able to lift heavier things and follow
orders perfectly. We kept coming back to
the idea of intuition, human adaptability
and innovation. Thats driven by a survival instinct, which a robot cant have.
That makes the robots very important in
the story. They take on their own incredible personalities, but theyre not human.
They keep you thinking about what it
means to be human.

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, Martin said.
These collaborative law practice groups
have traditionally focused on family law and
divorce but, in recognizing the benefits of
the model, are beginning to branch out into
cases involving estates, probates, trusts
and conservatorships, Martin said.
Bringing in licensed financial, mental
health and communication specialists who
are trained in collaborative law is a key
component to the comprehensive, interdisciplinary process, said Nancy Ross, a
licensed clinical social worker, communications specialist and member of the CPSV.
When people go to court theyre already
fighting, disagreeing and theyre using a
system that will emphasize that disagreement, Ross said. But what this is, it gives
everyone a voice and offers opportunities
for the families to reconnect or to understand. That is not the goal of the court. The
goal of the court is to resolve the issue and
close the case.
Legal disputes involving families are by
their nature more emotionally charged than
other branches of law, so its vital to pro-

mote healthy communication and emotional support, Ross said.
Without communication, the most
pathological interpretation will prevail.
Without talking, people will assume the
worst or misconstrue. So in addition to the
financial legacy being preserved, were
looking at the emotional health of the family, Ross said. So as were talking about
the family and death and all the hard things,
the family is starting to talk to each other in
a different way, starting to hear each other
in a different way.
The two ways to apply the collaborative
model to estates, probate and trusts is premortem and postmortem, Ross and Martin
said. When someone is creating their will or
making arrangements, engaging other family members and heirs early on can help
deter future conflict, Martin said.
Helping individuals or couples or families plan for how to deal with the estate so
that they all get to hear everybodys concerns about health and age and college
expenses for grandchildren and living
arrangements and cash flow. So that they all
understand where the money will go and
what the plan is. So its not just an individual sitting with their lawyer and then the
person dies, and [the family] realizes the
plan that was made 25 years ago wont work
anymore, Martin said.
A vital motivating factor in applying the
collaborative model to family legal disputes and specifically estates, probates and
trusts cases is to preserve a persons finan-

cial legacy, Ross said.
Although the collaborative model
requires working with a group of people,
keeping the parties away from lengthy court
litigation can save money, Martin and Ross
said.
The formality of litigation can drive the
expenses up. Yet heres a process that is
much more inclusive, not limited to legal
issues, its related to financial issues and
emotional and family issues at the same
time, Martin said. Its counterintuitive,
you would think with a team it would be
more expensive, but the reality were finding is its usually not as expensive as the
litigation model. And as an individual
(client), you have so much more control of
the outcome.
Fridays and Saturdays training is only
for attorneys, certified financial experts,
and licensed mental health professionals,
therapists and social workers. To qualify to
become a collaborative law member, professionals must be licensed in the state, have
at least five years experience and have completed a number of hours of mediation or
collaboration training, Ross and Martin
said.
CPSV currently has about 35 members and
CPSMC, which was started in 2001, has

theyre really solid members, he said.

Boehners news conference followed
McConnells first post-election meeting
with reporters by one day.
So far, neither man has made much of what
is expected to be an all-out Republican
assault on federal deficits.
The party has passed budgets through the
House in recent years that eliminate deficits
in a decade. The likely chairman of the
Senate Budget Committee, Sen. Jeff
Sessions of Alabama, said in a pre-election
interview that was his timetable as well.
Achieving that goal without tax increases
will require significant savings from benefit programs like food stamps, welfare and

possibly Medicare and Social Security over

the next decade.

District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.

During trial, Smith said his Aug. 17,
2013, assault was self-defense. The prosecution painted it as a jealous attack.
Smith and the woman dated for about three
months until August 2013 when she
returned to a relationship with a prior
boyfriend. Between Aug. 16 and Aug. 17,
Smith reportedly texted her several times
seeking her location and finally found her at
a Redwood City pub with the ex-boyfriend

where he warned her not to be with him

later. After his shift ended at 7 a.m., Smith
went to the womans home and threatened
his way inside where he found the man hiding in the bathroom and struck him several
times. Smith reportedly said Im going to
lose my job over this before fleeing. The
victim had orbital and nasal bone fractures,
a concussion, a black eye and cuts requiring
stitches.
While out on $50,000 bail in the assault

At his news conference, Boehner also said

Congress will vote to repeal the health care
law that stands as Obama signature domestic
accomplishment, but Boehner conceded the
measure may not clear the Senate despite a
new GOP majority. Democrats will have
more than enough seats to block passage.
Instead, the speaker said the Republicancontrolled Congress might seek piecemeal
changes in the law, which he said repeatedly
is hurting our economy. He mentioned

CPSMC offers monthly divorce workshops open to interested parties and those

said. The workshop isnt used as a promotional tool for collaborative law, instead it
teaches attendees the basics of divorce, provides an overview of the process and the
various procedural options, Martin said.
Martin and Ross both work in traditional
capacities in their respective fields, but
emphasized how satisfying working on collaborative law cases is.
The more weve done this work in

families, the clients and the children, as we

up street were among the complaints

from business owners. The project
widened the sidewalks, updated landscaping and replaced 100-year-old
water and sewer lines.
Like any remodel, the outcome was
worth the inconveniences, said Karen
Ulrich, a hairstylist at Reconnect Hair
Design on Lorton Avenue off
Burlingame Avenue.
The consensus is its clean, polished and looks safe, she said. Long
term, the vibe of the downtown will be
affected.
The streetscape included more pedestrian-friendly features, with sidewalks
widened from 10 to 16 feet, more landscaping and outside dining space.
Parking moved from slanted to parallel
and the streets two lanes were thinned
to a total of 20 feet. Even though parking was switched to parallel spaces,
the city only moved from 119 to 111
parking spots, Public Works Director
Syed Murtuza noted.
Welcome to a big, brand-new

Brownrigg said at the ribbon cutting
ceremony. From the beginning this
has been a public/private partnership.

and plan accordingly.
We are being honest, being honest
with Californians in terms of cost and
also ensuring that we are continuing to
maintain the University of California
in terms of academic excellence, she
told the Associated Press.
The money will allow UC to cover
rising retirement costs and hire more
faculty staff to meet the needs of its
growing student body that reached
more than 238,400 students in 2013,
according to the plan. It also will allow
the system to enroll 5,000 more
California undergraduates over the next
five years.
No tuition hike would be necessary if
the state boosts its funding enough,
said Bruce Varner, chairman of the
Board of Regents.
The state has slashed its funds for UC
by nearly $1 billion since the recession began in 2007. Some of that has
been restored, but state funding for edu-

ap p ro v ed b y a maj o ri t y v o t e.
The idea for the streetscape came
about in the 1990s, Councilwoman
Ann Keighran noted, but at the time
there wasnt funding for a project.
Its easy to forget, just a couple
years ago Burlingame Avenue was in
its worst conditions, she said at the
ceremony. It was a roller coaster full
of potholes and cracks. The lighting
was inefficient and the street lacked
charm. Great emphasis was given to
the details. If you look at the final
product, it is a world-class Burlingame
Avenue.
Details included flower baskets,
smart meters, colored pavers, bike
racks, newspaper racks, new trees and
other touches.
At 1406 Burlingame Ave. , Fiori
flower shops manager Lindsey
Ainsworth said business has picked up
recently.
Immediately when the (1400) block
right in front of us was done, she said.
Its steadily gotten better, but not any
better than it was before (the
streetscape).
The street definitely looks better
said, Alex Su, the owner of Tpumps
owner at 1118 Burlingame Ave. Su also
has Tpumps stores in San Mateo and
San Francisco.
It was pretty inconvenient in the
very beginning, but it is worth it to
have a better look of downtown
Burlingame in the long term, he
wrote in an email.
Another business, The Melt at 1401
Burlingame Ave. , which originally
closed at the beginning of May
because it said the construction was
hurting business, is reopening 11 a.m.

Nov. 20. On the reopening date, 100

percent of the sales proceeds will be
donated to the Burlingame Community
Education Foundation.
Were excited to welcome the community back to The Melt and we are in
the midst of hiring store crew and putting the finishing touches on our store
renovation, Kerri Martin, vice president of marketing at The Melt, said in
a prepared statement. We love to support our local communities, especially
nonprofits focused on kids and education.
Sam Malouf, owner of Sam Malouf
Authentic Luxury store at 1460
Burlingame Ave., actually presented
the idea for the revamp of Burlingame
Avenue to the Burlingame City
Council after he moved to the Bay Area
about 18 years ago because he noticed
the street seemed outdated. Malouf has
even added to his store. A womens
department opened about four weeks
ago.
It took 20 years to complete my
vision, but Im extremely happy with
it, he said. It was a bit of an inconvenience, but not detrimental.
Another longtime owner, Frankie
Meyer of the Lorton Avenue clothing
store Meyer-Bunje off Burlingame
Avenue, said her business was very
much affected by the construction from
the streetscape, along with Starbucks
next door remodeling, so she is glad it
has been completed.
Im delighted its finished, she
said. Were thrilled to have the place
as a showplace again as it should be.

cating UC students remains $460 million lower than it was six years ago.
The state has increased its funding
for the UC system by 5 percent each
year since 2013 and Gov. Jerry Brown
has said state funds for UC will go up
by 4 percent each year over the next
two years if tuition rates remain frozen
through June of 2017. It was unclear
Thursday what would happen if
Napolitanos plan is approved, but the
UC president has said the upcoming 4
percent increases are not enough.
The Board of Regents is scheduled to
consider Napolitanos plan at its Nov.
19 meeting.
Im measurably disappointed and I
feel like weve learned nothing from
the economic crisis that allowed us to
begin looking inward to look at
reforms to negate stacking up more
debt on the backs of students, particularly middle-class students who will
bear the brunt of this increase, said Lt.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, who sits on the
UC Board of Regents.
He added that UC recently approved
substantial pay raises for chancellors.
Assembly Speaker Toni G. Atkins,
D-San Diego, who also sits on the

Board of Regents, vowed to vote

against it, saying it is disturbing to
see students used as leverage in budget
negotiations.
The University of California Student
Association said the proposal is asking Brown to uphold his end of the bargain while the UC wants to break its
side of the agreement to keep rates
frozen.
Students fail to see how this plan
provides any greater level of predictability than todays current situation, the association said in a statement.
State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin
de Leon, D-Los Angeles, said the state
should definitely make larger investments but the UC system also has to
become more efficient.
UC has taken measures that have
saved the system $660 million since
2007, according to the plan.
For every additional $20 million in
state funding, the planned tuition
increase could be reduced by 1 percent,
UC spokesman Steve Montiel said.
Napolitano noted financial aid fully
covers tuition for nearly 55 percent of
UC undergraduates.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.
The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the
obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:
$1,060,521.08.
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and
exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a
written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file
number assigned to this case 2013-00112-CA. Information about postponements that
are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The
best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale

Islamic State suffering

setbacks in Syria, Iraq
By Zaina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT For a force that has

built its reputation on an aura of
momentum and invincibility, the
Islamic State group is now dealing
with a series of military setbacks
in Iraq and a prolonged stalemate
in the small Syrian border town of
Kobani.
Gone are the days when IS was
able to seize territory in both
countries with relative ease. Its
newfound problems, including a
loss of oil revenue, raise questions
about the extent to which it will
be able to continue recruiting
fighters who want to be with a
winner.
ISIS has run a very effective
psychological campaign to intimidate its rivals and attract support
and recruits, said Faysal Itani, a
resident fellow at the Atlantic
Council, using an acronym for the
extremists. But now, he said, the
need to maintain its reputation is
limiting the groups options.
This is particularly true in
Kobani, where a pre-emptive IS
withdrawal in the face of U.S.-led
bombings from the sky and ethnic
Kurdish fighters on the ground
could prove too costly.
They have invested a lot in this

battle, and people are noticing.

They will soon start asking whats
going on? said Ayed, a Turkeybased Syrian activist who travels
back and forth to the groups
stronghold in the Syrian city of
Raqqa. He declined to give his full
name.
The prolonged fighting in
Kobani is also distracting IS from
more strategically important areas
in Syria and Iraq where the militant extremists are already
stretched on multiple fronts.
Nearly two months after IS
launched its lightning assault on
the Kurdish-dominated town near
Turkish border, the group is
bogged down in an increasingly
entrenched and costly battle.
Syrian and Kurdish activists
estimate nearly 600 Islamic State
fighters have been killed its
heaviest losses since taking over
large parts of Syria and Iraq in a
summer blitz.
Kurdish residents say the group
appears to be struggling with personnel, bringing in inexperienced
fighters and new recruits to reinforce the town. These include
members of the IS police force
known as Hisba, reassigned from
nearby towns and cities, such as
Raqqa and Manbij, under the
groups control.

REUTERS

A rocket believed to have been launched by Islamic State forces flies from the east to the west side of the Syrian
town of Kobani during fighting.
Many Hisba members have left
Raqqa in the past two weeks,
telling people they were headed to
Kobani, Ayed said. They are not
fighters.
Kobani residents say recent U.S.
airstrikes targeting IS in Kobani
have inflicted heavy damage.
Their bodies are left for days rotting in the street without anyone
picking them up, said Farhad
Shami, a Kobani-based activist.

In a move that some observers

interpreted as a sign of weakness,
the Islamic State group recently
released a video showing a captive
British photojournalist reporting from a place identified as
Kobani. In the video, he says the
battle for Kobani is coming to an
end and IS is mopping up.
But despite seven weeks of
fierce fighting and the reinforcements on both sides, fighting

positions around Kobani remain

much the same as they did several
weeks ago, with IS controlling
about 40 percent of the town,
according to Syrian and Kurdish
activists and observers.
IS has also recently suffered
losses on several fronts in Iraq,
where it is fighting government
forces, peshmerga and Shiite militias aided by Iran and the Lebanese
Hezbollah group.

U.S. hit al-Qaida-linked militants in Syria

By Ryan Lucas and Diaa Hadid
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT American aircraft

bombed al-Qaida-linked militants
in Syria on Thursday, and activists
said another radical rebel group
also was hit an apparent expansion of the aerial campaign
against the Islamic State group to
target other extremists deemed a
threat to the West.
Initial reports indicated a French
militant the U.S. says was a top
bomb-maker was hit and possibly
killed in the attack.

The airstrikes near Syrias border with Turkey marked the second
time the U. S. has targeted the
Nusra Front, al-Qaidas Syrian
franchise and a major player in the
fight against President Bashar
Assad.
Missiles also struck a compound
of Ahrar al-Sham, one of the most
prominent brigades fighting
Assad in the countrys 3 1/2-year
civil war, activists and rebels said.
It was the first time a group other
than the Islamic State or Syrias
al-Qaida affiliate was bombed by
the U.S. since its operation began

in September.
The strikes risk further alienating many in the opposition who
view the two targeted groups as
important allies in the fight
against the Syrian regime, while
leaving Assad untouched. It also
could undermine Washingtons
already shaky plan to work with
what it considers moderate rebels
against Islamic extremists in
Syria.
The Pentagon said fighter jets,
bombers and drones struck
overnight near the Syrian town of
Sarmada against five targets

belonging to the Khorasan group,

which the U.S. says is a Nusra
Front cell plotting to attack
American interests. An initial
assessment
indicated
the
airstrikes destroyed or damaged
several of the groups bomb-making facilities and training areas, as
well as vehicles and meeting
areas, the Pentagon said in a statement.
Two Idlib-based activists, Abu
Abdul-Qader and Ahmad Kaddour,
said the strikes hit a Nusra Front
compound in the village of Harem
and a vehicle near the town of

Sarmada. The Britain-based Syrian

Observatory for Human Rights
also reported the strikes and said
at least six Nusra fighters were
killed in one location.
A senior U.S. official said one of
the targets was a French militant
and bomb-maker, David Drugeon.
The official said the U.S. is still
assessing the results of the
strikes, but believes they were
successful and that it appears
Drugeon was hit. The official was
not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
