Redwood City has changed dramatically since Councilwoman Barbara Pierce

Not only has the citys skyline

Thursday.
When I first started, some council meetings were not so

Pierce can expect to be praised by her council colleagues

Winter weakening the local housing market


Experts project San Mateo County market softening to continue into next year
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As the weather has cooled, so


has the local real estate market, as
reports show there are more homes
on the market selling for less
money than months prior.

The average home sale price


across San Mateo County hit
$1.56 million in October, marking a bit of a slump from the peak
annual sales price of about $1.66
million in June, and there are currently about 100 more homes for
sale than when the market was

hotter and tighter, according to a


report from the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors, or SAMCAR.
Real estate professionals attribute the market softening in part to
the slump in sales which typically
comes during the winter, as fewer

deals take place during the holiday


season.
But for those interested in entering the market and finding a home
which is considered relatively
affordable, compared to the prices
which have skyrocketed recently,
experts say there may some be

cause for optimism.


It has cooled down a little bit,
not a whole lot, compared to what
we had in the spring when it was
completely insane said Chuck
Gillooley, a Realtor in San Carlos

New library scaled down to meet budget Police reports


Good gourd

Boulevard in Foster City before 10:13
p.m. Friday, Nov. 27.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The details of the coastsides new library


are taking shape after the Half Moon Bay City
Council voted on a slightly smaller building
to keep costs within the budget its jointly
funding with the county.
The council voted Tuesday to replace the
current less than 8,000-square-foot facility
near downtown with a 22,000-square-foot
building, a slightly scaled-down version from
the 25,000-square-foot structure previously
discussed.
With a nearly $23 million budget for the
project that will serve Half Moon Bay and 10
unincorporated communities along the coast,
the council is working collaboratively with
the county Board of Supervisors as well as the
San Mateo County Library JPA.
In addition to unanimously approving the
smaller size, the city also approved a design
that was heavily favored by the public during
recent outreach efforts, according to city officials. The library became a somewhat controversial topic amongst residents who raised
concern by the size and cost of the new facility. While the scaled-down version was in
part a response to budgetary restrictions, it
also offered a compromise for those who
sought a smaller project.
Im very excited to be moving forward
with a new library! The 22,000-square-foot
library may not please everyone. But Im
confident it will serve us well and far into the
future as long as we build it with flexibility
and sustainability in mind, Vice Mayor
Debbie Ruddock wrote in an email. Im confident that the passion and commitment of so
many library supporters and volunteers will
make it a warm, inviting and happening place
to be.
The council was presented with the projected costs, which included an average of more
than $6 million in soft expenses for things
like preparing an environmental review of
the facility. A 25,000-square-foot library
would have gone over budget at $25.5 million and a 19,500-square-foot building would
have been under budget at $21.3 million. The

San Bernardino massacre spurs concerns about fiance visa program


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The woman who carried


out the San Bernardino massacre with her
husband came to the U.S. last year on a special visa for fiances of U.S. citizens, raising
questions about whether the process can adequately vet people who may sympathize with
terrorist groups.
Authorities said Friday that Pakistani citizen Tashfeen Malik, 27, pledged allegiance
to the Islamic State group and its leader under
an alias account on Facebook just moments
before she and her husband, Syed Farook,
opened fire on a holiday banquet for his coworkers, killing 14. They later died in a gunbattle with police Wednesday.

Malik, who had been


living with her family in
Saudi
Arabia
and
Pakistan, had passed several government background checks and entered
the U.S. in July 2014 on a
K-1 visa, which allowed
her to travel to the U.S.
and get married within 90
Tashfeen Malik days of arrival.
Malik was subjected to a vetting process
the U.S. government describes as vigorous

worked. The process was began when she


applied for a visa to move to the United
States and marry Farook, a 28-year-old
Pakistani-American restaurant health inspector for the county who was raised in Southern
California.
Foreigners applying from countries recognized as home to Islamic extremists, such as
Pakistan, undergo additional scrutiny before
the State Department and Homeland Security
Department approve permission for a K-1
visa.
It was not immediately clear what information Malik provided as a part of the background check by the State Department and
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
or when she became radicalized.

This is not a visa that someone would use


because it is easy to get into the US, because
there are more background checks on this
type of visa than just about anything else,
said Palma Yanni, a Washington-based attorney who has processed dozens of K-1 visas.
But fingerprints and biometrics and names
arent going to tell you what is in somebodys head unless they somewhere have
taken some action.
The governments apparent failure to detect
Maliks alleged sympathies before the shootings will likely have implications on the
debate over the Obama administrations
plans to accept Syrian refugees. Attorneys
representing Farooks family deny that he or
his wife had extremist views.

Q&A on shooting suspects


DOES THE ASSAULT HAVE
A LINK TO TERRORISM?

REUTERS

Hillary Clinton delivers remarks on gun violence prevention at the Brady Bear Awards Gala.

California shooting does


not fit familiar gun debate
By Kathleen Henessey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON As investigators search for a motive behind


the deadly rampage in San
Bernardino,
politicians
are
searching for a way to talk about
it.
The details of the California
massacre at a holiday party
pointing at a possible link to
Islamic militants and raising questions about domestic extremism

quickly
knocked both
Republicans and Democrats off
their talking points, upending
what has become a grim and predictable ritual in American politics.
Democrats who have vowed to
use every mass shooting as a

moment to call for new gun laws


were tempering there rallying
cries. Republicans who point to
mental health services as the solution had begun to blame extremist
views.
In an interview Friday morning,
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said we
have a violence problem in
America but added its not exclusive to guns. A U.S. citizen with a
clean background but extremist
views is perhaps the most significant threat, he said.
That is a very significant, difficult threat to confront, the
Florida Republican said on CBS
This Morning.
Hillary Clinton also moved
carefully in that direction. Its
becoming clearer that we are dealing with an act of terrorism, she

said Thursday. It does raise some


serious questions about how we
need to be protecting ourselves.
Addressing those questions will
become a far more complex debate
with fewer clear-cut policy prescriptions than the well-trod
conversation over gun control.
President Barack Obama has said
he worries about the difficulties of
preventing a homegrown or lonewolf attacker on U.S. soil and
the limits of security measures to
prevent them. But proposals for
tighter domestic security measures
or expanded intelligence gathering powers are politically fraught.
For Republicans the issue could
become quick campaign fodder
although they risk politicizing a
national security threat, without
offering a clear alternative.

CITY GOVERNMENT
At its Dec. 1 meeting the Hal f Mo o n Bay Ci ty Co unci l reorganized and named Ri ck Ko wal czy k to serve as mayor and Debbi e
Ruddo ck to serve as vice mayor. Outgoing mayor Mari na Fras er
remains on the council.

The FBIs announcement does not mean that the


agency has concluded Syed Farook, 28, and his
wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27, were terrorists only
that investigators have gathered enough
preliminary information to move their probe in
that direction.
Thats a step beyond earlier this week, when
police said they knew nothing conclusive about
the possible motivation of Farook or his wife.
David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBIs Los
Angeles office, said in Los Angeles on Friday that
the shooters attempted to destroy evidence,
including crushing two cellphones and discarding
them in a trash can.
The husband and wife used homemade
explosives and assault-style rifles in the attack on
a holiday party of Farooks co-workers, authorities
say, but much remains unknown.
A U.S. law enforcement official said Friday that
Malik, who later died with Farook in a gunfight
with police, used an alias on Facebook to make
her declaration of support for the Islamic State
and its leader. But there is no sign anyone from
the group communicated with her or provided
any guidance for the attack.
FBI Director James Comey noted the bureaus
investigation so far has shown no evidence that
the suspects were part of a larger group or
members of a terror cell.

ARE THERE ANY


OTHER INDICATIONS OF A
POSSIBLE TERRORISM LINK?
On Thursday, a U.S. intelligence official said Farook
had been in contact with known Islamic
extremists on social media.
But the official said the contact was with people
who werent significant players on our radar and
dated back some time. There also was no
immediate indication of any surge in
communication ahead of the shooting.
Farook had no criminal record, and he and his
wife werent on the FBIs radar before the
shooting. Also, police are looking at the possibility
that the shooting was tied to a workplace dispute.
Investigators say they had more than 1,600 bullets
with them when they were killed and well over
4,500 rounds of ammunition at their home.
Chesley said it wasnt unusual for gun owners
Farook owned two pistols, and also had two rifles
to buy thousands of rounds of ammunition
to save money.

WHAT DID THE


FAROOKS FAMILY KNOW?
Nothing, according to attorneys David Chesley
and Mohammad Abuershaid, who represent
Farooks mother and three siblings.
Farooks mother, Rafia Sultana Farook, lived with

the couple in a modest Redlands apartment but


never saw anything that would suggest they were
planning a massacre at a holiday party for
Farooks co-workers or building explosives for use
in the attack, the attorneys told reporters in Los
Angeles. The mother stayed mostly to herself at
the home, upstairs, and everyone was in shock
after details of the rampage emerged, Chesley
said.
We all want an answer for what motivated the
attacks, Chesley said. We cant jump to
conclusions.
Family and friends have expressed disbelief that
the quiet, religious couple staged the deadly
attack.
Friends knew Farook by his quick smile, his
devotion to Islam and his talk about restoring
cars.They say they didnt know he was busy with
his wife building pipe bombs and stockpiling
thousands of rounds of ammunition for the
assault on Farooks colleagues from San
Bernardino Countys health department.
The dead in Wednesdays attack ranged in age
from 26 to 60, and 21 were injured.

WHO IS TASHFEEN MALIK?


In the days since the shooting, only sparse details
have emerged about her life.
Farook told friends he met his future wife online
and she was Pakistani. Malik arrived in the U.S. on
a K-1 visa for fiancies and with a Pakistani passport
in July 2014, authorities said.
The two were married Aug. 16, 2014, in nearby
Riverside County, according to their marriage
license. Both listed their religion as Muslim. The
couple had a 6-month-old daughter; they left the
baby with relatives Wednesday morning before
the shooting.
Pakistani intelligence officials say Malik moved
as a child with her family to Saudi Arabia 25 years
ago. They say the family is originally from the
Pakistani town of Karor Lal Esan, about 200 miles
southwest of the capital of Islamabad in Punjab
province.
Malik didnt stay in Saudi Arabia, eventually
returning to Pakistan and living in the capital
Islamabad, though she returned to Saudi Arabia
for visits.
Farook attended Dar Al Uloom Al Islamiyah
mosque in San Bernardino. Gasser Shehata, who
also went to the mosque, said Farook would come
to the mosque about three times a week, usually
during his lunch break from work as a San
Bernardino County health inspector. His wife
didnt join him, he said.
Shehata said he saw Malik sitting in Farooks car
once about nine months ago wearing a niqab, a
veil that covers a womans face except her eyes.
The family attorneys described Malik as a softspoken, very private housewife who spoke
broken English and lived in Pakistan until she was
18 or 20 years old. Following religious tradition
in their home, men and women would remain
separated during social visits, and Malik wore a
burqa, a robe-like garment that covers most of
the face and is the most conservative Islamic
apparel worn by women. Farooks brothers had
never seen her face.

Man gets 32 months in


state prison for chase, standoff
One of two Oakland men accused of fleeing San Mateo police and starting a
lengthy SWAT standoff after they were
allegedly caught stealing from cars was
sentenced to 32 months in state prison
Friday, according to the San Mateo County
District Attorneys Office.
Oakland resident Walter Mitchell, 26,
was also ordered to pay $10,000 restitution to one of three victims.
His defense attorney asked the court to
delay sentencing until after Christmas so
he could spend time with a newborn and
ailing grandmother, but the judge denied
the request.
Mitchell pleaded no contest to felony
commercial burglary and felony reckless
evading in October for a mini-crime spree
in January.
The second suspect, Andre DupreeLafleur Jr. , 22, pleaded no contest to
felony auto burglary and will be sentenced
in January, according to prosecutors.
Mitchell and Dupree-Lafleur allegedly
broke into cars in the Central Parking
Garage at East Fourth and Ellsworth
avenues in the evening of Jan. 7, prosecutors said.
They later crashed their vehicle after
being chased by police and both occupants ran from the scene. Mitchell
allegedly pointed a handgun at a police
officer as he fled. Dupree-Lafleur was found
walking nearby, prosecutors said.

Shoplifting suspect who allegedly


left 11-year-old behind arrested
A woman who allegedly left her 11-yearold daughter behind at a Daly City Target
store after being confronted by the store
security guards for shoplifting has been

Serramonte Boulevard, according to
police.
Security guards at the store told police
they saw a woman and a child concealing
items in a shopping bag. The guards confronted the two as they were exiting the
store with stolen merchandise, police
said.
The woman, later identified as Medina,
told the officers they couldnt arrest her
daughter because she was only 11. As an
officer attempted to detain the girl,
Medina allegedly told her to fight the officers and run, according to police.
The girl bit one of the guards on the
shoulder and Medina left the store with her
infant daughter, leaving the 11-year-old
behind, police said.
Child protective service officials were
called and took custody of the 11-year-old,
according to police.
The three suspects have been booked

Police arrest man who allegedly
threatened roommate with knife
Police arrested a 29-year-old San Bruno
man Thursday morning after he allegedly
brandished a knife at his roommate and
threatened to kill him.
At 6:39 a.m., officers responded to a
report of a man with a knife inside a home
located in the 500 block of Huntington
Avenue, according to police.
The caller told police he had been
involved in an argument with his roommate, identified as Andre Choc-Hernandez,
police said.
During the argument, Choc-Hernandez
allegedly told the victim he was going to
kill him as he made stabbing motions with
the knife toward the victim, according to
police.
The victim, fearing for his safety, left
the home and called police.
When officers arrived, they found ChocHernandez had locked himself inside the
home and refused to come out, police said.
For safety reasons, officers chose not to
enter the home by force, but instead to
monitor the home. Later in the day, officers were able to make contact with ChocHernandez and he was taken into custody
without incident, according to police.
Officers arrested Choc-Hernandez on
suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon
and booked him into the San Mateo
County Jail.
No injuries were reported during the incident, police said.

Police said the suspect assaulted an officer and tried to take his firearm during the
struggle.

Charges dropped against 14


who chained themselves to trains
SAN FRANCISCO A San Francisco
area district attorney has dropped charges
against 14 protesters who chained themselves to commuter trains a year ago and
shut down a West Oakland station.
The protesters, called the Black Friday
14, were reacting to a grand jury decision
not to indict a white police officer in
Ferguson, Missouri, in the August 2014
killing of Michael Brown, who was black.
Alameda County DA Nancy OMalley
charged each protester with a misdemeanor
crime. On Friday, she dropped the charges
after protesters acknowledged the threat
their actions could have caused to public
safety.
Protesters also participated in a restorative justice process where they spoke
about the circumstances behind the broader Black Lives Matter movement.
The Bay Area Rapid Transit station was
closed for two hours on Black Friday
2014.

Chicken of Sea, Bumble Bee tuna deal melts


By Marcy Gordon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Chicken of the Sea


and Bumble Bee have called off their
proposed merger after the
Obama administration
told the companies
it would hurt competition in the
U.S. canned tuna
market.
The
Justice
Dep art men t
announced Friday
that
the
deal,
announced a year ago
between Thailands largest
seafood company and Bumble Bee
Foods of the U.S., was off. If Thai
Union Group, owner of Chicken of the
Sea, had bought Bumble Bee, it would
have combined the second- and third-

largest sellers of tinned tuna in the U.S.


in a market long dominated by three
major brands.
The third major brand is StarKist
Co., based in Pittsburgh, a subsidiary
of Dongwon Industries of Seoul, South
Korea. Bumble Bee, which is
owned by the British
investment firm
Lion Capital
LLP,
is
based in
S a n
Di e g o .
T r i Un i o n
Seafoods,
the Thai Union
subsidiary operating as Chicken of the
Sea International, also is based in San
Diego.
Consumers are better off without
this deal, Assistant Attorney General

Bill Baer said in a printed statement.


He said the two companies knew or
should have known that competition
already is lacking in the canned tuna
market, and more consolidation would
make the situation worse.
Bumble Bee CEO Chris Lischewski
confirmed in a statement that the two
companies had mutually agreed to terminate the deal. During the last year,
Bumble Bee has conducted business as
usual and now has a renewed focus to
execute its vision for the company well
into the future, Lischewski said.
Representatives
of
Tri-Union
Seafoods didnt immediately return
telephone calls seeking comment.
When the deal was announced in
December 2014, Thai Union said its
purchase of Bumble Bee would be its
largest acquisition, and would boost its
earnings by reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Congress revives the Export-Import Bank


By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a victory for the


business establishment over tea party
conservatives, Congress has revived
the federal Export-Import Bank five
months after allowing it to expire.
The bank is a small federal agency
that makes and guarantees loans to
help foreign customers buy U. S.
goods. A measure extending it through
2019 was included in a massive transportation bill that cleared the House

and Senate late Thursday and is headed


for President Barack Obamas signature.
The development was cheered by
business groups like the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce, which say the Ex-Im
Bank is necessary for U.S. competitiveness since most overseas competitors rely on similar government help.
But conservatives pushed by the billionaire GOP Koch Brothers decried
the development, arguing that the
bank amounts to government interference in the free market and many of its
beneficiaries are large corporations

Germany steps up
military mission
against IS group
By David Rising
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN Germany stepped up its contribution to the fight against the Islamic State
group on Friday, with lawmakers overwhelmingly voting in favor of sending
reconnaissance jets, a tanker plane and a
frigate to provide broad noncombat support
to the U.S.-led coalition flying airstrikes
against the militants.
The move answers a call for help from
France following last months deadly attacks
in Paris. IS militants claimed responsibility
for the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds.
On Friday, Belgian and French authorities
said they were hunting two new suspects in
the Paris carnage. The men used fake identity
cards and sent money to a relative of the man
who orchestrated the attacks the day before
the ringleader died in a shootout with French

police, the Belgian prosecutors office said.


The German Parliament voted 445 in support of the mission against IS and 146
against, with seven abstentions. The plan
received wide support from the ranks of
Chancellor Angela Merkels governing
coalition, a week after the German leader
assured French President Francois Hollande
that Germany would act quickly to help its
ally.
German opposition lawmakers, however,
questioned the effectiveness of military
operations against the extremists. You
wont fight IS that way. Youll only strengthen it, Left Party lawmaker Sahra
Wagenknecht told Parliament.
Her criticism echoed the concerns voiced
by Nicolas Henin, a French journalist who
was held hostage by Islamic State militants
for 10 months until being freed in April
2014. Henin told the Associated Press that
while using military muscle against the

group shouldnt be ruled out, it should only
be a small part of a broader strategy.
The party that will win is not the party
that will have the most powerful, the most
modern or the most expensive weaponry or
even the bravest fighters, Henin said. The
side that will win ... is the party that will

have the Syrian people on its side. By bombing Syria, we are pushing the Syrians into
the hands of IS.
The 134 million-euro ($145 million)
German mission will see two Tornado reconnaissance planes sent to Turkeys Incirlik
base as early as next week.

OPEC decides to keep oil production at current high level


By George Jahn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA OPEC nations decided Friday


to keep producing oil at their current high
levels, effectively acknowledging their
inability to push up crude prices.
An attempt to nudge the cost of oil higher would have involved lowering output.
Instead, the organizations endorsement of
present output, which is more than 1.5 mil-

lion barrels a day above the formal ceiling


of 30 million barrels, is likely to push the
price of oil down further.
The ministers of the Organization of the
Petroleum Exporting Countries appeared to
have little choice. Major producing nations
in the cartel were opposed to reducing output. Instead, OPEC is poised to produce
more oil.
Iran, which once pumped around 4 million barrels a day and is now down to about

half that, is preparing to come back fully on


line once it sheds nuclear-related sanctions
in a few months.
Senior oil official Amir Hossein
Zamaninia said last week Iran hopes to
bring an extra 500,000 barrels on the market by early next year. He said he hopes the
extra output will be accommodated within
OPECs formal ceiling of 30 million barrels
a day.
Arriving for Fridays meeting, Iranian oil

minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said Iran


is ready to discuss a ceiling for its production but only after his country makes a
full return to the market.
Iraq is also resurgent. The country has
seen the fastest rise in crude production in
the world this year. It was pumping more
than 4 million barrels a day last month and
was responsible for last months biggest
monthly rise in output among all OPEC
countries.

Belgians seeking two
new suspects in Paris attacks probe
BRUSSELS Belgian and French authorities were hunting two new suspects Friday in the Paris attacks who they
say used fake identity cards around Europe and sent money
to a relative of the man who orchestrated the attacks the day
before the ringleader died in a shootout with French police.
The two men, carrying bogus ID in the names of Samir
Bouzid and Soufiane Kayal, had been traveling in a
Mercedes with another Paris attacks fugitive, Salah
Abdeslam, when the car was checked Sept. 9 at the
Hungarian-Austrian border, the Belgian Federal
Prosecutors office said in a statement Friday.
The same Kayal ID was used to rent a house in the Belgian
town of Auvelais that authorities have searched as a possible site for making the suicide bombs used in the Nov. 13
Paris attacks, the prosecutors office said.
The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for
those gun-and-bomb attacks that killed 130 people and
wounded hundreds in Paris.
Belgian authorities said about 6 p.m. on Nov. 17, four
days after the Paris attacks, the false identity card in the
name of Bouzid was used at a Western Union office in the
Brussels area to send a 750-euro ($817) money order to
Hasna Ait Boulhacen, cousin of the purported attack ringleader, Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
Both Boulhacen and Abaaoud died a day later when French
police stormed their hideout in a Paris suburb.
The two new suspects are being actively sought by
Belgian and French police services, the prosecutors office
said.

Nightclub in Egypt
firebombed after dispute; 16 killed
CAIRO Two men who were denied entry to a nightclub
later returned with others and firebombed it early Friday,
setting off a blaze that killed all 16 people who were
trapped inside by the smoke and flames, authorities said.
Terrorism was quickly ruled out as the cause of the attack
at the El Sayad restaurant and club in Cairos Agouza district. Egypt has been battling a growing Islamic insurgency
in recent months.
The overnight fire that came on the first day of the weekend in Egypt also injured three other people.
Police were searching for six people suspected in the
attack, which occurred after two of them were not allowed to
enter the club, said Interior Ministry spokesman Abu Bakr
Abdel-Karim.
After the two were refused entry, they went and drank
alcohol somewhere else, then brought four others with
them, arriving on three motorcycles about 6 a.m., AbdelKarim said.
They then threw a Molotov cocktail at the entrance of
the place, he said. This caused the fire and the smoke and
the 16 deaths.
No one who was inside the club survived, Abdel-Karim
said. Eleven of the dead were employees, and the other five
were not identified, he added.
The victims all died of suffocation, he said, with people
trapped inside because the fire was located at the only
entrance to the club a converted underground garage with
an apartment building on top.

Saudi Arabia will host Syrian


opposition ahead of peace talks
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Saudi Arabia is hosting


Syrian opposition groups and many
of the main rebel factions next week
in an effort to come up with a unified
front ahead of peace talks with representatives of the government in
Damascus, scheduled to begin early
next year.
The meeting is the first of its kind
in the Sunni kingdom, which is a main
backer of the Syrian opposition,
underscoring how the internationally
backed effort is the most serious yet in
attempts to end the nearly five-year
civil war. The conflict has killed more
than a quarter of a million people and
triggered a refugee crisis of massive
proportions.
The rebel factions participation
points to the evolution in the position of many of them that long rejected any negotiations with Damascus as
long President Bashar Assad was in
power. Now they are on board to
attempt a process that the United
States and its allies say must eventually lead to Assads removal but with
no timetable for it.
At the three-day gathering that
starts next Tuesday in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, the factions will try to
form a unified opposition delegation
and a platform regarding what is meant
to be a transitional period in Syria,
officials who were invited said.

vice president of the Syrian National
Coalition, the main Western-backed
opposition group. If this regime
stays, violence will continue in Syria
and there will be no stability, he

surged to its biggest gain since early
September Friday after another strong
month of hiring by U.S. employers.
The solid news on the economy
opened the way for the Federal Reserve
to begin raising interest rates back
toward normal levels later this month.
Energy stocks and the price of crude oil
fell after OPEC said it wont cut production.
Stocks started the day higher after the
Labor Department said employers added
211,000 jobs in November. That was
more than investors expected, and a
sign that consumers are still spending
and keeping the economy afloat even as
manufacturing and energy companies
are struggling.
The rally gained more power after
European Central Bank President Mario
Draghi said the ECB is ready to expand
its stimulus program if necessary. That
was a relief: stocks and bonds tumbled
Thursday after the ECB announced some
new stimulus measures, but didnt do as
much as investors expected.
His clarification of comments he
made earlier in the week gives investors
confidence that ECB will continue its
whatever is necessary course, said
Erik Davidson, chief investment officer

at Wells Fargo Private Bank.


The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 369.96 points, or 2.1 percent, to
17,847.63. The Standard & Poors 500
index had its best day since Sept. 8, rising 42.07 points, or 2.1 percent, to
2,091.69. The Nasdaq composite
increased 104.74 points, or 2.1 percent, to 5,142.27 points.
When the Federal Reserve decided not
to raise interest rates in September,
investors gradually concluded that the
Fed would act in December unless it
received some big warning signs about
the health of the economy.
Those signs never came. The
September jobs report was disappointing, but hiring climbed in October, and
November hiring was solid. The government also said the economy gained
more jobs in September and October
than it initially reported.
The Fed slashed its key short-term
interest rate to near zero during the
financial crisis and it kept it low
throughout the Great Recession to
encourage lending and hiring. It hasnt
raised interest rates in nine years.
Davidson said the jobs data was as
good as investors expected, which
gives them more confidence in the state
of the economy and the Feds plans.
The markets love predictability and
this is about as predictable as you can
get, he said. In addition to the jobs

growth, Davidson said more people are


looking for work and wages are improving.
Luke Bartholomew, investment manager Aberdeen Capital Management,
said it was almost a foregone conclusion that the Fed will raise interest
rates, but what isnt clear is what will
happen after that.
It would have taken a really catastrophically bad number to put the Fed
off today, he said. Its a question of
what the path looks like next year.
Consumer discretionary stocks were
the best performers in the S&P 500.
Discount retailer Dollar Tree, toy maker
Mattel and homebuilder D.R. Horton
climbed, and Apple rose $3.83, or 3.3
percent, to $119.03, a large move for
the worlds most valuable company.
Energy stocks, however, took a beating, and almost all of the largest losses
in the S&P 500 went to energy companies. Oil cartel OPEC said it wont cut
oil production even though global
stockpiles keep growing. The price of
oil is trading near six-year lows.
The price of U.S. crude fell $1.11, or
2.7 percent, to $39.97 a barrel in New
York. Brent crude, a benchmark for
international oils, slid 84 cents, or 1.9
percent, to $43.
Meanwhile warm weather in the U.S.
is hurting demand for heating fuels like
natural gas and heating oil.

While job growth lifts most of U.S. economy, oil patch suffers
By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The falling oil and


gasoline prices that for months have coincided with strong U.S. hiring have helped
most Americans. But theyve come at a
painful cost for workers in the energy and
mining sector:
122,300 lost jobs in the past year.
Even as workers nationwide are earning
slightly more than they did a year ago, average wages have tumbled 1.5 percent to
$26.72 an hour for energy production workers. The November jobs report that the gov-

ernment released Friday illustrated the divide


between the broad economy and the ailing
fossil fuels industry: Overall, U.S. employers added a robust 211,000 jobs and the
unemployment rate held steady at a low 5
percent. But the energy industry, reeling
from falling oil prices and weakening global demand, lost 11,300 jobs.
In just 18 months, oil prices have cratered
from $107 a barrel to roughly $40. And
gasoline prices have plunged from around
$3.70 a gallon to $2.05. Those prices are
poised to fall further, with OPEC deciding
Friday to keep production running high.
One measure of the damage: Even as the

overall U.S. stock market rocketed up 2 percent on Friday, an index of oil and gas
stocks tracked by the New York Stock
Exchange fell 0.5 percent.
The industrys layoffs are expected pile up
as energy companies try to shore up their
finances in light of the sharply lower prices.
This is likely going to continue for six
months or so as things settle out, said Ken
Medlock, an economist and Senior director
at Rice Universitys Center for Energy
Studies in Houston.
Medlock said the rapid hiring that energy
companies embarked on five years ago as

Chipotle warns of sales slide as E. coli outbreak expands


By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Chipotle said Friday


that an outbreak of E. coli linked to its
restaurants sent sales plummeting by as
much as 22 percent in recent weeks and
that it could no longer reasonably estimate sales for next year.
The Denver-based chain said in a regulatory filing that sales trends have been
extremely volatile since it closed
restaurants in Oregon and Washington
in early November as a result of the outbreak.
For the final three months of the year,
it said it expects sales to be down

between 8 to 11 percent at established


locations if trends continue. Earnings
are also expected to fall to between
$2.45 and $2.85 per share for the quarter. Thats down from last years $3.84
per share.
Chipotles stock slid more than 7 percent in after-market trading. Its shares
have dropped 25 percent since midOctober. Before rescinding its outlook
Friday, the company had expected sales
for 2016 to rise in the low-single digit
percentages.
Earlier the day, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention the outbreak had expanded to nine states, with
a total of 52 reported illnesses. That was

up from the six states and 45 illnesses


as of late November.
The agency said the most recent illness started on Nov. 13.
The majority of the illnesses have
been in Oregon and Washington, where
cases were initially reported at the end
of October. Cases have now also been
reported in California, Illinois,
Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
Of the 52 people infected, the CDC
says 47 reported eating at a Chipotle
restaurant the week before the illness
started. The agency has not yet determined the ingredient that made people
sick.

shale wont likely return soon. There will be


less impetus to develop fields and increase
production as long as prices stay low.
For most American consumers and companies, cheaper energy has been an unexpected
gift. Drivers are paying less for gasoline.
Jet fuel costs have plunged for airlines and
shipping firms. Heating oil expenses have
dipped ahead of winter.
Average gas prices nationwide are likely
to slide below $2 a gallon in the next several days, bringing them to their lowest level
since March 2009, said Tom Kloza, global
head of energy analysis at the Oil Price
Information Service.

Business brief
Fight over net neutrality
rules returns to appeals court
WASHINGTON The governments latest push to make
sure consumers get equal access to the Internet faces a key
legal test as a federal appeals court considers whether to
treat high-speed service providers like public utilities.
Cable and telecom industry groups on Friday urged a
three-judge panel to throw out new regulations that forbid
online content from being blocked or channeled into fast
and slow lanes.
But two judges hearing arguments in the case seemed at
times sympathetic to government attorneys arguing that
the Federal Communications Commission had authority to
approve the rules in February.
The rules have won praise from consumer advocates and
content companies such as Netflix.

SHP plays for fourth straight CCS crown


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

When the Sacred Heart Prep football team


takes on Riordan in the Central Coast
Section Open Division III championship
game 7 p.m. Saturday at Westmont High
School, the Gators wont only be vying for
their fourth straight CCS title, theyll also
get a chance at redemption.
It was the fifth-seeded Crusaders (9-3) who
ended the sixth-seeded Gators 14-game
winning streak in their second game of the
season, 48-21, which sent a message to the

rest of CCS that this was not the same


Riordan squad that has struggled for years.
SHP coach Pete Lavorato, however, is
looking at the game as simply a chance to
win another section championship.
I dont look at it as redemption. I dont
care what happened the first game we played
against them. That seems like a season
ago, Lavorato said. Both teams have
changed so much. Weve changed a lot and I
think theyve changed a lot.
That Sept. 11 game the second game of
the season for SHP was marred by poor
tackling, which was the result of a defensive

unit that was breaking in nine new starters.


There was still a lot of experimenting
going on, Lavorato said. A lot of guys
who were playing then arent playing now.
We were making adjustments and were
still making adjustments.
While SHP (9-3) would go on to lose two
more games, the defense got better and better as the season went along. In five of their
last six games, the Gators have given up 21
points or less including just 10 points in
a 31-10 semifinal win over No. 2 Monte
Vista Christian last week.
What Im proud of is that we hung in

there, Lavorato said. We didnt say, Oh,


maybe all the stuff we were doing before, we
need to change everything. I think weve
had a pretty good year.
For the season, the Gators are allowing
just over 22 points per game, but over their
last five games which includes two CCS
playoffs games they have lowered that
number to 20 points game.
The last five, six games, weve really
solidified our defense and theyve just been
getting better and better, Lavorato said. I

SAN JOSE For two-and-half quarters, the


top-seeded Hillsdale football team went touchdown-for-touchdown with No. 2-seed Aptos in
the Central Coast Section Division IV championship game.
In the end, however, the Knights simply
could not keep pace with the machine-like
Mariners. Hillsdale led 17-13 at halftime, but
Aptos outscored the Knights 28-7 in the second half to come away with a third straight
CCS title, posting a 41-24 win over Hillsdale
at Independence High School.
[Our strategy] was just to try to score as
many points as possible and see if we can stop
them, said an emotional Mike Parodi,
Hillsdales head coach. We were unable to
keep the edge.
While both teams made big plays all night,
the one big difference was this: Hillsdales big
plays went for first downs, Aptos went for
touchdowns. Hillsdale had five plays of thirdand-9 or longer and picked up first downs each
time. Three times, Knights quarterback Brett
Wetteland hooked up with his understudy Ben
Frame who moved to wide receiver for the
title game and each time Frame picked up
the first down. Twice Wetteland went to Isaiah
Cozzolino for a total of 68 yards. Wetteland
also found Joey Sabel with a 16-yard gain for a
first down as well.
Aptos quarterback Gavin Glaum completed
only 3 of 7 passes on the night and all three
went for touchdowns. He hooked up with Joey
Riccabona twice for a total of 93 yards and
Glaum also found Fabian Chavez for a 31-yard
score.
Chavez also rushed for a touchdown.
They got a couple on us, Parodi said. They
saw something they could take advantage of.
When the Mariners werent using the big
play, they were gashing the Knights with their
Wing-T ground attack. Hillsdale had a hard
time keeping track of the ball and, with the
speed the Mariners possessed, they simply

And that team is
the ultimate team.
No doubt about
that. Look no farther than Golden
States 29.5 assists
per game, a stat that
Scott can really appreciate. He played on
the 1984-85 Lakers, who hold the NBA
assists record (31.4) and went on to capture the NBA championship with one of
those juggernauts led by Magic Johnson,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy.
Scott says it might be time to start putting the Warriors in that same category,
even though their body of work isnt
nearly as deep as, say, those Lakers
squads of the 1980s, or the Larry Bird-led
Celtics of the same era, or Michael
Jordans Chicago Bulls in the 1990s,
who won six championships over an
eight-year period.
These Warriors have only one title so far.
Clearly, they want more.
Many, many more.

Bonds back in the game, hired as Marlins hitting coach


By Steven Wine
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI If Barry Bonds thinks a fulltime return to baseball will help his Hall of
Fame chances, he could be disappointed.
Maybe hell at least help the Miami Marlins.
Bonds is joining the staff of new Marlins
manager Don Mattingly as hitting coach.
The media-shy, steroids-tainted home run
king made a rare conference call appearance
Friday to discuss his hiring, which raised his

profile just as balloting is


under way for 2016 Hall
of Fame voting.
Im a Hall of Fame baseball player with no doubt
in my mind, no doubt in
my heart, said Bonds, 51.
God knows that. Thats
all that matters to me. Ill
Barry Bonds leave the voting process
up to you guys.
Another slugger whose career was tar-

nished by steroids, Mark McGwire, was hired


this week as bench coach of the San Diego
Padres. Hall of Fame support for McGwire
has actually declined since he began coaching in 2010, and last year he received his
lowest vote total yet.
McGwire was hitting coach for Mattingly
the past three seasons when both were with
the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria first suggested
hiring Bonds, according to team president
David Samson. Mattingly seconded the idea.

Im extremely impressed with Barrys


willingness to be part of this team, and with
his excitement about being back and teaching, Mattingly said.
The Marlins need hitting advice. In 2015,
when they finished 71-91, they ranked next to
last in the majors in runs and home runs, and
last in walks an area where Bonds excelled.
Among the players hell tutor is $325 million slugger Giancarlo Stanton.

HMB faces similar style in DV title game


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Cougars, the No. 2 seed in the CCS


Division V bracket, use the philosophy of
the best defense is a good offense.
Half Moon Bay enjoys playing keepaway
from other teams and, if the Cougars can get
a lead, they are hard to beat.
Wed like to do that, said Half Moon
Bay coach Keith Holden. If we can up get
up (get a lead) and start killing clock, thats
the best way to [win].
Half Moon Bay (10-2) is unique in that it
has two, distinct styles of offense. It can run
a traditional offensive set with a receiver,
and running backs. When it has a lead, it
tends to go with a triple-option, scrum
offense, in which the quarterback takes the
snap and flips the ball into the air to a running back usually Matt Spigelman, who
has rushed for 1,352 yards this season
including 201 yards in last weeks 28-14

Were comfortable with it. We put all the
pressure on our offensive line, Holden said
following the win over Carmel last week.
It gets the ball to Spigelman, whos our
best player.
When Half Moon Bay takes on top-seeded
Pacific Grove (10-2) in the Central Coast
Section Division V championship game at
7 p. m. Saturday at Independence High

that looks very similar, style-wise, to

Pacific Grove finished in a three-way tie
for the Mission Trail Athletic League this
season. The Breakers, along with Carmel
and Soledad, finished with 6-1 lead records.
Despite being the No. 1 seed in the
Division V bracket, Pacific Grove has struggled at times this season. The Breakers are
averaging 29 points on offense, while
allowing 20. Their two playoff wins were
by a combined six points. They held off
Capuchino 17-14 in the first round before
beating Scotts Valley last week.
Holden said the Breakers like to run
wild looks on defense one of which
includes playing man-to-man coverage on
the wide receivers without any safety help.
They bring pressure. Multiple fronts,
multiple stunts, Holden said. For us, we
just need to stick with our rules and our
assignments.

Richardson takes great pride in Greens challenging road to stardom with the defending

These rst 20 games, they are among the
top two or three top teams that Ive seen,
said Scott, who got a rsthand look at that
greatness when the Lakers were blown out by
34 points a couple of weeks ago. I mean,
right now theyre on a different level than
any other team in the NBA.
And thats a good thing, a really good
thing.
The Warriors, more than any other team,
and Curry, more than any other player, have
exploited the NBAs long-running crackdown
on physical play. While some may miss Bill
Laimbeer body-slamming anyone who dared
venture into the lane, its much more fun to
watch Golden State doing its Harlem

Globetrotters impression weaving all


over the court in a magnicent tapestry,
showing off a dazzling array of passes and
dribbles, doing everything but splashing the
refs with a bucket of confetti.
Its a style of play everyone should aspire
to, a display of the game at its elegant best.
When you see a team doing it at that
level, Atlanta Hawks coach Mike
Budenholzer said Friday, it sets a great
example for teams across the league, including ourselves. Its the way we want to play,
and move the ball, and play smart basketball, and all those things. ... Theres a little
bit of fan, a little bit of, Can we get better
and improve ourselves? Theyre good for the
league.
Now that theyve set the mark for most
wins at the start of the season, the Warriors
next target is 33 as in the longest winning streak in NBA history, set by the Lakers
during the 1971-72 season. Longer term,
Golden State seems poised to make a run at

72-10 the greatest season in NBA history,


a standard established by Jordans Bulls at
the height of their dominance in 1995-96.
The Warriors werent too far off that mark a
season ago, nishing 67-15. Now, having
claimed the franchises rst title in 40 years,
the Bulls record could be in jeopardy.
They play with a purpose, and they play
with no agenda besides winning, Scott said
during a morning shootaround in Atlanta,
before the Lakers took on the Hawks. Even
though Steph is getting a lot of the accolades, which he deserves, absolutely, all the
other players on that team, all they want to
do is win.
The Warriors have been so dominant
winning by an average of more than 15
points a game, with only six victories as
close as single digits the debate seems to
have shifted, from whether anyone can possibly deny them a second straight title to
whether Curry is truly the greatest player on
the planet.

As slender as a stick and severely limited


acrobatically, Curry is hardly the prototype
for a player youd build a franchise around.
Thats still someone such as LeBron James,
who can play all ve positions and dominate
at both ends of the court.
But one gets the feeling that Curry couldnt
care less if King James is still numero uno on
the singles chart. By the time summer rolls
around, Steph and his boys will likely be celebrating another championship, having
pushed the Warriors another step closer to
securing their legacy as one of the greatest
TEAMS in NBA history.
Everyone else gets to enjoy the ride.
Even those they take down along the way.
Theyve taken chemistry to a whole new
level, said Atlanta guard Kent Bazemore,
who started his career with the Warriors and
now admires them from afar. Theyve really
shown the game of basketball is a feel-good
game.

Sharks brief
Santorellis goal helps Ducks beat Sharks 1-0
ANAHEIM John Gibson made 23 saves for his second
shutout of the season, and the Anaheim Ducks ended the San
Jose Sharks seven-game road winning streak with a 1-0
victory on Friday night.
Mike Santorellis fourth goal early in the third period was
enough for Gibson, who handed the Sharks their third
shutout loss this season and second against Anaheim. The
last time the teams met, Anton Khudobin made 31 saves in
a 1-0 win on Nov. 7 at San Jose.
Gibson made his fifth straight start with Frederik
Andersen sidelined by the flu.
Santorelli beat Martin Jones high to the glove side with a
25-foot wrist shot from the right circle after Nate
Thompson worked the puck away from Sharks captain Joe
Pavelski behind the net. Thompson was playing in his second game after missing the previous 25 while recovering
from shoulder surgery.

Greinke, Diamondbacks get $206.5M, 6-year deal


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Zack Greinke will still pitch in the NL


West. But surprise with the Arizona
Diamondbacks.
The Diamondbacks unexpectedly won the
Greinke sweepstakes, beating out the rival
Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco
Giants for the free agent ace Friday night. He
reached agreement on a $206.5 million, sixyear deal, sources told The Associated Press.
The major league ERA leader and runner-up
for the NL Cy Young Award boosted the
Dodgers to their third straight division title
this season. Then, the 32-year-old righty
opted out of his contract, leaving $71.5 million on the table and wound up with the
richest deal, by yearly average, in baseball
history.
The sources spoke to the AP on condition
of anonymity because there hadnt been an
official announcement. Fox first reported an
agreement.
Greinke was the second former AL Cy
Young winner to get a mega-contract this
week. David Price joined the Boston Red Sox
for $217 million over seven years. The
moves came as teams prepared to head this
weekend to the winter meetings in Nashville,
Tennessee.
Greinkes new deal contains deferred
money. The $34.4 million average will be the

Prices $31 million.
Earlier this offseason,
pitcher Johnny Cueto
turned down a $120 million offer from the
Diamondbacks after he
helped Kansas City win
the World Series and
Zack Greinke became a free agent.
Instead,
the
Diamondbacks reeled in an even bigger prize.
They had money to spend last February,
they signed a TV deal with Fox Sports
Arizona for more than $1.5 billion over 20
years.
Greinkes contract gave him the flexibility
to find a new home. He was in prime position,
too, after setting a career high for wins by
going 19-3 and posting a 1.66 ERA that was
the best in the majors in 20 years.
In December 2012, Greinke signed a $147
million, six-year deal with the Dodgers that
included an opt-out clause. He exercised it and
walked away from a whopping amount over
the next three years.
Out of the playoffs since 2011, the
Diamondbacks finished 79-83 last season,
13 games behind the West champion Dodgers
and also trailing the Giants, who have won
three of the last six World Series.

department Diamondbacks starters threw


the second-fewest innings in the league.
The Diamondbacks tried this season to
clear salary. In June, they traded pitcher
Bronson Arroyo to Atlanta to further reduce
their payroll.
It is more of what we are trying to do. The
money
is
definitely
important,
Diamondbacks general manager Dave Stewart
said at the time. We said that we are going to
try to do what we can to promote our young
pitchers but also give ourselves a chance to
make some savings so that we can have an
opportunity to do things at a later date.
On Friday night, they did a really big thing.
After revealing futuristic uniforms for 2016
earlier this week, Arizona found a star to wear
one.
Greinkes ERA was the lowest in the majors
since Greg Maddux had a 1.63 ERA in 1995.
Greinke had a scoreless streak of 45 2/3
innings this summer.
Greinke was durable, pitching 222 2/3
innings. A Gold Glove winner who also likes
to hit, he teamed with lefty Clayton Kershaw
to give the Dodgers a formidable 1-2 combo
at the top of the rotation.

Sox announce $217M deal for Price


BOSTON The Boston Red Sox have
announced their seven-year, $217 million
contract with AL Cy Young runner-up David
Price.

BONDS
Continued from page 11
I dont need to tell Stanton much, Bonds
said. Hes a great ballplayer. All I need to do
is tweak a couple of things here and there and
keep him motivated. Some players I may
have to work a little bit more.
Bonds is the career leader in home runs
with 762 and a seven-time NL MVP. His
playing career ended in 2007, and he has
worked as a guest instructor for the San
Francisco Giants in spring training. He has
privately tutored several players, including
Alex Rodriguez.
Bonds said hes not upset the Giants didnt
offer him a full-time position and excited to
join the Marlins.
San Francisco is my home, he said, but
this is the opportunity that came up.
Bonds said he enjoys teaching and plans to
put in long hours with Miami.
The only way Im going to be able to do
this is Ive got to be in the trenches with the

Its the richest deal ever for a pitcher.


The contract gives Price the right to opt out
after three seasons.
The sides agreed to the terms of the deal on
Tuesday, but had to wait for Price to pass his
physical.
A left-hander who was the ALs top pitcher in 2012 and the runner-up twice in seven
full major league seasons, Price has a 3.09
ERA with 1,372 strikeouts and 104 wins. He
went 18-5 with a 2.45 ERA in 2015, striking out 225.
He will try to help the Red Sox turn things
around after they finished in last place last
season for the third time in four years.

Jays introduce new GM Ross Atkins


TORONTO Toronto general manager Ross
Atkins takes over a team that made the Blue
Jays first postseason appearance in 22 years.
Atkins was introduced Friday at Rogers
Centre. He recently served as Clevelands vice
president of player personnel under Mark
Shapiro, who became Torontos president last
month.
Tony LaCava, who served as interim GM
after the departure of Alex Anthopoulos, will
return to his assistant GM role and also serve as
senior vice president of baseball operations.
The Blue Jays won the East Division title last
season with a 93-69 record. Their postseason
ended with a loss to Kansas City in the AL
Championship Series.
players to get their attention, he said. Me
being there day in and day out, I think I bring
a lot to the table. I dont know if Im going
to be good at this or not, but I will be dedicated to it.
The Marlins hitting coach last year, Frank
Menechino, will return as assistant hitting
coach. Mattingly hired Juan Nieves as pitching coach and Lorenzo Bundy as outfieldbase running coach.
Federal prosecutors pursued a case against
Bonds for nearly a decade before dropping
what remained of their criminal case in July.
But because of the taint of steroids, hes
come up short in Hall of Fame balloting.
Nearly a year ago, in his third try on the
ballot, Bonds received 202 votes for 37 percent from the Baseball Writers Association
of America. A player must receive at least 75
percent to be elected.
The voting, Bonds said, is out of his
hands.
Me coming back to the game, Im in a different capacity, he said. Im now a rookie
coach. Its not about me. Its about those
guys on the team now. Now my job is to help
other players fulfill their dreams.

Kilgore will travel with 49ers Raiders C Hudson suffers setback


with ankle injury, doesnt practice

By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Center Daniel


Kilgore will travel with the 49ers
for their game against the Chicago
Bears, San Francisco coach Jim
Tomsula said Friday.
Kilgore has not played since suffering a fractured left fibula during a
game against the Broncos in
Denver in October 2014.
Tomsula was non-committal
about whether Kilgore, who has
been rehabbing since a June 13 procedure on his left fibula, would be
activated on Saturday but did say he
would be on the team plane.
Kilgore, who has appeared in 40
games since he was drafted by the
49ers in 2011, won the starting job
at the beginning of last season. He
made seven starts before his injury.
Id like to have something to
build off of for the offseason, see
where I am, Kilgore said this week.
Its been over a year now. And Ive
been doing all this training. So Id
like to do something. I dont want
to do all this training for nothing.

Chryst suggested Thursday that
Kilgore would be eased into action

once he returns.
You have to be judicious so that
he continues to feel success without
being overused, Chryst said. You
think about how people play in the
preseason and you get a series or
two the first game.
Marcus Martin stepped in for
Kilgore as a rookie and has started
19 of the 49ers last 20 games.
I think Im ready to go, Kilgore
said. But its based on their call,
their judgment. So if they think Im
good enough to go, Im good
enough to go.
NOTES: RB Carlos Hyde (foot)
and TE Garrett Celek (ankle) did not
practice and will not make the trip
to Chicago. ... LB Michael
Wilhoite (ankle) was limited in
practice but is listed as probable.

ALAMEDA The Oakland


Raiders will likely be without center Rodney Hudson for a second
consecutive game due to a lingering right ankle sprain.
One day after being limited,
Hudson was downgraded and held
out of practice Friday. Instead, he
worked out with a team trainer on
an adjacent field.
If Hudson is held out, he will miss
the opportunity to play against the
team that drafted him when the
Raiders host Kansas City on
Sunday. The Chiefs drafted Hudson
with the 55th overall pick in 2011
before he signed with Oakland as a
free agent this past offseason.
Tony Bergstrom is expected to
start against the Chiefs if Hudson
is unable to play. The former thirdround draft pick has spent most of
his career at guard and has also
played tackle.
Bergstrom started in Week 10
against Minnesota and in the
Raiders win over Tennessee last
week. He has drawn praise from the

coaching staff
for his play in
Huds o n s
absence
but
Hudson
is
Oaklands highest-paid offensive lineman
and the anchor
of the offensive
Rodney
line.
Hudson
The Raiders
struggled to run the ball in the two
games Hudson did not play. There
were also problems with the center
exchange between Bergstrom and
quarterback Derek Carr in the win
over the Titans. Carr fumbled
twice, losing one that led to
Tennessees go-ahead touchdown
in the fourth quarter.
I think for the most part Tonys
done a pretty good job of filling
in, coach Jack Del Rio said.
Rodney is a Pro Bowl-level player
in my opinion. So when youre
missing him, yeah, youre missing
one of your better players. But we
feel like we have a good group.
Hudson started the first eight
games of the season before hurting

his ankle midway through the


fourth quarter of the Raiders 38-35
loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on
Nov. 8. He did not play the following week against Minnesota but
returned to start against Detroit
before being forced out of the game
after aggravating the injury.
While he might not play this
week, Hudsons injury doesnt
appear to be serious. The 6-foot-2,
300-pounder is out of the walking
boot hes been forced to wear periodically this season and walked
through the Raiders locker room
Friday without a noticeable limp.
Oaklands coaches, though, are
taking a cautious approach with
Hudsons rehab and will continue to
lean on Bergstrom in the interim.
No tes : WR Amari Cooper was
named rookie of the week. Its the
third time this season that Cooper
has been honored. . RB/KR Taiwan
Jones (knee) did not practice after
being limited on Thursday. He is
doubtful. . Safety Charles Woodson
(shoulder) is probable, CB Neiko
Thorpe (knee) is questionable
while LB Neiron Ball (knee) and
CB Keith McGill (ankle) are out.

with Aptos offense, so too did the Mariners

Hillsdale, showed just how tough and dynamic a player he is. He finished with a game-high

a majority of those yards coming between the


tackles. He also caught four passes for 42
yards.
Im at a loss for words to describe that kid
(Taylor), Parodi said.
Hillsdale caught the first break just one play
into the game when Aptos fumbled the ball on
the first play from scrimmage, which was
recovered by Hillsdales Taylor at the
Mariners 27. It took eight plays to get into
the end zone, and the Knights converted on
third-and-26 on a Frame 24-yard catch. On
fourth-and-1 at the 3, Taylor lined up at quarterback, took the snap and bulled into the end
zone to put Hillsdale up 7-0.
Aptos needed just four plays to respond.
After picking up an initial first down, Glaum
hit Riccabona for a 35-yard score off playaction. A missed extra point maintained
Hillsdales lead, 7-6.
Hillsdale got a 30-yard field goal from Josh
Janakes on its next possession to extend its
lead to 10-6 and the Knights defense kept
Aptos in check for a couple drives.
But when Hillsdale turned the ball over on
downs at the Aptos 31, the Mariners took over

and drove 69 yards for a 13-10 lead on just


seven plays, with Chavez scoring from 12
yards out with 5:34 left in the first half.
But the Knights showed how resilient they
can be. Starting from their own 43, they
marched to the end zone on nine plays, with
Taylor, again playing quarterback, finding
pay dirt from 2 yards away to give Hillsdale a
17-13 lead with 1:07 left in the half.
Hillsdale took the second-half kickoff, but
fumbled the ball away near midfield. Aptos
took advantage, needing just one play to take
a 20-17 lead. Again on play-action, Glaum
found a wide open Riccabona for a 58-yard
scoring strike.
But Hillsdale didnt panic. Once again, the
Knights re-took the lead when they drove 73
yards on nine plays. A 30-yard catch by
Cozzolino on a post pattern gave Hillsdale a
first-and-goal at the Mariners 6-yard line.
Taylor took the handoff on the ensuing play
and fumbled the ball at the 1, only to be recovered by Hillsdale in the end zone for a 24-20
lead.
Back came Aptos. The Mariners drove 61
yards on 11 plays to take the lead for good,

27-24 with 2:22 to play in the third quarter.


The backbreaker for the Knights came on
their next possession. Forced to punt for the
first time in the game, Aptos Jack Harris came
off the left end to block the punt, giving
Aptos the ball at the Hillsdale 31. Glaum
hooked up with Chavez for a 31-yard score and
a 34-24 lead with 10:49 to play.
Hillsdale drove to the Aptos 42 on its next
drive, but Wettelands pass intended for
Cozzolino was intercepted at the 5-yard line.
The Mariners proceeded to drive the length of
the field for a dagger touchdown to put them up
41-24 with 7:57 to play.
Despite the loss, the Knights enjoyed their
best season in over two decades. They captured the Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division title and enjoyed an 11-game winning streak.
But there would be no 12th in a row on this
night.
[Aptos is] a good team. Theres a reason
theyve been four straight CCS championship
games, Parodi said. Our kids, I cant say
enough about our kids. I couldnt have asked
for anything more.

Green is backing up that big-money deal


he signed over the summer $82 million
for five years and had consecutive tripledoubles in back-to-back nights last Friday
and Saturday, at Phoenix and home against
Sacramento. Green became the first
Warriors player to do so in two straight
games since Wilt Chamberlain in 1964.
He got a huge contract this summer and
he came back a better player, interim coach
Luke Walton said. Hes playing at an AllStar level right now.
Selected 35th overall by Golden State in
the second round of the 2012 draft, Green
emerged as the Warriors starting power forward last season when David Lee injured his
left hamstring in the final preseason game.
He kept the job, too, averaging 11. 7
points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists and
regularly defending the top opposing player to finish second in the NBA Defensive
Player of the Year vote.
He is scoring 12.7 points this season and

pulling down a team-leading 8.5 rebounds.


He does it all, reigning NBA MVP
Stephen Curry said. He defends at a high
level, hes so versatile the way that he can
guard multiple positions. And offensively a
huge outlet to have, for me especially in
traffic situations to get the flow of the
offense going. Like everybody else in this
locker room, hes a gamer. Hes a guy that
shows up every night.
Greens contributions during the playoffs
complementing Curry were a big reason
Golden State captured its first championship in 40 years. He averaged 13. 7
points, 10.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists and
had a triple-double in the Game 6 NBA
Finals clincher at Cleveland.
Richardson has kept tabs on Greens
career from high school to now, when he
has become arguably Golden States secondmost important player behind Curry.
I think Draymond shocked everybody
besides himself, Richardson said, noting

their humble starts. It means everything


for us. Its a city where not a lot of guys
make it out of there. Theres a lot of violence and not a lot of opportunity. To see
another person make it out of Saginaw
doing well not doing well, doing great
its an unbelievable experience. That just
shows how, one, hes a winner, his attitude
as a leader and his work ethic to be in a position hes in. Its hard to describe what he
does, because he does everything right. Im
just proud of him.
In September, Green returned to East
Lansing and made a $3.1 million donation
to the athletic department to help the mens
basketball program that did so much for
him. To this day, Izzo credits Richardson
and Mateen Cleaves for keeping everybody
close.
I love that about our whole program,
Izzo said. I keep saying that and nobody
believes me but its special here, its just
different. Theyre back all the time.

Froome delivers
on promises by
releasing tests
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS Making good on a


pledge he made in winning the Tour
de France, Chris Froome released
the results of laboratory tests on his
body to counter skeptics in France
who have repeatedly expressed
doubts that he rides clean.
The lab in London measured how
efficiently Froomes body uses oxygen, and his power and endurance. The
results were published late Thursday
on the website of Esquire magazine.
One test of VO2 max, an indication of how effectively the body
transports oxygen from the air to
muscles during intense exercise,
measured Froome at 84.6, more
than double what it would be in the
general population.
Off the charts. Weve never had
anything close to that in the lab,
it quoted one of the labs sports
scientists, Phillip Bell. Froomes
values are close to what we believe
are the upper limits for VO2 peak
in humans.
The lab also found that Froome
can produce up to 525 watts of power
when he pedals, and can also sustain
a very high power output 419
watts for 20-40 minutes. Such
numbers could help explain why
Froome not only looks comfortable
on the Tours steep and long mountain climbs, but can also squeeze out
bursts of speed when necessary.

South India rains ease but poor urban planning feeds misery
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW DELHI The relentless rains that


lashed southern Indias Tamil Nadu state for
three days eased Friday, but the misery of
tens of thousands of people was far from
over, with large parts of the main city still
underwater along with the regions biggest
airport.
As Chennai, the state capital, reeled
from the heaviest rains in over a century,
experts said the devastation was in large
part due to the same breakneck and haphazard urban planning that has marked

PREPARE
Continued from page 1
Law enforcement often works with
school districts, medical centers, county or
city buildings, malls, theaters, large corporate campuses and in areas where people
gather to ensure effective protocol are in
place.
The San Mateo County Office of
Education took the lead two years ago in
adopting emergency protocol aimed at
responding to a range of disasters from
earthquakes to lockdowns called the Big 5.
The Big 5 as well as the FBI and city of
Houstons Run, Hide, Fight instructional
video thats been watched by nearly 4 million viewers, highlight how individuals
can respond if ever confronted by a shooter.
I really want our community to be thinking about safety and preparedness and disasters in terms of including the potential
for an active shooter situation, said San
Mateo Police Chief Susan Manheimer. I
dont want our community to be alarmed or
fearful, because then terrorists win, whether
its domestic or international, but I do want
them to put another tool in their tool box.
There are tiered responses based on the
circumstances and when possible, victims
are advised to escape or run to safety. If
thats not an option, than quietly hiding in
a locked room with the lights off and cellphones silenced while waiting until law
enforcement arrives is recommended. In a
worst-case scenario, where neither hiding
nor safely running is an option when confronted by a gunman, people are advised to
improvise weapons and find means to
debilitate the attacker, according to the
video.
Manheimer said she recognizes the recommendation to fight back may be controversial and scary, but its an option people

many of Indias major cities.


Its a pattern thats been repeated for at
least a decade. In 2005, Indias commercial
capital Mumbai came to a standstill after
several days of monsoon rains. Last year,
Srinagar in Indian Kashmir, saw massive
devastation as flood waters swallowed a
city where unchecked construction had
blocked rainwater channels and eaten into
wetlands.
Indias main monsoon season runs from
June through September, but for Chennai and
the rest of Indias southeastern coast, the
heaviest rainfall is from October to

December also called the retreating monsoon.


This years deluge which experts linked
to the El Nino weather pattern, when the
waters of the Pacific Ocean get warmer than
usual caught Chennai, with a population
of 9.6 million, completely unprepared.
One woman told NDTV news channel that
she was finally able to get on a rescue boat
Friday, three days after the rains began to
lash the city.
The government has set up 97 relief
camps, which are currently providing food
and shelter to an estimated 62,000 people.

Dozens of homes across Chennai remained


submerged too despite the rain ebbing.
Chennais airport was closed for a third
day. Photographs from earlier in the week
showed large parts of the building and runway completely submerged. The Airports
Authority of India has said that the airport
would remain closed at least until Sunday.
Power supply has been erratic since the
city turned off electricity to prevent deaths
by electrocution. Mobile and fixed phone
networks have been sporadic. Thousands of
people have taken to Twitter and other social
media to reach out to friends and family.

should be aware of.


It is different than what we as security
professionals usually tell people,
Manheimer said referring to polices typical recommendation to avoid confrontation
with suspects who are known to be dangerous. But in looking at these [active shooter] situations, we want you to be prepared,
and being prepared is having a plan.
Manheimer said her department has
already received three requests for training
from local social service nonprofits this
week.
The countys protocol draws from the Big
5, which was formed after significant outreach and approved by all of the school districts as well as law enforcement agencies
in San Mateo County.

and dangerous situation.


Not interfering with emergency responders or law enforcement is key and knowing
exit strategies as well as places where
theyll be reunited with loved ones are
important factors to remaining calm,
Magee said.
Another critical component of the Big 5
and the countywide protocol is the fact that
everyone is on the same page, using the
same terminology and has the same expectations coordination is key during the
chaotic aftermath of a mass shooting,
Magee said.

TCAT was formed after the Sept. 11 attacks


and the Big 5 gained traction after the 2012
shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary
School.
Ultimately, Bolanos, Magee and
Manheimer agreed a regional approach is
needed and the tragic attacks in San
Bernardino and Paris highlight the value of
being prepared.
These recent incidents just bring to
light how important our efforts are,
Bolanos said. All of our law enforcement
partners are very good at ensuring we all
work together and train together and we all
try to serve our communities and provide
this training to any companies or businesses that would like it.
While everyone hopes San Mateo County
will never find itself in the grips of an
active shooter situation, officials note
being calm and prepared is useful for a variety of responses whether its evacuating
a medical center during a fire, locking down
a school if a crime is committed nearby, or
clearing a movie theater after an earthquake.
I dont want to alarm our community,
were certainly a very safe community, but I
want our public to be thinking about what
their game plan is for an active shooter,
just like theyd be thinking about their
earthquake box for preparedness, or evacuation plan for a natural disaster, Manheimer
said. As security professionals for our
communities, we should be introducing
these concepts at a time when were seeing
these situations unfold across the globe and
at home.

Think on your feet


While obviously not recommending a
young child fight back, the Big 5 has a
series of tiered responses to various threats
and provides teachers as well as law
enforcement a more universal plan from
which to draw, said Nancy Magee, associate
superintendent of the county Office of
Education.
The Big 5s version, called Think on
your feet, is more appropriate for schoolage children while maintaining some of the
run, hide, fight training for teachers and
staff. As the county continues to train
school personnel on the protocol adopted
in 2013, Magee said parents can also do
their part by learning the plan and talking
with their kids about the importance of following a teachers orders during an emergency.
The safest community is an engaged
community, so its incumbent on the parents to educate themselves, Magee said,
noting the same could be said for the general public to learn about their works protocol. Its important that everybody understands their role, theyre prepared and that
theyre able to respond with calm in a scary

Changing law enforcement tactics


Over the years, as mass shootings have
become more prevalent, law enforcement
has changed their tactics most notably
in response to the Columbine school
shooting. Previously, the first responding
officers would form a perimeter and await
trained SWAT teams, which could take hours
while further shootings occurred. Now, the
first officers or deputies to arrive are
already typically equipped with patrol rifles
and are trained to actively enter the scene in
search for the gunman, said Undersheriff
Carlos Bolanos.
This week, the sheriffs Countywide
Security Unit sent out a memo outlining the
Run, Hide, Fight protocol and will conduct a review of security at all county facilities to ensure employees are safe, Bolanos
said.
The county also works with the Northern
California Regional Intelligence Center,
the regional Joint Terrorism Task Force and
maintains its own Office of Emergency
Services, SWAT and the Terrorism Counter
Assault Team, or TCAT.

Regional approach needed


Many of the countys protocol or specialty teams were prompted by historic attacks.
Officers changed tactics in response to the

Theres a story my father tells my family


every year at the dinner table. It is a story
of freedom and escape, of a lifelong journey overcoming boundaries. And every
time I hear the story, it steals my heart
once again.
My parents came to America years ago,
two young immigrants lost in a world of
color and curiosity. The only thing they
carried was a pocket of loose change, a
suitcase of Chinese-English dictionaries
and the echoing goodbyes of their family.
They left everything
behind, their laughing
cousins and smiling parents and soft-spoken
grandparents, unsure
whether they would ever
see them again.
My mother describes
how she hobbled off the
plane, layers and layers
of clothing under her big coat, because her
luggage could only fit so much. My father
tells me how he was stopped at security
because he accidentally brought his
favorite cooking knife in his carry-on bag,
and how he sadly had to hand it back to his
parents.
My father tells me how my parents handwrote letters to their families every week,
and how they shared dinner on a makeshift
table that was a cardboard box. They told
me how they didnt understand a single
word their neighbors were saying, and how
they faced the cold harshness of those who
disapproved of them. They told me of the
day my mother bought a bike, and how it
felt like Christmas. It was a small life they
lived, filled with brutal nights and long
days spent at low-paying jobs. But the fulfillment they found from giving up everything was a paradox that drove them forward every day.
Despite the search for a greater life on
which immigrants embark, the process for
a legal immigrant to enter the United States
has become increasingly difficult.
According to USA Today, few visa categories, high expenses and processing
times that can stretch decades put several
obstacles along the legal road to immigration. It takes an application that is around

Spike Lees blistering Chi-Raq burns with rage


By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

More alive than most of the years films


put together, Spike Lees Chi-Raq is
urgent agitprop that pulsates with unalloyed rage for the self-inflicted genocide
of South Chicago and explodes with fullhearted (and gloriously lewd) pleas for
peace.
Its wildly uneven but it is wild. Theres
plenty here to quibble with (the films title
prompted outrage in Chicago), but unassailable is its passion to bring attention and
compassion to Chicagos blood-soaked
streets.
This is an emergency flashes across the
screen early in Chi-Raq, a hip-hop musical and a social satire that Lee co-wrote with

For a family of immigrants, this nation

garage and I found my fathers old leather
backpack. He tells me how he fell in love
with this backpack when he was a student

for months so he could bring it with him to
America. He says how he placed his most
prized possessions inside, passport and
photos and memories of his closest
friends, and how he clutched its straps
nervously as he stepped across the security
tape into another world.
To this day, I still bring his backpack
with me everywhere I travel. It reminds me
of the honesty and humility of my parents
who gave up everything for me, the spirit
and endless dreams of immigrants everywhere who must turn their head away from
their past life. When I feel the leather

in good and not-so-good films has
remained uniquely unpredictable and remarkably prolific. His last great film, 2006s
When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four
Acts, fed off the fury of New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina.
Chi-Raq, which takes its title from the
controversial nickname for the violenceplagued city, is Lees most vital film at least
since then. Its a farce, wrapped heavily in
stylistic overtures, with maybe a half-dozen
introductions to Chicago and to Chi-Raq,
including Nick Cannons Pray 4 My City,
played with lyrics blazed across the screen,
and Samuel Jacksons pimplike narrator,
Dolmedes, who raps, We cant take this

The story takes a long time to arrive, and

His gang is the Spartans, while the Trojans


are led by Wesley Snipes Cyclops. Inspired
by the Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee,
Lysistrata organizes a total abstinence from
knocking the boots among the women of
the Spartans and Trojans to stop the gang warfare. Many scenes arent about strictly
advancing the story line but rather deepening
the pain, outrage and absurdity. Particularly
good is Dave Chappelles cameo, in which
he, at a strip club, frets about the penis
power grid being shut down.
Some scenes dont work, particularly a cartoonish one with a racist Dixieland general
(David Patrick Kelly), who ends up straddling
a Civil War cannon in Confederate flag underpants. John Cusack as the Rev. Mike
Corridan, who preaches at a funeral, is jarringly bad casting.
Theres also a lingering feeling that in
bringing the gender roles of ancient Greece to
present-day South Chicago, Lee has reduced
modern women to sex objects (albeit empowered ones) and men to libido-driven dogs.
But the outrageousness the madness
is the point. In Chicago, Lee sees a seemingly helpless, tragic situation and hes marshalled all of himself every ridiculous
rhyme, every bit of bombast for a truly
impassioned film. By the time Chi-Raq
reaches its powerful climax, he has made a
sensational, stirring case for love, not war.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM


By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

TOY STORY AT TWENTY, AT SAN


FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM. On
Nov. 22, 1995, Toy Story opened in theaters as the weekends top-grossing film,
quickly becoming the highest grossing
film of the year, and ultimately receiving
nominations for three Academy Awards,
including Best Original Screenplay, and
making Pixar an internationally known
name. But how did this come about? The
answer is presented at the San Francisco
Airport Museum in Toy Story at Twenty,
an exhibit that uses art, artifacts and photographs to tell the films backstory.
In 1991, when a small computer company
called Pixar signed a deal with the Walt
Disney Studios to produce a film with the
tentative title Toy Story, the idea of making feature films in computer animation
would have seemed far-fetched to most people. CG (short for C for Graphics) was still
better known for flying logos and special
effects than full-length storytelling.
Though the Pixar had won many awards for
its previous work, including an Academy
Award for Best Animated Short Film, making a feature film was an entirely different
proposition, and a much riskier endeavor.
Animation, however, has long been a
medium friendly to change and experimentation. Walt Disney was particularly known
for innovation, embracing sound, color and
the multiplane camera in his short films
before taking the biggest gamble of all by
making Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs, the worlds first full-length celanimated film. It was fitting that Pixar got
its big break when Disney Corporation
agreed to a co-production deal for a feature
film.
The creative challenge loomed above all
else: telling a vivid, entertaining and moving story that would fully engage its audience. But even the more concrete aspects of
production called for inventive and atten-

tive problem solving. Not only did Pixar


have to expand both its staff and its production pipeline to accommodate a project 20
times longer than anything it had attempted
before, it was, from a technical point of
view, navigating uncharted waters. No one
else in the world had ever attempted a project of this complexity and scale. Every shot
in the movie passed through multiple
teams, each responsible for a different
aspect of the image, like layout, shading,
lighting, effects, and animation. Only after
all the creative decisions in each department
had been made could the final image of each
of the films 110,000 frames be rendered by
a computer and examined for perfection a
process that could take anywhere from three
to 24 hours per frame. From start to finish,
Toy Story took over four years to create.
Though the team at Pixar had known they
were creating something special, the overwhelmingly positive commercial and critical reaction was something even the most
optimistic team members could not have
predicted. Toy Story not only paved the
way for Pixars future cinematic efforts, it
inspired other filmmakers and animators to
see the vast potential of a brand new medium the computer-animated film.
Toy Story at Twenty may be seen at San
Francisco Airports International Terminal,

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. Scott Weiland,


the magnetic frontman of the Stone Temple
Pilots whose three-decade career in music
also included solo albums and a spot in the
supergroup Velvet Revolver, has died. He was
48.
The singers manager, Tom Vitorino, confirmed the death to the Associated Press early
Friday. Vitorino referred to a statement on
Weilands Facebook page that said the singer
passed away in his sleep while on a tour stop
in suburban Minneapolis. The cause of death
wasnt immediately released.

mates Eric Kretz and


brothers Dean and Robert
DeLeo released a statement Friday thanking the
singer, who was dogged
by substance abuse problems throughout his
career, for sharing your
life with us.
Together we crafted a
Scott Weiland legacy of music that has
given so many people
happiness and great memories. The memories are many, and they run deep for us, the
statement read. We know amidst the good
and the bad you struggled, time and time
again. Its what made you who you were.
You were gifted beyond words, Scott. Part

of that gift was part of your curse. With deep


sorrow for you and your family, we are saddened to see you go. All of our love and
respect. We will miss you brother.
Weiland rose to fame as the frontman of
Stone Temple Pilots, which became one of
the most commercially successful bands to
come out of the early 1990s grunge rock
movement. The bands 1992 debut album,
Core, was an insta-hit and sold 8 million
units. The hit single Plush won the
Grammy for best hard rock performance.
The bands follow-up was a white-hot success, too: 1994s Purple hit the No. 1 spot
on the Billboard pop charts, sold 6 million
copies and launched the hits Interstate Love
Song and Vasoline.
Stone Temple Pilots released more success-

ful albums before they broke up in 2003, and


Weiland went on to front Velvet Revolver,
the group that featured former members of
Guns N Roses, including guitarist Slash,
bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt
Sorum, as well as Dave Kushner of Wasted
Youth. Among that groups hits was Fall to
Pieces and Slither, which won the
Grammy for best hard rock performance.
The Stone Temple Pilots reunited in 2008.
The storys not finished, Weiland told
the AP at the time. Theres more to be
revealed and more to be told.
But the group split again in 2013. Linkin
Parks Chester Bennington took over as lead
singer for Stone Temple Pilots but
announced he was leaving the group last
month.

MACBETH
Continued from page 19
of Orson Welles and Roman Polanski,
Kurzels entry is an interesting one.
This version begins with an unsettling
sight: Macbeth (Michael Fassbender) and
his wife, Lady Macbeth (Marion Cotillard)
witnessing the burial of their dead child
atop a gusty, gray hill in the desolate
Scottish Highlands. The mourning transitions into a stunningly violent and mystical battle sequence, clouded by fog and mist
and slowed in parts with an almost video
game-like vulgarity, where Macbeth hears
the witches prophecy that he will be King.
It is in this war-weary and grief-stricken
state that Lady Macbeth convinces her husband to murder King Duncan (David

Thewlis). Ambition and greed fill their


voids, and Macbeth becomes the executor of
their future.
Malcolm (Jack Reynor), King Duncans
heir, witnesses the murder and flees, adding
an immediate tension to everything that
happens after. More violence follows.
Once Macbeth assumes the throne, he
begins his slow descent into madness.
Fassbender, who has mastered the tricky
rhythms of Quentin Tarantino in
Inglorious Basterds and Aaron Sorkin in
Steve Jobs, delivers Shakespeare as confidently and effectively (if too quietly)
coming alive as he loses his mind. No one
plays agony quite like Fassbender. The banquet scene where Macbeth sees the ghost of
Banquo (Paddy Considine) is a particular
highlight, though less terrifying than
Polanskis rendering.
Macbeths ever heightening paranoia
provides a much needed engine for the film,

which, despite the visual interest, comparatively brisk pacing and mesmeric battles, is
weakened by those largely whispered and
mumbled lines.
Kurzels Macbeth is also stripped of
unnecessary adornments in the script,
story, and set design. You feel like a settler
on an uninhabited, unforgiving land. Hes
even compared it to a Western. The set
design is spare, purposeful and authentic.
The settings are cold and small in contrast
to the spectacularly harsh landscapes.
The austereness allows for bold choices,
like the shock of blue eyeshadow that is
streaked across Lady Macbeths eyes. It also
makes her dreamily bright sleepwalking
scene that much more haunting.
Instead of affecting a Scottish lilt,
Cotillard retains her native French accent,
which proves effective in making the inimitable Lady Macbeth seem even more mysterious. Shes even given another dramatic

scene in which she witnesses the execution
of Lady Macduff (Elizabeth Debicki, on
screen far too briefly) and her children.
Indeed, death looms over everything here,
and weighs increasingly heavily on this
childless couple. This Macbeth brings
war, post-traumatic stress disorder and grief
to the fore in a more visceral way than others have been able to show, and in this way
Kurzel has put his stamp on the canon of
Macbeth film adaptations.
Bringing Shakespeare to the big screen
can be a thankless task. Kurzel has a fearless eye and cinematic flair and his
Macbeth is a bold, beguiling experiment
that is perfectly fit for the now.

TERROR
Continued from page 1
praised Islamic State in a post at 11 a.m.
Wednesday, around the time the couple
stormed a San Bernardino social service
center and opened fire.
Malik and her husband, Syed Farook, died
in a fierce gunbattle with authorities several
hours after their commando-style assault on
a gathering of Farooks colleagues from San
Bernardino Countys health department.
An Islamic State-affiliated news service
called Malik and Farook supporters of
their Islamist cause but stopped short of
claiming responsibility for the attack.
FBI Director James Comey would not discuss whether anyone affiliated with IS communicated back to Malik, but he said there
was no indication yet that the plot was
directed by any other foreign terror group.
He also declined to rule out that future possibility.
The investigation so far has developed
indications of radicalization by the killers
and of potential inspiration by foreign terrorist organizations, Comey said. He cautioned that the investigation has not yet
shown evidence the couple was part of a
larger group.
Despite mounting signs of the couples
radicalization, there is a lot of evidence
that doesnt quite make sense, Comey said
in a nod to the fact that the investigation
was just two days old.
Attorneys representing Farooks family
urged the public and media to wait for specific evidence before jumping to conclusions. They said none of his relatives had
any indication either Farook or his wife
held extremist views.

made it happen, Bain said.
She did something that has brought the
entire community together, he said.
Pierce was first elected to the City
Council in 1999 and Bain has known her
the entire time.
Shes a fantastic councilmember, a great
leader and has the emotional intelligence
and ability to see things from all sides
while being inclusive, Bain said.
She was an approachable mayor who valued every councilmembers input and welcomed discussion and debate, he said.
It was Pierce and Councilwoman Diane
Howard who sat on a subcommittee to negotiate with San Mateo County officials how
best to use the old courthouse after it no

David Bowdich, head of the FBIs Los


Angeles office, said a number of pieces of
evidence point to terrorism and that the
agency was focused on that idea for good
reason. He would not elaborate.
The U. S. official who revealed the
Facebook post was not authorized to discuss
the case publicly and spoke on condition of
anonymity. The Facebook official, who
also spoke on condition of anonymity
because the person was not allowed under
corporate policy to be quoted by name, said
the company discovered Wednesdays post
on Thursday, removed the profile from public view and reported its contents to law
enforcement.
Bowdich said he was not aware of the ISaffiliated Aamaq news service report but was
not surprised IS would attempt to link itself
to the attack. He said investigators were
looking carefully to determine if there is an
IS connection.
Farook and Malik rented a townhome
where investigators said they found an arsenal of ammunition and homemade bombs.
On Friday morning, the propertys owner
allowed reporters inside in an unusual scene
broadcast live on cable TV.
Bowdich said the FBI was done with the
scene. Analysts were trying to retrieve data
from two cellphones found nearby that had
been crushed in an apparent attempt to
destroy the information inside.
We hope that will take us to their motivation, he said.
Until Friday, federal and local law enforcement officials said terrorism was a possibility but that the violence could have
stemmed from a workplace grudge.
Attorneys for Farooks family urged the
public not to rush to judgment.
If the most evidence there is to any affiliation is a Facebook account under another
persons name ... then thats hardly any-

thing at all, attorney David Chesley said.


Chesley and another attorney described
Malik as a housewife who closely followed
religious traditions. They said Farooks
mother, who lived with the couple, never
saw any of the weapons or bombs authorities found. The FBI questioned her
Wednesday night and, according to the
attorneys, said they would not release her
until Farooks siblings came for questioning.
The couples orphaned 6-month-old
daughter is in the care of child protective
services and the family will try to recover
her next week.
Farook had no criminal record, and neither he nor his wife was under scrutiny by
local or federal law enforcement before the
attack, authorities said.
Malik, 27, was a Pakistani who grew up in
Saudi Arabia and came to the U.S. in 2014
on a fiancee visa. Farook, a 28-year-old
restaurant health inspector for the county,
was born in Chicago to Pakistani parents
and raised in Southern California.
Law enforcement officials have long
warned that Americans acting in sympathy
with Islamic extremists though not on
direct orders could launch an attack inside
the U. S. Using slick propaganda, the
Islamic State in particular has urged sympathizers worldwide to commit violence in
their countries.
Others have done so. In May, just before
he attacked a gathering in Texas of people
drawing cartoons of the Prophet
Muhammad, a Phoenix man tweeted his
hope that Allah would view him as a holy
warrior.
Two weeks ago, with Americans on edge
over the Islamic State attacks in Paris
that left 130 people dead, Comey said
that U. S. authorities had no specific or
credi b l e i n t el l i g en ce p o i n t i n g t o an

attack on American soil.


Since March 2014, 71 people have been
charged in the U.S. in connection with supporting IS, including 56 this year, according to a recent report from the George
Washington University Program on
Extremism. Though most are men, women
are taking an increasingly prominent role
in the jihadist world, the report said.
It was not immediately clear whether
Malik exhibited any support for radical
Islamists before she arrived in the U.S.
or, like scores of others arrested by the FBI,
became radicalized through online or inperson associations after arriving.
Friends of the soft-spoken Farook who
knew him from his daily prayers at a mosque
in San Bernardino said they saw nothing to
make them think he was violent. They said
Farook reported meeting his future wife
online.
To receive her visa, Malik was subjected
to a vetting process the U.S. government
describes as vigorous. It includes in-person
interviews, fingerprints, checks against
terrorist watch lists and reviews of her family members, travel history and places
where she lived and worked.
Foreigners applying from countries that
are home to Islamic extremists such as
Pakistan undergo additional scrutiny
before the State Department and Homeland
Security approve their applications.
Pakistani officials said Malik moved with
her family to Saudi Arabia as a young child.
A person close to the Saudi government said
Malik eventually returned to Pakistan. The
person was not authorized to speak publicly, and did so on condition of anonymity.
Inside the couples townhome, reporters
found a copy of the Quran on a living room
table along with several documents, including one that authorities left behind listing
what they had seized.

It is now home to the San Mateo County
History Museum and the plaza hosts concerts and events virtually every week.
In 2005, the Fiscal Building in front of
the courthouse was torn down in favor of the
open plaza.
Mayor Jeff Gee said Pierce will still be a
driving force in the city even off the council.
She will still be involved and continue
to volunteer. Shes done a tremendous
amount for the community, Gee said.
He also calls Pierce the driving force that
transformed the old courthouse.
Her dedication and vision help transform
the old building that has now become our
outdoor living room, Gee said.
Pierce did her homework while on council, he said, and values the citys diversity.
She really cares, Gee said.

Your imprint will live on for many years
to come, Foust wrote about Pierce in an
email to the Daily Journal.
Pierce has resided in the city for nearly 40
years and raised two daughters with husband
Jerry.
During her tenure on council, she served
on many regional boards including the
City/County Association of Governments,
the Association of Bay Area Governments
and the Bay Area Water Supply and
Conservation Agency.
She has also been involved with the
Redwood City Education Foundation for 30
years, credited with restoring music and outdoor education for the citys elementary
school children.
As far as Courthouse Square is concerned,
there was once an idea by county officials to
put a methadone clinic there, Pierce said.
It wasnt Pierces idea to convert the front
of the courthouse area into a plaza, she said,

but was glad to help make the idea a reality.


Things fell into place. Through relationships and connections, the community really became engaged in seeing this place
become the heart of downtown, Pierce said.
But just having the space is not enough,
she said, it had to be activated. The events
and concerts that take place there now really just blossomed, she said.
Redwood City would be very different
without Courthouse Square, Pierce said.
Pierce will miss most the intimate time
she spent with staff and her colleagues and
the planning and visioning of the city and
helping residents understand how to plan
for change.
Your community will change even if you
try to resist. You have to plan for what to
treasure, she said.

HOUSING
Continued from page 1
with Dwell Realtors.
He said homes on the market this time of
year are typically receiving fewer bids, and
sellers are facing longer wait times to close
on deals, which may make them more anxious to sell.
Michael Verdone, president of SAMCAR,
agreed home buying during winter months
can be a good time to get a deal, rather than
when the market heats up with the weather.
Its a great time to be a buyer, he said.
Since families with children are generally
looking to buy homes in the summer when
school is out and it may be easier to relocate, Verdone said beating the competition
to market during the winter months can be
an effective strategy on finding a deal.
He said sellers are less inclined to expect
receiving multiple offers on a home during
the slow sales season, and may be more
willing to settle on a lower bid so as to not
let the deal-making process bog down the
holidays.
Beyond the typical winter sales swoon,
Gillooley speculated there may be more hesitation than before from buyers, as shifts in
the global economy and an expected bump
in interest rates may be tamping down
enthusiasm for home purchases.
Gillooley said he is seeing a hesitation
among buyers which did not exist previously, perhaps attributable to a potential deceleration in an economy that has been on a
tear for years.
Part of it is that the overall economy is
starting to slow itself down, he said.
Verdone agreed, and said he too expected
to see a gradual smoothing of the market
over the coming months.
But despite the slight dip, housing sales
prices climbed over the past calendar year,
and there are still fewer available options
for interested buyers.
The average purchase price for a home has
climbed by about $225, 000 across the
county since last October, and the median
home sale price jumped over that same period of time from $1.07 million to $1.18 million.
The median is the middle point of the market, whereas the average is the result of
adding the prices and dividing the number of
the homes.
Average home sale prices in the city of
San Mateo rose to $1. 34 million in
October, up from $1.22 in January, but down
from $1.44 million at the peak of the market in June. There are 46 homes on the market in San Mateo in October, roughly on par
with the amount there has been since
January.
At the top end of the county real estate
market is, as always, Atherton, where the
average home sale price is $5.58 million
and the median price is $4.73 million.
Forbes magazine recently identified the
94027 zip code in Atherton, which is home
to magnates such as Hewlett-Packard CEO

Meg Whitman, Golden State Warriors owner
Joe Lacob, venture capitalist Tim Draper,
baseball great Willie Mays and more, as the
richest region in the nation.
East Palo Alto, which traditionally is
home to some of the cheapest real estate
along the Peninsula, saw growth in sales
prices to the tune of about $158,000 since
January, as homes sold for an average of
$662,942 in October. Median sales price
rose to $659,00 from $451,5000 in that
same period of time.
Since October of last year, average home
sales in Foster City jumped from $1.44 million to $1. 8 million 12 months later.
Median sales price jumped as well during the
same period of time, from $1.43 million
one year ago to $1.68 million.
Home sales prices in Burlingame have
dropped since the peak sales season in June,
when average sales price rose as high as
$2.3 million, but have dipped to $1.92 million in October. There were 18 million
homes on the market in October, which is
eight more than were available this summer.
Home sale prices in Redwood City have
dipped by about $100,000 in both median
and average sales price since the summer,
when both figures floated around $1.3 million.
Median sales prices in San Carlos hit
$1.65 million in October, up from $1.34
million in January, and the inventory has
shrunk from 23 homes in the market to 12
in October.
Gillooley said many of the homes on the
market now are not in attractive neighborhoods which typically sell quickly, and are
instead those that tend to languish and
receive little interest for extended periods of
time.
In the rare instance when an attractive
property does become available during the
winter months, Gillooley said he typically
sees those homes quickly receive multiple
bids and the price jumps as it would during a
more competitive market.
He said he expects as the calendar flips
toward next year, the sales season will
begin sooner and burn hotter than usual for
a short period of time, and then peter out as
the skepticism of the market begins to take
hold.
I think finally prices are going to start to
level off, he said.
Should the market prove Gillooley
wrong, he said, even families who earn what
has been considered adequate income to purchase a home will be priced out of the market.
I dont think housing prices can continue to grow at the rate they have, he said.
Verdone said the one of the surefire ways
to make the housing market more affordable
is to address the shortage of available
homes, when compared to the demand.
He said officials should approve building
more housing, which would reduce competition, and make the market more reasonable
for everyone.
If we put in housing, there would not be a
problem, he said. Its the lack of housing,
thats why we have seen these multiple
offers.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Diane V. Johnson
Case Number: 126256
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Diane V. Johnson. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Kirstin
N. Durham in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Kirstin N.
Durham be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: JAN 19, 2016 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING City of San Mateo Public
Works Department Clean Water Program Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Report San Mateo, Calif. The Clean
Water Program is a series of projects to upgrade and increase
the capacity of the Citys wastewater treatment plant and sewer collection system to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows,

future regulatory requirements. The Wastewater Treatment
Plant also treats wastewater for Crystal Springs County Sanitation District, a portion of unincorporated San Mateo County, the
southern portion of the Town of Hillsborough, and the City of
Foster City which is a co-owner of the Wastewater Treatment
Plant. The Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Report
(Draft PEIR) for the Clean Water Program was released on October 20, 2015. The Draft PEIR identifies any impacts the potential Clean Water Program projects may have on the surrounding environment during construction and after completion. The types of impacts covered in the report include aesthetics, air quality and greenhouse gases, biological resources,
cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous
materials, hydrology and water quality, land use, population
and housing, public services, recreation, transportation, traffic,
and utilities. On November 12, 2015, the Public Works Commission held a public hearing to discuss the Draft PEIR, and
will reconvene for a second time for an additional opportunity
for public comment and review on Wednesday, December 9,
2015, at 7:30pm. The meeting will take place at the City of San
