Facebook gives $20M for affordable housing


East Palo Alto, Menlo Park, nonprofit advocacy groups partner with tech giant
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

One of the worlds most prominent tech


giants is partnering with Menlo Park and
East Palo Alto community groups to address
one of Silicon Valleys most pressing challenges affordable housing.
Facebook is pitching in $20 million and
agreeing to work collaboratively with neigh-

boring cities and advocacy nonprofits to


help curb gentrification prompted in part by
an astronomical growth of high-paying jobs.
As the multi-billion-dollar social media
firm embarks on a major expansion at its
Menlo Park headquarters slated to host nearly 6, 500 new employees, some of the
regions lowest income residents in adjacent neighborhoods are undoubtedly feeling
the heat. To help alleviate the pressure, an

unprecedented corporate-public-nonprofit
partnership called Envision Transform
Build-East Palo Alto was formed to preserve
as well as build affordable housing, and
tackle tough policy issues.
Cities and communities throughout the
region continue to struggle in finding ways
to engage employers and the hope is
Facebooks efforts will inspire others, said
Tameeka Bennett, executive director of

Youth United for Community Action.


Silicon Valley is huge and anybody who
has ideas of being the next huge tech
tycoon or CEO, they move here. This is the
place to do that. But what people forget
about Silicon Valley, is there are smaller
engines that make this place run, Bennett
said.

Parking permit program made permanent


By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After hearing from residents tired of cars


and other vehicles from visitors in the
Greater East San Carlos neighborhood, city
officials tried a parking permit program for a
year and decided to make it permanent this
week.
Officials are now contemplating exploring other areas where the pilot program may
be tested, though residents caution it may
not be necessary.
Since January 2016, the city has enforced
a two-hour parking limit between 7 a.m. and
7 p.m. Monday through Friday in the area
south of Holly Street in the neighborhood.
Vehicles displaying an East San Carlos residential parking permit have been exempt
from these weekday two-hour parking
restrictions. The one-year pilot program was
deemed necessary in part because commuters
and Giants fans were using the neighborhood to park to take the train from the nearby station.
The program was made permanent
Monday, Nov. 28, with an unanimous council vote. At Mondays meeting, the City
Council reviewed a report prepared by city

Madelyn (Dolly) Marie Bianconi


Madelyn (Dolly) Marie Bianconi, 89, of
Millbrae, died Nov. 27, 2016. She was born
Aug. 24, 1927, in Chicago, Illinois, to Sam
and Florence Nicosia.
Dolly grew up in Coloma, Michigan, with
her two brothers Sam and Vincent where she
was active in the marching band and drama
at Coloma High, graduating in 1945. She
moved to San Francisco and married
Raymond Bianconi in 1953, settling in
Millbrae in 1957. They were married for 59
years.
Dolly was very active in the Full Gospel
Church, serving as a bible study pastor, dea-

officials deeming the pilot program to be an


overall success. The report included results
from a survey of residents and businesses in
the Greater East San Carlos neighborhood.
Of the 155 residents who responded, 64 percent strongly agreed that the program
improved the ease of parking near their
homes and 89 percent would recommend that
the program be made permanent. Between
Jan. 1 and Nov. 7, approximately 460 citations were issued in the program area.
Councilman Mark Olbert sees the pilots
success as an opportunity to review other
similarly affected areas. He noted anecdotal
comments about the north side of Holly
Street and south side of Laurel Street at the
edge of downtown as areas that have experienced limited parking availability due to
increased traffic. The council may add these
areas to those eligible for a pilot in the
future, should the council detect sufficient
interest from residents and businesses.
An area has to be identified as potentially benefiting from such a program. Once its
in that classification, if enough people in
the neighborhood ask for it, we can look
into it, he said.
But the council will proceed with caution.
San Carlos Mayor Cameron Johnson noted

some of the disadvantages of piloting the


program, such as hassles for residents who
need to obtain permits for visitors.
If there are solutions where a permit is
not necessary, wed look into other alternatives, he said.
Scott Marsters, a former planning commissioner who lives in Greater East San
Carlos, was not convinced that a consensus
has been reached as to whether residents
north of Holly Street are interested in this
pilot.
There are individuals north of Holly who
might be interested in it, he said. But is it
a unanimous thing?
Resident Ben Fuller is not interested in the
pilots expansion to the northern end.
The north side has not asked for it, he
said. Please dont give us what were currently not asking for.
Regardless of where the pilot may be used
again, Public Works Director Jay Walter said
he feels as though the city made the good
assumptions about the hours of operation
and days of the week when they designed the
pilot.
We at least have a process in place where
we can evaluate it and have a consistent
approach, he said.

California state-worker union cancels Monday strike


By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias largest


public-employee union on Friday canceled a
planned one-day strike, averting a potentially disruptive protest that would have
kept up to 95,000 state employees off the
job.
The Service Employees International
Union Local 1000 said negotiators from the
union and the state both feel we have found
a pathway forward.
Our goal has never been to go on strike.
It has always been to get a contract we can

all be proud of, Local 1000 President


Yvonne Walker said in a note posted on the
unions website. We will provide constant
updates throughout the day and into the
night, if necessary. Stay tuned.
Walker did not offer details about the
breakthrough that led to the cancellation.
We are pleased that the public will not
have to face disruptions to state services on
Monday, said Joe DeAnda, a spokesman for
the California Department of Human
Resources. We will continue to work with
union leaders to finalize a formal agreement.
The decision came shortly after a judge

earlier Friday declined to intervene in the


labor dispute, postponing until Dec. 13 a
decision on whether to block some union
members from taking part in strike action as
the state had requested.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge
Raymond Cadei did not issue an injunction
Friday in response to requests by the Public
Employment Relations Board and Gov.
Jerry Browns administration, which last
month asked the board to seek an order
blocking a strike by all 95,000 state workers who are members of the Service
Employees International Union.
Instead, he continued a hearing on the

matter. The board had sought to block about


6,000 members of the local who are deemed
essential to public health or safety.
Those include nurses, cooks and janitors
who work at state mental hospitals, prisons, veterans homes, care centers for the
disabled and schools for the deaf and
blind.
The state sought to block a strike by all
workers or, failing that, to add more
employees to the list of essential personnel.
Attorneys for both sides declined to speak
to reporters as they left the court proceeding, which was held behind closed doors.

State treasurer asks Trump


for guidance on pot, banking

A tip sheet for workers and


workplaces where pot is legal
By Bob Salsberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON Changing marijuana


laws arent necessarily making weed
more welcome in the workplace.
For now, many employers seem to be
sticking with their drug testing and
personal conduct policies, even in
states where recreational marijuana use
is now permitted. Others are keeping a
close eye on the still evolving legal,
regulatory and political environment.
Voters in California, Massachusetts,
Maine and Nevada voted Nov. 8 to
approve the use of recreational marijuana, joining Colorado, Washington,
Oregon and Alaska, where it had previously been legalized. (A recount of
Maines close result is scheduled.)
More than two dozen states have medical marijuana programs.
But the drug is still against federal
law.
A closer look at what it all means for
workers and businesses:

CAN MY EMPLOYER
STILL TEST ME FOR POT?
Bottom line: You cant come to work
high. You can still be drug tested. And
you can still be fired or not hired
for failing a drug test even if youre not
the least bit impaired at work.

All the states with legalized recreational pot have exemptions for workplace drug policies.
In Massachusetts, for example, the
law includes language stating that the
authority of employers to enact and
enforce workplace policies restricting
the consumption of marijuana by
employees is not changed.
Yes, you may be able to have (marijuana) at home, but that doesnt mean
its OK in the workplace, said Edward
Yost, an HR specialist with the Society
for Human Resources Management.

WHAT ABOUT
WORKPLACE SAFETY?
Advocates for marijuana legalization
said it was never their intention to
compromise safety, a central reason
offered by employers for drug testing.
We dont want anyone to come to
work impaired on any drugs, said
David Boyer, campaign manager for
the ballot initiative in Maine.
A 2013 survey by the employee
screening firm HireRight found 78 percent of employers conducted drug tests
either randomly, as a condition of
employment, after accidents or for
some combination of those reasons.
The federal government requires
drug t es t i n g fo r s o me wo rk ers ,
including truck drivers and others in

transportation.
Quest Diagnostics, which performed
nearly 11 million laboratory-based
drug tests for employers in 2015, said
the percentage of tests coming back
positive has shown a modest increase
in recent years. Nearly half of all positive tests showed evidence of marijuana
use.

CAN I GET FIRED


EVEN IF IM NOT HIGH?
THC, the psychoactive chemical in
cannabis, can stay in a persons system for days or even weeks, experts say
long after the buzz has subsided.
Its the equivalent of firing somebody who drank a glass of wine on
Friday evening and then came to work
on Monday, said Tamar Todd, legal
director for the Drug Policy Alliance,
who believes employers should reconsider zero-tolerance policies in light of
changing laws and attitudes.
A number of efforts are underway to
develop an accurate method, akin to the
Breathalyzer for alcohol, to measure
actual marijuana impairment. Such a
test might be useful not only for
employers, but also for police and
prosecutors trying to determine what
constitutes driving under the influence
of marijuana in states where recreational pot is legal.

LOS ANGELES California Treasurer John Chiang on


Friday appealed to President-elect Donald Trump for guidance on how the states projected $7 billion marijuana industry can participate
in the nations banking system while
pot remains illegal under U.S. law.
California voters last month approved
Proposition 64, which legalized the
recreational use of marijuana, beginning
in 2018. Largely at issue is how the state
will collect an estimated $1 billion in
John Chiang annual taxes from legal pot sales and cultivation, when cannabis businesses can
face obstacles opening bank accounts, getting loans or
obtaining insurance.
The conflict between federal and state rules creates a
number of difficulties for states that have legalized
cannabis use, including collecting taxes, increased risk of
serious crime and the inability of a legal industry under
state law to engage in banking and commerce, Chiang
wrote to Trump.
We have a year to develop a system that works in
California and which addresses the many issues that exist as
a result of the federal-state legal conflict, he added.
Uncertainty about the position of your administration creates even more of a challenge.
The California vote on Nov. 8 represented the national
legalization movements biggest victory to date. The new
law will attempt, at least in theory, to tame a market that
now ranges from legal, medicinal production and sales to
vast illegal grows operated by drug cartels.
With pot illegal on the federal level, its unclear what
stance the incoming Trump administration will take with
the new California pot economy and other weed-friendly
states. Trumps pick for attorney general, Alabama Sen. Jeff
Sessions, has called marijuana a danger that should not be
legalized.
Twenty-eight states and Washington, D.C., allow marijuana for medical or recreational purposes.
In other states, the business of legal marijuana has created a patchwork of banking and tax practices.
In Oregon, officials have built a fortified office, with bulletproof glass, security cameras and armed guards, for collecting huge cash payments for pot taxes. In Washington,
most businesses are paying taxes electronically, a sign of
better access to bank accounts.
And the number of U.S. banks and credit unions willing to
handle pot money under Treasury Department guidelines
issued two years ago is growing, though they are often
smaller institutions.

Commercial crab season opens


along Sonoma and Marin coast
The commercial Dungeness crab season

Local briefs
will open Saturday between Point Reyes in
Marin County and Salt Point in Sonoma
County, the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife announced Thursday.
The 50-mile area had been closed because
of elevated levels of domoic acid, a naturally occurring toxin, and the fishery north of
Salt Point to the Humboldt Bay entrance
will remain closed until further testing of
acid levels show it is safe.
Low levels of domoic acid can cause nausea, diarrhea and dizziness in humans and at
higher levels can cause persistent shortterm memory loss, seizures and in some
cases can be lethal.
Last fall and winter, domoic acid along
the coast from Santa Barbara and the
Oregon state line closed the Dungeness and
rock crab fisheries.
State and federal law prohibit the commercial distribution of seafood products
that contain domoic acid levels above the
federal level of 30 parts per million in the
viscera, or guts. That caused a delay or closure on Nov. 8 of the Dungeness crab season north of Point Reyes and the rock crab
fishery north of Pigeon Point 50 miles
south of San Francisco.
The crab fishery between the north jetty
of Humboldt Bay and the Oregon state line
opened on Thursday, and the recreational
Dungeness crab season opened Nov. 5 with
a warning to avoid consuming the internal
organs of Dungeness crab caught between
Salt Point and the north jetty at Humboldt
Bay.

Trump, backers ask courts to halt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LANSING, Mich.
President-elect
Donald Trump and his supporters went to
court Friday to prevent or halt election
recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin, less than two weeks before the
states would have to complete the tasks to
meet a federal deadline to certify their election results.
The legal actions seeking to block or halt
the recounts in three states Trump narrowly
won could cause delays that would make
them extremely difficult or impossible to
complete on time. Even if the recounts happen, though, none would be expected to
give Democrat Hillary Clinton enough

Trump to nominate
retired Gen. Mattis
to lead the Pentagon
By Lolita C. Baldor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Breaking once more


from presidential custom, Donald Trump is
turning to a military man to steer the U.S.
military, choosing retired Gen. James
Mattis, who will be the first career officer to
lead the Pentagon since just after World War
II.
Mattis, 66, is a Marine Corps general who
retired in 2013 after serving as commander
of the U.S. Central Command, responsible
for directing Americas wars in both Iraq and
Afghanistan.
The president-elect, who has referred to
Mattis by his nickname Mad Dog, made
the announcement of his choice for defense
secretary at a postelection victory rally
Thursday night in Cincinnati.
The selection raises questions about
increased military influence in a job
designed to ensure civilian control of the
armed forces. Those traditional concerns
revolve around whether a recently retired
service member would rely more on military
solutions to international problems rather
than take a broader, more diplomatic
approach.
For Mattis to be confirmed, Congress
would first have to approve legislation
bypassing a law that bars retired military
officers from becoming defense secretary

within seven years of leaving active duty.


Mattis has a reputation as a battle-hardened, tough-talking Marine who was
entrusted with some of the most challenging commands in the U.S. military. In a
tweet last month, Trump described him as A
true Generals General!
Mattis also has talked tough on Middle
East policy, and was blunt in his assessment
in 2013 that the Obama administrations
program of sanctions and diplomatic efforts
to stop Iran from gaining nuclear weapons
were not working. Tehran, he said, has a
history of denial and deceit.
He also warned of risks in setting up the
no-fly zone over Libya in 2011. And he was
vocal in his assessment that the U.S. needed
to keep two Navy aircraft carriers in the
Middle East to provide additional security
and support for American military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan that dragged
on in recent years.
Mattis would be only the second retired
general to serve as defense secretary, the
first being George C. Marshall in 1950-51
during the Korean War. Marshall was a much
different figure, having previously served as
U.S. secretary of state and playing a key
role in creating closer ties with Western
Europe after World War II.
The only previous exception to the law
requiring a gap after military service was for
Marshall.

Job deals like Carriers often


fall short of political hype
By David A. Lieb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. When


President-elect Donald Trump announced a
deal to save hundreds of jobs at a Carrier
plant in Indiana, it came with a cost to
state taxpayers of about $7 million in tax
breaks and grants.
Similar jobs-for-subsidies deals are
struck nearly every day around the country
by governors, mayors and other officials.
But its debatable whether the economic
impact ultimately lives up to the political
hype.
Some projects fall short of their promises. Economists say other business deals
likely would have occurred even without
the incentives. And in some places, its
hard for the public to track the exact
amount of state and local subsidies that get
provided.
In any given year, federal, state and local
governments promise companies tens of
billions of dollars in public subsidies in

exchange for creating or saving thousands


of jobs.
States offer more than 1,800 incentive
programs for businesses, a figure that has
declined slightly over the past five years as
programs have been consolidated and
revamped, according to the Arlington,
Virginia-based Council for Community and
Economic Research.
While some governments provide direct
grants, the arrangements often allow companies to forgo paying property, income or
sales taxes under the premise that the
money the company saves will help it
expand, hire workers and create an economic ripple effect in the community.
The announcement marked an extraordinary accomplishment for Trump, who had
railed against Carriers plans to shift jobs
to Mexico while campaigning. The deal
was unique because the president-elect
became personally involved in it, and Vice
President-elect Mike Pence was in a position as Indiana governor to help facilitate
the incentives.

Trump speaks with Taiwans


president, risking China tensions
TAIPEI, Taiwan President-elect Donald
Trump spoke Friday with the president of
Taiwan, a move that will be sure to anger
China.
It is highly unusual, probably unprecedented, for a U.S. president or presidentelect to speak directly with a leader of
Taiwan, a self-governing island the U.S.
broke diplomatic ties with in 1979.
Washington has pursued a so-called one
China policy since 1979, when it shifted
diplomatic recognition of China from the
government in Taiwan to the communist

cion, previously expressed by Donald


Trump himself, verifying the vote is a common-sense procedure that would address
concerns around voter disenfranchisement,
Stein said in a statement. Trumps desperate attempts to silence voter demands raise a
simple question: why is Donald Trump afraid
of these recounts?
Wisconsin is the only state where a
recount is underway. It began Thursday, and
one of the states 72 counties had already
completed its task by Friday, with Clinton
gaining a single a vote on Trump. Clinton
lost to Trump in Wisconsin by about 22,000
votes, or less than 1 percentage point.
Two pro-Trump groups, the Great America
PAC and the Stop Hillary PAC, along with
Wisconsin voter Ronald R. Johnson went to
federal court late Thursday to try and stop
the recount. U. S. District Judge James
Peterson on Friday rejected their request for
a temporary restraining order to immediately halt the recount, saying there was no
harm in allowing it to continue while the
court considers their lawsuit. A hearing on
the lawsuit is scheduled for Dec. 9.

The partnership was announced Friday and
is comprised of Facebook, Youth United for
Community Action, Faith in Action Bay
Area, Community Legal Services in East
Palo Alto and Comit de Vecinos del Lado
Oeste. Bennett said the 4-month-old initiative was prompted as her group considered
whether to file a lawsuit concerning the
effects Facebooks expansion would have
on East Palo Alto and Menlo Parks lowincome areas. Instead, they approached the
company hoping to collaborate and were
thrilled by Facebooks enthusiasm and commitment to do more than simply write a
check, she said.
Our goal is to connect people everywhere, and that starts with being good
neighbors in our local community,
Facebook founder and Palo Alto resident
Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his website
announcing the partnership. For all the

opportunity and jobs the technology industry has created, it has also made the Bay
Area a less affordable place to live. We recognize our growth contributes to these challenges, and were committed to helping
solve them so people can afford to live and
work here.
About $18.5 million of Facebooks contribution will go toward the Catalyst
Housing Fund to build or preserve units;
$500,000 to a tenant assistance fund to
help low-income residents threatened with
displacement, $250, 000 to Rebuilding
Together Peninsula, and $625,000 for job
training in science, technology, engineering and math fields. Facebook is also hiring
a liaison dedicated to connecting community members with open positions at the company, according to Facebook.
Representatives from each community

Bennett said they plan to work more collaboratively with Facebook as it undertakes its
expansion.
The funds will roll in annually over the

next few years and ideally, theyll be able to


leverage the money to garner more support
from others, Bennett said. As for policy
advocacy, they will also seek to promote
tenant protection measures in local communities, including just-cause eviction rules
and maybe even rent control. But perhaps
just as valuable as the sizable financial contribution, is the partnership and example

recent data suggest that the economy is in


decent shape. Americans bought homes in
October at the fastest pace in nearly a decade.
Theyre also more confident in the economy
than at any other point in the past nine years
and are spending more.
Those trends are keeping the Federal
Reserve on track to raise short-term interest
rates at its next meeting in less than two
weeks.
For the Fed, barring a very adverse ...
development, a hike at the Dec. 14 meeting
appears to be a done deal, said Michael
Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase.
Two measures illustrate the mixed nature of
the economic recovery:
The unemployment rate is now back to
where it was in August 2007 four months
before the Great Recession began. That suggests that the economy has fully recovered.
Yet the percentage of all adults with jobs is
still 3 percentage points below where it was
in August 2007. Some of that decline has
been driven by retirements among the aging
baby boom generation. But for men age 25

through 54 years old prime working years


the proportion who have jobs remains
substantially below its pre-recession level.
That translates into millions of men who are
neither working nor looking for work.
Why have so many men dropped out?
Kolko says that is probably the biggest
question facing the labor market today.
Many men who arent working blame mental or physical health problems. Alan
Krueger, an economist at Princeton and a former top adviser to President Barack Obama,
has found that nearly half of men ages 25
through 54 who are outside the workforce
take pain medication.
The nation has lost nearly a third of its
manufacturing jobs since 2000, and many
who once held those positions have struggled to find work that pays as well.
But Nicholas Eberstadt, an economist at
the right-leaning American Enterprise
Institute, notes that most European countries
also lost manufacturing jobs, yet havent
seen a similar decline in male employment.
Instead, Eberstadt points to high levels of

incarceration over the past three decades.


Thats left millions of men with criminal
records that can make it hard for them to find
work even years after theyve completed
their sentences.
Randy Shacka, president of Lansing,
Michigan-based moving firm Two Men and a
Truck, says job applicants have had a harder
time passing drug tests in recent years, particularly in states that have eased marijuana
laws.
The company hopes to add 3,000 to its
8,000-person staff by June, when moving
season heats up. But with unemployment
down and the economy growing consistently, the company has had to try harder to find
qualified applicants. It recently introduced a
401(k) plan and has ramped up training,
Shacka said.
Sluggish pay gains have been a chronic
problem for the economy and have provided
less incentive for those who have dropped
out to resume job hunts. Average hourly pay
slipped in November and has risen just 2.5
percent in the past year.

cafe, and can grow up to six plants for personal use. The state is now tasked with creating a licensing system for commercial
operations, which is expected to be rolled
out by 2018.
The new law did, however, provide some
autonomy for local jurisdictions to enact
further restrictions. Cities or counties can
prohibit outdoor marijuana growing and
can ban commercial operations. Attorneys
have theorized that cities looking to ban
marijuana-related businesses or large-scale
cultivation must do so before the state

begins issuing licenses.


Locally, San Mateo, Foster City, San
Bruno and Burlingame adopted stricter
emergency provisions. Half Moon Bay has
considered whether to permit marijuana cultivation in greenhouses or agricultural
lands as a way to help offset the declining
floral industry. The Board of Supervisors is
responsible for regulating unincorporated
areas including the coast, which has prominent agricultural lands in areas such as
Pescadero.
The countys current regulations stem

from a 2009 ordinance that regulates the


licensing of medical marijuana dispensaries and currently there are none operating within the countys jurisdiction.
During its study session next week,
supervisors may instruct staff to craft new
restrictions or opt for more research to be
conducted before considering whether to
create new regulations.
The Board of Superv isors meeting begins

to improve the nations cybersecurity,
weeks before President-elect Donald Trump

House passes $611B defense


policy bill by a wide margin
By Richard Lardner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Republican-led


House on Friday overwhelmingly backed a
$611 billion defense policy bill that rejects
a number of President Barack Obamas key
proposals for managing the nations vast
military enterprise.
Lawmakers passed the legislative package, 375-34. The bill now goes to the
Senate where a vote is expected early next
week.
The bill, crafted after weeks of talks
between House and Senate negotiators, prohibits Obama from following through on
his longstanding campaign pledge to close
the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The
bill also bars the Pentagon from reducing
the number of military bases even though
senior U.S. defense officials said there is
excess capacity, and it awards U.S. troops
their largest pay raise in six years. Obama
had recommended a smaller pay increase.
The bill would prevent the Pentagon from
forcing thousands of California National
Guard troops to repay enlistment bonuses
and benefits they received a decade after they
signed up to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Soldiers would have to return a bonus only if
a preponderance of the evidence shows
they knew they werent eligible to receive

the money.
Even at $611 billion, the Republican
chairman of the House Armed Services
Committee lamented that more money is
needed in the defense budget to restock the
U.S. arsenal worn down by 15 years of conflict. Rep. Mac Thornberry of Texas said he
is hopeful President-elect Donald Trump,
who pledged during the campaign to spend
more on the military, will ask Congress
early next year to boost fiscal year 2017
military spending even further.
During his 2008 bid for president, Obama
pledged to close the detention facility at
Guantanamo, which he called a recruiting
tool for extremist groups. But Republicans
and a number of Democrats repeatedly
thwarted his goal over the ensuing years,
arguing the prison was badly needed for
housing suspected terrorists. The ban on
closing the prison also includes a prohibition on moving Guantanamo detainees to
secure facilities in the U.S.
Trump has not only pledged to keep
Guantanamo open, he said during the campaign that he wants to load it up with some
bad dudes.
The defense legislation also authorizes a
2.1 percent pay raise for the troops a
half-percentage point higher than the
Pentagon requested in its budget presentation.

Rally ebbs as investors seek


safety after weak wage data
By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Investors made a


small move back to safer assets
Friday afternoon after the governments November jobs report
showed continued hiring, but
weak wages.
Indexes finished little changed
as real estate and household goods
companies rose, but banks, which
have soared since the presidential
election, took losses.
Most stocks finished higher,
and the biggest gains went to
companies that pay big dividends,
similar to bonds. Investors also
bought bonds, and prices rose and
yields fell.
The dollar also weakened as
investors expected less inflation.
Thanks to a loss from Goldman
Sachs, which closed at a nine-year
high on Thursday, the Dow Jones
industrial average dipped after
closing at a record high a day ago.
The jobs report called into question some of investors hopes
about the state of the economy,
and they reversed some of the
moves theyve made since the
presidential election three weeks
ago.
It suggests that inflationary
pressures maybe arent building as
quickly, at least on the wage side,
as some had supposed, said Russ
Koesterich, head of asset allocation for BlackRocks Global
Allocation
Fund.
He said
investors want to see a combination of strong wage growth and

stimulus spending to boost the


economy in 2017. The weak wage
figures throw that into doubt.
Youre less likely to see inflation build if people arent getting
paid more because they cant
afford to spend more, said
Koesterich.
The Dow lost 21.51 points, or
0.1 percent, to 19,170.42. The
Standard & Poors 500 index rose
0. 87 points to 2, 191. 95. The
Nasdaq composite added 4. 55
points, or 0. 1 percent, to
5,255.65.
The weak finish appeared to
mark an end, at least for now, of
the post-election rally for U.S.
stocks. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq
fell this week after a three-week
rally took them to record highs.
The Dow finished little changed.
The Labor Department said U.S.
employers added 178,000 jobs in

November as hiring remained


steady. Investors have long
expected that the Federal Reserve
will raise interest rates later this
month, and the jobs report did
nothing to dispel that notion. But
fewer people looked for work and
hourly wages slipped.
Bond prices, which have been
falling sharply since the presidential election, rose. The yield on
the 10-year Treasury note fell to
2.30 percent from 2.45 percent.
Lower bond yields pushed
investors to buy utility and real
estate companies and consumer
goods makers, which are often
compared to bonds because of
their big dividend payments.
When bond yields fall, those
stocks become more appealing to
investors
seeking
income.

The drop in bond yields also
affected banks because yields are
linked to long-term interest rates.
Lower interest rates mean banks

lending. Goldman Sachs fell

the standard for pricing international oils, picked up 52 cents, or
1 percent, to $54.46 a barrel in
London. The price of oil surged 12

percent this week after OPEC


countries agreed to trim the production of oil next year. That was
the biggest weekly rise in oil
prices since February 2011.
The dollar fell to 113.67 yen.
The euro rose to $1.0660 from
$1.0645.
Starbucks shares slid $1.30, or

will remain chairman, and
Starbucks said he will focus on
new ideas like high-end shops.
President and Chief Operating

Health care tab hits $3.2T; fastest growth in eight years


By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The nations


health care tab grew at the fastest
rate in eight years in 2015, driven
by the coverage expansion in
President Barack Obamas law and
by costly prescription drugs, the
government said Friday.
The growth of 5.8 percent in
2015 boosted total health care
spending to $3.2 trillion. Thats
an average of $9,990 per person,
although the vast share of that
money is spent caring for the
sickest patients.
Health spending grew about 2
percentage points faster than the

overall economy in 2015, said


the report from nonpartisan economic experts at the Department
of Health and Human Services.
Thats a problem because it makes
it harder for government programs, employers, and individuals to afford the level of health
care that Americans are used to
having.
The report was disappointing
news for the outgoing Obama
administration,
which
had
enjoyed a long stretch of historically low increases in health care
spending, and had sought to credit
its 2010 health care overhaul for
taming costs. Its a reality check
for President-elect Donald Trump,

who did not focus much on health


care during his campaign and
implied that problems could be
easily fixed.
America has struggled for
decades to balance health care
cost, access, and quality. Obamas
law made significant strides to
expand access, and the report
found nearly 91 percent of U.S.
residents now have coverage. But
the problem of costs has reemerged. Thats partly because
people with health insurance use
more medical care than the uninsured, who tend to postpone going
to the doctor. Some of the newly
insured turned out to be sicker than
those who were already covered.

The report casts further doubt


on the extent of a permanent slowdown in health cost growth, said
economist Eugene Steuerle of the
nonpartisan Urban Institute.
In a milestone for data-watchers,
the report found that the federal
government became the largest
payer for health care in 2015.
Washington accounted for 29 percent of overall spending. That was
followed by households (28 percent), businesses (20 percent),
and state and local governments
(17 percent). In doing the analysis, the HHS experts count the
employee share of premiums for
job-based insurance as spending
by households.

Spending by private health


insurance plans increased by 7.2
percent in 2015, and Medicaid
spending grew by 9.7 percent. In
both cases, the health care law was
a driver. Nine million people had
private insurance through the
health care laws subsidized markets, and nearly 10 million had
Medicaid coverage as a result of
the law. Increases in Medicaid
spending will be a problem for
states. Starting next year, states
that expanded the program under
the health law must gradually pick
up a share of the costs.
Spending on prescription drugs
dispensed through pharmacies
increased by 9 percent in 2015.

M-A falls in state finals Spotlight

on girls at
Bear Bash

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

ORANGE Its become quite apparent


Fletcher Anderson is an outstanding volleyball coach. In two years as head coach at
Menlo-Atherton, Anderson has led the Bears
to two CIF Northern California titles.
Following M-As second CIF Division I
state championship game loss in as many
years, however, Anderson was wearing the
loss even harder than the 2015 defeat. Perhaps
it was the recognition that Fridays three-set
loss to Edison-Huntington Beach could mark
the end of an era with the coming graduation
of the teams core four starting seniors.
But it was also a disheartening loss in that
M-A (30-6 overall) never got going against
the No. 2 seed from the Southern California
Division I bracket. Edison (36-8) featured a
balanced assault of attackers, with three players totaling double-digit kills to dominate the
Bears in a 25-20, 25-21, 25-18 sweep
It didnt turn out the way we wanted,
Anderson said. You always want to end with a
win. But they should be super proud of what
they did (this season).
The Bears core four seniors generated
enough offense to keep the opening two sets
close for a time. Peninsula Athletic League
Co-Most Valuable Player senior Jacqueline
DiSanto shared the match-high with 13 kills;
senior outside hitter Kiana Sales produced
eight kills and a team-best 11 digs; PAL CoMVP senior Eliza Grover notched six kills and
was solid in the back row with six digs; and
All-PAL first team setter, senior Kirby Knapp,
totaled 26 assists and six digs.
But Edisons three-tiered attack of Hannah
Phair, Cassidy Dennison and Taylor Gray kept
the notoriously sharp M-A defense out of
rhythm from the outset. Phair shared the
match-high 13 kills while Gray and Cassidy
Dennison racked up 10 apiece. And adding
another iron to the fire with middle blocker
Kristen Austin checking in in Game 2, the junior went on to total seven kills.
Theyve got a lot of weapons and a lot of
ball control, Anderson said.

With all eyes on the Menlo-Atherton girls


wrestling team, the pressure is now on for the
first time in program history.
With an all-time high 23 wrestlers on the
girls roster, M-A enters the 2016-17 season
ranked No. 1 in the Central Coast Section.
Thats a far cry from two years ago when the
Bears just had one girl in the wrestling program.
With the CCS top ranking comes the pressure of pioneering the girls program. Last year,
head coach Phil Hoang saw an explosion, as
he puts it, in terms of turnout. Twenty-two girls
spent the season putting into a sport that, until
recent years, has been nearly a boys sport
exclusively.
I think theyre a little nervous, Hoang said.
We have experience but for the first time, this
team is being recognized for this. They feel
like were trying to be positive for everyone.
And were trying to set an example and be a
good example for everyone.
Hoang is seizing the opportunity the explosion of numbers has allowed him as, Saturday,
Menlo-Atherton will kick off the season hosting its first annual M-A Girls Bear Bash, a
girls-only wrestling tournament featuring 16
teams from Northern California. San Mateo
County-based
teams
include M-A, Sequoia,

even know such a sport existed.
Having grown up playing recreational soccer, McDonalds introduction to wrestling came
in freshman P.E. class when the M-Aboys team
held a demonstration for fellow students. Before
the boys team hit the mat, McDonald was reluctant to even give the demo any serious attention.
When some people think of wrestling, they
think of like Sumo wrestling, McDonald said.
So, I didnt know what it was.
Six weeks later, McDonald was attending her
first day of wrestling practice. The then-freshman went on to embrace the sports and excel in
the postseason. In the 121-pound division, she
took fourth place at the Peninsula Athletic
League championships and advanced to the
Central Coast Section finals, where she recorded a 2-2 record to finish her season in seventh
place.

As being phased out of revenue sharing,


urgency now in building new ballpark
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The Oakland Athletics will be


phased out of revenue sharing in the coming
years as part of baseballs new labor deal, and
that puts even more urgency on the smallbudget franchises plan to find the right spot
soon to build a new, privately funded ballpark.
The As revenue-sharing funds will be cut to
75 percent next year, 50 percent in 2018, 25
percent in 2019 and then phased out as part of
the five-year agreement reached Wednesday
and formally announced Friday.

We are very excited


that there is an agreement
on a new CBA. We are
committed right now to
investing every dollar of
revenue that we generate
back into the on-field
product and the fan experience, new As team

hard to increase our revenue in the near term so
that we can allocate more resources to both of

One surprise in PAL football all-league awards


By Nathan Mollat

Bay Division

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Its not unusual to see best player awards


handed out to those who compete for the team
that won a division or league championship.
And the Peninsula Athletic League, for the
most part, is no different. The PAL AllDivision teams were released publicly Friday,
with Menlo-Atherton dominating the Bay
Divisions best and Lake Division champ San
Mateo filling most of the player of the year categories in that division.
But there was a surprising choice for Ocean
Division Offensive Player of the Year. Half
Moon Bays Chase Hofmann and Menlo
Schools Charlie Ferguson, two teams that finished tied for the division title and two of the
top running backs in all of the PAL, were
expected to vie for the divisions top offensive
award.
In the end, Ferguson was given the nod.
I put [Hofmann] up (for the MVP award).
Some other coaches put some other players up
(for consideration). There are only six who
vote (the six division coaches). Four vote for
their own kid. That left two votes. [Hofmann]
got neither of them, said Half Moon Bay
coach Keith Holden.
Holden said he did not complain because ultimately it would do no good and did not want to
make it about himself or his team.
Would complaining change anything? No.
there were other (coaches of other) people who
didnt win it who were upset, Holden said.
Ferguson rushed for 621 yards in Ocean
Division play, compared to 620 for Hofmann,
who appeared in one less game. For the season,
however, Hofmann finished with 2,070 yards
rushing and 29 touchdowns, while Ferguson
finished with 1,613 and 25 scores.
Menlo took the top honors on both sides of

Tigers Woods posts a 65 in second round back


By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASSAU, Bahamas Tiger Woods saved


par from the dunes with a shot so good that
two spectators ran over and scooped up sand
for a souvenir.
It also served as motivation Friday at the
Hero World Challenge. The tee shot on the
par-3 eighth that landed next to a bush was
so bad that Woods said he told caddie Joe
LaCava after his par putt, Im not dropping
a shot.
And he didnt.
Woods capped a bogey-free round with an
even more unlikely par save on the 16th
hole. What stood out on a balmy day at
Albany was a seven-hole stretch in the middle of the round in which he never really
missed a shot. It led to enough birdies for a
7-under 65, leaving him six shots behind
and in a tie for ninth in the 17-man field.
His golf was as good as it was Thursday,
his first competition in 15 months, only
this time he eliminated the mistakes.
I wanted to keep that card clean, Woods

OAKLAND The Oakland Athletics have
agreed to a $4 million, one-year contract
with first baseman Yonder
Alonso to avoid salary
arbitration.
The As also announced
Friday they have tendered
contracts to all remaining
players on their roster.
Alonso batted . 253
with 34 doubles, seven
homers and 56 RBIs in
Yonder Alonso 156 games in his first
season with Oakland last
year.
Oakland also outrighted infielder Rangel
Ravelo to Triple-A Nashville and will bring
him to spring training as a non-roster invitee.
The As have four remaining arbitrationeligible players on their roster: outfielder
Khris Davis, catcher Stephen Vogt, and
pitchers Sonny Gray and Liam Hendriks.

Nationals reacquire catcher


Derek Norris from Padres
WASHINGTON The Washington
Nationals have reacquired catcher Derek
Norris from the San Diego Padres for minor

said. I dont know what


it is about playing and
competing, but keeping
cards clean, theres
something really special. And it feels pretty
good about doing that.
And he did it quickly,
in just under three hours.
Justin Rose, who
Tiger Woods
opened with a 74, withdrew with back problems. That left Woods
as a single, and when he realized there would
not be much wind, he felt he could play just
as well without a marker (typically the club
pro) to get a feel for how various shots
might be affected.
He was on his own and moving in the
right direction.
The par save on No. 8 and a wedge to tapin range on the No. 9 allowed him to make
the turn in 33, just like Thursday. The difference was how he finished.
After pounding a drive down with the wind
at his back on the par-5 11th he had to
carry a bunker 290 yards away he switch
league right-hander Pedro Avila.
Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo
announced the trade Friday.
Norris, a 2007 first-round pick of the
Nationals, hit .186 with 14 home runs and
42 RBIs last season for San Diego. The 27year-old is a career .233 hitter in five major
league seasons with the Oakland Athletics
and Padres.
Washington sent Norris to Oakland for
left-hander Gio Gonzalez in 2011. He
returns to the Nationals, who avoided arbitration with catcher Jose Lobaton on
Thursday.
All-Star catcher Wilson Ramos is a free
agent who will miss the start of the season
after knee surgery.
Avila, 19, went 7-7 with a 3.48 ERA in 20
starts for Single-A Hagerstown last season.

Giants agree to one-year


deals with Adrianza, Gearrin
SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco
Giants have agreed to one-year contracts with
infielder Ehire Adrianza and right-hander Cory
Gearrin to avoid salary arbitration.
The team announced the moves on Friday.
Adrianza batted .254 with two homers and
seven RBIs in 40 games last season.
Gearrin went 3-2 with a 4.28 ERA in 56
relief appearances.
The other Giants eligible for arbitration are
pitchers George Kontos and Will Smith, and
infielders Eduardo Nunez and Conor Gillaspie.

to a 5-iron to play away from a bunker to the


right of the green, making sure he would
have the right angle to the pin. It was right
where he was aiming, a yard off the green,
setting up an easy two-putt birdie. He followed that with a 6-iron to a foot for birdie
on the 12th, a 10-foot birdie putt on the
14th and a two-putt birdie on the par-5 15th.
He made seven birdies, but nothing
brought out the emotion like a par.
His tee shot on the 16th, where he made
double bogey Thursday, took a wild hop
into a bush in the sandy area. Enough of the
ball was showing that Woods tried to hit 6iron to the front bunker, but it came out
heavy into more of the waste area. The next
shot was well beyond the hole.
The par putt dropped on its final turn, and
Woods thrust his fist toward the cup and
slapped the face of his putter.
Two more pars, and he was done and feeling much better about the next two days.
I really had it dialed in both ways, he
said. I was shaping it both ways and I really had nice control of my (trajectory). That
was the key. I was able to keep the ball down

when I needed to and send it at times.


Woods stayed out of golf following two
back surgeries over the last three months of
2015, and he had not competed since a tie
for 10th at the Wyndham Championship on
Aug. 23, 2015. There have been no issues
with his back, and Woods said he has made a
few changes with his swing and how much
he works away from golf.
If he looks slimmer, he says he picked up
an illness from his children over
Thanksgiving. More relevant is that he said
he no longer lifts as much weight or runs as
he once did. Woods said he used to run 30
miles a week in his early days on tour.

NASCAR hopes new ATHLETICS


sponsor will attract
younger fans to sport
LAS VEGAS NASCARs top circuit has been called the
Winston Cup, Nextel Cup and Sprint Cup.
Starting in 2017, the sport could have a Cup-less name, one of
many changes expected as Monster Energy takes over as title
sponsor with a desire to attract younger fans to a sagging sport.
Young people set trends in fashion and then older people
adapt, said Mark Hall, Monsters chief marketing officer.
Fashion is set by a small group of influencers. The challenge is
to make your product relevant to that group and then have them
influence the others. If weve been successful in the past, weve
followed that model.
A decade ago, NASCAR was the cool sport, drawing record television ratings and numerous sponsors as it branched out from
its Southeastern roots. The recession hit the sport hard, then the
fans started to scatter and TV ratings dwindled. Sprint, which
inherited the sponsorship of the sports top series when it
merged with Nextel, announced in December 2014 it wouldnt
renew.
It took nearly two years to find a replacement, and its believed
Monster is paying much less. But NASCAR hopes the relationship with the California-based maker of caffeine-filled energy
drinks will reinvigorate an aging fan base.
NASCAR Chairman Brian France kept saying fun and
edgy in describing Monster at Thursdays news conference
announcing the agreement.
They get at a millennial audience in a different way than weve
ever been associated with, France said. They know what
theyre doing.
France declined to say what the name of the circuit will be in
2017. NASCARs press release of the multiyear agreement
referred to NASCARs premier series, hinting the Cup name
will go away. An official announcement of the name and logo is
expected within a couple weeks.

bounced back from three early deficits of 8-5, 10-8 and 12-10
to tie it each time, but could never get over the top to take the
lead. Phair, Gray and Cassidy Dennison worked in rotation off
the left side to give the Bears fits. Of Edisons 11 kills in the
set, eight came from the outside hitter position.
Then after M-A tied it 12-12 to force a side out, DiSanto
committed one of the Bears four service faults in the opening
set. Edison, in turn, got back-to-back aces from senior libero
Dani Dennison amid a 5-0 run, and M-A never got closer than
four points for the remainder of the set.
We missed too many serves and our passing was never really there, DiSanto said. We were never able to run our middles
and I think thats what really hurt us.
Indeed, sophomore middle Alicia Letvin and freshman middle Marit Hoyem managed just 12 attacking attempts in the
match, and totaled just one kill between them. Dani Dennison
the twin sister of Cassidy Dennison said that was precisely Edisons strategy.
Theyre a really good team and they block well, but we
picked up on that really quickly, Dani Dennison said.
Game 2 was more of the same. M-A overcame and early 8-4
deficit with a four-point run to tie it. But again the Bears never
managed a lead. The set crawled to ties of 9-9, 10-10, 11-11
and 12-12, but M-A committed one of its 28 unforced errors to
give Edison a 13-12 edge and the Chargers never again trailed.
Down 21-16, M-A went on a mini-run capped by a Letvin
block to close it to 21-19. But a Cassidy Dennison kill and a
block by Phair put the set on ice to give Edison a commanding
2-sets-to-0 lead.
In Game 3, M-A earned its first lead since early in the opening set. The Bears overcame a 4-1 deficit to take its first multipoint lead at 16-12 on a block by Sales. But as quickly as the
little wind in M-As sails came, Edison responded with an 110 run winning several extended brawling rallies to all but
put the championship on ice.
They like to extend rallied just like we do but they were the
better team today, Anderson said.
M-As players werent nearly as stunned following the match
as they were following their elimination from the Central
Coast Section Open Division bracket. Knapp said it was the
feeling the Bears were playing with house money.
I think we were lucky in CIF, and getting another chance to
play in CIF after getting knocked out in CCS, Knapp said. It
was a great second chance. And weve played well. We just didnt show it tonight.
M-A finishes the season having won 29 of its last 31 matches. In regular-season play, the Bears earned their third consecutive PAL Bay Division championship; through the past three
season, M-A has lost just one match in league play. And the
Bears became the first team in program history to win back-toback Nor Cal titles.
They should be so proud of themselves, Anderson said.
Getting here two years in a row, how well theyve played all
season they should not be defined by what they did today.

Commissioner Rob Manfred said during the Cubs-Giants


series in October he would like to see the club stay put and find
a viable solution in Oakland, and Mayor Libby Schaaf has
pledged her commitment.
The As have a current payroll of $87 million, pending award
bonuses and adjustments, and that is above only Tampa Bay
and Milwaukees. They added outfielder Matt Joyce with an $11
million, two-year contract Wednesday and avoided a potential
arbitration case when first baseman Yonder Alonso agreed
Friday to a $4 million, one-year contract.
Pushing forward for a new ballpark is a top priority, along
with improving the fan experience at the Coliseum in the
meantime to keep a frustrated fan base happy until ground
breaks to show this really will happen prompting him to
say last month, I know its maybe lipstick on a pig.
The run-down Coliseum, shared with the Raiders and the last
venue with both Major League Baseball and football, had multiple sewage problems in 2013 that caused damage during
games among other issues.
Kaval is committed to making quick progress but also doing
this right. That means strong communication with city and
civic leaders as well as the community and fan base. On
Tuesday afternoon, Kaval will host his first office hours at the
Coliseum open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis
then each Tuesday after that by appointment. He has held a
similar practice as with the Earthquakes.
I do hope our new president has a better understanding of
what the fans want in order to get a new stadium done, catcher
Stephen Vogt said in a text message Friday. I think its great
that he is having office hours that fans can come in and give
him their opinion on what they would like to see. The new stadium is for these fans. These fans deserve a new stadium. They
waited long and they still supported us through thick and thin
the last few years.

Who has it better than Raiders Hayden


the 49ers? Everybody! headed to IR with
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco


49ers have fallen to a new level of failure and
futility, a laughingstock of the league.
Among the worst theyve ever been when all
that winning from just a few years back is still
so fresh. Oh, and the Oakland Raiders are running through the AFC.
After an impressive shutout of the Rams in
the season opener lifted spirits for a turnaround
following two straight seasons out of the
playoffs, San Francisco
has lost a franchise-worst
10 in a row.
So, whos got it better
than us? (Almost) everybody!
I just feel like every
team circles us on their calendar, Eli Harold said
recently. We cant be the
Jed York
target. We cant be a laughingstock.
Fans have taken to
social media begging for
emotional,
hard-nosed
Michigan coach Jim
Harbaugh to come back.
Hey, even one-and-done
Jim Tomsula sounds like a
better alternative to some
Trent Baalke he won five games last
year, after all.
CEO Jed York never saw
this kind of losing and
embarrassment coming for
his once-proud franchise.
He had high hopes of
immediately contending
again when he hired a big
name in Chip Kelly nearly
11 months ago.
Hes going to be able
Chip Kelly
to take us to where we want
to go, York promised at the time.
Instead, there is little to cheer for in Kellys
first year; the embarrassment of a half-empty
home stadium many Sundays; and infuriated
fans who have simply had enough and are
choosing to spend their hard-earned money
anywhere but $1.3 billion, third-year Levis
Stadium.
San Francisco is worst in the NFC, and only
ahead of winless Cleveland in the entire NFL.
Quite a valley for an organization that reached
three straight NFC title games from 2011-13.
Only adding to the pain is the other team in
their market, AFC West-leading Oakland, is
one of the NFLs best stories.
Next up for the Niners (1-10) is a game at
Chicago (2-9) this Sunday after a week spent
practicing in Orlando rather than returning to

the West Coast following a loss at Miami.


Kelly expects his players to keep fighting
to finish this season as well as could be imagined given the historic struggles.
Theyre professionals and I think theyre
all competitors, so I dont know what theyd
gain from packing it in. Is that going to make
them feel better? Kelly said. They want to
straighten this thing out, so theyre going to
go out and compete and weve got a bunch of
competitors in there that want to go win. I
dont want anybody to pat them on the back
and tell them that: Hey, you did a good job.
You were close. Theyre grown men, they
want to win and theyll continue to work that
way.
Oh what they would do for the Candlestick
Park glory days of Joe Montana to Dwight
Clark or Steve Young beautifully finding Jerry
Rice, and Ronnie Lott landing a crushing,
game-changing hit. Five Super Bowl titles
under newly enshrined Hall of Famer Edward
DeBartolo Jr.
I feel very bad for what theyre going
through, DeBartolo said, but theyll definitely come out of it.
The lost season could lead to the dismissal of
Kelly or general manager Trent Baalke
maybe even both, though that would be a lot of
money for York to commit to paying out given
Tomsula still had his salary on the books when
he was dismissed. Then, the daunting idea of
both a GM and coaching search again.
Or, they both could stay. Yorks plans are
anybodys guess.
Four months ago, Baalke acknowledged the
need to win for his own job security.
If youre in the National Football League,
youre on the hot seat. Sometimes its a little
hotter than others, he said. This is a performance-based business. Youre here to win. I
always look at it like that. I dont ever look at
it any other way.
Its worth noting that mobile quarterback
Colin Kaepernick is making just enough
strides and big plays in his comeback from
three surgeries to land himself a solid opportunity elsewhere. That could mean the Niners
would get none of the long-term benefits of
his development. Or he might opt to stay put
where hes comfortable and accepted .
Then theres the draft, on which Baalke
noted, We certainly have had some misses.
San Francisco had 12 arrests or charges filed
involving seven players from January 2012 to
Aldon Smiths August 2015 release. York
vowed his franchise would win with class,
and now the Niners are being ultra-cautious and
trying to select only who they believe to be
high-character guys.
Baalkes choices since being put in charge
of the draft have been questioned , along with
why he wasnt more proactive in free agency
this year.

hamstring injury
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The Raiders plan to place


cornerback DJ Hayden on injured reserve
because of a hamstring injury, potentially
ending the former first-round picks stay in
Oakland.
Although the team had yet to make an
official announcement, coach Jack Del Rio
told reporters on Friday that Haydens season was finished.
Hes got a substantial
hamstring (injury) so
hes not going to be
returning this year to
us, Del Rio said. That
was a big blow. Thatll
happen either tonight or
tomorrow. Its unfortunate. He was playing
DJ Hayden
well for us but thats the
case.
Hayden was injured on the second play in
the fourth quarter of last weeks win against
the Carolina Panthers and did not return.
That ended an up-and-down season for the
fifth-year player who had been playing
mostly in nickel situations.
Its always a blow when we lose any type
of player because every piece that we have
is critical for our success on the field, said
TJ Carrie, who is likely to replace Hayden
as Oaklands nickel back. A lot of other
guys are going to have to step up. A lot of
the younger guys are going to have to step
up and be on notice for whatever happens
with us in the back end.
It is also a potentially cruel ending to
Haydens tenure in Oakland.
The Raiders went 14-34 during Haydens
first three seasons but are 9-2 and leading
the AFC West heading into Sundays home
game against the Buffalo Bills. General

manager Reggie McKenzie declined to pick


up the option year on Haydens contract
this past offseason, however, making him a
free agent at the end of this season.
Hayden did not come into the locker room
during the media access period Friday.
Carrie, a close friend, said his teammate is
trying to remain upbeat.
DJs a big part of our success defensively, what weve been able to do, Carrie said.
As a professional, your hopes are going to
be down for a little bit but at the end of the
day I think hes still very positive in the
sense he can be around us and definitely
teach us some of the things that he knows
and allow us to see some of the things hes
seen on the field. That will be critical for all
of us.
The 12th overall pick in 2013, Hayden
has played only one full season due to a history of injuries after suffering a near-fatal
heart injury prior to his senior year in college. Hayden missed eight games as a rookie because of a groin injury and sat out the
first six games in 2014 with a foot injury.
He has all the tools to go as high as he
wants to go, Raiders cornerback David
Amerson said. I just always knew when he
gets there mentally he could do all these
things, that he could play with the best of
them. That he was going to be an important
piece, of any team, of our team. It sucks,
man.

was removed from the injury list. .
Defensive tackles Stacy McGee (ankle),
Darius Latham (ankle) and linebacker
Shalique Calhoun (knee) did not practice and

Which does not sound like much, but last
year was my first year, McDonald said. Other
girls had a ton more experience. So just getting to finish seventh was a huge accomplishment for me.
This season, McDonald enters the season
ranked seventh in the 126-pound division.
Two M-A girls earned No. 1 preseason rankings: senior Chelsea Wilson the reigning
CCS champion and state bronze medalist in
106s now in 111s; and sophomore Fola
Akinola the reigning CCS champ in
160s.
It took seven years it took some time to
get here, but we are here, Hoang said of the

SPORTS
teams No. 1 preseason
ranking. We just have to
earn it now.
As far as M-A has come
in terms of earning
medals, the team has come
just as far in earning
respect, Hoang said. This
years Girls Bear Bash is
Chelsea Wilson emblematic of just how far
the sport has come. Last
year, the team had trouble even finding tournaments. Hoang recounted a co-ed tourney at a
CCS school that was so overbooked
approximately 200 wrestlers showed up for an
event meant to accommodate 150, he said
during which some wrestlers had to wait
upwards of five hours between matches.
At least M-A had the numbers to help create
such a logjam though. The first five years of
the seventh-year coachs M-A career, Hoangs

THE DAILY JOURNAL

mission was merely establishing a girls program that other county schools such as Terra
Nova and South City had establish in previous
years.
With one wrestler on roster through those
first five seasons including the first-ever
girls wrestler in program history, 2012 graduate Kendra Wiley it was slow goings. And
Hoang found M-A wasnt the only school
fighting an uphill battle in establishing a
girls program.
Not anymore, Hoang said. I think in the
last two years, not really. But four or five years
ago it was pretty common for (other schools)
coaches to tell me it wasnt worth their time.
A lot of times, it was like it was a detriment
to their boys program.
Huang said challenging the local culture
took work as well. The nature of wrestling as a
contact sport was a deterrent for many girls,
individually and culturally.

Youve got to find the right kids, Hoang


said. This is not what their parents envisioned for them when they came in but I
think the dynamic is changing here. I think
the kids like the challenge in it. They like finding the discipline level on their own.
Many like McDonald have embraced the
independence the sport demands. The sophomore called her first season competing on the
mat rewarding, and is now intent on improving enough to advance to the state finals this
year.
Terra Nova also fared well in the CCS preseason rankings, landing No. 3 in the girls team
poll. Terra Nova junior Victoria Borrego
reigning CCS champ and state bronze medalist
earned the No. 1 ranking in 106s; junior
Marlene Salinas reigning CCS champ
earned the No. 1 ranking in 150s; and senior
Minnah Adamsa CCS silver medalist last
season earned the No. 1 ranking in 170s.

LA 2024 releases $5.3


billion Olympic budget;
no new stadiums needed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Los Angeles bid committee


for the 2024 Olympics released
details of a nearly unheard-of budget plan Friday, insisting $5.3 billion will be enough to cover both
operational and infrastructure costs
for an Olympics that wont need
any new, permanent stadiums.
The cost would be less than half
that of the recently completed Rio
Games and about a quarter of
Tokyos ballooning budget for the
2020 Olympics.
It also defies convention in the
Olympic bidding business, in
which cities traditionally deal with
two figures one for operational
costs and one for non-Olympics
costs that cover capital and infrastructure.
Bid officials say they can do this
because more than 30 venues
already exist in the L.A. area and
those that dont will be built as
temporary structures. The bid folded in $1.2 billion for infrastructure,
which would primarily be used for

temporary venues and to bring


existing ones up to Olympic standards.
If LA is chosen to host the 2024
Games, the IOC does not have to
worry about changing or evolving
budgets, shifting competition venues or uncertainty about the delivery of the Games, bid chairman
Casey Wasserman said.
Los Angeles is going against
Paris and Budapest, Hungary.
Preliminary figures for Paris called
for an infrastructure budget of $4.5
billion and operational costs of
$4.8 billion, with 95 percent of the
citys proposed venues either temporary or already in existence. The
next deadline for cities to submit
candidate files, which will include
updated budget figures, is Feb. 3.
The games will be awarded next
September.
Gone from Los Angeles budget
was a one-time projected surplus of
$161 million. In its place is a $491
million contingency fund that
would cover cost overruns.

Thankful for
Thanksgiving
By Karan Nevatia

hanksgiving has never been a big


thing in my family. My parents are
both immigrants, so they never
grew up celebrating the American holiday
and, as vegetarians, the traditional meal
revolving around a turkey was never
appealing.
So, Thanksgiving became more of a
preparation for Black Friday than a celebration to give thanks. My
dad and my brother would
venture out at 8 p.m. on
Thanksgiving, waiting
in line for Best Buys
midnight opening, to
buy the latest tech products at the cheapest
prices.
My mom would go to
the Hillsdale Shopping Center on the
morning of Black Friday, shopping for
holiday gifts and fashionable clothing
from Express. My younger sister and I
would usually tag along, playing around in
the LEGO store or begging to buy plastic
toys that we knew we would play with for a
few days before leaving them forgotten in a
closet.
Every year, wed discuss not going out to
shop on Black Friday. Our house is already
filled with the latest gadgets, my moms
closet is overflowing with clothing and
Amazon is all we need for holiday gifts.
But there was some underlying fear of
missing out in all of us. We got pages and
pages of Black Friday deals in the mail, and
60 percent off of those latest Bluetooth
headphones seemed too good to pass up,
even though we have six different pairs of
headphones lying around the house that no
one uses.
And each year after we came home, our
Black Friday shopping was never quite satisfying. We started the day with giddy cravings for plastic that looked good on paper,

Natalie Portman plays Jacqueline Kennedy in Jackie.

Natalie Portman explores the
mysteries of Jackie Kennedy
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Jacqueline Kennedy did


not have a conventional speaking voice.
Its part New York, part prep school MidAtlantic, and its jarring to most modern
ears. Natalie Portman remembers her first
few days on the set of Jackie, going all in
on that very specific accent and looking up
to see her director Pablo Larrains wide-eyed
bafflement.
Pablos face was like uhhhhh. . . ,
Portman said laughing.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

They were filming a recreation of the television special A Tour of the White House
with Mrs. John F. Kennedy, where CBS
News correspondent Charles Collingwood
followed the first lady around with cameras
as they spoke about each room and her
pricey restoration. Larran stopped during
one take and played footage of the actual
tour just to check. He was amazed at how
spot-on Portmans interpretation actually
was.

History, lately run amok, is ordered with


such tidy, forceful finesse by Natalie
Portmans Jacqueline Kennedy in the piercing Jackie. Summoning a journalist to
Hyannis Port in 1963, not long after the
assassination of John F. Kennedy, she coolly sets the record for her late husbands legacy, coining Camelot and shaping the
mythology. Some details that dont fit the
narrative she simply crosses out. I dont
smoke, she tells the Life magazine reporter
(Billy Crudup), with a cigarette dangling
between her fingers.
Pablo Larrains Jackie, a work of probing intimacy and shattered stereotype, is an
electrifyingly fractured portrait of the for-

Miss Bennet: Christmas at


Pemberley a holiday treat
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

KEVIN BERNE

Arthur de Bourgh (Adam Magill) and Mary Bennet (Martha Brigham).

Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon


have created a delicious holiday confection
with Miss Bennet: Christmas at
Pemberley, presented by Marin Theatre
Company.
It imagines what Jane Austen might have
written as a sequel to Pride and Prejudice.
Occurring in 1815, two years after the end
of that play, this one takes place at
Pemberley, the estate of Elizabeth Darcy
(Cindy Im) and Fitzwilliam Darcy (Joseph
Patrick OMalley), who are hosting her
family for Christmas.
First to join them is Mary (Martha
Brigham), the unmarried middle sister. Next

comes another sister, the very pregnant


Jane Bingley (Lauren Spencer), and her husband, Charles (Thomas Gorrebeeck).
The youngest sister, Lydia Wickham
(Erika Rankin), arrives later, sans husband.
Despite her claims to the contrary, shes not
happily married.
The story focuses on the bookish, bright
but socially awkward Mary. She says shes
content with her solitary state, but some of
her behavior says otherwise.
Then theres another guest, Arthur de
Bourgh (Adam Magill), invited by Mr.
Darcy, much to his wifes surprise. Arthur
has recently come into an inheritance that
grants him the title of lord, a fortune and an
estate.

Man Down waits


too long to deliver
a worthy message
By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Man Down carries a poignant message about American


veterans mental health needs, but you may give up on the
movie before it gets there. Nothing is
clear until the films final moments, which
hit with a gut punch just before the credits
roll.
Until then, the story is told through disjointed flashbacks that make it hard to
know whats going on and who to root for.
Director Dito Montiel bounces between
boot camp, active duty in Afghanistan and
life in post-apocalyptic America, with star
Shia LaBeouf Shia LaBeoufs haircut and beard scruff the
only real indicator of where we are in time.
LaBeoufs performance is powerful, maybe his best to date,
but its unduly burdened by an erratic story structure that doesnt engender empathy for his character.
He plays Gabe, a Marine who enlisted with his lifelong best
friend, Devin (Jai Courtney). When we first see the two men,
theyre dirty and bearded, not in uniform, brandishing guns in
a bombed-out city as they desperately look for Gabes son.
Gabe carries a worn picture in his pocket of his wife, Natalie
(Kate Mara), and their towheaded little boy, Jonathan (Charlie
Shotwell, heartbreaking in the final scenes).
Suddenly, uniformed, clean-shaven Gabe is in an office
being questioned by a military counselor (Gary Oldman, disappointingly flat). The counselor is asking about the incident, and Gabe is stoic.
Then its basic training at Camp Lejeune, where Gabe and
Devin are new recruits being toughened up by an unrelenting
drill sergeant. Natalie sweetly shaves Gabes head as he prepares to ship out to Afghanistan.
Now, Gabe and Devin are back from the war, bearded and
dirty, wandering dystopian streets and threatening a homeless
man as they look for Gabes family.
Now clean-shaven Gabe is driving his son to school as they
playfully decide to use the military term man down as secret
code for I love you. He promises to send letters from
Afghanistan.
Now stoic Gabe drops a reluctant tear while talking to the
military counselor.
The meandering structure creates a little too much mystery
for the audience to know where to place its allegiances. Did
the Marines have something to do with the disappearance of
Gabes son, so Gabe and Devin have gone rogue? Or did Gabe
harm his son, and thats why hes being questioned by a military counselor? That distinction is key if we want to root for
the good guy.
Screenwriter Adam G. Simons nonlinear story parses out
details in such a way that we doesnt know enough about
Gabes situation to experience his emotional arc until the
very end, which feels like a lost opportunity given its heartwrenching heft. Without that context, its hard to fully appreciate LaBeoufs nuanced performance. We dont understand
what were looking at until its over.
Man Down ultimately has a lot to say about the debilitating effects of war and the dismal reality for many veterans
who suffer from post-traumatic stress. It just waits too long to
say it.
Man Down, a Lionsgate release, is rated R by the Motion
Picture Association of America for some disturbing violence,
and language throughout. Running time: 92 minutes. Two
stars out of four.

Violence nixes holiday


cheer in Night Alive
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

San Jose Stage Company calls contemporary Irish playwright Conor


McPhersons The Night Alive a kind
of nativity story, but its hard to find
many parallels with the Bible story.
Nevertheless, as the cast talked with
audience members after the reviewed
performance, one actor said the play is
about hope, which is part of the nativity story.
The play is set in an extremely cluttered downstairs apartment in Dublin
occupied by down-on-his-luck Tommy
(Randall King), courtesy of his cranky

uncle, Maurice (Julian LpezMorillas), who lives upstairs.


Tommy is often joined by his amiable but not-too-bright friend Doc
(Lawrence Radecker), who helps him
in the odd jobs they manage to find.
One night Tommy returns home
assisting Aimee (Allison F. Rich), a
stranger who he found badly beaten by
her boyfriend. She winds up staying
and becoming friends with Tommy and
Doc.
Things change when Aimees
boyfriend, the menacing Kenneth
(Jonathan Rhys Williams), unexpectedly barges in when Doc is there alone.
Bloody violence erupts.
As time passes, Aimee has left for

parts unknown, but she returns and is


welcomed in the wake of other changes
that offer the hope cited by the actor.
Despite the darkness that pervades
much of the play, there are moments of
humor, expertly delivered by the outstanding cast and director Tony Kelly.
Running about an hour and 45 minutes with no intermission, this isnt
what one might consider holiday fare,
but its absorbing and well acted, making it worthwhile, but only for adults.
The Night Alive will continue
through Dec. 11 at San Jose Stage
Company, 420 S. First St., San Jose.
For tickets and information call (408)
283-7142 or visit thestage.org.

Hes uncomfortable with all three.
Similarly, hes uncomfortable with most
people because, like Mary, hes bookish and
socially awkward. Its only natural that they
would be attracted to each other, but their
shyness gets in the way.
There are other complications, too, such
as Lydias flirting with Arthur and a mixup of
letters written by her, Mary and Arthur.
Another complication is the arrival of
Arthurs cousin, the catty Anne de Bourgh
(Laura Odeh), who claims they are engaged,
much to his surprise and Marys chagrin.
Of course all works out well in the end,
thanks in large part to interventions by the
two married couples.
Although its a love story, its also a celebration of the importance of family and
kindness to one another.
The playwrights write in the style of Jane
Austen, which can seem formal at first but
which soon seems natural. Theres much
humor to leaven all that formality, producing many laughs.
Besides the script itself, much of the

WEEKEND JOURNAL
plays success stems from Meredith
McDonoughs sure-handed direction of the
ensemble cast. All of the actors seem well
suited to their roles.
Its great fun to watch their characters
reactions as situations unfold. Even if the
conversation is between just two people,
theres much to be gained from watching the
others.
The handsome drawing room set, complete with an elevated library area, is by
Erik Flatmo. The ceiling-high Christmas
tree that graces one corner seems strange to
most of the characters, but Elizabeth says it
was inspired by a German custom. As the
play progresses, lights and ornaments are
added.
Running about two hours with one intermission, this production is the third of a
rolling world premiere. The other two
opened in Chicago and Bethesda, Maryland,
within the two weeks before this opening.
It was scheduled to run through Dec. 18,
but artistic director Jasson Minadakis said
he hoped audience demand will extend it
through Dec. 23, and it was shortly later.
Its likely that the play will become a holiday treat all around the country.

Valley. For tickets and information call

WHITE HOUSE IN AMERICA: GRANT
WOOD S
AMERICAN
GOTHIC
DRAWS VISITORS TO ELDON, IOWA.
A dour farmer, wearing overalls and a jacket
and clutching a pitchfork, poses rigidly
next to a pinch-faced, apron-clad woman
who gazes into the distance. Behind them is
a modest white farmhouse whose second
floor window has a pointed arch. Unlikely
subjects for one of the most recognized
paintings in the world, but this is what
Grant Woods American Gothic has become
since he painted it in 1930 for a competition at the Art Institute of Chicago. The
painting entered the Institutes permanent
collection. The little farmhouse still stands
in its original location in Eldon, Iowa,
where Wood saw it (only once) during a brief
stay. With its listing on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1974 and its
donation in 1991 to the State Historical
Society of Iowa by its last private owner,
the house is secure. Now, visitors come
from all over the world to spend time in
Eldon, to see the place that inspired Woods
masterpiece, and to make themselves a little
part of its story.
GET IN THE S PIRIT AND PUT
YOURSELF INTO THE PICTURE. Steps
from the farmhouse is the American Gothic
House Center, which contains displays
about Grant Wood and the creation of the
painting as well as a collection of the paintings parodies. The Center generously lends
various sizes of the apron, overalls, suit
jacket and pitchfork to encourage visitors
to pose in front of the house and create their
own American Gothic portrait. To help personalize the portrait, visitors can substitute
an implement of their own trade (in place of
the pitchfork held by the man) or a piece of
their own jewelry (in place of the broach
worn by the woman).
American
Gothic
House
Center
Administrator Holly Berg said: Most visitors are very excited at the opportunity to
put themselves in the picture. Sometimes it
takes a little coaxing to get a reluctant
spouse or teenager involved, but once they
don the costume they get in the spirit. It
does amaze me the number of visitors that
come prepared for their photos. One group
of sisters came dressed in their fathers
iconic overalls as a tribute to him. Another

couple came as Batman and Robin and wrote


in the guest book that they were from
Gothic City (instead of Gotham). The stories, both touching and goofy, are endless!
And though the parody photos are a fun
experience, it is always interesting to see
how many people notice something about
the painting they didnt realize until they
put themselves in it such as the daughters shoulder slightly behind the fathers, or
her off to the side glance. It always ends up
being a fun, but educational experience at
the same time.
AMERICAN GOTHIC HOUSE PARTICULARS. The American Gothic House is
located at 300 American Gothic St. in
Eldon, Iowa. Tours of the downstairs portion of the house are given the second
Saturday of the month, April through
October from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Due to the
historic features of the house and grounds,
accessibility for visitors with limited
mobility can be challenging. The adjacent
American Gothic House Center, photo-op
area, and parking lot are all accessible. For

the death of his father. From then on, Wood
lived most of his life in Cedar Rapids or
Iowa City, dying of cancer the day before
his 51st birthday. In addition to the
American Gothic House in Eldon, sites in
Iowa connected with his life and works
include the Grant Wood Gallery and Visitor

Still, at the beginning it was shocking,
Larrain said.
It was also, he notes, different from how
Jackie Kennedy sounded in other circumstances. She had a public voice and a private
voice, which Portman was able to study
through Kennedys recorded interviews with
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
The film Jackie, out in limited release
Friday, explores the nuances of these public
and private sides of the enigmatic figure in
the immediate aftermath of the assassination
of her husband in 1963 as she plans the
funeral, exits her home, comforts her children and tends to her husbands legacy.
Its what compelled screenwriter Noah
Oppenheim to make her the subject of his
first script.
Most often she is perceived through the

The more complicated view of the mysterious Kennedy is inspired partly by the revelatory private interviews conducted by Arthur

cinated by their marriage and his infidelities.


But I didnt feel like she had ever gotten
enough credit for understanding intuitively
the power of television, the power of
imagery and iconography and her role in
defining how we remember her husbands
presidency, Oppenheim said.
It was she, a week after the assassination,
in an interview with Theodore H. White for
LIFE magazine, who first uttered the word
Camelot in reference to their time in power.
I always assumed that the Kennedy administration had been referred to as Camelot
from the beginning, that they were this
young, handsome couple and American royalty, Oppenheim said. The fact that she
came up with Camelot is incredible. That one
reference accomplishes more than any list of
policy accomplishments ever could have in
terms of cementing in peoples minds who
Jack Kennedy was.
The film, however, isnt out to provide
answers. It relishes in Jackie being this
inscrutable figure, showing the subtle differences in her interactions with the people
around her, including a priest (John Hurt), the
journalist (Billy Crudup), her longtime friend

Nancy Tuckerman (Greta Gerwig) and Bobby


Kennedy (Peter Sarsgaard).
(Oppenheim) told her story through these
different relationships and the different roles
she played around the people in her life at different times. I think thats really powerful ...
Consistency or arc is really a narrative fiction. Human beings are not like that, said
Portman, who is earning some of the best
reviews of her career for her performance.
Larrain wouldnt do the film without
Portman. The script had been around since
2010 before getting the attention of Darren
Aronofsky, who was set to direct his thenfianc Rachel Weisz in the role. After exiting, Aronofsky stayed on to produce and was
the one who made the somewhat unconventional ask of Larrain, a Chilean filmmaker,
to consider it.
When Portman met with Larrain, she said it
was akin to being dared to do the film.
He was like, were going to do this
together or well both walk away, she said.
I was like all right, this is good. Lets take
each others hands and jump.
The tone, thanks to studied editing of
Sebastian Sepulveda and a striking score by

Mica Levi, can sometimes seem more like a


psychological thriller than a conventional
character study. Larrain delights in the beauty of bringing an audience to that indeterminate place.
Portman, on the other hand, knows shes at
the disposal of her directors and often isnt
aware of the exact tone until she sees the finished product.
When we were making Black Swan, I
thought I was making a completely different
movie from the one I saw. I thought we were
making something almost like a documentary and then I saw it and I was like What?
What is this!? I literally had no idea, she
said. I thought it was like a realistic portrait
of a psychological breakdown of a person
and it was not at all. You can totally misunderstand tone, but still it can work.
The film, heavy with historical and emotional significance, did allow for some levity, though, compliments of that White
House Tour.
We enjoyed that so much, Larrain said.
It was just talking about furniture and
chairs. And she would even make the same
mistakes Jackie did.

score, is always there between persona and


person. Were the beautiful people, right?
she sarcastically quips. Exiting Air Force
One, she deadpans to her husband (Caspar
Phillipson), I love crowds. In Larrains
hands, Kennedys pained public performance
is a kind of sacrifice. Jackie is at once a
deconstruction of the Jackie Kennedy fable
and a dramatization of its making.

White House, her pink suit bloodied from the


shooting, is an unshakable image that feels
straight out of Kubrick.
And then theres Kennedy stomping
through rainy Arlington, her heels digging
into the wet ground. Seeking a spot for what
will be the Eternal Flame, she is, through
force of will, staking a plot in history for her
husband. Have you read what theyve been
writing? she first greets the reporter. Its
no way to be remembered.
Portmans Kennedy is, from the start,
probably thornier and more uneasy than the
woman ever was. Portman and Larrain have
sharpened her and superimposed her story on
a rigorously crafted but resolutely cold surface. Jackie, though endlessly fascinating,
can feel like a character study conducted on a
surgical table.
Larrain, the talented Chilean filmmaker of
the Oscar-nominated No whose equally
complex Neruda is also out soon, is inter-

ested in dissecting Kennedy but not solving


her. Ill settle for a story thats believable,
says Crudups reporter. The truth, Kennedy
says, is out of reach.

Penned by Noah Oppenheim (The Maze


Runner), Jackie evades the traditional
biopic format like a disease. Its organized
around the Hyannis Port interview with
flashbacks to events large and small before
the assassination, during it and after. Many
of the scenes, quiet and empty, are shot less
like flashbacks than like Kennedys own
splintered, haunted memories.
Some, like her televised White House tour
(recreated with black-and-white precision),
are familiar. Others are strikingly surreal.
Kennedy silently marching through a vacant

What is within the grasp of Jackie


aside from a compelling, intricate performance from a fully committed Portman is a
sense of how difficult it may have been for
Kennedy to make things look so easy. With
preternatural poise, she served as a bulwark
of decorum and order against the chaos of the
times. Its chilling now to hear the advice of
Kennedy family friend William Walton (the
great Richard E. Grant) after Lee Harvey
Oswald is gunned down. He tells Kennedy to
take the kids to Boston and build a fortress.
The worlds gone mad, Mrs. Kennedy.
Jackie, a Fox Searchlight release, is
rated R by the Motion Picture Association of
America for brief strong violence and some
language. Running time: 100 minutes.
Three stars out of four.

La La Land named best film by New York critics


Gosling and Stone on
La La Land and their
on-screen romances
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Bogart and Bacall. Tracy and Hepburn. Stone


and Gosling.
The hugely charming Los Angeles musical La La Land
seals it: Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling have entered the ranks
of great cinematic couples. Their easy rapport together was
first hinted at with Crazy, Stupid, Love, and carried through
the crime drama Gangster Squad.
Those, though, were only appetizers to Damien Chazelles
La La Land, in which they star as two flailing aspirants trying to make it in LA. Stone plays an actress, Gosling a jazz
pianist. They sing. They dance. They patter like Cary Grant
and Katharine Hepburn.
La La Land, a resurrection of joyful 1930s studio musicals
on contemporary LA streets, is an impassioned argument for
the movies, in all their widescreen glory. And part of that vintage Hollywood experience includes big ol movie stars.
In an era that has struggled to produce them, Stone and
Gosling stand apart as two of our best answers. In La La
Land, theyre our version of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers,
maybe not quite as light on their feet (who is?), but more natural and funnier.
How far will they push their on-screen chemistry? Do you
think people would let us do anything together again? Stone
asked her co-star during an interview earlier this fall. I dont
think wed be allowed.
After greeting warmly (Gosling had been shooting Blade
Runner 2049), the actors sat down to reflect on why they go
so well together, their own tortured paths to Hollywood success and just how deep their movie love runs.
AP: Di d ei ther o f y o u hes i tate abo ut wo rki ng
to g ether ag ai n?
STONE: That was an exciting aspect that it was our third
thing together. The characters also have by the end five years
between them and I think wed probably known each other
that long by that point. Its kind of nice to not have to find
that when the story depends so much on the connection
between the two of them.
AP: Di d y o u feel a co nnecti o n ri g ht away o n y o ur
fi rs t fi l m to g ether?
GOSLING: Weve been asked to improvise a lot in the
films that weve done together. I think even in our first audition we were asked to improvise. That just kind of connects
actors in a way that just saying dialogue doesnt do.
AP: The fi l m po rtray s s o me s o ul -crus hi ng audi ti o ns . Were they fami l i ar?
STONE: The first audition was inspired by Ryans story.
GOSLING: Yeah, where I had to cry and this lady took a
call in the middle of it. And then just told me to go on, Pick
up where I left off. That was part of what was great about making this film was Damien encouraged us to bring our experiences to these characters.
AP: Ho w do y o u feel abo ut bei ng a part o f pro udl y bi g -s creen fi l m l i ke La La Land at a ti me when
tel ev i s i o n i s s een as ecl i ps i ng the mo v i es ?
STONE: I dont think films are less than TV now, but there
are some amazing characters on TV, so I understand why people want to do TV. When movies are at their full glory, I think
its pretty mind-blowing. What do you think, Ry?
GOSLING: When I first met with Damien, it wasnt about
this. It was just kind of a general meeting. He has a very infectious love of movies but also of the experience of going to
the movies. He talked a lot about wanting to make movies
that you couldnt watch on your iPhone, that you really wanted to see in a theater with an audience.
AP: Yo ur l o v e o f mo v i es s eems cl ear, s i nce y o uv e
prev i o us l y ackno wl edg ed s tuffi ng DVDs do wn y o ur
pants .
STONE: You put DVDs down your pants?!
GOSLING: (laughing) VHS. Look, in these kinds of situations, youre encouraged to say anything. And its celebrated.
And then you pay the price for that later.
STONE: Was it to be closer to your favorite movie?
GOSLING: No. It was one story a long time ago where I
had to hide an R-rated movie from my parents. It was very
intimate. This is the danger of this kind of thing that you do
because it haunts us.
AP: Wel l , i ts a v ery v i v i d ex ampl e o f mo v i e
l o v e.
GOSLING: I do love movies but I love making them more.
Ive never found something professionally that engages me
as much as that. You work with such a large group of people
and its this constant problem solving process that gets you
to this end, whatever that is. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. Its always a crapshoot.
STONE: For me, watching movies is what makes me want
to make movies. Im so inspired by watching movies. The
process of making it is engaging but I get so reinvigorated
every time I see a great movie. Then I feel like Im the character in the movie for the rest of the day. Then I realize I cant
play that same character I just watched.

NEW YORK Damien Chazelles


Los Angeles musical La La Land was
named best film of the year by the
New York Film Critics Circle.
The group announced their picks
Thursday on Twitter, spreading around
their awards to a variety of Oscar contenders. The top award came as something of a twist after the critics early
choices leaned toward Barry Jenkins
coming-of-age portrait Moonlight
and Kenneth Lonergans grief-filled
drama Manchester by the Sea.
Moonlight won awards for best
director (Jenkins), best cinematography (James Laxton) and best supporting
actor
(Mahershala
Ali).
Manchester by the Sea took best
actor for Casey Affleck, best screenplay for Lonergan and best supporting actress for Michelle Williams.
Williams was honored jointly for her
performances in Manchester by the
Sea and Kelly Reichardts Certain
Women.
Best film was the sole award for La
La Land, which opens next week.
Chazelles film, starring Emma Stone
and Ryan Gosling, also led the
Critics Choice Awards nominations
on Thursday with 12 nods.
Those three films La La Land,
Moonlight and Manchester by the

choices in the early going of

WEEKEND JOURNAL

Weekend Dec. 3-4, 2016

ART
Continued from page 1
have coordinated their schedules in the
month of December.
Cindy Stokes, a Redwood City photographer, said the holidays have typically been
a popular time for artists to hold open studios, but efforts in previous years were disorganized. Just following the last years
holiday season, she and other artists wondered if they could coordinate their efforts to
increase attendance across the community.
We said, Why dont we coordinate our
open studios? That way, we can cross-promote our work, she said.
Stokes is part of a community of artists
organized by ARTS RWC, that has an aim to
advance Redwood City as a destination for
the arts.
Chaired by Beth Mostovoy, a Redwood
City photographer, ARTS RWC has partnered with Redwood Citys Parks,
Recreation and Community Services
Department, the Civic Cultural Commission
and the Public Arts Task Force on this event.
The group has been successful with collaborations in the past, working with these
groups to coordinate Redwood Citys Art on
the Square program, which brought artists
to Courthouse Square four times during the
summer and once in November this year.
Mostovoy is working toward making
Redwood City the arts and entertainment
capital of the Peninsula, and sees power in
numbers as essential to this goal.
The art reads like a tapestry throughout
the community. We are co-creating this
beauty together, she said.
Along with four other artists, Mostovoy
will showcase her print photography at her
home, one of the Open Studios sites.
Chris Beth, Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department director,
shares this enthusiasm for creating what he
calls a cultural renaissance in Redwood City.
We have a culture of collaboration in
Redwood City, groups that work really well
together. We do lots of events to activate
the downtown and gather artists into a community, he said.
Beth cites a utility box mural program, an
increased number of approved murals on
buildings, sculptures in public areas and the
development of a public art master vision as
strides the city has made under the leadership of ARTS RWC.
Elevating the arts profile is also a priority for Rebecca Bangs, president of the Art
Center of Redwood City and San Carlos,
another Open Studio site. A San Carlos resident, Bangs has been working in contemporary pointillism for the last three years, and
will be showcasing her paintings along
with 26 other artists at the Art Center.
A lot of people see art as a luxury, and we
think it would be great to shift the culture so
that it is more mainstream, she said.
Standing in the natural light streaming
into her shared studio at the Arts Center and
surrounded by the bold color of her paint-

ings, Bangs discussed the importance of an
arts community in her path toward dedicating time to her passion for painting.
I always wanted to be an artist. I trained
to be an artist, went to school to be one. But
I got knocked down too many times, she
said.

Shared spaces
For Bangs, one of the joys of participating in an open studio is meeting people who
have felt similarly stifled in pursuing their
artistic interests.
You see many people who feel theyre
not creative when they are. Or they are
working in their garages, on the side, she
said.
The Open Studios offers individuals a
chance to ask artists about their process and
get a glimpse of the spaces where they
work. Kari Zinser, who also has a studio
space at the Arts Center, looks forward to
open studios as a way of gaining visibility
in the community.
You dont often have people come and
buy your art right away, she said. But they
might come back and ask for a commission
later.
Zinser is a Belmont-based artist who uses
acrylic ink and paint to create wall paintings with what she calls abstract fractal
creatures. She once received a call from an
interior designer asking her to create pieces
for a client. The designer had seen her work
at a previous open studios event, took a
photo and showed it to a client, who requested a commission of her work.
You never know whats going to happen
at one of these, she said.

Opening a dialogue
For other artists, the Open Studios event
opens a dialogue with their work that
unlocks meaning that cannot be conveyed
through online stores. Shirley Bunger, a
Redwood City-based artist, repurposes older
materials to create new stories through her
art. She collects postcards, photos and
mementos to create different types of collages, all of which tell stories. One of
Bungers more recently completed projects
is a quilt of recipe cards she purchased at an
estate sale.
Because of the intricacy of this work, its
important for people to see it and understand
the story behind it. Its only then that they
can see themselves in it, she said.
It seems for many of the artists presenting
their work this weekend, the chance to have
conversations about art is why they invite
others into their studios.
Even though Im an introvert, I feel
charged when Im talking about art, said
Bangs.

CITY OF SAN BRUNO


NOTICE OF RESOLUTION ADOPTION
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City
of San Bruno, California (the City) at its regular meeting on,
Tuesday, December 13, 2016, at the Senior Center starting at
7:00 p.m., 1555 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno, will consider a resolution adopting affordable housing impact fees for
residential developments and commercial linkage fees for nonresidential developments. The fees initiated by this resolution
are reasonably related to the need for affordable housing associated with development projects in the City of San Bruno.
The proposed resolution will implement an ordinance adopted
by the City Council on November 22, 2016 amending and replacing Chapter 12.230 of Title 12 (Land Use) of the San Bruno Municipal Code to establish an affordable housing program
and affordable housing impact fees for new residential and
nonresidential development projects in San Bruno.
The adoption of the resolution is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act because the resolution creates a governmental funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to a specific project that may result in a
potentially significant effect on the environment. (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)
A copy of the proposed fees and data regarding the need for
affordable housing associated with development in San Bruno,
including the cost of affordable housing and funds available to
provide affordable housing, is available for review at the office
of the City Clerk, 567 El Camino Real, San Bruno, California
94066. Written comments may be sent to the City Clerk at the
same address. Further information may be obtained from Mark
Sullivan,
phone
(650)
616-7053,
e-mail
msullivan@sanbruno.ca.gov.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that if you challenge the adoption of
the resolution in court, you may be limited to raising only those
issues you or someone else raised at public hearings before
the City of San Bruno or in written correspondence delivered
to the City of San Bruno at, or prior to, the public hearing.
The public is invited to attend the hearing and comment. Disabled persons requiring accommodation in order to participate
in the public hearing may contact the City Clerks Office at
(650) 616-7058. TDD users may contact the California Relay
Service at: 1 (800) 735-2929.

Libyas Tripoli has worst militias clashes in two years


By Rami Musa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Fighters of Libyan forces gather in Ghiza Bahriya district in Sirte.

BENGHAZI, Libya Clashes continued for the second


day among heavily-armed militias in the Libyan capital
Tripoli, vying for power and control over the city, with one
dislodging another in at least two posts, a five-star hotel
and a barracks, in what appears to be the worst outbreak of
violence the city has seen in two years.
Competing militias have chopped Tripoli up into fiefdoms and power centers after longtime dictator Moammar
Gadhafi, Libyas ruler for 42 years, was ousted and killed in
an uprising in 2011.They maintain what observers describe
as a balance of terror.
Witnesses in Tripoli said Friday that gun battles rocked
the southeastern Nasr Forest district and adjacent neighborhoods as residents were advised by a local emergency body
affiliated with the Interior Ministry to remain home and
away from windows. The clashes started Thursday and have
reportedly killed at least eight, according to state news
agency LANA. During a lull in the violence late Thursday
night, panicked residents could be seen lining up outside
gas stations to stock up on fuel.
In a statement Friday, U.N. Envoy to Libya Martin Kobler
called for halt to the fighting, saying he is extremely
alarmed.
Its completely unacceptable for armed groups to fight to
assert their interest and control, particularly in residential
areas, terrorizing the population, he said.
Reached by phone, a female resident in Tripoli told the
Associated Press that families had locked themselves in
their homes.
We havent slept all night and we havent left the house
since yesterday. All we are hearing is screaming, bombings
and gunfire, she said, the security situation is going from
bad to worse.
We just want the militias to leave, she pleaded.
The U. N. -brokered unity governments spokesman
Ashraf al-Tulty said that a ceasefire agreement has been
reached among warring militias but revealed no further
details. Given the fluidity of the situation, it remains to be
seen whether the victors of the clashes will back the internationally-recognized body.
This is a struggle over power. Each of the warring parties
has its political and ideological agendas, said Sami alAtrash, a Tripoli resident and a legal expert. The clashes
are belated. They expected at any moment and finally happened, he said.
In March of this year, the prime minister of the unity
government, Fayez Sarraj, arrived quietly by boat to Tripoli
from Tunisia. Militias in control of the capital showed no
resistance.

PhilippinesPresident
Duterte calls Trump
By Jim Gomez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANILA, Philippines Philippine President Rodrigo


Duterte called U.S. President-elect Donald Trump late Friday
and had a brief but very engaging, animated conversation in which both leaders invited each other to visit his country.
In a video released by Dutertes close
aide, Bong Go, the Philippine leader is
seen smiling while talking to Trump and
saying: We will maintain . . . and
enhance the bilateral ties between our
two countries.
Rodrigo
Duterte shuffled and looked at some
Duterte
notes during the conversation, which Go
said lasted for more than seven minutes. The presidential
palace earlier announced that Duterte will make a congratulatory call to Trump from his hometown in southern
Davao city.
It was not immediately clear if the touchy topic of
Dutertes bloody crackdown against illegal drugs came up
during the chat. Duterte has lashed out at outgoing President
Barack Obama and the State Department for raising concerns over the crackdown, which has left more than 4,000
suspected drug dealers and users dead.
Duterte, who took office in June, has been antagonistic to
the U.S., his countrys treaty ally, while reaching out to
China and Russia. He has met Chinese President Xi Jinping
twice and Russian leader Vladimir Putin once.
Obama canceled what could have been their first formal
meeting in an Asian summit in Laos in September after
Duterte unleashed an expletive-laden warning for the U.S.
leader not to lecture him on human rights.
During their talk, Trump invited Duterte to visit the White
House next year and Duterte asked the U.S. president-elect
to attend an East Asian summit to be hosted by the
Philippines next year.
