Technology and poetry are colliding
at one Burlingame elementary school.
Christy Novack and Julie Jancs
third grade class at Roosevelt
Elementary School just embarked on a
new project to spread poetry through
QR codes those little black square
barcodes you see all over the place
that they will place in the community.
Now when community members pass
the codes, they can scan the work with
their smartphones and capture the
poem. This year, all of the students at
the school have been asked to make
their mark in the community.
We want to make sure kids under-
stand using technology is not some-
thing you take and use alone, said
Roosevelt Principal Matthew Pavao.
Its an artistic way of using technolo-
gy on site.
Using iPads and the app Haiku Deck,
the students have created and illustrat-
ed original poems. The QR codes now
appear in windows of shops in the
city, including some on Broadway. The
school purchased 60 iPads last year
and the project began at the beginning
of this school year.
Teachers have used the new technol-
ogy as a tool to expand learning,
Pavao said.
With the new Common Core curricu-
lum, which shifts to more project-
based and team collaborative learning,
and more of an emphasis on students
using technology in classrooms,
Novack said its going to be more
important to use technology in cre-
ative and effective ways.
Its going to become more impor-
tant over the next couple years, she
said. The principal is very supportive

OKs15-acre
site project
Long-vacant site to become
senior housing, retail, offices
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Foster City reached a signicant milestone last night as
its council voted to sell and develop its long-vacant 15-acre
site at the citys center into senior housing and retail.
The site now known as Foster Square was once envisioned
to be home for a high school, but its new primary use will
be senior housing with 16 buildings, about 14 of which will
be made up of four-story buildings with 200 for-sale condos
and ground-oor parking garages. There will be one build-
ing with approximately 134 to 155 assisted living units
and another building with 66 affordable housing units. Both
are likely to be more than four stories, but can be no more

Man says Google Maps
image shows slain son
RICHMOND ASan Francisco Bay
Area man says a Google Maps satellite
image near a rail line shows the body of
his teenage son, who was shot and
killed in 2009.
Richard Barrea is asking the Internet
giant to take down the image out of
respect for his son, Kevin. The 14-
year-olds body was found on a path
near railroad tracks that separate North
Richmond from San Pablo on Aug. 15,
2009.
Richard Barrea told KTVU-TV over
the weekend the image brings back
memories of his sons death. He said he
became aware of it earlier in the week.
The image shows what appears to be
a body on the ground with several other
people, presumably investigators,
around it. It was up on Monday.
An e-mail to Google was not immedi-
ately returned.
Kevins slaying remains unsolved.
California student
earns perfect score on exam
LOS ANGELES More than
104,000 students worldwide took the
Advanced Placement Calculus exam
this year. Only 11 got a perfect score.
California 17-year-old Nathan Chou is
one of them.
The Arcadia High School senior
learned of the rare achievement from
the College Board, the nonprot group
that oversees the AP tests.
Chou told the Los Angeles Times in a
story Sunday that he spent about four
hours studying for the calculus exam,
with help from class-made study guides
and practice tests.
That was helpful, Nathan said. But
I almost ran out of time on the multi-
ple-choice section. I was nervous that
my memory would suddenly blank out.
The test was offered in 59 countries
in the 2012-2013 school year. The 11
students who earned perfect scores are
all from the United States. At least two
other students in California earned per-
fect scores on the exam, said Deborah
Davis, the boards director of college
readiness communications.
CHP: Hotshot
firefighter runs over colleague
CAMPTONVILLE A wildre re-
ghter lying in a road was run over and
killed by a colleague in a sparely popu-
lated stretch of Northern California in a
bizarre early morning trafc incident
involving alcohol, authorities said
Monday.
California Highway Patrol investiga-
tors said a driver in Yuba County early
Saturday spotted a man, Michael
Patrick Kelly, 32, lying in the road
about 3 miles from Camptonville
which is about 80 miles north of
Sacramento.
The unidentied driver ashed his
high-beams in a failed attempt to warn
an approaching vehicle that it was on a
collision course with the man in the
road.
The small car with six passengers,
driven by Andrew Gruenberg, 26, struck
Kelly, who was pronounced dead at the
scene with head and torso injuries, the
CHP said.
Toxic waste declines
in California ocean area
LOS ANGELES The
Environmental Protection Agency has
suspended planned cleanup efforts at a
California site where industrial waste
on the ocean oor appears to be declin-
ing naturally.
Scientists are at a loss to explain the
rapid drop of toxic chemical levels
across the 17-square-mile site about
200 feet below the ocean surface and
two miles off the Los Angeles County
coast, the Los Angeles Times reported
Sunday.
Samples taken from sediment sug-
gest more than 100 metric tons of the
banned pesticide DDT and industrial
compounds known as PCBs have
dropped by nearly 90 percent in just
ve years.

The Peninsula Conict Resolution Center
will be hosting a workshop today to address
methods to combat bullying in schools and
at home by encouraging compassion and
understanding.
Beyond Bullying Behaviors: Promoting
Empathy and Respect Among Youth will be
held today from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in
Redwood City.
PCRC provides mediation services and
hosts a variety of community-based work-
shops to educate people of all ages on non-
adversarial problem solving techniques.
Our mission is to foster collaborative
engagement by bringing people together,
facilitating conversations and to build these
skills in our community, said Sara
Randazzo, director of communications and
training services for PCRC.
PCRC offers services to families, schools,
businesses and individuals throughout San
Mateo County. After receiving many requests
for seminars related to bullying, the PCRC
decided to open up this particular workshop
to the public, Randazzo said.
We have an afnity for schools and young
people. For a number of years, weve really
been at the forefront of addressing bullying
type behavior to help young people
address conict in a different way, said
Michelle Vilchez, executive director of
PCRC.
Bullying is a long-standing issue, but
theres been an increase in attention due to
the high number of school-related suicides
and deaths throughout the nation, Randazzo
said.
Students should feel safe at school in an
environment that fosters open dialogue and
respect. Bullying distracts from a students
ability to focus on their education.
We know that emotional well-being and
health, all of those things play into a stu-
dents ability to learn, Randazzo said.
Combating bullying means not only
teaching them about conict resolution, its
about providing youth with an opportunity
to show compassion and respect to each
other, Vilchez said. Its very important to
teach young people that there doesnt have
to be a victim and an aggressor while address-
ing conict, Vilchez said.
Todays meeting is geared toward teachers,
parents, service providers and adults who
work or have regular contact with young peo-
ple. High school students from a local peer
mediators group who work with elementary
and middle school students may also partici-
pate.
Teaching people how to see beyond the
appearance of bullying and get at the core
root of why a person acts out is critical.
Children need adults or peers that they feel
comfortable opening up to, Randazzo said.
Educating students and children about the
importance of being empathetic and respect-
ing one another will deter bullying and foster
environments for youth to support one
another, she added.
Trainers John Yap and Aida Negron will be
facilitating the meeting. Yap is the director
of empowering youth initiative at PCRC and
has a background in social work, Randazzo
said. Negron has a background in public
health and experience in working with par-
ents and families as well as providing spaces
for parents and families to talk about bully-
ing.
PCRC does not place blame on the
aggressor. We take into consideration the
experience of everyone impacted. Many
times bullying behavior may be viewed as
normal by the aggressor and is based on an
unmet need, Negron wrote in an email.
Providing a space for all parties involved
in bullying to ask each other questions in a
safe environment will help people see
beyond the appearance of an action and get at
the core of the problem, Randazzo said.
PCRC tries and make sure everyone is given
an opportunity to be heard and trainers facil-
itate to ensure those involved stay on a track,
Randazzo said.
We believe differences are assets. When
there are different perspectives at the table
you get more lasting solutions to whatever
conict youre trying to address, Randazzo
said.
Workshop attendees will have time to dis-
cuss their individual experiences and relay
techniques theyve found useful, Randazzo
said.
We believe that through information and
education, people can have the ability to
grow and advocate for themselves,
Randazzo said.
Beyond Bullying Behaviors: Promoting
Empathy and Respect Among Youth is being
held at the San Mateo County Ofce of
Education at 101 Twin Dolphin Drive in
Redwood City. Registration is $50 per par-
ticipant. For more information about PCRC

BART, unions meet over
contract provision dispute
Bay Area Rapid Transit ofcials
and its two largest unions were
meeting on Monday to go over the
agencys estimates of how much a
disputed contract provision would
cost.
BART and the unions, SEIU
Local 1021 and ATU Local 1555,
did not plan to hold negotiations
over the provision. Instead, the
meeting was to focus on BARTs
accounting.
At issue is a medical leave provi-
sion that BART says was erro-
neously included in the contract
language by an unnamed tempo-
rary employee in July. The agency
says it could cost $44 million
over the four-year life of the tenta-
tive contract deal. That deal was
reached last month and ended a
second transit strike.
BART wants the unions to rene-
gotiate that provision.
BARTs board is set to vote on
the contract on Thursday.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON As Hillary
Rodham Clinton privately weighs a
second White House run, pieces of
the Democratic establishment are
beginning to fall into place pub-
licly to help her possible candida-
cy.
Several super political action
committees are collectively acting
as an early de facto campaign
organization to ensure Clinton is
ready to compete vigorously if she
decides to try again to become the
rst female president.
Theyre building a network with-
out her direct consent. But shes not
objecting either, and some
Democrats are interpreting that as
encouragement to push forward in
anticipation of a campaign.
Theres a lot of energy out there
and it would be a mistake not to
channel and use it as an opportuni-
ty to organize, said Craig Smith,
an adviser to Ready for Hillary.
The super PAC American Bridge
21st Century has launched Correct
the Record, a group staffed by for-
mer Clinton aides who intend to
defend the former secretary of state
and other potential 2016 candidates
against Republican critics.
Priorities USA Action, which ran
searing ads against rivals of
President Barack Obama to support
his re-election, is discussing bring-
ing onboard a former White House
chief of staff under her husband.
Ready for Hillary, formed after
the 2012 elections, is working to
keep grass-roots supporters around
the country energized. And EMILYs
List, a group that has 3 million
members and supports women can-
didates who back abortion rights,
has been holding forums promot-
ing the need to elect the Americas
rst female president.
Democrats have highlighted
polls showing that Clinton would
be an early favorite for the partys
nomination if she sought the White
House again.
While this work goes on behind
the scenes, Clinton has been stay-
ing in the public eye by traveling
the country to speak before trade
groups and to party supporters. She
also plans to release a book next
year about her time at the State
Department, giving her a platform
to tour the nation before the 2014
midterm elections.
On Tuesday, American Bridge
and the liberal-leaning Media
Matters plan to hold a daylong
conference on in San Francisco,
where about 80 prospective donors
and financial backers will hear
from Smith, former Vice President
Al Gore and Democratic strategists
James Carville and Paul Begala,
longtime advisers to former
President Bill Clinton. Carville
has promoted a potential Hillary
Clinton candidacy, and Begala is a
consultant to Priorities USA
Action.
An organizer of the San
Francisco conference is Susie
Tompkins Buell, a co-founder of the
Esprit clothing company and a
longtime friend of the Clintons
who is also a nance co-chair of
Ready for Hillary.

CalPERS loses round in San
Bernardino bankruptcy fight
RIVERSIDE Californias biggest public pension sys-
tem has lost its appeal of the ruling that allowed the city of
San Bernardino to le for bankruptcy.
The San Bernardino Sun reports a bankruptcy judge reject-
ed the request by the California Public Employees
Retirement System to challenge the citys bankruptcy eligi-
bility at the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Fridays decision is the latest round in the bankruptcy bat-
tle between the cash-strapped city and CalPERS. The city
owes the pension fund $14 million in overdue payments.
Last month the San Bernardino City Council adopted a
tentative plan to deal with all its creditors, including
CalPERS.

Girlfriend says Zimmerman pointed shotgun at her
APOPKA, Fla. George Zimmerman was charged with
assault Monday after his girlfriend called deputies to the home
where they were living and claimed he
pointed a shotgun at her during an argu-
ment, authorities said. The girlfriend,
Samantha Scheibe, called 911 in the early
afternoon to say that Zimmerman had
smashed a glass table, threatened her with
the shotgun and ultimately pushed her out
of the house, according to an arrest report.
After pushing her out, Zimmerman barri-
caded the door with furniture and refused to
leave, saying that he would talk to police
by phone, authorities said.
The arrest was the latest legal problem for Zimmerman since
he was acquitted last summer of criminal charges in the fatal
shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen. The trial
stoked a discussion on racial proling across the country.
You point your gun at my fricking face, Samantha Scheibe
is heard telling Zimmerman on a 911 call. Get out of my
house. Do not push me out of my house. Please get out of my
house.

The following
information is to
address common
concerns about the
Reverse Mortgage
product.
We do NOT take
your home.
You and your
estate will continue to retain ownership
and the title to your home.
Your heirs will NOT be responsible for
the repayment of the debt.
The reverse mortgage is a non-recourse
loan. This means that Security 1 Lend-
ing can only receive payment from the
proceeds of the sale of the property.
Any balance owed above and beyond
will be covered by the mortgage
insurance premium that was paid to
HUD during the course of having the
reverse mortgage.
You do NOT have to make monthly
payments on your Reverse Mortgage.
We are in the business of helping you
keep your home and meet any fnancial
needs you may have to maintain
fnancial independence. You may remain
in your home as long as you wish.
However, at any time you decide to sell
your home, the outstanding balance
would need to then be repaid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Below is a list of Frequently Asked
Questions by category.
Do I have to own my home free and clear
to qualify?
You can payoff your existing mortgage
with the proceeds from the reverse
mortgage. Many people get a reverse
mortgage to eliminate their monthly
payments permanently.
If something happens to me, can my
spouse continue to receive the benefts
from a Reverse Mortgage?
Yes they can. As long as you were joint
borrowers on the application for Reverse
Mortgage and your spouse wants to
remain in the home.
Can I still leave my home to my kids?
Yes you can leave your home to your
heirs. Your home will always remain
your home. You may leave it to whom-
ever you wish. When you pass away your
heirs will have options for paying off the
loan. After the debt is repaid, any
remaining equity (if they choose to sell
it) will go to your heirs.

Choice?

homeowner with an educational and
informative reverse mortgage experi-
ence. The complete process is a no
pressure, ethical and honest relationship

Myths & Misconceptions of Reverse Mortgages

WASHINGTON, Ill. When a
cluster of violent thunderstorms
began marching across the
Midwest, forecasters were able to
draw a bright line on a map show-
ing where the worst of the weather
would go.
Their uncannily accurate predic-
tions combined with television
and radio warnings, text-message
alerts and storm sirens almost
certainly saved lives as rare late-
season tornadoes dropped out of a
dark autumn sky. Although the
storms howled through 12 states
and flattened entire neighbor-
hoods within a matter of minutes,
the number of dead stood at just
eight.
By Monday, another, more pro-
saic reason for the relatively low
death toll also came to light: In
the hardest-hit town, many fami-
lies were in church.
I dont think we had one church
damaged, said Gary Manier,
mayor of Washington, Ill., a com-
munity of 16,000 about 140 miles
southwest of Chicago.
The tornado cut a path about an
eighth of a mile wide from one
side of Washington to the other
and damaged or destroyed as many
as 500 homes. The heavy weather
also battered parts of Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri,
Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky,
Tennessee, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and western New
York.
Back in Washington, Daniel
Bennett was officiating Sunday
services before 600 to 700 people
when he heard an electronic warn-
ing tone. Then another. And
another.
Id say probably two dozen
phones started going off in the
service, and everybody started
looking down, he said.
What they saw was a text mes-
sage from the National Weather
Service cautioning that a twister
was in the area. Bennett stopped
the service and ushered everyone
to a safe place until the threat
passed.
A day later, many townspeople
said those messages helped mini-
mize deaths and injuries.
Thats got to be connected,
Bennett said. The ability to get
instant information.
In Indiana, Taylor Glenna heard
emergency sirens go off and
received an alert on his cellphone.
A friend also called to warn him
the storm was nearly upon him.
Glenna went outside, saw hail
and heard a loud boom. He ran to
his basement just in time.
On Monday, he was surveying
the damage on crutches after suf-
fering a leg injury when the wind
knocked his home off its founda-
tion.
I would say we had pretty good
warning, Glenna said. We just
didnt listen to it.
Forecasting has steadily
improved with the arrival of
faster, more powerful computers.
Scientists are now better able to
replicate atmospheric processes
into mathematical equations.
In the last decade alone, fore-
casters have doubled the number of
days in advance that weather
experts can anticipate major
storms, said Bill Bunting of the
National Weather Service.
But Bunting, forecast opera-
tions chief of the services Storm
Prediction Center in Norman,
Okla. said it was not until Saturday
that the atmospheric instability
that turns smaller storm system
into larger, more menacing ones
came into focus.
Thats when information from
weather stations, weather bal-
loons, satellite imagery and radar
suggested there was plenty of
moisture fuel for storms
making its way northeast from the
Gulf of Mexico.

White House pushes to

People help a man injured when Libyan militiamen opened
re into a crowd of protesters in Tripoli, Libya.
Libyan army deploys in
capital against militias
By Esam Mohamed and Maggie Michael
TRIPOLI, Libya Libyas military swept into the capital
Monday with dozens of pickup trucks mounted with anti-air-
craft guns in an operation to drive out militiamen, met by a
warm welcome from Libyans seething with anger against the
numerous armed groups running rampant in the country.
Libya is seeing its strongest public uproar yet against mili-
tias, which have fueled lawlessness nationwide since the
2011 fall of longtime leader Moammar Gadha. The heavily
armed groups, some of them led by Islamic extremist com-
manders, have deed control by the weak central govern-
ment, carving out efdoms, acting as a law unto themselves,
and imposing their control.
But the move to rein in militias risks detonating an explo-
sive backlash leading to outright battles between rival mili-
tias. Since many of the militias are rooted in specic cities
and act as arms of political groups, any violence could pit
city against city in this already fragmented nation.

TORONTO Amid cries of Shame!
Shame! scandal-plagued Toronto
Mayor Rob Ford was stripped of the last
of his meaningful powers Monday after
a heated City Council debate in which
he argued with members of the public,
charged hecklers and knocked a council-
woman down.
Ford called the move a coup detat
and vowed an outright war in next
years mayoral election.
Whats happening here today is not
a democratic process, its a dictatorship
process, the 44-year-old mayor
declared.
The council lacks the power to
remove Ford from ofce unless he is
convicted of a crime. Instead, members
sought the strongest recourse available
after recent revelations that Ford
smoked crack cocaine and his repeated
outbursts of erratic
behavior.
The council voted
overwhelmingly in
favor of slashing
Fords ofce budget
by 60 percent and
allowing his staff to
move to the deputy
mayor, who now
takes on many of
the mayors former powers. Ford now
effectively has no legislative power and
no longer chairs the executive commit-
tee, although he retains his title and
ability to represent Toronto at ofcial
functions.
The debate became raucous after Ford
paced around the council chamber and
traded barbs with members of the pub-
lic. The speaker asked security to clear
the gallery and a recess was called, but
not before Ford barreled toward his
detractors, mowing into Councilor Pam
McConnell.
Another councilor asked Ford to
apologize. Ford said he was rushing to
the defense of his brother, Councilor
Doug Ford, and accidentally knocked
McConnell down.
I picked her up, he said. I ran
around because I thought my brother
was getting into an altercation.
Visibly shaken after Ford ran her
over, McConnell, a petite woman in her
60s, said she never expected the chaos
that broke out.
This is the seat of democracy. It is
not a football eld. I just wasnt ready.
Fortunately, the mayors staff was in
front. They stopped me from hitting my
head against the wall. I just need to sit
down, McConnell said.
The motion to strip Ford of his pow-
ers was revised from a tougher version
to ward off potential legal challenges
by letting Ford keep his title and repre-
sent the city at ofcial functions.
Toronto council strips mayor of powers
By Monika Scislowska
WARSAW, Poland The top U.N.
climate diplomat on Monday told the
coal industry it should leave most of
the worlds remaining coal reserves in
the ground and start investing in
renewable energy sources.
Speaking at a coal summit on the
sidelines of a U.N. climate conference
in Warsaw, Christiana Figueres said
the coal industry needs to change radi-
cally to help reduce the carbon emis-
sions that scientists say are warming
the planet.
The world is rising to meet the cli-
mate challenge as risks of inaction
mount, and it is in your best interest to
make coal part of the solution,
Figueres said.
The coal event was seen as a provo-
cation by climate activists, who used a
crane to reach the ministrys roof,
where they unfurled banners criticizing
Polands and the worlds reliance
on coal and other fossil fuels. Police
used another crane to take them down,
as panelists at the coal summit said
that the people in the room, not the
people on the roof, have the possibil-
ity to change the coal industry.
Coal industry ofcials at the event
didnt directly address her remarks but
said the world cannot do without coal
because in many countries its the only
available energy source.
Amajor aim of the summit has been
to encourage open and constructive
dialogue on the climate challenge
were not going to meet our climate
objectives if we are not all part of the
solution, the World Coal
Association, which organized the
event, said in a statement.
Polish Economy Minister Janusz
Piechocinski, whose country gener-
ates about 90 percent of its electricity
from coal, said: You cannot have a
low-emissions energy transformation
without talking about coal.
Coal accounts for less than 30 per-
cent of the worlds energy supply but
more than 40 percent of energy emis-
sions, according to the International
Energy Agency.

OPINION 9
Faulty minutiae everywhere
Editor,
Michelle Durands hilarious column
(Faulty minutiae, in the Nov. 14
edition of the Daily Journal) reminded
me of a funny incident in my family.
As you know, all non-U.S. citizens
are nger-printed when arriving in the
United States.
My parents, who fall in that catego-
ry, arrived for one of their many visits
a few years ago. I went to pick them
up at the airport and almost three
hours went by with no sign of them. I
assumed I had mistaken their ight for
the earlier of two ights by the same
airline that day and left for home. I
soon received a call from them saying
that they had just been cleared by
security to enter the United States.
It so happened that my mothers n-
gerprints were just not easy to get.
While all the attempts (lotion, scan,
repeat) were made, they were not
allowed to place any phone calls to
anyone waiting. Anyways, she was
asked to moisturize for several days
before arriving in the United States
the next time.

Obamacare reply
Editor,
What is scarier? That conservative
writers such as Harry Roussard
(Obamacare the laughing stock
in the Nov. 16 edition of the Daily
Journal) or Chuck McDougald (Who
is exempted from Obamacare in the
same edition) write their drivel about
Obamacare, or that they believe what
they write?
Letter writer Roussard writes the
wrong people are signing up the
old, sick and poor to get the bene-
ts. Yes, how dare we let those who
need it, use it? How dare we have the
well and better off take care of the less
fortunate? What were we thinking?
Columnist Chuck McDougald writes:
The purpose of Obamacare was never
to provide you with affordable health
care. The objective was to take over
your life. Oh really? Silly us, think-
ing the purpose of the Affordable Care
Act (based on a Republican model) is
to prevent outside forces such as
insurance companies, nancial insti-
tutions, emergency rooms et al, from
taking over our lives from lack of
good care.
Harry, Chuck, and others of your
ilk, here is news for you: Obamacare
is here to stay. Get over it. It will suc-
ceed because, at its base, Obamacare
has millions of people with meaning-
ful coverage they didnt have previ-
ously, and the old, sick and poor will
have care and dignity they need when
they need it. One nal request: How
about you do a truly patriotic thing
use your energy to make Obamacare a
better plan to the betterment of all
rather than ripping it at every oppor-
tunity. Obamacare, imperfect as it may
be, surely beats your alternative plan
(wait, you dont have one?), or the
plans we had previously (zero).

What good is
the presidents word?
Editor,
Sen. Dianne Feinstein is co-spon-
soring a bill to give people a choice
to keep their existing health insur-
ance plans. In other words, she is
attempting to pass a law which will
support exactly what President Obama
promised as he was promoting his
signature legislation. Senator
Feinstein understands the importance
of honesty. She is attempting to avert
an injustice to the nearly 1 million
Californians in the individual market
who received insurance cancellation
notices. Many of these policy holders
have discovered that the new and most
affordable plan is often more than
twice as expensive as their present
plan with an even higher deductible.
As someone who nds himself in
this exact situation, I can testify as to
the anger engendered when hearing
the president say over and over again,
if you like your present health insur-
ance plan, you can keep it. Period.
The president is now asking the insur-
ance companies to extend the can-
celled plans for one year. That is a far
cry from what he promised me and
other policy holders.
Please support Sen. Feinsteins
efforts by emailing or calling her
ofce today. President Obama, Sen.
Feinstein, Sen. Boxer and U.S. Rep.
Speier all made a promise they must
keep.

Obama cares
Editor,
In the United States, we have a wide
variety of ways to think about things.
We have people in jail cells who are
presumed to be innocent. Then we
have health insurance that is bought
and sold like a new car or a fur coat.
That is private health insurance. Any
attempt to change this is foolishly
called socialism, fascism, commu-
nism or a collection of scary words.
Medicare and Medicaid have served
this country well for almost 50 years.
If the Affordable Care Act (maliciously
referred to as Obamacare) were allowed
to work, it would help shore up and
strengthen these programs. People
have this choice or they can go back
to the Republican plan that lines the
pockets of health insurance compa-
nies, and keeps them rich. All while
the holders of these plans are basical-
ly taken advantage of. It is also help-
ful to deliberately sabotage others
when you dont agree with them. One
way to do this is by causing the web-
site people are using to keep failing.
When you think like this you are des-
tined to fail at what you would like to
achieve.

Obamas dilemma
Editor,
Obamacare equals friends without
benets. What happened to his con-
stituency that were going to be friends
with benets? What happened to best
friends forever?
Jack Kirkpatrick
Redwood City
Compromise
Editor,
As members of Congress resume
their debate over the federal budget,
the future of Social Security and
Medicare take center stage in their dis-
cussions.
Republicans charge that unless huge
cuts and revisions are made in benet s
being paid out by the two programs,
their funding will dry up in a few
years.
Democrats charge that under current
law, the federal government is com-
mitted to continuing those payments
to those now receiving them. Funding
for the two programs was provided by
taxes paid into the programs by those
now receiving those benets, with the
promise they would receive part of
them back for nancial security during
their years in retirement.
Acompromise between the two par-
ties could be reached if both changed
their rhetoric from I am right and you
are wrong to we are both right, let
us compromise and get the job done.
Compromise is a word of strength,
not of weakness. Many have been
made before, which have kept our
government strong and progressive.

When yes means no
N
o. No, no, no. When San Carlos Councilman Matt
Grocott started oating the idea of seeking a new
vote on the controversial Transit Village project,
the only word that went through my mind (not counting the
groaning sound, ugh) was no.
In the day or two after the 4-1 approval of a much-scaled
down project, Grocott said he was hesitant to vote at all and
felt the process was rushed. Makes sense. Heading into the
meeting, both he and Vice Mayor Mark Olbert said they
wanted to wait until after incoming councilman Cameron
Johnson was sworn in and able to chime in. Grocott also
wanted story poles and had a laundry list of unanswered
questions at the last council meeting.
So his solution is to vote yes and nearly immediately ask
for a do over?
The council has previously
traveled this ground, this fake turf
covered ground to be exact. Way
back in 2006, with Grocott still
on the council, the body capped
years of bickering over the use of
synthetic turf by voting for the
articial stuff at Tierra Linda and
Central middle schools and natu-
ral elds at Highlands Park and
Heather School. With the ink
barely dry on a marathon two-part
meeting, then-councilwoman
Inge Tiegel Doherty, who actually
ran for re-election earlier this month, sought a new poll on
Heather School. Doherty at the time said it was not a do
over but she would have voted differently with more infor-
mation.
Both sides wrinkled their nose at reopening the matter.
Direct from the residents I quoted at the time: a natural sod
proponent said the decision was made and I accept it. One
man compared the situation to a parent and child, telling
the council to make a decision and stick to it. Another urged
the council to begin the healing between the divided
sides. Another woman asked something pretty applicable
to the Transit Village situation why did the council both-
er to vote if members felt unprepared?
And Grocott? He was one of two minority councilmem-
bers who opposed reconsideration. He even said at the time
new consideration sent the message of revisiting contro-
versial facets like eld lights.
Why were revisiting this, I cant give you an answer,
Grocott said at the time.
Fast-forward seven years and Grocott is now on the other
side of the spectrum in regards to the mixed-use project
around the existing Caltrain station. This time he has an
answer the council barely talked amongst itself over the
course of two evenings, the vote was moving too fast, he
wanted to continue the discussion and he thought the rules
of order would only allow for reconsideration if he voted in
the afrmative.
In comparison to the turf war which included hours of
council discussion on top of public comment and presenta-
tions, the Transit Village vote came with little back and
forth on anything other than the below-market rate unit
component, he said.
Now, Grocott believes the zoning component of the vote
was an ordinance which requires a second reading sort of
a mandatory second vote anyway. If there are substantial
changes, the ordinance may need a new introduction, too,
he said.
Grocott might need that if he really does want to start
over because theres not guarantee a council majority will
agree. Even residents who long fought against the project
as proposed say the vote should stand, particularly as it was
for a much smaller project than they had even hoped for.
Bottom line, Grocotts yes means no answer was a way
to buy time but it feels like a twisted and covert way to get
there. Its also a worrisome precedent, especially when a
new vote could theoretically be made to accommodate the
installation of a new member who might change the bal-
ance of opinion. On the ip side, lets hope the process
wasnt rushed simply to ensure that the sitting member cast
a vote before the reorganization.
Acouncil is elected to make honest decisions and appar-
ently a majority felt it was ready to pull the trigger. Yet how
solid is a decision if multiple members say they still need
more information? Believe me, Im in no rush to spend
more nights sitting in the council chamber corner, hoping
a decision comes before the battery on my laptop dies and
the sun comes up. And just maybe Grocott and Olbert have
all the data they need whether they realize it or not. Maybe
they needed to stop beating around the bush and choose.
At least Olbert for his part voted no. Although I do under-
stand Grocotts reasoning, he should have done so, too. Or,
better yet, perhaps the others could have decided that if two
members arent ready, the council as a whole isnt ready. As
much as it pains me to say, when asked if anybody wanted
to make a motion, the answer should have been no.

NEW YORK The stock market
broke through two milestones Monday
before giving up nearly all its gains
late in the day.
Stocks rose from the opening bell,
lifting the Dow Jones industrial aver-
age above 16,000 for the rst time and
the Standard & Poors 500 index past
1,800, two big markers in a historic
bull market. But by the end of day, both
indexes had fallen below those levels.
The market is always a little hesitant
when it gets to round numbers, says Ed
Cowart, managing director at Eagle
Asset Management. You dont want to
be the rst guy buying at 16,000 on the
Dow.
The Dow managed to eke out a gain
over Fridays close with a late push
higher, ending just 24 points shy of
16,000. Both the Dow and the S&P500
are on track for their best year in a
decade and have soared more than 140
percent since bottoming out in the
Great Recession more than four years
ago.
Investors have pushed stocks up
sharply this year as the U.S. economy
improves, companies report record
prots and the Federal Reserve keeps up
its easy-money policies.
The Fed is still pumping money into
the system, which is helping fuel the
market, says Frank Fantozzi, CEO of
Planned Financial Services, a wealth
manager. Theres much more con-
dence in the market.
The Dow has risen for six weeks
straight and is up 22 percent so far this
year. The market hasnt risen that much
in a whole year since 2003.
The Dow has closed above round-
number milestones two times this year:
14,000 in early February and 15,000 in
early May. The quick climb has led
some experts to wonder whether stocks
are too high and set to tumble.
Brad McMillan, chief investment
ofcer for Commonwealth Financial,
says hes not worried yet, but notes
three ingredients of market froth are
already present: investors borrowing
record amounts to buy stock, more com-
panies going public for the rst time
and Main Street investors putting
money into the market after years of
pulling out.
Greed is taking over from fear,
McMillan says.
Its not clear whether stocks have
become expensive yet or are just fairly
priced. One measure of value, the ratio
of stock prices to forecast earnings, is
at 15 for S&P 500 companies. That is
slightly below the 15-year average of
16.2, according to FactSet, a data
provider.
Including this years gains, the S&P
500 is up 165 percent from the start of
the current bull market in March 2009,
56 months ago.
Bull markets dating back to the Great
Depression have averaged 57 months,
according to S&P Capital IQ, a research
rm, however the duration of bull mar-
kets has varied greatly over time. The
bull market of the 1990s lasted 113
months, for instance.
Investors have been betting that Fed
stimulus policies are not likely to
change soon. Janet Yellen, the nominee
to succeed Ben Bernanke as Fed chair-
man, indicated in congressional testi-
mony last week that she was prepared to
keep interest rates low to help the econ-
omy.
Investors were also encouraged by a
Chinese government announcement
late Friday that it plans to open state
industries to greater competition and
allow more foreign investment. Many
big U.S. companies have come to rely
on emerging markets like China to
boost revenue. About half of the rev-
enue in the S&P 500 comes outside the
U.S.

NEWYORK Is the stock market due for
a pullback?
The Dow Jones industrial average has
surged 900 points since early October and
crossed the 16,000-point threshold
Monday. IPOs are hot again. Small
investors, stirred from their post-recession
daze, are coming back to stocks. And its
been more than two years since the market
has had a signicant slump.
Those trends have raised concerns of a
stock bubble. They shouldnt, money man-
agers say, because even with the broader
markets 26 percent jump this year, stocks
arent overpriced yet.
Stocks are not cheap, but that does not
mean that the stock market is expensive,
says Russ Koesterich, chief investment
strategist with Blackrock.
The ratio of stock prices to projected prof-
its for companies in the Standard & Poors
500 index is 15, according to data from
FactSet. Thats slightly below the average
of 16.2 over the last 15 years and far below
the peak of 25 in late 1990s and early
2000s.
Underneath the rally, most of the funda-
mentals of this market remain solid.
Corporate prot margins are near historic
highs and prots are expected to keep ris-
ing. There are no signs the U.S. economy,
which is still recovering from the 2008
nancial crisis and Great Recession, will
slip back into a downturn.
All that leaves investors with conicting
feelings. Few see the stock market as attrac-
tive as it was at the beginning of the year,
but fewer see an alternative where they
should put their money.
Bonds are down 2.1 percent this year,
according to the benchmark Barclays U.S.
Aggregate bond index. Cash has a near-zero
return in money market funds. Gold has
dropped 24 percent.
Its hard to say stocks are expensive
when you compare them to any other asset
class, says Brian Hogan, director of equi-
ties at Fidelity Investments. The other
options are simply not attractive.
Google to pay $17M to
settle Safari privacy case
SAN FRANCISCO Google is paying
$17 million to 37 states and the District of
Columbia to make amends for the Internet
search leaders snooping on millions of
people using Safari Web browsers in 2011
and 2012.
The settlement announced Monday
stems from a technological loophole that
enabled Googles DoubleClick advertising
network to shadow unwitting Safari users,
even though the browsers maker, Apple
Inc., prohibited the tracking without
obtaining a persons permission. By fol-
lowing what Safari users were doing
online, DoubleClick could gain more
insights about what types of ads were most
likely to appeal to different Safari users.
This is the second time that authorities in
the U.S. have cracked down on Google for its
secret shadowing of Safari users from June
2011 through mid-February of last year.

Giants sign veteran pitcher Tim Hudson

Patrick Pauni, center, rushed for 191 yards on 15 carries in Aragons two-point win over rival Hillsdale Friday.
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Tim Hudson
is headed back to the Bay Area.
The San Francisco Giants have
agreed to a $23 million, two-year
contract with the free-agent pitcher,
who began his career with Oakland.
Hudson had a physical Monday, and
the team said the deal is pending the
results of that examination.
Hudson made his major league
debut with the Athletics in 1999 and
went 92-39 in six seasons with
Oakland, where the right-hander
teamed with Mark Mulder and Barry
Zito to form a successful Big
Three.
The 38-year-old Hudson went 8-7
with a 3.97 ERA in 21 starts this
season for Atlanta. His season was
cut short by a broken right ankle
that required surgery. The Braves
earlier this month declined to make
a qualifying offer to Hudson, who
won 49 games during the previous
three seasons.
Im pumped, Giants lefty
reliever Jeremy Affeldt said by text
message. Great signing for us.
Competitor and innings eater.
Knows how to win!
Hudson was hurt July 24 in New
York when the Mets Eric Young Jr.
inadvertently stepped on the back
of the pitchers lower right leg
while Hudson covered rst base.
San Francisco, which missed the
playoffs this year after winning the
World Series in 2010 and 12, is
seeking another starter to join Matt
Cain, Madison Bumgarner and Tim
Lincecum in a rotation losing Zito
and probably also free-agent righty
Ryan Vogelsong.
Cain and Bumgarner are signed
long term, while Lincecum received
a $35 million, two-year deal last
month.
Hudson was drafted by the As in
the sixth round of the 1997 amateur
draft out of Auburn.
Oakland traded Hudson to the
Braves in December 2004 and he
pitched nine seasons in Atlanta.
The three-time All-Star earned NL
Comeback Player of the Year hon-
ors in 2010 after he returned from
elbow ligament replacement surgery
S
unday was a historic day at
the Central Coast Section
football seeding meeting.
For the rst time since the
Peninsula Athletic League was cre-
ated in its current form in 1996,
the league garnered three top seeds
in the ve
divisions of
the CCS
playoffs.
I dont
know if these
things are
cyclical
because the
WCAL (West
Catholic
Athletic
League) is
always on
top, but we
(the PAL) have been creeping up
slowly, said Terry Stogner, PAL
commissioner.
The PALdoes not get a tremen-
dous amount of respect from certain
areas of CCS (read: San Jose), but
everyone has to give up for the PAL
this season. Terra Nova (Open
Division), Burlingame (Division
III) and Sacred Heart Prep (Division
IV) all earned the No. 1 seeds in
their divisions and have a com-
bined record of 29-1, with both
Terra Nova and Burlingame posting
undefeated records. Sacred Heart

Aragon head football coach
Steve Sell said that, in the week
leading up to the 2013 Battle of
the Fleas, his star fullback Patrick
Pauni was sick as a dog.
For a bit now, the u bug has
made its rounds in the Aragon
locker room. Sell himself has
caught it and cant help but cough
two or three times between sen-
tences. And as timing goes, the
us presence in the Dons locker
room could not have been worse.
With rival Hillsdale champing at
the bit to end its rivalry game curse
(that now stands at 22 years), a
spot in the Central Coast Section
playoffs hanging in the balance
and players like Pauni falling left
and right because of the virus,
things didnt look too healthy for
Aragon.
But come game time, under the
lights at Aragon High School and
seemingly all of San Mateo watch-
ing, big No. 35 decided to put the
Dons on his shoulders, shrug off
the illness that kept his out of
practice the entire week and leave
Hillsdale hurting with a bad case of
the Paunies.
Patrick chose the right night to
have his best game, Sell said.
Ill say that. The power running

ALAMEDA Former NFL linebacker
Thomas Howard died early Monday morning
following a high-speed car crash on a freeway
in Oakland.
The Alameda County Coroners ofce said
the 30-year-old Howard was one of two men
who died in the crash Monday. The driver of
the other car, 64-year-old Zeng Long Liu of
Hayward, also died in the crash.
Howard was driving a speeding BMWwhen
he hit a big rig, ipped over the center divider
and went head-on into a Honda traveling on
the other side around 1 a.m., said Ofcer
Daniel Hill, a spokesman for the California
Highway Patrol.
Witnesses say the car was traveling at
speeds between 100 mph to 110 mph as the
car overturned, crossed a median and ended up
in the southbound lanes of the freeway, where
it sideswiped another car before landing on
top of the Honda, Hill said.
Hill said that alcohol is not being ruled out
as a possible cause of the accident.
Howard played eight years in the NFL after
being drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the
second round out of Texas-El Paso in 2006. He
was most recently with Atlanta before getting
released last week after playing two games
this season. Howard played his rst ve sea-
sons with the Raiders and two seasons with
Cincinnati.
Words really cant describe how Im feel-
ing right now, former Raiders teammate Kirk
Morrison wrote on his Instagram account.
To get that dreaded phone call and hear some-
one tell you that one of your best friends is no
longer with us is hard to grasp. The feeling of
shock and disbelief can be unbearable at times
but all I can remember is all the good times
that we had. ... I didnt lose a best friend or
former teammate, I truly lost a brother today
in Thomas Howard.
Howard became an almost immediate starter
when he joined the Raiders, making 62 starts
in his rst four seasons. His best season came
in 2007 when he intercepted six passes and
returned two of them for touchdowns. He also
had one sack, 11 passes defensed and one fum-
ble recovery that season.
Howard left the Raiders as a free agent in
2011 and started 15 games in his rst season
with the Bengals. Howard tore his ACL after
his rst game in 2012 and missed the rest of
the season.

BOSTON Those who were personally
and profoundly impacted by the explosions
at the Boston Marathon nish line will be
able to run in next years race under a special
invitation that event organizers extended on
Monday to those with a special connection
to the events of April 15.
Having already expanded the eld by 9,000
to accommodate those who were stopped on
the course when two bombs went off at the
nish line, as well as those who want to run
the rst race after the bombings, the Boston
Athletic Association said it has set aside up
to a few hundred additional entries for those
who can make their case in a 250-word essay
submitted to the organizations website.
We are making additional entries avail-
able by request to those who were personally
and profoundly impacted, B.A.A. Executive
Director Tom Grilk said.
Grilk said this is in addition to a special
allocation of entries for The One Fund, the
charity established to help the bombing vic-
tims, and for rst-responders and for Boston-
area hospitals where the wounded were treat-
ed. Nor is it specically for athletes with dis-
abilities, including those wounded in the
explosions; a separate process is designed
for them.
Those who would like to apply need to
make their case in 250 words or fewer and
submit it to the B.A.A. website,
www.baa.org , by Nov. 27. A committee
appointed by the B.A.A. will allocate the
entries and notify those who were successful
on Dec. 4.
Those entering must be 18 years old on
race day and be prepared to show they can
compete the 26.2-mile distance in less than
6 hours, 30 minutes.
Three people were killed and at least 260
wounded when two bombs exploded on
Boylston Street during this years race.
An expanded eld of 36,000 the second-
biggest in the races 118-year history is
expected to line up on April 21 for the run
from Hopkinton to Bostons Back Bay.

Preps lone loss came to the Tigers.
I think its been a really good year for
us, Stogner said. Were getting it (valida-
tion from the rest of the section).
To get the No. 1 seed in the Open
Division is quite the feather in the cap.
Terra Nova can play.
This is the third straight year Terra Nova,
as the PAL Bay Division champion, will be
playing in the Open Division. The last two
seasons as the No. 7 seed in the 2011
and the No. 8 seed last season the Tigers
have drawn WCAL power Bellarmine. This
year, the Bells are the No. 6 seed, but that
doesnt mean Terra Nova avoids a WCAL
team in the rst round. Instead, the Tigers
get to play an always strong Valley
Christian squad in the rst round.
Despite getting three No. 1 seeds,
Stogner admitted he wont be crowing
when it comes to his attending CCS meet-
ings in the future. He understands seeds are
just a number and now its up to those
teams to show they deserved the No. 1
seed.
Personally, however, Stogner is enjoy-
ing it just a little bit.
Do I feel good when I pick up the news-
paper Monday morning and see the seed-
ings? Absolutely, Stogner said.

In 2011, the Bay Cities Bulldogs pee-

Now, that team is a couple years older
and better. As such, the Bulldogs Midget
squad, which is comprised of players age
12 to 15 from Burlingame, Hillsborough,
Foster City and San Mateo, will contend
for the national championship in Florida
next month. The Bulldogs qualied for the
national championship tournament with a
22-8 win over the San Jose Saints Saturday
evening, which clinched the divisional and
regional title for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs are currently 9-1 and are
riding a six-game winning streak.
The Bulldogs would have to win three
games to be named national champions
assuming they can get to Florida. The team
will need to raise upwards of $40,000 said
Elenie Hulman, a parent for one of the
players on the team.
Up to this point, she said, families have
been trying to raise money on their own.
Weve been reaching out to everybody
and everyone we know, Hulman said. The
boys have written letters to the 49ers. Ive
reached out to (former Hillsdale, College of
San Mateo and NFL coach) Dick Vermeil.
Right now, were doing it on a personal
level.
Now, however, there is a way for any-
body and everybody to help get the
Bulldogs to Florida. Abank account has
been set up by the Bay Cities program to
allow anyone to make a donation, which

Warriors ONeal
has bruised knee, groin strain
OAKLAND Golden State Warriors cen-
ter Jermaine ONeal has a bruised right
knee and a strained right groin.
ONeal didnt travel with the team for
Monday nights game at Utah, and the
reserve is considered day to day. An MRI
exam confirmed the injury.
He was hurt early in the fourth quarter of
Golden States 102-88 victory over the
Jazz on Saturday night in Oakland when he
slipped along the baseline.
The Warriors signed free-agent center
Dewayne Dedmon from the franchises
NBA Development League affiliate in
Santa Cruz to help fill ONeals absence.
Dedmon played in five preseason games
with Golden State, averaging 3.4 points,
four rebounds and one block in 10.3 min-
utes. He was waived on Oct. 25.
Reserve center Ognjen Kuzmic likely
will be counted on more to fill ONeals
void as well. The Warriors also could play
power forwards David Lee and Marreese
Speights at center.
ONeal is in his 18th season in the NBA.
He has battled numerous knee injuries
throughout his career, though the most
serious have been to his left knee.
Sports Brief
was a real nice surprise much needed.
The Dons needed every bit of Paunis pres-
ence in the backeld Friday night. As stated,
Hillsdale, who came in as the Peninsula
Athletic League Lake Division champions,
did not drive two miles over to Aragon to sim-
ply lay down and lose to big brother. At the
end of the 48-minute, Alameda de la Pulgas
war, the difference was only two points, 43-
41 the closest result since 2009 when the
Knights defecit was only eight.
Big plays were the difference in the win and
none larger than Paunis 80-yard touchdown
that took Hillsdales momentum and buried it
behind a 29-21 lead in the second quarter.
The 80-yard run was part of a huge day for
No. 35, who tallied 191 yards rushing on just
15 carries. For his efforts, Pauni is the San
Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
Maybe its the way I was raised on Aragon
football there is always a tight end, theres
always a fullback and theyre always in at the
same time, Sell said of his big bruising
back. And, I still like that brand of football.
And when you have someone like Patrick it
certainly helps. Its what ts our personality
the best and certainly its what ts my per-
sonality the best.
Pauni certainly has made the most out of his
place in the Aragon system. With his size,
hes the obvious choice in short yardage situ-
ations. But on Friday, with his 80-yard burst,
he showed hes eet-footed enough to outrun
defenses. Not to be overlooked though, is
what Pauni does for the Aragon run game as a
whole. There arent too many linebackers or
safeties in the PAL who love seeing No. 35
coming right at you to play you out and
spring Aragons slew of talented runners.
Some will argue that the other yards our
other back had, Keith Samujh (159 yards, 16
carries), were in part related to how worn
down Hillsdale got by dealing with Patrick,
Sell said. Not to mention that on a couple of
Keiths runs, Patrick was the lead blocker.
And, he can denitely be a difference-maker
and he denitely was Friday. I think when he
starts running through guys, it certainly sets
a tone. And I think the kids feed off that kind
of physicality for sure.
Aragon is denitely going to need more of
Pauni as they begin their trek through the
CCS playoffs in Division III as the No. 7
seed. Theyll travel to No. 2 Aptos Friday
night.
The most important part about Friday,
Sell said, was even though he was sick, he
didnt cough up the football. We didnt cough
up the football. Thats why we won. And
thats nothing to squeeze at.

Sports Brief
By Steve Reed
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Cam Newton threw
a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ted Ginn Jr.
with 59 seconds left and the Carolina
Panthers held off the New England Patriots
24-20 Monday night for their sixth straight
victory when ofcials picked up a penalty
ag on the nal play.
Stephen Gostkowskis 26-yard eld goal
put the Patriots up 20-17 before Newton
drove Carolina 83 yards on 13 plays for the
go-ahead touchdown. The speedy Ginn
escaped Kyle Arrington along the left side-
line and outraced Logan Ryan to the left
pylon for his third touchdown of the sea-
son.
The Patriots appeared on the verge of
making an improbable comeback when
Brady moved New England to the Carolina
18 and fired into the end zone on the
games final play.
The pass was intercepted by safety Robert
Lester, but ofcials threw a ag after it
appeared linebacker Luke Kuechly had inter-
fered with tight end Rob Gronkowski by
grabbing him with both hands.
But ofcials quickly gathered together and
waved off the ag.
An angry Brady sprinted over to two of-
cials to argue the call as they walked off the
eld. Meanwhile, the Panthers celebrated.
We had good pressure and our safety
Robert Lester was in good position to make
the play, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.
Brady was 29 of 40 for 296 yards and one
touchdown.
Newton completed 19 of 28 passes for
209 yards and three touchdowns. He also
ran seven times for 62 yards in what will go
down as one of his best games a pro.
Af t er t he game, Ri ver a cal l ed i t a
gut s y eff or t .
It wasnt our best defensive effort, but it
was one of our better offensive efforts,
Rivera said. It was good for our guys to win
a game like this.
Carolinas win came eight days after a 10-
9 victory over reigning NFC champion San
Francisco.
The Panthers entered the fourth quarter
with a 17-10 lead, but Stevan Ridley made
up for an earlier fumble with a 1-yard touch-
down run and the Patriots took the lead with
6:32 left in the game when Gostkowski
slipped a 26-yard eld goal just inside the
left upright.
Newton gave Carolina a 17-10 lead in the
third quarter on an 81-yard touchdown drive
that took more than 8 minutes off the clock
and featured a scramble in which the third-
year quarterback avoided four tacklers and
turned a potential 20-yard sack into a 14-
yard gain and a rst down.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The San Mateo Daily Journal sports staff
has quite a task ahead of it.
In a couple of weeks, when the dust settles
from all the Central Coast Section champi-
onships, an all-Daily Journal Football
Team and Player of the Year will have to be
selected. And with the way the football reg-
ular season ended, lots of players have ung
themselves into that conversation.
Take for example Terra Novas Anthony
Gordon. In his rst season at the varsity
level, the junior has led the Tigers to a 10-0
season, a fifth Bay Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division title and a No. 1 seed
in the CCS Open Division. On Friday,
Gordon completely annihilated the Half
Moon Bay defense for seven (yes, seven)
touchdowns passes on 19 of 24 passing.
But hes not alone. Over at Serra, another
rst-year quarterback, Matt Faaita is also in
the running. In his rst year at the helm, the
Padres are 8-2, with the No. 2 seed in the
Open Division. Faaita is fresh off a 156-
yard, three-touchdown performance against
previously unbeaten Archbishop Mitty. All
three of those tosses (18, 24 and 69 yards)
went to Hamilton Anoai.
Woodsides Josh Holman and Menlo-
Athertons Isaiah Nash have to be in the
mix as well.
Its a shame CCS wont get to see Holman
who is as electric with the football as they
come. In a 40-33 loss to rival M-A, Holman
scored four touchdowns a 93-yard kickoff
return, a 66-yard punt return, an 80-yard
screen pass and catch and another 30-yard
beauty of a snag. In all, Holman caught
eight passes for 201 yards.
But M-Awon the game because they have
Nash whose Bears are heading to CCS
knowing their running back is clicking on
all cylinders. Nash rushed for 245 yards on
33 carries in that win. He also scored three
touchdowns including the eventual game-
winner.
Staying on the football gridiron, but in
Rivalry Week feats, the Burlingame running
game helped the Panthers capture their 50th
Paw.
At 5-10, 200 pounds, Chi Li Tang appears
to be the heir-apparent to the Panthers
backfield. Only a sophomore, Tang led
Burlingame in rushing in the 86th annual
Little Big Game, gouging San Mateo for 81
yards on just seven carries.
The man hell be replacing, Keone Keahi,
rushed for 74 yards and a pair of touchdowns
and added a 27-yard touchdown on his only
catch of the game to nish with 101 yards of
total offense in the same game.
Sacred Heart Prep won the Valparaiso
Bowl thanks to a nal-minute interception
at the 8-yard line by Riley Tinsley.
Over in South San Francisco, the
Warriors Dupra Goodman and El Caminos
Brandon Gip hooked up in a battle of run-
ning back wills. Gip has a couple of huge
runs to keep the Colts in the game. But it
was Goodmans touchdown and then his 2-
point conversion that helped South City
retain The Bell.
And Sequoias Dylan Anderson helped
take down rival Carlmont. He scored twice
in what a 51-7 beat down of the Scots.
Elsewhere in the Honor Roll, Morgan
Dressell of Menlo volleyball had 12 kills as
the top-seeded Knights swept past Notre
Dame-Belmont in the quarternal of the
Central Coast Section Division IV tourna-
ment Saturday. . . . Tatum Novitsky of
Burlingame volleyball had six kills and ve
aces as the third-seeded Panthers beat
Saratoga in three straight games in
Saturdays CCS Division III quarterfinal
match. ... Virginia Lane of Menlo-Atherton
volleyball had a monster game in the top-
seeded Bears three-game sweep of
Cupertino in the CCS Division I quarter-
nals. On a team full of hitter, Lane nished
with 24 kills. ... Chris Xi of Menlo School
has been the beneciary of teams focusing
Nick Bisconti all season. Xi scored a team-
high four goals to lead the second-seeded
Knights past No. 7 Saratoga, 7-5 Saturday.
Football stars own this weeks Honor Roll
By Matthew Coles
SALT LAKE CITY Stephen Curry scored
22 points, Klay Thompson and Harrison
Barnes had 17 apiece and the Golden State
Warriors beat the struggling Utah Jazz 98-87
on Monday night.
Curry had eight assists and made four 3-
pointers before leaving in the fourth quarter
after Utahs Marvin Williams landed on his
head in a scramble for a loose ball. After a cou-
ple of minutes to gain his bearings, Curry got
up and left the court under his own power with a
towel draped over his head.
Curry is expected to be ready for Wednesdays
home game against Memphis.
The Warriors made 12 of 22 attempts from 3-
point range and led by as
many as 28 points.
Gordon Hayward scored
18 points and Williams had
16 but the Jazz (1-11)
dropped their third straight
after earning their lone win
of the season.
In their rst game with-
out Jermaine ONeal, David
Lee had 14 points and 14
rebounds while Andrew
Bogut added 13 rebounds and three blocked
shots to neutralize Utahs inside presence.
What the Jazz lack (and the Warriors have in
spades) became apparent in the fourth quarter.
After clawing within striking distance, Utah
missed eight of its rst nine shots in the fourth
quarter.
The Jazz are among the worst shooting teams
in the league, converting less than 41 percent
of their attempts.
They were even worse against Golden State,
nishing at 39.5 percent despite an abundance
of clean looks at the rim.
On the other end, the Warriors heated up in
the nal period to put the game away.
Thompsons layup with 7:56 to play extended
the lead to 92-69.
Utah did have one strong stretch in the third
quarter. Diante Garrett, who was just signed last
week, checked in and promptly scored eight in
a 17-2 spurt. Garrett dished to Williams for a 3
that made it 70-57.
The Warriors, who had lost their previous
two road games, outrebounded Utah 57-40 and
limited the NBAs best offensive rebounding
team to just six.
Early in the second quarter, Williams made a
3-pointer to help the Jazz close to 29-27 before
Curry led a 30-9 run, fueled by 6-for-8 shooting
from beyond the arc for Golden State.
Curry had missed eight 3-pointers in a row
over the past three games before making a trio
of 3s in the second-quarter surge.
Golden State also won the front end of a
home-and-away set between the teams.
Thompson had 25 points as the Warriors held
off the Jazz 102-88 on Saturday.

SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh still
believes Ahmad Brooks made a clean hit on
Drew Brees and should have been credited
with a game-clinching fumble.
Instead, Brooks was agged for a person-
al foul on the Saints quarterback in the wan-
ing minutes Sunday and the 49ers watched
Garrett Hartley kick a pair of late eld goals
to lift New Orleans over the reigning NFC
champions 20-17.
Another heartbreaking three-point loss
in the Superdome. Back in February, it was a
34-31 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens in the
Super Bowl.
Our interpretation was, when we grade a
player, if hes got a penalty we give him a
minus, but we did not assign a minus on that
play, Harbaugh said Monday. The play
occurred that occurred. I thought Ahmad hit
at the right level, hit at the shoulder level.
The quarterback kind of shrunk down and
thats the ofcials call to make. Im going
to see it the way I see it and thats going to
be a slanted view. I really dont know much
more to say about that.
The 49ers (6-4) are suddenly dealing with
their second two-game skid of the season
after San Francisco never lost consecutive
games in Harbaughs initial two years as
coach. The Niners also lost back-to-back
games in Weeks 2 and 3, at Seattle and at
home to the Indianapolis Colts.
Brooks said after the game that that play
was likely the difference in the 49ers leav-
ing the Big Easy with a loss.
Its very frustrating. The game could
have gone in a totally different direction,
he said. And Im mad because that was a big
call in the game, and then we lost the game,
and thats probably the reason why.
Next up is a game at Washington on
Monday Night Football. Everybody real-
izes what is at stake at this stage with
December looming, and three division
games still remaining namely, the rst-
place Seahawks visit to Candlestick Park
on Dec. 8.
Harbaugh challenged himself to do a bet-
ter job.
Im attacking the day with enthusiasm
unknown to mankind. Win or lose, thats
the approach, he said. Win, come back
and make sure that you can contribute any-
thing you can to the winning. If you lose,
you want to come back and make sure that
darn near never happens again. ... The
mindset is, you dont win the game youre
not going to feel great, and you dont feel
good. I know that as a coach. And if you
want to feel better, coach better. Thats what
I tell myself.
An offense that scored 31 or more points
in each victory of a five-game winning
streak before a home loss to Carolina on
Nov. 10 has been inconsistent since. While
Harbaugh referenced getting some new faces
up to speed, he wouldnt say whether 2012
leading wide receiver Michael Crabtree
might be ready to face the Redskins. He
returned to practice Nov. 5 for the rst time
since tearing his right Achilles tendon in
May and undergoing surgery. The 49ers
have until Nov. 26 to activate him.
Well see, Harbaugh said. I think hes
close.
For now, all involved are calling on one
another to do more to nish the regular sea-
son strong with playoff positioning or
even a spot in the playoffs on the line.
The 49ers have managed a combined 347
yards during their two recent losses, while
quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been
sacked nine times during those two games.
At the end of the day its just one loss and
weve got six weeks to keep playing for,
tight end Vernon Davis said. We know the
ultimate goal is to win as many games as
you can and get into the playoffs.
After beginning this season poised to
chase a third straight NFC West crown, the
four losses are somewhat of a surprise.
I think we are (surprised) but we still
have six more to go, Kaepernick said.
And we can still nish this season 12-4.
Notes: The 49ers signed CB Dax Swanson
to the practice squad. ... Harbaugh had no
medical updates on LG Mike Iupati (left
knee) or CB Tarell Brown (rib contusion).

This hit by ahmad rrooks on drew bress is the
talk of the NFL right now.
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Matt McGloins rapid ascent
from undrafted rookie free agent could lead to
him becoming the regular starting quarter-
back for the Oakland Raiders.
McGloin threw three touchdown passes
against Houston in his rst career start as he
led the Raiders to their rst road victory of the
season, earning himself serious considera-
tion for a shot to take over the starting role
from Terrelle Pryor.
Coach Dennis Allen wasnt ready to
announce a decision Monday about who
would start this week against Tennessee
because he wants to talk to Pryor to determine
the status of his injured right knee.
Im not sure exactly where he is physical-
l y, but I will say this, with Matts perform-
ance, hes earned the right to be in the discus-
sion, Allen said. Thats for sure.
Tellingly, Allen would not commit to Pryor
starting Sunday if he is healthy, saying the
decision will be made on whats best for the
team.
Our job as coaches is to try to do the
things that we feel like give us the best
opportunity to win, he said. Thats what
those players in that locker room are looking
for. Now, its good to know that you have
options. Thats, obviously, a positive. I
dont look at it as a tough situation. I look at
it as a good situation.
McGloin completed 18 of 32 passes for
197 yards, the three touchdowns and no inter-
ceptions in one of the best debut starts of any
rookie, much less an undrafted one.
McGloin became the rst Raider in four
years to throw at least three touchdowns and
no interceptions in a game and joined former
Raider Todd Marinovich as the only rookies
since the 1970 merger to do that in their rst
career start.
That helped lead the Raiders (4-6) to a 28-
23 win that put them back into the thick of
the race for the nal AFC playoff spot.
Oakland is one of seven teams in the AFC
with four wins. Miami and the New York Jets
are tied at 5-5 for the sixth and nal playoff
spot with six games to play.
I thought he had great command of the
huddle, Allen said. I thought his presence
on the eld was outstanding. I thought he did
a great job communicating with the sideline.
When you watch him in the passing game,
there werent a lot of unsettledness. He was
calm in the pocket. He worked through his
progression. He threw the ball with timing
and accuracy. In particular, for the rst time
out and the rst time starting, I thought he
handled himself very well.
The performance was a stark contrast to the
way Pryor had played in recent weeks. Since a
promising start to the season, Pryor strug-
gled in recent weeks before nally being
forced to sit because of a sprained MCLin his
right knee.
McGloin makes case for Raiders starting QB gig

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station carrying NASAs Mars
Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution spacecraft in Cape
Canaveral, Fla.
NASA launches robotic
explorer Maven to Mars
By Marcia Dunn
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. NASAs newest robotic
explorer, Maven, rocketed toward Mars on Monday on a quest
to unravel the ancient mystery of the red planets radical cli-
mate change.
The Maven spacecraft is due at Mars next fall following a
journey of more than 440 million miles.
Hey, guys, were going to Mars! Mavens principal sci-
entist, Bruce Jakosky of the University of Colorado at
Boulder, told reporters after liftoff.
Jakosky and others want to know why Mars went from
being warm and wet during its rst billion years to cold and dry
today. The early Martian atmosphere was thick enough to hold
water and possibly support microbial life. But much of that
atmosphere may have been lost to space, eroded by the sun.
Maven set off through a cloudy afternoon sky in its bid to
provide answers. An unmanned Atlas Vrocket put the space-
craft on the proper course for Mars, and launch controllers
applauded and shook hands over the success.
What a Monday at the ofce, NASA project manager
David Mitchell said. Maybe Im not showing it, but Im
euphoric.
Ten years in the making, Maven had Nov. 18, 2013, as its
original launch date, and we hit it, Mitchell said.
I just want to say, Safe travels, Maven. Were with you all
the way.
Jakosky, Mavens mastermind, said he was anxious and
even shaking as the nal seconds of the countdown ticked
away.
Proposition 30, a sales and income tax
increase initiative, raises about $6 bil-
lion annually for education and other
state programs.
Unfortunately, whats been reported
is making community members
assume schools are being fully fund-
ed, said association President Alisa
MacAvoy said, who is also a trustee on
the Redwood City Elementary School
District board. We still have a long
ways to go in other words.
Californias schools spent $2,475
less per student than the rest of the
United States in 2012-13, and spent
$4,080 less per student in 2012-13
than Illinois and nearly $6,700 less
per student than New York, according
an October 2013 report from the
California Budget Project called
School Finance Facts.
This has affected everything includ-
ing prociency rates in all grades in all
subjects, graduation rates, and college
and career readiness, states the paper,
which includes viewpoints shaped by
the collective experiences of more
than 100 school board members who
serve in the county. It is nothing
short of a public crisis that will impact
the citizens and the economy of this
state for decades to come.
The debate around public education
policy often simplies complex and
nuanced issues and often ignores the
perspective of those individuals who
are responsible for the governance of
our local school system, MacAvoy
said in the press release. The goal of
these position papers is to give con-
text and perspective to these debates
and propose impactful solutions for
the highest priority issues, she said.
A lot of people are misinformed
when it comes to the issue of public
education, said Carrie Du Bois, a
trustee on the Sequoia Union High
School District and vice president of
the association. I think this will help
in that area.
It is a good idea for the association
to take a stand on policy issues and
also educate the community, she added.
The decision to create the position
papers came from the board this sum-
mer talking about the need to have dis-
cussion about important topics in edu-
cation, said MacAvoy said. The associ-
ation represents the 22 school dis-
tricts, the Community College District
and County Ofce of Education and
many board members who had input
into the document.
Marc Friedman, a trustee for the San
Mateo Union High School District and
an association director, said there are
many inequities between districts and
this paper helps highlight them and
expand districts scopes.
Every school board sort has a
parochial view of their own district,
he said. When you look at the whole
picture theres a lot more going on.
The association looks at that bigger
picture. To me, inequity is shown in
what different districts pay their teach-
ers since theyre all juggling different
amounts of money.
Karen Schwarz, trustee on the San
Mateo County Community College
District and an association director,
said the association is trying to edu-
cate the public on whats going on in
public education.
Its for K-1mostly, she said. Its
coming from right here at home.
The paper goes on to state these lev-
els of funding inadequacy and inequity
has enormous ramications. Almost
all school districts will continue to
face problems such as large class size;
few teacher aides, undercompensated
staff; minimal professional develop-
ment and cursory evaluation systems
for staff; minimal or non-existent pro-
grams such as music, art, counseling,
library support and physical educa-
tion; lack of sufcient after-school and
summer enrichment programs; and out-
dated facilities and inadequate technol-
ogy, Internet access and other teaching
tools, even after new funding formula
implementation, the paper states.
Additionally, public schools face a
unique opportunity to provide a true
21st century education, but it will
require both sufcient resources and
regulatory and structural changes for
implementation, the paper states.
The associations board of directors
approved the paper Nov. 14. The next
paper will be focused on preschools
and there are a number of other topics
the association will explore. Other
directors include Seth Rosenblatt, a
San Carlos Elementary School District
trustee, Joe Ross of the San Mateo
County Board of Education and Lory
Lorimer Lawson, president of the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
District board.

By Lauran Neergaard
The pair of lungs sits inside a clear dome,
gently inating as doctors measure how
well theyll breathe if implanted into a
patient who desperately needs a new set.
Its a little-known twist of nature your
lungs can live on for a while after you die.
The air left inside keeps them from deterio-
rating right away as other organs do.
An innovative experiment now aims to
use that hour-or-more window of time to
boost lung transplants by allowing dona-
tions from people who suddenly collapse
and die at home instead of in a hospital.
There arent enough lungs. Were bury-
ing them, said Dr. Thomas Egan of the
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill,
who is leading the project. It turns out your
lungs dont die when you do.
This is a new frontier for transplants.
Today, registered organ donors dont get
to fulll that last wish if they die outside of
a hospital. The U.S. doesnt have a system
to recover their organs quickly enough. It
can be an added shock to grieving families,
and a waste of potentially good organs that
might ease transplant shortages.
The general public does not understand
how hard it is to become an organ donor.
They assume if they sign their card, when
they die, then it will happen, said bioethi-
cist Arthur Caplan of New York Universitys
Langone Medical Center. Only 2 to 3 per-
cent of people die in circumstances that let
them be organ donors.
The new study in the Research Triangle
area of North Carolina is trying to change
that, focusing on lungs because Egans
research suggests they last the longest.
Heres how it works.
Someone collapses with cardiac arrest.
Emergency workers exhaust attempts at
CPR. If the drivers license lists the person
as a registered donor, the local organ recov-
ery agency tracks down next-of-kin for per-
mission to participate in the research.
If that happens within about an hour of
death, then workers pump a little air into
the lungs to preserve them while the body is
transported to an operating room for organ
recovery.
Workers wheeled a cooler bearing the rst
set of lungs donated in the experiment into
Egans lab for the next crucial step deter-
mining if theyre really healthy.
Inside the science ction-looking domed
machine, a ventilator slowly filled the
lungs. They resembled a turkey awaiting
roasting. Some black speckles on the out-
side didnt worry Egan. Theyre a sign of
city living, or maybe earlier smoking. Its
deeper inside that counts.
Egan infused them with a special uid that
ows like blood normally would. This so-
called ex vivo lung perfusion preserves the
lungs even longer. It can tell if they transfer
oxygen properly or help spot signs of dis-
ease. Egan also peeked inside with a bron-
choscope, looking for abnormalities.
These lungs didnt pass the test because
Egan found some early disease. But they did
show it was possible to get a donation in
time to try.
Lungs that do pass will be transplanted
into patients willing to take a chance on
these nontraditional organs, as part of the
study funded by the National Institutes of
Health.
That would be the greatest thing, to be
able to breathe normal, said Lisa Bowman,
51, of Union Grove, N.C.
Bowman has been on the waiting list for
new lungs for two years after a rare genetic
disease gradually damaged her own until,
she says, it became like breathing through
a pinhole. She hopes Egans research will
help her nd a match more quickly.
Some previous U.S. attempts at out-of-
hospital donation of another organ, kid-
neys, didnt pan out because of logistical
hurdles. But transplant specialists are
watching this newest experiment closely,
saying that if it works, it eventually could
open the way to many more donations
not just lungs but maybe other organs, too.
Weve had a number of very disgruntled
family members that wanted to donate (a
loved ones organs) and werent able to,
said Dr. Jeffrey Punch, transplant surgery
chief at the University of Michigan.
Spurred by that family reaction, in a few
months, his team plans to try recovering
kidneys from cardiac arrest victims who are
rushed to the emergency room but cant be
saved and turn out to be registered donors.
In North Carolina, Egans study likewise
will try to recover lungs from people who
die in the ER as well as in the community.
Today, the vast majority of donated
organs come from people who suffer a
severe injury and are hooked to a ventilator
for days, even weeks, until doctors deter-
mine they are brain-dead. Machinery keeps
blood and oxygen owing until surgeons
can collect organs deemed healthy enough.
What about registered donors who col-
lapse with cardiac arrest at home, the ofce
or the gym and efforts at CPR fail?
Experience overseas shows its possible to
take quick steps to preserve and recover
their organs. Doctors in Spain have trans-
planted kidneys, livers and lungs from
these unconventional donors. France has
reported some success with kidneys.
In the United States, more than 6,000
people died last year while awaiting one of
those organs.
Lungs are in particularly short supply.
Only 15 percent to 20 percent of donated
lungs are usable, often because complica-
tions during the donors hospitalization
damaged them. Just 1,700 lungs transplants
are performed each year, compared with
nearly 11,000 kidney transplants from
deceased donors.
Egan, a cardiothoracic surgeon, said doc-
tors dont even suggest the possibility of a
lung transplant to thousands who might
benet because there arent enough donors.
Yet the Institute of Medicine has estimat-
ed that as many as 22,000 people a year
who die outside of hospitals could be poten-
tial organ donors if scientists settle some
ethical and practical questions.
Buying time to recover those organs
means doing some things not normally
done to dead bodies, noted bioethicist
Caplan, and that can mean ventilating
lungs or ltering blood to the kidneys.
How will grieving families react? Is it
possible to tell whos a registered donor,
and nd next-of-kin, in time to try?
New York City studied kidney donations
after at-home deaths in 2011.
Dr. Stephen Wall of Bellevue Hospital
Seeking lung donors after at-home death
Its a little-known twist of nature your lungs can live on for a while after you die.The air left
inside keeps them from deteriorating right away as other organs do.

PORTLAND, Ore. With all the
problems facing the rollout of
President Barack Obamas health
care overhaul, nowhere is the situ-
ation worse or more surprising
than in Oregon, a progressive
state that has enthusiastically
embraced the federal law but has so
far failed to enroll a single person
in coverage through the states
insurance exchange.
Despite grand ambitions, an
early start, millions of dollars
from the federal government and a
tech-savvy population, Oregons
online enrollment system still
isnt ready more than a month
after it was supposed to go live.
The state has resorted to hiring or
reassigning 400 people to
process insurance applications by
hand.
Were all surprised and frustrat-
ed that were in the position that
were in now, said Jesse OBrien,
a health care advocate at the
Oregon State Public Interest
Research Group, which lobbied
for the exchange.
The state has received about
18,000 paper applications, at 19
pages each, and is scrambling to
manually le and clear them. State
ofcials have not been able to say
when they expect the online sys-
tem to launch, nor have they
established a deadline to submit
paper applications in order for
coverage to begin Jan. 1.
Meanwhile, the exchanges board
is demanding answers from the
executive director about when the
website will work and how his
team will get people enrolled on
time.
For consumers, the application
process can be long and frustrat-
i ng.
Ive been trying since the very
rst day of October just to try to
nd out the coverage I could get,
said Donna George, 43, a book-
keeper from Bend, Ore., whos
been uninsured for three years.
When the online system would-
nt work, George submitted a
paper application Oct. 7 for her-
self and her husband. Finally, on
Nov. 12, she received an enroll-
ment packet that tells her how
much of a tax credit shell receive
and lays out her coverage options.
Shes now waiting to meet with
her insurance agent to pick a plan
and return the forms.
Oregon has long prided itself on
being a leader in health policy. Its
Medicaid system has been a test-
ing ground for new innovations
since the early 1990s. The state
started laying the groundwork for
an insurance exchange a year
before Congress passed the health
care law that called for one in
every state. Gov. John Kitzhaber,
a former emergency room physi-
cian, is a respected voice on
health reform.
The state also has a large popu-
lation of young, underemployed
progressives who might provide a
burgeoning market for affordable
coverage. Its ultra-competitive
health care market led to lower-
than-expected premiums.
Lawmakers from both parties have
embraced the law. And the Portland
area is a thriving hub of technolo-
gy companies known as the
Silicon Forest.
In other words, Oregon had
everything going for it.
But its exchange, known as
Cover Oregon, became a victim of
its own lofty ambitions and the
states stubborn refusal to dial
Oregon health exchange represents biggest woe

them back until it was too late.
While exchanges in many states are
telling applicants who appear to qualify for
Medicaid to contact a separate agency,
Oregon insists its exchange must be a one-
stop shop for both Medicaid and private
insurance. The state also wants its exchange
to eventually be able to help enroll people
in a wide array of public-assistance pro-
grams, not just health care.
Exchange leaders stuck with their plan
even as risk consultants warned repeatedly
that they were in danger of missing the Oct.
1 deadline to launch.
We wont know whether we made the
right decisions until our system is up and
running, said Amy Fauver, chief communi-
cations ofcer for Cover Oregon. But were
going forward in the way we feel we can best
serve Oregonians.
Exchange ofcials say they havent fully
launched their website because their soft-
ware still cant accurately determine whether
applicants are eligible for Medicaid or the
Childrens Health Insurance Program, par-
ticularly for people with complex family
arrangements.
Kitzhaber, a Democrat, has pledged that
the problems wont interfere with our
objective of making sure that every
Oregonian that wants to be enrolled by the
start of the new year is, in fact, enrolled.
Oregon does have one big success to brag
about. The state has enrolled 70,000 people
in Medicaid, reducing the ranks of the unin-
sured by more than 10 percent. The large
number of Medicaid enrollments came in
large part thanks to a fast-track enroll-
ment process approved by the Obama
administration. Using income data already
on le, the state mailed a simple seven-
question Medicaid enrollment form to peo-
ple in the Supplemental Nutritional
Assistance Program who qualify for health
coverage under the federal health laws
expansion of Medicaid.
Pressure is growing on exchange ofcials
to fix the problems. U.S. Rep. Kurt
Schrader, a moderate Democrat who took
heat after voting for the health care law,
released a sharply worded statement on
Friday demanding that the exchange and its
main contractor, Oracle, make it work.
The implementation of Oregons health
insurance marketplace has been abysmal,
Schrader said. The current situation is com-
pletely unacceptable, and I expect much
more from a state with a reputation for being
an innovator in the eld of health care.
HEALTH
Center said community and religious groups
met with researchers and were interested.
But study rules restricted which deaths were
eligible, and researchers had just 20 minutes
to get initial family permission. In six
months, nine deaths were considered but
didnt qualify, often because the deceased
hadnt previously registered as an organ
donor, Wall said. New York is among states
with low donor registration rates.
Walls team is considering trying again
with lungs, because of the longer time win-
dow.
Lung cells dont depend on blood ow for
oxygen, Egan explained. When the heart
stops beating, they use what oxygen is left
in the air sacs and airways.
For how long? In a series of experiments
with animals, Egan showed lungs stay
viable for an hour, or four hours if they are
ventilated, before theyre cooled to await
transplant.
That ventilation is one key to the $4 mil-
lion, three-year study, because when emer-
gency workers exhaust attempts at CPR and
declare someone dead, they typically leave
behind the breathing tube inserted in the
persons throat. That makes it simple to
restart ventilation to preserve the lungs,
Egan said.
If we can get the lungs ventilated within
an hour, and then removed within an hour or
two and cooled, we think theyll work just
ne, he said.
Kidneys dont have as long a survival
window. But in Michigan, Punch has a sim-
ilar preservation plan: Insert a few tubes
near the kidneys to lter blood to them until
theyre recovered.
Fast retrieval isnt the only issue.
Surgeons dont know if nontraditional
organs work as well, cautioned Dr. Bryan
Meyers of Washington University School
of Medicine in St. Louis.
Chest X-rays and other in-hospital donor
testing determine the quality of todays tra-
ditionally donated lungs.
This trial is very timely and very perti-
nent, Meyers said, to see if testing in that
domed machine could substitute for that
hospital track record.
Egan notes that lung disease is the
nations third-leading killer. He says the
untapped pool of potential donors who die
outside of the hospital could expand trans-
plants signicantly.
There are huge logistical hurdles, he
said. But if were right, this would have a
profound impact on the number of lungs
that are available for transplant.

Princeton University to give
students meningitis B vaccine
PRINCETON, N.J. Princeton
University officials decided Monday to
make available a meningitis vaccine that
hasnt been approved in the U.S. to stop the
spread of the sometimes deadly disease on
campus.
The university said doses of the vaccine
for the type B meningococcal bacteria are to
be available in December for undergraduate
students, graduate students who live in
dorms and university employees who have
sickle cell disease and other medical condi-
tions that make them more susceptible to
meningitis. Follow-up doses then will be
available in February.
The university said the plan was recom-
mended by the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
The vaccinations are to be paid for by the
university and arent mandatory. Ofcials
say theyre most effective in two doses.
Since March, seven cases of meningitis
have been conrmed on the New Jersey cam-
pus with six students and a visitor diag-
nosed, the most recent last week. None of
the cases has been fatal.
Last week, the federal Food and Drug
Administration approved importing the
vaccine, Bexsero, for possible use at the
Ivy League university. Princeton
spokesman Martin Mbugua said university
officials considered a number of factors
before deciding to move ahead with the
plan, but he declined to say what those fac-
tors were.
The CDC says the outbreak at Princeton is
the first in the world since the vaccine
against the type B meningococcal bacteria
was approved in Europe and Australia this
year, the only one for use against the strain.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2013
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Opportunity knocks,
and the chance to put your skills to work for you will
result in rewards. Cover up for any emotional mishap
that might slow down the process of advancement.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Look at whats
happening around you, but think twice before you leap
into action. Stick close to home and focus on personal
options and self-improvement, not changing others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Dont feel obligated
to pay for others mistakes. Put more into your own
work and take care of nancial and contractual
interests that will improve your position.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Listen, but dont
agree to do what everyone else wants. Make a
required decision based on your emotional needs. Only
you know whats best for you. Choose your destiny.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You may face
emotional interference if you share too many of your
ideas and intentions with others. Be discreet and
determined to follow through with your plans.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may feel the need to
address issues that are bothering you, but be prepared
to deal with disapproval. Someone will meddle in your
affairs if you share too much information.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Do your research
and base any decision regarding money, health or
contractual issues on facts and gures. Someone with
a vested interest is likely to use emotional blackmail.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A challenge is best left
alone. Minor mishaps or injury will occur if you arent
cautious. Realize your potential and stick to what you
are capable of doing.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Leap into action. There
is much you can accomplish if you put your mind to it.
Getting involved in activities or events that promote
your skills will lead to an unusual proposal.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Explore areas of interest.
Dont feel you have to take care of someone elses
concerns. Let your desires dictate what you do next.
A change will do you good.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Follow through with your
plans, even if someone throws an emotional wrench
into the mix. Its up to you to stick to your laurels and
refuse to let anyone interfere with your happiness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Check out different
cultures and philosophies. You will get peace of
mind knowing you are on the right track spiritually,
educationally or emotionally. Protect your assets.
