Filoli tweaks volunteer agreement

Agency provides opt-out for liability clause after controversy
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Volunteers at the Filoli Center will

be able to opt-out of a release of liability clause that sparked a bit of rebellion at the bucolic country estate over
the past two weeks.
A letter was sent to volunteers
Thursday from Filoli Governing Board
President Toni Barrack about the rollout of a volunteer agreement and the
surrounding controversy it caused.
More than half of the volunteers

have already signed the agreement that

releases Filoli from liability for injury
or other damages while they work at
the country estate.
But in Barracks letter, he writes:
After considerable discussion and
input from our advisers, the Governing
Board has approved the opportunity
for volunteers to opt-out of the release
clause by crossing out and initialing
this clause when signing the agreement. Those who have already signed
the agreement will be given the opportunity to re-sign, crossing out this

clause if they desire.

The letter was sent in response to the
National
Trust
for
Historic
Preservation, which owns the gardens
and house in Woodside that the Filoli
Center operates, said Cynthia
DAgosta, Filolis executive director.
The trust wanted to step back and

Defense attorney accuses DA of vendetta

Claims prosecution of sheriffs deputy is retaliation while DA says its nonsense
By Scott Morris
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

The attorney for a San Mateo

County sheriffs deputy accused last
year in a jail smuggling case and last
week in a new case involving embezzlement and fraud accused San Mateo
County District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe of bringing a personal
vendetta against his client.
Juan Pablo Lopez, 51, was charged
last November with allowing two
corrections officers to smuggle cellphones and drugs to an inmate in the
Redwood City jail between April and
December 2013.
Last week, Wagstaffe filed new
charges against Lopez accusing him
of committing fraud during a campaign for sheriff last year, embezzling campaign funds and filing false
documents in an attempt to profit off
of homes he owns in Newark and
Redwood City.
But Lopezs attorney, Stuart
Hanlon, said Thursday he thinks the
two cases against his client are retaliation for Lopezs unsuccessful bid
for sheriff last year. Lopez lost by a
landslide to Sheriff Greg Munks,
only collecting 1.4 percent of the
vote.
I think these charges are retaliation, this whole set of cases against
him are retaliation, Hanlon said. He
said Wagstaffe has a close relationship with Munks and is bringing the
cases due to a personal vendetta.
This is really a misuse of the legal
system, Hanlon said. He said he
intends to file a motion to recuse the
district attorneys office so the state
Attorney Generals Office can prosecute.
But Wagstaffe said Hanlons allega-

tions of retaliatory
prosecutions
are
nonsense.
I certainly have
known
Sheriff
Munks for many
years, but thats no
basis to recuse my
office, he said,
adding he also had a
Juan Lopez
friendly relationship with Lopez when he was a
deputy.
To claim that somehow this is a
political prosecution based on my
friendship with the sheriff is something that comes out of fantasy
land, Wagstaffe said. Its not based
in any fact.
Wagstaffe said Munks would not be
a witness in the case and that he has
no intention of prosecuting the case
himself.
Lopez
pleaded
not
guilty
Wednesday to the new charges related
to his finances and campaign for
sheriff, prosecutors said Thursday.
Many of the charges stem from
whether Lopez lived in Newark or
Redwood City. He owned homes in
both cities but prosecutors allege
that Lopez continued to live in
Newark while his fiancee, Evelyn
Segura-Chavez, 34, lived in the
condo, where she operated a child
care facility, according to Wagstaffe.
The alleged fraud began in 2013,
when Lopez, Segura-Chavez, and a
county employee Lopez had met
while working at the jail, 47-year-old
Christopher John ODell, conspired
to overestimate water damage to the
Newark residence to bilk Lopezs
insurance company out of thousands
of dollars, according to a criminal
complaint filed against the three

defendants.
Then in July
2013, Lopez set
out to refinance the
Redwood
City
condo,
which
required it to be his
primary residence.
He and ODell
allegedly prepared
Steve
false documents
Wagstaffe
indicating Lopez
was living in Redwood City and renting his Newark home to his cousin,
according to the complaint.
However, prosecutors allege Lopez
continued to live in Newark.
Whether he lived in Redwood City
or Newark would become an issue
again the following year, when he
declared his candidacy for sheriff and
voted in a local election. Prosecutors
allege he lied about his residency and
was not legally eligible to do either.
While running for office, Lopez and
Segura-Chavez, acting as his campaign treasurer, allegedly embezzled
campaign funds for personal use,
prosecutors said.
Prosecutors have charged Lopez
with three counts of conspiracy, two
counts of filing false documents, one
count of fraud, two counts of perjury,
one count of embezzlement and two
counts of election fraud.
ODell is charged in two of the conspiracy counts. Segura-Chavez is
charged with one count of conspiracy
and one count of embezzlement.
All three defendants pleaded not
guilty to the charges against them in
the court of Judge Richard Livermore
on Wednesday. Lopez is out of custody on a $170,000 bail bond and

A rescued California sea lion pup looks up from her holding pen at Sea World San Diego.

More sick sea lion pups washing up

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Four times more sick

and dying sea lion pups have gotten stranded on California beaches this year, and
experts say unusually warm ocean water
along the West Coast is to blame.
Officials with the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric
Administration
said
Wednesday about 940 sick and starving
young sea lions have washed up on
California beaches so far in 2015.
That compares to about 225 sea lion
strandings that officials normally would see
between January and April, said Justin
Viezbicke, NOAA stranding coordinator for
the West Coast region. Roughly 540 sea
lion pups are being treated at rehabilitation
centers between San Diego and San
Francisco.
Scientists say warmer coastal waters are

forcing nursing mothers in the Channel

Islands or Mexico to head out farther for
food, leaving behind their young for longer
than the normal two or four days. An estimated 300,000 sea lions live from the
Mexican border to Washington state.
NOAA Climatologist Nate Mantua said the
warming is likely a historical record for the
northeast Pacific and the West Coast. The
ocean is between 2 and 5 degrees warmer for
this time of year due to the same high-pressure system that has the state in its fourth
year of drought.
This is the third year that an exceptional
number of pups have stranded or died.
In 2013, more than 1,500 sea lions died
in California, according to NOAA figures,
leading officials to declare an unusual mortality event for the species. Last year, 621
pups or yearlings washed ashore on beaches.

The two alleged gangmembers arrested

over the weekend for the shooting death of a
19-year-old man on a San Mateo overpass
were charged Thursday with crimes that
could lead to life sentences, according to the
District Attorneys Office.
Daniel Nau, 19, and Jose Ramirez, 19,
both of San Mateo, face charges of premeditated attempted murder with gang enhancements, felony assault with a deadly weapon
and personal use of a firearm.
Nau is charged with personally firing the
weapon that struck the victim Friday
evening on the Peninsula Avenue overpass
at Highway 101 in San Mateo. The gang
enhancement could lead to a lifetime behind
bars, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Ramirez was arrested Saturday with the
assistance of the Daly City and South San
Francisco police departments when he was
seen walking just a short distance away from
his girlfriends residence, according to

police.
North County Regional SWAT Team was
called to execute a valid search warrant
Sunday at a residence in Oakland where Nau
was thought to be hiding and he was taken
into custody later that morning, surrendering without incident, according to police.
On Friday, police began receiving multiple calls of shots fired around 4:40 p.m. and
found the victim suffering from two gunshot
wounds.
The victim, a San Mateo resident, was
found on the south sidewalk near the center
of the overpass and was semi-conscious as
he was transferred to the hospital, according
to police. He was allegedly struck by bullets
once in the back and once in the hip.
The victim is alive and doing fine,
Wagstaffe said.

California refinery unit was

TORRANCE A California oil refinery
unit that was damaged by an explosion was
already offline for unplanned maintenance
when the fire occurred, industry analysts said
Thursday.
The so-called fluid catalytic cracker unit

California-grade fuel.

The unit had been offline for two days

because of problems when a different piece
of equipment exploded, said the Oil Price
Information Service, which tracks the oil
industry.
The blast at the plant about 20 miles south
of downtown Los Angeles caused a fire that

Healthy diet report: Sugary

drinks out; coffee, eggs in
By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON An extra cup

or two of coffee may be OK after
all. More eggs, too. But you definitely need to drink less sugary
soda. And, as always, dont forget
your vegetables.
Recommendations
Thursday
from a government advisory committee call for an environmentally
friendly diet lower in red and
processed meats. But the panel
would reverse previous guidance
on limiting dietary cholesterol.
And it says the caffeine in a few
cups of coffee could actually be
good for you.
The committee also is backing
off stricter limits on salt, though
it says Americans still get much
too much. Its recommending the
first real limits on added sugar,
saying thats especially a problem
for young people.
The Agriculture and Health and
Human Services Departments will
take those recommendations into
account in writing final 2015
dietary guidelines by the end of

the year. The guidelines affect

nutritional patterns throughout
the country from federally subsidized school lunches to food
package labels to your doctors
advice.
Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack said it is by no means
over with the release of the
report. The government will take
comments on the advice before
distilling it and possibly
changing it into final guidelines for consumers.
Even with the changes, the
report sticks to the basic message
of the previous guidelines in
2010: Eat more fruit and vegetables and whole grains; eat less saturated fats, salt and sugar.

EGGS ARE OK
The report says dietary cholesterol now is not considered a
nutrient of concern for overconsumption. This follows increasing medical research showing the
amount of cholesterol in your
bloodstream is more complicated
than once thought.
The committee says available

A government panel says there is strong evidence that 3 to 5 cups of coffee a day can be part of a healthy diet,
and theres consistent evidence that its even associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
evidence shows no appreciable
relationship between heart disease and how much dietary cholesterol you eat, but it still recommends eating less saturated fat. As
in previous years, the report

advises limiting saturated fats to

10 percent of total calories.
The panel doesnt give a specific recommendation for how much
cholesterol or eggs a person
may eat.

WATCH THE ADDED SUGAR

Added sugars should be around
200 calories a day about the

Ofisa Nuu Pele of Daly City

pleaded no contest last month to
robbery,
attempted robbery,
threats, kidnapping and grand theft
in exchange for the 15-year sentence, according to the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Office.

He and a juvenile accomplice put

on black masks and approached
the two victims as they walked to
their car the night of May 28.
They threatened the victims by
simulating a gun with a stick of
deodorant.
The two victims had no money,
so they took the womans cell-

phone and then made them drive to

an ATM and forced the woman to
withdraw $40, all the money she
had in her account, prosecutors
said.
They then forced the victims to
drive them back and drop them off,
while Pele apologized and told
them his mother had just died,

according to prosecutors.
Police connected Pele and his
accomplice to the robbery after
they were arrested for the unrelated
beating and robbery of another
victim to steal his backpack,
according to prosecutors. Pele
then admitted to police he committed the May 28 robbery.

Superbug outbreak raises questions about medical tool

By Alicia Chang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES A superbug outbreak

suspected in the deaths of two Los Angeles
hospital patients is raising disturbing questions about the design of a hard-to-clean medical instrument used on more than half a million people in the U.S. every year.
At least seven people two of whom died
have been infected with a potentially
lethal, antibiotic-resistant strain of bacteria
after undergoing endoscopic procedures at
Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center
between October and January. More than 170
other patients may also have been exposed,
university officials said.
The infections may have been transmitted
through at least two contaminated endoscopes that were used to diagnose and treat
pancreatic and bile-duct problems. The
instruments were found to have embedded
infections even though they had been sterilized according to manufacturer instructions,
said Dr. Robert Cherry, UCLA Health
Systems chief medical and quality officer.
Five other devices were cleared.
Hospital officials said they immediately
removed contaminated medical devices
blamed for the outbreak and adopted more
stringent sterilization techniques.

Infections
of
carbapenem-resistant
Enterobacteriaceae, or CRE, have been
reported at hospitals around the country, and
some have been linked to a type the endoscopes at UCLA. The duodenoscope is a thin,
flexible fiber-optic tube that is inserted down
the throat to enable a doctor to examine an
organ. It typically has a light and a miniature
camera.
Doctors first discovered the problem in
mid-December when a patient underwent an
endoscopic procedure and developed an infection that couldnt be treated with antibiotics.
An investigation was launched and doctors
employed high-tech techniques to find other
cases a process that took several weeks,
said Dr. Zachary Rubin, medical director of
clinical epidemiology and infection prevention. t was determined that CRE infections
had been passed on from one source case
patient between Oct. 3 and Jan. 28, Rubin
said.

Covered California sends out 100,000 inaccurate tax forms

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias health

exchange apologized Thursday for sending
about 100,000 incorrect tax forms last
month to people who purchased private coverage, a mistake that could delay tax filings
or force households to amend their taxes.
Covered California acknowledged that it
sent out inaccurate coverage information on
1095-A forms and is in the process of sending out revised forms, said spokesman James

Scullary. In all, the state sent out 800,000

forms for the first time this year.
We certainly apologized for any inconvenience, Scullary said. Its all a new
process and this is the first year theres a
connection between health care and taxes.
The mistake brings another headache for
people struggling to understand the new tax
penalties. The federal health care reform law
requires most people to have insurance or
face a tax penalty that increases each year.
The penalty for a person who makes

$40,000 a year will increase from $299 in

2014 to nearly $600 in 2015. And a family
of four with that same income would see fines
increase from $500 to nearly $1,000.
The exchange said many of the mistakes
on the tax forms were related to number of
months a household had coverage. For example, the 1095-A form may have stated that a
family had coverage from April through
September, but the family was covered from
April through October.
The state sent email and postcard notices

to people who received the incorrect forms

to let them know they would be receiving
new forms. All updated forms should be sent
out in the next few weeks, Scullary said.
Anyone who received a wrong tax form but
has already filed their tax return is being
advised to consult a tax professional.
Consumers have complained about poor
customer service, difficulty making changes,
as well as trouble getting or dropping coverage since the online marketplace launched in
October 2013.

Ridding San Carlos of driveway spam

By Cameron Johnson

t a recent charity event, a San

Carlos resident told me he had
only one policy request: to stop
the unsolicited delivery of the San
Francisco Examiner.
For years, the Examiner has delivered
newspapers throughout San Carlos, and
ignored repeated cancellation requests.
After calling and emailing the Examiner
(to no avail) I agged down a delivery man
early one Sunday morning to ask that he
remove me from the distribution list. He
told me what I had always suspected
there is no list. He promised to remember
my house, and for a brief period no paper
was delivered, but within a few weeks it was
back.
After dozens of complaints, and no end
in sight, it is time for the City Council to
take action. I am pleased to report that on
Monday night the City Council will vote

on an ordinance that will

require newspaper publishers to honor stop
delivery requests.
Unsolicited newspapers exist primarily to
deliver advertising and
are viewed by most as a
nuisance, akin to email
spam or telemarketing.
While federal law allows Americans to optout of telemarketing and spam lists, no
such remedy is available for unwanted
newspapers.
Unsolicited newspapers also pose a public safety risk. While on vacation, residents can have their mail held at the post
ofce. But unwanted newspapers just pile
up, giving notice to would-be burglars that
residents are away.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly,
these newspapers are wasteful. Each year,
over 300,000 unsolicited newspapers are
delivered in San Carlos, many sheathed in
plastic bags. They create litter, clog storm

Guest
perspective
drains and require disposal at public
expense.
The proposed San Carlos ordinance would
set up a do-not-deliver list. It would prohibit delivery of unsolicited newspapers to
those on the list or those who request cancellation in writing, by email or by posting a sign. Failure to comply with such a
request would be punishable by a ne.
The ood of marketing pushed on us
these days can be intrusive, wasteful and
annoying. But I want the people of San
Carlos to know that, in at least one case,
their home can be an advertising-free zone.
Cameron Johnson is the v ice may or of San
Carlos.

Letters to the editor

The source of negativity
Editor,
Many of the Belmont City Council supporters have labeled any questioning of the
councils proposed drastic zoning changes
as negativity. In response, I wrote the
following:
Sadly, there are political supporters of
elected ofcials who blindly agree 100 percent with those ofcials actions, and cry
negativity when anyone challenges any
of the ofcials plans or actions.
Pointing out the possible negative unintended consequences of the Belmont City
Councils proposal is not negativity.
Questioning if the councils actions are
legal and consistent with the General Plan
is not negativity; it is simply a request for
the council to explain and defend its
plans/decisions with facts and evidence,
and respond to the questions of the residents of Belmont who will be affected by
those decisions.
Negativity is the refusal of residents to
evaluate the veracity of an article or provide relevant feedback. Negativity is dismissing the facts in an article simply
because the authors name is not listed.
Negativity is the council continuing to
implement its own agenda and ignoring the
voters wishes, questions, suggestions and
outcries.

Joseph A. Brennan
Belmont

ers get feedback from the City Council

before designing housing projects that
require a zoning change. Previous
Gatekeeper meetings have been disasters
for the council and developers. The proposal to repurpose the Edgewater Shopping
Center became the poster child for how to
ignite the ire of the citizenry. We cannot
remember when more people attempted to
attend a City Council meeting. And, now,
the Marina Project is about to go before the
council. History is about to repeat itself.
The developer has prepared three separate
submittals to the city since December. It is
difcult to follow all the changes. The
developer has mistakenly relied on the city
to inform the public that he has scaled back
the project. The story the developer wants
to tell simply has not gotten out.
A coalition of citizen groups opposes the
project, fueled by all of the residential
building going up throughout the city and
most recently, the City Council passage of
a Housing Element that will entitle builders
to cram additional units into four apartment
buildings in the city.
With an election looming, and residents
up in arms, councilmembers are signaling
they will not vote for any more housing.
Though the council is merely responding
to a developer request and will not be taking a vote, citizens see the council as
responsible for encouraging the Marina
project.
This is the political atmosphere that the
developer is being asked to step into when
he appears before the City Council Feb.
23. We predict the meeting is going to be a
sham, and unfair to all.

Hazards of rent control

Editor,
How does one group of people who do
not own property think that they have the
right to tell people who do own property
how much they can charge for rent? (Rent
control ordinance urged in the Feb. 17 edition of the Daily Journal).
Affordable housing advocates are now
trying to bring their socialist views of rent
control into San Mateo County with recent
protests and marches. The idea of getting
local governments to limit the rights of
property owners is something that should
be vehemently opposed. I know most liberals would disagree with me, but the fact
that you cant afford to live in your apartment is not a problem for government to
x. It is the single mother of three children
protesting she cant survive in the Bay
Area working for minimum wage. She
believes it is the governments responsibility to assist her by limiting the rights
of private property owners? Its not the
fact that this woman had three kids without
a source of income to support them, she
now demands taxpayers and property owners subsidize her by chanting Si, se puede
on the steps of our county courthouse.
I assure you that there will be many property owners ready and willing to ght any
hint of rent control in San Mateo County.
As more and more of these protests occur in
our cities and county, there will be pressure
on our local governments to do something.
Keep an eye on your local ofcials as they
bend to liberal pressure and attempt to
sneak in legislation limiting the rights of
property owners.

Police and mental

health training

oo often police standoffs with people needing mental health assistance end in tragedy. That has been
the case in San Mateo County with two
recent police shootings in Half Moon Bay
and Pacica.
Many cases of ofcer-involved shootings are related to mental health situations
and attention has been ramped up in recent
years and months on how best to address
the number of those cases, along with the
tragic trend of suicide by cop.
On Feb. 4, in San Mateo, an armed man
distraught over nances was in his 19th
Avenue/Park neighborhood home and
threatened harm to
himself and potentially others. The incident
unfolded after the
mans family alerted
police to his situation
and responding ofcers were able to contain the activity to his
house while securing
the neighborhood.
What happened next
could have gone sideways quickly if not for a concerted multifaceted effort coordinated by San Mateo
police. According to San Mateo Police Chief
Susan Manheimer, the man pointed his gun
at several police ofcers and, at any time, a
police shooting would have been justiable.
But rather than react to the immediate threat,
police called in several resources available
to them while continuing to negotiate with
the man to surrender peacefully.
Many police ofcers have undergone
Crisis Intervention Training, which they
use in talking to those dealing with a mental health crisis. That was deployed in this
situation, and police also called for assistance from the San Mateo County SMART
van, which is a program developed by the
San Mateo County Health System and
American Medical Response with a specially trained paramedic who can assist in mental health assessment. In this particular
case, the SMART van liaison was able to
connect with the mans mental health professional and get information that would
assist in de-escalating the situation. In
addition, San Mateo police also had on
scene its own negotiators who have special
training in dealing with hostage situations
or standoffs. It was that trio of resources
that enabled police to keep the negotiations going until a resolution was reached
after nearly six hours, Manheimer said.
The main goal was to get people with
mental health expertise to the scene and
keep the man talking, Manheimer said.
He didnt want to die. He loved his family and he wanted to nd his way out,
Manheimer said.
Rather than take the man away in handcuffs, part of the negotiation was to have
him walk out to the liaison who provided
him with immediate mental health treatment.
He was still charged with attempted assault
with a deadly weapon because he pointed his
gun at ofcers, Manheimer said, adding that
she hopes he is still able to get the ongoing
treatment he needs.
We were pretty darn proud that day. At any
moment it could go sideways, she said. It
was six hours of drama, but we saved a life.
While this incident ended without a death,
every situation, when it comes to police, is
often dramatically different than the next.
Manheimer points to situations in which
police ofcers have been charged with a
knife and have been under re while still
trying to maintain negotiations.
While the Feb. 4 case ended successfully,
another situation may not. Still, having
mental health resources available and called
upon in standoff situations is a positive
development and should be employed whenever possible. Lives will be saved and families will be left unshattered.
And to those ofcers who resisted shooting even while having a gun pointed at
them, your bravery should not go unnoticed.

Wealth
Management
Research.
Growth is solid, but not spectacular,
and most importantly, not stoking
high levels of inflation.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
ended the day down 2.23 points, or
0.11 percent, at 2,097.45. The index
is still within a fraction of the all-

time high of 2,100.34 reached on

Tuesday.
The index has gained 5.1 percent in
February. If it holds those gains
through the end of the month, it
would be the strongest performance
since October 2011.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 44.08 points, or 0.2 percent,
to 17,985.77.
The price of oil fell, though it
regained some of its losses when the
Energy Department reported that the
growth in supplies was less than
expected. Benchmark U.S. crude fell
98 cents to close at $51.16 a barrel in
New York. Brent crude, a benchmark
for international oils used by many
U.S. refineries, fell 32 cents to close
at $60.21 in London.
Technology stocks were among the
days gainers. The sector has outperformed the broader market since the
start of the year and the tech-heavy
Nasdaq composite has gained 6.2 percent this month.
On Thursday, the index rose 18.34
points, or 0.4 percent, to 4,924.70.
It was the seventh straight gain for
the index, its longest streak of gains
since last February.
Investors are favoring technology
stocks because they offer better
growth prospects than the overall
market, said Zirin of UBS.

Consumer-oriented tech companies

such as Apple should benefit as lower
gas prices leave more money in consumers pockets, he said. Businesses
are also likely to increase investments in technology.
Priceline was the biggest gainer in
the S&P 500. The stock jumped
$95.06, or 8.5 percent, to $1,218 as
an increase in bookings helped the
online travel company beat analysts
expectations.
In Europe, Greeces government
asked to extend its rescue loan agreement by six months in order to give it
and the eurozone more time to hash
out a longer, permanent deal.
However, Greece held back on offering to extend a series of budget cuts

required since 2010 in exchange for
loans. Greece says that the measures
have devastated its economy. The 19

Half-million of Wal-Marts U.S. workers to get pay raises

By Anne DInnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BENTONVILLE, Ark. Wal-Mart Stores

Inc. is hoping its decision to boost workers paychecks will help it boost its bottom
line.
The nations largest private employer
announced on Thursday that its giving a
raise to about half-million U.S. workers as
part of a $1 billion investment that includes
changes that Wal-Mart says are aimed at
giving workers more opportunities for
advancement and more consistent schedules.
The changes come as the company has
faced increased pressure to pay its hourly
employees more. But Wal-Mart, which has

been criticized for its messy stores and poor

customer service, says its also focusing on
recruiting and retaining better workers so
that it can improve its business.
The company has struggled with disappointing sales for most of the past two
years, even though it posted better-thanexpected results during the most recent holiday season. Wal-Mart hopes that taking
better care of its workers will lead to betterrun stores, more satisfied customers and an
increase in sales and profits.
Whats driving us is we want to create a
great store experience for customers and do
that by investing in our own people, Doug
McMillon, Wal-Marts CEO, told the
Associated Press during an interview two
days ahead of the wage announcement at the
companys headquarters in Bentonville,

Arkansas. A better store experience results

in happier customers, resulting in stronger
sales.
Wal-Marts changes indicate that it is
moving beyond relying on its hallmark
everyday low prices to make it stand out in
an increasingly crowded and competitive
retail landscape and moving toward investing in its workers. The company had previously cut back on staffing in stores two
years ago in an effort to be more efficient.
But the moves have backfired. Morale
among workers was low at stores, employees werent able to quickly restock items on
shelves and shoppers came to expect
unkempt stores. Wal-Marts U.S. business,
which accounts for 60 percent of its net
sales of $482 billion, had declines or no
growth for the past eight quarters. And an

Yahoo seeks ad revenue from other mobile apps

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo is giving

away a toolkit for managing mobile
apps in a move aimed at reaping more
revenue from smartphones and tablets
as CEO Marissa Mayer scrambles to
catch up to the Internet companys
rivals.
The strategy will enable Yahoo Inc.
to distribute ads in other mobile apps
besides its own. Besides that, Yahoo
also is trying to plant its search
engine inside other apps so it can display ads alongside the results.
Although the technology is free,
Yahoo would keep 40 percent of all ad

sales made in other apps.

Yahoo announced the expansion
Thursday at its first conference for the
makers of mobile applications.
Mayer described the extension of
Yahoos mobile platform as a fork
point in her effort to make the Internet
company an even bigger player on
smartphones and tablets. Yahoo really
fell behind the times in the evolution of
mobile, she told reporters and analysts Thursday. I feel like we have really caught up now.
The company generated $768 million
in mobile revenue last year. That
amount lags far behind mobile ad leaders Google and Facebook, both of
whom already run wide-reaching mobile

ad networks that deliver promotions to

other digital services besides their own.
Powered by its dominant search
engine, Google Inc. held a 37 percent
share of the U.S. mobile ad market at
the end of last year with social networking leader Facebook Inc. at 18 percent,
according to the research firm
eMarketer Inc. Yahoos share stood at 3
percent, a gap that mirrors the same
problems that the company has faced
competing against Google and
Facebook for digital ad sales on personal computers for the past eight years.
Mayer, who helped build Google into
a powerhouse, pledged to turn things
around when Yahoo hired her as its CEO
two-and-a-half years ago.

FDA issues warning as peanuts found in cumin spice

By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Hundreds of products are being pulled from store shelves

after traces of peanut were found in
ground cumin spice a life-threatening danger to some people with peanut
allergies.
The recall has been ongoing since
December, as more retailers identify
products that contain the cumin. The
Food and Drug Administration is now
warning all people with peanut aller-

gies to avoid cumin and products that

contain cumin.
While such large allergy-related
recalls are rare, undeclared allergens
like peanuts are the leading cause of
food recalls in the United States. That
can be very unsettling to people who
are keeping a close watch on what they
or their children eat, since food allergies can be a matter of life or death.
You might do all of the things you
are supposed to do and read the label,
but there could still be undeclared allergens, says Dr. Michael Pistiner, a

Boston-based pediatric allergist. Its

challenging to know that and still feel
comfortable. Pistiner says he sees the
recalls as low-risk, since often the
amount of the undeclared allergen is
very small. But the highest risk is to
our comfort, he says.
According to the group Food Allergy
Research and Education, or FARE, 15
million Americans have food allergies,
including 1 in 13 children. Eight foods
account for more than 90 percent of the
allergies peanuts, tree nuts, milk,
eggs, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish.

annual survey by the American Customer

Satisfaction Index, which polled 70,000
customers, found that Wal-Marts customer
satisfaction fell to the lowest level since
2007.
The stores are understaffed, said
Anthony Rodriguez, who has been pulled to
do different jobs from being a bike assembler to sales floor associate at the Wal-Mart
Rosemead, California, because of low
staffing. Often, there is nobody in a
department. A lot of customers get upset.
McMillon, whose first job at Wal-Mart
was an hourly position loading trucks during college, acknowledged that some measures the company took to cut staff and other
moves to increase productivity may have
gone too far. But he says Wal-Mart has
learned from its mistakes.

Lincecum calls
up his past to
help his future
By Jose Romero
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Tim

Lincecum decided that the best way
to regain the form that led to two
NL Cy Young Awards was to
acknowledge father knows best.
And that wasnt easy.
Lincecum enters his ninth season with the San Francisco Giants
projected as the No. 5 starter this
year. To earn that spot, hell have
to show hes fixed his complicated
mechanics and
put
behind
three straight
seasons
of
ERAs
over
4.00.
In search of
a n s we r s ,
Li n cecum
returned home
Tim Lincecum to
suburban
Seattle in the
offseason and worked with his
father. Chris Lincecum put his son
on a throwing regimen of 50 sessions. And Tim let his hair grow
long again.
Its a total 180 for me. Ive
never gotten after it like that in an
offseason before, throwing as
often as I did, as rigorously as I
did, Lincecum said Wednesday at
the Giants spring training camp.
I didnt feel like my mechanics
were in a place where I could rely
on them. Theyve been kind of out
of whack for a while now.
Lincecum also rebuilt a relationship with dad. They had not been
so close in recent years.
Admitting both are stubborn,
Lincecum realized he needed his
father to help his career and said it
was freeing and humbling to open
up with Chris. After going 49-22
from 2008-10 and helping the
Giants to their first title since
1954, Lincecum found it hard to
explain a bad outing to his dad,
who taught him how to pitch.
Hes always been the one that
kind of reaffirmed, re-ignites that
idea of our mechanics, Lincecum
said. I went to him. That was
tough. Its like a kid with a bad
report card saying I tried to do it
on my own. And theyre there to
remind you that its never going to

be that way. Im just going to hear

him out and know where hes coming from is a place of being a
father and caring and also being
scared, too.
Despite throwing a no-hitter for
the second straight season,
Lincecum pitched so poorly in the
second half last year that the
Giants moved the four-time AllStar to the bullpen for the second
time in three postseasons. He
made just one postseason appearance.
Lincecum wasnt among the
Giants pitchers who threw bullpen
sessions Thursday as the World
Series champions returned to the
field for the first day of workouts
for pitchers and catchers.
Chris Lincecum is at spring
training along with his son, and
the two plan to continue to talk
pitching.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy
thinks Lincecum is primed to
bounce back after going 12-9 with
a 4.74 ERA.
The most important thing out
of this is its great to see he and
his dad back and getting reunited,
Bochy said. Im sure theres a
sense of comfort there with all the
time that his dad has spent with
him, and Timmys trying to get on
track. If his dad can help out, thats
great. Were all for it.
NOTES : Madison Bumgarner
threw his first bullpen session
since last season, when he pitched
five shutout innings to save Game
7 of the World Series and earned
the MVP award. Bochy joked that
Bumgarner wouldnt just be the
opening-day starter but is going
the second game, too. ... RHP
Matt Cain will not throw bullpens
every other day as he continues his
comeback from elbow and ankle
operations that cut short his 2014
season. ... Reliever Sergio Romo
is dealing with right shoulder soreness and wont throw as much
early in camp. We dont foresee
any major setback there, Bochy
said. . . . C Eli Whiteside, who
retired after turning down the offer
of a minor league contract from
Atlanta, will be the Giants
bullpen catcher this season. The
35-year-old was with the Giants
from 2009-12.

CSM wins 13th straight

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Another day, another walk-off

victory for the Lady Bulldogs.
College of San Mateo freshman
third baseman Harlee Donovan has
been the most prolific power hitter in the state this season. She
surged into the state lead in home
runs in style Thursday by blasting
a walk-off bomb to give the CSM
softball team a 10-0 mercy-rule
win over Ohlone in six innings at
Bulldog Field.
With CSM leading 7-0 in the
bottom of the sixth, Donovan
stepped to the plate with two on
and one out looking for a firstpitch fastball. When she got it,
she launched her seventh homer of
the year to set off another
Bulldogs celebration.
CSM sophomore catcher Lelani
Akai said she didnt have any
doubt Donovan would come
through. And she backed up the
statement. Akai led off the frame
with a one-out single then came
out of the game for courtesy runner
Lacie Crawford.
I didnt even put my gear back
on because I had that faith in her. I
knew she was going to hit something, Akai said.
Donovan and Akai share a special bond as two of the Bulldogs
sorority of catchers. Akai has been
the teams starting catcher since
last season when the team
advanced to the state final four.
So, with Donovan a lifelong
catcher arriving at CSM this
season, the freshman quickly made
a shift to third base.
While Donovan still catches
occasionally, and will likely be in
the mix for the starting backstop
job next season, she is making the
transition to the hot corner like a
natural. The CSM infield has committed just four errors through 13
games this season, with Donovan
tabbing a perfect 1.000 fielding
percentage thus far.
Shes doing great, CSM head
coach Nicole Borg said. Thats a
tough transition. Being on the
other side of the ball is tough, but
shes done a great job for us.
Akai has quickly put Donovan in
prestigious company, comparing
her to graduated slugger Natalie
Saucedo, who was CSMs co-home
run leader as a sophomore last season with 14.
Harlee is a beast, Akai said.
Shes a great kid and her bat
shes going to be another Natalie

Saucedo. She
hits the ball
just like her.
So, when shes
up to bat, its
like, we got
this.
The Bulldogs
(2-0 in Coast
Leilani Akai C o n f e r e n c e ,
13-0 overall)
have scored two key wins this
week to open Coast Conference
play, including Tuesdays 10-1
victory over De Anza. CSM is still
riding high after winning four
games in two days over the weekend to take over the No. 1 ranking
in the state.
Sundays wins over Sierra and
Mt. San Antonio were the two
most emotional games of the season for the Bulldogs, by far. CSM
went two-and-out at last years
state final four, with the losses
coming at the hands of Sierra and
Mt. San Antonio.
There were a lot of emotions
flowing for the sophomores that
came back from state last year,
Akai said. We wanted to beat
them. We wanted our revenge.
Them beating us in state, coming
to our house and playing against
us, it was like no, were going
to win here.
The 11-3 mercy-rule win over
then-No. 1 ranked Sierra was an
exclamation mark on a banner day.
But it was the Sunday opener
against No. 3 Mt. San Antonio
that proved the most dramatic
game of the year for the Bulldogs.
CSM tallied its lowest singlegame run total this season though
it proved enough in a 2-0 win.
Akais performance in the Mt.
San Antonio win is noteworthy,
despite going 0 for 3 at the plate.
The sophomore was on fire all
weekend, going 7 for 8 with three
home runs and nine RBIs in the
other three wins. Against Mt. San
Antonio, however, the Bulldogs
managed just three hits, including
a first-inning solo home run by
Kayleen Smith.
It was Akais presence behind
the plate that proved spectacular
though as she and starting pitcher
Lauren Berriatua hooked up for a
five-hit, complete-game shutout.
Defense is everything, Akai
said. Hits will come for me.
Batting third, thats a lot. Youre
supposed to drive in runs. But for
me, being a catcher being a
defender is equal to the offensive
side.

B e r r i a t ua s
win was her
fourth win of
the week, for

the baseball side, CSM catcher
Dylan Isquirdo was also honored
as the California Community

Association Player of the Week.
This week, Berriatua picked up
right where she left off. In
Tuesdays victory over De Anza,
the right-hander fired three perfect
innings while striking out eight.
Thursday, she notched a sixinning, one-hit shutout, recording
her first eight outs by way of
strikeout. She ultimately punched
out 11 in the game.
The CSM offense banged out 12
hits, with the biggest rally coming in the second inning. After
scratching out a run in the first,
Christy Peterson led off the second with a bolt double up the leftcenter gap. Then Kacy Edwards
drove a double off the left-field
wall to plate Peterson.
But the Bulldogs did not stop
there. With one out, Brittany
Wilkerson reached on an infield
error and Melina Rodriguez followed with a walk to load the
bases. After Edwards was thrown
out at home on a fielders choice
grounder off the bat of Smith, Akai
cashed in on a towering pop-up
that fell between the second baseman and right fielder on a I-got-it,
you-take-it single to clear the
bases, giving CSM a 5-0 lead.
CSM added on in the fourth.
Rodriguez opened the frame with
an infield single. Smith followed
with a bunt single but Rodriguez
was gunned down at third base trying to advance two bases on the
play. Akai then scorched a single
to left to drive home Smith.
Berriatua followed with an infield
single with pinch-runner Janelle
Rubio scoring on an infield error.
Akai was 3 for 4 with five RBIs
in the game. Berriatua improved
her record to 8-0, ranking second
in the state in wins. Her 0.17 ERA
in currently tops in the state.

Flurry at NBA trade deadline Bochy
mild heart
By Brian Mahoney

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Point guards moving quickly made this

trade deadline a transition game.
Goran Dragic, Michael Carter-Williams,
Reggie Jackson and Brandon Knight all
were dealt Thursday in the final hours that
trades were allowed, as a number of teams
handed their keys to different drivers.
Kevin Garnett also has a new address
his original NBA one. The Timberwolves
brought him back to Minnesota by sending
Thaddeus Young to Brooklyn.
There were so many players on the move in
deals agreed to shortly before the 3 p.m. EST
deadline that most of the transactions were
still awaiting NBA approval hours later.
Dragic and Jackson were two players to
watch on deadline day, because neither was
expected to remain with his team after this
season. Both their teams opted to move
them rather than risk losing them for nothing.
Phoenix sent Dragic to Miami, getting
two first-round picks and a package of players for the Slovenian, a third-team All-NBA
selection last season. The Suns filled his
spot by acquiring Knight from Milwaukee
in a three-team deal with Philadelphia,
which sent Carter-Williams to the Bucks.

Kerseys death linked to

blood clot that traveled to lungs
The state medical examiner says former
Portland Trail Blazers player Jerome Kersey
died from a blood clot that traveled from his

I did feel it was time to find a better fit,

Dragic wrote on Twitter, adding NOW its
(hash)heatnation time and Im excited to
bring the Dragons fire to Miami!!
Zoran Dragic, Gorans brother, also went
from Phoenix to Miami.
Jackson, who began the season replacing
an injured Russell Westbrook, now will step
in for the sidelined Brandon Jennings. The
Oklahoma City Thunder sent Jackson to
Detroit in a three-way trade that included
Utah.
Even backup point guards seemed in
demand, with players such as Isaiah Thomas
(Boston), Ramon Sessions (Washington),
Andre Miller (Sacramento), DJ Augustin
(Oklahoma City), Norris Cole (New
Orleans) and Pablo Prigioni (Houston) getting new homes.
Some big guys got in on the little guys
fun, with Enes Kanter getting his wish to
leave Utah when he ended up in Oklahoma
City as Kendrick Perkins replacement.
The flurry of moves ended a busy season
of swaps in which contenders such as
Cleveland, Memphis and Dallas refused to
wait for the last minute to get their dealing
done, having upgraded long ago.
Other teams had their chance Thursday,
and Portland may have done it with the first
completed deal of the day when it acquired

Arron Afflalo from Denver.

Arron is a proven winner with playoff
experience who will be easily integrated
into our culture, Blazers general manager
Neil Olshey said. He possesses a skill set
that complements our style of play on both
ends of the floor and will make an immediate impact as we continue our playoff push.
The 38-year-old Garnett spent his first 12
seasons in Minnesota, where he was nicknamed the Big Ticket. He guided the
Timberwolves to the only eight playoff
appearances in franchise history and won
the MVP while leading them to the Western
Conference finals in 2004. He waived his
no-trade clause to return, and the Wolves
will try to get him to stick around past his
20th season by offering him a two-year
extension in the offseason, a person with
knowledge of the teams thinking said.
The Nuggets have been one of those
teams where good individual talent added up
to a collective mess, so they broke it apart
Thursday. Portland acquired Afflalo in a fiveplayer deal, upgrading its bench with a
player averaging 14.5 points, while Denver
also sent JaVale McGee and a first-round
pick to Philadelphia. Were changing
things around because, obviously, we
werent good enough the way we were,
Nuggets coach Brian Shaw said.

Ciardella said he doesnt want to get into a
track meet.
Try to keep it slow, Ciardella said. We
want to be smart. We want to run under control. When you get into these kind of
games, half-court becomes paramount.
Running a half-court offense doesnt
mean the Knights have to pound it inside.
In fact, they would much rather bomb away
from outside.
What Ive heard about them (Hillsdale),
they like to put up a lot of 3-point shots,
Keough said. Were going to have to challenge the perimeter.
Which worries Keough the most. Long
shots mean long rebounds and Keough said
his team has struggled at times giving up
too many offensive boards, which he said is
simply a mindset. He said theyve had plenty of time to practice, considering a lot of
teams employ a style of play similar to
what Hillsdale presents.
We do run into that a lot (teams who
shoot a lot of 3s), Keough said. That has
challenged us as of late. At the same time,
were not working as hard as we can on the
defensive end to secure one-shot possessions for the other team.
The Rams will catch a huge break if
Hillsdales sophomore shooting guard

Raichel Tjan cant play Friday. Hillsdale

coach Mike Ciardella did not sound especially optimistic following Wednesdays
53-42 win over Terra Nova during which
Tjan sprained her ankle midway through the
first quarter.
Shes not going to play [Friday],
Ciardella said. She still cant put any
weight on it.
Tjan is the Knights best 3-point shooting option, having knocked down 43 this
season. Ciardella believes his teams depth
can make up for Tjans loss.
It hurts obviously (to lose Tjan), but you
have to remember, we dont have a star on
our team. Shes our leading scorer at 9.4
points, Ciardella said. We have great balance. There isnt ever anybody on this team
thats going to give us 16, 17 points per
game.

Half Moon Bay vs.

Menlo-Atherton, 6 p.m.
Based on history, the Bears have to be a
heavy favorite to beat the Cougars. M-A has
been one of the top teams in the PAL for
years, while Half Moon Bay has had it share
of struggles.
But dont look past the Cougars this season. They have put together a strong campaign and there was no question they were
the second-best team in the PAL North.
Other than two losses to PAL North champ
Westmoor, along with a stunning 56-51
loss to El Camino, the Cougars blasted PAL
North teams this season.
Half Moon Bay, without a so-called
star, relies on several different players
making contributions some who make
the stat sheet and others who dont.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Take the Cougars first-round game
Wednesday as a prime example. Freshman
point guard Katherine Dioli had to run the
team in the fourth quarter as starter Addison
Walling was in foul trouble. Although Dioli
scored only four points, it was more important for her to confidently run the Half
Moon Bay offense, which coach Antonio
Veloso said she did.
While the Cougars have a number of quality wins this season, M-A represents one of
the toughest challenges of the season for
them. The Bears feature arguably the deepest
and most balanced team in the PAL. While
their post players sophomore Ofa Sili
and freshman Greer Hoyem tend to lead
the team in scoring most every game, M-A
coach Markisha Coleman is not afraid to let
the backcourt take center stage.
At the end of the day, we go with what is
working, Coleman said. If our guards are
shooting really well from the outside, well
go with our backcourt. If our posts are scoring, well go with the frontcourt. As long as
were putting points on the scoreboard and
playing good defense is all that matters to
me.
Coleman said the graduation of last seasons do-everything Emma Heath has
helped the team take on more responsibility this season. They no longer have that
one player on whom to depend and everyone
has stepped up their game to help fill the
void.
We lost a really good player in Emma
Heath who did everything for us (last season), Coleman said. This year, the work
has kind of spread out and everyone is looking to contribute.
At this time of year, that what a team
needs to win a tournament title.

As report to new Arizona digs

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MESA, Ariz. Thirty-six years later, the Oakland

Athletics are back at HoHoKam Stadium.
After basing at Phoenix Municipal Stadium since
1984, the As have returned to their former spring
training home for spring training 2015, which starts
Thursday.
Oakland used the original HoHoKam Park from
1977-79, before it became the longtime spring home
of the Cubs. Chicagos red and blue has been replaced
by green and gold.
Its phenomenal, terrific for us, manager Bob
Melvin said. Its now essentially a new facility.
The park sat idle for a year while improvements
were made. The concourses feature mural-size photos
of old As greats Catfish Hunter, Rickey Henderson,
Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco, Terry Steinbach and
even new Arizona general manager Dave Stewart.
Oakland also will work out at nearby Fitch Park.
Left-hander Barry Zito took a mid-morning physical as he rejoins the As on a minor league contract.
The 36-year-old left-hander, who won the 2002 AL Cy
Young Award, left the As to sign a $126 million,
seven-year contract with San Francisco before the

2007 season, then took 2014 off.

Melvin said he watched Zito throw part of a bullpen
session a few days ago. Zito is to get a start early in
spring training.
After that, the innings tend to dry up as time goes
along, said Melvin, who also did not rule out using
Zito in relief.
Only Sonny Gray and Scott Kazmir appear certain
of rotation spots. Closer Sean Doolittle is sidelined
as his partially torn left rotator cuff heals.
Tyler Clippard appears to be the logical choice to
close, but Melvin wouldnt commit.
Im not going to say he is our closer, just like Im
not going to say who our opening day starter is,
Melvin said.
Clippard, Washingtons closer in 2012, was
acquired from the Nationals last month for shortstop
Yuniel Escobar. Im excited to come here, Clippard
said. Its like Im going to school for the first time
at the age of 30.
NOTES: Among the position players to report
early were OF Coco Crisp, SS Marcus Semien, OF
Josh Reddick, DH-1B Billy Butler and 2B Eric
Sogard.

Sharks snap two-game skid in Dallas

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS Andrew Desjardins scored two secondperiod goals and the San Jose Sharks held off the
Dallas Stars 5-2 Thursday night.
Antti Niemi made 37 saves for the Sharks, who had
lost two straight. The victory vaulted them into a tie
for seventh place in the Western Conference with
Calgary, tied for third in the Pacific Division.
The Stars had won four of their previous five games.
They fell six points behind Calgary and San Jose in the
race for the final wild-card berth.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic scored the Sharks first goal.
Patrick Marleau and Tommy Wingels scored into an
empty net after Dallas cut a 3-0 deficit to 3-2 on goals
by Trevor Daley and Erik Cole.
Tomas Hertl and Joe Pavelski had two assists for San
Jose, and Jamie Benn had two for the Stars.
Dallas coach Lindy Ruff pulled goalie Kari Lehtonen
after Desjardins second goal. Lehtonen gave up three
goals on 17 shots in a span of 26:15.
Backup Jhonas Enroth held San Jose scoreless while
making nine saves before the Sharks got their emptynet goals.
The Stars lost despite outshooting the Sharks 39-28.

Vlasic scored 4:24 in when he

tipped Logan Coutures pass from
the right corner past Lehtonen.
Desjardins goals came 2:37
apart. Hertls shot hit Desjardins on
the way to the upper right corner.
The second came when Desjardins
wrist shot from above the right
faceoff circle beat Lehtonen.
Hertl assisted on both goals.
Andrew
Dallas scored on a power play
Desjardins
when Daley slid the rebound of
Benns shot under Niemi. It was the defensemans
sixth power-play goal this season.
NOTES: Vlasic had not scored a goal in his previous
14 games since Jan. 6. . San Joses Brenden Dillon and
the Stars Jason Demers, traded for each other in
November, each played for the first time against his
former team. Dillon had an assist. . LW Brendan
Ranford made his NHL debut for the Stars. Hes the
nephew of Los Angeles Kings goalie coach Bill
Ranford. . Benn has 15 points (nine goals, six assists)
in his last 12 games. Jason Spezzas assist on Daleys
goal gave the center a seven-game point streak with 11
points (three goals, eight assists).

BOYS
Continued from page 11

Sequoia vs. Half Moon Bay, 7:30 p.m.

Half Moon Bay coach Rich Forslund broke it down succinctly: the team that gets the better performance from their key
players will advance to the PAL championship.
For the Cougars, that would mean 6-7 power forward Case
DuFrane, 6-6 center Austin Hilton and 6-3 shooting guard
Tommy Nuo.
Sequoia counters with 6-6 wing Chris Bene, 6-4 freshman
center Ziggy Lauese and 6-0 shooting guard DJ Houston.
We have three guys who are all-PAL. They need to play like
they are first-team all-leaguers and not honorable mention players, Forslund said. If they do so, well probably be successful.
And if they (the Sequoia players) play at an all-league level,
theyll win the game.
Based on recent results, Sequoia may have the upper hand
when it comes to Big Three production. In the PAL tournament opener Wednesday, Half Moon Bays Dufrane and Hilton
combined for just eight points. Add in Nuos 13 and thats 22
points from the Cougars main players.
Despite the off night offensively, the Cougars prevailed
against Menlo-Atherton, 45-39.
Sequoia, on the other hand, got 48 points combined from
Bene, Houston and Lauese with Bene and Houston each finishing with 22.
Sequoia coach Fine Lauese believes hell need a similar performance from Houston and a better job from his nephew Ziggy
if the Cherokees are to beat the Cougars.
DJ shows up when we have big games, Fine Lauese said.
Hes capable of doing it (having big scoring games).
The key matchup and one PAL fans have been waiting for
will come down to Sequoias 6-6 Bene against Half Moon
Bays 6-7 DuFrane.
Bene is a true guard who has the ability to put the ball on the
floor and go at defenders. Hes used to facing up to the basket.
DuFrane is more of a post player, who can work comfortably
with his back to the goal. It should be a unique dynamic to see
how both players perform outside their comfort zone. Its not
often either go up against opposition who can physically

THE DAILY JOURNAL

match up with them.

I think Chris does best when hes on somebody whos about
the same height as him, Fine Lauese said. Im excited to see
him play against [DuFrane].
Sequoia may also have a slight advantage when it comes to
having been battle tested. The Cherokees have had tough games
playing in the PAL South all season long, while the Cougars
have had only two seriously tough games in PAL North play
against Terra Nova.
Thats a problem for us, theres no question about it,
Forslund said. Theres no way to imitate the loudness of a gymnasium or the intensity of (a close game). I think that is why
we struggle in them. We havent been in enough of them.

Burlingame vs. Mills, 4:30 p.m.

This matchup has evolved into one of the best basketball
rivalries in the PAL and meeting in the semifinals of the PAL
tournament only turns things up a notch.
They have battled for PAL South Division supremacy seemingly every season, but this is the first time in a long time the
Vikings have stood alone atop the South Division standings.
And after the two teams split the regular season meetings
61-42 Mills Jan. 9 and 59-42 Burlingame Jan. 30 what
better way to determine which is the better team than having the
rubber match in the PAL tournament?
These squads are extremely knowledgeable about one another, so there will be no surprises Friday night. The Panthers will
be tasked with figuring out Mills 2-3 zone defense, while the
Vikings have to find a way to slow down Panther wing Justin
Gutang, who lit up Terra Nova for 26 points in Burlingames 6655 win and might be the best scorer on the floor.
Mills will need another big game out of big-game performer
Marquis Adkins. At 6-3, there is no spot on the floor he cant
and hasnt played for the Vikings this year. If shooting
guard Miguel Madrigal can get hot and the backcourt combination of Brandon Matsuno and Danny Yu can consistently get to
the bucket off the dribble, the Vikings have a good chance of
moving into the finals.
If Burlingame can avoid a slow start and get all their offensive
options involved and firing early, such as Tyler Garlitos and
Vinnie Ferrari, the Panthers are tough to beat.

Raiders, Chargers to
pitch shared stadium
By Andrew Dalton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The

Oakland Raiders and San
Diego Chargers are planning a shared stadium in the
Los Angeles area if both
teams fail to get new stadium
deals in their current hometowns, the teams said in a
joint statement Thursday
night, adding another layer
of complexity to a possible
NFL return to the region.
The proposed $1. 7-billion stadium would be in
Carson, 15 miles south of
downtown Los Angeles and
home to the Los Angeles
Galaxy soccer team.
The statement says the
teams have tried and failed
for years to find stadium
solutions in Oakland and
San Diego, and without new
agreements in those cities
their hands will be forced.
We are pursuing this stadium option in Carson for
one straightforward reason,
the statement says. If we
cannot find a permanent
solution in our home markets, we have no alternative
but to preserve other
options to guarantee the
future economic viability of
our franchises.
The plan creates the odd
prospect of divisional rivals
suddenly sharing a home
field, and of Los Angeles having two NFL teams after
going two decades with none.
And it takes the muddled
issue of the NFLs return to
Southern California and
makes it downright messy,
with at least three viable stadium plans in the works.
St. Louis Rams owner Stan
Kroenke is part of a joint
venture to build an 80,000seat stadium at the site of the
former Hollywood Park
horse track just 10 miles
from Carson in Inglewood.
And a plan remains alive
for an NFL facility in down-

town Los Angeles. That stadium known as Farmers

Field, until recently the leading candidate for the NFLs
return, now becomes a long
shot with multiple competitors and no clear team
attached.
Earlier this month, the
NFL sent a memo warning
teams that the league itself
will be behind any decision
to move to Southern
California, and established a
committee of owners to
review the options.
The Chargers and Raiders
statement says they will
respect and adhere to the
guidelines the league laid
out.
Both teams said they plan
to work in good faith
through 2015 to find new
agreements to stay in their
current homes.
The Chargers talks with
San Diego City Hall to
replace the nearly 50-yearold Qualcomm Stadium have
grown increasingly contentious. Mayor Kevin
Faulconer appointed an
advisory group earlier this
month to recommend a site
and financing plan for a new
stadium that can go on the
November 2016 ballot. But
Chargers attorney Mark
Fabiani told the group that
there may not be a publicly
acceptable solution to the
problem and warned them
against using the team for
political advantage.
The Raiders are in the
final year of their lease at
the even older Oakland
Coliseum. The rundown stadium had sewage and electrical problems in the past
year and is now the only stadium in the US used as the
home for both an NFL and
Major League Baseball
team, the Oakland Athletics.
The team wants to build a
new stadium at the site but
talks with the city have
shown little progress.

Key Ukraine town under rebel control

By Peter Leonard
and Dalton Bennett
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DEBALTSEVE, Ukraine For

the rebel fighters who seized control of this strategic town,
Thursday was a day of jubilation
and bragging of victory. The
retreating Ukrainian soldiers were
grim, stunned and relieved to have
escaped with their lives as the
scope of their losses became clearer: at least 13 dead and hundreds
missing, captured or wounded.
Rebel fighters roamed the
debris-littered
streets
of
Debaltseve, laughing, hugging
and posing for photos a day after
the fall of the furiously contested
railway hub. Associated Press journalists found its neighborhoods
destroyed and all under the control
of the rebels.
On the road out of town, dozens
of Ukrainian military vehicles,
many riddled with bullet holes and
with their windshields smashed,
were heading to the governmentheld city of Artemivsk.
The soldiers inside described
weeks of harrowing rebel shelling,
followed by a hasty retreat.
We left under heavy fire, driving on back roads, said a soldier
who gave only his first name,
Andrei. As we were leaving, we
were attacked by artillery and
grenade launchers. We came under
repeated attack by tanks and
assault groups.
As rebels waved separatist flags,
Nikolai Kozitsyn, a Russian
Cossack leader and prominent warlord in the rebel-controlled east,
drove around in a Humvee-like
vehicle captured from Ukrainian
troops.
All around lay the wrecked
remains of Ukrainian armored
vehicles. Rebel fighters, many of
them Cossacks, searched through
the bunkers and tents of an abandoned military encampment, looking to salvage equipment and
clothing left behind.
Two rebel fighters inspected an
abandoned tank, declaring it a
gift from the Ukrainian army.
They then grabbed a bloodied blueand-yellow Ukrainian flag and
ground it into the frozen earth with

Walesa: Solidarity in sanctions would change Putins policy

By Monika Scislowska

WARSAW, Poland Polands

former president and Solidarity
leader Lech Walesa said Thursday
he believes that global solidarity
in economic sanctions against
Russia would lead President
Vladimir Putin to change his
aggressive policy in Ukraine.
We can quickly win against
Putin, but we need solidarity,
Walesa told the Associated Press
in an interview.
He said concerted and consistent
decisions not to buy something,
not to sell something would
allow the world to quickly lead
Putin and Russia toward ending

this idea of struggle.

We need Russia, he said.
Russia means great opportunities, Russia is a huge country. So
we need to help it to start thinking
in the Western way.
European politicians have indicated that being united on an
approach toward Moscow was a
main priority, but also a difficult
task. Financial and other sanctions that Western countries have
imposed on Putins government
and pro-Kremlin oligarchs have
so far done little to stop fighting
in eastern Ukraine. Europe
remains divided on the scope and
duration of the sanctions.
Walesa, 71, spoke as Polish
Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz held
talks with visiting Hungarian

Prime Minister Victor Orban, who

Walesa said that Putins policy
of aggression against Ukraine was
hard to understand in the 21st
century but could result from a historic lack of democracy in Russia.
Russia has never had democracy, it was never in this culture and
it always needed an external
enemy to keep internal order, he

conflict with Moscow. In the Cold

Cossacks, who spearheaded
imperial Russias expansion and

trace their historic roots to both
Ukraine and southern Russia. They
faced persecution under Bolshevik
rule but resurfaced after the 1991
Soviet collapse and are now recognized in Russia as an ethnic group

who consider themselves descendants of the czarist-era horsemen.

By Thursday, 90 percent of government forces had been withdrawn, a military spokesman said,

Poroshenko said 2,475 soldiers

were safely pulled out.
The official toll stood at 13 soldiers killed, 157 wounded, more
than 90 captured and at least 82
missing. But retreating soldiers
spoke of many more casualties during a hasty and disorderly withdrawal, and the death toll was likely to rise.
Rebel leaders also claimed the
Ukrainian casualties were far higher and bragged about seizing large
numbers of heavy weapons abandoned by the government forces.
The capture of Debaltseve, a key
railroad junction that straddles the
route between the separatists two
main cities, Donetsk and Luhansk,
was a significant military victory
for the rebels.
However, Ukrainian military
spokesman Andriy Lysenko said
the three-week siege had left the
towns infrastructure in ruins. A
strategic rail hub has stopped its
existence the way it was, he said
Thursday in Kiev, the Ukrainian
capital.
The retreating soldiers appeared
shell-shocked as they described
the harrowing battle.
Starting at night, they would
fire at us just to stop us from sleeping. They did this all night, said
Andrei, the Ukrainian soldier.
Then in the morning, they would
attack, wave after wave. They did
this constantly for three weeks.
The battle for Debaltseve defied
a cease-fire for eastern Ukraine
that was supposed to go into effect
Sunday. While the truce mostly
held elsewhere, Ukrainian military
spokesman
Anatoliy
Stelmakh said the rebels had
repeatedly shelled a village on the
outskirts of the strategic port city
of Mariupol over the past 24
hours.
The war in eastern Ukraine has
killed more than 5,600 people and
forced over a million to flee their
homes since fighting began in
April, a month after Russia
annexed the mostly Russianspeaking Crimean Peninsula.
Russia denies arming the rebels or
supplying fighters, but Western
nations and NATO point to satellite pictures of Russian military
equipment in eastern Ukraine.

Four humans versus one

monster in tense Evolve
By Lou Kesten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The monsters in Evolve (2K Games, for

PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, $59.99) dont
seem that scary at first glance. Ugly, yes, but
nothing your arsenal of flamethrowers and
rocket launchers cant handle.
Unfortunately, if you leave the critters alone
for just a few minutes they mutate into bonecrushing behemoths that can make short work
of a bunch of puny humans. It may not be what
Charles Darwin had in mind, but evolution on
the planet Shear really does come down to survival of the fittest.
That tension is the key to Evolve, a five-

player slugfest that brings some clever innovations to the popular but somewhat stale
realm of online combat. It starts with the
video-game industrys latest buzz phrase,
asymmetric multiplayer: Evolve is a fourversus-one contest, with four human hunters
ganging up on one particularly vicious creature.
The Wraith is a Lovecraftian horror that
mows down enemies with razor-sharp blades,
teleports across long distances and summons
decoys to distract the hunters. The Kraken
backs up swings of its deadly tentacles with
bursts of chain lightning. The Goliath is a

Redwood Symphony puts on a fantastique performance

By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Is Hector Berliozs Symphonie fantastique an appropriate work for a Valentines

Day concert? The Redwood Symphony and
its music director, Eric Kujawsky, think so,
for they played it on Saturday at Caada
College.
Im not so sure. This work was inspired
by the French composers one-sided obsession, hardly his love, for Harriet Smithson,
an Irish actress. Hed hardly met her and
they didnt even have a language in common (They did eventually marry, after he
courted her ardently enough. It did not go
well). In the music, she spurns him, he murders her, and then she becomes a witch. Not
a very romantic plot, nor a very coherent
one, either.
Whatever the date of the performance,
though, this rendition of the Symphonie
was fantastique. Berlioz wrote big, for
massed
ensembles.
The
Redwood
Symphony has the forces. Multiple drums
and even multiple tubas kept this work loud.
It sounded more individualized than massed,

though. Imagine the

rampaging mob charging into battle at the end
of Monty Python and
the Holy Grail instead
of the mechanized forces
of The Battle of the Five
Armies. It was more
human, more believable,
Eric Kujawsky and in its way more
impressive.
One of the few quiet parts occurs in the
third movement, Scene in the Fields. Two
pipers Peter Stahl on English horn and
Michael Odynski on oboe traded plaintive phrases. These were the highlights of a
lot of good wind performances throughout.
The strings were also good, with some
strong work from the cellos in particular.
Horns and brass were rough in the March to
the Scaffold but gathered up well for the
raucous finale. Synthesizers substituted for
the difficult harp parts in the second-movement ballroom. Purists should be shocked,
but, unfortunately for them and for unemployed harpists, it worked.
The concert began with Rossinis La scala

di seta overture, led by

assistant
conductor
Kristin Link. This ran
lively through Rossinis
enormous crescendos, but
the players had more
trouble with the tricky
fast notes than they did in
Berlioz.
In between came a conJon Mulvey
certo by the contemporary American composer Michael Daugherty
a favorite of Kujawskys for the highly contemporary instrument of the electric
guitar. This was played by Jon Mulvey, who
brought physicality to his performance by
crouching a lot. Daugherty titles his work
Gees Bend, for a town in Alabama famous
for its quilts.
There seemed nothing particularly
quiltish about the concerto. Both the outer
movements were full of the distortion and
wailing that electric guitars are known for.
Daugherty writes that the first movement
evokes Jimi Hendrix, while the last is
inspired more by the likes of Bo Diddley
and Duane Allman. It seemed a distinction

without much difference to me. Sometimes

the guitar was louder than the orchestra, and
sometimes the orchestra, playing all out
through both movements, was louder than
the guitar. However loud it got, though,
Berlioz was still louder.
The middle movements were much more
fun. The second movement featured attractive slow blues picking on the guitar,
emphasizing its kinship with the acoustic
guitar, just more audible over the quiet
string background than an unamplified
instrument would be.
In the third movement, Mulvey quietly
strummed his guitar as it and a washboard
provided rhythmic accompaniment to winningly jazzy solos and group playing from
all over the wind section, from English
horn Peter Stahl taking the well-deserved
prime position again to piccolo.
Redwood Symphonys next concert, on
March 28, features the only slightly less
offbeat offering of a bassoon concerto,
played by its composer, Doug McCracken,
plus Bartks challenging Violin Concerto
No. 2 and Sibelius enigmatic Symphony
No. 7.

healthy. Support units have an assortment

of talents, such as cloaking fellow
hunters, calling down bomb strikes and
deploying turret guns. As you gain experience, you can unlock more hunters with
fresh talents.
Each mission in Evolve takes about 10
minutes, provided you survive that long.
The core mode is Hunt: Find the beast and
kill it. In Rescue, the hunters need to find
and protect human survivors; in Nest, they
search for and crush monster eggs. Defend
mode sets up generators that the hunters

need to protect from rampaging minions.

All those mission types are combined in
Evacuation, a five-match challenge in
which each scenario is affected by the successes and failures of the one before it.
All this runs fairly smoothly, and in the
few days since the game launched, I
havent had any trouble finding the type of
competition I wanted with the hunter - or
monster - of my choice. Still, much of the
satisfaction of online play depends on the
skills of your teammates and competitors;
some matches end quickly, while others

turn into tense, exhausting affairs with

every player struggling to survive.
At its essence, Evolve is a simple
game of cat(s) and one very nasty mouse. If
youre looking for complex stories or
well-developed characters, youre in the
wrong place. Instead, it delivers quick, satisfying blasts of sharply executed mayhem, and itll be interesting to see how it,
well, evolves as its players become more
adept and developer Turtle Rock Studios
throws in more monsters, weapons and
battle arenas. Three stars out of four.

PAY CUTS
Continued from page 1
agreed upon during collective bargaining
with district unions.
The board introduced an element you do
not have unilateral discretion to exercise,
he told the board after their 4-1 vote approving the pay reductions.
Trustee Kevin Martinez voted against the
pay reduction proposal, and instead favored
the board approving its original recommendation, which would have cut the classified
staff and served to close the deficit entirely.
Under the boards decision, the budget still
suffers about a $150,000 shortfall, which
would be backfilled should the unions accept
the approved pay cut.
As part of the original proposal, Martinez
advocated for prioritizing a list of staff and
services that the district would like to bring
back should an influx of money come to the
district during the budget process.
Meghan Clark, coordinator of the organizing committee for the teachers union, said
she appreciated the boards willingness to

DAgosta took part of the blame for how

She said Filolis business model created

that the volunteer agreement is standard
for California nonprofits.

try to preserve district classified staff, but is

still dissatisfied by efforts of district officials.
Any kind of cut I think is unreasonable,
she said.
The district is in the midst of negotiations
with teachers, who are asking for an 8 percent pay hike. Officials countered with a proposal to slash pay by 4 percent, outraging
educators and rallying the community
against the administration.
Clark said teachers have agreed to go to
mediation with the district to resolve the
contract dispute, but a date has yet to be set
to begin proceedings.
Before the meeting Wednesday, Feb. 18,
teachers, parents and students organized in
front of the Parkside Intermediate School
gymnasium where the board meeting was
held to express their support for staff.
During the meeting, members of the community encouraged district officials to find
ways to balance the budget while avoiding
cuts to personnel.
Shelley Kessler, executive secretary treasurer of the San Mateo County Central Labor
Council, advocated for the teachers to receive
the raise they requested.

You need to fully invest in these folks.

They invest themselves in their work in this
district, and they shouldnt be punished, she
said. The students and community deserve
the best and what you are proposing is far
from that.
The discussion to cut 11 teachers came later
in the meeting. Though the exact nature of
the cuts have yet to be specified, the county
Office of Education requires the district to
budget conservatively due to its structural
deficit.
The district has been paying its bills from
reserve funds for the better portion of a
decade, and the $30.5 million earned from
the sale of Carl Sandburg Elementary School
in 2012 is spent.
And though trustees approved cost-cutting
measures last night, some district workers
believe there are more funds available.
Gary Pettinari, president of the classified
union, said that the district could save roughly $300,000 in special education transportation costs by allowing district staff to run the
services, which would be more money to the
district coffers than what is allocated in the
budget item passed by the board.
Others from the community encouraged

officials to consider finding outside revenue

sources which might bring the district some
money and assist in closing the deficit without making cuts to staff.
Nick Hart, who has helped establish a
Facebook page of concerned parents and
community members, encouraged those in
attendance at the meeting to pursue creative
measures, such as landing grant funding for
the district, which might help resolve the
budget issues.
Prior to the budget balancing discussion,
Jared Boigon of TBWB Strategies, presented
to the board information regarding a potential parcel tax measure. Voters shot down a
$199 parcel tax proposal on the fall 2012
election ballot.
As the budget process continues to develop, Hart urged all parties involved to stay
positive, in hope of finding a resolution that
satisfies all parties.
The damage done tonight is not irreversible, he said. This is not the last word
on the subject, and working together we can
make a difference. We can turn things
around.
The board will meet again to further address
budget balancing measures March 11.

have been with the agency for 30 or 40

years and did not respond well to the new
agreement.
The board met for the first time this year
Wednesday to consider the agreement after
which the letter was sent to volunteers
saying they could opt-out of the clause,
she said.
But the National Trust may end up
adding the liability clause back into any
future agreement, she said.
We are all here for the same thing, to
protect and preserve this place. We cant
operate without them. We treasure them,
DAgosta said about the volunteers.
The agreement volunteers were asked to
sign by March 1 contains a release of
indemnification clause that prevents them
for suing the agency for negligence, per-

sonal injury of wrongful death.

The agreement wasnt put together,
however, because Filoli has been sued or
related to insurance rates, DAgosta said.
Many volunteers dont know why after
working there for so many decades the
agreement is being presented to them
now.
The fact remains that no such agreement has ever been in effect at Filoli and
there has been nothing of any consequence presented as to why such an agreement is important at this time, James C.
De Voy wrote to DAgosta in a letter on
behalf of his wife Kiwi De Voy, who has
worked as a flower arranger at Filoli for 22
years.
Another volunteer, Jean Dehmer, will
not sign the agreement either even with

the opt-out provision.

She has been a member of Filoli for 12
years and a nature education docent there
for three years.
I dont feel comfortable signing it. I
regret it. I love working there. Im very
sad Im not going to be able to do this any
longer. Ive never been asked to sign any
agreement that remotely resembles that,
Dehmer said.
In Barracks letter to the volunteers
Thursday, she points to the climate at
Filoli created by the volunteer agreement.
Unfortunately, some of the interactions during the rollout of the volunteer
agreement have been disruptive. It will
take significant time and effort to work
through the many issues created, Barrack
wrote in the letter.

mends 10 percent, which is a target within

reach, says Miriam Nelson, a Tufts
University professor of nutrition who
served on the panel.
Sugary drinks should be replaced with
water instead of those with low-calorie
sweeteners; theres not enough evidence
those drinks can help with weight loss, the
committee advises.

The 2010 dietary guidelines had recommended those at risk for heart disease limit
sodium to 1,500 milligrams. The new report
said lowering to that amount can still be
helpful for some. But the new advice follows a 2013 report by the Institute of
Medicine that said there is no good evidence
that eating less than 2,300 milligrams a day
of sodium offers benefits.
With the average American eating more
than 3,400 milligrams daily, the panel recommends at least trying to reduce sodium
intake by 1,000 milligrams a day if the
goals are unattainable.
Alice Lichtenstein, a member of the panel
and a professor at Tufts University, said the
new recommendation puts the focus where
it should be. Get sodium intake down, and

fine-tune the numbers as more evidence

comes in.

A SOFTER APPROACH ON SALT

Sodium adds up quickly. A turkey sandwich
and a cup of soup can average about 2,200
milligrams.
Thats just under the committees recommendation of 2,300 milligrams a day for all
people, even those most at risk for heart
disease.

A HEARTY ENDORSEMENT FOR COFFEE

The report looks at caffeine for the first
time, and says coffee is OK even good for
you. The panel says there is strong evidence
that 3 to 5 cups a day can be part of a healthy
diet, and theres consistent evidence that
its even associated with reduced risk of type
2 diabetes and heart disease.
The advice comes with some caveats
dont add calories with cream, milk and
added sugars. The report also advises
against large-size energy drinks that are
popular in the marketplace, and it recommends pregnant women limit caffeine to
two cups of coffee a day.

IRAQ
Continued from page 1
attack, but they would be supplemented by three smaller brigades serving as
reserve forces, along with three
Peshmerga brigades who would contain the Islamic State fighters from the
north and west.
The Peshmerga are Kurdish forces
from northern Iraq.
The official said there also would be
a Mosul fighting force, largely made
up of former Mosul police and tribal
forces, who would have to be ready to
go back into the city once the army
units clear out the Islamic State fighters.
Included in the force would be a
brigade of Iraqi counterterrorism forces
who have been trained by U.S. special
operations forces. The brigades
include roughly 2,000 troops each.
The official was not authorized to discuss the operation publicly and spoke
on condition of anonymity.
Military leaders dont often disclose
as many details of an operation before
it takes place, but in some cases it can
have an impact on the enemy, trigger a
reaction or even prompt some militants to flee before the assault begins.

TOWER
Continued from page 1
We feel this is potentially a really
interesting project, he said. It introduces high-quality housing with stunning views of the Bay, directly adjacent to our biotech cluster.
Myers completed the first tower and
opened it for office space rental in
2008. But a slow economy delayed the
construction of the second tower.
Susy Kalkin, chief planner for the
city, said officials are beginning to
inspect the potential environment
impact of the project and suggested
that it could move quickly through the
planning stages.
If everything goes smoothly, it
could be approved by City Council as
soon as this summer, said Kalkin.
We are excited to see this building
go up, she said.
Councilwoman Karyl Matsumoto
echoed those sentiments, and advocated for the possibility of the housing

The operation itself comes as no surprise to the Islamic State group. Iraqi
leaders have for months made it publicly clear that they were planning an
operation to retake Mosul and that
they were eager to get started. In addition, U. S. officials had already
acknowledged that they were beginning preparations for the Mosul mission, including using airstrikes to shut
down supply lines that the insurgents
were using to get equipment or people
in and out of the city.
Asked why U.S. Central Command
was telegraphing the timeframe and
details of the operation to the enemy,
the official said it was important to
highlight the effort the Iraqi security
forces are putting into the mission and
how committed they are to it.
The official said the U.S. will provide military support for the operation, including training, air support,
intelligence and surveillance. The official said there has been no decision
made yet on whether to send in some
U.S. ground troops to help call in
airstrikes. That decision would be
made by senior defense and military
leaders and President Barack Obama.
Islamic State militants overtook
Mosul last June, as the group marched
across large sections of Iraq and Syria,
sending Iraqi forces fleeing. At this
point, officials estimate there are

between 1,000 to 2,000 Islamic State

insurgents in the city of Mosul.
Military leaders have been talking
about retaking the city for some time,
but they have said they wont launch
the operation until the Iraqi troops are
ready.
The official said they wanted to
retake Mosul in the spring, before the
summer heat and the holiday month of
Ramadan kick in.
But by the same token, if theyre
not ready, if the conditions are not set,
if all the equipment they need is not
physically there and they (arent)
trained to a degree in which they will
be successful, we have not closed the
door on continuing to slide that to the
right, he said.
Under the plan, the approximately
3,200 Iraqi forces that have completed
the training already or are going
through it now would replace the five
main brigades wherever they are now,
and those five units would then go
through several weeks of final training
before the Mosul operation begins.
The official also revealed for the
first time that Qatar has agreed to
host a training site for coalition
forces to train moderate Syrian rebels
who would return to Syria to fight the
Islamic State forces there. Other sites
are in Turkey, Jordan and Saudi
Arabia.

being built in the tower, as the project

fits in nicely with the citys revitalization effort.
Im hopeful it comes to fruition,
she said.
Matsumoto, who described the initial phase of the project as the creme
de la creme, expressed her admiration
for the way Myers built the first tower.
The council recently passed its
downtown plan, which is a reenvisioning of how the region around the
Caltrain station. But there is a larger
effort to rejuvenate the economy in
South San Francisco.
Greenwood said the proposal also
includes building a restaurant in the
second tower, which would diversify
the region near San Bruno Mountain
currently home mostly to biotechnology companies.
He expressed hesitation about
addressing the project in any certain
terms, due to it being only in initial
planning stages. He also said the city
needs to ensure that housing was the
correct proposal for the area, which is
not zoned for residential development.
It is badly desired by our communi-

ty, he said. But whether it is the

right project for that location, we have
to look at that very closely.
Original plans for the project came
to the city in 2006, which called for
spending $325 million to build two
towers on 8 acres of land bringing in
two large office buildings. The proposal also featured a grocery store,
small retail shops, a 150-seat theater
and plaza area.
Initially, the new north tower was
slated to be taller, featuring 21 stories,
about 17,000 square feet per floor and
a football shape with the point directed at Highway 101.
Kalkin said that most recent proposal envisions the second tower as a
taller, more slender model of the glassexterior office building designed by
Skidmore Owings and Merrill.
Should the project move forward as a
residential development, it would be
unique for the city and the rest of the
region.
It could be the type of housing project we do not have in this part of the
Peninsula, Greenwood said.

They are scheduled to return to court

March 6.
Lopez pleaded not guilty in
December to two previous counts of
conspiracy for allegedly allowing the
two corrections officers to smuggle
cellphones, oxycodone, alprazolam
and ibuprofen to inmate Dionicio

Lopez, a Hells Angels member

accused of a shooting in Daly City in
2011. Prosecutors have said there is
no known familial relationship
between Juan Lopez and Dionicio
Lopez.
Hanlon said Thursday he is still
receiving evidence in both cases.

STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR
FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR
SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE:
All right, title, and interest conveyed and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it
is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.
More fully described in said Deed of Trust
Street Address or other common designation of real property: : 578 Sacramento
Street, East Palo Alto, CA 94303
A.P.N.: 063-201-270
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.
The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the
obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:
$615,468.35.
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's
sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and
the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a
written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (866) 960-8299, visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices/Sales.aspx using
the file number assigned to this case 2014-01225-CA Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale
may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web
site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it
is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.
More fully described in said Deed of Trust
Street Address or other common designation of real property: : 2500 Fordham Street,
East Palo Alto, CA 94303
A.P.N.: 063-088-200
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.
The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the
obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:
$359,592.45.
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's
sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and
the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a
written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (866) 960-8299, visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices/Sales.aspx using
the file number assigned to this case 2014-04446-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale
may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web
site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or
may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before
you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may
charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you
should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of
trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this
notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether
your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date
for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site
WWW.PRIORITYPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 006650CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is
to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (714) 573-1965 Publish:

Happy Ewe Year: Astrological signs bad for the Sheep Year
By Louise Watt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING Chinese were seeing in the Year of the Sheep

on Thursday, but with fortune-tellers predicting accidents
and an unstable economy and some parents-to-be fretting
over the years reputation for docile kids, it wasnt exactly
warming everyones heart.
This animal sign, which comes once every dozen years,
can be said to have an identity crisis. Known variably as the
Year of the Goat, Sheep or Ram, the signs confusion stems
from its Chinese character, yang, which broadly describes
any of the ruminating mammals, with or without horns.
Many Chinese prefer to translate it as the Year of the
Sheep because sheep are more cute and cuddly, and large
sheep figures have appeared around the capitals shopping
areas in recent weeks.
The goat, however, is more likely to be the original
meaning because it was a popular farm animal among Han
Chinese who started the zodiac tradition, Huang Yang, a
researcher on the roles of sheep and goats in Chinese culture, was quoted by the official Xinhua News agency as saying.
Still, Xinhua is going with Year of the Sheep in its
English-language reports rather than Year of the Goat.
The United States also appears to be opting for the fluffier, more gentle animal sign, at least in the U.N. Security
Council. A U.S. diplomat at a council meeting earlier this
month wished China, this months council president, a
happy Year of the Sheep.
During the seven-day holiday that started Wednesday, the
worlds second-biggest economy largely shuts down.
Many mainland Chinese tuned into the annual New Years
Eve TV gala Wednesday evening, and this years mascot
managed to achieve the problem-solving feat of not being
clearly a sheep or a goat.
The previous year, the Year of the Horse, is generally considered to be an auspicious time never mind that Asian
airlines had a string of high-profile disasters.
Astrologists interviewed said this year would bring a
volatile economy, more transport accidents and windy natural disasters such as tornadoes in the United States and
typhoons to Southeast Asia.
For China, which doesnt get tornadoes, that means air
pollution, coming in with dirty air currents and affecting
everyones lives, said Shanghai-based astrologer Dong
Jialing.
In around June, when its getting hot in China, the
Western economy will fluctuate quite a lot and will be very
unstable, Dong predicted. But August or September will
mark the start of a very stable economic period.
Feng shui master Clement Chan, who appeared on
Americas Next Top Model as a guest judge in an episode
filmed in Macau, said he sees a lot of fire this year, and fire
means accidents. He anticipates plane crashes in the first
half, but not as many as in 2014. He also sees a lot of road
accidents.

Germany rejects Greek olive

branch on eve of bailout talks
By Nicholas Paphitis and Elena Beatoros
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS, Greece Germany quickly rejected a conciliatory bailout proposal by Greece on Thursday, dampening hopes that emergency talks might break a deadlock
threatening the country with default and an exit from the
euro.
The Greek government asked to extend its rescue loan
agreement by six months, in order to give all sides more
time to hash out a more permanent deal. That goes much
of the way toward satisfying an ultimatum from the 19country eurozone.
It held back, however, on offering to continue in full a
series of budget cuts and reforms that the eurozone has
required since 2010 in exchange for loans, but that Greece
blames for devastating its economy.
Germany was quick to say the plan was not good
enough. German finance ministry spokesman Martin
Jaeger said it is not a substantial proposal for a solution.
He said it amounts to a request for bridge financing
without fulfilling the demands of the (bailout) program,
namely the budget measures. It does not, he added, correspond to what the eurozone countries had demanded of
Greece before talks broke down on Monday.
The European executive Commission was somewhat
more upbeat.
Spokesman Margaritis Schinas said Commission
President Jean-Claude Juncker sees in this letter a positive sign which, in his assessment, could pave the way for
a reasonable compromise in the interest of financial stability in the euro area as a whole.
He said Juncker held talks with Greek Prime Minister
Alexis Tspiras and Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen
Dijsselbloem, who will head Fridays emergency meeting
of eurozone finance ministers in Brussels.
