With improved economic times,
San Mateo County Community
College District board members
unanimously decided Wednesday
night to not renew a parcel tax
that helps fund its colleges.
Since the district has been able
to grow its offerings back into
place and has
moved to taking
more money in
as a basic aid
district those
funded by prop-
erty taxes the
parcel tax is no
longer neces-
sary, said
Trustee Dave
Mandelkern. In 2010, San Mateo
County voters approved Measure
G, a $34 annual tax per parcel,
which expires June 30.
We went for the parcel tax when
we were in deep nancial crisis,
Mandelkern said. The state was
cutting money left and right and
we needed the money. It really
helped and now, four years later,
the situation is pretty different.
We appreciate the support of the
people of San Mateo County, but
its not an emergency now. Its the
right thing to do; not to keep our
hand in the pocket.
Board President Karen Schwarz
expressed the boards appreciation
to San Mateo County on the tax to
help the district through a scal
crisis brought on by years of state
budget reductions. At the time, the
districts three colleges were fac-
ing unprecedented demand for
classes due to the recession and
widespread unemployment. At one
point, there were more than
13,000 students on wait lists for
classes, Schwarz said.

Deciding whether to put a $265
million bond measure aimed at
alleviating enrollment growth on
the June or November ballot is the
next step for the Sequoia Union
High School District Board of
Trustees.
Community members and
trustees have been weighing the
pros and cons of going out for a
measure this spring or in the fall,
with some believing its too soon
for it to be on the ballot since
there should be clear public sup-
port and a more complete cam-
paigning committee. Most of the
school board, and some others,
believe the sooner the better and a
November ballot measure might
be too late since it will take two
years to construct the rst set of

Housing trust pulls
funds from investment pool
The Housing Endowment and
Regional trust yanked $1.4 million
the week of Feb. 28, 2009, from the
county investment pool after losing
$150,000 in the Lehman Brothers
bankruptcy approximately the
same amount of money the joint
powers authority
earned in the pool
since its inception.
The HEARTBoard of
Directors voted 10-2 in favor of
removing all money from the
investment pool and researching safer
options. HEARTalso had money in
nancial institutions that wont be
moved. Dissenting boardmembers
thought more research should be done
before removing the money but were
overridden by a majority who believe
safety is the bigger issue.
The Sept. 15, 2008, Lehman col-
lapse rippled through the economy,
particularly 19 California counties
with investments in it. San Mateo
County lost more than $150 million
from its investment pool which
includes school districts, cities and
special agencies such as HEART.
Unlike school districts, HEARTi s
not legally required to keep any funds
in the pool. The money was placed
there because the county gave the JPA
seed money in 2002.
Toll lane idea starts up
Legislation allowing solo drivers
to pay up to 50 cents a mile to bypass
trafc with approximately 800 miles
of Bay Area commuter lanes was
expected to speed through the state
Capitol after its introduction the
week of Feb. 28, 2009.
Assembly Bill 744 was
to authorize development
of a comprehensive net-
work of high-occupancy
toll or HOT lanes on
Bay Area freeways, allowing solo
drivers the option to bypass conges-
tion by paying a toll to use lanes in
which carpools and buses currently
travel free of charge.
San Mateo tightens belt
The week of Feb. 28, 2009, it was
announced that there will be 23 fewer
jobs in the city of San Mateo and res-
idents would be asked to approve two
new taxes after the City Council
approved that week a two-phased
approach to solving the worsening
budget crisis.
The San Mateo City Council met in
a special meeting on Tuesday of that
week to discuss the budget reduction
process. The city immediately cut $4
million in jobs and services and
began the process of placing two bal-
lot measures to increase sales and
hotel taxes on the November 2009
ballot to raise another $4 million.
The cuts come as an ongoing struc-
tural decit ballooned from an antici-
pated $4 million to $8 million amid a
weak economy. The city initially pro-
jected a $3 million to $4 million
structural budget gap between ongo-
ing revenue and expenses.
Doctor takes plea
deal for illegal prescription
The former Colorado doc-
tor who illegally prescribed
generic Prozac online to a
Stanford University student
who subsequently killed himself
pleaded no contest the week of Feb.
28, 2009, to felony practicing medi-
cine in California without a license.
The deal settles Christian
Hageseths case a complicated one
that stretched over three years,
including seven motions to dismiss,
an appellate court ruling on jurisdic-
tion and a consistent stance by the
defense that county prosecutors could
not try him for practicing in the state
because he never stepped foot in
California.
Although the decision did not bring
back John McKay, the university
freshman who obtained the drugs
from an online pharmacy, prosecutor
Jenny Ow said his family was happy
with the resolution.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A16-year-old girl was at her San Mateo
home Wednesday night when an armed
robber entered her backyard on the 3200
block of Verdun Avenue, according to the
San Mateo Police Department.
Matthew Nguyen, 22, of San Mateo, was
arrested for the robbery after 5:40 p.m. on
the rainy night, said San Mateo police
Sgt. Dave Norris.
The young girl was inside her home at
her dining room table when she was star-
tled to see a man identified as Nguyen a
few feet away in her backyard, Norris said.
He pointed what appeared to be a black
handgun directly at her and demanded
money. The girl screamed and her father
came downstairs and
immediately called
police, Norris said.
The man did not enter
the house but was handed
a small amount of
money through the door
before fleeing, Norris
said.
More than 20 police
officers responded and
called nearby residents
warning them to stay inside and be on the
lookout for the suspect, according to
police.
A fast call to police was really instru-
mental in getting us there quickly, Norris
said.
Within a block of the residence, Nguyen
was found with a realistic-looking airsoft
pistol and other evidence linking him to
the crime, Norris said.
The circumstances leading up to his
arrest were challenging due to the rainy
conditions and the nearby homes being up
against a hillside, Norris said.
These officers were doing some really
good work under some really adverse cir-
cumstances, Norris said.
Although the incident appears to be iso-
lated, police are still determining if
Nguyen may be involved with other
crimes, Norris said.
Anyone with information should con-
tact the San Mateo Police Department at
522-7700.

A Santa Barbara man who reportedly
stabbed his friend during an argument after
attending a San Francisco 49ers game in
September will stand trial for attempted
murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Dustin Semenza, 28, is also accused of
using premeditation and causing great bodi-
ly injury in the Sept. 23 attack. He has
pleaded not guilty to all charges but was
held to answer Thursday after a preliminary
hearing.
South San Francisco police arrested
Semenza after responding
to the Residence Inn at
1350 Veterans Blvd.
around 2 a.m. on reports
of a stabbing in his
room.
The victims brother
said the three had come
from Santa Barbara for
the football game. After,
he and Semenza went to
San Francisco for drink-
ing while the 28-year-old returned to the
hotel room. The victim called them later,
asking them to come back with snacks but,
after they arrived, he and Semenza reported-
ly got into a heated argument because they
hadnt originally accompanied him to the
hotel. The brother left for the elevator and
Semenza joined him shortly after. The
brother returned to the room to check on the
victim and found him bleeding from seven
stab wounds.
Semenza remains in custody without bail
and returns to court March 14 to enter a
Superior Court plea.

Portola Valley man
imprisoned for tax failure
A Portola Valley man was sen-
tenced this week to a year and one
day in prison for failing to report a
Swiss bank account to the Internal
Revenue Service.
Prior to sentencing,
Christopher B. Berg paid the IRS
$250,000 plus a $287,896 penal-
ty for hiding the account he con-
trolled in 2005 at UBS in
Switzerland.
Berg must also spend three years
on supervised release after his
prison term.
Berg began working as a con-
sultant in 1999 and the following
year met with a Swiss nancial
consultant and UBS vice president
about establishing a bank account
to shelter some of his income from
taxation. Between 2001 and 2005,
Berg used wire transfers to deposit
$642,070 into the UBS accounts
and used the money to make pur-
chases and for travel, according to
the Department of Justice.
Berg did not disclose the
accounts to his certified public
accountant and did not share the
income in and earned by the
account.
Alleged armed robber

A 26-year-old Richmond man

employees.
Just before 10 a.m., San Mateo
police were called to the location
on the report of the armed robbery
and found two employees detain-
ing the man, identied as Vincent
Carter. When ofcers arrived, there
was still a ght
in the store,
according to
police.
Carter was
taken into cus-
tody and the
sawed-off shot-
gun allegedly
wielded by the
man was seized
as evidence, according to police.
There were no serious injuries,
according to police.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Federal
grand juries have indicted six cur-
rent and former San Francisco
police ofcers including one
from San Mateo charging three
with stealing money, drugs, elec-
tronics and gift cards seized during
investigations, federal prosecutors
announced Thursday.
According to the indictment, the
three took items they seized during
an arrest in 2009, including a $500
Apple gift card. Two days later, one
of them used the gift card to buy an
iPhone and iPod Nano, prosecutors
said.
They were identied as Sgt. Ian
Furminger, 47, of Pleasant Hill;
Ofcer Edmond Robles, 46, of
Danville; and former ofcer
Reynaldo Vargas, 45, of Palm
Desert.
The ofcers were suspended with-
out pay and had their guns taken
away, Police Chief Greg Suhr said
shortly after the indictments were
announced.
Our department is shaken. This
is as serious as an issue as I can
recall in my time in the depart-
ment, said an emotional Suhr, who
has been with the San Francisco
Police Department since 1981.
Suhr said federal authorities
assured him the arrests did not
reect a systemic problem in the
department.
Furminger, Robles and Vargas
each face two drug-related counts
carrying a maximum possible sen-
tence of 20 years in prison and a $1
million ne. They also face a charge
of civil rights conspiracy that car-
ries a sentence of up to 10 years and
a $250,000 ne.
In another incident the same
month, the indictment says, the
ofcers took marijuana. Vargas is
accused of delivering the pot to two
informants and asking them to sell
it and split the proceeds with him,
Furminger and Robles.
In a separate indictment, three
ofcers were charged with civil
rights violations. Prosecutors say
the ofcers entered hotel rooms
illegally and intimidated occu-
pants.
The charges were based on sur-
veillance footage from a hotel in
the citys Tenderloin neighborhood
that was released by the citys pub-
lic defender, Jeff Adachi, in 2011.
Adachi claimed the videos of plain-
clothes ofcers contradicted police
reports and sworn police testimo-
ny.
Those three defendants were iden-
tied as Ofcer Arshad Razzak, 41,
and Ofcer Richard Yick, 37, both
of San Francisco; and Ofcer Raul
Eric Elias, 44, of San Mateo. All
face three civil rights charges that
carry possible penalties of up to 10
years in prison and a $250,000
ne.
The indictment did not provide
additional detail about the alleged
illegal searches. But a civil lawsuit
led by three occupants of the Hotel
Henry in 2012 said Razzak, Elias,
and three other ofcers got the
hotels master key and forced their
way into rooms without a search
warrant or the occupants consent
on two separate occasions. They
allegedly searched the occupants
and the room and then made drug
arrests.
According to the lawsuit, a judge
concluded that video evidence con-
tradicted the ofcers testimony and
dismissed criminal charges against
the defendants.
The defendants in turn led a law-
suit against the arresting ofcers
and police departments. The Board
of Supervisors approved a
$150,000 settlement in December.
Razzak and Yick have also been
charged with falsifying police
reports.
None of the defendants in either
indictment could be reached for
comment.
Martin Halloran, president of the
San Francisco Police Ofcers
Association, said in a statement
that the indictments were apparent-
ly based on the questionable testi-
mony of unreliable informant wit-
nesses.
However, we do understand that
these are nonetheless serious
charges, Halloran said. It is
important to remember that the
accused ofcers will have their day

California senator seeks
review of paralysis cases
WASHINGTON Democratic Sen.
Barbara Boxer asked the federal Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention on Thursday
to initiate a formal
investigation into what
has caused polio-like
paralysis in about 20
children in California
over the past 18 months.
Boxer said we need
answers in her letter to
CDC Director Thomas
Frieden. In particular, she wants the agency
to look into whether the illness can be
traced to a virus or environmental factors.
She also wants to know whether the agency
is aware of similar reports of paralysis
nationwide.
These questions must be answered
because it is deeply disturbing to read
reports of otherwise healthy children expe-
riencing sudden paralysis, Boxer said in
her letter.
State human resource
department leaders step down
SACRAMENTO The top administrators
of the California Department of Human
Resources are leaving Friday as a state
watchdog agency criticizes the department
for failing to implement Gov. Jerrys
Browns government reforms.
The Sacramento Bee reported Thursday
that CalHR Director Julie Chapman is retir-
ing and her deputy, Howard Schwartz, is
leaving to resume his former civil service
job at the state pension fund.
They were tasked with implementing
Browns plan to make government more
efcient and effective through their depart-
ments job of handling labor relations and
employee management. That included
improving recruiting and employee reten-
tion across state government and encourag-
ing a work culture more nimble and less
bureaucratic.

LOS ANGELES California got some
badly needed precipitation Thursday from a
fast-moving storm that forecasters said would
be followed by heavier rains and snow and the
possibility of ooding and mud ows into
communities near areas scarred by wildres.
Despite sunny blue skies behind the rst
storm, mandatory evacuation orders were
issued for about 1,000 homes in two of Los
Angeles eastern foothill suburbs beneath
nearly 2,000 acres of steep mountain slopes
left bare by a January re.
For days, the cities of Glendora and Azusa
have made extensive preparations. Residents
built barriers of wood and sandbags to keep
debris ows in streets and out of homes.
In Glendora, Dana Waldusky, 22, hurried to
evacuate the family home, which backs up
against the burned area. She, her parents and
sister made sure they had important docu-
ments, photos, medicines and their tooth-
brushes packed.
We have an hour to get evacuated, she
said. Were just boarding up all our doors.
Last time, at the re, we had 15 minutes,
so this time we made sure we were prepared,
she said.
The home survived the re, which reght-
ers stopped 15 feet from their back fence.
This time theres nothing you can do. You
cant stop water, she said.
While concern was highest in the
Glendora-Azusa area, meteorologists also
posted ood watches for many other areas
denuded by res over the past two years. The
National Weather Service warned of possible
rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour as well
as waterspouts offshore and small tornados
when the next storm moves through the state
Friday.
Californias precipitation totals are far
below normal and it will take a series of
drenching storms to make a dent in a
statewide drought that is among the worst in
recent history.

SACRAMENTO California lawmakers
on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a $687
million plan to provide immediate relief to
drought-stricken communities, a package
that includes emergency money for commu-
nities running low on drinking water and
farming communities where fallowed elds
are leading to sky-high unemployment.
Amid one of Californias driest years on
record, the Assembly and Senate voted to
approve SB103 and SB104 and send the leg-
islation to Gov. Jerry Brown. The legisla-
tive package moved quickly after it was
announced last week by the governor and
Democratic legislative leaders. It will take
effect immediately if signed by the gover-
nor, as expected.
The plan redirects money in the state
budget and draws from two bonds previously
approved by voters.
It includes $472 million in accelerated
grant funding for water conservation and
recycling projects. Another $15 million
will go to communities running low on
drinking water supplies while $47 million
provides food and housing assistance for
people in drought-stricken communities.
This is a lot of money that will help
thousands of California families dealing
with the drought, Senate President Pro Tem
Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said.
The plan also increases penalties for ille-
gally diverting water and expands the State
Water Resources Control Boards authority
during a state of emergency. One provision
was amended Wednesday to limit the boards
ability to issue fines, after Republicans
raised concern about language infringing on
existing water rights.
The bills passed with large bipartisan
majorities, even though a handful of
Republicans in each house voted against
them.

Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
Thank you time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families whove been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying Youre welcome is
the correct response. Youre welcome, or
You are welcome, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term Youre welcome
being substituted with Thank you back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is OK, but saying Youre welcome first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that Thank you and Youre
welcome have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who weve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
whove discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
Thank you. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to

SACRAMENTO California businesses
and government agencies have experienced
300 separate data breaches exposing the
personal information of more than 20 mil-
lion customer accounts during the past two
years, leading state Attorney General
Kamala Harris on Thursday to elevate cyber-
security as a key focus of the states top
crime-ghting agency.
Harris said the California Department of
Justice will begin playing a more active role
in advising employers about cybersecurity,
while her ofce will be taking the lead on a
previously announced state-level investiga-
tion into some of the most significant
nationwide data breaches.
The 170 breaches reported to the attorney
generals ofce in 2013 represent a 30 per-
cent increase over the 131 identied the year
before, when state law required such report-
ing for the rst time, according to gures
provided to the Associated Press. Among
entities reporting breaches in 2012 were
American Express Travel Related Services
Co., Kaiser Permanente and several state
government agencies, including the depart-
ments of Public Health and Social Services.
A second report analyzing the 2013 data
thefts is scheduled to be released this
spring.
Electronic data breaches compromised
the Social Security numbers, credit card
and bank account information, and other
sensitive data on 21.3 million customer
accounts during the two-year period. The
actual number of victims is unknown
because many people could have had mul-
tiple accounts exposed.
California is at the center of the digital
revolution that is changing the world,
Harris said in an introductory letter for a new
cybersecurity business guide her department
released Thursday. Unfortunately, cyber-
crime, data breaches, theft of proprietary
information, hacking and malware incidents
are now routine.
Harris office also disclosed that
California is leading a multistate investiga-
tion into the massive holiday season con-
sumer data theft at discount retailer Target
Corp. and luxury retailer Neiman Marcus.
More than 7 million Californians were
affected by the Target breach alone, Special
Assistant Attorney General for Law and
Technology Jeff Rabkin said.
The U.S. Justice Department is taking the
lead in trying to identify the culprits, who
are suspected to be based overseas, while the
multistate investigation focuses on whether
the retailers share blame because they
lacked the necessary precautions to prevent
the thefts. The state investigation also will
explore whether Target and Neiman Marcus
acted properly as soon as they learned of the
problem, Rabkin said in a telephone inter-
view.
The investigation by some states has pre-
viously been disclosed, but not Californias
leadership role. Rabkin declined to give
details or say whether other retailers also are
under scrutiny, citing the ongoing investi-
gation.
Target Corp., the nations second-largest
retailer, was told of suspicious activity on
Dec. 12 and publicly announced the breach a
week later. It affected about 40 million cred-
it and debit card accounts nationwide.

FRESNO Drivers in California can
legally read a map on their hand-held cell-
phones while behind the wheel, a state
appeals court ruled Thursday.
The 5th District Court of Appeal reversed
the case of a Fresno man who was ticketed in
January 2012 for looking at a map on his
iPhone 4 while stuck in trafc. The driver,
Steven Spriggs, challenged the $165 ne.
But Spriggs said hes no champion of
those who think they can get away with
cruising down the road while staring at their
phone or engaging in other such dangerous
behavior. Spriggs would like the law that
ensnared him to be rewritten so ofcers can
do their job unencumbered.
Were distracted all the time, he said. If
our distractions cause us to drive erratically,
we should be arrested for driving erratical-
l y.
Its personal for Spriggs, whose son suf-
fered a broken leg from a driver who was
chatting on a cellphone. Spriggs said he
uses a hands-free device to talk and drive.
The incident that ensnared Spriggs hap-
pened when he was stopped by roadwork. He
had grabbed his cellphone to nd an alter-
nate route when a California Highway Patrol
ofcer on a motorcycle spotted him and
wrote the ticket.
Spriggs rst challenged the case in trafc
court, where he lost, and then appealed it
himself to a three-judge panel in Fresno
County Superior Court, where he lost a sec-
ond time.
Determined that the law didnt apply to
him, Spriggs took it to the appellate court,
but this time with help of a law rm that
stepped in to represent him pro bono.
In their 18-page ruling, the appellate
judges said Californias law that prohibits
people from talking on their cellphones
without a hands-free device could have been
written more clearly, but it doesnt apply to
looking at maps on cellphones. The law the
CHP ofcer used to ticket Spriggs applies
specically to people listening and talk-
ing on cellphones, not using their mobile
phone in other ways, the court said.
Texting while driving remains illegal
under another California law passed after the
one at issue in Spriggs case.
Attorney Scott Reddie, who represented
Spriggs, said its now up to the state attor-
ney generals ofce to decide if it will chal-
lenge Thursdays ruling to the California
Supreme Court, which is choosy about
which cases it hears. Nicholas Pacilio, a
spokesman for Attorney General Kamala
Harris, said the ofce is reviewing the rul-
i ng.
Neither Reddie nor Pacilio were familiar
with other states that prohibit drivers from
looking at cellphone map applications.
California court: Drivers
can read cellphone maps
The appellate judges said Californias law that prohibits people from talking on their cellphones
without a hands-free device could have been written more clearly, but it doesnt apply to
looking at maps on cellphones.

WASHINGTON Ice cream lovers
beware: The government knows
youre unlikely to stop after half a
cup.
New nutrition labels proposed
Thursday for many popular foods,
including ice cream, aim to more accu-
rately reect what people actually eat.
And the proposal would make calorie
counts on labels more prominent,
too, reecting that nutritionists now
focus more on calories than fat.
For the rst time, labels also would
be required to list any sugars that are
added by manufacturers.
In one example of the change, the
estimated serving size for ice cream
would jump from a half cup to a cup, so
the calorie listing on the label would
double as well.
The idea behind the change, the rst
overhaul of the labels in two decades,
isnt that the government thinks peo-
ple should be eating twice as much;
its that they should understand how
many calories are in what they already
are eating. The Food and Drug
Administration says that, by law,
serving sizes must be based on actual
consumption, not some ideal.
Our guiding principle here is very
simple, that you as a parent and a con-
sumer should be able to walk into your
local grocery store, pick up an item
off the shelf and be able to tell
whether its good for your family,
said rst lady Michelle Obama, who
joined the FDAin announcing the pro-
posed changes at the White House.
Mrs. Obama made the announcement
as part of her Lets Move initiative to
combat child obesity, which is mark-
ing its fourth anniversary. On
Tuesday, she announced new
Agriculture Department rules that
would reduce marketing of less-health-
ful foods in schools.
The new labels would be less clut-
tered. FDA Commissioner Margaret
Hamburg called them a more user-
friendly version.
But they are probably several years
away. The FDAwill take comments on
the proposal for 90 days, and a nal
rule could take another year. Once its
nal, the agency has proposed giving
industry two years to comply.
The agency projects food compa-
nies will have to pay around $2 bil-
lion to revise labels. Companies have
resisted some of the changes in the
past, including listing added sugars,
but the industry is so far withholding
criticism.
Pamela Bailey of the Grocery
Manufacturers Association, the indus-
try group that represents the nations
largest food companies, called the
proposal a thoughtful review.
It is still not yet clear what the nal
labels will look like. The FDAoffered
two labels in its proposal one that
looks similar to the current version
but is shorter and clearer and another
that groups the nutrients into a quick
facts category for things like fat, car-
bohydrates, sugars and proteins.

Wyoming top in CO2 per
person amid new regulations
CHEYENNE, Wyo. Turns out the worst state for carbon
dioxide emissions per person isnt smoggy California or
bustling New York, but a place famous for its big, clear
skies: Wyoming.
But regulating greenhouse gases is a touchy subject in the
least-populated state, which just recently received U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency approval to do so.
Wyoming also is the top coal-mining state by far, pro-
ducing almost 40 percent of the nations coal. Burning coal
to generate electricity produces large amounts of CO2 in
Wyoming, across the U.S., and in the Far Eastern countries
where state ofcials have sought to open up new coal mar-
kets.
Gov. Matt Mead made such a trip to Taiwan and South
Korea last year. Meanwhile, hes called EPAefforts to curtail
greenhouse emissions a war on coal and said at a recent
forum hes skeptical about man-made climate change.
What he also says is we do have a responsibility to
always do things better, Mead spokesman Renny MacKay
said Thursday. The coal industry has to be protable if its
going to invest in the research and development of new
technologies.
MacKay highlighted the states efforts to make its coal
cleaner: $50 million allocated toward new coal-burning
technology at the University of Wyoming and plans by the
state to support a proposed $10 million X Prize to develop
economically feasible carbon-capture technology at an
operational coal-red power plant.
Obama seeks more
federal spending to train doctors
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama will ask
Congress to approve spending more than $5 billion on
medical training to turn out some 13,000 primary care
providers over the next 10 years.
Obama will include the proposal in the budget he sends to
Congress next week. The new funding is aimed at training
more doctors who can work in underserved areas, including
rural communities.
The presidents budget also will seek to expand the
National Health Service Corps, a federal program that con-
nects primary care physicians with communities in need.
Obama wants to expand the corps from 8,900 providers to
15,000 over the next six years.

WASHINGTON Adivided Senate
on Thursday derailed Democratic leg-
islation that would have provided
$21 billion for medical, education
and job-training benefits for the
nations veterans. The bill fell vic-
tim to election-year disputes over
spending and fresh penalties against
Iran.
Each party covets the allegiance of
the countrys 22 million veterans and
their families, and each party blamed
the other for turning the effort into a
chess match aimed at forcing politi-
cally embarrassing votes.
Republicans used a procedural move
to block the bill after Senate
Veterans Affairs Committee
Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., chid-
ed GOP lawmakers about their priori-
ties.
I have a hard time understanding
how anyone could vote for tax breaks
for billionaires, for millionaires, for
large corporations and then say we
dont have the resources to protect our
veterans, said Sanders, the measures
chief author.
Democrats noted that more than two
dozen veterans groups supported the
legislation. But Republicans said
they still favor helping veterans
while also wanting to be prudent
about federal spending.
Were not going to be intimidated
on this, said Sen. Jeff Sessions of
Alabama, top Republican on the
Senate Budget Committee. Were
going to do the right things for the
veterans of America.
The fight over priorities demon-
strated again the bitter divisions that
have restrained the legislative
process in recent years. Efforts to
address immigration, a tax overhaul
and job creation all seem likely to go
nowhere this year.

Continue the
coexistence at Fort Funston
Editor,
Standing on the Fort Funston costal
bluffs 200 feet above the sea you are
reminded why we live in one of the
greatest places on Earth. Equally
enchanting is the fact that Fort
Funston is a rare recreational oppor-
tunity. Children hop along decom-
missioned World War II bunkers while
hang gliders y above nature enthusi-
asts who, depending on the day, are
there to enjoy the Native Plant
Nursery or waiting patiently to catch
a glimpse of passing whale pods.
Fitness buffs hike or bike along the
web of trails which are shared with
dog walkers and horseback riders.
The rare coexistence among Fort
Funston lovers has existed for gener-
ations and so it is understandable why
residents have been alarmed that the
National Park Service, Golden Gate
National Recreational Area division,
has proposed drastic changes to dog
walking policies at Fort Funston.
Currently, dogs under the close super-
vision of their owners are allowed off
leash in nearly all areas of Fort
Funston except for fenced
wildlife/habitat protection areas. I am
concerned by how many new areas
will be prohibited or restricted for
dog walkers under the current propos-
al.
As a resident of Daly City and a dog
owner myself, I enjoy visiting Fort
Funston. The responsibility falls on
owners to control their dogs but by
reducing the amount of trails people
can access with their pets and citing
people for violations, GGNRAwill be
discouraging people from engaging
in outdoor activities and enjoying
their national park lands. Multiple
user groups have been enjoying these
areas together in the past and my
hope is that the GGNRAcontinues the
traditional use of Fort Funston in the
future.

Letter to the editor
By Charlie Bronitsky
T
rafc and pedestrian safety has
come to the forefront in
Foster City, primarily as a
result of several accidents involving
pedestrians. One intersection in par-
ticular has become a topic of some
controversy based on decision made
by the City Council to close that
intersection to pedestrian trafc. That
issue will come before the council
again March 3 and we will also be
studying trafc and pedestrian safety
on a citywide basis sometime later
this year.
To say that I have agonized over
this issue would be an understatement.
The safety of everyone in Foster City
is the highest of priorities not only
for me but for the entire City Council.
It is why we have the police and re
departments that we have, it is why
we work with the school district on
crossing guards there is nothing of
higher priority. However, while the
point of this piece is not to lay blame
for the past accidents, what we can
learn from them, and from looking at
safe and unsafe behavior around us,
can help us be safer in the future.
I was not present at any of the
recent pedestrian-involved accidents,
but I have been told that, in each
instance, inattention to the situation
was a major factor in the accident.
What I have seen with my own eyes is
what follows:
The other day, I came home from
dropping my dogs at the groomer and
observed the morning dropoff at
Brewer Island Elementary School.
There was someone stopped in my
driveway and while I was in front of
my own house I saw parents jaywalk-
ing their kids
across the street,
letting their kids
off in the middle of
the street on the
drivers side into
oncoming trafc,
people trying to
pass one another
on my small nar-
row street, people going through stop
signs, people failing to yield to
pedestrians in the crosswalk and the
list goes on.
What I have learned from all this is
that if we want to improve safety we
must increase awareness of safety and
work to get everyone to make a per-
sonal commitment to safer practices.
To get that process started, I emailed
our police chief, city manager and the
school superintendent, and we are
already working on an education pro-
gram for all four of our local schools.
I have also spoken to the Chamber of
Commerce about involving our busi-
nesses in safety programs and I spoke
with the government affairs director
of the California Apartment
Association about doing an outreach
program to those who live in our
apartment buildings. This, however,
is just the beginning.
The point of doing all this is that
no stop sign, no trafc light, no
crosswalk is going to make things
safer until people pay attention and
take responsibility for their own safe-
ty and the safety of others. Three of
the four recent accidents involving
pedestrians were at intersections with
trafc signals and controlled cross-
walks. The night the issue rst came
before the council, I said it was an
issue of personal responsibility and I
continue to believe it.
This is my pulpit and I am preach-
ing safety to you as strongly and as
loudly as I can. Put away your cell-
phones while you are driving. Stop
texting while crossing a street. Use
the crosswalks and pay attention to
the lights and crossing signs. Dont
let your kids run across the street in
front of trafc. Look right, not just
left, when you want to make a right
on red. Wait until the crosswalk is
completely clear before driving
across it. Stop at stop signs. Be con-
scious of safety every time you get in
your car or cross a street. Not just
your safety and the safety of your
children, but everyones safety. Forty
miles per hour means 40 miles per
hour and not 50 down a local city

if you got into an accident and some-
one was hurt, or even worse.
I am sorry to lecture that is not
my intent but I see no other way to
raise the awareness necessary to make
our streets safer. I hope as we proceed
through 2014 that you will see circu-

ing our streets as safe as they can be.
Please, for the sake of our children
and everyone who uses our streets,
remember to be safe every time you

Sneaky sneak
S
neaking onto airplanes without a ticket isnt sup-
posed to y but apparently its no big deal as long
as you claim cancer.
Earlier this month, a 62-year-old woman reportedly tried
three separate times only a few days apart to sneak onto
Hawaii-bound ights out of San Francisco International
Airport. The rst time she actually made in onboard until
oopsie! the actual seat holder showed up and threw a
little salt in her game. Lets hope she at least went for rst
class. If youre going to skirt the law, go big or go home.
In her case, after being escorted from the plane thats
exactly where she went.
The next two times she was
stopped at the security gate
although she gets credit for once
trying to use a discarded board-
ing pass belonging to someone
else. The third try was far from a
charm and airport police actually
arrested her.
Lets think about this a
minute. This woman who Im
assuming has no secret stealthy
ninja skills or invisibility cloak
was able to sashay through sev-
eral security checks at least
the rst time around and get onto a plane with no prob-
lem. Meanwhile, when I brave the airport, the
Transportation Security Administration leaves no stone
unturned. They look down at my pass, then up to me, then
down to the drivers license, then back to my face and
then over to the pass where they scribble some very
important lines and dots that resemble chicken scratch.
The next eet of agents who weve been led to believe are
the only thing standing between us and the big, bad ter-
rorists then go to town throwing out the oversized sun-
screen and inspecting the toothpaste, double and triple
checking that the underwire isnt some fancy hidden
weapon and sending my carry-on bag through the X-ray
machine multiple times just because the cord on my hair
straightener is borderline suspicious.
I get it. The TSAis too busy protecting the masses from
sketchy hair gel and emery boards to see if every single
person shufing through the security line is in fact secure.
Frankly, I am jealous of this woman. Sure, Ill take the
free ride but the real source of envy is sidestepping the
aviation equivalent of a slow-moving Russian breadline.
But put all that aside. This crafty would-be passenger
isnt the rst to get aboard a plane without the proper
paperwork and she will undoubtedly not be the last to sim-
ply wing it.
The real head scratcher in this case is how authorities let
her go not once but twice. The district attorney said the
woman told them she has ovarian cancer and was just try-
ing to get some place warm to die.
Ah, yes. The old cancer excuse. Works every time. I
dont purport to know if the woman really is ill but if so I
do empathize the desire to spend ones nal days basking
in tropical sunshine rather than bundling up in the blus-
tery Bay (although to be fair theres been little blustery
about this winter). I also dont know if the woman really
couldnt afford a ight or if she was merely seeing what
she could get away with and gured even an economy seat
without leg room beat out hiding in the wheel well.
In fact, I dont need to know any of that to know this:
cancer isnt a valid excuse. The sympathy points might
work for her but it certainly shouldnt for those airport
authorities who showed her the door. Once, maybe,
although that rst try was allegedly the one where she
made the most headway toward the goal. But what hap-
pened when she came back the second time? And the use of
somebody elses boarding pass this lady had a plan and
people with plans are usually not the ones the TSAand
police want queuing up for vacation. They want people
who will blindly follow orders to take off ones shoes,
power down the laptop during takeoff and refrain from dif-
cult questions like Can I at least get a pillow for free?
I bet if this woman was younger, male or swarthier there
was no way she would get a slap on the wrist no matter
how much cancer she claimed. Or, maybe this catch-and-
release happens more than the average person realizes.
That idea doesnt do much to instill a sense of security,
either.
The last thing airport security needs is more Big
Brother tactics and cranky attitudes. But the appearance of
bending too far in the opposite direction is problematic,
t oo.
For her sake, I hope this woman does not have cancer.
For the authorities, I hope there were more legitimate cir-
cumstances at play to which we are not privy because
being ill doesnt give one a pass, boarding or otherwise.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK After coming close
all week, the stock market reached an
all-time high Thursday.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
had moved above its previous record
many times this week, only to fade in
the afternoon. On Thursday, it nally
closed above the milestone, powered
by strong earnings from a number of
U.S. companies including the drug-
maker Mylan and several retailers.
The stock market has staged an
impressive turnaround in February. It
slumped at the start of the year on con-
cerns about the prospects for growth
in China and the U.S. This month,
buyers came back to the market thanks
to growth in corporate earnings and
optimism that the Federal Reserve
will keep supporting the economy.
In the last few days weve irted
with it, and now weve got the new
high, said Ryan Detrick, a senior
technical strategist at Schaeffers
Investment Research.
The timing of the record, just before
the start of spring, could help the mar-
ket extend its gains, Detrick said.
March has been the third-strongest
month over the last 30 years for the
S&P 500, with an average gain of 1.4
percent, according to the Stock
Traders Almanac.
It bodes well for equities for the
next couple of months, at least, said
Detrick.
The S&P 500 rose 9.13 points, or
0.5 percent, to 1,854.29. It last
closed at a record high of 1,848.38 on
Jan. 15.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 74.24, or 0.5, percent, to
16,272.65. The Dow is still about 1.8
percent below its record close of
16, 576. 66. The Nasdaq composite
climbed 26.87 points, or 0.6 percent,
to 4,318.93. The Nasdaq is also short
of its record close of 5,048.62 set in
March 2000.
On Thursday, generic drugmaker
Mylan led the S&P 500 index higher
after reporting an 11 percent increase
in fourth-quarter earnings, beating
analysts expectations. Mylans stock
climbed $4.85, or 9.4 percent, to
$56.27.
Investors were encouraged by better
results at a range of retailers.
J.C. Penney jumped $1.51, or 25
percent, to $7.47 after the department
store chain swung to a prot in the
fourth quarter after posting a big loss
in the same period a year earlier.
Penney also reported its rst quarterly
gain in a key revenue gure in more
than two years.
Kohls rose $1.30, 2.4 percent, to
$55.74 after the department store
operator reported earnings that topped
analysts estimates. Revenue fell but
met Wall Streets expectations.
After a tough start to the year,
investor sentiment has shifted in
February.
The S&P 500 was down almost six
percent for the year at the start of
February. Investors were selling
stocks as manufacturing contracted in
China and as currencies in emerging
market nations such as Turkey and
Argentina plummeted against the dol-
lar. The S&P 500 erased those losses
this month and is now positive for the
year.
Some of the shift in sentiment was
also thanks to the new Federal Reserve
chief, Janet Yellen.
Stocks jumped on Feb. 11, when
Yellen told Congress she would con-
tinue the central banks market-friend-
l y, low-interest rate policies. The
comments were her rst since taking
over from Ben Bernanke earlier this
month.
On Thursday, Yellen told the Senate
Banking Committee that some recent
economic data have suggested slug-
gish growth in consumer spending
and employment. She said the Fed will
be watching to see if the slowdown
proves to be a temporary blip caused
by the severe winter weather. This
time, Yellens testimony didnt have
the same impact on the stock market
as it did earlier.
Stocks reach all-time high
By Anne DInnocenzio
NEW YORK Gap Inc.s fourth-quarter
profit dropped 12.5 percent as the cloth-
ing retailer discounted heavily over the
holiday shopping season to entice cus-
tomers.
The clothing chain, which operates Gap,
Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta,
also issued a profit outlook for this year
thats below analysts expectation.
The results issued Thursday come after
Gap, like many retailers, finished a brutal
holiday season marked by heavy discount-
ing to help attract shoppers whove been
cautious in a sluggish economy. Gap did
its part by offering constant sales. Still,
its faring better than other rivals like
Abercrombie & Fitch, whose fourth-quarter
profit dropped 58 percent.
The results underscore the challenges
that Gap faces in keeping the momentum
going since enjoying a turnaround starting
in early 2012. Gap has been stepping up
its marketing and offering trendier mer-
chandise.
The San Francisco-based company is
also responding to a shift among con-
sumers to shop and research on mobile
devices. For example, Gap is expanding a
service that allows shoppers to reserve
items online and then pick up the mer-
chandise at the store within 24 hours.
Still, Glenn Murphy, Gap Inc.s CEO,
told investors on a conference call
Thursday that Gap, like other retailers,
needs to combat the promotional environ-
ment by offering shoppers something
new.
We got to continue as a business to be
innovative and creative and bring reasons
for people to engage in our brands, either
online or in our stores, that are not rooted
in promotions and discounts with a fre-
quency in which theyre rooted in today,
said Murphy.
The retailer earned $307 million, or 68
cents per share, in the three-month period
ended Feb. 1. That compares with $351
million, or 73 cents per share, in the year-
ago period, which included an extra week.
Revenue fell 3 percent, to $4.58 billion
from $4.73 billion.
Analysts were expecting earnings of 65
cents per share on revenue of $4.58 billion
for the quarter, according to FactSet.
Revenue at stores opened at least a year
a key gauge of a retailers health rose
1 percent.
Gap expects earnings per share in the
range of $2.90 to $2.95 for the year that
runs through January 2015. Analysts had
expected $3.02 per share, on average.
Aweek ago, Gap said that it would raise
the wages of 65,000 of its hourly workers
nationwide to $9 an hour this year and $10
an hour in 2015. Gap had declined to com-
ment on how much the pay hike will cost
the company, but said there are no plans
for cuts in jobs or store hours or increases
in prices to cover the costs.
Gaps fourth-quarter profit down 12.5 percent
Study: Hard times drive
adult kids to return home
LOS ANGELES A new study reports
that more than 2.3 million adult children are
living with their parents in California, a 63
percent increase since the Great Recession
began seven years ago.
Researchers say the rush back home is
driven by unemployment, home foreclo-
sures and other nancial woes.
The study, released Thursday by the UCLA
Center for Health Policy Research, found
that more than a half-million adult children
who returned home are living with parents
65 or older. Nearly half of those children are
unemployed.
Wells Fargo cuts 700
jobs from mortgage unit
MINNEAPOLIS Wells Fargo & Co. is
cutting 700 jobs from its home lending
business as mortgage refinancing slows
down.
Most lenders have said they saw fewer
renancings once interest rates began to
rise midway through last year. Wells Fargo
spokesman Tom Goyda says the number of
new mortgages is continuing to drop during
the rst quarter of this year, although not as
fast as it dropped last year.
The workers who will lose their jobs were
notied on Wednesday.
NEW YORK EBays founder Pierre
Omidyar on Thursday said billionaire
investor Carl Icahns claims that the com-
pany is not operating in the best manner
for shareholders arent merited.
In three letters to shareholders over
three days, Icahn has urged the company
to split off its PayPal unit, which is the
fastest growing unit of the e-commerce
company and accounts for about 40 per-
cent of its revenue. Icahn has also lev-
eled attacks at two directors and company
CEO John Donahoe. In his latest letter,
Icahn said responses to his letters from
eBays public relations machines
arent sticking to the facts.
On Thursday, founder and chairman
Omidyar said Icahn is making unsubstanti-
ated claims about the company and delib-
erately impugning the integrity of our
directors. He said the idea of splitting off
PayPal is not a new one and that eBay has
considered it and decided against it in the
past.
After diligent consideration, we believe
that PayPal and eBay are better together,
Omidyar said. In the future, if we deter-
mine thats no longer true, we will act
accordingly and in the best interests of
shareholders and the company.
EBay bought PayPal for $1.3 billion in
late 2002. Recently, PayPal has been
expanding into brick-and-mortar stores
from serving solely as an online payments
service.
In January, EBay said Icahn had taken a
less than 1 percent stake in the company
and said he was seeking a non-binding
shareholder resolution to spin off PayPal.
At the time Icahn also nominated two of
his employees for eBays board. EBay said
then that it had looked into a split from
PayPal, but felt it wasnt the best move for
shareholders. But it said it will review
Icahns nominees.
Shares of eBay rose $1.11, or nearly 2
percent, to $58.45 in midday trading. The
stock has risen about 6 percent since the
beginning of the year.
EBay founder defends plan to retain PayPal
SAN FRANCISCO Googles mystery
barge is heading on a short cruise to comply
with an order requiring it to move from its
current home on a San Francisco Bay island.
The agency leasing the Treasure Island
space where the barge is being built says the
four-story vessel is bound for the Port of
Stockton, a destination located about 80
miles east of San Francisco.
The barge is supposed to move by March
7, according to Mirian Saez, director of
operations for the Treasure Island
Development Authority, which rented the
vessels current home.
Google Inc. and the Port of Stockton did-
nt immediately respond to requests for
comment.
The barge is leaving because of a Jan. 31
regulatory order concluding that Google did-
nt have the proper building permits at
Treasure Island. The Port of Stockton falls
outside the jurisdiction of the San Francisco
Bay Conservation and Development
Commission, the regulator that cracked
down on the barge.
Google had halted work on the barge late
last year amid speculation that the
Mountain View, Calif., company was build-
ing an aquatic store to sell its products or a
party boat.
The company says the barge will serve as
an interactive technology center once its
done. A similar barge is being built by
Google on the East Coast, too.

Count the Notre Dame-Belmont girls
basketball team among those squads that
qualied for the Central Coast Section play-
offs with a well below .500 record.
At 9-16, the Tigers join the likes of
Milpitas (6-15), Willow Glen (8-15), and
James Lick (9-11), among several others, as
teams who many will question why they
were extended an invitation with losing
records.
CCS rules stipulate, however, that all a
team must accomplish during the season is
compile a .500 record in either non-league
play, league play or overall. By virtue of its
8-4 non-league record, Notre Dame-
Belmont qualied for the CCS Division IV
tournament.
Unlike those other schools, which were
either unseeded or earned a high number, the
Tigers were chosen as the No. 1 seed in
Division IV. A such, the Tigers received a
bye into Saturdays quarternals at home,
against a team and a time to be determined.
I knew we were going to be in the top
four, Notre Dame coach Josh Davenport
said. Im not too surprised (we got the No.
1 seed).
What gives? If people want to assign
blame, assign it to the West Catholic
Athletic League, arguably the toughest
league in Northern California. To demon-
strate just how strong the WCAL is, consid-
er this: all seven schools in the league qual-
ied for CCS. WCAL champion Sacred Heart
Cathedral (10-2 WCAL, 19-6), is the No. 1
seed in the Open Division, and is joined by
three other WCAL schools No. 2 St.
Ignatius (10-2, 23-4), No. 3 Mitty (8-4, 16-
10) and No. 5 Presentation (5-7, 15-10).
Those seeding reect where the schools
nished in the WCAL standings.
The WCALs fourth-place team, St.
Francis (6-6, 14-10), is the No. 1 seed in the
Division II bracket. Valley Christian (2-10,
12-13), the sixth-place finisher in the
WCAL, is the No. 1 seed in Division III.

The Hillsdale boys basketball twice left
the door open to let El Camino steal a win in
a second-round, Central Coast Section
Division III matchup Thursday night in San
Mateo.
But each time, El Camino could not bust
through.
Justin Ono drained a bucket to put the
Knights up 56-55 with 1:04 left to play.
With 21 seconds left, Brian Houle missed the
front end of a 1-and-1 from the free throw
line, but the Colts could not take advantage
as a Christian Santos jumped from the corner
came up short. Ono grabbed the rebound and
was fouled with 2.4 seconds to play, but he
also missed the front end of a 1-and-1.
El Camino grabbed the rebound and called
a timeout with 2.2 seconds to play, but
Brandon Gips three-quarter 3-point attempt
came up well short and the Knights escaped
with the win.
Weve been on the other side of those,
said Hillsdale coach Brett Stevenson. It felt
good to get that one.
Hillsdale (13-12), the No. 8 seed, will face
top-seeded Mills (21-6) in a quarterfinal
game at 6:15 Saturday at Foothill College.
The game was as entertaining as they come
as neither team led by more than a few
points. It got off to a rip roarin start as the
teams combined for 38 points in the rst
quarter. With the score tied at 6, Hillsdale
went on a 7-0 run, with Ryan Nurre doing the
damage. He scored off a drive for a layup,
then stole a pass and went in for another
layup before draining a 3 to put the Knights
up 13-6 with 4:36 left in the opening period.
El Camino (9-16) came right back with a
9-0 run. DJ Idolyantes drained a 3, Gip
knocked down a jumper, Justin Shuen came
up with a steal and layup and Gip then closed
the run with another jumper and the Colts led
15-13 with 3:17 to play in the rst.
At the end of the opening quarter, El
Camino held an 18-16 lead.
The teams would go back and forth at other
like that all game long.
Its a game of runs. Every time wed get
Knights hold off Colts

PHILADELPHIA The San Jose Sharks
made a simple change to rally for a come-
back victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.
They started shooting the puck.
Joe Pavelski had a hat trick to move into
a tie for second in the NHL in goals and the
Sharks beat Philadelphia 7-3 Thursday
night in the rst game for both teams fol-
lowing the Olympic break.
Raffi Torres and Logan Couture each
scored twice in their return to San Joses
lineup following injuries.
The Sharks trailed 2-1 after getting out-
shot 10-4 in the rst period. San Jose made
a pointed effort to shoot the puck in the sec-
ond period and it paid off in a big way,
resulting in ve second-period goals on 16
shots.
We started to nally shoot the puck,
Couture said. The rst period we werent
shooting. We were playing in their end, but
we werent shooting. Thats more the way
we play, the way we need to play. A lot of
our goals were off rebounds, and thats the
way you score in this league.
Pavelski, one of the Sharks four
Olympians, scored all three of his goals in
the dominating second period. Torres, who
was making his 2013-14 debut after injur-
ing his knee in the preseason, capped the
second-period spree with his second goal of
the game with 2.2 seconds left. Couture,
who missed the previous 16 games due to
hand surgery, netted his 15th goal of the
season in the period.
We didnt have a lot of purpose in our
game in the rst period, especially in their
zone, Sharks coach Todd McLellan said.
Kind of skating around waiting for some-
thing to happen.
Pavelskis hat trick lifts Sharks past Flyers

STANFORD Kodi Whiteld made one of
the most incredible touchdown catches in
college football last season in a win over
UCLA that kept Stanford on track for a sec-
ond straight Pac-12 Conference champi-
onship.
If Whiteld has his way, hell be breaking
up catches like that next season.
Whiteld is trying to transition from wide
receiver to free safety this spring. Stanford
is loaded at receiver but
short one spot in the sec-
ondary, with first-team
Pac-12 safety Ed
Reynolds headed to the
NFL draft.
After losing the Rose
Bowl to Michigan State
on Jan. 1, Cardinal coach
David Shaw began exam-
ining his roster for play-
ers who could fill
Reynolds role. He kept coming back to
Whiteld, who played safety at Loyola High
School in Los Angeles and is known as
Sweet Feet by teammates for his smooth
route running.
I gave Kodi the option: the chance to
compete for a starting spot at free safety or
stay in the competition at receiver and still
play, Shaw said. It was not a decision
made by me. It was a decision made by Kodi.
I presented both options to him. If he want-
ed to stay at receiver, hed stay and hed
make plays for us. But he saw theres an
open spot, hes got a chance to compete for
it and hes excited about it.
Whitfield said he consulted with his
father, former NFL offensive lineman Bob
Whiteld, before making the move. But the
decision was an easy one.
I pretty much jumped on it, Whiteld
said. I knew I could contribute right away. I

The Scots fell behind the Matadors 2-0
after one inning, but scored seven in the
second and three more in the third to take a

Local sports roundup
ALLEN, Texas A $60 million Texas
high school stadium that got national atten-
tion for its grandeur and price tag will be
shut down indenitely 18 months after its
opening, school district officials said
Thursday.
Eagle Stadium in the Dallas suburb of
Allen will be closed until at least June for an
examination of extensive cracking in the
concrete of the stadiums concourse, the dis-
trict said in a statement Thursday. The clo-
sure will likely affect home games at the sta-
dium this fall, the district said.
Built in 2012 as part of a $120 million
bond issue, Eagle Stadium seats 18,000 peo-
ple and sports a 38-foot-wide video board.
Eagle Stadiums opening was a moment of
triumph for the community of Allen, a fast-
growing Dallas suburb that has become
home to a high school football powerhouse.
The Eagles won the Class 5ADivision I state
championship last year.
District ofcials defended the cost an
eye-popping gure even in football-mad
Texas, home to hundreds of schools playing
under the Friday Night Lights by call-
ing the stadium an investment for genera-
tions of future Eagles fans and a much-need-
ed upgrade from the districts previous 35-
year-old eld.
They planned to host state playoff games
and other events at Eagle Stadium. Instead,
the districts graduation ceremonies will be
affected and all other events are now on hold.
This is a signicant investment for our
community. We are very disappointed and
upset that these problems have arisen, said
interim superintendent Beth Nicholas said.
It is unacceptable. Our students, families,
and the entire community have always sup-
ported the district and our commitment to
them is to make sure this issue is appropri-
ately resolved.
Ofcials said an engineering rm has com-
pleted about 10 percent of its review of the
stadium. It is expected to recommend
appropriate repairs, the statement said.
PBK Architects, the Texas firm that
designed the stadium, did not return a mes-
sage seeking comment Thursday.

49ers, Daniel Kilgore
agree to 3-year extension
SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco
49ers and offensive lineman Daniel Kilgore
have agreed to a three-year contract exten-
sion through the 2017 season.
The 49ers announced the deal Thursday.
San Francisco selected Kilgore in the fth
round of the 2011 draft out of Appalachian
State. He has played in 33 regular-season
games, plus all six playoff games the last
two seasons. He has split time at guard and
center.
With veteran center Jonathan Goodwin set
to become an unrestricted free agent,
Kilgore could take over the starting center
role next season. Goodwin has started every
game for the 49ers the last three seasons
under coach Jim Harbaugh.
Niners general manager Trent Baalke said
in a statement that Kilgores deal is anoth-
er example of our philosophy to extend the
contracts of our own young players.
Braun homers in
return, Brewers beat As
PHOENIX Ryan Braun hit a two-run
homer in his rst at-bat back from suspen-
sion, Juan Francisco slugged two homers
and the Milwaukee Brewers opened their
spring training schedule with an 11-3 win
Thursday over the Oakland Athletics.
Braun hit an 0-1 pitch from starter Tommy
Milone high in the air and over the fence
near the left-eld corner. The 2011 NL MVP
was greeted by mainly a hearty chorus of
cheers, though there were some jeers before
the at-bat.
It was Brauns rst time in the Brewers
lineup since July 21, 2013. He was suspend-
ed the next day for violating Major League
Baseballs anti-drug agreement.
Milone was tagged for three runs in two
innings, while Jed Lowrie had a two-run dou-
ble in the rst for Oakland.
As acquire INF
Elmore from White Sox
PHOENIX The Oakland Athletics have
acquired infielder Jake Elmore from the
Chicago White Sox for cash considerations.
The As made the move Thursday, a day
after the White Sox designated Elmore for
assignment.
Elmore has a .223 average in 82 major
league games, primarily with the Houston
Astros. Hes a career .291 hitter with 110
stolen bases in six minor league seasons.
Elmore, who played with As inelder Eric
Sogard at Arizona State, was a Triple-AAll-
Star in 2012.
In a corresponding move, the As desig-
nated inelder Andy Parrino for assignment.
He who appeared in 14 games with Oakland
last year.
Warrant for Sharper
in Louisiana; accused of rape
NEW ORLEANS An arrest warrant has
been issued for former NFL safety Darren
Sharper and another man, accusing them of
raping two women in New Orleans last year.
Sharper also is under investigation in sex-
ual assault cases in Florida, Nevada and
Arizona and has pleaded not guilty to rape
charges in Los Angeles.
The Orleans Parish District Attorneys
Ofce and New Orleans Sex Crimes detec-
tives Thursday obtained warrants for the 38-
year-old Sharper and 26-year-old Erik
Nunez. Each faces two counts of aggravated
rape.
New Orleans police say the two women
were raped at the same location on Sept. 23.
Sharper was selected All-Pro six times and
chosen for the Pro Bowl ve times. He
played in two Super Bowls, one with the
Packers as a rookie and a second with the
Saints.

[the lead] to four or six, we thought it should
go to 12, Stevenson said.
But the Colts would come right back.
We noticed in some scouting lm against
Aragon, every time it looked like Aragon
was going to put [El Camino] away, they
would come right back, Stevenson said.
[The Colts] are active with their press and it
leads to their runs. We didnt handle it very
well.
Hillsdales Adam Schembri tied the score
at 18 off a fastbreak layup to open the sec-
ond quarter, but a bucket from William Vu put
the Colts back ahead. An Elijah Jones-Haley
bucket underneath pushed the Colts lead to
22-18 with 4:30 left in the quarter.
Hillsdale had its chances and got great
looks in the second quarter, but the Knights
could not get their shots to fall.
Nurre, who nished with 13 points, came
up with a steal and layup, was fouled on the
play and hit the free throw to complete the
three-point play and the Knights closed to
one, 22-21.
Nurre was unbelievable tonight,
Stevenson said. Without him, were not in
that game with two minutes to play.
Whenever [the Colts] started making runs,
he made a big play defensively to stop
them.
Houle then knocked down a 3 to put
Hillsdale up 24-22 and a layup from Adam
Cook gave the Knights a 26-24 advantage at
halftime.
Hillsdale opened the third quarter with a 7-
3 run to open up a 33-27 lead and by the time
Matt Stucke knocked down a baseline jumper
with three seconds left in the third, the
Knights had a 40-35 lead going into the
nal eight minutes.
That lead was shortlived. El Camino came
out on re to start the fourth quarter. AJones-
Haley bucket sparked an 8-0 run to start the
quarter, as the Colts came up with a pair of
steals for a two easy layups. When Gip
knocked down a shot with 6:47 to play, the
Colts enjoyed a 43-40 lead.
A Schembri 3, however, tied the game at
43 and the teams went back and forth for the
rest of the game. El Caminos last lead came
at the 1:18 mark when Idolyantes knocked
down his second 3 of the night to put the
Colts up 55-54, setting up the last frantic
nal seconds.
In addition to Nurres 13 points, Schembri
also had 13, Houle added nine and Ono
chipped in with eight.
Were more balanced (scoring), for sure,
Stevenson said.
El Camino was led by Gip, who scored a
game high 23 points. Jones-Haley added 11,
but Idolyantes, who had been carrying the
Colts all season long, was held to just six
points on two 3-pointers.
We just tried to locate him out of our
zone. Tried to get a body on him,
Stevenson said. Someone else could beat
us, but he wasnt going to beat us.

feel comfortable at safety already, just
grasping from high school knowledge and
experience. Its really just a good opportu-
nity.
Stanford players shifting positions has
not been that uncommon in recent seasons.
Dallas Lloyd, who ran some read-options
as a backup quarterback last season, moved
to safety in December and is among those
competing with Whiteld this spring. Luke
Kaumatule transitioned from defensive end
to tight end and back. And perhaps most
famously, Richard Sherman shifted from
wide receiver to cornerback, a position
where he has become among the NFLs best
for the Super Bowl champion Seattle
Seahawks.
Now Whiteld is trying to make a similar
switch.
The 6-foot-2, 196-pound Whiteld played
sparingly as a freshman and made 16 catch-
es for 170 yards and a touchdown as a soph-
omore last season. But he showed off his
big-play ability with that lone score.
While running to his right on a deep
route, Whiteld leaped in the air off his left
foot and reached up to make a backhanded
catch with his right hand between two
defenders. The point of the ball stuck to his
palm, and he hauled in the 30-yard TD recep-
tion to put Stanford up 10-3 in the third
quarter of an eventual 24-10 win against
UCLAon Oct. 19.
Shaw said theres a chance Whiteld could
someday play on both sides of the ball. He
also could keep returning punts, a job he
shared with Barry Sanders most of last sea-
son, or go back to receiver.
For now, he wants Whiteld focused on
safety and learning all the defensive calls
which hes been studying with strong safety
Jordan Richards since the Rose Bowl.
Its pretty difcult, just because youre
more vocal on defense, Whitfield said.
Theres a lot of on-the-y adjustments you
got to make, adjusting where the offense
lines up, stuff like that. Its been a little bit
difcult, just fast-paced, but Ill get a hold of
it.
The other thing Whiteld still needs to
gure out is his new number.
When the rst half of Stanfords split
spring practice schedule began Monday,
Whiteld was wearing his usual No. 9 but
in Cardinal red, which defensive players
usually sport.
The problem? Linebacker James
Vaughters already wears No. 9, and players
on the same side of the ball cant have the
same number, so Whiteld will have to nd
a new number if he sticks at safety.
Most teammates are still just trying to
STANFORD
Belmont is consistently thumped in league
play by six of the toughest teams in
Northern California.
I started to realized over the last couple
of years, no one outside the WCAL realizes
how difcult [playing in the WCAL] is,
Davenport said. All they know is our
record is not very good. All of our losses
are quality losses. We get something from
that. Alot of people outside the WCALdont
comprehend that.
Davenport knows this and tries to impart
that knowledge to his team, while also
impressing on them the competition the
Tigers play in the WCALmore than prepares
them for this time of year.
It was always my concern: Am I going to
be able to keep the girls motivated through
the WCAL grind? Davenport said. Weve
been successful enough to keep them moti-
vated to get to CCS.
Besides, its not like Notre Dame doesnt
deserve one of the top seeds if not the
top seed in their division play. Alook at
the Tigers history over the last several
years shows that despite perceived subpar
teams, the Tigers consistently nish among
the top in their division year in and year
out. They were knocked out in the quarter-
nals last season, their worst showing since
a quarternal loss in 2006. Between 2007
and 2012, however, the Tigers advanced to
the seminals six straight times, winning
the 2011 Division IV championship in the
process.
In their four of their other semifinal
appearances, they lost to a team from
you guessed it the WCAL.
The year we won CCS (in 2011), I think
we beat four section champions along the
way and we got the No. 2 seed. Ultimately
[the seedings] comes down to strength of
schedule. People should walk a mile in our
shoes. Its preparing us for CCS,
Davenport said. But I want to quiet all the
doubters. I want the kids to play to the best
of their abilities, and if they do that and we
win CCS, thats great.

Nevada Athletic Commission
bans testosterone replacement
LAS VEGAS Nevada state regulators are banning mixed mar-
tial arts ghters from using testosterone replacement therapy.
The Nevada Athletic Commission voted unanimously
Thursday in Las Vegas to quit granting therapeutic use exemp-
tions for ghters undergoing the possibly performance-enhanc-
ing treatment.
Chairman Francisco Aguilar tells The Associated Press that no
ghters are being grandfathered in to the new policy, and no new
applications will be accepted.
The move by the commission regulating mixed martial arts
and boxing in Nevada comes after the Association of Ringside
Physicians labeled so-called unmerited testosterone a health
risk to athletes and their opponents.
UFC President Dana White also supported a ban.

new buildings. The board will make its nal
decision next week.
A June election would allow for build-
ings to be ready in the 2016 year, said
Superintendent Jim Lianides. We really
need to have buildings in place when we
feel the growing pains of enrollment. The
key thing is each of our campuses today are
very close to capacity.
A facilities task force recommended a
$265 million bond that will generate an
approximate $16 per $100,000 tax rate
based on current interest bonds to allow for
two small schools of 300 to 400 students
and for adding six additional classrooms to
Menlo-Atherton High School. Godbe
Research completed a voter survey regard-
ing a potential bond measure to support the
districts four comprehensive high schools
and alternative high school programs. The
results showed strong support for a poten-
tial bond measure, reaching 68.4 percent
for a simulated June 2014 election and 70.3
percent in a simulated November election.
Support was generally consistent in the
school district regions that feed into the
high school district.
A demographic study indicates the dis-
trict is projected to grow starting in the
2014-15 school year, reaching more than
10,000 students by 2020-21. Projections
indicate that the district will reach 10,056
students by 2020-21. These projections are
based in part on partner elementary district
growth. Enrollment in the partner districts
started to grow in 2006-07 from 22,893
students and reached 24,653 students in
2012-13.
Some parents and community members
support the bond measure, but think there
needs to be more time for campaigning and
thus support a November measure.
The overarching thing is we want whats
best for our kids, said Jennifer Webb, for-
mer president of the San Carlos Education
Foundation and current member of the
Sequoia High School Education
Foundation. You need to show certain jobs
are lled to run the kind of campaign Im
accustomed to running.
Parent and former board candidate
Georgia Jack advocated for November as
well, noting that the process has been too
narrowly focused on facilities, not pro-
gramming.
I do not argue against the need for a
bond, she said. You should allow all the
communities between now and August to
have authentic discussions about what a
gold standard education looks like. Acom-
munication process that listens as much as
it talks will go a long way in building
trust.
Terry Thygesen, trustee at Menlo Park
City School District, thanked the board for
its work on supporting teaching and learn-
ing for the benet of all children. Focusing
on needs before politics is important too,
she said.
Youre building on the shoulders of
giants who laid the foundation, she said.
You have a very supportive community
you know this. I believe that this commu-
nity has been here for you before and will
be here for you again, you just have to artic-
ulate the facts.
Board members have mixed feelings
about whether to put a measure on the June
or November ballot. Trustee Alan Sarver
said June is quite doable, but November
brings its own challenge.
Its not an obvious case one way or
another, said board President Allen
Weiner. The most important thing for us
to do is support the effort to go out [for a
measure]. At the end of the day, I come
out in favor of June because classrooms can
be built sooner. Were going to win this
thing and its going to be great for our dis-
trict.
Board Vice President Olivia Martinez said
she hasnt heard a single person say they
werent in favor of the bond proposal.
Im concerned if it doesn't go in June, we
wont be prepared when students arrive at
our doorstep, she said. Theres no ques-
tion about the data; the bodies are in the
seats right now as we speak.
Meanwhile, Alice Henderson, Sequoia
High School Parent Teacher Association
president, supports June as well.
Theyve been saying this is the biggest
class in decades each year, she said. I
support June because, one Im an optimist.
... One reason that June is better is for cur-
rent high school students, their families
will be impacted and its much easier to
engage and mobilize families that are at the
high school. Seniors can vote in June,
not in November.
Former board member Don Gibson sup-
ports a June ballot measure as well.
I think we can get a very good, strong
(campaigning) group together, he said.
One issue with November is during the
summer its very hard to get people active.
For a June election, theres more energy
there.
Others think November might be best.
I recommended November, said Trustee
Carrie Du Bois. I want to do this very
respectfully for the community and taxpay-
ers and make sure there is a lot of communi-
cation. This is a lot of money.
There are some facilities updates already
underway. A two-story building with ve
classrooms is currently being built at
Carlmont High School, there will be two
science and three regular classrooms. Also,
a total of ve new classrooms are in nal
design for Menlo-Atherton High School.
These classrooms are planned to be opera-
tional for the 2015-16 school year.
Aspecial board meeting will be held 4:30
p.m. Wednesday, March 5 at the district
ofce, 480 James Ave. in Redwood City, to
vote on the ballot date. If it chooses a June
date, the board needs to also identify two
trustee representatives for the campaign
committee.

Thief delivers
unpolished gems
By Lou Kesten
Video games are filled with scenarios
where the only solution is to blast your
way out. Thats why I have a soft spot
for stealth games like Metal Gear
Solid, Tom Clancys Splinter
Cell and 2012s brilliant
Dishonored. Theres some-
thing more mentally stimulat-
ing about nding ways to
outwit your enemies with-
out lling them with lead.
In 1998, Eidos
Interactives Thief:
The Dark Project
introduced many
of the elements that ancestors like Dishonored
have built upon in particular, the idea that light
is your enemy and darkness your friend. The
Eidos Montreal studio is now trying to reclaim
that legacy with Thief (Square Enix, for the
PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox
360, PC, $59.99), a game whose bright spots are
sometimes overshadowed by thoughtless design
and technical shortcomings.
The protagonist, Garrett, is a jaded master thief
in a fog-drenched city (called the City) that
looks like Victorian London. In the prologue,
Garrett stumbles across an arcane ritual and gets
knocked unconscious.
Fast forward a year, and he cant remember a
thing. The City is being destroyed by starvation
and a disease known as the gloom, and the

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
ARTHUR SZYK AND THE ART OF
THE HAGGADAH, AT THE CONTEM-
PORARY JEWISH MUSEUM. I am
resolved to serve my people with all my
art, with all my talent, with all my knowl-
edge. With these words, spoken in 1934 as
Hitler was ascending to power, Polish-born
Jewish artist and political cartoonist Arthur
Szyk (18941951) set out to create the
most important work of his life, his illus-
trated Haggadah.
The haggadah (Hebrew for the telling)
is called the great book of freedom,
recounting the story of the exodus of the
ancient Hebrews from slavery in Egypt.
This text, used during the ritual Passover
meal, the seder, has been illustrated by
countless artists since the Middle Ages.
MOre than 5,000 versions have been print-
ed since the invention of the printing
press, making it the most published Jewish
book in history.
But Szyks Haggadah was unique. Keenly
aware of current events, Szyk drew striking
parallels between the Jews plight in Egypt
and the threat of a rising Nazi power.
Adopting the ancient techniques of
Medieval illuminated manuscripts, Szyk
created a powerful visual commentary on
the politics of his day.
Now, for the rst time in more than 60
years, all 48 original paintings from
Szyks masterpiece are on view in The
Contemporary Jewish Museums exhibi-
tion Arthur Szyk and the Art of the
Haggadah. The exhibition features Szyks
miniatures on paper as well as diverse
examples of important historical and con-
temporary haggadot.
Contemporary Jewish Museum Executive
Director Lori Starr said: The Szyk
Haggadah is a powerful and enduring testa-
ment to hope and courage. Reproductions
have been a mainstay in Jewish homes
since the 20th century, but they do not
compare with the remarkable, original
paintings. We are really thrilled to be able
to share these with the public for the rst
time in decades.
ABOUT THE ARTIST. Arthur Szyk
(pronounced Shick) was born into a well-
to-do Jewish family in Lodz in 1894, in the
part of Poland that was under Russian rule
in the 19th century. In 1898, at age four, he
started drawing portraits of guests in his
parents home. After studying painting in
Paris and visiting Palestine in 1914, he
was drafted into the czars army in World
War I but deserted. Later, he fought against
the Soviets under the legendary Polish
Marshall Josef Pilsudski. For most of the
1920s and 30s Szyk lived and worked in
France and Poland, moving to the United
Kingdom in 1937. In 1940, he settled per-
manently in the United States, where he
was granted American citizenship in 1948.
Szyk became a renowned graphic artist
and book illustrator as early as the interwar
periodhis works were exhibited and pub-
lished widely. However, he gained greater
popularity due to his war caricatures, in
which, after the outbreak of World War II,
he depicted the leaders of the Axis powers
(Germany, Italy and Japan) as grotesque
caricatures of greed and evil. A self-
described soldier in art, his ferocious
depictions of the Axis leaders soon graced
the covers of such popular periodicals as
Time, Colliers, The New York Times and
Chicago Sun.

Paid Advertisment
By Jake Coyle
NEW YORK Six years ago,
Matthew McConaughey was star-
ring in a movie called Surfer,
Dude, a lm about as good as its
title implies. He played a shirtless
surfer plunged into an existential
crises when his good luck with
waves runs out.
McConaughey did undergo an
existential crisis around that time,
but it wasnt about the surf. His
career had bottomed out in rom-
com mediocrity (his second come-
dy with Kate Hudson, Fools
Gold, followed Surfer, Dude),
overly depending on the charm of
his Texas drawl. McConaughey
resolved to do something about it.
What has followed the so-
called McConaissance has been
one of the most remarkable mid-
career metamorphoses in movies.
McConaughey has abruptly shift-
ed to more challenging roles and
lms in a creative burst that has
clearly re-energized him. Hes
taken his matinee idol chips and
exchanged them for an actors
freedom.
Its been a steady renewal, build-
ing part by part. His best-actor
Academy Award nomination for
Dallas Buyers Club represents a
culmination, and most expect
McConaughey will be crowned
with a win at the Oscars on March
2.
Here is a lm-by-lm account of
how he got here, a step-by-step
guide to the McConaissance:
THE LINCOLN LAWYER
This 2011 lm came after a two-
year gap in McConaugheys l-
mography. Whereas
McConaughey was made famous
by 1996s A Time to Kill play-
ing an altruistic lawyer defending
a black man in the South, in the
Lincoln Lawyer, he plays a
money-hungry, unscrupulous Los
Angeles attorney with
NTGUILTY emblazed on his
license plate. Its a slight but
important course alteration toward
darker material.
BERNIE McConaugheys
career was essentially started by
Austin, Texas, lmmaker Richard
Linklater with Dazed and
Confused. The role of David
Wooderson has remained for
McConaughey not just one role
among many, but a guiding ethos.
He frequently quotes his You just
gotta keep livin man, L-I-V-I-N
and dubbed his production compa-
ny J.K. Livin. So it makes sense
that any restart for McConaughey
would include Linklater, whose
Bernie features McConaughey
as district attorney Danny Buck in
a comic tale of small-town murder.
MAGIC MIKE This was the
brashest announcement of
McConaugheys new boldness. In
Steven Soderberghs male stripper
lm, he goes to depths of sleaze
most actors would shy away from.
For an actor known for his quick-
ness to de-shirt, his gyrating,
blustering cowboy-themed strip-
per was a self-parodying wink: a
rodeo clown in skivvies.
KILLER JOE McConaughey
is again on his home turf (Texas)
in William Friedkins adaptation
of Tracy Letts twistedly comic
crime tale. As a police detective
with a side business of murder-for-
hire, his chilling title character
steals the lm. Its the third in a
trio of stellar 2012 supporting
roles in which McConaughey trad-
ed the leading-man spotlight for
more dynamic ensembles.
THE PAPERBOY Most
everyone in Lee Daniels garish,
sweaty Florida noir was swamped
by the thick Southern Gothic
melodrama. How could anyone
even remember McConaughey was
in The Paperboy after the infa-
mous jellysh sting scene with
Nicole Kidman and Zach Efron?
But the lm still counts as the
kind of risk McConaughey was
starting to make routine.
MUD In many years,
McConaugheys supporting role
as the title character in Jeff
Nichols Mississippi River com-
ing-of-age lm would have gotten
him Oscar consideration in its
own right. In Mud, he plays a
love-sick fugitive prone to (like
McConaughey, himself) wide-
eyed reverie. McConaughey has
the larger-than-life quality needed
to make Mud seem mythic to the
young boys who nd him hiding
out on an island.
DALLAS BUYERS CLUB
McConaugheys transformation
becomes literal in the story of
HIV-infected Ron Woodroof.
Losing some 45 pounds, its as
though McConaughey physically
sheds his former self. But, of
course, Woodroof is a classic
McConaughey character: a swag-
gering, swashbuckling Texan. But
Woodroofs desperation his
white-knuckled fear and ferocious

Same great food,

By Jessica Herndon
BEVERLY HILLS Leonardo
DiCaprio is poking his head out of a
poolside room at the Beverly Hilton
Hotel.
Its afternoon, and a swarm of media
outlets is lined up outside, chatting
with Oscar contenders after the
Academy Awards annual luncheon for
nominees. Nominated for lead actor for
his role as an excess-obsessed stock-
broker in The Wolf of Wall Street,
DiCaprio stands to gain plenty of
attention if hes viewed, but he goes
unseen.
Still, he cant conceal his curiosity.
Whats going on out there? he asks
with childlike intrigue, lowering his
brow. Why are there only two people
on pool floats? Turns out, theyre
models hired to liven up the back-
ground of an entertainment shows
feed.
Thats corny, DiCaprio says with a
laugh. But surely the 39-year-old actor
understands the allure of overdoing it.
Decadence is what fueled Wolf, a
lm thats gained him two Oscar nom-
inations for acting and producing.
DiCaprio has been nominated for three
other Academy Awards, starting with a
supporting actor bid for playing a teen
with autism in the 1993 drama,
Whats Eating Gilbert Grape. Hes
been overlooked each time.
This could be his year. Is he frustrat-
ed he hasnt won?
Here, Ill show you the card they
gave me today (at the luncheon), he
says, rummaging through his pockets
after setting aside the electronic ciga-
rette he says he puffs to relieve the
stress of life. He retrieves a small
white card he calls that little football
chalk-up listing his film stats.
Leaning in, he points to the portion
that reads: five nominations, zero
wins. With a heavy chuckle he looks
up and says, Zip!
With the card back in his pocket,
DiCaprio adds: Its quite interesting.
People think I feel Im overdue for
something ... He stares at the ground
for a moment, collecting his thoughts.
Anyone wants to be accepted by their
peers, but the truth is every year is
unique and everyone is just going to
vote for who they think is worthy.
Nominated for lead actor Oscars for
The Aviator and Blood Diamond,
DiCaprio has lost to Jamie Foxx and
Forest Whitaker (he lost the best sup-
porting actor statuette to Tommy Lee
Jones). This year, hes up against
Christian Bale, Chiwetel Ejiofor,
Bruce Dern and Matthew
McConaughey, who is considered
DiCaprios biggest threat for his por-
trayal of a rodeo-loving Texan with
HIV in Dallas Buyers Club.
We havent seen Leo and
McConaughey paired off in any award
show, says Tom ONeil, editor of the
awards prediction site goldderby.com.
The assumption is Leo cant do it.
But this wouldnt be because he lacks
skill. DiCaprio, whose rst big lm
role was opposite Robert De Niro in
1993s This Boys Life, has starred
in a number of lms that gained Oscar
attention, including two best picture
winners: Titanic and The Departed.
Gangs of New York, Catch Me if
You Can, Revolutionary Road,
Inception, Django Unchained and
last years The Great Gatsby have
also earned Academy attention.
Its as if the old men in the Academy
look at someone like Leo and say, You
have the money, the fame, the babes,
but heres one thing you cant have,
adds ONeil. Weve seen a history of
it. Paul Newman didnt win until he was
past the age of 60. Often, if you are old
or if you let yourself go to hell like
Matthew McConaughey did in Dallas
Buyers Club by losing a lot of weight,
the Academy awards you.
Many major Hollywood talents have
endured Oscar snubs. Neither Alfred
Could Wolf mark end of DiCaprios Oscar drought?
Decadence is what fueled The Wolf of Wall Street,a lm thats
gained Leonardo DiCaprio two Oscar nominations for acting
and producing.
The thing about it is no
matter what lm hes in, even if
you didnt like the movie, you leave the
theater and go,That guy just never misses.

Oscars bittersweet for
some documentary nominees
BEVERLYHILLS While the Academy Awards are a cel-
ebration for most nominees, theyre a reminder for some
filmmakers of those theyve recently lost.
During a Wednesday-night event honoring this years
documentary nominees, The Lady in Number 6: Music
Saved My Life filmmakers reminisced about Alice Herz-
Sommer, the optimistic 110-year-old musician and
Holocaust survivor who served as the star of their Oscar-
nominated short documentary.
Herz-Sommer, a piano player who was believed to be the
oldest-known survivor of the Holocaust, died Sunday at a
London hospital.
We thought she was going to go on forever, said direc-
tor Malcolm Clarke, who told the crowd at the motion pic-

Oscars expect sun, but ready for rain on show day
LOS ANGELES Like the annual Tournament of Roses
parade, the Oscars are usually blessed with standard
Southern California weather: sunshine and blue skies.
That could be the case again this year, but not until the
first major storm to hit Los Angeles this winter gives the
area a major dousing.
The National Weather Service predicts heavy rain
Thursday night and Friday, with showers Saturday that
could continue through Oscar Sunday.
Were prepared to welcome our guests regardless of the
weather, said Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences spokeswoman Teni Melidonian, adding that she
expects clear skies for the big show.
Hollywood Boulevard is already blanketed with red car-
pet, which is protected with plastic wrap. The whole
arrivals area the carpet, fan bleachers, interview stages
and photographers risers is topped with a clear plastic
tent that stretches from the intersection of Hollywood and
Highland boulevards to the front of the Dolby Theatre.
Thats standard practice, said Joe Lewis, associate pro-
ducer of the red carpet pre-show.
Were as prepared as we can be, he said.
Angelina Jolie wows Oscar rehearsal actors
LOS ANGELES To the world, shes a humanitarian,
superstar actress and half of Hollywoods most glamorous
couple.
But to the workers who met Angelina Jolie Thursday at
Oscar rehearsals, she was just Angie.
The 38-year-old Oscar winner, who was honored with the
film academys Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award last
year, came to the Dolby Theatre to run through the lines
shell say in front of millions on Sunday. Afterward, she
hung around chatting to show producers and introduced
herself as Angie to a group of college students serving
as trophy carriers this year.
Youll help make the night a fun night, she said warm-
ly to the star-struck students. One told her, You were great
out there.
I didnt fall! Jolie replied with a smile, confessing that
the silver peep-toe pumps she paired with capri pants and
a sweater for the rehearsal are her actual show-day shoes.
After youve done this a few times, you learn to wear the
shoes youre going to present in, she said.
Oscar briefs
By Jonathan Landrum Jr.
Forest Whitaker isnt much bothered
by being one of the seasons biggest
Oscar snubs.
Although hes won an Academy
Award and a Golden Globe, its always
been about the craft for the veteran
actor. So repeated comments that he
deserved a nomination for his leading
role in Lee Daniels The Butler and
for Fruitvale Station, which he co-
produced, just roll right off.
Ive been doing this for years and
my goal is purely to expand the human
experience, to expand myself and con-
nection with other people, he said in
a recent phone interview to promote
his new lm Repentance. Thats
my real goal. Its always nice when
people celebrate me or my work. But
thats not my real marker. Its seems to
be more of a marker for others.
Sure, Whitaker was disappointed
that Fruitvale Station wasnt among
the nine Oscar nominees for best-pic-
ture. But he ultimately felt the lm did-
nt need a nomination or an award to
validate its success. It was beautifully
done, he says.
It was some great performances,
and I think people did acknowledge my
work, he said. As far as nomina-
tions, you really just cant allow your-
self to get caught up. You just have to
see how it ows.
The Butler, Fruitvale Station,
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and
nine-time nominee 12 Years a Slave
were among last years bumper crop of
acclaimed films about black racial
struggles.
While gratified with Hollywoods
attention to these issues, Whitaker is
hopeful black actors will also be cast
in more natural, colorblind roles in
lms that go beyond a racial theme or
ethnic marketing strategy.
In my career, probably maybe 80
percent of the time, Ive been playing
characters that had no ethnicity or dif-
ferent culture, Whitaker said. So Ive
been lucky.
But theres no question Whitakers
characters have been diverse from
his assassin in 2000s Ghost Dog:
The Way of the Samurai to his Oscar-
winning portrayal of Ugandan dictator
No Oscar nod, no problem:

vile Baron Northcrest has its residents liv-
ing in terror. Garretts ability to sneak into
the Barons heavily guarded fortresses may
be the only thing that can stop the City
from descending into anarchy.
Garrett begins with a few essential tools:
a blackjack for knocking out nosy guards, a
claw for climbing walls, a bow and a quiver
of arrows. Water and re arrows let Garrett
douse and relight torches, while rope
arrows, which can be shot into hanging
beams, help him climb onto rooftops. As
soon as you raise the cash you should buy a
wrench, a razor and wire cutters, which
Garrett uses to steal plaques and paintings
and disarm traps.
The event in the prologue has also gifted
Garrett with focus powers, which, when
activated, increase his dexterity, speed and
perception. Focus is most useful when
youre searching for loot, highlighting all
the treasures and traps in a given room.
The major story missions are well con-
structed, and often so suspenseful I found
myself holding my breath. They offer a
variety of approaches: You can be a
ghost, completely avoiding detection; an
opportunist, collecting the most loot; or
a predator, killing anyone who stands in
your way. Two clients, an inventor and a cir-
cus master, also provide some intriguing
side missions.
And then theres your fence, Basso, who
has a list of a few dozen artifacts he wants
you to hunt down. Some of those are easy
enough to nd you just need to climb
through the right window while others
require some tricky navigation of the Citys
rooftops and alleys.
The main obstacle to your crime spree is
the Barons Watch, an army of surly thugs
who patrol the streets. They arent particu-
larly bright, animated by shaky articial
intelligence, but they are everywhere and
they will kill you if they see you.
The initial challenge of avoiding the
guards gets tiresome by the fth or sixth
time you need to cross the City to start your
next mission. And neighborhoods are divid-
ed by loading screens that kill any sense of
immersion an irritation thats inexcus-
able these days, particularly if youre play-
ing on a high-powered PlayStation 4 or
Xbox One.
Finally, the overarching story in Thief
is incoherent. Midway through I gave up
trying to make any sense of it and settled in
to just enjoy the clever individual missions.
Fans of stealth games, who get so few of
them, will probably be able to overlook the
aws in Thief, while wishing Eidos had
polished it more carefully. Three stars out of
four.
THIEF
will to survive is the more striking meta-
morphosis for the once golden, ever-grin-
ning McConaughey.
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET Hes
still gaunt in Martin Scorseses romp, look-
ing roomy in his pinstripe suit. In a memo-
rable cameo, he schools Leonardo
DiCaprios Jordan Belfort on the ways of
nance: Its a fugazi fairy dust he says.
In a speech that sets the beat for the entire
lm, McConaughey thumps his chest and
hums in a bizarre meditation ritual that actu-
ally comes from the actors own pre-scene
preparation. (DiCaprio urged him to use it
for the lm.)
TRUE DETECTIVE More than
Dallas Buyers Club, the currently-airing
HBO series represents the very height of
McConaugheys abilities. McConaughey
plays the police detective Rust Cohle in two
very different versions, separated by numer-
ous years. The older, long-haired, hard-
drinking version is more typical
McConaughey. But the younger Cohle is
something different entirely: intellectual,
poised and laconic. Its like the weight loss
of Dallas Buyers Club has had an after-
glow effect, reshaping his manner and phys-
icality. Its fitting, perhaps, that
McConaugheys best performance should be
alongside Woody Harrelson, his Surfer,
Dude co-star.
AND BEYOND? Due out in November,
McConaughey stars in Christopher Nolans
time-travelling sci- lm Interstellar, one
of the most anticipated movies of the year.
The McConaissance continues.
FILMS
Hitchcock nor Stanley Kubrick ever
received directing trophies. At the risk of
gaining comparisons to the late actor Peter
OToole, who was nominated eight times
without a win, DiCaprio could go home
empty-handed again.
The thing about it is no matter what lm
hes in, even if you didnt like the movie,
you leave the theater and go, That guy just
never misses, says DiCaprios Wolf co-
star Jonah Hill, who is nominated for a best
supporting actor Oscar. Watching Leo
work on Wolf, I understand how brilliant
he is at what he does. He didnt miss a single
moment of that character.
Hes been particularly dedicated to the
Oscar campaign for Wolf DiCaprio
even appeared on Saturday Night Live
with Hill. Wolf marks the actors fth col-
laboration with Martin Scorsese. Its a
project he takes extreme pride in, largely
because he was part of its development.
The fact that I brought it to Scorsese and
put the nancing together ... all of these
elements add a whole other level of respon-
sibility, he says. That includes defending
the racy material in the lm, which has
gained a bad rep for glorifying greed.
Ive never been a part of a lm that had
this sincere level of controversy around it,
DiCaprio says. But I want to have lms out
there that cater to an audience that I think is
yearning for something that is a little more
outlandish.
His hunch proved spot-on. Wolf, cost-
ing $100 million to make, has earned over
$230 million worldwide. You make these
movies, you work as hard as you possibly
can, you put your life on hold and you hope
for the best, adds the actor.
Ive had the same mentality ever since I
got my rst movie, he says. I got my foot
in this door and I am going to continue to
jam it in there and grind.
LEO
Idi Amin in 2006s The Last King of
Scotland.
Whitaker took on a new challenge in
Repentance, a psychological thriller in
theaters Friday. He plays bipolar Angel
Sanchez, who seeks private treatment from
a spiritual adviser, then takes him hostage.
Its also one of Whitakers darkest roles
a new territory, as he calls it. To pre-
pare, Whitaker talked with mental patients
and researched books and articles on the
topic.
According to cast mates, Whitaker made it
seem easy.
He was very focused and specic, said
Nicole Ari Parker, who plays Whitakers
wife. It was almost easy to be in a scene
with him because he was so powerful. ... It
was wonderful.
So is this a colorblind lm? Not exactly.
The story is based on Philippe Calands
2012 lm The Guru and the Gypsy, which
featured a cast of mostly white characters.
But Whitaker wanted to remake the movie
with an all-black cast. In addition to
Whitaker and Parker, it stars Anthony
Mackie, Sanaa Lathan and Mike Epps.
I thought it was a brilliant idea, said
Caland, who directed Whitaker in the 2007
lm Ripple Effect. It allowed my lm to
be its own project that became bigger. He
helped reinvent my movie rather than
remake it.
Caland notes the film not only gave
Whitaker an opportunity to portray a char-
acter outside his norm, but also allowed co-
stars to stretch a bit, too, such as Epps, who
is best known as a comedian.
The director said Epps showed he could
play a serious role. He wasnt the obvious
choice, but delivered in an amazing way,
said Caland. It was a surprise to every-
body.

Powers Board in the fall, according to
Caltrain ofcials.
The approval of the EIR is an impor-
tant step for it to become 75 percent
electried by 2020 and fully by 2040,
according to Caltrain ofcials.
In the worst-case scenario, support-
ing the electrification infrastructure
could require Caltrain to purchase or
arrange easements for 1.5 acres for
substations in South San Francisco
and San Jose, up to 18 acres through-
out constrained areas along the 51
miles of electried tracks from San
Jose to San Francisco and the removal
of up to 2,200 trees and pruning of
another 3,600, according to Caltrain
ofcials.
The regional rail anticipates its cur-
rent 1.3 million monthly ridership
will double in 30 years and keeping up
with the demand will require a $1.5 bil-
lion revamp, according to Caltrain
ofcials.
The Caltrain Modernization Project
will help it save money on fuel, allow
six more trains on the track per hour
for faster service and have substantial
environmental benets, said Caltrain
communications manager Jayme
Ackemann.
First, because its directly tied to
the long-term sustainability of
Caltrain, were nearing maximum
capacity in our peak commute hours,
Ackemann said. Its also an impor-
tant regional benet because it pro-
vides some substantial greenhouse gas
reductions and its going to pave the
way for high-speed rail to operate on
this corridor once they have completed
their EIR process.
Caltrains project became inter-
twined with the development of high-
speed rail when the two agreed to a
blended track system; however, this
draft EIR solely refers to Caltrains
electrication and does not approve
any regional development of high-
speed rail, Caltrain ofcials said.
The Caltrain electrication includes
Communication Based Overlay Signal
System and Positive Train Control, a
federally required GPS-based safety
technology capable of preventing
train-to-train collisions; pole-sup-
ported electric wires and new trains.
The installation of Positive Train
Control is already underway and,
although only 35 percent of the entire
project design is complete, this draft
EIR encompasses worst-case scenarios
allowing it to move forward once a
nal design is chosen, according to
Caltrain ofcials.
Well be more project ready if we
have to come up with plan b, said
Marian Lee, executive officer for
Caltrains Modernization Project.
Right-of-way
Caltrain will work with property
owners along the corridor whose
homes, trees or backyards may be
encroached upon by an up to 10-foot
buffer zone from the electrical wires
and poles, according to the draft EIR.
There are at least two designs to sup-
port the electrical wires with both
requiring 23-foot poles in 200-foot
intervals, Lee said.
One is for a single pole centered
between the tracks and the other, con-
sidered the worst-case scenario, is for
two poles on the outsides of the tracks.
Based on the worst-case scenario,
Caltrain would need 10 acres of private
residential, commercial or industrial
property, eight acres of public roads
and .3 acres of parklands, according to
the draft. The total acreage of its
encroachment is only in conned sec-
tions that are spread throughout the 51
miles of track, Lee said.
Trees
In some cases, all it could require
is an easement on private property
and the owner agreeing to leave up
to 10 feet of their property vacant.
There are 19,000 trees in the
Caltrain right-of-way and it may
need to remove or prune up to 5,800
of them, according to the draft.
When we get to trees, its going to
be a hard discussion to have with
folks, Lee said.
Caltrain would pay to remove, relo-
cate or prune the trees and, depending
on negotiations with individual cities,
may develop a tree fund, Lee said.
Based on the draft EIRs worst-case
scenario model, up to 420 trees in San
Mateo will be either pruned or
removed, 239 in Burlingame, 231 in
San Carlos, 201 in Redwood City and
629 in Menlo Park.
Caltrain will work with property
owners to mitigate possible impacts,
Lee said.
The path of least resistance is the
path we will choose, Lee said.
Owners of properties that border the
tracks and may be affected can expect
to receive letters in the mail in the
coming days, Ackemann said.
Environmental impact, funding
Going electric is expected to
improve the regional air quality by up
to 84 percent by 2020, take more than
600,000 daily vehicle miles off the
regions roads by 2040 and reduce up
to 177,000 metric tons of green house
gas emissions by 2040.
Half of the funding of Caltrains
$1.5 billion electrication price tag
was anticipated to come from the
High-Speed Rail Authority, which
would benet from the electrication
of the tracks. However, with the High-
Speed Rail Authoritys legal battles
and a July 1 deadline to earn state
money before losing federal grants,
Caltrain cannot currently claim any
dedicated funds for future construction.
Put simply, if high-speed rail does not
move forward, Caltrain will have to
look for another source of funding for
half of this electrication project.
But Caltrain is working with a 150-
year-old house and although it has
given many of the trains a mid-life
upgrade, its now in a position where it
needs to start preparing for upgrades,
Caltrain ofcials said.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2014
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Be sensitive, open and
honest in your dealings with loved ones. If they feel you
are holding back, it may cause irreparable damage to
your most intimate relationships.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Dont try so hard. It
isnt necessary to go to extreme lengths to gain the
approval of your colleagues. Your kindness, generosity
and compassion will create a favorable impression.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Recreation and
entertainment are the order of the day. Romance,
travel, or interesting pastimes will generate excitement.
Put mundane activities on hold for the time being.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) There are many places
where your talents can be put to good use. Make
others aware of your capabilities by condently
presenting what you have to offer.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Even if you are
happy with life, new and rewarding experiences
are worth checking out. Take advantage of
opportunities that promise to broaden your
horizons and indulge your curiosity.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take steps to cultivate
beneficial partnerships, deal with unsatisfying
financial matters and initiate new strategies for
moving forward. You need a concrete agenda and
decisive action to get what you want.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Use a condent and
direct approach in all your affairs today. Be assertive
when asking for what you want. Sitting back quietly
and hoping for results will accomplish nothing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Its a good day to
reassess your love life and family relationships.
If you are not satisfied, now is the time to make a
positive change. Consider the needs of others as
well as your own.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Youll become
irritated and upset over minor issues. Rather than
allowing yourself to become distraught over small
details, bite your tongue and save your energies for
more important matters.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Put your worries
on the back burner. Disagreements, work and
problems with meddlers will lead to bitterness. Get
outside to remind yourself of the beauty of nature.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have good ideas
and should plan to move forward. The encouragement
you receive will help you reach your destination. Strive
for success and share your victory with loved ones.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You may have been
neglecting your self-improvement goals. Engage in
some pleasurable physical activity, and you will be
rewarded with better health, renewed energy and a
sense of fulllment.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
DAVID MICHAEL CICERO, SR.
Case Number: 124217
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: DAVID MICHAEL CICE-
RO, SR. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by David M. Cicero, Jr. in the Supe-
rior Court of California, County of San
Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests
that David M. Cicero, Jr. be appointed
as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: March 28, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine Masked
gunmen stormed parliament in
Ukraines strategic Crimea region
Thursday as Russian ghter jets scram-
bled to patrol borders, the stirrings of
a potentially dangerous confrontation
reminiscent of Cold War brinksman-
ship.
While a newly formed government
led by a pro-Western technocrat in
Kiev pledged to prevent any national
breakup, there were mixed signals in
Moscow: Russia granted shelter to
Ukraines fugitive president, Viktor
Yanukovych, while pledging to
respect Ukraines territorial integri-
t y.
Yanukovych was said to be holed up
in a luxury government retreat and to
have scheduled a news conference
Friday near the Ukrainian border.
As gunmen wearing unmarked
camouflage uniforms erected a sign
reading Crimea is Russia in the
provincial capital, Ukraines inter-
im prime minister declared the
Black Sea territory has been and
will be a part of Ukraine.
The escalating conflict sent
Ukraines finances plummeting fur-
ther, prompting Western leaders to
prepare an emergency nancial pack-
age.
Yanukovych, whose abandonment
of closer ties to Europe in favor of a
bailout loan from Russia set off three
months of protests, nally ed by hel-
icopter last week as his allies deserted
him. The humiliating exit was a severe
blow to Russian President Vladimir
Putin, who had been celebrating his
signature Olympics even as Ukraines
drama came to a head. The Russian
leader has long dreamed of pulling
Ukraine a country of 46 million
people considered the cradle of
Russian civilization closer into
Moscows orbit.
For Ukraines neighbors, the specter
of Ukraine breaking up evoked memo-
ries of centuries of bloody conict.

sentenced to nine months in jail plus sex offender treatment
but not registration. He was originally charged with multi-
ple counts of child molestation but settled the case by plead-
ing no contest to two counts of felony false imprisonment
and one misdemeanor count of child annoyance
In that case, Edwards reportedly cupped the breast and but-
tocks of a female student. Edwards joined the school in
September 1987 and retired in February 2011 after his
arrest. At the time, authorities referenced Pedros 2001 case
as a previous allegation but said it was not prosecuted for
lack of corroboration.
The suit claims that the district knew that Edwards, while
employed by it, committed at least eight separate incidents
of sexual misconduct involving at least six students.
In addition to Campbell, who was Ralston principal from
1990 to 1997 and district superintendent from 1997 to
2003, the suit also names former district director of busi-
ness services Jeffrey Keuscher, former assistant principal
Daniel Lyttle, former vice principal Lawrence Glendenning
and former principal Jayne Ann Chelberg.
According to Pedros suit, on May 29, 2001, when she
was 12 and working on a book report in Edwards ofce, he
asked her a series of inappropriate and graphic questions
and stuck his ngers inside her underwear. The act left her
traumatized and placed her on a path that led her good aca-
demics to crumble and into an abusive relationship with a
much older man and pregnancy at age 13, according to the
suit.
Edwards was popular on campus and began grooming
Pedro by friendliness and seeking her help with tasks like
paperwork and lunch service, according to the suit. On the
day in question, he locked his ofce door and touched her
before she could ee. Pedro claims she told Chelberg, who
was skeptical and that school and district ofcials only con-
tacted the Belmont Police Department after learning her
mother was determined to report the incident. Edwards told
police Pedro had asked him to buy alcohol and cigarettes for
her. Pedro said the police were also skeptical and she
returned to a hostile environment at school while charges
were never led.
In May 2013, Pedro learned from his probation report in
the newest case about his alleged conduct prior to her inci-
dent and that the district failed to take action, according to
the suit.
Edwards alleged history listed in the suit includes a 1991
investigation for inappropriate sexual misconduct with a
female Ralston student; his ring in 1992 from an assistant
janitor position at the Peninsula Jewish Community Center
for peeping under a curtain at a group of teenage girls
undressing in the locker room; groping and kissing a stu-
dent he coached on the Ralston girls basketball team in
1993 under the guise of discussing her grades and sexually
harassing multiple female students between 1992 and 1996.
The district launched an investigation led by Campbell,
Keuscher and a teacher of Edwards in response to the detailed
harassment claims and found them unsubstantiated.
However, the nal report included a recommendation to
devise a safety plan that includes establishing procedures
... for Edwards supervision of school service aids, his con-
tact with students and the use of his ofce space, the suit
states.
In early 2001, the suit claims Edwards asked a fellow cus-
todian to remove a pornographic magazine from his desk
when the district renovated his ofce. The magazine was
reportedly delivered to Keuscher and Campbell and the same
day a maintenance supervisors also found a used condom
beneath Edwards desk.
That May, Pedro made her claim against Edwards which
the suit argues was the fth or sixth time in a decade the dis-
trict had learned of his sexual misconduct. In March 2005, a
coworker reportedly found Edwards in the gym early in the
morning with a female student and in November 2010
Edwards was accused of the groping that eventually led to
his arrest and conviction.
Pedro told the Daily Journal in a prepared statement she is
suing to give other victims courage to speak out and break a
culture of denial in schools and districts.
This culture, in which teachers and administrators look
the other way or fail to follow proper procedures, only
enables abusers. I hope this lawsuit will encourage school
districts everywhere to do everything in their power to keep
children safe, Pedro said.
Michael Milliken, Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary
School District superintendent, said the district needs to
review the lawsuit before publicly discussing it. Campbell
did not return inquiries for comment.
Pedros attorneys said the district made a willful deci-
sion to protect a sexual predator who was on their payroll
for almost 25 years rather than its young student.
The district needs to take responsibility for its failure to
protect Roxanne from her abuser and compensate her for the
horric abuse she underwent, said attorney Ryan Erickson,
of Lewis & Llewellyn, the law rm representing Pedro.
In July 2013, Pedro led a claim against the district which
was denied. In September, the district Board of Trustees dis-
cussed setting a higher standard for state-required training
on mandated reporting for child abuse and neglect.
