South City school chief resigns


Superintendent will leave South San Francisco Unified School District after four years
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Alejandro Hogan, superintendent


of the South San Francisco Unified
School District, announced his
intention to resign at the end of the
spring semester.
He gave his notice during the district Board of Trustees meeting
Thursday, March 26, to the chagrin
of some members of the school
community who pleaded for him to
stay.

Hogan, who was hired in 2011,


cited renovation of school facilities, implementation of Common
Core curriculum and improving the
districts finances as some of his
greatest successes.
I believe I leave the district in
better shape than when I arrived,
he said.
But Hogans tenure recently has
been plagued by storm of staff
turnover, at times associated with
allegations of wrongdoing.
El Camino High School is cur-

rently guided
by a trio of
assistant principals, as well
as an administrator from the
district office,
after

interim principal

Hogan
stepped down
amidst an investigation into
alleged fiscal malfeasance.

San Mateo County District


Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said the
South San Francisco Police
Department has submitted a misdeameanor investigation into
McDaniel, and his department is
still deciding whether to press
charges.
McDaniel replaced principal
David Putney, who was put on
administrative leave following a
controversy surrounding allegations of racial bullying of a student
at the high school.

An impartial investigator later


cleared Putney of any wrongdoing,
and he is still employed by the district, but will not be reinstated as
head of the high school.
Hogan was allegedly dismissive
of the students complaints regarding racial bullying, which prompted Trustee Maurice Goodman, then
board president, to encourage the
district to have a discussion on bullying and appropriate language.

Former San Mateo business leader sentenced for embezzlement


Jessica Evans pays restitution to DSMA, felony charge reduced to misdemeanor
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A former executive director who admitted to


embezzling from a San Mateo business group,
paid restitution Friday and had her felony
charge reduced to a misdemeanor.
Jessica Evans, the former leader of the
Downtown San Mateo Association, pleaded no
contest in February to a felony embezzlement
charge and was ordered to pay back the money
she stole for personal expenses.
Evans, a 41-year-old Burlingame resident,
was told by a San Mateo County Superior
Court judge if she paid $4,067.54 in restitu-

tion her felony charge


would be reduced to a misdemeanor, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Evans was also sentenced Friday to 30 days in
jail, for which she has two
days credit and must surrender May 16. However,
Jessica Evans Evans may be eligible for
the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Office workforce program and could
avoid time in jail by volunteering for community service, Wagstaffe said.

Evans, who was formerly credited with revitalizing the downtown business group, arouse
suspicion of the associations executive committee in June 2014 when she was up for a
salary review. The salary survey she submitted
appeared fraudulent and prompted a closer look
into her finances, according to prosecutors.
They discovered she used the associations
checking account and credit cards for personal
gain, including a night at a Sausalito resort,
paying her personal cellphone bill, writing
checks to herself without clear business purposes, and using petty cash to pay her babysitter. She also bought clothing at Target, cos-

metics, groceries and gasoline, according to


prosecutors.
The investigation revealed she had financial
difficulties including a maxed-out personal
credit card, according to prosecutors.
Evans defense attorney Ricardo Ippolito
said his client is relieved to have resolved the
case.
She paid full restitution. Shes glad to put
this behind her and move on with her life,
Ippolito said. She was very remorseful for the
actions she had taken and hopes that her paying the restitution back in full will make
amends for any of her wrongdoing.

MLK Day protestors who shut down
San Mateo Bridge plead not guilty
The last 58 defendants who were arrested after
shutting down the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge
as part of the Black Lives Matter movement on
Martin Luther King Day pleaded not guilty to
misdemeanor charges in a San Mateo County
court Thursday, according to prosecutors.
A total of 68 defendants were cited for
obstructing the road and creating a public nui-

sance after allegedly failing to leave the scene


when ordered to do so by California Highway
Patrol Officers during afternoon rush hour on
Jan. 18.
CHP officials said after the arrests that there
were four confirmed collisions involving property damage or minor injuries during the
protest, which shut down all lanes on the bridge
for at least 25 minutes.
The protesters, who were affiliated with a
group called Silicon Shutdown, said they were
demonstrating to honor the legacy of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

They planned to hold the bridge for 28 minutes, which is symbolic of the frequently cited
statistic that a black person is killed every 28
hours by a police officer, private security guard
or vigilante.
The first 10 defendants were arraigned in
February. Several of them have retained private
attorneys, but most defendants are being represented by San Mateo Countys Private Defender
Program, according to prosecutors.
The protesters next court appearance will be
for pre-trial conferences in April. Their cases are
expected to go to jury trial in May, according to
prosecutors.
Silicon Shutdown and the Public Defenders
Program could not be immediately reached for
comment.

Gov. Brown signs $1 billion water plan


By Fenit Nirappil
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown


signed legislation Friday that speeds up $1
billion in water infrastructure spending
amid the worst drought in a generation,
although much of the plan was drawn with
future dry years in mind.
This funding is just one piece of a much
larger effort to help those most impacted by
the drought and prepare the state for an
uncertain future, Brown, a Democrat, said
in a statement. But he added that no area of
the state has rain in the forecast and every
Californian must be doing their utmost to

conserve water.
The bills he signed,
AB91 and AB92, will
offer some aid to residents hurt by the
drought, but the vast
majority is expedited
spending on water infrastructure. The projects
Jerry Brown will take months or even
years to make a difference in Californias vast water delivery system, which is struggling under a fourth year
of little snow and rain in the nations most
populous state.
Nearly two-thirds, or $660 million, of the
water package goes to shore up flood pro-

tection structures to prevent mudslides and


sudden storms from overtaking communities. Voters first approved this spending in
2006 after Hurricane Katrina.
Another $267 million from a water measure approved at the ballot last year would
help boost local water supplies. It would
fund grants for water recycling programs
and help small and poor cities provide
drinking water by funding new wells and
wastewater treatment facilities.
Lawmakers said they need to kick start
water projects early, especially as fear
mounts that California is in the middle of a
long-term megadrought.
Part of it is about preparing for tomorrow and the continuing drought if it gets

worse, Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, DSan Diego, said after the vote Thursday. I
hope this is not the new normal, but we
need to act as if it is.
Republican lawmakers, who mostly supported the $1 billion plan, say the best way
to deal with Californias long-term water
woes is by speeding up construction of
reservoirs. Voters last year approved $2.7
billion for water storage as part of a sweeping bond measure, but the state wont start
funding projects until 2017.
We have to work together to expedite
projects that will increase long term supply, said Assembly Minority Leader
Kristin Olsen, a Modesto-area Republican.

Chances of being locked up vary across state


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO The number of inmates


in Californias county jails has fallen signicantly since peaking in 2007, but new
statistics show a wide disparity still exists
among locales, with liberal enclaves like
Marin and San Francisco far less likely to
lock up criminals than conservative places
like Kings, Lassen and Tuolumne counties.
The different incarceration rates outlined
in the data reect policies established by
Gov. Jerry Brown and others to let
Californias 58 counties tailor their criminal justice systems to local conditions and
law enforcement philosophies setting up
58 different approaches.

That makes sense as counties deal with


different conditions as well as differing
philosophies in their approaches to law
enforcement, said Magnus Lofstrom, who
studies the issue for the nonpartisan Public
Policy Institute of California.
If you have a county with a substantial
gang and drug problem ... it would be perfectly reasonable to see higher incarceration rates, Lofstrom said. On the other
hand, it is troubling if we have a situation
where we have two offenders who committed
similar crimes and have similar backgrounds, if they face different sentences.
But its unclear if thats happening
because the possibility hasnt been studied
in-depth, he said.

The numbers compiled by the Board of


State and Community Corrections and provided to The Associated Press reect local
crime and poverty rates and counties vary-

ing ability to afford alternatives to jail such


as drug treatment. Some counties tend to
hold people while they await court hearings, while others let them out immediately.

GOP celebrates good week, but challenges ahead


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Republicans are looking


like theyve finally figured out how to govern.
The GOPs first months in control of both
chambers of Congress were marked by highprofile stumbles and a near-shutdown of the
Homeland Security Department. But this
week, the party celebrated important successes.
Republicans in both the House and the
Senate came together to pass boldly conservative and balanced budgets, and House leaders struck a bipartisan deal on Medicare that
passed on a huge vote and is expected to clear

Magnitude-4.1 quake shakes
central California; no damage
COALINGA A series of small
earthquakes jolted an area of central
California, but there were no reports
of damage.
The largest in the sequence a
magnitude-4.1 temblor hit at
6:30 a.m. Friday and was centered 6
miles north of Coalinga at a depth of
7 miles, the U.S. Geological Survey
said.
The quake wasnt too strong and
lasted four or five seconds, said
Christine Mercer, a dispatcher with
the Coalinga Police Department.
You could kind of hear the rumble

Mercer said police received numerous calls, but none reported any

Scientists said the quakes occurred

SAN BERNARDINO A 22year-old college student whose disappearance had police scouring

Congress for years, producing a result widely

Yet Republicans stopped short of declaring
that they had tamed Capitol Hill.
Several noted that some of the specific conditions that helped grease the budget and the
Medicare deal are not likely to surface on other
issues. In the Senate, for example, special
rules governing the budget allowed
Republicans to approve it with a simple
majority, not the 60 votes required for most
legislation, meaning they could push it
through on a party-line vote without
Democratic help.

In a statement she released to the

and computer problems were causing her to fall behind in her studies
at the Art Institute of CaliforniaInland Empire.
Things got so bad that I didnt
know what to say or who to ask for
help, she wrote. I had dug a hole
so deep, that I felt entirely hopeless.
So on March 9, she said, she
walked out of her apartment, threw
her computer and a few other
belongings over a wall and left
with just a few dollars in her pocket.
Barber said spent most of the

staying under assumed names.
After leaving the second hospital,
she met a woman she said treated

Pelosi irks some allies over bipartisan bill


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

House
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi
bruised some longtime liberal allies
when she worked with Speaker John
Boehner to craft a rare bipartisan
accord on Medicare. But lawmakers
say it will enhance her stature as a
dealmaker, and may help her party
avoid being sidelined by majority
Republicans over the next two
years.
Pelosi and her fellow Democrats
disappointed friends in the abortion-rights lobby by backing a bill
to avoid future cuts in Medicare
physician payments. As Thursdays
392-37 House vote suggests, the
bill was a compromise, with appeal
to both parties.
Democrats boasted it would
extend the Childrens Health
Insurance Program for two years,
and increase federal matching rates
for states. But it also would reinforce abortion restrictions at community health centers, a GOP priority that abortion-rights groups
strongly oppose.
For that reason, many Senate
Democrats, including their leader,
Harry Reid of Nevada, called the bill

un a c c e p t a b l e
earlier
this
month. By then,
however, Pelosi
was deep into
n eg o t i at i o n s
with Boehner, an
O

Republican.
The standoff
Nancy Pelosi
was politically
strange: Pelosi, the 15-term liberal
hero and unquestioned defender of
abortion rights, seemed less
adamant about the topic than did
Reid, who came to Washington 31
years ago as an abortion opponent.
Reid announced Friday he will not
seek re-election next year.
President Barack Obama further
weakened
Reids
position
Wednesday, when he called the bill a
good
bipartisan
agreement.
Lawmakers said Senate passage
seems probable though timing was
uncertain.
Pelosis allies defended her tradeoff. They say she inflicted a nonfatal
wound to one constituency in
exchange for proving that Boehner
can and sometimes must turn
to Democrats for crucial votes he
cant get from his hard-right, hell

the Democrats who have been shedding crocodile tears about the lack of consensus in moving legislation actually match their rhetoric
with action.
In the House, under a complicated process
barring filibusters on deficit-reducing budget
bills, passing a budget was the only way to
allow Republicans to craft a bill to repeal the
presidents health care law that could actually
make it to President Barack Obamas desk.
That provided powerful incentive for some
conservatives to swallow their aversion to
deficit spending and go along.
It remains to be seen whether the successes

the fourth quarter the strongest
performance in eight years and even
better than the 4.2 percent estimated
a month ago. Export growth was
also stronger than previously estimated, but those gains were offset by
slower growth in business inventories, leaving total GDP unchanged.
Economic growth for all of 2014
was also unchanged at 2.4 percent,
only a tiny improvement from the
2.2 percent growth seen in 2013.

For the past five years, growth has


averaged a subpar 2.2 percent.
Economists, however, believe
strong gains in consumer spending
will propel growth to a rate of at
least 3 percent in 2015, which would
be the best performance in a decade.
In 2014, the economy actually
shrank at an annual rate of 2.1 percent in the first quarter as the country
was hit by a series of severe winter
storms. Growth rebounded to a 4.6
percent rate in the spring and a 5 percent rate in the third quarter in the

strongest performance in 11 years.


But growth slowed in the fourth
quarter, and the deceleration is
expected to extend into the JanuaryMarch period, reflecting the impact
of winter storms and shipping disruptions from a West Coast port dispute.
The current economic expansion
will mark its sixth anniversary in
June, meaning it will have already
lasted 14 months longer than the

Co-pilot may have hidden illness


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONTABAUR, Germany
Germanwings co-pilot Andreas
Lubitz appeared happy and healthy
to acquaintances, but a picture
emerged Friday of a man who hid
evidence of an illness from his
employers including a torn-up
doctors note that would have kept
him off work the day authorities
say he crashed Flight 9525 into an
Alpine mountainside.
As German prosecutors sought
to piece together the puzzle of why
Lubitz locked his captain out of the
cockpit and crashed the Airbus
A320, police in the French Alps
toiled to retrieve the shattered
remains of the 150 people killed in
Tuesdays crash.
Searches conducted at Lubitzs
homes in Duesseldorf and in the
town of Montabaur turned up documents pointing to an existing illness and appropriate medical treatment, but no suicide note was
found, said Ralf Herrenbrueck, a

spokesman for
the Duesseldorf
p r o s e c ut o r s
office.
They included
ripped-up sick
notes covering
the day of the
crash,
which
Andreas Lubitz support the
current preliminary assessment that the deceased
hid his illness from his employer
and colleagues, Herrenbrueck said
in a statement.
Doctors
commonly
issue
employees in Germany with such
notes excusing them from work,
even for minor illnesses, and
workers hand them to their
employers. Doctors are obliged to
abide by medical secrecy unless
their patient explicitly tells them
he or she plans to commit an act of
violence.
Prosecutors didnt specify what
illness Lubitz may have been suffering from, or say whether it was

mental or physical. German media


reported Friday that the 27-yearold had suffered from depression.
The Duesseldorf University
Hospital said Friday that Lubitz
had been a patient there over the
past two months and last went in
for a diagnostic evaluation on
March 10. It declined to provide
details, citing medical confidentiality, but denied reports it had
treated Lubitz for depression.
Neighbors described a man
whose physical health was superb

took part in several long-distance
runs.
He definitely did not smoke. He
really took care of himself. He
always went jogging. ... He was
very healthy, said Johannes

Iran says nuke talks focused on


sealing deal despite Yemen crisis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAUSANNE, Switzerland Irans


foreign minister sought Friday to dismiss concerns that his countrys preoccupation with the crisis in Yemen
could serve as a distraction at nuclear
talks with six world powers, saying
the negotiations remained focused on
sealing a deal.
Yemen is the hot issue of the day
and has come up at the talks but it
doesnt mean that we negotiated
about it, Mohammad Javad Zarif told
reporters.
Saudi-led air strikes on Shiite
rebels in Yemen are further straining
relations between the Sunni Gulf
kingdom and predominantly Shiite
Iran. Zarif said they have to stop and
everybody has to encourage dialogue
and national reconciliation.
Despite Irans concerns over
Yemen, however, our negotiations
are confined to the nuclear issue, he
said.
Zarif spoke shortly after his first
meeting of the day with U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry. The
sides are hoping to narrow gaps in
time to reach a preliminary deal by
the end of the month. That would
allow them to try and negotiate a
comprehensive agreement by late
June to put long-term curbs on
Tehrans nuclear activities in
exchange for sanctions relief.

Yemen will have no affect on talks.
President Barack Obama thought that
would be unwise.
We need to see sustained longrange compliance with the agreement
before we start having a conversation
about removing things like the statutory sanctions that have been so critically important, said Earnest.
There is a way for us to do this in a
phased fashion over the course of
time.
Iranian officials have been upbeat
recently about the chances of making
enough progress by Tuesday to permit them to proceed into the summer.
But Zarif was less bullish Friday, saying only that he hoped the sides

would come to a common understanding by next week.


The talks are very difficult and
very complicated, he told Iranian
TV.
In Washington, British Foreign
Secretary Philip Hammond said the
parties were better than half way to
a deal.
On some issues were close
enough that we can be sure we will
reach agreement on them, Hammond
said. But on others, he added, we are
significantly apart and its going to
require a significant move by the
Iranians to reach our red line positions.

Business brief
Google, Johnson & Johnson
team up to build robot surgeons
SAN FRANCISCO Google is teaming up with
Johnson & Johnson to build robots that can help surgeons
in the operating room.
The alliance announced this week dovetails with two of
Googles initiatives beyond its main business of Internet
search and advertising. Google has been investing in medical research aimed at extending lives and in robotic technology that can free up humans to do other things.
The companies will try to engineer robotic technology
that will reduce patient trauma and accelerate post-surgery
healing.
Google will work with Ethicon, a medical device company owned by Johnson & Johnson.
Financial terms of the deal arent being disclosed.
Johnson & Johnsons innovation center in California
negotiated the partnership with Google, which is based in
Mountain View, California.

NEW YORK A tough week on the


stock market ended quietly Friday.
Major indexes notched modest
gains, not nearly enough to make up
for the four previous days of losses. It
wound up being the second-worst week
for the market so far this year.
The Dow Jones industrial average
remains down slightly for 2015, and
the Standard & Poor's 500 index is
essentially flat.
There was no one major catalyst to
move the market one way or another
Friday. Biotechnology stocks, battered over the last week, were among
the top gainers, while energy stocks
lagged as the price of oil fell.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 34.43 points, or 0.2 percent, to
17,712.66. The S&P 500 rose 4.87
points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,061.02
and the Nasdaq composite rose 27.86
points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,891.22.

Stocks fell most of the week due to a


combination of weaker-than-expected
economic data and concerns that the
rapid rise of the dollar may crimp U.S.
corporate earnings. Companies start
releasing their first-quarter results next
month.
The biggest sell-off came on
Wednesday, when a report showed
orders at U.S. factories for long-lasting manufactured goods fell in
February, the latest disappointing data
suggesting the U.S. economy has hit a
soft patch. The Dow plunged nearly
300 points that day.
The question is whether the U.S.
economy is really slowing down or
whether the phenomenon can be
blamed on the nasty winter weather. In
addition to first-quarter earnings
reports, investors will also be watching the Labor Department's monthly
job markets survey, due out April 3, for
insight into how the economy is
doing.
"I'm trying to be as forward-looking
as possible here. Clearly the weather

had some sort of impact this quarter,


but I still believe U. S. economic
growth is strong," said Scott Wren, a
global equity strategist at Wells Fargo
Advisors.
The turmoil in Yemen has caused
heightened volatility in oil markets
this week as well. The tensions have
erupted into a regional conflict, with
Saudi Arabia and its allies bombing
Shiite rebels allied with Iran, while
Egyptian officials said a ground assault
will follow the airstrikes. Iran
denounced the Saudi-led air campaign,
calling it "a dangerous step."
While the price of U.S. crude fell
sharply Friday, it still finished much
higher for week, up more than 10 percent. It was the biggest weekly gain for
oil since March 2009.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell 5 percent,
or $2.56, to close at $48.87 a barrel in
New York. U.S. crude finished last week
at $45.72. Brent crude, a benchmark
for international oils used by many
U.S. refineries, fell $2.78 to close at
$56.41 in London.

Apple CEO plans to give away most of his fortune


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Apple CEO Tim


Cook is joining a long list of magnates
promising to give away most of the
wealth that they amass during their
careers.
Cook mentioned his intentions in a
story about him published Thursday by
Fortune magazine. After paying for the
college education of his 10-year-old
nephew, Cook says he will donate the rest
of his money to philanthropic causes.
Apple Inc. declined to comment Friday.
The charitable commitment echoes
pledges made by other executives far rich-

er than Cook, who is


54.
Microsoft
cofounder Bill Gates,
Berkshire Hathaway
CEO Warren Buffett
and Oracle Chairman
Larry Ellison are
among more than 120
wealthy people and
Tim Cook
families who have
announced they will give away their fortunes. Gates, Buffett and Ellison each
have a net worth of at least $54 billion
and rank among the five richest people in
the world, according to Forbes magazine.

Most of Cooks wealth is tied up in an


Apple grant of restricted grant that he
received in 2011 when he succeeded Steve
Jobs as Apples CEO. That grant is now
worth about $860 million. Most of the
restricted grant will vest in separate
tranches next year and in 2021.
Apple can rescind some of the restricted
grant if the companys stock lags the performance of the Standard & Poors 500 for
an extended stretch. That hasnt been an
issue during the past year, with Apples
stock surging by about 60 percent to lift
the companys market value above $700
billion. The S&P 500 has gained 11 percent over that period.

Altera stock soars on sales talks


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Alteras stock


soared to its highest price in nearly four
years Friday on a report the chipmaker is
in talks to be sold to industry leader
Intel.
The Wall Street Journal didnt cite any
sources in its report about the negotiations and cautioned that a deal might not

be consummated. Investors, though, are


betting on a takeover.
Altera Corp.s stock surged $9.81, or
28 percent, to finish at $44.39, its highest closing price since June 2011. Intel
Corp.s shares rose $1.92, or more than
6 percent, to close at $32.
Intel, based in Santa Clara, California,
declined to comment Friday. Altera of
San Jose, California, didnt immediately

respond to requests for comment.


Altera makes chips used in phone networks and cars, two areas that Intel has
been angling to get into as demand for
personal computer chips slips. As the
worlds largest maker of PC chips, Intel
has been hurt by the downturn in the
sales of desktop and laptop machines as
more people rely on smartphones and
laptops to connect to the Internet.

for the Grizzlies where a top-shelf opponent


ran away for a big victory. Memphis lost to
Cleveland 111-88 on Wednesday night.
The 3-point shooting was only one aspect
of the Warriors domination. They had a 4330 advantage on the boards, including 14
offensive rebounds. Golden State turned 19
Memphis turnovers into 32 points.
The Warriors basically took over the game
in the third and were only slightly threatened the rest of the way.
Curry came out hot in the third, scoring 17
points, converting 6 of 9 shots, including 4
of 6 from outside the arc.

That helped the Warriors extend the lead to


as many as 22 as Golden State outscored
Memphis 31-16 in the quarter, carrying an
85-65 lead into the fourth.
Soon after, Memphis frustration boiled
over when Gasol slammed the ball against
the basket support and drew a technical foul.
Memphis used an 8-0 run early in the
fourth to make it interesting for the home
crowd. But Curry re-entered near the midway
point of the quarter and promptly converted
a 3-pointer and was fouled on his next 3point attempt. After making all three free

Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.
Klay Thompson finished with 28 points

With Fridays game being the last prior to


Serra baseballs two-week respite from West
Catholic Athletic League play, it was important to go out on a good note.
Mission accomplished.
The Padres offense exploded for a sevenrun fifth and right-hander Chris Apecechea
fired six shutout innings to lead Serra (2-3
in WCAL, 7-4 overall) to a 10-0 win over
Sacred Heart Cathedral (0-5, 5-7) Friday at
Frisella Field.
Apecechea started the season as a lateinning reliever, but moved into the rotation
March 12 against De La Salle. The junior
went the distance in his first varsity start,
giving Serra manager Craig Gianinno a
solid option for a pitching rotation dealt
with a pair of key injuries.
Our two juniors (Apecechea and Nick Von
Tobel) and senior Cal Riley have endured the
workload until this point and have done a
real remarkable job, Gianinno said.
Entering into the week scuffling through a
three-game losing streak to start its WCAL
schedule, Serra has now won two straight,
both by sturdy margins. Tuesday, the Padres
got their first league win with a 12-3 thrashing of Riordan; and Friday, they got the bats
going late to send 11 batters to the plate in
the seven-run fifth.
It was nice, finally, because the first
three games we had a total of nine hits,
Serra leadoff hitter Chris Papapietro. So,
now, the last two, these were good wins for
us. Hopefully we can build on that.
On the mound, Apecechea now 2-1 with
a 1.22 ERA hit his stride after soldiering
through a first-inning jam. The junior set
down the first two batters he faced before
SHC loaded the bases. But Apecechea buckled down for one of his four strikeouts on the
day, notching the punch-out with his best
breaking ball of the inning.
Apecechea cruised through the latter
innings, facing one over the minimum
through his final four frames, with some

HOUSTON Growing up in Poland,


Przemek Karnowski had to stay up until 2 or
3 a.m. to watch the NCAA Tournament.
Gonzagas big man got to star in the show
in prime time on Friday night, scoring 18
points with nine rebounds to lead the second-seeded Bulldogs to a
74-62 win over No. 11
seed UCLA in the Houston
Regional semifinals.

Gonzaga (35-2) in the

Karnowski
UCLA (22-14) opened
the second half with a 6-0 run to get within 3534. Gonzaga got going after that, scoring the
next 12 points, thanks to the powerful inside
game of the 7-foot-1, 288-pound Karnowski to
make it 47-34.
For me it was always a dream to be here
and to play deep into the NCAA
Tournament, Karnowski said. And right
now Im here and Im trying to enjoy every
second of it.
Karnowski helped the Bulldogs grab six
more offensive rebounds than UCLA, which
Bruins coach Steve Alford believes was the
key to the game.
We didnt rebound the basketball, Alford
said. They got too many second shots.
Gonzagas Kyle Wiltjer raved about
Karnowskis work.
He was a beast down there, just gobbling
up offensive boards, Wiltjer said. Its so
easy for us, especially when were on the
perimeter, to just throw it down to him and
he gets a bucket.

Stanford women eliminated by Notre Dame


By Cliff Brunt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OKLAHOMA CITY Stanford was simply


overmatched.
Lindsay Allen scored a career-high 28
points to help top-seeded Notre Dame defeat
the Cardinal 81-60 in the NCAA womens
Sweet 16 on Friday night.
Allen entered the night averaging just under
10 points per game, but she matched her
career high with 24 points in the first half.

Jewell Loyd took over after halftime and


scored 17 of her 21 points after the break for
the Fighting Irish (34-2).
Bonnie Samuelson scored 17 points and
Erica McCall and Amber Orrange each added
12 for No. 4 seed Stanford (26-10).
Cardinal coach Tara VanDerveer said her
team competed, and it still wasnt enough.
I just think we lost to a really outstanding
team, she said. Congratulate Notre Dame
and Muffet. I thought our team played really,
really well. They had some really outstanding

players, and they played a really great game.


It was the first postseason meeting for two
of womens basketballs coaching greats
VanDerveer and Notre Dames Muffet
McGraw. It was just the third ever meeting
between the schools Stanford won the previous meetings in 1990 and 1991.
Allen scored nine quick points to help the
Irish take a 20-11 lead. The Cardinal
trimmed that to 34-29 with about 3 minutes
left in the first half before Allen drained two
3-pointers to help the Fighting Irish close

the half on an 8-2 run and take a 42-31 lead


into the break.
Stanford cut its deficit to 48-44 early in the
second half before Loyd got going. Her 3point play with just over 10 minutes remaining put Notre Dame up 59-47. The Fighting
Irish shot 52 percent in the second half to
pull away.
Jewell Loyd is probably the (national)
player of the year, VanDerveer said. We were
just dodging some bullets in the first half, and
she picked it up in the second half.

December. Gonzagas only loss to UCLA in


the four-game history of the series came in a
73-71 defeat in the regional semifinal in
2006.
It will be the first trip to the round of
eight for Gonzaga coach Mark Few, who
took over the season after they last made it.
The one accomplishment that we havent
done is reach the Final Four and we finally
have an opportunity to do that, Few said.
The Bruins couldnt find any offense as
Gonzaga built its lead early in the second half.
Domantas Sabonis drew oohs and ahhs from
the crowd when the 6-10 Lithuanian grabbed a
bounce pass from Karnowski and sailed over
Isaac Hamilton for a one-handed dunk that made
it 51-37 with 11 minutes remaining.
Karnowski found Sabonis again a few

minutes later, when he passed it behind his


back and Sabonis finished with a layup to
push the lead to 14 points.
Gonzaga was up 13-10 less than six minutes into the game when both offenses went
cold, combining to miss the next 19 shots.
There were missed layups, shots from the
outside that clanged off the rim and even a
couple of air balls. No matter what either
team tried, they simply couldnt make a shot
for about 6 1/2 minutes. Gonzaga extended
the lead a bit with three free throws.
Powell finally ended the field goal
drought when he drove into the lane and his
layup mercifully fell through the net to cut
the lead to 16-12 about eight minutes before
halftime. The Bulldogs scored a few seconds
later on a jump shot by Karnowski.

Gonzaga led 35-28 at halftime.


With both teams struggling to shoot,
many questions were asked about whether
the venue caused problems. The games are
being played in NRG Stadium, which is
home to the Houston Texans, and the setup,
with no walls behind either basket, challenges players depth perception.
Entering Fridays game, teams have shot a
combined 39.8 percent in nine NCAA
Tournament games at NRG. UCLAshot 38.8 percent on Friday and Gonzaga shot 40.3 percent.
But no one on either team would use that
as an excuse.
We just missed shots, Wiltjer said. You
either make them or you dont. We dont
really blame it on the arena or anything like
that.

Louisville marches past N.C. State 75-65 South wins


By John Kekis

And he did it against his hometown team.


Its kind of weird. I didnt really realize
we were playing N.C. State, Gill said.
Weve been so focused on what we need to
do as a team. Its funny how things work.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Montrezl Harrell is


not ready for the end of his college career at
Louisville just yet. Anton Gill helped make
sure it continues at least one more game.
Harrell scored 24 points, Gill keyed a
late-game surge with seven points off the
bench, and Louisville beat North Carolina
State 75-65 on Friday night in the East
Regional semifinals of the NCAA
Tournament.
We dont want to go home, said Harrell,
a junior who plans to enter the NBA Draft.
We took our bumps and bruises throughout
the season, but we came together at the
right time. Everything just gelled at the
right time.
Louisville (27-8), the fourth seed in the
East and seeking to make its third Final
Four in four years, will play either No. 3
seed Oklahoma or seventh-seeded Michigan
State in the East final on Sunday. The
Sooners and Spartans played in Fridays
nightcap in the Carrier Dome.
After toppling top-seeded Villanova,
North Carolina State (22-14), the eighth

team that refused to quit.
Late in the game they made some plays
there that were the difference, N.C. state

couple of tough shots there. I thought it was
that little stretch that gave them the cushion, and it was the difference in the game.
Louisville wasnt given much chance of

Cardinals.

Before the game, Pitino promised a surprise and Gill delivered. Gill, who averaged
9.5 minutes and 2.4 points during the season, hit a runner and a 3 from the right corner
in a span of a minute as Louisville regained
the lead late in a seesaw game. He followed
with a tough baseline drive through traffic

Anton and I had an interesting conversation the other day, Pitino said. I said,
Youre going to get your opportunity, son.
He went in and basically won the game for us.

GREENSBORO, N.C. North Carolina


just couldnt protect its late lead.
The Tar Heels led by three in the final 90
seconds before falling 67-65 to South
Carolina on Tiffany Mitchells driving basket with 4.2 seconds left in Friday nights
NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 game. It was a
painfully close finish for the Tar Heels, who
flirted with handing the No. 1-seeded
Gamecocks another earlier-than-expected
loss only to come up a couple of plays short.
I still think that were the better team,
sophomore center Stephanie Mavunga said.
I just feel as if, like I said, if there was just
one possession here or there and it would
have been a different team celebrating.
UNC led 63-60 entering the final 2 minutes, but there were several plays to lament
by the final horn. Most notably, there was a
hurried missed shot from Latifah Coleman
with 1:24 left, a loose offensive rebound on
a missed free throw that set up Olivia Gaines
bounce-around-the-rim tying 3-pointer, then
a missed contested 3 from Jessica
Washington that led to Mavunga fouling out
while battling for the rebound underneath.
That foul set up two free throws from Alaina
Coates for the lead in the final minute.
There was also a turnover when Mavunga
threw an outlet pass off a rebound to
Coleman, only to have her bumped by a
defender at the sideline and go out of bounds
with 3:17 left.
Each one came when the Tar Heels were on
the verge of increasing the pressure even
more on the Gamecocks.

Canha, Vogt
slug As past
Rangers 7-6
By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MESA, Ariz. Mark Canha hit a threerun home run in the bottom of the ninth
after the Rangers scored five times over the
final three innings to take the lead as the As
rallied for a 7-6 victory
Friday over the Rangers.
As starter Jesse Hahn
allowed a run on three hits
over 5 1/3 innings in his
first appearance against
the Rangers. He walked
one and struck out three.
Its good to learn
some of their hitters,
Mark Canha Hahn said. Of course,
they learn about me too.
Former Ranger Craig
Gentry doubled, tripled
and scored two runs for
the As. Stephen Vogt
homered among his two
hits and Ben Zobrist and
Billy Butler each drove
in a run.
He sees the ball really
Stephen Vogt
well
against
me,
Rangers starting pitcher Anthony Ranuado
said of Gentry. That was not the best
sequence to Butler either.
Hahn, who has been in the National
League, feels like hes ready for the season
to start. My arm feels great and I have a
good feeling for all my pitches, he said. I
cant wait for the season to start.
With one more scheduled spring start,
Hahn will be working on his changeup.
Catcher Luke Carlin pointed out a couple of
things about the change. He helped me on
things I need to do on the change-up, Hahn
said. I want to keep working on it. Im getting more confident throwing it.

Clippard tabbed interim closer


RHP Tyler Clippard was officially named
the As interim closer, while Sean Doolittle
continues to rehab from a shoulder strain.
Clippard closed for the Washington
Nationals, something that As manager Bob
Melvin said factored into the decision.
He has a good mix of pitches and I like
the experience, Melvin said. Hes pretty
unique. Youve got the goggles, the walk,
the arm slot and the pitches.
Clippard allowed two runs in the top of
the ninth but got the win when Canha hit a
three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth.

Stanford water polo star ready for more


By Janie MCcauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STANFORD When Maggie Steffens


learned that a 2-year-old girl in Chicago had
posed poolside with a stern game face and
deemed herself the next Steffens, the U.S.
water polo star immediately played along in
the fun.
She dug through her costume box and found
a colorful tutu, which she paired with a navy
blue princess swimsuit she happened to have
sitting around at home. She took her own
photo to match little Naevia Escalante, even
down to the ball held under her right arm,
then sent a side-by-side shot of the two pictures to USA Water Polo.
It became a huge hit on social media.
Steffens posted their pictures on Twitter
and Instagram, praising the toddlers focused
expression. She has reminded me of when I
first fell in love with the sport myself
(hash)inspiration (hash)twins Youre welcome on my team any day!
It inspired me and reminded me of when I
was that young and finding my passion,
Steffens said this week.
She returned from London nearly three
years ago with 21 Olympic goals and a gold
medal to her name at just 19 and immediately
wondered what was next.
Now back at Stanford, she has found her
niche, balancing her studies as a science,
technology and society major and trying to

repeat as NCAA champion after the Cardinal


captured their third championship in four
years last season.
She has grown a lot. That experience in
itself, I know shes always believed in herself you cant make it to where shes made
it without believing in yourself but that
experience gave her a wealth of knowledge
and sense of confidence that has helped her
be even better in all the areas she was already
very good at it, said U.S. womens water
polo coach Adam Krikorian.
You could argue that despite her age, she
was a veteran at the Games in 2012. Shes
one of those rare athletes who truly makes
everyone around them better.
A veteran as a 21-year-old, Steffens
notes with a chuckle. By this summer, she
will switch gears again for the run up to Rio
de Janeiro in 2016. Steffens will defer her
senior season at Stanford to focus on the
Olympics.
Not that shes getting too far ahead of herself.
Im a very in-the-moment type person,
Steffens said. Thats something I try to live
by.
When she goes to Rio knock on
wood, Steffens cautions she will be close
to finished with her major with four or five
classes remaining, which she hopes to get
done in a quarter or two.
As a first-time Olympian, she scored five of
her 21 goals in the championship game as the

United States beat Spain 8-5 for the


Americans first womens water polo gold
medal. The U.S. had endured two heartbreaking
silvers, in 2000 and 08, and a bronze in 2004.
Steffens cherished the time playing alongside her older sister, Jessica, a two-time
Olympic defender for the U.S. and former
Stanford player.
The 2014 FINA Womens Water Polo
Player of the Year, Steffens walks around
Stanfords tree-lined campus and blends right
in with other world-class athletes and
Olympians.
Not far from the East Bay suburb where she
grew up, Steffens is thankful to have the
Stanford community to keep her grounded,
motivated and committed to living a wellrounded life.
Training for London, my whole body and
soul was there, she said. There was nothing
else I wanted except for that one goal, and to
get it with my team, and once thats done,
Wow, wheres all my breathing and my living going now? Luckily I have Stanford to
kind of create that transition.
She is taking some graduate-level classes
in the design school. Last fall, during her
toughest quarter yet, she worked on a dominoes board that was intended as a Christmas
gift for her dad.
Its not a beautiful masterpiece but its
something I made, she said. Its like when
you cook dinner for yourself it always tastes
better.

Blanco batters Dodgers Greinke, Giants win 8-4


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. Zack Greinke struggled with his command in his fourth spring
start, allowing five hits in 3 2/3 innings as
the Los Angeles Dodgers fell to the San
Francisco Giants 8-4 on Friday night.
After retiring the Giants first three batters in a crisp first inning, Greinke walked
Andrew Susac and gave up a single to Gregor
Blanco in the second. Susac and Blanco
scored on an error by left fielder Carl
Crawford, who dropped a routine fly ball by
Ehire Adrianza.
In the fourth, the Giants got to Greinke
for two runs, first on Blancos RBI triple
and then an RBI double by starting pitcher
Chris Heston that ended Greinkes night.
It was pretty horrible, Greinke said.
Greinke underwent an anti-inflammatory
injection for swelling in his right elbow.
With the spring schedule drawing to a close,

it looks as if hell have


only one more start
before the season begins.
After tonight, I feel
like I probably need five
more starts, he said.
The Dodgers scored
three times in the first on a
two-run double by Adrian
Gregor Blanco Gonzalez and an RBI single by Crawford.
Susac hit a solo homer in the sixth for the
Giants, who added three runs in the ninth.
Heston gave up four hits in six innings.
Its spring, but that was nice work, Giants
manager Bruce Bochy said of the right-hander who will start the season in Triple-A
Sacramento.

twin killing is fast becoming a staple of the
Padres infield.
Once I was able to establish my curveball
early in the game, I felt like I was confident the
rest of the game, Apecechea said. Then having the great defense behind me really helped.
Serra got on the board in the third. Nick
Knecht drew a leadoff walk to start the frame.
Tyler Villaroman followed with a single to
left. Then after Knecht advanced to third on an
errant pickoff throw, the junior scored on an
RBI groundout by Chris Underwood.
Papapietro followed with a shot through the
left side of the infield to drive home
Villaroman, giving the Padres a 2-0 lead.
Serra missed a scoring opportunity in the
fourth after starting the inning with a Felix
Aberouette walk and James Outman reaching
on an error. But after Angelo Bortolin hit a
booming fly ball to advance Aberouette to
third, the rally stalled when Knecht drilled a
liner back through the box that SHC pitcher
Matt Carlin body-checked and corralled for
the second out of the frame.
The Padres ultimately stranded runners at
the corners. But when they got another
chance in the fifth inning, they did not miss
it. The SHC defense opened the door for
Underwood to reach on an infield error to
start the inning. Underwood stole second

spring games, more than anybody else on
the Dodgers roster. But manager Don
Mattingly wouldnt say whether Pederson
will be his starting center fielder when the
season opens April 6 at Dodger Stadium
against the Padres.
Joc has had a good camp, Mattingly
said. Hes swung the bat well. We wanted to
see him as much as we could, see how his
routines were going to be and how he would
react day-to-day. Hes handled it well.

fastball to right-center for an RBI single.
Scott Ota greeted the SHC bullpen with a
long double to left-center to score
Papapietro. Aberouette was intentionally
walked and Outman followed with a walk to
load the bases. Then facing SHCs third
pitcher of the inning, Knecht rapped a tworun single to center to score Ota and
Aberouette. And after Villaroman walked to
reload the bases, Underwood produced a bolt
double to right field to clear the bases, giving Serra a 9-0 lead.
In the sixth, the Padres added their final
run. Calvin Riley led off the inning with a
double then scored on an RBI single by Ota.
Ota and Papapietro were each 2 for 4 with
two RBIs. Otas day comes on the heels of a
5-for-5 outburst Tuesday. It was Serras first
five-hit game of the season and the first time
a Padre has done so since 2013. The senior
outfielder currently paces the WCAL with a
.575 batting average. Papapietro ranks second in the league with a cool .500 average.
With Serra set to play in the prestigious
Boras Baseball Classic of California tournament next week, Gianinno is optimistic
about the return of two of his mainstay pitchers in junior John Besse and Vinnie Venturi.
Expected to anchor the pitching staff at
the outset of the season, the two have been
limited by minor arm fatigue. Venturi
pitched two nonleague games at the start of
the season, but has not pitched since March
7. Gianinno said Venturi was cleared to pitch
Friday. Besse made his 2015 debut Tuesday
with four innings of relief to earn the win
against Riordan.

With Agbuke grabbing eight rebounds in
the opening five minutes of the second half,
the Lady Bears wasted little time in taking
control. The senior entered the game averaging 5.9 points per game, having scored a
combined seven points in Baylors two

However, she was 9 of 17 from the field
on Friday, topping her career best for points
with a jumper that put the Lady Bears up 5640 while even outshining Davis, the Big 12

points Agbuke had scored in a game this
season was 12, which happened three times.
After opening the game on an 8-0 run,
Baylor appeared in control while going up

came after an inside basket by Davis.


Iowa, however, stormed back with an 11-0

Doctors look to make youth sports safer


By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK To toughen safety


standards in youth sports, medical
experts are turning away from lawmakers and toward high school
sports associations to implement
policies and procedures to prevent
deaths and serious injuries.
The National Athletic Trainers
Association and the American
Medical Society for Sports Medicine
completed two days of meetings and
programs with representatives from
all 50 state high school athletic associations Friday at the NFL offices in
Manhattan. The goal was to have
decision-makers return to their states
and push high schools to put into
place recommendations on how best
to handle potentially catastrophic
medical conditions such as heat
stroke, sudden cardiac arrest and head
and neck injuries.
Some states, such as Arkansas,
have passed laws requiring schools to
meet certain standards, but Doug
Casa, director of athletic training education at the University of
Connecticut, said high school asso-

ciations should be first to act because


they have more flexibility to move
quickly.
Trying to get a state law passed,
one, can take a long time but two,
sometimes a lot of things get
attached to the laws that werent the
original intention. Also, theyre
written by people who dont truly
understand the nuances of a football
practice or how sports work into the
system of a school year. Those are
nuances that the state high school
association totally gets, Casa said.
In 2013, best practice recommendations were published in the Journal
of Athletic Training, but many states
are still lagging in implementation
of those guidelines. They include
having a full-time athletic trainer on
staff, having automated external
defibrillators in every school and
accessible to all staff members, and
having an emergency action plan for
managing serious and potentially life
threatening injuries. Funding is often
cited as the reason schools, many of
which are already struggling to make
ends, meet fail to implement these
recommendations.
According to the NATA and

AMSSM, only 37 percent of high


schools in the United States have
full-time athletic trainers. Only 22
percent of states meet the recommendation that every school or organization that sponsors athletics develop
an emergency action plan. Only 50
percent of states have met recommendations that all athletic trainers,
coaches, administrators, school nurses and other staffers have access to an
automated external defibrillator.
Casa said just 14 states meet the
minimum best practices with regard
to heat acclimatization, but the ones
that have adopted them since 2011
have had no athlete deaths from heat
stroke.
Casa cited Georgia, Arkansas,
Texas, North Carolina and New Jersey
as states that have been leaders in
implementing the recommendations.
Jason Cates, a member of the executive committee of the Arkansas
Athletic Trainers Association who
led reforms in Arkansas after a high
school basketball player died of sudden cardiac arrest in 2008, said that
while legislation can be help to move
programs forward, it can also create
problems with legal liability.

Warships on the move as


airstrikes widen in Yemen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen As airstrikes in


Yemen intensified on their second day
Friday, Egypt and Saudi Arabia were
considering an intervention on the
ground, aimed at giving the president a
secure foothold to return to the country, while backing Sunni tribesmen to
fight against Shiite rebels and their
allies, military officials said.
A likely entry point for troops from
the Saudi-led Arab coalition was the
southern port of Aden, the Yemeni and
Egyptian military officials told The
Associated Press. But that could be a
tough prospect: The city is already a
battleground, and on Friday forces
loyal to the rebels top ally, former
President Ali Abdullah Saleh, were
advancing toward it.
The officials comments to the AP
draw broad outlines for the likely strategy for the ambitious campaign
launched Thursday, led by Saudi Arabia
with a major role by its ally Egypt.
The aim, they said, was to carve out
enough room for President Abed
Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who was forced
to flee the country from Aden, to
return. Longer-term, the campaign
aims to wear down the Shiite rebels,
known as Houthis, and Salehs forces,

enough to reach a power-sharing
accord. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the
plans.
The credibility and legitimacy of
President Hadi erode with every day he
spends outside the country, said one
Yemeni military official. Hadi fled by
boat from Aden on Wednesday, making
his way to Saudi Arabia, and on Friday
arrived in the Egyptian resort of Sharm
el-Sheikh for an Arab summit due to
start the following day.

The forces of Saleh appear to be a


key concern. Saleh ruled Yemen with
an autocratic hand for nearly 40 years
until he was forced out and replaced by
Hadi in 2012 following an Arab Spring
uprising. But he remained in Yemen
and kept the loyalty of many military
commanders. One Yemeni official
Friday estimated that 70 percent of the
army is loyal to Saleh, including many
of the best armed and trained units
based around the country.
Those pro-Saleh troops have been
fighting alongside the Iranian-allied
Houthis, enabling them to take over
the capital Sanaa and much of the
country over the past months at
least 10 of Yemens 21 provinces.
Saudi Arabia and fellow Sunni-led
allies in the Gulf and the Middle East
view the Houthi takeover as an attempt
by Iran to establish a proxy on the
kingdoms southern border. Iran and
the Houthis deny that Tehran arms the
rebel movement, though it says it provides diplomatic and humanitarian
support. Washington says the U.S. is
providing refueling tankers and surveillance flights for the Saudi operations, and there are several U.S. troops
working in the operations center, but
the U.S is not taking direct military
action.

Israel to stop withholding
Palestinian tax revenues
JERUSALEM Israel said Friday that it will transfer
Palestinian tax revenues it has been withholding as punishment for the Palestinians application to join the
International Criminal Court.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus office said the
decision was made following the recommendation of
Israels security establishment and because of humanitarian considerations. Israel has been under international
pressure to release the frozen funds and Israeli security
officials had warned that continuing to hold back the revenue could spark violence.
Under existing agreements, Israel collects taxes and
customs on behalf of the Palestinians and then transfers
the sums to them. It has withheld funds before as retaliation for unilateral Palestinian actions. Over the past three
months it has collected hundreds of millions of dollars
without transferring the funds.

Levis welcomes Beast, WrestleMania


Brock Lesner in main event against Roman Reigns; Sting makes WrestleMania debut
By Dan Gelston
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Brock Lesnar will keep his heavyweight


championship defenses on the WWE
Network.
Up next for the wrestler known as The
Beast Incarnate, a date in the main event of
WrestleMania 31.
His UFC career isnt just on hold its
over.
Lesnar decided this week to spurn an MMA
return where he ruled for years as the heavyweight champion of both the cage and payper-view buy rates. He signed a multi-year
extension with WWE.
Ive been a barbarian my whole life, he
told the AP. Im just a smarter barbarian

now. Evolution, you know?


Lesnars decision was a boon for Vince
McMahons WWE in the days leading into
Sundays card at Levis Stadium in Santa
Clara. With rumors swirling that Lesnar was
ready to bolt after the card and head back to
UFC, the main event conclusion seemed
liked a (body) slam dunk with a lame duck
champ. Lesnar announced his deal live on
ESPN with the hope that WWE can keep the
fans guessing who will walk out of the ring
the champ.
Lesnar defends the WWE world heavyweight championship against Roman
Reigns in the main event of WWEs signature
weekend. The other big bouts include: John
Cena vs. Rusev, Seth Rollins vs. Randy
Orton and Bray Wyatt vs. The Undertaker.

But for wrestling fans, all eyes are on the


WWE debut of Sting when he wrestles Triple
H. Sting is the last of the all-time great stars
of the WrestleMania era to never compete for
the company. He spent 15 years headlining
for the now-defunct World Championship
Wrestling which battled WWE for
wrestling supremacy for most of the late
1990s and close to 10 years main eventing matches for TNA Wrestling.
The 56-year-old Sting (Steve Borden)
who paints his face and brings a baseball bat
into the ring made his debut late last year,
interfering in matches in the name of justice
and playing mind games with Triple H, the
crooked leader of The Authority.
Sting is glad he made the jump.
It was now or never, that was really it, he

said. With hindsight, after rubbing shoulders with the WWE and all the different
departments, its like, Wow, man, I should
have done this a long time ago.
Sting had pushed a match with The
Undertaker, calling it his big dream match.
But instead he gets Triple H, a real-life top
WWE executive, who served for years as one
of the faces of the company in the ring and
boardroom. Sting could still get that marquee
match against The Deadman next year. All
legendary hands will be on deck when the
WWE will try and cram 100,000 fans into
AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Theres no guarantee Sting will stick around, though. He could
call it a career after a final match Sunday.

A tradition unlike any other Game show is lottery,


By Mari Andreatta

There is no better way to exhibit school spirit than with a unique


and fun tradition.
All-school traditions are characteristic of the community that own
them and help its members feel
valued and included. Every school
does things differently, but every
school can benefit from a tradition. Notre Dame High SchoolBelmonts (NDB) tradition is
Aquacades.
The
Merriam-Webster
Dictionary definition of the word
aquacade is a water spectacle
that consists of exhibitions of
swimming and diving with musical accompaniment. While accurate, this definition is an understatement when it comes to NDB.

Aquacades, as described on the


schools website, is every Notre
Dame girls favorite event of the
year. To sum it up, the cheer squads
start off the night with their performances in the gym, and then
the student body moves to the
pool deck to watch dances and
synchronized swim routines in the
pool. Each class also creates a
detailed backdrop, often with
lights, 3D components and moving parts.
Aquacades takes place in late

The first order
of business is
to pick an overall theme for
the event (this years theme is
U. S. A. , so it is being called
Americades). The next step is to
pick a subcategory for each class
(for example, each class picked
one of the 50 states and was
assigned a music genre associated
with that state). After subcategories have been chosen, performance groups are created. Each class
has three deck routines (which

Man retraces Daniel Boones trek to Kentucky


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT BOONESBOROUGH, Ky.


Inspired by his own familys pioneering
roots in the Kentucky wilderness, Curtis
Penix walked nearly 240 miles through
arduous Appalachian terrain, to follow in
the footsteps of frontiersman Daniel
Boone.
The Michigan steel mill worker, toting
a 40-pound backpack, completed his 16day journey Thursday following the path
known as Boone Trace, which Boone and
his band of axe men had carved out in
March and April 1775. Penixs trek started in Tennessee, wound into Virginia and
took him to hallowed ground in
Kentucky, Fort Boonesborough,
which was built after Boone and men nished the trail. The path became an impor-

The lawsuit claimed Pao was red

Pao waved quickly to the jury as she
left the courtroom after the verdict was
announced.
I have told my story and thousands
of people have heard it. If I helped to
level the playing eld for women and
minorities in venture capital, then the
battle was worth it, she said, adding
that she will return to her career, family and friends.
The verdict came after a judge ordered
the panel to resume deliberations when
a discrepancy was found in the initial
vote count.
Jurors heard conicting portraits of
Pao during closing arguments. Her

The
American
dream started on this
road, the 46-year-old
Penix said.
His
trip
was
inspired by his fthCurtis Penix great grandfather,
Joshua Penix, who
followed Boone Trace on his way to Fort
Boonesborough.
This is where Grandpa Joshua came in
1779, Penix said. So he would have
been right here somewhere in this little
area.
His ancestor did quite well for himself in
the frontier. He eventually acquired 1,400
acres near Paris in central Kentucky, but
later parceled it off and sold it, Penix said.

Joshua Penix eventually became a plantation owner in Virginia.


Curtis Penix started his own journey on
March 10 near Kingsport, Tennessee
the same place where Boones group left
in March 1775. Penix followed the
famous frontiersmans route into Virginia
and through Cumberland Gap into
Kentucky.
During his adventure, Penix slept outside, crossed rivers on foot, trudged
through rain and mud and endured blistered
feet.
After ve days of traveling alone, Penix
was joined by walking companion Givan
Fox, 42, near the Virginia-Kentucky border. Foxs father, John, is president of
Friends of Boone Trace, a nonprot group
that hopes to preserve the historic route
as a hiking trail and a memorial to the pioneers.

attorneys said she was an accomplished junior partner who was passed
over for a promotion and red because
the rm used different standards to
judge men and women.
Kleiner Perkins attorney, Lynne
Hermle, countered that Pao failed as an
investor at the company and sued to
get a big payout as she was being
shown the door.
It never occurred to me for a second
that a careful and attentive jury like
this would nd either discrimination or
retaliation and Im glad to have been
proven right about that, Hermle said.
Juror Steve Sammut said jurors
thought Pao was driven and ambitious.
We felt that she was someone who
probably wouldnt take no for an
answer and was pushing for her agenda, Sammut said.
In making their case during the veweek trial, Paos attorneys said she
was excluded from an all-male dinner at
the home of Vice President Al Gore;

received a book of erotic poetry from a


partner; was asked to take notes like a
secretary at a meeting; and subjected to
talk about pornography aboard a private plane.
Juror Marshalette Ramsey, 41, said
she believed Kleiner Perkins had discriminated and retaliated against Pao.
Were all tasked to a certain standard
of conduct, and in a case like this it
brings to the forefront that something
innocent isnt really innocent in the
workplace, said Ramsey, a manager for
the Bay Area Rapid Transit system. I
think Ellen Pao, if nothing else, opens
all of our eyes to that.
A study introduced as evidence during
the trial showed that women are grossly underrepresented as partners in the
venture capital sector. Industry consultants say the case has already
sparked some technology and venture
companies to re-examine their cultures
and practices for potential gender bias.

Indie horror movie It Follows Vin Diesel says Oscars weighted


gets a wide theater release against action movies, sequels
Actor says latest Fast & Furious deserves an award for best picture

By Alicia Rancilio

By Louise Watt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Two weeks after opening


in just four theaters, the indie horror movie
It Follows is getting a wide release this
weekend.
The film has been getting positive
reviews for its originality, paranoia-inducing scenes and lack of a typical villain.
The movie starts out with my character,
Jay, and her boyfriend having this sexual
encounter. She soon realizes that he has
passed something on to her, this thing,
whatever we want to call it, thats haunting
her, and the only way to get rid of it is to
pass it on, actress Maika Monroe, 21, said
in a recent interview.
Director David Robert Mitchell came up
with the films premise from recurring
nightmares he had as a child, she said.
It was this consistent dream that he had
of this thing following him, and sometimes
it would come as a family member or someone that he recognized that hes never
seen, she said. And it just stuck with him,
and theres something so terrifying about a
consistency that it never will go away.
Monroe said shes aware that when horror
movies arent done right, theyre ridiculous.
The only way to make it believable or
draw the audience in for a film like this is
making it as real as possible, so that was
my goal.
Monroe said she wore headphones to try
to stay in the mindset where, OK, you
need to cry. That emotion is right there, but
its really hard, she laughed. Its very
draining. By the end of the day youre like,
Oh, my gosh, I just cried everything out.
Would she be interested in doing a sequel?
I would definitely be interested. I would

NEW YORK Larry David will hand over

in Fish in the Dark beginning June 9.

love to work with David again, she said.


Hes one of the most incredible directors

Her upcoming films include The 5th

based on the best-selling young adult book
by Rick Yancey.
Shell soon begin work on The Tribes of
Palos Verdes with Matt Dillon and Jennifer
Garner, about a girl from a dysfunctional
family who turns to surfing as a way to
escape.
Monroe said the role is very close to her
real life because she was a professional kiteboarder before switching paths to acting.
This industry is insane and can drive you
mad if youre not careful. For me that
(escape) is kiteboarding.

BEIJING Vin Diesel said Friday that the latest Fast & Furious lm deserves a best picture
Oscar but has two strikes against it when it
comes to the Academy its an action ick and
its a sequel.
Do I shy away from aiming high? No, I
dont, said the 47-year-old actor, who has
appeared in virtually all of the Fast & Furious
action lms based around fast cars. He spoke to
the Associated Press while in Beijing to promote the new lm.
And yet we all know that theres a little stigma towards action lms, we know it, weve
heard people complain about it, weve heard
Marvel complain about it, weve heard DC complain about it, and now Harry Potter, Hunger
Games, Batman has never gotten a shot at that,
he said.
Alluding to the fact that many of the recent
Oscar best picture winners havent fared well at
the box ofce, Diesel said: The Oscars have
been somewhat criticized in the last couple of
years for maybe not being as populist as they
could be, but we have a very powerful movie
here.
He said that Fast & Furious 7 has an emotional toll, which may make people argue that
it is more directed toward women. Were actually responding to the fact that our woman audience has just increased and has either eclipsed or
threatening to eclipse our male audience, weve
seen that across the board, said Diesel, who
also produces the Universal Pictures movie.
Diesel said that the Academy hasnt given a
best picture Oscar to a sequel since a 1974 movie
The Godfather: Part II. However, the nod
has gone more recently to the nal lm in a trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the
King in 2004.

In Fast & Furious 7,


Diesel plays street racer
Dominic Toretto, whose
family is threatened by
Jason Stathams character,
who is out for revenge for
the death of his brother.
Statham said audiences will
be able to relate to the fact
that both men are standing
Vin Diesel
up for their family.
All cultures around the
world, wherever you go,
everyone knows what family means, said Statham. He
was also in Beijing to promote the movie and attend
the China premiere, along
with Michelle Rodriguez,
who plays racer Letty Ortiz.
The lm is one of the last
Paul Walker
movies starring Paul
Walker, who died in a car crash during a break in
the lming of Fast & Furious 7 in November
2013. Walker was a passenger in the car, and
investigators cited unsafe speed as a cause of the
accident.
The movie was completed with help from
Walkers brothers and is a tribute to him.
Rodriguez said Walker loved the world of racing and adrenaline sports.
Im going to celebrate him, and Im going to
celebrate everything that he represented about
the celebration of life and the love of pushing
life to its edge because there are individuals on
this planet that cant live otherwise, they cant
live ordinary lives cooped up hiding from danger and Im one of those people and he was one
of those people, she said.
Fast & Furious 7, also known as Furious
7, opens in the United States on April 3 and in
China on April 12.

the Cort Theatre.


Alexander is a Tony Award winner for
Jerome Robbins Broadway and was last
on the Great White Way in 1990s
Accomplice. He was lured away from the
stage by Davids Seinfeld.
Fish in the Dark is about the gathering
of the Drexel family in present-day
California as they prepare to bid farewell to
their dying patriarch. Old rivalries and stillsimmering angers are reignited, which echo
through the next few days.

he said, and found it in Monopoly


Millionaires Club.
Future contestants will be drawn from
those
who
purchase
Monopoly
Millionaires Club scratcher tickets, said
Steve Saferin, president of Scientific Games
Properties, a division of instant-win lottery
games seller Scientific Games. The company has a licensing deal with Monopoly
maker Hasbro Games.
The scratchers include codes that, entered
online, can help a player get into a drawing
to win a trip to Las Vegas and an appearance
on the game show. The show will be available in most TV markets, but only 14 state
lotteries are involved at this point, a
spokeswoman said.

Players for the first dozen episodes were


drawn from a Monopoly-themed, multistate
lottery based on picking winning numbers.
That game was dropped by states that said it
failed to meet sales projections.
The shows action takes place in a studio
built on a Vegas casino parking lot, with the
audience of contestants divided into five
sections. A person from each section is chosen at random to play one of various
Monopoly-inspired games devised for the
show, with the winnings split by those in
the section.
The climax comes when a player decides
whether to risk his or her winnings for a
chance at up to $1 million, also to be
shared.

Everybody has a stake in the game, not


just one contestant, Belinkoff said. The
show also differs from others on TV because
of how lady luck counts in the selection of
players, he said.
Our contestants are not cast. They are
totally chosen at random, he said. Which,
as a producer, totally terrified me because
you never know who you are going to get.
But what its given us is a very refreshing
look at real people winning real money.
Does the added scratcher incentive of making it on to a TV game show increase the
inducement for people to gamble?
Theres so much gaming in the U.S. that
another lottery game isnt going to move
the needle, said Saferin.

spirit of the event, judges the competition.


By far, the best aspect of Aquacades is that
there is something for everyone: there are
opportunities to make up cheers, create
posters, construct noisemakers, dance on
the pool deck, synchronize swim, paint
your class backdrop (a giant canvas to
depict your class chosen subcategory and
music genre), do face paint at the preAquacades barbecue, root for your fellow
classmates and show off your school spirit.
In this way, every student is able to participate, even those who arent comfortable
dancing and swimming in front of the entire
school.
This spirit event not only unites individ-

ual classes and sister classes, but unites the


entire school as a whole. Theresa VallezKelly, the director of Student Leadership and
Activities at Notre Dame-Belmont, said
Aquacades is hard to describe.
You have to experience it to truly understand it, she remarks. Aquacades is the tie
that binds current students to students who
walked the halls of Notre Dame in the recent
past and years ago.
If your high school doesnt have its own
unique spirit event, I encourage you to suggest one. Notre Dames teachers and classrooms have changed over the years, but
whether you graduated last year or many
years ago, the tradition of Aquacades and its

impact has remained steadfast. How can


such a unique competition be such a bonding and lasting tradition? The teamwork and
camaraderie that it requires, the bonds of
sisterhood that it bolsters, the competition
that it playfully fosters, the union of past
and present that it brings to life and the satisfaction drawn from its achievements on
the stage are what make it a tradition well
beyond swimming and diving with musical
accompaniment.

GAUGUIN S GOLDEN PARADIS E
EXAMINED AT THE DE YOUNG
MUSEUM. Paul Gauguins Three Tahitians
(1899) is a feast for the senses, adapted centuries of experimentation by artists who
worked to overcome the visual nature of art
to appeal to all five senses. In an illustrated
talk, James Housefield investigates the
many ways that Gauguin sought to engage

multiple senses in his audiences, culminating in Three Tahitians. Examining the place
of this masterpiece in Gauguins career illuminates modern arts pursuit of multi-sensory engagement. Housefield is an assistant
professor in the department of design and
on the graduate faculties of art history,
design and French literature at the
University of California, Davis. This program, given in conjunction with Botticelli
to Braque: Masterpieces from the National
Galleries of Scotland, at the de Young

Sting, right, wrestled for years with the WWEs main rival, World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the 1980s and 1990s.
Sunday, hell make his WrestleMania debut after signing with WWE late last year. He will wrestle WWE mainstay Triple H, left.

WWE
Continued from page 11
Im feeling like this is probably going to be my last
one, Sting said. Well see how everyone reacts. If Im
asked to do one more at Survivor Series or maybe even
WrestleMania next year, at this point, I would consider it.
But realistically, this is going to be my last one.
For a company that long emphasized the Entertainment
in WWE Liberace, Kim Kardashian and Joan Rivers have
all appeared on the WrestleMania stage the worlds largest
wrestling promotion now runs more like a pro sports enterprise than a buffed-up circus.
Over the last several years, the WWE has made serious
advancements in its wellness program and its handling of
concussions. The home of Hulk Hogan, The Rock and Daniel
Bryan packaged all their greatest hits on a dedicated 24/7
network that boasts more than a million subscribers at
$9.99 per month.
The WWE also launched a true farm system called NXT in
Florida that grooms the next generation of superstars and
has a weekly show on the network.
Monday nights are no longer enough to handle all the
action.

Entertainment brief
Craig T. Nelson returning as Coach Fox in sequel
LOS ANGELES Craig T. Nelson is getting back in the
coaching game for NBC.
The network said that it has ordered 13 episodes of a
sequel to the 1989-97 ABC sitcom Coach that starred
Nelson as Hayden Fox, head coach of a college football
team.

But fans still flock to the USA Network like they have for
more than 20 years, with an average of 4.187 million viewers tuning in for last Mondays show. The highest-rated
NCAA Tournament game on cable through March 26 was a
Notre Dame-Butler contest that averaged 3.907 million
viewers.
The loyal fan base is one reason why the WWE started its
own network early last year and made all monthly pay-perviews available in the price. WrestleMania is still available
on traditional PPV Sunday, but at $69.99 its about seven
times the cost of one monthly subscription.
Sure beats spending up to $10,000 a ticket on Stubhub
the going rate as of Friday morning for field seats to the
show.
The WWE will also air its Hall of Fame induction ceremony Saturday night on the Network. Randy Savage, who died
in 2011, Kevin Diesel Nash and celebrity honoree Arnold
Schwarzenegger headline this years class.
Sting made his name on WrestleMania Sunday back in
1988 when he wrestled Ric Flair in a 45-minute draw when
the old NWA went head-to-head with a live event against
WWE. Sting, who hasnt wrestled since January 2014, spent
the week in California getting a taste of the pomp of the
WrestleMania ride.
Maybe I was wrong all those years ago, Sting said. But
its been a great experience for me and Im glad Im here.
In the new series, nearly 20 years have passed and Fox
has retired from coaching, NBC said Thursday. Thats until
hes called in to serve as assistant coach to his grown son,
the new head coach at an Ivy League school in
Pennsylvania.
Barry Kemp, who created the previous series, will write
and serve as executive producer. Details on other casting for
the sequel or an air date werent announced.
Nelson hasnt been away from TV. He co-starred in
Parenthood, which just wrapped a six-year run on NBC.

business to a pub that offers a unique farmto-table experience.
I think people really are concerned with
where their food comes from and concerned
with making sure we treat our resources well
and doing everything right to support
sustainability so we can pass these gems on
to future generations. So we certainly do our
best to leave a small footprint on the envi-

ronment and focus on doing the right


thing, Tom McGuirk said.
Along with the McGuirks seasonal
seafood products, customers can indulge in
burgers straight from the coasts premier
Markegard Family Grass-Fed ranch and finish off a meal with delectable sweets from
Half Moon Bays Born, Bred & Buttered
bakery. Even the leftover grain from the
brothers weekly brew is fed to Markegards
cattle because were just doing everything
we can to be sensitive about our impact,

McGuirk said the brothers will begin sourcing other seafood products like salmon and
tuna from local fisherman as well as awardwinning cheese from Pescaderos Harley
Farms.
Everything is local, we try to make it as
local as possible. I use the phrase, were
sharing the treasures of the coast, Tom
McGuirk said. Where else can you go sit
down and have a beer and have a conversation with the brew master who made the
beer, talk to the fishermen who caught the
crab and praise the baker who made the
desserts?
Patrick McGuirk said knowing his brothers commitment and passion made going
into business with his best friend an easy
choice.
This past summer we got together and he
kind of shared an idea, a vision, about taking his crabbing and combining it with
another fun and burgeoning type of business, which is craft brewing, and finding a
location that would literally take it from sea
to table, Patrick McGuirk said. The one
constant in this was knowing that it was
going to be with my brother.
A family affair, Toms wife Melissa
McGuirk also helps manage the restaurant
and develop recipes.
The brothers, who also have alternate day
jobs, said theyre working with friend Steve
Travis to brew the Cowboy Fishing
Companys IPA and cream ale proven popular among customers.
The restaurant currently holds limited
hours Thursday through Saturday and the duo
seeks to expand their brew operations as
they frequently sell out of their local concoctions.
In McGuirk spirit, the brothers supplement supplies by having several local alternates on tap, such as beers from the Hop
Dogma and Half Moon Bay brewing companies, as well as other West Coast favorites.
Although the seasonal menu chock full of
local goodies for the public to try will
change as the brothers continue their venture, the cowboy business motto will
undoubtedly remain.
Tom McGuirk said hes long had a pas-

THE DAILY JOURNAL


sionate and respect for life in the Wild West
when business was solidified with a handshake and cowboys reigned supreme. Code
proverbs include: live each day with
courage, take pride in your work, finish
what you start, do what has to be done, be
tough but fair, talk less and say more,
remember that some things arent for sale
and when you make a promise, keep it.
It just resonates really well with how we
operate the business and what were all
about, Tom McGuirk said. Its really a
simple practice that I think anyone can
establish in any stage of life, business, personal relationships etcetera.
Patrick McGuirk agreed, adding, at the
heart of it, its just an ethical way to conduct
a business and your life and its representative of the way we like to think of ourselves
and Cowboy Fishing.
Patrick McGuirk, 47, said he and his
younger brother Tom, 44, have long been
close having shared bunk beds as kids and
were again roommates for a short time in
college. On Saturday, the two shared another first as Patrick saddled up and took his
first ride on Toms boat to pick up crab
theyll serve up at the Cowboy Fishing
Company.
Weve just had an amazing friendship and
respect for each other and this was just an
ideal opportunity to work, once again and
partner with my best friend, Patrick
McGuirk said. Its been nothing short of
just awesome. I can honestly say to walk in
now and be a business owner and be a partner with Tom, Im just very very proud and it
gives me a lot of joy.
The Cowboy Fishing Company, located at
730 Main St., Half Moon Bay, is open 4
p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday s and Friday s as well
as 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday s. For more

THE DAILY JOURNAL

HOGAN
Continued from page 1
Officials also recently adopted a plan to
address the amount of black students being
suspended or placed in special education programs.
Black students historically have been disproportionately more likely to be suspended
or identified as suffering from a specific
learning disability based on the enrollment
demographics of the district, according to a
district report.
Following Hogans resignation, Goodman
suggested the board bring in a facilitator to
help trustees understand their role in leading
the district, and what they should assume is
the responsibly of a superintendent.
We cant put expectations on the superintendent if we dont know what our expectations are, he said.
The crowd assembled at the board meeting
Thursday night gave a standing ovation to
Hogan, and some members of the school
community advocated for him to withdraw
his resignation and stay with the district.
I do not accept your resignation, and I

a possible five stars, after claiming he walked
into the restaurant Wednesday, March 18, and
was refused service.
The waiter came up and asked how many.
I said one, I had planned to sit at the bar or
get the food to go. She said one? no, one?
and then ran off. I waited a minute at the door,
and then left, wrote Dan W. in his review.
Xue, doubting the validity of the claims,
accessed footage from his surveillance system
and watched when the disgruntled customer
alleged he was turned away, which showed the
man briefly entering the restaurant and then
leaving without speaking to anyone, while
other patrons waited patiently for a seat.

would really like it if you reconsider, said


district parent Rheem Nasrah.
Nasrah said Hogan brought positivity and
unity to a district which had struggled from
disorganization and distrust prior to his
arrival.
Those sentiments were echoed by Laura
Walsh, who said she could not stand any
more turnover among officials.
If I had the money, I would pull our kids
out of the district, she said.
But not all perspectives on Hogans performance have been so glowing.
Angelique Presidente, who graduated from
El Camino High School and now has a son
who is junior at the school, said in an email
she believed it is time for Hogan to go.
When so many things happen in one district, looking at the leader should of happened a long time ago, she said.
She advocated for someone with a keen
understanding of the South San Francisco
community, and the issues facing it, to step
up and take the job.
John Baker, who has a son in the district,
said he believes Hogan may have been construed by members of the school community
as insensitive during tumultuous periods,
such as the racial bullying incident, which
may have required a more deft touch.

He took an almost business-like


approach to certain issues that he should
have taken an emotional approach to, he
said.
He said many parents in the district did not
agree with Hogans decision to allow Putney
to stay with the district following the allegations of racial bullying at El Camino High
School, which may have led to dissatisfaction with the superintendent.
But ultimately, Baker said he believed that
Hogan was doing a fair job leading the district.
He was doing an adequate job, he said.
Was he spectacular? No. He wasnt doing a
bad job, but he wasnt doing a great job
either.
The board met in closed session with
Hogan earlier this month to evaluate his performance, but during the meeting Thursday,
president Judith Bush said she was caught off
guard by Hogans announcement.
Following the announcement, some
trustees expressed interest in perhaps promoting another candidate from within the
district, but others suggested that it might be
best to move slowly in the process before
adopting any clear strategy for identifying
the successor.
Going forward, the board will hold a spe-

cial meeting April 8, when they will meet


with a facilitator to help them draft a strategy
for hiring a new superintendent.
Hogans resignation is the latest in a series
of local district heads moving on from their
position.
Cynthia Simms, of the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District, and Jan
Christensen, of the Redwood City
Elementary School District, both announced
their intent to retire at the end of the semester. Scott Laurence, of the San Mateo Union
High School District, recently took the same
position in the Carmel Unified School
District. And the San Bruno Park Elementary
School District is looking for a replacement
for David Hutt, after he was ousted by the
Board of Trustees.
Hogan was born in Mexico and immigrated
to the United States at 16 years old when
adopted to an Irish man from Chicago who
was teaching in the San Joaquin Valley area
of California. He served as superintendent of
Salinas Union School District prior to joining the district. His final day on the job will
be June 30.

Xue then went to the restaurants website to


post Dans review, share the video footage
disproving the allegation and write a comment about what had transpired.
Dan, we didnt refuse to seat you. You
refused to wait in line like everyone else. You
thought you were special, so special that you
dont have to follow the rules. Thats not true,
we caught you, wrote Xue.
He then shared the story on Internet message board reddit.com, where food and gossip
blogs caught wind of it, which snowballed to
him eventually being interviewed on television by NBC.
He said the video has been watched more
than 100,000 times, the restaurants website
crashed under the influx of web traffic, and a
swell of reviewers on Yelp have responded by
posting five star reviews in favor of the company.

We always wanted to make our restaurant


popular, he said. We thought we were going
to do it by opening shops across the country,
not by posting a witty response online.
The Dan W. account has been deactivated by
Yelp, and his review has since been pulled
from the website.
Xue said he attempted to reach out to Dan W.
privately through Yelps messaging system,
but did not receive a response, and has not
heard back from him since posting the video.
Some people commenting on the Internet
have been critical of Xues methods, but he
said that if he had a chance to do it all over
again, he would take the same action.
My response was justified, he said. I
think people appreciate the sarcasm, and the
ability to serve instant justice.
He said he enjoyed the opportunity to represent for other restaurant owners who have suf-

fered dishonest or unfounded Yelp reviews


without any recourse of action.
I think its really important to highlight
how difficult Yelp reviews are to remove or
prove wrong, he said. We are all diners, but
not all of us are business owners, and until you
have stepped into the business owners shoes,
its unfair to log into a user name on Yelp and
write mean comments because it does hurt
people.
Xue said the phenomenon has boosted his
companys profile, and has done wonders for
the restaurant.
Our business has been booming, said
Xue. Weve been turning people away for dinner service.
