DEAL REACHED ON CALMING UKRAINE TENSIONS
FOR NOW

The installation of a new sh hoist on
Johnson Pier in Half Moon Bay Tuesday is
drawing suspicion and frustration from a
fishermens group about the San Mateo
County Harbor Districts construction
approval.
District ofcials, however, contend the
hoist installation was done properly and
according to lease guidelines though the
board president said there could have been
more communication.
If proper outreach wasnt done with other
tenants and stakeholders, its unfortunate,
said Robert Bernardo, president of the
Harbor District Board of Commissioners.
In this highly, obviously, competitive
commercial shing environment, theres
going to be some unhappy people. But
heres the thing, we have a lease for which
we have a contractual agreement with and we
have to abide by that which basically says
each tenant can have two hoists wherever
they choose, as long as they work with the
harbormaster.
District staff had assured fishermen at
Pillar Point Harbor there would be consulta-
tion with those affected by the location of
the hoist owned by a private sh buyer, said
Porter McHenry, president of the Half Moon
Bay Seafood Marketing Association, which
represents more than 20 commercial sher-
man.
They should have just asked the people
who it directly affects, their whole life is
about being able to unload our sh or our

DA says man

Family finds Jack Russell terrier
burned in backyard barbecue
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A young man accused
of brutally killing his
Jack Russell terrier while
suffering a psychotic
break was arraigned in
court Thursday and
charged with one count
of felony animal cruelty.
Ryan Gee, a 27-year-old San Mateo resi-
dent with serious ongoing mental health
problems, pleaded not guilty to allegedly
strangling his dog then using a knife to cut
up the carcass before burning it in a barbe-
cue grill Jan. 23. He had no prior criminal
record in San Mateo County and could face
up to three years incarceration, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

Higher pay was the clear demand of facul-
ty from the Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District who gathered
with signs to protest at a busy intersection
just up the street from the district ofce just
before a board meeting Thursday night.
Negotiations with the Belmont-Redwood
Shores Faculty Association, made up of cer-
ticated faculty that includes teachers, coun-
selors, psychologists, nurses and speech
and language therapists, have gone on since
2012, with teachers and other faculty ask-
ing for more money as health care and hous-
ing costs rise.
In the big picture, over the span of 18
months, negotiations havent gone well,
said Superintendent Michael Milliken, who
took the position last year. In the short
term, I feel as though weve made good
progress. Im quite optimistic. Our interest
is treating them fairly. Other districts in
the county are able to give their teachers
raises, so I can speak to that being an inter-
est of ours. From our perspective its about
coming to agreement with them with what
we can afford.
About 25 percent of the association mem-
bers have to work second jobs now to make
ends meet, which hurts their total commit-
ment to students, said association President
Angela Sveda, who teaches at Ralston
Middle School. Teachers are looking for a 4
percent raise and a benets package, she
said. The average teacher salary in the dis-
trict is $72,440, according to data from the
California Department of Education.
Were in a tough situation, Sveda said.
Weve declared this year the year of the edu-
cator. Were all interested in working
together. Im hopeful with the new super-
Teachers seek more pay

Kittens accidentally
shipped from L.A. to San Diego
SAN DIEGO A San Diego cable
company employee expecting a ship-
ment of berglass equipment got a
shock when he discovered two new-
born kittens clinging to life inside the
box.
KGTV reports Thursday that the kit-
tens are recovering after being acci-
dentally shipped by truck from the Los
Angeles area to a Cox
Communications ofce in San Diego.
Upon nding the tiny black cats, a
Cox warehouse worker called his
nephew, who happens to work for the
Humane Society in San Diego.
The kittens were so young they still
had their umbilical cords attached.
Humane Society nurse Jenny
Bonomini says its likely the mother
put her newborn babies in a safe spot
a cardboard box.
Bonomini says the kittens, named
Mouse and Wi, are happy and putting
on weight.
Man avoids $525
fine for refill at hospital
CHARLESTON, S.C. A man who
faced a $525 ne for relling an 89-
cent drink at a Veterans Affairs hospi-
tal apparently will get off with a warn-
i ng.
When Christopher Lewis of North
Charleston, S.C., refilled his drink
without paying Wednesday, a federal
police ofcer gave him a ticket. Lewis
is a construction worker and says he
never noticed the signs and has relled
his drink before without paying.
VA spokeswoman Tonya C.
Lobbestael said after reviewing what
happened at the Ralph C. Johnson
Center in Charleston, ofcials decided
a warning was sufcient.
Lobbestael says the cafeteria at the
center has signs posted in the drink
machines indicating the cost of rel l s.
Failing to pay for the rells is consid-
ered shoplifting.
Easter butter lamb
gets pardon at Buffalo market
BUFFALO, N.Y. Theres at least
one butter lamb in Buffalo that wont
be going under the knife this Easter.
Butter sculptures in the shape of a
lamb are a traditional part of Easter
meals among Buffalos large Polish-
American population. Butter lambs are
sold this time of year at western New
York delis, Polish markets and super-
markets.
On Wednesday, an elected ofcial
went to Buffalos Broadway Market to
pardon a butter lamb, much in the
way U.S. presidents issue pardons for
a turkey before Thanksgiving.
Erie County Executive Mark
Poloncarz pardoned a butter lamb from
its traditional duties on tables
throughout the Buffalo area for the
duration of Easter.
Baby dies after
being forgotten in hot car
SAN JOSE An infant has been
pronounced dead after accidentally
being left in a hot car alone for hours.
San Jose Police Sgt. Heather Randol
says the department received a report
of an unresponsive child in a vehicle
just before 7:15 p.m. Wednesday.
Investigators determined that the
infants father was supposed to drop
the infant off at a babysitters house
before going to work. Instead, Randol
says, the father parked the car on the
street and went to work while the child
was still strapped in its car seat.
Randol says no arrests have been
made pending a review of the case by
the Santa Clara County District
Attorneys Ofce.
Military shell prompted
evacuation of hundreds
SOLVANG An old but still poten-
tially explosive military shell that
was found in an alley was safely
destroyed early Thursday, ending an
evacuation that emptied hundreds of
homes and businesses in this Central
California tourist town.
A 911 caller Wednesday afternoon
sent Santa Barbara County sheriffs
deputies to Solvangs main business
district, where they found a 105mm
shell lying in trash in an alley.

President visiting Los Altos, Palo Alto in May
President Barack Obama will be returning to the Bay Area

What was intended to be a fun night
of sailing turned deadly as one person
was killed and another seriously injured
when their sailboat collided with a
channel marker buoy in the Bay near
Redwood City, authorities said
Thursday.
Police investigators continued to
search for clues into Wednesday nights
crash that caused the mast of a 42-foot-
long Catalina sailboat named Bella
to snap completely off and injure two
of four occupants onboard during a
noncompetitive race along the shores
near Redwood City, Lt. Sean Hart said.
Were not sure if they were struck
when the mast snapped off or they were
injured by the jolt of the impact from
the collision, Hart said Thursday.
The San Mateo County Coroners
ofce identied the dead victim as Yong
Sun, 39, of Burlingame. Sun and anoth-
er injured man were guests of the sail-
boats owner, said Winston Bumpus, a
commodore with the Sequoia Yacht
Club, which sponsored the race.
A U.S. Geological Survey boat that
was nearby rescued the sailboat crew
then docked at the Port of Redwood
City, Hart said. Sun was pronounced
dead at the scene, and another man was
hospitalized in serious condition with
a head injury, Hart said. The injured
mans name has not been released.
The event was the kickoff to the
yacht clubs annual Beer Can races
held Wednesday nights from April
through October, Bumpus said. The
races allow people new to sailboat rac-
ing to learn about the sport and give
experienced racers and their crews a
chance to practice. The Beer Can
name of the races is misleading,
Bumpus added, because drinking is
frowned upon and discouraged while
racing.
Alcohol does not appear to be a fac-
tor in the fatal accident and the sail-
boats owner passed a sobriety test,
Hart said.
Both Hart and Bumpus said weather
conditions also were not a factor in the
accident.
From what were gathering, it was a
great night for boating, Hart said. At
this point, it appears to be a tragic
accident.
The weekly races have been suspend-
ed indenitely to allow members time
to grieve as the yacht club also is cele-
brating its 75th anniversary, Bumpus
said.
Were devastated, Bumpus said.
Were going to just take it one day at a
time.

ORLAND With shrieks in the back-
ground, a shocked passenger struggled to
recount to an emergency dispatcher how a
FedEx tractor-trailer smashed into a tour bus
carrying high school students. In other 911
calls released Thursday, other witnesses
described explosions after the ery wreck
that left 10 people dead.
The California Highway Patrol released the
recordings as investigators returned to the
scene about 100 miles north of Sacramento
to reconstruct aspects of the crash.
Dozens of injured students escaped through
windows before the bus exploded into tower-
ing ames just before 6 p.m. April 10.
One student who escaped held back sobs in
describing on a 911 call how the FedEx truck
barreled across the median of Interstate 5 and
smashed into the bus.
Adispatcher assured the student that med-
ical help was coming and told the student to
go as far away as you can safely get when
he learned that the bus was still engulfed in
ames.
Later, the dispatcher asked, What did the
bus hit? and the student started to explain
that the truck smashed into its left side. The
dispatcher tried to refocus the student: Just
with one or two words, tell me what the bus
hit.
The bus hit a FedEx truck, the student
replied. The FedEx truck came into us.
Was it head on?
Yes, head on.
It was not clear whether the student was a
boy or girl. None of the 911 callers were
identied.
Other calls came from witnesses and near-
by residents.
Abus just exploded, said one woman.
It just exploded, said one man.
Whatevers on the freeway is on re.
The bus was carrying 44 high school stu-
dents from the Los Angeles area for a visit to
Humboldt State University on Californias
far north coast. Many stood to be the rst in
their family to attend college.
Five students and three adult chaperones
died, along with the truck and bus drivers.
As the CHP released the recordings, the
agencys investigators were reconstructing
how the bus driver might have reacted to the
sight of the big rig, which burst out of vege-
tation on the freeways median into oncom-
ing trafc, sideswiping a car before hitting
the bus.
The CHP briefly closed the stretch of
Interstate 5 where the crash happened and
drove the same model Serta 2014 bus north-
bound at about 70 mph. The driver braked so
investigators could gauge how its speed
would have dropped.
On the southbound side, a driver in the
same model 2007 Volvo truck released the
accelerator, in a similar effort to understand
how its speed might have changed.
Emergency calls capture chaos after truck, bus crash
Man robs bank in I Have Issues shirt
HAYWARD Authorities in the San
Francisco Bay Area are looking for a man
who robbed a bank wearing a T-shirt that
read I Have Issues.
Hayward Police Department Sgt. Eric
Melendez said Thursday that the suspect,
described as a white or Hispanic male in his
20s, held up the US Bank branch on
Hesperian Boulevard just before 4 p.m.
Tuesday.
Melendez says the man presented a note to
the bank teller that said he was armed and
intended to rob the bank.
No actual rearm was observed during the
crime, but the teller gave him the cash from
her drawer and the suspect immediately left.
The man is described as about 58 and
185 pounds.
In a photo released by Hayward Police
Department, the suspect is wearing a dark-
colored T-shirt with the words I Have
Issues on the front.

FRESNO Tens of thousands of spring-
run Chinook salmon are being released into
the San Joaquin River, marking a major
milestone in the federal plan to restore
native sh populations to the states sec-
ond-longest river.
The Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service released 54,000
hatchery-produced salmon into the river
from a site near Fresno on Thursday. Though
environmentalists are celebrating the
release, federal water managers say the
states drought means not all of the sh will
return to spawn.
The San Joaquin River carried the conti-
nents southernmost Chinook salmon run
until the Friant Dam was built in 1942
above Fresno to capture its water for crops.
The restoration effort is the result of a
2006 legal settlement that ended a decades-
long legal tussle between farmers, environ-
mentalists and the federal government.

SACRAMENTO Californias political
watchdog agency began considering Thursday
whether to ne two brothers for transferring
money between their campaigns while both
were running for state Assembly in 2008.
The California Fair Political Practices
Commission took the case under review after
hearing brief arguments.
Commissioners now have until May 14 to
consider whether to accept an administrative
law judges recommendation that Sen. Tom
Berryhill of Twain Harte and his brother, for-
mer Assemblyman Bill Berryhill of Ceres, be
ned for transferring $40,000 between their
legislative campaigns.
The brothers, both Republicans, deny vio-
lating campaign nance rules.

SAN FRANCISCO Workplace safety
ofcials ned a San Francisco Bay Area
commuter rail line $210,000 on Thursday
over the deaths of two track workers who
were killed by a train the ofcials said was
operated by an inexperienced driver with
inadequate supervision.
The California Division of Occupational
Safety and Health said a high-ranking manag-
er who was supposed to be instructing the
driver of the fast-moving, four-car Bay Area
Rapid Transit train was not in the cab with the
trainee when the incident occurred on Oct. 19.
Because the manager was sitting with
other BART managers in a passenger area,
he was not located in a position to closely
view the trainees actions and observe the
track before the train hit Christopher
Sheppard, 58, and Laurence Daniels, 66,
Cal/OSHA said in citing the rail agency for
willful serious safety violations.
Safety standards are designed to save
lives and they were not followed, Acting
Cal/OSHA Chief Juliann Sum said of the
trainers actions.
Sheppard, a BART engineer, and Daniels,
a rail consultant, were killed while BART
workers were on strike and regular passen-
ger service halted. The train that hit them
was on a maintenance and training run,
BARThas said.

NEW YORK The governments latest
report card on food poisoning shows a dip
in salmonella cases but an increase in ill-
nesses from bacteria in raw shellsh. The
report counts cases in only 10 states for
some of the most common causes of food-
borne illness, but is believed to be a good
indicator of national food poisoning
trends. Highlights from Thursdays report
from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention:
WHATS MAKING US SICK?
Salmonella remains at the top of the
chart, far ahead of most other foodborne
germs. Only campylobacter (camp-ee-loh-
bak-tur) a bacteria commonly linked to
raw milk and poultry comes close. Other
causes, listeria, shigella (shih-GEHL-uh)
and E. coli, trail behind.
IS FOOD POISONING GETTING WORSE?
Overall, no. Last year, there were no sig-
nicant changes in most kinds of food poi-
soning, compared to the previous three
years. The new report tallied about 20,000
illnesses and 80 deaths in the 10 states,
similar to previous years. The CDC esti-
mates that 1 in 6 Americans get sick from
contaminated food each year, though most
cases are not reported.
ANY GOOD NEWS?
Yes, for salmonella. The rate of new cases
dropped 9 percent the biggest drop in
about a decade. But ofcials are cautious
about making too much of it, since it was
compared to a time period that included a
big outbreak linked to eggs in 2010. Last
years rate is similar to what it was about
ve years ago. CDC ofcials hope new reg-
ulatory proposals, like one to prevent sal-
monella in chicken parts, will keep push-
ing rates down.
WHAT ABOUT BAD NEWS?
There was in increase in infections from
vibrio (VIB-ree-oh) bacteria found in raw
shellsh, like oysters. Last year, cases
were up 32 percent from the previous three
years and 75 percent from about ve years
ago. But the numbers remain very small
only 242 of the 20,000 illnesses recorded
in the 10 states. Climate change is warming
coastal waters in some places, and that may
be helping spread some vibrio strains to
new locations, said Dr. Robert Tauxe, a CDC
food-germ expert. The warmer the water,
the more vibrio, he said. A strain tradi-
tionally found in the Pacic Northwest, is
now showing up along the East Coast.
Tauxe said it might have been spread
through water in ships ballast tanks.
CAN YOU PREVENT FOOD POISONING?
Carefully wash and clean food, and cook
meat, poultry and eggs thoroughly. Avoid
raw milk and unpasteurized juices.
Promptly refrigerate leftovers. A govern-
ment report last year showed leafy greens
like lettuce and spinach were the leading
source of food poisoning, and produce in
general accounted for nearly half of all ill-
nesses. There were slightly more deaths
attributed to poultry than to vegetables in
the decade studied.

SACRAMENTO Alate surge of sign-ups
pushed Californias health insurance
exchange nearly 100,000 enrollees beyond
the original projections of the Obama admin-
istration, state ofcials announced Thursday.
Nearly 1.4 million Californians selected a
private policy through the states exchange
by Tuesdays open enrollment extension, and
88 percent were eligible for subsidies to
reduce their monthly premiums. The
announcement came the same day President
Barack Obama said 8 million people across
the nation had signed up through exchanges,
1 million more than initially projected.
That is a huge number, said Covered
California Executive Director Peter Lee,
announcing state enrollment numbers.
Were proud that those Californians are part
of history, part of a new era where
Californians and Americans have health care
as a right and not a privilege.
Among the questions going forward are
whether the newly purchased insurance poli-
cies will meet consumers expectations and
whether the mix of enrollees will be sufcient
to satisfy insurance companies that are par-
ticipating in the exchange.
Insurers said they needed strong sign-ups
from younger and healthier people to balance
out the older and sicker consumers who sign
up under the Affordable Care Act. Older people
generally need more health care services and
are more costly to insure.
Insurance industry experts say about 40
percent of enrollees should be between 18-
and 34-years-old to ensure plans balance
nancially. The data released by Covered
California show that 29 percent of individual
enrollees were in that demographic, a group
that comprises about 25 percent of
Californias total population.
We still need to work on getting more
young and healthy consumers in the
exchange to balance out the cost of insuring
older and less healthy consumers, said state
Sen. Norma Torres, D-Pomona, in a state-
ment Thursday. Latinos are the youngest
and healthiest population in the state.?
Signing up more of them in the next enroll-
ment period is critical to keeping rates
affordable.
Covered California extended open enroll-
ment for two weeks beyond the original
March 31 deadline because its computer sys-
tem and call centers could not handle the
crush of people rushing to sign up for health
coverage at the last minute.
California health care sign-ups exceed projections

LOS ANGELES Astronomers have dis-
covered what they say is the most Earth-like
planet yet detected a distant, rocky world
thats similar in size to our own and exists
in the Goldilocks zone where its not too
hot and not too cold for life.
The find, announced Thursday, excited
planet hunters who have been scouring the
Milky Way galaxy for years for potentially
habitable places outside our solar system.
This is the best case for a habitable plan-
et yet found. The results are absolutely rock
solid, University of California, Berkeley
astronomer Geoff Marcy, who had no role in
the discovery, said in an email.
The planet was detected by NASAs orbit-
ing Kepler telescope, which studies the
heavens for subtle changes in brightness
that indicate an orbiting planet is crossing
in front of a star. From those changes, sci-
entists can calculate a planets size and
make certain inferences about its makeup.
The newfound object, dubbed Kepler-
186f, circles a red dwarf star 500 light-years
from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. A
light-year is almost 6 trillion miles.
The planet is about 10 percent larger than
Earth and may very well have liquid water
a key ingredient for life on its surface,
scientists said. That is because it resides at
the outer edge of the habitable temperature
zone around its star the sweet spot where
lakes, rivers or oceans can exist without
freezing solid or boiling away.
The nd is special because we already
know that a planet of this size and in the
habitable zone is capable of supporting life
as we know it, lead researcher Elisa
Quintana of NASAs Ames Research Center
said at a news conference.
The discovery was detailed in Fridays
issue of the journal Science. It was based on
observations that were made before the
Kepler telescope was crippled by a mechan-
ical failure last year.

WASHINGTON The lawyer who argued
before the Supreme Court in favor of uphold-
ing Californias ban on gay marriage learned
while he was handling the case that one of
his children is gay and now is helping her
plan her wedding with another woman.
Attorney Charles Cooper says his view of
same-sex marriage is evolving after having
argued in court that gay unions could under-
mine marriages between a man and a woman.
The revelation is an unexpected foot-
note in the years-long debate over
Proposition 8, the California measure
struck down by the
Supreme Court last year.
It is also offers a
glimpse, through the
eyes of one family, of
the countrys rapidly
shi ft i ng opi ni ons of
gay marriage, with most
public polls now show-
ing majorities in favor
of allowing the unions.
Cooper learned that his stepdaughter
Ashley was gay as the Proposition 8 case
wound its way through appellate court,
according to a forthcoming book about the
lengthy legal battle.
Chelsea Clinton expecting first child
WASHINGTON Chelsea Clinton says
she and her husband are expecting their rst
child later this year.
The daughter of former President Bill
Clinton and former Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton announced at a
Clinton Foundation event in New York that
she and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are
very excited to be having their rst child
later this year.
The former rst lady says shes really
excited about becoming a grandmother and
it makes the work of empowering future gen-
erations even more
important.
The 34-year-old vice
chairman of her familys
foundation made the
announcement at the end
of an event on empower-
ing young women.
Chelsea Clinton said
last year in a magazine
interview that she hoped
2014 would be the year of the baby.

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
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

VIENNA Iran has converted three quar-
ters of a nuclear stockpile that it could have
turned quickly into weapons-grade uranium
into less volatile forms and is well on the
way toward transforming the rest, the U.N.
atomic agency reported Thursday.
The development agreed to by Iran
under a nuclear deal it struck late last year
with six world powers leaves Tehran with
substantially less of the 20-percent
enriched uranium that it would need for a
nuclear warhead.
Iran denies any interest in atomic arms.
But it agreed to some nuclear concessions in
exchange for a partial lifting of sanctions
crippling its economy under the deal, which
took effect in January.
Uranium at 20 percent is only a technical
step away from weapons-grade material. By
the time the agreement was reached late last
year, Iran had amassed nearly 200 kilograms
(440 pounds). With further enrichment, that
would have yielded almost enough weapons-
grade uranium for one atomic weapon a
threshold that Israel had vowed to prevent
Iran from reaching by any means possible.
Under the agreement, Iran agreed to stop
enriching to grades beyond 5 percent, the
level most commonly used to power reac-
tors. It also committed to neutralizing all its
20-percent stockpile half by diluting to a
grade that is less proliferation-prone and
the rest by conversion to oxide used for
reactor fuel.
In line with information given to the
Associated Press by diplomats earlier this
week, the U.N.s International Atomic
Energy Agency conrmed Thursday that Iran
had completed the dilution process.
The condential IAEA report obtained by
the AP also said conversion was well under-
way, with over 50 kilograms (110 pounds)
of the 20-percent material rendered into
oxide.
Iran has until July to fulll all of its com-
mitments under the deal. But it has to show
progress in exchange for sanctions relief,
and it is eager to get its hand on the next
tranche of some $4.2 billion of oil revenue
funds that were frozen under international
sanctions meant to force it into nuclear
compromise.
It already has received more than half of
that amount in exchange for step-by-step
implementation of the agreement and the
U.S. State Department announced Thursday
that with the IAEA conrming that dilu-
tion was completed another $450 mil-
lion installment was being released.
Up to now, all sides have kept the com-
mitments they signed on to, State
Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told
reporters in Washington.
The November deal between Iran and the
six the United States, Russia, China,
Britain, France and Germany is meant to
lead to a comprehensive deal placing long-
term caps on Irans enrichment program and
other atomic activities in exchange for full
sanctions relief. The two sides hope to reach
agreement by July but can extend negotia-
tions if both agree to do so.
Beyond its commitments to neutralize its
20-percent uranium stock, the IAEA report
said that Iran also was complying with other
obligations under the six-month interim
plan, which restricts Tehran from expanding
any activities that could be turned toward
making a nuclear weapon.
U.N. says Iran cuts stockpile
closest to nuke-arms grade
OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Las Vegas Review-Journal
O
n the afternoon of April 1,
President Barack Obama pulled out
the pom-poms and assumed the
role of cheer captain at the White House
Rose Garden to celebrate the great
Obamacare victory. The Affordable Care Act
had reached its purported goal of 7 million
sign-ups, and by the March 31 deadline, no
less.
Not 7 million paid consumers. Not 7 mil-
lion who were previously uninsured, which
we were told was the primary objective of
the law. Just 7 million people who at least
chose a plan via healthcare.gov or the state
exchanges.
It was tting that this pep rally was held
on April Fools Day.
The Obama administration continues to
demonstrate an extreme lack of transparen-
cy on the presidents signature legislation,
particularly with regard to paid enrollment
and the number of sign-ups who were previ-
ously uninsured.
The sad truth about Obamacare: It largely
has resulted in a churning of the insured.
The law forced the cancellation of coverage
for millions of people, who were then
forced to buy a new, more expensive,
Obamacare-compliant policy. An extensive
study released Tuesday by Rand Corp. backs
that up, estimating that only about one-
third of exchange sign-ups were previously
uninsured.
The Rand study also estimates that,
through March 28, 3.9 million people were
covered through the federal and state
Obamacare exchanges. Thats not exactly
7.1 million. Granted, the study doesnt
include a deadline surge of enrollees, but if
it took from Oct. 1 until March 28 to get
3.9 million sign-ups, it stands to reason
that there is no way an additional 3.2 mil-
lion signed up between March 28 and
March 31.
As for paid enrollees, Forbes.coms Avi k
Roy used the Rand study and a report last
month from management consulting rm
McKinsey to determine that 76 percent of
those who have paid their rst months
premium were previously insured, while
just 24 percent were previously uninsured.
Aseparate Forbes report estimates that 15
to 20 percent of enrollees havent paid. Its
safe to assume that many Americans who
visited an exchange and selected a plan left
it in their online shopping cart with no
intention of ever purchasing it because the
premiums, deductibles and other out-of-
pocket costs were astronomical.
This was not what was promised. As Roy
rightly notes, the Congressional Budget
Ofce, in its original estimates, predicted
that the vast majority of those eligible for
subsidies on the exchanges would be previ-
ously uninsured individuals. Instead, the
vast majority are previously insured peo-
ple. The only notable achievement of
Obamacare thus far is the expansion of
Medicaid (5.9 million added, per Rand),
which could have been accomplished with-
out the law.
For Americans who had become uninsur-
able because of disease or a debilitating
condition, Obamacare is working. Now
they can get health insurance at a reason-
able price. But Congress could have helped
these people obtain coverage without ruin-
ing health care for everybody else.
Yet the celebration goes on. With the
dubious sign-up goal of 7 million reached,
President Obama immediately latched onto
the idea that vindication is here, debate is
over and repeal is unworthy. The reality is
that the Obama administration has made
health insurance dramatically more expen-
sive while reducing choice and not substan-
tially reducing the number of uninsured.
Thats worth repeal right there. No fooling.
Burlingame Avenue
Editor,
Avery short walk down Burlingame
Avenue is all it takes for one to wonder
who is in charge of upkeep and beautifica-
tion of our most important city project.
As Mike Reitsma noted in a prior letter,
and many friends of mine concur, the
recently planted zelkova trees are truly
unattractive. Most of the other plants in
pots and along the street are simply
unimaginative. One question that comes
to mind is if you are going to spend more
than $16 million for a finely designed
street, why not take advantage to provide
beautiful, even spectacular landscaping,
which could be one of the least expensive
and potentially eye-catching parts of the
whole project? Besides, California weath-
er is outstanding and permits an extraordi-
nary variety of beautiful and colorful veg-
etation. I agree it will be much better to
correct this mistake now than later as eye-
sores do not easily go away.
Secondly, it is sad to see the lack of
cleanliness of the avenue even in its pre-
inaugural stage. Unfortunately, the light
coloring of the tiles makes the grime, cof-
fee splashes, cigarette butts, skid marks
and occasional graffiti even more appar-
ent. It is not clear who is in charge of
keeping Burlingame Avenue clean. If it is
the shopkeepers, then the city needs to
start asking for compliance. If the city is
going to be responsible then there needs
to be some appropriate planning, rule set-
ting, enforcement and accountability. And
we should not forget that it behooves all
the citizens to be a bit more careful and
considerate in keeping what we are all
paying for in an attractive condition.

Response to letter Ignore this art
Editor,
Im astonished by the petty, snide com-
ments of letter writer Mr. Emanuel, about
the way San Carlans treat the exuberant,
stick-figure sculpture in the mini park
on Laurel Street in the April 14 edition of
the Daily Journal! Saying [T]his artwork
has been constantly disrespected ...
trashed by the public, Id guess he does-
nt get that dressing the delightfully
light-hearted figure in Giants and Niners
T-shirts, flying balloons to celebrate a
teams accomplishments, dressing it for
graduation, leaving personal notes and
hanging a pinata for Chinese New Year
simply enhance the citys embrace of the
sculpture.
It isnt boring, dull, controversial or
ugly; its simply fun. The sculpture and
decorating the sculpture expresses a
charming attitude, a personality, that is a
part of San Carlos, not found in any other
city on the Peninsula. I applaud the Parks
and Recreation Department for allowing
the sculpture to be so thoughtfully and
charmingly adorned.

In support of art
Editor,
Dorothy Dimitres great column, Lest
we forget (in the April 16 edition of the
Daily Journal), reminds me of the specula-
tion in the aftermath of World War II: that
history may have taken a different and far
less destructive course if only Hitler had
been a more successful artist, and some-
one kind enough to buy his paintings.
Now, if only George W. Bush had taken
up painting earlier in life! With so many
Republicans ready to buy anything the
Bushes cooked up, he might have made a
killing in the art world instead.

Unsung hero
I
n 2009, Justin Raisner became the
Carlmont High School journalism
advisor. No big deal right? Aside from
the fact that there was no real journalism
program at the school and his arrival came
after the schools newspaper was suspended
by the administration for inappropriate con-
tent.
Before then, the jour-
nalism program was not
a class, but rather a club
and its interested and
enthusiastic writers and
editors had to make do
without faculty advise-
ment. Their goals were
good, but they were stu-
dents and, after an article
was printed that was
questionable in content, the newspaper was
suspended. The San Francisco Peninsula
Press Club, a coalition of media profession-
als, got involved and its board, of which I
am a member, questioned why the school
was without a newspaper advisor in the rst
place. Pat Gemma, then superintendent of
the Sequoia Union High School District,
made the commitment to provide the nanc-
ing for an advisor to solidify the program
into a class.
Five years after Raisners arrival, the
Carlmont High School journalism program
was recognized with a Pacemaker Award by
the National Scholastic Press Association
during the Spring 2014 National High
School Journalism Convention in San
Diego. The award was for the programs
website Scot Scoop News, which is written
by students of all grade levels while the
upper classes focus on print. Scot Scoop
News started in 2010 and proves that keep-
ing up with technology is an important
aspect of journalism. Most student publica-
tions have a Web component that, while
unthinkable 20 years ago, provides another
set of challenges in the classroom when
posting immediate news. But Scot Scoop
News is obviously doing it well enough to
be recognized nationally and while the cred-
it should go to the students, it wouldnt be
able to without the districts commitment to
an advisor and the hard work that advisor
puts in every day.
Journalism advisors often work behind
the scenes and without credit, but its not
easy work. There is youth and energy to cor-
ral, controversies with which to contend and
politics between faculty and administration.
The best advisors set the foundation of
responsibility, communication and respect
and allow students to nd where their cre-
ativity takes them.
So credit should go to Raisner for taking a
moribund program, injecting it with his
own passion and directing the energy in the
right place. The rewards may come in the
form of recognition and awards, but they
also come in witnessing those aha moments
in young minds when they achieve some-
thing new and exciting through proper guid-
ance.
People may say that journalism is a dying
industry, but its not. And to be honest, Im
sick of hearing it from people who dont see
what amazing things are coming out from
this next generation. There has never been
more interest in the eld, but that eld is
rapidly changing through advances in tech-
nology. There is now the ability to tell new
stories in entirely new ways. And thats a
good thing.
As many of our schools move toward
project-based learning, I highly recommend
throwing journalism into that mix. Where
else can students practice teamwork and
problem-solving while also learning to
write effectively, make a point and design a
presentation that will make people want to
read more? Journalism teaches the impor-
tance of community, compassion, creativity
and collaboration. It also needs people like
Raisner at the academic level to harness
youthful energy and ideas into something
with which the entire community can be
proud. And hes not one to sing his own
praises, so thats why I do so now.

Big movers

Corporate earnings pushed U.S.
stocks mostly higher on Thursday, but
it wasnt an easy ride up.
The stock market appeared set in the
morning for its fourth consecutive
positive open, but immediately turned
negative as investors sold shares in
Google and IBM. The market heavy-
weights reported disappointing earn-
ings late Wednesday. Earnings from
toy maker Mattel and insurer
UnitedHealth also dragged down
stocks.
But by midmorning, the market
started to push higher as traders
cheered upbeat results from Morgan
Stanley, General Electric and PepsiCo.
We were expecting this earnings
season to be pretty volatile, and its
proven to be true so far, in that were
seeing some differences in the
results, said Paul Mangus, head of
equity research and strategy for Wells
Fargo Private Bank.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose two points, or 0.1 percent, to
close at 1,864.85. Seven of the 10
industry sectors in the S&P 500
gained, led by energy stocks. The
Nasdaq added nine points, or 0.2 per-
cent, to nish at 4,095.52. The Dow
Jones industrial average, however, fell
16 points, or 0.1 percent, to close at
16,408.54, hurt by the big drop in
IBM.
U.S. stock markets will be closed in
observance of Good Friday.
Bond prices fell, pushing up the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note to
2.72 percent from 2.63 percent late
Wednesday.
After selling off Internet and
biotechnology companies last week
on concerns the stocks were overval-
ued, investors turned their attention
this week to how companies business-
es are performing. Investors have low-
ered their expectations for earnings
following severe cold in much of the
country this winter. That harsh weath-
er weighed on everything from auto
and home sales to hiring.
Investors are now eager to hear what
CEOs have to say about business
prospects going ahead.
Thursdays trading reected buying
and selling on earnings news, rather
than a broader market theme taking
hold, Mangus said.
Going into this quarter, expecta-
tions are low, so if you disappoint on
low expectations youre likely to be
penalized, he said. However, they
also present the opportunity for some
signicant beats because the estimates
are that low.
Among companies whose earnings
pleasantly surprised investors was
General Electric, which described the
economic situation as positive and
said its industrial division was doing
well. Another positive signal came
from PepsiCo, which reported a higher
prot after slashing costs and selling
more snacks.
GE gained 44 cents, or 1.7 percent,
to close at $26.56, while PepsiCo
added 78 cents, or about 1 percent, to
nish at $85.55.
IBM, meanwhile, struggled with a
decline in its hardware business in the
latest quarter. Its stock slid $6.39, or
3.3 percent, to $190.01.
UnitedHealth Group said its income
slid 8 percent in the rst quarter as fees
and funding cuts from the health care
overhaul dented its performance.
UnitedHealth fell $2.41, or 3.1 per-
cent, to $75.78.
Despite the big-name decliners, the
latest wave of quarterly results has
been mostly positive, said John Fox,
director of research at Fenimore Asset
Management.
The overall read across ve or 10 or
15 earnings reports is positive, Fox
said, noting that many companies
have reaffirmed their earnings fore-
casts for the year. The fundamental
underpinnings are good, and Im not
hearing anything from management
that changes that.
Market ends higher as earnings pour in
By Bree Fowler
WASHINGTON Secret Service investi-
gators say they are close to gaining a full
understanding of the methods hackers used
to breach Targets computer systems last
December.
But the agency says it could take years to
identify the criminals who stole some 40
million debit and credit card numbers of
Target shoppers and other personal infor-
mation from as many as 70 million people
in the pre-Christmas breach.
And it may take even longer to bring
the offenders to justice. The federal inves-
tigation is complicated by the interna-
tional nature of high-profile digital
heists. The perpetrators are likely located
overseas, which makes extradition and
prosecution difficult. As a result, the
Secret Service is focused on monitoring
the online activities of its suspects, in
hopes that theyll be able to arrest them
at an opportune moment, says Ari
Baranoff, an assistant special agent in
charge with the Secret Services criminal
investigative division.
We take a lot of pride in having a lot of
patience, Baranoff said during a rare sit-
down interview with the Associated Press
at the agencys headquarters in
Washington. There are individuals weve
apprehended that weve known about for
10 years and were very comfortable indict-
ing these individuals, sitting back and
waiting patiently until the opportunity
arrives that we can apprehend them.
Target says it cant yet estimate what the
breach will cost the company, but some
analysts put it at close to half a billion
dollars. The total cost of the breach
which also would include losses incurred
by banks, consumers and others could
easily reach into the billions of dollars.
Target, which is in the midst of its
own investigation, has said very little
about how the breach happened, except
that it believes the thieves gained entry
to its systems by infiltrating comput-
ers owned by one of i t s vendors,
thought to be a Pittsburgh-area heating
and refrigeration business.
Baranoff couldnt speak specifically
about the federal investigation into the
Target breach, since the case is ongoing,
but he talked candidly about the growing
threat of large-scale, financially motivated
cybercrimes and the Secret Services
efforts to stop them.
Behind every major breach, theres usu-
ally a team of highly specialized cyber-
criminals who mainly know each other
through online nicknames and reputa-
tions. Most arent motivated by politics,
just greed, Baranoff says.
If the hackers do invest in anything, its
their own operations. An increasing num-
ber are building their own server farms,
sometimes leasing space to other crimi-
nals, making it harder for law enforcement
to track them down.
Further complicating matters, Baranoff
says the vast majority of high-level cyber-
criminals tend to be Russian speakers
based in former Soviet and Eastern
European countries, which largely puts
them out of the reach of U.S. authorities.
Cyber cops: Target hackers
may take years to uncover

NEW YORK Facebook users in the
U.S. will soon be able to see which of
their friends are in close proximity using a
new feature the company is launching on
Thursday.
Called Nearby Friends, the optional
tool will only be available to people who
choose to turn it on. The feature uses your
smartphones GPS system to tell your
Facebook friends you are nearby pro-
vided they have the feature turned on.
Rather than share your exact location, it
will only show that you are nearby, say,
within half a mile.
If you like, you can manually share a
more precise location with a specific
friend youd like to meet up with. Friends
can see where youre located in a particular
park, airport or city block. By default,
your exact location will only be shared for
an hour, although you can change this.
The Nearby Friends feature will be turned
off by default, so people shouldnt expect
to broadcast their location unknowingly
to their Facebook friends and acquaintanc-
es. It also wont be available to users under
18, said Andrea Vaccari, product manager
at Facebook who has been working on
Nearby Friends for the past two years. He
says the tool makes it easy to join your
friends in the real world. If you want to.
The feature has a lot of built-in precau-
tions. Facebook, whose motto has long
been move fast and break things, is try-
ing a different approach with Nearby
Friends as it tries to avoid privacy ascos
that often bubble up when it makes changes
to its service. The new motto, ship love,
is evident in the deliberate, cautious rollout
of Nearby Friends, says Jules Polonetsky,
director of the Future of Privacy Forum, an
industry-backed think tank in Washington
whos advised Facebook on privacy issues
including the latest feature.
He thinks Facebook is showing a deep-
er appreciation that with a billion users,
any change needs to be implemented in a
way that doesnt surprise the audience.
Especially when it comes to privacy, espe-
cially when it comes to location-sharing.
Once you start bringing this to a mass
audience, you need to be cautious,
Polonetsky said. So inadvertent over-
sharing is not possible.
Of course, all the safeguards and slow
rollout mean that most users wont have
the feature available right away on
Thursday but rather in the coming weeks
and months. Initially it will go to people
who are likely to appreciate it, Vaccari
says, such as people who have checked
in to various restaurants, bars or other
locations using Facebook.
Facebook rolls out location-sharing feature
Wal-Mart jumps into
the money transfer biz, loudly
NEWYORK Wal-Mart is delving deep-
er into nancial services at its stores and
shaking up the money transfer business.
The worlds largest retailer introduced a
new money transfer service Thursday that it
says will cut fees for its low-income cus-
tomers by up to 50 percent compared with
similar services elsewhere. The Walmart-2-
Walmart service is being rolled out in part-
nership with Ria Money Transfer, a sub-
sidiary of Euronet Worldwide Inc.
Shares of MoneyGram and Western Union
plunged almost immediately Thursday after
the announcement.
The service, which will be available start-
ing April 24, allows its customers to trans-
fer up to $900 to and from more than 4,000
Wal-Mart stores in the U.S.
Its a huge footprint that could reshape
that industry and is likely to set off a pric-
ing battle.
Customers can transfer up to $50 for a
$4.50 service fee and up to $900 for $9.50.
Comparable services elsewhere cost up to
$70 when transferring less than $1,000,
according to Wal-Mart.
Western Union on its website puts the
price of transferring $900 in New York
between $20, if using a bank account, to
$85 if using a credit or debit card.
Weak Barbie sales
weigh on Mattel 1Q
EL SEGUNDO Toy maker Mattel says
weak sales of Barbie and markdowns to clear
out excess inventory left over from a slug-
gish holiday season led to an unexpected
rst-quarter loss.
Its shares fell almost 5 percent in premar-
ket trading.
Toy makers are facing a weak environ-
ment globally due to the uncertain economy
and popularity of electronic gadgets. The
rst quarter is the seasonally smallest for
toy makers, coming after the key holiday
quarter which can account for up to 40 per-
cent of revenue.
In addition, Mattel Inc. has been strug-
gling with weakness in core brands like
Barbie, which had a 14 percent drop in
sales, and Fisher-Price, down 6 percent.
Revenues were consistent with our
expectations as we worked through inven-
tories in a challenging global retail envi-
ronment, said CEO Bryan G. Stockton.

SAN JOSE Tomas Hertl and Raf Torres
both scored in their rst game together as
teammates and the San Jose Sharks jumped
on top of Jonathan Quick and the rival Los
Angeles Kings with a 6-3 victory in their
playoff opener Thursday night.
Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Marc-
Edouard Vlasic also scored for the Sharks,
who managed just 10 goals against Quick in
losing a seven-game series to Los Angeles
in the second round last year. Antti Niemi
made 31 saves.
Quick allowed three goals in the rst peri-
od for the rst time in his playoff career,
including two in the nal minute as the
Kings were completely outclassed.
Game 2 is Sunday in San Jose.
Quick was replaced by Martin Jones after
allowing ve goals on 28 shots in two peri-
ods and only watched as the Kings showed
life in the third period with goals from Jake
Muzzin, Slava Voynov and Trevor Lewis.
But Brent Burns sealed it with an empty-net
goal as the home team won for the 17th time
in the past 18 meetings between these teams.
The Sharks were the healthiest they have
been all season with Torres back after miss-
ing all but ve games in the regular season
and Hertl playing for just the third time since
Los Angeles captain Dustin Brown injured
him with an illegal knee-on-knee hit on Dec.
19 in a play that still riles the Sharks.
They got payback in the best way possi-
ble with a dominating victory that showed
off their much-improved depth when they
are healthy. They got goals from all four
lines and their defense to beat the Kings by
more than one in their most lopsided win
over the Kings since Nov. 7, 2011.
The game had even added meaning for Hertl
and Torres. Hertl talked before the series of
his dislike for the Kings and said this series
would be personal because of the injury.
Torres was suspended for the nal six
games of last years series for a hit to the
head of Jarret Stoll in a punishment the
Sharks and Torres felt was unjust.

Good luck to opposing hitters when Matt
Blais gets on a roll. And right now, the Serra
right-hander is on quite a roll.
Locking up with Terra Nova left-hander
Jared Milch, Blais led the Padres to a 6-0
win over Terra Nova Wednesday in San
Mateo, needing just 92 pitches to re a com-
plete-game shutout. It was Blais fourth con-
secutive complete-game of the season.
With the win, Blais improves to 6-2.
Milch surrendered two runs over five
innings of work to take the loss. The
sophomores record falls to 3-3.
Despite striking out eight, Blais was keen
to rely on his defense by pitching to con-
tact.
Thats the way, for me, to try to stay in
the game longer is just pitch to contact, use
your defense, Blais said. Today we had
some good plays so, a lot of help from
the guys in the eld and then for the strike-
outs just made my pitches.
The Padres defense responded with some
outstanding play, including what was
arguable the play of the year on an all-out
diving gem from shortstop Calvin Riley.
Riley made the dazzling play to end the
third inning. The junior ranged far to his
right on a bolt off the bat of Terra Nova
cleanup hitter Ray Falk. With a fully extend-
ed dive to his backhand, Riley nabbed the
liner, popped to his feet and made a one-hop
throw to rst which rst baseman Patrick
ORegan scooped out of the dirt to complete
the Wizard of Oz-esque gem.
I think [Riley] was completely off the
ground when he caught it, Blais said. He
popped up and made a good throw to rst. It
was good. It was a big momentum swing for
us.
The Serra offense responded by breaking a
scoreless tie in the bottom of the third.
Nolan Dempsey sparked the rally with a
line-drive single to center. With one out,
Angelo Bortolin executed a hit-and-run by
shooting a single to right, moving
Dempsey to third. Neil Sterling followed

OAKLAND Forget the Showtime
Lakers or the Sacramento Kings of past
decades.
Theres a ashy brand of basketball being
played by a new pair of rising California
rivals. The alley-oops in Lob City, the deep
3-pointers by the Splash Brothers and the
overall bitterness between the Los Angeles
Clippers and Golden State Warriors should
make for one of the most
entertaining matchups in
the rst round of the NBA
playoffs.
As far as a series, its a
10, said former New
York Knicks coach Jeff
Van Gundy, who will have
a front row seat on the
ABC broadcasting team
for Game 1 in Los
Angeles on Saturday.
Whether the high-
octane style and 3-point
prowess both teams play
with can carry either to a
championship this
year or in the future
remains to be seen.
Those Kings teams,
dubbed The Greatest
Show on Court on a
2001 Sports Illustrated
cover, never even made the NBA Finals.
Neither did the high-scoring Phoenix Suns
with two-time MVPSteve Nash at the point.
The Run TMC Warriors under the direction
of Don Nelson never reached the conference
nals.
In an age where the pace typically slows
down in the playoffs and offenses get
bunched in half-court sets, the Clippers and
Warriors are trying to speed it up and spread
it out.

Burlingame softball coach Doug
McKeever gured his team would experience
some growing pains this season, with seven
sophomores and a freshman starting.
Capuchino, meanwhile, has struggled to
score runs this season, but has managed to
win more than it has lost.
Both teams lived up to their reputations
when they hooked up in Burlingame
Thursday. Capuchino scored an unearned run
in the top of the rst inning and nursed that
lead to the top of the seventh when the
Mustangs nally got some breathing room,
scoring three times on their way to a 4-0
win.
Capuchino (4-3 PAL Bay, 11-9 overall)
scored its runs on just ve hits, which has
been a recurring theme this season for the
Mustangs. In fact, Burlingame starting
pitcher Raine Armanino was working on a
no-hitter through four innings despite
trailing 1-0 before Caps Miki Solorzano
broke it with a bloop single to right to lead
off the fth inning. All ve of the Mustangs
hits came in the nal three innings.
We do a lot with a little. I cant gure it
out, but its killing me, said Capuchino
coach Todd Grammatico. Weve done that a
lot this year.
Burlingame (0-6, 4-12) had its chances,
but the Panthers were 0 for 6 with runners in
scoring position, twice loading the bases,
but came up empty each time.
Were just so young, said Burlingame
coach Doug McKeever. You see it in at-
bats, when [the situation] gets a little
tighter. Thats part of being young.

Mercy-Burlingame pitcher Alexis Luciano
pitched a perfect game as the Crusaders
crushed the Skippers in San Francisco
Wednesday afternoon.
Luciano, a freshman, retired 15 batters in
a row as the game was called after ve
innings because of the 10-run mercy rule.
With Luciano taking care of business in
the circle, her teammates made her job a lot
easier with a big day at the plate. Sabrina
Miller had three hits, including a triple, and
drove in ve runs. Erin Dougherty added a
pair of doubles and scored twice, while
Deidre Bonitz added two hits and two runs
scored. Kesaia Langi and Katie Cecil also
nished with a pair of hits each.

The Tigers hung with the Monarchs, but
could not pull out the win.
Mitty led 5-0 before Notre Dame (6-3
WCAL, 14-6 overall) scored its run in the
top of the seventh inning.
Pitcher Lindsay Mifsud did not pitch poor-
l y, but took the loss nonetheless, allowing
ve runs on seven hits.

Burlingame 6, Mills 1
The Panthers dealt a serious blow to the
Vikings playoff chances with a convincing
win Thursday.
Normally one of the top teams in the
league, the victory was just the second of
the year in PAL Bay Division play for the
Panthers. With two matches left in the regu-
lar season, fifth-place Mills needs to
leapfrog fourth-place Woodside to secure a
spot in the four-team PAL playoff to deter-
mine the leagues second automatic qualier
into the Central Coast Section tournament.
Burlingame singles players Scott Taggart
and Matt Miller, along with doubles teams
Wilson Yu and Akhil Patel, and Alec
Bocarius and Peter Mueller, all won in
straight sets, which was enough to secure
the team victory for Burlingame (3-9 PAL
Bay, 4-9 overall). Bryan Anderson and
Michael Resnick both needed three set to
get wins as well for Burlingame.
The No. 1 doubles team of Mark Hattari
and Alex Ma pulled out the only win for
Mills (4-8), needing three sets to accom-
plish it.
Aragon 7, Hillsdale 0
The Dons stayed in contention for the top
seed in the PAL playoffs with an easy win
over the Knights Thursday.
The win moved Aragon (8-3 PALBay) into
a tie with Carlmont for second place in the
PAL Bay Division standings. The second-,
third- and fourth-place nishers from the
Bay, along with the Ocean Division cham-
pion, qualify for the post-season tourna-
ment. Menlo-Atherton will win the Bay
Division title and get an automatic bid into
the CCS tournament, barring a collapse
over the nal two weeks of the regular sea-
son.
Six of Aragons seven wins Thursday came
in straight sets. Devon Hughes and
Jonathon Liu both only lost one game at
No. 1 and No. 3 singles, respectively, while
No. 2 and No. 4 singles players Isaac Wang
and Mathew Fowler dropped only two
games.
Kelvin Yang and Raayan Mohtashemi, at
No. 2 doubles, won 6-1, 6-2, while the No.
3 doubles team of Fabio Gallardo and
William Miyahira won 6-2, 6-3.
The best match of the day came at No. 1
doubles when Travis Kwee and Landers
Ngrichemat rallied from a set down to win in
three sets including a second-set
tiebreaker.

South City 5, Crystal Springs 1
The Warriors stayed unbeaten in PAL Lake
Division with a win over the Gryphons at
Sea Cloud Park in Foster City Thursday.
Jesus Jimenez pitched a complete game in
picking up the victory for South City (9-0
PAL Lake, 12-9 overall). He allowed one run
on six hits, with four strikeouts against just
one walk.
Mauricio Babutas drove the Warriors
offense, driving in three runs. Carlos Solis
and Tyler Keahi each had an RBI for South
City as well.
Menlo School 16, Olympian 2
The Knights cruised to a consolation-
bracket victory in the San Diego Lions Club
Tournament Thursday afternoon in a game
that was limited to ve innings because of
the 10-run mercy rule.
Junior Garrett Matsuda and sophomore
Antonio Lopez combined to throw a ve-
hitter for Menlo (13-6), with Lopez earning
the victory to improve to 3-0 on the season.
Olympian took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of
the rst inning, but Menlo came back with
three in the top of the second. The Knights
added one more in the third before breaking
the game open with ve runs in the fourth
and seven more in the fth.
Maclan Badger paced the Knights offense
with three RBIs. Graham Stratford added
three hits for Menlo as well.
Carlmont 7, Edison 4
The Scots nished up the 45th annual
Fresno Easter Classic tournament with a win
over Edison Wednesday.
Aaron Albaum kept his hot hitting going
with a home run in the bottom of the rst
inning and later added a double. Albaum n-
ished the four-game tournament with a .625
batting average, coming up with 10 hits in
16 at-bats.
Matt Seubert also had a big day at the
plate, belting a pair of doubles and driving
in a run. Alex Smith provided some insur-
ance with a two-run knock in a three-run
fth for Carlmont (10-9-1).
Joe Pratt picked up the win on the mound,
working six innings. Spencer Stewart
worked a 1-2-3 seventh to earn the save.

San Jose Giants Military
Day a heartfelt success
COURTESY OF THE SAN JOSE GIANTS
Joseph Coggins, a SanMateo resident,was part of a baseball card set given out by the SanJose
Giants to honor veterans. Coggins, who fought in World War II,was one of the rst troops to
enter Germany with the 1st Infantry Division. He also received a Bronze Star. Coggins is a
longtime SanFrancisco Giants fan and has seen them play in both New York and SanFrancisco.

The San Jose Giants honored Bay Area vet-
erans of World War II and the Korean War
with Salute to the Military Day Sunday at
Municipal Stadium.
Thirty-ve veterans were honored with a
special-edition set of baseball cards, with a
card complete with photographs and bios for
each of them. The Giants received over 100
nominations for potential honorees through
their website. The number of honorees was
originally supposed to be 25, but there were
so many inspiring submissions, the number
was increased to 36.
San Jose Chief Marketing Ofcer Juliana
Paoli organized the event, and said seeing
the looks on the faces and the tears in the
eyes of the veterans and their family mem-
bers in attendance are the reason she got into
the business.
There were so many World War II veterans

with an RBI single to left. Then with two outs,

Felix Aberouette reached on an ineld error to
score Bortolin, giving Serra a 2-0 lead.
With Serras regular shortstop Sean Watkins
relegated to designated hitter due to an injured
bicep, Riley was penciled into the lineup for
just his fourth start of the year. In addition to
his third-inning gem, Riley teamed with sec-
ond baseman Dempsey in the sixth to again
rob Falk. This time it was a sweet corral-job
by Dempsey to nab a hot smash. The senior
fed Riley for a 4-6-3 twin killing.
It was a key play as Serra led just 2-0 at the
time. But in the bottom of the frame, the
Padres went large with a four-run outburst to
give Blais plenty of breathing room.
Facing Tigers reliever Falk, Chris
Papapietro smoked a leadoff double into the
left-eld corner. Dempsey bunted Papapietro
to third. Then things got a little weird. With
the Terra Nova ineld drawn in, Watkins hit a
chopper to shortstop Anthony Gordon. The
junior threw a strike to the plate to catch
Papapietro in a rundown. Catcher Jeff
Hendricks couldnt complete the pickle
though, as an errant throw to third sailed
down the left-eld line to score not only
Papapietro, but allowed Watkins to motor all
the way around to plate on a three-base error,
giving Serra a 4-0 lead.
But Serra didnt stop there. After a walk to
Sterling, James Outman took a 3-2 offering
and crushed it to right eld for a two-run
home run, the juniors second of the year.
Our coach told us to get a good pitch to
hit and just capitalize when you can and
for the most part we were able to do that,
Outman said.
Blais did the rest, ending the game with
two consecutive strikeouts.
The loss is Terra Novas third straight in non-
league play. The Tigers (10-8 overall) knew
they were going to have their hands full with
their rst matchup against a West Catholic
Athletic League opponent this season.
It was really tough. [Blais] is a D-I guy,
Milch said. I just tried to hit my spots and
keep the ball low because theyve got great
hitters over there.
The good news for Terra Nova is the return
of Gordon to the lineup. The junior played in
his rst game of the season Thursday after
being on the shelf all year with a hip injury.
Weve faced a lot of adversity through the
season but we think that now is our time,
Milch said. Weve got some experience
against a good team. Now we head back to
league next week and I think we can get a lot
more wins.
For the Padres (11-10), the win was essen-
tial as it prevented their overall record from
falling under the .500 mark for the rst time
this season. Serra resumes WCAL play April
29 at Riordan. Currently in sixth place with
four games to go, the Padres are counting on
Blais having plenty left in the tank down the
stretch.
Weve talked a lot this year about the
ability to understand different effort levels
and gears through the course of a game,
Serra manager Craig Gianinno said. So,
hes developed that rhythm where he gets
stronger as he goes.
His stuff is as good as anybodys, so give
me 70 percent of that early, thats still really
good. As the game unfolds and comes to
him, hell know where he may need to turn it
on a little bit and then gear back. And with
all that, I think its really difcult for hitters
to get comfortable in the box.
And as uncomfortable as opposing hitters
are in facing him, Blais is cruising to one
outstanding season.

SAN FRANCISCO Theres no arguing
the San Francisco Giants are giving them-
selves ample opportunities to win: They
have played seven straight one-run games.
With a chance to sweep the Los Angeles
Dodgers at home, they couldnt come
through again.
The Dodgers got to Madison Bumgarner
early on the way to a 2-1 victory Thursday.
San Franciscos offense was shut down by
seven scoreless innings from Hyun-Jin Ryu
as the South Korean pitcher tried to lift the
spirits for his country after a devastating
ferry accident back home.
The Giants have had seven straight games
decided by one run for the rst time since
eight in a row from Aug. 11-17, 1910,
according to STATS.
These were three tight games and they all
could have gone either way, manager Bruce
Bochy said. We had them on the ropes in
the eighth and ninth but we couldnt get the
big hit.
With his bushy beard freshly shorn,
Bumgarner (2-1) had a three-start winning
streak against the Dodgers snapped with
just his second loss in the past seven out-
ings against Los Angeles. The left-hander
allowed two runs, six hits and three walks
with six strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings but
threw 99 pitches.
Opponents are batting .326 off Bumgarner,
compared to a .203 average against that
ranked third-lowest in the NLlast year.
Ryu (3-1) stretched his road scoreless streak
to 26 innings this season and 28 in all.
Former Giants closer Brian Wilson gave
up a leadoff double to Ehire Adrianza but
escaped the inning unscathed. Kenley
Jansen gave up a two-out RBI single to
Adrianza before nishing for his fth save.
Theres a little added Adrenalin and emo-
tion here, Wilson said.
Center elder Angel Pagan didnt start
because of knee soreness but appeared as a
pinch-hitter.
He banged his knee into a wall a few
days ago, so were giving him a break,
Bochy said.

keeping the Panthers off the scoreboard. The sophomore
seemed to be working out of trouble all game long, but
came up clutch when the situation demanded it.
Burlingames rst best scoring chance came in the fourth
inning. Kat Marcan led off the inning with a single and
went to second on a Lindsey Schloetter sacrice bunt.
Following a single by Sara Slavsky, Rachel Topper walked
to load the bases with one out.
Dade locked in, however, and struck out the next two bat-
ters to get out of the jam.
Last year, [Dade] had trouble with her control,
Grammatico said. (Shes improved) night and day over
last year. She works really hard.
The Panthers stranded a runner at third in the fth, loaded
the bases again in the sixth and again came up empty.
When Capuchino extended its lead to 4-0 in the top of the
sixth, McKeever knew his team was in trouble. The
Panthers rely on playing small ball to manufacture runs,
which is a lot easier to do down 1-0 than 4-0.
How do you go small ball when youre down four?
McKeever asked. We dont have a lot of depth, so where do
we turn? We have to gure out how to turn this around.
Capuchino wasnt a whole lot more successful at the
plate, but the Mustangs took advantage of their opportuni-
ties. They quickly jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the
rst inning, courtesy of an unearned run. Allie Stines led
off the game and hit a ball that went under the rst base-
mans glove for an error. She moved to second and then
third by way of passed balls and then scored on Kaitlin
Changs one-out, sacrice bunt to put the Mustangs up 1-0.
The Mustangs wouldnt get another runner past second
base until the top of the fth when they loaded the bases on
a Lili Luevano single and then back-to-back walks to
Stines and Karina Chavarria with two outs. But Slavsky
came on to relieve Armanino and got a strikeout to end the
inning.
Capuchino loaded the bases again in the top of the sev-
enth and this time the Mustangs came up with big hit.
Luevano led off the inning with a single, followed by
Adrianna Picazo, who reached on an error. Following a y-
out, Chavarria walked to loaded the bases. After a strikeout
for the second out of the inning, clean-up hitter Taylor
Brazil strode to the plate and, on a 1-1 count, lifted a long
y ball to right eld. The drive, coupled with swirling
winds, turned the Burlingame right elder into knots as she
tried to track the ball, failing to make the catch and the ball
rolling to the fence.
By the time the ball was relayed back into the ineld,
Brazil was standing on third with a bases-clearing triple,
which would give the Mustangs an insurmountable lead.
It was really a big hit by [Brazil]. I kind of felt Taylor
was going to step up. Shes hitting a lot better this year,
Grammatico said, adding Brazil started the season batting
out of the No. 7 spot. Allie Stines has been just a stud this
year, hitting, like, .500 this season. Today, she couldnt do
it. But Taylor stepped up.
SOFTBALL
The Sharks had nothing to complain about after this game
as they jumped out to a 5-0 lead and held on for the victory.
The third playoff series in four years between these heat-
ed California rivals got off to an odd start as there was a
power outage at SAPCenter just minutes before the start of
pregame warmups. The lights came back on about ve
minutes later and the players warmed up without the usual
blaring music.
But by the time the puck dropped, the towel-waving
crowd was at its usual fever pitch chanting Beat L.A.!
Beat L.A.! right from the start.
The cheers only got louder during a dominant rst peri-
od that featured a combined 55 hits from the two teams,
three goals from the Sharks and a scrum after Mike Brown
pushed Voynov into Quick after the whistle.
Thorntons deection of Joe Pavelskis shot from the
slot on a chance created by Burns hustle to negate an
icing gave San Jose the early lead.
San Jose broke things open with two goals in the nal
minute off broken plays. James Sheppard miss-hit a one-
timer that slid right to Hertl, who tapped it in to make it 2-
0 with 51.7 seconds to play.
Marleau then made it 3-0 with 3.2 seconds to play to cap
a 2-on-1 with Matt Nieto, who failed to get off a one-timer
but instead slid the puck back to Marleau for his 58th
career playoff goal.
Brown played a night after his wife, Kati, gave birth to
their second son, Zane Michael. Jones made four saves in
his rst career playoff game.
SHARKS
that were still living, so we wanted to celebrate that out at
the ballpark, Paoli said.
Each military veteran was introduced during a pregame on-
eld ceremony. Many were dressed in full military attire.
According to Paoli, at least one family member of those who
are deceased was present, including the family of Army Cpl.
Pat Tillman, a Fremont native who was killed in combat in
2004.
San Mateo resident Joseph Coggins, who served in the
Army from 1941-46, was also among the honorees.
During the pregame ceremony, honorees lined up down the
right-eld line and were introduced to the 2,674 fans in
attendance. At the close of the ceremony, Taps was played
to honor the fallen.
To celebrate the event, the San Jose Giants players wore
camouage uniforms. The uniforms are being auctioned via
online bidding with all proceeds going to Operation: Care
and Comfort. The bidding closes on Memorial Day, when the
Giants will once again wear the uniforms.
During Sundays game, many fans in attendance had the
opportunity to meet the honorees and get their baseball
cards autographed.
Many honorees told myself and other members of the staff
that this was one of the best days of their lives, having never
been honored this way before, Paoli said in email. For us, it
was such an honor to be just a small part of these heroeslives
and I am so grateful that we were able to do this promotion.

HOUSTON James Shields kept the
Houston Astros off-balance all night.
Then late in Thursdays 5-1 win, the
Kansas City ace really heated up. He
struck out the side in the sixth and did the
same in the seventh before striking out
the rst batter in the eighth to make it
seven in a row. Astro after Astro simply
watched the pitches zip past them ve
players in that span struck out looking.
Shields (1-2) nished with 12 strike-
outs in eight innings as the Royals completed a three-game
sweep of the Astros.
His 12 strikeouts were his most as a Royal and the most
by a Kansas City pitcher since Zack Greinke also struck out
12 on June 13, 2010, against Cincinnati. The seven
straight Ks by Shields were one shy of the franchise record
of eight in a row set by Blake Stein in 2001.
Scott Feldman (2-1) yielded four earned runs and nine hits
in six innings. It was the rst tough outing for the Astros
newcomer after he had allowed just one run and seven hits
combined in his rst three starts.
It seems like they found a lot of holes, Feldman said.
Theyre a tough lineup, for sure.
Kansas City outelder Lorenzo Cain was placed on the 15-
day disabled list and left-hadner Justin Marks was recalled
from Triple-AOmaha to take his place on the roster.

TRANSACTIONS
It will be a fun matchup,
Clippers guard Jamal Crawford
said. Its two teams who are both
exciting and both love to get up
and down the court.
The high-flying frontcourt of
Blake Grifn and DeAndre Jordan,
coupled with point guard Chris
Paul and 3-point shooters all over
the roster make the Clippers one of
the most fan-pleasing spectacles
in sports. Los Angeles led the NBA
in scoring this season, averaging
107.9 points per game.
Incredible offensive jugger-
naut, Van Gundy called them.
The quick-shooting Stephen
Curry and Klay Thompson for
Golden State are as dangerous a
scoring tandem as the league has
ever seen. They combined to make
484 3-pointers this season
eclipsing their NBA record of 483
set last season and showed in
the playoffs a year ago how tough
they are to cover when they get
going.
The greatest shooting back-
court in NBA history, Warriors
coach Mark Jackson has repeatedly
labeled them.
What both coaches believe sepa-
rates their teams and often gets
lost in the shoot-rst-and-shoot-
often approach they employ on
offense is the importance they
place on defense.
The Warriors held opponents to
43.6 percent shooting, tied with
Oklahoma City for third-best in
the league though Golden
States defense could be hampered
with center Andrew Bogut out with
a fractured right rib. Opponents
shot 44.1 percent against the
Clippers, ranking fth.
Theres certain teams that you
can slow down, and then theres
certain teams that theyre going to
get it going in transition,
Jackson said. The one thing about
us is we defend at a high level,
which creates transition opportu-
nities.
The Clippers and Warriors also
have something rare these days:
real animosity that could fuel phys-
ical play.
They hate one another, said for-
mer Indiana Pacers guard and current
TNT analyst Reggie Miller.
The last major squabble came in
Golden States win on Christmas
Day in Oakland, when Grifn and
Warriors reserve Draymond Green
were ejected and Bogut had dust-ups
with Grifn and Paul. Earlier this
season, the Clippers even refused
to hold pregame chapel with the
Warriors in Los Angeles some-
thing every other team does in the
league.
The verbal accusations heated up
again on the air waves this week
when Thompson was asked to
describe Grifns antics. He said the
ClippersAll-Star forward is out of
control and compared him to a
bull in a china shop.
Like how can a guy that big and
strong op that much? Thompson
told KGMZ.
There have been several other
incidents, of course, including
seven technical fouls in the teams
rst meeting last season. In the
next, the Warriors beat the Clippers
by 21 and got more than 300,000
views from a YouTube video that
showed the bench jeering Grifns
3-point attempt that bounced off
the side of the backboard. The
Clippers came back three days later
by overemphasizing celebrations

Both organizations were kind of
irrelevant for a while when it comes
to playoff basketball and playing
important games. The last three
years its kind of been a progres-
sion to where we are now, Curry
said. You play each other four
times a year, sometimes in the pre-
season, and you understand youll
probably have to go through them
at some point to get to where you
want to go and the goals you set for
yourself. And all that kind of comes
out each time you play them.

No charges for
wrestlers in lynching photo
BELVIDERE, N.J. ANew Jersey
prosecutor says no charges will be
led against the members of a high
school wrestling team who posed in
a photograph that simulated a
lynching.
The Warren County prosecutors
ofce said Thursday that its investi-
gation with the Phillipsburg police
found no criminal wrongdoing.
The photo, which surfaced online,
showed seven white teens wearing
Phillipsburg High wrestling attire
posing with a black tackling
dummy in a Paulsboro wrestling
shirt and hanging from a noose.
Two of the boys had the hoods on
their sweatshirts xed into points.
Paulsboro and Phillipsburg high
schools are longtime wrestling
powerhouses and rivals.
Phillipsburg is about 85 percent
white. More than one-third of
Paulsboros residents are black.
Prosecutor Richard T. Burke says
his decision was cleared with the
state attorney generals ofce.

$765M concussion deal
PHILADELPHIA Ajudge over-

During much of 1970s cinema,
movies like Parallax View, All
the Presidents Men and Blow
Out reected and catered to an
America that was going through the
Vietnam-to-Watergate run of gov-
ernment malfeasance. So it was to
be expected that moviemakers
would tap into that paranoid zeit-
geist, suggesting evil and conspira-
cy behind every corner, a puppet
master in every hidden chamber.
So far in the space between the
Microsoft Windows era to the
social media era, if there is one
major theme in American lm, its
that the current unabated advances
in technology are scaring the ter-
abytes out of us. The astounding
improvements in computational
speed have reaped a largess of
advancement in every eld, even
outside of computing medicine,
environment, finance, entertain-
ment, war.
Decades from now, when future
generations look back on the cine-
ma of the late 20th to early 21st
century, theyll nd along with
lots of remakes, sequels, reboots
and remakes of rebooted sequels
a pretty obvious trend of techno-
phobia that makes us shudder in
our Google Glasses.
Whether its fear of computers
(The Matrix), lack of privacy
(Enemy of the State), genetics
(Gattaca), social media (The
Truman Show) or robotics (I,
Robot), its been a prolic run of
these technophobia films.
Ironically enough, we as a society

Transcendence rises to just ordinary
By Jessica Herndon
LOS ANGELES For more
than a decade, cinematographer
Wally Pfister brought director
Christopher Nolans cinematic
visions to life. Now, hes the
one calling the shots.
His directorial debut, the new sci-
mystery Transcendence, has
many elements of a Nolan block-
buster eye-popping visual
effects, a mind-bending story and
an A-list lead in Johnny Depp. All
of those things translate into high
expectations for Pster, who jok-
ingly likens his newly christened
directors seat to an electric chair.
In the lm releasing Friday, the
mind of Depps terminally ill scien-
tist, Will Caster, is uploaded into a
computer after his death, spawning
an eerily unruly machine. At the
heart of the story is the disrupted
relationship of Will and his wife,
Evelyn, played by Rebecca Hall.

LACE: A SUMPTUOUS HISTORY, 1 6 0 0 s - 1 9 0 0 s ,
AT THE SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM.
Lace, a decorative openwork web, was first developed in
Europe during the 16th century. The finest lace involved
the talents and skills of three distinct specialists: the
artist who created the designs on paper, the pattern maker
who translated the designs onto parchment and the lace
maker who worked directly on the patterns to make the
lace. Examples of these interwoven crafts make up Lace: A
Sumptuous History, 1600s-1900s, at the San Francisco
Airport Museum.
Lace was always an expensive luxury item because of its
painstaking, time-consuming production. Lace styles
evolved throughout the centuries in response to changes
in fashion. Both men and women wore lace from its incep-
tion to the 18th centuries. It was often the most costly
part of dress and reflected the sophisticated tastes of the
aristocracy. Lace adorned womens and mens collars and
cuffs, draped womens shoulders, hands, heads, covered
entire gowns and decorated furnishings. Two distinct types
of lace making needle lace and bobbin lace began
simultaneously. Needle lace is made with a single needle
and thread, while bobbin lace entails the plaiting of many
threads. Lace thread was typically made from linen, and
later silk or metallic gold threads, followed by cotton in
the 19th century. Needle and bobbin laces were often
named after the region or town where they were made.
Preeminent lace making centers were established in Italy,
Flanders and France.
From homemade tatting and crochet lace to impeccable
Brussels Vrai Rseau bobbin lace and French Point d
Alenon, Lace: A Sumptuous History explores the wide
range of laces made over the centuries. Edgings, lappets,
parasols, gloves, collars and dresses are some of the forms
in which these laces appear. Lace: A Sumptuous History,
1600s-1900s, is located pre-security in the International
Terminal at San Francisco Airport. The exhibit is free and
no airline ticket is required to enter the area. This exhibi-
tion was made possible through generous loans from the
Lacis Museum of Lace and Textiles, Berkeley and The Lace
Museum, Sunnyvale.

TIME MACHINES: CLOCKS & TIMEKEEPING
DEVICES, AT THE MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HER-
ITAGE. Timekeeping devices have been used for at least
5,000 years and today are essential for the planning and
timing of our everyday lives. Time Machines: Clocks &
Timekeeping, a new exhibition at The Museum of
American Heritage (MOAH), explores timekeeping and
timekeeping devices from the introduction of the sundial
by the Egyptians, circa 3500 B.C., to the precise atomic
clock of the 1940s. In addition to explanations of clock
mechanisms, the exhibit examines the role of timekeep-
ing in early navigation and in the industrial revolution,
when workers moved from the home to the factory and
trains had to run on time. This exhibition includes a vari-
ety of clocks from the MOAH collection and local collec-
tors. The Museum of American Heritage, located in the his-
toric Williams House in downtown Palo Alto, endeavors to
collect, preserve and display objects that illustrate the
evolution of 19th and early 20th century invention and
technologies. Through exhibits, classes, lectures and
events, early technology is made accessible and engaging
for visitors of all ages. Regular exhibit hours are 11 a.m.
to 4 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday (unless otherwise
noted). Closed for holidays. Admission to the galleries is
free. The Museum of American Heritage is located at 351
Homer Ave., Palo Alto between Bryant and Waverley
streets. Time Machines: Clocks & Timekeeping Devices
runs through Sept. 14.

A GILDED ROOM REOPENS AT THE LEGION OF
HONOR. After a 17-month comprehensive conservation
project, the Salon Dor from the Htel de La Trmoille at
the Legion of Honor has reopened. The richly carved and
gilded paneling of the Salon Dor was designed during the
reign of Louis XVI for the main salon de compagnie, or
reception room, of the Htel de La Trmoille on the Rue
Saint-Dominique. Its architecture, with giant gilded
Corinthian pilasters nearly 15 feet high framing four
arched mirrors and complemented by four massive doors,
was intended to evoke the grandeur of ancient Rome. The
design of the paneling, or boiserie, resembles the French
neoclassical style of the Legion of Honor itself, which is
modeled after the 18th century Htel de Salm in Paris,
today the Palais de la Lgion dHonneur. The Legion of
Honor Museum is located in Lincoln Park, 34th Avenue
and Clement Street, in San Francisco. For more informa-

nology despite the fear. Not only that, we
constantly thirst for and demand more of it.
Theres also the irony that these lmmak-
ers are warning us against technology by
using that very same technology Digital
film! Real 3-D! 4K resolution! IMAX!
Smellivision! (One of those is not real.)
to reach the masses.
In Transcendence, the technology
explored and questioned is articial intelli-
gence (A.I.). Essentially, the eld of A.I.
attempts to quantify human consciousness
so precisely that we can then replicate it
articially in machine form. Were attempt-
ing to create virtual life.
Like every other truly revolutionary tech-
nology, there is always the fear that we as
humans are exceeding moral or spiritual bar-
riers. Simply put, were not supposed to be
playing God.
Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean)
plays Dr. Will Caster, the foremost scientif-
ic researcher in A.I. Dr. Caster is on the cusp
of mapping out the human brain and getting
very close to achieving technological sin-
gularity, or the creation of sentience in a
machine.
When an extremist group mortally
wounds him in a terrorist attack, it does not
derail his plans. In fact, it inadvertently
inspires his wife and associates to achieve
Casters goal of singularity. To save his
life, or rather, his consciousness, they
upload the contents of his brain onto a com-
puter as his mortal body fades away into
death.
From this point, we witness the conict
that ensues among Caster 2.0, his wife and
associates, the terrorist group and govern-
ment law enforcement.
Depp is dead weight as the script doesnt
really give him much to do except appear on
a bunch of LED monitors. His presence in
the movie is strictly as a honey pot on the
marquee intended to draw audiences, most of
whom would not attend this lm.
The meat of the acting comes from
Rebecca Hall (The Town) and Paul Bettany
(A Beautiful Mind). Hall plays Dr.
Casters conicted wife, and Bettany his
colleague and friend. Kate Mara (House of
Cards) plays the leader of the terrorist
group. Hall and Bettany have their
moments, but the talented Mara doesnt
have anything decent to work with in this
script.
Wally Pster directs his rst feature lm
after making Christopher Nolans movies
look incredibly gorgeous as cinematogra-
pher. He ultimately won an Oscar for the
eye-candy store that was Inception, solid-
ifying his place as one of the best cine-
matographers in the business.
The use of IMAX in Transcendence is
puzzling. Except for a few interesting land-
scape shots, there was absolutely no need
for it, unless Pster had extra rolls of IMAX
lm sitting around his attic with an impend-
ing expiration date. Or it was a simple mar-
keting ploy, like Depp.
As a director, Pster has room to improve,
and needs to pick better source material.
What starts slowly as a Cartesian medita-
tion on consciousness turns into a dull
mash-up of regurgitated action and thriller
themes. The science and metaphysics are
way too remedial for the esoteric, and the
action and entertainment are way too staid
for the mainstream.
Thats too bad, because the themes are
very much worth exploring. The anti- in
the anti-technology movies is different
than the paranoia of the 70s lms in one
major way. The old conspiracy movies pro-
vided us a lens to see through the curtain
that hides the villain the government,
corporations and military-industrial com-
plex. Todays technophobe films dont
serve as lenses. Theyre mirrors. And the
enemy is us.
ORDINARY
Jack Paglen, hooked Pster because of the
emotional weight put on the study of hus-
band and wife and the increasing reliance on
technology. We start to wonder where its
all going to go, he says.
We are dependent on technology. Its got
us, afrmed Depp in a recent joint interview
to promote the lm.
Depp, 50, rst met Pster, 52, when they
worked on Paul McCartneys 2012 video for
his romantic ballad My Valentine, in
which Depp and Natalie Portman starred and
Pster was the director of photography.
I was immediately intrigued and curious
from (the) initial reading, says Depp of
Transcendence.
So many things come into my mind as far
as the dangers of technology. Say Im sud-
denly holding a gun, Depp illustrates, lift-
ing his left hand as his formidable engage-
ment ring with Amber Heard sparkles. The
gun is not inherently bad. Its a tool. Its
what we do with it. I think its the same with
technology.
For his rst directing gig, Pster, whos
worked on everything from Memento to
The Dark Knight Rises, swayed from doing
a big action lm.
Id done a lot as a cinematographer, he
says. What was important was telling some
sort of character-driven story. Exploring
human emotion. That is the logical reason to
jump from visual storytelling to narrative.
Nolan will also release a thought-provok-
ing sci- lm this year: the time travel-
focused Interstellar, out in November. But
Pster assures hes not in competition with
his long-time collaborator. Chris is an old
friend, he says. He has been incredibly
supportive of my move into this.
The two lmmakers even shared crew mem-
bers, including folks in the makeup, special
effects, equipment, casting and editorial
departments. But while Transcendence was
shooting, Nolan remained hands-off.
Chris never came to the set, says camera
operator Scott Sakamoto, who worked on
both movies. I think Chris let Wally take
the reins and go with it to see how well he
would do.
Although Transcendence marks the start
of a new phase in Psters career, he tackled
the job with the ease of a veteran.
Hes (an) experienced lmmaker, says
Depp. But there are times when you look at
a situation with a rst-time director and you
dont know. But never was there a stumble.
Depps Will in the lm is sharp, warm and
ambitious. But he ventures into dangerous
territory when his mind is uploaded into an
operating system thats connected to the
Internet. Soon, powerful and often-abusive
capabilities verge on catastrophic results.
You have to be wondering, Is this simply
a soulless machine? says Pster. If you
upload a mind into a computer, does it con-
tain sentience and if so, does that affect the
decision-making process of the machine?
Inherently with Johnny, you want to know
that hes still alive. We love Johnny. The
character of Will Caster doesnt work without
having a powerful, emotional person behind
it. We needed somebody that you could fall
for.

HAL has come a long way.
First, we had Scarlett Johansson
as a human-like operating system.
Now, Johnny Depp has been
uploaded. If the singularity
when artificial intelligence sur-
passes human smarts is indeed
coming, at least it has decent taste
in movie star avatars.
First-time director Wally
Psters Transcendence isnt so
much the Him to Spike Jonzes
Her as its a more dystopian
vision of the meeting of human
consciousness and computer intel-
ligence. It turns out that when com-
puters get sophisticated, worse
things can happen than Joaquin
Phoenix getting his feelings hurt.
But whereas Her was playful
and personal about familiar futuris-
tic concepts, Transcendence is
clunky and lifeless. Its like the
movie version of a paranoid TED
talk.
In the early scenes of
Transcendence, Dr. Will Caster (a
disappointingly sleepy Depp) is a
TED-style master of the universe,
speaking condently in front of
large video screens to eager listen-
ers about neurology and articial
intelligence. But there are also pro-
testers to his potentially all-pow-
erful invention: the Physically
Independent Neural Network
(PINN), an early articial intelli-
gence propelled by a room full of
computers that Caster believes
could, among other things, cure
cancer.
An assassination attempt with a
radiation-laced bullet leaves Caster
with weeks to live. Desperate to
keep his mind alive, his loyal,
sycophantic wife and fellow
researcher Evelyn (Rebecca Hall)
uploads Casters brain to a PC with
PINN hardware. Helping her is
their good friend and colleague
Max (Paul Bettany, serving as nar-
rator).
But as anyone with an iPhone
knows, software updates can be
tragic. The transfer is nished just
as Caster dies. Soon enough, the
screen ickers to life, rst with a
few typed words and then seeming-
ly Casters full personality, in
voice and pixel form.
Alert to their plan, anti-tech
activists (led by Kate Mara) are
simultaneously descending. In the
chaos, Max begins to realize
theyve created a high-speed
Frankenstein an epiphany lost
on the mourning Evelyn, who ees
after uploading Caster to the
Internet. He immediately spreads
across the Web (he calls Evelyn on
her phone) and begins seeking
more computing power.
It takes a long time for
Transcendence to build to this
moment, when perhaps it should
have begun here in the rst place.
But it feels like a suddenly intrigu-
ing crossroads. Where will this ter-
rifyingly digital Depp go?
If you answered: to a desert town
to build an underground data center
for development of radical tissue
regeneration techniques, guarded
by a creepy army of network-con-
nected, superhuman zombies
then your algorithms are more
advanced than mine.
Yet the urgency and intelligence
of Transcendence isnt articial.
It feels sincerely animated by the
frightful questions it poses about
computing power and intercon-
nectedness.
Pster, making his directorial
debut after years as a cinematogra-
pher often teamed with director
Christopher Nolan (a
Transcendence producer), doesnt
exhibit a sure hand with dialogue or
a feel for the rhythm of his narra-
tive. Neither does the lm have the
distinctive form of his prior pho-
tography work, most notably The
Dark Knight. (In imagery,
Transcendence pales in compari-
son to the sumptuous sci- of the
recent Under the Skin.)
But, as in Nolans Inception,
Pster, working from a script by
rst-time screenwriter Jack Paglen,
shows an instinct to drive the
genre elements toward a more per-
sonal story. Transcendence ulti-
mately hinges on the relationship
of Caster and Evelyn. The excellent
Hall, looking a bit confused by
what shes gotten herself into,
does her best to emotionally
ground Psters increasingly unfo-
cused and heavy-handed story.
Transcendence like a clunky TED talk

Actors shine in Hound of the Baskervilles spoof
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
One of Sir Arthur Conan Doyles most famous Sherlock
Holmes mysteries, The Hound of the Baskervilles, comes
to hilarious life in a spoof staged by TheatreWorks.
This stage adaptation by Steven Canny and John
Nicholson uses only three actors, plus two stagehands, to
relate the story of a longtime Baskerville family curse that
supposedly involves untimely deaths and a vicious dog that
stalks the desolate moors around their remote English
home.
It begins when the surviving Baskerville heir, Sir Henry
Baskerville (Darren Bridgett), seeks the help of Sherlock
Holmes (Ron Campbell) and his colleague, Dr. John Watson
(Michael Gene Sullivan), in investigating the recent death
of his uncle, the previous family heir. Sir Henry also has an
unsigned note warning him not to go to the moors.
Holmes asks Watson to accompany Sir Henry to the
Baskerville home in Dartmoor while he remains behind in
London. When Sir Henry and Watson arrive in Dartmoor,
they encounter several strange people. After Holmes joins
them, they solve the mystery, but not without some close
calls.
Because all three actors must portray a variety of charac-
ters, they make some lightning-quick costume changes
facilitated by costume designer B. Modern.
Andrea Becherts scenic design is flexible, aided by
Steven B. Mannshardts lighting. Many staging effects are
purposely obvious, such as the fog machines periodically
wielded on stage by two stagehands.
Because the three actors are so skilled and director Robert
Kelley paces the action so well, the show is amusing and
absorbing throughout most of its two acts. The one super-
uous scene comes at the beginning of Act 2, when the
actors recap Act 1 at breakneck speed, supposedly to make
up for things that some audience members might have
missed the rst time. Bridgett also has some unnecessary
forays into the audience.
Besides the silliness and the story itself, this production
features a chance to watch three highly skilled Bay Area
actors at work. That in itself is ample reward.
The Hound of the Baskervilles will continue at the
Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Castro
St., Mountain View, through April 28. For tickets and infor-
mation call (650) 463-1960 or visit www.theatreworks.org.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
T
his past summer I fell in love
with a kitchen gadget that has
been relatively slow to catch on
in the U.S. the mandoline.
Ive had several of these kicking around
my kitchen for a while now, but I never
quite saw the need for them. For those not
in the know, a mandoline is shaped like a
plank with a very thin, very sharp blade
at the far end. To use it, you slide a firm
vegetable back and forth along the plank.
Each time you slide over the blade, it
shaves a slice off the vegetable.
Many models are adjustable, allowing
you to quickly and easily create slices
ranging from 1/4 inch to paper thin.
Which is nice, but so what? I have good
knives and a good food processor, both
of which slice nicely.
Except the mandoline isnt simply a
manual food processor, and it is so much
more precise than a knife. Food proces-
sors usually are too robust to produce
ultrathin slices. And knives at least in
most home cooks hands (including my
own) simply cant produce consistent
results.
I discovered the difference this summer
when on a whim I decided I wanted thinly
shaved garlic in a salad. I used a knife on
the first clove and didnt get even close
to what I wanted. Aprocessor was out of
the question for something so small. So I
grabbed the mandoline and carefully
rubbed the clove back and forth over the
blade. In seconds Id reduced it to thin
shavings that perfectly flavored my
salad.
Next time, I shaved the vegetables
themselves for the salad. No longer were
celery and carrots large hunks to be
endured. When thinly shaved by the man-
doline, they took on an elegant, fresh
taste and texture. And as summer turned to
fall, I switched from salads to root veg-
etables. Paper thin slices of potatoes,
butternut squash, onions and sweet pota-
toes became delicate and sweet when piled
into a pan and roasted.
Suffice to say, I am hooked. So as I
contemplated a fresh approach to bread-
ed and baked haddock, I turned again to
the mandoline to render a potato fit for
pairing with the fish. In any other form,
potatoes would be too robust for a deli-
cate baked fish. But
shaved paper thin,
then wrapped around
the fish, the potato
slices become a deli-
ciously crisp edible
wrapper.
Just one caution
there is a reason man-
dolines come with a
hand guard for holding
the vegetables while
slicing. They are
extremely sharp and
its easy to cut yourself.
ROASTED
POTATO-WRAPPED HADDOCK
Start to finish: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Salt and ground black pepper
Dried thyme
1 1/4 pounds haddock fillets (about 2
large fillets)
Heat the oven to 400 F. Add the oil to a
large cast-iron skillet (large enough to
accommodate both haddock fillets in a
single layer), then place the skillet in the
oven to heat.
Meanwhile, use a mandoline or food
processor fitted with the thinnest slicing
blade to slice the potatoes into very thin
rounds. The potato rounds should be as
close to paper thin as possible. Set aside.
In a small bowl mix, together the mus-
tard and mayonnaise. Set aside.
Remove
the skillet
from the
oven and
carefully
cover the
bottom of it
with a sin-
gle layer of
potato
slices, over-
lapping the
edges
slightly.
Season the potatoes with a bit of salt,
pepper and thyme.
Use paper towels to pat dry the haddock
fillets, then brush the mustard-mayon-
naise mixture over both sides of the fish.
Place the haddock over the potatoes in
the skillet, then arrange a second layer of
potato slices over the fish, covering it
entirely. Season the potatoes with salt,
pepper and thyme, then mist them with
cooking spray.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake
for 14 minutes. Increase the oven to broil
and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or
until the potatoes are nicely browned.
Divide the haddock into 4 pieces, being
careful to leave the potatoes in place as
you serve the fish.

The mandoline is much more precise than a knife. Food processors usually are too robust to
produce ultrathin slices. And knives at least in most home cooks hands simply cant
produce consistent results.

PARIS David Cronenberg deconstructs
Hollywood, Tommy Lee Jones goes
Western, and reclusive New Wave legend
Jean-Luc Godard returns in 3-D in lms com-
peting for top honors at next months
Cannes Film Festival.
Organizers of the ritzy Riviera festival
famed for its red-carpet glamour announced
the much-heralded lineup Thursday for the
May 14-25 event, including 18 lms vying
for the top prize the Palme dOr.
Cannes organizers insist the lms are
chosen based on the art. But some themes in
this years crop are unmistakable: based-
on-real-life stories of Olympic wrestlers,
fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and
British painter J.M.W. Turner; themes of
solitude, or the Old West; daily life in north-
ern Mali under jihadist control or in todays
Russia.
Aside from Godard and Cronenberg, sev-
eral other Cannes veterans are back, includ-
ing Britains Mike Leigh and Ken Loach of
Britain, and Belgiums Jean-Pierre and Luc
Dardenne who will be angling for their
third Palme dOr. Michel Hazanavicius, the
French director of the Oscar-winning silent
lm The Artist, also returns.
Films by two women Naomi Kawase of
Japan and Alice Rohrwacher of Italy are
also in the running. Event organizers have
faced recent criticism for not selecting more
lms by female directors.
But Cannes is about far more than just
competition for the top award. Some 49 fea-
ture-length films from 28 countries
including 15 by female directors and
many short lms will be shown at the 11-
day cinema extravaganza.
It is important for us that the Cannes
selection is a voyage through cinema and
the world, Director-General Thierry
Fremaux said. You can nd in the ofcial
selection a lot of ... big names, but also
young, new directors.
He noted that while some films have
funny moments, no full-blown comedies are
in the competition.

MEXICO CITY Gabriel Garcia Marquez,
the Nobel laureate whose intoxicating nov-
els and short stories exposed millions out-
side Latin America to its passions, supersti-
tion, violence and social inequality, died at
home in Mexico City on Thursday. He was
87.
Widely considered the most popular
Spanish-language writer since Miguel de
Cervantes in the 17th century, the
Colombian-born Garcia Marquez achieved
literary celebrity that spawned comparisons
to Mark Twain and Charles Dickens.
His amboyant and melancholy ctional
works among them Chronicle of a Death
Foretold, Love in the Time of Cholera
and Autumn of the Patriarch outsold
everything published in Spanish except the
Bible. The epic 1967 novel One Hundred
Years of Solitude sold more than 50 mil-
lion copies in more than 25 languages.
His stories made him literatures best-
known practitioner of magical realism, the
ctional blending of the everyday with fan-
tastical elements such as a boy born with a
pigs tail and a man trailed by a cloud of yel-
low butteries.
The Mexican government said Garcia
Marquez died at 2 p.m. Agray hearse escort-
ed by dozens of police ofcers in patrol cars
and on motorcycles left the authors home
about three hours later.
Athousand years of solitude and sadness
because of the death of the greatest
Colombian of all time! Colombian
President Juan Manuel Santos said on
Twitter. Solidarity and condolences to his
wife and family ... Such giants never die.
Biographer Gerald Martin told the
Associated Press that One Hundred Years of
Solitude was the rst novel in which Latin
Americans recognized themselves, that
dened them, celebrated their passion, their
intensity, their spirituality and supersti-
tion, their grand propensity for failure.
Dozens of journalists camped outside the
authors colonial red-brick home in a
wealthy neighborhood, swarming the slow
trickle of friends who came to pay respects.
Its a loss for all Spanish-language liter-
ature, said Monica Hernandez, a 28-year-
old fan who laid a bouquet of light-pink
owers on the doorstep.

intendent. We shouldnt be here, but
the community is rallying together to
say its time.
The union has created a Change.org
pledge to show support for increasing
teacher salaries and increases in dis-
trict benet contributions. It states
teachers in the district havent had a
raise for about three years, and are pay-
ing nearly $11,000 per year of their
own money for family health care cov-
erage. A union survey found that
around 58 percent of Belmont teachers
are struggling now to pay their mort-
gages and rent costs and 26 percent
will be forced to move out of Belmont
unless more support is provided.
We want to be able to focus on our
students and not have to have second
jobs or commute long distances,
Sveda said. Some are getting priced
out of the area.
Another Ralston teacher, Michael
Bradley, is on the associations nego-
tiating team said hes been most frus-
trated with health care costs draining
teachers pocketbooks.
Weve been working without a con-
tract for a year and a half now, he said.
Something has to be done. The dis-
trict has some pretty substantial
reserves. The union has made conces-
sions such as raising class sizes.
Parents also came out to support the
teachers, including Estreilla
Raddavero, who teaches in the
Millbrae Elementary School District
and has two children in the Belmont
schools.
The teachers work extremely hard
and Im very proud of our schools, she
said.
Meanwhile, Cipriani Elementary
School special education teacher Katie
Newsom dressed up her dog Stevie with
posters reading, Bark if you support
the our teachers and brought him to
the rally. She said she came out to sup-
port the teachers and a potential salary
increase.

cators. More about the campaign can

PAY
bait or our crab pots, wed have to
move. If it was replacing the same
hoist or something minor, OK thats
fine, but this is a pretty major
change, McHenry said. They dont
seem to really care that much about the
shermen and without the shermen,
the harbor is dead.
The hoist is now one of four on the
Johnson Pier and is used to load or
unload sh from the boats up to the
deck of the pier. There are three sh
buyers at the harbor, and each until
Tuesday had only one hoist.
The Three Captains Sea Products sh
buyer appealed to the district for the
installation of its second hoist, said
Commissioner Jim Tucker.
People may be a little bit jealous,
people that just overreact to every-
thing. This man had every right to put
that hoist in and we made it difcult
for him, Tucker said. The mans enti-
tled to the hoist, we even instructed
the general manager to give him a let-
ter for things he had to do to get the
hoist and he did it.
Mike McHenry, a sh buyer with
Pillar Point Fisheries, said he is upset
that one sh buyer received a hoist and
doubled the business capacity while
others were not offered it.
The allowance of the new hoist
stems from the commission, after
nearly 20 years, changing the terms of
the sh buyers leases, said General
Manager Peter Grenell. Per their lease,
each of the three buyers can have two
hoists, to be located wherever they
choose as long as they work with the
harbormaster, Grenell said.
Commissioner Sabrina Brennan
questions why the shermen and other
stakeholders, who feel they arent
being represented, hadnt been con-
sulted.
Fishermen want to have input on
infrastructure decisions and they
should, because theyre the ones using
the infrastructure and of course the dis-
trict should be checking with them to
see what their needs are, Brennan
said.
Brennan, Mike McHenry and Porter
McHenry refer back to a Jan. 15 com-
mission meeting where they say both
Grenell and Harbormaster Scott
Grindy assured the board the shermen
would be consulted prior to installing
a new hoist.
The general manager said he was in
support of the public process/strate-
gic planning process at the [Jan. 15]
meeting but his actions [Tuesday]
make it apparent that backroom deals
still rule the day at Pillar Point
Harbor. Stakeholders were ignored in
favor of the ol boys club approach to
running a public facility, Brennan
wrote in an email.
Bernardo said this was no backroom
deal as the actions are clearly outlined
in the lease agreement. The district
must abide by the terms of the lease
agreement and where the hoist goes
is between the sh buyer and the har-
bormaster; its not up to the communi-
ty where it goes, Bernardo said.
Yet the primary issue is the location
and the districts promise to consult
with the stakeholders who have to
maneuver around the hoist, McHenry
said.
The main thing is crab season I
think its going to be the biggest
issue. Therere 60 or 70 crab boats.
Its going to cause a lot of tension,
probably slow the boats down, keep-
ing them from making their income,
stuck at the dock waiting, McHenry
said.
Bernardo and Grenell said physical
constraint issues such as this will be
discussed as the district looks toward
developing its ve-year business plan
and it will apply for a grant for the
plan at the end of the month.
Bernardo is hopeful that the new
hoist will prove a benet by expedit-
ing sh unloading from which the dis-
trict will see more fees and the other
sh buyers are welcome to appeal for a
new hoist as well. As for outreach, its
another thing the district will look
toward improving, Bernardo said.
Typically when youre going to
make any type of changes to your
infrastructure you will send out a cour-
tesy bulletin that tells people this is
coming or theres going to be con-
struction here, Bernardo said. And
that type of due diligence is usually
done and if it hasnt happened Im
sorry and its unfortunate it didnt. But
were constantly making improve-
ments so hopefully next time well be
making better outreach as a district.

get a lot more done if you are able to ignore all the
disgruntled and bitter people around you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your energy level is low.
Consider joining in some competitive games or sports
to help boost your stamina. Show the people you love
that they are a top priority in your life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Dont allow anyone to
take advantage of you. Speak up and set your own
rules. If you are assertive and you stand your ground,
you will get the desired results. Do your own thing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Make an effort to
cooperate with family members. Older relatives may be
able to offer insight into your problems. Discuss family
history with an elder to discover valuable information.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Be strict about the
family budget. Frivolous expenses will deplete your
savings if you dont keep track of them. Accurate
nancial records are essential.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You will be able to
continue engaging in pleasant activities once you have
resolved a minor family problem. Keep your emotions
in check, or you may end up making matters worse.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Dont divulge
secrets. Make sure your work relationships stay free
of emotional turmoil. Be truthful and clear. A casual
remark could be misinterpreted.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Its great to get out
and mingle, but before forming new friendships, make
sure there isnt a conict of interest. A hastily made
promise could result in an embarrassing situation.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Strong alliances with
your co-workers will enable you to make great strides.
Pool your ideas for maximum effect. You will provide
useful suggestions for improving efciency at work.

related to her fourth arrest at San Francisco
International Airport for trespassing and
being in violation of a court-ordered ban
April 7.
Hartman, 62, had settled two of her cases
just days before being caught in the air-
ports food court restroom.
Hartman pleaded no-contest to trespass-
ing Thursday and was ordered to appear
Friday, April 25 to evaluate whether her case
should be transferred to the Pathways
Program, San Mateo Countys mental
health treatment court, District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said.
Outstanding. Im pleased to hear it
because I have no idea what her mental
health circumstances are but if she does
have mental health issues, Pathways is the
way to deal with it, Wagstaffe said.
Hartmans run-in with the law began in
February when she was arrested following
three attempts within ve days to board
Hawaii-bound ights without a ticket. The
rst time she managed to get on board but
was discovered when the actual ticket holder
arrived at the seat. The next two times,
including once when she used a discarded
boarding pass, she was stopped at the secu-
rity gate.
During one of her arrests, she was found
with her probation paperwork in her purse
and told the arresting ofcer she felt safer at
the airport than at her San Francisco apart-
ment.
After another attempt to sneak through
security, Hartman reportedly told authori-
ties she has cancer and wanted to go some-
where warm.
It is believed Hartman may have had can-
cer eight or nine years ago, however, she
doesnt appear to still be suffering from it,
Wagstaffe said.
The court is unsure whether she has any
relatives, as every time shes been asked for
an emergency or family contact, she uni-
formly says none, Wagstaffe said.
Hartman had previously settled two cases
with a plea deal predicated on up to 60 days
in jail.
Hartmans bail was reduced for one charge
from $25,000 to $2,500, however, in com-
bination with her previous charge, she is
now being held on $10,000 bail and had not
posted bail as of Thursday afternoon,
Wagstaffe said.
Along with the April 7 charges, her March
26 attempt is still outstanding and may be
tacked on depending how the April 25
appearance goes, Wagstaffe said.
Treatment at Pathways is considered very
intensive probation supervision in which if
one goes on medication, and very often
they do, the Pathways staff will ensure they
stay on their medication, Wagstaffe said.
The treatment team is comprised of peo-
ple from the countys Mental Health and
Probation departments, Wagstaffe said.
However, as the county has limited
resources, they will only accept people in
the Pathways program who have signicant
mental health issues, Wagstaffe said.
Yet as no county ofcials seem to know
what her mental health status is, her enter-
ing into the program could provide some
answers to this womans bizarre trespassing
crimes, Wagstaffe said.
Is this because of mental health prob-
lems? Is this because shes simply lonely?
Or whats provoking this? Thats what the
team, the Pathways mental health team, will
explore and give a conclusion to the judge
and me, Wagstaffe said.

Gee bought his dog, named Tipsy, with
his girlfriend while attending the
University of California at Santa Barbara in
2006, Wagstaffe said.
After breaking up with his girlfriend, Gee
and Tipsy moved in with Gees mother in
San Mateo in 2010, Wagstaffe said. Gee was
very loving with Tipsy and the two played
regularly, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
However, Gee had ongoing serious mental
health problems and, on the evening of Jan.
23, he was suffering a psychotic break dur-
ing which he believed the dog was a demon
and heard voices telling him to kill his dog,
Wagstaffe said.
He then strangled Tipsy and used a knife
to cut up his dog after it was deceased before
nally burning it in his backyard barbecue,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Gees mother and sister saw nothing
unusual occur that night, Gee didnt appear
angry, the dog didnt mess on the oor,
however, the next morning the sister woke
up and smelled something burning in the
backyard, Wagstaffe said.
When she asked Gee where the dog was he
apparently acted bizarrely and said the dog
ran away, Wagstaffe said.
Gees family discovered Tipsys remains
in the barbecue grill and called authorities
who placed Gee on a section 5150 psychi-
atric hold, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
As Gees actions constitute animal cruel-
t y, the Peninsula Humane Society took the
investigative lead in the sad and horric
case, PHS spokesman Scott Delucchi said.
There are obviously different levels from
this. One, from the animals standpoint, its
horric, weve never seen anything like it,
Delucchi said. The other level, is the per-
son involved and there was some kind of
break and really, from the PHS standpoint,
our hope is that the person is not around
animals and that he gets the professional
help that he needs. We understand that
theres a human side of it, but just again,
from the animal side of it, its obviously
best if hes not around animals.
Most of the cases the PHS sees have more
to do with neglect, intentional or not, but
sadly, they do see heinous crimes against
animals where someone has gone out of
their way to just inict pain or harm or suf-
fering on an animal, Delucchi said.
In this case, it appears mental illness
played a role, however, Gees actions are
like something that someone would see in
a horror movie, except that this really hap-
pened, said Delucchi.
Delucchi said he is thankful the county
has a district attorney who takes animal cru-
elty cases very seriously yet he recognizes
there was more at play in this case.
One of the reasons this case stands out
was the method in which the dog was killed,
Wagstaffe said.
The other is just a reminder of what men-
tal health issues can cause, can provoke in
people. As everyone knows, jails are called
the number one mental health facilities in
the world. There are more people suffering
from mental health ... in our jails and pris-
ons than in hospitals, Wagstaffe said. The
reason theyre in jail (is) while suffering
from mental illness, they engage in crimi-
nal conduct.
Gees defense attorney Ross Green said he
could not comment on the case, however, a
pretrial conference has been scheduled July
15 and a jury trial Aug. 4.
Gee is out on $50,000 bail.

GENEVA In a surprise accord, Ukraine
and Russia agreed Thursday on tentative
steps to halt violence and calm tensions
along their shared border after more than a
month of Cold War-style military posturing
triggered by Moscows annexation of
Crimea.
Russias pledge to refrain from further
provocative actions drew support but also a
measure of skepticism from President Barack
Obama, who said at a news conference at the
White House that the United States and its
allies were prepared to ratchet up sanctions if
Moscow doesnt fulll its commitments.
I dont think we can be sure of anything at
this point, Obama said after Secretary of
State John Kerry, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov and diplomats from Ukraine
and Europe sealed their agreement after hours
of talks in Geneva.
The abruptly announced agreement, bro-
kered by the West, provides no long-term
guide for Ukraines future nor any guarantee
that the crisis in eastern Ukraine will abate.
But it eases international pressure both on
Moscow and nervous European Union
nations that depend on Russia for their ener-
gy.
Reached after seven hours of negotiations,
the deal requires all sides to refrain from vio-
lence, intimidation or provocative actions.
It calls for disarming all illegally armed
groups and returning to Ukrainian authori-
ties control of buildings seized by pro-
Russian separatists during protests.
Notably, though, it does not require
Russia to withdraw an estimated 40,000
troops massed near the Ukrainian bor-
der. Nor does it call for direct talks
between Russia and Ukraine.
The agreement says Kievs plans to reform
its constitution and transfer more power
from the central government to regional
authorities must be inclusive, transparent
and accountable. It gives amnesty to protest-
ers who comply with the demands, except
those found guilty of committing capital
crimes.
The negotiations came against the back-
drop of the bloodiest episode to date in the
clashes that pit the new government in Kiev
against an eastern insurgency the West
believes is backed by Moscow.
Deal reached on calming Ukraine tensions for now
