Coastside campground improvements begin

Delay at Half Moon Bay State Beach frustrates resident
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Improvements to San Mateo Countys

largest coastal campground are underway
after getting a late start that has one
neighbor perturbed.
The Francis Campground at Half Moon
Bay State Beach welcomes thousands of
visitors each year. However, after sunny
October crowds and Pumpkin Festival
attendees dispersed, California State
Parks closed the popular site at the end of
Kelly Avenue for improvements last year.
The construction project slated to bolster the sites offerings has been hindered
by inclement weather and officials delay
in solidifying contracts.
State Parks officials expected the project to take up to four months to complete
and said they set aside ample time to
account for poor weather.
Yet Half Moon Bay resident Tim Pond
said construction on the now ghost townlike campground didnt start until recently
and the delay resulted in revenue losses of
thousands of dollars a day.
State Parks spent nearly three years
planning for upgrades at the park that are
projected
to
increase
revenue.
Improvements at the existing 52-slot
campsite include installing 40 electrical
hookups for RVs and campers while
adding up to three new campsites, including one thats in compliance with the

Commission fines PG&E

$530,000 for safety violations
SAN FRANCISCO The California Public
Utilities Commission has fined Pacific Gas
& Electric $530,000 for safety violations it
says it found during audits that began in
2012. The commission says in a Friday statement that the fines include $430,000 for failing to immediately examine pipelines and
showed signs of potential corrosion.
It says PG&E has also been fined $100,000
for allowing non-qualified workers to perform field work.
The commission says the violations could
create hazardous conditions for the public and
utility employees.
Allegations of back-channel dealings
between the state commission and PG&E surfaced last year after emails showing officials
privately discussing regulatory matters were
made public.

Americans with Disabilities Act, according to State Parks officials.
Previously, campers were forced to use
loud generators to operate their electrical
equipment and appliances. Once the new
amenities are in place, it will greatly
reduce noise impacts and benefit the
neighborhood, said Supervising State
Park Ranger Nelle Lyons.
Thats one of the greatest benefits of
the project. And weve had a lot of people
ask that we do this. A lot of campers,
when they find out we dont have electrical hookups, theyre disappointed that we
dont have more modernized facilities,
Lyons said.
While the goals of the project are positive, Pond said the more than two-month
delay was due to State Parks poor planning and failure to coordinate with Pacific
Gas and Electric.
Its just sad. Its normally a vibrant
place where everybodys at the beach.
Now, its just kind of a wasteland, Pond
said. This is one of the most obtuse government wastes that I have ever seen.
Its sad to see that our state can be so complacent when it comes to their own revenue dollars and serving the public.

park and said he has 10 years experience

as a public works superintendent and general contractor, estimated State Parks
could be losing up to $3, 000 per day during unnecessary closures.
State Parks spokeswoman Vicky Waters
said 14, 314 campsites were reserved in
2013, with the slowest months being
December, January and February. While
the project got a bit of a late start, planners intentionally avoided the campgrounds busy season and allotted a large
block of time to account for bad weather,
Waters wrote in an email.
It appears that there were some delays
with the initial signing of the contract, as
well as weather delays due to the storms
and aftereffects in December, Waters
wrote. Even during the delay in actual
construction, preliminary work did take
place since October and actual groundbreaking began earlier this month. The
timeline for completion is still the end of
March, barring any unforeseen circumstances as there will have to be some
oversight and approval [from PG&E. ]
Once the electrical fixtures are completed, rates for campsites with the new electrical hookups will be $50 or $65 per
night, depending on location, while the
remaining campsites will continue at the
current rate of $35 per night.

Pimps bride-to-be gets cold feet

STAFF AND WIRE REPORT

A Pittsburg resident who pleaded no contest to felony charges of

pimping out his so-called girlfriend was set to marry another
woman during his sentencing
hearing in a San Mateo County
courtroom Friday afternoon.
That is until she decided to call
it off. Instead of nuptials and a
sentencing, Foster Shane Gaines,
37, just received an eight-year
sentence for pimping.
The marriage did not take place
because the defendant, according
to his attorney, was jilted by his
intended bride, said Karen
Guidotti, chief deputy district
attorney. Obviously, we are
pleased that the sentencing of a
very serious offender was not
minimized by having a wedding
take place immediately thereafter.
The prosecution originally
objected to the courthouse wed-

ding, but Judge

J o s e p h
Berg ero n
denied
that
objection and
agreed to officiate the wedding.
Gaines and
Foster Gaines his victim were
a p p r e h e n de d
through a sting operation conducted by the South San Francisco
Police Department and the Human
Trafficking Task Force last
January. Officers contacted them
through the now-defunct prostitution website MyRedbook and
arranged a date at a local hotel.
Gaines told the county probation department that the victim
was his girlfriend but at the same
time was planning a marriage to
another woman, Guidotti said.
The victim, who had worked for
Gaines since 2011, continued to
visit him in jail and work for him,

despite Gaines threatening to

burn her parents house down
when she tried to quit in 2013,
according to prosecutors.
Gaines already has one strike
against him from a prior conviction for shooting two people, for
which he served 13 years in state
prison. His defense attorney,
John Halley, could not be reached
for comment Friday morning.
As part of his eight-year sentence plea deal, Gaines received
701 days of credit for timed
served, Guidotti said.
Whether the intent was in the
name of true love or just for the
perks of a conjugal visit, Guidotti
said she was relieved the judge
wasnt able to marry the two.
It [would have been] absolutely inappropriate to combine the
sentence of someone who was
engaged in that kind of behavior,
with a marriage, Guidotti said.
It demeans the seriousness of
what was taking place there.

State unemployment falls to 7 percent; few new jobs

By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias unemployment rate fell to 7 percent last month,

a drop of two-tenths of a percentage point
from a month earlier, but the state added
just 700 jobs in December, a disappointing
number after good job gains in November.
Job gains in areas such as trade and transportation, financial activities, educational
and health services, hospitality and government were offset by major losses in construction, information, and professional,
business and other services, the California
Employment Development Department
reported Friday.
Economists said the apparently slim
number of jobs added in December was not
a huge concern given the overall growth
pattern of the last year. The survey also
noted that a federal survey of households
estimated that 40,000 more Californians
were employed in December than in
November.
When the swings in the number of jobs
created month-by-month are evened out,
the state had roughly a net gain of 26,000

jobs per month in 2014, said Michael

Bernick, a former department director who
is now a fellow at the Milken Institute.
This is healthier job growth than we
have seen since the early 2000s, and more
in line with what we can expect in 2015,
Bernick said. But he noted that a far higher
percentage of those new jobs are part-time
than full-time, replacing full-time positions that were eliminated during the recession.
The part-time workforce reached 3.49
million in November, of which 1.2 million
were involuntary part time workers who
were unable to find full-time work, he
wrote in an analysis.
EDD said that the state has added more
than 1.5 million jobs since the economic
recovery began in February 2010. The last
time Californias jobless rate stood at 7
percent was June 2008, before the recession took hold.
The San Francisco Bay Areas booming
technology sector continues to drive economic growth for the whole state, said
Steven Levy, director of the Center for
Continuing Study of the California
Economy based in Palo Alto.

Police: State employee

brought loaded gun into workplace
SACRAMENTO The California
Highway Patrol said Friday that it has arrested a state employee who is accused of bringing a loaded gun to work at the secretary of
states office.

the next day and arrested him on a misdemeanor charge of possessing of a firearm in
a state building.
Officials could not say whether Thurmond
accidentally left a gun in his bag or planned
to use it. The California Highway Patrol
would not release the police report until it
was reviewed by lawyers.
The secretary of states office on Friday
afternoon obtained a restraining order
against Thurmond, who was released
Thursday from the Sacramento County Jail.

Prosecutors argued that Larson was not

under the influence of any substance but had
plenty of opportunity to avoid crashing
his 41-foot long boat Next Chapter into
the 19-foot long 1972 Sabercraft boat carrying Truong and his father.
Larson claimed never to have seen the
smaller boat but the U.S. Coast Guard disagreed and concluded that he had the duty to
yield as his motorboat was much larger.
Six years prior to the fatal crash, Larson
allegedly crashed a boat into the Hunters
Point Pier and injured one, according to a
wrongful death lawsuit filed against him

and his Next Chapter corporation by Kiet

Truong and the mother of Minh Truongs
two young children.
A judge didnt allow the jury to hear evidence of the previous accident.
Larson was ordered Friday to pay
$20,000 in restitution to the victims family, three years probation with the first half
supervised followed by court probation during which he may not participate in any
boating activities, Guidotti said. Larsons
sentence may be reviewed in 60 days to
determine if it merits modification, she
added.

Biden: More access to higher

Justices will review

use of midazolam
as an execution drug
By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Created under President Barack Obamas health care law, HealthCare.gov is the online gateway
to government-subsidized private insurance for people who lack coverage on the job.

Privacy concerns over health

care website prompt reversal
By Jack Gillum
and Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Bowing to privacy

concerns, the Obama administration
reversed itself Friday, scaling back the
release of consumers personal information
from the governments health insurance
website to private companies with a commercial interest in the data.
The administration made the changes to
HealthCare.gov after the Associated Press
reported earlier this week that the website
was quietly sending consumers personal
data to companies that specialize in advertising and analyzing Internet data for performance and marketing.
The personal details included age,
income, ZIP code, tobacco use and whether
a woman is pregnant.
That prompted lawmakers to demand an
explanation, while privacy advocates
called on the administration to make
changes.
Analysis of the website Friday by the AP
showed that the administration had made
changes to reduce the outbound flow of personal information. Before that, the website was explicitly sending personal data to
third-party sites.

The site is used by millions to sign up for

coverage under the health care law, or to
merely browse for insurance plans in their
communities.
The changes were confirmed by Cooper
Quintin, a staff technologist with the
Electronic Frontier Foundation, a civil liberties group. Quintin called it a great first
step, but said the administration needs to
do more.
An administration spokesman did not
respond to a request for comment on
Friday.
Offi ci al s o f t h e Heal t h an d Human
Services Department had at first defended
their information-sharing practices, saying the outside companies only used the
dat a t o an al y ze t h e wo rk i n g s o f
HealthCare. gov and make improvements
to the website that benefit consumers.
There is no evidence that consumers pers o n al i n fo rmat i o n was mi s us ed, t h ey
said.
Created under President Barack Obamas
health care law, HealthCare. gov is the
online gateway to government-subsidized
private insurance for people who lack coverage on the job. It serves 37 states, while
the remaining states operate their own
insurance markets. The privacy issue surfaced just as the president was calling for
stronger Internet safeguards for consumers.

Obama highlights child care

in GOP strongholds of Kansas
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAWRENCE, Kan. President Barack

Obama on Thursday called for an expanded
child care program that would reach more
than 1 million additional children from lowand moderate-income families as part of an
economic agenda that is a centerpiece of his
remaining two years in office.
The plan would expand a federal Child
Care and Development Fund by spending
$80 billion over 10 years with a goal of
providing care to more than 2.6 million
children age 3 or younger. The program
would be paid for with revenue generated by
Obamas plan to increase taxes on wealthy

taxpayers an idea
panned by Republicans.
Obama made his pitch
at a liberal stronghold
deep in Republican territory as he promoted his
Democratic Party agenda
while calling for less
partisanship
in
Barack Obama Washington.
With two working parents in many U.S. households, Obama said
high-quality child care programs are not
just nice-to-haves, these are must-haves.
Obama told a crowd at the University of
Kansas: I dont want anybody being day
care poor.

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court is

stepping into the issue of lethal injection
executions for the first time since 2008 in
an appeal filed by death row inmates in
Oklahoma.
The justices agreed Friday to review
whether the sedative midazolam can be used
in executions because of concerns that it
does not produce a deep, comalike unconsciousness and ensure that a prisoner does
not experience intense and needless pain
when other drugs are injected to kill him.
The order came eight days after the court
refused to halt the execution of an Oklahoma
man that employed the same combination
of drugs.
Oklahoma, as well as Florida, uses midazolam as one of three drugs in lethal injection executions. The second drug serves to
paralyze the inmate and the third one is used
to stop his heart.
The case will be argued in late April, an
attorney for the men said Friday. A decision
is expected by the end of June.
The appeal was brought to the court by
four Oklahoma inmates with execution dates
ranging from January to March. The justices
allowed Charles Warner to be put to death on
January 15 and denied stays of execution for
the other three.
At the time, Justice Sonia Sotomayor
wrote a dissent that was joined by three
other justices, calling on the court to examine whether the drug could be used in accordance with the constitutional prohibition
on cruel and unusual punishment.
Fridays order does not formally call a halt
to those scheduled procedures. Dale Baich,

an attorney for the inmates, said he would

ask the court to block the executions until
the case is decided.
Oklahomas execution protocol has been
affirmed as constitutional by two federal
courts, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott
Pruitt said Friday. We will continue to
defend the constitutionality of this protocol
in order to preserve (the Department of
Corrections) ability to proceed with the
sentences that were given to each inmate by
a jury of their peers.
In 2008, the justices upheld the use of a
different three-drug combination in a case
from Kentucky and set a high bar for challenges to lethal injections. Chief Justice
John Roberts wrote then that the court probably would not stop executions unless the
condemned prisoner establishes that the
states lethal injection protocol creates a
demonstrated risk of severe pain.
What has changed since 2008 is that
states have been forced to change the drugs
they use in executions after drug manufacturers took steps to ensure their products are
not used in executions.
The inmates are trying to stop their executions, arguing that the state would essentially be experimenting on them by injecting
them with unproven and untested drugs.
The drug protocol in Oklahoma is not
capable of producing a humane execution,
even if it is administered properly, Baich
said.
Last April, Oklahoma used midazolam for
the first time in a grisly procedure. Inmate
Clayton Lockett clenched his teeth, moaned
and writhed on the gurney before a doctor
noticed a problem with the intravenous line
and the execution was called off. Lockett
died 43 minutes after the procedure began.

Yemens Shiite rebels try to avoid overstepping amid protest

By Ahmed Al-Haj and Maggie Michael
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen Yemens Shiite rebels

faced mounting pressures and signs of internal divisions Friday after the U.S.-backed
president and his cabinet resigned rather
than submit at gunpoint to their increasing
demands for greater power.
With thousands of demonstrators on both
sides taking to the streets across the impoverished Arab country, the rebels appeared
wary of the dangers of overstepping in
Yemens minefield of tribal politics, sectarian divisions, al-Qaida militancy and a
strong secessionist movement.
Although rebel gunmen manned checkpoints throughout the capital and continued
besieging the houses of government ministers, they made no public attempt to fill the
vacuum created by the resignations of
President Abed Rabbo Hadi, his prime minister and cabinet. And there were signs that
the national parliament would reject the resignations when it meets Sunday.
Indeed, it seemed as though the rebels,
known as the Houthis, do not want to rule
the country outright and would prefer that
Hadi remain as a figurehead president.
In his latest speech, rebel leader AbdelMalek al-Houthi vowed to keep up the pressure until the government meets all his
demands, including greater representation
in government ministries and in a committee to rewrite the countrys constitution. He
stressed his groups opposition to dividing

the country into six regions a measure in
the draft constitution that would diminish
the resources under the Houthis control.
Yemeni law dictates that the parliament
speaker - Yahia al-Rai, a close ally of former
autocratic ruler Ali Abdullah Saleh will
now assume the presidency. Saleh, who
stepped down in 2012 a year after widespread street protests, still wields considerable power and is believed to be allied with

the Houthis.
The strong majority of people are
against Houthis expansionist move, said
political analyst Omar Abdel-Aziz.
Pressure from different regions on them
right now are mounting.
The Houthis were also confronted with
dissent from within their own ranks. Ali alBukhaiti, a prominent member of the
groups political arm, resigned Friday.

In a statement posted on his Facebook

page, al-Bukhaiti said the Houthis had
become the official authority in the country. He said he wanted to work as a mediator
to lessen the political polarization which
is transforming into a regional and sectarian polarization that threatens the whole
nation with fragmentation.
Even before the Houthis recent ascendance, a powerful movement in southern
Yemen was demanding autonomy or a return
to the full independence the region enjoyed
from 1967 to 1990. Southerners outrightly
reject rule by the Houthis, whose power
base is in the north.
On Friday, thousands of demonstrators in
the southern city of Aden raised the former
flag of Southern Yemen over the local airport and security headquarters building, witnesses said. Top officials in Aden and the
southern province of Shabwa both
announced that they would no longer follow
orders from the capital. Thousands more
protested against the Houthis coup in
several other cities, including Taiz, Ibb and
Houdida.
But tens of thousands also turned out in
the capital, Sanaa, in support of the
Houthis, converging on the airport road.
They raised green flags and banners proclaiming their slogan Death to America,
death to Israel, a curse on the Jews and victory to Islam a variation of a popular
Iranian slogan often chanted by Shiite militants in Iraq and supporters of Lebanons
Hezbollah.

U.S., Cuba end historic talks with more questions than answers
By Bradley Klapper
and Michael Weissenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAVANA After a euphoric month that

left Americans dreaming of holidays in
Havana and Cubans imagining U.S. products at their corner stores, the first real
effort at forging a new era was sobering:
Much bitter disagreement still stands in the
way of normal relations.
Negotiations between seasoned Cuban
diplomats and the highest-level U.S. delegation to visit the island in 35 years failed
to produce a single significant agreement
beyond the need for more talks. As

Roberta Jacobson, Americas top diplomat

for Latin America, told reporters, Its very
hard to say how exactly this will work.
The two days of discussions were hyped,
starting hours after President Barack Obama
declared in his State of the Union address
that the new engagement effort had the
potential to end a legacy of mistrust in our
hemisphere and provided new hope for
the future in Cuba.
Yet by Friday it appeared negotiators hadnt even advanced Obamas most basic
objective: restoring diplomatic ties
between the U. S. and President Raul
Castros government, with full-fledged
embassies in each others capitals.

for Cuba, and they know it.

Asked whether Cuba would allow U.S.
diplomats to go where they want, she said,
for Cuba, this consideration is associated
with better behavior.
At its most fundamental level, the U.S.Cuba divide comes down to separate visions
of where closer ties should lead.
Jacobson said the U.S. goal is a Cuba that
is free and democratic. Vidal outlined an
entirely different idea that of two states
with deep differences but no economic or
diplomatic restrictions, like the relationship the U.S. enjoys with China.
I dont see why it is that difficult to have

NEW YORK A batch of mixed

earnings reports Friday helped push
the stock market to its first day of
losses this week.
Shares of tissue and diaper maker
Kimberly-Clark dropped after the companys earnings fell short of expectations and it gave a disappointing outlook. Package-delivery service UPS
plunged after it cut its earnings forecast.
Strong growth in company earnings
have underpinned a bull run in stocks
that has stretched for nearly six years.
Earnings are still expected to keep rising, but the pace of growth is slowing,
and investors are looking for signs
that sales are up.
Our view is that the market is
poised to have a reset to reflect what
we think is a lower growth environment, said James Abate, chief investment officer of Centre Funds, an asset
management company.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
11. 33 points, or 0. 6 percent, to
2,051.82. The Dow Jones industrial
average slipped 141.38 points, or 0.8
percent, to 17,672.60. The Nasdaq
composite bucked the trend, gaining
7. 48 points, or 0. 2 percent, to
4,757.88.
Despite the fall, stocks ended with

their first weekly gain of the year.

Global stocks rose sharply on
Thursday after the European Central
Bank announced that it would buy 60
billion euros ($67 billion) of government and corporate bonds each month
at least through September 2016. The
1.1 trillion euro program signals the
willingness of the ECB to boost the
economies in the 19-nation euro currency alliance.
The ECBs stimulus was a big positive not just for Europe, but also the
U. S. , said Jerry Braakman, chief
investment officer of First American
Trust, in Santa Ana, California.
Stocks have wavered since the start
of the year on signs that growth outside of the U.S. was slowing. Many
investors worried that a pronounced
slowdown would eventually curb the
U.S. economic recovery.

market to continue, Braakman said.
For the week, the S&P 500 edged up
1.6 percent while he Dow rose 0.9 percent.
But on Friday, earnings from some
big-name companies weighed down
the market.
Kimberly-Clark reported a fourthquarter loss of $83 million. The company also forecast weaker sales in
2015. The stock dropped $7.33, or 6.2

percent, to $111.65.
UPS said it was hurt by the huge cost
of guaranteeing punctual deliveries
over the holidays. That forced the
shipping company to cut its outlook
for the year. UPS hired more workers
and boosted capacity at its facilities
during the busy holiday season to
avoid a repeat of 2013, when shippers
struggled with a deluge of orders. Its
stock slumped $11.32, or 10 percent,
to $102.93.
Oil has resumed its slump after stabilizing last week. Benchmark crude finished down 72 cents to $45.59 a barrel
on Friday. For the week, oil is also
down, extending a slump that has cut
the price by more than half since June.
As a result of oils fall, weaker
results from energy companies are
expected to hurt profits for S&P 500
companies in the fourth quarter. Still,
overall earnings are expected to grow
by 4.1 percent in that period, according to data from S&P Capital IQ. Thats
slower than the 4.9 percent increase a
year earlier. Revenue is expected to
rise 2 percent.
Still, not all earnings reports on
Friday disappointed.
Starbucks quarterly earnings soared
82 percent as the coffee chain attracted
more customers over the holidays,
thanks to its expanded food and drink
menu. The companys stock jumped
$5.48, or 6.6 percent, to $88.22.

Good times keep rolling at the pump

By Jonathan Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK At some point this will

end, perhaps even soon. The price of gasoline will not fall to zero.
But for the first time since 2009, most
Americans are paying less than $2 a gallon.
Just three months ago experts were shocked
when it fell under $3.
Its crazy, says Michael Noel, an economics professor at Texas Tech University
who studies oil and gasoline prices. But for
consumers its very, very good.
Consumers and the economies of the U.S.
and most of the rest of the world are basking
in the lowest prices for crude oil and gasoline in six years. U.S. crude oil traded Friday
just below $46 a barrel and the average price
for a gallon of gas was $2.04.
While there are some losers, such as oil
companies, the oil-producing states and the

oil-exporting countries that benefited from

$100 a barrel for four straight years, most
economists agree that the good outweighs
the bad.
The drop in prices is acting like an immediate tax cut for drivers, leaving them more
money to spend on other things. The
Energy Department predicts lower prices
this year will save a typical household $750
compared with last year.
Julia Conner paid $1. 98 a gallon
Thursday near her home in Wesley Chapel,
North Carolina. Saving on gas has made her
more willing to go out for lunch with coworkers at the animal care and control office
in Charlotte where she works, or out for dinner with her husband.
Pump prices have declined for a record
120 straight days, according to AAA,
though the size of the declines is shrinking
and the streak may soon end. But even if the
price rises this spring, as it typically does,
driving during summer travel season should

still cost less than it has in years.

Conner is hoping she can afford a 300mile roundtrip to Asheville, North
Carolina, or even further away, to
Tennessee, this summer. Even if its not
$1.98 that would definitely help as far as
vacation goes, she said.
Diane Swonk, chief economist at
Mesirow Financial, expects lower gasoline
prices to help the U.S. economy to grow
3.3 percent this year, the highest since the
economy grew at that pace in 2005. This is
one thing that hits the masses, not just a
minority of people, she says. Theres
some benefit for almost everyone.
Its also helping businesses with high
fuel bills.
Weve been able to increase our net profits, which has allowed us to reward our
employees with bonuses and also purchase
three new vehicles to replace older ones,
says Ricky Wingard, owner of Econ-O-Bug,
a pest control company in Lexington,

McDonalds earnings fall; changes afoot to woo customers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAK BROOK, Ill. McDonalds

isnt lovin it, and its going to do
something about it.
The worlds largest hamburger chain
reported falling earnings and sales for
its fourth quarter on Friday and says it
is going to take action this year to
save money and bring customers back.
This includes slowing down new
restaurant openings in some markets.
The Oak Brook, Illinois, companys
stock rose slightly in morning trading
because its earnings beat Wall Street
expectations.

An important sales measure fell in

all of McDonalds major markets
because of economic uncertainty, a
food-safety scandal in China and the
changing tastes of diners.
Chief Financial Officer Peter Bensen
said in a statement that McDonalds
has a 2015 capital expenditure plan of
about $2 billion and is targeting fewer
restaurant openings in its most challenged markets.
We believe this lower level of capital spending is prudent while we work
to regain our business momentum and
improve the sales and profitability at

our more than 36, 000 restaurants

around the world, he said.
For the period ended Dec. 31,
McDonalds earned $1.1 billion, or
$1.13 per share. That compares with
$1.4 billion, or $1.40 per share, a year
earlier.
Excluding 9 cents per share for a supplier issue, earnings were $1.22 per
share.
The results beat Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment
Research was for earnings of $1.20 per
share.

Expedia buys booking site Travelocity for $280M in cash

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Expedia has acquired

travel booking site Travelocity from
the Sabre Corp. for $280 million in
cash.
The deal adds to Expedias growing
portfolio of websites. The Bellevue,
Washington-company already owns
nearly a dozen travel sites including
Hotels.com, Hotwire and Egencia, the
worlds fifth-largest corporate travel

management company.
Consumers shouldnt notice any
change because of a deal already in
place. Since 2013, Expedia Inc. has
been powering Travelocitys U.S. and
Canadian websites and providing
Travelocity access to Expedia hotel
supply and customer service program.
The move allows Sabre to focus
more on its back-end system for selling airline tickets, hotel rooms and
car rentals. Sabre is one of three glob-

al distribution system companies

along with Travelport and Amadeus
that handle sales for travel agencies
and online booking sites like
Expedia.
Travelocity is one of the most recognized travel brands in North
America, offering thousands of travel
destinations to more than 20 million
travelers

South Carolina. His fleet of 22 vehicles

Southwest Airlines told investors
Thursday that it expects to save $1.7 billion on fuel costs this year.
Other beneficiaries of low oil prices
include some of the worlds biggest
economies, according to an analysis by
Moodys: China, the eurozone, and Japan.
Their gains will far outstrip the losses that
are pinching the budgets of exporting countries such as OPEC nations, Russia and
Norway.
Oil drillers that fueled a boom in U.S. production will suffer, along with states such as
Texas and North Dakota that rely heavily on
drilling activity. Oil service companies
have announced layoffs of thousands of
workers just in the past week, and the analysis firm Wood Mackenzie expects drilling
investment in North America to fall by $50
billion, or nearly 40 percent, over the next
year.

SkyMall files for bankruptcy
NEW YORK Apparently, airline passengers arent buying
enough garden gnomes, superhero pajamas and heated cat
shelters. SkyMall has filed for bankruptcy.
The quirky in-flight shopping catalog has been a mainstay
on airlines since 1989. Passengers with nowhere to go would
pull it from the seatback and flip through the pages. While

passengers have found other distractions. More planes have
seatback TV screens. The federal government now allows us to
keep Kindles and iPads on during the entire flight. And most
jets in the U.S. now have Wi-Fi meaning passengers can chat
with friends back home or actually do work.

Settlements reached in so-called hot fuel litigation

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Twenty-eight oil companies and

HMB pulls away to beat Terra Nova

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Half Moon Bay is proving an unstoppable force.

Even the raucous Friday-night quad environment of the notoriously loud gymnasium at archrival Terra Nova could not derail
the Half Moon Bay boys basketball teams
sensational season.

The Cougars (6-0 PAL North, 18-0 overall) remain unbeaten through 18 games this
season after a 59-41 win at Terra Nova (5-1,
12-5). Half Moon Bay center Austin Hilton
scored 29 points and grabbed eight
rebounds, both for game highs, as the
Cougars outrebounded the Tigers 31-14
throughout.

The stage was set for a wild night with the

rivals entering into play deadlocked atop
the Peninsula Athletic League North
Division. With the win, Half Moon Bay
takes over sole possession of first place,
which had junior forward Tommy Nuo
alluding to the playoff atmosphere his team
is destined to entertain later this year.

We rebound, we score, Hilton said. So,

thats always a big part of the game for us.

[The win] was needed, definitely, Nuo

said. Its a good experience for us. Its a

loud gym. It will help us for later in the season.

After both teams struggled from the field
early, Half Moon Bay led by a narrow 23-22
margin at halftime. But the Cougars
outscored the Tigers 22-8 in the third quarter
and continued to throttle towards victory in
the fourth.

Mills takes down Cap ends in tie

By Terry Bernal

It appears the Mills girls basketball team

is growing up.
Despite starting just one senior, a junior,
two sophomores and a freshman, the
Vikings are learning what it takes to win in
the Peninsula Athletic Leagues South
Division.
The Vikings faced a daunting task this
week: Wednesday, they took on a first-place
Hillsdale team and beat them 33-29. Friday,
they took on another first-place squad
Capuchino and again came out on the
winning end, beating the Mustangs 38-33.
This is a big win for us, said Mills
coach Dave Matsu. We were looking for a
split (this week). To say wed go 2-0, I
wouldnt think that.
Not only did Mills (4-2 PAL South, 10-9
overall) go 2-0 this past week, the Vikings
have now won four straight PAL South
games and five in a row overall.
You can all but see the young Vikings
growing up in front of your eyes. Friday,
the youngsters displayed a tenacity and
aggressiveness that before now was missing. Early in the season, it appeared everyone on the team was looking to get the ball
into the hands of three-year post player,
junior Julia Gibbs, or sophomore wing
player Aubrie Businger.
Now, the younger, inexperienced players
are looking to get theirs. Lauryn Shek, a
freshman guard, scored only six points, but
four of those came right off the bat with
back-to-back buckets in the first quarter.
Ryzza Sabado, a sophomore guard, finished
with seven points, all coming in the second
half.
Now we have the freshman engaged. We
have the sophomore engaged, Matsu said.
We know Gibbs and Businger do what they
do, but now Shek and Sabado have stepped
up.
As Matsu put it, Fridays win was a total
team effort and the Vikings needed everyones contributions Friday as the held off
Capuchino (4-2, 9-8) down the stretch.
The Mustangs were looking at tough
climb following a 2-point third quarter that

What started as a defensive standoff ended

in a shootout as Carlmont and South City
boys soccer ultimately drew to a 1-1 tie
Friday at Clifford Field.
After a scoreless tie at halftime both
teams combined for just one corner kick
through the opening 40 minutes South
Citys attack heated up to start the second
half. The Warriors (3-2-1 PAL Bay, 4-5-3
overall) had three early chances, including a
shot from close range off the upright by
Gerardo Moran in the 51st minute; later,
Rafael Vieyras high, close-range bullet off
the hands of Carlmont keeper Jacob Segal
winged just over goal.
But it was Carlmont (3-2-1, 5-6-1) that
struck first on a free kick in the 70th minute
on what amounted to part fluke, part pepper.
Scots junior John Bran took the long free
kick from 40 yards out. Brad peppered a low
liner that cleared a wall of South City defenders untouched. The Warriors goalie Ramon
Padilla seemed to have a read on the ball, but
as he stepped up to receive it, the shot spun
off his hands, through his legs and into goal.
Heartbreaking goal to watch, South City
head coach Daniel Perez said. Hes a freshman and weve had a lot of time to work with
him. Hes just getting experience here at the
varsity level.
Padilla is a freshman, but a trusted one. He
has played goalie nonstop since he was a 10year-old with the San Bruno Earthquakes of
the Catholic Youth Organization. Since winning the varsity keepers job at the outset of
the season, Padilla has started every game.
Excruciating as it was for Perez to watch
his freshman commit something of a guffaw,
the evident anguish of Padillas reaction was
even worse.
There was a lot of ball movement and I
didnt really know how to react to it, Padilla
said. I got to it too quick. I wasnt thinking.
But Padillas teammates rallied back with a
late goal to forgive the miscue.

Vogelsong, Giants agree to one-year, $4M deal

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Ryan Vogelsong visited the Houston Astros this week and had an
uncomfortable feeling about how he might
fit in, and he had discussions with other
teams during the course of this offseason.
Each time, everything pointed him back to
the Bay Area and the Giants. His wife,
Nicole, loves it, too, and he said she kept
chirping in my ear every two seconds.

Ryan
Vogelsong

Vogelsong just needed

some patience as the
Giants figured out the rest
of their roster. The free
agent right-hander finalized a $4 million, oneyear contract Friday to
stay with San Francisco, a
deal includes an additional
$3 million in performance
bonuses.
When a decision came

down, everything kept leading me back to

San Francisco. Its where Im supposed to
be, Vogelsong said. Ive always considered
myself a Giant. Theres not really any place
Id rather play.
Vogelsong passed a physical and reached
the deal three days after general manager
Brian Sabean said the pitcher was close to
joining another team. Vogelsong met with
new Houston manager A.J. Hinch, but wouldnt be specific about what made him uneasy.
Some things happened I just wasnt com-

fortable with. Negotiations kind of broke

down after that, Vogelsong said. Time to
move on.
Vogelsong went 8-13 with a 4.00 ERA in
32 starts last season. The 37-year-old adds
depth to a rotation that features ace Madison
Bumgarner, Jake Peavy, Tim Hudson, Tim
Lincecum and Matt Cain, who is working
back from elbow surgery that ended his season in July. Vogelsong would likely start

Thompson makes All-Star statement with NBA record

Warriors 126, Kings 101

By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Klay Thompson scored the

most points in a quarter in NBA history, a 37point third period that powered the Golden
State Warriors to a 126-101 victory over the
Sacramento Kings on Friday night.
Thompson, who finished with a careerhigh 52 points, pleased the announced sellout crowd of 19,596 at rowdy Oracle Arena
with a performance that will long be remembered in the basketball-loving Bay Area. The
All-Star hopeful made all 13 shots, including
a league-record nine from 3-point range, and
hit both of his free throws during a 12-minute
span.
His streaky shooting touch helped the
Warriors (35-6) erase a sloppy showing for
its franchise-best 18th consecutive home
victory. Golden State became the 10th NBA

team to win at least 35

games halfway through a
season.
The last player to score
at least that many points
in a quarter was Carmelo
Anthony with 33 in 2008
while with Denver. Joe
Johnson held the previous
Klay Thompson mark for most 3s in a quarter, hitting eight for
Brooklyn in 2013.
A day after backcourt teammate Stephen
Curry received the most votes for the All-Star
game and coach Steve Kerr learned he would
lead the Western Conference in the showcase
game, Thompson let the world know he
expects to be right next to them at Madison
Square Garden on Feb. 15.

Thompson stunned Sacramento and just

about everyone in the building with a performance unlike any other in league lore. He
hit one I-cant-believe-he-just-made-that
basket after another including a 28-footer
and added an alley-oop from Curry on the
fastbreak just for good measure.
Thompson seemed to love every minute of
it, flapping his hands to the crowd every time
down court. At one point during a timeout, he
sat on the bench with his hands over his
head, staring at the scoreboard in disbelief.
Thompson scored 19 consecutive points
during one scintillating stretch, which ended
with him zipping a left-handed pass to
Draymond Green for a layup. Thompson left
to a standing ovation with 9:28 remaining in
the fourth quarter.
Thompson finished 16 of 25 from the floor
and 11 of 15 from long range.
Thompsons touch made sure the Warriors

matched the franchises highest win total

before the All-Star game. The defending
champion 1975-76 Warriors went 35-13
before the break and finished with a teambest record 59-23.
DeMarcus Cousins had 28 points and 11
rebounds in Sacramentos sixth straight loss.
Rudy Gay also was ejected in the second quarter, leaving the Kings (16-27) short-handed.
Golden State started with a flurry from long
range, going on a 22-2 run in the first six
minutes to build an 18-point lead. Kerr dug
deep into his bench early, and with secondunit anchor Andre Iguodala getting the night
off to rest, the Warriors had little punch off
the bench.
Sacramento sliced the deficit to just three
early in the second quarter, trailed only 56-51
at the half and briefly took the lead early in
the third quarter until Thompson took over.

Kobe to be re-examined before deciding injury fate

By Greg Beacham

LOS ANGELES Kobe Bryants torn

right rotator cuff will be re-examined
Monday before the Los Angeles Lakers
decide whether the superstar guard needs
potentially season-ending surgery.
Bryant was examined Friday in Los
Angeles after the third-leading scorer in
NBA history tore his rotator cuff Wednesday
in New Orleans.
A completely torn rotator cuff typically
requires surgery and several months of rehabilitation, which means Bryants 19th NBA

seasons also ended early due to injuries.
A partial tear sometimes can be managed

major injury for the third
straight season, his
famously resilient body
finally wearing down
from the accumulated
grind of nearly two
decades with the Lakers

He tore his Achilles tendon in April 2013,

Hes one of the toughest guys Ive ever
been around as far as dealing with injuries
and things like that, and being able to come

The 28-year-old lefty hitter batted .267 after the

Clinic on Monday, and theyll decide
whether Bryant should have surgery.
Bryant joked about the injury on his
Twitter account Friday: This is what happens when I pass too much!
Bryant was injured while throwing down a
two-handed dunk in the Lakers loss to the
Pelicans. He traveled home before the
Lakers played at San Antonio on Friday

night.
Bryant has sat out eight games in the last
month to rest, so the struggling Lakers (1231) have grown used to playing without
their top scorer.
Bryant felt shoulder pain at the beginning
of the season, but hadnt mentioned it lately. The Lakers believe Bryants torn rotator
cuff occurred on the dunk.
I said, Are you all right? Scott
recalled. He was like, Yeah, Im good, just
bothering me a little bit. Once I get warmed
up, Im fine. After that point, I never
thought about it.
Although the Lakers rested Bryant extensively this season to preserve the wear on
his high-mileage body, Scott still laments
playing Kobe for too many minutes in
early-season games. Bryant has been on a
strict 32-minute limit over the past month.

senior on the Carlmont roster received a yellow card in
the 77th minute and, as a result, had to sub out.
After the ensuing free kick from midfield, South City junior defender Alex Sanchez sent a long, booming pass into
the penalty box. Through traffic, junior forward Jerry
Barajas emerged with control. It was a borderline offside
play that drew out Segal from goal. Barajas reacted with a
dribble around Carlmonts keeper and scored with a clean
lob into an empty goal.
I just ran full speed and waited until my team kicked the
ball over so I could get no offside, Barajas said. I came in
and just put it over the goalie.
Despite each goalkeepers blemish, both dazzled with
some clutch and gutsy saves throughout.
Segal is in his second year as a varsity starter. Now a junior, he took over first-string duty near the start of last season when the Scots then-senior goalie broke his arm in a
skiing accident, according to Carlmont head coach Jodi
Beloff.
Beloff said she was happy with Segals performance
Friday.
Absolutely, she said. I have yet to see him underperform in the goal.
Despite South Citys late game-tying goal, Carlmont still
managed three chances in the closing minutes.
The first was in the 79th minute when Carlmont freshman
Noah Sanchez playing in just his second varsity game
after a recent call-up got around a South City defender for
a 1-on-1 matchup with Padilla. But Sanchez played the ball
forward, allowing the Warriors keeper to charge out of his
post and make a bold kick save just before Sanchez could
gain control.
I felt really good (after South City tied it), Padilla said.
I had a lot of energy after that. I wasnt going to let another [mistake] happen to me again.
Then in extra time, Bran had two opportunities. His first
was on another long free kick which Padilla covered.
Carlmont regained control with Bran finding an end-line
seam with a tight angle to goal. He was looking to pass but
no Scots were in the clear, so he took a shot himself with
Padilla closing and missed just off goal.
I took a good shot, Bran said. But the goalie was pretty good.
Despite the dramatic finish, Perez was underwhelmed with
the performance of his Warriors.
Considering how we played, it was good to come back

play that good. We had that error. It is what it is.
For a Scots team coming off a Wednesday victory against
El Camino, Beloff said she was optimistic Carlmont could
recover from its up-and-down season.
Hopefully were on the up-shoot at this point and today
was a good game, Beloff said. Im very happy with the
way they played today and with their performances.
Unfortunately we couldnt pull out the win but it happens.

Mr. Cub Ernie Banks dies at 83

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Hall of Fame slugger

Ernie Banks, the two-time MVP who
never lost his boundless enthusiasm
for baseball despite years of playing
on losing Chicago Cubs teams, died
Friday night. He was 83.
The
Cubs
an n o un ced
Banks death,
but did not provide a cause.
Mr. Cub hit
512 home runs
during his 19year
career,
including five
Ernie Banks seasons with 40
or more. He was
fond of saying, Its a great day for
baseball. Lets play two! That
remains a catchphrase at Wrigley
Field to this day.
Words cannot express how
important Ernie Banks will always
be to the Chicago Cubs, the city of
Chicago and Major League Baseball.
He was one of the greatest players of
all time, Cubs chairman Tom

Ricketts said in a statement. He was

a pioneer in the major leagues. And
more importantly, he was the
warmest and most sincere person
Ive ever known.
Approachable, ever optimistic
and kind hearted, Ernie Banks is and
always will be Mr. Cub. My family
and I grieve the loss of such a great
and good-hearted man, but we look
forward to celebrating Ernies life in
the days ahead.
Though he was an 11-time All-Star
from 1953-71, Banks never reached
the postseason, and the Cubs finished below .500 in all but six of his
seasons. Still, he was inducted into
the Hall of Fame in 1977, the first
year he was eligible, and selected to
baseballs All-Century team in 1999.
Banks infectious smile and nonstop good humor despite his teams
dismal record endeared him to
Chicago fans, who voted him the
best player in franchise history. One
famous admirer, Saturday Night
Live star Bill Murray, named his
son Homer Banks Murray.
Banks No. 14 was the first number
retired by the Cubs, and hangs from

the left-field foul pole at Wrigley

Field.
Id like to get to the last game of
the World Series at Wrigley Field and
hit three homers, he once said.
That was what I always wanted to
do.
Banks was playing for the Kansas
City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues
when the Cubs discovered him in
1953, and purchased his contract for
$10,000. He made his major league
debut at shortstop on Sept. 17 that
year, and three days later hit his first
home run.
Tall and thin, Banks didnt look
like a typical power hitter. He looked
even less so as he stood at the plate,
holding his bat high and wiggling it
as he waited for pitches. But he had
strong wrists and a smooth, quick
stroke, and he made hitting balls out
of the park look effortless.
When he switched to a lighter bat
before the 1955 season, his power
quickly became apparent. He hit 44
homers that season, including three
against the Pittsburgh Pirates on
Aug. 4. His five grand slams that
year established a major league

record that stood for more than 30

years before Don Mattingly hit six
in 1987.
Banks best season came in 1958,
when he hit .313 with 47 homers and
129 RBIs. Though the Cubs went 7282 and finished sixth in the National
League, Banks edged Willie Mays
and Hank Aaron for his first MVP
award. He was the first player from a
losing team to win the NL MVP.
Banks won the MVP again in
1959, becoming the first NL player
to win it in consecutive years, even
though the Cubs had another dismal
year. Banks hit .304 with 45 homers
and a league-leading 143 RBIs.
He led the NL in homers again in
1960 with 41, his fourth straight
season with 40 or more. His 248
homers from 1955-60 were the most
in the majors, topping even Aaron
and Mays.
Though Banks didnt break the 40homer barrier again after 1960, he
topped the 100-RBI mark three more
times, including 1969, his last full
season. Then 38, he hit .253 with 23
home runs and 106 RBIs, and was
chosen an All-Star for an 11th time.

Americas best hockey players in the spotlight

By Rusty Miller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio Some of the

best players in the world Sidney
Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and anybody
wearing a Detroit Red Wings or
Colorado Avalanche jersey will be
absent from the NHL All-Star game
on Sunday.
Yet the list of American-born talent at the game is longer than its
ever been.
When the sports best showcase
their talents, there will be nine U.S.
born and bred players. Its the largest
red, white and blue contingent since
the NHL went to this format in 2003.
That upsurge has been there, said
Nashville Predators coach Peter
Laviolette, born in Norwood,
Massachusetts, who will serve as a
head coach in the annual goal-fest
held for the first time this year in
Ohios capital city.
Theres good players all over the
world, there really is. But the U.S.
has definitely made strides and con-

tinues to make
strides.
The
native
sons
include
some of the
biggest names in
the
sport:
Chicago right
wing
Patrick
Kane
and
Patrick Kane
Columbus left
wing Nick Foligno (both from
Buffalo, New York), Toronto right
wing Phil Kessel and Minnesota
defenseman Ryan Suter (both from
Madison, Wisconsin), and others
such as Winnipeg defenseman Dustin
Byfuglien, St. Louis blue liner Kevin
Shattenkirk, Ottawa left wing Bobby
Ryan, Tampa Bay center Tyler
Johnson and Carolina defenseman
Justin Faulk.
Youre seeing a lot of great players start to come up now, said
Shattenkirk, one of the games best
young defensemen. Its been a great
few years for U.S. hockey. Its exciting to see that many guys here. We

do take a lot of pride in, I dont want

to say proving ourselves, but just
making sure that American hockey is
respected.
Consider that there were only
eight American players in each of the
past two All-Star games, in 2012 and
2011 (the 2013 games was canceled
due to a labor dispute and there was
no game last year because the Winter
Olympics). Before that, there were
seven U.S. players participating in
2009, three in 2008, five in both
2007 and 2004 and six in 2003.
Suter said the players grow up
together, play on national teams
together and those bonds remain
strong.
Youve played with a lot of them,
thats the big thing, either in the
world championships or the
Olympics or growing up with the
under-18s and under-17s, Suter said.
Thats where you build those relationships. When you see them
around at things like this, its a
familiarity thing.
On one of the NHLs biggest

15

Weekend Jan. 24-25, 2015

stages, much has been made of those

who are not participating.
Crosby and Malkin, both of the
Pittsburgh Penguins, are out due to
injuries. The Red Wings and
Avalanche do not have a representative for the same reason.
Marc-Andre Fleury, the Penguins
goaltender, will be the lone representative from one of the leagues highest-profile teams.
I dont think Im going to score
any goals, he said with a laugh,
when asked about having to replace
his missing teammates. I know
they talked about they wanted to be
here. Obviously theyre taking that
time to heal up. A little disappointed
to not have my teammates with me,
but Im trying to make the best out of
it.
Washington Capitals superstar
Alex Ovechkin, who led the NHL in
goals a year ago, is back for his fifth
All-Star game out of a possible
seven; Crosby, who came into the
league at the same time, has appeared
in only one.

saw them trail 36-19 going into the fourth
quarter. But Mercedes Holcomb gave them a
spark off the bench, scoring seven straight
points to start the fourth as the Mustangs
quickly climbed back into the game with a
10-0 run to start the final eight minutes.
This time it was Mills turn to struggle as
the Vikings managed only one bucket in the
final period although they had a pair of
Gibbs baskets wiped away due to an offball, offensive foul and a traveling call.
The Vikings also missed the front end of a
pair of 1-and-1 from the free throw line, but
the Mustangs could not take advantage.
We got off to a decent start, said

GIANTS

has said two-time NL Cy Young Award winner
Lincecum will begin the year in the rotation.
Bochy prefers right-hander Yusmeiro Petit as
a swingman out of the bullpen who can go
long in relief.
While the Giants pursued Jon Lester, they
never expected to land a top-tier starter in
free agency. Instead, they re-signed Peavy
and Vogelsong and built around a talented
pitching staff. San Francsico replaced departed third baseman Pablo Sandoval by acquiring Casey McGehee from Miami. New left
fielder Nori Aoki was added this week on a
$4.7 million, one-year contract.

Nova junior forward Jared Milch alone was
worth the price of admission for the capacity crowd, even with first-half foul trouble
causing each to miss valuable minutes.
The two juniors began sparring in the second quarter. Half Moon Bay took its first
lead of the game on a clutch offensive
rebound by Grant Harman, who dished to
Hilton to put the Cougars up 10-8. Then
Milch responded with a tremendous behindthe-back drive to the hoop; only a Nuo
foul could stop Milch who scored a teamhigh 17 points from scoring a showstopper lay-up.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Capuchino coach Mike Dozier. We stopped

scoring in the third quarter.
Mills was led by Gibbs, who finished
with 11 points. Businger added 10 points to
go with 14 rebounds.
Capuchinos Jordan Ramirez led her team
with 11 points, while Brianna Deckman
chipped in with 10 points and eight boards.
Mills was threatening to blow the game
open early as the Vikings started the game
on a 5-0 run before the Mustangs settled in.
Ramirez drained a 3-pointer to get
Capuchino on the scoreboard and after
Businger converted a three-point play for an
8-3 lead, the Mustangs got a steal and a
layup from Deckman, followed by a putback
from Ramirez to cut the Mills lead to 8-7.
By the end of the first, Mills maintained
that one-point cushion, leading 12-11.
The Mustangs took their only lead of the

game when Kanani Merafuentes opened the

second period with a fastbreak layup to put
her team up 13-12, but Mills responded by
scoring the next five points. It could have
been more, but the Vikings missed six
straight free throws to start the second.
Capuchino had its own woes from the free
throw line. Trailing 19-17, the Mustangs
missed a pair and then down 21-17, missed
two more to give Mills a 23-17 lead at halftime.
Mills really put the pressure on
Capuchino in the third quarter. The Vikings
scored 9-0 unanswered points to start the
second half including a three-point play
from Sabado to take a 32-17 lead with
4:13 to play in the third quarter.
A putback from Capuchinos Bella Lemalu
slowed Mills roll briefly, but a bucket from
Shek and a jumper from Sabado gave the

Vikings a 36-19 lead going into the fourth

quarter.
Capuchino made a run, but ultimately ran
out of time.
With five wins in a row, Matsu has seen
the demeanor of his team change since
opening PAL play with back-to-back losses.
I see it in practice. I see it in warm-ups.
The look in their eyes, Matsu said. Now,
theyre chomping at the bit in the team
room. In practice, they have so much more
confidence.
And that confidence is translating to
games.
For Dozier and the Mustangs, Fridays
loss will not shake their confidence.
I loved the mood in the locker room
(after the game), Dozier said. Theyre
ready to get back to practice tomorrow.

Vogelsong has spent the past four seasons

with San Francisco, winning World Series
titles in 2012 and 14. He made four postseason appearances last fall but didnt have a
decision.
He said some divine intervention was
involved this winter.
Sometimes patience is the best thing, he
said. It might be a little bit easier for me
because Im not looking to make the most
money, Im not looking to have my ego
stroked so to speak.
Hes been in a similar position before.
In December 2013, Vogelsong signed a $5
million, one-year contract a month after the
club didnt exercise a $6.5 million option.
That followed an injury-shortened 2013 season in which he went 4-6 with a 5.73 ERA in
19 starts and 103 2-3 innings. He broke two
bones in the right pinkie area of his pitching
hand and also dislocated a knuckle on a

swing May 20, 2013, and underwent surgery

the next day. He had five pins inserted in his
hand.
Vogelsong won 13 in 2011 and 14 the following year. He became one of baseballs
feel-good comeback stories in 2011, when
he made the All-Star team after joining the
Giants rotation first as a fill in for the
injured Barry Zito.
Vogelsong had toiled through three seasons in Japan before Triple-A stints in 2010
for Philadelphia and the los Angeles Angels.
In the Bay Area with the team that originally
drafted him in the fifth round in 1998,
Vogelsong became a front-line starter at last.
Invited to spring training in 2011 on a
minor league deal, he went on to win the
teams Willie Mac Award named for Hall
of Famer Willie McCovey and is voted on by
players, coaches and training staff for the
most inspirational Giants player on the field

and in the clubhouse. Vogelsong set a career

high for wins while going 13-7 with a 2.71
ERA in 30 games and 28 starts.
He then received an $8.3 million, two-year
contract in January 2012.
Vogelsong won three games during the
2012 postseason for the eventual World
Series champion Giants, including one during a 4-0 sweep of the Tigers for the teams
second championship in three years.
We appreciate Ryan signing back with
us, Sabean said. Hes been on our radar all
offseason, though we at times have pursued
other options, we know what Ryan has
brought to the table and his contributions
have not only been timely but I think contagious to the organization. I think some of
our consistency, the hallmark of success is
competition and depth, and he certainly has
created that by re-signing with us.

Nuo came right back at Milch by drawing a foul next time down court, Milchs
third of the game. On Terra Novas next possession, Milch drew a three-shot foul from
beyond the 3-point arc, Nuos third foul of
the game.
We both got into foul trouble but it was
fun, Nuo said. Hes a good player. It was
fun to guard him.
With Nuo subbing out until midway
through the third quarter, Half Moon Bay
turned to sophomore guard Andrew Saffold
to fill the void. Fill the void he did and
then some.
Nuo estimated it was the most minutes
Saffold has played this season, and the 5-10
guard electrified with nine points, four
steals and two assists. His most critical
shot of the game was the Cougars first field
goal of the second half, giving them a 26-

24 lead to set the landslide in motion.

He did really good, Nuo said. His
energy was really good. He just kept making plays so he stayed in.
Terra Nova point guard Gerald Colvin
who scored 11 points said the Tigers
knew entering into the game they had their
work cut out for them against Half Moon
Bays formidable post tandem of the 6-6
Hilton and 6-7 forward Case DuFrane.
We couldnt box out and in the second
half we couldnt knock down a shot to save
our life, Colvin said.
Colvin is already looking forward to the
rematch between the two rivals in the regular-season finale Feb. 13 at Half Moon Bay.
Were just going to keep moving forward, Colvin said. Its a new day, a new
game. And were going to see them again.
So, were going to make sure we box out,

work harder and dont give up.

Pro-Russian rebels
reject peace deal,
launchingoffensive
By Mstyslav Chernov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DONETSK, Ukraine ProRussian rebels in eastern Ukraine

rejected a previously signed peace
deal Friday and launched a new multipronged offensive
against
Ukrainian government troops,
upending recent European attempts
to mediate an end to the fighting.
The main separatist leader in the
rebellious Donetsk region vowed to
push Ukrainian soldiers out of the
area and said insurgents would not
take part in any more cease-fire
talks. Another rebel went even further, saying they would not abide
by a peace deal signed in
September.
Separatist leader Alexander
Zakharchenko said rebel fighters
went on the offensive to gain more
territory and forestall a Ukrainian
attack. He declared they would push
government troops to the border of
the Donetsk region and possibly
beyond.
Attempts to talk about a ceasefire will no longer be undertaken by
our side, Zakharchenko said.
The peace deal signed in
September in the Belarusian capital
of Minsk envisaged a cease-fire and
a pullout of heavy weapons from a

division line in eastern Ukraine. It

has been repeatedly violated by
both sides, and heavy artillery and
rocket barrages have increased the
civilian death toll in the last few
weeks.
Foreign ministers from Russia,
Ukraine, France and Germany
agreed Wednesday to revive that
division line, but fighting has continued unabated. The U.N. human
rights agency on Friday raised its
estimate of the conflicts overall
death toll to nearly 5,100 since
April.
The tentative peace deal forged
this week in Berlin called for
Ukrainian troops and Russianbacked separatists to pull back
their heavy arms 15 kilometers (9
miles) on either side of the line,
although there was no agreement
on a withdrawal of troops.
But rebel spokesman Eduard
Basurin threw that agreement into
doubt, saying the insurgents will
no longer consider the Minsk
agreement in the form it was
signed, although he added that
they will remain open for peace
talks.
Basurins bold statement contradicted the official position of
Russia, which has repeatedly
pledged respect for the Minsk

agreement, even though it has been
reluctant to meet its end of the deal,
which also requested the withdrawal
of foreign fighters and the monitoring of the Russian-Ukrainian border by the Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe.
Battles intensified last weekend
over Donetsk airport, a gleaming
showcase for the Euro 2012 soccer
championship that has been
reduced to rubble by months of
clashes. Rebels eventually took
control of its terminal. Fighting
has continued on its fringes.

Zakharchenko said rebel fighters

were advancing in three directions
in the Donetsk region and also
pressing their attack in two other
areas in the Luhansk region.
We will hit them until we reach
the border of Donetsk region, and
... if I see the danger for Donetsk
from any other city, I will destroy
this threat there, he said.
A top NATO official confirmed
that rebels had pushed west and
received reinforcements. U.S. Air
Force Gen. Philip Breedlove said
air-defense and electronic-warfare

equipment have been detected in

eastern Ukraine hardware that, in
the past, coincided with the incursion of Russian troops into
Ukraine.
A pro-Russian insurgency flared
up in April in the Donetsk and
Luhansk regions in eastern Ukraine
following Russias annexation of
Ukraines Crimean Peninsula.
Russia insists that it does not support the rebels, but Western military officials say the sheer number
of heavy weapons under rebel control belies that claim.

Looking like a
leader doesnt
make you one
By Emily Shen

eople have a vested interest in

being assertive. Its the easiest way
we can make our needs heard, and if
you dont advocate for yourself, no one
will. Neither option is the most desirable,
but technically, being
over-assertive is still
better than being a doormat.
But there are still pitfalls that come along
with being too assertive,
pitfalls that people seem
to underestimate. Ive
been seeing this a lot
among my own peers as
we gradually take on leadership roles and
transition into adulthood. Were getting to
that point where its up to us and not our
parents now to decide what we want, and
were still trying to figure out how best to
go about it. And so sometimes we overreach, crossing the line between assertion
and aggression. Were the annoying middle
school boys who enthusiastically overspray their cologne, completely and naively unaware of how it affects the people
around them.
Up until very recently, I didnt really get
it either. As someone who started debate as
a shy high school freshman, I was convinced after a year of silence in committee
that the only way to have your voice heard
was to scream it from the rooftops, stepping on as many people as it took to claw
your way to the podium. But after one year
of passivity and one year of trying too hard
to be aggressive, I think Ive finally
learned that in reality, neither is ideal
its all about balance.
In the kind of governmental simulations
I go to, every representative needs to
address the concerns of his/her constituents. Youre not acting in policy if you
dont talk at all because its your job to do
so. But as impressive as the hyper-aggressive power delegates may seem and as wellresearched and relevant as their ideas are,
theyre still not acting in policy by acting

Johnny Depp indulges his inner

clown in charmless Mortdecai
By Stephen Dalton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Any film credited with

its own mustache wrangler really should
have been much more fun than Johnny
Depps latest misfiring action-comedy.
Mostly set in contemporary England, but
aiming for the zingy retro feel of a vintage
Peter Sellers or Terry-Thomas feature from
the Swinging Sixties, Mortdecai is an
anachronistic mess that never succeeds in
re-creating the breezy tone or snappy
rhythm of the classic caper movies that it

aims to pastiche. Despite a heavyweight

cast and the solid directing skills of A-list
screenwriter David Koepp (Jurassic Park,
Panic Room, Spider-Man), this
charmless farce ends up as another black
mark on Depps recent track record of
patchy pet projects.
Mortdecai is based on the first in a
series of irreverent comic novels by Kyril
Bonfiglioli, a British author of Italian and
Slovenian heritage. Published in the
1970s, the books chronicle the amoral
antics of aristocratic British art dealer Lord
Charlie Mortdecai (Depp), who is aided on

his drink-sodden adventures by his thuggish but resourceful and sexually irresistible manservant Jock Strapp (Paul
Bettany).
Depp plays Mortdecai as a human Looney
Tunes character, a snobbish playboy narcissist so enamored of his comically absurd
new mustache that he risks driving his disapproving wife, Johanna (Gwyneth
Paltrow), to divorce. Teetering on the brink
of bankruptcy in his grand, stately home,
the disreputable gap-toothed rogue spots a

Dreams die hard in 2 Pianos 4 Hands

Ted (Darren Dunstan) and Richard (Christopher Tocco) recreate the stories of two piano
prodigies aiming for greatness in TheatreWorks production of 2 Pianos 4 Hands.

Becoming a truly great classical musician requires extraordinary talent and dedication. Without both of the latter, ones
dream of greatness wont come true.
Thats the hard lesson learned by young
Ted (Darren Dunstan) and Richard
(Christopher Tocco) in 2 Pianos 4
Hands, the autobiographical play with
music by Ted Dykstra and Richard
Greenblatt, presented by TheatreWorks.
Directed by Tom Frey, the two-act work
follows the boys journey from their first
piano lessons through harsh assessments
when theyre about to embark upon higher
training.

The two actors play all of the other characters, both male and female. Most of
those other characters are parents or
teachers, some more competent than others. The two also play smatterings of
music ranging from Bach, Beethoven,
Mozart and others to Rodgers & Hart,
Billy Joel and John Lennon.
The first few minutes go slowly as the
formally clad musicians get settled at the
two Steinway grand pianos that dominate
the stage, along with two large suspended
picture frames.
Things pick up after that as Ted and
Richard are about 9 years old when they
learn basics such as scales, chords and

Oscar snub, Razzie

nom, acting cred
By Mike Cidoni Lennox
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Yes, Jennifer Aniston would like to

thank the academy. But it wont be this year.
At long last, many critics saw Aniston fulfill potential
first revealed in 2002s art-house hit The Good Girl in
an even darker, more daring role in the drama Cake, in
which she plays a drug-addicted woman in chronic physical and emotional pain.
That performance earned the Friends star Golden
Globe and Critics Choice nominations, and this weekend, Anistons performance also is up for a Screen Actors
Guild award.
But the motion picture academy passed her by when it
announced its nominations last week.
On the day after failing to receive the Oscar nomination, the 45-year-old Aniston was promoting Cake,
which opens Friday, while sitting just inches away from
a poster touting her Oscar-worthy performance.
Well, theres `Oscar-worthy, the actress said, with a
grin. The truth is, this movie hasnt even come out yet,
she continued. I feel so lucky that any of that has even
happened on a movie that we started shooting not even a
year ago. We started April 3rd of last year. I couldnt ask
for more than that.
But she has gotten at least a little bit more: The Golden
Raspberry Foundation, best known for its loving slams
of bad cinema with The Razzies, revealed a softer side last
week when it announced a new category, the Razzie
Redeemer Award, honoring former Razzie regulars who
now are doing work worth applauding.
Aniston is a Redeemer Award nominee, thanks to her
work in Cake.
Thats so nice, she said, sincerely. You get a Nice
Razzie.
While never a winner, Aniston is a four-time Razzie
nominee, primarily for roles in her string of generally
poorly reviewed, but often commercially successful,
romantic comedies.
Given how the rom-coms overwhelm her filmography,
Aniston said she wasnt surprised when Cake director
Daniel Barnz asked her to read for the emotionally complex role of Claire Simmons.
You start to lose trust in yourself that you can do
something such as that, Aniston explained. So you
actually start to say, `Does the industry actually know
something that I dont know? Can I do this?
Aniston gets to give at least one acceptance speech for
her performance in Cake. Just a week after Sundays
SAG Awards, the actress will head some 90 miles north of
Hollywood to accept the Santa Barbara International
Film Festivals Montecito Award.
Its been 25 years that Ive been lucky enough to make
a living doing what I love to do, Aniston said. So, to
keep having surprises and to keep surprising myself is so
exciting. And I just want to do more of that.

As Claire Simmons, Jennifer Aniston has facial scars, stringy hair and a slightly frumpier frame in Cake.

A deglamorized Jennifer
Aniston in the drab Cake
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Ah, to de-glam. Its

one of the surest shortcuts to newfound
artistic appreciation: a bedraggled deviation into dowdy drama by a beautiful
star. Acclaim by way of sweatpants.
Cake, in which Jennifer Aniston
plays a bitterly grieving, caustically
acerbic and chronically pained Los
Angeles woman, belongs to a contrived
kind of low-budget movie drab and
depressed, but predictably poignant
just as artificial as any blockbuster convention.
As Claire Simmons, Aniston has
facial scars, stringy hair and a slightly
frumpier frame. But this is also a very
recognizable Aniston, whose deserved
appeal has always depended on marrying her pert all-American girl-next-door
with a glib sarcasm. In Cake, she has
turned up her cynicism nob as far as it
will go.
She lives largely holed up in her handsomely designed suburban L.A. home,
popping pills, struggling with sleep-

lessness and haunted by appearances of

a friend (Anna Kendrick) from her selfhelp group who committed suicide by
leaping from a highway overpass. Way
to go, Nina! Claire announces to the
group, prompting its leader (Felicity
Huffman) to show her the door.
Claires
Mexican
housekeeper
Silvana (an exceptional Adriana
Barraza) cooks food she wont eat and
shuttles her around town, usually in the
pursuit of more pills. Claire lies reclined
in the passenger seat, laid flat by back
pain from the vaguely referenced car
crash that left her scarred. Whatever the
particulars, the accidents trauma is
eventually clear enough: Claire lost her
son in it.
She crankily putters around, lashing
out at most, lonely from the absence of
her husband (Chris Messina), who, like
everyone else, tired of her hostile moping. All but Silvana have deserted her.
The audience is tested, too. Cake,
directed by Daniel Barnz from a screenplay by Patrick Tobin, is in many ways
less about Claires threshold for pain
than our tolerance for hers. In one

telling scene with her fed-up physical

therapist (Mamie Gummer), Claire confronts her, insisting that her pain isnt
an act, its real. The therapist responds
with a question: Do you want to get better, really?
The film very slowly builds to the
always-expected catharsis. Barnz hides
all images of Claires son until one late,
crushing jolt of pathos, a decision that
could be said to be manipulative. But the
blankness to Claires history also
reflects the point of the film: We dont
see the wounds people are carrying
around, even in the broad daylight of the
California sun. Would we have stuck it
out with Claire?
But by never fleshing out Claires
life, Cake never expands beyond a
wallowing in pain, which starts to feel
more and more like a concept rather than
a deep emotion.
Cake is fine enough, though neither
as funny nor as powerful as it thinks it
is. Yet its a failure of todays movies
that the only pathway to serious

comedian Paul Whitehouse. Depp has previously guested on Whitehouses longrunning BBC sketch comedy The Fast
Show, and frequently offers him supporting roles in his film projects, including
this one. Here he plays Mortdecais colorfully foul-mouthed car mechanic, who also
has a shady sideline fencing stolen artworks.
Mortdecai is stuffed with star names
and classic farce ingredients, but its fatal
flaw is an almost surreal lack of jokes. The
main players spend almost every scene

he or she is doing. A leader isnt someone
who makes big promises but isnt able to

makes big speeches with big words in them
that actually dont mean anything at all.

to understand the idea that appearance isnt
everything. Sometimes it will be
inevitable. But remember that the best
leaders arent the ones who care about
showing their power more than doing
something useful with it.

While Depps fruity English accent is

palatable enough, McGregors smarmy
approximation sounds forced and unconvincing. Only Paltrow emerges from this
farrago with any real acting credit, playing Johanna with straight-faced understatement while all around her are losing
their heads.
On the page, Mortdecai and Strapp are
clearly uncouth cousins of P. G.
Wodehouses Jeeves and Wooster. On
screen, their boorish mannerisms and
retro attitudes owe more to Austin Powers.
But while Mike Myers found rich humor in
the gap between a chauvinistic past and
politically correct present, much of the
labored comedy in Mortdecai relies on
dated stereotypes unredeemed by any hint
of post-modern irony. Women are insatiable nymphomaniacs who enjoy being

THE DAILY JOURNAL

These caricatures are too crude to be offensive, but also too stale and lazy to be
funny.
The final set piece, which takes place at
an upmarket London art auction house,
brings all the characters and subplots
together in an orgy of cartoonish violence
and triple-cross deceptions that quickly
becomes tiresome. For all its minor
offenses against taste and decency, the
sole unforgivable sin that Mortdecai
commits is one that would leave its rakish
anti-hero aghast. Because the film that
bears his name is ultimately a frightful,
crashing bore.
Mortdecai, a Lionsgate release, is
rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for some language and sexual
material. Running time: 106 minutes.
MPAA definition for R: Restricted.
Under 17 requires accompanying parent or
adult guardian.
Although they specifically deal with
classical piano, the plays themes could
apply to other types of music, especially
classical, as well as other arts and even
sports, where only the most gifted and
talented have a chance of reaching the
top.
By extension, the themes could work in
other professions and aspects of life.
Hence, the play makes for a satisfying
evening of theater and music.

St. Lawrence String Quartet takes on John Adams

Continued from page 19

By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

recognition for an actress like Aniston is by suffocating her

buoyant charm. Shes a sly comedic performer with a keen
sense of timing and an inherent likability that a decade of
perpetual tabloid obsession has failed to smother.
So where are the smart, witty romantic comedies she
deserves? Instead, Aniston has been left to strip in Were
the Millers and play the sexy dominatrix of two Horrible
Bosses movies. No wonder shes so bent out of shape in
Cake.

Joseph Haydn wrote some 68 string

quartets. Ludwig van Beethoven wrote
16. John Adams is up to two numbered
quartets. One of each was heard from
the St. Lawrence String Quartet at
Stanfords Bing Concert Hall on
Sunday.
The St. Lawrence ensemble has been
celebrating its 25th anniversary by
commissioning new quartets and playing them at its Stanford Live concerts,
sandwiched in between works by the
old masters like Haydn and Beethoven.
This Sunday was John Adams turn,
with his Second Quartet.
Mr. Adams, 67, of Berkeley, is a
Pulitzer Prize-winning composer
famous for his operas such as Doctor
Atomic and The Death of
Klinghoffer. He also wrote his First
Quartet for the St. Lawrence, and has
collaborated with them on other projects too.
Speaking before the performance, he
told of his new piece being inspired by
his love of Beethoven, and of his
charge to the players to make it
weird. He must have been disappointed. This was one of the least weird
pieces of new music Ive heard in a
long time. It was far less a bag of compositional tricks than was his First
Quartet.
It did, at least, sound a lot like
Beethoven, and yet like Adams, too.
Adams thinks in chords, and is the heir
to minimalist choppiness. Much of
the work consisted of a succession of
short-breathed phrases for two to four
instruments. The harmonies were rich,
consonant and typical of Beethoven.
The combination of postmodern
phrasing and classical harmonies was
unusual and a little disconcerting

and Lesley Robertson.
maybe thats what was supposed to be
weird about it but it was also deeply
comforting and secure.
This was not a harsh piece of music,
nor was it strikingly varied. Its 22
minutes long, and in two movements,
the second in two parts. Despite varying tempos, all the sections maintained the same feeling. The music did
have the vitality that the composer
loves in Beethoven. It also maintained
an air of continuous seriousness.
So did Beethovens own Quartet in
C-sharp Minor, Op. 131. Its a huge
work of seven movements, all played
without pause. The St. Lawrence gave
it seriously, even solemnly, with a
minimum of drama or aggression. The
transitions between movements disappeared in the ocean of the weight of
late Beethoven.
Only in the scherzo near the end, and
in the biting finale, did a sense of the
violent punch of Beethovens muse
begin to emerge, but then it was over.
Haydns Quartet in F Minor, Op. 20,
No. 5, was a bit different. This is a
dark-toned early work that closes with

a double fugue. There was high seriousness here, too, but also something
else.
Like many quartets, especially early
ones, Haydns is a display piece for the
first violin. Geoff Nuttall, one of the
most energetic and extroverted violinists around, took this bull and rode it.
He played with decorations, he pushed
and pulled the expression, he touched
the bow to the strings to produce a
tone like an imitation of harmonics,
the high ghostly sounds that emerge
when the bow is held lightly enough.
The other players violinist Mark
Fewer, violist Lesley Robertson, and
cellist Christopher Costanza were
all also consistently excellent. They
came together winningly as an ensemble, a discipline most appreciated in
Adams chordal phrases.
The St. Lawrences third and final
new composition of the season is by
Stanford
composer
Jaroslaw
Kapuscinski and will be performed
Sunday, April 12, along with works by
Haydn and 20th-century composer
Erwin Schulhoff.

expire in two days, and Ive now missed three

they made all the necessary arrangements for
the expected swell of applicants.
We needed to have additional processing
space so that this wasnt going to create a
significant impact on who werent applying

Artemio Armenta, a public affairs officer for

The additional space was created using four

The four processing centers are walk-ins
and appointments. But theres a catch, the

appointment. We cannot have walk-ins for
original license applications, said Armenta.
And that seems to be the cause for most of

were there to either renew or apply for new
drivers licenses, none of them had made an

According to the DMV, thats significantly

million extra license applications and tests
within the next three years.
For many waiting in long lines across the
state, though, it appears little has been done.
Im only here for a printout, so I didnt

BOX

I think this is going to be a short-term

pop in Boxs stock price, Hamadeh said.
What you are seeing is a lot of buying by
doctors, lawyers and dentists who just
know Boxs name and didnt pay any attention to the financials. And the financials
are horrendous.
Since college dropout Aaron Levie founded Box with his friend Dylan Smith in
2005, Box has accumulated $483 million
in uninterrupted losses, according to its
IPO filing. The company also warned
investors that it wont be making money
anytime soon.
Concerns about Boxs shaky finances
contributed to the companys decision to
postpone its IPO last July.
Investors now seem more intrigued with

year. The location is the citys gateway to
downtown.
Although Box focuses on selling online
storage services companies and government agencies, the company also offers
free, bare-bones accounts to consumers. All
told, 32 million people have Box accounts.
The wide usage of Boxs service probably
helped drum up more interest in the companys initial public offering, according to
Sam Hamadeh, who runs PrivCo, a firm that
tracks startups.

was significantly shorter.
Armenta said that the process for getting
the DMV ready for AB 60 applicants was
daunting, with multiple setups needed across

almost every DMV site in the state, including new touchscreen testing computers and
added services.
Just imagine the task! he said.

Boxs pioneering role in online storage

part of a phenomenon known as cloud computing. The demand to store documents,
photos and other digital content in remote
data centers so the material can be accessed
on an Internet-connected device has been
steadily rising as more people rely on
smartphones and tablets for their computing needs.
The leaders in this new environment are
being created right now, and there are a lot
of investors that recognize that, Levie,
30, said in a Friday interview.
Box is facing intense competition from
much-larger companies, including Google
Inc., Microsoft Corp., and Amazon.com
Inc., as well as a better-known online storage service, Dropbox.
Dropbox is considered to be among the

leading candidates to go public this year,

especially after investors embraced Boxs
IPO.
This validates that our market space is
on fire and ready to grow, said Yorgen
Edholm, CEO of Accellion, another online
storage service. The waters are looking
much warmer now and its only a matter of
time before the next competitor, ahem,
Dropbox jumps in.
Dropbox declined to comment in its IPO
plans. The San Francisco company was valued at $10 billion in its last round of
fundraising last year.
Levie, who remains Boxs CEO, was
among the biggest winners Friday. He owns
nearly 4.1 million shares, now worth $95
million.

WEEKEND JOURNAL

SIMMS
Continued from page 1
officials are examining whether to
place a bond measure on the fall ballot,
which would fund building more
school facilities to address growing
enrollment.
She headed the district during the
failure of Measure P in 2013, a $130
million bond proposal, which received
46.6 percent approval, short of the 55
percent threshold that would have been
necessary for passage.
The district has formed the Next
Steps Advisory Committee to increase
collaboration and communication
between the cities of Foster City and
San Mateo, while considering whether
it would be feasible to ask voters to
sponsor another bond measure.
Bonini and Ng both praised Simms
ability to foster alliances with officials in Foster City and San Mateo.
Shes worked really hard to build
relationships with city, county and
state leaders, said Bonini.
But critics of Measure P cited concerns regarding a perceived lack of
communication between the district
and its member cities.
San Mateo Councilman David Lim,
who opposed the bond measure prior
to its failure, at times had a contentious relationship with Simms.
Weeks before the 2013 fall election,

traditional sports, Tula Tzartzanis said
she is thrilled to travel with her mom
to attend dog shows.
My favorite thing about working
with [Madison] is that I get to play
with her and show her and have fun,
Tula Tzartzanis said. I like traveling
with my mom and I like having fun
with Maddy. And I also really like
hanging out at the dog show and looking at the vendors and showing a whippet.
Madison, the 26-pound purebred
gray brindle whippet, looks similar to
a greyhound and is distinct among the
rest of the Tzartzanis canines.
Malina Tzartzanis has had a longstanding love affair with German
shorthaired pointers, a breed shes
worked with for more than 30 years.
Malina Tzartzanis said she also competed in the junior showmanship circuit before earning a degree in animal

Simms infamously denied a handshake

offer from Lim, allegedly due to the
councilmans recommendation that the
San Mateo City Council not support
Measure P.
Lim said Friday that though he may
have felt that the district did not share
its message effectively in the past, the
relationship has been mended recently.
I felt that San Mateo didnt receive
enough communication from the district, Lim said. But shes definitely
leaving the district in a good place.
Simms said Friday the failure of
Measure P was her greatest regret during her tenure.
In hindsight, we really needed to
engage more people in that conversation, she said. That would have been
something that I would have liked to
change, if I could go back and change
science, working as a professional
handler, training guide dogs and now
breeding purebreds every few years.
Its just these amazing life experiences that I had that Im now passing
on to my daughter. One is obviously
responsibility and independence,
learning to take care of dogs animal
husbandry we call it and traveling,
said Malina Tzartzanis.
Tula Tzartzanis concurred one of her
favorite aspects of participating in the
sport is traveling in the familys RV to
dog shows; so much so, sometimes
sticking around at home becomes a little mundane.
Its a nice thing to do on the weekends. When its just a stay-at-home
weekend and Im not planning on anything, I kind of feel a little disappointed that we cant have a dog show, Tula
Tzartzanis said.
Outside of taking care of and practicing with Madison, Tula Tzartzanis said
she also enjoys teaching the familys
German shorthaired pointers a thing or
two.
Shake, sit, lie down and roll over are
now among the hunting dogs vocabu-

something.
Simms will remain with the district
through the boards decision whether
to approach voters in the elementary
school district again for another bond
measure.
Should the school board elect to
place a bond measure on the fall ballot,
members would need to pass a resolution prior to July, which is when
Simms is to retire.
But board members are not concerned about the timing of Simms
departure before district residents have
an opportunity to vote on a bond
measure, should it be placed on the ballot.
There will be enough time for the
new superintendent to work with us,
said Bonini. The new superintendent
will have a chance to ramp up and work
with us to pass this bond.
The board will likely address the
beginning phases of the search
process at its next meeting Thursday,
Feb. 5.
I appreciate her letting us know
now, so that we can start the process of
looking for another superintendent,
Bonini said.
Ng said the board will discuss contracting with a third-party firm that
would conduct a search for potential
candidates to replace Simms.

lary and Tula Tzartzanis is fascinated
by the animals intelligence.
I can see how theyre learning the
tricks and they kind of get a little
smarter, Tula Tzartzanis said. When a
teacher is teaching somebody, the kids
learn something and its kind of like
the dogs when handlers train them to
do something.
Malina Tzartzanis said shes proud of
her daughters accomplishments and
passion for the sport.
Tula I think just adores animals like
I do. She takes after me and I think its
just her love of dogs and she thinks
its fun traveling. We do get to spend a
lot of time together. And its really
amazing to watch your daughter do
what you used to do, Malina
Tzartzanis said. It can be emotional
and Im really pleased she wants to do
this. I didnt force her, its up to her
and I think she really has a love for the
dogs and shes getting good at it. She
just has a skill for it.

ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Robert C. Vanoorschot, Jr.
Case Number: 15PR0012
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Robert C. Vanoorschot,
Jr., a.k.a. Bob Vanoorschot. A Petition
for Probate has been filed by Robin
Lynne Ramus in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Luis Obispo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Robin Lynne Ramus be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: 02/24/15 at 9:00
a.m., Dept. 1, Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, 1035
Palm St., San Luis Obispo, CA 93408. If
you object to the granting of the petition,
you should appear at the hearing and
state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.
Your appearance may be in person or by
your attorney. If you are a creditor or a
contingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date
of first issuance of letters to a general
personal representative, as defined in
section 58(b) of the California Probate
Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of
mailing or personal delivery to you of a
notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your
rights as a creditor. You may want to
consult with an attorney knowledgeable
in California law. You may examine the
file kept by the court. If you are a person
interested in the estate, you may file with
the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory
and appraisal of estate assets or of any
petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is available from the
court clerk.
