Plans for next years Super Bowl kicking off

San Mateo County officials and organizers set sights on coming crowd in 2016
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With eager fans loading up on

chips, dips and brewskies for this
weekends big game, San Mateo
County officials are gearing up for
the 2016 Super Bowl set to draw
thousands to the Peninsula.
As Santa Claras new Levis
Stadium is set to host the 50th

facing 10 new
felony counts

Super Bowl, locals are hopeful of

attracting big crowds that will
need places to eat, sleep and spectate as they indulge in one of the
nations most beloved pastimes.
While fans are still a long ways
from knowing who to root for during the 2016 game, officials says
its critical to start planning for
the influx of visitors now.
Its not just the people going

into the stadium to watch the

Super Bowl, theres people that
just want to be part of the excitement and all of these people are
going to be looking for things to
do, things to see, they want to be
part of the picture, said Anne
LeClair, president of the San
Mateo County Silicon Valley
Convention and Visitors Bureau.
With this Super Bowl now in

everyones mind, [next years

is] just starting to heat up and Im
sure its going to be gaining lots
of momentum. People are very
excited.
From hotel rooms and transit to
viewing parties and specialty
restaurant menus, LeClair said
planning for next years big event
now is critical.
Feb. 23 marks the start of the

50-week countdown to Super Bowl

50 and LeClair said thats when
things will really begin to kick
off.
LeClair said the bureau is excited
to work with local businesses and
cities on generating ideas and promoting football-themed events.

peoples lives that are forever

So the whole message is slow
down, pay attention, drive safely

A large-scale plan to overhaul

and beautify downtown South San
Francisco received unanimous City
Council approval Wednesday
night amid concerns that the project may drive up prices and force
longtime residents out of town.
The Downtown Station Area
Specific Plan, took three years of
planning and proposes building a
new, more vibrant, transit-oriented and family-friendly downtown
region within half a mile of the
Caltrain station on and around
Grand Avenue.
Over the proposed 20-year life
span of the redesign effort, the city
is hoping to add roughly 1,400
new housing units, some of which
are intended to be part of the
mixed-use residential development
thats targeted to add more highdensity housing opportunities
downtown.
But some residents are concerned
that with the new housing opportunities will come the exorbitant
rental rates currently plaguing the
region, and causing some families
to relocate.
Gustavo Lopez, a former South
San Francisco resident, advocated
for the council to consider implementing policy that controlled
rents in the new downtown area.
We should have policies enacted that are going to keep people
here, he said.
Lopez, who said he had to move
from South San Francisco when
his rent became too expensive,
implored city officials to not cave
to pressure of builders from outside
of the area who desire to capitalize
on ever-increasing rental rates
across the Bay Area without con-

Sedillo was charged with her

Redwood City makes way for charters

Schools to be spread across district, but some still harbor reservations
By Austin Walsh

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The decision to grant two charter schools

classrooms on Redwood City Elementary
School District campuses next year is
being made with measured enthusiasm.
The district Board of Trustees unanimously approved allowing KIPP Excelencia
Preparatory to move into Kennedy Middle
Rocketship
and splitting
School,
Education between Hoover and Taft elementary schools.
But some district leaders are not enthusiastic about the approval made Wednesday
night at the board meeting to co-locate the
charters on campuses of existing district
schools.
To be honest, this is not ideal. This is
not something Im thrilled about doing,
said board President Dennis McBride. We
did not choose the charters, but we did what
we had to do.
His sentiment is shared by other officials, who cite a state mandate that the district accommodate charter schools.
State law requires public school districts
to allow charter schools on the campus of
existing facilities, so long as they have
classrooms to offer.
Superintendent Jan Christensen recommended the board approve the charters, on
the grounds that the district cannot cite
financial hardships to deny their admission.
McBride said though the nine classrooms
on Kennedy Middle School campus that
KIPP will occupy do not currently host district students, the spaces were still used for
a variety of educational programs.
Some of the classrooms host after-school
language classes designed to help parents
learn to speak English, others are home to
reading development programs, and more

are
music rooms or space for professional
development.
McBride said he has faith that Principal
David Paliughi will find a way to make
room for the charter school to the best of
his ability.
In a perfect world, I wouldnt want them
on a campus, said McBride.
Roughly 60 parents from the Kennedy
community sent McBride emails, expressing their concern about sending elementary
students from the charter school to the middle school campus.
The campus will need to coordinate class
schedules to keep the students separate,
despite their shared facilities.
Kevin Sugar, president of the Redwood
City Teachers Association, said he has
heard frustrations from members of the district who might harbor ill will toward members of the charter community.
Residents living near the middle school
expressed concern to board members about
the impact that additional traffic would
have on the surrounding neighborhood,
said McBride.
Kyle Shaffer, principal of KIPP, said he
wanted to work with the district and existing community in Redwood City to ensure
the relationship was amicable.
We look forward to working the
Kennedy community and the school district
to make things work as best as possible,
he said.
Shaffer said the KIPP program has a successful history of co-locating on other public school campuses across the Bay Area.

Both Rocketship and KIPP are networks

of schools focusing on low-income communities. KIPP had proposed to serve the
North Fair Oaks community in Redwood
City, but the district administration recommended placing the charter at Kennedy for
lack of available classroom space across
the district.
Connect Community Charter School
already serves the North Fair Oaks community from the campus of Fair Oaks
Elementary School.
Trustees also agreed to divide the 400 students projected to enroll in the Rocketship
charter between Taft and Hoover elementary
schools next year, until the school is able
to transition onto the property it purchased
at 860 Charter St.
David Kuizenga, Bay Area vice president
of Rocketship Education, said in an email
that the decision to send the charter students to different campuses is not an ideal
solution, but the charter intends to work
through the temporary adversity.
Locating Rocketship at two campuses
has caused concern for some families and
will result in challenges but we are committed to working collaboratively with the district to finalize details of the offer and to
develop a workable solution, he said.
The district may consider relocating KIPP
after next year, when the departure of
Rocketship grants more facility flexibility.

Defense attorney wants DA

to give up Sunny Day case
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A defense attorney in the Sunny Day

case has asked Attorney General Kamala
Harris to take over its prosecution based on
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe initially seeking the death penalty in the high-profile gang murder case.
Paul DeMeester, who represents Roberto
Bustos-Montes, claims Wagstaffe needlessly used the case as a tool in his personal
political crusade in favor of the death penalty.
The District Attorneys Office had considered the death penalty against nine Sunny
Day suspects but is now seeking life in
prison sentences.
Wagstaffe told the Daily Journal Thursday,
however, that DeMeester is simply grandstanding and has made inaccurate and false
accusations against him.
DeMeester claims more than $500,000 in
taxpayer money was needlessly spent on the
capital penalty aspect of the case.
In January, Wagstaffe said that he would
not seek death for a third-strike gangmember, Raymond Louis Bradford, charged with
murder and other crimes in the Sunny Day
operation.
Bradford, 28, was the last defendant waiting to hear whether the county would seek
the death penalty against him.
Indictments came after an 18-month long
investigation and a two-month criminal
grand jury probe.
DeMeester sent a letter to the Attorney
Generals Office Thursday claiming
Wagstaffe had used the case for pure political gain, thereby disregarding his duty to
seek justice and a fair trial in the matter.
The crimes reportedly began when the Da
Vill and Sac Street gangs of East Palo Alto
teamed up against the Taliban gang of East
Palo Alto and Menlo Park. Between 2012

Frank Gehrke, chief of snow surveys for the California Department of Water Resources, measures
the snowpack in Phillips.

New survey shows far less

snow than last month in state
By Rich Pedroncelli
and Kristen J. Bender
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ECHO SUMMIT Californias second

snow survey this winter found the Sierra
Nevada snowpack is far below normal after a
dry, unusually warm January.
The survey on Thursday found a snowpack
water equivalent of just 2.3 inches in the
scant snowpack near Echo Summit, about
90 miles east of Sacramento.
It amounted to just 12 percent of the longterm average for this time of year at the
snow course.
The snowpack supplies about a third of
the water needed by state residents, agriculture and industry. A higher snowpack translates to more water for California reservoirs
to meet demand in summer and fall.

Frank Gehrke, chief of the California

Cooperative Snow Surveys Program, said
there were 7.1 inches of snow on the ground
Thursday.
During the first winter snow survey on
Dec. 30, there were 21.3 inches of snow on
the ground after heavy storms.
January did not bring any joy, Gehrke
said. In December at least we had some
(snowfall) whereas in January weve had
zilch. Clearly that is a big concern because

Some doctors wont see patients

that dont vaccinate children
By Alicia Chang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES With California

gripped by a measles outbreak, Dr.
Charles Goodman posted a clear notice
in his waiting room and on Facebook:
His practice will no longer see children whose parents wont get them
vaccinated.
Parents who choose not to give
measles shots, theyre not just putting
their kids at risk, but theyre also putting other kids at risk especially
kids in my waiting room, the Los
Angeles pediatrician said.
Its a sentiment echoed by a small
number of doctors who in recent years
have fired patients who continue to
believe debunked research linking vaccines to autism. They hope the strategy will lead parents to change their
minds; if that fails, they hope it will at
least reduce the risk to other children
in the office.
The tough-love approach which
comes amid the nations secondbiggest measles outbreak in at least 15
years, with at least 98 cases reported
since last month raises questions
about doctors ethical responsibilities. Most of the measles cases have
been traced directly or indirectly to
Disneyland in Southern California.
The American Academy of Pediatrics
says doctors should bring up the
importance of vaccinations during vis-

its but should respect a parents wishes
unless theres a significant risk to the
child.
In general, pediatricians should
avoid discharging patients from their
practices solely because a parent refuses to immunize his or her child,
according to guidelines issued by the
group.
However, if the relationship
between patient and doctor becomes
unworkable, the pediatrics academy

Tentative ruling: California

must adopt execution process
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO California must

adopt a new process for executing condemned inmates after nearly three
years of delays, a state judge ruled
Thursday in a lawsuit filed by crime
victims.
The tentative ruling by Sacramento
Superior Court Judge Shellyanne
Chang does not order the state to
resume executions, which have been on
hold since 2006. But she said corrections officials cant wait any longer to
find a new way to conduct executions if
they are reinstituted.
The lawsuit seeks to force state corrections officials to adopt procedures
for a single-drug, barbiturate-only
method of execution.
Chang found that the state

Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation has a duty to adopt execution procedures, but has the sole discretion to decide how the state will
carry out the death penalty.
The department said it has been drafting new lethal injection regulations,
without putting them into effect since
Gov. Jerry Brown said in April 2012
that the state would switch to a singledrug lethal injection.
No executions can occur until the
new rules are adopted by the department.
The department is reviewing the tentative ruling, said spokeswoman
Deborah Hoffman. She previously said
a nationwide shortage of execution
drugs is slowing the process.
Changs ruling will take effect unless
officials can change her mind after oral
arguments scheduled for Friday.

says, the doctor may want to encourage the vaccine refuser to go to another physician.
Some mothers who have been
dropped by their doctors feel betrayed
and upset, said Dotty Hagmier,
founder of the support group Moms in
Charge. She said these parents made up
their minds about vaccines after careful research and diligence to understand
the risks versus the benefits for their
own childrens circumstances.

Obama calls for spending surge, buoyed by economy

By Josh Lederman
and Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Declaring an end to

mindless austerity, President Barack
Obama called for a surge in government
spending Thursday, and asked Congress to
throw out the sweeping budget cuts both
parties agreed to four years ago when
deficits were spiraling out of control.
Obamas proposed $74 billion in added
spending about 7 percent would be
split about evenly between defense programs and the domestic side of the budget.
Although hes sought before to reverse the
sequester spending cuts, Obamas pitch
in this years budget comes with the added
oomph of an improving economy and big
recent declines in federal deficits.
Taking a defiant tone, Obama vowed not
to stand on the sidelines as he laid out his
opening offer to Congress during remarks
in Philadelphia, where House Democrats
were gathered for their annual retreat.
We need to stand up and go on offensive
and not be defensive about what we believe
in, Obama said. Mocking Republicans for

their leaders newfound interest in poverty

and the middle class, he questioned
whether they would back it up with substance when it mattered.
Republicans promise to produce a balanced budget blueprint this spring even as
they worry about Pentagon spending. The
Senates No. 2 Republican, John Cornyn
of Texas, dismissed the Obama proposals
as happy talk. And Sen. Pat Toomey of
Pennsylvania chided the president for
abandoning spending discipline.
GOP lawmakers are focused primarily on
reversing restraints on military spending,
while Democrats and Obama are seeking
new domestic dollars for education,
research, health care and infrastructure.
Republicans argue that spending more in
so many areas would undo the hard-fought
reductions in the countrys annual deficit.
They also oppose many of the tax hikes
Obama has proposed to pay for the
increased spending.
Neither party has tender feelings for the
sequester, which cut bluntly across the
entire federal budget and was originally
designed more as a threat than as an actual
spending plan.

Senate passes bill approving Keystone XL oil pipeline

By Dina Cappiello
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Republican-controlled Senate on Thursday approved a bipartisan bill to construct the Keystone XL oil
pipeline, defying a presidential veto threat
and setting up the first of many battles with
the White House over energy and the environment.
The 62-36 vote advanced a top priority of
the newly empowered GOP, and marked the
first time the Senate passed a bill authorizing the pipeline, despite numerous attempts
to force President Barack Obamas hand on
the issue. Nine Democrats joined with 53
Republicans to back the measure.

This bill is an important accomplishment for the country, said Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. We are
hoping the president upon reflection will
agree to sign on to a bill that the State
Department said could create up to 42,000
jobs and the State Department said creates
little to no impact on the environment.
Still the vote was short of the threshold
needed to override a veto, and the legislation
still must be reconciled with the version the
House passed.
We hope President Obama will now drop
his threat to veto this common-sense bill
that would strengthen our energy security
and create thousands and thousands of new,
good-paying American jobs, said House

Speaker John Boehner.

Most Democrats framed the bill as a gift to
a foreign oil company that would have little
benefit for the American people, because
much of the oil would be exported. They
tried and failed to get amendments on the
bill to construct the pipeline with U.S.
steel, ban exports of the oil and the products
refined from it, and protect water resources.
The Senate agreed to add an energy efficiency measure, and went on the record saying climate change was not a hoax and the
oil sands should be subject to a tax that
helps pay for oil spill cleanups. Oil sands
are currently exempt.
This bill is a disgrace, said Sen. Barbara
Boxer, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the

Senate environment committee. We tried

on our side to make this a better bill and
they turned us away.
TransCanada Corp., the pipelines developer, disputed the export argument
Thursday, saying it didnt make sense.
Those who argue this pipeline is for
export are not being factual, said Russ
Girling, president and CEO of TransCanada.
Its time to approve Keystone XL so we can
transport Canadian and American oil to fuel
the everyday lives of the American people.
In Philadelphia, anti-pipeline protesters
chanted outside a hotel where Obama was
addressing a retreat of Democratic lawmakers: Hey, Obama, we dont want no
Keystone drama.

Boy Scouts settle

suit over abuse H
By Gillian Flaccus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The Boy Scouts of

America settled a sex abuse case Thursday
involving a 20-year-old California man
who was molested by a Scout volunteer in
2007 a decision that will keep years
worth of perversion files detailing sex
abuse allegations secret from the public.
The announcement of the settlement in
the Santa Barbara case came after three days
of trial. The terms were confidential at the
Boy Scouts request, said Tim Hale, the
plaintiffs attorney.
I cant go into details about the number,
but it was a great result, Hale said.
Hale had won the right to use the perversion files to try to show the Boy Scouts
were negligent by not properly training,
educating and warning parents, Scouts and
volunteers about sexual abuse.
He told jurors in his opening statement
that they would receive a CD with 100,000
pages of internal documents from 1971 to
2007 during their deliberations. Many of
the documents have not been seen outside
the Scouts.
The plaintiffs attorneys had planned to
use up to 100 egregious files next week

Attorney general nominee

wins GOP endorsements
WASHINGTON Attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch won two key Republican
endorsements Thursday
en route to likely confirmation as the first black
woman in the nations
top law enforcement job.
I believe shes not
only qualified but exceptionally well-qualified
and a very good person,
Loretta Lynch to boot, Sen. Orrin
Hatch of Utah, a senior
Republican on the Senate Judiciary
Committee, declared from the dais on the
second day of Lynchs confirmation hearing to replace Eric Holder.
Another committee Republican, Sen. Jeff
Flake of Arizona, said later he, too, intended to back Lynch. GOP Sen. Lindsey
Graham of South Carolina said he was
inclined to do the same.
That seemed to guarantee Lynchs
approval by the Judiciary Committee in
coming weeks, since she needs only two
Republican votes on the panel if all
Democrats back her. From there, her nomination would move to the full Senate, where
she also is likely to win approval.

Poll shows giant gap between

what public, scientists think
WASHINGTON The American public
and U.S. scientists are light-years apart on
science issues. And 98 percent of surveyed
scientists say its a problem that we dont
know what theyre talking about.

while cross-examining witnesses and eliciting testimony from experts, Hale said.
Two files were discussed in open court in
the first three days of trial, he added.
The plaintiffs law firm has the remaining
files but they are sealed by a judges protective order.
Past settlements in similar cases in Texas
and Minnesota also kept the records secret.
In an emailed statement, the Boy Scouts
said the Scouts were safer because those
files exist and said in 2012 the Boy Scouts
of America National Council reviewed all
the files from 1965 to the present and
reported to authorities any files that did not
clearly indicate a prior report had been made
to police.
The behavior included in these reports
runs counter to everything for which the
BSA stands, Deron Smith, the Boy Scouts
spokesman, said in an emailed statement.
We regret there have been times when the
BSAs best efforts to protect children were
insufficient, and for that we extend our deepest apologies to victims and their families.
The Boy Scouts decision to settle three
days into trial is telling, especially with the
files in play, said Jody Armour, a law professor at the University of Southern California
who is familiar with the case.

Around the nation

Scientists are far less worried about
genetically modified food, pesticide use and
nuclear power than is the general public,
according to matching polls of both the
general public and the countrys largest
general science organization. Scientists
were more certain that global warming is
caused by man, evolution is real, overpopulation is a danger and mandatory vaccination against childhood diseases is needed.
In eight of 13 science-oriented issues,
there was a 20-percentage-point or higher
gap separating the opinions of the public
and members of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, according
to survey work by the Pew Research Center.

Panel recommending changes

to military health care, benefits
WASHINGTON Top U.S. leaders and
members of Congress reacted cautiously
Thursday to the recommendations of an
independent panel to change the militarys
retirement and health care systems.
The proposals, which would save more
than $20 billion over the next four years,
would allow some of the programs to operate more like existing federal employee
systems, and give service members and
their families greater flexibility in their
health care and retirement choices. There
were no recommended changes to military
pay.
Lawmakers so far have been reluctant to
tamper much with the benefits that
Americas troops and their families receive.
President Barack Obama said he will review
the findings.

Serras actions
Editor,
Serra High School knew the consequences of canceling, at a very late
date, a CCS playoff football game, citing the health of the kids (Serra football banned from CCS playoffs for two
years in the Jan. 23 edition of the
Daily Journal).
Now if it would have been an upper
tier playoff game, that would have
been worth the risk. Thats what they
implied and I defy anyone to dispute
the fact they would have played and
endured those very same risks if only
it were a upper tier playoff. Heck, the
coach doesnt get credit for a thirdplace nish. Nope, that wouldnt be
worth it.
Glad we wont see Serra in the playoffs for a couple of years.Just give up
football, if thats how you feel. May I
suggest implementing a rhythmic
lunch program in place of football?
Except for the mayhem of mac and
cheese night, that would be much
safer.

Embrace the plan

while stuck in traffic
Editor,
It would seem that Peter Carey simply doesnt understand the plan, otherwise known as Plan Bay Area
(Letter: Citizens against more housing in the Jan. 27 edition of the
Daily Journal). Yes, there is going to
be more and more housing, and the
roads never designed for the amount
of trafc that exists even today will
be more and more impacted until they
are nothing more than parking lots.
On the other hand, when people get
frustrated enough with idling away
their time and their gas, they will see
the light. When the revelation nally
comes, they will decide to make use of
the public transit system that doesnt
exist, and where it does, doesnt take
them to where they want to go as
freely and conveniently as they would
in a car, that is, if the car werent stuck
in trafc.
See the plan Pete, study the plan,
embrace the plan and you can be
enlightened before you get stuck in
trafc: http://planbayarea.org/.

he is the former city manager of
Vallejo.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported in 2009 that the city of Vallejo paid
Joe Tanner $390,000 to resign. Tanner
had been a lightning rod for criticism
because his salary of $341,000 annually made him the fourth-highest paid
city manager in the state for a city of

With all due respect, I do not think
hiring the former city manager of a
hopelessly bankrupt city in the capacity as nancial director is the best
direction for the city.

Martin Luther King

Jr. supported Israel
Editor,
The 68 protesters who marked
Martin Luther King Jr. Day by carrying a large Palestinian ag across the
San Mateo Bridge, blocking rush-hour
trafc, ostensibly to reclaim the day
for Dr. King, clearly dont know their
history. Dr. King was a proud supporter of Israel.
In one of Dr. Kings last speeches,
on March 25, 1968, he declared:
Peace for Israel means security, and
we must stand with all our might to
protect its right to exist, its territorial
integrity. I see Israel as one of the
great outposts of democracy in the
world, and a marvelous example of
what can be done, how desert land can
be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel
means security and that security must
be a reality.
Since then, Israel has welcomed
home tens of thousands of immigrants
from Ethiopia and the former Soviet
Union, elevated Israeli Arabs to
Israels Supreme Court, traded land for
peace with Egypt and Jordan and
repeatedly offered the Palestinians a
state.
The Palestinians, by contrast, have
carried out the Munich Olympics massacre of 11 Israelis, the Maalot massacre of 21 Israeli children and
responded to Israels peace proposals
by bombing Israeli children in
schools, buses, discos and pizzerias,
killing 1,000 Israelis. The Palestinian
government honors terrorists; persecutes political dissenters, gays and
lesbians; backed Sudanese President
Omar al-Bashir, the architect of the
Darfur genocide; and condones honorkillings and female genital
mutilation.

Id like to thank Caltrain for its commitment to adding a third bike car to
Bombardier trains this year. I often
take my bike on Caltrain from Palo
Alto to San Francisco on train No.
323, which is usually a Bombardier
train. Particularly on days with good
weather, I often nd myself getting
bumped from that train. The addition of
another bike car is a great step in minimizing the number of bumps that I and
my fellow passengers experience during the rush-hour commute.

America owes a big thank

you to our police officers
Editor,
America, as a free and civilized society, owes a huge thank you, in appreciation for keeping the public safe, to all
of our nations law enforcement ofcers, whether they are police ofcers,
sheriff deputies, constables, highway
patrolmen or state troopers.
We, as Americans, know that the job
of a police ofcer is more dangerous
than ever. We Americans know that
there are people who do not obey our
laws, rules and regulations. We
Americans know that there are people
who use their size, weight and strength
to threaten, ght or try to take away a
police ofcers gun, with the sole
intent of killing the police ofcer. We
Americans know that there are people
who will threaten the police by pointing a gun at them, whether it is a real
gun or a toy gun painted to look like a
real gun. We Americans know that a
police ofcer only has a split second
to determine whether a gun pointed at
them is real or fake. We Americans
know that there are people who will
use a knife, or other dangerous
weapons, to threaten and endanger
other people, himself or the police,
and the appropriate action must be
taken by the police. We Americans
know that the recent deaths resulting
from police actions have nothing to do
with race, but, rather the rule of law
and the safety of the public.
I, for one, am eternally grateful and
thankful for the presence of the men
and women in law enforcement
throughout our nation. They are the
frontline in the ght to keep our country safe and protected.

Adding bedrooms to a
bedroom community

hen Foster City was initially conceived in

1959, it was envisioned that it could be
home to 60,000 people and connected by a
larger State Route 92 that would travel all the way to the
Sierras. There were also plans for a Bayfront Freeway on
landfill and bridges to the east of the city that would
parallel Highway 101.
Over the course of the following decade, changes took
place that kept 92 the length it is and ended plans for
any freeway to be constructed on fill to the east of the
city. There were also concerns about the impact of so
many new people on the areas schools. Still, creating
the city was a massive undertaking and its location made
it ideal for growth just off
the bridge and close to
Highway 101. It did grow
but, as of the 2010 census,
its population is just over
30,000. And for a bedroom
community, adding any more
bedrooms is bound to cause
some controversy particularly since its schools are
overcrowded and there are
only a few ways to get in and
out of the city.
So it is with that in mind
that there is some amount of
controversy over some
recent plans to add more
housing to the city. There is
something called the jobs/housing balance with which
many Peninsula cities are contending as businesses
particularly in the high-tech and biotech fields are
booming.
Foster City is definitely seeing its share of that
boom. Just this month, global gene sequencing technology firm Illumina penned a deal to take 360,000
square feet of office, lab and parking space at the 20acre Lincoln Centre development with an option to take
another 160,000 square feet. Gilead Science Inc. is also
in the midst of expanding its headquarters from 40 acres
to 72.59 acres to make room for 5,000 potential new
employees. In short, there is a lot of interest in the city
because of its location and there are already a lot of new
jobs in the pipeline.
Now the question is whether the city wants to expand
its housing stock to keep up. Foster City currently has
826 housing units either approved or under construction
and must create up to 430 additional units to meet its
regional housing needs allocation issued by the state
through the Association of Bay Area Governments.
Some could argue that even those numbers wont do
much to dent the overall housing need in the city and
the area, but others argue that the city need not participate in planning for the additional units because there is
already too much housing in the city.
So is this a case of the already haves unwilling to
help out those who also want what they have? Sort of.
While other cities on the Peninsula are being aggressive
with what is best known as transit-oriented development based mainly along the Caltrain line, Foster City
is sort of stuck in no-mans land since it is not a quick
walk away from the nearest train station the Hillsdale
station in San Mateo. It is largely known as the lastmile problem, in that public transit can get people
near their homes and offices but not directly to them.
Granted, shuttles could be used, but they havent proven
to be the panacea for the traffic congestion created by
new residents and office workers. So with the impact of
new workers, traffic will likely get worse. Those against
additional housing argue that housing will only add to
that.
Some say that creating new housing will enable workers to live near their jobs, but that is easier said than
done in many cases, though many have a goal of doing
just that. More housing opportunities near an office
building will help, but there is fear it will make it
worse. There is also the matter of impact on alreadyovercrowded schools, but that is a subject of a different
column.
In the bigger picture of regional traffic, one could
argue that creating Foster City from farmland and marshes contributed to the overall issue more than 40 years
ago, but that horse has long left the stable. Now, city
officials must contend with how best to serve its 30,000
residents, many of whom are benefiting from low property taxes because of Proposition 13, while ensuring it
stays competitive both with its tax revenue created by
new businesses and in the larger San Mateo County economic and social ecosystem. Its a tough situation, for
sure.

The maker of network infrastructure equipment reported better-thanexpected fiscal second-quarter profit and revenue.
Flextronics International Ltd., up 78 cents to $11.35
The electronics designer and manufacturer reported better-thanexpected quarterly results and a positive outlook.

After a shaky start, U. S. stocks

rebounded Thursday, snapping a twoday losing streak.
Investors welcomed better-thanexpected quarterly results from several
companies, including Ford, Coach and
Harley-Davidson. Homebuilder stocks
surged.
Even energy stocks, which were
down most of the day, recovered in
concert with a slight uptick in oil
prices. Benchmark U.S. crude oil rose
8 cents to close at $44.53 a barrel.
New government data showing that
applications for unemployment benefits fell to the lowest level in almost
15 years added a dash of favorable economic news.
The broader market rally helped the
major stock indexes regain some of
the ground they lost earlier in the
week, though they remain down for
the year.
Weve had a bit of a turnaround
since the lows we saw earlier in the
day, said Anastasia Amoroso, global
market strategist at J. P. Morgan
Funds. It appears earnings outside of
energy (stocks) have been rather
strong.
Investors have had no shortage of
market-moving news to digest this

week, from the outcome of a national

election in Greece with potential
implications for the Eurozone, to the
Federal Reserves latest take on the
economy and interest rates. Its also
the busiest week of the current earnings season, with 142 companies in
the Standard & Poors 500 scheduled
to report.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 225.48 points, or 1.3 percent, to
close at 17, 416. 85. The S&P 500
index gained 19.09 points, or 1 percent, to 2,021.25. The Nasdaq composite added 45.41 points, or 1 percent, to 4,683.41.
The gains were broad. All 10 sectors
in the S&P 500 rose, led by materials
stocks. Even energy stocks, which are
down more than any other sector this
year, eked out a 0.2 percent gain.
Electronics and audio equipment
maker Harman International Industries
led among the gainers, rising $24, or
23.7 percent, to $125.01. The company reported better-than-expected quarterly results and raised its profit forecast for the year.
Chipmaker Qualcomm notched the
biggest drop among stocks in the S&P
500, shedding $7.30, or 10.3 percent,
to $63.69.
The major market indexes drifted
along through much of Thursday
before turning higher in the after-

noon. For much of the day, investors

looked mainly on the latest batch of
corporate earnings.
Homebuilders
surged
after
PulteGroup reported that completed
home sales increased 7 percent in the
October-December quarter. PulteGroup
climbed $1. 24, or 6 percent, to
$21.82. Rival Ryland Group led the
sector, climbing $2.95, or 8 percent,
to $39.62.
Traders also digested the implications of the steep drop in weekly
unemployment benefit claims last
week.
The big drop is a sign that hiring
will likely remain healthy, which
could bolster the case for the Federal
Reserve to raise interest rates from
near zero sooner, rather than later,
said Doug Cote, chief market strategist
for
Voya
Investment
Management.
The market is reacting to the Fed
being intent on normalizing interest
rate policy, and todays numbers added
to that pressure, Cote said.
Higher interest rates tend to make
stocks less attractive in comparison
to bonds.
The S&P 500 hit a record in late
December, and its remained relatively
close to that since. Expectations for
earnings, meanwhile, have been sinking with the price of crude oil.

Even with low prices, U.S. oil industry pushing for exports
By Henry C. Jackson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Never mind dropping

oil prices. U.S. producers are pushing harder than ever for the right to sell U.S. crude
oil overseas.
It might seem counterintuitive: Oil prices
are as low as they have been at any point
since 2009 and the height of the Great
Recession, and some say they could drop
even further. But oil producers are playing a
longer game, betting that long-term
demand will be strong and new markets offer
lucrative rewards for U.S. producers.
Supporters see possible inroads in a

Congress controlled by Republicans who

generally are considered more receptive to
oil exports, as well as some signs that the
Obama administration may at least be open
to consider changes to longstanding policy, which bans the export of raw crude.
The ban was put in place in the 1970s
after the OPEC oil embargo led to fuel
rationing, high prices and iconic images of
long lines of cars waiting to fuel up.
The American Petroleum Institute, the oil
industrys top lobbying arm, is running TV
ads highlighting the growth of the U.S.
shale oil industry as evidence that the
theres enough oil for both domestic and
overseas markets. The organization lists

overturning the ban as its top priority for

2015.
Jack Gerard, the organizations president,
said the policy is the result of a politically
motivated disconnect between todays
much-changed energy landscape and the
political orthodoxy of some who continue
to push for arbitrary and unfair limits or an
outright ban.
Besides the financial incentive, Gerard
and supporters argue that lifting the ban
would help control prices for consumers and
give the U.S. a stronger hand in foreign
policy.
Opponents argue just the opposite: They
say exporting oil now would result in high-

Googles 4Q earnings disappoint, but CFO eases the letdown

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Google has gotten

into the habit of missing analysts earnings
targets, frustrating investors who believe
the online search leader would be more profitable it wasnt pouring so much money into
far-flung projects such as Internet-connected
eyewear and driverless cars.
The latest letdown came Thursday with the
release of Googles fourth-quarter financial
results. The earnings were well below analysts predictions, marking the fifth consecutive quarter that Google Inc. hasnt cleared
a key hurdle for publicly held companies.
But investors disappointment with the
performance seemed to dissipate during a
pep talk by Google Chief Financial Officer
Patrick Pichette. He assured investors that

Google intends to spend in a prudent manner and left open the possibility that the
company might funnel some of its $64 billion in cash back to shareholders, especially if a law is passed to allow money stashed
in overseas accounts to be brought to the
U.S. at lower tax rates.
Those remarks, made during conference
call to discuss the results, reversed an initial
sell-off in Googles stock.
After shedding 2 percent in extended trading, the shares rebounded to post a 2 percent
gain of $10.47 to $523.70. At the end of
Thursdays regular session, Googles stock
had dropped by 8 percent from where it stood
just 13 months ago. The Standard & Poors
500 index has climbed by 9 percent over the
same stretch.
Google earned $4.8 billion, or $6.91 per
share, a 41 percent increase from the same

period in 2013. If not for certain expenses

and gains, Google said it would have earned
$6.88 per share. Analysts, on average, had
forecast earnings of $7.12 per share, according to FactSet.
Googles revenue for the period covering
the holiday shopping season rose 15 percent to $18.1 billion. After subtracting ad
commissions, revenue stood at $14.5 billion nearly $250 million below analysts
expectations.
They are still in investment mode and
that is affecting (profit) margins, Edward
Jones analyst Josh Olson said.
Pichette described the fourth quarter as
noisy because the strengthening dollar
depressed the quarters revenue by about
$468 million from what it would have been
had currency rates remained unchanged from
a year earlier.

Visa 1Q profit rises 11 percent, sets 4-for-1 stock split

By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Visas quarterly profit rose

11 percent as consumer spending grew on
the credit and debit card processors massive
payment network.
Visa said Thursday it earned $1.57 billion,
or $2.53 per share, in the October-December
quarter. That compares with a profit of $1.41
billion, or $2.20 per share, in the same period a year ago.
Revenue was $3.38 billion, up from $3.16
billion.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected

Visa to earn $2.49 per share on $3.34 billion in sales.

Visa, and its competitor MasterCard, do
not issue credit and debit cards directly.
Instead, the two companies operate payment
networks that banks and merchants sign up
to use, and in exchange Visa and MasterCard
take a percentage of each sale as a fee.
However, since the companies are directly
exposed to spending trends, the companies
function as barometers for the health of the
U.S. consumer.
Visa said it processed $1.2 trillion in payments on its network in the latest quarter, up
11 percent compared to a year ago. Most of

the growth was in the U.S., where payment

volumes were $651 billion in the quarter,
compared with $591 billion in the same
period before.
Visas results echoed similar comments
from American Express, which operates its
own payment network and also issues its
own branded credit cards. American Express
said last week it saw a notable uptick in consumer spending late last year.
Visa also announced a 4-for-1 stock split,
effective March 19.
Shares of Visa rose 4 percent in aftermarket trading to $259.03. The stock has
gained 14 percent in the past 12 months.

er gas prices and prevent the U.S. from

achieving a goal of energy independence.
Opponents include many domestic oil refiners, which stand to lose business if crude oil
is exported.
The oil markets and the markets for various petroleum products are extremely complicated and I think that to mess with this
upsets the equilibrium thats there, said Jay
Hauk, executive director of Consumers and
Refiners United for Domestic Energy, or
CRUDE, which represents a group of oil
refiners.
Hauck said the policy shouldnt change
while the U.S. continues to import great
quantities of oil.

Business briefs
Broadcom tops Street 4Q forecasts
IRVINE Broadcom Corp. on Thursday
reported fourth-quarter results that topped
Wall Streets expectations.
The communications chipmaker cited
strong sales to the high-end smartphone
and broadband access markets.
The Irvine-based company posted net
income of $390 million, or 64 cents per
share in the quarter that ended Dec. 31. That
was up from $168 million, or 29 cents a
share, a year ago.
Earnings, adjusted for one-time gains and
costs, came to 90 cents per share in the latest quarter.
The results topped Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was
for earnings of 87 cents per share.

Samsung getting squeezed

SAN FRANCISCO The runaway success
of Apples newest iPhone has fueled a dramatic shift in the global market: the
California tech giant is now neck-and-neck
with South Koreas Samsung for the title of
worlds leading seller of smartphones.
Apple set the standard for modern smartphones when it released the first iPhone in
2007, but Samsung has been the market
leader since 2011 with its series of supersized smartphones that run on Googles
Android software. However, Apple made
huge gains in the last quarter, selling 74.5
million iPhones nearly 50 percent more
than a year earlier after introducing two
bigger models to compete with Samsungs

Ducks to open second half
Friday Jan. 30, 2015

Panthers stay in second

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The second half of the Peninsula Athletic

League Bay Division girls soccer season began
Thursday and coaches focus now are to make
sure to nish in the top three in the standings to
assure an automatic berth into the Central Coast
Section playoffs.
With rst-place and undefeated Woodside an
almost certain lock to be one of those three
teams, that leaves two spots left.
Both Burlingame and Menlo-Atherton are two
of those teams battling for those playoff spots.
The Panthers came into Thursdays game in
second place and, with 14 points entering the
game, were only one point ahead of third place
Carlmont. M-A was sitting in fourth place with
11 points.
When the nal whistle blew, Burlingame had
solidied its second-place standing with a hardfought 2-1 win over the Bears.
The ultimate goal is top-3 (in the PAL standings) because [those spots] are automatic qualiers, said Burlingame coach Philip DeRosa.
We just have to take care our business. No question, this (win) was huge.
It certainly didnt come easy for Burlingame
(5-1-2 PAL Bay, 8-2-4 overall). The Panthers
scored a pair of rst-half goals, but M-A (3-3-2,
6-4-3) scored before halftime to trail 2-1 at the
break.
The Bears applied plenty of pressure in the
second half and had three golden opportunities
to at least tie the game, but all three chances
went for naught.
Its frustrating, said M-A coach Jason Luce.
We just didnt get it done.
M-A outshot Burlingame 7-1 in the second
half, turning the tables from a rst half that saw
the Panthers have the better chances, outshooting M-A 9-4 in the opening 40 minutes.
The Bears had a couple of dangerous moments
in the opening minutes of the second half. The
rst came in the 52nd minute when Annie
Harriers shot from about 12 yards crashed off
the crossbar. A couple minutes later, Amanda
Wisemans strike sailed just over the top of the
Burlingame goal.
M-As last chance was probably its best to
forge a tie. With about 10 minutes to play,

Skyline rallies
for comeback
in 2015 opener
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

This week marks the start of the 2015

California Community College baseball
season. And boy was Skyline in seventh
heaven on opening day.
The Trojans (1-0) rallied for seven runs in
the seventh inning for a 12-6 come-frombehind victory over Laney College-Oakland
(1-1) Thursday at Skyline College.
With the Trojans trailing
by one run in the bottom
of the seventh, No. 9 hitter
Michael Franco delivered a
clutch bases-loaded, tworun single to put Skyline
ahead 7-6. Francos single
opened the flood gates as
the Trojans ultimately sent
10 batters to the plate in
Michael Franco the seven-run inning.
I knew it was going to be a big at-bat,
Franco said. So, I knew I had to get it done
and put the ball in play.
After both teams starting pitchers saw
abbreviated days, the Trojans turned to
right-hander Mike Espino to start the fifth
inning. The freshman threw five scoreless
frames to earn the win. Laney right-hander
Zack Petray took the loss after working 3
2/3 innings.
Through two varsity seasons at El
Camino, Espino never recorded a win
through nine career outings. So, Thursdays
opening-day win in the freshmans collegiate debut was one to savor. He allowed just
three hits and walked one while just one
Laney base runner reached scoring position
against him.
I just knew I had to throw strikes,
Espino said. I just had to command my
pitches and my defense would make plays.
Indeed, the Skyline defense played a flawless game. The Trojans didnt commit any
errors and got excellent glove work from the
sophomores on the left side of their infield,

Hoodie, scowl hide Reported concussions

the Belichick impact down 25 percent in NFL
By Howard Fendrich

By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX Hes been called the Evil

Genius, and hes been fined for spying on an
opponent. And now there are questions
about deflated footballs.
Any visual portrait of Bill Belichick likely has him wearing a hoodie and a scowl.
Many of his media duties are marked by terse
answers or outright stonewalling.
All of which masks the impact and
longevity of the New England Patriots
boss, the winningest coach in postseason
NFL history.
Belichick is about to lead his team into its
sixth Super Bowl in 14 seasons. No one,
not Chuck Noll or Tom Landry or Marv Levy
or Bill Walsh all Hall of Famers managed that. Since Belichick took over the
Patriots in 2000 after a five-season flop as
head man in Cleveland, there have been 119
coaching changes. In the AFC East alone,
which the Patriots have won 12 of 14 seasons, 17 coaches have come and gone,
according to STATS.

Belichick is the constant.

I think Coach is
always pretty consistent
with how hes dealt with
our team, Tom Brady
said. You dont ride the
highs and lows of the season. Whether its one win
Bill Belichick or one loss, you just try
to get better and make
improvements, and youve got to play your
best at the end.
Its hard to make our team. Coach
Belichick puts a lot of pressure on guys in
training camp. If you make the team, you
know that you have the confidence of the
coaches that you can help us win.
Everybodys got a skill. Everybodys got a
skill set. Whoever is on the field has to be
able to go out there and perform their job.
In the face of the controversies and criticisms the Patriots have faced during his
tenure, Belichicks approach remains the
same. Yes, he often comes off as ornery, but

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX The number of recorded concussions dropped 25 percent during the regular season, according to the NFL, even as
injury reporting and trips to injured reserve
list rose overall.
Data released by the league Thursday
shows there were 111 concussions in games
during the 2014 regular season, down from
148 in 2013, and 173 in 2012, a 36 percent
drop over that three-year span.
This follows repeated changes by the NFL
meant to cut down on blows to the head,
including reduced practice time and rules
protecting defenseless receivers and barring leading with the crown of the helmet.
It would have been nice if we had started
this in 1930, but we didnt, said San
Francisco 49ers chairman John York, who
leads the owners health and safety committee. And as things came to our attention,
we took more interest in looking at these
questions.
When preseason games, plus preseason
and regular-season practices, are included,

the 202 concussions this season declined

12 percent from 2013, and 23 percent from
2012. Thats despite no new rules meant to
protect players heads.
Players are changing the way theyre
tackling, NFL Senior Vice President of
Health and Safety Policy Jeff Miller said.
Theyre changing the way they play the
game.
Addressing two other areas of player
health, Miller said that as concussions have
gone down, We have not seen a correlation
with an increase of knee injuries, at all,
and that for the fourth consecutive year,
injuries on Thursdays are no greater than
they are on Sunday and Monday.
In all, the concussion rate is down to 0.43
per game, Miller said, adding: You have to
play more than two games to get a concussion in the NFL, by those numbers.
A total of 59 concussions were caused by
helmet-to-helmet or shoulder-to-helmet
hits this season, the leagues data says,
almost exactly half as many as two years
ago.

Woods struggles with chipping at Phoenix open

By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. The focus on Tiger

Woods at the Phoenix open shifted Thursday
from a chipped tooth to his chipping.
Woods struggled mightily with his short
game again, and it didnt help that he only hit
three greens in regulation on the front nine.
He made three bogeys and a double bogey and
made the turn in 4-over 39.
In his 2015 debut, Woods already was 10
shots behind early leader Keegan Bradley,
who had a 6-under 65.
Woods is playing for only the second time
since he missed the cut at the PGA
Championship last August. He brought in a
new swing consultant during his time off to
heal from back injuries, and expectations
were lower than usual for a player who has
won 79 times on the PGA Tour.
In his first trip to the Waste Management
Phoenix Open since 2001, playing before
the most energetic crowd at an American golf

tournament since the PGA

Championship, Woods
created more groans than
cheers particularly off
the green.
Just over a week ago,
Woods was photographed
in Italy at a World Cup ski
race with a missing tooth
Tiger Woods from what he said was a
camera inadvertently hitting him in the mouth. The chipped and crack
teeth were easy to replace. His chipping
might be a different story. Woods also duffed a
number of chips at the Hero World Challenge
in December at Isleworth, the course he
knows better than any other in the world.
Not much changed two months later.
Woods didnt hit his chip with a mid-iron
hard enough from short of the first green and
left it 10 feet short. He sent a routine chip on
the second hole some 15 feet by the cup. And
on the next hole, the par-5 third hole, Woods
was tentative with a flop shot out of the rough
and didnt reach the green. Another chip on

the par-3 fourth didnt reach the green, and he

three-putted from 20 feet on the fringe.
The worst of it was at No. 9. His ball was
just outside a bunker, and Woods had to play
an exaggerated hook with his feet in the sand,
and he lost his balance. At least his back
looked to be healthy. The ball came up short
of the green, and Woods bladed a chip that ran
over the back of the green.
Instead of chipping to a close pin, he opted
to putt up the slope. It was the second time on
the front nine that Woods used a putter instead
of chipping. It wasnt a bad option, but using
a putter once was a rare option for Woods.
The crowd was enormous, as expected, with
Woods playing the rowdiest event on the
PGA Tour for the first time in 14 years.
Bradley didnt get much attention as he
motored around TPC Scottsdale with seven
birdies for the lead among the early starters.
I hit a shot in on my last hole to about 10
feet, and it was a pretty good shot, and I didnt get many claps, Bradley said.
He turned to his caddie and asked if it was
over the green, or well short. He couldnt fig-

Serena aims for 19th major in Aussie final

By John Pye
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MELBOURNE, Australia It wasnt

until Serena Williams forced herself to
relax, and not focus too intently on a
milestone Grand Slam title, that she
rediscovered the art of winning the
biggest events in tennis.
Now shes on the verge of a 19th
major championship after beating 19year-old Madison Keys 7-6 (5), 6-2 on
Thursday and setting up an Australian
Open final against long-time rival
Maria Sharapova.
Williams has won all five Australian
Open finals she has contested and won
her last 15 matches against No. 2ranked Sharapova, a five-time major
winner who will be playing her fourth
final at Melbourne Park.
While the 33-year-old Williams is
peerless among active players, there
was a period last year when she wanted
so desperately to win her 18th major
that it proved too distracting. After

winning the U.S. Open in 2013, she

lost in the fourth round at the
Australian Open, the second round at
the French and the third round at
Wimbledon.
I was so hyped on getting to 18 and
I lost every Grand Slam early. I didnt
make it to any quarterfinals, Williams
said. Then after Wimbledon I decided
to just not necessarily not care
but just relax. It all kind of came back
for me after that ... and I think its been
working.
That approach helped her win the
U.S. Open and, if it works again on
Saturday against 2008 champion
Sharapova, it will help Williams move
above Chris Evert and Martina
Navratilova on the list of major winners. She would be behind only Steffi
Graf, with 22 titles, among champions
in the Open era.
The statistics point to another win
for Williams, but shes not getting
ahead of herself.
Again. I have to win. Everyones

expecting me to win. But well see,

Williams said. Shes playing unbelievable. She was almost out of the
tournament and has been playing better every single match. Its impressive.
Williams, who has struggled with a
cold for a week, said shed benefit from
a tough workout in the all-American
semifinal against Keys, who pounded
her with heavy groundstrokes and a big
serve for the first set.
Keys, playing in her first Grand Slam
semifinal, saved seven match points
on serve in a penultimate game that
lasted more than 11 minutes. Williams
closed with an ace in the next game to
reach her 23rd major final.
She pushed me really hard the first
set ... and I had to really dig deep mentally to get through that, Williams
said. It was a little frustrating. I had
like nine or 10 match points and couldnt close it out. That doesnt happen so
much. She played like she didnt have
anything to lose.

ure out why there was hardly any applause.

We get up there perfect shot. And Tiger
was on the second green. No one was watching me, he said. Its just amazing to see the
draw that Tiger has.
Zach Johnson was among four players at
66, while Angel Cabrera and Justin Leonard
were in the group at 67.
Phil Mickelson, a three-time winner at the
Phoenix Open, also got off to a bad start. He
put two balls in the water on the par-5 15th
and made double bogey and was 3 over
through his opening seven holes. But he
drove to the front of the green on the short
par-4 17th and converted that into a birdie,
and he picked up four more birdies to salvage
a respectable 69.
I felt like I was a little anxious starting the
round, because I felt like my game was really
where I wanted it to be, Mickelson said. I
came out and I just made a bunch of dumb mistakes. ... I ended up playing the front nine
really solid with 3 under and hit a lot of good
shots on some holes I made pars, as well, and
feel much better.

that weve had over the past few years, Im

surprised the numbers keep going down, St.
Louis Rams team doctor Matthew Matava
said. Because youd think, with more vigilance, youd see more of any sort of condition.
According to STATS, there were 265 players placed on injured reserve during the regular season in 2014, a 17 percent jump from
the 226 the year before.
This season, for the first time, NFL injury
data was collected by all 32 teams through
electronic medical records, allowing for
more comprehensive accounting. That system does a better job of capturing all injuries
from a bruise, say, to a broken leg
according to Christina Mack, an epidemiologist at Quintiles, a clinical research organization that works with the league.
One change is that less-severe injuries,
such as a first-degree sprain, are captured
more frequently now, she said. Something
worse, such as a concussion or torn knee ligament, is just as likely to have been reported
under the old setup.

thats because hed rather be coaching,

rather be teaching, rather be dissecting
film.
But according to Vince Wilfork, other
than Brady the longest-tenured Patriot,
Belichick has changed somewhat. Out of
necessity.
Yeah, Ive seen the difference in Bill in
the 11 years that I have been here, and I tell
him he is getting soft, the defensive tackle joked. But this is a different era of football now with how the team is shaped up,
and how a lot of guys are younger guys. You
dont really have that veteran team that he
used to have. When I first came in the
league, he had a veteran team that didnt
take much to get those guys going.
But hes more understanding now. I think
when you get so used to having a certain
quality of players and it changes, its hard
for you to adapt to change. And I think Bill
had to do a good job of that ever since Ive
been in the league because weve changed so
much.
Pretty much every successful Super Bowl

coach had to follow that path. Certainly

Noll did as Pittsburgh evolved from the
Steel Curtain-dominated squads to a highscoring bunch. So did Landry, several
times, depending on if he had a Doomsday
Defense or a potent attack built around
Roger Staubach.
Belichicks first Super Bowl team back in
2001 was fundamentally sound on both
sides of the ball, but far more aggressive on
defense, his specialty. Indeed, Brady was
almost a caretaker that season.
Belichick knew he had something very
special in Brady, though, and when the quarterback rapidly developed, the coach loosened the reins. When they won their consecutive titles for the 2003 and 2004 seasons, Brady was a budding star.
When Belichick recognized that, he built
an unstoppable offense around Brady. In
some ways, he was ahead of the game,
again. While the NFL was evolving into
pass-crazy league, the Patriots already were
there with Brady throwing to Randy Moss
and Wes Welker.
By 2007, Brady was the best quarterback
in the league, breaking records and guiding
New England to a perfect regular season.
Dont think other coaches around the NFL
havent paid attention. His counterpart in

BGAME

wide-open affair, with play owing back and

forth. M-A had better run of it in the opening
minutes, but Burlingame weathered the storm
and returned the pressure.
The Panthers rst real scoring chance came
in the 15th minute as Mackenzie Schoustra dribbled nearly the length of the eld on a counter
attack following a M-A corner kick. As
Schoustra got to the M-A penalty box, the
Bears defender had closed and, when Schoustra
unleashed her shot, it was blocked point blank
by M-A goalkeeper Jacqueline Foody, who also
nished the game with six saves.
Two minutes later, the Panthers took a 1-0
lead on the rst of two Gabriella Walker goals.
The play started along the right ank, as Jayna
Dunning worked a give and go. She took the
pass back, turned and, from 35 yards, lofted a
perfect cross into the M-A penalty box.

Walker, who was closely marked by a M-A

defender, managed to wrap her leg around and
poked the ball just past the dive of Foody and
just inside the left post for the goal.
Five minutes later, in the 22nd minute,
Walker struck again. This time, it was center
midelder Alysse La Mond who triggered the
goal, sending a perfect one-timer through ball
into the Bears penalty box. Walker ran onto the
ball and popped it over the goalkeeper to put the
Panthers up 2-0.
M-A, however, pulled the goal right back two
minutes later, capitalizing on the one mistake
from the Burlingame defense. A throw-in went
into the Panthers penalty box. It was free for
Chikarov to pick up but, instead, a Burlingame
defender tried to clear it away. It deected off
another player and a lurking Julia Moreton
pounced on the loose ball, poking it into the

Harrier unleashed a shot from the right side of
the Burlingame penalty box, only to be denied
by Panthers goalkeeper Nina Chikanov, who
parried the shot wide.
Chikanov nished with six saves for the
game.
With Chikanov scrambling to get back into
position, M-As Sarah McLeod ran on to the
rebound and had an empty net at which to shoot.
As a Burlingame defender closed on her,
McLeods shot went wide of the target.
In the rst half, both teams took advantage of

Belichick.
I know that when (owner Robert Kraft)
was making his choice to hire coach
Belichick, I had one opportunity to say
something to him about that, Carroll said.
And I thought that was really a unique hire,
a special hire and a guy that would really fit
in well if (Kraft) let him do what he was
capable of doing. I think Bill is a very open
free-thinker and a guy that needs that kind
of control to be at his best.
Its worked historically and in extraordinary fashion.
To Wilfork, nothing has changed, yet so
much has changed.
We were a veteran team, (then) it was a
younger team; at one point we were the
youngest team in the league, he said. So I
think he had to try to find the identity in
what works for that team. And I think hes
done a great job over the years of doing
that.
But at the end of the day, he is still Bill.
He coaches the same way. He demands
everything the same way. But I think hes
got a little soft heart now. Over time, he got
a little softer, though.

It was a total mistake. It did change the focus
of the game, DeRosa said. But my defense has
been solid all year long. They did hold their
own.
Burlingames best chance in the second half
came when Guilia Flygare sent a ball to the top
of the penalty box. Alexis Prieto used a backward ick of her head to send the ball on goal
and only a diving block by Foody kept the
Bears decit at one.
Despite the loss, M-As Luce was pleased with
the way his team performed.
Burlingame scored two good goals, Luce
said. (Im) proud of the group and the way we
played.
For DeRosa, he was just relieved to escape
with the victory.
We got a crucial, crucial win, DeRosa said.

Three Hawks, the Warriors

Thompson named All-Stars
By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Al Horford, Paul

Millsap and Jeff Teague were
picked Thursday as reserves for the
Eastern Conference All-Star team,
giving the sizzling Atlanta Hawks
three selections.
Kevin Durant and Russell
Westbrook were selected in the
West, despite early season injuries
for the Oklahoma City stars. The
Miami Heat also had two reserves
in Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade.
But Portland surprisingly only
had one in LaMarcus Aldridge.
Point guard Damian Lillard was
not among the seven reserves.
Atlanta has won 17 in a row and
has a 38-8 record, second-best in
the NBA. The Hawks were hoping
for four spots, but Kyle Korver was
not chosen by East coaches.
Our whole starting five
deserves to be there, Teague said
before the results were announced.
We have a good ballclub. Were
all playing at a really high level
right now. And were playing as a
team. Thats all you can really ask
for.
Clevelands Kyrie Irving, last
years All-Star game MVP, and
first-timer Jimmy Butler of
Chicago were the other players
announced to the East roster.
The rest of the West reserves for
the Feb. 15 game at Madison
Square Garden in New York are
James Harden (Houston), Klay
Thompson (Golden State), Tim
Duncan (San Antonio) and Chris
Paul (Clippers).
Head coaches in each conference
had to vote for two guards, three
frontcourt players and two players
regardless of position. They
couldnt vote for players on their
own teams.
The starters were voted by fans
and announced last Thursday.
LeBron James (Cleveland), Pau
Gasol
(Chicago),
Carmelo
Anthony (New York), John Wall
(Washington) and Kyle Lowry
(Toronto) will start for the East.
Stephen Curry (Golden State),
Kobe Bryant (Lakers), Anthony
Davis (New Orleans), Blake

Griffin (Clippers) and Marc Gasol

(Memphis) were voted in from the
West.
Bryant is out for the rest of the
season after surgery to repair a
torn rotator cuff in his shoulder
and his replacement on the roster
will be chosen by Commissioner
Adam Silver. West coach Steve
Kerr of the Warriors will decide
who takes Bryants spot in the
lineup.
Atlantas Mike Budenholzer will
lead the East. He will get to coach
three of his players, the first trio
of Hawks All-Stars since John
Drew, Eddie Johnson and Dan
Roundfield in 1980.
We love for our players to have
success and for our players to be
appreciated, Budenholzer said.
Yeah, theres a sense of pride.
They work really hard. They do a
lot of things we appreciate. If
other people are appreciating
them, thats a good thing.
Korver, shooting 53 percent
from 3-point range, still might
have a chance if Wade isnt able to
play in his 11th consecutive AllStar selection. The Heat star is battling a strained right hamstring.
The powerful West has many
more snubs, including Lillard,
whose Trail Blazers are tied for
third in the conference and who is
averaging 21.8 points.
Sacramentos DeMarcus Cousins
wasnt picked despite averaging
23.8 points and 12.3 rebounds as
perhaps the best big man in the
league this season, and neither
Memphis nor Dallas had a reserve
selected despite their strong play
and worthy candidates.
Duncan did make it for a 15th
time, joining Shaquille ONeal and
Kevin Garnett with the third-most
selections behind Kareem AbdulJabbar (19) and Bryant (17).
Durant will get the chance to
improve his 30.6 points per game
average in the All-Star game, best
all-time. West coaches went with
the leagues reigning MVP even
though he has missed 25 of the
Thunders 46 games and the team
is only 23-23, currently out of
playoff position.

Patriots hotel for Super Bowl
CHANDLER, Ariz. A fire alarm
sounded for the second time in three

Quarterback Tom Brady says he

didnt hear it and slept through it.

The Sheraton Wild Horse Pass

by a stairwell smoke head and was
being investigated.
It also says the alarm had no
major impact on guests and there
were no evacuations or injuries.
There was another false alarm at

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Caadas lone sophomore RHP deals on opening day

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

It has been a good week on the mound for

El Camino grads.
The Caada and Skyline baseball teams
won their respective openers and a pair of
Colts alums earned the victories in each.
Skyline freshman Mike Espino took the w
with five shutout relief innings in Thursdays
12-6 win over Laney-Oakland. Two days
prior, Caada right-hander Josh Eclavea a
former El Camino ace threw eight innings
to tab the victory in the Colts 4-2 win over
Merced.
Eclavea survived a rough first inning in
which he surrendered the only two runs
Merced scored in the game. He allowed six
hits overall, three in the first inning. Caada
rallied back with one run in the third inning
before taking the lead in the sixth on a basesloaded walk.
I really liked how the game went because
we jumped into a little bit of adversity right

SKYLINE
Continued from page 11
shortstop Ismael Orozco and third baseman
Phil Caulfield. The game even closed with an
outfield assist as freshman right fielder Brett
Berghammer gunned down a Laney base runner at first to end it.
Skyline starting pitch Aldo Severson was
roughed up, surrendering four runs through 3
1/3 innings. The sophomore right-hander
allowed two runs in each of the first two
innings until departing with two on and one
out in the third. But Skyline right-hander RJ
Hanson kept Laney in check by inducing a
double-play ground to end the inning. It was
one of two double plays turned by Skyline in
the game.

off the bat, Caada manager Tony Lucca said.

But I think it kind of
woke us up and challenged us. Our kids
were just excited to play
and they fed off of
Eclaveas outing, obviously.
Eclavea hasnt earned
Josh Eclavea
the moniker of staff ace
yet. The right-hander is the only sophomore starter on staff for the Colts. So, he was
a logical choice to get the opening-day nod.
He was the only guy who had experience,
Lucca said. He had a good fall. He threw the
ball well and he earned the start for us.
Eclavea has a three-pitch repertoire a
fastball, curveball and changeup all of
which he threw for strikes Tuesday. His
bread-and-butter is his gusty command to the
strike zone. He issued just one walk against
four strikeouts.
Last season, Caada boasted the Coast

Pacific
Conference
Pitcher of the Year, Sam
Alton. Alton was the surefire ace who carried the
Colts with 102 innings
pitched while posting a
10-1 record in 2014.
He kind of set the blue
print in front of a guy like
Elijah Saunders Josh to show what it
takes to be successful at
this level, Lucca said.
Eclavea worked mostly in relief last season, though he did receive two starts down
the stretch. He earned his only win of the
year in relief against Contra Costa on Feb. 1
with two shutout innings. He then got tagged
for his only loss of the year in his first start
April 4 in a disastrous outing against
Chabot, giving up five runs in 2 1/3 innings
in an eventual 15-0 Colts loss.
In his second and final start of the season
though, he bounced back to throw 6 2/3
innings, allowing four runs in a no-decision.

The Colts eventually lost

the game 10-9.
Tuesday
marked
Eclaveas first victory as
a collegiate starter.
Were still looking for
an ace, but if Eclevea keeps
doing what hes doing, you
may be able to call him our
Rory McDaid ace, Lucca said.
Also recording a decision in the game was right-hander Chris
Miguel, who earned the save. A sophomore
who served strictly as an infielder last season, Miguel is one of three Colts players
who are slated for two-way duty this season.
Elijah Saunders, who is scheduled to take
the start for Caada Friday against Reedley,
was the Colts opening-day shortstop.
Also, right-hander Rory McDaid a utility man who can play both third base and center field is slated to start Saturdays game
against Sierra.

The Trojans tied it in the bottom of the

third on three straight single. Bongi lined a
two-out single to center. Then Caulfield and
Shane OKeefe followed with back-to-back
RBI knocks to tie the game at 4-4. But Laney
took the lead right back in the top of the
fourth, touching Hanson for two earned runs
to take a 6-4 lead.
Skyline scratched out an unearned run in the
bottom of the fourth. With two on and one
out, Matt Seubert hit a slow bounder to the
third base bag. Laney third baseman Kaleo
Johnson booted the ball allowing Nobu
Suzuki to score for second base. But the
inning could have been much worse for Laney
had it not been for Johnsons backhanded
diving catch on a Caulfield line drive to end
the inning.
Hes a quality young man, so hes going to
make plays, Laney manager Francisco
Zapata said of the freshman Johnson.
Skyline finally broke through in the sev-

enth though. Bongi who went 3 for 3 with

two RBIs on the day and reached base in all
five of his plate appearances was hit by a
pitch to open the frame. With one out,
OKeefe singled to right field. Keaton
Eichman followed with an infield single to
load the bases, setting the stage for Franco.
After Franco gave the Trojans the lead,
Berghammer produced a sacrifice fly to score
Eichman. Then Seubert came through by
splitting the right-center gap for a two-run
double. Orozco followed with an RBI single
and Bongi closed the inning with an RBI single, only to be thrown out attempting to
advance to second for the final out of the
inning.
Seubert is an interesting choice for the
Trojans as a No. 3 hitter. Recruited foremost
as a pitcher, Seubert experienced a fray in the
ulnar collateral ligament of this throwing
elbow after throwing 74 2/3 innings at
Carlmont last season. And while he was a

career .311 hitter through three varsity seasons with the Scots, he hit just .246 last year.
Seubert said his throwing arm is now 100
percent healthy. Now its a matter of
strengthening his arm for everyday use. But
when he arrived at Skyline in the fall, even
with his pitching future uncertain, he wanted
to be assured of an everyday role. A natural
third baseman, the left side of the Trojans was
already spoken for with a slate of returning
sophomores.
I had the mindset there were still spots
open and I was going to play hard to get one,
Seubert said. But I had no intention of playing first base.
The victory marked the first opening-day
win for Skyline in over five years.
We needed that win, Franco said. The
team, we felt like were down, but we were
never out of it.

Around the world

Frenchman linked to
attackers charged, incarcerated
PARIS French authorities filed preliminary terrorism
charges Thursday against a Frenchman extradited from
Bulgaria and linked to gunmen behind deadly attacks in
Paris, a judicial official said.
Fritz-Joly Joachin was ordered jailed for at least four
months pending further investigation, the official said.
He was arrested Jan. 1 on a French warrant while trying to
cross from Bulgaria into Turkey. French police say that
Joachin, 29, was an associate of the Kouachi brothers, who
killed 12 people in an attack Jan. 7 against newspaper
Charlie Hebdo.
Joachin was given preliminary charges of participating in
an organized crime group with aims to prepare a terrorist act,
and seeking to join extremist fighters in Syria, the official
said. Joachin arrived in France on Thursday from Bulgaria.
Facing French judges, he said that he had been heading to
Turkey on vacation - not to join fighters in Syria - and had a
job waiting for him back in France, the official said. The
source spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation.

Gas blast wrecks Mexico childrens

hospital; at least two dead, 73 injured
By Alberto Arce and Peter Orsi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY Injured and bleeding, mothers carrying infants fled

from a maternity hospital shattered by
a powerful gas explosion Thursday,
and rescuers swung sledgehammers to
break through fallen concrete hunting
for others who might be trapped.
At least two people were killed and
73 injured, Mexico City officials said.
The known dead were a woman and a
child. Officials earlier said at least four
people had been killed.
About 75 percent of the hospital collapsed, officials said, and the priority
was to continue digging in search of

any trapped survivors. Authorities said

they had confirmed that none of the
children registered in the hospital were
missing, but said it was possible that
others who had come for appointments
could be trapped.
The citys health secretary, Armando
Ahued, said the adult victim was a 25year-old woman and the child was a
newborn, between 2 and 3 weeks old.
He said 21 babies were injured, and
nine of those and seven adults were in
serious condition after being rushed to
other hospitals.
Thirty-five-year-old
Felicitas
Hernandez wept as she frantically questioned people outside the wrecked building, hoping for word of her month-old

baby, who had been hospitalized since

birth with respiratory problems.
They wouldnt let me sleep with
him, said Hernandez, who had come
to the city-run Maternity and
Childrens Hospital of Cuajimalpa
because she had no money. Later,
authorities told her to check at another
hospital where she reported finding
her baby uninjured.
The explosion occurred at 7:05 a.m.
when a tanker truck was making a routine delivery of gas to the hospital
kitchen and gas started to leak.
Witnesses said the tanker workers
struggled frantically for 15 or 20 minutes to repair the leak while a large
cloud of gas formed.

Families plead for lives of IS hostages as swap hopes fade

By Karin Laub
and Mohammed Daragmeh
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AMMAN, Jordan The father of a

Jordanian fighter pilot and the wife of
a Japanese journalist held by the
Islamic State group pleaded for their
loved ones lives after a possible
prisoner swap wasnt carried out by a
deadline of sunset Thursday.

The extremists had demanded that

Jordan release a female al-Qaida prisoner from death row, and they purportedly threatened in an audio message to
kill the airman if she was not freed by
the deadline.
After sundown in the Middle East,
there was no word on the fate of Lt.
Muath al-Kaseasbeh and journalist
Kenji Goto, and the families agonizing wait dragged on.

We received no assurances from

anyone that he is alive, Jawdat alKaseasbeh, a brother of the pilot, told
the Associated Press. We have no
clue about where the negotiations
stand now. We are waiting, just waiting.
The possibility of a swap was raised
Wednesday when Jordan said it was
willing to trade Sajida al-Rishawi, the
al-Qaida prisoner, for the pilot.

Youth who stormed Dutch

broadcaster claimed to be hacker
HILVERSUM, Netherlands A 19-year-old brandishing a
fake weapon threatened a security guard to gain access to the
headquarters of Dutch national broadcaster NOS and demand
airtime Thursday night before police stormed a TV studio to
arrest him.
Nobody was injured in the incident, but it forced the NOS
off air for around an hour and set nation on edge, coming just
weeks after the deadly attack on satirical magazine Charlie
Hebdo in Paris that left 12 people dead.
When NOS came back on air, it showed recorded footage of
the young man, wearing a black suit, white shirt and black
tie, and carrying a pistol with what looked like a silencer
attached.
Police said later the gun was a fake and that the man had no
criminal record. Detectives were investigating his possible
motives.

What have we done to deserve another found-footage

fresh in 1999 with The Blair Witch Project long ago wore

The only thing noteworthy about its use in Project Almanac,

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Mozart vs. Salieri in

Hillbarns Amadeus
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Although the title implies that

Peter Shaffers Amadeus is about
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the
central character actually is
Antonio Salieri, a fellow composer in Vienna.
After the tragically untimely
death of Mozart (1756-1791), it
was rumored that Salieri (17501825) had poisoned him. Its more
likely that kidney failure was to
blame.
Hillbarn Theatres production,
directed by Leslie Lloyd, features
Jerry Lloyd (the directors husband) as Salieri and Ross
Neuenfeldt as Mozart.
Shaffers fictionalized take on
their relationship focuses not on
Salieris having poisoned Mozart
but on the elder composers doing
everything in his power to thwart
Mozarts career.
In the process, Mozart is reduced
to abject poverty while most audiences at the time fail to appreciate
his genius.
Salieri, however, recognizes it
immediately and realizes that
Mozarts music is far superior to
his. He regards it as a gift from
God.
Thus, Salieri is rankled to his
soul, for as a young man he had

promised God that he would live

an upright and virtuous life if only
he could become a great composer.
This approach works for quite
some time as Salieri achieves fame
and fortune, earning a lucrative
position in the court of Emperor
Joseph II (Ray DAmbrosio).
Hearing Mozarts music and
meeting the young man causes
Salieri to renounce his vow to God
and instead to undermine Mozart.
In the meantime, Salieri pretends to be Mozarts friend and
ally. When Mozart advances
despite Salieris efforts, the hypocritical Salieri takes credit.
Making Salieris hatred for
Mozart even greater is that while
his music appears to come straight
from God, the man himself is callow, shallow and uncouth. Salieri
privately calls him an obscene
child.
As the play opens, Salieri is an
old, feeble, guilt-wracked man in
November 1823. He then recounts
the events from 1781 to Mozarts
death in 1791.
Hillbarns production runs three
hours and 15 minutes with one
intermission. Part of that length
comes from the script, which
could use some judicious cutting.
For example, the opening scene
with Salieri in his wheelchair goes
on too long.
Perhaps the other part of the

Amadeus continues through Feb. 8 at the Hillbarn Theatre in Foster City.

length comes from the direction
and the differing levels of acting
ability. Lloyd, the only Equity
(professional) actor in the production, is superlative.
Likewise, Neuenfeldt as Mozart
is excellent, making him a more
sympathetic character than seen
in some productions and believably navigating his physical and
mental decline. Also noteworthy
in the cast is Lauren Rhodes as
Constanze Weber, who becomes

Mozarts wife.
The set by Kuo-Hao Lo is flexible but unattractive, and some
missed cues in Matthew Johns
lighting design dont help. Lisa
Claybaughs costumes and the wig
and hair designs by Aviva Raskin
evoke the era.
Sound by Jon Hayward features
tantalizing snippets from great
Mozart works like Cosi Fan
Tutte, The Marriage of Figaro,
The Magic Flute, Don

The play holds some fascination
not only for its music but also for
its exploration of the man-God

Distillers get hopping mad for new liquor flavoring

By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A new flavor is brewing in the world

of craft liquors as distillers borrow
from the beer world and add hops for an
aromatic twist.
Recent products include hopped
whiskies such as R5 from Charbay
Artisan Distillery & Winery in the
Napa Valley and Hopmonster from the
Corsair Distillery with operations in
Tennessee and Kentucky. Other examples include Hatter Royale from New
Holland Brewing Co. in Michigan and
Hopskey from Square One Brewery in
St. Louis. In the non-whiskey category theres Hophead Vodka from Anchor
Distilling Co. in San Francisco and a
hopped gin from the New York
Distilling Co. Beyond the hard stuff,
theres even a half-dozen or so hopped
hard ciders.
The move, says H. Joseph Ehrmann,
who carries several of the hop-flavored
liquors at his Elixir bar in San
Francisco, is inspired by the desire to
stand out. Theyre up against the big
boys, the big brands and theyre trying to make something thats going to
compete and be unique so that people
arent looking at them as another
bourbon or another American single
malt.
It also tracks the boom in India pale
ales the hoppy beers beloved by
craft beer enthusiasts as well as the
quest for innovative cocktails.
Industry-wide, theres been an
explosion of flavored spirits in the

past few years, especially the many

shades of vodka, driven by efforts to
attract new customers and expand shelf
space. But Christopher Null, who
blogs
about
liquor
at
Drinkhacker.com, sees the hop-flavored spirits trend as less about growing market share and more about craft
distillers getting in mad scientist
mode, exploring the limits of whats
possible.
Allen Katz, co-founder of New York
Distilling, laughs at the mad scientist
label, but concedes theres may be
some truth to it. Were just trying to
have fun. We are trying to be purposefully different, not esoteric.
The Brooklyn distillerys Chief
Gowanus New-Netherlands Gin harks
back to the days of early Dutch immigrants who were looking to recreate
genever using readily available ingredients. In their case, it was rye. In this
case, an unaged, double-distilled rye
whiskey is put back in a traditional pot
still with juniper and a small amount of
cluster hops, distilled again, then finished off with three months in a barrel
previously used to age rye.
Were trying to offer something
that in our case has a historical context, which we like, but that most people have never experienced before,
says Katz.
Aromatic and assertive, hop-flavored liquors arent for everyone, but
they play well with people who are
interested in the craft distilling scene
and in trying new things, says
Ehrmann. Its kind of like smoke or

spice; you dont get a huge amount of
people who like it right off the bat.
Anchor Distilling Co. president
David King says there are two types of
people who like Hophead Vodka, the
really quite serious craft mixologists
like it because its so unusual and the
craft beer guys like it.
Though its definitely a niche market, sales have been steady, with
4,000 9-liter cases sold in the past 18
months, says King. Its an acquired
taste, but the people that acquire it like
it very much.
King was literally led by the nose to
the trend when he walked into the hop
room of sister company Anchor
Brewing and was struck by the rich,
funky smell.

Hallmark Channels Kitten Bowl
teams vying for purring rights

WEEKEND JOURNAL

PROJECT
Continued from page 18

By Lynn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Football tampering is inevitable when

felines take the field Sunday in Hallmark Channels Kitten
Bowl a four-team playoff to promote the adoption of
shelter animals.
The channel says kitties simply cant help the fact that
claws and balls dont go together.
Our issues tend to be more related to the size of the
yarnage markers on the kitiron and, of course, the length
of their milk breaks, said Bill Abbott, president and CEO
of Hallmark parent Crown Media Family Networks.
In other words, cute trumps controversy when fluffy, bigeyed kitties are involved, just as it should.
Kitten Bowl II kicks off at noon EST, starting with
semifinal matches between the Northpole Panthers and
Hallmark Channel Hearties, and the Good Witch Wildcats
versus the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Mountain Lions.
The winners then play for ultimate purring rights.
Hallmark goes for giggles as well, with quartercats
dubbed Tawny Unitas, Ryan Fitzcatrick and Joe Montuna.
John Sterling and Mary Carillo host the big game, with
Boomer Esiason serving as Feline Football League commissioner.
The kitty contest isnt the only televised alternative to
Sundays Super Bowl match between the Seattle Seahawks
and New England Patriots.
Fish Bowl II is on the Nat Geo WILD channel (6 p.m. EST)
and theres Animal Planets Puppy Bowl (3 p.m. EST) that
kicked off the trend and is in its 11th year. The latter also
promotes pet adoption.

into the lives of these kids, it makes

what could have been a fresh send up of
genre conventions seem as cheap and
forgettable as all the rest.
In the film, David (Jonny Weston), a
handsome social outcast and brilliant
science mind, finds out that hes been
accepted into MIT but with a scholarship that just isnt enough. While digging around in old projects done by his
late father (an inventor of sorts) to try
to find anything of value, he and his
little sister stumble across an old
video recorder of Davids 7th birthday
party, where they notice a shadowy
figure in the mirror in one of the shots:
a 17-year-old David.
While trying to figure out the mystery of how this could be possible,
David and his friends uncover blueprints for a time travel machine and
immediately get to work building it,
testing it, and, eventually, using it. In
a somewhat amusing wink to the audience, the characters keep restating that
they have to film everything.
But, the first hour of the film is so

relentlessly paced, it feels like its on

fast-forward. From the camera movements to the manic dialogue and energy of the teens, the audience is pummeled with jargon and mostly useless
information as the kids try to get a
handle on their new toy.
There also are a host of just out-ofdate references (jokes about films like
Argo and Looper from 2012) that
only serve to remind that this movie,
previously titled Welcome to
Yesterday has been sitting on the
shelf for a year.
Even though those remain, there
were some last-minute edits that took
place (between even an early January
screening and its Jan. 30 release).
Paramount and Michael Bays
Platinum Dunes took heat for utilizing
footage of an actual plane crash in the
movie. They are in the process of
removing the footage from the film
and promotional materials, the studio
said in a statement on the eve of its
release, declining to specify what will
replace it.
Thats not to say there arent any
good ideas here. When the kids finally
figure out how to jump back in time,
and everything mercifully slows down,
things get pretty fun for a while as

they do exactly what you might expect

teenagers would do going back in
time a few days to ace a failed chemistry test, stand up to your bully, win
some lotto money and so on.
Theres also a great sequence that
brings the teens to the music festival
Lollapalooza that is actually as joyous
to watch as it presumably is to be
there.
Things take a dark turn in the film
when David gets greedy and jumps
back in time alone to try to re-do a
botched moment with his crush (Sofia
Black-DElia) and bad things start happening in the future, but interest wanes
as the stakes get higher.
Director Dean Israelite in his feature
debut proves that he has a keen knack
for conveying teen pluck, friendships
and flirtations. The scenes that show
the actual process of time travel are
even quite thrilling and inventive, but
the found-footage gimmick makes it
nearly impossible to evaluate his talents.
Its time to hang up the GoPro and
return to actual filmmaking.
Project Almanac, a Paramount
Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for
some language and sexual content.
Running time: 106 minutes. One and a
half stars out of four.

opposed to the much cheaper regular

whiskey mashes.
Charbays R5 Lot No. 3, the current
release, is distilled from Bear
Republic Brewerys Racer 5 IPA beer
and it takes 10 gallons of beer to
make a gallon of whiskey, which is
further reduced by the 3 percent
angels share lost during barrel
aging, says Susan Karakasevic, coowner and general manager of

Charbay. The process shows up in the

price, around $80 a bottle.
Charbays venture into hop-flavored whisky dates back to 1999,
when the father-son team of Miles
(Susans husband) and Marko
Karakasevic became intrigued by the
idea of distilling bottle-ready beer.
The first distillation used 20,000 gallons of Pilsner to create 1,000 gallons of whiskey.

South City, he said.
Tracy Choi, with the Housing
Leadership Council of San Mateo
County, echoed those sentiments, and
invited the council to enact policy
which would stand apart from many
other communities in the Bay Area that
allowed developers to drive rates
upward.
Some residents are living in a real
fear that they will be pushed out of
their homes and their community,
said Choi.
Average rental rates in San Mateo
County increased $227 over the course
of the past year, jumping to $2,572
per month, according to a report from
realanswers.biz, a Bay Area-based real
estate demographics website.
Mayor Rich Garbarino worked to
assure residents that their concerns did
not fall on deaf ears, as he reminded
residents that the approval only served
as a working document, and that there
was still time and space to ensure their
fears would be addressed.
This is just the start, Garbarino
said. Its not cast in stone yet.
Councilwoman Liza Normandy
agreed with the mayor, and said the
city leadership is taking the issue of
potentially displacing residents seriously.
Please know that we do care, said
Normandy, who sits on the board of
the Housing Endowment and Regional
Trust of San Mateo County, which
examines regional housing issues.

A pedestrian involved in one of the
most recent major injury accidents was
still hospitalized as of Tuesday after
being struck by a distracted driver Dec.
31, Wall said. The man was walking in
a crosswalk at the intersection of
Airport Boulevard and Butler Avenue
when a driver ran through a red light
while texting, Wall said.
Two pedestrians died just months
apart after being hit by vehicles near
downtown. In March 2012, a 41-yearold man was killed while walking in a

said.
A 74-year-old man died in October

process, not just in South San

Francisco, as communities throughout
the Bay Area are feeling the pain of the
housing crunch.
Normandy said the city would further
address the plans impact on residential development when the housing
element comes before the council this
spring.
Councilman Pradeep Gupta also supported Garbarinos belief that the plan
could be adjusted over the course of its
implementation.
We are setting a target, so that we
dont go completely adrift, he said.

Early phases, funding

Construction for early phases of the
plan are already underway. Last year,
the city began installing new parking
meters and bike racks.
Other initial steps include realigning parking spaces, offering loans to
businesses willing to put new awnings
onto their storefronts, widening sidewalks, adding plazas for gathering and
reserving a section of the citys main
street exclusively for pedestrians.
More ambitious elements of the plan
include redesigning the Caltrain station by extending the platform south
of its current location and constructing
a $20 million underpass at the southeast corner of Grand Avenue and
Airport Boulevard beneath Highway
101.
The city will look to fund the project
through an attempt to secure $49.1
million in grant money from the San
Mateo
County
Transportation
Authority. The city will apply for the
grant allocation at the Transportation
Authoritys board meeting next week.
The underpass would be designed to
grant better access to the Caltrain platform from both directions of Highway
101. Railroad Avenue is also slated to
be extended east so that it connects to
Gateway Boulevard, and new roads will

near Grand and Walnut avenues and hit
by a car, Wall said.
Its critical pedestrians, bicyclists
and drivers remain attentive while
traveling and fault doesnt inherently
rest on a motorist, Wall said.
Ninety-nine times out of 100 the
people on the losing end of an accident
or collision are going to be the bicyclist or pedestrian. But quite frequently
we find the person whos at fault can
very commonly be either a pedestrian
or bicyclist or driver, Wall said.
Officers will be looking for pedestrians who cross the street illegally, fail
to yield to drivers who have the right
of way while bicyclists will be
stopped and issued citations if they
fail to follow the same traffic laws that
apply to motorists, according to
police.

be built to connect Sylvester Road to

the Railroad Avenue extension and
Gateway Boulevard.
The keystone of the downtown project is expected to be City Hall Plaza,
which will offer a space for residents to
congregate on Grand Avenue. Two
other plazas will be constructed near
the Caltrain station and on Linden
Avenue.
According to public documents, the
city also hopes to build roughly
800,000 square feet of commercial
space, 21,000 square feet for industrial
use and 1.2 million square feet of new
office space.
The project could be funded through
creation of financing or assessment
districts, development impact fees, a
city affordable housing trust fund or
city housing bonds. Other options
include using the countys sales tax
revenue from Measure A, a city housing fund, revenue or general obligation bonds, the citys general fund, a
public benefit assessment district,
grants from the region and state or federal funding.
And as the new design for downtown
is approved, so is new policy.
At the same meeting, councilmembers unanimously approved banning
use of electronic cigarettes on Grand
Avenue.
E-cigarettes are devices that deliver
nicotine to users, without containing
tobacco. The citys previously established regulations on smoking did not
apply to the devices, because they do
not contain tobacco and are not lit or
smoked.
Councilwoman Karyl Matsumoto
pushed to ensure that signs would be

of the new legislation.

turns, failing to stop for signs and
signals and not yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks, according to
police.
Plain-clothed officers will act as
pedestrians under carefully calculated
crosswalk stings to target drivers who
fail to yield or engage in unsafe behavior, Wall said.
The police department is also planning to work with the schools to educate students on traffic safety as well as
the fire department to possibly give
out free bicycle helmets, Wall said.
The enhanced operations are funded
with the help of a grant from the
California Office of Traffic Safety
through the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration. In 2012 alone,
612 pedestrians and 124 bicyclists
were killed in California while 4,743
pedestrians and 726 bicyclists were
killed across the nation, according to
police.

All right, title, and interest conveyed and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it
is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.
More fully described in said Deed of Trust
Street Address or other common designation of real property: : 1092 Manzanita Dr,
Pacifica, CA 94044
A.P.N.: 023-412-090
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.
The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (866) 960-8299, visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices/Sales.aspx using
the file number assigned to this case 2014-04163-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale
may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web
site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Ukraine: Russia-backed rebels
overrun another town in east
ARTEMIVSK, Ukraine Ukraines military conceded Thursday that its forces had
been overrun by Russian-backed separatist
forces in another town in their battle to hold
onto a strategically valuable railway hub.
A soldier wounded in combat for the town,
Vuhlehirsk, said armored vehicles and tanks
were used in the attack on government positions, forcing a hasty retreat.
Defense Ministry spokesman Vladislav
Seleznyov said fighting is now under way to
expel the rebels from Vuhlehirsk.
We are trying to push the enemy out of
the town, he said.
The loss of full control over town will further complicate efforts to resist the
onslaught on Debaltseve, a nearby railway
hub that sits between the two main rebelheld cities of Donetsk and Luhansk.
While clashes in east Ukraine rage, hopes
are still being invested in reviving a peace
process that has been undermined with every
new day of fighting.
The leader of the separatists in the
Luhansk region, Igor Plotnitsky, told a
rebel news agency that the success of negotiations planned for Friday will hinge on
lifting what he described as Ukraines economic blockade of breakaway regions.

Lim said the city is perfectly situated to
show football fans a good time.
Its a once in a lifetime opportunity that
were going to be hosting the 50th Super
Bowl, Lim said. Everybodys sort of gearing up, trying to figure out how we can use
that [time] to stimulate some business in
the community. This is going to be a fun
event and we should do everything we can
to bring some of that fun to our neighborhood.
Smack dab in the middle of the San
Francisco International Airport and the
49ers home stadium, officials are confident
the county will serve as a mecca for pigskin
lovers to play, stay and cheer.
I believe that most people will be staying along this corridor and we have one of
the best downtowns in the Peninsula so I
feel like theres going to be a lot of people
here looking for things to do, said Marcus
Clarke, San Mateos economic development director.
LeClair agreed, adding the visitors bureau
has already set aside 7,500 hotel rooms for
media, sponsors and others involved in
Super Bowl operations. Vendors of Super
Bowl packages that include tickets and
hotel stays are also anticipated to start
blocking out rooms quickly, she added.
Promoting public transit is key and the
Bay Areas Super Bowl 50 Host Committee
is looking at various options to cater to
visitors, LeClair said. She also suggested
creating maps outlining Super Bowl events

Airports have begun to prepare for the
anticipated influx of visitors aboard standard flights and private jets. Gretchen
Kelly, San Mateo County Airports division manager, said the San Jose
International Airport will likely take the
lead and reach out to smaller surrounding
airports that can assist with overflow in
the near future.
The Super Bowl 50 Host Committee

Theres a couple people born [or] raised

here, Lynn Swann, who played for the
Pittsburgh Steelers, also Tom Brady and
John Madden who [played] at the College
of San Mateo, Clarke said. Just a lot of
history that wed love to build upon and celebrate.
Clarke said city staff plans to team up
with other Bay Area planners and folks
from the visitors bureau to share ideas and
prepare.
Clarke said hes looking at a marketing
model it used during last years Maker Faire
held at the San Mateo County Event Center.
Downtown San Mateo hosted the first
Innovation Week leading up to the faire,
which catered to the tech scene by providing events such as a cocktail crawl, architectural displays and a Burning Man themed
discussion panel.
Clarke added the city is considering outdoor venues for other events that could
pave way for 2016 Super Bowl viewing parties.
We are going to be experimenting a little bit more with outdoor movies and activating public spaces. So I think theres a
lot of opportunities to play the game not
just in establishments, but in cool spaces
to watch the game and interact with fans,
Clarke said.
Clarke and LeClair said they plan to reach
out to businesses and look forward to creating a master calendar chock full of Super
Bowl events.
In many ways were a football region
with all the people who grew up loving the
49ers and Raiders. Were just so excited to
have such a special institution for the

Its just such a special, special honor.

Gallagher said.
Sedillo is due back in court March 5 for a
preliminary hearing.
Sheriffs investigators and Children and

Reverse Mortgage Financial Assessment to begin March 2015

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a nancial assessment for
reverse mortgage borrowers that will take effect
March 2, 2015
HUD writes in explaining the purpose of nancial
assessment, The mortgagee must evaluate the
mortgagors willingness and capacity to timely meet
his or her nancial obligations and to comply with the
mortgage requirements. The mortgage requirements
include paying property taxes, homeowners insurance
and keeping up home maintenance.
HUD states, In conducting this nancial
assessment, mortgagees must take into consideration that some mortgagors seek a HECM due
to nancial difculties, which may be reected
in the mortgagors credit report and/or property
charge payment history. The mortgagee must also
consider to what extent the proceeds of the HECM

could provide a solution to any such nancial difculties. For borrowers who do not demonstrate
their willingness to meet their loan obligations, life
expectancy set-asides will be required.
The mortgagee letter also species documents that
must be collected and submitted to all borrowers. The
documentation has been updated to include Financial
Assessment Documentation including, credit history,
income verication, asset verication, property charge
verication, residual income analysis, documentation
of extenuating circumstances or compensating factors
and calculations for life expectancy and residual
income shortfall set-asides.
If you have a question about qualifying for a reverse
mortgage today, or how the nancial assessment will
impact your situation, contact us today.

A reverse mortgage is a loan that enable

homeowners 62 or older to borrow against the
equity in their home without having to give up
title, or take on a monthly mortgage payment.
The money received can be used for any purpose.
The loan amount depends on the borrowers age,
current interest rates, and the value of the home.
Borrower must maintain property as primary
residence and remain current on property taxes
and homeowners insurance. A reverse mortgage
does not have to be repaid until the borrower
sells or moves out of the home permanently,
and the repayment amount cannot exceed the
value of the home. After the loan is repaid any
remaining equity is distributed to the borrower or
the borrowers estate.
