Educators cheer demise of performance index

Officials say new system will be more comprehensive, better reflect modern teaching techniques
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Local education officials support a decision by the state governing board to do away with the
Academic Performance Index, or
API, which has long been used to
gauge the success of schools and
districts throughout California.
Gary Waddell, deputy superintendent in the San Mateo County

Office of Education, lauded the

unanimous decision of the state
Board of Education earlier this
month to suspend the API for the
current school year, while it works
to develop a new system that better reflects the modern education
model.
API tracks the achievement of
schools throughout the state by
assigning a numeric value derived
from standardized test scores,

which can have a widespread

impact on a districts reputation,
and even affect real estate prices in
a region.
Waddell said as state assessments, curriculum and funding
models have all shifted in recent
years, it is also due time to reevaluate the system that tracks student
and school success.
I think it makes sense to have a
measure that reflects more of those

moving parts and that complexity, he said.

Nancy Magee, spokeswoman
for the county Office of Education,
echoed those sentiments in an
email.
Our position is to support the
move away from reliance on API
as the states assessment measure, she said.
API scores range on a scale from
200 to 1,000, with a target of 800

for all state schools. But state

officials have expressed concern
that the model does not offer a full
perspective on a schools achievement.
One of my top priorities is
developing an accountability system that meets Californias needs
by looking at a broad range of
measures defining student and

hen the Spanish declared ownership of Alta California, it gave

the church the right to govern it
and do with it what it seemed fit. However,
the Army was to maintain order and protect
the church. This arrangement caused friction
from the beginning. The church controlled
the land and did not give out grants of the
land and they also did not allow any
exchange of merchandise by any foreign
power. This all changed when Mexico
gained control of the Spanish Empire in
1822. Commerce was then allowed and land
was granted to individuals that were valuable to the Mexican government.
The main merchandise Mexicans had to
sell was what came from their lands cattle.
The meat could not be exported as it
spoiled fast so that left the hide as a marketable commodity. Its use as clothes, jackets, hats, etc. was in great demand by the
Americans on the East Coast.
The few ships that had sailed into the San
Francisco Bay prior to 1822 had used the
port that faced the Presidio at the northwest
section of the Peninsula. It was inadequate
as a port due to the swamp and when the
Yankee Schooners began arriving en masse
a new port was sought out.

Yerba Buena Port

The best port, although far from perfect,
was situated on the east side of the
Peninsula. It was called the Yerba Buena
Port. A problem immediately arose the
Mission Dolores had been the center of
activity for the Spanish and it was a few
miles distance for the new port. For years,
there had been a trail, called Calle de la
Fundacion, that led from the Presidio to the
area of Port Yerba Buena.
It was used for travel from the Presidio to
an area where a few men grew vegetables
such as potatoes. There was a sweat house
by Montgomery Street where the natives
steam bathed and performed rituals before a
big hunting trip.
The lower part of this area had a sandy
beach by the Bay then the land began rising
in elevation slowly until Kearny Street was
reached.
There the Calle de la Fundacion (which
was later named Kearny Street) became a
border where the terrain became steep and
difficult to climb.
In 1835, a pueblo (El Paraje de Yerba
Buena) was authorized between Broadway
and Pine and Stockton streets and the Bay.
There was an area between Kearny, Clay and
Washington streets and Brenham Place that
was set aside, in traditional Mexican fashion, for the function of the government.
Candelario Miramontes, who lived by the
Presidio, planted potatoes on the site.
Miramontes later was granted a Rancho in
the Half Moon Bay area.

Mexican property
In 1834, Captain Don William Antonio
Richardson platted out the area in 100-vera
lots (275 square feet each). Richardson had
married a Spanish woman, Dona Maria
Antonia Martinez, so he was eligible to purchase Mexican property.
He, his wife and three children pitched a
tent on June 25, 1835 at the corner of
Washington and Grant streets (827 Grant
St.). Three months later, he paid $25 for the
lot and built a more substantial house and a
fence to protect his family from the mountain lions and bears.

The Portsmouth Square attracted hotels and gambling businesses almost immediately after
Yerba Buena was established.
In 1844, the Mexican governor, Jose
Figueroa, ordered that a Custom House (56
feet long, 22.5 feet wide) be built at the corner of Brenham Place and Washington
Street. He had four rooms, two long verandas and a tile roof.
At 6 a.m., July 9 1846, the men of the
USS Portsmouth were ordered to breakfast
then they were to dress in clean white
frocks, blue pants, black hats and shoes and
prepare for muster. Word had come to
Captain John Montgomery that the
American flag had been raised in Monterey
and Commodore John Slope had ordered
Montgomery to raise the flag in Yerba
Buena.
Marines under the command of Lt. Watson
were to accompany Montgomery and the
group. After landing at Clarks Point (Yerba
Buena cove) the group marched to the
Customs house accompanied by the tune of
Yankee Doodle.

Alta California
With 30 or 40 people of all nations looking on, Captain Montgomery declared Alta
California in control by the American government.
By Jan. 30, 1847, 20 buildings clustered
around Portsmouth Square. Four of them
were shops, one was a hide warehouse, one a
mule-powered gristmill, one a wash house,
two doubled as hotels and tap rooms and one
was a saloon.
The first public school was built in the
Square in 1847, the first one in California.
On May 11, 1848, the discovery of gold was
announced from the veranda.

American flag
The first Admission Day celebration was
held Oct. 29, 1850 when California became
the 31st state. The first American flag was
raised here in the square that would eventually be named after the USS Portsmouth that
anchored in the Bay and took control of
Yerba Buena.
The pueblo was renamed San Francisco in
1847 by the alcalde Washington A. Bartlett
(as the mayor was called) and the city had
157 buildings surrounding the plaza.

Bill aims to protect used car buyers

Consumer Automotive Recall Safety Act prompts advocacy group concern
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Although an attempt to create a

law protecting buyers of used cars
has garnered the support of former
opponents, some worry this
years
proposed
Consumer
Automotive Recall Safety Act
doesnt go far enough.
This week, Assemblyman Rich
Gordon, D-Menlo Park, revealed
specic language for Assembly
Bill 287, the CARS Act, which
would increase consumers rights
to know if a recall has been issued
on a used car they aim to buy or
rent.
According to the National
Highway Trafc Administration, a
record-breaking 63. 8 million
vehicle recalls were issued last
year, more than double in any previous year.
Motor vehicle safety standards
are more demanding now than at
any other point in time and new
vehicles sold today are the safest
in history, the exponential
growth of recalls issued on motor
vehicles has caused confusion and
apathy for far too many
Californians, the bills language
states. According to the National
Highway
Trafc
Safety
Administration and others, about
one-third of all recalled vehicles

are
never
repaired.
Based on this
startling data,
Gordon said its
critical
the
state work to
ensure xing
recalls is easy
and more accesRich Gordon sible for consumers by making manufacturers
pay for repairs and provide free
rentals while automotive work is
done.
This year, Gordon has received
support from the California New
Car Dealers Association an
industry representative group that
took issue with similar bills in
previous years. Instead, Gordon is
now receiving dissent from a consumer advocacy group, the
Consumers for Auto Reliability
and Safety, that fears his bill will
inadvertently allow consumers to
drive hazardous vehicles.
Gordons bipartisan Assembly
Bill 287 would increase disclosures to consumers and prohibit
the sale, lease or rental of cars
under the established Stop Sale,
Stop Drive recall standard.
The bill would require dealers
who are afliated with a particular
make x recalls before selling a
used car while others must at min-

imum notify a buyer or renter.

For example, if a Ford dealer is
selling a used Mustang with a
recall, it must have it xed prior to
sale. However, if the Ford dealer is
selling a used Toyota, or if its a
used car dealership or individual
unafliated with a particular manufacturer, the seller must notify the
buyer if a recall has been issued.
Representatives
from
the
Consumers for Auto Reliability
and Safety say the bill hurts consumers as dealers can sell potentially dangerous cars so long as
they provide notice. Recalls cover
a broad range of issues from a hazardous faulty ignition switch to a
page missing from an owners
manual.
The Stop Sale, Stop Drive category makes up a small percentage
of recalls compared to a range of
still hazardous defects that the
CARS Act would make eligible for
sale with disclosure, said
Rosemary Shahan, president of
Consumers for Auto Reliability
and Safety.
Shahan said rental car companies currently voluntarily agree
not to provide cars that have
unxed recalls and fears the CARS
Act would allow them to rent
unsafe vehicles so long as they
notify consumers.
Shahan argues manufacturers

often claim certain unsafe defects

are acceptable and worries there
are potential consequences of the
CARS Act.
I think theyre trying to legislate on a complete fallacy. Its just
not true that these cars are OK. It is
a big deal, it is a threat to peoples
health and safety. And its not
only the people who buy the cars,
its if youre riding as a passenger,
or if youre someone whos sharing the road with a [recalled] car,
Shahan said.
Shahan said her organization
prefers the CARS Act require dealers x recalls before selling to a
consumer, regardless if theyre
afliated with a manufacturer or
not. Shahan also argues most people are dependent on mobility and,
despite being informed, may drive
faulty cars to get to work and
endanger the greater public.
Gordon said the CARS Act greatly improves upon current law,
which already allows used cars
with recalls be sold without being
xed or notice provided.
I think what were doing here is
providing a very important level
of consumer safety and protection
that doesnt exist at present,
Gordon said.
Furthermore, Gordon anticipates market demands will impact
the industry encouraging sellers

or dealers to get recalls xed prior

to sale or rent.
I think disclosure is a really
critical rst step. If Im looking to
buy a car and Im told that the car
has been under recall and Im told
theres a pass to get it xed, I can
make informed decisions about
whether Im going to buy that car
or not. And its certainly going to
give me pause, Gordon said.
As current laws prevent new cars
with issued recalls from being
sold, Gordon said the CARS Act
will help close the gap of overlooked defective used or rental
cars.
I think it gives the consumer
important information for them to
make informed decisions. Part of
the challenge is rental activity,
used car sales activity. Its the
manufacturers that create the
capacity for the repair and were
dependent upon them getting the
parts available, getting the recall
repaired and we have to nd a way
to have them have a stake in this
game, Gordon said. I think the
bill does that and will facilitate, at
the end of the day, getting more
cars repaired and far fewer cars off
the road that have not been xed
for a recall than we have today.

Women earn less on California Capitol

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Women
working for California lawmakers
earn less than their male counterparts, according to a newspapers
analysis reported Saturday that
exposes an inequality perpetuated
by those who set state policy.
Compared to men, women who
work for the state Assembly earn
92 cents on the dollar, and in the
Senate women make 94 cents on
the dollar, The Sacramento Bee
reported , citing its analysis of

2, 100 employees. The report

found that five top earners in both
houses are men, and men also
make up 61 percent of the 41
staffers earning $150,000 or more
annually.
Women on the legislative staff
do better than women in
Californias overall workforce
who earn 84 cents on the dollar
the analysis finds, but a gap
remains, drawing calls for change.
Equal pay for equal work is
long overdue, said state Sen.
Hannah-Beth Jackson, a Democrat

from Santa Barbara. The time is

now. It isnt just the right thing
for California women, it is the
right thing for our economy and
our state.
In recent weeks, state lawmakers
have introduced measures to close
the gap, which has left women at a
financial disadvantage both in
their working years and later in
retirement, the newspaper reported. The National Partnership for
Women & Families estimates that
the inequality costs women across
California $37 billion annually.

If theyre going to talk the

talk, its very smart for them to
get their own house in order and
walk the walk, said Lisa Maatz of
the American Association of
University Women.
There is progress with a few
women taking prominent positions in the last year. Debbie
Manning made history as the
Senates first woman appointed as
sergeant-at-arms,
earning
$171,480 annually. Debra Gravert
was promoted to the Assemblys
chief administrative officer after

her male predecessor retired; she

earns $178, 104 annually, the
newspaper reported.
Claire Conlon, a spokeswoman
for Democratic Senate President
Pro Tem Kevin de Leon of Los
Angeles, said in a statement that
the Senate is at the forefront of
proposing policies that close the
gap. Our long-term objective has
been and continues to be making
this peoples institution a model
of workplace fairness and equality, the statement said. We move
closer to that goal every day.

Experts: Sex bias case will embolden women despite verdict

By Sudhin Thanawala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A long

legal battle over accusations that a
prominent Silicon Valley venture
capital firm demeaned women and
held them to a different standard
than their male colleagues became
a flashpoint in the ongoing discussion about gender inequity at
elite technology and venture capital firms.
Though Ellen Pao lost her lawsuit against Kleiner Perkins
Caufield & Byers, Silicon Valley
observers say her case and the
attention it received will embolden women in the industry and continue to spur firms to examine
their practices and cultures for
gender bias.
This case has been a real wake
up call for the technology industry
in general and the venture capital
community in particular, said
Deborah Rhode, a law professor at

S t a n f o r d
University who
teaches gender
equity law.
The jury of
six men and six
women rejected
all of Paos
claims against
Kleiner Perkins
Ellen Pao
on
Friday,
determining the firm did not discriminate against her because she
is a woman and did not retaliate
against her by failing to promote
her and firing her after she filed a
sex discrimination complaint.
In making their case during the
five-week trial, Paos attorneys
presented a long list of alleged
indignities to which their client
was subjected: an all-male dinner
at the home of Vice President Al
Gore; a book of erotic poetry from
a partner; being asked to take
notes like a secretary at a meeting;
being cut out of emails and meet-

ings by a male colleague with

whom she broke off an affair; and
talk about pornography aboard a
private plane.
But the heart of their argument
was that Pao was an accomplished
junior partner who was passed
over for a promotion and fired
because the firm used different
standards to judge men and
women.
Kleiner Perkins attorney,
Lynne Hermle, countered that Pao
failed as an investor at the company and sued to get a big payout as
she was being shown the door.
They used emails and testimony
from the firms partners to dispute
Paos claims and paint her as a
chronic complainer who twisted
facts and circumstances in her lawsuit and had a history of conflicts
with colleagues that contributed
to the decision to let her go.
Rhode and other experts say
Kleiner Perkins and the venture
capital industry in general did not

come out looking good even

though they won the case.
Venture capital firms recognize
its not appropriate to be out in
the streets celebrating, said
Freada Kapor Klein, founder of the
Level Playing Field Institute, a
nonprofit that aims to boost
minority representation in science, technology, engineering
and math fields. They dont have
the moral high ground.
Even before the Pao trial started,
a succession of employment statistics released during the past 10
months brought the technology
industrys lack of diversity into
sharper focus.
Women hold just 15 percent to
20 percent of the technology jobs
at Google, Apple, Facebook and
Yahoo, according to company disclosures. The data were mortifying
for an industry that has positioned
itself as a meritocracy where intelligence and ingenuity are supposed to be more important than

appearances or connections.
The venture capital industry is
even more male-dominated, with a
study released last year by Babson
College in Massachusetts finding
that women filled just 6 percent of
partner-level positions at 139
venture capital firms in 2013,
down from 10 percent in 1999.
Klein said before the verdict she
was contacted by more than a
dozen venture capital and technology companies asking how they
could improve the environment as
a result of the Pao case. She
expects some firms will be smug
after the verdict and do little to
change for fear of being dragged
through the mud while others will
step up.
The attention surrounding the
case makes it more likely other
women who believe they have
been discriminated against will go
to court, said David Lewis, CEO of
OperationsInc., a human resources
consulting and contracting firm.

UC Irvine student dies at

electronic music festival
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN BERNARDINO A 22-year-old man

who died earlier this month after a seizure at
an electronic music festival in San
Bernardino County was a University of
California, Irvine senior.
The Orange County Register reports that
John Hoang Dinh Vo of San Diego was
majoring in biological sciences and
mourned on social media by members of his
Lambda Theta Delta fraternity.
You will always be here with us spiritually, one man wrote on Instagram with a
photo of him and Vo. Another photo showed
a makeshift memorial of candles, cigarettes, Vodka bottles and Rockstar Energy
Drink cans surrounding Vos fraternity
photo.
Vo was at the Beyond Wonderland event at
the San Manuel Amphitheater on March 20
when coroners officials say he apparently
suffered a possible seizure and went into car-

diac arrest at about 10:15 p.m.

He was taken to Loma Linda Medical
Center and pronounced dead at 11:08 p.m.
His cause of death hasnt been released.
He died on the first night of the massive
gathering hosted by Insomniac Events,
which stopped hosting events at the Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum after a 15year-old girl took ecstasy at the Electric
Daisy Carnival and died in 2010.
Electronic music events were banned at
most San Bernardino County-owned facilities in 2010 after the overdose death in Los
Angeles, but it didnt affect events at the
amphitheater by Live Nation. The entertainment company subleases the amphitheater to Insomniac for Beyond Wonderland.
Insomniac
spokeswoman
Jennifer
Forkish called Vos death heartbreaking.
While the cause of his passing will take
time to determine, what we do know is that
somewhere his family and friends are grieving, she wrote.

NSA mulled ending spy program

By Ken Dilanian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The National

Security Agency considered abandoning its secret program to collect and store American calling
records in the months before leaker Edward Snowden revealed the
practice, current and former intelligence officials say, because
some officials believed the costs
outweighed the meager counterterrorism benefits.
After the leak and the collective
surprise around the world, NSA
leaders strongly defended the
phone records program to
Congress and the public, but without disclosing the internal debate.
The proposal to kill the program was circulating among top
managers but had not yet reached
the desk of Gen. Keith Alexander,
then the NSA director, according

to current and former intelligence

officials who would not be quoted
because the details are sensitive.
Two former senior NSA officials
say they doubt Alexander would
have approved it.
Still, the behind-the-scenes
NSA concerns, which have not
been reported previously, could be
relevant as Congress decides
whether to renew or modify the
phone records collection when the
law authorizing it expires in June.
The internal critics pointed out
that the already high costs of vacuuming up and storing the to and
from information from nearly
every domestic landline call were
rising, the system was not capturing most cellphone calls, and program was not central to unraveling
terrorist plots, the officials said.
They worried about public outrage
if the program ever was revealed.
After the program was disclosed,

civil liberties
adv o cat es
attacked it, saying the records
could give a
secret intelligence agency a
road map to
Americans priBarack Obama vate activities.
NSA officials
presented a forceful rebuttal that
helped shaped public opinion.
Responding to widespread criticism, President Barack Obama in
January 2014 proposed that the
NSA stop collecting the records,
but instead request them when
needed in terrorism investigations
from telephone companies, which
tend to keep them for 18 months.
Yet the president has insisted
that legislation is required to
adopt his proposal, and Congress
has not acted. So the NSA contin-

ues to collect and store records of

private U.S. phone calls for use in
terrorism investigations under
Section 215 of the Patriot Act.
Many lawmakers want the program to continue as is.
Alexander argued that the program was an essential tool because
it allows the FBI and the NSA to
hunt for domestic plots by searching American calling records
against phone numbers associated
with international terrorists. He
and other NSA officials support
Obamas plan to let the phone
companies keep the data, as long
as the government quickly can
search it.
Civil liberties activists say it
was never a good idea to allow a
secret intelligence agency to store
records of Americans private
phone calls, and some are not sure
the government should search
them in bulk. They say govern-

ment can point to only a single

domestic terrorism defendant who
was implicated by a phone records
search under the program, a San
Diego taxi driver who was convicted of raising $15,000 for a
Somali terrorist group.
Some fault NSA for failing to
disclose the internal debate about
the program.
This is consistent with our
experience with the intelligence
community, said Rep. Justin
Amash, R-Mich. Even when we
have classified briefings, its like
a game of 20 questions and we
cant get to the bottom of anything.
The proposal to halt phone
records collection that was circulating in 2013 was separate from a
2009 examination of the program
by NSA, sparked by objections

Indiana governor: New law

not about discrimination
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS Indiana Gov. Mike

Pence defended the new state law thats garnered widespread criticism over concerns it
could foster discrimination against gays
and lesbians and said Sunday it wasnt a
mistake to have enacted it.
Pence appeared on ABCs This Week with
George Stephanopoulos to discuss the
measure he signed last week prohibiting
state laws that substantially burden a persons ability to follow his or her religious
beliefs. The definition of person includes
religious institutions, businesses and associations.
Since the Republican governor signed the
bill into law Thursday, Indiana has been
widely criticized by businesses and organizations around the nation, as well as on
social media with the hashtag (hash)boycottindiana. Already, consumer review service Angies List has said it will suspend a
planned expansion in Indianapolis because
of the new law.
Pence did not answer directly when asked
at least six times whether under the law it
would be legal for a merchant to refuse to
serve gay customers. This is not about discrimination, this is about empowering people to confront government overreach, he
said. Asked again, he said, Look, the issue
here is still is tolerance a two-way street or
not.

Sexual orientation not covered

Sexual orientation is not covered under
Indianas civil rights law. Pence has said he
wont be pursuing that.
The governor told the Indianapolis Star
on Saturday that he was in discussions with
legislative leaders over the weekend and

expects a clarification bill to be introduced

in the coming week. He addressed that
Sunday, saying, if the General Assembly
... sends me a bill that adds a section that
reiterates and amplifies and clarifies what
the law really is and what it has been for the
last 20 years, then Im open to that.
But Pence was adamant that the measure,
slated to take effect in July, will stick.
Were not going to change this law, he
said.
House GOP caucus spokeswoman Tory
Flynn referred questions about those discussions and possible language to the governors office; it didnt response to a request
for comment Sunday.

Gay marriage question

Some national gay-rights groups say its
a way for lawmakers in Indiana and several
other states where such bills have been proposed this year to essentially grant a statesanctioned waiver for discrimination as the
nations highest court prepares to mull the
gay marriage question.
Supporters of the law, including Pence,
contend discrimination claims are
overblown and insist it will keep the government from compelling people to provide
services they find objectionable on religious grounds. They also maintain courts
havent allowed discrimination under similar laws covering the federal government
and 19 other states. Arkansas is poised to
follow in Indianas footsteps, with a final
vote expected next week in the House on
legislation that Republican Gov. Asa
Hutchinson has said hell sign.
Josh Earnest, President Barack Obamas
spokesman, appeared on This Week just
after Pence, and said the debate isnt a political argument.

Fiorina likely GOP candidate

WASHINGTON Former technology

executive Carly Fiorina says she is more

Republican presidential nomination. And
she is questioning the confidence people

Hillary Rodham Clinton.
On Fox News Sunday, Fiorina challenged several Clinton comments, including saying she used a personal email
account for State Department work because
it would be easier to carry one device than

two. She said such statements raise a confidence

issue about the former
secretary of state, senator and first lady.
Fiorina also
said
Clinton is not candid.
She said that suggests
her character is flawed.

Community stands by German co-pilot

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONTABAUR, Germany The

pastor of the Lutheran church in
Andreas Lubitzs hometown said
Sunday that the community stands
by him and his family, despite the
fact that prosecutors blame the 27year-old co-pilot for causing the
plane crash that killed 150 people
in southern France.
The town of Montabaur has been
rattled by the revelation that
Lubitz, who first learned to fly at a
nearby glider club, may have
intentionally caused Tuesdays
crash of Germanwings Flight
9525.
For us, it makes it particularly
difficult that the only victim from
Montabaur is suspected to have
caused this tragedy, this crash
although this has not been finally
confirmed, but a lot is indicating
that and we have to face this,
pastor Michael Dietrich said.
He spoke to The Associated
Press after holding a church service Sunday to commemorate the

crash victims
and
support
their families.
The
copilot, the family belong to
our community,
and we stand by
this, and we
Andreas Lubitz embrace them
and will not
hide this, and want to support the
family in particular, Dietrich
said.
He added that there is no direct
contact with the family at the
moment, but that he believes they
are receiving good assistance.
French prosecutors havent
questioned the family yet out of
decency and respect for their
pain, Marseille prosecutor Brice
Robin said.
Authorities are trying to understand what made Lubitz lock his
fellow pilot out of the cockpit and
ignore his pleas to open the door
before slamming the plane into a
mountain on what should have

been a routine flight from

Barcelona to Duesseldorf.
French officials refused to confirm or deny a partial transcript
that German newspaper Bild am
Sontag said it had obtained of the
cockpit recording. The paper
reported Sunday that the pilot left
for the toilet shortly before 10:30
a.m. and was heard trying unsuccessfully to get into the cockpit
again a few minutes later, then
shouting for Gods sake open the
door.

Break open door

After several more minutes in
which the pilot could be heard trying to break open the door, the
plane crashed into the mountainside, according to Bild am
Sonntag, which didnt say how it
obtained the report.
Brice, the Marseille prosecutor
said that none of the bodies recovered so far have been identified,
denying German media reports
that Lubitzs body had been found.
Tests on the body of the co-pilot

may provide clues on any medical

treatment he was receiving.
Germany prosecutors said Friday
that Lubitz was hiding an illness
and sick notes for the day of the
crash from his employer.
Dietrich, the pastor, said he
knew Lubitz as a teenager, when
he attended religious education 13
years ago, and his mother, who
worked as a part-time organist in
the community.
When I worked with her or
talked to her, it was very good and
very harmonious. We had good
conversations, Dietrich said. I
know her and her family. This does
not make sense. It is incomprehensible for me, for us, for everyone who knew her and the family.

No obvious signs
From what Ive heard, there
were no obvious signs that there
is anything in the background that
could lead to this, he added.
In Rome, Pope Francis on
Sunday prayed for the victims of
the plane crash, citing in particu-

lar the 16 German students returning from an exchange trip to

Spain.
Francis offered the prayer after
Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peters
Square at the start of Holy Week.
In Le Vernet, a town near the
crash site, families and friends of
those killed were still coming to
terms with what had happened.
Members of the family shed
tears as they went to see the site,
said Ippei Yamanaka, co-worker of
Japanese passenger Junichi Sato
who died in the crash. It was particularly moving to see Mr. Satos
father asking the leader of the
Kempeitai (a Japanese military
rescue team), with many tears in
his eyes, for them to continue the
search operation and for it to finish earlier even by just one day.
His wife says she still she cannot believe what has happened,
saying that it almost feels like her
husband is away on his business
trip and that it still feels like he is
going to return soon, Yamanaka
said.

Arab League unveils joint military force amid Yemen crisis

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt

A two-day Arab summit ended
Sunday with a vow to defeat
Iranian-backed Shiite rebels in
Yemen and the formal unveiling of
plans to form a joint Arab intervention force, setting the stage
for a potentially dangerous clash
between U.S.-allied Arab states
and Tehran over influence in the

region.
Arab leaders taking turns to
address the gathering spoke
repeatedly of the threat posed to
the regions Arab identity by what
they called moves by foreign or
outside parties to stoke sectarian, ethnic or religious rivalries in
Arab states all thinly-veiled
references to Iran, which has in
recent years consolidated its hold
in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and now

Yemen.
The summits final communique
made similarly vague references,
but the Arab League chief, Nabil
Elaraby, was unequivocal during a
news conference later, singling
out Iran for what he said was its
intervention in many nations.
A summit resolution said the
newly unveiled joint Arab defense
force would be deployed at the
request of any Arab nation facing a

national security threat and that it

would also be used to combat terrorist groups.
The agreement came as U.S. and
other Western diplomats were
pushing to meet a Tuesday deadline to reach a deal with Iran that
would restrict its nuclear program
in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
The Saudis and their allies in the
Gulf fear that a nuclear deal

between Washington and Tehran

will free Irans hands to bolster its
influence in places like Syria,
Lebanon, Iraq and in Sunni-ruled
Bahrain, which has a Shiite majority. They believe the air campaign
in Yemen and a joint Arab force
would empower them to stand up
to what they see as Irans bullying. The United States has sought

Islamic State beheads

eight Shiites in Syria
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT A new video released by the

Islamic State group on Sunday shows its
fighters cutting off the heads of eight men
said to be Shiite Muslims. The video posted
on social media said the men were beheaded
in the central Syrian province of Hama.
The video could not be immediately independently verified, but it appeared genuine
and corresponded to other AP reporting of
the events. The Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights also said
that the video was authentic.
IS has beheaded scores of people since
capturing large parts of Iraq and Syria last
year in a self-declared caliphate.
In the video, the men, wearing orange
uniforms with their hands tied behind their
backs, were led forward in a field by teenage
boys. They were then handed over to a
group of IS fighters. A boy wearing a black

uniform hands out knives to the fighters,

who then behead the hostages.
An Islamic State fighter speaks in the
video, using a derogatory term for Shiites
and calling them impure infidels. The IS
fighter said in the video that the current military campaign against IS will only make
the militant group stronger.
Our swords will soon, God willing, reach
the Nuseiries and their allies like Bashar and
his party, the man said referring to Syrian
President Bashar Assad and Lebanons militant Hezbollah group that is fighting on his
side.
In Lebanon, the state-run National News
Agency quoted the family of Younes Hujairi,
who was kidnapped from his hometown of
Arsal near the Syrian border in January, as
saying he had been beheaded. NNA quoted
members of Hujairis family as saying they
have seen pictures of an IS fighter carrying
his severed head on social media.

Mike Scanlon community servant

By Rosanne Foust and Jim Hartnett

ike Scanlon, the recently

retired head of the San
Mateo County Transit
District, the Caltrain Joint Powers
Agency and the San Mateo County
Transportation Agency was far more
than the transportation guy. As
much as he has accomplished in his
years of extraordinary contributions
to the health and success of our transportation system, Mike, the community servant will also be sorely
missed.
Mike has helped champion and
change the lives of the youth in our
community, served those who most
people wouldnt, and promoted a
healthy community for all.
As chair and board member of the
all-volunteer Sequoia Awards, Mike
helped raise more than $1.5 million
toward scholarships for high school
seniors who have served our community with outstanding community
service. There are so many stories to
tell of youth, whether from backgrounds of incredible need or tremendous privilege, who have served seniors, the needy, the disabled, the
environment and their fellow youth.
Mike has acknowledged them, their
families and their teachers for their
ever so many contributions with
scholarships aimed to help them on
their way to college, but also

designed to continue to inspire them

to continuing volunteer service.
Mike worked tirelessly, always with
a smile and infectious enthusiasm,
according to
Dennis McBride, a
Sequoia Awards
board member and
trustee of the
Redwood City
Elementary School
District.
As chair and a
longtime board
member of the
Service League of
San Mateo County,
Mike helped lead an organization that
serves those who are not popular but
whose needs affect the entire community. The Service League helps rebuild
the lives of county jail inmates, former inmates and their families by providing humanitarian, educational,
substance abuse, recovery, spiritual
and personal growth services.
According to board Chair and
Redwood City Councilwoman Alicia
Aguirre, Mike not only displayed his
powerful intellect and leadership
skills, but an incredible optimism to
his volunteer work with the Service
League. You know he really cares.
Mike promoted sustainable,

improved heart health for our community as chair of American Heart

Associations San Mateo County
Heart Walk. He took on an extraordinary role as chair of the Board of the
United Way of the Bay Area one of
the leading nonprots in the Bay Area
whose vision is to cut poverty in half
in the Bay Area. With a theme of
enabling people to strengthen our
community by investing in one
another, United Way Bay Area collaborates with hundreds of nonprots,
individuals, foundations, corporations and labor groups with a variety
of programs and efforts. According to
United Way CEO Susan Wilson, a term
that really denes Mike is love.
Mike Scanlon is a community servant who serves individuals and an
entire community with enthusiasm,
optimism, vision, compassion and
passion. He leaves a tremendous legacy and we, in San Mateo County and
the entire Bay Area owe him a signicant debt of gratitude. Thank you
Mike.

Desalination, not
high-speed rail
Editor,
Smarter than you-and-I and more
enlightened Sacramento Democrats
would rather waste hundreds of billions of California taxpayer dollars
on a useless high-speed train (that
polls show Californians wont ride)
than spend just a fraction of that
money on permanently xing
Californias water drought problem.
Instead of spending taxpayer
money to build enough desalination
plants to tap into the unlimited ocean
water to turn it into useable drinking
water (a true need), Sacramento
Democrats would rather waste billions
feeding the inuential construction
and labor unions who donate millions
to Democrats and who keep pushing
high-speed rail.
Democrats would rather keep
imposing new and more restrictive

mprovements are coming to both the hair-raising

ramps at the El Camino Real/State Route 92 interchange and San Mateos downtown jewel Central
Park. But anticipated changes to trafc patterns are an easier sell than changes to the historic park.
If you drive south on El Camino Real during the morning rush and try to enter State Route 92 east toward
Hayward you must rst avoid the rush of cars exiting the
freeway. Sometimes the drivers speeding down the
offramp dont realize they could be smashing into drivers
attempting to enter. Hazard
#2. Once on the freeway
heading east, if you desire
to exit at Delaware Street,
you must avoid incoming
trafc which shares a short
lane with you as you try to
leave. Hazard #3. If you are
heading west on 92, you
may be cruising along
when suddenly trafc
comes to a sudden halt at
the El Camino Real north
exit because there is a trafc light below which causes a backup. At last a x
worked out by the city of
San Mateo and Caltrans is
soon to happen. It cant happen soon enough.
***
As for the citys crown jewel, planners and the public
have been at work with a variety of options to improve
the park. Many like things just the way they are and are
wary of possible relocation of the tennis courts and the
Self-Help for the Elderly senior center. The three proposals awaiting further community input and a decision by
the Park and Recreation Commission include keeping the
Kohl Pumphouse and Japanese Tea Garden, upgrading the
playground and creating a larger event center lawn. The
tennis courts could be replaced by a new recreation center
and a plaza on Fifth Avenue; or by permanent kiosks and a
huge plaza to hold events; or by a paved open air plaza
with trellis-covered seating which could also hold events
or a farmers market. There has also been talk of improving the connections to downtown.
***
People who regularly use the courts are complaining and
have started a petition drive. True, the courts leave much
to be desired. No matter how much maintenance the city
provides, the cracks always seem to return. But the courts
are in a special place in the park and downtown, easily
accessible to those who live close by. And easy to view
by people walking or driving on Fifth Avenue. Its a nice
touch to see people of all ages and incomes and color
using these free courts. For a long time, there has been an
ongoing game which solo players can join. This is especially popular with the senior tennis-playing population.
I agree with Councilman David Lim who told Daily
Journal reporter Samantha Weigel, I think tennis courts
are central to Central Park. Theyre the only city courts in
the greater downtown area and I think they add an important element of recreation to our downtown. So I think
they should remain in Central Park.
The other thorny issue is Self-Help for the Elderly,
which took over operation of the recreation center when
the city, in leaner times, wanted it closed because it
already had a senior center on the Alameda de las Pulgas.
And keeping it open was expensive. Self-Help for the
Elderly, a San Francisco-based nonprot which caters to
Asian seniors, stepped in to offer a way to keep the center
open. They received discounted rent for their efforts. SelfHelp, primarily through the efforts of one of its board
members, Rosalyn Koo, became such a political force in
the community that it was difcult to raise rents and/or
not renew the contract. Based on past history, they will
not go quietly unless they are offered space in a new recreation center.
***
What is so special about Central Park is that it offers an
oasis of tranquility in the midst of an increasingly busy
downtown. The large lawn areas and lovely ower arrangements, trees and plants throughout the park create the perfect environment to enjoy and relax. And of course, the
Japanese Tea Garden, the jewel in the jewel will remain
intact. There is always a need for more athletic elds and
recreation centers but the city also needs, as it continues
to grow, a place of peace and quiet. That is what is so special in addition to its other attributes about Central Park.
Hopefully that will remain a high priority.

States, despite high gas costs, resist pipelines

By Rik Stevens
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONCORD, N.H. There is

near universal agreement that the
Northeast has to expand its energy
supply to rein in the nations
highest costs and that cheap,
abundant, relatively clean natural
gas could be at least a short-term
answer. But heels dig deep when it
comes to those thorniest of questions: how and where?
Proposals to build or expand
natural gas pipelines are met with
an upswell of citizen discontent.
At the end of last year, a
Massachusetts route selected by
Texas-based Kinder Morgan generated so much venom that the company nudged it north into New
Hampshire where the venom is
also flowing freely. During this
winters town meetings, a centuries-old staple of local governance in New England, people in
the nine towns touched by the
route voted to oppose the project.

20 projects
That Northeast Direct line is one
of about 20 pipeline projects
being proposed throughout the
Northeast, where savvy environmental and political forces combine with population density to
provide a formidable bulwark.
Theres another reason the loudest

protests are all coming from the

region: Theyre where the gas is,
waiting just east of the gas-rich
Marcellus Shale region.
Everyone seems to know the
Northeast has a pipeline capacity
problem, but not many seem to be
willing to make many concessions to fix that problem, said
Andrew Pusateri, senior utilities
analyst for Edward Jones.

Serious challenges
And these are folks who pay a
lot to stay warm in the winter and
keep the lights on in summer.
According to the U. S. Energy
Information Administration, New
Englanders paid $14.52 per thousand cubic feet of gas in 2014,
compared to $10.94 for the rest of
the nation. ISO-New England,
which operates the regions power
grid, said in its 2015 Regional
Electricity Outlook that natural
gas availability is one of the
most serious challenges the
region faces as more coal and oil
units go offline.
The Kinder Morgan plan would
take gas from the plentiful
Marcellus Shale region of
Pennsylvania and pump it through
a 36-inch line from Wright, New
York, to Dracut, Massachusetts.
Along the way, it would cut across
a 70-mile stretch of southern New
Hampshire,
tickling
the

Massachusetts line. About 90 percent of the project would be along

an existing power line corridor.
Homer Shannon and his wife
raised three children on their suburban plot in Windham, New
Hampshire, where the pipeline
would pass a few hundred feet from
their house. The retired high-tech
salesman is part of a 10-family
group of neighbors opposed to the
pipelines route.
This whole Northeast Direct
thing is just fraught with question
marks, Shannon said. Why in
the hell is it in New Hampshire
anyway? They want to get it from
New York to Massachusetts and if
you draw that line on a map, it sure
doesnt
go
through
New
Hampshire.
Opponents on the route and
far from it worry about environmental and scenic harm, lower
property values, the potential for
accidents and the idea that relying
on natural gas only forestalls a
switch to more renewable sources
like wind or solar.
It would be really nice if, as a
region, we had a coherent energy
policy that stated, These are the
things we need to do to improve
our energy situation, Shannon
said. And if one of those things
is I have to sacrifice part of my
backyard for the greater good, Id
be willing to have that discussion.

But I dont see it that way. I see it

as them enriching themselves on
my back and I dont like that.
In New York and Pennsylvania,
the
124-mile
Constitution
Pipeline has also fanned flames of
opposition, some of it pegged to
the price the gas company is paying to take land. Of 651 landowners in New York and Pennsylvania
affected by the $700 million
pipeline project, 125 refused to
sign right of way agreements.
Condemnation proceedings undertaken by Constitution have largely resolved the remaining disputes, either through settlements
or access granted by a judge.

Complaints
Donald Santa, president and
CEO of the Interstate Natural Gas
Association of America, said it
follows that the most complaints
would come from the Northeast
because thats where most of the
pipeline activity is happening,
largely because of the boom
enabled by the Marcellus Shale.
Having so much of this gas literally on the doorstep of the market has really increased the need to
get the gas to consumers, Santa
said.
Richard Wheatley, a spokesman
for Kinder Morgan, said the companys pipeline is not the only
one getting pushback. He declined

to address the opposition specifically but said the company continues to reach out to landowners and
others as the siting process moves
along. The company expects to
file a certificate with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
this year.

Fracking
Pusateri, the Edward Jones analyst, said part of the resistance
may also be inflamed because of
how the gas gets out of the
ground. The Marcellus Shale gas is
extracted using hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The process,
which blasts chemical-laden water
into wells to crack open rock, has
drawn heavy criticism. In New
York, much of the antipathy
toward pipelines was driven by the
anti-fracking sentiment that
resulted in Gov. Andrew Cuomos
ban on shale gas development in
New York.
All major projects have some
opposition, but I would say this
pipe has garnered more attention
and protests and gained more
steam than average, he said. I
think Kinder has done what they
can to move the right of way of the
pipe as much off of peoples property as possible. They can do this
by utilizing utility easements at
times. I dont know that opposition really softens.

About 4,000 fishermen stranded on Indonesian islands

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JAKARTA, Indonesia The

number of foreign fishermen
stranded on several remote eastern
Indonesian islands has spiraled to
4,000, including some revealed in
an Associated Press investigation
to have been enslaved.
Many are migrant workers abandoned by their boat captains after
the government passed a moratorium on foreign fishing five
months ago, according to the
International Organization for
Migration, which released the figure Friday. However, others have
been trapped on the islands for

years, after being dumped by fishing boats or escaping into the jungle.
This is the worst moment in
our life right now, one former
slave told the AP, which is not
releasing the names of the men for
their safety. It is even worse than
being in hell. We have to work
every day to survive. ... There is
no hope for us anymore.
The AP reported earlier this week
that slaves some of them beaten and locked in cages are
forced to fish, and their catch ends
up in the supply chains of
American supermarkets and restaurants. The migration agency said

Friday that the report follows several years of close work with
Indonesian authorities to rescue
hundreds of fisherman identified
as victims of trafficking.
Many of the stranded are men
from Myanmar who went to neighboring Thailand in search of work.
They were taken by boat to
Indonesia, which has some of the
worlds richest fishing grounds.
Others left behind on the islands
are Cambodian and a few from the
poorer parts of Thailand.
Steve Hamilton, IOMs deputy
chief of mission in Indonesia, said
for every man theyve already rescued, many more now need help.

With the fishing ban, boats have

docked or fled, ditching their
crews.
It is reasonable to expect many
are victims of trafficking, if not
outright slavery, he said.
But for the first time in possibly several years, their feet are
touching dry land and there is a
real possibility for them to go
home, once we and the authorities
locate and process them, he said.
About a quarter of the men are in
Benjina, a town that straddles two
islands in the Maluku chain,
according to an Indonesian official who recently visited the area.
These men, some abandoned five,

10, even 20 years ago, load and

unload fish off boats for food and
pocket money, or cut and sell logs
in the forest of surrounding areas.
When the AP showed up, asking
the men to share their stories,
only a few emerged at first out of
fear. Then, more and more filtered
in, until a group of around 30
formed. Most squatted or sat on
the ground, others stood around
them as they recounted the horrors
they had witnessed at sea. Then
one after another, they expressed
their desperate desire to go home,
saying they were sure their fami-

Delta keeps US-Japan route sought by American Airlines

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT WORTH, Texas Delta

Air Lines will be allowed to keep a
route between the U.S. and Japan
that was sought by American
Airlines Group Inc., which is prepared to step in should the current
carrier not provide daily service.
The U. S. Department of
Transportation said Friday that

Delta could retain the route

between Seattle and Haneda
International Airport in Tokyo but
with more flights.
Atlanta-based Delta must fly the
route daily and not go long
stretches without scheduled service, the Dallas Morning News
reported. DOT says Delta would
lose the route to Fort Worth-based
American if Delta doesnt meet the

requirements.
American last October argued
DOT should transfer the route
because Delta operated just
enough flights to avoid triggering
a 90-day dormancy ruling.
U.S. carriers, under an agreement with Japan, can operate four
daily round-trip flights at Haneda,
which is closer to downtown
Tokyo than the citys other major

airport, Narita. That service is

now provided by Delta from Los
Angeles and Seattle; Hawaiian
Airlines from Honolulu; and
United Airlines
from San

After an extensive review, the
DOT concluded that Deltas

Duke ends Zags run

By Stephen Hawkins

HOUSTON A special group of freshmen

is taking Duke and Coach K back to the
NCAA Final Four.
The Blue Devils and their trio of freshmen
starters are going to their 16th Final Four
after a 66-52 win Sunday in the South
Regional over Gonzaga.
Justise Winslow, the freshman playing
home in Houston, had 16 points, including a
big 3-pointer in the closing minutes. Matt
Jones had also had 16 points while freshman
Tyus Jones had 15 points, while Jahlil
Okafor nine points and eight rebounds.
Duke (33-4), the regions No. 1 seed, is
going to Indianapolis to play Michigan State
in the Final Four. The other national semifinal game Saturday matches undefeated
Kentucky and Wisconsin.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski is going to the
Final Four for the 12th time, matching
UCLAs John Wooden for the most by a head
coach.
Dukes last Final Four and national title
was in 2010, when the Blue Devils were also
the No. 1 seed in the South Regional and had
to go through Houston.
This is a magical moment for us, but we
played a magical team in Gonzaga,
Krzyzewski told the crowd.
No. 2 seed Gonzaga (35-3) had taken a 3834 lead less than 4 minutes into the second
half, putting the Blue Devils in their largest
deficit of this tournament.
The young Blue Devils responded with nine
straight points and never trailed again. They
had stretched it to 60-51 when Winslow made
a 3-pointer from the left wing with 2:28 left.
I want to thank Houston for giving Justise
a huge birthday present, Krzyzewski said of
the forward who turned 19 on Thursday, the
day before he had 21 points and 10 rebounds

Notre Dame
women win
over Baylor
By Cliff Brunt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OKLAHOMA CITY Baylor came

painfully close to gaining the revenge it
sought against Notre Dame.
The Fighting Irish routed the Lady Bears
last year in the regional final, and Baylors
players werent shy about saying they wanted another crack at Notre Dame.
Though Nina Davis had 26 points and 13
rebounds, Notre Dame beat the Lady Bears
77-68 in the Oklahoma City regional final
Sunday night to reach its fifth consecutive
Final Four.
Baylor led by nine in the first half and was
still up 7 minutes into the second half. But
foul trouble and Notre Dames depth turned
the game in the Irishs favor.
The future looks bright, though. Sune
Agbuke, who had 12 points and 10
rebounds, is the teams only senior.
This year, we made it to the Elite Eight,
and were disappointed because we couldnt
make it further, but next year, man, theyre
going to be so great, Agbuke said.
Niya Johnson had 10 assists and Alexis
Prince and Imani Wright each scored nine
points for second-seeded Baylor (33-4).
Michaela Mabrey scored 14 points and
Jewell Loyd added 13 points for Notre Dame
(35-2), which won its 21st straight game.
The Fighting Irish will play South Carolina
next Sunday.
A 3-pointer by Madison Cable gave Notre
Dame a 60-56 lead, and a pair of free throws
by Loyd pushed the advantage to six with
just under 10 minutes to play.
Agbuke, Baylors 6-foot-4 center, picked up
her fourth foul with just over 9 minutes to
play, and Notre Dame continued to attack the
basket. Cables runner with just under a minute
to go put Notre Dame up 74-68, and the
Fighting Irish held on at the free-throw line.

Cabinians gem keeps CSM tied for first place

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

College of San Mateo right-hander Keone

Cabinian retired the first 12 batters he faced
and would go on to fire his first complete
game of the season as CSM downed West
Valley 4-2 Saturday at Bulldog Field.
Cabinian set the side down in order in
seven of nine innings. He allowed just two
unearned runs on two hits, all of which came
in the second inning. West Valleys only

other base runner in the

game came in the eighth
inning on a leadoff walk.
The Bulldogs bats did
the rest, rallying for a
first-inning run on a
Dylan Isquirdo RBI single. CSM (9-3 in Coast
Golden Gate, 17-8 overKeone Cabinian all) never trailed in the
game. Isquirdo along
with freshmen Ryan Krainz and Bear Smith

was one of three Bulldogs to total two

hits and an RBI in the game.
Krainz led off the first-inning rally with a
single to center. After a sacrifice bunt by
Makana Lyman, Draco Roberts singled
Krainz to third. Devin Mahoney got hit by a
pitch to load the bases. Then Isquirdo produced a two-out infield single to score
Krainz, giving CSM a 1-0 lead.
Facing the West Valley bullpen in the
fourth, Isquirdo sparked a two-run rally with
a leadoff single. Tyler Carlson followed

with a sacrifice bunt. Juan Gonzalez walked

and Smith singled to load the bases. Then
Krainz walked to force home Isquirdo.
Goznalez later scored on a passed ball, giving CSM a 3-0 lead.
West Valley (6-6, 13-13) answered with

State champ ODowd proves

how tandem talents are vital
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Sundays victory by Bishop ODowd in the

Open Division boys basketball state championship game was one for the ages.
ODowds 65-64 win over Mater Dei in an
overtime thriller featured one of the best
combinations of a ball handler and big man
in the state. ODowds 6-11 senior center
Ivan Rabb with 19 points and 21
rebounds looked ready for the Division-I
stage in his high school finale at Haas
Pavilion. And speedster guard Paris Austin
with 21 points, seven rebounds and seven
assists proved every bit his high-profile
teammates contemporary.
Basketball powerhouses thrive on such
symbiotic chemistries. Once upon a time,
when Jefferson was a perennial hoops powerhouse, the Indians featured a tandem reminiscent of Rabb and Austin that drove the
last great team Jefferson produced.
That was a generation ago in the 2002-03
season. The Indians star player was 6-6 senior forward Sean Jordan. Amid a seniorheavy starting five, however was junior
point guard Johnny Moore, a player who
could make the flashy plays when needed but
was content to excel at distribution and
defense.
With Jordan leading Jefferson to the
Central Coast Section Division III semifinals, Moore was the offensive catalyst. And
since that season, the Indians have yet to
advance as far as the CCS semis again.
Hes definitely the best player Ive ever
played with, Moore said. It made everything a little easier. You played with a little
more confidence just because you knew he
was in your corner. If we needed a bucket and

we needed it bad, we knew

we could get it through
Sean.
As Rabb and Austin
demonstrated
Sunday
with clutch defense down
the stretch each had
key blocks to stay within
striking distance of
Johnny Moore Mater Dei, despite
ODowd never leading in
regulation complete players win the day.
Jordan and Moore were such players, but in
the CCS semis they ran into a burgeoning
legend in Burlingame sophomore Drew
Shiller, who himself teamed with a prolific
big man in power forward Anthony Edwards.
Thats what stood between Jefferson and its
last best chance at a berth in the Northern
California tournament.
It was a game Jefferson looked on the
verge of winning. But up by two possessions with a minute to play, the Indians collapsed as Shiller and the Panthers staged a
remarkable 44-39 victory.
Buckets were hard to come by and it was
intense, Shiller said. The win was just
huge for our program and where we were
looking to go.
Burlingame went to the Nor Cal tourney
for the first of three consecutive appearances
in Shillers career. Jefferson has never again
been as close to the state-tourney stage.
Burlingame fell in opening round of the
Nor Cal tourney that season and Shiller had
two tough elimination losses to follow.
Still, Moore and Shiller alike appreciated the
ODowds storybook ending.
Paris Austin, Im a big fan of his, Shiller
said. Hes a good little player. And Ivan
Rabb, its a storybook ending for him.

Rabb missed a short
jumper with time running

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Travis Trice vowed a

day earlier that he wasnt going to cry

The senior guards vow lasted no more
than 10 seconds once the final horn sounded
following Michigan States 76-70 overtime
victory over Louisville in a thrilling NCAA
Tournament East Regional final Sunday.
Amid the frenzied celebration, Trice squatted down at center court and began to sob
uncontrollably.
I was actually trying to hold it in, Trice
said. I try to keep it even keeled. Im mad
that I even cried now.
Thats when senior forward Branden
Dawson interjected by saying that was the

As young righty
impresses again
in win over Crew
By Jose M. Romero
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MESA, Ariz. Kendall Graveman continued his impressive spring with 6 1/3
innings of three-hit ball, further staking his
claim to a spot in the
Athletics rotation and
leading Oakland to a 7-0
win over the Milwaukee
Brewers on Sunday.
Graveman retired the
first 14 batters he faced
and got run support from
Brett Lawries two-run
home run in the third
Kendall
inning. Billy Butler
Graveman
added a solo home run in
the seventh and Josh Phegley and Sam Fuld,
who hit a pair of doubles, drove in runs in
the sixth.
Graveman, 24, has allowed just one run
and 10 hits in 21 1/3 innings this spring.
The Brewers didnt get their first hit until
Gerardo Parras single with two out in the
top of the fifth.
Really challenged hitters, challenged in
the zone, just tried not to walk people and
make them put it in play, Graveman said.
Thats just baseball. Thats how it works.
As manager Bob Melvin said Graveman
looked confident on the mound.
Theres a reason he went from A-ball to
the big leagues and has continued to pitch in
the same fashion with us, Melvin said.
Brewers starter Michael Blazek, competing for a spot in the bullpen, appeared to
hurt his cause with four walks in 3 2/3
innings. He allowed three runs and four hits.

Reddick to open in minors

As outfielder Josh Reddick said Sunday
that he wont break camp on the active
major-league roster, with more rehab work
to be done on his injured oblique.
Reddick played five innings of a minorleague game Sunday. He reported no issues
swinging the bat, running the bases and
sliding.
Its a huge relief, he said. I wasnt really worried about anything bothering me.
Went out there and got a couple of three-ball
counts. Swung hard trying to hit it far.
Reddick tried to talk his way onto the roster, to no avail. He laid out his schedule for
the next several days, saying hell play in a
minor-league game Tuesday, keep getting
his work in until the end of spring training
and then will join Class A Stockton for a
brief rehab assignment.
He plans to be activated by the sixth game
of the regular season, in which the As are
scheduled to face Seattle Mariners ace Felix
Hernandez.

two runs and the San Francisco Giants beat a
Los Angeles Dodgers split-squad 11-9 on
Sunday.
Joe Panik had three hits and scored three
runs for the Giants, who won their third
straight for the first time this spring.
Brandon Belt added two hits and drove in a

Yasiel Puig had two hits, including an RBI
double, and Joc Pederson hit his sixth home
run among two hits for the Dodgers. Kiki

Grandal had two hits and drove in a run.
Im just getting into the routine of playing baseball every day, Pederson said. I just
show up every day and go through the
process.
Cain, pitching against a major-league lineup for the first time in two weeks, allowed six
hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out
three.
Ryan Vogelsong drove in the go-ahead run
and gave up two runs on three hits in 2 1/3
innings.
Im not worrying about what my role is,
Vogelsong said. Im concentrating on having a good year.
Los Angeles starter Carlos Frias went 3 1/3
innings, giving up three runs in eight hits.
He walked two and struck out three.

Joc making case to crack L.A. roster

Pederson hit the first two pitches he saw
from Cain, singling in the first and hitting
his homer in the third. He raised his average
to .389 and broke a tie with Puig for the team
lead in home runs.
Im just looking for a good pitch, something up, and putting a good swing on it,
Pederson said. You dont get many pitches to
hit and I dont want to give one up.

TEMPE, Ariz. Cincinnati right-hander
Jason Marquis continued his strong comeback
with six good innings in the Reds 8-6 victory

Marquis, 121-114 in 14 big-league seasons, is competing for a spot in the rotation
after missing all of 2014 following Tommy
John Surgery on his right elbow. In his
sixth spring start, he worked six innings
and allowed seven hits and three runs with
two walks and three strikeouts.
Former Giants farmhand Chris Dominguez,
now with the Reds, hit his third spring homer

Brandon Hicks, LHP Steven Okert, RHP Juan
Gutierrez and RHP Brett Bochy were reassigned to minor league camp.

Starting time
Cain, recovered from elbow surgery performed last August, said he felt no pain and
that was the most important thing he took
from his outing. Up until my last minor
league start, it was a little achy and heated
up, Cain said. I felt good and I was able to
go out and throw all my pitches. Now its
time to fine tune some things and get my reps
in. I dont think Im that far off.

Trainers room
Hunter Pence reported that he had no
updates regarding his situation, though he
was seen without a cast Sunday. I get a new

Kerr rallies to end Hamlin gets back on track at Martinsville

LPGA Tour drought
By Hank Kurz Jr.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARLSBAD Cristie Kerr ran off four

straight birdies on the back nine and closed
with a 7-under 65 to win the Kia Classic on
Sunday for her first LPGA Tour title in nearly two years.
Starting the final round three shots behind,
Kerr was in a three-way tie
for the lead at Aviara Golf
Club when she pulled
away from Mirim Lee and
17-year-old Lydia Ko. Her
fourth straight birdie was
on the 16th hole when she
drove the green and twoputted from 20 feet.
It was her 17th career
Cristie Kerr
win, and her first since
May 2013 at the Kingsmill Championship.
Kerrs two-shot victory over Lee (70) ended
a stretch of seven straight LPGA events won
by South Korean-born players dating to the
CME Group Tour Championship last year.
I love to win, Kerr said. Golf has always
been great to me, always given me special
moments like this.
Ko was tied for the lead with a birdie on the
par-3 14th hole, but the No. 1 player in
womens golf didnt make another birdie the
rest of the way. She lipped out on a 5-foot putt
on the 16th and finished with a three-putt
bogey on the 18th for a 67 to finish third.
It was her 28th consecutive round under par
on the LPGA Tour, one short of the record
Annika Sorenstam set in 2004. Kos next
event is the ANA Inspiration at Mission
Hills, the first LPGA major of the year.
Last three holes were a little iffy, like yesterday, but 67 around here is good and Ive
improved my placing compared to last year,
so a lot of positives to take from this week,
Ko said. And Im excited for the first major
next week.
Ko had her 10th consecutive finish in the
top 10.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. Denny Hamlin

just needed a visit to Martinsville Speedway
to get his racing team back on track.
Now, with his spot in NASCARs Chase
for the championship virtually assured,
they can work to make it better.
Hamlin passed teammate Matt Kenseth for
the lead with 28 laps to go Sunday and ended
Toyotas 32-race winless streak in the
NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Martinsville
Speedway. It was his fifth victory on
NASCARs oldest, smallest circuit.
We had a very fast car, but obviously
some pit road issues, but we overcame it,
Hamlin said after his 25th career victory,
which was helped along by a serious blunder
that took four-time champion Jeff Gordon
out of contention late.
Hamlins pit crew, unlike Gordon, made
their mistake early enough in the race to

on Saturday in Indianapolis.
Wayne Blackshear had 28 points for the
Cardinals (27-9) in a game that featured 11
lead changes.
There could have been a 12th with 4.9 seconds left in regulation, when Cardinals forward Mangok Mathiang hit his first free
throw to tie the game on a shot that hit off
the heel of the rim and bounced high and in.
But he wasnt so fortunate on his second one,
which also hit the heel and bounced wide left.

was 200 laps old, Hamlin
was penalized when his
crew failed to control a
tire on pit road. It
dropped him from the
lead to 22nd place.
He was back in the top
10 by the midpoint, and
Denny Hamlin stalking the leaders
shortly thereafter.
The last 60, 70 laps played out how they
needed to play out for us to win today,
Hamlin said.
Hamlin also held off a five-lap, bumperto-tail challenge from Brad Keselowski at
the finish. There was some bumping and
nudging, and a big wiggle for Hamlin in the
final fourth turn, but Keselowski never
caused him to spin.
We just werent going to be denied today,
and hats off to Brad, he said, thanking
Keselowski for not wrecking him.

I did everything I could other than wreck

him, Keselowski said.
The race was run without reigning rookie
of the year Kyle Larson, who watched from a
North Carolina hospital where he was undergoing testing after fainting at an autograph
session on Saturday. Regan Smith drove in
his absence, finishing 16th.
Keselowski was second, followed by Joey
Logano, Kenseth and David Ragan, giving Joe
Gibbs Racing three cars in the top five. The
jolt was especially appreciated in a week when
the team announced that President J.D. Gibbs
is being treated for a symptoms impacting
areas of brain function, an issue that has left
doctors with very few answers thus far.
It was J.D. Gibbs who discovered Hamlin
on a North Carolina short track, and Joe
Gibbs thought of that near the end.
For me it was emotional and thinking
about J.D. and all that he means to our team,
so it was a big week for us, but a great finish
to a story there, Gibbs said.

Louisville was denied a shot of making its

third Final Four in four years, and 11th overall.
Its the ninth Final Four appearance for the
Spartans, and first since 2010, when they
lost 52-50 to Butler in the national semifinals. Izzo has led them to seven Final Fours
including the 2000 national championship.
The Spartans did it with a roster that was
regarded as having less talent than the team
that lost in the regional final to
Connecticut a year ago. Michigan State lost
three of its top four scorers.
Everybody doubted us. Everybody had us
down and out, Valentine said. They didnt
have us making the tournament. We just
kept strong. We believe in ourselves.
The Spartans rallied from a 40-32 halftime
deficit to eventually build a 61-59 lead with
3:57 left, when Trice hit two free throws.
Michigan State took control in overtime,
starting with Forbes hitting a 3-pointer 26
seconds in.
The Spartans then sealed it in the final 31
seconds. Dawson did what Izzos teams have
done well over the years: He put back a 3point miss by Forbes to put Michigan State
up 74-70.
Valentine batted away Quentin Sniders
pass into the paint on the Cardinals next
possession, and Trice sealed the win by hitting two free throws with 10.1 seconds left.
Michigan States defense Izzos other
trademark played havoc with the
Cardinals. After hitting 17 of 32 attempts in
the first half, Louisville managed to make
six of its final 32.
It is the third straight year one conference
has had two teams in the Final Four. The
Southeastern Conference did last year with
Kentucky and Florida and the Big East had

Louisville and Syracuse in 2013.

The last time the Big Ten did it was 2005
with Michigan State and Illinois.
Though Blackshear stepped up his performance in what became his final collegiate game, Cardinals junior forward
Montrezl Harrell struggled.
Harrell missed his last five shots and was
off on five of nine free throw attempts in what
was also his final game. Harrell has already
indicated his intention to enter the NBA draft.
It hurts a lot, Harrell said.
Its over, added Blackshear, a member of
the Cardinals 2013 national championship
team. But I get to look back and say I had a
great career.
Blackshear had his nose bloodied with
3:57 left, when he hit a driving layup and was
fouled hard by Matt Costello. Dillon Avare
came off the bench to hit the free throw while
Blackshear missed a few possessions while
being tended to on the bench.

Fernandez, Tuktamysheva take golds at figure skating worlds

By Justin Bergman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHANGHAI Javier Fernandez is used to

breaking barriers as a figure skater from
Spain, a country without a long winter sports
tradition.
He was the first Spanish man to win a medal
at a Grand Prix figure skating event and the
European championships, and the first to
compete in figure skating in the Olympics in
more than half a century.
Now he can add first Spanish mens world
champion to his list.
Fernandez cleanly landed two quad jumps in
his free skate to edge defending champion
Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan, his training partner
and good friend, for the gold medal at the figure skating world championships on Saturday.
Im so lucky because I come from Spain
and we dont have this history, the 23-yearold Madrid native said. Im trying to grow
the sport in Spain as Im trying to grow
CARLOS BARRIA/REUTERS
myself in this sport.
In the womens event, Elizaveta Javier Fernandez became Spains first ever world
Tuktamysheva of Russia wrapped up the champion in mens figure skating Saturday.
most successful season of her promising championships after undergoing surgery on
young career by winning the womens gold. his bladder in late December and then promptIt was Russias first win in the womens ly spraining his ankle when he returned to
event at worlds since Irina Slutskaya took practice in February.
He was away from his coach, Brian Orser,
the title 10 years ago.
Hanyu, who won Olympic gold last year in and his training base in Toronto as he recovSochi, had little time to prepare for the world ered at home in Japan.

Though his artistry hadnt suffered from the

two months away, his timing was noticeably
off on his jumps, particularly the difficult
quads. Both Hanyu and Fernandez fell on quad
jumps in their free skate programs, but the
Spaniard landed two others while the
Japanese skater doubled his quad salchow.
Fernandez scored 273.90 to top Hanyu by
less than three points. Kazakhstans Denis
Ten took the bronze.
Hanyu said he was thrilled for his training
partner.
Weve been competing together for a long
time and always Javier told me,
Congratulations, Im so proud of you (when
I won) and now Im in the opposite position, Hanyu said. Now I realize how happy
you feel when your team mate makes such a
good result, so Im very proud of him.
Fernandez said hes not only put in the
training time on the ice, he also has a new
relationship that has provided him with valuable perspective on competing at the top
level hes dating two-time world champion
Miki Ando of Japan.
She really knows what its like being here,
he said. She really helps me sometimes so
part of this medal is maybe because of her.
In the womens event, Tuktamysheva landed seven triples in a slightly nervy free skate
to score 210.36 points, beating Satoko
Miyahara of Japan by more than 15 points.
Elena Radionova of Russia was third.

Last season, Tuktamysheva finished a

lowly 10th at the Russian national championships and had to sit at home while countrywoman Adelina Sotnikova won the gold in
Sochi. Then she broke her foot and was off
the ice altogether for three months.
A year later, with Sotnikova on the sidelines with an ankle injury, the 18-year-old
Tuktamysheva has captured eight international events, including the Grand Prix
Finals, European Championships and now
the world championships.
After the unfortunate last season, it was
very tough for me, but my coaches helped me
a lot and they believed in me even when I didnt believe in myself anymore, she said.
Her win came in dramatic fashion after she
joined an exclusive club of female skaters by
successfully landing a triple axel in competition in her short program. She promised to
continue pushing herself next year by adding
a triple axel to her free skate, but as for a quad
jump that might be some time off.
I havent excluded the idea of learning a
quad toe, but for sure I wont do it in my program, she said.
Her rivals are already feeling the pressure to
increase their levels of difficulty to keep up.
I admire her so much for coming back and
bringing a whole new level of difficulty to the
sport, said Ashley Wagner, a three-time U.S.
national champion. Triple axels will be
mandatory before we know it.

U.S. figure skatings medal drought continues in Shanghai

By Justin Bergman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHANGHAI The medal drought for

American singles skaters at the figure skating world championships grew even longer
after a couple of near-misses on Saturday.
Gracie Gold and Ashley Wagner narrowly
missed out on medals in the womens event,
finishing fourth and fifth, respectively,
while Jason Brown finished fourth in the
mens event.
Its been nine years since an American
woman won a medal at worlds and six years
since an American man has been on the
podium.
Though they fell just short, Gold and Wagner
were pleased with the way they recovered after
their spotty performances in the short program to end the season on a positive note.
Gold was second in the free skate Saturday
to improve from eighth place to fourth overall, while Wagner jumped from 11th to fifth.

Its what I kind of

hoped to do is skate
strong and be tough,
Gold said. Ten out of 10
times youll land a jump
and to miss it when it
matters is frustrating.
The 19-year-old Gold
has missed her share of
Gracie Gold jumps this season. After
losing to Wagner to relinquish her U.S. national title in January, she
had one of her worst performances of the season at the Four Continents Championships,
failing to medal at an event she was expected
to easily win.
Her season had started off promisingly
enough with her first Grand Prix win at the
NHK Trophy in Japan. But a small stress
fracture in her foot forced her to pull out of
the Grand Prix Finals in December and she
has struggled to find her rhythm ever since.
This year was a little more rough and

tumble for me, she said. Im used to being

at least consistently going up, maybe a little down. Wiping the ice at the Four
Continents event and breaking a foot arent
really in my usual plans.
Wagner described her season similarly
too many ups and downs. The veteran skater
earned a career-rejuvenating win at the U.S.
Nationals, but she was unhappy with other
skates at the Grand Prix Finals and in the
short program at worlds.

Today was a huge accomplishment for

me, she said. It might sound silly because
Im 23 years old, but Im still learning in
this sport. I was a late bloomer. To go out
there under such immense pressure, to
redeem myself in a way, thats something
Im very proud of.
For the other Americans, Polina Edmunds
finished eighth in the womens event, and
Adam Rippon was eighth and Joshua Farris
11th in the mens.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Arobio saves JUCO

finale at SCU

Continued from page 11

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Vince Arobio punctuated his homecoming

in style.
The former Burlingame standout, now the
closer at University of Pacific, earned his
third save of the year in
the Tigers 7-6 win over
Santa Clara Sunday at
Schott Stadium.
The sophomore righthander emerged as a lateinning reliever to start
the year. But with Pacific
losing its first 13 games
Vince Arobio of the season, Arobio
didnt get his first save
opportunity until March 8 which he converted with two scoreless innings in a
wild 11-8 win over Cal Poly.
The Tigers are now 5-20 overall. But
through their 4-5 record in West Coast
Conference play, all but one of the nine
games have been decided by one run.
Obviously the record is nothing good,
but if you look at us in league, weve lost
every game by one run, Arobio said. So
one play or one pitch flip-flops that (conference record).
With Pacific hosting University of San
Francisco last weekend in the one WCC
series between the two teams, Santa Clara is
as close to home as Arobio plays in conference action this season. The Tigers, however, does travel to Stanford for an April 7
nonconference matchup with the Cardinal.
Sunday was one of his shakiest outings of
the year. Arobio entered to start the eighth.
He ultimately surrendered two runs on three
hits, but with the potential tying run on
base he buckled down to end it on his lone
strikeout of the day.

infield single drove home Amaral, closing

CSMs lead to 3-2.
In the eight, Austin Lonestar spurred a
CSM insurance run. The sophomore singled
with one out then stole second and third base
to set up an RBI bunt single by Smith. The
Bulldogs went on to load the bases with one
out, but West Valley reliever Kevin Cali
entered to strand all three CSM base runners.
Cabinian finished strong though, setting
down the ninth in order, capped by his ninth
strikeout on the day. The strikeout total matches his career high, which came in the only
other complete game of the sophomores
career. His previous CG, also against West
Valley, was recorded nearly a year previous in a
3-0 five-hit shutout on March 30, 1014.
With the win, CSM keeps pace with De Anza
as the two are deadlocked in first place atop
the Coast Golden Gate Conference standings.

Skyline leapfrogs into third place

Skyline (7-6 in Coast Pacific, 14-10
overall) rallied for six runs in the seventh
and a tandem of Mills alums again
impressed on the mound to lead the Trojans
to a 7-3 win at Trojan Diamond.
Freshman left-hander Kyle Vallans worked
eight-plus innings to earn the win, improving his record to 4-1. Vallans turned in his
sixth quality start of the year, allowing
three runs (one earned) on eight hits. His
win total matches his single-season best as
a varsity player at Mills. As a junior in
2012, he posted a 4-5 record. He totaled six
victories in his high school varsity career.
Vallans departed in the ninth with a run
home and the bases loaded, but his fellow
Mills alum Roberto Zucchiatti emerged to
close the door. The right-hander induced a
quick double-play grounder, allowing an
unearned run to score on the play. Zucchiatti
then recorded the final out to earn his second

save of the year.
At the plate, the swinging Trojans banged
out 11 hits on the day. Jarrod Hopper and Phil
Caulfield each tabbed two hits and two RBIs.
Nic Bongi added two hits and an RBI while
Ismael Orozco was 2 for 3 with a run scored.
Cabrillo took an early lead when Sequoia
alum Zane Gelphman produced a sacrifice fly
to give the Seahawks a 1-0 lead. But the
Trojans tied it in the fourth on Brett
Berghammers RBI single to score Bongi.
Taking a 1-1 tie into the seventh, Skyline
sent nine batters to the plate against the
Cabrillo bullpen to break through. Orozco
started the rally with a leadoff single. Keaton
Eichman moved Orozco up with a sacrifice
bunt. Nobu Suzuki followed with an RBI single to give Skyline the lead. After Michael
Franco and Matt Seubert walked to load the
bases, Hopper notched a two-run single and
Caulfield backed it up with a two-run double.
With two outs, Cabrillo (7-7, 14-12)
brought in Sequoia alum Kyle Cambron in
relief. Bongi capped the rally against the

big freshman with an RBI single to score

Caulfield. Cambron ultimately threw 1 1/3
innings, allowing no runs the Caulfield
run was an inherited runner on two hits.
With the win, Skyline moves past
Cabrillo into third place in the Coast
Pacific Conference. The Trojans trail second-place Gavilian by one game and firstplace Ohlone by 2 1/2 games.

Chabot downs Caada

Chabot went ahead in the first inning and
never trailed in downing Caada 10-3
Saturday at Caada College.
The Renegades (10-4, 21-5) pounded out 17
hits, including a 4-for-5 day by leadoff hitter
Ian Dawkins. Jesse Lewis and Daniel Whitney
added two hits and three RBIs apiece.
Caada starting pitcher Elijah Saunders
took the loss. His record falls to 3-3. The
Colts (5-9, 13-11) totaled six hits with
cleanup batter Chris Miguel pacing the
squad with a 2-for-4 day.

UConn (35-1) led 26-19 midway

Auriemma became the second
coach to reach the century mark,
joining Pat Summitt, who finished
with 112 victories in her career.
They are the only two coaches in
mens or womens basketball to
reach that milestone.
The Huskies shot a blistering 56

pulled within two points, and
Khadijah Sessions stole the ball
from Conwright and hit a layup at
the buzzer to make it a six-point

never trailed during the first 30
minutes of this meeting of teams
that until now had combined to
reach two Elite Eights but had
advanced no deeper.
South Carolina lost to Duke in a
2002 regional final and Florida
State fell to Connecticut at this
stage in 2010.
To play that many minutes leading ... the No. 1 team in the country
at one point, they werent afraid,
Florida State coach Sue Semrau said
of her team. They had so much
courage.
The Seminoles briefly led by 10
in the first half before Mitchell
gave the Gamecocks their first lead
with a driving layup that made it
55-54 with 10 minutes left.
After that, neither team led by
more than five until that last-second layup.
I knew we were always in the
game, Mitchell said. We played
behind plenty of times. We never
doubted for a second that we werent
going to lose this game, and thats
the mentality you need against a
great team like Florida State.

DreamWorks Home bests Get Hard at box office with $54M

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Business was

brisk at the weekend box-office,
where the DreamWorks animated
alien adventure Home beat out
the Will Ferrell-Kevin Hart comedy Get Hard with a resounding
debut of $54 million, according to
studio estimates Sunday.
While the two films had been
expected to vie for the top spot at
North American theaters, Home
came in well above expectations,
handing DreamWorks Animation a
much-needed hit. Though a distant
second, Get Hard also opened
strongly with an estimated $34.6
million, rewarding the Warner
Bros. pairing of two of the most

bankable stars in comedy.

Last weeks top film at the box
office, the young-adult sequel
The
Divergent
Series:
Insurgent, slid to third with
$22.1 million.
With a $100 million-plus debut
expected next weekend for
Furious 7 a franchise built on
street racing adrenaline and a
diverse cast Hollywood scored
with two films that sought a variety of audiences.
Get Hard united the fans of
Hart and Ferrell, albeit while finding some criticism for its racial
humor. And Home is the rare animated film led by an African
American girl character (voiced by
Rihanna). She plays a teenage girl
left alone after an alien invasion

e made the Guinness Book of

World Records. Well, we should
have. In 2002, Peninsula
Humane Society orchestrated what was
then and still is the longest road trip for
101 rodents. We learned from newspaper

of Earth. Jim Parsons, Jennifer

Lopez and Steve Martin round out
the cast.
Its a diverse cast and we drew a
diverse audience, which I think is
really special and something you
dont see in animated films, said
Chris Aronson, domestic distribution head for 20th Century Fox,
the films distributor. That just
ends up broadening the appeal of
the film.
More than half of the audience
for Home was African American,
Hispanic or Asian, according to
Fox. The strong performance of an
original release, based on a childrens book by Adam Rex, provides
Jeffrey
Katzenbergs
DreamWorks with a welcome lift.
After a series of box-office disap-

accounts and phone calls that a hoarder

near Hollister was busted and animal welfare folks in the area needed help caring
for 180 guinea pigs removed from horric
conditions: maggot-lled, cramped cages
housed outdoors in 100-degree heat.
Peninsula Humane Society stepped up and
accepted many of them. This was well
before social media; staff and volunteers
hit the phones and made contact with
small animal shelters and rescue groups
around the country and stuck pins on a
map where they found interested partners.
Soon, a rescue railroad of sorts took
shape; four volunteers, one pet dog and
101 guinea pigs set off in a 25-foot long
Winnebago on a 2,000 mile, 11-day journey. In the end, we found homes for 101

YEMEN
Continued from page 8
to offer reassurances that a nuclear deal
does not mean that Washington will
abandon them, but they remain skeptical. The Houthis swept down from their
northern strongholds last year and captured Yemens capital, Sanaa, in
September. Embattled Yemeni President
Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, a close U.S.
ally against a powerful al-Qaida affiliate, first fled to the southern city of
Aden before fleeing the country last
week as the rebels closed in.
Speaking at the summit on Saturday,
Hadi accused Iran of being behind the
Houthi offensive, raising the specter
of a regional conflict. Iran and the
Houthis deny that Tehran arms the
rebel movement, though both
acknowledge the Islamic Republic is
providing humanitarian and other aid.
On Sunday, the Saudi ambassador to
the U. S. , Adel al-Jubeir, said the
Lebanese Hezbollah militia was also
supporting the Houthis. The Saudi-led
campaign, he said on NBCs Meet the
Press, is to protect Yemens legitimate government from a group that is
allied and supported by Iran and
Hezbollah.
A Saudi-led coalition began bomb-

Continued from page 7
from a senior NSA official, reported in
November by the Associated Press. In
that case, a senior NSA code breaker
learned about the program and concluded it was wrong for the agency to collect and store American records. The
NSA enlisted the Justice Department in
an examination of whether the search
function could be preserved with the
records stores by the phone companies.
That would not work without a
change in the law, the review concluded. Alexander, who retired in March
2014, opted to continue the program
as is.
But the internal debate continued,
current and former officials say, and
critics within the NSA pressed their
case against the program. To them, the
program had become an expensive
insurance policy with an increasing
number of loopholes, given the lack
of mobile data. They also knew it

ing Yemen on Thursday, saying it was

targeting the Houthis and their allies,
which include forces loyal to Yemens
former leader, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Yemeni military officials have said the
campaign could pave the way for a possible ground invasion, a development
that Egyptian military officials say
would likely commence after the
airstrikes significantly diminish the
military capabilities of the Houthis
and their allies.
Yemens foreign minister, Riad
Yassin, said the air campaign, codenamed Operation Decisive Storm, had
prevented the rebels from using the
weaponry they seized to attack Yemeni
cities or to target neighboring Saudi
Arabia with missiles. It also stopped
Irans supply line to the rebels, he told
a news conference Sunday.
Military experts will decide when
and if a ground operation is needed,
Yassin said. This is a comprehensive
operation and (any ground offensive)
will depend on the calculations of the
military, he said.
Iran has condemned the airstrikes
against its Yemeni allies but so far has
not responded with military action,
though diplomatic and military officials said Iranian retaliation could not
be ruled out.
Iran for the first time in a very long
time is basically seeing a counterattack. The Iranians were not expecting

that Gulf monarchies, like Saudi

Arabia, would be so bold as to confront
this head on, one Gulf official said.
The Saudi-led airstrikes tore to
pieces their game plan with regard to
the Houthis, and they are not going to
accept that, said the official, who
spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to speak
to the media.
At the summits closing session,
Elaraby said the Saudi-led air campaign
would continue until all Houthi militias withdraw and surrender their
weapons, and a strong unified Yemen
returns.
Yemen was on the brink of the
abyss, requiring effective Arab and
international moves after all means of
reaching a peaceful resolution had
been exhausted to end the Houthi coup
and restore legitimacy, Elaraby said,
reading from the final communique.
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah elSissi said the leaders from 22 nations
also agreed to create a joint Arab military force whose structure and operational mechanism will be worked out
by a high-level panel under the supervision of Arab chiefs of staff.
Elaraby said the chiefs of staff would
meet within a month and would have an
additional three months to work out
the details before presenting their proposal to a meeting of the Arab Leagues
Joint Defense Council.

would be deeply controversial if made

public.
By 2013, some NSA officials were
ready to stop the bulk collection even
though they knew they would lose the
ability to search a database of U.S.
calling records. As always, the FBI
still would be able to obtain the phone
records of suspects through a court
order.
There was a precedent for ending collection cold turkey. Two years earlier,
the NSA cited similar cost-benefit calculations when it stopped another
secret program under which it was collecting Americans email metadata
information showing who was communicating with whom, but not the content of the messages. That decision
was made public via the Snowden
leaks.
Alexander believed that the FBI and
the NSA were still getting crucial value
out of the phone records program, in
contrast to the email records program,
former NSA officials say.
After the Snowden leaks, independent experts who looked at the program
didnt agree. A presidential task force
examined NSA surveillance and recom-

mended ending the phone records collection, saying it posed unacceptable

privacy risks while doing little if anything to stop terrorism. The task force
included Michael Morell, a former
deputy CIA director, and Richard
Clarke, a former White House counter
terrorism adviser.
We cannot discount the risk, in
light of the lessons of our own history, that at some point in the future,
high-level government officials will
decide that this massive database of
extraordinarily sensitive private
information is there for the plucking,
the report said.
Times, dates and numbers called can
provide a window into a persons
activities and connections.
A separate inquiry by the Privacy and
Civil Liberties Oversight Board concluded the same thing.
David Medine, chairman of that
board, said the concerns raised internally by NSA officials were the same
as theirs, yet when NSA officials came
before the privacy board, they put on
a pretty strong defense for the program. Except their success stories didnt pan out, he said.

lies thought they were dead..
Our body is here but our mind is at home, one dockworker said. If it was possible to walk back home, we
would do it right away.
Another wiped tears as he spoke, his voice quivering.
Our lives have no more value than a dog, he said,
adding no one cared if they lived or died. The AP is not
using the mens names for their safety.
The moratorium was declared by Indonesias new
Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti to determine which
ships are not properly licensed and crack down on illegal
foreign boats. Poaching drains billions of dollars from the
country, and Pudjiastuti said Friday that stamping it out is
key to addressing labor abuses. She added she was horrified
knowing fishermen are being enslaved in her country.
We are not letting this happen, she said. In the past,
its been a normal practice. Not now. Im not allowing it.
The Indonesian government has pledged to take legal
measures to address what is happening in Benjina and other
islands. Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha also
acknowledged the AP story and said his government was
stepping up efforts to prosecute those responsible.
If they still continue to exploit their fellow human
beings, they should not be given any licenses to operate
businesses in Thailand, and they must receive the punishment they deserve, Prayuth said in a written response to
questions submitted by the Bangkok Post.
However, earlier this week, Prayuth urged journalists not
to report on human trafficking without considering how
the news would affect the countrys seafood industry and
reputation abroad.
The U.S. State Department last year blacklisted Thailand
for its handling of labor abuses, putting it on par with
countries including North Korea and Iran. The Thai government says it is cleaning up the problem and has laid out a
plan, including new laws that mandate wages, sick leave
and shifts of no more than 14 hours. On Thursday, Thai lawmakers voted unanimously to create tougher penalties for
violating the countrys anti-human trafficking law, including the death penalty.
On Friday, 21 Thai fishermen who had been stranded in
Indonesia returned home to their families, and the government is working to repatriate more.
Major leaders in the U.S. seafood and retail industries
sent a letter to the ambassadors of Thailand and Indonesia
this week, demanding to know what will be done to free
slaves in the seafood industry. Phil Robertson, deputy
director of Human Rights Watchs Asia division, also urged
Thai authorities to tackle the scourge.
The Thailand government has made repeated verbal
commitments to get tough with traffickers but every time
real follow-up has been lacking, Robertson said in an
email.

Continued from page 1

completely revamped his San Mateo
establishment formerly known as
Mandala Lounge into the swanky 38th
Floor Bar.
On April 12, spectators can tune in
and watch this 45-year-old local proprietor turn his life and bar around for
the popular shows season finale.
The process was really really hard,
it was very emotional. My wife was on
the show, my dad was on the show, my
son was on the show. But this guy
(Taffer), what they did for us, was unbelievable. They legitimately created
some real family healing. That
aspect of it I didnt really anticipate
and it was a wild experience. It was
really cool they did a terrific job with
the bar. The bar looks amazing, ever
since the show weve been non-stop
improving it and investing into it,
Hawkins said.
Hawkins said he bought the cozy
establishment that boasts a prime outdoor patio seating area at 38 E. 25th
Ave. in June 2007. At the time, he
envisioned it full of promise with the
neighboring Bay Meadows residential
development slated nearby. But
months later, the economy took a
nosedive in 2008 and Hawkins said
things got dicey.
We went from doing $62,000 in
December of 07 to $24, 000 in
January 08. It was that drastic,
Hawkins said.
Things picked up off and on over the
years at the hookah bar, but Hawkins
said the business struggled and he
couldnt fathom why.
I was getting to the point where it
didnt make sense for me to do this any
more, Hawkins said. It was like
signing up for pain every day and it
didnt make any sense. So I was getting ready for sale, just fire sale it, pay
off the debt and move on with my life.
At that point, Bar Rescue was canvassing the Bay Area and left us a message, Hawkins said.
With the power of Spike TV behind
him, Hawkins said hes completely
remodeled and rebranded into 38th
Floor Bar.
He dropped his self-described lazy
ways, hired all new staff along with an
experienced manager, is continuing to
invest in improvements and is proud
to announce his episode will serve as
the seasons finale.
With a little artistic flair, the small
space is now lined with several TVs

As part of the makeover, TVs showing a feed of downtown San Francisco were installed to give visitors the illusion theyre on the 38th floor of a high-rise building.
showing a mock live-feed of downtown San Francisco giving the allusion youre atop the 38th floor of a
high-rise. Hawkins said hes continuing to follow Taffers instructions and
is planning to sign up for live feeds
from across the world. One day a
patron could feel like theyre in San
Francisco and the next they could be
looking out onto Chicago streets.
Hawkins said hes especially excited
for a New Years theme where they
could stream the ball drop in New York
City.
What they did was really dramatic.
Between the TVs on the wall and the
lighting on the bar, it draws your eye
outward and makes a small space feel
really big. And that was kind of the
coolest science part of it, Hawkins
said. When I first walked in and they
did the reveal, I just couldnt get over
how much bigger it felt, it was just
such a dramatic difference.
The show is known for diving into
dysfunctional bars layered in filth with
rats running amuck or just suffering
from extreme deferred maintenance.
But that wasnt the case with the clean
Mandala Lounge that provided great
customer service, Hawkins said.
What this guy Taffer pointed out on
the show was essentially that I was the
problem. And he essentially put me
through kind of like personality boot
camp and really helped me see in a very
short space of time, the weak links in
my personality that were contributing
to my business, Hawkins said.
Hawkins said hed previously
checked out, was slacking on ensuring
bartenders were doing their jobs, his
marriage was suffering and his relationship with his son became strained.

In typical reality TV show fashion,

Taffer is known for having an abrasive
personality, but Hawkins said its that
trait that enables success.
The order in which he did it is kind
of harsh and offensive. Its not very
palatable to have someone scream at
you and ram your character defects
down your throat on camera. But at the
same time, if things were going swimmingly, we wouldnt be there in the
first place. And I had a hard time arguing because the majority of what he
was saying was true, Hawkins said.
Hes an ahole with a purpose. He
uses that as a tool to basically create a
shift. Hes there to help so Im a big
fan of the show.
A little over two months post filming, Hawkins said business is already
up 30 percent and the episode has yet
to air. Originally set for release this
weekend, Hawkins said he was ecstatic
to find out the revamp of 38th Floor
Bar would serve as this seasons finale.
The overall reception by the people
in San Mateo has been incredible.
Everyones been incredibly upbeat
about it and excited that a big show
came to San Mateo. Overall, its been
this very very transformative experience for me and ultimately a very very
positive thing, Hawkins said. Im
really clear that most people dont get
a second chance and Im not going to
squander that opportunity.

NEW YORK As he returns to run the NBC News Group,

Andy Lack faces one of the same puzzles he tried to solve a
decade and a half ago: how to make MSNBC work.
While he was gone, MSNBC changed from traditional
news to a political network with a liberal lens. Now that it
is mired in a ratings slump, Lacks mandate as chairman
will be figuring out if MSNBC needs a complete overhaul or
a sharpening of its mission.
The current picture is seriously ugly. Through early
March, Chris Hayes viewership at 8 p.m. on weekdays was
down 23 percent from last year, Rachel Maddow was off 24
percent and Lawrence ODonnell down 26 percent. Among
the 25-to-54-year-old demographic that is the basis for
advertising sales, the prime-time lineup lost nearly half its
audience. Daytime isnt much better.
Fatigue is natural for fans of any presidential administration in its sixth year, and liberals are traditionally less
loyal to political talk media than conservatives.
Like political groups that raise money, they do better
when they have something to rail against, said Mark
Feldstein, veteran television journalist and professor at the
University of Maryland.

Broaden outlook
Phil Griffin, MSNBC president, has lately sought to
broaden MSNBCs outlook by taking on a greater variety
of stories, even hiring a food correspondent, and theres
been some uptick in the ratings the past few weeks. He
changed the daytime lineup, ditching opinionated programs hosted by Ronan Farrow and Joy-Ann Reid and
establishing a news-focused bloc with Jose Diaz-Balart,
Andrea Mitchell and Thomas Roberts.
Griffin has run MSNBC since 2006. Normally, executives at networks with his ratings are looking for another
job, especially with a new boss coming in. But he and Lack
have a long relationship, and Griffin has credited Lack with
kick-starting his career by assigning him to supervise
NBC News coverage of the O.J. Simpson case.
The shift in focus during the day has led some fans to fear
MSNBC may abandon its liberal focus altogether.
Thats very unlikely. Despite the ratings, analyst SNL
Kagan predicts MSNBC will earn $509 million in revenue
this year. While thats below Fox News Channel ($2.18
billion) and CNN ($1.16 billion), that would still be
slightly up from $501 million in 2014, Kagan said.
The financial health is largely due to long-term deals
with cable and satellite operators to carry MSNBC, made
when the network sold itself as a counterbalance to Fox
News, said Derek Baine, Kagan analyst. Bad ratings
depress advertising prices, and while they would hurt
MSNBCs future if they persist, the advertising is not as
important as the carriage deals.

New identity
Considering Lack spent much of his first go-round at
NBC News struggling to find an identity for MSNBC, the
idea of searching for a new one is no doubt unappealing.
Shifting to straight news would be even harder because
MSNBC is no longer seen as a primary news source. Its
viewership doesnt go up much during big news events,
certainly not like CNN and Fox. While conservatives like
getting news from Fox, liberals dont feel the same way
about MSNBC. A Quinnipiac University poll of 1,286 registered voters a month ago found 29 percent of people said
Fox was their most trusted news source, compared to 7 percent for MSNBC. Even among Democrats, more than twice
as many people said they trusted CNN more for news than
MSNBC.
To many fans, MSNBCs weakness isnt that its liberal.
Its that the network is boring.
The solution is not that we need more news or that we
need to alter the political viewpoint, but what does the
content of the shows look like, said Keith Olbermann,
former MSNBC prime-time host. Do not be afraid to make
good television. And in Rachel, Phil Griffin, and Andy
Lack, theyve got three people in place whove already
done that there.
Olbermann single-handedly lurched MSNBC to the left
during President George W. Bushs second term when his
angry commentary attracted a loyal audience. He had the
passion, Maddow the quietly analytical mind and together
they formed a potent one-two punch.
After Olbermann left, MSNBC set about modeling its
lineup after Maddow, its Rhodes scholar and highest-rated
personality.
Liberal in outlook, MSNBCs programming approach is
often conservative. Watching MSNBC can feel like a hidden camera picking up a discussion in the faculty lounge.

improvement program stuff, and increase

our preventative work to continue to protect our investments that we paid millions
for, like streets and city buildings,
Khojikian said.
The city is in the midst of a multi-million
dollar street repaving program and must
continue to set aside funds to deal with
miles of sewers and storm water infrastructure in need of regular maintenance,
Khojikian said.
Councilwoman Deborah Ruddock said she
is pleased to see the citys finances are
improving and wants to ensure necessary
services are maintained.
I think the city should first prioritize
core services, what I consider core services,
and that is street repaving and maintenance
and building repairs and maintenance and so
on, Ruddock said. I think by and large the
citys in pretty good financial health, but I
might be a little more conservative in terms
of what I consider noncore infrastructure
projects.
Mayor Marina Fraser said its exciting to
see the citys finances improving, having
gone from less than $8 million to work
with about six years ago to a more than $14
million budget this year. While the city has
made tough choices like keeping staff lean
and cutting its police force to contract with

the Sheriffs Office, Fraser said the city is in

a better position to invest in communityserving amenities.
The city is also poised to pay off the
bonds it took out to settle the Beachwood
development lawsuit, which will free up
about $1.2 million from the citys general
fund starting in 2019, Fraser said.
The city is better enabled to support projects like the construction of a new library
and improvements to the downtown corner
known as Mac Dutra Park, Fraser said.
Funding the citys portion of constructing a new library included allotting about
$3 million from Half Moon Bays general
fund this year, which more than doubled
what it typically spends on capital transfers, according to a staff report.
I think that were even able to have a discussion about building a library after 15
years is suggestive, so definitely with the
cutbacks we made and the restructuring, that
has gotten us into a better place, Fraser
said.
The council directed staff last week to
look into hiring two new full-time employees a dedicated city engineer and a counter technician who would help those inquiring about city services.
Weve been continuing to look at how to
best structure our staffing to best serve our

community members in the most efficient

and cost-effective way, Khojikian said.
Moving from contract to full-time
employees is estimated to save the city
about $60,000 annually, according to the
report.
The council also moved ahead with releasing $20,000 annually and a one-time payment of $30,000 to support initiatives that
would translate city newsletters and meetings into Spanish, according to the report.
The city will continue to set aside
reserves that account for a 30 percent of
expenditures and $1.5 million toward the
Main Street Bridge. Ruddock said shes concerned that Fraser expressed doubt about
that amount being enough to fund improvements or replacement of the aging 100year-old bridge, the fate of which was the
topic of two ballot measures in the June
election.
Yet as the budget process is still in the
early stages, capital improvement program
funds and plans for the coming fiscal year
will be further reviewed May 5. The City
Council is scheduled to adopt the final
2015-2016 budget at a meeting June 2.

redevelopment agency fund.

Deputy Mayor Jack Matthews said he also
hopes to engage local architects in hosting
design charrettes as the city updates the
1992 Downtown Area Plan. As times have
changed, Matthews encourages the public
to get involved and wants to see out-of-thebox thinking.
Theres a lot of different options out
there about whats important in terms of
types of uses and whether we should have
more residences in the downtown and
greater heights and that sort of thing. I
think people are really thinking about it
from a fresh point of view, Matthews said.
Im hoping that the community gets
involved and feels free to throw out some
ideas about what it could be that maybe we
hadnt seen before.
Matthews said he wants to have a more in-

depth analysis of downtown that includes

the area east of the Caltrain tracks, which is
primarily used as service commercial more
so than retail.
Matthews added hes long sought the City
Council to consider relocating City Hall
downtown and creating a centralized plaza
that could host events.
Lim agreed hed like to use the engagement process to consider forming gathering
places.
Im really interested in making our
downtown much more community oriented
and by that, for me, community oriented
means making it more pedestrian friendly,
making it more family friendly, having
maybe a central plaza where we can host
events, and tying [downtown] to our Central
Park in a more meaningful way, Lim said.
Along with this ongoing summer series,

the update of the Downtown Area Plan will

incorporate other ongoing initiatives such
as the Downtown Parking Plan, the Central
Park Master Plan update, the Sustainable
Streets Plan and more.
Every plan builds upon the other plans.
None of them exist in a vacuum. All of
them should complement one another to
help build the best community that we can
envision, Lim said. Im excited. Itll be a
great process and a lot of fun.

and analytical skills, as well as utilize

technology.
Waddell said the new accountability
system, which is in the early stages of
development, will likely be so different from API that the two scores will
not be compatible for comparison.
The new system, which could be
ready for the fall of 2016, may also
consider factors such as graduation
data and student preparedness for college and a career, according to a state
report.
Magee said a system that considers
more factors than just standardized test
scores is preferable to the index previously in place.
The accountability system is
stronger if it includes multiple measures of student growth and achievement, she said.
And though there will be no performance index available this school year,
scores from the Smarter Balanced

exams will be reported to the public,

according to the report.
Since API was established in 1999,
the score has gained traction among
residents of communities to gauge success of their local schools.
Under the next system, it may be difficult to compare achievement from
school to school or across districts,
according to the report.
To develop a system that measures
student growth will take time and may
make comparability across schools or
school districts a challenge, according to the report.
Waddell said it will be integral for
officials to educate the public on the
intricacies of the new system, as it
begins to take shape.
As a new system is developed, the
need for communication will clearly be
critical, he said. The next index is
likely to be more complex than just a
simple number.

The Solution: The DRT Method, (Disc Restoration Therapy)

The DRT Method is a 5 Step S.P.I.N.E. approach to healing & restoring
function to bulging and degenerative discs.
Spinal Decompression, Physiotherapy, Inter-Segmental Mobilization, Nutritional
Support, Exercise Rehabilitation.
The DRT Method allows for a much higher success rate by increasing hydration
and restoring health to your discs. This results in a more effective and lasting
solution to your pain. There are no side effects and no recovery time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment has proven to be effective... even when drugs,
epidurals, traditional chiropractic, physical therapy and surgery have failed....
Disc Restoration Therapy has shown dramatic results.

Who is a Candidate for Disc Restoration Therapy

Disc Restoration Therapy has been found to relieve the pain associated with disc
degeneration, herniated and bulging disc, facet syndrome and sciatica. It is our
opinion that patients should exhaust all non surgical/non-invasive treatments rst
before considering surgery.

Why Bay Area Disc Centers?

Dr. Thomas Ferrigno, DC and his team have vast experience in treating
patients suffering from moderate to severe disc disease.
Dr. Thomas Ferrigno, DC is Certied by and is also part of the Disc
Centers of America Team who are a national group of doctors that
have gone through extensive training that follow the protocols set up
by The International Medical Advisory Board on Spinal Decompression, and follows the protocols set forward by Dr. Norman Shealy the
Honorary Chairman, former Harvard professor, and probably the most
published doctor in the world on spinal decompression therapy.

relief! If you are serious about getting your life back and eliminating
your back and neck pain, my staff and I are serious about helping you
