California residents live on


the edge of crumbling cliffs

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sonja Thompson lives so close to the


edge of an 80-foot bluff above the Pacific
Ocean that when paragliders fly by you can
almost high-five them.
Having the Pacific as your backyard has
its benefits, and its dangers. Crumbling
cliffs have forced dozens to leave their
homes and others like Thompson may have
to join them as EL Nio-fueled storms batter
the coast.
Last summer, whale watching was at its
prime and people who live on the cliffs of
Pacifica were treated to more than 200 dolphin sightings. The moon and sun rises are
spectacular, and the air feels like its a million miles away from smoggy cityscapes.
All the nature and wildlife I read about in
New York I get to see here up close and personal here, said Druth McClure, who
moved from the East Coast to a waterfront
apartment here 20 years ago.
But some residents last month came home
from work to find yellow restricted use
tags on their front doors, which required
them to start packing.
At some point and time we wont be able
to live here. These cliffs are primarily
packed sand so they will no doubt crumble
away, said Jackie James, who occasionally
stays with her fiance at an ocean-view apartment still safe to occupy. What do they say

Suspects

Belmont police are asking for the publics help in identifying two subjects who

Wednesday,possibly casing a residence.
At approximately 2:35 p.m., a resident
on the 1700 block of Valley View Avenue
called Belmont police to report prowlers at
his residence. The resident was not home,
but the security system at his home had

to Belmont police.
Officers responded immediately, but the
suspects had left before officers arrived.
There is no information on where the suspects went or any suspect vehicle.
They are described as white, with the man
being medium build, with a full beard and
mustache. He is wearing a white bucket

type hat, dark sunglasses, long-sleeve blue


or purple shirt with an unknown white logo
and khaki shorts. The man appeared to be

The woman was heavy-set, with blonde

logo and dark pants, according to police.
Belmont and other Peninsula communities have been the targets of residential burglars in recent months and the typical

Transparency debate follows


vote by California coastal panel
By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The agency that decides


what gets built and where along the
California coast is facing questions about
transparency after it pushed out its top executive in a closed-door vote and without a
clear explanation of why the change was
being made.
Executive Director Charles Lester was dismissed on a 7-5 tally Wednesday night,
which was announced after the commission
listened to hours of testimony from dozens
of witnesses, virtually all of it extolling
Lesters work and commitment to a coastline open for all.
Former Commissioner Steve Blank, who
was viewed as an environmental advocate
while on the panel and resigned in 2013,
said he was astonished by the commissions

SAN FRANCISCO Health officials say


Dungeness crabs caught along a swath of
Californias coast no longer show high levels of a marine toxin and are safe to eat.
Public Health Officer Karen Smith on
Thursday lifted a health advisory for the popular crustaceans that had been in effect from
Pt. Reyes to Monterey County since midNovember. A similar warning was cancelled
off the coasts of Santa Barbara and San Luis
Obispo counties on New Years Eve.
The Dungeness crabbing seasons were
delayed in California, Oregon and
Washington last year after testing showed
unhealthy levels of domoic acid, a toxin that
can cause gastrointestinal illness.
The advisory remains in effect north of Pt.
Reyes.
Rock crabs caught around the Channel
Islands and near Piedras Blancas Light
Station in San Luis Obisbo County remain
subject to a health warning as well.

Ryan had two loves in life - his family and shing. He was a devoted father and loved
watching his three beautiful children play sports. A longtime baseball and soccer coach,
he was always on the sidelines shouting encouragement as his mother and father did
when he was young. Vacations to Hawaii with family produced many fond memories.
A passionate sherman, and lifelong Giants and 49ers fan, some of Ryans favorite things
to do were to catch huge trout, go to the mountains near MiWuk Village and Lake Tahoe
for shing, snow skiing and camping - all lifelong obsessions. Twenty sh in a day was
quite common, but without a big one, Ryan never called it a great day unless his kids
were on the boat with him. Many outings to Beardsley Lake and the surrounding areas
are family treasures. Shark week on the SF Bay with the kids and friends were lots of
fun. Oz also enjoyed a good round of golf and a wager or two on the occasional game.
Everyone in the family asked Ryan for his pick before risking their own cash; he had a
gift. A Giants season ticket holder since 2000, Ryan enjoyed many a game with family and
friends in the stands and was red up to see them win three World Series Championships
these last several years.
A graduate of Burlingame High School (Class of 1995) and Menlo College, Ryan was a
tremendous local athlete. Playing AYSO as a boy he routinely scored 3-4 goals in a game.
In junior high school he could dunk a basketball and set the BIS school record for the
high jump. At BHS Ryan was a three sport star, playing football, basketball and track. A
punishing Safety in football, he helped BHS go 10-0 in 1993 and to the CCS. In track he
placed 4th in the County in the 100 meter dash and won a track tournament with a high
jump of 6 feet 4 inches. He could still dunk a basketball up until his untimely death.
Those that know Ryan well will never forget his wicked dry sense of humor. A lover, a
ghter, a great man. We miss you and love you, Little Bro (Ryber).

Massive natural gas leak near Los


Angeles plugged after 16 weeks
By Brian Melley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES A blowout at a natural


gas well that leaked uncontrollably for 16
weeks and drove thousands of residents from
their Los Angeles homes was plugged
Thursday, a utility said.
While the well still needs to be permanently sealed with cement and inspected by
state regulators, the announcement by
Southern California Gas Co. marked the
first time the massive leak has been under
control since it was reported Oct. 23.
Weve achieved control of the well
today, said Jimmie Cho, a SoCalGas senior
vice president. He said he was very confident they would complete the job.
The leak is expected to cost the company,
a division of Sempra Energy, $250 million
to $300 million, according to a filing with

the Securities and Exchange Commission.


That figure could climb much higher
because it only accounts for costs of capping the well, lost gas and relocating families. It does not include potential damages
from more than 65 lawsuits, penalties from
government agencies and expenses to mitigate pollution, which the company noted
could be significant.
If the plug holds and all goes according to
plan to seal the well, the upscale Porter
Ranch community in the San Fernando
Valley could begin to return to normalcy
after schools were closed and 6,400 families
were uprooted as they complained of
headaches, nausea, nosebleeds and other
symptoms as an intermittent stench wafted
through the area.
Public health officials blamed their woes
on an odorant added to gas so it can be
detected and have said they dont expect
long-term health impacts.

Barack Obama: strange things


happen when voters are scared
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHERTON President Barack Obama


said Thursday that strange things can happen in politics when voters are scared and
that the angst people are feeling across the
country is finding voice in both the
Republican and Democratic parties.
We have to listen to that, Obama said at
a Democratic Party fundraiser at the
Atherton home of supporter and venture
capitalist Steve Westly.
Obama commented two days after billionaire businessman Donald Trump rode that
wave of voter anger at traditional politicians to a commanding win in New
Hampshires Republican presidential primary. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders did the
same in the states Democratic primary,
trouncing longtime front-runner Hillary
Clinton by double digits.
Obama said the country is in an interesting political moment and that its still
early in the process for choosing the presidential nominees.
He said what is true is that people are
anxious despite the progress thats been
made since he took office seven years ago.
Obama said people remember the dire economic straits the country faced at the dawn
of his presidency, when the economy shed
hundreds of thousands of jobs and people
were losing their homes and retirement savings. He said people are concerned about
income inequality and laboring under a
political system they believe works against
their interests.

Barack Obama waves as he walks toward Air Force One upon his departure from Moffett Field
in Mountain View.
That concern is expressing itself in the
Republican Party as well as in the
Democratic Party and we have to listen to
that, Obama told several hundred people
gathered in the sloping backyard of
Westlys home in Atherton. Because when
people are scared, strange things can happen in politics.
We can get a politics thats not about
bringing people together, Obama said.
He said the country never moves forward

when its based on us and them. It moves


forward when its based on us. Period.
Obama was raising money for his fellow
Democrats at four California fundraisers on
Thursday, including a private event benefiting the campaign arm for Democratic
Senate candidates. Two fundraisers are
scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Los
Angeles, including one at which Grammy
Award-winning singer John Legend is

Clinton and Sanders


clash over minorities,
money andObama
By Julie Pace and Catherine Lucey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILWAUKEE Hillary Clinton and


Bernie Sanders battled for the crucial backing of black and Hispanic voters in Thursday
nights Democratic debate and clashed heatedly over their support for Barack Obama as
the presidential race shifted toward states
with more minority voters.
Clinton, who has cast herself as the rightful heir to Obamas legacy, accused Sanders
of diminishing the presidents record and
short-changing his leadership.
The kind of criticism I hear from Senator
Sanders, I expect from Republicans. I do not
expect it from someone seeking the
Democratic nomination, Clinton said in a
sharp exchange at the close of the two-hour
debate in Milwaukee. Her biting comments
followed an interview in which Sanders suggested Obama hadnt succeeded in closing
the gap between Congress and the American
people something Obama himself has
acknowledged.
Sanders responded: Madam Secretary,
that is a low blow. And he noted that
Clinton was the only one on the stage who
ran against Obama in the 2008 presidential
race.
Long viewed as the overwhelming frontrunner in the Democratic race, Clinton has
been caught off guard by Sanders strength,
particularly his visceral connection with
Americans frustrated by the current political
and economic systems. Clintons own campaign message has looked muddled compared
to his ringing call for a political revolution, and her connections to Wall Street
have given Sanders an easy way to link her
to the systems his supporters want to overhaul.

Seeking to stem Sanders momentum, her


campaign has argued that his appeal is mostly limited to the white, liberal voters who
make up the Democratic electorate in Iowa
and New Hampshire. Clintons team says
that as the race turns now to Nevada, South
Carolina and other more diverse states, her
support from black and Hispanic voters will
help propel her to the nomination.
Attempting Thursday night to boost his
own support from minorities, Sanders peppered his typically economic-focused rhetoric with calls to reform a broken criminal
justice system that incarcerates a disproportionate number of minorities.
At the end of my first term, we will not
have more people in jail than any other
country, he said.
In one of many moments of agreement
between the candidates, Clinton concurred
on a need to fix the criminal justice system,
but cast her proposals for fighting racial
inequality as broader than his.
We also have to talk about jobs, education, housing, and other ways of helping
communities, said Clinton, who was
endorsed earlier in the day by the political
action committee of the Congressional
Black Caucus.
The candidates both vowed to pursue comprehensive immigration reform, using the
emotional issue to draw a contrast with
Republicans who oppose allowing many of
the millions of people in the United States
illegally to stay.
We have got to stand up to the Trumps of
the world who are trying to divide us up,
said Sanders, referring to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, who has called for
deporting everyone in the country illegally
and constructing a wall along the U.S.Mexico border.

WASHINGTON Congress voted


Thursday to permanently bar state and local
governments from taxing access to the
Internet, as lawmakers leapt at an electionyear chance to demonstrate their opposition
to imposing levies on online service.
On a vote of 75-20, the Senate gave final
congressional approval to the wide-ranging
bill, which would also revamp trade laws.
The White House said President Barack
Obama will sign it.
The Internet is a resource used daily by
Americans of all ages, said Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
who brokered an agreement with a
Democratic leader earlier this week that
helped clear the way for passage. Its
important that they be able to do all of this
without the worry of their Internet access
being taxed.
The ban on local Internet access taxes had
broad support. Even so, some lawmakers
remained unhappy over its trade provisions
and because the measure omitted a separate,
more controversial proposal to let states
force online retailers to collect sales taxes
for their transactions.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, DNev., said the bill was full of missed opportunities and half-measures.
Since 1998 in the Internets early days,
Congress has passed a series of bills temporarily prohibiting state and local governments from imposing the types of
monthly levies for online access that are
common for telephone service. Such legislation has been inspired by a popular
sentiment that the Internet should be free,
al o n g wi t h Rep ub l i can o p p o s i t i o n t o

The Internet is a resource


used daily by Americans
of all ages. ... Its important
that they be able to do all of

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

most tax proposals.


Until now, states that imposed Internet
access taxes have been allowed to continue.
Under the approved bill, those states would
have to phase out their taxes by the summer
of 2020.
Seven states Hawaii, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas
and Wisconsin have been collecting a
combined $563 million yearly from
Internet access taxes, according to information gathered by the nonpartisan
Congressional Research Service.
Forty-nine Republican and 26 Democratic
senators backed the legislation Thursday
while 17 Democrats and three Republicans
voted no.
The House approved the compromise in
December with the backing of nearly all
Republicans but just 24 Democrats.
Although Obama planned to sign the bill,
the White House took issue with a provision
opposing the boycott, divestment and
sanctions movement against Israel that
uses the phrase Israeli-controlled territories. White House spokesman Josh Earnest
said the provision contradicts U.S. policy
toward Israeli settlements. U.S. policy considers Israeli settlements in the disputed
West Bank to be illegitimate.

What are Einsteins gravitational waves?


WHAT IS A GRAVITATIONAL WAVE?

recording of what they called a chirp.

Gravitational waves are extremely faint


ripples in the fabric of space and time that
come from some of the most violent
events in the universe. In this case, it is
from the merger of two black holes 1.3
billion light-years away. The way to think
of this is to imagine a mesh net and visualize pulling on its ends. Those kinks are
sort of like what a gravitational wave
does.

HOW CAN THEY


BE CERTAIN THIS IS REAL?

WHAT IS SPACE-TIME?

REUTERS

A computer simulation shows how our sun and Earth warp space and time, or spacetime,
represented here with a grid.

Einsteins right again

Space-time is the mind-bending, fourdimensional way astronomers see the universe. It melds the one-way march of time
with the more familiar three dimensions
of space.
General relativity says that gravity is
caused by heavy objects bending spacetime. And when massive but compact
objects like black holes or neutron stars
collide, their immense gravity causes
space-time to stretch or compress.

Scientists detect ripples in the fabric of space and time HOW IS THIS
By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON It was just a tiny, almost


imperceptible chirp, but it simultaneously
opened humanitys ears to the music of the
cosmos and proved Einstein right again.
In what is being hailed as one of the
biggest eureka moments in the history of
physics, scientists announced Thursday
that they have finally detected gravitational waves, the ripples in the fabric of space
and time that Einstein predicted a century
ago.
The news exhilarated astronomers and
physicists. Because the evidence of gravitational waves is captured in audio form, the
finding means astronomers will now be able
to hear the soundtrack of the universe and
listen as violent collisions reshape the cosmos.
It will be like going from silent movies to
talkies, they said.
Until this moment, we had our eyes on
the sky and we couldnt hear the music, said
Columbia
University
astrophysicist
Szabolcs Marka, a member of the discovery
team. The skies will never be the same.
An all-star international team of astrophysicists used an exquisitely sensitive,
$1.1 billion set of twin instruments known
as the Laser Interferometer Gravitationalwave Observatory, or LIGO, to detect a gravitational wave generated by the collision of
two black holes 1.3 billion light-years from
Earth.
Einstein would be beaming, said

National Science Foundation director France


Cordova.
The proof consisted of what scientists
called a single chirp in truth, it sounded
more like a thud that was picked up on
Sept. 14. Astronomers played the recording
at an overflowing news conference Thursday.
Thats the chirp weve been looking for,
said Louisiana State University physicist
Gabriela Gonzalez, scientific spokeswoman
for the LIGO team. Scientists said they hope
to have a greatest hits compilation of the
universe in a decade or so.
Some physicists said the finding is as big
a deal as the 2012 discovery of the subatomic Higgs boson, known as the God particle. Some said this is bigger.
Its really comparable only to Galileo
taking up the telescope and looking at the
planets, said Penn State physics theorist
Abhay Ashtekar, who wasnt part of the discovery team.
Physicist Stephen Hawking congratulated
the LIGO team, telling the BBC:
Gravitational waves provide a completely
new way of looking at the universe. The
ability to detect them has the potential to
revolutionize astronomy.
Gravitational waves, postulated by Albert
Einstein in 1916 as part of his theory of
general relativity, are extraordinarily faint
ripples in space-time, the continuum that
combines both time and three-dimensional
space. When massive objects like black
holes or neutron stars collide, they generate
gravitational waves that stretch space-time
or cause it to bunch up like a fishing net.

HEARING THE COSMOS?


Scientists mostly use the word hear
when describing gravitational waves, and
the data does, in fact, arrive in audio form.
The researchers can don headphones and
listen to the detectors output if they want.
On Thursday, to prove they found a gravitational wave, the researchers played a

Astronomers sat on the discovery for


nearly five months, since Sept. 14,
checking back and forth to make sure it
was right. They considered all sorts of
Earth-bound interference or noise, examined the possibilities and eventually dismissed them.
The astronomers are so cautious that
they routinely have other scientists deliberately inject false data to test their abilities. In those tests, the observatory team
was able to show that the injected data
wasnt real. In the case of the discovery
announced Thursday, they are extra certain
they are not seeing injected or hacked data
because the system that allows false information to be inserted was down at the
time.
In addition, the team of 1,004 scientists
on the project looked over the data, and
the results were then peer-reviewed by
even more experts and published in the
journal Physical Review Letters.

WHATS NEXT?
Expect more waves. It could be as many
as a few a month or as little as a few per
year. The observatory is also being further
upgraded to hear even fainter, more distant
waves.

Lets cut to the chase:
Climate change is real
Editor,
Wow, it looks like Editor Jon
Mays is sleeping with a Republican
climate denier playbook under his
pillow. His last column (The Earth
and its changing climate in the
Feb. 5 edition of the Daily Journal)
confuses the long-term view of climate change with the immediate
timeline that all the climate scientists are referring to. We are dealing
with the 20- and 50-year horizon,
not the 20,000- and 50,000-year
pattern. Please, lets get our ducks
in some sort of row here.
In the last sentence of his second
paragraph he nails it correctly:
Many who focus on man-made
greenhouse gases suggest we are
ending this interglacial period faster
than what would naturally occur.
Right you are Jon. This is the whole
discussion folks. Then he goes on to
belittle those who want to drive
non-polluting vehicles and conserve
generally bad move. Then in the
fourth paragraph, he talks good
sense again, referring to our burgeoning population and our rapacious ways by stressing the planets
ecosystem with its obvious effects.
So lets keep the discussion rational
and accept that we are indeed having
a bad impact and have very little
time to clean up our act.

Just last month, the district awarded Gatepath with a $51,000 grant to
help us provide health education and
fitness programs for adults with
developmental disabilities, and for
increasing support services for families of children with special needs
through our Family Resource Center.
The quality and sustainability of our

2007, and we are deeply grateful to
have their continued partnership and
support for our community.

Big money wins


again, for better or worse
Editor,
In their most contentious debate
of the campaign, Hillary Clinton
and Bernie Sanders sparred days
ahead of the New Hampshire primary. Sanders challenged Clintons
progressive credentials and her cozy
relationship to Wall Street. In the
last quarter, her super PACs have
raised a staggering $15 million. The
quid pro quo will surely prevail; big
money invariably triumphs against
poor and middle-class Americans.
This will be the death knell of
democracy and accelerate an
unhealthy plutocracy. Most members of Congress have already abandoned their constituents in favor of
big money interests.
Last year, Hilary Clinton called
herself a moderate, but sensing the
winds of change, now calls herself a
progressive. The Democratic Party
has to address an important existential issue: Should they feed from the
same super PAC money troughs as
the Republicans, enabled by
Citizens United?
During the debate, questions were
raised about the $675,000 Clinton
received from Goldman Sachs. There
is scant hope she will ever release
the transcripts of her speeches.
Sanders was right on target to
expose the blatant illegal activities

Advocates for gun control


youre wasting your time
Editor,
Its lamentable that so many folks
who scream for gun control as a
way to reduce violence in our culture
are so misguided. By applauding illcrafted (and possibly unconstitutional) executive orders which will
affect law-abiding citizens only,
this group of gun control advocates waste their political energy.
Just as an example, none of the
new executive orders would have
stopped the mass slaughter in San
Bernardino just a few weeks ago.
Even the latest executive order
designed to close the gun show
loophole is so poorly written that
enforcement is unlikely. And speaking of enforcement, killer Dylann
Roof purchased his weapon through
legal channels even though existing
law made him ineligible. Thats correct, he should not have passed the
background check he was given. Yet,
due to a FBI failure to properly conduct his background check, he was
allowed to purchase the gun he used
to kill nine churchgoers in
Charleston in June 2015. Has the
president done anything to hold
anyone accountable for that fatal
error? Dream on. But the president
has released dozens of terrorist
killers from custody in Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba. And in December, he
commuted the federal sentence of
convicted felons who used a firearm
in the commission of their crimes.
How nice is that?
There are several things that can
be done to reduce the senseless
slaughter in America, but ultimately
nothing will convince gun control
folks that they are wasting their
time.

Just a bit more


on the planet
I

knew last week that there might be some misinterpretation of my column about climate change, but
didnt expect the sheer volume of response. Some
letters, some emails and a few phone calls. Some people
loved it, some vehemently hated it. Others appreciated
the food for thought. All of that is OK. I appreciate that
people feel strongly and want to share their opinions
and their passion on
what is a sensitive and
sometimes political
topic.
However, I thought I
might make a quick
clarification, then
elaborate a bit on a
section I didnt get a
chance to last week.
First, for the clarification. I intended for the
column to basically
say, no matter your
idea on climate
change, whether its
man-made or not,
ancient history strongly suggests it is happening, and we might
as well be prepared for it.
Now that that portion of housekeeping is done, here
is the elaboration. Seems some people took severe issue
with the suggestion that having an electric car is presumptuous in how much it will help with our climate
since its changing with or without us. True, one conversion from a gasoline car to an electric one wont
make a lick of difference, especially since electricity
still relies on a significant amount of fossil fuel
though that could change with technological advancements. However, one could argue that our personal decisions do add up to change. Yes, that is true. Absolutely
true. Yet thinking that having an electric car will
absolve you of all your environmental sins is a bit
short-sighted. Having something flashy to show you
care about the environment does not make up for having
a 400 or 600 amp panel on your 4,000-square-foot (or
bigger) home and using all of that panel every day.
I dont fault people for having electric cars, I really
dont. I think its a creative way to reduce our reliance
on fossil fuel, and all the perils that go along with that.
Besides, some of them are pretty neat. But many are
expensive, and not easily accessible by those with
lower incomes especially when factoring in the electrical work that must be done in a house to ensure there is
ample power supply. It might change, but for now, electric cars are mainly the province of the elite.
Those of lower incomes, and also renters, dont necessarily have the luxury of buying an electric car. It is
also presumptuous to think that having an electric car is
the answer. Its not. One could argue its one piece of a
larger puzzle we can all work on together to be gentler
to the Earth. And regardless of your stance on climate
change, isnt that a worthwhile goal?
But there is also something to be said for simply
reducing the amount of energy and products we use and
the impact we may have on the environment. It is a philosophy I hold dear. Being gentle on the Earth is good
policy, not just for our government and society, but also
on a personal level. We live in a wonderful area with
tremendous natural resources. We all want our air and
water to be cleaner and to have less waste building up in
landfills. This is a good overall goal for us to have and
there are many ways to go about it. But I get irritated by
those who show off and get in peoples faces about what
great things they are doing for the planet (and what others should be doing) when they use way more resources
than necessary.
Last week, I was simply saying that we cannot slow
down the eventual coming of climate change because our
planet has been through several incarnations of it for
billions of years. But that doesnt mean we should not
be concerned about our impact on our planet, and live
within our environmental means rather than make up for
our excess through trendy purchases and theories. After
all, we are all in this together and its important to be
mindful of our decisions, each and every one of them.

Jitters over the global economy and


steep declines in bank stocks knocked
U.S. stocks lower for the fourth day in
a row Thursday.
The slide in the U.S. followed large
losses all around the world and left all
three major U.S. indexes down at least
10 percent since the beginning of the
year.
The latest slump reflected heightened concerns that global economic
growth is slowing, even as Federal
Reserve Chair Janet Yellen reiterated
her confidence in the U.S. economy in
testimony to congress Thursday.
A lot of people are having trouble
assessing the true value of stocks,
said J.J. Kinahan, TD Ameritrades
chief strategist. What it says to me is
were going to continue with volatility.
Financial companies were among
the biggest decliners amid growing
anxiety that interest rates in the U.S.
and elsewhere would remain low and
sap bank profits. The price of oil tumbled to $26.21, its lowest level since
May 2003. Investors fled to the traditional havens of bonds and precious
metals. Gold jumped 4.5 percent.
While stocks ended lower, they

recovered somewhat from far steeper


losses earlier in the day. The Dow
Jones industrial average dropped
254. 56 points, or 1. 6 percent, to
15, 660. 18. The average had been
down as much as 411 points.
The Standard & Poors 500 lost
22. 78 points, or 1. 2 percent, to
1,829.08. The Nasdaq composite fell
16. 76 points, or 0. 4 percent, to
4,266.84.
Investors have become increasingly
worried that the mounting market turmoil could put a brake on the global
economy at a time it is already struggling with a litany of issues, including
Chinas slowdown, low inflation and
plunging energy markets.
Yellen, in her second day of testimony before U.S. lawmakers Thursday,
acknowledged that global economic
pressures pose risks to the U.S. economy, but said its too early to tell
whether those risks are severe enough
to alter the central banks interest-rate
policies.
That failed to reassure investors
hoping the Fed would signal that rate
hikes are off the table for this year,
said Katie Nixon, chief investment
officer at Northern Trust Wealth
Management.
The market is disappointed in that
and looking for more direct comment

on perhaps pushing out rate increases, Nixon said. She had the opportunity to do that, so thats obviously
feeding into market anxiety.
All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 index
closed lower. Financial stocks fell the
most, down 3 percent.
Citigroup fell $2.43, or 6.5 percent,
to $34.98, while Bank of America shed
82 cents, or 6.8 percent, to $11.16.
JPMorgan slid $2.45, or 4.4 percent,
to $53.07.
Benchmark U.S. crude oil fell for the
sixth day in a row, sliding $1.24, or
4.5 percent, to $26.21 a barrel in New
York. Brent crude, a benchmark for
international oils, dropped 78 cents,
or 2.5 percent, to $30.06 a barrel in
London. Natural gas fell 5 cents, or
2.5 percent, to $1.99 per 1,000 cubic
feet.
The drop in oil and natural gas prices
sent shares in several energy companies lower. Southwestern Energy lost
43 cents, or 5 percent, to $8.15, while
NRG Energy shed $1.11, or 10.4 percent, to $9.59.
Boeing plunged 6.8 percent following a report that the Securities and
Exchange Commission is investigating the aircraft manufacturer over
accounting practices. The stock was
the worst-performer in the Dow, losing
$7.92 to $108.44.

Yellen: Too early to determine impact of global developments


By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Federal Reserve Chair


Janet Yellen cautioned Thursday that global
economic pressures pose risks to the U.S.
economy but said its too soon to know
whether those risks are severe enough to
alter the Feds interest-rate policies.
Yellen said the Fed will determine at its
next meeting in March how much economic weakness and falling markets around the
world have hamstrung U.S. growth. And for
a second day, Yellen was asked about the
possibility that the Fed would use negative
interest rates as a way to give the economy
more support.
She repeated that the Fed had studied the

prospect of deploying
negative rates in 2010
but had decided then not
to use them to try to
boost the economy. But
she said the Fed thought
it should study the issue
again now that other
central banks, including
Janet Yellen in Europe and Japan, are
using negative rates to
try to step up lending and energize growth.
In light of the experience of European
countries and others that have gone to negative rates, Yellen said, we are taking a
look at them again because we would want
to be prepared in the event we needed to
nudge rates below zero to try to fuel bor-

rowing and spending.


Yellen stressed that any Fed decision to
employ negative rates in the United States
was not imminent. She said that while the
financial landscape has darkened since the
Feds December rate increase, reversing
course from gradually raising rates to cutting rates is not what I consider the most
likely scenario.
The Fed chair acknowledged that the
central bank has been surprised by how
much energy prices have dropped and the
U.S. dollar has risen in value since mid2014.
We have been surprised in part by those
developments, and they have played a significant role in holding down inflation,
Yellen said.

What a recession does to your money


By Stan Choe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK If we are indeed in the


midst of a recession and we wont
know were in one until well after its
begun stocks likely still have a
long way to go down.
The Standard & Poors 500 index has
dropped 14 percent since peaking last
summer, and it joined markets around
the world in another slide on Thursday.
Worries are high that the sharp slow-

down in Chinas growth, falling U.S.


corporate profits and other downward
pressures will pull the economy back
into a recession.
If a garden-variety one is on the way,
the stock markets drop isnt even
halfway done.
Stocks have lost an average of 33
percent from top to bottom around
past recessions, going back to 1929,
according to a review by strategists at
Credit Suisse.
Investors are scared enough that

theyre already pulling pages from the


recession playbook.
Theyre moving into types of stocks
and other investments that have typically held up best during past downturns and avoiding those that tend to
get hit the worst.
The temptation to sell everything
and get out of stocks can be costly,
though. Following every past recession, stocks have eventually gone on
to recover their losses and then
climb higher.

Pandora CEO declines comment on sale report, shares recede


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Pandora Medias stock


retreated in after-hours trading
Thursday after the Internet radio
giants fourth-quarter earnings fell
short of expectations and its CEO

declined to comment on a report that


the company is looking to sell itself.
Pandoras stock jumped earlier in the
day after The New York Times reported
the company is working with Morgan
Stanley to meet potential buyers. The
report cited people who requested

anonymity who had been briefed in the


talks, which were described as preliminary.
CEO Brian McAndrews declined to
comment on the report when asked in a
conference call following the companys quarterly earnings report.

The Fed has tied further rate increases to


further evidence that its moving toward
achieving its goal of having inflation rise
at a rate of 2 percent annually. For nearly
four years, the Fed has fallen well short of
that target, in part because of sinking energy prices and a stronger dollar, which lowers the cost of imported goods.
Yellens testimony Thursday to the
Senate Banking Committee followed an
appearance Wednesday before the House
Financial Services Committee. On both
days, Yellen cautioned that global pressures could depress the economys growth
and slow the pace of Fed rate hikes.
On Thursday, Sen. Charles Schumer, DN.Y., challenged Yellen on the pace of
future rate hikes.

Business brief
PepsiCos revenue in North
America climbs, helped by pricing
NEW YORK PepsiCo said revenue for its North
American snacks and drinks units rose in the fourth quarter,
boosted by pricing.
The maker of Frito-Lay chips and Tropicana juice has
been retooling its product lineup and rethinking pricing to
fetch more money from shoppers. The strategies include the
introduction of new lines of Gatorade and Mountain Dew
Dewshine, which comes in glass bottles that people might
feel is worth a higher price.
The focus on finding novel ways to extract more money
from shoppers comes as major packaged food and beverage
makers face slowing growth in saturated markets like the
United States. Coca-Cola Co., for instance, has been pushing its mini-cans that are seen as more premium offerings,
and even featured the 7.5-ounce can in its Super Bowl ad.
Both Coke and Pepsi are also slashing costs and investing more in marketing, which they say helps justify higher
prices and drives sales.
For the typical 12-ounce cans and 2-liter bottles of sodas,
PepsiCo Inc. has also been trying to move away from the
discounting that helped drive sales in the past.

Raiders to stay in
Oakland at least
one more season

Crystal Springs freshman Tess Bosley, despite slipping, manages to get a shot off a score the games only goal in the Gryphons 1-0 win over
Mercy-Burlingame, giving the Gyphons the WBAL Skyline Division crown.

Gryphons grab title


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A little over two weeks ago, the Crystal


Springs girls soccer team dominated
Mercy-Burlingame in a key West Bay
Athletic League Skyline Division matchup,
but came up short on the scoreboard, 3-2.
Thursday, the two teams met in a rematch
of that Jan. 26 game and this time it was for
the all the marbles: the winner would earn
the division title.
Working against Crystal Springs, however, was the fact it was without its star midfielder Nikki Lee and the Gryphons were facing a Crusaders side that was anxious for a
victory.
While Mercy-Burlingame evened things

out from the first meeting, it was the


Gryphons who managed to find the back of
the net when freshman Tess Bosley struck in
the 43rd minute to beat the Crusaders 1-0.
This was their No. 1 goal (winning the
division title), Crystal Springs coach
Michael Flynn said of his team. The last
two years theyve been so close.
The last two seasons had seen Crystal
Springs (9-1 WBAL Skyline, 13-4-1 overall) finish in second place. This season, the
Gryphons finally sealed the deal.
It wasnt easy. Mercy-Burlingames success this season was no fluke. The Crusaders
(7-2-1) are young and talented and they
made the Gryphons work for the victory.
Early on, it was clear the Gryphons were
missing Lee, who suffered concussion

symptoms the day after their win over


Priory Tuesday. They struggled to link more
than two passes together Thursday and their
offense bogged down in the middle of the
field.
Mercy was there to take advantage and the
Crusaders controlled the midfield and the
pace of the game. Striker Emily Naughton
and Sarah Feller made several dangerous
runs in the first half, but the Gryphons managed to turn them away.
Summer Salamy had Mercys best scoring
chance of the first half come in the 15th
minute when she received a pass near the
corner of the goal box and managed to turn
in a tight space. Her shot, however, was

NBA All-Star game goes international


By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO Of all the goodies Kobe


Bryant collects in his farewell season, one
this weekend might be particularly useful.
After all, you need a good winter coat in
Canada. Though Bryant probably wouldnt
be too unhappy walking
away with another AllStar Game MVP trophy.
The final NBA showcase for Bryant and the
first to be staged outside
the U.S. is in Toronto,
the city that staged the
first NBA game 70 years
ago and is so enthusiastic
Kobe Bryant for basketball now that it
could no longer be
ignored no matter what the thermometer
says.
I think its going to be bonkers, former
Raptors superstar Vince Carter said.
I think its overdue. Its a great city. I
think theyll be a great host and I think guys
are going to have a lot of fun. Its going to
be cold.
Frigid, actually.
A relatively mild winter by Canadas stan-

dards will be nothing but a warm memory


this weekend, when Saturdays forecast is for
temperatures near zero degrees and far below
it with the wind chill. The players can cover
up with the parkas Canada Goose, maker of
cold weather outerwear, designed for them.
The NBA long sought warm-weather locations for its winter road trip, and cities that
had a good chance for a white Christmas
generally had little hope of getting All-Star
weekend.
But Toronto, where the Toronto Huskies
and New York Knicks played on Nov. 1,
1946, in Maple Leaf Gardens and is so passionate about its Raptors that general manager Masai Ujiri was fined a couple years ago
for using an expletive about playoff opponent Brooklyn with Commissioner Adam
Silver in attendance is an ideal host,
Silver said.
There is a special energy and excitement
around All-Star this year, and were looking
forward to four days of great events that
honor our marquee players and legends, celebrate the game, and provide loads of excitement for our fans, Silver said.
If Bryant heats up, he could add a fifth AllStar Game MVP award to his collection.
The events kick off Friday, the slam dunk
and 3-point contests are Saturday and the

game is Sunday night.


Some things to watch this weekend:

Bryants best?
Bryant is a four-time MVP of the All-Star
Game and its career scoring leader though
now just two points ahead of LeBron James.
Does the 18-time All-Stars aching body
have enough left at 37 for one more vintage
performance? Knowing Kobe as well as I
do, Im sure if he gets going, and the guys
get him going, you know the crowds going
to want it to happen; certain players are
going to want it to happen, former teammate Shaquille ONeal said in remarks provided by TNT. If he can find his stroke and
get it going a little bit, I can guarantee you
hes going to go for the MVP. Its his last
one? Why not go out with a bang?

Theyve got skills


The NBA announced the bracket Thursday
for Saturdays Skills Challenge, the event
that combines dribbling, passing and
shooting and this year features a number of
big men in a field that traditionally is for
guards. A big guy is guaranteed to reach the
final. All-Stars Anthony Davis and
DeMarcus Cousins meet in the first round,
with the winner to face All-Star Draymond

Green or rookie Karl-Anthony Towns in the


semifinals. The little guys are on the other
side: Denvers Emmanuel Mudiay vs. AllStar Isaiah Thomas, and the Lakers Jordan
Clarkson against Portlands CJ McCollum.

Good game?
The early part of the All-Star Game is
always about showing off sneakers and
dunks, but count on it becoming competitive down the stretch. The last six games
have been determined by an average of 4.7
points. Weve been actually fortunate in
recent years. Despite the highlight-type
schoolyard play early on weve had some
good games down the stretch and obviously
thats what we hope for, said Marv Albert,
who will call the game on TNT.

No Vinsanity
Carter, now playing for Memphis, is the
Raptors career leader with 23.4 points per
game and a former slam dunk champion. But
he wont be in the city he called the NBAs
best-kept secret, instead spending his
break watching his daughter play in a tennis
tournament. Its just bad timing because I
know its going to be epic and I would love
to be there, he said. Its just daddy duties
first.

NASCAR opens without two of its biggest stars


By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Jeff Gordon


will be in the booth and Tony Stewart in a
bed when the NASCAR season begins.
Neither NASCAR star will be in a car when
Daytona International
Speedway opens Friday
for preparations for the
Feb. 21 season-opening
Daytona 500. Gordon,
arguably
NASCARs
biggest star, retired at the
end of last season and the
four-time champion will
now be a Fox analyst.
He has been highly
Jeff Gordon
visible during his newly
acquired free time, and was on an all-terrain
vehicle trip with Stewart a week ago when
the three-time champion crashed. Stewart
fractured a vertebra and lay in the sand alone
for 90 minutes waiting for his group to nd
him and get him to a hospital.
The accident has sidelined Stewart for the
beginning of his nal season as a NASCAR
driver, denying him a chance to nally win
the Daytona 500. He has come heartbreakingly close in his 17 previous tries and
spoke last month of his desire to add that
win to his resume.
Instead, he will watch the race on television as he awaits approval to travel.
What Stewart will be missing is the start
of what is expected to be a dramatically

improved season with


plenty of story lines.
Kyle
Busch
will
attempt to defend his
Sprint Cup title, which
he snatched from 2014
champion
Kevin
Harvick.
Defending
Daytona 500 winner Joey
Tony Stewart Logano will be chasing a
championship berth he
was denied last year because a feud with Matt
Kenseth.
The drivers will all be using a new rules
package that they pushed for during a new
era of increased communication between
NASCAR and its participants. Denny
Hamlin spearheaded a driver council last year
at a time when the on-track product was practically unwatchable, with rules that made
passing very difcult and catching the leader
a daunting task.
As NASCAR tried a variety of different
packages, the drivers were vocal in the
desire for less downforce. Through months
of wide-ranging conversations, the drivers
secured the rules package they wanted and
nally feel that they have a voice in decision-making.
The hope is that the racing will be more
entertaining this year.
The eld has been cut from 43 cars to 40,
and there are only four open slots each week
to teams that arent guaranteed a spot in the
eld through NASCARs new franchise system. NASCAR is also replacing its greenwhite-checkered system used late in races

with an overtime line that will vary by


track.
Some other things to know heading into
the season opener:

Champ returns
Kyle Busch begins the defense of his
Sprint Cup championship at the same track
that cost him a chunk of the 2015 season.
Busch broke his right leg and left foot when
his car slammed into a concrete wall during
the Xnity Series race at Daytona. He missed
the Daytona 500 and 10 more races last year,
yet a midsummer hot streak propelled him
into the Chase and his rst Cup title followed. Daytona has since installed more
than 8,500 feet of energy-absorbing soft
walls.

Logano defends
Joey Logano won the Daytona 500 last
year, a milestone victory to kick off the best
season of his career. Logano even reeled off
three straight wins during the Chase before
he was eliminated, ending his bid for his
rst Cup title. Logano is trying to become
rst driver to win consecutive Daytona 500s
since Sterling Marlin (1994-95). He was
eliminated after Matt Kenseth intentionally
wrecked him at Martinsville.

Daytona rising
The $400 million Daytona Rising project
is complete and will be a featured aspect of
the season opener. The massive renovation
to NASCARs most storied track should dras-

tically improve fan experience and maybe


help capture the attention of future generations. The three-year project removed backstretch seating and completely changed the
front-stretch grandstands, turning them into
the worlds rst motorsports stadium. The
overhaul includes elaborate, corporatesponsored fan entrances, more than 1,400
high-denition televisions and more diverse
food and beverage options.

Rookies to watch
This seasons rookie class could go down
as one of the best in recent years. Chase
Elliott headlines the eld, replacing the
retired Jeff Gordon in the No. 24 Chevrolet.
Chris Buescher, last years Xnity champ,
joins Elliott in a class that also includes
Ryan Blaney, Brian Scott and Jeffrey
Earnhardt. Blaney will have to attempt to
race his way into the eld each week because
his Wood Brothers Racing team was left out
of NASCARs new charter system.

Sponsor search
Sprint is leaving at the end of the year,
pulling out after a 13-year run as the title
sponsor of NASCARs top series. Nextel
initially signed on before the 2004 season,
and the series became the Sprint Cup Series
after Sprint acquired Nextel in 2005.
NASCAR is still searching for a replacement, creating uncertainty for NASCARs
most signicant and protable sponsorship.

NASCAR creates overtime line in new finish rules


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Looking to end


the frustration and confusion that comes when
caution flags come out late in its races,
NASCAR announced Thursday that it is shifting to an unlimited green-white-checkered finish protocol and establishing an overtime
line to determine the winner.
The line will vary by track. If the race leader
passes the line on the first lap under green
before a caution comes out, it will be considered a valid green-white-checkered attempt. If
a caution comes out before the leader passes
the overtime line on the first lap under green,

it will not be a valid attempt. The race continues until a valid attempt.
NASCAR previously had a limit of three
tries to complete the race.
NASCAR hopes the change will eliminate
some of the angst that has come when late cautions. At Talladega Superspeedway last year,
Dale Earnhardt Jr. didnt get a chance to challenge leader Joey Logano into the first turn
because the race was called after a multi-car
wreck behind them. The second-place finish
caused Earnhardt to be eliminated from the
Chase.
Lets line them up and turn them loose,

give them a chance to race through at least the


first couple of turns and halfway down the
backstretch before its an official race finish,
Texas Motor Speedway president Eddie
Gossage said. And if they cant get that far
before the yellow comes out, lets line them
up again and again and again until its a clean
run.
NASCAR also officially announced
Thursday that the Sprint Cup field will be
reduced to 40 drivers from 43 because of its
new charter model that guarantees a spot in the
field for 36 cars. It also detailed plans for
Daytona 500 qualifying:

The 36 teams with a charter earn an automatic spot in the field.


There will be four open spots up for grabs.
The highest-finishing non-charter teams
in the two duel races will earn a spot in the
Daytona 500 field.
The other two open spots will be determined by pole qualifying.
Qualifying sets the front row for the
Daytona 500 and the starting lineup for the
duel races.
If weather wipes out qualifying and the duel
races, combined practice speeds will determine the four non-charter teams.

Replay ofcials are likely to


have more power when it comes to
calling targeting penalties in college football next season.
The NCAA football rules committee proposed giving replay
ofcials more authority to overturn incorrect targeting fouls and
to call targeting penalties when
they are missed on the eld. The
committee also agreed to allow
conferences to experiment with
NFL-style centralized video replay
review systems in 2016.
The rules committee completed
four days of meetings in Orlando,
Florida,
on
Thursday
and
announced several proposals that
could be implemented next season
if approved by the playing rules
oversight panel on March 8.
The targeting penalty was adopted in 2013 as a way to reduce helmet-to-helmet hits and potential
head and neck injuries. The penalty for targeting is 15 yards, plus
ejection of the player who committed the foul. While ofcials say
the rule has changed player behavior, its application has drawn
plenty of criticism from fans,
players and coaches.

This is the necessary rst step


and we will now further engage our
membership to determine if and
how we will implement this experimental
opportunity,
SEC
Commissioner Greg Sankey said
in a statement. We look forward
to communicating with other conference ofces to discuss the most
appropriate and effective implementation of collaborative replay.
Our ofce has been considering
various logistical approaches
which will be nalized prior to the
2016 season if we decide to use
this new experimental rule.
Three other rule changes that fall
under player safety were proposed:
Rules dealing with low blocks
were adjusted to prohibit a player
who leaves the tackle box from
blocking below the waist toward
the initial position of the ball.
A ball carrier who slides feet
rst will be treated as a defenseless
player.
Deliberate tripping of the ball
carrier (with the leg) was approved
as a foul.
The rules committee also proposed allowing the use of technology such as tablet computers or
laptops during games in the
coachs box and in the locker
room, but not on the sideline.

Palm Dr

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

There were 158 targeting penalties called in all FBS games last
season. Forty-three were overturned by replay review and 115
were upheld.
All targeting fouls are reviewed,
but replay ofcials have been limited to reviewing only if there was
forcible contact to the head and
neck area and if the hit was made
with the crown of the helmet.
Under this proposal, how the contact occurred, whether the player
launched into an opponent or
whether the contact was more incidental, also can be reviewed.
Replay ofcials also would be
allowed to call targeting fouls
missed on the eld, though NCAA
coordinator of ofcials Rogers
Redding emphasized only blatant
and obvious missed targeting
penalties will be called after video
review.
Its not the case that on every
play the replay ofcial is going to
scan the eld to see what happened, Redding said.
The SEC requested the opportunity to experiment with collaborative replay review, with ofcials
monitoring games from a command center away from the stadiums.

Both did well at their crafts.

rounds and realized he should have been at


Spyglass because its a pretty tough course.
Theres some strong holes on it, Rose
said. And I heard some strange reports about
Spyglass, like the first few holes are great,
then it disappears into the hills and its not
that good. Thats not what I saw. Thats a pretty stellar golf course to me and really enjoyed
playing it.
Timberlake played too the guitar.
He didnt contribute any shots to their proam score, but Rose said the highlight was on
the 16th tree when Timberlake grabbed a guitar for an impromptu performance, with
Alfonso Ribeiro chipping in.
That was a cool moment, Rose said. Not
many people saw it, because there was only
like 20 people back there. Thats obviously
when you really appreciate how someone can
grab a guitar, go a cappella and sound so awesome. You have a better appreciation. You see
him hit not maybe so many great golf shots,
but then you realize, Ah, thats pretty damn

special right there. So we all have our own


skill set.
Reavie enjoyed the pure weather almost as
much as he enjoyed watching putts go in. Golf
has been a grind for Reavie since he missed
nearly all of 2014 because of surgery on his
left wrist and had to return to the Web.com
Tour Finals last year just to get his PGA Tour
card back.
Even on days I putt well, I still dont make
as many putts as I made today, Reavie said.
Some of the biggest stars had to settle for
enjoying the weather.
Jordan Spieth, the No. 1 player in the world,
chipped poorly by his standards and three
times failed to get up-and-down for birdies on
the par 5s at Spyglass Hill. He opened with a
71, along with PGA champion Jason Day.
Dustin Johnson had a 70 at Spyglass, while
Bubba Watson had a 73. Patrick Reed had a 72.
All of them are among the top 10 in the
world and were at Spyglass with the celebrity
rotation.

A bit weak, Spieth said about his round. I


played the hardest holes on this golf course 4under par, and then I played all the easy ones
over par. Just kind of a bit odd. I just was not
quite dialed in with the wedges or short game.
But all in all, to actually shoot 1 under with
what I felt like I should have shot today is
promising, considering were going to the
two easier courses in my mind.

the possession game.


Despite their coachs plea to be more
patient, the Gryphons came out firing in the
second half. Aldridge let loose a couple of
long-distance shots that were easily saved,
but it set the tone for a half that saw the
Gryphons attempt 11 shots, seven of which
were on frame.
Three minutes into the second half,
Bosleys hard work resulted in the games
only goal. She received a pass inside the
Mercy penalty box and worked her way
across the top of the box, parallel to the
goal. Rochleu stepped up to try to stop
Bosley, but she kept her feet and found some
space.
Just as she started to turn to line up her
shot, she slipped, but at the same time managed to get a shot off, which slipped just
inside the post for the games only goal.
The Gryphons in general, and Duncanson
specifically, had several more golden scoring chances go by the board. Twice
Duncanson hit the frame the second of

which hit the post and appeared to go over


the goal line, but the Mercy goalkeeper
grabbed it and threw it back into the field of
play.
It appeared all the near-misses might
come back to haunt the Gryphons as the
Crusaders made one final push in the games
final minutes.
But thats when Crystal Springs sophomore goalkeeper Prisilla Sanchez made her
presence felt. In the 69th minute, Fellers
bid for a goal from 20 yards was pushed over
the top by Sanchez for her biggest save of
the season. She later punched clear a corner
kick cross and pushed yet another ball over
the top on a Mercy free kick.
All three saves were made in the final 11
minutes as Sanchez finished with 10 saves
on the day.
That was, by far, her best game. That was
a big game for her, Flynn said. She
stopped and made the saves she had to
make. In the past, that wasnt always the
case.

Despite winning the Skyline Division

League is the only league in CCS that does
not send its division winners to the postseason. Instead, Crystal Springs will have
to play the fourth-place team from the
WBALs Foothill Division, with the winner
of that game earning the leagues final automatic bid.
The Gryphons will host either Castilleja
or Kings Academy at 3:30 p.m. Thursday
for the leagues final CCS berth.
I fight it every year in the AD (athletic
director) meeting, Flynn said. If you win a
division championship, you should get the

That, however, is of little consequence

called champions.

bragging rights that are nice, Flynn said.

facility that will keep the Raiders here in
the city of Oakland. This is an NFL city.
Reid declined to discuss specific details
about the new lease with the Raiders, but
said it was much better than previous agreements between the two sides.
(It) is a much better lease agreement than
the one thats due to expire on Feb. 17,
Reid said. That shows the Raiders commitment to sit down and get a deal done.
The St. Louis Rams were approved to
move to Los Angeles in January, while the
San Diego Chargers have an option to join
the Rams at their yet-to-be-built stadium in
Inglewood.
If the Chargers opt to stay in San Diego,

the Raiders would then be given the chance


to move to Los Angeles where they played
from 1982-94.
Davis, who took over the Raiders after his
father Al Davis passed away in 2011, has
repeatedly stated a desire to keep his team in
Oakland while at the same time checking
out other potential sites. He has met with
officials from San Antonio on several occasions and recently was reportedly interested
in exploring Las Vegas as a possible place
to move the franchise.
If people are going to call you and offer
you things to look at, you have to look at
them, Davis said. But my heart is here in
Oakland and if we can get something done,
thats what Im trying to do.

The Raiders currently share the Coliseum


with the Oakland Athletics, who are also
seeking a new stadium of their own. As
owner Lew Wolff has stated his desire to
have a baseball-only stadium at the site
where the Coliseum currently sits. Davis,
however, has said he favors building two
stadiums one for football and one for
baseball.

J.B. Holmes also shot a 66 at Spyglass


Hill, while Phil Mickelson had a 68 while
playing with a different setup in his driver that
he regretted changing.
Like an idiot, I switched drivers,
Mickelson said.
He said his driver has weight ports that can
be adjusted to affect the spin rate and he didnt
think he was getting as much as he wanted last
week in Phoenix. So he made an adjustment
and hit some shots I didnt care for today.
So Ill go back to my other driver, he said.

To help in negotiations for getting a new


stadium built in Oakland, the Raiders hired
consulted Larry MacNeil and added him to
their stadium development team. MacNeil
previously spent 10 years as chief financial
officer for the San Francisco 49ers and was
instrumental in getting the $1.3 billion

Its the first, and arguably least controversial, set of amendments the public and

Daily Journal.
The two parties agreed to terms but the
final paperwork has not been signed,
Sganga said.
Wright, however, is due back in criminal
court April 4 facing felony charges of committing a lewd act upon a minor and continuous sexual molestation of a child under the
age of 14.
He allegedly threatened to hurt her family
if she ever told anyone what happened,
according to the civil complaint.
The criminal case is more important to
the victim, Sganga said about his client.
She is less concerned about how much
money is involved than she is about seeking justice, her lawyer said.
He suspects Wright may be pursuing a
plea deal in the criminal case since his
defense has yet to interview any witnesses,
Sganga said.
The civil complaint was filed nearly four
months before Wright, 47, was arrested
Aug. 7, 2015, at his work in Orinda. He is
the husband of former Belmont councilwoman Cathy Wright.
He allegedly molested the girl 15 to 20

between what we as property owners have
a right to do, and lets give some proper
balance to the needs of neighbors and lets
make sure the overall public good is met,
said Councilman Doug Kim, who previously reviewed the amendments as former
chair of the Planning Commission.
Kim said Belmont is not revolutionary
in creating a tiered review system and
many other communities already have
them in place.
Having just heard from several members
of the public on the Bay Areas wellknown affordable housing crisis Tuesday
night, some noted these changes are significant for growing families.

was 10 years old. The victim is now 26
years old and a college graduate.
The abuse would follow a similar pattern
each time where Wright would find one
excuse or another to be alone with the victim, according to the civil complaint.
Sometimes the excuse was to play with
new toys, other times it was that he wanted
to simply show her something, according
to the complaint.
Once they were alone, Wright would have
the victim lie down on a bed or couch and
would silently remove her clothes. He would
then proceed to fondle her genitals and digitally penetrate her, according to the complaint.
The alleged molestation happened in San
Francisco at the grandparents house and
then in Belmont, where Wright resided with
his wife and three children.
Wright would sometimes ask the victim
to touch herself. When she refused, he would
grab her hand and make her do it, according
to the complaint.
Wright never spoke during the alleged
molestations and never exposed himself or
made her touch him, according to the complaint.
Wright would molest the girl for 10 to 15
minutes until he thought that she had an
orgasm. He would quickly ask the victim if
she was done and quickly help her get
dressed, according to the complaint.

spoke about wanting to improve their outdated homes and commended the changes,
others expressed continued apprehension
about the impacts.
Charles Akers said hes concerned
Belmont will become a community of
McMansions and the city should instead
focus on allowing exemptions to the rules
instead of making wholesale rewrites.
Akers said many couldnt attend the community meeting and urged the council to
seek more public input.
Im afraid we may be headed to a repeat
of last year when so many citizens felt
they werent being heard, Akers said.
Others urged the council to proceed.
Belmont is finally embarking on an
important review of its code, a review to
ensure that if there are quantifiable goals
that are to be met by zoning in some way,
that theyre done in the least burdensome
way, said resident Tim Hoffman. I
applaud this first step, lets keep it
going.
Separate meetings will be held in the
2014. She believed that Wright meant he
would kill her family or otherwise find some
way to separate her from her family,
according to the complaint.
Braid Pezzaglia, Wrights attorney, confirmed Thursday that the civil case is settled. Attorney Mike Armstrong is handling
the criminal case, Pezzaglia said.
The lawsuit alleges the victim suffered
abuse, threats, mental trauma, fractured relationships, troubles with school and work,
embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, disgrace, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of
life and general depression and anxiety.
The victims parents are also plaintiffs in
the complaint.
They approached Belmont police last

As the council finalized details for the
single family design review process
Tuesday, there was a slight discord over
how many neighbors a property owner
must notify when they embark on a remodel, but the council decided those who live
within 150 feet of a tier two project should
be notified.
Ultimately, the council agreed to proceed with the amending the ordinance
that must be voted on during a second reading before going into effect and assured
residents theyd watch out for potential

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

STORIES: SELECTED WORKS BY


THE ORCHARD VALLEY CERAMIC
ARTS GUILD,
AT THE MAIN
GALLERY IN REDWOOD CITY. The
Main Gallery announces Stories, an exhibition of contemporary ceramic art by members of the Orchard Valley Ceramic Arts Guild
(OVCAG). Just as writers use words to tell
their stories, so do clay artists tell their stories through the heart and spirit of the fire.
Clay forms the medium used by ceramicists
to create works of art, but by utilizing a variety of construction and firing techniques, the
OVCAG artists have expanded their chosen
material. Included in the show are sculptures
by Nessy Barzilay, Liz Burkhouse, Eliane
Davidovich, Doris Fischer-Colbrie, Megan
George, Lisa La Rocca, Jeannie Llewellyn,
Jan Schachter, Miki Shim-Rutter, Ken Takara
and Susan Van Valkenburg.
FINDING
INSPIRATION:
THE
ARTISTS SPEAK. Inspired by time spent
in the garden tending to her succulents,
Nessy Barzilay created Turquoise Flower
Bowl for the exhibit. Barzilay builds her
pieces from paper clay, attaching each of the
leaves one-by-one to create delicate shapes
and forms. All of Liz Burkhouses Chikin
pieces are inspired by sayings or puns related to chickens. Upon spotting an old, ratty
chair by the side of the road, Burkhouse
snapped a photo and incorporated the chair
into her piece Just Fowl. She explains, The
words foul and faul (German) mean dirty,
slovenly, lazy and have the happy coincidence of being homophones with fowl. Add a
foul fowl, a cigar and beer and youve got
something thats just fowl. Eliane
Davidovich presents a sculptural piece suggesting a dream as a collection of experi-

Stories, at The Main Gallery in Redwood City from Feb. 24 through April 3, features works
from the Orchard Valley Ceramic Arts Guild. Among the pieces on display is Eliane Davidovichs

ences, wishful thinking, fantasies and emotions from different eras mixed together into
a new mysterious story hidden behind the
eyes of The Dreamer. Nature and the images
and feelings it conjures up have always been
of interest to Doris Fischer-Colbrie. The
Dianella Platter, named after the plant
pressed into the clay, is a reflection of
Fischer-Colbries connection with nature. I
use grasses and other plants to press into
clay and then add several layers of slip (wet
clay) stains and glazes to create the suggestion of these plants in the midst of winter.
Jan Schachter is constantly in search of the
perfect surface and ideal form while striving
to create pots that have life and vitality.
Schachter enjoys making pots for everyday
use, each piece a subtle variation of a form
usually created in a series. Schachters love
of firing in a wood kiln to take advantage of
the ash and heat can be seen in her functional ware: Casserole and Storage Jar, both in
a black oak wood ash glaze, and Covered
Bowl with a white satin glaze. Warrior
Teapot, by Miki Shim-Rutter, demonstrates
the delicate balance between physicality and
spirituality the balance that she strives
for in life. The teapot holds, seeps and pours
the tea, but the embrace of its warmth and
beauty is how we discover its real presence
much like the truth we hope to find in ourselves, said Shim-Rutter. In her sculptural
piece Giraffes No. 1 of her Vertical
Herds series, Susan Van Valkenburg
explores the idea of finding safety in conformity. The question is posed: The lion
cant tell where one zebra ends and the next
begins, and so does not know where to
attack. Each herd has one body with shared
markings, but their faces reveal individual
characters and moods. How much difference

development, according to video of the
meeting.
Im excited about the project, I like the
looks of it, he said. It is revitalizing an
area that has not been up to its potential.
The first phase of the construction project
is expected to take place at two adjacent lots
spanning 309-421 Airport Blvd., which
will be developed into 260 rental apartments spread between two identical sevenstory towers, located about half a block
north of Grand Avenue.
A parking garage for residents and guests,
as well as 12 townhouses, are slated to be
built in later construction phases. A Ford
auto dealership formerly anchored a majority of the property, but has sat vacant for
years.
Officials are hopeful the project will fold
seamlessly into the downtown plan
approved last year, which aims to build
more homes in transit-oriented developments near the new Caltrain platform set to
be extended closer to the citys commercial
district.
Ken Busch, senior vice president at Sares
Regis, said the project aims to fulfill the
vision set forth by the council.
We are really excited about the location,
he said. We anticipate our residents will use
the downtown as they live there.
Support for the project was not unanimous though, as some residents expressed
concerns regarding how such a substantial
development may clog the surrounding
streets with cars, and whether visitors to the
complex would consume the few remaining
available spaces in an area already starved
for parking.

COURTESY OF SARES REGIS

A rendering of a housing project, comprised of 260 apartments and 12 townhouses, approved


for construction in downtown South San Francisco.
An attorney hired to represent
Bertoluccis Ristorante, 421 Cypress Ave.,
said his clients fear traffic from the project
would pack the surrounding streets so full it
would harm business at the restaurant,
because patrons would have nowhere to
park.
Councilman Rich Garbarino noted though
there is a public parking garage located
roughly one city block away, and though
the development may compound an existing street parking problem, alternative
solutions exist nearby.
Mayor Mark Addiego added the landscaping proposed to be built into the project

might make the walk from the public parking garage to Bertoluccis more pleasant for
patrons, as Sares Regis has offered to pay
for millions of dollars worth of improvements to public amenities and infrastructure
surrounding the development.
In total, the developer has offered roughly
$6.2 million worth of community benefits
as part of the project, which includes a payment of more than $3 million to improve
parks and recreation facilities in South San
Francisco.
Agreeing to set aside any portion of the
rental development at a below-market rate
was not part of the community benefits

package, however, some residents had


expressed a desire to see the project contribute to the citys affordable housing
stock.
Addiego said officials are working to
develop affordable units through other residential projects, and noted the value of
building more market rate housing in the
effort of South San Francisco officials to
comprehensively address the regional housing crisis.
This is, in terms of the overall downtown plan, an important piece of the puzzle, he said.
Busch noted the proximity of the project
to the citys thriving hub of life science
companies, located just east of Highway
101, and said the units will be built in an
attractive fashion which is appealing to
tenants of an upscale community.
The rooms will feature chic amenities
such as kitchen islands, walk-in closets,
stone countertops and more, according to
the architect hired to design the apartment
buildings.
While the project plans illustrate a vision
of a deluxe community, officials said they
expect the developer to deliver on their
promise.
I need to know it is going to look like
the renderings, said Addiego. Because Ive
been disappointed so many times in the
past.
Should the project be built out as planned,
units would be inhabitable by early 2019.
In other business, the council unanimously approved joining the Peninsula Clean
Energy program during the meeting.
Residents swarmed council chambers with
questions regarding the initiative earlier
this month, which gave pause to some officials. But ultimately, the council opted to
grant residents the option to participate in

should they wish.

Doing Valentines
the right way with
fresh doughnuts
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Most everybody loves fresh, warm doughnuts. But most


everybody doesnt love the hassle of making those fresh,
warm doughnuts. Its a messy process that involves making a dough that can be temperamental. Who has time for
that on Valentines Day?
So weve created a method of making doughnuts that
takes the temperamental out of the equation. You start
with a dough well get to your choices in a moment
that you buy at the grocery store. Next, cut it and fry it.
Its way easier than it sounds, especially since you arent
fussing with making the dough. Now just top the doughnuts with something fun. You can even make it a project
you do with your partner. Or it can be a fun activity to do
with kids (the toppings, not the frying).

FRYING
To fry, fill a large, deep pot with 1 to 1 1/2 inches of
oil. Heat over medium-high until the oil reaches 350 F to
375 F. Adjust the heat to maintain this temperature. Place
a cooling rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set near
the pot of oil. When everything is ready, fry your doughnuts in batches of 3 to 4, being careful to not overcrowd
your pan. The doughnuts will take about 3 minutes per
side. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to carefully turn each
doughnut over, cooking until deep golden brown.
Transfer the finished doughnuts to the prepared rack to
drain. Repeat until youve used all your dough, allowing
the oil to return to the proper temperature between batches.

Staying home on Valentines Day


is easy with these tasty scallops

GLAZING

By Alison Ladman

Once the doughnuts are fried, its time to glaze them.


Simple vanilla glaze: Whisk together 1 cup powdered
sugar, 1 tablespoon milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Chocolate glaze: Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small
bowl in the microwave until simmering. Add 3/4 cup
chocolate chips and stir until completely melted.
Caramel glaze: Heat 1/4 cup heavy cream in a small
saucepan with 1 cup caramel candies over medium-low
heat, stirring until smooth and melted.
Peanut butter glaze: Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a
small bowl in the microwave until simmering. Add 1 cup
peanut butter chips and stir until completely melted.

TOPPINGS
While the glazes are still wet, sprinkle any of the following (or whatever inspires you) over them:
Capn Crunch cereal
Cocoa Pebbles cereal
Froot Loops cereal
Crumbled cooked bacon
Chopped dried banana chips
Toasted coconut flakes
Chopped, toasted nuts
Shaved chocolate
Slivered crystallized (candied) ginger
Chopped dried fruit
Candy sprinkles

SUGGESTED COMBINATIONS
The Elvis: peanut butter glaze, crumbled bacon,
banana chips
The Chocolate Bomb: chocolate glaze, Cocoa
Pebbles, shaved chocolate
The Turtle: caramel glaze, toasted pecans, shaved
chocolate
The Tropical: vanilla glaze, chopped dried pineapple,
crystallized ginger, toasted coconut
The Black Forest: chocolate glaze, dried cherries, drizzle with vanilla glaze

The beauty in this recipe which bathes scallops in a cream sauce and tops them with crispy panko breadcrumbs is that
its easily prepped up to 24 hours ahead, then refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This Valentines Day, take a pass on


the expected. As in, ditch the restaurant reservations. Youre just going to
get overcharged for so-so food, anyway.
Instead, stay home and show your
lover how much you care by assembling this simple but impressive
baked scallop dinner. The beauty is
that this recipe which bathes scallops in a cream sauce and tops them
with crispy panko breadcrumbs is
easily prepped up to 24 hours ahead,
then refrigerated until you are ready to
serve.
When you are ready for romance, just
heat the oven to 400 F and pop the
individual servings in for about 10
minutes. The result is impressive
enough that you wont miss the restau-

rant experience even a little. Just add


some crusty bread and a salad and
youll have a complete meal.

DEADPOOL
Continued from page 18
blowing up a skyscraper. Its just because
wise guy mercenary Wade Wilson
(Reynolds) agreed to lend his body to some
off-the-books scientific experiments in the
hopes that it might cure his cancer. It does,
and it gives him super healing powers, too,
but his good looks are the casualty.
Deadpool is essentially a revenge story
from a dude who is too vain to return to his
beautiful stripper girlfriend Vanessa
(Morena Baccarin) looking like a burn victim. So he hunts down the guy who transformed him in the first place, Ajax (Ed
Skrein), to fix his skin.
To be fair, Wade was pretty twisted before

his transformation into Deadpool, who


isnt so much an alter ego as he is Wade with
an even bigger chip on his shoulder. He
starts out obnoxious and stays obnoxious
the mask just allows him to abandon the
pretense of any social graces (including
paying cab drivers, apparently). For better
or worse, Reynolds wears the character well.
Its also odd that T. J. Miller, as
Deadpools friend Weasel, whose comedy is
in the universe of the Deadpool tone,
doesnt even manage to elevate the humor
past the nana nana boo boo variety.
The women arent much to celebrate,
either, although it was amusing to have an
actual adult relationship in a superhero film
as opposed to the chaste, teenage coyness
of so many others. But did Vanessa have to
be a stripper?

Warhead (an angsty good gal mutant) is

The violence is also carried out with such
smirking glee that it becomes a bit uncomfortable to watch but maybe its just more
honest than most superhero pics about what
its audience wants and isnt concerned with
the pretense of heroism to justify gratuitous
stabbings, slashings and shooting.
That said, there is a numbing aspect to
Deadpool too. About midway through, at
the point of aggravation when many may
have walked out in disgust, I submitted.

tives have expressed hopes that the new


amenities will be a draw for the surrounding neighborhoods, those residing in the new Bay Meadows development and commuters stopping off at the
Caltrain station across the street.
Its evolved greatly, said Tricia
Schimpp, a senior planner with the
city. Even though its not zoned transit-oriented development, it is across
the street from a transit station and
what theyre doing with the type of tenants that are dining, entertainment and
shopping, is more in keeping with the
TOD mixed uses that were promoting
in the city [as] it does encourage pedestrian-friendly kind of activities.
The proposal includes a central landscaped plaza surrounded by an underground fitness center, smaller retail
space Bohannon hopes will attract
more lifestyle brand stores, a
Cineopolis Cinema fronting El Camino
Real, and a bowling alley lounge.
Over the years the project has been
reviewed, several residents who live
near the shopping center expressed
concerns about traffic, noise and parking impacts related to the renovation.
Now, some members of the public
have suggested the site should incorporate residential units to help offset the
regions housing shortage and affordability crisis.
With Bohannon having already hired
architects, designed the project and
nearing the end of the planning phase;
incorporating housing is an unlikely

The Pacifica cliffs have been crumbling for decades, as aerial photographs from the California Coastal
Records Projects show.
The toll has been heavy in recent
years. In 2010, two apartment buildings undermined by previous storms
were evacuated and face demolition.
Last month, during El Nio storms,
residents of another apartment building and two homes were forced to move
out. Continuing erosion has left the
apartments sitting unsafely on the
edge of an 80-foot bluff.
Were not fearful of falling off.
Theyve been so diligent that they are
going to tell us if we are in any imminent danger, said Thompson, who
lives in an oceanfront apartment with
her wife, Karlie Thompson. The benefits of the beautiful spot, she said, outweigh the worry.
The paragliders, they are so close
you can almost high five them, she

move at this point, as it would start the


entire process over, Schimpp said.
Planning
Commissioner John
Ebneter, who voted against the proposal, said the city must consider the
impacts of adding new jobs without any
thought as to where these new workers
will live.
My biggest concern going into the
meeting was the creation of 852 new
jobs and without having any housing
associated with it. Coupled with the fact
that the vast majority of the jobs created are going to be paid less than a living wage, Ebneter said.
Concerned about the impacts more
traffic will have on the citys greenhouse gas emissions, Ebneter said he
questions whether the environmental
analysis of the project was accurate.
Another sticking point was Bohannon
doesnt plan to use a union general contractor, Ebneter said. So he said there
are no guarantees those who construct
the project will be paid prevailing
wages or able to live in the communities in which they build.
said, adding there was one in a Santa
suit over the holidays.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier and city officials have pledged to seek state and
federal assistance.
Still, many forced-out residents say
they feel abandoned, left alone to find
money for moving, storage lockers
and new housing in the pricey San
Francisco Bay Area.
Some of us tried squatting on the
first night and almost got arrested,
said Gordon King, a 73-year-old disabled Vietnam vet and former merchant
marine who lived in a cramped apartment with his wife Lana.
Weve been fighting time, he said
while packing their possessions.
The Red Cross gave them $250 but
local hotels go for nearly $200 a night
so they say theyll likely rely on
friends until they can find a new place
to plant roots.
Jeff Bowman is in a similar situation.
I have no job, nowhere to go, he
said. Now 55, he is unemployed after
being laid off from a job at a supermarket.
It should be my choice (to stay)

Even though the project has made it a


ways through the planning process,
Ebneter said the current housing crisis
must be considered when San Mateo
plans to create more jobs.
The bottom line is the project, to
me, should be evaluated with the information that we have today on the housing and labor disconnect, Ebneter
said.
Mayor Joe Goethals said he understands the city is in the midst of a dire
housing crisis but is keeping an open
mind on the project while looking forward to hearing Bohannons presentation.
Goethals and Schimpp said considering housing on the site would bring up
a whole range of other issues such as
traffic and parking that would need to be
studied. Ultimately, the majority of the
commission felt this commercial project is a good use of the site, Schimpp
said.
Goethals said he hopes Bohannon
maximizes sustainability efforts in
recreating this portion of the center.
The project will include some green
building technologies to meet LEED
Gold standards such as using graywater
to flush toilets and irrigate landscape,
solar panels to offset about 5 percent of
the sites electricity use and electric
vehicle charging stations, according to
a staff report.
Schimpp said there isnt yet a timeline for how long construction would
last should the council approve the
project after its March 7 hearing.

rather than being told, You gotta
go, he said, standing not far from the
cold pizza on the counter and crushed
beer cans in the garbage.
Bowman was paying $1, 200 a
month for his subsidized apartment,
far less than what places go for in San
Francisco or other parts of Pacifica.
Im just going to get rid of the rest
of this stuff, cash in these coins and
figure out the rest of my life, he said,
pointing to a water jug filled with
money.
Just four months before he was told
to leave, Michael McHenry, 41, an
addiction recovery coach, moved into
his one-bedroom oceanfront apartment.
Im going to keep fighting, he
said. I dont couch surf nor will I let
the city dump me in a homeless shelter
to get me to go away.
Standing outside his back door, he
looked over the ocean then to the
ground. See the depression starting to
form over there? Thats all going over
very soon.
He knew the apartment was someday
going to be deemed unsafe, but figured
he had more time.

Case Number: 126562
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Joel Warren Derish, Joel

administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.

9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable in California law.

Officials aim for


temporary Syria
truce in a week
By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MUNICH Diplomats trying


to secure a cease-fire for the civil
war in Syria fell short in organizing an immediate truce but agreed
to try to work out details and
implement a temporary cessation of hostilities in the coming
week.
Foreign ministers from the
International Syria Support Group
also sealed an agreement early
Friday to accelerate and expand
deliveries of humanitarian assistance to seven besieged Syrian
communities. Those deliveries are
to begin immediately after a
working group meets on the matter Friday in Geneva.
Speaking for the group, U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry
hailed the results but noted they
were commitments on paper.
The real test is whether or
not all the parties honor those
co mmi t men t s an d i mp l emen t

them, he said.
Kerry and Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov, who had
been pressing for a cease-fire to
begin March 1, said the U.S. and
Russia would co-chair both the
working group on humanitarian
aid as well as the group that will
try to deal with the modalities
of the temporary truce. However,
it was not clear if deep and festering differences between the U.S.
and Russia on these issues could
be overcome.
While humanitarian access is
critical to relieving the suffering
of millions of Syrians in the
short term, a durable and lasting
cease-fire will be required if
stalled negotiations between
Syrian President Bashar Assads
government and the opposition
are to resume on or before the
U.N.-set target date of Feb. 25.
The talks broke down last month
before they really started, due
largely to gains by Assads military with the heavy backing of

REUTERS

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Secretary of State John Kerry and U.N. Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de
Mistura, from left, arrive for a news conference after the International Syria Support Group meeting in Munich.
Russian airstrikes.
Russia had proposed the March
1 cease-fire, but the U.S. and others saw that as a ploy to give
Moscow and the Syrian army
three more weeks to try to crush
Western- and Arab-backed rebels.
The U.S. countered with demands
for an immediate stop to the
fighting. Both countries appeared
to have made concessions on that
front.
Despite the concession on
potential timing of the truce and
the agreement to set up the task
force, the U.S., Russia and others
remain far apart on which groups
should be eligible for it. The new
task force, which will include military officials, will take up a job
that was supposed to have been
settled months ago. At the
moment, only two groups the

Islamic State group and the alQaida-affiliated al-Nusra Front


are ineligible for the truce because
they are identified as terrorist
organizations by the United
Nations.
Russia, Syria and Iran argue that
other groups, notably some supported by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and
some other Arab states, should
not be eligible for the cease-fire,
and there was no sign Friday that
those differences had been
resolved.
Lavrov said the Russian air
campaign in support of Assads
military would continue against
terrorist groups.
Five years of conflict have
killed more than a quarter-million
people, created Europes biggest
refugee crisis since World War II
and allowed the Islamic State to

carve out its own territory across


parts of Syria and neighboring
Iraq.
As Kerry met with the Syria
group in Munich, U.S. Defense
Secretary Ash Carter was in
Brussels to rally fresh support for
the fight against the Islamic State
group in largely the same territory.
Carter said defense ministers
from more than two dozen countries gave a broad endorsement
of a refined U.S. plan for defeating the Islamic State. After a
meeting at NATO headquarters,
Carter told reporters that nearly
all participants either promised
new military commitments or said
their governments would consider
new contributions. He predicted
tangible gains in Iraq and Syria
by March.

Riot at prison in northern Mexico leaves 49 inmates dead


By Porfirio Ibarra
and Mark Stevenson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Soldiers walk near the Topo Chico prison in Monterrey, Mexico.

MONTERREY, Mexico A
brawl between rival drug gangs at
an overcrowded penitentiary in
northern Mexico turned into a riot
Thursday, leaving 49 inmates dead
and 12 injured in the countrys
deadliest prison melee in years.
No escapes were reported in the
clash at the Topo Chico prison in
Monterrey, said Nuevo Leon state
Gov. Jaime Rodriguez. The riot
took place on the eve of Pope
Francis arrival in Mexico, a visit
that is scheduled to include a trip
next week to another prison in the

border city of Ciudad Juarez.


Rodriguez said in the morning
that 52 people had died, but he
lowered that by three in the late
afternoon. The reason for the
changed death toll was not clear.
At a news conference the governor read a list of 40 names of confirmed victims, saying five of the
remaining bodies had been charred
by fire and four were yet to be positively identified. One of the
injured was in grave condition.
Terrified relatives gathered at
the prison gates, where officials
posted the names of the dead as
they became known.
Ayyy, my son is on the list!
63-year-old Maria Guadalupe

Ramirez screamed when she saw


the name of her son, Jose
Guadalupe Ramirez Quintero, 26,
before collapsing into the arms of
a daughter and human rights workers.
Ramirezs grief echoed the concerns of others whose loved ones
were tossed into Topo Chico
along with some of Mexicos
most hardened criminals, despite
being sentenced for minor offenses or even while they were still on
trial.
He had already gotten out. They
picked him up again just for drinking. ... There is injustice in this
prison, she said, shaking her
fists and sobbing.
