Gov. Jerry Brown released his 2015-16 state budget calling for $113 billion in proposed general fund spending,
up 1.4 percent from the year before.
HIGHER EDUCATION:
The University of California and California State
University systems would each receive a $120
million budget increase. But Brown rejects the
University of Californias demand for more money
to avert tuition hikes in favor of negotiations over
ways to cut costs. The budget increase is
contingent on tuition remaining flat. UC President
Janet Napolitano has said that amount, which is
$100 million less than she sought for next year, is
insufficient to accommodate the number of
qualified students seeking admission and to keep
faculty salaries competitive.
California State University Chancellor Timothy
White said Browns plan is $97 million less than is
needed for enrollment growth at the 23 CSU
campuses and to meet the governors goal of
increasing the number of students who complete
their degrees.

Key aspects of proposed budget

Brown earmarked an 8 percent increase for
Californias sprawling 112-campus community
college system, compared to the 4 percent he
provided for UC and CSU. Chancellor Brice Harris
called it Californias best community college
budget in years. He said it would create space for
an additional 45,000 more students and expand
counseling programs that put students on a path
to earning a certificate or transferring to a fouryear school.
EDUCATION:
The states general fund will increase about 5
percent from the current $107.4 billion budget,
with much of the increase earmarked for K-12
education and community colleges as required by
law. K-12 funding grows by more than $2,600 per

student in 2015-16 over 2011-12 levels.The budget

calls for speeding implementation of the new Local
Control Funding Formula that channels additional
money for schools with high levels of low-income
and English-language learners. It includes nearly
$4 billion more for the formula than projected,
allocating $50.7 billion in the fiscal year that begins
July 1.The $7.8 billion K-14 budget increase repays
districts $992 million in deferred funding and boosts
average expenditures to a projected $13,462 from
state, federal and local funds.The budget also calls
for $1.1 billion to implement Common Core, the
new math and reading benchmarks adopted by
much of the nation.
HEALTH CARE:
The governors budget includes more than $31

SACRAMENTO Ever mindful

that the next economic downturn
could be right around the corner,
Gov. Jerry Brown released a record
$113 billion California spending
plan on Friday that resists calls for
expanding social services and
instead dedicates billions for paying down debt and saving for a
rainy day.
We saw the boom and the bust,
and Im trying to avoid that,
Brown said in unveiling his new
budget proposal at the state
Capitol. He will work with lawmakers in the coming months to
pass a final version in June.
The
Democratic
governor
returned to office four years ago
amid multibillion-dollar deficits
that left California in fiscal turmoil. Brown convinced voters to

billion in general funds for health and human
services. California continues to implement federal
health care reform, including expanding MediCal, the states version of Medicaid, to more
low-income residents.The Medi-Cal caseload has
grown 50 percent in just a few years, from 7.9
million enrollees in 2012 to 12.2 million in 2015.
Brown said there are also uncertain costs that
could run into the hundreds of millions because
of President Barack Obamas executive order to
spare some immigrants from deportation.
Although the presidents action excludes
immigrants who came to the country illegally
from qualifying for federal health benefits,
California has a policy of using state money to
provide health coverage for low-income
immigrants with deferred-action status. As a result,

Homeschooling mentor offers advice

By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

If youve ever considering homeschooling your children, coach and mentor Diane
Flynn Keith might be able to offer some
assistance with her Art of Homeschooling
event.
Flynn Keith, who lives in Redwood City,
said the event will cover the basics, including finding out the legal ways to homeschool/unschool in California including
enrollment in public school/charter school
programs and establishing a private school.
It also covers where to find curriculum and
educational resources and opportunities
both traditional and unconventional for
all grades, ages, interests and ability levels.
Additionally, it will cover getting connected with other homeschoolers for socialization and support, along with tips for getting into college.
Flynn Keith began homeschooling her
second-grade son in 1991 and went on to
homeschool her second son after pulling
the first out of both public and private
schools.
It was a difficult time to homeschool,
she said. People were underground and worried children would be carried away by truant
officers. It was a really challenging time to
homeschool. I started a newsletter to try
to network with people and starting writing
a lot about homeschooling.
Now, shes mentored thousands of parents
on homeschooling.
I love liberating families from conventional schooling, Flynn Keith said. When
you have freedom of choice in education,
thats education. Kids resist schooling, not
education. If you just expose them to the
bounty of life, you can have great success in
helping them achieve their dreams.
This bounty of life can include field trips
to museums and other spaces, she said,
along with wonderful labs that one simply

cant have in a public or

private school. Parents
tend to worry their children wont get proper
socialization
when
theyre homeschooled,
but
debate
teams,
spelling bees and other
activities make up for
this, she said.
Diane

Flynn Keith
of time, she said.
Homeschooling is not for every parent
though, she stressed.
You have to be pretty fearless, she said.
You have to be researcher and have a sense
of humor. If youre an authoritarian parent,
it makes the homeschooling more difficult
overall.

Increased interest
The states newly enacted Common Core
standards focus more on technology in the
classroom and project-based learning.
Flynn Keith said more parents are coming
to homeschooling because of the new curriculum and that homeschoolers are not
changing their materials because of the
change.
People are tired of teaching to the test,
she said. Standardized curriculum, no matter what you call it, it is counterintuitive to
becoming a self-directed learner.
For this particular workshop, Flynn Keith
typically draws about 15 to 25 people, but
40 people have already signed up, she said.
That just is an indication there is way
more interest and this is midyear, she said.
People are becoming uncomfortable with
the academic requirements of the schools.
Some have had enough and withdrawn their
children.
Flynn Keith has been running the New
Year event since 1992.
I came to doing them in January because
people struggle with schooling from

September to December, she said. They

have a reprieve from school and are happier
(during winter break), wonder, What can I
do?

Family reunited with cameras, cash

Husband and wife left camera bag at SFO curb in May

A broken down truck and initiative by an

A husband and wife were managing their

A Good Samaritan saw the bag was unattended and brought it to the attention of airport staff who contacted the San Francisco

Police held the cameras for about two

to the Sheriffs Office in July. The cameras
continue to go unclaimed and serial numbers

In court, Congress, Obamas

resistance to pipeline tested
By Dina Cappiello
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a double blow, the

newly empowered Republican-led Congress
and the Nebraska Supreme Court on Friday
undercut President Barack Obamas opposition to the long Keystone XL oil pipeline.
But the White House, which issued a veto
threat earlier in the week, said its position
and posture remained unchanged, and environmentalists said Obama should kill what
would amount to a global warming disaster.
The House voted 266-153 to approve a
bill authorizing construction of the Canadato-Texas pipeline, with 28 Democrats joining majority Republicans in support. It was
one of the first pieces of legislation considered by the new, GOP-controlled Congress,
which has made approval of the pipeline a
top priority and has long been headed for a
confrontation with Obama on the issue.
The Republican cause was emboldened
Friday, when Nebraskas highest court
tossed out a lawsuit challenging the
pipelines route, an obstacle the White
House said must be removed before it could
decide whether the huge cross-border project
was in the national interest and the administration could proceed with its own review.
We shouldnt be debating it, we should be
building it, said House Majority Leader
Kevin McCarthy of California. On the
House floor, he read aloud a passage of the
administrations veto threat that objected to
authorizing the project despite uncertainty
due to ongoing litigation in Nebraska.
Senate
Majority
Leader
Mitch
McConnell, following the courts decision,

renewed his call for

Obama to reconsider his
promise to veto the measure.
Todays ruling provides the perfect opportunity for the president to
change his unproductive
posture on this jobs projBarack Obama ect and reverse his veto
threat, McConnell said.
The president now has every reason to sign
it.
But a White House spokesman said the
courts decision changed nothing.
Regardless of the Nebraska ruling today,
the House bill still conflicts with longstanding executive branch procedures
regarding the authority of the president and
prevents the thorough consideration of
complex issues that could bear on U.S.
national interests, and if presented to the
president, he will veto the bill, said deputy
press secretary Eric Schultz.
The House vote marked the 10th time the
chamber has voted on legislation to
advance the Keystone XL pipeline, an $8
billion project that would carry tar sands oil
from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries along a
proposed 1, 179-mile route through
Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas
and Oklahoma.
Strong as the vote was, it fell short of the
two-thirds majority that would be needed to
override a presidential veto. And the Senate,
though newly controlled by the
Republicans, is also likely to fall short of
that threshold. The Senate is expected to
clear a test vote on an identical bill on
Monday.

increase income taxes on the rich while cutting social programs, reducing education
funding and restructuring government.
Now Brown, who was sworn into his
fourth and final term this week, is determined not to spend all of Californias second
annual surplus. That restraint has created an
odd dynamic, with Republicans generally
pleased with his plan while welfare advocates and members of Browns own party
were disappointed he didnt do more for the
poor and to address income inequality.

higher reimbursement rates to doctors and providers who care
for Medi-Cal patients. Advocates say the current rates are among
the lowest in the nation, making it hard for patents to access
care. The Brown administration is also proposing a new
managed-care tax on health plans to raise $1 billion annually.
Some of the money will be used to restore a 7 percent acrossthe-board cut to the In-Home Supportive Services program.
DEBT REDUCTION:
The budget proposes making a $1.2 billion deposit into the
states rainy day fund, bringing the cushion against future

While we are disappointed the governor
did not include sufficient revenue to expand
enrollment of California students and reinvest in academic quality at the university, we
are hopeful that continued discussions with
the governor and the legislature will yield a
budget that maintains the access, affordability and excellence for which the University
of California is renowned, UC President
Janet Napolitano said in a response Friday.
Browns budget includes a $1.2 billion
deposit into the rainy day fund and a $1.2
billion debt payment. He wants to pay off
debt accrued during the recession, including
making the final payments on a $15 billion
bond that was championed a decade ago by
then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to close
the states deficit.
By law, Brown must use much of the revenue growth on K-12 education and community colleges.
As a result, the governor chose not to propose many new programs and instead
focused on covering growing costs to exist-

ing programs. Its precariously balanced,

and its going to get even more challenging
as we get down the road, Brown said.
Health care for the poor is one major cost
pressure. About 4 million more people are
enrolled in the states low-income health
care plan, Medi-Cal, as compared with
2012.
The Brown administration pointed out that
President Barack Obamas executive order to
spare some immigrants from deportation
will enable hundreds of thousands of lowincome immigrants in California to apply
for the states version of Medicaid. While
the presidents action excludes immigrants
who came to the country illegally from qualifying for federal health benefits, California
has a policy of using state money to provide
health coverage for low-income immigrants
with deferred-action status.
Brown also wants to bargain with labor
unions to begin addressing the states
unfunded liability for retiree health care benefits, currently estimated at $72 billion.
Republicans, whose votes are not needed
to pass a budget, applauded the governors
plan.
Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, R-

Diamond Bar, said he shared the governors

concerns about building up the rainy day
fund and paying off debt. There is a lot to
like about this budget, Huff said.
But Assemblywoman Nora Campos, D-San
Jose, said, With revenues up, I believe we
must begin to re-focus on helping families
and individuals who have been left behind in
Californias recovery.
Brown pushed back on such criticism of
not doing more, noting that about a third of
the budget is dedicated to serving the poor
through child care, health care and other programs.
We do the best we can, he said.
It may be harder for Brown to fend off new
spending proposals as he did last year.
Democrats have already put forth proposals
to expand health care to all regardless of
their immigration status and to expand the
states sales tax to services, and not just tangible goods.
The governor questioned if it was politically feasible.
If you tell people now that their Pilates
takes an 8.5 percent sales tax, they may not
be as yoga happy as they were before, he
said.

water to poor communities. The governor proposes to start

work on $1.1 billion in projects to defend California from flooding
even before the budget is approved. The state will provide $6
million to help local communities draft groundwater plans, in
addition to $21 million from water bond grants.
CLIMATE CHANGE:
The budget provides a glimpse of how California will achieve
the more aggressive climate-change goals that Brown outlined
in his inauguration speech. The state would spend $1 billion
from the states three-year-old cap-and-trade program on efforts
to combat global warming. The money comes from a program
that imposes extra costs on businesses that emit pollutants, and
this year was expanded to include companies that produce
gasoline and other fuels. Money would go to low-carbon
transportation, for projects that link affordable housing to
transportation hubs, energy efficiency, urban forests and to fund
construction of the $68 billion bullet train that will run through
the Central Valley. Brown broke ground for the high-speed rail
project earlier this week. The governor plans to work with the
Legislature, environmental groups, business interests and others
to develop a plan to further slash greenhouse-gas emissions
by 2030.
TRANSPORTATION:
Browns budget offers scant detail on how he plans to address
$59 billion in needed repairs of the states crumbling roads,
highways and bridges. Browns long-term push to reduce
gasoline consumption and encourage electric cars is drying up
money for infrastructure maintenance from the state gas tax. He
says he will seek solutions by negotiating with lawmakers from
both political parties. He would need Republican support for
new taxes or fees, which require two-thirds support to pass the
state Legislature. Republicans have been pushing to redirect

money from his $68 billion bullet train project to more pressing
transportation needs, while Browns budget suggests he could
attempt to increase commercial weight fees and local
government funding.
RETIREE HEALTH CARE:
Brown plans to pressure state employee labor unions to help
reduce the states unfunded liability for retiree health care
benefits, currently estimated at $72 billion. He says the cost is
unsustainable, growing from $458 million in 2001 to $1.9 billion
now and absorbing a growing portion of the general fund.
Without changes, the states unfunded liability is projected to
grow to $300 billion by 2047-48. Brown proposes that the state
and its employees share equally in paying now for future retiree
health benefits so that investment returns will help make up
the difference. Brown says that will save nearly $200 billion over
50 years, eliminating the unfunded liability by 2044-45.
COURTS:
Brown continues to try to make up for about $1 billion in cuts
during the recession that led to layoffs and the closure of
courtrooms and courthouses.The proposed $3.7 billion budget
includes $180 million in additional spending, with most going
to trial courts. It includes $27 million to handle an expected
surge of cases because of the passage of Proposition 47, which
allows felons who committed some nonviolent drug and theft
crimes to have their convictions reduced to misdemeanors.The
budget proposes reviving a debt amnesty program to give
traffic ticket scofflaws a 50 percent break if they pay delinquent
fines; the program would be funded with revenues from the
paid-off tickets. It would allocate $5 million less to the Judicial
Council, the policymaking body that oversees court
administration, which was criticized by the state auditor this
week for questionable spending and inflated salaries.

PRISONS:
The budget includes nearly $36 million to open cells for 2,376
additional inmates as the state struggles to meet a February
2016 federal court deadline for reducing inmate crowding. It
also calls for expanding death row by 97 inmates. Another $52
million goes for better care of mentally ill inmates in response
to a years long federal lawsuit, while the state is adding 93 parole
agents to help reduce caseloads. About $20 million is saved
because voters approved Proposition 47, reducing penalties for
those charged with lower-level drug and property offenses, and
because the courts reduced penalties for certain career criminals.
The budget increases overall corrections spending by nearly 2
percent, to $12.7 billion, including funding for counties costs
and $1.8 billion for the federal receiver who controls prison
medical care. The budget for the Department of Corrections
and Rehabilitation increases $160 million, to $10.3 billion.
STATE PARKS:
State parks would get $20 million for deferred maintenance and
another nearly $17 million increase to continue existing service
levels. Elizabeth Goldstein, president of California State Parks
Foundation, said in a statement that the era of state park
closures seems to be behind us. She calls the $20 million in
maintenance funds a pittance compared to a backlog estimated
at more than $1.3 billion, but noted that Browns $40 million
proposal last year was never approved. The $16.8 million in
additional operations funding will not be enough to restore
visitor services, hours of availability and park amenities that
were cut during the recession. However, another $1.2 million
will go to open the new Los Angeles State Historic Park next fall
in downtown Los Angeles and more than $400,000 to open a
new Donner Memorial State Park Interpretive Visitor Center
near Interstate 80 at Truckee.

French security forces kill House GOP takesNews
broad aim
gunmen, end terror rampage at Obama immigration policies

WASHINGTON House Republicans announced plans

Friday to take broad aim at President Barack Obamas immigration policies and eliminate protections for immigrants
brought illegally to this country as kids.
The legislation to be voted on next week satisfies
demands from the most conservative lawmakers and goes
further than the approach initially discussed by some House
Republicans. That approach would have targeted only the
executive actions Obama announced in November that provided deportation protections for millions of immigrants in
the country illegally.
Conservatives in the GOP caucus pressed leadership to go
further and also shut down a 2012 program that has granted
work permits to more than 600,000 immigrants brought
here illegally as kids. Ending the program would eventually
expose those young people to deportation. Other changes
would undo Obama directives to immigration agents aimed
at limiting deportations of people with no significant criminal record.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS With explosions and gunfire, security forces Friday ended three
days of terror around Paris, killing the
two al-Qaida-linked brothers who
staged a murderous rampage at a satirical newspaper and an accomplice who
seized hostages at a kosher supermarket
to try to help the brothers escape.
The worst terrorist violence France
has seen in decades killed at least 20
people, including the three gunmen. A
fourth suspect the common law wife
of the market attacker was still at
large and believed to be armed.
Al-Qaidas branch in Yemen said it
directed the attack against the publication Charlie Hebdo to avenge the honor
of the Prophet Muhammad, a frequent
target of the weeklys satire.
The brothers were not unknown to
authorities: One had a terrorism-related
conviction for ties to a network sending fighters to battle American forces
in Iraq, and both were on the U.S. nofly list, according to a U.S. official.
President Francois Hollande urged his
nation to remain united and vigilant,
and the city shut down a famed Jewish
neighborhood amid fears of more violence.
The threats facing France are not finished, Hollande said. We are a free
people who cave to no pressure.
The drama, which played out on live
TV and social media, began with the
brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi
methodically massacring 12 people
Wednesday at the Charlie Hebdo
offices, stopping to shoot a wounded
police officer in the head before escaping by car.

freed amid evidence dispute

A still image from video shows an explosion lighting the front of a kosher
SAN FRANCISCO A Northern California man described
supermarket as French police special forces launch their assault, where several
by federal officials as an anarchist and eco-terrorist intent
people were taken hostage near the Porte de Vincennes in eastern Paris.
On Thursday, a gunman police identified as Amedy Coulibaly shot a policewoman to death south of Paris,
although authorities were not sure at
first if it was related to the Charlie
Hebdo shootings.
It all ended at dusk Friday with nearsimultaneous raids in two locations: a
printing plant in the town of
Dammartin-en-Goele, northeast of
Paris, where the Kouachis were holed
up, and the Paris supermarket where
Coulibaly killed four hostages and
threatened more violence unless the
police let the Kouachis go.
As scores of black-clad security
forces surrounded both sites, booming
explosions, heavy gunfire and dense
smoke heralded the news that the twin
sieges finally had ended.

The three gunmen were dead but the

authorities also discovered four dead
hostages at the market. Sixteen
hostages were freed, one from the printing plant and 15 others from the store.
The attackers had ties both to each
other and to terrorist activities that
reached back years and extended from
Paris to al-Qaida in Yemen. They epitomized Western authorities greatest fear:
Islamic radicals who trained abroad and
came home to stage attacks.
After the killings at the Charlie
Hebdo offices, Cherif Kouachi, 32, and
his 34-year-old brother Said led police
on a chase around northeastern France,
robbing a gas station and stealing a car
before ending up at the printing plant

de Gaulle airport.

Nineteen measles cases

reported with ties to Disney theme parks

Backyard massage
therapist pleads not
guilty to sex crime charges

Local briefs

A 66-year-old man pleaded not

guilty Thursday afternoon to a laundry
list
of
sexual
charges stemming
from an unregulated, low-cost massage business for
women he was
reportedly operating out of a backyard shed in East
Palo Alto.
Bernadino Valle Police
said
Bernadino Rosas Valle told his victims that he had 30 years of experience and his massages could treat a
variety of ailments from minor aches
and pains to fertility issues.
Valle stands accused of 10 counts of
sexual battery, three counts of sexual
penetration on an unconscious victim, and one count of false imprisonment by force or violence.
Prosecutors said one victim came
forward after Valle fondled her breasts
and tried to touch her genitals before
she exited the shed.
After police arrested Valle on Sept.
3 and issued a statement, 21 other victims reportedly came forward.

However only 10 of them were

assaulted within the statute of limitations, prosecutors said.
Valles preliminary hearing has
been set for Feb. 27 at 9 a.m. He is in
custody on $300,000 bail.

A similar incident was reported at
the same location today at 2:19 p.m.
with a suspect matching the same
description.
Police detained Gallagher, who was
positively identified by both victims, and booked him into jail.

A landscaping crew ruptured a halfinch residential gas line in a residential Redwood City neighborhood
Friday morning, a PG&E spokesman
said.
The leak in the 400 block of Upland
Road was caused by a landscaping
crew that was digging in the yard. It
was reported at 10:13 a.m.
PG&E spokesman Jason King said
the flow of gas was stopped at 11:05
a.m. Only one customer was impacted.
King also used the incident as an
opportunity to stress the importance
of calling 811 before digging to
avoid damaging utility lines.
This highlights the importance of
calling 811 before any digging project, no matter how large or small,
King said.
The landscapers did not call 811
before getting started, King said.

Weekend Jan. 10-11, 2015

The governor and high-speed rail

Other voices

The Fresno Bee

resno and other San Joaquin

Valley communities are lucky
to have Gov. Jerry Brown on
their side and batting cleanup in the
effort to build Californias rst-inthe-nation high-speed rail system.
Absent Browns leadership and mastery of political jiu-jitsu, high-speed
rail opponents might have derailed
the $68 billion project by now and
wiped out our vision of what the system could do to lift our economy and
clean our air.
As Brown noted at Tuesdays ceremonial groundbreaking of the bullettrain project in downtown Fresno, he
was once a high-speed rail critic. But
the more he learned, the more he
became enthused.
And since Brown took ofce in his
second stint as governor in 2011, he
has brought order and credibility to an
effort that got off to a rocky start after
voters approved a $9.9 billion bond
act in 2008.
Well known for being frugal in his
personal life and tight with taxpayer
dollars, Brown took on project critics
during his remarks. High-speed rail
opponents are pusillanimous

meaning they lack the courage and

determination to see the project completed.
As to unanswered questions about
raising sufcient money, including an
estimated one-third of system costs
from private investors, Brown said:
Where the hell are we going to get
the rest of the money? To hell with it.
Well get it.
Brown already has shown that he is
pretty good at getting it: In June, he
worked out a compromise with the
Legislature that allocated $250 million to high-speed rail in this scal
year and 25 percent of cap-and-trade
revenue in following years.
We realize that high-speed rail has
many hurdles to clear before the San
Francisco-to-Los Angeles system
would be completed in 2028 or
later and that the nal price likely
will be higher than $68 billion.
But this is the nature of big public
infrastructure projects. Highways,
dams, airports and bridges often come
in late and over budget; that doesnt
mean we stop building them when and
where they are needed. It does mean,

however, that we double check plans

and pay attention to the details.
We could better accept the largely
Republican opposition to high-speed
rail in California if the critics were
intent on improving the system. The
evidence is that their obstruction is
almost entirely for political purposes.
Until President Barack Obama took
ofce, Republicans championed highspeed rail; now theyre against it
including Valley Republicans whose
districts are in desperate need of the
jobs, investment and connectivity to
other California regions that the system would bring.
One of the saddest sights is
Assembly Member Jim Pattersons
attempts to kill high-speed rail. We
remember when he was a passionate
spokesman for Fresno and its future.
He has been reduced to selling fear of
the system to score political points
when he should be helping Fresno
land the high-speed rail maintenance
facility that will be awarded this year.
Fortunately, Brown has our back.
He knows what will lift up Fresno and
the Valley. Of equal importance: He
has the savvy to outmaneuver scores
of pusillanimous GOP naysayers
standing in high-speed rails way.

Essential renter protections
Editor,
The city of Burlingame may be
leaning away from rent control
measures but the renters in
Burlingame are certainly not (City
looking at housing options:
Burlingame leaning away from rent
control measures in the Jan. 7 edition of the Daily Journal).
Rent stabilization is an absolute
necessity. Just imagine if homeowners were experiencing the same
housing insecurity as renters take
away Proposition 13 and mortgage
interest deductions, and you can
imagine the outcry and displacement. Those homeowner protections
keep people in their communities.
Renters have nothing to protect
them. At the housing study session held Monday, Jan. 5,
Burlingame Advocates for Renter
Protections did not ask the city to
consider rent stabilization because
they know that the current antirenter ordinance known as Measure
T must be overturned via a ballot
initiative. Instead, we asked that the

Protection Ordinance, plus outreach
measures by the city to renters.
Instead, Vice Mayor Ann Keighran
chose to use the session to espouse
her views on rent stabilization. She
let renters know, loud and clear, that
she is only interested in protecting
landlords, Realtors and developers,
and wants the market alone to determine what happens to middle- and
low-income people in Burlingame,
including seniors and those with
disabilities. We were never given an
opportunity to dispute her assertions because of the dynamics of the
session.
Despite this difficult first session,
we look forward to continue working
with the council on essential renter
protections.

America that is evil and immoral.

That something is a privatized
health care system. I ask the reader
one question: do you think that a
person, be they five years old or 85,
should receive medical care only if
they can afford to pay for it? I mean
does anyone believe that organizations like Kaiser or Sutter Health
should be becoming rich from the
misfortune of an individual who is
sick or in pain? I certainly do not.
In fact, it would be more fair if the
public school system was charging
us to educate our children. How could
one look at ones self in the mirror
and know that they made a poor old
man who was suffering, and in pain,
pay them before they did anything
to help him? That a persons care
was based on how much money they
could pay? In fact, it even violates
the Hippocratic oath that a doctor
makes upon becoming a doctor that
says he is to care for anyone who is
sick or in need of medical attention.

Having the courage to

see what others cannot

or many of us, life ends well before the day we

die. According to the Center for Biotechnology
Information, one of our most common regrets
before meeting our final resting place is that we have
allowed our doubts and fears to blind us to our greatest
dreams and visions. Instead of expending our short lives
in the fearless pursuit of our dreams, we are often limited
by our perception of how others may perceive our
dreams. As such, we become content with merely existing, and not necessarily living. Of course, it is not easy
to have the courage to see a vision for which others may
be blind.
One of my favorite biblical
scriptures describing this phenomena is in the book of John
9:39. This chapter tells the
story of how Jesus healed a
blind man amongst many
doubtful bystanders. The blind
man believed in his ability to
be healed, while bystanders
deemed the blind mans healing an utter impossibility.
Upon his healing, Jesus said
that he had come so that the
blind may see and those who
Jonathan Madison
see may become blind. In
essence, Jesus enabled the blind man to experience his
lifelong dream to see the world around him. In the
process, the once doubtful bystanders were theoretically
blinded, or shocked by the sight of the blind mans
healing.
A majority of the movements and achievements
throughout history has often begun with a lone vision
for which others are blind, just as the bystanders who
were astonished by the blind mans healing. There were
many who called Susan B. Anthonys dream of women
having an equal right to vote in elections as naive,
yet this dream was turned into a reality with the passage
of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. The Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr.s famous sentiments about his
dream of a post-racial society is a dream that we have
yet to actually see, but one that has achieved real
progress, and remains very much alive today. There are
countless others throughout history who have dared to
believe and see what others could not, some of which
include the Wright brothers, Mohandas Gandhi, Amelia
Earhart, etc.
It is equally important to have the courage to see what
others cannot for our country. I learned this campaigning last year in my race for state Assembly in San Mateo
County as I scrambled to knock on as many doors as
possible before the June 3 election. Huffing, puffing
and profusely sweating, I had knocked on about 300
doors by the time I reached downtown Burlingame. As I
approached the last marked address on my campaign
flier distribution list for that day, I could see that in the
front yard, a father was playing catch with his son, who
could not have been more than 6.
I explained to the father that I was running for state
Assembly and handed him a flier. He stood there as if to
compare the flier with the person he saw in front of
him. Then, his son approached me. Running kinda
slow, dont you think, uttered the young boy. The
boys father and I chuckled at his sons statement.
Slightly embarrassed, his father explained to his son
that I was not literally running the streets of the neighborhood, but for an elected office.
The young boy replied, Oh. I dont think the politicians help us. Mommy says they cant fix problems
because they argue too much. Before I could say anything, his father gently picked him up and said in a
commanding tone, We still vote in this house. There is
always hope for things to get better here and in the
country, OK? The son nodded his head with a smile.
Good luck in your race, the man shouted. I gave his 6year-old another flier, thanked his father and continued
on.
That was a defining moment for me. The experience
reminded me that in spite of bleak times within our personal lives be it living paycheck to paycheck or
struggling to make ends meet for ones family our
capacity to see a better day for ourselves and for our
country is still alive and strong.
As we move forward into 2015, let us together have
the courage to see what others cannot for our state and
country a brighter future. In short, the day we become
blind to a vision of a better future for our country and
for ourselves is the day we allow our fears to prevent us
from exercising our greatest virtue hope.

A turbulent week of trading ended

Friday with U. S. stocks finishing
lower for the third time in five days.
The decline followed two days of big
gains and nudged major indexes lower
for the year.
A slide in oil prices deepened, stoking concerns about global economic
growth. Energy stocks tumbled,
extending their losses for the year.
Investors also were discouraged by a
report showing that average U. S.
hourly pay declined in December,
despite another strong increase in hiring.
We finally got the jobs growing,
said Erik Davidson, chief investment
officer of Wells Fargo Private Bank.
Now people are looking through that
at the actual wage growth numbers and
they want to see improvement on
wages, which obviously would spur
demand and consumer confidence.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
shed 17.33 points, or 0.8 percent, to
2,044.81. The index is now down 0.7
percent for the year.
The Dow Jones industrial average
slid 170.50 points, or about 1 percent,
to 17,737.37. The Dow has fallen 0.5
percent this year.
The Nasdaq composite lost 32.12
points, or 0.7 percent, to 4,704.07.

Its down 0.7 percent this year.

After a long period of relative calm,
stock markets have become more
volatile as investors grapple with
slowing global growth and slumping
oil prices. A gauge of investor anxiety,
the
Chicago
Board
Options
Exchanges volatility index, or VIX,
rose 3 percent to 17.5 on Friday, up
from 12 a month ago.
Its going to be a volatile year, but
I think if you remain a long-term
investor ... and you push out this
volatility and you focus on the trends,
I think (the stock market) is going to
have a pretty good year, said Robert
Pavlik, chief market strategist at
Banyan Partners.
A combination of positive U.S. economic news, hopes for stimulus from
Europes central bank and renewed
confidence that the Federal Reserve
will keep supporting the economy
helped push stocks higher in the middle of the week after a tough start to the
year.
But by Friday, the jobs data and a
renewed decline in oil prices put
traders in a selling mood once again.
U.S. crude fell 43 cents, or 0.9 percent, to close at $48.36 a barrel in
New York on further evidence that
OPEC will not cut production in an
effort to support prices. In London,
Brent crude fell 85 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $50.11 a barrel, setting a

new five and a half-year low.

The price of oil has fallen by more
than half since June as traders anticipate a glut of supply caused by
increased production. The slide also
has stoked concern about the already
troubled state of economies overseas.
Is it a canary in the coal mine for
bigger global economic concerns?
Davidson said. Is oil telling us something about the future of the global
economy?
The latest U.S. jobs data also gave
some investors reason for concern.
The government reported that
employers added 252, 000 jobs in
December, slightly more than economists expected. The government also
noted that more jobs were added in
October and November than it had previously estimated.
Still, average hourly pay slipped 5
cents in December. And the unemployment rate fell to 5.6 percent from 5.8
percent in part because many of the
jobless gave up looking for work and
were no longer counted as unemployed.
Among individual stocks, Avon
Products declined the most among
companies in the S&P 500. The stock
shed 66 cents, or 7. 5 percent, to
$8.17. Its down 13 percent this year.
All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 fell.
Financial stocks were the biggest losers on the day.

Streak of solid hiring bolsters confidence about 2015

By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A healthy month of hiring in December capped the best year for
U.S. job growth since 1999, demonstrating
that employers are more confident than
theyve been since the Great Recession
began.
Nearly 3 million jobs were added in 2014,
and continued solid hiring is expected to
propel the economy this year to its fastest
growth in a decade. The gains are putting further distance between the strengthening
American economy and struggling nations
overseas.
Last year was a truly breakout year for the
labor market, said James Marple, an economist at TD Securities. Businesses are
increasingly looking to hire.

Fridays report from the Labor Department

showed that employers added 252,000 jobs
in December and 50,000 more in October
and November combined than the government had previously estimated. The unemployment rate dropped to 5.6 percent from
5.8 percent in November. The rate is now at
its lowest point since 2008.
The governments report did point to
some weaknesses, notably in Americans
paychecks, which have barely kept ahead of
inflation during the 5 1/2-year recovery. In
December, average hourly pay actually fell.
The continued listless performance of
hourly earnings is an ongoing frustration,
said Richard Moody, an economist at
Regions Financial.
And one reason the unemployment rate
fell last month had nothing to do with more
hiring: Many of the jobless gave up looking for work and so were no longer counted

as unemployed.
Still, while Decembers hiring did not
match Novembers huge 353,000 gain, job
growth in the final three months of 2014
averaged a robust 289,000. That was up
sharply from the 239,000 average for the
third quarter of 2014.
The unemployment rate is now near the
5.2 percent to 5.5 percent range that the
Federal Reserve considers consistent with a
healthy economy one reason the Fed has
been expected to raise interest rates from
record lows by midyear.
Yet for now, the plummeting oil prices and
weak pay growth are helping keep inflation
even lower than the Feds 2 percent target
rate. Many economists think inflation may
fail to reach even 1 percent this year. A result
is that the Fed could feel pressure to avoid
raising rates anytime soon.
There is still room for stimulus without

having to worry about inflation taking off,

said Michael Strain, an economist at the
American Enterprise Institute.
Most economists forecast that the U.S.
economy will expand more than 3 percent
this year. If it does, 2015 would mark the
first time in a decade that growth has reached
that level for a calendar year.
In December, hiring was widespread
across most industries. Construction firms
added 48,000 jobs, the most since January.
Manufacturers gained 17,000, restaurants
and bars 44,000.
One industry where hiring slowed in
December was retailing, which cut back after
having staffed up in November for the holiday shopping season.
Overall, American businesses have been
largely shrugging off economic weakness
overseas and continuing to hire at solid
rates.

U.S. did not hack back against North Korea

By Ted Bridis and Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The U.S. government was not responsible for sustained electronic attacks that crippled
North Koreas Internet infrastructure
last month, just after President
Barack Obama promised that his
administration would respond to the
hacker break-in at Sony Pictures
Entertainment Inc., two senior U.S.
officials told the Associated Press.
The Obama administration has been
deliberately coy about whether it
caused North Koreas outage, which

affected all the nations Internet connections starting the weekend of Dec.
20. But the two officials, speaking on
condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to openly discuss
the issue, acknowledged to the AP that
it was not a U.S. operation.
It was not immediately clear even
within the administration whether
rogue hackers or other governments
disrupted North Koreas networks.
The networks are not considered
especially robust since they rely on a
single provider, China United
Network Communications Group Co.
Ltd. , the state-owned provider in

neighboring China. North Koreas

service was sporadic starting
Saturday, Dec. 20, then collapsed
entirely for nearly 10 hours two days
later in what has remained an enduring whodunit.
It looks more like the result of an
infrastructure attack than an infrastructure failure, said James Cowie,
chief scientist at Dynamic Network
Services Inc. of Manchester, New
Hampshire, who studied the outages.
Theres nothing you can point to
that says it has all the hallmarks of
an attack by a nation state. It could
have been anybody.

Federal Reserve paid government record $98.7 billion in 2014

By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Federal

Reserve announced Friday that it
paid the federal government a record
$98. 7 billion in 2014, a payment
that reflects the central banks earnings from holdings of Treasury
bonds and mortgage-backed securities purchased to keep long-term
interest rates low to boost the economy.

The 2014 payment is up 24 percent

from a 2013 payment of $79. 6 billion and is higher than the previous
record of $88. 4 billion paid in 2012.
The Fed is funded from interest
earned on its portfolio of securities.
After covering its expenses, the Fed
pays the remaining amount to the
Treasury Department. Those payments have surged in recent years,
reflecting three rounds of bond purchases the Fed made to lower interest
rates and boost economic growth fol-

lowing the Great Recession.

Fed payments averaged $28. 4 billion in the three years before 2008,
but since then the Feds bond purchases have increased its balance
sheet to nearly $4. 5 trillion, a fourfold increase since the financial crisis hit.
In October, the Fed ended its third
round of bond purchases but
announced it would maintain its current level of holdings by re-investing the bonds when they mature.

Vikings hand Hillsdale first loss of the season

the outcome of the Peninsula Athletic

League Ocean Division. So, when his team
jumped out to an early lead, it changed the
on-field intensity of his players, and not for
the better, he said.
The first 20 minutes they came to play.
Then they were shocked when they went up
2-0, Dillie said. When they went up 2-0,
they decided to drop into a defensive shell.
Mills swung the advantage in the 15th
minute when Jang scored on a corner kick.
Vince De Araujo booted the ball into traffic
and Jang converted on a header to put Mills
up 1-0.

It was a set piece, Mills senior Paul

Fernandez said. It was on a corner. Vince
was the one who kicked the ball from the
corner. It was a perfectly-placed ball. Jun
just went up and got a great header.
In the 29th minute, Jun added a second
goal from just outside the penalty box on a
left-footed shot to convert a clean shot.
With over 10 minutes remaining in the
half and their downhill advantage the

The challenge of playing on Mills soccer

field is the west-to-east downhill slope of
the pitch.
The Vikings (2-0 in PAL Ocean, 2-2-2
overall) exploited this distinct home-field
advantage Friday with a 2-1 victory over
Hillsdale, marking the Knights first loss of
the season.
Senior Jun Jang scored both goals for
Mills, both while taking advantage of the
downhill incline in the first half. Hillsdale

(1-1, 9-1-1) got some momentum in the second half when John Cole converted a penalty kick. But even though the Knights dominated time of possession throughout the
final 40 minutes, the Vikings defense was
able to hold off the onslaught for the win.
Actually, we were supposed to score more
in the second half, Hillsdale head coach
Andy Hodzic said. We dominated the second half.
Mills head coach Craig Dillie agreed. In

Despite helping his team to a 61-42 win

over Burlingame Friday night in Millbrae,
Mills boys basketball player Marquis
Adkins was not willing to call it a statement
win.
Im just glad to get a win against them,
Adkins said. They always give us a hard
time.
Adkins was a big reason for the nal lopsided score. The senior wing scored 14
points, pulled down 16 rebounds, guarded
Burlingames two big men Bassel
Mufarreh and Tyler Garlitos holding them
to a combined 16 points, and just to top off
the night, spent most of the game initiating
the Vikings offense.
In a few words, Adkins did it all.
Hes been doing this all season, said
Mills coach Rick Hanson. This was a very
good game for him. Invaluable is a very
good word to describe him.
Adkins, however, simply shrugged his
shoulders when asked about his versatility.
I just go out and do whatever coach wants
me to do, Adkins said. I feel were versatile [up and down the lineup].
Both teams got off to slow starts, as they
combined for 12 rst-quarter points.
While the Panthers continued to struggle
from the eld for the remainder of the game,
Mills found a groove and never got out of it.
After scoring just four points in the opening
eight minutes on 2 of 18 shooting, the
Vikings scored 17 in the third, 17 in the
fourth and then put the game away with a 23point fourth quarter.
It was rst quad jitters and we had to settle down, Adkins said of the early cold
snap. Once that happened, our whole team
started to click.
After that rst quarter, Mills (2-0 PAL
South, 10-4 overall) shot 70 percent from
the eld 26 for 37, including 10 of 13
from the oor over the nal eight minutes.
Compare that to the Panthers, who, after a

12-0 run propels Presentation over Notre Dame

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Cat Fight lived up to its name and

then some Friday night.
The annual showdown between Notre
Dame-Belmont and Presentation at Moore
Pavilion saw game-changing defense on
both sides, with the Tigers and Panthers
combining for 35 turnovers throughout.
In the end though, it was a 12-0 secondhalf run by Presentation that decided it with

the Panthers going on to a 46-36 victory.

With West Catholic Athletic League play
getting underway this week, and both teams
entering into play having dropped their
league openers, the outcome marked the rst
league win of the season for Presentation.
Every win is a big win, no matter what,
Presentation head coach Kyle Nakamura
said. And obviously, it being the Cat
Fight, [Notre Dame] has a big advantage
with their fan base. It's a great event that
they have.

Indeed, it was a big night at Moore

Pavilion, with both sides of the bleachers
being utilized. It's something Notre Dame
only did twice during the regular season last
year. With the Cat Fight earning its name
during the 2006-07 season, Presentation
(1-1 in WCAL, 7-5 overall) has now tabbed
a 6-3 record in the annual game.
The tally in the loss column was something Notre Dame head coach Josh
Davenport addressed in the postgame locker
room. In a game that saw the lead change

hands six times, until Presentation nally

jumped out front for good near the end of the
third quarter, Davenport said it was a game
the Tigers should have, and could have,
won.
I told them that thats a game that we can
win, Davenport said. We just need to execute better, because we did not execute very
well.
The letdown came when Presentation
started knocking down shots from around

Burlingame 3, Carlmont 1
The Panthers scored three times in the second half including twice in the final 10
minutes to rally from a 1-0 halftime deficit
Friday in Burlingame.
Carlmont (1-1 PAL Bay, 3-5 overall)
appeared to snatch the momentum just before
halftime when Pal Bastaki sent a perfect diagonal through ball to the right wing. Alex
Chernikov ran onto the ball, broke in on goal
and chipped the charging goalkeeper to put
the Scots up 1-0 in the 38th minute.
Carlmont had three good scoring opportunities in the opening minutes of the second
half, but could not convert.
Burlingame (2-0, 3-2-2) found the equalizer
off a scramble in front of the net in the 55th
minute. The Carlmont goalkeeper failed to
control a high, bouncing ball and after it ricocheted around in the Carlmont penalty box,
Kelly Wakasa finally managed to get a head on
it and nodded it home to tie the score at 1.
Gio Gomes put Burlingame up 2-1 in the
75th minute with the prettiest goal of the
match. The Panthers earned a free kick near the
sideline, deep in Carlmonts end. Baxter
Kindler-Balmy sent a short ball to Gomes,
who carried it to the top right corner of the
Scots penalty box before turning and curling a

perfect left-footed shot just inside the far left

post.
Gomes then teamed with Sharif Shibli on a

OAKLAND Klay Thompson scored 24

points, Stephen Curry had 23 and 10 assists
and the Golden State Warriors completed a
perfect six-game home stand with a 112-94
win Friday night over the LeBron Jamesless Cleveland Cavaliers.
Draymond Green added 10 points, 11
rebounds and eight assists, helping the
Warriors pull away in the fourth against a
Cavaliers team that
showed some fight without James but ended up
with the same result: a
loss.
Cleveland is 1-6 since
James has been sidelined
with a strained back and
left knee. Hes expected
to miss at least two more
Klay Thompson games.
J.R. Smith scored 27
points, Kyrie Irving had 23, and Kevin
Love added 17 points and 14 rebounds for
the Cavaliers, who stayed close most of the
way until Golden State blitzed them late.
The NBA-leading Warriors (29-5) have
just been too much for most teams to handle
for 48 minutes, especially at home. They
have won 14 in a row and 16 of 17 at rowdy
Oracle Arena this season.
Golden State led by 11 with eight minutes
remaining before Smith, Irving and Love
pulled Cleveland back within four. But just
as theyve done so often, the Warriors used
one big burst to put the game away.

Standard of great in PGA is changing

By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KAPALUA, Hawaii Bubba Watson already

has achieved more than he ever imagined. Two
green jackets from the Masters. A World Golf
Championship title in Shanghai. Six victories
on the PGA Tour. And now he has raised the bar
on what he hopes to accomplish before hes
finished.
Ten wins.
It doesnt sound like much, not compared
with 79 wins by Tiger Woods, or Sam Sneads
record of 82. Not even compared with 20 wins
by Davis Love III.
The global game makes it harder to win,
Watson said after winning the HSBC
Champions. Ten wins for me personally, and
any young player, thats the first goal. Because
that number 10, we dont talk about it enough.
Everybody in the field is so talented.
There was a time when 10 victories was
good, but not even close to great.
The PGA Tour awards a lifetime exemption
for 20 wins. Four active players on the PGA
Tour have at least 20 victories Woods, Phil
Mickelson (42), Vijay Singh (34) and Love.
But there are 33 others from previous eras who
are in the 20-win club.
Maybe its time to lower the bar.
I think if you get to double digits, Hunter
Mahan. How many guys have that?
Its not that long of a list. Ernie Els has 19
and Jim Furyk has 16. David Toms and David
Duval are at 13 as they wind down their careers.
Steve Stricker and Justin Leonard are at 12,
while Zach Johnson and Adam Scott have won
11 times.
Rory McIlroy has nine wins on the PGA

Tour, all against the

strongest
fields.
Projections
for Boy
Wonder are higher, and
they should. be. Hes special, one of those players
who come along every
other generation or so.
As for the rest of them?
Maybe theres too much
Bubba Watson
money in golf 50 players earned more money in 2014 than Arnold
Palmer did in his career and it lessens the
motivation to win. There was a time not long
ago when it was harder to win because Woods
wasnt leaving much for anyone else.
The more reasonable explanation is that
these guys really are good. And there are more
of them than ever before.
Its hard to see a 40-time winner on tour
now, isnt it? said Geoff Ogilvy, who has
eight career wins. As good as (Jordan) Spieth
is, 40 times! Thats two times a year for 20
years. So theres less of that. The golf is better.
But the winning, the piling up wins, theres
less of that.
Fred Couples was inducted into the World
Golf Hall of Fame with only 15 wins and one
major. Mark OMeara will be inducted this summer with a slightly better record 16 wins and
two majors. Can Furyk be that far behind with
his 16 victories and U.S. Open title? And while
money is not a great measure with inflation and
TV money, Furyks $60 million in career
money trails only Woods, Mickelson and
Singh.
Maybe theres a reason some administrator at
the PGA Tour set the bar at 20 wins for a lifetime exemption. Except for the truly great

ones, that club doesnt figure to get much larger. Love was the last player to get his 20th victory at age 44.
Matt Kuchar is fond of saying that no tour
has ever held back a great player, and that principle applies. The great ones will accomplish
exceedingly more, whether their names are
Nicklaus or Palmer, Hogan or Snead, Trevino or
Casper. Woods picked up his 20th career win in
the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach when he was 24.
Mickelson was 31 when he won for the 20th
time at the Bob Hope Classic two years later.
Those two are elite.
The definition of great, however, is getting
blurry.
Whats great in our generation? Its hard to
say, Kuchar said. Its a classic argument, and
Im not sure there is a right answer. ... Were
really judge on majors, but 20 wins, the lifetime deal would be a cool feather in the cap.
Johnson doesnt get enough credit to have
won 11 times (including the Masters) even
though he lacks the kind of power that defines
the modern generation. Leonard was like that a
decade earlier. Asked what he would call a good
career, Johnson lowered the bar to four or five
victories.
Just because its so hard, he said. There are
some guys who won last year I havent even
met.
Someone will add to that total at the Hyundai
Tournament of Champions this week. Johnson
has the most victories of anyone in the field.
Watson could win and bump his total to seven
career wins, inching closer to his goal or at
least his next goal.
Im going to keep trying until I get to 10,
and then Ill switch it from there, he said. Or
retire.

49ers players support internal candidates for head coach

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Several of the San

Francisco 49ers have said they are hopeful
their new head coach is a lot like the old one,
Jim Harbaugh.
The players have expressed confidence in
a couple of familiar faces in the building who
could become San Franciscos new head
coach.
Whether CEO Jed York and general manager Trent Baalke decide to promote from within is the big question: Defensive coordinator
Vic Fangio and defensive line coach Jim
Tomsula are considered the best bets to be
considered for promotions from the current
coaching staff.
Hes going to have to have pretty much
everything that Jim Harbaugh had, tight

end Vernon Davis said. Because he was

good, he was really good.
Fangio who joined the 49ers with
Harbaugh from Stanford in 2011 and led one
of the NFLs top defenses interviewed last
week. But theres been no confirmation that
Tomsula has had a formal sit down with team
executives, who are through their second
week of a coaching search they initially said
would likely last seven to 10 days.
Weve just got to wait and see, left guard
Mike Iupati said. Similar to Harbaugh, I
really love Harbaugh. Whatever coach
comes, I wish him the best of luck and see
where he takes the team.
If Fangio is hired, he is expected to consider Kyle Shanahan for his offensive coordinator after Shanahan parted ways with the
Browns this week.

I would like to see Vic Fangio here, linebacker NaVorro Bowman said. Whether
thats head coach or (defensive coordinator),
I would like to see him here.
The Washington Redskins were denied permission to interview Fangio for their defensive coordinator vacancy, a person with
knowledge of the request said Friday. The
person spoke on condition of anonymity
because those dealings between teams arent
made public.
Fangio adapted this past season with a
new-look defense given the injuries of star
linebackers Bowman and Patrick Willis, and
the nine-game suspension of linebacker
Aldon Smith to start the year.
Fangio has worked for a number of NFL
teams during his long career, from the Saints
to the Panthers, Ravens, Colts and Texans.

New Jersey basketball power
suspended from state tournament
TRENTON, N.J. A New Jersey high
school basketball power has been suspended
from this years state tournament over a fracas
during a game in California.
The New Jersey State Interscholastic
Athletic Association announced Friday that
Patrick School boys team could not compete
in the state tournament.
The NJSIAA says the discipline is mandatory after five players were ejected from a game
on Dec. 29 in the Under Armour Holiday
Classic in San Diego. Thats because of a rule
that ban teams if three or more players or
coaches are ejected during a single game for
flagrantly unsportsmanlike conduct.
Two Patrick players were ejected for their
roles in a shoving match during a game and
three were thrown out for leaving the bench.

Roy Tarpley, drug-plagued

former Mavericks center, dies
ARLINGTON, Texas Roy Tarpley, the former Dallas Mavericks star center whose NBA
career was cut short by drug abuse, has died. He
was 50.
A Tarrant County medical examiners report
says Tarpley died Friday afternoon at Texas
Health Arlington Memorial Hospital. No
cause of death was given in the online report.
The 7-foot Tarpley was the seventh pick in
the 1986 NBA draft out of Michigan. He
played for the Mavs until October 1991, when
he was kicked out of the NBA for using
cocaine.
He played in Greece until the NBA reinstated
him in 1994. He signed a six-year, $20 million contract with the Mavericks but was permanently banned from the NBA in December
1995 for using alcohol and violating the terms
of a court-imposed personal aftercare program.
Tarpley averaged 12.6 points and 10.0
rebounds in 280 career NBA games.

CFP director says no talks

of more than 4 playoff teams
DALLAS College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock says his group isnt
even considering more than four teams in the
playoff.
Hancock said Friday there are plenty of reasons why a four-team model was picked, and
nothing has changed that after the first of a 12year contract.
Larger brackets were toyed with when the
playoff concept was first being put together.
Hancock says with the four-team bracket,
there was no erosion of the regular season and
that the experience and tradition of the bowl
games was maintained. He says it worked out
really, really well and that his group couldnt
be happier.

be in good shape with 2:20 remaining in the
third quarter when Limu Vanisi hit a bucket to
give the Tigers a 25-23 lead.
From that point forward, however, it was all
Presentation.
Presentation senior Maddie Guidoux
sparked the 12-point outburst with a sweet
drive through trafc to nish with a nger roll
for two of her game-high 14 points to
tie it 25-25. Then with one minute remaining
in the quarter, senior Sarah Kaul drove inside
and kicked a pass beyond the arc to junior
guard Megan Jaeb, who buried a 3-pointer to
give the Panthers a 28-25 lead.
As Notre Dame attempted to bring the ball
up court for its nal possession of the quarter,
the Presentation full-court press which
swarmed all night before nally breaking
down Notre Dame in the second half created
a nal score before the buzzer, as senior
Maeve Kavanagh grabbed a steal and took it to
the hoop to give the Panthers a 30-25 lead at
the end of three quarters.
There were a few things that happened,
Davenport said. We got in foul trouble. That
threw our rotations off a little bit. But we
werent able to contain their guards. And their
guards penetrating and kicking our closeouts werent very good and they were able
to make shots.
Presentation kept the pressure on to start
the fourth quarter. Notre Dame senior guard
Emma Pastorino came up with a creative backhanded shot block on a Presentation baseline
drive which had the Tigers fans oohing and
aahing. But even that gem ultimately went the
Panthers way, as Guidoux gathered the loose

Burlingame (1-1, 4-9) led 8-4 after the
rst quarter and led 15-9 when Justin Gutang
buried a 3-pointer with 5:12 to play in the
rst half, giving the Panthers their largest
lead of the game.
That lead evaporated quickly, however.
Mills went on a 10-5 run to close to 20-19,
with Adkins scoring ve points over the
span, but the Panthers stabilized and took a
23-21 lead into halftime.
Mills held on to that momentum to start

relinquish. Leading 26-25, Mills Danny Yu

33-25.
Vanisi nally broke up the 12-point run
with a three-point play, as she drew a foul on a
lay-in and converted the free throw to give
Notre Dame a glimmer of hope to come back at
35-28. But Presentation soon scored the backbreaker when M.C. Simone drew a three-shot
foul while shooting from beyond the arc
which saw Notre Dame senior forward Eleni
Giotinis foul out with 6:04 remaining in the
game.
We stayed with them for most of the game
and I think we did really well with that,
Pastorino said. We were just letting them get
second opportunities and letting them drive.
We just really werent executing as well as we
should have to win the game.
Pastorino left it all on the court though.
Despite the virtually insurmountable lead, she
was playing like she had a comeback in mind
even into the nal minute.
I was just thinking, I need to go to the basket. We need to come back, Pastorino said.
Im always counting points in my head. Im
always thinking how many 3s we need or how
many 2s we need to be able to come back.
Pastorino had another highlight-reel worthy play in the nal minute when a near Notre
Dame turnover in the half-court set saw both
teams scufe for possession. After a pinball
exchange, Pastorino scooped up the loose
ball, ran a sweet arc around trafc and to the
hoop to convert two of her eight points on the
game.
She again rose to the challenge and she
played until she couldn't play anymore,
Davenport said. She left it all out there.
Thats what I ask of the kids, but shes just
showing it.
Cam McNab paced the Tigers with nine
points. McNab, Giotinis and Vanisi each had
ve rebounds to match Presentations Ava
Williams for the game high.

Brandon Matsuno. When Cole Brouqua hit a
leaning oater with under a minute to play
in the third, the Vikings had an eight-point
lead, 38-30, going into the nal eight minutes.
And then the Vikings put the hammer
down as they methodically pulled away from
the Panthers. Adkins
and Herag
Aristakessian each hit a 3-pointer in the
quarter and Marquez Bura came alive, scoring all eight of his points in the fourth.
Buras layup with just under a minute to play
put the Vikings up by 20, 59-39, before settling for the 19-point win.
Mills Miguel Madrigal led all scorers
with 16 points. Burlingame was led by

[Hillsdale was] able to step back and create opposition off the ball and we were not
able to adjust due to our teams shape and

The Knights attack produced many second-half chances, but the only goal came off
a penalty kick in the 53rd minute by Cole.
He was fouled driving the end line away from

Everything was perfect until today,
Hodzic said. [The loss is] just a hiccup in
league.
Mills is off and running with a 2-0 start in
league, including Wednesday's 2-1 win over
Terra Nova. The Vikings faced an uphill battle entering into the season, losing three of
their best players, not to mention their
field.
According to Dillie, Mills home field was
closed for five weeks prior to the start of the
season. Dillie said the team had to improvise practicing on the tennis courts and
other such cement surfaces.
Two of the best players at Mills High
School Aoi Hernandez, a junior wing, and
Matt Louie, a senior center midfielder
opted to play for the U.S. Club Academy
this season. Also, defender Robert
Thorgesen, who is on roster for Mills, has
yet to play after sustaining two concussions
during football season, according to Dillie.
The personnel shakeup has caused Mills
to have to rely on a different-hero-every-day
approach.

said. Different players have stepped up at

Zelda, Batman
among wanted
together
games due in 15 Stand
for humanity

By Derrik J. Lang

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Mayeesha Galiba

LOS ANGELES Link, Master Chief, Batman and Nathan Drake will be back
in action.
The leading men are among the protagonists starring in totally new video
game installments in 2015, joined by newcomers like a team of intergalactic
monster hunters and their prey (Evolve), a band of high-tech criminals
and their tails (Battlefield Hardline) and a battalion of explorers and
their procedurally generated universe (No Mans Sky).
The gaming line-up for 2015 also includes a pair of original
Victorian-inspired tales (Bloodborne, The Order: 1886), the
return of two long-gone, out-of-this-world gaming franchises
(Star Wars: Battlefront, Star Fox) and an expedition into the
open-world genre for a long-running stealth series (Metal Gear
Solid V: The Phantom Pain).
Heres a glimpse of some of 2015s most anticipated games:
Batman: Arkham Knight (for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC;
June 2): After three editions of stomping, gliding and grappling
through a virtual Gotham, Batman has keys to the Batmobile in
Rocksteady Studios Dark Knight finale. This time, besides oldschool baddies like Penguin and Scarecrow, Batman is facing off
against a new menace called Arkham Knight.
Battlefield Hardline (for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox
360, Xbox One, PC; March 17): Visceral Games is dodging the
military in favor of an interactive game of cops and robbers in the
latest entry of the first-person Battlefield shooter series. The
war-on-crime action will include bank heists, police chases and
hostage rescue missions.
Bloodborne (for PlayStation 4; March 24): Dark Souls
mastermind Hidetaka Miyazaki takes a stab at the PlayStation
4 with this relentless role-playing title set in a gothic enclave
thats been overrun by infected monsters. Bloodborne,
much like predecessors Dark Souls and Demons Souls,
is expected to be quite the nightmare.
Evolve (for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC; Feb. 10):
After tackling team-based zombie slaying with Left 4
Dead, Turtle Rock Studios takes on monster hunting in
this multiplayer shooter with a twist. Instead of equal
squads aiming for each other online, Evolve pits a
team of four against one player portraying an oversized, overpowered behemoth.
Halo 5: Guardians (for Xbox One, fall 2015): For
his latest interstellar adventure, hardened Halo hero
Master Chief is joined by a new companion, fellow
supersoldier Locke. Developer 343 Industries has
injected a slew of fresh abilities into the games
multiplayer mode, including thruster-boosted
dodging and ground pounding.
The Legend of Zelda (for Wii U, 2015): Link
and his trusty steed Epona are set free in an expansive open realm in the first original Legend of
Zelda adventure crafted for Nintendos high-definition, touchscreen-centric Wii U console.

was sitting in a chair in my economics classroom, minutes before the bell

rang, perusing the Internet to pass
the time. This is when I learned about the
murders, this is when my heart broke. My
friend immediately saw my face, and asked
me if I was OK. I shook
my head mechanically
and took out my notebook to begin taking
notes.
Twelve lives were
unjustly taken in Paris.
Eleven more were reported injured. Thats 23 people with parents and
grandparents, brother and sisters, wives
and husbands and children. The brutality of
this act shook me, and it shook the world.
This past summer, I spent two weeks in
France. Id been studying the language for
five years, and was excited to be immersed
in it. It was my first time out of the country
without my parents, but the family that
hosted me exhibited such kindness and hospitality. Even though I was different in
many ways culturally, ethnically, linguistically I never felt that difference. I
only felt a connection forged by people
who wanted to know me and make me feel
at home. These people were willing to
share their culture with me and open their
home to me, and for that I am eternally
grateful. The French are as strong as they
are kind, and I wish they did not have to go
through this. My heart goes out to the
French people, to my friends and to the
family that hosted me and treated me like
their own. My heart goes out to a country
and a world that is hurting.
When I saw this terrible act was committed by people who considered themselves
Muslim, the ray of hope that I didnt even
realize I was holding onto immediately
vanished. I am horrified and I am scared. I
am scared because I am a Muslim, a person
who follows Islam and believes in it with
all her heart, and I am living in a world
where people associate terrorism to Islam. I
am living in a world where hashtags like

Inherent Vice goes by in a pleasant haze

By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If youre one of those who fondly recalls

spending the 60s luxuriating in a pleasantly disorienting haze, well, consider
Inherent Vice a reunion of sorts. Youll fit
right in.
If, on the other hand, your sensibility is
better suited to a different era, you may have
a tougher time with Paul Thomas
Andersons freewheeling, trippy, undeniably uneven adaptation of the 2009 Thomas
Pynchon novel. Itll either exhilarate or
exasperate you, depending on how much
you crave logic, definitive answers, and
clear plotlines all of which are in as
short supply as visible skin on Joaquin

Phoenixs cheeks, under those bushy mutton-chop sideburns.

Despite the films frustrations, it must be
acknowledged that Anderson a master of
the multi-strand, multi-character, multimeaning plot is the perfect director to
adapt Pynchon, in terms of both craft and
spirit. As to be expected, hes amassed a
wholly entertaining cast, ably led by
Phoenix as Doc Sportello, a beach-loving,
weed-imbibing private eye who gets
enmeshed in a bizarre whodunit that unfolds
like an onion laced with LSD.
The action takes place in 1970, to be precise, just as the 60s are about to morph
into something different not that
Sportello seems all too conscious of that.

Inherent Vice,is an absurdist romp about a stoned, hippie detective (Joaquin Phoenix) mumbling
his way through the darkening haze of post-60s Los Angeles, after the Manson murders.

all of its gone out the window.

Such a fate is ironic to the 44-year-old
director, who grew up in the San Fernando
Valley preferring Westerns that were shot
in Arizona or Texas, as opposed to those
(he could tell) in the soft rolling hills of
California.
And there I am making There Will Be
Blood on these soft rolling hills in
California, he says. In other words,

there was zero master plan.

Having already chronicled the Valleys
colorful pornography industry in Boogie
Nights and dramatized the early days of
Scientology in The Master, Anderson
has yet again been lured back to his native
state. Its cinematic, I suppose, and its
dirty, he says. Its got a long, sad history, but its also got a long, beautiful history.

Andersons latest, Inherent Vice, is an

absurdist romp about a stoned, hippie
detective (Joaquin Phoenix) mumbling his
way through the darkening haze of post60s Los Angeles, after the Manson murders. Its the first big-screen adaptation of
a Thomas Pynchon novel (the authors
third California-set book), so Anderson
notes hes really piggybacking on
Pynchons obsessions.

(Jena Malone), a former addict with an

impressive set of false teeth, trying to
track down her missing husband, Coy, a
sax player who may or may not be dead.
Turns out that Coy (Owen Wilson, right at
home here with his languid surfer-speech)
has up to some crazy undercover stuff.
But back to Shasta, whom Doc still pines
for: Starting to investigate her case, he
visits an erotic massage parlor, gets
knocked out and winds up next to a corpse.
Thankfully that brings Doc face to face
with Lt. Det. Christian Bigfoot Bjornsen
and we say thankfully because this idiosyncratic LAPD detective with a flat-top
hairdo is played by Josh Brolin, who
squeezes every ounce of high-octane comedy out of the role. Bigfoot sucks suggestively on chocolate-covered bananas,
bashes in doors when he could just open

them, moonlights on TV (hes an extra on

Adam-12), and barks out orders for pancakes in a hilariously distinctive manner.
Whats next? Wrong question: Unless
youve read the book, and maybe even if
you have, the plot eventually becomes
impossible to sort through - at least if
youre also trying to simply enjoy meeting the assortment of unusual types flitting through. They include Reese
Witherspoon as Deputy DA Penny
Kimball, all buttoned up until shes not,
and Martin Short, bringing his manic
comedic skills to the role of Rudy
Blatnoyd, DDS - a horndog, cocaine-loving dentist. Theres also a terrific turn by
theater actor Jefferson Mays as a menacing
doctor.
Cinematographer Robert Elswit nicely
captures a surf-culture vibe (he recently

explored a darker, grittier, more current Los

Angeles in Nightcrawler). The film is
narrated by a mysteriously spiritual character named Sortilege, Docs ex-assistant
(singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom.) But
does she put it all together for us? Nah. As
the ending credits roll, its best to merely
focus on their lovely neon colors, and not
try to recall precisely what just happened.
After all, they say that if you can remember the `60s, then you werent really there.

Chanting from the hundreds of nurses, physicians, employees and union
members split over the fate of the Daly
City hospital at the citys Merced
Room could be heard clearly from Lake
Merced Boulevard below. The hearing
drew so many people wearing Save
Seton buttons and Save our hospital T-shirts, police blocked access to
the road leading to the site and attendees took turns filling the room while
others remained chanting outside.
Both sides have the same intention
to keep the hospital running, its
emergency room open and its charity
care intact but very different opinions on the best path to the goal. The
California Nurses Association back
the sale as the way to protect health
care and jobs but SEIU-United
Healthcare Worker West opposes the
sale saying Prime prioritizes profits
over care.
Seton Chief of Staff Dr. Herm Valle
said he and 400 doctors support the
sale. But several Prime employees at
Southern California facilities that
traveled to Daly City said the quality of
care suffered after they were purchased.
Even some community members
expressed concern.
Robert Pasion said his mother is on

Californias public education system

While these investments are significant, I caution that we must not stop

recommendation that California regulators should place a condition on the
sale of six nonprofit Catholic hospitals on a commitment to keep the facilities open for 10 years and participate
in the Medi-Cal managed care and
Medicare programs for at least as long.
Closing Seton would create severe
health care accessibility issues, MDS
CEO Phil Dalton said.
Dalton also recommend requiring
Prime maintain $1.9 million in charity care.
Prime has promised to keep the
financially strapped system hospitals
open at least five years, maintain
existing services, spend $150 million
on capital improvements over the next
three years and protect 7,600 jobs at
the acquisitions.
We promise to improve and maintain the hospitals, Mike Sarian, vice
president of operations for Prime, said
during the hearing. Prime is the only
viable choice here.
That promise leads nurses like Debra
Amour to argue that Prime is the best
the only, actually option for
maintaining health care in these pockets of the county and protecting jobs.
Prior to Fridays hearings, Amour,
who works in the intensive care unit at
Seton, told the Daily Journal she personally researched Prime and spoke
with its nurses to reach her opinion.

There is no Plan B. Its Prime or

closure. Theyre the only one who can
afford to keep us open, Amour said.
On Friday, Robert Issai, president
and CEO of Daughters of Charity, said
that there is only 14 days cash on hand
and closure is nearly inevitable without the Prime deal.
Prime operates 29 acute-care facilities hospitals in nine states including
California. In October, Daughters of
Charity announced its selection as the
preferred buyer, setting off a whirlwind
of publicity campaigns for and against
and a laundry list of elected officials
coming out against the sale including
state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco, and U.S. representatives Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, and
Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo.
Issai said he was disappointed the
officials didnt reach out to the
Daughters of Charity for input before
denouncing the deal.
Along with the two San Mateo
County properties, the proposed sale
includes OConnor Hospital in San
Jose, St. Francis Medical Center in
Lynwood, Saint Louise Regional
Hospital in Gilroy and the statewide
DCHS Medical Foundation.
Harris has until Feb. 6 to approve or
reject the sale or impose conditions.
The Vatican must also approve the sale
of the Catholic system.
Harris did not attend the hearing at
which many speakers urged her to go
forward with the sale and the proposed
conditions.
This is one decision she will not
regret, said Joanne Allen, Seton president and CEO.

tion costs so was glad to see him avoid

potentially significant tuition hikes at
the University of California system.
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, DSouth San Francisco, similarly said he
was pleased by a nearly $8 billion infusion into K-12 schools and community
colleges.
Mullin said he was encouraged by the
budgets emphasis on workforce development because it is an important step
to restraining our workforce to meet the
needs of a 21st-century economy.
Browns plan expands Medi-Cal
which all three appreciated but Hill said
he is interested in figuring out funding
because while the federal government is
subsidizing expansion now it will
eventually go away.
With environmental issues close to
his heart, Gordon said he is especially
pleased by Browns commitment to
climate change issues and looks forward to learning more details about his
goals to slash the states carbon emissions and invest in renewable energy.

While I am pleased to see his commitment to combating climate change,

meeting his bold objectives without
harming our economy will require serious effort, innovation and compromise, Gordon said.
But while much is made of the governors budget release, Gordon points out
that many changes could be made leading to the May revise and final adoption. He expects those discussions to
include Medi-Cal expansion and possibly increased reimbursement rates and
the infrastructure Brown referenced in
his dual inauguration and state of the
