Massage parlors and pot clubs facing ban

Extending urgency moratorium on Burlingame City Councils agenda
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As officials continue to examine

the changing landscape for laws
governing marijuana dispensaries
and massage parlors,
the
Burlingame City Council is considering extending an urgency
moratorium which would block
those businesses from setting up

shop.
Staff is recommending City
Council pass an urgency moratorium at its Tuesday meeting, which
would renew a similar measure
passed by the council last month.
According to a report from the
office of City Attorney Kathleen
Kane, cities can implement
urgency moratoriums to stop businesses that could pose a threat to

public safety from opening.
temporarily block these businesses from opening in Burlingame,

according to the report.
Considering the nature of massage parlors and marijuana dispensaries, which could bring with
them the danger of human trafficking, prostitution, robberies or
illegal drug sales, it is best the
city exercise the power it has to
Medical marijuana dispensaries, collectives and commercial-size growing operations have

been associated with increased
risks of robberies, identity falsification, fraudulent resale of marijuana and loitering, Kane wrote
in the report. The proposed moratorium would protect the public

from such effects and give the city
time to consider regulatory action
that would be consistent with
long-range planning efforts and
evolving law on the subject.
With a four-fifths approval by
the council, Burlingame could

Rent control ordinance urged

Affordable housing advocates march in Redwood City
By Dave Newlands
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
More than 200 people took to

the streets of Redwood City to urge
the passage of a rent control ordinance with claims that escalating
housing costs are hurting the
working poor.
Rent control is what were talking about ... but what its really
about is protection. Housing, food
and safety are the core needs of a
community, Diana Reddy, with
the Housing Leadership Council,

said at Saturdays march in downtown Redwood City.
The march was a lead-up to a
Planning Commission meeting
Tuesday night where an item on
rent control in Redwood City is on
the agenda.
The latest effort to pass a rent
control ordinance is a joint effort
between the Housing Leadership
Council and San Francisco

The march included many

Redwood City business owners
who contend the region has
become too expensive for the
wages they can afford to pay.
I myself have to drive 35 miles
to my restaurant and I cannot find
any workers because nobody can
afford to live here for what I can
pay, said a restaurateur who preferred to remain anonymous.
Many at the march also work for
nonprofit agencies that cannot

Currently, the law states that Idaho

Two arrested in overpass shooting

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Police have arrested two people in connection with the shooting of a 19-year-old
man who was hit while walking on the
Peninsula Avenue/Highway 101 overpass
during Fridays evening commute.
On Saturday, investigators identified San
Mateo residents, Jose Ramirez, 19, and
Daniel Nau, 19, as primary suspects in the
shooting and warrants were issued for their
arrests, according to police.
Ramirez was arrested Saturday with the
assistance of the Daly City and South San
Francisco police departments when he was
seen walking just a short distance away
from his girlfriends residence, according to
police.

Marcie Circle received a cold-call from
someone claiming to represent a software
company that talked her into purchasing
$279.99 worth of security software. She
also allowed them remote-access to her computer so they could install the software.
The purported software company called
back later, telling the victim that her license
Nau was thought to be hiding and was

taken into custody later that morning,
surrendering without incident, according
to police.
Detectives searched the residence and
along with other evidence, seized multiple
firearms from inside which will be analyzed
to determine if they were used in either this
case or similar cases.
Both Nau and Ramirez were booked into
county jail for attempted murder and gang
enhancement, as well as other related
offenses.
On Friday, police began receiving multiple calls of shots fired around 4:40 p.m. and
found the man suffering from two gunshot

wounds, said San Mateo police Sgt. Rick
Decker.
The victim, a San Mateo resident, was
found on the south sidewalk near the center
of the overpass and was semi-conscious as
he was transferred to the hospital, Decker
said.
Decker said the victim suffered from critical injuries after being shot twice, but could
not confirm initial reports the man was shot
in the hip and the back.
The victim was considered in critical but
stable condition as of Friday evening,
according to police.

Many sex offenders killed in California prison

Protective housing in prisons
WHAT ARE THEY?
Womens prisons do not have Sensitive Needs Yards.
Sensitive Needs Yards are separate cell blocks, common

areas and outdoor recreation yards set aside for inmates
who would likely be harmed if they were in the general
population with other prisoners. They include sex
offenders; inmates with youthful appearances; inmates
who have left prison gangs; have been assaulted; have
enemies in the general prison population; have drug
or gambling debts; or are former law enforcement or
correctional officers.
HOW MUCH DO THEY COST?
WHO IS THERE?
California prisons hold a total of 37,457 inmates labeled
as sensitive needs, nearly 28 percent of the overall
inmate population. Forty percent of the sensitive-needs
inmates are registered sex offenders.
WHERE ARE THEY?

California has 47 of the yards scattered within 21 of the
states 34 prisons. All of them are in mens prisons.
Prison officials say there is no additional cost, as Sensitive

Needs Yards are run like any other housing unit.
HOW ARE THEY PART OF THE PROBLEM?

Of 11 inmate homicide cases closed by the inspector
generals office during the first half of 2014, 10 were
of sensitive-needs inmates. Of those 10, eight were
killed in their cells. Another sensitive-needs inmate
was seriously injured in his cell but survived.
Prison officials have identified nearly 100 gangs within
Sensitive Needs Yards, according to Matthew
Buechner, a special investigator who trained other
corrections officials on problems with prison gangs
until he recently retired.
Corrections department spokeswoman Terry
Thornton said officials are most concerned about a
handful of the most active gangs.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Shortly after 2 a.m. on

April 6, 2010, a guard at Salinas Valley State
Prison noticed Alan Agers cellmate trying to
stuff something under a mattress. It was Ager,
blood trickling from his mouth and a cloth
noose tied around his neck.
The convicted child molester died 10 days
later without regaining consciousness, his
death earning his cellmate a second life sentence. California state prisoners are killed at
a rate that is double the national average
and sex offenders like Ager account for a disproportionate number of victims, according
to an Associated Press analysis of corrections records.
Male sex offenders made up about 15 percent of the prison population but accounted
for nearly 30 percent of homicide victims,
the AP found in cataloging all 78 killings
that corrections officials reported since
2007, when they started releasing slain
inmates identities and crimes.
The deaths 23 out of 78 come despite
the states creation more than a decade ago of

special housing units designed to protect the
most vulnerable inmates, including sex
offenders, often marked men behind bars
because of the nature of their crimes.
In some cases, they have been killed
among the general prison population and, in
others, within the special units by violenceprone cellmates. Officials acknowledge that
those units, which also house inmates trying
to quit gangs, have spawned their own gangs.
Corrections officials blamed a rise in the
prison homicide rate on an overhaul meant to
reduce crowding. As part of the effort, the
state in 2011 began keeping lower-level
offenders in county lockups, leaving prisons
with a higher percentage of sex offenders and
violent gangmembers.
Violence and homicides wont decline
unless the state goes well below the prison
population level set by the courts 137.5
percent of the systems designed capacity,
said James Austin, president of the JFA
Institute, a Washington, D.C., consulting
firm that works on prison issues.

Exams based on
Common Core
standards begin
By Kimberly Hefling
and Julie Carr Smyth
STOCKPORT, Ohio Sixthgrader Kayla Hunter considers herself pretty tech savvy. She has a
computer at home unlike about
half her classmates at her elementary school. And it matches up
well with the one shell use this
week to take a new test linked to
the Common Core standards.
Still, the perky 11-year-old worries. During a recent practice exam
at her school in Ohio, she couldnt
even log on. It wouldnt let me,
she said. It kept saying it wasnt
right, and it just kept loading the
whole time.
Her state on Tuesday will be the
first to administer one of two tests
in English language arts and math
based on the Common Core standards developed by two separate
groups of states. By the end of the
school year, about 12 million
children in 29 states and the
District of Columbia will take
them, using computers or electronic tablets.
The exams are expected to be
more difficult than the traditional
spring standardized state exams
they replace. In some states,
theyll require hours of additional
testing time because students will
have to do more than just fill in
the bubble. The goal is to test stu-
dents on critical thinking skills,

requiring them to describe their
reasoning and solve problems.
The tests have multimedia components, written essays and multistep calculations needed to solve
math problems that go beyond
just using rote memory. Students
in some states will take adaptive
versions in which questions get
harder or easier depending on their
answers.
But theres been controversy.
The tests have been caught up in
the debate playing out in state legislatures across the country about
the federal role in education.
Although more than 40 states
have adopted Common Core,
which spells out what reading and
math skills students should master
in each grade, several have decided
not to offer the tests known as
the Smarter Balanced Assessment
Consortium, and Partnership for
Assessment of Readiness for
College and Careers, or PARCC.
Some states are introducing other
new state standardized tests this
year.
The Common Core tests fulfill
the requirement in the federal No
Child Left Behind law for annual
testing in reading and math in
grades three to eight and again in
high school. But as Congress
seeks to rewrite the education law,
theres debate over whether the
tests should be required by
Washington, and whether students

in pockets of the country have
joined a movement to opt out of
these standardized tests.
Questions also have been raised
about students keyboarding skills
and schools computer capacities.
In the Appalachian foothills
where Kayla attends Morgan
South Elementary School, administrators and teachers worry that
they dont have the bandwidth to
provide reliable Internet connectivity on testing day. Both tests
offer a paper option. PARCC officials anticipate that about a quarter
of students will use the paper version; Smarter Balanced officials

estimate roughly 10 to 20 percent
will take it on paper.
Just eight days before the test,
the Morgan Local School District
in rural southeastern Ohio ordered
200 more Chromebooks, which
worked best during the practice
run.
The week before the test, Kayla
and her classmates huddled in pairs
sharing what devices were available at the school. Theyll be
more comfortable with the technology, but it is a worry of mine

Winter storm slams South; cold freezes Northeast

By Adam Beam
FRANKFORT, Ky. Snow swirled sideways in Kentucky and the typically

bustling state capital of Frankfort came to a
frozen halt Monday as a storm walloped
parts of the South, which unlike the
Northeast, had been mostly spared this winter.
That all changed with a mix of snow, sleet
and freezing rain across the region, making
roads treacherous and knocking out power
to thousands of people. Luckily, the storm
arrived on a holiday, Presidents Day, when
many schools and businesses were already
closed and the morning commute was not as
busy.
Officials also made certain roads were prepared this year after Southern cities most
notably Atlanta were caught off guard a
year ago when a winter storm stranded thousands of people on interstates overnight.
Raleigh suffered a similar fate last year.
Still, some werent quite ready for the
winter blast.
RL Doss said he had already used his 1987
GMC Suburban which can haul up to
three-quarters of a ton with ropes and chains
to rescue several people and their cars on
the hills surrounding Frankfort. Cars were
fishtailing and sliding off the slick roads.
I look at it this way. Everybody is trying
to get out, to get their last bit of food and
stuff, getting home from work and people
leaving for work and stuff, and it happens,
he said, shivering in a pair of tan overalls
pulled over a hooded sweat shirt.
Glancing at his truck, the burgundy behemoth, he said: I like to see what the truck
can do and what it cant do. I push it to its
limits.
In the Northeast, which has been
slammed by seemingly endless snow, the
white stuff stopped falling but the temperatures were bitterly cold. New York City came
close to breaking a 127-year-old record
running in the snow because it gives them a

nice cushion as opposed to the harder,
packed earth.
Arkansas, where temperatures plummeted
from the 70s on Saturday to highs in the
30s a day later, had nearly 30,000 people
without power at the peak of the storm.
Roads were slushy and traffic was moving
slowly in Tennessee. Justyn Jackson, a
meteorologist with the National Weather
Service in Nashville, said the last bad winter storm in the city was 2010 when up to 4
inches of snow fell.
A lot of cities up North, they deal with
this several times during the winter. Its really not uncommon for them at all, Jackson
said. Down here, especially in Nashville,
although its not rare, it certainly on average happens once or twice a winter.
Georgia officials were taking no chances,
bringing in more personnel to the state
operations center and pre-treating roads

Eurozone issues Greece an ultimatum

By Pan Pylas and Lorne Cook
BRUSSELS European creditors issued

Greece with an ultimatum Monday, saying
the country must accept a key condition in
bailout talks by the end of the week or face
having to meet its debt commitments on its
own a prospect that many in the financial
markets think would leave Greece little
option but to leave the euro.
After a meeting of the 19 finance ministers
of the eurozone over how to make Greeces
debts sustainable broke down in seemingacrimony after barely more than three hours,
Greece was told it has to ask for an extension
to its bailout program before further negotiations on the countrys future financing and
economic course can take place.
We simply need more time and the best
way for that at this point is extend the current
program which would allow a number of
months for us to work on future arrangements, said Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the head
of the so-called eurogroup.
Without some sort of financing arrangements in place after the current bailout ends
after Feb. 28, Greece would face real difficulties meeting its obligations, such as debt
repayments, over the coming months.
Bankruptcy and a potential exit from the euro
would loom for Greece once again.
Thats why investors grew increasingly
concerned Monday that a deal may not
emerge in time to avoid a so-called Grexit
from the euro the main stock market in
Greece fell 3.8 percent while the euro
slipped.
Investors are worried that the two sides are
poles apart especially as a cornerstone of the
election campaign of Greeces new left-wing
government was to scrap the bailout program. In return for 240 billion euros ($275
billion) of rescue money from 2010 onwards,
successive Greek governments have had to
implement a wide array of austerity measures
such as deep cuts to spending and pensions.
The new Syriza government, in power for
barely three weeks, blames those measures
for the countrys economic ills the Greek
economy is around a quarter smaller than in
2008, despite a recent modest return to
growth while unemployment and poverty
have swelled.

eastern Ukraine fighting that threatens
to dash a cease-fire deal brokered by
European leaders last week.
Under the cease-fire agreement negotiated by the leaders of Ukraine, Russia,
Germany and France, the warring sides are
to begin withdrawing heavy weapons from
the front line Tuesday. That plan already
looks at risk, with the rebels saying they
are not satisfied that conditions are in
place for the process to go ahead.
Associated Press reporters in Luhanske, a
government-held town 15 kilometers (9
miles) northwest of the bitterly contested
railway hub of Debaltseve, heard sustained
shelling Monday. Some of the artillery
appeared to be outgoing, suggesting it was
being fired by Ukrainian troops.

Finding the right balance for Belmont zoning

By Eric Reed and Charles Stone
he city of Belmont is incredibly attractive to dynamic and

growing families because of
its excellent schools, proximity to
employers, open spaces, tight-knit
community and natural beauty. Many
people want to move here and, in the
past, housing demand could be satised with construction of new singlefamily homes. Unfortunately, those
days are gone. Being rich in a supply
of good jobs, but poor in supply of
homes, prices have soared. New families must often stretch their budget
just to be able to achieve some semblance of the American dream a 60year-old modest two-bedroom, onebathroom, one-car garage home.
Moving up from starter homes can
be cost-prohibitive (if a larger house
can even be found). As a result, traditional home mobility does not exist
here. This is a common problem on
the Peninsula.
Just as community needs change
over time, home owner needs do too.
Families grow, are presented with the
opportunity and need to care for an
elderly parent, or are faced with welcoming an adult child and perhaps
his or her family back home. It is
our belief that every family in
Belmont deserves the opportunity to
have a home that meets their needs
while continuing to preserve our small
town feel. But that is challenging in
Belmont at the present time.
Current home modication zoning
ordinances are among the most restrictive in San Mateo County. In fact, during our respective City Council campaigns and during our tenure as elected
members of the Belmont City
Council, many residents have
expressed their frustration with the
signicant challenges and roadblocks
to remodeling homes to accommodate
changing needs. In our experience,
some of our ordinances, as written,
seem to work against residents when
they should be working for them.
For example,
home size should
vary in relation to
lot size. In most of
Belmont, whether
you have a 6,000square-foot lot or a
25,000-square-foot
lot, today your maximum allowable living space is the
same. We believe
larger lots can support reasonably
larger homes and
support changes
that reach this goal.
Furthermore, project review requirements should be
aligned with project impact. Parking
requirements should be based on vehicle ownership statistics, not set at an
arbitrary number. For those with onecar garages, our ordinances make it
incredibly hard to add room for a
growing family without adding another garage regardless of what type of
space is being added or whether it will
result in the addition of a new car or
driver. These families should not be
effectively prohibited from adding on
to their homes and instead forced to
face the prospect of moving. Buying a
bigger home is no longer a realistic
option for most people.
As in most similar communities, our
Planning Commission should be
spending its precious and valued volunteer time analyzing new home projects, reviewing substantial home additions, updating our general plan,
working on our housing element,
working on a downtown and evaluating opportunities to build workforce
housing. But our current rules require
commission review of all projects
adding more than 399 square feet
whether they include a bedroom or
not. This is one of the strictest
requirements in the county. This
results in costly and time-consuming
delays but also a great deal of uncer-
Guest
perspective
tainty. Our residents deserve timely
processes, more certainty and less
ambiguity. Freeing the Planning
Commission from review of small
projects that should only require a
simple administrative process will
enable it to spend time on important
long-term issues. Thats why we support increasing the threshold for commission review.
Some say our proposals will dramatically alter the feel of our town; that
McMansions will abound. Dont be
fooled. Slope, oor area ratio and setback requirements (all of which remain
in place under our proposed changes)
restrict most Belmont lots from building these types of massive homes and
will continue to do so. San Mateo has
similar rules, but overly large homes
have not overtaken that city.
Our proposed modications have
been discussed at three public meetings and staff is working hard to provide an assessment of potential
impacts. Once this process is complete, the modications will, again,
be put in front of the Planning
Commission for further feedback and
recommendations. After that, the
council will examine them in public
again before any changes are nalized.
The process is uid and feedback is
welcome. We look forward to continued input from the public as we follow
through on our promise to take action
to make Belmont the very best it can
be.

Our collective journey
hat really makes you and I different from one

another? It goes without saying that you could
probably point out a number of differences for
which we are not concerned with here. I only raise the
question to draw your attention to the fact that we hear
this question posed much more frequently than we do
about our vast similarities that is our collective successes, failures, vices, virtues and, perhaps most importantly, our cultural and historical journey through numerous challenges in our attempt to make the American dream
a reality.
Last Sunday, I toured the San Mateo County History
Museum. My favorite display is an exhibit entitled, Land
of Opportunity: the Immigrant Experience in San Mateo
County. This exhibit tells the stories of immigrants who
faced numerous hardships, but still found the faith and
resilience to make a place for themselves on the
Peninsula. The groups include the
Irish, Italians, Chinese, Japanese,
Mexicans, Portuguese and Filipinos.
The museum is currently working with
Stanford University to develop an
African-American exhibit.
Displaying everything from the
nest Chinese clothing to the vast cultural customs of the Irish, the large
hall unequivocally highlighted the
beauty in many cultures.
To the left wall behind the wondrous cultural displays
were long historic descriptions of the injustices faced by
many cultures in their efforts to achieve equal rights,
opportunity and ultimately the American dream. There are
an unfathomable number of hardships, racial injustices
and biased laws perpetrating prejudicial actions that made
it all but impossible for many of these cultures to make
the United States their home.
The Native Americans faced several fatal atrocities in
their attempt to maintain their culture and customs in
North America. According to Ward Churchill, a former professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado, the
North American Indian population declined from about 12
million in 1500 to under 240,000 in 1900 as a result of a
vast genocide ... the most sustained on record.
The Chinese immigrants also faced their fair share of
challenges. As the Chinese immigrants migrated to
California in the second half of the 19th century, Congress
enacted the Chinese Exclusion Act as the pinnacle symbol
of resistance to Chinese immigration in America.
The Immigration Restriction Act of 1924 placed barriers
on Jewish emigrants from entering the United States, even
through the heart of World War II a time in which many
Jewish emigrants faced a life-or-death challenge in their
ight from extermination camps in Germany.
Of course, African-Americans have spent hundreds of
years ghting to secure fundamental rights such as the
right to vote, the right to equal protection under the laws
and most notably the right to be free of involuntary servitude.
In spite of the countless injustices perpetuated on mass
ethnic groups destined to make the United States their
home, these groups collectively found within them a faith
and resurgence which enabled them to ght and endure for a
better day, albeit that day was nowhere in sight.
One of the most evident outcomes of the resilient human
spirit in such hardships was the creed of nationalism
the strong pride and belief in ones cultural heritage, traditions and customs. At the heart of nationalism is the belief
that what makes us very unique is the driving force
enabling each of us to triumph through what others may
call impossible odds.
As such, nationalism has and continues to be a great
focal point that gives cultures a sense of pride and
resilience. The problems arise when cultures allow the
love of their own culture to be accompanied by a distaste
for the culture and customs of others. From this phenomenon, we have witnessed racism, mass genocide, fascism
and slavery.
It goes without saying that no culture should wipe clean
from memory the injustices they have overcome, for it is
essential that each culture prevent those atrocities from
reoccurring in the future. That being said, it is equally
important to have an admiration and respect for each and
every culture, regardless of race, creed or circumstance. If
there is anything that history teaches us, it is that the survival of humanity has the greatest outcome when we can
cherish what binds us together be it our collective journey of challenges or triumphs more than the many differences that drive us apart.
Yes, we are all different. And yet, we are all the same. It
is embracing our differences, however, which should make
us appreciate the uniquity in all cultures, and in turn the
similarities that bind us together.

0. 4 percent to close at 10, 923. 23 and
Frances CAC 40 dropped 0.2 percent to
4,751.95. Britains FTSE 100 inched down

GREEK TENSIONS: Eurozone finance
ministers meet Monday to consider
Greeces proposal for short-term bridge
financing without the onerous terms previously imposed on the country until a
longer-term solution to Greeces crushing
debt is found. Investors hope an agreement
will be reached to avoid Greeces exit from
the euro. Germanys finance minister on
Monday said a quick deal on Monday is
unlikely. That pushed Athens stock index
down almost 4 percent.
JAPAN REBOUND: Asia was buoyed
by news Japan emerged from recession last

quarter, even though growth fell short of
many forecasters expectations. Data on
Monday showed the worlds third-largest
economy grew at a 2.2 percent annualized
rate in the three months ending in October,
boosted by exports and public spending.
Growth for 2014 was flat and real wages
fell 0.1 percent. Private investment was
anemic, suggesting that businesses and
households still are cautious. Japans
economy slipped into recession last year
after the government increased sales tax in
April.
THE QUOTE: The fact that the economic growth started stabilizing should be reassuring to both the government and the Bank
of Japan, said economist Yoshiro Sato of
Credit Agricole-CIB in a report. That said,
the level of real GDP is still far below that
before the consumption tax hike and that
will require continued efforts made by the
government side in terms of structural
reforms.
ENERGY: U.S. benchmark crude was up
22 cents at $53.00 per barrel in electronic
trading on the New York Mercantile
Exchange. The contract gained $1.57 on

JetBlues CEO tries to appease

passengers and Wall Street
By Scott Mayerowitz
NEW YORK Robin Hayes, the new CEO

of JetBlue Airways, is balancing between
passengers and Wall Street.
As he takes control of the New York-based
airline Monday, Hayes faces a difficult task:
increase profits without destroying the culture that has made JetBlue stand out from
other U.S. airlines.
JetBlue, after all, was the first carrier to
give passengers free live TV at each seat and
is still known for its friendly employees.
For years, the airline has resisted charging
for a first checked bag and boasted the most
generous legroom in the industry. But,
while the airline remained profitable, it
lagged behind competitors. Wall Street
demanded change.
To appease investors, Hayes recently
announced that JetBlue will add a fee this
spring for the first checked suitcase a
move estimated to bring in an extra $200
million annually by 2017. It will also add

15 more seats on most of its jets. That
should increase the profit per flight, but
passengers will lose some personal space.
To the airlines fans, those were jarring
decisions. Hayes stayed up until 3 a.m. personally answering the flood of emails.
People are so passionate about the
JetBlue brand and the JetBlue story. They are
very protective of it, Hayes says. I see
that as a good thing.
Hayes, 48, was chosen in September to
replace outgoing CEO Dave Barger. He is
more receptive to investors than Barger, but
JetBlue prides itself on doing right by workers and passengers. So, following the lead
of his predecessors, Hayes flies to Orlando,
Florida every two weeks to welcome new
hires at the airlines orientation and training program. And while hes cramming
more seats into planes, the passengers sitting in them will be getting larger TV
screens and almost three times as many
channels.

Hackers $1B bank theft

may impact consumers
By Josh Boak
WASHINGTON The hacker gang that

looted as much as $1 billion worldwide
from banks was unusual: It stole directly
from the banks, instead of ripping off their
customers.
But this was hardly a bit of Robin Hood
banditry that spared innocent account holders. Security experts say consumers still
need to keep a close eye on their checking
and savings, as epic computer breaches
such as this theft documented in a report
issued Monday are becoming all too
common.
Customers are still at risk, said Sergey
Golovanov, a researcher at the Russian
cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab that
released the report. Criminals had access
to all banking infrastructure, so they were
able to get any data about customers.
Doug Johnson, senior vice president at
the American Bankers Association, said
theres no evidence that any U.S. bank has
been a victim of this particular breach.
Still, the report found that some of the proceeds were deposited with banks in China
and the United States.
The hacks detailed in the report, which
was presented at a security conference in
Cancun, Mexico, are the latest twist on data
breaches that have struck not just banks but
the health insurer Anthem and major retailers such as Target and Home Depot. And just
like those thefts, experts say there are simple protections that consumers can take.
For starters, most American bank customers are insured against theft by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The insurance applies to any sum up to $250,000 in
checking, a savings account or a certificate
of deposit at a U.S. bank.
Still, more people have become vigilant
about monitoring their transactions and
responding to alerts from their banks if a
charge or withdrawal appears to be suspicious.
We all look at our bank statements a hell
of a lot more carefully than 20 years ago,
said John Gunn, vice president of communications at VASCO Data Security, which provides authentication software for financial
institutions.
There are other simple moves that individuals can do to guard their financial data,
said Stu Sjouwerman, founder of the data
security firm KnowBe4.
Even if it appears to be from their bank,
people should never open email attachments that they didnt request. Nor should
they click on links inside emails, but
instead type the name of their bank into the
Web browser address bar. And they should
only provide a Social Security number or
account information over the phone on
calls that they initiated.
Those are the normal things you would
recommend consumers to use, Sjouwerman
said.

Businger breaks loose

Athlete of the Week
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Riding a three-game winning streak into last

Fridays season finale wasnt enough for Mills.
The Vikings new they needed to score a win over
archrival Capuchino to qualify for the Peninsula
Athletic League playoffs. Mills and Cap entered into
play tied for third place in the PAL North, one game
ahead of Carlmont. With four teams from the PAL
South qualifying, the winner was to gain thoroughfare
via a third-place finish while the loser would tie
Carlmont and be out of the playoff tourney, as both
Cap and Mills lost to the Scots earlier this season.
So, Mills star sophomore Aubrie Businger did what
great players do in big games she went off. Scoring
29 points and grabbing 15 rebounds, Businger led
Mills to a 51-50 win.
She was unbelievable, Mills head coach Dave
Matsu said. Ive got to believe shes one of the best
players in the league.
A second-year varsity starter, Businger notched a
new career-high with her 29-point outburst. In fact, it
is the second highest point total the 5-10 center has
ever scored in an organized basketball game.
Her lifetime high?
A 32-point performance in a 32-30 overtime win to
claim the championship of the Millbrae School
District in fourth grade at Greenhill Elementary
School.
Businger wasnt able to score all of Mills points
last Friday as she did for Greenhill. Still, her performance was pretty special, although she didnt realize
how special at the time, she said.
I didnt really think I had 29 points to be honest,
Businger said. I thought I only had 10 or 12 until
after when my dad told me.
Family basketball is how Businger found her passion for the game. A good, old-fashioned regulation
court in her driveway is where she grew up playing
against her brother Daniel. Once the two reached high
school, Daniel went his own way, opting to pursue his
passion for drama. He was recently in Mills whimsical take on Shakespeare in the winter play, Macbeth
Did It.
Businger, however, dove headfirst into athletics. A
two-sport athlete, she also cracked the starting lineup
with the Mills varsity softball team as a freshman.
But it was on the basketball court where she was soon
to revolutionize the Vikings starting five, even after a
out and set a new attendance record as far as

the PDL goes, Taylor said.
Taylor is entering his fourth year with the
organization. He has an extensive coaching
background in the collegiate ranks, having
served as an assistant at Creighton
University before moving to Oregon State
as head coach for 10 seasons.
Ive been all over the place, Taylor said.
Ive been known for taking teams and
building teams.

begin until next week, Peninsula Athletic

with the PAL basketball tournament this
week. Quarternal games tipoff
Wednesday, with the seminals and nals
Friday and
Saturday, respectively, at Mills.
So, of course,
everyone will ask me
who will win. If
youve followed me
at all over the years,
I tend to stay away
from predicting winners. The last thing I
need is someone giving me grief because
I get them wrong.
What I will do, however, is sort of handicap the PAL boys and girls tournaments
and give a good idea of what to expect.
On the boys side, Half Moon Bay
would have been a prohibitive favorite,
but the Cougars were nicked Friday night
in a loss to Terra Nova that prevented
them from nishing the regular season
with an unblemished record and the outright PAL North championship, which
they shared with the Tigers. Now that the
Cougars have proved to be human, I
think it opens up the tournament for
some interesting matchups.
Remember, Half Moon Bay was on pace to
win last years tournament until the Cougars
were knocked off by Mills in the semis.
That being said, the Cougars are still
one of the teams to beat. There are few
teams in the PAL that can matchup with
their length. But they are vulnerable in

Armstrong loses $10 million arbitration ruling

By Jim Vertuno
AUSTIN, Texas An arbitration panel

ordered Lance Armstrong and Tailwind
Sports Corp. to pay $10 million in a fraud
dispute with a promotions company for
what it called an unparalleled pageant of
international perjury, fraud and conspiracy
that covered up his use of performanceenhancing drugs.
Dallas-based SCA Promotions announced
the 2-1 decision against the former cyclist
when its lawyers said Monday they had
asked Texas 116th Civil

District Court in Dallas
to confirm the arbitration ruling, dated Feb. 4.
The panel included a neutral chairman, who ruled
in favor of SCA, and one
person selected by each
side.
Tim Herman, a lawyer
Lance
for
Armstrong, insisted
Armstrong
the ruling is contrary to
Texas law and predicted it will be overturned
by a judge.
SCA paid Armstrong and Tailwind, the

since-dissolved team management company, about $12 million in bonuses during
Armstrongs career, when he won seven
Tour de France titles. Those victories were
stripped after Armstrong and his U.S. Postal
Service teams were found to have used
banned performance-enhancing drugs.
SCA disputed the bonuses in arbitration in
2005, and the case produced the foundation
of the doping evidence later used against
him. Despite allegations of cheating,
Armstrong continued to deny doping and
the company settled with Armstrong and
paid him $7 million in 2006.

The company sued Armstrong to get its
money back after Armstrongs cheating was
exposed by a report from the U.S. AntiDoping Agency and a televised confession
interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The case was sent back to the original
arbitration panel of independent chairman
Richard Faulkner, SCA selection Richard
Chernick and Armstrong pick Ted Lyon.

Former As great
Giambi bows out
after 20 seasons
By Tom Withers
CLEVELAND Jason Giambi is retiring

after 20 seasons in the majors.
The 2000 AL MVP announced his decision
Monday in a statement that was first sent to
the New York Daily News. He ends his career
as one of 20 players in history with at least
400 home runs, 1, 400
RBIs, 1, 200 runs and
1, 300 walks. The 44year-old played for
Oakland, the New York
Yankees, Colorado and
Cleveland.
Following last season,
Giambi said he would disJason Giambi cuss with his family
whether to keep playing.
The longtime slugger appeared in just 26
games for the Indians in 2014.
A five-time All-Star and fearsome power
hitter, Giambi batted .277 in his career with
440 home runs and 1,441 RBIs. He had a
.399 on-base percentage and slugged .516.
The first baseman was also tarnished by
his involvement in the BALCO performance-enhancing drugs investigation. He
never publicly admitted using PEDs, but has
apologized for past actions.
I want to thank the fans for being a part
of this incredible journey, Giambi said in
his statement. I especially want to thank
the fans that gave me a second chance to let
me show you the human being you see
today.
Despite the PED scandal, Giambi
remained a popular and well-respected player in clubhouses around the majors especially his own. Before joining the Indians
in 2013, he was a finalist for Colorados
managerial job.
Indians President Mark Shapiro tweeted,
An honor to have had G in the Tribe. A generous, wise spirit with so much to offer. True
pro.
In his statement, Giambi also thanked
everyone from his family and agents to the
media, his managers and coaches even
the companies that supplied his baseball
equipment.
Ever since I was 5 years old, all I ever
wanted to be was a Major League Baseball

This season, Businger averaged a doubledouble throughout the regular season with

Taylor said. Some teams are very slow,
methodical with their buildup. Other teams

With that, the final exhibition game

The Dragons have yet to announce their

commit, Taylor said. While some PDL teams
carry upwards of 40 players, Taylor said he
prefers to trim the Dragons roster to no
more than 27 players.
When asked about potential on-field tactical strategies, Taylor tended towards the
whimsical.
Im going to put 11 guys out on the pitch

Theyre very excited, he said. Especially

after winning a close and hard-fought game

Businger played it cool though, because

Steady Snedeker sees a payoff Stadium project

By Doug Ferguson
PEBBLE BEACH Brandt Snedeker finds

something that works and sticks with it.
He picked up a putter in 2005 on the
Nationwide Tour and it has been with him
since, except for a short separation last summer when the putts stopped falling. Snedeker,
like most golfers, felt as if he needed to teach
it a lesson and try something new. Actually,
he wanted to teach her a lesson. And how
did he choose the gender?
Shes done pretty well over the last nine
years, so I feel like its a marriage at this
point, he said.
His driver is made by a company that seems
to promote something new every other
month, and yet Snedeker is still using one
made in 2010. In this era of technology, that
practically makes it a relic. And those irons?
Hes been using those since before Jordan
Spieth came out on tour.
The equipment editor for Golf Digest figured out the resale value for the putter and the
driver combined would be $34.
That wouldnt shock me, Snedeker said.
If you see any more, Im willing to buy them
for that.
That shouldnt be a problem for Snedeker,
who used them all quite handily and set the
tournament scoring record for the second time
in three years when he won the AT&T Pebble
Beach National Pro-Am on Sunday. The victory was worth just over $1.2 million.
It was valuable in so many other ways.
For starters, it made him relevant again, a
term Snedeker used when he realized at the
start of the year he was no longer eligible for
the events that attract the worlds best play-
ers. The seventh career

victory got him into the
Masters and the PGA
Championship, and by
moving up to a No. 31
world ranking, he can
count on the four World
Golf
Championships,
along with starting next
year in Kapalua.
Brandt
More than that, howevSnedeker
er, it justified a decision
last summer to get away from something that
had been working well.
He changed coaches.
Snedeker had been with Todd Anderson
since the end of 2005 about as long as hes
had that putter and he won six PGA Tour
events and over $20 million in earnings,
which doesnt include the $10 million bonus
from his FedEx Cup title in 2012 right before
he played in his first Ryder Cup. Golf can get
stale, however, and it was a big move for
Snedeker to seek out Butch Harmon a week
before the U.S. Open.
A class act, Harmon said Sunday night.
Its fun working with him. He has a quick
wit, which fits with me. And he works hard.
He was really good at one time and he got
lost. I helped him find his way. Sometimes
its more than just the Xs and Os of the
swing.
Results were far from immediate. Snedeker
had his worst year on tour and for the first
time didnt make it beyond the second FedEx
Cup playoff event. Tom Watson wanted him
on the Ryder Cup team for his putting, but
Snedeker played his way out of the conversation.
But he kept working away, never losing
hope he would turn it around. The payoff was

a week at Pebble Beach that was close to perfect, and not just the weather. Snedeker made
one bogey in 72 holes. When he wasnt at his
best, he figured out how to manage.
He did a great job of helping me understand
how I swing the golf club, what I need to do to
be successful, Snedeker said. The great
thing about Butch is hes not technical at all.
He instills confidence in you when you dont
even realize hes doing it. We might have a
three-hour practice session and he might say
one thing about my swing and 15 things
about the mental side of it, what you should
be thinking in certain situations.
Harmon treated Snedeker like any other of
his clients. There were a few technical issues
his swing was getting out of position and
too long at the top but the goal was for
Snedeker to understand the swing and how to
fix it.
The other message from Harmon was to
develop a safe shot when the swing doesnt
feel right. For Snedeker, that was teeing the
ball lower and getting on top of the ball
sooner, a shot that helped him on the back
nine when he seized control and wanted to
keep it.
Harmon loves the old-school work ethic of
Snedeker. He also loves the refreshing pace
with which he plays the game. Snedeker talks
fast and walks even faster. He gives his hips a
quick swivel as he sets up over the ball
maybe that activates his glutes and pulls
the trigger. Standing over putts, he keeps his
eye on the hole as he takes five or six short,
repetitive practice strokes, and then he steps
over the ball and gives it a pop.
That part about him never seems to change.
And it appears to be working again.
Study: educated youth football coaches can cut injuries

By Michael Marot
INDIANAPOLIS A new study shows

young football players are less likely to get
hurt or sustain head injuries when playing
for coaches who have been trained in teaching proper tackling fundamentals.
Last fall, researchers at the Indianapolisbased Datalys Center for Sports Injury
Research and Prevention collected data from
2,108 football players ages 5 to 15. The
organization monitored injuries of 100
teams in 10 youth leagues and four states.
The data showed players who competed
for coaches with training in USA Footballs
Heads-Up Football program are better
protected than those who did not.
USA Football, the sports national gov-
erning body, commissioned the study.

The data show that
players in Heads-Up
leagues were 34 percent
less likely to get a concussion in practice, 29
percent less likely to get
a concussion in a game
Tom Dompier and could greatly reduce
the amount of significant
head impacts each season, perhaps by an
average of 90 fewer hits per season.
Dr. Tom Dompier, the president of Datalys
and the studys chief researcher, believes the
information is so convincing, hes putting it
to use in his own household. The full results
are expected to be released later Monday.
My son is 6 and he played (flag) football
last year and probably will this year. If he

does play tackle football next year, it will
be under two conditions. One is whether we
can find equipment that fits and the second
condition is that the league will have to go
through Heads-Up Football, he told The
Associated Press. After going through
these three years of study, I believe that
coaching education should be mandatory.
Datalys had previously collected data
from about 4,000 youth players in 2012 and
2013. The three-year totals show that 2.8
percent of players ages 5 to 15 were actually diagnosed with concussions and that
only one player in the 5 to 7-year-old age
group actually sustained a concussion during that span.

$118,000 in campaign contributions to officials in the city where it would be located.
Campaign finance forms show the bulk of
the money went to Inglewood Mayor James
T. Butts Jr., a major supporter of the stadium
plan, the Los Angeles Times reported
Monday (http://lat.ms/1ziNcDW ).
San Francisco-based Hollywood Park
Land Co. is developing the proposed
80,000-seat stadium on the site of the former Hollywood Park horse racing track. St.
Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke has been a
partner in the company since last year.
The contributions came during four different campaigns starting in 2006, well before
the recent stadium proposal, though the
group has long planned a retail and residential development on the site. The rest of the
donations went to a pair of city councilmen.
The plan has been moving quickly since it
was proposed in January.
On Thursday, election officials verified
that enough petition signatures had been
gathered for the stadium plan to go before
voters. The vote has not scheduled but could
come this month. It would allow the developers to avoid potentially thorny environmental reviews that could extend for months
or years.
Butts said the contributions have not
influenced the speed of the project.
Wont it be unusual if somebody who had
so many projects in a community, that they
wont want to exercise their free speech to
try and ensure that people are in government
that have good governing sense and business skills? Butts told the Times. I would
find that unusual if they didnt.
Chris Meany, who is part of the development project, said, Its normal and customary for big property owners to be supportive
of the city.
Meanwhile, the San Diego Chargers on
Monday issued a stern warning to their own
City Hall as they look to replace their aging
Qualcomm Stadium.
At t o rn ey Mark Fab i an i , wh o s h an dling the teams stadium push, said there
might not be a publicly acceptable solution to replace aging Qualcomm, and the

If you go strictly by the chalk,
Mills and Half Moon Bay should meet
in the championship game. But the
chalk seldom holds and dont be surprised to see just about anyone in the

Westmoor, the Vikings would face
either defending champ Burlingame or
PAL North co-champion Terra Nova.
Neither of those teams will be an easy

LOS ANGELES Davis Love III is getting another shot as

U.S. captain in the Ryder Cup.
Two people familiar with the decision told The Associated
Press on Monday night that the PGA of America has selected
Love as captain for the 2016 matches at
Hazeltine. They spoke on condition of
anonymity because it has not been
announced.
Golf Channel first reported that Love will
be the next captain.
He is to be introduced on Feb. 24, when
the Honda Classic is held at PGA headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Love led the Americans to a 10-6 lead at
Davis Love III
Medinah in 2012 until Ian Poulter and
Europe staged an improbable rally and matched the greatest
comeback in Ryder Cup history.
This will be the second straight Ryder Cup that the U.S. gets
a repeat captain, and it didnt go so well the previous time. Tom
Watson, at 65, was the oldest Ryder Cup captain and returned
after a 21-year absence.

4 freshman center Ziggy Lauese. Half
Moon Bay might be one of the few
teams who can legitimately matchup
up with the Cherokees and if a Half
Moon Bay-Sequoia seminal does
materialize, it could be one of the
most fun games of the tournament.
On the girls side, defending tournament champion Westmoor has to be
the odds-on favorite to repeat. The
Rams have won back-to-back PAL
North titles and have arguably the
best player in the league in points
guard Yazmeen Goo, who helped lead
the Rams to an undefeated run in
league play.
Westmoor opens the tournament
against Carlmont.
After Westmoor, its kind of a toss
up. If youre looking for a team out of
the PAL South, Menlo-Atherton and
Hillsdale, which nished 1-2 in the
PAL South standings, respectively,
both have a legitimate shot to
advance to the nals.
The Knights, however, will have a
task in the rst round facing Terra
Nova, which had won the previous
four PAL tournament titles before
Westmoor won in 2014.
Menlo-Atherton appears to have
the best shot at meeting the Rams in
the nals. The Bears may be the deepest team in the league and have the
outside-inside game to make some
noise. The post combination of Greer
Hoyem and Ofa Sili make the Bears a
nightmare to guard and they have a
bevy of guards who all average around
eight to 10 points a game.
Armstrong argued his original settlement could not be overturned under
state law. The arbitration majority said
the $10 million was a penalty for
Armstrongs lying and efforts to
intimidate or coerce witnesses in the
previous case.
This award is unprecedented,
Herman said.
Herman noted Lyons dissent said
the panel was not deceived in the original settlement when it signed off on a
voluntary agreement entered by SCA.
There is no Texas case or statute
that allows for this type of sanctions
motion nine years after the award was
given, Lyon wrote in his dissent.
Lyons dissent also attacked SCA,
writing that in 2005 the arbitration
panel had found the company to have

The sleeper in the tournament is

probably Mills, which has arguably
the best 1-2 punch in the PAL in post

Businger. Businger averages a doubledouble and she had her two best game
of the season last week, combining to
score 47 points, including 29 in an
overtime win over Capuchino, and
pulled down 28 rebounds. If the
Vikings can get a consistent third
option, dont be surprised to see them
in the nals.

It was only appropriate his 200th

Pups on parade at Westminster dog show

By Ben Walker
NEW YORK True to his breed, Matisse

the Portuguese water dog likes to play in the
koi fish pond. He enjoys going on long
bicycle runs, chewing Benny Bullys liver
treats and falling asleep on his back.
Pretty standard stuff for a lot of pooches.
Oh, he also got a holiday card from the
White House.
So perhaps it was only fitting Monday
that when the Westminster Kennel Club dog
show started on Presidents Day, the Portie
whos a cousin to Obama family pet Sunny
was the early favorite.
Hes a real dog. He likes to play, he likes
to get dirty, co-owner Milan Lint said. He
just cleans up really well.
At 3 1/2 years old, Matisse indeed has
cleaned up. This is the 400th event hes
entered hes won best in show 238 times,
among the most in canine history.
Spectacular dog, praised popular
Westminster television host David Frei.
On a frigid day in New York, Matisse got
to rest as many of the 2,711 dogs in 192
breeds and varieties stepped into the judging ring at Piers 92 and 94, the exhibition
space stretching into the icy Hudson River.
A shih tzu called Rocket co-owned by
famed and infamous heiress Patty Hearst
won the toy group Monday night at
Madison Square Garden. Swagger the old
English sheepdog, who finished second at
Westminster in 2013, took the herding
group.
Crowd-pleasing beagle Miss P was the
best hound and Flame the standard poodle
won in the nonsporting category.
Matisse is in the working group, which
hes won the past two years at Westminster.
The sporting, working and terrier winners
will be selected Tuesday night, with retired

often gets into the downward dog yoga

position, stretching his back, as he
approaches the judge.
He has that hard to identify quality, that
je ne sais quoi, Lint said.
Lint also was one of the breeders for
Sunny, who in 2013 joined another Portie
named Bo as a pet for President Barack
Obama and his family.
Sunny and Matisse have never met. Not

yet, anyway. But who knows? A few months
after Uno the beagle won Westminster in
2008, he visited President George W. Bush
at the White House.
With a black, curly coat and a spirited
temperament, Matisse mirrors the standards
for an ideal Portuguese water dog. His hair is
done in a traditional lion clip for the breed,
with the muzzle and hindquarters trimmed
close.
Officially, hes GCh grand champion,
in dog parlance Claircreek Impression De
Mattise. Co-owner Donna Gottdenker, an
art lover, named him for famed French artist
Henri Matisse. Peggy Helming is the third
co-owner,
having
co-owned 2004
Westminster
winner
Josh
the
Newfoundland.
Even though the No. 1-rated show dog
wins less than half the time at the Garden,
the math for Matisse is formidable.
Lint, who works in the financial world,
keeps a spreadsheet that documents
Matisses previous 399 career shows: 396
wins in the breed round, 332 victories in the
group competition.
There are certainly characteristics of the
individual exhibit that have driven him to
this degree of winning, Lint said. It doesnt defy the imagination or explanation, but
those are very impressive totals.
Living in Chesapeake City, Maryland,
and guided by expert handler Michael Scott,
Matisse could easily break the best in show
record of 275 wins by Mystique, a German
shepherd that competed into the mid-1990s.
Lint, however, said thats not going to
happen. After Tuesday, the plans are to enter
Matisse in just a few more shows before
retiring.
Were not striving to meet or break that
record, he said. Im a firm believer you
leave a party before a party leaves you.

YOUTH
But the focus of the newest study
was to determine whether coaching education could provide a safer
environment on the field.
Roughly two-thirds of the players who were monitored played for
coaches who had been certified
undergone training with USA
Footballs program.
Seventy-two of the players, ages
9 to 15, also had their helmets fitted with devices to measure the
impact of hits. Following each
practice or game, independent
trainers tracked the information to
determine how many significant
blows to the head each player took.
The study found that the 38 players who participated in Heads-Up
leagues had an average of 2.5 fewer
impacts per practice of at least 10
G-forces. Over a 12-week season
containing three practices per
week, researchers determined that
was about 90 fewer significant hits
per season than those in leagues
that did not undergo training.
The results also showed those
who played for the certified coaches were 76 percent less likely to
get injured and 57 percent less
likely to sustain injuries that kept
them out of action at least 24
hours. Ninety percent of those
players also went uninjured,
according to the study.
In my own mind, I think coach
education is important, and I think
the data collected shows that its
important, Dompier said. I dont
want to promote USA Football
over someone elses program. But
I think its important coaches
receive some training in proper
tackling and equipment fitting.
Dompier noted that other variables could have been a factor in
the results. He said the study did
not determine which helmets were
being used by the leagues and
acknowledged that independent
doctors confirmed all concussion
diagnoses.

Liberia schools reopen after six-month Ebola closure

By Jonathan Paye-Layleh
MONROVIA,
Liberia
Students in Liberia began returning to the classroom Monday after

a six-month closure during the
Ebola epidemic that left thousands
dead, lining up in their uniforms
to have their temperatures taken
before they could enter school
gates.
Pupils who trickled in to Saint
Michael High School on the outskirts of the capital also washed
their hands with chlorinated water
before going inside.
I feel happy to come to school
today because for so long I have
not seen my friends, Albert
Kollie, 18, told the Associated
Press. I am very happy to be
counted among the living and I
pray that Ebola be eradicated from
this country.
Many students said they had
grown tired of sitting at home, and
at least one principal said teenage
pregnancy had spiked during the
six-month school gap. A few,
though, remained a bit fearful
about returning even though there
are just a handful of Ebola cases
left in the country that once saw
100 new patients a week.

We will be afraid to touch each

classroom should not have more
than 45 or 50 students.
Overcrowding is a major problem in Liberias schools, where as
many as 100 pupils may be in a
single classroom. Since Ebola is
spread through direct contact with
bodily fluids, administrators want
to minimize the potential spread.
Health officials have warned that a
single new case could trigger a
whole new cluster of infections.
Nearly 9,200 people have died
since the first Ebola deaths in rural
Guinea in December 2013. The
disease ravaged through Liberia,
Guinea and Sierra Leone - all countries with weak health systems
that were ill-prepared for such an
epidemic.
In Sierra Leone on Monday, the
government promised a full investigation after an internal audit
found that nearly one-third of the
money it received to fight Ebola
was used without saving the necessary receipts and invoices to justify the spending.

Schools start treating e-cigarettes as drug paraphernalia

RICHMOND, Va. Some schools are

getting tougher on e-cigarettes, even punishing possession of the devices more
harshly than regular cigarettes.
The devices, which heat a nicotine solution to create a vapor instead of burning
tobacco, have passed traditional smokes in
popularity among teenagers. Schools are
clamping down because e-cigarettes, sometimes also known as vaporizers, can also be

afford to pay high wages.
Rent keeps going up, but salaries are
not, said Paige Scott, a Redwood City
resident for seven years. Scott works at a
nonprofit making $30,000 a year and says
she has not been able to find affordable
housing in the area. Its impossible to
find housing unless you are a top earner. I
work here. I cant live here.
The situation leads people to stay in
dangerous or unfortunate conditions
because they feel like if they speak up,
HOSPITALS
keep the financially-strapped hospitals
open for only five years. Officials with
Prime have said existing services will be
maintained at the hospitals and have promised to spend $150 million on capital
improvements over the next three years and
protect 7,600 jobs at the acquisitions.
Seton is Daly Citys largest employer
with 1,200 workers.
If it closes, however, the ripple effect
would be disastrous and would be felt by
many more thousands of people, said Daly
City Councilman David Canepa.
Up to 150,000 north county residents
used for illegal substances like marijuana.

Most schools have folded e-cigarettes
into their anti-tobacco policies, which typically punish students with detention, a letter home and sometimes a tobacco education class.
But other schools in states including
North Carolina, New Jersey, Washington
and Connecticut, are grouping the devices
in with bongs and pipes, meaning students
could face long suspensions and required
drug tests and have possession of drug para-
phernalia marked on their school record.

Our goal is to reduce access and discourage use on campus, said Sarah DAnnolfo,
dean of students at The Taft School in
Watertown, Connecticut. The co-ed boarding school amended its policy this school
year to have e-cigarettes fall under its drug
and alcohol policy. A disciplinary committee made up of faculty and students evaluate
violations case-by-case, but they could
result in a weeklong suspension and a mark
on their record rather than a chat with the
dean and school doctor and parental notification.

It definitely sparks conversation within
the school community about e-cigarette use
and the possible dangers and the possible
benefits, DAnnolfo said. That conversation alone is a hugely important learning
opportunity.
According to an annual government survey of more than 41,000 students, e-cigarettes have surpassed traditional smoking
in popularity among teens.
their landlord might retaliate by raising

rent, Scott said, but Reddy said that renting in Redwood City is not all bad.
We have a lot of really good landlords,
and rent stabilization will not affect them
at all, Reddy said.
Lorena Milgarejo, who attended the
march with her daughter, saw her late husband fight the rent control battle in San
Francisco and feels it can have an positive
effect on the community.
What happens to a family, to little
kids, when mom and dad have to live in
another city to work? Milgarejo asked.
The cost of rent is tearing families
apart.
Redwood City is in the process of adding
large numbers of rental units, with new
developments leasing on Main Street,

Veterans Boulevard and El Camino Real
among them. Developments in the harbor
and marina areas are also in the works. The
Housing Leadership Council has been
integral in the inclusion of low-income
units in those developments.
The Lane on the Boulevard apartments
on El Camino, one of the citys newer residential developments, has 141 apartments. Only five of those units are lowincome, however, and those are categorized as median-income housing, meaning
a single renter cannot earn more than
$63,350 per year. As of January, the Lane
on the Boulevard, which charges $2,600
for a one-bedroom unit, reported a 53.5
percent vacancy rate.
Its important to look deeper when you

see that something is labeled as affordable
housing, Reddy said. You have to dig
and find out what category it is, and what
that means. Someone near that upper level
of income certainly doesnt have as much
to worry about as someone at the bottom.
Were going to do this, Milgarejo
said. Its tipping. Its going to take time,
but its going to happen.
Amid the familiar protest chants of s,

looks like when we stand up.
would be without a local emergency room if

it closes, Canepa said.
Our residents would have to go to San
Francisco General, Canepa said.
Seton should remain a full-service acutecare hospital and the deal with Prime should
be approved as soon as possible, he said.
Seton Coastside is a skilled-nursing facility with an emergency room. The nearest
emergency room for coastside residents is
40 minutes away, nurses argue.
Seton Coastside is full of underserved
patients that cant take care ofthemselves,
Amor wrote in the statement.
We dont have enough of these beds in
the county. Where will they go?
Withoutthese hospitals there will be a huge
health care crisis. When hospitals die, people die too, Amor wrote.
Nurses at the Daughters of Charity came
up with a set of guidelines to protect the

hospitals after it became clear they would be
sold.
The conditions are:
Operate all DCHS hospitals as acute care
facilities;
Maintain all existing hospital services;
Give reasonable assurances against a
short-term bankruptcy;
Keep all promises made to retirees; and

Honor caregivers right to collectively
bargain for their mutual aid and patient protection.
Of interested buyers, only Prime satisfied
these conditions, according to the nurses.
The Planning Commission will discuss

the rent control issue at 7 p.m., Tuesday
night, City Hall, 1017 Middlefield Road,
Redwood City.

Few ruleson teacher

vaccinations amid
measles outbreak
By Christine Armario
LOS ANGELES While much of

the attention in the ongoing
measles outbreak has focused on
student vaccination requirements
and exemptions, less attention
has been paid to another group in
the nations classrooms: Teachers
and staff members, who, by and
large, are not required to be vaccinated.
In most states, there is no law
dictating which vaccines teachers
and school staff workers are
required to get. Some states provide a list of recommended vaccines, but there is no requirement
or follow-up for teachers to
receive them.
So when a measles case surfaced
at a California high school, it was
easy for officials to review student
records, but there were no immunization records on file for
employees.
That meant all 24 teachers and
staff exposed to the employee
with measles had to prove their
immunity records that, for
most, were decades old.
The issue has surfaced from time
to time in state legislatures and is
likely to be raised again in
response to the latest outbreak,
which originated at Disneyland in
December and has spread to a half
dozen states and Mexico. Most of
those who fell ill were not vaccinated. As of Friday, public health
officials said 114 people had contracted measles.
I was definitely shocked, Rep.
Joanna Cole, a Democrat in the
Vermont Legislature, said when
she learned in 2012 that there were

no teacher vaccination requirements in her state. There are still
no requirements today. I guess we
all just assumed that they would
have them.
Cole and other legislators and
parents across the U.S. believe the
blanket presumption that teachers
are up to date on their vaccines
should be re-examined. They note
that most of those sickened in the
current outbreak are adults, and
that schools are one of the top
places for the spread of communicable disease.
I will be surprised if we dont
see some changes in the next year
to year and a half, said Kristen
Amundson, executive director of
the National Association of
School Boards of Education.
Already, some states are considering measles legislation. In
Vermont, Democratic Rep. George
Till says legislators will try this
year to eliminate philosophical
exemptions for students and
require that teachers be up to date
on the same vaccines students
must receive.
If were trying to limit the
spread in school, why just students? Till said. A similar bill he
introduced in 2012 was defeated
amid strong opposition from antivaccine groups, and he expects
another battle.
In Colorado, pro-vaccination
groups have been pushing the
Department of Human Services to
require vaccinations for workers at
child care facilities, another area
with uneven employee immunization standards. Measles cases
have been confirmed at day care
REUTERS
Eighty-six percent of scientists say childhood vaccines such as the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine
should be mandatory, compared to 68 percent of the general public.
facilities in Chicago and Santa
Monica, California.
Barbara Loe Fisher, director of
the National Vaccine Information
Center, a Virginia-based nonprofit
that favors letting parents decide
whether to vaccinate, said the discussion on vaccination requirements has started to expand from
schoolchildren to certain adult
professions. She said her organization has a number of concerns
about requiring teacher vaccinations, including safety and job
protection for those who cannot
or choose not to be immunized.
I think at the end of the day, the
most important principle to protect is the right to make an
informed voluntary decision, and
that includes teachers, she said.

At Vista Murrieta High School
in Californias Riverside County,
a middle class community between
Los Angeles and San Diego, all
teachers and staff who had been
exposed to the measles were able
to return to work within one to
three days. Teachers who were
born before 1957 were immediately excused, assuming they had
either had gotten measles as a
child or been exposed to the disease.
Kathy Ericson, president of the
Murrieta Teachers Association,
said the instructors were willing to
do whatever needs to be done to
protect students. But she stopped
short of saying whether vaccina-
tion or proof of immunization

should be required for employment.
Most of us dont have our shot
records, she said. It would be a
hard thing to go back and prove.
Several parents with students in
Murrieta Valley schools said they
believed it was important for
teachers to show proof of immunity or get vaccinated to protect
their children and others too
young or vulnerable to get the
vaccines themselves.
It is everyones responsibility
to keep students healthy and safe,
said Sherrie Zettlemoyer, the
mother of two elementary-school
students. I believe if you can be
vaccinated you should.

ALLVERS
WEEKENED JOURNAL
Comment on
or share this story at
Nath is the founder of Allvers, a

website which offers users the opportunity to find goods online, relying
on a wider list of suppliers than
Amazon without the clutter of searches from Google.
Shoppers can browse a variety of
items they are interested in, such as
cars, clothes or cutlery, define the
design of the items by color, designer
or material, and then let the site run a
search from all applicable retailers
such as Sears, Amazon, Macys or any
other shops offering the items
online.
The goal of the site is to synthesize
and simplify the shopping experience
for users, who are solely interested in
finding the best deals available, and
do not care to be at the mercy of one
search engine or online shop, Nath
said.
The site is in its beta stage of development and there are still kinks to
work out but Nath is pleased with the
progress of the site, which he began
developing with his father almost two
years ago.
Naths father, Naren, is the chief
financial
officer
of
Wayfare
International, a San Mateo-based
online advertising company.
And though Nath has relied on technology borrowed from his fathers
company to power his searches, he
said the idea for Allvers is all his own,
and that he has creative independence
in directing the company.

He appreciates the guidance that his
father provides but also enjoys having the freedom to take the company
in his own direction.
Its been great, I have so much to
learn from him about how to run a
business, Nath said of working with
his father. He gave me a lot of really
useful advice, but at the same time he
let me do what I wanted instead of
micro managing. He let me do it by
myself.
He hopes to continue developing
the site, and start increasing traffic,
which ideally will provide an opportunity to get feedback from shoppers
on how to improve.
He also envisions adding a social
media component to the site, which
would give it the ability to crowdsource good deals from users.
But for now, Nath said he is dedicated to developing his skills as an
entrepreneur, which is easier in this
region than others due to the prominence of innovation and business in
San Mateo County.
And given the access that he has to
resources that others may not, Nath
said it is his responsibility to make
the most out of his opportunity.
A lot of people here are so ambitious to be successful, which I really
love, he said. But there are not
many 15-year-olds that have these
kinds of resources, so that has really
BAN
attorneys office are working with

other nearby cities to determine
whether adopting common policy
would make for more efficient regulation, but should a regional response
not develop quickly, the city could
move ahead with its own policy,
Burlingame may go ahead with its
own regulations in a timely manner to
ensure that legitimate businesses are
not unduly delayed in opening in the
city, according to the report.
Burlingame is preparing to overhaul
its General Plan, the governing document which guides many of its land use
regulations. In this process, city officials are planning to develop clearer
policy on marijuana dispensaries.
But until the city is able to fully
engage in developing an ordinance on
marijuana dispensaries, it is best there
be a period during which the businesses should not be able to open in
Burlingame, according to the report.
The proposed moratorium would
allow at least initial work to begin on
the General Plan update, so that any
regulation of marijuana-related uses in
the city could be brought in line with
the information being gathered as part

implement a ban for as long as 10
months to review the policy surrounding massage parlors and marijuana dispensaries, which could give the city
the time necessary to negotiate the difference in state and national legislation surrounding the businesses.
But according to Kanes report, it is
unlikely that Burlingame would need
all the time the urgency moratorium
would allow.
Burlingame is working with nearby
agencies, such as the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors and surrounding cities, in an effort to develop
policies that are consistent on massage parlors across the region, according to the report.
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier encouraged Burlingame to adopt a version of
the countys massage parlor regulation
ordinance, as it has been successful in
stamping out illegitimate businesses
in unincorporated parts of the county,
Kane and other members of the city
inspired me. As someone who has all

this privilege, I feel the need to do
something with it. Im just really
eager to make my mark now.
Yet despite this grandiose vision,
Nath said he still wants to save time
to be a teenager. As an avid tennis
player and sushi lover who enjoys
math and science classes in school
while developing a stock portfolio,
he said he wants to maintain a broad
base of interests, rather than letting
Allvers consume all his time.
Im totally fine doing stuff like
this for the rest of my life, he said of
building the company. But at the
same time, Im into other stuff, so
maybe in a year or two I can decide
what I really want to do.
Nath is ramping up his search for
colleges and is developing interest in
which universities he might like to
attend. Attending Stanford University
is his dream but he might consider
going to a school on the East Coast as
well.
Though he is committed to getting
Allvers off the ground, he is interested in maintaining a balanced lifestyle
with school and friends.
Its tough, but I think academics
and grades are the prime objective. I
dont want to slip there at all. I think
making good decisions with my time
is crucial, he said. That means
being OK with staying home some
weekends and being dedicated to this
project taking off and getting it to go
places.

of the long-range planning efforts currently underway, according to the
report.
Last month, the council asked the
city staff to investigate a total ban on
all marijuana-related establishments
in Burlingame. A full inspection into
what rights the city has in banning the
businesses will be provided to council
prior to the end of the moratorium so
officials can decide whether it is better
to move ahead with a ban, or address
the issue through general plan amendments.
The report notes residents who have
legally obtained the right to smoke
marijuana under Proposition 215 will
not be impacted by the citys moratorium, should it be adopted.
It does not affect individuals possessing a valid prescription, or health
care facilities that provide in-patient
or residential care, according to the
report.

background, where you can watch and learn.

but knowing where you stand through observation
will give you the upper hand.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You will have an
incredible impact on others. Discuss your intentions
and map out your plans. Your contribution to a favored
cause will result in added respect and recognition.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) If change is
required, you should take action. Waiting

involved with someone for the wrong reasons will
not bring good results. Discuss your feelings, and
make changes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The extra effort needed

dont beat yourself up. The important thing is to keep

serious about your future if you remain stuck in the
same routine and habits. Shake off the cobwebs
and get down to business.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Question your
commitment to someone or something. Its not fair to
lead someone on or to put in half the effort if you have
lost interest. Be true to yourself and what you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Making extra
time for the people who count in your life will be
appreciated. Negotiations will prove to be fruitful.
Strive to excel personally and professionally.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Handling
finances for other people will be risky and
thankless. Without the proper precautions, you
will end up facing some serious losses. Consult a
professional and avoid being blamed.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Rafael De Leon Diaz
Case Number: 125335
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Rafael De Leon Diaz,
aka Rafael De Leon A Petition for Probate has been filed by Carlos De Leon
in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Carlos De Leon be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: April 01, 2015 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of the
petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within the later of either (1) four months
from the date of first issuance of letters
to a general personal representative, as
defined in section 58(b) of the California
Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the
date of mailing or personal delivery to
you of a notice under section 9052 of the
California Probate Code. Other California
statutes and legal authority may affect
your rights as a creditor. You may want
to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine
the file kept by the court. If you are a
person interested in the estate, you may
file with the court a Request for Special
Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an
inventory and appraisal of estate assets
or of any petition or account as provided
in Probate Code section 1250. A Re-
