Skyline College students and
employees are concerned about a
media policy which some feel
restricts their free speech, while
the administration says it plans to
clarify it so people arent afraid to
talk to the media.
The school sent out an email to
Skyline employees last week
informing them that a media poli-
cy has been in place since 2006
at the San Bruno community
college that asks faculty and staff
go through the public relations
department before answering
media questions. The school does
plan on sending out a clarication
that this only applies to talking
about program services, policies
or occurrences on campus and not
to commenting on areas of expert-
ise in ones eld.
If you are approached by the
media to discuss any program
services, policies or occurrences
on the Skyline College campus,
please request that the reporter
submit their questions to you in
writing, it states. Please forward
the questions and your suggested
responses to the Director of
Marketing, Communications and
Public Relations, Cherie Colin.
Please do not agree to conduct
an interview with a member of the
media. If you are asked to be inter-
viewed, please gather information
on what the nature of the interview
is, get the questions the reporter
plans to ask in writing and consult
Cherie Colin. It may be appropri-
ate for you to go ahead and conduct
the interview, but only after hav-

The disputed 7-Eleven that
caused some in a quiet neighbor-
hood to band together in protest
and landed San Mateo in court,
may be closing its doors at the end
of the month as the city and prop-
erty owners are negotiating a set-
tlement.
The city found itself in front of a
Superior Court judge in January
who ruled the council did act
appropriately when it determined
the store at 501 N. San Mateo
Drive was illegally operating in a
residential zone and asked it to
vacate early last year.
Even though the judges ruling
gave the city a leg up, the parties
still have at least two pending lit-
igation matters and City Attorney
Shawn Mason
said he could
not comment on
the status of the
negotiations.
However, a
store manager
confirmed it
would be clos-
ing at the end of
the month and
7-Eleven spokeswoman Margaret
Chabris conrmed it was in discus-
sions with the city. The property
owner Portfolio Development
Partners did not respond to a
request for comment.
Mayor Robert Ross said the
negotiations werent yet complet-
ed, but was pleased with the

Agirl known as M.C. told U.S.
Rep. Jackie Speier her pimp made
$1,500 a night driving her from
state to state selling her body.
Once, she rode to Las Vegas in the
trunk of her car.
It began when she was only 11,
according to the published open
letter Speier saw in the newspaper
by M.C. and another human traf-
cking victim asking Craigslist
to remove their adult services ads
I couldnt believe what I was
reading, said Speier whose desire
to act was compounded by person-
ally meeting another girl who said
she had sex with as many as 14
men for her boyfriend-turned-
pimp.
I shivered at the thought that
was going on to her or any young
person in this country, said
Speier, D-San Mateo.
Speier joined a wide swath of law
enforcement and ofcials Monday
to announce a new San Mateo
County protocol to combat human
trafcking. The protocol grew out
of the countys 2011 Zero
Tolerance Initiative and establish-
es concrete guidelines and stan-
dards for ofcers, dispatchers and
other investigators and first
responders so that there isnt any
question of how to handle victim
calls or where to take them, said
South San Francisco Police Chief
Mike Massoni.

Couple convicted of
plot to rob Los Angeles bank
LOS ANGELES A former Bank of
America manager and her boyfriend
have been found guilty of stealing more
than a half-million dollars from an East
Los Angeles branch by pretending the
woman had a bomb taped to her body.
A federal jury convicted Aurora
Barrera and Reyes Vega on Monday of
bank robbery and conspiracy. Each
faces up to 30 years in prison.
Barrera claimed shed been kidnapped
and forced to wear the device when she
convinced a co-worker to help her
empty the vault back in 2012.
Authorities say the bomb was a real-
istic fake.
Barrera was assistant branch manager
at the time. She and Vega stole about
$565,000 most of which still hasnt
been recovered.
Two co-defendants pleaded guilty in
the case and testied for the prosecu-
tion.
Woman arrested, roosters
seized in cockfight bust
JURUPAVALLEY Authorities say
a Southern California woman has been
arrested and dozens of roosters were
seized after a cockghting and betting
operation was broken up.
The Riverside County Sheriffs
Department said in a statement Sunday
that 40-year-old Jaquelyn Acosta was
arrested at her Jurupa Valley home,
where deputies discovered the cock-
ghting on Saturday night.
About 50 people were detained, and
40 roosters were taken from the scene.
The sheriffs statement says Acosta
was arrested on suspicion of animal cru-
elty, operating an illegal gamecock
ght and other counts.
It was not clear whether she had hired
an attorney, and no phone listings for
Acosta could be found.
California man arrested
in plot to fight in Syria
SEATTLE A California man who
spoke of wanting to bomb the Los
Angeles subway system was arrested
near the Canadian border in
Washington state and charged with
attempting to travel to Syria to ght
alongside Islamic extremists, federal
prosecutors said Monday.
Nicholas Teausant, 20, of Acampo,
Calif., an unincorporated area near
Lodi, was taken off a northbound
Amtrak bus overnight just short of the
border.
Acriminal complaint led in federal
court in Sacramento described him as a
student at San Joaquin Delta
Community College in Stockton and a
member of the National Guard who is
being discharged for failing to meet
basic academic requirements.
Beginning last spring, Teausant
began expressing on his online pho-
tography account a desire to see
Americas downfall, saying I would
love to join Allahs army but I dont
even know how to start, the complaint
said.
Later, he took to another online
forum to say he hoped to ght in Syria,
the document states.
It wasnt immediately clear if
Teausant had a lawyer. He was charged
with a single count of attempting to
provide material support to a foreign
terrorist organization and was due to
appear later Monday in U.S. District
Court in Seattle.
The complaint said he had discussed
numerous other ideas for terrorist activ-
ity that never came to fruition, includ-
ing a plot supposedly hatched during a
camping trip with seven other people
to bomb the Los Angeles subway sys-
tem last New Years Eve or New Years
Day.
Investigators never corroborated that
such a camping trip actually occurred.
When an informant questioned Teausant
on Jan. 4 about what happened to his
plan, Teausant responded that it was
canceled because they had been
tipped off, the complaint said.
The complaint also said he had been
planning since October to support the
efforts of the Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant, a group that has been
ghting in Syrias three-year-old civil
war and is designated by the U.S. State
Department as a terrorist organiza-
tion.

Controller candidate Juan Raigoza has
more time to prove he is qualied for the
position based in part on experience he
accumulated working in the ofce, a judge
ruled Monday.
Raigoza, the current assistant San Mateo
County controller, has until noon Thursday,
March 20 to submit his credentials and a
hearing is set for the following Monday,
March 24.
In his motion for new trial, Raigozas
attorney asked for the extra days to prepare
an adequate response and argued that the
right to run for public ofce is protected by
the First Amendment. Attorney Jim Sutton
also argued that Joe Galligan, Raigozas
opponent who raised the qualication issue,
did not give enough notice prior to a hear-
ing last week which left his client without
time to hire an attorney and review the peti-
tion fully.
Galligans team objected to the extension
under the argument he should have been pre-
pared to hand over the information on
March 6 when he submit-
ted the paperwork and
signatures to qualify for
the ballot.
If a lawyer now needs
more time to gure out if
hes qualied, I just won-
der didnt Juan know his
qualifications when he
led? Galligan said after
the extension hearing.
Galligan petitioned the court last week to
verify Raigoza meets the legal requirements
of the ofce which can be met one of four
ways: Be a Certied Public Accountant; or,
possess a degree from an accredited four-
year institution with a major in accounting
or its equivalent and serve in a senior scal
management position at a private rm, gov-
ernment agency or nonprot for at least
three years straight within the last five
years; or, be certied as a professional inter-
nal auditor with a minimum of 16 semester
units or equivalent in accounting, auditing
or nance; or serve as the county auditor,
chief deputy county auditor or chief assis-
tant county auditor for at least three years
continuously.
Raigoza has an
accounting degree and
MBA and has worked 13
years in the Controllers
Ofce, most recently as
its second-in-command
under appointed
Controller Bob Adler who
is backing his candidacy.
Galligan contends
Raigoza doesnt meet what he believes is
the denition of having ve years in a sen-
ior scal management position. Raigoza
was manager of information systems and
oversaw payroll.
Galligan himself is a certified public
accountant.
Prior to the Monday afternoon hearing,
Raigoza reiterated his credentials in an
email to the Daily Journal and the opportu-
nity to let voters decide who is most quali-
ed to be county controller.

Man nabbed by Facebook post enters plea
A San Mateo man arrested for soliciting
sex from teenagers after two 12-year-olds
recognized his photo on a police-posted
Facebook entry pleaded not guilty to sever-

molestation.
Roberto Miculax, 41, is also charged with

his right to a speedy trial and was ordered
back to court March 26 for a preliminary

nurse while being held on allegations he
inappropriately touched three minors after
walking away from a psychiatric facility is
not competent to stand trial, a judge ruled
after being screamed at by the defendant.
Based on the conclusions of court-
appointed doctors, Judge Mark Forcum
found Daniel Mark Brickman, 51, unable
to aid in his own defense against three mis-
demeanor sexual battery charges in both
cases. He will instead be placed in a mental
facility chosen at an April 15 hearing.
Where exactly Brickman is housed and if
it is locked is a big question for prosecu-
tors. Brickman was previously kept in a
locked facility after allegedly attacking
hospital staff in an earlier case but later
transferred to an unlocked ward from which
he walked away. Brickman could again be
housed locally rather than a state hospital
because his new charges are misdemeanors,
according to Chief Deputy District
Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Guidotti said her ofce will absolutely
be seeking a more secure environment in
light of the recent events.
The legal tug-of-war over Brickmans
mental state began after several weeks in
February 2010 when
Brickman fondled and
grabbed at three nurses,
used sexually coarse
language toward the staff
and, on ve occasions,
masturbated in public
areas of the San Mateo
Medical Center psychi-
atric unit. On Feb. 25,
2010, Brickman grabbed
a 20-year-old female
psychiatric patient and attempted to sexual-
ly assault her until staff forcibly pulled him
off the woman, according to prosecutors.
In 2010, Brickman was convicted of inde-
cent exposure but the next year a judge and
prosecutors agreed to change it to a count of
annoying a minor so he could avoid sex
offender registration and remained housed
in a locked psychiatric facility. Brickman
was sent to such a place but later transferred
to Cordilleras Mental Health Center in
Redwood City where he eventually was
placed in an unlocked portion.
After reportedly going off his medica-
tion, he walked away, ending up in a San
Carlos yogurt shop on Oct. 3, 2012, where
he allegedly touched a 7-year-old boys
biceps and his 4-year-old sisters face.
When the mother called for help, Brickman
reportedly fled and, outside the store,
grabbed a 16-year-old girls buttocks.
Brickman was sent to the psychiatric unit
rather than the jail for holding and 10 days
later allegedly exited his room clad only in
boxers and refused a nurse order to return.
Prosecutors say he lunged at the nurse
who went behind a computer terminal while
a second nurse repeated the order. He
allegedly pushed the second woman up
against the wall and groped her breast with
both hands. When a security guard pulled
him off her, they fell to the ground ghting
until others could control Brickman,
according to prosecutors.
The guard fractured his bula. At a prelim-
inary hearing, the felony assault charge
filed in connection to that injury was
dropped which frustrated prosecutors
because it could keep Brickman from being
committed to a locked state facility if found
incompetent for trial.
At a competency hearing Friday, prosecu-
tors say Brickman lashed out verbally at
Forcum and three transportation deputies.
He remains in custody.

A 26-year-old South San Francisco man
who confronted a woman in her home wear-
ing only boxers just days after being sen-
tenced for a similar crime received four years
in prison for residential burglary.
Rodney Rajiv Narayan accepted a plea
deal in January on the charge with the caveat
he faced up to four years and Friday a judge
imposed that maximum with credit of 448
days earned while in custody on $100,000
bail. He must also pay standard court fees
and nes.
Narayan had already been convicted of
misdemeanor trespassing
and sentenced to 30 days
in jail for similar conduct
just nine days before he
entered the womans
South San Francisco
home using a ladder the
afternoon on Aug. 3 as
she bathed her two young
children.
When confronted, the
woman told her 5- and 8-
year-old children to run and lock themselves
in their room while she followed his com-
mand to come with him. Once downstairs,
the woman slammed and locked a door
behind Narayan and phoned for help. She
hid upstairs and police had to break into the
house where they found Narayan lying on a
bed.
According to the District Attorneys
Ofce, Narayan committed a similar offense
which included grabbing a womans breast
in July. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail
with credit of eight days which put him back
out of custody for one day before reportedly
acting out again. He is also on three years
probation.

A Daly City man accused of violently
assaulting and threatening to kill his par-
ents because they wouldnt let him see their
cat pleaded no contest to felony assault in
return for time served.
Yeygeniy Bolshakov, 26, was sentenced
to 236 days in jail with credit for the same
amount. He also received three years super-
vised probation.
Bolshakov reportedly lived with his par-
ents but had been away
for a few days over the
Thanksgiving holiday
but returned Nov. 30 and
asked to see the family
pet because it recently
had surgery.
The parents, ages 64
and 52, refused and
Bolshakov punched his
father several times in
the head, ripped a chunk
of esh out of the mans arm with his teeth
and bit him on the elbow and chin, accord-
ing to the District Attorneys Ofce.
When Bolshakovs mother tried to inter-
vene, he reportedly hit her several times on
the head and bit the top of her right hand.
He then allegedly threatened to kill them
and burn their house down before police
arrived.
At a preliminary hearing, Bolshakovs
parents refused to testify for prosecutors
and were held in contempt.

Democrats scrap
affirmative action amendment
SACRAMENTO Bowing to pressure
from within their party, Democrats in the
Legislature on Monday
abandoned an attempt to
repeal Californias voter-
approved ban on afrma-
tive action in the states
higher education system.
Assembly Speaker
John Perez said he does
not have enough support
to place the constitution-
al amendment before vot-
ers in November. Instead, he said lawmakers
will form a task force to study the issue of
access to higher education.
California voters passed Proposition 209
in 1996, banning the use of race and ethnic-
ity in public university admissions, state
hiring and contracting. The amendment,
SCA5, was initiated to address the drop-off
in black and Latino college admissions, pri-
marily in the University of California sys-
tem. The fall in enrollment was especially
pronounced in Californias most competi-
tive public schools, UC Berkeley and
UCLA.
San Diego Democrat
chosen as next Assembly speaker
SACRAMENTO The Assembly has
voted to make San Diego Democrat Toni
Atkins its speaker, replacing John Perez.
Perez says a transition date has not been
set but that it will be before summer. The
Los Angeles Democrat is termed out this
year and is running for state controller.
Atkins was elected to run the 80-member
chamber Monday by unanimous voice vote.
She told her fellow lawmakers that improv-
ing education, boosting the economy and
addressing homelessness would be her top
priorities.
She won her seat in 2010 after serving on
the San Diego City Council and has two
years remaining before her term expires.
Atkins will be the third woman to lead the
Assembly.

Victoria or a Buick LeSabre was seen in the area shortly
after the fires started, police said.
Then at 3:54 a.m., another car was set on fire in the first
block of Oak Avenue, according to police.
The suspect is described as a man in his 20s with dark

Police arrived, surrounded the home and arrested a sus-
pect as he came outside holding stolen property, accord-
ing to police.
The suspect was identified by police as 27-year-old
Pacifica resident Kenneth Spoonhunter.
He was booked into jail on suspicion of burglary and
possession of narcotics and also had two felony warrants
for his arrest, police said.
Two displaced by
residential fire in Redwood City
Two people were displaced in a one-alarm residential
fire in Redwood City that started on Sunday night, a fire
battalion chief said.
The fire in the 900 block of Johnson Street was report-
ed around 11:35 p.m., Fire Battalion Chief Michael
OLeary said.
The fire, which started in a bedroom, was under control
by 12:30 a.m., he said.
The single-story home is considered uninhabitable and
two people who lived in residence are receiving assis-
tance from the Red Cross, OLeary said.
The home is near Red Morton Community Park.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is still
under investigation.
Woman who washed
ashore in Pacifica identified
A woman who washed ashore dead at Linda Mar State
Beach in Pacifica on Friday has been identified as Uma
Keshavan, 48, of San Francisco, according to the San
Mateo County Coroners Office.
Keshavan had recently been reported missing out of San
Francisco, a deputy coroner said Sunday.
Keshavans body was retrieved from the surf at the north
end of the beach at about 4:30 p.m., according to Police
Chief Jim Tasa.
The cause of her death remains under investigation.
Woman arrested for DUI
A South San Francisco woman is in custody after
allegedly crashing her car into another parked vehicle on
the 800 block of Maple Avenue in South San Francisco
early Monday morning under the influence of alcohol and
a narcotic, according to police.
At approximately 2:52 a.m., a white Toyota Corolla
driven by Von Iosa Suesue crashed and police discovered
her to be under the influence of alcohol and in possession
of several Oxycontin polls for which she did not have a
prescription, according to police.

WASHINGTON Warning of a cri-
sis in public confidence, former
staffers for an inuential 1975 Senate
committee that investigated CIAabus-
es asked Congress and President
Barack Obama on Monday to form a
new panel to probe missteps by the
nations intelligence agencies.
F.A.O. Schwarz Jr., former chief
counsel for the Church Commission
that led to the creation of todays
Senate and House intelligence over-
sight committees, joined more than a
dozen former congressional aides in
sending a letter Monday to Congress,
Obama and the American public. He
urged Congress to appoint a special
panel to examine the secretive opera-
tions of the CIA and the National
Security Agency and their impact on
Americans civil liberties. He ques-
tioned the effectiveness of recent
intelligence reviews by the Obama
administration and the Senate.
The need for another thorough, inde-
pendent and public congressional inves-
tigation of intelligence activity prac-
tices that affect the rights of Americans
is apparent, Schwarz said. He added:
Misleading statements by agency of-
cials to Congress, the courts and the
public have undermined public trust in
the intelligence community and in the
capacity for the branches of government
to provide meaningful oversight.
The letter comes almost a week after
a rift between the head of the Senate
intelligence committee and CIA of-
cials over competing accusations of
illegal conduct became public.
Chairwoman Sen. Dianne Feinstein,
D-Ca., accused the CIAof intimidation
and breaching its constitutional
authority after the agencys director
and top lawyer led a criminal com-
plaint with the Justice Department
about the mishandling of classified
documents by Senate staffers.
The standoff is at its core a battle
over who owns the ofcial history of
one of the darkest eras in American
spying the waterboarding and brutal
interrogations of al-Qaida prisoners in
undeclared, black site prisons
abroad. It has bared long-standing
institutional failures and simmering
tensions between the executive branch
and Congress.

NEWYORK Researchers say they
have spotted evidence that a split-sec-
ond after the Big Bang, the newly
formed universe ballooned out at a
pace so astonishing that it left behind
ripples in the fabric of the cosmos.
If conrmed, experts said, the dis-
covery would be a major advance in the
understanding of the early universe.
Although many scientists already
believed that an initial, extremely
rapid growth spurt happened, they
have long sought the type of evidence
cited in the new study.
The results reported Monday emerged
after researchers peered into the faint
light that remains from the Big Bang
of nearly 14 billion years ago.
The discovery gives us a window on
the universe at the very beginning,
when it was far less than one-trillionth
of a second old, said theoretical physi-
cist Lawrence Krauss of Arizona State
University, who was not involved in
the work. Its just amazing, Krauss
said. You can see back to the begin-
ning of time.

Feds: 9/11 masterminds
testimony should be barred
NEW YORK Prosecutors on Monday
tried to stop the self-described mastermind of
the Sept. 11 attacks from providing testimo-
ny at the terrorism trial of Osama bin Ladens
son-in-law.
The government submitted written argu-
ments asking U.S. District Judge Lewis A.
Kaplan to exclude the words of Khalid Sheik
Mohammed from Sulaiman Abu Ghaiths trial.
Abu Ghaith is on trial on charges he con-
spired to kill Americans and aided al-Qaida as
the terror groups spokesman after Sept. 11.
The 48-year-old onetime imam at a Kuwaiti
mosque was brought to New York from Turkey
last year.
Prosecutors said defense lawyers should be
blocked from calling Mohammed as a witness
through live, closed-circuit video from
Guantanamo Bay, where he is imprisoned.
Obama says path to
Mideast peace challenging
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama
pressed visiting Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas Monday to help break the
logjam to elusive Mideast peace talks,
acknowledging with a deadline fast approach-
ing that the task ahead is very hard, its very
challenging.
Were going to have to take some tough
political decisions and risks if were to move
it forward, Obama said at the start of his Oval
Ofce meeting with the Palestinian leader.
My hope is that we can continue to see
progress in the coming days and weeks.
The White House meeting marked a renewed
foray into a diplomatic mineeld that the
president has mostly left up to his secretary
of state, John Kerry.
With just weeks left before a U.S.-imposed
April deadline for completing a framework for
peace talks, Obama is hoping presidential
pressure might overcome a growing sense of
pessimism on both sides. Just two weeks ago,
Obama held a similar meeting with Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which
he urged Israel to make tough decisions.
Frozen for 1,600
years, Antarctic moss revived
WASHINGTON Scientists have revived a
moss plant that was frozen beneath the
Antarctic ice and seemingly lifeless since the
days of Attila the Hun.
Dug up from Antarctica, the simple moss
was about 1,600 years old, black and looked
dead. But when it was thawed in a British labs
incubator, something happened. It grew
again.
British Antarctic Survey ecologist Peter
Convey said the moss was visibly greening
with new shoots after three weeks. He said
scientists didnt do anything to make it grow
except squirt it with distilled water.

KIEV, Ukraine Ignoring the
toughest sanctions against Moscow
since the end of the Cold War, Russian
President Vladimir Putin recognized
Ukraines Crimean Peninsula as an
independent and sovereign country
on Monday, a bold challenge to
Washington that escalates one of
Europes worst security crises in years.
The brief decree posted on the
Kremlins website came just hours
after the United States and the
European Union announced asset
freezes and other sanctions against
Russian and Ukrainian officials
involved in the Crimean crisis.
President Barack Obama warned that
more would come if Russia didnt stop
interfering in Ukraine, and Putins
move clearly forces his hand.
The West has struggled to nd lever-
age to force Moscow to back off in the
Ukraine turmoil, of which Crimea is
only a part, and analysts saw
Mondays sanctions as mostly ineffec-
tual.
Moscow showed no signs of inch-
ing in the dispute that has roiled
Ukraine since Russian troops took
effective control of the strategic Black
Sea peninsula last month and support-
ed the Sunday referendum that over-
whelmingly called for annexation by
Russia. Recognizing Crimea as inde-
pendent would be an interim step in
absorbing the region.
Crimea had been part of Russia since
the 18th century, until Soviet leader
Nikita Khrushchev transferred it to
Ukraine in 1954 and both Russians
and Crimeas majority ethnic Russian
population see annexation as correct-
ing a historic insult.
Ukraines turmoil which began in
November with a wave of protests
against President Viktor Yanukovych
and accelerated after he ed to Russia in
late February has become Europes
most severe security crisis in years.
Russia, like Yanukovych himself,
characterizes his ouster as a coup, and
alleges the new authorities are fascist-
minded and likely to crack down on
Ukraines ethnic Russian population.
Pro-Russia demonstrations have bro-
ken out in several cities in eastern
Ukraine near the Russian border,
where the Kremlin has been massing
troops.
Putin recognizes Crimean independence

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
Officials revealed a new timeline
Monday suggesting the final voice
transmission from the cockpit of the
missing Malaysian plane may have
occurred before any of its communica-
tions systems were disabled, adding
more uncertainty about who aboard
might have been to blame.
The search for Flight 370, which van-
ished early March 8 while ying from
Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 peo-
ple on board, has now been expanded
deep into the northern and southern
hemispheres. Australian vessels
scoured the southern Indian Ocean and
China offered 21 of its satellites to help
Malaysia in the unprecedented hunt.
With no wreckage found in one of
the most puzzling aviation mysteries
of all time, passengers relatives have
been left in an agonizing limbo.
Investigators say the Boeing 777
was deliberately diverted during its
overnight ight and ew off-course for
hours. They havent ruled out hijack-
ing, sabotage, or pilot suicide, and are
checking the backgrounds of the 227
passengers and 12 crew members as
well as the ground crew for personal
problems, psychological issues or
links to terrorists.
Malaysian Defense Minister
Hishammuddin Hussein said finding
the plane was still the main focus, and
he did not rule out that it might be dis-
covered intact.
The fact that there was no distress
signal, no ransom notes, no parties
claiming responsibility, there is
always hope, Hishammuddin said at a
news conference.
Malaysian Airlines CEO Ahmad
Jauhari Yahya said an initial investiga-
tion indicated that the last words
ground controllers heard from the
plane All right, good night
were spoken by the co-pilot, Fariq
Abdul Hamid. A voice other than that
of Fariq or the pilot, Zaharie Ahmad
Shah, it would have been clearest indi-
cation yet of something amiss in the
cockpit before the flight went off-
course.
New uncertainty about missing Malaysian plane
By Matthew Lee
WASHINGTON Unsuccessful with previous threats,
the United States and its European allies stepped up their
pressure on Russia to end its intervention in Ukraine on
Monday by imposing the most comprehensive sanctions
against Russian ofcials since the Cold War.
Acting in concert with Europe, the Obama administra-
tion froze the U.S. assets of seven Russian ofcials,
including top advisers to President Vladimir Putin, for
their support of Crimeas vote to secede from Ukraine,
while similar sanctions were imposed on four Ukrainian
ofcials for instigating Sundays Crimean referendum.
Although the threat of sanctions has failed thus far to
persuade Putin to drop support for Crimeas secession and
potential entry into the Russian Federation or to pull
back from threatening military moves near Ukraines
south and east President Barack Obama said failure to
step back now would draw move severe consequences.
If Russia continues to interfere in Ukraine, we stand
ready to impose further sanctions, Obama declared at the
White House shortly after the penalties were announced.
He noted that Vice President Joe Biden would be traveling
to Europe late Monday to reassure Eastern European lead-
ers of Americas commitment to them and that he himself
would be going next week on a previously planned trip to
make a similar point. Secretary of State John Kerry also is
expected in Europe in the coming days.
Well continue to make clear to Russia that further
provocations will achieve nothing except to further iso-
late Russia and diminish its place in the world, he said.
The international community will continue to stand
together to oppose any violations of Ukrainian sover-
eignty and territorial integrity, and continued Russian
military intervention in Ukraine will only deepen
Russias diplomatic isolation and exact a greater toll on
the Russian economy.
But administration critics said Obamas actions were
too little to convince Putin of anything.
I think Vladimir Putin must be encouraged by the
absolute timidity, said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who
had just returned from a weekend trip to Kiev.
I dont know how it could have been weaker, besides
doing nothing seven people being sanctioned after
naked aggression has taken place, he told MSNBC.
Shortly after Obamas comments, Putin recognized
Crimea as a sovereign and independent country.

OPINION 9
By Sabrina Brennan
F
or decades, the San Mateo
County Harbor Patrol has
provided emergency
response on both the Bay and the
ocean. Through its highly trained
Harbor Patrol, the Harbor District is
the only agency that stations
search and rescue vessels on the
coast. Emergency response is vital
for recreational boating, commer-
cial fishing, surfing, kayaking,
kiteboarding and windsurfing. The
Harbor Patrol saves lives and, for
this reason and many others, the
Harbor District is a necessary spe-
cial district. But sometimes whats
most important gets lost in the
shuffle of upper management and
contentious board meetings.
Battle to preserve
our fishing heritage
Does a vibrant local fishing
industry add to your quality of life?
If so, you should know fees at Pillar
Point Harbor are so high that some
of our commercial fishermen are
going to ports in other counties.
In 2012, Harbor Commissioners
Jim Tucker, Robert Bernardo and
Will Holsinger approved the high-
est fish buying fees in California
and local fishermen are outraged
over it.
Commercial fisherman Steve Fitz,
and the HMB Seafood Marketing
Association, oppose the new fees
for fish offloaded at Johnson Pier.
No other harbor in the state impos-
es fees as high as those at Pillar
Point. Monterey Harbor charges
much lower fees and Pier 45 in San
Francisco does not charge any fees.
In 2012, fishermen were promised
the Harbor District would evaluate
and adjust non-competitive fees tied
to long-term leases. The commis-
sioners have had ample time to cor-
rect the problem, however, they
appear unwilling to reconsider their
policy decision.
In 2013, Bettencourt Fisheries, a
fourth generation commercial fish-
ing company asked the San Mateo
County Civil Grand Jury to investi-
gate leasing deals in Pillar Point
Harbor. As the highest bidder for a
fish-buying lease, theyre angry the
district gave leases to companies
bidding considerably less.
After seven years at Oyster Point
Marina, slip tenant Erik Simonson
recently moved his boat. He and
other tenants are angry about what
they describe as poor management,
inadequate communication, a dra-
matic increase in
slip rent automati-
cally withdrawn
from their bank
accounts, lost rent
checks resulting
in liens on their
boats, delays with
deposit refunds
and musical chairs
with boats being relocated to differ-
ent slips multiple times a month.
Video coverage terminated
With so many unhappy con-
stituents, meetings have become
acrimonious. How does the commis-
sion handle that?
Last summer, the board voted 3-2
to terminate videotaping meetings.
Tucker reasoned that a contract with
Pacifica Community Television
should end because, Its like a fun-
gus.
The decision resulted in the public
volunteering to live-stream meet-
ings. YouTube videos have become
an embarrassment because the pub-
lic doesnt always provide neutral
video coverage. Hopefully, commis-
sioners will bring back profession-
al video broadcasting soon.
Is the district
mired in the past?
I included LinkedIn and Twitter
links in my biography on the dis-
trict website. The other commis-
sioners objected and voted to
instruct the districts legal counsel
to investigate whether those con-
tact methods should be removed.
After disagreeing with in-house
counsels report of no problem,
the board approved Holsingers
request to waste more public
resources by asking the commis-
sion to pursue it through the attor-
ney general.
What should the
Harbor District look like?
Commercial fishing is a difficult
and risky endeavor, and independent
fishermen are an endangered
species. Increasingly, restrictive
regulations, decreasing fish popula-
tions and foreign competition have
forced many fishermen out of busi-
ness. Nevertheless, local fleet
members have been at the forefront
of efforts to ensure fish populations
remain healthy by using sustainable
harvesting practices.
The Coastside Fishing Clubs pro-
gram of releasing baby salmon at
Pillar Point Harbor is the kind of
action that helps our ecosystem and
local fishermen. This type of stake-
holder initiative deserves continued
support from public agencies.
The Harbor District can help the
local economy and community in
the following ways: promote sus-
tainable seafood, attract coastal
tourism, provide environmental
education and support the Harbor
Patrol search and rescue team.
Ideally, a marketing program could
promote harbor business and
increase ferry ridership, which
would raise revenue while increas-
ing job growth.
Before we consider such forward-
looking ideas, we need to address
the basics. The master plan is 23
years old. It envisions major capi-
tal projects that are no longer rele-
vant. Minor improvements like
sidewalks or a new hoist are delayed
and bungled. Sewage leaks are not
reported to the commission. We
waste huge sums on office rent.
Checks from tenants are lost in a
drawer for months. Accounting con-
trols are ignored. Most important-
l y, our harbor constituents are
extremely discontent.
Despite frustrations this past year
Ive managed to accomplish goals.
I successfully made the case for
bringing Wi-Fi to both Oyster
Point and Pillar Point, and the
board recently approved Wi-Fi in a
unanimous vote. I made the case for
a new strategic plan to replace the
outdated 1991 Master Plan, and I
discovered a leaky sewage pipe
under Johnson Pier that is now
being replaced. Im working on
reviving a sidewalk widening proj-
ect that was shelved years ago. If
approved, the sidewalk would pro-
vide small business that lease from
the district with additional space for
outdoor caf tables at Pillar Point
Harbor.
The Harbor Commission answers
to all the voters of San Mateo
County. This November, I expect
well have several worthy candi-
dates. I hope voters will look close-
ly at the incumbents and chal-
lengers and make an informed deci-
sion.

Preserving the fishing industry at the Harbor District
Checks and balances
T
his job never fails to surprise. Just when I think
I have a handle on how all the wheels of govern-
ment creak and turn, a thrown wrench highlights
that old adage about making assumptions.
The most recent revelation was that the county
Elections Office doesnt verify the qualifications of can-
didates for elected office. That job falls on the shoulders
of opponents and, ultimately, a judge. Unless another
contender raises questions and points fingers, the
process is at its core an honor system. Check a box,
sign a line and certify you meet the legal requirements
of that particular office. As long as the signatures are
valid and this the Elections Office does verify all
is good.
At least until someone
cries foul.
Then everybody
involved gets to lawyer
up, spend some money and
wait to see who and what
will be printed on the
final ballot.
The news that the
Elections Office doesnt
have some greater verifi-
cation process came to
light last week when one
controller candidate ques-
tioned the credentials of
another. Unlike some
county offices that have
some pretty basic mandates high school diploma or
law degree, for instance the controller qualification
list looks more like a dreaded high school math problem
with four different ways to meet the mark. Three aspects
are black and white: Certified public accountant,
accounting degree, serving as assistant controller for at
least three years. Not much quibbling about those. But
then theres that pesky five years in senior fiscal man-
agement position caveat. Shades of gray.
Chief Elections officer Mark Church said that is a
decision best left in the hands of the court as has been
the commonly accepted practice in San Mateo County
and in several other California counties. The state does-
nt give elections officials any greater definition of the
legislative intent which is why Church said its best left
to the court to make a final and objective ruling on such
subjective criteria.
But the day the Daily Journal first reported the con-
troller court petition, much of the reader response was
not about whether the questioned candidate really does
meet the threshold but why in the heck a judicial review
is even necessary.
What does the Elections Office even do and what
authority its chief officer has was one question. Does
the office even check out a candidates voter status and
residency? Another wondered how the parties can even
head to court if the Elections Office didnt first take a
stand on which an argument can be made. Others said
that while proper perhaps it just looks a little iffy. One
wanted to know his options if he personally wanted to
verify that a candidate is what he or she says she is.
Would he have to spend his own money filing a lawsuit,
too?
In other words, the controller candidates are in ques-
tion but for some it is the Elections Office in the hot
seat.
I took the questions directly to Church since the ins
and outs of elections operations and law are way above
my pay grade. Each candidate signs a paper declaration
of candidacy certifying he or she is qualified and, while
it is not under penalty of perjury, the signer could be
dinged for falsifying documents, Church said.
Church also said he has the authority not to qualify a
candidate if it is crystal clear the person falls short on a
requirement for which there is no wiggle room admit-
tance to the state Bar, for example, although he adds
those are generally not where the issues fall. And would
Jane and Joe Public need a trip to court to verify the
folks on the ballot? Each case is different, Church said.
The bottom line is while the initial quandary is
whether the controllers race will be contested this term,
the lingering questions for some constituents are much
more puzzling.
At least one of these two should be resolved in the
next week. After all, the most surprising thing about
these elected jobs should never be that the office holders
arent qualified.

NEW YORK Investors were able
to put aside the ongoing political tur-
moil in Ukraine on Monday to focus
on a bit of good news on the U.S.
economy.
Stocks ended sharply higher, helped
by a report that showed factory output
rebounded last month.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 181.55 points, or 1.1 percent,
to 16,247.22. The Standard & Poors
500 index rose 17.70 points, or 1 per-
cent, to 1,858.83 and the Nasdaq com-
posite rose 34.55 points, or 0.8 per-
cent, to 4,279.95.
The markets gains were broad. All
30 members of the Dow and all 10
industry groups of the S&P 500 rose.
Technology stocks were among the
biggest gainers, led by Yahoo, which
rose 4 percent. Yahoo owns a quarter of
the Chinese e-commerce website
AliBaba, which announced plans to go
public in the U.S. While relatively
unknown in the U.S., AliBaba is one
of the worlds most-trafcked websites
in the worlds second-largest econo-
my. Yahoo rose $1.51 to $39.11.
Other tech stocks also rose, includ-
ing Microsoft, Google and Amazon.
Mondays advance comes after
stocks spent much of last week in
retreat. The major indexes fell roughly
2 percent, their worst week since
January, on concerns that the tensions
between Ukraine and Russia could boil
over. Those tensions are no closer to
being resolved, but so far armed con-
ict does not appear to be in the cards.
Crimeans overwhelmingly voted
Sunday in favor of Crimea breaking
away from Ukraine to return to
Russia. While destabilizing to
Ukraine, the results were what
investors and international observers
widely expected. More importantly,
the controversial vote, while widely
considered illegitimate by the inter-
national community, happened with-
out any major violence.
Russia got what it wanted without
having to take Crimea by force, said
Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist
with S&P Capital IQ.
Both the White House and the
European Union announced sanctions
and visa restrictions against several
Russian ofcials as a result of the ref-
erendum. The U.S. imposed sanctions
on seven Russian government ofcials
as well as four Ukrainians, including
former Ukrainian President Viktor
Yanukovych. The EU slapped travel
bans and asset freezes on 21 people
from Russia and Crimea.
With the Crimean vote behind them,
U.S. investors exited their traditional
safe havens to return to riskier parts of
the market. Bond prices fell, pushing
the yield of 10-year Treasury note up to
2.70 percent from 2.66 percent Friday.
The price of gold fell modestly.
Utilities, a popular industry sector
in times of uncertainty, rose less than
the rest of the market. The Dow Jones
Utility Average, which tracks the per-
formance of 15 utility companies, rose
0.7 percent on Monday versus the S&P
500s 1 percent gain.
Back in the U.S., investors got a
dose of good news on economy.
The Federal Reserve said factory out-
put rebounded in February after harsh
winter storms caused a steep drop-off
in January. Manufacturers produced
more autos, home electronics and
chemicals. The 0.6 percent rise was
triple the increase that economists had
expected.
Its another small piece of evidence
that the economy is beginning to thaw
from the winter, said Jack Ablin,
chief investment officer at BMO
Private Bank, which oversees $66 bil-
lion in assets.
The Federal Reserve will hold a two-
day policy meeting starting Tuesday.
Investors expect the central bank to
pull back further on its bond-buying
economic stimulus program, as it has
done for the last two meetings. The Fed
will announce its decision Wednesday.
Stocks jump as worries over Crimea vote fade
Yahoo stock surges in
anticipation of Alibaba IPO
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo is
getting another lift from its stake
Chinas Alibaba Group, a thriv-
ing Internet company that has
helped mask Yahoos own finan-
cial funk.
Investors latched on to Yahoo
Monday in anticipation of a huge
windfall from Alibabas initial
public offering of stock later this
year. Alibaba triggered the latest
wave of excitement about its
forthcoming IPO with a Sunday
announcement of its intention to
list its stock on a U.S. exchange
instead of in Hong Kong. The
precise timing of the IPO is still
unclear, although the documents
for the filing are expected to be
filed within the next six months.

WASHINGTON The Janet
Yellen era at the Federal Reserve
begins in earnest this week with a
two-day meeting, a policy state-
ment and fresh economic fore-
casts. Yet all that will be a prelude
to the marquee event: Yellens rst
news conference as Fed chair.
The nancial world will be pars-
ing every word for any hint of a
policy shift.
Will Yellen, having succeeded
Ben Bernanke, embrace
Bernankes approach of keeping
rates low while gradually paring
the Feds economic stimulus?
Or, as some speculate, might
she prove even more inclined than
Bernanke to favor low rates to try
to accelerate job growth, even at
the risk of high ination?
No major announcements are
expected when the meeting ends
Wednesday. But many analysts
think the Fed could make one
change in its statement: They
think it may drop any reference to
an unemployment rate that might
cause the Fed eventually to raise
short-term rates. Eliminating that
reference would help the Fed maxi-
mize its exibility on rates.
The Feds most recent policy
statement said it planned to keep
short-term rates at record lows
well past the time the unem-
ployment rate falls below 6.5 per-
cent. The rate is now 6.7 percent.
But several Fed officials have
recently suggested scrapping the
6.5 percent threshold and instead
describing more general changes
in the job market and ination
that might trigger a rate increase.

DETROIT General Motors
issued a new recall of 1.5 million
vehicles Monday, part of an effort
to assure buyers that its moving
faster to x safety defects in its
cars and trucks.
In a video message to
employees posted Monday,
CEO Mary Barra said the new
recall resulted from a push to
review potential safety issues
and resolve them more quickly.
Its part of the fallout from the
recall last month of more than 1.6
million small cars for defective
engine switches. The defect is
linked to 12 deaths, and GM is fac-
ing multiple investigations into
how it handled the recall. GM rst
began investigating the switches
in 2004.
Something went wrong with

With Capuchino entering league play
Tuesday riding a ve-game winning streak,
junior Joe Galea has emerged as a corner-
stone southpaw for the Mustangs.
Galea was pivotal in each of Caps three
wins last week. Over the course of two
games on March 11 and 12, he went 4 for 7
at the plate in wins over St. Ignatius and
Evergreen Valley. Although he went hitless
on March 14 against Riordan, the left-han-
der got it done on the mound by ring a four-
hit shutout.
Its because of these feats that Galea has
been named the San Mateo Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
Every time Joe goes out there hes a com-
petitor, Capuchino manager Matt Wilson
said. It helps a little bit that youre under
the lights at San Bruno Park with the whole
town out there and its a [West Coast
Athletic League] team. But thats how Joe is
every game. Hes a competitor and he
really showed up.
With the win, Galea improved his record
to 3-0 with a 0.64 ERA. He has worked 22
innings while allowing 11 hits and striking
out 26.
Yet the San Bruno native insists his suc-
cess, and the success of Capuchino in start-
ing the year with an 8-2 record, is because of
the outstanding defense behind him.
Our defense was nails, Galea said of
Caps win over Riordan. Any ball that was
hit at somebody or near somebody, they
made a play. It wasnt all me. It is denitely
defense that lets our pitchers go seven
innings.
Even though he kept the Crusaders off the
scoreboard, Galea worked out of trouble
through most of the early innings. In the
fth, Riordan loaded the bases with one out.
And when senior Nick Healey skied a shot
to center, it looked like Riordan might
break it open. However, Cap center elder
Riley Gibbons came streaking in to make a
clutch running catch. On the following
play, shortstop Rory McDaid wrestled a
one-hop seed at his feet to retire the side.

punch of the Mustangs pitching rotation

Capuchino left-hander Joe Galea went the distance March 14 to shut out Riordan.The junior
has helped the Mustangs to ve straight wins heading into PAL Ocean play,Tuesday.
TEMPE, Ariz. Josh Hamilton returned
for Los Angeles, and Kole Calhouns big
swing lifted the Angels to the spring win.
Not a bad day at all for Mike Scioscias
club.
Hamilton had an ineld single in his
rst spring game in the Angels 8-7 victo-
ry over the San Francisco Giants on
Monday. Calhoun belted a winning two-
run homer off Jean Machi with one out in
the ninth.
Hamilton went 1 for 3 for the split
squad. The ve-time All-Star and 2010 AL
MVP has been hampered by a sprained left
calf muscle.
Hamilton started a three-run fourth
inning against Tim Lincecum with a base
hit off rst baseman Mark Minicozzis
glove. The designated hitter also bounced
into a force play in the rst and lined to
right in the fth.
Hamilton told reporters by phone that
he felt good after his rst outing.
I got on base and I tried to steal and did
the things Im supposed to be doing. he
said.
Hamilton took off from rst on a 3-2
pitch to David Freese in the fourth, but
Freese was hit by the pitch.
Hamilton struggled last season, hitting
.250 with 21 homers and 79 RBI after
signing a ve-year, $125 million con-
tract. He hit .285 with 43 homers and 128
RBIs in 2012 in his nal season with
Texas.

fortable.

It has been a wild year for winning streaks
and Oklahoma Baptist baseball is right in
the mix for one of the most notable in the
nation.
The Bisons won 22 straight games to
start the year and reached two milestones in
the process. With a March 13 doubleheader
sweep against Roosevelt University, the
Oklahoma Baptist win streak set a record for
the best start in program history with the
21st win. Then the team reached the plateau
for the programs most consecutive wins at
any juncture of the season with its 22nd
straight before nally losing a game to
Northwood University March 14.
How does this pertain to Bay Area base-
ball? The Bisons just happened to be fueled
by four San Mateo Country baseball players
Matt Page, Julian Merryweather, Steven
Knudson and Cory Faubel.
Page a Serra grad and transfer from
Skyline College is in the process of
amassing one of the
greatest careers in the
history of the NAIA pro-
gram. The sweet-swing-
ing lefty earned NAIA
Player of the Year honors
as a junior in 2013 when
he led the Bisons to with-
in one win of advancing
to the NAIAWorld Series.
This year, Page is pick-
ing up right where he left
off. Anchoring the
Oklahoma Baptist lineup hitting in the No.
3 spot of the order, the senior entered into
play yesterday hitting .487 with six home
runs and 34 RBIs through 24 games.
Hes got kind of a target on his back, but
so far hes been outstanding for us,
Oklahoma Baptist manager Bobby Cox
said.
With a long line of Bisons All-American
rst basemen having preceded him, Page
had some huge shoes to ll. Previous to his
arrival, Oklahoma Baptist had boasted three
consecutive All-Americans at the position.
He replaced 2011 All-American Daniel
Batista at rst, who replaced 2010 honoree
Anthony Lopez. And Lopez replaced Josh
Colazao, who earned the honor as a junior
in 2008 and was named a second-team All-
American in 2009.
Well, Page has delivered. In fact, it was
his swing of the bat that cinched consecu-
tive win No. 20 for the Bisons. In a 2-1 win
over rival Oklahoma Wesleyan on March
13, the game went into the bottom of the
ninth deadlocked at 1-1. With Page leading
off the inning, he promptly rocketed an
inside fastball over the left-center wall for a
walk-off home run.
Hes just that kind of kid, Cox said. He
thrives on pressure and RBI situations.
Those kind of guys can be hard to nd.
Before transferring from Skyline, Page
battled through injuries throughout his
sophomore year. And his numbers reected
it as he hit .287 with three home runs and 23
RBIs. When he initially arrived at
Oklahoma Baptist, he paled even further.
According to Cox, Page
hit for about a .100 aver-
age in fall ball. But he
still cracked the opening
day lineup in 2013 and
immediately started tear-
ing it up.
It was one of those
deals when the light
switch went on and hes
been going ever since,
Cox said.
This year, Oklahoma
Baptist added plenty of repower to protect
Page in the batting order. Knudson is an El
Camino grad who went on to play at Caada
College in 2012. It was there he paired with
then-sophomore Zack Turner now the
senior cleanup hitter at USF as one of the
most prolific power-hitting tandems in
California Community College baseball.
The duo finished one-two in the Coast
Pacic Conference race for the home run
crown. Knudson nished second only to

Will Johnston, Sacred Heart Prep baseball
The junior hurled his nest game of the
year in a March 13 win over Harbor.
Johnston tabbed a three-hit shutout while
striking out six to earn his rst win of the
season. He currently owns a 0.64 ERA and
has allowed just ve hits over 11 innings on
the year.
Lauren Quirke, Hillsdale softball
The third baseman helped the Knights
jump out to an undefeated 4-0 record with
two wins last week, going 4 for 8 with six
RBIs. She tabbed a four-RBI game in a
March 12 win over Wilcox and is currently
hitting .400 (6 for 15) on the season.
Brett Berghammer, Half Moon Bay baseball
What a week for the senior center elder as
Berghammer went 7 for 12 with four RBIs
and a pair of doubles. He tabbed a pair of
three-hit games against each Kings
Academy on March 13 and against Harbor
on March 15. In addition to owning one of
the coolest names in the Peninsula Athletic
League, Berghammer is hitting .524 with
nine runs scored and six RBIs through seven
games this season.
Dane Vande Gutche, CSM baseball
The Bulldogs went 2-1 last week and
Vande Gutche is a big reason why. The soph-
omore second baseman was 6 for 11 through
three games and tabbed ve RBIs and three
steals. With CSM owning an amazingly bal-
anced lineup this season, Vande Gutche is
one of ve Bulldogs tied for the team lead
with nine RBIs. Three other Bulldogs rank
behind the team-leading quintet with eight
RBIs apiece.
Natalie Saucedo, CSM softball
No.1-ranked CSM currently owns a 22-
game winning streak and Saucedo has been
the teams central source of power. In three
games last week, the sophomore went 3 for
8 with a pair of home runs and seven RBIs.
She is now hitting .471 on the year with
eight bombs and 38 RBIs in 22 games.
Kyle Barret, Carlmont baseball
It was a perfect 7-for-7 week for the Scots
senior shortstop, who is now hitting .640
on the year. In Carlmonts 11-3 win over
Bishop ODowd on March 13, Barret was 4
for 4 with two home runs and six RBIs. He
backed that up with a 3-for-3 performance in
a March 15 loss to Palo Alto.
Lusi Stanley, Mills softball
The Vikings came out on the short end of
a 14-13 loss to Aragon on March 14, but
Stanley was denitely in the mix for the
player of the game. The Mills center elder
went 3 for 4 with a pair of impressive home
runs and totaled seven RBIs. She also made
and outstanding defensive play in the rst
inning by tracking down a deep y ball on
the run to stie an Aragon rally.
Nicole Briedis, Aragon softball
Briedis emerged as the player of the game
in Aragons 14-13 win over Mills last week
as the senior ripped a walk-off hit in the
bottom of the seventh to plate both the
tying and winning runs. With the Dons off
to a 2-0 start, Briedis also had a key hit in
the game-winning rally in the seventh to
cap an 8-7 win over Palo Alto on opening
day.
Jesus Jimenez, South City baseball
Not only did the junior second baseman
go 5 for 11 with four doubles over three
games for the Warriors last week, Jimenez
also got it done on the mound, tabbing the
win in a March 11 victory over Westmoor.
The right-hander worked six innings while
punching out nine Rams batters to earn his
rst win of the season.
Christina Patton, Woodside softball
Count em not one, but two 12 strikeout
games for the Wildcats senior team captain.
She dealt in a 3-2 loss to Palo Alto on March
13, striking out a dozen over six innings of
work. She bounced back to earn the win
against Stevenson on March 15 with 12 more
punchouts while allowing just two runs on
four hits. Oh yeah, she also pitched in relief
later that day against North Monterey and
notched two more strikeouts over two shutout
innings in Woodsides 7-4 win.
heading into Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division play.
Theyre doing great, Wilson said of his
pitchers. Our overall ERA as a team is
1.03, which is huge.
Cap is a tight-knit group, with Galea,
McDaid, and Tony Pellegrini having played
together since pee-wee baseball at age 9.
The three even made a trip to Cooperstown
together with the Millbrae Gators when
they were 12, with Galea throwing the game
of his life, to that point, at the legendary
Cooperstown All Star Village to help the
Gators to a top 20 nish from a pool of over
100 teams.
Cap got some bad news last week when
Pellegrini was lost for the year after under-
going arm surgery. Still, the Mustangs have
found a way to keep rolling.
They were disappointed about last year
(finishing 10-15 overall and 4-10 in
league), Wilson said. And now they have
something to prove.
Galea credits his San Bruno Joe DiMaggio
coach Edgar Gonzalez for getting him up to
speed for his second varsity season. Galea
worked primarily in relief last summer as he
was one of the youngest pitchers on the
staff. Having nished four games in relief
for Gonzalez, not Galea is intent on nish-
ing games in a starting capacity.
After the sixth I was pretty tired, Galea
said of his complete game. Then in the sev-
enth I hit another gear. It was like taking it
to another level.

Honor roll
By John Marshall
College basketball fans, start your brack-
ets.
March Madness kicks into high gear this
week with the start of the NCAAtournament,
the time hoop heads circle the calendar like
its Christmas.
This years run through the eld of 68
should be a blast an undefeated team in the
bracket, a wide-open eld and a heavy dose
of great players.
So stock up the fridge, work on that fake
cough to call in sick and dig the remote from
under the couch cushions. Its time to roll.
TOP TEAMS
Florida. No. 1 overall seed should get
some props, especially one that plays
defense as the Gators do.
Wichita State. Final Four last season, unbeat-
en so far this one. All you need to know.
Arizona. The loss of Brandon Ashley hurt
and so did a loss to UCLAin the Pac-12 cham-
pionship game. Not enough to keep the
Wildcats from earning a No. 1 seed.
Virginia. No. 1 in the East Region after
sweeping the ACC regular-season and tourna-
ment titles.
Louisville. Defending champs are some-
how a No. 4. A little secret: Theyre better
than that.
Michigan State. The Spartans arent high-
ly ranked, but never count out a Tom Izzo
team, especially one that won the Big Ten
tournament.
TOP PLAYERS
Doug McDermott, Creighton. Pretty much
everyones player of the year will be playing
in the NCAA tournament for the nal time.
Expect big things.
Jabari Parker, Duke. He has been not only
been the best of this years heralded freshman
class, hes one of the best no matter what
year.
Shabazz Napier, UConn. About the only
thing the Huskies do-everything guard
doesnt do is drive the team bus. Wouldnt be
surprised if he did at some point.
Russ Smith, Louisville. He is still
Russdiculous.
Sean Kilpatrick, Cincinnati. Playing on a
defense-rst team hasnt kept him from scor-
ing 20 points a game.
Nick Johnson, Arizona. The junior whose
coach couldnt get a callback from elite sum-
mer camps has become one of the best two-
way players in the country.
Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State. He may
have been suspended for a confrontation
with a fan and has been accused of opping,
but the dude can play.
TOP OPENING MATCHUPS
Oregon vs. BYU, West Regional,
Thursday in Milwaukee. Ducks and Cougars
combined to score nearly 200 points in their
rst meeting this season.
Kansas State vs. Kentucky, Midwest
Regional, Friday in St. Louis. The Wildcats
from Kentucky are peaking at the right time.
The Wildcats from the Little Apple have a
score to settle theyre 0-8 all-time
against Kentucky.
Gonzaga vs. Oklahoma State, West
Regional, Friday in San Diego. The Zags are
underrated. The Cowboys have Marcus Smart
Arizona State vs. Texas, Midwest
Regional, Thursday in Milwaukee. The
Longhorns average more than 15 offensive
rebounds per game and the Sun Devils have
7-foot-2 center Jordan Bachynski in the
middle.
POTENTIAL UPSETS
Harvard over Cincinnati, East Regional.
The 12th Crimson pulled off an upset by
knocking off New Mexico last season and
have pretty much everyone back. This is has
been the most popular upset pick of the
bracket.
Providence over North Carolina, East
Regional. The Friars, the 11th seed, took
themselves off the NCAAbubble by winning
the Big East, one of the toughest tournaments
in the game. The sixth-seeded Tar Heels have
been inconsistent most of the year, follow-
ing big wins with disappointing losses.
Saint Josephs over UConn, East
Regional. The Hawks won nine of their last
11 games and have big man Halil Kanacevic.
UConn won 26 games but could be vulnera-
ble.
N.C. State or Xavier over Saint Louis,
Midwest Regional. The Billikens limped
down the stretch, losing four of ve after a
25-2 start.
Iowa or Tennessee over UMass, Midwest
Regional. The selection committee raised a
few eyebrows by making the Minutemen a
No. 6 seed after they lost seven of their nal
15 games.
NUMBERS
3Straight years a team with a losing
record has made the eld of 68. Cal Poly, at
13-19, got in by winning the Big West tour-
nament as the No. 7 seed.
9Years since a preseason No. 1 didnt
get a 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Kentucky is 8 in the Midwest.
16Years since UMass had made the
NCAAtournament before getting in this sea-
son.
18Teams that have entered the NCAA
tournament undefeated. Seven went on to
win the title, the last one Indiana in 1976.
26Straight wins by top overall seed
Florida.
38Years since Virginia had won the ACC
tournament before this season. The Cavs
also won the regular-season title for the rst
time since 1981.
133Games of scoring in double gures
by Creightons Doug McDermott, an NCAA
record.
355Weight of Sim Bhullar, New Mexico
States 7-foot-5 center.
March Madness: Buckle up for a wild ride
fortable.
He was running well and thats great to
see, Scioscia said. Hes got to get out and
play the outeld. Well see how it goes,
then. There are still some hurdles. Were not
going to work too far ahead right now.
Hamilton said he would not play in
Tuesdays game at the Chicago Cubs.
Lincecum, a two-time NL Cy Young Award
winner, allowed seven hits and ve runs in 5
1-3 innings in his fourth start.
STARTING TIME:
Giants: Manager Bruce Bochy said
Lincecum hurt himself by not stepping on
rst for what might have been a 3-6-1 dou-
ble play on Raul Ibanezs bouncer to rst
prior to Howie Kendricks RBI single in the
fourth.
He got 80 pitches in, Bochy said. We
got him where we want him to be.
Angels slugger Raul Ibanez said Lincecum
looked like the Lincecum of old.
He has that great changeup and has great
deception, he said. Hes always tough
even if he throws 90 or 92 or whatever.
Lincecum went 10-14 with a 4.37 ERA i n
32 starts last season.
Angels: Hector Santiago allowed three
runs in 5 1-3 innings. He gave up four hits,
struck out ve and walked three.
Santiago went 4-9 with a 3.56 ERA with
the Chicago White Sox in 2013. He was
acquired in an offseason trade.
Right now I feel great, Santiago said.
Im in the zone all the time.
Santiago is believed to be in a three-way
race for two open spots in the back end of
the rotation with Tyler Skaggs and Joe
Blanton.

By Jose M. Romero
PHOENIX The Oakland Athletics
scratched left-hander Scott Kazmir from
their spring game against the Chicago Cubs
on Monday due to left triceps stiffness.
Brandon Moss and Nick Punto then had
two hits apiece as Oakland went on to a 6-2
victory over the Cubs split-squad.
Kazmirs injury isnt believed to be seri-
ous, but he did see an orthopedist. Manager
Bob Melvin said he will wait to see how
Kazmir looks Tuesday before deciding when
hell pitch again.
It was part of a difcult day for Oakland,
which lost pitcher Jarrod Parker for the sea-
son. The promising right-hander will have
elbow ligament replacement surgery next
week after an MRI in Florida determined the
need for the operation.
Obviously in this situation, the first
thing is you feel bad for Jarrod, assistant
general manager David Forst said. He
worked hard this offseason after having
some struggles at the end of the year and was
hoping to be at the top of the rotation this
year.
Parker had a 10.61 ERA in three spring
training starts.
Cubs starting pitcher James McDonald
threw two pitches and had to leave with
right shoulder soreness. McDonalds second
pitch to Coco Crisp sailed over Crisps head
to the backstop, prompting a visit from
manager Rick Renteria and a trainer.
He was shaking his arm so we went out
there just to talk to him, and he just felt like
his arm wasnt feeling right, Renteria said.
So were not taking any chances.
Joe Savery, who had made five relief
appearances without a start this spring,
took Kazmirs place and shut out the Cubs
on two hits in two innings. He struck out
ve and walked one.
Melvin said Savery is in the mix to make
the major league club as a reliever.
The injury to Parker means the As rota-
tion appears set for opening day, with
Kazmir (if his injury is not serious), Sonny
Gray, Jesse Chavez, Dan Straily and Tommy
Milone.
Moss scored two runs against the Cubs,
and Punto had two RBIs.
Savery said he hadnt started a game since
2010 at the Triple-Alevel. I think my slid-
ers probably as good as its ever been, he
said. I can tell by the swings, by the takes.
Its been a very different reaction from the
hitters this year.
Closer Jim Johnson was part of a strong
effort by Oaklands bullpen. He allowed one
hit in his inning of work and his ERA
dropped to 3.00.
Chicago shortstop Darwin Barney, nor-
mally the teams second baseman, scooped
up a low throw from second baseman Javier
Baez for a force out in the fourth inning.
Barney then started a double play in the fth
by getting to a ball headed up the middle.
Oakland second baseman Eric Sogard had
to reach across his body to take a throw
from catcher John Jaso with Christian
Villanueva trying to steal second base in the
second. Sogard got the throw on a bounce
and reached back to apply the tag for the
out. Jaso and Sogard later teamed up to nab
Baez trying to steal second in the fourth
inning.
Shortstop Starlin Castro has a hamstring
injury that has caused him to miss two
weeks of spring games, but will run the
bases Tuesday.
Third baseman Josh Donaldson left
Sundays game with calf tightness and didnt
play Monday. Melvin will hold him out
until Wednesday. Outelder Craig Gentry is
working his way back from a back injury
that has kept him out of spring training
games but is taking batting practice.
Kazmir scratched as As win
GIANTS
By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders added a
veteran presence to their young receiving
group by signing free agent James Jones to a
three-year contract Monday.
Oakland also signed former New York
Giants offensive lineman Kevin Boothe to a
two-year deal. Boothe began his career with
the Raiders in 2006 before spending the past
seven seasons with the Giants where he won
two Super Bowl titles.
Jones, who turns 30 later this month,
brings a playoff pedigree and proven pass-
catching ability to a position whose most
experienced player currently under contract is
inconsistent three-year veteran Denarius
Moore.
We have a lot of young receivers, Jones
said. Ive been in the game for a minute, so
Ill be able to help those guys out leadership-
wise. Other than that, just doing what I do on
the football eld, making some plays, and
hopefully I can give the offense a spark.
General manager Reggie McKenzie once
again reached back to his past in Green Bays
front ofce to add a piece to the Raiders.
Among the many other former Packers that
McKenzie has brought in since taking over
as general manager in 2012 are Charles
Woodson and Matt Flynn.
Jones said he has been talking to the
Raiders the past few days and was lured to
Oakland by McKenzies vision for a fran-
chise that has not made
the playoffs since 2002.
The way he runs his
team the GM way is the
kind of way I play out on
the football eld; just hun-
gry and trying to be the
best, and thats how
Reggie is, Jones said.
Im excited to play for
Reggie and hopefully we
can turn this thing around.
Jones has 310 career catches for 4,305
yards and 37 touchdowns in 104 games over
seven seasons in Green Bay. His most pro-
ductive year came in 2012 when he had 64
catches for 784 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Jones had 59 catches for a career-high 817
yards and three scores last season despite
being without star quarterback Aaron
Rodgers for seven games.
But after playing with Rodgers and Brett
Favre his rst seven seasons, Jones now
joins a team with uncertainty at quarterback.
Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin return after
splitting most of the time last season but
Oakland still is searching for its starter and
will likely add more quarterbacks either
through free agency or the draft.
Aaron is one of a kind. Hes a special
player, Jones said. Whoever we put behind
center here, I am going to do the same thing
I did for Aaron just run every route to win,
be as open as I can to help whoever is back
there and to get this offense rolling.
The deal is a homecoming for Jones, who
was born in San Jose and played college ball
at San Jose State. Jones overcame many
obstacles on his journey to the NFL, having
been in and out of homeless shelters for much
of his childhood.
The Raiders have been lacking a veteran
presence at receiver for years. Their top
receiver last year was Rod Streater, a former
undrafted free agent who led the team with 60
catches for 888 yards in his second pro sea-
son.
The other key receivers on the roster
include Moore, who has shown ashes of
stardom in three seasons, and Andre Holmes,
who had 22 catches for 366 yards and a touch-
down over the nal ve games in 2013.
Boothe has started 32 games the past two
seasons and has started at both guard posi-
tions and center in his career. He was a starter
when the Giants won the Super Bowl follow-
ing the 2011 season and a reserve on their
title team four years earlier.
Boothe joins right tackle Austin Howard as
additions on a line that lost starting left tack-
le Jared Veldheer to free agency.
McKenzie has placed a premium on acquir-
ing players with winning experience so far
this offseason. Six of the seven free-agent
additions to Oaklands roster over the past
week have played in a Super Bowl, with
Jones, Boothe and defensive linemen Justin
Tuck and LaMarr Woodley having won it all
in previous stops.

Oakland ace
to undergo
arm surgery
By Jose M. Romero
PHOENIX Oakland Athletics right-han-
der Jarrod Parker needs elbow ligament-
replacement surgery and will miss the sea-
son.
Parker was examined Monday in Gulf
Breeze, Fla., by Dr. James Andrews, who
repaired his elbow on Oct. 28, 2009, when
Parker was with Arizona. Parker is to have
surgery again on March 25.
Parker had a 10.61 ERA in three spring
training starts.
He becomes the latest pitcher who needs a
ligament replaced, joining Arizonas
Patrick Corbin. Atlanta pitchers Kris
Medlen and Brandon Beachy also were
being examined by Andrews on Monday and
might need season-ending elbow surgery.
Parkers surgery clears the way for Jesse
Chavez and Tommy Milone to join
Oaklands starting rotation.
Turner in the conference with eight
home runs while hitting .303 with 41
RBIs. He went on to redshirt last season
and transferred to Oklahoma Baptist as a
sophomore.
Knudson got his Oklahoma Baptist
career off to a bang with a pair of home
runs on opening day in a 24-4 romp over
Dallas Christian. Page also had a big
opening day, adding a homer to the hit
parade while tabbing eight RBIs.
After missing some playing time due to
two weeks of scuffles that followed,
Knudson has found his groove as of late.
Over the Bisons last four games, he has
gone 9 for 14 with eight RBIs and is cur-
rently hitting .339 with three homers and
18 RBIs on the year.
Now that weve been doing well, hes
been in the lineup pretty much every day,
and I dont see him fading off, Page said.
Then there is Merryweather, who took
the same route as Page in graduating from
Serra and playing two seasons at Skyline.
Now a senior, Merryweather is lighting up
radar guns. According to both Cox and
Page, Merryweather tops out at 95 mph
and has the results to show for it, current-
ly boasting a 5-0 record with a 0.55 ERA
while notching 48 strikeouts in 33
innings.
Hes got it figured out now, Cox said.
Now the goal is simple one more win
than last season and a trip to the NAIA
World Series in Lewiston, Ohio.
They got close to a World Series one
game away, Cox said. Theyve kind of
made the commitment to make the trip
back to Lewiston and make another run at
it.
And the Bisons certainly have the talent
and the confidence to do it.
Obviously, were confident enough that
we think if we play well theres not a team
in the nation that can beat us, Page said.

BRISTOL, Tenn. Of the many things
NASCAR cant control, the weather is at the
top of the list.
NASCAR cant make it be warm and sunny
every race day and NASCAR cant stave off
rain showers or cold fronts.
What NASCAR can control is the sched-
ule. After rain delayed a second Sprint Cup
race in this four-week-old season, its time
to consider some tweaks.
The Daytona 500 will always be the sea-
son-opening race, and nobody is suggest-
ing that should change. But a rain delay of
nearly six hours last month pushed the bulk
of the race into prime time for the second
time in three years.
Theres something electric about running
NASCARs version of the Super Bowl under
the lights, and the race pace showed the
drivers felt it, too.
So just go ahead and make the Daytona
500 a night race. It may still rain on race
day, but Fox wont be forced to ll hours of
programming waiting for it to clear.
NASCAR then headed west to Phoenix,
extended the swing a week with a stop in
Las Vegas, then headed back home. Next up
on the schedule was Sundays stop at Bristol
Motor Speedway in Tennessee, once one of
the most coveted tickets in NASCAR.
The track has been one of the hardest hit
since the 2008 economic downturn. A
streak of 55 consecutive sellouts was
snapped in 2010 and attendance for the
spring race has dwindled every year. Some
fans blamed a 2007 track reconguration
for ruining the racing, and there were com-
plaints about high hotel rates.
Both reasons are valid and true. But over-
looked is that Bristols rst race of the sea-
son has slowly inched up the NASCAR cal-
endar since 2005, when it went from the
sixth race of the season to the fth stop on
the Sprint Cup Series schedule.
That was OK in 2005, when NASCAR had
an early off weekend and Bristols race date
was April 3. But the next year, it was moved
to March and by 2011 it was the fourth race
of the season.
Its meant a race date of mid- to late
March, and Sundays running was the earli-
est on the calendar Bristol has hosted a race
since 2008. Only two were run earlier in
1976 and 1982, when the race was held on
March 14.
Track ofcials were not surprised when
the weather uctuated wildly all last week,
hitting the mid-70s early in the week before
plummeting into the 40s when NASCAR
rolled into town. The forecast for Sundays
race called for 100 percent chance of rain
and the two delays added up to more than
ve hours, with the race nishing deep into
the night, under the lights.
Bristol general manager Jerry Caldwell
believes hes got a valid argument to get a
different race date.
I think the right place for us is mid- to
late April, given the weather conditions
around here, Caldwell said Monday.
Caldwell readily admits the end result was
one of the most stirring spring races the
track has ever hosted, one that could make a
compelling argument for Bristol to hold all
its Cup events at night.
But that wouldnt work with Bristols cur-
rent race date.
The thing that people want to look at is
the average temperature at the time of the
green ag. OK, it might be nice at the time
the race starts, Caldwell said. I encourage
people to look at the nighttime tempera-
ture. You look at our fans, more than half
come from the Northeast and the Midwest
and a lot of them are camping either because
of the lack of hotel space or because of the
camaraderie. You look at the nighttime tem-
peratures we have in March, and we are just
losing so much because it is not appealing
to be here and be outside.
Its not about rain. You can have rain
anywhere. Its about the cold at night here.
It was cold Sunday and only a few thou-
sand die-hards stuck it out to the nish.
They were treated to a tremendous race, but
one that ended under strange circumstances
when the caution lights mysteriously trig-
gered right before Carl Edwards took the
white ag.
NASCAR vice president of competition
Robin Pemberton later said the lights were
erroneously triggered when someone
either one of two ofcials or a photographer
leaned on the switch.
As the day went on, and the different sce-
narios of getting up and down, and they
were probably pretty cold standing up there
In The Pits: NASCAR needs to revamp schedule

MILLBRAE
Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
Thank you time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families whove been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying Youre welcome is
the correct response. Youre welcome, or
You are welcome, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term Youre welcome
being substituted with Thank you back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is OK, but saying Youre welcome first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that Thank you and Youre
welcome have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who weve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
whove discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
Thank you. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

you do so.
It goes on to state in a section labeled tip
not agree to talk off the record with a
reporter. Nothing is off-record when speak-
ing to the media.
Faculty members like Teeka James, presi-
dent of American Federation of Teachers
Local 1493, that represents faculty in all
three colleges of the San Mateo County
Community College District, said the poli-
cy was news to everyone and that it violates
free speech. She said the teachers union is
going to ask to negotiate the policy and
have the administration clarify what it
means.
Its a perfect example of prior restraint
on employee speech, she said. An
employee has the right to say their experi-
ence in the college. It still has the effect
of chilling conversation and making
employees feel like theyll be in trouble if
they speak to the press. Its unclear if its
just a recommendation, but thats the way
people are perceiving it.
The idea behind it is to make sure the
school gets the media effective, efcient
and accurate information, Colin said. The
email also states the policy is designed to
protect the brand and image of the college.
Its to make sure whatever is said is
reective of what the institution thinks as a
whole, she said. The idea is not to stop
anyone from talking to the media if theyre
not talking on behalf of the college.
She used the example of a biology profes-
sor speaking as a eld expert about a partic-
ular whale as being appropriate.
No other school in the district, nor the dis-
trict itself, has this type of policy, said Ron
Galatolo, chancellor of the school district.
This policy includes all major media out-
lets as well as schools student newspaper
The Skyline View. The newspaper wrote an
editorial in opposition to the policy, stat-
ing that it restricts all faculty and adminis-
trative staff from speaking candidly with
reporters for any reason.
This stops the flow of information at
the very place we need to access it, our
teachers and our mentors, it stated.
Without being able to ask questions we
are losing the edge that makes us journal-
ists. We feel that is only detrimental to
the public face of our college. It expresses
a lack of trust in our ability as journalists
to seek truth and to print stories worth-
while to our campus community, as well as,
a lack of trust in our facultys ability to
represent Skyline.
This policy delays the newspapers
process infinitely, said Editor in Chief
Aaron Washington.
Overall we just dont feel policy is fair
to us as journalists, Washington said. It
restricts what were able to do. Were hear-
ing now theyre trying to change the word-
ing of the policy.
There will be a clarification sent out
since the school doesnt want to create an
environment in which people are afraid to
talk to the media, said Skyline President
Regina Stanback Stroud.
It (the email) was a clarification to let
people know we have a PIO (public infor-
mation officer) thats here to support you,
she said. You can speak off the record, but
were advising not to. Students have
deadlines and we dont want to make it
harder for them to accomplish their goals.
We want them to be successful. We defi-
nitely see we have some cleanup to do.

WASHINGTON Americans of all ages
still pay heed to serious news even as they
seek out the lighter stuff, choosing their own
way across a media landscape that no longer
relies on front pages and evening newscasts
to dictate whats worth knowing, according
to a new study from the Media Insight
Project.
The ndings burst the myth of the media
bubble the idea that no one pays atten-
tion to anything beyond a limited sphere of
interest, like celebrities or college hoops or
Facebook posts.
This idea that somehow were all going
down narrow paths of interest and that many
people are just sort of amusing themselves
to death and not interested in the news and
the world around them? That is not the
case, said Tom Rosenstiel, executive direc-
tor of the American Press Institute, which
teamed with the Associated Press-NORC
Center for Public Affairs Research on the
project.
People today are nibbling from a news buf-
fet spread across 24-hour television, web-
sites, radio, newspapers and magazines, and
social networks.
Three-fourths of Americans see or hear
news daily, including 6 of 10 adults under age
30, the study found. Nearly everyone
about 9 in 10 people said they enjoy
keeping up with the news. And more than 6
in 10 say that wherever they nd the news,
they prefer it to come directly from a news
organization.
The study found relatively few differences
by age, political leanings or wealth when it
comes to the topics people care about. Trafc
and weather are nearly universal interests.
Majorities express interest in natural disas-
ters, local news, politics, the economy,
crime and foreign coverage.
With so many sources and technologies,
60 percent of Americans say its easier to
keep up than it was just ve years ago.
But at the same time, Jane Hall, an associ-
ate professor of journalism at American
University, said no one is setting the nation-
al news agenda the way The New York Times
and network evening news once did.
I do lament those times in which some-
thing could become so important that we all
watched, Hall said. But that doesnt mean
we arent all engaged now.
If youre under 30, the future of news is in
your hands, literally.
Three out of 4 young adults who carry cell-
phones use them to check the news. Most
owners of tablet computers also use them to
get updates; young people are the ones most
likely to have tablets.
But the young think of news differently
than previous generations did, said Rachel
Davis Mersey, an associate professor at
Northwesterns Medill School of
Journalism. Their broader denition includes
anything happening right now, whether its
sports or entertainment or politics.
We dont see young people thinking of it
as a civic obligation to keep up with news,
Mersey said. We see young people includ-
ing news as part of a very complex, very
diverse, very large media diet that includes a
diversity of sources, a diversity of platforms
and really goes 24/7.
The Media Insight Project study found that
20-somethings are likelier to follow up
when they hear something big is happening.
Theyre the sort of on-demand news gen-
eration, Rosenstiel said.
Americans get that rst word an assort-
ment of ways. Traditional news operations
still dominate, but word of mouth, email and
text messages, Facebook and Twitter, and
electronic news alerts also come into play.
On the media buffet, people still seek meaty news

By Ramit Plushnick-Masti
HOUSTON Sara Rodriguez recently
received a $4,000 bill for a six-hour emer-
gency room visit to treat a fever. She says
she cant pay, but shes also not planning
to buy health insurance through the new
federal marketplace.
Rodriguez, like others gathered in a
Houston gymnasium listening to a presen-
tation about the health care overhaul, says
she cant afford insurance, even for $50 a
month. With two young children and bare-
ly $400 of income a month after paying
rent, she struggles to feed her family.
Its the law, but Im not interested, the
27-year-old says, explaining that she
attended the presentation only because her
GED teacher is making her write an essay.
I cannot afford it.
The presentation ends and Rodriguez
grabs her belongings and rushes out, for-
going the opportunity to make an
appointment for enrollment assistance.
The crowd of about 200 quickly dwindles,
with some stragglers lingering to schedule
appointments.
As a March 31 deadline draws near, this
is a daily reality in Texas, where nearly 1
in 4 residents is uninsured, the highest rate
in the nation.
Texas stands out among the nations four
most populous states for lagging behind
on signups. California, New York and
Florida have signed up far more people.
Enrollment helpers here are working
days on end, sometimes with no time off,
as they make a final push to get people to
buy policies.
They count the small victories: If only
five people come to a three-hour enroll-
ment event but all sign up, that gets a
thumbs up. No matter that it is just an
infinitesimal fraction of the Texans who
could be eligible for subsidized coverage, a
figure the Kaiser Family Foundation puts
at 1.8 million people.
The final weeks of enrollment are sure to
be filled with frenetic activity. Mega-
enrollment drives are planned almost
daily. Weekend and evening events are
jam-packed. Hospitals in Dallas will stay
open for longer weekday and weekend
hours.
At this late stage, education and outreach
have largely been abandoned. The goal
now is to ensure that everyone who strolls
in with paperwork walks out with insur-
ance.
Sign up! Sign up, is the charge guiding
Benjamin Hernandez, Houstons deputy
assistant health director, as he helps with
a massive effort to reach his regions 1
million uninsured.
Texas large uninsured population makes
it crucial to the success of the entire
national program. But the impediments are
many.
Some in the states large Hispanic popu-
lation are wary of enrolling because of
fears that doing so might reveal the exis-
tence of family members at risk of being
deported.
As of mid-March, enrollment numbers
were only slightly more than 295,000,

lagging behind Florida, another state with
high numbers of uninsured and a governor
opposed to the program.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has erected his
own obstacles in the form of additional
rules and training requirements imposed on
health care navigators.
Other Texas Republicans have also
slammed the program. Lt. Gov. David
Dewhurst, forced into a runoff against a tea
party candidate after a tight primary,
released a TV ad that shows businessmen
and women in suits engaged in a high
school cafeteria food fight a metaphor,
according to the ad, for the programs
glitch-filled rollout.
Its not clear whether the Perry mandates
and the intense public criticism of the law
have scared off many potential enrollees.
But Hernandez believes lack of informa-
tion and misinformation are key barriers.
Brenda Sanders, 54, was one of about a
half-dozen people who trickled into a
recent enrollment event on Houstons
north side. Sanders knew the deadline and
where to find a plan. She tried to apply, and
it appeared she didnt qualify for financial
assistance. The $200 monthly premium
offered was unaffordable on her income of
barely $600 a month, the part-time home
care provider said.
Im a little disappointed, Sanders
said. Even with Obamacare, its supposed
to be affordable, but for people like me,
that are low, low income, its still not
affordable.
And that is another struggle for Texas.
The state decided against expanding
Medicaid, despite the offer of federal dol-
lars to help cover the costs in the first few
years, meaning more than 1 million of the
uninsured who do not qualify for subsidies
could be left without coverage.
In the meantime, Houston and other areas
are zeroing in on crucial populations:
younger people and Hispanics. Houston
spent about $40,000 on a two-week radio
ad buy in English and Spanish. Hernandez
also advertised in fitness centers, hoping
to reach Hispanic mothers, believed to be
the health care decision makers in those
families.
Martha Blaine, executive director of the
Community Council of Greater Dallas,
recently spent just under $10,000 to buy
radio spots on seven different Spanish
radio stations in North Texas. The spots
ran for two weeks in the morning and after-
noon drive times and midday to hit stay-at-
home moms. One was aimed at young men.
Their mom will be listening to the other
station and tell them to go do it, Blaine
said. We figure well hit them with both
sides with that one.
Rodriguez has seen and heard all this, but
remains adamantly opposed. Sitting
alongside her GED classmates at the pres-
entation organized by the Association for
the Advancement of Mexican Americans,
they run through their expenses: food,
clothes, diapers, baby formula, baby sit-
ters.
Sitting next to her is Mayde Arroyo, 32,
who makes less than $400 a month work-
ing weekends at the Childrens Place cloth-
ing store. She relies largely on the $780 a
month she gets in child support to raise her
11- and 10-year-old boys. Often, she says,
she doesnt have the $25 co-pay to take her
children to the doctor under the insurance
plan they have through their father. She is
desperate to also be insured but not opti-
mistic about obtaining coverage.
Im not going to work just to pay my
insurance, Arroyo says, concluding she
cant afford more than $50 a month for a
plan.
Rodriguez, meanwhile, looks through
the pamphlet she received at the event. An
hour later, shes considering at least filling
out an application. But even $20 a month
is a stretch, she says. Like the $4,000 hos-
pital bill she will ignore, she also shrugs
off a penalty imposed by the law on those
who are eligible for marketplace coverage
but remain uninsured.
It will just come out of my taxes so it
doesnt matter, she says. And its way
less than what they will take out monthly,
right?
TEXAS

people like me, that are low, low income, its still not affordable.

It wont be nearly as much fun as
eating candy bars, but a big study
is being launched to see if pills
containing the nutrients in dark
chocolate can help prevent heart
attacks and strokes.
The pills are so packed with
nutrients that youd have to eat a
gazillion candy bars to get the
amount being tested in this study,
which will enroll 18,000 men and
women nationwide.
People eat chocolate because
they enjoy it, not because they
think its good for them, and the
idea of the study is to see whether
there are health benefits from
chocolates ingredients minus the
sugar and fat, said Dr. JoAnn
Manson, preventive medicine
chief at Harvard-affiliated
Brigham and Womens Hospital
in Boston.
The study will be the rst large
test of cocoa avanols, which in
previous smaller studies improved
blood pressure, cholesterol, the
bodys use of insulin, artery
health and other heart-related fac-
tors.
A second part of the study will
test multivitamins to help prevent
cancer. Earlier research suggested
this benefit but involved just
older, unusually healthy men.
Researchers want to see if multivi-
tamins lower cancer risk in a
broader population.
The study will be sponsored by
the National Heart, Lung and
Blood Institute and Mars Inc.,
maker of M&Ms and Snickers
bars. The candy company has
patented a way to extract avanols
from cocoa in high concentration
and put them in capsules. Mars and
some other companies sell cocoa
extract capsules, but with less
active ingredient than those that
will be tested in the study; candy
contains even less.
Youre not going to get these
protective avanols in most of the
candy on the market. Cocoa a-
vanols are often destroyed by the
processing, said Manson, who
will lead the study with Howard
Sesso at Brigham and others at
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
Center in Seattle.
Participants will get dummy
pills or two capsules a day of
cocoa avanols for four years, and
neither they nor the study leaders
will know who is taking what dur-
ing the study. The avanol cap-
sules are coated and have no taste,
said Manson, who tried them her-
self.
In the other part of the study,
participants will get dummy pills
or daily multivitamins containing
a broad range of nutrients.
Participants will be recruited
from existing studies, which
saves money and lets the study
proceed much more quickly,
Manson said, although some addi-
tional people with a strong inter-
est in the research may be allowed
to enroll. The women will come
from the Womens Health
Initiative study, the long-running
research project best known for
showing that menopause hormone
pills might raise heart risks rather
than lower them as had long been
thought. Men will be recruited
from other large studies.
Manson also is leading a gov-
ernment-funded study testing vita-
min D pills in 26,000 men and
women. Results are expected in
three years.
People love vitamin supple-
ments but its important not to
jump on the bandwagon and take
pills before they are rigorously
tested, she warned.
More is not necessarily bet-
ter, and research has shown sur-
prising harm from some nutrients
that once looked promising, she
said.
Study to test chocolate pills for heart health

IOWACITY, Iowa Nationwide
Mutual Insurance Co. did not dis-
criminate against an employee who
claims she was denied a room to
pump breast milk and pressured to
resign on her rst day back from
maternity leave, a federal appeals
court has ruled.
Angela Ames, a former loss-mit-
igation specialist in Nationwides
Des Moines ofce, did not meet
the legal burden of showing she
was treated so badly that any rea-
sonable person would have
resigned, the 8th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.
The decision means Ames wont
get a trial on her claims of gender
and pregnancy discrimination.
Ames claimed that on the morn-
ing she returned from a two-month
maternity leave in July 2010, the
company refused to let her use its
lactation rooms because its policy
required mothers to complete paper-
work seeking security access and
wait three days for processing. She
had been unaware of that require-
ment. A company nurse suggested
she use a wellness room that was
occupied at the time, but also cau-
tioned that doing so might expose
her milk to germs.
Ames said she was in pain while
waiting for that room to be vacated,
when her supervisor informed her
that she would be expected to work
overtime to catch up on her work or
face disciplinary action. Ames then
went to her department head, Karla
Neel, to see if she could nd her a
place to lactate, but was told that
was not Neels responsibility.
Neel handed Ames a piece of
paper and pen and told her to write
her resignation, saying, I think
its best that you go home to be
with your babies, Ames claimed.
Ames had also taken a two-month
maternity leave after giving birth
to her rst child in 2009.

because they take many forms, often
are cloaked amid prostitution and
pimping cases and the victims may
not be immediately recognized as
such. Specically, the new protocol
species that 911 dispatchers give a
human trafcking call the same priori-
ty as other life-threatening incidents
and directs ofcers to arrest suspected
trafckers as felony cases and not be
inuenced by the alleged victims citi-
zenship. Other aspects are instructing
ofcers to arrange immediate medical
treatment and transport, conduct train-
ing and handle child victims in non-
leading, non-suggestive ways.
Just Monday, South San Francisco
police announced a prostitution sting
at an East Grand Avenue hotel on
March 16 resulted in the arrest of 24-
year-old Michael Pierce, of Citrus
Heights. Pierce was not at the hotel
where officers found a 17-year-old
female and 18-year-old female who had
posted escort ads online but was linked
by the evidence to the sex operation.
He was later found during a trafc stop
trying to leave and charged with
human trafcking, pimping an pander-
ing charges. Investigators said Pierce
befriended females on social network-
ing sites and convinced them to pros-
titute themselves for his nancial ben-
et. The minor was found to be a miss-
ing girl out of Santa Clara County who
had walked away from a childrens
shelter.
The battle to curb human trafcking
has stepped up in recent years.
California passed a law strengthening
the punishment of those convicted of
the crime and, in February, San Mateo
County joined others statewide enact-
ing a state law requiring informational
posters in several establishments
including airports, train stations,
truck stops, emergency rooms and
urgent care centers, farm labor contrac-
tors, massage parlors and adult stores.
The multi-language iers include infor-
mation about trafcking and a hotline
for the National Human Trafficking
Resource Center and the California
Coalition to Abolish Slavery and
Trafcking.
Trainings have also been held local-
ly for hospitality workers and person-
nel at San Francisco International
Airport.
The Peninsula is particularly suscep-
tible to human trafcking because of
SFO, the surrounding hotels and the
abundance of conventions, Speier
said.
Training of SFO personnel and hos-
pitality workers were held in past
years specically for that reason
they are often the rst to encounter
victims.
Nationwide, an estimated 100,000
to 300,000 domestic minors are traf-
cked annually, according to data from
Speiers ofce.
Specific county figures werent
shared but Speier, Massoni and the
others said the protocols goal is mak-
ing the area less attractive.
This county is not a place that wel-
comes sex trafckers, Speier said.
While the assembled group shared
what made San Mateo County unique
for trafckers, they also lauded the
efforts and resources that make it
unique for recovery.
Freedom House, a Burlingame transi-
tional housing facility for up to 14
total adult and child victims at a time,
is one of only a handful such places in
the nation and founder Jaida Im said
she has yet to receive any government
funding. But if the money was avail-
able she could open a dozen such hous-
es, the need is that great, she added.
While the term human trafcking
often brings to mind young men and
women being sexually exploited,
Massoni said the crime also includes
indentured servitude which is just as
critical to address and just as challeng-
ing because it, too, happens behind
closed doors.
A key component is enlisting the
publics help.
If you see something, say some-
thing, said Brian Stretch of the U.S.
Attorneys Ofce.

PROTOCOL
some of the tension, particularly for
the neighbors.
Residents who live near the store
were cautiously optimistic and said
they would be gratied if it closed.
Jeff Gilbert lives a few houses down
from the store and feels the hard work
of those who were negatively affected
by the store paid off.
Its a very happy day. Im sure a
small group of us will have a celebra-
tion of some sort and get together and
just toast. Because, as San Mateo is
becoming a larger community and the
population is growing, that the people
still have a say, even if we dont make
the nal decisions, the city will listen
to the people, Gilbert said. We run
the city and we have the ability to
make changes to our city if we put in
the time and effort.
Another neighbor, Richard Smith,
hopes the area will revert back to a
quiet neighborhood. He and a group of
residents took up collections and
raised between $35,000 to $45,000,
which they spent on legal fees, and
their own zoning code interpretations,
Smith said.
If, in the end our goal is reached and
7-Eleven is gone, it will have been
worth every penny and every effort we
made as a group, Smith said.
Gilbert said he looks forward to not
nding hot dog wrappers or soda cans
littered on his property and is thankful
for the citys cooperation.
The property is zoned residential and
although a local deli previously occu-
pied the site, its non-conforming use
permit was lost after a six-month lapse
in service. But a breakdown in staff
communication led to the issuance of
the permit in 2012, which the
Planning Commission and City
Council ultimately ruled to be a mis-
take.
The city has tried to learn from the
mistakes of its Community
Development Department, having
conducted an extensive audit and begun
to ll several vacant positions.
The city can move forward with les-
sons learned and use it to generate
more positive business relationships,
Ross said.
It just takes a lot of tension off of
everyone and it kind of sets the future
road to achieve good business rela-
tionships, Ross said.
The city will continue to work with
7-Eleven and it has shown some inter-
est in opening a store in San Mateo if
it nds an appropriate location, Ross
said.
The City Council, the Planning
Commission and the city attorney
stood up and backed the citizens,
Gilbert said. He thought the con-
tentious case would be drawn out by the
big-name developer and chain stores
dream team attorneys but is thankful
the grassroots neighborhood move-
ment seems to be paying off, Gilbert
said.
I would be, as a neighbor, ecstatic.
As someone that was highly involved
in this project, I would truly believe
this was a small group of people very
passionate about something not hav-
ing anything to do with the mighty
dollar, Gilbert said, but having to do
with living our lives in a small quiet
neighborhood and wanting that to
continue.
The matter is still under litigation
but the city hopes the terms of the set-
tlement will resolve any remainder,
Mason said.

dont be coerced into a confrontation.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your domestic or love
life will likely face upset. Focus on projects that will
boost your condence. Consider your options before
you deal with an emotional dilemma.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Although you are used to
taking action, let someone else set the pace today.
He or she may have a different and more effective
approach to a mutually nettlesome situation.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are capable of
multitasking up a storm today. Although your current
schedule may have you on the run, it will prepare you
for the variety of challenges ahead. Show everyone
how capable you are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Spend some alone time
pursuing activities that make you think. Personal
relationships may need an adjustment. Its a good
time to follow up on a creative project or plan a trip.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A current situation is
likely to confuse you. Do some fact-nding before you
take action. Dont feel the urge to gossip or share the
information you discover.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You may enjoy
being in the spotlight, but while it may be attering to
have all eyes on you, it could damage a relationship
with someone special.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) An unusual
request is apparent. You will benet if you keep your
emotions in check. Strive to be professional, honest
and tactful in all your business dealings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Dont give in to
someones demands. It may be difcult, but you will
have to maintain your own course of action, refusing
to be swayed by what others do or think.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Lawremce D. Farnan, aka Larry
Farnan
Case Number: 124257
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Lawrence D. Farnan,
aka Larry Farnan. A Petition for Probate
has been filed by Nancy H Mathai in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate re-
quests that Nancy H Mathai be appoint-
ed as personal representative to admin-
ister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble of examination in the file kept by the
court
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal 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 ob-
jection 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 15, 2014 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 peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor 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 representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney 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 ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
