Senator arrested

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The state Senate will vote Friday
to suspend indicted Sen. Leland
Yee if he refuses to voluntarily
resign, said Sen. Jerry Hill who
chairs the
D e m o c r a t i c
Caucus.
His future is
very limited in
the Senate,
said Hill, D-San
Mateo. Hes
not guilty yet
but the indict-
ment reects on
issues that are
painful to read
like gunrunning
and we just feel
it warrants this
type of action.
He should never
step foot on the
Senate floor
again.
S e n a t e
President Pro
Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-
S a c r a me n t o ,
asked Yee to
simply leave
and Hill said
they will simul-
taneously vote
to suspend him
along with Sen.
Ron Calderon
and Sen. Rod
Wright who are
both fighting
legal battles.
There is a
very high level
of upset and dis-
appointment in
these members
and we need to
make it clear
their actions in
no way reflect
on the stature or
reputation of
the Senate,
Hill said.

Kevin Mullin, D-South San
Francisco, said he was shocked

San Diego County spelling
bee nearly left wordless
SAN DIEGO David Hay had no
words for what was about to happen.
And thats sort of important when
youre running a spelling bee.
Hay was the bee master Tuesday at
The 45th Annual U-T San Diego
Countywide Spelling Bee, which was
halfway through its tense, two-student
nal round when Hay realized he was
about to run out of spelling words.
Hay says it hasnt happened in his
33 years as master. His 500-word sup-
ply is usually plenty, but the 92 mid-
dle-schoolers exhausted them, from
macaroni to obnuliate.
He had to call a recess and scrounge
up some spare words to nish.
Allison Grygar won by correctly
spelling prostrate and gurgle when
her opponent botched scrimmage.
Shell compete in Mays Scripps
National Spelling Bee, where presum-
ably words will be plentiful.
Phone scammers
pretending to be police officers
FONTANA Fontana police are
warning of phone scammers pretend-
ing to be ofcers who are calling resi-
dents and requesting immediate pay-
ment to clear up outstanding warrants.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise
reported Tuesday that the scammers are
even using technology that shows the
Fontana police headquarters number on
Caller ID.
Spokeswoman Martha Guzman-
Hurtado says residents have received
calls demanding a fee between $1,000
and $5,000. The victims are directed to
send the payment via wire or prepaid
credit card to an overseas location.
If the victim challenges the demand,
the caller becomes irate.
Guzman-Hurtado reminds residents
that police never notify people by
phone of an arrest warrant.
Woman faces sentence
for man-on-car murder
LOS ANGELES Asubstance-abuse
counselor who drove 2 miles through a
Los Angeles suburb with a dying man
on her windshield faces a maximum
prison term of 45 years to life at her
sentencing scheduled for Wednesday.
Ajury last month found Sherry Lynn
Wilkins, 52, guilty of second-degree
murder, drunken driving and hit-and-
run for the incident that killed 31-year-
old Phillip Moreno in Torrance in
November 2012.
Wilkins has also has two previous
felony convictions that are considered
serious and make her eligible for
Californias three strikes law.
Prosecutors at the time of the trial
said Wilkins blood-alcohol level was
nearly twice the legal limit, and that
what she did to Moreno struck at
human dignity.
We do not tolerate someone who
does not pull over when they see some-
one on their windshield, Deputy
District Attorney John Harlan said
after the verdict.
Burger King Baby finds
birth mom, feels pure joy
A woman who, as a newborn, was
abandoned in the bathroom of a
Pennsylvania fast-food restaurant said
she has found her birth mother just
three weeks after launching a search
that garnered worldwide attention, and
as her mother prepared to look for her.
Katheryn Deprill, 27, said Tuesday
she felt pure joy when she met her
biological mother for the rst time
Monday at an attorneys ofce. And,
after she learned the sad details of her
conception and abandonment, she said
she understood why her mom did what
she did.
She is better than anything I
couldve ever imagined. She is so
sweet and amazing. Im so happy,
said Deprill, who has become known
as the Burger King Baby.
The woman had decided about six
months ago to launch her own search
for the daughter she gave up.
Deprill began her quest on March 2
by posting on her Facebook page a
photo in which she held up a sign that
said, Looking for my birth mother. ...
She abandoned me in the Burger King
bathroom only hours old, Allentown
PA. Please help me nd her by sharing
my post.

The San Francisco woman banned from
San Francisco International Airport for try-
ing to sneak on Hawaii-bound planes multi-
ple times was arrested again Wednesday
when she turned up at baggage claim.
Airport police arrested Marilyn Jean
Hartman, 62, around 4 p.m. in Terminal
Three baggage claim with the same luggage
as she always brings, said Sheriffs Ofce
spokeswoman Rebecca Rosenblatt.
There is no sign she tried to board any
plane this time, Rosenblatt said.
She was arrested on charges of violating a
court order and trespassing the same
charges on which she was arraigned exactly
one week prior before being scheduled for
an Aug. 4 jury trial and
released on her own
recognizance.
Hartman is prohibited
from SFO unless she is
legally ticketed to y.
Wednesdays arrest
marks her third in the
past month after three
times trying to board
planes and once suc-
ceeding and two vio-
lating her prohibition. She received time
served for two misdemeanor burglary
charges and the airport ban for trying to
board ights on Feb. 15, 18 and 20. The
rst time she got onboard but was discov-
ered when the actual ticket holder arrived at
the seat. The next two times, including once
when she used a discarded boarding pass,
she was stopped at the security gate. After
her arrest following the third attempt to
sneak through security, Hartman reportedly
told authorities she has cancer and wanted to
go somewhere warm.
On March 18, a Transportation Security
Administration manager recognized
Hartman in a food court beyond the security
checkpoint and she acknowledged who she
was and that she wasnt supposed to be
there.
She also reportedly had her probation
paperwork in her purse but no boarding pass
in her name or adequate funds to purchase a
ticket, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.

Man arrested after
being identied by tattoo
A man who carjacked a victim at knife-
point in San Mateo Monday evening was
arrested after he was recognized by his tat-
too, according to San Mateo police.
Miguel Angel Cisneros, a 27-year-old San
Bruno resident, approached a 41-year-old
man near Tilton and Railroad avenues and
stole his car and possessions, according to
the police. The victim contacted police
around 6 p.m. and was able to give a
description of his car and Cisneros. Apatrol
sergeant recognized the distinctive tattoo
from a recent police ier and Cisneros was
quickly identied, according to police.
The stolen vehicle was located on the 900
block of Skyline Drive in Daly City and,
after an extensive search of the area,
Cisneros was located near San Brunos Ritz
Inn shortly after midnight, according to
police.
Cisneros was charged with carjacking,
robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and
drug charges, according to police.
Woman arrested for DUI, kicking
deputy, child endangerment
A San Francisco woman was arrested in
the coastal town of El Granada over the
weekend after she allegedly drove drunk and
kicked a deputy, according to the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce.
On Saturday around 9:10 p.m., deputies
responded to a call reporting that a woman
who appeared to be intoxicated was about to
drive away with a child in her vehicle, the
Sheriffs Ofce said.
The woman, who was later identied as
43-year-old Abby Christine Sherwood, was
parked in the 100 block of Avenue Portola.
The child in the vehicle was Sherwoods
10-year-old daughter.
Arriving deputies contacted Sherwood,
who allegedly became argumentative and
refused to perform eld sobriety tests, the
Sheriffs Ofce said.
Sherwood eventually admitted to driving
to the location and pulling over because she
was too drunk, the Sheriffs Ofce said.
During questioning, Sherwood spit in a
deputys face and kicked him several times,
the sheriffs ofce said.
She was arrested and booked into San
Mateo County Jail for DUI, child endanger-
ment and battery on a peace ofcer.
Police report jury duty scam
Scammers are continuing to pose as sher-
iffs deputies and threatening arrest if the
victims fail to send money by purchasing a
prepaid green dot card, according to the
San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce.
Residents have reported receiving unso-
licited phone calls from a man who claims
to be a deputy sheriff stating the individual
failed to show for jury duty and must send
money or face arrest. No law enforcement
agency would ever contact a member of the
public over the phone demanding they pay
nes or be subject to arrest, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce.
Individuals should never provide personal
information such as Social Security num-
bers and credit card information unless they
themselves initiated the phone call.
Anyone who has information or feels they
may have been victim of a similar scam
should contact their local law enforcement.

gy costs of nearly $600,000 by about half.
The brief groundbreaking ceremony will
include district personnel and industry part-

the site. Aribbon cutting ceremony will be
held upon completion of the project some-
time this summer.
Bay Area employers to
underwrite commute costs
San Francisco Bay Area businesses with
more than 50 full-time employees are going

as a way of encouraging their workers to use
public transportation or other alternatives

The Metropolitan Transportation
Commission on Wednesday approved a plan
requiring larger employers to make at least
one of four permitted transportation bene-
ts available to their workers by Sept. 30.
Most companies are expected to choose
an option that calls for them to let employ-
ees discount $130 a month in public transit
or van pool costs from their taxable
income.

SACRAMENTO Before his
arrest Wednesday on federal corrup-
tion charges, Sen. Leland Yee was
best known for his attempts to
strengthen Californias open
records, government transparency
and whistleblower protection laws.
Yet he was regarded somewhat
warily by his colleagues in the
Legislature, where he was known
for his sometimes chilly relation-
ship with Democratic leaders when
he refused to follow their lead.
The 65-year-old San Francisco
Democrat was arrested Wednesday
during a series of raids by the FBI in
Sacramento and the San Francisco
Bay Area. He was arraigned later in
the day on charges that alleged ille-
gal dealing in rearms, wire fraud
and trading the inuence of his
ofce for money in an apparent
attempt to repay a $70,000 cam-
paign debt from a failed bid for San
Francisco mayor in 2011.
At the state Capitol, where Yee
has worked since his election to the
Assembly in 2002, the FBI
searched his Senate ofce. After
eight years, Yee will be termed out
of that ofce this year and is run-
ning for secretary of state, the ofce
that oversees elections and cam-
paign nance reporting.
He has been lauded by numerous
open records advocates over the
years for his efforts to promote
government transparency. That
included legislation to close a loop-
hole in state public records laws
after the California State
University, Stanislaus Foundation
refused to release its $75,000
speaking contract with former vice
presidential candidate Sarah Palin
in 2010.
Just last week, he was honored by
the Northern California chapter of
the Society of Professional
Journalists, which gave him its
public ofcial award for his efforts
last year to maintain the require-
ments of the California Public
Records Act.
The SPJ recognition cited Yees
courage to oppose his own
Democratic Party leaders and the
governor for their efforts to weak-
en the law. Yees clashes with his
fellow Democrats are a hallmark of
his reputation in the state capital.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg of Sacramento, for exam-
ple, stripped him of his rank as
assistant pro tem after Yee voted
against the Democratic budget plan
in 2011.
I am more than willing to relin-
quish this title if that is the price for
voting my conscience on the state
budget and standing up against
severe cuts to education, social
services, and health care, Yee said
in a letter to colleagues following
his ouster.

An investigator with the FBI removes bags from the Ghee Kung Tong
building, which houses the Chinese Freemasons, in the Chinatown
neighborhood in San Francisco.
The FBI on Wednesday led a 137-
page afdavit outlining a detailed
corruption case against a California
state senator who is accused of ask-
ing for campaign donations in
exchange for introducing an un-
dercover agent to an arms trafcker.
The afdavit names Sen.Leland Yee
and 25 others, including Raymond
Chow, a onetime gang leader with
ties to San Franciscos Chinatown
known as Shrimp Boy, and Keith
Jackson, Yees campaign aide. Jack-
son is accused of multiple counts of
fraud and conspiracy to commit
fraud.
Pg.24: In connection with efforts to
retire the mayoral campaign debt,
Senator Yee and Keith Jackson
agreed that Senator Yee would
make a telephone call to a manager
with the California Department of
Public Health in support of a con-
tract under consideration with (the
undercover agents) purported
client,and would provide an ofcial
letter of support for the client,in ex-
change for a $10,000 campaign
donation.Senator Yee made the call
on Oct. 18, 2012, and provided the
letter on or about Jan. 13, 2013.
Pg.94-95:Yee said,People want to
get whatever they want to get. Do I
care? No, I dont care. People need
certain things.
Yee told the undercover agent that
he believed the more people in-
volved in the weapons deal, the
greater the chances he would be im-
plicated.
The agent told Yee he had just as
much to lose if he was caught. The
agent told Yee he had a great life and
would not do anything to jeopard-
ize his lifestyle.
Yee said he was unhappy with his
life and said,Theres a part of me
that wants to be like you.You know
how Im going to be like you? Just
be a free agent there.
Yee told the agent that he wanted to
hide out in the Philippines. Jackson
reiterated the importance of having
the agent meet with the arms dealer.
Yee said he would arrange for the
agent to meet with the arms dealer.
Pg. 97: At a restaurant Yee told the
undercover agent that he appreci-
ated his support and said,I can be of
help to you for eight years. I think
eight years is a lot better than 10
months.Yee said that if he lost in his
bid for secretary of state he wanted
to move into the private sector and
exploit all of the relationships he had
in Asia for various kinds of activities.
Pg. 98-99: (The undercover agent)
asked about the availability of shoul-
der red missiles or rockets.Senator
Yee responded I told him about
rocket launchers and things like
that.Senator Yee asked (the agent)
to provide an inventory list of de-
sired weapons and he would see
what they can do.
Pg. 101: On March 11, 2014, the
agent met with Yee,Jackson and Lim
(the alleged weapons trafcker) at
a restaurant and Yee said no
weapons deal could take place until
after the secretary of state election
in November. Yee and Lim also en-
couraged the agent to deal in
smaller amounts of weapons to
avoid unwanted attention in the
Philippines.
Yee also said he wouldnt go to the
Philippines until November.Yee said,
Once things start to move,its going
to attract attention. We just got to
be extra-extra careful.
On March 14, 2014, the agent met
again with Yee, Jackson and an as-
sociate at a restaurant. Yee and
Jackson discussed how they would
break up the large sum of cash pro-
vided by the agent into legitimate
campaign donations.

trip to the Netherlands.
On Sunday, the agency called three agents home from
the Netherlands just before Obamas arrival for talks with
foreign leaders in The Hague. One agent had been found
inebriated inside a hotel, according to reports.
Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., the Homeland Security
Committee chairman, said Wednesday he is troubled by
the reports regarding the behavior of a few Secret Service
agents serving on the presidents detail in the
Netherlands, according to a statement. His office said
hes asked the Secret Service for more information about
the episode.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the ranking member of
the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement that
the incident shows that the agency has to deal with some
in its ranks who fail to respect the important job the
agency is tasked with. While he said that he appreciated
swift action by Secret Service Director Julia Pierson,
the senator added that it looks like shes still got work to
do to regain the trust of the American people.
The latest embarrassing incident involving a drunken
Secret Service agent comes a year into the term of a new
agency director who already has been confronted with a
handful of incidents since the Colombia prostitution
scandal nearly two years ago. In that episode, 13 agents
and officers were accused of partying with female foreign
citizens at a hotel in the seaside resort of Cartagena,
where they were staying before Obamas arrival.
L.A. airport police chief agrees with TSA findings
LOS ANGELES Los Angeles Airport Police Chief
Patrick Gannon says he agrees with the recommendations
in a Transportation Security Administration report to
improve airport security after a deadly shooting last year.
Gannon says he has read the report issued Wednesday
and airport law enforcement officials agree with recom-
mendations including posting armed police at security
checkpoints and ticket counters during peak hours.
The airport changed its policy months before the Nov.
1 shooting, allowing officers to roam terminals instead
of remaining at checkpoints. Gannon has said he didnt
want to revisit stationing officers at checkpoints because
its important to be flexible.
Agunman targeting TSA officers killed one and wound-
ed three other people in the Nov. 1 shooting.
The 25-page report to Congress obtained by the
Associated Press makes 14 recommendations after a
review of security at nearly 450 airports nationwide.

CARSON CITY, Nev. As support-
ers of the federal health care reforms
push for nal signups, a handful of
states are trying to press the reset but-
ton.
They have botched their handling of
the process so badly that they already
are looking beyond Mondays enroll-
ment deadline to the next enrollment
period starting in the fall.
Many states and the federal govern-
ment experienced technical problems
with the enrollment websites, but
implementation of the federal
Affordable Care Act has been a relative
disaster in Maryland, Massachusetts,
Nevada, Oregon and Vermont.
Rather than focusing on meeting
enrollment targets, ofcials in those
states nd themselves consumed with
replacing top officials, cancelling
contracts with software companies,
dealing with state or federal investiga-
tions, and spending tens of millions
of dollars on xes and new contrac-
tors. The core of the problem has been
the difculty in building an online
health insurance marketplace that
syncs up with myriad state and federal
databases.
Early projections for those five
states were to sign up a combined
800,000 Americans for private health
insurance coverage by March 31, 11
percent of the Obama administrations
original target for national enrollment.
Yet with just days to go before the six-
month enrollment period ends, achiev-
ing 25 percent of that target would be
considered a success.
Overseers of Nevada Health Link
have called that states program a full
failure and a catastrophe. Some of-
cials have suggested dumping Xerox,
which was awarded a $75 million con-
tract to develop the system.
While Xerox remains on the job, a
state board earlier this month approved
up to $1.5 million to hire another tech
rm, Deloitte Consulting, to assess the
Xerox system and recommend xes.
Last month Nevada ofcials cut their
target enrollment from 118,000 to
50,000 and conceded that meeting even
the lower goal would be a challenge.

WASHINGTON House Democrats
deployed a little-used legislative move
Wednesday to force a vote on a comprehen-
sive immigration bill, an effort doomed to
fail but designed to increase the election-
year pressure on Republicans to act.
It is time for us to have a vote, said Rep.
Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., who joined with
dozens of Democrats, advocates and actress
America Ferrera to mark 273 days since the
Senate passed a bipartisan bill. They insist-
ed that House Republican leaders act.
Standing on the east steps of the Capitol
in a light snow and biting wind, proponents
argued that they had the necessary votes in
the House for a bill that would provide a
path to citizenship for the estimated 11 mil-
lion immigrants living in the country ille-
gally and tighten border security.
Were tired of the House of
Representatives leaders and their refusal to
act, Ferrera said.
Democrats introduced a discharge petition
that requires the signature of 218 for leg-
islative action, an effort that stands little
chance of success as Republicans, even
those supportive of immigration legisla-
tion, are unwilling to defy their leadership.
By the end of Wednesdays House session,
149 of the chambers 199 Democrats had
signed the petition.

A small study that examined brains from
children who died found abnormal patterns
of cell growth in autistic children. The
research bolsters evidence that something
before birth might cause autism, at least in
some cases.
Clusters of disorganized brain cells were
discovered in tissue samples from brain
regions important for regulating social
functioning, emotions and communication
which can all be troublesome for children
with autism.
The abnormalities were found in 10 of 11
children with autism, but in only one of 11
children without the disease. The childrens
brains were donated to science after death;
causes of death included drowning, acci-
dents, asthma and heart problems.
The authors said the clusters, detected with
sophisticated lab tests, are likely defects
that occurred during the second or third
trimesters of pregnancy.
Because this points to the biological
onset in prenatal life, it calls sharply into
question other popular notions about
autism, including the scientifically
debunked theory that childhood vaccines
might be involved, said lead author Eric
Courchesne, an autism researcher at the
University of California, San Diego.
Experts not involved in the latest study
called the results preliminary and said larger
studies are needed to determine if the unusu-
al brain development found in the study
causes problems, and if it is truly common
in autism or even in people without the dis-
order. What causes the unusual structure isnt
known, Courchesne said, adding, It could
be gene mutations and environmental fac-
tors together.
Scientists have been working for decades
to nd the cause of autism, and they increas-
ingly believe its origins begin before birth.
In addition to genetics, previous research
suggests other factors might include infec-
tions during pregnancy, preterm birth and
fathers older age at conception.

NEWYORK Osama bin Ladens son-in-
law was convicted Wednesday for his role as
al-Qaidas ery chief spokesman after 9/11
a verdict prosecutors said vindicated the
Obama administrations strategy of bring-
ing terror suspects to justice in civilian
court.
A federal jury deliberated six hours over
two days before finding 48-year-old
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith guilty of charges that
included conspiracy to kill Americans and
providing support to al-Qaida.
Abu Ghaith, a Kuwaiti-born imam who
married bin Ladens eldest daughter about
ve years ago, is the highest-ranking al-
Qaida gure brought to trial on U.S. soil
since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Prosecutors said he played a leading role
in the terror organizations post-9/11 prop-
aganda videos, in which he and others
gloated over the destruction and he warned
of a storm of airplanes to follow.
He could get life in prison at sentencing
Sept. 8.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Preet
Bharara said he hopes the verdict brings
some comfort to al-Qaida victims.
Feds praise verdict against bin Laden son-in-law
I was unaware of the ongoing investiga-
tion. I am withholding judgment on Senator
Yees case and until more facts are known
and the legal process unfolds, Mullin said
in a prepared statement.
News of the early morning raids in San
Mateo County and Yees apprehension sent
San Mateo County buzzing but publicly
those who know and work with him locally
were pretty tightlipped.
Yees ofce, known for sending out near-
daily press releases about the senators
accomplishments and events, was silent
in part, no doubt, to the federal raid of it
Wednesday while Yee himself was arrested.
His press secretary did not respond to
queries which is pretty much the same reac-
tion of other longtime Yee associates.
Dave Pine, president of the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors, called Yees
situation something you only expect to
see in a made-for-TV movie.
Board Vice President Carole Groom said
she was shocked when she and several
others at a Police Activities League function
Wednesday morning received the same news
alert on their phones simultaneously.
Groom called the situation a tragedy
whether true or not but said frankly he was
never a big representative for San Mateo
County.
Yee represents District Eight which is pri-
marily San Francisco but does include a
northern swath of San Mateo County.
Redistricting also moved Yees district out
of the area but his seat remains until the end
of the year. Hills district includes most of
San Mateo County and state Sen. Mark Leno
represents San Francisco.
Yee, who is currently a candidate for
California secretary of state, was rst elect-
ed to the San Francisco Board of Education
in 1988 and served stints as a San Francisco
supervisor, two terms as assemblyman
before winning a hotly contest three-way
race with Mike Nevin and Lou Papan for
Jackie Speiers vacated Senate seat in 2006.
In 2010, his run for San Francisco mayor
nished poorly.
Yee has made a name for himself with leg-
islation battling lifetime no-parole sen-
tences and solitary connement for juve-
niles and governmental transparency. He
also proposed rearms legislation concern-
ing trigger locks and assault weapons.
In 2008, he butted heads with local prose-
cutors and former senator Quentin Kopp,
whose seat Yee holds, over a bill protecting
domestic violence victims who do not want
to testify against their accused abuser from
contempt charges and jail time.
Kopp said he is not surprised at all by
Yees arrest because, in part, of other brush-
es with the law which include a 2000 arrest
in Hawaii on suspicion of shoplifting sun-
tan oil and 1999 questioning twice by San
Francisco police who suspected he was
looking for prostitutes. Kopp said he also
believes Yee was suspected of submitted
false invoices to Santa Clara County as a
contract employee and played loose with
San Francisco Board of Supervisors residen-
cy requirements. Yee was never charged in
any of the cases.
I havent had anything good to say about
him since before he was a supervisor with
his shoplifting and the hooker, Kopp said.
While not taken aback by the arrest,
Kopp said he was surprised by the scope of
the allegations and the number of people
involved.
Kopp predicts Yee will take a leave of
absence like Calderon which allows him to
continue collecting a paycheck.
That is an insult to taxpayers, Kopp
said, adding that the Yee allegations are the
most appalling affront to voters and tax-
payers in his experience.

REACTION
Revenue Service, with support from local
police, carried out boxes of items from the
home and an FBI agent said the residence was
linked to the ongoing criminal investigation
involving Yee.
I can actually conrm at this time that the
FBI is conducting multiple search warrants
and arrest warrants throughout the San
Francisco Bay Area, said Special Agent with
the FBI Greg Wuthrich. I can also conrm
that state Sen. Leland Yee is also a part of the
ongoing investigation thats taking place at
this time. [The investigation has] been ongo-
ing for quite a while and thats all I can say.
Yee is being accused of conspiracy to deal
rearms and wire fraud. Also arrested was
Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow, who has a
prior criminal history dating back to the
1970s.
Agents said they couldnt disclose the name
of the homes residents, but a neighbor named
Tuck, who asked her last name not be used,
said the people who lived in the home being
raided moved in about a year ago. Early
Wednesday morning, she was awakened by the
agents raid. Around 6 a.m. Wednesday, search
and arrest warrants were issued in relation to
the case, said FBI Special Agent Peter D. Lee.
I walked around the house and turned the
lights on and saw ashlights, she said. It
was alarming, but I was told they are FBI and
the IRS.
She believes it was a family of Asian
descent living in the home. She said she
believed a car that had been parked across the
street for quite some time belonged to them.
They also have a Porsche in the garage, she
said.
I just greeted them from time to time, she
said. There was quite a few. Lots of cars out in
front.
Although theres no name attached to the
parcel on the San Mateo County Assessors
Ofce website. It listed the billing address for
the home as 1594 44th Ave. in San Francisco,
a property listed as being owned by Xiaohui
Chen and Jinming Yan.

Memories at Petes Harbor
Editor,
After years of costly postpone-
ments, maneuvering and delays by
some, the decision by the Redwood
City Council on March 24 will allow
the development at Petes Harbor to
move forward (Petes Harbor appeal
denied in the March 26 edition of the
Daily Journal). Now may be the time
to take a deep breath and remember the
Petes Harbor we all knew rather than
what has been said in recent years.
Over time, there have been so many
wonderful memories made and shared
at Petes Harbor. Generations upon
generations have enjoyed not only
the harbor, but the people they met
there. Pete Uccelli shared his dreams
with so many of us and we are all
thankful that he did. Now we can
watch another dream of his come true
as the harbor moves toward a new
future.
There are those who never had the
opportunity to experience what the
harbor really was and therefore never
understood the meaning of it all. For
those of us who were fortunate to have
a taste of such a wonderful place, we
should never let the memories of Pete,
Paula and the harbor be tainted by
anyone. Keep the wonderful memories
close to your heart. Dont let them be
ruined and carry them with you wher-
ever you go.

Vietnam Veterans Day
Editor,
Saturday, March 29 is recognized as
a commemoration for and reection
on veterans who sacriced so much
during the Vietnam War. Millions of
young men served our country (many
of whom were drafted), over 58,000
lost their lives and hundreds of thou-
sands came home wounded in action.
Both my husband and my oldest
brother served their country during
this time and both came home to a
less than positive reception. Instead
of receiving a welcome home tting
to a soldier who sacriced for his
country, they were greeted with hostil-
ity and criticism.
This Saturday, please recognize a
Vietnam Veteran and nally welcome
them home.

Bring back my rink
Editor,
I am in agreement with Mary Ryan
of Menlo Park (Letter: Bridgepointe
Ice Rink in the March 26 edition of
the Daily Journal).
When they closed [the ice rink at]
Bridgepointe, a piece of me died with
it. I loved playing ice hockey at
Bridgepointe because natural sunlight
would trickle in through the glass and
illuminate the rink during the morn-
ing stick-and-shoot sessions. You just
dont get that kind of atmosphere any-
where else around here. Bring back my

Suffering the
consequences of your actions
Editor,
Art Kiesels guest perspective
Unfunded pension liabilities The
unspoken, in the March 24 issue of
the Daily Journal, is way off base on
who to blame for the unfunded pen-
sion liabilities from which local
cities and county government is suf-
fering. The local city government
ofcials started this problem back in
the 1980s and 1990s, and no one
else. Kiesel is fast to blame the gov-
ernor, the state Legislature and the
unions. This is one of the most irre-
sponsible and ignorant things I have
ever read in the Daily Journal.
The governor, the state Legislature
and the unions didnt hire the local
city and county employees, the local
city and county government ofcials
did. The local city councils estab-
lished and approved the hiring prac-
tices, including the compensation
packages and pensions. No one else
did. The local city and county of-
cials had the opinion that we need to
offer the best compensation and pen-
sion packages to attract and hire the
best candidates for our cities. Now,
the local cities and county are suffer-
ing the consequences of their past
actions.
There was a similar guest perspec-
tive from a former North County
councilman a few years ago in the
Daily Journal, where that ex-council-
man clearly stated that, basically,
We, the local city ofcials, caused
this problem, and we dont know how
to solve it. Mr. Kiesel needs to stop
blaming everyone else and start x-
ing the problem. There are answers
out there, maybe answers he may not
like, but they are out there. Handle it.

T
he indictment itself was
shocking, a state senator
accused of conspiracy and
arrested. As details of the case around
state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, unfolded, it
became more and more shocking.
If true, it reveals an extreme lack of
judgment and character. Though
everyone is innocent until proven
guilty, the evidence seems pretty
damning. Astate senator trading inu-
ence and making connections for
those involved in arms dealings,
drugs and other crimes in exchange
for campaign donations is a shocking
situation.
Yee is termed out at the end of the
year and represents District Eight,
which was to be moved at the end of
his term elsewhere. Both San
Francisco and San Mateo County have
representatives in the state Senate in
Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, and
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo. Yees ofce
is an appendage because of redistrict-
ing so his removal from the Senate
will be no loss for his constituents. If
any of his legislation has merit, it
can be picked up by other legislators,
and Yee himself told the Daily Journal
last month he is spending about half
his time campaigning for California
secretary of state.
Two other state senators have
recently taken leaves of absence, Ron
Calderon for a federal corruption
indictment and Rod Wright for his
conviction of voter fraud and perjury
charges. The Senate needs no further
distractions. Yee should resign imme-
diately.
He wont be an effective ofce hold-
er in his time remaining and will only
serve as a distraction. Besides, the
weight of the charges against him
will likely take up all his time.
Furthermore, the Senate needs a
reality check if its members are to be
continually investigated and charged
with major crimes. Once is an anom-
aly. Twice is a trend. Three times is a
situation, an extremely serious one.
And it is a situation that must be
addressed if we are to have condence
in the body. The rst step would be
the immediate removal of Yee from
ofce if he does not remove himself
rst.
Leland Yee should leave Senate
Game changer
R
ules are made to be broken, but changed?
Thats a whole different game. And, if Hasbro
has its way, that game is Monopoly.
Starting this fall, the board game publisher will issue a
special edition incorporating suggested house rules
used by players. In other words, under the new rules,
maybe you can still pass go and collect $200 on your
way to jail. Maybe
you can even go half-
sies on Boardwalk or
sublet Park Place.
The company is
jump-starting its pub-
licity stunt by post-
ing 10 popular rules
on its Facebook page
for dissection with
plans to winnow it
down to five for the
final special set.
This brings to mind
one question: Why?
House rules arent a
bad idea, especially
mandates that drop the
luxury tax or make my
get out of jail card eternal. But the fun in house rules is
that they arent sanctioned by the included paper
instructional manner. House rules are like the secret
menu at In-N-Out Burger. Animal-style isnt as fun if
just anybody can see it printed in black and white.
Neither are those special rules tailor-maid for specific
players.
This isnt the first time Monopoly has tried shaking
up sales by shaking up tradition. Last year, much to
my chagrin, Hasbro again turned to the public to kill
off one token and add a new one to the roster. The iron
hit the chopping block and a kitty cat set up shop.
Then there is the electronic banking edition so that
new generations of bankers can hit an ATM rather than
flex their monetary math skills. With all of these
tweaks, life went on just as it will regardless of this
house rule nonsense. Those who abide by the letter of
the gaming law will continue to insist on stringent
adherence to the official rules created back in the 30s.
Those who prefer skirting established regulations will
keep on letting development run amuck on the board
and bid-rigging the bank auctions of unpurchased prop-
erties.
If the Monopoly rule change makes purists bristle,
the proposed change in scoring for Scrabble points
will really push them over the edge. This idea would be
awesome if blank tiles were suddenly worth 3,000
points when in my possession and my possession
onl y. House rules! But alas, no. Aresearcher is arguing
that language changes in the last half-century or so
mean those Qs and Zs are much more commonly used
and therefore should be decreased in value. Can you
spell L-A-M-E? Six points, by the way. N-E-E-D-L-E-S-
S, slightly better with nine points unless one can hit a
triple word square.
If the proposed scoring system changes, chances are
hard-core players will continue using the original
point assignments. Call it vintage house rules.
Speaking of Scrabble, the official players dictionary
is getting its first official revamp in nine years. Word
is, thousands of new terms will join the ranks in the de
facto bible of challenging and at least one will be cho-
sen from player suggestions fighting it out bracket-
style for inclusion. Any coincidence Hasbro publishes
Scrabble as well as Monopoly? Its house rules pro-
motion and new word competition are pretty similar
attempts to get the public jazzed again about games
that dont feature warfare, mythological creates or any-
thing digital. One fear, though, is exactly what those
new additions will be. Selfie? Twerking?
And while all is fair in love and war the same should
not be true when it comes to turning fan favorites on
their head. Next up, Go Fish will include other ani-
mals. Chutes and Ladders will find room for elevators.
Candy Land will go sugar-free. Yahtzee will start using
12-sided dice stolen from Dungeons and Dragons sets.
The possibilities are endless and endlessly makes one
wonder what brilliant makeover is up next. The mind
boggles at least at until Boggle, too, decides it
needs a new way of playing.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The stock market
continued its recent pattern of one step
forward, one step back.
After starting the day higher follow-
ing an encouraging report on orders
for manufactured goods, stocks drifted
lower in afternoon trading Wednesday
and gave up their gains from a day ear-
lier. Facebook led the technology sec-
tor lower as investors gave the compa-
nys latest acquisition the thumbs-
down.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
the most in two weeks and is now at
for the year. Investors are waiting for a
catalyst that will either push the mar-
ket higher or cause a sustained sell-off.
Many anticipate that the stock market
will resume its upward trajectory later
in the year as the economy strength-
ens following an unusually harsh win-
ter.
Were going through this back and
forth, I would call it a consolidation
phase, digesting the huge gains weve
had, said David Lafferty, chief market
strategist at Natixis Global Asset
Management. Most of the movement
in stocks will tend to be in the latter
half of the year.
The S&P 500 fell 13.06 points, or
0.7 percent, to 1,852.56. The index is
up 0.2 percent for the year, after rising
almost 30 percent in 2013.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 98.89 points, or 0.6 percent, to
16, 268. 99. The technology-heavy
Nasdaq composite fell more than the
other indexes, giving up 60.69
points, or 1.4 percent, to 4,173.58.
Facebook was one of the biggest
losers.
The social media network slumped
$4.51, or 6.9 percent, to $60.38 after
announcing a $2 billion acquisition of
virtual reality company Oculus late
Monday. It was Facebooks second big
acquisition in as many months. Last
month the company announced that it
would pay $19 billion for messaging
startup WhatsApp.
Investors may be questioning
whether the returns on those invest-
ments will ultimately justify the big
outlays, said Lawrence Creatura, a
portfolio manager at Federated
Investors.
Another loser in the technology sec-
tor was King Digital Entertainment.
The online games company, which
makes the popular Candy Crush

ing. The company raised $499.5 mil-
lion in an initial public offering. The
companys stock fell $3.50, or 15.6
percent, to $19 on its rst day of trad-
ing.
The stock market opened higher
after a report showed that orders to
U.S. factories for long-lasting manu-
factured goods rose in February by the
largest amount since November, 2.2
percent. Demand for airplanes and
automobiles drove the gains, accord-
ing to the Commerce Department

drop in January.
The bigger issue right now is
whether or not growth in the United

manager at Whitebox mutual funds.
We are assuming a bounce back after
this weak rst quarter.
Health care companies bucked the
downward trend and were the only
industry sector to rise. The sector is
rebounding after getting caught up in a

Tenet Healthcare rose $2.03, or 5.2

NEWYORK Facebooks latest multi-
billion dollar acquisition of virtual reali-
ty headset maker Oculus is prompting
some people to wonder if CEO Mark
Zuckerberg is already living in an alter-
nate reality.
Longtime technology analyst Roger
Kay wonders whether Zuckerberg is nuts
for agreeing to pay $2 billion for Oculus
less than five weeks after inking a deal to
buy WhatsApp for $19 billion.
Oculus, which got its start on the crowd-
funding site Kickstarter, doesnt have a
consumer product on the market, just the
promise of bulky virtual reality goggles
that have generated huge buzz in the video
gaming community.
Zuckerberg, for his
part, sees long-term
implications in the
technology, for commu-
nication, entertainment
and beyond. He was
right about mobile, and
hes created the worlds
biggest online social
network.
So, is he looney, or
visionary?
Mobile is the platform of today and
now were starting to also get ready for
the platforms of tomorrow. To me, by far
the most exciting future platform is
around vision or modifying what you see
to create augmented and immersive expe-
riences, Zuckerberg said on a conference
call Tuesday discussing the deal. Todays
acquisition is a long-term bet on the
future of computing. I believe Oculus can
be one of the platforms of this future.
Facebooks investors seem to think
Oculuss promise is too far off. The Menlo
Park-based social networking companys
stock fell 7 percent on Wednesday to
close at $60.38.
Beyond sticker shock, the WhatsApp
and Oculus deals along with the
Facebooks spurned offer to buy SnapChat
for $3 billion have raised questions
about Facebooks ability to innovate on
its own. Some of the companys most
high-profile products, such as the
SnapChat-like Poke, the messaging serv-
ice Facebook Messenger and Home, have
flopped. The jurys still out on Paper, a
stand-alone app that lets users read news,
Facebook feeds and more.
Facebook I dont think has the best
innovation strategy, says Gartner ana-
lyst Brian Blau. So far its been move
fast and break things. Move fast is good,
but break thinks, may not be.
Blau calls the Oculus acquisition kind
of out of left field.
We have always thought about experi-
ence as a focus of virtual reality, he says.
Certainly it can be social, but we have
not thought about it as a core social expe-
rience.
Thats not to say it cant work. There
were questions about Facebooks acquisi-
tion of Instagram back when it offered $1
billion for the photo-sharing app (the
final purchase price was $715 million) in
April 2012 and Instagram turned out
fine, Blau points out. Facebook said
Tuesday that Instagram has 200 million
users, up from 30 million at the time it
agreed to buy the company.
Visionary or looney? Zuckerberg on spending spree

Under re, Zohydro
maker touts drug safety board
WASHINGTON After months of criti-
cism over its recently launched painkiller
Zohydro, the maker of the powerful narcotic
is highlighting an unusual oversight board
that its assembled to try and prevent abuse
of the drug.
Zogenixs president and director, Stephen
Farr, told the Associated Press that the out-
side group of seven medical, addiction and
law enforcement specialists will be able to
spot early signs of misuse using data from
sources that include prescribing statistics,
addiction center reports and law enforce-
ment records.
We will be monitoring patients, pre-
scribers, pharmacists, supply chains and
abusers, so all the populations that would
potentially touch our product, Farr said in
the interview.
The comments come as Zogenix tries to
move past negative publicity surrounding
Zohydro, the first single-ingredient
hydrocodone drug ever approved for U.S.
patients. Critics say the pill which con-
tains up to ve times more hydrocodone
than Vicodin will add to the epidemic of
opioid drug abuse that is blamed for about
16,000 overdose deaths a year.
The Food and Drug Administration
approved Zohydro last October and the drug
began shipping to pharmacies this month.
Now, Zogenix is publicizing its efforts to
make sure the drug is used safely.
Dish, DirecTV shares rise
on reported merger talk
LOS ANGELES Shares of satellite TV
companies Dish and DirecTV surged in mid-
day trading Wednesday after a report said
that Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen had con-
tacted DirecTVCEO Mike White about merg-
i ng.
Bloomberg News reported Ergen initiated
the discussion in response to Comcast
Corp.s pending $45 billion acquisition of
Time Warner Cable Inc., which was
announced last month. The news service
cited several unnamed sources.
Dish Network Corp. spokesman Bob
Toevs declined to comment. DirecTV
spokesman Robert Mercer said the company
doesnt comment on speculation.
The companies last tried to merge more
than a decade ago, but the Federal
Communications Commission killed the
deal in 2002 because it would eliminate
competition. While Ergen has long sup-
ported the two companies coming together,
White has been less vocal about the matter.
White told an investors conference earlier
this month, however, that the video indus-
try has changed in the last decade, gotten
more competitive because of the entry of
telecommunications companies, and
expects it to change more in the next ve
years.

GRAY APPEARS READY FOR REGULAR SEASON: OAKLANDS OPENING-DAY STARTER IN MID-SEASON FORM >> PAGE 12
By Michael Tarm
CHICAGO In a stunning ruling that could
revolutionize a college sports industry worth
billions of dollars and have dramatic repercus-
sion at schools coast to coast, a federal
agency said Wednesday that football players
at Northwestern University can create the
nations rst union of college athletes.
The decision by a regional director of the
National Labor Relations Board answered the
question at the heart of the debate over the
unionization bid: Do football players who
receive full scholarships to the Big Ten
school qualify as employees under federal law
and therefore can legally unionize?
Peter Sung Ohr, the NLRB regional director,
said in a 24-page decision that the players
fall squarely within the broad denition of
employee.
Pro-union activists cheered as they learned
of the ruling.
Its like preparing so long for a big game
and then when you win it is pure joy, said
former UCLA linebacker Ramogi Huma, the
designated president of Northwesterns would-
be football players union.
An employee is regarded by law as someone
who, among other things, receives compen-
sation for a service and is under the strict,

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Matt Kavanaugh has
watched over the past several years as mid-
major programs like Butler, VCU and George
Mason have made runs to the Final Four.
The 6-foot-10 Dayton center said the
Flyers would be a good addition to that list.
But another upstart double-digit seed
stands in the way of that dream.
No. 11 Dayton (25-10) faces No. 10
Stanford (23-12) on Thursday in the Sweet
16 of the South Region with the winner earn-
ing a shot at playing for a spot in the Final
Four.
Every year theres that one team in the
like nal eight, Final Four that no one
expected to be there, and thats been our
mantra like Why cant that be us this
year? Kavanaugh said.
Both have reached this point by winning
games against favored opponents. Dayton
toppled Ohio State and Syracuse. Stanford
foiled New Mexico and Kansas.
Now theyre into the second weekend of
the tournament and ready to prove the early
upsets were no uke.
Stanford forward Josh Huestis says his
team has never considered itself a long shot.
The Cardinal have had plenty of big wins
this season even before the NCAAtourna-
ment beating teams like UConn, Oregon
and UCLAduring the regular season.
Coach (Johnny Dawkins) always tells us
that there are only a handful of teams that
come into this tournament thinking they
have a chance to win, Huestis said. The
rest of them are just happy to be here. We
pride ourselves on being a team that believes
we can win this whole thing.
Stanford certainly looked capable when it
stunned Kansas last weekend. The Cardinal
defense held the Jayhawks freshman phe-
nom Andrew Wiggins to just four points on 1
of 6 shooting.
Dawkins said the postseason has brought
out the best in his veteran team, which starts
three juniors and two seniors.

C
rystal Springs golfer David
Madding played quite the joke on
coach Ed Larios following the
Gryphons West Bay Athletic League
match at Poplar Creek Golf Course in San
Mateo Tuesday.
I came over to get his scorecard and he
said, Coach, I really screwed up, Larios
recounted. I said, What happened? He
said, I shot a 68. I said, What?
Turns out he was just pulling Larios
leg. Not only did Madding not shoot a
68, he red a new
school and high
school record at
Poplar Creek with a
5-under par 31.
Two years ago,
Ethan Wong from
Menlo shot a 34 and
that was an outstand-
ing score, Larios
said. There have
also been some 33s.
But none lower
than Maddings score Tuesday. Madding
played a bogey-free round on the front-
nine of Poplar Creek, draining ve
birdies. The amazing thing is, Madding
could have gone even lower.
He was putting for eagle four times,
Larios said. Davids not even our No. 1
golfer. Our No. 1 (Rashad Jaymes) shot
[an even-par] 36 after being 3-over for
the rst three holes.
[Jaymes, who played in the rst group
with Madding] said David was on re. He
said it was real exciting to watch.
Making the score even better is the fact
Madding is not a golfer by trade. Hes a
soccer player. He was named the WBALs
Midelder of the Year and Larios said he
will be attending Williams College in
Massachusetts this fall to play soccer.
I didnt expect this. I expected it from
[Jaymes] because hes a much better
golfer and he puts in the time, Larios

The Royal & Ancient Golf Club, exclu-
sively for men since it was founded 260
years ago at St. Andrews, will vote in
September on whether women can join the
club.
Its an exciting day for the club, R&A
club secretary Peter Dawson said
Wednesday. There will be quite a bit of
internal discussion between now and the
September vote. Its a matter for the mem-
bers to determine. All indications are very
supportive.
A statement from club said that all com-
mittees were strongly in favor of the rule
change and asked members to go along.
The move was hailed by British sports
minister Helen Grant, who was hopeful a
favorable vote would encourage other sin-
gle-sex golf clubs to follow suit.
Dawson, however, said the vote would
have no bearing on whether the British
Open is played on links courses that exclude
women as members Royal St. Georges ,
Royal Troon and Muirfield, where Phil
Mickelson won last year. The Open returns
to Troon in 2016.
I dont want you to think theres any
connection between this vote and these
issues, Dawson said. What other clubs
choose to do in the UK is not connected to
this. ... To be entirely honest, were not
here to put pressure on other clubs that have
supported The Open Championship and
other R&Achampionships.
The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St.
Andrews has about 2,400 members from
around the world and dates to 1754. The
clubhouse is among the most famous build-
ings in golf, overlooking the Old Course at
St. Andrews.
Augusta National for years was the sym-
bol of men-only golf clubs because it hosts
The Masters every April. The club
announced in August 2012 that it had invit-
ed women to join for the rst time former
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and
South Carolina nancier Darla Moore.

PHOENIX C.J. Wilson and Sonny Gray
allowed a run each in their nal spring train-
ing starts in the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 win
over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.
Wilson, slated to start the second regular-
season game for the Angels, allowed an
unearned run on four hits in seven innings,
striking out seven and walking two in his
nal tuneup.
C.J. looked great, Angels manager Mike
Scioscia said. He worked ahead and its a
great outing for him to get seven innings.
Gray, set to be the As opening day starter,
allowed a run on one hit with a walk and
strikeout in ve innings.
The most important thing is to continue
with the routine that Ive done all spring
training and I feel really good, especially the
last two or three times out, Gray said.
Angels second baseman Grant Green hit a
two-run home run in the seventh and is bat-
ting .360 as he makes a nal push for a big-
league roster spot. Brennan Boesch also
homered for the Angels.
Reliever Kevin Jepsen struck out the side
with a walk in the ninth to close out the
game.
Wilson threw 99 pitches in his start and
heads back to California after posting a 1.88
earned run average in six starts.
Gray was going to start in a minor-league
game until manager Bob Melvin saw the
Angels backups-and-minor-leaguers lineup.
Gray ended spring training with a 3.48 ERA
in six starts. Fun week, he said of the next
ve days until the opener. Im ready.
Billy Burns is trying to win a roster spot as
a reserve outelder, with his top competition
Sam Fuld and Michael Taylor also in the out-
eld with him on Wednesday. Burns was the
only one of the three to get a hit and led the
As in hits with 22 this spring (.310 aver-
age).
All four catchers currently on the Oakland
roster got into Wednesdays game. Jaso was
the starter and Derek Norris opened at desig-
nated hitter. Chris Gimenez replaced Jaso and
Stephen Vogt came on as the new DH in the
sixth.
Angels outelder Collin Cowgill is com-
peting for the major-league roster as a back-
up, and he might have helped his cause with
a diving catch of sinking y ball that turned
out to be Burns sacrice y.
Matt Long also stated his case on defense.
He sprinted in from deep right eld into foul
territory and slid near the As bullpen mound
to catch a y ball from Burns in the sixth.
Long doubled and drove in a run with a sacri-
ce y and is batting .426 in spring train-
ing.
The As played their nal spring training
game at Phoenix Municipal Stadium on
Wednesday and will move to Hohokam
Stadium in nearby Mesa for at least the next
20 years starting next spring. Oakland was
in Phoenix from 1982 to this year. Three
team employees including original equip-
ment manager Steve Vucinich were honored
before the game, and Vucinich, who joined
the club after their relocation from Kansas
City in 1968, threw the rst pitch.
It was a great spot for us, but now were
going to a place thats going to have better
upgrades for us, especially inside, which is
what we need, Melvin said.
Pitcher Dane De La Rosa will start the sea-
son on the disabled list due to a forearm
injury, but will throw in a minor-league game

Outelder Craig Gentry went 2-for-6 in a
minor-league game Tuesday as he returns
from a back injury. Hell play again
Thursday. Inelder Nick Punto is out until
Friday with a hamstring injury.
The Angels head back to Southern
California for the annual exhibition Freeway
Series, with Hector Santiago slated to pitch
against the Los Angeles Dodgers on
Thursday. Fridays starter was to be Joe
Blanton, but the Angels granted him his
release on Wednesday. Blanton will cost the
Angels $8.5 million to get rid of his con-
tract.

STANFORD Stanford coach Tara
VanDerveer vowed she was done hosting the
NCAAtournament a few years ago, viewing it
more as a headache than an advantage.
With few other viable West Coast options
available, VanDerveer was persuaded to do it
again but with a different approach. The play-
ers wont stay in their dorm rooms, there will
be a generic NCAA court at Maples Pavilion
and the second-seeded Cardinal will prepare
for Sundays Sweet 16 game against No. 3
seed Penn State just like they did on the open-
ing weekend halfway across the country in
Ames, Iowa.
You dont want your players to feel like
this is a home game, VanDerveer said
Wednesday. Its not. Were staying in a hotel
just like the other teams are staying in a
hotel. Were going through all the same
things like credentials that the other teams
do.
The big difference is the Cardinal (30-3)
dont need to get on a plane to travel and will
have thousands of cheering fans on hand to
help them get back to the Final Four after hav-
ing a ve-year streak snapped last season.
Were just excited to play in Maples, star
forward Chiney Ogwumike said. It was a
great focal point for us in the rst and second
rounds that we want to get back so bad. The
challenge for us as a team is what are we going
to do when were back? How are we going to
approach this game?
Stanford easily won the rst two games of
the tournament in Ames, beating South
Dakota 81-62 in the opener and then knock-
ing off 10th-seeded Florida State 63-44 in the
second round. The Cardinal caught a break
when the Seminoles knocked out host Iowa
State in the rst round, eliminating the hazard
of playing a true road game in the tournament.
The Cardinal won all 15 home games this
season and are 28-4 at Maples in NCAAtour-
nament play. They last lost a tournament
game here in 2007 in the second round to
Florida State, having won the past eight.
At the end of the day you want to play well
in front of your fans, Ogwumike said. You
dont want to put pressure on yourself. I think
we learned that by watching Iowa State play
Florida State. You dont want to put too much
pressure on yourself to win because of the
home crowd.
If the Cardinal are able to beat the Nittany
Lions (24-7) on Sunday, they will host the
winner of the game between top-seeded South
Carolina (29-4) and No. 4 seed North Carolina
(26-9) for a berth in the Final Four in
Nashville, Tenn.
This is the only regional where all four top
seeds advanced to the second weekend, giving
the Cardinal a difcult path to navigate if they
are to return to the Final Four.
But after three losses in the national semi-
nals and two championship game defeats dur-
ing a ve-year run, getting back to the Final
Four is not enough to satisfy the Cardinal.
Whats the elephant in the room? We want
to win a national championship, Ogwumike
said. This year we said every drill were try-
ing to do at national championship caliber.
When you use that language, national cham-
pionship, that sets your expectations high-
er.
The two coaching staffs know each other
well as Penn State coach Coquese Washington
and one of her assistants have visited
VanDerveer at her summer home in Western
New York the past two years to talk basketball
strategy.
Theyll probably know what were doing
pretty well and well probably know what
theyre doing pretty well, VanDerveer said.
It will come down to the players on the court
getting the job done.

Giants 2B Scutaro says
hell open on disabled list
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. San Francisco
Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro says
he will begin the season on the disabled
list.
Scutaro has been sidelined for most of the
spring with back problems.
The Giants didnt make an official
announcement before their game against
Colorado on Wednesday. But the 38-year-old
Scutaro says he is likely to remain in
Arizona for more treatment when the team
breaks camp.
Scutaro was plagued by back stiffness for
most of the 2013 season. He had a couple of
epidural injections earlier this spring and
recently had a cortisone injection.
Scutaros situation likely will leave
Joaquin Arias as the starting second base-
man. Arias started at third base on
Wednesday, with Pablo Sandoval nursing a
small cut in his hand.

ORLANDO, Fla. The NFL will place a
heavy emphasis on enforcing its player con-
duct rules, something Rams coach Jeff Fisher
calls a front-of-the-book issue.
As the leagues spring meetings wrapped up
Wednesday with Commissioner Roger Goodell
saying expansion of the playoffs next season
is possible, sportsmanship and lack thereof
was the prime topic.
Were going to clean the game up on the
eld, said Fisher, co-chairman of the inuen-
tial competition committee. The in-your-face
taunting, those types of things, the language.
Its all in the (rule) book. Its all under
unsportsmanlike conduct. Theres no change in
our rule. Were going to enforce the current
rule.
That includes abusive and racist language.
It includes everything, yes, Fisher said
with emphasis.
He noted that everyone is fed up when a lack
of sportsmanship occurs: owners, coaches,
fans, players.
The NCAAis hoping for us to do something
about it and weve got to take the lead, Fisher
said, and were going to do that.
The Miami Dolphins were plagued by a bul-
lying scandal last season after tackle Jonathan
Martin left the team. NFL investigators found
that guard Richie Incognito and two teammates
engaged in persistent harassment directed at
Martin, another offensive lineman and an
assistant trainer. Incognito was suspended for
the nal eight games of the season and no
longer is with the Dolphins.
Taunting penalties also were up last year,
Fisher said, from nine to 12 or 13.
In the past, taunting, sportsmanship was in
the back of the book under points of empha-
sis, he said. It is now in the front of the book.
It falls in our book right after all the statistical
things which were good about our game last
year. It is now a front-of-the-book issue. And
what we want to do is we want to be able to put
it back in the back of the book.
While the owners voted or tabled a dozen
rules or bylaw changes, expanding the playoffs
from 12 to 14 teams one in each conference
was discussed. Goodell is optimistic thats
coming, and he will discuss it with the players
union April 8. Avote could come as early as the
owners May meeting in Atlanta.
Could two extra wild-card games be imple-
mented for 2014?
Its not out of the question, Goodell said.
We have more work. I wouldnt rule it out, but
I wouldnt say thats the direction were head-
ing.
I think theres a tremendous amount of inter-
est in this, possibly even to the point of sup-
port. But there also are things we still want to
make sure we do right.
He believes expanded playoffs would make
late-season division and wild-card races more
compelling.
And two more postseason games would
increase TVrevenues.
Also on Wednesday, the owners:
Approved experimentation with extra-
point kicks from the 20-yard line for two weeks
in the preseason, but implementing longer
PATs for the regular season has been tabled.
Adopted proposals to extend the length of
the goalposts 5 feet to 35 feet to better deter-
mine if kicks are good; to no longer stop the
clock on sacks; and to allow video reviews on
plays with a recovery of a loose ball on the eld
even though the play had been whistled dead.
Rejected proposals to move kickoffs to
the 40-yard line; to allow more than one play-
er to be placed on injured reserve, then return to
the roster during the season; to subject person-
al foul penalties to video review; to permit
coaches to challenge any ofciating decision
except on scoring plays or turnovers, which
automatically are reviewed; and to eliminate
the rst preseason cutdown to 75 players.
Tabled proposals to raise the number of
active players for games not played on a
Sunday or Monday, except for opening week,
from 46 to 49; to raise the practice squad maxi-
mum from eight to 10 players; to eliminate
overtime in preseason games; to allow trades
after the Super Bowl and before the new league
year begins in March; to permit teams to test at
their facilities 10 players who attended the NFL
combine; to place xed cameras on the goal
lines, sidelines and end lines to aid replay
reviews; and to call pass interference in the area
1 yard or less from the line of scrimmage,
where it does not apply now.
On Tuesday, the owners approved allowing
referees to consult with the ofciating depart-
ment in New York on replay challenges, and
they voted to ban blockers from rolling up on
the side of the legs of a defender. The league
also barred players from dunking the ball over
the crossbar in celebration.

What weve done very well the last sever-
al games is we defended at a high, high level
every possession, Dawkins said. We
always talk about the importance of defend-
ing every possession. Its one thing to say
that its another thing to go out and exe-
cute it.
Dayton hopes to use its deep bench to
wear down Stanford. Flyers coach Archie
Miller uses an 11-man rotation to keep play-
ers fresh for the teams aggressive defense,
which smothered Ohio State and Syracuse
during the opening weekend.
Daytons balanced offense is led by 6-4
guard Jordan Sibert, who is averaging 13.1
points and shooting nearly 51 percent in
March. But the Flyers production is liable
to come from anywhere 11 different play-
ers have scored in double gures this season.
Stanford is heavily reliant on just a six-
man rotation. Chasson Randle, the
Cardinals star 6-foot-2 guard who scored 23
points against New Mexico and 13 against
Kansas, has played all 40 minutes in both
games.
But Miller said NCAA tournament games
with their frequent TV timeouts would
mitigate much of that advantage.
Im not sure if depths really an issue,
Miller said. I think, once you get late in the
year, youre fresh. Youre not talking about
it a lot. When youre on this stage, it is
adrenaline.
Stanfords main advantage over Dayton is
its size. Of the Cardinals six most-used
players, ve of them stand at least 6-6 and
three are 6-10 or taller. Miller acknowledged
Stanford would present some matchup prob-
lems, but was condent his team could han-
dle it.
Dayton is the Atlantic 10s lone represen-
tative in the Sweet 16 after six teams
received a tournament bid. The Flyers have
won 12 of their last 14 games.
Ohio State was big. Syracuse was really
big, Miller said. Weve played Gonzaga
and Cal and Baylor. They were big. Its not
really about playing against big people. Its
about executing your system versus the dif-
ferent styles you play against.
STANFORD
Even though Augusta National went 80
years without a female member, it had no
policy that barred women from joining. The
R&Ahad such a policy, and thats what will
be voted on in September.
Dawson said he did not think Augusta
Nationals decision had any bearing on the
R&AGolf Club.
We noted what happened at Augusta, he
said. They have their own procedure of
doing things. We are doing this because of
our governance role.
He also said the R&Adid not feel pressure
from any of its corporate sponsors, who
were subjected to the debate at the British
Open.
You can always ask that question: Why
now? Why not 10 years ago? The R&Ahave
been considering this. Its been on our
agenda, on our radar, for quite some time,
Dawson said. The feeling is as society
changes, as sport changes, as golf changes,
its something the R&A needs to do, and is
doing now as being forward-looking as we
can.
The 2,400-member club and the group
that runs The Open are separate entities.
For years, the men-only Royal & Ancient
was in charge of the Rules of Golf for every
country in the world except for the United
States and Mexico, which are governed by
the USGA. And it operated the British Open,
the oldest championship in golf.
Ten years ago, the administrative duties
were split off into a corporate structure that
is called The R&A, of which Dawson is
the chief executive. Thats the group in
charge of the Rules of Golf and organizing
The Open and other R&Achampionships.
And while The R&A has female employ-
ees, its committee and board roles are popu-
lated by members of the Royal & Ancient
Golf Club. So there are no women in leader-
ship roles when it comes to rules and cham-
pionship golf.
That likely will change with a favorable
vote in September for female members.
This is welcome news from the Royal &
Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, and I urge
its members to follow their committees
recommendations and vote yes for women
members, Grant said in a statement. It
would mark a step in the right direction for
the sport and I would hope encourage the
remaining golf clubs that still have
anachronistic single-sex member policies
to follow suit.
While the members have access to the
R&A clubhouse behind the rst tee at the
Old Course, R&Amembers belong to a club,
not a golf course. The seven golf courses at
St. Andrews are open to the public.
GOLF
said. David is a great athlete. If he dedicat-
ed himself to golf the way he is dedicated
to soccer, he could be a great golfer.
Not that Madding doesnt have any golf
experience. Larios said Madding and his
family are members at Burlingame Country
Club and that Madding told him last week
he played Olympic Club in San Francisco
and shot a 92 on that challenging course.
Poplar Creek is a walk in the park com-
pared to Olympic Club.
Poplar is a course you can do that (go
really low), Larios said. Theres not a lot
of trouble there.
Given Maddings go-for-it style, Larios
said he wouldnt have been surprised if
Madding did shoot a 68.
The last time we played [Poplar Creek],
he had a 48, Larios said. He just goes and
attacks. [He plays] high risk, high reward.
Hes that kind of kid.
So, did Larios have to add up Maddings
score several times to make sure it was
accurate?
The one thing I dont have to worry
about is if [the Crystal Springs players]
can add, Larios said. They have to check
my addition. I dont check theirs.

The series of rsts continues at the
revamped El Camino athletic facilities.
With a new all-weather eld and track
installed last summer/fall, the Colts hosted
their rst-ever Bell Game football game
against rival South City in November,
while the boys soccer team hosted its rst
Central Coast Section playoff game in
nearly 30 years in February.
Thursday will be the latest rst for the
Colts, as for the rst time in 20 years, they
will host a track meet when Oceana,
Jefferson and Woodside travel to South
City.
[The kids] are really excited. Its big
time. We have close to 80 track athletes
alone because (of the facilities), said El
Camino athletic director Jeff Cosico. I
was a student at El Camino in 1994 and as a
senior, we held one. Twenty years ago,
everyone had dirt tracks so it wasnt a big
deal. But it got to the point where every-
one else was getting these new tracks and
we stopped hosting [meets].
Cosico said the facilities have sparked a
renewed interest in El Camino athletics by
the student body. He expects to see more
athletes turning up to try out for teams
because of it.
(Longtime El Camino student, coach,
teacher and administrator Eric Jacobson)
and I are both PE teachers and we both see
the difference, Cosico said. (Before the
new facilities) a lot of the local kids were
going elsewhere to play sports. Back with
the old facilities, a lot of kids were turned
off. Now, hopefully we get kids wanting to
come our way to play.
In addition to hosting track meets this
season, El Camino will looking to set
another rst at the end of the school year:
the plan is to host, for the rst time, gradu-
ation ceremonies outside on the eld.
Cosico said graduation ceremonies had
always taken place in the gym previously.

WHATS ON TAP
Northwestern players, coaches are
the managers and scholarships are
a form of compensation, Ohr con-
cluded.
The Evanston, Ill., university
argued that college athletes, as stu-
dents, do not t in the same catego-
ry as factory workers, truck drivers
and other unionized workers. The
school announced plans to appeal
to labor authorities in Washington,
D.C.
Supporters of the union bid
argued that the university ultimate-
ly treats football as more impor-
tant than academics for scholarship
players. Ohr sided with the players.
The record makes clear that the
employers scholarship players are
identied and recruited in the rst
instance because of their football
prowess and not because of their
academic achievement in high
school, Ohr wrote. He also noted
that among the evidence presented
by Northwestern, no examples
were provided of scholarship play-
ers being permitted to miss entire
practices and/or games to attend
their studies.
The ruling described how the life
of a football player at
Northwestern is far more regiment-
ed than that of a typical student,
down to requirements about what
they can eat and whether they can
live off campus or purchase a car. At
times, players put 50 or 60 hours a
week into football, Ohr added.
Alan Cubbage, Northwesterns
vice president for university rela-
tions, said in a statement that
while the school respects the
NLRB process and the regional
directors opinion, we disagree
with it.

After what seems like the worst winter
ever, my garden has started to wake up. In
the past week, temperatures in my backyard
have uctuated between the low 60s and the
high teens with gusty winds, thanks to yet
another blast of Arctic air.
Swings like this are naturally frustrating
for gardeners (and non-gardeners as well),
but for the plants in my zone 6 garden these
temperature changes are all part of a normal
spring awakening process. A few days of
warmth followed by a few days of cold
ensures plants emerge from dormancy slow-
l y. From a plants perspective, growing too
quickly during a spell of warm weather could
be dangerous. Tender new growth or precious
newly forming ower buds might easily be
damaged by sudden drops in temperature.
Slowly emerging from dormancy is a
much safer strategy for most plants. There
are exceptions to this rule. Some of the
plants blooming now in my garden, despite
the ups and downs of the thermometers mer-
cury, are so perfectly adapted to temperature
uctuations that they seem not to notice.
While the popular small bulb Galanthus
nivialus, commonly called snow drops, are
often the rst spring owers to appear in
many gardens, they are not the rst in mine.
Before my snow drops begin their long-
awaited March show with cheery displays of
green-tipped white owers, small drifts of
bright yellow winter aconites, Eranthis cili-
cica, have already covered my woodland gar-
den with their buttercup shaped owers for
over a week.
Another early bulb, Crocus tommasini-
anus, also makes its late winter debut in my
garden before most other plants have even
started to stir. The owers of this prolic lit-
tle bulb may be smaller in size than their
larger hybrid cousins which bloom in
another month or so, but what they lack in
size they more than make up for in numbers.
When sited properly in a location that is
both well drained and sunny, this little cro-
cus with its slender lavender owers will rap-
idly reseed to form colonies that produce
hundreds of owers.
This year perhaps more than most, these
early bloomers are a welcomed sight.
Fortunately, they are as tough as they are
pretty. The day after hundreds of crocus
began blooming in my front garden, tem-
peratures dropped into the teens and were
accompanied by an inch and a half of snow.
The crocuses, the snow drops and the
aconites seemed not to care; they simply
folded up their owers and waited. Two days
later, when temperatures rose into the low
40s, they reopened.
Along with the bulbs, one of my favorite
deciduous shrubs is also an early bloomer.
Lonicera fragrantissima is a medium- to
large-sized shrub native to China and hardy
into zone 4. Its owers begin opening as
soon as temperatures rise slightly above
freezing. Its small, highly fragrant owers
are an important food source for honey bees
foraging for food on days warm enough for
them to leave their hives.
The kick off to spring in my garden actu-
ally begins in late winter. Although there are
not a lot of plants waking up early, the ones
that do make this season one of the most
anticipated of all. Carefully selecting plants
for your garden that are adapted to a variety
of conditions will ensure you have some-
thing interesting to look at all year long.
Crazy weather no problem for early bloomers
Winter aconite (Eranthis cilicica) is an early ower seemingly impervious to the cold and snow.

Culinary herbs are enjoying a revival
thanks to new varieties, stronger avors,
health concerns and more discerning
palates. Their low cost, attractiveness and
easy-to-grow attributes are making them
popular, too.
Herbs can add a lot of avor to cooked
dishes and lead to reductions in fat, salt and
cholesterol, said Gary Gao, a horticulturist
with Ohio State University Extension.
These days, he said, people tend to spend
more time at home and less time traveling.
Cooking meals at home also saves a lot of
money.
Food safety concerns are another reason
that many people plant herbs, he said.
Gardeners feel much better about their gar-
den-fresh herbs than what they buy.
New varieties have been introduced for
use with ethnic cooking, said George Ball,
chairman of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. Sales
have jumped 15 percent per year since
Burpee and its Cooks Garden sub-
sidiary launched their Pinnacle
Herbs Collection in
2012, he said.
Home cooks are
exper i ment i ng
with recipes out-
side the
standard or
c u s t o ma r y
menu, Ball
said. There
is an unbe-
lievable number
of more subtle
variations of taste of
single herbs and, par-
ticularly, combos of
herbs.
The Pinnacle Herbs line is made up of 50-
plus varieties planted in the porous com-
post pile soils of mountainous western
Pennsylvania.
Free of air pollution,
unltered light shining
down on the herbs
induces, fairly
quickly, higher
oil content pro-
d u c t i o n ,
Ball said in
an email.
Even dur-
ing pre-
shi ppi ng,
the smells
are drifting
off the
plants. Really
unique.
The differ-
ence between a good cook and
a great cook often comes down
to the use of culinary herbs how much to
use and how to pick them for optimal avor,
Ball said.
Herb avor declines and changes once
plants begin and continue owering, he
said. The best way to extend the harvest is
by pinching (back) the plants often to keep
them from owering and, worse yet for a-
vor, from growing seed stalks.
Culinary herbs make a good alternative
cash crop for small-scale growers, Gao said.
Their market ranges from home gourmet
cooks to restaurant chefs, health food and
grocery stores, farmers markets and food
processing companies.
Basil, cilantro, parsley, rosemary, tar-
ragon, sage and mint are the most common-
ly grown herbs for commercial use, Gao
said.
Herbs are inexpensive, whether sold as
seeds or plants. Try a taste test if undecided
about which herb to buy, suggests Rose
Marie Nichols-McGee, president of Nichols
Garden Nursery in Albany, Ore.
Go to a nursery and taste a little (leaf)
sample from one of the plants, she said. If
it doesnt have the avor you like, then its
obviously not a plant you want to buy.
Gourmet herbs: Tasty, attractive and easy to grow
SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Shirley Salemy Meyer
We bought food bowls, borrowed a crate
and dusted off baby gates. But soon after
we adopted our 13-week-old puppy, we dis-
covered the house really wasnt ready.
Clove, a Labrador retriever mix, chewed
wires we thought were hidden and investi-
gated stairs we thought shed ignore. She
rummaged through deep plastic bins hold-
ing smelly shin guards and plucked snow-
soaked mittens from our warm radiators.
Within a week of her arrival, we had to
block off power strips, reorganize our
mudroom, devise a new plan for drying
winter gear and gate the staircase.
Its a lot like having an infant in the
household, said Pamela Barlow, animal
behavior counselor at the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals adoption center in
New York City.
Barlow says puppies need
constant supervision and a
safe environment to explore.
She cautions against confining
them so much that they dont get outside
experiences. It is hard to go back and
socialize puppies if owners miss the win-
dow of opportunity to do so.
Puppies are drawn to things they can
chew on and are stimulated by things
that move, said Dr. Carlo Siracusa,
director of the Penn Vet Behavior
Service at the University of
Pennsylvania.
Many times we think that we should
protect our home from a new puppy,
Siracusa said, because the puppy could
potentially cause damage. But more
important is the opposite: making sure
that puppies are safe in their new home.
Most essential is to create a safe haven
a place where the puppy can rest and
sleep when there is too much excitement
or stimulation, such as when kids have
friends visiting, Siracusa says.
For the Sullivan family of South
Orange, N.J., a crate has proven to be
more useful for keeping their puppy,
Angus, safe than his exercise pen has.
Angus, a Bichon Frise-poodle mix now 5
months old, learned how to get out of the
pen the first day, said Elie Sullivan. She
keeps the door of his crate, located in her
sons room, open.
Hell go in there and have a nap, she
said as Angus, as soft as a skein of cash-
mere, cuddled in her lap.
Sullivan blocked stairs, moved low bas-
kets into closets and bought tall hampers
to prevent Angus from raiding the laundry.
I like my house, she said. I didnt
want it torn up.
She also ensured
that her house
plants are safe
for dogs.

research before
bringing home Teddy, an Australian
Labradoodle, when he was 9 weeks old.
Thanks to her planning and consistency
with Teddy, she has been amazed at how
fast he learned.
What she didnt expect, says Shield,
who lives in a Vi rginia suburb of
Washington, D.C., was how hard it would
be to prepare her three young sons and
supervise them with the puppy.
She has Teddys crate in the kitchen, a
safe place for him amid the household hub-
bub. Initially, Shield would occasionally
put Teddy in the crate when she needed to
do something and couldnt watch him;
now a bit older, hes just in the crate when
she leaves the house and at night, when he
sleeps.
Puppy-behavior experts
recommend these steps to
protect your puppy in your home:
Gate off rooms where you dont want
your puppy to roam. For instance, one of
Barlows clients is an artist with a studio
in her house. The artist
ga t e d
o f f
the studio
so the puppy couldnt run around the
easels, paint and chemicals.
Let puppies earn their freedom. Give
them one space or room at a time. That
way, owners can actively supervise them
and limit any bad behavior.
Create a safe confinement area a
crate or exercise pen, for instance
where the puppy can stay when you are not
home. There should be enough space for a
sleeping area and a potty area when pup-
pies are very young. Also essential are a
non-spill water bowl and safe, enriching
toys. Toys that are not safe for this area
when you are gone include tennis balls,
rope toys, toys that are shorter than
about double the length of the puppys
snout, and stuffed toys that have glass or
plastic eyes and noses, Barlow said.
Tape loose electrical cords. Use outlet
covers.
Store cleaning chemicals out of reach.
Use baby latches on cabinet doors if need-
ed.
Move breakables and valuables out of
the puppys reach. Roll up new or valuable
rugs until the puppy is house-trained.
In your yard:
Do not leave a puppy unsupervised,
and be sure to fence in your yard before
letting the puppy off leash.
Fence off the garden.
Use pet-safe gardening products,
and be sure any lawn service you
use does the same.
Store grill utensils
out of the puppys
reach.
Make sure a
swimming pool is
fenced.
Check the ASPCAs
list of poisonous plants.
As soon as puppies are old enough,
start training them, especially the drop
it and leave it commands.

Chinatown known as Shrimp Boy,
and Keith Jackson, Yees campaign
aide. The afdavit accuses Yee of con-
spiracy to deal firearms without a
license and to illegally import rearms.
Yee is also accused of accepting tens
of thousands of dollars in campaign
contributions and cash payments to
provide introductions, help a client get
a contract and inuence legislation. He
or members of his campaign staff
accepted at least $42,800 in cash or
campaign contributions from undercov-
er FBI agents in exchange for carrying
out the agents specic requests, the
court documents allege.
Yee discussed helping the agent get
weapons worth $500,000 to $2.5 mil-
lion, including shoulder-red missiles,
and explaining the entire process of
acquiring them from a Muslim sepa-
ratist group in the Philippines to bring-
ing them to the U.S., according to the
court document by FBI agent Emmanuel
V. Pascua.
Yee said he was unhappy with his life
and told the agent he wanted to hide out
in the Philippines, according to the
afdavit.
Theres a part of me that wants to be
like you, he told the undercover agent,
according to the afdavit. You know
how Im going to be like you? Just be a
free agent there.
The introduction with the trafcker
took place at a San Francisco restaurant
earlier this month, according to the
documents. Yee said he wouldnt go to
the Philippines until November.
Once things start to move, its
going to attract attention. We just got
to be extra-extra careful, he said,
according to court documents.
Chow and Yee were arrested
Wednesday during a series of raids in
Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay
Area.
Jackson, a former San Francisco
school board president and well-known
political consultant who raised money
for Yees unsuccessful mayoral run in
2011 and his current bid for secretary of
state, was also in custody.
Jackson, 49, did not enter a plea
Wednesday as the FBI accused him of
being involved in a murder-for-hire
scheme and trafcking guns and drugs.
He was denied bail and is due back in
court Monday.
Yee wore handcuffs and was shackled
at the waist when he appeared in court
Wednesday afternoon with 20 other
defendants. His demeanor was down-
cast, and he looked nervously into the
packed gallery of about 100 reporters
and other observers.
Yee was charged with six counts of
depriving the public of honest services
and one count of conspiracy to trafc in
guns without a license. He did not enter
a plea. He was being held on $500,000
bail, and his passport has been cons-
cated.
If convicted on all the counts against
him, Yee faces up to 125 years in
prison.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, who was
anked by 14 other Democratic sena-
tors at a news conference in his Capitol
ofce, called on Yee to resign from the
Senate or face suspension.
Dont burden your colleagues and
this great institution with your trou-
bles. Leave, he told reporters. Absent
that, we are prepared to go to the oor
immediately and suspend him, and we
will do so if necessary.
Yees Senate spokesman, Dan
Lieberman, declined to comment and
said he did not know if Yee had an attor-
ney. Yees chief of staff, Jordan Curley,
did not respond to a message left on her
cellphone.
According to court documents, Yee
performed ofcial acts in exchange
for donations from undercover FBI
agents, as he sought to dig himself out
of a $70,000 debt incurred during a
failed San Francisco mayoral bid in
2011.
Yee is also accused of accepting
$10,000 in January 2013 from an
undercover FBI agent in exchange for
making a call to the California
Department of Public Health in support
of a contract it was considering.
The agent who discussed arms with
Yee presented himself as a member of
Ghee Kung Tong, a fraternal organiza-
tion in San Franciscos Chinatown that
Chow reportedly headed. It was among
the sites searched Wednesday.
Fireghters were seen going inside
with a circular saw and later said they
had cracked a safe. FBI agents exited
with boxes and trash bags full of evi-
dence that they loaded into an SUV.
Chow is accused of money launder-
ing, conspiracy to receive and trans-
port stolen property, and conspiracy to
trafc contraband cigarettes.
He was denied bail because he was
deemed a ight risk and a danger to the
public. The Department of Homeland
Security has been trying to deport
Chow, who is not a U.S. citizen, since
he was released from prison in 2005.
Yee is the third Democratic state sen-
ator in California to face charges this
year. Sen. Rod Wright was convicted of
perjury and voter fraud for lying about
his legal residence in Los Angeles
County, and Sen. Ron Calderon has
been indicted on federal corruption
charges. Wright and Calderon are tak-
ing a voluntary leave of absence, with
pay, although Republicans have called
for them to be suspended or expelled
from the Legislature.
Yee, 65, represents western San
Francisco and much of San Mateo
County. He is best known for his efforts
to strengthen open records, govern-
ment transparency and whistle-blower
protection laws, including legislation
to close a loophole in state public
records laws after the CSU Stanislaus
Foundation refused to release its
$75,000 speaking contract with former
vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin
in 2010.
Chow ran a Chinese criminal organi-
zation with ties to Hong Kong and was
convicted of gun charges. But he had
recently been held up as an example of
successful rehabilitation and was
praised for his work in the community.
Yees arrest came as a shock to
Chinese-Americans who see the senator
as a pioneering leader in the communi-
ty and a mainstay of San Francisco pol-
itics, said David Lee, director of the
Chinese American Voters Education
Committee.
People are waiting to see what hap-
pens, and they are hoping for the best,
that the charges turn out not to be true,
said Lee, whose organization just held a
get-out-the-vote event with Yee and
other ofcials last week.
For his efforts to uphold the
California Public Records Act, Yee was
honored last week by the Northern
California chapter of the Society of
Professional Journalists for his efforts
to maintain the requirements of the
California Public Records Act.
Yee has at times clashed with fellow
Democrats for casting votes of con-
science, refusing to support the
Democratic budget proposal in 2011
because of its deep cuts to education,
social services and education. He also
opposed legislation by a fellow
Democrat, Assemblyman Paul Fong of
Cupertino, that banned the sale of shark
ns used for Chinese shark n soup,
saying that it unfairly targeted the
Chinese-American community.
Yee is among three Democrats run-
ning this year for secretary of state, the
ofce that oversees elections and cam-
paign nance reporting.
A man was charged last year for
threatening Yee over legislation that he
proposed to limit rapid reloading of
assault weapons. Lee also authored leg-
islation that that would have required
the state to study safe storage of
rearms.
Chow acknowledged in an unpub-
lished autobiography that he ran pros-
titution rings in the 1980s, smuggled
drugs and extorted thousands from busi-
ness owners as a Chinatown gang mem-
ber, KGO-TVreported two years ago.
In 1992, Chow was among more than
two dozen people indicted on racketeer-
ing charges for their alleged involve-
ment in crimes ranging from teenage
prostitution to an international drug
trade mostly involving heroin.

bate requests that Cinyere Egu be ap-
pointed as personal representative to ad-
minister the estate of the decedent.
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

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 8, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
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.

YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF
THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING

any reason, the purchaser at the sale
shall be entitled only to a return of the
deposit paid, plus interest. The pur-

against the beneficiary, the Trustor or
the trustee. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should under-
stand that there are risks involved in bid-
ding at a trustee auction. You will be bid-
ding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auc-
tion does not automatically entitle you to
free and clear ownership of the property.
You should also be aware that the lien
being auctioned off may be a junior lien.
If you are the highest bidder at the auc-
tion, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien being
auctioned off, before you can receive
clear title to the property. You are en-
couraged to investigate the existence,
priority and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title in-
surance company, either of which may
charge you a fee for this information. If
you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same lend-
er may hold more than one mortgage or
deed of trust on the property. NOTICE
TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date
shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and if applicable, the rescheduled
time and date for the sale of this proper-
ty, you may call 877-484-9942 or 800-
280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site
www.USA-Foreclosure.com or www.Auc-
tion.com using the file number assigned
to this case 7233.25448. Information
about postponements that are very short
in duration or that occur close in time to
the scheduled sale may not immediately
be reflected in the telephone information
or on the Internet Web site. The best
way to verify postponement information
is to attend the scheduled sale. Date:

WORLD 28
By Todd Pitman and Rob Griffith
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia They are
the most tantalizing clues yet: 122 objects
spotted by satellite, floating in the turbu-
lent Indian Ocean where officials believe
the missing Malaysian jetliner went down.
But bad weather, the passage of time and
the sheer remoteness of their location kept
answers out of the searchers grasp.
Nineteen days into the mystery of Flight
370, the discovery of the objects that
ranged in size from 3 feet to 75 feet,
offered the most credible lead that we
have, a top Malaysian official said
Wednesday.
With clouds briefly thinning in a stretch
of ocean known for dangerous weather, air-
craft and ships from six countries combed
the waters far southwest of the Australian
coast. Crews saw only three objects, one
of them blue and two others that appeared
to be rope.
But search planes could not relocate
them or find the 122 pieces seen by a
French satellite. Limited by fuel and dis-
tance, they turned back for the night.
That echoed the frustration of earlier
sweeps that failed to zero in on three
objects seen by satellites in recent days.
Forecasters warned that the weather was
likely to deteriorate again Thursday, possi-
bly jeopardizing the search for the
Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 that van-
ished early March 8 en route from Kuala
Lumpur to Beijing.
With the search in motion, Malaysian
officials again sought to assuage the angry
relatives of the flights 153 Chinese pas-
sengers. But Defense Minister
Hishammuddin Hussein also expressed
exasperation. About two-thirds of the
missing are Chinese, but Hishammuddin
pointedly said Chinese families must also
understand that we in Malaysia also lost
our loved ones, as did so many other
nations.

BRUSSELS The United States plans to
join with other NATO nations in increasing
ground and naval forces in Eastern Europe as
part of the military alliances response to
Russias incursion in Ukraine, the White
House said Wednesday.
The specics of the NATO plan were still
being nalized, including the size of the
force increase. Rather than significantly
boosting U.S. military presence in the
region, the move seemed aimed instead at
showing symbolic support for NATO mem-
bers near Russias borders.
President Barack Obamas deputy national
security adviser, Ben Rhodes, said NATO
was aiming to provide a
continuous presence to
reassure our allies.
While he would not detail
specific countries where
the additional resources
would be sent, he noted
that the U.S. was particu-
larly focused on efforts to
bolster Poland, Estonia,
Lithuania and Latvia.
Rhodes briefed reporters as Obama trav-
eled to Rome from Brussels, where he met
with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh
Rasmussen, as well as European Union lead-
ers. In a speech from the heart of Europe,
Obama declared the crisis in Ukraine a glob-
al moment of testing.
Egypt army chief says
he will run for president
CAIRO Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the
Egyptian military chief who last summer
removed the elected Islamist president,
announced Wednesday that he will run for
president in elections expected next month,
putting him on an apparent track to lead a
nation beleaguered by ongoing turmoil and
violence, a broken political order, a dilapi-
dated economy and concerns over the
chances for building a democracy.
Wearing his military fatigues in a nation-
ally televised speech, el-Sissi announced he
was resigning from the
armed forces a required
step since only civilians
can run for president. He
declared that it was the
last time he would wear
his uniform because he
was stepping down to run
president and continue to
defend the country. He
said he was answering
the demand of a wide
range of Egyptians.
