Being uninsured in America will cost you more

Those who were uninsured last year face fines, unless they qualify for exemptions
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Being uninsured in America will cost you

more in 2015.
Its the first year all taxpayers
have to report to the Internal
Revenue Service whether they had
health insurance for the previous

year, as required under President

Barack Obamas law. Those who
were uninsured face fines, unless
they qualify for one of about 30
exemptions, most of which
involve financial hardships.

couldnt afford it in 2014, as
required by the law.
Its touted as this amazing thing,
but right now, for me, it doesnt fit
into my budget, she said.

Program that backed Solyndra showing successes

By Henry C. Jackson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON At the RV Park he owns

in a remote corner of southwestern Kansas,
Jan Leonard is seeing the benefits of one of
the federal governments most contentious
programs.
Development is booming in tiny
Hugoton, a town of roughly 3,900 people.
The town is the site of a new cellulosic
ethanol refinery that was funded in part by a
loan guarantee from the Department of
Energy. The same program funded high-profile flops like Solyndra, the Fremont-based
solar company that filed for bankruptcy and
led to hearings over the Barack Obama
administrations backing of unproven
green-energy projects.
But in Hugoton, which Leonard describes
as pretty far from nothing, more trailers
are rolling in to his park and new businesses are popping up.
Theres a Dollar General getting built, a
new motel getting built. Another grocery
store getting built, Leonard said in a phone
interview. Theres a lot of different people
coming to town. Its been big.
The plant has a work force of 75 and an
annual payroll of $5 million. When it was
established in 2009, as part of Obamas
stimulus package, the clean energy loan
guarantee program was billed as a two-fer: It
would provide billions of dollars for environment-friendly energy and it would create
jobs.
Instead, the program became synonymous
with failure and a regular talking point for
conservatives.
Besides Solyndra, three other subsidized
companies went bust at a cost of $780 million. Critics, especially Republicans in
Congress, seized on it as an example of
government waste.
But roughly six years on, there are more
signs that the program is working. In
California, Tesla Motors has flourished,

For Obama, high

ambitions, less
power to achieve
By Julie Pace and Nancy Benac
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON It was supposed to be a joke. Are you still

president? comedian Stephen
Colbert asked Barack Obama earlier this month.
But the question seemed to speak
to growing weariness with the
president and skepticism that anything will change in Washington
during his final two years in office.
Democrats already are checking out
Obamas potential successors.
Emboldened Republicans are trying to push aside his agenda in
favor of their own.
At times this year, Obama
seemed ready to move on as well.
He rebelled against the White
House security bubble, telling
his Secret Service detail to give
him more space. He chafed at being
sidelined by his party during
midterm elections and having to
adjust his agenda to fit the political
interests of vulnerable Democrats
who lost anyway.
Yet the election that was a disaster for the presidents party
may have had a rejuvenating
effect on Obama. The morning
after the midterms, Obama told
senior aides, If I see you mop-

ing, you will answer to me.

People close to Obama say he is
energized at not having to worry
about helping or hurting
Democrats in another congressional election on his watch. He
has become more comfortable
with his executive powers, moving unilaterally on immigration,
Internet neutrality and climate
change in the last two months.
And he sees legacy-building
opportunities on the international
stage, from an elusive nuclear deal
with Iran to normalizing relations
with Cuba after a half-century
freeze.
He gained some clarity for the
next two years that is liberating,
said Jay Carney, who served as
Obamas press secretary until this
spring. He doesnt have as much
responsibility for others.
Still, pillars of Obamas secondterm agenda gun control, raising
the federal minimum wage, universal pre-school seem destined to
stand unfulfilled. Wrapping up the
Iraq and Afghanistan wars isnt
turning out to be nearly the tidy
success story Obama once envisioned. Even supporters say one of
the presidents top remaining priorities may have to be simply preventing Republicans from disman-

tling his earlier accomplishments,
including the health care law.
The Yes-We-Can man is entering
a twilight of maybes, his presidency still driven by high ambitions
but his power to achieve them running out.
Before the midterm election
results arrived, Obamas advisers
say, the president realized he would
finish his presidency with
Republicans running Capitol Hill.
Whatever
message
the
Democrats defeat sent about the
presidents own standing, Obama
concluded the status quo meant
more gridlock.
Indeed, 2014 had been another

year of fits and starts for a White

House that has struggled to find its
footing in Obamas second term.
The feeble HealthCare.gov website stabilized, but scandal
enveloped the Veterans Affairs
Department. Syria got rid of its
chemical weapons, but a violent
extremist group pulled the U.S.
back into military conflict in the
Middle East. The unemployment
rate fell, but so did Obamas
approval ratings to the lowest
levels of his presidency, worse
than the second-term averages for
most recent presidents.
I dont care who you are, after
eight years or six years of the pres-

idency, your influence has eroded,

said Robert Dallek, a historian who
has met periodically with Obama.
Even someone like Eisenhower or
Reagan, you just cant sustain it.
While White House officials
acknowledge the presidency has
challenges in its waning years,
they say recent economic gains and
executive actions on immigration
and climate change show Obama
still can exert considerable influence.
This year the presidents policy
successes vastly outstripped his
political successes, said Dan
Pfeiffer, a senior White House
adviser.

Firefighters placed on leave as probe proceeds

By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Sixteen state

firefighters were placed on paid
administrative leave Monday for unrelated policy violations that grew out
of an investigation into allegations
of firefighters having sex on fire
trucks, officials said.
The investigation began in May
after fire academy instructor and battalion chief Orville Fleming was
charged with murder in the death of a
former escort who became his girlfriend.
Flemings estranged wife told
Sacramento County sheriffs investigators and reporters then that she had
viewed a video showing the victim,
Sarah June Douglas, 26, having sex

with her husband and other firefighters on fire trucks.

The investigation has already
determined that allegations of a sex
tape are unfounded, California
Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection spokeswoman Janet Upton
said. Nor was there any use of prostitutes or other improper sexual activity
on state time or equipment, she said.
Sacramento County deputies also
previously said they never found a
video, but CalFire asked the
California Highway Patrol to investigate because of the seriousness of the
allegations. The formal results of the
investigation are expected early next
month.
Upton said the firefighters were
placed on paid leave on suspicion of
a variety of policy violations unre-

lated to allegations of a sex tape.

Further details were not disclosed.
The majority of the employees are
or were full-time instructors at the
departments fire academy in Ione,
where Fleming worked, 40 miles
southeast of Sacramento, she said.
Highway Patrol spokeswoman Fran
Clader said she would not comment,
referring inquiries to CalFire.
Mike Lopez, president of the union
representing department employees,
and union spokesman Terry McHale
both said they were given no details
on the allegations faced by the suspended firefighters.
If there are employees who broke
protocols or procedures with academy
or department policies, thats a very
sad situation that nobodys proud of,
Lopez said.

Cuba-U.S. detente

Mills High School Matters

Protect the Future of our Students and our School
We call on the San Mateo Union High School District Board of
Trustees to nd a new location for Design Tech Charter High
School for the 2015-2016 school year. The Trustees should
honor their original commitment to the Mills community that
co-location on the Mills High School campus would be limited
to one year.
Mills High School should not be placed at risk. Mills High
School has a proven track record of educational excellence
and the Trustees should do everything in their power to
preserve and enrich this outstanding educational asset for our
community.
The Mills High School campus is simply not large enough to
support the growing needs of the charter high school. A
Board-appointed co-location taskforce previously concluded
that a second year for the charter school on the Mills campus
was untenable and detrimental to Mills High School. Design
Techs enrollment is expected to double next year, requiring
additional classrooms and other facilities of up to 28,000sf to
support its experimental program.
We strongly urge the Board of Trustees to act in the best interest of all our students. Find a new location NOW for Design
Tech that enables students at both schools to thrive.

Greece calls early election,

stoking financial concerns
By Elena Becatoros
and Nicholas Paphitis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS, Greece Greeces government

was forced Monday to call early national
elections, stoking financial concerns as
investors worry the main opposition party
will win and want to renege on the countrys bailout deal.
The Athens stock market closed 3.9 percent lower, recovering from an earlier 11.3
percent plunge on news of the election,
which was triggered by parliaments failure
to elect a new president.
Investors fear the left-wing opposition
Syriza party, which has a narrow but steady
lead in opinion polls, might act on popular
resentment at six years of government austerity by seeking to overhaul the international bailout deal.
At the height of the eurozone crisis in
2010-2012, Greeces financial turmoil
risked breaking up the currency union, an
event which would have shaken the global
economy.
The risks today are not as great, analysts
say. For one, little of Greeces debt is held
by private investors around the world, but
mainly its bailout creditors, the
International Monetary Fund and other
eurozone countries.
Also, the European Union and European
Central Bank now have programs meant to
stabilize markets and support confidence in
eurozone markets.
Due to the policy advances made, the
safeguards that have been put in place and
the ECBs stated public commitment to
doing whatever is necessary to keep the

eurozone together, events in Greece now

pose much less of a threat to the eurozone
than a few years ago, IHS Global Insight
economist Howard Archer said in a note.
However, should a new government seek
changes to the deal, Greeces access to credit would be delayed just as its bailout loans
are coming to an end. Greece still cannot
finance itself independently on bond markets, so it faces the danger of a default that
could hurt the finances of fellow European
countries.
The IMF said Monday a current review of
Greeces bailout program upon which
depends the payment of the next batch of
rescue loans will resume only after the
new government is in place. It said Athens
faces no immediate financing needs, however. The review has been stalled for
months due to disagreements on new spending cuts.
Greek conservative Prime Minister
Antonis Samaras said national elections,
the fourth in six fraught years of financial
crisis, will be held at the soonest possible
date Sunday, Jan. 25, 18 months early.
The country has no time to waste,
Samaras said in a televised address after the
presidential vote. The people must learn
the truth about how easy it is to relapse into
the deepest and most dramatic crisis.
In the presidential vote, his coalitions
candidate for the post, 73-year-old former
European commissioner Stavros Dimas,
garnered 168 out of 300 possible votes
short of the 180 needed to win. It was the
third and final round of voting. According
to the constitution, the votes failure means
parliament has to be dissolved within 10
days.

Ferry passengers recount chaos:

No fire alarm, just thick smoke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BARI, Italy There were no fire alarms

at first, no knocks on the door from the
crew, just thick, acrid smoke filling cabins
and waking passengers on the overnight
ferry from Greece to Italy.
In the chaos that followed, passengers
said, they received virtually no instructions
from the crew. The principle of women and
children first went out the window, and passengers started pushing and shoving and
came to blows over seats in the lifeboats
and helicopter baskets.
Everyone there was trampling on each
other to get onto the helicopter, Greek
truck driver Christos Perlis told the
Associated Press by telephone from one of

the rescue vessels summoned after the

Italian-flagged ferry caught fire in the
Adriatic Sea off Albania early Sunday.
The jungle law prevailed, said another
Greek passenger, Irene Varsioti. There was
no queue or order. No respect was shown for
children.
Italian and Greek helicopter rescue crews
Monday evacuated the last of the known
survivors aboard the crippled, fire-blackened vessel, bringing the number rescued to
427.
But the death toll climbed to at least 10,
and rescuers searched below deck and
scoured the surrounding waters for more
possible victims amid serious discrepancies in the ships manifest and confusion
over how many people were aboard.

The economy as an enemy to terrorism

Other voices

Tuscaloosa (Alabama) News

hats a terrorist state to do?

Living was so easy in the early
days when the Iraqi army cut and
ran and the coffers were overowing with
illicit donations. Now people want the
trains to run on time and theres nothing
but headaches.
Yes, the Islamic States leaders are nding that its a lot easier to blow things up
and cut peoples heads off than it is to actually govern a conquered region. A country
actually needs a functioning economy, and
the Islamic State is discovering that the
hard way.
When the extremists, ush with cash,
rst settled into their new digs, people

loved them. Its easy to buy adulation with

subsidized prices that make fuel and staples
cheaper. But American airstrikes are making supplies harder to come by. That naturally leads to a ourishing black market,
and there are no subsidies or price controls
on illicit trade.
We are not able to pay for cooking gas,
kerosene and food, said a 56-year-old government retiree living in occupied Mosul.
The situation in Mosul is miserable.
The reason is quite simple. The extremists have created an economy that is unsustainable, said Paul Sullivan, an expert on
Middle East economies at the National
Defense University in Washington.

Smuggled oil sold at well below market

value is a big part of that economy.
Eventually, the costs of keeping the
subsidies and price controls going will
overpower their smuggling funds, which
are also used for offensive and defensive
operations, Sullivan said.
The economic turmoil is a tangible sign
that American attacks are having an
impact. Its one thing to eld an army of
insurgents and keep them fed and equipped.
Its another thing to support an entire society and all of its basic needs, like food,
clean water, sanitation and electricity.
Keeping the pressure on the Islamic State
will make life more difcult for civilians
who arent involved in the ghting. That is
unfortunate. But in the end, that may do
more to undermine the Islamic State than
an army in the eld.

Do you trust Obama?
Editor,
Illegal immigrants are rightly scared of
trusting Obamas illegal executive action
and risking their lives and childrens
futures on a man who famously lied to
Americans: If you like your health insurance you can keep your health insurance.
Why would illegals trust Obama
now?Obamas illegal executive action
will be reversed and overturned by the
conservative U.S. Supreme Court and the
next president. The 2014 Republican
national election tidal wave happened
because Obama threatened unilateral dictator-like immigration amnesty. Illegals
who voluntarily list their identities,
addresses and childrens names and who
legally admit they willingly broke U.S.
Immigration laws make themselves easier to deport after Obamas gone. Obama
didnt give legal amnesty.
Instead, Obama illegally decreed he
wont enforce the U.S. Constitution or
U.S. immigration laws because he wants
to buy Hispanic votes. But Hispanics
remember that Obama famously told
Univision in 2009 and 2011 that he wasnt a king and legally couldnt just decide
not to deport millions of illegals.
Twenty-one states already sued Obama to
overturn his illegal action. Trust Obama
with your life?

postpone exams because they were traumatizedby recent grand jury decisions in
Ferguson and New York. According to
Bloomberg BusinessWeek, students stated
the decisions and subsequent outrage
have kept them awake at night, distracted
them and made them question the integrity of the very legal system they are
preparing to enter. They also complain of
time constraints: Taking part in local
protests has limited the time they have to
prepare for exams.
This has led David Bernstein, a professor at the George Mason University
School of Law, to wonder if law schools
have chosen to infantilize them [students], suggesting that adult law students
cant handle hearing about perceived
injustices in the world.
During this time Columbia and Harvard
medical students managed to attend to the
needs of their patients; interns and residents put in full days and in addition,
when on call, they cared for their patients
during the night as well. In this imperfect
world, they manage to hold it together,
probably because they understand that all
lives matter. This is part of what defines
them as professionals and as people of
integrity.
When an American university presidents statement that all lives matter
requires a public apology, one wonders
whether we, as a nation, have indeed been
fundamentally transformed.

Drinking is
for the birds

hink you and your friends do some

drunken tweeting after a few too
many appletinis?
Youve gotten nothing, it seems, on a
bunch of real bird brains. No, seriously.
Researchers at Oregon Health and Science
University fed a bunch of zebra nches
alcohol-spiked juice to learn more about
how adult beverages impact human speech.
Much like a crazed girls night out with the
radio cranked up or hung heavy with peer
pressure to karaoke I Will Survive, the
buzzed birds
slurred their
songs.
Specically,
according to
the ndings,
some of the
syllables were
less intelligible than others
and their songs
grew quieter
over time, not
unlike those
happy drinkers
who slide into la la land after one too many
toasts. What the researchers cant tell yet
is if the birds themselves know they and
their feathery pals sound different, too.
This unique experiment proves two
things. First, as often stated in this column
space, scientists and researchers can get
paid to study just about anything. The rest
of us are apparently lacking in creativity if
we cant gure out something to study in
the name of science and grant money. And
two, my dog is obviously not the only animal to sneak a drink when the opportunity
arises.
For the record, before the activists cry
foul, this experiment was not a case of animal cruelty or contributing to the delinquency of a winged minor. These birds were
offered the drinks reportedly a lovely,
frothy concoction of juice and 6 percent
alcohol although these scientic mixologists arent disclosing the exact type of
poison or if it merited a sugar rim and
voluntarily accepted. There were no fraternity-style funnels held above their beaks
or freshman bouts of beer pong. Likely,
the nches were simply curious and besides
wouldnt it be rude to say no?
But we all know where this innocent fun
leads. One drink turns into two turns into
12. Next thing you know, the birds are
squawking about each other, promising to
be best friends forever, thinking look at
the wingspan on that one and offering
late-night invitations to their nest. The
next morning, much like their human counterparts, these birds will have to face up to
their ight of shame and drunken tweets
from the night before. Although for the
birds, at least those tweets are best forgotten musical memories rather than ever-lasting social media stamps for all to see.
Joking aside, this bit of scientic
endeavor is particularly important now just
a day before New Years Eve when every
wanna-be American Idol and even those
knowing their vocal limitations will nd
their inner diva in a bottle of liquid courage
and proceed to at the very least butcher
Auld Lang Syne not a difcult feat
even under the most sober of conditions.
Undoubtedly, guys and gals will shed
their shy demeanors while others prod
them on drunken birds of a feather and
all. And after an all-night binger ringing in
the start of 2015, chances are most of this
dehydrated and headachy ock will be internally promising themselves never again.
Straighten up and y right. That is, right
after enjoying just a little hair of the dog.

NEW YORK U.S stocks inched

mostly higher in light trading on
Monday as investors shrugged off
falling energy prices, a plunging
Russian ruble and fears that Greece
could renege on its bailout.
Stocks wavered throughout the day,
with the Dow Jones industrial average moving between gains and losses
several times. In the end the bluechip index closed down slightly, but
other major indexes recorded tiny
gains.
Most of the bad news came from
overseas ... and that makes the U.S.
market more attractive, said Jack
Ablin, chief investment officer at
BMO Private Bank. Investors are
shifting money from overseas.

The Nasdaq composite rose 0. 05
points to 4,806.91
With little economic or company
developments in the U.S., investors
focused on news that Greece will have
to call snap elections next month
that could bring more economic turmoil to the country. The opposition
Syriza party, which is against terms

of the international bailout of the

country, is leading in the polls.
The Athens exchange closed with a
loss of 4 percent after falling as much
as 11 percent earlier. Several
European markets also slumped, with
Italys benchmark index losing 1.1
percent.
In Russia, the ruble fell 8 percent
against the U.S. dollar after a rally
last week. Russian monetary officials
have made stabilizing the currency a
priority amid slumping oil revenues
and unease about the countrys economic outlook.
Despite the troubles abroad developing for several weeks now, U.S.
stocks have been rising on optimism
over the U.S. economy.
Employers are on track to hire nearly 3 million workers this year, the
most since the dot-com boom year of
1999. The unemployment rate has
dropped to 5.8 percent, down about a
percentage point since the start of
the year. And the U.S. economy grew
at an annualized rate of 5 percent in
the July-September quarter, the
fastest in 11 years.
On Monday, six of 10 industry sectors in the S&P 500 rose, led by a 1.1
percent gain in utilities.

stocks are being pushed higher in

heads, investors who tend to put off
plowing money into IRAs until the
closing days of each year.
All of a sudden they wake up, and
realize, I need to do this to get my
tax deduction, he says.
The S&P 500 has hit record highs
more than 50 times so far this year
and has tripled from the 12-year low
it reached in the depths of the financial crisis in 2009.
The index now trades at 17.8 times
what companies in the index are
expected to earn over the next 12
months, according to FactSet, a data
provider. That is above the 10-year
average of about 15 times.
In other developments overseas,
Chinas official Xinhua News Agency
reported Sunday that regulators will
change accounting rules for bank
deposits to free up more money for
lending. That could help boost economic growth, which slumped to a
five-year low in the latest quarter.
The news helped lift Asian markets.
Hong Kongs Hang Seng index

WASHINGTON Th e Un i t ed

global growth in 2015.
After long struggling to claw its
way out of the Great Recession, the
worlds biggest economy is on an
extended win streak that is edging it
closer to full health. But the new
year doesnt look quite so bright in
other major countries.

Palys 3-point prowess too much for Menlo

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Subtract the efforts of Palo Altos 3-point

extraordinaire Lauren Koyama from Monday
nights tournament semifinal and Menlo
could have walked to victory.
Koyama was a force from beyond the arc,
however, burying six 3-point shots to
account for all of her game-high 18 points
in leading Paly (9-1) to a 51-44 victory
over Menlo (6-2) in the semifinals of the

Steve Geramoni Tournament at Notre Dame

Belmonts Moore Pavilion.
Paly jumped out to an early lead, holding
as much as a 13-point advantage in the first
half. But even as Koyama ran cold in the
third quarter, the Vikings managed to weave
through the aggressive Menlo full-court
press with precision passing. The Vikings
ultimately outscored the Knights in each of
the first three quarters.
As long as we play hard, we can be in any
game, Menlo head coach John Paye said.

Its just unfortunate weve struggled with

our shooting since Christmas.
Indeed, the Knights ran cold again
Monday, hitting just three field goals in the
first half. Menlo was 13-for-67 shooting in
the game.
Menlo did get some comeback momentum
generated in the fourth quarter. With Paly
leading 42-28 after three quarters of play, the
Knights went on an 8-2 run, capped by a
short-range jumper from junior forward
McKenzie Duffner to cut Palys lead to 44-35.

Menlos Erisman heating up

Athlete of the Week

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Menlos 3-point shooting has been quite

temperamental over the past two weeks.
Case in point point guard Sam Erisman.
After hitting six 3-pointers through the
first three games for the Menlo girls basketball team, the sophomore went ice cold
from beyond the arc. Erisman was just 1 for
8 in the Knights only loss of the season
Dec. 19 to Menlo-Atherton. In Menlos
three wins since, she has knocked down just
3 of 26 of her 3-point attempts.
A strange thing happened, however, as
Erisman still managed to tab two of her best
scoring performances over two games last
week.
Last Tuesday in a 72-45 rout of Sequoia,
Erisman totaled a team-high 14 points. She
followed that by scoring a career-high 23
points to lead the Knights over Washington
58-51 in last Saturdays opening game of
the Steve Geramoni Tournament at Notre
Dame Belmont.
Because of her career game in helping the
Knights to six wins in their first seven
games, Erisman has been named the San
Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
The performance against Washington was
inspired by a quick learning curve. Early in
the game, Erisman missed her first two
attempts from 3-point land. So, at the
bequest of Menlos coaching staff, she made
a swift transition in putting the ball to the
floor and driving to the hoop.
Every time I could I was driving to the
basket, Erisman said. Every time I drive to
the hoop, Im shifting the defense and getting the ball to my teammates.
Erisman is, after all, a point guard. And
she embraces the team concept of keeping
Menlos other two prolific scorers juniors Hannah Paye and McKenzie Duffner
involved in the offensive scheme.
Duffner continued her strong offensive
showing as one of three Knights to score in
double-digits. In fact, with her 10 points, she
is the only player to score in double-digits in
each of Menlos first seven games this season. Sophomore DeJeane Stone also stepped
up with her first double-digit scoring game of

See AOTW, Page 16 Washington in the opener of the Steve Geramoni Tournament at Notre Dame Belmont.

At that point, the Vikings called a timeout

and all the chatter from the Menlo bench
was pointed towards one goal hitting one
more 3-pointer to make a serious comeback
bid.
We were all saying, One more 3. One
more 3, Menlo sophomore point guard
Sam Erisman said. We were working to get
the lead down and we thought we had
them.

Clock is ticking
on York, Baalke

was watching the Cardinals-49ers

game Sunday afternoon with my
brother when he asked what was
going on with now former 49ers coach
Jim Harbaugh.
Its really simple. The boss (49ers
management and ownership) and the
employee (Harbaugh) didnt get along. I
followed that with a question for him.
How many [jerks] do you work with?
My brother, who works in construction, just kind of shrugged his shoulders
and said, A lot.
My point being, just because someone
is difcult to work with doesnt mean the
work cant get done. This was the rst
rule that was broken that led to the 49ersHarbaugh divorce.
By all accounts,
owner Jed York and
general manager
Trent Baalke were
just weary and worn
out dealing with
Harbaugh. But if the
ultimate goal was to
win and by all
accounts that was
Harbaughs No. 1
goal a good team
nds out ways to gure it out.
To me, the bottom line was Harbaugh
was not willing to kiss enough babies,
stump enough for the product, simply
was not willing to do enough in Yorks
estimation to promote the brand that
is the 49ers. And to York and Baalke,
winning just wasnt enough.
They are looking for a more puppetlike coach. Someone they can order
around as they t and someone willing to
put up with that. Good luck.
The leeway for York and Baalke suddenly got a lot smaller with the parting of
ways with Harbaugh. Despite just a .500
season one that was marred by injuries
and a stagnated offense whoever
comes in to replace Harbaugh will be
expected by the fans to take the 2015
team at least to the NFC Championship
game. While the 49ers brass may give

Harbaugh, University of Michigan talk coaching job

By Eric Olson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former San Francisco 49ers coach Jim

Harbaugh was in discussions with Michigan
to return to his alma mater as its new football coach, a person with knowledge of the
talks said Monday.
The person spoke to The Associated Press
on condition of anonymity because there
was no announcement from the school or
Harbaugh, who left the NFL team Sunday
following its season finale. Multiple
reports say the school will announce
Tuesday that the former Michigan quarter-

back is replacing the fired

Brady Hoke.
The
51-year-old
Harbaugh coached the
49ers to three straight
NFC
championship
games and San Francisco
lost the 2013 Super Bowl
to a Baltimore Ravens
Jim Harbaugh team coached by his
brother, John. After the
49ers slipped to 8-8 this season and missed
the playoffs, he parted ways with the team
in what both sides called a mutual decision.
The idea of the Michigan-Ohio State

rivalry spiced up with Harbaugh vs. Urban

Meyer harkens to the Big Tens glory days,
when Bo Schembechler and Woody Hayes
ruled the conference. The buzz is serious and
there was word of a Khaki Out during the
Michigan mens basketball game Tuesday
afternoon amid hopes that the khaki-loving
Harbaugh would make an appearance.
Hes basically Michigan royalty right
now, said former Wolverines quarterback
Denard Robinson, now a Jacksonville
Jaguars running back. Hes the man right
now. I think hes going to do a great job and
help out recruiting. Hes had success at
every school he went to. I think its a great

fit for Michigan.

Big Ten Network analyst and former college coach Gerry DiNardo said Michigan,
the only school with more than 900 alltime wins, would be bringing in a rock
star capable of returning the Wolverines to
elite status in a short time.
This gives Michigan a chance to catch
up, DiNardo said.
Still, Michigans new coach has his work
cut out for him in a Big Ten East Division
thats only getting tougher.
Meyer is preparing the Buckeyes for this

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Mone named AP Female Athlete of the Year

By Rob Maaddi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA No one in the sports

world had heard of the 2014 Associated
Press Female Athlete of the Year until
August.
Thats when 13-year-old Mone Davis
became an instant celebrity as she took the
mound in the Little League World Series and
mowed down batter after batter, giving
throw like a girl a whole new meaning.
She was the first girl to win a Little
League World Series game, and her performance dazzled fans young and old. Her steely
gaze and demeanor on the mound were
intimidating, while off-the-field, she
shined in interviews. She told admirers that
if they thought she was good at baseball,
they should see her play hoops. Only in
eighth grade, Davis already plays for her
schools high school varsity basketball
team.
Davis appeared on the cover of Sports
Illustrated, has her jersey displayed in baseballs Hall of Fame and was named Sports
Kid of the Year by Sports Illustrated Kids.
She met the Obamas at the White House,
starred in a Spike Lee-directed car commercial (the NCAA said it wouldnt hurt her eligibility), marched in the Macys
Thanksgiving Day Parade along with her
Taney Dragons teammates and presented
Pharrell Williams with Soul Trains Song
of the Year award.
The talented three-sport star she also
plays soccer and honor student from
South Philadelphia handled all the attention
with poise, modesty and maturity.
A lot of adults around me help out, taught
me to be respectful, to be calm during everything and not let anything get to you,
Davis said after learning of her latest honor.
A vote by U.S. editors and news directors
selected Davis as The Associated Press 2014
Female Athlete of the Year. The youngest
winner in history, Davis beat out Mt. St.

REUTERS FILE PHOTO

Right-hander Mone Davis became a national sensation when she pitched her Chicago squad
to the Little League World Series earlier this year.
Joseph freshman Lauren Hill who played
her first college basketball game while battling terminal brain cancer and threetime winner Serena Williams. The selection
was announced Monday.
Davis tossed a two-hitter to help
Philadelphia beat Nashville 4-0 in the Little
League World Series opener for both teams.
Davis, the first girl to appear for a U.S. team
in South Williamsport since 2004, had
eight strikeouts and didnt walk a batter. Her
team was eventually eliminated after losing
to teams from Las Vegas and Chicago. Davis
gave up three runs in the Las Vegas game,
and could not take the mound against

Chicago because of pitch limits.

After the tournament, Davis was everywhere.
She threw whiffle balls to Jimmy Fallon
on NBCs Tonight Show, threw out the first
pitch at Game 4 of the World Series and
signed a book deal.
Its been really fun, got to do a lot of
things, meet a lot of cool people, Davis
said. My favorite thing to do was playing
in Williamsport or going to the White
House. (The Obamas) just seemed like a regular couple, no different from anyone else.
While others are still talking about her
Little League performance, Davis, a point

guard, is concentrating on basketball.

Its making me a lot better, helping me
make decisions, Davis said of playing varsity. In middle school, I can get away with
small things. The girls now are a lot taller
so Im working on my jump shot and ball
handling a lot.
Davis aspires to play for the University
of Connecticut and reach the WNBA. She
plays midfielder on her soccer team and
hopes to play three sports in high school,
though shes not sure about baseball.
I know the boys will be much stronger so
that depends, she said. Hopefully, I can
continue playing as long as I can.
Davis isnt just a jock. She excels academically despite such a great demand for
her time.
Its all about time management, how you
plan your projects and not waiting until the
last minute, she said.
Steve Bandura, a recreation leader for the
Philadelphia Parks and Recreation
Department and director of the Anderson
Monarchs sports programs, has helped
coach Davis since she started playing
sports. His son, Scott, was the catcher for
Taney. Bandura said Davis has maintained
her natural personality no matter how
many cameras or microphones are in her
face.
Shes still the same person, still a kid
who wants to do kid things, Bandura said.
She has fun meeting celebrities and all that
but the bottom line is she loves to play
sports, go to school and have fun. The
adults make a bigger deal out of it. Her teammates understand shes breaking down barriers and theyre proud of her. Theyve been
together so long, its like shes their sister.
Davis knows she has become a role
model.
Her message to everyone, especially
girls: Always follow your dreams. If
theres something people tell you that you
cant do it, go for it.

Stanford, Maryland to meet in Foster Farms Bowl

By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA The Foster Farms Bowl is

hardly the place Stanford and Maryland wanted
to end up.
The Cardinal (7-5) had made a BCS bowl
each of the previous four seasons, including
back-to-back Pac-12 titles, before falling back
in 2014. Randy Edsall has taken the Terrapins
(7-5) to two straight bowls as coach, but hes
trying to build them into a Big Ten football
champion.
Both teams are touting Tuesday nights
game at Levis Stadium as an important step in
the process of getting where they want to be in
the future.
Eight wins sounds a lot better than seven,
Stanford coach David Shaw said. The big
thing for me is finishing on a high note, finishing playing our best football.
While coaches and players on both sides
talked a lot this week about where theyre headed, just getting to this point has been quite the
journey.
Maryland traveled 2,800 miles from College
Park to the Bay Area, and Stanford is driving
about 11 miles from its campus to the new
home of the San Francisco 49ers.
The Terps have had few problems away from
home, though, winning a Big Ten-best five
road games in their first year in the conference
including the programs first wins at Penn
State and Michigan. The road victories also
were the schools most since 1984.
Its still nice having that kind of home feeling here in the Bay Area and were going to try

Saint Marys tops USF

MORAGA Brad Waldow scored 21
points on 10-for-15 shooting and hauled in
10 rebounds to lead Saint Marys to a 69-56
win over San Francisco on Monday night.
Desmond Simmons added 13 points and
nine rebounds, while Garrett Jackson and
Emmett Naar had 10 points apiece for Saint
Marys (9-3, 2-0 West Coast Conference).

to take advantage of it,

Cardinal
quarterback
Kevin Hogan said.
Stanford had hoped to
play at Levis Stadium all
along, though not in this
contest. The Cardinal
missed a chance to play in
the Pac-12 championship
Kevin Hogan game won by North
Division nemesis Oregon
over Arizona at Levis Stadium on Dec. 5
after an inconsistent season in the conference.
One more win will not get either team where
they want to be or define their program. The
outcome, however, will go a long way in shaping how they remember the season and look
toward the next.
You beat a program like Stanford after what
theyve been doing, its something that people are going to recognize, Edsall said. It
would do a lot for our program moving forward
and propel us into the offseason.

Diggs returns
Maryland star wide receiver Stefon Diggs is
back after missing two games with a lacerated
kidney. He caught 52 passes for 654 yards and
five touchdowns in nine games. Hell be facing a Stanford defense that is seventh-best in
the country, allowing only 175.7 yards passing per game.

Hogans splits
As Kevin Hogan has gone this season, so
has Stanfords offense. Hogan threw for 2,603

The Gaels, who shot 51.9 percent from the
floor, opened the second half with a 9-2 run that
included a 3-pointer from Simmons that made it
38-26 with 17:41 to go. The margin never fell
below double figures the rest of the way.
San Francisco (7-7, 1-1) led briefly in the
opening period after a 3-pointer from Mark
Tollefsen made it 13-10, but Saint Marys

yards, 17 TDs and eight interceptions. Hes

coming off his best performance of the year,
going 16-for-19 passing for 234 yards and two
touchdowns in the Cardinals 31-10 win at
UCLA on Nov. 28 that showed just how much
he means to the Cardinal attack.

No Montgomery
Stanford will be without its top playmaker,
Ty Montgomery, for the second straight game.
Montgomery sprained his right shoulder early
in the win at Cal on Nov. 22 when he was tackled by two defenders. He led the Cardinal with
61 receptions for 604 yards and three TDs. He
also returned two punts for scores and rushed
for 144 yards and one touchdown.

Getting defensive
Quarterback C.J. Brown and the Terrapins
face the difficult task of solving Stanfords
physical defense. The Cardinal rank second
nationally in points allowed (16 per game) and
fourth in total defense (287.4 yards). Maryland
is 64th in scoring offense (29.1 points) and
106th in total offense (352.1 yards).

Kick this
If the game comes down to kicking, the
Terps appear to have the edge. Marylands Brad
Craddock won the Lou Groza Award, which recognizes the nations top kicker, after making
18 of 19 field goals this season. That included
a school-record 57-yarder against Ohio State
and 11 in all from beyond 40 yards. Stanfords
Jordan Williamson has made seven straight
field goals and 14 of 20 this season.

The Broncos (6-7, 1-1) bounded back from a

now leads its all-time series with Pacific 92-42.
Hubbard was 5 of 6 from the field, knocking down all three of his 3-pointers, to lead

MENLO
Continued from page 11
not the one Menlo had in mind. It came from
Koyama, who went 0-for-3 shooting in the
third quarter, but again found the hot hand with
3:45 remaining in the game to give Paly some
breathing room at 47-38. Next time down the
floor, the Vikings dialed sophomore drained
another 3 to all but seal the victory.
We knew she was going to score at least
four (3-pointers), Erisman said. Yeah, she
had a really good game.
Erismans scouting report is as good as any.
Once upon a time, Erisman and Koyama
played a season of AAU basketball together in
grade school for the Palo Alto Midnight.
It wasnt the only club basketball connection on the court Monday night, by far. One of
the most prolific, of course, is the nucleus of
Menlo juniors Duffner, Olivia Pellarin,

being looked to as the coach to return

Michigan to prominence.
I think it gives the Big Ten great credibility, said Lou Holtz, the former coach and ESPN
analyst. Ive always felt the real evaluation of
a conference is strength of coaches. When you
look at the SEC, theres Nick Saban, there was
Urban Meyer (at Florida), Steve Spurrier, Mark
Richt, Les Miles. Now in the Big Ten youve
got an Urban Meyer, a Jim Harbaugh, a Mark
Dantonio.
Harbaughs leadership showed up during his
playing days in Ann Arbor. He is well remembered for delivering a victory he guaranteed
over Ohio State in 1986, the same season he
was Big Ten player of the year and finished
third in Heisman Trophy voting.
He played 15 years in the NFL, earning the
nickname Captain Comeback for leading

fourth-quarter playoff rallies for the

Indianapolis Colts. Harbaugh later coached
quarterbacks for the Oakland Raiders in 200203 before returning to the college ranks.
Early media reports had Michigan offering
Harbaugh $49 million over six years.
DiNardo, whose coaching resume includes
stops at LSU, Indiana and Vanderbilt, said he
doubted Harbaugh would have taken the job if
he werent promised to have full autonomy in
running the program.
You dont pay someone millions of dollars
and tell him what jersey number the quarterback should wear, DiNardo said. This coach
has to be left alone, whether thats the size of
the recruiting staff or facilities or non-conference schedule. All those decisions have to be
Jim Harbaughs. No one told Bo Schembechler
what to do. He sees the big picture.

Anna Miller and Hannah Paye who have

grown up playing for Payes Place since they
were in fourth grade.
The junior class has come in and really
done a great job for me for the last two years,
John Paye said. They all participated in our
last two back-to-back CCS championships.
Just like last years squad, the Knights
have only one senior on roster this season.
So, much of the leadership falls to the thirdyear juniors, each of whom showed flashes
of greatness Monday night, but like the
entirety of Menlos play had far too many
lapses in between.
Erisman paced Menlo with a team-high 17
points, including a 10-for-13 showing from
the free-throw line. Duffner had nine points on
the night, marking the first time this season
she has fallen short of double-digit scoring.
Senior Olivia Fernando had eight points.
Pellarin had a strong showing on the boards
in the second half. The 5-11 junior totaled
seven rebounds in the game, six of which
came in the second half as she produced all six
of her points in the third quarter.

After a slow start this season, Pellarin has

come on strong with 22 rebounds in her last
three games. Pellarins slow start had much to
do with her serving as a two-sport athlete who
also plays volleyball in the fall.
According to John Paye, however, Pellarin
was actually recovering from a football injury
at the start of basketball season, as she injured
her ankle playing a friendly flag football
against Sacred Heart Prep during rivalry week.
Shes still getting into basketball shape,
John Paye said. We really need her. But up until
now, Angel Okoro has done a great job for us.
Okoro currently leads Menlo with 57
rebounds on the season.
However, Menlos most glaring statistic
through eight games and not in a good
sense is its 29-percent field goal efficiency.
I really like our team, John Paye said.
Were just going to have to start burying
some more shots.

NDB guard Emma Pastorino produced a

game-high 20 points, including an 11-for-15
night from the free-throw line. The senior also
hit three 3-pointers. Mondays point total
marks her season-high.
Hillsdale (5-3) jumped out to an 18-12
lead at the end of the first quarter, but NDB
utilized its height advantage to create shots

Josh Davenport, NDB had three or four girls
on the court at all times who were capable of
posting up.
The Knights produced some big shots from
the outside though, with sophomore Raichel

total a team-high 19 points.
Tuesdays championship game at Moore

I think if were disciplined weve got a really good chance to take this game, Davenport

San Francisco is making a major
mistake in letting Harbaugh get
away from them. In addition to all
the winning the 49ers did under

pull out a win, Erisman said.

Which is why Menlos first loss
of the season Dec. 19 to M-A ate
away at Erisman going forward. It
was a game Menlo led with just
over three minutes to play. More
importantly, the Knights hightempo, hyper-aggressive style of
basketball seemed to be setting
the tone that night.
I thought we were going to win
that one, Erisman said. But play
after play it just wasnt happening.
M-A ultimately closed the game
with a 10-2 run to overtake Menlo
for a 50-44 win. The Knights converted just 14-of-64 field goal
attempts while Erisman scuffled
with a 2-for-13 mark. So, while
Paye led the team with 13 points

and Duffner added 11, Erisman

totaled just six points.
Erisman agreed that Menlos
stubborn 3-point mindset played a
factor.
When we start getting into that
pattern if the shooting isnt
well, we just stop driving, including myself, Erisman said.
Going forward though, driving
to the hoop has been key to
Menlos success.
If we get to the free throw line,
we win, Erisman said.
Menlo has to play aggressively
because of its lack of height and
relative youth, according to
Erisman. The Knights boast just
two players at 5-10 or above with
a pair of juniors in 5-11 Olivia
Pellarin and 6-foot Angel Okoro.

When you look at our height,

we dont have a choice. We have to
be aggressive, Erisman said.
And Menlo has just one senior
on roster this season in 5-2 guard
Olivia Fernando.
A second-year varsity starter,
Erisman is one of two sophomores
who helped the Knights to their
second consecutive Central Coast
Section Division III championship last season.
I couldnt go five minutes without hearing about being a freshman last year, Erisman said.
The Knights temperamental
outside shooting could be a sign
the team is on the right trajectory
though. It isnt unlike last years
start, according to Erisman.
A lot of that is just because I

was starting at point guard last

year, which (as a freshman) was a
bit of a transition, she said. We
started off a little bit shaky but as
the season went on and as we
closed in on CCS, we definitely
started to shake it up.

Now its York and Baalke who

What about the Oakland
Raiders? Reports Monday were
that the veterans were squarely
behind Jim Sparano as the head
coach.
Does Sparano deserve to have
the interim tag removed? I
think he could be a good coach
with Oakland but this thing is
still such a mess that I think they
have to start over again. They
have a couple pieces they can
build around, but until the Raiders
massively upgrade the offensive
and defensive lines, and add some
solid, consistent receivers, they
will continue to wallow around in
the three to ve wins range.
Even if Sparano is let go, does
anyone really trust general manager Reggie McKenzie to get the
next hire right? If anyone needs
to go, it is McKenzie. He has
swung and missed too many times
in too short a time to deserve to
make the next coaching decision.

Malaria killing thousands

more than Ebola in Africa

Patient being treated for

Ebola in Glasgow hospital
By Gregory Katz and Jill Lawless
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON A female health care worker

who has just returned from Sierra Leone has
been diagnosed with Ebola and is being
treated in a Glasgow hospital, Scottish
authorities said Monday.
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon
called it the first case of Ebola ever diagnosed inside the United Kingdom.
The patient flew to Glasgow via
Casablanca and Londons Heathrow Airport,
arriving late Sunday, the Scottish government said. The health care worker was admitted to a hospital on Monday morning after
developing a fever.
Sturgeon said the risk to the public is
extremely low to the point of negligible
and that pre-planned steps would be taken to
protect the public.
Scotland has been preparing for this possibility from the beginning of the outbreak
in west Africa, and I am confident that we are
well prepared, she said, adding that the
patient is stable and would soon be transferred to an isolation unit at the Royal Free
Hospital in London.

She said the patient, who is not being

identified, had traveled on an internal British
Airways flight from London to Glasgow on
Sunday night and that the other 71 passengers and staff on that flight will be contacted.
But she said the patient was not yet showing symptoms at the time and that people in
that stage are much less contagious than
they are after they exhibit symptoms, which
include a high fever, diarrhea and vomiting.
The patient became ill Monday morning
and contacted health officials. She was soon
admitted to the Brownlee Unit for Infectious
Diseases at Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow.
The patient had been screened for symptoms before leaving at Sierra Leone and at
London Heathrow Airport, Sturgeon said.
The first minister said the patient had only
had contact with one other person in
Scotland and that persons health will be
monitored.
The only previous victim of the often-fatal
disease in Britain was William Pooley, a
nurse who contracted the disease while treating patients in Sierra Leone. He recovered
after treatment in London and returned to
West Africa.

GUECKEDOU, Guinea West Africas

fight to contain Ebola has hampered the
campaign against malaria, a preventable
and treatable disease that is claiming many
thousands more lives than the dreaded
virus.
In Gueckedou, near the village where
Ebola first started killing people in
Guineas tropical southern forests a year
ago, doctors say they have had to stop
pricking fingers to do blood tests for
malaria.
Guineas drop in reported malaria cases
this year by as much as 40 percent is not
good news, said Dr. Bernard Nahlen, deputy
director of the U.S. Presidents Malaria
Initiative. He said the decrease is likely
because people are too scared to go to
health facilities and are not getting treated
for malaria.
It would be a major failure on the part of
everybody involved to have a lot of people
die from malaria in the midst of the Ebola
epidemic, he said in a telephone interview. I would be surprised if there were not
an increase in unnecessary malaria deaths
in the midst of all this, and a lot of those
will be young children.
Figures are always estimates in Guinea,
where half the 12 million people have no
access to health centers and die uncounted.
Some 15,000 Guineans died from malaria
last year, 14,000 of them children under
five, according to Nets for Life Africa, a
New York-based charity dedicated to providing insecticide-treated mosquito nets to
put over beds. In comparison, about 1,600
people in Guinea have died from Ebola,
according to statistics from the World
Health Organization.
Malaria is the leading cause of death in
children under five in Guinea and, after
AIDS, the leading cause of adult deaths,
according to Nets for Life.
Ebola and malaria have many of the same

symptoms, including fever, dizziness, head

and muscle aches. Malaria is caused by
bites from infected mosquitoes while Ebola
can be contracted only from the body fluids
of an infected victim hence doctors
fears of drawing blood to do malaria tests.
People suffering malaria fear being quarantined in Ebola treatment centers and
health centers not equipped to treat Ebola
are turning away patients with Ebola-like
symptoms, doctors said.
WHO figures from Gueckedou show that
of people coming in with fever in October,
24 percent who tested positive for Ebola
also tested positive for malaria, and 33 percent of those who did not have Ebola tested
positive for malaria an indication of the
great burden of malaria in Guinea.
Malaria killed one of 38 Cuban doctors
sent to Guinea to help fight the Ebola outbreak. One private hospital had a kidney
dialysis machine that could have saved his
failing organ but the clinic was shut after
several people died there of Ebola.
The U.S. Presidents Malaria Initiative
ground to a halt in Guinea months ago and
the WHO in November advised health
workers against testing for malaria unless
they have protective gear.
The malaria initiative is doing a national
survey of health facilities and elsewhere to
try to find out whats actually happening
here . . . where people with malaria are
going, said Nahlen, of the U.S. campaign.
There was some positive news in Guinea
it had just completed a national mosquito
net campaign against malaria when Ebola
struck, he said.
Neighboring Liberia, on the other hand,
suspended the planned distribution of 2
million nets, said Nahlen.
In Sierra Leone, the third country hardhit by Ebola, Doctors Without Borders
took unprecedented, pre-emptive action
this month, distributing 1.5 million antimalarial drugs that can be used to both prevent and treat, aiming to protect people
during the diseases peak season.

FINES
Continued from page 1
and end up with thousands of dollars in medical bills. Now, you may also get fined. In a
decision that allowed Obamas law to
advance, the Supreme Court ruled in 2012
that the coverage requirement and its accompanying fines were a constitutionally valid
exercise of Congress authority to tax.
In 2015, all taxpayers have to report to the
IRS on their health insurance status the previous year. Most will check a box. Its also
when the IRS starts collecting fines from
some uninsured people, and deciding if others qualify for exemptions.
What many people dont realize is that the
penalties go up significantly in 2015. Only
3 percent of uninsured people know what the
fine for 2015 will be, according to a recent
poll by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family
Foundation.
Figuring out your potential exposure if
youre uninsured isnt simple.
For 2014, the fine is the greater of $95 per
person or 1 percent of household income
above the threshold for filing taxes. It will

jump in 2015 to the greater of 2 percent of

income or $325. By 2016, the average fine
will be about $1,100, based on government
figures.
People can get a sense of the potential hit
by going online and using the Tax Policy
Centers Affordable Care Act penalty calculator.
Many taxpayers may be able to get a pass.
Based on congressional analysis, tax preparation giant H&R Block says roughly 4 million uninsured people will pay penalties and
26 million will qualify for exemptions from
the list of more than 30 waivers.
But its unclear whether taxpayers are
aware of the exemptions.
Deciding what kind of waiver to seek could
be crucial. Some can be claimed directly on a
tax return, but others involve mailing paperwork to the Department of Health and Human
Services. Tax preparation companies say the
IRS has told them its taking steps to make
sure taxpayers returns dont languish in
bureaucratic limbo while HHS rules on their
waivers.
TurboTax has created a free online tool
called Exemption Check for people to see
if they may qualify for a waiver. Charges
apply later if the taxpayer files through
TurboTax.

Timing will be critical for uninsured people who want to avoid the rising penalties
for 2015.
Thats because Feb. 15 is the last day of
open enrollment under the health law. After
that, only people with special circumstances
can sign up. But just 5 percent of uninsured
people know the correct deadline, according
to the Kaiser poll.
We could be looking at a real train wreck
after Feb. 15, said Stan Dorn, a health policy expert at the nonpartisan Urban Institute.

BAN
Continued from page 1
505,000 valid signatures to qualify,
and it will be weeks before counties
make that determination through random sampling.
The ban was scheduled to be phased
in starting in July at large grocery
stores and supermarkets as a way to cut
down on litter and protect marine life.
In September, Gov. Jerry Brown
signed SB270 by state Sen. Alex
Padilla, D-Los Angeles, to pull plastic
bags out of checkout counters at large
grocery stores and supermarkets such
as Wal-Mart and Target starting next
summer, and convenience stores and
pharmacies in 2016.
The law does not apply to bags used
for fruits, vegetables or meats, or to
shopping bags used at other retailers.
It allows grocers to charge a fee of at

People will file their tax returns and learn

they are subject to a much larger penalty for
2015, and they can do absolutely nothing to
avoid that.
The insurance requirement and penalties
remain the most unpopular part of the health
care law. They were intended to serve a broader purpose by nudging healthy people into
the insurance pool, helping to keep premiums more affordable.
Sensitive to political backlash, supporters
of the health care law have played down the
penalties in their sign-up campaigns. But
stressing the positive such as the availability of financial help and the fact that
insurers can no longer turn away people with
health problems may be contributing to
the information gap about the penalties.
Dayson, the Phoenix resident, says shes
hoping her employer will offer a health plan
she can fit into her budget, allowing her to
avoid higher fines for 2015.
In Des Moines, recent college graduate
Moon has held a succession of temporary
local and state government jobs that dont
provide affordable coverage. The penalties
are on his mind.
When it gets up to $325, I hope I have a
career that actually offers me a good health
care plan, he said.

least 10 cents for using paper bags.

The law had marked a major milestone for environmental activists who
have successfully pushed plastic bag
bans in cities across the U.S., including Chicago, Austin, Texas, and
Seattle. Hawaii is also on track to have
a de facto statewide ban, with all counties approving prohibitions.
More than 100 cities and counties,
including Los Angeles and San
Francisco, already have such bans in
California.
But plastic bag manufacturers said
the ban amounted to a cash-giveaway
to grocers that would lead to a loss of
thousands of manufacturing jobs. They
said Californians now have a chance to
weigh in.
SB270 was never a bill about the
environment, said Lee Califf, executive director of the bag alliance. It
was a back room deal between the grocers and union bosses to scam
California consumers out of billions

of dollars in bag fees without providing any public benefit.

Supporters of the statewide ban
blasted manufacturers for paying any
price just to continue selling plastic
bags.
After spending more than $3.1 million, 98 percent of which was raised
from out of state, it is clear that the
plastic bag industry is more interested
in their own profits than reducing an
unnecessary source of pollution and
waste that threaten Californias
wildlife and pollutes our ocean, coast,
and our communities, said Mark
Murray, a spokesman for California
vs. Big Plastic, the coalition of environmental, labor and business groups
supporting the states plastic bag ban.
A recent USC Dornsife/Los Angeles
Times poll showed 6 in 10 California
voters support the law. The survey
showed support for banning plastic
bags is even higher in communities
that already had a ban.

California health exchange board undergoes changes

By Judy Lin

With three board seats open, the governor and

Senate now have an opportunity to implement SB972
in the way it was intended: by appointing a new majority
to the board that is more representative of Californias
population, particularly those who need insurance.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO The board that oversaw

the rollout of the Affordable Care Act in
California is undergoing its first major
turnover since the state-operated health
insurance marketplace was established four
years ago.
Its a shake-up that gives Gov. Jerry
Brown increased clout on Covered
Californias five-member board of directors
as it strives to reduce the number of uninsured people while tamping down overall
health care costs.
Dr. Robert Ross, president and chief executive officer of The California Endowment,
said he will resign at the end of the year, the
same time terms expire for two members
appointed by former Republican Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Those members are Susan Kennedy, a
Democrat who worked as Schwarzeneggers
chief of staff, and Kimberly Belshe, who
served as Schwarzeneggers health and
human services secretary. They have agreed
to stay until replacements are named by
Brown, a Democrat, so the board will temporarily drop to four but avoid losing a quorum.
Covered California generally has been
regarded as a success, although the agency
has been criticized for its lackluster sign-up
of Latinos; the complexity of its enrollment system; and spotty customer service

Congresswoman-elect Norma Torres

that included long call center wait times during the first round of open enrollment.
So far, the exchange has exceeded last
years insurance sign-ups during its first
month of open enrollment and is on pace to
beat its goal of enrolling 1.7 million people for private health coverage next year,
including re-enrolling 1.1 million people.
California Health and Human Services
Secretary Diana Dooley, who chairs the
Covered California board, said the next
board will have to make the delivery of
health care work over the long run.
We have to stay focused on the goal: better health, better care, lower costs, Dooley
said in an interview.
For the first time next year, the exchange
will send out tax forms like W-2s for people
who received tax credits to help pay their
premiums. The form is called a 1095-A, and
must be sent out in a timely manner so it
doesnt cause a delay for tax refunds.
As an active purchaser that negotiates
benefits and prices with health plans,
Covered California is considering expand-

ing the pool of health plans sold on the

exchange to increase competition in some
ZIP codes that currently have only one
provider. Those include certain rural areas as
well as parts of Alameda and Monterey
counties.
The exchange also has to coordinate with
other state agencies at a time when several
human service branches undergo their own
leadership changes.
Dooley is leading a search to find replacements for Californias Medi-Cal director
and public health officer. Toby Douglas,
director of the state Department of Health
Care Services, and Ron Chapman, head of
Californias Public Health Department,
both previously announced their departures.
Anthony Wright, executive director of
Health Access California, a health care
advocacy group, said the state embraced the
federal changes early and that the board has
been generally free of controversy.
Under the 2010 law establishing the
California exchange, two members are to be
appointed by the governor and one each by

the Assembly and Senate. The secretary of

the state Health and Human Services Agency
serves automatically as a voting member.
Maybe this is surprising for a board
associated with Obamacare, but it hasnt
been a particularly contentious board,
Wright said. Even with appointments from
both Democratic and Republican politicians, theres been a consensus about not
only implementing but wanting to take
leadership on health reform.
Appointed by the Senate, Ross had a year
left in his board term, but Dooley said he
announced his early resignation because of
a heavy work and travel schedule.
Board members must have specific health
administration experience, but a new law
broadened the qualifications to include
informational technology experts, health
insurance marketers and enrollment counselors skilled in reaching out to poor and
minority Californians.
The bill initially sought to expand the
board to seven members, but that provision
was removed after opposition from lawmakers.
With three board seats open, the governor and Senate now have an opportunity to
implement SB972 in the way it was intended: by appointing a new majority to the
board that is more representative of
Californias population, particularly those
who need insurance, said Congresswomanelect Norma Torres, a Democrat who
authored the bill as a state senator.

Funding sometimes lags for sex-trafficking victims

By David Crary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

As awareness of Americas sex-trafficking

industry increases, state after state has
enacted new laws to combat it. But while a
few have backed those get-tough laws with
significant funding to support trafficking
victims, many have not.
In Michigan, for example, a cluster of
legislators beamed with pride as Gov. Rick
Snyder recently signed a package of 21 antitrafficking bills. For a state ranked by advocacy groups as woefully behind in addressing the problem, the package was touted as

a huge step forward, making Michigan, in

Snyders words, one of the leading states
in fighting this tragic crime.
Yet the bills contained virtually no new
funding, even though a high-powered state
commission had reported a serious lack of
support services and specialized housing
for victims.
For all the hoopla, its blatantly not true
that were now at the forefront, said professor Bridgette Carr, a member of the commission and director of the Human
Trafficking Clinic at the University of
Michigan Law School. For many of these
victims, theres often no place to go.

For a long time, sex trafficking was

considered a foreign problem something relegated to Eastern Europe or Asia.
But in recent years, advocacy groups
have called attention to people who were
similarly victimized in this country, and
legislators in every state have embraced
the issue, taking the politically easy step

LOCK
Continued from page 1
Sacramento and Tulare counties which
already use the ignition interlock
devices as part of a pilot program.
Twenty-four states also have similar
interlock requirements for first-time
offenders.
Hills bill will require the devices for
six months for first offenders, a year for
the second offense, two years for a third
and three years for a fourth offense and
beyond. The program will be permanent but a report on its impact will be
generated after five years which the
Legislature can use to evaluate its effectiveness.
The systems $100 startup cost and
$50 maintenance will be borne by the
convicted unless they cannot afford it
in which case the manufacturer picks up
the tab, said Hill, D-San Mateo.
More than 50,000 people have died
in California and another million
injured due to drunk drivers, said Hill,
who cited the U.S. Centers for Disease
Controls finding that the ignition
locks reduce repeated DUIs by 67 percent.
It pains me that preventative causes
such as drunk driving are taking our
loved ones, Hill said. We must take
action to prevent more death and
injury.

REVAMP
Continued from page 1
rotating the ballpark while scaling
back bleachers and more.
The parks historic features such as
the Japanese Tea Garden and Kohl
Pumphouse will remain intact.
The city hosted numerous community workshops and spent months gathering feedback from the public, various commissioners and councilmembers.
I have been thrilled by the outpouring of community input and ideas to
improve this valued public asset, to
incorporate Central Park into our
bustling downtown, and to ensure that
it is a meaningful and desirable destination for all of our citizens, young
and old, Mayor Maureen Freschet
wrote in an email. I encourage everyone to attend and offer their comments
and suggestions to make our Central
Park a model of urban open space that
we can all enjoy.
The consultants will present three
preferred design alternatives with a
variety of features that may ultimately
be included in the final proposal anticipated to be presented in the summer,
said Parks and Recreation Director
Sheila Canzian.
The consultants will [reveal] what

California law currently makes

installation optional for those convicted of driving while intoxicated and
only about 20 percent of those with a
choice between them and a restricted
drivers license choose the interlocks,
Hill said.
The interlock devices are connected
to a vehicles ignition and require a
breath sample before the engine will
start. If a blood alcohol level exceeding
a preset limit is detected, the engine
wont start. The system also requires
random breath checks to ensure that an
impaired driver doesnt use another person to try bypassing the test, said Tony
Chin, field supervisor with manufacturer Smart Start of California.
Flanked by members of Peninsula law
enforcement and Mothers Against
Drunk Driving, Hill said Monday some
estimates say that a first-time convicted
DUI offender has driven while intoxicated at least 80 times before finally
being arrested. Even after arrest, 50 percent to 70 percent of DUI convicted
drivers continue to drive without a
license, according to MADD, which is
calling on all states to require interlocks.
Nina Walker, of MADD in San Diego,
lost her 22-year-old daughter Ginger in
a DUI crash and with her husband is now
raising her 3-year-old grandson. She
joined Hill Monday to back the locks.
Its time for California to do the
right thing, Walker said.
Another strong supporter of the

devices of anything that prevents

DUIs is Domenica Cardenas.
In 2013, Cardenas 63-year-old
father, Juan, was walking to work in
Daly City when a repeat DUI offender
struck and killed him, sending into the
air a bag of fruit he was bringing to
coworkers and leaving a hole in his
familys life. The driver was under the
influence of methamphetamine and previous DUIs, Cardenas said.
The interlocks, she said, are a necessary step.
Something like that can save somebodys life, she said.
Also close to home, in November,
Denis Demacedo was convicted of three
second-degree murder charges and other
felonies for the drunken crash that
killed three members of a Daly City
family and seriously injured a fourth.
Demacedo, who had three prior DUI
convictions and was on probation and a
suspended license at the time, caused
the crash while speeding away from a
fender bender just blocks away. He will
be sentenced Jan. 23 and faces decades
in prison.
The San Mateo County Sheriffs
Office averages 300 DUI arrests annually and has made 315 so far this year,
said Assistant Sheriff Tom Gallagher.
Hill has previously taken aim at
repeat DUI offenders. In 2012, a
California law authored by Hill allows a
judge to suspend a drivers license for
10 years after his or her third conviction for driving while intoxicated.

they think are the most repeated, consistent themes and then obviously
they cant make everybody happy with
one drawing, so they come up with
three different drawings based on what
theyve heard from the public,
Canzian said. Central Park follows
what typically has been our process
with any master plan, the final plan
will probably be a combination of the
alternatives that were going to be
showing in January.
Some consistencies among the three
maps are new and enhanced playgrounds, some type of plaza or stage
area and ways to create a better connection between the park and downtown
along Fifth Avenue, Canzian said.
While Lim said he isnt privy to the
details, he remains hopeful for a stateof-the-art recreation center, a fenced-in
dog walking area, an updated playground and an outdoor stage to host
events like music in the park.
Canzian confirmed at least one of the
design alternatives outlines an
enlarged recreation center as the current one, managed by Self Help for the
Elderly, is outdated.
I think what we heard from the community is that it doesnt really function as much as people would like to
see because the uses are pretty confined, Canzian said.
The public will be able to provide
feedback during the upcoming commu-

nity meetings, and the proposed

designs will then be reviewed during a
Public Works Commission meeting as
well as a joint Parks and Recreation
Commission and City Council study
session, according to the city.
Even if there is consensus on what
the future of Central Park will hold,
physical changes will likely take
time, Canzian said.
Right now we dont have any
money at all to do any of the updates,
Canzian said. Its just a question of
what the cost will be for the final plan
and then how do we fund those and
phase those over time.
While still in a preliminary stage,
city officials urged the public to stay
engaged in the planning process and
Canzian said there will likely be a virtual town hall set up on the citys website for people to provide feedback.
We really want to hear from as many
different people from as many different
walks of life, Lim said. Because the
park belongs to everybody and everyone uses it in a different way. And
thats the fun part about it.
The upcoming public work shops are
held at the park s Central Recreation
Center, 50 E. Fifth Av e. at 6:30 p.m.
Thursday Jan. 8, and 10:30 a. m.
Saturday, Jan. 10. For more information
