As part of the effort to resolve


facility concerns caused by growing enrollment in the San MateoFoster City Elementary School

Committee discussed options
such as building
a small school
for 250 students

on the campus of College Park


Elementary School to give residents of the surrounding neighborhood a choice to attend a local
school, or reopening the whole

College

Committee member Mark

But others fear that reopening

Burlingame officials are contemplating asking a private developer to construct housing at the current outdated
City Hall site downtown in exchange for a new City Hall elsewhere.

City Hall may become housing


Burlingame offering property in return for more housing, parking, new City Hall
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Burlingame officials are considering moving City Hall, as part of


an effort to leverage city-owned
property into building more housing and parking, said City
Manager Lisa Goldman.
Staff has already issued a request
for proposals from developers
willing to build more affordable
housing on a city-owned parking
lot south of Howard Avenue, so
long as the company would also be
willing to construct more parking
spaces on a neighboring lot.
Going forward, Goldman said
the city is also considering issuing another request for proposals,

Lisa Goldman

which
would
allow companies to develop
housing at the
City Hall site,
under the agreement that the
builder would
also construct a
new City Hall
on another cityowned parking

lot elsewhere.
Goldman said even though neither project has progressed very
far, Burlingame intends to develop
more housing, parking and maybe
build a new City Hall, with as little
cost as possible to the city.
We are looking for a public-pri-

vate partnership that will enable


us to have a City Hall, that will
allow us to better serve the public,
because that is our ultimate goal,
said Goldman.
City Hall is in dire need of renovation and seismic retrofitting,
which could cost as much as $11.5
million, said Goldman. So city
officials are considering whether
it is worth sinking the cost into
reworking an old building, or if it
is a better plan to explore building
a new site.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg
said the citys focus should be on
developing a new City Hall, rather
than renovating the existing site.

Despite a recent lawsuit questioning the integrity of Caltrains


environmental review of its plans
to electrify the regional tracks and
high-speed rails involvement,
the local transit agency plans to
stay the course in its $1.5 billion
overhaul.
Several citizens groups and
local governments filed two lawsuits Monday aimed at seeking
more environmental review under
California law for operations
related to the states future highspeed rail system.
The town of Atherton, the
Transportation Solutions Defense

and Education Fund and the


Community Coalition on HighSpeed Rail lodged the complaint
against Caltrain in San Mateo
County Superior Court.
It asks the court to order the
Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers
Board, which runs Caltrain, to

Jail visits to be video only


San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approves $5M security upgrades
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Inmates in San Mateo County jails will


only be able to visit friends and family by
video after the Board of Supervisors
approved $5 million for security upgrades
Tuesday.
The proposal by San Mateo County
Sheriff Greg Munks got the four votes it
needed to pass but Supervisor Dave Pine
voted no.
Pine said he wanted to wait until the county decided how best to use the Maguire
Correctional Facility once a new jail, the
Maple Street Correctional Center, opens in
Redwood City early next year.
He told the Daily Journal Monday that he
also had concerns on how the video visitation system would impact the inmates and
their families.
Pine said he would prefer to visit someone
in jail behind a plexiglass window rather
than by video.
Retired attorney Mike Bursak has concerns about privacy with the new system.
If I had to use a video system which
would have been easy for anyone to monitor, I would have filed suit to have the coun-

Dave Pine

ty provide for secure, constitutionally protected,


c o n f i d e n t i a l
attorney/client communications. If they dont do
that in the future, I am sure
that someone else will
file such a suit one
which the county is sure
to lose, Bursak wrote in
an email to the Daily

Journal.
With the boards approval Tuesday, the
Sheriffs Office will upgrade security at
Maguire to match the technology be
installed at the Maple Street jail.
The security electronics system at
Maguire is outdated, subject to frequent failure and nearly irreparable, Sheriff Greg
Munks told the board.
A private company, CML-RW Security,
will provide renovation of security electronics and detention doors, replacement of
detention doors, food passes, a detention
door pneumatic system, a new intercom and
paging system and the video visitation system.
Pine did agree the security system needs to
be upgraded.

Its on its last legs and there have been


incidents where it has caused close calls,
Pine said before Tuesdays vote.
The deterioration of the current security
system at Maguire creates an increased safety risk to inmates and staff, an increased
risk of escape and increased repair and maintenance costs to keep the system functional, Munks told the board.
As an example of the equipments age,
Munks said parts for the jails perimeter
doors were purchased on eBay.
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier called the renovations and upgrades a critical need for a
long time.
The Maple Street jail will be equipped
with state-of-the-art equipment with
enhanced facility and inmate monitoring
through a separate contract previously
approved by the board with CML-RW.
Offering the same at Maguire eliminates
the need for training on two systems. The
economies of scale also reduce both the
time and costs of system maintenance,
Munks said.

Man takes plea deal


for pimping two women
A man caught with two prostitutes in a
South San Francisco motel room last year
pleaded no contest two counts of pimping
Monday, prosecutors said.
Roy Kellum, 22, was found at the
Travelodge at 326 S. Airport Blvd. on Feb.
19, 2014, with two women in their late
teens, according to the San Mateo County

Kellum was on felony probation and
investigators searched the room, finding
evidence he was pimping the two women
and advertising their services on the nowdefunct
prostitution
website
MyRedBook.com, prosecutors said.
The two women told police that Kellum
was their pimp as well.
The case was set to go to jury trial Monday
but at the last minute Kellum changed his
mind and took a plea deal with prosecutors
to plead no contest to the two counts in
exchange for no more than three years in
state prison.
Kellum was released on his own recognizance and ordered to return to court Feb. 23
for sentencing, prosecutors said.

Woman who claims she flew


without airline ticket arrested
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS A woman with a history


of boarding airplanes without a ticket was in
jail Tuesday while authorities investigated
whether she stowed away on a flight from
Minnesota to Florida.
Marilyn Hartman, 63, was arrested Sunday
after admitting she checked in at a
Jacksonville resort under a false name, the
Nassau County Sheriffs Department said.
Hartman claimed she flew from MinneapolisSt. Paul to Jacksonville without a ticket,
sheriffs officials said.
The sheriffs department is working with
the Transportation Security Administration
and airport police to investigate. Airport surveillance video is being reviewed in
Minneapolis and Jacksonville to check
Hartmans story, TSA spokesman Ross
Feinstein said.
Hartman has been accused of trying to
sneak onto flights before, most recently in
California in August. She was arrested Aug. 4
for taking a Southwest Airlines flight from
San Jose to Los Angeles without a ticket. She

later pleaded no contest to


a misdemeanor count of
willfully and unlawfully
entering Los Angeles as a
stowaway on an aircraft
and was sentenced to two
years of probation.
Hartman was ordered to
spend 117 days in jail
for violating probation
Marilyn
by returning to Los
Hartman
Angeles International
Airport, but she was released Aug. 16
because of overcrowding at the detention
facility in Lynwood, California.
Hartman was arrested Aug. 26 near baggage
claim at Phoenix Sky Harbor International
Airport on suspicion of criminal trespassing. Police say she was loitering around a
checkpoint and did not have an airline ticket.
In February 2014, Hartman was sentenced
to 18 months of probation in San Mateo
County after being arrested for attempting to
board three Hawaii-bound flights at San
Francisco International Airport on three separate days.

Obama seeks $2 billion in
private dollars for clean energy
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is setting a
goal of raising $2 billion from the private sector for investments in clean energy.
The White House says its launching a
Clean Energy Investment Initiative as
part of the Obama administrations effort
to address climate change.
The Energy Department will solicit
investments from philanthropists and
investors concerned about climate
change. The aim is to spur development
Barack Obama of technologies and energy sources that
are low in carbon dioxide pollution, such
as solar panels, wind power, fuel cells and advanced batteries.
The White House says groups like Wells Fargo, the
University of California Board of Regents, and the William
and Flora Hewlett Foundation are committing to scale up
their investments in clean energy.

Longtime aide says Obama


misled on gay marriage opposition
WASHINGTON One of President Barack Obamas longtime advisers says Obama misled the public for years by
claiming he opposed same sex marriage when he actually
supported it
Former Obama strategist David Axelrod writes in a new
book that Obama modified his public position to say he
supported civil unions but not gay marriage. Axelrod says
thats because his political advisers told him supporting
gay marriages could hurt him politically.
Obama in 2010 said his position was evolving, and then
announced he supported gay marriage in during the run-up to
his re-election.
The revelation comes as the Supreme Court prepares to
resolve the gay marriage issue nationwide in a few months.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest isnt disputing
Axelrods account but says Obamas actions in support of
gays and lesbians are clear.

Senate Democrats embrace Gov.


Browns climate change strategy
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Senate Democrats


embraced new climate change goals
Tuesday by adopting Gov. Jerry
Browns call to increase the use of
renewable energy to 50 percent in 15
years and adding their own initiatives.
Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de
Leon and fellow Democrats said they
want to increase statewide renewable
electricity use to 50 percent, use half
as much gasoline on the road, and
make buildings twice as energy efficient by 2030.
The legislation also would require
the states two major pension funds to
divest from coal companies and establish a committee to advise the governor and Legislature on how to create
clean energy jobs.
De Leon, of Los Angeles, is trying
to jumpstart negotiations among oil
producers, utilities, state regulators
and Browns administration that will
likely take months.
De Leon and his staff characterized
the proposals as the beginning of a
conversation, but Republicans and
industry lobbyists criticized the package for threatening jobs.
Sen. Andy Vidak, R-Hanford, said
the proposals would artificially create green jobs while eliminating

bills, rebuild our infrastructure while

Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon

middle-class jobs.
The state auditor reported Tuesday
that two of the states energy-saving
initiatives to increase the use of
solar panels and clean air vehicles
have benefited the wealthy the most
because they can afford to make such
investments.
However, de Leon said, choosing
between climate change policies and
policies that build on economic
growth is a false choice.
California has proven that we can
create job, lower utility bills, rebuild
our infrastructure while cleaning up the
air we breathe into our lungs, he said.
Brown said in his inaugural address
last month that California is already a
leader in far-reaching environmental
laws, but the state should do its part to
meet a United Nations goal to limit
global warming to 2 degrees Celsius
by 2050.
Current law calls for 33 percent of
energy use to come from renewable
sources by 2020. California utilities
already derive about 25 percent of their

energy from renewable sources, and


that figure is expected to reach 40 percent by 2024.
The pro tem and I share a strong
commitment to dealing with climate
change in an aggressive and imaginative way, Brown said in a statement.
I look forward to working with the
Legislature to hammer out the details.
The broad proposals raised concerns
among some about effects on the economy.
Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of
Western States Petroleum Association,
called the legislative mandate to reduce
petroleum consumption by 50 percent
an impossibly unrealistic goal.
Utilities also want flexibility to
meet carbon reduction goals through
less costly means.
The California Public Employees
Retirement System and the California
State Teachers Retirement System said
they share lawmakers concern for climate change but have to balance
investment decisions against environmental responsibility.

Experts: Trapping hackers might be better than walls


By Youkyung Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea Ever since


the Internet blossomed in the 1990s,
cybersecurity was built on the idea that
computers could be protected by a digital quarantine. Now, as hackers routinely overwhelm such defenses,
experts say cybersecurity is beyond
due an overhaul.
Their message: Neutralize attackers
once theyre inside networks rather
than fixating on trying to keep them
out.
First they need to convince a conservative business world to gamble on a

different approach. And having sold


generations of defensive systems that
consistently lagged the capabilities of
the most advanced hackers, the industry itself must overcome skepticism
its flogging another illusion of security.
According to U. S. cybersecurity
company FireEye, 229 days is the
median length of time attackers lurk
inside their victims computers before
being detected or revealing themselves, underscoring the weakness of
conventional tools in identifying
sophisticated intruders.
The traditional defenses must have
a description of the bad guys before
they can help you find them, said

Dave Merkel, chief technology officer


at FireEye Inc. Thats just old and outmoded. And just doesnt work anymore, he said.
Theres no way to guarantee that
you never are the victim of cyberattack.
Merkel said in the worst case he
knows of, attackers hid themselves for
years.
Experts arent recommending organizations stop deploying perimeter
defenses such as antivirus software or
firewalls that weed out vanilla threats.
But they say a strategy that could be
likened to laying traps is needed to
counter the sophisticated hacks that
can cause huge losses.

Mormon who runs website for doubting members ousted


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY A Mormon man


who gained notoriety over the past
decade for running a website that offers
doubting Latter-day Saints a forum to
chat has been kicked out of the religion.
John Dehlin announced the decision
from regional church leaders Tuesday.
He becomes the second high-profile
church member to be excommunicated

in the past year in what Mormon


scholars consider to be the Utah-based
faiths way of keeping dissenters in
line.
A regional church leader in North
Logan told Dehlin in a letter that
Mormon officials made a unanimous
decision to excommunicate him for
apostasy, defined by the church as
repeatedly acting in clear public opposition to the faith.
While not a lifelong ban, excommu-

nication is a rare move that amounts to


the harshest punishment available for
a church member.
The letter from Bryan King says
Dehlin is being kicked out not because
he doubted and asked questions about
church doctrine, but because he made
categorical statements opposing the
faith that were disseminated on his
website. King wrote that Dehlins
actions have led others to leave the
faith.

United Arab Emirates


resumes airstrikes on
Islamic State targets
By Adam Schreck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates


United Arab Emirates fighter
planes roared out of an air base in
Jordan on Tuesday to pound Islamic
State militant positions, marking
a return to combat operations by
one of the United States closest
Arab allies in the fight against the
extremists.
The Emirates decision to
launch fresh airstrikes from the
kingdom after a more-thanmonthlong hiatus was a strong
show of support for Westernallied Jordan, which has vowed a
punishing response to the mili-

tants killing of one of its pilots.


It also is likely to quiet concerns
in Washington about the oil-rich
Emirates commitment to the fight.
The seven-state federation,
which includes Abu Dhabi and
Dubai,
stopped
conducting
airstrikes late last year after
Jordanian Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh
was captured when his plane
crashed behind enemy lines,
according to American officials.
Al-Kaseasbeh was later burned
alive in a cage by the militants.
American defense officials last
week said they moved search-andrescue aircraft closer to the battlefield, helping ease allies concerns
about the coalitions ability to aid

downed pilots.
The General Command of the
UAE Armed Forces said Emirati F16s carried out a series of strikes
Tuesday morning, according to a
brief statement carried by the Gulf
nations official WAM news
agency.
The fighters returned safely back
to base after striking their targets,

the statement said. It did not elaborate, nor did it say whether the
strikes happened in Syria or Iraq.
The militants hold roughly a third
of each country in a self-declared
caliphate.
Previous Emirati airstrikes had
been in Syria, making that the
most likely site of its latest targets.

The Emirates had not commented


on the suspension of its airstrikes
in December, and Tuesdays statement was the first confirmation it
had restarted combat operations.
It has continued to provide logistical support to the campaign by
hosting coalition warplanes at its
air bases on the southern rim of the
Persian Gulf.

Around 20,000 foreign fighters flock to Syria, Iraq


By Ken Dilanian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Foreign fighters are streaming into Syria and


Iraq in unprecedented numbers to
join the Islamic State or other
extremist groups, including at
least 3,400 from Western nations
among 20,000 from around the
world, U.S. intelligence officials
say in an updated estimate of a top
terrorism concern.

Intelligence agencies now


believe that as many as 150
Americans have tried and some
have succeeded in reaching in the
Syrian war zone, officials told the
House
Homeland
Security
Committee in testimony prepared
for delivery on Wednesday. Some
of those Americans were arrested en
route, some died in the area and a
small number are still fighting
with extremists.
The testimony and other data

were obtained Tuesday by the


Associated Press.
Nick Rasmussen, chief of the
National Counterterrorism Center,
said the rate of foreign fighter travel to Syria is without precedent, far
exceeding the rate of foreigners
who went to wage jihad in
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq,
Yemen or Somalia at any other
point in the past 20 years.
U.S. officials fear that some of
the foreign fighters will return

undetected to their homes in Europe


or the U.S. to mount terrorist
attacks. At least one of the men
responsible for the attack on a
satirical magazine in Paris had
spent time with Islamic extremists
in Yemen.
Meanwhile, the White House circulated a proposal Tuesday that
would have Congress authorize the
U.S. military to fight Islamic State
terrorists over the next three years.
A formal request for legislation is

expected on Wednesday.
Also at the White House,
President Barack Obama praised
Kayla Jean Mueller, the young
American whose death was confirmed Tuesday. Mueller died while
in Islamic State hands, though the
group blamed a Jordanian airstrike,
and Obama said, No matter how
long it takes, the United States will
find and bring to justice the terrorists who are responsible for
Kaylas captivity and death.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Wednesday Feb. 11, 2015

A day for love!

Despite revenue surges, frugality needed

he city budget season doesnt


truly kick off until about May
with the requirement the documents be passed in time for the beginning of the scal year in July.
However, there have been some fairly strong indications leaking out as
city nance directors begin releasing
mid-year adjustments and preparing
for budget sessions. Typically, these
sessions are yawners for the average
person, but extremely critical for our
bottom lines. So far, a couple of
cities have shown their nancial hand
and they are looking decent. Redwood
City appears to have $5 million in
new revenue sue in large part to property and sales taxes. Burlingame is
showing a 8.5 percent increase in its
general fund with an additional $4.3
million. Even San Brunos general
fund is ticking up $1.3 million from
the year prior.
The numbers are solid, particularly
after years of reduced revenue and
needed cuts for all municipalities.
However, they are by no means a
panacea, just evidence of some
amount of scal health.

Editorial
And there is always a temptation by
elected ofcials to use some of the
money to replace cuts made in lean
times or provide money for new programs. Our advice? Dont.
We are still too close to the Great
Recession for any expansion of government spending. And too many
governments are still largely on the
hook for unfunded pension obligations for retired workers who beneted from generous contracts from when
times were better. Since the dot-com
boom and bust, weve largely learned
our lesson about living within our
means but still suffer from paying
large amounts of money to retirees
who left work at a relatively young
age. As they age, more will retire and
many cities will be paying more for
their retirees than their actual current
workforce. Everyone knows that is
unsustainable but a situation for many
municipalities.
So as the budget season begins in
earnest in the next few months, it will

be important to keep in mind the


amount cities owe to their retirees
before thinking about new programs
or cut restorations. Its not exciting,
and its not fun, but its extremely
important that a dent gets made in
that debt before it grows completely
unmanageable. Gov. Jerry Brown has
taken the lead on scal responsibility
when it comes to the state budget
though some could argue his emphasis on high-speed rail and the Delta
tunnels is not in line with that thinking. However, his pragmatism when
it comes to the specic budgets he has
introduced has highlighted the need
for frugality. Even with the
Legislative Analysts Report released
Tuesday that Browns budget underestimated revenue by up to $2 billion,
or perhaps higher, much of whatever
revenue should go into the states
rainy-day fund or toward its wall of
debt of unfunded liabilities. It is
important for those in charge of our
individual cities budgets take a similar tack when it comes to nalizing
this scal years budgets.

Letters to the editor


Black History Month
Editor,
Mike Traynors letter about the
761st Tank Battalion in World War II
was great (Remembering the valor
of our African-American troops in
the Feb. 4 edition of the Daily
Journal), but I would like to submit
the little known fact about the
Tuskegee Airmen. This black fighter
unit never lost a bomber to fighters
while they escorted them on missions. That is one of the greatest
records ever earned.

Joseph Locasto

There have been numerous studies


in multiple countries comparing the
incidence of autism in children who
were vaccinated compared to children
who were not vaccinated. In all studies there was no difference in the
incidence of autism. No one in the
field of medicine is claiming that no
child has ever been injured by a vaccine, but we feel the incidence is so
low that the benefits far outweigh
the risks. Given todays knowledge
and the history of vaccine safety,
refusing to vaccinate a child is a
form of child endangerment is a
stronger case than claiming that vaccines cause autism. Our children
should not pay the price for our
unfounded fears.

Vaccine safety
Editor,
Letters such as Cynthia
Marcopulos (Vaccinations, in the
Feb. 9 edition of the Daily Journal)
about the safety of vaccines are at
best unfortunate. The facts she
cites have been disproven in numerous large studies done in a number of
different countries. There is no scientific evidence that there is any causal
relationship between vaccines and
the incidence of autism. Much of this
insanity came from the claims of a
British physician who has since had
his license suspended due to his falsifying data.

The letter from Cynthia

ed and out-of-date vaccines. I would


hope that any health organization
would stop using contaminated or
out-of-date material once they were
aware of it.
Ms. Marcopulos then moves on to
try and link autism to vaccinations,
a subject I will leave to others to discuss, before she concludes with quarantining immigrants for the safety of
our citizenry.
A quick check on the U.N. website
will show that as recent as Feb. 3,
2015, the World Health Organization
spokesperson, Fadela Chaib,
explained that the measles disease
had resurfaced in large part due to a
misinformation campaign waged by
certain groups regarding the importance of vaccination. She added that
the U.N. agency recommended two
doses of measles vaccine to ensure
immunity and that they are, in fact,
safe and effective. This type of
information is ignored by the misinformation group because it takes the
wind out of their sails.
As for the safety of us all, effective
vaccinations and facts about them
will do more for our safety than quarantining immigrants, many of whom
have been vaccinated.

o live in love is lifes greatest challenge. Leo


Buscaglia, Love.
I cant let Feb. 14 pass without offering some thoughtprovoking quotes about living with love that are valid
from year to year. But rst, I hope you took note of Mr.
Groundhog on Feb. 2. Back in Pennsylvania he predicted
a longer winter for the East Coast and I hope that goes for
us, too, so we will have a chance, after the driest January
on record, to enjoy more rain and ease the drought
(Though we enjoyed the rain over last weekend, we still
need a lot more). And be sure you join us on Hoodie Hoo
Day on Feb. 20 and at high noon go outdoors and yell,
Hoodie Hoo to chase away winter and make ready for
spring one month away (with, we hope, a lot of April
showers!).
In February are the birthdays of not only our oldest
grandchild, but some other
quite inuential people like
Thomas Edison, Charles
Darwin, Winston
Churchill, Susan B.
Anthony, Babe Ruth,
George Frederick Handel,
Norman Rockwell and Ted
Kennedy. And of course,
Feb. 16 is Presidents Day.
February has been labeled
National Heart Month,
Black History Month,
Macadamia Nut Month, Canned Food Month, Shape Up
With Pickles Month and, oh yes, National Blah Buster
Month!
But back to the 14th that special day associated with
love and romance. Wouldnt it be great if love, the kind
that is free and accepting, open and expansive, and has no
strings attached, were to be celebrated all year? So to help
us get in the mood, no better time than now to give some
thought to love as described by some experts on the subject.
First from Thomas Merton: We dont exist for ourselves (as the center of the universe) and it is only when
we are fully conscious of this fact that we begin to love
ourselves properly and thus also love others.
Love is the will to extend ones self for the purpose of
nurturing ones own or anothers spiritual growth. ... Not
only do self love and love of others go hand in hand, but
ultimately they are indistinguishable. M. Scott Peck,
The Road Less Traveled.
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps
fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of
hope. Maya Angelou.
This from my favorite love guru, Erich Fromm, who
wrote The Art of Loving. Love is not primarily a relationship with a specic person. It is an attitude, an orientation of character which determines the relatedness of a
person to the world as a whole, not toward one object of
love mature love is union under the condition of preserving ones integrity, ones individuality. Love is an
active power in man; a power that breaks through the
walls which separate man from his fellow men, which
unites him with others; love makes him overcome the
sensation of isolation and separateness, yet it permits
him to be himself, to retain his integrity.
Dale Carson, author of Boys Have Feeling, Too,
reminds us: There are, happily, still men as well as
women who understand that without love (and by love I
dont mean romantic nonsense but great compassion for
the world and its joys and suffering) we live like dead people and that to put away sanity, clarity, understanding and
the joy of being part of living in favor of ambition, greed
and self-importance is to live with no meaning at all.
And, from many years ago: Love is patient and kind;
love is not jealous, or conceited, or proud; love is not illmannered, or selsh or irritable; love does not keep a
record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is
happy with the truth. Love never gives up; its faith, hope
and patience never fail. Love is eternal. There are faith,
hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is
love. 1 Corinthians 13.
Love doesnt make the world go round. Love is what
makes the ride worthwhile. Ella Fitzgerald.
Oh, love is a glorious cycle of song/ a medley of
extemporania./ And love is a thing that can never go
wrong./And I am Marie of Romania. Dorothy Parker.
Now that you are inspired, I hope Valentines Day
encourages all of us to distribute love generously to people in our lives and to the world in general, because, as
Carl Jung wrote: Where love rules, there is no will to
power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking.
Love is everywhere, I see it. You are all that you can
be, go be it. Life is perfect, I believe it. Come and play
the game with me. John Denver.
Happy Valentines Day!

Oil on wild ride; How will it end?


By Jonathan Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The price of oil is on a


wild ride, and there is little agreement
on where its headed.
After falling nearly 60 percent from a
peak last June, the price of oil has now
bounced back 19 percent since late
January, closing Monday near $53. Oil
has fallen or risen by 3 percent or more
on 14 of 26 trading days so far this
year. By comparison, the stock market
hasnt had a move that big in more than
three years.
Predicting prices is especially tricky
now because the oil market has never
quite looked like this. Oil price collapses of the past were triggered either by
plummeting demand or an increase in
supplies. This latest one had both.
Production in the U.S. and elsewhere

has been rising, while slower economic


growth in China and weak economies
in Europe and Japan means demand for
oil isnt growing as much as expected.
As recent trading shows, any sign of
reduced production inspires traders to
buy oil, and every new sign of rising
supplies sends prices lower. Price forecasts for the next year range from $20 a
barrel to $75.
There are many more laps to come
on this roller coaster, said Judith
Dwarkin, chief economist at ITG
Investment Research.
As oil bounces up and down, so will
the price of gasoline, diesel and other
fuels. Almost no one expects a return to
the very high prices of the last four
years, so drivers and shippers will continue to pay lower prices. Its a question of how much less, and for how
long.

Those expecting a quick and lasting


price jump see mounting evidence that
drillers in the U.S. are pulling back fast
because theyre no longer making
money. A closely-watched survey by
the oil services company Baker Hughes
shows that the number of rigs actively
drilling for oil fell to 1,140 last week,
down 29 percent from a record high of
1,609 in October.
Others say oil production is still rising and demand isnt yet catching up
a recipe for lower oil prices.
The oil bears argue that there are
plenty of rigs still working, and they
are now focused only on the most prolific spots. Also, oil services companies are charging significantly less for
equipment and expertise. This means
oil companies may be able to keep oil
supplies rising from already high levels despite low prices.

the upturn would likely to prove shortlived and predicted that rising inventory costs could push the price as low
as $20 a barrel.
Oil dropped more than 5 percent,
erasing three days of gains.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell $2.84 to
close at $50.02 a barrel in New York.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell $1.91 to close at $56.43 in
London.
Among individual stocks, CocaCola was one of the days winners
after reporting a better-than-expected
quarterly profit. The company
trimmed costs and fetched higher
prices for its drinks in North America.
The worlds biggest beverage maker
has been struggling to boost global
sales amid tepid growth overseas and a
shift away from soda back at home.
The companys stock rose $1.17, or
2.8 percent, to $42.40.
Apple said it would spend $850 million on a massive solar energy project
that will generate enough power for
the computer giants new office campus and its other California operations. First Solar, which is building
the facility, jumped $2.21, or 5 percent, to $48.54. Apples own stock
rose $2.30, or 2 percent, to $122.02.
With the gain, Apples market value
rose to $710 billion.

Business briefs
Apple building big solar
energy project in California
SAN FRANCISCO Apple will spend nearly $850 million
on a solar energy project that will generate enough power for
the computer giants new corporate headquarters, retail stores
and other operations in California.
The tech company will be the biggest single consumer of
energy from the new solar facility. It is being constructed on
2,900 acres in rural Monterey County, south of the San
Francisco Bay Area where Apple is headquartered.
The project reflects Apples concern about climate change,
CEO Tim Cook said at an investment conference Tuesday in
San Francisco. He added that the companys computer centers
already are powered by various forms of renewable energy.
Arizona-based First Solar Inc. is building the facility,
which will have a capacity of 280 megawatts. Apple has
signed a 25-year contract for electricity from 130 megawatts
of the plants capacity. Cook said that will be enough to
power the new headquarters Apple is building in Cupertino,
California, along with all of its other offices in the state, as
well as Apples 52 California retail stores and a computer center.

Eavesdropping concerns in Samsung smart TVs


SEOUL, South Korea Watch what you say in your living

At least thats what youd conclude in reading Samsungs
privacy policy for smart TVs. Voice recognition technology
in Samsungs Internet-connected TVs captures and transmits
nearby conversations. The policy warns, Please be aware
that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive

In a blog post Tuesday, Samsung said it is removing that
sentence and clarifying the policy to better explain what
actually occurs.
For the voice command feature to work, the TV listens for
predefined commands such as changing the channel or the
volume. That speech isnt stored or transmitted, according to
Samsung. But the remote control also has a microphone that
can not only respond to those commands but also search for

New ball should help college hitters


By David Brandt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSON, Miss. Tim Corbin sounded


more like a philosopher than Vanderbilts
coach as he talked about the new flat-seam
baseball designed to bring a little more
scoring back to the college game.
Finally, he hopes, after decades of tweaks
and trying to figure out the correct balance
between offense and pitching, the sport
might have found a solution that sticks.
Through the generations of the game,

its been so up and down, said Corbin, who


led the Commodores to their first national
championship in 2014. Weve always
wanted to find that medium where theres
some harmony between offense and defense.
I dont know if weve ever been exposed to
that.

On the practice field, coaches and players


are seeing the same results. Almost all
expect at least a modest boost in offense.

The change on the baseball is relatively


subtle: The seams have been lowered so its
more like the one used at the professional
level. Researchers found that the flat-seam
ball could travel as much as 20 feet farther in
the air than the previous raised-seam ball.

I think youre going to see a significant


jump in offensive numbers across the board,
not just in homers, UCLA coach John
Savage said. The ball is definitely more
lively. Fly balls that used to hang up in the
air and get caught are now falling for dou-

Real results will be available soon: The


college season starts on Friday and pretty
much everyone is suggesting fans get the
gloves ready in the bleachers.

Mills alone in first


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Year in and year out, the Mills boys basketball team is one of the best squads not only in
the Peninsula Athletic League but the Central
Coast Section.
The Vikings have had shares of several PAL
division titles over the last decade, but one
accomplishment has eluded them: an outright
league championship.
No one can pinpoint the exact year the
Vikings last won an PAL title by themselves,
but the Mills braintrust current coach Rick
Hanson and former longtime coach Bob
Thompson believe the last time the Vikings
won an outright league title was 1973.
Tuesday night, Mills went to Redwood City
to face Sequoia in a PAL South showdown for
first place. Mills took a giant step toward winning their first outright crown in 42 years by
beating the Cherokees 50-43.
This is huge, said Mills senior guard/forward Marquis Adkins, who finished with nine
points, nine rebounds and two assists. We
havent had a league championship in a long
time.
Just a week ago, Sequoia was coming off a
big win over Burlingame that moved the
Cherokees to 9-0. Since then, the Cherokees
have lost two straight to drop into second
place.
Mills came in and played really well, said
Sequoia coach Fine Lauese. We knew it was
going to be tough.
Mills (10-1 PAL South, 18-5 overall) trailed
for the entire first quarter, but outscored
Sequoia (9-2, 18-5) 13-6 in the second quarter
to take a 30-25 lead at halftime. The Vikings
then held off the Cherokees in the second half.
Mills led by two, 38-36, after three quarters
and Sequoia closed the deficit to one, 42-41,
following a Chris Bene dunk with 3:53 to
play.
Sequoia, however, would get no closer as the
Cherokees would score only one more basket
the rest of the way. Mills closed out the game
by hitting 5 of 6 free throws over the final 23
seconds.

bles. Youre really going to have to have


speed on defense.
University of San Francisco coach Nino
Giarratano said the change was a win for
everyone.
The ball itself is going to have a good
impact on the game, he said. Maybe well

which will make the game more exciting.

bats since 1974, was long known for mammoth homers and crooked numbers on the

all-star coach

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

Mills Danny Yu gets fouled on his way to the basket in the third quarter of the Vikings 50-43
win over Sequoia to take sole possession of first place in the PAL South race.

OAKLAND Steve Kerr is smiling a lot


these days.
He can drive 15 minutes to watch his
daughter, Maddy, play volleyball at the
University of California. He can take a short
flight to see his son, Nick, compete on the
University of San Diegos basketball team.
And he can summon his wife, Margot, and
their youngest son, Matthew, for weekend
trips to the Bay Area
from their Southern
California home.
As if being surrounded
by family wasnt sweet
enough, Kerrs career has
never been better.
The rookie coach has
guided the Golden State
Warriors (41-9) to the
Steve Kerr
NBAs best record, earned
the right to lead the
Western Conference in the All-Star game and
built a strong case for NBA Coach of the
Year honors.
Lifes good. I dont have any stress right
now, Kerr said.
This is exactly the balance Kerr envisioned last May when he reversed course
3,000 miles west.
Back then, Kerr verbally committed to
coach the New York Knicks and help mentor
Phil Jackson rebuild the fallen franchise,
which has been a disaster so far. Instead, the
Warriors fired Mark Jackson a few days later
and convinced Kerr to coach a championship-caliber roster closer to home.
The one great move that I made was just
taking the Warriors job. That was a great
move, Kerr said.

Tim Flannery pursues new life away from baseball


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILL VALLEY As the fungo bats


emerge and pitchers and catchers begin
their February fielding practice, Tim
Flannery plans to be catching a big wave
somewhere off Costa Rica.
Thats his version of a spring training
workout these days after nearly 40 years
wearing a baseball uniform.
Its still offseason for me, the former

Giants third base coach


said with a grin. Itll be
nice when they go to
spring training and I go
to Costa Rica to surf.
At 57, Flannery needed
a baseball break. Hes
playing
music
and
singing with his band,
Tim Flannery The Lunatic Fringe, in
large part for philanthropic causes through the Love Harder

Project he inspired, and he just signed on to


be a studio analyst for Comcast SportsNet
Bay Area working pregame and postgame
shows covering his old club.
So much for this guy having a tough time
adjusting to life in retirement the way many
former athletes do. Not a bad way to go out
of the game, either: On his own terms, with
three World Series championships in five
years.
He was recently honored with a
Coaching Corps Game Changer award.

Eight years ago if youd told me, You


might go to the World Series, you might
win one, if youd have told me, Youre
going to go to the World Series and win
three, I would have said, Youre crazy, that
doesnt happen, he said.
Yet in the midst of an up-and-down season
that ended with the high of another improbable title, Flannery would call home and
hear the things he was missing. He wanted
to be there with his family.

Heats Wade will not


play in All-Star Game
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI Dwyane Wade wanted to play in


the All-Star Game and wants to be as healthy
as possible for the stretch run of the season.
So playing this weekend was deemed an
unneeded risk.
The Miami Heat guard announced Tuesday
he will not play in the NBAs midseason
showcase, a decision made in an abundance
of caution as he continues recovering from
his latest hamstring injury. Wade has missed
Miamis last six games
and will remain inactive
when the Heat close their
pre-All-Star schedule in
Cleveland on Wednesday
night.
I felt like this was
best, Wade said. I wasnt going to play much
either way. I think with
Dwyane Wade the circumstances, I
think the smartest thing
to do is let someone else come in and really
enjoy the All-Star experience. ... I think I
owe it to the Heat fans to at least play in a
Heat jersey rst than go out there in the AllStar Game and play a couple minutes.
His replacement on the Eastern
Conference roster will be selected by NBA
Commissioner Adam Silver. Candidates
could include Atlantas Kyle Korver and
Clevelands Kevin Love, though Wade said
if he got a say in the pick he would go with
Milwaukees Brandon Knight a Miami
native.
I think itd be tting for a Miami guy to
take an honorary Miami guys spot, Wade
said. Hes done a great job of leading that
team.
Wade will still go to New York for All-Star
weekend, with a number of events planned
with business partners including Stance, Li
Ning and Hublot. Also on Wades schedule:
Hell host an exclusive spades tournament

Sports brief
Royal & Ancient announces
first female members
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland The Royal
and Ancient Golf Club announced its first
seven female members on Thursday, including Swedish great Annika Sorenstam and
Britains Princess Anne.
The club voted in September to end 260
years of male-only exclusivity by voting in
favor of inviting women to join.
R&A captain George Macgregor described
the admittance of seven female honorary
members as an historic day for the club.
Sorenstam, a 10-time major champion
from Sweden, wrote on Twitter: I am very
honored to be one of the lucky ladies.
Princess Anne, who competed in equestrian for Britain at the 1976 Olympics and is
an IOC member, is the only female honorary

for NBA players and celebrities, plus a


bowling event to raise funds for Game
Changer, a sports program created by his
Wades World Foundation and Sandals
Foundation to assist youth in underserved
communities.
There will also be league matters to tend
to, with Wade committed to attend the NBA
Players Association meeting.
Im going to listen, Wade said, and to
let my voice be heard.
The hope from the Heat camp is that Wade
will be fully ready to play when the team
resumes practice Feb. 18, and that his return
to the lineup could come when Miami visits
the New York Knicks on Feb. 20.
Wade, a three-time NBA champion, has
been an All-Star selection in each of the last
11 seasons, including when he was the
games MVP in 2010. He has not played
since straining his right hamstring Jan. 27,
which wasnt long after he overcame an
issue with his left hamstring.
Wednesdays absence will be his 17th out
of 52 Heat games this season. He and fellow
All-Star Chris Bosh have played together in
only 28 games this year, a number the Heat
hope to see get substantially larger after the
break.
Were going to make to make sure were
playing our best basketball, Bosh said.
And hopefully this thing can come together.
Miami is assured of being no worse than
eighth in the East standings when the season resumes next week, and the race for the
nal two spots on that side of the NBAs
playoff bracket gures to go down to the
wire. Milwaukee currently holds the No. 6
spot in the East, 6 1/2 games ahead of
Charlotte and Miami.
Four other teams entered Tuesday within
three games of the Bobcats and the Heat.
Its going to be an interesting second
half of the season for us, because weve got
something to play for, Wade said. Well
see how we respond.

brother Prince Andrew and the Duke of Kent.
The Princess Royal enjoys a strong bond
with Scotland and has shown great energy
and commitment to developing sport
through her work in the Olympic movement, Macgregor said.
Golf is returning to the Olympics in Rio
de Janeiro next year after an absence of more

Two other British honorary members are

Kerr learn how to push his players.


One notable instance came before Klay
Thompson scored an NBA-record 37 points
in the third quarter of a win against
Sacramento on Jan. 23. In the halftime locker room, Kerr questioned and critiqued his
players focus and took an extraordinary
measure to motivate them.
Honestly, he just said at halftime he wasnt calling anything. He wasnt going to
call any plays. He was just going to let us
figure it out and make us get our focus back.
And thats what we did, Thompson said.
We respond well when he gets on us. And he
knows how to get under our skin. Its a good
thing.
As a broadcaster for TNT, Kerr jotted down
plays and formations he liked. He also wrote
words of wisdom coaches passed along during pregame meetings.
The most recognizable change the
Warriors have made under Kerr is an offense
that has more ball movement, breaking
away from the isolation-heavy system
Jackson used the previous three years.
Kerrs style has flavors of the triangle
offense from his days playing for Phil
Jackson in Chicago, the pace-and-space
attack of Gregg Popovich in San Antonio
and the up-tempo schemes assistant coach

Alvin Gentry ran when Kerr was the general


manager in Phoenix.
Kerr kept the same core principles his
predecessor installed on defense, which was
already among the best in the NBA, and the
all-around game has given Golden State unrivaled results.
The Warriors began Tuesday ranked No. 1
in shooting (48.1 percent) and opponents
shooting (42.2 percent). They were leading
the league in offensive (110.4) and defensive (97.8) efficiency, which measures the
number of points per 100 possessions, and
averaging an NBA-best 27.3 assists.
Its precisely the kind of efficient and
entertaining style Kerr sold to Warriors
owner Joe Lacob and general manager Bob
Myers during the interview process. Its
what lured two of the NBAs top assistants
Gentry and Ron Adams to join him and
solidified one of the leagues best staffs.
I think this is something that hes been
preparing for a long, long time, Gentry
said. This is not something that he decided
at the last minute, Oh, Ill be a coach. I
think if you go back and look at the games
that he broadcast, he was always aware of
whats going on.
Kerr recognized right away that the
Warriors already were a tight-knit group, and

he leveraged that team-first mentality to get


players to accept new ways of doing things.
He got former All-Stars Andre Iguodala and
Lee to embrace reserve roles, ran more grueling practices and encouraged constant competition for playing time. There has been
more attention to detail on the coaching
staff, which was sorely lacking under
Jackson, who had two assistants jettisoned
last year. And there has been plenty of praise
to go around.
The biggest thing I see with the coaching
staff is theres no agendas, theres no
favorites, theres no, Thats my guy, I have
to rebound for him. Or, Thats my guy. I
have to work with him. Its whoever, and
whatever, Bogut said. Everybodys comfortable in their own skin, and I think that
starts with Steve Kerr.
Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, a
longtime friend of Kerrs, said Kerrs wideranging experience is a big reason he has
been so comfortable coaching so quickly.
Steve has a unique perspective because
hes seen things from a lot of different
angles from a players perspective, from
a GMs perspective, now from a coachs perspective and from a media perspective,
Thibodeau said. I think its a great frame of
reference for him.

up and down the third-base line, wildly waving his right arm and willing players home.
Flan took me in as a 20-year-old kid. I
didnt know how to work, said pitcher Jake
Peavy, who played for Bochy and Flannery
in San Diego and with the Giants. I was sitting around twiddling my thumbs at my
locker and he said, Come on, lets go bunt,
lets go learn how to run the bases. Me and
him struck up a unique friendship. He taught
me how to play guitar, a great release. He
probably got me in some trouble but he
kept me out of more trouble the older I get.
As anybody knows, Flan gave his heart and
soul. Flan is all in.
Now, Flannery pours out that same energy
and soul on stage.
Last month, he was preparing for his third
straight concert out of four in as many days.

Weve been killing it, Flannery said.


For all the adjustments former athletes
must make when moving into the oftendaunting life of retirement devoid of the
daily, pre-made schedule of professional
sports Flannerys transition appears
seamless.
I know there are other things in my life,
he said. I felt like I hit my peak coaching
third for the world champs in the best ballpark in the best city. There was nothing
more I could do. When we lost, we sometimes as coaches take it so hard its almost
like you feel youre not good enough. We
won three world championships. Im going
to feel good about it all the time.
Before his Jan. 24 gig at the Sweetwater
Music Hall in the Marin County town of
Mill Valley, he still had a bit of coaching to

do. He wished wife Donna good luck as she


went outside to sell T-shirts.
He used to play 25 shows a year, and now
will do about 50. His schedule is no longer
dictated by the baseball calendar.
Im 57, how long am I going to keep running down that line? said Flannery, who
had an 11-year playing career, all with the
Padres.
Bochy will have to adjust, too.
Im happy for Flan. Hes going to pursue
his passion for music, Bochy said. You
dont spend 32 years with somebody and
not miss them. Im going to miss his
friendship, Im going to miss the great job
he did at third base. Were still going to see
each other. This isnt a eulogy, this is a guy
whos ready to go to the next chapter in his
life.

Dorsett played football not


knowing of after effects
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett says he


started playing football not
knowing that the end was going to
be like this what he calls a
frustrating battle with a condition
caused by head
trauma that can
lead to dementia
and depression.
The former
H e i s m a n
Trophy winner
at Pittsburgh
and Super Bowl
champion with
Tony Dorsett the
Dallas
Cowboys was
diagnosed in 2013 as having
signs of chronic traumatic
encephalopathy, a degenerative
brain condition. Dorsett told
Dallas-area radio station KTCKAM 1310 last week that he loves
football and it was good to me.
Its just unfortunate that Im
going through what Im going
through, Dorsett said. Im in the
ght, man. Im not just laying
around letting this overtake me.
Im hoping we can reverse this
thing somehow.
In a lengthy interview with The
Associated Press in 2012, Dorsett
discussed the toll his football
career took on his body and brain,

detailing a helmet-to-helmet hit in


a 1984 game that knocked him
out. He called it the hardest hit he
ever took.
That aint the rst time I was
knocked out or been dazed over the
course of my career, and now Im
suffering for it, Dorsett told the
AP three years ago. And the NFL
is trying to deny it.
Dorsett and thousands of former
players have accused the NFL of
long hiding what it knew about
concussions and brain injuries to
keep players on the eld. The 60year-old Dorsett opted out of a settlement between the NFL and former players that could end up paying out $1 billion. He said he
wanted his case to stand on its
merits.
Dorsett, who rushed for 12,738
yards in 12 seasons with the
Cowboys and won his only Super
Bowl when he was a rookie after
the 1977 season, told the radio
station he often forgets how to get
to places hes visited for years. He
has previously said he was troubled by short-tempered moments
with his family.
Some days are good. Some days
are bad, Dorsett told the radio station. I signed up for this when, I
guess, I started playing football
so many years ago. But, obviously, not knowing that the end was
going to be like this.

COLLEGE
Continued from page 11
scoreboard a game where even a 5-foot-9,
165-pound middle infielder could easily get a
baseball out of the park.
That all changed in 2011, when new standards for the bats drastically reduced all kinds
of offense. The effects were most pronounced
during the College World Series at spacious TD
Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska. Only
three homers were hit during both the 2013 and
2014 tournaments, which matched the lowest
total since 1966 when wood bats were used.
The lack of offense the past four years has
been widely criticized, especially by coaches.
At one point, UC Irvine coach Mike Gillespie
called the bat change a nightmare. TCU
coach Jim Schlossnagle was also blunt: Its
just a travesty what weve done to college
baseball.
After much clamoring for another change,
the new baseball was seen as a compromise.
Not surprisingly, college hitters are pleased.
The ball definitely jumps off the bat a little
more if you square it up, Vanderbilt shortstop
Dansby Swanson said. The game has definite-

A flat-seam baseball will be used in the college ranks this season. They are more in line with
what is used at the professional level and it is expected to generate more offense, which has
been down since the NCAA changed bat specifications.
ly been dominated by pitching the last few
years. This might help make it a little more
even.
Said Saint Marys College third baseman

Anthony Villa: We seem to have a little more


pop. The flat-seam baseballs feel good off the
bat and throwing them across the diamond.
They still roll true. I think its a good change.

College pitchers also say there are reasons


to be excited about the switch. Vanderbilts
Walker Buehler and UCLAs James Kaperlian
who are both considered high-level
prospects for Junes Major League Baseball
amateur draft dont expect to have many
issues.
Kaperlian says its clear that the new baseball will travel farther, but he feels any change
that helps mimic conditions at the professional level is a good thing.
Personally, I like it, Kaperlian said. I
think pitchers who throw tight breaking balls
and throw through the glove are still going to
be very successful. There shouldnt be too
much of a drop off.
Buehler agreed: If youre a guy who needed
the high seams to get some spin on the ball,
than it might be a problem. But for guys with
power stuff two-seam fastballs, cutters and
sliders I think it could be beneficial.
Savage said he hopes the main beneficiary
will be college baseball as a whole.
The (low scoring) era has treated us pretty
well weve been to the College World Series
three of the last five years, Savage said. But
for the bigger picture and for the interest in the
game, I think its going to have a significant
difference.

Egypt detains three soccer fans following stampede


By Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO Egyptian prosecutors have


ordered three soccer fans detained for 15
days and have released 18 others on bail in
the wake of a deadly stampede outside a
Cairo stadium. The fans are accused of
attacking policemen, damaging police cars
and terrorizing the public, an official said
Tuesday.
The official said the three still detained
include a 15-year old. He said 18 others were
released after paying a $26 bail each, pending investigation. They are all also accused
of rioting and burning a police car.
The official spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorized to
speak to reporters.
Earlier, prosecutor Mohammed Seif told
reporters that none of the 21 had been formally charged with anything yet.
Authorities say at least 19 people were
killed Sunday night, when police fired tear
gas into a crowd of fans waiting in a fenced,
narrow corridor to try to enter the stadium in

NORWOOD, Mass. Malcolm Butler has

truck.
Brady earned the prize for winning the
Super Bowl MVP for the third time. He led

Seattle Seahawks in this years game.
But New England didnt clinch the win
until Butler intercepted a pass at the goal

he would give the truck to Butler, who was

Butler took delivery of the shiny red truck

MILLS
Continued from page 11
Im happy for the kids, Hanson said.
They deserve a key win.
Mills Brandon Matsuno led all scorers with
a game-high 14 points. Miguel Madrigal added
10 points and seven rebounds in the win.
Sequoia was paced by Bene and NJai
LeBlanc, who each scored 12 points. Ziggy
Lauese added 10 for the Cherokees.
The game started at a break-neck pace as the
teams combined for 36 first-quarter points.
Sequoia controlled the offensive glass early
on, getting three buckets off of putbacks.
Mills struggled matching up with the 6-6 Bene
and 6-4 Lauese defensively.
Hanson said he was concerned with
Matching up with their height and they get a
long sprint of real good play and they did it
again.
On the offensive end, however, the Vikings
made the Cherokees respect their quickness.
Madrigal, a 6-2 forward who was guarded by
Lauese, set the tone for the Vikings by scoring
seven of his teams first nine points. He pulled
Lauese out of the paint by taking passes on the
perimeter and then going by and around for
layup attempts. Lauese picked up two quick
fouls in the opening six minutes and had to sit
down for a bulk of the second quarter.
Mills trailed 15-14 following a Cole
Brouqua 3-pointer, but the Cherokees pushed
the lead back to 19-14 following a dunk and a
tip-in from Bene. An Adkins 3-pointer cut the
Vikings deficit to 19-17 after one quarter.
LeBlanc, who scored all his points on four
3-pointers, nailed his second of the first half

which couldnt be reconciled Tuesday,


reflects the confused, bitter disputes
between police and civilian accounts of
what happened.
Government officials defended the police
tactics, arguing that fans without tickets
wanted to break into the stadium. Fan representatives rejected those accusations.
Egypts government ordered the soccer
league to suspend games nationwide, indefinitely, following the violence.
Police repeatedly have been accused of
using excessive force on crowds and
protests - a focus for anti-government protesters ever since a popular uprising forced
Egypts longtime leader Hosni Mubarak
from power in 2011.
Sixteen human rights groups issued a
joint statement Tuesday blaming police for
the deaths. They accused officers of attacking the crowd in a vengeful manner. They
said police must be held accountable for
their role in violence, or they would be
encouraged to commit more.
Police have increasingly used force
against protests since 2013, when the army
ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi
from power. Security forces since have pursued anti-government activists, from both
Islamist and secular factions, in an atmosphere intolerant of criticism.
to open the second quarter, which was
answered by Mills Marquez Bura. LeBlanc
drained his third 3-pointer moments later to
give Sequoia a 25-20 lead with 4:10 left in the
second, but Mills closed the quarter on a 10-0
run to take a 30-25 lead into the locker room.
Sequoia remained in striking distance in the
third quarter, closing the period with a baseline
layup from Bene and a bucket from Lauese to
close to 38-36 going into the final eight minutes.
Just like the second quarter, however,
Sequoia failed to make a move. The Cherokees
scored six points in the second and six in the
fourth.
Mills, meanwhile, took the air out of the
ball in the final period, holding it for long
stretches of play clock before initiating its
offense.
Once we got ahead, we wanted to drain the
clock, Adkins said.
Sequoias chance to possibly pull out the
win were severely hampered with about 20 seconds left. Down 47-43, Bene attempted a
cross-court pass to LeBlanc. Adkins jumped
the passing lane and tipped the ball off
LeBlanc and out of bounds. The Vikings were
fouled and made 1 of 2 from the line with 14
seconds left to push their lead to 48-43 before
getting two more free throws from Danny Yu
with six seconds left to ice the game.
Now the Vikings have one last task standing
between them and a PAL South championship:
Capuchino. And Mills is definitely not overlooking its rival.
We have to beat a good Cap team, Adkins
said.
Added Hanson: Cap played us tough the last
time. [My team] knows (whats at stake). Itll
be Senior Night. Caps our rival.

Kikkoman bottle symbolizes


soy sauce in much of world
TOKYO Its a simple glass bottle with a
red top that has become a symbol of soy
sauce in Japan and much of the world.
More than half a century after its creation,
the Kikkoman soy sauce bottle remains a
familiar and comforting shape on restaurant
and dining room tables in many countries.
Sumi Murayama, 71, has purchased soy
sauce in the bottles since she opened a
Japanese restaurant in Tokyo 40 years ago.
The best part of the bottle is its smart red
cap, which doesnt drip, she said. Its simplicity perfectly fits a downtown restaurant

Food brief
like this. The bottles designer, Kenji
Ekuan, died Saturday of a heart condition at
age 85. He had said he wanted to design a
small soy sauce bottle that could be used
conveniently for both cooking and serving
because of childhood memories of his mother pouring sauce from a heavy 2-liter (halfgallon) bottle into a tabletop dispenser. He
also designed a Yamaha motorcycle, highspeed trains and audio equipment.
Kikkoman, the worlds largest soy sauce
brewer, said the bottle helped bring its brand
out of the kitchen into restaurants and dining
rooms.

Michelle Obama said shes trying to deliver a message of change that doesnt assign blame
but provides information needed to make better choices.

Foodie first lady says


cheese dust is not food
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Michelle Obama says


she dropped boxed macaroni and cheese
from her familys diet after her daughter
couldnt turn a block of cheese into cheese
powder.
In an interview in the March issue of
Cooking Light magazine, Mrs. Obama says
Sam Kass, the familys former personal
chef, had taken a stand against the boxed
variety, which includes processed cheese
powder among the ingredients.
He said theres nothing wrong with mac
and cheese, but its got to be real food, she
said, crediting him with helping to eliminate processed food from their diet.
Kass gave her daughter Malia, who was
about 8 years old at the time, a block of

cheese and challenged her to turn the fresh


cheese into powder.
She sat there for 30 minutes trying to
pulverize a block of cheese into dust, Mrs.
Obama says. She was really focused on it
and it just didnt work, so she had to give up.
And from then on, we stopped eating macaroni and cheese out of a box because cheese
dust is not food, as was the moral of the
story.
As she marks the fifth anniversary of her
anti-childhood-obesity initiative, the first
lady says it feels like theres a new norm
in how families think about food and whats
healthy.
Because food is personal and people are
obsessed with it, Mrs. Obama said shes trying to deliver a message of change that

Mix and match take on mac and cheese


By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Do you love macaroni and cheese? Stupid question, right?


OK, so lets try this one: How could you love macaroni and
cheese even more?
Now were talking. Because there are all sorts of simple
ways to doctor an already awesome pan of basic mac and
cheese to take our love of this dish to a whole new level.
But lets start with the basics our classic take on macaroni and cheese. Since everyone is pressed for time, we kept
it simple with a stovetop version that will have you ready
to eat in about 20 minutes.
But we didnt sacrifice flavor to get that speed. Four cups
of cheese a blend of cheddar and Gruyere keep this dish
rich and gooey. Want to push it even further? Add some grated Parmesan cheese and maybe even aged gouda. Now
youve got yourself a four-cheese mac and cheese.
You could enjoy it as is, but well also walk you through
three ways to up the ante. Want to keep it simple? How
about a crunchy-salty topping of crushed potato chips? Or
maybe youre looking for a little spice in your life. Our
Midwestern take combines jalapenos and smoked paprika
for kick. And no one would think less of you for combining
both those ideas perhaps a Midwestern mac and cheese
topped with barbecue chips.
Or if youre trying to be virtuous, our green goddess version adds asparagus and a whole mess of fresh herbs. You
can pretend all that greenery cancels out all the cheese.

younger than we are doing that now,
theyre going to be some of the

Get ready to add white to the rainbow of produce you eat


By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I talk to my kids every day


about eating a rainbow of produce
in order to get all the nutrients
they need. But you know what
color is left out of the rainbow?
White.
That is, at least according to my
7-year-old twins when I presented
cauliflower to them at the dinner
table. What a shame. Have we lost
all the love for the contributions
of white veggies like onions and
cauliflower and all their good-foryou nutrients?
So what better time than winter
to celebrate an oft-overlooked
white veggie the turnip! The
turnip is misunderstood and
passed over all too quickly. Raw,
its flavor is sharp, even unpleasant. But as it cooks the turnip
softens into a milder, earthy,
slightly sweet flavor.
Nutritionally speaking, the
turnip is a rock star. A large turnip
has only 50 calories, but is jam
packed with vitamin C, as well as
smaller amounts of all sort of
other nutrients. And turnips are a
two-for-one veggie, meaning you
buy the root and you get the turnip
greens for free.
Dont throw those greens
away. They are nutritional powerhouses, too! Wash them, chop
them, then saute, steam or braise
them as you would any other
green. And dunking them in a pot

LAWSUIT
Continued from page 1
reports on projects that could change the
environment.
The suit also questions the role of highspeed rail as $600 million of the electrification cost will be paid by the California
High-Speed Rail Authority because the two
agencies are planning eventually to share
the tracks.
The lawsuit claims that the report
approved by the joint powers board Jan. 8
didnt adequately study the projects impact
on traffic, station configurations, tree
removal and electricity demand, or look at
the effect of possible legal challenges to
the rail authoritys use of state bond money
for the project.
Already in the midst of planning,
Caltrain issued a request for proposals last
week for the design of its massive system
upgrade aimed at keeping with increasing
ridership and spokeswoman Jayme
Ackemann said it will stay the course.
There is some risk, but in this case we
feel confident that we can continue forward
with the work were doing without delays
while we continue to address the merits of
the lawsuit. We believe we will be able to
successfully litigate this because we feel we
have already addressed many of the issues

program.
Trustee Audrey Ng, who also sits on the
Next Steps committee, said the wiser plan
of action for the district might be starting
small with a neighborhood school, then
gauge its success, before considering to
expand.
We had that in the past, College Park was
a neighborhood school, and it was not successful, she said.
Superintendent Cynthia Simms said in an
email that there is space on the College
Park Elementary campus to add another
building which could add additional classrooms to the district.
Discussion about a small specialized
neighborhood school to be built on the

THE DAILY JOURNAL

raised by Atherton, Ackemann said.


In its RFP, Caltrain specifies the chosen
bidder must design a project that minimizes
impacts to trees and address other issues
raised by the communities along the corridor.
Atherton was the only one of the 17
cities and towns along the corridor to sue
over the FEIR and Caltrain officials are disappointed it chose this route, Ackemann
said.
Atherton City Manager George Rodericks
said in a statement, The town met with
Caltrain in an attempt to reach commitment
on a number of remaining issues. Caltrains
response did not contain sufficient commitment to deter the town from a legal challenge to the FEIR.
Caltrain officials have maintained the
agency is federally regulated by the Surface
Transportation Board therefore its plans for
electrification are eligible for pre-exemption from CEQA. Ackemann said the agency
is committed to the environmental review
and mitigation process, however, officials
previously said they reserved the right to
assert pre-exemption in the case of a lawsuit.
Yet another suit challenging pre-exemption was filed against the Surface
Transportation Board, which regulates the
nations railroads, in the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in San Francisco Monday.
The lawsuit appeals a December ruling in
which the Washington, D.C.-based board

said that plans by the California HighSpeed Rail Authority cant be challenged
under CEQA because the state law is preempted by federal law.
The board said by a 2-1 vote that people
who claim the environmental review for
Fresno-Bakersfield segment of the line was
inadequate cant use the state law to seek an
injunction in the California court system
that would stop construction on the project.
Kings County, Kern County and five
civic groups claim in the lawsuit that the
boards decision was legally erroneous and
violated the groups constitutional right to
seek redress for their grievances.
This is about whether California gets to
protect its own environment for its own
rail system, said David Schonbrunn of the
San Rafael-based Transportation Solutions
Defense and Education Fund, one of the citizens groups participating in the case.
The
Woodside-based
Community
Coalition on High-Speed Rail is also a
plaintiff in the lawsuit.
The 65-mile, $1. 2 billion segment
between Fresno and Bakersfield is the next
in line for construction to begin and the
rail
authority
certified
a
Final
Environmental Impact Report on it in May
2014.
Work has already begun on a more northern 29-mile, $950 million segment from
central Madera County to Fresno.
A spokesman
for
the
Surface
Transportation Board had no immediate

comment on the lawsuit.


Rail authority spokeswoman Lisa Marie
Alley said the agency is currently seeking
clarification from a Sacramento County
Superior Court judge on what the next steps
should be in six lawsuits pending in that
court, in view of the Transportation Surface
Board ruling.
Those lawsuits challenge the adequacy of
the FEIR approved by the authority under
the CEQA law last year. A seventh lawsuit
filed by the city of Bakersfield was settled
by that city and the authority in December.
Oakland attorney Stuart Flashman, who
represents Atherton and several groups in
both lawsuits, said, I think the HighSpeed Rail Authority is being somewhat of
a bully, saying, We want things our way.
Ackemann contended Caltrains plans for
electrification, while funded in part by
high-speed rail, do not clear the way for the
controversial state project.
Our project has independent utility.
Whether high-speed rail ever comes to the
region or when they ever come to the
region, our project will have benefits that
are immediate, Ackemann said. Highspeed rail will have to clear their own environmental impact report before they can
ever operate on our tracks so Atherton and
any other community that has concerns
about high-speed rail will have an opportunity to address high-speed rails use of our
tracks when they go through their environmental process.

vacant corner of the College Park campus


next to Turnbull Child Development Center
is one of many options being considered,
she said.
Should a facility be built on the College
Park Elementary site, existing campus
amenities would be shared between the two
schools.
Students from North Central currently
have the option to enroll in the Mandarin
immersion program at College Park
Elementary, or be bused to other neighborhood schools in the district.
During the meeting Monday, Feb. 9, committee members also agreed that more classrooms could be added to the district by putting multipurpose buildings on campuses.
They also discussed renovating middle
school gyms and building additional classrooms as parts of those projects, said
Hudak.
According to a demographer report, the

district student population is expected to


grow by 254 students by the coming fall.
Furthermore, the district is projected to
grow cumulatively by 481 students by 2017
and 617 students in 2019.
To accommodate more students coming
into the district, 75 new classrooms are necessary, according to the report.
Ultimately, the committee will be faced
with the decision whether to recommend
trustees ask voters for a bond measure to
finance the facility concerns.
In 2013, voters shot down Measure P,
which would have financed the reconstruction and rebuilding of Bowditch Middle
School to house fifth-grade students from
Foster City and reopen Knolls Elementary
School in San Mateo.
Hudak said it likely will be necessary to
ask residents to support a tax measure to
pay for facility improvements.
I just dont see that we can deal with

capacity issues without a bond, he said.


Superintendent Simms has stressed the
value of finding no cost options, which
could address enrollment concerns and not
ask voters to support a new tax.
The district has begun fitting students
onto campuses by using creative means,
such as adjusting the amount of class periods, to give the district additional facility
flexibility.
But Hudak said those are likely only
short-term solutions to the long-term
capacity concerns.
The committee will meet again Feb. 13 to
further discuss facility concerns, in anticipation of developing strategies to collect
community feedback on by the end of the
month, said Hudak.

NBC suspends anchor Williams


for six months without pay
NEW YORK NBC announced
Tuesday that it is suspending Brian
Williams as Nightly News anchor and
managing editor for six months without pay for misleading the public about
his experiences covering the Iraq War.
NBC chief executive Steve Burke
said Williams actions were inexcusable and jeopardized the trust he has
built up with viewers during his decade
as the networks lead anchor. But he
said Williams deserved a second
chance.
Williams apologized last week for
saying he was in a helicopter that was
hit by a grenade while covering the Iraq
War in 2003. Instead, another helicopter flying ahead of his was hit, and

CITY HALL
Continued from page 1
Fundamentally, no ones priority is
rebuilding City Hall. It has significant
maintenance, health and seismic
issues, he said.
Goldman said there has been
asbestos found in City Hall walls,
which further complicates any possible renovations to the building. There
are also existing capacity concerns,
and little available space for community gathering.
City Hall is not a particularly useful
building, she said.
The plan to turn city-owned property
into more housing and parking with
little cost to the city is an ideal solution, said Brownrigg.
Its about getting social and public
benefit, without paying for it, if we
can, he said.
Eight companies submitted propos-

On Tuesday, the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors discussed spending the special tax revenue toward
some top priorities including constructing affordable housing and ending homelessness; supporting foster
youth; elder care; bracing for climate
change and; legal services for the most
vulnerable groups in the county.
The board opted to pass on accepting
a recommendation that Measure A sales
tax revenue be spent on new initiatives, however, by forming a subcommittee of supervisors Warren Slocum
and Adrienne Tissier to revisit the
process used to spend the $30 million
for new initiatives.

LOS ANGELES Jon Stewart, who

turned his biting and free-wheeling


humor into an unlikely source of news
and analysis for viewers of The Daily
Show, will leave as host this year,
Comedy Central said Tuesday.
His departure was announced by
Comedy Central President Michele
Ganeless after Stewart, host of the show
since 1999, broke the news to the audience at Tuesdays taping in New York.
Through his unique voice and
vision, The Daily Show has become a
cultural touchstone for millions of fans
and an unparalleled platform for political comedy that will endure for years to
come, Ganeless said in a statement.
She called Stewart, 52, a comic
genius. He will remain as host until
later this year, she said, but did not
specify his exit date or what led to his
decision.

als to develop the parking lots south


of Howard Avenue into housing and
more parking. Staff is analyzing those
submissions and will come back to the
City Council with the top offers,
before selection. Goldman said there is
not a set date for that discussion.
She also said that developers have
already to begun to contact the city
with interest in the City Hall project,
but she said there will not be a formal
request for proposals announced for a
few more weeks.
Brownrigg said the city is open to
considering creative options by developers, so long as housing and parking
needs are addressed.
We are looking to enhance the
vitality of Burlingame, he said.
The citys financial footing has
improved since the rebound of the
economy, as the general fund has
increased 8.5 percent since last year.
But even the $4.3 million that city
coffers grew by last year is not enough
to address the long list of capital

improvement
projects
that
Burlingame is targeting, said
Goldman.
Residents have expressed interest in
refurbishing
the
Burlingame
Recreation Center in Washington
Park, but there is little financial flexibility to address such a project, she
said.
Goldman said there is hope that
should the city leverage its property
into addressing community needs such
as building more affordable housing,
parking and a new City Hall with little
cost to residents, voters might be willing to consider financing the construction of other infrastructure projects.
The city would likely need to ask
voters to approve a new tax to build
projects which would not be involved
in the proposed land swaps, which
Goldman acknowledged is more difficult.
Tax measures are a challenge, she
said. We will have to find the best way
to move forward.

A revenue for each of the next two years


will help pay for initiatives supervisors have already approved since the
tax was passed by voters in 2012.
About 25 percent of the tax, $40
million, will go toward park improvements, facilities and information technology infrastructure over the next
two years.
That leaves only $30 million of the
expected $160 million in tax revenue
over the next two years for new initiatives.
The county received more than 300
requests from local agencies for a total
of about $290 million with $177 million of the requests being for new initiatives.
In the past, Measure A money has
gone toward keeping Seton Medical
Center in Daly City operating with a
$11.5 million grant and supporting
SamTrans bus service with a $10 million grant.
Some of the applicants and their

requests for the next two years include:


Northern California Alzheimers
Association $1.05 million;
Institute on Aging $400,000;
InnVision/Shelter Network
$89,000;
Catholic Charities $500,000;
Healthier Kids Foundation
$268,200;
County Managers Office for affordable housing construction $10.5
million;
San Mateo County Library $1.6
million; and
Redwood City School District
$500,000.
Diana Reddy with the Housing
Leadership Council praised the board
Tuesday for making affordable housing
a priority.
Too many residents in the county are
getting eviction notices, Reddy said at
the study session.
The board is scheduled to decide
which new initiatives to fund in April.

People in the news


some veterans involved in the mission
called him out on it. The swift public
reaction had put NBC News on a crisis
footing.
NBC News President Deborah Turness
said in a memo that Williams misrepresented events that occurred while he
was covering the war.
It then became clear that on other
occasions Brian had done the same
while telling that story in other venues, Turness said. This was wrong and
completely inappropriate for someone
in Brians position.

and procedures that relate to this proceeding for the terminationn of custody
and control of Justin B. Decelis as set

Fighting intensifies
in eastern Ukraine
ahead of peace talks
By Peter Leonard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SARTANA,
Ukraine

Fighting intensified Tuesday in


eastern Ukraine as pro-Russia
rebels and Ukrainian troops
sought to extend their gains
ahead of crucial peace talks, and
the government accused the separatists of shelling a town far
behind the front lines, killing 12
people and wounding scores.
Germany, which has joined
with France to try to broker a
peace deal, urged Russia and
Ukraine to compromise and called
on the warring parties to refrain
from hostilities that could derail
a four-way summit Wednesday in
Minsk, Belarus.
Ukrainian President Petro
Poroshenko said the talks were

one of the last opportunities


for ending the fighting that has
killed more than 5,300 people
since April.
Poroshenko told parliament in
Kiev that the separatists launched
a rocket strike Tuesday on the
town of Kramatorsk, more than
30 miles (50 kilometers) from the
nearest front line, hitting a
regional military command center with the first salvo and then
striking a nearby residential area.
Rebels denied any involvement
in the attack and said it was a
provocation by the Ukrainian
authorities. Kramatorsk was the
site of major fighting until July,
when pro-Russian separatists
retreated.
The government-controlled
Donetsk administration said 12
people were killed by the barrage
in Kramatorsk and 64 were

wounded, including 29 civilians.
Photos on the local Donetskiye
Novosti website showed an
artillery shell embedded in the
ground next to a residential
building and two bodies lying
nearby.
Further south, the volunteer

Azov battalion, loyal to the government in Kiev, said on social


media Tuesday that it captured
several villages northeast of the
strategic port of Mariupol, pushing the rebels closer to the border
with Russia.
However, a rebel spokesman,

Eduard Basurin, insisted in a televised news conference that the


rebels had not retreated.
The pro-government volunteers said rebels shelled the village of Kominternove, east of
Mariupol, causing unspecified
civilian casualties.

Egypt leader on defensive over claims he mocked Gulf allies


By Maggie Michael
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO In a reflection of
Egypts massive dependence on
Gulf largesse, its president telephoned an array of oil-rich monarchs to control the damage after
allegedly being caught on tape discussing how to milk them for cash.
The quick move from an authori-

Abdel-Fattah
el-Sissi

tarian leader to
patch things up
came at a time
when Egypts
government is
hoping for more
help
from
regional allies
at an international conference
next

month. Gulf nations have thrown


Egypts government a lifeline of
tens of billions of dollars since
Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi at the time
the head of the military and now
Egypts president led the overthrow of Islamist President
Mohammed Morsi in the summer
of 2013.
Morsis Muslim
Brotherhood is seen as a dangerous
opponent by most Gulf monarchs,

and el-Sissi has waged a fierce


crackdown on the group the past
year.
The financial help, estimated by
one analyst at some $32 billion,
helped keep Egypts battered economy afloat after years of instability.
It also helped cement growing
military cooperation between
Egypt and the Gulf. Emirate planes,

for example, are believed to have


used Egyptian territory to launch
airstrikes against Islamic militants
in neighboring Libya.
The United Arab Emirates
pledges some $9 billion to Egypt
in September last year. But the
alleged audiotape aired on a
Brotherhood-allied TV station
Saturday was a potential embarrassment for el-Sissi.
