Foster City opts to study housing proposal


Sares Regis seeks to build townhomes instead of office space at Pilgrim Triton
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Despite hundreds of emails from Foster


City residents against the construction of
more housing units, the City Council
agreed to proceed with studying the impacts
of replacing long-approved office space
with new townhomes.
On Monday night, the City Council

reviewed developer Sares Regis proposal to


rezone its final phase of the Pilgrim Triton
Master Plan to construct up to 70 for-sale
residences instead of the previously authorized 17 units and 172,943 square feet of
commercial space.
Although the council previously heeded
residents pleas when previous property
owners sought to construct housing at
shopping centers or along with a new mari-

The only way to do that is to have current

Mayor Gary Pollard said. Theres merit to

The council voted 4-1, with Councilman


Herb Perez voting against the proposal, to
amend the plans for the 20-acre site slated
to boast nearly 800 residences off East
Hillsdale and Foster City boulevards.
Now, Sares Regis must come forward with

Pair pleads no contest to armed robberies


By Daniel Montes
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Two men who took part in a string of armed


robberies in San Mateo County in 2013
while wearing masks will serve prison time
after they both pleaded no contest to felony
robbery charges Monday in court, according
to the district attorney.
Judge Lisa Novak sentenced Joshua Faoa,
25, to seven years in state prison. Joachim
Piliote Maka, 24, was sentenced to eight
years in state prison, San Mateo County
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
In addition to the no contest plea, the pair
also admitted to using a firearm during the
incidents, Wagstaffe said.
According to prosecutors the two East
Palo Alto men, who also shared an apartment together, robbed multiple conven-

Belmont stabbing pleads not guilty
A man charged with fatally stabbing a man

Prosecutors
said
Timothy Andrew Guerra,

Denis
Meshchyshyn, 19, of
Timothy Guerra Belmont, on April 25
because he was upset over
a small amount of money he had given
Meshchyshyn.
According to the District Attorneys
Office, Guerra moved to Belmont in late
March and met the victim through mutual
friends. Guerra became angry when he gave
the victim $10 for a ride, but Meshchyshyn
never followed through.

2014.
On Oct. 17, 2013, Faoa, wearing a skeleton mask, and Maka, wearing a wolf mask,
entered a 7-Eleven store on Rollins Road in
Burlingame and, using a shotgun and pistol,
threatened to shoot the store clerk. The two
made off with $45, prosecutors said.
In another incident, on Oct. 20, 2013,
wearing the same clothing and masks, the
pair robbed the Oakwood Market in East Palo
Alto, with Maka firing his shotgun into a
store refrigerator. Prosecutors said Faoa and
Maka took $3,600 from the store.
On Jan. 25, prosecutors said police arrested the men after they were caught burglarizing a 7-Eleven store in Redwood City.
Police were able to obtain a search warrant
for Faoa and Makas apartment on Capitol
Avenue in East Palo Alto. There, police dis-

covered masks and clothing similar to the


ones worn by the two in the earlier robberies,
as well as shotgun shells, prosecutors said.
According to prosecutors, police also analyzed the twos cellphones and found Google
searches for the areas where the robberies
occurred.
Prosecutors said Maka and Faoa are tied to
an Oct. 13, 2013, armed robbery in Palo
Alto, and are facing charges related to that
crime in Santa Clara County.
The court granted Faoa 512 days credit for
time served and Maka 656 days credit for time
served. The court also ordered the two to pay
restitution fines, according to prosecutors.
We worked hard to resolve the case and
were happy we got a fair result, Makas
defense attorney Jeff Jackson said.
Faoas attorney was not immediately available for comment.

in full, before his sentencing date, Wagstaffe


said. Prosecutors said on Sept. 4, Teo
approached the victim, a 77-year-old man,
and told him he was looking for a particular
church, so that he could donate money in
honor of his father.
The victim agreed to drive Teo to the church
and Teo convinced the man to donate $7,000
to the church, prosecutors said.
The victim dropped off Teo at the church,
went to the ATM and withdrew $7,000. The
victim then drove back to the church and met
with Teo, prosecutors said.
When Teo suggested the victim hand him
the cash, the victim became suspicious of
Teo and refused to hand him the money,
according to prosecutors.
Teo grabbed the money out of the victims
hand and ran off. Teo then handed the money
to an unidentified accomplice who was waiting nearby, prosecutors said.
The victim was able to flag down a passing
police officer. The officer was able to locate
Teo and arrested him, prosecutors said.
Police were never able to apprehend the
unidentified accomplice and the stolen
money was never recovered, according to
prosecutors.

Ave., Guerra got a ride to the location and confronted the victim, prosecutors said. At about
7:30 p.m., Guerra stabbed Meshchyshyn several times in the abdomen and back, before
fleeing on foot, prosecutors said.
Meshchyshyn was transported to Stanford
Hospital, where he died about an hour later,
according to the District Attorneys Office.
Police arrested Guerra in Turlock April 29.
Guerra remains in custody with no bail set
and will appear in court again on July 9 to set
a preliminary hearing date, Wagstaffe said.
Guerras attorney was not immediately
available for comment on the case.

South City to increase massage rules


By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

South San Francisco officials are


considering beefing up regulations on
massage parlors, in an attempt to
quash the lawless culture that has
plagued the industry.
The citys Planning Commission
will hear a proposal during a meeting
Thursday, May 21, to consider implementing more restrictions on massage
parlors, such as increasing visibility
into reception areas from exterior windows, posting a menu of services and
prohibiting people from being at the
businesses between the hours of 11
p.m. and 6 a.m.
Should officials move forward with
the new proposed ordinance, the city
would join other cities in San Mateo
County such as Burlingame and
Belmont which have recently set
sights on regulating massage parlors.
South San Francisco Police Chief
Jeff Azzopardi said there have been no
complaints tied to the citys three massage parlors, but the proposed ordinance is a proactive effort to prevent
any issues that may occur.
We are just trying to be ahead of the
curve, and making sure our city is as
safe as possible and a comfortable
place for people to live and work, he
said.
Azzopardi said the effort is in keeping with recently passed state legislation, which offers cities greater
authority in regulating massage parlors.

Anti-Muslim film back up

The roughly 14-minute trailer for
Innocence of Muslims was posted by
a YouTube user on Tuesday. YouTube is
owned by Google.
Google declined comment.

Gov. Jerry Brown last year signed
Assembly Bill 1147 which gave local
governments the right to revoke the
license of massage parlors that violate
the law, and requires people seeking to
become certified massage practitioners
take 500 hours of training and pass and
test and background investigation.
Supporters of the law, which took
effect in January, said it will make it
harder for massage parlors to operate
as fronts for prostitution.
Azzopardi said the city is aware of
the rash of crimes that have been affiliated with massage parlors in other
cities and jurisdictions, which is why
South San Francisco is interested in
moving ahead with the effort to
increase regulation of the businesses.
This is really us deciding to be more
proactive and allowing us more control over the ordinance and massage
parlors, he said. Weve seen different
complaints and concerns in other
areas. We havent had those concerns
but we just want to stay on top of it and
be on the forefront.
Licensed massage therapists working with physicians, surgeons, chiropractors and other medical professionals or physical therapists will be
excluded from the citys new policy.

Hayes had hired Tichelman several

before the City Council for ultimate
approval at a yet to be determined date.
The recommendation coming before
the Planning Commission will also
alter the definition of massage parlors
in city code language, which would
allow officials to enact zoning ordinances to regulate the businesses.
The proposed changes should help
safeguard residents and support
healthy, orderly development in the
applicable zoning districts, according to a city report. Although massage businesses will remain conditionally permitted in limited areas of the
city, the new definition and revised
performance standards will apply and
address a wide array of issues that could
otherwise collectively reduce the overall quality of life in South San
Francisco.
The citys current policy does not
allow one massage parlor to open
within 500 feet of another, to avoid
overconcentration of the businesses,
according to the report.
Azzopardi said the new ordinance
will require massage parlors to get a
license from the police department
before opening for business.
He said the opportunity for increased
enforcement serves the departments
goal of increasing its involvement

House bill would cap expenses for ex-presidents


By Matthew Daly

Taxpayers should not have to pay for a


former presidents allowance if the former
president is making a comfortable living earning
more than $400,000 a year after leaving office.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Bill Clinton, George


W. Bush and other former presidents who
earn lucrative speaking fees and draw other
income would no longer be able to count on
taxpayer dollars to pay for their post-White
House office space and staff under a bill in
the House.
On a voice vote, the House Oversight
panel backed a measure Tuesday to limit taxpayer dollars for expenses, including travel, incurred by ex-presidents who earn more
than $400,000 a year.
U.S. taxpayers paid a total of $3.5 million last year in pensions and benefits to
the four living former presidents, including
$1.3 million for Bush and $950,000 for
Clinton, according to a report by the
Congressional Research Service. Most of
that money was for sprawling office space
in Dallas and New York, respectively.
Both Clinton and Bush, like other expresidents before them, have earned millions in speaking fees since leaving office.
The oversight committee acted just days
after Hillary Rodham Clinton reported that
she and her husband earned more than $30
million combined in speaking fees and
book royalties since January 2014. The
earnings put the couple in the top one-10th

Rep. Elijah Cummings

of 1 percent of all Americans.


The House bill would set presidential pensions at $200,000 a year, nearly the same
as the current amount, with an additional
$200,000 set aside for office space and
other expenses. The bill would reduce
expense payments by $1 for every dollar
above $400,000 earned by a former president.
Under the legislation, ex-presidents who
earn more than $600,000 a year would not
receive federal funds for office expenses or
travel. Presidential pensions would not be
affected by the amount of income earned.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of
the House Oversight panel and a co-sponsor
of the bill, said it was not aimed at anyone,
but was a simple matter of fairness.
History shows that former presidents do
very well financially after they leave
office, Chaffetz said in a statement before
Tuesdays vote. In fact all former presidents are millionaires, making it unlikely
that they depend upon their taxpayer-funded

allowance to make ends meet.


Chaffetz, who has introduced similar bills
in the past two sessions of Congress,
missed Tuesdays vote because of an emergency operation to remove his gall bladder.
Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the
senior Democrat on the panel, co-sponsored the latest measure with Chaffetz.
Taxpayers should not have to pay for a
former presidents allowance if the former
president is making a comfortable living
earning more than $400,000 a year after
leaving office, Cummings said.
The report by the Congressional
Research Service said taxpayers paid more
than $420,000 last year for Bushs 8,237square-feet office in Dallas. Clintons
8,300-square-feet space in New York cost
nearly $415,000.
Taxpayers also shelled out nearly
$180,000 for office space in Houston for
George H.W. Bush and $109,000 for work
space in Atlanta for Jimmy Carter.
Carter, who left office in 1981, received a

total of $470,000 in pensions and benefits


last year, while George H.W. Bush received
$837,000. He left office in 1989.
The totals do not include money spent by
the Secret Service to protect the former
presidents and their families. The House
bill would not affect Secret Service protection.
Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., called the
bill a very good bill, a very necessary bill,
given what weve seen going on here.
Grothman said it was important to reduce
federal payments to ex-presidents as the
income of those trading on their office
increased.
Hopefully it will restore some dignity to
the office of ex-president, Grothman said.
Hillary Clintons presidential campaign
reported Friday that the couple amassed
more than $25 million in speaking fees and
that Hillary Clinton earned more than $5
million from her 2014 memoir, Hard
Choices.
Bush has earned at least $15 million for
more than 140 paid speeches since he left
office in 2009.
The Former Presidents Act was passed in
1958 after Congress learned of financial
difficulties faced by Harry Truman, who left
office in 1953. Truman complained that it
cost him $30,000 a year to reply to letters
and requests for speeches, the report said.

Clinton urges State Department to speed release of emails


By Julie Pace and Lisa Lerer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa Hillary Rodham


Clinton urged the State Department on
Tuesday to speed the release of 55,000
pages of emails from her time as secretary
of state, as her decision to spurn administration rules and use a private email address
continued to dog her presidential campaign.
I want those emails out, Clinton said at
a campaign event in Iowa.
Clintons comments came shortly after a
federal judge rejected a State Department
proposal to release the emails by next
January. The judge instead ordered the

agency to conduct a
rolling production of
the records in the meantime.
That all but guarantees
a slow drip of revelations
from the emails throughout Clintons primary
campaign, complicating
Hillary Clinton her efforts to put the
issue to rest. The
agencys original plan would have set the
release date just a few weeks before the Iowa
caucuses and New Hampshire primary.
In an Associated Press-GfK poll released
earlier this month, six in ten voters said the
word honest describes Clinton only

slightly well or not well at all. And the continuing stories about her use of a private
email account run from a server at her New
York home while in government have
enabled Republicans to work at feeding perceptions she had things to hide.
If Clinton wanted all of her emails to be
public, she wouldnt have created her own
server in the first place, said Allison
Moore, a spokeswoman for the Republican
National Committee.
Clinton, the front-runner for the
Democratic presidential nomination, said
Tuesday she wanted the documents to be
released as soon as possible.
Nobody has a bigger interest in getting
them released than I do, she said.

Asked if she would demand their release,


Clinton said of the emails, Theyre not
mine. They belong to the State
Department.
Clinton turned her emails over to the
State Department last year, nearly two years
after leaving the Obama administration.
Despite administration rules requiring officials to conduct business using their government email addresses, Clinton communicated exclusively via a personal email
account run on a private server.
She has said she got rid of about 30,000
emails she deemed exclusively personal.
Only she and perhaps a small circle of
advisers know the content of the discarded
communications.

Baltimore prosecutor disputes


conflict of interest allegations
By Juliet Linderman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BALTIMORE Baltimores top prosecutor has filed a blistering response to conflict


of interest allegations raised by lawyers for
six police officers charged in the death of
Freddie Gray.
The defense lawyers asked that a judge
replace States Attorney Marilyn Mosby
with an independent prosecutor to handle
the case. They accused her of charging the
officers with baseless crimes to prevent
more rioting in the district represented by
her husband, a city councilman. And they
say shes too close to an attorney for Grays
family.
Mosbys response, made available on
REUTERS Tuesday, describes the officers motion as

No video to help Amtrak probe,


despite NTSB recommendation
By Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Five years ago, federal


accident investigators recommended that the
government require video cameras in locomotive cabs to record engineers actions.
But it didnt happen. Now, thats left a gap in
unraveling last weeks fatal Amtrak derailment.
Its an old story for the National
Transportation Safety Board. Accidents
occur, people die and there is a clamor for
action. Later, when attention moves elsewhere, recommendations frequently lag for
years. Some are never realized.
In the Amtrak crash, the train was equipped
with a black box data recorder and a camera
focused on the track ahead. Information from
those devices shows that in the last minute
before the crash the train accelerated rapidly,
reaching 106 miles per hour just before
entering a curve where the speed limit was
50. Maximum braking power was applied in
the last few seconds, but it was too late.
The train derailed, leaving eight people
dead, about 200 injured and a mangled mess
of rail cars. Amtrak service between
Philadelphia and New York didnt resume
until Monday.
What investigators would like to know is
why the train accelerated. Was it a deliberate
act by the engineer? An accident? Or was
there some other reason?

Questions have arisen whether the Amtrak


locomotive was hit by a projectile of some
kind as it passed through Philadelphia. An
engineer for a local commuter railroad
reported being hit by something shortly
before the crash, and a conductor on the
Amtrak train has told investigators she
heard the Amtrak engineer, Brandon
Bostian, say over a radio that their train had
been hit as well.
NTSB said Monday that the FBI has concluded no bullet struck the train, and the
board is uncertain whether it was hit by anything.
Bostian, who suffered a head injury in the
crash, has told investigators he cant remember anything after leaving Philadelphias
30th Street station, the last stop before the
derailment, until after the crash.
Its exactly the kind of circumstance that
the NTSBs recommendation for inward-facing video and sound cameras was supposed to
address, says Jim Hall, who was the boards
chairman in the 1990s. Its not unusual for
engineers to be killed in train crashes, or to
be seriously injured and not remember
details clearly.
To not have all the investigative tools
when people have lost their lives in order to
understand what occurred and to prevent it
from recurring is a travesty, Hall said. The
black box can tell us what the controls did,
but we dont know exactly what the operator
did.

grand jury and potential


petit jury pool, the
motion is absurd, wrote
Mosbys chief deputy,
Michael Schatzow.
The defense argued that
Mosby hastily charged
the officers to quash
protests that gave way to
in
West
Marilyn Mosby violence
Baltimore, where Gray
was arrested and where Mosbys husband,
Nick Mosby, is a city councilman. Gray ran
from police before his arrest on April 12, and
died a week later of a spinal injury he suffered
before he arrived at the police station. The
unrest began after days of peaceful protests.
Schatzow dismissed this defense claim as
a truly breathtaking non-sequitur. The
defendants offer nothing beyond speculation as to why the Mosbys would be any
different than any other law-abiding
Baltimore resident in seeking peace and an
end to violence, he wrote.

The procedure is simple and may take less than 60 minutes. In

Glazer leads Bonilla for state


Senate seat in S.F. Bay Area
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MARTINEZ Steve Glazer had a significant lead Tuesday night over Susan Bonilla
in a special election race between two
Democrats for a state Senate seat representing the east San Francisco Bay Area.
With about 90,000 votes counted after
polls closed in Contra Costa and Alameda
counties, Glazer leads Bonilla 54 percent to
46 percent for the Senate District 7 seat.
The heated race pitted Glazer, a longtime
adviser to Gov. Jerry Brown and current
mayor of Orinda, against Bonilla, an assemblywoman from Concord.
The contest drew lots of attention and
money $7 million in spending. Much of
the money has come from outside groups
that have set up their own committees to
fund attack mailers and TV commercials on
both sides.
The candidates have positioned themselves as moderate Democrats in the mold of
Brown, who has not endorsed either of
them.
Bonilla has the endorsement of the
California Democratic Party. Glazer, meanwhile, appealed to the nearly 29 percent of
voters in the district who are Republican and

the 22 percent who are independents.


Democrats have nearly 44 percent registration.
With so much attention on the race,
turnout was expected to be slightly higher
than the 23 percent who voted in the primary, with 85 percent of those ballots cast
by mail. The votes counted so far Tuesday
night were mostly mail-in votes, and the
turnout at the polls was not yet known.
Both Democrats and Republicans are
turning out at higher numbers than they
did in the primary. Independents are also
turning out, said Paul Mitchell of
Political Data Inc., which is monitoring
ballot returns in the race. Such a large
preponderance of the votes are coming
from the vote-by-mail ballots, it would
take a significantly different poll turnout
to change the outcome.
He said the strong GOP turnout so far contradicts some earlier projections that
Republicans would sit out the election
between two Democrats.
The candidates are vying to replace Mark
DeSaulnier, who was elected to Congress.
Whoever wins will have to run again next
year when the seat comes up for re-election.

President proposes
more land to feed
bees to fight decline
By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama


administration hopes to save the
bees by feeding them better.
A new federal plan aims to
reverse Americas declining honeybee and monarch butterfly populations by making millions of
acres of federal land more beefriendly, spending millions of
dollars more on research and considering the use of fewer pesticides.
While putting different type of
landscapes along highways, federal housing projects and elsewhere
may not sound like much in terms
of action, several bee scientists
told the Associated Press that this
a huge move. They say it may help
pollinators that are starving
because so much of the American
landscape has been converted to
lawns and corn that dont provide
foraging areas for bees.
This is the first time Ive seen
addressed the issue that theres
nothing for pollinators to eat,
said University of Illinois entomologist May Berenbaum, who
buttonholed President Barack

Obama about bees when she


received her National Medal of
Science award last November. I
think its brilliant.
Environmental activists who
wanted a ban on a much-criticized
class of pesticide said the Obama
administrations bee strategy falls
way short of whats needed to save
the hives.
Scientists say bees crucial to
pollinate many crops have
been hurt by a combination of
declining nutrition, mites, disease
and pesticides. The federal plan is
an all hands on deck strategy
that calls on everyone from federal bureaucrats to citizens to do
what they can to save bees, which
provide more than $15 billion in
value to the U. S. economy,
according to White House science
adviser John Holdren.
Pollinators are struggling,
Holdren said in a blog post, citing
a new federal survey that found
beekeepers lost more than 40 percent of their colonies last year,
although they later recovered by
dividing surviving hives. He also
said the number of monarch butterflies that spend the winter in
Mexicos forests is down by 90
percent or more over the past two

Scientists say bees crucial to pollinate many crops have been hurt by a combination of declining nutrition,
mites, disease and pesticides.
decades, so the U.S. government
is working with Mexico to expand
monarch habitat in the southern
part of that country.
The plan calls for restoring 7
million acres of bee habitat in the
next five years. Numerous federal
agencies will have to find ways to
grow plants on federal lands that
are more varied and better for bees
to eat because scientists have worried that large land tracts that grow
only one crop have hurt bee nutrition.

The plan is not just for the


Department of Interior, which has
vast areas of land under its control. Agencies that wouldnt normally be thought of, such as
Housing and Urban Development
and
the
Department
of
Transportation, will have to
include bee-friendly landscaping
on their properties and in grantmaking.
That part of the bee plan got
praise from scientists who study
bees.

Here, we can do a lot for bees,


and other pollinators, University
of Maryland entomology professor Dennis van Englesdorp, who
led the federal bee study that found
last years large loss. This I
think is something to get excited
and hopeful about. There is really
only one hope for bees and its to
make sure they spend a good part
of the year in safe healthy environments. The apparent scarcity
of these areas is whats worrying.
This could change that.

Obama, Senate GOP work together on trade bill


By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama


administration
and
Senate
Republicans worked in unusual
harmony Tuesday to advance
major trade legislation opposed
by many rank-and-file Democrats,
an expanding struggle already
leaving a mark on the 2016 campaigns for the White House and
control of Congress.
In rapid-fire order, the administration threatened to veto a proposed change in the trade bill to

require
U. S.
negotiators to
target currency
man i p ul at i o n
more directly in
trade talks, and
S e n a t e
R e p ub l i c a n
leader
Mitch
Barack Obama McConnell said
the GOP was
prepared to vote down the amendment.
Well be working hard to keep
any amendment off the bill that
could tank it, he said of the pro-

posal, backed by Sens. Rob


Portman,
R-Ohio,
Debbie
Stabenow, D-Mich., and others.
McConnell, R-Ky., is one of
Obamas fiercest critics in
Congress, and his comment underscored the unusual political lines
created by a bill to let the president negotiate global trade deals
that Congress could approve or
reject, but not change. The White
House
and
pro-business
Republicans support the measure,
while union-backed Democrats
oppose it.
Portman, who once served as
Pres i den t
George
W.
Bushs special

trade representative, is also a likely supporter of the bill. At the


same time, he faces a competitive
re-election campaign in his
Midwestern political swing state
next year, and has played a central
role in efforts to make the legislation require American negotiators
to give higher importance to combatting currency manipulation by
other countries.
The division has spilled over
into the 2016 race for the White
House, as well. Former Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham Clinton,
whose husband negotiated the
North American Free Trade
Agreement when he sat in the
White House, stubbornly refused

Tuesday to say if she favored or


opposed the legislation to give
Obama the authority to conclude
similar deals.
I want to judge the final agreement, she told reporters as she
campaigned in Iowa, and said her
concerns include any deals impact
on jobs, wages and economic
expansion in the United States.
Her statement mirrors the apprehensions of many Democrats in
Congress, who soon wont have
the luxury of declining to state a
position. They complain that
they are being asked to trust
Obama to conclude a trade deal
they havent seen and wouldnt
be able to change once they do.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Look at positive budget in its context

hile it is easy to applaud a


budget that has more
money than expected, two
key points popped out of Gov. Jerry
Browns May budget revision released
last week. One was that general fund
spending to K-12 schools was
increased by $5.5 billion, the other
was that an additional $633 million
was set aside in the rainy-day fund
with an additional $633 million to be
used to pay down debts and liabilities.
Both are required by state propositions. The rst is Proposition 98,
which requires the state to set aside a
portion of its budget for education.
The other is Proposition 2, which
requires the state to set aside a portion
of its budget surplus toward a reserve
and the states ever-growing wall of
debt.
That very wall of debt gets little
attention in this state budget. In fact,
state retiree health liabilities; state
employee pensions; teacher pensions; judges pensions; deferred payments to CalPERS, the states retirement system; and University of
California retirement liabilities,
including pensions and retiree health
get nothing in the governors original January budget and his May revision.

Editorial
Granted, an additional $3,000 per
student in funding going to K-14 is
good news for all, this budget by no
means addresses the states more than
$200 billion total liabilities. While
Brown has fully adopted his new role
as duciary pinchst, with an emphasis on no new programs, the state
budget is now in the hands of the
Legislature, which will surely seek
some way to squeeze out some of the
states $169 billion budget, with revenue that has surged by $6.7 billion
since January, into new programs.
Brown tried to salve that desire in
part by creating a tax credit plan for
those who make less than $13,870
with a family of three or more dependents. The idea is to provide something for those who are on the bottom
rung of the states nancial ladder
while not spending too much. Income
inequality is a truism for many in the
Legislature and it is just a matter of
time before the calls for more become
louder.
Still, it is important to note a couple of things. First, a year of positive
cash ow does not a solvent state
make. Second, we are still contending

with years of pushing off unfunded


liabilities that continue to grow,
despite the stock markets recent rise
and its positive inuence on retirement funds. Third, just because a few
hundred million dollars get shoveled
into a rainy-day fund doesnt mean we
are heading steadily along the right
track. Its a step in the right direction, but not the panacea.
These three things are tied directly
to an economy that is entirely too
reliant on the ebbs and ows of capital gains and high-wage earners. As
everyone should know, we are on
large stock market correction away
from a drastic change in that ow.
Putting money away when revenue
surges should be the regular course of
budgeting, and not just what is
required by a state proposition.
Starting new programs is not the best
course at least until our unfunded liability is so massive and growing.
Additionally, that half-cent sales tax
that adds about $6 billion to our budget is set to sunset.
It is easy to cheer when revenue is
strong and there are not cuts to education. But its also important to consider the larger context of the current
budget, its past challenges and its
future peril.

Reminiscing with
the Daily Journal

pril showers bring May owers? etc. I


thought that surely after our intrepid editor
Jon transformed his front lawn with droughtresistant plants (May 8) that the rains would come. But here
it is May 20 and we in Millbrae have seen only a little drizzle. Jons account has brought back memories and evoked
concern.
By the middle of May, Ive always reveled in the beauty
and color of my garden the roses, impatiens, gerbera
daisies, nasturtiums. The green beans I have always planted
in early April would be climbing the poles by now. The zucchini and pumpkin plants would be reaching out for the
wide open spaces. The apricot tree would have bloomed.
But not this year.
During the drought in the
70s, I would carry buckets
of washing machine rinse
water out to the vegetables,
but Im not able to do that
any more. The lawn in front
has turned a dull shade of
greenish-brown punctuated by gopher mounds. Even
so, we keep it neat.
Lately, when driving
through residential areas,
Ive noticed that some live
lawns have remained very
green and verdant. Makes
you wonder what goes
through the minds of the people who live there. Trying to
give them the benet of the doubt, you wonder if theyve
cut back on their water use in some other way (like showering once a week) to justify such greenery. Sure!
What is proposed by some water districts, is that consumers be given a month-by-month water allocation based
on the average amount used in 2013. Consumers would be
required to reduce their water usage by 30 percent from that
average. But wouldnt it be better to designate a certain
number of gallons per person per household? Wouldnt that
be more fair for everyone? Those who always prudently use
water would be at an unfair disadvantage. Water wasters
would get a break. Too much to ask?
As we anxiously search the sky for storm clouds and the
predicted storms veer off to the north and south of us as
they did on May 7 and 14, we wonder just how much climate change will affect us, how dry it will get before we get
a substantial amount of rain, and how long the water shortage will last. Scary!
On to other items: Anyone who reads my columns would
know that I was drawn to the May 12 guest perspective by
Debra Shapiro, MD, Changing Womens Health One Plate
at a Time. Research shows that the majority of what
Americans eat today is generally unhealthy. She promotes
a more vegetarian diet which Im sure would be good for
men, too. Maybe she had read the report in the May 6 Daily
Journal describing the demise at age 47 of food critic Josh
Ozersky, whose witty and snarky writing generally
focused on his obsession with all things meat. He was as
passionate about meat as any renowned butcher, we read. Is
there a message here?
Shapiro also reminds us that one way that we can help
save more water that we havent heard much about is to
reduce our meat and dairy consumption. This would not
only conserve water, but protect the environment from our
largely unregulated animal-raising practices that wallow in
it. For instance, it takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce
1 pound of beef. Also, it is reported that 50 percent of the
United States main land mass is used for animal agriculture
which includes the alfalfa, corn, etc. that they are fed.
California listening?
On May 9, the picture and feature about the superb softball pitcher, Lauren Berriatua of the College of San Mateo,
brought back fond memories from long ago when I played
on a fast-pitch softball team in Southern California called
the Orange Lionettes. We won a lot of games because we
had a super pitcher like Lauren and even once or twice
won the So Cal Championship. Now our 9-year-old granddaughter is carrying on the tradition as she shines as a
member of a baseball team in San Francisco. Super!
On May 4, I was particularly drawn to the article: City
outlaws discrimination against atheists, non-religious.
Apparently, Madison, Wisconsin, is an island of liberalism in a conservative-leaning state and the home of
Freedom from Religion Foundation. The ordinances
author is quoted: It just seems to me that religion has
spread into government more than I feel comfortable with.
It just occurred to me that religion is protected, non-religion should be, too. Amen!
We can read many informative and interesting things in
every issue of the Daily Journal. The above were just a few
that caught my attention. Thanks, Jon and staff, for all of
your efforts in publishing our favorite newspaper. What
would we do without you?

NEW YORK The stock market


slipped back from its latest record
high in a listless day of trading
Tuesday. Oil companies and drillers
tugged major indexes down as the price
of crude oil dropped for a fifth day
straight.
Wal-Mart Stores fell after reporting
weak sales and a drop in quarterly earnings, a result of raises for workers and
a rising dollar squeezing its profits.
Wal-Marts stock sank $3.49, or 4 percent, to $76.43.
Major indexes headed lower at the
opening of trading, wavered between
tiny gains and losses throughout the
morning then spent much of the afternoon sitting still.
The Standard & Poors 500 index has
gained 2 percent this month, setting
record highs along the way. But it
hasnt felt like it, said Hank Smith,
chief investment officer at Haverford
Trust. The market pulls back slightly
one day, then moves ahead. It has been
a grind.
The S&P 500 lost 1.37 points, a
sliver of a percent, to 2,127.83. The
Nasdaq composite dipped 8.41 points,
or 0.2 percent, to 5,070.03.
The Dow Jones industrial average
managed a slight gain, edging up

13. 51 points, or 0. 1 percent, to


18,312.39. That marked the fourth
straight daily gain for the Dow.
The government reported that
builders started work on new houses at
the fastest pace in seven years.
Housing starts jumped 20.2 percent to
an annual rate of 1.14 million homes,
the fastest clip since November 2007.
The news helped lift shares in D.R.
Horton, PulteGroup and other builders.
The housing market comes back in
the spring, is what realtors always say,
and boy is this true today, said
Christopher Rupkey, chief financial
economist at MUFG Union Bank, in a
note to clients.
In
other
trading,
Take-Two
Interactive, the company behind the
Grand Theft Auto video games,
surged 18 percent after posting earnings that trounced analysts estimates.
The companys stock jumped $4.42 to
$28.62.
Major indexes in Europe closed with
solid gains. Germanys DAX surged
2.2 percent, while Frances CAC 40
picked up 2.1 percent. Britains FTSE
100 rose 0.4 percent.
The rally in Europe came after an
official with the European Central
Bank said that it would step up its
bond-buying program in May and June
to avoid slow trading in the summer
months. The ECBs effort tends to sup-

Shoppers could soon have harder


time finding some red meats origin
By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Shoppers could


soon have a harder time finding out
where some of their red meat comes
from.
The World Trade Organization ruled
Monday that U.S. country of origin
labels on certain cuts of red meat put
Canadian and Mexican livestock at a
disadvantage, rejecting a U.S. appeal
after a similar WTO decision last year.
The current labels on packages of
steaks and some other meats say
where the animals were born, raised
and slaughtered.
The Obama administration has
already revised the labels once to try
to comply with previous WTO rulings
in favor of Canada and Mexico. Now
that the revised labels have also been
struck down, Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack says Congress will have
to change the law to avoid retaliation
such as extra tariffs from the two
neighbor countries.

Congress has got to fix this problem, Vilsack said after the decision.
They either have to repeal (country
of origin labeling) or modify and
amend it.
Though the ruling went against the
U.S., its a victory for the U.S. meat
industry, which has said the labels are
costly because of segregation of livestock and record keeping. After the
decision, meat processors quickly
called for a full repeal of the labeling
laws.
Canada and Mexico issued a joint
statement also calling on the United
States to repeal the labeling rules.
The two countries said they will seek
authorization from the WTO to take
retaliatory measures against U. S.
exports.
The joint statement of Canadian and
Mexican agriculture and trade officials said the rules cause Canadian and
Mexican livestock and meat to be
segregated from those of U.S. origin
a costly process that has forced
some U.S. companies to stop buying

exports. The labeling is damaging to


North Americas supply chain and is
harmful to producers and processors
in all three countries, the officials
said.
The two countries said they would
continue to work closely on the
issue with the United States.
The National Farmers Union, a farm
group that has backed the country of
origin labels, said negotiations
would be better than congressional
intervention.
As we have seen in other disputes,
once decisions are handed down, WTO
members often work together to find a
solution that will work for them,
said National Farmers Union
President Roger Johnson. In this
case, such a solution must involve
continuation of a meaningful country-of-origin labeling requirement.
Congress required the labels in
2002 and 2008 farm laws, mostly at
the behest of ranchers in the northern
United States who compete with the
Canadian cattle industry.

Monday.
In other commodity markets, precious and industrial metals took a hard
fall. Gold dropped $20.90 to settle at
$1,206.70 an ounce and silver sank 66
cents to $17.07 an ounce. Copper lost
7 cents to $2.84 a pound.
The price of oil fell sharply Tuesday,
extending its slide for a fifth day in a
row. A rising dollar made oil, which is
priced in dollars, more expensive for
overseas buyers. Benchmark U. S.
crude fell $2.17 to close at $57.26 a
barrel in New York. Brent crude, a
benchmark for international oil used
by many U.S. refineries, fell $2.25 to
close at $64.02 in London.

Business briefs
Wal-Mart 1Q profit falls on pay raises
NEW YORK Wal-Mart Stores Inc. reported a 7 percent
drop in first-quarter profit as the strong dollar and some
efforts to improve its business hurt its bottom line.
The company said Tuesday that higher worker wages and
increased spending on its online operations were among
the reasons its results missed Wall Street estimates. On the
news, investors sent the companys shares down more 4
percent.
Greg Foran, who had been president and CEO of Wal-Mart
Asia and took over Wal-Marts U.S. business last summer,
asked for investor patience.
Were not interested in reaching our goals, but reaching
them in a way which is sustainable for the long term,
Foran said in a pre-recorded call. This requires a steady execution, a pace that is fast but calculated, and one that allows
us to get it right.
Analysts were expecting $1.04 per share and revenue of
$116.27 billion, according to Zacks Investment Research.
Wal-Mart expected earnings per share for the current quarter to be in the range of $1.06 to $1.18 per share. Analysts
expected $1.17 per share, according to FactSet.
Shares fell $3.49 to close at $76.43 on Wednesday.

Takata air bag recall doubles to nearly 34 million


WASHINGTON Under pressure from U.S. safety regulators, Takata Corp. has agreed to declare 33.8 million air
bags defective, a move that will double the number of cars
and trucks included in what is now the largest auto recall in
U.S. history.
The chemical that inflates the air bags can explode with
too much force, blowing apart a metal inflator and sending
shrapnel into the passenger compartment. The faulty inflators are responsible for six deaths and more than 100
injuries worldwide.
The agreement adds more than 18 million air bags to
existing recalls, covering both the passenger and drivers
side. The recalls of passenger-side air bags, previously limited to high-humidity states along the Gulf Coast, are now
expanded nationwide by 10.2 million vehicles. A nationwide recall of drivers side air bags was expanded to include
an additional 7.9 million vehicles.
We know that owners are worried about their safety and
the safety of their families, said Mark Rosekind, head of
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as he
announced the agreement. This is probably the most complex consumer safety recall in U.S. history.

Mills softball has pieces to reach goal


week in a non-league game against
Redwood-Larkspur, losing 8-6. The Giants
are one of the top teams in the North Coast
Section and sport a 23-1 overall record.
Theyre the real deal, Ynostroza said.
Despite losing, Mills was encouraged by
the way they played against an elite-level
team.
With the Redwood game, the fact we only
lost by two runs really boosted our confidence, said Mills catcher Gabriella
Zucchiatti, who named the Ocean Division
Player of the Year.

The pressure now ratchets up. As the No. 5


seed, Mills (18-4) will be the favorite to
beat No. 12 Pinewood (10-12).
The Vikings, however, dont believe its
more pressure than any other game.
Im excited about it, but its going to be
nerve-racking, said Businger, who was a
first-team All-Ocean selection. Theres
always pressure. Even before a regular-season game.
One thing that should calm the Vikings
nerves is the fact that they can score runs

The Mills softball team had one major


goal this year to return to the Central
Coast Section playoffs. Last year, the
Vikings captured the Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division title to advance to
CCS for the first time since 1999.
But therein lies the rub.
We knew we had to win league to get into
CCS, said Mills shortstop Aubrie
Businger. But I didnt think wed go unde-

feated in [league play].


The Vikings did just that, going 12-0 and
outscoring their league opponents 131-17.
More importantly, however, was the way
the Vikings played against non-league
opponents and its those games that coach
Dana Ynostroza believes best prepared his
team for the playoffs.

Down 16 in 2nd quarter, Golden State rallies for lead, holds off Houston
By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Down big at home, the


Golden State Warriors went small.
It turned out to make a huge difference.
Stephen Curry hit two free throws in the
nal seconds to nish with 34 points, and
the Warriors rallied from a 16-point decit
in the second quarter to beat the Houston
Rockets 110-106 on Tuesday night in Game
1 of the Western Conference nals.
With the Rockets seemingly ready to rout
the home team, the Warriors used a smaller
lineup featuring Draymond Green at center
and closed the rst half on a 21-4 run. Shaun
Livingston scored 14 of his 18 points in the
quarter, helping Golden State go ahead 5855 at halftime. The Warriors had to hold off
Houston in the fourth quarter.
It really stretches people out, Warriors
coach Steve Kerr said of his lineup full of
shooters. Houston does the same thing. It
was an interesting chess match, because
they like to go small and we like to go
small.
James Harden, the runner-up to Curry in
the MVP voting, nearly brought the
Rockets back after Dwight Howard departed
with a left knee injury which also allowed
Golden State to go small again in the closing minutes. Harden nished with 28
points, 11 rebounds, nine assists and four
steals.
Game 2 is Thursday night in Oakland, and
Rockets coach Kevin McHale said he had no
update on the centers status moving forward.
Hopefully Dwight is healthy and we can
play big, McHale said. We didnt have that
option with Dwight out.
Harden, serenaded with chants of Overrated! from Warriors fans, mixed in a series
of step-back jumpers and driving layups to
help Houston even the score at 95-all midway through the fourth.
But the Warriors shut down Houston for
long stretches, and Curry kept hitting

T-wolves win draft lottery, Lakers move to No. 2


By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The Minnesota


Timberwolves too often came to the NBA
draft lottery and left in worse shape than
they arrived.
And when they finally ended years of lottery futility, it came from the spot where
nobody had been winning.
The Timberwolves won the lottery Tuesday
night, the first time since 2004 the team
with the worst record earned the No. 1 pick.
After years of bad luck, things finally
worked out for the Wolves, who can perhaps
choose between big men Karl-Anthony
Towns of Kentucky and Jahlil Okafor of
national champion Duke to put next to
Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins.
Were in this for big stakes, said Flip
Saunders, the Wolves president and coach.
The big thing about this is getting good
talent that can blend together. This is
another big step.
The Los Angeles Lakers moved from the
fourth spot to second, keeping a pick they
would have sent to Philadelphia if it fell
outside the top five. The 76ers are third followed by the New York Knicks, who had the
second-best odds of winning but instead
fell to fourth 30 years after winning the
first lottery and drafting Hall of Famer
Patrick Ewing.
Not since Orlando won the right to pick
Dwight Howard in 2004 had the NBAs ultimate game of chance came out in favor of the

People say you have a 25 percent to win but I always look at it that
theres a 75 percent chance that someone else is going to win. I just
feel very honored that we have the chance to be in this position.
Glen Taylor, owner Minnesota Timberwolves

team with the best odds. The Timberwolves


had a 25 percent chance of landing the top
pick after finishing 16-66.
But their fans knew not to get their hopes
up after the Wolves had fallen backward
eight times previously, including both
times they were in the pole position. A
chance at Shaquille ONeal turned into
Christian Laettner in 1992, and they fell one
spot in 2011 to miss out on Kyrie Irving.
Today was very nerve wracking. I really
didnt anticipate that it would go this way,
owner Glen Taylor said. People say you
have a 25 percent to win but I always look at
it that theres a 75 percent chance that someone else is going to win. I just feel very honored that we have the chance to be in this
position.
Several hundred fans gathered to watch on
the big screen at Target Center in
Minneapolis and erupted when the Lakers
card came out of the envelope for No. 2,
meaning Minnesota had finally earned the
top pick for the first time.
The Lakers were the other big winners
even without moving all the way to the top.
Their pick was only protected in the top five
as a condition of their trade with Phoenix for

Steve Nash in 2012. That was dealt this season to the 76ers, who could have ended up
with two top-six picks if the Lakers had fallen backward two spots.
I told our guys earlier today that I had a
real good feeling about tonight, Lakers
coach Byron Scott said. I hope not to be
back here anytime soon, but Im happy the
way things turned out tonight.
So was superstar Kobe Bryant, who ended
his tweet after seeing the results with (hash)
lakerluck and (hash) goodday.
The lottery sets the top three picks. The
remainder of the 14 non-playoff teams follow in inverse order of their won-loss
record.
Things went according to form until the
Knicks slid. General manager Steve Mills
hoped history could repeat by wearing Dave
DeBusscheres
Naismith
Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame ring, which
DeBusschere was wearing as the Knicks GM
when they won the 1985 lottery.
Obviously, we would have liked to
receive a higher pick but we went into this
knowing that anywhere between one and
five we were going to get a good pick,
Mills said.

The lottery began 30 years ago as a way to


discourage teams from losing on purpose as
a way to secure the top pick. Tanking may
still exist the 76ers have appeared to be
angling for the draft with no regard for their
record the last couple of seasons but the
Wolves appeared to lose honestly while battling numerous injuries with a young roster.
Their victory, with Taylor on stage, was
only the fifth time the team that finished
with the worst, or tied for the worst record,
won the lottery.
Saunders, who got emotional talking

2010. They drafted Wiggins last year but
dealt him, along with 2013 No. 1 Anthony
Bennett, to the Wolves in the deal for Kevin

With James back home, the Cavaliers are

With one out, Lawrie doubled to center, and

offseason workouts
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA When the Oakland Raiders


took the field for the start of their first fullteam practice since the NFL draft, there was
one notable spectator.
Quarterback Derek Carr spent much of
Tuesdays organized team activity on the
sideline running plays in his mind instead
of on the field as he deals with an undisclosed injury.
Coach Jack Del Rio says it is his policy
not to discuss injuries in the offseason and
he would only say that Carr is one of a handful of players who could not take part in the
practice.
We dont get into who has what and why
and different timetables, Del Rio said. I
dont get into that stuff this time of year.
Were not going to sit here and play that
game.
Carr did take the field last month for a voluntary minicamp and has been with the team
for the entire offseason program learning
the new offense under coordinator Bill
Musgrave.
He did not get the chance to practice with
the teams top draft pick, receiver Amari
Cooper, for the first time. But Del Rio did
not seem concerned.
Time missed in May is better than time
missed in September, for sure, he said. In
fact, youre often capable of taking whatever time is necessary just to make sure you
put things behind you. A little more cautious this time of year.
Del Rio also did not seem concerned that

practice time missed at


this time of year would
slow Carrs development
or knowledge of the new
up-tempo offense.
Were just plodding
ahead installing and
working and doing what
we can with the guys that
are available, Del Rio
Derek Carr
said. The guys that
arent, are working their best mentally
through the process and taking all the mental reps they can.
Carr started all 16 games in his rookie
season and is being counted on to solidify
the revolving door at quarterback that has
plagued Oakland for the past decade.
Carr was the 18th quarterback to start for
Oakland since the beginning of 2003, but
became the first to go all 16 games since
Rich Gannon did it in 2002 when the
Raiders made the Super Bowl.
Carr had good and bad moments during a
three-win season for Oakland. He became
the seventh rookie quarterback to throw for
at least 3,000 yards and 20 touchdown passes in a season and looked comfortable in the
pocket.
He also struggled at times against the
blitz and was unable to get the ball downfield consistently, in part because of the
lack of a game-breaking receiver.
His 5.46 yards per attempt were the lowest in the NFL and the second-worst mark
ever posted by a Raiders quarterback, ahead
of only JaMarcus Russells 5.23 yards per
attempt in 2009.

Land deal closes for planned NFL to change PAT distance


NFL stadium near Los Angeles
By Barry Wilner

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The San Diego Chargers and


Oakland Raiders moved a step closer Tuesday to building
a new stadium near Los Angeles after a complex land
deal was finalized on a site that could become the home
of a shared $1.7 billion venue.
The transaction involving about 170 acres in Carson,
a city of 93,000 people, came a day after the teams hired
former San Francisco 49ers President Carmen Policy to
spearhead the next stages of their push to relocate to the
nations second-largest media market.
The pace of activity in Carson underscored an increasing divide between the Chargers and San Diego, where
local officials on Monday announced a financing plan
for a replacement stadium even as the team a day later
moved ahead on the Carson site.
The Raiders and Chargers are planning a shared stadium if both fail to secure new stadiums in their current
hometowns.
With the Carson land deal in place and the hiring of
the former 49ers executive a Carson option is even
more probable than ever before, said Chicago-based
sports finance consultant Marc Ganis, who has worked
on relocations, financing and other projects for NFL
teams, including the Rams move to St. Louis.
The developments were part of a fierce rivalry to bring
professional football back to the Los Angeles region,
two decades after the departure of the Raiders and Rams.
The Carson stadium is one of two prominent proposals being considered by the NFL. St. Louis Rams owner
Stan Kroenke is part of a development group planning
to build a nearly $2 billion, 80,000-seat stadium in the

RAIDERS
Continued from page 11
Still, Davis doesnt know where he stands
with the city.
Selfishly wed like to have that land all
to ourselves, but wed like the As to stay,
wed like the Raiders to stay, Davis said.
Wed like to build a baseball and a football
stadium, maintain the parking that we have
so we have a game-day experience with tailgating and everything else. But I dont want
to build a football stadium in the corner of a

city of Inglewood, roughly 10 miles from downtown


Los Angeles.
Speaking to reporters in San Francisco, Raiders
owner Mark Davis vowed to do all he can to keep his
team in Oakland, even as he and Chargers owner Dean
Spanos move ahead on developing the Carson site. By
June 21, Davis said, he expects to know details of a possible $400 million financing plan from Oakland and
Alameda County to build a new stadium in the East Bay,
next to the teams current home.
Under current NFL rules, the next opportunity for a
team to file to relocate would be in January 2016. Any
decision to move would have to clear a tangle of league
hurdles, including winning the support of at least 24 of
the 32 teams.
League spokesman Brian McCarthy has said the NFL
wants franchises that are strong and successful in their
existing markets.
Jason Cabel Roe, an adviser to San Diego Mayor
Kevin Faulconer, said city officials can only worry
about whats in their power not developments in
Carson or Inglewood.
The Chargers have consistently told us that their
preference is to remain in San Diego if we can come with
a viable plan, Roe said.
The Carson deal would send the deed for 157 acres of a
former landfill to an entity controlled by the city. In
turn, the site would be leased to a stadium authority, similar to a model used by the San Francisco 49ers for a new
stadium in Santa Clara.
A separate, 11-acre parcel would remain under the control of the teams and is expected to be developed for
parking.
The price of the deal was not disclosed.

parking lot, leave the current Coliseum


standing, build a beautiful new stadium and
then be in a construction zone for the next
three or four years while they tear down the
Coliseum where it stands and build a new
baseball stadium.
Davis reiterated he has no plans to sell the
team in his lifetime, nor consider moving it
to St. Louis.
Im going to remain controlling owner
of the Raiders, Davis said. The Raiders,
they were my fathers life. It means a lot to
me to perpetuate his legacy and bring this
organization back to greatness.
Raiders fan Ray Perez, who goes by Dr.
Death and was in face paint and costume,

SAN FRANCISCO The NFL is


moving back extra-point kicks
and allowing defenses to score on
conversion turnovers.
The owners on Tuesday approved
the competition committees proposal to snap the ball from the 15yard line on PATs to make them
more challenging. In recent seasons, kickers made more than 99
percent of the kicks with the ball
snapped from the 2.
There was strong sentiment
coming out of our meetings in
March that something had to be
done with our extra point, said
Texans general manager Rick
Smith, a member of the competition committee that proposed this
specific rule change. From a
kicking perspective the try was
over 99 percent (successful), so we
tried to add skill to the play.
It was also a ceremonial play.
The accepted proposal places
the 2-point conversion at the 2,
and allows the defense to return a
turnover to the other end zone for
the two points, similar to the college rule. The defense can also
score two points by returning a
botched kick.
The change was approved only
for 2015, then will be reviewed.
But Smith predicts it will become
permanent.

led the group that also included some


Chargers supporters holding signs reading,
Save Our Bolts.
His actions need to meet his words,
Perez said before Davis spoke. Why hasnt
he asked anyone to help him here in
Oakland? Hes had this problem for a decade,
and yet all his actions are in Carson. Its a
simple rendering, what do you want your stadium to look like? Have a goal here in
Oakland.
Its not just football. Its more than football.
One fan suggested starting a GoFundMe
page to earn money for the Raiders, and the
idea of a task force also was mentioned.

This isnt an experiment,


Smith added. This is a rule
change. We expect this to be a part
of the game.
The vote was 30-2. Washington
and Oakland voted no.
New England and Philadelphia
also made suggestions on changing the extra point, but the owners
went with the powerful committees recommendation.
Officiating chief Dean Blandino
said the percentage of kicks made
from the 33- or 34-yard line has
been around 93 percent. And Troy
Vincent, in charge of NFL football
operations, noted that placekickers can handle such an alteration.
The kickers a skill position
now, Vincent said. Were not
trying to take the foot out of the
game.
The short-lived XFXL, a developmental league, used the 15-yard
line as the line of scrimmage on
extra point placements.
A major part of the change is the
hope more teams will go for two
points. In contrast to the traditional extra point kick from short
distance, that is an exciting and
usually a critical play.
Some teams could look into 2point specialists; theres conjecture that Eagles coach Chip Kelly
brought in Tim Tebow to potentially fill such a role.

Meanwhile, across the bay at Raiders


headquarters, new coach Jack Del Rio is trying to keep his teams attention on the field.
Were not naive to know there are things
going on, he said Tuesday. Really our
focus is just on trying to be as good a football team as we can be. Were trying to prepare a football team for the upcoming season. Its really inside these walls about that,
about football, about competing, about
learning the system and challenging each
other and building a brotherhood and beginning to get that chemistry and that bond and
all of that.

needed it most.
Ariza scored 20 points and Josh Smith had
17 points and seven rebounds for Houston,
which played without Howard for most of the
fourth.
In the conference nals for the rst time
since 1976, the Warriors hardly looked like
the leagues top-seeded team at the outset.
Instead, the Rockets rode the momentum
from a stunning 3-1 series comeback against
the Los Angeles Clippers that ended with a
Game 7 win in Houston on Sunday.
The only setback to Houstons hot start
came when Howard briey left in the rst
quarter after colliding with Smith. Howard
returned after a few minutes, and the Rockets
raced out to a 49-33 lead midway through the
second quarter that left the home crowd
stunned and silent.
That didnt last long.

a lot of runs. They are averaging 9.7 runs


per game and have three everyday players batting over .500 and two others hitting over
.450. As a team, Mills is batting .382.
The quartet of Sara Cisneros, Lusi Stanley,
Businger and Zucchiatti have powered the
Vikings this season. Those four have combined for 21 of the teams 23 home runs, with
Zucchiatti mashing 10 of them alone.
Mills is mostly known for academics,
Zucchiatti said. But there are a lot of athletes
here (at the school).
But the key, Ynostroza said, is the bottom
three or four hitters. He said he has worked
tirelessly with those players to become productive members of the offense.
I dont know how many teams are stacked
one through nine. The six, seven, eight,
nine players, those are the ones you have to
develop, Ynostroza said. We try to encourage them to win every pitch, try to get ahead
in the count. Win the pitch, win the at-bat.
Draw a walk, bunt, any way you can get on
base. A walk is as good as a hit and that just
puts more pressure on the defense.
Theyve come a long, long way.
Ynostroza is all about putting pressure on
the defense, especially once the Vikings get
runners on base. Mills has run the bases with
abandon, successfully stealing 112 bases on
116 attempts.
Any way you can put pressure on the
defense (is good), Ynostroza said. We have
a lot of speed and smart base runners. We start
(practice) with base running every single
day.
With all the offense the Vikings have put up
this year, the pitching has been overshadowed. But Cisneros has taken the ball in
every single game this season and has been
solid, posting a 2.02 ERA, pitching 135 1/3
out of a possible 136 innings.

Mills catcher Gabriella Zucchiatti, the Ocean


Division Player of the Year, batted .557 with 35
RBIs, 10 homers, seven doubles and four
triples. Mills hosts Pinewood in CCS today.
Our pitching has been pretty solid,
Ynostroza said. She always seemed to get
out of the jams.
Despite winning the Ocean Division and
earning a berth into CCS, the Vikings still
have one goal left to accomplish this season
win their first-round game.
We want to definitely win the first game.
We dont care what happens (after that). If we
win the first game, itll mean a lot, Businger
said.
Added Zucchiatti: By stats, we should win.
But it shouldnt matter whether you can beat a
team by 11 runs or lose by 11 runs. You still
have to go out and play your hardest. Thats
how you win games.

Do dg ers : LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu will decide


Wednesday whether to undergo surgery on
his left shoulder, which has not responded

Brandon Beachy is closer to returning to
action following Tommy John surgery last

U.N. lowers global economic growth estimate


By Cara Anna
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS The United Nations is lowering its


growth estimate for the global economy this year, saying
its previous forecast of 3.1 percent growth in 2015 is now
more likely to be 2.8 percent instead.
The World Economic Situation and Prospects mid-year
report released Tuesday says the dip reflects a worsening in
Latin America in particular as the region deals with lower
commodity prices.
Overall, the forecast expects modest global growth the
rest of this year and next year, which could see an improvement to 3.1 percent.
The U.N. is keeping a wary eye on upcoming monetary
policy changes in the United States, where the Federal
Reserve is expected to start raising interest rates in the
second half of 2015, as well as uncertainty about the Greek
debt crisis effect on the eurozone and possible spillovers
of conflicts including Yemen, Syria and Ukraine.
In the case of Yemen ... the main source of risk is the
possible closure of the route through the Bab el-Mandeb
Straits, used by tankers to transport crude oil out of the Gulf
region, the report says.
Around the world, the drop in prices for oil and other commodities has hurt countries whose economies largely
depend on them, while commodity-importing countries
benefit from being able to buy more for less. Oil prices are
expected to recover slowly, the report says.
Russia has been hit hard by the oil price decline. Its economy is expected to shrink by 3 percent this year and grow
by just 0.1 percent in 2016.
The report sees Indias growth surpassing Chinas both
this year and next. India is expected to grow by 7.6 percent
this year and 7.7 percent next year, while Chinas strong
growth of recent years continues to settle at 7.0 percent
this year and 6.8 next year.
The United States, Japan and the European Union are
more sedate. The U.S. is expected to grow by 2.8 percent
this year and 2.7 percent next year. Japans growth is projected at 1.2 percent this year and 1 percent next year, while
the EU is set to grow 1.9 percent this year and 2.1 percent
in 2016.
Developing countries average growth is seen as staying
at 4.4 percent.

Iraq struggles with politics after Ramadi fall


By Sinan Salaheddin
and Sameer N. Yacoub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD As it moves to try


to reverse the stunning loss of
Ramadi, the capital of Iraqs largest
Sunni province, the Shiite-led
government is hamstrung by the
sectarian politics it has failed to
overcome ever since the Islamic
State group began its rampage
more than a year ago.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi
vowed Tuesday to arm Sunni tribesmen to help retake Ramadi, a plan
the United States has encouraged to
better empower the minority community in the fight to defend their
cities and to reduce their support
for the Sunni extremists.
But the pledge met immediate
skepticism from Sunnis, given
that similar promises after Islamic
State militants seized the northern
city of Mosul last summer were
barely implemented.
It also met quick resistance from
Shiite rivals within al-Abadis own
government, who oppose arming
Sunnis.
At the same time, the government was rallying Iranian-backed
Shiite militiamen to join the offensive, raising the prospect of dangerous frictions in a country that
was nearly torn to pieces by
bloody Shiite-Sunni violence from
2006-2007. Though the Shiite
militiamen have been crucial to
reversing other losses to IS militants, they have also been accused
of abuses against Sunni residents
of those areas.
Around 3,000 Shiite militiamen
have deployed near Ramadi, most
in the Habbaniya military base and
the town of Khaldiya, east of the
city. Others deployed on routes
from Anbar province toward southern Iraq to prevent any IS attempt
to advance on Shiite holy sites
there.
The capture of Ramadi was a
major blow to the U.S.-backed
strategy against the Islamic State
group. Over the past months, the
combination of regular troops,
Shiite militias and Kurdish fighters
backed by U.S.-led airstrikes have
managed to seize back territory
from IS across northern and western Iraq.

U.S. looking into whether hostage was kept by IS leader


By Lolita C. Baldor
and Ken Dilanian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON U.S. intelligence agencies are investigating


the possibility that the Islamic
State militant leader killed Friday
was the captor of American
hostage Kayla Mueller for a time.
Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking
Democrat on the House intelligence committee, confirmed the
line of inquiry at a breakfast with
reporters Tuesday, but declined
further comment. ABC News first
reported that U. S. officials
believe Mueller, whose death was
announced in February, spent
time in the custody of the
But on Sunday, the security
forces and Sunni militiamen who
had been battling the extremists in
Ramadi for months collapsed as IS
fighters overran the city. The militants gained not only new territory
70 miles (115 kilometers) west of
Baghdad, but also large stocks of
weapons abandoned by the government forces as they fled.
The citys fall is a major test for
the Shiite al-Abadi, who came to

Tunisian Islamic State finance


man known as Abu Sayyaf.
A U.S. official on Tuesday said
Sayyafs real name was Fathi ben
Awn ben Jildi Murad al-Tunisi.
Murad was killed Friday during
a rare ground operation in Islamic
State-held territory in Syria by
Delta Force operators. His wife,
known as Umm Sayyaf, was
taken into custody and is being
interrogated, U.S. officials say.
She is cooperative and providing
a trove of intelligence, said a
congressional official briefed on
the matter.
Intelligence analysts are also
sifting through reams of electronic data seized at the site, the
official said.

Murad had a number of aliases,


the U.S. official said, but officials believe Murad is his real
name. Murad is believed to be the
Islamic States head of oil operations.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to discuss the
matter publicly.
The Islamic State group said
Mueller was killed in a Jordanian
air strike, but U.S. officials have
cast doubt on that assertion.
Mueller and her Syrian boyfriend
were taken hostage in August
2013 after leaving a Doctors
Without Borders hospital in
Aleppo, Syria. The boyfriend was
later released.

power eight months ago promising to better embrace Iraqs Sunni


minority to reduce support in the
community for the Islamic State
group. Al-Abadis predecessor,
Nouri al-Maliki, was accused of
fiercely anti-Sunni policies during
his eight years in power that even
some Shiites say helped push
Sunnis toward the extremist group.
Al-Maliki was pushed out of office
after IS overran Mosul and much of

the north last summer.


Enlisting the help of Anbars
Sunni tribes was critical to the success of U.S. efforts to stabilize Iraq
and defeat Sunni militants in the
latter stages of the Iraq war in
2007-2008. After the withdrawal of
U.S. troops in 2011, al-Maliki cut
off funding for pro-government
Sunni militias and Sunni feelings
of discrimination and disenfranchisement grew.

When al-Abadi came to office, he


promised to create new Sunni tribal
forces. While the government has
put some together, progress has
been slow.
Time is running out and the
government should be serious this
time, warned Sunni lawmaker
Mohammed al-Misari, lamenting
what he called al-Abadis procrastination in arming Sunni tribesmen to fight the Islamic State
group in Anbar, where the extremists control 60 percent of the vast
desert province.
We all know that the Baghdad
government has no trust in the
Sunni tribes in Anbar, but I think
this mistrust will only lead to more
gains for Daesh, he said, using an
Arabic acronym for the Islamic
State group.
Among many Shiite politicians,
distrust of the Sunni tribal fighters
runs deep. Shiite lawmaker Aliya
Nusseif claimed that some weapons
given to tribes in the past ended up
in the hands of the Islamic State
group. The government should
make sure that any new arms should
be provided only to the tribes that
are actually fighting against the
terrorist group, she said.
Nusseif also expressed opposition to Sunni demands for advanced
weapons like those given to the
Shiite militiamen, known as the
popular mobilization force. The
Shiite fighters are armed with upto-date equipment like advanced
sniper rifles and modern rocket
launchers as well as armored vehicles, while Sunni tribes only get
automatic rifles.
The government supplies them
to the popular mobilization units
because we trust them. But with the
Sunni tribes the trust is less
because these tribes are split
between those loyal to Daesh and
those whose loyalty is to the government, Nusseif said.
Shiite militias have been key to
victories against the Islamic State
group on other fronts north and
south of Baghdad in recent months.
But they have also been widely
criticized over accusations of
being Iranian proxies and committing extrajudicial killings of
Sunnis, as well as looting and
torching Sunni property
charges militia leaders deny.

Picnics arent just sandwiches


and chips! Think dessert, too
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You can serve this soup in small Mason jars for a fun picnic, or even in tiny espresso or shot
glasses as shooters for a crowd.

A soup suitable for a picnic?


Cue mango gazpacho please
By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

My daughter, Valentine, fell in love with


mango the second she had her first bite of
the creamy orange flesh when she was 2, and
she dutifully repeated back the name of this
wonderful fruit. In fact, she loved mango so
much that she started to use the word
mango as a descriptor to mean delicious. For years, after eating anything she
particularly loved, she called it mango,
with her sweet, deliberate toddler pronunciation.
I agree with Valentine. I love all fresh
fruit, but the unique taste of mango reminds
me of my childhood when we would travel to
Mexico to visit friends and eat mangos
around the clock.
This summer fruit is jammed with vitamin
C (one mango has almost a full days recommended supply), and also provides a host of
other vitamins. Like other fruit, though,
mango gets its great flavor from sugar. Yes,
they are natural sugars, and the natural fiber
keeps my kids from eating the quantity of
mango that theyd probably down if they
were drinking, say, just the juice.
Still, we want to be mindful of the fact that
1 cup of ripe mango can have 20 to 25 grams
of sugar.
While my whole family most often eats
mango simply sliced or sucking straight off
the pit, I love the way mangos sweetness
balances out spicy dishes. In this mango
gazpacho, I swap mangos for the usual
tomatoes, and stretch the sugars by bulking
up the soup with refreshing cucumber. For
punches of flavor, I add some heat from pepper flakes and red curry powder.
Its a perfect chilled summer soup. Serve

in small Mason jars for a fun picnic, or even


in tiny espresso or shot glasses as soup
shooters for a crowd.

CHILLED MANGO GAZPACHO


Start to Finish: 10 minutes, plus chilling
Servings: 6
3 mangos, peeled, pitted and roughly
chopped (about 3 cups flesh)
1 1/2 English cucumbers, peeled, seeded
and roughly chopped
1 red bell pepper, halved, cored and
chopped
1 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup vegetable broth
3/4-inch chunk fresh ginger
1 to 2 teaspoons red curry powder, to taste
(optional)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, plus
extra
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
In a blender, combine 1 cup of the mango,
1/2 of the cucumber, 1/2 of the bell pepper,
the coconut milk, vegetable broth, ginger,
curry powder, pepper flakes and vinegar.
Puree until smooth, about 1 full minute. Add
the remaining mango, cucumber, bell pepper and 2 tablespoons of mint. Pulse several times to just finely chop, but not puree.
Refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours.
Stir well before serving, then ladle into canning jars and sprinkle additional mint over
the top.

When it comes to packing a picnic, the

Its all very transportable and all very
easy to eat while perched on a blanket in the
grass. But dessert can prove less obvious.
Sure, you could do cookies. But what else?
The usual cakes and cupcakes and ice creams

up to being hauled into the park on a warm
day.
Which is why bars are where its at. Think
brownies and blondies and all manner of
rich, dense, chewy treats. To help you on
your way, we created these gorp hermits, a
sort of granola-inspired bar that is dense,
delicious and sweet without being too over
the top. And, most importantly, they transport very well.

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg


Zest of 1 orange
3 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
2 1/4 cups (9 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup thick-cut oats
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds
1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Coarse sugar
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-by-13inch pan with cooking spray, then line the
bottom of the pan with kitchen parchment.
In a small saucepan over medium-high,
bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Remove the
pan from the heat and add the raisins and
cranberries. Cover and set aside.
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to
beat together the melted butter, brown
sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg and orange zest. Beat in the
eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides
of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Stir in
the molasses, flour and baking powder, then
mix until completely incorporated.
Stir in the oats, peanuts, almonds, crystallized ginger and chocolate, if using.
Drain the dried fruit, discarding any excess
liquid that doesnt get absorbed, and stir
into the batter. You should have a very soft,
spreadable and sticky batter. Spread the
mixture into the prepared pan, sprinkle with
coarse sugar, then bake for 40 minutes.
Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then overturn onto a cutting board. Remove the
kitchen parchment and cut into bars.

Fried chicken chain KFC
resurrects Colonel Sanders for ads
NEW YORK KFC is bringing back Colonel Sanders as
the fried chicken chain seeks to refresh its image by
harkening back to its past.
Sanders, who founded KFC, will be
played by Saturday Night Live alumnus Darrell Hammond in TV commercials. The real Colonel Harland Sanders
died nearly 35 years ago, and KFC hasnt
featured him in TV ads for about 20
years.
KFC also plans to redesign its restaurants with light fixtures shaped like
chicken buckets and quotes from
Colonel
Colonel Sanders hanging on the wall.
Sanders
For customers that dont know who
Colonel Sanders is, KFC is giving them an online history
lesson. At ColonelSanders.com, the fast food chain gives
details about Colonel Sanders past, including that he
dropped out of school in the sixth grade. Theres also a
video game on the site featuring Sanders, who was born in
1890.
Its apparently a good time to be a marketing icon for a
fast-food chain. The resurrection of Colonel Sanders comes
a couple of weeks after rival McDonalds said it would
bring back its classic character, the Hamburglar, to TV ads.

Typical Chinese takeout, with its bold flavors of ginger, chili and soy sauce, is enough to stump even the savviest sommelier.

Think beer and German wines when


youre pairing with Chinese takeout
By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

What wine pairs best with Chinese


takeout? Short answer: beer.
The truth is, typical takeout, with its
bold flavors of ginger, chili and soy
sauce, is enough to stump even the
savviest sommelier.
Having a Chinese wife and spending holidays eating my mother-inlaws cooking has given me plenty of
opportunities to experiment matching
wines to Chinese food, and its not so
easy, says Alder Yarrow, San
Francisco-based founder of the popular
site Vinography.com and author of
The Essence of Wine.
But theres hope for those who want
wine with their wontons: Think
German.
The stuff in takeout Chinese that
really wreaks havoc with wine is the
spicy stuff, in particular heavy ginger
and chili paste, says Yarrow. But all
but the most extreme concentrations
of these ingredients can still find a
nice match in lightly sweet riesling
and off-dry gewurztraminer, (another
German white wine), both of which are
by far the best pairings with Chinese
food around.

That is unless youre ordering


General Tsos chicken, the sweet and
spicy fried chicken dish that is an
occasional guilty pleasure for Yarrow.
Theres really no wine that can deal
with the sweet, double-fried craziness
of that dish.
But for the rest of the menu, here are
some pairing suggestions from Yarrow
and others.

MALBEC

RIESLING

MAI TAIS

The overall go-to wine for Chinese


takeout. Yarrow likes his at the level of
sweetness designated as spatlese.
Youll find this on the label. Ditto for
Andy Myers, master sommelier and
wine director of chef Jose Andres
ThinkFoodGroup in Washington,
D.C., who admits to being a bit of a
lunatic about spatlese riesling and the
duck noodle soup from Chinatown
Express, a D.C. Chinatown institution.

Skye LaTorre, beverage director of


New Yorks restaurant group The
Meatball Shop, recommends pairing
sesame chicken with a mai tai. Dark
rum and orgeat taps into the rich,
toasty, nutty, sweetness of the chicken
glaze while the citrus brightens the
dish with acid.
And for more along the cocktail line,
Kevin Denton who oversees the cocktail program at Alder, the New York
restaurant run by innovative chef
Wylie Dufresne, has these suggestions
for pre-dinner drinks to get you in the
takeout spirit. Try mixing a spicy rye
whiskey with ice-cold ginger beer and
a squeeze of lime to cool chili heat. On

SPARKLING
Crisp and dry bubbly is another
crowd-pleaser. Tamer Hamawi and Elise
Rosenberg, principals and beverage
directors of the Brooklyn restaurants
Colonie and Gran Electrica, recom-

mend
sesame
pancakes
with
Champagne and fortune cookies with
moscato dAsti, the Italian sparkler.
And dont forget rose sparkling wines.

Try this rich, red wine from


Argentina with equally rich dishes,
such as barbecued pork or spareribs,
advises Yarrow.

Combine edamame,
walnuts for savory
vegan taco meat
By Melissa DArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For my daughters 10th birthday, I took 15 giggling girls to


dinner at a Japanese steakhouse.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Because I probably could stop
right here and let this column just
explore the wisdom of that parenting decision. And in case you were
wondering what the right number
of fourth graders is to take out for
a teppanyaki dinner, the answer is
not 15.
If youve been to a teppanyaki
restaurant, you know that the
chefs put on a spectacle for the
diners, cooking the meal tableside
on giant griddles spinning
knives, tossing utensils, drumming out rhythmic beats with
oversized salt and pepper shakers,
and dazzling the crowd with their
stacks of onions lit into volcanos.
But the exciting theatrics were
not the highlight of the evening.
Turns out it was the bowls of
edamame that thrilled the girls
most. Steamed soybeans beat out
flaming poofs of oil-fueled fire.
Who knew?
Whether the girls felt trendy
squeezing the little beans out of
the pods and into their mouths or
actually just loved the mild flavor
and firm texture, Im not sure. But

everyone seemed to
love
edamame.
The good news is edamame dont
just appeal to young girls. They
are delicious and nothing at all
like tofu (the better known soy
food). And frozen edamame are
available at nearly every grocery
store these days, which means this
nutritious bean can easily join
your home cooking repertoire.
And a half cup of shelled edamame
has about 10 grams of protein and
4 grams of fiber with just 100
calories.
To showcase edamames versatility, Ive created this recipe for
edamame and walnut lettuce wraps.
Though Japanese in spirit, it
skews Mexican in flavor. I pair
tasty, firm edamame with crunchy
walnuts and some spices to make a
cold vegetarian meat for lettuce
wraps or tacos. Vegans will love
this recipe, but so will meatlovers.
I mix up a batch of the filling,
then eat it for lunch or snacks for
several days, reminding me that
edamame are so much more than
just a teppanyaki prelude.

EDAMAME AND
WALNUT LETTUCE WRAPS
Start to finish: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
For the cucumber-avocado
salsa:

Pair firm edamame with crunchy walnuts and spices to make a cold vegetarian meat for lettuce wraps or tacos.
1 small English cucumber, cut
into 1/2-inch cubes
1 small avocado, peeled, pitted
and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh
mint
1 scallion, chopped
Juice of 1/2 lime (about 1 tablespoon)
For the filling:
1 cup shelled edamame
1 cup walnut pieces
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/3 cup jarred tomato salsa (or 1
chopped small tomato)
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)

Kosher salt and ground black


pepper
To serve:
8 large butter lettuce leaves
1/2 cup low-fat plain Greek
yogurt
Sliced radishes
Lime wedges
To prepare the cucumber-avocado salsa, in a medium bowl toss
together all ingredients. Set aside.
To prepare the filling, in a food
processor combine the edamame,
walnuts, cumin and chili powder.
Pulse until finely chopped but still
a little chunky. Add the jarred salsa
and lime juice and pulse another 5
to 10 times to bind the mixture. If

the mixture is too dry, add water 1


teaspoon at a time until the consistency is to your liking.
To assemble, place 2 lettuce
leaves on each serving plate. Add
about 1/4 cup the edamame mixture to the center of each leaf. Top
with 1 tablespoon of the cucumber-avocado salsa, 1 tablespoon
of the yogurt, radish slices and a
squeeze of lime.

A new ketchup that just might inspire condiment excitement

e all have THAT food,


the food we eat when
nobody else is looking. Mine involves ketchup.
Unless you are a ketchup freak
like me (and most people above
the age of 8 are not), you may
find this habit bordering on disgusting. Nonetheless, I occasionally indulge in what I affectionately call ketchup-pickle soup.
Theres no great mystery to
explore here. I fill a cereal bowl

with breadand-butter
pickle chips,
then fill it
with ketchup.
Then I eat it
with a spoon.
Im neither
proud nor
ashamed of
this.
All of
which is to
say, I take my

ketchup seriously. And yet, Ive


never been a ketchup snob.
Heinz? Hunts? All good. Muir
Glenn and Annies Naturals when
Im feeling virtuous? Also good.
Store brand when Im feeling
cheap? On it. Sir Kensingtons
when Im peckish for something
posh? All over that.
But I recently encountered a
new bottle that had me questioning my ketchup neutrality. Traina
Foods, the Patterson, California,
producer of all manner of dried

fruits and veggies, has combined


the worlds two most perfect
condiments into one blissful
squirt bottle. Enter Sriracha Sun
Dried Tomato Ketchup.
Traina Foods new ketchup,
which launched late last year,
offers that perfect hit of sweet and
spicy. Which, of course, you
could get just by adding a splosh
of Sriracha to your everyday
ketchup. Except this bottle is
built on Traina Foods earlier
release, California Sun Dried

Tomato Ketchup. Made from some


seriously delicious sun-dried
tomatoes, this ketchup goes way
beyond the basic sweet-tangysavory we love.
Traina Foods ketchups have a
brilliant viscosity, almost a
chunkiness that elevates them
way beyond the basic condiment.
As grilling season heats up, this
is the ketchup you want on your
burgers and dogs. And it certainly
is the ketchup I want in my pickle
soup.

seen by the city, said Community
Development Director Curtis Banks.
After the studies are conducted and the
impacts to schools, water resources and traffic are evaluated, the proposal would be
heard by the Planning Commission before
again going in front of the City Council for
a formal vote, Banks said.
Perez said he voted against the proposal
because the city needs to look at all development in a holistic sense and how it interplays with the entire city, not by isolated
projects.
I believe in responsible development
and responsible growth and theres no doubt
that we have to grow and we have to redevelop. But we cant continue to do it piecemeal, Perez said, adding he would like to
engage developers, residents and stakeholders in a dialogue about the citys long-term
future.
Gridlocked traffic in the city bordered by
State Route 92 and Highway 101, already
overcrowded schools and water cutbacks in
the face of the drought were common concerns residents raised in their opposition
against the proposal.
But some city officials contend the issues
are out of their control as a booming econo-

SURVEY
Continued from page 1
in the November election.
According to Godbe Research, about
62.1 percent of likely voters would support a general purpose sales tax measure
that would need a simple majority to pass
and serve as an extension of Measure L, a
half-cent sales tax passed by voters in
2009 that expires in 2018.
I am pleased by the strong support in
our community for local city services and
project, Mayor Maureen Freschet wrote
in a press release. Residents understand
we need to invest in the infrastructure and
services that maintain our quality of life.

such as fixing sidewalks or potholes and
maintaining emergency response times

my paired with a lack of housing has resulted in traffic woes and the school districts,
which are shared with the city of San Mateo,
must earn the voter support to pass a bond
that would provide relief.
Sares Regis also argues the impacts could
actually be alleviated if the project were
converted from eight-story office buildings
to three-story townhomes. Instead of 800
employees and hundreds of cars, Sares Regis
suggests the proposed two- to three-bedroom homes would be occupied by only 100
or so residents who ideally, would work in
Foster City.
We hear the concerns and fears related to
growth, and the desire for future growth to
be responsible, Dave Hopkins, Sares
Regis Pilgrim Triton project manager wrote
in an email. This is a unique opportunity to
replace a high density project with a much
lower density land use, while providing
ownership housing options to local
employees, and a significant number of new
affordable ownership homes to a city which
currently has a total of seven. We can reduce
congestion within the city, and replace 80to 90-foot-tall buildings with 40-foot-tall
buildings.
A group of citizens disagree and have
already coalesced against more units being
added while contending the City Council is
underestimating its own influence.
Any time they approve housing or indicate that they might approve housing,
as well as medical services.
Now, city staff will now conduct outreach with community members through a
variety of means from meeting with homeowners association groups to social
media, before the council decides whether
to proceed with the measure.
We found that there was strong support
from the community for keeping the sales
tax measure if it was going to help with
public safety and maintaining vital services, Councilman David Lim said. The key
for that was keeping the funds locally and
under local control, which is definitely
what we want to do.
The hope is an extension of Measure L,
which has generated nearly $5 million
annually, would serve as a sustainable
funding mechanism from which the state
cannot draw, according to the city.
Residents know that the state has taken
money away from San Mateo to address its
past budget deficit, City Manager Larry
Patterson said in the press release.
Sacramento has taken over $50 million
... from the city since 1990, at the same

theyre making traffic, school crowding and


our water supply problems worse. But they
spent a lot of time explaining that the traffic is not their doing, its outsiders, and the
school overcrowding is something the
[school] district needs to worry about. They
spent a lot of time distancing themselves
from these problems. So encouraging the
development seems to me, to really violate
what the residents are clearly telling the
council that they want, said Bob Cushman,
a member of the Foster City Residents for
Responsible Development.
Many councilmembers said they felt the
public was misinformed and the ultimate

in street and road repairs alone with no
available funding sources.
The city has nearly $400 million worth
of projects and services that do not have
an identified funding source for which the
extension could help support. Although
Measure L doesnt expire for another three
years, officials aim to be proactive,
according to Assistant City Manager Matt
Bronson.
Were conducting this research now as
sound fiscal planning practices dictate
prudent, early planning before waiting
until an actual deadline to take action.

goal was to determine whether Foster City


would benefit more from the additional
housing or commercial space.
None of us should be making decisions
based on emotion or incorrect or unsubstantiated facts, Councilman Steve Okamoto
said. But Im sympathetic to the groups
concerns.
Since 2000, only 300 housing units have
been added to the city so its unrealistic for
residents to blame traffic congestion and
overcrowding on any recent proposals,
Okamoto said.
Councilman Charlie Bronitsky agreed,
adding he expects the councils actions to
produce a better understanding of the citys
options.
Its important for both the short and
long term future of Foster City that we look
at feasible projects and obtain the necessary
analysis to determine whether or not they
are in the best interest of our city,
Bronitsky wrote in an email. We need to
understand how this project will impact traffic, school overcrowding, water use, existing businesses, businesses that will need to
be relocated, housing needs, affordable
housing needs and the long-term economic

Critics slam HBO drama


Game of Thrones for rape scene
LOS ANGELES A U.S. senator is
among those condemning a rape scene
on HBOs Game of Thrones.
In a comment tweeted Tuesday, Sen.
Claire McCaskill described the sexual
assault as gratuitous and disgusting. The Democratic lawmaker from
Missouri said she was done with the
show.
Others critics included the website
The Mary Sue, which offers a feminist
view of pop culture. The website posted that it would no longer promote
Game of Thrones and said that rape is
not a device to drive a story.
HBO declined comment Tuesday
on the reaction to the episode that
debuted last Sunday. An after-hours
call to McCaskills office seeking
further comment was not immediate-

BAN
Continued from page 1
buildings, condominiums, senior living homes and other large residential
facilities. Last year, smoking was
banned on, and within 25 feet of, cityowned property such as parks, playgrounds and parking lots.
And the conversation between the
councilmembers indicated that, as officials develop the ban on smoking in
attached housing projects, there may
be additional interest in extending the
restriction to downtown shopping
areas such as Burlingame Avenue.
Mayor Terry Nagel said she would
favor banning smoking on sidewalks
in Burlingame.
I think that would go a long way to
improving our downtown and other
shopping areas, she said.
Councilwoman Ann Keighran said
though she also favored looking into
developing an ordinance restricting
smoking on city sidewalks, she noted
that there needs to be some space set
aside in the multi-unit residential ban
that would allow smoking, perhaps in
an area such an outdoor bench.
Its very hard to break away from
that addiction, she said. We need to
have an option for those people who
have smoked.
Councilmembers agreed that as the
multi-unit residential ban is drafted,

l y ret urn ed. The attack involved
newly married characters Sansa, played
by Sophie Turner, and Ramsay, portrayed by Iwan Rheon. Ramsays rape
of Sansa was off-camera, suggested in
her cries and the distress on a
bystanders face.
The scene differed from the work of
George R.R. Martin, whose novels are
the basis of Game of Thrones. In
Martins work, a different character
marries Ramsay and is sexually
assaulted by another man at Ramsays
direction.
Last season, HBO was slammed over
another rape scene, that one involving
incestuous lovers. The shows ongoing graphic violence also has drawn
criticism.
Despite the attacks, Game of
Thrones remains a steady hit in its

fifth season.

Kanye West says he was


over-censored at Billboard Awards
LOS ANGELES Kanye West is
apologizing to TV viewers who saw
his performance on the Billboard
Music Awards.
The rapper released a statement
Tuesday saying he was grossly overcensored during his performance on
the show. He says some of his lyrics
were muted for 30 seconds, which misrepresented his voice and performance.
The audience at Las Vegas MGM
Grand Garden Arena booed as West performed his songs All Day and Black
Skinhead at Sundays ceremony,
which was broadcast on ABC.
Wests statement apologizes to the
television audience, who he says was
unable to enjoy the performance the
way he envisioned.

there should be an eye kept on giving


smokers a significant amount of
advance warning.
The prevailing sentiment was that,
should the ban be approved, roughly a
year or more should be granted before
the new policy is enforced, which
would allow smokers to find new, more
tolerant housing.
Officials noted though, considering
the state of the housing market in and
around Burlingame, finding a new
place to live for many smokers may be
cost prohibitive.
Residents of attached living units
who spoke to the council during the
meeting advocated for the ban to be
implemented equally across the city, in
both in apartments and condominiums.
It is imperative condominiums be
included, said Louise Bekins, who
said she has suffered for years with no
options for recourse against a neighbor who refused to stop to smoking in
his condominium building.
Some councilmembers expressed
reservations regarding implementing
a ban on whether residents are able to
smoke inside their privately owned
property.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg said
he was undecided about banning smoking in private residences, but the feedback from residents during the meeting
was illuminating.
I found the testimonial very compelling, he said.

As the staff moves forward with


drafting the potential ban, there are
still hurdles to navigate, such as how
enforcement will be handled.
Both Kane and Goldman have
worked in jurisdictions previously that
have implemented some fashion of
smoking ban, and said the enforcement is largely contingent on city
code enforcement officers responding
to residents who file complaints
against their neighbors.
Kane said when Belmont rolled out
its smoking ban, the city leaned heavily on a public outreach effort which
educated each owner of a large-scale
housing project on the nuances of the
new policy.
Councilmembers agreed that educating residents and housing project owners should be a core component of
rolling out the new policy, and suggested looking at the countys smoking ban for guidance and consistency.
I think we should have a lot of education of the public in advance, said
Nagel
Officials were hesitant to expand the
ban to e-cigarettes and those who
smoke medicinal marijuana in the
multi-unit residential housing developments.
Officials will develop the new policy and bring it back to the council at a
later date.

The finding comes as crews in


Pacifica were burying two whales that
stranded there in April and May. A 48foot sperm whale was discovered on
April 14 near Mori Point and a 42-foot
adult female humpback was found on
May 5.
That beach is under the jurisdiction
of the San Francisco Recreation and
Park Department, which had initially

intended to let the whales decompose


on the beach, but agreed to bury them
after the city of Pacifica raised concerns about the odor.
Researchers were unable to determine conclusively how those whales
had died, though blunt force trauma on
the humpback seemed to suggest it
might have died after being struck by a
ship.

The following is a summary of the Ordinance: On March


23, 2015, written notices of the proposed rates were mailed to
all property owners along with information regarding the proposed rate adjustment, the process for protesting the proposed
rates, and the date, time and location of the public hearing on
the proposed garbage rates. At the public hearing held on May
12, 2015, the City Council received public comment and found
that the City did not receive written protests against the rate increase from a majority of the customers or parcels served by
Recology. The City Council then closed the public hearing and
a M/S by Ibarra/Medina to waive the first reading and introduce
the ordinance, was passed by a unanimous vote of all ayes.

NOTICE TO READERS:
California law requires that contractors
taking jobs that total $500 or more (labor
or materials) be licensed by the Contractors State License Board. State law also
requires that contractors include their license number in their advertising. You
can check the status of your licensed
contractor at www.cslb.ca.gov or 800321-CSLB. Unlicensed contractors taking
jobs that total less than $500 must state
in their advertisements that they are not
licensed by the Contractors State License Board.
