Student planners envision San Brunos future
Citys downtown focus of Stanford and Berkeley student urban design challenge
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Crafting plans for San Bruno was left in the
hands of future planners, if only for a limited
time.
Stanford University and University of
California, Berkeley students restored their
long rivalry in an urban design competition
challenging rival teams to envision the reju-
venation of downtown San Bruno.
The 28th annual battle for the Golden
Shovel focused on bringing vibrancy and
additional opportunities to a block bounded
by Angus, Mastick, Sylvan and San Mateo
avenues.
While the Stanford University team was
awarded the grand prize by a judges panel of
real estate professionals at a ceremony held
Tuesday, April 25, in San Francisco, partici-
pants believed the competition offered many
more rewards.
I think this was a tremendous learning
opportunity for the students, and the city
benefited from both teams, said David
Woltering, San Bruno community develop-
ment director, who coordinated the citys par-
ticipation. This is information and these are
ideas that I think we will be using in the future
as we go forward to redevelop our down-
town.

Ultimately, Woltering said judges may
have favored the more conservative plans
drafted by the Stanford team, and suggested
the Berkeley students vision may have been
a bit too ambitious.
The block is subdivided into roughly 20
different parcels, many of which belong to
separate owners, said Woltering, who noted
the difficulties commonly faced when devel-
opers attempt to coordinate so many compet-
ing interests.
The Stanford team also benefited from tak-

acter such as a local religious temple, while
THE DAILY JOURNAL
the Berkeley students opted to assume the
properties could be rebuilt, said Woltering.
Ultimately, I think the jury felt Stanford
was a little more realistic, said Woltering.
Evelyn Denhart Weis, a Stanford team
member, agreed.
We felt that it was better to have a smaller
unit count but backed up by solid evidence
rather than an aspirational project, she said.
Regardless of the outcome, she said she
deeply appreciated the opportunity to com-
plete a project which brought many of her
lessons to life.
It was a really fantastic way to get a hands-
on look at the things we are learning in the
classroom in a way that you dont really usu-
ally get to tackle a project, she said.
She said she also appreciated the opportu-
nity to network with industry professionals
who offered valuable guidance for the teams
attempting to develop their plans.
Everyone we reached out to, as soon as
they heard who we were, they were so above
and beyond being helpful, she said.
The two months spent working on the
project was a sizable undertaking for those
who also faced a full class workload, said
Denhart Weis.
We are all full-time students taking a full
course load. So it was a big time commitment
and definitely a balancing act with other aca-
demic credits and classes, she said.
Despite the other obligations facing the
students, Woltering said he deeply admired
the final product from both teams.
The students did an excellent job, he said.
I cant say enough about the work they did.
They did incredible research and presented
extraordinarily well.
Denhart Weis said while all teams enjoyed
the competition, the experience was espe-
cially sweet for the Stanford team as they
defeated their archnemesis school.
It was really encouraging and exciting for
us It feels good to represent all the
Stanford alumni, she said.

Man killed by San Francisco
police identified as 26-year-old
SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco
medical examiners office has identified
the man who was fatally shot by San
Francisco police as 26-year-old Nicholas
Flusche.
Police Chief Bill Scott said officers were
walking their usual downtown beat
Wednesday when they came upon Flusche
stabbing a man on Market Street shortly
before 11:30 a.m.
Scott said the suspect was shot while the
stabbing was in progress.
Police have released few details about
the shooting. Most of the police action
appeared to occur in front of and inside a
Subway sandwich shop.
The stabbing victim was taken to a hos-
pital and treated for non-life threatening
injuries.
The medical examiners office said
Thursday it did not have a fixed local
address for Flusche, but said he had family
near Dallas, Texas.
Facebook, Twitter, Google
sued over San Bernardino attack
LOS ANGELES Family members of
San Bernardino terror attack victims are
suing Facebook, Google and Twitter,
accusing the companies of providing plat-
forms to aid terrorists.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal
court in Los Angeles said the companies
allowed the Islamic State group to spread
propaganda, recruit followers and raise
money.
Authorities say the Islamic State group
inspired the husband and wife who killed
14 people and wounded 22 in the Dec. 2,
2015, shooting.
The suit from the relatives of three vic-
tims mirrors claims made against social
media providers for other attacks, such as
the 2016 massacre at the Pulse nightclub
in Orlando, Florida.
Some of those lawsuits have been dis-
missed because federal law shields online
providers from responsibility for content
posted by users.

GOP health care bill allows

employers to cap benefits
By Geoff Mulvihill
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Republican health care plan that passed the House on

Thursday targeted a key protection for Americans who get
their health insurance through work.
It would allow health insurance companies to impose life-
time and annual caps on benefits for those who get cover-
age through a large-employer plan. Former President
Barack Obamas health care overhaul banned insurers from
imposing such caps, and public opinion surveys have
shown that prohibition was popular.
Before the Obama reforms, people who got a serious med-
ical problem could be cut off from their health coverage
once they hit their insurance limit. They sometimes went
into debt to continue their treatment.
Until the last few days, the provision had been a little-
noticed part of the bill that would help congressional
Republicans and President Donald Trump make good on
their promise to undo Obamas key domestic accomplish-
ment. Most of the attention on the Republican plan was
focused on how it could result in 24 million Americans los-
ing insurance, primarily by rolling back expanded Medicaid
benefits.
But the potential impact for workers covered by large-
employer plans is setting off alarms. Coverage caps could
create major problems, especially for younger people who
have serious illnesses, said Matthew Lesser, a Democratic
state representative in Connecticut.
Cancer is tough enough as it is without worrying about
hitting some arbitrary cap, said Lesser, who survived tes-
ticular cancer and has been in remission for five years.

GOP-led House panel
votes to overhaul Dodd-Frank
WASHINGTON House Republicans took a major step
toward their long-promised goal of unwinding the stricter
financial rules created after the 2008 crisis, pushing forward
sweeping legislation that would undo much of President
Barack Obamas landmark banking law.
A House panel on Thursday approved Republican-written
legislation that would gut much of the Dodd-Frank law
enacted by Democrats and signed by Obama in the wake of
the financial crisis and the Great Recession. The party-line
vote in the Republican-led House Financial Services
Committee was 34-26.
I cant do a good James Brown, but I feel good, said
Rep. Jeb Hensarling, the normally reserved Republican
chairman of the committee, referring to the singer often
called the godfather of soul. Hensarling wrote much of the
overhaul legislation.
Republicans argued that the Dodd-Frank law is slowing
economic growth because of the cost of compliance and by
curbing lending.
Democrats warned the GOP bill will create the same con-
ditions that led to the financial crisis and pushed the econ-
omy to the brink of collapse.
Donald Trump meets with Australias Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull ahead of an event commemorating the 75th anniversary
of the Battle of the Coral Sea, aboard the USS Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York.
Donald Trump enjoys health care
victory, hails ties with Australia
By Darlene Superville
and Jonathan Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Donald Trump turned
his first trip home as president into a
victory lap on Thursday, returning to
the city that has largely opposed him
while celebrating House passage of
legislation undoing much his prede-
cessors health law.
Trump only received 18 percent of
the vote in New York in Novembers
presidential election. Multiple mod-
est protests were held across the city
during his visit, some visible from
the presidential motorcade as it
roared past Wall Street and
Manhattans famed skyscrapers.
His visit was shorter than first
expected so that he could commemo-
rate the House vote with a Rose
Garden event, the White House eager
for the appearance of a victory after
an uneven first 100 days in office.
Slated to be in Manhattan only a few
hours, Trump did not visit his home
at Trump Tower and pushed back his
first-time meeting with Australian
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull by
several hours.
In those Pacific waters we forged
iron bonds between our two coun-
tries, Trump said. Few peoples in
the world share ties in history, affec-
tion and culture like the Americans
and the Australians. Those ties are
sealed with the blood of our grandfa-
thers and fathers and those same ties
are now the priceless heritage we cel-
ebrate so beautifully tonight.
Earlier, he also downplayed the
contentious call he had with Turnbull
in January, dismissing the reports of
tension as fake news.
The leaders spoke aboard the USS
Intrepid, a decommissioned aircraft
carrier, to commemorate the 75th
anniversary of a World War II battle
that reinforced the ties between the
U.S. and Australia. Both countries
warships and fighter planes engaged
the Japanese from May 4-8, 1942,
forcing the Japanese navy to retreat
for the first time in the war.
Trump paid tribute to the heroism
of the battles veterans and also
pointed to the Intrepid, which sur-
vived being hit by four separate
Japanese kamikaze attacks during the
war, as a need for the U.S. to keep its
military strong and pledged that he
would continue to boost defense
spending.
REUTERS
His triumphant appearance aboard
the World War II carrier came just
hours after jubilant Republicans
bused in from Capitol Hill to the
White House for the victory lap, an
unusually early celebration for the
passage of a bill through just one
house of Congress. The legislation,
which was met with sharp Democratic
opposition, squeaked through the
House by a vote of 217-213 and faces
an uncertain fate in the Senate.
Trump said he was so confident
that the measure would pass the
Senate and vowed that premiums and
deductibles would come down.
People are suffering so badly with
the ravages of Obamacare, Trump
said.
At one point the president turned to
the representatives lined up behind
him and, suggesting the victory was
especially impressive for a novice
politician, exclaimed: Hey, Im
president! Im president! Can you
believe it?!
House leaders came through with
the votes to give Trump a major
political win more than a month after
Republicans first attempt to pass a
health care bill went down in a humil-
iating defeat.

Pre-existing conditions and the health plan: Whos covered?
By Tom Murphy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Republican push to replace the
Affordable Care Act was revived this week in
Congress by a small change to their plan
designed to combat concerns over coverage
for those with pre-existing health problems.
The change helped get the bill through the
House of Representatives in a tight vote
Thursday, but experts say it may make little
difference in the hunt for affordable coverage
for these patients.
The bill proposes setting aside an addition-
al $8 billion over five years to help states
cover those who may be subject to higher
insurance rates because theyve had a lapse in
coverage. Thats on top of about $100 bil-
lion over a decade for states to help people
afford coverage and stabilize insurance mar-
kets.
The problem, experts say, is that the
money is unlikely to guarantee an affordable
alternative for those who get coverage under
a popular provision of the Affordable Care
Act that prevents insurers from rejecting peo-
ple or charging higher rates based on their
health.
Heres how coverage may change for those
with pre-existing conditions under the plan:
WHAT CHANGES?
States will be able to get federal waivers
allowing insurers to charge higher premiums
to people with pre-existing illnesses who
have let their coverage lapse. States can then
use federal money to fund government-oper-
Health care repeal vote a GOP confidence-builder
By Nancy Benac
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Finally, a good day for
Republicans.
Nearly four months into the era of Trump,
Republicans gave weary supporters reason
to think theres still hope for the bold
promises of Campaign 2016.
With a House vote Thursday to repeal
Barack Obamas health care law, the party
showed it could pick up the pieces after a
humiliating failure six weeks ago and
demonstrated the first flicker of signs that it
may be able to find consensus within its
divided ranks.
The momentum appeared to carry over
beyond health care. The House vote came
hours after Trump signed an order to pro-
mote religious expression. GOP legislators
moved closer to rolling back Obama-era
financial regulations. The Senate approved

ated insurance programs for expensive
patients called high-risk pools.
HOW DO THESE
POOLS OPERATE?
Patients who couldnt get or afford insur-
ance could apply for coverage through these
high risk pools, which existed before the
Affordable Care Act was passed. Even though
they were charged far higher rates, up to dou-
ble the amount paid by consumers with no
serious ailments, care for these patients is so
expensive that government money was need-
ed to fund the programs.
a spending bill averting a government shut-
down that would have been disastrous for
the party with a monopoly on power.
But the hunger for a win may have come at
a cost. House Republicans pushed through
the health care bill with only a vote to spare
and no Democratic support reminiscent
of the passage of the so-called Obamacare
law it unraveled. The bills fate is uncertain
in the Senate, which is sure to change it.
Democrats quickly served notice they would
hold Republicans accountable for what they
predicted could be a disastrous impact on
some of the sickest Americans.
But for one day, at least, Republicans
decided to celebrate. Immediately after the
health-care vote, House Republicans piled
onto buses and headed to the White House
for a sun-splashed Rose Garden celebration
a rare event for a bill that has cleared
only one chamber of Congress.
This really helps, Trump said, saying
REUTERS
DO THEY WORK?
In the more than 30 states that had high-
risk pools, net losses piled up to more than
$1.2 billion in 2011, the high point of the
pools before the Affordable Care Act took full
effect. Medical expenses outpaced premiums
collected, and losses averaged $5,500 per
person enrolled. States used fees and taxes to
make up the difference, and states sometimes
made it more difficult to some to qualify for
care.
IS THE FEDERAL MONEY ENOUGH?

Republicans together and laid the founda-

Friday May 5, 2017 7
firm Avalere found that the money would only
be enough to fund high-risk pools in a few
small states. High-risk pools could fill up
fast with patients who have a lapse in cover-
age.
People with pre-existing conditions could
lose their insurance if they can no longer
work due to their health. The Republican
health plan also is expected to raise premi-
ums for older people, who are more likely to
have a pre-existing condition.
This gets complicated fast, Avalere
President Dan Mendelson said.
About 2.2 million people in the individual
insurance market have some sort of pre-exist-
ing chronic condition, according to Avalere.
WHAT MIGHT
THIS MEAN FOR PATIENTS?
Because the bill is expected to change, and
because it leaves big decisions up to the
states, its hard to say now what it would
mean. Also, federal auditors have not had
time to analyze the plan.
Proponents of the bill note that people in
poor health would still be protected as long
as they maintain coverage. If they dont, the
higher premiums they are charged would
revert back to standard rates after 12 months,
assuming the customer could afford to keep
paying.
In the past, risk pools have not guaranteed
coverage. States have established waiting
lists to get into their risk pools or restricted
admission to the pools, since they ultimately
have to balance their budget and they have no
way to predict how high costs will climb.
Getting ahead of himself, Trump used the
event as an opportunity to make the case,
none too subtly, that this was a campaign
promise kept.
Make no mistake, this is a repeal and a
replace of Obamacare, Trump said. Make
no mistake about it. Make no mistake.
The event was a sign of how badly they
needed the boost. Trumps travel ban execu-
tive orders have been blocked in the courts,
investigations into his campaigns con-
tacts with Russians have been a big and
ongoing distraction, and hes had to put off
action on a wall at the Mexican border for
now. Trumps first push for the long-prom-
ised health care repeal ended without a vote
and with talk of moving on to a tax over-
haul plan, a startling admission of defeat on
a campaign promise that has animated his
party for seven years.

U.S. trade deficit

narrows in March
By Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The U.S. trade
deficit narrowed in March to the
lowest level since October as both
exports and imports fell. But the
politically sensitive trade gap
with China rose.
The Commerce Department said
Thursday that the gap in goods and
services slipped to $43.7 billion,
down from $43. 8 billion in
February. Exports dropped 0.9 per-
cent to $191 billion, pulled down
by falling auto exports. Imports
fell 0.7 percent $234.7 billion as
imports of crude oil and other
petroleum products slid.
President Donald Trump was
elected on a pledge to reduce
Americas trade deficits, which he
is up more than 7 percent to
$135.6 billion. For all of last
year, the gap exceeded $500 bil-
lion.
A shrinking trade deficit adds to
economic growth. Andrew Hunter,
U.S. economist at Capital
Economics, says the improving
trade picture provided a modest
boost to first-quarter U.S. growth
and may end up being a small pos-
itive in the second quarter too.
The trade deficit in goods with
China rose 7 percent to $24.6 bil-
lion in March from $23 billion in
February on rising imports of
Chinese cellphones and telecom-
munications equipment. The

President limits IRS action

By Catherine Lucey

WASHINGTON Declaring he
was giving churches their voices
back, President Donald Trump
signed an executive order Thursday
aimed at easing an IRS rule limit-
ing political activity for religious
organizations a move that fell
far short of a more sweeping order
some supporters had expected.
As he marked the National Day
of Prayer at the White House on
Thursday, Trump signed the order
on religious freedom, which

tions for political speech. The rule

opponents said the restrictions
have a chilling effect on free

This financial threat against
the faith community is over,
Trump said. He has long promised
the conservative Christian sup-
porters who helped him win the
White House that he would block
the regulation, known as the
Johnson Amendment, though any
repeal would have to be done by
Congress.
The amendment, named for then-
Sen. Lyndon Johnson, was put
into force in 1954.
The policy allows a wide range
of advocacy on political issues,
but in the case of houses of wor-
ship, it bars electioneering and
outright political endorsements
from the pulpit.
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Senate has
delivered to President Donald Trump
the first significant legislation of
his presidency, a bipartisan $1.1
trillion spending bill that would
keep the government running
through September putting off,
for now, battles over Trumps U.S.-
Mexico border wall and his prom-
ised military buildup.
The lopsided, 79-18 Senate vote
sends the huge bill to the White
House in plenty of time to avert a
midnight Friday shutdown deadline.
Negotiators on the bill dropped
Trumps demands for a down pay-
ment on his oft-promised wall
along the U.S.-Mexico border, but
his signature would buy five
months of funding stability while
lawmakers argue over the wall and
over Trumps demands for a huge
military buildup matched by cuts to
popular domestic programs and for-
eign aid accounts.
The House passed the measure
Wednesday on a big bipartisan
vote, though 103 of the chambers
conservative Republicans opposed
the bill.
The White House and its GOP
allies praised $15 billion in addi-
tional Pentagon spending obtained
by Trump and $1.5 billion in emer-
gency border security funds but was
denied funding to begin construc-
tion work on the border wall.
After years of an administration
that failed to get serious on border
security, this bill provides the
largest border-security funding
increase in a decade, said Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., a key negotiator.
And Democrats and the pragmatic
Republicans who negotiated the
bill successfully defended other
accounts targeted by Trump such as
foreign aid, the Environmental
Protection Agency, support for the
arts, and economic development
grants, among others.
The sweeping, 1,665-page bill
also increases spending for NASA,
medical research, and the FBI and
other federal law enforcement agen-
cies.
Democrats also praised the meas-
ure as an example of bipartisan
cooperation in the handling of the
12 annual appropriations bills that
fund the federal government. It
reflects bipartisan culture among
congressional appropriators, who
long ago sorted out many of the
spending fights Trump wants to
renew this summer over foreign
aid, funding for the arts, Amtrak
subsidies, grants to state and local
governments, and development
agencies like the Appalachian
Regional Commission.
On a bipartisan basis, we reject-
ed President Trumps ill-considered
proposal to slash domestic pro-
grams by $15 billion, including
deep cuts for NIH and low-income
energy assistance. Instead, this bill
includes a $2 billion increase for
the National Institutes of Health,
said a top Democratic negotiator,
Sen. Pat Leahy of Vermont, who
called the bill a good deal for the
American people.

t seems theres no escape from a
showdown between far-left and
far-right activists.
Theyve made California, and UC
Berkeley in particular, into a sort of
ground zero for a battle of words and
sometimes more than just words.
While free speech and political cor-
rectness are the hot buttons, some-
thing even broader is at stake.
Americans are anxious and uncertain
about whether we still have what it
takes to practice politics together in a
face-to-face way, not just as members
of contending teams or tribes, but as
fellow citizens. But, in spite of the
many grievances surrounding prior
street clashes and the complicated can-
cellation of an address by Ann Coulter,
the latest encounter between polar
opposites at Berkeley has given
Californians and Americans a good
look at our better angels.
Several days of protests culminated
not in hand-to-hand combat but in the
sort of dialogue and conversation that
national leaders have so often called
for, but rarely been able to lead in an
unscripted and spontaneous way. Such

Raiders move
Editor,
So the Oakland Raiders are soon to
be the Las Vegas Raiders. Oakland has
lost their football team, and maybe
even more. The As want out of the
aging Coliseum, and the Warriors are
denitely moving to San Francisco. It
will probably turn out, that there are
no pro sports teams in Oakland at all
anymore. The foolish people, though,
are the fans, that watch these teams
perform. So its like when the
Raiders are through with Vegas where
will they go next, and whose team will
they be in the future. Will they be the
team for San Antonio, or San Diego or
maybe Salt Lake City? The Raiders can
take their traveling circus anywhere
they want to like the rest of pro sports
teams do, and when they decide to
move again the fans will be like,
What? I thought they were our team; I
had season tickets for 20 years. So
where do the Raiders belong? Are they
Oaklands team, or are they Los
Angeles team or do they represent Las
Vegas? I guess time will only tell.

indeed, often they are. Nevertheless,
amid the current climate of mutual hos-
tility and confronted with the well-
intentioned but reactive brittleness of
Berkeley administrators ultimately
unwilling to risk what activists on
both sides were able to last weeks
peacefully interactive protests gently
threw down an unexpected gauntlet to
campuses across the country.
As campuses have become fraught,
paralyzed places, the gatherings at
Berkeley have raised the question of
whether a better social education will
have to be found elsewhere, or at least
outside the auspices of our institutions
of higher learning.
To be sure, while some agitators and
provocateurs have a vested profession-
al interest in seeing crowds pushed to
the breaking point, if not beyond, too
many colleges and universities have
spent years tying themselves into the
kind of emotional and political knots
that beg for a cathartic moment, how-
ever angry, to cut people loose. A half-
revolutionary, half-bureaucratic move-
ment to sanitize and control all inter-
action has gone too far, and more in a
social way than a political one.
I think honest, hard-working gun
owners need places of refuge from left-
leaning politicians who keep waving
their legislative wands, hoping to
make all guns not in a peace ofcers
holster magically disappear.
Most of these hard-working owners
guns are merely displayed in collec-
tors homes, or just used for fun at the
target range or even managing wildlife
rather than leaving it to Mother Nature
to cull overpopulated herds with her
cruel methods of disease, starvation
when an accident occurs, all the roads
and inghting. I mean, these guns
have no current connection to the
other metals found in the foundries
from which they were once forged, so
they dont want to be sent back there
to be repurposed into wind turbines,
low emission vehicles or solar panels.
They need safe havens, where they
need not worry about well-meaning
liberal laws that have no effect on the
bad guns out there: the truly illegal
guns really dont care how many laws
you pass ... theyre coming to shoot
you anyway.
These guns just need their safe
spaces where one can decide which
laws to obey, and which not to, based
on their own conscience rather than
work to change existing laws.

OPINION
Correctness today too often means
far more than observing the right
political pieties. It pushes deep into
the intimate details of students and
others lives, hearts and minds, taking
on an authoritarian cast that isnt
diminished by administrators sense
that justice or sensitivity might
demand it.
Meanwhile, everyday Americans,
often possessed of relatively extreme
or unusual opinions, have found a way
absent organized violence from
antifa anarchists to sidestep the
toxic cloud of campus anxiety and take
one another as they nd them: as
human beings who share deep con-
cerns that America has wound up at a
crossroads where politics as usual cant
continue without breaking down.
Theirs is a spirit and a practice that
ought to be second nature to adminis-
trators and students on any campus
certainly at Berkeley, where the con-
temporary free speech movement
began in earnest during wildly more
troubled and dangerous times.
If colleges and universities can no
longer provide students and the rest
of us with a basic model of free citi-
zenship, weve learned in the past
week not to lose hope that we can still
count on one another to deliver.
Area near Broadway
Plaza plan already crowded
Editor,
I work in Redwood City just around
the corner where Broadway Plaza will
be undergoing renovations and will be
assessed. I can tell you with all this
high-density housing that is now pres-
ent in Redwood City that one more
will add to the congestion of this city.
The Woodside exit is very tricky and
leaving/leading to Highway 101 are
congested.
One day when I left work and drove
down Marshall Street, I encountered a
pedestrian looking/using her smart-
phone intently, stepped onto the safe-
ty zone without checking if she had a
green light (she had a red light). I had
to slam on my brakes and prayed the
guy behind me did not hit my car. She
casually looked up at me as if to say
she had the right of way then looked
to see her light was red, but continued
to leisurely nish her walk.
Pedestrians should adhere to common
safety standards to keep themselves
and drivers safe. This is becoming all
too frequent.

was interested in seeing his joint show with Matisse.
By the way, the connection between the two was a bit of
a stretch but that is not the point of this column.
What is the point, you may ask? Well, it is our collec-
tive inability to disconnect and its potential ramifica-
tions on our culture, our society and all of us as individ-
uals.
I derived this concept not
necessarily from this show,
or even my overall experi-
ence that day. Its been a
growing sense, and this day
proved to be a good example.
At the crowded show, there
were plenty of people enjoy-
ing the art, talking about it,
reading about it, listening to
some kind of audio tour. But
for nearly every one of them,
there was someone else on
their phones perhaps texting,
emailing or scrolling. If
someone pays money to get into the SFMOMA, and
more to get into this particular show, why would they
then spend time on their phones? They could have been
live tweeting about it to their followers, but I doubt it.
Not sure what they were doing, but I found it odd.
Its not even the money spent, but rather you are in
the presence of some really good art and I think that
should be enough to hold ones attention.
Yet I believe there is a compulsion to check in and see
what else is out there through the window of a handheld
smartphone. This, I believe, is unhealthy.
After the show, I thought it might be nice to show my
daughter the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial fountain
just to the west of the MOMA. I am a big fan of Martin
Luther King Jr., and so is she (imagine that). Once
there, people were walking through it with us but again
with the phones. At the grassy open space area, where
there were people of all sorts lounging and enjoying the
day, approximately two-thirds of them were on some
sort of electronic device. Granted, electronic devices
have taken over what may have been typically seen in
decades past at a park radios, books, newspapers
but the sight of so many people on such a nice day
with their heads down staring at screens was startling.
The idea of disconnecting and enjoying the world
directly in front of you and the people immediately with
you is well-plowed terrain by thinkers of all levels
from columns in The Atlantic to parents saying put
your phone down at the dinner table, yet it is some-
thing about which I worry.
The compulsion is sometimes an addiction, and we are
rewarded through texts, emails, likes and retweets.
Those who design phone apps do so to keep us coming
back like a slot machine or a narcotic and it makes me
nervous. People of my age (Gen X) like to say its those
Millennials but its not, it is all of us. Perhaps because
of our overall and enduring inability to make sense of
the messy world, we seek ways to quantify our existence
through the number of our Facebook friends, our credit
score, the amount in our savings or investment
accounts, the streak of our Snapchats, the number of
likes on our tweets. We can look at these numbers and
say yes, what I am matters.
The compulsion toward social media is also skewing
our existence because our natural tendencies force us
into an echo chamber in which we follow people who
share our views. We take an opinion on something
because someone we follow says we should, even
though what they post is often crafted to generate views
and followers rather than seeking to truly inform.
It worries me. Not just because people are starting to
look like zombies all around me but also there is little
depth provided in scrolling, scrolling, scrolling as a
compulsion looking for something to hold our atten-
tion for a short while or something to post ourselves to
make us feel as if we are a part of the world.
It worries me because the real world is right there
around us and we can enjoy it for the qualitative and wor-
risome and amazing and wondrous thing it is. There is
something to be said for that, and there, I said it.

Plunging oil prices weigh on stocks

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Oil prices and
energy companies plunged
Thursday, but other stocks didnt
move much as investors waited
for more signs about the state of
the economy.
Household goods makers and
health care companies rose fol-
lowing some solid company earn-
ings reports. Most other parts of
the market made little gains, but
energy companies took sharp
losses as the price of crude oil fell
almost 5 percent. That was its
biggest one-day loss in about two
months.
We may be seeing signs that
global production is strong, and
whenever markets see a decline in
oil prices they worry its actually
an indication of weak demand,
said Kate Warne, an investment
strategist for Edward Jones.
Warne said oil prices have
slipped recently because of an
accumulation of concerns about
rising energy production in the
U.S. and slower economic growth
in both the U.S. and China.
Health care stocks didnt react
much to the narrow passage in the
House of Representatives of a bill
intended to roll back much of for-
mer President Barack Obamas

heads to the Senate, where its fate
is less certain.

travel after passenger incidents pensation to a California family

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Air travel in
the United States has become a
combustible mix in which passen-
gers arent the only ones treated
unfairly, senators were told
Thursday. Travelers all too fre-
quently take out their frustrations
on airline employees, including
flight attendants and gate agents,
speakers said at a Senate hearing.
Senators from both parties said
airlines must improve the way
they treat their passengers, but
they also said airline employees
must be treated with respect.
Lawmakers also revived talk of a
congressionally imposed
Passenger Bill of Rights.
The Senate hearing comes after a
passenger was dragged off a United
Express flight last month and a
separate incident on American
Airlines in which a mother with a
stroller was bullied by a flight
attendant. Videos of both inci-
dents were widely circulated on
social media.
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said air
travelers frequently tell him they
feel like theyre being treated as
self-loading cargo rather than as
valued consumers.
Passengers are so fed up that
they are becoming amateur detec-
tives, Nelson said, using their
cellphones to record incidents
such as the removal of United pas-
senger David Dao and the heated
confrontation on the American
flight.
Widely shared video of a blood-
ied Dao being dragged from the
United flight, which he had refused
to leave, sparked worldwide out-
rage and led to calls for a congres-
sional crackdown on U.S. airlines.
I take no pleasure in beating up
the airlines, but in this case, its
warranted, said Nelson, the top
Democrat on the Transportation
Committee. The fact is we would-
nt be sitting here today if the trav-
eling public believed the airlines
cared more about them than their
own bottom lines.
that says they were forced off a
plane and threatened with jail after
refusing to give up one of their
seats on a crowded flight.
A video of the April 23 incident
was uploaded to YouTube on
Wednesday and added to the list of
recent encounters on airlines that
have gone viral, including the
dragging of a bloodied passenger
off a United Express plane.
Brian and Brittany Schear of
Huntington Beach, California,
told KABC-TV in Los Angeles that
they were returning from Hawaii
with their two toddlers. They
wanted to put one of the children
in a seat they had bought for their
18-year-old son, who instead flew
home on an earlier flight.
Delta says on its website that
long as the new passengers name
can be run through a data base
before the flight, according to a
Transportation Security
Administration spokesman.
By late Thursday afternoon,
Delta still had not explained why
the Schears were removed from the
plane. A spokesman said the flight
was not overbooked.
On the video, Brian Schear can
be heard talking with a person off-
camera it is not clear whether
that person is a Delta employee, a
security officer, or somebody else.
After Schear says that he wont

Iraqi paramilitary troops rest in the ancient city of Hatra, south of Mosul, Iraq.
Iraq, United States in talks to keep
American troop presence after IS
By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
and Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD Prime Minister Haider
al-Abadi is in talks with the Trump
administration to keep American
troops in Iraq after the fight against the
Islamic State group in the country is
concluded, according to a U.S. official
and an official from the Iraqi govern-
ment.
Both officials underlined that the dis-
cussions are ongoing and that nothing
is finalized. But the talks point to a
consensus by both governments that,
in contrast to the U.S. withdrawal in
2011, a longer-term presence of
American troops in Iraq is needed to
ensure that an insurgency does not bub-
ble up again once the militants are driv-
en out.
There is a general understanding on
both sides that it would be in the long-
term interests of each to have that con-
tinued presence. So as for agreement,
yes, we both understand it would be
mutually beneficial. That we agree on,
the U.S. official said.
Both officials spoke on condition of

anonymity in line with regulations.
The talks involve U.S. Secretary of
Defense Jim Mattis and Iraqi officials
over what the long-term U.S. presence
would look like, the American official
said, adding that discussions were in
early stages and nothing has been
finalized.
U.S. forces in Iraq would be stationed
inside existing Iraqi bases in at least
five locations in the Mosul area and
along Iraqs border with Syria, the Iraqi
government official said. They would
continue to be designated as advisers to
dodge the need for parliamentary
approval for their presence, he said.
He said al-Abadi is looking to install
a modest Iraqi military presence in
Mosul after the fight against the
Islamic State group is concluded along
with a small number of U.S. forces. The
forces would help control security in
the city and oversee the transition to a
political administration of Mosul, he
said.
The U.S. official emphasized that
there were no discussions of creating
independent American bases in Iraq, as
such a move would require thousands
more personnel. He said the troops lev-

els would be several thousand ... simi-
lar to what we have now, maybe a little
more.
Currently, the Pentagon has close to
7,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, many not
publicly acknowledged because they are
on temporary duty or under specific per-
sonnel rules. The forces include troops
training Iraqi forces, coordinating
airstrikes and ground operations, and
special forces operating on the front
lines.
The news comes as Iraqi forces are
struggling to push IS fighters out of a
cluster of neighborhoods in western
Mosul that mark the last patch of sig-
nificant urban terrain the group holds in
Iraq, nearly three years after the mili-
tants overran nearly a third of the coun-
try.
Such an agreement would underscore
how the fight against IS has drawn the
U.S. into a deepening role in Iraq.
At the height of the surge of U.S.
forces in 2007 to combat sectarian vio-
lence that nearly tore Iraq apart, there
were about 170,000 American troops in
the country. The numbers were wound
down eventually to 40,000 before the
complete withdrawal in 2011.

Rex Tillerson urges SE
Asia to minimize North
Korean diplomatic ties
By Matthew Pennington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on
Thursday pressed Southeast Asian governments to ensure
leak-proof enforcement of sanctions
against North Korea and to prevent the
pariah nations diplomats from conduct-
ing business that could benefit its
weapons programs.
Tillerson called on foreign ministers
of the 10-nation Association of
Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, to
minimize the diplomatic relations
Rex Tillerson with Pyongyang, so that North Korea
does not gain benefit from its diplomat-
ic channels for its nuclear and missile aspirations, senior
State Department official Patrick Murphy said after
Thursdays meeting at the State Department.
That was the latest salvo in the Trump administrations
push to get the international community to intensify diplo-
matic and economic pressure on North Korea to dismantle
its nuclear weapons program before it can pose a direct
threat to the American mainland.
Although China, North Koreas traditional ally and main
trading partner, is viewed as the key lever of international
influence, Southeast Asian nations have diplomatic rela-
tionships with Pyongyang and small-scale trade ties, and
have sometimes served as conduits for North Korean activ-
ities that violate U.N. sanctions.
Trump to visit Israel, Saudi
Arabia, Vatican, meet pope
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said Thursday
his first foreign trip as president will feature stops in Saudi
Arabia, Israel and the Vatican, where he will meet with Pope
Francis, an ambitious foray onto the world stage that will
include meetings with NATO and a summit in Italy.
Senior administration officials said Trump chose Saudi
Arabia as his first stop to show his commitment to improv-
ing U.S. relations with the Muslim world. Trump will meet
with Saudi Arabias King Salman and other leaders where
they are expected to discuss efforts to defeat terrorism and
discredit radical ideologies, the officials said, speaking on
condition of anonymity to describe internal planning.
Trump, joining religious leaders in the Rose Garden on
Thursday, said his first foreign trip would begin with a
truly historic gathering in Saudi Arabia with leaders all
across the Muslim world.
Saudi Arabia is the custodian of the two holiest sites in
Islam and it is there that we will begin to construct a new
foundation of cooperation and support with our Muslim
allies to combat extremism, terrorism and violence and to
embrace a more just and hopeful future for young Muslims
in their countries, Trump said.

ance while three volunteers scramble to
corral the focus of seven third-graders at
the brink of overheating.
The occasionally chaotic Piano Prodigy
students snap to attention at the firm direc-
tion of Norma Tarrow, who launched the
program three years ago in an effort to
share her musical knowledge and talent.
The program has grown in enrollment
each year and its inaugural class will per-
form a final recital Friday, May 5, for
friends and family. The approaching cross-
roads presented Tarrow a chance to reflect
on her brainchilds legacy.
We feel like we have created a genera-
tion of 35 kids who are going to be
pianists, said Tarrow, of the class she runs
with fellow volunteers Annette Rappleyea
and Miyuki Tanaka.
The three met while taking piano classes
at College of San Mateo, and Tarrow quick-
ly recruited her colleagues to help run the
program she was inspired to create after
discovering a stockpile of unused key-
boards when volunteering at the school as
a reading coach.
Tarrow initially agreed the program
would serve three classes, but enrollment
expanded by two more sessions due to pop-
ular demand. As a result, the three coordina-
tors take turns running continuous classes
on an almost weekly basis from about
noon until 4 p.m.
For a nominal fee plus a promise to prac-
tice at home, five classes of seven students
are offered 45-minute lessons teaching
them to read music, compose original
works, play from a sheet or transpose,
which is to perform songs in a different
pitch.
Some of the lessons learned move far
beyond the realm of technical proficiency
in tickling the ivory, said Rappleyea, a
retired physics professor who formerly
worked at City College of San Francisco.
There are a lot of life lessons in piano,
she said. Theyve learned more patience
cooperation, listening, taking turns and
something about this just brings them
together.
The program is a labor of love for the
volunteers who balance their teaching

preventing students from switching
sounds on their instruments to bang out
shrill noise.
We all just love working with kids.
Even though it is chaotic, it is energizing
after we recover, said Rappleyea.
Tanaka, an accomplished pianist in her
native Japan, agreed the endeavor is equal-
ly exhausting and invigorating for the
teachers.
It is challenging but also very fun, she
said.
Student attention unfailingly wanders,
especially in high heat, presenting poten-
tially taxing moments that can also be
seized as a chance for inspiration by an
enterprising instructor.

when, during recital practice, a majority of
the class playing My Country, Tis Of

Volleyball legend Walsh Jennings will skip AVP tour
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Five-time Olympian Kerri Walsh
Jennings is looking for a new partner
and a new beach volleyball tour after
rejecting an exclusivity agreement with the
AVP that would have locked her into the cir-
cuit through the 2020 Summer Games in
Tokyo.
In her first public comments since break-
ing with the biggest, richest and longest-
running domestic tour, Walsh Jennings told
the Associated Press on Thursday that the
deal lacked the vision to grow the game and
was a death sentence for our sport. Among
her complaints: an eight-stop circuit, with

Carlmont (10-1 PAL Bay, 20-3-1 overall)

Defending Harden is a chess match worth watching

By Cliff Brunt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY Oklahoma City
swingman Andre Roberson often was
praised by his coach and teammates for
playing suffocating defense on James
Harden during their first-round playoff
series.
Houstons MVP candidate still averaged
33.2 points against the Thunder in the five-
game series.
Hardens versatility is a nightmare for top
perimeter defenders in the league. Crowd
him, and he goes by them. Play off him to
cut off driving lanes, and hell often raise up
and shoot a 3-pointer.
Then there is Hardens knack for drawing
contact and getting to the free throw line
he averaged 15 foul shots per game against
the Thunder.
I think thats one of the hardest things,
and I think hes tough to guard, but ... Im
going to just hold back, Roberson said of
guarding Harden without fouling him.
So thats how teams try to defend Harden
carefully.
The Spurs kept Harden off the line
Wednesday night in Game 2 of their second-
round series with the Rockets, limiting him
to six attempts. Harden struggled from the
floor, shooting just 3-for-17, yet he had 10

assists and seven rebounds.
When one aspect of his offensive game
goes south, he always has another option.
Hes 6-foot-5 with strength and quickness
to create mismatches. He was third in the
league in made 3-pointers during the regular
season. He shot and made more free throws
SOOBUM IM/USA TODAY SPORTS
than anyone else in the league this season,
and he hit 85 percent.
Harden also led the league in assists.
He might be the hardest player to guard
in the entire league, Golden State coach
Steve Kerr said. If not the hardest, hes in
the top few because of the problems he pres-
ents you as a point guard. A guy with that
kind of size, ability to shoot threes, gets to
the rim and hes a brilliant passer.
Warriors guard Klay Thompson said he
expects Harden to put up big numbers when
he plays against him.
Theres not many weaknesses,
Thompson said. You dont want to get him
going because its easy to get a rhythm
when youre a scorer and you get to the free-
throw line. Youve just got to stay disci-
plined and keep your arms back and just
make him beat you over the top and live
with it.
Thats the typical scene watching a
Rockets game: defenders who prefer to be
aggressive with their hands up in the air,
seemingly waiting to react to Hardens next
move. And when he is able to put defenders
on their heels and dictate what comes next,
theres a long night ahead.
Houston guard Patrick Beverley said
Hardens ability to draw fouls is a skill that
has been developed over time. He said
Hardens awareness on the court is underrat-
ed, and getting free-throw opportunities is a
part of it.
You know how a player is playing you,
he said. Its different with each team. He
does a great job of getting to the line. That
all comes from IQ and feel for the game. He
has a great feel for the game.

World No. 1 Johnson returns to action, trails by four

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WILMINGTON, N.C. Six weeks away
from competition didnt keep Dustin
Johnson from extending one streak Thursday,
with hopes of adding to another.
Johnson showed more game than rust at the
Wells Fargo Championship, where he missed
only two greens and plenty of putts for
a 2-under 70 that left him four shots behind
leader Francesco Molinari at blustery Eagle
Point Golf Club.
It was Johnsons 13th consecutive round at
par or better.
Johnson wasnt as flawless as he looked
while winning three straight tournaments,
though he had few complaints under the cir-
cumstances. It was his first time playing
since he slipped in his socks down the stairs
at his rental house in Augusta, hurting his
back and knocking him out of the Masters.
Since I hadnt played in so long, Im
happy with the way I played, Johnson said.
I didnt score that great, didnt really hole
that many putts, but other than that, I played
really well. I think I hit 16 greens and I hit the
ball great.
No one was sure what to expect at Eagle
Point, where the Wells Fargo Championship
moved this year because its traditional venue,
Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, is hosting
the PGA Championship in August.
On greens that were slightly softer and as
pure as can be, Molinari ran off five birdies in
a seven-hole stretch on the front nine and
closed out his round with a 20-foot birdie putt
on the par-5 18th.
That gave him a one-shot lead over Alex
Noren of Sweden, J.B. Holmes, Grayson
Murray and Brian Campbell.

their attack from behind the M-A goal, using Sonsini and Jack
Crockett to make a run to the front of the net and then make a
pass to a cutting teammate or to the weakside of the goal.
To beat them, we had to move the ball around, Rotelli said.
We were patient and unselsh on offense.
With under ve minutes left in the opening period, the
Gators doubled their lead to 2-0. Tinsley worked his way
toward the goal from the wing before dropping a pass back to
Crockett, who had lled the slot and red it home.
But the Bears got right back into the game less than a minute
later. Jack Hansen took a restart following a SHP penalty and
walked in on goal, nally beating SHP goaltender Cody Weibe
with 3:59 left in the period.
Weibe would end up with 12 saves on the day.
With 3:02 left, M-As Devin Dondas tied the score at 2 on a
wrap-around goal.
SHP, however, snagged the momentum back before the end
of the quarter when, with just over two minutes left, Thomas
Wine found Sonsini with a cross-eld pass, moving the ball
from the left to right post where Sonsini buried a one-timer for
a 3-2 SHP lead after one quarter.
Momentum is a tricky thing, Kryger said. It comes and
goes over the course of the game.
SHP took control of the game in the second quarter, outscor-

ing the Bears 3-0 to lead 6-2 at halftime. Sonsini picked up his
third goal of the game, crashing the weak-side right post and
taking a feed from Wilson Weisel. The Gators increased their
lead to 5-2 just over a minute later, when Ted Vought fed
Crockett in front of the net for his second goal of the game.
Barnds rounded out the rst-half scoring when he took a pass
on the wing from Crockett, shook his defender with a move
that would make Steph Curry smile and buried his attempt.
We gave them a few extra passes, Kryger said.
Tinsley scored early in the third to up SHPs lead to 7-2
before M-A nally broke a 22-minute scoreless drought when
Disibio converted a Wolf pass for the Bears rst goal since the
rst period.
The Gators got the goal back just before the end of the third,
with Crockett getting his hat trick off an assist from Vought to
give SHP an 8-3 lead going into the nal period.
M-A nally found some creases and space in the SHP defense
over the nal 12 minutes, getting off 11 shots. But they could
only manage two goals one each from Ojeda and Wolf.
Tinsley capped the scoring for SHP with the play of the
game. As he took the ball in from the wing, an M-A defender
stepped up to check his progress. Tinsley spun off the contact,
turning 360 degrees and whipped a shot past a stunned
Waymire.
Theyre all sort of playoff games now, said Rotelli, whose
team will face rival Menlo School in next weeks season

his lesson about fueling the All-Star forward.
Green has been fueling himself just fine, and his team-
mates, too delivering on the offensive side this game
after establishing the Warriors defensive intensity during
the first five playoff games.
All his 3s were in the first half as the Warriors led wire to
wire again. Golden States six straight victories to begin a
postseason are a franchise record.
Green also had seven rebounds, six assists, four steals and
another block to bring his six-game playoff total to 20.
The Jazz will have to hope more of their shots start falling
once back home at altitude.
Hayward began 1 for 5 but bounced back after going 4 for
15 in Game 1.
Utah cut the lead to six on Rodney Hoods jumper with
9:55 remaining in the third and trailed by 10 heading into
the final 12 minutes. The Warriors went on a 5-0 run and the
Jazz couldnt do much more to threaten.
Shelvin Mack started in Hills place and scored 14.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr missed his fourth straight game
as he deals with symptoms stemming from complications
after two back surgeries following the 2015 championship
run. Kerr wont travel with the team to Utah as he seeks
answers in his healing and goes to medical appointments.
Mike Brown and a veteran coaching staff are leading the
way.

But the sports efforts to establish a stable
U.S. tour have left it running in the sand.
Beach volleyball athletes have quarreled
with USA Volleyball, arguing that the
national governing bodys efforts were
skewed toward the indoor game. The AVP
twice declared bankruptcy, and since emerg-
ing from the second reorganization it has
found itself in competition with the NVL,
even though all agree that one, stable tour
would be best for the sport. And, when the
NCAA considered adding beach volleyball
to its list of sanctioned programs, among
the opponents were indoor volleyball
coaches who were afraid of losing their top
athletes to the sandier, sexier side of the
sport.
Walsh Jennings, who has been at the fore-
front of many of these fights, said her goal
remains to do whats best for her sport. As
its most visible and marketable athlete, at
least in the United States, she is able to
make a living by relying on endorsement
deals others dont have.

boycott an event last summer.

ASSAULT
Continued from page 13
hospitalized in 2015 with rectal injuries after he was sodom-
ized with a coat hanger. Parents of a Vermont athlete blamed his
2012 suicide on distress a year after teammates sodomized him
with a broom.
Its amazing to me that there hasnt been a public outcry on
this to help stop it, said Hank Nuwer, a hazing historian at
Franklin College in Indiana.
Choice of wording minimizes severity
The acts meet federal law enforcement definitions of rape and
sexual assault, but language used by schools and coaches
shrouds the problem and minimizes its severity. It also can
influence whether off-campus authorities hold anyone account-
able.
Language is everything, said B. Elliot Hopkins, a sports
safety expert at the National Federation of State High School
Associations. If anyone knew that their kid was going to run
the risk of being sexually assaulted to be part of a team, we
wouldnt have anyone playing any sports.
In the Georgia case, five to eight upperclassmen on the
Parkview High School baseball team near Atlanta barged into
the hotel rooms of freshmen teammates during an out-of-state
tournament in 2015. One boy had fingers shoved through his
shorts into his rectum, according to state education discipli-
nary records, and two others fought off similar assaults.
In disciplinary proceedings months later, the upperclassmen
didnt challenge the evidence but described what they did as
wrestling and horse playing.
A draft public statement from the Gwinnett County Public
Schools initially said a players family had reported he was
sexually assaulted, records AP obtained show. But the final
version referred only to inappropriate physical contact.
When asked, district officials said that wording was more
inclusive of the diversity of the types of misconduct
alleged.
Coaches share some blame
AP also found multiple cases where coaches fostered the
opportunity for misconduct through poor supervision. Others
became aware of misbehavior but treated it as a team discipli-
nary matter. Some failed to do anything.
In Tennessee, a freshman basketball player at Ooltewah High
School, outside Chattanooga, told a coach that upperclassmen
used a pool cue to sexually assault him and others at the teams
cabin during an out-of-town tournament trip in 2015, records
show.
Despite that warning, two upperclassmen went on to pin
another boy down on a bed while a third one thrust a pool cue
into his rectum, the records show. Coaches, who were else-
where in the cabin at the time, heard him scream and drove him
to a hospital after seeing him bleeding. The boy needed emer-
gency surgery to repair a damaged bladder, colon and rectal
wall.
A nurse, not the coaches, contacted authorities.
Investigators said the head coach instructed players at some
point to stay quiet. At the teams cabin, the head coachs wife
cleaned up and threw away the boys soiled clothing, essen-
tially erasing evidence of the crime, investigators said.
The head coach and other school officials said in legal
responses they didnt know about the violence or seek to with-
hold information. The coach and his wife, who was not
charged, did not respond to messages.
If this boy had not gone to the hospital, had he not been
bleeding, nobody would have known about this, said Eddie
Schmidt, a lawyer representing the players family.
Not harmless hose play
Experts say players are indoctrinated to abusive team cultures
when theyre new, transition into bystanders seeing others
harmed and sometimes become attackers themselves, feeling a
form of duty to uphold team tradition.
Some players may think enduring such acts builds team
toughness, but more often, older players use sexual violence to
exert dominance over newer or smaller boys vying for the ros-
ter, said Susan Lipkins, a New York psychologist and author
who specializes in sports attacks.
Whats worse for a young jock than to be emasculated to the
lowest level, to be like a girl? she said.
Athletes who are sexually assaulted feel particularly pres-
sured to keep quiet, experts say, because they fear speaking up
or risk team success by getting other players in trouble.
Amanda Jacksons son waited two years to tell her what he
said he experienced as a freshman at Capital High School in
Olympia, Washington.
After showering at a 2010 basketball camp, he was tackled
by four upperclassmen who tried to penetrate him with their
fingers, according to his deposition in the familys pending
lawsuit against the school district.
I felt like if I told someone, then I would have been, you
know, excluded from the team and not able to play varsity bas-
ketball, he testified.
A psychological evaluation conducted as part of the lawsuit
showed he exhibited post-traumatic stress symptoms.
I want to get everything out there so people understand this
is not normal, his mother said.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
AT HOME WITH ARTS & GALLERY IN MENLO PARK. Frances
CRAFTS, AT THE SAN FRANCISCO
AIRPORT MUSEUM. The arts and crafts
movement emerged in England in the 1880s
in response to the Industrial Revolution and
mass-produced, machine-made objects. The
movement emphasized a return to hand
craftsmanship. Inspired by the writings of
John Ruskin (1819-1900), who exalted the
medieval craft guild system, artist and
designer William Morris (1834-1896)
served as the movements spearhead. Arts
and crafts advocates rejected the ornate
designs and compositions of Victorian-era
interiors. Instead, they encouraged quality
materials and construction with simple
forms and motifs derived from nature.
The arts and crafts movement soon spread
to the United States where Gustav Stickley
(1858-1942), a leading proponent of the
arts and crafts movement in the United
States, batch-produced unadorned, carefully
constructed, oak furniture in Syracuse, New
York. His company also offered textiles and
metalwork. California quickly embraced and
created its own regional variations of arts
and crafts. A number of leading artisans
called the state home; many of them lived
and worked in San Francisco. Dirk van Erp
(1862-1933), considered the finest copper-
smith of the arts and crafts era, crafted table
lamps with hand-hammered copper bases
accented by mica shades, which produced a
warm, amber glow when lit. Arts and crafts
reached its apex from the 1890s to the out-
break of World War I, though the style con-
tinued to appear into the 1920s and 30s.
At Home With Arts & Crafts at the San
Francisco Airport Museum features a rich
assortment of arts and crafts furnishings,
from Gustav Stickley textiles to Dirk van
Erp copper, and art pottery by makers such
as Rookwood and Paul Revere Pottery. The
exhibit may be see without charge at the San
Francisco Airport International Terminal,

and its ever-growing plans for total multi-
plex domination. Star Lord wasnt exactly a
household name, and neither was Chris
Pratt.
Now as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
prepares for launch in North American the-
aters on Friday, the story is quite different.
Guardians of the Galaxy was a huge criti-
cal and financial success, grossing over
$773 million worldwide, Pratt became an
international star, and Gunn was given the
greenlight to do what he wanted once more
making Vol. 2 as weird and wild and
idiosyncratic as his imagination would
allow. Many reviewers have already called
Vol. 2 better than the first, the monosyl-
labic Baby Groot is already a breakout star,
and its headed for a possible $140 million
to $150 million opening weekend.
So many sequels are not good, Gunn
said. We really tried to let these characters
grow and change. ... I didnt want it to be a
rehash of the first movie.
Gunn likes to say that Vol. 2 is an
adventure film, a comedy and a space opera
tied up into one brightly colored package,
but that at its core, its a family melodrama.
A lot of big action and sci-fi films claim to
be about family whether its the people
youre tied to by blood or the ones you
choose but its often a lot of talk.

gumbo.
Its a soupy, silly spectacle that recalls, if
nothing else, the weird, kaleidoscopic

his song Flashlight), and a neon-colored
cast with its own Mothership.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
Five things you dont know
about Baby Groot of Guardians
1. Groot apparently took on various duties behind the
camera. Stay tuned through the closing credits of
Guardians, Vol. 2 to spot Groots contributions
throughout. Groots name appears throughout the
credits in graphics, special effects and various other
departments which are worth sitting through for
the inevitable Marvel movie-endingEaster eggsthat
hint at future action.
2. Baby Groot is an unofficial Earth Day ambassador.
Marvel, which considers Groot to be the galaxys top
tree, joined with the Disney Conservation Fund and
the Nature Conservancy to plant a tree every time the
hashtag #GrootDanceBomb shows up on social media.
Marvel aims to donate $250,000 by the time the film
opens Friday.
3. Baby Groots sweet appearance belies his terrible
temper. Hes completely adorable, but has a lot
more anger issues than adult Groot did, says
have a talking tree and a wise-cracking,
machine gun-toting raccoon and an unpar-
alleled glee for the art of teasing, but its
also got a big, beating heart that actually
hit quite close to home for both Pratt and
Gunn.
Pratts Star Lord/Peter Quill meets his
father Ego (Kurt Russell) for the first time
in Guardians 2 after a lifetime of explain-
ing away his absence telling people that
his father was David Hasselhoff, while
being raised by the scoundrel Ravager,
Yondu (Michael Rooker).
A lot of the story, which also includes a
sisterly rivalry that has veered into the
murderous zone, is drawn from Gunns rela-
tionship with his father, a recovering alco-
holic who has been sober for 20 years, and
Bautistas muscle-mound Drax declares early
on. Those who dance and those who do
not. In the Guardians universe, which
blithely mocks just about everything, this
is close to a mission statement. Whereas
the first film featured Chris Pratts Peter
Quill on a faraway planet bopping to
Redbones Come and Get Your Love, the
early scenes of Vol. 2 find the Guardians
battling some giant monster while Baby
Groot the extraterrestrial tree turned
sapling (voiced by Vin Diesel) grooves
to ELOs Mr. Blue Sky.
The Guardians universe, made up of such
ironies and oddities, worships at the altar of
incongruity. Referenced within are
Cheers, Mary Poppins, Looking Glass
Brandy (Youre a Fine Girl), David
Hasselhoff and Fleetwood Macs The
Chain. Its the kind of wacked-out tapestry
that even Lindsey Buckingham would find
head-spinning.
While Quill resembles a classic Han Solo-
like hero, his fellow Guardians Zoe
Saldanas green-skinned Gamora, the caus-
tic, Bradley Cooper-voiced raccoon Rocket,
Drax and Groot are a multi-species band
writer-director James Gunn.
4. Co-starring alongside actors Dave Bautista and Chris
Pratt, who both stand over 6 feet, Baby Groot proved
to be a challenge for the cinematographers framing
the shots. They used a sculpture of the 10-inch
diminutive character, which was created entirely in CGI
for the film, and special camera rigging to capture Baby
Groots perspective amid the other superheroes.
5. Franchise star Pratt, who plays Guardians leader Star-
Lord, knew early on in the filming that he could be
upstaged by his tiny co-star. During the opening
sequence, while the Guardians battle a massive, multi-
jawed space slug, the camera stays focused on a
dancing Baby Groot in the foreground. Gunn recalled
Pratt looking over at the sculpture of Groot in the scene
and saying, Damn it, hes going to steal the whole
movie.
what he calls his big, lovingly dysfunc-
tional Irish Catholic family. And even
though its his life on the page, there was
one person he needed to get to sign off from
first: Pratt.
Pratts father died in 2014 after battling
multiple sclerosis for years a condition
the once hard-working, tough love, mans
man Dan Pratt refused to treat. In 2015,
Pratt told GQ magazine that it eventually
led to him splitting up with his mother and
living out the rest of his days in front of the
television in assisted living.
(Chris) was the first person I told it to,
thats for sure. When I came up with the
story, Chris came over to my house and I
said, OK, heres what Im thinking
about, Gunn said. I wanted to make sure
of outsiders. No two are alike in tempera-
ment or genetics.
Though they bicker endlessly, theyre a
cobbled-together, multi-species family, just
one more likely to trade insults than hugs.
And the nature of family is at the center of
Vol. 2. Quill, having lost his mother as a
young child in the first film, learns that his
father is a celestial, or deity, named Ego
(Kurt Russell), with a planet of his own cre-
ation. The Guardians meet him after fleeing
the remote-controlled pods that pursue them
when Rocket steals batteries from Ayesha
(Elizabeth Debicki), the High Priestess of
the golden-hued Sovereign race.
Returning is Michael Rookers excellent
Yondu Udonta, who resembles a rejected
audition to the Blue Man Group and controls
a lethal arrow with a whistle. Hes hired to
capture the Guardians, but his character
who raised the orphaned Quill plays an
unexpectedly emotional role in Quills jour-
ney into his past. The effect is similar for
Gamoras sister Nebula, the Guardians furi-
ous prisoner. Others are in the mix, too,
including a brief cameo by Sylvester
Stallone and, more impressively, Chris
THE DAILY JOURNAL
he was onboard with it because, I mean,
theres a lot of personal stuff there. I want-
ed to make sure he was cool with it.
Pratt said he related to the story a lot. His
dad, he said, was not dissimilar to Yondu in
the way he showed love. Cat Stevens
Fathers and Sons even plays at a pivotal
moment.
All of it is completely honest and true
even though its about aliens, Gunn said.
It is honest and true stuff about human
beings and the way we interact and how we
have a hard time accepting love from other
human beings.
This little cobbled-together family is not
disbanding yet, either. Gunn, who has done
nothing else but work with these characters
for the past five years of his life, will con-
tinue stewarding the Guardians through
their trials in Avengers: Infinity War,
where he says they are supporting charac-
ters but not small roles. Hes also signed
on for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,
which will close out that series and launch
Marvel into its next decade.
With the first movie, James earned
Disneys trust, Pratt said recently. On the
second movie he was like, Im going to do
whatever I want with all of your money.
And they said, OK. And he made the crazi-
est movie.
Gunn even said he was a little timid on
the first film, but not anymore.
Im a little punk rock kid who likes edgy
stuff. I thought what I liked might not be
what the entire world likes, Gunn said.
But Ive come to trust that what I like
works.
Sullivans mutinying, unfortunately named
pirate Taserface.
All of the names, though, are kind of
joke, as is much of the plot (batteries?), the
planets and, well, the whole operation. In
one scene, an escaping ship shoots through
so many hyper-speed portals that their faces
go bug-eyed like Looney Tunes characters,
maybe revealing the films underlying
DNA.
But while this Guardians of the Galaxy
has no earnest belief in its sci-fi theatrics
(the credits action scene is largely just blur-
ry background to Baby Groots dancing), it
believes surprisingly sincerely in its char-
acters inner lives, the ones buried beneath
their sarcastic exteriors. Guardians takes
place further in the reaches of the galaxy
than any other Marvel movie, yet its the
most earthbound. In the words of David
Bowie, another space oddity, lets dance.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, a Walt
Disney Co. release, is rated PG-13 by the
Motion Picture Association of America for
intense sequences of sci-fi violence, and
brief suggestive content. Running time:
136 minutes. Three stars out of four.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
Just say I do to food trucks
By Cedar Burnett
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bobby Hughes family was worried
about the food truck. They were used
to sit-down wedding dinners with
towering cakes. But Hughes and his
Colombian bride, Angelica, were
opting for a more relaxed approach
when they asked the owners of a local
food truck to cook up a South
American-inspired menu for their
Houston wedding.
My Texas relatives are meat-and-
potatoes people, Hughes says. So
there was some concern about the
food. I was asked if people should
bring their own sandwiches.
No sandwiches required. Hughes
says his family and other guests
HEALTH
Continued from page 1
deductibles will be coming down, but
very importantly its a great plan.
Democrats countered that the GOP
bill would have the opposite effect
from what Trump predicted, pointing
to estimates it will kick millions off
the insurance roles while imperiling
coverage for people with pre-existing
conditions who had gained protections
under Barack Obamas Affordable Care
Act.
They also forecast that Republicans
will pay a steep political price for
passing legislation thats polled poor-
ly and takes concrete benefits away
while offering only promises of more
choices and lower costs.
You will glow in the dark on this
one, House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi dramatically warned, predicting
Republicans will be radioactive with
voters in the 2018 midterm elections.
Indeed Democrats seemed practically
giddy as the vote closed on the House
floor, jeering at Republicans with
chants of nah, nah, nah, nah, hey,
hey, goodbye an echo of how pro-
testers serenaded Democrats seven
years ago when they passed Obamas
bill.
The GOP health bill would eliminate
the fines Obamas law imposed on
people who dont buy coverage, and
erase tax increases in the Affordable
Care Act on higher-earning people and
the health industry. It would cut the
Medicaid program for low-income
people and let states impose work
requirements on Medicaid recipients.
It would transform Obamas subsidies
for millions buying insurance, now
based largely on their incomes, mak-
ing the funding skimpier and tying it
ended up being impressed with the
custom menu created by Consumed
a self-billed Mobile Food
Dispensary. Normally purveyors of
upscale burgers and fries, the owners
worked with the couple to offer
Argentine empanadas, goat cheese
and pesto-slathered sliders, veggie
tacos and Arepa, a traditional
Columbian flat cornbread topped
with pulled chicken and jicama slaw.
Hughes brother-in-law, Julian
Alvarez, had suggested using the food
truck after learning that the couples
wedding venue didnt have a kitchen.
Alvarez knew the owners of
Consumed from their usual spot out-
side the Down the Street bar, and he
offered to pay for the food as a wed-
ding gift. The couple loved the idea,
to consumers ages.
And states could get federal waivers
freeing insurers from other Obama
coverage requirements. With waivers,
insurers could charge people with pre-
existing illnesses far higher rates than
healthy customers, boost prices for
older people to whatever they wish,
and ignore a mandate that they cover
specified services like pregnancy care.
The bill would block federal pay-
ments to Planned Parenthood for a
year, considered a triumph by many
anti-abortion Republicans.
The Congressional Budget Office
estimated in March that the GOP bill
would end coverage for 24 million
people over a decade. The House voted
without a CBO estimate for the latest
version of their bill.
Although its focused mostly on the
minority of Americans who buy health
coverage in the individual market, the
GOP bill could also significantly
impact the many who are covered by
large employer plans. In one little-
noted provision, employer plans could
take advantage of state flexibility
under the legislation to pick and
choose which states rules to live by.
That could allow them to impose annu-
al and lifetime coverage limits, which
are prohibited under Obamacare, and
get rid of certain annual out-of-pocket
spending caps.
Protesters were on hand again for
Thursdays vote, shouting Shame on
you! Shame on you! and 2018!
2018! as Republicans boarded buses
outside the Capitol to head to the
White House.
Yet as the 2016 election amply
demonstrated, political outcomes can
be difficult to predict. Republicans
argued they would have had a still
heavier price to pay if they failed to
make good on an endlessly repeated
pledge that helped them seize control
of the House, the Senate and the White
Friday May 5, 2017 23
and appreciated not having to ago-
nize over seating arrangements.
Hughes recommends a food truck to
anyone who wants something
relaxed and different, but he says cou-
ples should manage their expecta-
tions.
Its a food truck, he says.
Theyre not going to serve everyone
at the same time, but in the meantime
your guests can have drinks and talk.
It really takes the edge off.
Mei Li, owner of a Boston truck
called Mei Mei , agrees that trucks
add to a casual, fun atmosphere.
Its fun for guests to walk up and
order, she says. Its a new experi-
ence for a lot of people, and adds a
level of excitement and options that
a traditional caterer cant provide.
House in the years since the law
passed.
Back in 2010, the Democrats held
Congress and the White House and
used their majorities to jam through an
unpopular health care law on a partisan
basis, just as Republicans have done
now.
As lawmakers prepared to vote,
House Speaker Paul Ryan told them:
Many of you have been waiting seven
years to cast this vote. Many of you
are here because you pledged to cast
this vote.
They expect us to govern if were
going to be around, Republican Rep.
Dennis Ross of Florida said of voters.
The White House had pushed hard for
a vote, and Trump got personally
involved in last-minute maneuvering.
He helped bring wavering moderates
on board after a deal secured by conser-
vatives last week scared them off by
limiting protections for people with
pre-existing conditions. The final
change, agreed to just Wednesday at
the White House, was to add $8 billion
over five years to help people with
pre-existing conditions, a sum critics
called a relative pittance.
Indeed, despite assurances by GOP
leaders that their legislation would res-
cue a failing health care system, it was
opposed by nearly all medical and con-
sumer groups, from the American
Medical Association to AARP. The
Chamber of Commerce supported the
bill.
The health legislation passed the
House on a banner day for Republicans
on Capitol Hill, as the Senate gave
final congressional approval to a
bipartisan $1.1 trillion spending bill
to keep the government running
through September, and a House com-
mittee approved legislation that would
gut the Democratic-authored Dodd-
Frank law that regulated Wall Street
after the 2008 financial crisis.

bond to pay for the upgrade and design it to
meet sea level rise forecasted in 2050.
I cannot re-emphasize the importance of
this project which will protect the residents
of our community. It has been a detailed and
intense review which has developed our rec-
ommendations on this project which [our]
levee staff team and consultants bring for-
ward with confidence, City Manager Kevin
Miller said in an email.
On Monday, the council will also be
tasked with reviewing an environmental
impact report on the project that was initi-
ated nearly two years ago and will ultimate-
ly require a litany of regulatory permits to
construct along the sensitive Bayfront.
The effort was prompted after the federal
government determined the nearly 8-mile
levee was no longer adequate to withstand a
100-year storm. To avoid being pulled into
the flood zone, now the city is striving to
meet requirements outlined by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
Failing to meet FEMA requirements would
force property owners with federally-backed
mortgages to purchase costly flood insur-
ance. It could also lead traditional lenders to

Contract talks stalled before giving way
to mediated fact finding, which is where
the deadlock sits while teachers rally com-
munity support for their raise request by
hosting demonstrations during morning
student drop-off hours.
Despite the frustration shown by educa-
tors who are among the lowest paid in the
area, Superintendent Cheryl Olson remains
optimistic progress is being made toward
an agreement.
We know our staff and teachers are at the
low end of salaries and the board and
myself are deeply committed to being able
to compensate our staff as they deserve,
she said. But we truly have to get our
budget in order before we can give a signif-
icant pay raise.
Sticking points in the negotiations are
unclear as both sides have been directed by
a mediator to not publicly comment on
raises sought by teachers or any money

require property owners to secure insurance
if theyre located in the flood zone.
The levee is the citys most valuable
asset, protecting all properties from flood-
ing. Due to the levee not currently meeting
FEMA requirements, the levee needs to be
raised to keep all properties out of the flood
zone, which could potentially lower proper-
ty values, require flood insurance for federal
loans or other types of loans, and require
remodels/reconstruction projects to be
constructed 1 foot above the base flood ele-
vation, Public Works Director Jeff Moneda
said in an email.
Addressing FEMA to avoid being mapped
as a flood zone is an issue a variety of
Bayfront communities have faced following
the catastrophic failure of New Orleans
levee during the deadly Hurricane Katrina.
Locally, neighboring San Mateo is also
looking to repair a portion of its levee and
improve pump stations protecting the
North Shoreview neighborhood.
Foster Citys project will incorporate
future sea level rise predictions and Miller is
hoping the levee upgrade could serve as an
example of how communities might adapt
to climate change.
The preferred hybrid levee design would
be constructed in such a way that it could
more easily be raised to meet future needs. It
involves drilling sheet piles to create a
retaining wall along the current levee, then
offered by officials.
The San Bruno Park Elementary School
District is no foreigner to difficult contract
negotiations, as officials have repeatedly
cited ongoing budget limitations as the
primary hurdle to offering competitive
salaries.
Teachers union President Suzanne Green
though questioned whether officials are
doing all they can to squeeze money out of
an already constricted spending plan.
Our point is that there is money but
they are choosing not to prioritize teach-
ers, Green said.
She suggested officials get creative by
directing money allocated from the state to
teachers, while Olson said administrators
are focused on cutting costs and generating
money to create budget space for raises.
Ramping up district special education
programs to serve San Bruno students
rather than outsourcing those services to
other nearby agencies could be a signifi-
cant means of cost savings, said Olson.
She also suggested raising revenue
through renting district properties or pur-
suing a tax measure could help replenish
district coffers and add capacity for a
using fill to reinstate the Bay Trail.
The council will consider whether to
design it with the year 2050 in mind, when
an additional 15 inches of sea level rise is
expected, or the year 2100, when the water
is predicted to be up to 46 inches higher,
according to a staff report.
Staff is now recommending the council
consider an adaptable design with the
2050 target in mind.
Under this scenario, in the future, the
existing improvements would have the
adaptability to address improvements need-
ed due to future sea level rise beyond 2050,
without having to throw away the improve-
ments that were originally constructed with
our project, Moneda said.
The 2050 adaptable alternative is expect-
ed to cost $90 million to start, while the
2100 alternative is estimated to cost $380
million. The price estimates of the levee
upgrade have risen in the years since its
been discussed from $65 million to $75
million and now up to $90 million. The
council must also consider how to pay for
these costly improvements.
Staff is recommending the city issue a 30-
year general obligation bond. At the current
3.5 percent interest rate, its estimated
properties would be taxed $48 per $100,000
of assessed valuation. Essentially, a person
whose home is worth $1 million would have
a property tax assessment bill of about
teacher salary hikes.
I know our teachers are extremely wary
and want to be compensated as they
deserve, and I can tell you that is my
hearts desire, Olson said.
District teachers earned an average of
$67,546 last year, according to the state
Department of Education, which is the
lowest of all elementary school districts
in San Mateo County, barring the
Bayshore Elementary School District,
which only serves about 400 students in
Daly City.
Green said the low pay rates have result-
ed in sinking morale among teachers and
constant staff turnover, as educators are
constantly leaving in favor of better pay-
checks elsewhere. The difficulties faced by
teachers are compounded by the skyrocket-
ing cost of living locally, said Green.
They cant control how expensive it is
to live here, but they can control compen-
sating us fairly so there is incentive to
stay, she said.
Green, who has worked in the district for
more than a decade, said the budget strug-
gles have become too much for her to bear,
as she intends to leave the district and find

$480, according to a staff report.
The city contends it is far less than pay-
ing for flood insurance, which current mar-
ket rates range from $1,500 to $2,000,
according to the city.
All property owners commercial, resi-
dential, office would be subject to the tax
that must be approved by voters. If the
council decides to go down that route, the
goal would be to have it on the November
ballot, Miller said.
Other options the council will consider to
fund the project is forming an assessment
district or issuing Mello Roos bonds.
However, staff is recommending the general
obligation bond as its expected to result in
the lowest interest costs and therefore save
taxpayers money, Moneda said.
Aside from preventing property owners
from becoming subject to flood insurance,
Miller noted its a vital investment to pro-
tect thousands of property owners from a
severe storm.
The council will also consider whether to
certify an environmental analysis that
looked at various impacts including hydrol-
ogy, noise, aesthetics, views, air quality,
recreation and more.
The council meets 4:30 p.m. Monday,
May 8, at City Hall, 620 Foster City Blv d.

Im devastated, she said. I dont want
to leave. But I cant do it. I just cant do it
anymore.
Green said if progress cannot be made
toward a budget deal shortly, she expects
teachers will consider striking. A work
stoppage was last discussed in 2015 before
teachers and officials agreed to an 8.5 per-
cent raise split evenly between two years,
possible through increased state alloca-
tions.
Considering the roadblocks hit in the
most recent round of negotiations, Green
said she has little confidence an agreement
can be found. In the meantime, teachers
plan to continue rallying support for their
cause.
Well be picketing, she said. We want
to keep the community informed on what
is going on and how they can be a part of
helping us come to a resolution.
Olson though has a more hopeful vision
for future negotiations.
I dont think we are very far apart, she
said. I think well be able to come to an
agreement. At least that is my deepest
desire.
