California
GOP plots
its future
Republicans gathering in
the Bay Area this weekend
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
California Republicans are gathering in the San Francisco
Bay Area this weekend to plot the future of the party in a
state where their registration and inuence have been slid-
ing.
Former state Senate minority leader Jim Brulte, who took
over as party chairman last spring, has brought the state
GOP out of debt, with the most recent nancial reports led
with the state showing it has nearly $1.4 million in the
bank.
This is a party that, whether we like it or not, has been
in decline for over two decades in this state, Brulte told

Finding Notre Dame High School
Belmonts unofficial school mascot

grounds of the school is just one of the lat-
est additions from new Head of School
Maryann Osmond.
In addition to Osmonds take your dog to
work day on Fridays, shes added free dress
Fridays for the all-girls
school and switched the
cafeteria over to locally
sourced food for break-
fast and lunch.
Im glad we have a
uniform, but I happen to
believe you can both
teach and learn when
wearing comfortable
clothes, said Osmond,
62, who acted as interim head until she was
named as the permanent selection at the end
of February.
Osmond became interim head of school
last July after the retirement of Rita Gleason
and recently received unanimous approval
as the new head.
During these eight months of her inter-
im appointment, Maryann has gained the
trust and respect of faculty, staff, students
and parents, said Michael Maher, Notre
Dame Belmont board chair in a press
release. Maryanns style of leadership has
exemplied the spirit of Notre Dame one
that supports and listens to each person and
encourages open and honest communica-
tion. She has proven to be a leader who is
masterful at bringing about change with
consensus and buy-in from stakeholders.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The commission charged with the task of
recommending parking solutions for down-
town Burlingame came to the conclusion
that all potential parking structure sites are
problematic and wants to wait until the city
has identied the $10 million to $20 mil-
lion needed before making specic sugges-
tions.
The Burlingame Traffic, Safety and
Parking Commission presented its recom-
mendations on the potential of building a
parking structure downtown to mitigate
concerns over lack of parking at the third,
and nal, meeting on the topic this week.
First, the commission has asked staff to
report back to the commission regarding
measures including improved waynding
that could be undertaken to improve the
parking situation in downtown, the date by
which those measures can be implemented
and any other impediments to implement-
ing those recommendations.
Potential sites all have some drawbacks,
the commission found. For the space at the
northern part of downtown currently home
to structure Aand potentially Lots A1 and/or
C, and/or the current Donnelley Avenue. If
these sites were chosen, the city should
consider improving vehicle access from
California Drive along Lorton Avenue, from
El Camino Real, along Chapin Avenue, and
Primrose Road, and from Howard Avenue,
along Primrose Road. A more centrally
located structure, at Lots J and W, would be
easily accessible, but could cause extra con-
gestion and result in a less pedestrian-
friendly downtown. The option of putting a
lot in the southern portion of downtown,
where Lots G, F and N are located, is further
from Burlingame Avenue, according to a
commission report.
Since funding for a parking structure is
not currently available, it would be prema-
ture for the commission to make a recom-
mendation whether, or where, the city
should build a structure. Additionally studies
regarding the need for a parking structure
may eventually become necessary, but it
would be premature to commission such a
study until the city has identied the $10
million-$20 million necessary to build such
a structure, the report stated.
No recommendation presented

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Burlingame business owner pleaded
guilty Thursday in federal court to falsely
obtaining $1.96 million in loans for his
various enterprises by making false state-
ment to three federally insured lenders and
the federal Small Business Administration,
the FBI announced Friday.
Nimer Anton Massis, 40, lied in three
separate business loan packages in 2008
and 2009 for loans guaranteed by the
SBA and issued by Mission National
Bank, One California Bank and Capital
Access Group, announced U.S. Attorney
Melinda Haag and FBI Special Agent in
Charge David J. Johnson.
At the time he applied for each, Massis
was in default on approximately $630,000
in debt owed to Citibank but never disclosed
the information. By the time federal inves-
tigators uncovered the fraud, Massis owed
approximately $1.8 million and as of last
month the debt was approximately $1 mil-
lion.
Massis was indicted Oct. 8, 2013, on
three counts of making false statements to a
federally insured bank and one count of
making a false statement to the United
States. On March 13, he pleaded guilty to all
counts and admitted knowing his statements
to the lenders and SBA were false. He also
admitted making them for the purpose of
influencing the lenders to loan him the
money, and in the case of the SBA, that the
false statements were a key factor in secur-
ing the loan.
Massis will be sentenced July 23. He faces
30 years prison and a $1 million ne on
each count of making false statements to
the bank and five years prison and a
$250,000 ne for the false statement to the
United States.

Half Moon Bay to get
contract interim city manager
Brisbane Deputy City Manager
Stuart Schillinger is being recom-
mended to serve as Half Moon Bays
interim city manager on a contract
basis, while city ofcials conduct their
search for a permanent city manager.
If approved by the City Council at
its March 18 meeting, Schillinger will
be replacing former city manager Laura
Snideman, who announced she was
leaving the city for an executive posi-
tion with Napa County the week of
Feb. 22.
Schillinger has previous profession-
al experience with the city of Half
Moon Bay having worked on the citys
2011-12 budget process. He joined the
city of Brisbane as the nance director
in 2001 before advancing to
Administrative Services director, and
now, the deputy city manager. He has
previous municipal government expe-
rience in Glendale, Ariz., Encinitas,
Calif. and Reno, Nev. During the tem-
porary agreement, Schillinger would
be based at Half Moon Bay City Hall
four days per week, according to a city
press release.
The city is expected to retain an
executive recruiter who specializes in
the municipal sector to lead its search.
Typically, the recruitment process can
take between three and six months,
according to the release.
Girl, 8, hit by car
near San Mateo school
An 8-year-old girl was hit by an unli-
censed driver near Horrall Elementary
School in San Mateo Friday morning,
according to police.
The driver, a 38-year-old San Mateo
resident, struck the girl with a gold
Toyota Corolla in the 900 block of
Ocean View Avenue at about 7:40 a.m.
The girl was alert and talking when
she was taken to a hospital and her
injuries were not considered life threat-
ening, police said.
The driver was cited for driving with-
out a license and released. Drugs and
alcohol are not considered factors in
the collision.
Additional psychologists were
called to assist students and staff at the
school Friday, according to police.
Motorcyclist killed in
Highway 35 crash identified
A motorcyclist killed in a head-on
crash on state Highway 35 in southern
San Mateo County on Thursday after-
noon has been identied by the county
coroners office as 23-year-old
Fremont resident Dong Chen.
The collision was reported around
1:45 p.m. on state Highway 35 about a
quarter-mile south of Page Mill Road,
according to the California Highway
Patrol.
Chen was pronounced dead at the
scene about 15 minutes later, CHP
Ofcer Amelia Jack said.
Investigators believe the motorcy-
clist was traveling south and crossed
over into the northbound lanes, where
he struck the front of a black Acura
driven by a Mountain View resident,
Jack said.
It does not appear that drugs or alco-
hol played a role in the crash, Jack
said.
The highway was closed in both
directions until around 4:15 p.m.
Anyone who witnessed the crash is
asked to call the CHP at (650) 369-

San Jose mayor abandons
pension-reform initiative
SACRAMENTO San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed
announced Friday that hes abandoning an attempt to place
an initiative on the November state bal-
lot that would have enabled governments
in California to cut future pension bene-
ts for current workers.
After losing a court ght over the legal
description of his initiative, Reed said
supporters will now target the 2016 bal-
lot because they didnt have enough time
to collect signatures for this year.
The forms that would have been used to
gather signatures said the measure would
eliminate constitutional protections for vested pension
and retiree health care benets for current public employees,
including teachers, nurses, and peace ofcers, for future
work performed.
U.S. government ceding
control of key Internet body
SAN FRANCISCO The U.S. government is relinquish-
ing its control of the Internets address system in a shift
that may raise questions about the future direction of online
innovation and communications.
The decision announced Friday begins a long-planned
transition affecting the stewardship of the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN.
Thats a not-for-prot agency launched in 1998 by the
Commerce Department to govern the system that assigns
website addresses and directs Internet trafc.
The departments National Telecommunications and
Information Administration, or NTIA, hopes to end its
oversight of ICANNs Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
by the time its contract expires in September 2015.

SEATTLE The FBI is refusing to
run nationwide background checks on
people applying to run legal marijuana
businesses in Washington state, even
though it has conducted similar checks
in Colorado a discrepancy that illus-
trates the quandary the Justice
Department faces as it allows the states
to experiment with regulating a drug
thats long been illegal under federal
law.
Washington state has been asking for
nearly a year if the FBI would conduct
background checks on its applicants, to
no avail. The bureaus refusal raises the
possibility that people with trouble-
some criminal histories could wind up
with pot licenses in the state under-
mining the departments own priorities
in ensuring that states keep a tight rein
on the nascent industry.
Its a strange jam for the feds, who
announced last summer that they would-
nt sue to prevent Washington and
Colorado from regulating marijuana
after 75 years of prohibition.
The Obama administration has said it
wants the states to make sure pot rev-
enue doesnt go to organized crime and
that state marijuana industries dont
become a cover for the trafcking of
other illegal drugs. At the same time, it
might be tough for the FBI to stomach
conducting such background checks
essentially helping the states violate
federal law.
The Justice Department declined to
explain why it isnt conducting the
checks in Washington when it has in
Colorado. Stephen Fischer, a
spokesman for the FBIs Criminal
Justice Information Services Division,
referred an Associated Press inquiry to
DOJ headquarters, which would only
issue a written statement.
To ensure a consistent national
approach, the department has been
reviewing its background check poli-
cies, and we hope to have guidance for
states in the near term, it said in its
entirety.

SACRAMENTO The agency over-
seeing Californias high-speed rail
project won permission Friday from a
separate state board to begin eminent
domain proceedings against eight
properties in Fresno that are needed to
build the lines initial segment.
Three of the eight properties are
businesses, while ve are vacant lots
or vacant buildings, said California
High-Speed Rail Authority spokes-
woman Lisa Marie Alley.
The rail authority must acquire 381
Central Valley properties to build the
initial 21-mile segment. It now has
permission from the state Board of
Public Works to seize a total of 10
properties and has contracts to buy
another 47.
It has submitted written offers on
166 and is in the process of negotiat-
ing terms with the remaining property
owners.
An opponent said it is premature for
the state to seize the properties
because it is uncertain whether the bul-
let train project can clear several legal
hurdles to begin construction.
The 3rd District Court of Appeal is
conducting an expedited review of two
lower court rulings by Sacramento
County Superior Court Judge Michael
Kenny, who determined the project as
currently envisioned does not meet the
promises made to voters when they
approved nearly $10 billion in bonds
for the project in 2008.
The judge ordered the state to write a
new plan to pay for the $68 billion rail
project and blocked the sale of $8.6
billion of the voter-approved bonds.

Eight dead in New York gas
blast as rescue operation goes on
NEW YORK The bodies of all eight people reported
missing after a deadly gas explosion destroyed two build-
ings have been recovered, the fire commissioner said
Friday, but workers are treating the scene as a rescue opera-
tion in case there are unknown survivors in the rubble.
Salvatore Cassano said no one else is known to be unac-
counted for but workers will continue to scour the debris
from the attened apartment buildings for victims. More
than 60 people were injured by Wednesday mornings
explosion, and more than 100 others were displaced.
Cassano said about 70 percent of the debris had been
cleared at the upper Manhattan blast site. But he said the
pace was expected to quicken after reghters removed a
hazardous rear wall.
He predicted detectives and fire marshals would gain
access to the East Harlem buildings basements by midday
Saturday to begin the investigation into what caused the
explosion.
Right now we are in the process of removing the nal
amount of debris, Cassano said. We should be moving
much more quickly now.
The rescue effort continued as federal investigators
announced that gas was detected in underground tests of the
site in the hours after the explosion, lending support to the
hypothesis a gas leak may have been the cause.
White House backing off push for surgeon general
WASHINGTON The White House is backing off its push
for quick conrmation of President Barack Obamas pick to
be surgeon general in the face of opposition from the
National Rie Association and concerns among Democrats
up for re-election who dont want to take another tough vote
on a controversial nominee.
Dr. Vivek Hallegere Murthy, a Harvard Medical School
physician and Obama political organizer, is the latest nom-
inee to be targeted for defeat by an outside group in the
midst of the midterm election campaign. Murthys support
of gun control drew the ire of the NRA, which was a driving
force 11 months ago in the defeat of Obama-endorsed
stronger background checks for rearms purchases.
The White House has decided that, at least for now, it
wont put its vulnerable incumbents in the position of tak-
ing a vote that could hurt them in the November elections.
Its an embarrassing setback for Obama, a week after the
Senate blocked his pick of Debo Adegbile as the govern-
ments chief civil rights attorney.
Obamas Funny or Die skit more than 15 million hits
NEWYORK President Barack Obamas appearance on
the Between Two Ferns satirical online talk show this
week has reached 15 million views almost at Justin
Bieber levels.
The website Funny or Die said Friday that Obamas inter-
view with Zach Galianakis, posted Tuesday, will likely
beat Biebers record of 17.8 million views for the show. The
pop singers appearance was posted in September.
The presidents appearance to persuade young people to
sign up for health insurance is a key moment for the
Internet, much like Franklin Roosevelts reside chats were
for radio and the Kennedy-Nixon debate for television, said
Dick Glover, CEO of the comic website started by Will
Ferrell.
Around the nation
By Jim Kuhnhenn
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obamas new promise to seek ways to
ease his administrations rate of deporta-
tions aims to mollify angry immigrant
advocates but carries risks for a White
House that has insisted it has little
recourse.
In asking Homeland Security Secretary
Jeh Johnson to review enforcement prac-
tices, Obama could undo already fragile
congressional efforts to overhaul immi-
gration laws. And he still could fall short
of satisfying the demands of pro-immi-
grant groups that have been increasing
pressure on him to dramatically reverse
the administrations record of deporta-
tions.
The White House announced Thursday
that Obama had directed Johnson, who
was sworn in three months ago, to see
how the department can conduct enforce-
ment more humanely within the connes
of the law. Then the
president summoned
17 labor and immi-
gration leaders to the
White House Friday
afternoon for what
some participants
described as a spirited
discussion of his
deportations policies
and the strategy for
enacting a comprehensive congressional
overhaul of immigration laws.
The president displayed a great deal of
sympathy for the families affected by the
deportation machinery, Frank Sharry,
executive director of Americas Voice, said
after the nearly two-hour session. There
was less agreement on when and what
should be done about it by the president.
Participants emerged from the meeting
unied in their call for House Republicans
to act on immigration legislation.
Privately, some said Obama voiced frus-
tration during the meeting with the criti-
cism some of them have directed at him,
including calling him deporter in chief.
Republican House Speaker John
Boehners ofce pointedly warned that
xes to the immigration system should
be carried out by Congress, not by the
president on his own. The Democratic-
controlled Senate last year passed a com-
prehensive bill that would enhance border
security and provide a path to citizenship
for many of the 11 million immigrants
who entered the country illegally or over-
stayed their visas. But the Republican-
held House has delayed action and favors
a more piecemeal approach.
Theres no doubt we have an immigra-
tion system that is failing families and
our economy, but until it is reformed
through the democratic process, the pres-
ident is obligated to enforce the laws we
have, Boehner spokesman Brendan
Buck said Friday. Failing to do so would
damage perhaps beyond repair our
ability to build the trust necessary to
enact real immigration reform.

A woman writes on a banner of well wishes for the passengers of the missing
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
By Eileen Ng and Joan Lowy
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
Piracy and pilot suicide are among
the scenarios under study as inves-
tigators grow increasingly certain
the missing Malaysia Airlines jet
changed course and headed west
after its last radio contact with air
trafc controllers.
The latest evidence suggests the
plane didnt experience a cata-
strophic incident over the South
China Sea as was initially suspect-
ed. Some experts theorize that one
of the pilots, or someone else with
flying experience, hijacked the
plane or committed suicide by
plunging the jet into the sea.
Adding to the speculation that
someone was ying the jet, The
New York Times on Friday quoted
sources familiar with the investi-
gation as saying that the plane
experienced signicant changes in
altitude after it lost contact with
ground control, and altered its
course more than once.
A U.S. official told the
Associated Press earlier that
investigators are examining the
possibility of human interven-
tion in the planes disappearance,
adding it may have been an act of
piracy. The ofcial, who wasnt
authorized to talk to the media and
spoke on condition of anonymity,
said it was possible the plane may
have landed somewhere.
Missing plane: Piracy
theory gains credence

LONDON The West braced
Friday for a vote by the Crimean
Peninsula to secede from Ukraine
and likely be annexed by Russia
as the last attempt for diplomacy
broke down despite threats of cost-
ly international sanctions and
other imminent penalties against
Moscow for forcibly challenging a
pro-European government in Kiev.
Russias top diplomat said
Moscow will make no decisions
about Crimeas future, including
whether to embrace it as a new ter-
ritory, until after a local referendum
Sunday to decide whether it should
remain part of Ukraine.
But U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry said the votes results are all
but a foregone conclusion, and
urged Russias parliament against
accepting any offer to claim
Crimea as its own.
We believe that a decision to
move forward by Russia to ratify
that vote officially within the
Duma would, in fact, be a backdoor
annexation of Crimea, Kerry told
reporters in London after six hours
of talks Friday with Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Kerry instead called on Moscow
to support broad autonomy for
Crimea still as part of Ukraine
instead of a move by the strate-
gic peninsula to secede. And he pre-
dicted the probability of if the
people of Crimea vote overwhelm-
ingly, as one suspects they will, to
affiliate or be associated with
Russia.
Crimea, which is Ukraines
strategic Black Sea peninsula of 2
million people, has a majority eth-
nic Russian population and hosts a
large Russian naval base. The West
and Ukraines upstart government
in Kiev believes the regions vote
to secede is unconstitutional. But
Moscow doesnt recognize leaders
in Kiev as legitimate since they
pushed Ukraines pro-Russian pres-
ident from power last month.
Scientists expect traces
of ocean radiation soon
Scientists have crowdsourced a
network of volunteers taking
water samples at beaches along
the West Coast in hopes of captur-
ing a detailed look at low levels of
radiation drifting across the ocean
since the 2011 tsunami that devas-
tated a nuclear power plant in
Japan.
With the risk to public health
extremely low, the effort is more
about perfecting computer models
that will better predict chemical
and radiation spills in the future
than bracing for a threat,
researchers say.
Federal agencies are not sam-
pling at the beach. Washington
also doesnt test ocean water for
radiation, said Washington
Department of Health spokesman
Donn Moyer.

Tokyo police said the man, 36,

related books, including at least
one copy of the diary.

OPINION 9
Feinstein versus CIA
Editor,
Perhaps the chickens may finally be
coming home to roost. Pressure is
building on the CIA to release one of
the most potentially explosive docu-
ments of the post-9/11 era: a secret
Senate report revealing in gruesome
detail the extent of the agencys use
of torture.
We gave birth to spy agencies, most
notably the Central Intelligence
Agency and the National Security
Agency, with unlimited funding, and
their dark activities continue to haunt
us. U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chair
of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
is now crying foul, accusing the CIA
of stonewalling investigations into
torture and rendition and blatant
intimidation. The CIA fired back
accusing Senate staffers of stealing
classified documents. It is ironic that
Feinstein vigorously defended the
NSA in its unprecedented theft of
Americans personal information. The
separation of powers between the
executive and legislative branch of
government must be rigorously
upheld and Feinstein is right to
demand accountability.
Amnesty for torturers is unaccept-
able there is little doubt that the
most appalling brutality took place.
For example, former combat General
Barry McCaffrey declared, We tor-
tured people unmercifully. We proba-
bly murdered dozens of them during
the course of that, both the armed
forces and the CIA. Major General
Anthony Taguba, who directed the
Abu Ghraib investigation, wrote that
there is no longer any doubt as to
whether the [Bush] administration has
committed war crimes. The only ques-
tion that remains to be answered is
whether those who ordered the use of
torture will be held to account.

My view of the country
Editor,
The political system is a negative
drag on the country. Congress lets
give them six months off out of
Washington, D.C. When we call them
back, we will pay them for what they
have accomplished. The new pay will
be pro bono/minimum wage, and lets
see what kind of results we get.
We need solutions only.

What a sick joke
Editor,
When you are a police officer the
way you make it in your career is
with arrests, and convictions. Not just
arresting people, but convicting them,
and sending them to prison. The more
you do this, the more you advance in
your career and the more you succeed
in the department you are working
for. This is why the police will usual-
ly not arrest someone until they are
certain they will gain a conviction.
Those are the words of former San
Jose police chief Joseph McNamara
from a segment of the News Hour
hosted by Ray Suarez on a Saturday
morning several years ago regarding
the debate over the Miranda rights.
In regards to the case of Matthew
Llaneza from San Jose who was
recently convicted of acts of terror-
ism, it is and never should be law
enforcements job to encourage or
entice a person into committing a
crime, as what happened to him.
Clearly Matthews Llanezas mental
capacity to make judgements and per-
ceive reality were severely dimin-
ished, especially in comparison to
experienced FBI agents. To sentence a
person of such emotional and mental
frailty to 15 years in a federal prison
is totally outrageous, and the judge in
Oakland who passed the sentence
should be ashamed of herself.
It is a sad day in America when the
most vulnerable and disenfranchised
members of our society are con-
demned by the very system that
should be there to protect them.

C
rossing into the United
States illegally is not a capi-
tal crime. Yet since 2010,
some 20 people have been fatally
shot by Border Patrol agents along
the U.S.-Mexico border.
The head of the Border Patrol has
taken the correct and necessary step
of making clear to his agents that
using deadly force should be a last
resort. Last week, Chief Michael
Fisher ordered agents not to step in
front of moving vehicles in order to
open re, and not to shoot at eeing
vehicles. He also directed agents to
seek cover or move away from rock
throwers, and not to shoot unless in
imminent danger.
No doubt, agents should be able to
protect themselves or the public. But
its also clear that more intensive
training is needed to make sure this
reasonable policy is followed.
The new rules bring the patrol more
in line with the nations major law
enforcement departments. The
changes come after scrutiny from
civil rights groups and the Mexican
government, and follow eye-opening
reports a week earlier by Tim Johnson
of McClatchys foreign staff and by
the Los Angeles Times.
Johnson reported that in some of
the border killings, there are serious
questions whether deadly force was
really required. Critics also say the
patrol has resisted adopting safe-
guards on the use of lethal force and
has weakened training standards,
Johnson reported.
The Los Angeles Times disclosed
details of a report by independent law
enforcement experts, who found that
agents had deliberately stepped into
the path of vehicles to justify shoot-
ing at drivers and had red at rock
throwers on the Mexican side of the
border and that the patrol had
rejected restrictions on the use of
deadly force in those situations. The
review, by the highly respected Police
Executive Research Forum, also criti-
cized the patrol for not diligently
investigating shooting incidents.
U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, which commissioned the
report, sought to keep it under wraps,
submitting only a watered-down sum-
mary to congressional committees,
the Times said. Until Friday, federal
ofcials had refused to release the pol-
icy covering when agents are empow-
ered to use deadly force.
Those are troubling lapses of trans-
parency and accountability for an
agency that has grown dramatically in
recent years, to some 21,700 agents.
New Homeland Security Secretary
Jeh Johnson deserves praise not
ak from the agents union for
pushing the Border Patrol to issue the
new use-of-force guidelines and to
make them public.
Securing the border is crucial.
Given political realities, its a prereq-
uisite before the long overdue and
comprehensive reform of our broken
immigration system can move for-
ward. But the border cant be a killing
zone.

The problem of poverty
D
ebates about the minimum wage, income and
wealth inequality and economic growth are rag-
ing across the nation. Here in Silicon Valley,
those debates can seem far away with little relevance in
the land of $1.5 million bungalows and fast-food outlets
that pay bored high school students a premium to keep
them from quitting.
However, all is not well in the
rest of California. Last year, the
U.S. Census Bureau reported a
poverty rate in our state of
almost 24 percent. Moreover, a
recent Bloomberg News story
states we have a widening
income gap, with food stamp
use increasing at almost double
the national rate since Gov.
Jerry Brown took ofce in
2011.
Some say that all we need are
more government programs and
the problem would be solved. Since President Lyndon B.
Johnson began the War on Poverty in 1964, the govern-
ment has spent more than $16 trillion to ght poverty,
according to the libertarian Cato Institute. Yet that vast
sum has had hardly any effect. In 1964, 19 percent of
Americans lived in poverty. Today, 15 percent do. And
today, almost 22 percent of children live in poverty while
the rate was 23 percent in 1964.
Just this week, the city of San Francisco reported it
spends almost $166 million annually for its approximate-
ly 6,400 homeless, or about $25,000 per person and
$100,000 for a family of four. However, the number of
homeless has barely budged over the last decade. Clearly,
something isnt working.
While government programs work to ease the plight of
those in poverty, especially for people who cannot be
expected to work, they are terrible at doing the most
important job of all raising individuals and families
out of poverty and into the middle class.
But there is, surprisingly to some, a consensus across
liberal, conservative and libertarian think tanks about
what can be done to address this central problem of pover-
t y.
While their answers may sound simple, they are hard to
implement and require a cultural shift in attitudes, norms
and behavior. As Ronald Reagan said in his rst guberna-
torial inaugural address, The truth is, there are simple
answers there just are not easy ones.
In testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on
Finance, Ron Haskins of the liberal Brookings
Institution identies three steps that individuals can take
to ensure that they will not live in poverty.
First, young people must complete their high school
education. In California, its easier said than done, as
more than 13 percent of high school students drop out
before graduation. This number grows to 16 percent for
Hispanic students and to a whopping 22 percent for black
students. Combine these numbers with the states abysmal
achievement rating, a D-plus in Education Week Research
Centers latest Quality Counts report, and the chances of
educational success for Californias at-risk children are
greatly reduced.
Second, upon graduation, young people must work full
time at a job, any job, for at least a year if not longer.
Again, in California this is a tough proposition. At 8.1
percent, our unemployment rate is higher than the rest of
the country. The youth unemployment rate is even higher.
Third, young people should wait until 21 to marry and
they should marry before having children. The conserva-
tive Heritage Foundation notes in a recent report that mar-
riage inequality may be the single biggest driver of
national income inequality. Heritage nds that being mar-
ried has roughly the same effect in reducing poverty that
adding ve to six years to a parents education has.
Moreover, Heritage nds that, The U.S. is steadily sep-
arating into a two-caste system with marriage and educa-
tion as the dividing line. ... In the bottom-income third,
children are raised by single parents with a high school
degree or less. But, with a child rst, marriage second
ethos in low-income communities, this step is rarely fol-
lowed.
Yet, according to Haskins testimony, People who fol-
lowed all three of these rules had only a 2 percent chance
of being in poverty and a 72 percent chance of joining the
middle class.
Conservative, liberal and libertarian policy experts
agree. We know how to defeat inter-generational poverty
and lift families into the middle class. While government
programs can ameliorate the worst of povertys depriva-
tions, what is needed are stronger efforts to create educa-

Big movers
By Alex Veiga
Stock investors started the week
worrying about China. They ended it
waiting on Russia.
Investors spent much of Friday mon-
itoring developments in the Ukraines
region of Crimea, where residents will
vote Sunday on whether to join
Russia. The U.S. and European Union
have vowed to impose sanctions on
Russia as early as Monday if Moscow
moves to annex Crimea.
The uncertainty mostly stalled major
stock indexes, which moved between
small gains and losses through much
of the day. Many investors took a cau-
tious approach, turning to lower-risk
stocks like utilities.
All told, the Dow Jones industrial
average slid 43.22 points, or 0.3 per-
cent, to end at 16,065.67. The
Standard & Poors 500 index fell 5.21
points, or 0.3 percent, to close at
1, 841. 13. The Nasdaq composite
dropped 15.02 points, or 0.4 percent,
to nish at 4,245.40.
Even so, the S&P 500 index ended
the week down less than 2 percent from
a record high reached the previous
Friday. And it remains just slightly in
the red for the year.
The market is still pretty close to
all-time highs. I think that speaks
volumes, said Karyn Cavanaugh, a
senior market strategist with ING U.S.
Investment Management. The market
hasnt been rattled severely by whats
been going on this week, therefore I
think next week Id probably expect a
similar reaction.
In government bond trading, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note was
little changed from late Thursday at
2.65 percent.
Despite the Dow posting its fth
loss in ve days, the market regained
some of its footing from a day earlier,
when the three major indexes lost
more than 1 percent the worst day
for the market in six weeks. Thursdays
decline was a sharp contrast to the rel-
atively quiet trading Monday through
Wednesday.
Discussions between U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry and Russia
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
Friday set the mood heading into the
weekend. Despite six hours of talks,
the two sides had no common
vision, for the crisis in Ukraine,
Lavrov said.
He told reporters that Russia has no
plans to invade southeastern Ukraine.
But if Crimea secedes, the U.S. and
European Union plan to slap sanctions
on Russian ofcials and businesses
accused of escalating the crisis and
undermining Ukraines new govern-
ment.
The impact of sanctions on Russia
would likely affect the energy sector
and oil in particular, said Jonathan
Corpina, senior managing partner at
Median Equity Partners.
Any sanctions, if they get to that
level, are going to have a major effect
in all areas, he said.
Russia is the worlds eighth largest
economy. Its oil and gas exports make
up roughly a quarter of its GDP.
Escalating tension in Ukraine is the
latest development in a volatile year
for the stock market. Severe winter
weather has hurt corporate earnings
and stoked doubts about the strength
of the U.S. economy. Concerns over
emerging markets battered stocks at
the end of January. And in recent
weeks, discouraging data on the
Chinese economy have added to
investors concerns.
Thats a stark shift from last year,
when the market enjoyed a surge of 30
percent and slightly more, if dividends
are included.
The ride this year will be bumpier
than last year, said Jim Dunigan,
managing executive of investments at
The PNC Financial Services Group.
Coming off a market of plus 32 per-
cent last year, its not surprising the
difculty to gain any traction here.
Still, Cavanaugh of ING U.S.
Investment Management, said
investors know that fundamentals are
solid.
Stocks end lower ahead of Ukraine vote
Castlight Health shares
more than double in debut
NEWYORK Shares of Castlight Health
Inc. more than doubled Friday in their debut
on the New York Stock Exchange.
The online health care software company
raised $177.6 million in an initial public
offering priced at $16 per share.
Its shares jumped $23.80 to close at
$39.80 Friday. They rose as high as $41.95
earlier in the day.
The San Francisco-based company sells
cloud-based software to large companies that
provide the service to their workers.
Employees use Castlight to search and com-
pare doctors, hospitals and procedures based
on cost and the quality of care. Its a way for
companies and employees to lower their
health care costs.
Were really focusing on building an icon-
ic company that changes health care, said
CEO and co-founder Giovanni Colella.
Castlight sold 11.1 million share of its
Class B common stock in the IPO. The $16-
per-share price was above its previously
announced range of $13 per share and $15 per
share.
The stock is trading under the ticker sym-
bol CSLT.
Pinkberry co-founder
gets prison in assault
LOS ANGELES A co-founder of the
frozen yogurt chain Pinkberry was sentenced
Friday to seven years in prison for beating a
homeless man with a tire iron in Los Angeles.
Young Lee, 49, was sentenced to the maxi-
mum term for the June 2011 attack near a
Hollywood freeway off-ramp.
Authorities said Lee confronted Daniel
Bolding as the transient was panhandling at
the Vermont Avenue exit near U.S. 101.
Lee claimed Bolding ashed a sexually-
themed tattoo to several people in Lees car,
including his ancee.
Lee drove away but returned and attacked
Bolding, who was struck twice in the head and
suffered a broken arm before witnesses
stopped the assault, prosecutors said.
The 44-year-old Bolding testied at trial
that he was begging from drivers when his
shirt rode up, revealing the tattoo, which
showed a stick-gure couple having sex.
In November, jurors convicted Lee of
assault with a deadly weapon, with a special
allegation that the attack caused great bodily
injury.

NEW YORK Shaped like a lopsided
headband, Google Glass is an unassuming
piece of technology when youre holding it
in your hands. You feel as if you can almost
break it, testing its exibility. Putting it
on, though, is another story.
Once you do, this Internet-connected eye-
wear takes on a life of its own. You become
The Person Wearing Google Glass and all
the assumptions that brings with it about
your wealth, boorishness or curiosity. Such
is the fate of early adopters of new tech-
nologies, whether its the Sony Walkman,
the rst iPod with its conspicuous white ear-
buds, or the Segway scooter. Google calls
the people who wear Glass explorers,
because the device is not yet available to the
general public.
With its $1,500 price tag, the device is far
from having mass appeal. At the South By
Southwest Interactive tech jamboree in
Austin this week, I counted fewer than a
dozen people wearing it, including technol-
ogy blogger Robert Scoble, who isnt shy
about posting pictures of himself in the
shower, red-faced, water running, wearing
the device.
Google, like most successful technology
companies, dreamers and inventors, likes to
take a long view on things. It calls some of
its most outlandish projects moonshots.
Besides Glass, these include its driverless
car, balloons that deliver Internet service to
remote parts of the world and contact lenses
that monitor glucose levels in diabetics.
Theres an inherent risk in moonshots,
however: What if you never reach the
moon? Ten years from now, we may look
back at Google Glass as one of those short-
lived bridges that takes us from one techno-
logical breakthrough to the next, just as
pagers, MP3 players and personal digital
assistants paved the way for the era of the
smartphone. Fitness bands, too, may t
into this category.
In its current, early version, Google Glass
feels bulky on my face and when I look in
the mirror I see a futuristic telemarketer
looking back at me.

NEW YORK Target Corp. said in its
annual report that a massive security breach
has hurt its image and business, while
spawning dozens of legal actions, and it
noted it cant estimate how big the nancial
tab will end up being.
The disclosure Friday with the Securities
and Exchange Commission came as the
nations second-largest discounter said sep-
arately that security software picked up on
suspicious activity after a cyberattack was
launched, but it decided not to take immedi-
ate action.
The acknowledgement comes after
Bloomberg Newsweek reported Thursday
that Targets security team in Bangalore
received security alerts on Nov. 30 that indi-
cated malicious software had appeared in its
network. It then agged the security team at
its home ofce in Minneapolis.
Like any large company, each week at
Target there are a vast number of technical
events that take place and are logged, said
Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder in a
statement. Through our investigation, we
learned after these criminals entered our net-
work, a small amount of their activity was
logged and surfaced to our team. That activ-
ity was evaluated and acted upon. Based on
their interpretation and evaluation of that
activity, the team determined that it did not
warrant immediate follow up.
She added, With the benet of hindsight,
we are investigating whether, if different
judgments had been made, the outcome may
have been different.
Target continues to grapple with the fall-
out of its massive breach since it revealed in
mid-December that hackers stole credit card
numbers and personal data of millions of its
customers. Target announced last week that
its chief information ofcer, Beth Jacob,
had resigned and it was searching for an
interim CIO. It also said it was working to
overhaul some of its divisions that handle
security and technology.
Target says it ignored early signs of data breach

Aragons secret weapon isnt going to
stay a secret for long.
Dons rst baseman Nicole Briedis had her
second clutch hit in as many games as the
senior delivered the game-winning hit in
Fridays 14-13 win over Mills. Aragon
entered into its nal at bat trailing by a run.
But with one out, the Dons loaded the bases
for their secret weapon, and Briedis prompt-
ly slammed a two-RBI single into left eld
to plate both the tying and winning runs to
tab the walk-off victory.
The lead changed four times in the epic
softball slugfest, with Aragon leading by as
much as ve runs, and Mills leading by as
much as three. Both starting pitchers
Mills Sara Cisneros and Aragons Jessica
Doss went the distance. Aragon commit-
ted ve errors throughout. But the two errors
committed by Mills loomed even larger.
It was a ght. It was a battle, Aragon
head coach Christie Hjelm said. It was a
good game overall. We denitely have to
refocus on some pitching and some defense.
But I think it came down to the ght and
the desire and the want. And our girls, they
want it. They want to be good.
It was an ineld error that set the stage for
the Aragon comeback in the seventh. Dons
junior Jen Horita hit a squibbed a grounder
back through the middle that the Mills
defense could not handle. Jen Horita quickly
stole second then had the presence of mind
to advance to third after a throw across the
ineld on a groundout to shortstop off the
bat of cleanup hitter Soraya Valdez-Frick.
Then with two outs, the wheels started
turning in the Mills dugout and from
beyond it.
Mills rst-year head coach Packy Moss is
familiar with the ins and outs of softball.
But he is in his rst year of coaching the
sport and relies on fan-in-the-stands
Fernando Cisneros the father of Fridays
starting pitcher and assistant coach of her
travel-ball team, the NorCal Blast to do
much of the pitch calling and strategizing

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL
Aragons secret weapon, Nicole Briedis, delivers the two-run single to give the Dons a
walk-off win in a wild 14-13 victory.The senior is now 3 for 8 with four RBIs on the season.
SURPRISE, Ariz. Jarrod Parker and A.J.
Grifn will probably start the season on the
disabled list instead of in the Oakland
Athletics rotation.
As manager Bob Melvin said Friday that
Parker has right forearm tightness and sore-
ness and would be examined Monday by Dr.
James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala.
Melvin said Grifn has a sore elbow and
would be examined by team physician Dr.
Douglas Freedberg and have an MRI Friday in
Scottsdale, Ariz.
Theyre both in jeopardy of not starting
the season with us, Melvin said. Obviously,
potentially it is a couple of blows for us.
Melvin said even if both are completely
cleared after the examinations they would not
immediately return to game action and spring
training time is running short.
Were two weeks away from the start of the
season, Melvin said.
Parker, who was penciled in for the March
31 opener against Cleveland, had reconstruc-
tive elbow surgery in 2009 performed by Dr.
James Andrews and missed the 2010 season.
Parker has struggled in spring training with
a 10.61 ERAin three starts,
giving up four runs on four
hits, including two home
runs, in a start Monday
against the Los Angeles
Dodgers. He had forearm
problems at the end of last
season.
His bullpens were really
good leading up to
(games), Melvin said.
We felt condent he was
over the issues he had at the
end of last year. But then
when he started pitching in
games, it would take him a
while to get loose. His rst
outing wasnt great. The
other day the rst inning
was rough and then he got
going.
Finally, when he was
playing catch (Thursday) we were watching
him and it didnt look like he was feeling great
about it. I called him in and we talked and he
admitted to me his forearm is a little bit tight,

NEW YORK Hidden money, dead
money, funny money.
They all apply to NFL free agency, where
the price tags never really are what the
teams, agents or players say they are.
Sure, there are a very few deals that are
exactly what they say on paper, such as
standout cornerback Darrelle Revis one-
year, $12 million contract with New
England. No confusion on the length or the
value.
Compare that to what the guy Revis is
replacing with the Patriots, Aqib Talib, got
with Denver. The Broncos offered Talib a
six-year contract for $57 million, with $26
million guaranteed. An average of well over
$9 million a season, right?
Uh, not quite.
The only money Talib denitely will see
is the $26 million, which hell get even if
he is injured and barely plays for Denver. In
four years, he will be 32 and unless he plays
like, well, a vintage Revis, the Broncos
arent likely to have interest in the rest of
this contract.
For nearly every agreement in free
agency, thats how it is. Follow the guaran-
teed money, be skeptical of the back end of
all deals especially the extremely
lengthy ones.
Bill Polian, who built three Super Bowl
teams (Buffalo, Carolina, Indianapolis),
points to Green Bay as an example of how
to approach free agency. Notice that the
Packers barely have taken part in it this
year, their usual course.
Free agency is not free, it costs two
things you never get back: time and
money, says Polian, now an analyst for
ESPN and SiriusXM. When you have a good
team, and the Green Bay Packers have a
good team and a good personnel department
that drafts well ... then it behooves you to
stay conservative in free agency. Sign your
own and be in a position to make very good
judgments on a few players in free agency.
That is what the Packers have done

SAN MARCOS Chris Cole didnt get into
pro street skateboarding for the money. The
money happened to nd him.
Cole has cashed enough six-gure contest
checks and done well enough from shoe deals to
afford a nice lifestyle for his family in a million-
dollar house hidden away in a hilly, rural area of
northern San Diego County, where rattlesnakes
occasionally slither onto the property and coy-
otes howl at night.
A transplant from subur-
ban Philadelphia, Cole
likes the quiet. Having an
8.5-acre plot gives him a
great place where he and
wife Christina can raise
their two kids, and theres
plenty of room for a
$125,000 concrete skate
park, where he practices
tricks on rails, stairs,
ledges and benches.
Hes the defending Street League
Skateboarding champion and is favored to dom-
inate this summers series.
Cole occasionally ies to China and other
places to lm videos of his tricks. Afew years
ago, he and some other skaters appeared in the
video for Was It Worth It? by Children of
Bodom, a melodic death metal band from
Finland.
Its a kick-ass living right now. If I had a
kick-ass plan for when I grow up, then Id be in
heaven, Cole said with a laugh.
The 32-year-old Cole is at the top of his
career. Last year he claimed the $200,000, win-
ner-take-all nal of Street League
Skateboarding. Earlier in the summer, he nally
broke through with his rst win since the series
started in 2010, pocketing another $100,000.
Last week, DC Shoes released the Cole Lite II,
his second signature skate shoe.
Thats tops, Cole said. You dont buy a
house on board sales. You buy a house with shoe
sales.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. San Jose has dominated the
Eastern Conference all season, and Sharks captain Joe
Thornton kept that trend going against an old friend.
Matt Nieto and Jason Demers scored rst-period goals,
and the Sharks made the most of 26 shots against the
Islanders and goalie Evgeni Nabokov in a 4-3 victory on
Friday night.
Thornton and Marty Havlat added goals in the second
period for the Sharks, who won their fth straight and
improved to 20-6-3 against the East. Antti Niemi made
35 saves for San Jose, which faced former Sharks goalie
Nabokov in his rst start against them.
It was denitely weird seeing him on the other side,
Thornton said of his long-time Sharks teammate. But
we had to focus because they play hard every night.
Were glad to get the two points.
The Sharks (44-17-7) are battling Anaheim for the top
spot in the Pacic Division. San Jose will play at the
New York Rangers on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
Getting the lead was important and we had contribu-
tions from all four lines, Sharks coach Todd McLellan
said. Every game is big this time of year. Now were just
looking forward to our next game, which will be in a
building thats always tough.
Anders Lee, Brock Nelson and Frans Nielsen scored for
the Islanders, who lost for the fth time in six home
games.

Local sports roundup
By Tim Reynolds
Phil Jackson is returning to the NBA.
Jackson has agreed to run the New York Knicks front
ofce and will be introduced at a news conference Tuesday
morning, a person familiar with the
negotiations between the 11-time cham-
pion coach and the team told the
Associated Press on Friday.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity because the Knicks would
only conrm that a major announce-
ment involving team executives was
scheduled. Jackson also did not make any
immediate public comment.
The move had been expected for sever-
al days, with Knicks star Carmelo
Anthony saying earlier in the week that he was told Jackson
would be coming on board with the team, which has not
won an NBAchampionship since 1973. Jackson played for
that team.
He has been out of the league and largely out of the public
eye since 2011, when he ended his coaching stint with the
Los Angeles Lakers. His arrival in New York will likely
usher in a new era for the Knicks, who may miss the play-
offs this season after winning 54 games a year ago.
Even NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said earlier this
week that he wanted to see Jackson back in the game, say-
ing the league needs him.
Apparently, the Knicks felt they needed him as well.
The 68-year-old Jackson has said in the past that teams
have tried to lure him back to the NBA, and there has been
speculation for several days that this offer from the Knicks
would be good enough to get him to interrupt retirement.
Other than announcing the Tuesday news conference, the
Knicks declined further comment. Jackson won six champi-
onships as coach of the Chicago Bulls, then ve more with
the Lakers.
Now comes a new challenge: Building a winner from the
front ofce.
And hell be facing a number of big questions right away,
such as the fate of coach Mike Woodson, and what can the
team do to try and keep Anthony, who will have the right to
depart as a free agent this summer.

pitched with her dad, so her dad knows what
she can do, Moss said. This is my rst
year with this group. So, Im relying on
some help from the girls and what they can
do. And the dad today called some of the
pitches and thats ne. I dont have a prob-
lem with that.
But he did more than just call pitches.
With the runner at third and the Dons
hottest hitter due up in the person of Nicole
Horita, Fernando Cisneros instructed his
daughter to intentionally walk the danger-
ous cleanup hitter. However, Nicole Horita
represented the winning run. And following
the intentional pass, while Nicole Horita
swiped second base, Mills was already in
the process of walking the following batter,
Doss, to load the bases.
That was a good strategy, Moss said.
The girl who was coming up (after walking
the bases loaded) had struck out twice and
grounded out the second. We were up by one.
(So) load the bases. We did the walks. We
had two outs and we were hoping to get that
one (nal) out. But [Briedis] made nice con-
tact and made a great hit.
Briedis, in fact, was 0 for 3 on the day
heading into her nal at bat. However, in
Aragons 8-7 win Tuesday over Palo Alto,
Briedis went 2 for 4 with two RBI hitting
out of the cleanup spot, and had a critical hit
amid a three-run seventh in the Dons rst
walk-off win of the season.
I believe in her, Hjelm said. I believe
in her. She believes in herself. Shes one of
those players that lives for those pressure
situations. Shes done it twice now for us
back to back. Shes the kid whos going to
ght and ght and ght and look at that as a
slap in the face that they walked two batters
to get to her.
With the two-RBI walk-off knock,
Briedis is now 3 for 8 with four RBIs on the
young season.
It was a wild game all the way around
though. Mi\lls took an early 2-0 lead, plat-
ing two runs in the rst inning on a two-out
ineld hit by Lusi Stanley. And that was just
the beginnings of a big day for Mills No. 5
hitter. The slugger went on to belt home two
three-run home runs in the game and n-
ished the day 3 for 4 with seven RBIs.
Stanleys first homer tied it up after
Aragon went up 7-2 in the second. The Dons
sent 12 batters to the plate in the inning. A
bases-loaded RBI walk to leadoff hitter
Courtney Ching started the innings scor-
ing. Jen Horita followed with a bases-clear-
ing double. Valdez-Frick then tripled her
home. Nicole Horita followed with an RBI
double to score Valdez-Frick.
Mills scored ve in the fth to tie it
though, beginning with an RBI knock from
Gaby Zucchiatti to score Janelle Lee, while
Aubrie Businger came around to score on the
play after an outfield throwing error.
Following a walk to Sara Cisneros, Stanley
blasted the three-run homer to center to tie it.
In the top of the fourth, Mills took a 10-7
lead on Stanleys second three-run bomb of
the game. In the bottom of the frame,
Aragon got one back on a double by Doss to
plate Nicole Horita, cutting the Mills lead
to 10-8.
In the bottom of the fth, Aragon took
the lead back with a four-run rally. Nicole
Bonoglio drew a leadoff walk. With one
out, Ching singled to drive her home and
advanced to third on an outeld error. Jen
Horita followed with an RBI ineld single.
After an infield single by Valdez-Frick,
Nicole Horita belted a two-RBI double to
give the Dons a 12-10 lead.
In the sixth, Mills cut the Dons lead to
12-11 on an RBI double by Cisneros to
score Zucchiatti. And in the top of the sev-
enth, Mills rallied for two with an RBI
triple by Zucchiatti to plate Lee, followed
by an RBI groundout by Sara Cisneros to
score Zucchiatti with the go-ahead run
only to set the stage for Aragons dramatics
in the bottom of the seventh.
Mills, playing in the Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division, falls to 1-4. Aragon,
in the PAL Bay Division, improves to 2-0.

SOFTBALL
through the years, made terric decisions.
They do all the right things. Fans want you
to go out and play fantasy football now;
that is the last thing you should be doing.
That money if you miss is gone and you
dont get it back.
How much money is actually gone is uid,
of course, and the ramifications of big
spending almost always are felt down the
line.
Look at the Broncos, who have commit-
ted $60 million up front to three defensive
players: Talib, end DeMarcus Ware and safe-
ty T.J. Ward. All good players some
would cast pass-rushing master Ware as a
great player. They will upgrade a unit that
could provide the needed balance for Peyton
Mannings offense, and lift Denver to the
championship it missed out on against
Seattle.
For Denver, there is an extra sense of
urgency because Manning turns 38 this
month. So vice president of football opera-
tions John Elway is pushing his chips to
the center of the table, going all in.
And if ve-time MVP Manning retires
after this season or next? The Broncos will
free up a huge chunk they have been spend-
ing on a Hall of Fame-caliber quarterback,
of course. But they also would be on the
hook in a big way for those defensive con-
tracts if they werent structured with so
much money up front.
So when Manning leaves, if Denver goes
into rebuilding mode, theres far less chance
the back ends of those deals will be carried
out.
As the 31-year-old Ware said after leaving
Dallas for Denver: Theyre trying to make
a statement a statement were a team to be
reckoned with. Their mentality is a now
mentality. Not looking forward to next sea-
son or the season after that, the time is
now.
For teams like the Broncos and Patriots
and Saints, with aging but still dynamic
quarterbacks, thats true. Get it done while
Manning, Tom Brady and Drew Brees remain
elite players. Committing big bucks around
them while avoiding overwhelming long-
term implications, is understandable.
Its when non-contenders put together
such deals and become hamstrung by them,
then try to solve their issues with more
spending, that free agency becomes a pit.
The Jets, for example, will be paying
games. New York, which began a four-game
homestand following a 2-1-1 trip, is an NHL-
worst 9-17-8 at home.
Islanders coach Jack Capuano chose to look
on the positive side, despite another defeat at
Nassau Coliseum.
Thats a top-notch team we played, so any
little breakdown and its in the back of your
net, he said. I thought we had a great effort.
We worked hard as a group and we were getting
chances.
Nieto made it 1-0 with 6:33 left in the rst
off a urry in front of Nabokov.
The 38-year-old Nabokov played 563
games for the Sharks during his decade with
the franchise. He left San Jose to play in
Russia after the 2009-10 season, then joined
the Islanders during the 2011-12 campaign.
Demers made it 2-0 at 14:46 with a drive
from the right wing for his fourth of the sea-
son.
Lee cut the Islanders decit in half 32 sec-
onds into the second period, the rookies
sixth goal in eight games this season.
Thornton restored San Joses two-goal lead
with his 10th of the season at 9:32, ring a
rebound past Nabokov after Brent Burns ini-
tial shot came directly to him in the left circle.
The Islanders stayed with the eet and pow-
erful Sharks, and Nelson tipped in Matt
Donovans shot from the point to make it 3-2
at 17:02 of the second for his 12th goal.
But Havlats goal put San Jose up 4-2 before
Nielsen completed the scoring with his 21st
goal of the season at 19:38 of the third with
Nabokov pulled for an extra skater.
The Islanders played without speedy forward
Michael Grabner (concussion) in their rst
home game since trading forward Thomas
Vanek and defenseman Andrew MacDonald last
week.
Johan Sundstrom made his debut for the
Islanders, the ninth rookie to play for them
this season.
The Sharks are 8-1-1 in their streak of 12
games against Eastern opponents. This was
their rst visit to Long Island since Oct. 29,
2011.
The Islanders (25-34-9) tied the franchise
record for goals in a period on Monday, scor-
ing seven in the third in a 7-4 comeback win
over the Canucks in Vancouver. But they mus-
tered little against Niemi (33-13-6), who
replaced Nabokov as the Sharks starter after
helping Chicago win the Stanley Cup in
2010.

so were going to be proactive and take care of
that soon as we can, Melvin added.
Grifn, too, had elbow and forearm issues at
the end of last season.
Its the same area then, Melvin said. It
felt to me at the end of last year he was just run-
ning out of gas, so Im not sure if it is the
same thing or not.
Parker was 12-9 with a 3.97 ERA in 32
starts in 2013, while Grifn went 14-10 with
a 3.83 ERAin 32 starts.
Thats why we have the depth we have,
Melvin said. We have Tommy Milone and
Jesus Chavez has been pitching really well
right now, too.
Until we get nal evaluations of whats
going on with these two guys, were very
comfortable with Milone and Chavez, he
continued.
Milone was 12-9 with a 4.14 ERAlast sea-
son in 28 games, 26 of them starts.
Chavez made ve starts last season with
Triple-A Sacramento, but was used strictly in
relief with Oakland in 35 appearances.
Chavez, who has never started a game in the
majors, is 3-0 without allowing a run in 12 2-
3 innings in four exhibition games, including
two starts.
We basically had six for ve with Milone,
Melvin said of the rotation. Now we have
Chavez, whos been a swing guy for us and a
starter in the minor leagues, a guy that weve
already got stretched out to 65 pitchers, so he
wont miss a beat as for as being potentially
ready for the season if these two guys are not.
ATHLETICS
Its a big status symbol for a pro skateboard-
er.
Its the pinnacle, said pro skateboarder and
MTV star Rob Dyrdek, who founded Street
League Skateboarding in 2010. That idea of
walking around with your own shoe is such a
cool thing for a skateboarder. Theres a big
divide between guys that have shoes and guys
that dont. Guys that have shoes are the true elite
of professional skateboarding.
Dyrdek gives Cole an edge over other top pro
street skateboarders, including Paul Rodriguez
and Nyjah Huston.
As far as sheer rawness, technique, innova-
tion and style, hes up there with my number
No. 1, Dyrdek said.
Big money in skateboarding is a recent devel-
opment, thanks largely to Dyrdeks idea of
building skate parks in arenas and having the
worlds top pros go at it.
This didnt exist to a skateboarder for a long,
long time, Cole said of his lifestyle. My
wildest dream of skateboarding was that one day
I could own a Honda Civic. The baddest dudes in
skateboarding had a Honda Civic. That was like,
Wow, these dudes are making money. It was
like what they could afford. That was a really
good car for a skateboarder.
Cole said he skates for the love of the sport
and doesnt like seeing people doing it just for
the money.
Luckily, you get hella hurt skateboarding,
he said. So you can practice basketball all day
and have your dreams to be a multimillion dol-
lar player, but youre not going to get broken
out on the court, whereas skateboarding weeds
them out, thank God. Its a lot harder for some-
body who doesnt have the love for skateboard-
ing to stay involved. When you get hit in the
shin with that board, you have a decision to
make.
Cole said he knocked out a front tooth when
he was in the seventh grade and did it again as an
eighth grader. Hes ripped groin tendons and
injured his ankles.
Cole pushes the limits and himself, doing
tricks that few others can. One video shows him
wiping out on the concrete 53 times before
landing a 360 kickip at an epic San Francisco
skate spot, the Wallenberg steps. He wipes out
12 more times before landing the trick two
straight times.
Cole won three straight Maloof Money Cup
titles for a total of $300,000 from 2008 to
2010. The Maloof brothers, who at the time
still owned the NBAs Sacramento Kings,
offered a $1 million bonus to any skater who
won four straight titles, but the series folded.
Once Street League began, it took him into
the fourth season to earn his rst victory.
Chris Cole was the most prolic contest
skateboarder in history until Street League came
along. Those rst couple of years, he never got
a win, which was pretty psychotic from our per-
spective, Dyrdek said. He had come close so
many times. On eight different occasions he had
nal trick to take the lead or win and didnt land
that trick.
Last season, when it really mattered most, he
put down the big tricks, Dyrdek said.
Cole said he nally adjusted to the intense
competition.
I actually had to practice, he said. I didnt
really like doing it, so for me to overcome that,
it was like a real accomplishment. It was like
acing a test or something.
While its awesome to get a check for
$200,000, funny enough, I dont think about
it at all when Im skating and I forget that it
comes with money, he said. Im doing it
because I have a little brother syndrome. Im
doing it because I want to be my best right then
and I want that trophy. If theres a trophy, I want
it and Im not ashamed to admit it. If it was an
old boot that was a trophy, I want it. Its a sym-
bol of your hard work and you did your best that
day.

reporters Friday. When I was elected to the
Assembly in 1990 we were 39 percent of
the electorate. Were now less than 29 per-
cent. So we have a signicant rebuilding
operation on our hands.
Brulte said he has been focusing the
partys limited resources on races that are
winnable and where there are viable candi-
dates. He said he has held more than 200
meetings with Republican groups, encour-
aging them to get out of their comfort
zones and talk with people they normally
wouldnt.
Still, turning around years of losing will
be an uphill climb. All statewide elected
ofcials are Democrats, both houses of the
Legislature have large Democratic majori-
ties, and GOP registration has continued to
slide.
Its not going to happen in one election
cycle and its not going to happen in two
election cycles, but were laying the
groundwork, Brulte said.
Defending several congressional and leg-
islative seats will be among the partys top
priorities this year, which will require sig-
nicant nancing.
Some Republican groups also are ramp-
ing up efforts to recruit candidates who
more closely match Californias demo-
graphics. They include GROWElect, which
is targeting Latino candidates to run in
local races, and California Trailblazers,
which is hosting a candidate boot camp
on ideas and solutions that voters sup-
port.
The Trailblazers held a press conference
Friday to introduce a diverse slate of candi-
dates, including Latinos and Asians.
We up here are not the face of the 1970s
Republican Party, said Janet Nguyen, 37,
an Orange County supervisor whose family
came from Vietnam to the U.S. when she
was a child. She is seeking to defeat incum-
bent Sen. Jose Solorio, a Democrat, in
what is expected to be a competitive race
that could determine the fate of the
Democrats two-thirds control of the state
Senate.
With roughly 1,000 delegates attending,
the convention also presents a chance for
candidates to woo would-be supporters and
volunteers. Two Republicans who are hop-
ing to challenge Democratic Gov. Jerry
Brown this fall will be making a strong
push with delegates: Assemblyman Tim
Donnelly, a conservative from the moun-
tain community of Twin Peaks in San
Bernardino County, and former U.S.
Treasury ofcial Neel Kashkari, a moderate.
Fridays events include a reception hon-
oring Kevin Faulconer, who recently won
the San Diego mayors ofce in a closely
fought and well-funded race. Republicans
are pointing to that race as evidence they
can succeed elsewhere.
Republican National Committee
Chairman Reince Priebus will address the
group later Friday, and former Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice is the keynote
speaker Saturday.

San Jose, Osmond was born at Mills
Hospital in San Mateo and has spent her
career primarily working in education. She
graduated from California State University
at Sacramento with a degree in English and
later earned a teaching credential, going on
to teach high school. She also worked as
associate director of development for the
Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.
I love coming to work every day, she
said. I love the faculty, staff and I love the
girls. Teenagers are a remarkable age group
and we have the best here. Theyre bright,
caring, friendly and eager girls. Every girl
wants to be here and thrives in this envi-
ronment.
What does she see as the benets of a sin-
gle gender Catholic school like Notre
Dame?
We offer a rigorous academic program in
a caring, compassionate environment, she
said. We educate the whole person intel-
lectually, emotionally, physically and spir-
itually. Its exciting teaching 21st century
skills combined with timeless skills. When
they graduate, we want them to be critical
thinkers, agile, have a sense of being an
entrepreneur, dream big, know no bound-
aries, be a leader, have a sense of compas-
sion, have a sense of others and understand
the critical role theyll have in their com-
munity.
The school is continuing to adapt curricu-
lum to match with skills needed in todays
world. She notes that science, technology,
engineering and mathematics are very
important right now.
Fundraising for the school is also impor-
tant to strengthen and enhance programs,
along with tuition assistance.
Private Catholic education is expensive
and we want to guarantee Notre Dame educa-
tion will remain accessible, affordable and
available, she said. Our tuition is compet-
itive and not out of range for private educa-
tion on the Peninsula.
Osmond also wants to focus on continu-
ing to nd and attract the very best young
women to attend the school.
There are lots of high school choices
both public and private and our job is to
continue to dene our niche, she said. Its
a big challenge for us.
The schools faculty doesnt tend to have
high turnover and she wants to continue
that trend by attracting and retaining the
best teachers.

FRESNO A state appellate court has
ruled that California water ofcials cannot
go onto private property for soil testing
and other studies related to construction of
two massive tunnels that would siphon
water from the Sacramento River.
Nancy Vogel of the states Department of
Water Resources said Friday that ofcials
anticipated the ruling and work wont be
delayed.
The decision handed down Thursday by
the states 3rd District Court of Appeal says
an intrusion on private property without
permission violates the California
Constitution.
If built, the Bay Delta Conservation Plan
estimated to cost billions of dollars
would send fresh water around the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to Central
and Southern California.
The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed
against the state by more than 150 property
owners in Sacramento, San Joaquin, Yol o,
Solano and Contra Costa counties.
The three-judge panel ruled 2-1 in a 44-
page decision with the majority opinion
saying the state must adhere to eminent
domain laws, which give property owners
the right to a jury trial to determine a fair
payment for taking away their land.
Acts such as testing soil, observing or
trapping animals either by driving onto
property, using boats or going on foot
amount to taking and trigger the need for
eminent domain proceedings, the majority
opinion said.
The Sacramento Bee reported Friday
that state officials dont want to buy
land mostly owned by farmers and
ranchers before they decide it is need-
ed for the water project.
Vogel said in a statement that the state
has already built time into the projects
schedule for such measures.
Based on the lower courts decision, (the
state) has been proceeding pursuant to the
eminent domain process to conduct geot-
echnical drilling and will continue to do
so, she said. Thus, the (projects) sched-
ule takes into account the time needed for
this process.
State officials will likely ask the
California Supreme Court to review the rul-
ing, the newspaper reported.

here are many factors that con-
vinced me to deactivate my
Facebook account in October, but
the primary reason I
deactivated my account
was how it made me feel.
I realized that I, proba-
bly like many others,
only went on Facebook
when I was alone. One of
my friends made a com-
ment one night while we
were hanging out that
really resonated with me. She said Why
am I on Facebook? All my friends are here.
No one really goes on Facebook when
they are with their friends. Facebooking is
an activity reserved for those late nights
when all your plans fall through when
your friend gets grounded last minute thus
ruining your planned escapades.
Every time I was on Facebook, I wasnt
making memories of my own; instead, I
was viewing the memories others created
and were now visible to everyone through
the pictures they posted. Sure, I would chat
with friends and we would post on each
others walls, but there was an articiality
to that connection. You can talk on
Facebook all you want but, 10 years from
now, youre not going to remember those
extensive messages you had via chat.
Those are going to be long forgotten
(Well, not exactly forgotten since
Facebook so diligently records everything;
but, those arent the memories and stories
that you will tell your children someday).
So in pursuit of creating lasting memories,
as cheesy as that sounds, I deactivated my
Facebook account.
Following the weeks of my account deac-
tivation, I found myself at my friends
birthday party where we were discussing the
latest happenings. Somebody mentioned in
passing that a longtime couple had broken
up. Surprised, I asked when that had hap-
pened, and they told me that the couple had
broken up weeks ago and gave me a quizzi-
cal look, shocked at my ignorance.
Although I hate being out of the loop as
much as the next person, I realized that, in
retrospect, I really didnt care and shouldnt
care about that couples breakup. Facebook
had allowed me to catch a glimpse of the
personal lives of many, and I became accus-

LOS ANGELES Canceled by the CWi n
2007, the cult-fave mystery series
Veronica Mars completed its third season
with an (open-ended) episode titled The
Bitch Is Back. Revived for the big screen,
the gumshoe drama nds its title character,
nine years later, insisting that shes in a
mellower frame of mind, no longer the
angry, crime-solving kickass who thrills to
danger. As if.
After a murder hits close to home, the law-
school grad tosses aside her sleek job-inter-
view threads and is soon sleuthing it up
among the rich, famous, corrupt and
depraved who populate her SoCal home-
town. Kristen Bell is in ne form as the
sharp-witted and stiletto-tongued Veronica,
whose high polish on the art of sarcasm has
endeared her to fans as a supremely self-pos-
sessed outsider.
As with the TV show, the connect-the-
dots mystery solving is less interesting
than the character dynamics; crimes unravel
with a directness that feels aimed at younger
audiences. The dark doings are leavened,
and sometimes undercut, by comedy, and by
angst thats not far removed from adoles-
Veronica Mars makes solid cinematic turn
By Jake Coyle
The delicate and lovingly hand-made
Ernest & Celestine captures the whimsy
and warmth of a dearly felt childrens picture
book like few movies before.
The Oscar-nominated animated French-
Belgian lm is a simply rendered tale about
a friendship between a mouse and a bear,
painted with watercolor backgrounds and
hand-sketched characters. In a movie land-
scape crowded with awesome digital anima-
tions and forgettable big-budget cartoon
blockbusters, Ernest & Celestine is a
humble oasis of gentle and inventive story-
telling.
Though the film lost out to Disneys
mighty Frozen at the Academy Awards,
children and adults will be thrilled by this
meek underdog, which is being released
both in its original French and an English
redubbing voiced by Forest Whitaker,
Lauren Bacall, Paul Giamatti and child
actress Mackenzie Foy. (This review is of
the French original, which holds the charm
of hearing little children mice speaking
timidly in French. Be warned: The cuteness
is almost unbearable.)
An orphanage of mice has gathered around
Celestine (voiced by Pauline Brunner, the
daughter of Triplets of Belleville producer
Didier Brunner, also a producer here), a
bright young mouse who despite the

tomed to knowing things like when some-
one got together, when people broke up or
maybe even to what college that someone
got accepted. Facebook allowed me to
cross many invisible boundaries and
opened the doors to boundless information
about my acquaintances. There is some
knowledge to which Id rather not be privy.
In deactivating my Facebook account, I
activated a re-evaluation of myself and the
way I spend my time.
My life certainly did not take a 180-
degree turn for the better after deactivation,
but it did improve in some ways. Without
Facebook, I no longer was keeping tabs on
my dozens of friends that I never talked
to in real life. And in a sense, I nd free-
dom in that escape. Although being dis-
connected initially sounded like an agoniz-
ing way to live my life, I nd myself con-
tent in not knowing. Instead of investing
my time tracking the lives of others, I can
focus on my life. And I have become more
productive; in fact, I nished my college
applications faster than I ever anticipated.
I also lost an easy gateway to procrastinate
on my homework. With this extra time, I
can invest it in creating meaningful memo-
ries with the people that mean the most to
me memories like searching for an
Indian restaurant that serves butter chicken
on a rainy night with one of my best
friends, trekking into the city to see Union
Square alit with holiday festivities while
also reuniting with college friends home
for break, or even just going to Chipotle
after school to shoot the breeze over burri-
tos.

cence. Thomas sex, drugs and rock n roll
neo-noir has a young-adult heart that still
beats strong, even with Veronica and her
friends well into their twenties. The 10-year
reunion of Neptune High just happens to be
impending when Veronica returns home to
help solve a murder, and teen allegiances,
animosities and romances loom large in the
lm, which features many actors reprising
their small-screen roles.
Creator Rob Thomas and co-scripter
Diane Ruggiero provide a concise recap of
the series trajectory, in the form of a styl-
ized montage with voiceover narration, that
will bring even newbies up to speed on the
central character. Cut to Manhattan, where
the sight of Veronica in the glass-walled
conference room of a prestigious
Manhattan law rm, interviewing for a job,
is bound to disappoint acionados, who are
used to seeing her speak truth to power, not
cozy up to it.
The crime that brings her back to her cti-
tious beach town of Neptune, Calif., is the
apparent murder of pop star Bonnie DeVille
(Andrea Estella), a high school classmate
and girlfriend of Veronicas former ame
Logan (Jason Dohring), himself a demi-
celebrity because hes the son of an actor.
Hes suspect No. 1, and Veronica doesnt
hesitate to drop everything to help him,
leaving behind a potential new job in New
York and supportive boyfriend Piz (Chris
Lowell).
VERONICA
stern warnings of their frightful headmaster
(Anne-Marie Loop) that such ideas are dan-
gerous imagines a bear and mouse as pals.
In the world of Ernest & Celestine, this
is tantamount to heresy. The mice live below
ground and the bears above the car-driv-
ing, shop-keeping human equivalents in this
universe. Their lone interaction is when a
bear cub loses a tooth, which the fairy
mouse replaces with a coin. (This, it turns
out, is a mutually benecial deal, since mice
dentists depend on bear teeth to fashion
tooth replacements.)
Its when Celestine is on such a fairy
mouse mission that shes discovered by a
shrieking family and thrown out of the house
and into the trash. The next day, shes unwit-
tingly rescued by Ernest, a grumpy and woe-
fully unsuccessful street-musician clad in a
ragged old overcoat and hat. (When police
conscate his one-man-band instruments,
Ernest eats the ticket.)
Desperate for food, he initially tries to
swallow Celestine, too, as he rummages
through garbage cans. Though greatly out-
sized, she cheerfully extends her paw and
introduces herself. The plucky Celestine then
slaps him across the nose and chastises, Do
you think a little mouse like me will ll you
up?
But after Celestine leads him to sweets,
they start up an unlikely friendship and,
later, become wanted burglars on the lam.
Celestine is sought by mice police (for
Celestines afliation with a bear), while
Ernest is pursued by bear police (for his food
stealing and, to help Celestine, tooth thiev-
ery). Even holed up in his country cabin,
they dont immediately hit it off, as Ernest
still turns his nose up at living with an infe-
rior mouse.
Its a little story, told economically and
with graceful minimalism. Sound effects have
the simplicity of a Richard Bresson lm. The
music by jazz cellist Vincent Courtois is a
sweetly melancholy companion to the fairy
tale, which despite its cuteness, has a rascal-
ly French sense of humor, too.
Where did such a lovely little movie
come from? Its based on the whimsical
childrens books by the Belgian author
Gabrielle Vincent (the first Ernest &
Celestine book dates to 1980) and direct-
ed by the young French animator
Benjamin Renner, joined by co-directors
Vincent Patar and Stiphane Aubier.
Together, theyve created not just a posi-
tively charming movie, but an ode to the tac-
tile pleasures of handcrafted artistry.
Moviegoers will swear the coloring ink must
have stained their local theaters movie
screens.
Its very nearly the sweetest thing ever, a
magical reminder that the movies just need a
little heart and the resolve to be intimate
when so many lms would rather boast their
size. Its a movie to share, like a cherished
picture book or a beloved Calvin and Hobbes
Sunday strip, with imaginative pipsqueaks
like Celestine.
Ernest & Celestine, a GKIDS release, is
rated PG by the Motion Picture Association
of American for some scary moments.
Running time: 80 minutes. Three and a half
stars out of four.

SPEARE COMPANY CAPTURES A
WOMANS WRENCHING DESCENT
INTO MADNESS. After a long series of tri-
als and adventures, Greek hero Jason has
abandoned his wife, Medea, along with their
two children, in the hopes of advancing his
station by marrying the daughter of King
Creon. Jasons abandonment of his family
crushes Medea, driving her to override her
maternal instincts, curse the existence of
their two children, and carry out an unimag-
inable quest for justice. A classic Greek
tragedy driven by passion and madness. 95
minutes without intermission. Directed by
Dawn Monique Williams. Through March 30.
AN ASIDE: Director Williams said,
Perhaps it was the fact that I was a new
mother at the time I rst directed the play, but
Medeas inconsolable grief permeated my
psyche. I saw a play about postpartum
depression. I saw Susan Smith, Andrea
Evans. I wondered the big unanswerable ques-
tion, What would drive a mother to such hor-
rible acts? I still wonder that now.

The accusations against Patricia
Moore and the Moore Foster Home,
which was licensed in San Mateo
County to accept medically fragile
infants, include housing children in a
cold basement, withholding food from
them as punishment, extreme diaper
rashes and sexual abuse, stated the suit
filed on behalf of the minor A. J.
through her guardian Chantel Johnson
against the Foster Family Home and
Small Family Home Insurance Fund.
The fund pays claims of foster chil-
dren, parents and guardians led in
relation to foster services. Johnson is
also suing Moore and her family, the
city and county of San Francisco and
San Mateo County but that piece is in
federal court.
The civil case stems from the care
and injuries of A.J., an 8-month-old a
medically fragile infant removed from
her parents in San Francisco and
placed in Moores care in 2009. In
August 2010, South San Francisco
police arrested Moore after Kaiser
Medical Center staff reported a toddler
was brought in by Moores daughter,
Coi, with first- and second-degree
burns on her buttocks. According to
prosecutors, Moore later told authori-
ties she used bleach-soaked diapers to
clean the child who soiled herself quite
often. Doctors allegedly noted the
burns were in a wafe pattern like that
of diaper fabric. Moore allegedly also
could not explain why, if the girl had
been bathed, she didnt have burns on
other parts of her body that would have
been submerged, such as her legs.
In May 2011, Judge Richard
Livermore dismissed the abuse case
against Moore citing insufcient evi-
dence but in fall 2012 prosecutors suc-
cessfully asked a criminal grand jury to
indict on felony charges of willful cru-
elty to a child and iniction of injury
on a child. The case settled in 2013
with Moore, 68, being allowed to
plead no contest to misdemeanor child
endangerment with the caveat she
receive a 20-day suspended sentence
and not serve any time. She was
ordered to complete a year of child
abuse treatment, placed on three years
supervised probation and prohibited
from caring for future foster children.
An endangerment charge means a
person is accused of acting negligent-
ly in a way that is likely to result in
physical injury or death rather than
acting more knowingly, such as a
deliberate blow.
But according to Johnsons lawsuit
led March 13 in San Mateo County
Superior Court, the burned toddler was
not the only incident in which Moore
and her foster home allegedly neglect-
ed of injured children in its care. The
suit claims at least 13 allegations
include complaints of failure to prop-
erly wash, clean and feed children and
failing to take them to medical
appointments or give them prescribed
medication. The suit states that med-
ical professionals, social workers and
psychotherapists raised the com-
plaints which included numerous and
severe diaper rashes, unexplained
bruising and neglect of medical care
but that San Francisco social workers
knowingly left A.J. in the Moore
home for nearly a year. During this
time, according to the suit, A.J. had
several diaper rashes and another
infant was removed in February 2010
for a severe diaper rash that raised red
flags for one social worker about
Moores care.
Another foster infant had bruising
which led the biological mother to
contact police and Moore admitted to
not giving A.J. her prescribed medica-
tion, the suit stated.
The day after the Aug. 17, 2010,
bleach burns, Moores daughter, who
was not a licensed caregiver took the
child to the hospital, the suit stated.
In totality, Moore severely neglect-
ed A.J. while she was in her care, caus-
ing A.J.s development to be stunted
and harming her mentally, physically
and emotionally, attorney Gerald
Singleton wrote in the suit.
Moore could not be reached for com-
ment and Susan J. Kawala, the
California Attorney Generals Ofce
attorney representing the fund, did not
return an inquiry.
A case management conference is
scheduled for May 22.

MOORE
climb inside the dingy, El Toro, for a
photo. Specially commissioned
murals painted by Burlingame artist
Fred Sinclair will also offer another
glimpse into how the ships may have
looked and traveled centuries ago.
The previous exhibit was beautiful
but didnt really offer a cohesive and
chronological explanation to visitors
of what the ships really were and in
some cases their connection to the
area, Deputy Director Carmen Blair
said during a tour of the gallery as it
was under construction.
People would ask about the histo-
ry, Blair said. What is this? What
does this have to do with San Mateo
County?
In its revamped form winding
through four different themes ship-
wrecks, warships, working ships and
ships of discovery many of the
model ships were chosen for display
inside and will be joined by a four-
minute video about the history and cur-
rent activities at the Port of Redwood
City. Visitors will encounter the video
and other models in the hallway out-
side the gallery as a bit of a teaser
before stepping inside to see models
like the Golden Hind of 1577, Sir
Francis Drakes English galleon that
sailed up the California coast, and
Stockholm, a Swedish royal warship
from 1628. Rounding out the gallery
corners is the former lens from the
Point Montara lighthouse, retired
when it became automated, informa-
tional kiosks and an actual 150-year-
old cannon.
Each model ship has a placard offer-
ing a bit of its history and the scale to
which it was built.
The renovations are courtesy of a
grant from the Christensen Family
Foundation.
The majority of county residents
probably arent well-versed in its local
maritime history, said Postel, who dis-
covered along with his staff new bits
of trivia while putting the exhibit
together.
Postel puzzled over ve docks jut-
ting like ngers into the Bay near San
Francisco International Airport. Were
they some type of runway? They were
actually concrete barges used to haul
cargo for the Navy and remnants of the
Blair Shipyard in South San Francisco
that are still visible at the current
South San Francisco Water Quality
Control Plant.
The reopening of the exhibit is also
a nice way to introduce Parsons and his
creations to members of the public
who might not have experienced it
yet, Curator Dana Neitzel said.
Parsons, who died in 2004, moved to
the Peninsula after World War II and
focused on a lifelong passion for
model ship building after his retire-
ment in San Carlos. The details are
accurate even inside the models where
they might not be easily viewed.
There is nothing here you could nd
in a kit, Postel said.
Many of the models took up to 18
months to build and the original dis-
play opened in 2000.
The ships are protected by
Plexiglass but the covering also clues
museum staff into the USS. The
Sullivans being a particular crowd
favorite the fingerprints give it
away.

DILBERT CROSSWORD PUZZLE
CRANKY GIRL
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 2014
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) An encounter with
an old friend may open up past wounds. Get any
issues out in the open and clear the air. Put history
behind you, and move on.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may feel that no
matter what you do, you arent getting any farther
ahead. Dont expect others to be sympathetic. Rather
than complain, plug away until you reach your goal.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) There are many
interesting events underway that wont break your
budget. Include the ones you love in your plans. Put
aside any demands that are weighing you down and
have some fun.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Expect someone to
break a promise or let you down. Even though you are
disappointed, resist the urge to seek revenge. Chalk it
up to experience and continue to do your own thing.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You can make a
valuable connection. The time is right to share your
skills and ideas. Collaborating with an unusual
partner will result in a new moneymaking venture.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) There is no need to be
confined to doing the same thing over and over
again. Be inventive, use your imagination and be
open to new experiences.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You need a change
at home, but before getting started on an
improvement project, you should consult those who
share your space. You may end up undoing what
has already been completed.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Love is on the rise. Be
alert to what is happening around you. Dont reveal
personal information up front. Someone may be
trying to sabotage your plans.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Believe in what you
do. There will always be someone who tries to change
your opinion or criticize your ideas. Welcome any
helpful advice and ignore the negative remarks.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Stay close to
home, where you feel safe and comfortable. Giving
in to emotional vulnerability in social settings will
lower your confidence. A minor disagreement can
escalate rapidly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Follow up on
any financial leads that manifest themselves. A
profitable investment is likely if you play your cards
right. Listen carefully to any complaints, and be
honest about your feelings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Positive changes are
heading your way. Your talents and capabilities are
gaining momentum and attention. Taking on too much
at once will be your downfall. Pick and choose wisely.
