The recent announcement of the
closure of Notre Dame de Namur
Universitys Early Learning
Center this June has some parents
upset with the timing and reason-
ing for the programs termination,
while others wonder what will
happen to the space and its
resources.
In the letter to parents and
teachers, President Judith Greig
said Notre Dame has been consid-
ering the future of the center for
some time because the Montessori
school, which serves preschool
and kindergarten children, is not
part of the core university mis-
sion. She noted the preschool also
places a significant burden on
Notre Dame management and
resources that is becoming
increasingly difcult to justify.
The future of the space is still up in
the air, said Richard Rossi, Notre
Dame director of communications.
Parent Amanda Greco has one
daughter at the preschool and said
she was fortunate she is eligible
for transitional kindergarten at
public schools next year other-
wise she would have been left
without a place for her to attend
school. She was surprised to hear
about the closure and is worried for
those who havent registered for
other preschools since most
enrollment deadlines have passed.
The teachers are wonderful and
the facility is one of the most
beautiful, magical spaces we saw
on whole Peninsula when we were
looking at preschools, she said.

that just joined the school and
dont have the option of transi-

The public will have another
chance to weigh in on a proposed
eight-story residential develop-
ment in downtown San Mateo as
the Planning Commission holds a
study session on the pre-applica-
tion for Essex at Central Park.
Though its early in the public
planning process, concerns have
been raised about the potential 75-
foot buildings impact on trafc,
parking and Central Park directly
to the south.
Veril Phillips, president of
Gramercy on the Park
Homeowners Association on
Laurel Avenue east of Central Park,
wants an extensive analysis of the
proposal.
What I see primarily, is there
are a lot of issues that need to be
examined and I worry [Essex] will
make downtown San Mateo worse
rather than better, Phillips said.
Because I think there are too
many risks in terms of parking and
lighting and impact on Central
Park itself.

Oxnard police seek woman
who saved surfers life
OXNARD Authorities in Ventura
County want to find and thank a
woman who helped revive a surfer who
was knocked unconscious.
The Ventura County Star says the
surfer was spotted face down in the
water off Mandalay Beach in Oxnard
Saturday morning.
Police Sgt. Rob Flinn says the man
had an accident and had not been
breathing for several minutes.
A surfer and a body-boarder paddled
out to the incapacitated man and
brought him to shore.
One of them was Lawrence Manion,
retired police chief of the Los Angeles
Unied School District.
With a woman who had seen what
was happening, Manion gave CPR to
the unconscious surfer.
Flinn says CPR undoubtedly saved
the mans life and police want to thank
the woman.
Flinn says the surfer was recovering
at a hospital.
Dozens of Southern
California cars vandalized
COSTAMESA Authorities in Los
Angeles and Orange counties are look-
ing for vandals who damaged more
than 60 cars in two weekend crime
sprees.
Los Angeles County sheriffs of-
cials say vandals using pellet guns
shattered windows of at least 30
parked cars, along with two business
windows, between late Saturday night
and Sunday morning in Lancaster.
In Orange County, police in Costa
Mesa say 31 cars, three lighting x-
tures and an American ag were vandal-
ized with spray paint early Sunday
morning. Vandals also apparently
sprayed a garage and set a car on re.
Police say the cars were painted with
lines but some also had smiley faces
and the words ha ha.
No arrests have been made in either
case.
Vegas police seek vehicle
in gas station hit-and-run
LAS VEGAS Las Vegas police
were hoping Monday that distributing
a security video of a car striking a man
in the parking lot of a convenience
store would lead to an arrest in the
apparent hit-and-run road rage case.
The video shows the injured man,
wearing red sweatshirt and his base-
ball cap knocked from his head,
writhing on the ground as a dark gray
Honda Accord drives away a little
before noon Feb. 6 at a gas station at
Flamingo Road and Jones Boulevard.
The man, in his 70s, suffered serious
leg injuries, police Officer Laura
Meltzer said. His name wasnt made
public.
Meltzer said the incident was preced-
ed by a brief trafc dispute between the
man who was hit and the motorist in
the Accord near the convenience store,
about 2 miles west of the Las Vegas
Strip.
The video shows the four-door
Accord with tinted rear windows and a
California license plate stopping for a
moment as the man walks toward the
store, and then advancing and knock-
ing him to the pavement and driving
away west on Flamingo Road.

San Mateo County health inspectors
briefly closed the Jockey Club satellite
wagering room in San Mateo more than a
week ago but operators chalk it up to equip-
ment failure and a communication hiccup
after taking over the sites food and bever-
age service.
The Health System closed the club at 2495
S. Delaware St. Feb. 13 after an inspector
found the hot water temperature below the
required level. Chris Carpenter, general
manager of the San Mateo County Event
Center, which operates the club, said a
breaker blew on the boiler which caused the
temperature drop but that the system was
xed quickly. The club was closed for the
last hour of business due to the temperature
but reopened on time the next day,
Carpenter said.
The club was also knocked for not operat-
ing with a valid health permit which
Carpenter and Ronny Tompot, general man-
ager of food and beverage, said was a mis-
communication. The Event Center brought
food and beverage in-house in December and
both men said they erroneously thought the
permits from previous provider Ovation
which are good through April would auto-
matically transfer when it changed hands.
They did not, but the situation was rectied.
Health System spokeswoman Robyn
Thaw conrmed the Jockey Club corrected
the issues promptly.
The Jockey Club opened in 2008 after the
closure of the privately owned Bay
Meadows race track. The facility has been a
nancial boom for the Event Center which
operates the club.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Redwood City teen who, two days
before his 18th birthday, shot a rival
gangmember in the buttocks during an
argument over turf pleaded no contest to
assault and other charges to avoid a trial
for premeditated attempted murder.
With his plea deal, Oscar Garcia-Molina,
18, immediately received nine years in
prison rather than stand trial and face a
potential life sentence if convicted.
Garcia-Molina pleaded no contest to
felony assault with a semi-automatic
firearm and the special allegations he
inflicted great bodily injury, used a firearm
and acted to benefit a street gang.
Although Garcia-Molina was still a
minor at the time of the Aug. 17, 2013,
shooting, prosecutors charged him as an
adult because of his age and the serious-
ness of the case.
According to prosecutors, shortly after
midnight, Garcia-Molina got into an argu-
ment with the victim who was sitting in a
parking lot drinking with friends. The two
fought over which gang territory claimed the
parking lot and Garcia-Molina allegedly
pulled out a handgun and shot the other male.
While in custody without bail, Garcia-
Molina accumulated 178 days credit toward
his sentence. He must also pay standard
court fees and fines.

en driving following a collision that
injured ve passengers early Sunday morn-
ing in Redwood City, police said.
At about 1:40 a.m., Redwood City police

State Senate leaders agree
boundary law is unclear
SACRAMENTO The
Republican and Democratic leaders
of the state Senate on Monday said a
law that ensnared a legislator on
perjury and voter-fraud charges is
ambiguous and might need to be
changed.
Sen. Roderick Wright is awaiting
sentencing in May after he was con-
victed last month of lying about his
true residence, which a Los Angeles
County jury determined was outside
his Senate district.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, and
Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff,
R-Diamond Bar, said in separate
comments to reporters that current
state law is so ambiguous that other
lawmakers also could be in viola-
tion of a requirement that they live
in the district they represent while
running for ofce.
A wigged San Mateo bank rob-
bery suspect nabbed for the bomb-
threat heist after police responded
to a medical call at a motel and dis-
covered the phony detonator and
distinctive costume pleaded no
contest to felony robbery.
In return for taking the plea
deal, Gerard Joseph Myer, 53,
faces up to two years in prison
when sentenced March 27.
On Oct. 1, 2013, a man later
identied as Myer wearing a cos-
tume wig/hat combination and
sunglasses entered a Wells Fargo
bank on Fourth Avenue and handed
the teller a demand note. The teller
saw what she thought was a bomb
detonator in his hand and lled his
bag with $7,721. Just before the
robbery, a worker had spotted him
adjusting his wig and hat in the
reective glass of a nearby busi-
ness and took a photo which
police later used on a ier seeking
information.
Six days later, Myer called for
help at the Vagabond Inn in
Burlingame because his girlfriend
was having a seizure. Police
reported recognizing Myer from
the photo and recovering the wig,
T-shirt and detonator from the rob-
bery. Police also found $868 in
cash.
Myer, a transient, remains in
custody on $50,000 bail pending
sentencing.
Wigged bank robber takes plea deal
A convicted asher accused of
masturbating in front of a San
Mateo woman doing laundry in her
apartment building last week told
authorities he originally entered
the room to steal clothes, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Ignacio Resendro Martinez, 40,
pleaded not guilty to charges
including felony indecent expo-
sure, residential burglary, posses-
sion of methamphetamine and
drug paraphernalia, being under
the inuence and resisting arrest.
San Mateo police arrested
Martinez Feb. 19 after nding him
hiding in a storage room of a dif-
ferent building. He was reportedly
under the inuence of drugs and
had a methamphetamine pipe.
The 37-year-old apartment resi-
dent who called police told them
the man later identied as Martinez
climbed through the laundry room
window and began masturbating in
front of her. When the woman
pulled out her phone, the man ed
and she called police.
Martinez told police he origi-
nally went to the laundry room to
steal clothing, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
Martinez has a 2005 conviction
for indecent exposure. He was sen-
tenced in that case to a year in jail
and ve years probation.
In the new allegations, Martinez
returns to court March 5 for a pre-
liminary hearing estimated to last
90 minutes.
He remains in custody on
$150,000 bail.
Accused laundry room flasher pleads not guilty

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court appeared divided on Monday
over the sole Obama administra-
tion program already in place to
limit power plant and factory
emissions of gases blamed for
global warming.
The justices took on a small,
complicated piece of the political-
ly charged issue of cutting green-
house gas emissions in an extend-
ed argument that included refer-
ences to Dunkin Donuts stores,
football games and light bulbs.
The examples were meant to illus-
trate the vast potential reach of
the program, in its critics view,
or its limited nature, as the admin-
istration argued.
The presence of Senate
Republican Leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky in the
courtroom underscored the politi-
cal stakes in President Barack
Obamas high-profile effort to
deal with global warming a
policy Obama is pursuing after
failing to persuade Congress to
enact climate change legislation.
McConnell is facing a tough re-
election ght in which he refers
often to the administrations
assault on the coal industry in
Kentucky and elsewhere.
The courts liberal justices
seemed comfortable with the scope
of an Environmental Protection
Agency permitting program that
applies to companies that want to
expand facilities or build new ones
that would increase overall pollu-
tion. Under the program, the com-
panies must evaluate ways to reduce
the carbon they release. Carbon
dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas.

Caddyshack. National
Lampoons Animal House.
Ghostbusters. Groundhog Day.
Stripes.
Those titles are some of the most
beloved and widely quoted comedy
classics of the last 30 years. Theyre
also Harold Ramis lmography.
Ramis, the writer-director-actor who
quietly and often off-screen created an
unparalleled and hugely influential
body of laughs, died Monday. He was
69.
He suffered for several years from an
autoimmune disease that caused inam-
mation and damage to his blood ves-
sels, and died at his home in the
Chicago suburbs, surrounded by family
and friends, his tal-
ent agency said.
His death rattled a
modern comedy
world Ramis helped
build. His legacy as
a father figure to
generations of
comedians was
appropriately cap-
tured in Judd
Apatows Knocked Up, in which
Ramis was cast as Seth Rogens father,
Apatow said, because we all saw him
as the dream dad.
Harold Ramis made almost every
movie which made me want to become
a comedy director, Apatow said.
These lms are the touchstones of our
lives.
Chevy Chase, whom Ramis directed
in Caddyshack and National
Lampoons Vacation, called him a
great man who shunned unnecessary
Hollywood-type publicity.
It was Harold who acted out and
gave me the inspiration for the charac-
ter of Clark Griswold, Chase said
Monday. I was really copying
Harolds impression of Clark.
Admittedly lacking the dashing lead-
ing-man looks of some of his peers,
Ramis was memorably nebbish: curly
haired, gangly and bespectacled. He
played Ghostbuster scientist Egon
Spengler (naturally, the brainy one
with all the ideas), and Bill Murrays
Army recruit buddy in Stripes.
But the Chicago native and early
member of the improv comedy troupe
Second City was a far larger force
behind the camera.

Dingell, longest-serving
congressman, to retire
SOUTHGATE, Mich. Rep.
John Dingell, who played a key
role in some of
the biggest lib-
eral legislative
victories of the
past 60 years,
said Monday
that he will not
try to add to
what is already
the longest con-
g r e s s i o n a l
career in history.
The Michigan Democrat, who
was elected to his late fathers seat
in 1955 and has held it ever since,
announced his decision while
addressing a chamber of commerce
in Southgate, near Detroit.
Afterward, he told reporters that he
will not run for a 30th full term
because he could not have lived up
to his own standards.
I dont want people to be sorry
for me. ... I dont want to be going
out feet-rst and I dont want to do
less than an adequate job, said the
87-year-old Dingell, who cut a
physically imposing gure in his
prime but now uses a cane or motor-
ized cart to get around the Capitol.
Bill Clinton takes 2014
surrogate role, helps Dems
WASHINGTON Bill Clinton,
popular in territory unfriendly to
President Barack
Obama, is
reprising his
role as a super-
surrogate for
Democrats bat-
tling to keep
their Senate
majority and
win other races.
In the long run,
Clinton could
pick up political chits for his wife,
Hillary Rodham Clinton, should
she run for president in 2016.
The political terrain is rough in
these Senate battleground states.
Obamas signature domestic
achievement, the Affordable Care
Act, is unpopular. Obama himself
has soft poll numbers. Many
Democrats wont appear with the
president, even though theyll
accept his prodigious fundraising
help.

WASHINGTON Looking
beyond Americas post-9/11 wars,
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on
Monday proposed shrinking the
Army to its smallest size in 74
years, closing bases and reshap-
ing forces to confront a more
volatile, more unpredictable
world with a more nimble mili-
tary.
The nation can afford a smaller
military so long as it retains a
technological edge and the agility
to respond on short notice to
crises anywhere on the globe,
Hagel said. He said the priorities
he outlined reflect a consensus
view among Americas military
leaders, but Republicans in
Congress were quick to criticize
some proposed changes.
In a speech at the one-year mark
of his tenure as Pentagon chief,
Hagel revealed many details of the
defense spending plan that will be
part of the 2015 budget that
President Barack Obama will sub-
mit to Congress next week. Hagel
described it as the rst Pentagon
budget to fully reect the nations
transition from 13 years of war.
At the core of his plan is the
notion that after wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan that proved longer
and more costly than foreseen, the
U.S. military will no longer be
sized to conduct large and protract-
ed ground wars. It will put more
emphasis on versatile, agile
forces that can project power over
great distances, including in Asia.
Hagel stressed that such
changes entail risk. He said, We
are entering an era where
American dominance on the seas,
in the skies and in space can no
longer be taken for granted.
However, budget constraints
demand that spending be managed
differently from the past, with an
eye to cutting costs across a wide
front, including in areas certain to
draw opposition in the Congress,
he said.
He proposed, for example, a
variety of changes in military
compensation, including smaller
pay raises, a slowdown in the
growth of tax-free housing
allowances and a requirement that
retirees and some families of
active-duty service members pay a
little more in health insurance
deductibles and co-pays.

WASHINGTON The nations
governors emerged from a meet-
ing with President Barack Obama
on Monday claiming harmony,
only to immediately break into an
on-camera partisan feud in front of
the West Wi ng.
Louisiana Republican Gov.
Bobby Jindal lashed out rst, say-
ing if Obama were serious about
growing the economy he would
approve the Keystone XL pipeline
project and take other executive
actions.
Instead, Jindal said, Obama
seems to be waving the white ag
of surrender on the economy by
focusing on raising the federal
minimum wage to $10.10, up from
$7.25. The Obama economy is
now the minimum wage economy.
I think we can do better than that,
Jindal said.
Jindals statements were the
kind that Republicans often make
on television appearances or at
partisan events, but dont usually
come from potential presidential
candidates standing yards from the
Oval Ofce.
Other governors had been
instead expressing wide agree-
ment and appreciation for the
presidents time. As Jindal spoke,
some of his colleagues began
shaking their heads, and Hawaii
Democratic Gov. Neil
Abercrombie began audibly mum-
bling to others around him.
Connecticut Democratic Gov.
Dannel Malloy took over the
microphone from Jindal and
responded sharply, Wait a sec-
ond, until a few moments ago we
were going down a pretty coopera-
tive road. So let me just say that
we dont all agree that moving
Canadian oil through the United
States is necessarily the best
thing for the United States econo-
my.

Have you ever been
entrusted to make
final arrangements
for a funeral?
Those of you
whove had this
experience know
that important decisions are required and
must be made in a timely manner. The next
of kin is many times required to search for
information about the deceased which may
not be easily accessible, and must answer
questions without the time to think things
out. Even though your Funeral Director is
trained to guide you every step of the way, it
is still best for you to be prepared with the
proper information if the need should arise.
Ask your Funeral Director what info is
needed before you meet with him/her.
Making funeral arrangements can be very
simple, or can become difficult at times if
you are not prepared. A good Funeral
Director is experienced in leading you with
the necessary requirements, and will offer
details that you may not have thought about
or previously considered as an option.
Allowing him/her to guide you will make
the arrangements go by quickly and easily.
A number of items should be considered
in preparation for the future:
1. Talk to your loved ones about the
inevitable. Give them an indication on what
your wishes are regarding the type of funeral
you want, burial or cremation, etc., and ask
them their feelings about plans for their own
funeral. This is only conversation, but it is
an important topic which will help break the
ice and prevent any type of confusion when
the time comes.
2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Write
down a list of questions and make a phone
call to your Funeral Director asking how to
be prepared. He/she will gladly provide
detailed information and can mail this
information to you for your reference.
Asking questions doesnt cost anything and
will help you with being organized.
3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a
Funeral. Many more people are following
through with this step by making Pre-Need
Arrangements. Completing arrangements
ahead of time makes this process more
relaxed, and putting these details behind you
will take a weight off your shoulders. Your
wishes will be finalized and kept on file at
the Mortuary. Your Funeral Director will
even help you set aside funding now as to
cover costs at the time of death. Families
who meet with us at the CHAPEL OF THE
HIGHLANDS are grateful for the chance to
make Pre-Need Arrangements. With their
final details in place it helps to make matters
more calming for surviving loved-ones.
4. Enjoy Life. There are those who dwell
on situations that cant be controlled.
Taking time to stop and look around at
beauty in the world and appreciate good
things can be therapeutic. If you need to use
a negative statement, try re-wording it into a
positive. Change I had a lousy day today
into Today was demanding, but it made me
appreciate my better days. As the song
goes: Accentuate the positive; Eliminate
the negative; Latch on to the affirmative.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Uganda president
signs harsh anti-gay law
ENTEBBE, Uganda Ugandas president
on Monday signed an anti-gay bill that pun-
ishes gay sex with up to life in prison, a
measure likely to send Ugandas beleaguered
gay community further underground as the
police try to implement it amid fevered anti-
gay sentiment across the country.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said
the bill, which goes into effect immediate-
l y, was needed because the West is promot-
ing homosexuality in Africa.
Museveni may have deed Western pres-
sure to shelve the bill, four years and many
versions after it was introduced, but his
move likely to galvanize support ahead
of presidential elections pleased many
Ugandans who repeatedly urged him to sign
the legislation.
Nigerias president similarly signed an
anti-gay bill into law just over a month ago,
sparking increased violence against gays
who already were persecuted in mob attacks.
Some watchdog groups warn a similar back-
lash of violence may occur in Uganda.

SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine Wi t h
Vi kt or Yanukovych on t he run,
Ukraines interim government drew up
a warrant Monday for the fugitive pres-
idents arrest in the killing of anti-
government protesters last week, while
Russia issued its strongest condemna-
tion yet of the new leaders in Kiev,
deriding them as Kalashnikov-toting
people in black masks.
Parliament speaker Oleksandr
Turchinov, the interim president, moved
quickly to open a dialogue with the West ,
saying at a meeting with European Union
foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton
that the course toward closer integration
with Europe and financial assistance from
the EU were key factors of stable and
democratic development of Ukraine.
In a statement released by his office,
Turchinov said Ukraine and the EU should
immediately revisit the closer ties that
Yanukovych abandoned in November in
favor of a $15 billion bailout loan from
Russia that set off a wave of protests.
Within weeks, the protests expanded to
include outrage over corruption and
human rights abuses, leading to calls for
Yanukovychs resignation.
Yanukovych, who fled Kiev on Saturday
after the opposition took over govern-
ment buildings, has reportedly gone to
the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, a pro-
Russia area.
Calls are mounting in Ukraine to put
Yanukovych on trial after a tumultuous
presidency in which he amassed powers,
enriched his allies and family, and cracked
down on protesters. Anger boiled over
last week after 82 people, primarily
demonstrators, were killed in clashes with
security forces in the bloodiest violence
in Ukraines post-Soviet history.
Acting Interior Minister Arsen Avakhov
said on his official Facebook page that a
warrant has been issued for the arrest of
Yanukovych and several other officials
for the mass killing of civilians.
Ukraine issues arrest warrant for missing leader

MEXICO CITY Mexican authorities
have set in motion a legal process that
makes it unlikely drug kingpin Joaquin El
Chapo Guzman will soon face U.S. cases
also pending against him.
The Federal Judicial Council said the
hemispheres most powerful drug lord had
been formally charged under a 2009
Mexican indictment for cocaine trafcking,
an action that could start put him on path for
a trial that would put any extradition request
on the back burn.
Ajudge has until Tuesday to decide whether
a trial is warranted. Guzman, who is being
held in a maximum security prison west of
Mexico City, could then appeal the judges
decision, a process that typically takes
weeks or months.
Also on Monday, Guzmans lawyers led a
petition asking a court for an injunction to
block any extradition request from the
United States. In the past, similar appeals
by other drug suspects have taken months,
and sometimes years, to resolve.
And before considering any extradition
request that might come from the U.S.,
Mexican ofcials also must weigh whether
to renew other charges against Guzman.
When he escaped from a Mexican prison in
2001 he was serving convictions for crimi-
nal association and bribery, and he was
awaiting trial on charges of murder and drug
trafcking.
What to do with Guzman is a politically
sensitive subject for President Enrique Pena
Nieto, who has sought to carve out more
control over joint anti-drug efforts with the
United States. Analysts said his administra-
tion is likely torn between the impulse to
move Guzman to a nearly invulnerable U.S.
facility and the desire to show that Mexico
can successful retry and incarcerate the man
whose time as the fugitive head of the
worlds most powerful drug cartel.
Eduardo Sanchez, the presidential
spokesman, did not answer his phone or
return messages Monday asking whether the
government was considering extraditing
Guzman to the U.S.
Prominent trial lawyer Juan Velasquez,
who has represented former Mexican presi-
dents, said that if the administration did
decide to extradite Guzman, legal appeals
would only delay the process because
Mexico has removed obstacles to sending
its citizens for trial in other countries.

OPINION 9
Disappointed
in Olympic showing
Editor,
The U.S. Olympic team had its
moments, but overall I was a little
disappointed. The skiers performed
to expectations, but the speed
skaters did poorly. Mens and
womens individual figure skaters
didnt do well, but our ice dancing
pair of Meryl Davis and Charlie
White saved the day. The hockey
team was a BIG disappointment.
After beating Russia, it looked like
we were on the way to at least a
podium finish but they collapsed in
the later rounds. Russian dictator
Putin can crow about Russia stand-
ing atop the medalings and improve
his image at home. Its too bad our
team wasnt up to seeing that didnt
happen. We got beat in the gold
medal count by Russia and Norway
and tied with Canada. Norway has a
population smaller than the Bay
Area by a couple of million people.
I cant call that our best effort.

Response to McDowell
Editor,
In John McDowells recent column
on special districts, he offers his
opinion about Sequoia Healthcare
Districts support of a nursing pro-
gram that simply needs more clarifi-
cation. Of course, this information
would have been available to him
prior if he had simply bothered to
ask, called to discuss the matter or
attended an open board meeting.
Responsible letters to educate the
public should include responsible
research about the topic discussed.
He states we have spent $11 mil-
lion on the nursing program. He
does not state that the expenditure
was over the past 11 years. He indi-
cates we are listed as the largest
donor to San Francisco State but
fails to mention that our latest $1.7
million total pledge for the nursing
program is a three-year commitment
at around $600,000 a year and there-
fore an almost 50 percent reduction
compared to prior years.
The goal of the program has been
to educate more than 500 outstand-
ing nurses to replace a growing
older nursing population. Many of
these former students are already in
leadership positions at local hospi-
tals that serve our residents. His
number of $220,000 per the locally
employed is completely wrong as 80
students are still in school and obvi-
ously not available to work and the
number of employed he states as 50
is simply how many we have been
able to track to date.
He also fails to mention that due
to the recession the past few years
that many graduates had to leave the
area to find employment. This does
not mean that they will not return to
our area once the expected retire-
ment boom hits as expected by
2017.
He totally fails to mention that
this program is a responsible
approach to educating our medical
personnel versus the previous prac-
tice of recruiting and hiring nurses
from overseas.
Mr. McDowell states that special
districts should not escape public
scrutiny and we agree. However,
public education through the opin-
ion page should have the responsi-
bility to provide well-researched and
accurate information.
Lee Michelson
CEO, Sequoia Healthcare District
Putting on a bad face
Editor,
The media has made mental illness
synonymous with violence. Of
course they do this because these are
the type of stories that get more
attention and hence increase profits
and ratings.
The report of an elderly woman
being beaten to death by a psychi-
atric patient in a San Francisco hos-
pital last week highlights my point.
The truth is that violence to others
by the mentally ill is extremely
uncommon. If one were to review the
statistics on violent crime in any
police jurisdiction in the United
States, one would find that it is not
those with mental illness who are
responsible for most violent crime.
Certainly, when someone shoots up
a movie theater like what happened
in Aurora, Colo., or an elementary
school like Sandyhook in
Connecticut, it is especially disturb-
ing. But those who committed these
acts were not receiving treatment for
their illness.
It is much more likely that one of
our family members will be assaulted
or killed by a person who does not
have a mental illness. Mental health
is important for everyone and not
just those diagnosed as mentally ill.
So instead of demonizing the sub-
ject, society should work toward
improving the standards of care that
presently exist today.

Who is the real criminal?
Editor,
Alleged Valentines Day bandit,
Reginald Sidney Jones, proves that
old adage correct, You can steal
more money with a pen than you can
with a gun.
Mr. Jones was booked and charged
with two counts of bank robbery
with bail of $750,000 (Alleged
Valentines Day bandit arrested in
San Francisco in the Feb. 22 edi-
tion).
Its ironic that banks can fore-
close on homeowners properties,
even fraudulently producing docu-
ments that the homeowner never
signed, that they can avoid paying
property taxes on these foreclosed
properties for up to five years before
our state even gets involved, that
the taxpayers can bail them out to
the tune of $700 billion and then
they turned around and give them-
selves bonuses and that they do not
pay their fair share of taxes because
they hide behind loopholes in our
tax system.
So, who is the real criminal here?

Obamas lost respect
Editor,
The San Mateo Daily Journal
Other voices item Obamas actions
on ACA by the Bowling Green,
Ky., Daily News in the Feb. 24 edi-
tion was right on. There are so many
flagrant violations of the
Constitution by this president it is
difficult to keep track. There is no
doubt that this unpopular law was
ill-conceived and implemented by
incompetent bureaucrats. But what
could we expect when not one
Democrat lawmaker who voted for
the law actually read it? So, now we
have a chief executive who has
given up on the responsible task of
governing in lieu of issuing arbi-
trary and unconstitutional orders in
a futile attempt to save his only
legislative victory.
Mr. Obama lost the respect of for-
eign leaders long ago. The polls
now show that he has lost the
respect of most of this countrys
voters. Unfortunately, the country
has to endure almost three more
years of this presidency.

Letters to the editor
Age-old question
H
ow old are the twins going to be? I
asked.
Im not sure. Dont you know? came the response
from my other half.
Youre the one who is the actual blood relation, I
countered. But I think 12.
Dont we always think theyre 12?
True, we do always think our niece and nephew are 12.
For a long time when they were small I always guessed
3. Then time passed and wobbly toddler legs lengthened
and words turned into sentences and hugs turned into
tweenish attitude and birthday demands for shoes
equipped with wheels became pleas for iPods. Twelve
years old became the new default educated guess.
If nothing else, at least with the twins, remembering
birthdays and ages are a two-
for-one deal. Thats what hap-
pens when parents of two boys
decided to try one last time for
a little girl. They get their
bouncing bundle of pink along
with, you guessed it, another
batch of blue for good measure.
And small blessing in a
disorganized life the debate
over their age was happening a
week or so before their actual
birthday. That was a step in the
right direction if only predicat-
ed on the birthday of their much older cousin whose
own day might only be remembered because it falls on
Valentines Day. Families and friends have a way of
each having birthdays and anniversaries all grouped
together in one- or two-month clumps throughout the
year. August is a desert for family celebrations.
November is pretty dry, too, and the early spring
month about the same. But December feels like an
entire month of cake eating and present buying and that
doesnt even count Christmas. February and the begin-
ning of March are the same. Singing and candle-blow-
ing and scheduling that rivals any military operation.
The twins birthday fall within this current batch of
aging madness.
I guess we could have tried to guess their upcoming
age based on their older brothers birthdays but those
two have also become a shot in the dark obviously a
sign that Father Time hasnt hit pause for the mental
acuity and memory of the familys adults. Besides, just
like the twins, their siblings are also in those awkward
ages that arent quite hinged on a memorable milestone.
One is 14-15? no, not quite yet because theres been no
talk of drivers permits and the other somewhere
past 21. I remember the finally-turning-an-official-
adult birthday. But now with his job and his facial hair
and the occasional legally allowed drink at family gath-
erings, just how far past that mark is a blur. Twenty-
two, 23? Man, wasnt I just that age myself?
It was just yesterday, too, that he was asking me to
proofread his science reports and boggling everybodys
mind at summer barbecues with the random trivia only a
bookwormy middle-schooler seems to have tucked back
in the corners of the brain. It certainly feels that way
and I have the nagging suspicion it was but, a short
while ago, I was wrapping up gifts for the twins last
birthday, stuffing spare change in my pockets in antici-
pation of video game pleas and hauling it all over to
the pizza parlor party.
The night of the twins actual birthday, the phone
rang.
Did you remember to call them today? their grand-
mother asked us. Thank goodness for those family
matriarchs who keep a planner in their minds and the
other members in line.
Ugh, no. Well do it now, we said.
Hey, before you hang up, double-check how old they
really are, I asked.
The question was posed along with the weak explana-
tion We are terrible. We didnt remember to call.
Heck, we can never even remember how old theyre
going to be.
With the phone hung up, it was the moment of truth.
So, how old are they now?
Alaugh and a slight head shake.
What do you know? This year theyre actually 12.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK The stock market
ended higher Monday, but a late fade
kept it from closing at an all-time
high.
The market marched broadly higher
most of the day, helped by optimism
about the economy and more corporate
mergers, only to slowly lose momen-
tum in the nal half hour of trading.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
ended up 11.36 points, or 0.6 percent,
to 1,847.61 just short of its record
close of 1,848.38 set on Jan. 15. The
momentum helped the index set a new
intraday high of 1,858.76 earlier in
the day, however.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 103.84 points, or 0.6 percent, to
16,207.14 and the Nasdaq composite
rose 29.56 points, or 0.7 percent, to
4,292.97.
Investors had little in the way of
economic data or corporate earnings to
work through, so much of Mondays
focus was on another round of corpo-
rate deal making.
Chipmaker RF Micro Devices
jumped $1.22, or 21 percent, to
$7.03 after it said would buy a com-
petitor, TriQuint Semiconductor, in
an all-stock deal valued at about
$1. 56 bi l l i on. TriQuint soared
$2.41, or 26 percent, to $11. 64.
Meanwhile, mens clothing chain
Jos. A. Bank rose $4.99, or 9 percent,
to $60.04 after competitor Mens
Wearhouse increased its buyout offer.
Mens Wearhouse rose $3.40, or 8 per-
cent, $48.51.
M&A has taken off this year. Last
week, Forest Laboratories and Actavis
announced a $25 billion merger and
Facebook said it was buying
WhatsApp for $19 billion. Thats on
top of deals or offers announced this
week.
Companies buying competitors, or
buying up a company whose product
interests them, should be seen as a
positive for stocks, market watchers
say.
It shows that companies still see
value in this market, even at these
highs, said Quincy Krosby, a market
strategist at Prudential Financial.
In the last two-and-a-half weeks, the
stock market has basically erased of
the losses it experienced after a dif-
cult start to the year.
The S&P 500 index was down as
much 6 percent for the year as of
February 3 as investors worried about
emerging markets like China and
Turkey. The U.S. economic recovery
was also showing signs of slowing
growth.
But the U.S. stock market has recov-
ered as turbulence in overseas markets
calms down.
In the latest development in over-
seas markets, the chaos in Ukraine
came to an abrupt halt over the week-
end following the ouster of President
Viktor Yanulovych. Investors had
been worried about the escalating vio-
lence.
The risks in emerging markets con-
tinue to recede, and now the problems
in the Ukraine are out of the way, said
Bill Stone, chief investment strategist
at PNC Wealth Management.
The S&P 500s 1,850-point level
continues to be a ceiling for investors
trying to bid stocks higher. The index
has tried to close above 1,850 three
times in the last three months, failing
each time.
Investors have a chance to test all-
time highs after economic reports
come out later this week.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen will testify in
front of the Senate Banking
Committee on Thursday. Economic
reports this week include durable
goods orders and U.S. fourth-quarter
gross domestic product.
Government bond prices were at
Monday. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note was unchanged from
Friday at 2.74 percent. The price of oil
rose 62 cents to $102.82 a barrel. Gold
rose $14.40 to $1,338 an ounce.
Stocks end higher but fall short of record

NEWYORK Mark Zuckerberg, known
for his outsized ambitions for Facebook, is
applying a similar long-term vision to
bringing the Internet to the billons of peo-
ple around the world who dont already have
access.
The 29-year-old CEO of Facebook Inc.
discussed long-term plans for a world in
which everyone is able to get online during
an on-stage interview at the Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona, Spain on Monday.
It was Zuckerbergs most high-profile
appearance yet at the worlds largest mobile
trade show, signaling Facebooks growing
inuence in mobile communications. The
companys mobile footprint has only
expanded with its deci-
sion to buy WhatsApp,
the wildly popular smart-
phone messaging serv-
ice, in a surprise deal
announced last
Wednesday.
While Zuckerberg
spent most of his time
discussing Internet.org,
the ambitious project
that aims to get the world
online, he couldnt skirt questions about
Facebooks decision to pay a staggering
$19 billion for WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is a great company and a
great fit for us, Zuckerberg said, calling
the service the most engaging mobile
application that has ever existed and
one thats well worth its price.
With 465 million monthly members, the
service is growing at a faster pace than
Facebook ever has and Zuckerberg believes
WhatsApp is on track to reach a billion
users. Its because of that potential, and not
WhatsApps current revenue stream, that
Zuckerberg thinks WhatsApp is worth more
than $19 billion. In comparison, Twitter
Inc. which has 241 million users, is worth
roughly $32 billion, based on its stock
price Monday.
Even so, Facebook investors shouldnt
expect a windfall from WhatsApp any time
soon. Zuckerberg said the acquisition will
allow the startup to focus on growing its
user base and not on making money
over the next ve years or so.
That echoes earlier comments from
WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum at the wireless
show. Koum, who announced that
WhatsApp will soon offer voice calling as
it works to lure more users to its service,
stressed that his company has no plans to
add marketing or advertising to the serv-
ice and that its staff of 55 is unlikely to
grow much.
We want to operate as a startup, Koum
said.
Though theyve known each other for
years, Zuckerberg and Koum worked out the
Facebook-WhatsApp deal in the 11 days
before it was announced last Wednesday.
Zuckerberg said that it wasnt until the pair
got aligned on the vision for Internet.org
and getting everyone in the world connect-
ed that they started talking about combin-
ing their companies.

NEW YORK EBay and activist share-
holder Carl Icahn are continuing their war of
words over PayPal.
The billionaire has been pressuring the e-
commerce company to spin off the online
payment business. But eBay has said its
not interested in separating its fastest grow-
ing segment.
On Monday, Icahn said in a blistering let-
ter to shareholders that eBays complete
disregard for accountability at eBay is the
most blatant we have ever seen and called
out two directors and the CEO specically
for lapses in corporate governance.
EBay responded that that it continues to
believe stockholders are best served by
keeping PayPal as part of the company.
PayPal, which eBay bought for $1.3 bil-
lion in late 2002, is now growing faster
than the companys core marketplaces busi-
ness. In the fourth quarter, payments rev-
enue of $1.84 billion accounted for about 41
percent of total revenue for the period.
Recently, PayPal has been expanding into
brick-and-mortar stores from serving solely
as an online payments service.
In January, EBay said Icahn had taken a
less than 1 percent stake in the company
and said he was seeking a
non-binding shareholder
resolution to spin off
PayPal. At the time Icahn
also nominated two of his
employees for eBays
board. EBay said then
that it had looked into a
split from PayPal, but felt
it wasnt the best move
for shareholders. But it
said it will review Icahns
nominees.
In his letter Monday, Icahn also alleged
that some eBay board members have con-
icts of interest. Among those to catch
Icahns re: Scott Cook, who is the founder
and former CEO of Intuit Inc. and is a cur-
rent board member for the company. Icahn
questioned Cooks involvement on the
eBay board, saying that Intuit and PayPal
are direct competitors. Icahn also ques-
tioned Marc Andreessens loyalty to eBay,
claiming he was able to achieve signicant
personal financial benefit from buying
large stakes in two former eBay sub-
sidiaries.
Icahn also drubbed eBay CEO John
Donahoe, saying he seems completely
asleep or, even worse, either naive or will-
fully blind to these grave lapses of account-
ability and stockholder value destruction.
Mens Wearhouse lifts
takeover bid for Jos A Bank
NEW YORK Mens Wearhouse said
Monday that it was boosting its takeover
offer for Jos. A. Bank yet again, spurring
hopes that the months-long saga might
nally be coming to an end.
Mens Wearhouse raised its takeover offer
for its rival by 10 percent to about $1.78
billion. Shares of both companies rose.
The two companies cater to different
customers Jos. A Bank is geared to a
more established male professional,
Mens Wearhouse a slightly younger man
but they offer similar types of cloth-
ing: suits and sport coats.
LinkedIn to launch site in Chinese
MOUNTAIN VIEW LinkedIn is launch-
ing its site in simplied Chinese, the writ-
ten characters used on the mainland, as it
works to expand in the country with the
worlds largest Internet population.
The professional networking service
hopes to broaden its reach in the country
with more than 140 million professionals,
4 million of whom use LinkedIn. Until now,
the site in China was in English only.
EBay responds to Icahn,
says sticking with PayPal

Look around the girls basketball teams in
the Peninsula Athletic League and youll
nd a ton of guards and wings, and very few
strong post players.
Its denitely a guard-dominant league
said Westmoor coach Mike Keough.
Westmoor is one of the few that has both
and while guards Yazmeen Goo and Marinel
Alcantara were both tabbed as all-league
performers in the PAL North, Rams junior
center Tiara Cobbins showed during the
Peninsula Athletic League Tournament that
she belongs in the discussion for all-league
honors as well.
The main thing that held her back from
making the all-league team was a knee
injury suffered midway through PAL play.
But she returned for the nal two regular sea-
son games and then really came into her
own in the PAL Tournament.
For her efforts, Cobbins is the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
Missing the four games (in league) hurt
her a little bit (for post-season honors),
Keough said. (But she is an all-league cal-
iber player) no question about it.
Cobbins got the job done on both ends of
the oor for the Rams, helping lead her
team to the PAL Tournament title. In the
tournament opener, Cobbins scored seven
points in a 48-38 win over Menlo-
Atherton. In the seminals against Terra
Nova, she scored a team-high 13 points
while pulling down seven rebounds in a 73-
42 win. She then added 13 points, eight
rebounds and three blocks in the Rams 58-
40 win over South City in the champi-
onship game.
[Cobbins is] our anchor, in a way,
Keough said. Shes denitely a vocal leader
on the team. When she has something to
say, shes heard. She directs (her team-
mates) a little bit better now.

necessary for a center. Shes a tenacious

Carlmonts Kyle Barret slides across home plate in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game against Sequoia at 3. The teams played
one more inning before it was called because of darkness.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As defending Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division champions, the Sequoia
baseball team was slated to be promoted to
the Bay Division for 2014.
But with the PAL absorbing the West Bay
Athletic League this season, the Cherokees
were asked and they agreed to stay in
the Ocean.
We have 12 seniors on the team. No
underclassmen. Theyve been together for
many years and were pretty excited to play
in the Bay and they were disappointed not
going up, said Sequoia manager Corey
Uhalde. Thats why we tried to schedule as
many Bay Division teams as could (for our
non-league schedule).
The first Bay Division team on the
Cherokees schedule was Carlmont the
defending Bay Division champion i n
the season opener for both teams Monday.
If nothing else, Sequoia proved it can play
with the best the Bay has to offer.
Unfortunately, thats all the Cherokees
could do. After trailing 3-2 after five
innings, the Scots scratched out the tying
run in the bottom of the seventh. Following
a scoreless eighth inning between the two,
the game was called because of darkness.
Im proud of the way both teams played,
Uhalde said. It was good baseball.
Carlmont manager Rich Vallero was
almost relieved to get out of the game with a
tie. The fact the Scots held the Cherokees to
just three runs was a minor miracle consider-
ing Carlmont committed four errors.
If you tell me we make four errors and not
lose, Ill take it, Vallero said. We didnt
play very good baseball and we didnt lose.
Matt Seubert got the starting call for
Carlmont on the mound, with mixed results.

B
en White is coming home.A
longtime football coach on the
Peninsula from the late 1990s
and early 2000s, Ben White left
Carlmont following the 2004 season to
take over the football program at Exeter
High School in the Central Valley.
After nine seasons at Exeter, where he
became the schools winningest football
coach, White is returning to the
Peninsula to take over the Capuchino
program.
When I saw the application, I thought,
Wow!, said
Capuchino athletic
director Matt
Wilson. I didnt
think he would go
for it.
White spent nine
seasons as the frosh-
soph coach at South
City before taking
over the Carlmont
varsity team in
2002. In three sea-
sons with the Scots,
he compiled a 16-14
record.
When he arrived at Exeter, the
Monarchs had won a total of 19 games
over the previous ve seasons. In nine
seasons, White compiled a 63-42 record
with Exeter, winning a pair of Central
Sequoia League titles. Last year, the
Monarchs went 7-5, advancing to the
quarternals of the Central Section
Division IV playoffs.
Wilson said when he rst saw the name
on the application, he wondered if it was
the same Ben White who had previously
coached in the PAL. When he found it
was, Wilson said he was pumped.
Were excited to have him, Wilson
said.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Stephen Curry
had 19 points, nine assists and eight
rebounds, and the Golden State Warriors
clamped down on the Detroit Pistons in the
second half of a 104-96 victory Monday
night.
Klay Thompson scored 19 points for
Golden State, which has won four in a row.
The Pistons have lost ve of seven since r-
ing Maurice Cheeks and replacing him with
interim coach John Loyer.
The Warriors were still
without David Lee, who
has been dealing with a
stomach flu. Andrew
Bogut returned from a left
shoulder injury and
played 29 minutes before
fouling out.
Greg Monroe had 23
points for the Pistons,
who scored only 13
points in the fourth quarter. The Pistons
were only down 63-62 at halftime but could-
nt replicate that offensive success.
The Warriors have won six straight over
the Pistons for the rst time since a seven-
game streak from 1975-76.
Curry went 6 of 15 from the eld and was
only 3 of 9 from 3-point range, but he
repeatedly found teammates for open shots
on the perimeter. Detroit trailed 95-94 after
Monroes layup with 4:11 to play, but the
Pistons didnt score again until the nal
minute.
Golden State, which was beginning a six-
game road trip, was progressively stingier
in each quarter, allowing 37 points in the
rst before holding Detroit to 25, 21 and 13
in the remaining three.
The Warriors bench outscored Detroits
42-15. Golden State (35-22) is a season-
high 13 games over .500.
Detroit (23-34) is fading from the playoff
race in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons
are now four games behind eighth-place
Atlanta.
Josh Smith had 18 points, 11 rebounds
and seven assists for Detroit but shot 9 of

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders signed
special teams standout Taiwan Jones to a
three-year extension on Monday that keeps
him under contract through 2017.
Jones still had one year
remaining on his rookie
deal but was allowed to
negotiate an extension
for the rst time this off-
season.
General manager
Reggie McKenzie kept a
speedster originally
picked by late owner Al
Davis who emerged as a
top special teams player after struggling to
make it as a running back.
Jones is a Bay Area native who is active in
the community and very popular with
Raiders fans.
I was excited when they came to me about
the extension, Jones said. It is denitely
a blessing for a local kid to be part of the
Raiders turnaround. Ive been an underdog
all my life, so I think its very tting for me
to remain here. Im denitely excited about
it.
Jones was originally selected by Oakland
as a running back in the fourth round in
2011 out of Eastern Washington after run-
ning a 4.33-second 40-yard dash before the
draft. That speed and 2,955 yards rushing
and 36 touchdowns in two seasons as a run-
ning back in college led Davis to select
him.
But Jones struggled with injuries and ball
security his rst two seasons. He had 22 car-
ries for 94 yards and four catches for 36
yards and averaged 18.7 yards on 10 kickoff
returns as he struggled to nd a role in the
NFL.
The Raiders moved Jones to cornerback
last season but he did not play on defense.
Jones made his impact on special teams,
where he was credited with 13 solo tackles
and two assists. Oakland heavily promoted
Jones for the Pro Bowl but he did not make
the team.
Its rare to see and to know that my local
team wants me to stay home, and its just a
blessing, he said. Im glad to be part of it,
happy to remain here and there are big
things coming that I am happy to be part of
it. I feel good about next year. Obviously, I
was able to do a lot of good things on spe-
cial teams last year. Unfortunately, I didnt
make the Pro Bowl last year, but that is
something Im shooting for this year.
Jones also got some time at running back
last season because of injuries and nished
with ve carries for 23 yards and two catch-
es for 55 yards.

NEWYORK Rather than ban home plate
collisions outright, Major League Baseball
and its players adopted a rule limiting them
this season.
In what both sides said was a one-year
experiment, the rule allows collisions if the
catcher has the ball and is blocking the run-
ners direct path to home plate, and if the
catcher goes into the basepath to eld a
throw to the plate.
Its not a radical departure from what it
had been, Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe
Maddon said.
The new rule, 7.13, states a runner
attempting to score may not deviate from
his direct pathway to the plate in order to
initiate contact with the catcher (or other
player covering home plate). Arunner vio-
lating the rule shall be declared out, even if
the elder drops the ball.
Its good, I think it takes away the mali-
cious intent behind the play at the plate,
Texas Rangers catcher J.P. Arencibia said.
Obviously the runner doesnt always have
to slide, and the catcher still has the ability
to block the plate once he has the ball in
hand.
Along with the rule, the sides agreed to a
pair of comments umpires use for interpreta-
tion. The rst comment says the failure by
the runner to make an effort to touch the
plate, the runners lowering of the shoulder,
or the runners pushing through with his
hands, elbows or arms, would support a
determination that the runner deviated from
the pathway in order to initiate contact with
the catcher in violation. The comment says
players who slide appropriately are not in
violation of the rule.
The second comment says that unless the
catcher is in possession of the ball, the
catcher cannot block the pathway of the run-
ner as he is attempting to score. The runner
shall be declared safe if the catcher violates
that provision. In addition, it is not a viola-
tion if the catcher blocks the pathway of
the runner in order to eld a throw, and the
umpire determines that the catcher could not
have elded the ball without blocking the
pathway of the runner and that contact with
the runner was unavoidable.
There are some things that often times
can make the water a little muddy, union
head Tony Clark said after meeting with the
New York Yankees. Over the course of the
offseason, the concern was protecting play-
ers, but trying to draw up something that
not only made sense on paper, but also was
going to make sense to the players that were
playing on the eld.
The umpire crew chief can use the new
video-review system to determine whether
the rule was violated.
It stops guys just going out of their way
just to try to dislodge the baseball when
they (catchers) have the plate, Texas
Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
Debate over plate collisions has intensi-
ed since May 2011, when San Franciscos
Buster Posey was injured as the Marlins
Scott Cousins crashed into him at the plate.
Posey, an All-Star catcher, sustained a bro-
ken bone in his lower left leg and three torn
ligaments in his ankle, an injury that ended
his season.
In Game 5 of last years AL championship
series, Detroit backstop Alex Avila was
pulled a couple of innings after being run
over at the plate by Bostons David Ross, a
fellow catcher.
I think its fair. A runners path is to
home plate, Oakland catcher Derek Norris
said. Any deviation and hes not trying to
score, hes trying to harm. A runner going
out of the basepath trying to break up a dou-
ble play is declared out. This is the same
concept as a double-play slide.

accomplished catchers in baseball with a
pair of World Series rings and All-Star selec-
tions, the NL Rookie of the Year award in
2010, and a batting title and NL MVP in the
same season of 2012.
Yet manager Bruce Bochy has said Posey
will require his days off to stay fresh, and
Hector Sanchez has shown he can be a reli-
able backup. He plans to prove that once
more this spring.
Despite coming into the Giants camp
heavier and stronger and yes, even a bit
quicker, Posey will again play some games
at first base to give his body a break.
Like Posey, Sanchez is rejuvenated.
Only instead of gaining weight, the 24-
year-old dropped 20 pounds and now is at
around 215.
After a 2013 season full
of bumps and bruises and
struggles, Sanchez decid-
ed to do something about
i t .
Much like his fellow
Venezuelan countryman
and teammate, third base-
man Pablo Sandoval,
Sanchez went through a
winter of nutritional change and condition-
ing.
People talk about Pablo, but Hector has
done a great job getting ready and coming in
here in playing shape, Bochy said.
In three different stints with the Giants
last year, Sanchez played in 63 games, hit-
ting .248 with three home runs and 19 RBIs.
In between, he was in the minors or on the
disabled list. He missed several weeks with
inammation in his right (throwing) shoul-
der that ared up during the spring of 2013.
I feel great, 100 percent, Sanchez said
Monday. To lose 20 pounds is amazing.
Minor league athletic trainer L.J. Petra
helped Sanchez during the offseason, mak-
ing recommendations on how to eat health-
ier and suggesting how to train more ef-
ciently. Sanchez also played in a handful of
games in the Venezuelan Winter League.
That was the key for me, Sanchez said.
Last year was a bad experience. It was not
fun. There were a lot of ups and downs. I
played with pain in my shoulder. I did not
throw for a while and the shoulder got better.
Now I have my condence back.
Bochy acknowledged that it was a battle
to keep Sanchez in shape last season.
Now Bochy is noticing a remarkable dif-
ference as Sanchez participates in throw-
ing drills, also in the way he blocks pitches
in the dirt.
If he can continue to stay in shape, he
will be able to concentrate on other parts of
his game, Bochy said.
Sanchez enjoys working with the pitch-
ing staff and is working to learn more every
day from the pitchers.
I want to be ready for any situation, try to
play hard and take advantage of every
opportunity I am given, he said.
NOTES: Bochy was due to attend a meet-
ing of baseball ofcials on Monday at near-
by Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, spring
home of the Diamondbacks, to discuss rules
changes, including reviews and challenges
by the managers. ... The team plays an
intrasquad game Tuesday and opens spring
play on Wednesday against the Oakland
Athletics at home in Scottsdale Stadium. ...
Leadoff man/CF Angel Pagan is back to
work after being bothered by back issues. ...
2B Marco Scutaro, who also has back trou-
bles, will be used carefully in the early
going.
Sanchez hopes to be reliable backup for Posey
Hector Sanchez
PHOENIX Oakland catcher Derek Norris
said collisions at home plate are part of the
game and he applauds the updated rule that
still allows for them in major league base-
ball.
He still expects to be bowled over by run-
ners hoping to score, just as long as its
clean.
Its part of the game, Norris said
Monday. If Ive got the ball and the plate
blocked and hes running to the plate, its
clean. I got run over by one of the nicest
guys in baseball.
Raul Ibanez, then playing for the New
York Yankees, took out Norris in a game.
It was a clean hit, Norris said. It hurt
like hell, but it was a clean play. From the
catchers Ive talked with around the league,
they all wanted collisions to stay in the
game.
Norris said he rmly believes that over 99
percent of big league players play fair at
home plate and that the rule was intended to
discourage the less than 1 percent of other
runners from going after the catcher whether
the ball is there or not.
We all know how the controversy start-
ed, Norris said. Player X went at Player Y
and the result was Player Ymissing the rest
of the season. This popped up on the radar
because of one certain collision.
Norris was referring to Scott Cousins, then
with the Florida Marlins, barreling over San
Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey in a
game on May 25, 2011, at AT&T Park.
Posey missed the rest of the year with a
broken leg and Giants fans vilied Cousins,
who played his college ball at the University
of San Francisco.
The runners path is to the plate, Norris
said. If he deviates from it, hes not trying
to score, hes trying to harm. Any time you
are looking out for someones safety, its a
good thing.
Home plate collision rules have been in
effect since Pete Rose effectively ended Ray
Fosses career by taking out the AL catcher
during the 1970 All-Star Game. Like Posey,
Fosse has never carried any ill will.
The latest rule also claries that a catcher
cannot block the plate without the ball,
which Norris said made sense.
If you dont have the ball and its not
being thrown in, you dont have any busi-
ness being there, he said.
The new rule was adopted by MLB and the
players association on a one-year experi-
mental basis.
A lot of the initial contact is still in the
game. All of the major sports are trying to
clear it up slowly. They are trying to look
after players, especially up here in this
region, Norris said while pointing to his
head. Youre going to have collisions in
any sport and if you do go in a direction, this
is the way to go.
NOTES: OF Craig Gentry said he was
going to try to swing a bat to test his sore
lower back. As manager Bob Melvin said
Gentry continues to get better. . RHPRyan
Cook (shoulder inammation) threw from
105 feet on at ground. . RHP Jesse Chavez
earned the spring exhibition opening start
Wednesday in part because it looks like
right now the season is starting for him,
Melvin said. Hes a guy we can always
count whether its to start, pitch a few
innings in relief or just to a few batters. We
used his versatility last year. Hes focused
every day.

By Jenna Fryer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. There was a
moment late in the Daytona 500 when Dale
Earnhardt Jr. had a moment to catch his
breath. It was clearly his race to lose and the
tension ran thick through Junior Nation, all
the way into his car.
Steve Letarte, the crew chief and cheer-
leader who had rebuilt Earnhardts crumpled
condence and returned him to a champi-
onship contender, used the moment under
caution to settle his driver.
Having fun? Letarte asked over the radio.
Yeah, but its the big
prize, man. Its hard to
enjoy it, Earnhardt said,
before he paused. Im
enjoying particular pieces
of it, but the entire experi-
ence is driving me crazy.
Thats the albatross that
was strapped to the back
of NASCARs most popu-
lar driver as closed in on
his second Daytona 500
victory. It had been 10 years since he won
his rst 500, and after three runner-up nish-
es the last four seasons in a race that had
caused his family so much heartache and joy,
the moment was overwhelming.
Theres so much pressure on Earnhardt,
who entered the season-opening showcase
mired in a 55-race losing streak dating to
2012. Hed won just two races since joining
mighty Hendrick Motorsports in 2008, and
as he closes in on his 40th birthday, he is
still searching for his rst Cup champi-
onship.
Its been openly stated by the suits at
NASCAR that when Junior wins, NASCARs
popularity surges. So under that theory, if he
could just get it together, the days of at tel-
evision numbers and sagging attendance
would certainly spike.
Thats a lot of pressure to put on one guy,
and it hit him as he readied himself for the
homestretch Sunday night.
Its a big race and you want to win it so
badly, and your team wants to win so badly,
he said afterward. You realize at that moment
that there are countless people watching on
television and there are countless people sit-
ting in the grandstands with your shirts and
hats on, and your team is over on the pit wall
and your family back home there are so
many people pulling for you and want to see
you win. Its a heavy weight.
This time, he delivered.
Earnhardts Daytona 500 win lifts heavy weight
Dale
Earnhardt Jr.
He allowed all three Sequoia runs and
pitched four innings, allowing ve hits. He
struggled with his command and location,
which can be expected for the season open-
er.
Im sure there were (season-opening)
butteries from both teams, Vallero said.
Sequoia starter Kyle Cambron, on the
other hand, appeared to be in midseason
form. Despite a high pitch count, he pitched
into the seventh inning, surrendering two
runs on ve hits, striking out ve and walk-
ing four.
That guy (Cambron) did a great job,
Vallero said. He got ahead. Had good stuff.
Uhalde said he doesnt base his pitching
moves on a pitch count, instead relying on
what he sees from his pitchers on the mound
and in the dugout. Uhalde said he kept
checking on Cambron from the fourth
inning on and Cambron kept wanting the
ball
Cambron showed no signs of slowing
down either. With two outs in the bottom of
the sixth inning, he poured a fastball right
past the Scots leadoff hitter for the nal out
of the inning.
We dont have him on a pitch count. We
expected him to go four, five innings.
Throw 60 to 80 pitches. But from the fourth
inning on, he kept saying, One more
(inning), Uhalde said. We wanted to set
the tone for the year. I want that effort from
everyone.
Despite a tough start to the game,
Carlmont nished strong. The Scots trailed
3-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh
but, with one out, Kyle Barret legged out an
ineld hit and then stole second. Cambron
then hit Aaron Albaum with a pitch, which
signaled the end for the burly right hander.
Cameron Greenough came in to relieve
Cambron and, with runners on second and
third, Seubert got a bit of redemption. Wi t h
Sequoia playing the ineld in, Seubert hit a
chopper to the second baseman, who red
home trying to get Barret, who broke from
third on contact. Barret easily beat the
throw to tie the game at 3. Julian Billot was
then intentionally walked to load the bases,
but Greenough struck out the next two bat-
ters to send the game into extra innings.
With the light rapidly fading, Sequoia
could do nothing against Joe Pratt, who
pitched the eighth inning for Carlmont. The
Scots had a chance to win it in the bottom of
the frame. They got a leadoff hit, but he was
quickly erased as he was caught stealing.
Aaron Pleschner then walked and, follow-
ing a strikeout, Barret singled, moving
Pleschner to second. But Albaum struck out
to end the inning and the game ended in a 3-
3 tie.
While Carlmont nished strong, Sequoia
started fast, scoring twice in the top of the
rst inning. Matt Lopez was hit by a pitch
leading off and Chris Ortiz walked. Both
runners moved up on a balk. Following a
yout, Liam Clifford came up and jumped on
the rst pitch he saw, driving it into the
right-center eld gap for a two-run double.
Carlmont got a run back in the bottom of
the second, with Nick Thompson driving in
Billot on an infield hit with the bases
loaded.
Sequoia pushed its lead to 3-1 in the third
when Zane Gelphman blasted a 3-2 pitch
over the 325-foot sign in left-center eld
for a solo home run.
Carlmont closed the gap to 3-2 in the fth
when Barret doubled, went to third on a
groundout and scored on a Sequoia error.
You want to play in games like that,
Uhalde said. Its a building block going
forward.
Said Vallero: I think [the Sequoia] guys
did a great job. Coreys done an unbeliev-
able job with that program. Id like to
play them again at the end of the year.

Eighth grader verbally commits to LSU
SAN ANTONIO A 14-year-old quarterback from South
Texas has committed to play football at LSU.
Eighth-grader Zadock Dinkelmann orally committed to
the Tigers on Friday. Hes the nephew of Ty and Koy Detmer.
Ty Detmer won the 1990 Heisman Trophy at BYU and Koy
Detmer was an All-Big 12 player at Colorado. Both played
in the NFL.
The 6-foot-4 Dinkelmann plays for a
junior high in Somerset, southwest of
San Antonio. The San Antonio Express-
News reports he announced his choice
six months before he can compete in
high school.
The teens nonbinding declaration con-
tinues a trend of adolescents committing
to play in college. He is at least the third
junior high student from Texas to commit
this school year.
Sports brief
Zadock
Dinkelmann
the 2014 season, a number of coaches
asked who was taking over the Mustangs
program.
When I said Ben White, their eyes kind
of widened, Wilson said.
Wilson said White told him his wife
wanted to move back to the Peninsula. In
an interview with Prep2Prep.coms John
Murphy, White said he and wife planned to
stay in the Valley for only ve years.
But we liked it and we kept winning and
we stayed for nine, Murphy reported
White saying. But we were both born in
San Francisco and now its time to go back
there.
White will be the third coach in three
years at Capuchino. Adam Hyndman was
red following the 2012 season after lead-
ing the Mustangs to their rst Peninsula
Athletic League Lake Division title with a
5-0 record and a spot in the Central Coast
Section playoffs for the rst time since
2001. Josh Horton took over for the 2013
season and went 1-9.
Wilson said White will nish up the year
teaching at Exeter before moving back to
the Peninsula in the summer.
In other coaching news, Bill Gray, retir-
ing Terra Nova football coach and athletic
director, conrmed that Tim Adams has
been tabbed to take over the Tigers foot-
ball program. Adams, who was the Tigers
offensive coordinator and assistant head
coach, was hired a few years to revamp the
Terra Nova offense, turning it into one of
the most prolic units in CCS.
***
Ive been in this business long enough
to know about the only kind of feedback
Im going to get either through email or
over the phone is bound to be negative.
So it was nice to get so many positive
comments at Capuchino over the weekend
while covering the Peninsula Athletic
League boys and girls basketball tourna-
ment.
I had a number of fans, coaches and refer-
ees tell me how much they appreciate the
job I do for high school sports on the
Peninsula. I appreciate the fact people do
recognize how hard I work to give as much
coverage as possible. But with only a two-
man staff, we cant be everywhere for every
game. Thats why its important for coach-
es to send their results to us. While we may
not be able to get to every game, if coach-
es are sending in their results, we can keep
track from afar of how teams and
players are doing.
Even if youre team has a poor record but
has a phenomenal player, by sending us
your results well notice it, which can lead
to a story about that player and your team.

Shes more of a rebounder. Offensively,
we have many options to get points,
Keough said. Shes playing really physical
and Im really impressed with her overall
performance and the way shes come back
from injury.
Offensively is where Cobbins has opened
eyes. She is surprisingly light on her feet,
can use both hands effectively and can put
the ball on the oor and drive to the basket,
which she did several times during the PAL
Tournament.
Shes ghting to get that second and
third shot and nishing, Keough said. She
has a pretty good rst step and shes quicker
than most bigs. Shes a lot better with her
left hand. Last year, she was really strong
with her right. Now, she has the option of
going either way.
Shes also worked on handling the ball
and getting to the basket.
The Rams perfect 12-0 mark in PAL play
helped land them a No. 3 seed in the Central
Coast Section Division II tournament.
Cobbins play has been a key to that seed-
ing and Westmoors success this season.
Going forward, I think she can get bet-
ter, Keough said. But I think shes play-
ing at the highest level she can now.

WASHINGTON For women who carry a
notorious cancer gene, surgery to remove
healthy ovaries is one of the most protec-
tive steps they can take. New research sug-
gests some may benet most from having
the operation as young as 35.
Women who inherit either of two faulty
BRCA genes are at much higher risk of
developing breast and ovarian cancer than
other women, and at younger ages. Actress
Angelina Jolie generated headlines last year
when she had her healthy breasts removed
to reduce her cancer risk.
Mondays study is the largest yet to show
the power of preventive ovarian surgery for
those women. The surgery not only lowers
their chances of getting either ovarian or
breast cancer. The study estimated it also
can reduce womens risk of death before age
70 by 77 percent.
Ovarian cancer is particularly deadly, and
there is no good way to detect it early like
there is for breast cancer. So for years, doc-
tors have advised BRCA carriers to have
their ovaries removed between the ages of
35 and 40, or when women are nished hav-
ing children.
The new study suggests the surgery, called
an oophorectomy, should be timed differ-
ently for the different genes.
For women who carry the higher-risk
BRCA1, the chance of already having ovar-
ian cancer rose from 1.5 percent at age 35 to
4 percent at age 40, said lead researcher Dr.
Steven Narod of the University of Toronto.
After that, the risk jumped to 14 percent by
age 50.
In contrast, the researchers said carriers of
the related BRCA2 gene could safely delay
surgery into their 40s. The study found only
one case in a woman younger than 50.
Ovarian surgery is the cornerstone for
cancer prevention, declared Narod, whose
team published the research in the Journal
of Clinical Oncology. The typical woman
with a BRCA1 mutation will benet to a
large extent from an oophorectomy at age
35, and we want to make that a pretty stan-
dard recommendation.
Future studies would have to verify the
ndings, and other specialists urged cau-
tion.
Waiting until age 40 for ovary removal,
as many women with BRCA1 do today,
makes a very small difference, stressed Dr.
Claudine Isaacs, an oncologist and cancer
risk specialist at Georgetown Universitys
Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center,
who wasnt involved in the new research.
The ndings shouldnt frighten women
into acting sooner if theyre not ready,
agreed Dr. Susan Domchek of the University
of Pennsylvanias Basser Research Center
for BRCA, who also wasnt involved in the
study.
Many women have babies during their
late 30s, and ovary removal sends women
into early menopause that can increase their
risk of bone-thinning osteoporosis or heart
disease later on.
Thirty-five isnt necessarily a magic
number, Domchek said. If you are talking
to a woman who hasnt yet nished having
her kids, its a completely reasonable thing
Ovary removal aids high-risk women
Ovarian cancer is particularly deadly, and there is no good way to detect it early like there is
for breast cancer.So for years,doctors have advised BRCA carriers to have their ovaries removed
between the ages of 35 and 40, or when women are nished having children.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are uncommon.They
are thought to account for about 5 percent
to 10 percent of all breast cancers, and
about 15 percent of ovarian cancers.
If a number of family members have had
breast or ovarian cancer, particularly at a
younger age, the U.S. Preventive Services
Task Force says women should discuss with
a health professional if theyre at increased
risk,too.A genetic counselor can help high-
risk women decide whether to have a
blood test to see if they inherited the genes.
Doctors advise women with faulty BRCA
genes to undergo frequent screenings for
breast cancer,and to consider having their
ovaries removed at some point between
ages 35 and 40 or when childbearing is
complete. A new study suggests BRCA1
carriers might benet from surgery at the
earlier age.

tional kindergarten next year. It seems like
NDNU wasnt invested in making the school
successful. Id like to think theres a future for
this special place, even it has to morph into a
different organization or leadership struc-
ture.
Greco suggested Notre Dame Elementary
School consider observing the preschool or
spinning it off into a parent owned co-op.
She also would like to see the materials and
equipment from the playground donated to
local family shelters or co-op preschools.
One of the fathers at the school went there
30 years ago, she said. This place that has a
lot of history and means a lot to a lot of fam-
ilies. Theres a lot of heart thats gone into
that place.
The ELC was founded in 1964 by Sister
Christina Trudeau, a sister of Notre Dame de
Namur and pioneer in early childhood and
Montessori education. It was intended to pro-
vide training for early childhood educators.
However, the university no longer has an
early childhood education program as part of
its School of Education and Leadership. It cur-
rently has a three-year curriculum, with art,
music, gardening and Spanish programs.
The university is considering a range of
options for what to do with the site including
internal use, said Rossi. Notre Dame has also
received inquiries from other preschools
about the space. He noted the closure was
timed with the schools Board of Trustees
meeting.
It required a vote of the Board of Trustees
and the meeting was scheduled for February,
he said. It would have been ideal to announce
it sooner, but thats just the way it worked
out.
Meanwhile, parent Velvet Snow said she
wasnt surprised about the announcement
since she has heard rumors about it closing
for the past four years. She said there were a
lot of issues that involved the center and
administration. There was miscommunica-
tion across the board, she said.
I was sad because its a wonderful place and
its hard to nd a facility/playground like this
in the area, she said. Because the facility is
perfect for preschool-aged children, I hope
they lease it to someone to become a pre-
school. To see it torn down and become some-
thing else would be sad. Every parent has
their own special things theyre looking for
[in a preschool] and were lucky to have
choices, but there arent choices that have the
space the ELC has and there arent choices for
transitional kindergarten age kids.
Snow said she is glad the school didnt take
any longer to make the decision since parents
needed time to look for other preschool
options. She had already been looking for a
new preschool and met deadlines, noting this
has been a chaotic year.
Others had a sense of the closure as well.
Parent Eloiza Meier has been at the school for
four years and is on the social committee of
the parent board. She said there was always a
lingering threat the school would be closed
since she felt Notre Dame saw the preschool
as a nancial burden. The school especially
seemed to be hobbling after its director Jan
Lawrence left, with personality conicts and
internal problems, Meier said. It was a shock
that many teachers left right before the
school year started.
I feel like they rushed to get a director,
she said. On the surface, everything was
ne. It is still a functioning school.
Ultimately I think it was the leadership of the
university that could have done more with
getting a director with more experience and
having more proactive mediation or team
building. Its very unfortunate they can just
close it and say that theyre not going to deal
with it.
Rossi previously said not theres plenty of
other places in San Mateo that offer pre-
school service.
There are a lot of options, just not many
Montessori options, Meier said. Its very
rich in terms of curriculum, geography, sci-
ence, art and music. Theyre not playing all
day long; they were really, really learning.
Its mixed aged. Theres not really compa-
rable options in Belmont. Its not a dilap-
idated building.
For the 2012-13 school year, the cost of
tuition for the preschool was $7,690.
Kindergarten was $9,145 for half day,
$10,000 for a full day and $12,600 for an
extended day, which included after-school
Spanish lessons. The school ran from
September through May and also held a sum-
mer Spanish program for four weeks with
two two-week sessions in June and July,
according to the programs website.

to each patients levels of vitamins,
enzymes, proteins, pre-hormones and hor-
mones, as well provide personalized exer-
cise and food recommendations. The aim is
to feel better, while also preventing
strokes, heart attacks, cancer or aneurysms.
Hospitals are in the business of disease
management, said Chief Marketing Ofcer
Chris Matthews. Theyre used to seeing
people come in with problems and were
answering the question of how do you get
optimized? Its about performance tuning;
if you wanted your car to go faster.
The startup was born out of the experience
of Chief Executive Ofcer Jon Orban who
found himself feeling weaker, fussy and was
easily gaining weight after recovering from
a bike accident that resulted in a shattered
shoulder, arm, wrist and hand. He went to
see Richard Lee, a doctor who checked his
environmental and genetic history and ran
extensive lab tests. After three months, he
was back to 95 percent and by a year he was
bicycle racing competitively again. He
notes the treatment was not cheap.
The biggest difference was in my mood
and its mental effect, said Orban, who of-
cially launched the startup two years ago. I
wanted to take that and memorialize it into
software so you dont have to be a CEO to do
this.
Orban said he thinks some of problem
with identifying potential health concerns
is that certain deciencies, such as having
too little vitamin D to be healthy, are not
detected according to normal limits insur-
ance companies created in the 1970s. If
ones levels are within two standard devia-
tions of a normal level, that area is consid-
ered healthy. This doesnt take into consid-
eration age, weight or other factors, he said.
It costs $749 for an initial assessment
that includes blood work, saliva tests, an
interview on family medical history and a
metabolic DNA test. At a second meeting,
the doctor presents the data and offers cus-
tom prescriptions. Its doctors also pre-
scribe custom-blended pharmaceuticals and
supplements that are intended to rebalance
body chemistry and optimize health, if
needed. Insurance doesnt cover GeneSolve.
As much as we would love to take insur-
ance ... insurance companies look at this as
preventative and frivolous, Matthews said.
Follow-ups can happen every three
months to retest. Everyones program is dif-
ferent, so on the low-end patients pay $300
a month for services while the high-end
need patients pay around $3,800. On aver-
age, the cost is about $1,200 per month for
services.
Currently, clients tend to be age 35-60.
The breakdown of clients is about evenly
divided between men and women.
Theyre people who succeeded profes-
sionally and wanted to get their balanced
lifestyles back, Matthews said. Theyre
struggling with chemical imbalances that
no cardio or health training xed.
Additionally, there is a younger set of
clients who simply want to be on top of
their game, Orban said.
These are celebrities and entrepreneurs
who want an extra 20 percent, he said.
Avoiding a 3 p.m. lull at work is anoth-
er benet these clients see, Matthews said.
Ultimately, the goal is to not remain a
boutique company, but to be widespread so
costs can go down and more people can have
access to the service, Matthews said.
This will only work if it scales, he said.
It will be game changing when its avail-
able across the country.

to discuss the low risk of ovarian cancer by
age 40 in the context of the other decisions
that shes making in her life.
But Domchek added: For BRCA1 carriers,
by age 40, I will be nagging you about this
again.
About 1.4 percent of women develop ovari-
an cancer at some point in life, but 39 percent
of BRCA1 carriers do, and between 11 percent
and 17 percent of BRCA2 carriers, according
to the National Cancer Institute. Likewise, 12
percent of average women will develop breast
cancer, but a BRCA mutation raises the risk
four- to ve-fold.
The new study included 5,787 BRCA carri-
ers from Canada, the U.S. and parts of Europe.
Researchers tracked their health for an aver-
age of 5 1/2 years, and found 186 who eventu-
ally developed either ovarian cancer or related
fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer. Ovary
removal reduced cancer risk by 80 percent.
Interestingly, removing the ovaries can
reduce the risk of breast cancer as well by
affecting hormone levels in the body and
Narod found the surgery increased womens
chances of survival even if they already had
developed breast cancer.
Specialists say more than two-thirds of
BRCAcarriers undergo ovary removal at some
point, compared with about a third who
choose a preventive mastectomy. Insurance
generally pays for the procedures.
Key to the ovary decision is having a doc-
tor who knows how to treat the hot ashes
and other menopause problems that can make
women delay the surgery, said Georgetown
genetic counselor Beth Peshkin.

WASHINGTON House Republicans
intent on highlighting the woes of
President Barack Obamas health care law
need to look no further than their own back
yards, some of which are traditionally liber-
al strongholds.
Marylands online health care exchange
has been plagued by computer glitches
since its rollout last year, reflected in
abysmal enrollment numbers well below
projections through January. The states
lone Republican in Congress, Rep. Andy
Harris, has asked the inspector general of
the federal Health and Human Services
Department to investigate.
In Oregon, the online portal has strug-
gled to sign up a single individual, and
Republican Rep. Greg Walden recently sent
a letter to the Government Accountability
Ofce pressing for an inquiry. Ofcials in
both states insist they are working to x
the problems.
Everybodys pointing ngers at every-
one else, so we have no idea why this went
wrong, Harris, who was an anesthesiolo-
gist at Johns Hopkins Hospital for 30
years, said in a recent interview.
Unied in their opposition to the law,
Republicans have been relentless in focus-
ing on its problems, from complaints of
canceled policies to higher insurance pre-
miums and Obamas unilateral decision to
delay for two years the requirement that
small businesses cover employees.
The GOP effort has intensied this elec-
tion year as Republicans look to capitalize
on dissatisfaction with the law, turning
voter dismay into November victories. The
ill effect of Obamacare is the GOPs con-
stant refrain.
Nearly 3.3 million Americans have
enrolled through the federal and state mar-
ketplaces as the federal online site worked
out the problems of its disastrous rollout, a
recent sign of promise for the 4-year-old
law.
A silver lining for Democrats in the
recent enrollment numbers is the actual
sign-ups exceeding projected totals in New
Hampshire, North Carolina, Michigan and
Colorado, according to the January gures.
Three of those states have Senate
Democrats who voted for the law and now
face re-election Kay Hagan in North
Carolina, Jeanne Shaheen in New
Hampshire and Mark Udall in Colorado.
In Michigan, Democratic Rep. Gary
Peters is trying to win the open seat cur-
rently held by retiring Democratic Sen. Carl
Levin.
But local woes have provided fodder for
some Republicans, like Harris and Walden,
as the GOP looks to maintain its steady
drumbeat of criticism.
Maryland is one of 14 states that chose to
run its own exchange, but it has been beset
by technological problems, reports of
ignored warnings before its start Oct. 1 and
a price tag that could exceed $250 million
in state and federal dollars. Even
Democratic ofcials have raised the possi-
bility of perhaps abandoning the state
operation and switching to the federal
online site to sign up individuals.
In the meantime, Harris and Rep. Jack
Kingston, R-Ga., two members of the
House Appropriations Committee, wrote to
HHS Inspector General Daniel Levinson on
Feb. 12 requesting an investigation into
the agrant waste and abuse of taxpayer
monies that were spent and are continuing
to be spent for the creation of the Maryland
health insurance exchange and online mar-
ketplace.
As of January, the most recent enrollment
numbers show Maryland signed up 29,059,
far fewer than its target of 93,000.
In Oregon, the state exchange website
known as Cover Oregon is still plagued
with problems, with individuals unable to
compare policies and sign up. More than
$300 million in federal grants to the state
have gone to the website and its future is in
doubt.
Walden, who chairs the committee to
elect Republicans to the House, along with
Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the
House Energy and Commerce Committee,
sent a letter Feb. 12 to the GAO seeking an
investigation.
GOP seizes on state woes to highlight health care
Everybodys pointing fingers at everyone
else, so we have no idea why this went wrong.

CHICAGO The governments largest-
ever study of Hispanics health may help
answer why they live longer than other
Americans but the rst results suggest that
for some, the trend might be in jeopardy.
Overall, high rates of high blood pres-
sure, obesity, diabetes and pre-diabetes were
found, especially among older adults. But
troubling signs were seen among younger
Hispanic adults. They were the least likely
to have diabetes under control, and the least
likely to eat recommended amounts of fruits
and vegetables.
Hispanics from Puerto Rico were among
the least healthy, while those from South
America, who tend to be more recent
arrivals, were among the healthiest.
The landmark study is the most compre-
hensive effort to document the health of
U.S. Hispanics. It has followed more than
16,000 Hispanics aged 18 to 74 since
2008.
The National Heart, Lung and Blood
Institute released initial results Monday,
revealing a diverse group whose health
habits depend partly on their age and coun-
try of origin.
Mexican-Americans are the largest and
oldest Hispanic group nationwide, but there
has been more recent growth among
Dominicans and those from Central and
South America.
With the changing face of the Hispanic
population, we need more current informa-
tion about their health, said Dr. Larissa
Aviles-Santa, the institutes project director
for the study.
Researchers in four cities are document-
ing prevalence of chronic disease and risk
factors, and trying to determine how adopt-
ing U.S. lifestyles affects Hispanics
health. Aviles-Santa said the results may
provide a better understanding of what some
call the Hispanic paradox longer lives
than non-Hispanic white Americans despite
some known health risks.
Weve never had a study of this magni-
tude, said Dr. Martha Daviglus, lead inves-
tigator for the studys Chicago site and a
researcher at the University of Illinois in
Chicago. Hispanics and Latinos are under-
served and understudied.
She said the results will help communi-
ties nd better ways to prevent health con-
ditions aficting different Hispanic popula-
tions.
The other three study sites are Miami, the
Bronx in New York, and San Diego.
Hispanics are the nations largest, fastest
growing ethnic group and make up about 15
percent of the population.
Landmark Hispanic study may offer longevity clues

the 117-unit building with 3,500 square
feet of retail space to be approved for the
1.2-acre site at East Fifth Avenue and
South San Mateo Drive, according to a
city staff report.
Essex would take over a publicly
accessible 95-space parking lot for the
one- and two-bedroom luxury apart-
ments with rates based on the market and
expected to range from $2,000 to
$3,000 per month, according to the
report. The pre-application stipulates
260 parking spaces, 95 of which would
be available to the public, spread
between one level of underground,
ground level and above ground parking,
according to the report.
Measure Prequires developments taller
than 55 feet to provide a public benet
and affordable housing component of 10
percent below-market rate units per
development. Measure Pis an extension
of Measure H, which was passed decades
ago partly in response to a proposal for
10-story ofce buildings on the same set
of blocks in downtown.
The City Council will ultimately deter-
mine what benets are appropriate once
Essex turns in its development propos-
al. Essex representatives were not avail-
able for comment.
The public and city ofcials have
weighed in on the developer Essex
Property Trusts pre-application during a
community meeting and a Parks and
Recreation Commission study session
Feb. 5. Because this is a substantial
development, the pre-application is
undergoing an extensive review to pro-
vide Essex with suggestions before sub-
mitting its nal application, said Julia
Klein, associate planner and project
manager for the city.
There are questions, though we still
have discretion about whether we feel
good about the mass, about the density
and shadows; theres a lot of things.
Trafc and parking certainly are big con-
cerns for the public, said Planning
Commissioner Rick Bonilla. Its going
to be interesting, but very preliminary.
Yet the pre-application already has
community members apprehensive
about the aesthetics of the building,
increased use of the park, congested
streets, parking and impacts on school
districts.
Concerns, opportunities
For Phillips, trafc is especially dense
on Fifth and Fourth avenues and Essex
would exacerbate the problem and nega-
tively impact the limited amount of
parking thats already at its threshold,
Phillips said.
City ofcials are attentive to worried
residents but, if done correctly, Essex
could align with city policies such as
encouraging high-density residences
near transit-oriented corridors and pro-
viding affordable housing units, said
Mayor Robert Ross.
Yet whether new residents would actu-
ally use public transportation and what
affordable units will actually cost needs
to be examined. He wants to ensure thor-
ough surveys are conducted including
commuter, trafc and parking studies as
well as the impacts increased housing
developments would have on the school
district, Ross said.
Assuming new tenants are amenable to
mass transit, Bonilla agrees high-densi-
ty residences and a portion dedicated as
affordable would benet the city. But
neighbors concerns and the impacts to
Central Park, especially since Essex will
be a pet-friendly establishment, need to
be accounted for, Bonilla said.
Im concerned about shadows and Im
concerned about possible additional
impact on the use of the park because its
going to be very convenient and we
all know sometimes pet owners arent
exactly the most in tune with the activi-
ty of their pets, Bonilla said. Im very
concerned about how the neighborhood,
those who live right there will have to
deal with trafc and pedestrian safety,
how they really feel about it.
Living in downtown is a joy but the
city will need to think carefully if it
plans to keep it that way, said Nancy
Matthews, a 17-year downtown resident.
I dont want to be one of those people
that says I love it here and I dont want
anybody to come, but the things that
make downtown a great place to live
need to be maintained, Matthews said.
I can walk to the movie theater, to the
drug store, to restaurants. Its fun and a
very healthy kind of space, if feels safe,
pleasant. Most people say hello, it feels
like small town, small city U.S.A. and
Im glad to be here, Matthews said.
But the site is not suitable, itd just sort
of [be] an out-of-place, ponderous struc-
ture.
Parking
Based on the current draft, Essex resi-
dents would nd themselves frustrated
trying to turn onto Fifth Avenue to get to
El Camino Real and with senior events at
Central Park and pedestrian trafc, it
would be hazardous as well, Matthews
said.
The city is working on its Downtown
Parking Management Plan and
Matthews suggests building parking
structures close to the downtown core
and spreading residences further out to
make it a more walkable, less congested
and pleasurable place to visit.
But with the dispersing of redevelop-
ment agencies, the city cannot afford to
purchase the costly site, Klein said.
Its denitely prime real estate.
Theres a lot of benet given the loca-
tion, not just because its in the down-
town core, but also because the proximi-
ty to transit and to Central Park. Its def-
initely a very unique location, Klein
said.
Next steps
The Planning Commission will hear
Essexs proposal for the rst time and
along with public input, will comment
and make suggestions to the developer,
Klein said. It will likely take Essex
between one to two months to submit a
nal application after which it will
undergo multiple studies and be chan-
neled back through the Parks and
Recreation and Planning commissions
before reaching the City Council, Klein
said.
The concerns over Essex will be stud-
ied and the impacts weighed against the
benets, Ross said. For a city thats
already working on parking, economic
development and transit oriented devel-
opments in downtown, this project
touches upon it all, Ross said.
Its trying to work with everybody
and come up with a project that works for
everybody, Ross said. We need to get
all of the facts so we can adequately study
those impacts. That allows us to make
good policy decisions.
The Essex at Central Park study ses-
sion is 7:30 p.m. tonight at City Hall,
330 W. 20th Ave. San Mateo.

way through airport security multiple
times. Hartman is now facing six mis-
demeanor charges and a trip to jail
rather than an unpaid vacation.
Prosecutors charged her with three
counts of second-degree burglary, two
counts of trespassing and a count of
identity theft. She pleaded not guilty
and will stand trial March 17.
Hartman, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce, made attempts to
board a plane at SFO on Feb. 15, Feb.
18 and Feb. 20. The rst attempt was
reportedly the most successful with her
getting through security and on board
but caught when the actual ticket hold-
er arrived at the seat. She was removed
from the plane. The next two times she
was allegedly stopped at the security
gate and on the third she had in her
possession a discarded boarding pass
belonging to someone else.
Airport police interviewed Hartman
the rst two times and let her go with
an admonishment not to return after
she told them she was an ovarian can-
cer patient and simply wanted to go
somewhere warm to die, Wagstaffe
said.
But when police found her again Feb.
20, they nally arrested her.
At her initial misdemeanor arraign-
ment, a judge appointed an attorney
for Hartman and set bail at $5,000. She
remains in custody and returns to court
Feb. 27 for a pretrial conference.

NOTICE OF ORDINANCE ADOPTION
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of
the City of San Bruno, California (the City) at its regular meet-
ing on, Tuesday, February 11, 2014, starting at 7:00p.m., at
the Senior Center located at 1555 Crystal Springs Road, in
San Bruno, held a public hearing, at which it adopted the 2013
Fire and Building code Ordinance(s) by reference with local
amendments, by the following vote: Councilmember Ibarra
introduced the ordinance for adoption and passed with four
ayes. Mayor Ruane excused with notice.
The State of California promulgates building stand-
ards (the California Building Standards Code, Title 24 of the
California Code of Regulations) which automatically become
effective on a certain date in all jurisdictions except to the ex-
tent local agencies make amendments which are more strin-
gent than state standards and are reasonably necessary be-
cause of local climactic, geological, topographical, or environ-
mental conditions. The newest cycle of building codes became
effective on January 1, 2014. The public hearing for formal
adoption of the ordinance(s) was scheduled for February 11,
2014 starting at 7:00 p.m., at the Senior Center located at 1555
Crystal Springs Road, in San Bruno.
Codes of the state building codes which were
consid-
ered for adoption by reference with local amendments are as
follows: the 2013 Administrative and Reference Standards
(SBMC Ch. 11.02); the 2013 Building Code, 2013 California
Historical Code, the 2013 California Existing Building Code,
2013 Residential Building Code, 2013 Green Building Stand-
ards & 2012 International Building Code (SBMC Ch. 11.04);
the 2010 Energy Code (SBMC Ch. 11.06); the 2013 Mechani-
cal Code (SBMC Ch.11.08); the 2013 Electrical Code (SBMC
Ch. 11.16); the 2013 Plumbing Code (SBMC Ch. 11.20); and
the 2013 Fire Code (SBMC Ch. 11.24).
In summary, the proposed local amendments to the Citys col-
lective fire and building codes are as follows: Specify re-adop-
tion of Airport sound installation requirements, the responsibili-
ty of the Building Official to administer the Codes, penalties for
violating the Codes, appropriate non-combustible materials for
construction in Wildland-Urban Interface Fire areas, minimum
class B roofing materials, and minimum reinforcement design
requirements. They also include new local amendments per-
taining to fire sprinkler requirements for additions and altera-
tions to non-residential buildings, prohibiting sky lanterns, re-
quirements for addressing buildings, requirements for key box-
es for commercial buildings, requirements for fire command
control rooms in new buildings, and the elimination of elevator
shunt trips.
Certification and Posting:
A certified copy of the full text of the proposed ordi-
nance is available for public review in the City Clerks Office,
567 El Camino Real, in San Bruno.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Carol V. Grener
Case Number: 124164
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Carol V. Grener. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by An-
drew S. Ichimura in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Andrew
S. Ichimura be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: March 10, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
