Facing eviction, Burlingame woman dies

Elder abuse lawsuit moves on, attention turns to 97-year-olds longtime roommate
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Marie Hatch, 97, died Thursday

night with her son Gary by her side and
holding her hand.
The woman, who faced eviction from
her Burlingame home of 66 years, had
been in deteriorating health since she
was given a 60-day notice to vacate her
home last month.
Her lawyers had just filed a lawsuit
against landlord David Kantz on her
behalf alleging elder abuse, breach of

contract and intentional infliction of
emotional distress.
Hatch was promised by three generations of landlords that she could
remain in her California Drive home
until she died.
She was treated respectfully in the
end, said roommate of 32 years
Georgia Rothrock.
Rothrock, too, is now fighting her
own legal battle to stave off eviction
since she technically subleased a
room from Hatch.

Nancy
Fineman
and
Nanci
Nishimura, with Cotchett, Pitre and
McCarthy, had taken up Hatchs case
free of charge and will not drop the
elder abuse claim against Kantz.
There is no doubt that the callous
eviction of Marie Hatch has caused her
death, Nishimura said.
They will also work with Rothrocks
attorneys in her legal battle.
Im 85. Lets be realistic about this.

Deal preserving Burlingame tree grove eyed

Officials to consider agreement amending traffic along El Camino

In an effort to save Burlingames prized

eucalyptus trees lining El Camino Real, and
enhance driver safety, officials are nearing
an agreement altering traffic flow at a problematic intersection on the busy thoroughfare.

For years, Caltrans officials have threatened to thin the historic eucalyptus grove

the citys identity.

South City and schools share

development perks payment
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
South San Francisco officials agreed to

share with the local school district $1 million, as part of an effort to strengthen bonds
between the agencies which in the past have
been strained.
City officials will draw the payment from
the roughly $3.2 million offered by Sares
Regis in a community benefits package
agreed upon as part of the negotiations to
construct 272 new apartments and townhouses downtown.
In granting final approval of the project
during a meeting Wednesday, March 24, the
City Council agreed a portion of the community benefits payment should be passed
along to the South San Francisco Unified
School District.
Vice Mayor Pradeep Gupta said the deal is
representative of the desire of local officials
to work together in the best interest of the
South San Francisco community.
We want to work very closely with our
school district in a very cooperative and
collaborative fashion, said Gupta. We
want to help each other more than in the
past, and assist each other to help the kids
get the best education possible.
City Manager Mike Futrell and
Superintendent Shawnterra Moore are set to
meet and discuss terms of the agreement,
said Gupta, as the school district must also
use the money to provide community benefits for residents.
Gupta suggested the money could be spent
toward improving roads near school campuses, as the funds are dedicated to improve
the quality of life in South San Francisco.
We definitely want to find a common
project that is needed by the school district
and meets the needs of our community bene-

fits definition, he said.
Community benefits packages are often
offered by developers to city officials in
exchange for being allowed to build higher
density projects than would typically be
permitted.
As part of the negotiations with Sares
Regis to purchase the former Ford auto dealership, near the intersection of Airport
Boulevard and Miller Avenue, for redevelopment into a large residential project, the
builder offered the city a payment worth
more than $3 million to be spent toward
improving local parks and open spaces.
The property was originally purchased by
the city with redevelopment funds, which
requires city officials to gain approval from
a board comprised of representatives from
other local taxing agencies before selling.
During discussions of the project with the
redevelopment board, South San Francisco
Unified School District administrators
expressed a desire to receive a portion of the
community benefits package, which Gupta
said city officials found agreeable.
In acknowledgment of the role the local
school district plays in educating local students, city officials agreed to settle on the
square figure of $1 million to share with the
district, said Gupta.
He noted though the payment offered to
the district from the Sares Regis development was unique due to the nature of how the
property was acquired, and said it would likely not set a precedent for sharing community benefit packages in the future.

National Weather Service says
Californias withering winter dry
spell will end this weekend as a
series of storms move through the
state.
Scattered light showers fell
around Northern California early
Friday and were expected to continue on and off overnight before
becoming steady and heavy
through Saturday evening as a
strong cold front crosses the
region, the NWS San Francisco
office said.
Southern California will see rain
arrive slightly later than in the
north, approaching late Saturday
and lasting into early Sunday.
The NWS says a seven-day total

could approach 20 inches of rain
in Northern California and up to
three inches in the southern end of
the state.
In the northern part of the state,
forecasters say that with the rain
will be blustery winds, possibly
up to 60 mph. The strong winds
could bring down trees and power
lines leading to scattered power
outages, the agency said.
Bob Benjamin, a forecaster with

the agency has issued a wind advisory beginning at noon on
Saturday with winds expected to be
around 15 to 20 mph and gusts up
to 50 mph.

SpaceX has another launch under
its belt, but not another rocket
landing.
The leftover first-stage booster
hit the floating platform hard
Friday, said SpaceX chief Elon
Musk. The company never expected to nail this landing, he said,
because of the faster speed of the
booster that was required to deliver
the satellite to an extra-high
orbit.
SpaceX scored a rocket landing
on the ground at Cape Canaveral in
December, but has yet to nail a

trickier barge landing at sea.
The good news, though, is that
the unmanned Falcon 9 rocket successfully hoisted the broadcasting
satellite for Luxembourg-based
company SES.
It was the fifth launch attempt
over the past 1 1/2 weeks;
Sundays try ended with an engine
shutdown a split second before
liftoff. Fridays sunset launch provided a stunning treat along the
coast.
As it has tried a handful of times
before, SpaceX attempted to land
the discarded first-stage booster
on a barge, this time 400 miles off
the coast of Cape Canaveral.

Peanuts for babies? Studies back allergy-preventing strategy

research published last year, suggests that
the early prevention strategy leads to persistent, long-lasting results in children at
risk for food allergies. It found that allergy
protection lasted at least through age 5 and
didnt wane even when kids stopped eating
peanut-containing foods for a year.
That means at-risk kids who dont want
to eat peanut butter on a weekly basis can
safely take a break, at least for a year.
The second new study suggests that the
early strategy could also work with eggs,
another food that can cause allergies in
young children. It found that allergies to
peanuts and eggs were less common in
young children who started eating those
foods at 3 months of age than in kids who
as infants received only breast milk.

The New England Journal of Medicine
published both new studies online Friday,
coinciding with their presentation at a
medical meeting in Los Angeles.
Food allergies are common, potentially
serious and sometimes deadly. Theyre
becoming more prevalent in children in
many countries, affecting up to 8 percent
of kids under age 3. About 2 percent of
U.S. kids have peanut allergies.
The results from last years study
prompted a sea change in experts
approach to preventing these allergies. It
was the first to show that early introduction of peanut can prevent the development of allergy to it, Dr. Anthony Fauci,
director of the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a
statement.
It also led to new draft guidance issued
Friday by a panel convened by Faucis
agency. The recommendations include giv- Food allergies are common, potentially serious and sometimes deadly. Theyre becoming

Hundreds pack funeral for
black man shot by Raleigh officer
RALEIGH, N.C. The funeral Friday for a black man
shot by a North Carolina officer gave his loved ones a
chance to mourn after a week of raw emotions and debate
about how police treat his predominantly black neighborhood.
More than 200 people crammed into Bible Way Temple
near the site where 24-year-old Akiel Denkins was shot
Monday. The service came a day after police issued a preliminary report saying Denkins pulled a gun from his waistband during the struggle, an account that drew skepticism
from people who knew him.
People wearing baggy jeans, red bandanas and anti-police
T-shirts mingled with people wearing smart suits. Mayor
Nancy McFarlane and other city officials joined the family
to view the body before the ceremony.
The service mostly focused on friends and family remembering his shy, boy-like smile and goal to become a carpenter to support his two young children. There were occasional references to the doubts many harbor about the
police version of the shooting reported Thursday.
Justice will be served whether we know it or not. Not by
men, not by a judge but by the ultimate Supreme Court,
Jesus Christ, said friend Aaron Cummings.
Alabama court refuses to

defy Supreme Court on gay marriage
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. The Alabama Supreme Court is
refusing to defy the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
The court issued a one-sentence order Friday dismissing a
challenge by a probate judge and a conservative policy
group that wanted the state to bar gay marriage despite the
landmark federal decision.
In one of several written opinions accompanying the
order, Justice Greg Shaw called the decision a clear refusal
to ignore the Supreme Court ruling last June.
Several other state justices railed against the high courts
ruling while noting they cant overturn it.
Chief Justice Roy Moore wrote that previous state orders
barring gay marriage in Alabama remain. Most probate
judges already are ignoring that directive, however, and
hundreds of same-sex couples already have wed in Alabama.
Retrial in Chandra Levy case now set for fall

trial. The trial is now set to start Oct. 11, but that date is
contingent on defense attorneys being able to move other

Think Trump was crude? The

Founding Fathers just as bad
By Beth J. Harpaz
NEW YORK You could say politics has

reached a new low with the small hands
remarks from the Republican debate.
But the exchange over the size of Donald
Trumps, um, hands is merely the most recent
vulgarity in American politics. The history of
crude remarks goes back to the Founding
Fathers.
In the 18th century, John Adams called
Alexander Hamilton a bastard brat and
wrote that Hamilton had a superabundance of
secretions which he could not find whores
enough to draw off, according to historian
Ron Chernow.
One difference between then and now:

says the comments were quoted in letters that
survived the centuries.)

Trumps GOP rivals attack

his flexibility on policies
By Steve Peoples and Jill Colvin
WARREN, Mich. With an eye on the

general election and suddenly flexible
on immigration Donald Trump has backed
off from some of the hardline rhetoric that has
fueled his presidential campaign, at least for
the moment.
Believe it or not, Im a unifier, Trump
offered during a raucous rally Friday in suburban Detroit. We are going to unify our country.
Republican adversary Ted Cruz wasnt having it. Donald is telling us he will betray us
on everything hes campaigned on, he said
as he campaigned in Maine, one of five states
voting in weekend primaries and caucuses.
Trumps apparent outbreak of moderation
on several fronts, including the most inflammatory one, immigration, comes after a dominant Super Tuesday performance that extended his reach for the Republican nomination
and as GOP establishment figures stepped up
to assail him.
In the rollicking Republican debate
Thursday night, Trump retreated from a position paper on his website, saying he had
swung in favor of more temporary H-1B visas
for skilled foreign workers. His stance
against that had been one of the few specific
policies he had laid out.
Im changing, Im
changing, he said. We
need highly skilled people in this country. Hours
later,
his
campaign
released a statement backing away from the new
position, deepening the
sense that Trumps agenda
may be less strategic than
Ted Cruz
improvisational.
More broadly, he spoke
of the virtues of compromise.
In terms of immigration and almost anything else there always
has to be some, you
know, tug and pull and
deal, Trump added. You
have to be able to have
Marco Rubio some flexibility, some
negotiation.
Cruz and others lashed out at Trumps sudden
embrace of flexibility on the central issue of
his campaign. Flexible is Washington code
word that hes going to stick it to the people, Cruz said Friday.
Campaigning in Kansas, rival Marco Rubio
said Trump has shown constant movement
on the issue, a pattern the Florida senator
says is disrespectful to voters.

WASHINGTON Ben Carson ran for
president, and his consultants won.
The political newcomer, who said Friday
that he was ending his bid for the White
House, raised $58 million, more money
than any other GOP contender raised.
But an Associated Press review of his campaign finance filings show Carsons campaign is an extreme example of the bigmoney business of presidential politics.
His campaign burned through the millions
he raised by spending more on fundraising
and consultants than on mass media advertising, on-the-ground employees and other
pa? When Cleveland won the presidency, the

response came: Gone to the White House, ha
ha ha!
Old-fashioned American politics was full
of those kinds of vile comments, said Arnold
Shober, who teaches government at Lawrence
University in Appleton, Wisconsin. Weve
kind of lost that over the last 70 years, and I
think its just coming back.

And Clintons Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright proved that she could talk dirty when
she said: This is not cojones. This is cowardice, after Cuba shot down CubanAmerican exiles flying civilian planes.
Fast-forward to the Republican presidential
campaign. A week ago, Sen. Marco Rubio,
talking about Trump, said: And you know
what they say about men with small hands.
In Thursdays GOP debate, Trump said of his
hands: If they are small, something else
must be small. I guarantee you there is no
problem.
Trump also has called Rubio little Marco.

long called for less invasive methods to be
considered when addressing the potentially
dangerous intersection.
Syed Murtuza, director of Public Works,
said he considered the proposed initiative a
thoughtful compromise to a historically
emotionally charged issue.
Once you remove the trees, you are not
going to bring them back, he said. If we
can save the trees and solve a problem, this
is a very logical solution.
The council stands to approve the memorandum of understanding with Caltrans to
restrict southbound left turns at the intersection during the upcoming meeting.
The issue gained momentum in recent
months, as city officials drafted a letter to
Caltrans in August advocating for the protection of the trees, in response to a letter

from the transportation agency suggesting

no harm would be done to the historic
nature grove by removing nine trees.
Five of the trees are part of the HowardRalston row, which is identified on the
National Register of Historic Places.
Some residents claim the eucalyptus trees
along El Camino Real are part of the defining character of Burlingame, and staunchly
oppose any of them being removed.
Under the pilot program, the southbound
left hand turn prohibition would stay in
place for three months while officials
gauge its effectiveness in reducing traffic
conflicts.
Also, as part of the agreement, a public
outreach campaign will be initiated by the
cities of Burlingame and Hillsborough, as
well as Caltrans, to collect feedback on the
project.
The purpose of the stakeholders group
will be to explore and develop mutually
agreeable recommendations and/or potential proposals to comprehensively address
the various traffic, pedestrian, infrastruc-
ture, safety and natural resource issues on

the ECR corridor, according to the report.
Murtuza lauded the collaboration between
agencies which has led to the terms of the
proposed agreement.
This is a good thing, he said. This is
building confidence and trust in the community. Its a step in the right direction.
As feedback is sought, Murtuza said the
desire of the Burlingame community is
clear.
We obviously dont want to see those
trees removed, he said.
But those desires should be balanced
against the concerns for public safety, he
said.
The main purpose is to reduce accidents
at that intersection, he said.
In other business, before the council
meeting, officials will study a proposal to
build a new park along the Bayfront, on a
slice of land owned by the State Lands
Commission.
The initiative is one of the variety of capital improvement projects being consid-
ered by the council, which could be

financed through a potential tax measure
that would be floated to voters in an upcoming election.
Councilmembers have expressed concerns regarding the project, as it would
likely require more than $5 million to
develop the park on property owned by a
separate agency.
To develop the project, the city would
need to agree to lease terms for the land, and
indications
are the State Lands
Commission is reluctant to offer agreements lasting longer than 20 years.
In light of the hurdles facing the project,
councilmembers suggested during a study
session earlier this week a wiser investment may be to spend the potential tax revenue on improving the citys existing
parks.
The study session begins 6 p.m. Monday,
March 7, in Conference Room A at City
Hall, 501 Primrose Road. The council meeting begins one hour later, in council chambers.
attractive to pollinators.
College of San Mateo joins Southern
Oregon University and Georgia Tech
University as the first college campuses to
join the program, since it began last year.
Phyllis Stiles, director of the program,
expressed her appreciation for Hankamp
and others at College of San Mateo for
applying to join the bee protection movement.
This is a brand new thing in the country,
and somebody has to get it started, she
said. We have to have those pioneers, and
that takes some courage.
The program targets universities in hopes
of attracting young, involved students who
could be molded into advocates for bee protections in the future, said Stiles.
We are trying to harness the power of
educational institutions, she said.
Bee populations across the globe are
declining, said Stiles, which stands to have
potentially devastating ecological impacts,
and heightens the importance of local protections.

There is an awful lot we can do to reduce
those declines, said Stiles. And that has
to do with welcoming them into our environment.
Landscaping techniques such as planting
native species which are inviting to bees,
being conscious of the types of pesticides
that are sprayed and offering more pollen
and nectar sources can be fruitful efforts in
helping the bee population rebound, said
Stiles.
Hankamp said he hopes to weave the programs initiatives into the schools science
curriculum, in an effort to further educate
students on the value of preserving bee
habitats.
There are no beekeeping programs on the
campus, said Hankamp, as some harbor concerns regarding exposure to those students
who are allergic to stings.
As part of the Bee Campus USA initiative,
signs will be posted throughout the campus

announcing the efforts to preserve bee habitats, which Hankamp noted could serve as a
means of spreading awareness for those who
are worried about the threat of being stung.
In a way, it will help those people out by
providing these signs, he said.
Stiles noted though many bees do not
sting, and their reputation has been harmed
by the more aggressive and threatening
wasps, which are more inclined to attack
people.
With the exception of honey and bumblebees, other bees rarely sting and are
almost incapable of that, Stiles said.
Under the education initiative, Stiles said
participation with the local college campus
is integral in altering the misconceptions
many have about bees.
Getting young people on board is a huge
key we feel to changing minds to the way we
think about pollinators, our bees and our
habitat, she said.

We are looking for opportunities to
work together on these things more, he
said.
School and city officials in South San
Francisco have not always seen eye to eye
on community issues, which most recently
came to a head over discussions of a potential collaborative workforce housing project.
Emotions erupted during a meeting

between school trustees and councilmembers last year after city officials offered to
pay for a study surveying surplus school
properties in search of land which could
be used to build affordable housing projects.
both agencies have begun working independently on examining their own affordable workforce housing initiatives.
Due to the contentious nature of the discussion, no agreement was reached, and
Gupta said the agreement could indicate

relations between the two agencies are on
the mend.
We will provide whatever we can do to
make it better for the schools, he said.
And we hope they will do the same for us.

Cyprus first public gay

Protesters chant slogans and carry an opposition flag during an anti-government protest in Deraa, Syria.
Opposition: Circumstances not

suitable for Syrian peace talks
By Bassem Mroue
BEIRUT Syrians in rebel-held

areas took advantage Friday of a weeklong cease-fire to rally against
President Bashar Assad, demanding his
resignation, while a top opposition
figure said his side believes it is not
suitable for peace talks to resume in
Geneva next week.
Meanwhile, Frances president
expressed optimism, saying discussions about a political transition in
Syria will accelerate with the truce
holding across the war-wracked country.
The rallies in rebel-held areas were
small hundreds protested in the east-
ern sector of the city of Aleppo, in the

western Waer neighborhood of Homs
and in Idlib province but they
reflected a sense of relief amid the
cease-fire that has mostly held since it
went into effect across the country last
Saturday.
The protesters called on Assads government to release detainees from prisons and lift several sieges on opposition areas issues that have been key
demands of the opposition ahead of
peace talks planned to resume in
Geneva next Wednesday.
In a blow to those plans, Riad Hijab,
who heads the opposition High
Negotiations Committee, said that circumstances were not suitable to resume
the talks, adding that the United States

has made many concessions to
Russia, one of the main backers of
Assad.
Despite the truce, Syrian military
operations are still ongoing, detainees
have not been released by Damascus and
little aid is entering rebel-held besieged
areas, Hijab said in Paris. He spoke
shortly after French President Francois
Hollande, after speaking with the leaders of Russia, Germany, Britain and
Italy, said from Paris that there was
agreement to take advantage of the truce
to coordinate humanitarian aid and
open a process of political transition in
Syria though he cautioned about
advancing too quickly.
LARNACA, Cyprus The newlyweds wanted to go allout with their wedding celebrations. All the trappings of a
traditional Cypriot wedding were on display; the huge line
of well-wishers with cash-filled envelopes in hand, a band
playing the latest Greek pop hits and the mandatory roasted pork.
Marios Frixou and Fanos Eleftheriades said they wanted it
that way, a public declaration of their commitment to each
other. Their hope is to offer other gay couples on the small
east Mediterranean island nation the courage to be open
about their love for each other.
Their union is the first public gay wedding in Cyprus,
which has ranked low on an index of LGBT rights. It follows last months first gay wedding but that was a low-key
event involving an anonymous couple.
Late last year, lawmakers paved the way for the weddings
by passing a civil union law that in effect recognizes gay
marriage. It was a big step forward for gay rights in Cyprus,
which only decriminalized homosexuality 18 years ago.
We wanted to give courage to other couples and to all gay
and transgender people to accept themselves and not to be
ashamed of who they are, says Frixou.
Two Syrians receive four

years prison over Aylan Kurdis death
ANKARA, Turkey A Turkish court on Friday sentenced
two Syrian smugglers to four years and two months each in
prison over the deaths of 5 people including 3-year-old
Aylan Kurdi, who galvanized world attention on the refugee
crisis when a photo was published of him lying lifeless on
a beach.
The court in the Aegean resort of Bodrum convicted the
two of human trafficking but acquitted them of the charge of
causing the drowning deaths through deliberate negligence,
the agency said.
The image of the Syrian boys body, face down on a
Turkish beach, graphically illustrated the magnitude of the
migrants suffering.
Aylans brother, Galip, and mother, Rihan, were also
among the five victims who drowned when their boat went
down in the ill-fated journey from Bodrum to the Greek
island of Kos last year. While Turkish authorities have
given the boys first name as Aylan, his aunt says the family prefers that it be transliterated as Alan.

Modest gain for stocks keeps streak alive

By Marley Jay
DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS
NEW YORK Stocks wobbled

to the finish Friday but salvaged a
four-day winning streak after the
U.S. government said employers
added more jobs than expected in
February. That was another vote
of confidence in the economy.
Mining companies made the
biggest gains as metals prices
climbed.
The jobs report showed that
construction, retail and health
care companies are still hiring
more workers. Energy companies
also rose with the recovering
price of oil. Stocks fell back from
an afternoon peak as investors
sold telecommunications companies, which have been the bestperforming sector of the market
this year.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 62.87 points, or 0.4 percent, to 17,006.77. The Standard

This week stocks rose after

doing fairly well. Kate Warne,

job and economic growth for the
U.S.
The worries that weve been
hearing recently about the economy sliding into recession arent
warranted, she said. Combined
with low inflation rates, she said

thats good news for investors.

Metals and energy prices kept
climbing on the continued signs
of life for the economy. Gold,
which is trading at its highest
price in a year, rose $12.50, or 1
percent, to $1,270.70 an ounce.
Silver jumped 55 cents, or 3.6
percent, to $15.69 an ounce and
copper rose 7 cents, or 3 percent,
to $2.27 a pound.
The price of U.S. oil jumped
$1.35, or 3.9 percent, to $35.92
a barrel. Brent crude, the benchmark for international oils, rose
$1.65, or 4.5 percent, to $38.72
a barrel in London.
Oil prices climbed about 10 per-
cent this week and have risen for

three weeks in a row, which hadnt
happened since May. Brent crude
is now higher than it was at the
beginning of the year, although
U.S. crude is still lower.
Those gains helped copper mining company Freeport-McMoRan
gained 63 cents, or 6.9 percent,
to $9. 74. Aluminum producer
Alcoa edged up 10 cents to $9.57.
Energy stocks also kept rising. Drilling rig operators did
the best as investors were
pleased they keep closing rigs to
cut costs. Transocean climbed
$1. 88, or 17. 4 percent, to
$12. 71. Ensco rose $1. 43, or
13. 1 percent, to $12. 36.

The market has now erased most
of its losses after a painful start to
the year. But there are signs
investors are still worried:
investors keep buying utility and
telecom stocks, which are considered safe bets when the market is
troubled, and the price of gold has
surged to its highest levels in
more than a year. And while
stocks have risen the last three
days, the gains were small and
came in choppy trading.
Warne said investors still feel
uneasy about problems ranging
from shaky economies outside the
U.S., low oil prices, and uncertainty over when the Federal
Reserve will raise interest rates
and what effect that will have on
the economy.
I think were going to continue to see a lot of market volatility, she said.

U.S. investigates 420,000 Ford F-150s for brake failure

By Tom Krisher
DETROIT The U.S. government is investigating complaints

that the brakes can fail on Fords F150 pickup truck, one of the most
popular vehicles in the nation.
Fords F-Series pickup is the
top-selling vehicle in the U.S.,
and the F-150 accounts for twothirds of those sales.
The probe covers about 420,000

pickups with 3.5-Liter, six-cylinder engines from the 2013 and
2014 model years, according to
documents posted Friday on the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administrations website.
The agency says it has 33 complaints about the problem, including some drivers reporting that the
pedals can suddenly go to the floor
with a complete loss of braking.
Four drivers reported that the problem caused crashes, although there
were no injuries. The agency
reported that 31 of the complaints
from F-150 drivers came in the
past year, with 20 in the past
seven months.
Some of the drivers reported that
mechanics told them brake fluid
had leaked from the master cylinder to the brake booster, causing
the problem. Some reported that
brake warning lamps came on, or

they found brake fluid reservoirs
empty or low, with no visible
leaks.
Ford said it takes customer safety
seriously and will cooperate with
the investigation. Trucks with
other engines could also be covered by the probe. Ford says F150s with other engines have the
same braking system.
The company said any owner
who has a concern about the brakes

should contact their dealer.
One owner from San Marcos,
California, told NHTSA that he was
backing his pickup out of the
driveway in May of 2015 when the
pedal went to the floor and he completely lost his brakes. The pickup
crossed the street, went over a curb
and hit a neighbors landscape
wall, causing severe damage, the
driver wrote.
Why hotels might come without a closet, desk

By Scott Mayerowitz
LOS ANGELES Hotels are going

for a new minimalist look to attract
younger guests, but the move has left
some experienced travelers angry,
wondering how theyre expected to
get work done without a desk.
Younger travelers, hotels note, just
want a clean and efficient space to
stay. They spend less time in rooms
and like to socialize and work in
vibrant lobbies with a sense of community.
So carpets are being replaced by
easy-to-clean laminate floors. Tubs
are being ripped out in favor of glass
showers. And instead of working at a
desk, guests are increasingly expected
to use glorified window sills or oversized TV trays.
If those flexible workspaces

arent conducive to creativity, hotels
are hoping to nudge guests to bring
their laptops to the lobby, where they
might buy a glass of wine while typing away.
But for seasoned travelers who
enjoy working in the quiet of their
rooms this has caused major
headaches.
Flexible, I have no problem with.
Unusable, is what I have a problem
with, says Don Wright, 59, a computer consultant from Lexington,
Kentucky.
Often, these surfaces arent bigger
than a sheet of paper, he says, adding
that a laptop might fight, but not also
a binder full of documents.
Wright has spent up to 200 nights a
year in hotels and understands that
many make changes to cater to
younger travelers. But he cant imagine any millennial deciding not to

stay in a hotel because the room has a
desk. But for older road warriors, a
lack of a desk is a deal breaker.
When you are 25 all is well and you
can roll up in a ball and sit anywhere,
Wright says. But when you turn 45,
50 or older, your body doesnt like
those types of positons.
Its such a concern that frequent
traveler forums online list desk-less
hotels to avoid.
Charles Kron, a 51-year-old insurance company training consultant
from Atlanta, criticized Marriott in
one such discussion for moving away
from being a business hotel chain.
On one trip, he used the ironing
board as a desk.

HP Enterprise shares surge 14 percent after strong report

By Brandon Bailey
SAN FRANCISCO Hewlett

Packard Enterprises stock rose nearly
14 percent on Friday, a day after the
commercial technology vendor reported solid earnings in its first quarter as
an independent company.
Analysts said the results were better
than expected, showing the new company can increase sales and become
more profitable after spinning off
from the old Hewlett-Packard last fall.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. sells

commercial tech products and services,
while another spin-off, HP Inc., is
focused on personal computers and
printers.
While total sales were down 3 percent from a year ago, HP Enterprise
said revenue from computer servers,
data storage systems and networking
gear all increased after adjusting for
currency fluctuations and one-time
costs. All told, computer hardware
contributed more than half of the companys $12.7 billion in revenue for the
quarter that ended Jan. 31.

The company also reported revenue
from technology services was flat,
after excluding the effects of a strong
dollar. But analysts said the company
should be able to increase profits from
that segment in future quarters, as CEO
Meg Whitman carries out previously
announced plans to cut staffing and
move some jobs overseas.
Shares in HP Enterprise, which is
based in Palo Alto climbed to $15.84
on Friday before closing at $15.44, up
$1.84 for the day.

Baron Davis starts comeback in D-League

By Dan Gelston
NEWARK, Del. Baron Davis kept his

expectations low for his first professional
basketball game in four years.
Im not dunking, he said, smiling.
One game into his comeback, the 36year-old Davis already proved himself
wrong.
Alone in the open court, Davis sprinted
toward the basket on the fast break and
threw down a two-handed slam dunk.
Davis was back.
OK, its not the NBA,

where Davis was a twotime All-Star over 13
seasons and the No. 3
overall pick of the 1999
draft. He was just a backup point guard Friday
night for the D-League
Delaware 87ers. But the
Baron Davis uniform hardly mattered
as much as the comeback
did Davis played for the first time since
May 6, 2012, when he tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his
right knee in a playoff game with the New

York Knicks.
Far removed from the bright lights of
Madison Square Garden, Davis played in
front of a few thousand fans at a college
arena.
But basketball hadnt felt this good for
Davis in years.
I just never thought Id be playing
again, Davis said before the game. Im
kind of just treating it as a new experience.
Wearing his usual white headband, Davis
dunked and dished for the Sevens in a 114106 loss to the Iowa Energy.
Davis scored eight points on 3-of-11

shooting with four assists, three steals and
five fouls in 19 minutes.
I think a lot of it was happening in my
brain, Davis said. I was playing, I was out
there, but I wasnt all the way out there.
He surprised himself with his dunk.
I thought it was LeBron James coming to
block it. I didnt want to lay it up, he said.
I thought, while Im up here, I might as
well try.

Kayla Hart said. Thats just soccer.

The Spartans came out strong from
the opening kickoff, controlling the
ball for the first 15 minutes. They
even earned an early penalty kick,
but missed wide of the post to keep

the game scoreless.

He played pickup games in the

career games truly got the itch to
return around November. His agent

from the ABA and overseas, but
Davis stayed patient and his name
was entered early this year in the DLeague available player pool.
Davis sat unclaimed, unwanted.
The Sevens had two of the top DLeague guards until Sean Kilpatrick
and Jordan McRae, their top scorers, recently signed 10-day NBA
contracts with Brooklyn and
Cleveland, respectively.
So why not take a run at Davis?
The 87ers are affiliated with the
76ers. Davis is free to sign with any
NBA team, but he isnt expecting a
call-up any time soon.
I made it this far, which is crazy,
he said. This is my NBA right
now.
Davis practiced once, went
through shootaround with the

Sevens and entered for the first time
with 6:44 left in the first quarter. He
missed a pull-up jumper on his first
shot, then slammed home two
points with 1:06 left in the quarter.
Hes so smart, thats the thing
that stood out above everything. I
dont know if thats an indictment
on our guys or if hes a just a guy

coach Kevin Young said, laughing.
Davis took the microphone
before the game, thanked fans for
attending and wished best of luck
for both teams.

grand opportunity in the 37th
minute, firing a shot off the right
post from the top of the penalty
box. But the Wildcats continued to
keep the pressure on, even to start
the second half.
Were always like that,
Navarrete said. Were pretty lethargic in the first 10 minutes and
then we play with a different level of
intensity as the game goes on.
Two minutes prior to Kayla Harts
goal, Mountain View had good
chance when Maddie Neidig got
around the back row for a 1-on-1
look from the wing, but fired high
and wide. By the time the Spartans
got their next look, they were trailing.
We knew they were fast; we knew
they were good, Woodside senior
Brianna Hart said. We just matched
up the best we could. And I guess it
worked.

Hart was the team captain of the
Woodside junior-varsity squad last
season.
Here was a young lady who was a

long shot to make varsity at the
beginning of the year, Navarrete
said. Shes a phenomenal young
lady that really works hard.
But she wanted the opportunity to
play with her senior sister for one
season. So, she set the goal to earn a
varsity spot.
I knew I was going to do whatever it took to get a spot on this team,
Kayla Hart said.
Brianna Hart came up big with two
defensive plays in the closing minutes. First, in the 76th minute, she
chased down a potential breakaway
by Spartans forward Ysa Baluyot
with a sliding tackle. Then in the
77th minute, amid a furious scrum in
the keepers box, Brianna Hart had
one of several deflections before the
Wildcats cleared it to avert disaster.
The title is Woodsides third alltime, but just its second sole championship. In 2013, during Aguileras
freshman campaign, the Wildcats
settled for a Division I co-championship after a tie in the title match
with Santa Teresa.

Albuquerque gym that trained MMA fighters in spotlight

By Russell Contreras
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. A sign at the entrance of

Jackson Wink MMA Academy boasts that behind its doors
walk the greatest fighters in the world. And those with
dreams of becoming the next great mixed martial arts fighter flock here from around the world.
The academys team of coaches has trained some of the
sports top fighters and transformed itself from a small,
obscure gym in a rough part of Albuquerque to a 10,000-squarefoot facility located a block from the historic Route 66.
Among those who train at the gym are UFC bantamweight
champion Holly Holm and former UFC light heavyweight
champion Jon Bones Jones.
You got to go where the best are to be the best, said
Dominic Waters, a UFC welterweight fighter who left
California for Albuquerque to train at the gym. That, in a
nutshell, is why Im here.
The athletes say they are attracted to the gym not only
because of the coaching but also for the citys high altitude,
nearby mountains and weather that complement all-year
training.
Before MMAs rise, Albuquerque was a popular boxing
training spot, producing such legends as Johnny Tapia and
Danny Romero.
Started in 2007, the gym was a partnership between Greg Jackson, a martial arts
instructor who once shunned competitive
fighting, and Mike Winkeljohn, a former
kickboxer and 5th degree black belt in
Kempo Karate.
Around 100 or so fighters train at the
gym. The facility also has dormitories
and apartments for athletes. Admission is
based on past performances, tapes of
Holly Holm
bouts or training, and recommendations.
The pair has brought a new training style and philosophy
that centers on humbleness and aggressive fighting borrowing from a variety of traditions, said Josh Nason, an MMA
writer for the Wrestling Observer, a website that covers
mixed martial arts.
Theyve had a huge effect on the sport, Nason said. He
said the gyms philosophy on humbleness counters much of
the trash-talking associated with most fighters.
Cody East, a heavyweight fighter who was recently signed
with UFC, said the all-star cast of athletes, which includes
some current and former champions, humble all incoming
trainees and helps put in place anyone who tries to overstep
a welcome.
If you come to Jacksons and you have the right attitude
youre not going to get star-struck. You come to Jacksons
because you want to be the best in the

world, said Phil Hawes, a former New
Jersey resident and fighter with Titan FC.
During a recent training session, Hawes
sparred with Jones before moving on to
East.
Holm (10-0) was scheduled to train in
the gym later, but officials said she had
been overwhelmed with interview requests
and wanted to concentrate on her upcomCody East
ing fight. She is scheduled to fight
against Meisha Tate (17-5-1) on Saturday at UFC 196 in Las
Vegas.
Co-owner Mike Winkeljohn said the advantage of having
the gym in Albuquerque is that the low-key city doesnt have
the distractions that could get fighters in trouble as larger cities. He said each fighter gets individual attention,
superstar or not.
We become part of their team, he said. No egos here.

Kurt Busch claims pole in Las Vegas with insanely fast lap
By Greg Beacham
LAS VEGAS Kurt Busch has won the

pole for Sundays NASCAR Sprint Cup race
in his hometown, claiming the spot for the
second straight week with a top speed of
196.328 mph on a day of dizzying speeds.
After setting the track qualifying speed
record in Round 1, Busch won his second
career pole at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in
his No. 41 Chevrolet, turning a lap in
27.505 seconds Friday.
It was insanely fast, Busch said. I was
hoping to put on a show for the home crowd,
get the pole, but now weve got to go to
work (Saturday). I hope we can get the car
dialed in for long-run speed for Sunday.
Joey Logano will start up front alongside
Busch after clocking a lap in 27.572 seconds. Matt Kenseth came in third at 25.582,
and Brad Keselowski was

fourth with defending
champion Matt Kenseth
in sixth.
NASCARs new lowdownforce package, the
Goodyear tires and the
Vegas surface combined
to put drivers in position
for high speeds. In all, 14
Kurt Busch
drivers ran a faster lap
than the previous track record.
This is a track where you need more guts
than brains, said Logano, who is in the
front row in Vegas for the third straight year.
(Youve got) to tell yourself to put your
foot on the throttle when you really feel like
you shouldnt. It is fun for that reason.
Busch hit 196.378 mph in the first round
to set the new track record. The older brother
of Kyle Busch is in his 15th race at the mod-
ern track next to the 3/8-mile bullring where

the Busch boys started their racing careers.
Kurt also won the pole in Atlanta last
week, but only after Kyle was sent to the
back for failing inspection.
Every car qualified for the race, since the
39-car field is one smaller than the limit.
Last weeks race in Atlanta was NASCARs
first since 2014 with a smaller-than-maximum field, as well as the smallest number for
a Cup race since 37 cars ran at North
Wilkesboro Speedway in 1996, according to
STATS.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Speed and wind. The
bumper crop of impressive lap times could
lead to a speedy race Sunday or the expected high winds could create caution and uncertainty. Logano and Kurt Busch dont know
exactly how the factors will affect the field.
What we do hope is that it is a constant
wind, Logano said. The gusts of wind is
McIlroys putting change already working well

By Tim Reynolds
DORAL, Fla. Rory McIlroys left-handlow putting style was something he was
considering switching to for a while before
he took the plunge this week at the Cadillac
Championship.
The reason he hesitated, he said, was he
didnt want to be accused of mimicking
Jordan Spieth.
That was the whole thing for me,
McIlroy said Friday, maybe only half-seriously.
Whatever works. McIlroy shot a 7-under
65 Friday on the Blue Monster at Doral, getting to 8 under for the week and going into
the weekend tied with Dustin Johnson for
second, two shots back of Adam Scott.
And the reason McIlroy is in prime position is his putting.
He needed 33 putts on Thursday, leaving
several short in his first competitive round
since switching his putting approach
something hes long tinkered with during
practices. But on Friday, McIlroy took just
23 putts, making 15 of 16 from 10 feet or
closer.
If he needed any more affirmation that the
change works, it came on his closing hole
Friday. McIlroy buried a

20-footer for birdie on
the 18th, getting a huge
roar from the grandstand
and giving him plenty of
momentum to take into
Saturday.
A great putt to finish
with, McIlroy said.
Rory McIlroy Obviously gives me a
lot of confidence going
into the weekend.
For as good a round as it was, McIlroy left
some chances out there as well. After uncorking a 353-yard drive on the 413-yard 17th,
McIlroys chip approach barely cleared a
greenside bunker and left him about a 25footer from the fringe. McIlroy flipped his
wedge skyward after the chip, and the ensuing birdie try wasnt remotely close to the
hole.
SPIETHS DAY: World No. 1 Jordan Spieth
didnt have much of anything going Friday.
Spieth made four birdies and four bogeys,
including one on his finishing hole and
closed the day seven shots behind 36-hole
leader Adam Scott. Spieth slammed a club
back into his bag at one point in his round,
then gave his scorecard a good slap when the
day was over.
Spieth was in a group with world No. 2

Jason Day and world No. 3 Rory McIlroy for
the first two rounds. It only went well for
McIlroy, who is 8 under and two shots off
the lead at the midway point.
For as rough as Spieth found things
Friday, Days struggle was even more pronounced. He birdied two of his first three
holes, then made five bogeys against one
birdie the rest of the way and shot 74.
Day is 12 shots back of the lead going
into the weekend.
TOUGH SLEDDING: Even with relatively
calm conditions, at least by South Florida
standards, the Blue Monster is never easy.
There are plenty of golfers in this field
who would attest to that.
Steven Bowditch shot 80 on Friday, which
actually was a one-shot improvement over
his opening round. Kristoffer Broberg
improved by 10 shots from Thursday to
Friday, and still shot 73. Hideki Matsuyama
was actually 3 under through 12 holes on
Thursday, and has played his last 24 holes in
12 over three double-bogeys helping him
to an 81 on Friday.
The course gave up only one eagle all day
Friday. That went to Kevin Kisner, who made
a 3 at the par-5 eighth when he holed out
from about 50 feet from the right rough.
what crashes cars. ... It is going to be dangerous, treacherous for sure.

WALL WORK: After Jamie McMurray hit
the wall during the first round, Carl Edwards
followed suit in Turn 2 during the second session, forcing him to unload his backup Joe
Gibbs Racing Toyota. Edwards wasnt sure
what happened, but he thought the right rear
tire blew. The two-time Las Vegas winner
was strong in the opening round of qualifying, but will drop to the back to start
Sundays race.
BAD TIMING: Edwards collision hurt
Brian Vickers, who is driving injured Tony
Stewarts No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing
Chevrolet. Vickers fast lap didnt count
when the red flag came out due to Edwards
incident, even though Vickers was in the
middle of his run. Stewart and his team were
unhappy about it, pleading their case to
NASCAR officials.

Joy of driving

ust over a month ago, I took one of

the scariest tests of my life: my drivers license test. My anxiety was
unfounded the test took what seemed
like just five minutes, and I (thankfully)
didnt forget to check over my shoulder
before changing lanes or to drive 25 mph
in school zones.
After I took the test, and the examiner
handed me a large piece of paper with
PASS scrawled across it, I felt a huge rush
of freedom and independence.
Not just because I no
longer needed my parents to drive me everywhere, but also because I
was being trusted with a
potentially dangerous
machine, worth tens of
thousands of dollars.
But more than that, I enjoyed the act of
driving itself. Almost like a sport, driving
keeps me mentally engaged, challenging
me to think critically and quickly, and
leaves me feeling refreshed afterwards,
without the physical exertion sports take.
Until recently, save for the occasional
sighting near the Google headquarters in
Mountain View, self-driving cars seemed to
be a new and innovate technology that
lurked in the background.
While Im usually super excited about trying new technologies, this one seems to be
threatening my enjoyment of driving.
At first glance, self-driving cars seem too
good to be true they are amazingly convenient, and more importantly, extremely
safe. They will make accidents nearly
impossible, as most accidents are due to
human error. Long and unproductive commutes will become quiet periods of time for
people to catch up on work, and all too
common road rage problems will be solved
as autonomous cars dont feel emotion.
Some reports say that self-driving cars
are involved in five times as many car
crashes as normal cars, but again, this is
due to the human error of other drivers,
rather than the error of the self-driving
cars. The safest way to integrate self-driving cars would be all at once, replacing all
conventional cars with autonomous ones.
However, as with most technologies,

London Has Fallen never pretends to be

Fuquas big, dumb and kind of fun Olympus
Has Fallen, is bigger, dumber, jaw-droppingly shameless and also kind of a riot. It
is just so spectacularly clichd and overthe-top that all you can do is laugh.
The craziest thing is how they convinced
everyone to reprise their roles. A dare?
Fond memories? Or perhaps the $161 million worldwide box office receipts didnt
hurt either. In any event, Aaron Eckhart is

Angela Bassett as Lynne the Secret Service

Journalism is having a moment at the

movies.
Days after the journalism procedural
Spotlight won best picture at the
Academy Awards, Paramount is releasing
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, a comic drama
about war reporting with Tina Fey as a rookie correspondent finding her way.
Fey plays Kim Baker, a 40-something

consider a three-month assignment embedded with U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Three

months becomes three years, 2004 to 2006,
as Baker evolves from clueless newbie to

Casting Saldana as Simone

sparks ideas of race, beauty
By Sandy Cohen
LOS ANGELES If there was any doubt

about how Nina Simones family and fans
feel about the upcoming biopic starring Zoe
Saldana, recent social media posts make it
clear they are not pleased.
A fresh round of criticism for the film
erupted after the trailer and poster for Nina
were unveiled Wednesday.
Saldana posted a quote from the singer and
civil rights activist on Twitter, and
Simones estate responded with: Cool
story but please take Ninas name out your
mouth. For the rest of your life.
Simones daughter and others have decried
the choice to cast a light-skinned actress as
the African-American activist since Saldana
took the part in 2012. Her skin was apparently darkened for the role, and she wears a
prosthetic nose.
At the time, Simones daughter, Simone
Kelly, said: Appearance-wise this is not
the best choice.
My mother was raised at a time when she
was told her nose was too wide, her skin was
too dark, Kelly told the New York Times in
a 2012 interview.
Simones dark complexion and tradition-

ally African features were central to her

identity and concept of black beauty, so
casting someone with Saldanas more ethnically ambiguous appearance is galling,
said Miriam J. Petty, assistant professor in

Northwestern University.
Its disrespectful and demonstrates the
depth of the ignorance of the person making the film of the very subject of the film,
she said.
The Simone estate tweeted Wednesday:

nauseating, soul-crushing.
The estate is urging fans to hold listening

The other issue is that self-driving cars
will take away my right to drive, will take
away that independence and enjoyment of
driving. If we compare driving to sports,
namely NASCAR racing, the risks of driving are much lower. But it isnt fair for my
personal pleasure to get in the way of
someone who might only be driving
because they have to get to work.
Perhaps as self-driving cars turn from
being relatively obscure to becoming the
norm, driving will become a recreational

activity, much in the same way that carriage rides or horseback riding, which used
to be primary forms of transportation,
have become recreational activities.
Maybe my fascination and enjoyment
with driving only exists because Ive only
been driving for just over half of a year,
and my excitement will fade as I continue
to drive.
Ultimately, I cant fathom that everyone
will heartily embrace self-driving cars and

give up their own right to drive. For now,
if you really dont like to drive, take the
train or the bus almost the same as
using a self-driving car, save for the lack of
privacy and additional stops.

WICKED IS WICKEDLY POPULAR, AT THE SHN ORPHEUM. Long

before Dorothy drops in, two other girls
meet in the Land of Oz. One born with

the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the
Good. The Grammy-winning score by
Stephen Schwartz (and book by Winnie
Holzman) features the songs The Wizard
and I, Popular and Defying Gravity.
Part of the fun of this high-powered show is
being part of an audience filled with devoted,
appropriately dressed fans (think striped

New collection of Kendrick
Lamar music appears online
NEW YORK Fresh off his Grammy triumph, Kendrick
Lamar has released a new batch of old music.
The eight-song collection titled untitled unmastered. was made available
Friday on iTunes, Apple Music, Tidal,
Spotify and GooglePlay. None of the
songs has a title, just what seem to be
dates, ranging from 2013 to 2016.
Top Dawg Entertainment, the independent hip-hop label Lamar is signed
to, said the collection features studio
Kendrick Lamar versions of the untitled songs that
Lamar performed on The Colbert
Report, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and last
months Grammy Awards.
Many of the songs have a spacy, groovy feel and sound
highly produced, including the standout funky untitled 08
09.06.2014. But untitled 07 2014-2016 is a meandering, eight-minute song that ends with artists collaborating
in a studio, complete with jokes and laughing.

find safety. All thats missing was a montage of them trying on some civilian
clothes so that they arent running around
the desolate streets in their hey, Im the
president and his protector three-piece navy
suits. That, sadly, does not happen.
Anyone who saw the first one knows that
this is not an action movie thats based in
any sort of reality. Its an action movie
based on other action movies. The lines are
big, the jokes are dumb, the through-thetemple shots and ensuing blood splatter
gratuitous, the logic infuriating, and the
gunfire relentless. At one point, when Mike
and the President are in relative safety, Mike
confirms to a terrorist via intercom that,
yes, he is the one with the president.
Mike also might be a murderous
sociopath. When President Ben asks what
ematic clich, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is
guilty. And it will surely be criticized for
casting white actors as key Afghan characters. But the film offers a fresh look at the
adrenaline-laced lifestyle of war correspondents and a timely criticism of TV news.
And it delivers some laughs, too.
Feys Baker is sorely unprepared for her

jokes like I knew youd come out of the

emerges to save him from a terrorist.
The terrorists, by the way, are led by a
powerful international arms dealer (Alon
Moni Aboutboul) who is out for vengeance
after a drone strike targeting him ended up
killing his daughter at her wedding. For
such an epic and comprehensive operation,
his goals are fuzzy at best. Its a wonder how
he was able to turn all those British police
and royal guards into his own personal army

with a vague change the world message.
But thats too much thinking for a movie
that is ultimately just mindless bluster. It
remains so-bad-its-good fun, too, until the
final third which devolves into some troubling Middle Eastern stereotypes and rahrah American patriotic posturing as contrast.
This sort of movie was made for television viewing. You could tune in or out at any
moment and really not miss anything. Or
just have a drink beforehand and bring your

Her translator, Fahim (Christopher

while fellow journalist Tanya Vanderpoel

rowdy ex-pat social scene.
As Baker adapts to her new cultures, she
develops a professional relationship with
an Afghan official, Sadiq (Alfred Molina,
always outstanding), and a romantic one
with fellow reporter Iain (Martin Freeman).
Both test the limits of how far shes willing
to go for a story.
Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John
Requa, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (WTF,
get it?) may be more drama than comedy,
which suits the subject matter. Many of the
laughs come from subtitles translating the
local language Baker inevitably misunderstands. Others come from Feys bumbling
and Col. Walter Hollaneks (Billy Bob
Thornton), no-nonsense intolerance for
such behavior.
Ultimately, Baker faces two challenges in
the film: the farfetched one of rescuing her
boyfriend from Taliban kidnappers, and the
more realistic one of not finding an audience for news from what one soldier she
interviews describes as a forgotten war,
capital F, capital W.
Everyone loves the troops, a TV producer tells Baker, but no one wants to see
them on TV anymore.
As newspapers have closed and news conglomerates grown, realistic portrayals of
the people who gather news are critical to
the survival of journalism as a democratic
institution. Like the HBO documentary
Jim: The James Foley Story, WTF
explores what motivates war correspondents, that pursuit of adrenaline and truth.
Like Spotlight, which follows four
investigative reporters uncovering the
Catholic Churchs child-molestation scandal, WTF shows the tenacity characteristic of reporters on any beat.
So let journalism have its moment,
WTF. Oscar and Tina Fey are fine representatives.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, a Paramount
Pictures release, is rated R by the Motion
Picture Association of America for pervasive language, some sexual content, drug
use and violent war images. Running time:
111 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Sheen seeking to
cut $55,000 child
support payment
By Anthony McCartney
Knight of Cups is a modern telling of the prodigal son fable set in glitzy Hollywood; Rick is introduced as a sleeping prince
who drank from a poison cup. Its one of Terrence Malicks most elementally composed films all earth, sea and sky full
of contrasts between desert and water.
Wayward screenwriter in
Malicks Knight of Cups
By Jake Coyle
After making lyrical, rapturous films

set in the Pacific theater of World War
II (The Thin Red Line) and
Jamestown (The New World),
Terrence Malick has steadily moved
closer to present day and his own stories, too. In a trilogy of films, hes
sought to use all the sensory and symphonic powers of cinema to illuminate
personal pasts his Texas childhood,
an ill-fated romance in Paris, hedonistic success in Hollywood like shimmering kaleidoscopes of memory.
Proust would have really dug it.
Along the way, Malick has astonished and confounded, and in the relative rush three films in five years
follow four in three decades he has
lost some admirers who have watched
his pursuits of transcendence become
too dreamy-eyed, too banal to inspire
the same adulation the revered filmmaker previously enjoyed.
Knight of Cups deeply felt,
wholly admirable, unmoving furthers the trend. Christian Bale plays a
screenwriter whose breakthrough success has brought him riches, women
and existential emptiness. Like
Malicks two previous films The
Tree of Life, the astonishing fatherson tale writ across the cosmos, and
the less successful love story To the
Wonder Knight of Cups is made
in an impressionistic style all
Malicks own that has begun to feel,
despite its earnest yearning, artificial.
More
The story rarely unfolds through dialogue, action or anything like humor,
but through meditative voice-over and
montage in beautiful imagery (lensed
by the cinematographer Emmanuel
Lubezki, the great capturer of natural
light) that expresses the inner thought
and memories of Rick (Bale). He
spends much of the film wandering:
through a decadent Los Angeles pool
party, a dayglow strip club, a vacant
studio back lot. Theres a series of
romances played by Imogen Poots,
Teresa Palmer, Freida Pinto, Natalie
Portman and Cate Blanchett, as his exwife doctor.
Its a modern telling of the prodigal
son fable set in glitzy Hollywood;
Rick is introduced as a sleeping prince
who drank from a poison cup. Its one
of Malicks most elementally composed films all earth, sea and sky
full of contrasts between desert and
water. Early on, a view from on high
captures the glowing arc of the globe,
flickering with rivers of Northern
Lights.
Rick, we piece together, has two
brothers, one of whom died of suicide
at a young age. Brian Dennehy plays
his disapproving father and Wes
Bentley his living brother.
While little is known about the
famously private Malick, the same fate
befell a brother of his. The films
backdrop, too, bears touches of autobiography. Malick famously fled the
industry after making two 70s classics (Badlands, Days of Heaven),
not to return again for 20 years. His
than just a
tax return!

aim here is broader than a Hollywood

critique, but its not surprising that he
would find it soulless.
Do you see the palm trees? one
character asks. They tell you (that)
you can be anything. Antonio
Banderas has an especially good
cameo, lecturing at a poolside soiree
to treat the world as it deserves. The
fleeting images can be inspiring, like
an underwater slow-motion shot of a
dog diving into a pool for a ball.
Malick is a filmmaker of great contradiction: an art-house powerhouse
whose casts are littered with A-listers;
an experimental auteur whose films,
for all their philosophizing, are pure
and simple; a romantic naturalist of
considerable style. Hes best when he
narrows his sights and compels his
characters into action. A script is a tenuous, forgotten thing in any Malick
production, but Knight of Cups was
made without one, and the film often
feels like a series of acting exercises
for thinly conceived archetypes.
The brooding Bale is perhaps a little
too well-suited for such meandering
(though the film gets a kick from the
steely presence of Blanchett). One narration sums up the film, where Rick
laments that hes been sleepwalking,
in love with the world, in love with
love.
Knight of Cups is a vivid collage
that ultimately doesnt take form. But
Malicks ambition for higher meaning
and purer cinematic expression
remains enthralling. For better and
worse, his cup overflows.
LOS ANGELES Charlie Sheen recently sold his profit

participation rights to comedy series Two and a Half Men
for nearly $27 million, the actor disclosed in a court filing seeking to cut
child support payments for his twin
sons.
Sheens filing Wednesday seeks to
alter his divorce settlement with ex-wife
Brooke Mueller. It states his income has
changed significantly and he wants to
change the $55,000-a month minimum
monthly child support payments for his
Charlie Sheen 6-year-old boys.
The actor sold his profit rights to Two
and a Half Men, which was once televisions top-rated
comedy and continues to air on replays, for $26.7 million.
The sale occurred in the past year, the filing states.
Sheens filing estimates a cut in his monthly income
from more than $600, 000-a-month down to nearly
$167,000 as a result of the sale. He lists more than $12 million in debts, the majority of which is owed on mortgages,
taxes, and legal fees.
The actor disclosed in November that he has HIV, the
virus that causes AIDS, but has said hes healthy due to a rigorous drug regimen. His last major project was the FX comedy Anger Management, which aired from 2012 to 2014.
Sheen and Mueller ended their marriage in 2011 after less
than three years. He also has two daughters with actress
Denise Richards.
One aspect of Sheens divorce settlement with Mueller
was that his child support payments for their sons could not
be lower than the amount the actor paid to support his
daughters with Richards. Sheen is now seeking to have that
provision removed and a judge has scheduled a hearing for
April 13.
A call to Muellers attorney Lori Howe was not immediately returned Friday.

JOBS
growth in December and January by a
combined 30,000. Over the past three
months, employers have added a strong
228,000 jobs.
Neither global headwinds, financial
turbulence nor political uncertainty has
dimmed American business enthusiasm
for hiring, said Sal Guatieri, a senior
economist at BMO Capital Markets.
The solid jobs report should allay
recession fears.
Worker pay did slip last month after
having picked up in January. But more
Americans who had been sitting on the
sidelines began searching for jobs last
month and found them.
Employers expect solid consumer
demand in the months ahead even
though the stock market has turned turbulent, oil prices have hurt energy
industry jobs and a stronger dollar has
reduced export sales. Stock trading
opened slightly lower after the jobs
report was released.
Some economists also suggested that
the jobs report created a path for the Fed
to raise interest rates again as early as
June, according to many economists.
The Fed raised rates from record lows in
December.
Low unemployment has historically
caused the Fed to raise its benchmark
rate for short-term lending. But Fed
officials have held off after the
December increase because of concerns
about subpar inflation and the weak
HATCH
Im on the verge of needing assisted
living myself, Rothrock said Friday.
Hatch suffered from agoraphobia,
was afraid to be left alone and rarely
left her home.
I call myself her trusted companion, Rothrock said.
Rothrock
nicknamed
Hatch
Mighty Mouse.
On Thursday, Hatch went to
Rothrocks bedroom door and told her
she needed help. It was about 5 p.m.
She had shortness of breath,
Rothrock said. Son Gary Hatch, 74,
called 911.
She died about three hours later.
Hatchs health declined recently and
was told that owner Kantz would be
showing up to the home with an
appraiser on March 3 the day she
died.
Kantz allegedly inherited the home
after a death in the family.
Near the end, Rothrock said Hatch
developed a persistent cough and
spent most of the day in bed.

global economy.
Its probably a better than a 50 percent proposition that they will raise
the rates in June, said Kevin Logan,
chief U.S. economist at the bank
HSBC.
Retailers added 54,900 jobs last
month. Restaurants and bars added
40,200, the health care sector 38,100
and construction companies 19,000.
Hiring by employers that are directly
associated with consumers has more
than offset layoffs at manufacturers and
fossil fuel companies two sectors
squeezed by the pressures of uncertainty
in China, sluggishness in Europe,
declining oil prices and a stronger dollar.
Job losses for the mining sector
an area that includes the battered energy
industry have totaled 140,400 in the
past 12 months. And manufacturing has
added just 12,000 jobs over that time.
Consumers have provided the foundation for much of the job markets
improvement in whats become something of a self-sustaining cycle. The
nearly 2.7 million workers who have
been added over the past 12 months
have bolstered spending on autos,
housing and meals out.
With unemployment remaining low,
economists say more companies should
begin to raise pay to attract workers,
thereby fueling more hiring and
increasing peoples ability to spend,
invest and save.
For years, one of the key weaknesses
of the economic recovery has been
tepid pay growth. Many of the jobs created in the wake of the Great Recession
were in lower-paid occupations from
cashiers, waiters and store clerks to

home health aides and temporary workers.
But in recent months, wage gains
began to tick upward. The increases
bolstered hopes that employers were
raising pay to keep workers. Over the
past 12 months, average hourly earnings have risen 2.2 percent, compared
with an annual increase of 1.9 percent a
year ago.
Yet between January and February,
earnings fell slightly in a setback for
workers hoping for further gains.
Economists were searching for explanations because wages had begun picking up in recent months.
Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at
Pantheon Macroeconomics, noted that
wages might have slipped last month
because the survey for the jobs report
occurred before Feb. 15, which is often
a payday for people who are paid semimonthly.
Wage growth is often tepid when the
jobs report survey week doesnt include
the 15th of the month, Shepherdson
noted.
Still, steady hiring in recent months
has translated into more consumer
spending in several key sectors. Auto
sales rose 7 percent over last February
to 1.3 million vehicles, according to
Autodata Corp.
Purchases of existing homes rose 0.4
percent last month to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 5.47 million,
according to the National Association
of Realtors. That improvement followed a solid 2015, when sales
achieved their highest level in nine
years.
She hadnt really given up but

everything became too much effort
for her, Rothrock said.
The uncertainty about her housing
situation worried her and the publicity
was a lot to deal with, she said.
She was more worried about her
son than herself, Rothrock said.
Gary Hatch still works and provided
emotional and financial support for
his mother until her death. Hatch had
also become totally dependent on
Rothrock.
It affected my quality of life too,
she said.
Hatch was restless in sleep in her
final days and would wake up in the
middle of the night worrying,
Rothrock said.
The last book Hatch read was to
help calm her and get back to sleep
was Poems to Learn by Heart by
Caroline Kennedy.
Rothrock just returned the book to
the Burlingame Public Library a couple days ago.
Attorney Nishimura was by
Rothrocks side Friday as television
crews stopped by through the day.
We are not abandoning Georgia,
Nishimura said. The elderly should
be revered and honored not discarded.
We are going to continue to give

voice to the Marie Hatchs of the
world.
Greed, she said, is causing landlords
to displace the elderly and those on
limited incomes.
And Kantz, she said, lacked a moral
compass when he moved evict Hatch.
He was told that if you proceed
against Marie Hatch she will die,
Nishimura said about a letter sent by a
friend to Hatch and his attorney
Michael Liberty about the eviction.
An oral contract is just as enforceable as a written contract, Hatchs
attorneys said.
Hatch had been promised that she
could live in the house for life based
upon a decades-old contract with
Vivian Kroeze but the estranged husband of Kroezes granddaughter,
Kantz, started eviction proceedings
initially just before the holidays.
Rothrock must vacate the home by
April 17.
Neither Kantz nor Liberty could be
reached for comment Friday.
Hatchs story received national
attention and an online campaign
generated more than $45,000 to support her. It is unclear how those funds
will be used now, however.

very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to

administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in

9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,

94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor 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 representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable 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 DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

USOC forms infectious disease panel to address Zika

By Eddie Pells
DENVER An infectious disease

specialist
from
the
University of Utah will chair a
group formed by the U.S. Olympic
Committee to address concerns
about the Zika virus and other
health issues at the Rio de Janeiro
Games this summer.
Carrie Byington will head the
group that will establish best
practices for those in the U.S.
Olympic delegation traveling to
Brazil. The mosquito-borne virus
is an epidemic in Central and Latin
America; the World Health
Organization has declared it a
global health emergency.
Zika causes mild illness or no
symptoms in most people but is
believed to be linked to a birth
defect that causes babies to be
born with unusually small heads.
The USOC panel will develop
educational material and be available to offer updates and create
plans for athletes who become ill.
Also on the panel are Randy
Taplitz
of
University
of
California-San Diego and Capt.
Martin S. Cetron from the Centers
for Disease Control.
The health and safety of our
athletes, and our entire delegation, is our top priority, said
USOC CEO Scott Blackmun.
But the USOC came under scrutiny earlier this year when some
U.S. athletes questioned whether
they might travel to Brazil for the
Olympics.
Mo s t n o t ab l y, U. S. s o ccer
player Hope Solo said if the
Olympics were being held now,

Zika-repellent clothes detergent additive.
Studies: More evidence of Zikas risk to pregnant women

WASHINGTON The Zika

virus may be linked to a wider
variety of grave outcomes for
developing babies than previously reported threats that can
come at any stage of pregnancy,
researchers reported Friday.
The findings are preliminary
results from the first study tracking pregnant women in Brazil

from the time they were infected,
and do not prove that Zika is to
blame. But they come as separate
laboratory research released
Friday strengthens the case that
Zika causes a serious birth defect
called microcephaly babies
born with abnormally small
heads by targeting embryonic

brain cells.
Its much more than microcephaly, said Dr. Karin Nielsen
of the University of California,
Los Angeles, who led the pregnancy study with colleagues at
the Fiocruz Institute in Brazil. It
seems like it can act on multiple
fronts.
she wouldnt go.

The USOC responded by sending
a letter to members of its delegation emphasizing the federations
concern about the virus. It publicized a page on its website

USOC. org/RioTravelUpdates
where it would post the most
recent news on Zika and other

health-related concerns.
The CDCs most recent advice,
issued last week, was for pregnant
women to consider not going and

for their male sexual partners to
use condoms after the trip or
abstain from sex during the pregnancy.
The CDC also recommends that
all travelers use insect repellent
while in outbreak areas and continue to use it for three weeks after
travel in case they might be
infected but not sick.
The Olympics will be held Aug.
5-21, which is winter in Brazil,
and mosquitoes arent expected to
be as abundant.
Still, America sends the largest
delegation one filled with stars,
some of whom have already voiced
their opinions.
Earlier this week, Michael
Phelps told the Associated Press
that hell travel to Brazil, along
with his fiancee and their newborn
son.
Were not worried about it,
Phelps said. I think if you go
into any Olympics, theres always
something that comes up.
The International Olympic
Committee has distributed guidance to all the Olympic teams. The
USOC is monitoring that advice,
and making members of the new
panel available to its athletes.
Our in-house medical team are
some of the best in the world at
what they do, but having access
to, and relying upon, the kind of
outside expertise represented by
this advisory group is just another
way we can make sure our athletes
and staff have what they need to be
well and compete at a high level,
said the USOCs managing director of sports medicine, Bill
Moreau.
