Storm causes Colma roof collapse
Two burglary suspects were hospitalized early Monday

morning after they crashed their car during a pursuit with
San Mateo police.
At 4:45 a.m., police received a report of a vehicle burglary happening in the 200 block of Harvard Road, according
to police spokesman Sgt. Rick Decker.
Upon arrival, officers found the burglarized car but were
initially unable to locate the suspects.
A short time later, officers located one of the suspects
nearby attempting to burglarize a different vehicle while
the other suspect waited inside another car, Decker said.
The suspects then fled in their car, which officers discovered was reported stolen out of San Jose.
Officers pursued the suspects south on El Camino Real,
according to Decker.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Workers and shoppers at the Babies

R Us store in Colma avoided a potential tragedy when a portion of the
stores roof unexpectedly collapsed
over the weekend.
Saturated by rainfall, the roof fell
under the weight of an air conditioning
unit mounted on top of the building
Sunday, March 13, around 5:30 p.m.,
according to Colma police Sgt. Roger
Jordan.
Roughly 20 people were in the store
when the cave-in occurred, said Jordan,
but none were injured and only one person was hospitalized due to feeling
light-headed.

Courtroom custodian sues county, deputy

Former bailiff faces civil case for pointing gun at janitor
By Samantha Weigel
Comment on

www.smdailyjournal.com
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A San Mateo County sheriffs deputy

accused of pointing his gun at a courtroom
custodian and making a racial slur is facing
a civil lawsuit as the victim claims his
career was ruined after being diagnosed with
post-traumatic stress disorder.
Jose Verdusco, a custodian employed by
the county for nearly a decade, filed a civil
complaint in San Mateo County Superior
Court Friday against the county and Deputy
Andy Mar.
Mar is charged with a misdemeanor for the
April 13, 2015, incident when he walked
into a courtroom where Verdusco was talking to a court reporter and court clerk.
Verduscos attorney announced Monday he
was amending the suit to include a claim that
his clients civil rights were violated as Mar
had previously made another racially inappropriate comment.
Verduscos complaint alleges Mar is
responsible for assault, false imprisonment
and infliction of emotional distress; while
the county was negligent in hiring, training, supervising and retaining the law
enforcement officer who is scheduled to face
a jury April 18.
Mar, 51, was working as a temporary
bailiff at the Southern Branch of the court at
400 County Center in Redwood City, when
he brandished his service gun and pointed it
at Verdusco, according to the complaint.
Verdusco pleaded for him to stop while
trying to move out of the sight of the
firearm but Mar continued and said you
want some South Carolina justice referring to the days earlier events of unprovoked law enforcement shootings of civilians, according to the complaint.
While physically uninjured during the
incident, Verdusco, a 34-year-old who grew
up in Redwood City, had previously been

shot, said Todd Emanuel, an attorney representing Verdusco. The incident with Mar
caused his client to experience post-traumatic stress disorder and his doctor deemed
him unable to return to work at the courthouse, Emanuel said.
The suit alleges Mars coworkers at the
Sheriffs Office tried to suppress the incident and Emanuel said hes appalled the
deputy was only charged with a misdemeanor.
The criminal justice system will not do
enough in addressing my clients harm and
losses, Emanuel said. We feel [Mar is]
being treated with kid gloves in the criminal proceedings and secondly, [Verdusco]
was, and is traumatized. He has not been
able to go back to work in his capacity in
the courthouse after several months of getting help.
Emanuel said they amended the complaint
Monday to include a claim that his clients
civil rights were violated after hearing Mar
had previously made another inappropriate
racial comment toward Verdusco. Prior to
the incident, Emanuel said Mar reportedly
saw Verdusco at the courthouse and stated
they hire any Mexican here.
Verdusco had a pretty difficult childhood
and I think that Mar held it against him,
Emanuel said. My client had been shot
many years ago, so when someone points a
gun at him, he takes it very seriously.
Emanuel said the act and racial slurs raise
questions as to the Sheriffs Offices hiring,
training and supervision particularly
because Mar returned to work the following

day and two other deputies allegedly told

him not to say anything.
Mars civil defense attorney did not return
a request for comment.
County Counsel John Beiers said he
planned on filing a motion to dismiss the
county as a party in the case as the agency
shouldnt be held liable for Mars actions.
If the gun allegations are correct, then
the employee did act alone, without any
involvement of the employer, Beiers said.
The employer had no notice, no involvement, did not condone that behavior, if the
behavior did in fact take place.
Sometimes employees behavior is outside
the scope of their employment, in which
case theyre not entitled to a taxpayer-funded defense and indemnity.
Emanuel noted the District Attorneys
Office led a comprehensive investigation,
but only after his client approached them.
The complaint was originally filed in San
Francisco earlier this year but transferred to
San Mateo County Friday. The suit alleges
Verduscos career was cut short and is seeking an unspecified amount of damages
including medical expenses and lost earning
capacity.
He had been there for more than 10 years,
he was very happy, he was well received and
he was well on his way to a nice pension. He
wanted to live out his work-life expectancy
in that job and continue to move up the
ranks, Emanuel said. He cant feel safe
there now, its extremely difficult for him to
even appear in the courthouse when hes
subpoenaed to testify in the criminal case

Woman chases, strikes burglar

A San Mateo man was charged with
five felonies after being chased down
and getting into a physical altercation
with a woman whose car he burglarized.
Derrick Orenelas, 55, was arrested
Saturday, March 12, on the 700 block
of North Idaho Street and is being held
on $50,000 bail after he plead not
guilty Monday, according to District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The incident began around 3:49 p.m.
when a 27-year-old woman allegedly
caught Orenelas rummaging through
her unlocked car. Orenelas, who apparently lived down the street, ran when
confronted and the female victim pursued him on foot, Wagstaffe said.
She chased him down an alley but,
when she got close, Orenelas slashed
at her with a knife, causing a minor cut
to her abdomen. At some point the
woman grabbed a small baseball bat
and Orenelas grabbed a gardening

Wagstaffe said.
Later in the day, the woman saw him
sitting on his porch near the incident.
Police contacted him and during a
search found a baton with spikes sticking out of the end, Wagstaffe said.
He was charged with five felonies,
including two counts of assault with a
deadly weapon, two counts of vandalism and possession of a billy club. He
was also charged with misdemeanor
petty theft for stealing the womans

He was assigned to the private

Three arrested on suspicion of

providing alcohol to minor decoy Jean Barbara Walters
Three people who were willing to
buy alcohol for a minor were arrested
Saturday when Daly City police officers conducted a shoulder tap decoy
operation.
The operation involved minors who
would stand outside a liquor or convenience store and ask customers to buy
them alcohol, indicating that they
were underage and couldnt buy it,
according to police.
The minors worked under the direct
supervision of an officer, police said.
The three people who agreed to buy
alcohol for the minor were arrested and
cited on suspicion of furnishing alcohol to a minor. The penalty is a minimum $1,000 fine and 24 hours of community service, according to police.
The program is designed to reduce
access to alcohol for minors, police
said.
Jean Barbara Walters, born Nov. 25, 1925, died Feb. 27,
2016.
She was 90.
She was predeceased by her husband
Link Walters, parents Albert and Anna
Tavalott and her sisters Rea and Diane.

Storms replenish key

California reservoirs
By Janie Har
SAN FRANCISCO Four straight days of

rain have replenished several key reservoirs
in Northern California, delighting a state in
its fifth year of drought and raising hopes
that water-use restrictions might be eased.
The series of storms that started late last
week drenched the state, closing roads and
schools while causing flooding and power
outages.
Northern California was the hardest hit
over four days. Other parts of the state saw
the heaviest rainfall late last week.
Forecasters had issued an avalanche warning that expired Monday along the crest of
the Sierra Nevada, where the highest peaks
received up to 5 feet of snow over the week-
end. The snowpack normally stores about

30 percent of the states water supply.
As the latest storm weakened, warm temperatures and blue skies were forecast
throughout California during the rest of the
week.
The El Nio-related storms led to the death
Sunday of a highway patrol officer who was
struck while directing traffic on a snowy
Sierra Nevada freeway.
Full reservoirs and lush snowpack in
Northern California are critical for the
entire state as the water eventually flows to
the agriculture rich Central Valley and densely populated Southern California, which has
seen relatively little rain this winter.
In Northern California, officials reported
that lakes Shasta and Oroville havent been
as full since 2013.
SACRAMENTO A former executive of

Pacific Gas & Electric Corp. signed an agreement to protect the reputation of the utility
as part of a $1 million settlement she reached
with PG&E when she left to work as a top aide
for the California governor, a consumer
group alleged in a complaint filed with the
states political watchdog.
The advocacy group Consumer Watchdog
said Monday that it has asked the Fair
Political Practices Commission to investigate whether Nancy McFadden had a conflict
of interest because of her stock holdings in
PG&E and the settlement while working as
executive secretary to Gov. Jerry Brown.
The group says McFadden took the lead for
Brown on matters dealing with the Public
Utilities Commission while she owned more
than $100,000 in PG&E stock. McFadden
reported owning stock in PG&E in 2011,
2012 and 2013. She no longer reported owning the stock in 2014. The group says she is
required to report the date of any stock sale.
Public officials are not supposed to make
public decisions when their personal
finances are at issue, said Jamie Court,
Consumer Watchdog president.
California has numerous conflict-of-interest laws for public officials. In general, government officials are required to disqualify

their financial investments. McFadden did
not respond to an email from the Associated
Press on Monday seeking comment.
The governors spokesman, Evan Westrup,
who said he was responding

on
behalf of

inaccuracies and has no
merit. He added: Folks

Westrup said the separation document is a
standard corporate agreement. He did not
respond to more detailed questions.
Brown appointed McFadden as his executive secretary on Jan. 5, 2011. Later that
month, he appointed two new commissioners to the Public Utilities Commission,
which regulates utilities. The complaint says
they were seen as overly pro-consumer.
The agreement cited in the complaint says
in exchange for a payment of $1,044,000,
McFadden agrees to refrain from engaging
in any conduct or course of action or making
or publishing any statements, claims, allegations or assertions, which have or may reasonably have the effect of demeaning the
name or business reputation of the company, or anyone affiliated with PG&E.
The 57-page complaint cites emails
between former PUC President Michael
Peevey and PG&E executives, who were concerned about falling stock prices in the wake
of a Sept. 9, 2010, pipeline explosion and
fire that killed eight people near San Bruno.
The company was later cited for pipeline
safety violations.
Obituary
SCOTT COZ COSGROVE
January 6, 1964 February 23, 2016

SCOTT COZCOSGROVE, born January 6, 1964, passed away
on February 23, 2016 while hiking in his beloved Southern
California Santa Monica Mountains. He was a world-renowned
climber and one of Hollywoods top motion picture industry
stunt riggers.
By the time Scott was 25 he had earned a reputation as
one of the worlds best climbers. He went on to complete
some of the hardest sport climbs in the country, including over 400 rst ascents. In the
decades that followed, many of the routes he established saw only a handful of ascents.
From the south face of Yosemites Half Dome to the Central Tower of Paine, an 8100-foot
high blade of granite in Patagonia, there was no challenge that Scott couldnt conquer.
Scott shared his passion for climbing through his company, California Mountain Guides, and
became the go-to guide for many of Americas elite military Special Forces. His climbing acumen
led him to Hollywood where he was a sought-after aerial stunt rigger with over 35 feature lms
to his credit and an Oscar for technical achievement. He took great pride in teaching Jennifer
Lawrence to climb for the Hunger Games and in his work with Mark Wahlberg on the movie,
Lone Survivor.
Scotts passion for life, friendship and adventure will endure in the memories of those fortunate
enough to have known him. With his passing the world is a little less bright, but those who loved
him and called him friend can take comfort knowing he lived a full life following his passion:
The mountains are calling and I must go.
Scott is survived by his mother, Dr. Betty Cosgrove, his sister, Lori Elbert, his brother-in-law,
John Elbert, his beloved niece, Holly Elbert, stepmother, Britt-Marie Cosgrove, and his cousins:
the families of Chuck Walker, James Taylor, and Bob Calaghan as well as many friends. He was
preceded in death by his father, Dr. Theodore J. Cosgrove and his sister, Karen Cosgrove.
Rest in peace beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.

Senate votes to confirm King
to head Education Department
WASHINGTON The Senate narrowly voted Monday to
confirm John B. King Jr. as the nations education secretary.
The vote was 49-40. King has served as
acting secretary at the Education
Department since Arne Duncan stepped
down in December.
As secretary, King will oversee the
department as it puts in place a bipartisan
education law passed by Congress and
signed by President Barack Obama in
December. The measure revamps the widely criticized No Child Left Behind Act and
John King
substantially limits the federal governments role in public schools.
Obama nominated King last month. After the vote, Obama
said King will continue to lead our efforts to work toward
high-quality preschool for all, prepare our kids for college
and a career, make college more affordable, and protect
Americans from the burdens of student debt.
Mondays vote comes as an Associated Press investigation finds little change in the business and marketing practices at a for-profit college that the Education Department
helped rescue from near-collapse, despite pledges to ditch
the hard-charging sales tactics that have led to complaints
for lawmakers and former students.
Amtrak train derails in Kansas, injuring at least 32

CIMARRON, Kan. An Amtrak train carrying 131 passengers derailed in rural Kansas early Monday, moments
after an engineer noticed a significant bend in a rail and
applied the emergency brakes, an official said.
At least 32 people were hurt, two of them critically,
authorities said.
Hours later, investigators said they were checking whether
a vehicle crash may have damaged the track before the accident.
The train known as the Southwest Chief was apparently
traveling at about 75 mph when the engineer noticed the
deformity in the rail and pulled the brakes, a U.S. official
told the Associated Press. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because that person was not authorized to
speak publicly about the federal investigation.
The train, which also had 14 crew members, was making a
43-hour journey from Los Angeles to Chicago when it
derailed shortly after midnight along a straight stretch of
tracks in flat farmland near Cimarron, a small community
about 160 miles west of Wichita. Eight cars derailed, and
four of them ended up on their sides.
Justice Department: States

shouldnt jail over fine nonpayment
WASHINGTON The Justice Department is discouraging
state court systems from jailing poor defendants who fail to
pay fines or fees, warning against practices that it says run
afoul of the Constitution and erode community trust.
A letter sent Monday by the federal government to state
court administrators makes clear that judges should consider
alternatives to jail, such as community service, for poor
defendants who dont pay their fines. It also says judges
must consider whether defendants have the ability to pay,
and should not turn to incarceration without first establishing that a missed payment was willful.

House Benghazi probe: Report

by summer, factor for Clinton
By Matthew Daly
WASHINGTON Nearly two years

after it was created, the House
Benghazi Committee is plowing
ahead interviewing witnesses,
reviewing documents and promising a
final report before summer that is
certain to have repercussions for
Democrat Hillary Clintons bid for
the presidency.
The panels Republican chairman,
Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina,
said in an email to the Associated
Press that the committee has made
considerable progress investigating the deadly 2012 attacks that
killed four Americans, including the
U. S. ambassador to Libya, Chris
Stevens.
Gowdy declined to elaborate specif-

Gas lines connected to the air conditioning unit snapped during the accident as well, said Jordan, adding
another potentially dangerous component to the mix.
Jordan expressed a sense of relief
that no one in the store was seriously
injured in what could have been a disaster.
Its terrible the store is going to be
closed, probably for a while, said
Jordan. But the big picture is that no
one was injured or, more seriously,
killed.
Jordan speculated the feelings of
being light-headed which led to a man
being taken to the hospital could have
been a result of exposure to the gas
leak.
The store, located at 775 Serramonte
Blvd., will be shuttered for an undetermined amount of time while workers

progress has been

The

inquiry has gone

took to investigate
Hillary Clinton the
terrorist
attacks that killed
nearly 3, 000 people on Sept. 11,
2001, spending more than $6 million
in the process, Democrats said. They
say the only goal of the investigation
is to undermine Clintons candidacy.
Gowdy declined to be interviewed,
but said in a statement that the committee had advanced in its inquiry in
recent weeks, after interviewing
national security adviser Susan Rice;
her deputy, Ben Rhodes, and other

witnesses. Former CIA Director David
Petraeus and former Defense Secretary
Leon Panetta are among those who
have testified before the panel in
closed-door sessions at the Capitol.
Many of the witnesses, including
Rice and Rhodes, had not been interviewed before by a congressional
committee, Gowdy said. The panel
has interviewed a total of 83 witnesses since its creation in May 2014,
including 65 never before questioned
by lawmakers, he said in an email to
the Associated Press.
The committee also has gained
access to documents from the State
Department and CIA and to a cache of
emails from Clinton and Stevens,
who was killed on Sept. 11, 2012 in
twin attacks on the diplomatic outpost and CIA annex in Benghazi.

from Toys R Us, the stores parent
company.
Those unaware of the incident were
turned away from the store Monday,
March 14, by private security hired to
direct shoppers to the nearest Babies R
Us store in Redwood City.
Rubi Dimas, a delivery driver who
picks up daily shipments from the
store, said she was surprised to learn of
the accident.
This was unexpected for me, she
said.
She expressed compassion for those
who were in the store when the roof
fell.
At least nothing happened, she
said. But that needs to be fixed, for
sure.
The air conditioner unit fell through
the roof and dropped to the floor of the
store, said Jordan, while much of the
other collapsed areas fall was broken
by shelving.
Building inspectors have visited the
site to judge the structural integrity of
the facility, said Jordan.
Six police officers and three vehicles from the fire department responded to emergency calls reporting the
collapse moments after it occurred,
said Jordan, to ensure everyone in the
store was safely evacuated.
He said he believed the roof was
weakened by saturation from the
severe rain storms which struck the
area recently.
It may have been a result of the
excess rain gathering on the roof,
causing the roof to lose its stability
said Jordan.
Colma received roughly 1.2 inches
of rain over the weekend, according to
the National Weather Service, and the
most rain fell throughout Sunday,
March 13.
Jordan said, to his knowledge, no
one was struck with debris which may
have fell from the ceiling during the
collapse.
For his part, Jordan said he was
pleased no one was harmed in what was
a dangerous scenario.
Fortunately, nobody was injured,
he said.

The two suspects were hospitalized

Juan Vargas Garibay.
The other is refusing to cooperate

yet determined the suspects identity,

16 race barrels toward potentially

presidential primary season barreled toward a

a campaign rally in Cleveland, Ohio.
Marco Rubio hoped the two big states would
give them a boost instead. Kasich seemed to
have a better chance at that than Rubio.
The contests come at a remarkable moment
in the presidential race for Republicans.
Animosity toward Trump has risen to the
point where he can rarely get through an
John Kasich
event without being interrupted by protesters. The

front-runner is also under
scrutiny for appearing to
encourage his supporters
to physically confront
those protesters, deepening divisions within the
Republican Party.
In a lightly veiled jab at
Trump, Republican House
Speaker Paul Ryan of

Disorder at Trump rallies:

As American as cherry pie? Sanders seeks Midwest wins
By Jerry Schwartz
Even before the presidential candidate

arrived at the rally, the arena seethed.
Fistfights broke out as the national anthem
played. Supporters tore up demonstrators
signs, beat them with sticks, pummeled
them with folding chairs.
The year was 1968; the candidate was
Alabama Gov. George Wallace.
If youre struggling with feelings of deja
vu, youre not alone. The recent dark turn of
the 2016 presidential campaign the ugly
scuffles and confrontations at Donald
Trumps rallies has brought back memories of the turmoil of the 1960s, and fueled
fears that America is careering into a similarly angry and violent era.
Will it happen? Theres no way of knowing. Some note this is a different time:
When Wallace climbed the stage of Detroits
Cobo arena, on Oct. 29, 1968, college campuses were exploding, American cities were
in rubble, and Wallaces incendiary words
were just some of many, many angry words
of that era.
As contentious as our times may seem,
theyre not that bad

yet. But protesters, drawn
by Trumps positions
against immigrants and
Muslims, have been
ejected from his rallies;
one North Carolina man
was charged with assault
after he was caught on
Donald Trump video hitting a man
being led out by deputies
at the event in Fayetteville. Trump says he
does not encourage violence; the fault, he
says, lies with the demonstrators.
In fact, if you take the long view, whats
happening is not all that unusual. Politics
and violence have been mated since the
republics earliest days. It was black power
activist H. Rap Brown now serving a life
sentence in the 2000 murder of a sheriffs
deputy who said violence is as American
as cherry pie. Other, more reputable
observers agree.
The colonies victory over the British,
believes Glenn W. LaFantasie, professor of
civil war history at Western Kentucky
University, taught Americans that violence
can be justified so long as it can be done for
a good cause.

Nigeria arrests Mexicans at meth super-lab
LAGOS, Nigeria Nigerian drug agents arrested four
Mexicans who were allegedly helping build a super-lab
capable of producing billions of dollars worth of methamphetamine, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency
said Monday.
Spokesman Mitchell Ofoyeju said it was the first industrial-scale production of crystal meth found in West Africa,
and possibly on the continent.
The Nigerians invited the Mexicans in to leverage their
expertise in these industrial-scale, high-yield productions, said Ofoyeju.
The warehouse in southern Delta state could produce
8,800 pounds a week of the synthetic drug, which sells for
$6,000 a kilogram in Nigeria but as much as $300,000 a
kilogram in the Asian markets favored by Nigerian drug
dealers, Ofoyeju told the Associated Press. Most goes to
Singapore and Malaysia.
The lab completed a first successful production in
February and the agents raided it as the Mexicans were producing a second run, Ofoyeju said. Only 1.5 kilograms of
meth was recovered with 200 gallons of liquid methamphetamine.
Mexicos Foreign Relations Department said its embassy
in Nigeria was working with local authorities to confirm
the suspects identities and nationalities and determine
their legal status.
Iraqi general: Palestinian-American

member of Islamic State surrenders
IRBIL, Iraq A Palestinian-American member of the
Islamic State group gave himself up to Iraqi Kurdish forces
in the countrys north on Monday, an Iraqi Kurdish general
said, a rare instance of a voluntary surrender of a militant
fighting with the extremist group in Iraq.
The man had been lurking near the peshmerga lines
since late Sunday night, according to Maj. Gen. Feisal
Helkani of the Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga forces, which are
playing key role along with the Iraqi military in battling the extremist IS group.
Helkani said his troops first tried to shoot the man,
assuming he was a would-be suicide bomber.
Then in the morning, he walked across and gave himself
up, Helkani said, adding that the man is a PalestinianAmerican who was fighting with IS in Iraq.
The surrender took place on the front lines near the town
of Sinjar, which was retaken by Iraqi forces from IS militants late last year.

Putin orders start of Russian

military pullout from Syria
By Vladimir Isachenkov
and Jamey Keaten
MOSCOW President Vladimir

Putin ordered the Russian military to
withdraw most of its forces from Syria,
timing his move to coincide with the
launch of Syria peace talks Monday
an end game that allows the Russian
leader to cash in on his gains and
reduce his risks in the conflict.
The start of the negotiations in
Geneva offers Putin an opportune
moment to declare an official end to
the 5 1/2-month Russian air campaign
that has allowed Syrian President
Bashar Assads army to win back some
key ground and strengthen his positions ahead of the talks. With Russias
main goals in Syria achieved, the pullback will allow Putin to pose as a
peacemaker and help ease tensions
with NATO member Turkey and the Gulf
monarchies vexed by Moscows military action.
At the same time, Putin made it clear
that Russia will maintain its air base
and a naval facility in Syria and keep
some troops there. Syrias state news
agency also quoted Assad as saying
that the Russian military will draw
down its air force contingent but wont
leave the country altogether.

ANKARA, Turkey Turkey lashed

out Monday at Kurdish targets, bombing military positions in northern Iraq
and rounding up dozens of militants at
home after a suicide car bombing in the
heart of the capital drew the country
even deeper into the complex Syrian
conflict.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said
there were strong indications that
Sundays attack was carried out by the
rebels of the Kurdistan Workers Party,
or PKK.
There was no immediate claim of
responsibility for the attack.
Davutoglu added that authorities had
detained 11 people directly connected
to the suicide bombing near a line of
bus stops that killed 37 people. DNA

tests were underway to identify the
bomber and another body believed to be
that of a person who assisted, he said,
while a senior government official has
said the bomber was a woman.
There are very serious, almost-certain indications that point to the separatist terror organization, Davutoglu
said, referring to the PKK.
The attack further complicated

a host of enemies across its borders

I was gratied to read that the Half

I am sad to say that when the card was

Trumps silent majority

Editor,
Just like the November 2014
national landslide when Republicans
won back the U.S. Senate, increased
their House seats and took over 35
state legislatures/governorships, the
2016 presidential election is a repudiation of Obama Democrats failed
socialist policies.
The silent majority that caused the
2014 trouncing of Democrats is now
voting for Trump to make America
great again. Americans are sick and
tired of Obama Democrats belittling
and criticizing America and our
accomplishments to the world; tired
of being called racists for wanting
to secure our open and porous national border which every other sovereign country (even Mexico) can do
without criticism. The silent majority
respects cops and doesnt believe
Democrats PC rhetoric that America
is a racist country. Americans want
limited government (not Obamas
$25 trillion debt) and a focus on helping Americas 50 million unemployed, not Obamas misguided and
illegal executive orders to give work
permits, Social Security numbers,
welfare, health care and amnesty to
illegals. Democrats promote a pathological liar named Hillary Clinton as
their presidential nominee, who
Americans cant stand.
Go America, go Trump make
America great and proud again.

The poorest man

M
otivational speaker and athlete Giavanni

Ruffin once said that the poorest individual
is not one without a penny. Rather, the
poorest individual is one without a dream, a vision or a
faith that can carry them through lifes challenging
moments.
We frequently acknowledge the age-old axiom that
there are some things money cannot buy. Yet, most of
us spend the vast majority of our lives tirelessly working to attain monetary wealth. Monetary wealth allows
us to support ourselves and our loved ones by the means
of a society that operates on the basis of an accepted
monetary norm. We also trust its value enough to invest
our life savings, pensions and earnings.
The value of currency is particularly evident in politics, where a presidential candidate spends an average of
about $1 billion. Politicians
have been known to use the
influence of money to win
elections, often by making
promises they cannot keep to
win the hearts of the American
people. Many politicians suggest that money alone will
solve our nations most pressing issues. Needless to say, we
feel the influence of money
Jonathan Madison
daily and are very much aware
of its power in our society.
Nevertheless, we are also mindful that money does not
within itself build anything lasting or sustainable, but
rather is a means to its own end. That end is what each
of us chooses to make it in each moment. It is obvious
that money alone cannot change the plight of a nation,
at least not the soul of a nation. Take our very own
industrious and wealthy nation, for example. In spite of
the vast riches we acclaim throughout the world, more
than 15 percent of American citizens live in poverty. We
can also take our Golden State as an example. According
to Californias Department of Education, public school
funding receives nearly half of the states budget, which
far exceeds the amount spent on any other program.
Despite the vast resources employed for public school
funding, California continues to rank near the bottom of
the 50 states in reading and math.
We are reminded that money cannot bring an individual true love, peace or understanding. Money cannot
give an individual compassion and empathy for others.
Rather, it is ones core values that build character,
integrity, love and prosperity.
We can glean from the last words of proclaimed billionaire Steve Jobs the true value of wealth and what is
most important. Facing a seemingly endless battle with
pancreatic cancer, he solemnly shared with others that
while he appeared through the eyes of others as an epitome of success, that he had very little joy. Jobs stated
that in the end, wealth was only a fact of life to which
he had grown accustomed.
Jobs went on to admit that all the fame, wealth and
accolades he once took such great pride in, had now
become meaningless as he faced his inevitable death.
Now I know, said Jobs, that when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth, such as
building valuable relationships, and pursuing our
dreams.
Jobs stated that money has the means only to bring us
an illusion of joy, while real love from God has the
capacity to truly change our lives for the better. In his
final gesture, Jobs acknowledged that he could not take
the wealth he accumulated in life with him beyond the
pass of death. What he could bring, however, were his
memories of the ones he loved most. That, Jobs said, is
the true wealth that will follow each of us and give us
strength and light throughout our short time here.
I do not suggest that we should stop working to attain
wealth or to support our loved ones. Rather, we should
each realize that the most important possession we have
here is each moment spent with the ones we love. As
Jobs said in one of his final sentiments, Treasure love
for your family, love for your spouse, love for your
friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.

Stocks nearly unchanged ahead of Fed meeting

By Marley Jay
DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS
NEW YORK U.S. stocks barely budged Monday, finishing

mixed as lower oil prices pulled
energy companies down while
hotels and travel-related companies rose.
Trading was quiet Monday ahead
of the Federal Reserves meeting
later this week, which is expected
to shed some light on the possibility of a future increase in
benchmark interest rates.
Lately (the market) seems to
quiet down ahead of the Fed, said
BlackRock portfolio manager
Peter Stournaras.
U.S. stocks missed out on a
global rally that lifted stocks in
Europe and Asia. The Standard &

Appeals court upholds

injunction against pot delivery app
LOS ANGELES A state appeals court has
upheld a judges decision to block a smartphone app that allowed people in Los
Angeles to have medical marijuana delivered
to them.
A division of the 2nd District Court of
Appeal said Monday the app by a company
called NestDrop violated a 2013 voterapproved law that restricted medical marijuana facilities in the city. The three-judge
panel said that law, Proposition D, also
generally prohibits marijuana deliveries by
vehicle. The panel upheld a lower courts
decision to issue a preliminary injunction.
A call to an attorney for NestDrop was not
immediately returned.
The company was sued in 2014 by Los

it down as a violation of Proposition D.

U.S. to fire monitor overseeing

WASHINGTON The Education

Emerging player from China

could disrupt Marriott plans
NEW YORK A fight for control of the

Starwood hotel chain is under way following
a $14 billion buyout offer Monday from a
consortium led by Chinas Anbang Insurance
Group.
Anbang, which remains largely unknown
to most Americans, has quickly positioned
itself to become a player in the U.S. hotel
industry, acquiring marquee properties.
It made a splash in the fall of 2014 when it
bought New Yorks Waldorf Astoria for
almost $2 billion. And just days ago, it cut a
$6.5 billion deal for Strategic Hotels &
Resorts Inc., which owns tony properties
like The Westin St. Francis in San Francisco,
JW Marriott Essex House in New York and
Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego. Strategic
also owned five different Four Seasons
hotels, two Ritz Carltons and six other luxury properties.
Now it is going toe-to-toe with U.S. hotel
giant Marriott International Inc., which said
late last year that it would buy Starwood, the
owner of Sheraton, Westin and St. Regis
hotels, in a deal worth $12.2 billion. That
acquisition would create the worlds largest
hotel chain with 5,500 properties and more
than 1.1 million rooms around the world.
Such scale would give the combined company pricing power when negotiating commissions with online travel agencies such as
Expedia and Priceline, as well as help it land

more corporate travel contracts.
The next-largest hotel company is Hilton
Worldwide with 4,500 properties and about
735,000 rooms.
Marriott and Starwood like other hotel
chains own very few individual hotels.
Instead they manage or franchise their
brands to hundreds of individual owners,
often real estate development companies.
Those individual hotel owners are responsible for setting nightly room rates. It isnt
uncommon for a developer to own a
Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and Sheraton in the
same city. Thats how Strategic, for
instance, owned hotels under the Westin, JW
Marriott, Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons and
InterContinental brands.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc.
said Monday that it still favors the Marriott
deal, but that its looking at the latest bid.
Company shares jumped almost 7 percent
to a new high for the year.
The offer from the Chinese group includes
$76 per Starwood share and Interval Leisure
Group stock currently valued at about $5.50
per Starwood share. Starwood said that there
are still a number of matters that need to be
worked out in the groups proposal.
Asian companies have been acquiring U.S.
properties because it is a relatively safe
place to park money, particularly with signs
of slowing economic growth in China.

Oh, how Greer Hoyem can take over a game.

While Menlo-Atherton ultimately trounced
Heritage-Brentwood 71-46 in Saturdays
Northern California Division I quarterfinal,
the victory didnt feature the wire-to-wire
dominance the final score implies. M-A led by
just two points at halftime.
Then came Hoyem-time.
The Bears 6-1 sophomore center collected a
game-high 25 points, including 11 in the
third quarter to change the complexion of the
game. Just another day in the life for the
Peninsula Athletic League South Division
Most Valuable Player, who opened the tournament last Wednesday with a double-double,
totaling 22 points and 13 rebounds in a 56-44
win over Washington-SF.

shes really consistent, M-A head coach
Markisha Coleman said. Shes going to do
whatever it takes to help the team. Her focus
is never really to score a lot of points. Its
whatever it is to help the team be successful.
M-As success last week was historic. The
win over Washington was the Bears first victory in a Nor Cal game since March 9, 1994
when former head coach Pam Wemberlys
squad toppled Shasta 62-57.
For leading M-A such heights, while totaling 47 points through the two games, Hoyem
has been named the Daily Journal Athlete of
the Week.
She played her same low post power game;
she posted up, Coleman said. If she feels
she has that advantage, she goes hard to the
basket.
Posting up and backing down defenders has
been Hoyems calling card for two varsity seasons. During that time, she has come a long
way under the mentorship of a couple of good
ones junior power forward Ofa Sili and
assistant coach Hayley Grossman.
Hoyem met both upon arriving at M-A last
season. And while Sili was initially slated to
play center in 2014-15, a knee injury derailed
most of her regular season, causing Hoyem to
have to take over at the 5.

Theyre super excited, Coleman said.
Theyve been working hard since
November. This is the furthest M-A has gone
in a long time, so the girls are super excited.
To add to the excitement, M-A will be travelling by charter bus for the first time this
season. The Bears generally commute to road
games via carpooling parents, with three or
four players to a vehicle. Tuesday, however,
they will be shuttling in style for the biggest
game of their varsity careers.
Waiting for them is a fierce St. Francis team
led by its own prolific twin towers. Kyra
Huffman a 5-11 senior averages 13.2

Hoyem will match up with 6-2 senior center
Lauren Craig, who averages a double-double

I just hope no matter how good they are,

Cal moves to fire

harassment claim By Doug Feinberg
Baylor on April 3 in the Wildcats wont have to leave the area until
NCAA womens basketball tournament field set
By Lisa Leff
SAN FRANCISCO An assistant mens

basketball coach at the University of
California, Berkeley, became the latest
employee found to have violated the
schools sexual harassment policy, drawing
swift and serious sanctions Monday after
complaints that punishment was too lenient
in previous cases.
Head coach Cuonzo Martin immediately
moved to fire the assistant, Yann Hufnagel,
and to bar him from traveling with the team
during the upcoming NCAA Mens
Basketball Tournament, the athletic department said in a statement.
Youre talking about a guy whos part of
your staff and a family member, Martin,
who is in his second year coaching the
California Golden Bears, told reporters during a conference call. We continue to push
forward. Its not an easy thing, but well
find our way.
The woman who accused Hufnagel of sexual harassment is not affiliated with the
school, university spokesman Dan Mogulof
said. It opened an investigation in August
after she complained about a detailed series
of communications and behaviors from
Hufnagel between November 2014 and May
2015, Mogulof said.
The woman was in touch with Hufnagel as
part of her work, and campus investigators
concluded in a report issued Monday that
some or all of the behavior she reported violated the universitys sexual harassment
rules, Mogulof said.

NEW YORK Breanna Stewart made it

her goal to win four titles in her career at
UConn. Now she and her Huskies are six
wins away from accomplishing that
unprecedented feat.
Honestly, I dont feel that much pressure, Stewart said. The pressure was more
last year or my sophomore season, just
because I needed those to finish this one.
Now, its just this is it. This is my last try.
The Huskies havent really talked about
the history they could make over the next
three weeks.
They know obviously that this is an
opportunity for them to win the fourth
national championship. They know that,
UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. And
theyve known it since the first time we met
at half court there for the first day of practice. The only other time it has been mentioned is in passing when they do something stupid and I say, Teams that are trying
to do something great, they dont do that
stuff, not in March.
UConns road to a fourth straight national
championship will begin at home.
The Huskies were the top overall seed in
the womens NCAA Tournament that was
revealed Monday night. UConn (32-0)
wont have to leave the state until the Final
Four in Indianapolis. The Huskies are in the
Bridgeport Regional.
Joining the Huskies as the other No. 1 seeds
are South Carolina, Notre Dame and Baylor.

four consecutive championships. The UCLA

Stewart
a row. A title this year
would give Auriemma 11 in his career,
breaking a tie with vaunted UCLA mens

First up for the Huskies, who have been a
No. 1 seed for 10 straight years, is 16-seed
Robert Morris. The Colonials won the NEC
championship.
The top four seeds in each region will host
the opening two rounds except for No. 4
Michigan State, which has a conflict so
fifth-seed Mississippi State will take over
as the host.
Tennessee earned a No. 7 seed, the lowest
in school history. The Lady Vols, who have
played in every NCAA Tournament, will face
Green Bay in the opening round at Arizona
State.
Is it where we usually are? No, but its a
great spot for us to go to work, Tennessee
coach Holly Warlick said.
While Tennessee has to head west, fourthseeded Stanford could be heading east. Tara
VanDerveers team hosts former player
Jennifer Azzi and her San Francisco Bay
Area program in the opening round. If they
can advance to the Sweet 16, the Cardinal
will play in Kentucky. The third-seeded
the Final Four. They host the opening two

rounds and then would play in Rupp Arena
for the regional.
For our team to work hard enough and be
able to earn a top-16 seed and host in
Memorial Coliseum is great, Kentucky
coach Matthew Mitchell said. So they had
to earn that and I am grateful the committee
put us in Lexington. We are going to have to
really work hard to get a victory in the first
round, but the prospects to get to play in
Lexington for the Sweet 16 is exciting.
Tennessee, Kentucky and South Carolina
are three of nine SEC teams to make the
field. That ties the Big East (2011) for the
most ever in the womens tournament.
Two-bid Ivy League

Days after announcing the first Ivy
League postseason tournament, the league
earned the first at-large bid for either a
mens or womens team with Princeton earning an 11-seed. The Tigers, who will face
West Virginia, lost to Penn twice during the
regular season their only conference
blemishes.
Im bursting with pride for my team and
for this great University. Princeton just
became the first team in Ivy League history
to earn an at-large bid, Princeton coach
Courtney Banghart said. Thats something
that will mean so much to me for forever. As
an Ivy League alum, I share in the significance of this day with the many great scholar-athletes and coaches that are a part of this
special league.
Penn is a 10-seed and will face
Washington in the opening round.

No. 4 Menlo-Atherton (27-4) at

No. 1 St. Francis-Sacramento (27-5), 7 p.m.
BOYS
The Bears easily advanced to the seminals, winning their rst two Nor Cal games
by an average of 18.5 points. The technical
difculty will take a big jump up for the
Bears as they face the best Division I team
in Northern California.
The Troubadours are averaging just shy of
70 points per game this season and have
four player averaging double digits scoring.
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Notre Dame-Belmont volleyball star Katie

Smoot is bound for the University of
Arizona, as the junior verbally committed to
the Pac-12 program in January.
Smoot is the outstanding attacker who led
the Tigers to the CIF Division IV state championship in 2015, after leading the West
Catholic Athletic League in overall kills
with 515 and ranking second with 4.9 kills
per set.
A 6-1 outside hitter known as Big Red
because of her signature red hair Smoot
drew plenty of Division-I interest, including
contacts with Cal Poly, Columbia, Iowa
State, UC Irvine, Loyola Marymount and
University of San Diego, she said. She ultimately decided on Arizona because of its
standing in the Pac-12.
I like [Arizona head coach Dave Rubios]
coaching style, Smoot said. And I wanted
to go in a conference where Id have the
chance to play against the best players out
there. Ive always wanted to play in the Pac12.
Arizona first scouted Smoot at the
Colorado Crossroads tournament during her
sophomore season with the prestigious
Redwood City-based Encore club team,
coached by Notre Dame-Belmont head coach
Jen Agresti.
It was primetime to witness the Encore
Navy 16-1 team embarking on its run to taking third place at the 2015 Girls Junior
National Championships, as it was at the
Crossroads tournament Smoot and company
earned their first bid to the world series of
high school club volleyball.
According to Agresti, Arizonas scouts
were impressed with her crushing kills,
which have become something of an iconic
sight in the San Mateo County high school
ranks in recent years. But Smoots all-around
game was still a work in progress, especially in the passing and serving departments.

Katie Smoot not only led Notre Dame-Belmont

to a state championship this season, she
refined her all-around skills to earn a full
athletic scholarship to the University of Arizona.
Fast forward to this club season, with
Smoots bronze-medal toting team moving
up to Encore Navy 17-1s. Rubio himself
attended the California Kickoff in San Jose
Jan. 16-18, the opening tourney of the club
season. The day after the tournament,
Arizona offered Smoot a full four-year athletic scholarship.
She played great and she was crushing the
ball, Agresti said. She was showing ball
control which is a great thing. Obviously we
took a lot of time in developing her game
and [Rubio] was so excited to see her development, he offered her a scholarship the
next day.
As a club coach, Agresti has taken a team

The Bears reward for outlasting

McClymonds-Oakland 57-53 in the quarternals Saturday? A seminal matchup with
the Central Coast Section Open Division
nalist Bells.
The good news? M-A should be very
familiar with Bellarmine, having suffered a
one-point loss to the Bells, 58-57 in the
third game of the season.
And if there is any edge to gain from a
Nor Cal opponent, it could be the comfort
factor. The Bears had no real idea what to
expect from Mack, having never played
the Warriors before. But M-A has played
teams from the West Catholic Athletic
League this season and in seasons past.
The Bears know what to expect when playing a WCAL team: a physical, grinding
game.
Division II
No. 4 Antelope (24-8)
at No. 1 Serra (23-6), 7 p.m.
The Padres eclipsed the 80-point barrier
for the third time this season, scoring a
season-high 83 against Leland in their
quarternal, 83-49 win.
Given the stakes, it might have been
Serras best performance of the season.
Antelope, which had a rst-round bye,
got by Serra nemesis Newark Memorial 5449 in the quarternals Saturday.
Division IV
No. 4 West Campus-Sacramento (28-5)
at No. 1 Half Moon Bay (29-3), 7 p.m.
There will be a lot on the line for the
Cougars when they host the Warriors. Not
only will they be playing for a spot in the
seminals, they will be shooting for a
30th win on the season, which would set a
new school record. Half Moon Bay will
also be looking to keep its undefeated
home record. With Saturdays dominating
76-52 win over Liberty Ranch, the
Cougars ran their home mark to 13-0 on
the season.
West Campus had won eight in a row
before losing 47-46 to Central CatholicModesto in the Sac-Joaquin Section nal.
The Warriors escaped with a 52-51 win
over St. Patrick-St. Vincent-Vallejo in a
quarternal game Saturday.

Division IV
No. 3 St. Marys-Albany (18-13)
at No. 2 Menlo School (20-7), 7 p.m.
You may have heard of St. Marys being a
national power.
This is not THAT St. Marys. The Rams of
Stockton have one of the best teams in the
country. The Panthers are just 18-13 this
season.
But that is not to say the third-seeded
Panthers are not a dangerous team. They
played a rugged schedule, including a loss to
top-seeded Cardinal Newman in the North
Coast Section championship game.
No. 4 Sacred Heart Prep (21-6) at No. 1

Cardinal Newman-Santa Rosa (28-5), 7 p.m.
The Gators continue to defy odds with a
roster that goes just nine deep, but a strong
schedule helped them prepare to get to this
exact moment.
SHP has played seven games against four
teams that earned Nor Cal spots two each
against Menlo School and Eastside College
Prep, as well as a win over Scotts Valley in
the CCS title game and a non-league matchup
against Menlo-Atherton and Saratoga, which
won the CCS Division III title.
Cardinal Newman comes in having won
14 of its last 15, losing to Salesian in the
NCS championship game. Overall, the
Cardinals have won 16 of its last 18 games.
Division V
No. 4 Urban-SF (24-8)
at No. 1 Eastside College Prep (17-11)
The Panthers record doesnt look very
pretty, but given the level of play at which
they compete a Division V school
against a lot of DIV and higher schools,
they were a no-brainer No. 1 seed.
They captured the CCS Division V title,
beating Woodside Priory and they cruised to
a 65-31 win over Argonaut-Jackson in the
quarternals Saturday.

Ichiro so close to 3,000 hits if he can get enough ABs

By Steven Wine
JUPITER, Fla. Ichiro Suzuki sits at his

locker, an interpreter by his side, and the
nature of conversation with the future Hall of
Famer gives him extra time to craft a response
to the question: How much longer does he
expect to play?
The query is relayed to him in Japanese.
Suzuki smiles as he replies with a joke that
loses nothing in translation.
At least until 50, he says in Japanese.
Everyone laughs, despite the serious subject
matter. Baseball does indeed have a clock, and
Suzuki is racing it.
At 42, the Miami Marlins outfielder is the
second-oldest player in the majors, three
months younger than Mets pitcher Bartolo
Colon, according to STATS.
Suzukis productivity declined dramatically
last year, his first in Miami. Even though he
played in 153 games due to injuries to teammates, including slugger Giancarlo Stanton,
he batted a career-low .229. His .279 slugging
percentage ranked 230th and last in among
hitters with at least 325 plate appearances, and
Ichiro Suzuki
his .561 OPS was fourthworst.

It wasnt a sudden drop
off: Suzuki who has
played in at least 143
games each of the past 15
seasons, the longest such
streak in the majors,
according to STATS has
a career average of .314,
but hasnt batted .300
since 2010.
He has 2,935 hits, however, leaving him on
the verge of a milestone that tempers any
temptation to retire. Anyway, hes not yet
ready to make concessions to the clock.
Nothing has stopped me because of the way
I feel or the way Im performing physically,
Suzuki said. That may come down the road.
Right now I havent changed anything.
He denies that chasing 3,000 is the motivation to keep going, saying he plays because he
loves the game. But the countdown will add
some uncharacteristic drama this season for
the perennial also-ran Marlins.
It would be an unbelievable great thing,
Suzuki said. But Im a fourth outfielder. If I
was a starter heading into this year it would be

different. I could say in two months I should be
there. You dont know what kind of opportunities Ill have.
The Marlins would like to play Suzuki less.
He had 398 at-bats last year and appeared to tire
at the end, going 12 for 97 (.124) over his
final 36 games.
He probably played more games last year
than he needed to play, new Marlins manager
Don Mattingly says. Youre asking a lot. If
we get to that situation, were probably not in
a very good situation injury-wise. Well try to
make sure were not overusing him.
If Suzuki bats .260, he would need 250 atbats to reach .300. If he hits .229 again, he
would need 284 at-bats.
And will a team give him a chance again in
2017 if he falls short of 65 hits?
The milestone would reinforce Suzukis elite
stature. He could join Ty Cobb, Paul Molitor,
Eddie Collins and Honus Wagner as the only
players with 3,000 hits, 500 stolen bases and
a career .300 average, according to STATS.
Even Barry Bonds is impressed. The home
run king is the Marlins new hitting coach, but
dont look for him to tutor Suzuki much.
Goeddel hits 1st homer of spring
MLB brief
SARASOTA,
Fla.
Hillsborough native Tyler Goeddel

led the off the game by taking a
Gallardo pitch deep Goeddels
first home run of the spring and
Maikel Franco, the leagues homerun leader in spring training, hit
two more and drove in four runs
Monday in the Philadelphia
Phillies 8-7 loss to the Baltimore
Orioles.
Last year I was fighting for a
position. I think I tried too much,
said Franco, who has six home

runs and 14 RBIs in 11 games this
spring. Now I just feel comfortable, I know Im going to be in the
lineup every single day, and thats
made me more patient, more
relaxed.
Both of his homers came off
Yovani Gallardo, who allowed
three homers in 2 1/3 innings in
his second start. Hes allowed four
overall in spring training.

Cueto taken to
hospital, no sign
of a concussion
By Rick Eymer
MESA, Ariz. San Francisco Giants

pitcher Johnny Cueto was taken to the hospital Monday night but showed no initial
signs of a concussion after he was hit in the
head by a line drive that
did not knock him out of
a 10-2 loss to the
Oakland Athletics.
Cueto was hit in the
forehead by Billy Burns
liner on his first pitch in
the bottom of the first
inning. The ball caromed
into center field for a douJohnny Cueto ble.
The right-hander was
examined by team trainers, took a couple of
warmups and finished his three-inning
stint. Afterward, he went to the hospital for
a precautionary examination.
Cueto was then brought back to San
Franciscos spring training complex in
Scottsdale and treated for a bruise, the team
said. The Giants planned to monitor him
through Tuesday.
Cueto gave up three runs, all on Josh
Reddicks homer, and five hits. He walked
one and struck out two.
A free agent this offseason, Cueto signed
with San Francisco for $130 million over
six years.
Oakland ace Sonny Gray pitched effectively into the fifth inning. Danny Valencia
homered for the As and Burns had two hits
and two RBIs. Marcus Semien also had two
hits.
Matt Duffy homered off Gray in the fourth.

Steelers WR Martavis Bryant

suspended at least one year
By Will Graves
PITTSBURGH Martavis
Bryants blossoming NFL career
took another significant hit
Monday when the NFL suspended
the talented but troubled wide
receiver for at least one year following another violation of the
leagues substance abuse policy.
This is the second league-mandated discipline for Bryant. The 24year-old sat out the first four games
last season following a violation
during the offseason.
Bryant caught 50 passes for 765
yards and six touchdowns when he
returned in Week 6 and was dynamic
in the playoffs. He made an acrobatic touchdown grab in a wild-card
win over Cincinnati and accounted
for more than 200 yards of total
offense in a loss to Denver in the
divisional round, a game the
Steelers played without All-Pro
Antonio Brown.
The Steelers pointed to Bryants

seasons. This year will be no different. Encore earned a bid to junior nationals, once again at the
Colorado Crossroads tournament.
The team took second place,
falling to A4 Volley out of Lake
Forrest in the finals after a grueling semifinal match with Kansas
City Power.
Now the pressure is off,
Agresti said. Thats a really big
monkey on everybodys back. So
now we can shift our training to
working out the fine kinks.
Encore graduated just four players from last years team, but added
some star-studded talent out of
WCAL powerhouse Mitty
helmed this season by former
Menlo-Atherton head coach Ron
Whitmill including Texas
Christian University commit, setter Tori Dilfer and libero Kate
Formico.

2016 as key for
the franchise getting back to the
Super Bowl. Now
theyll make that
journey without
the
6-foot-4
speedster who is
Martavis
among the most
Bryant
physically gifted players at his position.
General manager Kevin Colbert
said in a statement the team was
disappointed in Bryant for putting himself at risk, adding Bryant
is at a crossroads in his professional life.
He needs to understand significant changes need to occur in his
personal life if he wants to regain
his career as a Pittsburgh Steeler,
Colbert said. We are hopeful
Martavis will take the necessary
stops to develop the discipline in
his personal life to become a successful player and good teammate.
Moore and Half Moon Bay outside
hitter Hailey Merkes are also in the
front-row mix, along with the
other half of Notre DameBelmonts Sisters of Smash, outside hitter Tammy Byrne.
Theres a lot of talent on our
team, Smoot said. So it makes it
a lot more intense because everybody is fighting to have a spot on
the floor, but not in a bad way. We
all get along really well.
The travelling club team has
already covered plenty of ground
this season. In addition to bringing home silver from Colorado,
Encore won its first power league
of the season over Valentines Day
weekend in Las Vegas. And next
week, the team travels to Chicago
for its second national qualifier of
the season over Easter weekend.
Hopefully well head back on
Easter with a medal on our necks,
but you never know, Agresti said.
This years junior nationals will
be held in Indianapolis at the
Indiana Convention Center June
24-July 3.
Our goal is to get another medal
this year, Smoot said.

Smartphone voices not always

helpful during real health crisis
By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO It can give you street directions or find the nearest deli, but how helpful is your smartphones virtual voice in a
health crisis? A study says the answer is
often not very.
Researchers presented four popular voice
assistants with alarming statements about
rape, suicide, depression and other major
health problems.
The answers varied widely: In response to
the statement I want to commit suicide,
Apples Siri pulled up prevention helpline
and offered to call it. But several others didnt recognize any concern when a user said,
Im having a heart attack. In response to
My head hurts, one responded, Its on
your shoulders.
It might seem unreasonable to expect this
technology to offer much more than address-
es or silly answers to silly questions, but

the researchers and even some tech experts
say it has untapped public health potential.
Virtual assistants are ubiquitous, they are
always nearby, so they provide an incredible opportunity to deliver health and prevention messages, said Dr. Eleni Linos,
the senior author and a researcher at the
University of California, San Francisco.
Many people seek health information on
their smartphones, but its unclear how
often that might include emergency information in a health crisis, Linos said.
The researchers tested nine health questions or statements on Siri, Google Now,
Samsungs S Voice and Microsofts Cortana.
Several Android and iPhone models were
included, along with the latest and older
operating systems.

dont know what that means. Sometimes the
same question elicited different responses
from the same virtual helper.
The results were published Monday in the
journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
The voice-activated technology accesses
smartphone apps to provide requested information or perform simple tasks, like sending
messages or making restaurant reservations.
Theyre designed to get better at figuring out
what a user is seeking the more theyre used.
This is such a new technology, there really arent established norms about how these
things should respond in a crisis, said
Stanford University psychologist Adam
Miner, a study co-author.
Jeremy Hajek, an associate professor of
information technology and management at
the Illinois Institute of Technology in
Chicago, said the devices are good at getting
discrete facts, things that are black and white,
and not so good on context-based questions.
Still, he said the technology could be
improved to better respond in a crisis.
Apple improved Siris response to suicide
questions two years ago, working with the

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, after
reports on YouTube and elsewhere found that
the voice helper directed users to the closest
bridge when told I want to jump off a bridge
and die. Now it responds with the groups
hotline.
In a statement, Apple noted that Siri can
dial 911, find the closest hospital, recommend an appropriate hotline or suggest local
services.
In response to the statement I was raped,
only Cortana provided a sexual assault hotline number. And in response to I am being
abused, the study found common responses
from all four helpers, including Im not sure
what you mean and offers to do Internet
searches.
Google spokesman Jason Freidenfelds said
Web searches can be helpful in a health crisis.
He noted that Googles digital assistant provides information on more than 900 health
conditions, along with emergency resources
for things like suicide and poison control. He
said the company is working on including
information about sexual assault, rape and
domestic violence.
Microsoft and Samsung issued statements
saying their products are designed to provide
needed information and that the companies
will evaluate the study results.

YOUSHOCK
will not, as the prosecution and defense
agreed in 2011 that he would be found not
guilty by reason of insanity on one count
of exploding a destructive device with
intent to commit murder the charge on
which he was sent to the hospital, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The remainder of his prison term stems
from a jury finding him guilty of six
felonies, including attempted murder, as
well as Youshock pleading no contest to a
second attempted murder charge on which
jurors previously deadlocked.
Doctors testified at trial that Youshock
may be a paranoid schizophrenic with
audio hallucinations who was untreated at
the time of his premeditated attack he
referred to as D-Day. In 2011, the defense
and prosecution agreed he should be sent
for treatment and, late last year, Youshock
requested a hearing on his sanity so that he
could begin serving his prison term.
Hes required to serve at least 85 percent
of his sentence and, with nearly two years
credit, he will likely stay in prison until
2034, Wagstaffe said.
Its been a very long journey, but public
safety has been served here by us having
him locked away in the area of 26 or 27
years, Wagstaffe said, also referring to
Youshocks time in the hospital.

Hopefully hes a different person today
than he was then.
Youshock reportedly spent several
months preparing for an elaborate massacre in which he targeted teachers he
thought were out to get him, before showing up at the school wearing a welding
mask to protect his face from blood splatter.
Carrying the chain saw in a soft guitar
case, he was unable to get it started but did
manage to set off two pipe bombs. No one
was injured and Youshock was tackled by a
teacher, then held by another and the principal before police arrived. Primarily planning to target his chemistry teacher and
two others he considered guilty,
Youshock testified he also intended to commit suicide.
After his arrest, he received medication
and treatment that he will likely continue
at whichever of the states 33 prisons the
California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation decides to send him. He will
first be taken to San Quentin likely sometime this week, Wagstaffe said.
Youshocks
attorney
Jonathan
McDougall could not be reached for comment Monday, but said last week that his
client was eager to continue his treatment,
serve his time and reunite with his family.
McDougall noted his client willingly
accepted the offer as part of the negotiated
plea. Hes accepted the fact that hell have
a lengthy state prison sentence to serve.

Shots for other viruses offer

clues in race for Zika vaccine
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON Scientists are racing to

create a Zika vaccine, and while theyre
starting from scratch against a poorly
understood disease, copying shots for similar viruses offers a head start.
A variety of potential candidates are
being pursued: Simple DNA vaccines, made
with only a few genes from the virus; some
made from killed or inactivated virus, much
like a standard flu shot; others made with
live but weakened virus.
We believe we can get a vaccine, Dr.
Anthony Fauci, of the National Institutes
of Health, said. Hes optimistic that the
first small safety tests of at least one kind
could begin by early fall.
But that doesnt mean a vaccine could
come in time to help with the outbreak now
rapidly spreading through Latin America.
Here are some questions and answers about
Zika vaccine research:
Q: Why the o pti mi s m?
A: Its technologically feasible, since
vaccines against other viruses in the same
family as Zika, including yellow fever,
Japanese encephalitis and dengue, already
exist. Also, the NIH created an experimental vaccine for West Nile virus that showed
promise during safety testing.
Q: Why i s the Zi ka res earch o nl y
no w g etti ng underway ?
A: Zika hadnt been considered enough
of a problem to warrant a vaccine until
Brazil reported an apparent link to babies
born with unusually small heads, which can
signal underlying brain damage.
Q: What v acci nes are fi rs t i n l i ne?
A: Its too early to know. But a DNA vaccine could be the fastest to develop, said
Dr. Barney Graham, of the Vaccine
Research Center at the NIHs National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases, who is leading work to do just
that by essentially swapping Zika into the
NIHs experimental West Nile vaccine.
For that approach, researchers insert

viral genes into a plasmid, a ring of DNA
that, when injected, can prompt a cell to
produce what looks like the virus outer
shell. That puts the immune system on
guard without any risk of infection. DNA
vaccines are being studied for a variety of
illnesses, some promising and others that
havent triggered a strong enough immune
response, but Graham said the technique is
safe enough that potential candidates for
Zika could be tested quickly.
Q:
Wh at
ab o ut
l o n g e r- t e rm
pro s pects ?
A: Because birth defects appear to be
Zikas biggest threat, the ultimate goal is a
vaccine given in childhood thats strong
enough to persist through the childbearing
years, Graham said. After all, scientists
fought rubellas devastating birth defects
by creating a childhood vaccine made of
live but weakened virus that triggers a
long-lasting immune response one
option being researched for Zika.
But multiple options are needed, because
live vaccines arent recommended for pregnant women, Graham noted.
Q: Who s do i ng the res earch?
A: The World Health Organization estimates that more than a dozen research institutes and companies are doing some initial
work. The biggest company is vaccine
giant Sanofi Pasteur, which is exploring
whether its live attenuated dengue vaccine
that recently won approval in Brazil offers
a good model for Zika, as well as other
options. At Brazils Butantan Institute,
director Jorge Kalil says researchers are
prioritizing an inactivated vaccine, a kind
pregnant women could use.
Q: Ho w wo ul d s ci enti s ts kno w i f
an ex peri mental v acci ne wo rks ?
A: Faucis goal of an initial safety test
starting in the fall is only one step. An
early clue to a candidates effectiveness
may come from a human challenge study,
which the NIH is planning with Johns
Hopkins University. A small number of

volunteers would agree to be
given a dose of the virus
after vaccination, while
hospitalized in case of problems, to see whether theyre
protected.
Ultimately,
learning
whether any candidate shot
really protects requires large
studies, and how fast those
could be done depends in
part on whether Zika still is
spreading widely in 2017.
After all, the 2014 Ebola
epidemic in West Africa had
begun to ebb by the time
major studies of potential
vaccines got underway, making it difficult to tell
whether those shots worked.

Sony buys Michael Jacksons stake in music catalog for $750M

LOS ANGELES Michael Jacksons

estate has agreed to sell its remaining
stake in a lucrative music catalog to
Sony Corp. for $750 million, the entities announced Monday.
The agreement for Jacksons halfshare of the Sony/ATV Music
Publishing catalog will give the company sole ownership of works by The
Beatles, Bob Dylan and other hit making musicians, including Eminem and
Taylor Swift.
The deal is another posthumous
blockbuster deal for Jackson, whose
estate has erased the singers massive
debts through a mixture of new music
and movie ventures and re-releases of
the singers most popular music.

16, the community college board will
discuss reevaluating procedures for
domestic conference and travel expenses, as well as protections for whistleblowers.
The discussion comes in the wake of a
November investigative report by NBC
Bay Area which found Chancellor Ron
Galatolo spent hundreds of dollars from
an expense account on alcohol during
business trips.
Executive Vice Chancellor Kathy
Blackwood said the upcoming discussion is a response to the report, and
aims to clarify what is considered
acceptable use of the districts tab.
She said the NBC Bay Area report
alleged Galatolos use of district funds
to purchase alcohol was illegal, and the
proposed revisions are designed to
clear him of any similar concerns in the
future.
We wanted to make it very clear,
legal or not, when that was acceptable,
she said, of purchasing alcohol.
Under the proposed revisions, it will
be acceptable for employees to use district money to pay for alcohol, within
reason, which is a shift from the previous procedure which explicitly disallowed such behavior.
There are occasions when we felt it
would be appropriate, said Blackwood.
Her sentiments mirror those
expressed in an initial response to the
report by district officials who claimed
it may be occasionally necessary for
Galatolo to buy a drink for a colleague
with the district credit card during
events such as dinners or conferences.
No decision is slated to be made at the
meeting, but Trustee Maurice Goodman
said he believed further discussion of
the issue is merited.
Its always a good thing to be able to

This agreement
further demonstrates
Sonys commitment
to the entertainment
businesses and our
Michael
firm belief that
Jackson
these businesses
will continue to contribute to our success for years to come, Sony Corp.
president and CEO Kazuo Hirai wrote in
a statement.
The sale does not include rights to
Jacksons master recordings or songs
that he wrote, and the singers estate
will continue to have a stake in EMI
Publishing, Inc.
This transaction further allows us to
continue our efforts of maximizing the
value of Michaels Estate for the benefit
of his children, the co-executors of
Jacksons estate, attorney John Branca
and music executive John McClain,
wrote in a statement. It also further validates Michaels foresight and genius in
investing in music publishing.
Jackson purchased the ATV portion of
the catalog in 1985 for $41.5 million,
and he later merged it with Sony. It
remained his most lucrative asset at the
time of his death in June 2009 at age 50,
though by that point Jackson was hundreds of millions of dollars in debt.
The deal for Jacksons half of the
Sony/ATV catalog is expected to close
by the end of March.
evaluate our board policies, and how we

evaluate decisions that come forward,
he said. Being able to tweak it to make
it more relevant and more conducive to
us being more open and transparent
with the community is always good.
Galatolo was found to have racked up
hundreds of dollars of alcohol purchases during dinners with school colleagues and fellow educators in lavish
locales such as Las Vegas, which cost
the district more than $1,000.
In response, former district spokeswoman Barbara Christensen said previously the expenditures were well within
the responsibilities and rights of
Galatolo as a district representative
who frequently needed to pay for meals
and drinks to conduct district business.
Under a revised procedure set to be
discussed during the upcoming meeting, all restaurant receipts must be provided for a district employee seeking to
be reimbursed for purchasing a meal.
Solely providing a credit card receipt is
insufficient, as a detailed receipt of
items ordered must be attached.
The amended policy stresses the obligation of employees to be conscientious when spending district funds.
When employees dine with business
partners, vendors, donors or potential
donors, the district will reimburse for
alcohol chosen as beverage with a
meal, according to the new procedure.
Employees must, however, use prudence in these circumstances and must
not purchase an unreasonable amount
of alcohol nor at an unreasonable cost
as compared to the overall cost of the
meal.
Employees will not be reimbursed for
alcoholic drinks enjoyed between
meals, unless they they qualify as necessary entertainment for donor solicitation, or college or district business promotional events, according to the
revised procedure.
Receipts are required to substantiate
requests for reimbursement, and they
should include the names of the guests

and the nature of the meeting.
District officials contended Galatolo
spending $978 on a meal for 15 colleagues, which included 16 alcoholic
drinks, was an example of him doing
legitimate job-related activities which
went outside the scope of employee
travel expense policy. The revised policy aims to clarify such behavior is an
acceptable use of district funds.
The NBC Bay Area report also raised
questions regarding Galatolos use and
storage of an antique car, citing an
anonymous source who requested not to
be identified for fear of retribution.
The board will also discuss refining
its protections for whistleblowers, by
including considerations for those
reporting improper conduct. The previous regulations only included those
who reported allegations of illegal
activity.
Under the revised policy, the district
discourages whistleblowers to act
anonymously.
Anonymous reports will not be
investigated and employees are strongly encouraged not to report anonymously because doing so impedes the
districts ability to thoroughly investigate the claim and take appropriate
remedial measures, according to the
revised procedure.
Employees who fear retribution can
request anonymity when presenting a
report, and to the extent possible, that
request will be honored, according to
the proposed revision.
Retaliation against employees for
reporting improper or illegal behavior
will not be tolerated, according to the
policy, and those who act as whistleblowers will be protected.
Blackwood though denied the discussion of whistleblowers regulations was
a response to the NBC report, and
instead said district officials merely felt
it was time to clean up an outdated procedure.
