Defender program fires back

Private Defender Program champions its service for criminal defendants
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateo Countys Private

Defender Program unequivocally
opposes recommendations made
in a recent report to completely
sever it from the local bar association.
The San Mateo County Bar

Association runs the unique program that provides criminal

defense for those who cannot
afford to hire their own attorney.
Most counties in the state have
public defender programs, which
is run by the county like district
attorneys offices are.
Retired judge Zerne Haning and
former county counsel Thomas

Casey evaluated the private

defender program at County
Manager John Maltbies request.
The report says the program
needs a complete revamp to avoid
possible financial and material
conflicts of interest among the
lawyers who run it.
The report also recommends that
the chief defender of the program

be hired by the county rather than

the Bar Association.
John Digiacinto is the current
executive director of the program,
who told the Daily Journal
Tuesday that he is bewildered by
the latest report considering the
last review of the program in 2012
praised it.
A five-member committee

appointed in 2012 by the County

Managers Office, which included
Supervisor Dave Pine, concluded
that the PDP was a well-managed
program and considered a model
throughout the country for providing indigent defense, according
to a response letter sent to the
county last week from the PDP.

Mills Canyon gets revamp

Unified effort credited for maintenance of open space trail in Burlingame

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The natural preserve along Mills

Canyon trail in Burlingame
received a facelift through the collaborative beautification efforts of
city officials and others.
Weeks of work refining the
secluded and narrow trail culminated Tuesday, April 19, as workers

Zum picks up riders and

drivers of failed Shuddle
Service provides on-demand rides for children
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The abrupt closure of startup

Shuddle last week has been a windfall for San Mateo-based Zum, as it
has picked up many of the drivers

San Francisco-based Shuddle

Friday and Zum has since signed up
100 of the companys former driv-

Charter seeks to join high school district

Sequoia officials identify issues with school proposed for East Palo Alto
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The proposal to launch a new charter

high school in East Palo Alto could interfere with existing Sequoia Union High
School District programs, according to a
report which also questions the feasibility
of the schools model.
The district Board of Trustees will discuss during a meeting Wednesday, April
20, the application from the Oxford Day
Academy to open its first school in 2017.
School founder Mallory Dwinal said she
believes her innovative model of curriculum is designed to resonate with students
from the East Palo Alto community, but a
district report indicates officials have
tempered enthusiasm for the proposal.
The charter schools eventual establishment could disrupt the districts new
enrollment policy, according to the
report, and questions exist regarding the
proposed implementation of the educational programming as well.
No decision is slated to be made during
the upcoming meeting regarding the proposal which was formally filed last
month, but the discussion will lay the
groundwork for a vote the board is required
to take by Wednesday, May 25.
For her part, Dwinal said she looks forward to the opportunity to have a thorough discussion regarding the merits of
her school model, and addressing the variety of issues raised by district officials.
The reason and idea for the charter is
providing a different kind of school
option that will be better for some kids,
and not better for others, she said.
The Oxford Day Academy strives to offer
students an opportunity to enhance their

critical thinking skills through real world

scenarios, with a special emphasis on
building an interest in social service,
according to Dwinal.
The district already has three charter
schools in place Everest Public High
School and Summit Preparatory Charter
High School in Redwood City and East
Palo Alto Academy.
The charter proposed to be established
in the Sequoia Union High School District
is the first of its kind, though pilot programs have been running for the past
eight months at schools in San Jose,
Mountain View in Oakland, said Dwinal.
She said the charters learning environment revolves around offering students an
opportunity to digest their core curriculum
through ideas for projects focused on
improving their local community.
For example, students interested in
broadening access to preschool in their
neighborhood will learn mathematics
through attempting to project growth
rates of their program, and English lessons will be offered in criticism of the
mock grant applications they write, said
Dwinal.
The model balances traditional high
school learning requirements, said
Dwinal, against a desire to empower students and develop their interest in social
issues.
Board President Alan Sarver said he is
impressed by the vision of the program,
but questions remain regarding the
schools ability to follow through on its
considerable promises, especially under a
limited budget.
It really appears to be absolutely every
top, creative educational initiative which
may be attempting to run on very much a
shoestring of personnel, he said. One of

Comment on

the key concerns the board will be very
interested in is the feasibility of being
able to deliver meaningfully on all this
promise within all the restraints.
Sarver though did compliment the thorough and comprehensive application
brought to the district for approval by the
charter.
It is a very, very bold, ambitious program that combines a very large number of
major initiatives in one place, he said.
The charter seeks to enroll 68 students
in its inaugural class with the intention to
eventually grow to 272 students in four
years, and 300 community members have
signed a petition in support of the school,
which Dwinal said indicates a demand outweighing the potential capacity.
District officials took issue with the
enrollment projections though, as the
report claims the schools intent to serve
students from East Palo Alto may hamper
the districts intention of building economically and socially diverse campuses.
Menlo-Atherton High School is the
campus which primarily serves students
from East Palo Alto, under recently
approved enrollment boundary shifts, and
attracting those students to a separate
school could wreak havoc on projected
demographics, according to the report.
A loss of enrollment to ODA from
Menlo-Atherton or any of the districts
other comprehensive high schools may
have the effect of reducing minority
enrollment [in], and increasing the racial
isolation of East Palo Alto students

enrolled in the districts other high

schools, said the report.
Further compounding the districts concerns, according to the report, are plans to
soon open a new, small school at 150
Jefferson Drive in Menlo Park which is
expected to serve students from East Palo
Alto as well.
Considering the variety of schools
which will be serving the targeted community, the district report questions whether
the charter will be able to hit its proposed
enrollment marks.
The report also raises issues regarding
whether the school will be adequately
staffed, as only three teachers are expected
to run the school during its first year. The
academic rigor of some of the programs
and sufficiency of facilities were questioned in the report as well.
Dwinal said she looks forward to
addressing concerns of district officials at
the upcoming meeting, in hopes of developing a working relationship in coming
years.
Im excited for the opportunity to collaborate with the district for years to come
because that is what is best for all kids,
she said.
Sarver said as the district is granted limited criteria to deny the charters application, board members are focused on assuring the proposal is in the best interest of
local students.
We need to ensure to the best of our
abilities this is something that will be
beneficial to the students and community, he said.
The Sequoia Union High School District
Board of Trustees meets 5:30 p. m. ,
Wednesday, April 20, in the district office
building, 480 James Ave., Redwood City.

New principal named

for Burlingame High School
Paul Belzer has been selected to serve as
the next principal at Burlingame High
School, under a recommendation which will
soon go before district
officials for approval.
Belzer, currently the
principal at Mills High
School, will replace former principal Di Yim,
who abruptly announced
her resignation earlier
Paul Belzer
this year in the wake of a
conflict with popular teacher Kevin Nelson.
Belzers appointment is contingent on
approval by the San Mateo Union High
School District Board of Trustees during an
upcoming meeting Thursday, April 21.
Superintendent Kevin Skelly praised
Belzer in a statement circulated to members
of the Burlingame High School community.
I have been impressed with Mr. Belzers
vision of high school life, his focus on
building a positive school culture, his work
empowering others to take ownership for
community success, and his upbeat, warm
personality, said Skelly. I believe his
skills and disposition match the characteristics parents, students and staff identified
as important in the next Burlingame principal in our input surveys and group discussions.
Belzer came to the district in 2002, as an
assistant principal at Capuchino High
School. He was hired at principal of Mills
High School four years later.
Should the board approve Belzers
appointment, he would assume his new
position in July.

Bicyclist, 85, in collision

The 85-year-old man was riding a recumbent bicycle. After the collision, he was
taken to Stanford Hospital with injuries not
considered life-threatening, according to
Burlingame police Sgt. Jim Ford.
Alcohol was not a factor in the collision,
Ford said.
Recology spokesman Eric Potashner confirmed the involved truck was a Recology
truck.
Burlingame police are still trying to determine what happened and are interviewing
witnesses. Anyone with information about
the collision has been asked to contact Ford

Man who died after

hit-and-run was Pacifica resident
A 58-year-old driver who died after a hitand-run collision on Highway 101 earlier
this month in Redwood City has been identified as Pacifica resident Michael OBrien,
according to the Santa Clara County medical
examiners office.
The California Highway Patrol is asking
for the publics help to find the driver who
fled after the April 6 collision on Highway
101 just south of Woodside Road.
The vehicle was described as a light brown
minivan with the partial plate 4AYY---,
CHP Officer Art Montiel said.
Around 1 p.m., the suspect vehicle, initially described as a 2000 light brown
Toyota Sienna, allegedly clipped a 2006 silver Scion driven by OBrien, according to
the CHP.
OBrien, who the CHP initially said was a
New Hampshire resident, then lost control
of his car, causing it to strike the center
divider and roll over.
Although OBrien had his seat belt on, he
suffered major injuries and was taken to
Stanford Hospital, where he died around
1:50 p.m., CHP officials said.
Witnesses said the minivan was speeding
at the time of the collision. No other vehicles were involved in the collision and no
other passengers were in the Scion, according to the CHP.

SAN FRANCISCO California homes

notched increases in sales and price in
March, hitting a $415,000 median last
reached during 2015s strong summer market.
Research firm CoreLogic Inc. reported
Tuesday that the statewide median price was
up 5.1 percent from the previous March.
Prices have risen from year-ago levels for
49 straight months.
The firm also reported that 38,215 new
and existing houses and condos closed
escrow in March, up 2.3 percent from the
previous year. Its the highest for a March in
three years, but still below the historic average of about 45,000 for the month.
Sales were up more than 30 percent from
February, which is expected as March traditionally launches the home buying and selling season. The number of homes available
tends to hit its peak by Memorial Day.

But in the nine-county San Francisco Bay
Area, sales slipped 2.9 percent to 6,754 and
the 1.4 percent increase in median price to

This suggests that despite the improved
economy and still-low mortgage rates,
many would-be buyers continue to face hurdles such as waning affordability, moderately tight credit and a relatively slim inventory of homes for sale in many communities,
said Andrew LePage, a research analyst with
CoreLogic.
Sales in more affordable pockets of the

Contra Costa counties, as residents search
for cheaper housing away from San

Court overturns Virginia
schools transgender bathroom rule
RICHMOND, Va. A Virginia high
school discriminated against a transgender
teen by forbidding him from using the boys
restroom, a federal appeals court ruled
Tuesday in a case that could have implications for a North Carolina law that critics
say discriminates against LGBT people.
The case of Gavin Grimm has been especially closely watched since North Carolina
enacted a law last month that bans transgender people from using public restrooms that
correspond to their gender identity. That law
also bans cities from passing anti-discrimination ordinances, a response to an ordinance recently passed in Charlotte.

Trump, Clinton win big in New York

By Julie Pace and Jonathan Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Front-runners Donald

Trump and Hillary Clinton swept to
resounding victories in Tuesdays New York
primary, with Trump bouncing back from a
difficult stretch in his Republican campaign and Clinton pushing tantalizingly
close to locking up the Democratic nomination.
The race for the nomination is in the
home stretch, and victory is in sight,
Clinton declared to cheering supporters.
Trump captured more than 50 percent of
the vote in New York and was headed toward
a big delegate haul in his home state, a
commanding showing that keeps him on a
path to the GOP nomination if he continues
to win. He claimed at least half of the 95
delegates at stake Tuesday, and was likely to
add to his tally in individual congressional
districts.
A confident Trump insisted it was impossible for his rivals to catch him.
We dont have much of a race anymore,
he said during a victory rally in the lobby
of the Manhattan tower bearing his name.
He peppered his brash remarks with more
references to the economy and other policy
proposals than normal, reflecting the influence of a new team of advisers seeking to
professionalize his campaign.
Clintons triumph padded her delegate
lead over rival Bernie Sanders and strengthened her claim to the Democratic nomination that eluded her eight years ago. In a

shift toward the general

election, she made a
direct appeal to Sanders
loyal supporters, telling
them she believes there
is more that unites us
than divides us.
With 247 delegates at
stake, Clinton picked up
Bernie Sanders at least 104 while
Sanders gained at least
85. Many remained to be
allocated, pending final
vote tallies
Sanders

has across the country,

said in an interview with the Associated
Press. We have come a very long way in
the last 11 months, and we are going to
fight this out until the end of the process.
The fight for New Yorks delegate haul
consumed the presidential contenders for
two weeks, an eternity in the fast-moving
White House race. Candidates blanketed
every corner of New York, bidding for votes
from Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs to the working class cities and rural
enclaves that dot the rest of the state.

Senate takes up energy bill

after two-month Flint delay
By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate on Tuesday

revived a bill that would promote a variety of
energy sources, from renewables such as
solar and wind power to natural gas,
hydropower and geothermal energy.
The bill also would speed federal approval
of projects to export liquefied natural gas to
Europe and Asia, update building codes to
increase efficiency and strengthen electricgrid safety standards among dozens of provisions.
Senate passage is expected as soon as
Wednesday. The measure must be reconciled
with a House-passed bill that boosts oil and

natural gas and speeds completion of environmental reviews for a proposed coal export
terminal in Washington state. President
Barack Obama has threatened to veto the
House measure.
If approved by both chambers and signed
by Obama, the bill would be first far-reaching
energy law in nearly a decade.
Moving forward with this act will help
America produce more energy and bring us
one step closer to being an energy superpower, said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska,
chairwoman of the Senate Energy and Natural
Resources Committee and one of the bills
co-sponsors. At the same time, it will help
Americans save more money and save energy
with all of the energy-policy provisions.

Sending more U.S. troops to

Iraq fits a two-year pattern

Senate passes bill that would

boost security at the airport
By Joan Lowy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate

approved a bipartisan aviation
policy bill Tuesday that would
boost airport security, extend new
protections to airline passengers
and help speed the introduction of
package-delivery drones.
The bill, passed on a vote of 953, would also extend the Federal
Aviation Administrations programs and powers through Oct. 1,
2017. That authority is due to
expire July 15.
A few hours before the vote,
Majority
Leader
Mitch

McConnell, R-Ky., said the legislation will make important

strides for our national security
and for travelers. It does so without increasing fees or taxes on
passengers. It does so without
imposing heavy-handed regulations that can stifle consumers
choice.
The House, bogged down in a
dispute over whether to privatize
air traffic control operations, must
still act. Airlines have been pressing for privatization, arguing that
the FAAs culture is too slow and
inflexible to finish the air traffic
systems transition from old radar
technology to satellites.

Man pulled from Ecuadorean

rubble, wont need coffin wife got
By Critian Kovadloff
and Allen Panchana
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORTOVIEJO,
Ecuador

Despite the grief roiling this earthquake-stricken

town,
Pablo
Cordova has something to be
thankful for: He can return the coffin his wife had obtained for his
funeral.
The 51-year-old hotel administrator was one of a trickle of survivors pulled from the rubble after
Ecuadors strongest earthquake in
decades flattened towns along the
coast and killed more than 500
people.
Cordovas wife had given up on
ever seeing him again after the
five-story Gato de Portoviejo
hotel collapsed on him Saturday
night, pancaked by the magnitude-7.8 earthquake like the rest
of downtown. She asked his boss

to buy his casket.

But Cordova held out for 36
hours beneath the rubble, drinking his own urine and praying
service would be restored before
his cellphone battery died. He
was finally able to call his wife
on Monday afternoon, and was
pulled from the wreckage soon
after by a team of rescuers from
Colombia.
They were organizing the
funeral, but Ive been reborn,
Cordova said, grinning from
beneath his bushy mustache in a
provincial hospital. I will have
to give that coffin back because I
still have a long way to go before
I die.
On Tuesday, teams from all over
the world fanned out across the
countrys Pacific coastline to look
for the dozens of people still missing. Residents joined in with their
bare hands, increasingly desperate

as the clock for finding survivors

runs down.
Since Saturday, when this country started shaking, Ive slept only
two hours and havent stopped
working, said Juan Carranza, one
of the firefighters leading the rescue effort in Portoviejo.
In the port city of Manta, a group
of about 50 rescuers working with
trained dogs, hydraulic jacks and a
drill managed to free eight people
trapped for more than 32 hours in
the rubble of a shopping center
that was flattened by Saturday
nights quake.
While the country cheered videos
of such rescues, tragedy continued
to mount.
At the same shopping center,
authorities were working to free a
woman they had found buried alive
with a heavy concrete slab pinning
her legs when an aftershock forced
them to suspend the effort.

Barack Obamas decision to send
still more American troops to Iraq,
and to put military advisers closer

after the Islamic State overran

Swimming in a tsunami

Improving the transition from high school

By Kevin Skelly and Ron Galatolo

he College of San Mateo and

the San Mateo Community
College District came into
being more than 90 years ago as an
outgrowth of the San Mateo Union
High School District. Thus began a
partnership to serve young adults in
our communities. Today, almost half
the high school graduates from the
school district continue their postsecondary studies at one or more of
the community college districts
campuses. We are working hard to
make this vital partnership stronger
in important ways.
First, we are working to find ways
to make the journey from high
school to community college simpler. The transition from high
school to community college takes
place at the most difficult, challenging time in a young persons life.
When so much is changing, students
need clear paths, quality information
and simplicity to make the transition
successful. The high school districts
schools are now sponsoring tours,
during class time, for students to
visit campuses, register for classes
and orient themselves to the college
campuses. And college staff is spending more time on our campuses helping their future students.
Far too many high school students
start their postsecondary classes in
remedial classes. In our work together, we have devised multiple measures of high school student success
with the goal that all of the high
school districts students can take
unit-generating classes their first day
on a community college district campus. The college district is testing
ways to make classes of varying
length to account for differences in
academic preparation. For example,
less-prepared students would have
freshmen English classes of five
units, while their more prepared
counterparts would take a three-unit
course.

At the high
school level, the
high school district team is articulating with the
college districts
math departments
to create classes
on our campuses
Kevin Skelly for seniors that
allow them to
immediately enter
college courses.
Studies repeatedly
show that students
who take math during their senior
year of high
school are much
more successful in
Ron Galatolo college, and we
believe this is particularly true if their math courses are
closely tethered to future college
math expectations.
A little known fact about community college enrollment is that it is
inversely related to the economic climate; students are less likely to go
to college when jobs are plentiful.
For our high school students from
modest means, the chance to earn
even minimum wage to help support
ones family is alluring. Further, in
our tight job market, employers of
low-wage workers want employees to
put in long hours to fill shifts. Both
these forces crowd out college studies
and, we believe, can also deprive students of the opportunities down the
line to earn a middle-class income.
Experience has taught us that if
you havent invested in education
and skill building by your mid-20s,
it becomes progressively more difficult. For this reason, the college district is finding ways to provide a
tuition free experience for its students from the most modest means. It
isnt easy to be young, burdened by
family responsibilities, and lacking
the luxury to take the long view.
We need to be a community that
helps young people see the value of

Guest
perspective
learning during their prime educational years.
The high school and community
college districts are also exploring
ways we can encourage more students
to get a jump on college while they
are in high school. We believe that a
student who finishes high school
with six to 12 college units completed is much more likely to attend and
complete the 60 college units community college requires for a degree.
And college study is free when you
are a high school student. Given the
astronomical cost of college, an
early start on college may be the
best thing educators can do to help
control college costs.
The high school district has a relatively small middle college program that allows high school juniors
and seniors to finish high school on
the college campuses while beginning their post-secondary studies we
are anxious to expand. Typically,
these students finish a year of college by the time they graduate from
high school.
In todays society, we live in a
time when there are a seemingly infinite number of ways to improve the
educational experiences and, through
this work, the economic fortunes of
our communitys young people. Our
hope is that through more collaborative, cooperative work between our
two organizations we can do much
that will help send students on their
way to a bright future.

District, a position he began in 2015.

n the blink of an evolutionary eye, we have

gone from eating natural nutrient dense foods to
factory processed nutritionally decient products
that have little resemblance to anything found in nature.
Michele Simon, Appetite for Prot.
I have it in for any corporation that produces a product
that is detrimental to health, advertises it extensively and,
when sales go down in one country where some people are
on to them, goes to other nations to push their poison.
There has to be no semblance of conscience among the
executives in charge who will go to any lengths to maximize their prots. Such is the case with the many highly
sweetened, nutritionless beverages available just about
everywhere. Today, Im concentrating on the purveyors of
possibly the most blatant example of the above The
Coca-Cola Company.
As reported in much of the
media lately, the incidence
of diabetes has increased
greatly over the past few
decades not only among
adults, but also among children. High sugar diets
especially those that include
many soft drinks have
been found to be responsible for a great deal of the
problem. What Michael
Jacobson wrote in
Nutrition Action Health
Letter, the publication of
The Center for Science in the Public Interest is startling:
Because per capita consumption has plummeted by more
than 33 percent since 1998 in the United States and is sliding in Europe, the company is doubling down on selling its
sugar water in highly populated low- and middle-income
countries.
The Coca-Cola Corporation is taking advantage of people all over the world by marshalling teams of sophisticated ad creators, digital marketers and psychologists to
design the most seductive ads possible to persuade teens
and others to drink beverages that increase the risk of deadly chronic diseases. As one marketing expert bragged:
We have young generations who can consume any kind of
food and beverage, (theyre) not caring about their health
yet.
In a recent newspaper article, Dr. San Schillinger stated
that diabetes has become a new silent epidemic. He
warns: I like to say were in a public health war on the
home front that nobodys talking about. Especially those
who do not read newspapers or watch related reports on TV,
need to be educated about the damage to health that consuming nutritionless, highly-sweetened products can cause.
Youd think that an increased tax on such products would
be supported everywhere, but the industry spends millions
to ght it and in the process promoting their products
wherever they think that people will fall for their hype. As
Jacobson wrote: I nd it immoral that a company would
use its billion-dollar war chest to carpet-bomb developing
countries with propaganda that its executives must know
will increase health problems.
One step in the right direction: The city of San Francisco
has been trying to counteract the industry by enforcing a
law (the rst such law in the nation) that would require a
warning label on ads for sugary drinks. But, of course, the
soda industry is desperately attempting to defeat the measure which the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved
and is slated to go into effect July 25. In its effort to distract the public, the industry touts the following (among
other lies): Sodas are no more damaging to health than
cheeseburgers or pizza. Really? At least, when someone
eats a burger or a slice of pizza, they are consuming some
nutrients like protein from the meat or cheese and at least a
few vitamins and minerals from the other ingredients.
Sodas and other sugar-laden drinks offer no nutritional
value only the insult of an overdose of sweeteners. A
single 20-ounce bottle of soda is reported to contain more
sugar than the FDA recommends as the maximum consumed
in a day.
Of course, the epidemic of diabetes will not decrease
appreciably until more consumers wake up, become educated about nutrition and value their own lives enough to
eschew such products that contribute to ill health. In the
meantime, various facets of the food industry are beginning
to tweak some of their products to give us the impression
that they are concerned about our health. No doubt, theyre
hoping that this will placate consumers enough to prevent
any wholesale shift to healthier products and organic foods.
Its outrageous that free enterprise can be taken to such an
extreme that it damages the health of consumers in our
country and throughout the world. The Coca-Cola Company
is just one egregious example of how insidious corporate
interests are increasingly impacting our lives and how
the results can be disastrous.
Eating in America is like swimming in a tsunami. The
best of intentions get pulled under by massive forces.

Stocks close mostly higher; oil rebounds

By Alex Veiga

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. stocks closed mostly higher on Tuesday, led by gains in

energy, mining and financial companies.
The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poors 500
index eked out small gains. The
tech-heavy Nasdaq composite
closed modestly lower, reflecting
a slump in technology stocks,
which were dragged down by
Netflix and IBM.
The gains in energy and mining
companies came as prices for oil,
copper and other basic materials
rose.
Investors were mostly focused
on the latest batch of corporate
earnings and on what company
managers have to say about their
prospects for growing profits this
year.
The market is focused on where
we are going to be three months
from now, five months from now,
said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial. Its
all about the guidance, and its
also all about what companies are
doing to beat on the bottom line.
The Dow rose 49.44 points, or

All of the earnings growth this
year is expected to come in the

Gibbs, equity chief investment
officer at S&P Global Market
Intelligence.
Several companies delivered
quarterly results that put investors
in a buying mood Tuesday.
Johnson & Johnson gained 1.6
percent after its first-quarter earnings beat Wall Streets expectations. Higher sales of new prescription drugs and other key med-

icines nearly offset a big hit from

the strong dollar. The stock added
$1.75 to $112.68.
UnitedHealth Group added 2.1
percent after it reported strong
results for the first quarter and
raised its guidance for the year.
The health insurer also said it
would cut back on participating in
Affordable Care Act health care
exchanges in a bid to stem losses
related to the program. The stock
gained $2.69 to $130.50.
Goldman Sachs latest results
also gave the investment banks

shares a lift. Goldmans earnings

beat Wall Streets estimates, even
though its profit sank by 56 percent from a year earlier. The stock
rose $3.63, or 2.3 percent, to
$162.65.
Kansas City Southern gained
4.6 percent after the railroad operator posted larger-than-expected
quarterly earnings. The stock
climbed $4.55 to $96.02.
Some companies quarterly
snapshots and outlooks failed to
impress traders.
Netflix slumped 13 percent, a
day after the streaming video company gave a disappointing forecast for subscriber additions and
reported first-quarter revenue that
fell short of financial analysts
forecasts. The stock lost $14.06
to $94.34.
IBM delivered improved firstquarter earnings thanks to a big
tax refund, but also had lower revenue amid weaker software sales.
The stock slid $8.53, or 5.6 percent, to $144.
Illumina sank 23.2 percent after
the genetic testing tools maker
predicted that sales in the first
quarter will be far lower than analysts expected. Illumina shares
were down $41.25 at $136.88.

Yahoos deterioration accelerates ahead of a possible sale

By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo may

have hung out a for sale sign, but
it hasnt done much to improve its
curb appeal.
On Tuesday, the company posted
a first quarter loss on a sharp drop in
net revenue, a figure that subtracts
ad commissions from total
turnover. Yahoos net revenue fell
18 percent from year-earlier period
to $859 million. Its the largest
decline in Yahoos quarterly net revenue since the company hired

Marissa Mayer
as its CEO nearly four years
ago.
The company
expects an even
bigger net revenue drop of 20
percent in the
Marissa Mayer quarter ending
in June.
Yahoo lost $99 million during
the first quarter, compared to a $21
million profit last year. A big
chunk of the loss stemmed from the
cost of laying off about 1,000

workers during the quarter, a cut that

chopped the companys workforce
to 9,400 employees as of March.
That purge was part of a cost-cutting plan drawn up by Mayer that
includes closing some of the
unprofitable services started up
under her reign.
Investors, however, are much
more focused on whether the company is going to sell the bulk of its
operations or not. The Sunnyvale
company announced two months
ago that its considering the sale of
part or all of its Internet business
instead of sticking with Mayers

Intel to cut 12,000 jobs as

it confronts decline in PCs
SAN FRANCISCO Intel is cutting
12,000 jobs about 11 percent of its
workforce as it reorganizes to confront a decline in sales of personal
computers.
The giant chipmaker made the
announcement Tuesday as it reported
lower-than-expected sales for the first
quarter. This as industry analysts say
an extended slide in global PC sales is
showing no signs of leveling off.
Intel, which has long been the
worlds leading maker of PC chips, is
now trying to expand into other types
of computing.
Its time to make this transition,
CEO Brian Krzanich told analysts.
While calling the job cuts difficult,
he said they would help the company
sharpen its focus in new areas.
The latest cuts follow an earlier
reduction of about 5, 000 jobs
announced by Intel in 2014, and analysts say they may not be the last.

Blood-testing startup Theranos

says it is being investigated
NEW YORK Troubled blood-testing startup Theranos acknowledged

Serra swings into first

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Tuesdays battle for first place in the West

Catholic Athletic League at Frisella Field
saw Serra erupt for its biggest comeback of
the year.
The Padres (6-2 in WCAL, 15-4-1 overall) came roaring back to score a critical 76 come-from-behind victory over the Bells
(5-3, 14-6). With both teams entering play
tied atop the WCAL standings, Serra takes
over outright possession of first place.
If we want to be a great team, Serra
manager Craig Gianinno said, and a championship team, which I think these guys
are capable of being and theyre on their
way, hopefully, to being they keep
[momentum] for a majority of the game and
they find ways to get it back in a heartbeat.
Thats precisely what the Padres did.
Trailing 4-0 in the fifth, Serra sent 13 batters to the plate in the bottom of the
inning, rallying for seven runs to take the
lead.
No. 9 hitter Kyle Roux started the rally,
working an eight-pitch at-bat for a walk.
Roux was the first of eight straight Padres
to reach base, with senior Ryan Sambel
roasting an RBI double to left to score
Angelo Bortolin with the tying run. Senior
designated hitter James Halpin followed
with a long RBI double to right-center to
plate Sambel with the go-ahead run.
The left-handed hitting Halpin has platooned at DH this season against righthanded pitchers, but has seen plenty of
pinch-hitting opportunities late in games.
This year has been all pressure, whether
Im starting or coming in late where I needed to help my team in that particular situation, Halpin said.
And Tuesday he rose to the occasion.
Halpin had struck out in his previous two
at-bats against Bellarmine starting pitcher
Kyle Dean. So, in facing the Bells second

No damage found in Curry MRI

OAKLAND Stephen Currys

troublesome right ankle has no
serious structural damage.
The reigning NBA MVP underwent an MRI exam on his injured
right ankle Tuesday in the Bay
Area, and the Golden State Warriors
said nothing of concern came up on
the test. Curry remained questionable for Game 3 of his teams playoff series on Thursday in Houston.
Curry missed Monday nights
115-106 victory against the
Rockets at Oracle Arena after cutting short his warmup routine
because his troublesome ankle was
tender. He will continue to undergo
treatment for the injury ahead of
Thursday, and coach Steve Kerr
mentioned there is ample time for
Curry to try to get healthy and stay
off his feet.
Well see how he responds the
next couple of days, and if hes not
right obviously being up 2-0 does
give us more cushion if we decide to
sit him, Kerr said after Mondays

game. But it
will be based on
his health, not
the series score.
Its really what
the
training
staff says and
what Steph says
about how hes
Steph Curry feeling.
To p - s e e de d
Golden State leads the best-ofseven series 2-0 as it shifts to
Houston for the next two
matchups. The Warriors had the day
off from practice Tuesday ahead of
their flight to Houston on
Wednesday.
The news about Currys MRI was
huge given the superstar point
guard had two surgeries on that
ankle in 2011-12. He averaged a
league-leading 30.1 points per
game this season and does so many
other things to make his teammates better and set them up to
score.
When Steph goes down, thats
obviously not easy to replace, so
not one guys going to come out

Even if a guy comes out and gets

Obviously when you lose the
MVP youve got concern, but we

Stephen Curry, who sat out Monday

We gave up too many offensive
rebounds, to a really good 3-point

Breakdowns. Missed shots.

must get back to fundamentals to get
back into these playoffs against a
Golden State team ready to ride the
momentum of its record 73 wins all

struggled to establish himself inside

Andrew Bogut, Festus Ezeli and even

SOFTBALL
Continued from page 11
Half Moon Bay (7-0 PAL Bay, 13-1 overall)
did to Carlmont (5-2, 17-2) what the Scots
usually do to everyone else: batter the opposition into submission. The Cougars banged
out 12 hits and had a total of 15 base runners.
Senior third baseman Angela Brazil and junior
first baseman Ally Sarabia paced the Cougars
attack by driving in three runs apiece. Abby
Donovan had three hits at the top of the lineup, scoring twice. Lily Moffitt also came
through with a pair of hits and scored three
times.
We were at a tournament and we all looked
at the rankings and saw Carlmont was ahead of
us, Brazil said. We said, we have to beat
them.
The Cougars wasted little time in doing just
that, jumping on Carlmont starting pitcher
Abby Lan for five hits and three runs in the
first inning. The first five batters of the game
all got hits for Half Moon Bay.
We know when we attack early in the game,
the momentum will be in our favor,
Reitmann-Grout said. We knew we wanted to

SPORTS
be aggressive. That was our plan and we executed.
With Donovan and Moffitt on base with a
single to left and infield hit, respectively,
Sarabia came up and smacked a run-scoring
double to the gap in left-center field. Brazil
followed with a two-run double to the gap in
right-center field.
The most impressive part of the inning was
the fact that four of the five Cougar hits came
on two-strike counts.
We play a game called clutch (in practice), Brazil said. It starts with a runner on
second and then we play around with the
count. It shows in the game when we play well
in practice.
Reitmann-Grout said Mondays practice was
the best of the season thus far.
Monday we had the most focused practice
of the season, Reitmann-Grout said. We
came here and played clutch.
The offensive uprising proved to be enough
for Half Moon Bay pitcher Grace Garcia, who,
despite have the talent to overwhelm teams,
had to work to put the Scots away. She pitched
a complete game, scattering seven hits and
giving up two runs, only one of which was
earned.
Garcia cruised through the first two innings
before the Carlmont bats started to come

alive. In the third, fourth and fifth innings,

the first two Scots batters of each inning
reached base, but Garcia did well to limit the
damage. The Scots scratched a run across in
the third inning, with a Kelsey Ching fly to
left driving in Lan, who had led off the inning
with a double.
But Garcia got out of the jam.
In the fourth, the Scots loaded the bases
with one out and this time came up empty as
Garcia got one of her five strikeouts and a flyout to end the inning with the bases juiced.
Jacy Phipps singled to lead off the fifth for
the Scots and Ching reached on an error but,
once again, Garcia, with help from her
defense, got out of the inning unscathed.
I dont think we came ready to play,
Liggett said. The last four or five innings, we
swung the bats well. But give [Garcia] credit,
she pitched well.
After the rocky start, Lan settled down and
kept the Cougars in check in the second and
third innings before they got to her for two
more runs in the top of the fourth. Olivia
Hedding led off the inning with a single and,
after two outs, Moffitt singled to left. Sarabia
followed and drove in a run when her bloop
over the shortstop fell into no-mans land
between the shortstop, the left fielder and the
center fielder. Brazil then came up and drove a

THE DAILY JOURNAL

single to left to drive in Moffitt for a 5-1 Half
Moon Bay lead.
The Cougars tacked on two more runs in the
sixth against a Carlmont reliever, both
unearned. Donovan led off the inning by ripping a double to right and came all the way
around to score when Moffitts drive to left
was dropped by the left fielder and the throw
back to the infield got away from the shortstop. Sarabia followed with a sacrifice fly to
plate Moffitt, who went all the way to third on
the errors.
Carlmont got its second run in the seventh,
with Cam Kondo driving a double to the fence
in left to drive in Ching, who had walked just
ahead of her.
Despite the big win, the Cougars know their
work is not done. They still have a rematch
with the Scots later in the season. But
Tuesdays win definitely gives Half Moon Bay
confidence going forward.
It was big for us. It felt really good,
Brazil said, who said winning the first game
of the series sends a message to the Scots.
Its important. It shows were capable of
beating them.

Oakland beats Yankees in 11 innings

NEW YORK Jed Lowrie tied his career

inning and scoring the go-ahead run on Mark
Canhas single to lead the Oakland Athletics
over the New York Yankees 3-2 on Tuesday
night.
After two more scoreless innings from the
Yankees dynamic duo of Dellin Betances and
Andrew Miller, rookie Johnny Barbato (1-1)
pitched a perfect 10th.
Lowrie doubled into the right-field corner
against Barbato with one out in the 11th, then
took third on a groundout by Khris Davis,
who had struck out in his previous three atbats. Canha singled off the glove of a diving

Didi Gregorius at shortstop and into left field for

Cain doomed by 5th again as Giants drop third straight

By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cains night

went bad quickly in the fifth inning, a recurring theme for the Giants pitcher so far this
season. It wasnt much better for San
Franciscos offense, either.
Cain battled early control problems then
gave up five hits and three runs in the fifth,
while the Giants managed just six hits and
were shut out for the first time this season in a
3-0 loss to the Diamondbacks Tuesday night.
I just seem to be making mistakes in that
fifth inning and it keeps getting me, said
Cain, who walked four and struck out two. I
just didnt manage the inning right. I think we
had the right idea of what we wanted to do. I

just didnt execute some of

the right pitches.
In three starts, Cain has
allowed 11 runs over 15
1/3 innings this season.
All 11 runs have come in
the fifth inning three
by the Diamondbacks, six
by the Rockies on April
14 and two by the
Matt Cain
Dodgers on April 8.
The three-time All-Star walked four in the
first four innings but didnt allow a hit until
Chris Owings leadoff double in the fifth. Six
batters, four hits and three runs later, Cains
night was over.
He was really throwing the ball so well,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. He just

lost his good command. His pitches were

going back over the middle. He lost it there
and we had to go get him.
Robbie Ray pitched six scoreless innings
and Jake Lamb continued to slug against the
Giants by tripling home a run. Jean Segura and
Paul Goldschmidt also drove in runs for the
Diamondbacks, who won their fourth in five
games and have taken 10 of 12 at AT&T Park.
Ray (1-0) retired eight of nine during one
stretch and gave up five hits. He matched
his career high with eight strikeouts and
walked two.
Matt Duffy had two hits for the Giants, who
have lost six of seven after winning six of
their first eight. He entered the contest hitless
in 13 at-bats and 2 for 24 over his previous
seven games.

Danny Valencia tripled off the glove of diving left fielder Brett Gardner leading off the
sixth and scored on Lowries one-out single
through the drawn-in infield. Marc
Rzepczynski entered with two on and two outs
in the bottom half, started Gardner with a wild
pitch that advanced both runners and retired
him on a lineout to first.
Chase Headley singled off the glove of a
diving Semien, who was shifted to the right
side, leading off the ninth, but Gregorius
fouled off a pair of bunts before flying out and
pinch-runner Jacoby Ellsbury was caught
stealing by catcher Stephen Vogt. Ellsbury did
not start against the left-hander after four
defensive mistakes in center field during the
first two weeks of the season.

Baseball briefs
Menlo Knights explode for 15 runs
Menlo School (6-2 in Ocean, 13-4 overall)
erupted for a 16-4 win Tuesday at El Camino

David Farnham blasting two home runs and
totaling six RBIs. Davis Rich went 4 for 4
with five RBIs. Chandler Yu fired four shutout
innings to earn the win. His record is 6-1.

Another W for Skylines Madigan

Daniel Madigan worked eight innings
Tuesday to lead Skyline to a 5-3 win over
Hartnell (2-12 in Coast Pacific, 11-21
overall). His record improves to 5-1. The

Campaign aimed at dipping by rural teens

By Matthew Perrone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Government health

officials will team up with minor league
baseball as part of a new $36 million
campaign to discourage rural teenagers
from using chewing tobacco.
Baseball stadiums will feature the campaigns central message this summer
smokeless doesnt mean harmless
via advertising and promotions with
players. Ads will also run on local television, radio and online in 35 markets
across the U.S., including cities in
Michigan, Montana, South Carolina and
Tennessee.
The Food and Drug Administration
says its latest effort targets white, rural
males who are more likely to use dip,
chew and other smokeless tobacco products. Roughly 32 percent of rural males
ages 12 to 17, or roughly 629,000
Americans, are at-risk for using chewing
tobacco, according to the agency.
FDAs Mitch Zeller, director of the
agencys tobacco program, said smoke-

less tobacco is culturally ingrained in
many rural communities as a rite of passage.
Often male teenagers in rural communities are accustomed to seeing smokeless tobacco use among role models,
such as their fathers and grandfathers,
older brothers and community leaders,
he told reporters.
Zeller, who oversaw the anti-tobacco
Truth campaign while working at the
nonprofit American Legacy Foundation
in the early 2000s, said many young
people dont understand the health effects
of smokeless tobacco. The new campaign is the first FDA effort to focus on
those risks, including gum disease, tooth
loss and multiple forms of cancer. The
FDA is reaching out to Major League
Baseball on similar collaborations,
agency officials said.

The government effort comes as leading tobacco companies increase their

focus on snuff, chewing tobacco and
electronic cigarettes amid tax hikes,
smoking bans, health concerns and
social stigma that continue to erode cigarette sales.
Last October the FDA launched a $128
million campaign using hip-hop music
and culture to try and educate African
American and other urban minority youth
groups about smoking risks.
Tobacco companies are footing the
bill for the campaigns through fees
charged by the FDA under a 2009 law that
created the agencys tobacco center.
Among other powers, the FDA can
restrict marketing of tobacco products to
young people and gives the agency
authority to evaluate the health risks of
new tobacco products before they launch.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

RIO
Continued from page 11
The comments followed complaints raised by the gymnastics
federation, known as FIG, which is
holding its artistic gymnastics test
event at Rio Olympic Arena this
week.
FIG official Ron Froehlich cited
power outages lasting from 15 to 90
minutes, putting at risk athletes
safety and the scoring system, plus
missing equipment at an underfunded temporary training venue.
Most important, they have
problems with regard to the Omega
(scoring) system, Froehlich said.
Furthermore, power outages while
the athletes were performing, which
is a very serious issue.
The absence of flooring at a temporary training center venue was
due to lack of funding, he said.
Earlier, ASOIF director general
Andrew Ryan disclosed that two
senior IOC officials will travel to
Rio soon to work more closely on
preparations.
Christophe Dubi, the Olympic
Games executive director, and
sports director Kit McConnell are
moving permanently to the host
city, Ryan said.
The IOC said Dubi and McConnell
would spend more time in Rio but
would not live there full time.
Dubis predecessor, Gilbert Felli,
was assigned to work there with
local organizers two years ago amid
growing concerns about Rios
readiness.
In a later speech to SportAccord
delegates, Bach thanked Olympic
sports bodies for supporting Rio
organizers, even in challenging
circumstances in Brazil.
If everyone plays their part and
continues to show this kind of solidarity I am confident these games
will be a great success, Bach said.
We are all in this together.
Guimaraes also addressed longstanding problems of water pollution and floating garbage in Rio,
and the possibility of officials
accommodation including a
Trump hotel not being ready,
before giving further assurances.
The athletes will be happy with
the results they we have achieved,
he said. You and your federations
will be happy with the level of service that we will provide to you.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Feldstein powers Caada with three HRs Serra pays tribute

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Isaac Feldstein entered play Tuesday one

home run up on the Northern California community college leaderboard. With three big
swings of the bat Tuesday in Caadas 15-9
win at Gavilan, the sophomore slugger now
has plenty of breathing room in the race for
the Nor Cal home run crown.
Feldstein homered three times and totaled
eight RBIs for the Colts (10-3 in Coast
Pacific, 14-15 overall), the first time in his
life he has ever tabbed a three-home run game.
His previous best came as a senior at Palo
Alto High School when he homered twice at
home against Saratoga.
Ive never hit three in a game before,
Feldstein said. It was pretty exciting.
Every one of Feldsteins home runs meant
something in a wild day of offense at Gavilan
(3-11, 11-21). The Colts led 7-0 by the middle of the second inning, but Gavilan rallied
back to tie it 9-9 by the bottom of the seventh. Caada then scored one in the top of the
eighth to take the lead and added five in the
ninth including Feldsteins third bomb of
the day to put it away.
It was crazy, Feldstein said. We put up a
few runs at the beginning of the game and I
think we thought we had it in the bag. Then
they started scoring like two runs in every
inning.
After the Colts scored four in the first
inning, Feldstein notched his first homer of

SERRA
Continued from page 11
right-hander Wes Harper just into the game,
Halpin didnt wait around, stroking a 1-0
fastball up the gap.
I wasnt going to let it get to two strikes
again, Halpin said. I was ready to swing
first pitch and try to jump on it. And then I
got the fastball I was looking for and
from there I tried to put a good swing on it
and it worked out in the end.
Serra rallied for two insurance runs in the
frame on RBI singles by Jack Mori and
Tyler Villaroman. The insurance runs were
put to good use as Bellarmine scored two in
the top of the sixth to make it a one-run
game.
But relief pitcher Chris Apecechea was
able to escape the jam, stranding the tying
run at third base. The senior right-hander
worked 2 2/3 innings to earn the win,
improving his record to 4-1.
Roux in his first season as the starting
varsity second baseman, after playing on

the day in the second.

With two runners one, he
got an outside slider and
sent it towering over the
left-field wall.
The wind was blowing
out but it didnt matter if
the wind was blowing out,
Caada manager Tony
Isaac Feldstein Lucca said. That one was
going out no matter what.
Gavilan rallied for two-spots in the second,
fourth and fifth off Caada starting pitcher
Elihah Saunders to close the lead to 7-6. But
in the top of the sixth, Feldstein drilled his
second home run, shooting a laser beam over
the wall in left-center.
He smoked it, Lucca said. It was the hardest hit ball all day.
Gavilan answered back in the bottom of the
sixth against the Colts bullpen with two
unearned runs to cut the lead to 9-8, then tied
it in the seventh with another unearned run.
Amid Feldsteins power show, Caada
earned the go-ahead run by virtue of a sacrifice
fly in the eighth. Jacob Martinez opened the
inning with a walk and eventually moved to
third after walks to Rico Caravalho and
Feldstein. Then Dom Giuliani lifted a fly ball
to short center field that didnt look deep
enough to score the run, but Martinez bolted
for the plate for the go-ahead run.
I think [Martinez] kind of surprised [the
center fielder] with taking off because the guy
caught it just behind shortstop in short center
the junior-varsity squad as a junior last season turned in the play of the game amid
the Bells sixth-inning rally with a tremendous diving stop.
With Serra clinging to a 7-5 lead,
Bellarmine had runners at second and third
with two outs when sophomore Connor
Henriques shot a sharp grounder that looked
destined for center field. Roux got a quick
first step to the ball and dove with full
extension merely to knock it down.
Henriques was credited with an RBI single
on the play, but the Bellarmine base runner
at second, Kieran Shaw, only reached third
base, where he was stranded when the following batter flew out to center field to end
the inning.
Once I saw it coming to me I knew I had
to knock it down to stop the runner from
scoring, Roux said. So once I knocked it
down I just scrambled to the ball, picked it
up and hoped he didnt score.
Rouxs clutch defense was set up by a pair
of big Padres miscues. After back-to-back
one-out singles by Todd Jackson and
Laurence Palmer, Shaw shot a potential double-play grounder towards Serra third baseman Angelo Bortolin, but the ball skipped

field, Lucca said. It was a spot where we

needed to be aggressive and he just took off
running.
In the ninth, Caada exploded for five runs,
including a three-run jack by Feldstein as he
connected with a high fastball for an opposite
field shot to right-center, his third of the day.
Right-hander Chris Davis earned his first
collegiate win in relief, working a scoreless
seventh inning. Right-hander Nick Moisant
closed it out with two no-hit innings to earn
his fifth save of the year.
With the win, the second-place Colts keep
pace in Coast Pacific Conference, a half game
back of first-place Cabrillo.
The last Caada player to hit three home
runs in a game was Wade Reynoso, during his
two years with the Colts from 2007-08.

Bulldogs even series with De Anza

College of San Mateos relief arms Drew
Reveno and Mark Quinby teamed for another
prolific outing, leading the Bulldogs (9-7 in
Coast Golden Gate, 20-12 overall) to a 3-2
win to earn a split in a two-game series with
De Anza (9-7, 20-12).
Reveno worked 3 1/3 innings to earn the
win, improving to 3-2. Quinby nailed down
the ninth for his fifth save of the year, and
also paced CSM along with first baseman
R.J. Prince with two hits apiece.
With the win, CSM moves into a thirdplace tie with De Anza in the Coast Golden
Gate Conference, three games back of firstplace Mission.
under Bortolins backhand attempt and into
left field. Then to add insult to injury,
Sambel in left field missed the cutoff man,
allowing Shaw to sneak into second base on
the throw.
That situation there, weve got to hit our
relay man and give our infielder a chance to
make a decision, Gianinno said. In that
situation he airmailed it. Its a freebie. It
cant happen.
But the Padres defense bounced back in a
hurry. Prior to Rouxs gem, Bortolin recovered by making a nice play on a slow chopper up the third-base line, gathering and
gunning to first on the run for the second
out of the inning while keeping the base
runners in check.
We really just pride ourselves on team
defense, Roux said. Were all focused on
making plays throughout the game. That
play in particular might have sparked the
team, but I think it was just an all-around
team effort that helped us on defense.
With two on and two out in the seventh,
Serra turned to senior left-hander Vinny
Venturi who faced one batter to earn his first
save of the year. The Padres saves leader,

Prior to Tuesdays baseball game with

Bellarmine, Serra paid tribute to Sofia
Rodriguez, the 3-year-old daughter of Bells
manager Mike Rodriguez.
On Nov. 10, 2015, Sofia was diagnosed with
leukemia, less than two months after the birth
of her younger brother Michael.
Being six months, he just knows he has a
sister who loves him to death, Mike
Rodriguez said. I think he brings a ton of joy
to her and vice versa, and they both kind of
feed off that positive energy. Its a good
dynamic for us at home.
With Sofia now undergoing cancer treatment, Mike Rodriguez is hopeful she will be
cancer free by the target completion date for
her treatment of March 2018.
In Tuesdays pregame ceremony at Frisella
Field, the Serra team presented Mike
Rodriguez a gift bag for Sofia along with a
sign that read: Sofia strong.

there is the fact that pediatric cancers are very
underfunded, Mike Rodriguez said.

four innings in his longest outing of the
year in this second start.
Besse worked three no-hit innings but ran
into trouble in the fourth. Bellarmine senior
Mark Gaffey led off the inning with a gritty
nine-pitch at-bat, taking two two-strike
curveballs that wrapped just wide of the
plate, before shooting a single to center.
Kyle Horn followed with a two-run home
run to get the Bells on the board.
Bellarmine rallied for two more runs with an
RBI single from Laurence Palmer and an RBI
double from Shaw, but Besse settled down to
get the final two outs to finish the inning.
He was good, Gianinno said. That one
inning is one inning. But he was good.
Weve got some things we can clean up. But
it was good to extend him a little bit, especially down the stretch here.
With six games remaining in WCAL play,
Serra holds a one-game lead, with St.
Francis, Mitty and Bellarmine tied for second.
Thats going to last for about two days,
Gianinno said. Now youre going to have
to earn it and keep it.

Foil for foolproof baked salmon

By Melissa dArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

We all know that eating fish several

times a week is a healthy goal. But a lot of
otherwise accomplished home cooks still
find cooking fish a bit intimidating. The
biggest worry? Drying it out.
Id love to say that this fear is unfounded,
but truth is that its easy to overcook fish.
This is why I always pull the fish out a
minute or two before I think its done.
Usually, that will result in perfectly moist
and tender results.
Another trick: en papillote, or packet
method of cooking. Cooking fish en papillote is a super-easy way to increase (significantly!) the margin of error, that window
when the fish is cooked, but not overcooked. Thats because cooking the fish in
a tightly sealed packet creates a dome of
steam that gently cooks the fish (and any
other ingredients in the packet), keeping
all those tasty juices right inside.
That cooking time forgiveness is pure
culinary gold! En papillote traditionally is
done using kitchen parchment, but foil
packets are handy and can get tossed on the
grill in summer. Just be aware that foil can
react with acid, so if you are using a lot of
lemon juice for an en papillote recipe, its
better to go with parchment (but not for the Cooking salmon in a tightly sealed packet creates a dome of steam that gently cooks the fish

1 tablespoon chopped Thai basil (or regular basil if not available)
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 cup light canned coconut milk
3 shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into matchsticks
1/2 pound thin green beans (haricots

Heat the oven to 375 F. Coat 6 large rectangles of heavy foil with cooking spray.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper,
then set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the curry paste and
fish sauce. Add the pineapple, chili sauce,
garlic, basil, lime zest and coconut milk.
Mix well.
Divide the shallots evenly among the
prepared sheets of foil, spreading them
evenly in the center of each rectangle. Set a
salmon fillet over the shallots on each
sheet, then spoon some of the sauce over
the salmon, dividing it evenly between the
servings. Top each with red pepper slices
and green beans, then fold up the sides of
the foil to create loose packets. Be sure to
crimp the packets well so they contain any
steam.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and
bake until the salmon is cooked through,
15 to 20 minutes. Be careful when opening;
the packets will release hot steam.

McDonalds testing
bigger, smaller Big Macs
NEW YORK McDonalds is testing bigger and smaller
versions of its Big Mac as the worlds biggest hamburger
chain pushes to revive its business.
The company says its testing a Grand Mac and Mac
Jr. in the Central Ohio and the Dallas areas, and will see
how they do before deciding on a national rollout.
The Grand Mac is made with two third-pound beef patties,
which may be a way for the company to make its famous
burger more substantial as burger competitors have made
the regular Big Mac seem skimpy to some. It will sell for
$4.89. The Mac Jr. is basically a single-layer Big Mac, and
McDonalds says its easier to eat on the go. That will sell
for between $2.39 and $2.59.
McDonalds Corp. has been fighting to turn around its
business after seeing customer visits decline in recent
years. The Oak Brook, Illinois company has said it needs to
move faster to keep up with changing tastes.
Last week, the company held its biannual convention
with franchisees in Florida to discuss plans to refresh the
business.
The test was first reported in Columbus Business First.

pleasantly grainy texture that like the almonds adds body to the finished sauce.

ont be fooled into thinking

mole is just a Mexican
chocolate sauce. To start
with, though it is rich and decadent, it
is savory, not sweet. In fact, depending on how it is made, it can pack significant heat. Most varieties involve
some sort of ground nuts or seeds,
which give these sauces a stick-toyour-ribs thickness that begs to be
paired with hearty meats.
There are many ways to make mole.
This version uses raw almonds, which
are sauteed with onion, garlic, a few
spices, a few chili peppers, some
orange juice and tomato paste. The
result is balanced and rich, and it
wont overwhelm. You will, however,
want some warm flour tortillas to sop
up the excess. Its that good.

PARIS Swapping burgers for lobster souffle and rusty

welding for a state-of-the-art canopy roof, Paris mayor this
month unveiled a $1 billion revamp of the citys dilapidated main shopping and transport complex, Les Halles.
Paris authorities view the building project which made
central Paris a construction site pockmarked with cranes
for seven years as an opportunity to gentrify the 70s
complex that was often voted among the citys the biggest
eyesores by disgruntled Paris residents, and also attract a
share of the millions of tourists who visit the city every
year.
The previous incarnation of Les Halles became associated
more with the myriad gangs of youths who traveled in on
regional trains from the less-affluent suburbs to hang out
there than it was for its rich past as the gilded food market and shelter the French king would use to impress merchants in the 12th century and the culinary heart of the city
that 19th-century novelist Emile Zola famously called the
belly of Paris.
Today, a giant, green high-tech glass-and-metal undulating canopy roof designed by architects Patrick Berger and
Jacques Anziutti sparkles in the spring sunshine.

Not much, however, has changed with the
PDP program since 2012 which makes the
latest report so troubling, Digiacinto said.
It makes no sense to me, he said.
The 2014-15 San Mateo County Civil
Grand Jury also acknowledged that the PDP
was regarded as well-managed, effective
and economical. The American Bar
Association and National Legal Aid and
Defender Association awarded the PDP the
Harrison Tweed Award in 2012 for its longterm excellence in providing legal services
to the indigent of San Mateo County,
according to the response.
Although Haning and Caseys report does
offer praise for the program for the service it
provides the indigent, it says the local bar
association is not the right group to oversee it.
Since the local bar association runs the

schedule pickups using their smartphones.
But Zum doesnt just drop off your kids at
school or practice, it also provides nanny
services if parents are running late. The
drivers will actually join children at their
activities until a parent arrives.
Some parents need this service every
day. We provide continuity and consistency, Narayan said Tuesday.
Zum also provides carpool services for
children and each family has only a few drivers, some only one, so parents and their
children become comfortable with the driver. Zum will literally match the driver with
the family based on personal interviews.
Her two children, ages 11 and 6, also use
the service daily, she said. The idea of Zum
formed as Narayan was juggling a career at
eBay and raising her children.

program, some lawyers sit on both the bars

board and the PDP panel.
Haning and Casey interviewed judges,
present and former bar board members, PDP
panel members and other attorneys who all
said the bar associations board of directors
is failing in its responsibility to manage
and oversee the operation of the PDP.
The program is also not meant to be a sustainable source of income for its panel
members but it appears to be, according to
Haning and Caseys report.
The PDP program has operated in the
county essentially as is for 47 years with
the exception it now takes on many more
thousands of cases a year, Digiacinto said.
The PDP was required to reply to the report
to the county by April 15. The bar association is preparing its own report.
In California, most counties have their
own public defender programs staffed by
county employees. Other counties use a
contract system with a private law firm to
represent criminal defendants.
In San Mateo County, the PDP uses a pool

of lawyers who are essentially independent

contractors. The current contract between
the county and bar association is $18.5 million.
But by having the chief defender become a
county employee, it takes away the positions ability to negotiate the contract,
Digiacinto said.
The Haning and Casey report also offers
other recommendations if the county
chooses to continue to contract with the bar
association.
They include a periodic, independent
review of the programs finances. Another
criticism of the PDP panel is that it has been
closed or limited in numbers. The report
recommends that the panel be open to all
qualified members of the local bar association.
The report also says that the PDP is overstaffed and that cost savings can be realized.
The PDP, however, does not agree.
These cost-cutting measures, on the
heels of the construction of a $165 million
jail to incarcerate predominantly indigent

defendants, runs the risk of causing the perception, not unnoticed in San Mateos
underserved communities, that San Mateo
[County] favors incarceration over justice,
education and rehabilitation. The proposed
cost-cutting measures also demonstrate
what will inevitably happen to funding for
the PDP if the chief defender is made a county appointment/employee, according to
the PDP response letter sent to the county.
The recommendations, according to the
response, will destroy the high-quality
indigent defense the PDP has provided for
47 years and degrade the quality of representation.
The PDP is urging the Board of
Supervisors to reject each and every recommendation in the report.
Deputy County Manager Reyna Farrales
had requested feedback from the PDP by
April 15 so she can prepare a report for the
board as whether to follow the reports recommendations.
She is expected to make any recommendations to the board related to revamping the
program in August or December.

Some former Shuddle drivers have already

been matched with the same children they
shuttled around before the company closed
last week.
Its about making parents lives easier,
Narayan said.
Zum has pledged to provide service for
every former client of Shuddle. Drivers are
being trained now, she said.
She has relied so far on growing her business by word of mouth.
You have to have a great product parents
will share with other parents, she said.
Rides start from $16 and are based on time
and mileage. Nanny services cost $6 per 15
minutes.
Zum requires that its drivers have experience working with children and each undergoes an extensive background check.
Drivers must also own a 2009 or newer fourdoor vehicle in good condition.
There are also no subscription fees. Zum
is a pay-as-you-go service.
Zum started to provide rides for former
Shuddle clients starting Monday and many
found the service by searching Google and
reading the companys reviews.
The companys mission, Narayan said, is
to provide families with dependable rides
for their children and to create flexible jobs
for childcare providers.

have been built into the hillside, but Holtz

said much of the focus revolved around repurposing existing resources into the projects.
The efforts are apparent in logs trimmed
from trees that once hung over the trail and
posed a hazard to hikers being cut down to
size and placed into the dirt walkway as reinforcement for better steps.
Workers from the city, conservation corps,
crews on release from local detention centers
and volunteers are among those who deserve
credit for the rehabilitation effort, said Holtz.
Holtz said the collaboration has made the
pass through the natural habitat easier for
local residents to enjoy.
This makes it more accessible and user
friendly, he said.
The dirt trail is open daily for free to members of the public to enjoy, along with their
leashed dogs. No camping is allowed on the
property, which closes at nightfall.
Outside of the recent beautification efforts,
Holtz said volunteers are often responsible
for clearing non-native species which may
grow along the trail, as well as cleaning out
the rare occurrence of litter being left behind.
Holtz though said city officials are seeking
more public participation in maintaining the
trail for the rest of the year, and interested
residents are encouraged to reach out to the
citys Parks and Recreation Department.
Glomstad credited the ongoing efforts of
city workers for walking the trail monthly to
do repairs, manage brush and remove tree
limbs which may have fallen, among other
efforts.
The rehabilitation initiative has been well
received by residents, as Joe Goodwine, who
was walking the trail with his dog Rowdy,
said he appreciated the work.
Its a pretty remote trail, so just for the
guys to be out here is remarkable, he said.
Its just a beautiful place. Its quiet. The dog
loves it.

finishing touch on the work which began last
month that included building new stairs,
regrading the trail for storm drainage, adding
more steps, reducing erosion threats, widening the trail, implementing new retaining
walls and more.
Burlingame Assistant Parks Supervisor
Richard Holtz praised the effort to rejuvenate
one of Burlingames underappreciated natural
resources.
This is such a wonderful area, he said.
Its nice to be in the city and then suddenly
be able to drop down into nature. Its great for
the community.
A consultant hired by the city last year
identified a variety of trail improvements,
many focused on reducing erosion and
improving drainage, according to Parks and
Recreation Director Margaret Glomstad, in
an email.
Our main goal is maintaining the current
trail and correcting problems that arise each
year from use and storms, as well as to make
improvements throughout the canyon, she
said.
The 120 hours of work completed by the
California Conservation Corps was financed
through approval of city officials, which
drew the praise of Holtz.
Its great the council funded these
improvements so the trail is there for future
generations, he said.
Holtz said the recent effort is one of the
most comprehensive maintenance treatments the trail has received in years.
The city also supplied some of the materials for the improvements, such as pressuretreated wood lining some of the steps that

Michael Strahan leaving

daytimes Live for GMA
By David Bauder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Former football star

Michael Strahan is being shifted from
the daily talk show he co-hosts with
Kelly Ripa to work full-time on ABCs
Good Morning America.
The change comes as Good
Morning America tries to shore up
sinking ratings at a time of tighter
competition with NBCs Today show
and reflects the importance of the
show to parent Walt Disney Co.s bottom line.
Strahan has worked a couple of days
a week at GMA for the past two
years, but he always has to leave midway through to head to the Live with
Kelly and Michael studio on
Manhattans upper West Side. Hes
joining the shows regular cast of
Robin
Roberts,
George
Stephanopoulos, Lara Logan, Amy
Robach and Ginger Zee.
Starting in September, hell be there
five days a week for the full two-hour
show.
The former New York Giant was
selected in 2012 to replace Regis
Philbin as Ripas co-host on the talk
show, which airs directly after Good
Morning America at 9 a.m. in
most markets.

a tireless and versatile broadcaster
with an incredible ability

destroyed in the 2010 San Bruno blast
as well introducing images of the
explosion site. He said that information could unfairly prejudice jurors.
Prosecutors have charged PG&E
with one count of obstructing investigators after the blast and multiple
pipeline safety violations. PG&E has
pleaded not guilty.
PG&E said in a statement Tuesday
that its employees did not intentionally violate the Pipeline Safety Act or
obstruct an investigation.

makers to a host of American cultural

icons, said ABC News President
James Goldston. He is a great modern
thinker and leader.
Good Morning America remains
televisions most popular morning
show, averaging 4.96 million viewers
a day since the beginning of the year.
But that audience is down 10 percent
from 2015, according to the Nielsen
company.
More importantly, GMA is down
15 percent among viewers aged 25-to-

54, and thats the demographic that

most advertising rates for news programs are based upon. NBC now leads
ABC in this category for 2016.
Given a choice of trying to help one
show while simultaneously hurting
another, it was no contest: Disney has
much more money at stake with Good
Morning America than with Live
with Kelly and Michael.
ABC said Tuesday that a search for
Strahans replacement as Ripas partner will begin in the fall. Live is a
solid performer in the ratings, and was
a close second to Dr. Phil among daytime syndicated shows in the most
recent ratings report. Ripa and Strahan
shared an Emmy for outstanding entertainment talk show hosts last year.
The combination has been great for
the show, said Bill Carroll, an expert
in the syndication market for Katz
Media. Michael has brought a new
audience to the show and a great energy
working with Kelly.
The shows chief advantage in
searching for a replacement is longtime producer Michael Gelman, who
dates back to the shows formative
years with Philbin and Kathie Lee
Gifford, he said. The show has commitments to be on the air at
least through 2020.
Strahan, who retired
from the NFL in 2008
following a 15year playing
career, will
remain as a
co -h o s t
of NFL

on the
we e k ends.

Even where mistakes were made,

employees were acting in good faith
to provide customers with safe and
reliable energy, the company said.
The U.S. Attorneys Office said it
had no comment on the ruling.
Jury selection is set to start on April
26. PG&E had sought to block any reference to the San Bruno blast, but
Henderson said it was unquestionably
relevant to the charges in the case.
The explosion makes it at least
somewhat more likely the pipeline
was not properly maintained in accordance with pipeline safety regulations, and it underpins the obstruction
charge, Henderson said. The blast
killed eight people and destroyed 38
homes.

Investigators have blamed the 2010

blast in part on poor record-keeping at
PG&E that they say was based on
incomplete and inaccurate pipeline
information.
Henderson on Monday also granted
PG&Es request to exclude the
National
Transportation
Safety
Boards conclusions about the blast,
saying jurors might wrongly substitute the NTSBs findings about
PG&Es alleged regulatory violations
for their own.
Henderson said he would allow prosecutors to present testimony from a
former PG&E employee that she experienced resistance when she tried to
improve the companys shoddy
record-keeping.

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.

U.S. and Iranian ministers meet

over Iran sanctions complaints
By Edith M. Lederer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

A man walks near damaged shops after an airstrike on a market in the town of Maarat
al-Numan in the insurgent stronghold of Idlib province, Syria.

Fighting in Syria intensifies

as opposition digs in heels
By Jamey Keaten and Philip Issa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GENEVA Syrias top opposition leader

vowed to fight even with stones to depose
President Bashar Assad, shifting sharply to
a tone of conflict over conciliation as peace
talks in Geneva teetered near collapse
Tuesday amid a new surge in fighting
including government airstrikes that left
dozens dead.
Angry and defiant, Riad Hijab of the
Western-backed Syrian High Negotiations
Committee thundered home the opposition
coalitions decision to walk back if not
entirely away from U.N.-brokered peace
talks in Geneva. He demanded more Security
Council oversight of an increasingly wobbly cease-fire as Assads troops battled rebel
fighters in various parts of the country.
The calculated gamble to jeopardize what
diplomats have called the best chance in
years to bring a diplomatic end to Syrias
five-year war came amid the opposition
groups growing frustration over unproductive peace talks and hundreds of government
cease-fire violations in recent weeks.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights reported that at least 44 people mostly civilians died in government airstrikes on opposition-held towns
in northern Idlib province on Tuesday.
Government warplanes also bombed areas

in the central Homs and Hama provinces,

activists said.
Salem Meslet, the High Negotiations
Committee spokesman, said the deadly
strikes validated the coalitions decision to
suspend participation in the Geneva talks.
Calling the strikes a massacre of innocents, Meslet said that Assad is telling the
world he has no interest in diplomacy or
peace.
The opposition coalition accuses the
government of preparing an assault on the
city of Aleppo, ignoring its demands for the
release of thousands of detainees, and rejecting or avoiding requests for U. N. -led
humanitarian aid shipments in recent
weeks. The opposition says those are signs
of bad faith by Assads side and accuses it of
stalling for time in the Geneva talks.
We cannot continue to be in discussions
in Geneva when our people are dying of
hunger and bombardments, Hijab told a
news conference. We will fight no matter
the circumstances. We will fight even with
stones, and will not surrender.
There cannot be a political process that
prolongs the life of this regime, he said.
For us, as of yesterday, we are out of the
political process.
He demanded deployment of international
monitors to inspect adherence to the ceasefire brokered by the U.S. and Russia in late
February.

UNITED NATIONS U.S. Secretary of

State John Kerry and Irans Foreign
Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif met
behind closed doors Tuesday following
Iranian complaints that the United States
isnt fulfilling last years landmark nuclear
deal and providing adequate sanctions
relief.
The two ministers shook hands before the
meeting at U.N. headquarters started with
Kerry standing in front of the Iranian flag
and Zarif before the American flag where
small signs on the floor signaled they
should stand. Kerry greeted the media but
neither he nor Zarif made any comments.
Zarif said Saturday that he would ask the
United States to ease restrictions on nonAmerican banks doing business with the
Islamic Republic, saying it would help reassure Iranians over the nuclear deal. He said
the U.S. is required to implement its commitments in banking cooperation.
A day earlier, the head of Irans central
bank, Valiollah Seif, accused the U.S. and

Fidel Castro gives rare

speech saying he will soon die
HAVANA Cuban revolutionary leader
Fidel Castro delivered a valedictory speech
on Tuesday to the Communist Party he put in
power a half-century ago, telling party
members he would soon die and exhorting
them to help his ideas survive.
Ill be 90 years old soon, Castro said in
his most extensive public appearance in
years. Soon Ill be like all the others. The
time will come for all of us, but the ideas of
the Cuban Communists will remain as proof
on this planet that if they are worked at with

the European Union of

failing to honor the
nuclear agreement by
keeping Iran locked out
of the international
financial system.
The White House,
Treasury and the State
Department have all said
the United States has
John Kerry
done what is required of
it.
Yet, officials say the
Obama administration is
considering easing or
formally
clarifying
financial
restrictions
that prevent U.S. dollars
from being used in transactions that enable busiMohammad ness with Iran. The officials have ruled out
Zarif
granting Iran access to
the U.S. financial system or direct access to
the dollar, but they have left the door open
to other steps to encourage trade that is now
legal under the nuclear deal.

Around the world

fervor and dignity, they
can produce the material
and cultural goods that
human beings need, and
we need to fight without
truce to obtain them.
Castro spoke as the
government announced
that his brother Raul will
the
Cuban
Fidel Castro retain
Communist Partys highest post alongside his hardline second-incommand.
