Potential ballot measure seeks renter protections

Burlingame initiative would limit power of landlords over tenants
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A group of Burlingame residents concerned by what they call unjust rent hikes
and unfair evictions have designed a ballot
measure for the November election to repeal
a city policy preventing officials from
enacting rent control measures.
Burlingame Advocates for Renter
Protections filed Wednesday, March 30,
documents with the city intending to

rescind Measure T, the city policy limiting

the power of the City Council to govern
rental agreements, as well as establish just
cause eviction protections for tenants,
implement rent stabilization and require
landlords to provide relocation assistance
to displaced residents.
The effort created to be brought before
voters in November comes in the wake of
the death of Marie Hatch at 97 years old

San Mateo Countys Private Defender Program needs a

complete revamp to avoid possible financial and material
conflicts of interest among the lawyers who run it, according to Judge Zerne Haning.
Haning evaluated the PDP, run by the San Mateo County
Bar Association, to compare it to other public defender programs and contract systems in the state.
He recommends the program be completely severed from
the Bar Association and that the county take over its operation.
Deputy County Manager Reyna Farrales has requested
feedback from the PDP by April 15 as she prepares a report

San Carlos artist enlivens Redwood

City with serendipitous paintwork

Police reports
Driven mad
A resident on Coronet Boulevard in
Belmont reported that his neighbor
kept parking in his driveway before
10:48 a.m. Sunday, March 20.

By Renee Abu-Zaghibra
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

MILLBRAE

The first step to bringing a mailboxs

shadow to life is working out the stencil
design to help bring out its best sharptoothed grin.
Damon Belanger, a local artist from San
Carlos, created the stencil designs for his
latest art project at his home before heading
to downtown Redwood City where he draws
it out in chalk and paints the design on the
sidewalk. A dark gray paint gives the illusion of a strange shadow attached to everyday objects. A parking meters shadow
becomes a monkeys hangout or bike racks
begin sprouting flowers.
The shadow art has allowed me to bring
out a more whimsical side with my art and
allows me to play with shadows, said
Belanger. It was surprising when I got
notified that they had chose me because I
suspected that they had gotten a lot of great
portfolios sent in so I wasnt sure what I was
up against.
The Redwood City Improvement
Association donated $30,000 to the city
and partnered with Redwood City Parks,
Recreation and Community Services
Department, Redwood City Parks and Arts
Foundation and the Partnership Redwood
City Program to bring more creativity to
downtown.
Theres plenty of artistic people in
Redwood City, but they dont always have
the funding to do the things they want to
do, said Eric Lochtefeld, president of the
RCIA. Wed like to be a constant source of
funding for the arts community in downtown Redwood City.
Chris Beth, director of Redwood City
Parks, and Stephanie Kolkka, owner of
Brick Monkey, were the designated leaders
of this project and made the final decision of
the chosen artist. Out of the many portfolios sent in, Belanger seemed like the best
fit for their vision. The idea of shadow art
brought a mischievous and playful vibe to
peoples everyday stroll downtown.
We see public art as a means for vibrancy
or defining cultural uniqueness even supporting economic development, said Beth.
I think theres really an improvement in
quality of life when theres really good public art.
The installment has a total of 20 pieces
spread out all over downtown ranging from
the Caltrain station to the San Mateo
County History Museum. The artwork has
caused many people to do a double take
because at first glance the shadows seem to
blend in well with everyday life. Beth

Trumps abortion flub shows

risks of winging it on policy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

APPLETON, Wis. It was a question sure to come up at

some point in the Republican primary campaign.
What should the law be on abortion? asked MSNBCs
Chris Matthews to Donald Trump at a town hall event in
Wisconsin.
Should the woman be punished for having an abortion?
Matthews pressed. This is not something you can dodge.
Trumps bungled response an awkward, extended
attempt to evade the question, followed by an answer that,
yes, there has to be some form of punishment prompted a backlash that managed to unite abortion rights activists
and opponents. And it also brought an unprecedented reversal from the notoriously unapologetic candidate less than a
week before Wisconsins important primary.
The episode demonstrated the extent to which Trump has
glossed over the rigorous policy preparation that is fundamental to most presidential campaigns, underscoring the
risks of the billionaire businessmans winging-it approach
as he inches closer to the Republican nomination.

Trump stumbling in Wisconsin

as forces coalesce against him
By Scott Bauer and Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADISON, Wis. Next Tuesdays

Wisconsin presidential primary is
emerging as a crucial lifeline for
Republicans desperate to stop Donald
Trumps march to their partys nomination. One of his worst weeks of the
2016 campaign is colliding with a
state already skeptical of his brash
brand of politics.
A big loss for Trump in Wisconsin
would greatly reduce his chances of
securing the delegates he needs to
clinch the GOP nomination before
next Julys national convention. It
could also offer new hope to rival Ted
Cruz and outside groups that see Trump
as a threat to the future of the
Republican Party.
I think the whole country is looking to Wisconsin right now to make a
choice in this race, and I think the

choice Wisconsin
makes is going to
have repercussions
for a long time to
come, Cruz said
Thursday in an
interview
with
Milwaukee radio
station WTMJ.
Trumps view is
Ted Cruz
rosier for his own
campaign: If we win Wisconsin, its
pretty much over.
But almost nothing has gone right
for him since Wisconsin stepped into
the primary spotlight.
Even before he arrived, Trump was
skewered in interviews with a trio of
Wisconsins influential conservative
talk radio hosts. On Tuesday, just
hours before his first campaign stop,
two-term Gov. Scott Walker threw his
support behind Cruz, of Texas.
Much of the trouble that followed

was of the Trump campaigns own

making. Corey Lewandowski, Trumps
campaign manager, got slapped with a
charge of simple battery for an altercation with a reporter. Then Trump was
forced to walk back his assertion that
women should be punished for getting
abortions, a comment that managed to
unite both sides of the abortion debate
in fierce opposition to his statement.
As soon as he stepped foot in
Wisconsin the mask finally came off,
said state Rep. Jim Steineke, the
Republican majority leader in the
Wisconsin Assembly. Part of it is just
the Wisconsin nice. We dont take too
kindly to people who act the way
Donald Trump acts.
GOP voter Linda Ruddy, a 48-yearold dental hygienist from Oshkosh,
agreed.
Hes rude. Hes arrogant. Hes a
loose cannon. Hes insulting to
women, Ruddy said.

Two arrested in Redwood City

gas station armed robbery
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

Two men were arrested in an armed robbery

of a gas station in Redwood City on Tuesday
night, police said.
Officers arrested 18-year-old Redwood
City resident Isaac Cifuentes and 22-yearold Redwood City resident Rodolfo Molina
following a robbery at a Gas & Shop station
at 3139 Jefferson Ave.
Officers responded at 9:30 p.m. to a report
of an in-progress armed robbery at the gas
station, according to police.
The clerk told officers that a suspect
entered the store wearing a mask over his
face and was carrying a gun. The suspect
pointed the gun at the clerk while telling
him to open the cash register, police said.
The suspect then took an undisclosed
amount of cash, according to police.
A witness told police that the suspect ran
south on Alameda de las Pulgas toward
Wessex Way. A responding officer noticed a
suspicious vehicle with two suspects inside
and tried to stop the vehicle, a gray 2012
Honda Accord, but the driver drove away,
police said.
The officer saw a suspect in the front
right seat throw something out of the window near Madison Avenue and Sapphire

Street, police said.
After continuing east on Madison Avenue,
the Accord stopped and the front passenger,
later identified as Cifuentes, ran from the
vehicle.
Police said they were able to detain the
driver, later identified as Molina.
Officers set up a perimeter and, with the
help of a San Mateo County sheriffs K-9,
searched yard to yard for Cifuentes. He was
eventually found hiding in the area of the
700 block of Topaz Street, according to
police.
Cifuentes and Molina were booked into
the county jail on suspicion of armed robbery and evading arrest.
Police said they recovered a replica handgun and a black ski mask they believe were
thrown from the Accord.
The clerk, a 58-year-old San Bruno resident, was not injured in the robbery.
Anyone with more information about the
robbery is being asked to call Detective
Roman Gomez at (650) 780-7620.

Officials: U.S. mulls new

rules on dollars to help Iran

Barack Obama talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, right, during a working dinner
at the White House with heads of delegations attending the Nuclear Security Summit.

Obama finds common cause on

North Korea with China, allies
By Matthew Pennington
and Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In the face of mounting threats from North Korea, President

Barack Obama on Thursday urged closer
security ties among its chief allies in Asia
and increased cooperation with strategic
rival China to discourage Pyongyang from
further advances in nuclear weapons.
As world leaders gathered for a nuclear
security summit, Obama first met with
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and
South Korean President Park Geun-hye.
Together, they warned North Korea would
face even tougher sanctions and more isolation if provokes again with nuclear and
missile tests.
Then Obama met Chinese President Xi
Jinping and both called for North Korea to
give up its nuclear weapons. China also
agreed to implement in full the latest economic restrictions imposed by the U.N.
Security Council against Pyongyang.
More than 50 governments and international organizations are attending the
two-day summit on preventing nuclear terrorism the last in a series of global
meetings Obama has championed on the
issue. The risk posed by the Islamic State
group tops this years agenda but concerns
about North Korea are also commanding
focus.
Of great importance to both of us is
North Koreas pursuit of nuclear weapons,
which threatens the security and stability

of the region. President Xi and I are both

committed to the denuclearization of the
Korean Peninsula, Obama said at the start
of his meeting with Xi.
China and the U.S. have a responsibility to work together, Xi said in his comments made to reporters through an interpreter. As for their disputes and disagreements, the Chinese leader said the two
sides could seek active solutions through
dialogue and consultation.
North Koreas fourth nuclear test in
January, followed by a space a launch in
February, have heralded more convergence
among often-fractious powers in East Asia
at least on the need to press the government of Kim Jong Un toward disarming.
Japan and South Korea have persuasive
reasons to get along. They both host U.S.
forces and are both in range of North
Korean missiles. But their relations have
been plagued by historical differences that
date back to Japans colonial occupation
of Korea in the first half of the 20th century and its militarys use of sex slaves during World War II.
But those tensions have eased some. Abe
said North Korea nuclear and missile capability is a direct and grave threat to them
all.
Should it choose to undertake yet
another provocation, it is certain to find
itself facing even tougher sanctions and
isolation, Park said of Pyongyang.
Young leader Kim Jong Un has also
alienated the Norths traditional benefactor and main trading partner, China.

Around the nation

WASHINGTON The Obama administration may soon tell foreign governments and
banks they can start using the dollar in
some instances to facilitate business with
Iran, officials told the Associated Press,
describing an arcane tweak to U.S. financial
rules that could prove significant for
Tehrans sanctions-battered economy.
While no decision is final, U.S. officials
familiar with internal discussions said the
Treasury Department is considering issuing
a general license that would permit offshore
financial institutions to access dollars for
foreign currency trades in support of legitimate business with Iran, a practice that is
currently illegal.
Several restrictions would apply, but such
a license would reverse a ban that has been
in place for several years and one the administration had vowed to maintain while
defending last years nuclear deal to skeptical U.S. lawmakers and the public.
The United States and other world powers
reached agreement with Iran last summer to
give the Islamic Republic billions of dollars in sanctions relief in exchange for its
promise to curtail programs that would
allow it to develop nuclear weapons

RALEIGH, N.C. North Carolinas governor met Thursday with gay-rights advocates bearing a letter signed by more than

repeal the nations first state law limiting the

The law also excludes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from anti-discrimination protections, and blocks municipalities from adopting their own anti-discrimination and living wage rules.
The governor appreciated the opportunity
to sit down and deal with these complex
issues through conversation and dialogue as
opposed to political threats and economic
retaliation, his spokesman, Josh Ellis, said
in a statement. The advocates declined to
describe Gov. Pat McCrorys response.

Surge of younger

There has been a surge of younger

Local briefs
Californians exhibiting interest in voting
in the first three months of the year, according to numbers released by the state
Wednesday.
More than 560,000 people have either
registered to vote or updated existing information so far this year, and 36 percent of
those people were between the ages of 17
and 25, according to California Secretary of
State Alex Padillas office.
We are witnessing a wave of young
Californians engaging in the democratic
process, Padilla said in a statement. The
timing says everything they want to
vote.
Throughout all of 2014, there were only
425,220 new registrations or updated registrations through the states voter website,
which is only 100,000 more than totals just
for this month, according to data released by
Padillas office.
This surge in online voter registration
suggests that elections officials throughout our state should be preparing for a
surge in turnout during the June 7
Presidential Primary Election, Padilla
said.
California residents who are 17 years old
can register to vote if they will be 18 or
older by the next election.

The FBI, an iPhone and an opportunity

Other voices

The Washington Post

wo legitimate interests of
society were at war with each
other in the ght between
Apple and the FBI over the contents
of a terrorists iPhone. After seeking
in court to compel Apples help in
unlocking the phone, the FBI has
pulled back, saying it found a way to
obtain the data without Apples assistance. But the larger conict over
encryption of data and its impact on
privacy and security is not yet sorted
out and must not be neglected.
On one side, law enforcement
authorities in the United States
express a valid worry about the
prospect of going dark that manufacturers are building products that
encrypt data, either on a network or
on the device, in ways that are accessible only to a user, and thus off-limits to law enforcement even with a
court-approved warrant. They fear that
this could provide a digital safe haven
to criminals and terrorists.
On the other side, Apple Chief

Executive Tim Cook insists that any

concession to government intrusion
will weaken encryption for all users,
at great risk to security and privacy.
Mr. Cook sees encrypted data as a
safeguard for the 99 percent of lawabiding users against proliferating
cybersecurity threats. Many consumers are demanding protection,
especially after the Edward Snowden
disclosures of government surveillance. Tech companies also argue
theyll be better able to protect free
speech for billions of people in
unfree societies such as China and
Russia if they do not bow to U.S.
government demands.
In the confrontation over the San
Bernardino shooters phone, neither
side gave ground from these positions. The conict escalated rapidly
without revealing any serious wiggle
room. It was not a promising environment in which to make policy.
Apple did suggest during the debate,
without endorsing any specic legis-

lation, that perhaps Congress should

take up the issue. The company also
expressed some openness to the
establishment of a national commission of experts to determine whether
the twin imperatives of privacy and
security can both be met.
Some encryption enthusiasts insist
this is a fools errand, that any backdoor vulnerability handed to government will eventually get into the wild
and ruin encryption for all. Perhaps,
but if this argument is true, there
should be no harm in having it
scrubbed and examined by a national
commission of the best and brightest
minds. Ditto the argument put forward
by some in the tech community that
law enforcement has many other ways
to obtain information these days and
is crying wolf when it complains
about going dark. Finally, a commission might offer Congress suggestions to update federal laws governing communications that date from
the analog age.
The FBIs withdrawal from the court
challenge offers a respite that should
not be wasted.

Traffic on Ralston Avenue
Editor,
For four days in the last two weeks
at 8:15 a.m., I had to use Ralston
Avenue from Chula Vista Drive west
to reach Interstate 280. I observed
that the eastbound trafc heading to
Highway 101 in the opposite direction was mired in a solid trafc jam
that began as far to the west as Davis
Drive, the area of a proposed
Hillsborough middle school.
I believe none of the members of
the Belmont City Council nor the
Community Development planners
have a need to use Ralston Avenue in
the mornings or evenings on a daily
basis. Perhaps that helps to explain
the ill-wisdom of the proposal to add,
twice a day, 280 students and staff to
Ralston Avenue trafc that are going
to the proposed Davis Drive school
site.
Aside from the frequent gridlock on
Ralston Avenue, trafc in the
Belmont Canyon, which Ralston
bisects, generates signicant
amounts of toxic exhaust fumes and
emits large amounts of particulates
into the air. Anyone living in the
canyon area a large number of
Belmont residents already suffers
as a result. Beyond adding signicantly more trafc to Ralston, the
proposed Hillsborough school development places those with emphysema, asthma or other pulmonary conditions at greater risk.

Re-dominating Cuba
Editor,
Cuba is letting itself in to another
round of inevitable, total domination
by the United States. Not only did the
Platt Amendment allow Cuba (after
we liberated it from Spain) to run
its own affairs, providing they did so
according our rules, Cuba was forced
into a single crop society based on
producing sugar cane. This meant that
the country was dependent on outside
countries for their actual food needs
namely from the United States.
Watch out Cuba, it looks like
youre walking into a sweet-smelling
trap that youll regret soon enough.

The end of
the Times
O

n April 9, 1859, William Godfrey began the San

Mateo Gazette, the countys rst known newspaper.
And for the last 120 years or so, the county has also
been served by the San Mateo Times, which became
known as the San Mateo County Times in 1996 when it
was sold to the Alameda Newspaper Group, which was an
Oakland-based arm of MediaNews, out of Denver,
Colorado. In subsequent years, there were changes at the
Times, and that included, at rst, a larger emphasis on
East Bay news, then that shifted to more South Bay coverage when ANG became the Bay Area News Group in
2006. During that change, MediaNews bought the
Mercury News from McClatchy, which had bought it from
Knight-Ridder just before. In
2011, a proposal to drop the
name San Mateo County
Times was oated and dropped
after someone somewhere in
corporate changed their
minds. However, in recent
years, there has been no difference between the San
Mateo County Times and the
San Jose Mercury News aside
from the name at the top of
the newspaper.
So the news at the beginning of this month that the
San Mateo County Times
would cease to ofcially exist
Tuesday, April 5, to be newly known as The Mercury
News, along with the groups San Jose agship paper,
should have come as no surprise.
You might think that as editor of a competing newspaper, I would be pleased by this news, as if we had won
some sort of longtime battle. But thats not the case.
While true the Daily Journal started in 2000 because of
the dearth of local news coverage in San Mateo County,
and that was because the Times had its interests elsewhere, the local loss is symbolic of a shifting of the
industry and of reader interests in recent years. And to put
it simply, the San Mateo County Times, and the Times
before it, is a community icon whose loss should be
mourned.
While no one can say that the recent incarnation of the
Times was close to its heyday in the middle part of the
last century, it was a robust newspaper that served the
community well when I rst arrived here as a journalist in
1997. Though I know the original Times boasted a newsroom of 50 at one time, the County Times in 1997 had a
full staff of 12 reporters, a few editors and several talented photographers one of whom, John Green, is still
plugging away producing a visual history of this everchanging area. Since then, the staff has dwindled to one
full-time reporter, Aaron Kinney, who is talented and creative and produces interesting storytelling on selected
topics.
No one knows what the future holds for the Bay Area
News Group, but it, along with every other traditional
newspaper company providing metro-style coverage, has
been facing tremendous pressure to meet the changing
face of the news industry sparked by the advent and growing popularity of the Internet and social media. Even
national newspapers such as The New York Times and The
Wall Street Journal face pressure to change with the
times.
At its start, the Daily Journal was considered to be a
new model for newspapers, with intensely local news
coverage, a small and nimble staff and the capability to
use advancing technology to our advantage. That proved
to be true at rst but then the times moved even quicker,
though it helps to have a nimble staff and a smart and creative publisher.
No one knows what the future also holds for newspapers overall, and it is a question sure to cause a stir
among those in the industry for a long period of time, or
among those who got out of the industry and remember
the old times. However, the fact remains that journalism,
particularly local journalism, is prized among active
communities, and what is now known as the newspaper
industry will soon be known as simply the news industry.
No matter how the industry evolves, engaged communities will either nd a way to support the news organizations they cherish or a new incarnation will rise to take
its place.
Here at the Daily Journal, our plan is to try our very
best at all times to cover San Mateo County in a responsive and responsible way as long as we can, and as long
as the community supports us in whatever form it sees t.

Stocks end a turbulent quarter on quiet note

By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Stocks closed

mostly lower on Thursday, with
chemicals and agricultural companies taking the largest losses. The
price of gold continued its long
surge. Trading was quiet on the
final day of a stormy first quarter
that produced surprising gains.
Indexes were little changed for
most of the day, then gradually slid
from small gains to small losses
in the afternoon. A shaky industry
outlook hurt agriculture, fertilizer
and farm equipment companies.
Gold prices inched higher to
complete their biggest quarterly
gain in almost 30 years. The Dow
Jones industrial average and
Standard & Poors 500 index, both
of which were down more than 10
percent last month, finished the
quarter higher.
At the start of this year,
investors seemed eager to turn the
page on 2015. But the market
plunged as investors feared for the
health of the global economy.
Tobias Levkovich, chief U. S.
Equity Strategist for Citi
Investment
Research,
said
investors bought traditionally
defensive stocks as the market
fell, including health care companies and companies that make
consumer goods. Then stocks rallied, and many of those companies suffered while energy compa-

If youre an institutional
investor you probably got way too
defensive in January, you suffered
on the way down and youve suffered on the way up, he said. The
market may have recovered, but a

A quiet quarter for mutual

funds brings sighs of relief
By Stan Choe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Investors made

very little, if anything, from most
mutual funds last quarter. Phew.
A relatively flat quarter feels like
a victory because investors were
bracing for much worse earlier this
year, when the Standard & Poors
500 index was in the midst of its
worst start of a year in history.
Only a rally in the last seven
weeks got stock funds back close
to even.
Its the latest jarring quarter for
investors, who have endured sharp
swings up and down since last
summer following years of
remarkably calm and strong
returns.
The S&P 500 has already had 15
days in the past three months
where it lost at least 1 percent. In
all of 2013 it had fewer than 20
such days; the same was true in
2014.

Some first quarter trends

US STOCK FUNDS LURCHED
DOWN, THEN UP AGAIN
The first six weeks of the year brought a terrifying
thud for stock funds.
Worries were already high coming into the year
that a weak global economy would pull the
United States back into a recession. Poor numbers
coming out of China and elsewhere worsened
the concerns.
Investors responded by dumping stocks. The
largest fund by assets, Vanguards Total Stock
Market Index fund, was down as much as 11.3
percent for the year on Feb. 11. The fund hasnt
had that bad a performance for a quarter since
2011.
Stocks turned around, though, and began
climbing slowly and steadily. The S&P 500 had a
stretch where it rose at least 1 percent for five
consecutive weeks, something that hasnt
happened since April 2009, right after this bull
market began.
Investors got some relief from the Federal
Reserve, which said in mid-March that it will move
slowly in raising interest rates. News on the
economics front was only somewhat reassuring.
U.S. data wasnt good enough to convince people
the economy was cruising, but it wasnt bad
enough to confirm the worst predictions of an
imminent recession, either. Employers added
more jobs than expected in February, for
example.
All in, the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index fund

returned 1 percent for the quarter, as of

Wednesday. While that pales in comparison to
the 6.2 percent it returned a quarter earlier, its
still much better than the steep loss it was on
pace for in mid-February.

FOREIGN STOCK
FUNDS ALSO STRUGGLED
Investors have been keen to get into foreign stock
funds, pouring more money into them over the
past year than any other type of investment.
All that popularity didnt help their returns last
quarter. Most foreign stock mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds logged modest losses.
The average fund that invests in a mix of largecap foreign stocks lost 1.4 percent, for example.
Chinese stock funds were some of the worst
performers, losing an average of 4.8 percent, as
economic reports suggested the slowdown in
the worlds second-largest economy is even
worse than feared. European and Japanese stock
funds also lost between 2 percent and 2.2
percent, on average.
Emerging-market stock funds were an outlier,
returning an average of 3.6 percent. Big gains for
Latin American stocks helped drive the
performance, as they recouped a portion of their
sharp losses from earlier years.
Brazilian stocks have jumped despite the
countrys recession in part on speculation that
its president may be impeached due to a
corruption scandal.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Ask any

restaurant server or bartender
about side work and you are liable
to get an earful. Sweeping floors,
washing dishes, making salad?
These are tasks that should pay

On Wednesday, a Ruby Tuesday

claiming she is required to do
excessive side work in a federal
lawsuit she hopes will become a
class action involving thousands
of workers at 658 restaurants

nationwide. The case is one of several, targeting some of the countrys largest restaurant chains,
filed after the U.S. Supreme Court
in 2012 let stand a ruling allowing
Applebees employees to sue over
side work. That suit ended in an
undisclosed settlement with over
5,500 workers.
Ruby Tuesday, with headquarters
in Maryville, issued a statement
saying, While we cannot comment on pending litigation, we are
committed to our Ruby Tuesday
team members, and we will be providing a vigorous defense of the
company on this matter in the
appropriate forum.

People wait in line outside a Tesla Motors store to place deposits on the
electric car companys mid-priced Model 3 which is expected to cost around
$35,000 in Pasadena.

Leaf and BMW i3.

Robin Santucci got the sixth
spot in line when he arrived at the
Santa Monica, California, Tesla
store at 3:45 a.m. Thursday. By 9
a.m., he estimated there were 200
people in line.
Santucci has admired Tesla for
years. When he got his current
car, an electric Fiat 500, he made
sure the lease would run out at the
end of 2017 so his next car could
be the Model 3.
The design of every other car
theyve put out is beautiful, said
Santucci, who works in digital
advertising and lives in West
Hollywood.
Santucci added that he didnt
want to wait too long to order a
car because the federal tax credit
of $7,500 will sunset once Tesla
sells 200, 000 vehicles in the
U.S. Thats likely several years
away, but customers like Santucci
want to be sure they qualify.
The Model 3 is the most serious
test yet of 13-year-old Teslas
ability to go from a niche player
to a full-fledged automaker.

Warriors want record more As have expectations

By Josh Dubow

OAKLAND If anyone still doubted

whether the Golden State Warriors were truly
going to push for a record 73 wins instead of

should now be put to rest for good.
Playing on the back end of a back-to-back
on the road against a hungry team fighting for
the playoffs, Stephen Curry played his most
minutes since before Christmas, Draymond
Green crashed hard to the floor in overtime
and the Warriors (68-7) conceded nothing in a

left them five wins away

from breaking Chicagos
record of 72 wins with
seven games left to play.
It is something we

Samardzija shines against As

in final spring training tune-up

CSM, Caada each reel

off comeback victories
College of San Mateo came up clutch this
week to climb back into the Coast Golden
Gate Conference race.
The Bulldogs (5-3 in Coast Golden Gate,
16-8 overall) swept a two-game series from
Chabot College by virtue of two dramatic
comebacks. CSM scored winning runs in its
final at-bats in each Tuesdays 3-2 win and
Thursdays 6-4 triumph
over the Gladiators.
The stick of Juan
Gonzalez loomed large in
both victories, as the
sophomore catcher went 3
for 8 with four RBIs in the
series. His leadoff single
in the ninth inning
Juan Gonzalez Thursday at Chabot amid a
4-4 tie set the table for
Nick Adgars eventual two-run double to give
the Bulldogs their first lead of the afternoon.
CSM trailed 4-2 after the sixth inning, but
rallied to tie it in the top of the seventh on a
two-run bomb by Gonzalez, his team-best
fourth of the year.
Six different pitchers took the mound in the
game for CSM and totaled 12 strikeouts, with
reliever Daniel Slominski working two scoreless frames in the seventh and eighth to earn
the first win of his collegiate career.
In the bottom of the ninth, freshman righthander Brady Navarro entered to start the
inning. But after hitting the leadoff batter,
CSM turned to closer Mark Quinby, who
induced a double play and finished with a
strikeout to earn his fifth save of the year, and
his first since March 1 against Hartnell.
In Tuesdays series opener at Bulldog
Stadium, the Bulldogs also trailed late.
Despite sophomore right-hander Cameron
Greenoughs second consecutive quality start
he allowed two runs on five hits through
six innings CSM found itself down 2-0 in
the eighth, but erupted for three runs in the
bottom of the frame to seesaw into the lead.
Anders Green led off the inning with a single
and Quinby doubled him home to get CSM on
the board. Then after a Brandon Hernandez single, Gonzalez played the hero again with a

two-run double to give the Bulldogs a 3-2 lead.

Reveno earned the win in the relief, firing
three shutout innings to improve his record to
2-1.
Green paced all hitters in the series at a 5for-9 clip. CSMs leadoff hitter now ranks second on the squad with a .321 batting average.
Hernandez paces the Bulldogs, batting .390,
currently ranking second in the Coast Golden
Gate behind Missions Blake Billinger, who
is batting a cool .400.
With the sweep, CSM climbs into a thirdplace tie with Chabot (5-3, 14-9). Both team
are one game back on De Anza and Mission,
tied atop to Coast Golden Gate standings.

Caada rallies in ninth to top Cabrillo

After the Caada Colts (5-1, 9-13) suffered
their first loss in Coast Pacific Conference
play Tuesday at Cabrillo, they were facing a
mini losing streak at home Thursday trailing
by a run going into the bottom of the ninth.
But Caada rallied for a
two-spot to score a walkoff 5-4 victory.
Caleb Romero opened
the inning drawing a walk
and moved to second on a
sacrifice bunt by Sean
Walsh. Then sophomore
Jacob Martinez 4 for 5
Jacob Martinez with an RBI and two runs
scored tied it with an
RBI single. Martinez then moved to second
on a groundout, setting the stage for Rico
Caravalhos two-out RBI single to end it.
Caada right-hander Nick Moisant earned
his first win of the season, working three
innings while retiring all nine batters he
faced.
Caada has now won five of its last six to
start conference play, and moves back into a
first-place tie with Cabrillo.
On Tuesday, Cabrillo (5-1, 15-9) rolled to
an 8-1 win, scoring early and often to hand the
Colts their first loss in conference play. The
Seahawks were paced by former Sequoia High
School standout Zane Gelphman who went 3
for 4 with two RBIs and a run scored. The
sophomore third baseman went 4 for 6 in the
series and is currently batting .312 with one
home run and 14 RBIs on the year.

Giants brief
Adrianza also drove in runs for San Francisco,
and all three runs scored with two outs.
Samardzija was sharp in his final tuneup of
the spring while working five crisp innings.
He struck out five, didnt walk anyone and
allowed only three balls out of the infield over
his final four innings. Samardzija has allowed
only two runs over his last 11 innings and hasnt walked a batter since March 16.
Stephen Vogt doubled in Billy Butler in the
seventh for Oaklands only run. The As have
lost four straight.
An opponent making hay in the midfield
and putting pressure on the M-A defense?
Oro would shuffle further back into a more
defensive midfielder position a position
charged with being the first relief valve for
the back line.
I knew what he could do on offense. As
long as he did his minimum job on
defense, I was OK (with him pushing
into the attack), Krupnik said. I wanted him to be more responsible on
defense. Toward the end (of the season), he knew what I wanted and he did
very well.
Once the defense was solidified and
M-A started to take control in the midfield, Oro would move into his playmaking role: sending probing balls from the
middle of the field to two of the best strikers in the PAL Kyle Smith, the Daily
Journals 2015 Player of the Year, and Jean
Claverie. Oro finished the season with
nearly a dozen assists.
And when the Bears needed an offensive
boost, Oro was there to deliver. Thirteen
times he found the back of the net as he
moved into a forward attacking position.
Half of the season, [Smith] played more
of an outside position and Ethan was a second striker, Krupnik said. [Oro] produced.
He had the numbers.
He scored some
important goals
for us.

Teams being investigated by NCAA in Final Four

By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim

doesnt like using the term clean to describe a
college sports program, because the opposite
of that would mean dirty.
Nothing is that black and white in the NCAA.
For proof, check out the Final Four, where
Boeheims team will play North Carolina in a
semifinal pitting one program serving sanctions for lack of institutional control against
another thats dealing with one of the biggest
academic scandals in the history of college
sports a case that could be resolved soon after
the nets are cut down.
Its a story line that speaks to the almost
mandatory detachment of coaches from certain
parts of their programs, in part to give them
some plausible deniability when something
goes amiss. Its about the impenetrable rulebook of college sports, and how hard it is to
keep a program from running afoul of anything
in that books 405 pages. And, its about the
realities of a sport that concludes each season
with a tournament that bankrolls a significant
chunk of the college sports budget via its $10.8

billion TV contract.
The coaches and administrators put parameters around all this that allow them to view
themselves as pretty good, given how the system works, said Tom Palaima, a Classics professor at University of Texas, who has long
railed against the supersized role of sports in
college.
Sports fans compartmentalize it. That way,
everyone is able to live with themselves, he
said.
Along with scholarship reductions and vacating previous victories, the NCAA forced
Boeheim to serve a nine-game suspension this
season for violations that included impermissible benefits, academic misconduct and a lax
drug-testing program.
The fact that the Orange are in Houston
after squeaking into the 68-team field as a 10
seed that many experts felt didnt belong is,
to many, a statement about the ineffectiveness
of the punishment. Even so, Boeheim believes
his team got treated unfairly.
Cheating, thats not true, the coach said
about his programs misdeeds. Rules being
broken, thats a lot different.

Two UConn players

are living the dream
By Pat Eaton-Robb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STORRS, Conn. UConns Briana

Pulido and Tierney Lawlor were good high
school basketball players, but not at a level
that would attract coach Geno Auriemma.
Neither 5-foot-7 guard, in fact, thought
about playing in college until a tweet in
2013 from Breanna Stewart caught their eye.
The Husky star said UConn, which had just
nine scholarship athletes that season, was
holding tryouts for walk-ons to help out in
practice.
This week, Pulido, a senior, and Lawlor, a
junior, head to their third Final Four, this
time on scholarship. And they hope to play
a small role in the undefeated teams attempt
to win a fourth consecutive national championship.
As a kid you grow up watching it and
youre always thinking of it, but I never
really believed it would happen, said
Lawlor, who grew up a UConn fan. She was a
three-sport athlete at Ansonia High School

in Connecticut, where she averaged 12

points and nine rebounds.
Pulido was her high schools offensive
player of the year as a senior, but came to
UConn from Miami on a partial track scholarship. She earned records at Gulliver
Preparatory in the high jump, 100-meter
hurdles and 300-meter hurdles.
She said UConns track coach was dumbfounded when she told him she was dropping
that sport to become a basketball walk-on.
He really thought I was crazy, she said.
But I said, This is what I really want to
do.
Assistant coach Shea Ralph said the
coaches were interested in Pulido almost
immediately because she was already a
UConn athlete. They knew less about
Lawlor, but she shined during tryouts, especially during an individual workout.
Its pretty intense, Ralph said. Some
kids dont last three minutes. She went an
hour without even asking for a water break
and hit about 80 percent of her shots. I was

ested in the coachs semantics. During his news

conference Thursday, Emmert said any inference
that Syracuse didnt serve its penalty is simply
wrong, and even used Boeheims protestations
about too-harsh penalties to drive home his
point.
I understand why, optically, people have a
lot of questions around all that, Emmert said.
The reality is ... the university dealt with those
sanctions, and this group of young men playing right now had nothing to do with those violations.
Some find irony in the fact that while
Syracuse plays on, players at SMU and
Louisville are being penalized even though the
majority of them didnt have anything to do
with troubles at their schools that resulted in
both teams being excised from this years postseason. Had they been eligible, either team
wouldve easily made the NCAA Tournament
possibly even taking a spot that eventually
went to Syracuse.
In an interview with the Associated Press,
SMU coach Larry Brown, who has had his share
of run-ins with the NCAA, refused to talk about
his schools issues or the overall state of the
sport.

Its a great event, Brown said of March

Madness. I dont care what other people think,
those people scratching their heads. I always
watch. I love the college game and I care about
it.
Theres been speculation that Browns friend,
65-year-old Carolina coach Roy Williams,
might decide to retire after this season. Hes
coaching in his eighth Final Four, and the
NCAA investigation is expected to wrap up
shortly after the tournament.
Its an ugly scandal, involving athletes and
other students who took no-show classes for
nearly two decades, resulting in artificially high
grades while administrators ignored the issue.
Its been such a big story, that Im tired of
it, Williams said.
He views this trip to the Final Four as a tribute to the toughness of his players, none of
whom were involved in the scandal, but all of
whom have been able to set it aside and draw
within two wins of the schools sixth title.
Not everyone feels that way, and some take
exception to watching two teams take the
sports biggest stage, either of which could just
as easily have been on the sideline had the
NCAA responded differently.

and filled out his first-ever bracket.
I was sitting at my computer and everybody was saying, You have to submit one.

Kaepernicks $11.9M 2016 Study: Amateur football hits

contract now guaranteed linked to later-life difficulty

SANTA CLARA After months

Kaepernick has been recovering
from surgeries on his right thumb,
his left knee, and on his nonthrowing left shoulder to repair a
torn labrum, which landed him on
season-ending injured reserve
after he lost his job last fall to
2011 first-round pick Blaine
Gabbert.
Gabbert took over in November
for the benched Kaepernick, who
completed just 59 percent of his
passes with six touchdowns, five
interceptions and a 78.5 rating
before losing his job.
Kaepernick went 2-6 in eight
starts last season before being
benched,
raising
questions
whether the quarterback who guided the 49ers to a runner-up Super
Bowl finish following the 2012
season was still the best option
under center.
Now, it looks like he will get a
chance in a new, fast-paced offensive system. Gabbert, who threw
for a career-best 354 yards in the
season finale win against St.
Louis, said when the 49ers 5-11

straight year out of the playoffs
that he expected to be San

BOSTON The more hits to the

head an amateur football player
takes, the greater the risk that he will
be depressed, have difficulty making
decisions or develop other forms of
cognitive impairment as an adult, a
preliminary study suggests.
The study by Boston University
researchers published in the Journal
of Neurotrauma on Thursday is the
first of its kind to look at the connection between the cumulative
number of impacts sustained from
youth football through college and
later-in-life mental difficulties,
according to Dr. Robert Stern, one of
the co-authors.
Stern, of the BU School of
Medicine, said the study is an
important first step to guide future
research, but cautioned that it should
not be used to influence parenting or
policy decisions.
This is not meant to be: If you
get hit a certain number of times,
you will have problems. Thats not
how this can be interpreted, he said.
It is important in that it starts to
answer some questions. But by no
means is it a definitive study. ... It is
very preliminary.

30 yards was the icing on

It was one of those

Ive scored goals in the
past. I think in the past, I
would create more chances
than I would score, Oro
said. I dont think of
myself as a goal scorer, but
once I scored a couple of
goals, that confidence started to build. When you have
that confidence, it can be very

Measuring head impact exposure is very difficult.

We dont have helmet accelerometers on

many hits did you have over your lifetime?
Yorghos Tripodis, co-author of study by Boston University

The study looked at 93 former

amateur football players and, based
on their positions and years of experience, calculated how many head
hits they likely sustained over their
careers. It found that once a
threshold is reached the risk of
later-life cognitive, mood and
behavioral impairment increases as
the hit count increases.

sophomore out

in the preliminaries of the
Raleigh Relays at Paul Derr Track
on the campus of North Carolina
State. The previous record was
held by Lauren Hansson, who ran
the 100 in 11. 83 seconds in

concussion management.
All those changes have been
extremely important, he said. That
said, my strong feeling is that we
also have to focus on the hits that
dont get diagnosed as concussions.
These repetitive subconcussive hits
add up tremendously.
The authors acknowledged the
studys limitations, including a
small sample size and the fact that
they were only able to look back at
reported head impacts, not study
them in real time.
Researchers also drew no conclusions about chronic traumatic
encephalopathy, which can only be
diagnosed after death. The paper suggested further study using similar
head-impact data that could be measured against a CTE diagnosis; future
work could also focus on potential
risk factors such as genetics, diet and
substance abuse, including performance enhancing drugs.

The right-hander has won 14 games in
each of his rst two full major league seasons.
Ive always had high expectations for
myself, Gray said. Come in maybe being a
little more vocal with the younger guys, but
as far as for myself, dont look too far ahead,
like Ive always said stay healthy and get
out there on the mound. Because if you can
get out there every fth day, the work and
talent and everything should take over.
He plans to pitch at about ve pounds
heavier this season, closer to 185.
Gray, manager Bob Melvin and the lowbudget As are projected to not only be at the
bottom of the AL West but also among the
worst in the entire American League.
I like our team, Melvin said. We feel
like were in much better shape than we were
last year.
Oakland nished last in the AL West at 6894 after three straight playoff berths.
We have a bunch of new guys. The year
didnt work out as a team, designated hitter
Billy Butler said. Its one of those things
in different areas we have a whole new look,
we have a whole new bullpen, whole new
basically team. The optimisms there. We
have the talent to do it we just have to go out
there and do it.
Here are some things to watch for with the
As:

Davis chance
Khris Davis is eager for a new start out
West after his trade from Milwaukee just
before spring training began.
He provides some pop, too. Davis hit 49
home runs and has driven in 135 runs over
the past two seasons.
Im here for a reason, he said.

Determined Butler
Butler batted .251 with 15 home runs and
65 RBIs in his rst season with Oakland.

I always have better second halves, I just

had a really bad rst half, Butler said.
While he hit well down the stretch, Butler
wants to bring his steady bat from opening
day.
Hopefully he comes out this year and performs well, Gray said. Theres no doubt in
my mind, I think he will. Hes going to be a
big part of this team if were going to be
where we want to be.

Revamped bullpen
Oakland went 19-35 in one-run games,
leading the majors in such defeats.
The As went out and boosted their bullpen
as a result adding John Axford, Ryan
Madson, Marc Rzepczynski and Liam
Hendriks to give Melvin options leading to
a healthy Sean Doolittle to close in the
ninth inning.
We had one area that bit us a little bit and
rst thing our front ofce did was go out and
try to take care of that area, Melvin said.
That was the major concern that we tried to
shore up.
Oaklands relievers owned the worst ERA
in the American League last season at 4.63
and third-highest in baseball.

Parker hurt again

In yet another devastating elbow injury,
Oakland lost right-hander Jarrod Parker
again. And he was headed for a third Tommy
John surgery April 1 after fracturing his
elbow on the 12th pitch of a simulated game
at spring training.
Parker plans to rehab and try to pitch
again.

Semiens defense
Shortstop Marcus Semien committed a
majors-leading 35 errors in his rst season
with the As last year, then worked tirelessly
under ineld coach Ron Washington to
improve his elding.
Semien hit .257 with 15 homers and 45
RBIs.
The way we work, the way that Ive
learned to work on defense with Wash, has
really made me more condent, Semien

Panda to the pine

FORT MYERS, Fla. Pablo Sandoval has

become a $95 million bench player.
The Boston Red Sox announced before their
final spring training game
Thursday that Travis Shaw,
a 25-year-old who made
his big league debut last
May, will be their starting
third baseman.
If its the right decision
to help the team win, Im
going to be happy. Im
going to be ready for the
Pablo Sandoval bench. Ill get ready for
everything in the season
and do my job, Sandoval said. Its going to
be difficult. I have to be happy and do a great
job. Its still a fantastic spring. ... Nothing is
easy.
Sandoval hit .245 last season with a .292
on-base percentage, .366 slugging percentage, 10 homers and 47 RBIs. A switch-hitter

he gave up hitting from the right side.

Sandoval missed spring training games due to
back soreness after he dove for a ball on
March 22 off the bat of the Marlins Giancarlo
Stanton.
Known as Kung Fu Panda for his physique,
he appeared to be well over his listed 255
pounds when he reported for spring training
in February. But the Red Sox said they were
not concerned by his weight and principal
owner John Henry said Sandovals body-fat
ratio was 17 percent, down from 21 percent
last season.
Sandoval, 29, won three titles with San
Francisco and was the 2012 World Series
MVP. He is owed $17 million this year in the
second season of a $95 million, five-year
contract.
Shaw hit .270 with 13 home runs and 36
RBI in 65 games last season.
I feel I did what I needed to do this spring to
put myself in this position. Im really looking forward to experiencing my first opening
day, Shaw said. Being able to start on
Monday is going to be really exciting.

of playing for that team
year-round, with the ultimate goal of catching the
eye of a college coach
or even a national
team representative.
Academy speed of
play and physically, is a
lot higher, Oro said.
Ethan Oro
(Playing
academy
before returning to high school) gave me a
little bit of an edge.
But playing in an academy program means
no high school team. After a year of playing
academy soccer, Oro started thinking he
wanted to take a different path.
I wasnt 100 percent certain I wanted to
play in college my freshman year. I was
looking for a way to continue playing soccer, but not that seriously.
I didnt even try out for academy this
year.
But because of scheduling conflicts, he
missed the first couple days of tryouts for the

M-A team which is never a good scenario

with a new coach taking over the program.
He came to us a bit late, Krupnik said.
It looked like he was a pretty good player.
He was not in my initial plans to start,
but as he got into shape and started getting
opportunities (to play), he started playing
better.
Oro contributed his slow start to his lack
of playing time leading up the season. Once
he decided not to play academy, he had no
team for which to play until the high school
season rolled around. And once he did get
his fitness back, it took a period of time to
gel with the rest of his teammates.
I hadnt been playing that much in the
fall. It was an adjustment to playing every
day again, Oro said. With the new coach
and a lot of new guys it took a while for
the
team
to
come
together.
Come together it did and it resulted in a second straight PAL Bay Division title.
Im glad he came out (for the high school
season), Krupnik said. He helped the

With UConn beating opponents by an
average of more than 40-points a game,
Pulido and Lawlor get playing time.
Lawlor has played 88 minutes this season
(about three a game) and has scored 55
points during her three seasons, including
nine points this year. Pulido has played 67
minutes this season, scoring four of her 21
career points.
Fans cheer for them to come in at the end
of almost every blowout. They know Lawlor
as the player who gathers the Huskies in the
final huddle before each game, giving her
teammates the final word of encouragement.
Pulido is one who jumps up after every made
3-pointer, high-fiving Huskies up and down
the bench.
But Stewart says their roles are much more
important than that. At every practice, they
push the starters, simulating the next opponent.
A lot of what they do goes unnoticed,
because they dont play a lot, she said. But
the energy that they bring is like nobody

Auriemma rewarded both with full scholarships after last season, saying then they
were an example to his other players.
The only thing that the other kids had to
do to be on scholarship, they just had to be
really good basketball players in high

they had to come here and prove that they

SAN JOSE Jannik Hansen

scored the tiebreaking goal with

Canucks snapped a nine-game losing streak by beating the San Jose
Sharks 4-2 on Thursday night.
Daniel Sedin and Bo Horvat scored
in the first period and the Canucks

WARRIORS
Continued from page 11
Never was that more apparent
than in Utah, when Curry played
more than 42 minutes for his most
playing time since a double-overtime win in Boston on Dec. 11,
Green played nearly 43 minutes and
Klay Thompson played nearly 39.
The combined 124 minutes for
Golden States three biggest stars
were their most in any game this
season.
Coach Steve Kerr, a member on
the Bulls team that set the record,
was a latecomer to the cause. After
stressing the importance of rest for
much of the season, he recently
changed his tune and said if the
players wanted the record, hed play
them as long as they were healthy.
Our team wants it, Kerr said.
Theyve made it pretty clear, so
what were doing is listening to
them and trusting them that if
theyre injured, theyre going to let
us know. And if thats the case, well
give them a rest. And if they feel
like theyre perfectly capable of
getting out there and playing and
thats what they want to do, then
thats what well do.
What once was a hypothetical
question about whether the record
was in reach has become reality in
recent weeks as the players have
sensed how close 73 wins really are.
We realize we can make history
and that helps because it keeps you
focused every game, Thompson
said. You dont want to lose and get
this far and not go for it. We have a
young youthful team and a great mix
of vets that know how to pace themselves. We put a lot on the young
guys shoulders and go out there and
perform every night and thats

Granlund added
an empty-net
goal and Ryan
Jannik Hansen Miller made 32
saves to help
Vancouver earn its second win in San

Jose in March.
Patrick Marleau and Logan
Couture scored for the Sharks, who
lost for the 22nd time at home this
season and will now likely have to
open the playoffs on the road. San
Jose is five points behind Los
Angeles and four back of Anaheim in
the Pacific Division with the Kings
having one game in hand and the
Ducks two.
Martin Jones made 22 saves.

The Canucks appeared on their

way to losing their 13th game this
season when leading after two when
Couture tied the game midway
through the third. He took a pass
from Brent Burns at the side of the
net and beat Miller for his fourth
goal in two games this week against
Vancouver.
But shortly after that, Burns couldnt handle a pass from Joe Thornton
in the offensive zone. The puck

deflected off the boards right to

Hansen, who skated in on a 2-on-1
and beat Jones for his 20th goal of
the season.
The Canucks took advantage of a
pair of giveaways from Joonas
Donskoi to score twice in the first
period. After the first in the neutral
zone, Jannik Hansen fired a shot on
net that Jones kicked out right to
Daniel Sedin for the goal into the
open net just 1:09 into the game.

great. We are 26 and younger so we

can do it right now and give our vets
a rest.
For much of the season, the
Warriors were fighting for their top
regular-season goal of earning
home-court advantage in the playoffs more than a record. With San
Antonio nipping close behind, the
Warriors could afford few slipups to
remain the top seed.
But with Spurs coach Gregg
Popovich resting many of his key
players of late, the Warriors have a
five-game lead with seven games to
play, all but assuring them of homecourt advantage. Kerr has not given
his top players the same type of
time off that his former coach
Popovich has done with the Spurs.
It doesnt matter, to me, how he
plays it, Kerr said. His team is a
little older than ours, too. We are
very aware of our guys and how they
feel and if there is a chance to rest
Shaun Livingston, Bogues (Andrew
Bogut), Andre (Iguodala), then we
would do that. ... We have a core
group of young guys that if I asked
them to skip a game they wouldnt
be really thrilled with me right
now.
Making the decision slightly easier for Kerr is the fact that even with
the increased intensity of the playoffs, the drawn-out postseason
schedule will give the team plenty
of rest.
In the 62 days between the end of
last season and when the Warriors
won the championship, they played
just 21 games. Even if they get tested more and have longer series, the
playoffs have no back-to-backs and
often have multiple days off
between games.
In contrast, Golden State has
played 23 games in the past 41 days
since the All-Star break with six
sets of back-to-backs.

With Islamic State militants at the

door, Syrians rush to rescue history
By Maeva Bambuck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAMASCUS, Syria With Islamic

State group militants on the doorstep of
his hometown in eastern Syria, Yaroob alAbdullah had little time. He had already
rushed his wife and four daughters to safety. Now he had to save the thousands of
ancient artifacts he loved.
In a week of furious work in summer
heat, tired and dehydrated from the
Ramadan fast, the head of antiquities in
Deir el-Zour province and his staff packed
up most of the contents of the museum in
the provincial capital. Then al-Abdullah
flew with 12 boxes of relics to Damascus.
The pieces included masterpieces: A
nearly 5,000-year-old statuette of a smiling worshipper. A colorful mural fragment
from a second-century temple for the god
Bel. Thousands of fragile clay tablets
inscribed with cuneiform writing, including administrative records, letters and
business deals that provide a glimpse at

U.N. court acquits Serb

nationalist Seselj; Croatia shocked
THE HAGUE, Netherlands In a rare
courtroom victory for a Serb defendant, a
U.N. war crimes tribunal on Thursday acquitted ultranationalist politician Vojislav
Seselj of atrocities and pronounced him a
free man. The decision inflamed simmering
tensions in the Balkans, sparking joy in
Serbia and horror and deep anger in Bosnia
and Croatia.
Prosecutors had charged Seselj, 61, with
crimes including persecution, murder and
torture and had demanded a 28-year sentence
for his support of Serb paramilitaries during

kingdom of Mari.
The move, carried out in 2014, was part
of a mission by antiquities officials across
Syria to evacuate everything that could be
saved from Islamic State extremists and
looters. The extent of the operation has
been little known until now, but its participants described to the Associated Press a
massive effort at least 29 of Syrias 34
museums largely emptied out and more
than 300,000 artifacts brought to the capital.

Tips for getting the most flavor

and juice out of your lemons
By Sara Moulton

lemon will give up about 1/4 cup of juice.

These muffins are quite rich, better suited
to dessert than breakfast (though they
would indeed be a delightful morning
splurge on a special occasion). Made with
juice and zest, their deep lemon flavor is
complemented by the raspberries. They are
a very good reason to be glad for spring.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fresh lemon including the juice and the

peel is one of my all-time favorite ingredients, in part because its just so versatile.
It can be the star of the show (as in this
recipe) or a brilliant supporting actor (as in
so many of my everyday dishes). Its indispensable in fish dishes and pairs beautifully
with all sorts of vegetables, raw and
cooked. I also reach for it regularly to
brighten up soups, stews and sautes.
The great thing about lemon peel, also
known as the zest, is that it adds intense
lemon flavor to a recipe without all the acid
that is found in the juice. I use grated lemon
zest in scrambled eggs and creamy pasta
dishes and combine it with chopped herbs
as a finishing touch for braised meats.
Whichever parts you use, its important
to start with the best possible lemons. The
winning candidates will boast a bright yellow color and a thin skin. A thin skin signals more juice and less pith (the bitter-tasting white layer between the peel and the
fruit itself). When grating the peel, you
want to stop short of the pith. How do you
know a given specimen has a thin skin? It
will give a little when you squeeze it.
Once home with your lemons, scrub each
one lightly under water to remove the edible
wax with which it was covered to protect the
fruit on its journey to the market. If your
recipe calls for zest and juice, grate the zest
before you juice the lemon. But dont grate
the zest until just before youre ready to add
it to the recipe. Zest quickly dries out and
loses its oomph if it sits around for very
long.
My favorite tool for grating zest is a
wand-style grater. Once upon a time, the
tool of choice was the fine-side of a foursided grater. Unfortunately, this gadget
often grabbed too much of the pith not to
mention the tips of your fingers in the
process. I do my grating over a piece of
kitchen parchment, which allows me to
pick up and measure the zest easily. The
yield is roughly 1 tablespoon of zest per
large lemon. If your recipe calls for zest but
not juice, wrap the unused lemon in plastic
wrap when youre done and do your best to
use it up within a few days. A lemon stripped
of its protective layer of zest dries out pretty quickly.
There are several ways to make sure you

squeeze the maximum amount of juice from
your lemon. First, soften up the fruit by
rolling it on the counter and pressing down
as you do. Second, heat it, either by
microwaving it for 20 seconds or so or by
stashing it in the oven at 350 F for 10 to 12
minutes. Finally, cut the lemon in half
crosswise and juice it.
I like to juice using an old-fashioned and

brightly-colored Mexican hand press. But

theres also a more unorthodox, if equally
effective, way to do it. Place the cut lemon
half in between the two arms of a set of
tongs, right at the top where the arms are
joined. Then squeeze the bottom ends
together. I learned this little trick from
Ming Tsai, who picked it up from Jasper
White, two of my favorite chefs. One large

beat in the vanilla. Add half the flour mixture and mix just until combined. Beat in the
cream and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice.
Add the remaining flour mixture, beating
just until combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin
cups, filling them halfway. Press 4 raspberries gently into the center of the batter in
each cup, then top with more batter, filling
the cups just up to the tops of the liners.
Bake the cupcakes on the ovens center
shelf until golden on top and a toothpick
inserted at the center comes out clean, about
30 minutes. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack

While the cupcakes are baking, make the

powdered sugar and remaining lemon juice
until smooth. When the cupcakes are
cooled, drizzle the glaze over each cake.

Manhattan a battlefield in
Tom Clancys The Division
By Lou Kesten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New York City: Its dirty, noisy and

crowded, and everyone whos lived there has
occasionally wished everyone else would
just go away.
Tom Clancys The Division (Ubisoft,
for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC,
$59.95) grants that wish via the Green
Poison, a smallpox mutation that wipes
out most Manhattanites and sends the rest
packing. Of course, the old adage about
being careful what you wish for applies:
Once civilization has been dismantled,
criminal gangs rush in and take control.
Your character is a Homeland Security
agent assigned to help restore order on the
island. You get to choose your gender, race
and other physical characteristics, but the
one trait thats going to help you survive is
your ability to handle a gun.
The initial section of The Division
involves setting up a base at the landmark
Postal Service building by Madison Square
Garden. You need to rescue three experts
in medicine, tech and security and then

find them the supplies they need to expand

their facilities inside the post office.
Unfortunately, every expedition leads to a
run-in with troublemakers. Most encounters
involve one of three gangs: the Rioters,
who were already in Manhattan when it collapsed; the Rikers, who escaped from the
nearby prison; and the Cleaners, sanitation
workers who just want to finish the job by
burning down the whole thing.
Theres an awful lot to do in The
Division, but the missions boil down to a

valuable resource, crush a particularly

His bold, studied and fully lived-in portrayal has attitude to spare too.

Continued from page 19

The present part shows a hyper-active

Davis, hopped up on painkillers and hobbling with a deteriorating hip trying to
collect a payment from the record company
that hes long since stopped producing for.
Its sort of a kitchen sink approach to the
escalating events story that takes Dave and
Miles everywhere from a college dorm
room to score some cocaine to a highspeed shoot out. Its particularly odd then
that this portion is duller than the more

say, falling in the present and another continuing the motion in the past. Its a unique
take on the fluidity and imprecision of
memory, but, more precisely its indicative
of Cheadles ambitions to make the film feel
as unpredictable and freestyle as Miles
jazz.
Cheadle as an actor is not afraid to show
Miles Davis for all his contradictions his

traditional portrait of the past.

That section plays more like a languid,
melancholy ballad as we peer into his
courtship of Frances and the insanity, danger and obsessiveness that drove her away.
Cheadle and Corinealdis palpable chemistry is an undeniable force here, and is a
striking contrast to the occasional awkwardness of many of Cheadle and
McGregors interactions in the present. In
theory, its probably meant to be another
evocation of jazz stylings, but in execution, it feels more like dead air.
Cheadle has an interesting vision here

and his ambitions pay off on a number of

levels especially in his performance
but it doesnt really come together as a
coherent composition. Unlike in jazz, the
disparate moments, sounds and styles struggle to coalesce in service of a whole thats
bigger than its parts.
Miles Ahead, a Sony Pictures Classic
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for strong language throughout, drug use, some sexuality/nudity and brief violence. Running
time: 100 minutes. Two and a half stars out

RENTERS
Continued from page 1
while she was fighting eviction from
her home of 66 years.
Even before Hatch and her roommate
Georgia Rothrock were told by their
landlord to leave their home, the high
cost of living in Burlingame has been a
source of considerable contention, as
many renters have been displaced
through substantial and abrupt rent
hikes.
In the face of cries from the community to address the issue, officials have
pointed to existence of Measure T, an
ordinance passed in 1988, claiming
their hands are tied.
But Cindy Cornell, head of
Burlingame Advocates for Renter
Protections, said the severity of the
housing crisis in the city has made such
a substantial policy shift necessary.
Its in the best interest for the whole
community, for the stability of the
whole community, she said.
Before the initiative can be brought
to voters, advocates must collect
roughly 2,500 petition signatures to
allow the measure to be included on the
fall ballot.
The proposed measure would limit the
ability of landlords to hike rents at an
amount greater than the current rate of
inflation, which is roughly 2 percent
annually, said Cornell.
The effort is designed to prevent landlords from suddenly raising rental
prices so much that existing tenants
can no longer afford to live in their
homes, said Cornell.

RENT
Continued from page 1
markets that have led to increasing
unaffordability for the vast majority of
residents.
According to the California Realtors
Association, only 13 percent of households currently residing in San Mateo
County can afford to purchase a median
priced home as of mid-2015. With few
able to afford to buy, many end up renting.
But while earlier attempts to enact
renter protection measures were quelled
with the formation of the task force late
last year, the group of stakeholders
returned unable to make recommendations on controversial topics such as
rent control and just cause eviction
ordinances.
The task force did not reach consensus on how to approach the various
impacts to tenants, many who have lost
housing due to no-cause evictions and
inability to afford rising rents, according to a staff report.

Friday April 1, 2016

Should the measure be approved,

landlords would also be required to offer
displaced tenants three months worth
of rent payments that could be spent
toward finding another place to live.
As more than half of Burlingames
residents are renters, Cornell said she is
confident support exists to get the
measure on the ballot, and ultimately
for it to pass.
If you dont vote for this as a renter,
you are facing more increases to your
rent, she said.
But some Burlingame residents are
critical of the measure and what they
believe could be its potentially harmful
side effects.
Ross Bruce, owner of AVR Realty in
Burlingame, said he felt the policy was
overly proscriptive in addressing an
issue which he feels should be resolved
by market forces.
I think fixing an economic problem
with a political solution doesnt work
any better than fixing a political problem with a military solution, he said.
Bruce said limiting the capacity of
landlords to manage their property
could have a variety of unintended consequences, such as making it harder for
property owners to evict problematic
tenants who adversely affect the quality
of life in their neighborhood.
He said though many in Burlingame
are compassionate to the struggle some
renters face, establishing potentially
restrictive regulations on private property may be difficult to support.
People pay a lot of money to live
here, he said. I think when push
comes to shove, they will be concerned
about their property rights, because
they paid so dearly for them.
For his part, Councilman Michael

Brownrigg said he is in favor of allowing the democratic process to play out,

to see whether the measure gains traction in the community.
This will be decided by the people,
he said.
Daniel Saver, an attorney who helped
the renter advocacy group draft its ballot proposal, said he considers the initiative sound policy.
This has to be done at the ballot
because of Measure T, he said.
Previously, voters had tied the citys
hands. Now the voters have an opportunity to stabilize the community, as we
are undergoing one of the most severe
housing crises in recent history.
Saver is a housing attorney at
Community Legal Services in East Palo
Alto, and has provided legal guidance to
many affected by the constantly
increasing cost of living along the
Peninsula.
Saver said the proposed measure is a
chance for Burlingame residents to
advocate on behalf of the rest of the
community facing housing instability.
This is an opportunity for the voters
to stand with their neighbors, their
teachers, the workers in the coffee
shops, the public workers and say we
want to keep these people in their community, he said.
Cornell agreed, and said she believes
the environment is right for such policies to receive support in Burlingame.
If it doesnt pass this year, I dont
think you will be able to pass it, she
said. People are really aware of the
problem, especially with Marie Hatch
dying. Everybody is realizing how bad
this crisis is in the Bay Area. There is so
much more awareness of it. I think it
will pass.

The task force, which met seven

times over the last six months, had
unanimous support for increasing the
housing stock and community education. But as the council will discuss the
next steps and whether to enact longterm renter protection measures, precautions may be needed to avoid further
harm to those struggling to remain in
their homes, according to the report.
Should the council direct staff to
develop one or more programs [such as
rent regulation, just cause eviction,
mediation program, relocation assistance, minimum lease requirements],
there could be an adverse impact to tenants if property owners preemptively
raise rates to avoid the implementation
of any new regulations. The council
may consider adopting an urgency ordinance to freeze rents and prohibit evictions without just cause to provide staff
time to design the desired program
details and determine implementation
timelines, according to the report.
The 90-day emergency ordinance
would need four votes to pass and go
into effect immediately. There are
exemptions for single-family homes
and condominiums. Another 34 percent

of the citys multi-family residences

would also not be affected as the CostaHawkins Rental Housing Act prohibits
rent control on units constructed after
Feb. 1, 1995.
The consideration has not been without prior discourse. For months, the
council was met with public speakers
telling stories of steep rent increases
and, on Sept. 21, 2015, the council
heard hours of testimony from a variety
of perspectives including those for and
against protection measures before opting to form the task force.
The task force also made a range of
recommendations to help promote
affordability by increasing the housing
stock, encourage homeowners to construct in-law units, restrict short-term
rentals such as Airbnb, work with
school districts to build units for teachers, provide more exemptions from
environmental review, increase building heights as well as density
allowances and more.
The report can be v iewed at city ofsanmateo.org and the meeting will begin 7
p.m. Monday, April 4, at City Hall, 330
W. 20th Av e., San Mateo.

SAN MATEO DAILY
JOURNAL

The Millbrae City Council,

Planning Commission, and
staff invite interested residents and businesses to
participate in a community
workshop on Monday, April
11th from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
at the Chetcuti Room, 450
Poplar Avenue. The focus of
the workshop is to establish
a shared vision for the future
of Millbrae. This is the first of
several workshops for the
General Plan Update.
The City of Millbrae has begun a two-year process to
update the General Plan,
which was last adopted in
1998. The General Plan is
the Citys blueprint that
guides decision making for
land use, transportation, infrastructure, community design, environmental issues,
and other important topics
that impact the community.
The General Plan is a longrange planning document
that will look ahead to 2040.
As a part of the General
Plan Update, the City will also prepare a Priority Development Area Specific Plan
for the Downtown and transit
station area, as well as an
Active Transportation Plan
for improved bike and pedestrian facilities.
A successful General Plan
will reflect the communitys
values and priorities. Extensive community input is
needed to confirm those values and priorities and establish a vision for the future.
The City of Millbrae needs
as many voices as possible
contributing to this process.
The City encourages all
those interested in helping
prepare a new plan for Millbraes future to attend the
community workshop and to
participate in the Online Forum (accessible through the
General Plan website at
www.Millbrae2040.com).
Additional information about
the workshop and the General Plan Update is available
on the project website at
www.Millbrae2040.com.

board related to revamping the program in
August or December.
A San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury
report last year critical of the program
prompted the county to conduct a current
evaluation of the program.
Although Haning does offer praise for the
program for the service it provides criminal
defendants who cannot afford to hire their
attorneys, he says the local Bar
Association is not the right group to oversee it.
Haning, in his report, suggests the county hire a chief defender and oversee management and administration of the program.
The chief defender now, he says, lacks
the necessary objective autonomy to protect either the county or the PDPs best
interests since he is hired by and also
serves as executive director of the SMCBA,
many of whose members also serve on the
PDP and derive income therefrom.
John Digiacinto, the current executive
director of the program, did not return calls
from the Daily Journal Thursday to comment on the recommendation.
Since the local Bar Association runs the
program, some lawyers sit on both the

people get ahead.
The state of New York was considering a
similar move.
The income divide has become a key issue
across the U.S., with President Barack Obama
proposing an increase to the federal minimum
wage and the issue getting attention in the
Democratic presidential primary.
Democrats who control both legislative
chambers in California hailed the increase as
a boon to more than 2 million of states poorest workers.
Republicans, however, echoed fears from
business owners and economists that the
annual increases eventually tied to inflation will compound Californias image as
hostile to business.
The Assembly passed SB3 with a 48-26
vote. The Senate followed, 26-12.
The increases would start with a boost from
$10 to $10.50 on Jan. 1. Businesses with 25
or fewer employees would have an extra year
to comply. Increases of $1 an hour would
come every January until 2022. The governor
could delay increases in times of budgetary or
economic downturns.

Bars board and the PDP panel.

Haning 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.
The original intent of program was to
spread responsibility for indigent criminal
defense among as many qualified bar members as possible who were willing to accept
a limited number of PDP cases at the scheduled rates with the understanding that their
willingness to do so would not result in
their being overburdened with such work,
Haning writes in his report.
He discovered, however, that several
PDP panel members appear to be working
nearly full time on PDP matters.
It may be an efficient way to do business,
he said, but inhibits the growth of expertise new lawyers should develop.
It can also lead to conflicts of interest, he
said.
When panel members who sit on the
SMCBAs board of directors earn significant income from the PDP, the potential for
serious conflicts of interest are obvious.
We were repeatedly told that the board fails
to provide any significant oversight of the
program to eliminate such conflicts and

that some individual board members can be

abusive and engage in self promotion visa-vis the PDP. For an organization that is
providing a very important public service
and entrusted with the management of substantial public funds, this is unacceptable,
Haning wrote in the report.
Most counties in the state have their own
public defender programs staffed by county
employees similar in structure to a district
attorneys office. Other counties use a contract system with a private law firm to represent criminal defendants.
Private defender programs use a pool of
lawyers who are essentially independent
contractors. San Mateo County has contracted with the local bar association since
1968 to provide the service. The current
contract this year between the county and
bar association is $18.5 million.
It is estimated the contract with the bar
association saves the county about $1.5
million a year versus having its own public
defender program.
In July, the San Mateo County Civil
Grand Jury reported that the PDP program
lacks proper evaluation and that it cannot
prove it meets with state and federal guidelines to provide competent counsel for
poor defendants.
San Mateo County is the only in the state
with a population of more than 500,000
that utilizes a public defender program.
According to the civil grand jury report,

the agreement with the Bar and county

allows for contract evaluations at any time
but none were conducted for nearly a decade
between 2003 and 2012.
Last years report prompted the county to
conduct the current program evaluation.
To [e]nsure that the PDPs sole function
is limited to the provision of indigent
defense services, guarantee its independence and provide financial accountability
for the county we recommend that the selection of the chief defender be made by the
county, Haning wrote in the report.
He does not recommend the county to go
the public defender route like most other
large counties or to contract with a private
firm. Instead, he wants to maintain the PDP
essentially as it currently operates but
under the countys oversight rather than the
bar association.
Haning also offers some recommendations if the county continues to contract
with the bar association which 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. Haning recommends
that the panel be open to all qualified members of the local bar association.
He also reports that the PDP is overstaffed.
Haning submitted the evaluation to the
county Dec. 8, 2015, but the Daily Journal
did not obtain it until Thursday.

wage is tied with Massachusetts for the highest among states. Only Washington, D.C., at
$10.50 per hour is higher.
Los Angeles, Seattle and other cities have
recently approved $15 minimum wages,
while Oregon officials plan to increase the
minimum to $14.75 an hour in cities and
$12.50 in rural areas by 2022.
In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state
lawmakers continued to negotiate Thursday
over Cuomos proposal to gradually raise the
states minimum wage from $9 to $15 by the
end of 2018 in New York City and by mid2021 elsewhere in the state.
Brown, a Democrat, was previously reluctant to raise the base wage. He negotiated the
deal with labor unions to head off competing
labor-backed November ballot initiatives
that would have imposed swifter increases
without some of the safeguards included in the
legislation. Brown now says the most populous states fast-growing economy can
absorb the raises without the problems predicted by opponents.
About 2.2 million Californians now earn
the minimum wage. The University of
California, Berkeley, Center for Labor
Research and Education, projected the
increase would have a ripple effect for those
whose wages would increase to keep pace.
The researchers project it would increase
pay for 5.6 million Californians by an average of 24 percent.

WHAT WE DONT KNOW

Its tough to predict the number of workers making more than minimum wage who
will seek or receive increased pay after the

an hour more than $2 below the $7.25
