As San Mateos new permanent
city manager, Larry Patterson will
have one unique responsibility
lling his own shoes.
The Public Works director who
has been serving as the interim
city manager since November will
now be charged with picking his
replacement.
Thats advantageous to the city
because Larry will know what
skills are necessary, said Mayor
Robert Ross.
Those are skills that Patterson
holds himself and a large reason
why Ross said city ofcials agreed
that the best person for the job
was the one who has been doing it
for four months.
Its a totality of things. Larry
has truly made
himself an
invaluable asset
to the city,
Ross said.

Amember of a Norteo-afliated
street gang pleaded guilty in feder-
al court Thursday to four counts of
attempted murder in connection
with a 2010 triple-fatal shooting
in South San Francisco that target-
ed a group of men perceived to be
rival gangmembers.
But under a plea bargain, federal
prosecutors will drop charges that
the defendant, Justin Whipple,
21, of San Bruno, murdered the
three young men who died in the
shooting.
Whipple was one of four mem-
bers of the 500 Block/C Street
Gang in South San Francisco who
were charged with the drive-by
shooting attack on seven young
men in South San Francisco on
Dec. 22, 2010.
The shooting happened near the
intersection of Eighth Lane and
Linden Avenue at about 7:15 p.m.
that day.
Two victims, 18-year-old Omar
Cortez and 19-year-old Gonzalo
Avalos, died at the scene and a
third, 20-year-old Hector Flores,
succumbed to his wounds later at
San Francisco General Hospital.
Three others were wounded, and
the seventh victim targeted was
not hit by the gunre, according
to prosecutors.
One other defendant, Joseph
Ortiz Jr., 23, of South San
Francisco, pleaded guilty last year
to 25 counts including the three
murders and was sentenced by U.S.
District Judge Susan Illston to ve
consecutive life terms. The other
two men accused in the murders are
awaiting trial.

Two San Francisco Bay Area men
were in custody on suspicion of
manufacturing and selling large
quantities of explosives, authori-
ties said Thursday.
Marc Steven Ormando, 47, of
Pacica and Sean Patrick Gunther,
37, of San Pablo were arrested
March 6 and face felony charges,
including possession of a destruc-
tive device and reckless and mali-
cious possession in a public or
private place, police Sgt. Danielle
Newman said.
It was unclear what the men
planned to do with the explosives,
she said.
The arrests followed a months-
long undercover operation that
began after a device was found in a
popular nightclub district in San
Francisco.
Surveillance video eventually
led investigators to the suspects,
who apparently built and sold

More red-light ticket refunds
Nearly 7,000 drivers given red-
light camera tickets were set to
receive full refunds as the city of
South San Francisco reverted to send-
ing warnings, it was announced the
week of March 14, 2009.
Earlier that year, South San
Francisco discovered it
never ratied the
enforcement contract for
two red-light cameras
installed in July at
Westborough Boulevard and El
Camino Real and Hickey Boulevard
and El Camino Real. The contract was
ratied in January 2009, nullifying
tickets issued before Jan. 27. The city
led to dismiss tickets generated
between Jan. 27 through March 10.
From March 11 forward, warning tick-
ets were to be issued until at least
Wednesday, April 14 when the city
was to hold a public hearing on
whether to keep the cameras in place.
Police merger analysis approved
Millbrae and San Bruno took a step
toward sharing police services the
week of March 14, 2009, when both
city councils voted to hire a consult-
ant to analyze what such a partner-
ship would look like.
On Tuesday of that week, the
Millbrae and San Bruno city councils
approved a contract with Municipal
Resource Group, LLC to study further
options for sharing police services.
Each city was to pay
$27,000 toward the
contract charging the
Municipal Resource
Group to examine cur-
rent services and evaluate
realistic changes for shared services,
according to staff reports by Millbrae
City Manager Marcia Raines and San
Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson.
City to trim from budget
Belmont faced a $1.3 million ongo-
ing decit and tasked its department
heads with cutting 7.5 percent from
their respective budgets, it was
announced the week of March 14,
2009.
Nearly $600,000 in budget reduc-
tions was identied for the police
department for the remainder of that
year and for scal year 2011. The city
was to save about $360,000 by not
lling a vacant police ofcer position
and lead dispatcher position. In total,
the city identied about $860,000 in
department reductions for the remain-
der of that year and $909,000 for s-
cal year 2011.
Colleges seek parcel tax
Residents countywide were to be
asked to consider a $34
annual parcel tax to sup-
port three community col-
leges in June 2009 after
the San Mateo County
Community College District Board of
Trustees voted unanimously the week
of March 14, 2009, to seek the meas-
ure.
On Wednesday of that week, the San
Mateo County Community College
Board of Trustees unanimously sup-
ported placing a four-year, $34 annual
parcel tax on a special June 8, 2009,
ballot. The measure was to generate
about $6 million annually for the dis-
trict. It required two-thirds approval
to pass.

Belmont woman victim
of tax payment scam
A Belmont woman was the vic-
tim of a telephone scam earlier
this week, from suspects claiming
to be from the Internal Revenue
Service, according to police.
On Tuesday, March 11, a 51-
year-old Belmont woman contact-
ed Belmont police fearing that she
had been the victim of a scam ear-
lier in the day. The victim told
officers that she had received a
telephone call several hours earli-
er, from a male who identied him-
self as calling from the IRS. The
suspect told the woman that she
owed $3,000 and only had a limit-
ed time to pay or should would be
arrested. The suspect told the
woman to go to a store and pur-
chase $3,000 worth of gift cards
and call back with the card num-
bers. The victim did as she was
instructed, but then became wor-
ried about what had transpired and
contacted Belmont police, accord-
ing to police.
Ofcers attempted to stop the
transactions, but were unable to do
so. Investigators are looking into
the incident, but dont have any
suspects at this time, according to
police.
Gift cards are essentially cash
and difcult to trace said Belmont
police Capt. Patrick Halleran.
Police throughout the Peninsula
have reported similar scams
recently and the IRS issued its own
warning earlier in the week.
Anyone who owes taxes or has a
payment issue should call the IRS
directly at (800) 829-1040. Police
advise anyone who thinks they
may have been a victim of a crime
to contact them.

NAACP hosts banquet: Event to honor three community members
The Bay Area had the lowest February home sales tally in six years.
SAN DIEGO California home
prices rose slightly in February
from the previous month, while
low inventories kept a lid on sales,
a research rm said Thursday.
The median sales price was
$355,000, up 0.6 percent from
$353,000 in January and up 22.8
percent from $289,000 in February
2013, DataQuick said. It was the
24th straight annual price increase.
There were 25,680 new and exist-
ing houses and condominiums sold
in the state during February, down
0.6 percent from the previous
month and down 10.6 percent from
the same period last year.
Sellers have been scarce, despite
the big price increases. There was a
4.3-month supply of single-family
homes for sale in the state in
January, up from a 3.5-month sup-
ply a year earlier but still below
what is considered a normal market,
according to the latest gures from
the California Association of
Realtors.
The median sales price in the San
Francisco Bay Area was $540,000
in February, up 2.9 percent from
$525,000 in January and up 33.3
percent from $405,000 a year earli-
er, DataQuick said. The median
sales price in the nine-county
region has risen from year-ago lev-
els for the last 23 months.
There were 4,963 homes sold in
the Bay Area, up 5.7 percent from
January but down 8.2 percent from
the same period last year. It was the
lowest February sales tally in six
years.
California home sales fall in February

Newly uncovered surveillance video
prompted a mistrial Thursday in the
second trial of a South San Francisco
motel clerk whose rst conviction for
allegedly groping and attempting to
rape a maid was overturned because a
judge found that race had been improp-
erly inserted into the case.
Navjit Singh, 26, was in the middle
of jury selection yesterday when his
defense attorney John Halley success-
fully sought a mistrial because he felt
some portion of the tape which was
only recently able to be viewed might
be helpful to his client, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Anew trial date will be set March 18.
The tape in question is footage of the
Ramada Inn areas like the hallway,
Wagstaffe said.
Singh was a front desk clerk at the
South San Francisco
motel on Sept. 9,
2011, when the
woman, a Spanish-
only speaking maid,
told authorities he
entered the room
where she was clean-
ing a bathtub to see
if it was available.
The woman
reported that he spoke to her but she
didnt understand what he said and
replied What happened? because that
was the only phrase she knew that
might be appropriate.
According to prosecutors, Singh
grabbed the woman and put his hands
down her shirt before forcing her onto
a bed to pull off her clothing. After a
few minutes of the victim screaming,
Singh reportedly got up and apolo-
gized with his hands in a praying pose
before returning to the front desk. The
woman told another maid but asked her
not to tell the manager and police
because she was afraid of losing her
job and being deported back to El
Salvador.
In November 2012, a jury deliberat-
ed three days before convicting Singh
of attempted rape, assault with the
intent to rape, sexual battery and false
imprisonment. The following April,
Judge Jonathan Karesh heard the
defense argument for a new trial on
several grounds. Karesh didnt nd any
prosecutorial misconduct or defense
incompetence but felt that the race
issue had deprived Singh of due
process and set aside the verdicts.
The second trial began earlier this
year. The video that sparked the mistri-
al was always in the prosecutions cus-
tody but nobody could get them to
open until now, Wagstaffe said.
Singh has been out of custody on
$100,000 bail.
Mistrial declared in attempted motel rape case

Trio of robberies bring five years prison for pair
Two Norteo gangmembers who com-
mittee three armed robberies of Redwood
City convenience stores within three
hours last May were each sentenced
Thursday to ve years in prison.
Miguel Gonzales Alvarado, 19, and
Osvaldo Alonzo Lopez, 22, faced up to
12 years and 13 years in prison, respec-
tively, after pleading no contest to three
felony counts of robbery with a gang
enhancement. Instead, each was sen-
tenced to ve-year terms, with credit of
nearly a year, and ordered to register as a
gangmember.
In each robbery, Lopez entered the
stores with what appeared to be a rie but
was later identified as a BB gun and
demanded money from clerks. Alvarado
served as getaway driver and lookout in a
stolen car. The stores robbed between the
hours of 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. May 28, 2013,
were the two 7-Elevens on Woodside
Road and Broadway and the Food Stop on Whipple Avenue.
Drunk driver sentenced for crashing into minivan
A 69-year-old San Francisco man with three prior drunk
driving convictions in the last decade was sentenced to four
years in prison for driving head-on into a minivan carrying a
family of four while intoxicated.
Jose Alberto Martinez had been free on a $100,000 bail
bond as long as he wore an alcohol detection anklet but was
immediately taken into custody Thursday after sentencing.
The crash happened about 9:10 p.m. Sept. 30, 2012, on
Sister Cities Boulevard in South San Francisco. Prosecutors
say Martinez, who was later determined to have a .15 percent
blood alcohol level, drove his Chevrolet Blazer into the mini-
van containing a couple and their two children. The mother,
who was driving, tried swerving out of the way but couldnt
and she and her 12-year-old son sustained injuries to their
back, neck, chest and shoulders. The father and daughter were
uninjured. Aresponding police ofcer found Martinez outside
his vehicle smelling of alcohol and barely able to stand,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
An empty beer can was located inside the Blazer but
Martinez allegedly rst claimed not to have been drinking and
then changed his stories to having consumed two beers.
In addition to his four year prison term for felony drunk
driving with a prior, Martinez was also deemed a habitual
trafc offender and his drivers license revoked.

AFaireld man who allegedly bit off
part of the nose of his infant son
because the child was crying has been
arrested, police said Thursday.
Police were called to an apartment on
the 1000 block of Alaska Avenue short-
ly after 8 a.m. after a hysterical
female called reporting that her baby
was bleeding from the nose, according
to Sgt. Troy Oviatt.
Officers arriving at the apartment
found a 1-month-old infant bleeding
from the face. Anum-
ber of family mem-
bers were present
including the childs
18-year-old father,
Joshua Cooper, and
17-year-old mother,
Oviatt said.
The baby was
taken to North Bay
medical Center for
treatment, where doctors determined the
babys nose had been severed and the
child had suffered possible head trauma.
The child was transferred to
Childrens Hospital Oakland, where
doctors determined he had suffered a
skull fracture and a brain hemorrhage,
and had lost one-third of his nose,
Oviatt said.
The boy is currently in stable condi-
tion, Oviatt said.
Investigators arrested Cooper on sus-
picion of child cruelty and aggravated
mayhem after finding that he had
allegedly bitten the babys nose off
because he was frustrated at the childs
crying, Oviatt said.

Donnelly says campaign
strong despite turmoil
SACRAMENTO Republican gubernato-
rial candidate Tim Donnelly says the sudden
departure of his campaign
manager will not hamper
his push to energize
activists during this week-
ends GOP convention.
The state assemblyman
from the San Bernardino
Mountains community of
Twin Peaks said Thursday
that he expects to get
through the June primary
with strong support from
the partys conservative base.
Donnelly, a Tea Party favorite and former
minuteman border vigilante, is a strong gun
rights supporter and social conservative.
Responding to questions about his elec-
tability, Donnelly criticized the Republican
establishment for supporting candidates he
described as safe, moderate and wealthy.
Donnellys opponent, Neel Kashkari, is a
former Goldman Sachs employee and U.S.
Treasury ofcial.
Explosion a reminder
of NYCs aging infrastructure
NEW YORK Even while the cause
remains unknown, a deadly blast that leveled
two buildings served by a 127-year-old gas
main has provided a jarring reminder of just
how old and vulnerable much of the infra-
structure is in New York and many other cities
nationwide.
A detailed report issued only a day before
Wednesdays explosion in East Harlem esti-
mates that $47 billion is needed for repairs
and replacement over the next ve years to
spare New York from havoc.
Nationally, the projected bill for
bridges, highways, mass transit and more
is almost incalculable. Just upgrading the
nations water and wastewater systems is pro-
jected to cost between $3 trillion and $5 tril-
lion over the next 20 years, according to the
Competitive Enterprise Institute, a conserva-
tive Washington think tank.

WASHINGTON Seeking to inuence
workers incomes where possible, President
Barack Obama signed a presidential memo-
randum Thursday directing the Labor
Department to devise new overtime rules that
would make more workers eligible for time-
and-a-half pay for their extra hours of work.
The memorandum was one of the most far-
reaching executive actions taken by the pres-
ident this year. The rules would be aimed at
salaried workers who make more than $455 a
week and those who are ineligible for over-
time because they are designated as manage-
ment even though their supervisory duties
are minimal.
Unfortunately, today millions of
American arent getting the extra pay they
deserve, Obama said during a White House
ceremony attended by workers and employ-
ers.
The memorandum does not specify what
the rules or new salary thresholds should
be, leaving the rule-making to the Labor
Department. A proposed rule is not
expected until the fall.
The memo, however, underscores Obamas
pledge to bypass Congress when necessary
and act on his own on economic initiatives.
For instance, even as he calls for Congress to
increase the federal minimum wage from
$7.25 an hour to $10.10, he has taken exec-
utive action to increase the minimum wage
for federal contractors.
Advocates of new regulations on overtime
say millions of workers could benet. Critics
say it could overburden companies, especial-
ly small business, and actually cost jobs.
At issue in the overtime initiative are regu-
lations that create exceptions to legal
requirements that employers pay time-and-a-
half for time worked beyond a 40-hour work
week. Currently, salaried workers making
more than $455, or $23,660 a year, arent
eligible for overtime if some of their work is
considered supervisory even though many
spend most of their day doing manual, cleri-
cal or technical work with few management
duties.
If youre making $23,000 typically
youre not high in management, Obama
said.
President Obama signs memo to
strengthen overtime pay rules
WASHINGTON A fight between the
Senate and the CIAover whether crimes were
committed in the handling of sensitive clas-
sified material appears unlikely to be
resolved in the courts, legal experts say.
The simmering dispute erupted in public
this week when Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-
Calif., accused the CIA of improperly
searching and removing documents from a
computer network used by Senate investiga-
tors to compile a report on the George W.
Bush-era interrogation
program for suspected
terrorists. CIA Director
John Brennan has denied
that the CIA hacked into
the computers but says an
audit was necessary to
determine whether Senate
staffers had improperly
obtained sensitive CIA
documents.
The matter has landed
in the lap of the Justice Department, which
has been asked to investigate whether laws
were broken.
But legal experts say prosecutors will
likely be hesitant to wade into a separation-
of-powers dispute between two branches of
government that involves a muddled area of
the law and raises as many policy questions
as it does legal ones. The Justice
Department receives far more requests to
open criminal probes than it chooses to
pursue. Federal courts, too, are reluctant to
referee power disputes between the two
other branches of government.

WASHINGTON In a last-minute bid to
stave off a new chapter in the East-West cri-
sis over Ukraine, Secretary of State John
Kerry warned Russia on Thursday that it
faces immediate and very serious sanc-
tions if it annexes Ukraines strategic
Crimea region.
His comments echoed those of German
Chancellor Angela Merkel, who hours earli-
er said Russia risks massive political and
economic consequences if it refuses to soft-
en its stance against the new government in
Kiev.
The warnings from the West served as a
last attempt to head off a confrontation
over Crimea, which holds a vote Sunday on
whether to break off from Ukraine and per-
haps join Russia. The showdown has been
cast as a struggle for the future of Ukraine, a
country with the size and population simi-
lar to France, which is caught between its
long-standing ties and traditions with
Russia and more progressive and economic
opportunities in the
West.
Kerry was headed to
London later Thursday in
his last meeting with
Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov before the
Crimea vote. In a brief
phone call Thursday
morning, Kerry under-
scored U.S. concerns
about the Crimea vote and
made clear there will be
costs if Russia continues
to escalate the crisis,
according to a senior
State Department ofcial
familiar with the discus-
sion. The ofcial was not
authorized to discuss the
situation by name and
spoke on condition of
anonymity.
Kerry and Lavrov have spoken almost
daily as the Ukraine crisis has unfolded but
have yet to nd any common ground.

LOS ANGELES About 924,000 people
have picked insurance plans through
Californias health care exchange as the race
continues to attract more Latinos and
younger people ahead of the enrollment
deadline later this month.
Weve done a good job in this state,
but we are not satisfied. We need to get
more people insured, Peter Lee, execu-
tive director of Covered California, said
Thursday during a rally at the historic
Olvera Street Mexican marketplace in
downtown Los Angeles.
Latinos and young adults have been hard-
est to reach since enrollment began under
the Affordable Care Act. Of those enrolled in
Covered California, 22 percent are Latino
while 26 percent are between 18 and 34
years old.
During the next two weeks, enrollment
drives will be held in schools, libraries and
churches in a last-ditch effort to lure these
two groups before the March 31 deadline.
Insurance companies prize young adults
because they balance out the cost of cover-
ing older people who tend to be sicker and
require more medical attention.

OPINION 9
County controller
candidate filing
Editor,
I read Michelle Durands article
(Controller candidacy in question
in the March 12 edition of the Daily
Journal) regarding Joe Galligans
lawsuit against San Mateo County in
connection with the countys failure
to uphold election laws with regard
to placing candidates on the ballot.
Instead of reviewing the qualifica-
tions of the candidate in question,
the county instructed Mr. Galligan
that he had to file a lawsuit. I am
disappointed to hear that no new
policies were put into place to
immediately remedy situations such
as this. If any resident of San Mateo
County has a question about the
qualifications of a person who has
filed to run for public office, those
questions should be met with
answers from our elections officials.
When a person files to become a
candidate it is in the best interest of
the public and the candidates that
the elections officials verify that
the candidates are qualified to run for
office. It is also the law.
While I understand it could be a bit
uncomfortable to have to tell some-
one that they do not qualify, that is
the legal obligation of the county
election officials to require that can-
didates provide documents that
prove that the candidate is qualified.
Why did the county choose to place
the burden of proof and expense of a
lawsuit upon a private citizen?

Cancel the boat thing, Noah
Editor,
In his March 13 letter Here we go
again, Richard Bortolin correctly
points out that, during the 1977
drought, people in Los Angeles were
a bit more relaxed about water usage
than up here where it rains more.
That is true, but it helps to know, as
maybe Rich and his wife do not, that
Los Angeles recycles more than 70
percent of its water. That area would
still be a dry desert if it werent for
their serious concern over water
availability, recycling and
Mullholland.
During that drought, in San Jose
we noticed many of our neighbors
watering the lawns and washing
their cars just as they always had
and, like the simpletons today and
their view of global warming, told
us the drought was all a hoax.

H
ow do we improve
Californias public
schools? Ask that question
in a chamber full of lawmakers, and
the answer might go something like
do a better job of teaching.
Ask a teacher, and the answer
might go something like spend
more tax dollars on public educa-
t i on.
Ask a dozen hard-working taxpay-
ers, and the answer might go some-
thing like how should we know?
Making our public schools better
may be a complicated issue, but not
for the California Education
Coalition, a group of school board
members, education administrators
and unions. For them, its not at all
complicated. Just spend more on
public schools.
That was the message delivered
recently to the state Senate budget
subcommittee by representatives
from the Education Coalition. They
were quite forthright in sharing their
opinion with lawmakers, and it
boiled down to this:
If California wants to be among
the ranks of the 10 states that spend
the most on public education, law-
makers which means taxpayers
would somehow have to spend $36
billion more each year than is now
spent annually on K-12 public
schools.
Experts reckon this state is spend-
ing about $10,000 per student per
year, which seems a princely sum
until you learn thats about $6,000
per student per year less than the
average of the 10 top-spending
states. New York state, for example,
is spending just less than $20,000
per student per year on K-12 public
schools.
Many people, especially many of
those aforementioned hard-working
taxpayers, remain doubtful that
throwing money at education will
solve the problem of lackluster stu-
dent performance. California has
been spending more and more on
public education through the years,
only to see this states academic
rankings continue to drop.
California public school students
were once among the nations elite,
but these days are below average in
almost every academic discipline.
We dont have the answer to that
question of how to improve public
education. We only know it must be
done.
For proof of that, one need travel
no further than the nearest state
prison. Californias prison system
is seriously overcrowded, to such an
extent that the federal government
has stepped in to mandate change.
Yet, we keep throwing tax money at
the prison system.
In fact, if you really want a tough
question, how about this why
does California spend about $60,000
a year to house a convicted felon,
but only about $10,000 a year to
teach kids things they need to know
that could conceivably keep them
away from a life of crime?
Just in an intuitive sense, it would
seem to be far more practical to
spend the money up front, teaching
children to read, write and add, than
at the dead end of a state prison.
So, perhaps it turns out to be an
issue of priorities, and Californias
priorities seem to be more than a lit-
tle confused. Is it possible that any
thinking Californian would rather
spend $60,000 a year warehousing
an inmate, than $10,000 a year edu-
cating a child?
Still, throwing money at public
educations deficiencies hasnt
solved the problem. So, what should
we do?
The best place to start would be to
rewrite the states massive education
code, which is outdated and no
longer works. And we need to be
more involved in supporting and
helping community schools. A
greater citizen participation could be
a magic potion, and maybe educators
wouldnt feel like theyre working in
a vacuum.
This is important, and we need to
talk about it.
Pop quiz concerning education
A new form of
redevelopment?
L
ast week, I wrote about the local impact of
Democrats losing the supermajority of the state
Senate because of the leaves of absences of two
senators for a federal corruption indictment and a convic-
tion for voter fraud and perjury.
It appeared as if an idea to lower the threshold for new
local taxes was dead, but, thanks to the ever-changing
mechanisms of Sacramento, Gov. Jerry Brown has plans
to widen the definition of Infrastructure Finance Districts
to include local projects like roads and sewers, parks and
libraries, infill developments and housing. The proposal
only needs a majority vote in the state Legislature
because its part of the budget and because its a statutory
change, not a constitutional change.
The idea behind the districts
expansion is to provide a form
of replacement for redevelop-
ment agencies which the gov-
ernor dissolved in 2011, in
part to help the state meet its
budget. According to an analy-
sis of the proposal, cities
would be able to form the dis-
trict that could overlap former
redevelopment agency areas
with 55 percent voter approval
after payment of all former
redevelopment agencies obli-
gations to the state. The state
Controllers Office would have
oversight, which is a feature redevelopment agencies did
not have.
Cities have been looking for a replacement for redevel-
opment agencies since their dissolution and, in late
February, an initiative to re-establish redevelopment
agencies as is entered circulation for the November bal-
lot.
In Redwood City, city officials are beginning the
process to create a community benefit improvement dis-
trict for property owners to help pay for downtown serv-
ices beyond what the city provides such as extra securi-
t y, sidewalk cleaning and promotion. In Millbrae, the
city is beginning to form a business improvement dis-
trict that would be funded by merchants and/or property
owners. Part of the rationale is the loss of redevelop-
ment money. Districts focused on merchants, rather than
property owners, have been successfully created in other
cities. An effort in downtown San Mateo to create a
Property Owners Business Improvement District, into
which property owners would pay, stalled, however.
Redevelopment agencies worked by declaring an area
blighted, and allowing a city to retain all the tax money
generated in that area for improvements. Those improve-
ments were up to the discretion of the city, but generally
focused on economic development and housing. In some
areas, there were complaints that the areas were not
blighted enough and that it was a way to keep tax rev-
enue from other groups like school districts that could
have used the money. In San Mateo, the city engaged in
partnerships with school districts to alleviate that con-
cern. The new gym at San Mateo High School was paid
for, in part, with redevelopment money. And without
redevelopment money, there is no way the downtown
San Mateo movie theater could have been constructed.
Cities were greatly upset by the sudden loss of redevel-
opment agencies and have been angling for a replace-
ment. Abig catch with Infrastructure Finance Districts is
the two-thirds voter approval threshold, and even if that
is lowered to 55 percent, it may be a hard sell in areas
where there is mistrust of government spending or lack
of clarity of the benefit. There is legislation that would
remove the voter threshold altogether, but its hard to
see where that may end up.
So cities wait and see what Sacramento ends up with,
and if Infrastructure Finance Districts will be the answer
to the loss of redevelopment agencies. In the meantime,
many are exploring alternative efforts, like Redwood
City, to draw new revenue for extras.

Congratulations to Larry Patterson, who was named
Thursday San Mateo city manager after filling the inter-
im role for four months beginning when Susan Loftus
retired. One notable item about his contract is that he
wont be able to accrue unlimited sick time that can be
paid out upon his exit. Patterson has been with the city
for 13 years and knows its ins and outs. While it may
have been tempting to go with someone fresh, some-
times the experience that comes from being around a
while is a tangible asset that should be appreciated.

Big movers
By Alex Veiga
Increasing worries about Chinas
economy and rising tensions over
Ukraine rattled the stock market
Thursday.
Investors sold stocks and shifted to
safer assets like bonds. The Dow
Jones industrial average fell more
than 200 points and Treasury prices
rose.
It was the worst day for the market
in six weeks and the fourth loss in a
row for the Dow. The plunge was a
sharp contrast to the relatively quiet
trading Monday through Wednesday
following a record-setting run last
week.
The data out of China has been
weak. The retail sector in America
seems to be a total disaster. Its
enough, combined with whats going
on in Ukraine, to get people a little
bit nervous and sell, said Ian Winer,
director of trading at Wedbush
Securities.
The Dow Jones industrial average
slid 231.19 points, or 1.4 percent,
to 16,108.89. The S&P 500 index
fell 21.86 points, or 1.2 percent, to
close at 1,846.34. The Nasdaq com-
posite dropped 62.91 points, or 1.5
percent, to 4,260.42.
The last time the market had a big-
ger decline was Feb. 3, when the Dow
sank 326 points, or 2.1 percent.
Thursdays slide erased the S&P 500
indexs gains for the year and extended
the Dows year-to-date loss to 2.8 per-
cent. The Nasdaq is still up 2 percent
so far this year.
Nine of the 10 sectors in the S&P
500 index fell. The technology sector
lost the most. Utilities bucked the
trend, rising 0.9 percent. Investors
tend to buy those stocks when they
want to reduce risk and hold stable
companies that pay steady dividends.
Bond prices rose as traders sought
safety. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note declined to 2.65 percent
from 2.73 percent a day earlier as bond
prices rose.
Concerns over China worsened
Thursday after government figures
there showed industrial production
rose in the rst two months of the year
at a rate that was lower than analysts
were expecting. Retail sales growth
also fell short of estimates.
At this stage, investors are linking
these negative data points coming out
of China and they dont like what they
see, said Lawrence Creatura, a portfo-
lio manager at Federated Investors.
Even small hiccups there can have
large implications for investors.
Stocks rose slightly in the early
going, then turned lower in late morn-
ing trading after President Barack
Obama issued remarks after meeting
with Ukraines new prime minister at
the White House. Obama said that if
Russia continues an aggressive path
in Ukraine, the United States and other
countries will be forced to apply
costs to Moscow.
Citizens in the Ukrainian region of
Crimea are set to vote on joining
Russia on Sunday. The U.S. and
European Union say the referendum
violates Ukraines constitution and
international law. Russia has said it
will respect the results.
Secretary of State John Kerry told a
Senate committee on Thursday that
Moscow should expect the U.S. and
Europe to take measures against it
should Russia act on a vote by Crimea
to join Russia.
The hardening of the rhetoric in
these communications is a change,
Creatura said.
Winer said that investors werent
panicked.
The selling is pretty complacent,
he said. This is more about how peo-
ple are positioned in the market.
Dow posts fourth loss in a row as stocks slide
SpaceX supply run to space station postponed
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. The next supply run to the
International Space Station has been delayed.
SpaceX was scheduled to launch a cargo ship from
Cape Canaveral, Fla., before dawn on Sunday. But on
Thursday, the private company said it needed more time
and postponed the launch for two weeks, until March 30.
The unmanned capsule named Dragon holds about 2
tons of supplies and experiments. It will also take up a
pair of legs for the humanoid robot at the space station.
Business brief
By Mae Anderson
NEW YORK Amazon is betting
that shoppers will pay $20 more for
its popular Prime two-day free ship-
ping and video streaming service of
movies and TV shows.
The mega online retailer said
Thursday that it is raising the price
of Prime to $99 a year as it seeks to
offset rising costs to ship products
to customers. Its the first price
hike since Amazon rolled out the
service in 2005.
The move could please investors at a
time when Amazon continues to face
pressure to boost its bottom line after
years of furious growth. As more
Americans shop online, Amazon has
spent heavily to expand its business
into new areas from movie stream-
ing to e-readers and groceries often
at the expense of its prot .
But the price increase also threatens
to scare away online shoppers who
tend to resist fee hikes. The company,
which warned it would probably raise
the price of Prime by $20 to $40 in
January, is bolstering the membership
program by adding more items avail-
able for two-day shipping and rolling
out a greater selection of streaming TV
shows and movies.
Still, online shoppers dont always
react favorably to price hikes. For
example, when Netix tried to raise its
annual subscription fee in 2011. The
online video streaming service had to
do an about-face after widespread cus-
tomer backlash and a jarring stock
plunge of 80 percent from its highs.

NEWYORK Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg says he has called
President Barack Obama to express his
frustration over what he says is long-

Posting on his Facebook page

Thursday marked the end of the second
week of the Peninsula Athletic League boys
tennis season and yet it was already a must-
win match for Burlingame when the
Panthers hosted Mills.
Without a league win to their credit, the
Panthers were in danger of all but falling out
of the Bay Division race: Menlo-Atherton
is undefeated and second-place Woodside
has only one loss and has already beaten
Burlingame this season.
The Panthers also dropped a match to
rival San Mateo.
I cant remember the last time we lost to
San Mateo, said Burlingame coach Bill
Smith.
Thursday, however, Burlingame put it all
together to record a 5-2 victory over the
Vikings.
True to Smiths philosophy of using
strong doubles play to win matches, the
Panthers swept all three doubles matches
and added wins in two of the four singles
matches to notch their rst Bay Division
win of the season.
Smith said he has 11 or 12 guys who can
all vie for the six spots available for the
three doubles teams, which can be both
good and bad. Ideally, a coach wants to have
set lineups, especially in the doubles where
chemistry plays such an important role. A
coach would also like to see an established
hierarchy when it comes to his doubles
tandems.
Having 11 or 12 guys in the mix means
no one clearly stands out.
On the other hand, it also ratchets up the
competition among the team.
All the doubles guys can beat each other
in practice, Smith said. Ten to 11 guys
who can beat each other. [Thursday] it was
good. We won all three doubles.
And that was without his strongest dou-
bles teams. Because the Panthers nominal
No. 3 singles player was out, the No. 4 sin-
gles player moved up to No. 3 and half of
the No. 1 doubles team was placed in the No.
4 singles slot.
In the end, it didnt matter much as all
three doubles duos won their matches in
Burlingame gets first league tennis win, beats Mills

CSMs Natalie Saucedo watches her drive to right eld sail over the fence for a grand slam in
the bottom of the third inning of the Bulldogs 8-0, ve-inning win over Monterey Peninsula.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
College of San Mateo softball just keeps
on rolling.
With an 8-0 win over Monterey Peninsula
Thursday, the Bulldogs won their 20th
straight. Sophomore slugger Natalie
Saucedo provided the big swing of the bat,
as the Burlingame grad launched a third-
inning grand slam to put the game on ice for
CSM.
Everything seemed to go the Bulldogs
way, with the exception of a rst-inning
bounder down the third-base line that
clipped the bag to turn an otherwise routine
groundout into a high-bounding base hit.
But even though Monterey would go on to
load the bases in the rst, CSM right-hander
Ashlynne Neil settled down to induce a
harmless groundout to end the inning. The
transfer sophomore would go on to notch
her second complete-game shutout of the
season both of the ve-inning variety by
virtue of the eight-run rule.
CSM (7-0 in Coast North Conference, 24-
1 overall) faced an interesting situation in
the top of the fth after Monterey sopho-
more Alyssa Sargent laced a one-out double
off the right-eld wall. So, with the Lobos
hottest hitter coming to the plate in the per-
son of Beverly Miller, CSM head coach
Nicole Borg opted to issue an intentional
walk in an attempt to keep the eight-run lead
in tact.
And with the Bulldogs just two outs from
notching the landmark victory, Neil got
them both on the very next pitch when
Monterey freshman Rachel DiMaggio hit a
soft liner at CSM second baseman Talisa
Fiame, who nabbed it and tossed to second
to double up Monterey, ending the game for
consecutive win No. 20.
If you can minimize innings at this point
of the season, sometimes its better, Borg
said. Especially when we have a double-
header Saturday and we have to come back
and then we play two conference games next
week. Weve been in games where we
give up that run in the fth inning and
CSM wins 20th in a row

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders got
some good news in free agency Thursday, one
day after voiding top target Rodger Saffolds
contract because of a bad shoulder.
The Raiders signed defensive end Justin Tuck
and linebacker LaMarr Woodley to two-year
deals in an effort to bolster their pass rush.
ESPN reported that Tuck will be paid $11 mil-
lion and Woodleys deal is worth up to $12
million.
The two pass rushers
have combined for 117.5
career sacks, reached dou-
ble gures in a season
seven times and have won
three Super Bowl titles in
their careers.
Tuck joins the Raiders
following nine seasons
with the New York Giants
during which he helped the team win two Super
Bowl titles. Tuck has made
two Pro Bowls and has
60.5 career sacks, 20
forced fumbles and six fum-
ble recoveries in 127 career
games with New York.
Last week, I absolutely
did not see it coming,
Tuck said. It wasnt neces-
sarily on my radar at that
point in time, but every-
thing accelerated pretty
quickly, and Im excited. I really am. I like the
direction that this team is talking about going
in, and I just want to be a part of it.
Woodley, 29, had 57 sacks in seven seasons
in Pittsburgh and helped the Steelers win it all
following the 2008 season.
Woodley struggled with injuries the past
three seasons but was still an effective rusher
when healthy. He ended last season on injured
reserve with a calf injury and the Steelers

COLUMBUS, Ohio Patrick Marleau
scored twice and Joe Pavelski had the lone
shootout goal in the San Jose Sharks 4-3
victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on
Thursday night.
After tying his career high of 66 points
with an assist on Marleaus second goal,
Pavelski deked Sergei
Bobrovsky and roofed a
backhander in the
tiebreaker to give San
Jose its fourth straight
win.
Marleau scored his 27th
and 28th goals. Matt
Nieto also scored and
Logan Couture had two
assists for the Sharks,
who are 8-1-1 in their
last 10 to move into a tie with Anaheim for
the Pacic Division lead.
Backup goalie Alex Stalock made 35
saves, including a spectacular post-to-post
stop on Jack Johnson with seconds remain-
ing in regulation and Columbus on the
power play.
Ryan Johansen, R. J. Umberger and James
Wisniewski scored for the Blue Jackets.
Brandon Dubkinsky added two assists for
Columbus, 17-7-2 since Jan. 1.
After squandering a 2-1 lead early in the
third period, the Blue Jackets tied it on
Wisniewskis slap shot into the top left cor-
ner from the right circle with 4:58 remain-
i ng.
San Jose had scored twice just under 6 min-
utes into the period to take the lead on a few
uncharacteristic plays by Bobrovsky.
Only 15 seconds in, a long rebound off
Bobrovksy sat in the slot and Nieto easily
fired it home. Later on the power play,
Columbus couldnt convert on a two-on-one
leading to a 4-on-1 for the Sharks. Pavelski

Local sports roundup
By Graham Dunbar
LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland Bode
Miller wants to continue racing next season
at the age of 37, even if this campaign left
him disappointed.
A third-place run in a World Cup super-G
on Thursday typied Millers season: Fast
and crowd-pleasing, but errors cost him vic-
tory.
Im frustrated and worn out right now but
I think I have more to do in the sport,
Miller said. I denitely am still competi-
tive. If I can keep my body healthy then I
think the plan is to race next year.
Millers racing skills were clear when he
became the oldest-ever Olympic Alpine
medalist last month, taking bronze in
super-G at Sochi.
On a steep and technically demanding
slope Thursday, no one was faster than
Millers speed check of 101.9 kph (63.3
mph).
Still, he came down 0.57 seconds behind
surprise winner Alexis Pinturault, with
another Frenchman, Thomas Mermillod
Blondin, edging him by one-hundredth.
I had probably two and half seconds,
three seconds, worth of mistakes, in that
run, Miller insisted. That is the way my
season has been. I have had to deal with
that.
Miller took full responsibility for his
race, and a World Cup season that has
brought him four podium nishes but no
addition to his 33 career victories.
It has been such a frustrating time of so
many near-misses and so many really bad,
stupid mistakes that I cant blame anyone
but myself for, he said.
That list includes his top priority races:
The classic World Cup downhill at
Kitzbuehel, Austria, in January and the
Olympic downhill last month.
Miller nished third and eighth, respec-
tively, when the best of his skiing was good
enough to win, and his practice runs left
some racers awe-struck.
Here on Wednesday, Millers nal down-
hill performance this season followed the
same pattern.
He led at the nal time split 0.30 faster
than eventual winner Matthias Mayer of
Austria, the Olympic champion yet a
mistake near the end took him wide into
rough snow which slowed him.
These errors arent little bobbles, they
are like borderline catastrophic, Miller
explained. (Wednesday) I just got so bro-
ken down about halfway down the course I
didnt even care anymore. I wanted to stop.
I didnt even really tuck through the nish
line.
Even standing up straight, he still placed
eighth just 0.62 back.
I really wanted to change that today just
because I think thats not the way to race,
Miller acknowledged. I just wanted to real-
ly stay focused to push every hundredth out
of it that I could, even though I knew I was
going to be out of the course a few times.
I felt good about battling through it,
said the veteran racer, who has started a total
of 32 World Cup and Olympics events this
season after sitting out a year to recover
from knee surgery.
One incentive for returning strong next
season is to race at the Feb. 2-15 world
championships in front of home fans at
Vail-Beaver Creek, Colorado.
Thats for next season, after the current
campaign closes with a giant slalom on
Saturday.
Right now, Miller said, I feel like I
dont want to see ski boots for a little
while.

LAS VEGAS Askia Booker scored 17
points, Xavier Talton added 13 and Colorado
held off California 59-56 in the quarternals
of the Pac-12 tournament on Thursday.
Colorado (23-10) led by as much as 11
before the Bears made a late run to make it
close.
The Buffaloes went ahead 58-54 when
Booker hit two free throws with 12.1 sec-
onds left, but Eli Stalzer only hit 1 of 2 free
throws after Justin Cobbs scored on a layup.
Cal raced down the oor to get off a poten-
tial tying 3-pointer, but Cobbs shot came
up short.
Josh Scott scored 11 points for the
Buffaloes, who will face No. 4 Arizona in
the seminals Friday night.
Cobbs finished with 21 points, five
assists and four rebounds. Tyrone Wallace
added 13 points for Cal (19-13), which shot
5 of 22 from 3-point range.
After Arizona won the rst quarternal in a
blowout, the Buffaloes and Bears faced off
in a matchup of NCAAbubble teams.
Cal lost four of its nal six games, but
earned the Pac-12s fourth seed and a bye in
the tournament by outlasting Colorado in
overtime last Saturday in Berkeley.
Colorado has been inconsistent since
leading scorer Spencer Dinwiddie went
down with a knee injury in January and
closed the regular season with three losses
in four games, putting its NCAAhopes in a
bind.
The Buffaloes got past their rst-round
Pac-12 game, but it was much harder than
anticipated; Colorado never was able to
shake last-place Southern California and
had to grind out a 59-56 win to earn a shot at
Cal.
The Buffaloes were sharp at both ends
early against Cal, building an 11-point lead
midway through. Colorado dominated the
Bears on the glass a 21-12 advantage
did a good job getting out to their shooters,
holding Cal to 2 of 12 from 3-point range to
lead 31-22 at halftime.
Cal quickly chipped Colorados lead down
to three, but the Buffaloes stretched it back
out to 10 by hitting 7 of their rst 10 shots.
The shots stopped falling for a while and
a scoreless drought of 5 minutes allowed Cal
to pull within one after Wallace scored on
three straight layups.
Colorado pulled it out, enhancing its
NCAA tournament chances while likely
sending the Bears to the NIT.

Portions of $60M Texas
stadium may be demolished
ALLEN, Texas Portions of a $60 million
Texas high school football stadium that
opened just two years ago may have to be
demolished and rebuilt after structural aws
were found.
A report by Plano-based Nelson Forensics
says cracks found at Eagle Stadium in the
Dallas suburb of Allen may be caused by sub-
standard concrete work and improper structur-
al design of reinforcing steel.
The cracking has decreased the service life
of the structure and potentially decreased its
structural capacity, the report states.
The rm told Allen school district ofcials it
tested three concrete samples and found dark
paste thats typical of poorly cured concrete,
which can erode durability.
The rm presented its preliminary ndings
in January at the request of the Allen district.
The report was released Wednesday to The
Dallas Morning News after an open records
request.
Allen ofcials closed the 18,000-seat stadi-
um last month after discovering the cracks in

Houston-based PBK Architects has denied
the problems are a result of any aws in its
design. Pogue Construction in McKinney,
which built the stadium, has declined to spec-
ulate on the problem but says its working
with the district to resolve the matter.
The report by Nelson said water had seeped
into an elevated oor joist system, making it
weaker. It suggests the possible causes include
improper concrete placement, improper con-
crete nishing, improper concrete curing and
improper structural design of reinforcing steel
to control shrinkage cracking.

SAN FRANCISCO Jonathan Martin is
back on the Stanford campus hanging out and
working out with old college pals turned suc-
cessful pros, Andrew Luck and Richard
Sherman.
He has returned to his Bay Area comfort
zone, far from South Florida and his short-
lived, tumultuous tenure with the Dolphins.
Now, hes here to stay.
Martin is the newest member of the San
Francisco 49ers, and hes thrilled for a fresh
start to keep playing football. And for any-
one who questions why the offensive line-
man couldnt tough things out through a bul-
lying scandal in Miami, hes unconcerned.
You could say this or that could have gone
differently. Hindsight is 20-20, Martin said
Thursday upon passing a physical. My
focus is 100 percent on the future, moving
forward.
In recent months, Martin has learned to
ignore all the negative chatter and surround
himself with those who have been so sup-
portive along the way.
Already, starting 49ers
offensive linemen Joe
Staley and Anthony Davis
have reached out.
I can tell already that
Im going to get along
just great with those
guys, Martin said. Ive
felt a warm welcome from
the entire 49ers communi-
t y, fan base, coaching
staff, everybody. Im just looking forward to
the future and getting back to playing foot-
ball.
Martins trade from the Dolphins to the
Niners became ofcial Thursday. It reunites
him with his college coach, Jim Harbaugh.
The teams rst announced the move Tuesday
night for Martin, who left the Dolphins last
fall after accusing teammate Richie
Incognito of bullying in a scandal that over-
shadowed the franchises 8-8 season.
An investigation for the NFL determined
last month that Incognito and two other
offensive linemen engaged in persistent
harassment of Martin, another offensive
lineman and an assistant trainer. After
Martins departure from the Dolphins in late
October, he underwent counseling for emo-
tional issues. Incognito was suspended for
the nal eight games.
Any time we acquire a player we give him
a clean slate, along with every opportunity
to demonstrate his value to our organization,
both on the eld and in the community,
49ers general manager Trent Baalke said. It
will be no different in Jonathans case. As a
former Stanford student-athlete, we are very
familiar with Jonathan and look forward to
working with him.
Harbaugh has supported Martin all along,
from his early college days at Stanford to the
offensive linemans departure from the
Dolphins, and even in a formal NFL investi-
gation into the situation in Miami. Harbaugh
spoke publicly about Martin in November
and referred to him as a personal friend.
Hes a stand-up guy. It means a lot when
somebody with that much credibility has
your back, Martin said. His enthusiasm is
infectious. You can see it at every level of the
organization. It rubs off on everybody. Just
to be around a winning atmosphere, a coach
thats focused on winning, its really the best
situation I could have asked for.
Now, these two will begin the process of
getting Martin up to speed in a hurry this off-
season. Harbaugh has said hes not con-
cerned because it should be a smooth transi-
tion. Martin already knows many of the
coaches who came from Stanford when
Harbaugh was hired in January 2011.
Harbaugh has credited Martin for being a
very intelligent football player who has
familiarity with the Niners system.
Martin noted he never considered retiring,
saying: That didnt even cross my mind at
any point. Im a football player, Ive been a
football player my whole life.
The way Im approaching it, I have to
earn my spot on this team, Im a new guy in
the locker room, Martin said. Its a blank
slate for me. Im looking forward to revital-
izing my career, getting back to playing. I
want to do whatever I can to contribute to
this O-line. Its one of the best O-lines in
football already.

SEATTLE When they were still young-
sters, before nding success with the U.S.
national team and playing in some of the top
European leagues, Michael Bradley and Clint
Dempsey were teammates at the Major League
Soccer combine.
At that point, they were just hoping to have
a professional career.
We still joke about it now. ... We have a
really good relationship on and off the eld,
Bradley said during a conference call this
week. I think everybody is able to see how
important he is not only for the Seattle
Sounders, but the national team. I think
whether hes been in Europe or in MLS or with
the national team, hes shown what kind of
player he is and how important he is for every-
body.
Now as the stars of their teams in the MLS,
Bradley and Dempsey are
preparing to be foes on
Saturday. Thats when
Bradley is expected to
make his debut for Toronto
FC against Dempseys
Seattle Sounders.
Its a matchup of two of
the biggest names in MLS
and two stalwarts of the
U.S. national team just a
few months away from the
World Cup in Brazil. They are also the two
most notable players to recently decide that
returning to MLS in their prime from their
respective European clubs was the correct
move for their careers.
Theyre also the two latest examples of the
MLS working to counter the stigma of only
being an option for top players at the begin-
ning or end of their careers.
The better the players in the league, the
better the league is, Dempsey said Thursday.
Its always good to see
American players get a
good contract. (Im) happy
for him, happy for the
league and I think it just
makes it better.
Both Bradley and
Dempsey found them-
selves in similar situa-
tions in Europe. With the
World Cup approaching,
neither was assured enough playing time with
his club to be best prepared for his role with
the U.S. national team.
Dempsey was unsure of his future at London
club Tottenham, while Bradley had similar
questions about just how much playing time
he would potentially get if he stayed with AS
Roma. With U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann
wanting his Brazil-bound players to get as
much playing time as possible before World
Cup camp convenes in May, Bradley thought
it made sense for his career to make a move
out of Rome.
Turned out his best option was in Toronto.
Look, the reality of my situation was that I
wasnt sure how ready I was going to be for
World Cup not playing very much at Roma.
Thats a big reason why Im here, is to be at a
club where now Im going to be asked to take
a really big role, where Im going to be asked
to put a lot of responsibility on my shoulders
to make sure this team is successful, Bradley
said. For me that opportunity to come and
play every week and be an important guy, I
think Im challenging myself in ways that
mean when the World Cup comes around, Im
as t and as sharp and in as good a form as
ever.
Bradley, still just 26, is part of a massive
makeover in Toronto that also included the
acquisition of former Tottenham striker
Jermain Defoe and Brazilian goalkeeper Julio
Cesar. Its an attempt to turn around a fran-
chise that has yet to reach the MLS postsea-
son.

then it gets closer than it should. So, to just
put that nal stamp on it, its always a good
feeling.
Its been nothing but good feelings for
the Bulldogs this season, who have been
the No. 1 ranked team in the state for two
consecutive weeks. And there is no one who
personies the feel-good nature of the team
more than Neil. Born and raised in a small
farm town called Winters just outside of
Davis to ultimately arrive at the power-
house softball program on the hill, Neil is
still in awe of the ginormous campus of
CSM.
Winters is a tiny, tiny, tiny town, Neil
said. There are more students at the College
of San Mateo than in my town. So, Im in a
little shell shock being up here.
She sure looks at home when shes in the
circle though. With Thursdays win, Neil
improves to 11-0 on the season. Through
ve innings of work, she allowed ve hits
and notched five strikeouts, falling one
strikeout shy of season high of six against
American River on Feb. 15.
Its easy to clear everything out and
think, Neil said of stepping into the circle.
No matter where Im from, Im here because
I deserve to be here and just give it my
best.
So does the CSM offense. The Bulldogs
rank second in the state, hitting .401 as a
team. And the bats came alive in support of
Neil Thursday.
CSM got on the board in the rst. After
freshman Kayleen Smith drew a one-out
walk, she moved to second on a passed ball.
Then with two outs, freshman Skania Lemus
scorched an RBI single to right to score
Smith, giving the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead.
CSM has outscored opponents 39-10 in
the rst inning this season.
In the third, CSM sent nine batters to the
plate. Lauren Berriatua drew a leadoff walk
and advanced to third on a bunt single by
Raquel Martinez. Smith walked to load the
bases. Then with two outs, Saucedo came
through with the clutch grand slam to give
the Bulldogs a 5-0 lead.
CSM didnt stop there though. Melina
Rodriguez drew a two-out walk and stole sec-
ond, and Brooke Ramsey delivered an RBI
single to plate Rodriguez, giving CSM a 6-
0 lead.
In CSMs final at bat in the fourth,
Martinez ripped a one-out single to center
then moved to second on a groundout by
Smith. With two outs, Fiame shot an RBI
single to left to score Martinez and cap the
days scoring. All of CSMs eight runs in
the game scored on two-out hits.
While this isnt the rst 20-game win-
ning streak of Borgs eight years at the
helm of the Bulldogs, she admitted it has
still been a fun ride, although she refuses to
take anything for granted even with her
squad currently sitting atop the state rank-
ings.
I never know what were gonna do until
we do it, Borg said. So, its pretty awe-
some. Were rolling right now and hopeful-
ly we can keep our head in the right direc-
tion and one game at a time.

DARLINGTON, S.C. Jeff Gordons
grown accustomed to change in NASCAR,
especially at Darlington Raceway.
The four-time Sprint Cup series champion
has won races at the track Too Tough To
Tame, in March, May, August and
September and is ready for Darlingtons lat-
est schedule shift when the Southern 500
takes place April 12th.
Gordon says things are always changing
in stock car racing and when Darlington
holds its race does not matter as long as
hes lined up at the starting line. Gordon is
the series active leader with seven victories
at Darlington, trailing Hall of Famers David
Pearson with 10 and the late Dale Earnhardt
with nine.
Its still Darlington, he said. The track
conditions might change slightly, but you
want to be positive and open-minded about
whats best for the fans, for the sport.
After all, The Lady in Black was a much
different layout when a
young Gordon rst drove
it in a Busch Grand
National car in the early
1990s. The start-finish
line was on the back-
stretch, there were no
lights and the surface was
the same tire-chewing
asphalt racers like
Pearson and Richard
Petty grew up on.
Gordon quickly grew to love it and
became the Darlington master of this latest
generation of racers. His last victory here
came in May 2007. Since then the track has
been repaved, which Gordon believes has
evened the playing eld among competitors
at Darlington.
Weve had to more aggressive with the
new pavement and that may have taken
away a little advantage of what we had, he
said.
It hasnt slowed him down too much:
Gordons nished in the top ve in four of
the past six Southern 500s.
Gordon visited the track Thursday, meet-
ing fans purchasing tickets for next
months event and taking a prize-winner for
a pace-car ride around Darlington.
Two Sisters, 7-year-old Leanna and 6-
year-old Kayla Shefeld, are huge Gordon
fans and got to miss school to see their
favorite driver. The girls gave him a black-
and-white checkered-ag pattern scarf for
his own 6-year-old daughter, Ella Sophia.
Thanks, this will keep her really warm,
Gordon said, draping the scarf around his
neck.
Gordons visit nished at an area food
bank before he left for Bristol, Tenn., and
this weekends Food City 500 where his No.
24 Hendrick Motorsports team will try and
continue its strong start this season.
Gordons had three top-10 showings
fourth at the Daytona 500, fth a week later
in Phoenix and ninth last weekend in Las
Vegas and stands fth in points 18 back
of leader Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Gordon said he and crew chief Alan
Gustafson are connecting as are Gustafson
and team engineers.
Im very excited, Gordon said. Its one
of the best starts weve had in a long, long
time, if ever.
Speaking of change, Gordon loves what
NASCAR has done with its points system to
put more emphasis on winning, its qualify-
ing shift to the popular knockout format
and even the latest wrinkle of allowing
teams to use a cooling unit and prevent
them from slowing down on the race track
to reduce engine temperatures.
NASCAR made a great call, Gordon said
of the qualifying adjustment.
Gordon said hes long placed prime
importance on victories hes third all-
time with 88 wins and his glad to know
that one checkered ag this season gets you
into the sports 16-driver playoffs. Hes
also glad that once a win is secured, it gives
drivers and crew chiefs the ability to take
chances at more wins as Gordons teammate
Earnhardt Jr. did in gambling that his fuel
would hold in Las Vegas.

released him because of his high
salary.
After averaging 11 sacks per sea-
son from 2008-11, Woodley has
only nine sacks in 24 games the
past two years. He did have eight
quarterback hits and 24 hurries and
was one of the most efcient pass
rushers last season, according to
Pro Football Focus.
Woodley played linebacker in
Pittsburghs 3-4 defense but is also
able to play defensive end in
Oaklands four-man front.
The Raiders need help on their
pass rush after losing last years
leading sacker and most consistent
defender, LaMarr Houston, to
Chicago in free agency. The other
three starting defensive linemen
Pat Sims, Vance Walker and
Jason Hunter are also free
agents.
Tuck, who turns 31 this month,
was rated as the ninth best pass
rushing defensive end by Pro
Football Focus last season when
he had 11 sacks, 12 quarterback
hits and 44 hurries.
Oakland has not had a player
reach double gures in sacks since
Derrick Burgess and Warren Sapp
both did it in 2006.
Everyone talks about once you
turn 30, its all downhill, Tuck
said. I dont believe in that. I
dont look at myself in that regard.
I feel like I have a lot of great foot-
ball left in me.
The Raiders have now made three
free-agent additions this week,
having previously signed right
tackle Austin Howard to a ve-year,
$30 million deal. Running back
Darren McFadden also agreed to re-
sign with the Raiders on a one-year
deal worth up to $4 million.
Saffold was expected to be in the
mix before the Raiders were scared
off because of a shoulder injury and
voided the ve-year, $42.5 million
contract that included $21.5 mil-
lion in guarantees.
Howard and Saffold were sup-
posed to help anchor a rebuilt
offensive line but now Oakland
still needs to look for a left tackle
to replace the departed Jared
Veldheer.
We were excited about maybe
getting the chance to play togeth-
er, Howard said. But thats the
way this business works. Hes a
tremendous guy, a tremendous ath-
lete. I believe he really would have
t in well here and we would have
been really excited to play togeth-
er. Thats how it goes. Its very
unfortunate.
Oakland was burned last offsea-
son by the acquisition of two play-
ers with existing injuries.
Quarterback Matt Flynn was
acquired despite a shoulder injury
and he lacked arm strength before
being released early in the season.
Oakland used a rst-round pick
on cornerback D.J. Hayden, who
had a near-fatal heart injury in col-
lege. Hayden missed the entire off-
season and was limited in training
camp because of the injury and
struggled his rookie year before a
sports hernia injury sidelined him
for the season in November.
RAIDERS
fed Marleau, with Bobrovsky a bit
too deep in his net. The man-
advantage goal was the rst for
San Jose in its last seven games.
Johansen opened the scoring at
5:28 of the rst period with his
26th. Johansen snapped home a
loose puck from between the cir-
cles through trafc.
Marleau tied it 5 minutes later on
a sequence jump-started by poor
puck management by defenseman
David Savard. Logan Couture got
the puck and centered it from the
right boards to an open Marleau at
the crease for the one timer.
In the second period, the Blue
Jackets quickly got into penalty
trouble, giving the Sharks a two-
man advantage for 36 seconds. But
it was the Blue Jackets who capi-
talized. After the first penalty
expired, Umberger stepped out of
the box, took a long pass in stride
from Dubinsky and beat Stalock
between the pads for his 18th.

tive in the city and is mentally up on all per-
tinent issues from the sewer system to high-
speed rail, Ross said.
Hes someone you almost have to catch
up to, Ross said.
The city conducted a nationwide search
before settling on Patterson and top candi-
dates were interviewed by panels of repre-
sentatives from the citys homeowners
associations, businesses, labor groups and
the City Council itself.
Patterson said he was very excited by
the offer and continues to be more and more
excited about the opportunity to serve as
city manager. The position is one hes
wanted since rst joining the city although
he wasnt sure what path would get him
there. Now, he said hes thrilled not only to
have the chance but the condence to take it
on.
Patterson has a bachelors of arts in civil
engineering and a masters degree in civil
and transportation engineering. Prior to
joining the city, he founded Patterson
Associates, a transportation engineering
consulting firm. He has served as San
Mateos Public Works director for 13 years,
overseeing a department of 130 employees,
a $12 million annual operating budget and
an annual capital improvement budget of
$12 million to $30 million.
The city went through some tough times
but is now entering a more positive scal
era, Patterson said.
Its like we can now look out the front
windshield instead of the rearview mirror,
he said.
He said the city organization is also eager
to move to a new place as well which he
feels his familiarity with the basic princi-
pals and players will aid.
During his interim period, Patterson had a
list of goals like auditing the Community
Development Department and launching the
North B Street Improvement Initiative.
Patterson said the initiative is one that
brings particular pride because it is a suc-
cessful model that can be used in other areas
like the 25th Avenue business area.
But although Patterson is all but ofcially
the new city manager, hes still keeping the
interim title on his voice mail.
I gured Id better wait until after the
council approves the agreement Monday
night, he said.

Illston in a San Francisco courtroom,
Whipple pleaded guilty to a total of seven
counts racketeering conspiracy that
included plots to murder, the four counts of
attempted murder, one count of use or pos-
session of a firearm in a crime resulting in
death, and an additional count of using a
firearm in a violent crime.
Prosecutors will dismiss three counts of
murder in aid of racketeering that were
lodged against Whipple in a 2012 federal
grand jury indictment.
Outside of court, defense attorney David
Andersen said that while Whipple admitted
to the racketeering conspiracy and gun
possession charges, he did not fire shots
during the attack on the seven young men
on Dec. 22, 2010.
He did not shoot anybody. He refused to
participate, Andersen said.
Whipple will be sentenced by Illston on
June 6. Under the plea agreement, prosecu-
tion and defense attorneys will recommend
a sentence of between 14 and 16 years in
prison, but Illston will not be bound by
those recommendations. Federal sentenc-
ing guidelines, which are advisory, would
call for a sentence of 40 years to life for the
seven counts.
There is no guarantee it will be between
14 and 16 years. It could be worse than
that, Illston told Whipple before accept-
ing his guilty plea.
Whipple originally faced a potential rare
federal death penalty if convicted of the
three alleged murders in aid of racketeer-
ing, but earlier in the case prosecutors said
they would not seek the death penalty for
Whipple and two others. Ortiz avoided a
possible death penalty by pleading guilty.
The indictment alleged the gangs racket-
eering, or operation of a continuing crimi-
nal enterprise, included murderous attacks
on rivals, drug dealing and robbery.
The 500 Block/C Street gang was origi-
nally two separate Norteo-affiliated
gangs in South San Francisco that merged
in the mid-2000s, according to the indict-
ment.
Whipple and Ortiz were among 19
alleged members and associates of the
gang named in the indictment. Including
Whipple, 15 of the defendants have now
pleaded guilty to various charges.
PLEA DEAL
By Matthew Perrone
WASHINGTON Debate over a power-
ful new painkiller ratcheted up Thursday as
the head of the Food and Drug
Administration defended the drugs
approval and a West Vi rginia Senator
responded with a bill to force it off the
market.
FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret
Hamburg told Senate lawmakers that the
recently-launched Zohydro fills an
important and unique niche for treating
chronic pain. Her agency has been under
fire for clearing the drug since December,
amid concerns from lawmakers, addiction
specialists and others that the drug will
exacerbate the national epidemic of pre-
scription drug abuse.
Zohydro is the first single-ingredient
hydrocodone drug ever cleared for U.S.
patients. Each extended-release pill con-
tains up to five times more of the narcotic
than previously available combination
pills, such as Vicodin. Pharmacies began
dispensing the drug earlier this week.
Hours after Hamburgs appearance on
Capitol Hill, Senator Joe Manchin, D-W.
Va., introduced a bill that would force the
FDA to withdraw the drug and prohibit the
approval of any similar medications that
dont have tamper-resistant design fea-
tures.
I have tried reasoning with the FDA,
and Ive repeatedly requested the agency
change its course on this dangerous drug,
Manchin said in a statement. Because of
this painkillers high potential for misuse
and abuse, Zohydro poses a severely dan-
gerous threat to our communities in West
Virginia and across our country.
Representative Stephen Lynch, D-
Mass., introduced similar legislation in
the House of Representatives.
In a statement late Thursday, Hamburg
said the FDA has not had a chance to
review the legislation.

Furious rip-off. This is going to be God
awful, Paul said in an interview with the
Associated Press. Lets be honest every-
one going into this movie is going to
expect to see something similar to Fast &
Furious. Thats ne, the Fast & Furious
movies, theyve made six of them, they are
on the seventh, they are fun to watch, they
are popcorn movies and I have nothing
against them.
But I didnt want to jump into something
like that.
Paul ultimately decided to read the script,
which is based on the popular EA
Entertainment racing game, and found him-
self surprisingly intrigued by the story of a
street racer framed for a crime he didnt com-
mit. He seeks his revenge while taking a
cross-country trip in a custom-built Ford
Mustang, which he hopes to enter in under-
ground and illegal street race called the De
Leon.
Paul was hooked and signed on for the
project in 2012, as he was preparing for his
nal season as Jesse Pinkman in Breaking
Bad.
I just had such a fun time reading this
lm, just ipping the pages, he said. It
was just a fun ride and after doing a show for
so long that I was so proud to be a part of,
but it was also emotionally exhausting, just
so heavy every single day. I wanted to do
something that was a little bit lighter and
this was that.
Paul got his wish in a campy lm with
cliche-lled dialogue and a predictable plot.
But the movie also features several
European super cars a Swedish
Koenigsegg Agera R, Lamborghini, GTA
Spano, Bugatti and McLaren P1, all of
which are featured in the video game, as well
as a Saleen S7 and Paul got to do most of
his own driving.
He trained at Willow Springs
International Raceway, driving from Los
Angeles before dawn for lessons that lasted
up to 10 hours a day.
From the moment the sun starts peeking
up, I am there all day long, learning how to
maneuver these cars, Paul said. It started
out learning how to get out of problematic
situations, and then I got to learn how to do
all the fun stuff: driving the car backward at
really high speeds, ipping the car around
in a reverse 180 and going through stunt
courses. It was so much fun, I loved every
minute of it, it never felt dangerous.
Paul did many of his own stunts, but said
professionals were brought in for the real
heavy lifting and Paul was only in scenes
where the driving didnt exceed 130 mph.
Scott Waugh, the former stunt man-turned-
director, insisted that all the action
sequences and wrecks be done live and did
not rely on the use of CGI or a green screen.
Both Paul and Waugh bill Need for
Speed as an homage to classic car icks.
They cite Bullitt and Vanishing Point
and even Smokey & The Bandit as inspi-
rations.
So Waugh went into the lm trying to
give it a Steve McQueen style of lmmak-
ing, as in when a camera would pull up
right next to a car in a McQueen lm so the
audience could see the actor in the drivers
seat. That was in his mind during casting
when he rst heard Pauls name.
Waugh had never seen Breaking Bad and
was unfamiliar with Paul, a two-time Emmy
winner for his role as Pinkman. But Paul
was suggested to Waugh to play the villain,
so he took a look.
PAUL
roads and racers in leather coats.
Since Breaking Bad ended last year,
Paul has been making an impressive transi-
tion to lm, starting with the indie drama
Hellion, which debuted at the Sundance
Film Festival. In Need for Speed, he ex-
es his machismo as a street racer on a
vendetta.
Following a two-year prison sentence
for a crime he didnt commit, mechanic and
race driver Tobey Marshall (Paul) is deter-
mined to get revenge on Dino Brewster
(Dominic Cooper), the man who framed
him. To do so, Tobey drives from New York
to California to battle Dino in a high-
stakes race dubbed the De Leon.
Along for the ride are British car buff Julia
(Imogen Poots) and Benny (Scott Mescudi,
also known as recording artist Kid Cudi),
the jovial airborne lookout of Tobeys crew.
Written by rst-timer George Gatins, who
produced Shes Out of My League, the plot
is heavy with questionable logic and
monotonous dialogue. Modeled after classic
1960s and 1970s action lms, where the
cars were key, Need for Speed often
attempts to be a dramatic thriller. But its
best when consciously comical. Trite con-
ventions, like Tobeys brooding demeanor,
punctuated by his deep monotone and acute
stare, are effective, although overdone at
times.
But Tobey isnt always serious. When rid-
ing cross-country, the eccentric Julia gets
him to loosen up. Their banter offers cute
comedic relief and sets the stage for
romance. Long gone are thoughts of his ex,
Anita, played by upcoming Fifty Shades of
Grey star Dakota Johnson, who tests out
her siren potential and achieves it. But
its the sexy, witty and accessible Poots
who really shines. Michael Keaton, as the
ridiculously animated mystery man behind
the De Leon race, is another highlight.
Compared to the Fast & Furious fran-
chise by way of fast cars, harrowing races
and a band of brothers connected mostly by
loyalty, not blood, Need for Speed is more
like an underdeveloped sibling. It lacks the
brutal and brawny gentleman quotient, per-
haps the most delicious feature of Furious.
Still, the boyish good looks of Paul and
Cooper are appealing. But could they really
save us in a pinch? Vin Diesels Dom in
Furious seems more reliable.
Easily the best parts of this ride are the
thrilling stunts and races. Stuntman-turned-
director Scott Waugh puts us right in the dri-
vers seat as cars exceed 120 mph and spin
through the air. First-person camera angles
keep the action immediate and personal,
just like the video game. Additionally, over-
head views offer a sweeping scope of the
races as the drivers speed past vineyards in
Californias Mendocino County, where the
De Leon race scenes were lmed.
Though the pace remains mostly high-
octane throughout, it drags in the begin-
ning and during the nal face-off. But over-
all, this ashy underworld of super-charged
machinery and intense action is a blast.
Need for Speed, a DreamWorks release,
is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for sequences of
reckless street racing, disturbing crash
scenes, nudity and crude language.
Running time: 130 minutes. Three stars out
of four.

LOS ANGELES Dogs and cats have
become part of the American familys inner
circle over the past 20 years, sleeping in
their own beds or yours, eating food bought
specially to help their digestive tracts,
drinking puried water and cuddling up in
chairs on heated pads made to fend off
arthritis.
In addition to veterinarians, some pets
have their own groomers, trainers, sitters
and occasional walkers.
All this suggests a bright future for an
industry that has grown alongside the pop-
ularity of pets, expanding at a steady 4 per-
cent to 6 percent a year since the American
Pet Products Association started record-
keeping in 1996.
Americans spent an all-time high $55.7
billion on their pets last year, and spending
will creep close to $60 billion this year,
association president and CEO Bob Vetere
told buyers and exhibitors at the Global Pet
Expo in Orlando, Fla., on Thursday.
The biggest chunk of 2013 spending,
$21.6 billion, went for food a lot of it
more expensive, healthier grub. In 1996,
total pet spending was just $21 billion.
Adjusted for ination, thats $31.3 billion.
The humaniza-
tion of our pets
started about 20
years ago, Vetere
said in a tele-
phone interview.
As pets accepted
their new perch in
the family,
manufactur-
ers intro-
d u c e d
product s
that helped
a n i m a l s
move from
the backyard
to the front
room.
What is
feeding a
large part of the growth now are the baby
boomers who have become empty-nesters
and are looking for some other ways to nd
the love and affection they used to get from
their kids, Vetere said.
In the past, chil-
dren were a reec-
tion of us, and peo-
ple are now extend-
ing that to their
pets, said Dr.
Jessica Vogelsang,
a San Diego veteri-
narian who
owns the

pawcuri-
ous.com.
P e o p l e
dont bring
their pets in
just for
health rea-
sons any-
more
they also
want them to look good and smell good, she
said. From my perspective, its a good
thing. Its nice to see people care as deeply
as they do.
People have always spent more on food
than any other pet spending category, and
pet food trends follow human food and diet
trends, according to Vetere.
That means if you are on a health kick,
chances are your pet is too.
Food choices are extraordinarily confus-
ing, Vogelsang said. I think people spend
more time in the dog food aisle than they do
in the rest of the store.
Sales numbers show owners are buying
more age-specic, breed-specic, vitamin-
infused or additive-enhanced foods, Vetere
said.
Dave Bolen is president and CEO of Pet
Supplies Plus, a chain of 294 specialty
stores in 24 eastern states. His 25-years-old
business has expanded every year it
opened eight stores in 2013 and plans to
open 30 this year.
We are bullish about pet ownership, he
said.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates The
global industry for halal food and lifestyle
products ones that meet Islamic law
standards of manufacture is estimated to
be worth hundreds of billions of dollars
and is multiplying as Muslim populations
grow. Producers outside the Muslim world,
from Brazil to the United States and
Australia, are eager to tap into the market.
The United Arab Emirates is positioning
itself to be their gateway, part of its push
to become a global center of Islamic busi-
ness and finance.
UAE officials announced last month that
the city of Dubai has dedicated around 6.7
million square feet of land in Dubai
Industrial City for a Halal Cluster for
manufacturing and logistic companies that
deal in halal food, cosmetics and personal
care items.
Dubai Industrial City CEO Abdullah
Belhoul said the idea to create a zone just
for halal manufacturers was driven by the
increased demand locally and internation-
ally for such products.
This industry itself, we know it is grow-
ing, Belhoul told the Associated Press. He
said the industry is expected to double in
terms of value within five years. So we
think there is a lot of opportunity... and
we need to capitalize on this.
The worlds Muslim population is esti-
mated at around 1.6 billiion, and the
majority is believed to adhere to or prefer
to adhere to halal products when possible.
The general understanding is that halal
products should not be contaminated with
pork or alcohol and that livestock is
slaughtered in accordance with Islamic
Shariah law. Similar to kosher practices,
Islam requires the animal is killed with sin-
gle slash to the throat while alive. It is
intended as a way for animals to die swift-
ly and minimize their pain.
However, as with most issues in reli-
gion, opinions vary greatly over what is
permissible and what is not. Despite
attempts by international Islamic bodies,
such as the World Halal Food Council, to
achieve worldwide guidelines, there are no
global standards for halal certifications.
Stricter interpreters of Shariah say
chicken must be slaughtered by hand to be
considered halal. Others say it is accept-
able if the chicken is slaughtered by
machine, as is the case in much of the fast-
paced food industry around the world. To
accommodate various Muslim consumers,
several companies even specify on their
packaging how the chicken was slaugh-
tered.
Demand grows for halal food as industry evolves

MUSEUM
By Lou Kesten
Remember when South Park debuted on
Comedy Central in 1997? Remember how
shocking the cursing, toilet humor and
black comedy seemed?
Take that level of shock and multiply it
by, oh, 20 and youll have some idea of
what you should expect from South Park:
The Stick of Truth (Ubisoft, for the
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, $59.99), the
new video game written by series creators
Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Even fans of
the theatrical South Park: Bigger, Longer
& Uncut may be taken aback by the level
of raunch on display here.
The curse words are un-bleeped. Theres a
sex act that makes the notorious Hot
Coffee scene in Grand Theft Auto: San
Andreas look like something off the
Disney Channel. Theres a cringe-inducing
scenario set in an abortion clinic. And
more.
Like its cable TV counterpart, The Stick
of Truth gleefully tackles issues like gun
control, racism, sexism and pedophilia. If
youre not a South Park fan, by all means
avoid it. Even if youre a fan, there are
moments that will make you say ick
even as youre laughing at the games audac-
i t y.
Your character is the new kid in town.
Cartman, grand wizard of the Kingdom of
Kupa Keep (yes, the KKK), invites you on a
quest to recover the titular stick from a tribe
of elves, led by Kyle and Stan. The war
between the two gangs evolves into some-
thing more dangerous, though, once aliens
invade and unleash a plague of Nazi zom-
bies. The ensuing romp reels in almost
every character from the cartoons 17-year
run, from regulars like Kenny and Butters to
guest stars like Mr. Hankey and Jesus.
The gameplay was designed by Obsidian
Entertainment, the California studio known
for role-playing games like Fallout: New
Vegas and Dungeon Siege III. The Stick
of Truth is RPG lite. You get to create the
new kid from scratch, building from scores
of facial features, clothing items and acces-
sories. As the game progresses, you get
more resilient armor and more dangerous
weapons. And you learn increasingly effec-
tive magic spells that, true to form, typical-
ly involve atulence.
Whenever you encounter an enemy, the
screen switches to battle mode, in which
you and one partner take turns attacking and
casting spells at the bad guys. Most
actions, whether offensive or defense,
require pressing a button at a certain time to
achieve maximum power. The combat
recalls Nintendos Paper Mario and
Mario & Luigi series, and demands more
strategy than you might expect.
Those Nintendo franchises have produced
some of the funniest games on the market,
so perhaps theres something about the
turn-based RPG that lends itself to comedy.
In any case, over the 12 hours I played The
Stick of Truth, I found myself laughing
dozens of times sometimes at its broad
slapstick, other times at more subtle gags.
For example, there are hundreds of col-
lectible items hidden in South Park, and
nearly every one has a joke attached. (The
profane text accompanying Phil Collins
Oscar indicates Parker and Stone are still
bugged about losing the 1999 best original
song trophy to him.) Some of the targets
are outdated what have Al Gore and Rob
Schneider done to anyone lately? But that
could be the result of the games long,
somewhat turbulent development history.
South Park has always been aware of
video-game culture, and some of the funni-
est elements of The Stick of Truth play off
familiar tropes from the likes of Call of
Duty, Final Fantasy and Skyrim. A
tremendous joke about Canada two-thirds of
the way through is the cleverest twist Ive
seen in a AAA game in years. But even
before then, this game is packed with so
much comedy that youll forgive some
uninspired gameplay. Just dont play in
front of your kids. Or your parents. Three
stars out of four.
Raunchy new South Park game is sweet
The Stick of Truthgleefully tackles issues like gun control,racism,sexism and pedophilia.If youre
not a South Park fan, by all means avoid it.

school board restore student education days to
the district calendar. The district has $5 mil-
lion in reserves and restoring the ve days
would only cost $250,000, according to a
press release from the association. But,
according to district ofcials, it would actual-
ly cost the district closer $400,000 to elimi-
nate the furlough days for all employees.
Some district funds are restricted for items
like a state-mandated designation for eco-
nomic uncertainty, said Superintendent David
Hutt. Given that there is actually about
$350,000 available and because its a func-
tion of the general fund, that amount of
money has a lot of competing interests, he
said. Julia Maynard, president of the associa-
tion and teacher at Parkside Intermediate
School, said Wednesday was the perfect time
to discuss the furlough days in the district
since the meeting had a packed crowd and
negotiations will occur on Friday, said.
These furlough days are affecting all of our
community, she said. Were making materi-
als for Common Core and really its so much
work. Were the only ones in this area taking
furlough days. Everyone is being asked to do
more with less. Its demoralizing and preying
on our goodness.
She noted that most other teachers in area
are getting raises and that San Bruno teachers
are some of the lowest paid at the same time
class sizes are being raised.
Both the teachers and district agreed to a
reduction in the number of instructional days
for this year due to the inadequate funding of
schools by the state of California, said Hutt.
He noted he thought the teachers conducted
themselves very professionally at the meet-
ing.
Both parties also agreed that if the scal
picture improved we would come back to the
bargaining table to revisit the decision, he
said. District nances have improved. Both
parties have come back and the subject is
being negotiated.We have a scheduled session
of negotiations [Friday] and Im hopeful we
will be able to come to resolution that satis-
es all interests.
Meanwhile, board President Patrick Flynn
said before the meeting its a little too late in
his opinion for them to protest the item. He
also noted the board couldnt really do any-
thing at this meeting since it wasnt on the
agenda.
Since the item is in negotiations, Trustee
Jennifer Blanco said she cant comment
specically on the furlough days, but she said
the teachers have the right to come and
express themselves.
I can just hope for the best, she said. I
hope we can truly work this out.
Parents said the furlough days send a bad
message to kids, are a burden for parents who
need to nd child care on the days off and lead
to lost wages.
What does it say to the kids if ve days of
school are cut off at the end of the year? said
parent Joan Skinner. What message are we
giving to the kids if were cutting days of
schools? If we had enough money for a $2
million paving project, then we need to get
this item back on the agenda about the ve
days for these teachers and need to nd the
money for the teachers.
Another parent, Martha Acacio, agreed with
Skinner.
I cant imagine what our teachers have to
endure every day with youth with different
personalities and different issues, then they
have to go home and do homework, she said.
The message we have to give in our commu-
nity is education is important. If they get the
message its OK to start reducing days, then
what are they taking in? I think that we can do
better. San Bruno, I know we can do better.
PROTEST
explosives inside their homes, Newman
said.
After trying to buy some of the explo-
sives, federal and local undercover investi-
gators later obtained search warrants that led
to the discovery of more than 600 explosive
devices and chemicals used to make explo-
sives, Newman said.
These were not recrackers were talking
about here, Newman said. They had
enough material that if something occurred
in either one of their homes, it wouldve
been catastrophic for the surrounding areas.
Ormando was booked on 10 counts each of
possession of a destructive device and reck-
less or malicious possession in public or
private, and one count each of possession
without a permit for materials to make
explosives, unlawful possession of explo-
sives and child endangerment.
Gunther was booked on eight counts each
of possession of a destructive device, reck-
less or malicious possession in public or
private, sale or transportation of destructive
devices and one count each of unlawful pos-
session of explosives with knowledge and
possession of methamphetamine.
The men pleaded not guilty to the charges
in court on Monday.
Ormando and Gunther were being held at
the San Francisco jail on bail of $2.75 mil-
lion and $1.5 million, respectively, the
Sheriffs Department said. Both were due in
court again on Friday.
It was unclear if the suspects have retained
attorneys.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
DAVID MICHAEL CICERO, SR.
Case Number: 124217
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: DAVID MICHAEL CICE-
RO, SR. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by David M. Cicero, Jr. in the Supe-
rior Court of California, County of San
Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests
that David M. Cicero, Jr. be appointed
as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: March 28, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Barry Davis
Case Number: 124233
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Barry Davis. A Petition
for Probate has been filed by Kimberly
Brown in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Kimberly Brown
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
203 Public Notices
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: April 7, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia A
Malaysia Airlines plane sent signals to a
satellite for four hours after the aircraft went
missing, an indication that it was still y-
ing for hundreds of miles or more, a U.S.
ofcial briefed on the search said Thursday.
Six days after the plane with 239 people
aboard disappeared, Malaysian authorities
expanded their search westward toward
India, saying the aircraft may have own for
several hours after its last contact with the
ground shortly after takeoff from Kuala
Lumpur for Beijing.
A string of previous clues about Flight
MH370 have led nowhere.
MH370 went completely silent over the
open ocean, said Malaysias acting
Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.
This is a crisis situation. It is a very com-
plex operation, and it is not obviously
easy. We are devoting all our energies to the
task at hand.
The U.S. ofcial, who spoke on condition
of anonymity because he wasnt authorized
to discuss the situation by name, said the
Boeing 777-200 wasnt transmitting data to
the satellite, but was instead sending out a
signal to establish contact.
Boeing offers a satellite service that can
receive a stream of data during ight on how
the aircraft is functioning and relay the
information to the planes home base. The
idea is to provide information before the
plane lands on whether maintenance work
or repairs are needed.
Missing Malaysian plane sent

JERUSALEM The Palestinian militant
group Islamic Jihad said Thursday it had
agreed to halt a wave of rocket re on Israel,
signaling an end to the heaviest ghting
between the sides since 2012, though soon
after the announcement seven rockets red
from Gaza exploded inside Israel.
The Islamic Jihad denied it launched the
attack and it wasnt immediately unclear who
fired the rockets. Cease-fire declarations
have not always been honored by militants
and the barrage raised doubts about the cease-
re offer made by Islamic Jihad.
The Israeli military said militants red at
least seven rockets Thursday from Gaza, with
most coming in the evening after the cease-
re claim. It said its Iron Dome defense
system intercepted one rocket.
Israeli ofcials previously refused to con-
rm any cease-re deal was in place.
In two days of violence, militants red
some 70 rockets into Israel, while Israel has
carried out a series of airstrikes in Gaza. No
serious casualties have been reported.
Islamic Jihad leader Khaled al-Batch
announced Thursday that his group had
accepted an Egyptian-brokered plan to stop
its attacks, if Israel agreed to a truce as well.
After the Egyptian brothers initiated con-
tacts with us in the past few hours, we agreed
to restore the calm, said Khaled al-Batch,
the groups leader in Gaza. As long as the
occupation (Israel) honors the calm, we will
honor the calm and instructions are being
given right now to al-Quds brigades, our mil-
itary wing, about this understanding.
Asenior security ofcial in Egypt, which
has brokered similar truces in the past, said
Egyptian intelligence ofcials had been in
touch with the sides and brokered an agree-
ment. The ofcial spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorized to
speak to journalists.
Earlier Thursday, the Iranian-backed
Islamic Jihad resumed rocket fire toward
Israel, striking the outskirts of two major
cities. Aday earlier, it red dozens of rockets
in the largest barrage on Israel since an
eight-day Israeli offensive in late 2012.
