More than 60,000 added to Bay metro area

Tech, health care jobs adding to population total in Marin, San Francisco, Contra Costa, Alameda, San Mateo counties
By Keith Burbank
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

The San Francisco-OaklandHayward metropolitan statistical

area added the 11th biggest number of people between 2014 and
2015 among the nations 381
MSAs, according to U.S. Census
Bureau data released Thursday.

The metropolitan statistical

area consists of Marin, San
Francisco, Contra Costa, Alameda
and San Mateo counties.
The MSA added 60,152 people
and was one of only 16 MSAs in
the country to add more than
50,000 people.
In percentage terms, population
grew by 1. 3 percent from

4,595,980 people to 4,656,132.

The MSA is the 11th largest in
the country, according to the
Census data.
The population of the MSA has
been increasing because of an
increase in the number of available jobs in the Bay Area over the
past five to seven years, especially in technology and health care,

Planner Hing Wong said.
The population growth is causing or exacerbating a couple of the
areas challenges.
Population has grown faster
than the number of housing units,
Wong said, leading to what some
have called a housing crisis.

Another challenge is the crowded transportation network, Wong

said.

City helps nonprofit save for senior center

San Mateos Self-Help for the Elderly considers affordable housing development
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Its not often that rents are

dropped in the Bay Area, but the
city of San Mateo will do just that
with its Central Park recreation
center in the hopes it could bolster
the long-term viability of keeping
local senior services.
The City Council voted Monday
to drop the rent is collects from
Self-Help for the Elderly to $1 a
year. The long-standing nonprofit
announced its looking for an
alternate location that could entail
developing a new affordable housing complex for seniors.
Self-Help could save nearly a

quarter of a million dollars, which

officials said would go toward
securing a new site, if it carries out
the full nine-year term of the lease
that begins later this year.
We are very delighted and we are
the eternal optimist, said SelfHelp Board Member Roz Koo, who
helped start the San Mateo center.
Hopefully by the end of the nine
years, we will accumulate a sizable
sum and I hope, as I said to the
[city manager], if theres ever a
chance, we would like to do a collaboration with the city to develop low-income senior housing.
Koo, whos known for her networking abilities and said shes
confident theyll be able to raise

funds, noted the growing senior

population and would like to construct a new recreation center as
part of a housing development.
Self-Help has occupied the
aging 5, 700-square-foot recreation center near the heart of
downtown San Mateo since 1992.
From organizing tai chi sessions
to delivering meals to homebound
seniors, the San Francisco-based
nonprofit popular with those of
Asian descent has long hosted
seniors at Central Park. The center
is open to people of all ethnic
backgrounds, although it helps if
they enjoy Chinese food, Koo

Pacifica upholds decision

to evacuate cliff apartment
Commission denies property owners appeal that bluffs are safe
Pacifica officials upheld the decision to
err on the side of caution and evacuate a 20unit apartment building overlooking beach
bluff tops that have eroded in recent
months, despite arguments from the owner
and several residents who claim the property is safe.
The contended building at 310 Esplanade
Ave. made national news when a drone
caught on video a portion of the neighboring cliffs dramatically falling after El Niofueled swells pummeled the cliff earlier this
year.
The city hired a geotechnician and its
building official opted to yellow-tag the
property forcing its residents to quickly
evacuate in January. Just this month, the
neighboring site at 320 Esplanade Ave. was
demolished after it was declared uninhabitable in 2010. Millard Tong, who bought
the sites for $6 million in 2006 and recently filed for bankruptcy, pleaded guilty in
February to keeping the property at 310
Esplanade Ave. in an unsuitable condition.
The seven-member Pacifica Emergency
Preparedness and Safety Commission voted
unanimously Wednesday night to uphold
the citys decision to also evacuate the
neighboring site at 320 Esplanade Ave.
Their decision validates our assessment
that the worsening condition on the bluffs
posed an imminent risk to residents and left
the structure unsafe for residents particularly in the event of an earthquake or other
unforeseen disaster, City Manager Lorie
Tinfow said in a statement.
The commission members are local citizens appointed by the City Council and
were expected to confirm a written summary
of the decision April 20, after which former
resident Bart Willoughby said he and Tong
would petition the courts to intervene.
Willoughby, a coastal analyst hired by
Tong and who lived at the property for 16
years, said the city jumped the gun in evac-

Support shown for school parcel tax

Poll: Redwood City voters likely to approve tax extension, hike
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Sufficient support exists among voters in

Redwood City to extend, and hike the cost
of, the local elementary school districts
existing parcel tax, according to recent
poll data.
Based on his research, pollster Brian
Godbe suggested Redwood City Elementary
School District officials approve putting
an $85 tax measure on the November election ballot, during a school board meeting
Wednesday, March 23.
The districts $67 parcel tax is set to
soon expire, but rather than merely keep it
in place, polling shows necessary voter
enthusiasm prevails to pass a measure
which could generate an additional
$400,000 annually.
Nearly 80 percent of likely voters polled
recently suggested they would be favorable
to passing an $85 parcel tax in the coming
election. And though there is more support
for extending the current, lower tax rate,
the district would likely still be successful
in pursuit of the more challenging endeavor.
I think, that given the support levels,
the district should be thinking about $85,
said Godbe.

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
The $85 parcel tax would generate $1.9
million annually for the district, according
to a district report.
Godbe polled 588 likely Redwood City
voters over the phone and Internet earlier
this month, and found a majority of residents were in favor of passing a tax which
would be used to pay teachers, improve curriculum and maintain the districts current
quality of education.
No decision was made during the meeting, but the deadline for the board to
approve putting the measure on the fall ballot is Friday, Aug. 12.
Board President Alisa MacAvoy lauded
the findings in the poll results.
This is positive news on a whole, so
thats good, she said. Well be talking
more about this.
Jeremy Hauser, a consultant with TBWB
Strategies, suggested the district consider a
vote to approve putting the measure on the
ballot by June, to provide ample time for a
comprehensive advocacy campaign leading
up to the day ballots are due.
Godbe noted though voters are seeming-

ly favorable to the proposed initiatives,

there remains a lot of work to be done to
further rally enthusiasm and sustain that
momentum through Election Day.
The district has struggled periodically in
the past to pass parcel tax measures, as voters shot down proposals floated in 2009,
2005 and 1993.
The district was able to pass a $193 million bond measure in the most recent election, but officials believe more bonds will
soon be required to address the entirety of
the districts capital improvement plan.
Parcel taxes are eligible to be spent on
educational services and paying teacher
salaries, while bond money is set aside
solely for improving facilities.
Though positive momentum exists, the
polling data suggested voters are relatively
unsure how they feel about the districts
performance, resources and management,
which suggested to Godbe and Hauser an
advocacy campaign should be rolled out to
build support.
Roughly 37 percent of those polled said
they believe officials do a good job managing district funds, while 25 percent have an
unfavorable opinion of the districts financial management and the remaining nearly
38 percent are uncertain.
About 50 percent those surveyed in
Redwood City have a favorable perspective

on the education the district provides,

while about 20 percent are unfavorable, and
nearly 30 percent are uncertain.
Additionally, just over 30 percent of
polled voters felt the district had a fair
amount of funding, and nearly one quarter
did not know, which Godbe said indicated
more work needed to be done toward highlighting the value of the tax revenue to the
district.
Working over the coming months to
ensure those undecided voters or those with
unfavorable perspectives assume a more
positive opinion on the districts fiscal
management, quality of education and level
of funding will be crucial to the measure
passing, said Godbe.
Its important to do the due diligence,
he said, in working to improve the districts reputation among voters.
Voters would be most amenable to a tax
measure designed to enhance math, science, reading and writing skills for students, attracting qualified teachers as well
as enhancing quality arts and music program, according to the poll results.
Should the polling data prove predictive
for outcome on Election Day though,
Godbe said the district is in a strong position.
There is a good chance it will be successful, he said of the tax measure.

Sanders is favored over
Democratic front-runner Hillary

and Alaska. The Vermont senator
also points to April contests in
Wisconsin and New York, and
Californias June 7 primary, as
elections where he could cut into
her wide lead in delegates who will
decide the Democratic nomination.
That lead, however, is more than
300 pledged delegates roughly
about double the margin that thenIllinois Sen. Barack Obama held
over Clinton during the 2008 primaries. Its math thats forced

at a Los Angeles rally on
Wednesday night.
Sanders overwhelming victories in Tuesdays caucuses in Idaho
and Utah helped him offset a loss
in Arizona, where he campaigned
extensively but failed to win more
than 40 percent of the vote. He
netted about 20 more delegates
than Clinton in the three states,
but he ended the night still far
behind Clinton in the overall delegate count.
Once a major longshot, Sanders
has pushed Clinton on policy and

across the political map, winning

a dozen states and challenging
Democrats to confront income
inequality and big money in politics. His rallies this past week
drew more than 17,000 people in
Seattle, including those standing
in line or in an overflow room, and
13,000 in San Diego.
His online fundraising acts like
an ATM he has collected more
than $140 million from 2 million
donors, raising $94 million in
increments of $200 or less.
Even as Clinton focuses on GOP
front-runner Donald Trump,
Sanders has yet to ease up on the
ex-secretary of state, regularly
assailing her use of super PACs
and her vote to authorize the war in
Iraq. He has demanded she release
the transcripts of her private
speeches before Wall Street banks,
adding with sarcasm that they
must have been written in
Shakespearean prose to merit the
$225,000 paydays she received
for making them.

SAN FRANCISCO The Board

of Regents of the University of
California on Thursday approved a
retirement plan for new employees
that President Janet Napolitano
says will save the fiscally shaky
system a significant amount of
money.
The retirement plan would apply
to future employees hired on or
after July 1. It caps how much of
salary can be used to calculate pension benefits, with anything
above the annual salary cap of
$117,020 going to a 401k plan.
New employees also could opt to
put all of their retirement into a

MULLIN
Continued from page 1
ply provide cities the option to adopt this
ordinance that was successfully used for
years to create thousands of affordable
units. Nonetheless, it would in essence
supersede the Palmer decision.
Were trying to right a wrong here. I
disagree with the Palmer decision, I think it
undermines local governments authority
and ability to determine their policies on
the local level, Mullin said. We believe
were on sound legal footing. My concern is not necessarily on legal grounds, my
concern is on political grounds. The ability
to work with the special interest groups
who will vehemently oppose anything
thats viewed as a price control. But this is
not rent control.
Building industry representatives contest
these types of inclusionary ordinances arguing they place governments responsibility
to support low-income earners directly on
the backs of private industry and middleclass workers who end up subsidizing the
cost.

Help for older homeowners

But Mullin has gained some favor of private industry through another piece of legislation also aiming to address the states
housing crisis.
The California Association of Realtors is
sponsoring Mullins Assembly Bill 2668, a
proposal to allow seniors 55 or older and
the disabled to transfer their current property tax base if they buy a new home, even if
its more expensive.
Seniors are often hesitant to move
because theyd lose their reduced
Proposition 13 tax rate unless the new
home they purchase is cheaper and located
in only a handful of participating counties.
Instead of feeling locked in, the bill could
help seniors avoid tax increases when selling their homes, incentivizing them to
downsize and open up larger homes to growing families or first-time homebuyers.
With thousands of jobs being created and
the housing market struggling to keep up,

Mullin says a variety of approaches such as

these bills are needed including an
Assembly groups proposal to allocate $1
billion toward low-income housing.
We have really a crisis on our hands. The
question is, what are some smart and modest
things we can do to move the needle?
Mullin said. Because were still not developing solutions to the scale of the problem
and we really do need a comprehensive
approach.
Despite political discord, most agree
theres a housing shortage and affordability
crisis that must be addressed.

Challenging the
court or building a balance
Only about 98,000 new units were built in
California last year; but in a state of nearly
38 million, that doesnt come close to
whats needed, said Richard Lyon, senior
vice president with the California Building
Industry Association.
We need to focus on increasing supply at
all levels in California and not artificially
constrain that supply, Lyon said.
The CBIA, which sued the city of San Jose
over its 15 percent inclusionary ordinance,
made headlines recently when the U. S.
Supreme Court opted not to hear its appeal
of a state appellate courts decision that its
legal to require developers to set aside a portion of affordable units within new for-sale
multi-family projects.
Lyon said his agency, while supportive of
tax credit legislation such as AB 2668,
believes inclusionary zoning is a form of
price control and deters new construction.
There is already a litany of restrictions,
including the California Environmental
Quality Act, or CEQA, that are stagnating
supply, he said. Requiring developers to
build affordable units means the cost is
often borne on the market-rate renters or
buyers, as companies must ensure construction costs pencil out, Lyon said.
Theyre called inclusionary polices but
we see them as really exclusionary policies because they artificially restrict supply, increase prices and, with these price
increases, drive middle-class families out
of the housing market, Lyon said. Its
really a government and a social responsibility here, its not the responsibility

of a few new homebuyers.

But many cities have found such inclusionary policies one of the few helpful
alternatives to create affordable units since
the loss of redevelopment agencies in
2012. San Mateo, a charter city that has a
voter-approved inclusionary zoning ordinance for rental projects, frequently requires
developers to construct a portion of affordable units as they seek a piece of the
Peninsulas hot housing market.
Mullin, a former South San Francisco
councilman, noted his hometown also successfully used such ordinances before they
were stripped away by the courts.
Despite the controversy, Mullin said the
proposal has a better chance as Gov. Jerry
Brown vetoed a similar bill in 2013 indicating he wanted to await the courts decision
in the CBIA v. San Jose case.

Unlocking seniors
from property tax fears
Mullins tax proposal also mirrors a similar bill tried in the state Senate. With
Realtors sponsoring the bill, hes hopeful
it will gain more traction.
Alex Creel, senior vice president of government affairs with CAR, agreed AB 2668
helps address housing affordability.
It benefits seniors but also benefits the
marketplace because it frees up the properties they are sitting on, Creel said. The
property they bought for $150,000 is now
worth $700,000 and they dont want to
move because they dont want to pay the
increased property tax.
Proposition 13 had an effect of locking
people into their homes spawning subsequent voter-approved laws. Currently
propositions 60 and 90 allow seniors to
transfer their Proposition 13 tax rate so
long as its toward an equal or less expensive property; and within the same county
or one of 10 participating counties.
Many people feel trapped in their homes
for property tax purposes, Creel said.
AB 2668 works by allowing seniors to
transfer their lower rate to a more expensive
property while paying additional taxes on
the difference.
For example, under this blended system,
say a senior bought a home for $100,000 in
1985 then sold it in 2016 for $1 million. If

THE DAILY JOURNAL

they buy a condo that costs $1.2 million,
theyd pay taxes on $300,000 blending
the base 1985 amount and the difference
between the sale and new home purchase
prices.
As an amendment to voter-approved
propositions, Mullins bill would place the
proposal on a future ballot and needs a twothirds approval before being enacted.
Opponents contend its unfair to allow
those whove already long benefited from
lower tax rates to continue using
Proposition 13 incentives while new homebuyers, many struggling to afford the market, are left at a disadvantage.
Creel said encouraging seniors to downsize would free up homes thereby increasing
supply.
Mullin agreed, adding, the goal here is a
more effective utilization of what is a scarce
resource on the Peninsula.
As to budgetary impact, Mullin and Creel
said they suspect it would be a wash at minimum. Although the state may miss out on
collecting more from seniors, those buying
their homes will pay a higher tax based on
reassessed property values.
The property that the senior is living in
today, once that becomes available, not
only does it open it up for a family to move
into, it also brings the tax revenue up to the
market value, Creel said. Now youve got
1 percent of the current value instead of the
30-year-old Prop. 13 value. From that perspective, I think it does a great deal to help
raise money for counties.
The tax bill has been referred to the
Assembly Committee on Revenue and
Taxation while the inclusionary zoning bill
has been referred to the committees on
Local Government and Housing and
Community Development.
Mullin noted both bills are strong steps
in what needs to be a comprehensive package of tools to address the states housing
crisis.
Affordable housing has risen to the top
of the issues of concern at the Capitol,
Mullin said. In lieu of the governor
embracing a restoration of redevelopment
tools, the Assembly is trying to come up
with a series of solutions. But these are partial solutions, theres no one solution the
housing affordability crisis.

suicide bombings by Islamic militants.
With at least one attacker at large and an
unknown number of accomplices, police
detained six people in raids around the
Belgian capital Thursday night. In a Paris
suburb, a man suspected of plotting an imminent attack was also detained Thursday, but
the interior minister reported no apparent
link with the Brussels airport and subway
bombings or the Nov. 13 attacks on Paris.
Authorities lowered Belgiums terror-

threat level by one notch, although they said

the situation remained grave and another
attack is likely and possible.
Belgium had been on its highest alert ever
since Tuesdays bombings in the Brussels
airport and subway that killed 31 people and
wounded 270.
We dont have to be proud about what
happened, Justice Minister Koen Geens
said of the governments failures to halt the
attacks. We perhaps did things we should
not have done.
Less than a mile from the bombed subway
station, European justice and home ministers held an emergency meeting where they
condemned the terrorist acts as an attack
on our open, democratic society. They also
urged the European parliament to adopt an
agreement allowing authorities to exchange
airport passenger data.

The battle with Islamist terrorism

Other voices

The Telegraph, United Kingdom

hen exactly the Islamic terrorist attacks on Western

targets began is hard to
pinpoint. Perhaps the rst were was
those on the Paris Metro in 1995, or
maybe the 1998 assaults on American
embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
Whichever date is chosen, the truth is
clear: this is a long war, a struggle
that has already lasted far longer than
both World Wars combined. And the
bloody events in Brussels painfully
remind us, yet again, that there is no
end in sight.
The possibility of mass-casualty
attacks in our cities has become a permanent part of modern life in many
Western nations.
Another truth about jihadi violence
is equally awkward: the answer will be
neither quick nor simple. There are
many things to work on: better policing; stronger borders; improved com-

munity relations; clearer leadership

from prominent Muslims; more stability and democracy and prosperity
in majority-Muslim countries in the
Middle East and elsewhere, and
engaged and active Western foreign
and trade policies. All these and more
will be required before this is over.
Pressing needs these may be, but
perhaps most urgent is some sort of
resolution to Syrias agonies, which
have given the jihadists both the
physical space in which to operate
and a cause to expound to misguided
Muslim youths. Tentative peace talks
in Geneva, currently frozen, need
more attention and effort.
Meanwhile, it is inevitable that the
location of the latest attacks will
invite debate about the European
Union, its members security, and
Britains role in that union. Among
the lessons to be drawn, one of the

foremost is surely that an organization where members share responsibility for security is one where the
weakness of one is the concern of all.
Belgiums response to extremism is
evidently in need of improvement, a
task that all EU members should support in due course.
As for Britain, we should beware
any analysis that suggests the
Brussels attacks conclusively prove
the case for leaving or remaining. The
truth is more complicated and troubling: in an interconnected world,
where people and ideas travel with
almost equal ease, security problems
in nearby states will concern Britain
whether or not we share a union with
them.
Earlier generations had their own
wars, and learned the hard way that the
solutions are never swift nor easy.
The battle with Islamist terrorism is
the long war of our age. We must
show the patience and resolution of
our forebears.

Reduced garbage pickup
Editor,
Im glad the San Mateo City
Council chose to not participate in
RethinkWastes pilot collection program (San Mateo says no to reduced
garbage pickup in the March 23 edition of the Daily Journal). While the
ultimate objective is good, the
method is severely awed.
At issue is presumably the stillexcessive amount of landll trash
plus the inclusion in that trash of
items that should have been put in
either the compost or the recycle
bins. Changing collection schedules
does nothing to address those problems.
For compost or recyclable items in
the solid waste containers,
RethinkWaste (or whomever) should
do an outreach program to teach us all
what can and should be in compost or
recycle, and what items must be in the
solid waste bins. If people dont
know what belongs where, they will
continue to act out of habit or ignorance. And if the legitimate amount of
solid waste is still excessive, then we
must look again at how items are
packaged and attempt to make that
more eco-friendly.
Yes, lets save the planet and reduce
green-house gasses. But lets do it
with programs that actually move us
toward that goal. Collecting the same
bad stuff half as often does nothing to
further this cause.

Thats the
stupidest idea
Editor,
After reading the front page story,
San Mateo says no to reduced
garbage pickup in the March 23 edition of the Daily Journal, I had to
shake my head and say, Thats the
stupidest idea. I mean, to think,
some ofcial at the RethinkWaste
garbage collection company thinks
that reducing the number of garbage
pickups is somehow going to convince ordinary people to start composting and recycling more; its nuts.
In the apartment building I live in,
we cant even get the other tenants to
clean out the lint trap in the dryer in
our laundry room.As it is, some of
the other tenants cant even gure out
that the light blue bins are clearly for
recycle items only; yet, they still put
wet garbage in it every week.So the
idea of magically convincing people
to do a better job of recycling and
composting, to reduce the overall
waste going into our landlls, is the
stupidest idea I heard lately.
Good luck with that one.

At one with the

new tech surge
T

he San Francisco Bay Area has been beset by

onslaughts of new residents for decades, starting
with the original Gold Rush and continuing
most recently with the dot-com boom and the current
high-tech surge. For the past two decades, the impact of
new economic opportunity has been the yin and the
yang of this area both creating and destroying.
Economic prosperity has cleared the way for new opportunity yet also scorched a well-known and, for some,
quiet and comfortable existence. Progress has cleared
the way for a birth of a new economy now in its awkward toddler stage, fun at times but also tumbling and
occasionally frightening.
And in doing so, it has created conflict that arises in a
more evident way as the old
struggles to keep up with the
new.
Government has struggled
to keep up and is pulled in
new directions by the appeal
of the proximity of this new
surge yet are sympathetic to
those who created the foundation on which this new age
could be built. Those foundation builders are the longtime
residents who feel suddenly
out of place within this new norm and sometimes question the value of change rather than seeing its promise.
The conflict can be ugly, almost spiteful, and manifests
itself in unusual ways when large swaths of neighborhoods change and dramatically become more unaffordable to those foundation builders and working class who
do not directly participate in the new economy. There is
also a certain amount of mistrust assigned to the new
economy since much of it is based on intangibles or
seeking to solve problems that could be seen as bizarre
or seemingly unnecessary late-night taco delivery for
instance. Not helping those newly on the outside is that
many of the nascent companies have quirky names that
sometimes have nothing to do with the services they
provide but with a nomenclature solely to reflect an
imaginative and playful future based in sometimes
monotonous reality cloud storage and procurement
strategies for instance.
It is the new economy that seems foreign for many,
and also suspicious for those who remember all too well
the impacts of the dot-com crash. We as a collective
people have supposedly learned our lesson from that
crash, as there is still a lingering feeling that this latest
surge will be sure to end, and perhaps be as ugly as the
last one, with large-scale vacancies and emptied city
coffers on the negative side, and less traffic and overall
impact on the positive side. That is, of course, for those
who remain unscathed.
It is that reliance on new money that causes some
amount of alarm for those with the long view. While
new money means new jobs, new ideas and more revenue, it also means strained infrastructure and dramatic
changes now and also once it all goes away. In fact, one
might think that the new money could dry up once the
Federal Reserve raises interest rates a few ticks higher
and there is less pull for new areas of investment outside
the relative safety of Treasury bonds or even savings
accounts. If it does, however, it is not as if we return to
stasis. As an era develops, it changes, progresses and
sometimes transmogrifies Heraclitus style. You know,
no man steps foot in the same river since its always
changing. So enjoy the ride if you can. After all, the
Bay Area is almost by definition protean. And thats a
good thing. The prospects of such an area either brought
you or your ancestors, unless you are of Ohlone descent.
This new and changed environment may also become
the new norm, rather than ending with a crash and, if it
is, we must pull together and roll forward. Doing so
takes making connections and that means all sides.
After all, eventually those who come for a Gold Rush
settle down and raise families, and start building a foundation of their own.

Stocks close mixed in quiet pre-holiday trading

By Alex Veiga

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The U.S. stock market capped a

week of mostly light trading
Thursday with its first weekly loss
since mid-February.
A slide in banks and other financial services companies pulled the
market broadly lower for much of
the day. By late afternoon, the Dow
Jones industrial average and the
Nasdaq composite recaptured losses from earlier in the day. The
Standard & Poors 500 index, a
broad measure of the stock market,
stayed in the red. Oil prices fell.
Trading was relatively quiet
ahead of the Easter holiday weekend. U.S. markets will be closed
Friday for the Good Friday holiday.
Volume is very light today,
probably the lightest that weve
had in a month, said Quincy
Krosby, market strategist at
Prudential Financial. That can
skew markets in either direction.
The Dow rose 13.14 points, or
0.1 percent, to 17,515.73. The
S&P 500 index slipped 0.77
points, or 0.04 percent, to
2,035.94. The Nasdaq added 4.64
points, or 0.1 percent, to
4,773.50.
Coming into this week the
stock market had mounted a fiveweek string of gains that helped
reverse some of Wall Streets

stumbling start to 2016.

The markets rebound gained
momentum last week, when the
Federal Reserve announced that it
would slow the pace of interest rate
increases this year, citing worries
about the global economy.
But this week, some Fed bank
presidents made public comments
that suggested the pace of rate
hikes might not be slowed after all.
One Fed official, James Bullard,
president of the St. Louis Federal
Reserve Bank, pointed to a broadly
unchanged economic outlook and
said a case could be made for a possible rate hike next month if the
next round of jobs data exceed official targets.

The remarks drove up the value of

the dollar against other major currencies, pushing down commodity
prices.
It also helped point stocks lower
from the get-go on Thursday, as
investors fretted over the impact
on U.S. exports.
It makes the market nervous and
it suggests that perhaps theres dissent at the Federal Reserve,
Krosby said.
A government report indicating
that orders to U.S. factories for
long-lasting manufactured goods
fell 2.8 percent in February didnt
help.
Financial stocks took the
biggest hit. The sector pared some

of its early losses, but still ended

the day down the most among the
S&P 500 indexs 10 sectors, 0.7
percent.
Prudential Financial lost $2.07,
or 2.8 percent, to $70.76, while
Morgan Stanley shed 34 cents, or
1.3 percent, to $24.93. Wells
Fargo fell 86 cents, or 1.7 percent,
to $48.90.
The decline in commodities also
hurt some energy companies,
including Williams Cos. The natural gas producer fell the most
among stocks in the S&P 500
index, tumbling 91 cents, or 5.6
percent, to $15.35.
Several companies also moved
on earnings news.

Sportsmans Warehouse sank

11.3 percent after the company
released a disappointing forecast.
The stock shed $1.56 to $12.23.
Others fared better.
Signet Jewelers rose 2.9 percent
after the retailer posted solid quarterly results and its annual profit
forecast was better than expected.
The stock added $3.41 to $121.42.
KB Home also reported strong
first-quarter results. The homebuilder gained 83 cents, or 6.3 percent, to $13.93. And PVH, owner
of the Calvin Klein and Tommy
Hilfiger brands, rose $6.66, or 7.6
percent, to $94.29 after it reported
better-than-anticipated quarterly
profit and revenue.
Meanwhile, Office Depot and
Staples vaulted on mounting optimism that a court will allow the
office supply competitors to combine even though regulators
oppose the deal. Office Depot
gained 57 cents, or 9 percent, to
$6.91. Staples climbed 71 cents,
or 7 percent, to $10.76.
Stock markets in Europe posted
sizable losses.
Germanys DAX dropped 1 percent, while Frances CAC-40 fell 3
percent. Britains FTSE 100 slid
1.3 percent. In Asia, Hong Kongs
Hang Seng slid 1.3 percent.
Sydneys S&P ASX 200 fell 1.1
percent, while Seouls Kospi was

Volkswagen gets a month for plan on diesel emissions fix

By Sudhin Thanawala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A worker monitors a Volkswagens emissions during testing.

SAN
FRANCISCO

Volkswagen and government regulators must present a detailed plan

within a month on getting nearly
600,000 diesel cars to comply
with clean air laws or risk the possibility of a trial this summer over
an emissions cheating scandal, a
federal judge said Thursday.
Senior U.S. District Court Judge
Charles Breyer said he wants to
know the timing of the fix and any
planned payments to owners,
among other details, by April 21.
I would hope by the 21st that
as many outstanding issues as

possible will be wrapped up, but at

least the issues of what is to be
done with these cars must be
resolved by that date, he said.
Breyer said former FBI Director
Robert
Mueller
told him
Volkswagen, government regulators and attorneys for car owners
had made substantial progress
toward a resolution that would get
the polluting cars off the road. He
did not provide any details. Breyer
appointed Mueller to oversee settlement talks.
The parties were not able to
immediately announce the solution because engineering technicalities and other important issues
still needed to be resolved, Breyer

said Mueller told him.

Volkswagen acknowledged in
September that it intentionally
defeated emissions tests and put
dirty vehicles on the road. The
cheating allowed cars to pass laboratory emissions tests while
spewing harmful nitrogen oxide at
up to 40 times the level allowed
when operating on real roads.
The Department of Justice sued
Volkswagen on behalf of the U.S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency. The company also is facing lawsuits from angry car owners,
who
are
demanding
Volkswagen buy the vehicles
back. Those cases are both before
Breyer.

Shareholder mutiny begins

another Yahoo soap opera
By Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Shareholder rebellions at Yahoo are becoming like presidential

elections they are happening every four
years.
Activist investor Starboard Value launched
a widely anticipated mutiny Thursday in a letter announcing its intent to overthrow Yahoo
CEO Marissa Mayer and the rest of the companys board. It marks the opening salvo in a
battle for control of Yahoo Inc. that could drag
into the summer.
This is the third attempted coup at Yahoo
since 2008, all led by different shareholders
fed up with different management teams fruitless attempts to turn around the company.
The two previous uprisings in 2008 and
2012 culminated in Yahoo giving board seats
to the dissident shareholders. The unrest also
contributed to the departures of two of
Yahoos previous CEOs, company co-founder
Jerry Yang and Scott Thompson.
Now, Mayers job is in jeopardy as a prolonged revenue slump at Yahoo deepens nearly four years into her reign as CEO.
We have been extremely disappointed with
Yahoos dismal financial performance, poor
management execution, egregious compensa-

tion and hiring practices,

and general lack of
acco un t ab i l i t y,
Starboard CEO Jeffrey
Smith wrote in Thursdays
letter.
As part of a process
known as a proxy fight,
Starboard nominated nine
alternative candidates to
Marissa Mayer oppose Mayer and
Yahoos other current
directors at the companys annual shareholder
meeting in June.
The list of alternatives includes Smith, who
has been publicly skewering Yahoo for the
past 18 months in an attempt to pressure
Mayer into taking drastic steps that he
believes will boost the companys stock
price.
Starboard, which owns a 1.7 percent stake
in Yahoo, engineered a 2014 proxy battle that
tossed out the entire board of Darden
Restaurants Inc., the owner of Olive Garden.
In a statement, Yahoo said it would review
Starboards nominees and respond in due
course. The Sunnyvale company snubbed
Smiths request for representation on its
board two weeks ago when it appointed two
directors with no ties to Starboard.

on home ice

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Carlmont softball team continues to count down the wins to

coach Jim Liggetts 1,000th victory and going into Thursdays
showdown with rival Hillsdale,
the Scots needed just five more
wins to deliver that magical number to their longtime coach.
The Scots and Liggett will have
to wait for win No. 996 as
Hillsdales Eryn McCoy shut down
the Carlmont offense and Lauren
Quirke did what few Peninsula
Athletic League teams can do
hit Carlmont pitching hard.
McCoy allowed two runs on nine
hits, while Quirke went 3 for 4
with a home run and three RBIs to
lead the Knights to a 5-2 victory
and handing the Scots their first
loss of the season in San Mateo
Thursday.
Carlmont is such a good team.
We knew we had to bring our A
game, said Hillsdale coach Randy
Metheany, who will be inducted
into the Peninsula Hall of Fame
later on this spring. Its fun.
McCoy, a four-year varsity player, appeared to be on a mission.
After her defense allowed a couple
of infield hits in the first inning,
McCoy did not allow another hit
until the sixth inning. Carlmont
did get to her in its final two atbats, scoring twice on four hits in
the sixth and coming up with three
more hits in the seventh.
But McCoy was not to be denied
on this day as she finished with 13
strikeouts.
The Carlmont game is always
the big game where we have to
bring it, McCoy said. I wanted it
(the win). We stepped on the field
for warmups, and with the music
going, we felt good.
McCoy was buoyed by a

Hillsdales Lauren Quirke singles to center in the first inning to drive in the Knights first run during a
5-2 win over Carlmont. Quirke had the big stick at the plate, going 3 for 4 with three RBIs, including a
two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth. It was the first loss of the season for Carlmont.

SAN JOSE Patrick Maroon scored the

go-ahead goal and assisted on another in
Edmontons four-goal second period that
carried the Oilers to a 6-3 victory over the
San Jose Sharks on Thursday night.
Lauri Korpokoski, Taylor Hall and Adam
Clendening also scored in the big second
that made sure Oilers coach Todd McLellan
wouldnt have to watch his old team clinch a
playoff berth.
Jordan Eberle added an insurance goal in
the third and Hall added an empty-netter as
Edmonton earned its first regulation win in
San Jose since Jan. 13, 2011. Cam Talbot
made 22 saves.
Tommy Wingels, Joe Pavelski and Patrick
Marleau scored for the
Sharks, who failed to
hold a two-goal lead
after the first period and
missed a chance to
clinch the playoffs for a
second straight game.
More importantly, San
Jose again failed to take
advantage of losses by
Patrick Marleau Anaheim
and
Los
Angeles and remains
one point behind the Ducks and five behind
the Kings in the Pacific Division.
James Reimer made 16 saves.
After a dominant first period by the
Sharks, the Oilers took the game over in the
first 10 minutes of the second, scoring three
goals and holding San Jose to just one shot.
The barrage started when Korpokoski
deflected a point shot past Reimer early in
the period. The Oilers then scored twice in
45 seconds midway through the period to
take a 3-2 lead. A turnover by Marleau set up

Johan Cruyff, soccer legend, dead at 68

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dutch soccer great Johan Cruyff, who revolutionized the game with the concept of Total
Football, has died. He was 68.
Family spokeswoman Carole Thate confirmed to The Associated Press that Cruyff had
died. Joaquin Munoz of the Cruyff Foundation
in Barcelona said he died as a result of lung
cancer.
Obsessed by football to the end and ever the
positive thinker, Cruyff only last month said
his recovery was going well. He said I have
the feeling that I am 2-0 up in the first half.
The game is not over yet. Still I know that in

Johan Cruyff

the end, I will win. On

Thursday, he died.
Cruyff won European
championships
three
times with Ajax as a player and once with
Barcelona as a coach. He
was European player of
the year three times and,
in 1999, was named
Europes best player of

the 20th century.

Though a World Cup title eluded him, he was
the pivotal figure on the Netherlands 1974
national team that electrified the sport with its

Total Football tactics, with players constantly interchanging roles. The tactics influenced the game worldwide.
Cruyff smoked cigarettes most of his life
and finally quit after undergoing an emergency
bypass operation in 1991. After more heart
trouble in 1997, he vowed never to coach
again, though he remained a vocal football
critic and analyst.
Cruyffs wiry frame housed surprising athletic talent, unpredictable bursts of speed and
agility and precise ball-control that allowed
him to trick opponents, ghosting around
them with ease. His genius lay in his eyes and
mind, in his instinctive feel for how a move

would develop.
His could pass the ball with uncanny accuracy and wind up time and again at the right spot
at the climax of an attack.
Speed and insight are often confused, he
said. When I start running before everybody
else, I appear faster.
He scored 392 times in 520 games over a
19-year playing career.
But his influence reached far beyond creating goals, thanks to his qualities as a leader,
thinker and speaker. With a brash Amsterdam
accent, he put across his views about soccer

Pac-12 women
living up to hype
By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Throughout the season, the metrics kept

saying the Pac-12 Conference was the best
in the country.
When it came time to back it up in the
NCAA Tournament, the Pac-12 delivered.
Pac-12 teams will make up 25 percent of
the Sweet 16 when the womens regional
semifinals get started Friday. No. 2 seed
Oregon State, No. 3 seed UCLA, No. 4 seed
Stanford and No. 7 seed Washington all
advanced through the first weekend of the
tournament, giving the Pac-12 four teams in
the final 16 for the first time in conference
history. The league had never advanced more
than three teams beyond the first weekend.
Its awesome for the Pac-12 to have four
teams in the Sweet 16. We only started with
five to begin with, Stanford coach Tara
VanDerveer said. I think its a big statement. I think the win by Washington is
huge. ... I think people really took care of
business and thats awesome. But we know
weve been playing against good teams.
Oregon State romped into the regional
semis a year after getting upset in the second round. UCLA and Stanford both held off
upset bids on their home courts. And
Washington pulled the surprise of the first
two rounds by taking out two-time Final
Four participant Maryland on the Terrapins
home floor.
The only stumble came from No. 2 seed
Arizona State, which saw its run end with a

Top-seeded Kansas into Elite Eight

By Gary B. Graves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Perry Ellis scored 27

points to match a season high, Wayne
Selden Jr. added 19 and top-seeded Kansas
topped No. 5 Maryland for a 79-63 NCAA
Tournament South Region semifinal victory
Thursday night. The win put the Jayhawks
back into the Elite 8 for the first time since
2012.
It took time for the Jayhawks (33-4) to
get going, but once they finally seized the
lead late in the first half everything else fell
into place for their 17th straight victory.
They emerged from the break to make their
first six shots and steadily take control
behind senior forward Ellis, who made 10 of
17 from the field.
Selden was right there with 7-of-16
shooting to help Kansas earn a berth in
Saturdays regional final against Villanova.
The Terrapins (27-9) dictated the early
tempo and briefly engaged in a back-andforth game with the Jayhawks before eventually falling behind the tournament
favorite. Rasheed Sulaimon led Maryland
with 18 points.

Landen Lucas added 14 points and 11

rebounds while Frank Mason III had 11
points for Kansas, which outworked
Maryland 43-28 on the glass and outscored
the taller Terps 40-28 in the paint.
Better shooting also helped the
Jayhawks, who made 14 of 25 in the second
half and finished 29 of 62 from the field (47
percent).
Kansas just had to take its time to slow
down Maryland, which entered the game
with every starter averaging at least 11
points per contest. Its main focus was keeping Maryland guard Melo Trimble (17
points) from getting hot, a strategy that
worked as the sophomore made just 5 of 16
from the field with just one 3-pointer.
The Jayhawks defense kept other
Maryland players from becoming factors on
both ends as well and ended up holding the
Terps to just 40 percent shooting including
35 percent after halftime.
Maryland dictated the early tempo before
Kansas regrouped late in the first half to
eventually grab a 36-34 lead at the break.
Sulaimon got the Terps started with the
first of two 3-pointers in the first 10 minutes to provide an 18-12 lead, significant

considering they made just 1 of 18 from

long range in their second-round win over
Hawaii.
Kansas went 5 1/2 minutes without a field
goal but didnt flinch and eventually fought
back to take its first lead at 27-26 on two
Devonte Graham free throws with 5:33
remaining in the half. The teams then traded
6-2 runs with the Jayhawks making the last
one for a slim edge, better than they could
have expected after shooting 41 percent.
Ellis provided the steadying force with 12
points and added a couple more baskets during a 14-9 run for a 50-43 lead, a stretch in
which the Jayhawks made their first six
shots to start the second half.
Kansas was playing the way it wanted by
that point and kept up the tempo in building
a 16-point lead with four minutes left.

Oregon takes out defending champ Duke

By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANAHEIM Dillon Brooks scored 22

points and Oregon advanced to the brink of
its first Final Four in 77 years with an 82-68
victory over defending national champion
Duke on Thursday night in the West Region
semifinal of the NCAA Tournament.
Elgin Cook had 16 points and nine
rebounds for the top-seeded Ducks (31-6),
who will meet Oklahoma on Saturday. The
second-seeded Sooners routed Texas A&M
77-63.
After a season-long rise in the Pacific
Northwest, the Pac-12 champion Ducks
emphatically arrived on the national stage
with a strong second-half rally to beat the
mighty Blue Devils (25-11) for the first
time in school history.
Freshman Brandon Ingram scored 24
points, but Duke fell short of its third Elite
Eight trip in five years. The Blue Devils lost
five of their final 10 games.
No longer just a football school, Oregon
is flying high after comfortably holding off
Duke for one of the biggest wins in the pro-

grams history.
Oregon was the champion of the first
NCAA Tournament in 1939, but hasnt been
back to the Final Four since. The Ducks
advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time
since 2007 and the third time since 2002.
Brooks hit four 3-pointers to lead the
Ducks, who also broke the schools singleseason wins record with their 31st. Theyve
won 10 straight since mid-February while
winning the Pac-12s regular-season and
tournament titles.
Leading scorer Grayson Allen got 12 of
his 15 points in the second half, but Duke
couldnt make much progress after Oregon
jumped to a double-digit lead early in the
second half.
For all of coach Mike Krzyzewskis
incredible success, the Blue Devils are 0-5
in NCAA Tournament games in the Pacific
time zone.
The Ducks took charge shortly after halftime, following a tight first half in which
neither team made a big move. Oregon
jumped out to an 11-point lead after back-toback 3-pointers by Casey Benson and Chris
Boucher, and they got the arena rocking

with back-to-back fast-break dunks from

Jordan Bell and Cook moments later.
Duke even broke out a zone defense in an
attempt to slow down the Ducks, but their
balanced lineup always found another scorer.
Kobe Bryant and Apple CEO Tim Cook
watched the game from a Duke fan section,
while Nikes Phil Knight was among the
Oregon contingent. Rams running back and
Duke basketball fan Todd Gurley also attended the game.
Ingram had an outstanding NCAA
Tournament, scoring 69 points in Dukes
three games. If the skinny 18-year-old forward heads to the NBA as expected, hes
likely to be a top-three pick after showing
incredible promise in his only season in
Durham.

Sweet 16 romp over Aggies
ANAHEIM Jordan Woodard scored 22
points and Buddy Hield had 17 points and 10
rebounds to lead the second-seeded
Oklahoma Sooners to a 77-63 romp over
third-seeded and cold-shooting Texas A&M
in the NCAA West Regional on Thursday.
The Sooners (28-7) advanced to the Elite
Eight for the first time since 2009. Theyll
play Saturday against the Duke-Oregon winner.
The Sooners blew open a close game by
going on a 19-4 run during the last 7:42 of
the first half to take a 45-26 lead. The
Sooners forced the Aggies into bad shots
and turnovers, and Woodard was the catalyst
on the offensive end.
Tyler Davis scored 17 for A&M (28-9),
which reached the Sweet 16 with a thrilling
double-overtime victory against Northern
Iowa after rallying from 12 points down in
the final 44 seconds of regulation.
The Sooners advanced to the regional
finals for the first time since 2009, when
they lost to North Carolina in the South
Regional. Oklahoma is trying to reach the
Final Four for the first time since 2002,
when it lost to Indiana in the national semifinals.

national championship, sitting nearby.
Villanova will play either top-seeded
Kansas or No. 5 seed Maryland on Saturday
in the regional final.
Daniel Ochefu added 17 points, and Josh

Cubs beat Giants in slugfest

By Rick Eymer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Jake Arrieta left

the game in the first inning with a blister
and Madison Bumgarner left in the fourth as
the Chicago Cubs outlasted the San
Francisco Giants 16-14 on Thursday night.
The four-hour game had a combined 33
hits, three each by the Cubs Dexter Fowler
and the Giants Joe Panik.
Kris Bryant drove in three, Fowler, Jason
Heyward and Anthony Rizzo each had a pair
of RBIs for the Cubs.
Hunter Pence hit his sixth homer and
drove in a pair. Denard Span and Angel
Pagan each drove in two runs. Matt Duffy,
Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt also
drove in runs.
Arrieta recorded one out and gave up five
runs before departing with a blister on his
right thumb. Bumgarner allowed five runs in
3 2/3 innings.
Arrieta left the game as a precaution. A
blister developed on his right thumb and he
felt it best to leave before causing more
damage.
Its not really a setback, Arrieta said. I
would have loved to pitch longer but its
best to let it calm down. Theres no harm in
getting a slight breather. Ill still pitch

then allowing four straight hits and walking
the final two he faced.
I covered it in super glue and that was
preventing me from putting the proper
amount of pressure on the ball, Arrieta
said. I couldnt get a grip and couldnt finish.
Arrieta said he had a blister in a different
part of his thumb about a week ago and has
had a problem with dry skin in the past.
The most important thing is it didnt
split open, he said. I tried to prevent it
from getting any worse.
Bumgarner was happy with his effort,
except for the five runs on eight hits. He
walked three and struck out three.
I was glad to get the walks out of the
way, he deadpanned.
Overall, though, Bumgarner said he was
happy to get getting his pitch count into
the 80s.
At this point in the spring, you want to
get your arm in game shape and get ready to
go, he said. Its not ideal throwing 80
pitches in four innings but it was a good
workout.
Bumgarner also said a brief encounter
with Heyward was much ado about nothing.
I thought he was looking at me, but he
said he wasnt, Bumgarner said. I think he

was looking at second and might have been

a little upset. He has to be a little more discreet than that.
Heyward said it was a misunderstanding.
This has happened before, Heyward
said. Bumgarner threw me a great pitch and
I knew I was out no matter what. I was looking at Dexter to see if it was a ball or strike.
Then I see Buster Posey come into my view
and I thought oh, oh, this doesnt look
good. I wasnt trying to show anybody up.
There was no tipping of pitches and Im not
going to show up a teammate.
Fowler said he nodded his head, which
Heyward, who was looking for a more obvious sign, missed.
The next time Im going to do this
(shoving his arm out full length with a
thumbs up), Fowler said. Or this (turning
his thumb down).

But Marleau tied the game when he put in

his own rebound on the power play later in
the second and San Jose held Edmonton to
just one shot in the final 10 minutes.
Fortunately for the Oilers, that shot went in
when Connor McDavid set up Maroon on a
2-on-1 to make it 4-3 after two.
McDavid helped set up Eberles goal midway through the third when he burst past
the Sharks defense in the neutral zone to
create the scoring chance.
There was a brief fight early in the first
period as the Sharks sought retribution for
a game earlier this month when Darnell
Nurse jumped Roman Polak late in the game
and started throwing punches before Polak
even got his gloves off. Polak broke his
nose and had a bruised left eye socket in the
fight that earned Nurse a three-game suspension.

Quirke had the big day for the Knights,
driving in her teams first run and then giving them some insurance with her home run
in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Shes extremely strong, Metheany said
of Quirke. That pitch (she hit for the home
run) was inside. She turned on it and she
crushed it.
Hillsdale (2-0 PAL Bay, 3-4 overall) put
Carlmont (3-1, 10-1) behind the 8-ball
early, taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the
first inning. Kalina Chan led off the game
by legging out a bunt single. She went to
second when McCoy walked to bring up
Quirke, who lined a single to center to drive
in Chan.
The Knights doubled their lead in the bottom of the third. Quirke led off the inning
with a double down the left-field line and
came in to score on a Bridget Nasir opposite-field single to right.
Hillsdale made it 3-0 with a run in the
fifth. With the bases loaded, Gabby Mataele
drew a walk to plate Talia Franco, who had
singled and stole second earlier in the
inning.
Between the Hillsdale runs, McCoy was in
control, at one point striking out five batters in row between the first and third
innings including striking out the side in
order in the second. She continued to baffle
the Carlmont hitters through the fifth
inning.
Were lucky it (the final score) was only

second-round loss to perennial power

Tennessee.
While the Pac-12 fell on its face in the
mens tournament with six of seven teams
eliminated on the opening weekend, the
womens teams are living up to their
billing. The SEC is the only other conference to advance four teams to the regional
semifinals.
I was hoping for five, VanDerveer said.
I think ASU played a team that in a lot of
ways is a really talented team and they just
played really well.
Heres a look at the four remaining Pac-12
teams:

Oregon State
A season ago, the Beavers were the
upstarts looking to the NCAAs as the next
step in their progression to becoming an
elite program, only to get upset in the second round on their home floor by Gonzaga.
That lesson has hung with Oregon State
all season and when the same situation presented itself again, the Beavers made quick
work of St. Bonaventure.
We know we didnt want it to feel like
that again, Pac-12 player of the year Jamie
Weisner said. We didnt focus on the past.
We focused on what we had to do going forward.
The Beavers have what appears to be the
easiest matchup of the remaining Pac-12
teams, facing No. 6 seed DePaul in the
regional semis, but a win there would likely
set up a regional final against Baylor in
Dallas.

UCLA
The Bruins are in the Sweet 16 for the first

since 1999 and the team is expected to take

one with the No. 2 overall pick in this
years draft. That rookie possibly
Californias Jared Goff or North Dakota
States Carson Wentz will compete with
Griffin, the second selection in 2012.
Jackson and other members of the Browns
attended Wentzs pro day Thursday in North
Dakota.
The Browns recently released quarterback
Johnny Manziel, a player they once thought
would solve their problems.
A dual threat with his arm and legs, Griffin
led the Redskins to the NFC East title in his
first season before seriously injuring a knee
in the playoffs. He also had a falling out
with Washingtons coaches and he was
demoted all the way to third string last season before the Redskins released him March
7.
time in 17 years thanks to guard Jordin
Canada. Held in check by South Florida for
three quarters of the second-round matchup,
Canada scored 17 of her 19 points in the
fourth quarter as the Bruins held on.
The last time UCLA reached the regional
semifinals was 1999, when the Bruins lost
to Louisiana Tech in the regional final. The
Bruins reward for getting this far is facing
No. 2 seed Texas in Bridgeport,
Connecticut, and the winner likely getting a
date with undefeated UConn.

Stanford
The Cardinal needed a late rally and Lili
Thompsons three-point play in the closing
seconds to beat No. 12 seed South Dakota
State in the second round. Stanford did not
win a share of the regular-season conference
title or the conference tournament for the
first time since 2000. But the Cardinal are in
the Sweet 16 for a ninth straight season.
Stanford has the most difficult challenge
in the regional semis, facing No. 1 seed
Notre Dame.

Washington
The Huskies are the surprise of the four
after beating Maryland in the second round.
Its been 15 years since the Huskies last
made the regional semifinals, but with a
scorer like Kelsey Plum anything is possible with the Huskies. Plum had 32 points in
the win over Maryland and will need another big game when Washington faces No. 3
seed Kentucky on the Wildcats home floor.
We felt like the Pac-12 Conference
schedule and conference tournament particularly had really gotten us prepared for (the
Maryland) game and that weekend and the
way it all unfolded it turned out to be 100
percent true, Washington coach Mike
Neighbors said.

and everything surrounding the game
with irresistible force.
His commentary became oft-quoted
classics: Every disadvantage has its
advantage, You cant win without
the ball.
As a coach he had 242 victories in
387 matches, with 75 draws and 70
losses.
Cruyff was heavily involved in tactics from the start of his career. Along
with Rinus Michels, his coach at Ajax
and Barcelona, he helped develop
Total Football.
Under the strategy, players pass the
ball frequently to seek advantage, and
switch positions seamlessly to adjust
to the flow of play. Latin American
admirers referred to the orange-clad
Dutch national team as The
Clockwork Orange.
Cruyff was the personification of a
total footballer, playing deep or shallow as the moment required, as deadly
from the wings as from his assigned
position in the center. He was among
the first to see defenders as part of the
attack.
With Cruyff on the field, Ajax won
the European Championship for three
consecutive years from 1971-1973
before he moved to FC Barcelona
midseason in 1973 and led the middle-of-the-table team to its first
national title in a decade.
That season was crowned with a 5-0
away win at Barcelonas arch-rival
Real Madrid so sweet the Catalans
still sometimes refer to Cruyff as El
Salvador, the savior.
The transfer fee paid by Barcelona
was a world record and is seen as a
milestone in the commercialization
of sport. He was also one of the first
soccer players to take on corporate
sponsorships.

Batman v
Superman is
chin-sanity
By Jerry Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Its the ultimate cleft chin throwdown in BvS: DoJ.

Batman? The Internet practically exploded with controversy about the choice of Chin
Affleck as the caped crusader. He is serviceable but, in defense of the actor, we very
recently had another movie Batman the signature rendering of him only
1,344 days ago! The latest Dark Knight is virtually indistinguishable from
Nolan/Bales, but does ratchet up the violence considerably.
Superman? We first met this version of the Steely man, three years
ago. Henry Chinvill continues to play him as an angsty, alienated
tragic hero, apparently tackling the role going the Nietzschean
interpretative route, circa 1883. This Superman is bit less
brawn and a lot more emo.
And lest we leave out the non-clefts, we have chin three.
While not cut twain, its quite pronounced nevertheless.
Meet Lex Luthor, played by Jesse Eisenchin (The
Social Network). The supervillain is often the thespian
focal point in superhero movies, and Eisenchin tries too
hard to meet the antagonist high bar set by such notables
as Ian McKellen, Tom Hiddleston, Heath Ledger, Alfred
Molina, Terence Stamp and Gene Hackman (Geek points

BURBANK The oldest actor ever to don the Dark

Knights cape and cowl by a good five years, 43-year-old
Ben Affleck wasnt about to get into a competition with his
32-year-old Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice costar Henry Cavill over whos the better fighter. Not even
a friendly one.
Henrys great at it. And Im just too old for that (expletive), said Affleck, whose Batman, earthly limitations
and all, takes on the Man of Steel in the Zack Snyder
film out Friday.
Bens being very generous but its not that
tricky to do the Superman stuff, Cavill quickly
responded. What youre doing is youre
throwing punches and then something super
powered takes over. The CGI kicks in.
Hes great with heat vision! You

Bill Murray shares some favorite poems
NEW YORK Bill Murray has turned up everywhere from
bachelor parties to baseball games, but his latest surprise
has a more literary side: He shares some favorite poems in
the April issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, which comes out
Friday. The actor is featured on a page dedicated to National
Poetry Month, offering brief asides on works by Galway
Kinnell, Lucille Clifton, Thomas Lux and Naomi Shihab
Nye. For Cliftons inspirational what the mirror said,
Murray comments, everybody needs an Attagirl! now and

reference to sharing a meal with the late John Keats.

the story of Mike, a former star college

about the worlds most famous superheroes
knows that its not exactly a fair pairing.
After all, no matter how much Batman bulks
up or spends on gadgets and armor, hes still
a man. Superman is something else. His
actions in 2013s Man of Steel proved it,
and also set into motion the events that lead
to the showdown in Batman v Superman.
Supermans Man of Steel triumph came
at a cost. The bad guy was defeated, but his
actions left a city destroyed, thousands of
lives lost, and it made a powerful enemy in
the superhero next door Batman.
Afflecks Batman is older, wiser, and a little more jaded than weve ever seen him
before. Hes also suspicious of this all-powerful god-like being and decides that something must be done.
Thankfully, that fundamental day versus
night, man versus alien rivalry didnt carry
over when the cameras stopped rolling,
although Affleck laughed that he was still
getting used to the idea that hes not the
young guy on set anymore.
This is a hard movie, mechanically. It was
disjointed in a lot of ways putting it together, Affleck said. It was good that we got
along and I had somebody like Henry to help
me get through it. If we had hated each other
it would have been an agonizing process. It
was a long 120 days.
Plus, Cavill said, consistently trying to
one-up someone is exhausting.
Besides, both actors had enough to think
about, between making their characters distinctive and also getting into fighting
shape. They had an advantage over many of
their Hollywood counterparts just by nature
of the fact that theyre both north of 6 feet
tall, but they still needed to build muscle and
quickly lean down before filming started so
they wouldnt have fat faces either, Cavill
said.
Affleck said the costumers essentially
became his conscience during the process.
They have to keep coming over and doing
measurements over and over again because

WEEKEND JOURNAL
the suit has to fit just right, Affleck said. It
gives you good track of your body. You feel
like if youre not getting bigger the costumers will know it and think you must be
slacking off.
Ultimately it was about establishing a
believable reality for Batmans brute power
on screen. Audiences really want and
respect that actors will get themselves physically in the kind of shape that its plausible
to do this stuff, Affleck said. Hugh
Jackmans got to look right. Hes got to
look like Wolverine. When you see him, its
impressive and it makes you believe it.
Physical presence aside, Cavill and
Affleck both relished in the scope and scale
of the endeavor and its ultimate reach.
Affleck, in his first outing as the Dark
Knight, will continue on in the Justice
League movies too, the first of which starts
shooting this year. This has become the
widest, broadest genre for communicating
and storytelling, particularly internationally. Youre able to use these stories to evoke
interesting themes and tell stories that you
think might have resonance. Theres something really powerful in that, Affleck said.
Chris Terrio, who won an Oscar for his
Argo script, co-wrote Batman v
Superman: Dawn of Justice and certainly
made sure to lace it with big ideas that go
much deeper than many contemporary comic
adaptations.
When Superman shows up he engenders a
lot of fear. Hes so powerful that people feel
threatened and so theres this notion of how
we behave when were threatened and how it
provokes our lesser selves we have the
urge to strike out at someone because theyre
powerful, Affleck said. Superman, too, looks
a little different from the selfless do-gooder
who people know and love in this film.
Superman is an ideal. Hes something to
aspire to be, Cavill said. Were going
through an evolution of Kal-El becoming the
true Superman who we know in the comic
books. In this hes making mistakes and
learning from them and having emotional,
knee jerk reactions and realizing that those
are not the way to deal with things when it
comes to being earths savior...its a difficult
line to toe. People care a lot about these
characters.

to those of you who can name the villains).

He is the worst part of this movie, methodscreeching his way through the role. I call
reboot.
In the gorgeous, perfectly proportionate
chin department, Diana Prince or Wonder
Woman (Israeli supermodel Gal Gadot)
makes her cinematic debut. Hers is the best
character in BvS: DoJ, but her performance is leadened by a heavy accent which
makes some of her lines indiscernible. But
this is the amazingly progressive
Hollywood big studio were talking about
shes hot. Who cares what shes saying?
Another scene stealer is an old school,
Oscar-winning chin, Jeremy Irons, who
plays Batmans butler and personal Siri,
Alfred Pennyworth. If he sticks around for
future installments, he may wrestle the Best
Alfred title from Michael Caine, if there
were such a thing, although how can there
not be considering how swiftly movie
properties get rebooted these days.
(Speaking of a Oscars and chins, I think
Ive given Chris Rock some good material
for more Asian jokes at next years
Academy Awards).
There are other super chins coming soon,
too, as hinted throughout the movie.
Theres a really, really fast chin. Theres a
half-robot chin. Theres even an underwater
chin.
These hints of chins (chints?) and other
future comic book matters come often during the 153-minute running time. There are
Easter Eggs (Google Easter egg movie if

you dont know the concept) everywhere

about the so-called Dawn of Justice (as in
the Justice League), an Avengers-like collection of superheroes who gather together
to fight for truth, justice and the almighty
risk-mitigating business model of blockbuster films with interconnected cinematic
worlds and promotional tie-ins.
In fact, the sluggish first half of the
movie is nothing but director Zack Snyder
(300) playing cinematic Easter Bunny,
which coincidentally may explain why it
opens this holiday weekend.
The second half has some decent
moments. Snyder maintains the consistency of his oeuvre brilliant visuals
wrapped around a core that is somewhere on
the spectrum of stale to expired. He doesnt
get much out of his actors either. Youve
heard of an actors director? Snyder is a
visuals director. Hence, the movie looks
and feels fantastic to the senses, but not
much more.
And despite what nominally feels like a
traditional film that has a beginning, a middle and an end, it feels too much like a setup
for more movies.
This new corporate movie-making style
portends a frightening and absurd entertainment future, where there will no longer be
movies any more. Movies will be become
merely previews and commercials for
movies to come, which in turn will only be
previews and commercials for more movies
to come, and so on and on and on, ad infinitum, ad nauseum, ad chinseum.

Batman v Superman signals

a new dawn for DC Comics
By Lindsey Bahr and Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Comedian and actor Garry Shandling died Thursday.

Shandling, comedian, Larry

Sanders Show creator, dies
By Anthony McCartney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Garry Shandling, who as an actor and

comedian masterminded a brand of self-inflicted phony
docudrama with The Larry Sanders Show, has died.
Los Angeles Police officer Tony Im said Shandling died
Thursday in Los Angeles of an undisclosed cause. He was
66.
Im said fire officials were dispatched to Shandlings Los
Angeles home Thursday morning for a reported medical
emergency. Shandling was transported to a hospital, where
he was pronounced dead.
Coroners Lt. David Smith said it appeared Shandling died
of natural causes, but an official cause of death determination had not yet been made. Smith said no autopsy was
planned, but officials would determine Shandlings cause of
death based on medical records and his medical history.
Im did not have any details on the nature of the emergency. He said police will conduct a death investigation.
An innovative and eccentric humorist with pillowy lips
and a voice that always seemed on the verge of a whine,
Shandling claimed to disdain too much logic cluttering his
life.
The answer isnt gonna be in the facts, he told the
Associated Press in 2009. Its gonna be in intuition.
Thats how I work creatively. Im always teaching people
that the answer to that creative question is right here, in the
room, between us here.
More to the point, it was dealing with the questions he
confronted in himself.
Born on Nov. 29, 1949 in Chicago, Shandling was raised
in Tucson, Arizona. On arriving in Los Angeles as a young
adult, it was a short hop from a brief stint in the advertising
business to comedy writing and stand-up.
Then in the 1980s, he began to experiment with TV comedy, and to toy with the sitcom form, with his first series,
Its Garry Shandlings Show, a Showtime project that
made no bones about its inherently artificial nature: the
actors in this otherwise standard domestic comedy routinely broke the fourth wall to comment on what they were up
to. Even the theme song began with the explanatory lyrics,
The theme to Garrys show....
Then, in August 1992, Shandling created for HBO his
comic masterpiece with The Larry Sanders Show, which
starred him as an egomaniacal late-night TV host with an
angst-ridden show-biz life behind the scenes.
It was just three months after Johnny Carson had retired
from The Tonight Show, where Shandling had appeared as
a stand-up and occasional Carson stand-in. It seemed a wry
but deeply felt homage to the King of Late Night.
But it was more. Larry Sanders proved to be an act of
courage, a brave effort led by someone portraying a character dangerously close to himself. As Larry, Garry dug deep to
confront his own demons, and did it brilliantly as the series
teetered between dual realities: public and private; makebelieve and painfully true.

NEW YORK Batman v Superman

may be a massive movie a $250 million globe-trotting blockbuster with a
pulverizing marketing assault but
its just the opening salvo of a much
larger campaign that aims to restore DC
Comics to prominence in Marvel-dominated multiplexes.
It has not gotten off to a great start.
Before audiences rush this weekend to
see the superhero showdown of
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,
critics treated moviegoers to a smackdown of their own. The poor response
godawful was one of the harsher
but not uncommon judgments may
mean little to opening weekend box
office. But it suggests Batman v
Superman may not be the ideal flagship for a new armada of DC adaptations.
This movie is going to make money
almost certainly. But more important is
how people are leaving the movie theater, says Cowen & Co. senior media
analyst Doug Creutz. If they walk out
feeling kind of eh, its a problem.
Thats because Batman v Superman
is meant to trigger a new world order for
Warner Bros. and DC Comics. The studio home to DC characters since 1969,
Warner Bros. was once the leader in
bringing superheroes to the big screen,
from the Christopher Reeves
Superman movies to Tim Burtons

Planned DC releases
SUICIDE SQUAD (Aug. 5): Antiheroes rule the
all-villain lineup in David Ayers film. Its stars
include Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as
the Joker and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn.
WONDER WOMAN (June 23, 2017): Gal Gadot
stars in the first movie to give Wonder Woman
the spotlight. Patty Jenkins (Monster) directs
the rare female-helmed superhero movie.
JUSTICE LEAGUE PART ONE (Nov. 17, 2017):
Zack Snyder returns to direct the DC Comics
answer to The Avengersin a team-up film that
will bring together Batman, Superman,Wonder
Woman and others.
THE FLASH (March 16, 2018): Ezra Miller (who
has a cameo in Batman v Superman) stars as
the speediest of superheroes in the stand-alone
film directed by Seth Grahame-Smith.

Batman movies to Christopher Nolans

Dark Knight trilogy.
Zack Snyders Batman v Superman
is the first of 10 films planned by
Warner Bros. and DC for the next five
years. And its the first film to bring DC
characters into a single extended universe, an approach modeled on
Marvels Avengers-centered success.
Batman v Superman may be a prizefight showdown, but its undercard players (including Wonder Woman,
Aquaman and the Flash) are being teased
for future installments.
Warner Bros. dominance has slid
recently (it ranked third among studios
in market share the last two years),
while Marvel Studios, paired with the
Walt Disney Co., has proven one of the
most lucrative and reliable juggernauts

AQUAMAN (July 27, 2018): Jason Momoa stars

as the trident-wielding underwater hero, with
James Wan (The Conjuring) directing.
SHAZAM (April 5, 2019): Dwayne The Rock
Johnson is on board not to star as the title
character, but as the villain Black Adam.
JUSTICE LEAUGE PART TWO (June 14, 2019):
More superheroes, united again.
CYBORG (April 3, 2020):The relatively unknown
actor Ray Fisher, who doesnt have a feature yet
under his belt, has been tapped to star as this
robotic Justice League hero, a member of the
Teen Titans.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS (June 19, 2020): After
the failure of 2011sGreen Lantern,starring Ryan
Reynolds, this new attempt will rope in several
Green Lanterns, an intergalactic police force.

in an otherwise unpredictable media

landscape. Batman v Superman hopes
to bring the other heavyweight in
comics back into the ring.
This is everything. This is the entire
DC universe being rebooted with the
two most iconic characters in their
canon, says Jeff Bock, senior boxoffice analyst for Exhibitor Relations.
This is the start of everything they
need to compete with Marvel and
Disney. And they are the one studio that
can definitely compete at that level.
This is their biggest gun.
Perhaps sensing their firepower wasnt all-powerful, Warner Bros. delayed
the film, originally slated for last July,
to March, a less chest-thumping but
also less competitive debut than the
middle of the summer.

TAX
Continued from page 1
being levied Thursday, April 1, is
expected to generate as much as $210
million over the next 30 years to fund a
variety of large capital improvement
projects.
Though the tax revenue is set to
finance $18 million worth of improvements to the citys streets, the crown
jewel of the new projects which may be
brought to fruition is development of a
new civic center.
The facility is proposed to house a new
police operations hub, library as well as
parks and recreation center at the corner
of El Camino Real and Chestnut Avenue.
The existing police and parks and
recreation departments are in the
Municipal Services Building, at 33
Arroyo Drive, which officials have
claimed is no longer seismically sound
and inadequate to meet the needs of residents.
City Manager Mike Futrell said the
upcoming council discussion of the proposed project is an extension of the dialogue that has gone into planning the
tax, designed to offer updated and
improved public amenities.
This is a continuation of a nearly
two-year-long process of collecting
community input on what is needed in
South San Francisco, he said. And now
we are putting forth a proposal that
would meet the needs as expressed by our
residents.
The project is slated to cost roughly

joked.
The center assists around 900 individuals, serves about 15,000 meals a
year and provides critical space for
them to socialize, Koo said. With the
help of dedicated volunteers, it also
delivers around 30 or 40 meals to seniors who are stuck at home each weekday, she added.
But as the city is updating its master
plan for the 16-acre park off Fifth
Avenue and is considering redeveloping the existing recreation center into
a larger state-of-the art facility, the
nonprofits nearly 24-year history at
the site may soon come to an end.
Theyre a longtime San Mateo
nonprofit that has been helping the
senior community by providing
meals, by providing social space, by
providing seasonal events that coincide with different cultures, that I
think is very meaningful to many
people in San Mateo and its a tradition that should be continued, said

$145 million, nearly $136 million of

which would be funded through revenue
generated by the tax measure. The rest of
the project would be financed through
smaller revenue streams collected by a
variety of fees, grants and donations.
As officials look ahead toward bringing the vision to fruition, architects and
builders will need to be identified to
manage and construct the facility, as
well as developing a project master
schedule.
Futrell said at the meeting of
Wednesday, March 30, councilmembers
are set to give city staff further direction
on how to proceed with the project.
Alongside the proposal to build the
project at the corner of Chestnut Avenue
and El Camino Real, councilmembers
had asked staff to consider the possibility of erecting a similar facility near El
Camino Real and Westborough
Boulevard, on a piece of property which
is currently home to the Pacific
Supermarket, OReilly Auto Parts and
Gunters restaurant and other businesses
Councilman Rick Bonilla.
Recognizing its challenging to find
developable land or even a new locale
to rent, the city and nonprofit agreed
to renegotiate the lease terms a year
early.
Instead of its last 2012 agreement
for a monthly base rent of $2,187 and
provisions to adjust it with inflation,
Self-Help will contribute just $1 a
year.
Mayor Joe Goethals said he couldnt
think of a better use for the aging
building, particularly as the city considers whether to create a new facility
in the future.
It really cant be used for much else,
its on its last legs and will have to be
torn down [eventually, ] Goethals
said. I dont think that the space
would be used nearly as effectively
without Self-Help for the Elderly and
the city receives a tremendous benefit
from all the seniors who receive their
services.
Noting the city would be relinquishing rent, Goethals and Bonilla
both expressed extreme confidence
in Self-Helps and Koos ability to
help raise enough funds or leverage
federal and state support to construct

located adjacent to the Municipal

Services Building.
Futrell though said the alternative site
is smaller and more expensive to purchase than the original project, which is
proposed on land owned by the successor to the citys former redevelopment
agency.
Officials have considered all the available land in South San Francisco which
could accommodate a project as substantial as the civic center development, and
found the site at the corner of Chestnut
Avenue and El Camino Real is the ideal
location, said Futrell.
He added, should the project be built at
the preferred proposed site, it could act
as a catalyst for rejuvenating the surrounding neighborhood.
Were going to plant this seed at this
corner, and the adjacent corner and nearby areas will improve as well, said
Futrell.
According to a city report, the project
could take between four and six years to
build.
Officials are expected to hold a town
hall meeting in June to gather more feedback from the community, and share
information regarding the value of constructing the new police station.
Though a considerable amount of
community outreach remains to be
sought for the project, said Futrell, officials are ready to begin making progress
toward establishing what aims to
become a community asset for future
generations.
There is a tremendous amount of
excitement for the opportunity to bring
residents of South San Francisco a top
quality facility they can enjoy, he said.
a new housing complex.
Shes been a tenacious advocate for
the nonprofit, but especially for seniors in San Mateo and her strong advocacy is why so many seniors in receive
such tremendous services, Goethals
said. And she encourages seniors to
continue to participate in the community and as citizens.
Koo said Self-Help has decades of
experience as a housing developer
with sites in San Francisco and
Oakland. Shes hopeful it can replicate
these existing models and construct a
site that would provide a range of carelevel housing from independent to
assisted thats affordable and allows
seniors to age in place. She noted location is key and part of the attraction of
Central Park was that it was close to
transit.
Its really very kind of the city to
make this possible for us. To give us a
chance to accumulate a building fund
for the future, Koo said, adding it may
be difficult to find an affordable, centrally located piece of land. But I
always keep the faith.

Syrian army enters

Islamic State-held
Palmyra and Mosul
By Albert Aji
and Sinan Salaheddin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAMASCUS, Syria Syrian

government forces pushed into
the ancient town of Palmyra,
where Islamic State militants
appeared on the verge of collapse
Thursday, while in Iraq, a military
spokesman announced the start of
a long-awaited operation to recapture the IS-held northern city of
Mosul.
The extremist group has been
losing ground in Syria and Iraq for
months under a stepped-up campaign of U. S. -led and Russian
airstrikes, as well as ground
assaults by multiple forces in each
country.
The retaking of Palmyra a
UNESCO world heritage site
whose fall to the militants last
May sent shock waves through
archaeological circles and beyond
would be a significant victory
for the Syrian government. But
the operation to unseat the group
in Mosul, Iraqs second-largest
city, is likely to take much longer

and be far more difficult.

The advance on Palmyra came
after government forces, backed
by Russian airstrikes, managed
to capture several hills and high
ground around the town this
week.
On Thursday, Syrian state TV
broadcast footage of its reporter,
embedded with the Syrian military, speaking live from the
entrance of Palmyra and saying
that as of midday, the fighting was
concentrated near the famed
archaeological site on the southwestern edge of the town. Cracks
of gunfire and explosions echoed
as the reporter spoke.
The fall of Palmyra to IS militants last year had raised concerns
worldwide, and the destruction the
extremists subsequently embarked
upon sparked alarm and made
international headlines. It was
also a big blow to the government
of Syrian President Bashar Assad,
whose forces pulled out with
apparently little resistance.
By nightfall, intense fighting
was still taking place on the outskirts. Turkey-based activist

REUTERS

Members of the Hashid Shaabi Shiite milita gather in the west of Samarra, in the desert of Anbar, as they prepare
to depart for Mosul to fight against Islamic State.
Osama al-Khatib, who is originally from Palmyra, denied that
Syrian troops had entered the
town, and said the video seen on
Syrian state TV was taken about
three miles (five kilometers) from
Palmyra.
Earlier in the day, Gov. Talal
Barazi told the Associated Press

from the nearby city of Homs that

the Syrian army was clearing roads
leading into the town of mines and
explosives.
We might witness in the next
48 hours an overwhelming victory in Palmyra, Barazi said, adding
that the army is advancing in a
precise and organized way to pro-

tect what is possible of monuments and archaeological sites.

The
Britain-based
Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights
said Syrian troops and Shiite militiamen helping them on the
ground were facing tough resistance from IS extremists as they try
to penetrate the towns limits.

Karadzic convicted of genocide, gets 40-year sentence

By Aida Cerkez
and Mike Corder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SARAJEVO,
BosniaHerzegovina A U.N. war crimes
court convicted former Bosnian
Serb leader Radovan Karadzic of
genocide and nine other charges
on Thursday for orchestrating a

campaign of terror that left

100,000 people dead during the
1992-95 war in Bosnia, the worst
carnage in Europe since World War
II.
Karadzic was sentenced to 40
years in prison for his role in Serb
atrocities that included the
Srebrenica massacre in which
8,000 Muslim men and boys were

Karadzic, the judge said, was the
only person in the Bosnian Serb
leadership with the power to halt
the genocide, but instead gave an
order for prisoners to be transported from one location to
another to be killed. In the carefully planned 1995 operation,
Serb forces moved Muslim men

and boys to sites around the

Srebrenica enclave in eastern
Bosnia and gunned them down
before dumping their bodies into
mass graves.
Upon hearing the sentence, the
70-year-old Karadzic slumped
slightly in his chair, but otherwise showed little emotion. He
plans to appeal the convictions.
