PG&E gets $3 million fine

California utility must run ads over deadly San Bruno blast conviction
By Sudhin Thanawala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A federal judge

on Thursday sentenced Californias
largest utility to pay a $3 million fine
and run television commercials publicizing its pipeline safety convictions
as punishment in a criminal case stemming from a deadly natural-gas explosion in San Bruno.
U. S. Di s t ri ct J udg e Th el t o n
Henderson also ordered Pacific Gas
& Electric Co. employees to perform 10, 000 hours of community
service and ordered an independent
monitor to oversee the safety of its
gas pipeline system.

I find the crimes at issue to be very
serious and to pose a great risk to
public safety, and thats why I am
going to impose the maximum possible fine and maximum possible probation terms allowable under the
law, Henderson said.

The sentence closes one of the final
chapters in the legal and regulatory
fallout from the 2010 blast in the city
of San Bruno that killed eight people
and destroyed 38 homes.
California regulators previously
fined PG&E $1.6 billion for the explosion, and the company has spent hundreds of millions of dollars settling
victims lawsuits.
The judge served justice today, San
Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane said after the
sentencing. Its satisfying in some
ways, but for us it will never be over.
PG&E said it was committed to trans-

Decadence reigns in the world of

Cabaret, the musical masterpiece
presented by Hillbarn Theatre.
The cabaret is Berlins Kit Kat Klub
in the late 1920s. Its a tawdry place
where anything goes.
Sexuality, both straight and gay, is

expressed by groping and couplings in
the chorus. Its also heard in suggestive lyrics by Fred Ebb and the leering
of the Emcee (Keith Pinto).
He wears black leather along with
black lipstick, black eye makeup,
even black nail polish. Women in the
chorus wear skimpy flesh-colored cos-

Around the state
SAN FRANCISCO The

University of California on
Thursday approved its first
tuition increase since 2011, a
move it says will fund more faculty and course offerings at a time
of record high enrollment and
less state support.
The 10-campus systems Board
of Regents voted 16-4 to raise
annual tuition by $282 or 2.5
percent and increase fees $54
for the 2017-18 school year.
It means the cost of tuition and
fees for California residents, who
who currently pay $12, 294 a
year, will increase to $12,630.
Tuition has been frozen since
2011.
The vote came after months of

increase modest and a necessity
for maintaining the quality of the

Proposal would establish

state as separate nation
LOS ANGELES Another attempt is

underway to establish California as a separate nation.
Election officials announced Thursday
that a proposal has been submitted to the
Secretary of States Office that would ask
voters to repeal part of the state constitution that declares California an inseparable
part of the United States.
If the proposal qualifies for the ballot and
is approved by voters, it could be a step to a
future vote on whether California should
break away from the U.S.
Secretary of State Alex Padilla said the
group behind the proposal, Yes California
Independence Campaign, was cleared to
begin attempting to collect nearly 600,000
voter signatures needed to place the plan on
the ballot.
Similar attempts to establish California
as a nation, or break it into multiple states,
have failed.
The election of President Donald Trump in
November rekindled talk of California

seceding from the union. The proposal
makes no mention of Trump, who was
trounced by Hillary Clinton in California
by more than 4 million votes.
The proposed constitutional amendment,
titled California Nationhood, would also
ask voters to repeal language that states the
U.S. Constitution is the supreme law. If
approved, it calls for scheduling a vote in
2019 to ask voters, Should California
become a free, sovereign and independent
country?
Threats to secede from the United States
have been a part of American politics
almost since the nation was founded. The
most serious attempt came before and during
the Civil War, when 11 Southern states left
to form the Confederacy.
Another hurdle would be the U. S.
Constitution, which does not provide for
state secession.
The campaign must submit the valid voter
signatures by July 25 to qualify for the
November 2018 ballot.

Jury date set for alleged dog killer

A man accused of killing his girlfriends
2-year-old dog named Sprocket by allegedly
lowering it into scalding
liquid received a May 22
jury trial date Thursday,
according to the San
Mateo County District
Attorneys Office.
Attorneys for both San
Bruno resident Paul
Souter, 25, and his girlfriend, Shelby Lujan, 23,
Paul Souter
asked to be relieved of
their cases because the defendants had run
out of money to pay them, so attorneys
from the private defender program were
assigned, according to prosecutors.
On May 1, Lujan brought Sprocket to an
emergency veterinary clinic, about 12 days
after she claimed it was injured when a cup of
boiling water accidentally spilled onto the
dogs crate, according to prosecutors.
The dog was suffering from third-degree
burns, which investigators believe was consistent with the dog being lowered or placed
in scalding liquid. The dog died a few hours
later despite an attempt to save him by the
clinic, according to prosecutors.
Souter is charged with two felonies for
inflicting harm on the animal and failing to
provide care after the April incident. Souter
was arrested in Bend, Oregon, and was extradited to San Mateo County.
Souters girlfriend Shelby Lujan has also
been charged with one felony count of animal cruelty for failing to provide care to her
2-year-old Maltese/poodle mix, or
Maltipoo, according to prosecutors.
Both Souter and Lujan posted bail and are
out of custody. They will next appear in
court April 12 for pre-trial conference,
according to prosecutors.
State extends commercial rock

crab season to Pillar Point Harbor
Californias commercial rock crab season
was extended Thursday to include the entire

coastal area from Pillar Point Harbor in
San Mateo County all the way to the
Mexican border, according to state
Department of Fish and Wildlife officials.
Previously, it was open from about the
Pillar Point lighthouse to the Mexican
border, a difference of roughly 25 miles,
according to Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Jordan Traverso.
The fishery north of Pillar Point remains
closed due to high levels of domoic acid
found in the crustaceans. Domoic acid is a
neurotoxin that can cause illness and, in
some cases, fatalities in humans.
The recreational rock crab fishery is
open for the entire state, with a warning
from state officials that people should
avoid eating the viscera of crabs caught
north of Pillar Point.
The states commercial Dungeness crab
season was partially stalled for a while
this year due to similar concerns but is
now open to Shelter Cove in Humboldt
County.
Driver allegedly under

influence of drugs during crash
A driver was arrested on suspicion of
driving under the influence in South San
Francisco on Wednesday morning after a
collision resulted in minor injuries.
The crash was reported around 8:15 a.m.
at the intersection of El Camino Real and
the entrance to the South San Francisco
BART station.
Both drivers were hospitalized and
police determined one was allegedly under
the influence of drugs.
Lizardo Gomez, a 46-year-old resident of
Daly City, was eventually medically

Official says Trump wants to

slash EPA workforce, budget

congressional Republican retreat.
Trump proposes import tax,

triggering fight with Mexico
By Julie Pace
and Mark Stevenson
WASHINGTON Determined to
wall off Americas border with
Mexico, President Donald Trump
triggered a diplomatic clash and a
fresh fight over trade Thursday as
the White House proposed a 20
percent tax on imports from the
key U. S. ally and Mexican
President Enrique Pena Nieto
abruptly scrapped next weeks trip
to Washington.
The swift fallout signaled a
remarkable souring of relations
between Washington and one of
its most important international

partners just days into the new
administration. The U. S. and
Mexico conduct some $1.6 billion
a day in cross-border trade, and
cooperate on everything from
migration to anti-drug enforcement to major environmental
issues.
At the heart of the dispute is
Trumps insistence that Mexico
will pay for construction of the
massive wall he has promised
along the southern U.S. border.
Trump on Wednesday formally
ordered construction of the wall.
The plan was a centerpiece of
Trumps election campaign,
though he never specified how

Mexico would fund the project or
how he would compel payments if
Pena Nietos government refused.
The two leaders had been scheduled to discuss the matter at the
White House next week. But Pena
Nieto took to Twitter Thursday to
say he had informed the White
House he would not be coming.
In a speech in Philadelphia later
Thursday, Trump cast the cancellation as a mutual decision. He said
that unless Mexico is going to
treat the United States fairly, with
respect, such a meeting would be
fruitless, and I want to go a different route. We have no choice.
WASHINGTON The former

head of President Donald Trumps
transition
team
at
the
Environmental Protection Agency
said Thursday he expects the new
administration to seek significant
budget and staff cuts.
Myron Ebell said in an interview
with The Associated Press that
Trump is likely to seek significant
reductions to the agencys workforce currently about 15,000
employees nationwide. Ebell, who
left the transition team last week,
declined to discuss specific numbers of EPA staff that could be targeted for pink slips.
Asked what he would personally
like to see, however, Ebell said
slashing the agencys size by

about half would be a good start.
Lets aim for half and see how it
works out, and then maybe well
want to go further, said Ebell,
who has returned to his position as
director of the Center for Energy
and
Environment
at
the
Competitive Enterprise Institute.
The conservative think tank in
Washington opposes globalwarming alarmism and receives a
portion of its funding from corporations and individuals that
profit from the continued burning
of fossil fuels. Ebell has long
been a vocal critic of federal environmental regulations, which he
claims are strangling the nations
economy and impeding job
growth.
Trumps border wall doesnt

address key shift in crossings
SAN DIEGO President Donald

Trumps plan to erect a wall along
the Mexican border overlooks a
key change in how people enter
the U.S. illegally: Many of them
make no attempt to jump a fence or
evade authorities; they simply
turn themselves in and ask for asylum.
Asylum requests have surged in
recent years, especially since
2014, when families and unaccompanied children fleeing drug violence in Central America overwhelmed agents in Texas.
Those who express fear of
returning home are often freed into

the U.S. with a notice to appear
before an immigration judge. It
often takes years for the clogged
courts to decide asylum cases.
Migration is very, very different now, Gil Kerlikowske, commissioner of U.S. Customs and
Border Protection from 2014 until
last week, said Thursday. People
are coming up to our ports of
entry, walking up and asking for
some type of protection.
CBP does not release numbers
on how many migrants turn themselves in versus how many are
caught trying to avoid capture, but
a pronounced shift is underway.

Sexist, vulgar posts on womens

marches rebound on officials R
By Brian Slodysko
INDIANAPOLIS A school board member

in Hillary Clintons hometown resigned after
making a derogatory reference on Twitter to
the female anatomy in describing women
marching against President Donald Trump.
An Illinois teacher was pulled from the classroom for a tweet deemed sexist. And a freshman Indiana lawmaker was inundated with
criticism over a Facebook post mocking fat
women.
These are a handful of examples from
across the U.S. of mostly male public officials who have been reprimanded, called out
or disciplined over social media postings
about the womens marches around the globe
last weekend.
The rash of incidents, which range from
boorish to downright vulgar, highlight how
nasty political discourse has become since
the divisive presidential election. But in an
era when Trump made lashing out against
political correctness central to his appeal,
the consequences these officials face for
unfiltered use of social media once again
demonstrate that what you say on the internet
still can hurt you.
Very few people in public life, even today,
get away with what Trump was able to get
away with, said Michael Cornfield, a George
Hawaii bill would classify

homelessness as medical condition
HONOLULU As an emergency room
doctor, Hawaii Sen. Josh Green sees homeless patients suffering from diabetes, mental health problems and an array of medical
issues that are more difficult to manage
when they are homeless or do not have permanent housing.
Thats why Green says he wants homelessness classified under Hawaii state law as
a medical condition.
If homelessness is a disease, he reasons,
then doctors should be able to write prescriptions for the cure: Housing.
It is paradigm shift for sure, but the single best thing we can do today is to allow
Washington University professor who studies politics in the internet age. I wonder
what these gentlemen were thinking.
Its not the first time rantings on social
media have sparked backlash. Public officials for years have found themselves in trouble, and even resigned from office, over comments that were impolitic, distasteful and
sometimes even racist. Its also not strictly a
partisan issue. A writer for Saturday Night
Live was suspended this week after writing
an offensive tweet about Trumps 10-year-old
son Barron. The writer, Katie Rich, deleted
the tweet, briefly deactivated her account and
then apologized after a social media outcry
led to calls for a boycott of the show.
Still, the number of incidents following
the womens marches, which packed public
squares in blue states and some red as well,
has put a few elected officials and supervisors
in an awkward spot. And its not clear where
to draw the line.
In Indiana, Republican House Speaker
Brian Bosma says hes conducting social
media tutorials after posts from at least two
state lawmakers.
A weekend Facebook post by Indiana state
Rep. Jim Lucas, a Republican, showed a
photo of a woman sprayed in the face with
pepper spray with a caption that read: PARTICIPATION TROPHIES. NOW IN LIQUID
FORM.
Around the nation

physicians and health care providers in general to write prescriptions for housing,
Green said.
Green last week introduced a bill in the
Hawaii Legislature to classify chronic
homelessness as a medical condition and
require insurance companies to cover treatment of the condition.
But if a doctor wrote a prescription for six
months of housing, where would the patient
fill the prescription?
Thats where Green wants Medicaid to step
in.
He wants to redirect some of Hawaiis $2
billion annual Medicaid budget to pay for
housing.

Reviving the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines

Other voices
The Wall Street Journal
resident Trump is making short

work of campaign promises, and on
Tuesday he signed executive orders
reviving the Keystone XL and Dakota
Access pipelines. The resurrection is good
news for the economy, but one question is
whether hell sink the projects with his
protectionist impulses.
Mr. Trump signed an executive order
inviting TransCanada to apply again for a
permit for the Keystone XL pipeline,
which the Obama administration rejected to
indulge the anti-carbon obsessions of
Democratic campaign donors. Another
Trump directive aims to expedite the
Dakota Access pipeline, which is 90 percent nished but was halted by President
Obama amid protests. A federal judge ruled
that the government had met its legal obligations, but the Obama Administration suspended work anyway.
Such carve outs for progressive constituencies are one reason voters rejected
Democrats in November, and the pipelines
promise broader prosperity. Keystone is
predicted to spin off 20,000 construction
and manufacturing jobs, many of them to
be lled by union workers, and add $3 billion to GDP. The pipeline could move
830,000 barrels a day along the route from
Alberta to Nebraska; up to 100,000 would
come from North Dakota, where a glut of
crude has to travel by rail to reach reneries
built to process it. The efciencies will rip-
ple across the oil and gas industry.

The Keystone order directs the State
Department to make a recommendation
within 60 days for a prompt approval,
though environmental groups will le lawsuits in every eligible jurisdiction. The
objections are specious: President Obamas
State Department concluded on several
occasions that Keystone would have no
meaningful effect on climate or emissions.
Moving oil by pipeline emits less carbon
and is safer than trains.
As for Dakota Access, you may have
noticed the months-long media rally
around Standing Rock Sioux protests. The
tribe claims the pipeline will harm its land
and water, but this is fake news: Dakota
Access does not run beneath the reservation. The route, which was altered 140
times in North Dakota to protect cultural
resources, cuts along private land where
other pipelines run. The tribe lost in federal court but has vowed to ght President
Trumps order.
One danger here is President Trumps
campaign promise to renegotiate some of
the terms that included bromides about
how well build our own pipes, like we
used to in the old days. He oated royalty
payments during the campaign, and a separate order on Tuesday directed the
Commerce Department to develop a plan to
use U.S. steel and iron in all new pipelines.
TransCanada has said in past months that

its fully committed to Keystone XL, but
the company may not be eager for another
politician to direct its investment decisions.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer
said Mr. Trump is looking to ensure taxpayers the best possible deal. Reminder:
Taxpayers pay nothing. The State
Department estimated that when Keystone
is nished and pumping oil, local governments will collect more than $55 million a
year in property taxes. About 70 percent of
the resulting rened products from
Keystone would stay in the United States,
which will push down gas prices as another
benet, according to a study from IHS. That
already sounds like a good deal.
Meanwhile on the livefeed for The
Resistance, Senate Democrats are proposing a trillion dollars in direct federal spending on public works and no doubt hoping to persuade President Trump to go
along and divide the GOP. But Republicans
in Congress should not agree to a dollar of
new such spending without more streamlining in permitting.
Private investment projects like
Keystone and Dakota Access are the superior route to creating jobs and boosting
incomes, which President Trump has long
said is his rst priority. Mr. Trumps best
move would be to ditch his oated
Keystone conditions and enjoy taking
credit for the resulting economic growth.
He could even attend the next groundbreaking ceremony.

Illegal immigration ends now
Voter fraud investigation
Editor,
President Trump was elected with a mandate to end illegal immigration in America.
He promised to Build the Wall to keep out
illegal immigrants.
If this troubles you because you believe
non-citizens somehow have a right to
intentionally break U.S. immigration laws
and get public benets/taxpayer money,
then you condone illegal behavior and
dont believe in borders.
U.S. employers will soon stop hiring
those here illegally due to mandatory EVerify, and Californias Sanctuary
Cities/Counties will soon lose hundreds of
millions in federal money for shielding
illegals. But, families wont be broken
apart because Mexicans must now comply
with U.S. immigration laws under President
Trump, so Mexicans will keep their families together in Mexico from now on.
People here illegally should return to
their country of actual citizenship, which
is what U.S. law requires. Obama caused
this mess by ignoring mandatory U.S.
immigration laws, but the federal government wont ignore these mandatory laws
any more.
Editor,
Donald Trump now wants to investigate
the voter fraud he claims made him lose the
popular vote, while previous studies have
shown an insignicant number of fraudulent votes cast. With heavy nes and the
risk of being deported, who would be dumb
enough to cast an illegal vote? If someone
is that dumb, its more likely thatthe illegal voterwould favor Trump.
A muchmore importantissue is voter
suppression, which makes it harder for voters to exercise their constitutional rights.
Here, a thorough, in-depth, independent
and non-partisan investigation is called
for, with results publicized.How many
were prevented from voting, and who would
they have voted for if they had been able to
cast their vote? Do such unsuccessful voters have a claim against their state for
being denied their constitutional rights to
cast a vote unobstructed? I am condent
that the results of such an investigation
will please the majority of voters.

Finally, after all the years of screaming

voter fraud, the Republicans will have
the federal investigation to prove their
claim.
Based on Donald Trumps claim that 3
million to 5 million people voted fraudulently, each state has, on average,
between 60,000 and 100,000 fraudulent
voters. This claim of fraud should be easy
to prove. Its curious how all the poll
workers and the certifiers of the results
did not see this amazing amount of fraudulent voters and votes. It really brings
into question, how canvoter fraud be this
widespread? Trump is just trying to eliminate voting, period.

Alternative facts
By Gene Mullin
fter resting securely and alone in a

corner of the pantheon of government misspeak, the 1970s Nixonera phrase of situational ethics has been
joined by the Trumpian-era phrase of alternative facts.
Its difcult to speak
of a presidency only
several days old as an
era, but its less difcult
to point out the new
leaders in fake news
being Sean Spicer and
Kellyanne Conway and
their defense of Trumps
claims about the size of his, ah, inaugural
crowd. At least he didnt co-opt the phrase
billions and billions as used by Carl
Sagan in the Cosmos series in the 1980s.
As a reminder to those not of a certain
age, situational ethics trades established
standards for right and wrong behavior for
an alternative device that suggested right
and wrong behavior was malleable depending upon the particular circumstances.
Without delving into the biblical origins
of the theory, the shorthand general example might be that the end justies the
means.
Needless to say, a main driver in the
Nixon administration, particularly when
facing difculties of the Watergate scandal,
was that situations need ethical standards
constantly in ux and of modest depth.
This is not to suggest that Nixon was the
only one prone to falsities; indeed that is
often a complaint about politics and government in general. Politics aside, no doubt
that a form of doublespeak is too often a
standard practice throughout society.
In his State of the State speech on
Tuesday, California Gov. Jerry Brown
mounted a strong defense of the state and
mused about alternate facts. He said: While
no one knows what the new leaders will do,
there are signs that are disturbing. We have
seen the bald assertion of alternative facts
whatever those are.
Well, perhaps he could look to Stephen
Colberts concoction of truthiness developed during the Bush administration. One
denition from Wikipedia is whatever
feels right without regard to evidence,
logic, intellectual examination or facts,
seems to capture the new standard of wedging into the public discourse bizarre ideas
with only minimum connection to reality.
The ratings of pants on re and
Pinocchios nose were attached often to
campaign statements by our now president.
Being only loosely connected with the
truth already seems to be a trait of the new
presidents strategy. There is little need to
recount his constant tweets during the campaign and leading up to his inauguration of
semi-truths, distortions and outright deceptions. A just published cartoon in the New
Yorker shows Trumps amazement when he
took his oath at what a Bible actually
looked like.
What takes me aback is the ofcial
spokesman for the White House, Sean
Spicer, defending statements known and
provable to be false. This is not mere
obfuscation but as veriably false as the
blue dress was to Bill Clintons denial of a
liaison with Monica Lewinsky.
This puts another dent in the trust and
reliance in the veracity of all levels of government. With a couple of bills introduced
in the California Assembly this term,
designed to upgrade the ability of public
school students to discern fake news from
the real thing, that task just became
immeasurably more difcult.

Indexes drift down; Dow ekes out gain

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS
The Dow Jones industrial average inched further into record territory Thursday, eking out a gain
while the broader U. S. market
indexes drifted lower.
The Dows gain came a day after
closing above 20,000 for the first

index and Nasdaq composite posted small losses, snapping two
days of consecutive record highs.
More stocks fell than rose on

How did the Dow get to 20,000?

Think Goldman, Boeing and IBM
By Marley Jay
NEW YORK Dow 20,000 wasnt exactly a team effort.

The index climbed to the 20,000
mark from 19,000 largely because
of three stocks: financial firm
Goldman Sachs, aerospace giant
Boeing, and technology and consulting company IBM. Put together, those three companies are
responsible for almost half the
gain that brought the blue chip
index to its latest millennial mark
on Wednesday. It took the Dow
just two months to go from
19, 000 to 20, 000, one of its
quickest moves between round
number milestones.
The big jumps for Goldman,
20,125.58
20,067.53
20,100.91
+32.40
Boeing and IBM reflect the fact

that investors expect financial
firms and industrial companies to
do very well. Theyre so optimistic that theyre buying some
very expensive stocks, as they are
betting that the companies will
reap large gains if economic
growth picks up and the Trump
administration cuts regulations
that might keep their profits in
check.
The Dow had looked like it was
going to blow past the 20,000
mark in the middle of December. It
stopped tantalizingly close to that
mark, in large part because a big
rally in Goldman stock ended.
Goldman led the index rapidly
higher after the election and came
close to an all-time high, but its
trading a little lower today than it

was a few weeks ago.
Its worth noting that Goldman
is the most expensive Dow stock
by a wide margin and IBM is the
next-most costly. That matters
because the Dow is weighted by
stock price. When Goldman Sachs
moves from $200 to $201, or one
half of one percent, that counts
exactly as much as Cisco rising
from $30 to $31, which would
boost that companys stock price
by more than 3 percent.
Other indexes like the Standard
& Poors 500 and the Nasdaq dont
work that way. Theyre weighted
by the market value of a company,
and many investors feel that
makes those indexes a better
reflection of the broader market.

Oilers snap Sharks winning streak at 6

SAN JOSE Andrej Sekera scored two

goals and the surging Edmonton Oilers
extended their point streak to eight games by
beating the San Jose Sharks 4-1 on Thursday
night.
Edmonton ended San Joses six-game winning streak and tied the Sharks for the Pacific

scored for the Oilers, who improved to 7-0-1
over their last eight games. The only loss during that span came to Nashville in a shootout.
Logan Couture scored for the Sharks, and
Martin Jones made 18 saves.
Couture gave the Sharks a lead four minutes
in. Couture originally won the puck and
passed up to Patrick Marleau, who carried it
across the blue line before passing to Mikkel

Boedker, who returned the puck for Couture to
sneak it past Talbot on the glove side.
Sekera tied the score in the waning seconds
of the first period, firing a shot that deflected
off Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic.
Sekera added a power-play goal late in the
second on a shot that rattled off a defender and
the post into the net.
Caggiula scored off his own effort, taking
the puck away from the Sharks and beating
Jones. McDavid added an empty-net goal.

Some of CCSs best wrestling talent was on display at Mills during Week 3 of the Ocean Division season, including, from top left and going

Mills host six-team, Ocean Division wrestling meet for Week 3
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Six teams. Five matches. Two mats. One site.

Welcome to Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division wrestling.
Mills hosted the other five Ocean Division
squads Aragon, Menlo-Atherton, San Mateo,

South City and Woodside in the third week of
league wrestling action. Not only did it go a
long way in determining a division champion,
it also featured a number of top Central Coast
Section wrestlers, representing five different
schools.
I was against it last year when I was first

introduced to it, said South City coach Steve
Matteucci. But after seeing it run, the positives
definitely outweigh the negatives.
The atmosphere is way better. Bodies are in
the seats, which will bring more families.

ATLANTA One conversation stands out

in Arthur Blanks sports year to remember.
Blank, the Atlanta Falcons owner, said
Thursday he sent a congratulatory text message to coach Dan Quinn in May, when
Atlanta was awarded the 2019 Super Bowl.
Blank said he told Quinn I look forward
to us playing then.
Quinns
response
proved prophetic.
He texted me back and
said I plan on playing in
it sooner, Blank said at
a news conference. I
dont know if I still have
that text, but Im going to
dig and try to nd it
Arthur Blank because he was obviously
more of a foreteller than I
was on where our team would be sooner than
2019.
In only his second year as coach, Quinn
has taken the Falcons to the Feb. 5 Super
Bowl in Houston, where they will play New
England.
For Blank, who acquired the Falcons in
2002, the end of a 15-year wait to see his
team play in the Super Bowl is the biggest
highlight of what he says has been a wonderful year.
He has seen the new Mercedes Benz
Stadium, being built beside the Georgia
Dome, move closer to completion as the
home of the Falcons and his Atlanta United
FC MLS expansion team. Blank attended the
soccer teams rst practice in Bradenton,
Florida, on Tuesday.
And now hes making plans for his longawaited Super Bowl. Blank, 74, celebrated
Atlantas NFC championship game win over
Green Bay on Sunday by dancing with his
players on the eld.
He wont be traveling to the Super Bowl

Westbrook leads All-Star reserve picks, Wade out

In addition to Curry and Durant as starters, Warriors land Green and Thompson on reserve list
By Tim Reynolds
Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are

teammates again. Gordon Hayward, DeAndre
Jordan and Kemba Walker are about to get
their first opportunity on the All-Star stage.
Meanwhile, Dwyane Wades run of 12
straight selections in the NBAs midseason
showcase is on the cusp of ending.
Westbrook the NBAs scoring leader
and triple-double machine was among 14
reserves selected by the leagues coaches for
the All-Star Game that will be played in New
Orleans on Feb. 19. The Oklahoma City
guard and two-time reigning All-Star MVP
entered Thursday averaging 30.7 points,
10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game, so
his selection was likely an easy one.
Theres no question in my mind that he
should be starting, Thunder coach Billy
Donovan said Thursday night. However, I
understand that theres certain things that
have to do with who does start. Im not taking anything away from anybody who is
starting, but ... Russell, in my opinion,
should be starting.
Being picked reunites Westbrook in the
Western Conference locker room with
Durant, his former Thunder teammate who is
now part of a record-tying feat for Golden
State. The Warriors tied

the league mark with four
selections, with reserves
Draymond Green and
Klay Thompson joining
two
teammates
announced as starters last
week Durant and
Stephen Curry.
Other West reserves
Draymond
include
Sacramentos
Green
DeMarcus
Cousins,
Memphis Marc Gasol
and first-time selections
Hayward of Utah and
Jordan of the Los Angeles
Clippers.
Bout time!!! Congrats
big fella!! Clippers
guard Chris Paul tweeted
to Jordan, who entered
Klay Thompson Thursday as the NBAs
rebounding leader.
The Eastern Conference reserves are
Indianas Paul George, Clevelands Kevin
Love, Torontos Kyle Lowry, Atlantas Paul
Millsap,
Bostons Isaiah Thomas,
Washingtons John Wall and Charlottes
Walker, who is going for the first time.
Walker watched the selection show from
his hotel room in New York, telling team-
mates to not spoil the surprise if they

learned his fate ahead of time. When his
name was revealed, they came storming into
his room in what Walker called a pretty special moment.
Hes one of five point guards on the East
roster.
I thought that would be an issue, Walker
said. But we are all just playing great basketball right now and the coaches, they have
seen that.
George said the selection means everything to him.
Hopefully, Im doing things the right
way, George said. Hopefully Im playing
this game the right way.
Wade would have been a starter under the
old formula that takes only fan voting into
account when choosing the opening five for
each roster, but the Chicago guard not qualify in the revised system employed by the
NBA now that also takes into account votes
from players and a panel of basketball
media.
Some, including West All-Star coach Steve
Kerr of Golden State, said players made a
mockery of the process by wasting votes.
I feel like guys who should be in the starting spot should get that pick, Wall said on
TNT, which released the selections. But I
think it didnt go the way everybody
thought it would. Some players didnt pick

for the right people.
Golden States Zaza Pachulia and
Philadelphias Joel Embiid also would have
started in the former system, yet like Wade
were shut out of the selections.
Once again the popular vote didnt matter, Embiid wrote on Twitter.
The East starters announced last week are
Milwaukees Giannis Antetokounmpo,
Chicagos Jimmy Butler, Torontos DeMar
DeRozan and Clevelands LeBron James and
Kyrie Irving. West starters are Curry, Durant,
Houstons James Harden, San Antonios
Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis of host
New Orleans.
NOTES: The Warriors are the eighth team
with four All-Star selections. Atlanta (2015)
was the most recent. ... Hayward is Utahs
first All-Star selection since Deron Williams
in 2011. Walker is Charlottes first All-Star
since Gerald Wallace in 2010. ... Cleveland
has three All-Stars for the first time since
1993. ... Thomas, listed at 5-foot-9, is the
fourth player under 6-feet with multiple AllStar selections in his career. ... All-Stars
who played in last years game and were not
selected this year are Kobe Bryant (retired),
Paul (injured), LaMarcus Aldridge, Carmelo
Anthony, Pau Gasol, Andre Drummond and
Wade.
LaVine will not defend

his All-Star dunk title
By Jon Krawczynski
MINNEAPOLIS The NBA dunk king is giving up his

crown.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Zach LaVine said he will
not compete in this years slam dunk contest at All-Star
weekend in New Orleans, meaning he will not try for an
unprecedented third straight title in one of the leagues signature events.
I feel like Ive accomplished everything I could in the
dunk contest, LaVine said Thursday as the Wolves prepared
to face the Indiana Pacers. It would be hard for me to go
back and outdo myself.
The 21-year-old LaVine breathed new life into a stale
event two years ago, when he came in as a rookie and blew
away the eld in New York with a breathtaking array of soaring dunks. He followed that up in Toronto last year with an
epic duel against Orlandos Aaron

Gordon that went into overtime.
LaVine won the contest when he went
between his legs from a step inside the
free throw line, a dunk he had never
attempted before in practice or a contest.
LaVine said winning the showdown with
Gordon took every dunk he had, and it
was time to turn his concentration to
Zach LaVine other pursuits.
Im never saying I wont ever do it
again, but Im focused on this year, he said. Were getting
close to being able to make the playoffs and we have that in
our mind. Getting the rest and just focusing more on just the
game is the main thing.
The Wolves (17-28) have won three in a row and six of
their last eight heading into the game against the Pacers.

NHL teams adjusting to new wrinkle of bye weeks

By Stephen Whyno
Mike Smith felt weird.

The All-Star goaltender for Phoenix knew
other teams were playing while he and the
rest of the Coyotes were enjoying a week
off. He filled his time by sledding with his
kids and not doing too much of anything.
Its been great, Smith said. Ive got to
spend some quality time with my family, my
kids. Nothing crazy, pretty chilled and pretty relaxed.
A five-day bye week for each team is a new
wrinkle added to the NHL this season so
players can get a breather during the second
half of a grueling, 82-game grind. The players union negotiated for it last year in
exchange for agreeing to the 3-on-3 tournament that replaced the traditional All-Star
Game.
The NFL-style bye week will return next
season or in 2018-19 depending on
whether NHL players go to the
Pyeongchang Olympics because that 3on-3 All-Star format is in place Sunday in
Los Angeles.
Players are widely in favor of the extra
time off, even though it compresses the
schedule for the rest of the year, but it isnt
as popular among coaches and general managers. Washington Capitals coach Barry
Trotz is concerned about injuries when a
team coming off a bye plays an opponent
Old-school hockey people are characteristically resistant

to change, but current players love it. Players feedback
from the 2014 Sochi Olympics was that the time
off re-energized them for later in the season.
that has been in action. Philadelphia Flyers
general manager Ron Hextall isnt a big fan
of the concept in general.
I think its ridiculous, Hextall said
recently. The most asinine thing Ive ever
seen.
Old-school hockey people are characteristically resistant to change, but current players love it. Players feedback from the 2014
Sochi Olympics was that the time off reenergized them for later in the season.
As All-Stars gather in L.A. this weekend, a
lot of players will go on vacation and but
they also believe the best in the NHL
deserve a break, too.
A lot of times it is taxing on the stars,
Capitals forward Daniel Winnik said. When
I was younger I was like, Man, those guys
get to go to the All-Star Game, thats awesome, but then the more youre in the
league youre like, It sucks for those guys,
they dont get the break that we have. I
think its good. I think down the stretches
guys get tired, and I think this is the time
when guys need rest.
The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York
Islanders were the first to go on their byes

Jan. 1, and the Anaheim Ducks will be the
last to come off theirs March 2. Trotz and
the Capitals have been charting results coming out of the bye week in preparation for
their break in mid-February.
When the bye week idea came about, Trotz
sent a proposal to the NHL to have groups of
teams take bye weeks together so theyre in
the same shape and timing and injuries dont
pile up. Even better, the intent in the future
is to have half the league off the five days
before All-Star Weekend and the other half
the five days after to make it more even
across the board.
No matter the timing, bye weeks make for
a difficult adjustment back to game shape.
These guys are used to playing the game
every day and touching the puck every day,
and when you take them away from that,
their timing, I think their game timing
tends to establish a little bit of rust,
Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. I think
thats what happens in professional sports
when these athletes are used to honing their
craft day in and day out.
Winger Carl Hagelin felt some of that rust

in Pittsburghs first game back Jan. 8 with
his stick handling and execution. But he
also felt some extra energy in his legs.
Teammate Ian Cole said the Penguins did a
good job of working out during their time
off and not falling out of midseason form.
Thats one challenge, but so is the compressed schedule that has come about
because of the World Cup of Hockey and the
bye weeks. According to the On The
Forecheck blog, teams will play a total of
444 sets of back-to-backs this season, up
from 412 in 2015-16, and the schedule isnt
ever light except for the bye week.
Its five full days off and you get to recover and heal some bumps and bruises, Ottawa
Senators center Chris Kelly said. But that
being said, we played 17 in 30 days to start
a season. Thats very unusual in the NHL,
especially when youre competing against
baseball and the NFL. Most times when
youre playing 17, 18 a month, its March.
Thats maybe the bit of the downside to it.
Even with that caveat, players will gladly
take the extra rest that comes with the bye
week.
Our schedules, you dont really get to
take vacations ever, so its good for the families spend some time with wife, girlfriend, kids, whatever you have, Capitals
goaltender Braden Holtby said. Its good
for family life, and playing is better when
familys good.
Tiger Woods stumbles home to a 76 in return to tour

SAN DIEGO The return of Tiger Woods felt more like a celebration Thursday at Torrey Pines.
Hundreds of fans lined up against the railing behind the 18th
grandstand to watch Woods walk onto the first tee for his first
PGA Tour event in 17 months. Thousands more stood behind
every inch of rope from tee-to-green, and they were six-deep in
spots around the green. As he made the turn, workers filled three
balconies at the Scripps Clinic. No other player brings this much
energy to a golf course.
Now he just has to bring his game.
Woods battled to save par, and then he fell apart during a sixhole stretch on the back nine and stumbled to a 4-over 76 in the
Farmers Insurance Open. It wasnt his worst score on the fabled
South Course at Torrey Pines, though it was his highest score of
his career in the first round of a new year.
I let it slip away in the middle part of the back nine, Woods
said. And unfortunately, didnt hit very good shots.
Woods wound up 11 shots behind Justin Rose , who opened
with a 65 on the shorter North Course with the new and smooth
greens. Adam Hadwin of Canada, who shot 59 last week in the
California desert, had the low score on the South at 66.
It was a rude welcome back to the PGA Tour, and to Torrey
Pines, where Woods has won eight times as

a pro.
He had not played on the PGA Tour since
Aug. 23, 2015, when he tied for 10th in the
Wyndham Championship. Two back surgeries followed, and Woods missed all of 2016
until returning at an unofficial event with an
18-man field and no cut in the Bahamas the
first week in December.
This was different in so many ways.
Tiger Woods
Along with fighting his swing he didnt hit a fairway after No. 7 and coping with thick rough he had
not seen since the 2015 PGA Championship, Woods said he had
a hard time adjusting to the pace of play from being in threesomes.
Its just weird to say this, but it was just we were playing so
much slower than Im used to, he said. It was just weird waiting
that much.
His game was greater concern than having to wait.
This was a battle from the start, when his opening tee shot
went into the right rough and he hit a big cut closer to the gallery
than the green. Woods did well to keep his score from getting out
of hand early, with four tough par saves on the front nine to limit
the damage.
He started the back nine with 10-foot birdie putts on the 10th
and 11th holes, and with two par 5s ahead of him, starting to
believe this could be a strong start.
And it went the other way, Woods said. I hit bad tee shots
and made a bad three-putt and laid up from the rough into rough. I
just kept compounding problems and mistakes out there.
Starting with No. 12, he played the next six holes in 6 over,
with a double bogey on the 15th hole the biggest blow.
Woods snap-hooked his tee shot over the crowd and into a deep
ravine, letting the driver fall from his hands in disgust. He couldnt immediately find his ball amid sand dunes and ice plants,
instead finding a spot to take his penalty drop. He hooked a long
iron through eucalyptus trees into more rough and couldnt get it
closer than 20 feet.
At least he ended with a birdie and a smile, which looked to be
more of a relief not only for Woods, but for Jason Day and
Dustin Johnson.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
WRESTLING
Continued from page 11
The team match of the night was between
division-leading Aragon and host Mills, where
the Dons eeked out a 40-38 victory, winning
the final match of the meet. The Dons won the
first two matches by pin before Mills Sione
Langi, ranked No. 2 in CCS at 222-pound class,
won his match at heavyweight by pin and final
round to give Mills its first points of the match.
Langi moved up weight class for the league
season after the team lost its regular heavyweight. Langi could be outweighed by as many
as 60 pounds wrestling with the big boys, but
he looks at it as an opportunity to get stronger
for when he does wrestle in his normal weight
class.
It is different, Langi, a senior, said. But it
helps me be more prepared. I have to go hard,
knowing theyre heavier than me.
Langi has been dealing with an upper-body
injury he suffered during the winter break and is
still working his way back from that.
He was going up against a first-year wrestler
Mike Mueller from Aragon, but he was hardly
intimidated by Langis resume as he battled
through nearly three rounds before finally getting stuck.
Aragon, however, has a pair of ranked
wrestlers in its lineup and those two Hans
Canton and Isaiah Martin gave the Dons 12
points with a pair of pins at 115 and 184,
respectively.
Canton had an easy time in pinning his
opponent in the first round, while Martin
cruised to a 13-3 victory.
Canton, ranked No. 8 in CCS at 115, was in
the unenviable and awkward position of
facing a female opponent in Mills Nicole
Leung.
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
A 13-3 win in the final match of the meet by Aragons Isaiah Martin, right, at 184 pounds gave
the Dons a dramatic 40-38 win over Mills to stay a perfect 4-0 in PAL Ocean Division meets.
But Canton believes if someone is willing to
get on the mat with him, he treats them with the
same amount of respect he does every wrestler.
Im told to wrestle as hard as you can. Dont
give up, Canton said. I just wrestle my match.
Thats all I care about.
Martins win at 184, where he is ranked No.
13 in CCS, turned out to be the winning points
in the final match of the meet to keep Aragon in
the drivers seat for the Ocean Division title.
With his team trailing 38-37, Martin dominated, picking up a quick five points with a 2-point
takedown and 3-point nearfall. He kept working for it, but never quite squeeze out the pin,
instead settling for the three points that gave

Aragon a 40-38 victory.
The win keeps the Dons undefeated and atop
the Ocean Division standings, with wins over
their two closest pursuers Mills and South
City.
I had a feeling it would be close, said
Aragon coach Carlo Altamarano. Luckily our
guy persevered.
Mills would go on to defeat San Mateo, 4830, in the final meet of the night to improve its
record to 2-1 in division matches.
South City improved to 3-1 on the season
with a 32-12 win over Woodside. The match fea-
tured two ranked wrestlers in the heavier

weights Woodsides Fabian Gutierrez, ranked
No. 7 at 184, and South Citys Luke Cruz, who
is No. 2 in the heavyweight division, according
to CCSrank.com.
Both were impressive in wins. Gutierrez, who
moved up a class and wrestled at 195 Thursday
night, had no problem with a heavier opponent, recording a technical fall. Cruz also had
little trouble, winning his match by pin.
Id rather give him (Cruz) a match rather than
an off day, Matteucci said. We want him working on things.
M-A picked up its first team win of the season, barely getting past San Mateo, 33-30. The
Bears have a ranked wrestler at 184, but Nick
Ozden, ranked No. 8, did not get a chance to get
any work in, winning his match by forfeit.
The individual match of the night came at 138
of the Mills-Aragon match where the Vikings
Maata Faakaosita stunned everyone with her
first-round pin. The whistle blew, she quickly
got a takedown and flipped her opponent on his
back and got the pin just like that.
Everyone but her Mills teammates and coach
James McConchie were surprised. McConchie
said Faakaosita is a transfer from the state at
Washington where she placed top-5 at the
Washington state meet.
And Faakaosita pin was the second win of the
night for the Mills girls against the Aragon
boys. Mills Mandy Chung pulled out an 8-5
win at 106.
We wouldnt have been in the match if they
(our girls) didnt step up, McConchie said.
Even though there is now a girls division at
CCS, wrestling in one of few sports that is gender blind and many coaches, including
McConchie dont see any reason not to put the
girls against the boys.
[Wrestling is] all about motion, all about
leverage, all about angles, McConchie said.
Just go out and try.

As send lefty Overton to
Mariners for minor league catcher
SEATTLE The Mariners acquired left-hander Dillon
Overton on Thursday from the Athletics and sent minor
league catcher Jason Goldstein to Oakland.
Overton adds depth for the Mariners. He was 13-5 with a
3.29 ERA over 125 2-3 innings with 105 strikeouts and 31
walks in 21 appearances with 20 starts for Triple-A
Nashville last season while also spending four short stints
with the As for his major league debut.
He went 1-3 with an 11.47 ERA in seven games and five
starts with Oakland.
Goldstein, a ninth-round draft choice by Seattle last year
out of Illinois, hit .400 (4 for 10) in five games at rookie
ball then moved on to Class-A Everett. There, he batted
.255 in 14 games.

Federer, returning from
six months out to rest his
injured left knee, will next
play Sunday against
either 14-time major
Roger Federer champion Rafael Nadal
and Grigor Dimitrov.
With the Williams locked in for Saturday
night, expectations are rising for another vintage Roger-Rafa bout.
Its going to be special either way one
is going to go for his first slam or its the epic
battle with Rafa, Federer said. All I care
about is that I can win. Doesnt matter whos
across the net, but I understand the magnitude
of the match against Nadal.
Ill leave it all out here in Australia and if I
cant walk for another five months, thats
OK.
The all-Williams final will be the first in
Melbourne since 2003, when Serena won

what Venus has described as a battle royale.
Venus hasnt returned to the Australian final
since then. And when she walked out onto Rod
Laver Arena, it will be as the oldest player in
the Open era to contest an Australian Open
womens final. Shell be the oldest finalist at
any major since Martina Navratilovas run to
the Wimbledon final in 1994.
Venus has lost six of her eight Grand Slam
finals against her younger sister, and is 11-16
overall in their tour-level career matches. But
Serena noted that nobody has beaten her more
than her older sister their sibling rivalry is
friendly, but goes a long way back.
When Im playing on the court with her, I
think Im playing, like, the best competitor
in the game, Venus said. I dont think Im
chump change, either. I can compete against
any odds. No matter what.
You also have to hopefully put your opponent in a box, she added. This opponent is
your sister, and shes super awesome.
After winning four straight majors up to
Wimbledon 2015 to get within one of Grafs

record, Serena lost in the semifinals at the
U.S. Open and then finals in Melbourne last
year and at Roland Garros before equaling the
mark back on the grass courts of southwest
London.
response is going to be to that opportunity.

Blank earned his fortune as the co-founder
of Home Depot. That business background
made him a billionaire, but included few
highlights to compare with having his team
earn a spot in the Super Bowl.
He said the day Home Depots stock went
public was a high point but even that didnt have this kind of emotion connected to
it.
Blank said he reached out to Patriots
owner Robert Kraft for counsel on enjoying the experience. He said has had a special relationship with Kraft since becoming an owner. Blank said hes hoping the
Falcons can follow the Patriots model of
sustained success.
The Patriots have an incredible track

record, incredible owner, incredible coach,
incredible quarterback, incredible players
who have gone through a lot of transitions
over the years and to their leaderships credit theyve continued to be competitive and
theyve continued to put a winning football
team on the eld, Blank said.
The Falcons started four rookies and four
second-year players on defense in their NFC
championship game win over Green Bay,
giving Blank reason to believe Quinn and
general manager Thomas Dimitroff have
built a team designed for sustained success.
Blank, 74, noted that 41-year-old kicker
Matt Bryant is an exception on the mostly
youthful roster.
Other than Matt Bryant, who is probably
my age or even older, this is a young team,
Blank said. So I think were very wellpositioned to be competitive for a long

time going forward.
He has been in the

LaVines emergence as a budding star has

Obviously I was really proud of Venus,
Serena said, explaining how the siblings will
continue their relationship as per usual ahead

The Super Bowl gave Blank a chance to

defend Atlanta in light of recent comments
from President Trump that part of the city is
falling apart and crime infested.
Trumps comments came after Democratic
Rep. John Lewis said he doesnt consider
Trump a legitimate president.
The comments that were made by
President Trump, I would say its early in his
time in ofce and hes probably not as
informed about Atlanta as he should be or
will become, Blank said. I dont mean
that in a disparaging way. I mean I know
Atlanta is not that.
Going out there and trying to put a routine together to dunk is tough sometimes,
he said.
Thibodeau has never been one for the ash
and frills, so he was encouraged to see that
LaVine has put his focus elsewhere.
Hes done a lot more than just be a
dunker. His shooting; his playmaking; all
that stuff, Thibodeau said. But the big
thing is weighing whether the rest is more
important to be ready for the second half of
the season. So I dont want him putting a lot
of time and thought into that. I want him
thinking about what we have to do tonight.
... Prioritizing winning and our team is the
most important thing and I think hell do

Mexican president cancels

D.C. meeting with Trump
By Mark Stevenson

Supporters of President Adama Barrow, who was inaugurated at the Gambian Embassy in
neighboring Senegal, gather to receive him as he arrives from Dakar, in Banjul, Gambia.
Throngs cheer new presidents

triumphant return to Gambia
By Carley Petesch
BANJUL, Gambia President Adama

Barrow returned triumphantly to Gambia on
Thursday, nearly two months after winning
an election disputed by the countrys longtime dictator, to the cheers of hundreds of
thousands who jammed the roads in welcome.
Thats my president! the crowds cried,
eager to see Barrow fulfill the promise of
democratic reforms and newfound freedoms
in this tiny West African nation.
The impasse after the Dec. 1 balloting had
brought Gambia to the brink of military
intervention, as regional leaders vowed to
install the democratically elected Barrow
despite legal efforts by longtime ruler Yahya
Jammeh to overturn the result of the vote.
Barrow had flown to Banjul from Senegal,
where he had waited for Jammeh to leave
Gambia.
Barrow! Barrow! people shouted from
atop vehicles as far as the eye could see at
sunset Thursday as the presidents convoy
made its way through Banjul. Women danced
on minibuses and the sound of drums and
music blared in the streets. Spontaneous
parties erupted.
Barrow stood out of the roof of his vehicle
and waved as he slowly made his way on a
tour of the city and back to his home.
I am a happy man today, Barrow told the
Associated Press amid the

crush of his arrival. I
think the bad part is finished now.
He promised to get his
Cabinet in place and
then get the ball
rolling, adding that a
commission would be set
Adama Barrow up to address reconciliation.
Gambians had eagerly awaited Barrow,
who has promised to reverse many of the
authoritarian policies of Jammeh. The former leader oversaw a government accused of
imprisoning, torturing and killing his
political opponents. Some political prisoners have been released, but the fate of many
who have disappeared remains unknown.
Every Gambian must be free. We suffered
for 22 years, but now enough is enough,
said Seedia Badjie, 37.
Jammeh, who had been accused of rigging
previous elections during his regime, initially called Barrow to concede after the balloting. But when the talk began about
whether he could be indicted on war crimes
charges, Jammeh shocked the world with a
dramatic about-face, saying he would not
cede power after all.
The international community, alarmed by
Jammehs unpredictability, said the election
was fair and threw its support behind
Barrow, a 51-year-old businessman.

MEXICO CITY Mexican President

Enrique Pena Nieto canceled a planned
Tuesday meeting with President Donald J.
Trump on Thursday, signaling a remarkable
souring of relations between Washington
and one of its most important international
partners just days into the new administration.
The rift capped days of increasingly confrontational remarks on Twitter and in
dueling public appearances between the
two men, whose countries conduct some
$1.6 billion a day in cross-border trade, and
cooperate on everything from migration to
anti-drug enforcement to environmental
issues.
Hours after Trump tweeted that the meeting should be scrapped if Mexico doesnt
agree to pay for a wall along the nearly
2,000-mile border, Pena Nieto responded
via the same platform.
This morning we have

informed the White
House I will not attend
the working meeting
planned
for
next
Tuesday, the Mexican
president tweeted. He
added that Mexico reaffirms its willingness to
Enrique Nieto work with the United
States to reach agreements that benefit both nations.
In a speech later Thursday, Trump doubled
down on the dispute, saying that unless
Mexico is going to treat the United States
fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be
fruitless, and I want to go a different route.
We have no choice.
Trump also claimed that calling off the
meeting was a mutual decision and floated a
new possible threat to Mexico, which
sends about 80 percent of its exports to the
U.S. and which has vowed not to pay for a
wall.
Rights advocates warn of backlash

if Donald Trump pursues torture
LONDON It took more than a years

worth of beatings, sleep deprivation, psychological abuse and threats to his family
before former Guantanamo Bay detainee
Moazzam Begg said he cracked and confessed to being a member of the al-Qaida terror network. The only problem, he said, was
that it was a lie.
It was only a matter of weeks for Mourad
Benchellali, a Frenchman detained first at
Kandahar in Afghanistan. Because I was
afraid, because I hurt, and because I told
myself, when this is all worked out, Ill tell
the truth. But for now, better to tell them

what they want to hear, he said.
Chris Arendt, a former guard at the U.S.
detention facility in Cuba, said he routinely
saw what could be defined as torture, including prisoners being unnecessarily peppersprayed or taken for interrogations that
never happened. Instead, they were left
shackled for hours as a means of punishment.
During the year he spent at the U.S. detention facility in 2004, Arendt said it was clear
that most of the detainees had relatively little valuable intelligence.

Mateo, the couple hopes to help people of
different ages and backgrounds simply
learn how to listen. Working in pairs and
as part of a larger group, close to 100 people will gather in San Mateos Martin
Luther King Jr. Community Center and follow the Traubmans lead in listening to
others stories and sharing their own.
A lot of us are realizing that we are
strangers even in our own nation, said
Len Traubman. The entry point of this day
and of creating our desired culture of connection really begins with the person who
has the will and the skill to be the first one
to listen.
The Traubmans are no strangers to facilitating conversations between people with
different, and sometimes close to opposite, views. Len, 77, and Libby, 76, have
lived in the Bay Area for close to 40 years,
and have been exploring ways to approach
these questions for decades. Lens work as a

approval, ground can soon be broken on
the project aiming to spread 157 apartments across the top five stories of the
building, sitting above two floors of parking and other amenities such as a leasing
and fitness center. The project was initially designed for 107 units, but the most
recent proposal hiked its size. Units will
range from studios to two-bedroom apartments.
Though the development designed by

childrens dentist and Libbys work as a

social worker, combined with their roles as
parents to their two children, brought them
close to their community. But after a trip to
the Soviet Union in 1984, the couple realized how profoundly having conversations
with the people they had met on their trip
changed their perspectives on the United
States perceived enemy in the Cold War.
We realized how fearful we had been
based on the information we had been
given but not on any experience that we
had, said Libby Traubman.
Fueled by their learning, they continued
to seek opportunities to work with others
outside their own circles and focused on
those dealing with conflict. The couple is
going into their 25th year of hosting
monthly living room dialogues about the
Jewish-Palestinian conflict in their San
Mateo home and has advised countless
other groups and communities across the
globe on conversations regarding conflict
resolution.
As widespread as their work has been,
the Traubmans have seen their work ripple
through communities, as participants in
their sessions try to facilitate conversa-
tions in their own circles. They have seen

one group compile a cookbook with
recipes for dishes as well as recipes for
relationships, and a college student who
attended one of their sessions travel to
Israel to bring Israeli and Palestinian
musicians together in the same music
group.
Documenting and recording their work
has become a focus for the couple, who by
request gave away 70,000 copies of a documentary detailing one of their dialogue
sessions between Muslim and Christian
youth in Nigeria. For Libby Traubman,
helping others realize how much the effort
is grassroots is almost as important as the
conversations themselves.
Anybody can do it. You dont have to be
famous. You dont have to be real rich. Its
all about coming together, she said.
And the couple may be able to capitalize
on what they perceive as a desire among
many in their community for change in
recent months.
If all these people are feeling very motivated and anxious to help make a difference
and keep our country on track, we need to
work together in a very creative, positive,
responsible way, said Libby Traubman.

To be against, destroy [or] tear down,
slows the process.
They hope Sundays event will instead
turn the focus on listening and conversation.
Change is binary, said Len Traubman.
There is a no, but theres a yes. And we
have to paint a picture of what life is going
to look like in the future.
Though the Traubmans have been asked
to facilitate hundreds of conversations in
the 40 years they have lived in the Bay
Area, this was one conversation they were
proactive in initiating.
As you see from the media and the news,
there have been a lot of women and men on
the streets, said Libby Traubman. But
now, its time to get to know each other off
the streets and be with each other. Be creative and know each other.
DNA Architects ultimately received the

support needed, some commissioners
shared reservations regarding its fit downtown.
If we are going to build high-quality
housing that will provide best-in-class
opportunities for the community, then Im
not sure this is that, said Planning
Commissioner Carlos Martin, according to
a video of the meeting. Martin issued the
sole vote against the proposal.
Citing its location on a busy corner of
the city near a Highway 101 access point,
Martin raised questions regarding whether
the project included an adequate amount of
open space for prospective tenants.
Considering the proximity to the Caltrain
station, he also identified the likelihood
that the units would be inundated with train
noise.
Though he noted the project addressed
the citys need for additional housing, he
felt the demerits were too substantial to

overlook.
This doesnt feel like an optimal area,
Martin said. Yes, we are getting housing.
But are we getting a community? Is this
helping the community?
Commissioner Mark Nagales also
expressed concerns regarding the absence
of any affordably-priced units offered in
the project.
By state law, the project is not required
to include any below-market rate units,
because the apartments are for rent. Only
developments including units for sale
would be obligated to set a portion aside at
an affordable price.
Under pressing by Nagales, the developer ultimately agreed to offer two apartments at an affordable price.
Commission Chair Alex Khalfin said he
recognized the validity of the issues raised
by his more critical colleagues, but ultimately believed the project offered a variety of valuable community enhancements.
There is no such thing as a perfect project. What we have to do is balance the good
and the bad, and for me personally, I think
there is more good than bad, he said. I
think this is a bigger part of the larger
vision of what we need to accomplish.
The projects approval comes amidst a
concerted effort by South San Francisco

officials to pump new life into the area surrounding Grand Avenue through the construction of a variety of new residential
developments.
The location of the 150 S. Airport Blvd.
development is only blocks from the massive Sares Regis project aiming to add
more than 250 new apartments and townhomes near the 400 block of Airport
Boulevard.
A central focus of officials interested in
rejuvenating the core commercial district
through development of new residential
projects is capitalizing on a relocated
Caltrain platform designed to move the
station closer to downtown.
Officials are hopeful the station will
enhance the interest in transit-oriented
developments where future residents lean
on easy access to the train or a short commute to the citys hub of biotech jobs east
of Highway 101 as a means of avoiding
traffic and parking congestion problems
downtown.
Commissioner Alan Wong said he
believed the development would further the
goals of the downtown rejuvenation plan.
I like the project. We do need the housing. This is a big step forward in revitalizing the area, he said.
DOGS
breeds, which are known as foundation

stock service breeds, are not officially recognized by the American Kennel Club, so
they do not appear in as many shows as
more established breeds. One example is the
miniature Australian shepherd, which was
officially recognized by the American
Kennel Club in 2015. The breed gained popularity at shows like Stones years before its
acceptance. Others, such as the Danish
Swedish farmdog and Transylvanian hound,
will have the same opportunity this year.
But for many, the biggest draw is watching the judging process determining which
dog will leave with the title best in show.
Stone says dogs are judged within their individual breeds, and then within seven groups
containing several breeds, such as hound
and terrier. Best in show is awarded to the
dog who, out of the seven chosen as best in
their groups, is deemed the most fit to perform its job, said Trotter.
All the dogs have a specific job description, she said. You know this dog could
still do the job it was bred to do.
Trotter, who has judged at the Golden Gate
show, enjoys steeping in the history of dog
breeds and diversity of their roles, which
were often to perform some work function.
She said poodles were once working water
dogs, whose coats were trimmed specifically to reduce the amount of fur that would get
wet when they jumped into water.
When you see dogs that are so confident
of their job description in their persona and
character, she said. Thats what the evaluation is meant to do.
The Golden Gate Kennel Club Dog Show
takes place 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Jan. 28 and 29
at the Cow Palace at 2600 Geneva Ave. in
Daly City. Visit goldengatekennelclub.com
for more information.

future.
For the dogs, owners and breeders, the
Golden Gate show offers them a community
not found at other shows.
Patricia Trotter has attended the Golden
Gate show since the 1960s as a breeder,
exhibitor and judge. She lives in Carmel,
where she breeds Norwegian elkhounds.
Trotter will be bringing her dogs to this
years event, which she says never fails to
excite dogs of all ages.
When theyre at the bench, theyre
thinking Hey, look at all these people who
came to see me, she said. When theyre in
the show ring, they dont get to interact
with the spectators as much as they do when
theyre on the bench.
Trotter reports that even her younger dogs
are tired after the excitement of interacting
with fans all day. She says the show fosters
conversations among dog owners and breeders, who are able to share their experiences
with like-minded professionals.
By the same token, you have people
coming by and theyll stop and talk and it
gives the dog owners an opportunity to
interact with the public, she said.
And it seems as though the public comes
to learn. Stone said the flyball show, which
shows off the dogs athleticism by having
them run over a series of low hurdles to
retrieve a ball, has been increasingly popular among event participants.
Also a favorite is the open show, which
allows dogs from newer breeds to get some
time in the spotlight. Stone said these

Slenderman explores online

craze and attempted murder
By Frazier Moore
NEW YORK The Slender

Man craze swept the younger
digerati while their unwitting
elders occupied themselves
online with Twitter, Facebook
and YouTube.
Only in May 2014 did the
general public hear of
Slender Man when news
erupted that two 12-year-old
Wisconsin girls had lured a
friend into the woods and
stabbed her 19 times.

Three years after the attack,
the girls are set to be tried as
adults for attempted murder.
Why did they do it? Turns
out, to appease and curry
favor with this Slender Man
character.
Slender Man, it turned out,
was all the rage for youngsters
worldwide. He was born
with an online post in June
2009 as a mysterious specter
photo-shopped into everyday
images of children at play.
From that tantalizing start,

Slender Man (also known as
Slenderman or just Slender)
exploded as a crowdsourced
canon of belief and fantasy.
Slender Man was typically
depicted as a spidery figure in
a black suit with a featureless
white face. He was regarded
by his devotees as alternately
a sinister force and an avenging angel. He flourished as a
communal boogeyman and, at
the same time, an abiding savior who found global expres-
sion in fan fiction, artwork

and videos.
Trevor J. Blank, a digital
folklorist, declares in the film,
If theres one thing the cult of
Slender Man is about, its
about making it all believable,
especially by remaining
unverifiable. And thats really
how folk belief works.
Because you cant prove
beyond a shadow of a doubt
that Slender Man is fake or
real.

CARY
LEIB OWITZ:
MUS EUM
S HOW, AT THE CONTEMPORARY
JEWISH MUSEUM IN SAN FRANCISCO. Since the early 1990s, when he became
widely known under the moniker
Candyass, Cary Leibowitz has created
work driven by anxieties, neuroses and premonitions of difference. The New Yorkbased artist creates comic, text-based works
with an emphatically gay and often Jewish
perspective that address issues of identity,
kitsch, modernist critique and queer politics. With a preference for lowbrow aesthetics and threadbare materials, Leibowitz creates work with a bold, cartoon-like quality:
pop colors are combined with a childish
scrawl, proclaiming abundant displays of
insecurity and exposing simplistic raw
truths about contemporary society. The
Contemporary Jewish Museum in San
Francisco hosts the first comprehensive
career survey and solo museum exhibition
of Leibowitzs work, featuring 350 pieces
from 1987 to the present: paintings, commercially manufactured multiples, works on
paper, archival material and fabric works. In
addition to original works, the exhibition
will also include many of the multiples created specifically for individual exhibitions
that carry on Leibowitzs obsession with
popular culture, identity and fine art. Cary
Leibowitz: Museum Show is organized by
The Contemporary Jewish Museum. The
exhibition is accompanied by a 256-page
fully-illustrated hardcover catalog with contributions by CJM Associate Curator
Anastasia James and Leibowitz, as well as
Rhonda Lieberman, Hilton Als, Simon
Lince, Fran Drescher, David Bonetti and

Glen Helfand.

An old-fashioned cherry cupcake

By Elizabeth Karmel
This old-fashioned cherry cupcake is just

the thing for Valentines Day. Ive updated
a cake that my mother used to make for my
sisters and me when we were children with
all the flavors of a bourbon old-fashioned.
The rosy pink color of the cake immediately brings to mind the Feast of Saint
Valentine.
When I drink old-fashioneds, I seldom
add cherries, but the cherries are essential
to this cake. The cake is colored a beautiful
rosy pink by the addition of maraschino
cherry juice and a generous amount of
chopped cherries that add texture, and
moisture to the light white cake. The cake
itself tastes like the best vanilla cake you
have ever ate with a soft nod to the
maraschino cherries. A fragrant orangebourbon buttercream tops the cupcakes and
completes the adult old-fashioned flavor.
I had remembered this cake fondly but
sometimes the memory is better than the
actual thing. Not so in the case of this
cake. In fact, I made it twice recently while
my mother and I visited my sister and her
family. We couldnt get enough of the cake
and it is now my current favorite. After all,
everything that is new was once old and
vice versa. When making this cake for a
mixed age crowd, you can make two versions of the boozy icing and eliminate the
bourbon for the under 21 crowd. The orange
buttercream brings a bright taste of sunshine to what can sometimes be dreary days
in February, with or without the bourbon.
I never thought that this simple recipe
would remind me of an important lesson.
The day that I was baking the cupcakes for
the photo, I ran into a legendary pastry
chef. When I told him what I was making,
he said: You cooks (as opposed to pastry
chefs) have all the fun. Can you imagine

effect, for both better and worse, would have
been valuable for all non-initiates and,
especially, parents.
HBOs Beware the Slenderman isnt that
film. The film examines how an urban
myth could take root in impressionable
young minds, leading to an unspeakable
act. But its would-be murderers are not your
everyday impressionable youths. One,
Anissa Weier, is found to have a delusional
disorder. The other, Morgan Geyser, is diagnosed with early childhood schizophrenia.
As such, the case of Morgan and Anissa
hardly seems representative of anything
beyond a pair of already troubled young people who spun out tragically. For them,
Slender Man just seems to have been the last
straw.

since kindergarten, who, apart from her role
as attackee, seems extraneous to the films
intended narrative. (Only late in the film are
viewers even tipped to Paytons present-day
condition: She did recover physically, at
least. But we learn nothing more about her.)
The film tries, but fails, to put the crime in
a cultural context. Experts and other talking
heads weigh in on the larger implications of
the Slender Man mania. But the film prefers
to savor more than probe, as if having fallen
under Slender Mans spell. Not satisfied to
provide an instructive sample of online
Slender Man imagery, it becomes an exercise
in macabre excess. Basking in Slender Man
visuals and a creepy musical score, the documentary seems out to be its own horror flick.
As for the current status of Slender Man
among global youth (has the craze mushroomed further or leveled off or is it
soooo over?) the viewer is told nothing.
Instead, the film festishizes a single
ghastly crime for which it seems to hold
Slender Man accountable.
Morgans mother, like the girls other
parents, seeks refuge in her happy recollections. Struggling to see her daughter in the
best light possible, she recalls that Morgan

Googles Pixel phone shines despite misgauging demand

By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO The Pixel

phone, Googles answer to Apples
iPhone and Samsungs Galaxy, is off to
a promising start but might have
done even better had Google managed
consumer demand as smartly as the
devices sleek design.
Although Google hasnt released
sales figures, industry researchers say
the Pixel has been a hot item since its
October debut was greeted with mostly
glowing reviews and the biggest marketing blitz in Googles 18-year history.
But there were missed opportunities.
Google didnt have enough Pixels
available to meet demand. Rather than
wait several weeks, many consumers

Fraulein Schneider tolerates her

In this setting, some people like
Cliff and Fraulein Schneider recognize
the dangers posed by the rise of the

Herr Schultz, even though hes Jewish.
All of this unfolds through John

PG&E
forming the company into the safest
and most reliable energy provider in
America and earning back the trust of
the communities it serves.
We sincerely apologize to the families and friends of those who lost their
lives or were injured in this tragic
explosion, and we want them to know
our mission and our commitment to
safety will never stop, the company
said in a statement.
The advertising component of the
sentence requires PG&E to air TV commercials over three months at a maximum cost of $3 million. The commer-
interested in the Pixel probably bought

an iPhone, Galaxy or another phone
instead. And these people arent likely
to need a phone replacement for another year or two.
Google also struck a deal to sell it
through just one wireless carrier,
Verizon. Although Googles online
store sold Pixels compatible with other
wireless networks, most people dont
shop for phones that way. Of course,
its a moot point if there werent
enough Pixels to sell, but Google likely would have produced more if it had
distribution deals with other carriers.
Its not surprising that Google misjudged the market, given that this is
the search companys first stab at making its own phone. Previously, it partnered with various manufacturers on a
Nexus line of phones to showcase its
Android operating system, but that

effort barely made a dent.
This was probably a really good
learning experience for them, says
Neil Doshi, an analyst with Mizhuo
Securities USA.
The Pixels success is important to
Google because it wants to ensure
theres a stylish Android phone to compete with the iPhone and drive more
affluent consumers to its search
engine, maps, YouTube videos and
other services. Samsungs Galaxy and
other phones also run on Android, but
those devices have been de-emphasizing Googles services.
Google, which is based in Mountain
View can afford to make some mistakes
as it tries to establish the Pixel because
its internet search and advertising network brings in so much revenue.

is based on John Van Drutens play, I
Am a Camera and stories by
Christopher Isherwood.
Of course theres the title song,
which isnt heard until late in the second act. Before that are such gems as
the opening number, Willkommen
along with Mein Herr, Maybe This
Time, Money, If You Could See
Her and others.
The most chilling song is also one
of the most tuneful, Tomorrow
Belongs to Me, sung by a boy (Leo
McMahon) in what looks like a Boy
Scout outfit except for the swastika
arm band.
Also featured in the Hillbarn production is Ernst Ludwig (Russell Ward),
the German who befriends Cliff but
who has his own motives.
This production and its outstanding
cast are directed by Erica Wyman
Abrahamson, who played Sally in
Broadway By the Bays 2004 production. The terrific choreography is by
Riette Burdick Fallant.

Joseph Murphy directs the 10-member orchestra on an upstage platform
behind a glittery curtain. In a welcome
reversal from some previous Hillbarn
musicals, the orchestra doesnt overpower the singers.
Even though the stage musical premiered in 1966, it remains timely. As
Hillbarn artistic director Dan Demers
points out in his program notes, The
musicals warning about the temptations of fascism, nationalism and prejudice echo through time, being, even
in this day, relevant.
Because of its political and sexual
themes, Demers recommends this
show for mature audiences only.
Running about two and half hours
with one intermission, it rewards such
an audience with a polished, powerful,
provocative production.
Cabaret will run through Feb. 5 at
Hillbarn Theatre, 1285 E. Hillsdale
Blvd., Foster City. For tickets and

convictions, the punishment imposed
and steps taken to prevent the recurrence of similar crimes, the judge said.
PG&E estimates the ad campaign
will result in about 12,500 roughly
60-second commercials.
Jurors in August convicted the company of five of 11 counts of violating
pipeline safety laws, including failing
to gather information to evaluate
potential gas pipeline threats and
deliberately not classifying a gas line
as high risk. No employees were
charged, so no one was facing prison
time.
Prosecutors said the company intentionally misclassified pipelines so it
would not have to subject them to
appropriate testing, choosing a cheaper method to save money.
Jurors also convicted the utility of

obstructing investigators looking
into the blast.
PG&E attorneys said during trial that
the companys engineers did not think
the pipelines posed a safety risk, and
the company did not intend to mislead
investigators.
The stakes in the case dropped dramatically, however, when prosecutors
made the surprising decision several
days into jury deliberations not to pursue a potential $562 million fine if
PG&E was convicted of any of the
pipeline safety counts.
The judge said he wants PG&E to perform as much of the community service requirement as possible in San
Bruno. High-level personnel must
carry out at least 2,000 of the 10,000
hours, Henderson said.

both your and other peoples motives. Do your own
thing. Know what you want and dont stop until you get
it. Change will lead to happiness.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Dont limit what you
can do. If someone tries to make your life difficult, look

Trump poised to seek new military options for defeating IS

By Lolita C. Baldor
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump

is expected to ask the Pentagon for ways to
accelerate the fight against Islamic State
militants in Iraq and Syria, and officials said
the options probably would include steps
the Obama administration considered but
never acted on, from adding significantly
more U.S. troops to boosting military aid
to Kurdish fighters
Trumps visit Friday to the Defense
Departments headquarters will start the
conversation over how to fulfill his inauguration address pledge to eradicate radical
Islamic terrorism completely from the face
of the Earth.
Among the possible options are sending
in more Apache helicopters and giving the
U.S. military broader authority to make routine combat decisions, according to current
and former U.S. officials familiar with the
ongoing discussions.
The officials werent authorized to publicly discuss internal deliberations and
spoke on condition of anonymity.
As a candidate and now president, Trump
has never articulated a detailed plan for
defeating IS, and his thoughts on a strategy
are murky.
He has railed against the trillions of dollars that Americas post-9/11 wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan have cost. But he suggested at one point that he would have no
choice but to exponentially expand the
Obama administrations limited footprint
of American forces fighting the militants.
There are about 5,160 U.S. troops in Iraq
now, about 100 fewer than the maximum
cap. There are no more than 503 in Syria.
In a Republican primary debate last March,

Trump raised the prospect
of needing 20, 000 to
30,000 troops to knock
out IS.
Its unlikely that military commanders would
push for many thousands
Donald Trump of additional troops in
Iraq. While the Iraqis
have asked for more help, a large U.S. military presence could unsettle the fragile,
U.S.-allied government.
One possible option in Syria is sending
an Army brigade to help retake IS headquarters of Raqqa, according to the officials.
Military planners have discussed that
option during previous reviews, and could
give it to Trump so he has the widest array
of possible changes.
The idea always involved the U.S. handing off authority to a local council or group
to govern liberated areas, but military commanders never endorsed or recommended the
proposal in the past.
More likely could be new ways to enhance
the abilities of the U. S. -backed Syrian
Kurds, known as the YPG. They have been
the most effective force against IS in northern and eastern Syria.
American support is sensitive.
NATO ally Turkey considers the group a
terrorist organization. But the YPG forms
the main force to retake Raqqa and some in
the Pentagon have suggested giving the
Kurds heavy weapons, including rocketpropelled grenades, machine guns and
heavy combat vehicles. The idea never
made it through debate in President Barack
REUTERS
Obamas National Security Council.

Is Ivanka Trump Jewish? In Israel, she has a trump card

By Daniel Estrin
PETAH TIKVA, Israel Is Ivanka Trump

really Jewish?
Last summer, Israels religious authorities
issued a ruling that raised doubts about her
conversion to Judaism. But after her father
was elected president, they have changed
their tune, raising eyebrows among
activists who have long lobbied the rabbinical establishment to be more tolerant
toward converts.
President Donald Trumps daughter converted to Judaism under a prominent
Orthodox rabbi in Manhattan before her
2009 marriage to Jared Kushner, an observant Jew.
In its ruling last July,

an Israeli government
religious court rejected
the legitimacy of another
conversion by the same
rabbi. Although it didnt
directly affect Ivanka
Trump, it raised questions
as to whether Israels
Ivanka Trump powerful religious establishment would recognize her as being Jewish.
But in early December, just weeks after
Trumps election victory, Israels chief rabbis said they would work to change the rules
for recognizing conversions performed
abroad and they singled out Ivanka
Trump.
According to the new proposed plan ...

her conversion will be certified without the
need for additional checks, the announcement said.
Israeli activists say the sudden policy
change appears to be an attempt to curry
favor with the new U.S. president. Ivanka
Trumps husband has been appointed a senior adviser to Trump and is expected to focus
on Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts.
An Israeli rabbinic committee has already
met several times to discuss conversion
policy, a speedier pace than usual, activists
say.
The timing is certainly suspicious, said
Rabbi Seth Farber, director of ITIM, an
organization that represents converts seeking recognition from the rabbinate. My
biggest fear is that the rabbinate will find

some way to find Ms. Trump kosher, to recognize her conversion, but leave thousands
of other converts behind, simply saying
theyre not Jewish enough for us.
The Jewish Week, a New York newspaper,
quoted an anonymous source with ties to
Trumps presidential transition team as saying high-ranking aides had expressed concern to Israel regarding the legitimacy of
Ivanka Trumps conversion, and that Israeli
efforts to recognize her conversion would
foster a closer relationship between the
Trump family and Israel.
A spokeswoman for Trump did not return a
request for confirmation, and Rabbi Levi
Shemtov, a rabbi in Washington who is
close to Ivanka Trump, declined comment.
