The Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District wants
the lawsuit by a former student
tossed, saying she waited so many
years after being molested by a
janitor to le a claim that key wit-
nesses have either died, moved to
parts unknown
or left its
employment.

Tom DeLapp
who is speak-
i ng on behal f
of the district
on t hi s mat t er.
On Friday, the district led a
request for dismissal known as
a demurrer in the case against it
and several current and former
employees including County
Superintendent Anne Campbell.
The demurrer argues a July 2013
claim against the district a
required precursor to a lawsuit
was not led until after the six-
month statute of limitations
which it calculates as Nov. 29,
2001, if based on the date of the
students alleged molestation and
April 2012 if using reports of the
prosecution. A hearing is set for
May 6.
The suit brought by Roxanne
Pedro, now an adult, contends that
had the district acted on the infor-
mation it had, janitor and coach
Andre Edwards would not have
assaulted her in 2001 or groped a
student in 2010. The last act led to
Edwards conviction for both inci-
dents and, according to Pedro,
unearthed new proof that the dis-

Merlin deserves recognition;
hes outlived most of his fellow
species and although he might be a
little cranky, he and his two new
roommates are educating children
about living in harmony with
wildlife.
CuriOdyssey at Coyote Point is
home to Merlin, a 14-year-old rac-
coon who is the oldest living rac-
coon in captivity on record.
Hes spent most of his life at the
science and rescue wildlife center
in San Mateo and his digs were
recently upgraded thanks to an
anonymous donor who helped fund
the centers new raccoon habitat,
said Niki Finch-Morales, director
of wildlife at CuriOdyssey.
Merlins new dwelling is three
times larger and is tted with water
features, grassy patches, stone
decor and two new female compan-
ions.
About two weeks ago, Merlin,
Pebbles and Tilly ofcially began
to reside under the same roof.
Raccoons are typically solitary,
so it took some time for the trio to
become acquainted, but now all
three are on display for children to
have an up-close encounter,
Finch-Morales said.
Its building this kind of rela-
tionship when kids are young and
giving them the opportunity ... to
get up close to animals and have a
personal experience, Finch-
Morales said. Theyre more will-
ing to accept the closeness of
wildlife.
Visitors can safely stand inches
away from the frisky raccoons and
watch as their trainers feed, play
and teach them tricks.
Pebbles and Tilly have no
qualms following commands and
showing kids of what theyre
capable.
But in his old age, Merlin has
grown exceedingly particular and
rarely greets anyone without a
hiss; except for his beloved train-
er Jen Gale, Finch-Morales said.
He sleeps most of the time, but
allows Gale to massage his arthrit-
ic back and is quick to perk up
when she brings him food, Finch-

The woman arrested at San Francisco
International Airport Wednesday while
awaiting trial for violating a court order
banning her from the site unless lawfully
ticketed is being held on $15,000 bail and
prosecutors anticipate consolidating her
cases.
Marilyn Jean Hartman, 62, was out of cus-
tody on her own recognizance in the earlier
case when she was discovered at the SFO
baggage claim area in violating of the ban.
On Friday, Judge Richard Livermore ordered
her held on $15,000 bail after she pleaded
not guilty to charges of trespassing and
violating a court order.
The charges are exactly
the same as those led a
week ago when Hartman
was also arrested at the
food court past security.
Hartmans frequent
appearances at SFO
nabbed headlines in
February when she was
arrested following three
attempts to board Hawaii-
bound ights with a tick-
et. The rst time she got on board but was
discovered when the actual ticket holder
arrived at the seat. The next two times,
including once when she used a discarded
boarding pass, she was stopped at the secu-
rity gate. After her arrest following the third
attempt to sneak through security, Hartman
reportedly told authorities she has cancer
and wanted to go somewhere warm.
Hartman pleaded no contest and received
credit for time served along with an order to
stay away unless she had a ticket in her own
name. On March 18, she was arrested at the
food court and scheduled for an Aug. 4 jury
trial before being released. On March 26,
she was arrested in baggage claim.
On Friday, Hartman did not waive her
right to a speedy prosecution as she had in
the earlier case and a judge set the newest
trial for April 21. However, District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said the August
trial date was vacated on Friday and both
cases should be put together at an April 3
conference.

Refinery to pay
$180K in air quality settlement
SAN FRANCISCO Arenery in Northern
California has agreed to pay more than
$180,000 to settle air quality violations.

ment Friday that Valero Rening Company in
Benicia had agreed to pay the civil penalty
for seven notices that the air quality agency
issued in 2011 for incidents that occurred in
December 2010.

failure that caused an upset of Valeros uid

The total settlement is $183,000, and the
funds will be used to nance the air districts

Bay Area gas prices on the rise
Bay Area gas prices are on the upswing,
according to the latest AAAdata.
In Oakland, the price for a gallon of regu-
lar unleaded was $3.93, up 16 cents from one
month ago, the American Automobile
Association said Wednesday.
In San Jose, the price for that same gallon
is $3.96, an increase of 17 cents over last
month.
And San Francisco had some of the most
expensive gas on Wednesday at $4.03,
which is an 18-cent increase from last
month.
As expensive as these prices are, they still
represent less of an increase than the state as
a whole. Statewide, the average cost of a gal-
lon is $3.98, which is up 19 cents from last
month.
The national average right now is $3.54,
which is only 12 cents more than the cost for
a gallon last month.

SACRAMENTO California is seeing a
late surge in the number of people signing
up for health insurance coverage ahead of
next weeks deadline and state ofcials
are encouraging more people to apply.
The state already reported surpassing 1
million enrollees. But Covered California
Executive Director Peter Lee said Friday that
another 80,000 people enrolled in the past
four days alone.
We are in this urry and frenzy of open-
enrollment period, said Lee, who spoke to
the Associated Press by phone after a news
event in the Los Angeles area.
Covered California is partnering with
unions, community groups and health
advocates to hold sign-up events across
the state in a final campaign to help
people get subsidized health coverage.
More than 100 community events are
planned this weekend.
Monday marks this years open-enroll-
ment deadline, but consumers will get extra
time to nish their applications. Those
who start the application process by mid-
night Monday will have until mid-April to
nish.
Would I rather they hadnt waited until
the last minute? Absolutely, Lee said. Am
I thrilled that were going to help them get
insurance now? Also absolutely.
People who start an application on the
states health insurance exchange by 11:59
p.m. Monday will have until April 15 to n-
ish. The announcement comes after the
Obama administration said it would allow
people additional time to sign up in certain
situations.
Covered California has been using radio
and television ads, mailers, YouTube
videos, and even marketing in barber shops
and supermarkets to encourage people to
sign up.
But supporters say getting help face-to-
face is crucial when the process requires
multiple documents such as drivers licens-
es, tax lings and pay stubs. As part of its
final push, the Service Employees
International Union-United Healthcare
Workers, which represents home health-
care workers, is hosting a 19-hour enroll-
ment marathon in Los Angeles and a 17-
hour sign-up session in Sacramento on
Monday.
Our union is committed to improving
health-care access throughout the state, and
one of the easiest ways to do that is through
signing up people for health insurance,
SEIU-UHWspokesman Sean Wherley said.
The state exchange is reporting a high
number of enrollees, despite problems with
its website and complaints about long wait
times or unanswered calls for people seek-
ing help through its service centers. Most
of the enrollees, 87 percent, qualify for sub-
sidized health coverage.
Its not clear how many of those enrollees
were uninsured or how many have paid
health premiums to receive coverage. But
Lee said the exchange intends to be trans-
parent and share such data in the future.
Lee also acknowledged there have been
bumps in the open-enrollment period,
including trouble at call centers set up to
help consumers.

U.S. lawmakers discuss
attack at Los Angeles airport
LOS ANGELES U.S. lawmakers pressed airport and
security ofcials Friday about problems responding to the
Los Angeles International Airport shooting last year and
said the incident illuminated similar gaps that needed to be
addressed at airports across the nation.
The hearing at LAX before a House transportation securi-
ty subcommittee was marked by pointed questions about
preparedness and the deployment of ofcers after two recent
reports were critical of airport security and the emergency
response.
Before the hearing began, lawmakers and the administra-
tor of the Transportation Security Administration retraced
the gunmans steps through Terminal 3 and met with the
widow of Ofcer Gerardo Hernandez, who was killed in the
Nov. 1 attack targeting TSAofcers. Two other ofcers and
a passenger were also wounded.
The discussion at the hearing included the ndings of a
TSA report this week that reviewed security at nearly 450
airports nationwide.
Girl talks to pope on immigration, then dad freed
LOS ANGELES After a 10-year-old California girl trav-
eled to the Vatican to plead with Pope Francis for help as her
father faced deportation, the man was released Friday on
bond from immigration detention.
Mario Vargas was freed from a detention facility in
Louisiana after he posted $5,000 bond. Arelative who saw
the girl on television pleading with the pope helped with
the funding, said his wife, Lola Vargas.
When she left, her wish was that her father would be
home, she told the Associated Press in Spanish. Thank
God she is going to get her wish.

TRENTON, N.J. Republican Gov.
Chris Christie has spent the past few days
putting down trafc cones to separate him-
self from scandal.
The usually garrulous governor and possi-
ble 2016 presidential contender had avoided
news conferences and interviews for more
than two months until Thursday, the day a
report he commissioned cleared him of any
involvement in the politically motivated
plot to create huge trafc jams at the George
Washington Bridge last year.
With investigations by federal prosecu-
tors and state lawmakers looming, Christie
also submitted to an interview Thursday
with Diane Sawyer on ABC and another set
to air Friday night on Fox News.
And a vintage, deant Christie re-emerged
Friday at a Statehouse news conference in
which he cracked jokes, jousted with
reporters and acknowledged the toll of the
scrutiny.
There is no question this shakes your
condence, he said. If it doesnt, youre
arrogant.
Christie defended the integrity of the tax-
payer-funded report clearing him. It was
produced by lawyers chosen by his ofce.
He boldly laid down a solid double line in
the road.
I think the report will stand the test of
time, he said, and it will be tested by the
other investigations that are going on.
Democrats have blasted the ndings as a
whitewash and an incomplete piece of
work, noting that the two Christie allies
accused of engineering the trafc jams by
ordering lane closings refused to cooperate
with the lawyers.
But Christie said the lawyers would not
give away their reputations to do some
kind of slipshod job for me.
Alawyer for one of the aides who refused
to be interviewed, former deputy chief of
staff Bridget Kelly, cast doubt on the credi-
bility of the governors report, which con-
cludes Kelly and a co-conspirator acted
alone in shutting down trafc.
The only credible investigation into the
lane closings is being conducted by the
U.S. attorneys office, Kelly lawyer
Michael Critchley said.
Christie red Kelly in January after learn-
ing she set the trafc scheme in motion
with the message, time for some trafc
problems in Fort Lee.
Christie termed the lane closings inex-
plicably stupid. The report cast Kelly in
unattering personal terms.
On Friday, Critchley said the attempt to
impugn Kellys credibility is unsurprising
because she may have evidence that contra-
dicts the reports conclusion that no one
else in Christies ofce knew of the plot in
advance.
The report portrayed the governor as a
careful yet emotional leader who looked
into the eyes of his top staffers as he asked
what they knew about the lane closings.
It was deeply critical of Kelly and a former
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
ofcial suspected of orchestrating the grid-
lock to punish a Democratic mayor who did-
nt endorse Christie for re-election.
Republicans beyond New Jersey remain
uncertain about Christies ability to recover
politically ahead of the 2016 White House
contest. But Hogan Gidley, a veteran GOP
operative, said: Its clearly been a good
week for Chris Christie.
Ed Borden, a Democrat and former New
Jersey prosecutor who has been hired to do
independent reports for some government
entities, said he found the report on the
scandal to be thorough but was troubled by
the tone.

WASHINGTON The White House
announced a wide-ranging plan Friday aimed
at cutting methane emissions from oil and
gas drilling, landlls and other sources, part
of President Barack Obamas strategy to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions that con-
tribute to global warming.
The White House plan, which could lead to
several new regulations on energy produc-
tion and waste management, comes amid
concerns about increased methane emis-
sions resulting from an ongoing boom in
drilling for oil and natural gas.
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas
released by landlls, cattle and leaks from
oil and gas production. It is 21 times more
potent at trapping heat than carbon dioxide,
the most abundant global warming gas,
although it doesnt stay in the air as long.
Methane emissions make up about 9 percent
of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, accord-
ing to government estimates.
Experts say methane leaks can be con-
trolled by fixes such as better gaskets,
maintenance and monitoring. Such xes are
also thought to be cost-effective, since the
industry ends up with more product to sell.
In the booming Bakken region of North
Dakota and Montana, huge amounts of
methane and other gases are burned off, or
ared, during oil production, wasting mil-
lions of dollars and contributing to air pol-
lution.
The White House said the Environmental
Protection Agency will study how methane
is released during oil and gas drilling and
decide by the end of the year whether to
develop new regulations for methane emis-
sions. If imposed, the regulations would be
completed by the end of 2016, just before
Obama leaves ofce.
The White House also said the Interior
Department will propose updated standards
to reduce venting and aring of methane
from oil and gas production on public lands.
Next month, the Bureau of Land
Management will begin a rule-making
process to require the capture and sale of
methane waste produced by coal mines on
lands leased by the federal government.
This summer, the EPAwill propose updat-
ed standards to reduce methane from new
landlls and consider whether to impose
new standards for existing landl l s.
In June, the Agriculture Department and
other agencies will release a strategy for
voluntary steps to reduce methane emis-
sions from cattle, with the goal of cutting
dairy sector greenhouse gas emissions by
25 percent by 2020.
Environmental groups praised the White
House plan, although they noted that many
details remain incomplete.
The important thing is they charted a
specic pathway forward, which we think
should lead and will lead to additional stan-
dards for (reducing) methane leakage, said
David Doniger, director of the climate and
clean air program at the Natural Resources
Defense Council, an environmental group.
Afederal strategy to reduce venting, ar-
ing and leaks of natural gas is good for the
environment and good for national energy
security, said Fred Krupp, president of the
Environmental Defense Fund.
Industry groups reacted warily. While they
support continued efforts to reduce methane
emissions, ofcials cautioned against new
regulations.

Nuke test cheating
linked to awed leadership
WASHINGTON A basic contradiction
lies at the root of an exam-cheating scandal
that decimated the ranks of an Air Force
nuclear missile group, investigators say:
Commanders were demanding perfection in
testing and ethics but also tacitly condoned
rule-bending or even willfully ignored
cheating.
An Air Force investigation concluded that
no commanders participated in or knew
about the specific forms of cheating in
which 91 missile ofcers were implicated at
Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. But nine
commanders, representing nearly the entire
operational chain of command in the 341st
Missile Wing, were red and the wing com-
mander, Col. Robert Stanley, was allowed to
resign.
From the perspective of a young compa-
ny-grade ofcer looking up the chain of
command, leadership has delivered conict-
ing messages on integrity and test per-
formance, the report said. Leaders pressured
young officers to achieve high scores
while tacitly condoning acts that take
care of crew members who might otherwise
fall short of the expected perfect result, it
said.
Officials abandoning
hope of finding survivors
ARLINGTON, Wash. Washington
authorities say they have all but abandoned
hope of nding mudslide survivors, but are
keeping the ofcial death toll at 17.
Snohomish County Executive Director
Gary Haakenson repeated that number
Friday, a day after authorities said the toll
would rise signicantly.
Authorities have previously acknowl-
edged locating at least 25 bodies but have
only recovered 17 people.
Haakenson says he believes crews are
nding more bodies in the sodden debris but
the process from extraction to identica-
tion by the medical examiners ofce is
very slow.
He says ofcials want to hold out hope for
survivors, but at some point we have to
expect the worst.
There are 90 people conrmed missing
from Saturdays mudslide in Oso, 55 miles
northeast of Seattle.

DETROIT Attorney General Eric Holder
on Friday extended federal recognition to the
marriages of about 300 same-sex couples
that took place in Michigan before a federal
appeals court put those unions on hold.
Holders action will enable the govern-
ment to extend eligibility for federal bene-
ts to the Michigan couples who married
Saturday, which means they can le federal
taxes jointly, get Social Security benets for
spouses and request legal immigration status
for partners, among other
benets.
The attorney general
said the families should
not be asked to endure
uncertainty regarding
their benefits while
courts decide the issue of
same-sex marriage in
Michigan. Holder did the
same thing in Utah,
where more than 1,000 same-sex couples
got married before the U.S. Supreme Court
put those unions on hold in January after a
federal judge overturned the conservative
states same-sex marriage ban in
December.
Holders decision came a week after U.S.
District Judge Bernard Friedman in Detroit
struck down the gay marriage ban and two
days after Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder called
last weekends marriages legal but said
Michigan wont recognize them.
Snyder told reporters following an unrelat-
ed bill signing in Lansing that Holders
actions werent a surprise because of the sit-
uation in Utah and the position he took
there.

OPINION 9
Misguided ballot initiative
Editor,
The SEIU-sponsored Ballot
Initiative 13-0064 is a self serving,
thinly veiled attempt to further the
strategy to unionize 120,000 care-
givers in the state of California and
would be devastating to seniors and
people with disabilities who require
in home care. It is currently in the
signature gathering stage.
There are more than 3,000 home
care agencies that provide private
duty home care in California. Home
care agencies employ trained and
supervised caregivers who help in
homes with services like meal prepa-
ration, bathing, dressing, personal
hygiene and medication reminders.
They employ the home care workers
and provide background checks, train-
ing, support and direct supervision.
Payroll taxes and all liability issues
are handled by the agency, not the
client. The SEIU ballot initiative pro-
poses a mandated economic revenue
model for home care agencies where
75 percent of revenue must be related
to directly providing care and 25 per-
cent for everything else. This ill-con-
ceived initiative does not provide a
realistic picture of all the operating
costs with running a full service
home care agency. It is not nancial-
ly viable and will drive many exist-
ing agencies out of business. The
result will be fewer choices for sen-
iors and much higher costs.
Signicant job losses will occur, and
that will add to the already massive,
unsupervised, non-tax paying seg-
ment of private caregivers operating
in the underground. These under-
ground workers are responsible for a
signicant percentage of elder abuse
due to a complete lack of supervision.
The bottom line: this initiative
does not have the interest of seniors
or people with disabilities in mind. It
will cost California jobs and tax rev-
enue, and will give seniors fewer
choices while simultaneously increas-
ing costs.

Anti-smoking
hysteria has gone too far
Editor,
Regarding the story, County mulls
smoking ban in the March 22 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, when I
attend the Central Park Music Series
during the summer, food vendors cre-
ate a cloud of smoke over the park
where small children and infants are
exposed. When the neighbors in my
apartment building have a barbecue,
my apartment lls up with smoke,
even with the doors and windows
closed. I am a vegetarian, so the
aroma of grilling meat does nothing
for me. Lighter uid and charcoal
fumes are harmful. I have to tolerate
environmental pollution.
Why is it when someone sees me
smoking a cigarette outdoors they
feel the need to call police? The anti-
smoking hysteria has gone way too
far. It is easy to single out a minority
to hate to distract people from real
issues.

Letters to the editor
By Audrey Kearns
D
omesticated animals in our
country need love and sup-
port. These creatures help us
by keeping us healthy and happy
when we own them as pets. They love
us and teach us to be responsible. We
take care of them and they care for us
in return. However, many animals
dont have homes and people to love
them. Also, many children desire to
have pets but are not allowed to. I
believe that more children in the
United States should be able to own
pets.
First of all, having pets teaches
children responsibility. Children
have to feed their pet and exercise it
regularly. They will learn to make sure
the animal is healthy, therefore devel-
oping responsibility, which children
can use both at home and even in
their schoolwork. Also, the child will
work for the pet, and it will give them
pride that they were the person who
helped this animal live. Therefore,
they will always love and treasure this
animal. Since they take care of the
animal, the animal will always be
grateful to them and love them back.
Equally important, having pets
keeps children healthy. Some people
say that a lot of children in the United
States are obese. If more children
have pets, they will go outside more
often to play with
their pets. In addi-
tion, they have to
walk or run their
dog or other pet
regularly to keep
them calm. Studies
show that having
pets actually
improves peoples
health. Petting an animal can help
children relax, lowering their blood
pressure and reducing the risk of heart
disease. Childrens health will
improve overall, and they will live
longer and happier lives. Similarly,
having animals also improves mental
health. It will give children some-
thing to go to when they are sad and
the animals love will make them feel
much better.
Some concerns adults may have
with children getting pets are that
pets will make their houses messy. An
answer to that concern is that if the
child has a pet, they must be respon-
sible for it and clean up after it as a
part of caring for it. Another concern
is that an animal costs too much. The
answer to that concern is that you
cannot put a price on saving a life.
The money paid for that animal will
be saving that animal. It will also be
going toward the organization selling
the animal, such as the humane socie-
t y, and it can use the money to help
the other animals in its facilities. A
nal concern may be that the parent
might end up having to care for the
animal. The answer to that concern is
that if the child wants a pet, they
must be responsible for their pet.
Having this pet will build up their
responsibility and they will have to
be responsible for their own pet, so
the parent will need to make sure their
child is caring for the pet themselves.
If they wanted the pet, they will need
to stick to their commitment. As you
can see, the benets of having a pet
outweigh the concerns.
More children in the United States
should be able to own pets. Pets will
help develop a childs sense of
responsibility. Pets also keep chil-
dren healthy. I believe that more chil-
dren should be allowed to own pets to
make them and their pets happier and
healthier.

Matthews Episcopal Day School in

T
he news this week is stunning. One more progres-
sive-liberal, Democrat state Sen. Leland Yee is
arrested, this time for bribery, campaign money
laundering and rearms trafcking. His associates are
indicted in murder-for-hire and other criminal acts. All of
this from one of foremost proponents of gun rights
restrictions and campaign nance reform.
What is it about the progressive-liberal ideology that
lends itself to hypocrisy of the highest order?
That hypocrisy is now on full display in San Francisco,
not just with the (alleged) corrupt and criminal Democrat
Yee, but also with many on the Board of Supervisors and
within the progressive political community. While pub-
licly proclaiming their love of personal liberation, polit-
ically they are acting to extend greater and greater control
over the lives of everyday, working San Franciscans.
Their latest scheme is to
institute a soda tax of 2 cents
per ounce on some sugar-sweet-
ened drinks. That amounts to a
price increase of 24 cents per
12-ounce can, $1.44 per six
pack, and almost $3 per 12
pack.
The rationale is that, well,
San Franciscans are too stupid
to be entrusted with decisions
on what to eat or drink, and that
progressives are smarter than
citizens, so they are justied in
punishing them for their bad
behavior by making it more expensive to drink a soda.
This is at heart a moral argument. It is, in their view,
immoral and wrong to drink soda. As morality police,
much like the Islamic Mutaween in Iran or Saudi Arabia,
they work to crack down on perceived immoral behavior.
Yet these are the same progressive-liberals who tout
their delity to liberation and criticize any who, in their
view, dont respect the virtue of tolerance.
Arguing for drug legalization, progressive-liberals
assert that bodies are the property of their human owners
and thus it is up to them to decide what to put into it. But,
apparently, that right doesnt extend to sugary drinks.
Progressive pro-abortion groups like the Womens
Global Network for Reproductive Rights contend that
women have a right to choose what we want to do with
our bodies and that, no one may interfere with our
choices, our bodies and our lives. Thats all well and
good when ending a babys life, but if you want to drink a
soda, forget it.
Not only are the neo-prohibitionists hypocritical, they
are wrong on the facts and policy as well. First, contrary
to the myth they push, calories from sugar-sweetened
drinks are only a small part of the American diet. Just 6
percent of the calories in American diets come from sugar-
sweetened drinks, including sports drinks and teas,
according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Almost
twice as many calories come from cake, cookies and other
desserts. Focusing on sweetened drinks to lower obesity
rates thus makes little sense.
Second, the latest research shows the increased taxes on
sugar-sweetened drinks correlate to less soda intake, but
not to a reduction in the calories that cause obesity. But,
why no reduction in calories when there is a (slight) reduc-
tion in soda consumption? Because consumers substitute
away from soda to higher calorie milk, beer and snack
foods, according to a report published this month in the
Journal of Health Economics.
Finally, the proposed tax is bad policy in that it wont
necessarily affect the target group lower income, work-
ing class San Franciscans. The proposed tax will be col-
lected at the distributor level, not on retail sales. Rather
than attempt the complex paperwork necessary to apply
the tax to specic items in inventory, distributors are
likely to spread the cost across all of their stock as a cost
of doing business. The net result is that while politicians
will extract more money from citizens, soda sales wont
decline by much, if at all. Yet, that is the nanny-state
objective of the tax to begin with.
The progressive-liberal, neo-prohibitionist agenda is
hypocritical to its core. While soda, more likely to be
purchased by low-income workers, is attacked, drinks
such as a Caramel Frappuccinos from Starbucks (36 per-
cent more sugar per 12 ounces), are conveniently exempt
from the proposed tax. Progressive, coffee house elitists
avoiding the tax they want to impose on others? Imagine
that!
Fortunately, San Franciscans will vote on whether to
institute the soda tax. Lets hope they defeat the self-
righteous moralists of the left and bring some common
sense back to the city by the Bay.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEWYORK Apositive report on
U.S. consumer spending helped push
stocks mostly higher Friday for the
rst time in three days.
The gains were modest as investors
continued to cut their holdings in
biotechnology stocks, some of the
best performing names of 2013.
Instead, the stocks that advanced the
most were mostly mature, large com-
panies such as Microsoft, Exxon and
Cisco Systems.
The Dow Jones Industrial average
rose 58.83 points, or 0.4 percent, to
16,323.06. The Standard & Poors 500
index rose 8.58 points, or 0.5 percent,
to 1,857.62. The Nasdaq composite,
which includes a number of large
biotech companies, rose just 4.53
points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,155.76.
The biggest gainer in the Dow was
Microsoft, which rose 94 cents, or 2.4
percent, to $40.30. The company
announced Thursday that it was bring-
ing Microsoft Ofce to the iPad and
would shift its focus away from
Windows, a move that analysts liked.
Satya Nadella made the announcement
in his rst public appearance as the
new leader of Microsoft.
We continue to view (Ofce on the
iPad) as a massive revenue and operat-
ing prot opportunity for Microsoft,
analysts at Credit Suisse said in a
report Thursday.
Microsoft helped lift other large
technology companies, with Cisco
Systems, Intel and Oracle up roughly 1
percent or more.
In contrast to technology, biotech-
nology had another horrible day.
Gilead Sciences, Biogen Idec and
Vertex Pharmaceuticals were all down 4
percent or more.
The higher they rise, the harder they
fall, investors say. Biotechnology
stocks had been among the hottest
sectors in the stock market for the last
two years, with the S&P 500
Biotechnology index rising 74 per-
cent in 2013 and 38 percent in 2012.
That momentum stopped dead in the
month of March. The S&P 500
Biotechnology index is down 12 per-
cent this month alone, erasing all of
the sectors gains in January and
February.
The sell-off in biotech echoes the
pullback investors have seen specula-
tive technology stocks, such as
Twitter, Netflix and Tesla Motors.
Those stocks are down between 14 per-
cent and 20 percent this month alone.
The high-momentum names have
lost all the traction they had in the
past year, said John Fox, director of
research at Fenimore Asset
Management.
Investors were encouraged by news
that Americans increased their spend-
ing last month, a hopeful sign for an
economy that has been slowed by
months of severe winter weather. The
Commerce Department said consumer
spending inched up 0.3 percent, a hair
short of economists forecasts.
Incomes rose at the same pace.
The economy is now reaching the
point where it can shake off the weath-
er-related excuses, Doug Cote, a mar-
ket strategist for ING Investment
Management, wrote in an email.
Investors will now turn their atten-
tion to next weeks economic data,
including the March jobs report due
out Friday. Economists expect the U.S.
economy, thawing from the harsh win-
ter, created 200,000 jobs last month
and the unemployment rate remained
steady at 6.6 percent.
In other markets, the yield on the
10-year Treasury note hovered around
2.72 percent, up from 2.69 percent
Thursday. The price of crude oil edged
up 39 cents, or 0.4 percent, to
$101.67 a barrel.
Stocks edge higher on consumer spending data
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Americans barely
increased their spending in February fol-
lowing a weak January performance, strong
evidence that the severe winter will hold
back the economy in the rst quarter.
Consumer spending rose 0.3 percent in
February following an even weaker 0.2 per-
cent rise in January, the Commerce
Department reported Friday. The January
performance was cut in half from an initial
estimate of 0.4 percent.
For February, spending on autos and
other durable goods actually fell and much
of the small gain reected higher utility
payments to pay heating costs.
Analysts said consumer spending, which
accounts for 70 percent of economic activ-
i t y, has slowed significantly in the
January-March quarter and will hold back
overall economic growth. But they are
looking for a rebound in the spring as the
weather improves.
Based on the weak February performance
and the downward revision to January,
economists at Barclays said they were trim-
ming their forecast for overall economic
growth in the rst quarter to a 2 percent
rate, down from a previous estimate of 2.4
percent.
Analysts believe a second quarter
rebound will be driven by pent-up demand
for the purchase of items such as cars that
were put off during the winter storms.
We expect consumer spending to be sig-
nicantly stronger in the second quarter,
said Chris G. Christopher, director of con-
sumer economics at Global Insight. Auto
sales are expected to heat up in March and
for the remainder of the year.
The report showed that after-tax income
was up 0.3 percent in February, the same as
in January.
The saving rate edged up slightly to 4.3
percent of after-tax income compared to
January, when the saving rate was 4.2 per-
cent.
The report showed that inflation
remains very low. An inflation gauge tied
to consumer spending was up just 0.9 per-
cent in February compared to a year ago,
significantly below the 2 percent target
set by the Federal Reserve.
The Fed last week approved another
reduction in its monthly bond buying,
which the central bank is doing to lower
long-term interest rates and boost econom-
ic growth. But some economists are con-
cerned that if the Fed removes its support
too quickly, it could undermine efforts to
get prices rising closer to the target.
Economists expect that spending will
rebound in the April-June period, helping
to boost overall economic growth to its
strongest pace in nearly a decade.
Many analysts foresee the economy
growing 3 percent for the year, after a weak
rst quarter. It would be the most robust
annual expansion since 2005, two years
before the Great Recession began.
U.S. consumer spending up modest 0.3 percent
Another year, another
$1 for Google co-founders
SAN FRANCISCO Google paid co-
founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin their
customary $1 salaries last year while
Executive Chairman Eric Schmidts com-
pensation more than doubled to $19.3 mil-
lion.
Most of Schmidts raise stemmed from
stock grants valued at $11.4 million.
Google issued them to make up for an
administrative error in the handling of
another large award given to Schmidt in
February 2011, according to regulatory doc-
uments led Friday.
If not for the mix-up, Schmidts pay pack-
age last year would have risen 4 percent
from the $7.6 million that he got in 2012.
Page, Googles CEO, and Brin, another
top executive, have insisted on capping
their salaries at $1 annually since Google
Inc. went public nearly a decade ago. Its a
symbolic gesture that many other Silicon
Valley executives have made after amassing
fortunes through the stock that they held in
their respective companies.
Page, 41, and Brin, 40, each own Google
stock currently worth about $26 billion.
Schmidt, 58, has accumulated wealth esti-
mated at $9 billion by Forbes magazine. He
also limited his salary to $1 annually while
he was CEO.
Business brief
DETROIT The U.S. governments auto
safety watchdog has closed an investigation
into Tesla electric car battery res after the
company said it would install more shields
beneath the cars.
The shields, an aluminum bar, a titanium
plate and another piece of aluminum, will
supplement a quarter-inch-thick aluminum
plate now on the Model S, the only model
that Tesla now sells. Theyre designed to
stop road debris from penetrating the cars
battery pack.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration began investigating the
Model S last year after two battery res that
were caused by road debris. In each case, one
near Nashville, Tennessee, and another near
Seattle, debris punctured the aluminum
shield and the battery, touching off res.
Drivers were able to safely pull off the road
and escape without injury, but the cars were
destroyed.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a statement
Friday that the company will retrot Model
S cars sold in the U.S. with the new shields,
at no cost to owners. At the end of February,
Tesla had sold about 22,000 of the cars in
the U.S., according to Autodata Corp. The
additional shields will be provided upon
owner request or as part of normally sched-
uled service, the statement said.
The move is not a recall, a Tesla spokes-
woman said.
Earlier, Tesla issued a software update that
raised the Model S ride height to help deal
with the issue.
Feds close investigation of Tesla fires

DETROIT General Motors is boosting
by 971,000 the number of small cars being
recalled worldwide for a defective ignition
switch, saying cars from the model years
2008-2011 may have gotten the part as a
replacement.
The latest move brings the total number
of cars affected to 2.6 million. The question-
able handling of the problem, including
GMs admission that it knew the switches
were possibly defective as early as 2001,
has embarrassed the nations largest
automaker. The recalls which are under
investigation by Congress and federal regu-
lators have overshadowed the improved
quality of GMs newer cars.
The episode has also consumed the time
and efforts of GMs new CEO, Mary Barra, in
her rst few months on the job. Barra has
apologized publicly for the deaths linked to
the switch defect and ordered what she prom-
ises will be an unvarnished internal
investigation of the matter.
GM previously announced the recall of
1.6 million cars, only through the 2007
model year, which were built with the faulty
switch. The recall involves six cars: the
Chevrolet Cobalt, Chevrolet HHR, Pontiac
G5, Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Ion and Saturn
Sky.

SAN FRANCISCO Giants pitcher Tim
Lincecum escaped what appeared to be a
serious injury with only a bruised left knee
in his nal spring start.
Now, he hopes he wont miss his rst out-
ing of the regular season, scheduled for
Thursday at Arizona.
The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner
left Friday nights 4-1 loss to the Oakland
Athletics after going down writhing in pain
when he was hit on the inside of his knee by
a grounder from Daric Barton in the fourth
inning.
Lincecum tried to run toward first but
immediately fell to the ground, unable to
put any pressure on his leg, but said later it
was dead leg from the initial force and
pain of the ball hitting him. He limped off
the eld with the assistance of two trainers.
X-rays were negative.
Thats always a relief, Lincecum said.
Were just going to keep treating it until it
gets better. Well see how it feels tomorrow.
Usually its that second day it kind of hurts
the most, but right now it feels pretty good.
... Not too worried. I knew it hit me in a
good spot. It didnt hit me in the front of the
kneecap. I just wanted to walk it off.
Oakland starter Jesse Chavez didnt allow
a hit until Angel Pagans one-out double in
the sixth and was backed by John Jasos
solo homer.
Sam Fuld added a bases-loaded triple off
Dan Runzler in the sixth.
Chavez dazzled in his fth start of the
spring and is showing manager Bob Melvin
he can be a reliable replacement in an
injury-plagued rotation.
Chavez is now among the starters as
Jarrod Parker recovers from season-ending
Tommy John surgery and A.J. Grifn nurses
his own elbow injury that will sideline him
early in the year.
Chavez allowed only the one hit over 5 1-
3 innings, struck out ve and walked one

Colts senior Gerardo Castro won two distance events Thursday at El Caminos rst track meet
in over 20 years. Thanks to the efforts of athletic director Eric Jacobson, El Camino is enjoying
a refurbished state-of-the-art facility which includes a new football eld and synthetic track.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
El Camino students would be hard-pressed
to find a better inspiration than Eric
Jacobson.
From having his name etched on the
Blanket Award as El Caminos male athlete
of the year in 1988 to starting his coaching
career for the Colts just two years later,
Jacobson has spent half his life investing
in a legacy as both a player and a coach.
Now in his second tenure as athletic direc-
tor, Jacobson has brought one of his most
ambitious undertakings to light in helping
El Camino secure a modern football and
track complex. As part of the 2010 bond
Measure J which allocated $4.3 million for
facilities repurposing in the South San
Francisco Unified School District, El
Camino and South City are among the last
two high schools in San Mateo County to
undergo retrotting of their main elds with
state-of-the-art synthetic football turf and
mesh track surfaces.
As a result, for the rst time in over 20
years, El Camino hosted a track meet
Thursday, welcoming Oceana, Jefferson and
Woodside to compete in the historic event.
While South Citys Clifford Field is cur-
rently under renovations and scheduled for
completion at the beginning of the 2014-15
school year, El Camino opened its new foot-
ball facilities last November in hosting its
annual rivalry game with South City.
A lot of these kids growing up in the
South San Francisco district have never had
a real track, said Pat Holmes, El Camino
track and field head coach. From grade
school to middle school to high school, all
theyve ever known is dirt. So this was very
exciting for them.
For Jacobson, reinventing El Caminos
athletic facilities has been quite the labor of
love while enduring a litany of health
issues. After serving as athletic director for
almost a decade, Jacobson had to step down
in 2008 after a long battle with
El Camino off and running

STANFORD When Ryan Garko played
at Stanford, he hung on every word Barry
Bonds offered about hitting as the eventual
home run king trained and took his swings
on campus alongside the college kids and a
few other pros.
Now it is Garko sharing some of those
very tips, and also his own, with the
Cardinal players. The former major leaguer
is back at his alma mater as a rst-year
assistant under longtime Stanford baseball
coach Mark Marquess.
Garko hopes to stick around for the long
haul.
I do offer a pretty unique perspective for
our current players, he said. I just spent
10 years with the best people in the world,
coaches, players, front-office personnel.
While I was playing, I envisioned I would
stay in the game.
There are some big differences these days.
He has daily equipment duties, such as
preparing the eld at Sunken Diamond and
pulling out protective screens and other
gear well before any players have made their
way outside to practice.
Hes loving every minute of it.
For years, Garko would call Marquess and
former associate coach Dean Stotz inquiring
about a future position. Last year, Stotz
decided to retire after 37 years and made one
of his rst calls to Garko.
He and his wife, Christie, didnt need
much convincing to make the move. They
have a 1 1/2-year-old daughter, Olivia, and a
baby boy on the way.
I always kept in touch and asked them
about it and theyd kind of laugh, Garko
recalled. It was just one of those things it
was a perfect time for our family, Coach
Stotz was ready and theres nobody I respect
more or want to work for more than Coach
Marquess. To be back at Stanford at this

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The National Football League said Friday
that the date of 50th anniversary Super
Bowl at the planned Levis Stadium in Santa
Clara is Feb. 7, 2016, Santa Clara city of-
cials said.
Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthews hailed
the announcement of the exact date of the
Super Bowl L championship game, which
the leagues owners awarded to the citys
$1.2 billion stadium project last May 21.
Santa Clara is proud to host the Super
Bowls golden anniversary game in the
Golden State, Matthews said in a statement.
Around the world, all
eyes will be focused on
our city and the Bay Area
on Feb. 7, 2016, so we
are excited to showcase
our regions beauty, cul-
ture and innovative spir-
it, Matthews said.
Last year, Matthews
said it is estimated that a
Super Bowl brings
between $300 million and
$500 million in economic benets to the
surrounding region.
Levis Stadium, still under construction,
is to open Aug. 2 and serve as the new home
eld this fall for the San Francisco 49ers,
which ended its last season at Candlestick
Park in San Francisco last December.
Steve Van Dorn, president and chief exec-
utive ofcer of the Santa Clara Chamber of
Commerce and Convention and Visitors
Bureau, said in the statement that the city is
looking forward to game day and having a
global spotlight on Santa Clara and our
beautiful new stadium.
We expect our Santa Clara business-
es, including hotels, restaurants, and
shops to be overflowing Super Bowl
week, Van Dorn said.
According to the city, there also will be a
weeklong series of public events and cele-
brations leading up to the Super Bowl in
San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area.
The Super Bowl is the most-watched tele-
vision program each year in the United
States, with an average audience of more
than 100 million viewers.
The games logistics and events for the
Super Bowl are being planned by the San
Francisco Bay Area Super Bowl Host
Committee, which includes public ofcials
from the Bay area and the NFL, according to
the city.
Niners resign Perrish Cox
The San Francisco 49ers have re-signed cor-
nerback Perrish Cox to a one-year contract.
The team announced the deal Friday. In a
whirlwind two months last season, the
three-year veteran went from San
Francisco, to playing for Seattle and back
to the 49ers then participating in all but
one defensive snap in a 23-20 wild-card
playoff win at Green Bay in January.
The 27-year-old Cox appeared in nine
regular-season games and all three postsea-
son contests for the 49ers, and two games
for the Seahawks. He had ve total tackles
between the NFC West rivals.
Denvers fth-round draft pick in 2010,
Cox started nine games as a rookie with 14
passes defensed but late that season was
arrested and charged with sexual assault. He
was found not guilty in a Colorado court on
March 2, 2012.
Raiders sign Jones-Drew
Free agent running back Maurice Jones-
Drew is coming back home to Oakland after
signing a three-year contract with the
Raiders on Friday.
Jones-Drew returns to his native Bay
Area after spending his rst eight seasons
with Jacksonville and starring in college at
UCLA.
Jones-Drew joins quarterback Matt
Schaub, defensive linemen Justin Tuck and
LaMarr Woodley and receiver James Jones
as successful veterans brought in by gener-
al manager Reggie McKenzie this offsea-
son who are looking for a late career spark
in Oakland.
Theres a ton of talent here, Jones-
Drew said. Reggie McKenzie and his staff
have done a great job of piling on guys that
are coming from programs that are winning
and know what it takes. Granted, most of us
have chips on our shoulders, at least I feel
like I got (done) wrong. ... Its something
thats going to drive us and push us to that
next level.
The Raiders also signed two defensive
linemen, bringing back Pat Sims to a one-
year deal and signing former Green Bay
Packer C.J. Wilson.
Sims played well in his rst season in
Oakland with two sacks and 41 tackles
while starting all 16 games. He met with
other teams before staying in Oakland,
according to his agent Rick Smith.

seriously hurt, he said.
Awitness followed the Culliver, 25, who
also drove into the car of the witness,
Morales said, and that vehicle blocked the
suspects car until police arrived and arrest-
ed Culliver.
After searching the suspects car, the
authorities found illegal
brass knuckles and
booked him into Santa
Clara County Jail for
felony hit and run, felony
reckless driving with
injury, felony possession
of brass knuckles, misde-
meanor hit and run and
misdemeanor driving on a
suspended license.
Morales said he didnt
know the name of Cullivers attorney.
The 49ers organization is aware of the
recent matter involving Chris Culliver,
San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent
Baalke said. We will remain in contact
with Chris and the local authorities as we
continue to gather the facts regarding this
situation. As this is an ongoing legal mat-
ter, we will reserve further comment at this
time.
In 2013, Culliver caused controversy by
expressing anti-gay sentiments in the lead-
up to the Super Bowl.
During Super Bowl media day at the
Superdome in New Orleans that year,
Culliver responded to questions from come-
dian Artie Lange by saying he wouldnt wel-
come a gay player in the locker room. He
also said the 49ers didnt have any homo-
sexual players and, if they did, those play-
ers should leave. He later apologized, facing
a large group of Super Bowl media members
for nearly an hour.
Culliver underwent sensitivity training as
well and began doing outreach work with The
Trevor Project, an organization that provides
crisis and suicide intervention to lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender youth.
I truly appreciate the staff at the Trevor
Project for allowing me to grow and educat-
ing me on the issues affecting the LGBTQ
community, Culliver later said in a state-
ment to The Associated Press. I have learned
so much and made some really great friends. I
will continue my commitment to the organi-
zation and to their youths and stand rm with
hope that one day that all individuals regard-
less of sex, race, or creed will be treated with
dignity and respect from all.
Culliver, a third-round draft pick in 2011
out of South Carolina, made 47 tackles with
two interceptions and a forced fumble during
the 2012 season while starting six games
for the Niners. They lost in the Super Bowl
that season to Baltimore.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a rare muscle
disorder that led to his right leg being ampu-
tated in 2010.
It was the end of a long and painful strug-
gle. According to Jacobson, the amputation
was a blessing.
I have no pain, Jacobson said. I went
from being in constant pain to having my
foot amputated and having no pain.
It was during that same year the money for
the long-needed facilities overhaul was
passed on the November ballot. So, a year
later, Jacobson was reinstated as a co-ath-
letic director along with Jeff Cosico to see
the project through.
I needed something to do and this was my
thing, Jacobson said. I was going to get it
done or I was going to die trying. So Im
very proud.
Thursday, El Camino christened its new
track in style by winning the boys varsity,
boys frosh-soph and girls frosh-soph por-
tions of the track and field meet, with
Woodside placing second and Jefferson

girls varsity with Jefferson placing second
and El Camino placing third.
El Caminos girls frosh-soph 4x100,
anchored by sophomore Janeya Ware, won
the rst event of the day in 48.47 seconds.
The Colts varsity boys scored 71 points
to pace the biggest win of the day, placing
over second-place Woodside (50 points) and
third-place Westmoor (28 points). El
Camino senior Gerardo Castro paced the
squad with two early distance wins, taking
the 1,600-meter in 4:24 and the 800-meter
in 1:56.
El Camino junior Andres Abaraca captured
rst in the 110-meter hurdles in 16.9 sec-
onds. Colts senior Brandon Gip won the
nal boys varsity event of the day with a
10:49 nish in the 3,200-meter.
According to Holmes, more than 100 peo-
ple athletes and fans combined were
present for the track meet. The remodel is
complete with new bleachers with the eld
wired for lights that Jacobson hopes will be
installed after a future bond measure nances
them.
We used to have like 12 people and now
the stands are full and teachers are up there,
Jacobson said. We never had teachers up

point in our lives when were starting a new
chapter, were so thankful, so humbled.
Garko fondly remembers observing
Bonds, and hopes he can have a similar
impact on the young men playing for him
now. Marquess had coached Bonds on the
U.S. baseball team.
Thinking about this is incredible. Wed
be practicing, running in the mornings and
it would be Terrell Owens, Eddie George and
Barry Bonds up on the turf eld working out,
doing ladder drills, and sometimes Gary
Shefeld, Garko said. Theyd hit in the
cages and wed watch it, this is when
(Bonds) was hitting 70. Hed talk about his
top hand, the stuff he talked about was so
simple but it had such big impact. I took it
with me the whole rest of my career.
A third-round pick by the Indians in
2003, Garko played parts of six seasons
with Cleveland, the San Francisco Giants
and Texas, then a stint in South Korea.
Along the way, he paid close attention to
each one of his hitting coaches, and to this
day Garko tells his players he would rather
them take 50 quality swings in the cage
than spend all day in there.
Garko also credits his own former hitting
coach with the Indians, Derek Shelton, now
with Tampa Bay.
So far Ive already learned a ton about
hitting just from him. The level of experi-
ence that he has, hes got so much to help us
with. I look forward to keep learning,
Stanford inelder Danny Diekroeger said of
Garko. Hes great to have.
The 33-year-old Garko, a former rst base-
man, was a career .275 hitter with 55 home
runs and 250 RBIs. Garko was with the
Colorado Rockies to start spring training in
2013 before getting hurt.
I was ready, my body told me it was time
to be nished my knees, my back, my
arm, I was cheating to hit pitches I used to
be able to turn on like nothing, he said. I
got hurt at spring training and the Rockies
scouting director called me in. It was a very
easy conversation, there wasnt a spot, I
knew I was ready. When I went home, my
wife and I celebrated more we were so thank-
ful for the career I had.
Then Stanford called him. Garko was ready to
put down some roots for his growing family.
Ryan is a great addition, Marquess said.
Hes done a great job. Its tough to replace
Coach Stotz, were pleased to have him.

NEWYORK Dustin Hogue had the kind
of game every New York kid dreams of.
The only thing missing at Madison
Square Garden was a comeback victory for
Iowa State.
The Cyclones, without injured star
Georges Niang, lost 81-76 to seventh-seed-
ed UConn in the Sweet Sixteen on Friday.
Hogue scored a career-high 34 points, near-
ly leading third-seeded Iowa State all the
way back after they trailed by 16 with less
than 7 1/2 minutes left.
The Cyclones (28-8) were playing their
second game without Niang, their third-
leading scorer, who broke his foot in their
tournament opener. There was still plenty to
celebrate this season: a Big 12 tournament
title, the programs first Sweet Sixteen
berth since 2000.
Thats who these guys are, theyre ght-
ers, coach Fred Hoiberg said. Great chem-
istry all season long, and to lose a guy like
Georges Niang and still go out and beat a
North Carolina and have an opportunity
after being down 17 tells you everything
you need to know about this group of guys.
Big 12 player of the year Melvin Ejim was
3 of 13 for seven points, more than 11
below his average. Iowa State still managed
to rally to within 67-63 with 2 1/2 minutes
remaining.
But UConn senior Niels Giffey hit a 3 in
the corner for his rst points since the
games opening moments, and when the
Huskies (29-8) made their free throws in the
final minute, the UConn fans packing
Madison Square Garden could celebrate.
Ejim and DeAndre Kane, Iowa States top
scorers, were a combined 9 of 31. Hogue,
from nearby Yonkers, found plenty of
space, shooting 15 for 19.
To play in the Garden, its something I
dreamed about as a kid, he said.
With UConn clinging to a 70-65 lead and
less than a minute left, Iowa States Naz
Long missed a 3-pointer, and 6-foot-1
Shabazz Napier pulled down the rebound and
was fouled by Hogue. The guard calmly
drilled both free throws.
UConn was 20 of 22 from the foul line,
while Iowa State was 6 of 15.
DeAndre Daniels scored 19 of his 27
points in the second half to lead UConn.
Daniels hit his rst six shots after halftime,
the only Husky to make a eld goal for over
8 1/2 minutes. His 3-pointer gave the
Huskies a 49-32 lead.
DeAndres a scorer, and once you feel
that you have that confidence, the next
shots going to go in, Napier said. We
kept feeding him, and he got super hot.
Napier, the American Athletic Conference
player of the year, drained four early 3-
pointers, then made only one more eld
goal the rest of the way. But the quick start
by Napier and backcourt mate Ryan
Boatright opened up space for the 6-foot-9
Daniels, an inconsistent junior who can
score all over the court when hes on.
Iowa State shot just 31 percent in the rst
half, missing some good looks but also
standing around too much on offense.
Unfortunately in the game of basketball
you have nights where that basket looks
that big, Hoiberg said, holding his hands
far apart, and sometimes it looks like a lit-
tle thimble. And unfortunately a few of our
guys had that type of night tonight.

INDIANAPOLIS Tennessees Jarnell
Stokes was dismayed. Jordan McRae was
dejected. Cuonzo Martin was terse.
It was an emotional conclusion for the
Volunteers.
After adding one more improbable chapter
to their remarkable postseason story,
Stokes was called for a charge with 6 sec-
onds left and McRaes desperation heave
from 70 feet hit nothing but air as Michigan
survived for a 73-71 win Friday in the rst
Midwest Regional seminal.
Obviously we got the ball where we
wanted, Martin said as tears owed inside
the locker room. Just didnt get the result.
The Volunteers (24-13) couldnt believe
it, either.
They fought back from a 15-point decit
in the nal 11 minutes by allowing just one
basket over the nal 3 minutes, 40 seconds,
forcing four turnovers in the nal 97 sec-
onds and somehow even had a chance to win
it when Caris LeVert stepped on the baseline
as he caught an inbound pass with 9.6 sec-
onds to go.
Martin called timeout to draw up a play to
win it, getting the ball to Stokes.
As Stokes started to make his backdown
move toward the basket, he lowered his
shoulder and Michigan forward Jordan
Morgan crashed to the oor, drawing the
call that saved the game for Michigan and
infuriated the Rocky Top contingent in
Indianapolis.
No, I dont think I fouled him, Stokes
said after nishing with 11 points and six
rebounds. But it was a smart play for him
(Morgan) to try to take the charge. He pret-
ty much anticipated it.
McRae had 24 points and Josh
Richardson added 19.
Morgan, who scored 15 points, simply
followed his coachs advice and stood his
ground to get the last turnover of the game.
Big Ten player of the year Nik Stauskas
then made a late free throw and a relieved
Beilein watched as McRaes heave fell
harmlessly to the oor as the buzzer sound-
ed.
We got just enough stops, Beilein said.
The Wolverines (28-8) have won 10 of
their last 11, none as tenuous or excruciat-
ing as this one to set up a Sunday showdown
against either-seeded Kentucky, the 2012
national champion, or fourth-seeded
Louisville, who beat Michigan in last
years national championship game. The
Wildcats and Cardinals met in Friday nights
second game.
Yet it almost didnt happen.
With 10:55 to go, Spike Albrechts
layup gave Michigan a seemingly insur-
mountable 60-45 lead.
When Stauskas made the last of his three
3-pointers with 3:40 to go, the Wolverines
still led 70-60. Stauskas nished with 14
points.
For some reason, Michigan went into
panic mode and, just two weeks after nearly
blowing two big leads in the Big Ten tourna-
ment, they nearly threw this one away.
But when the Wolverines needed to make a
defensive play they listened to Beilein who
implored them to buckle down and take the
charge.
For most of the night, Michigan relied on
its shooting stars to stay in control against
a defense that had allowed just 54.0 points
in its previous eight games.
The Wolverines took a 13-point lead in
the rst half and still led 45-34 at halftime
because they were shooting 61.5 percent
from the eld and made 7 of 9 on 3-pointers.
Michigan didnt slow down early in the sec-
ond half, either, taking the biggest lead of
the game at 60-45.
But somehow Tennessee played itself
right back into the game.
The 11th-seeeded Vols, who had a rst-
round game in overtime at Dayton, Ohio,
just to start their surprising postseason run,
cut the decit to 62-56 with 6:45 left. They
got within 72-67 when McRae completed a
three-point play with 1:56 to go. They
made it 72-69 when Josh Richardson scored
the last of his 19 points on a layup with
24.6 seconds left. McRaes layup following
another Michigan turnover made it 72-71
with 10.8 seconds remaining.
Martin then made the call to give Stokes a chance
to win it with a basket or draw the foul.
We got the ball to Jarnell. Jordan set a
screen for him to get him right to isolate
him, attack him in the middle, Martin
explained. Obviously we got the ball
where we wanted.
However, the call went against them.
We heard all week about they had mis-
matches and how we couldnt guard them
inside, Morgan said after letting out a
scream at the end. Were not really soft
around here. Thats not who we are.
Tennessee falls short 73-71 to Michigan
Michigan State beats Virginia 61-59
NEW YORK Branden Dawson had 24
points and 10 rebounds and Michigan State
beat top-seeded Virginia 61-59 on Friday
night to advance to East Regional nal.
The fourth-seeded Spartans (29-8) will
play Connecticut (29-8) on Sunday with a
Final Four berth at stake. The seventh-seed-
ed Huskies beat third-seeded Iowa State 81-
76 on Friday.
Michigan State overcame a horrible start
to the second half and
then withstood a late run
by the Cavaliers (30-7)
to advance to the region-
al nals for the eighth
time since 1985 all
under coach Tom Izzo.
Joe Harris and Malcolm
Brogden both had 17
points for Virginia,
which became the second
No. 1 seed to be eliminat-
ed, joining Wichita State.
These were the rst NCAA tournament
games played at Madison Square Garden
since 1961.
Kentucky tops Louisville 74-69
INDIANAPOLIS Aaron Harrison made a
3-pointer with 39 seconds left to give
Kentucky the go-ahead points Friday night
in a 74-69 victory in the Midwest Regional
over in-state rival Louisville.
Harrison, Julius Randle and Dakari
Johnson, all nished with 15 points for the
eighth-seeded Wildcats (27-10), who will
play Michigan in Sundays regional nal.
F o u r t h - s e e d e d
Louisville (31-6) got 23
points from senior Russ
Smith, who missed a late
3 with a chance to tie.
The Wildcats, who
start five freshmen, led
for a grand total of 65
seconds and took the
lead for the last time
when Randle found
Harrison in the corner
and Harrison spotted up and swished the
shot for a 70-68 lead.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. Kyle Busch has
seen it time and again at Martinsville
Speedway.
Driving down pit road, heading back
onto the track and in contention for the
lead, Busch is used to seeing the pole-sitter
gun the engine just off the jack and reas-
sume the race lead.
Busch hopes to finally get to experience
that for himself at Martinsville Speedway
on Sunday after earning the pole on
NASCARs smallest, tightest track for the
first time in 19 career starts.
I think thats a great thing for us,
Busch said after winning the pole with a
lap at 99.674 mph. We get to pit there and
of course drop the jack and just lunge
across the line and be good.
You need to still run up front all day. I
think that its a great opportunity for us to
pick up some spots say if were second,
third, fourth, whatever, but you definitely
always want to stay as close to the front as
you can and try not to use that box as much
as some guys have in the past.
The pole is the 14th of Buschs career.
In an interesting twist under NASCARs
new knockout qualifying system, Busch
won it while Joey Logano set a track record.
That came at 100.201 mph during the rst
phase of two-session qualifying. All 44 cars
competed in the 30-minute rst session, and
the top 12 moved into the 10-minute phase
two.
Denny Hamlin earned the No. 2 starting
spot with a lap at 99.548 mph, and will be
followed on the starting grid by Logano
and Hendrick Motorsports teammates
Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon. That
puts Busch in some pretty accomplished
company because Hamlin (4), Johnson and
Gordon (8 each) have won a lot.
Busch, though, is coming off a victory
last week at Auto Club Speedway in
Fontana, Calif., and while he said it wasnt
dominating, it gave him hope that the Joe
Gibbs Racing teams are coming together.
It just seems to be working well right
now, whatever is working, he said.
Hamlin, who promised earlier in the day
that he would win on Sunday, wasnt in
love with the outside starting spot because
it can be tricky to get down to the bottom
on restarts from the outside, said nothing
that happened in practice or qualifying
made his change his view of how it can all
unfold.
Kyle Busch wins pole at Martinsville Speedway
By Jeff Berlinicke
LAKELAND, Fla. This is one number
put up by Miguel Cabrera that is not subject
to debate.
The Triple Crown winner agreed Friday to
the richest contract in American sports, a
$292 million, 10-year deal with the
Detroit Tigers.
I want to nish my career here. I have
worked hard to get better, and Detroit is like
a house for me, Cabrera said.
Cabrera has won the last two AL MVP
awards, both times beating out Angels phe-
nom Mike Trout in votes that set off heated
disputes in the baseball world.
Those in Cabreras corner claimed his
fearsome hitting stats and triple-digit RBIs
were worthy. Those touting Trout argued he
was a better all-around player and pointed to
the value of his WAR, sabermetric for wins
above replacement.
Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski
and manager Brad Ausmus stood by Cabrera,
anking him for the announcement at the
Tigers spring training complex.
Hes on track to be one of the greatest play-
ers in the history of base-
ball, Dombrowski said.
Hes done a lot for the
team and a lot for Detroit.
Cabrera was due $44
million over the nal two
years of his $152.3 mil-
lion, eight-year contract.
The new agreement incor-
porates that money and
adds $248 million guaran-
teed over the following eight years, including
an option buyout.
Cabrera turns 31 next month and has
helped the Tigers win three straight AL
Central championships. A slugger with
power to all elds and still very much in his
prime, he is among seven players to hit at
least .320 with 365 homers and 1,260
RBIs, joining Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Ted
Williams, Lou Gehrig, Albert Pujols and
Stan Musial, according to STATS.
Good for him, Tampa Bay manager Joe
Maddon said before Cabrera went 1 for 3 in
an exhibition against the Rays. He plays
in another stratosphere.
The deal came shortly before opening day
in Detroit, on Monday against Kansas City
at Comerica Park, and soon after Cy Young
Award winner Max Scherzer turned down the
teams long-term contract proposal.
The Tigers are again among the favorites
to go far this season. Cabrera won a World
Series ring with the Marlins as a 20-year-
old rookie and is trying to bring a title to
Motown for the rst time in three decades.
Cabrera will make $43,195 per plate
appearance under the deal, based on his
yearly average of 676 plate appearances dur-
ing six seasons with the Tigers. Thats
higher than the average U.S. yearly wage of
$42,498 in 2012, according to the Social
Security Administration.
His new salaries are $28 million apiece in
2016 and 17, $30 million in each of the
following four years and $32 million annu-
ally in 2022 and 23. The contract also
includes $30 million options for 2024 and
2025 that would become guaranteed if
Cabrera nishes among the top 10 in MVP
voting in the previous season. If Cabrera
doesnt nish in the top 10 in 23, the fol-
lowing year becomes a $30 million team
option with an $8 million buyout.
Cabreras new deal will raise his career
MLB earnings to $413.8 million, including
the $1.8 million signing bonus he got as a
16-year-old with Florida in 1999 when
Dombrowski oversaw the move by the
Marlins. Cabrera was acquired by Detroit in
a December 2007 trade.
An eight-time All-Star, Cabrera has a .321
career average with 365 homers and 1,260
RBIs. He played 148 games last year despite
a sore back and left hip exor, a strained
lower abdomen, shin trouble and a groin
tear that hampered him in the postseason
and led to offseason surgery.
His body might get more of a break this
season. Hes moving across the diamond,
shifting from third base back to his previ-
ous position at rst base after Prince Fielder
was traded to Texas.
Cabrera takes over baseballs highest-
paying contract from Alex Rodriguez, who
agreed to a $252 million, 10-year deal with
Texas that started in 2001, was traded to the
Yankees after three seasons and then signed
a $275 million, 10-year deal with New York
in December 2006.
Cabreras average of $29.2 million is sec-
ond only to the $30,714,286 that Los
Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw
averages under the $215 million, seven-
year deal he agreed to in January.

SPRING TRAINING GLANCE
2.22 ERA.
When Lincecum limped off, it
appeared he might be seriously
hurt.
Lincecum, who signed a $35
million, two-year contract in late
October to stay with San
Francisco, allowed three hits and
one run in four innings. He struck
out four and walked three.
Athletics: Reliever Ryan Cook
is set to pitch in a minor league
game in Arizona on Saturday to
test his injured shoulder. He will
begin the season on the disabled
list, but could be back sometime
late next week when the As host
Seattle.
Theres a chance we could see
him as soon as the latter part of
the Seattle series, but each and
every time he goes out there were
going to monitor him and make
sure we feel like everythings
going well for him, hes healthy,
the velocitys there, the com-
mands there, Melvin said. We
dont want to bring him back too
early, but hes certainly an integral
part of our bullpen. Wed like to
have him back as soon as we can.
Grifn is yet to begin strength-
ening his elbow and is still just
giving it rest.
Giants: Aside from Lincecums
scare, outelder Juan Perez was hit
in the chest and collarbone area by
a stray ball thrown early in
pregame warmups. But all was OK.
Second baseman Marco Scutaro
elded grounders and hit during a
workout in Scottsdale, Ariz., as
part of his rehab from a back
injury that has required several
injections this spring.
After the As won both games
Thursday and Friday at AT&T Park,
the teams will play their final
exhibition in the Bay Bridge
Series at the Oakland Coliseum on
Saturday weather permitting.
There could be more rest than
baseball, and both sides were
already taking the forecast into
account.
One example: Giants manager
Bruce Bochy allowed for the use of
the designated hitter despite the
game being in an NL ballpark.
Hector Sanchez was the Giants
DH, as he has been during inter-
league play in the past.
By Friday afternoon, Bochy had
spoken to all but one of his play-
ers about the nal roster.
For Oakland, Melvin said out-
elder Michael Taylor hasnt been
told one way or another whether he
will make the club but Taylor is
out of options so Oakland will
likely do its best to nd a team for
him via trade.
Nick Punto returned to the As
lineup after missing Thursdays
game with a tender hamstring. He
played second base and shortstop.
Punto doubled, scored a run and
drew a walk.

KABUL, Afghanistan Taliban mili-
tants attacked an American charity and a
nearby day care center Friday, sending for-
eigners including women and children
eeing while Afghan security forces battled
the gunmen. An Afghan girl, a driver and all
ve attackers were killed.
The assault is the latest aimed at foreign-
ers in the Afghan capital, Kabul, and sug-
gests the Taliban are shifting tactics to
focus on civilian targets that arent as heav-
ily protected as military and government
installations as part of an overall surge in
violence ahead of April 5 elections.
It also appeared aimed at sending a mes-
sage to the U.S. and its allies as the Obama
administration presses the Afghan govern-
ment to sign a security agreement that
would allow thousands of international
troops to stay after the NATO-mandated
combat mission ends in December.
The attack began in a way typical of the
Taliban, which claimed responsibility in a
statement. A suicide car bomber detonated
his explosives in front of the four-story
building housing workers with the
California-based Roots of Peace, then four
gunmen rushed into the compound.
Roots of Peace said the organizations
guards pursued the attackers into the house
and killed two of them, while four foreign
aid workers two Americans, a South
African and a Malaysian took cover
inside. Two of the foreigners went to the
roof while the other two hunkered down in
their rooms, said the groups president,
Gary Kuhn.
One man survived by hiding in the closet
with clothes pulled over himself, even after
a grenade was thrown in his room, Kuhn
said from his office in San Rafael,
California.
Members of the Afghan National Police
rapid reaction force, wearing helmets and
bulletproof vests, cordoned off the area.
Kuhn said an adjacent childrens day care
center used mostly by foreigners also was
hit, although it was unclear if it was actual-
ly targeted.
About two dozen foreigners, including
women and children, were evacuated from
the day care center, which is not connected
with Roots of Peace.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid
said insurgents attacked a guest house of
foreigners and a church of foreigners and
vowed in a statement that we will keep on
killing foreigners.
Kuhn said he didnt have more details
about the neighboring building, which is
separated by a wall. His wife, Heidi Kuhn,
said it was a day care center that does have
Christian religious services. Kuhn had
planned to travel to Kabul next week with
his son.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia The United
States is considering allowing shipments of
portable air defense systems to Syrian
rebels, a U.S. official said Friday, as
President Barack Obama sought to reassure
Saudi Arabias king that the U.S. is not tak-
ing too soft a stance in Syria and other
Mideast conicts.
The president and King Abdullah met for
more than two hours at the aging monarchs
desert oasis outside the capital city of
Riyadh. Obama advisers said the two leaders
spoke frankly about their differences on key
issues, with the president assuring the king
that he remains committed to the Gulf
regions security.
Saudi officials have grown particularly
concerned about what they see as Obamas
tepid response to the Syrian civil war and
have pressed the U.S. to allow them to play
a direct role in sending the rebels the air
defense systems commonly known as man-
pads. While administration ofcials have
previously ruled out that option, a senior
ofcial said it was being considered, in part
because the U.S. has been able to develop
deeper relationships with the Syrian oppo-
sition over the past year.
The ofcial said no nal decision had been
made and the president might ultimately
decide against the proposal. One of Obamas
top concerns continues to be whether the
weaponry would fall into the wrong hands,
according to the official, who was not
authorized to discuss internal deliberations
by name and commented only on condition
of anonymity. The ofcial cast the approach
as less of a sudden change in position and
more an indication of how the U.S. has
viewed the issue for some time.
A second senior ofcial said there had
been no change in the U.S. position on
manpads, but did not specically rule out the
notion that the option was under considera-
tion.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Worried about
Moscows intentions, President Barack
Obama urged Russian President Vladimir
Putin to pull his troops back from the border
with Ukraine during an hourlong phone call
Friday. The Russian leader, who initiated the
call, asserted that Ukraines government is
allowing extremists to intimidate civilians
with impunity.
The White House and the Kremlin offered
starkly different summaries of the call,
which occurred while Obama was traveling
in Saudi Arabia. The contrasting interpreta-
tions underscored the chasm between how
Moscow and Washington perceive the esca-
lating international standoff sparked by
Russias annexation of Crimea away from
Ukraine.
White House ofcials described the call as
frank and direct and said Obama had urged
Putin to offer a written response to a diplo-
matic resolution to the Ukraine crisis that
the U.S. has presented. Obama told the
Russian leader that Ukraines government is
pursuing de-escalation despite Russias
incursion into Crimea, urging Putin to sup-
port that effort. He urged Moscow to scale
back its troop build-up on the border with
Ukraine, which has prompted concerns in
Kiev and Washington about a possible
Russian invasion in east-
ern Ukraine.
The Kremlin, on the
other hand, said Putin had
drawn Obamas attention
to a rampage of extrem-
ists in Ukraine and sug-
gested possible steps by
the international commu-
nity to help stabilize the
situation in Ukraine.
In a statement, the Kremlin said Putin also
pointed at an effective blockade of
Moldovas separatist region of Trans-
Dniester, where Russia has troops. Russia
and the local authorities have complained of
Ukraines recent moves to limit travel
across the border of the region on Ukraines
southern border. There were fears in Ukraine
that Russia could use its forces in Trans-
Dniester to invade.
Both nations said Secretary of State John
Kerry planned to meet with Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov to discuss further
steps. That meeting could come as soon as
Tuesday or Wednesday, when Kerry is sched-
uled to be in Brussels for a meeting of NATO
foreign ministers.
Obama, in a CBS News interview aired
Friday but recorded before the call, said
Russia is amassing troops along the
Ukrainian border under the guise of mili-
tary exercises.
U.S. House to vote next
week on aid to Ukraine
WASHINGTON Aid to cash-strapped
Ukraine and sanctions on Russia remain on
track in the U.S. Congress, but it will take a
few days longer before the legislation gets
to President Barack Obama.
House leaders decided to vote Tuesday on
the package, putting off an expected Friday
vote. Congressional aides said the decision
by the International Monetary Fund on
Thursday to release billions of dollars to
Ukraine lessened the urgency to act.
The delay ensures that House members
will have a chance to go on record with a
roll-call vote in backing the Senate version
of the bill.
If signed into law, the bill would provide
$1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine and
further sanction Russia for its annexation of
Crimea.
We must target those guilty of aggres-
sion against Ukraine and stand by our allies
and friends to ensure peace and security in
Europe, said Rep. Ed Royce, a Republican
and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee.
Obama was wrapping up a three-country
European trip during which he solicited sup-
port of allies in challenging Russias moves
in Ukraine.

I
know I am not alone when I
say that it is often a struggle
to stay awake during class,
not because there is uninteresting
content being presented (hey, my
teachers might read this column),
but because of a lack of sleep the
night before, and every other
night.
According to
the National
Sleep
Foundation,
teenagers need
about 8.5 to
9.5 hours of
sleep each
night to func-
tion best, but only 15 percent of
teens reported sleeping the sug-
gested amount. What is keeping
the rest of us up?
I am now completely familiar
with the saying, I cant keep my
eyes open. By this point, high
school students have experienced
sitting in a classroom, doing our
very best to stay attentive but
losing the ght with our droopy
eyelids as they slowly close and
cause our head to drop, until we
snap out of it, look up and fall
into this doze again. As I said
before, not because we are bored
by the material, but because we
were up so late the previous night
that it is prohibiting us from
actively participating in the class
discussion.
Every night, I have an internal
battle with myself: keep working,
or go to sleep? I have a few
friends who refuse to stay up past
10:30 p.m., which sounds ideal
thats at least eight hours of sleep
if they wake up at 6:30 a.m. for
school. But, I wonder, what if
they dont nish their homework?
Do they wake up earlier to nish?
Because that takes time away from
sleeping too.
Either way, something has to
give if we stay up super late to
check Facebook or do homework,
we will be exhausted the next day;
but if we go to bed at a reasonable
hour and wake up well rested, we

Nymphomaniac, which is being
released in two volumes, is a
sexual odyssey that could be
described as thoughtful, provoca-
tive, ridiculous, comically
deranged, electrically composed,
occasionally beautiful, unforget-
table and terrible.
Its all of the above: a cinematic
orgy from one of the movies most
talented and most brazenly taste-
less lmmakers.
Nymphomaniac, which is
playing in theaters and on video-
on-demand, arrives with a sneer-
ing punk aura, notorious for its
copious amounts of graphic sex
an art-house blast of pornogra-
phy. The sex and more will surely
turn off many, but there is nothing
titillating about
Nymphomaniac.
It is clinical and passionless
about its sex, but rollickingly
comic and inventive about the
telling of its tale. And its dis-
tinctly a told tale, a story recount-
ed in chapters by our nympho pro-
tagonist Joe (Charlotte
Gainsbourg), whos discovered
curled up in a bruised heap in an
alley by the monkish, bookish
Seligman (Stellan Skarsgard).
With an academic curiosity, he
takes her in and happily listens to
Joes life story, from age 2 on,
through the lens of her insatiable
sex addiction.
A very pleasurable and humor-
ous story, is what he calls it
and I imagine thats what von Trier
thinks of his film, too. The
movies real aphrodisiac is story-
telling. Joe forms a chapter head-
ing from something in the room (a
painting, a book) where she sits
in bed, sipping tea.
After each section, Seligman
makes his observations, many of
which lead to pseudo-intellectual
conversation about the nature of
sexuality, roping in highfalutin
things like Bachs fugues and
Fibonacci numbers. He doesnt
judge, disputing her when she says
shes immoral and just a bad
human being. He argues that she
prowling a train for men as a
teenager is as natural as a y
sherman reading the river for
sh. If you have wings, why not
y? he says.
At one point, he references the
classic bawdy stories of The
Canterbury Tales and Boccaccios
The Decameron. Thats the line-
age Nymphomaniac aims for: a
playfully told mix of sex, grief
and comedy, updated for a more
graphic medium. In this way, the
film isnt anything particularly

heartfelt biographical drama,
Cesar Chavez, chronicles the
ve-year struggle of the United
Farm Workers co-founder in the
1960s to get California grape
growers to the negotiating table
to hammer out fair wages and bet-
ter conditions for exploited eld
laborers. Its a stirring story of a
real-life ght for social justice,
and clearly a passion project for
the Mexican actor-turned-director.
But while the lms old-fashioned
virtues and the integrity of its sub-
ject matter give it some traction,
pedestrian handling, a lumpy
script and some signicant mis-
casting mean it only occasionally
summons the dramatic power to
match the events it depicts.
Chavezs later life, in particular
his widely publicized 1988 hunger
strike to protest the use of cancer-
causing pesticides on grape crops,
is the subject of the feature docu-
mentary Cesars Last Fast. This
poorly organized screenplay by
Keir Pearson (Hotel Rwanda)
and Timothy J. Sexton (a co-writer
of Alfonso Cuarons remarkable
Children of Men) concentrates
on his earlier years.
Having gained experience in
labor issues with the Latino civil
rights group Community Service
Organization, Cesar (Michael
Pena) returns in 1962 to Central
California, where he had worked in
the elds from age 11 after his
family lost their Arizona ranch in
the Depression. Together with
Dolores Huerta (Rosario Dawson)
he founds what is to become the
UFW, first joining Filipino-
American farm workers in their
strike against the Delano grape
growers, and then leading a his-
toric march to Sacramento for the

may fall behind in other areas. Sleep
affects all aspects of life, including our
health, relationships, athletic performance
and our ability to learn and stay focused.
What is causing this sleep deprivation
dilemma? As teenagers, are we getting too
much homework? Are we overcommitted
(sports, social outings, music or dance les-
sons)? Are we wasting too much time with
other distractions (texting, social media,
watching TV)?
According to my detailed research with
my parents, entailing a discussion over
dinner that started with the telltale phrase,
Well, when we were kids, the causes
might be slightly different, but the prob-
lem is generally the same. So, the chal-
lenge remains what to do and how to solve
this balancing act between pillow time and
modern living.
Perhaps the answer to this problem is as
simple as the question itself: how to bal-
ance. Except the key is not the how but
the balance. There may be some nights
when you do need to stay up later than what
is advised, but that should be the excep-
tion, not the rule. Go back to the days
when you had a bedtime and stick to it; cre-
ate a study schedule, setting aside a certain
amount of time to work on each subject;
virtually unplug yourself from social
media outlets and dont allow yourself to
check them until your other tasks have
been completed. Working on reducing dis-
tractions to what is important and neces-
sary is also a good idea for us as we move
in to adulthood.
Having said that, I understand that the
battle for Zs will continue in to college
(and perhaps beyond), which is both com-
forting and disturbing but dont lose any
sleep over it!

sensational at all.
As Joe tells it, she (played by the lithe,
blank model Stacy Martin as a young
woman) offered up her virginity at 15 to an
Englishman named Jerome (Shia LaBeouf,
with a terrible British accent), who prompt-
ly and efciently takes it before returning to
xing his motorcycle.
She begins sleeping with countless men,
cycling through as many as 10 a night. (Von
Trier kindly supplies us with a series of
close-ups of their genitalia.) She gathers
with other girls to combat the love-xated
society and chant mea maxima vulva.
She takes no apparent pleasure from the
sex. For me, nymphomania was callous-
ness, she says. She remains unemotional
even after a man, radically mistaking her
signals, leaves his wife and children for her,
only to be trailed to Joes apartment by his
scorned wife (Uma Thurman) and her three
boys. Thurman tours the boys around the
apartment to show them what their father
has left them for. Thurman is exceptional in
the hysterically grotesque scene.
Theres a vignette of Joes father, too,
played by Christian Slater as a kind man
walking through the woods with Joe, con-
templating the souls of the trees. Jerome
continues to drift in and out of Joes life,
and they eventually marry and have a son.
But love has no calming effect on her lust,
and she begins (in the second volume) visit-
ing a cold, controlling S&M pro (Jamie
Bell, as far away from Billy Elliot as
humanly possible). There are other
escapades, too (including a humorous one
with African brothers), but its this chapter
that sets the tone of pain and self-hatred of
Volume II. Naturally, this is also where
Willem Dafoe comes in.
Von Trier, whose Antichrist juxtaposed,
in gorgeous black-and-white, the passion-
ate lovemaking of parents while their son
fatally falls from a snowy window, is drawn
to the intersection of eroticism and tragedy.
Hes on a wild streak, having followed
Antichrist with the beautifully depressive
apocalypse of Melancholia.
In Nymphomaniac, von Trier a show-
man and a show-off restlessly splits the
image, overlays numbers on the screen and
makes self-conscious winks. Joe responds
to one of Seligmans interjections: This
was one of your weakest digressions.
Nymphomaniac is his testament to the
strongest force in humanity, as sex is
called in the lm. Von Trier, like Joe, surely
wants to drain lovemaking of its sentimen-
tality. Hes made a mad movie thats some-
thing like sleeping with a fascinating,
insufferable crazy person. Aone-night stand
with Nymphomaniac is plenty.
Nymphomaniac: Volume I and II, a
Magnolia Pictures release, is unrated by the
Motion Picture Association of America. It
contains NC-17 levels of sex and nudity.
Running time: Volume I is 117 minutes;
Volume II is 123 minutes. Three stars out of
four.

Rosario Dawson wants a Dolores Huerta movie
By Sigal Ratner-Arias
NEW YORK Playing renowned
civil rights activist Dolores Huerta in
the new biopic Cesar Chavez doesnt
seem to be enough for Rosario
Dawson. The actress, who knows and
has worked with Huerta, would now
like to bring her friends life to the
screen.
I hope with the success of this lm
that theres an opportunity to tell her
story, cause shes still writing it,
shes still out there on the front lines
doing the stuff, Dawson said in a
recent interview.
After appearing in Chavez, which
opens Friday, Dawson said she was
very much encouraged to produce a
story about Huerta. I did so much
research about her and it was just
impossible a lot of the stuff that we
lmed didnt even make it into the
cut, she said.
Starring Michael Pena in the title
role and America Ferrera as his wife,
Helen, Cesar Chavez follows the
Chicano activist as he builds the
United Farm Workers union and even-
tually forces growers to sign contracts
to better the working conditions of
mostly Latino eld laborers.
Whats really remarkable about this
movie is that it really shows how
women, specially his wife, were such a
big part of (Chavezs) life and how
broad the community was of people
that made this movement possible,
Dawson said. He was a very sort of
reluctant hero, he wasnt the best ora-
tor, speaker, speechwriter or any of
these different things, but his message
was really clear he was speaking for
himself, for his family and for the
greater community.
Huerta is just the opposite, Dawson
said: She is very forthright, she is
very in your face, she would have no
problem jumping into this meeting
(saying) Ive never had any experi-
ence writing a contract before but Im
going in.
I think they really balance each
other out and I think having women be
such a huge part of the movement is
what helped it to stay non-violent and
I just really credit (director Diego
Luna) for making a lm that really
shows how many people were part of it
and specially those women.
Dawson rst met Huerta a few years
ago when they collaborated about the
organization Voto Latino, which was
co-founded by the actress to promote
the Latino vote in the United States.
Since then, theyve kept in touch.
Dawson has also worked with the
Dolores Huerta Foundation.
When Luna met Dawson to offer her
the role, the actress wanted to know
exactly what his intentions were. I
knew her and I loved her, so I was
(like), Why are you doing this lm?
she said, laughing. Then Huerta gave
the casting her blessing and the deal
was done.
Dawson said the hardest part about
playing Huerta was portraying some-
one who is still alive but also who she
knows and admires deeply.

MAMMA MIA! HAVE THE TIME OF
YOUR LIFE! It seems that there are only
two kinds of people in the world: those
who have seen Mamma Mia! (an estimated
54 million since it opened in 1999) and
those who are going to see it. If you are in
the latter group, the shows run at San
Franciscos Orpheum Theatre gives you
the chance to move into the former cate-
gory. Have the time of your life at this

eve of her wedding, a daughters quest to
discover the identity of her father brings
three men from her mothers past back to
the island they last visited 20 years ago.
The line-up of ABBAs greatest hits
includes Dancing Queen, Money,

WHY DID HE STOP PAINTING?
BAUER SEEKS THE ANSWER AT
SAN FRANCISCO PLAYHOUSE.
Abstract painter Rudolph Bauer was so
driven to create that he sketched on scraps
of paper in a Nazi prison, yet eventually
stopped painting. The Guggenheim
Museum, originally built to house Bauers
works, opened in 1959 without a single
Bauer painting exhibited. What happened?
Playwright Lauren Gunderson posits one
explanation in Bauer, an 85-minute con-
versation between the artist, his wife and
his former lover. Actor Ronald Guttman,
who portrays Bauer, is known for his film
work in The Hunt for Red October and tele-
vision roles in The Good Wife and Mad
Men. 85 minutes without intermission.

same cause. They also instigate a boycott
of table grapes that attracts national atten-
tion, receiving political support from
Robert F. Kennedy.
In much the same way Chavez sent
activists out to tell real stories of injustice
that would put a human face on their strug-
gle, the screenwriters attempt to get a per-
sonal handle on their subject. Together
with his feisty wife, Helen (America
Ferrera), Cesar gets out in the elds to gath-
er information and muster support. In the
face of unyielding resistance from the grow-
ers, victimization from police and unrest
from within the burgeoning workers move-
ment, Cesars focus is entirely on the ght ,
to the exclusion of his large family.
This is a considerably more ambitious
undertaking than Lunas 2010 directing
debut, the family drama Abel, but he lacks
the command to bring much sweep or
momentum to the account. He gets no help
from a choppy screenplay that lurches
through intimate scenes, agitated meetings
and violent clashes with the same by-the-
numbers approach, never solidifying the
narrative arc or pausing long enough for
character development.
This is a problem especially with Cesar,
and Pena fails to make much of an impres-
sion in the saintly role. While the actor has
shown that he can work well in the right
part (the ill-fated cop in End of Watch, or
the fake Arab investor in American
Hustle, for instance), he remains a stolid
presence here. He spouts sound bites rather
than creating a shaded portrait of someone
we have to assume was a deeply impas-
sioned and by most accounts spiritual man.
He simply doesnt come across as a suf-
ciently charismatic or persuasive leader to
galvanize vast numbers of frightened work-
ers to demand their rights.
Dawson has nothing to play beyond
standing around looking concerned and
combative. Only Ferrera comes close to
sketching a real character as self-possessed
Helen, who is supportive of her husbands
endeavors but also forthright about her
own views on how the struggle should pro-
ceed.
Theres not a lot of subtlety on the bad-
guy side. Michael Cudlitz seems a poor t
for the racist Delano sheriff, while John
Malkovich (whos also a producer) sleep-
walks through the movie as the snakiest of
the grape growers, who wants to dictate
terms rather than negotiate.
Technically, the lm is solid if unremark-
able and somewhat underpopulated, though
it integrates archive footage and photo-
graphic material to good effect.
Cesar Chavez, a Lionsgate release, is
rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for some violence
and language. Running time: 101 minutes.
CHAVEZ
By Sandy Cohen
DELANO In Californias fertile
Central Valley, immigrant workers pick
produce sold worldwide. Theyre mostly
Spanish speakers who work long hours in
the dirt and sun not your typical crowd
for a Hollywood movie premiere.
But this week, they were the guests of
honor at a special screening of Cesar
Chavez, the new biopic opening Friday.
More than 1,000 farm workers sat in fold-
ing chairs outside the union hall where
the first contracts were signed in 1970
between those who owned the fields and
those who worked them. An inflatable
movie screen stood upfront. The spirit of
Cesar Chavez was everywhere.
Directed by Mexicos Diego Luna,
Cesar Chavez follows the late civil
rights leader from his first efforts to
organize farm workers in 1962 to that
historic 1970 signing. Before the con-
tract, laborers worked the fields for pen-
nies an hour and without breaks, bath-
rooms or shade. The union Chavez found-
ed with fellow activist Dolores Huerta
became the United Farm Workers, which
continues to seek better wages and work-
ing conditions for field laborers two
decades after Chavezs death in 1993.
On Tuesday, Chartered buses brought
screening guests from six Central
California counties to The Forty Acres in
Delano, Calif., the unions original head-
quarters, now a National Historic
Landmark. Some were veterans of the
strikes and boycotts Chavez led in the
1960s; others struggle today to organize
under conditions not unlike those he
fought against. Many held red flags and
wore T-shirts with the United Farm
Workers logo and famous motto, Si se
puede!
This film is about you. Its about the
people who feed this country, Luna told
the crowd in Spanish. It celebrates all
those who today continue fighting.
The Lionsgate release stars Michael
Peqa as Chavez, America Ferrera as his
wife, Helen, and Rosario Dawson as
Huerta. John Malkovich, also a producer
of the film, plays a villain grape grower.
The Cesar Chavez Foundation, United
Farm Workers and the studio sponsored
the outdoor screening, which also includ-
ed a barbecue dinner for all 1,200 guests.
The special premiere, dubbed in Spanish
for the occasion, concluded a pre-release
promotional tour that stopped at the
White House last week for a screening
with President Obama, who adopted the
unions motto translated, Yes, we can!
for his 2008 presidential campaign.
For Paul F. Chavez, one of Cesar
Chavezs eight children and head of his
namesake foundation, the screening for
farm workers was the most significant of
al l .
It was good to hear the Presidents
comments ... about the inspiration hes
taken from my fathers life. Then we were
in Hollywood with a red carpet event, and
thats fun with all the movie stars. But
this is really meaningful, Paul Chavez
said. To come back where the work
began, where so much history happened,
then to be with people that work on a
daily basis to put food on our table, its
heartwarming.
The Forty Acres is about two miles from
where Cesar Chavez began his movement:
The house where he lived with his family,
the Filipino Hall where he announced his
first fast, Delano High School where the
farmworkers got support from Sen.
Robert Kennedy, and the intersection
where police tried to stop Chavez and 75
other strikers on their 250-mile march to
Sacramento in 1966.
Josefina Flores, who lives in the foun-
dations senior housing complex nearby,
was there that day. At 84, shes still
involved with the union and hopes the
biopic will educate and inspire.
When they see how we suffered during
that time, people can understand, she
said in Spanish. And with the strikes and
boycotts, theyll see how they ought to
organize as well to continue the pursuit of
better (treatment)... Its about respect and
dignity for us and our children.
Growers still intimidate immigrant farm
workers, threatening to withhold pay if
they dont work faster, said 29-year-old
Guadalupe Martinez, who works on a
grape farm where the fight for contract
representation has continued for more
than a year. The gathering of workers and
union members at the screening gave her
hope.
Here you can see the legacy Chavez left
us, she said in Spanish. You can see
theres strength among us farm workers.
Unfortunately, they werent able to see
the end of the film that night. A sudden
rainstorm swept through the drought-
parched region, quenching thirsty crops
but ending the outdoor screening early.
Boasting more than 50,000 members at
its height in the 1970s, UFW represents
about 4,500 workers today. Meanwhile, the
nonprot Cesar Chavez Foundation builds
and manages affordable housing for farm
workers and seniors, provides educational
services for young people and runs a nine-
station Spanish-language radio network.
Paul Chavez said he hopes the film
reminds farm workers their work is impor-
tant and resonates with others who care
about justice and care about the future.
The fact is my father wasnt 6-foot-2.
He didnt use big, fancy words. He didnt
come from a fancy, rich family. He never
owned a car, never owned a house. He was
a man that looks like a lot of people in
this crowd tonight, he said. If people
can see that a person like Cesar Chavez
was able to make a difference, then our
hope is that theyll take a look at them-
selves and say, Maybe theres a little
Cesar Chavez in me. And if that happens,
then I think the movies been a big suc-
cess.

trict and its employees knew of his
inappropriate acts and comments
toward students dating back a decade.
The district, however, contends
Pedro did not le a claim within six
months of the 2001 molestation,
within six months of Edwards March
2011 arrest or within six months of
her 2011 interview by Belmont police
detectives in connection to his crimi-
nal case.
She had multiple opportunities to
le this claim and at every time chosen
not to. She only came forward after
Edwards pleaded no contest, DeLapp
said.
Pedros legal team said her suit is not
about the molestation per se but the
districts failure to act. Attorney Marc
Lewis said his client always knew
Edwards attack was wrong but she
only recently learned of the districts
role in it.
The district is now essentially
using their own cover-up to deny
responsibility for their failure to pro-
tect Roxanne and other students. Their
distortion of the facts and continued
denial is disappointing, and we are
condent it will not prevail in court,
Lewis said in a prepared statement.
The six-month statute is meant to
protect against overly stale claims
like this one, DeLapp said.
DeLapp said Pedros attorneys are
sidestepping the six-month thresh-
old by arguing she didnt realize
she had been wronged until 2013
after Edwards conviction but that
assertion is wrong.
No one had to tell Ms. Pedro, in
2013, that what Edwards did to her in
2001 was wrongful. She already knew
which is why she complained to the
principal immediately after Edwards
wrongfully touched her, the filed
demurrer stated.
In the last 12 years since Pedros
abuse, DeLapp said witnesses have
moved, retired and died. For instance,
former Ralston Middle School princi-
pal Lawrence Glendenning, who would
have undoubtedly been a key witness
to explain how the school supervised
Edwards, has since died, according to
DeLapp.
Pedros suit, led in late February,
claims that the district knew that
Edwards committed at least eight sepa-
rate incidents of sexual misconduct
involving at least six students while
employed but took afrmative steps
to hide his history such as sealing a
1996 investigation and not contacting
police.
When Pedro was 12 in May 2001,
Edwards reportedly touched her inap-
propriately while she worked on a
book report in his ofce. She told
school authorities and police were
alerted but charges were never led
because of questions over credibility.
In 2010, he groped a students breast
and buttocks, leading to his arrest and
a revisit of Pedros allegations. He
pleaded no contest to two counts of
felony false imprisonment and one
count of misdemeanor child annoyance
in return for nine months jail to settle
both cases.
In July 2013, Edwards, 55, was sen-
tenced to nine months in jail plus sex
offender treatment but not registra-
tion. He was originally charged with
multiple counts of child molestation
but settled the case by pleading no
contest to two counts of felony false
imprisonment and one misdemeanor
count of child annoyance.
In May 2013, Pedro learned from his
probation report in the newest case
about his alleged conduct prior to her
incident and that the district failed to
take action, according to the suit.
The alleged history includes a 1991
investigation for inappropriate sexual
misconduct with a female Ralston stu-
dent; his ring in 1992 from an assis-
tant janitor position at the Peninsula
Jewish Community Center for peeping
under a curtain at a group of teenage
girls undressing in the locker room;
groping and kissing a student he
coached on the Ralston girls basket-
ball team in 1993 under the guise of
discussing her grades; and sexually
harassing multiple female students
between 1992 and 1996. The suit also
claims school ofcials did not act on a
fellow custodians 2005 discovery of a
condom beneath Edwards desk.
But DeLapp said the district is only
aware of the 1996 complaint and took
reasonable steps after to keep
Edwards from being alone with stu-
dents.
Its a total 20/20 hindsight projec-
tion that little things add up to a con-
spiracy or negligence that never really
occurred, DeLapp said.
The district said it took the 1996
complaint extremely seriously but
was legally barred from ring or other-
wise disciplining Edwards based only
on rumors or innuendo.

Morales said.
Although Pebbles, Tilly and Merlin
have a lot in common, introducing
wild animals to one another requires a
few months of careful calculations,
Finch-Morales said. They were intro-
duced in pairs. First to each others
scent by swapping blankets, then they
moved on to the look-but-dont-touch
stage courtesy of a chain-link fence
and nally they were all united in the
new habitat, Finch-Morales said.
Most of the animals at CuriOdyssey
are native to California and arrived
because they were unable to be rehabil-
itated back into the wild, Finch-
Morales said. All three raccoons were
found when they were young and after
either being hand-fed or growing up in
a zoo, probably wouldnt have been
able to survive on their own, Finch-
Morales said.
Animals have to adapt. Many have
actually adapted to urban lifestyle and
they didnt have a choice. Animals that
can thrive are those that can interact
with us without conflict, Finch-
Morales said.
Like Merlin, Sierra, an 18-year-old
coyote, is living well into old age.
Theyre given excellent medical care,
food and a nice place to live, but peo-
ple who try to domesticate wildlife end
up depriving nature, Finch-Morales
said.
Thats one of the sad things, when
you take them from the wild youre
depleting the population of prime
genetics, Finch-Morales said.
So CuriOdyssey teaches children to
look but dont touch, Finch-Morales
said.
Anna Ribcuic, a 5-year-old visitor,
was a little shy at rst, but perked up
when she saw CuriOdysseys resident
fox, her grandmother Judy Sleeth said.
Shes just fascinated. She was com-
pletely interested in every single
exhibit, Sleeth said. Children dont
usually get to see animals very close. I
mean how often does a child get to see
an otter?
Instilling an emotional memory in a
child of having a positive encounter
with animals helps them to become
advocates for wildlife in adulthood,
Finch-Morales said.
We hope when people have this
connection with animals they take
[the experience] into adulthood, that
there are other living things on the
planet as opposed to treating [wildlife]
like an outsider coming into our
areas, Finch-Morales said. My
responsibility as a human, that has
more control of the environment, is to
make sure that theres always a space
for them.

The 66-year-old woman arrived at her
Edinburgh Street home in the Aragon
neighborhood around 12:45 p.m. March 17
when she was confronted and attacked by
the man. The man was armed with a handgun
and, after tying the victim up, left to hit
multiple ATMs and returned to the home at
least once, San Mateo police Sgt. Dave
Norris said.
Over the following 24 hours, he accessed
her account through multiple ATMs, includ-
ing one located at the Bank of America on
Third Avenue and El Camino Real, Norris
said.
The man returned to the womans
home and stole items including jewelry
and miscellaneous electronics before
fi nal l y l eavi ng t he house wi t h t he
woman still tied up, Norris said.
The woman was able to break free around
noon Tuesday, March 18, and went to a
neighbor to call police. When police
arrived, he already ed the scene, according
to police.
The woman suffered non-life threatening
injuries and was taken to the hospital where
she was later released, Norris said.
The burglary followed the typical door-
knock burglary pattern seen as a Bay Area-
wide trend. The suspect was able to gain
easy access to the residence due to unlocked
perimeter gates and doors, according to
police.
Munguia was booked into San Mateo
County Jail for robbery, residential burgla-
ry, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnap-
ping (for moving the victim to another
room in the residence), and false imprison-
ment of an elder. San Mateo police detec-
tives are investigating Munguias possible
involvement in other burglaries, according
to police.
ARREST
The Senate leadership said that before
Friday, the chamber had never suspended a
lawmaker in the institutions 164-year his-
tory, but it has taken the more serious step
of expelling lawmakers, the last time in
1905. The Assembly speakers ofce said
that chamber has never suspended or
expelled a lawmaker.
The resolution prevents Democratic Sens.
Ron Calderon and Leland Yee, who face fed-
eral corruption charges, and Democratic
Sen. Rod Wright, who is awaiting sentenc-
ing in a voter fraud case, from exercising
any power of their ofce until the criminal
cases against them have been resolved.
Even so, they will continue receiving their
$95,291 annual salaries.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg of Sacramento acknowledged the
public criticism of the chamber, but he
defended his leadership and the integrity of
the 37 senators who have not run afoul of
the law. Nevertheless, he said he has been
shocked by having 7 percent of the chamber
face felony charges this year, which will be
his last as leader.
One is an anomaly, two is a coincidence.
Three? Thats not what this Senate is
about, Steinberg said to lawmakers before
the vote.
Yee, who had championed gun-control
legislation and bills targeting violent video
games sold to minors, is the latest of the
three senators to be charged. The San
Francisco Democrat was charged in a federal
criminal complaint this week with accept-
ing bribes and coordinating an internation-
al gun-running operation.
Yees attorney, Paul F. DeMeester, issued a
statement immediately after the Senate vote
saying suspension was the right step for
now because it acknowledges the presump-
tion of innocence. Representatives for
Calderon and Wright said they would have
no comment on the suspension vote.
Later Friday, in a statement issued by the
Democratic governors office, Brown
weighed in for the rst time since Yees
arrest.
Given the extraordinary circumstances
of these cases and todays unprecedented
suspensions the best way to restore pub-
lic confidence is for these Senators to
resign, Brown said.
Steinberg noted that the Senate already
has intensive ethics training for its law-
makers and staff.
But there are some things, members, that
you just cant teach, he said. I know of no
ethics class that teaches about the illegality
or the danger of gun-running or other such
sordid activities.
Steinberg also announced an unprecedent-
ed step of cancelling a Senate oor session
in April for a mandatory ethics review, say-
ing it is time for the Senate to take a deep-
er look at our culture.
Senate ofcials will go ofce-by-ofce to
emphasize ethical conduct and to ask
staffers to come forward if they are aware of
any unethical or potentially criminal activ-
ity by lawmakers or Senate staffers.
The lone lawmaker to vote against the
resolution, SR38, was Republican Sen. Joel
Anderson of Alpine. One senator was pres-
ent but did not vote, and nine were absent,
including all three senators who were sus-
pended. One seat is vacant.
Anderson argued that all three should be
expelled outright and said it was wrong that
they should continue receiving their
salaries when facing such serious charges.
If you reward bad behavior, you will get
more of it, Anderson said.
Calderon and Wright previously took
leaves of absence, which also let them keep
their pay. The California Constitution says
lawmakers can lose their pay only if they
are expelled or resign.
The suspensions drop Senate Democrats
below the two-thirds majority they won in
the last election, a supermajority that
allowed them to act in all matters without
needing support from Republicans.
The vote comes just days after federal
authorities arrested Yee as part of a broader
corruption probe centered on San
Franciscos Chinatown district.
Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, R-
Diamond Bar, said he supports a proposed
constitutional amendment, introduced by
Steinberg on Friday, which would allow the
Legislature to withhold members pay if
they are suspended.
Yee was arrested and released on bond
Wednesday following a series of raids in
Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area.
He is accused of accepting more than
$42,000 to provide introductions, inuence
legislation and for introducing an undercov-
er FBI agent to an arms trafcker, according
to an FBI afdavit that says Yee was also
known as Uncle Leland.
Investigators said Yee discussed helping
the agent get weapons, including shoulder-
red missiles, from a Muslim separatist
group in the Philippines to help pay off
campaign debts.
Wright was convicted of voter fraud and
perjury and faces sentencing in May.
Calderon faces federal charges for allegedly
accepting $100,000 in bribes for friends
and family in exchange for pushing certain
bills.
Democratic Sen. Kevin de Leon of Los
Angeles, who is expected to succeed
Steinberg as Senate leader later this year,
defended the chambers reputation and noted
that none of the bills Calderon pushed as a
favor to those who were giving him cash
passed the Senate.
That shows that the legislative system
actually worked, he said.
This is the best legislative institution in
the country, hands down, de Leon said.
And were going to get past it.
The only similar situation faced by the
Legislature in recent memory is the so-
called Shrimpscam investigation in
1985, in which federal agents went under-
cover and posed as representatives of a
phony shrimp-processing company. Five
lawmakers resigned and went to prison for
taking bribes in the FBI sting operation.
The Senate last expelled lawmakers in
1905, when four senators were ousted for
malfeasance involving bribery. Only one
other senator has been expelled. In 1850
during the first legislative session after
California gained statehood, a senator vio-
lated Senate rules by failing to show up for
sessions for more than 10 days, according
to Steinbergs ofce.
The 80-member Assembly has never
expelled a member and considered doing so
only once, ofcials said. That was in 1899,
when an expulsion vote failed against
Howard E. Wright, who represented Alameda
County. Wright had been indicted on
bribery charges but was not convicted.
SENATE
PERTH, Australia Objects spotted
floating in a new search area for debris
from the missing Malaysian jetliner need
to be recovered and inspected before they
can be linked to the plane, Australian offi-
cials said Saturday.
Eight planes were ready to comb the
newly targeted area off the west coast of
Australia after several objects were spot-
ted Friday, including two rectangular items
that were blue and gray, and ships on the
scene will attempt to recover them, the
Australian Maritime Safety Authority said.
The objects cannot be verified or dis-
counted as being from MH370 until they
are relocated and recovered by ships, the
authority said in a statement. It is not
known how much flotsam, such as from
fishing activities, is ordinarily there. At
least one distinctive fishing object has
been identified.
Australias Bureau of Meteorology said a
cold front would bring rain, low clouds and
reduced visibility over the southern part
of the search area, with moderate winds
and swells of up to 2 meters (6 feet).
Conditions will improve Sunday,
although rain, drizzle and low clouds are
still likely.
Newly analyzed satellite data shifted the
search zone on Friday, raising hopes
searchers may be closer to getting physi-
cal evidence that Flight 370 crashed in the
Indian Ocean on March 8 with 239 people
aboard.
Australians say latest objects need to be checked
