Raising awareness about human trafficking

Faith coalition, attorneys, county officials seek to engage public on local impact
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

This weekend marks National

Human Trafficking Awareness Day
and several San Mateo County
organizations are hosting events
to educate the public on an invisible, but prevalent, community
issue.

The majority of people, when

they hear about sex trafficking
they think about it happening in
foreign countries or happening
overseas or happening in the
developing world; yet the issue of
human trafficking and sex trafficking and exploited children is right
here in San Mateo, said the Rev.
Penny
Nixon
of
the

Congregational Church of San

Mateo. Its making the invisible
visible and raising peoples
awareness in terms of making an
impact and asking the right questions, assessing the situation and
finding help or being involved in
preventative measures.
Sunday, the Anti-Trafficking
Faith Leader Coalition of San

Mateo County is hosting a discussion and special screening of In

Plain Sight, a documentary about
sex trafficking. Elizabeth Lee,
San Mateo County Superior Court
judge, will be speaking at the
event thats held in partnership
with the Commission on the

Zebulon Bates, 37, of Kaneohe,

unlikely they were not connected in
some way.
U. S. District Judge J. Michael
Seabright noted that the cooperation
of Bates led to the arrests of two other
people not involved in his case.
I do believe you should receive
considerable credit for that, he said.
Bates played a smaller role than a
co-defendant but said in court that his
involvement showed extremely poor
judgment for someone his age.
You need to be a dad and nothing
else, Seabright said.
Bates apologized in court, saying he
needed the money but should have
known better.
His public defender, Alexander

doesnt know why mannequin heads

the shipping, Silvert said.

Wife sues coroner, county over cremated body

By Michelle Durand

www.smdailyjournal.com

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The wife of a deceased San Mateo police

officer is suing the county and its coroners
office for releasing the body to his parents
who cremated it in violation of what she
said was his wishes.
Jennel Gonzalez said in the suit that
Antonio Loza had told her he wanted to be
buried and after his April 21, 2014, death
from congestive heart failure that was the
intention. However, after speaking with
the Coroners Office several times about
when she could claim the remains,
Gonzalez was told they had been given to
his parents who had already cremated the
body, states the suit filed in San Mateo
County Superior Court against the county,
the Coroners Office and Coroner Robert
Foucrault.
Gonzalez and her son James Miller are
seeking damages for negligence, emotional
distress and interference with the right to
dispose of remains. They maintain
Foucraults office and the county had a duty
to locate them and notify them when the
body could be collected but failed to do so.
Due to the Coroners Office erroneously

believing the couple were divorced and his

parents the legal next of kin, Gonzalez said
in the suit she and Lozas stepson were
denied the ability to bury and properly
grieve Loza or even attend his funeral service because there wasnt one held.
The result has been devastating, the
suit stated.
But County Counsel John Beiers said the
office was working with the information it
had, namely a declaration by Lozas parents
signed under penalty of perjury that they
were the next of kin and statements by both
them and a cousin that he was divorced.
The coroner handled this case in a manner that was legally appropriate and legally
sound, Beiers said.
He plans to file a motion next week to
dismiss the case.
Loza, 39, and Gonzalez knew each other
for more than 12 years and were married for
five. At the time of his death, Loza was living with his parents in Belmont and

Gonzalez was living in Las Vegas, Nevada.

She flew her son there from San Diego to
personally inform him of his stepfathers
passing and he then flew to San Francisco
to await the burial, according to the suit.
Beiers said the couple filed for divorce in
2013 but it was still pending when he died.
Lozas body went to the Coroners Office
to rule out suicide and conduct a toxicology
report.
Beiers said Gonzalez first called the
Coroners Office more than a week after the
death.
About two weeks after the death, when
Gonzalez called the Coroners Office to
check on the report and arrange for the body
collection, she learned of his cremation. An
employee said the office thought Loza was
divorced but double-checked the records and
acknowledge the mistake, the suit stated.
Gonzalez and Miller filed a claim with
San Mateo County which was denied Oct.
21 by the Board of Supervisors. The board
will discuss the lawsuit at its closed session
meeting Tuesday morning.

DA wont charge health workers for civil disobedience

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Thirteen people arrested last month for

refusing to leave a Board of Supervisors
meeting where they protested the wages of
in-home health workers will not be charged,
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said
Thursday.
The decision comes roughly two weeks
after Wagstaffe announced a similar decision
in the cases of five others arrested at the previous meeting in November. Wagstaffe said
in both sets of cases they dont warrant
using taxpayer resources. On Thursday, he
added that the 13 arrested in December spent
five or six hours being processed in the
county jail before being cited out and
released.
Additional punishment is not called for
here, he said.

The arrests were a deliberate move by inhome health workers and their union to draw
attention to their demands for a wage
increase. In both instances, members spoke
during public comment then moved to the
front of board chambers and chanted, refusing to abide by a sheriffs order to disband
and causing the board president to halt the
meeting. In December, the group upped its
efforts with a holiday slant by wearing
Santa hats, antlers and singing refashioned
versions of Christmas jingles.
The roughly 5,000 providers of In-Home
Support Services in San Mateo County care
for the elderly and disabled at home rather
than diverting them to other methods of
help. More than 70 percent of the cases
involve workers providing care to relatives
living with them in their homes.

and currently earn $11.50 per hour. The

county has offered a 10 percent increase
plus existing benefits which the County
Managers Office said would make them
among the highest paid in California. The
union has not accepted, saying even that
increase is too little in expensive San
Mateo County, and is demanding 30 percent
over the next four years.

A SWAT team responded Wednesday night

after a suspect brandished a gun at officers
while fleeing the scene of multiple auto burglaries in San Mateo, police said Thursday.
Walter Mitchell, 22, and Andre
Dupreelafluer, 26, were ultimately taken
into custody on suspicion of auto burglary,
evading police and brandishing a firearm at
officers. Both men are residents of Oakland.
At approximately 7:20 p.m., a witness
reported two men breaking into cars in the
Central Parking Garage at East Fourth and
South Ellsworth avenues. Before responding officers arrived, Mitchell and
Dupreelafluer fled the scene in a silver
Acura, police said.
After locating a vehicle matching that
description on Fourth Avenue, officers initiated a traffic stop but Mitchell, the alleged
driver, accelerated and ultimately lost control of the vehicle. After that, both men fled
on foot, police said.
Dupreelafluer was taken into custody
without incident, but Mitchell ran to a large
apartment complex at the corner of South

Eldorado Street and East Third Avenue.

Mitchell allegedly brandished his weapon at
officers while running away, police said.
After that, officers set up a perimeter
around the complex, shut down traffic on
Third and Fourth avenues and called out the
SWAT team. Multiple officers from
Burlingame, Foster City, Belmont, South
San Francisco and Hillsborough responded
to assist with the perimeter. A plane from the
San Mateo County Sheriffs also assisted in
search of the suspect, according to police.
Mitchell was arrested without incident at
12:38 a.m. after officers spotted him near
scaffolding at the apartment complex. The
handgun was not located, but police said
detectives are searching the area for the
weapon and any other evidence.
Stolen property linked to the auto burglaries was located inside the suspect vehicle,
police said.
During the search, nearby residents were
asked to lock their doors and windows and to
shelter in place. The American Red Cross
and the San Mateo Police Department also
set up a public shelter at the King Center for
approximately 10 to 15 displaced residents.

Burlingame Library celebrates poetry month

Annual event includes class visits, readings and tours
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

An annual tradition, the Burlingame

Public Library will be celebrating poetry
month with plenty of activities.
From Jan. 2-31, students in grades K-5
can bring poems to the library and students
will visit with their classes from the
Burlingame and Hillsborough City elementary school districts.
It is really popular, said Kim Day, teen
and childrens services librarian. Its great
for us because January is usually a pretty
slow time here at the library.
Teachers can bring their classes to the
library during January. Classes that visit
during the month receive a free hardback
book of poetry for their classroom. The two
schools with the highest per capita participation will receive a large stuffed toy horse
for their school library.
Partnering with the schools gets a lot
more kids in here, she said. We do a lot of
class visits, give a tour of the library, hear
some poetry and some of the teachers do
poetry workshops here at the library.

have all these different aged kids come and

read their poems they wrote. Some are heartwarming, a lot of them can be really silly;
they all put effort into it.
National Poetry Month began in the 90s
and is held in the United States and Canada a
little later in the year in April.
The library will also hold an open mic
poetry reading event for families when children may read their original poems to an
audience and share some cookies. The program at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 25 in the Lane
Room at 480 Primrose Road in Burlingame
is free, but one must sign up beforehand.
Register at burlingame.org. The library will
not accept poems from individual children
during class visits.
At the same time, the library is undergoing a $3.5 million renovation that should
wrap up this spring. The project will modify the downtown branchs interior to meet
the needs of modern patrons by providing
flexible space for collaboration, creativity

California making sex
offenders take lie-detector tests
SACRAMENTO For the first time, California will make
paroled sex offenders take periodic lie detector tests as a way
to gauge their behavior patterns and perhaps prevent new
sex crimes.
The move came in response to several high-profile cases
involving parolees who raped and killed.
State officials said this week that the lie detector tests will
help them better gauge which offenders are most dangerous
and in need of increased supervision.
Parolees could be asked about everything from whether
they are attending 12-step addiction programs to whether
they are lingering at playgrounds or having inappropriate
contact with children, officials said.
All sex offender parolees also are required to participate in
specially designed treatment programs. Previously, only
high-risk offenders had to undergo treatment. That has
bumped the states spending on treatment programs from
$8.5 million last year to $18.3 million this fiscal year.
The state also is using more tests, known as risk assessments, designed to gauge each offenders likelihood of committing a new crime. That will help parole agents devote
more resources to those who need it most.
California is not the first state to adopt the new practices,
which were fully implemented last month. At least 18 states
have used a similar policy, experts said. But with about
6,250 sex offenders on parole, officials said California is
by far the largest.

NEWARK, N.J. A former northern New Jersey resident

who authorities say ran a multi-state scheme that provided
fake drivers licenses and other documents to people in the
country illegally has been sentenced to prison.
A federal judge in Newark sentenced Young-Kyu Park to
six years in prison on Thursday.
The 58-year-old former resident of Fort Lee was one of
nearly two dozen people charged in June 2012. Park was living in Los Angeles at the time of his arrest. Suspects were
arrested in New Jersey, New York, California, Nevada,
Virginia and Georgia.
The U.S. attorneys office alleges Park obtained blank
immigration forms that were then filled out with customers
personal information and used to procure drivers licenses
and other forms of identification. The ring also produced
counterfeit documents including passports.
Among those arrested was a contract employee of the U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services who was convicted of
stealing the forms used in the scheme.
At the time of the arrests, the U.S. attorneys office said as
many as 700 transactions involving fraudulent documents
had been identified, most by South Koreans who were in the
United States illegally and who each paid between $3,000
and $4,500 for the service.

DENVER The Olympic rings flying over Fenway Park? Could happen.
U.S. Olympic leaders surprisingly
cast their future with Boston on
Thursday, hoping a compact, collegecentric bid with a touching story to tell
will overshadow the citys well-organized protest group and convince international voters to bring the Summer
Games to America after a 28-year gap.
During a daylong meeting at the
Denver airport, USOC board members
chose Boston, with its promise of frugality, reusable venues and inspiration
after its comeback from the marathon
bombings, over Los Angeles, San
Francisco and Washington.
Todays selection by the USOC is
the beginning of an incredible opportunity for Boston, said the citys bid
chairman, John Fish, who will be part
of a celebratory news conference Friday
with the USOC leadership.
Boston joins Rome as the only other
city that has officially decided to bid.

Donald Charles Lehmkuhl

November 7, 1922 December 15, 2014
Donald Charles Lehmkuhl, 92, died Monday, December 15, 2014, following
a brief illness.
He leaves his wife of 61 years, Mary Lehmkuhl; his daughter, Teresa
(Budesa) Lehmkuhl; son-in-law, Robert Budesa, grandson, Geoffrey Budesa,
and daughter, Joanne Lehmkuhl.
The son of Minnie and Reinhold Lehmkuhl, Don was born on November
7, 1922, and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he spent his early years.
He attended the University of Purdue, and in 1943 joined the United States
Marine Corps through Purdues V-12 Training Program, and served for three
years in the Pacic Theater. In 1948 he returned to Purdue and graduated with
a Bachelor of Physical Education Degree. He went on to obtain his Master of
Arts in Education at Stanford University in 1949. In 1952, he was recalled to
active duty in the United States Marine Corps to serve in the Korean War.
Following Korea, he accepted a position at Santa Cruz High School where
he taught physical education and coached football, baseball and wrestling. In
1953 he joined the San Mateo Union High School District to teach and coach
at Burlingame High School, and then moved to Mills High School upon its
opening in 1958, where he was the Athletic Director of Boys Athletics. While
at Mills, he moved to Student Counseling, earning a Master of Arts in Guidance
and Counseling in 1967 at SF State University. He retired from Mills High in
1984, and went on to open a private Marriage and Family Counseling practice.
Don enjoyed golng, camping, hiking, sailing with his beloved dog Barney,
and spending time with family and friends. He impacted the lives of many in
a positive, meaningful way. He was an active member of Sons of Retirement
(SIRS 118), and enjoyed the friendships he made there.
A private family service will be held. Donations in memory of Donald
Lehmkuhl to St. Judes Childrens Hospital, or a charity of your choice,
are encouraged.

Germany will submit either Hamburg or

Berlin, with France and Hungary
among those also considering bids.
The International Olympic Committee
will award the Games in 2017.
Americas last two attempts to land
the Games resulted in embarrassments
fourth-place finishes for New York
(2012) and Chicago (2016).
The selection of one of the countrys
most history-steeped cities comes as
something of a shock to insiders, who
viewed two-time host Los Angeles as
the safest choice and San Francisco as
the sexiest. But a compact bid highlighted by a frugal spending plan
along with Bostons energetic leadership team led by Fish, the construction
magnate outweighed doubts that surfaced because of the citys organized
protest group and less-than-perfect
history in delivering big projects like
the Big Dig.
Fenway Park and its Green Monster
would be part of the plan. The Boston
Marathon course probably wouldnt:
Too downhill. But chances are there
will be subtle references to the 2013

bombings near the finish line that

killed three people a touching way
to show how a city can pull together.
The city has taught all of us what it
means to be Boston Strong, the White
House said in a statement. The
President and First Lady couldnt be
prouder of this accomplishment and of
all of our nations athletes, and strongly support the effort to bring the 2024
Olympic and Paralympic Games to the
United States.
Seeking to become the first
American host for Summer since
Atlanta in 1996, Boston focused on its
ability to use the more than 100 universities throughout the area to house
events and athletes.
It touted a walkable, technologybased Olympics with an operating
budget under $5 billion (Considered
frugal by Olympic standards). It said as
many as 70 percent of its venues would
not stand permanently, and a new main
stadium might be shrunk to someday
host a soccer team. Colleges might pay
for many of the venues, then take them
over after the Games.

Obituary

Linda C. Jacobs

August 8, 1947 - December 13, 2014

Foster City
Linda Christine Jacobs died tragically shortly before Christmas.
She had lived most of her adult life in San Mateo County and had
been a resident of Foster City for thirty-ve years.
Born in Colorado, Linda had a lifelong affection for the mountains.
She attended East High School in Denver and graduated from
Colorado State University in Ft. Collins. Following her mothers footsteps, Linda became a
ight attendant, pursuing a career that perfectly meshed her great interest in people with a
never-ending love of travel. She ew twenty-eight years for United Air Lines, primarily from
their San Francisco domicile, before retiring in 1998.
Linda met her future husband Roger, a then-Navy pilot, while he was stationed in the Bay
Area for ight training. Their subsequent courtship was a colorful one, with Linda travelling
to Europe at least one dozen times until Roger returned to stateside duty. They married in
1977 at the small chapel at Moffett Field.
Roger eventually left active naval service and also joined the airlines. With both parents
pursuing ying careers, raising a child presented logistical and scheduling challenges not
faced by many. All who have met their beloved daughter Christine will agree their efforts
were entirely successful.
As Christine grew, Linda was a steadfast volunteer at her daughters Foster City and San
Mateo schools, especially their drama departments, creating lifelong friendships along the
way. Following her retirement, Linda devoted even more of her life to area schools, libraries
and charitable organizations. For twenty-ve years until her death, she was a member of
the Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo, a congregation that warmly holds her in loving
memory and fondly recalls her unceasing efforts on their collective behalf.
Linda is the daughter of Walter Gavette and Lois Juvrud Gavette, both deceased, of Grand
Junction and Denver, CO. She is survived by her husband of thirty-seven years, Roger of
Foster City, and her daughter Christine of San Francisco; and also by her brothers Bill
Gavette and wife Lori of Colorado, Jim Gavette of Northern California, and sister-in law
Pamela Gavette of San Mateo.
Her family and friends are invited to honor Lindas life at the Unitarian Universalists of San
Mateo, 300 East Santa Inez, San Mateo, on Saturday, Jan. 10th at 11:00 A.M. Details of the
Hillsborough reception following will be provided there.

New high court look at gay marriage? Now legal in 36 states

By Mark Sherman

How easy it is, indeed how inevitable,

to reach the same conclusion with regard to
state laws denying same-sex couples marital status.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court has

quietly engineered a dramatic increase in the
number of states that allow gay and lesbian
couples to wed. That increase also has raised
the chances the justices soon will settle the
legal debate.
Some justices expressed reluctance about
deciding the issue when more than half the
country prohibited same-sex unions. With
Florida joining in this week, 36 states
allow them, nearly twice as many as just
three months ago.
The growth hasnt come from an outpouring of public support expressed in voting
booths or state legislatures, but from the
high courts surprising refusal last October
to review lower court rulings in favor of
same-sex marriages or to block them from
taking effect.
The justices now face a situation in which
just 14 states prohibit such unions, a num-

Justice Antonin Scalia

ber that may give comfort to a court that

does not like to be too far ahead of the country. Three earlier seminal rulings that outlawed state-backed discrimination in education, on interracial marriage and in criminal prohibitions against gay sex were
issued when a similar number of states still
had the discriminatory laws on their books.
Theres no question that they knew what
they were doing in October. They knew the
implications of what they were doing, said
Roberta Kaplan, the lawyer who represented
New Yorker Edie Windsor in her successful
Supreme Court challenge in 2013 to part of
the federal anti-gay marriage law, the

Defense of Marriage Act.

The Supreme Court again is considering
whether to hear a gay marriage case, and
another factor has raised the likelihood the
justices will do so. In November, the federal court of appeals based in Cincinnati
became the first, and so far only, appellate
court to uphold state bans on same-sex marriage. Plaintiffs from Kentucky, Michigan,
Ohio and Tennessee are asking to court to
reverse that decision.
The justices are meeting in private on
Friday to consider adding new cases to their
late April argument session, and a decision
could be announced soon. Meanwhile, a

panel of federal appellate judges in New

Orleans is hearing arguments Friday on
anti-gay marriage laws in Louisiana,
Mississippi and Texas.
The other states that continue to enforce
same-sex marriage bans are Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri (except in
Kansas City and St. Louis), Nebraska,
North Dakota and South Dakota.
Justice Antonin Scalia forecast what
would happen when he dissented from the
courts decision in the Windsor case in June
2013.
Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his
majority opinion that the decision was not
intended to resolve the question of whether
states could prevent same-sex couples from
marrying. But Scalia predicted that courts
soon would apply Kennedys words to strike
down state bans on gay marriage.
How easy it is, indeed how inevitable, to
reach the same conclusion with regard to
state laws denying same-sex couples marital status, Scalia said.

Police are investigating a sexual battery incident that

occurred Wednesday in South San Francisco.
Police said the victim was loading the trunk of her car in
the 300 block of Oyster Point Boulevard shortly before
1:40 p.m. when a man approached her, rubbed the front of
his body against her from behind and asked if she wanted to
have sex.
The victim was able to get into her vehicle and drive away.
She was not injured, according to police.
Police described the man as about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet
9 inches tall, in his late 40s to mid 50s, with salt and pepper-colored hair and an average build.
Police said the suspect had a square-shaped scar on his
face.
He was last seen wearing a white windbreaker jacket and
was walking two small terrier dogs in the area.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call
the South San Francisco Police Department at (650) 8778900 or a tip line at (650) 952-2244.

The warning came in response to a Dec. 18 burglary in the
1700 block of 19th Avenue in the citys Sunset District,
where three burglars posing as water department employees
got access to a house and stole cash and valuables, SFPUC
spokesman Tyrone Jue said.
Typically, SFPUC workers have no need to enter singlefamily residences and if they do, they will schedule an
appointment in advance. Water meters and mains are accessible from the street and sidewalk, Jue said.
If crews need to notify residents that they intend to shut
off water service temporarily, they will knock on the door
but wont ask to come inside, Jue said.

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer to retire

By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON California
Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, a
tenacious liberal whose election
to the Senate in 1992 heralded a
new era for women at the upper
reaches of political power,
announced Thursday she will not
seek re-election to a new term next
year.
Boxers retirement sets off a
free-for-all among a new generation of California Democrats, who
have had few offices to aspire to
while Boxer and Sen. Dianne
Feinstein had a lock on the states
U.S. Senate seats.
A staunch supporter of abortion
rights, gun control and environmental protections, Boxer has
said she is most proud of the vote
that she cast against the war in
Iraq.
The 74-year-old Boxer made the
announcement in a mock video
news conference with her grandson, Zach Rodham, acting as
reporter. I am never going to

retire. The work is too important.

But I will not be running for the
Senate in 2016, Boxer said.
I want to help our Democratic
candidate for president make history, Boxer tells her grandson, a
reference to a possible bid by
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
She closed with a poem, I
wont be working in my Senate
space and I wont be running in
that next tough race.
Boxer was elected to the House
in 1982 and to the Senate one
decade later. That was an election
that marked a watershed year for
women in politics, with four winning U.S. Senate seats.
Boxer prominently displays in
her office a photograph of her and
six other female House members
marching up the Senate steps to
demand hearings on Anita Hills
allegations of sexual harassment
against Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas before holding
his confirmation vote.
Boxers departure is a generational change as well. Feinstein is
81, and House Democratic leader

Nancy Pelosi is 74.

Pelosi described Boxer, who
stands 4 feet, 11 inches tall, as
small in size but a giant in terms
of contributions to her country.
White House spokesman Josh
Earnest said President Barack
Obama called Boxer to congratulate her.
Shes served the people of
California for more than three
decades with distinction, fighting
for the issues that are close to
their homes and hearts, Obama
said in a statement.
Later at a news conference from
her home in Rancho Mirage,
Calif., she said, she was confident
she could still accomplish much in
her final two years.
I dont believe in lame-duckism. I think Barack Obama is
proving that. Bill Clinton proved
it and Im going to prove it.
Boxer had a way of riling conservatives.
In 2009, she requested that a
brigadier general in the Army
Corps of Engineers call her senator instead of maam.

Let the replacement games begin

SACRAMENTO Let the

replacement games begin for
Californias first open Senate seat
in nearly a quarter century.
Sen. Barbara Boxer announced
Thursday that she will not seek reelection in 2016, unleashing
pent-up ambition in a crowded

backlog of Democrats with limited

chances for higher office.
Likely
candidates
include
California Attorney General
Kamala Harris and Lt. Gov. Gavin
Newsom. The San Francisco
natives offered praise for Boxer
but are staying mum on their own
plans.
Other possible candidates for
Boxers seat include Republican

Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin,

billionaire environmentalist Tom
Steyer and former Los Angeles
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti
is the only high-profile Democrat
to rule out a run Thursday.
Some politicians may decide to
wait until 2018 for the governors
race or a potential second Senate
seat.

The career of Sen. Barbara Boxer

BEFORE THE SENATE
The Brooklyn native was a stockbroker on Wall Street
before moving to California in 1965 with her
husband, Stewart. Boxer soon began organizing
campaigns concerning the most pressing issues of
the day, such as the war in Vietnam. She ended up
working as a congressional aide for Rep. John Burton,
running his Marin County office. She won a board
of supervisors race in 1976 and succeeded Burton in
1982.
SCANDAL
After nearly a decade in Congress, Boxer got caught
up in the House banking scandal in 1992.The loosely
run House bank routinely allowed members to
withdraw more money than was in their account.
She was among the worst offenders with 143
overdrafts, but the political damage did not deter
her from running for the Senate a few months later.
SENATE ELECTION
Boxer was elected to the Senate in an election that
marked a watershed year for women in politics, with
four winning seats. Boxer prominently displays in
her office a photograph of her and six other female
members of the House marching up the steps
leading to the Senate, where they demanded that
senators hold hearings on Anita Hills allegations of
sexual harassment against Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas before holding his confirmation
vote. She won her three subsequent Senate races
by double-digit margins.
ENVIRONMENTAL CHAMPION
A staunch supporter of environmental protections,
Boxer authored legislation that has designated more
than 1 million acres of land in California as
wilderness, a classification that is the highest level
of protection and generally does not allow for motor
vehicles, new roads and mining. She also led efforts

to prevent oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife

Refuge in Alaska.
WAR VOTES
Boxer has said she is most proud of the 2002 vote
that she cast against the war in Iraq. She voted to
support the war in Afghanistan. Boxer also joined
the majority of her Democratic colleagues in voting
against authorizing the use of force in the first Gulf
War.
PARTISAN
On occasion, she found common ground with
Republicans, but mostly infuriated them. After
George W. Bushs re-election in 2004, Boxer
challenged Ohios 20 electoral votes, which delayed
his formal re-election for a few hours. While Boxer
defended the move as a way to raise awareness of
voting problems, Republicans saw it as a partisan
poke in the eye. Former Republican Sen. Robert Dole
once referred to Boxer as the most partisan senator
he had ever known.
ABORTION RIGHTS
She is one of the chambers leading voices for
abortion rights. Boxer authored the Freedom of
Choice Act of 2004 and participated in the floor fight
for passage of the Freedom of Access to Clinic
Entrances Act. Advocacy groups such as Emilys List
and Planned Parenthood dedicated considerable
sums to help her last re-election bid.
NUCLEAR SAFETY
Boxer has been a persistent critic of the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, saying the agency has been
too slow and lax when it comes to ensuring the
safety of Californias last operating nuclear plant,
Diablo Canyon. She also held NRC officials feet to
the fire in the long-running investigation at the nowclosed San Onofre nuclear power plant in Southern
California.

GOP Congress moves

S
veto-bait bills on
health care, pipeline
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In command
and ready for a fight, defiant
Republicans ignored two White
House veto threats and advanced
bills in Congress Thursday curbing President Barack Obamas
cherished health care overhaul and
forcing construction on a proposed oil pipeline. The top House
Democrat predicted her party
would uphold both vetoes.
On the new Congress third day
of work, a Senate committee
approved a measure dismantling
Obamas ability to block the
Keystone XL oil pipeline, which
has become a flashpoint pitting
the GOPs jobs agenda against
Democrats environmental concerns. The Senate planned to begin
debate next week and passage
there seemed likely, while the
House was poised to approve its
version Friday.
Meanwhile, the House approved
legislation narrowing the definition of full-time workers who must
be offered employer-provided
health care from those working 30
hours weekly to a 40-hour minimum. The vote was a mostly partyline 252-172 short of the 290
needed, assuming all members
voted, for the two-thirds majority
required to override a veto.

On both bills, GOP leaders

would face uphill fights mustering
the two-thirds House and Senate
majorities needed to override
vetoes. But both measures had
some support from Democrats, and
Republicans could use them to
portray themselves as championing bipartisan legislation, only
to be thwarted by Obama and his
Democratic allies.
Given the chance to start with a
burst of bipartisan productivity,
the president turned his back on
the American peoples priorities,
House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, told reporters Thursday,
adding, We were taking our oath
of office when they were issuing
veto threats. Come on.
House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., said Democrats
would sustain Obamas vetoes on
both bills and said it was
Republicans who have blocked
progress.
The president has always
extended the hand of friendship.
Some say too much, she told
reporters.
She said Democrats would
uphold a promised Obama veto on
a third measure rolling back some
regulations on the financial industry enacted after the 2008 economic crash. That bill fell short in the
House this week but is expected to
pass on a re-vote next week.

Abandon national college ratings system

Other voices

The Los Angeles Times

he Obama administration has

taken on the admirable but
tricky task of rating colleges
based on real-life factors that might
matter the most to working families.
If theyre going to scrape up the
money for a four-year education, these
families tend to worry foremost about
how much it will cost, whether their
children will graduate and get a job,
and whether the new graduates will be
able to pay off student loans. Less
important to them might be what professors elsewhere think of a college,
or how many applicants it rejects,
factors that weight the rankings produced by various publications, most
notably U.S. News & World Report.
It was obvious from the start,
though, that a government ratings
system would run into complications
that might render it meaningless or
unfair. Unfortunately, a preliminary
sketch of the system, released to
solicit public feedback, does little to

allay those concerns.

The U.S. Education Department is
rightly trying to avoid what one ofcial called "false precision" parsing minor variations among colleges
and universities that make no real difference. But as a result, it is going so
broad that the ratings would be all but
meaningless. It intends to divide
schools into three categories, essentially: excellent, bad and in between.
Most colleges and universities would
fall into the in-between category,
which means that very few would
receive a low rating. In other words,
the only information families would
get is that most schools are ne. That
may be reassuring, but it isnt especially helpful.
And its even unclear how useful the
information would be on schools with
low ratings, which might turn off
applicants for reasons that arent relevant to their situation. Does the
school have a low graduation rate, or

does its focus on ne arts mean that

graduates have trouble nding jobs
soon after college? Would students
intent on a career in the arts care
about the latter, or gure that the less
robust job market in arts is still a better t for them than one in, say,
petroleum engineering?
The Obama administration has
pledged to avoid simplistic comparisons that dont reveal the real value
of a college education. Thats to its
credit, but so far, the ratings appear to
oversimplify complex information
and compare too many apples with
oranges and bananas. Worse, administration ofcials are considering linking federal funding for colleges to
their ratings, which would be a terrible decision. Once a colleges funding
depends on its graduation rate, it can
simply lower its standards to the
point where almost everyone obtains
a degree. The administration has
given this an honest try, but it would
be better off abandoning the project
now than creating a shallow and misleading ratings system.

mated cost of $68 billion. Of course,

since it is a government project, you
have to multiply that number by four
to get the true cost. Keep in mind we
have no way to pay for it, funding is
not in place and there are still huge
legal and environmental hurdles in
the way. Gov. Browns response to
this dilemma is, Dont worry about
it, were going to get it. Spoken like
a lifelong politician.
Only the state public sector can
work this way. Go to the voters and
ask them to pass bonds based on a
bunch of lies. When criticism starts
as to the true costs and details of the
boondoggle become known, immediately rush to start the project so that
it cant be stopped.
How are we going to pay for this
project when we have such large public-employee unfunded liabilities? If
you are Gov. Brown, you just ignore
the criticism, belittle your opponents
and pivot to another multi-billion
dollar project that builds two huge
tunnels moving water from northern
to Southern California. Ignorance is
bliss until it isnt. Help stop highspeed rail now.

letter (Playing the oil card in the

Jan. 7 edition of the Daily Journal).
I appreciate him pointing out that
Obama and his administration are
super competent, and that the government can get things done, such
as controlling the price of oil via
skilled diplomacy. Too bad Roussard
fails to understand that if prices had
remained high, Russia would have
continued to give the world the middle finger.
Roussard does seem to understand
that if the price of oil falls, supply
will drop and demand will increase
to raise the price of oil again. Of
course, the last time we went
through this half of the cycle, when
the Saudis crashed the price of oil in
1981, it took over 20 years and the
downfall of the Soviet empire before
prices recovered and Russia was once
again able to flip off the world.
How do we get off this roller
coaster? Maybe we should move away
from mining technologies to manufacturing technologies: solar and
wind.

The day the ballot

was not delivered

ecause of my job, I tend to pay attention to

election schedules more than most. So as
Election Day approached, and I had yet to
receive my ballot, I thought something may be amiss.
In years past, I had not received my sample ballot but
didnt really miss it since I always download sample ballots early in the election season.
But no ballot?
I contacted San Mateo
County Elections Manager
David Tom, who told me I
was placed on the inactive
list since my ballot was
returned. After assuring him I
did not move and was still, in
fact, a resident of San Mateo
County, he told me I could
still vote on Election Day if I
told the poll workers to look
my name up on that list. No
problem, right? Well, a little. Turned out my soliloquy
on what happened to me and
how I could vote only caused initial confusion at the
polling center with one poll worker yelling at me, So
wheres your ballot? I ended up finding my name on the
supplemental voting register on the poll worker table
myself and wondered why my name and my wifes name
were the only ones on there.
Still, why exactly was I placed on that register or the
inactive list?
Let me break with this particular narrative a bit to
explain that my mail delivery was relatively poor.
Constantly, I would receive mail for a very similar
address a few blocks away and I assume that very similar
address would receive mail intended for my address. For
about a year, it was a minor inconvenience and entailed
me placing a note on the wrong mail for it to be forwarded. But it turns out ballots cannot be forwarded and
if they are returned as undeliverable to the Elections
Office, the office may place a voter on the inactive list.
But what happens when mail delivery is spotty? And
how might that impact the countys all-mail voting
pilot program enabled by the governors signature on
Assembly Bill 2028, authored by Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin, D-South San Francisco?
I decided to ask Mullin who said the U.S. Postal
Service was a concern with his legislation. If ballots
arent reaching their intended recipient and instead are
being returned as undeliverable to the Elections Office,
which is placing said voters on an inactive list, does
that mean there is a weak link in this pilot program
touted to save money and be an efficient way for elections to be run?
Mullin said he would get to work on seeing if there
might be some language changes or perhaps the need for
a small bill that might rectify the situation.
In the meantime, I asked Chief Elections Officer Mark
Church if there was any consideration whether the
Elections Office might change its policy somehow with
either follow-up on returned ballots or perhaps trying to
send them out one more time with the hope that the second time might be the charm. I also contacted representatives from the U.S. Postal Service who provided me
with platitudes on how delivering the mail is their primary responsibility and an 800 number to call to complain. The one time I was able to get through to the 800
number, I was assigned a case number and a promise of a
follow-up call, which I never got. But delivery has
improved, so thats nice.
Also, Churchs office and Mullins office have been
trying to connect on how best to ensure that those with
poor mail delivery arent immediately placed on the
inactive voter list. Im sure they will figure it out but it
could be a matter of trying one more time or it may need
some small legislative remedy. Or it might take those
with mail delivery problems making sure that those
problems get solved so ballots come in the mail.
During the next election, if you havent received your
ballot and you have trouble voting in person, it might
be because the ballot was sent to the wrong address and
youre on the inactive list. So stay active by being
proactive. Misdelivered mail may be an inconvenience
but it might also hurt your effort to participate in one of
your primary rights as a U.S. citizen.

NEW YORK The stock market is

bouncing back from a tough start to
2015.
Investors sent shares sharply higher
for a second straight day Thursday, erasing the markets heavy losses from the
first few days of the year.
The gains were driven by a combination of positive economic news from
the U.S. and hopes for stimulus from
Europes central bank. The price of oil is
also showing signs of stabilizing after
six months of heavy losses, and there is
renewed confidence that the Federal
Reserve will keep supporting the economy as growth outside the U.S. appears
to be flagging.
The wild swings in stock prices will
likely become more common this year
as investors try and anticipate when, if
at all, the Fed will start to raise interest
rates, said JJ Kinahan, chief market
strategist at TD Ameritrade.
People will have to get used to
volatility at a higher level, Kinahan
said. Its going to be one of the primary stories for 2015.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
climbed 36.24 points, or 1.8 percent, to
2,062.14. The index is now up 0.2 percent for the year, after falling 2.7 percent in the first three days of trading.

The Dow Jones industrial average

gained 323.35 points, or 1.8 percent, to
17,907.87. The Nasdaq composite
gained 85.72 points, or 1.8 percent, to
4,736.19.
Comments from Charles Evans, president of the Feds Chicago branch, late
Wednesday gave stocks a lift. Evans
said that the U.S. central bank shouldnt
rush to raise interest rates, because
inflation was likely to remain tame for
several years, according to Bloomberg.
The prospect of more stimulus from
other central banks is also driving the
rebound.
European data Wednesday showed that
consumer prices fell in December for the
first time since 2009. That increased
pressure on the European Central Bank
president Mario Draghi to act to support
the regions flagging economy.
Many analysts expect the bank to
announce a plan this month to buy
European government bonds. Such a
move, known as quantitative easing, is
designed to hold down long-term interest rates and stimulate borrowing and
spending.
Oddly enough, the market was helped
by some of the weaker data out of the
eurozone, said Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial.
In many ways, the bad news was the
good news.
Investors also got encouraging news

on hiring Thursday.
A report showed that fewer Americans
applied for unemployment benefits last
week. Thats a sign that employers
expect the economy to keep growing,
prompting them to hold on to workers.
The Labor Department said Thursday
that applications for unemployment
benefits fell 4,000 last week to
294,000.
Economists forecast that a government report Friday will show that U.S.
employers added 243,000 jobs last
month.
Among
individual
stocks,
Constellation Brands was one of the
days biggest gainers.
The company, which owns the
Corona and Modelo beer brands, said its
fiscal third-quarter earnings climbed
thanks to increased beer sales. The earnings surpassed the expectations of Wall
Street analysts, and the company also
raised its full-year profit forecast. The
stock gained $4.59, or 4.5 percent, to
$107.64.
In energy trading, oil ended the day
fractionally higher after fluctuating
between small gains and losses for most
of the day.
U.S. crude oil gained 14 cents, or 0.3
percent, to $48.79 a barrel. Brent crude,
a benchmark for international oils used
by many U.S. refineries, fell 19 cents to
close at $50.96 in London.

Stores had a better-than-expected holiday season

By Anne DInnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK A rebounding economy and

big discounts fueled Americans to spend
more briskly in stores than expected during
the winter holiday shopping season.
Sales at 1,000 retail chains nationwide
rose 4.6 percent to $270.1 billion in
November and December, ShopperTrak, a
Chicago-based technology company, said
Thursday.

Apple company recalls 2014

shipments after link to listeria
WASHINGTON A California apple
packing plant has recalled all of its Granny
Smith and Gala apple shipments from 2014
after they were linked to an outbreak of listeria in caramel apples that may have caused
up to five deaths.

The results beat ShopperTraks forecast

for a 3.8 percent increase and mark the
strongest growth since 2005 when sales
rose 5.2 percent.
The ShopperTrak data offers the first
glimpse of holiday spending, although it
does not include online sales. A fuller picture
comes next week when the National Retail
Federation releases its holiday results based
on government data that includes online
sales. The trade group estimates a 4.1 percent increase to $616.9 billion.

Business brief

But the ShopperTrak data suggests

Americans are more encouraged by the
improving economy, including a rebounding job market and lower gas prices. Even
with the positive economic news, though,
stores were concerned that shoppers would
remain tight fisted during the holiday shopping season, which can account for an average of 20 percent of the industrys annual
sales.
Many stores started discounting heavily
on holiday merchandise as early as

Halloween to help spur spending. They also

pulled some deals on the day after
Thanksgiving known as Black Friday earlier, resulting in the declining importance of a
single day within the season. Additionally,
analysts say stores cut back on how much
merchandise they carried to avoid having
fire sales at the end of the season.
The moves seemed to have worked. At
least 10 retailers, including Barnes & Noble
and J.C. Penney, reported holiday sales this
week that beat expectations.

of mobile software developers are feasting
on peoples ravenous app-etite for apps.
Users of iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches
spent nearly $500 million on applications
and in-app services during the first week of
the year, according to figures released
Thursday. Thats the highest weekly volume
recorded by Apple Inc. since the Cupertino,
California, company opened its App Store
seven years ago and revolutionized the way
people connect with online services and
play games.
If sales continue at the same openingweek pace, Apple and the makers of the apps
would split up about $25 billion in revenue.
Apples revenue-sharing formula calls for

70 percent of app sales to be paid to the

developers with the rest kept by the company.
This years fast start came after Apples
app billings surged by 50 percent in 2014,
according to Thursdays breakdown. The
increase produced more than $10 billion for
app developers. That implies Apple reaped
somewhere from $4 billion to $5 billion in
revenue from its App Store last year, based
on the companys 30 percent commission.
Apple didnt disclose how much it made
from the App Store last year.
Most analysts expect the App Store will
contribute a bigger piece of Apples future
profits as people become more dependent
on their mobile devices, encouraging developers to create even more services tailored
for the gadgets.

How lower oil prices could fuel more hiring

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In June, when oil cost

$107 a barrel, U. S. employers added a
healthy number of jobs 267,000. Now,
with oil below $50, hopes are rising that
hiring in the United States is poised to
intensify.
Goldman Sachs forecasts that if oil stays
near its current price, the economy will add
300,000 more jobs this year than if the
price had remained at its June level.
Stronger job growth is foreseen at retailers,
auto dealers, shipping firms, restaurants and
hotels all of which will likely show
gains in Fridays jobs report for December.
From gas-station prices to utility bills,

consumers and businesses are now enjoying

savings on basic energy costs. It means more
people can splurge on purchases from clothing and appliances to vacations and dinners
out. That stronger demand will likely require
some businesses to step up hiring, which
would circulate more money through the
economy and perhaps fuel further job growth.
Just as critically, cheaper gas is suppressing overall U.S. inflation. Lower prices
keep down yields on U.S. Treasurys. Lower
yields, in turn, serve the housing market by
reducing mortgage rates and potentially
producing more construction jobs. This
week, for example, the average rate on a 30year fixed mortgage sank to 3.73 percent,
its lowest point since May 2013.

Sequoia stymies Mills

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Sequoia girls soccer team gained a

ton of experience against high-caliber competition when it played in the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues Bay Division in 2014.
The Cherokees, however, took their
lumps last season and were moved into the
Ocean Division for 2015. But the experience the senior-laden squad gained last year
should bode well for a PAL Ocean Division
title run.
When you play in this league (the
Ocean), the goal is to win the league title
and go to CCS. When we played in the Bay,
our goals were different, said Sequoia coach
Melissa Schmidt. Everyones excited for
league. Its fun to chase a title.
Sequoia got off to good start to the 2015
league campaign as the Cherokees opened
the season against host Mills Thursday.
Sequoia had a bye Tuesday but there was little rust two days later as the Cherokees
scored twice in the rst half and added a third
in the second in recording a 3-0 win.
It was a nice opener, Schmidt said.
Mills always gives us a game. I thought we
responded well.
Sequoia (1-0 PAL Ocean, 4-2-2 overall)
went on the attack early and never really let
up. Mills (0-2, 4-3-2) showed glimpses of
linking things together especially when
Ty Harames was on the ball but the
Vikings went long stretches without getting all their units playing as one.
Were not young, were new. I picked up
a lot from JV and theyre new to the (varsity) level, said Mills coach Caroline
Tiziani.
The Cherokees had a number of shots on
goal early, but all from distance and none
that were especially dangerous. But Mills
inability to clear the ball out of danger
resulted in Sequoias rst goal in the 20th
minute.
The play started with a cross to the front
of the Mills goal that rolled toward the corner. A Vikings defender partially cleared it,
but the ball went right to a Sequoia player at
the top of the penalty box. She sent a shot

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EUGENE, Ore. In the days leading up to

the Rose Bowl, Oregon sent customized
football jerseys to some of its famous fans,
including guitarist Tommy Thayer of Kiss,
Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and retired boxer
Lennox Lewis.
The jerseys were part of a social media
campaign to draw non-football fans to the
Ducks. The attention-grabbing promotion
was the latest for an athletic department that
is known for innovative marketing. Now
the schools academic side is joining in.
Even before the Ducks face Ohio State in
the national championship game Monday,
overall university efforts like the jersey
campaign are translating into the Flutie
Effect.
So named for the surge in applications at
Boston College following quarterback
Doug Fluties Hail Mary against Miami in

1984, in recent years the phenomenon has

touched several schools. Boise State, for
example, cited a 135 percent jump in online
academic inquiries, record merchandise
sales and an increase in donations following its perfect 13-0 season in 2006.
The Ducks arent leaving their Flutie
Effect to chance.
Just before the Rose Bowl victory against
Florida State, Oregon launched its new academic website. That was not a coincidence,
said Tim Clevenger, the universitys associate vice president for communications, marketing, and brand management.
It was decided before the season started
last fall to kick off a four-year overall marketing campaign using football as a welcome mat.
As the season progressed, the Heisman
announcement came out, we won the Pac-12
championship, and then were going to the
Rose Bowl, the whole thing just steam-

State is an underdog to Oregon in the
national championship game on Monday.
In fact, Decker refuses to recognize that
anything so outlandish is even possible.
I know Vegas or ESPN or whatever has us
as a 7- or 9-point underdog or something
like that but we are not, Decker said, clearly agitated. We are not an underdog. Ohio
State is never going to be an underdog, and
that is just how it is.
Oddsmakers in Las Vegas have the Ducks
as a 6 1/2-point favorite, a spread driven up
from an initial straight-up pick by bettors
backing Oregon. Many TV pundits also like
Oregon to grab the inaugural playoff crown.

At least seven in the running for Raiders job

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders

search for a new head coach has included
promising coordinators, recycled head
coaches and interim coach Tony Sparano.
After interviewing at least seven candidates the past two weeks, the Raiders could
be close to settling on someone to fill the
job.
Sparano had his formal interview for the
job on Wednesday, following at least six
external candidates. Those include current
coordinators in Jack Del Rio, Pep
Hamilton, Darrell Bevell and Pat Shurmur,
San Francisco tight ends coach Eric
Mangini and longtime NFL head coach
Mike Shanahan.
Shanahan is perhaps the most intriguing
candidate, having already held the job for
the Raiders before being fired after 20
games by late owner Al Davis. The two feuded during Shanahans tenure and Davis
refused to pay him the remainder of his

pour in 24 points to lead four Colts in double figures as the No. 6 ranked team in the

Goodwin was 11 for 19 from the field and
was joined by Israel Hakim (18 points),
Crissashawn Clark (17) and Kenny Hatch
(12) in double figures. Manny Martin finished with seven points and 10 rebounds for

salary after he was fired

four games into the 1989
season.
Shanahan won a grievance but never got paid
and later took great
pleasure in beating the
Raiders when he became
head coach in Denver,
Mike Shanahan where he won two Super
Bowls.
Current owner Mark Davis, Als son, dismissed critics who said he shouldnt even
talk to Shanahan because of the acrimonious history.
This is something I learned from my dad
you talk to everybody because you can
learn from everybody, Davis told the San
Jose Mercury News on Wednesday night.
Even if youre not going to hire somebody,
if it turns out that way, you can learn from
that person, if hes somebody who has
things you can learn from.
Davis said he particularly wanted to hear
Shanahans insights into quarterback Derek
Carr after his experience working with quar-

terbacks like John Elway and Steve Young.

If I didnt go listen to a guy thats got
one of the best offensive minds in football
and who has looked at all 16 of our games
and can critique our quarterback for us ...
why wouldnt I? Of course Im going to do
that, Shanahan told the Mercury News.
Its all part of the process. Were just trying to do what we can to get this right.
The Raiders have had eight head coaches,
more than 100 assistants and an NFL-worst
56-136 record over the past 12 seasons.
Oakland has not made the playoffs or had a
winning record in that span and is just 1137 in three full seasons since Al Davis
death.
Despite all of that turnover and losing,
there are reasons for optimism around the
Raiders based on a promising draft class by
general manager Reggie McKenzie. Carr
started all 16 games as a rookie and appears
as though he could end the revolving door
of quarterbacks in Oakland.
Linebacker Khalil Mack was an immediate
impact player on defense, while defensive
tackle Justin Ellis, guard Gabe Jackson and

cornerback TJ Carrie could be long-term

starters.
That gives the Raiders a foundation to
build on to go along with significant salary
cap room in free agency.
Of the current candidates, only Hamilton
and Bevell lack head coaching experience.
The Raiders have only hired someone with
previous professional head coaching experience three times in their history, with Joe
Bugel, Norv Turner and Art Shells second
stint with the team.
Mangini, Del Rio and Shurmur all had losing records as head coaches and Shanahan
has just one playoff win in 14 seasons after
Elways retirement.
Sparano also has experience, going 2932 in three-plus seasons as Miamis coach.
He lost in his only playoff appearance with
the Dolphins.
Sparano went 3-9 after Dennis Allen was
fired four games into the 2014 season. The
Raiders lost their first six games under
Sparano before winning three of the final
six games as the team showed marked
improvement in many areas.

Investigator: NFL needed to be more thorough in Rice case

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The long-awaited Mueller

report was released Thursday with no unexpected findings: the NFL initially botched
the Ray Rice case and had a weak domestic
abuse policy, but investigators found no
evidence league officials saw tape of Rice
hitting his fiancee before it was released.
Owners and executives were quick to say
the league had learned from its mistakes and
is solidly behind Commissioner Roger
Goodell and changes he has made.
The report from a former FBI director
hired to investigate said the leagues investigative system relied too much on information from law enforcement after the Ravens
running back knocked out his fiancee in an
elevator at the Revel Casino in Atlantic
City.
The 96-page report by Robert S. Mueller
III said Goodell and his investigators might
have seen the video of Rice hitting Janay
Palmer before handing down the suspension
had they tried harder.
The NFL should have done more with the
information it had and should have taken
additional steps to obtain all available
information about the Feb. 15 incident,
Mueller said in a statement after releasing
his report.
The report said a review of phone records
and emails of NFL employees showed no
evidence that anyone in the league had seen
the graphic video before it hit the Internet
in September. A law enforcement official

showed The Associated

Press videos of the incident and said he mailed a
DVD to NFL headquarters
in April.
The private investigation, without subpoena
power, did not include
any contact with the law
Robert Mueller enforcement official who
showed the AP the
videos. The officer played the AP a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number
dated April 9, in which a woman verifies
receipt of the DVD and says: Youre right,
its terrible.
The official, who insisted on anonymity
because he was not authorized to share the
evidence, told the AP on Thursday he didnt
speak with investigators.
I took steps to ensure a call from any person at the NFL wouldnt be traced back to me
and I was never contacted by the team of
investigators hired by the NFL to investigate the NFL, he said. I still dont know
who confirmed receiving the video and I
dont know what that person did with it.
We have reviewed the report and stand by
our original reporting, said Kathleen
Carroll, the APs executive editor.
The Mueller team did ask us for source
material and other newsgathering information, but we declined. Everything that we
report and confirm goes into our stories. We
do not offer up reporters notes and
sources.

Giants owner John Mara and Steelers

President Art Rooney, the men appointed by
Goodell as liaisons to the investigation,
said the 32 team owners were briefed in a
conference call Thursday morning. They all
expressed their belief Goodell told the truth
throughout the investigation.
They reiterated their backing of Goodell,
whose job never appeared in jeopardy
despite the missteps by the league in the
Rice case and calls for scrutiny of him from
outside groups.
There was resounding support for
Roger, Rooney said. Theres a very
strong confidence in Roger going forward
in terms of him being the commissioner of
the league.
Still, Mueller found the NFLs deference to
the law enforcement process involving
Rice led to deficiencies in the leagues collection and analysis of information during
its investigation. He added such an
approach can foster an environment in
which it is less important to understand precisely what a player did than to understand
how and when the criminal justice system
addresses the event.
Muellers report details some of the
efforts the NFL made in obtaining the video,
but said the league should have taken additional steps.
League investigators did not contact any
of the police officers who investigated the
incident, the Atlantic County Prosecutors
Office, or the Revel to attempt to obtain or
view the in-elevator video or to obtain

other information, the report said. No one

from the league asked Rice or his lawyer
whether they would make available for
viewing the in-elevator video they received
as part of criminal discovery in early April.
The report also said the league didnt follow up on initial conversations with the
Ravens to determine whether the team had
more information.
The official showed the AP multiple
videos from the casino the night Rice was
arrested. Those videos included security
cameras from inside and outside the elevator
and two cellphone videos that included
some audio.
The league said it considered the video
published by TMZ in September to be new
evidence meriting an indefinite suspension.
Its emergence drew renewed backlash to the
league from womens organizations, members of Congress and players all calling
for more detail on how the NFL handled the
case.
Mara and Rooney said Mueller made six
recommendations that the owners will
review. They agreed that the leagues policy
on domestic violence was insufficient.
We were slow to react, and in the case of
Ray Rice, the original punishment was
insufficient, their statement said. In addition, the steps taken by the NFL to investigate this matter were inadequate. Since then,
a new policy concerning domestic violence
and other rules for conduct violations have
been put into place.

Blues score four unanswered goals to smash Sharks

Blues 7, Sharks 2

By Nate Latsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS The St. Louis Blues scored

the final four goals to turn a one-goal lead
into a 7-2 rout of the San Jose Sharks on
Thursday night.
Alexander Steen, Jay Bouwmeester, Paul
Stastny, Jori Lehtera, T.J. Oshie, Patrik
Berglund and David Backes all scored for the
Blues, who have now 20 goals in three
games. Jaden Schwartz added three assists
and Brian Elliott made 25 saves.
The Blues beat the Sharks 7-2 on Saturday
in San Jose and then defeated the Coyotes 60 on Tuesday in Arizona. Thursdays game
was the start of a seven-game home stand

for St. Louis, which had played 16 of its previous 23 games on the road.
The Sharks, who rebounded from the loss
to the Blues with road wins against the Jets
on Monday and the Wild on Tuesday, got
goals from Logan Couture and Melker
Karlsson.
St. Louis struck first with a power-play
goal from Steen, his 11th of the season and
third in four games, and a goal from
Bouwmeester.
San Jose answered with a short-handed
goal from Couture, his 15th, with 1:33
remaining in the first period after Joe

Pavelski took a double-minor for highsticking.

Stastny helped the Blues capitalize on
Pavelskis penalty with a power-play goal,
his ninth of the season, assisted by Oshie
and Kevin Shattenkirk with 54 seconds left
in the period.
The Sharks scored just 29 seconds into
the second period with a wrister from
Karlsson, his fourth in four games, to make
it 3-2.
The Blues scored four straight goals from
that point, with two in the second period
and two more in the third.
Lehtera scored his ninth of the season in
the second, followed by Oshies 11th on a
rebound of Alexander Steens shot to chase

Florida State sued by alleged sexual assault victim

By Kareem Copeland
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. The woman who

accused Florida State quarterback Jameis
Winston of sexual assault is suing the
schools board of trustees.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in federal
court in Orlando. It requests a jury trial on
claims the board had an unreasonable
response to her accusations and created a
hostile educational environment for her.
Also Wednesday, Winston declared his
intention to enter the NFL draft.
At a student code of conduct hearing last
month, Winston was cleared of charges that
he violated any or all of four sections of the
code of conduct two for sexual misconduct and two for endangerment. A criminal
investigation concluded last year without
charges being filed.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages
from the university to be established at
trial.

That was the case in their biggest win of
the regular season, when they were 3 1/2point underdogs traveling to No. 8
Michigan State on Nov. 8, then beat the
Spartans by 12 points.
Everyone chose us to lose. We took that
to heart. We went out there and played, said
Ohio State defensive tackle Adolphus
Washington. It was a good thing to carry
over throughout the rest of the season.
The Buckeyes, like Oregon a winner in 13
of 14 starts, have won a nations best 12
games in a row since a dismal 35-21 loss to
Virginia Tech in its second game.

rolled, Clevenger said. It was an opportunity to say, The excellence that the football team and the whole athletic program in
general represent is what the University of
Oregon is all about.
Billboards went up across Los Angeles.
There were prospective student rallies. And
Oregon debuted a new TV spot that ran for
the first time during the Rose Bowl taking advantage of the free 30-second ad the
opposing schools both get during the game
broadcast which will run again on
Monday during the game between the Ducks
and Ohio State.
The effort, which is being privately funded, paid off. In the hour after the ad aired,
Oregons web traffic quadrupled, Clevenger
said. The traffic from the schools main
home page to the admissions page was six

Q: What mus t s he pro v e?

A: The woman must show that Florida
State did not follow its own guidelines and
promptly alert its Title IX coordinator of a
possible violation.
Florida State previously said the only
authorities aware of the incident before
January 2013 were Tallahassee police, campus police and the Victims Advocate
Program. The university said its Title IX
officials didnt become aware of the incident
until November 2013, when contacted by
the Tallahassee Police Department and that
the woman was not made available for an
interview with the school until Aug. 6,
2014. The womans lawyers have maintained that she was willing to talk throughout the process.
The university said because the Victims
Advocate Program continued to have confidential interactions with the woman for
months, it was duty-bound not to share any
of the information with FSU Title IX officials.

Department of Education guidelines state

that a university must conduct an investigation once it learns of an incident regardless
of whether a complaint is filed or not and a
law enforcement investigation does not
relieve the school of its independent Title
IX obligation to investigate the conduct.
Q: Why was i t fi l ed to a federal
co urt i n Orl ando ?
A: The suit was filed to federal court
because it deals with a possible Title IX violation, which is a federal amendment. The
filing claims Orlando is the proper venue
because she cannot receive a fair and impartial trial by jury in any other judicial district in which venue would be proper.
Tallahassee does have a federal court.
(Florida State) can request a venue transfer, said Tampa-based attorney Kristin
Melton, who has experience in NCAA legal
cases. The incidents occurred in
Tallahassee. The strong argument would be
that it should have been filed in Tallahassee.
That would be my position if I was FSU, and

I would try to get it transferred to

Tallahassee. It would really be her burden of
showing that she couldnt get a fair and
impartial hearing in Tallahassee.
Q: What do es Fl o ri da State face i f
fo und at faul t?
A: The lawsuit seeks damages in
amounts to be established at trial, including
... reimbursement and prepayment for all of
(the womans) tuition and related expenses;
... expenses incurred as consequence of the
sexual assault; damages for deprivation of
equal access to the educational benefits and
opportunities provided by FSU; and damages for past, present and future emotional
pain and suffering, ongoing and severe
mental anguish, loss of past, present and
future enjoyment of life, and past and present lost earnings and earning capacity.
There is no cap on damages in federal
court.
Q: What abo ut Wi ns to n?
A: The woman can still file civil charges
against Winston.

expert R.J. Bell of Pregame.com said.

Oregon is appealing to bettors because it
plays fast, scores a lot of points, and just
beat a team that hadnt lost in two years,
Bell said. Meanwhile, some bettors perceive the Big Ten as a second-rate conference in college football teams in the
conference were underdogs in all 10 bowl
games played so far this year before the title
game, Bell said.
Its just very unusual that it would fall
this way, Bell said. Its really a perfect
storm of public bias.
It makes most of the Buckeyes angry.
Shocker. Thats a shock that were the
underdogs again even after we beat the No. 1
team in the nation, said linebacker Darron
Lee. But, hey, whatever.
Safety Tyvis Powell also bristles at the
mention of the u word.
We still dont get the respect that we
deserve, he said. Ive seen some things on
the Internet where, like, 66 percent of the
world is picking Oregon. I mean I under-

stand why, everybody sees Oregon and

theyre like, Oh, wow. But its just motivation to come out here and make sure we
get the job done.
Others are disinterested in what others say
or think.
I dont care if were the underdogs or
favorites, quarterback Cardale Jones said.
Were going to go out there and play like
its the last game of the season.
Because, well, it is the last game of the
season with the first CFP playoff title
riding on the outcome.
Bell said being pegged as an underdog
often motivates elite teams and gives them
a psychological edge.
Bowl games in particular, underdogs
have an advantage because they have a significant leadup time to the bowl game in
which theyre told theyre not supposed to
win, Bell said.
Since 2000, Ohio State has been an underdog 31 times. It beat the spread 20 times and
won 16 of those games outright, Bell said.

Coach Urban Meyer said he may conjure

up the underdog label to fire up his team, if
need be.
I dont, like, pull out my underdog
script that we have in my file, he said,
tongue in cheek. Its what kind of team
youve got and who youre playing. Since
Ive been a head coach, weve gone berserk
with it a few times and theres other times
this last one (against Alabama) we didnt
really play it up much.
Several of the Buckeyes said they welcomed being an underdog. After all, its easier to surprise your opponent (and the
experts) that way.
Its kind of an unsaid feeling, a vibe that
we all get. It kind of goes to the hunger we
have as a team, wide receiver Evan Spencer
said. Them putting us as underdogs? Let
em, I dont care. We play so well as underdogs, I dont really care what they predict
the score to be because I know what were
going to go out there and do. Lets go play
ball.

times what is was the previous year when

the Ducks beat Texas in the Alamo Bowl.
The traffic to the academics information
page doubled, and an Explore Majors page
surged with six times the hits, Clevenger
said.
So its very clear that the broad awareness that our team brings is translating to
people checking out the university and finding out about us, he said.
The evolution of the Ducks athletic brand
has been an ongoing process for more than
a decade, starting when Nike co-founder and
Oregon alum Phil Knight posed a simple
question to the athletic department: What
do you need to get to the next level?
That brought new facilities and state-ofthe-art locker rooms that gave way this season to the sparkling Hatfield Dowlin
Complex adjacent to Autzen Field, with the
Ferrari-leather seats in the team auditorium
and Italian marble in the showers. The idea
was to help lure top recruits to Eugene in a
conference where Los Angeles and Seattle
are more attractive destinations.

And it brought those countless flashy uniforms the team is known for.
Amid all the Nike-facilitated flash,
Oregon also started winning. In the past 10
years, the Ducks have the most wins among
power conference schools with 106; LSU is
second with 103. Coach Chip Kelly brought
in an unconventional hyperdrive spread
offense in 2007 that the Ducks have built
upon even now that Kelly has moved on to
the NFL.
And thats key to their brand development, said Ed OHara, chief creative officer
and senior partner at SME Branding, a
brand-building firm headquartered in New
York.
Thats the Flutie Effect right there. It
(winning) gives validity to everything
theyre doing on the branding side, OHara
said. Theyre proving it on the field, so its
a beautiful harmony of these bold new brand
presentation ideas and success. Thats a
great, great combination.
OHara said what Oregon with Nikes
help does best is use surprise as part of

the strategy.
It really has upset this notion of tradition, in my opinion. Change and innovation is part of their tradition. Its a funny
use of those two terms, Change is their tradition, but thats what youve come to
expect, he said.
Oregons athletic department is more than
happy to share those ideas with the academic side.
From our standpoint, it truly is a great
window into the University of Oregon,
because there are going to be people watching the college football championship, and
those that watched the Rose Bowl, who are
going to be exposed to the University of
Oregon for the first time, said Craig
Pintens, senior associate athletic director
of marketing and public relations. So that
kid in South Dakota, who might only be
familiar with us because of football, hopefully is curious enough to go to the schools
website and learn more.

Panthers Newton looks to end struggles vs. Seahawks

By Steve Reed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Cam Newton must

find a way to beat his biggest nemesis for the
Carolina Panthers to advance to the NFC
championship game.
The fourth-year quarterback is 0-3 in his
career and has struggled to find the end zone
against the Seattle Seahawks, Carolinas
opponent in Saturday nights divisional playoff game.
Newton has led only one touchdown drive in
those three losses to the Seahawks.
Hes barely completed 50 percent of his
passes and is averaging just 145 yards passing per game. Hes been sacked eight times
and three turnovers, including two fumbles.
Newton has also been limited to 104 yards on
the ground and has not scored a touchdown
rushing against Seattle.
I cant really put a finger on it, Newton
said of his struggles against the Seahawks.
They have great players and theyre coached
extremely well.

SEQUOIA
Continued from page 11
into the penalty box that ricocheted around
before squirting to an unmarked Ashlyn
Wray 15 yards from goal. After a touch to
settle the ball, she hammered a shot into the
far right side net to put Sequoia up 1-0.
Any soccer coach will tell you that this is
the most important time of the game. The
old soccer adage is that the rst ve minutes
after a goal are the most crucial.
Usually thats referring to the scoring
team suffering a letdown and giving up a

WARRIORS
Continued from page 11
wont be hearing what hes saying on the
telecast, but Im sure guys will appreciate
having him there and honor him for what he
was able to do while he was here.
New coach Steve Kerr has been through a
similar scenario. He returned to Phoenix as
a TNT broadcaster during the 2010-11 season after serving as general manager of the
Suns the previous three years.
It felt very strange. It was awkward. Im
sure therell be some weird feelings for
Mark, Kerr told reporters following

Seattle coach Pete

Carroll said the Seahawks
havent done anything
special against Newton.
Weve just tried to play
football and hold on and
weve been able to get that
done, Carroll said.
This will be Newtons
Cam Newton first time playing in
Seattle, so battling crowd
noise will certainly add to Newtons challenges.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he believes
Newton will be fine as long as he doesnt try
to force the action against the leagues No. 1ranked defense.
He just has to take what they give him,
Rivera said. I know one thing about him is
that he is so competitive and he wants to make
things happen, but I think exercising the
right type of patience will be good for him.
Rivera said Newton has shown he can do
just that in recent weeks.
While his stats havent been spectacular,

Newton has gotten the job done and the

Panthers (8-8-1) have won five straight
games.
If Cam plays the way he has in some of the
games in this past five-week stretch there are
some really good possibilities for us, Rivera
said.
Still, odds-makers arent giving Newton
and the Panthers much of a chance of winning
on the road. They opened the week as an 11point underdog.
Rivera said the Panthers will need to perform better in the red zone to have a chance
something theyve struggled with most of the
season and in past games against Seattle
and not turn the ball over.
Carolina settled for three field goal attempts
last Saturday in a 27-16 wild-card win against
Arizona and also had three turnovers, two by
Newton.
When I look back at this past game, we had
ample opportunities to score, Newton said.
We had a couple of turnovers, senseless
turnovers at that. Me being the number one on
the blame list being the leader of this offense,

we just have to do better. If we do that, who

knows what the game will turn out to be?
Newton doesnt anticipate the Panthers
doing anything differently than they have
been in recent weeks.
Theyve leaned heavily on Jonathan
Stewart in the running game the past five
weeks and are averaging 196.6 yards rushing
per game during that span.
Newton also said he wont hesitate to throw
at Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman if
the opportunity presents itself.
Dont get me wrong, Richard Sherman is a
top-tier cornerback, Newton said. But, if the
read takes me there, I have to take it. Im not
going to shy away from it.
The Panthers may be without speedy wide
receiver Philly Brown, which could limit
Newtons options on offense.
The rookie is still recovering from a shoulder injury he sustained against Arizona. He
was limited Thursday at practice. Without him,
the Panthers lack a deep threat.
Rivera said Thursday hell make a decision
on Browns playing status closer to kickoff.

quick goal. Unfortunately for Mills, the

opposite happened Thursday.
The Vikings really came close to knotting
the score a minute later. Maria Cazares shot
was saved, but the Sequoia goalkeeper gave
up a rebound. The follow-up shot was
blocked by a Cherokees defender and rolled
to April French, who pulled her shot wide.
A minute later, the Cherokees found the
back of the net again for a 2-0 lead. Quickly
pushing forward on a counter attack,
Sequoia condently moved the ball upeld.
Wray ran onto a ball down the left sideline
before whipping a cross to the top of the
Mills penalty box to a wide open Genevieve
Cheatham. She touched the ball around one
defender, broke on goal and created some

space, ring a shot into the right side of the

net for a 2-0 lead in the 23rd minute.
In the 58th minute, Sequoia struck for its
prettiest goal of the match. Sarah Huber carried the ball to the end line before sending a
cross to the front of the goal. Kayla Funk
made a short post run and simply redirected
the cross into the net for the nal goal of
the game.
Mills played better on the nal 40 minutes and had a couple of quality scoring
chances, but the Sequoia defense was up to
the task. Rarely did the Vikings manage to
get behind the Cherokees backline and,
when they did, the Sequoia defenders had the
speed to close down most potential threats.
Theyre pretty speedy and pretty solid.

The outside backs are doing a good job

pushing up into the attack, Schmidt said of
her defensive line. Were operating as a
really good unit (as a whole). Weve had
a number of kids scoring and its coming
from the midelders and forwards.
While disappointed with the result on
top of a 2-1 loss Tuesday to rival Capuchino
Tiziani tried to look at the positives.
Im happy with the ght to the end,
Tiziani said. Its been a [rough] week for
us, but there was some stuff that happened
[against Sequoia] that we werent able to do
against Capuchino. So thats progress.
It was nice to see the ball moved down
the eld with a purpose.

Thursdays practice. The biggest thing is

we want to welcome him. He did a lot of
great things for this team. Hes got a lot of
strong relationships with people on our
roster and in our organization. So I want
Mark to come in here and enjoy himself and
visit with old friends. It should be a good
night for everybody.
Jackson did not respond to a message
from The Associated Press seeking comment on his return.
Most players said they have stayed in
contact with their former coach, regularly
communicating through text messages.
Others said they havent had contact with
him in a while knowing the transition is
still fresh for Jackson and the organization.
What just about everybody on the roster

and the coaching staff has regularly

acknowledged is that Jackson played as big
a role as anybody in helping the perennially losing franchise become a winner.
Jackson took the Warriors from 23 wins
to 47 to 51 in his three seasons. He became
the first coach to lead the franchise to consecutive playoff appearances since Hall of
Famer Don Nelson in 1991 and 1992.
He taught us a lot. He really helped turn
this organization around, forward
Draymond Green said. He really helped
build that foundation defensively, offensively, and coach Kerr has come in and hes
taken it to a different level.
The Warriors enter the game with an NBAbest 28-5 record. And while many have used
the strong start as vindication for Jacksons

firing, players said its a credit to what their

former coach helped start.

He knows how we feel about him in the

locker room. Those three years meant a lot
to us, Curry said. He set the tone and
changed the identity of what it meant to be
a Warrior, play Warrior basketball and be a
relevant team in the playoffs. I would say he
was very successful at his job for those
three years.
Obviously, it didnt end the way he
expected or the way most of us expected.
But he can hold his head high that he did his
job the best way he knew how and made an
impact on a lot of guys on and off the
court.

French police detain nine in hunt for two

By Elaine Ganley and Jamey Keaten
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

French police inspect the scene after an attack at a kebab restaurant near el Houda mosque
in Villefrance-Sur-Saone near Lyon the day after a shooting at the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo.
French police extended a manhunt on Thursday for two brothers suspected of killing 12
people at a satirical magazine in Paris in a presumed Islamist militant strike that national
leaders and allied states described as an assault on democracy.

Brothers sought in French

attack were onU.S. no-fly list
By John-Thor Dahlberg
and Ken Dilanian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS The younger brother was a

ladies man who belted out rap lyrics before
the words of a radical preacher persuaded him
to book a flight to Syria to wage holy war.
Less is known about his elder sibling,
whose ID card was found in the getaway car
used by the gunmen in the newspaper-office
massacre in Paris. But U.S. officials said
Thursday both were on the U.S. no-fly list
and the older brother had traveled to Yemen,
although it was unclear whether he was there
to join up with extremist groups such as alQaida.
The Kouachi brothers 32-year-old
Cherif and 34-year-old Said emerged as
the subject of a huge manhunt after the precision attack Wednesday that killed 12 people at Charlie Hebdo, a satirical weekly that
lampooned radical Muslims and the Prophet
Muhammad himself.
Witnesses said the gunmen in the attack
claimed allegiance to al-Qaidas offshoot in
Yemen.
Both Kouachi brothers the Paris-born
offspring of Algerian parents were
already known to American and French
counterterrorism authorities.
Cherif, a former pizza deliveryman, had
appeared in a 2005 French TV documentary
on Islamic extremism and was sentenced to
18 months in prison in 2008 for trying to

join up with fighters battling in Iraq.

It was the teachings of a firebrand Muslim
preacher that put him on the path to jihad in
his rough-and-tumble neighborhood of
northeastern Paris, Kouachi was quoted as
saying in the documentary.
The cleric told me that (holy) texts prove
the benefits of suicide attacks, Kouachi
was quoted as saying. Its written in the
texts that its good to die as a martyr.
Associated Press reporters who covered
the 2008 trial, which exposed a recruiting
pipeline for Muslim holy war in the multiethnic and working-class 19th arrondissement of Paris, recalled a skinny young
defendant who appeared very nervous in
court.
Cherif Kouachis lawyer said at the time
that his client had fallen in with the wrong
crowd.
During the trial, Kouachi was said to have
undergone only minimal training for combat going jogging in a Paris park to
shape up and learning how a Kalashnikov
automatic rifle works by studying a sketch.
He was described at the time as a reluctant
holy warrior, relieved to have been stopped
by French counterespionage officials from
taking a Syria-bound flight that was ultimately supposed to lead him to the battlefields of Iraq.
French Interior Minister Bernard
Cazeneuve, however, said Thursday that
Kouachi had been described by fellow
would-be jihadis at the time as violently
anti-Semitic.

PARIS Police SWAT teams backed by

helicopters tracked two heavily armed
brothers with al-Qaida sympathies suspected in the newsroom massacre of a satirical
French weekly that spoofed Islam, honing
in Thursday on a region north of Paris as
the nation mourned the dozen slain.
Authorities fear a second strike by the
suspects, who U.S. counterterrorism officials said were both on the U.S. no-fly list,
and distributed their portraits with the
notice armed and dangerous. More than
88,000 security forces were deployed on
the streets of France.
They also extended Frances maximum
terror alert from Paris to the northern
Picardie region, focusing on several towns
that might be possible safe havens for the
two Cherif Kouachi, 32, and Said
Kouachi, 34.
A senior U.S. official said Thursday the
elder Kouachi had traveled to Yemen,
although it was unclear whether he was
there to work with extremist groups like alQaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which is
based there. Witnesses said the attackers
claimed allegiance to al-Qaida in Yemen
during the bloody attack Wednesday.
Both were also on the U.S. no fly list, a
senior U.S. counterterrorism official said.
A Fren ch s ecuri t y o ffi ci al s ai d
American authorities had shared intelligence indicating that Said Kouachi had
traveled to Yemen several years ago for
t rai n i n g an d Fren ch aut h o ri t i es were
seeking to verify the accuracy of the
intelligence. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
The worst spasm of terror violence in
more than a half-century stunned France.
The lights of the Eiffel Tower went out
Thursday night in a tribute to the dead from

the elegant iron lady that symbolizes

France to the world. At noon, the Paris
Metro came to a standstill and a crowd fell
silent near the Notre Dame Cathedral.
French President Francois Hollande
joined by residents, tourists and Muslim
leaders called for tolerance after the
countrys worst terrorist attack in decades.
France has been struck directly in the
heart of its capital, in a place where the
spirit of liberty and thus of resistance
breathed freely, Hollande said.
Nine people, members of the brothers
entourage, have been detained for questioning in several regions. In all, 90 people,
many of them witnesses to the grisly
assault on the satirical weekly Charlie
Hebdo, were questioned for information on
the attackers, Interior Minister Bernard
Cazeneuve said in a statement.
The minister confirmed reports the men
were identified by the elder brothers ID
card, left in an abandoned getaway car, a
slip that contrasted with the seeming professionalism of the attack.
A third suspect, 18-year-old Mourad
Hamyd, surrendered at a police station
Wednesday evening after hearing his name
linked to the attacks. His relationship to
the Kouachi brothers was unclear.
The Kouachi brothers the Paris-born
offspring of Algerian parents were well
known to French counterterrorism authorities. Cherif Kouachi, a former pizza deliveryman, had appeared in a 2005 French TV
documentary on Islamic extremism and was
sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2008
for trying to join up with fighters battling
in Iraq.
Eight journalists, two police officers, a
maintenance worker and a visitor were
killed in the attack and 11 people were
wounded, four of them critically. The publication had long drawn threats for its depictions of Islam, although it also satirized
other religions and political figures.

Sniper
a tribute
to sacrifice
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A mere six months after releasing the Four Seasons drama

Jersey Boys, Clint Eastwood has again lapped his younger
directing colleagues with his second film of 2014 and his best
movie in years. American Sniper is quintessentially
Eastwood: a tautly made, confidently constructed examination of the themes that have long dominated his work.
American Sniper, based on Navy SEAL marksman
Chris Kyles best-selling memoir, is both a tribute to
the warrior and a lament for war. Shirking politics, the
film instead sets its sights squarely on its elite protag- Clint Eastwood
onist (Bradley Cooper), a traditional American war
hero in an untraditional war.
Here is an archetypal American: a chew-spitting, beer-drinking Texas
cowboy who enlists after the 1998 bombings of American embassies with
resolute righteousness and noble patriotic duty. The once wayward Kyle
finds his true calling in the Navy, and he heads to Iraq with a moral certainty that no amount of time served or kills will shake. Hes there to kill bad
guys savages he calls them at one point.
And kill he does. With 160 confirmed kills, Kyle is believed to be
the most lethal sniper in U.S. history. The film starts with a remarkable scene of Kyle poised on an Iraq rooftop with a young boy holding
a grenade in his scope. Eastwood and screenwriter Jason Hall flashback to Kyles upbringing, where his father taught him about the gift
of aggression and the honor of defending others.
Its the first of many cuts between far-away battle and the personal life
Kyle leaves behind. Shortly before shipping out, he weds Taya, played
by Sienna Miller, who gives a refreshingly lively take on a usually onedimensional character. Shes more cynical than her husband, who returns
to their growing family between tours, his head increasingly stuck in Iraq.
Hes much like a terse and weary Western hero torn from home; an early
shot through the front door of their home evokes the famous final image of
John Fords The Searchers. Instead of a Stetson, Kyle wears a baseball cap,
turned backward when he takes aim. Im better when its breathing, he tells an
early instructor after shooting a snake.
Cooper is extraordinary as Kyle. He has beefed up, adopted an authentic Texas drawl
and endowed Kyle with a commanding swagger. The war steadily takes its toll on his
psyche, even if hed never admit it. When Kyles younger brother, passing him on a

NEW YORK Sienna Miller will step up to play the fishnet-andbowler hat wearing chanteuse Sally Bowles on Broadway.
Roundabout Theatre Company said Wednesday that Miller will take
over from Emma Stone on Feb. 17 and play the final six weeks of the
shows run through March 29. Michelle Williams last year made her
Broadway debut in the role, handing it to Stone on Nov. 11.
The current revival of the revival that ran from 1998-2004 also stars
Alan Cumming as Emcee, Linda Emond and Danny Burstein. Its directed
by Sam Mendes and co-directed and choreographed by Rob Marshall.
Miller, who is currently co-starring in Clint Eastwoods American Sniper, Sienna Miller
made her Broadway bow in Patrick Marbers After Miss Julie and starred in
the 2011 West End revival of Terence Rattigans Flare Path.
Set in 1931 Berlin, Cabaret centers on the world of the indulgent Kit Kat Klub as it becomes
intertwined with the world outside, which gets more precarious on the brink of World War II. The
songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb include Willkommen and Tomorrow Belongs to Me.
Cabaret, both the Broadway show and 1972 film starring Liza Minnelli, Joel Grey and Michael York,
are based on the 1951 Broadway play I Am a Camera, which, in turn, was based on Christopher
Isherwoods book Goodbye to Berlin.

SUITS THAT SOAR: AIRLINE

PLAYING CARDS, AT THE SAN
FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM.
Playing cards are believed to have originated in China as early as the ninth century. In
Europe, by the late 15th century, and following the spread of the engraving technique of printing, decks of 52 cards with
four suits began to proliferate. By the late
19th century, decks began to be standardized with reversible designs. Playing cards,
along with other games, became a common
pastime among passengers on trains and
steamships and, because of their size and
weight, were ideally suited for use on airliners. By the late 1930s, airlines began to
recognize that decks of playing cards also
presented an excellent opportunity for
branding and advertising as an inflight
giveaway item. Carriers had printers create
uniquely designed decks with the airlines
symbol, logotype and the latest service
promotions, often for destinations served
or the carriers newest airliner. Suits that

Five things to look for as govt writes new dietary advice

By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON For years, the government has told Americans to eat their vegetables. A rewrite of the governments dietary
guidelines could include some new advice,
too, on sugar, salt, meat and caffeine.
Whether individuals listen or not, the
dietary guidelines affect nutritional patterns
throughout the country from federally
subsidized school lunches to labels on food
packages to your doctors advice. They also
form the basis for the governments My
Plate icon, which replaced the food pyramid a few years ago.
A government advisory committee made
up of medical and nutrition experts is set to
issue preliminary recommendations this
month. It indicated in draft recommendations circulated in December that it may
suggest some changes in current dietary
advice.
The secretaries of the Agriculture and
Health and Human Services Departments
will take those recommendations into

account as they craft the final 2015 guidelines, expected by the end of the year.
Five things to watch for as the government begins writing the new guidelines:

REAL LIMITS ON SUGAR

The
2010
dietary guidelines
r e c o m m e n de d
generally reducing caloric intake
from sugars added
during food processing or preparation. Those added
sugars act the same
in the body as naturally
occurring
sugars, but generally add
empty calories.
In its draft recommendations, this
years advisory committee is suggesting
specific limits on added sugars for the first
time, advising that only 10 percent of calorie intake come from added sugars.
The committee said that currently,

Americans get about 13 percent of their

total calories from added sugar, or 268 calories a day. Much of that is from sugary
drinks. Older children, adolescents and
young adults get
as much as 17
percent
of
their calories
daily
from added
sugars.
The Food and
Drug Administration
proposed last year that
the amount of added sugars be included as a line
on nutrition facts labels
on food packages.

HOW MUCH
SALT IS TOO MUCH
Lowering sodium is important for heart
health, and the 2010 dietary guidelines recommend that people eat less than 2,300
milligrams a day. That is reduced to 1,500
milligrams for people who are 51 and older,
African-American or those who have hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease.
Those subgroups amount to about half of
the population.
While the committees draft recommendations appear similar, it is unclear if their

advice on sodium will be as strong as the

2010 guidelines. A 2013 report by the
Institute of Medicine said that while lowering salt intake is important for health, there
is no good evidence that eating less than
2,300 milligrams a day of sodium offers
benefits.
The dietary guidelines advisory panel
noted that years of public pressure to lower
sodium levels has not had much effect. The
average American consumes more than
3,400 mg of sodium a day, or about 1 1/2
teaspoons.

EAT LESS MEAT?

Current guidelines advise that people eat
lean meats as a healthy way to get protein,
but the advisory panel has debated whether
lean meats should be included.
In addition, the draft recommendation discussed at the panels Dec. 15 meeting says a
healthy dietary pattern includes fewer red
and processed meats than are currently
consumed.
After that meeting, the National
Cattlemens Beef Association sent out a
statement by doctor and cattle producer
Richard Thorpe calling the committee
biased and the draft meat recommendations
absurd. He said lean beef has a role in

DIY pizza beats take-out any day

By Sara Moulton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Make pizza from scratch for a Super Bowl party? Come

on! Why bother when you can snap your fingers and have
it delivered to your door?
Heres why: Homemade pizza tastes better than anything you can buy and it takes much less time and effort
than you would think. Making the dough takes just 10
minutes. Then, during the next hour while the yeast is
working its magic, you have plenty of time to prepare
whichever toppings you and your guests are hankering for
shredded cheeses, sliced meats, vegetables, whatever.
The trick is to mix and knead the dough in a food
processor rather than by hand. Its quicker and cleaner
that way. And as long as you measure the ingredients accurately (going by weight, not volume) and dont add very
hot water, this dough is failure-proof.
This recipe makes enough dough for six 9- to 10-inch
pizzas. Youre welcome to invite more adventurous guests
to roll out and top their own dough. Otherwise, roll out
the dough ahead of time and pre-bake the crusts for them,
which speeds up the final cooking time. Pre-baking the
crusts also makes them even crispier than usual.
For years, I found stretching out pizza dough to be a
pretty frustrating process. Id roll it out in one direction
and it would spring right back at me. Id roll it in another
direction and the same darn thing would happen. Then one
day a Sicilian pal of mine passed along her mothers
method; she rolled it out on a counter that was lightly
oiled, but not dusted with any flour. Eureka! In this scenario, the dough doesnt roll back; it sticks to the counter. In just a few rolls, youre looking at a perfectly round,
perfectly thin pizza shell.
One last note: Encourage your guests to avoid making
Dagwood-style pizzas. Piling on too many toppings sogs
up the crust. Stick to the amounts Ive recommended and
everyone will end up with his own excellent personal
pizza. In fact, chances are the pizza will turn out better
than the game.

Loose Italian sausage, browned

Fresh tomatoes, chopped
To prepare the dough, in the bowl of a food processor
fitted with the metal blade, combine the flour, yeast,
sugar and salt. Pulse once or twice. Add the water and oil,
then process until a dough forms. It should be soft and
slightly sticky. If it is too sticky, add flour, 1 tablespoon
at a time. If it is too stiff, add water 1 tablespoon at a
time.
Lightly oil a large bowl. Shape the dough into a ball
and place in the oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat
evenly with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let
rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 hour.
Once the dough has risen, heat the oven to 500 F.
Arrange a rack on the ovens lowest shelf. Line multiple
baking sheets with kitchen parchment. You may need to
work in batches.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. On a lightly oiled
surface, one at a time roll out each piece of dough into a 9inch circle. Transfer each piece of dough to a parchmentlined baking sheet. If working in batches, transfer,
assemble and bake as many pizzas as you can, then repeat
the process reusing the baking sheets.
Top each pizza with about 1/4 cup of marinara, spreading it evenly to within 1/2 inch of the edge of the dough.
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the cheese. Finish with 3/4 cup
of optional toppings.
Bake the pizzas on the ovens lowest rack until the bottom is golden and the cheese is melted, about 7 minutes.
For a crispier crust, roll out each piece of dough into a 9to 10-inch circle, transfer it to a baking sheet and smooth
it out. Bake it for 3 minutes. Remove the crust from the
oven, add the toppings, then bake until the cheese is
melted, about another 5 minutes.

Homemade pizza tastes better than anything you can buy

and it takes much less time and effort than you would think.
Making the dough takes just 10 minutes. Then, during the
next hour while the yeast is working its magic, you have plenty
of time to prepare whichever toppings you and your guests
are hankering for shredded cheeses, sliced meats,
vegetables, whatever.

healthy diets. The American Meat
Institute issued comments calling any
attempt to take lean meat out of a
healthy dietary pattern stunning and
arbitrary.

NEW ADVICE ON CAFFEINE

The advisory committee indicated it
may propose guidelines that would
urge pregnant women to limit caffeine
intake. The 2010 guidelines dont
address caffeine use.

SNIPER
Continued from page 18
Tarmac in Iraq, curses the war, Kyle
looks him at with genuine befuddlement.
Eastwood has, of course, long been
drawn to stories about violence necessary if regrettable in meting out
justice and the cost to those that carry
its heavy burden. The question is if the
mythical rending of American Sniper
fits its more complex basis of reality.
Kyle, who died tragically in early 2013,
belies easy summary. He, for one,

The panel said it supports advice

from medical organizations that pregnant women limit caffeine to less than
200 milligrams a day, or around two
cups of coffee.
Limited evidence suggests that
moderate caffeine intake is associated
with a small increased risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weight, and
small for gestational age births, the
committee said in its draft recommendations.

Over the past year, the committee

has discussed the idea of including sustainability as a dietary goal. The advisory panel said in its draft recommen-

dations that there is compatibility

and overlap between what is good for
health and what is good for the environment.
The committee has framed the issue
in terms of ensuring food access for
future generations, and also what foods
are healthiest.
Guidelines addressing the environment could be another blow for the
meat industry.
A diet higher in plant-based foods
and lower in animal-based foods is
more health promoting and is associated with lesser environmental
impact than is the current average
U.S. diet, the draft recommendations
said.

boasted of shooting looters in New

Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. His
clarity of mission could also be said to
mirror the mistaken convictions of
politicians that put him in Iraq.
But I believe Eastwoods purpose here
is to depict a straight arrow in the fog of
a questionable war. (A pivotal late scene
takes place in a gathering sand storm
that obliterates the frame in clouds of
dust.) The soldier is true; the war confused, bureaucratic isnt.
The films narrow perspective, centered on Kyle, is both the best and worst
thing about it. American Sniper may
be a much needed tribute to the sacrifice
of American soldiers, but its lacking

context. Few Iraqis here are seen as anything but the enemy.
When Eastwood delved into World War
II in Flags of Our Fathers, his switch
to the other side of the battlefield for
Letters From Iwo Jima remains one of
the most profound moral decisions in
moviemaking. As fine as American
Sniper is, its in need of a companion
piece.
American Sniper, a Warner Bros.
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for
strong and disturbing war violence,
and language throughout including
some sexual references. Running time:
124 minutes. Three stars out of four.

LOS ANGELES A convicted burglar charged with breaking into the Los Angeles home of Miley Cyrus has pleaded
not guilty to felony charges.
Rusty Sellner entered pleas Thursday to burglary, receiving stolen property and grand theft. He could face seven
years and eight months in prison if convicted.
Sellner was arrested Monday.
Prosecutors say he broke into the Toluca Lake home Dec.
16 and stole a large amount of property belonging to Cyrus
and her brother.
Sellner has previous convictions for burglary and evading

who value the quality of what they
do.
While many Americans stereotypically picture artisan products as trinket tourist type products, North said
she works with true craftsmen who
produce unique, high-quality home furnishings.
Hand-woven Afghani rugs, pristine
copper tumblers forged in India, intricately woven baskets from Swaziland,
Morado wood vases from Bolivia,
inlaid wooden serving sets crafted in
Indonesia and carved Cambodian
sculptures are just a few of the products
available online. North said Artisan

turning people away from the beach

but is looking into the claim that a
deputy threatened visitors with citations.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
said his position on the issue has not
wavered and its currently inappropriate to prosecute trespassing citations.
Until this issue is completely
worked out in the court, until they
basically have resolved it and we know
what the rulings are, because we still
dont, were not going to court [to
prosecute] citations, Wagstaffe said.

Murky water
Mallachs ruling hinged on arguments that preventing and deterring
the public from accessing the coast by
closing the gate, putting up no trespassing signs and hiring a security
guard changed the lands use, constituted development under the Coastal
Act and therefore required permits.
But while firm in her instruction for
Khosla to seek permits, Mallachs ruling requiring he reopen the property in
the same manner as conducted by the
former property owners remains the
subject of dispute.
Property manager Jim Deeney,
whose family sold the property to
Khosla, stated in a declaration hes
since opened the gate on select occasions allowing people to enter so long
as they drive in and pay to park.
Individuals have ignored his orders,
walked on to the property and engaged
in risky behavior, according to
Deeneys Dec. 31 statement filed in
court.
When weather permits and when
someone is available to collect the
fee, the gate on the property is open
for vehicular access only, upon payment of a $10 fee, according to
Deeneys statement.
Unlike at state beaches where one

We are not a nonprofit and thats
very deliberate. Im a huge believer
that capitalism is not bad and it can be
a powerful source for good. And its
really important that these artisans
believe theyre not having handouts
that could be dried up, but that theyre
being paid fairly, North said.
Another social impact component
of her business model is ensuring the
nonprofits she interfaces with in
other countries are also providing a
type of community benefit program.
A self-described scrappy startup,
North said she primarily works out of
her Woodside home and a warehouse in

pays to park, but has the option to

walk to the beach, its unclear whether
it is legal for Khosla to not allow public access unless they drive and park.
Zane Shapira, a 33-year-old surfer
from Half Moon Bay, said he attempted to visit Martins Beach the day after
Christmas but was turned away.
I understand if you want to charge
$10 to park down there, that makes
sense. But if youre going to prevent me from walking down there, that
doesnt make sense because I can park
and walk down to any state beach,
Shapira said. To me, thats just stopping someone from accessing the
beach and I thought that was the whole
point of the case to give people, the
public, access to the beach.
The California Coastal Commission
has since initiated a prescriptive
rights survey asking the public if they
were previously paying for beach
access or for parking. The Coastal
Commission sent a letter to Khoslas
attorneys instructing the beach be
reopened until permits are secured or
face fines of up to $11,250 a day.
Surfrider attorney Angela Howe said
the group is disappointed in the recent
treatment of Martins Beach visitors.
While Khoslas attorneys are using
any ambiguities of Mallachs ruling in
their favor, the intention is for him to
apply for permits, Howe said.
The property owner is not in compliance with the judgment because
they havent applied for a coastal
development permit and when they
apply, all these things about when,
where and why they can prevent access
can be hashed out in that process,
Howe said. Surfrider is going to be
the watchdog organization and were
obviously going to see this through
and continue to fight for meaningful
public access there for the community.
porting social impact companies such
as Toms Shoes and Patagonia, North
said.
While revenue and projections look
strong, North said shes thrilled to
have happy customers supporting a
vital cause.
Artisanship is second only to agriculture as the biggest form of employment in the developing world and
its really important that that sector
thrives because so many people
depend on it, North said. One of the
things I think is going on now, particularly in Silicon Valley, were so
surrounded by technology [and] I
think people want to have authentically hand-crafted products. And this
sense of a richness or a texture or a
soul you surround yourself with in
your home and products that evoke a
role outside of your doorstep.

with you, nothing will be gained. Stick with the basics,
and proceed one step at a time.

concentration will enable you to market an unusual

idea. Keep your plans under wraps until the final
product can be revealed without a flaw.

take on a challenge. If someone is trying to make you
look bad, your adaptability and resiliency will help you
demonstrate what you are capable of doing.

STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR
FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR
SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE:
All right, title, and interest conveyed and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it
is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.
More fully described in said Deed of Trust
Street Address or other common designation of real property: 55 ARROYO SECO,
MILLBRAE, CALIFORNIA 94030
A.P.N.: 024-021-510, JPN: 024-002-021-51A
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.
The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the
obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:
$1,843,773.15
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's

the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a
written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (855) 427-2204, visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices/Sales.aspx using
the file number assigned to this case 2013-05552. Information about postponements
that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not
immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The
best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Reverse Mortgage Financial Assessment to begin March 2015

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a nancial assessment for
reverse mortgage borrowers that will take effect
March 2, 2015
HUD writes in explaining the purpose of nancial
assessment, The mortgagee must evaluate the
mortgagors willingness and capacity to timely meet
his or her nancial obligations and to comply with the
mortgage requirements. The mortgage requirements
include paying property taxes, homeowners insurance
and keeping up home maintenance.
HUD states, In conducting this nancial
assessment, mortgagees must take into consideration that some mortgagors seek a HECM due
to nancial difculties, which may be reected
in the mortgagors credit report and/or property
charge payment history. The mortgagee must also
consider to what extent the proceeds of the HECM

could provide a solution to any such nancial difculties. For borrowers who do not demonstrate
their willingness to meet their loan obligations, life
expectancy set-asides will be required.
The mortgagee letter also species documents that
must be collected and submitted to all borrowers. The
documentation has been updated to include Financial
Assessment Documentation including, credit history,
income verication, asset verication, property charge
verication, residual income analysis, documentation
of extenuating circumstances or compensating factors
and calculations for life expectancy and residual
income shortfall set-asides.
If you have a question about qualifying for a reverse
mortgage today, or how the nancial assessment will
impact your situation, contact us today.

A reverse mortgage is a loan that enable

homeowners 62 or older to borrow against the
equity in their home without having to give up
title, or take on a monthly mortgage payment.
The money received can be used for any purpose.
The loan amount depends on the borrowers age,
current interest rates, and the value of the home.
Borrower must maintain property as primary
residence and remain current on property taxes
and homeowners insurance. A reverse mortgage
does not have to be repaid until the borrower
sells or moves out of the home permanently,
and the repayment amount cannot exceed the
value of the home. After the loan is repaid any
remaining equity is distributed to the borrower or
the borrowers estate.

TRAFFICKING
Continued from page 1
year of promoting awareness, with particular concern that trafficking may increase at
the coming of the 2016 Super Bowl at the
new Levis Stadium in Santa Clara. Super
Bowls are known to draw many visitors and
traffickers know it is often an opportunity
to solicit clientele.
The county is also hosting a Community
Day of Action Saturday to help increase
awareness about human trafficking and
assemble teams of volunteers to distribute
informational posters created through a new
law requiring they be hung in bars, airports,
train stations, emergency rooms, massage
parlors and more.
Getting people educated is a good first
step to working on whats a long-term problem, said Honora Miller, director of the
Commission on the Status of Women of San
Mateo County. By and large, people are
not aware of it being an issue here. We
enjoy in San Mateo County an environment
where we dont see a lot of criminal activity
on our streets thats evident. And this kind
of activity happens in a way thats not necessarily apparent.
California is one of the top four destinations for human trafficking and volunteers
are encouraged to attend the day of action
for a brief training and then dispersing in
teams of two to a list of businesses mandated to hang the informational posters displaying a national hotline.

receipts on hearsay grounds. If he had,
prosecutor Joe Cannon would have needed
to prove the companies were even legitimate and have a representative testify
about the records not necessarily ... an
easy task in this situation three years
later, Presiding Judge J. Anthony Kline
wrote in the opinion.
The packing slips were key to the prosecutions case and the defenses failure to
object undermines confidence in the outcome of the case, Kline wrote.
Hroziencik did not respond to a call for
comment.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said
his office will ask Attorney General
Kamala Harris to review the decision to

ficked in the United States and the Bay

Area is a major hub for these criminals,
according to the Human Trafficking in
Silicon Valley report published in 2014 by
the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
Between 2012 and 2013, the California
Governors Office of Emergency Services
reported 1,628 victims of human trafficking
received services from federally funded state
task forces and the Alameda County District
Attorneys Office estimated nearly 43 percent of the states human trafficking cases
are in the Bay Area, according to the report.
A survey revealed 232 trafficking victims
received support services between 2011 and
2013 in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties
alone, according to the report.
The lesser-known labor trafficking is
another prevalent form of abuse in San
Mateo and Santa Clara counties as the immigrant population continues to grow, according to the report.
This is just such an important issue.
Theres the foster care system thats affected
by it, theres so many laborers in the county that are affected by this and with the
upcoming Super Bowl in 2016, my understanding is that its going to be increasing, said Lauren Greenberg Wanderman,
former chair of the countys Bar Association
Women Lawyers Section.
Already fully booked, the association is
helping organize the presentation Legal
Rights, Protections and Potential Remedies
for Survivors of Human Trafficking at the
county courthouse Tuesday, Wanderman
said.

San Mateo County cases

In 2013, six cases of human trafficking
were referred to the San Mateo County
District Attorneys Office by law enforcethe California Supreme Court and has 60
days to file a petition for review.
Wagstaffe said he and Cannon are very
disappointed in the Court of Appeals
decision and do not believe Hrozienciks
conduct warranted the reversal.
The heartbreak to the family of the victim, to have to go through another trial
due to the defense attorneys errors,
weighs heavily on us, Wagstaffe said.
A jury deliberated little more than a day
before convicting Villa on Dec. 15, 2011,
in the Jan. 3, 2009, death of Matthew
Johnson. Johnson and his friends threw
cans and then rocks from a Redwood City
overpass to the cars below, hitting a vehicle carrying Villa and his three cousins
who prosecutors say went after the teens
with deadly consequences.
Villa was 17 but charged as an adult and
as a second-striker. Prosecutors also
charged Luis Herrera, Villas cousin, who

ment and all were prosecuted. In 2014, 10

cases were referred and six were prosecuted,
according to the District Attorneys Office.
San Mateo County District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said his office is committed
to prosecuting human trafficking cases and
its critical to act preemptively.
Our county does not have the human trafficking problems that exist in some of the
bigger cities like San Francisco or
Oakland. But we do have a problem, it
does continue to exist, Wagstaffe said. If
you have a problem, you have a far better
chance of controlling it when its still at
the beginning rather than in full force.
Prosecuting human trafficking cases can
be challenging and last week Wagstaffe
said his office had to resolve a case over an
alleged human trafficker with a lesser plea
when the victim disappeared, Wagstaffe
said.
One enormous problem, and it is enormous, is keeping the victim as a witness in
a case. Thats been our number one issue
and this is true in all counties, Wagstaffe
said. Because these cases are big and
defense attorneys know the longer you
delay them the greater chance the victim
will [disappear.]
Local law enforcement has also stepped
up in combating these types of crimes and
the county issued new protocol to combat
human trafficking last March. Emergency
dispatchers are to give human trafficking
calls the same priority as life-threatening
emergencies and officers are directed to
arrest suspected traffickers as felony cases
also participated in the attack, but he
pleaded no contest to a lesser assault
charge and testified for the prosecution.
Hroziencik told jurors that Herrera was the
actual killer and that Villa was an easy target to frame after he fled to Mexico after
the stabbing. The other teens also left the
country initially but returned shortly after.
Villa remained in Mexico until his extradition that July.
The confrontation from the initial rock
throwing to the final assault in a parking
lot down the street took less than three
minutes. Johnsons two friends testified
during the trial that the trio played around
near the railroad tracks in Redwood City
by Safeway and eventually began throwing soda cans and rocks from the overpass.
One rock struck a red Honda Civic later
identified as that carrying Villa and his
cousins Herrera, Jonathan Herrera, then
18, and Uriel Villa, then 17. Villa and the

and not be influenced by the alleged victims citizenship.

The San Mateo County Police Chiefs and
Sheriffs Association created a multi-jurisdictional task force to combat human trafficking in November 2013. Within a year,
the task force netted five arrests for human
trafficking, four for pimping and pandering and 16 for prostitution-related offenses, according to law enforcement authorities.
Nixon said the discussion around human
trafficking needs to be encompassing and
hopes events aimed at raising awareness
will help.
I feel what isnt talked about enough is
that there wouldnt be a supply if there
werent a demand. So we really need
strong, powerful men talking to men about
sex trafficking and the abuse of women,
the objectification of women in our society. We really need that conversation to
happen, Nixon said. My awareness has
been raised I was just so struck by the
invisibility of modern day slavery and its
right in our backyard.

others chased the teens down the street to
a parking lot where Johnson was beaten
and stabbed. The chase was partially
caught on surveillance tape from a nearby
apartment complex but Johnsons two
friends did not see the stabbing. Villa did
not take the stand in his own defense but
witnesses called by both sides offered conflicting accounts on what he allegedly told
them about the encounter.
A search of Villas home turned up the
mail-order packing slips for knives that
the pathologist said could not be discounted as the murder weapons because they had
similar blades but that a defense expert
said was not compatible with Johnsons
wounds.
