Central Park ball field to stay

At least two tennis courts to also remain, community center considered
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

From a Little League ball player clad

in his team jersey, to an 97-year-old
woman who needed assistance standing, San Mateo officials assuaged
many residents fears Wednesday night
by ensuring a variety of amenities at
Central Park would remain.
In the midst of updating the Master
Plan for the historic 16-acre site, the
City Council and Parks and Recreation
Commission held a joint study session
to discuss possible changes that ini-

tially sparked concern among the

parks many users.
The council and commission took
its first crack at providing input on
several conceptual designs, some of
which included doing away with the
Fitzgerald Ball Field, removing the
parks six tennis courts and tearing
down the community center currently
occupied by Self-Help for the Elderly.
While many users rallied with petitions to save their beloved amenities
after three conceptual drawings were
released in January, the majority of the
nine councilmembers and commis-

sioners offered some reassurance

the park will continue to maintain the
ball field as well as at least some, but
not all, of the tennis courts.
The council also requested a larger
discussion about the citys entire park
system and more outreach specifically
concerning various types of community center options.
This is an important process and
its important for people to get out
here and talk about what their uses are
and what their loves are. But what we

A proposal to develop more housing at the 20-acre

Pilgrim Triton project site in exchange for already
approved commercial space is coming up for the Foster
City Council to study, but it appears unlikely the developers will receive much support.
Traffic impacts, overcrowded schools and a strain on
resources have long been touted by the public as reason for
the City Council to refrain from approving more residences
in the city until nearly 800 already approved units come
onto the market.
While the council has heeded the communitys concerns
by disapproving several recent proposals to construct
mixed-use housing projects in the city, developer Sares
Regis Group has asked to amend the Pilgrim Triton Master
Plan to support more residences.
Approved nearly a decade ago, plans for the site off East

PG&E finds defects in San Carlos gas line

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

PG&E reduced pressure on a gas transmission line running through San Carlos after
retrofit work revealed two defects May 5,
according to the city.
Both the city and the California Public
Utilities Commission received notice from
Pacific Gas and Electric Wednesday afternoon that the two defects appeared to be
bulges in pipe and that pressure on the line
was reduced from 279 pounds per square inch

that it had already planned to replace the
sections of the pipe during retrofit work,

State Supreme Court sides with

consumers in generic drug fight
By Sudhin Thanawala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO In a win for consumers, the California Supreme Court ruled
Thursday that settlement agreements
between pharmaceutical companies that
keep cheaper, generic drugs off the market
may be illegal if they include excessive
cash payments.
Consumer advocates say such deals have
become more common in the drug industry
and add billions of dollars to the drug bills
of American patients and taxpayers.
The court ruled unanimously that such
pay-for-delay deals between brand-name
and generic drugmakers can violate the
states anti-trust law.
Such agreements arise when generic companies challenge the patents that allow
brand-name companies to exclusively market a drug.
Lawsuits generally follow. If the two sides
arent certain who will win, they often reach
a compromise deal that includes a sizable
payment from the brand-name company to

This ruling supports the U.S. Supreme

Court ruling and makes it tougher for a different
court to ignore it and go in a different direction.
Michael Carrier, a professor at Rutgers School of Law in New Jersey

the generic drugmaker and an agreement by

the generic drugmaker to hold off on selling
its cheaper drug for some time.
In its ruling, the California high court
said plaintiffs in cases challenging those
deals must show that any cash payment
exceeds the value of legal costs and any
other products and services the generic drugmaker has agreed to provide and dispel any
other justifications the drugmakers put forward, the court said.
The ruling was the first decision by an
appellate-level court about drug settlement
agreements since a 2013 U. S. Supreme
Court decision that allowed the government
to inspect and challenge such deals, said
Michael Carrier, a professor at Rutgers
School of Law in New Jersey who filed a
brief in support of the California plaintiffs.

This ruling supports the U.S. Supreme

Court ruling and makes it tougher for a different court to ignore it and go in a different
direction, Carrier said.
Thursdays decision came in a challenge
to a $398 million settlement between drugmakers Bayer and Barr Laboratories over the
antibiotic Cipro. Barr wanted to market a
generic version of Cipro and accused Bayer
in 1991 of having an invalid patent for the
drug, prompting a lawsuit by Bayer.
As part of the 1997 settlement agreement,
Barr agreed to postpone marketing its
generic Cipro until Bayers patent expired.
Consumer groups say such deals rob consumers of the savings that would be generated if the generic companies won patent lawsuits and could begin marketing a cheaper,
generic version of the drug right away.

Alibaba 4Q revenue jumps as it sees more shoppers

NEW YORK Chinese e-commerce powerhouse Alibaba Groups revenue jumped 45

percent on strong mobile growth and more
active buyers in the fiscal fourth quarter.
The company also on Thursday named a
new CEO and said it planned a hiring freeze
for the fiscal year.
Sales beat expectations, and the companys shares rose 7.5 percent in premarket
trading.
Alibaba went public in September to

much fanfare as investors sought to tap into

the rapidly growing Chinese middle-class
consumer class. Its e-commerce platforms
including Taobao and Tmall make up 80 percent of Chinese e-commerce.
Net income for the three months ended
March 31 fell 49 percent to 2.87 million
Chinese yuan ($463 million), or 1.12 yuan
(18 cents) per share, from 5.66 billion
yuan, or 2.37 yuan per share, last year.
Excluding one-time items, net income
totaled 48 cents per share. Analysts expected 43 cents per share, according to FactSet.

Revenue rose 45 percent to 17.43 billion

yuan ($2.81 billion), from 12.03 billion
yuan last year. Analysts expected $2.72 billion.
Gross merchandise volume, or the total
amount of goods sold on Alibabas platforms, rose 40 percent from the same period
last year. Annual active buyers rose 37 percent to 350 million.
Shares rose 7.5 percent, or 6 percent, to

of the year.

Study: Vaccination against
measles may have other benefits
LOS ANGELES A new study suggests
the measles shot comes with a bonus: By
preventing that disease, the vaccine may
also help your body fight off other illnesses for years.
Its long been known that contracting
measles weakens the immune system for
weeks or months, putting people, especially children, at increased risk for potentially
fatal infection by a host of germs.
Now, scientists find that this vulnerable
period goes on much longer than thought,
up to three years. So the benefit of avoiding
measles also extends longer than was appreciated. Researchers also found that measles
vaccination campaigns were followed by a
drop in deaths for other infectious diseases.
Experts said the work is a wake-up call to
parents who dont vaccinate their children
out of unfounded fears about a link between
vaccines and autism.

$14M can, bottle recycling scheme
LOS ANGELES Five people were part of
a scheme that involved trucking more than
200 million cans and bottles from Arizona

A grand jury in Kern County indicted five
Californians on charges including grand
theft and recycling fraud. While that indictment came in March, details of the case were
announced Thursday by Californias
Department of Resources Recycling and
Recovery, known as CalRecycle.
More than a dozen private recycling centers in Southern California also were implicated in the scheme because they accepted
the Arizona cans and bottles, according to
CalRecycle. While centers are responsible
for determining containers origins, in this
case they either were operated by or formed
alliances with the fraud ring, CalRecycle
said.

Cold spring storm

moving through
California, Nevada
By John Antczak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES An unseasonably cold spring storm pushed

south through California and
Nevada on Thursday, bringing a
belated touch of a winter that
never really was to the droughtstricken states.
Showers fell here and there, and
gusty winds rose in the San
Joaquin Valley and deserts, while
snow fell high in the Sierra
Nevada, where peaks that normally store a vast water supply have
largely been free of snowpack
after another dry year.
Yosemite
National
Park
received snow at high elevations,

and the popular Tioga and Glacier

Point roads were temporarily
closed due to the conditions, the
Park Service said.
Glacier Point Road, leading to
spectacular views, had re-opened
from its usual winter closure
March 28 because of a lack of
snow. That was the earliest opening in at least 20 years. It sometimes remains closed until late
May.
The Sierra crest above 7,000
feet was expected to see accumulations of 4 to 8 inches, with up to
12 inches in some areas, the
National Weather Services Reno
office said.
Chains or snow tires were
required on some highways.

REUTERS

A spring storm was expected to bring several inches of rain to some areas of drought-parched California and up
to 2 feet of snow to mountains, just days after Gov. Jerry Brown ordered sweeping cuts in water use.
Forecasters said travel impacts
would last into Friday morning.
Outside the Sierra, Southern
California mountains were predicted to see snow at elevations as
low as 4,500 feet overnight, but
with only light accumulations,
while peaks near the Las Vegas
region were likely to see a dusting
down to 5,000 feet.

After a winter that was more

like spring across the area, it
looks like we are retrograding
back a season over the next few
days as a cold storm system
impacts the area, the Las Vegas
weather service office wrote.
Southern California forecasters
said the cold and unstable air mass
might linger in the region into

Saturday with widely varied

impacts, including the possibility of waterspouts in coastal
waters.
Some areas would not see any
rainfall, but thunderstorms could
drop up to a half inch in localized
areas and potentially trigger mud
and debris flows in wildfire burn
areas, the weather service said.

Environmental groups sue state oil and gas regulators

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO California

environmental groups filed a lawsuit Thursday against state oil and
gas regulators seeking to halt
illegal oil-industry dumping into

drinking-water aquifers.
The lawsuit was filed in a
Northern California court by
Earthjustice on behalf of the
Center for Biological Diversity
and Sierra Club.
Californias oil and gas regula-

tors have acknowledged they mistakenly gave oil companies thousands of permits to dump fluid
into federally protected underground water supplies.
The two environmental groups
say the states plan for stopping

the contamination is moving too

slowly.
They sued to order immediate

Appeals court: NSA phone

record collection is illegal
By Larry Neumeister and Ken Dilanian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The unprecedented and

unwarranted bulk collection of the entire U.S.
populations phone records by the government is illegal because it wasnt authorized
by Congress, a federal appeals court said
Thursday as it asked legislators to balance
national security and privacy interests.
A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in Manhattan permitted the
National Security Agency program to continue temporarily as it exists, but it all but
pleaded for Congress to better define where
boundaries exist or risk invasions of privacy unimaginable in the past.
The appeals court said if the government is
correct in its legal arguments, it could also
justify storing in bulk metadata associated
with Americans financial records, medical
records and electronic communications,
including email and social media information.
An opinion written by Circuit Judge Gerald
Lynch said Congress could profoundly alter
the legal landscape after debate.
Congress cannot reasonably be said to
have ratified a program of which many members of Congress - and all members of the
public - were not aware, it said.
The statutes to which the government
points have never been interpreted to authorize anything approaching the breadth of the
sweeping surveillance at issue here, the
court said. The sheer volume of information
sought is staggering.
A lower court judge in December tossed out
an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit,
saying the program was a necessary extension to security measures taken after the
Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The NSAs collection and storage of U.S.

landline calling records times, dates and

numbers but not content of the calls was
the most controversial program among many
disclosed in 2013 by former NSA systems
administrator Edward Snowden. Some NSA
officials opposed the program, and independent evaluations have found it of limited value
as a counterterrorism tool. Snowden remains
exiled in Russia.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said
the government is reviewing the courts decision. She added that the June 1 expiration of
the Patriot Act provisions provides opportunities to reauthorize the program in a way
that does preserve its efficacy and protect privacy.
The courts ruling sharpens the focus on
the ongoing congressional debate.
Republicans and Democrats in the House
have agreed on a bill to end the governments
bulk collection of the records, but Senate
leaders are backing a competing measure that
would maintain the status quo.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
and intelligence committee chairman Richard
Burr took to the Senate floor Thursday with
forceful arguments in favor of continuing the
bulk collection. A Senate aide, however,
speaking on condition of anonymity because
he was not authorized to be quoted about
internal deliberations, told the Associated
Press the two senators remained open to a
compromise that replaces NSA collection
with a workable alternative that allows the
agency to hunt for terror plots in the U.S.
The divisions on the issue dont run neatly along partisan lines. Libertarian-leaning Republicans have joined many
Democrats in arguing that a secret intelligence agency should not be storing the
records of every American phone call, even
if the data are only examined under limited
circumstances.

Love triangle leads

to attempted murder charge
A 19-year-old woman was arrested in
Burlingame Thursday morning after
allegedly stabbing her former boyfriends
fiancee.
Francesca Martinez, of San Mateo, was
arrested outside a residence on the 1700
block of Sequoia Avenue for attempted
murder and assault with a deadly weapon,
according to Burlingame police.
Martinez and the victim, a 21-year-old
Belmont woman, were texting each other
about the man when the conversation
became heated and the two agreed to meet.
Shortly after the victim arrived at the residence with her fiance around 5 a. m. ,
Martinez charged her with a whiskey bottle and pocketknife. Martinez hit the victim over the head with the bottle while
stabbing her several times in the torso,
according to police.
The victims fiance immediately drove
her to the hospital where she was being
treated Thursday for a stab wound to her
lower abdomen, a superficial cut to her
breast and lacerations to her forehead,
according to police.
Martinez was arrested shortly after at the
Sequoia Avenue residence and booked into
county jail, according to police.

Caltrain ridership hits

all-time high again
Average weekday Caltrain ridership is at
an all-time high at 58,245 passengers, a
71 percent increase since 2010 when it
was at 34,120, according to initial findings of an annual ridership count presented to the Board of Directors Thursday.
The ridership count, a physical head
count of riders, is conducted in February,
which typically has fewer holidays and
special events that could skew ridership
numbers. Last year, Caltrain saw record
ridership numbers of more than 61,000
during the peak season. Based on current
trends, the agency expects to continue to
see those numbers climb through the coming year, according to Caltrain.
Most riders continue to travel during
peak commute hours, with a 13.1 percent
increase or 3,376 from last year to this
year. There also was a significant increase
in reverse peak riders, from 17,044 last
year to 18, 842 this year, according to
Caltrain.
The top 10 most popular train stations
ranked the same as last year. There was an
11.6 percent increase in the number of riders, with San Francisco at number one and

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Local briefs
Palo Alto remaining at number two.
Overall, every train station except College
Park showed an increase in riders. When
comparing ridership by county, Santa
Clara County has the highest average
weekday ridership with 24,839; San Mateo
County has the second-most at 17,852 and
San Francisco has 15,454, according to
Caltrain.
To address the capacity issue, beginning
Monday, May 11, Caltrain will add an
extra car to all Bombardier train sets currently in operation. The sixth car will provide an additional 150 seats and increase
standing room during the peak-hour commute, according to Caltrain.

before being assigned to the B platoon. The city appointed him as the new
fire chief in September 2008, according
to the city.
Jim is a well-respected leader and a
great friend to many here at the city, so I
know he will leave big shoes to fill, City
Manager Bob Bell said in a prepared statement. Im very happy for him and this
exciting new chapter in his life. Jim has
kindly agreed to help with the search and

found something I am sure the new city
manager will be very grateful for.
Although Skinner plans to retire June
28, he will remain longer if needed to
assist the new city manager who has yet
to be named with the search. Bell also
announced his retirement earlier this year
and will stay into the summer while the
City Council finds a replacement. Skinner
also aims to continue working part time at
City College of San Francisco, where hes
been teaching fire science since 1994,
according to the city.

Senate OKs bill giving Congress

review of the Iran nuclear deal
By Deb Riechmann
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate muscled its

way into President Barack Obamas talks to
curb Irans nuclear program, overwhelmingly backing legislation Thursday that would
let Congress review and possibly reject any
final deal with Tehran.
The vote was 98-1 for the bipartisan bill
that would give Congress a say on what
could be a historic accord that the United
States and five other nations are trying to
finalize with Iran. Under the agreement, Iran
would roll back its nuclear program in
exchange for relief from crippling economy
penalties.
The lone no vote came from freshman
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who wants the
administration to submit any agreement to
the Senate as a treaty. Under the
Constitution, that would require approval of

Syrian rebel training

has started in Jordan
WASHINGTON After months of delays
and vetting, the training of moderate Syrian
rebels has started in Jordan as part of a
broader effort to build a force capable of
fighting Islamic State extremists, U.S. and
Jordanian officials said Thursday.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter acknowledged, however, that the administration has
yet to decide exactly how and when the U.S.
would support or go to the rescue of Syrian
rebel troops if they are attacked by forces

two-thirds of the Senate.

The House is expected to vote next week
on the measure.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
said in a statement moments after the vote
that the goal is to stop a bad agreement
that could pave the way to a nuclear-armed
Iran, set off a regional nuclear arms race, and
strengthen and legitimize the government
of Iran.
White House spokesman Eric Shultz said
Obama would sign the bill in its current
form. But the spokesman added that Obama
has made it clear that if amendments are
added by the House that would endanger a
deal coming together that prevented Iran
from obtaining a nuclear weapon, that wed
oppose it.
Even if Congress rejects his final nuclear
deal with Tehran, however, Obama could use
his executive pen to offer a hefty portion of
sanctions relief on his own.

WASHINGTON Federal investigators

learned several hours before a provocative
cartoon contest in Texas that a man under
investigation for extremist activities might
show up and alerted local authorities there,
but had no indication that he planned to
attack the event, FBI Director James Comey
said Thursday.
The information about Elton Simpson
was developed about three hours before the
contest, which the FBI had already identified as a potential target for violence
because it involved cartoons depicting the
Prophet Muhammad. Simpson and his
roommate, both from Phoenix, opened fire
outside the Garland, Texas, cultural center
but were shot dead before they were able to
kill anyone.
Simpson, previously convicted as part of a
terrorism-related investigation, had come
under new federal scrutiny in recent months
related to alarming online statements about
the Islamic State. When the FBI learned that
he could be heading toward the event, the
agency sent an intelligence bulletin to
police in Garland, including a picture and
other information, even though we didnt
have reason to believe that he was going to
attack the event. In fact, we didnt have reason to believe that he had left Phoenix.
Comey, making his first public comments
on the Sunday shooting, did not disclose
steps that he said the FBI could have taken to
prevent the attack and said those questions
were still being evaluated.
What Ive seen so far looks like we did it
the way we were supposed to do it, Comey
said.
The FBI director said the attempted attack
highlights the difficulties the FBI faces, at a
time when social media has helped facilitate
communication among potential home-

grown extremists, in differentiating between

those who merely make inflammatory comments online and those who act on them.
I know there are other Elton Simpsons
out there, he said.
The shooting is part of what authorities
have long considered an alarming trend
involving would-be recruits for whom technology makes it easier to be exposed to
Islamic State propaganda through social
media such as Twitter. There are thousands of
English-language Twitter users who follow
the Islamic State around the world and hundreds in the United States alone, according to
Comey.
The terror group encourages its followers
to travel to Syria to join the self-created
caliphate there, but if they cant do that, to
kill where you are.
The siren song sits in the pockets, on the
mobile phones, of the people who are followers on Twitter, Comey said. Its almost

Simpson came under FBI investigation in
2006 and was convicted five years later following a terrorism-related investigation
stemming from what prosecutors said were
his plans to travel to Somalia to fight alongside militants there. He was sentenced to
three years of probation for lying to a federal agent.

Carter said the U.S. is training the rebel
troops to fight against Islamic State militants, and will support the rebels in that
effort with surveillance or airstrikes. But he
said that while the U.S. bears some general
responsibility to protect the rebels, there
have been no decisions yet on what the U.S.
would be willing to do if the trained rebels
return to Syria and get into a battle with

Exit poll shows Conservative Party

surprisingly strong in U.K. election
By Jill Lawless
and Danica Kirka
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON The Conservative

Party fared much better than
expected in British parliamentary
elections Thursday, an exit poll
projected, suggesting that Prime
Minister David Cameron is within
touching distance of forming a
new government.
The opposition Labour Party of
Ed Miliband took a beating,
according to the poll, much of it
due to the rise of the separatist
Scottish National Party. The poll
said the SNP would take all but one
of the 59 seats in Scotland, most
of them from Labour.
Camerons coalition partner, the
Liberal Democrat Party, was
expected to lose most of its seats
on a night that shook the grip of
Britains three biggest parties.

The big show for those who dont know

By Lisa Taner

nteresting meeting May 6 in San

Mateo for Plan Bay Area 2040, or as I
would dub it, The big show for those
who dont know. The invitation to the public was ostensibly to help chart the path for
your community by participating in this
critical, collaborative planning process.
Topics to be discussed include: trafc, housing development and employment growth.
Independent stations bordering the room
offered interactive maps and colorful poster
board pictorials, manned by happy folks
working for various agencies offering
glossy brochures ranging in subjects from
population and job growth to transportation
and county trends. Empty large tables sat in
the middle of it all. Would this be where we
would sit to hear the topics discussed? As it
turned out, no.
A single glance around the room and those
in the know could pick out the handful of
folks who showed up to ask the hard questions. Then, of course, there were the diceholders, who made sure the game was played
their way. Anyone else was there to be educated, so no worries of getting called on the
carpet for an abject failure to holistically
address growth plans. Instead, the newbies
tried to absorb the multitudes of handouts
showing lots of green space, pie charts and
optimistic plans for our future.
One person looked over a handful of these
materials and said, I learned nothing but
vague generalities. The information within
appeared to be much like campaign materials. Lots of promise with no real detail of
when or how it would happen, or who would
pay for it all. There were highlighted statements like, Development that ts your

community! or
Planning delivers big
returns! Returns to who,
I wondered?
A former mayor of an
adjacent city and I shared
a discussion with the
Metropolitan
Transportation
Commission representative. The main concern we voiced was that
transportation and infrastructure were light
years behind the planned housing development. The representative asked, What infrastructure, particularly? I answered, ALL of
it, as I proceeded to enumerate our crowded
schools, 100-year-old sewer system, lack of
any trafc mitigation, poor east-west public
transportation, etc. This was news to her,
underscoring that the people at all of these
tables knew their own stuff, but little to
nothing about what was going on with the
agency next to them, much less within individual impacted cities.
The MTC representative did share that they
were getting ready to crunch their budget
numbers again. The last time, she said, 90
percent of its budget was set aside for maintaining what they already had. That left 10
percent to invest in anything that would
serve this growth. Ouch.
I did see a handout regarding grants, and
hoped it might take some of the burden off
the taxpayers. It stated that these grants are
rewarding jurisdictions that accept housing
allocations (numbers of residential unit
developments handed out to each Bay Area
city via a Plan Bay Area-afliated agency)
through the Regional Housing Need
Allocation. So, cities pushing back against
any of this buildout due to ill-prepared infrastructure or quality of life concerns do not

Guest
perspectives
receive these funds, and additionally (as in
the case of at least nine Bay Area cities),
open themselves up to lawsuits from developers for non-compliance, too. (For this and
more information about cities planning for
Plan Bay Area growth, see Palo Altos handy
reference document at
www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/lebank/do
cuments/30834.)
The bottom line is that there was a lot of
pomp and circumstance, trotting out all the
best-laid plans, when it was quite apparent
that each agency was there to represent
itself. Not exactly collaborative. Any public input or discussion took place only as
you approached each table, and the majority
of that input was based on the glossy
brochures, which certainly didnt include any
downside. I know those agency representatives arent bad folks, but I have to worry
about such grandiose plans being hammered
out independently. I cant see that resulting
in anything good. As that former mayor
pointed out to me, All this is like putting
up a roof when the house isnt built. But
nobody really seems to notice.

More housing provides sustainable opportunities

By Janet Borgens and Kaia Eakin

t is often said that all politics is local.

And nowadays local politics is more
local than ever. Take The San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors recent study
session on affordable housing. As residents
described debilitating rent hikes, overcrowded apartments and myriad housing hardships,
the supervisors voted to implement 10 progressive policies for more affordable housing. The ink was barely dry on their vote tallies before San Carlos issued a report recommending it establish its own housing authority to create more affordable housing for its
low income and aging residents. And in
January, Burlingame, at the behest of deeply
concerned renters, (over half the residents
are renters according to San Mateo County
Supervisor Dave Pine) held a study session
and public forum on housing policy. Last
summer, Redwood City held an in-depth
study session to explore housing issues and
constraints. These initiatives are worthy
attempts to get ahead of a very serious and
growing problem. But it is not nearly
enough.

inequality in the United

wrestling with what exactly to do
with my front lawn, I decided to take
the bold step and completely remove it and

Now when I say replace, thats really a
stretch because the lawn has been quite dead
for a while. That tends to happen when you
dont water it for almost two years, or
maybe its 18 months. Either way, its been
a while and the lawn was taking a terrible
turn for the worse. Last year about this
time, I had a devil spawn of a lawn that was
a mix of weeds and grass that could pass for
a California drought style lawn. It said, I
want a nice-looking front yard, but I recognize that we are in a drought, I am doing my
part.
This winter,
clover took
over and I was
able to mow it
so it looked
somewhat like a
lawn, albeit
struggling. At
least it was
neat. Then the
clover died, as
it is apt to do
this time of
year and it was
then a barren
landscape of
horror. Devil weeds and dirt. An empty 40ounce bottle of malt liquor would look at
home resting on it. It was vacant lot-esque.
All I needed was a chain-link fence with
holes cut into it.
I had enough. So the rst step was to
weed whack all the weeds and return the
small patch of earth back to its naked state.
Easy enough. It looked better, but still
weird. I thought about putting in some
wooden stakes and connect them with
orange string so perhaps passersby with
just think, theres something going on
here. But that would only work for a couple
of weeks then people would be on to me.
No, I had to do something. So I changed
the terrain to one with small peaks and valleys and decided right then and there I would
go native. But how? Surprisingly, there are
many examples of online native plant front
yards that look fantastic and well, expensive. So I made the trek to Golden Nursery
and decided to look around. The Golden
Nursery folks are wise to the ways of the
drought and have a large selection of
drought-resistant and drought-tolerant
plants, most from California. I loaded up
the atbed with a variety of native grass
and creeping groundcover, along with a few
owering plants all that purportedly
need very little water. A few hours later of
digging and chopping roots of the giant
elm in front of my house and bam, the
plants were in, my back was killing me and
the mulch was ready to spread. After a short
break to both catch up with my mom on the
phone and catch my breath, I returned to the
mulching. About an hour later, I was done.
Gone native. No more mowing, very little watering and what I would call a fairly
nice and relatively inexpensive addition to
the front of the house. It looks a little
sparse since the plants will have to grow
into the space, and I guarantee the weeds
will return, but hopefully not en masse. Im
not looking forward to raking the leaves
come fall, but then maybe they will act as a
natural mulch. Maybe, one can hope. And
best of all, one bucket of the daughters
bath water seems to do the trick for each
and every plant.
The bottom line for me was that it was no
longer easy having a green lawn, and there
is an alternative. True it took more hours
than I care to admit, but I hope it will be
well worth it.

NEW YORK Stocks rose moderately Thursday in relatively quiet trading, a

that stock prices might be too high.
The bigger action was in the bond

the afternoon, sending benchmark
yields lower, a day after a flood of selling.
Yellen caught investors off-guard
Wednesday by saying stock values were
generally quite high. She was speaking response to a question about risks
to financial stability at a conference in
Washington.
Historically, Fed officials do not usually offer opinions about market levels. In the mid-1990s, stocks swooned
after
then-Fed chairman
Alan
Greenspan used the term irrational
exuberance when talking about the

Investors remain confused as to
where this market wants to go, said
Jonathan Corpina, a managing partner

Many investors agree that the U.S.

which are ultimately what stocks are

Hazy economy emerges ahead of jobs report

By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON When the government

reports Friday on job growth during April, it
could help clarify an increasingly nagging
question:
Just how strong is the U.S. economy?
The picture has grown hazier of late.
Employers added only 126,000 jobs in
March, ending a yearlong streak of monthly
gains above 200,000. For April, economists predict a rebound to 222,500 added
jobs.

Over the past few years, the United States
has served as a powerful engine for the
worlds economy. But on Thursday, the
International Monetary Fund predicted that
Asian economies would lead global growth
in 2015, in part thanks to recoveries in
India and Japan.
Since the year began, the U.S. economy
has sent signals of both potential strength
and potentially debilitating weakness.
Lower oil prices have forced cutbacks at
energy companies and the manufacturers
supplying them. The stronger dollar has
squashed export growth and held down corporate profits. Worker pay, a chronic drag
on U.S. growth, has yet to rise significantly for many.

but those expectations were low in the

first place.
Now, with Yellens comments, some
analysts say stocks are unlikely to
advance much further from here.
Investors are paying about $17 for
every dollar of earnings in the Standard
& Poors 500, not excessively high but
still above the $15 that investors have
historically paid for similar results.

us moving sideways for a while, said
Wayne Wilbanks, chief investment
officer at Wilbanks, Smith, Thomas in
Norfolk, Va., which manages about
$2.4 billion in assets.
The Dow rose 82.08 points, or 0.5
percent, to 17,924.06, effectively erasing the losses from the previous prior.
The S&P 500 rose 7.85 points, or 0.4
percent, to 2,088 and the Nasdaq composite index rose 25.90 points, or 0.5
percent, to 4,945.54.
Even with todays gains, the major
indexes are down between 0.6 percent
and 1.2 percent for the week.
The next big thing on investors
plates will be the April jobs report,
which comes out Friday. Economists
expect U.S. employers added 215,000
jobs in April and the unemployment
rate ticked down to 5.4 percent. The
March jobs report was much weaker
than Wall Street had anticipated, so
economists and investors are going to
be looking for any significant revi-

Wearable fitness tracker

maker Fitbit files for $100M IPO
NEW YORK Fitbit, the maker of a popular line of wearable fitness-tracking devices,
on Thursday filed for an initial public offering worth up to $100 million.
Fitbits watch-sized devices can track how
many steps a wearer takes and estimate how
many calories they are burning, how far
theyve traveled, and how long theyve been
active. More advanced devices can track
sleep duration and quality, heart rate and running speed, and they can be synced up with
smartphone apps.
The San Francisco companys basic Zip
activity tracker costs $59.95, while its Surge
super watch costs $249.95. Fitbit also
makes a Wi-Fi-enabled scale that records data
like body fat in addition to weight.
Fitbit says it has sold almost 21 million
devices since 2011, but more than half of
those sales were made in 2014. The company
reported $745.4 million in revenue in 2014,

sions to the previous numbers.

The bond market had a neck-twisting
day as bond prices rose sharply. The
yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell
to 2.19 percent from 2.25 percent late
Wednesday, an unusually large move.
Among individual companies, Whole
Foods Market lost $4.65, or 10 percent, to $43.07 after the companys
reported sales growth for the first quarter that was weaker than analysts had
expected.
Yelp jumped $8.79, or 23 percent, to
$47.01 after The Wall Street Journal
reported that the online review website
is exploring a sale.
In energy markets, oil fell more than
3 percent because of gains in the U.S.
dollar, which makes oil more expensive
for holders of other currencies.
U.S. oil dropped $1.99, or 3.3 percent, to $58.94 per barrel. That marked
the biggest drop in U.S. oil since April
8. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by U.S. refineries to
make gasoline, fell $2.23 to $65.54
per barrel.
In trading in other energy futures,
wholesale gasoline fell 4.6 cents to
$1.99 per gallon, heating oil dropped
5.4 cents to $1.962 per gallon and natural gas fell 4.2 cents to $2.734 per

Rodriguez back on top for CSM

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

CSM leadoff hitter Melina Rodriguez had a

34-game hitting streak between 2014 and 15.

College of San Mateo softballs leadoff

hitter Melina Rodriguez was likely en route
to a state batting crown when catastrophic
injury struck.
The Lady Bulldogs sophomore was sitting atop the state leader board in batting
average on Feb. 28 when she played her last
game in over a month. Following a firstinning single against College of the
Sequoias, Rodriguez advanced to third base

on a bunt by Kayleen Smith. But as the

Bulldogs sparkplug barreled into third with
a hook slide, she felt an excruciating pop in
her shoulder.
It was clear Rodriguez had suffered a dislocated shoulder. She knew immediately what
the problem was, as two weeks prior she had
experienced a similar mishap, though not
nearly as serious.
The second time it actually popped out of
the socket all the way, Rodriguez said. It
hurt for a while. It was out for a quick second. Then it popped back in. They said if it

hadnt have popped back in, it would have

been worse.
Rodriguez went on to miss 13 games, the
most downtime shes ever experienced in
her softball career. The first 48 hours were
the scariest as no one in the CSM mix knew
what the future held for her. Three days later
though, the diagnosis confirmed Rodriguez
would likely be available to return before
the end of the season.
And until her return April 2 against De Anza,

Knights cap unbeaten Ocean run Itseason
in the NFL
By Terry Bernal

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

There was plenty of drama in the final week of the

Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division regular season for league champ Hillsdale baseball.
Tuesdays 2-0 walk-off win over San Mateo was the
talk of the town, with star senior Ro Mahanty capping a
one-hit shutout with a dramatic two-run home run in the
bottom of the seventh inning.
Thursdays finale again went down to the final at-bat.
In the end, the Knights kept an 8-5 lead in check for the
victory. With the win, Hillsdale (14-0 in PAL Ocean, 261 overall) closes the regular season riding a 22-game
winning streak while finishing atop the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division with an undefeated
league record.
I expect these games against anyone we play from
here on out, Hillsdale manager James Madison said.
Everyone is getting up to play their best game against
us. So, we dont expect anything less. Were excited that
were playing in these types of games. We roll into the
playoffs next week. I think its going to help us.
Like many of the Knights players, utility man Andrew
Yarak has never experienced a season quite like this one.
Playing baseball since he was 7, Yarak said he had one
Little League season in which his team finished in first
place. But this season is a first-place finish of another
breed entirely.
Yarak is the epitome of a high school utility player.
He pitches. He hits. He plays a variety of positions in
the field. And as both the Knights closer and their
cleanup hitter, the junior excelled in every element of
his game Thursday.

Haren a one-man show as Marlins down Giants

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO After a game when

he did just about everything for the Miami
Marlins, Dan Haren has more than earned
some rest.
Haren drove in two runs, scored two more
and took a shutout bid into the seventh
inning to lead almost single-handedly the
Miami Marlins to a 7-2 victory over the San
Francisco Giants on Thursday night.
That was the most running Ive done in a
few months, Haren said. I usually have to
go on the bike. I dont know if Ill be walking around San Francisco tomorrow. Ill be
taking it easy.

Marcell Ozuna added a

two-run homer off Tim
Hudson (1-3), Giancarlo
Stanton drove in two runs
and Dee Gordon had three
hits to help the Marlins
win for the 14th time in
their last 19 games in
San Francisco.
But Haren (4-1) was the
Dan Haren
real star. He hit a two-run
double and scored later in the second and
added a single and run scored in the fifth. He
did the rest of his work on the mound, allowing two runs and eight hits in seven innings
to extend his strong start to his Marlins
career after contemplating retirement fol-

he NFL moves heaven and earth a

dozen times every Sunday of the
season to get calls on the field
exactly right.
But investigations and disciplinary
matters?
Not so much. In those cases, close is
apparently close enough.
At the end of a nearly four-month
investigation into whats been dubbed
Deflategate or
Ballghazi, NFLappointed investigator Ted Wells arrived
at more or less
the same conclusions most of us did
at the beginning.
A) A Patriots ball
boy did it.
B) He had inside
help.
C) Despite repeated denials, golden
boy quarterback Tom
Brady master-minded
the whole thing.
Being a lawyer,
Wells needed 243
pages to say as much. And he couched
those conclusions in less-accusatory
terms, such as more probable than not
and was at least generally aware.
That way, Brady and everybody else in
the Patriots organization but the two
low-level employees officials locker
room attendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski wouldnt be bothered to enter a plea. Only in
NFL investigations and no-fault divorces
does that kind of cynicism count as sound
legal advice.
But Wells turn of phrase wasnt entirely
about convenience. It turns out more
probable than not is the exact phrase the
NFL put to paper a half-dozen years ago in
case commissioner Roger Goodell decides
to step in and punish teams for what were
deemed competitive violations.
Those have ranged from Spygate in
New England to Bountygate in New
Orleans to piping in fake crowd noise
(Cheergate?) in Atlanta, and the

lowing his offseason trade from the Dodgers

to Miami.
Hes a great competitor, manager Mike
Redmond said. Ive seen that his whole
career. He went out there today and he just
doesnt make a ton of mistakes out over the
plate. He doesnt give in. Usually those
guys who are like that are very successful.
Hudson allowed six runs and a career-high
15 hits in 6 2/3 innings as the Giants lost
their second straight after winning 10 of the
previous 13. Hudson had won his previous
six starts against the Marlins before allowing the most hits by a Giants pitcher since

Blackhawks Man who beat Stow gets 3 more years prison

sweep Wild
By Brian Melley

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PAUL, Minn. Corey Crawford made

34 saves, Patrick Kane had a goal and an
assist, and the Chicago Blackhawks
advanced to the Western Conference finals
with a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild
on Thursday night for a four-game sweep.
The Wild never led in the series. Goals by
Jared Spurgeon and Nino Niederreiter with
2:18 and 1:27 left gave them one last shot,
with their net emptied. The final few whacks
were either wide or turned aside by Crawford,
who stopped 124 of 131 shots in the four
games.
Brent Seabrook and Andrew Shaw scored
for the Blackhawks, who were down to five
defensemen after a serious injury to veteran
Michal Roszival. Marian Hossa had a long
empty-netter, and Jonathan Toews and
Bryan Bickell had two assists apiece.
Chicago eliminated Minnesota from the
playoffs for the third straight year. It won
12 of the 15 games.
It was the first sweep by the Blackhawks
since the Western Conference finals in 2010
against San Jose. They improved to 30-0,
including 5-0 in this postseason, when
leading after two periods.

Canadiens 6, Lightning 2

LOS ANGELES A felon who seriously

beat a San Francisco Giants fan outside
Dodger Stadium was sentenced Thursday to
six years in prison for a weapons conviction unrelated to the attack.
Louie Sanchez, 33, who is serving an
eight-year state prison term in the savage
beating of Bryan Stow, will serve about
three additional years behind bars under the
terms of the sentence.
Sanchez apologized for his crime to
society as a whole, his family and, particularly, his teenage son, who sat with family
members wiping away tears as they watched
from the gallery in U.S. District Court.
Prosecutors had sought an additional
eight-year federal prison sentence, while
defense lawyers asked for one additional
year in custody.
Stow was not directly connected to the
federal case and wasnt in court, but both
lawyers and the judge referred to the attack.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Max Shiner said
Sanchezs letter to the court asserted he was
a changed man, but that the ostensible apology to Stow showed he didnt understand the

identical gun charge in two weeks.

The Stow beating focused attention on
security at the Los Angeles stadium and led
to a $14 million jury verdict against the
Dodgers for the former Santa Cruz paramedic
who was disabled from brain damage suffered in the attack.
Shiner said in court papers that Sanchezs
legal troubles dated to his teens and continued into adulthood when he was convicted of
spousal abuse, firearms charges and drunken
driving.
Sanchez stood next to his lawyer in a
white prison jumpsuit with his hands shackled at his waist. He didnt appear to show
any motion, in contrast to his state prison
sentencing when he drew a sharp rebuke
from the judge for smirking.
Family members and friends filed a dozen
letters in support of Sanchez. Many said he
was a good family man and hard worker.
Defense lawyer Angel Navarro said
Sanchez should complete his state term in
June 2018 and then will need to serve about
three years in federal prison.
After he is released, he will be on the federal equivalent of parole for three years.

Early lead doesnt hold up for As in Minnesota

By Jon Krawczynski
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS An impromptu dance

party broke out in the Minnesota Twins
clubhouse after their latest victory, which
may seem a little silly for a win over the
Oakland Athletics in May.
Considering this is a franchise coming
off of four straight 90-loss seasons and
started the season 1-6, it makes a little more
sense.
Eddie Rosario drove in two runs and Glen
Perkins got four outs for his 10th save to
help the Twins beat the Athletics 6-5 on
Thursday and improve to three games over
.500 for the first time since the end of the
2010 season.
Eduardo Escobar also drove in two runs,
and the Twins (16-13) overcame a rough
start from Ricky Nolasco to win for the seventh time in eight games. Nolasco (2-1)
gave up four runs and six hits in five
innings, but the Twins still finished their
longest homestand of the season at 8-3 and
are an AL-best 12-5 at home this year.
We had this confidence from Week 1, its
just hard to show it with a 1-6 record, third
baseman Trevor Plouffe said. We knew we
could do it. But talk is cheap. You have to go
out there and win. Thats what weve been
doing lately.
Drew Pomeranz (1-3) walked a career-high
five while giving up six runs four earned
and three hits in 4 1-3 innings for the
Athletics. Ike Davis had a homer, a double
and two RBIs, and Billy Butler added two
hits and an RBI.
Rosario was called up on Tuesday to
replace the injured Oswaldo Arcia, and the
Twins said at the time it likely would be a

Sept. 28, 1968, against Cincinnati.
Pretty much the difference in the game
was their starting pitcher offensively,
Hudson said. If I can just get him out then
we have a pretty good chance to win the
ballgame.
Haren came up for the first time with two
on and two out in the second and hit a drive
to right-center that gave Miami a 2-0 lead.
He scored when Gordon doubled for his 50th
hit of the season.

short-term stay. But in

his first big-league at-bat
on Wednesday night, he
homered on the first
pitch he saw, jumpstarting the Twins to a 13-0
romp. Rosario followed
that up on Thursday with
a sacrifice fly in the second inning and a sharp
single in the fourth that

tied the game at 4.

Its a good first couple of games for
him, manager Paul Molitor said. Hes
kind of feeling his way, but he looks fairly
confident.
Pomeranz was done in by a lack of control
and some sloppy Oakland defense. A throwing error by second baseman Brett Lawrie
allowed Escobar to score during
Minnesotas three-run second inning, and
shortstop Eric Sogard bobbled a ground ball
for an error in the fifth that led to another
run.
Pomeranz left after walking two of the
first three batters in the fifth inning. Dan
Otero walked Kennys Vargas before Escobar
punched a single through the right side of
the infield to give the Twins a 6-4 lead.
Pretty much beat myself out there,
Pomeranz said. Gave up three hits and six
runs, that should never happen. I wasnt
attacking guys like I wouldve liked to.

Carew had 53 in 1983. Gordon, who came
from the Dodgers in a seven-player deal
with Haren, is batting .437 for the season.
Hes been a huge lift for us at the top of
the order, Redmond said. This guy is
locked in.

NEW YORK Alex Rodriguez has passed

Thursday night an at-bat after he was robbed
of the milestone drive by a leaping catch.
The Yankees star hit a
drive off Baltimores

in the first that Delmon
Young caught by reaching over the top of the

Mark Teixeira stepped out of the batters

Spieth sputters
in star group at
Players tourney
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. The

biggest star at The Players Championship
was not Rory McIlroy or Jordan Spieth
playing together in the morning. And it
wasnt Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods in
back-to-back groups in the afternoon.
It was the TPC Sawgrass all day long in
another round of big numbers, curious shots
and endless entertainment.
Charley Hoffman was among four players
tied for the lead at 5-under 67. He was
thrilled with his eight birdies, the most of
anyone Thursday. What turned a great day
into a very good one was that triple bogey
out of nowhere right after he made the turn.
How does one make a 7 on the usually
harmless first hole?
Pardon my French, Hoffman began,
before using a familiar English word not fit
for print to describe all seven of his bad
shots. In fairness, the seventh shot was
good. He made a 4-foot putt to keep it from
being an 8.
David Hearn of Canada, Hideki
Matsuyama of Japan and Kevin Na also had
67. Each made only one bogey. It was boring, which never hurts around here.
McIlroy also had a boring round by his
standards two birdies, an eagle, one
bogey for a 69.
Spieth wasnt so fortunate. He was 40
yards away from the green at the par-5 11th
and used a wedge three times to get on the
green. That doesnt explain the horrible lie
he had in the grass, followed by the lie in
the sand just below the lip of the bunker. He

Ed Reed retires a Raven

OWINGS MILLS, Md. Ed Reed came
into the NFL as a member of the Baltimore
Ravens, and now hes leaving as one.
The nine-time Pro Bowl safety formally
announced his retirement Thursday after
signing one final contract with the team
that drafted him 24th overall in the 2002
draft.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

NFL briefs
Reed played 11 seasons in Baltimore
before splitting time with Houston and
the New York Jets in 2012. He did not
play last season.
Reed was the 2004 NFL Defensive Player
of the Year, and his 1,590 yards on interception returns are the most in league history.

Titans linebacker Wimbley retires

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Titans linebacker
Kamerion Wimbley says hes retiring from
the NFL after nine seasons to spend more
time with his family.
Wimbley was a first-round draft pick by
Cleveland in 2006 at No. 13 overall and
played four seasons with the Browns before
being traded to Oakland in 2010.

KNIGHTS
Continued from page 11
Yarak reached base in each of his four
plate appearances, highlighted by a threerun double in the second. He also emerged in
relief of starting pitcher Adam Schembri,
firing two innings of shutout ball stranding two runners on with the potential tying
run at the plate to end it to earn the save
in support of Schembris eighth win of the
season.
[Yarak] is pitching with a chip (on his
shoulder), Madison said. The only loss on
the record is his loss, and he pitched well [in
that game]. Hes done well.
The highlight of Yaraks afternoon,
though, was a defensive gem to close the
fifth inning. With the Knights clinging to a
6-5 lead, San Mateo had the potential tying
run at second base when Kevin Jacobs shot
a ball into the right-center field gap. Yarak
got a good jump and made a tumbling catch
to preserve the lead.
Im feeling pretty amped up right now,
Yarak said following the game. It was an
intense last couple of innings. I could play
games all day like this. This is why I love
baseball so much. This is what I look forward to.
After jumping out to a 5-0 lead in the early
inning, it looked as though Hillsdale was
going to be able to put the game on cruise
control. The Knights scored two in the first
with an RBI single from Anthony Leary followed by David Badet being hit by a pitch
with the bases loaded.

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

San Mateo catcher Joe Veglak, right, turns the front end of a double play as Hillsdales Riki
Urata slides late into home in the fourth inning of Thursdays PAL Ocean Division finale.
Then in the second, Ryan Fong led off
with a double up the gap. After a pair of
walks loaded the bases, Yarak drilled a oneout double to left to clear them.
With the bases loaded my prime
objective was to get a ball in the air to get a
run in, hopefully going opposite field,
Yarak said. But I got lucky and got a pitch
right down the middle, what you want as a
hitter. And I just took it and hit it hard, and
good things happened.
San Mateo started chipping away at the
lead with a run in the bottom of the inning
though. Then trailing 6-1 in the fourth, the
Bearcats scored two in the fourth and two
more in the fifth. Joe Veglak had a two-run
double in the fourth. In the fifth,. Ryan
Fujinaga doubled home a run then later
scored on an infield error, closing the lead
to 6-5.
But Hillsdale responded with two runs in
the top of the sixth for some breathing
room. Riki Urata and Leary tabbed back-toback hits to start the frame. Then Urata
scored on an infield error. Leary later scored
from third on a squeeze bunt by Badet to cap

the days scoring.

For San Mateo (1-11, 6-17), the loss
marks the end of a disappointing season
after moving up from the PAL Lake Division
after last season.
Its been a tough year injury wise, San
Mateo manager Nick Sanzeri said. But
theyre a good group. Theyre really tenacious. So, Im really proud of them for
that.
The silver lining for San Mateo is
Fujinaga recently accepted a partial athletic
scholarship to Holy Names University. A
four-year varsity player, Fujinaga moved off
the catcher position this season due to
injury. He went on to function as a utility
player himself, appearing as a pitcher, a
first baseman, a shortstop and even one
game as a right fielder.
For the Knights, who clinched the PAL
Ocean Division title three weeks ago, the
inspiration to not let up had much to do with
the winning streak, according to Madison.
Youre searching for something to play
for and we had the streak, going undefeated
in the Ocean pushing us, Madison said.

Ex-cup executive planning 12m regatta in S.F. Pharoah

preps for
Preakness
By Bernie Wilson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO A former Americas Cup

executive is launching a new international
regatta, the Golden Gate Yacht Racing
Challenge, which will be sailed annually on
San Francisco Bay beginning in July 2017
in an updated version of the venerable 12meter class.
Tom Ehman, who most recently had been
with the Americas Cup Event Authority,
said he wants to restore stability and style
to yacht racing. The regatta will offer yacht
racings largest purse, $500,000; have a
strict nationality rule; and be contested in
the strong, steady breeze that blows in
through the Golden Gate Bridge.
Ehman said he envisions the Golden Gate
Challenge as the Wimbledon of yacht racing in that it will be held every year at the
same venue. Unlike the Americas Cup, all
teams will be challengers, meaning theyll
start on equal footing each year.
The Golden Gate Yacht Racing Challenge
is being planned at a time when the
Americas Cup has lost some of its luster
and is being criticized by many in sailing
for abandoning its traditions.
Oracle Team USA, then based in San
Francisco, successfully defended the
Americas Cup in 2013 in one of the greatest comebacks in sports, in 72-foot catamarans. When San Francisco officials didnt
offer the same terms for the next regatta, cup
officials put the venue up for bid and picked
Bermuda. Teams and the event itself are

CSM
Continued from page 11
Rodriguez maintained her day-in, day-out cornerstone presence.
She wasnt able to practice, but she was
there every day, CSM freshman Harlee
Donovan said.
It was Donovan who filled in at first base
for Rodriguez. A high school catcher at Half
Moon Bay who moved to third base at CSM
this season, Donovan had never played first
base before.
I wasnt comfortable at all, Donovan
said. I was nervous the whole time.
So, Rodriguez worked with her on a daily
basis in practice, and served as a vocal
leader by coaching Donovan from the bench
during games. All the while, despite having
one arm immobilized, Rodriguez was working diligently to get back onto the dia-

struggling to secure
sponsorships to offset
the staggering cost of
competing.
Ehman said he hopes to
attract team owners who
have been priced out of the
Americas Cup or turned
off by recent turmoil.
This is an opportuniTom Ehman
ty to do something for
the sport and the former cup community,
Ehman said from San Francisco.
Italian billionaire Patrizio Bertelli recently pulled his Luna Rossa Challenge out of
the Americas Cup after an unprecedented
mid-course move to reduce the size of the
catamarans for 2017. Emirates Team New
Zealand and Team France are struggling to
raise money. If they drop out, there will be
only three challengers.
Frenchman Bruno Trouble, an Americas
Cup skipper during the 12-meter era who
helped found the Louis Vuitton Cup for challengers in 1983, recently said the Americas
Cup has turned into a vulgar beach event
smelling of sunscreen and french fries.
Ehman said hes working to secure event
sponsors and teams.
I think this is the best venue in the world
for showcasing yacht racing and that was
shown in the last cup, he said. Theres a
crying need in the world of yacht racing for
such an event, especially in monohulls and
especially in a lot of breeze. Were seeing
that because of whats happening or not
happening in other parts of the sport and in

mond.
I would be in the training room just
strengthening my arm, Rodriguez said. I
would still hit with one arm and just leave
the other one in my sling.
During Rodriguezs absence, the Bulldogs
faced their two toughest tests en route to an
undefeated 35-0 record in regular-season
play. On March 5, they edged San Joaquin
Delta 4-3. A week later, on March 12, they
downed Cabrillo 1-0. The victories were the
only two one-run games CSM played in all
season.
It was hard. I think we definitely missed
her, Donovan said. But knowing we could
hang in there without her was huge. And
having her back now, its even better.
Rodriguez was an instant splash upon her
return. In a 16-0 win over DeAnza April 2,
she led off with a single and went on to a 2for-3 day, extending a hitting streak, dating
back to last season, to 29 games.
Mentally-wise, I was a hundred percent,
Rodriguez said. I was ready to play and was

other parts of the world.

While Ehman hopes to attract some bigname owners and skippers, the star of the
regatta could be the 12-meters. They were
used in what many consider the golden era
of the Americas Cup, from 1958-87, when
bigger-than-life personalities such as
Dennis Conner and Ted Turner dominated
racing held in Newport, Rhode Island, and
then Fremantle, Australia.
The 12-meter era ended when Conner won
back the Americas Cup in the big wind and
waves off Fremantle in 1987.
Ehman remains vice commodore of the
Golden Gate Yacht Club, which is the
Americas Cup trustee. He said his regatta is
not affiliated with the GGYC and wont
compete with the Americas Cup.
I think the Americas Cup is off on its
own and always has been, Ehman said. The
Americas Cup will survive the current situation. There is obviously strong interest in
monohull racing with strong teams, in boats
everyone has heard of and loves. There is a
nostalgia and romance with the 12-meters,
and to have those boats racing in a lot of
breeze on San Francisco Bay where people
can watch it, it will remind people of how
great the Americas Cup was in Fremantle in
1987 in windy conditions in 12s.
Ehman said hes having designers look at
modernizing the 12s and hopes to keep the
cost below $3 million per boat. All boats
would have the same hull shape, which
would make the regatta a test of sailing skill
rather than a design competition, helping
to hold down costs.

Belarus records first victory

over U.S. at ice hockey worlds
By Karel Janicek
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PRAGUE Belarus beat the

United States for the first time 5-2 at
the ice hockey world championship
on Thursday.
Also, the host Czech Republic
bounced back from a loss to Canada
with a 5-1 win over France for its
second victory.
Following five losses to the
Americans, Belarus milestone win
in Ostrava was its third in the group
stage, and a major step to advance to
the quarterfinals for the second
straight year.
Belarus tops Group B after four
games with 10 points, one ahead of
the U.S. and Russia.
The top four teams in each of the
two groups of eight will advance to
the quarterfinals.
The Czechs are fourth in Group A
with seven points. Canada leads

shot a 75, matching his worst
score of the year.
Woods hit a tee shot on a par 3
that went into the water, which is
not unusual. But it wasnt on the
island-green at the 17th. It was at
No. 8, with a clunker that found a
creek some 40 yards short of the
green. Woods didnt even know
there was water on that hole.
At least one player made a 7 or
worse on 10 of the holes on the
Stadium Course. Brooks Koepka
made a 7 on the 17th by putting
two balls into the water. And then
he made an 8 on the next hole by
putting only one ball in the water.
He played the other 16 holes in 1
under.
The Stadium Course at the TPC
Sawgrass holds a certain mystique
after more than three decades.
Even in reasonable conditions

no one fared better than a 67.
After 12 hours of theater that
Sawgrass so often provides, they

There was more energy than

Switzerland with eight.
After a scoreless first period
between Belarus and the U.S., Artur
Gavrus and Artyom Volkov scored 70
seconds apart in the second period,
and captain Alexander Kitarov added
a third for a commanding 3-0 lead.
It was too much for the Americans
to overcome, especially with goaltender Kevin Lalande having a good
game making 28 saves, including a
big stop in the second to deny
Jimmy Vesey on a breakaway.
Brock Nelson finally scored for
the U.S. before the end of the second, but a pair in the third by captain
Alexei Kalyuzhny, around his twominute penalty for hooking, sealed
Belarus historic day.

usual for a Thursday morning,
especially with Woods and
Mickelson (73) playing in the
afternoon. McIlroy is No. 1 in the
world and coming off a win at the
Match Play Championship, while
Spieth became the de facto challenger with a dominant Masters
win that moved him to No. 2 in the
world.
They warmed up next to each
other on the range. And it was
clear from the start this day would
be a solid one for McIlroy, not so
much for Spieth. Along for the ride
was Jason Day, who isnt exactly
on the B-list of rising stars. Day,
who jokingly described himself as
the third wheel, had a 69 with a
double bogey on the 18th.
Big numbers can be found anywhere, though. Hoffman didnt see
his coming.
The 18th hole was no picnic
after a long day. Mickelson hit the
wooden plank and went into the
water for a double bogey. He shot
73 with five birdies. Adam Scott
wasted a reasonable start by finding water for a double bogey on
the 18th. Woods hit into the water

penalties have been all over the place.
If this is beginning to sound like your typical NCAA mess without the phony student-athlete mantra, of course theres a
good reason. The Patriots are a lot like coach
Barry Switzers great Oklahoma teams of
four decades ago: Theyre always in the hunt
for a championship, and occasionally willing to bend the rules to get there.
Throw in the us-against-the-world philosophy and what you wind up with is an
organization bothered more by losing than
cheating. Or in NCAA parlance, a lack of
institutional control.
Given his track record, expecting Goodell
to get the discipline right in whats become
a delicate situation might be too much of an
ask. He was too secretive in Spygate, getting rid of the evidence too soon, then
overzealous in Bountygate, before being
rescued from further embarrassment by his
predecessor-acting-as-arbitrator, Paul
Tagliabue. And there isnt time to recap how
badly Goodell bungled a string of domesticabuse cases involving players that began
with Ray Rice.
For their part, the Patriots havent exactly
behaved like slick jewel thieves or shining
lights, either.
Owner Robert Kraft whined there was no
incontrovertible proof, but agreed to
accept the NFLs findings and any leagueimposed discipline. At least hes not
demanding an apology anymore. Wells also

cleared coach Bill Belichick and his staff,

though it was almost unnecessary. After
Spygate, Belichick learned not to leave
his fingerprints on anything dicey again.
But not Brady.
He denied knowing McNally and refused to
share to his own emails, text messages and
phone records. But the report noted, ...
McNally told NFL Security that he had been
personally told by Brady of Bradys inflation-level preference. So while Kraft once
boasted that Brady never lied to him, Wells
concluded to borrow his phrase one more
time, it was more probable than not
that Brady lied to them.
This whole episode would be comical,
except that it raises questions about the
integrity of the Patriots and Brady, one of
the greatest teams and quarterback of any era.
And dont forget: Whatever advantage they
gained from a slightly under-inflated football
was negligible. In both the second half
against the Colts in a playoff game, and then
against a much-vaunted Seattle defense in the
Super Bowl when the game balls were
watched over, cuddled and obsessed over like
a royal baby Brady completed 12-of -14
passes with three touchdowns, and 37-of-50
with four TDs, respectively.
But if hes in the starting lineup for New
Englands opener Sept. 10, when the Patriots
plan to show off that Super Bowl trophy to a
packed Gillette Stadium crowd, it will be a
joke. Anything less than four games a
quarter of the season will be.
Taking away draft picks and-or fining the
franchise arent necessary to make the point.
Sometimes the easiest way to teach people
the importance of a level playing field is
simply to tilt it and let them see what it
looks like from the wrong end.

Despite good
acting, The D
Train unfunny
By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The problem with The D Train isnt the performances. Jack Black, James Marsden, Kathryn Hahn and
Jeffrey Tambor are wonderful in their respective roles.
The issue is the story. Its not just uneven, its often unfunny:
tinged with homophobia and centered on a wholly unlikeable,
self-absorbed man.
Dan Landsman (Black) is serious about his Pennsylvania
high schools 20th reunion and considers himself chairman of
its organizing committee. He yearns desperately to be liked, but
comes across as bossy and uncooperative, so when the group
goes out for beers after committee meetings, they leave him
behind.
Otherwise, Dans life looks pretty good. He seems happily
married to his lovely, supportive wife (Hahn), has an
admiring teenage son (talented newcomer Russell
Posner) and works for a trusting, encouraging boss (Tambor).
Watching TV late one night, Dan
spots his reunion solution: He sees a
commercial starring a former classmate,
the handsome and popular Oliver Lawless (Marsden), and decides if he can
bring the now-actor back to their hometown, hell be in with the in-crowd,
the hero of the reunion.
Dan lies to his wife and his boss about a fake business prospect in Los
Angeles so he can talk to Lawless in person. By the time they meet, Dan is
first-date nervous. He cant see that Lawless is actually wasted and out of work.

Jack Black shifts

in a new direction
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK At an East Village restaurant over dinner recently, after

ordering mussels and selecting a white wine, Jack Black proffered a theatrical Gratzi to the waitress. He then leaned in expectantly, his gymnastic eyebrows raised, eagerly awaiting a response that didnt come.
She didnt say Prego, he said, slumping back into the booth,
crestfallen.
Black was in town to promote his latest film, The D Train, a
black comedy about a status-obsessed family man organizing
his high school reunion. Black had just come from taping
the Tonight Show, where he and Jimmy Fallon remade
the music video to the Extreme ballad More Than
Words..
Sitting down to eat, he bellows: If you want the
scoop, you got to feed the beast!
Four years ago, Black starred in Richard
Linklaters Bernie, a comedy about a true-life
tale of a beloved small-town Texas mortician
convicted of murder. The movie was smaller than Blacks normal output (Kung Fu
Panda, Gullivers Travels, Year One)
but it was acclaimed. Black, it turned out,
is an exceptional character actor.
I was like: I want to make more of
these movies that are weird and cool, he
says. No money because thats what
happens when you make a weird movie. I
was actively looking for more indie projects because of my experience on Bernie.
In between, Black made a record with his
outlandish rock act, Tenacious D, toured and
started a comedy-music festival, Festival
Supreme. Black started as a theater performer and has more range than hes sometimes credit for. Hes equally capable of
grandly playing an Internet porn king (in

S AN MATEO COUNTY HIGH

S CHOOL MOCK TRIAL PARTICIPANTS HONORED ON LAW DAY. Law
Day 2015 was celebrated May 1 at the
Crowne Plaza Hotel in Burlingame with a
San Mateo County Bar Association luncheon. The Hon. Susan L. Greenberg of the
San Mateo County Superior Court was the
speaker. The occasion featured the recognition of San Mateo County high school students who took part in the 2015 State of
California Mock Trial Competition and the
presentation of Mock Trial Awards. The San
Mateo County champion mock trial team is
from Menlo School in Atherton. This is
Menlos seventh county title overall, and
fth in a row.
In 1980, the Constitutional Rights
Foundation (CRF) created the Mock Trial
program to help students acquire a working
knowledge of the judicial system, develop
analytical abilities and communication
skills, and gain an understanding of their
obligations and responsibilities as participating members of society. Each year, CRF
creates and produces a new set of Mock Trial
materials based on an important issue facing Americas youth. The materials include a
hypothetical criminal case (including summaries of case law, witness statements, ofcial exhibits and simplied rules of evidence); lesson plans on the central issues in
the case; and competition rules and guidelines. With the assistance of teacher-sponsors and attorney coaches, CRFs Mock
Trial program engages over 8,000 studentparticipants across the state of California.
Students actively experience the excitement
of working in teams, exchanging ideas, setting goals and examining issues, while
interacting with positive role models from
their communities. By studying the case and

preparing strategies and arguments for trial,

students also develop presentation skills,
analytic ability and team cooperation. Each
year thousands of members from
Californias bar and bench volunteer their
time to make the Mock Trial an educational
and exciting experience for students.
Attorneys serve in a variety of roles, acting
as team coaches, scoring and presiding over
trials.

CALIFORNIA CELEBRATES JUROR
APPRECIATION WEEK. This year,
California celebrates the 18th anniversary
of Juror Appreciation Week. In 1998, the
California Legislature designated the second full week in May each year to honor the
important contributions of citizens who
devote their time and effort in making the
cherished right of trial by jury a reality and
to raise awareness about their contribution
to our courts. The Hon. Tani CantilSakauye, Chief Justice of California, said:
When I speak with jurors, they sometimes
ask whether I have ever been called for jury
service. The answer is yes, many times. Ive
been summoned for service and served as a
juror while working as an attorney, as a trial
court judge, and as an appellate justice.
Even Chief Justices are called to serve, and
we do. Serving on a jury is more than a civic
responsibility it is an opportunity for us

uphold them.

For marketers, e-sports enticing to reach millennials

By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RANCHO PALOS VERDES The latest

ally in competitive gamings fight for
mainstream awareness just might be marketers.
At an intimate, invite-only gathering
this week at a seaside resort, executives
from corporations such as AT&T, State Farm
and McDonalds were looking to electronic
sports to potentially capture new consumers. While e-sports now regularly draws
tens of millions of spectators both online
and in person, the genre continues to battle
for broader recognition in North America.
There is definitely an awareness issue
across mainstream elements, said Dustin
Beck, vice president of e-sports and merchandising at League of Legends publisher Riot Games. We want this to be a successful ecosystem for decades to come, and
that will be buoyed by having larger brands,
like those here, who become aware of esports and get involved in e-sports.
Beck was among the attendees Wednesday

at the sixth annual PTTOW summit, an

exclusive get-together of execs interested
in reaching young consumers. Other subjects discussed at PTTOW which stands
for Plan To Take On the World included
virtual reality, globalization and predictive
marketing, with e-sports among the summits most popular topics.
Our job is to tell people what they dont
know, said Roman Tsunder, co-founder and
CEO of PTTOW. Who wants to talk about
something everyone knows about?
Everyone here is the best in the world at
what they do, and e-sports was important to
include because enough people mentioned
it. Thats notable because theres $68 million of media investment in this room.
Over the past 10 years, the popularity of
e-sports has amplified as technology has
evolved, Internet speeds have become more
reliable and a generation of gamers has
grown up watching competitive bouts on
streaming video sites like Twitch and
YouTube. Earlier this year, a report released

McDonalds brings back the Hamburglar

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Based

McDonalds latest ad, it looks
like the Hamburglar settled down
in the
s ub urbs

on

and spent the last decade going to

youth soccer games and perfecting his
stubble.
The company is bringing the burger
thief back to its advertising after a 13year absence. On Wednesday,
McDonalds Corp. tweeted a 30-second ad featuring the Hamburglar, his
face unseen, flipping burgers in a
suburban backyard with his wife and
son. When he hears a radio ad for
McDonalds new burgers, he drops his
spatula in shock.
In April, McDonalds announced
that it is introducing a trio of
Sirloin Third Pound burgers
for a limited time, the latest
sign the chain is pushing to
improve perceptions about the
quality of its food. In
Wednesdays ad, those burgers
lure the Hamburglar out of his
quiet retirement.
Publicity photos reveal a grown

man in a more fashionable version of

the old costume, including a black
trenchcoat and fedora with a yellow
band. The previous version of the
character appeared to be a mischievous child dressed in an old time
black-and-white prisoners uniform
with a hat and cape.
McDonalds is working to turn
around its business, which has seen
sales and customer visits decline due
to tough competition and the perception that its food is low quality. This
year the company has announced a
simplified grilled chicken recipe and
said it will curb the use of antibiotics
in its chicken, among other changes.
The Oak Brook, Illinois-based
chain gave Ronald McDonald a
makeover last year and gave him an
official Instagram account. Some
observers described his new apparel,
which included a bowtie and rugby
shirt, as hipster-y.

Food brief
McDonalds set to
embrace new ingredient: Kale
NEW YORK McDonalds may be developing a taste for
a new ingredient as it fights to reinvent itself: Kale.
The worlds biggest burger chain says its testing two
breakfast bowls in Southern California, one of which
includes the leafy green as an ingredient.
The test comes as McDonalds Corp. works to shake its
junk food image, with sales at established U.S. locations
declining for six straight quarters. CEO Steve Easterbrook,
who stepped into the top spot March 1, has said he want to
turn the chain into a modern, progressive burger company.
Lisa McComb, a McDonalds representative, said in an
email the kale is included in a Turkey Sausage & Egg White
bowl, which also has spinach and bruschetta. The other
option is a Chorizo & Egg bowl, which includes a hash
brown, cheddar jack cheese and pico de gallo.
On Wednesday, Janney analyst Mark Kalinowski had also
noted on that McDonalds was introducing three salads in
Canada that have kale as an ingredient.
The embrace of kale may seem odd to some, considering
McDonalds recently ran an ad that celebrated the Big Mac
and mocked trendy ingredients like soy, quinoa, Greek
yogurt and kale.

By Christine Armario
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The online reviews

had filtered in, and they werent good:
The restaurant Mark Cammarano had
invested nearly all of his mothers
retirement money in got just two stars.
So the FYI Network known for
gimmicky reality TV shows like
Married at First Sight offered to
step in with Say it to My Face, a new
show in which he would meet some of
those naysayers face-to-face and confront what they had to say. Then, with
the help of two-star chefs, he could try
to change their opinions. Cammarano
took the gamble.
But gathered in Cammaranos familystyle restaurant in the Los Angeles suburb of Simi Valley, things got testy,
quickly.
I had an arugula and steak salad,
said Ryan Carrillo, a reality TV personality and artistic roller skating champion whod dined at the restaurant. It
was literally one of the worst things I
have ever ordered in my life. The steak
was raw. The quality of the meat was
very low.
Do you know what carpaccio is?
Cammarano shot back. Its raw meat,
right?
Correct, Carrillo said. I said the
quality of the meat was low so I couldnt eat it. Of course the meat was raw.
Cammarano crossed his arms and
looked down, frustration running
through his grim but muted expression.
The plot might have seemed perfectly crafted to reel in viewers, but it also
hit on a real tension in the food world.

Online blogs and user-generated sites

like Instagram and Yelp let every customer be a critic meaning one undercooked dish or forgotten drink can
quickly show up online for all the
world to see. As newspapers trim their
staffs including expensive restaurant critics and millennials flock to
online-only reviews, the amateur critic
has, in many ways, taken center stage.
And that is changing not just the chefcritic dynamic, but the entire restaurant-customer relationship.
Digitally savvy chefs have found
ways to build their brands online
chef and food TV star Anthony
Bourdain has more Twitter followers
than the British monarchy. But for
those who are just starting or have no
online presence at all, one bad review
can indeed be searing. A working paper
by Harvard University business administration professor Michael Luca found
a one-star increase on Yelp brings
restaurants a 5 to 9 percent increase in
revenue, and that independent restaurants benefit most.
This suggests that online consumer
reviews substitute for more traditional
forms of reputation, the study concluded.
To be certain, the bona fide newspaper restaurant critic commands clout.
Their numbers, however, have been
dwindling. Food sections have shrunk
and several notable reviewers laid-off.
Meanwhile, the number of blogs dedicated to food has risen exponentially.
By one estimate, there were more than
18,000 in 2013.
Increasingly, newspapers dont
want to spend the money, said Ruth
Reichl, a James Beard award-winning

to be balanced and fair which online

go a number of times to make sure they

Amanda Hesser, former food editor of

of where to dine, but also for reading

the otherwise lackluster Sex Tape) as he is
discussing Sam Shepard.
But Blacks options in the business were
also shifting.
Lets be honest, Ive whiffed it a couple
times, he says. And then its nervous
times. And like three years goes by, then
here comes another wave. Im glad Im
catching another wave.
In addition to The D Train, out Friday,
Black stars in the upcoming satirical HBO
series The Brink, as well as two animated
films: this falls Goosebumps and next
years Kung Fu Panda 3. Hes increasingly
looking to build projects (like The D

Train) through his production company.

The industry has changed and my place
in it has changed, says Black. If I want to
work on cool things, Ive got to generate it.
If Im just going to sit around waiting for
Paul Thomas Anderson or Quentin Tarantino
to call me, the career is already over.
A conversation with Black could have its
own mixtape. The Beatles Sexy Sadie,
Kanye Wests Yeezus and Die Antwoord are
discussed; songs sung include the Rolling
Stones Torn and Frayed, Neil Youngs
Comes a Time and Cat Stevens Where
Will the Children Play, which Black
recently performed at a benefit. Han Solo
was there, he says, referring to Harrison
Ford. He came over. Single tear.
Blacks wife is a cellist: We do jam, he
says. At their Los Angeles home with their
two boys, Black prefers to stay out of the
limelight. I like to go swimming and just

put on a record, listen to half, go in all wet,

getting the floors all wet, flip it and play
the other side of that record.
I dont have any famous pals, for
instance, says Black, though he grants
recently attending an Easter egg hunt at
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolies house. I like
working with the people Ive worked with
Im very fortunate but I dont keep in
touch with them. I kind of live in a weird
bubble.
In The D Train, Black plays perhaps his
least likable character. A total turd, he
calls him. To lure the most popular guy
(James Marsden) back to the reunion, he
piles fiction on top of fiction until it leads
to an already infamous bisexual encounter.
The D Train could be the bromance to end
all bromances.
I just hadnt seen it before, says Black.
I guess thats just it: I hadnt seen it

before.
School of Rock remains the quintessential Black film. Hes bombastic and sweet, a
combustible, always-riffing tornado of
enthusiasm. But The D Train and Bernie
point toward a new direction.
What I took away from it is: Stop caring
so much about what people think of you,
he says of The D Train. Im always
stressing. Like: Oh god, I hope its a hit. I
hope people like me. The stress comes
from: If this doesnt go well, then maybe I
dont work again. That never goes away.
Chatting with the waitress, Black discovers shes Estonian. Im glad I cleared that
up, he says, because that could have gone
on all night. But later as he sips his afterdinner drink, he tries once more, and this
time, hes finally rewarded.
Thats it. We walk away, he says. She
said Prego.

To say more would tread into the spoiler

zone, but most of the attempted laughs
thereafter are aimed at this obsession. The
problem is that in a world where gender and
sexuality exist on a spectrum, Dans
response isnt that far out.
This is where the story by screenwriters
and first-time directors Jarrad Paul and
Andrew Mogel begins to break down and
the comedy turns sad. Dan may be a jerk,
but even jerks can have their hearts broken.
A few laughs land, like Lawless advice
for managing a threesome. And the sound-

track of 1980s hits is great, even if it doesnt really fit Dans class of 1994.
The D Train rides entirely on its excellent cast. Marsden is flawless as Lawless,
all sexy swagger and false nonchalance.
Hahn heartbreakingly conveys unconditional love pushed to its limit. Tambors
sincerity is transparent.
And Black is a profound actor. Even
beyond his celebrated performance in
2011s Bernie, hes achingly real and
wrenchingly vulnerable here, giving heart
to a character so unlikeable that even his

eventual self-awareness wouldnt be

redemption enough.
The film ventures into brave territory for
a buddy comedy with its twist on the trope
of drunken one-night stands, but it ends up
disappointingly sticking with stereotypes.
The D Train, an IFC Films release, is
rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for strong sexual material,
nudity, language and drug use. Running
time: 98 minutes. One and a half stars out
of four.

E-SPORTS
Continued from page 19
by research firm Newzoo said 205
million people watched e-sports in
2014.
However, a divide continues to
loom over the medium. The broadcast
of a collegiate tournament for
Blizzards upcoming game Heroes of
the Storm drew only about 100,000
viewers when it aired last month on
ESPN2. It also inspired ire. ESPN
Radio host Colin Cowherd later
remarked that he would retire if he was
ever forced to cover guys playing
video games.
Several major companies dont
share that sentiment.
Intel, Red Bull, Nissan, Coca-Cola

and others have been regularly sponsoring e-sports athletes and organizations in an attempt to reach those elusive millennials who have cut the
cord, streaming Dota 2 matchups on
smartphones instead of watching
Major League Baseball games on televisions. For many marketers, its
about more than simply advertising
products.
I have a very clear job, said Matt
Wolf, global head of gaming for
Coca-Cola. My job is to sell more
Coca-Cola. But I also love the gaming industry. I grew up in the gaming
industry, so why cant I grow our
brands with the power of games and,
at the same time, shine a positive
light on the gaming community and
remove stereotypes? Its an incredibly powerful medium.
Coca-Cola kicked off a partnership
with Riot Games last year by spon-

soring a League of Legends amateur

league for players to compete for a
spot in the professional one. The
beverage company expanded its relationship with the game publisher this
year with plans to broadcast the May
10 midseason invitational in 15
movie theaters across the United
States.
Despite the popularity and Coke
partnership, competition alone has
yet to prove profitable for Riot
Games.
Its something our fans love, so
were going to continue to do it, said
Beck. Were in it for the long haul. Is
it profitable now? No, but we have the
luxury of not rushing to monetize it,
so we can keep it a genuine and
authentic experience. Itd be great if
we could have more partners come on
board to add value, not just monetarily, but also for the fan experience.

PARK
Continued from page 1
all agree on, is how much we love
Central Park, Councilman Joe
Goethals said. And everyone has
their own way of using it and thats
why its served us well for so long.
Although no vote was taken and further hearings will be held after staff
and consultants narrow down a final
proposal based on Wednesdays feedback, many residents were relieved by
the strong show of council and commission support for keeping the
parks recreational amenities.
San Mateo doesnt currently have
funds set aside for improvements, but
officials noted the long-term planning process is critical as it will make
the city more competitive for grants.

Lets play ball!

The council and commission were
moved by several Little League players who addressed the packed meeting
and some were shocked to hear local
teams were having to play as far away
as Half Moon Bay due to a lack of
facilities along the Peninsula.
We have to keep what we already
have and look for more creative ways
to build out, but we cannot lose what
we already have. So absolutely, we
should keep the ball field,
Councilman David Lim said.
The multi-purpose ball field will
continue to serve as a morning dog
park, host the annual Bacon and Brew
festival as well as an Easter egg hunt
and even be transformed into a winter
ice skating rink.

Rallying for tennis

City staff released two additional
conceptual maps that include keeping
at least two or three tennis courts at
the park. The current six courts sit
atop an aging parking structure that
no longer meets seismic safety standards and will likely be replaced.

PG&E
Continued from page 1
PG&E engineer questioning the safety
of 84-year-old gas transmission line
which runs parallel to Brittan Avenue.
The former engineer suggested the city
could be another San Bruno situation
in reference to the Sept. 9, 2010, gas
line explosion and fire that killed
eight, injured dozens and destroyed 38
homes. The engineer also questioned if
hydrotesting in 2011 exacerbated
cracking.

about any facility in isolation would

Comment on
said.
or share this story at
Prior to the public comment period,
www.smdailyjournal.com
Many agreed the courts current
location along Fifth Avenue provides
an unattractive barrier between the
park and downtown.
The tennis courts are in the wrong
place, Deputy Mayor Jack Matthews
said. I think its an amenity that is
appropriate, but on a more modest
scale.
Tennis will continue to have a place
in San Mateo as the number of courts
that are removed will be replaced at
other parks.

Recreation center
The current aging recreation center
is occupied by the nonprofit SelfHelp for the Elderly that provides
meals, activities, exercise classes and
Medicare counseling.
Numerous seniors spoke of the
social and emotional support they
receive from the nonprofit and their
need for a centrally located facility
close to public transit.
I believe forcing the center to
move from its present location would
be denying the senior population a
vital resource, said Vicki Hatfield, a
Meals on Wheels driver for Self-Help.
Parks and Recreation Director
Sheila Canzian recommended the
council and commission postpone a
decision on what, if any, type of
recreation center should be included in
the plans until more specified community outreach can be held.
Modern recreation centers tend to
be larger, offer a variety of uses for
multiple generations and are extremely expensive Canzian estimated a
new center at the park could cost
between $10 million and $15 million.
We have an aging inventory of
community centers, most of which
are approaching 50 years of age.
Which is why making such a decision
gency which led to the line being
temporarily taken out of service and
PG&E accelerated regularly scheduled
work on the line from 2016 to sooner. Upon discovering the two defects,
PG&E reduced the pressure of the line
to ensure the safety of the community.
Mayor Ron Collins, in a press
release, said he appreciates PG&E contacting the city promptly and that it
took steps to reduce risks to the community by lowering the pressure.
We continue to hold PG&E accountable for the safety of Line 147 and
expect that it will expediently rectify
this and any additional problems
found, he said in the press release.

Mayor Maureen Freschet decided to

poll the council and commission to
illustrate the majority were in favor of
keeping the ball field and at least
some of the tennis courts a move
that reassured much of the public that
their messages had been heard.
Theres many decisions to be made
from this point going forward. Im
not sure tonights vote really means
anything, but I appreciate the support
for the field, said Michael Heagerty,
who led an effort to ensure the ball
field to remain. He also urged officials
take a city-wide look at recreational
amenities.
While some opted not to speak after
knowing certain amenities would
remain, some continued to express
concern about the process.
We have limited funds. Lets prioritize in the right places, keep the
services, dont take them away, not
even some of them, said Ed
Stubbins.
Although more than a years worth
of community and stakeholder input
went into the preliminary designs,
theres still more vetting to be done
before a Master Plan is adopted.
Ultimately, the council encouraged
the community to stay involved in
the grassroots democratic process.
I know it was stirred by the fact
that people got very afraid that something very precious, that they love,
was going to be taken away, Freschet
said regarding the public turnout
Wednesday. We are here representing
you. This isnt about our particular
ideas your ideas will help us in significantly guiding our plan.

Councilman Mark Olbert said he is
pleased the city was notified promptly
but is concerned with the discovery
and would like more information. He
plans to ask for a public presentation
on this situation and the overall condition of the line.
It gives me cause for concern. ... I
want to hear from PG&E, he said.
PG&E spokesman Donald Cutler said
the utility is committed to continue
engaging with the city and its customers.
The safety of our customers is our
top priority. We will continue to work
closely with the city to them stay up to
date, along with our customers in the
area, Cutler said.

phases. Now, Sares Regis is requesting it be
allowed to construct 65 to 70 for-sale townhomes instead of the 17 units and 172,943
square feet of commercial space formerly
agreed upon.
I met with the developer early on and I
advised him, no matter how nice and original his proposal might be, this is not the
right time to do it, Councilman Steve
Okamoto said.
As part of its gatekeeper ordinance, the
council will meet May 18 to review Sares
Regis proposal and provide feedback on its
request for a land use change a process
that over the last year has drawn hundreds of
residents to attend in protest against other
housing proposals. No vote will be taken,
instead, the meeting is intended to allow the
council and community to provide input to
developers before they choose whether to
submit a formal application.
Bob Cushman, a member of the group
Foster City Residents for Responsible
Development, said 1, 800 people have
signed their petition asking for the council
to take a breather on approving more resi-

the community that vehicle burglary is on
the rise locally, hear concerns from residents about neighborhood parking problems and share some of the concerns facing
the department, among other issues.
Despite suffering from occasional outbreaks of small crimes, Azzopardi said
South San Francisco does not face the same
threats that plague other similarly sized
cities across the Bay Area.
We live in a very safe community, said
Azzopardi.
In comparison to cities such as San
Ramon, Antioch, Redwood City, San Bruno,
San Mateo, San Rafael and other communities across the Bay Area, South San
Francisco is well below the average class
one crime rate, according to a report from
the police department. Class one crimes are
defined by the police department as serious

dences until the community can fully grasp

the impacts of whats already in the
pipeline.
We have less than 4 square miles, three
ways in and out, were a unique community
and were already built out. Were overbuilt
actually. So this has to stop somewhere. I
think when whats already approved is up
and people can evaluate, then we can start
anew, Cushman said.
According to Sares Regis request, the
market conditions for office and retail space
have changed over the last decade. Although
the project has not been constructed, Sares
Regis representatives said theyve received
little interest from commercial tenants to
rent the space for a price that would support
development costs.
We would like to work with the city to reenvision our portion of the Pilgrim Triton
Master Plan, enabling us to complete the
final piece of a vibrant ownership housing
community near work, shopping and
parks, according to a letter submitted to
the city.
The remainder of the site includes 713 residential units, including up to 64 live-work
units, a 1-acre park and about 123,000
square feet of commercial space. The first
phase, known as the Plaza, has been completed and includes 307 residential units,
said Leslie Carmichael, a consultant plan-

ner with the city. Currently under construction is Triton Point, or phase D, which
includes 166 units and ground-floor retail
space that will be finished in the fall. Phase
B, or the Waverly, is just getting started and
will include 240 residential units as well as
retail and office space that is expected to be
completed in mid-2016, Carmichael said.
As Pilgrim Triton Phase C makes up more
than half of the entire sites intended commercial and office space, Councilman
Charlie Bronitsky said he wants to fully
understand the impacts any land use change
may have.
As I see it, there are pros and cons in the
proposal, and that is why I think further
study and further education is critical for us
to understand what life would be like for us
with the currently approved development
and what it would be like to change a portion of that to add additional housing,
Bronitsky wrote in an email.
Bronitsky added while some assume the
citys traffic problems are the result of housing, only 300 units have been added in more
than a decade. The areas strong economy,

crimes such as homicide, rape or other violent offenses, Azzopardi said.

He said crooks smashing the windows of
cars and stealing items left in plain view is
one of the most common crimes reported
recently, but has dwindled as officers have
increased their presence in neighborhoods
most frequently victimized.
But despite the success in crime suppression, the police force still faces challenges,
Azzopardi said.
One of the biggest obstacles he faces as
chief is recruiting and retaining officers,
said Azzopardi, due in part of the outdated
facilities that house the department.
The South San Francisco Police
Department is located at 33 Arroyo Drive,
along with a fire station, in the Municipal
Services Building, which officials are considering redeveloping.
The 50-year-old building is outdated, no
longer seismically sound, suffers from water
seepage, offers insufficient quarters to personnel, has a confusing layout and myriad
other issues, according to a city report.
City officials have discussed floating a

half-cent sales tax to voters, which would

be used to finance the construction of a new
police department and fire station, as well
as a new library and recreation center.
The project is expected to cost roughly
$168 million, if it were constructed by
2019. Should the city elect to move forward
with the tax measure, it would need to be
approved by the City Council to put it on
the November ballot.
Azzopardi said some of his officers are
lured away by other departments offering
facilities more modern than those in South
San Francisco, and that there are a variety of
struggles associated with the stations ability to accommodate the 83 sworn officers
and 115 police personnel.
Frankly, we are bursting at the seems,
he said.
Despite some of the challenges with the
building housing the department, Azzopardi
said he and his officers still appreciate their
home.
Dont get me wrong, we love our station.
Its ours, he said.

lack of affordable housing and minimal public transit options are more likely to blame,
Bronitsky said.
Councilman Herb Perez said the officials
are doing residents and developers a disservice by not taking a more comprehensive
look at the city. Ideally, Perez said hed like
residents, officials and stakeholders to take
a hard look at what they want the future of
Foster City to be.
Ten years ago was a different time and
the citizens of our community now, simply
can no longer tolerate any further growth.
Theyre unwilling to consider it until we
have addressed traffic, school overcrowding
and our density issues, Perez said. We need
a sophisticated conversation about the economic health of this city as well as our quality of life and what we want our community
to be. We can no longer make these decisions in a vacuum as past councils have.

center, which serves South San Francisco
and other surrounding communities, is also
housed in the Municipal Services Building.
Many of the residents who attended the
town hall took the opportunity to express
their concerns about enforcement in their
neighborhood, primarily in regards to how
parking infractions are policed.
Azzopardi commiserated with those suffering from neighbors who park their car
recklessly.
Parking is a huge problem everywhere
he said.
Through the outreach effort, Azzopardi
said he hoped residents could come away
with a fuller picture of himself, and his fellow officers.
Basically, we are just like everyone
else, he said.
Azzopardi will host a final town hall
meeting 7 p.m. June 1 at Morelos Hall, 209
