D.tech to Oracle up for review
Redwood City planning officials set to consider charter schools move to tech campus
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A proposal to build a new charter

high school on the campus of the
Oracle Corporation in Redwood
Shores is set to receive an initial
review from city officials.
The Redwood City Planning
Commission will discuss during a
meeting Tuesday, Feb. 16, the project plans to construct a new Design
Tech High School building at 275
Oracle Parkway.
Oracle
officials
formally
announced last year the tech titans
intention to build a new facility for
the school, commonly known as
d.tech, which is the only charter
school in the San Mateo Union High
School District.
Curriculum at d.tech revolves
around science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and school
officials believe students would benefit greatly from the access to one of
the nations most notable tech companies.
Before the project can proceed
though, design plans must be
approved by Redwood City officials.

The school is proposed to be a new
64,000-square-foot two-story building, financed entirely by Oracle,
which is expected to accommodate a
maximum of 580 students and staff.
There are no amenities such as
kitchen, gym or conference center
built into the project designs, as students would have access to those
facilities that already exist on the

Oracle campus.
City officials released a draft environmental impact report for the project last month, and members the public have an opportunity to make
comments on the document until
Thursday, March 10.

GETTING INTO THE SWING
City Council to consider plans for 8.8-acre project

proposed for two parcels on Airport Boulevard

NICK ROSE/DAILY JOURNAL
Judy Massey pushes Lulu Hahn on a swing set in Washington Park in Burlingame last week. While the warmer
weather has brought out spring activities, forecasters say rain is expected by mid-week and may continue
through Friday.
The Burlingame City Council is

set to give further consideration to
a proposal to redevelop a portion
of Bayfront property into a public
park.
Officials will review during a
meeting Tuesday, Feb. 16, the
plans to build a park on 8.8 acres
spread across two parcels near 450
Airport Blvd.
The project, which is expected
to cost between $4 million and $5
million, is one of a variety large
capital improvement projects the
council faces prioritizing, along
with construction of a new recreation center, parking garages and
other efforts.
The council has received a presentation regarding public financing measures which could go before
voters to pay for construction of
the projects being considered.
The property targeted as a potential park is owned by the

California
State
Lands
Commission, and would likely
need to be leased to the city to be
redeveloped, according to a staff
report.
During the upcoming meeting,
the council is set to review documents identifying the potential
environmental impacts of building the park on land which currently sits vacant near Kincaids
restaurant and the former drive-in
theater site.
No official approval is slated to
be granted, but the council can
direct city staff to proceed with the
initiative, as well as address concerns raised by the public.
Proposed improvements for the
site include building two new
parking lots for visitors, laying
concrete paths, constructing rest-

Black Mountain property for sale

Asking price is $19.8 million; 24 homes proposed for site
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Black Mountain Estate in San Carlos is

back on the market for an asking price of
$19.8 million after the citys effort to buy it
for a park failed, according to Coldwell
Banker.
The property, and two other adjacent
parcels, were the subject of last Novembers
Measure V, a bond proposal aimed to preserve the land as open space.
Its not surprising that this property
the largest undeveloped piece of residential
land in San Carlos would be of interest to
the community, and in preparing to market
it, we commissioned a plan that would turn
it into a gorgeous community with approximately 24 homes, David Young, listing
agent for Coldwell Banker San Carlos,
wrote in a statement.
The listing for the property at 806
Alameda de las Pulgas will become active
Thursday.
Buyers, however, may have other ideas
for the property.
It could conceivably be used for more
homes or fewer, or even for one very private
estate. Developers and potential buyers will
want to note that this is a piece of land so
beautiful, so well located, that many local

citizens were hoping to make it a park. Very
few properties are special enough to mobilize that kind of interest, he said.
Measure V lost in November with about
39.6 percent support.
The site is located on Alameda de las
Pulgas between Madera Avenue and Melendy
Drive.
The 11.3-acre Black Mountain property
was for sale last year with an asking price of
about $18 million.
It sits next to the 7.3-acre Rollieri property and 4.9-acre Vista Del Grande property,
which were also part of the Measure V proposal.
Measure V was a $45 million bond measure that would have cost taxpayers about
$86 million over 30 years.
Black Mountain has a few homes on it
now and sweeping views of the Bay. The
city claims all three parcels on about 25
acres are zoned to accommodate between 70
and 100 new homes.
The San Carlos Elementary School
District had its eye on the Black Mountain
property in 2014 for a new school site but
the deal fell through.
More information can be found at black mountainland.com or (650) 315-8989.

Collaborative effort to save

affordable housing stock
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
While considering means to address the

regions widespread affordable housing crisis, the San Mateo City Council is looking
to partner with a local nonprofit and the
county Board of Supervisors to purchase an
apartment complex and retain below-market rate rental units.
HIP Housing is seeking to acquire a 16unit apartment complex at 1110 Cypress
Ave. in San Mateo, to make needed repairs
to the building and keep the studio and onebedrooms available to low-income residents.
Needing $5.75 million to purchase and
repair the site, HIP Housing is seeking a
$1.1 million loan from the city and $2.5
million from the county. The City Council
will vote Tuesday whether to make the lowinterest loan to the nonprofit seeking to
preserve the units for those making 50 percent to 60 percent of the
areas medium income,
according to a staff
report. The Board of
Supervisors is slated to
consider the request Feb.
23.
Mayor Joe Goethals
said hes pleased the city
is looking at various
Joe Goethals means to bolster affordable housing efforts.
I think were going to have to get very
creative and I think the important thing is
increasing the overall number of affordable
units in the city. Its a regional issue, but
everything we do has an impact, Goethals
said. I have been impressed by [HIP
Housings] ability to work with community
partners and the success they have had with
retaining affordable units.
The city has formerly used this type of
acquisition model having helped purchase
four other apartment buildings in the 1990s
and early 2000s, said Housing Manager
Sandy Council.
In the more recent years, weve been
focusing more on new construction, trying
to build new housing and expand the supply. But the acquisition-rehab model is still
something we identify in the housing element and our consolidated plan, which is
the plan to use federal money, Council

said.
Over the years, the city has received federal grants from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development and must
spend the funds on affordable housing projects within a strict time frame, Council
said. The timing of HIP Housings request
was ideal and the city plans to spend about
$540,000 in federal funds $200,000 of
which must be spent or returned by Aug. 1,
Council said.
It was a neat way to use that money for
[affordable housing] purposes, mostly
because the timing to do a construction
process is really long, you have to find a
site, develop it, Council said. Whereas
the acquisition-rehab project, you can do in
a matter of months instead of years.
Luckily, the seller has been amenable to
HIP Housings proposal, agreed to keep
five of the already unoccupied units vacant
while the sale is negotiated and even
accepted an offer slightly below the propertys assessed value, Council said.
Unlike many property sales in which new
ownership refurbishes the buildings and
current tenants are displaced because they
cant afford the increased rents, officials
must proceed cautiously to ensure current
Cypress Avenue residents arent displaced
for making too much money and not qualifying as low income.
Yet as the property sale is still pending,
officials have been unable to gather specific information about current tenants,
Council said.
Once we find out what the kind of
incomes are, well be able to lay out a strategy to not displace the current tenants, but
over time, will get it down to the targeted
folks, Council said. We dont want to displace anyone in this high housing market,
we dont want to put anyone out, but we
dont have that strategy defined yet.
To qualify, a single person can make no
more than $49,000 a year, a two-person
household up to $56,000 a year and a threeperson household can earn up to $63,000 a
year, Council said.
Monthly rent for the 11 studios is targeted at $1,199 and the five one-bedroom
units will run about $1, 280 a month,
according to a staff report. Seven units
have older leases with lower rents and it is
hoped those tenants will meet the targeted

income category. Another five units have
more recent leases with higher rents and are
less likely to qualify, according to the
report.
The property is in fairly good condition,
nine of the units were recently ungraded and
a preliminary assessment indicates about
$400,000 in repairs are needed, according
to the report.
Council said while the city has been more
focused on creating new units as of late,
preserving existing housing stock has
proven successful. Over the past 20 or so
years, the city used this model to help
secure a six-unit site on North Idaho Street,
a six-unit site on Eldorado Street, as well as
a 16-unit property and 11-unit complex on
South Delaware Street, Council said.
While the city is pleased by the proposition of assisting with another acquisitionrehab project, much more is needed to make
a dent in helping those affected by the
areas high cost of living, said Deputy
Mayor David Lim.
Its always been a good model and right
now the way the economy is, I think its a
wonderful opportunity to purchase land and
preserve the affordable housing units, Lim
said. Unfortunately because of our affordable housing crisis, this is going to be a
drop in the bucket. But every small step
makes a difference.
Goethals and Lim noted theyre awaiting
a report from the citys affordable housing
task force which was formed last year
and is comprised of a variety of stakeholders and industry experts before considering a range of options and broader solutions.
Im waiting to hear all of the things that
come out of the affordable housing task
force. Even though they may not get things
that have unanimous support, there will be
ideas that they have discussed and vetted
that we will be able to consider that we may
not have thought of otherwise, Goethals
said, noting the problem is nuanced. This
is a difficult issue with a lot of unintended
consequences and I think our goal is more
affordable housing and increasing the number of affordable units.

Teen suicides
in Palo Alto
to be subject
of U.S. study
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALO ALTO A team of mental health

experts from the federal Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention is scheduled to be in
California this week to investigate a series of
suicides by teenagers in the affluent university town of Palo Alto.
Santa Clara County officials took the
unusual step of inviting the CDC to do an epidemiological study on the teen suicide problem that has anguished Palo Alto parents,
teachers and young people for at least seven
years, the San Jose Mercury News reported.
The team, which includes representatives
from both the CDC and the U.S. Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration, has spent the last three
months working with the county Public
Health Department to gather data on suicides,
suicide attempts and suicidal behavior among
Santa Clara County youth.
Starting Tuesday, its members plan to
spend two weeks on the ground meeting with
local doctors and community leaders, according to the Mercury News. Their research also
will include evaluating existing suicide prevention programs, reviewing media coverage
of the teen suicides and identifying the factors that might put Palo Altos youth at
greater risk, CDC spokeswoman Courtney
Lenard told the newspaper.
Six teenagers from Palo Alto, the home of
Stanford University, killed themselves in
both 2009 and 2010, events that triggered
public forums, peer-run support groups and
police patrols at the commuter train tracks
where some of the young people ended their
lives. Yet four more teens committed suicide
in both 2014 and 2015.
From 2010 through 2014, an average of 20
minors and young adults a year died by suicide
in Santa Clara County as a whole.
Palo Alto officials asked the state and county to request the CDC evaluation after hearing
of a suicide assessment the agency conducted
last year in Fairfax, Virginia, where 85 people between the ages of 10 and 24 killed
themselves in a 5-year period.
The Fairfax County study concluded that
among the possible risk factors facing young
people there were an inadequate number of
school counselors, stigma and denial around
mental illness, pressure to excel academically and bullying through social media.

Obama to welcome
Asian leaders to
California for talks
By Darlene Superville
RANCHO MIRAGE President Barack

Obama and the leaders of Southeast Asian
nations are gathering in Southern California
for an unprecedented two days of talks on
economic and security issues and on forging
deeper ties amid Chinas assertive presence
in the region.
Obama on Monday will
welcome each leader from
the 10 members of the
Association of Southeast
Asian
Nations,
or
ASEAN, for a summit at
Sunnylands, a storied
California desert estate
where Obama held his
first
meeting
with
Barack Obama Chinas current president.
This is the first time the
leaders of Indonesia, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei,
Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia have
assembled in the U.S. at Obamas invitation
and not on the margins of another gathering.
China is not a member of ASEAN.
The summit was conceived as part of
Obamas mission to raise the U.S. profile and
help set the agenda in the fast-growing AsiaPacific, where Chinas territorial claims over
disputed waters have raised international
concerns and led to friction with ASEAN
countries.
Member countries make up the worlds seventh-largest economy and represent the
fourth-largest trading partner with the U.S.
U.S.-ASEAN relations have never been

stronger, Susan Rice, Obamas national
security adviser, declared Monday.
Rice said the nations are important partners on issues ranging from the economy to
maritime security and counterterrorism to climate change.
By hosting the summit, we want to make
very clear that the United States is going to
be at the table and a part of setting the agenda in the Asia Pacific in the decades to come,
Ben Rhodes, Rices deputy, told reporters
before the summit.
Mondays talks will focus on the economy
and using innovation and entrepreneurship
to promote in the region. After a working
dinner at the estate, the conversation shifts
Tuesday to regional security issues, including
the South China Sea and counterterrorism,
before the summit ends.
China says it has a historical right to virtually all of the South China Sea and has built
seven artificial islands, including with
airstrips, to assert its sovereignty. Taiwan
and ASEAN members Brunei, Malaysia,
Vietnam and the Philippines also claim land
features in these potentially resource-rich
waters, which are an important conduit for
world trade.
Though not a claimant, the U.S. has spoken out against Chinas conduct and has
angered Beijing by sailing Navy ships near
some of the artificial islands. The U.S. has
argued for the maritime rights issue to be
resolved peacefully and is looking for
ASEAN to take a unified stance by calling for
the disputes to be resolved based on international law.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Republican campaign
talk is getting nastier
By Nancy Benac
WASHINGTON In 2011, eyebrows shot

up when former vice presidential candidate
Sarah Palin used a salty acronym WTF
to mock the policies of President Barack
Obama.
How quaint.
Five years later, Donald Trump has blown
right past acronyms in a profanity-laced
campaign
for
the
Republican nomination
that has seen multiple
candidates hurl insults
and disparaging remarks
at one another and their
critics.
In recent days, Trump
has publicly lip-synced
Donald Trump the F-bomb, blurted out
the S-word more than
once, hurled an offensive term for coward at
rival Ted Cruz and red a steady string of
put-downs at other candidates whom he
labels pathetic, liars, losers, nasty, evil and
more.
While Trump started it, other GOP candidates have jumped right into the rhetorical
mosh pit, readily trading versions of liar,
liar in Saturday nights venomous debate.
Cruz has said Trump is losing it, called
out his Trumpertantrums and dismissed
the billionaires insults as hysterical.
Before exiting the race, New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie predicted that he could beat
Hillary Clinton in a debate, promising, Ill
beat her rear end on that stage, and tormented fellow Republican Marco Rubio as a
fragile boy in the bubble.
Even Jeb Bush, whose 90-year-old mother recently complained that he was too
polite, belatedly joined in.
Bush, a favorite target of Trumps taunts,
tweeted back: You arent just a loser, you
are a liar and a whiner. This, after weeks of
calling him a jerk.
Its not that politicians are typically
paragons of proper speech and etiquette.
Theyve just tended to keep their name-calling and coarseness off-mic.
Now, its on the podium and by design.
Theres a general taboo-breaking that
allows more and more of it to happen faster
and faster, says Robert Lane Greene, author
of You Are What You Speak, a book about
the politics of language. The rst time
somebody does it, eyebrows go up and people get concerned, but then the next person
doing it is less eye-opening.
The Democratic nomination contest has
been tame in comparison with the
Republicans: Hillary Clinton complained
of a low blow when Bernie Sanders said
she was a progressive only on some days.
Sanders, in turn, rejected Clintons accusation that his campaign had engaged in an
artful smear by insinuating that she was
beholden to Wall Street.
As for the GOP campaign, Trump is playing to voters who have a disdain for anything associated with the establishment,
including the whole idea of appearing presidential, says Norman Ornstein, an
American Enterprise Institute scholar whos
been watching presidential politics for
decades. That makes it hard for Trumps
rivals to ght back using traditional tactics.
If you are trying to be a boxer playing by
Marquess of Queensberry rules and youre
coming up against a mixed martial arts guy
who doesnt even abide by the rules of
mixed martial arts, do you sink to that
level? Ornstein asks. Theres no easy way
to respond, because if youre trying to show
youre different from this vulgar guy, then
hes going to beat you up.
Greene sees the coarseness of the GOP
campaign as evidence that the contest to
become the alpha male in the room has
become more obvious this time than in previous elections.
That seems to be just ne with the voters
who have put Trump at the top of the polls
and handed him a victory in New
Hampshires rst-in-the-nation primary.
About a quarter of Republican voters in
New Hampshire said telling it like it is
was the most important quality to them in
selecting a candidate, and two-thirds of
those voters went for the potty-mouth guy
who tells it like no one else.
Hes real, right? said Joanne Galvin, an
independent voter from Pelham, New
Hampshire, explaining her vote for Trump.
She dismissed his use of a vulgarity about
Cruz at a big rally by saying Trump was simply repeating what someone in the audience
had shouted out.
Trump has offered a similar defense and
promised hell tone things down if he gets
closer to the presidency, saying, when
youre president, or if youre about to be
president, you would act differently.

Judge disclosed details Scalias death could affect key cases

about Scalias health
WASHINGTON The Texas county judge who decided no

autopsy was needed following the death of Supreme Court
Justice Antonin Scalia has disclosed new details about Scalias
health in the days before he died.
Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara told the Associated
Press on Monday she spoke with Scalias doctor on the day he
was found dead in his room at a remote Texas ranch. She said the
doctor told her that Scalia had a history of
heart trouble, high blood pressure and was
considered too weak to undergo surgery for
a recent shoulder injury.
Those details are seemingly at odds with
recollections of friends who described
Scalia as his usual, happy self during the
days leading up to his death. News that the
79-year-old justice was in declining health
may come as a surprise to the public, but
Cinderela
unlike presidents, the high courts memGuevara
bers dont provide regular health disclosures.
Guevara told the AP that she consulted with Scalias personal
physician and local and federal investigators, who said there
were no signs of foul play, before concluding that he had died of
natural causes. She said she spoke with a Dr. Monahan at
some point after 8 p.m. on Saturday to discuss Scalias health
history.
Rear Adm. Brian P. Monahan is the attending physician for
members of Congress and the Supreme Court. A Supreme Court
spokeswoman could not immediately confirm that Monahan
had examined Scalia, and Monahan did not return a phone message left for him at his Capitol office Monday.
Scalias death was a shock to those at the Cibolo Creek Ranch
where he died, as well as to the rest of the nation. The owner of
the ranch near Marfa, about 190 miles southeast of El Paso, said
Scalia seemed normal at dinner the night before he was found
in complete repose in his room.
John Poindexter told reporters Scalia had arrived Friday and
was part of a group of about 35 weekend guests. Scalia retired
around 9 p.m., saying he wanted a long nights sleep, according
to Poindexter.
Chris Lujan, a manager for Sunset Funeral Homes in El Paso,
Texas, said Scalias body was taken from the facility late Sunday
afternoon and was to be flown to Virginia
An El Paso International Airport official, Terry Sharpe, the
airports assistant director for operations, said a private plane
carrying Scalias body left the West Texas airport about 8 p.m.
Eastern time Sunday.
Guevara said Monahan told her Scalia had gone to the doctors
office on both Wednesday and Thursday before traveling to
Texas, and had an MRI on his shoulder. She said Monahan told
her surgery was needed, but that Scalia wasnt strong enough to
endure surgery so rehabilitation was recommended instead.
Scalia apparently had mentioned to some people at the ranch
he was not feeling well, according to Guevara. She said that
information came from her conversations with Presidio County
Sheriff Danny Dominguez and a U.S. marshal she identified as
Ken Roberts, both of whom had seen Scalias body and determined there was no foul play.
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court abhors even numbers. But thats just what the court will have to deal with,
perhaps for many months, after the death of Justice Antonin
Scalia. Eight justices will decide what to do, creating the
prospect of 4-4 ties.
Here are some questions and answers about the prospects
of filling the vacancy left by the death of its conservative
icon and longest-serving justice and its effect on the court:
Q: What happens when Pres i dent Barack Obama
makes a no mi nati o n?
A: Any nominee would first face the Senate Judiciary
Committee, which would hold confirmation hearings and
then vote on whether to send the selection to the full
Senate. An Obama nominee would have a hard time even
getting a favorable vote to get out of the committee, where
Republicans hold an 11-9 edge. Some of the fiercest foes of
the president serve on the panel, including GOP presidential
candidate Ted Cruz of Texas, Jeff Sessions of Alabama,
David Vitter of Louisiana and Mike Lee of Utah. The committee chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said within
hours of Scalias death on Saturday that Obamas successor
should select the next justice.
Q: What i f the no mi nee di d emerg e fro m the co mmi ttee?
A: The decision then rests with the full Senate, where
Republicans are in the majority 54-46 and Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., wasted no time on Saturday making clear that this vacancy should not be filled until we
have a new president. Further complicating the prospects
for approval is Cruz, who has vowed to filibuster any
Obama nominee. That means it would take 60 votes to break
a GOP filibuster. Obamas allies would need 14 Republicans
to break ranks and move ahead on the nomination. The
2012 and 2014 elections left just a handful of moderate
Republicans who might vote for an Obama pick. Of those
still in the Senate, only Susan Collins, R-Maine, and
Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., voted for Obamas two other
Supreme Court choices, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.

been publ i cl y anno unced?

A: It may sound harsh, but Scalias votes and draft opinions in pending cases no longer matter. Veteran Supreme
Court lawyer Roy Englert says that the vote of a deceased
justice does not count. Nothing is final at the court until it
is released publicly and, while it is rare, justices have
flipped their votes and the outcomes in some cases.
Q: What happens i f there i s a ti e?
A. The justices have two options. They can vote to hear
the case a second time when a new colleague joins them or
they can hand down a one-sentence opinion that upholds
the result reached in the lower court without setting a
nationwide rule. When confirmation of a new justice is
expected to happen quickly, re-argument is more likely. In
this political environment, the vacancy could last into
2017.
Q: Why do es nt the co urt l i ke ti e v o tes ?
A: A major function of the Supreme Court is to resolve
disputes among lower courts and establish legal precedents
for the entire country. Tie votes frustrate those goals and
they essentially waste the courts time.
Q: Ho w do es Scal i as death affect s peci fi c cas es ?
A: It deprives conservatives of a key vote and probably
will derail some anticipated conservative victories in major
Supreme Court cases, including one in which labor unions
appeared headed for a big defeat. Next months Supreme
Court clash over contraceptives, religious liberty and
President Barack Obamas health care law also now seems
more likely to favor the Obama administration.
Q: What o ther pendi ng cas es co ul d be affected?
A: A challenge to the way governments have drawn electoral districts for 50 years now appears to have little chance
of finding a court majority. The court heard arguments in
December in a case from Texas on the meaning of the principle of one person, one vote, which the court has said
requires that political districts be roughly equal in population.
But it has left open the question of whether states must
count all residents, including noncitizens and children, or
only eligible voters in drawing district lines.

Trial to start on IS-linked

charges in cartoon contest
By Jacques Billeaud
PHOENIX Halfway through 2014, three

Arizona men were falling under the sway of
the Islamic State group, authorities say.
The trio watched videos depicting violence
by jihadists, tried to get pipe bombs, planned
an attack at a Prophet Muhammad cartoon
contest in Texas last year and researched travel to the Middle East so they could join
Islamic State ghters, investigators say.
Two of the men brought semiautomatic
ries and an Islamic State ag to the May 3
contest featuring cartoons deemed offensive
to Muslims and died in a shootout with police
before hurting anyone attending the event in
suburban Dallas.
The third man goes on trial Tuesday in
Phoenix in what is believed to be the rst time
the U.S. government has put a person on trial
on terror charges related to the militant group.
Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem, a 44-year-old
moving company owner, is accused of hosting the two gunmen at his home to discuss
plans for the attack, going target shooting in
the remote Arizona desert with the pair and
providing the guns used at the contest.
Prosecutors say Kareem also encouraged
Elton Simpson and Nadir Soo to carry out
violence in the United States in support of the
Islamic State group and inquired about explosives to blow up a stadium in metro Phoenix
during the 2015 Super Bowl.
Kareem denies the allegations.
Its unknown whether the thwarted Texas
attack was inspired by the Islamic State or carried out in response to an order from the
group.
Prosecutors paint a picture of three men
being inuenced by the group, which has
amassed thousands of ghters around the
globe and taken control of parts of Syria and
Iraq while carrying out beheadings, mass
shootings and other violence.
Six weeks before the cartoon contest,

Simpson accessed an Islamic State list of residential addresses of U.S. military service
members whom the group wanted attacked.
Simpson and Soo also drove to Yuma and
elsewhere in Arizona near military installations after having discussed plans to attack a
base.
FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers
in December that one of the attackers
exchanged more than 100 messages with an
overseas terrorist in the days before the attack
in Garland, Texas. Kareems indictment says
Simpson used social media to communicate
with Islamic State extremists and other violent jihadists.
The U.S. Justice Department didnt respond
to questions about the case.
I believe the shooters were motivated by
what they thought was the Islamic State, but
Im not sure they were directed by the Islamic
State, said Scott Stewart, a vice president for
the Texas-based global intelligence company
Stratfor and a former U.S. State Department
investigator who examined the 1993 World
Trade Center bombing.
The U.S. government has charged 78 people with crimes related to the Islamic State
group since March 2014, said Karen J.
Greenberg, director of the Fordham Law
Schools Center on National Security, which
tracks terrorism cases. While 24 people
charged with crimes related to the radical
group have pleaded guilty, no one has yet
gone to trial on such charges.
Kareem and his lawyer, Daniel Maynard,
declined requests for an interview. Maynard
has previously said the case was trumped up
and based largely on the work on an unreliable
condential informant.
Two days after the Texas attack, Kareem
went to the FBIs ofce in Phoenix for an
interview with investigators in which he
denied any involvement. He was arrested ve
weeks later.

Apparent tornadoes
hit Florida, Mississippi
Suspected tornadoes touched down in a rural

town on Floridas Panhandle and in
Mississippi on Monday, destroying up to 10
homes, damaging a school, and sending fire
crews out to investigate reports of residents
trapped under rubble.
The tornadoes were part of a large winter
storm system that was clobbering the eastern
U.S. with snow, sleet, strong winds and rain,
and which came on the heels of record-breaking low temperatures.
Officials in Florida and Mississippi were
investigating reports of at least three possible tornadoes. One of the apparent twisters
swept through the rural town of Century, in
the northwest corner of Floridas Panhandle,
late Monday afternoon, destroying or significantly damaging about 10 homes, said
Escambia County spokeswoman Joy
Tsubooka.
Tsubooka said fire crews were investigating
reports that some residents may have been
trapped in the rubble of destroyed homes, but
she said several of the reports had already
proved to be unfounded. She said some people
had reported minor cuts from flying debris but
that she had not received any reports of serious injuries.
Century is located on the Florida-Alabama
border about 45 miles north of Pensacola,
Florida. Pensacola news station WEAR-TV
showed a large, black funnel cloud touching
down on a highway near the town, and images
submitted by viewers to the news stations
Facebook page showed downed trees and damage to the exteriors of at least two homes. Gulf
Power reported on its website that about 800
people in Century were without electricity.
Radar had indicated a tornado present in the
storm system that moved over Century into
Brewton, Alabama, said Gene Jacobi with the
National Weather Service in Mobile,
Alabama. He said the weather service would
send crews out Tuesday to survey areas where
damage and the funnel cloud had been reported.
In Mississippi, windows were blown out of
cars and two gymnasiums and a library were
damaged at a K-12 school in Wesson where
children were in attendance when heavy thunderstorms and a possible tornado walloped at
least 19 counties. There were no reports of any
students injured, said Mississippi Department
of Education spokeswoman Patrice Guilfoyle.
Emergency management officials also
reported a destroyed mobile home in Lincoln
County, Mississippi, while a gas station and

some homes were damaged in Sylvarena in
Smith County. More than 18,000 power customers were without power.
In the eastern U.S. on Monday, a day after
record low temperatures plunged several states
into a deep freeze, wet weather including
snow, freezing rain and sleet were pummeling
the region.
National Weather Service meteorologist
Bruce Sullivan said there could be significant
snowfall 4 to 8 inches in eastern Ohio,
western Pennsylvania and western New York.
Some mountainous areas could get even more
snow.
With federal offices and many businesses
closed for Washingtons Birthday, though,
many people were able to hunker down at
home.
In Virginia, the state police asked motorists
to delay any unnecessary travel until weather
conditions could improve. By late afternoon,
authorities were on the scene of 37 traffic
crashes statewide, including a fatal crash in
Fauquier County. Troopers also were responding to nine disabled vehicles across Virginia.
They already had responded to 538 traffic
crashes and 347 disabled vehicles for the day.
In North Carolina, light freezing rain, sleet
and snow caused wrecks and closed schools
and businesses. The National Weather Service
said the precipitation was light Monday
morning, but with temperatures in the 20s, it
was freezing immediately on bridges, roads
and other surfaces.
By Tuesday, when temperatures get higher,
the rain and some runoff could cause flooding
in some areas, Sullivan said.
Sundays teeth-chattering temperatures were
some of the coldest on record.
In several Northeastern cities including
New York, Boston and Hartford, Connecticut
temperatures on Sunday morning dipped
below zero, falling to minus 40 on Mount
Washington in New Hampshire.
The National Weather Service said the temperature in New York Citys Central Park fell
to minus 1, a record low for the date. The last
time it was below zero in Central Park was in
January 1994.
Boston reached minus 9, breaking the
record set in 1934 by 6 degrees. It reached
minus 16 in Worcester, Massachusetts, breaking the 1979 record of 11 below zero.
Providence, Rhode Island, hit minus 9 and
Hartford reached minus 12, also breaking
records from 1979.

Lets work together
Editor,
We need all of our community advocacy groups working together right
now. Having a fair and livable community hangs in the balance.
We have two great assets in central
San Mateo County in the struggle to
make housing and health care affordable to all: Cynthia Cornell is a tireless
ghter for affordable housing in
Burlingame, while Peninsula Health
Care District is just as ceaseless in their
determination that district residents can
all access the health care they need.
Cynthia aims to make government and
business ensure that those who have
the least can still afford to live in
and contribute mightily to our communities. Were with her in that. We
serve our working poor neighbors,
who truly are struggling to make ends
meet here for their families.
And the Peninsula Health Care District
has been there with us all the way in
making health care accessible to those
who fall through every crack in the system. Look at their giving, youll see
that they support many organizations
that serve those who can afford least
(San Mateo Daily Journal, Feb. 8,
2016, Health District Awards Grants.
) There is no elitism here, just care and
compassion.
PHCDs proposed health care campus
is really only in the formative stages.
Its premature to take them to task on
that.
Rather, we strongly encourage meeting with them and providing input on
creative ways to serve everyone in
need. PHCD has been very receptive to
discussions with us about affordable
housing for those with health issues,
and we know that Peninsula Health Care
District does listen.

taught for 27 years. His removal from

BHS will negatively impact the school
where my older son graduated from in
2015 and my younger son will be a senior next year.
It is my impression that this is the result of conflicts with the current BHS
Principal, P. Di Yim, who is in her third
year of service and has announced her
resignation after this term. Principal
Yim had systematically removed many
of the classes and sections that Mr.
Nelson developed and taught for years.
Hestarted the AP government program
at BHS in 1994, wrote the AP economics program for the district in 1997,
and ran the district GATE program. All
three teaching and coordinator roles
have been affected. Within the same
week that Mr. Nelsons transfer to an
unnamed district high school was announced, Principal Yim announced her
resignation. The linkage of these two
events is unclear, but what is very clear
is that Nelson is loved and respected by
the BHS community and should be allowed to remain teaching there.
It is suspect that Mr. Nelson has not
been told what school he is being
transferred to, creating suspicion in
this constituents mind that the district
wants Mr. Nelson out of BHS more than
they want him somewhere else. Now
that Principal Yim is leaving, isnt it
time to stop the bleeding and leave Mr.
Nelson at BHS? I hope our new superintendent, Dr. Kevin Skelly, will hear the
many voices that have signed petitions, rallied at BHS, spoken at school
board meetings and sent letters of support for Kevin Nelson, and that he will
come to the logical conclusion to leave
Mr. Nelson at Burlingame High
School.
California used to have a part-time Legislature that sought and achieved

full-time status, and look what we have.
All I see is legislators who sit around
all day pontificating as to how they can
spend money, and boy, do they spend.
But what do they spend it on? Children
misbehave with impunity at our
schools and our roads are pitted and
need repair (we were once fourth in the
nation on what we taxed for road repair
and 44th in the nation on what we
spent for road repair, but this may or
may not still be the case).
If 41 states can govern with part-time
legislators, maybe we should go back
to that format and have our legislators
work and help pay back the huge debt
taxpayers are forced to pay and reduce
the huge obligation of pensions. Then
maybe our schools would become better
and our roads would not damage our
cars. Nothing changes behavior like
having to pay for it ourselves.

Empty promises
L
ast week, a friend asked for my thoughts on the recent

New Hampshire presidential primary. Before I could
answer, he cheerfully exclaimed how happy he was to
see U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders defeat former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton by a whopping 22 points.
I smiled and nodded. I then asked him why he favored Sanders
over Clinton. He quickly responded that he thoroughly enjoyed
hearing what Bernie had to say, among other things. Then I
posed a question that required much more thought on his part
Do you ever you ever consider how Sanders would accomplish
several of the free agendas he has promised? Taking a brief
moment to gather his thoughts, he
replied, I just like the fact that he
is addressing issues that few candidates are willing to address.
Reflecting on his response
made me think of one of President
Abraham Lincolns most
renowned statements. Lincoln
stated the number one rule in politics best when he won the presidential election of 1860: Get
elected. While the statement may
appear somewhat laughable, it
brings to light the greatest
Jonathan Madison
conundrum in politics: How does
a voter judge the discernment and character of a candidate if
they are simply being told what they want to hear? This is a
question that has plagued democratic political elections for
centuries. As the recent presidential primary elections illustrate, this presidential election cycle is certainly no exception.
It is no secret that politicians have a deeply rooted history
in failing to keep promises they make to voters during their
campaign. Take presidential candidates for example. President
George H.W. Bush promised American taxpayers that he
would never raise taxes in 1988, but subsequently decided to
employ tax hikes following his election. President Barack
Obama promised to fundamentally reform campaign finance
and close Guantanamo Bay. Now nearing the end of his second term as president, neither promise has been fulfilled.
The problem is that politicians understand all too well that
winning democratic elections requires telling voters what they
want to hear, whether or not it is truthful. We see this strategy
repeatedly employed by each major political party. You can
hear it when Sanders promises a host of government sponsored free agendas, such as universal health care and free college each of which sound great. While I am in favor of making affordable education more accessible, the agendas proposed by Sanders are not free and will cost a great deal of
money at the hand of taxpayers. We also see it when
Republican Candidate Donald Trump promises to fix our immigration reform dilemma by simply building a wall, banning
Muslims from entry to our country and making America great
again.
Rather than offering concrete evidence of how candidates are
going to address real concerns of the American people, many
politicians offer lip service and statements voters want desperately to hear. Do not be fooled promises without explanations are merely smoke and mirrors. History tells us there are
grave ramifications for nations that elect political candidates
based on gimmicks and popularity alone. Our nation deserves
candidates of substance whose actions speak louder than baseless rhetoric.
Take this election for example. A growing segment of GOP
voters prefer a candidate who is more concerned with ardently
advocating for the interests of the partys ideology, rather
than acting as a compromiser. Perhaps this is why Trump
tops all other GOP presidential candidates in recent polls.
By contrast, a large coalition of Democrat voters support
Sanders because he exemplifies a staunch liberal who would courageously fight for lower- and middle-class Americans through minimum wage hikes and a single payer health care system.
Concurrent with the rise of both partisan political candidates
is the single largest rise of independent voters in our nations
history. It is ironic that, at a time when partisan politics is at an
all-time high, a significant amount of Americans have refrained
from the notion of being affiliated with a political party.
These inconsistent trends tell us two things. First, it tells
us that Americans are increasingly rejecting party establishment candidates such as Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush because
they believe they have been consistently lied to by establishment candidates for years. Second, it tells us that an increasing number of American voters have grown tired of being
ignored by political candidates year after year. Rather than
relying on party affiliations, Americans are voting for candidates who appear to directly address their concerns.
Let us adopt candidates not just because of their appeal to
our concerns, but by concrete evidence, their tested experiences and records. The alternative is to vote for a political
candidate out of mere popularity, only to be surprised yet
again by great empty promises.

Japans Nikkei Index up; world stocks rally

By Kelvin Chang
U.S. futures, meanwhile, rose. Dow futures up

1.2 percent and those for the S&P 500 up 1.3 percent.
18,918.14. Australias S&P/ASX 200 rose

1.6 percent to 4,843.50. Taiwans benchmark was flat while markets in Southeast
Asia gained.
The Shanghai Composite Index in mainland China, though, lost 0.6 percent to finish at 2,746.20 after reopening following
the Lunar New Year holiday.
Chinese shares were also weighed down
by the latest monthly trade figures. Exports
fell 11 percent while imports slid by nearly
a fifth, according to customs data, highlighting persistent weakness in the worlds
second biggest economy.
Economists, however, were reserving
final analysis until figures for February are
out because the timing of the Lunar New
Year holiday distorts Chinas economic data
at the beginning of the year.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude
oil futures rose 29 cents to $29.73 a barrel
in electronic trading on the New York
Mercantile Exchange. The contract climbed
$3.23 on Friday. Brent crude, a benchmark
for international oils, gained 5 cents to
$34.04 a barrel in London.
HONG KONG World stocks rallied on

Monday, led by a jump in Japans main

central banks in Europe and Japan.
Will Wall Street closed for Presidents
Day, Japans benchmark Nikkei 225 soared
7.2 percent to close at 16,022.58, rebounding from last weeks slump to post its second biggest one-day gain in three years.
That led to big gains in Europe, where
Britains FTSE 100 closed 2 percent higher
at 5,824.28 and Germanys DAX gained 2.7
percent to 9,206.84. Frances CAC 40 rose
3 percent to close at 4,115.25.
Stocks began rallying after government
data showed Japans economy shrank 1.4
percent on an annualized basis last quarter
because of weak consumer demand and slower exports. Its a setback for Prime Minister
Shinzo Abes economic revival program,
which aims to stoke inflation through massive monetary easing. However, the report
also gives the government more reason to

open the stimulus taps wider to restore
growth, economists said.
Together with the recent slump in the
Nikkei and the appreciation of the yen, the
case for additional easing remains compelling, said Marcel Thieliant of Capital
Economics. He predicted the Bank of Japan
will step up bond purchases and push interest rates that are already in negative territory even lower.
Investor sentiment was also bolstered by
comments from Chinas central bank chief
playing down the likelihood of a one-off
devaluation of the yuan.
Peoples Bank of China Governor Zhou
Xiaochuan signaled in a Caixin magazine
interview published over the weekend that
there was no basis for further depreciation
of Chinas currency, providing relief for the
countrys exporting neighbors worried that
a weakening yuan would hurt their competitiveness.

Later in the day, stocks were nudged higher and the euro fell sharply after the
European Central Bank reiterated that more
stimulus would be considered at the next
policy meeting in March.
The euro was down 1 percent at $1.1138
after ECB chief Mario Draghi said Monday
there were a variety of instruments the
ECB could employ if it decided more stimulus is needed. It could pump more money
into the economy or cuts rates further,
something that would weigh on the value of
the euro.

ECB chief: parts of Europe

banking system face challenges
Comcast TV outage hits much

of U.S., but problem mostly fixed
FRANKFURT, Germany European Central

Bank head Mario Draghi says some eurozone
banks face challenges but that the system is
more resilient due to oversight that was
strengthened after the global financial crisis.
Draghi said Monday that thanks to new
supervision at the European Union level,
banks were in a position to bring down the
amount of bad loans burdening their finances
in an orderly manner over the next few years.
His comments in the European Parliament
follow a week of violent swings in the stock
prices of major European banks including
Deutsche Bank and Societe Generale. Draghi
said some banks faced challenges from litigation and restructuring costs as well as working
off soured investments.
Clearly, some parts of the banking sector in
the euro area still face a number of challenges,
Draghi said at a meeting of the parliament's
economic and monetary affairs committee in
Brussels.
The ECB carried out a wide-ranging check of
bank finances in 2014 that sought to identify
loans that banks were holding that had little
hope of being repaid. Draghi said the check had
forced banks to take steps to strengthen their
finances.
Europe moved more slowly than the United
States to clean up bank finances after the financial crisis that deepened with the bankruptcy of
U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers in
2008 and led to a global recession. Banks are
key to the wider economy because they supply
the credit needed for companies to expand.
The recent sharp drops in stock prices
reflected fears banks might be exposed to risks
in commodity producing markets, companies
and countries. Commodity prices have dropped
amid fears about the health of the global economy.
Draghi said the situation was amplified by
perceptions that banks may have difficulty
adjusting to an economy with lower growth
and lower interest rates. Low interest rates, in
part the result of central bank policies, have
squeezed bank earnings by narrowing the dif-
Customers of Comcast Corp. lost part of

their cable television service for several
hours in many major U.S. metropolitan
areas Monday, but the company said the
problem was xed in most places by early
afternoon.
Company spokeswoman Jenni Moyer
says engineers continue to work on what
she characterized as a temporary network
interruption.
Our engineers continue to work on this
issue and almost all services have already
been restored, she said. We apologize for
any inconvenience this has caused our customers.
The tracking site Downdetector. com
reports that the outage started around 6:30
a.m. Eastern time and affected much of the
East Coast from Washington, D. C. , to
Boston. Other affected areas included
Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis,
Houston, Denver and San Francisco. Repairs
were mainly completed between noon and 1
p.m., the company said.
Comcast, based in Philadelphia, says the
outage primarily affected TV service.
Customers lost some of their channels but
kept some service. Some customers weren't
affected at all, the company said.
Comcast said it was unclear what caused
the outage or how many subscribers were
affected.

HAVANA The Obama administration has

approved the first U.S. factory in Cuba in
more than half a century, allowing a twoman company from Alabama to build a plant
assembling as many as 1,000 small tractors
a year for sale to private farmers in Cuba.
The Treasury Department last week notified partners Horace Clemmons and Saul
Berenthal that they can legally build tractors
and other heavy equipment in a special economic zone started by the Cuban government to attract foreign investment.
Cuban officials already have publicly and
enthusiastically endorsed the project. The
partners said they expect to be building tractors in Cuba by the first quarter of 2017.
Everybody wants to go to Cuba to sell
something and thats not what were trying
to do. Were looking at the problem and how
do we help Cuba solve the problems that
they consider are the most important problems for them to solve, Clemmons said.
Its our belief that in the long run we both
win if we do things that are beneficial to
both countries.
The $5 million to $10 million plant would
be the first significant U.S. business investment on Cuban soil since Fidel Castro took
power in 1959 and nationalized billions of
dollars of U.S. corporate and private property. That confiscation provoked a U.S.
embargo on Cuba that prohibited virtually
all forms of commerce and fined non-U.S.
companies millions of dollars for doing
business with the island.
Letting an American tractor company
operate inside a Cuban government facility
would have been unimaginable before
Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro
declared on Dec. 17, 2014, that they would
restore diplomatic relations and move to
normalize trade, travel and other aspects of
the long-broken bilateral relationship.
Since then, Obama has been carving
exceptions into the embargo through a
series of executive actions, and his administration now says they allow U.S. manufacturing at the Mariel port and special economic zone about 30 miles west of Havana.
One exception allows U.S. companies to
export products that benefit private and
cooperative farmers in Cuba. Berenthal and
Clemmons say they will sell only to the private sector.
The Obama administration says it is eager
to make the opening with Cuba irreversible
by any future administration. Since the start
of the year, U.S. and Cuba have made a series
of announcements that appear designed part-
ly to create a sense of unstoppable momentum in their new relationship.

Cuba announced late last month that it
would more than double the number of public
Wi-Fi access spots to more than 100 across
the country this year and bring broadband
Internet to a small number of Cuban homes,
where it is currently illegal. Obama said in
2014 that Castro had promised to increase
Cubans access to the Internet as part of
detente.
On Saturday, Cuba announced that it had
returned a U.S. Hellfire missile that it said
was mistakenly shipped to Havana from
Paris in 2014. On Tuesday, Cubas Transport
Minister and the U.S. Secretary of
Transportation will sign a deal authorizing
the first regularly scheduled commercial
flights between the U.S. and Cuba since
shortly after the 1959 revolution.
The Oggun tractor plant, named after a god
in Cubas syncretic Santeria religion, will
assemble commercially available components into a durable and easy-to-maintain
25-horsepower tractor selling for less than
$10,000, Clemmons and Berenthal said. The
men believe they can sell hundreds of the
tractors a year to Cuban farmers with financing from relatives outside the country and to
non-government organizations seeking to
help improve Cuban agriculture, which suffers from low productivity due mostly to
excessive control of both basic supplies and
prices by an inefficient, centrally planned
state bureaucracy.
I have two countries that for 60 years
have been in the worst of terms, anything I
can do to bring to the two countries and the
two people together is tremendously satisfying, said Berenthal, a Cuban-born semiretired software engineer who left the country at age 16.
He met Clemmons, who is from Paint
Rock, Alabama, when they worked at IBM in
the 1970s. They left to form a successful
cash-register software company that grew to
earn $30 million a year before they sold it in
1995 for a sum that Clemmons says was
enough that I dont have to work.
Between their own capital and commitments from private investors they say they
have enough cash in hand to build the Oggun
factory as soon as Cuba lets them proceed.
Everythings locked in, Clemmons said.
For the projects first three years,
Clemmons and Berenthal say they will
export components from the United States
for assembly in Cuba. They hope to eventually begin manufacturing many of the parts
themselves on the island. They said they
expect to start with 30 Cuban employees
and, if things go as planned, grow within
five years to as many as 300.

SAN FRANCISCO After an offseason

spending spree that targeted most of San
Franciscos glaring holes, manager Bruce
Bochy heads into spring training with fewer
questions than ever about the Giants roster.
San Francisco just might be poised for
another even-year title run.
After committing $220 million to fortify
the rotation with high-priced additions
Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija and filling
a hole in center field and the leadoff spot with
Denard Span, the Giants are looking to once
again rely on their tried and true formula of
strong pitching and defense and a lineup
filled with contact hitters who can pressure
the opposing staff.
Were set everywhere right now, Bochy
said. I usually go to spring training with some
question marks. Across the infield and outfield,
this is as set as weve been and as good a defensive club as Ive ever had. If we all play to our
capabilities, I feel like we have a chance to be
one of the best defensive teams in baseball.
Thats how good we can be defensively.
The Giants are coming off an 84-win season that left them in second place in the NL
West, eight games out of the playoffs last
season. That marked the third straight time
they followed a World Series title by missing
the playoffs.
If the pattern continues, San Francisco
would have a fourth title to celebrate following the ones won in 2010, 12 and 14.

Skyline gears up for playoff push

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its go time for the Skyline womens basketball team.

With two games remaining in the regular
season, the Trojans are staring down the barrel of a must-win game Wednesday against
Chabot. A logjam of three teams fighting for
second place in the Coast Conference North
has Chabot currently in second, a half game
ahead of third-place San Jose City and one
game ahead of fourth-place Skyline.
Trojans head coach Chris Watters is confident three teams from the Coast Conference
North will qualify for the playoffs. There is a

chance of a fourth team sneaking in. With
Skyline holding a slight edge over Chabot in
RPI ranking, a pair of wins this week would
all but guarantee the Trojans a playoff berth.
I think if we beat Chabot Wednesday,
were in, Watters said. But theyre a tough
matchup for us. Theyre pretty athletic. They
beat us at their place (63-52 on Jan. 22). It

Dunn scores 5 goals in U.S. rout of Puerto Rico

FRISCO, Texas Crystal Dunn tied a

national team record with five goals and U.S.
women routed Puerto Rico 10-0 on Monday
night to win Group A in the CONCACAF
qualifying tournament for the Rio Olympics.
The top-ranked Americans scored three
times within 1:56 during the second half and
outshot Puerto Rico 32-1.
The U.S. can clinch one of the 12 slots in
Brazil with a win in its CONCACAF semifinal game Friday in Houston. It will face the
runner-up of Group B, which will finish play
Tuesday. Canada is expected to win that
group with Guyana or Trinidad & Tobago finishing second.
The U.S. remained unbeaten in all-time
CONCACAF qualifying play at 16-0-1, having scored 91 goals and allowing four.
The tournament is the Americans first
competitive play since winning last summers World Cup in Canada. They have won
three straight Olympic titles and four of the
five that have been staged in womens soccer.
Group As other semifinalist is Costa Rica,
which edged Mexico 2-1 in Mondays first
game at Toyota Stadium.
Dunns scores came in the sixth, 21st,
62nd, 85th and 87th minutes. She had five
career goals going into the game.
The other five goals came from Carli Lloyd
(on a penalty kick), Kelley OHara, Christen
Press, Samantha Mewis (her first career
score) and on an own goal.
U.S. coach Jill Ellis opening lineup

Solo was among the regular starters rested.
The newcomers including Mallory Pugh,
17, the youngest American woman to start a
qualifying match. Pugh assisted on Dunns
first goal and was tripped in the 18th minute,
leading to Lloyds penalty kick.
Alyssa Naeher earned the shutout in her
first CONCACAF qualifying appearance.
It was Lloyds 85th career international
goal and 11th in Olympic qualifying, three
off Abby Wambachs U.S. record.

OHaras score came on a back heel near the
goal line in the 45th minute off a cross from
Stephanie McCaffrey.
Puerto Rico made its first appearance in the
CONCACAF qualifying tournament and had
never previously faced the United States at
the senior level. It was outscored in its three
matches 25-0.
This U.S. roster features only 13 of the 20
players who were on the World Cup team.
Christie Rampone and Megan Rapinoe are
injured, and Amy Rodriguez and Sydney
Leroux are pregnant and will miss the
Olympics.
MADRID Lionel Messi attracted global

attention with the trick penalty kick he pulled
off with Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez in
the latest round of the Spanish league.
Messi took the spot-kick on Sunday but,
instead of a shot, he simply rolled the ball to the
side for Suarez, who rushed
in from outside of the box
to easily score past the
Celta Vigo goalkeeper.
The play divided opinion, seen as either part of
the soccer spectacle or
Lionel Messi disrespectful to the
opposition.
I dont think it was disrespectful,
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta said. Its
unusual, but it can be done that way. We have
always respected our rivals and the players we
play against. I dont think there should be a
debate about this.
The play happened with Barcelona leading
3-1 at the Camp Nou, going on to win 6-1.
I was bothered because they scored, not
because of the way they did it, Celta defender
Gustavo Cabral said after the heavy defeat.
Celta coach Eduardo Berizzo said it was a different way of taking the penalty, nothing
more. Barcelona coach Luis Enrique admitted
that some people wont like what was done, but
its a legal play. He noted that Barcelona
players always think about the spectacle, not
only about winning games and titles.
the Central Coast Section for the 116-pound

division. Lizette Young was ranked No. 4.
As the PALs top two wrestlers in the division squared off under the spotlight though,
Lizette Young showcased her tactical defensive
skills and turned the tables on her opponent
with a sudden attack. Ruiz attempted a leg drag,
but Lizette Young avoided it, countering with
an arm drag takedown. Utilizing the momentum as she took Ruiz to the mat, Lizette Young
produced a quick pin for the victory.
The secret to Lizette Youngs success is getting as much mat time as possible with the
competition at neighboring schools. In addi-
tion to continuing her club training at

Pacificas Coastside Grapplers, she also trains
at Oceana, South City and El Camino; and
thats just the neighboring schools.
I like to get as many touches wrestle
with as many people as I can, Lizette Young
said.
Heading into the PAL championships, however, the local programs didnt want to train
together so close to having to compete for all
the marbles at the league tournament. So,
Lizette Young turned to a friend in the East Bay,
Laylani Allen of Castlemont-Oakland, who
was preparing for her teams upcoming North
Coast Section wrestling tournament.

Meanwhile, Lizette Young is still dedicated to her decorated career on the club circuit.
While high schools in California are limited to folkstyle wrestling, she has shown a
mastery of freestyle as a three-time club AllAmerican from 2013-15. With this, she is
following in her fathers footsteps, as
James Young was Greco-Roman state champion during his high school heyday.
I always tell people my daughter is going to
be a strong individual because she has had to
overcome a lot of obstacles, James Young
said.

Iraqi soccer star
off to Olympics
SPORTS
By Susannah George
BAGHDAD Islamic State militants drove

Ayman Hussein from his home. Eighteen
months later, he sent Iraqs soccer team to the
Olympics.
Hussein scored the game-winning goal
against Qatar last month in
a qualifying match, uniting
Iraqis in a rare moment of
triumph and becoming a
national celebrity. But his
journey to Brazil has been
marked by the same violence and displacement that
have shattered the lives of
so many of his fans.
Ayman Hussein
Hussein and his family
fled their home in a village outside the northern
city of Kirkuk as IS swept across northern and
western Iraq in the summer of 2014. His brother, who was working for the local police, was
abducted by the extremists and has not been
heard from since.
The shy 23-year-old is still coming to terms
with his newfound fame. During a recent practice with his local club on a patch of yellowing
grass at a Baghdad sporting complex, he paused
to let a fan take a selfie with him as his teammates gently teased him.
I never thought that one goal would cause
this much happiness, Hussein said.

Leading Russian anti-doping official dies suddenly

By James Ellingworth
MOSCOW The former executive director

of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency has died,
two months after resigning amid a doping
scandal that triggered the suspension of the
countrys track and field program.
In a telephone interview with The
Associated Press on Monday, RUSADA
spokeswoman Nataliya Koshel confirmed that
Nikita Kamaev died on Sunday. He was 52.
The preliminary cause of death was a
massive heart attack, RUSADA said in a
statement.
Kamaev is the second former senior RUSDA
official to die this month.
Kamaev was an experienced and understanding manager who was distinguished by
his high level of professionalism, the
agency said.
Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko paid
tribute to Kamaev for having created
GIANTS
Samardzija allowed the most hits, homers
and earned runs in the AL last season, but
had a 2.99 ERA the previous season with
the As and Cubs.
Russias anti-doping system.

Its a very unexpected death. The man
seemed healthy and everything was fine,
Mutko told Russias R-Sport agency.
Former RUSADA general director Ramil
Khabriev told the Tass news agency he
believed Kamaev had died at home after feeling pain in his chest following a session of
cross-country skiing.
Kamaevs death came less than two weeks
after another former RUSADA figure. Founding
chairman Vyacheslav Sinev, who left the
agency in 2010, died on Feb. 3, according to
RUSADA, which didnt elaborate.
The World Anti-Doping Agency issued a
brief statement, saying it was saddened to
learn of the deaths of the two men.
Kamaev and Khabriev resigned in December
as the Russian Sports Ministry pushed for the
agency to carry out reforms under new leadership. That was a month after RUSADA was
stopped from conducting drug tests when the
World Anti-Doping Agency declared it non-
compliant with global anti-doping rules.

A WADA commission accused RUSADA of
covering up cases of doping by leading
Russian athletes, giving them advance knowledge of supposedly surprise tests and allowing
banned athletes to continue competing.
The WADA report led the International
Association of Athletics Federations to suspend Russias track and field program from
global competition, leaving its athletes in
danger of missing this years Olympics in Rio
de Janeiro.
Kamaev was the day-to-day head of
RUSADA operations from 2011 until his
resignation in December. The day after the
WADA commissions report emerged accusing RUSADA of covering up doping, he
made a vehement defense of the organization, saying it had been fighting drug use
effectively, and claiming that the commission produced a biased report based on unreliable testimony from athletes who had
been caught doping.
Brandons deal
Health questions
After winning his first Gold Glove award

and a Silver Slugger, SS Brandon Crawford
was rewarded with a $75 million, six-year
contract. The Giants hope last years breakthrough campaign when Crawford more
than doubled his career high in homers with
21, drove in 84 runs and led all NL shortstops with a .466 slugging percentage is
just the start.
Second baseman Joe Panik missed most

of the last two months of the season with
back problems and is being counted on to
be healthy this year. Panik batted .312 with
a .378 on-base percentage and is part of the
strong up-the-middle defense with
Crawford, Span and catcher Buster Posey.
Span also has injury concerns after being
limited to 61 games last year because of
three operations. But he is expected to be
healthy for spring training.
Back of rotation
The top of the rotation is set with
Madison Bumgarner, Cueto and Samardzija
forming a formidable trio. Jake Peavy
looks set as the No. 4 starter but the final
spot in the rotation is up for grabs. Matt
Cain has been limited to four wins the past
two seasons because of injuries but will
compete with Chris Heston, who won 12
games as a rookie, to fill that role.

McIlroy and Fowler set

for a primetime match
By Doug Ferguson
For the first time in more than a

decade, golf is getting another
prime-time exhibition. Except
this one will be live under the
lights.
Quicken Loans is finalizing
details for a match involving Rory
McIlroy
and
Rickie Fowler a
week before the
U. S Open, a
person familiar
with the negotiations told
the Associated
Press
on
Monday.
Rory McIlroy
The person
spoke on condition
of
anonymity
because
the
match has not
b
e
e
n
announced.
The
match
would be at
Detroit
Golf
Rickie Fowler Club on June 7,
the Tuesday before U.S. Open week
begins at Oakmont outside of
Pittsburgh.
The first two hours would be televised live by Golf Channel, followed by the 9-11 p.m. slot shown
live on CBS. It was not clear how
many holes would be broadcast
under the lights.
Unlike the Monday night
matches involving Tiger Woods in
1999 and 2000, there would be a
celebrity component with this
exhibition. The person said it
would be Team Rory against
Team Rickie.
Still to be determined are the
celebrities and the format.
Quicken Loans, the Detroitbased mortgage company, is no
stranger to offbeat sporting challenges. It already has staged the
first college basketball game on

an active aircraft carrier, and two
years ago offered $1 billion to
anyone who completed a perfect
bracket in the NCAA basketball
tournament.
In golf, it became title sponsor
of the Quicken Loans National,
hosted by Woods, in 2014 and has
a personal endorsement deal with
Fowler. As part of its PGA Tour
involvement, Quicken Loans has a
sweepstakes in which it pays
someones mortgage for a year
when a PGA Tour player makes a
hole-in-one.
McIlroy, who is No. 3 in the
world going into the Northern
Trust Open this week at Riviera,
and Fowler (No. 4 in the world) are
two of the most popular figures in
golf.
Both live in South Florida, and
Fowler last year played in the Irish
Open to help out McIlroy because
of McIlroys involvement.
Golf has a heritage of such exhibitions. A century ago, the value of
winning a major was to be selected
to compete in such exhibitions,
where the prize money was greater
than anything won at a major.
Woods resurrected that concept
in 1999 with the Showdown at
Sherwood against David Duval
(they were No. 1 and No. 2 in the
world at the time), and a year later
against Sergio Garcia.
Those Monday night exhibitions got away from head-to-head
matches and switched to team
events that included women and
seniors. They stopped in 2005.
The rating peaked in 2000 at
7.6, and dropped to 3.0 in 2005
when Woods and John Daly played
Phil Mickelson and Retief Goosen
at the Bridges on Rancho Santa Fe.
Lights were only used at those
matches when it got too dark.
Woods and McIlroy played a
stroke-play exhibition in 2012 in
China that was available through
live streaming in America.

Cancer patients snagged in health law paperwork

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
coverage disruptions due to complex paperwork requirements

seem commonplace in the health laws system of subsidized private
insurance, which currently covers about 12.7 million people.
WASHINGTON Walt Whitlow was under

treatment for cancer when he got an unwelcome surprise.
His financial assistance under President
Barack Obamas health care law got slashed.
That meant his premium quadrupled and his
deductible went from $900 to $4,600.
Hundreds of thousands of people lose subsidies under the health law, or even their
policies, when they get tangled in a web of
paperwork problems involving income,
citizenship and taxes. Some are dealing
with serious illnesses like cancer.
Advocates fear the problems, if left unresolved, could undermine the nations historic gains in health insurance.
Ana Granado was scheduled for reconstruction after breast cancer surgery when she
was notified that her coverage would be canceled because of questions about her immigration status. Legal aid attorneys got that
cleared up quickly, but Granados financial
assistance for her premiums was suspended.
Lynn Herrin got irritated when she had to
pay $700 to the IRS after it determined she
got too big a tax credit for premiums under
the health law.
Since she was also having trouble finding
a doctor who accepted her insurance, Herrin
canceled. It was a costly mistake. She was
diagnosed with oral and neck cancer and
depleted her family savings to pay for treatment.
Not every case is as distressing, but coverage disruptions due to complex paperwork
requirements seem commonplace in the
health laws system of subsidized private
insurance, which currently covers about
12.7 million people.
The government says about 470,000 people had coverage terminated through Sept.
30 last year because of unresolved documentation issues involving citizenship and
immigration. During the same time, more
than 1 million households had their financial assistance adjusted because of income
discrepancies. Advocates say adjusted usually means the subsidies get eliminated.
When people get that bill for a full-price
plan, they panic and they cancel the insurance, said Elizabeth Colvin of Foundation
Communities, an Austin nonprofit that
serves low-income people. Some worry the
problem could undermine the laws insurance markets, now in their third year.
These problems can grow, and they can
contribute to undermining consumer faith
in the system, and that could lead to attrition, said Rachel Klein of Families USA,
an advocacy group that supports the health
law.
Pressured by a Republican-led Congress
hostile to Obamas overhaul, the administration is highly sensitive to criticism that
some people may be getting benefits
theyre not legally entitled to. But Health
and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M.
Burwell recently acknowledged the paperwork tangle is more likely to trap the innocent than fraudsters. The administration has
made customer retention a priority, and
Burwell said shes focused on making the
system less challenging for consumers eligible for benefits.

site in the 2016 sign-up season helped cut

down on problems. The technology now
alerts consumers to gaps in their applications that could later trigger documentation
problems.
If theres a documentation issue, consumers have about three months to straighten things out. But Whitlow, a self-employed
remodeling contractor from Volente, Texas,
said he was blindsided.
He had requested that HealthCare.gov contact him by mail, but he found out his subsidy was slashed when his doctors office
called the family. Not only was he on the
hook for the full, unsubsidized premium, but
he also faced far higher copays and
deductibles.
It kind of blew my mind, said Whitlow.
He said he had submitted bank statements to
prove his income, but apparently that wasnt enough. His family chipped in to maintain his coverage while he got follow-up
treatment for throat cancer.
I was really impressed with the quality of
care, but the paperwork was just unbelievable, said Whitlow. With help from
Foundation Communities, the family
appealed and eventually won.
Granado, a legal immigrant from Brazil,
lives with her daughter in Charlotte, North
Carolina. Under the health overhaul, legal
immigrants are eligible for subsidized private coverage in the insurance exchanges.
With daughter Andreia Walker translating
her Portuguese, Granado said the health care
law saved her life by allowing her to get

coverage after she was diagnosed with
breast cancer. Under the law, insurers can no
longer turn away patients who are sick. The
family was billed more than $100,000 for
treatment before Granado got insurance.
But the paperwork battle, first over her
immigration status and then over her
income, was a huge stress, she said. The
family spent hours on the phone with
HealthCare.gov as Granado was preparing
for reconstructive surgery. Her daughter said
they would have been lost without representation from Legal Services of Southern
Piedmont.
Herrins experience is a cautionary tale
about acting out of frustration with the new
system.
Herrin, of Wimberley, Texas, had sold a
family business after her husbands death
and committed to living simply so she
could do volunteer work. She signed up for
health insurance in 2014 when it became a
legal requirement. She was quoted a discounted premium, after tax credits.
But last year at tax time, Herrin said she
found out she owed $700 to the IRS - one of
1.8 million taxpayers who had to repay
health insurance credits, an average of $860
apiece.
Herrin canceled her policy in disgust,
only to be diagnosed with cancer a few
months later. She spent about $70,000 in
savings on treatment, but was able to sign
up for a new policy that started in January.
I ended up getting mad about it and just
canceling, but Im the one who screwed up,
said Herrin. It did make me mad that they
quoted me an amount, and then I filled out
my taxes and I owed. I dont think it is fair.

Zika-related abortion debate sparks backlash

By Jenny Barchfield
RIO DE JANEIRO Before her son was

Still, Alves says she would have gone ahead

and she thinks thousands of pregnant women

I know its very difficult to have a special
needs child, but Im absolutely against abortion, said Alves, who lives in Vitoria da
Conquista, a city in the impoverished northeastern region where Brazils tandem Zika and
microcephaly outbreaks have been centered.
Alarm in recent months over the Zika virus,
which many researchers believe can cause
microcephaly in the fetuses of pregnant
women, has prompted calls, both inside and
outside Brazil, to loosen a near-ban on abortion
in the worlds most populous Catholic country.

condition it may be, Sergio da Rocha, the president of the National Conference of Brazilian
Bishops, said earlier this week.
Abortion is illegal except in cases of rape,
danger to the mothers life or anencephaly,
another birth defect involving the brain although in practice wealthy women in urban
areas have relatively easy access to safe abortions in private clinics, while the poor often
rely on dicey back-alley procedures.
The growing national debate is also spilling
out into the courts, and will likely intensify in
the months to come.
A judge in the central city of Goiania has said
he will authorize abortions in severe cases of
microcephaly. Some of the nations top newspapers have also weighed in, running editorials
urging abortion laws to be revisited.
The most logical solution would be to revise
the penal code relating to abortion, decriminalizing the practice. The legislation is three-quarters of a century old, the daily Folha de S. Paulo
said in a recent editorial.
A prominent group of attorneys and psychologists is preparing a lawsuit calling for women
infected with Zika during their pregnancies to
be allowed to get legal abortions. The group,
which in 2012 won an eight-year legal battle
that succeeded in adding anencephaly to justifications for obtaining a legal abortion, hopes to
take the suit before Brazils Supreme Court early
this year.
Before the outbreak, groups that support
abortion groups were on the defensive following a proposal by the powerful Pentecostal
lobby that would further restrict abortion access
by adding additional hurdles for rape victims,
such as getting an exam and filing a police
report. The proposal has been approved by a
House of Representatives committee, though
its prospects in the full chamber are unclear.

Noise harder
on children
than adults
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON From the cacophony of

day care to the buzz of TV and electronic
toys, noise is more distracting to a childs
brain than an adults, and new research
shows it can hinder how youngsters learn.
In fact, one of the worst offenders when a
tots trying to listen is other voices babbling in the background, researchers said
Saturday at a meeting of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science.
What a child hears in a noisy environment is not what an adult hears, said Dr.
Lori Leibold of Boys Town National
Research Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska.
Thats a Catch-22 in our increasingly
noisy lives because young children learn
language from hearing it, said Dr.
Rochelle Newman of the University of
Maryland. They have a greater need for
understanding speech around them but at the
same time theyre less equipped to deal with
it.
Its not their ability to hear. For healthy
children, the auditory system is pretty well
developed by a few months of age.
Consider how hard it is to carry on a conversation in a noisy restaurant. Researchers

large buildings which will house 767,000
square feet of office space and other amenities.
The same company also purchased in
October the property which is home to the
Virgin America headquarters at 555 Airport
Blvd., and has plans to spend $10 million on
developing the property into a business park
which is expected to be called the Global
Innovation Center. In all, H&Q Asia Pacific
has pumped nearly $150 million into development of the Bayfront area.
The project at the drive-in site is expected to
bring roughly 3,000 new jobs to Burlingame,
which has raised concerns for officials regarding the capacity of the existing infrastructure
to accommodate the projected increased traffic, among other issues.
Some residents have expressed reservations
regarding maintaining the natural character of

the Bayfront area in Burlingame through the
proposed development projects.
A portion of property targeted as the potential park site has been identified as a seasonal
wetland, which could serve as a hurdle for the
project, under guidelines set by the Regional
Water Quality Control Board, the agency
which maintains jurisdiction over the site.
Councilmembers have expressed in the past
frustrations regarding the potential need to
adjust designs of the park to accommodate
wetlands which only occur during the rainy
season.
According to a letter sent by the California
State Lands Commission to the city, the
potential for sea level rise should also be considered as officials discuss investing in a
property which abuts the water.
According to a response on behalf of city

officials, the property is above the expected
peak tide elevation which could eventually
reach the Bayfront property in the coming
100 years, quelling concerns regarding water
levels.
Under direction of the council, city staff
could spend the coming months further
assessing the potential environmental
impacts of the project, and identifying funding sources for the park as well, according to
the report.
Like any capital project, the merits of the
proposed park will need to be considered in
relation to other community objectives,
including funding and prioritization relative
to other projects, said the report.

ects on the Crestmoor campus for teachers and

Moving d.tech to Oracle could mean the end

Swifts 1989 wins top Grammy

Kendrick Lamar cleans up with five awards, including for best rap album
By Mesfin Fekadu
LOS ANGELES Taylor Swifts official switch from

country to pop with her multi-hit, best-selling 1989
album brought the singer her second Grammy Award win for
album of the year.
Swift was shocked when she won the nights top prize,
beating out Kendrick Lamar, Chris Stapleton, Alabama
Shakes and the Weeknd. Swift used her speech to encourage
young women who feel defeated at times or discouraged by
others.
There will be people along the way that will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or
your fame. You just focus on the work and dont let those
people sidetrack you, she said.
Her speech could be directed partly to Kanye West, who
recently said in a new song that he made Swift famous after
he stole her microphone at the 2009 MTV Video Music
Awards.
Beyonce also seemed to make a statement when she presented the final award for the night, record of the year.
Art is the unapologetic celebration of culture through
self-expression. It can impact people in a variety of ways
for different reasons at different times. Some will react.
Some will respond. And some will be moved, she said,
seeming to speak to those who were critical of her Super
Bowl performance of the anthem, Formation.
Swift, who won the album of the year Grammy for
Fearless in 2009, walked away Monday with three awards,
including best pop vocal album and music video for Bad
Blood, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Alabama Shakes also won three awards, though Lamar was
the nights big winner with five.
He won best rap album for To Pimp a Butterfly as well as
rap performance, rap song, rap/sung performance and music
video. Along with his wins, Lamar also had a show-stopping moment when he took the stage.
He started as he appeared beaten, in handcuffs, with
chains around his hands and a bruise on his eyes. He went
on to fuse rap, jazz, reggae and African sounds for a commanding performance as he rapped The Blacker the Berry
and the Grammy-nominated Alright passionately. He
ended with a map of Africa, and the city of Compton
imprinted in it.
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars won two awards for
JAZZ
School District where she has worked as a visual and performing arts coordinator.
Savanna Jazz currently operates as a sports bar but the
owners want to have live music performances in the rear of
the building where Clooneys had a pool table, jukeboxes
and the occasional live band. Live entertainment at
Clooneys, however, was not permitted, according to a staff
report by Associate Planner Lisa Porras.
Staff is recommending the commission approve the permit.
As you all know, jazz is not an income generating medium but it is important to the soul and the aesthetics of our
community, thus we should do all that we can to preserve
and support Americas only indigenous art form. Jazz as an
art form has lifted this nation to the status of cultural super
Uptown Funk, including record of the

year. Ronson gave a shout-out to Prince,
James Brown and George Clinton for
being leaders in funk.
Justin Bieber had a shining moment:
He won his first Grammy on Monday
night for best dance recording for
Where Are U Now with Skrillex and
Diplo.
The Grammys also marked first-time
Taylor Swift
wins for Alabama Shakes, the Weeknd,
Stapleton, Pitbull and Ed Sheeran, who
won song of the year for Thinking out
Loud.
Alabama Shakes three wins included
best alternative music album for Sound
& Color, as well as rock song and rock
performance for Dont Wanna Fight,
which they performed.
The Weeknd, who won two awards, perKendrick Lamar formed in a cube that was brightly lit for
Cant Feel My Face until he switched
to a piano-tinged version of his upbeat hit In the Night.
Stapleton, who has written for dozens of country acts, won
best country solo performance and country album for
Traveller.
Stapleton lost best country song to Girl Crush songwriters Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey and Lori McKenna, while
the group behind Girl Crush Little Big Town won
best country duo/group performance for the hit track.
The Grammys featured a number of performances, including touching tributes: Lady Gaga was in David Bowieinspired makeup and gear as she ran through 10 of the icons
hits, including Space Oddity, Changes, Fame, Lets
Dance and Heroes.
B.B. King was remembered with a rousing performance by
Stapleton, Gary Clark. Jr and Bonnie Raitt all on guitar
and vocals with The Thrill Is Gone.
The Hollywood Vampires, a supergroup of Johnny Depp,
Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, performed in their first televised performance and honored Motorheads Lemmy

Deadly airstrikes hit hospitals
and school in northern Syria
BEIRUT Airstrikes blamed on Russia hit
at least two hospitals and a school in northern Syria on Monday, killing and wounding
dozens of civilians and further dimming
hopes for a temporary truce, as government
troops backed by Russian warplanes pressed a
major offensive north of Aleppo.
The raids came days after Russia and other
world powers agreed to bring about a pause in
fighting that would allow for the delivery of
humanitarian aid and the revival of peace
talks.
The projected truce agreed on Friday in
Munich was to begin in a week, but there was
no sign that would happen.
On Monday, Syrian state TV reported that
pro-government forces have entered the
northern town of Tel Rifaat, where they were
fighting fierce battles against insurgents.
Tel Rifaat is a major stronghold of militants
fighting to overthrow President Bashar
Assad.
Capturing Tel Rifaat would bring government forces closer to their target of Azaz, near
the Turkish border.

Proclaiming innocence,
ex-Israeli PM goes to prison
JERUSALEM Former Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert on Monday began a 19-month
prison sentence for bribery and obstruction of justice, defiantly proclaiming his
innocence in a farewell
video as he became the
first Israeli premier to be
placed behind bars.
His
imprisonment
capped a stunning fall
from grace that ended

round of peace efforts
with the Palestinians
Ehud Olmert and ushered in the era of
Benjamin Netanyahu, a
hardliner widely criticized in the region
and around the world.
Olmert checked into the Maasiyahu
prison in central Israel early Monday,
hours after releasing the three and a halfREUTERS
minute video. It shows a sullen and wearylooking Olmert alluding to his peace Pope Francis waves to the crowd after celebrating mass at San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico.

Pope denounces exploitation

of Mexicos indigenous people
SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mexico

Pope Francis denounced the centuries-old
exploitation and social exclusion of
Mexicos Indians on Monday, saying the
world should instead ask their forgiveness and
learn from their culture and appreciation of
nature.
Francis celebrated the Indians during a visit
to the southern state of Chiapas, a center of
indigenous culture. He presided over a Mass in
three native languages in a service that also
featured a traditional dance of prayer and a celebration of married deacons in Chiapas,
whose role has been revived under his papacy.
In his homily, historys rst Latin
American pope melded two of his core concerns: appreciation for indigenous cultures
and the need to care for the environment.
We can no longer remain silent before one
of the greatest environmental crises in world
history, he told the crowd of several thousand indigenous people, some in traditional
dress, who gathered under clear blue skies at a
sports complex in the mountain city of San
Cristobal de las Casas.
In this regard, you have much to teach us.
The soft sounds of marimbas accompanied
the Mass, which was celebrated in front of a
replica of the brilliant yellow and red facade
of the San Cristobal cathedral, where Francis
visited later in the day.
Crowds chanted Long live the pope of the

poor! and Welcome, pope of the struggle!
as he arrived. Some 500,000 faithful were
expected to see the pope in the city, including
about 100,000 who gathered on the dirt eld
for the Mass.
Francis issued a sweeping apology last year
for the Catholic Churchs colonial-era crimes
against Americas indigenous. He revisited
the issue again Monday, denouncing how, in
a systematic and organized way, indigenous
people have been misunderstood and excluded
from society over the course of history.
Some have considered your values, culture
and traditions to be inferior, he said.
Others, intoxicated by power, money and
market trends, have stolen your lands or contaminated them.
He called for a collective Forgive me.
Todays world, ravaged as it is by a throwaway culture, needs you!
The pope has frequently expressed admiration for indigenous peoples, particularly
their sense of being custodians of the environment. As archbishop in Argentina, he was
heavily responsible for a major document of
the entire Latin American church hierarchy in
which bishops praised the harmonious way
indigenous people live with nature. As pope,
he penned an environmental encyclical
denouncing the exploitation of the planet by
the rich at the expense of the poor.
