This April 12, Toluas second

The parole board could have let
Pena go free or postpone another
hearing for three, five, seven, 10

Steve Wagstaffe.
Pena must wait longer before
having another chance at parole
due to misbehavior. Since being
sent to prison, Pena received three
serious rules violations for violence, prompting the board to
decide he wasnt fit to be released,
Wagstaffe said.

Two attacks were on fellow


inmates, one was for physically
resisting a corrections officer.
Secondly, he by his own admission, continues to associate with
gangmembers, Wagstaffe said,

Gas pipeline explosions


bring new safety proposal
By Matthew Brown
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BILLINGS, Mont. U.S. officials moved


Thursday to strengthen safety rules for the
nations 300,000-mile network of natural
gas transmission pipelines in a belated
response to numerous fiery accidents,
including a 2010 San Bruno explosion that
killed eight people and injured more than
50.
The Department of Transportation proposal would expand inspection and repair rules
to include lines in some rural areas and
recently-installed lines in burgeoning gas
drilling fields.
Pressure-testing for leaks would be
required on older lines that were previously
exempt, such as the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company pipe constructed in 1956 that
broke and torched a residential neighborhood in San Bruno six years ago.
But the government sidestepped for now
action on emergency valves that can automatically shut down ruptured gas lines. That
issue was highlighted by San Bruno, where a
30-inch-diameter pipeline buried beneath a
suburban street continued spewing gas for
95 minutes after it broke, destroying 38
homes and damaging 70 others before a utility worker manually shut it down.
The Associated Press has reported on the
potential benefits of automatic valves, and
safety officials have urged making them
mandatory. The gas industry has resisted, in
part due to their potential high cost.
In the past two decades, the government
has recorded more than 2,000 accidents on
gas transmission lines across the U.S.,
resulting in 46 deaths, 181 injuries and $1.8
billion in damages.
The AP obtained details on Thursdays

over the next 15 years, according to federal and industry officials. Benefits primarily from hundreds of avoided accidents would total $3. 2 billion to $4. 7

State ethics panel boosts


lobbying disclosure rule
Heather Rowan, commission attorney

lobbyist, Remke said after the hearing.


The regulation has been criticized for
allowing former lawmakers to legally skirt
a mandatory one-year waiting period
against lobbying their former colleagues
after they leave office.
Thursdays vote attempts to toughen the
rule. However, Rowan said executives who
have occasional contact with lawmakers can
still avoid disclosure.
Bill Dombrowski, president and chief
executive of the California Retailers
Association, said he stopped registering as
a lobbyist more than a decade ago because
regulators were changing the rules constantly.
It didnt make sense for me to continue
being a registered lobbyist because thats
not what I was doing most of the time anyway, Dombrowski said. Theres no way I
come close to the threshold.
He and other executives who dont believe
they meet the states definition of lobbyists
have used the exemption to avoid tracking
their time at the Legislature.

California eases water cutbacks


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO California further


eased some water cutbacks Thursday as a
rainy March lessens the states five-year
drought.
The state Department of Water Resources
announced it would be able to give its client
water agencies 45 percent of their water
allocations this year. Thats up from as low
as 5 percent in 2014, in the middle of
Californias driest four-year stretch on
record.
In January and again in March, winter
storms have been bringing vital snowpack
to the Sierra Nevada and rain to Northern and
Central California reservoirs.

Its the third such increase in recent


months. The easing of cutbacks could affect
up to two-thirds of Californias nearly 40
million people, and just under a million
acres of irrigated farmland.
Despite Thursdays easing, the states
cities and towns will remain under a mandatory conservation order of 20 percent and
up, for now, state water officials say.
The U.S. Drought Monitor said Thursday
that almost all of California 99.5 percent
remains in some level of drought.
But with a rainy March for the northern
half and center of the state, the weekly
drought monitor found 74 percent of the
state was in severe drought or worse, down
from 83 percent a week earlier.

SACRAMENTO Californias political


watchdog panel voted Thursday to change
state rules in an attempt to limit the practice
of so-called ride-alongs in which people
who are not registered lobbyists tag along
to meetings with public officials.
But some say the move will do little to
curb the ongoing problem of unreported
lobbying.
People who are paid more than $2,000 a
month to directly communicate with public
officials about legislation are required to
register as lobbyists and submit quarterly
reports. But a state rule provides an exemption for so-called experts who often attend
meetings with elected officials and registered lobbyists.
The Fair Political Practices Commission
voted 3-1 to narrow, but not eliminate, that
rule. The commission decided Thursday to
call those individuals subject matter
experts.

Courtesy for court nominee,


from Dems, as battle lines set
By Kathleen Hennessey and Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON It was Day One for the


traditional courtesy calls to senators, but
theres not much about Merrick Garlands
Supreme Court nomination that has adhered
to tradition or courtesy.
A day after his selection set the battle
lines in a major fight over the court,
President Barack Obamas choice to replace
the late Justice Antonin Scalia met only
with Democratic leaders on Thursday
steering clear of the Republican leader who
has vowed the Senate will ignore Garlands
nomination and wait for the next president
to fill the seat.
For Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, the Capitol visit was a stunt
orchestrated by the White House, his
spokesman said. But for Democrats, it was
just the opening salvo in a public campaign
to make Garland the best-known victim of
Republican obstruction and a household
name in every election battleground state.
Garland met separately with Vermont Sen.
Patrick Leahy, the top Democrat on the
Senate Judiciary Committee, and Senate
Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. After
the meeting with Leahy, the mild mannered
jurist faced a throng of reporters and clicking cameras, but said nothing.
Said Leahy: I talked to him about where
the hurdles are, and I talked to him about
what I thought would happen if we actually
follow the oath that weve all taken to
uphold the Constitution.
Reid also said he braced the judge for the

bombardment ahead.
I just told him to be
himself, Reid said. I
think hes willing to take
whatever they can throw
at him.
More than a dozen
Senate Democrats stood
in front of the Supreme
Court,
using
the
Merrick
telegenic backdrop to
Garland
underscore their calls for
Republicans to give Garland a hearing.
Democrats cited polling showing public
support for Senate consideration of the
nomination, and eagerly linked the court
fight to Donald Trump the volatile frontrunner for the GOP nomination and a source
of embarrassment for the Republican establishment.
If Republicans stand in the way and
refuse to do their job, it will only be because
they want Donald Trump to pick the next
nominee, said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
The success of the Democrats plans hinge
in part on rallying their grass roots to the
cause a task complicated by Obamas
nomination of a moderate with little public
record on many issues valued by the progressive wing of the party.
In an interview with NPR, the president
said he found the Republicans argument
that the electorate should weigh in puzzling.
Well, in fact the American people did
decide back in 2012 when they elected me
president of the United States with sufficient
electoral votes, Obama said.

Bay Area home sales


increase slightly in February
Sales of new and existing homes in the
Bay Area last month increased last month
but at a rate well below average, officials
with the research firm CoreLogic said
Thursday.
The increase from January to February was
0.3 percent, below the average of 2.5 percent since 1988.
CoreLogic analyst Andrew LePage attributed the result to higher home prices, credit
challenges among buyers and a tight inventory of homes.
Sales are still increasing though because
mortgage rates are low and the regions
population is growing, LePage said.
Last month, 4,853 homes were sold in the
Bay Area, up from 4,839 in January. The
number of homes sold in February 2015 was
4,833, according to CoreLogic.
The median sales price was $609,500 for
a home last month, down 1.7 percent from
$620,000 in January. LePage attributed the
decrease to a higher share of sales in less
expensive markets, such as Contra Costa

Sanders says he has a path


to victory against Clinton
By Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Vermont Sen. Bernie


Sanders said Thursday he still maintains a
path toward victory in his Democratic
presidential bid against Hillary Clinton,
rejecting suggestions that she has all but
sewn up the partys nomination.
I dont believe they have an insurmountable lead, Sanders said in a phone interview with the Associated Press from
Arizona, where he was campaigning.
Secretary Clinton has done phenomenally
well in the Deep South and in Florida.
Thats where she has gotten the lions share
of votes. And I congratulate her for that. But
were out of the Deep South now.
Clintons campaign pointed to a recent
memo by campaign manager Robby Mook,
who suggested she has an insurmountable
lead in the delegate count. The campaign

noted its pledged delegate lead of more than


300 is nearly twice as
large as any thenIllinois Sen. Barack
Obama
held
over
Clinton in the 2008 primary.
And note Ohio,
Hillary Clinton Illinois, Massachusetts,
Nevada and Iowa are generally not considered Deep South, said
Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon, referring
to states won by the ex-secretary of state.
Sanders said in the interview he would not
seek a recount of results in Tuesdays primary in Missouri, saying it was unlikely
the results will impact at all the number of
delegates the candidate gets and I would prefer to save the taxpayers of Missouri some
money.

contests. She also beat Sanders in Florida,
Ohio, Illinois and North Carolina.
Clinton now has a lead of more than 300
pledged delegates over Sanders from the primaries and caucuses: 1, 147-830. When
including superdelegates, or party officials
who can back any candidate, Clinton has a

much bigger lead 1,614 to 856.


Sanders called his loss in Ohio a major
disappointment, adding, I thought we had
a chance to win or come close in Ohio and
we didnt. But he said that while we know
weve got a hill to climb, he was pleased
his campaign was able to accumulate more
delegates.

Conservatives plot Trump demise as he eyes Arizona win


By Steve Peoples and Nicolas Riccardi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SUN CITY, Ariz. Fearful of a Donald


Trump nomination to lead the GOP, conservative leaders huddled privately in
Washington on Thursday in search of a
plan to stop the billionaire businessman.
His Republican rivals braced for another
Trump victory next week, this time in delegate-rich Arizona.
The GOP has an eager alternative in
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, yet some party leaders
are exploring other avenues instead of

rallying behind the fiery


conservative, an ominous
sign
that
Republican leaders deep
dislike of Cruz complicates their overwhelming
concern
about
Trump.
The establishment is
like
a wounded animal,
Donald Trump
now cornered, said
Mark Meckler, an early leader in the tea
party movement. They are terrified, irrational and flailing wildly.

Even after being denied victory in five


contests Tuesday, Cruz insists he still has a
path to the 1,237 delegates necessary to
claim the Republican presidential nomination. But in a strategy memo obtained by
the Associated Press, his campaign essentially cedes Arizonas March 22 primary to
Trump and acknowledges Cruz must win 79
percent of the remaining delegates before
the GOPs July national convention.

This is the moment for all those who


believe in a strong America to come
together and craft a new path forward,
Cruz declared on Twitter while conservatives were meeting in downtown
Washington to brainstorm ways to stop
his partys front-runner.
Organizers of the meeting included conservative commentator Erick Erickson and
Christian conservative leader Bob Fischer.

Syrias Kurds declare de-facto federal region in north


By Zaina Karam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Syrias Kurds on Thursday


declared a de-facto federal region in Kurdishcontrolled areas of northern Syria, drawing
sharp condemnation from both the
Damascus government and its opponents
who decried the unilateral move as unconstitutional and setting a dangerous precedent.
The declaration further complicates the
situation on the ground in Syria even as
peace talks press ahead in Geneva. The main
Syrian Kurdish party has been excluded
from those talks perhaps an indication of
why the Kurds chose this particular moment
for their move.
In Syrias civil war, Kurdish fighters have
emerged as the most effective fighting force
against the Islamic State group and are
backed militarily by the United States.
More recently, Russia has backed them
politically.
But despite Russias insistence that they
should be part of the talks that started this
week in Geneva, they have not been invited
because Turkey considers the group to be a
terrorist organization.
Everybody rhetorically appreciates the
Kurds, they all acknowledge the Kurdish
fight against ISIS and that they are great

warriors, but this is not being reflected in
the diplomatic spectrum, said Mutlu
Civiroglu, a Washington-based Kurdish
affairs analyst, using an alternative
acronym for the Islamic State group.
Thursdays announcement triggered fears

that a Kurdish federal unit would lead to a


partition of the war-shattered country a
formula that may make sense in principle
after five years of devastating fighting but
one that would be messy and unpalatable to
most parties.

Some 200 Kurdish officials, who met in


the town of Rmeilan in Syrias predominantly Kurdish province of Hassakeh,
insisted they are not partitioning Syria nor
seeking secession but rather making sure
the country remains one nation.
A federal and democratic Syria is a guarantee of coexistence and brotherly relations, said an online posting from the conference.
Nawaf Khalil, an official with the
Democratic Union Party, or PYD, said participants at the Rmeilan meeting included
Turkmen, Arabs, Christian and Kurds.
They all approved a democratic federal
system for Rojava-Northern Syria, he said.
Rojava is a Kurdish word that refers to three
distinct enclaves, or cantons, under Kurdish
control in northern Syria: Jazira, Kobani
and Afrin.
The Kurds, a longtime oppressed minority under decades of Assad family rule, have
taken advantage of the chaos of the civil
war to advance their goals of autonomy.
After overstretched government troops
withdrew from Kurdish areas to focus on
fighting insurgents in other parts of the
country, they declared their own civil
administration in those three areas in 2013.
It was not immediately clear how the declaration of a federal region would change the
situation on the ground.

Kerry: IS group committing


genocide in Iraq and Syria
By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama administration on Thursday formally concluded the


Islamic State group is committing genocide
against Christians and other minorities in
Iraq and Syria, a declaration long sought by
Congress and human rights organizations
but likely to change little in the conflict
against the extremists.
The determination, for which Congress had
set a Thursday deadline, does not obligate the
United States to take additional action
against IS militants and does not prejudge
any potential prosecution against its members.
Officials said the U.S. has already intensified its fight against IS and had effectively
recognized the situation as a genocide more
than a year ago when it agreed to increase the
number of refugees, notably from Syria, that
America accepts.
A day after the State Department said the
administration would miss the deadline
because it needed more evidence, Secretary of
State John Kerry said Thursday that he had
completed his review after all and determined
that Christians, Yazidis and Shiite groups are
victims of genocide and crimes against
humanity by the Islamic State. The House
earlier this week unanimously passed a nonbinding resolution condemning IS atrocities
as genocide.
Kerry outlined a litany of atrocities that he
said the militants had committed against
people and religious sites, as well as threats

Daesh is genocidal
by self-proclamation,
by ideology, and by actions
in what it says, what it
believes and what it does.

to eradicate what it terms apostates and infidels. Using the Arabic acronym for the
Islamic State group, he said, Daesh is genocidal by self-proclamation, by ideology, and
by actions in what it says, what it
believes and what it does.
However, he added that he was neither
judge nor prosecutor nor jury with respect to
the allegations and said any potential criminal charges must result from an independent
international investigation. Kerry said the
U.S. would continue to support efforts to collect evidence and document atrocities.
While his determination does not carry
such legal weight, Kerry said he hoped that
groups he cited as being victimized would
take some comfort in the fact that the the
United States recognizes and confirms the
despicable nature of the crimes committed
against them.
Lawmakers and others who have advocated
for the finding had sharply criticized the
State Departments initial disclosure
Wednesday that the deadline would be missed.
U.S. officials said Kerry concluded his review
just hours after that announcement and the
criticism had not affected his decision.

Preventing prescription medication abuse


The Sacramento Bee

hen California is out of


sync with the rest of the
nation, its usually
because were ahead, not behind the
curve. But when it comes to curbing
abuse of opioid painkillers, were lagging, particularly in our prescription
monitoring program.
At issue is the online state database
that tracks the dispensing of controlled substances, seeking to prevent
addicts from hopping from doctor to
doctor to ll prescriptions. Its a useful tool. But as of last month, only
34 percent of California medical professionals licensed to prescribe or
dispense controlled substances,
including opioids, had registered to
use it.
The deadline to do so was originally
Jan. 1. But because of complaints
from doctors and hospital systems
about having to upgrade their Web
browsers, the deadline was bumped
back to July 1. There also have been
complaints about technical malfunctions with the registration process,

Other voices
making it hard for some to sign up.
Other states are moving ahead with
their prescription monitoring programs. New Jersey and Arizona, for
instance, are not only pushing prescribers and pharmacists to register,
but requiring them in some cases to
check the databases before giving
patients opioids.
A bill that would require such checks
in California has stalled over opposition from the California Medical
Association. Yet nationally, the
American Medical Association is
pushing doctors to start using monitoring programs as part of a solution
to end opioid abuse.
The AMA is right. Addiction has
reached epidemic proportions, with
overdoses claiming more lives than
car crashes. Indeed, debate arising
out of the presidential primaries in
hard-hit states such as New
Hampshire led the U.S. Senate to
pass a broad drug treatment and pre-

vention bill on Thursday.


Opioids are prescribed twice as
often as other controlled substances,
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention found. Yet, with drug monitoring programs in place, states such
as Ohio and New York have reported
huge drops in doctor-hopping
patients. Their regions have drawn
more attention, but opioids are hurting California cities, too.
The great irony is that California
created the countrys rst prescription
monitoring program, way back in
1939. CURES, short for the
Controlled Substance Utilization
Review and Evaluation System, not
long ago required prescribers and
pharmacists to fax requests to review
a patients history.
The upgraded, online version,
CURES 2.0, is obviously faster and
more effective. Physicians and pharmacists should register for it without
delay, and efforts should be made to
eliminate technical glitches with the
registration process. The lives of too
many addicts who slip between the
cracks are at stake.

Letters to the editor


We dont need
daylight saving time
Editor,
Tony Favero used his letter
Daylight saving time in the March
9 edition of the Daily Journal to
insult people who would do away with
daylight saving, saying that only
couch potatoes would get rid of the
twice yearly disruption of our schedules. Hours of light naturally increase
in the spring; losing an hour of
morning light to articially induce an
hour of evening light is unneeded. In
the fall the sudden loss of an hour of
evening light when days are getting
shorter anyway is another unwelcome
event.
Many of our work days start earlier
than 9 a.m., and school starts around
8:30 a.m., so just when its starting
to be light when we wake for school
and work, DST steals an hour of light
and were getting up in the dark
again.
As for the retail argument, sunset
being at 8:30 p.m. rather than 7:30
p.m. hardly matters.
He cites an old study that claims a
decrease in auto accidents in the two
weeks following DST in the spring.
No mention of the other end of the
cycle in the fall when nightfall is suddenly an hour sooner. Other studies
found an increase in auto accidents
following the fall change, and an 8
percent spike in ischemic strokes in
the two days following DST changes,
maybe due to the disruption of circadian rhythms.

Daylight savings
time make up your mind

Reopen the
Bridgepointe ice rink

Editor,
With everyone lately opining about
standard and daylight saving time, I
gured I might as well weigh in my
opinion.
One thing I think many of us can
agree on is the wish to eliminate all
this silly time-changing business
twice a year. Obviously tradition isnt
sacrosanct, as the length of each period has changed over the years. In the
early 1970s, standard time began in
late October and daylight time started
in late April six months of each.
Now, standard time has been so whittled down that we observe eight
months of daylight time and a mere
four months of standard the old
mnemonic spring forward is now a
misnomer, since daylight time begins
these days at the end of winter. My
personal preference would be to keep
our clocks on standard time year
round, just as some would prefer yearround daylight time. But regardless of
what we do or dont do with our timepieces, the days of winter are short
and the nights are long, and the

Editor,
Kids, ages 2 to 102, love skating.But for those still on the launching-pad, skating is a great way to
grow. Skating develops a versatile
core-based athleticism, but the injury
rate is much lower than for most
sports. Furthermore, the skater learns
to embrace the painstaking and counterintuitive. Skaters, unsurprisingly,
do exceptionally well in school.
The Bridgepointe mall owners
think that retail space will give them
prot, while the ice rink will leave
them penniless. However, with an
inspired publicity campaign, an ice
rink can soon be more reliably profitable than any store.
Belmont Iceland closes April 30,
leaving the busy Ice Oasis as the only
ice rink on the Peninsula. If you care
about kids, visit www.savesanmateorink.com and help reopen the
Bridgepointe rink.

The Happiest
Place on Earth
T

he signs we were nearing Disneyland built slowly


but surely. The middle-aged man on the plane with
a Grumpy baseball jersey. The gleeful children at
the airport. The magical bus ride to Anaheim. The holy
cow, everything here is Disney and that actually is a
grown man with Yoda Mickey Mouse ears feeling that
washed over me inside the enormous craftsman-style
lodge at the edge of the park. I mean enormous with a little television in the corner with tiny rocking chairs to
which my daughter was immediately drawn. She plopped
down mesmerized and this was only 10 minutes in. Hoo
boy.
Once inside the Disney California Adventure Park, it
took me about 30 minutes to keep my mouth from going
agape. I decided to just go with it. The princesses, the
rides, the crowds, the replication of idealized settings
seemingly familiar and unfamiliar all at the same time. I
found it interesting that the portion of the park that was a
version of Cannery Row was actually the commercialized
version of the Monterey area, and not the original use of
canneries. Seems as if it is a
matter of time before Cannery
Row adopts more of the
Disney version so it becomes
some sort of spiraling vortex
of commercialization and idealization that is no longer recognizable but that hits all of
the pleasure points of any visitor. But anyway, that was
California Adventure. There
were also plenty of kid rides
like Ariels adventure and fun
things to look at. Seems there
was always a parade either
happening or being set up.
At Disneyland,
Tomorrowland was transformed with a Star Wars overlay
and I quickly determined that though I enjoy the movies,
Im not really that much of a fan. At least compared to the
other adults there. I mean some people are really, really
into it. There was Jedi training for kids, Space Mountain
is temporarily Hyperspace Mountain (though I didnt go
on it) and the theme music is pumped out constantly from
all angles. I tried to recall what it was like in the 1970s
when I went as a child, and I seem to remember a people
mover that wasnt there and maybe more pastel. Speaking
of pastel, Its a Small World was delightful, if only
because it was like the 1950s was preserved and my
daughter got a kick out of it. Pirates of the Caribbean was
a hit and so was the Swiss Family Tree House which for
some reason is now Tarzans tree house. Was there a
Tarzan movie recently?
The park was super crowded, as expected, with the usual
array of happy folks, excited children and an eerie
amount of people on Lark scooters and not just old
people, young people too. I was also bemused by some
people focusing more on getting the perfect picture to
post on social media rather than actually enjoying their
time there. I dont even know how people were able to
post anything, the only cellphone Internet reception I
was able to nd was in a conference room bathroom,
which I might add was exceedingly nice.
And Walt Disney was a marketing genius and obviously
knew exactly what buttons to push on people. We were
happy to get out of there only spending about $20 on
nonsense, when there was a tremendous amount of nonsense to be had.
So why do people go to Disneyland? Maybe there is
something to the idealized Americana and the cartoonish
settings to invoke both fantasy and adventure. Maybe
its the non-stop noise, lights, music and transformation
of landscapes that eliminate any need to actually consider
the messiness of the outside world. I mean, dear lord,
they had Peter Pan actually ying on a rope in front of
the castle during the reworks show after the parade that
was times 10 of any other parade and reworks show Id
ever seen. And they do it every single night. Sometimes
twice.
But why did I go to Disneyland? We all know the reason, I was taken there as a child and remember it being
fun. Now, I have a daughter and I knew she would enjoy
it. She did, but she wasnt enamored, just amused. I even
think she enjoyed the airplane trip more. She actually
said whee on takeoff. So I think it was a successful trip.
The Happiest Place on Earth? Not sure about that, but
Walt Disney denitely created something for generations
to experience.

Dow up for year after metals, oil boost stocks


By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Another surge in


U.S. stocks Thursday, on the heels
of a four-week rally, turned the
Dow Jones industrial average positive for the year and wiped out its
losses from a terrible start to
2016.
The price of gold and silver and
oil jumped, boosting materials
and energy companies. The dollar
continued to weaken, boosting
industrial companies on hopes
they will be able to sell more
products overseas.
The Dow Jones rose 155. 73
points, or 0. 9 percent, to
17,481.49. Its is now up 0.3 percent for the year, the first time it
has been in the black for 2016.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
gained 13.37 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,040.59. The S&P 500
remains down 0.2 percent for the
year. A little more than a month
ago, the Dow and the S&P 500
were both down 10 percent for the
year.
The Nasdaq composite rose
11.01 points, or 0.2 percent, to
4,774.99, but remains down close
to 5 percent this year.
The price of oil also crossed a
threshold, closing above $40 a
barrel for the first time since early
December. Benchmark U.S. crude

rose $1.74, or 4.5 percent, to


close at $40.20 a barrel. Brent
crude, the benchmark for international oils, gained $1.21, or 3
percent, to $41. 54 a barrel in
London. Oil prices are now higher
than they were at the end of 2015,
but still far lower they have been
for most of the last decade.
The dollar, after years of
strength, has weakened in recent
days, in part because of the Federal
Reserves decision to leave rates
unchanged and to slow the pace of
increases. Commodities are priced
in dollars around the world, so a
weaker dollar makes them more
affordable in foreign markets and

increases demand.
When the dollar strengthens
gold tends to sell off and vice
versa, said James Butterfill, head
of research and investment strategy at ETF Securities. Also, he
said, investors arent sure what
monetary policy makers in Europe
will do, and that kind of uncertainty usually sends metals prices
higher.
The price of gold jumped
$35.20, or 2.9 percent, to $1,265
an ounce and silver climbed 81
cents, or 5.3 percent, to $16.03
an ounce. Copper rose 6 cents, or

Uber to give drivers option to be paid instantly


By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX Uber is launching a


pilot program intended to help the
ride-hailing services drivers draw
their pay faster, an effort that may
also fend off emerging payday
lenders who are targeting drivers.
Uber will allow drivers to
deposit their earnings from each
ride into an account with GoBank,
a subsidiary of the pre-paid debit
card company Green Dot. Uber
wont charge any fees for the service, and GoBank will not charge a
monthly fee so long as drivers
access their accounts at least once
every six months. Should it go

untouched for longer, drivers


would face a monthly fee of $8.95.
San Francisco-based Uber pays
its drivers once a week, sometimes
leading to financial stress for
some members of its largely lowto-middle income workforce.
The pilot program, which Uber
is launching in San Francisco and
a few other cities, is a direct challenge to companies that offer drivers faster payment in exchange for
high fees. Drivers have been
increasingly vocal about the need
for alternatives, Uber executives
said.
Our drivers should not have to
pay for this technology, said
Wayne Ting, Ubers general man-

ager for the San Francisco Bay


Area.
The lack of an option at Uber,
by far the largest of the ride-hailing app companies, to pay drivers
instantly has increasingly resulted in services going into the business of providing cash advances
or deposit services to Uber drivers
and other members of the so-called
freelance economy.
One recently launched service,
known as Clearbanc, charges $2 a
day any time an Uber or Lyft driver wants to have money deposited
into a Clearbanc account. If a driver works five days a week and
wants to be paid at the end of each
shift, Clearbancs current fee

structure would cost a driver $10 a


week or roughly $40 a month.
Thats far more than any standard

Autonomous cars arent perfect, but how safe must they be?
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT As autonomous car


technology rapidly progresses,
makers of the cars face the difficult
question of how safe they must be
before theyre ready to move people on highways and city streets.
Right now, companies such as
Google, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz
are testing the cars in a small number of cities to demonstrate they
can be safer than human drivers.
They also must figure out what
level of risk is acceptable to both
government regulators and a
potentially skeptical public.

Government statistics show that


human mistakes are responsible
for 94 percent of the 33,000 traffic
fatalities each year. Autonomous
cars wont get drowsy, distracted or
drunk, so in theory they could
eliminate those mistakes and save
an estimated 31,000 lives a year.
But as a Valentines Day fenderbender involving a Google
autonomous Lexus and a public bus
shows, cars that drive themselves
can make mistakes.
We cannot expect any technology, any solution to be perfect all
the time, says Raj Rajkumar, a
computer engineering professor at

Carnegie Mellon University who


has led autonomous vehicle
research for 15 years. We live in a
very uncertain world where lots of
things happen.
Given that, regulators and
would-be passengers may have to
accept that the cars will cause a
limited number of crashes, including deadly ones, if overall they
save thousands of lives.
We should be concerned about
automated vehicles, says Bryant
Walker Smith, a University of
South Carolina law professor who
studies the technology. But we
should be terrified about todays

drivers.
Google is testing a fleet of 56
autonomous cars on the streets of
Mountain View; Austin, Texas; and
Kirkland, Washington. The cars
have driven themselves almost 1.5
million miles, with a person as
backup in the driver seat. The
company also uses a simulator to
test the cars in a variety of scenarios. Other companies such as
Nissan, software firm Cruise
Automation and parts suppliers
Bosch and Delphi also are testing
on public roads. Test cities also
include San Francisco, Las Vegas
and Pittsburgh.

SeaWorld to stop breeding orcas, making them perform tricks


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORLANDO, Fla. After years


of pressure, SeaWorld made a surprise announcement on Thursday:
It no longer breeds killer whales
in captivity and will soon stop
making them leap from their
pools or splash audiences on command.
Surrendering finally to a profound shift in how people feel

about using animals for entertainment, the SeaWorld theme parks


have joined a growing list of
industries dropping live animal
tricks. Ringling Bros. and Barnum
& Bailey Circus is retiring all of
its touring elephants in May.
Once-popular animal shows in Las
Vegas have virtually disappeared.
Societys attitude toward these
very, very large, majestic animals
under human care has shifted for a

variety of reasons, whether its a


film, legislation, peoples comments on the Internet, said
SeaWorld Entertainment CEO Joel
Manby. It wasnt worth fighting
that. We needed to move where
society was moving.
SeaWorlds 29 killer whales will
remain in captivity, but in new,
inspiring natural orca encounters, according to the company.
SeaWorlds orcas range in age

from 1 to 51 years old, so some


could remain on display for
decades.
Attendance at SeaWorlds parks
declined after the 2013 release of
Blackfish, a highly critical documentary. Some top musical acts
dropped out of SeaWorld-sponsored concerts at the urging of animal rights activists, who kept up a
visible presence demonstrating
outside the parks gates.

gained $17.07, or 11.8 percent, to


$161. 34. That was its biggest
one-day gain since 1993.
Health care stocks continued to
slump as a Senate committee
sharply questioned executives
from Turing Pharmaceuticals,
which became notorious last year
when it raised the price for a
decades-old anti-infection drug by
5,000 percent. Investors are fearful that it will get harder for drug
companies to raise their prices and
boost their profits and revenues.
Endo International lost $3.88, or
11.4 percent, to $30.03 and has
dropped 29 percent this week. Eli
Lilly gave up $3.42, or 4.7 percent, to $69. 06. The Nasdaq
biotech index, which includes
makers of some of the mostly
costly medications, has dropped
almost 6 percent this week.
SeaWorld Entertainment said it
will immediately stop breeding
orcas after years of controversy
over keeping the whales in captivity. The move will phase the animals out of its theme parks. The
stock made its biggest gain since
its IPO in 2013, rising $1.60, or
9.3 percent, to $18.72.
The Labor Department reported
that applications for unemployment benefits rose slightly last
week, but they remain at levels
consistent with a healthy job market.

Automakers: Automatic
braking in cars by 2022
WASHINGTON Automatic
braking will be standard in most

Scots take over second place

Pretty much everyone in the Peninsula


Athletic League has already conceded the
Bay Division tennis title to eight-time
defending league champion MenloAtherton, meaning the other six teams in
the league are playing for second place.
There is a lot to be said for a second-place
finish, however. The division runner-up is
the top seed in the PAL tournament, which is
used to determine the leagues second automatic Central Coast Section bid.
Thursday was a showdown for that coveted
second-place spot in the standings, when
one-loss Aragon traveled to Belmont to face
one-loss Carlmont.
By the end of the match, it was obvious
not much separates the two teams. But in the
end, Carlmont was just a tad bit better in
posting a 4-3 victory.
In my four years here, weve beaten
[Aragon] maybe once, said Carlmonts
Bobby Goldie, half of the Scots No. 1 doubles team who teamed with Josh Pogue to
earn the Scots fourth team point with a 6-4,
6-4 victory.
This is our closest win of the season,
Goldie continued. Were playing for second
place in PAL. This is our big match.
The team match was nip-and-tuck the
whole way. The teams split the first four
matches, Carlmont got the upper hand with
a win at No. 3 doubles.
Aragon needed to win the final two matches on the court, but could only manage a
split.
First-year Carlmont coach Dan Nguyen
said his team looks forward to playing M-A
because it allows the Scots to face some of
the best players in CCS, but the focus is on
Aragon.
We consider this, as a team, the biggest
match of the year, Nguyen said. This is the
date we talked about.
It became clear that the winner of the No.
1 doubles match would take the team win.
Goldie and Pogue won the first set 6-4, but
quickly fell behind 3-0 in the second set to
Aragons Sameer Jain and Tony Wang.
But a Goldie smash tied the set at 3 to turn

Cuonzo Martin
The
university
announced Wednesday
that it was reviewing whether Martin properly handled sexual harassment allegations
made by a female reporter against Hufnagel.
Athletic director Mike Williams said the
review is to dispel any doubts about
Martins role. Martin said he didnt want to
deal with that right now on the cusp of the
Golden Bears opening game.
Thats a university issue and the most
important thing for me is our basketball
team playing the NCAA Tournament,
Martin said. Well deal with that at the
appropriate time.
Supervisors and managers are required to
promptly forward any sexual misconduct
complaints, and those who fail to do so may
face discipline, campus policy says. That
includes head coaches, Cal spokesman Dan
Mogulof said Wednesday.
A report shows the university launched an
inquiry into Hufnagel in early July after the
female journalist sent Martin a long email
describing in graphic detail the unwelcome
advances she received from his assistant.
The journalist wrote the email six weeks
after she first told Martin by phone about her
concern Hufnagel was sexually harassing
her. Her name and news organization were
redacted from the report released Tuesday.
Martin said he wasnt concerned about any
fallout of the review or whether his status as
Cals coach may come into question.

Upset alert! No. 12 Yale knocks off No. 5 Baylor


By Kyle Hightower
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PROVIDENCE, R.I. Makai Mason had


a career-high 31 points, including six of
Yales final nine points, and the No. 12 seed
Bulldogs held on to upset fifth seed Baylor
79-75 in the first round of the NCAA
Tournament on Thursday.
Yale (23-6) earns its first NCAA
Tournament victory. It comes in its first
appearance since 1962.
Justin Sears added 18 points. Brandon
Sherrod finished with 10.
The Bulldogs led by as many as 13 points
in the second half before having its lead cut

to 1 point. But a late turnover by the Bears


helped Yale secure the victory.
Taurean Prince led Baylor (22-12) with 28
points. Johnathan Motley finished with 15
points and seven rebounds.
Expelled Yale player Jack Montague, dismissed last month because of a sexual
assault allegation, was in the stands for the
game. He was present as a fan and sat across
from the Yale bench.
Yale will play No. 4 seed Duke on
Saturday.
Yale played a chunk of the second half
without Sears and Brandon Sherrod after
both picked up their fourth fouls. Both
returned with just over four minutes to play

in the game.
A layup by Sears and two free throws by
Mason helped the lead back to 72-65,
before Prince gave the Bears some life with
a 3-pointer.
That was followed a steal and layup by
Jake Lindsey that cut the lead to a basket
with 1:12 remaining.
Mason was fouled on the ensuing
inbounds play and connected on both of his
free throws to get the lead back up to 74-70
with less than a minute left.
Baylors Prince was called for an offensive foul on the Bears next possession, but
Sears misfired on both of his free throws.
Baylor took the rebound and raced down

the floor and got a layup from Lester


Medford.
Mason was fouled and hit two more free
throws, but Prince got free and nailed another 3-pointer that cut the lead to a point with
nine seconds showing on the clock.
Baylor applied full court pressure on the
inbounds play, but Yale got a long pass into
Nick Victor, who was fouled with 6.8 seconds left.
Victor connected on the first, but air
balled the second attempt. Baylor got the
ball into Medford. He slipped on his way to
the basket, turning it over.

Francisco to the Super Bowl following the


2012 season was still the man to lead the
team.
After that early success of the Super Bowl
run and a trip to the NFC title game the next
season, Kaepernick has struggled. He took
52 sacks and saw his passer rating drop
from 91.6 in 2013 to 86.4 the following
season as the 49ers missed the playoffs in
the final year under coach Jim Harbaugh.
Things only got worse last year under
coach Jim Tomsula. Kaepernick completed
just 59 percent of his passes with six TDs,
five interceptions and a 78.5 rating before
losing his job to Blaine Gabbert midway
through the season.
Now there is some hope a new offensive
system under Kelly that values mobile quarterbacks could help revive Kaepernicks
career if he stays in San Francisco.
First he has to get healthy from medical
procedures on his right thumb, his left
knee, and on his non-throwing left shoulder
to repair a torn labrum. His $11.9 million
2016 contract becomes fully guaranteed
April 1 if hes on the roster.
He says hes doing well, Kelly said. He
said he feels like hes on track, hes getting
healthy and hes excited. Thats the biggest
thing for him, just getting healthy.
Despite going 5-11 last season and having plenty of salary cap room available, the
49ers have been relatively quiet this offseason, aside from the speculation about
Kaepernicks future. They have signed no
prominent free agents, with their biggest
move so far being to re-sign kicker Phil
Dawson to a one-year deal. But Kelly said
that is all part of the plan he and Baalke
have.
Some of the money that was thrown
around at the beginning, you have to be
able to manage that, he said. If youre
going to pay some guy who never has been
to a Pro Bowl more than anyone on your
roster, thats a little bit difficult. There are a
lot of things that get involved in this.

Nationals Arroyo has torn
rotator cuff; career in doubt
VIERA, Fla. Washington Nationals righthander Bronson Arroyo says he has a significantly torn right rotator cuff, but hes not ready
to call off his comeback attempt at 39 just yet.
Arroyo has not pitched since June 14, 2014
because of Tommy John surgery. He was
scratched from his start Wednesday because of a
sore shoulder. The 15-year
veteran says he is not
going to have surgery and
will either rehabilitate the
injury or retire.

Arroyo, a 2006 All-Star with Cincinnati,
signed a minor league deal with the Nationals in
January. He was competing for a spot at the
back of the rotation but those spots clearly
belong to Joe Ross and Tanner Roark.
Arroyo says he has not been fully heathy

said it was a hard infield, which may have
been a contributing factor.
Marte was checked by team trainers and
remained in the game.
Seattle lef-hand pitcher James Paxton said
he went to his breaking stuff too often and
that threw him off his game. He retired the
first two hitters he faced in each of the first
two innings but still allowed seven runs in
two-plus innings.
Its a mental thing really, Paxton said.
I have to do a better job recognizing that I
lost the breaking stuff. I needed to step off
the mound and disconnect myself, ask what
I was doing wrong and how to fix it.
Paxton walked two and gave up two hits to
open the third.
I may have been going a little too fast,
he said. I was too quick to the plate. Im
still refining my breaking ball. The consistency is not there yet. I just didnt have a
strength. Instead, his last outing on March 10
when he threw three perfect innings against
the Houston could be the final pitches of his
career.
If it stayed where it was, I could pitch with
that, said Arroyo, who has a career record of
145-131 with a 4.19 ERA. But it got the point
in my last outing where its just significantly,
so much pain, that theres just no way to possibly pitch, and theres also no way to turn around
and pitch again (in five days).
For now, hes hoping doctors can find some
way to let him keep pitching.
This has been my lifes work, he said. You
kind of have your eye on the prize since youre
a 5 or 6-year-old kid. This is what you do. You
dont really know anything else. So its definitely not something thats going to be easy to
walk away from if I have to.

He was more disappointed in walking three

The Scots also picked up a win at No. 3
doubles, where Kevin Xiung and Jon Li won
their match 6-4, 6-1.

off-target throws, including one pass that sailed


into the bleachers.
But Hogan mostly
showed off his accuracy
that helped him win three
Pac-12 titles and two
Rose Bowl championships in a stellar colKevin Hogan lege career in which he
threw for 9, 385 yards
and 75 touchdowns.
I thought he threw the ball really well,
NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock
said. He obviously has been working hard
at it. It was scripted real well to show off
what he could do, especially some of the
out-breaking routes and some of the seams.
I thought he did a real nice job with the timing and the location.
Hogan has tried to smooth out his foot-

work and shorten his delivery leading up to


the draft.
With 51 college games and more than
1,000 career passes, Hogan is a known
commodity making the scouting process
somewhat easier for NFL teams compared to
players with only a year or two of college
starting experience.
Teams have gotten to see Hogan in all
sorts of situations and watched him evolve
as a player since becoming a starter midway
through the 2012 season.
You want to see if theres been a logical
progression in terms of his ability to get
better year to year and there has been in
Kevins case, said 49ers coach Chip Kelly,
who saw Hogan beat his No. 1 ranked
Oregon team in 2012.
Representatives from all 32 teams were
present at the Pro Day to see Hogan and several of his other teammates who expect to

be drafted next month. The top prospect for


the Cardinal is guard Joshua Garnett, considered one of the best available players at
his position who could be drafted either late
in the first round or the second round.
Having shown off his brute power in
Stanfords running game in college, Garnett
has tried to show scouts at the combine and
his pro day that he has the athleticism to
excel in the pass game.
They wanted to see me move my feet and
move quick and not just come off the ball
and destroy guys, Garnett said. What I
tried to do at the combine and here is to
show I have good feet and I can turn my hips
around the corner just as good as anyone.
Among the other Cardinal looking to be
drafted are Hooper, Cajuste, tackle Kyle
Murphy, linebacker Blake Martinez, and
defensive linemen Aziz Shittu and Brennan
Scarlett.

I knew it would be close. They played a


little better than us at doubles, said Aragon
coach Dave Owdom. The problem we have
is at 3 doubles. I cant find the right combination. I have good players, but no one
has stepped up.
Only Langston Swiecki and Kelvin Yang
prevented a Carlmont sweep of the doubles
matches as they posted a 6-2, 6-4 win at No.
2 doubles.
In singles action, Carlmont sophomore
Thomas Reznik cruised past Aragons fouryear varsity standout Landers Ngirchemat,
winning in straight sets. Reznik was down
2-0 in the first set, but came charging back
for the win. After losing the first game of

the second set, Reznik won six straight to


close out his opponent.
It took him a little while to get started,
Nguyen said of Reznik. I always enjoy
watching him play. He plays at a high
level.
Aragon took the first point of the match
when No. 2 singles player Daniel Li won 61, 6-0. Carlmont tied the match with a win
at No. 4 singles. Nate Ye trailed 3-2 in the
first set before getting a break of serve and
going on to win the first set 6-3. In the second set, Ye overwhelmed his opponent,
winning 6-0.
The Dons went up 2-1 with the win from
Swiecki and Yang at No. 2 doubles, but the

Scots kept pace with Rezniks victory at


No. 1 singles.
When Xiung and Li won at No. 3 doubles
for the Scots, the team needed only one
more victory from either No. 1 doubles or
No. 3 singles. They got the split they needed with Goldie and Pogues win.
Aragons Jonathan Liu gave the Dons
their third point, winning the only three-set
match of the day at No. 3 singles, 6-1, 2-6,
6-2.
We knew this one would be tough,
Nguyen said. These type of matches can go
either way.

In the Hufnagel case, the woman told
investigators that Martin was livid when she
initially voiced her concerns by phone in

Hufnagel right away. Martin also told her to
get back in touch with him in a few days, but
they never connected, she said.
Instead, the journalist said she heard from
Hufnagel via a Twitter message that read, I

need to call you. What is your phone number? When she told Martin about the contact, she said Martin told her it was her
choice whether or not to respond.
The redacted report does not make clear
how Martin responded to the womans follow-up email in July. But two days after she
sent it, an associate athletic director contacted the university office that investigates sexual harassment.
Martins name was not in the report, but
the context made it clear that he was interviewed as a witness.
He told campus investigators he did not get

mistreated and denied that she provided any
details or described anything as constituting
sexual harassment.
The woman also did not object when
Martin said he would tell Hufnagel to call her,

The campus Office for the Prevention of
Harassment and Discrimination will be looking at the actions of other employees besides
Martin during the review into the handling of
the Hufnagel allegations, the university
spokesman said.

Days big finish gives


him lead at Bay Hill
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORLANDO, Fla. Jason Day


felt he was playing better. He finally had a score to show for it
Thursday at Bay Hill.
Day one-putted his last seven
holes, including a 10-foot eagle
putt on the par-5 16th to take the
lead and two tough par saves at the
end for a 6-under
66 and a oneshot lead in the
Arnold Palmer
Invitational.
Among those
one shot behind
was Adam Scott,
which was no
surprise. Scott
is the hottest
Jason Day
player in golf,
coming off two straight victories at
the Honda Classic and the Cadillac
Championship at Doral, and he
played bogey-free in benign weather and on a course where no blade of
grass seems to be out of place.
Day hasnt played enough to
have serious problems with his
game, though he missed the cut at
Torrey Pines and finished a combined 35 shots out of the lead in the
other three tournaments he entered
this year. In the five tournaments
since his last victory in September,
he hasnt finished within seven
shots of the lead.
There was no sense of urgency at
all for me, really, Day said. I just
kept on saying, Just make sure you
stay patient and things will happen, it will happen. I just got to
make sure I get the reps under my
belt and hope it will work. This is
one good round, one good round in
the right direction. ... So that
helps.
Rory McIlroy made a pair of double bogeys and opened with a 75,
leaving him in danger of missing
his second straight cut against a full
field.
He hit his opening tee shot outof-bounds and made his other double bogey with a shot into the water
on No. 8. McIlroy hit two other

shots into the water and escaped


with par, and he made par putts of
10 feet, 15 feet and 25 feet.
It probably could have been a
few worse, McIlroy said. I end up
shooting this. Ill get some good
work done on the range tonight and
come out tomorrow and play a good
round of golf to get myself into the
red numbers, at least be here for the
weekend (and) I can make a charge.
Henrik Stenson, Marc Leishman,
Brendan Steele and Troy Merritt
also were at 67. The group at 68
included the resurgent K.J. Choi
and Justin Rose, who made two
eagles.
Day doesnt have a great history
in his limited time at Bay Hill.
Going into Thursday, he had broken
70 only three times in 14 rounds,
nothing lower than 68. He only had
one bad swing, a tee shot that
soared right and out of bounds on
the ninth hole for a double bogey.
But he played the last seven holes
in 5 under, including the 6-iron he
hit to within 10 feet on 16.
Equally satisfying were the par
saves from the bunker on the par-3
17th, where he blasted out to 5 feet,
and a par on the final hole when he
chipped to 10 feet.
Day has Bay Hill and the Dell
Match Play next week before
preparing for the Masters.
Im just trying to win a tournament right now, Day said. Im
really thinking about this week and
not trying to think about too far
ahead with whats coming up with
the Match Play and obviously
Augusta. Its good to shoot the
score that I did today because it does
a lot for my confidence, and Im just
hoping that I can keep it going for
the next three days after this.
Scott wasnt sure if he hit the ball
badly, or it just seemed like that
because the way he has been playing.
I hit so many good shots the last
few weeks, he said. Didnt hit terribly bad shots today. My short
game was there. Thats the kind of
days youre almost most satisfied
with are days like today when you
shoot your lowest.

Pak was not the first South Korean

her success served as a catalyst for
more young players to believe they
could compete on the strongest circuit in womens golf. Today, five of
the top eight players in the world and
half of the top 32 are South Korean.
Hampered by left shoulder problems, Pak won her last LPGA Tour

Hillbarns Mockingbird
still timely after 56 years
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Hillbarn Theatre scheduled To Kill a


Mockingbird long before the recent death
of novelist Harper Lee.
Thus it may be regarded as a bit of
serendipity that its production of
Christopher Sergels adaptation of Lees
1960 American classic opened so shortly
afterward.
Set in Maycomb, Alabama, in 1935,
Mockingbird is a dramatic indictment of
the racism rampant in the South at that time
and that still festers today.
The story is narrated by the adult Jean
Louise Finch (Sarah Birdsall), who recalls

the time when she was a youngster known as


Scout (Emily Mannion). Scout, her older
brother Jem (Jacob Rosen), and their friend
Dill (Tyler Groshong) were witnesses to an
ugly period in their town.
Scout and Jems 50-year-old single father,
Atticus Finch (Brian Levi), was a respected
lawyer who took on the unenviable assignment of defending a black man, Tom
Robinson (Anthone Jackson). Tom was
accused of raping and beating a 19-year-old
white woman, Mayella Ewell (CC Sheldon).
Although the trial is its centerpiece, the

Dont be intimidated by sausage


making. This recipe is simple
By Sara Moulton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If youve always nursed a yen to make


your own sausage, but you dont own a meat
grinder and youre dubious about the joys of
stuffing ground meat into casings, this
recipe for rustic sausage patties is for you.
So what about this ground meat mixture
qualifies it as sausage? The answer is threefold: the seasonings, the way the ground
meat is mixed, and the high fat content of
the mixture. Most hamburger meat contains 15 to 20 percent fat. Ground chuck
clocks in at about 30 percent. But when it
comes to sausage, most of which is made
from pork, the fat averages 30 to 50 percent.
And big surprise! thats why we
love it so much. The flavor and juiciness
are enhanced greatly by all that fat.
Still, theres no reason to get crazy,
which is why Ive walked a middle line
here, aiming for a fat content around 35
percent. Pork shoulder (also known as pork
butt or Boston butt) is my cut of choice. Its
inexpensive, tasty and rich with fat. But
the ratio of meat to fat varies even within a
given piece of pork shoulder. Some parts
are leaner, some fattier. In order to arrive at
just the right ratio, you need to slice off the
fat and weigh it, then weigh the meat, too.
Next, its time to toss in a couple slices
of bacon, which is my way of adding smokiness to the sausages without actually having to smoke them.
Given that most folks dont own a meat
grinder, were going to use a food processor
to grind the meat. First, however, the
meat and fat must be frozen. This helps
them break up more evenly during processing, and helps prevent them from overheating in the machine. You can take advantage
of that freezing time to cook and chill the
onion mixture.
When all of the ingredients are combined
the ground meat, fat, onion and seasonings its important to mix them well.
Kneading makes the finished sausages
denser and springier. These qualities are
what make a sausage a sausage rather than a
burger, which should be loose and crumbly.
I call for the cooking and tasting of a
test pilot, or tiny sample patty, before
launching into full production. Its a safe
way to decide if the sausage is seasoned to
your taste, given that you shouldnt just
pinch off and gobble down a piece of raw
meat. First, its just not safe. Second, raw
meat requires different seasoning than
cooked meat.
The patties can be formed a day ahead and
chilled, which will improve their flavor
even further. One last caveat: Be careful not
to overcook the patties. All theyll need is
three minutes per side, plus a few more with
the lentils. If you cook them to well done,
theyll be dry.
I love the combination of pork and
beans, which is why I paired these rustic
sausage patties with warm lentils. The

If you want to make this dish more substantial, you might stir some baby spinach or kale into
the lentils and let them wilt before adding the sausages.
lentils and their cooking liquid are poured
into the same skillet in which the sausages
were grilled. This step deglazes the
browned sausage juices on the bottom of
the skillet and marries the pork to the
lentils. If you want to make this dish more
substantial, you might stir some baby
spinach or kale into the lentils and let them
wilt before adding the sausages. Or throw in
some steamed baby carrots. Or both. Its all
good.

RUSTIC SAUSAGE
PATTIES WITH LENTILS
Start to finish: 1 hour 30 minutes (45
minutes active)
Servings: 4
For the sausage patties:
12 ounces trimmed pork shoulder meat,
cut into 1/2-inch chunks
4 ounces fresh pork fat (from the trimmed
shoulder meat), cut into 1-inch pieces
2 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2/3 cup finely minced yellow onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the lentil salad:
1 cup dry lentils
2 to 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
or broth
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Chopped fresh parsley, to serve


To make the sausages, in a shallow container such as a baking dish or small sheet
pan, spread out the pork, fat and bacon.
Freeze, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and
cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add
the garlic, sage and thyme, then cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a
shallow bowl and refrigerate until cooled to
room temperature. Reserve the skillet.
Once the pork has chilled in the freezer
for 30 minutes, transfer the fat and bacon to
a food processor. Pulse until it is very fine-

ly chopped, then transfer to a bowl. Add the


pork chunks to the processor and pulse
until finely chopped. Return the fat-bacon
mixture to the processor and pulse several
times to mix. Transfer the mixture back to
the bowl along with the cooled onion mixture, the salt and pepper.
Knead the mixture for several minutes, or
until it is mixed well and holds together
when you squeeze it with your fingers.
In a small skillet, test a small piece of
the sausage mixture, cooking it until nicely browned on both sides. Adjust seasoning
as needed. Shape the mixture into twelve 2inch patties, then chill, covered, until
ready to cook.
While the patties chill, prepare the lentil
salad. In a 1-quart saucepan over mediumhigh, combine the lentils and 2 cups of the
chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil,
then reduce to a simmer and cook the
lentils, partially covered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the lentils are just tender.
When the lentils are nearly done cooking, heat the reserved large skillet over
medium. Working in batches, add the
sausage patties to the skillet and cook until
they are nicely browned, about 3 minutes
per side. Transfer the patties to a plate.
Pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons
of the fat from the skillet, then add to the
skillet the cooked lentils along with their
cooking liquid, the sherry vinegar and
Dijon mustard. Simmer gently, scraping up
the browned bits from the bottom of the
skillet, for 2 minutes, adding more chicken
broth if desired to achieve a soupy consistency. Add the patties to the skillet and
simmer gently for 2 minutes.
To serve, transfer a mound of the lentil
mixture to each of 4 serving bowls, then
top with 3 patties and garnish with
chopped fresh parsley.

office in Austin, Texas, one day when he
knew what Midnight Special would be
about. That was when he heard the news of
Sandy Hook.
This movie, its a silly sci-fi chase
movie, but at its heart is me trying to deal
with that: Pulling over to the side of the
road and hearing about children being shot
and picturing my son being afraid in his
final moments and just being devastated,
says Nichols. Does the movie reach
those heights? Probably not. Is it good
that it doesnt? Maybe. But this is what I
was feeling.
Midnight Special, which Warner Bros.
will release Friday, is the first studio film
for Nichols whose films personal tales
rooted in classically American moviemaking have made the Arkansas native one
of the most exciting voices in independent film. Midnight Special finds him
developing his command of special effects
in a bigger budget production than hes
done in the past, yet remaining a steadfastly sincere storyteller.
The thing that Jeff possesses in spades
is if you carved his heart out, Im sure it
would be heavier than most people, says

SPECIAL

WEEKEND JOURNAL
Joel Edgerton, a co-star in the film. He
feels things very deeply. His films are
infused with an emotion that generally
trends toward family and love and protection and care. Even if theres violence, its
because its spurred on by the lack of those
things.
In Midnight Special, Michael
Shannon (who has appeared in every
movie by Nichols, beginning with his
debut, Shotgun Stories) stars as the
father to 8-year-old Alton (Jaeden
Lieberher), a boy who possesses a mysterious special power. Alton, who wears
goggles to cover eyes that can illuminate
in searing beams of light, has attracted the
pursuit of the government (Adam Driver
plays a sensitive NSA agent) and the religious sect from which his father is trying
to rescue him.
The film, patient but explosive, metes
out exposition slowly and leaves some
questions unanswered. It opens with a
Chevelle throttling through the night,
headlights off, with the father and his
accomplice (Edgerton) driving with nightvision goggles. Their mission is vague
and uncertain, but Shannons father is
compelled by a faith in his son and a determination to shepherd Alton where he
needs to go.
Thats parenthood, Nichols, who has a
5-year-old son with his wife, said in an
interview over lunch in Greenwich

Village. Just because you believe in


something doesnt mean you understand
it. In fact, usually you dont.
Midnight Special is a kind of companion to Nichols Take Shelter (2011),
which grew out of his anxiety in becoming
a parent. Shannon played a paranoid father
who sees literal storm clouds on the horizon.
Fear has been the basis of all of my
movies,
almost,
says
Nichols.
Shotgun Stories was about the fear of
losing my brother. Take Shelter was the
fear of the entire world falling apart and
the fear of becoming a parent. Midnight
Special was the fear of losing my child.
But fear in and of itself is not a story. Its
a catalyst that creates something.
Mud, a Mark Twain-esque coming-ofage tale set along the Mississippi and costarring Matthew McConaughey, was very
well received and selected for the Cannes
Film Festival. But it struggled to find a
distributor and wasnt much promoted.
Nichols grants that the experience shook
my confidence.
But Mud inspired the interest of
Warner Bros., which gave Nichols final
cut on Midnight Special. Speaking positively about his studio experience,
Nichols feels emboldened to try a $100
million film, should the right opportunity
present itself.
The reason Im more interested in it

now is: I know what to ask for, says


Nichols, whose crew is populated by regular collaborators like cinematographer
Adam Stone, editor Julie Monroe and production designer Chad Keith. I know what
I need to make a film my way.

The boys name is Alton and he is, to put


it too simply, exceptional. He has powers
that no one understands, but that inspire
obsession, devotion and fear from those
around him. Roy is his father.

tons, the bureaucrats, the scientists, the


law, and the devoted parents alike all know
that they must go.
To explain too much about Altons powers
would be to destroy the shock of the revelations and the ingenuity with which theyre
executed. But Midnight Special peels the
layers of the story away elegantly and confidently.
But the climax doesnt match the wonder
and tension of the journey and the grace of
the aftermath. For some, that might make
everything before it crumble.
But there is so much more here than that
moment. Theres the desperate pursuit of
spiritual fulfillment. Theres the blind trust
of the awe inspiring but incomprehensible.
Theres the simplicity of a parents unquestioning trust of their child and the everpresent fear and knowledge that there will
come a day when that child does not need
you anymore.

Whats missing is someone who says


wait, what? when everyone else says
yes. But all the actors are all so strong
that they carry that burden well, especially
the criminally underrated Kirsten Dunst,
who comes in midway in a part best left to
discovery, and Shannon in his third outing
with Nichols.

Nichols next film, currently being edited, is Loving, about the interracial couple Richard (Edgerton) and Mildred Loving
(Ruth Negga) whose marriage made them
criminals in Virginia in the 1950s. Focus
Features will release it in November, placing it the heart of awards season.
Jeffs very comfortable around me, but
sometimes being comfortable is not the
best thing for art, says Shannon, who has
a small part in Loving. Its not such a
bad thing for him to work with somebody
like Ruth. Its a different kind of story for
him and its good for him to branch out.
For the ever-progressing filmmaker,
Loving may be yet another evolution.
At the films mention, Nichols cups his
hands over this reporters voice recorder
and whispers: Its the best movie Ive
ever made.
Its very quiet. Its very silent. Its very
painful. Its very beautiful, he says. In a
time where the political debates around
marriage equality and around race are so
heated, this film just cuts through it. Its
just about these two people.

While Shannon excels in pretty much all


of what he does, Nichols seems able to look
past his height, stature, and penetrating
eyes and find the aching sensitivity beneath
a sturdy man who might crumble at any
moment. Alton might be the exceptional
one in this world, but in the movie, that
title belongs to Shannon.
Midnight Special, a Warner Bros.
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for some
violence and action. Running time: 111
minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

Indiana Jones to return


with Ford and Spielberg
NEW YORK Indiana Jones is
swinging back into theaters with
Harrison Ford reprising the iconic role
and Steven Spielberg directing.
The Walt Disney Co. announced
Tuesday that the fifth film in the action
adventure series will open July 19,
2019. The last Indiana Jones movie
was 2008s poorly received Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull, which co-starred Shia LaBeouf

CAMERA
Continued from page 1
Its a story thats becoming more
and more familiar with the price of real
estate skyrocketing and new property
owners realizing they can raise rents
in this high-demand market.
Recently, the city of San Mateo
began the 25th Avenue Initiative,
which may include street improvements and seeks to highlight the variety of local businesses on whats
been called the citys second downtown.
After purchasing the building also
occupied by two other tenants in
February, the new property owner
tripled the base rent and sought to
have the renters pay for other costs
such as building maintenance and
property taxes, Kaufmann said.
Their rent would have quadrupled
overnight, Kaufmann said while
remaining patient and understanding.
Its too bad. I cant blame the new
guys for having a new price on the
place because the price things are
selling for are just astronomically

RAIL
Continued from page 1
nections, rental car facilities, and
shops necessary to meet the needs of
train passengers, the independent
Legislative Analysts Office said in a
report, referring to the first planned
end point near the town of Shafter,
north of Bakersfield.
The LAO urged state lawmakers to
require more detailed planning on the
cost, scope and schedule of each highspeed rail segment, noting that the
projects every-other-year business
plans make numerous changes that
make it hard to compare costs over
time.
Still, analysts say the rail authoritys new plan to first build north to the
San Francisco Bay Area instead of to
Southern California makes some
sense.

People in the news


as Indianas son. It followed a nearly
20-year gap in the franchise after
1989s Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade.
Another Indiana Jones film has
long been rumored, occasionally with
whispers of different actors taking
over the role from the 73-year-old
Ford. But Spielberg has repeatedly
insisted Ford would never be replaced.
The actors return as his famous fedora-

wearing archaeologist comes shortly


after reprising his equally iconic Han
Solo in Star Wars: The Force
Awakens.
Indiana Jones is one of the greatest
heroes in cinematic history, and we
cant wait to bring him back to the
screen in 2019, said Alan Horn, chairman of the Walt Disney Studios. Its
rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and
role, and we couldnt be more excited
to embark on this adventure with
Harrison and Steven.

high and its just more than we can


afford, Kaufmann said. From the
looks of it and trying to find a place,
it was very difficult finding someplace in the new economy. I almost
kind of doubt well open up a brick
and mortar again. Well look for it and
if we find it well do it, but thats not
our thought right now.
Instead, theyll focus on Internet
sales. The store has a website, but
Kaufmann said they hadnt needed to
resort to selling online until now.
Theres a variety of factors that lead
to Kaufmanns closing many shoppers turned to the Internet seeking
deals or to avoid sales taxes and camera manufacturers have greatly eroded
the gross profit margin one makes on
a camera. What used to be 20 percent
profit margin allowing them to make
deals with customers, has dropped to
about 5 percent or 8 percent with
much of that eaten away by credit card
fees, Kaufmann said.
But they were never just about profit margins and Kaufmann said hed
miss the social interactions that come
with running a shop.
Our business over the years was
not so much a retail, youve got to
make a buck type of place. We were

all very interested in photography


and we liked helping people. So its a
loss in that factor, that you dont have
that personal contact or being able to
help them with their photographs,
Kaufmann said, noting theyd tell
staff to do whatever is best for the
customer, whether it results in a sale
or not, it was always whatever was
best for the customer.
Between being on 25th Avenue and
in searching for other buildings to
rent throughout San Mateo County,
Kaufmann noted hes seen a trend.
Theres not very much of what I
would call retail, where you sell a customer a product like a TV or radio or
camera. Its all becoming service
oriented. Tons of nail parlors and
massage parlors and people that are
even moving into retail spaces that
are not in the business of contacting
the general public, like lawyers or
dog washers, Kaufmann said. Even
offices are outlandishly expensive in
this area. And I guess thats because of
Silicon Valley expanding all the way
up here. Its getting so small independent dealers just cant afford it.

With future funding uncertain, officials last month called for building the
first 250-mile segment from north of
Bakersfield to San Jose. It would begin
operating in 2025 three years later
and 50 miles shorter than the original
planned route that would have gone to
the San Fernando Valley.
Backers said the plan lets the state
build an operating portion of the line
without relying on additional money
that might never come. Supporters
hope construction will generate
momentum and private investment to
pay for the rest of the project south to
the Los Angeles area.
The legislative analyst also questioned the math on that.
It is unclear whether the system will
actually generate an operating surplus.
Moreover, the plan estimates that the
amount of funding that could be generated would fall significantly short ...
and does not identify how this shortfall would be met.
The updated plans reflect the politi-

cal realities that have confronted the


project in the years since 2008, when
voters approved selling nearly $10
billion in bonds for a high-speed rail
network linking Northern and
Southern California. The last business
plan, approved in 2014, called for the
entire 520-mile system to be finished
in 2028 at a cost of $68 billion.
The legislative analyst also noted
there is uncertainty about one of the
key ongoing funding sources, revenue
from the states fee on greenhouse gas
pollution, which is expected to generate $600 million for the project this
year. That program is only authorized
through 2020, the report noted.
High-speed rail chief executive Jeff
Morales said in a statement the analyst
finds merit in the Central Valley to
Silicon Valley segment proposed.
We remain committed to moving
forward with this project to create
jobs, improve air quality and better
connect Californias communities, he
said.

course of the hearing he was deceptive in
his answers and that he was emotionless
for what hed done and that it demonstrated
to the board members that he lacked
insight into the crime and why he committed it.
Pena and Garcia were convicted in 2003
of stabbing to death Tolua, a Capuchino
High School senior who on April 8, 2001,
asked uninvited guests to leave his girlfriends house during an out-of-control
party at her parents San Carlos home.
After breaking things in the house and
refusing to leave, a chaotic fight ended
with Pena and Garcia killing Tolua in the
kitchen before fleeing.

age it has caused to the cars propulsion
systems and the repair process could be
lengthy.
Its going to take months for the fleet
to be recovered fully, Hardt said. He also
said in his around nine years with BART,
hes never seen an issue of this sort and of
this magnitude.
BART officials first reported problems
between the two stations shortly after 10
a.m. Wednesday. Train service between the
stations has been halted since then and
buses have been transporting riders.
Hardt said theres a voltage problem that
either stems from an oversupply of electricity or an issue the train cars are having
with returning the power received.
He said the cause of the problem hasnt

The way they killed Tony, it was brutal,
they stabbed him in the heart twice, they
stabbed him in the lung, in the spleen,
they severed his fingers it was just a brutal murder, Tolua said. I hate to see anybody in jail because its not a nice place to
be. But when you do a crime like this, and
the nature of the crime, it was terrible; you
dont think youre just going to kill someone and walk away and get free in 15
years.
Recalling the case as a parents worst
nightmare particularly as the girlfriends parents were on a short trip in Lake
Tahoe when she decided to host a party that
quickly got out of hand Wagstaffe said
hes glad Toluas family received some
reassurance Thursday.
People forget the families suffer forever. Sometimes it seems like the focus is on
the offender or the defendant, but what we
remember is the victims suffer forever. So
Im glad that what they wanted (for Pena to
remain in prison) was at least accomplished today, Wagstaffe said Thursday.
been isolated. Potential reasons run the
gamut from malfunctioning aged infrastructure to too much power coming from
PG&E.
BART is flying in at least one outside
expert in power control and protection and
is consulting with PG&E officials to further investigate the issue.
Hardt said that although the areas are not
associated with the same electrical infrastructure, BART train cars were damaged
similarly due to a problem mid-February in
Oakland.
There were also intermittent train car
propulsion failures around the same time in
the Transbay Tube, which runs under the
Bay and connects the East Bay with San
Francisco.
The latest glitch, between Pittsburg/Bay
Point and North Concord/Martinez, has
not been intermittent. Hardt said theres a
silver lining in that, given that the source
of this new issue can be isolated.

After the more than 37-day trial, Garcia


and Pena were convicted of second degree
murder and received a 15-year sentence plus
another year for using the knife.
Garcia and Pena, who at the time were 19year-old San Jose residents, showed up to
the teenage party uninvited by Tolua or his
girlfriend.
Tolua was trying to clear the house at the
request of his girlfriend after somebody
broke a vase in the living room, according
to witnesses who testified at trial.
Tolua entered the kitchen and confronted
Pena and Garcia asking them to leave. They
refused and the fight ended with Tolua
being stabbed in the torso and heart by two
separate knives. The weapons were later
located on the route allegedly taken by
Pena and Garcia as they fled in a friends

on when the cause could be pinpointed or


how long the section of the track affected
will go without train service, a separate
timeline from when the BART fleet will
return to its normal operation.
BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost said
there are typically around 590 train cars
running in BARTs fleet during a weekday
morning commute but only 534 were operating Thursday.
BART officials also said there were 11
trains shorter than usual by one car and
five trains shorter by two cars Thursday
morning.
Trost said riders should expect trains to
be more crowded under such conditions.
Some of the train cars that need maintenance will require much more time than
others to be reintroduced into the fleet to
ease that crowding.
Hardt said on the train cars that use
direct-current components, the voltage
spike impaired a device called a thyristor,
which costs $1,000 each and are received

car.
During trial, Garcia argued he acted in
self-defense and Pena claimed he was part
of the initial fight but denied any participation in the killing. Their defense attorneys at trial argued their clients felt
trapped in the kitchen and feared for their
lives when a fight broke out.
The attorney who represented Pena at his
parole hearing Thursday could not be identified for comment.
Darlene Tolua said the friends of her son,
who was preparing to go to college and was
well-liked, continue to check in on her and
were also happy to hear Pena would remain
locked up.
She thanked the District Attorneys
Office for being supportive and like
Wagstaffe, hopes Garcia who is currently incarcerated in San Luis Obispo will
remain in prison.
I do hope again, for the same reasons
for community protection, that the parole
board sees the second case as they did
today, Wagstaffe said.
sporadically from a specialized manufacturer.
BARTs engineers only had 12 on hand
and may need around 100, Hardt said.
Although some of the devices may be salvaged, buying these devices alone may
cost up to an estimated $100,000.
The alternating-current model train cars,
which have been updated much more
recently, mostly sustained blown fuses a
much easier and less expensive fix, Hardt
said.
Despite the damage the voltage spike
caused to train cars, it did not present a danger to riders, BART officials said.
Buses will continue transporting people
between the Pittsburg/Bay Point and North
Concord/Martinez stations Friday, a trip
estimated Thursday morning to take around
15 minutes.
BART officials apologized for the inconvenience and said crews were working
around the clock to identify the problem
and fix it.
