DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Continuing a recent upswing in new, residential developments coming to South San Francisco, city officials are
slated to consider a couple more housing projects this week
that would add more than 80 apartments to the citys downtown.
Two proposed housing projects, at 255 Cypress Ave. and
488 Linden Ave., will go before the Planning Commission
for an initial round of approval Thursday, May 21.
The sites are less than a mile away from each other and
offer the city an opportunity to further realize the vision

which takes aim at adding more centrally located transit-

County reaches $6.5M settlement

with Lehman Brothers auditors
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The county of San Mateo and other

California public entities reached a $6.5 million settlement with Lehman Brothers auditors Ernst & Young, which concludes its
legal efforts to recoup its losses from the
2008 Lehman bankruptcy.
San Mateo County will receive about 70
percent of the settlement and will share the
remainder with the cities of Auburn,
Burbank, San Buenaventura and the Contra
Costa Water District, the Monterey County
Investment Pool, the San Mateo County
Investment Pool, the Vallejo Sanitation and
Flood Control District and Zenith Insurance
Company, according to San Mateo County
Counsel John Beiers.
Lehmans failure spelled a $155 million
loss to the countys investment pool which
held funds for the county, school districts,

Peninsula High
School gets new principal
Ron Campana will serve as the new
Peninsula Alternative High School, beginning July 1.
The San Mateo Union High School District
officially named Campana to the position
Tuesday, May 12.
Campana has 16 years of educational experience, including two years of working previously as assistant principal at Peninsula. He
is currently the principal of Half Moon Bay
High School.
He worked for seven years as a teacher and
coach at Aragon High School, beginning in
1999. He later served as the dean of students
and athletic director at Ralston Middle
School in Belmont. Campana also was the
dean of students at Capuchino High School.
Superintendent Scott Laurence, in a prepared statement, praised Campanas success
and leadership as an administrator.
Rons passion for serving all students,
his record of creating new programs, and his
ability to implement meaningful change for
the benefit of all students make him the perfect educational leader to serve as thePAHS
principal, he said

special districts and other public agencies in

over 1,050 different accounts. The countys
investment pool ultimately recovered more
than $71 million or 46 percent of losses
through bankruptcy proceedings and litigation against Lehman Brothers directors
and officers and Lehmans auditors, Ernst &
Young.
In November 2013, county officials had
announced a $5.2 million settlement with
the former officers and directors of Lehman
Brothers through a lawsuit filed after the Wall
Street firms bankruptcy in the midst of the
nations economic collapse leeched more
than $155 million from the local investment
pool. Unlike bankruptcy proceedings, the
countys litigation targeted the personal
assets of specific executives like former CEO
Richard Fuld, holding them responsible for
the firms financial failure. That lawsuit
claimed Lehman executives knowingly mis-

led investors leading up to its bankruptcy

and used accounting gimmicks to keep entities from selling before the entire firm collapsed in September 2008.
County officials credited the financial
recovery to the hard work of the Treasurers
Office, the law firm of Cotchett, Pitre &
McCarthy which represented the county, and
the County Counsels Office who worked
together to develop the countys legal strategy widely considered novel at the time.
Supervisor Carole Groom, president of the
Board of Supervisors, said the county is
pleased to reach a resolution.
The county of San Mateo takes very seriously its responsibility to taxpayers and to
the agencies, school districts and special districts participating in its investment pool.
This settlement doesnt fix all the hurt caused
by the collapse but it is one way to recoup
some part of the loss, Groom said.

Beached whales
to be buried on beach

The Marin Headlands-based Marine

Mammal Center assisted in the necropsy for
the two whales. The center has responded to
17 beached sperm whales and 21 beached
humpbacks in its 40-year history.
Marine Mammal Center spokeswoman
Laura Sherr said Monday that while generally
whale carcasses are left to decompose on
beaches, that usually happens on more
remote beaches where its easier to let nature
take its course.
But in the case where the landowner wants
to get rid of them, the center has no objections, Sherr said. Center researchers finished
studying the two whales within a week of
their discovery.

Two whales that turned up dead on a

Pacifica beach in recent weeks will be buried
there at the request of the city, according to
police.
Both whales beached on Sharp Park Beach.
A 48-foot sperm whale was discovered on
April 14 near Mori Point and a 42-foot adult
female humpback was found on May 5.
Researchers conducted necropsies on both
whales but were unable to determine their
specific cause of death, though injuries from
blunt force trauma indicated the humpback
might have died from a ship strike.
The section of beach where the whales were
found is under San Francisco Recreation and
Parks Department jurisdiction. Recreation
and Parks officials had decided to allow the
whales to decompose, according to Pacifica
police.
But Pacifica city officials asked the
Recreation and Parks Department to consider
burying the whales because of the odors coming from the carcasses.
The whales will be buried on the beach
above the high tide line, Recreation and
Parks spokeswoman Sarah Ballard said
Monday. Details on how they will be buried
and when are still being worked out, she said.

Barack Obama delivers remarks after meeting with local youth and law enforcement officials
at the Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Camden, N.J.

Obama restricts police military

combat gear, says it can alienate
By Nedra Pickler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAMDEN, N.J. President Barack Obama

ended long-running federal transfers of some
combat-style gear to local law enforcement
on Monday in an attempt to ease tensions
between police and minority communities,
saying equipment made for the battlefield
should not be a tool of American criminal justice.
Grenade launchers, bayonets, tracked
armored vehicles, weaponized aircraft and
vehicles, firearms and ammunition of .50caliber or higher will no longer be provided
to state and local police agencies by the federal government under Obamas order.
Weve seen how militarized gear can
sometimes give people a feeling like theres
an occupying force, as opposed to a force
thats part of the community thats protecting them and serving them, Obama said,
nine months after an outcry over the use of
riot gear and armored vehicles by police confronting protesters in Ferguson, Missouri.
It can alienate and intimidate local residents and send the wrong message, he said.
Obama made his announcement in Camden,
New Jersey, where he praised efforts by the
police department to improve their relationship with a poor community struggling with
violence.
With police under increased scrutiny over
highly publicized deaths of black suspects

nationwide, Obama also unveiled the final

report of a task force he created to help build
confidence between police and minority
communities. And he issued a broader appeal
for Americans to address racial disparities and
the needs of poor communities before they
erupt into disorder.
He also reiterated his call for overhauling
sentencing practices for nonviolent drug
crimes.
We cant ask the police to be the ones to
solve the problem when there are no ablebodied men in the community or kids are
growing up without intact households, he
said.
In Camden, Obama visited the police RealTime Tactical Operational Intelligence
Center and watched live video displays of
city neighborhoods being monitored by officers. He also stopped by a community center
where he met with young people and local
police officers.
Ahead of his Camden remarks, Obama
stopped briefly in nearby Philadelphia to
praise its police and fire officials for their
quick response to last weeks deadly Amtrak
wreck.
In addition to the prohibitions in his order,
Obama also is placing a longer list of military equipment under tighter control, including wheeled armored vehicles like Humvees,
manned aircraft, drones, specialized firearms,
explosives, battering rams and riot batons,
helmets and shields.

SACRAMENTO California communities must hold public hearings before their

police departments accept military equipment such as tanks and grenade launchers
under a bill approved Monday in the state
Assembly.
The vote came hours after President
Barack Obama announced the federal government would stop providing some combat-style gear to local law enforcement.
Police departments have received surplus
military equipment for decades, but the
practice faces increased scrutiny after
police responded in armored trucks and in
camouflage against demonstrators protesting the killings of unarmed black men.
California lawmakers said the bill, AB36,
would help reduce tensions between police
and the people they serve. Under the bill,
local government bodies like city councils
and board of supervisors must approve the
acquisition of military equipment in public
meetings.
This decision needs to be deliberative
and not made in haste just because the federal government has made military equipment
available, said Assemblyman Anthony
Rendon, D-Lakewood.
AB36 passed the Assembly 52-to-11 and
heads to the Senate.

Bill aims to crack down on

community college sexual assault
SACRAMENTO The California
Assembly has approved legislation that
would allow community colleges to expel
students for sexually assaulting classmates
off campus.
Democratic Assemblyman Das Williams
of Carpinteria says some community colleges do not believe they can penalize students for off-campus sexual assaults. His
bill would also require transfer students to
disclose if they were suspended for rape or
sexual battery at other schools.
Local community college governing
boards would hold hearings to decide

Tuesday May 19, 2015

whether to admit those students.
The bill heads to the Senate, which unanimously approved a similar bill last

status for legislative aides
SACRAMENTO Legislative staff in
California would gain whistleblower protection under a bill that has advanced out of
the Assembly.
AB289 extends the protections for
reporting illegal and unethical behavior
that are available to state employees to
staff of the state Legislature. Its the second
attempt at passing such legislation after a
similar bill stalled in the Senate last year.
The push for protection came after state
Senators Leland Yee and Ron Calderon were
arrested on federal corruption charges last
year. Republican Assemblywoman Melissa
Melendez of Lake Elsinore says her bill
would show corruption is not tolerated in
the Legislature.
AB289 advanced unanimously Monday
without debate.

Assembly vote lets terminally

ill request experimental drugs
SACRAMENTO Terminally ill patients
would be able to use experimental drugs
under a bill approved by the California
Assembly.
The so-called right-to-try legislation
would let patients who have exhausted other
treatment options request medication that
hasnt been approved by state or federal
regulators.
Drug makers would decide whether to provide the medication. Some medical groups
say the legislation could hurt the development of new drugs.
Democratic Assemblyman Ian Calderon
of Whittier says patients with weeks or
months to live should have more options.
AB159 passed Monday on a 69 to 2 vote
and now goes to the Senate.

California concerns grow over

oilfield operations near water
By Ellen Knickmeyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO California regulators on Monday expanded their list of

thousands of state-permitted oil and gas
wells where below-ground injections
may be contaminating drinking-water
reserves.
State water officials already have
acknowledged that improperly permitted oilfield operations have contaminated underground aquifers that are federally
protected because they hold current or
potential sources of drinking water.
An ongoing state review ordered by
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency has yet to break that down into
whether any Californian is drinking
contaminated water as a result of the
improperly authorized oilfield operations, a state water official said.

answer is not going to be tomorrow,

John Borkovich, chief of the state water
boards groundwater monitoring section, told reporters. Theres a lot of
data to collect.
The review by state oil and gas regulators identified in 2014 more than 2,500
oilfield wells that were injecting brine
and other production and waste fluids
into the federally protected water
aquifers. State regulators this year and
last ordered oil companies to shut 23
central California oilfield injection
wells 22 in Kern County and one in
Tulare County that officials said
posed the biggest potential threat to
nearby public water wells.

On Monday, regulators released a state

letter sent Friday to the U.S. EPA identifying an additional 30 oilfield injection
sites as high-priority potential risks to
nearby water wells. State officials told
reporters they believed many or all of
the threatened water wells were not currently being used for drinking water or
irrigation, however.
Unlike in the previous 23 oilfield
operations closed by emergency state
orders, regulators will wait for the oil
companies in charge of those 30
drilling sites to completely assess the
threat to local water wells before officials decide whether to shut those immediately as well.

Rout in Ramadi calls U.S. Iraq strategy into question

By Robert Burns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The fall of

Ramadi calls into question the
Obama administrations strategy
in Iraq.
Is there a Plan B?
The current U.S. approach is a
blend of retraining and rebuilding
the Iraqi army, prodding Baghdad
to reconcile with the nations
Sunnis, and bombing Islamic
State targets from the air without
committing American ground
combat troops.
But the rout revealed a weak Iraqi
army, slow reconciliation and a
bombing campaign that, while
effective, is not decisive.
On Monday, administration
officials acknowledged the fall of
Ramadi, the capital of Anbar
province, as a setback in
Americas latest effort in Iraq.
They still maintained the campaign would ultimately bring victory.
But anything close to a victory
appeared far off. The Islamic State
group captured Ramadi over the
weekend, killing up to 500 Iraqi
civilians and soldiers and causing
8,000 people to flee their homes.
On Monday the militants did a
door-to-door search looking for
policemen and pro-government
tribesmen.
One alternative would be a containment strategy trying to
fence in the conflict rather than
push the Islamic State group out of
Iraq. That might include a combination of airstrikes and U.S. special operations raids to limit the
groups reach. In fact, a Delta

IS militants look for collaborators after taking city

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Islamic State militants searched door-to-door for

policemen and pro-government
fighters and threw bodies in the
Euphrates River in a bloody purge
Monday after capturing the strategic city of Ramadi, their biggest
victory since overrunning much of
northern and western Iraq last year.
Some 500 civilians and soldiers
died in the extremist killing spree
since the final push for Ramadi
began Friday, authorities said.

Responding to a call from Prime

Minister Haider al-Abadi, hundreds
of Iranian-allied Shiite militiamen
rushed to a military base near
Ramadi, the capital of overwhelmingly Sunni Anbar province, to
prepare for an assault to try to
retake the city, Anbar officials
said. The order came despite
Obama administration concerns
that the presence of Shiite fighters
in the Sunni-dominated region
could spark sectarian bloodshed.
Until now, the defense of Anbar
has been in the hands of the Iraqi

military fighting alongside Sunni

tribesmen, who al-Abadis Shiiteled government had vowed to arm
and support something it has
done only sporadically.
The Shiite militias have been
key to victories against the
Islamic State group on other fronts
north of Baghdad in recent
months. But they have also been
widely criticized over accusations
of extrajudicial killings of Sunnis,
as well as of looting and torching
Sunni property charges militia
leaders deny.

Force raid in Syria on Friday killed

an IS leader known as Abu Sayyaf
who U.S. officials said oversaw
the groups oil and gas opera-

tions, a major source of funding.

Officials have said containment
might become an option but is not
under active discussion now.

It seems highly unlikely that

President Barack Obama would
take the more dramatic route of
sending ground combat forces

into Iraq to rescue the situation in

Ramadi or elsewhere. A White
House spokesman, Eric Shultz,
said Monday the U.S. will continue its support through airstrikes,
advisers and trainers; he pointed
to an intensified series of coalition air assaults in the Ramadi
area, which included eight strikes
overnight Sunday.
The administration has said
repeatedly that it does not believe
Iraq can be stabilized for the long
term unless Iraqis do the ground
fighting.
Pentagon officials insisted
Monday the current U.S. plan is
still viable and that the loss of the
city was merely part of the ebb and
flow of war, not a sign that the
Islamic State had exposed a fatal
weakness in the Iraqi security
forces and the U.S. strategy.
We will retake Ramadi, said
Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon
spokesman. The timing, he added,
will be up to the Iraqi government.
Analysts are skeptical. Stephen
Biddle, a George Washington
University professor of political
science who periodically advised
U.S. commanders in Iraq during
the 2003-2011 war, said Obama
has been trying to split the Sunni
tribes away from the Islamic State
while pressing the Iraqi government to foster and rely on nonsectarian military forces.
Thats clearly not working, or
at least its not making the
progress we had hoped it would
make, Biddle said.
The Institute for the Study of
War, which closely tracks developments in Iraq, said Ramadi was a
key IS victory.

Some say that

science and religion
dont mix. Some
say that science is
the ultimate search
for God. Some say
religion supersedes
science, some say both have equal stature
and others say both are hogwash. Everyone
has their own personal assessment of the
correlation between scie
nce and religion.
The aspiration of religion along with the
aspiration of science is to explain the
universe and answer ques
tions about life, in
addition to satisfying human psychological
needs when dealing w
ith the realities of
death. Religion is based on faith, science is
based on observation, and both are based on
human curiosity and the need to nd
answers. Whether a person is repetitively
reading religious scripture, or fascinated by
repeatable scientic experimentations, both
are searching for methods that answer
questions about the un
iverse around us.
Way way back early humans turned to
religion as a way to alleviate their fears and
gain reassurance with the concept of life
after death. This helped to give them a
sense of order in a confusing world that
often seemed mysterious.
Eventually
scientic realization evolved along side
religion and the process of trial and error
established itself as a way to solve some of
these mysteries. Firethe wheelfarming.
The more humans observed the world they
lived in, the more they leaned how the
natural world worked and how they could
manipulate it to their advantage. Over the
centuries religious power came at odds with
scientic discovery, which led to a period of

scientic stagnation: The Dark Ages.

Later at the dawn of The Renaissance
science was again embraced leading to great
advances in art, architecture, medicine,
astronomy and other natural sciences. Over
the ages science and religion have been
evolving together on a roller coaster ride of
acceptance, denial and equilibrium.
We now appear to be at a crossroads
where religion is not only viewing science
with an evaluative broadmindedness, but is
exploring hand in hand with scientic
processes. One prime example is the
Vaticans
Pontical
Academy
of
Sciences. Quoting John Paul II: ...today
eminent scientists are members a visible
sign of the profound harmony that can
exist between the truths of science and the
truths of faith.... Gregor Mendel, the father
of Genetics, was an Augustinian Friar.
Georges Lemaitre, who developed much of
the Big Bang Theory, was a Jesuit priest.
Recently, Pope Francis, who has a Masters
Degree in Chemistry, insisted that there is
no reason to believe that science and God
are incompatible.
With all this in mind, every human being
is unique as a ngerprint, and every human
brain has its own unique consciousness.
Whether you analyze with your religious cap
or your science cap, matrimony between the
two could be found by looking inward. So,
close your eyes, examine your deep
thoughts, and you may detect a rational
enlightenment nely attuned to both.

Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen

resume after truce expires
By Ahmed Al-Haj
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen Saudi-led

airstrikes targeting Yemens Shiite
rebels resumed on Monday and
fierce clashes were underway
across the impoverished country
after a five-day truce expired.
The cease-fire had been repeatedly violated, with both the rebels,
known as Houthis, and Saudibacked forces loyal to exiled
Yemeni President Abed Rabbo
Mansour Hadi trading blame for
the continued violence.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon hopes to convene a peace
conference on Yemen in the near
future, but wants the fighting to
stop before he sends out invitations, his spokesman said.
U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan

Haq also said Yemens health facilities reported higher casualties

from the conflict which are likely
to be underestimates 1,820
people killed and 7,330 wounded
since March 19. He said aid groups
estimate that more than 545,000
people were displaced between
March 26, when the airstrikes
began, and May 7.
Dozens of politicians and tribal
leaders have been holding talks in
the Saudi capital to discuss a way
out of the crisis, but the rebels
boycotted the meeting and Iran,
which supports the Houthis,
objected to the venue.
The coalition accuses Shiitemajority Iran of arming the
Houthis as part of a larger struggle
with Sunni Saudi Arabia for
regional influence, something the
Islamic Republic and the rebels
deny.

Greek finance minister: Bailout deal close

Flood, mudslide sweep away

homes in Colombia, killing 52

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Luis Benavides

ATHENS, Greece Greek

Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis
said Monday that he expects an
agreement with bailout creditors
within the next week, which would
save the cash-strapped country
from fast-approaching bankruptcy.
I think we are very close,
Varoufakis said. Lets say (its a
matter) of about a week.
For almost four months,
Greeces radical left-led government has been haggling with its
creditors from the 19-country eurozone and International Monetary

Fund over economic reforms it

must make to secure a 7.2 billion
euro ($8 billion) cash injection.
That is the final payment due
from the countrys 240 billioneuro bailout program, launched
five years ago after Greeces public
finances spiraled out of control and
it was locked out of international
bond markets.
In a late-night interview with
private Star TV, Varoufakis said
creditors also appear to believe
that the time is ripe for a deal. But
he insisted that he would reject any
compromise that the radical leftled government in Athens considers to be non-viable.

SALGAR, Colombia An avalanche of mud and debris roared

over an alpine town in western
Colombia before dawn Monday,
killing at least 52 people in a
flash flood and mudslide triggered
by heavy rains.
Residents were stirred from bed
in the dead of the night by a loud
rumble and neighbors shouts of
The river! The river! as modestly
built homes and bridges plunged
into the Libordiana ravine.
Survivors barely had enough time

to gather their loved ones.

It was rocks and tree trunks
everywhere, Diego Agudelo told
the Associated Press, adding that
never in 34 years living next to
the ravine had he suspected such a
tragedy was possible.
The river took out everything
in its path, the construction
worker said, including the back
part of his home.
The disaster hit around 3 a.m.
local time (4 a.m. EDT) in the
town of Salgar, about 60 miles
southwest of Medellin.
Dozens of rescuers supported by
Black Hawk helicopters evacuated

residents near the ravine for fear of

another mudslide. A red fire truck
could be seen hauling away several
bodies, their bare feet dangling
from an open trunk.
President Juan Manuel Santos,
who traveled to the town to oversee relief efforts, said several children lost their parents and the bodies of those killed needed to be
transported to Medellin to be identified. As giant diggers were
removing debris he vowed to
rebuild the lost homes and provide
shelter and assistance for the estimated 500 people affected by the
calamity.

Protect your flame

Appalling rip-off by for-profit colleges

Other voices

Ontario Daily Bulletin

hy do for-prot colleges and

universities even exist in a
world in which we have so
many superb genuine institutions dedicated
to truly higher learning?
The rst thing to understand is that,
given the rapacious marketing campaigns
aimed at unsuspecting veterans topped with
the fact that it is only government-backed
student loans that make these businesses
protable, the above is a question very
much worth asking.
A good position for a (genuine) college
debate team to argue would be: Resolved:
For-prot colleges should not exist. The
cherry on top of the evidence that the
schools should not be allowed to rip off
students under the guise of providing them
an education could easily be the recent
bankruptcy of the appalling Corinthian
Colleges Inc., which the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau has labeled
nothing more than a predatory lending
scheme, operating in the guise of an educational establishment.
Attorneys seeking to represent some
500,000 Corinthian students whose
degrees are now essentially worthless or
who never got to nish say that the school

may be liable for up to $25 billion in student claims. The lawyers say the students
were entirely misled by Corinthian and its
subsidiaries about the schools accreditation status and how much money a degree
would really cost.
To be fair, one (genuine) scholar who has
studied the matter has an answer to our
original question: For-prots exist in
large part to x educational market failures
left by traditional institutions, and they
prot by serving students that public and
private nonprot institutions too often
ignore, Kevin Carey wrote in The
Chronicle of Higher Education in 2010.
There is a kicker to that from Carey:
Theres no doubt that the worst for-prots
are ruthlessly exploiting the commodied
college degree. But they didnt commodify
it in the rst place.
Indeed they did not. Traditional American
higher education, from Harvard to your
local community college, is itself the
greatest commodier in the world of the
notion that what it has to sell is worth
almost any price. And it gets us to do the
advertising. In no other nation in the world
does the family sedan sport a decal often

multiple decals bragging about where

the kids, or the dad and mom, went to college. There are no Oxford stickers on
Londons Jaguars, no Sorbonne promotion on a Parisian Peugeot. The price we
pay for traditional colleges has gone
through the roof, and some of them go out
of business, too, as Sweet Briar in Virginia
has.
But it is a time of reckoning for the businesses that own schools. Their student
base is shrinking rapidly, and many campuses often just ofce space are
being closed. Even the biggest, the
University of Phoenix, has less than half
the students it had in 2010.
Its time for a rethinking of the entire
well-meaning but failed notion that every
American student should go to college.
The fact is that most high school students
have neither the desire nor the aptitude for
the old liberal-arts model of four years at
State U. And no large economy can support
that model.
We need to invest in our community colleges to provide affordable technical vocational training that will give students the
skills they really need in todays changing
workplace. With its large and excellent
system, California could lead the nation in
practical, affordable college for all, eliminating the need for the rip-off for-prots.

Journal, District Attorney Wagstaff has

offered the 68 Stanford University students
arrested for blocking the San MateoHayward Bridge on the Martin Luther King
holiday a well-reasoned plea deal in
exchange for a no-contest plea tomisdemeanor obstruction. Some protesters have
taken the deal. The remainder, about 50 students, are scheduled for jury trials. The cost
in dollars to try these cases is high and
takes up valuable court time. The defendants are certainly entitled to a trial.
So, assuming that they continue to rebuff
the plea deal, the DA should seek a signicant sentence if they are found guilty. The
maximum sentence under the law is a year
in jail and a $1,000 ne. If this is a rst
offense, a minimum sentence of nine
months in jail and a $500 ne with no
parole might be sufcient.
On the day in question, thousands of
innocent motorists were negatively
impacted. There were some minor trafc
accidents, as well. Additionally, 30 CHP
units were taken away from other patrols

exemption for causing problems to innocent people. Of course, being Stanford students, they know this.

ave you ever tried to guard a

flame lit candle from fierce
winds or rain with nothing more
than the protection of your bare hands?
The task can seem all but impossible. Try
as you might, Mother Natures forceful
winds will move, redirect and pressure
the flame through the cracks of your fingertips. Often, the flame will eventually
succumb to the pressures of the Earths
elements, leaving nothing more than a
trail of rising smoke. But, sometimes,
despite forceful
winds and rain,
a flame can
withstand the
turbulent forces
of nature and
rise again.
One of my
favorite biblical
passages
describing this
phenomena
comes from the
book of
Jonathan Madison
Matthew 5:14.
In this passage, Jesus gave one of his
profound Sermon on the Mount before a
crowd of hundreds. Jesus explained that
in spite of the flaws intrinsic to our
humanity, that each of us possess an
everlasting light. You are the light of
the world. Let your light shine before
others, he said, that others may see
your good deeds. This passage is unique
as it shows us that Jesus did not consider
himself the only light of the world. In
fact, this passage demonstrates that,
despite our inevitable shortcomings that
come with being human, each and every
one of us possesses a flame in the darkness of our ever-changing world.
The light that Jesus refers to is our
vision, spirit and purpose. Like the parable of the flame above, each of us
undoubtedly face moments in which our
flames are tested with abrupt winds, discouraging rain and the forceful storms of
failure.
The fear of failure alone is often
enough to prevent many of us from pursuing our visions and fulfilling our divine
purpose. To some extent, the fear is justifiable. We all encounter failure at various
stages in our lives. Believe it or not,
failure comes with being human.
I learned this early in life in witnessing many of my peers allow the fear of
failure to drive them away from their
visions. They allowed storms of discouragement and fear to put an end to their
flame. Many of them turned to alternative
careers or goals by which they were less
frightened. Witnessing some of these
individuals fail in pursuing alternatives
to their dreams and visions showed me
that, if we can fail in pursuing things
that we do not necessarily want to do,
then why not give our best shot at what
we know we were born to do?
We should not be afraid to fail, or to let
the light from our flames shine. Our
flames will inevitably be put to the test

Veracyte Inc., up $1.36 to $10.63
The diagnostics companys lung cancer test gained some positive
attention following the publication of study results.

NEW YORK The stock market

crept to a record high in a quiet session on Monday.
Investors had little news to weigh
because most major companies have
finished reporting
first-quarter
results.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 26.32 points, or 0.1 percent,
to 18,298.88. The Standard & Poors
rose 6.47 points, or 0.3 percent, to
2,129.20 and the Nasdaq composite
rose 30.15 points, or 0.6 percent, to
5,078.44.
Among the winners was Apple,
which rose $1.42, or 1 percent, to
$130. 19. Activist investor Carl
Icahn published a letter Monday calling for the technology giant to buy
back more of its own stock. Icahn
said Apple is worth $240 a share.
Apple and Icahn have fought the last
couple of years, but Icahn has been
mostly successful at getting Apple to
increase its share buybacks and dividends recently.
While the S&P 500 has notched
record highs for three straight days,
strategists caution that it will be difficult for the stock market to move
substantially higher from here.

We will need to see a clear turnaround in

the economic data and start to see earnings growth
for investors to find some confidence in this market.
David Lebovitz, a global market strategist with JPMorgan Funds

First-quarter results are tallied up,

and the Federal Reserve appears to be
waiting to raise interest rates until
later this year.
We will need to see a clear turnaround in the economic data and start
to see earnings growth for investors
to find some confidence in this market, said David Lebovitz, a global
market strategist with JPMorgan
Funds.
There were a couple minor corporate deals to work through. Ann Inc.,
the parent company of Ann Taylor
and Loft, jumped $7.69, or 20 percent, to $46.40 after it agreed to be
acquired by The Ascena Retail Group.
Pharmaceutical
company
Endo
International fell $4.58, or 5.4 percent, to $80.77 after it agreed to buy
the privately held Par Pharmaceutical
for $8 billion.
In the energy markets, the price of
oil fell for the fourth straight session
Monday. Oil has been drifting lower
on high supplies of crude and fuels,
and a rising dollar has been making

oil less attractive to overseas buyers.

Benchmark U.S. crude fell 26 cents
to close at $59.43 a barrel in New
York. Brent crude, a benchmark for
international oil used by many U.S.
refineries, fell 54 cents to close at
$66.27 in London.
In other futures trading on the
NYMEX, wholesale gasoline fell 1.6
cents to close at $2.041 a gallon,
heating oil fell 1.8 cents to close at
$1.987 a gallon and natural gas fell
0.6 cent to close at $3.010 per 1,000
cubic feet.
U.S. government bond prices fell.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note rose to 2.23 percent from 2.15
percent Friday.
The euro slipped $1. 1304 from
$1. 1390 on Friday. The dollar
climbed to 120 yen from 119.38 yen
on Friday.
In metals trading, gold rose $2.30
to $1,227.60 an ounce, silver rose
17 cents to $17.73 an ounce and copper edged down two cents to $2.91 a

let users pinch or double-tap to shrink

or enlarge an image. Although it upheld the
patent claims, the Washington, D.C.-based
appeals court said Apple wasnt entitled to
damages for its claims that Samsung had
copied the iPhones trade dress or overall
appearance.
The long-running case was one of several
lawsuits in which Apple, Samsung and
other tech companies locked horns in a
global battle for pre-eminence in the
smartphone market. Today the smartphone
business is still booming, but the battles
have largely shifted away from the legal
arena.
While Apple won large monetary awards
by arguing that Samsung copied some of its
products, it had less success in persuading
courts to issue injunctions that would have
kept Samsungs versions off the market.
But since then, the California companys

latest iPhone models have been phenomenally popular and profitable while
Samsung has lost ground in key markets to
competitors ranging from Apple to Chinas
Xiaomi.
Samsung and Apple agreed last year to
settle all patent disputes still pending outside the United States. Some experts
believe the companies were awaiting the
outcome of appeals in two U. S. cases
before settling here.
Mondays ruling orders a trial court in
San Jose, California, to reconsider about
$382 million in damages that jurors previously awarded for the trade dress claims,
which involved six models of Samsung
phones. Santa Clara University law professor Brian Love said Apple could still argue
its entitled to those damages, however,
since the same models were also found to
have infringed on patents.

DETROIT The U.S. governments

highway safety agency says it will
hold a rare public hearing in July to
determine if Fiat Chrysler failed to
notify customers and fix safety problems in 20 recalls covering more than
10 million vehicles.
Among the recalls is a contentious
one covering 1.56 million Jeeps with
gas tanks located behind the rear
axles. The biggest involves almost 3
million cars with air bag inflators
that can potentially rupture and injure
a cars occupants.

World Trade body rejects

The agency could order Fiat

Chrysler, formally known as FCA US
LLC, to buy back or replace vehicles
if it finds the company failed to fix
defects, according to a statement
issued Monday.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration said some consumers complained that they werent
notified of the recalls, while others
said dealers lacked repair parts and
didnt have service appointments
available.
To prevent crashes, injuries and
deaths, manufacturers need to fix
these defects, agency administrator
Mark Rosekind said on a conference
call.

Such public hearings occur rarely,

and a single hearing for one manufacturer on multiple recalls is unprecedented, said Allan Kam, a former
NHTSA enforcement attorney.
Fiat Chrysler, he said, likely was
not giving the agency satisfactory
answers in conversations before it set
the hearing date. He expects the company to settle the matter before the
hearing to avoid bad publicity.
NHTSA has been feuding with Fiat
Chrysler for more than two years over
the Jeep gas tank recall. The tanks
offer little protection in a rear-end
collision and are responsible for at
least 75 deaths nationwide, according
to agency documents.

Warriors-Rockets showdown goes beyond MVP talk

OAKLAND The MVP race was decided

weeks ago. Newly crowned Stephen Curry
and runner-up James Harden insist theres a

Now is their chance to compete for it.
Curry and the top-seeded Golden State
Warriors will meet Harden and the rejuvenated Houston Rockets in the Western
Conference finals beginning Tuesday night.
The Baby-Faced Assassin starring oppo-

scintillating subplot to a
series that should feature a

the ball is tossed amid a
sea of screaming fans in
golden-yellow shirts at
Oracle Arena, only one
Steph Curry thing will be on the
minds of the leading men.
Were four wins away from getting to the
Finals and one step closer to our dream,

Curry said. Theres one

team in our way to get
there. Thats it.
The Warriors went 4-0
against the Rockets in
the regular season, winning by an average of
15.3 points. But a lot

What a finish it was for the Mills girls at

the Peninsula Athletic League Track and
Field
Championships
Saturday
at
Westmoors Powell Stadium.
The Lady Vikings won their first PAL team
title since the leagues modern format began
in 1996. And it was on the slight shoulders
of sophomore Sarah Gayer that Mills steadied the remarkable finish.
Not only did Gayer claim gold in the days
penultimate event with a sharp tactical comeback in the 3,200-meters. Just minutes later,
she took the baton for the anchor leg of the
4x400 relay to maintain Mills third-place
finish in the event and clinch the PAL crown.
[Running the events back-to-back] is
very uncommon, Mills head coach Tim Tuff
said. I had a hard time asking her because
its a big challenge. But I know Sarah is
very diligent and very reliable. Shes a team
player. So, I felt confident going to Sarah.
And Im glad she was able to hold on.
Because Gayer rose to such an uncommon
challenge to help the Mills girls make history, she has been named the San Mateo
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
Through the first seven laps of the 3,200,
however, it didnt seem like she stood a
chance of being the first to cross the finish
line. Sequoia junior Sophie Walton jumped
out to a staggering lead. By the end of the
first mile in the veritable two-mile race,
Walton held a lead of over 40 meters.
I thought I was doing really well,
Walton said. I came in really fast on my
first mile.
Walton said the split time of her first mile
was 5 minutes, 45 seconds, just 10 seconds
slower than her personal record in the 1,600.
And the junior maintained a sizeable lead
over Gayer heading into the final two laps.
Then the Mills sophomore made her
move. Gayer already seemed to have a spotlight on her due to her unorthodox running
style. Unlike the other six competitors in

A primer for
CCS playoffs
T
he Central Coast Section baseball and softball playoff brackets
were announced over the weekend
and there werent a lot of surprises.
Most of the usual suspects from the PAL
made it into the postseason brackets. In
baseball, the Peninsula Athletic Leagues
Bay Division had six of eight teams qualify. All told, half of the 18 teams that comprise the PAL made the postseason.
In softball, Carlmont and Hillsdale
were top-3 seeds in
Division I and
Division II, respectively, while Mills
earned the highestever seed for an
Ocean Division
champ. The
Vikings are No. 5
in the Division III
bracket.
Here are some
interesting tidbits
about some of the
teams that did or in one instance did
not qualify for the postseason.

Baseball
Carlmont
The Scots have qualied for the
Open/Division I tournament for the
eighth straight year and, for the rst time
during that span, they will host a rstround playoff game when No. 13 Palo
Alto (19-12) comes to Belmont
Wednesday.
At 22-7, Carlmont garnered the No. 4
seed, the highest seed the Scots have had
in eight years.
Maybe that home-eld advantage will
be enough to push the Scots over the top.
They are 1-6 in their last seven CCS
appearances, last winning in 2011 when,
as the number 16 seed, the Scots stunned

49ers Justin Smith officially retires after 14 seasons

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers

star defensive lineman Justin Smith
announced his retirement on Monday in the
latest blow to the team this offseason.
Smiths decision had been expected for
much of the offseason but did not become
official until the team made the announcement that the 35-year-old defensive stalwart
would not be back.
As a football coach, you will always be
searching for the next Justin Smith, knowing full well you will never find a player
quite like him, 49ers head coach Jim

Tomsula
said.
Everybody
knows
about his toughness,
durability, and instincts,
but his greatest attribute
does not get the attention it deserves. Justin
never concerned himself
with personal accomhis
Justin Smith plishments,
unselfish nature made
that impossible. People like to say they
broke the mold with him but there was
never a mold. Justin Smith is a hand-crafted
football player.

Smith is the third defensive star to retire

from the 49ers this offseason, joining linebackers Patrick Willis and Chris Borland.
Coach Jim Harbaugh is also gone, along
with running back Frank Gore, guard Mike
Iupati, receiver Michael Crabtree and cornerback Chris Culliver.
Smith played 14 seasons in the NFL after
being drafted in the first round by
Cincinnati in 2001. After seven successful
seasons with the Bengals, he signed as a
free agent in San Francisco and had his best
success in seven years with the 49ers.
Smith was the anchor of San Franciscos
3-4 defense that made three straight trips to

the NFC title game from 2011-13 and one

Super Bowl appearance. He tied up blockers
and broke down protection to help the
teams stellar linebacker corps of Willis,
Navorro Bowman and Aldon Smith succeed.
While Smith never recorded double-digit
sacks in a season in his career, he was so
well-regarded that he was selected as an All
Pro first-team defensive tackle and secondteam defensive end in 2011. He was the first
player ever to make the APs first and second team at different positions.
Justin is the consummate professional

As bullpen buckles down to snap 4-game skid

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON The As finally got the performance they have needed out of their
bullpen and did something they have struggled at this season win a one-run game.
Brett Lawrie hit a tiebreaking RBI single
in the sixth, and the Oakland bullpen combined for 4 2/3 scoreless innings as the
Athletics snapped a four-game losing streak
with a 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros
on Monday night.
The loss snapped Houstons five-game
winning streak.
Oakland is 2-13 in one-run games.
We need a few of them, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said of the one-run win. Its
not going to exorcise all the demons but it
certainly gives a night where we can sleep
better.
Lawries hit came off Will Harris who came
on in relief of Joe Thatcher (0-1), who gave
up an infield single and two walks to load the
heading into the final lap, it seemed a battle
of whose flawed form would give way first.
Gayer had made modest gains heading into
the final turn, but she hit the final straightaway like a slingshot and turned the final
100 meters into an all-out sprint.
I didnt think I could do it [on the first
straightaway], but then I thought I could get
her on the last 100, Gayer said.
Fifty yards down the straightaway, Gayer
was up Waltons back and took the inside
lane. It was there her short, exact steps
accelerated. Walton, who said she does not
like to sprint, was at a supreme disadvantage. And Gayer capitalized.
Gayer flew past to finish the race in
11:38.39. Walton staggered in at 11:40.40
to take second.
I think I kept it a constant pace through all
eight laps, Gayer said. So, that was good.

bases with no outs.

Edward Mujica (2-1)
went 1 2/3 innings for the
win, Evan Scribner threw
two innings and Tyler
Clippard pitched the
ninth for his fourth save.
The Athletics bullpen
entered the game 2-12
Edward Mujica with a 4.78 ERA this season and had converted
just four of 12 save opportunities.
Harris escaped further damage in the
sixth, getting Sam Fuld to ground back to
the pitcher for a force at home and then Eric
Sogard to hit into a double play.
Oakland starter Drew Pomeranz left the
game in the fifth inning with left shoulder
tightness. After throwing a pitch and then
backing off the mound, Melvin went out to
the mound with the trainer, and Pomeranz
was taken out. He went 4 1/3 innings, giving up one run and two hits with five walks

and two strikeouts.

My AC joint got a little flared up after
that long inning, Pomeranz said. It just
didnt go away. It just kept bothering me
during the start. I guess when (Melvin) came
out, he saw it was bothering me. He took me
out before it got worse.
Evan Gattis sacrifice fly scored Jose
Altuve to give Houston a 1-0 lead in the
first, but Sogards RBI single in the second
tied it.
George Springer sent a deep drive to center in the eighth, but Fuld made a catch running up Tals Hill.
Lance McCullers of the Astros allowed
one run and three hits with five strikeouts
but walked three in 4 2/3 innings in his first
career start.
I felt relaxed and in a pretty good state of
mind, McCullers said. I was just focusing
more on being happy and relaxed and understanding that less is more in those early
innings.

With Gayers victory, Mills shot into

first place in the team standings with 104
points, neck-and-neck with MenloAthertons 101 points. The defending twotime champion Bears boast a formidable
relay team that ultimately topped Mills in
the 4x400 relay finale.

MLB brief

But Mills got help from the Burlingame

relay team as the Panthers overtook M-A on
the third leg of the 4x400. Burlingame held
on to take gold with M-A placing second.
With the Mills quartet of Gayer, Naomi
Yung, Ty Harames and Ava Daniel holding
off Sequoia to take third, the Vikings
clinched the PAL title.
And it was Gayer, as the anchor leg, who
ran into the arms of her teammates at the
finish line to celebrate Mills first modern
title.

closed out the Clippers in Game 7 on Sunday.

Whether the Rockets are recovered from
that emotional series is unclear. The tight
turnaround and long-distance flight
surely dont work in their favor.
But after fighting back to get this far, this
much is clear: the Rockets dont lack for
confidence.
Were going to put the pressure on
them, Harden said. Its the playoffs, anything can happen.

Two-way Thompson

Three ball
The Warriors and Rockets made more 3pointers than any team in the NBA during
the regular season, and they havent slowed
down in the playoffs. Theyre averaging
nearly 30 attempts per game, with the
Warriors shooting a postseason-high 40
percent and the Rockets just under 35 percent from beyond the arc. Which team
shoots it best from long range and can
stop the other will be a major factor in
this series.

Klay Thompson is often touted as the

leagues best two-way shooting guard, a
player who can score at will and dominate
on defense. The Warriors will lean on
Thompson to harass Harden, who averaged
25.3 points, 5.3 assists and 5.5 rebounds
while shooting 40 percent against Golden
State in the regular season. Harden also had
a hard time stopping Thompson, who averaged 21.8 points against Houston.

Hack-a-Howard
Dont expect Golden State to intentionally
foul Howard the way the Clippers and
Mavericks have in the first two series.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr believes the strategy disrupts his teams flow and fast pace. But
with Howard shooting 41.3 percent on free
throws in the playoffs, Kerr could employ the
approach in certain situations. Of course,
Rockets coach Kevin McHale could return the
favor. Warriors center Andrew Bogut shot

52.4 percent from the line in the regular season and is just 1 for 4 in the playoffs.

The other guys

Both teams have counted on their depth to
get this far. The Warriors bring former AllStars Andre Iguodala and David Lee and veterans Shaun Livingston and Leandro
Barbosa off the bench. Forward Marreese
Speights is out for Game 1 with a strained
right calf but could return later in the series.
The Rockets played half the season without
Howard and have gotten big performances
in the playoffs from reserves Corey Brewer,
Pablo Prigioni and Terrence Jones.

Home-court advantage
If the Rockets want to advance to the NBA
Finals, theyll need to win at least one game
and probably two on Golden States
home floor. Thats been the toughest task in
the league this season. The Warriors are 433 at raucous Oracle Arena, including a Game
2 loss in their last series against Memphis.

Lady Bulldogs home after heartbreaking finish

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The bus ride back from

Bakersfield was a long one for the
Lady Bulldogs.
Entering into the California
Community College Athletic
Association softball state championship tournament, College of San
Mateo was riding high with an
unbeaten 40-0 record.
The goal was to run the table in
the state tourney to maintain the
undefeated mark was the goal. It
was a realistic goal in the Bulldogs
minds, according to third baseman
Harlee Donovan.
Once you get that far, of course
thats a goal we set, Donovan
said. We thought we were perfectly
capable of going 44-0
But then the Bulldogs ran into
Southern California powerhouse
Palomar, the team that ultimately
claimed destiny with its fifth alltime state title.
The Bulldogs took Palomar to
the limit in the double-elimination
tournament. After falling to the
losers bracket with a 5-1 loss to
Palomar Saturday, CSM eliminated
Cypress with a 4-2 win Saturday
night. Then the Bulldogs needing to defeat Palomar twice won
Sundays championship opener 2-1
before falling in the nightcap 5-1.
Immediately following the
postgame awards ceremony, CSM
boarded the team bus directly from
the field for a nonstop ride back to
the Bay Area that touched down in
San Mateo at 10:30 p.m.
It was rough, Donovan said.
We didnt sleep, thats for sure. I
think a lot of us had a lot to think
about. And it was definitely a heartbreaking moment. Its really hard
to see something slip that youve

been looking
forward to all
year.
CSM had reason to be optimistic. As a
team,
the
Bulldogs won
the state triple
crown, leading
Harlee
all California
Donovan
junior colleges
with a .419 team batting average,
66 home runs and 409 RBIs.
But Palomar freshman pitcher
Summer Evans proved up to the
challenge, holding the Bulldogs
to four runs over two games. The
right-hander didnt bring the overpowering dominance CSM starting pitcher Lauren Berriatua is
capable of. While Berriatua ranked
fifth in the state with 191 strikeouts this season, Evans never
recorded double-digit strikeouts in
a single game.
Evans was dominant nonetheless.
I think shes a good pitcher,
Donovan said. She hit her spots
and she got the job done for her
team. She did an awesome job. I
think we struggled. Im not sure
[why], but we didnt get it done
when we needed to.
Thats high praise coming from
Donovan, who won two legs of the
state triple crown this season. The
Half Moon Bay alum paced all
California junior college hitters
with 20 home runs and 78 RBIs. The
freshman also ranked sixth in the
state with a .540 batting average.
Through the state tournament,
Donovan remained productive at
the plate, hitting safely in each of
the five games to go 6 for 13,
including hitting her 20th home run
of the year in Fridays 4-3 win over

Cypress in the tourney opener.

In Saturdays initial loss to
Palomar 5-1, Evans effectively
pitched around Donovan, walking
CSMs cleanup hitter twice. The
strategy paid off as Evans allowed
just six hits en route to handing
CSM its first loss of the season.
Donovan said the loss did not
detour the Bulldogs from their
sense of destiny.
I think we were hungry,
Donovan said. We were not going
to let one loss ruin our season. We
were not going to come out on that
field flat and we were going to get
into that championship game just
like we deserved. We werent going
to play any less than [were capable] just because we let ourselves
have a bad game.
Come Sundays championship
showdown with Palomar, CSM
grinded out a gritty win in the
opener. The Bulldogs trailed 1-0
most of the game after the Comets
scored a first-inning run against
Berriatua.
The only hit Palomar recorded in
the game was in that first inning
though. And the Bulldogs bats
finally got to Evans in the bottom
of the sixth when Lelani Akai
smoked a two-run double to give
CSM a decisive 2-1 lead to force a
winner-take-all finale.
Facing their fifth game in three
days, however, Donovan said
fatigue was starting to play a factor
for the Bulldogs.
We knew it was going to be
hard, Donovan said. We knew we
were all tired. Basically before the
game, we just thought about it in
the sense that we have seven more
innings to do something that were
going to remember for the rest of
our lives.
The finale was deadlocked at 1-1

going into the fifth inning, and

Berriatua was in control in the circle. The sophomore right-hander
set down 11 Palomar batters in a
row heading into the fifth. But
everything
changed
after
Stephanie Koishor led off the fifth
with a single for the Comets.
The Bulldogs defense didnt go
down without a fight. Palomars
Kristina Carbajal followed with a
bunt to try to move Koishor into
scoring position, but Donovan
took a verbal cue from the catcher
Akai and gunned down the lead runner with a tremendous play.
On the ensuing play, however,
Palomar attempted another bunt.
Leah Gordon pushed the sacrifice
attempt to Donovan, but the third
baseman had to take a chance by
throwing to an unoccupied firstbase bag in hopes second baseman
Christy Peterson would get there in
time to get the out. Instead, the
throw sailed down the right-field
line to put Palomar runners at second and third with one out.
I had every intention of throwing the ball, Donovan said. I
think I rushed myself a little bit and
the throw got away.
Both Palomar base runners
scored in the inning. The Comets
added single runs in the sixth and
seventh. In the bottom of the seventh, the Bulldogs were retired in
order, ending their dream season
one victory shy of destiny.
After some thought it was
still in our minds, Donovan said.
Its going to take a long time. But
I think the freshmen that are returning are looking to redeem ourselves next year.
CSM finished the year with a 432 overall record, including its first
two wins ever in the state championship tournament.

Doctor group seeks to clear cancer screening confusion

By Lauran Neergaard

every year; a colonoscopy every 10 years; a

sigmoidoscopy, which views the lower
colon, every five years; or a combination of
a stool test every three years and a sigmoidoscopy every five years.
The ACP said 60 percent of adults have
colonoscopies more frequently than needed,
adding no medical value but lots of cost.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Mammograms at 40 or
50? Every year or every other year? Whats
the best colon check?
Screening for cancer has gotten more
complicated in recent years with evolving
guidelines that sometimes conflict. Now a
doctors group aims to ease some confusion
and encourage more discussion of testings pros and cons with what it calls
advice on high-value screening for five
types of tumors.
Too often, even the doctors who order
those tests arent sure of the latest recommendations, said Dr. Wayne J. Riley, president of the American College of Physicians,
which published the advice Monday in the
journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
We want to make sure that folks get the
right test at the right time for the right conditions, Riley said. We also want our
physician colleagues to try to avoid the customary, knee-jerk reaction to just test without having some sort of dialogue about the
right choice for each patient.
So the ACP, internal medicine specialists,
reviewed leading cancer screening guidelines to find the least intensive testing
strategies with the broadest expert consensus.
Dr. Richard Wender of the American
Cancer Society said even though it disagrees on some specifics, emphasizing
areas of agreement is valuable, a starting
point for those doctor-patient conversations.
Cancer screening is a balance to ensure
the people who will benefit most get
checked while not over-testing. After all,
there are potential harms including false
alarms that spark unneeded extra testing,
and sometimes detection of tumors too
small and slow-growing to be life-threatening.
On the other hand, the Centers for Disease

CERVICAL CANCER
Screening choices vary by age. The ACP
found widespread support for a Pap test
every three years starting at age 21.
Starting at age 30, women may choose a
combination of Pap and a test for the HPV
virus that causes cervical cancer, a combination that lets them go five years between
tests.
Theres little value in continuing to test
women older than 65 if they were properly
screened and had no problems; and HPV
tests arent recommended before age 30
because HPV is so common in younger
women.

Cancer screening is a balance to ensure the people who will benefit most get checked
while not over-testing. After all, there are potential harms including false alarms that spark
unneeded extra testing, and sometimes detection of tumors too small and slow-growing
to be life-threatening.
Control and Prevention reported this month
that too few people who clearly should be
getting screened for certain cancers are. For
example, 58 percent of people ages 50 to 75
had been recently checked for colorectal cancer; the government goal is 70.5 percent.
The American College of Physicians
advice:

BREAST CANCER
The American Cancer Society has long
recommended annual mammograms starti n g at ag e 4 0 . Th e U. S. Prev en t i v e
Services Task Force, which advises the
government, says to get mammograms
every other year from age 50 to 74, and
says starting at age 40 brings little benefit but should be a personal choice if

women are told the pros and cons.

The ACP sided with the more conservative
approach, saying even experts who prefer
mammograms at 40 agree that women
should be fully informed of the pros and
cons to help them decide for themselves.
Routine screening isnt for 30-somethings, and more expensive MRI scans
arent for screening average-risk women,
yet the ACP said doctors sometimes order
both.

COLORECTAL CANCER
Colonoscopies, which allow doctors to
see precancerous growths in the colon, get
the most attention. But the ACP advised
people ages 50 to 74 to choose from equally good screening choices: a stool test

PROSTATE CANCER
PSA blood tests are highly controversial,
with some groups recommending against
them and others saying men should get
them only after a discussion of the pros and
cons. The ACPs advice: Doctors should tell
men ages 50 to 69 about the pros and cons,
and order the test for those who then request
it.
A third of men having PSA testing dont
recall even being told the test was ordered,
the ACP said.

OVARIAN CANCER
The new review found leading medical
groups all recommend against blood tests
and pelvic or ultrasound exams to screen for
ovarian cancer in average-risk women.
While this cancer often has spread by the
time its discovered, there is no proven
screening test for it.

LION
Continued from page 1
out the day before officials were finally able
to contain and tranquilize it in a residents
backyard on the 900 block of Palm Avenue,
immediately south of Central Park.
San Mateo police were first on scene and
they were terrific, they handled it very
well, said Andre Hughan, a spokesman
with the California Department of Fish and
Wildlife. It is very unusual to see a lion
this far in town.
The cat appeared in good health and was
taken to the area around Crystal Springs
Reservoir where Fish and Wildlife officials
would wait for it to wake up and release it,
Hughan said.
Hughan said the department opted to
forgo future tracking by tagging the animal, which could gain another 40 pounds if
it lives into adulthood, due to the unique circumstances.
It was a public safety issue, at this point
obviously in downtown San Mateo, we had
to act quickly, Hughan said.
The scared lion was cornered into a tree
before a game warden hit it with a tranquilizer gun. After missing the first shot, the
lion was hit in the flank with the second
and leapt out of the tree sending police and
wildlife officials running toward Ninth
Avenue.
The officers waited with guns drawn just a
few houses down from El Camino Real
before the tranquilizer took full effect and
the lion was safely captured.
Its not like in the movies, Hughan
said, it takes a while for the tranquilizer to
kick in. Then what you have is an angry
mountain lion thats scared with teeth and
claws.
No one was injured during the hunt, but a
scared resident was taken into police custody after reportedly firing a handgun during the more than five-hour ordeal.
A single shot rang out just before 6 p.m.
and San Mateo police Sgt. Al Baccei said a
resident came within close proximity of the
lion and fired a warning shot into the
ground.
The man was taken into custody and
questioned at the station. He was not
arrested Monday but a report will be sent

review, Baccei said.
Hughan said he didnt necessarily believe
the drought was a factor in the lions behavior.
Its looking for food. It probably got
pushed out of its range by a dominant
male, Hughan said, adding it would be
released in the hills where theres plenty of
deer for it to feed on.
It was a positive ending as the lion was
captured uninjured and a challenging situation to keep it calm as numerous news helicopters circled the area, Hughan said.
Its likely the cat was hiding in the neighborhood since the early morning, he added.
The cat was first spotted around 4:30 a.m.
near the corner of Avila Road and South El
Camino Real. San Mateo police arrived on
scene and an officer saw the medium-sized
mountain lion walking toward the rear of 33
Hayward Ave. The animal wasnt acting
aggressive and units were unable to locate it
at the time, according to police.
About 1:20 p.m., the second report came
in from a resident who saw it walking away
from the rear of 33 Hayward Ave. toward
Ninth Avenue, according to police.
Fish and Wildlife personnel arrived on
scene around 2:30 p.m. and the lion was
again spotted around 4:30 p.m., according
to police.
After sectioning off the block by closing
Hayward Avenue, Palm Avenue, Ninth
Avenue and the eastern sidewalk of El
Camino, the animal was finally contained
at 912 Palm Ave.
Inside the home was a nanny and child
that were instructed to wait indoors as the
father, a resident who preferred to not give
his name, was forced to wait on the corner
of Ninth and Palm avenues.
Dozens of residents and citizens lined up
against the caution tape awaiting word of
the cats fate. When officials announced it
was safely caught, the crowd started
applauding.
Im just so glad they didnt kill it! a
neighbor said.

Battle over Florida boys

circumcision enters federal court
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. A judge
expressed skepticism Monday that a longrunning court battle over a Florida boys
circumcision amounted to a constitutional
issue worthy of being argued in federal court
after being exhaustively litigated in state
courts.
In the first hearing on the issue in federal
court, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra
questioned the attorney for the boys mother, Heather Hironimus, over the legality of
proceeding with the case when a state judge
had already ruled.
Arent you really asking me to revisit
and second-guess? Marra said near the start
of the 80-minute hearing in West Palm
Beach.
Already a legal oddity for its subject mat-

oriented housing through construction of
mixed-use residential projects.
The Cypress property was purchased with
redevelopment funds in 2010, but the city is
required to determine a use for the site in the
wake of the state-mandated redevelopment
agency dissolution.
Commissioners will provide initial feedback to the proposal to build 46 residential
units, spread across five stories, above
6,000 square feet of commercial retail space
fronting Grand and Cypress avenues.
The upper four stories of the building will
consist of 22 two-bedroom apartments, 21
one-bedroom apartments and three studios.
According to a city report, 20 percent of
the development, or nine units, will be
reserved as affordable housing options.
The development offers 59 parking spaces
through use of mechanical lifts, which are
intended to offer the most efficient use of
the limited square footage available for cars
in the facility.
Officials though are hopeful that since the
proposed site of the development is near
downtown, as well as close to where the
relocated Caltrain station is slated to be
built, accessibility to public transportation
will cut down on the demand for parking,
according to the report.

Health brief
ter, the long-running case between the
boys estranged parents over the fate of his
genitals got an extra dose of drama when
Hironimus fled with the child nearly three
months ago, going into hiding at a domestic violence shelter while a state judge
warned she risked imprisonment for defying
orders and refusing to appear in court. She
was arrested Thursday and remains jailed.
Though Marra made no ruling in the case,
he was often incredulous as Hironimus
attorney, Thomas Hunker, contended the
case could continue in federal court because
it was filed on behalf of the boy, whereas
the state case was simply between the parents. Hunker said the childs interests were
not fully and fairly represented in state court
and that the boy had the right to make his
own wishes known.
i s i n t en ded t o i n creas e i t s acces s i b i l i t y.
Officials are also hoping to capitalize on
the increased presence of the Caltrain station downtown by building 38 new apartments in the building proposed at the corner
of Linden and Lux avenues.
The five-story building offers four studios, 18 one-bedroom apartments, 11 twobedroom apartments and five three-bedroom
apartments, and a ground floor that would
house amenities such as a lounge, fitness
room and bicycle storage.
The proposal is the most recent iteration
of a housing project approved by the city in
2012, which aimed at constructing 32 workforce housing units as part of the Terrabay
Development, but ground to a halt due to a
lack of resources, according to the city
report.
Brookwood Equities, which has been
selected by the city to develop both the
Cypress and Linden projects, has agreed to
preserve 20 percent of the units in the
Linden project at an affordable rate as well.
Should the Planning Commission grant
approval to the projects, they would go
onto the City Council for final approval at a
yet to be determined date.
In January, the council passed a plan
which laid the groundwork for adding roughly 1,400 housing units within a half a mile
of the Caltrain station on and around Grand
Avenue.
Following that vision, officials are
attempting to take advantage of the recent
momentum established by other large-scale
residential developments expected to be
built near public transportation.
Sares Regis Group intends to build more
than 250 rooms on 2.2 acres of purchased
land at Airport Boulevard near the Caltrain
station, and the council approved constructing a 35-unit project on Mission Road near
the BART station in February.

Obama health law tax

passed along to states
By Carla K. Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Poppy plants have been farmed for centuries for opium, from which morphine is derived.The
controlled substance is often used before and after surgeries to relieve severe pain.

Discovery opens door to homemade

morphine and similar painkillers
By Alicia Chang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Scientists have figured

out all the steps to make morphine and similar painkillers without using opium poppies, opening the door for home-brewed
drugs and even wider abuse.
While no one has yet reported making
morphine in the laboratory from scratch,
some experts are calling for regulations to
prevent garage tinkerers from making do-ityourself morphine, which can be converted
into heroin.
Society needs to think this through now
before it becomes a reality, said bioengineer John Dueber of the University of
California, Berkeley, who led a team that
discovered the final missing link of the
process.
Poppy plants have been farmed for centuries for opium, from which morphine is
derived. The controlled substance is often
used before and after surgeries to relieve
severe pain.
For the past decade, various groups of
researchers have hacked the DNA of yeast to
mimic poppies, in hopes of creating cheaper and less addictive pain relievers. So far,
the yeast strains created can only perform
the last steps of a long process that can lead
to morphine and other narcotic drugs.
A team led by researchers at UC Berkeley
discovered the missing piece the first
step in the process and published the
findings Monday in the journal Nature
Chemical Biology.
The genetically engineered yeast was able
to convert sugar to a chemical thats a precursor to morphine. While the researchers
stopped short of producing the drug in the
lab, their work lays the foundation for DIY
narcotics without the need to grow poppies.
Experts said its still extremely difficult
for people to make homemade morphine
because the process is inefficient. Even sci-

While there are risks

of not acting quickly
enough on modifying
regulations during early
technical development, there
are also risks of too hastily
solving the wrong problems.
Megan Palmer of the Center
for International Security and Cooperation
at Stanford University said in a statement

entists are years away from lab-made morphine thats strong enough to treat pain.
With technology advancing, some point
out that there could come a time when brewing morphine may be as simple as brewing
beer.
In a commentary published in the journal
Nature, a group of researchers from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
University of Alberta in Canada called for
restricting genetically modified yeast
strains to licensed facilities so that they
wont fall into the wrong hands. They also
want current laws to be extended to make
such yeast strains illegal to distribute.
Now is the time to act because you dont
want to be doing it afterward. You cant do it
afterward, Kenneth Oye, lead author of the
commentary and director of the MIT
Program on Emerging Technologies, said in
a telephone interview.
Others said more discussion is needed to
determine what regulatory controls should
be in place.
While there are risks of not acting quickly enough on modifying regulations during
early technical development, there are also
risks of too hastily solving the wrong problems, Megan Palmer of the Center for

Theres more than a touch of absurdity in

the way an industry fee in President Barack
Obamas health care law is being passed
along to state taxpayers.
As Alice in Wonderland might say, a curious tax just got curiouser. The burden to
states could mount to $13 billion in less
than a decade.
The Health Insurance Providers Fee was
aimed at insurance companies. The thinking
went: Because insurers would gain a windfall
of customers, they ought to help pay for the
expansion of coverage. Insurers say they
have raised prices for individuals and small
businesses to cover the new tax.
As it turns out, they are raising their prices
to state Medicaid programs, too.
The federal government issued guidance in
October requiring states to build the tax into
what they pay for-profit Medicaid health
plans that serve low-income people. The
first years tax was due to the IRS in
September, and state governments are now
settling up with insurance companies.
It works like this: State governments pay
insurers for the tax. The insurers then pay
the tax to the federal government. The federal government then reimburses part of the
cost to the states.
It may sound absurd, but its not amusing
to state governments, which wind up losing
54 cents for every dollar of the insurance
tax. State taxpayers end up the biggest losers, without any added benefit to their states
low-income Medicaid patients.
Its like a merry-go-round with an extra
loop in the middle, said Rebecca Owen of
the Society of Actuaries.
The extra loop? The health law tax is not
deductible for the insurance companies when
they file their corporate income taxes, and
state governments must kick in extra to
cover that cost, too.
If theyre following the standard of practice, theres no wiggle room for states to
shift the burden back onto the companies,
Owen said.
Its particularly troubling because more
states are turning to private sector Medicaid

managed care to keep health care costs down.

An estimated 70 percent of Medicaid
patients are covered by these types of plans.
Insurers such as Anthem, UnitedHealth and
Centene manage the care of millions of lowincome people in taxpayer-funded programs.
The fee on health insurance companies was
one of several new taxes Congress used to
pay for the health care law.
They had a naive notion we were going to
get something from insurers who were
gaining many new customers from the
health law, said economist Douglas HoltzEakin, president of the American Action
Forum, a center-right public policy institute. It defied any notion of good tax policy.
Most nonprofit insurers are exempt, but
theres no exemption for profit-making
Medicaid managed care companies that collect payments from state governments with
the promise of providing better care at lower
costs.
The states with the most managed care will
be hurt the most. Florida will pay up to $1.2
billion over 10 years, according to a 2014
report by the actuarial firm Milliman. The
same for Pennsylvania. Texas will pay up to
$1 billion and Tennessee as much as $884
million. For California, the decades total
will be up to $798 million and for Georgia,
$647 million.
The Milliman report estimates Illinois
will pay $394 million to cover the tax
through 2023. Illinois is starting to make
higher payments to cover the tax, even as
Gov. Bruce Rauner has proposed making
$1.5 billion in cuts to Medicaid providers
such as hospitals for the upcoming budget
year.
While the quirk in the law has been known
to insurers and actuaries, the impact is just
starting for states. A standard-setting board
for actuaries just published a memo that
clears up any remaining doubt that state governments must pay higher rates to cover the
tax.
The health insurance industry wants the
tax repealed, arguing that it increases prices
to consumers. But largely unrecognized is
the surprising effect of the tax on Medicaid
and state governments.

a scenic trail, people use it to get to
work and students use it to get to
school.
The council was spurred to act when
the community became outraged at
State Parks prediction that it could
take up to two years to replace the
bridge and cost nearly $2 million. The
city took a stance by offering
$100,000 toward the repair along with
the political support of state Sen.
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, Fraser said.
At one point, officials seemed hard
pressed to find the funds to make
repairs and State Parks was pleased to
announce the Legislature awarded $1.8
million toward the project in January.
Yet while officials are pleased to
announce replacing the bridge will
cost nearly $800,000 less than originally anticipated, the rough winds and
salty ocean air is forcing the city to
consider other infrastructure as well.
We did a survey of our bridge system, especially along the Coastal Trail
or near Highway 1, and some of the
bridges are getting to a point where
they need some major maintenance or
there needs to be a plan to improve or

Fixing the Pilarcitos Bridge just north of downtown Half Moon Bay, may be repaired
for significantly less than the city and state expected.
replace certain bridges, Community
Development Director Dante Hall said.
The reason is because of our climate.
Our climate is very harsh on some of
our city infrastructure. So there comes
a point where agencies, city government, State Parks and others, need to
really look at the infrastructure and try
to be a little bit proactive.
The Seymour Pedestrian Bridge will
also need to be replaced as erosion of
the bluff tops is compromising the
nearly 17-year-old crossing just south
of Poplar State Beach.
The council voted last month to proceed with removing the current bridge
and constructing a new one further
inland, an estimated fix that would
cost at least $250,000. City staff is
also continuing to consider erosion
control methods, such as planting
vegetation, particularly as last
Decembers storm extended the gully 5
feet closer to the bridges substructure,
according to a staff report.
Moving the bridge will likely throw
off the alignment of the recently completed gravel composite extension of
the coastal trail that runs about a third
of a mile south.
Fraser also noted a smaller structure
known as the Sweetwater Bridge just
north of Pilarcitos will likely need
repair in the near future as well.
As for the other bridges, we have to
keep a better eye on them now that
they are starting to degrade. And we
just need to be putting money in the
budget to look forward to that and in

the future, make that part of our overall

preventative maintenance of our infrastructure. We probably didnt pay that
much attention, not before now. But it
has to be a big part of what we do annually, like with sewers and roads,
Fraser said.
The Pilarcitos Bridge was a unique
situation in that the city had to work
closely with the state to secure funding, enter into a cooperative agreement and approve contracts. The
Coastal Conservancy also stepped up
by committing $200,000 toward the
project.
Fraser said shes thrilled that the
hard work to plan for the repair of the
bridge is paying off as these types of
structures are an integral part of maintaining the quality of life in Half Moon
Bay.
We happen to have a lot of bridges
and we have to have them to enable
people to be able to be closer to the
beach and trails. Its become part of
our lifestyle where you just have this
wonderful view and a healthy walk and
its also become a transportation network for some people too, Fraser
said. I think the situation with the
state was very unique and it was the fact
that if that was going to be out for a
couple of years, that was just not
acceptable and we did what we needed
to do as a city to get that open.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If asked to provide
help for someone who was once close to you, you
should do so with care. Be compassionate, but dont
try to revive the previous intimacy you once shared.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be realistic. You will
burn out if you dont slow down and take care of your
health. Make time for personal needs instead of just
doing things for everyone else.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Dont allow anyone
to push you around. If your motivations are clear,
there will be no reason to accept criticism or
debate from others. A minor health issue will

weaken, a good relationship. Youll face criticism if
you dont keep your end of the bargain.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Share your
ideas. A respected acquaintance will provide the
key to a home-based business venture. A sound
financial investment will pay off if you are willing
to work hard.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Prepare to jump
at a romantic opportunity. The time is right for love.
Limit large social gatherings, and spend some oneon-one time with the person who intrigues you most.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Your dwindling
bank account will require you to make some dif cult
choices. Durability and versatility will allow you

to rise above unanticipated workplace changes.

Diversify and prosper.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Someone will try to
exploit your generosity. Be helpful and sympathetic,
but keep your cash in a safe place. Trying to bankroll
someone elses venture will be a costly mistake.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Make sure all of your
bases are covered before you sign up for a joint
venture or make a commitment. Something that
sounds too good to be true will be a disappointment.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Donald Allen Banks
Case Number: 125704
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Donald Allen Banks. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Steven James Banks in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Steven James Banks be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: June 24, 2015 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
