Rapes alleged at Genentech

Six female janitors sue maintenance company for hostile work environment, DA reviewing criminal charges
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

During the day, Genentechs bustling

South San Francisco corporate campus
hosts thousands of people working to create innovative technologies. But for a
group of female janitors working graveyard
shifts, the massive office complex was a
place where they were allegedly assaulted
and raped, according to two civil lawsuits

filed in San Mateo County Superior Court.

Six women have come forward claiming
to have been sexually harassed by their
male superiors, discriminated against and
their complaints ignored while working for
a contractor hired to clean up the massive
corporate office complex. Collectively,
their stories span the course of five years
during which their employers failed to protect them, according to the lawsuits.
They are women who trauma experts say

are often overlooked as they work late hours

cleaning up after others and whose stories
may be difficult to corroborate an issue
that led prosecutors to initially decline
criminal charges against at least one man
accused of rape, assault and sodomy by multiple women.
The lawsuits are against Somers Building
Maintenance, or SBM, a company
Genentech began contracting with for janitorial services in 2011, according to the

complaints filed by two different firms in

October and December. SBM adamantly
denies the allegations.
The local biotech company is not listed
as a defendant and reportedly settled with at
least some of the women prior to the civil
case, said Liberation Law Group attorney
Arlo Garcia.

The vision of a San Mateo company

to build the computer science capabilities among young learners across the
globe was inspired by a fathers desire
to prepare his children for a future

Vikas Gupta came up with the idea

strong stand in promoting a safe and inclusive community.
Faced with residents who fear their families, neighbors or
co-workers could be at greater risk of deportation or subject
to racism, the city is looking at options to help.
The council met Tuesday to approve an open letter to the
community announcing the city will have zero tolerance for
prejudice and denouncing hateful acts within Half Moon
Bay.
Furthermore, the city will host a public workshop in
January to connect attendees to social service providers and
legal resources as a starting point, said Mayor Debbie
Ruddock. The city is also in the process of organizing a

SACRAMENTO In a one-page notice issued

Wednesday, the state Office of Administrative Law rejected a
new proposal from California officials to execute death row
inmates using one of four different drugs or the gas chamber.
The office notified the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation in the notice that its proposed regulations
do not meet the standards set out in government code and
procedural requirements, but the notice does not spell out
the reasons for the agencys conclusion. Instead, it said the
agency will give the department a written explanation within seven calendar days, and officials will have 120 days to
remedy the issues and resubmit the proposal.
California has 750 condemned inmates on the nations
largest death row. However, the state hasnt executed anyone since 2006.
Corrections officials submitted the plan in November in
response to court pressure and amid a nationwide shortage
of execution drugs. The plan would let corrections officials
choose between four powerful barbiturates amobarbital,
pentobarbital, secobarbital or thiopental for each execution, depending on which one is available. Inmates also
could continue to choose the gas chamber for their execution.

A Winter Spare the Air Alert has been
issued for Thursday in the Bay Area,
meaning a wood-burning ban is in

The alert means that for 24 hours, its
illegal to burn wood, manufactured fire
logs or other solid fuel, indoors or outdoors, according to the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District.
An exception is made for residents
whose sole source of heat is a woodburning device, but that device must be
Environmental Protection Agency-certified or a pellet-fueled device registered with the air district.
Exceptions are no longer made for
open-hearth devices, according to the
air district.
Residents and business owners during the winter season must check to see

whether a Spare the Air Alert has been

Dont cut the umbilical cord too

fast; pause may benefit newborns
By Lauran Neergaard

sions, anemia and bleeding in the brain. In

response, ACOG recommended a pause for
them.
Now ACOG cites research showing fullterm babies benefit, too, with a lower risk
of even mild iron deficiency that can delay
cognitive development. One study showed
waiting 3 minutes to cut the cord led to
slightly better early brain development.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Dont cut that umbilical

cord too soon: A brief pause after birth could
benefit most newborns by delivering them
a surge of oxygen-rich blood.
New recommendations for U.S. obstetricians, the latest in a debate over how quick
to snip, suggest waiting at least 30 seconds to 60 seconds after birth, for all
healthy newborns.
Thats double what often happens now.
Its common in the U.S. for doctors to cut
the cord almost immediately, within 15 to
20 seconds of birth, unless the baby is premature.
Cutting the cord is a memorable moment
in the delivery room, and Wednesdays
advice from the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists wont
interfere if dads want to help.
An extra half minute may not seem like
much, but a lot of oxygen-rich blood reaches the baby through the umbilical cord
shortly after birth, said Dr. Maria Mascola
of ACOGs Committee on Obstetric
Practice.
It may flow for up to five minutes, she
said, but much of the placental blood transfers in that first minute and theres
increasing evidence that it has some health
benefits.
Here are some things to know:

TODAYS ADVICE
The World Health Organization says to
wait one minute; some other groups say its
OK to wait two minutes, or even five. ACOG
settled on at least 30 seconds to one
minute.
However long the pause, it shouldnt
interfere with mom holding her baby. NIHs
Raju recommends telling parents, While
the babys nice and warm on your skin,
well take our time and then clamp.

ARE THERE RISKS?

gency care.
amazing transition that happens as the
baby takes his or her first breath.
In the womb, the placenta acts as the
fetus lungs. But within seconds of birth,
the circulation changes and lungs once
filled with fluid inflate as the baby inhales
air. Cut access to lingering placental blood
in the cord too soon, and the baby misses
extra oxygen to supplement those early
breaths.
Before the 1960s, it wasnt uncommon to
wait five minutes or more to cut the cord.
Then, for unclear reasons, doctors began

DOES THE CORD REALLY

MATTER ONCE THE BABY BREATHES?
It can give a boost to what Dr. Tonse Raju
of the National Institutes of Health calls the

clamping and cutting almost immediately.

Unfortunately, the value of immediate
clamping has never been shown, said
Raju, a perinatology specialist at NIHs
National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development. He wasnt involved
with the new recommendation.

THE LATEST EVIDENCE

Studies began showing that babies born
prematurely benefit from longer access to
cord blood, with a lower risk of transfu-

An initial fear that delayed clamping

spurs maternal bleeding has proved
unfounded. But babies do need to be monitored for signs of jaundice, a risk for any
newborn but one that may be slightly
increased with delayed clamping.

WHAT ABOUT CORD BLOOD BANKING?

Some parents bank their childs umbilical
cord blood for possible future medical use.
Delayed cord cutting means theres less left
to store, and ACOG said families should be
counseled accordingly.

Democratic governors warn Congress on health care repeal

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar

Governors estimated that states could face

nearly $69 billion in costs for uncompensated care over the next 10 years if the
health law is repealed. States traditionally
shouldered a hefty share of such costs.

Wednesday warned top Republicans in
Congress that repealing the Obama health

The Democratic Governors Association

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Republicans plan to repeal Obamacare

early next year, then take up to several years
to replace it. During the interlude, party

Berlin truck attack prompts high

security in U.S. cities for holiday
By Tom Hays
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK In the wake of the

Berlin truck attack, police departments
around the U.S. are making a show of
force at places where crowds gather at
Christmastime.
In New York City, police dispatched
heavily-armed counterterrorism officers
to stand guard at crowded pop-up
Christmas markets in Union Square,
Bryant Park and Columbus Circle only
an hour after news broke Tuesday about
the carnage in Berlin, where a stolen
truck slammed into a crowd and killed 12
people.
The police department also has a program to encourage truck rental companies to report any suspicious interactions with people wanting to rent vehicles that might be used in an attack.
Mayor Bill de Blasio called the precautions a very sad reality.
In Chicago, police parked their vehicles diagonally at the corners of Daley
Plaza to block any vehicle access to a
Christmas market there. In San
Francisco, motorcycle and mounted
horse units were patrolling in high-traffic shopping areas.
Frieder Frotscher, who owns a stand
that sells German steins, has made the
trip to the Chicago market from
Sachsen, Germany, for the past 21
years. He said he never considered closing after what happened Monday.
I see all the increased security, he
said. If we dont come that means we
would have reached the decision that
they (terrorists) want.
In New York, a Columbus Circle vendor said he wasnt thinking about the
attack in Berlin.
If something happens like that it
could happen anywhere, said Armand
Altan, 40. We are open. There is no Xray cameras or security checking everybody. Someone could walk inside with
the vest or with the backpack, you dont
know. So if we think like this, we
shouldnt go outside from the home.
Big cities have been fortifying side-

walks since the Sept. 11 attacks,
installing bollards and concrete
planters designed to prevent vehicles
from driving into pedestrians or the side
of a building. Parts of Times Square and
a two-block stretch of Pennsylvania
Avenue in front of the White House have
been closed to traffic for years, partly as
a precaution against car bombs.
Other cities added new measures
against truck attacks after a man drove a
rented, refrigerated truck weighing
about 20 tons into a crowd in Nice,
France in July, killing 86 people.
Law enforcement in Los Angeles, for
example, has been placing rows of two
to three cars or other large equipment in
front of large event entrances, including
two massive parades this year in West
Hollywood, said Scott Edson, chief of
the special operations division of the
Los Angeles
County
Sheriffs
Department.
At the upcoming Rose Parade, a
nationally televised annual event that
attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators, Edson said law enforcement will be
using such methods to keep people safe.
In addition to barriers, police officers
will be posted a couple of blocks away
from the parade to keep an eye out for

any trucks that look out of place, he

said.
Nice was the final straw that made us
realize thats another piece of protection were going to have to put in place
at major events, Edson said, adding
that he thinks its only a matter of time
before someone carries out such an
attack in the U.S. It becomes successful
and the bad guys start thinking about it
and start looking at how they can do it.
A recent posting in an English-language Islamic State magazine called this
years Macys Thanksgiving Day parade
an excellent target for a truck attack.
That caused enough concern that police
used dozens of sand-filled dump trucks to
block streets along the parade route.
The NYPD program involving outreach to trucking companies was ramped
up after the Nice attack.
Since then, the NYPD has reached out
to about 140 rental companies and
seven truck driving schools in the city,
giving them the phone numbers of
detectives and encouraging them to use
them, said Lt. Lucas Miller, who runs
the Intelligence Division program.
The NYPD has received several calls
from truck rental operations since the
Berlin attack, Lucas said Wednesday.

North Carolina Republicans
stumbling over repeal of LGBT law
RALEIGH, N.C. After hours of delay Wednesday, wavering Republican legislators stumbled with pushing through
the repeal of a North Carolina law dictating which bathrooms transgender people must use in government buildings
and schools.
The addition of a six-month moratorium on cities passing
nondiscrimination ordinances for LGBT people like the
one in Charlotte that led to House Bill 2 caused
Democrats to back away from the bill, calling it only a partial repeal. HB2 has been blasted by gay-rights groups and
resulted in job losses and sporting event cancellations.
At the same time, House Republicans remained divided
over supporting any repeal legislation, putting the ultimate
result of the special session called by Gov. Pat McCrory in
doubt.
Democrats said the measure broke an agreement with
Charlotte leaders who repealed its ordinance telling city
restaurants and hotels to let transgender people use the bathroom aligned with their gender identity.
This wasnt the deal, said Sen. Jeff Jackson, a Charlotte
Democrat. This bill breaks this deal. Charlotte would have
not repealed its ordinance is this was the deal.

Epidemic: DEA chemists

race to identify synthetic opioids
WASHINGTON Emily Dye walked down the echoing
white hallway and into a dim room known as the vault. The
evidence was wrapped in plastic. She checked it out and
placed it into a steel lockbox.
New drugs were appearing every other week in the Drug
Enforcement Administrations Special Testing and Research
Laboratory, an unmarked gray building in northern Virginia.
Dye, a 27-year-old DEA chemist, knew her sample could be
one of them.
Man, she said. Ive got to figure out what this is.
The proliferation of rapidly evolving synthetic opioids
has become so fierce that the DEA says they now constitute
an entire new class of drugs, which are fueling the deadliest
addiction crisis the United States has ever seen.
The fentanyl-like drugs are pouring in primarily from
China, U.S. officials say an assertion Beijing maintains
has not been substantiated . Laws cannot keep pace with the
speed of scientific innovation.

Before Trumps presidency,

U.S. privacy board in disarray
WASHINGTON A federal board responsible for protecting Americans against abuses by spy agencies is in disarray
just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
The five-member Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight
Board will have only two remaining members as of Jan. 7
and zero Democrats even though it is required to operate as
an independent, bipartisan agency. The vacancies mean it
will lack the minimum three members required to conduct
business and can work only on ongoing projects. Trump
would have to nominate new members, who would have to be
confirmed by the Senate.
The board was revitalized after former National Security
Agency contractor Edward Snowdens disclosures on the
scope of U.S. spying in 2013. It notably concluded that the
NSAs phone surveillance program was illegal.

Donald Trump: Deadly violence in

Germany is an attack on humanity
By Jonathan Lemire and Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

Donald Trump talks to members of the media at Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla.

Trumps inaugural to include

an interfaith prayer service
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Donald Trumps Inaugural weekend will

include an interfaith prayer service at
Washingtons National Cathedral. The Jan.
21 event will be complicated by anger over
the president-elects rhetoric on Muslims,
immigrants and others.
Its customary to hold such an interfaith
event. In 2013, the cathedral hosted
President Barack Obama and about two
dozen religious leaders, including
Muslims,
evangelicals,
Orthodox

Christians, Sikhs and Jews.

Trumps supporters say this interfaith
service will emphasize unity and reconciliation. Trump has called Mexicans rapists and
proposed severe restrictions on immigrants
and refugees from Muslim countries.
While Trump overwhelmingly won white
evangelical voters, he has been condemned
by many religious leaders over his stands on
immigrants and Muslims. The bad feeling
could undermine efforts by organizers to
attract clergy participants for the cathedral
service.

PALM BEACH, Fla. President-elect

Donald Trump declared Wednesday that the
deadly truck attack on a Christmas market
in Germany was an attack on humanity
and its got to be stopped. He also suggested he might go forward with his campaign pledge to temporarily ban Muslim
immigrants from coming to the United
States.
You know my plans. All along, Ive
been proven to be right, 100 percent correct, Trump said when asked if the attack
in Berlin had caused him to reevaluate the
proposal. Whats happening is disgraceful.
Trump proposed the Muslim ban during
the Republican primary campaign, prompting criticism from both parties. He shifted
his rhetoric during the general election to
focus on temporarily halting immigration
from an unspecified list of countries with
ties to terrorism, though he did not disavow
the Muslim ban. A transition spokesman
said later Wednesday that Trumps plans
might upset those with their heads stuck in
the politically correct sand.
President-elect Trump has been clear that
we will suspend admission of those from
countries with high terrorism rates and
apply a strict vetting procedure for those
seeking entry in order to protect American
lives, said spokesman Jason Miller.
But transition officials did not comment
as to whether Trump could also push for the
overarching ban on Muslims. The proposal
remains on his campaign website.
The Islamic State group has claimed
responsibility for Mondays attack in
Berlin that left 12 people dead and 48

injured. On Wednesday, German officials

launched a Europe-wide manhunt for a violent and armed Tunisian man suspected in
the killings.
Trump was spending the final days of
2016 huddling with advisers at his palatial
private estate in South Florida. He also met
Wednesday with the heads of Boeing and
Lockheed Martin, companies with highdollar government contracts that Trump has
criticized. Boeing has a contract to build
two new Air Force One planes and Lockheed
Martin builds the F-35 fighter jet.
Trump, who briefly spoke to reporters
outside Mar-a-Lago, said of his meeting
with Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn
Hewson, Its a little bit of a dance. Were
trying to get costs down.
Dennis Muilenburg, CEO of Boeing, said
his company was committed to working
with Trump to lower costs on the Air Force
One project.
The president-elect was also finalizing
his senior White House team, wrapping up a
decision-making process that has been
dogged by infighting among rival factions
within Trumps organization. Some of
Trumps original campaign aides have
expressed concern to the president-elect
himself that they are getting boxed out in
favor of those more closely aligned with
incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus, former chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
Among the early advisers who will not be
joining Trump at the White House is Corey
Lewandowski, his combative first campaign manager. But the operative wont be
far away Lewandowski announced plans
to start a political consulting firm with
offices just a block away from the White
House.

Turkey links Russian envoys

killer to U.S.-based cleric Gulen
ANKARA, Turkey Turkeys president
on Wednesday implicated a U. S. -based
Muslim cleric in the killing of Russias
envoy to Turkey, saying the policeman who
carried out the attack was a member of his
terror organization.
Ambassador Andrei Karlov was killed
Monday evening by a gunman in front of
stunned onlookers at a photo exhibition in
Ankara. The assassin, Mevlut Mert Altintas
of Ankaras riot police squad, was killed in
a police operation.
He (Altintas) was a member of the FETO
terrorist organization. There is no point in
hiding this, President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan said during a joint news conference
with his visiting Albanian counterpart.
From the places he was raised to his connections thats what they point at.
Turkey has accused Fethullah Gulen a
former ally who has turned into Erdogans
top foe of trying to destabilize Turkey
and says his movement is behind a failed
military coup in July aimed at toppling the
Turkish leader. Gulen has denied any
involvement in the coup. His movement
also condemned in the strongest terms
the ambassadors assassination.

Mexicans seek loved ones,

answers in deadly fireworks blast
TULTEPEC, Mexico Relatives of workers at a fireworks market flattened by a deadly chain-reaction explosion searched hospitals for loved ones Wednesday as attention focused on apparent lax security that
allowed vendors to display their dangerous
wares in the passageways between stalls.

Around the world

Health Secretary Cesar Gomez Monge of
Mexico State, where the San Pablito Market
is located, said another victim died in a hospital, raising the fatal toll to 32. About 46
people remained hospitalized, five of them
in such serious condition that they were
fighting for their lives, he added. Ten of the
injured were minors including one girl with
burns over 90 percent of her body.
Juana Antolina Hernandez, who has run a
stand for 22 years in San Pablito next to
one operated by her parents, escaped the
market in a mad dash when the explosions
began Tuesday afternoon. The following
day she was one of the disconsolate residents waiting outside a local morgue.

Germany had monitored Berlin

truck attack suspect for months
BERLIN German officials had deemed
the Tunisian man being sought in a manhunt across Europe a threat long before a
truck plowed into a Christmas market in
Berlin and even kept him under covert
surveillance for six months this year before
halting the operation.
Now the international manhunt for Anis
Amri considered the prime suspect in
Mondays deadly rampage is raising
questions about how closely German
authorities are monitoring the hundreds of
known Islamic extremists in the country.
The issue puts new pressure on
Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is running
for re-election next year. Critics are lambasting her for allowing hundreds of thousands of asylum-seekers to enter the country, allegedly without proper security
checks.

Aleppo evacuations in heavy

snow end brutal war chapter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Hundreds of rebel fighters and

civilians, including small children swaddled
in thick blankets, were bused out of war-ravaged Aleppo in heavy snow on Wednesday
as the evacuation of former rebel strongholds entered its final phase.
Scenes of buses slowly driving out of
Aleppo in a shroud of white offered an
evocative finale to what has been one of the
most brutal chapters in Syrias civil war.
The departures from Aleppo pave the way
for President Bashar Assad to assume full
control there, after more than four years of
fighting over Syrias largest city. It marks
the most significant victory for Assad since
an uprising against his familys four-decade
rule swept the country in 2011.
The evacuations were set in motion last
week after Syrias opposition agreed to sur-

render its last footholds in eastern Aleppo.

Since then, about 25,000 fighters and civilians have been bused out, according to the
United Nations. On Wednesday, buses began
evacuating the last rebels and civilians, an
estimated 3,000 people.
By nightfall, 25 buses carrying hundreds
of people had driven in a rare snow storm
from eastern Aleppo to opposition-held
areas in the countryside near the city, said
opposition activist Ahmad Primo, who was
monitoring arrivals at the main drop-off
point in the Rashideen district.
The evacuees got off the buses wearing
thick jackets and carrying sacks with
belongings. One woman dressed in a black
robe and face veil carried a small child swaddled in a heavy yellow blanket. A man held a
toddler whose face was peeking out from
under a blanket shielding him from falling
snow.

Dow still short of 20K as health stocks skid

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Stocks finished

slightly lower Wednesday as health
care companies continued to struggle. Energy companies rose as the
price of natural gas surged on the
first day of winter.
Some traders arent sticking
around to see if the Dow Jones
industrial average reaches the
20,000-point milestone: trading
volume has fallen sharply this
week as the year-end holidays draw
near.
After a mixed open, stocks finished at their lowest prices of the
day. Health care companies continued to lag the market, as theyve
done throughout 2016. Industrial
companies, which have surged
since the presidential election, also
eased lower. A jump of almost 9 percent in the price of natural gas
helped gas and pipeline companies
move higher.
It looks like were going to see
another cold blast, said Jim
Ritterbusch, an analyst who advises oil traders. He said weather forecasts suggest temperatures will
drop later next week, which means
people will use more natural gas to

Economy healed under Obama, but unhappy voters chose Trump

By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON He was a firstterm senator-turned-president, a

former law professor with little
experience in economics or management. When he entered the
White House he had one essential
task: piece together the shards of
a shattered U.S. economy.
It wasnt smooth and it wasnt
fast. But President Barack Obama
will leave behind, by most measures, an economy far stronger
than the one he inherited.
Unemployment is 4.6 percent, a
nine-year low. Stocks keep setting highs. An additional 20 million Americans have health insurance coverage. The nation has
shifted toward cleaner energy
sources: natural gas, wind and
solar.

Yet its also an economy that

left many people feeling neglected. Polling after the November
election found that nearly twothirds of voters described the
economy as not so good or
poor.
The costs of housing, college
and prescription drugs kept outpacing paychecks. Job options
had been dwindling for workers
with only high school diplomas
even before Obama took office,
but the downturn and slow recovery magnified the pain of that
trend. Many people gave up looking for work. Struggling rural
towns never enjoyed the uplift
that benefited major cities.
Fueled in part by such challenges, voters chose to pass the
presidency to Donald Trump, a
Republican who had railed against
a weak economy and promised to

undo many of Obamas policies.

The gap between the economys
overall health and Americans lingering anxieties cuts to the heart
of Obamas legacy. The president
and his team took historic
actions to pull the economy back
from the brink. But those very
steps failed to help swaths of
America and turned many people
against his policies, setting the
stage for Trumps nationalist
platform.
We saved the economy from a
failing financial system, though
we lost the country doing it,
Obamas first treasury secretary,
Tim Geithner, concluded in his
2014 memoirs.
Economic problems that had
been simmering for decades started to boil with the Great
Recession of 2007-2009. It suddenly became Obamas responsi-

bility to address problems that

were both immediate and generations in the making.
Building on measures taken by
George W. Bushs administration,
Obama pumped $412 billion into
teetering banks, troubled financial firms and the struggling
automakers General Motors and
Chrysler. The infusion was stigmatized for being a government
bailout, though the money was
ultimately repaid.
Then there was the Recovery
Act, known as the stimulus,
enacted less than a month after
Obama took the oath of office in
2009. Administration estimates
initially suggested that the $836
billion stimulus a mix of tax
cuts, public investments and
direct aid would prevent unemployment from rising above 8
percent.

Messinger said hes leaving the

company. The struggling company
has seen a number of executives
leave recently. Former Chief
Operating Officer Adam Bain left in
November. In October Twitter said
it would eliminate 9 percent of its
workforce. Twitter fell 84 cents, or
4.7 percent, to $17.08.
AMC Entertainment took a step
toward completing its purchase of
competitor Carmike Cinemas. The
Department of Justice said it will
sign off on the sale if AMC sells 15
movie theaters in areas where it
competes with Carmike. It will also
sell most of its holdings in cinema
advertising company National
CineMedia and transfer 24 theaters
to a rival theater ad company.
AMC agreed to buy Carmike in
July for about $825 million in cash
and stock in a deal that would make
AMC the biggest movie theater
chain in the U.S. Its stock rose
$1.25, or 3.7 percent, to $34.70.
Mobile
gyroscope
maker
InvenSense said it will be acquired
by Japans TDK Corp. for $13 a
share, or $1.22 billion. That sent
the stock to its highest price in
almost a year and a half.
InvenSense gained $1.91, or 17.6
percent, to $12.75.

Raiders look to get red zone offense clicking again

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Derek Carr and the Oakland

Raiders high-powered offense have struggled to score in recent weeks.
After being shut down in the cold in
Kansas City, the Raiders managed just one
touchdown in far more favorable conditions
last week in San Diego when Oakland
clinched its first playoff berth in 14 years.
The problem against the Chargers wasnt
moving the ball, it was punching it into the
end zone. Oakland (11-3) moved inside the

San Diego 20-yard line on seven of 11 possessions but made it into the end zone only
on a late drive in the first half, turning the
ball over twice, settling for three field goals
and ending the game with a kneel down on
the other possessions.
That came a week after Oakland was held
to one field goal on three second-half red
zone trips in a 21-13 loss to the Kansas
City Chiefs.
Were ready to get back on track, thats
for sure, offensive coordinator Bill
Musgrave said Wednesday. We want to
come away with touchdowns when we get

down there. Its tough

enough to get down
there. We want to finish
the right way. So, were
working hard on that,
count on being better
moving forward. A couple uncharacteristic mistakes. We dont want to
Bill Musgrave just sweep them under
the rug. We want to
address them, get them fixed and get back
on track.
The Raiders were quite good at that to start

Menlo falls in finale

the season, scoring touchdowns on 10 of

their first 11 trips into the red zone. Those
kinds of performances have helped Oakland
become the third highest-scoring team in
the league in the teams best season in
years.
Oakland hasnt been nearly as efficient of
late, scoring touchdowns on just 9 of 24
trips inside the 20 the past five weeks,
including the 2-for-11 performance over the
past two weeks.
We played two good defenses, Carr said.

All I want for

Christmas is

Playing its fth game in six nights, the

Menlo School girls basketball game had its
work cut out for it when it faced Colorados
Fairview in the championship game of the
Steve Geramoni Invitational at Notre DameBelmont Wednesday night.
Add in the fact Menlo had nals all last
week and didnt have the sharpest week of
practice and were facing a Fairview team that
is ranked ninth in Colorado, and the deck
was stacked against Menlo.
It all showed as Fairview out-ran Menlo to
post a 65-46 victory to capture the tournament title, knocking off defending champ
Menlo in the process.
I think we ran out of gas, said Menlo
coach John Paye. We couldnt buy a hoop.
I think we lost our legs.
Menlo (5-2 overall) managed to connect
on just 19 of 61 attempts, which is an icy
31 percent from the eld. Even worse,
Menlo was just 2 for 20 from behind the 3point line.
That was kind of frustrating, Paye said.
Fairview also struggled for most of the
game with its shooting. It shot 34 percent
on 24 for 70 from the eld, but it knocked
down nine 3-pointers.
Fairview (7-1) relied on Ashley Panems
outside shooting, where the junior shooting
guard drilled six 3-pointers to nish with a
game-high 26 points to take home tournament MVP honors.
She was complemented by senior post
player Grace ONeil, who nished with 23
points. ONeil started the game with a deft
jumper and nished by dominating in the
paint. In the fourth quarter, ONeil score
nine of her teams 18 points.
Menlo was led senior guard Sam Erisman,
who scored 16 points. She was the only
Menlo player to score in double gures.
Despite the nal score, Menlo battled to
stay in the game until the fourth quarter.
Trailing most of the night, Menlo was down
nine, 47-38, entering the fourth quarter.
Erisman, however, opened the period by

hey say it is better to give than to

receive but, at this time of the
year, lets be honest, its always
nice to get a little something for yourself.
As a fan of Bay Area sports, there are
many things that I wish for the local pro
teams for this Christmas season. I realize
many of these will not materialize before
Sunday, but like a
certain Christian
deity, Santa Claus
works in mysterious
ways.
So, what I want for
Christmas is:
For 49ers CEO Jed
York to grow a
spine. With this dismal NFL season for
the San Francisco
49ers mercifully
coming to an end
soon, the team and management are savaged on a weekly basis on social media.
And yet York, who in the past was constantly running his mouth or at the
very least, his Twitter account has not
been heard from in months.
But now is the time for him to put his
big-boy pants on and fire general manager Trent Baalke, who, if he hasnt run this
team into the ground, certainly hasnt
done anything over the last three or four
years to warrant another shot at running
the team.
After leaving millions of dollars of
salary cap money in the bank, the 49ers
are devoid of any real talent. That falls
directly on the GM. Time for York to step
up and take control of this team, instead
of fiddling away as the 49ers empire
burns.
***
For the NBA schedule makers to get a
clue. The most anticipated game of the
NBA thus far will tip off Sunday when the
Golden State Warriors make their only
trip to Cleveland to take on the defending
champs.
One has to wonder, however, if the

49ers stick together

through dismal season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA At 1-13, the 49ers have every reason to

be upset.
Fans are upset. Jobs in the front office and on the coaching staff are at risk. The franchise is at a low point despite
being just three seasons removed from contending for a second straight Super Bowl appearance.
But those arent the vibes emanating from the locker
room during Chip Kellys first season, despite going
through the longest losing streak in team history, which
could extend to 14 Saturday against the Rams.
(The players) dont have to dwell on the negative part of
it. They deal on how do we become part of the solution and
how do we fix this thing, Kelly said.
The 49ers are still a loose bunch that keeps things light.
Between their morning practices and afternoon walkthroughs, they converge on a ping pong table and have
mini tournaments. They play music and sing. Some players
belted out Christmas songs in harmony this week.
The players have found ways to compartmentalize the losing by bringing a positive approach
founded on hard work.
As a man, when you dont work and
you lose, it hurts really bad, linebacker
Michael Wilhoite said. But when you
work really hard, it still hurts, but at the
same time weve done everything we can
do. Were putting in the work. ... The
teammates and love for your teammates
goes way beyond winning and losing.
Kelly hasnt been known for bringing
Michael
locker rooms together. At his previous
Wilhoite
stop in Philadelphia, he made controversial decisions by cutting star receiver DeSean Jackson and
trading running back LeSean McCoy before the Eagles
decided to fire Kelly near the end of last season.
The former Oregon coach this season has maintained an
even keel throughout the historic losing streak, which has
rubbed off on some.
Like coach always says, you cant let a situation define
who you are, veteran safety Antoine Bethea said. And if
you came into work every day mad ... that would be miserable for yourself, that would be miserable for people around
you. This type of thing builds character. It kind of shows
you what kind of teammates you have, what kind of coaches
you have.
But Bethea said maintaining a positive working environment hasnt changed his distaste for the way the season has
gone. The 49ers statistically have the NFLs worst defense,
ranking last in scoring and yardage. Theyve also set a franchise record by allowing 2,468 yards rushing, with two
games remaining.

Oklahoma is dealing with

fallout from violent video
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORMAN, Okla. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said

Wednesday that Joe Mixon, out of Freedom High School in
Oakley, would be off the team if he had punched a woman now
instead of 2 1/2 years ago, when he suspended the star running
back for a year in a move that has drawn sharp criticism.
Mixon was suspended after punching Oklahoma student
Amelia Molitor in 2014. Mixon returned last year and helped
the Sooners reach the College Football Playoff, and he has
been a standout again this year for No. 7 Oklahoma.
In reversing course, Stoops said he believed that the then-18year-old Mixon could redeem himself. He said times have
changed, and society now has a no-tolerance policy on domestic violence incidents. He said thats a good thing.
Two-and-a-half-years later, dismissal is really the only
thing that is possible, Stoops said. A young guy having an
opportunity to rehabilitate and to have some kind of discipline
and come back from it is really not there anymore. Hopefully
that message goes down even to the high school level, that
these things are just unacceptable to any degree.
Mixon entered an Alford plea at the time, acknowledging
there was likely enough evidence to convict him of misdemeanor assault while still asserting his
innocence. He did not serve jail time and
was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and undergo counseling.
In video released Tuesday, Mixon sat
stone-faced as he, his mother and police
ofcers watched footage of him knocking
out Molitor with a punch, breaking her jaw
and cheekbone, at a local restaurant.
The video of Mixon telling his side of
Joe Mixon
the story three days after the July 2014
incident was released by Norman police.
His mother, members of his legal team, Detective David
Freudiger and Sgt. Gary Schmidt were in the room. The department released the video less than a week after Mixons attorneys released video showing the attack.
Stoops said he was shaken by the video of the punch.
It was horrible, he said. I hated it. Disliked it as I hated
it as much as anybody did. Absolutely.
Stoops said the length of time it took for the video of the
punch to come out created problems.
We expected that video to be released within a week or two
or three weeks or within that month, he said. We had no idea
it would go this long, and that is out of our hands as well. The
timeline of it all has not worked out very well for anybody.
In the video released by police on Tuesday, Mixon said a
friend of Molitors blew smoke in his face unintentionally, and
Mixon stood to avoid the smoke. He then said Molitor walked
up and intentionally blew smoke in his face. He told teammate
Michiah Quick that Molitor was being hella disrespectful for
blowing the smoke in his face.
According to Mixon, Molitor was rude to several of Mixons
teammates, including tight end Mark Andrews.
Later, Mixon said the male with Molitor called him a racial
slur, and Mixon responded with a homosexual slur. Mixon said
Molitor dropped her purse and hit him. He then said he lunged

A young guy having an opportunity to

at her and said Watch out. He said she hit him again, hard
enough for his face to start ringing, and he slugged her.
I was shocked because she hit me so hard, he said. It felt
like a dude hit me.
Mixon admitted to police he should have left the situation
alone before it escalated, but once the racial slur was used, he
lost focus. He said after he punched her, his thought was, What
I got myself into? and said he thought about how he got himself into a stupid situation and started thinking about his
future. Video shows him leaving the restaurant quickly after the
punch.
Stoops said Mixon has been struggling since video of the
punch was released as the Sooners prepared for the Jan. 2 Sugar
Bowl against Auburn.
Critics have said the university should have dismissed
Mixon back in 2014. They have also noted a Tulsa World report
that receiver Dede Westbrook, a Heisman Trophy nalist, had
family violence incidents before enrolling at Oklahoma. Two
more former Oklahoma players, linebacker Frank Shannon and
receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, also were accused of violence
against women in recent years.
Among those calling for changes is Brenda Tracy, who says
she was raped by two Oregon State football players and two
other men in 1998 and has publicly shared her story in hopes
of effecting change and raising awareness of about the toll of
sexual assault. She has met with players at Baylor and
Nebraska, among others, and met with Oklahoma players in
August.
I would propose that you y me out to Oklahoma after the
rst of the year and we sit down and create some new policies
that will prevent future incidents of violent athletes being
recruited to Oklahoma football, she said in an e-mail she says
was recently sent to Stoops and athletic director Joe
Castiglione. I would propose that Oklahoma become the gold
standard in football. That your program would become the
example of accountability and best practices for recruitment
and discipline of violent athletes.
Tracy said the school had not responded to the e-mail, though
Stoops said he had spoken with her a few days earlier.
Stoops said Mixon has matured since the incident.
Its hard to give up on these young men that I go in their
homes and talk to their families and talk about their opportunities to grow at Oklahoma, he said. For those that nd that
unacceptable, I apologize to those people. But I feel like Joe
has moved ahead in a very positive way. And believe hes really grown and matured for it.

between the big club and the Triple A the
last couple years and while they have both
shown flashes of being something, now is
not the time to solely rely on them. I have
no problem with platooning either one of
them with a proven outfielder, but for the
answer to share the position between those

not my definition of success.

not for his leaving the NHL to play in Russia from 2008
through 2011. Jagr collected 146 points in those three seasons, deciding to play there in part because of the proximity to his parents in the Czech Republic. But he missed the
NHL, returned to play with Philadelphia in 2011-12 and
has been collecting jerseys since, also logging time with
Dallas, Boston, New Jersey and now Florida since coming
back to North America.
Its an honor to be around him, get a little wisdom from
him, get a few laughs from him, said Floridas Nick
Bjugstad, who scored the goal that became point No. 1,887
for Jagr. Hes been nothing but awesome for our organization.
Including playoffs, Tuesdays three-point game was the
215th of Jagrs career.
Hes reached seven points in an NHL game twice, and
thats not even close to his career best. He played one game
in a German league in 1994-95 during an NHL work stoppage and racked up 11 points one goal and 10 assists.
His first NHL point was a goal on Oct. 7, 1990, when he
was the youngest player in the league at 18. The goalie who
gave that one up was Chris Terreri, who was just in his second full NHL season and a relatively young player at 25.
Terreri had a fine, full career and his last NHL game was 16
years ago. Jagr is still going, with no end in sight.
The way he comes to work every single day is unbelievable, Panthers interim coach and general manager Tom
Rowe said.
The NHL is made up of two conferences, six divisions and
30 arenas. And to illustrate how long Jagr has been in that
league, consider that hes played in four conferences, 11
divisions and 57 different arenas.
That doesnt even include four neutral-site arenas, or two
baseball stadiums Yankee Stadium in New York, and
Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Hes kind of inspired us with his passion and dedication,
Messier said.
For Messier, going to No. 3 on the all-time scoring list is
merely a formality. He said the huge numbers Jagr put up
early in his career deserve credit on their own, and now he
merits more of the same credit for staying so fit and committed at this point in his life.
This is kind of anticlimactic for me in a way, said
Messier, a former teammate of Jagr with the New York
Rangers. I understand the amount of time that he put in
overseas when he left the NHL and came back and the amount
of points he amassed over there and where he would be if he
would have stayed (here). So I guess in my own mind he surpassed me a long time ago.

Frank Gore, at 33 years old and in his second year in Indianapolis, is steadily climbing the list of the NFLs all-time greats.

Ageless Gore provides Colts

with a strong finishing kick
By Michael Marot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS Frank Gore never allowed obstacles to

get in the way of success.
Age isnt slowing him down, either.
The running back who overcame one knee injury to regain
the starting job at the University of Miami and another to
show NFL scouts his pro career couldnt be derailed, and who
outplayed his third-round draft grade now seems to be defying
the biggest opponent of all father time.
I train with young guys and I feel like if I can keep up with
them and beat them, Im still in pretty good shape, the
Indianapolis Colts leading rusher said Wednesday.
It shows.
Gores 2016 season has been one for the history books.
At age 33, he has surpassed six Hall of Famers and one
friend to climb to eighth on the leagues career rushing list.
In November, he became the fifth player in league history
with more than 12,500 yards rushing and 400 receptions.
Last weekend, he cracked the NFLs top 10 for career scrimmage yards.
He achieved one personal goal in October by ending the
Colts 55-game streak without a 100-yard runner and added a
second last weekend.
And Gore isnt finished yet.
With two games to go, he is within 109 yards of becoming
Indys first 1,000-yard runner since Joseph Addai in 2007
a topic hed rather wait to discuss after falling 33 yards short
last season.
If he makes it, Gore would become the leagues oldest
1,000-yard rusher since John Riggins in 1984 and would join
Emmitt Smith, Curtis Martin, Walter Payton and Barry
Sanders as the only players with at least nine 1,000-yard seasons.
It could happen this weekend at Oakland (11-3), not far from
where he spent his younger workdays.
If we get it Saturday that would be fitting for me, said
Gore, who was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers and played
10 seasons on that side of the bay. I wish it were the Niners.

RAIDERS
Continued from page 11
Obviously, we had our plays that we could have made and
should have made and I think that it just comes down to we
didnt do a good job of making those plays, to be honest.
On third down, they got us off the field and we kicked field
goals. Which is good, you always want the points. But,
anytime we can get the touchdowns, obviously thats what
we want.
One difference the past few weeks has been that the
Raiders have been operating exclusively out of the shotgun
or pistol formation ever since Carr injured his pinkie on his
throwing hand in the third quarter of a win against Carolina
on Nov. 27.

Gores numbers only tell part of the story, though.

He struggled in school and was later diagnosed with dyslexia. His mother, Lizzie, fought her own battle with drug addiction in a neighborhood where drugs were often available.
When he finally made it to college, the injuries hit and
when Gore got to the pros he had to be patient enough for the
49ers to rebuild.
He did it by putting his head down, plowing ahead and bowling over anything in his way.
You cant say enough good things about him. If we all
knew how hard (he worked) and where he came from and the
things he has done to be able to get to this point, said Colts
offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, who also coached
Gore at Miami.
There were probably a lot of odds stacked up against him
but he has gotten here. He is just a special, special guy.
Teammates agree.
But two years ago, with the 49ers entering rebuild mode
again, they let the franchises career rushing leader walk away
in free agency hardly a surprising move in a league where
30-year-old running backs are often regarded as over the hill.
What Gore found in Indianapolis was a team convinced he
could still be productive and strong and a team Gore thought
could help him earn that elusive Super Bowl ring.
Again, things did not go according to script.
Last season, Andrew Luck missed nine games with injuries
and the Colts were left out of the playoffs.
This season, many expected better from Indy even though it
was relying on a young, revamped offensive line.
But the Colts (7-7) lost their first two games, spent the rest
of the season playing catch-up and are on the verge of being
eliminated from playoff contention again.
I know one thing, Im going to go out this Saturday and try
to play my behind off for my teammates, he said.
Hopefully, that can be our Christmas present.
As usual, Gore is putting his life lessons to work. Hes
going to play football the only way he knows how.
Its a kids game, Chudzinski said. And he is a kid at heart
playing a game that he loves and still playing it at a high
level, which at that position is amazing.
Carr has not taken a single snap under center since returning after missing one series that game, although he did line
up there to draw an offside penalty against San Diegos Joey
Bosa last week.
The Raiders have gone to the shotgun or pistol even near
the goal line or in victory formations but Carr downplays
that factor, pointing to the teams 419 yards rushing the
past three weeks.
We ran for more yards those last three games than
before, Carr said. So, I think its a myth when it says
under center and those kinds of things. We ran the ball just
fine.
NOTES: S Karl Joseph (toe) remains out of practice after
missing the past two games. ... DT Stacy McGee (ankle)
also is not back on the practice field yet after missing three
games. ... LB Shilique Calhoun (knee) returned to practice
after missing the past four games.

Cheer in the long term: Growing a Christmas tree from seed

By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Even during this holiday season, with

winter upon us, you might find some
gardening to do. Growing a Christmas
tree from seed, for example.
Thats no short-term proposition. But
the long wait is offset by the wide selection of trees from which to choose, their
negligible cost and best of all the
satisfaction you get from growing your
own tree. Youre sure to eye your own,
seed-grown Christmas tree with more
affection than youve ever felt toward a
tree loaded onto the roof of your car
from a sales lot.
Aside from patience, all you need to
get started are a plastic bag, a pen, a couple of handfuls of potting soil and the
seeds.

OPTIONS IN PROCURING SEEDS

Plan on about 10 years until harvest, depending on growing
conditions and the kind of tree.

Its late in the season, but you could

collect seed yourself if you know of
some nice-looking, mature trees of
species suitable for decorating and
keeping through the holidays indoors.
The most popular trees for this purpose
include Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris),
white pine (Pinus strobus), Norway
spruce (Picea abies), Douglas fir
(Pseudotsuga menziesii), balsam fir
(Abies balsamea) and white fir (Abies
concolor).
Then again, your choices need not be
limited to those popular species. Maybe

your taste runs toward a tree with the

long, languid needles of a Himalayan
pine (Pinus Wallichiana) or the stubby,
bluish needles of a Colorado blue spruce
(Picea pungens).
Most conifers ripen their seeds in late
summer or early fall, the cones scales
spreading to disperse their seeds in the
weeks or months that follow. If you lay
hands on some intact, mature cones, put
them in a paper or burlap bag so their
seeds wont be lost when the cones
open, a process that can be speeded up
by keeping them warm or even heating
them a bit.
The other option, of course, is to buy
the seeds. For small quantities, go to J.
L. Hudson (Star Route 2, P.O. Box 337,
La Honda, CA 94020, www.jlhudsonseeds.net)
or
Tree
Seeds
(www.treeseeds.com); larger amounts
can be purchased from such sources as
Sheffields Seed Co. (315-497-1058,
www.sheffields.com) and F. W.
Schumacher (www.treeshrubseeds.com).

AN ARTIFICIAL WINTER
Many conifer seeds will sprout quite
readily if sown fresh out of their cones,
although sprouting is often erratic.
Once stored though, they usually need
some treatment before theyll come to
life. Start that treatment essentially
an artificial winter by soaking the
seed for 24 hours; thats autumn rain.
Then rinse the seeds well to wash away
any germination inhibitors; drain; and

put them into a plastic bag along with

moist potting soil.
Seal the bag shut and put it in your
refrigerator. The seeds need to sit in the
moist coolness of the refrigerator for
one to three months, after which theyll
be convinced that winter is over and its
safe to sprout.
This treatment might be advisable
even for freshly harvested seeds to
improve or make less erratic their germination. Now, anyway, isnt the best
time of year for seeds to be sprouting.

NURSERY CARE
Leave that plastic bag tucked away in
the back of your refrigerator until
spring. Check it occasionally because
once some seeds think winter is over,
they are so eager to get started that
theyll actually sprout in the refrigerator. Conifer seedlings grow slowly and
offer little competition to weeds, so
when you do plant them, do so either in
containers or in a carefully tended garden row. Seedlings in containers need
more watering care; seedlings out in the
garden need only occasional watering,
but close guarding against weed
encroachment.
Neither the containers nor the garden
row will be the plants permanent home,
just nursery areas. After a couple of seasons in the nursery, transplant the trees,
which will still be quite small, to more
permanent locations where they can
grow until ready for cutting.

ROBOTS
Continued from page 1
more connected and reliant on computers,
Gupta said he wanted to quickly help her get
on the path to learning real world skills.
With the help of colleagues, Gupta built a
robot capable of control through a mobile
phone or tablet app designed to help students
as young as kindergartners comprehend the
building blocks of coding. While students
work through a progressively challenging
set of commands on the app, the robots react
similar to a remote control device moving,
communicating or interacting with the programmer.
Guptas company has grown with his
daughter and the sleekly designed blue robots
named Dot and Dash have been shipped to
more than 10,000 schools across the globe.
Plans are in place to continue expanding the
reach in coming years.
For his part, Gupta said his career as an
entrepreneur is tied closely to his responsibilities as a father.
My job helps me be a better dad because I
am able to take what I learn and use that as a
parent, he said. And what I learn as a parent

I bring to my job.
The blended approach seems to have paid
dividends, as the company with headquarters
spread across the second floor of an office
building at Fashion Island Boulevard has
received awards for its innovative education
products from Good Housekeeping magazine, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
the National Parenting Publications and
more. A majority of the companys 45
employees work locally, but the robots are
manufactured in China.
Gupta, who established himself at a variety
of notable tech companies such as Google
and Amazon prior to launching Wonder
Workshop, said he believes there is much
more to accomplish.
Looking ahead, the next challenge is
expanding access for underprivileged communities to be able to use the product by
seeking grants, collaborative initiatives or
the company sponsoring placement of the
technology in schools, said Gupta.
One successful example of such an effort is
a rural community in Ohio where Gupta said
the company helped land funding to acquire
the robots, spanning in price between $50
and $200 for a set. He said the students adopted a passionate interest in using the Wonder
Workshop tools for furthering their computer science and coding education in an area

THE DAILY JOURNAL

where they would not usually be exposed to

such lessons.
Gupta points to the need in similar communities to develop abilities on modern platforms because industries which have traditionally offered the largest source of jobs
stand to be threatened in a future leaning
more heavily on technology.
Vice President Mike Lorion stated the
necessity for developing coding abilities
more plainly.
Computer science is the foundation for
jobs that students will want to pursue 20
years from now, he said, pointing the spread
of technology into a variety of jobs and
industries which previously existed far apart
from the influence of computers.
The Wonder Workshop robots have been
successful in helping make those skills more
accessible and easy to understand for students
regardless of gender, which Lorion also
noted as a great success of the company.
For years, computer science was seen by
many only as a boys club but, with the
launch of competitive robotics leagues on
the Wonder Workshop platform, Lorion said
thousands of young girls have taken up an
interest in the field.
Though the company is targeting a global
marketplace, reaching an estimated 300,000
students internationally, there is an effort to

keep an eye to the work that can be done in

San Mateo County classrooms as well.
To that end, Lorion said the company is
collaborating with a group of teachers from
the Mandarin immersion program on the
campus of College Park Elementary School
in San Mateo to develop new curriculum for
the platform.
Even though schools are often the place
where children first get the bug for coding
through exposure to Wonder Workshop products, Lorion said the company remains interested in encouraging families to purchase the
robots so students can continue their learning at home.
Its not just teachers, but moms and dads
and one feeds the other so we are trying to
focus in on both groups, said Lorion.
In the dual effort, Lorion said he believes
the company will ultimately help the next

task force consisting of nonprofit representatives, faith groups and community members. The group will share information, help
educate the public and keep tabs on potential
legislation.
We want to let the community know that
all are welcome and well provide a safe space
where all folks can voice their opinions and
share their ideas, Ruddock said, noting the
letter expresses a desired code of conduct for
the city and hopefully the community that
prioritizes mutual respect. That we wont tolerate bullying or hatred whether its acts or
language. And this is a start, but well move
on from there.
The letter and actions were inspired in part
after many community members approached
the council earlier this month, she said.
The issue is particularly poignant in a city
where about 32 percent of the population is
Latino, according to City Manager Magda
Gonzalez, who noted that doesnt necessarily correspond to their immigrant population.

per year, down from 7.5 percent, over
the next three years, and will give government agencies an additional five
years to absorb the higher payments.
This was a very difficult decision to
make, but it is an important step to
ensure the long-term sustainability of
the Fund, said Rob Feckner, president
of the CalPERS board.
For the state general fund alone, the
change will increase pension contributions by $100 million next year, and
by nearly $1 billion once fully phased
in, according to the Department of
Finance. Cities, counties and school
districts will also face steep increases.
State and local governments contributed $10.8 billion to the pension
fund in the last fiscal year.
The move gets closer to CalPERS
actual experience in the market, but it
comes with serious financial conse-

Mateo County coastside boast rich agricultural and tourism industries that thrive on the
hard work of minority and immigrant workers.
Our agricultural and horticultural, our
service industry in general our hotels, our
restaurants theres no question they drive
our economy on the coastside and we value
and respect their contributions. Theyre part
of our community, thats why we want to do
right by them and we want to make sure
everybody feels safe, Ruddock said.
Gonzalez said the citys letter was to
express their solidarity with the immigrant
community and clearly pledge it will remain
a safe, and secure place for families to live
and thrive together.
The future community forums will also provide an opportunity for people to learn more
about what steps the state and local government is taking, Gonzalez said.
She noted concerns expressed generally
mirror those which have been brought to
light throughout the nation fear of mass
deportations, breaking up of families,
increased detentions and possible abuse of
process, rescinding of [Obamas Deferred
Action for Children Arrivals] (and possible
use of personal information in that program). There is also anxiety about perceived
negative changes in the overall perception

quences for government agencies and

the workers they employ.
Money that the pension fund doesnt
expect to earn from investments must
come from other sources, which will
consume tax dollars that would otherwise go to education, public safety,
social services and other government
programs.
Even 7 percent is optimistic.
CalPERS advisers project the fund will
earn on average just 6.2 percent per
year over the next decade.
CalPERS, the nations largest public
pension system with more than $300
billion in assets and 1.8 million members, faces a series of financial pressures. More workers are retiring and living longer once they do, raising benefit
costs and leaving fewer people to pay
into the system.
The fund has not recovered from
massive investment losses during the
Great Recession, which wiped out a
quarter of the pension funds value.
And investment returns have fallen far
short of the earnings target 0.61
percent in the last fiscal year and 2.4

of those in our immigrant community as a

whole.
Councilman Rick Kowalczyk agreed the
letter of solidarity outlines a code of conduct
they expect the city and community to follow.
We ask the community to stand together
and actively denounce threatening behavior,
exercise zero tolerance for bigotry and prejudice, and work together to address residents
need for safety and security, Kowalczyk.
Along with the letter, the city reviewed the
Sheriffs Office existing immigration policies. Although San Mateo County is not a
declared sanctuary county a jurisdiction in
which officials will not proactively contact
federal immigration enforcement the
Sheriffs Office does not directly investigate
or enforce immigration laws. It is also not
their practice to inquire about a persons
immigration status, according to the
Sheriffs Office.
The intent is to not discourage people from
reporting crimes, although the Sheriffs
Office will cooperate with federal law
enforcement officials when asked. Half
Moon Bay does not have its own police force
and contracts with the Sheriffs Office for law
enforcement.
Our residents can remain confident that
they can work with local law enforcement to

percent the year before.

CalPERS now pays out more each
month in benefits to its retired members than it earns from cash and investment earnings. The fund has only
enough assets to pay for about 68 percent of promised benefits, and each year
of below-target earnings creates a bigger chasm between assets and liabilities.
Todays action by the CalPERS
Board is more reflective of the financial
returns they can expect in the future,
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown said in a
statement. This will make for a more
sustainable system.
Brown has long warned about the precarious finances in the states pension
system and urged CalPERS to adopt
more realistic assumptions.
The decision will strain the budgets
of local governments and require their
workers to contribute more, but failing
to react to the pension systems growing unfunded liability would be even
worse, said Faith Conley, legislative
advocate for the California State
Association of Counties.

report suspected criminal activity and they

can access and receive services without fear
of being reported to federal officials and risk
deportation, Kowalczyk said.
Both he and Ruddock noted the city does
not collect information or report to federal
officials about its residents immigration
status. Although some have questioned
whether Half Moon Bay should declare itself
as a sanctuary city, Ruddock noted its not
clear whether that would actually be a benefit and could instead draw unwanted attention.
But the community of Half Moon Bay will
continue to collaborate on ways to be inclusive whether its of minorities, those who
identify as LGBT or women and try to help
with some of the post-election unease,
Ruddock said.
We cant feel safe if we dont show each
other mutual respect. We want to be careful of
our language and our behavior so that we
have a safe place to express ourselves,
Ruddock said. You can pass various laws,
but I think real long-term security depends
on the mutual bonds and respect we have for
each other. In the community, thats whats
ultimately going to make us safer.

SUIT
Continued from page 1
women and two union representatives
who were reportedly fired for trying to
help, said the case is disturbing. Many
of the women, some of whom were
immigrants, were terrified of losing the
jobs on which they depended.
Furthermore, they were victimized by
men who leveraged their vulnerable
positions against them, Garcia said.
A lot of this is companies thinking
they do not have to investigate claims
or abuses suffered by immigrant
employees, Garcia said. They did not
respect these women or the pain they
were going through.
A Genentech spokeswoman said the
company does not comment on pending
litigation involving a vendor, but that
they, she wrote in an email, value and
respect
everyone
working
on
Genentechs campus. We are committed
to maintaining a positive work environment free of unlawful harassment,
and we have an anti-harassment policy
in place.

Assault after hours

According to the lawsuits, Genentech
officials and SBM executives were notified that multiple women had reported
assaults. Collectively, the lawsuits
name 10 men employed by SBM whose
alleged discriminatory behavior ranged
from making explicit and derogatory
sexual statements, to forcibly raping
some of the women multiple times
while at work on the Genentech campus,
according to court documents.
The allegations include off-site incidents, but the majority occurred at the
Genentech campus at a building where
animals are kept and janitors cleaned
cages, a laundry room, mens as well as
womens restrooms and under an office
desk, according to the lawsuits. In one
case, a woman was allegedly raped on
the floor of the mothers room an
area Genentech provides for nursing
moms.
The women also faced threats by their
alleged abusers that they could lose their
jobs, have their work hours reduced or
even have their family members physically harmed if they spoke out, according to the lawsuits.

When speaking up didnt work

But most of the women did speak out
to Genentech site managers, SBM executives, their union representatives and
even police. In turn, many of the women
were fired from their jobs and criminal
cases against two of the men, including
the most egregious alleged rapist, were
never prosecuted; according to the lawsuits, South San Francisco Police
Department and the District Attorneys
Office.
Abuse against immigrant women, par-

ticularly janitors who work late at

night, is a tragically unfortunate reality,
said Cindy Marroquin, a counselor and
education program manager with Rape
Trauma Services in Burlingame.
Theyre put in a very vulnerable
position because there arent other people around. And the supervisors, in a
majority of these cases, are men and
they have a lot of power. Theyre the
key to their paychecks, the key to their
jobs and physically, they have a lot of
power over them, Marroquin said.
They use that vulnerability to target
them, unfortunately its very, very common.
She noted how these women are often
invisible to the people they clean up
after, adding society can help empower
them by simply recognizing their
value.
But many are afraid to speak up about
abuses often due to immigration status
or a general fear of law enforcement.
And as with many sex assaults, it can be
a he said, she said case, she said.
Whether language barriers come into
play, or they have trouble clearly
expressing their stories because of
resulting trauma, Marroquin said law
enforcement and prosecutors should
consider context before dismissing
charges due to a lack of corroboration.

Tough to prosecute
South San Francisco police referred at
least three cases to the District
Attorneys Office around 2013-14. Its
currently unclear whether the cases were
specific to the women in the lawsuit, but
they did cover two of the men named in
the lawsuit.
Deputy District Attorney Karen
Guidotti said police submitted a referral
for prosecutors to consider charges
against one of the men, including
felony rape by force or fear, sexual battery and sodomy in concert with another.
She said prosecutors initially felt
there was insufficient corroboration and
declined to file charges against a man
the civil lawsuits allege raped at least
two women on multiple occasions at
Genentech.
We always take the allegations seriously, but we have ethical obligations
about filing charges against people and
we dont file charges unless we have a
good faith belief that theres a reasonable likelihood of conviction, Guidotti
said.
But, she noted the cases were originally submitted and reviewed separately.
The District Attorneys Office has since
pulled all of the cases and will reconsider them collectively.

Employers role
Genentech is one of the largest
employers in San Mateo County while
SBM reports working in over five countries with a client portfolio that includes
Fortune 500 companies like Amazon
and Starbucks. SBM, which contracts

with companies to provide maintenance

services such as janitors, is accused of
overlooking the womens complaints,
terminating some of them after speaking about the abuse, as well as firing
two male union representatives who
attempted to help, according to the lawsuit.
SBM did not respond to requests for
information as to whether the man who
is accused of rape is still employed by
the company.
However, Paul Emperador, vice president of SBMs Human Resources, disputed the claims.
SBM strongly denies the allegations
in the lawsuit and intends to vigorously
defend itself. As soon as SBM was made
aware of any complaints by the plaintiffs we conducted a prompt, comprehensive and effective investigation,
Emperador wrote in an email.
He emphasized the employees were
covered under a union agreement with
strong anti-harassment provisions
under which they could have filed a
grievance. He also noted some of the
women complained months or years
after the alleged incidents took place
and that a few of the incidents occurred
before SBM started at Genentech.
SBM has a strong policy against
workplace discrimination and harassment that is disseminated to all employees upon hire, Emperador wrote. We
have a strong record of providing a safe
workplace for our employees.
Garcia, who is representing six of the
plaintiffs, said the companies did not
fully investigate until after the U.S.
Equal
Employment
Opportunity
Commission considered the discrimination claims and agreed his clients had a
right to sue both SBM and Genentech.
Garcia said the South San Francisco
biotech company settled with some of
the women after the EEOCs decision
and prior to the civil complaint filing,
although he couldnt specify details due
to confidentiality clauses.
Lisa Mack, an attorney representing
two women, said she couldnt comment
on pending litigation or why Genentech
was not a defendant in her October lawsuit.
But having covered employment disputes for the last eight years, Mack
noted janitorial staff and women such as
her clients are often marginalized and
face abuse.
This is a vulnerable community of
workers and a lot of them are immigrants, they have language barriers a
lot of them are uneducated and theyre
working low-wage jobs and they need to
work to put food on the table and support their families, Mack said. But
like all other employees in any other
industry, their employment rights need
to be respected. They should be able to
work in an environment that is free of
discrimination and sexual harassment
and in an environment where if they do
have concerns, they should be able to
talk about them without fear of retaliation.
