County counts homeless

Action seeks info to tailor service programs
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Teams of volunteers, including

Supervisor Don Horsley, fanned
out throughout San Mateo County
Thursday to count the homeless.
The point-in-time count is a program of the Housing and Urban
Development Department, which
will compare the data to previous
counts as well as counts conducted

in other regions to determine where

its federal dollars should be spent.
Locally, the information is used
by the Human Services Agency to
tailor homeless services through
the Housing Our People Effectively
Interagency Council, or HOPE.
Horsley was part of a team that
searched for homeless people living in wooded areas of Pacifica.
There are encampments in
remote areas. Were trying to find

where they are and then get the

resources so people are not camping in the woods. We found some
encampments and the people are
obviously living in very primitive
circumstances in secluded areas
around Pacifica, Horsley wrote in
a statement.
Seeing how some people live in
the county was an eye-opening

Redwood City residents are split on a plan to reduce the number of lanes on Farm Hill Boulevard and Jefferson
Avenue from four lanes to three.

Road plan draws mixed reactions

Redwood City Council to discuss reducing lanes on Farm Hill Boulevard
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A proposal to reduce the number

of lanes from four to three on busy
Farm Hill Boulevard in Redwood
City is drawing mixed reviews
with some saying the plan is long
overdue while others say it is simply ridiculous.
Some residents who live in the
area have complained that Farm
Hill, which meets Jefferson Avenue
west of El Camino Real, has
become a magnet for drag racing.
But others say that a lane reduction will only make traffic worse.

The City Council will consider

approving a pilot project to
reconfigure the road at its Monday
night meeting.
The plan is to reconfigure the
traffic lanes on Farm Hill
Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue,
from the citys western limit to
Alameda de las Pulgas, from four
lanes to three lanes with a two-way
left turn center lane and two bicycle lanes.
Joshua Vaughn, who lives on the
3500 block of Farm Hill, applauds
the plan.
He regularly commutes to work
by bicycle on Farm Hill as it meets

A violent convict who has spent

motorists who drive up to 60 mph
on Farm Hill after exiting
Interstate 280.
But Redwood City resident Tye
Tyson told the Daily Journal that
the plan would bog traffic down
even worse.

Surprise! Magnets used to plant
drugs under cars from Mexico
SAN DIEGO Drug smugglers are
turning trusted travelers into unwitting mules by placing containers with

One motorist spotted the containers
while pumping gas after crossing into

thought it might be a bomb. His call to

response, and then a shocker: 13
pounds of heroin were packed inside.
There have been four such incidents

ble, said current AT&T California

President Ken McNeely, who snapped a
selfie with the old black handheld.
Fast forward to today when we hold all
knowledge of human kind in the palm
of our hands with smartphones, weve
come a long way.
The original phones will be on display at the California Historical
Society as part of its City Rising: San
Francisco and the 1915 World Fair
exhibition that opens on Feb. 22.
That first call was made by Alexander
Graham Bell in New York to his assistant Thomas Watson who was attending the Worlds Fair in San Francisco.
Graham Bell had invented the phone a
few decades earlier.
Listening in were President
Woodrow Wilson in Washington, and
Theodore Vail, president of American
Telephone and Telegraph Co. in
Georgia.
According to the transcript of that
call, Bells first words were Ahoy!
Ahoy! Mr. Watson, are you there? Do
you hear me? to which Watson
replied Yes, Mr. Bell, I hear you perfectly.
The call actually lasted about 3 1/2
hours as they kept the line open for a
series of conversations. And unlike
today, there was no such thing as
unlimited talk time for a set price.
The cost of a three-minute coast-tocoast call in 1915 was about $20
which translates into about $500 in
current dollars.

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Highlighting life and new residents at one

of the states largest transit-oriented developments will take shape Friday as Bay
Meadows hosts a photography exhibit created by everyday shutterbugs.
The four-hour pop-up exhibit Fame by
Frame will showcase life in 2014 at San
Mateos fastest growing community
through the lenses of those who shared their
Bay Meadows pictures through social
media.
One hundred finalists were chosen out of
more than 1,200 photographs submitted on
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and email
under the hashtag BayMeadowsLife.
Photographs ranging from excited children to sunsets backdropping a Caltrain station will be displayed for one night only at
the Bay Meadows Welcome Center between
5 p.m. and 9 p.m.
The public is encouraged to attend and
vote, as the fans choice will receive a $500
grand prize, Bay Meadows spokeswoman
Maureen Futtner wrote in an email.
As Bay Meadows welcomes new residents and San Mateo in general sees new
shops and more great restaurants open and

cool events taking place, we wanted to visually capture a year in the life of this special
place, Futtner said.
The entire 160 acres of the former race
track next to Highway 101 between the
Hillsdale Caltrain station and 25th Avenue
has been transformed over the last decade
and is continuing to become home to hundreds of residents.
While the photo exhibit seeks to illustrate life at Bay Meadows, the sites first
rental residents have also begun to move in.
Field House, a 108-unit apartment community at 282 Pony Lane, is the first forlease residential offering with about 10
units having been occupied as of this
month, Futtner said. Nearly a dozen more
units will be move-in ready in the coming
month, Futtner said.
Field House is comprised of studios and
one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments as
well as two-bedroom townhomes. A 580square-foot studio is running between
$2,700 to $2,900 per month while a three-

bedroom, two-bath apartment between

1,360 and 1,620 square feet ranges from
$4,875 to $5,200 per month.
In total, Bay Meadows will become home
to more than 1,100 residences, 750,000
square feet of office space, 93,000 square
feet of retail space and 18 acres of parks.
Development of the former race track was
broken into two phases and includes the
new Kaiser Permanente medical center,
Whole Foods Market, Franklin Templeton
headquarters, San Mateo police station and
the private Nueva School.
Fridays event will serve as a unique
opportunity for the public and Bay
Meadows residents to meet and mingle at
the Welcome Center, which will boast cocktails by downtowns Mortar & Pestle, poetry and live art.
Bay Meadows has always been about
involving the public, Futtner said. So
Fame by Frame is right in line with welcoming not only residents, but the greater community to have fun and enjoy
#BayMeadowsLife.
Fame to Frame is 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday
at the Bay Meadows Welcome Center, 380 E.

UC regents shelve policy tying coach bonuses to academics

By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The University of

Californias governing board tabled a policy
on Thursday that would have made the public
college system the nations second to tie
bonuses awarded to winning athletic coaches
to how well their players do in the classroom.
The new policy approved by UC President
Janet Napolitano last month would have
made coaches ineligible for lucrative incentive payouts if their intercollegiate sports
teams failed to meet certain minimum academic standards. The University of Maryland
adopted the same compensation provision in
the fall.
The California policy also would have
applied to campus athletic directors and was
set to take effect this week but ran into oppo-

sition on Thursday. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom

and some other members of the universitys
Board of Regents argued that the academic
performance standard underlying the policy
was not ambitious enough since all but one
of UCs Division 1 teams already meets it.
The reform, it seems to me, is a bit modest at best. In fact, it is a bit illusory,
Newsom said. We are doing almost nothing
here under the illusion that we are doing
something.
Newsom specifically faulted the policy for
using the same cutoff score for satisfactory
academic performance that the National
Collegiate Athletic Association already uses
to determine how many hours teams can practice, how many scholarships they can award,
and whether they can compete in the postseason.
By reserving the most lucrative bonuses
for a teams athletic prowess and relying on

the NCAAs academic eligibility benchmark,

the new rule does not give coaches any real
additional incentive to make sure their players are succeeding academically, he argued.
Dan Guerrero, athletic director at UCLA,
cautioned against what he said would be the
unintended consequences of the University of
California setting a standard higher than the
NCAAs. Sports agents might insist on higher salaries for their coach clients.

consider to what extent the proceeds of the HECM

could provide a solution to any such nancial difculties. For borrowers who do not demonstrate
their willingness to meet their loan obligations, life
expectancy set-asides will be required.
The mortgagee letter also species documents that
must be collected and submitted to all borrowers. The
documentation has been updated to include Financial

A reverse mortgage is a loan that enable

homeowners 62 or older to borrow against the
equity in their home without having to give up
title, or take on a monthly mortgage payment.
The money received can be used for any purpose.
The loan amount depends on the borrowers age,
current interest rates, and the value of the home.
Borrower must maintain property as primary
residence and remain current on property taxes
and homeowners insurance. A reverse mortgage
does not have to be repaid until the borrower
sells or moves out of the home permanently,
and the repayment amount cannot exceed the
value of the home. After the loan is repaid any
remaining equity is distributed to the borrower or
the borrowers estate.

GOP pushes abortion bill through

House on March for Life Day
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON With thousands of

abortion protesters swarming the city
in their annual March for Life,
Republicans muscled broadened abortion restrictions through the House on
Thursday after a GOP rebellion forced
leaders into an awkward retreat on an
earlier version.
By a near party-line 242-179 vote,
the House voted to permanently forbid
federal funds for most abortion coverage. The bill would also block tax credits for many people and employers
who buy abortion coverage under
President Barack Obamas health care
overhaul.
A White House veto threat and an
uncertain fate in the Senate mean the
legislation has no realistic chance of
becoming law. But on a day when
crowds of anti-abortion demonstrators
stretched for blocks outside Capitol
windows and hours after the embarrassing GOP stumble on another abortion measure Thursdays vote let
party leaders signal that the Congress
they now command is at least trying to
end abortion.
The GOPs passage of one bill and
the abrupt derailment of another forbidding most late-term abortions
underscored the partys perilous balancing act of backing abortion restrictions crucial to conservatives while
not alienating women and younger
voters wary of such restrictions.
Obama, out West to promote his
State of the Union economic agenda,
embraced the same 1973 Supreme
Court decision legalizing abortion
that the protesters were vilifying.
He said that decision reaffirms a

Powerful New York politician
arrested on bribery charges
NEW YORK Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who
bent state government to his will for more than 20 years as
one of New Yorks most powerful and
canny politicians, was arrested Thursday
on charges of taking nearly $4 million in
payoffs and kickbacks.
The 70-year-old Democrat was taken
into custody by the FBI on federal conspiracy and bribery charges that carry up
to 100 years in prison and could cost him
his political seat. He was released on
Sheldon Silver $200,000 bail.
U. S. Attorney Preet Bharara said
Silver, a lawyer by training, lined up jobs at two firms and
then accepted large sums of money over more than a decade
in exchange for using his titanic power to do political
favors. The money was disguised as referral fees, Bharara
said.

fundamental American value: that government should not intrude in our most
private and personal family matters.
He said the House-passed bill would
intrude on womens reproductive freedom and access to health care and
unnecessarily restrict the private
insurance choices that consumers have
today.
Republican House Speaker John
Boehner of Ohio praised the marchers
in a written statement that also seemed
to acknowledge discord among
Republicans.
This march is part of a longer one,
and our destination is clear: to secure
and protect the rights of every unborn
child. When there is disagreement, we
should pause and listen closely. When
there is movement, we should rejoice,
and the Houses vote to ban taxpayer

funding of abortion is cause for doing

so, he said.
Even so, the GOP sidetracking of the
late-term abortion measure sparked
grumbling from politically potent
allies.
In a sharp statement that singled out
Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., and others, National Right to Life President
Carol Tobias criticized GOP dissenters
on the late-term bill and warned,
Some of these lawmakers may ultimately conclude that they were ill
advised to sacrifice the trust of their
pro-life constituents so egregiously.
Ellmers, who has had a strong antiabortion voting record, was among
those who had objected to portions of
the late-term abortion bill. Her
spokeswoman, Blair Ellis, declined to
comment.

King Abdullah has died,

Prince Salman successor
By Aya Batrawy
and Abdullah Al-Shihri
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Saudi

Arabias King Abdullah, the powerful U.S. ally who fought al-Qaida
and sought to modernize the ultraconservative Muslim kingdom,
including by nudging open greater
opportunities for women, has died.
He was 90.
A royal court statement said the
king died at 1 a.m. on Friday. His
successor was announced as 79year-old half-brother, Prince
Salman, a Royal Court statement
carried on the Saudi Press Agency
said.
Salman was Abdullahs crown
prince and had recently taken on
some of the ailing kings responsibilities. The 69 year-old Prince
Muqrin, a former head of intelligence in Saudi Arabia and halfbrother to both Salman and
Abdullah, was announced as the
kingdoms crown prince.
More than his guarded predecessors, Abdullah who ascended to
the throne in 2005 assertively
threw his oil-rich nations weight

behind trying
to shape the
Middle
East.
His priority was
to counter the
influence
of
rival, mainly
Shiite
Iran
wherever it tried
to
make
Prince Salman advances. He
and
fellow
Sunni Arab monarchs also
staunchly opposed the Middle
Easts wave of pro-democracy
uprisings, seeing them as a threat
to stability and their own rule.
Regionally, perhaps Abdullahs
biggest priority was to confront
Iran, the Shiite powerhouse across
the Gulf. He backed Sunni Muslim
factions against Tehrans allies in
several countries, where colliding
ambitions stoked proxy conflicts
around the region that enflamed
Sunni-Shiite hatreds most horrifically in Syrias civil war, where
the two countries backed opposing
sides. Those conflicts in turn
hiked Sunni militancy that
returned to threaten Saudi Arabia.
Abdullah was selected as crown

prince in 1982 on the day his halfbrother Fahd ascended to the
throne. He became de facto ruler in
1995 when a stroke incapacitated
Fahd. Abdullah was believed to
have long rankled at the closeness
of the alliance with the United
States, and as regent he pressed
Washington to withdraw the

League to approve an unprecedented offer that all Arab states would

agree to peace with Israel if it withdrew from lands it captured in
1967. Alarmed by the prospect of a
rift, President George W. Bush

U.S., Cuba move toward embassies, disagree on human rights

HAVANA The United States
and Cuba closed two days of historic talks in Havana with some
progress toward restoring diplomatic ties after a half-century of
estrangement, but sharp differences over the role of human
rights in their new relationship.

As a central element of our

policy, we pressed the Cuban
government for improved human
rights conditions, including freedom of expression, said Roberta
Jacobson, the top U.S. diplomat
for Latin America and most senior
American official to visit the
island country in more than three
decades. In Spanish, however, her

statement said the U. S. pressured Cuba on the issue.

Cuba has never responded to
pressure, Josefina Vidal, Cubas
top diplomat for U. S. affairs,
responded.
The comments by Jacobson and
Vidal reflected longstanding
positions of their governments
and it wasnt immediately clear

whether the issue, which has previously blocked closer U. S. Cuban relations, would pose a
threat to the new diplomatic
process.
Yet it laid bare the pressures
each side faces at home the
U.S., from Republican leaders in
Congress and powerful CubanAmerican groups and Cuba, from

hardliners deeply concerned that

rapprochement could undermine
the communist system founded by
Fidel Castro.
In the first face-to-face talks
since last months declaration of
detente, the two countries laid out
a detailed agenda for re-establishing full diplomatic relations.
Further talks were planned.

Iraq coalition tensions emerge in IS fight

By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
and Vivian Salama
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Iraqi commanders heavily

dependent on outside support to defeat the
Islamic State group are increasingly voicing
frustration over the U.S.-led coalitions
efforts, complaining of miscommunication,
failed deliveries of weapons, inadequate
training and differences in strategy.
Speaking to the Associated Press this
week, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi
said, We want to see an acceleration of the
training, acceleration of the delivery of
arms from foreign allies. Al-Abadi complained that Iraq is left almost alone to get
these arms and munitions for the army, for
our fighters, and we expect much more.
At the same time, he reiterated that his
government does not want any foreign boots
on the ground, and he acknowledged that
coalition airstrikes had been very, very
effective.
Leaders of the coalition stressed its successes at a London meeting Thursday, with
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry saying
that nearly 2,000 airstrikes had helped
ground forces retake 700 square kilometers
(270 square miles) of territory, kill 50 percent of Islamic State commanders and choked

off some of the groups oil revenue.
But three Iraqi generals who spoke to the
AP on condition of anonymity because they
are not authorized to discuss ongoing operations said the U.S. has on several occasions
ignored guidance from Iraqi commanders and
has failed to provide ample training and
weapons to Iraqs beleaguered forces.

Whenever we complain about the poor

training they provided us, they remind us
that it was Iraq who forced them to leave in
2011, one of the generals said.
The generals noted, by contrast, Irans
willingness to quickly accommodate their
urgent needs for weapons and training, while
the coalition makes them wait.

Yemens U.S.-backed president quits; country could split apart

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen Yemens U.S.-backed

president quit Thursday under pressure from
rebels holding him captive in his home,
severely complicating American efforts to
combat al-Qaidas powerful local franchise
and raising fears that the Arab worlds poorest
country will fracture into mini-states.
Presidential officials said Abed Rabbo
Mansour Hadi submitted his resignation to
parliament rather than make further conces-

sions to Shiite rebels,

known as Houthis, who
control the capital and are
widely believed to be
backed by Iran.
The prime minister and
his cabinet also stepped
down, making a thinly
veiled reference to the
Houthis push at gunAbed Hadi
point for a greater share
of power. Houthis deployed their fighters

around parliament, which is due to discuss the

situation on Sunday.
Yemeni law dictates that the parliament
speaker Yahia al-Rai, a close ally of former
autocratic ruler Ali Abdullah Saleh will
now assume the presidency. Saleh still wields
considerable power and is widely believed to
be allied with the Houthis.
There were conflicting reports suggesting
that authorities in Aden, the capital of southern region of Yemen, would no longer submit
to the central governments authority.

Obama to pass on meeting
Netanyahu during Washington visit
WASHINGTON Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahus planned trip to
Washington in March is
kicking up a diplomatic
dust storm in the nations
capital.
On Thursday, the White
House said President
Barack Obama would not
meet the prime minister
when he comes to the
Barack Obama U.S. to address a joint
session of Congress. The
official White House explanation was that
Netanyahus visit fell too close to the Israeli
election and the Obama administration wanted to avoid the appearance of taking sides.
As a matter of longstanding practice and
principle, we do not see heads of state or candidates in close proximity to their elections,
so as to avoid the appearance of influencing
a democratic election in a foreign country,
National Security Council spokeswoman
Bernadette Meehan said.

Japan faces deadline to

free Islamic State hostages
TOKYO The deadline for paying ransom
for two Japanese hostages held by the Islamic
State group was fast approaching early Friday
with no signs of a breakthrough.
With time running short, the mother of one
of the hostages, journalist Kenji Goto,
appealed for an end to hatred and destruction.
My son is not an enemy of the Islamic
State, Junko Ishido said in a tearful appearance in Tokyo. She said she was astonished to
learn from her daughter-in-law that she had a
newborn baby, and said the child needs his
father. In very Japanese fashion, she apologized repeatedly for all the trouble my son
has caused.
The status of efforts to free the two men was
unclear, with hours to go before the presumed
deadline.

pared statement.
Under Christensen, district schools,
teachers and staff won various awards for
outstanding scholastic achievement, such
as Adelante Spanish Immersion School,
Orion Alternative School and North Star
Academy winning recognition as California
Distinguished Schools by the state
Department Of Education, according to a
district report.
I am so proud of the creative and rigorous
work I see in our classrooms, and the dedication of each and every employee, she said.
I look forward to hearing about great
achievements by RCSD graduates in the
future.
The Association of California School
Administrators named her the 2013 superintendent of the year in region five, which
covers San Mateo and San Francisco counties.
Despite her successes in leading the district, Christensens tenure was not without
its contentious moments.
The proposal to add two charter schools to
the district last summer pitted some parents
against the administration, over concerns
that the new schools might divert money
away from district students.
Christensen drew the ire of some parents
when she recommended to adopt KIPP Bay
Area Schools and Rocketship Education
into the district, under the justification that
the district could not deny the charter
schools admission on the grounds of financial hardship.
Melissa Haussler, a Redwood City resident
and parent of students in the district, spoke
during the public comment portion of a
school board discussion about the charter
schools, and suggested that Christensen
step down as superintendent.
Haussler said she appreciated what
Christensen had accomplished for the local
schools, especially the superintendents
ability to raise money for the district, and
lead with a limited budget.
But she also said she is ready to see the
district chart a fresh course.
Shes done a lot for our community, said
Haussler. But its time for new leadership,
new blood and a new direction.
Under Christensen, contract negotiations
with the Redwood City Teachers
Association grew heated in 2013, when educators requested a raise, which would have
been the first of its kind since 2008.
The two sides initially came to an impasse
over the teachers demands, but that was
eventually resolved in June of last year,
when a 3.5 percent rate hike was agreed
upon.
Bret Baird, former teacher union presi-

dent, characterized the negotiations at the

time as rocky, but expressed satisfaction
over the eventual outcome.
Board Vice President Alisa MacAvoy
spoke highly of Christensens ability to
lead the district.
I think Jan has been an excellent superintendent, and Im sorry to see her go said
MacAvoy.
MacAvoy also noted that Christensen
joined the district right as the country suffered an economic downturn, and she
admired the superintendents willingness to
prioritize student welfare at all times,
despite budget hardships.
She always had less money than she
needed, and she always managed to put students first, MacAvoy said.
Board members will formally begin the
process of searching for Christensens
replacement during a closed-session meeting Wednesday, Jan. 28.
MacAvoy
said
she
appreciated
Christensen giving the district so much
advance warning in leading up to beginning
its process to find another superintendent.
There is hope that the district might be
able to find a new superintendent before
Christensens slated July 1 departure, as that
might provide an opportunity to establish a
more seamless transition, said MacAvoy.
Christensens announcement did not come
as a complete surprise to the board, as the
superintendent had recently begun to make
her intent to leave known, said MacAvoy.
She had been talking about it for a little
while, said MacAvoy.
According to a prepared statement,
Christensen plans to form a consulting
practice with her husband Bill, who is a
counselor at Gunn High School in Palo
Alto, focused on serving high school students applying to college.
I really thank her for her nine plus years
of service to the students and staff, said
MacAvoy.

Letters to the editor

Bridge blockade
Editor,
On Monday evening, trafc was
brought to a standstill on the San
Mateo Bridge. This was not due to a
horrendous crash or a cataclysmic
natural disaster, but rather a group of
self important Stanford students.
These privileged young people from a
prestigious university took it upon
themselves to take thousands of commuters hostage to publicize their
cause du jour.
With no regard for the lives of thousands of motorist, they foisted their
signs and began their chant for the
few dozen people who were trapped
within earshot of these morally and
intellectually superior juveniles. I
was conned with my family several
hundred feet from the blockade, so I
was not privy to the ever so important announcements. While trapped
on the shoulderless portion of the
elevated span, I explained to my 10year old son that what these people
were doing was not protected by the
Constitution that my fellow soldiers
have sworn to protect. These naive
young people had no idea of the hardship they have inicted upon the tens
of thousands of commuters who had
to endure the consequences of this
criminal act. How many ights,
birthday dinners, family gatherings
and other important events were
missed due to this mob? How many
collisions, medical emergencies and
thousands of lost hours were the
direct result of the actions of these
criminals? And when my young child
was forced to urinate in a discarded
beverage container I was moved to
anger.
Having spent more than 20 years
risking my life to protect the people
of this great nation, I was outraged
that these pompous children were
comfortable holding myself and my
family against our will. This unnecessary incident reects the selshness
of a group of people who have no
regard for the lives of others. I can
only hope that the judicial system of
San Mateo County will represent the
thousands of people who were victimized by the Stanford 68.

explores campaign nance regulation
update the Jan. 19 edition of the
Daily Journal), I would encourage the
City Council to hold on to the limits
it set back in 2009. In this age of outsized contributions leading to
bought-and-paid-for elections (and
candidates), these limits represent an
important benchmark and would
remain a strong statement in favor of
letting people decide who is the best
candidate, not just who can afford to
advertise the most.
Too often that candidate represents
the voices of wealthy interests with
only their own benet in mind, as
opposed to that of the larger populace. The voice of the rest of us is
drowned out. Might someone who
abhors campaign nance limits bring
legal action? Perhaps, and while I
would understand if the Belmont City
Council backed down in order to save
its resources from large legal fees, I
would also relish seeing the names of
those taking said legal action in
these pages for all of the Daily
Journals readers to see.

Regarding
Belmont zoning changes
Editor,
After reading the letter submitted by
Belmont Planning Commissioner
Kristin Mercer, I must applaud her for
having the strength, foresight and
gumption to stand up for what she feels
is correct (Belmont zoning changes
in the Jan. 20 edition of the Daily
Journal).
The city of Millbrae needs to have
people like her on the City Council
and Planning Commission. Instead,
Millbrae has a group of spineless puppets who cave and give into anyone
who is willing to issue promises and
show them money. Millbrae allowed
the Tai Wu restaurant with a capacity,
over 200 patrons, to be built without
parking or nal building plans. Tai Wu
rented parking space from Burger King
and True Value Hardware store to
appease the Planning Commission and
the citizens in the surrounding neighborhood, who complained they could
not park in front of their own houses.
So what has happened? The patrons
still park in the surrounding neighborhood and in front of other businesses.
This results in other businesses losing
patronage from lack of parking, and
residents who still cannot park in front
of their homes. Maybe, had the planners and councilmembers taken a rm
stand and not buckled to the whims and
cries of Tai Wu owners, the long-established businesses and homeowners
wouldnt be hurting for parking.
Kristin, hold your ground and try to
convince other Belmont city ofcials
to see the damage that will occur if
they allow in-law apartments and
converted garages to be turned into
additional living areas. Indeed,
Belmont will become a city over run
with additional renters and vehicles.

Seton sale to Prime

best for community
By Herminigildo Valle

s chief of the medical staff at Seton Medical

Center and Seton Coastside, and speaking on
behalf of Setons medical executive committee,
I am proud to say that the physicians of Seton and Seton
Coastside are united in their support for the purchase of
Seton, Seton Coastside and other
Daughters of Charity Health System
facilities by Prime Healthcare
Services.
A year ago, the board of the
Daughters of Charity Health System
made the difficult but unavoidable
decision to sell its hospitals and
facilities. For more than 150 years,
these facilities have been among the
means by which the Daughters of Charity have provided
care to the sick and the poor of California.
Unfortunately, given the economic realities of 21st-century health care, the Daughters can no longer financially
support their hospitals and the enormous monetary
losses they are incurring.
Bearing in mind the needs of their patients and communities, DCHS conducted a thorough search for a buyer
for their acute care hospitals and medical foundation.
After careful review, Prime Healthcare was selected as
the buyer for DCHS.
As chief of medical staff and on behalf of the Medical
Executive Committee and the entire medical staff of
Seton Medical Center and Seton Coastside, we strongly
endorse and support the purchase of Seton Medical
Center and Seton Coastside by Prime Healthcare
Services. We have communicated our position to
California Attorney General Kamala Harris who must
approve the sale.
We believe this transaction is vital to the continued
health and well-being of our communities and to our
continued commitment to the Daughters of Charitys
legacy of service to the sick and the poor. It is also
vital to the well-being and employment of our union
members, our nurses and other colleagues with whom we
physicians have worked side by side throughout the
years.
As physicians with a deep investment to the health of
our communities, we are deeply concerned about the dire
consequences if our sale is not approved. The hospitals,
which have provided a safety net for many in our communities, could file bankruptcy and close. The end result
of bankruptcy and closure are clear: community access
to essential health care services will be gravely compromised. Thousands of jobs will be lost. In the case of
Seton Medical Center, the largest employer in Daly
City, and Seton Coastside, that loss is in excess of
1,300 jobs. That is a devastating blow to our colleagues
who work here, to their families and to the local economy.
With due diligence and in the spirit of collaboration,
members of the medical staff leadership have met with
leadership from the Service Employees International
Union and listened carefully to their concerns and their
alternative proposal for the purchase of DCHS. We have
considered their issues and proposal with an open mind.
However, after thorough and objective analysis, we have
determined without a doubt, that what they propose is
not a viable option.
Prime Healthcare can extend our mission of care, preserve employee and retiree pensions, invest in capital
improvements and maintain charity care policies. They
have financial strength and stability for future operations, as well as experience in managing hospitals in
California.
As physicians sincerely committed to the welfare of
all those we serve, we are convinced that Prime
Healthcare will be bound by their commitment to Seton
and Setons physicians in delivering excellent and highquality care.
We are joined by our peers at other DCHS hospitals in
seeking the approval of Attorney General Harris for this
transaction. This is the only moral and realistic option
that will serve the greatest good for those who will be
most affected by your decision and will determine the
welfare of future generations.
Herminigildo Valle, M.D., M.P.A., is the chief of staff,
Seton Medical Center and Seton Coastside.

NEW YORK A plan to revive

Europes sagging economy rippled
through the financial world on
Thursday, setting off a rally in the stock
market that wiped out its losses for the
year.
The pledge by the European Central
Bank to spend 1.1 trillion euros on
bonds knocked down government borrowing rates across Europe and drove
the euro to its lowest level against the
dollar in 11 years. For investors, the
long wait for action in Europe was over.
Its all about the ECB today, said
Jeff Kravetz, regional investment
strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth
Management. This is a very positive
development. They have a reputation of
overpromising and under-delivering,
and today they delivered.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
jumped 31.03 points, or 1.5 percent, to
close at 2,063.15. That nudged it into
positive territory for the year, up 0.2
percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed 259.70 points, or 1.5 percent,
to 17,813.98 while the Nasdaq climbed
82.98 points, or 1.8 percent, to
4,750.40.
The ECB announced Thursday that it
would start buying 60 billion euros

worth of government and private bonds

every month, slightly more than what
many in the markets anticipated. The
central bank said the program will run
18 months, from this March until
September of next year, but left open
the option of extending the program if
necessary.
That wiggle room is crucial, said
Joseph Quinlan, chief market strategist
at U.S. Trust. Turning around an economy often takes longer than people
think. The Federal Reserve launched its
first bond-buying effort at the end of
2008 and kept expanding it over the
following years.
The biggest positive is that it
appears to be open-ended, Quinlan
said. As we learned in the U.S., it takes
time for this to work.
Major markets in Europe ended the
day with solid gains. Germanys DAX
rose 1.3 percent and Frances CAC-40
gained 1.5 percent. Britains FTSE 100
picked up 1 percent.
Prices for government bonds across
Europe jumped, pushing yields to
record lows. The yield on the 10-year
German bond hit 0.39 percent.
Borrowing costs for governments in
France, Italy and other countries also
reached new lows.
Its hard not to see this as a positive,
but there will be lingering doubts, said
Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at the Bank of Tokyo, in a note to

clients. Is there even enough debt for

them to buy?
The euro fell further against the U.S.
dollar on Thursday, reaching $1.13.
The euro hasnt been that cheap since
September 2003, according to FactSet
data. A weakened euro makes European
goods cheaper, which could help boost
exports from the region and lift inflation from dangerously low levels.
The dollar index, which measures the
greenback against a basket of major
currencies, climbed 1.6 percent, putting it up 4.6 percent for the month.
A strong dollar has its drawbacks,
especially for big U.S. corporations
that depend on overseas sales. It raises
prices for U.S. products in foreign
countries, and means the revenue that
U.S. companies collect in other currencies translates into fewer dollars when
they bring the money home. A strong
dollar, in other words, can pinch profits. For companies in the S&P 500
index, roughly half of total revenue
comes from outside the United States.
The strong dollar, for example, hurt
Johnson & Johnson in the fourth quarter, and triggered a sell-off in its shares
on Tuesday.
Big-name companies turning in
results on Thursday were spared damage
from currency fluctuations, however.
Southwest Airlines reported higher
quarterly profit and revenue than Wall
Street expected.

Apples CEO Tim Cook gets hefty bonus for 2014

By Brandon Bailey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Apple CEO Tim

Cook got a hefty cash bonus that brought
his total compensation to $9.2 million last
year. Thats more than double what he
received the previous year, as the company
enjoyed a surge in sales and profit fueled by
the popularity of its new, over-sized iPhone
6 models.
Cooks pay for fiscal 2014 included $1.7
million in salary and $6.7 million in incentive pay that was awarded by Apples board
after he beat the performance goals that
directors had set for him, according to a regulatory filing Thursday. He also received
$774,176 in other compensation, includ-

ing a 401k contribution,

company-paid insurance
premiums and security
expenses.
Apple reported $182.8
billion in revenue for the
fiscal year that ended
Sept. 27 and $39.5 billion in profit, after seeing record sales last fall.
Tim Cook
Sales of iPhones rose 21
percent in the companys fourth quarter,
which made up for a decline in sales of
iPads. Apples annual revenue has increased
in each of the last three years.
Cook and the companys other top officers were awarded the maximum bonus possible under Apples incentive plan, after the

companys annual revenue and $52.5 billion in operating profit each exceeded the
plans maximum goals by 7 percent, the filing said.
The Associated Press calculates an executives total compensation by counting
salary, bonuses, perks, stock and options
awarded during the year.
Despite his bonus, Apples CEO collected
less than the companys four other top officers, all of whom garnered sizable stock
awards. The highest paid was Senior Vice
President Angela Ahrendts, the former CEO
at luxury goods maker Burberry who was
hired in May to run Apples retail operations. Her $73 million pay package included a hiring bonus of $33 million in restricted Apple stock grants and another $37 mil-

Jobless aid applications drop for first time in four weeks

By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The number of

Americans seeking unemployment benefits
fell last week for the first time in a month, a
sign that layoffs remain low and hiring is
probably still healthy.
The Labor Department says that weekly
applications dropped 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 307,000. The decline comes
after applications spiked the previous week
to a seven-month high.
Most of the volatility reflects widespread
layoffs of temporary employees hired by
retailers, restaurants and other companies
for the winter holidays. The government

seeks to adjust the data for those seasonal

trends, but doesnt always do so perfectly.
Applications have been near or below
300,000 since September, a historically
low level that suggests companies are cutting few workers. Instead, strong economic
growth in the spring and summer has
encouraged employers to add more jobs.
Through the volatility, claims are up a
little recently, Jim OSullivan, chief U.S.
economist at High Frequency Economics,
said in a note to clients. The rise is too
small to date to signal an uptrend, but the
data merit watching.

almost the same as last weeks figure.
Job gains averaged 246, 000 a month

last year, the most in 15 years.

Some companies are announcing large
layoffs. American Express said Wednesday
that it is cutting 4,000 jobs, or about 6 percent of its workforce.
Even with the recent increases, applications are still lower than a year ago. The
four-week average, a less volatile measure,
rose to 307,000. That is 8.5 percent lower
than 12 months earlier.
The decline in layoffs has been matched
by an increase in hiring.
Employers added 252, 000 jobs last
month, topping off the best year for hiring
in 15 years. The economy gained nearly 3
million jobs last year, helping to push
down the unemployment rate to a six-year
low of 5.6 percent.

McDonalds faces employee lawsuit over franchisee behavior

By Tom Murphy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Some McDonalds workers who say they

were fired because of their race are suing the
fast-food giant, accusing it of dodging
responsibility for the discrimination and
harassment they say they endured.
The workers said in a federal complaint
filed Thursday that about 15 AfricanAmerican employees of some southern
Virginia restaurants run by Soweva Co. were
fired last May after several white employees
were hired. Many of those fired were told by

Soweva owner Michael Simon that while

they were good workers they didnt fit the
profile he was trying to build for the company, according to the complaint.
The employees said that McDonalds
Corp. controls nearly every aspect of how
franchisees operate restaurants, but corporate officials did nothing when they were
contacted about the dismissals and blatant
racial discrimination.
A statement from McDonalds Corp. said
the company had not seen the lawsuit and
couldnt comment on the allegations, but it
and its franchisees share a commitment to
the well-being and fair treatment of all peo-

ple who work in McDonalds restaurants.

Representatives of Soweva and Simon did
not return calls from the Associated Press
seeking comment.
The workers said in the complaint that
before they were fired, restaurant supervisors frequently demeaned African-American
workers by using terms like ghetto to
describe them and by complaining that
there were too many black people in the
store. The complaint also states that
female employees were inappropriately
touched by a male supervisor who also sent
them naked photos and offered better working conditions in exchange for sex.

lion in restricted stock grants that Apple

said were intended to compensate for
Burberry stock that she forfeited on leaving
her old job.
While Cooks total pay has increased for
the last two years, it still pales against the
$378 million in cash and stock grants he
was awarded when he took the CEO job in
2011.
Apple reported the compensation figures
in advance of its annual shareholder meeting on March 10. The company also
announced that board member Millard
Mickey Drexler, will retire when his term
expires at that meeting. Drexler, 70, is CEO
of J. Crew and former CEO of the Gap retail
chain. Apple said a replacement has not
been nominated.

Business brief
No quick fix for battery
anxiety but plenty of workarounds
NEW YORK At a cozy watering hole in
Brooklyns Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, bartender Kathy Conway counted four
different phone chargers behind the bar.
Call it the scourge of the red zone or battery
anxiety. Smartphone users are tired of begging to charge devices behind bars or hunting
for outlets in airports and train stations.
Where, oh where, is a better battery?
The common lithium-ion battery used to
power laptops, cellphones and tablet computers has improved in recent years. Battery
capacity has tripled since 1990, says K. M.
Abraham, a professor at Northeastern
University who researches batteries. But its
not nearly enough to keep up with the needs
of gadget addicts who demand thin, lightweight mobile devices and use them constantly.
Two billion mobile phones were shipped
worldwide in 2014, 75 percent of which were
smartphones, says the longtime technology
analyst and president of Creative Strategies,
Tim Bajarin. Demand is growing by 10 to 12
percent each year. And all those users want to
send email, play games and stream music and
videos all battery hogs.
We are reaching the limit of what a good
battery material can do, Abraham says.
Going beyond what we have now is taking a
new understanding of chemistry, material science ... People are working all over the world
on it, but there is nothing on the horizon.

Gordon to retire after 2015

By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jeff Gordon, with a nagging back injury, a

young family he wanted to spend more time
with and a phenom waiting in the wings at
Hendrick Motorsports, knew midway
through last season that he had one more
year in him.
NASCARs most charismatic driver, the
man behind the wheel of the famed and sometimes feared No. 24, had decided it was time to
call it quits on one of the most successful
careers in motorsports history. The four-time
BRIAN BLANCO/REUTERS champion conferred with Rick Hendrick, the
NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon announced only team owner he has had over 23 years of
Thursday he will retire after the 2015 season. Sprint Cup racing, and settled on a date.

The 43-year-old Gordon announced

Thursday that 2015 will be his final season
as a full-time driver, saddening legions of
fans, fellow drivers and others who watched
him became the face of stock car racing as
the sport exploded in popularity a generation ago.
In an interview with The Associated Press,
Gordon said he reached his decision last
summer. He had seen other drivers embark
on distracting farewell tours, and he didnt
want to be that guy. Although he told his
crew chief of his decision after narrowly
missing out on shot at a fifth championship, it took time to settle on the day to
tell the world.
It started with a conversation with his two

young children when they woke up for

school. They worried they wont go to the
race track anymore, that other kids might
think of them differently if their father is
not a famous race car driver.
The conversation with Ella and Leo made
the decision a reality for Gordon and he
wept.
Ella just stared at me, shed never seen
me cry like that before, Gordon told AP.
After that, I seriously broke down. It hit me
like a ton of bricks, and I got so emotional
and thought, How am I going to get
through this day?

Half Moon Bays Khalil Droubi works an arm bar for an eventual pin of El Caminos Tyler Mercado in the 140-pound division Thursday night
under the lights at El Camino. Half Moon Bay went on to score a 56-21 victory to improve to 2-0 in the PAL Bay Division.

Cougars take down Colts

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Two of the big three from the Peninsula

Athletic League Bay Division wrestling circuit clashed Thursday night as Half Moon
Bay scored a 56-21 win at El Camino.
The Cougars won 10 of the 14 individual
matches under El Caminos newly added spotlight in the round, including eight by way of
pin. The Cougars Hugo Plancarte, Jim Alves,
Ricky Camacho, Marcos Sarabia and David
Corona strung together falls in each of the
final five matches to close out a dominant
Half Moon Bay performance.
The dual-meet win leaves Half Moon Bay
(2-0) in great shape in the PAL Bay Division.
With three matches remaining in the fivemeet league season, the toughest test remaining for the Cougars comes in their season

finale against Terra Nova the other Bay

Division frontrunner on Feb. 12.
We thought it was going to be a lot closer, Half Moon Bay head coach Tom Baker
said of Thursdays meet. We got a lot of
upsets tonight.
The unexpected heroes got the five-match
winning streak started, with Half Moon Bay
moving two wrestlers up in weight class to
fill out its roster. Plancarte, a 160-pounder,
was reassigned to the 170-pound class. Alves
moved from 170-pounds to the 184-pound
class.
Then Camacho emerged in the 197-pound
match for the first varsity win of his career.
The freshman was promoted from the froshsoph ranks earlier this year and was defeated
in his varsity debut. Against El Caminos
Bilguun Khishigbat, Camacho fell behind 40 early in the first round. But a quick reversal

changed the tide, as Camacho scored a quick

two points followed by a pin.
El Camino got solid performances from its
own individual big by Christian Diokno,
Roman Reich and Alec Goff. Aside from a win
by resignation in the 108-pound division to
open the meet, Diokno, Reich and Goff
accounted for the only El Camino victories of
the evening.
Diokno won a gritty match over Emilio
Bautista in the 126-pound class. The Colts
senior is the two-time defending PAL champion in the 115-pound class, and is currently
ranked third in the Central Coast Conference
and 23rd in the state for the 120-pound class.
He took first place in the 126-pound class
earlier this season in El Caminos opening
tournament at Half Moon Bay.

Central Coast Section commissioner

Nancy Lazenby Blaser handed down her ruling Thursday for the Serra football team's
decision to withdraw from the CCS
OpenDivision consolation championship
game against Milpitas Dec. 5.
CCS did not give the Padres a slap on the
wrist.
A CCS press release said the Serra varsity
football will be banned from the CCS playoffs for the 2015 and 2016 seasons, all other
teams at every level will be on probation
through the end of the 2015-16 athletic season and the school will have to pay $6,000
in restitution for the canceled game.
[Serra] knowingly decided to disregard its
commitment to complete scheduled competitions. This decision caused Serra to violate
the bylaws of the [California Interscholastic
Federation] and the CCS Board of Managers
and its member schools, Blaser said in a
release of a letter sent to Serras president,
principal and athletic director. Allowing
school leaders to determine that it need not
continue with scheduled competitions when a
school decides that such a competition is not
important enough to play, undermines the
very foundation of an organization like the
CCS, formed by its member schools.
CCS installed a consolation bracket to the
Open Division for the 2014 playoffs. Serra
lost 28-0 to Los Gatos in the first round. In all
other previous seasons, that would have been
the end of the season for the Padres, but the
addition of the consolation bracket meant the
possibility of playing two more games.
After beating Palma 28-14 in the first round of
the consolation bracket, coach Patrick Walsh
made the decision, with the backing of the

S.F. man close to running 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents

By Kristin J. Bender
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A San Francisco man

is one race away from completing seven
marathons in seven days on seven continents.
Tim Durbin is the only American competing
in the World Marathon Challenge that started
last Saturday and ends in Sydney on Friday.
So far, the 31-year-old has run six
marathons, each 26.2 miles, through snow,
rain and jetlag in Antarctica, Chile, Miami,
Madrid, Morocco and Dubai.

In the last 48 hours Ive

slept less than 9 hours and
ran three marathons, he
said in an email earlier this
week. He said most of his
sleep has been on the airplanes between cities with
a few hours spent in hotels
following the races. He did
have one full night of rest
Tim Durbin
after running in Chile and
before heading to Miami.
Durbin added that the biggest challenge has

been the quick turn-around times.

Twice we have done two marathons in 24
hours. Sleep deprivation will likely be a factor
going forward, he said.
So far, the Morocco marathon was the
toughest.
He started running in Marrakech less than 7
hours after he completed the race in Spain.
Durbin is averaging about 5 1/2 hours for
each 26.2-mile marathons.
The race in Morocco took nearly six hours.
Durbin spent roughly $37,000 to participate with 11 others, who are from Brazil,

India, Great Britain, Hong Kong, France,

Finland and Australia.
The World Marathon Challenge is part of a
bigger challenge that Durbin started two years
ago. In 2013, he started logging his miles for
walking, running, cross country skiing and
swimming in order to complete the distance
around the equator 24,901 miles before
2022.
I am just trying to prove to myself that an
average person can do what most others think
is impossible, he said. Its a mental challenge as much as it is physical.

ASPEN, Colo. One of the best snowboarders in the

world was too young to go to the Sochi Olympics a year
ago. So teenager Chloe Kim watched the halfpipe competition in the comfort of her living room while eating popcorn with her family.
She wouldnt have had it any other way.
At 14 now, a year older and a year
wiser, she realizes that kind of pressure
and exposure may have been way too
much for her to handle.
Im glad I wasnt able to go, to be
honest, said Kim, whos one of the
favorites Saturday in the halfpipe final at
the Winter X Games. I just dont think I
was ready.
But she will be by the 2018
Chloe Kim
Pyeongchang Olympics in South Korea,
the country where her parents are from.
Shes actually ready to start dominating the scene now.
In between geometry homework, of course, and teaching
her 2-year-old parrot, Kiwi, how to talk (she proudly proclaims the bird can say, Whatcha doing, Step up and
Tickle, tickle, tickle.).
Kim in many ways is just your ordinary teenager. She
receives a $100 allowance a month from her parents, which
she blows on clothes, and gushes about her recent trip to a
local chocolate factory and making homemade fudge. She
also doesnt particularly care for writing essays for her
ninth-grade English class at her school in Mammoth
Lakes, California.
Watch her drop into the halfpipe, though, and shes far
from typical. Shes the snowboarder with the difficult
tricks, huge air and a smoothness that reminds many of
Kelly Clark, the most decorated female in X Games history.
Kim grew up idolizing Clark, even standing in long lines
just to get her autograph. Kim once rode up a chairlift with
Clark and was so mesmerized, she didnt know what to say.
All I could think was, Im going to get Kelly Clark
powers now, Kim said, laughing.
Clark, a three-time Olympic medalist, is set to hand the
torch off to Kim. Not this year she wants to defend her

Curry tops in NBA All-Star votes Kobe Bryant has

By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pau and Marc Gasol have been voted the

first brothers to start in the NBA All-Star
game, while Torontos Kyle Lowry made a late
surge in fan balloting and will start for the
Eastern Conference.
Lowry passed Dwyane Wade and will start
alongside Washingtons John Wall, the first
time the East has had two first-time starters at
guard since 2000.
Golden States Stephen Curry made his own
late surge to pass LeBron James as the overall
leading vote-getter, the league announced
Thursday. Kobe Bryant was also voted to start
at West guard, though thats in jeopardy
because of a torn right rotator cuff.
Pau Gasol of Chicago will start up front for
the East along with James and Carmelo
Anthony for the Feb. 15 game in New York.
Memphis Marc Gasol joins New Orleans
Anthony Davis and the Clippers Blake
Griffin in the West frontcourt.
Tom and Dick Van Arsdale played in the
1970 and 1971 games, but the Gasols once
traded for each other are the first brothers to
chosen to start.
Both were among the leaders in all the balloting updates, but Lowry was running more
than 100,000 votes behind Wade, a perennial

Wall earned his first last year, and now hes

Philadelphias Allen Iverson and Charlottes
Eddie Jordan in 2000.
Fans had to vote for two guards and three
frontcourt players. The reserves will be picked
by the head coaches in each conference and be
announced next Thursday.
The star of the NBA-leading Golden State
Warriors, Curry ended up with more than 1.5
million votes, more than 42,000 ahead of
James, who had a 13,285-vote lead over the

starts since Chris Mullin in 1991-92.

torn rotator cuff

By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Kobe Bryant tore his

right rotator cuff in the Los Angeles Lakers
latest defeat, the club announced Thursday.
Bryant injured his right shoulder in the
second half of the Lakers loss at New
Orleans on Wednesday night when he drove
the baseline for a two-handed dunk.
An MRI exam Thursday in San Antonio
revealed the tear, and Bryant headed home to
Los Angeles while the Lakers prepared to
play the Spurs on Friday.
The Lakers declined to speculate on the
severity of the injury, but many rotator cuff
injuries require surgery and several months
of rehabilitation.

New Orleans and played essentially with

Australian Open
By John Pye
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MELBOURNE, Australia Eugenie

Bouchard struggled through a scrappy opening set before getting on top in a 7-5, 6-0
third-round win over Carolina Garcia that
featured 10 breaks of serve on Friday at the
Australian Open.
In the earlier matches, Yanina Wickmayer
beat a seeded player for the second time in
three rounds with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 comeback
win over No. 14 Sara Errani.
Wickmayer, who took out No. 23
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on the first day,

the first man to advance to the fourth round
when he beat Viktor Troicki 6-4, 6-3, 6-4,
and No. 10 Grigor Dimitrov had a tough
third-rounder against 2006 Australian Open
finalist Marcos Baghdatis before winning
4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.

Half Moon Bay set the tone early by winning the first three contested matchups of the
night. EdRey Casmina scored a decisive 12-2
victory over Lemmy Boquiren in the 115pound class. Tristan Keller followed with a
victory in the 122-pound class by pinning
Javis Balestier on a keen reversal in the third
round. Will Fullerton made it three straight
for the Cougars in the 128-pound class with a
10-2 win over Evan Balestier.
The Cougars next two wins were perhaps
their most impressive because of their respective swiftness in response to El Camino
wins. After Diokno earned El Caminos first
win on the mat, Half Moon Bays Khalil
Droubi earned a fast pin of Tyler Mercado on a
first-round arm bar in the 140-pound class.
Then after Reichs win, Chase Lawson
responded with another quick victory for the
Cougars, pinning Omar Valdez in the first
round of the 154-pound match.
After Goffs win, the Cougars didnt drop
another match. Plancarte, Alves and

Camacho set the stage for the heavyweights.

Sarabia scored one of the most creative
falls of the night in the 220-pound match,
pinning Jerell Pelesauma by turning a singleleg takedown into a half nelson. In the final
match of the night, David Corona pinned
Malik Demartha in the 288-pound class.
Sarabia is a fourth-year senior who has
competed at the same 220-pound class since
he was a freshman. The added challenge for
maintaining his weight is he is also a twoway lineman with the Half Moon Bay football team, for which he carries 20 more
pounds than he does as a wrestler.
This year was really tough because I
gained more muscle from football and has
less fat, Sarabia said. (After football season) I just didnt eat much.
For El Camino, next week is something of
a must-win. The Colts take on Terra Nova
under the lights at El Camino next Thursday

crown yet again but down the road.

Shes one of most talented athletes Ive
seen in a long time, Clark said. Shes
amazing now and she has tons of potential.
In years to come, Ill be able to look at
womens snowboarding and know that not
only is it in good hands, but its in the
hands of someone Im proud of.
Thats a lot of pressure to live up to.
Although, Kim insisted shes ready to take
it on. Shes older now she will turn 15 in
April and not that awe-struck 13-year-old

of last year, the one who finished second in

the halfpipe to become the youngest athlete
to earn a medal at Winter X.
Sure, there was a part of her that wanted to
go to Russia had age limits not been in
place. Not so much to compete, but to try
out that mushy halfpipe that led to a lessthan-stellar show in the mountains above
Sochi.
Just to kind of explore how bad a halfpipe could actually get, because I guess
thats how bad it was, said Kim. But
again, I was really glad I wasnt able to go.
Her competitors felt the same way.
Kaitlyn Farrington, who won Olympic gold
in Russia, jokes with Kim that it was a
good thing youre not old enough to go to
the Olympics, because it gives some of us

older ladies a chance.

Shes just amazing, added the 25-yearold Farrington, who recently retired from
snowboard competitions due to a degenerative spine condition. Kelly is still pushing
the sport so much. But Chloe is going to
continue to fight after Kelly. Its great to
watch Chloe. Shes progressing so much.
Kim even has some new tricks shes planning to unveil at Winter X. Any hints?
Top secret, she said. You have to tune
in to find out. But theyre pretty cool.
As for Pyeongchang, shes already looking forward to it.
The timing is perfect, since my parents
are from Korea and Ill be 17, Kim said.
Thats (an age) when youre full of energy.

drive again after this season.

Gordons 92 wins trail only Hall of Fame
drivers Richard Petty (200) and David
Pearson (105). His fame reaches far beyond
the track and resonates with non-sports
fans. He won all the big races, collected four
championships in just seven years and had
58 victories before his 30th birthday.
He was a new breed of driver when he
broke into NASCARs top series, arriving
with a sprint car pedigree and talent that
made him an immediate contender. The
clean-cut kid helped raised NASCARs corporate image beyond its moonshine roots,
making it a legitimate power on Madison
Avenue as tens of thousands of new fans
flocked to automobile racing in the late
1990s and 2000s.
Jeff changed the personality and perception of a race car driver in NASCAR, retired
NASCAR crew chief Larry McReynolds
said. Before he came along, the perception
was more about the good old Southeastern

boy wearing blue jeans, big belt buckles

and boots. But he created a new buzz in our
sport because he looked like he stepped off
the cover of a GQ magazine.
Gordon became such a household name
that he even hosted Saturday Night Live
and was name-dropped in a Nelly song. He
did it all while dominating at the track as
the Rainbow Warrior, teaming with crew
chief Ray Evernham to collect checkered
flags at a record pace.
Gordon, who debuted in the final race of
the 1992 season in Atlanta, won championships in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 2001. He
also has three Daytona 500 victories and a
record five Brickyard 400 wins. Gordon told
AP that his 1994 win in the inaugural
Brickyard 400 NASCARs first race at
historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway
was easily the highlight of his career.
The low point? Intentionally wrecking
Clint Bowyer in the closing laps of the
2012 race at Phoenix, where frustrations

over a disappointing season got the best of

him. Gordon also said a post-race melee
with Brad Keselowski last November was in
part triggered by his knowledge that perhaps a shot at another championship had
slipped away. He was racing for the win
when contact with Keselowski effectively
ended his title chances. He wound up missing the four-driver championship field by a
single point.
Coming so close didnt change his decision to drive only one more year, though.
With an ownership stake at Hendrick, and
plans to remain involved with the organization for years to come, Gordon told AP the
timeline was just right.
Gordon suffered serious issues years ago
in his back, specifically his lower spine,
and needed anti-inflammatory medication
and workouts with a trainer to return to full
strength. He drove in pain during a winless
2008 season and briefly contemplated
retirement.

Continued from page 11

Thursday Diokno matched up with an old
rival in Bautista to take an early lead on a
blast double-leg takedown before soldiering
to a 9-5 victory.
Two matches later in the 147-pound class,
Reich scored a pin over Brandon Guio on a
half nelson in the first round. Two matches
after that in the 162-pound class, Goff earned
a gritty win over Luis Vazquez by taking a 7-6
lead in the second round before winning via a
head-and-arm pin.
As El Camino head coach Ray Reyes was
quick to point out, however, it takes more
than three standouts to win a dual meet.
Its always the other group that wins a dual
meet, Reyes said.

Former Rabobank cycling doctor banned for life for doping

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Former

Rabobank cycling team doctor Geert Leinders
was banned for life on Thursday for multiple
doping violations during his time with the
Dutch squad.
The Belgian was punished for violations
committed while he was working with
Rabobank from 1996 to 2009, before he
joined Team Sky.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced
that a three-member American Arbitration
Association panel found Leinders possessed,
trafficked, and administered banned performance-enhancing substances and methods
without any legitimate medical need ... to athletes under his care, and was complicit in
other anti-doping rule violations.

anti-doping authorities in Denmark and the

Netherlands, said Leinders was involved in
doping with EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, insulin, DHEA, corticosteroids, and
other substances.
It shocks the conscious that a board member and team doctor would abuse his trusted
position by overseeing and participating in
this type of dangerous and fraudulent activity, USADA CEO Travis Tygart said.
The case was based on evidence discovered
by USADA in 2012 during its investigation of
doping in cycling that led to the demise of
Lance Armstrong.
USADA said Leinders was sanctioned after a
hearing that included presentation of eyewitness testimony, corroborating documentation, and an expert analysis of abnormal
blood values of cyclists.
Leinders was hired by Sky in 2011 and 2012

In 2007, Rabobank removed Danish rider
Michael Rasmussen from the Tour de France
while he was leading the race after he repeatedly declined to explain why he missed
three doping tests ahead of the event. He
was subsequently given a two-year ban and
later admitted he took banned drugs for more
than a decade.
Rasmussens cooperation and testimony in
the investigation of Leinders were integral to
the outcome, said the head of the Danish
anti-doping agency, Lone Hansen.
The reformed doper also implicated the
former chief of the UCI medical commission Mario Zorzoli, accusing the doctor of
protecting potential cheats, and encouraging doping.

face sanctions from CCS.
Walsh told the Daily Journal in
December that he had wrestled with
the decision since the consolation
bracket was enacted for the 2015
season. He cited players health as
the main reason for not wanting to
play, as the Padres had a number of
starters injured and others who had
turned in their gear following the
first-round loss to Los Gatos.
He said he held a meeting with the
team captains following the win over
Palma and they were willing to play
Milpitas so as not to jeopardize future
seasons. Walsh ultimately decided he

of the 2005 Tour de France, his team was

approached by the UCI because a test showed
a very low reticulate count suggesting blood
transfusions. Leinders met with Zorzoli, then
told the rider that he should not worry and was
the most protected rider in the race.
Rasmussen added that according to
Leinders, either in 2004 or 2005, Zorzoli
advised the Rabobank doctor to give his riders
the banned hormone DHEA because all the
other teams were doing it as well.
Zorzoli is still serving as a doctor and a scientific adviser for cyclings governing body.
The UCI said in a statement it is aware of
the accusations against Zorzoli and is now
waiting to receive the full file to look closely into these allegations, and whilst this
investigation is taking place, Dr. Zorzoli
will not be involved in any matters relating
to anti-doping.

was not willing to risk having any

player on either team getting injured.
Ive struggled with it since the
time it (the consolation bracket) was
announced. It didnt make sense to
me, Walsh said in a Dec. 10 interview
with the Daily Journal. That night
(before the game) at 4 in the morning,
my only goal was to make sure no one
got hurt. If thats your goal, that game
should not be played.
That reasoning didnt fly with
Blaser who said in the release that
Serra admitted it would have continued playing if there was more
than fifth place at stake.
If Serra was concerned with the
playoff format and had safety concerns based on its team composition, it should not have agreed to
enter the playoffs, thereby excluding another team desiring to participate, Blaser said in the release.
Serra, which has shared the past two
West Catholic Athletic League titles
and captured the 2013 CCS Open

Division crown, will also have to pay

the money lost by its forfeit. CCS calculated the amount of money missed
from game admissions, lost concessions, event expenses and officials
fees to arrive at a $6,000 figure.
The commissioner also recommends downgrading Serras standing in CCS, from that of member
in good standing to probationary
membership. That will be determined at a Jan. 28 meeting.
While I take no enjoyment from
handing down these sanctions, it is
the duty of the Commissioner to
uphold the integrity of interscholastic athletics and the bylaws as enacted by the CCS member schools,
Blaser said in the release. Todays
announcement is a reminder that our
member schools establish our rules
and agree to follow them in order to
protect the integrity of high school
athletics in our section.
Serra will have an opportunity to
appeal this ruling.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

THE REMARKABLE JOURNEY OF A PRINCE AND

AN ARTIST: EARLY VIEWS OF THE AMERICAN
WEST AT JOSLYN ART MUSEUM IN OMAHA,
NEBRASKA. From 1832 to 1834, the explorer and naturalist Prince Alexander Philipp Maximilian of WiedNeuwied, Germany, embarked on a 2,500-mile journey into
the American Interior, generally following the path of the
Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-1806). Maximilian was
accompanied by the Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, whom the
prince had hired to record the cities, rivers and people along
the way. Maximilian and Bodmer left St. Louis and went by
steamship and keelboat up the Missouri River, traveling as
far as Fort McKenzie, Montana. Among the hundreds of
images Bodmer created were remarkable likenesses of Native
Americans, which memorialized not just their culture and
artifacts, including clothing and weapons, but their individual personalities and life stories.
One notable portrait is that of Mat-Tpe (Four Bears),
painted at Fort Clark, North Dakota, during the winter of
1833-34. Mat-Tpe was a highly respected military and
religious leader among the Mandan. Bodmer shows the chief
formally attired in a shirt of bighorn sheepskin elaborately
trimmed with ermine tails, locks of hair and strips of quillwork outlined in beads. Mat-Tpes headdress, with its
long trailer of eagle feathers, is thought to signify the combined battle coups of a war party or mens warrior society.
The lance in his right hand was said to have been used to kill
an Arikara who had murdered his brother, its shaft afterward
decorated with the enemys scalp stretched on a hoop.
The prince and the artist spent over a year among the
tribes of the Upper Missouri, recording the Mandan, the
Hidatsa, the Sioux and the Blackfoot. Years after the conclusion of their expedition, many of Bodmers works were
adapted as hand-colored engravings to illustrate
Maximilians 1840 book entitled Maximilian Prince of
Wieds Travels in the Interior of North America, which documented the Native peoples, natural history and fur trade of
the High Plains. Bodmers watercolors became the first truly
accurate portrayals of the far western Indians to reach general public view and to depict dramatic landscapes that were
still unfamiliar to audiences in the eastern United States and
Europe.
Today, Maximilians journals and 350 of Bodmers watercolors and drawings are highlights of Joslyn Art Museum in

Omaha. Toby Jurovics, Joslyn Art Museums Chief Curator

and Holland Curator of American Western Art, said: Joslyn
Art Museum is renowned for its comprehensive holdings of
work by the Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, whose watercolors and
prints document his 1832-1834 journey along the Missouri
River frontier with the German naturalist Prince Maximilian
of Wied-Neuwied. The Maximilian/Bodmer Collection,
which also contains the princes illustrated journals, is
notable not only for Bodmers artistic achievement, but as
an invaluable historic record of the American West at a pivotal historical moment. His watercolors capture the dramatic topography of the Missouri River, focusing on the landscape from Nebraska to present-day Montana, as well as
offering a first-hand account of the American Indian tribes
that lived on the High Plains.
A WIFES TRIBUTE TO A HUSBAND CREATES A
MASTERPIECE OF ART DECO. Married in 1874, New
Englanders George and Sarah Joslyn came to Omaha in 1880
when George Joslyn took a job with a newspaper company.
Throughout their long marriage the couple gave generously
to Omahas civic institutions and after her husbands death
Mrs. Joslyn built Joslyn Art Museum in his memory. The
museum, which opened on Nov. 29, 1931, is a jewel of Art
Deco design, with a three-level interior decorated with 38
different kinds of marble from around the world. Its dramatic
exterior walls are finished in Georgia Pink (Ethowa Fleuri)
marble. Native American themes are expressed throughout
and Moravian floor tiles in the Storz Fountain Court include
symbols for literature, music, architecture and painting.
MUSEUM PARTICULARS. Joslyn Art Museum is
located at 2200 Dodge St. Omaha. The North American
Journals of Prince Maximilian of Wied Volume 1: May
1832-April 1833; Volume 2: April-September 1833; and
Volume 3: September 1833-August 1834 are available in

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Liars and the Step Up franchise) arrives

on the scene as a fix-it hero of a new neighbor, offering such incontestable wisdom as
Its the clutch. Nobody (other than the
audience) pays much attention to the unlikely high-school seniors murmured references
to dead parents and an accident.
Transferring his know-how from the driveway to the bedroom, Noah gives Claire a
night to remember. Her quickness, the morning after, to label their steamy get-together
as a mistake proves a major mistake in itself
when dealing with Noah, who invests a
whole lotta menace in the supposed compliment, A woman like you should be cherished. Have more threatening words ever
been spoken?
Her instant guilt coupled with his instant
wacko routine deprives the film of any real
sense of naughty indulgence, not to mention
nuance. But director Rob Cohen avoids sexscene clichs and gives the encounter, and
much of what follows, energy. Once Claire

distances herself, its game on for studly

and strategic Noah, whose first step is to
take Claires good-natured but timid teenage
son, Kevin (well played by Ian Nelson),
under his wing and poison him against his
father.
Noah quickly turns into a one-note character the note being pathological. In
Lopezs rootable portrayal, Claire is far
more complex: conflicted about her marriage, capable of walking out on a disastrous
blind date and alive to the possibilities that
her handsome young neighbor initially represents, especially when viewed late at night
across their rain-streaked bedroom windows.
The screenplay by prosecutor-turnedscreenwriter Barbara Curry lays out some
heavy-handed background to explain Noahs
derangements and fixations, but everything
gives way to full-tilt lunacy, leading to an
inevitable showdown complete with dontgo-into-the-basement suspense, flat-out torture and implausible heroics.

Though the script settles into ordinary

thriller territory way too soon, Cohen (The
Fast and the Furious, Alex Cross) doesnt
belabor things, delivering a concise and
good-looking genre piece and making the
most of a microbudget ($4 million). In the
earthy interiors of Claires home, Charles
Vargas production design accentuates her
maternal warmth. The excellent score by
Rand Edelman and Nathan Barr ratchets up
the dread.
If only that high-tension music played
against less obvious action and dialogue.
Everything is signaled clearly in Boy: A
gun appears early in the story, as does a
kitchen knife, pointing to dire circumstances ahead. But at least as disappointing
as the films predictability is the way the
cheesy, giddy double entendres of its early
scenes give way, all too readily, to the business of protecting professional reputations
and the sanctity of the nuclear family not
half as much fun.

ethic and feels shes a kindred spirit.
I cannot believe the type A, perfectionist, professionalism that that woman
carries. Its something that I try to have
and its something I admire in women.
Shes a strong woman, Chenoweth said.
Lopez made sure to weigh in on the
films big sex scene.
Theres power in preparation and so
the more I knew each and every shot that

(director Rob Cohen) was doing, I could

feel confident in what I was doing, she
said. I was like, I dont want to do this
and I dont want to do this. I feel comfortable with this. I dont feel comfortable
with that.
Speaking up and saying no is something shes learned over time, said Lopez,
a mother of 6-year-old twins, Max and
Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
There were times I hit the wall early on
and you go, OK I cant do that. You dont

Playwright puts new

twist on Eurydice
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Playwright Sarah Ruhl gives the

classic story of Orpheus and Eurydice a
new interpretation in Eurydice, presented by Palo Alto Players.
Rather than focus on musician
Orpheus efforts to retrieve his
deceased wife, Eurydice, from the
underworld, Ruhl makes Eurydice the
center of attention.
In Ruhls version, Eurydice (Sarah
Moser) reunites with her father (Scott
Solomon), who has been trying to
contact her. Father is a character
invented by Ruhl.
Orpheus (Wes Gabrillo) goes to the
underworld to bring his wife back.
However, the Nasty Interesting
Man/Child
(Evan
Michael
Schumacher), who rules there, tells
him she will follow him back to the
upper world, but if he looks back,
shell die again.
Director Jeffrey Lo has assembled a
solid cast, which also includes
Maureen ONeill, Monica Ho and
Monica Cappuccini as the Chorus of
Stones in the underworld.

SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE:
All right, title, and interest conveyed and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it
is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.
More fully described in said Deed of Trust
Street Address or other common designation of real property: 314 East Santa Inez
Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401
A.P.N.: 032-211-030
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (866) 960-8299, visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices/Sales.aspx using
the file number assigned to this case 2013-04227-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale
may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web
site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A
STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR

SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE:
All right, title, and interest conveyed and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it
is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.
More fully described in said Deed of Trust
Street Address or other common designation of real property: : 3747 Hamilton Way,
Redwood City, CA 94062-3406
A.P.N.: 057-234-030
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.
The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the
note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the
obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's
sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and
the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a
written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of
outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date
has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call (866) 960-8299, visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices/Sales.aspx using
the file number assigned to this case 2014-04539-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale
may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web
site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
