Capping a year-long investiga-
tion into a series of murders,
shootings and other crimes, 16
gangmembers were indicted by a
criminal grand jury in what the
district attorney called easily the
most massive case prosecuted in
his ofces history.
District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe announced the indict-
ments Monday morning in front
of the historic county courthouse
anked by law enforcement who
spent 18 months on Operation
Sunny Day, named for the code
word used by gangmembers to
indicate a completed murder.
Of the 16 defendants ranging in
age from 19 to 28, 11 are in cus-
tody in San Mateo County and
were arraigned immediately after
the press conference. The remain-
ing ve are held in other jurisdic-
tions and will be transferred here
for prosecution on crimes includ-
ing murder, attempted murder,
firearms possession, attempted
robbery, conspiracy, drug trafck-
ing, dissuading witnesses and
bribery. The crimes spanned the
Peninsula from East Palo Alto to
San Francisco.
Nine are charged with capital
murder murder for gang purpos-
es which makes them potential-
ly eligible for the death penalty.
The crimes stem from ve pri-
mary acts of violence beginning
Sept. 30, 2012, with a Belmont

Train kills teen who
pushed girlfriend from tracks
MARYSVILLE Witnesses and fam-
ily members say a Northern California
teen pushed his girlfriend away from
the path of an oncoming train before he
was struck and killed.
The girlfriend, 16-year-old Mickayla
Friend, was still grazed and critically
injured, though her mother, Sandy, said
at a vigil Sunday that she was breathing
on her own and walking.
Mickayla and her boyfriend, 16-year-
old Mateus Moore, were headed to a
store before going to a school dance
Friday night in Marysville when they
were struck by the Union Pacic freight
train.
According to the Appeal-Democrat of
Marysville, Sandy Friend said
Mickayla told her Mateus pushed her as
hard as he could. Witnesses to the train
strike said Mateus actions prevented
Mickayla from being run over as well.
Police are looking into whether the
teens were distracted.

honey spilled on 605 Freeway
LOS ANGELES Nearly all lanes of
the northbound 605 Freeway in
Southern California are closed after a
big rig overturned spilling 42,000

California Highway Patrol Officer

turned over at about 2 p.m. just north of
the eastbound 60 Freeway near Avocado

Ireland needs shaggy
sheep for shearing Olympics
DUBLIN Do you own a shaggy
sheep? Ireland needs ewes.
The Irish require at least 6,000 sheep
as hosts of this years Golden Shears
World Championships. But theyre
more than 1,000 short with just weeks
to go before an event dubbed the
Olympics of sheep shearing.
Organizers said Monday they need
ewes, aged 12 to 14 months, to ensure
that all competitors are supplied simi-
larly shaped sheep. Prices for such ani-
mals in Ireland are running high, and
farmers are under pressure to sell them
before the May 22 start of the four-day
competition in Gorey, south of Dublin.
This years event features competi-
tors from 38 countries from China to
Chile, including defending champion
shearer Gavin Mutch of Scotland.
Ireland previously hosted the 37-year-
old contest in 1998.
Officer bitten
while subduing suspect
LOS ANGELES Authorities say
one Los Angeles police ofcer was bit-
ten and another was jolted by a stun gun
while they subdued a man found lying
in the middle of a busy street.
Lt. Albert Gavin tells City News
Service the ofcers were called to a
North Hollywood movie theater Sunday
following reports of a man disturbing
patrons.
The ofcers found the man in trafc
with cars swerving to avoid hitting
him.
Gavin says the man resisted arrest
and was so combative that officers
attempted multiple times to use a stun
gun to subdue him.
The lieutenant says the suspect bit
one ofcer and the other got a jolt from
the stun gun.
The suspect then stopped breathing
and the ofcers used CPR to revive him.
The suspect and the bitten ofcer
were taken to hospitals for treatment.
Woman accused of
stabbing sleeping boyfriend
SAN DIEGO Authorities say a 19-
year-old woman allegedly stabbed her
sleeping boyfriend multiple times after
nding him dozing next to her sister in
Chula Vista.
U-T San Diego reports the woman,
whose name was not released, was cry-
ing and covered in blood when she was
arrested Sunday about a half-mile from
the crime scene.
Police say the 26-year-old man and
his girlfriends 25-year-old sister had
apparently spent the evening as friends
drinking at a local bar. The pair told
investigators they returned home and
fell asleep next to each other with their
clothes on.

With the contract between the popular
Millbrae Community Television and the
city already expired, the group is petition-
ing to return to pre-economic downturn
funding levels and wants a longer-term
contract finalized sooner.
In 2008, the funding for the nonprofit
thats provided cablecasting services to
the city since 1997 known as MCTV was
cut from $86,040 to its level of $76,534
for operating costs when it expired Dec.
30, 2013. The council will decide Tuesday,
March 25 whether to extend the current
expired agreement until June 30, while
reengaging in negotiations in May.
Were faced with a lot of cuts, said
Mayor Wayne Lee. In the past the City
Council just gave them (MCTV) whatever
they wanted and we need to find out what
their finances are.
Randy Sahae, MCTVs first general man-
ager and current production manager, chief
engineer, manager of customer relations,
said its a fairly small budget item and the
group has worked side by side with the city
to help them achieve its mission for 17
years. She fears the city wants to push the
decision back until June to see if the citys
$1.5 million annual fire assessment tax
passes. She notes MCTV took a 7 percent
cut, while city employees took 5 percent
cut during the recession. In 2012, city
employees had these reinstated to their
original levels.
It seems like an awful lot of work to
come back again in two months, she said.
I hope they agree to a contract that
extends past June 2014. The value of
MCTV doesnt change whether the fire
assessment passes or not. [MCTV] has
historically been underpaid. It would be
nice to move in the direction of rectifying
this inequality.
If funding is not restored to the 2008
levels, the organization may not be able
to sustain itself, Sahae said. Currently,
MCTV has less than a three-month operat-
ing reserve, she said.
MCTVs mission is to develop commu-
nity access television for the benefit of
the residents of Millbrae and facilitate the
growth of a medium, which will provide
education and public service program-
ming. Theres one full-time staff member
and three part-time workers. MCTV also
sells professional services to the cities of
Brisbane, San Carlos and San Mateo to
generate revenue. It can also fundraise to
receive additional funding to cover its
operating expenses since its a nonprofit.
Meanwhile, Councilwoman Marge
Colapietro said she will remain open-
minded until she hears the presentation
from MCTV and hears from speakers at the
meeting.
For a long, long time, it has been an
essential part of our community, she said.
It serves a great purpose in our communi-
t y. Its a great resource and a link in com-
munication for residents who cant come
to meetings or community events.
In addition to the added funding, MCTV
is seeking a larger office space. It is now
housed in a 240-square-foot office, said
MCTV General Manager Andy Pitman.
Theyre in the midst of getting the fire
assessment passed, so theres hesitation
about spending extra money, but its not a
huge amount of money, he said. Were
operating far below whats required to run a
television station. The reason were able
to do so is people here have agreed to work
at levels below market pay and we have
had a great deal of support from people
working at this station for a long time. We
get significantly less funding from the
city than comparable community access
stations across the country.
The meeting takes place 7 p.m. Tuesday,
March 25 at Council Chambers, 621
Magnolia Ave. in Millbrae.

Promising entrepreneurs, ven-
ture capitalists, business execu-
tives and technologically savvy
professionals from across the
globe will be hitting downtown
San Mateos streets this week as
they gather for the Global
Technology Symposium held at
Draper University.
The event highlighting Silicon
Valley and emerging markets will
kick off 6 p.m. Wednesday and run
through 7 p.m. Friday. Attendees
will have the opportunity to net-
work, pitch ideas, invest in busi-
nesses, discover whats develop-
ing across the globe and partici-
pate in interactive panels, said
Alexandra Sasha Johnson,
founder and CEO of the Global
Technology Symposium and man-
aging director at the venture capi-
talist rm DFJ VTB Aurora.
There are two parts of [GTS].
One is to showcase entrepreneur-
ship in other parts of the world,
Johnson said. Then to the visit-
ing entrepreneurs and investors,
we give a snapshot and a summary
of whats hot and whats trending
in Silicon Valley.
The annual symposium reects
global changes in emerging mar-
kets and this years theme is
Challenging Trendsetters. Its
about moving from traditional
stagnant speeches to question-
oriented panels where attendees
can gain keen
insight into
e m e r g i n g
trends as well as
paralleled net-
working in a
casual environ-
ment, Johnson
said.
There will be
a pitching com-
petition and
its common for deals to be signed
by investors who come from
emerging markets looking to add
to their portfolio, Johnson said.
She started the Bay Area sympo-
sium almost 12 years ago and,
after several years at the luxury
Rosewood Hotel in Menlo Park,
decided hosting the event at San
Mateos new entrepreneurial
school would be a perfect fit,
Johnson said.
They help you discover a hero
in entrepreneurship, regardless of
what your day job is. So it was just
logical that we would go and use
that particular platform because
the level of entrepreneurs that [do]
pass through that center is quite
remarkable, Johnson said.
Draper University founder Tim
Drapers vision was to take ven-
ture capitalism global at a time
when it wasnt popular, Johnson
said. She was born in the Soviet
Union and moved here to attend
University of California at
Berkeley. She now marvels at how
quickly the market has boomed,
Johnson said.
My learning curve was difcult
and steep and Im thankful for UC
Berkeley forever and I was super
excited to learn everything about
the market, economy and the way
big corporations work and, of
course, there was an entrepreneur-
ship class and I couldnt even
understand what that word meant
back then, Johnson said.
People forget that it all happened
within the last 15 to 20 years and
now entrepreneur is a global con-
cept.
With the tech sector heating up
as fast as ever, having a platform
where people can advertise, share
ideas and learn how to expand
ones presence in the marketplace
is key. As the world progresses,
so too does technology and, with
it, emerging markets and she
hopes to see a day where conicts
over borders and the politics in
todays news are things of the
past, Johnson said.
I believe this whole global
infrastructure thats supporting
entrepreneurship will just develop
even further where eventually
people will stop arguing about
borders, Johnson said. Because
in technology, there [are] no bor-
ders.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO With nearly
eight months to go until the
November election, Gov. Jerry
Brown reported Monday that he
has raised nearly $20 million for
his re-election campaign, far out-
pacing the two leading
Republican candidates competing
for the right to challenge him.
In a quarterly campaign nance
report, the Democratic governors
campaign said it had $19.7 mil-
lion in the bank as of mid-March,
much of it raised from corpora-
tions and unions.
One of the GOP candidates, for-
mer U. S. Treasury ofcial Neel
Kashkari, reported raising more
than $1.3 million since announc-
ing his candidacy in January. He
has $900, 000
cash on hand.
He reported
s p e n d i n g
$ 5 2 7 , 0 0 0 ,
including more
than $210,000
so far this year,
for campaign
consultants and
staff.
As Neel con-
tinues traveling around the state
talking with Californians about
the issues that are important to
them, it is clearer than ever that
he is the right candidate with the
right platform to hold Governor
Brown accountable for his failed
leadership, his campaign manag-
er, Pat Melton, said in a state-
ment.
Brown raises $20M
for race; rivals lag
CAPITOLA A row of beach-
front, Mediterranean-style cottages
in bright pink, green, turquoise and
yellow beckons tourists at the
Capitola Venetian Hotel, who sun-
bathe on deck chairs and splash in
the Pacic waves. But in his nearby
ofce, owner Steven Allen is worry-
ing about ood insurance.
In wet winters, Soquel Creek
storms past his downtown Capitola
hotel in a rage of muddy water and
fallen redwoods after a 16 mile run
through the Santa Cruz Mountains.
As the creek empties into the
Pacic, high tides, storm surges and
wild waves push back, inundating
on local businesses. The beachfront
hotel can get hit from both sides.
For years, the federal government
subsidized many ood insurance
policies.

Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
Thank you time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families whove been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying Youre welcome is
the correct response. Youre welcome, or
You are welcome, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term Youre welcome
being substituted with Thank you back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is OK, but saying Youre welcome first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that Thank you and Youre
welcome have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who weve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
whove discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
Thank you. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Creating A Circle Of Gratitude

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Some supporters of San Mateos old Ice
Center are gearing up for another battle as
the owners of the Bridgepointe Shopping
Center have submitted a second pre-applica-
tion to amend the sites general plan to con-
struct retail space and defer a recreational use
elsewhere.
Bridgepointes owner SPI Holdings sub-
mitted a pre-application to the citys
Planning Department March 12 citing the
need to keep up with market demand and sug-
gesting the city decide how much money it
would like to see in lieu of the ice rink and
how it would like to spend it.
This is the second time SPI submitted a
pre-application after withdrawing its rst in
April 2013 citing the need to evaluate addi-
tional recreational uses that it could provide
for citizens, according to a letter submitted
to the city.
This second pre-application is slightly
different and gives the city more authority
and the public the opportunity to provide
input, said Tricia Schimpp, planner for the
city.
Its similar in that they would like to
have recreational improvements built off
site, Schimpp said. In the previous [pre-
application] it seemed like there was some
discussion about articial turf and restrooms
and other improvements such as that. This
time theres not specic improvements, it
would be up to the city what kind of recre-
ational improvements they would utilize the
recreation fee for.
The sites master plan calls for an ice rink
or a similar use as it was amended in 1998
when Fashion Island and the old Ice Chalet
closed down. SPI ended its lease with the Ice
Center closing it in May 2013.
Many members of the public were out-
raged and say the owners are trying to go
back on their promise to abide by the
terms of their use.
The ice rink was the community benet
per [California Environmental Quality Act]
that allowed Bridgepointe to be built, said
Julie McAuliffe, whose family used the rink.
This developer wants retail there because
theyll make a lot more money with retail,
but they bought the property when there was
an ice rink knowing that that was the land
uses restriction and it still is.
McAuliffes son used to play hockey at the
rink and she must now travel to Cupertino,
Dublin and Vacaville each week so he can
play. She and 10,000 others have signed
petitions and joined a Facebook page sup-
porting the rink remaining, McAuliffe said.
The city forbid Bridgepointe from tearing
down the rink and the freezing equipment is
still there, McAuliffe said. She and others
will continue to push for it to reopen,
McAuliffe said.
No specics have been discussed as this
pre-application stage is about gauging pub-
lic and city input, Schimpp said.
Its really an opportunity for the public
to make known what they want in these rst
steps, Schimpp said.
Community meetings and planning study
sessions will be held, the schedule of which
will be outlined on the citys website in the
next few days, Schimpp said.
SPI Holdings representatives did not
return calls for comment.

Happening Page on the citys site at

Ice rink issue resurfaces
Bridgepointe owners want to amend general plan
OSO, Wash. Authorities say they still
dont know how many people remain miss-
ing from a deadly Washington state mud-
slide.
Snohomish County Emergency
Management Director John Pennington said
late Monday that ofcials were working off
a potential list of 176 people, but he
stressed that authorities believed that
included many duplicate names.
At least 14 people have died. Ofcials say
they are still culling through multiple
reports of people who may have lived or
worked in the area.
The slide smashed through a small com-
munity about 55 miles north of Seattle on
Saturday morning.
One dead in suspicious shooting
in Redwood City trailer park
One person was killed in what investiga-
tors have deemed a suspicious shooting in a
trailer park across the street from an ele-
mentary school in unincorporated Redwood
City Monday evening, a sheriffs spokes-
woman said.
The shooting was reported in a trailer park
in the 700 block of Barron Avenue around
5:50 p.m., San Mateo County Sheriffs
Office spokeswoman Rebecca Rosenblatt
said.
The Sequoia Trailer Park is listed at that
address and is located across the street from
Fair Oaks Elementary School. The victim
was pronounced dead at the scene.
Rosenblatt said investigators are attempt-
ing to determine if the fatal shooting was a
homicide, a suicide or an accident.

of missing people from slide

WORLD 8
By Todd Pitman and Eileen Ng
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia After 17
days of desperation and doubt over the miss-
ing Malaysia Airlines jet, the countrys of-
cials said an analysis of satellite data points
to a heartbreaking conclusion: Flight 370
met its end in the southern reaches of the
Indian Ocean, and none of those aboard sur-
vived.
The somber announcement late Monday by
Prime Minister Najib Razak left unresolved
many more troubling questions about what
went wrong aboard the Boeing 777 to take it
so far off-course.
It also unleashed a maelstrom of sorrow and
anger among the families of the jets 239
passengers and crew.
Asolemn Najib, clad in a black suit, read
a brief statement about what he called an
unparalleled study of the jets last-known
signals to a satellite. That analysis showed
that the missing plane, which took off
from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing early on
March 8, veered to a remote location, far
from any possible landing sites.
It is therefore with deep sadness and regret
that I must inform you that, according to this
new data, Flight MH370 ended in the south-
ern Indian Ocean, he said.
His carefully chosen words did not directly
address the fate of those aboard. But in a sep-
arate message, sent to some of their relatives
just before he spoke, Malaysia Airlines of-
cials said that we have to assume beyond
any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been
lost and that none of those on board sur-
vived.
Ofcials said they concluded that the ight
had been lost in the deep waters west of Perth,
Australia, based on more thorough analysis
of the brief signals the plane sent every hour
to a satellite belonging to Inmarsat, a British
company, even after other communication
systems on the jetliner shut down.
The pings did not include any location
information. But Inmarsat and British avia-
tion ofcials used a type of analysis never
before used in an investigation of this sort
to zero in on the planes last position, as it
reached the end of its fuel, Najib said.
Officials: Missing plane went down in Indian Ocean

NOVOOZERNOE, Crimea Russias for-
eign minister met with his Ukrainian coun-
terpart for the rst time on Monday and
demanded more autonomy for Ukraines
regions, even as Ukraine under pressure
ordered its troops out from Crimea after the
Russian seizure of military bases there.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an
unexpected move agreed to the highest level
meeting yet between the Russian govern-
ment and a representative of the new
Ukrainian government that Moscow has
opposed vociferously over the past month.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of
a nuclear security summit in the Hague,
Netherlands.
Lavrov told Ukrainian Foreign Minister
Andriy Deshchytsia that Russia continues to
want constitutional changes in Ukraine that
would give more autonomy to all regions of
Ukraine.
Russia is eager to retain its inuence in
Ukraines Russian-speaking eastern regions
and prevent Ukraine from joining NATO. It
has pushed for the new Ukraine to become a
loose federation demands the new
Ukrainian government has rejected.
Before the meeting, Deshchytsia said his
government fears a Russian military buildup
near Ukraines border. The possibility of a
military invasion is very high. We are very
much worried about this concentration of
troops on our eastern border, he said.
The concerns have been deepened in by
the intense military pressure Russia has
applied in Crimea since Russian President
Vladimir Putin formally annexed the penin-
sula last week. Russian forces have com-
mandeered ships and broke into walled mili-
tary installations with armored personnel
carriers.
In the bay of Donuzlav in western Crimea,
dozens of Ukrainian sailors marooned on
the Konstantin Olshanskiy navy landing
vessel abandoned ship Monday after weeks
of tension and uncertainty. The Olshanskiy
and two other warships have been trapped in
the bay since Russian forces scuttled moth-
balled ships at the bays inlet.
The sailors, using a small rubber boat that
needed several trips to ferry them to land,
were greeted by the taunts of hecklers on the
shore.
One man shouted they were deserting
rats, while another man blasted the
Russian national anthem from his car.
We arent rats, we arent running, said
one sailor, who only gave his rst name of
Yevgeny to discuss a sensitive subject.
Why should we have stayed, what would we
have accomplished?

OPINION 9
Smoking ban
Editor,
Regarding the story, County
mulls smoking ban in the March 22
edition of the Daily Journal, if you
dont have the enforcement manpow-
er, it is probably something you do
not want to pass.
There is no reason to have many
unforced laws on the books and then
selectively enforce the civic meas-
ures. In fact, the law must be equally
applied. If you dont, code enforce-
ment and law enforcement could use
this law as a leaver or pretext for law
enforcement to have a look and see
and have a knock and talk to fur-
ther an investigation or collect data
surreptitiously.

The right to life
Editor,
For two successive Sundays (May
16 and May 23) ABC news featured a
story in prime time on their national
network which dealt with the efforts
of the San Diego Zoo to save the life
of a newborn baby gorilla and
reunite her with her mother.
Meanwhile, each day far too many
innocent lives are aborted in the
womb right here in our own country.
To be clear, this letter is not meant
to criticize the San Diego Zoo Safari
Park for taking good care of all the
animals in their charge. Rather, the
point is to call attention to the
alarming contrast in the electronic
media between celebrating the safety
of a baby primate and yet at the same
time turning a blind eye to the tragic
story of countless unborn children
with immortal souls and limitless
human potential who are fighting
every hour of the day for the right to
life.

The NSA monster
Editor,
The National Security Agency con-
tinues to operate in the shadows with
no congressional oversight. New
disclosures from Edward Snowden
warn the NSAhas intensified its
computer hacking activities.
According to the news website, The
Intercept, the new malware software
code named implants is infecting
millions of computers under an auto-
mated system codename, Turbine.
Masquerading as a fake Facebook
server, the software targets a comput-
er and removes files from a users
hard drive. This prompted an out-
raged Mark Zuckerberg to call
President Obama and demand the
NSAcease and desist its illegal
activities.
The security of the Internet is seri-
ously at risk. The NSA, Congress
and the White House have complete-
ly lost control of their Frankenstein
because the monster is roaming the
Internet with virtually no human
oversight. London Guardians Luke
Harding reported that whole para-
graphs mysteriously disappeared
from his computer while he was writ-
ing his latest book, The Snowden
Files: The Inside Story of the
Worlds Most Wanted Man. The
British spy agency, the Government
Communications Headquarters,
which works in close concert with
the NSA, swooped down to the
Guardian newsroom and demanded
that all material relating to Snowden
be destroyed failing which the
Guardian would be forced to cease
publication. Thus, the enemies of
free speech, democracy and the rule
of law forced a courageous newspaper
to destroy critical reporting the
hallmark of a free society.

Congress whipping CIA
Editor,
CIAbriefed the congressional
intelligence committee leadership
about the enhanced interrogation
program more than 10 years ago in
full compliance with the law.
Senators and congressmen and con-
gresswomen had ample opportunity
to offer any objections if they had
any. They didnt. Now, if they are
indignant about what occurred, then
perhaps they should subject them-
selves to their own self-flagellation
program and stop diverting CIAs
attention.

Letters to the editor
The Gleaner, Henderson, Ky.
U
ntil about three years ago,
federal agents annually inter-
cepted 8,000 unaccompanied
minors entering the United States
illegally. By last year, the number had
jumped to nearly 26,000. This years
projection: As many as 60,000
youngsters may attempt to cross into
this country without parents or
papers.
This surge of under-age humanity
presents two problems.
First is understanding the forces
propelling it, which experts say
include narco-trafcking, Central
American gang violence and abusive
homes.
Its sensible to seek a regional
approach to a humanitarian issue that
is beyond the power of a single gov-
ernment to control.
Ajoint effort holds greater poten-
tial to address the causes of this
migration trend, and the affected gov-
ernments should work together to nd
a solution before it becomes a migra-
tion crisis.
The second problem the United
States faces is what to do with the
youngsters once they get here.
Unlike people charged with crimi-
nal offenses, those detained on immi-
gration violations do not have the
right to a court-appointed attorney
during deportation proceedings, so if
the detained person cant afford a
lawyer, he or she often faces the judge
alone.
The issue is compounded when the
defendant is a child. Children barely
of school age have been compelled to
argue alone in immigration court why
they should be allowed to stay.
Often, the children cant even
understand the language, let alone the
process, which means there is a very
real chance that minors who qualify
for asylum or other protections are
being booted out of the country with-
out a fair hearing.
The federal government should
develop a system under which unac-
companied minors have access to a
lawyer or experienced advocate (as
happens in child-welfare court pro-
ceedings) to defend their interests. A
number of nonprot organizations,
such as Kids in Need of Defense, have
been training and coordinating pro
bono lawyers to help children.
Young illegal immigrants
Against type
H
ow well do you type? Former U.S.
Supreme Court justice Sandra Day
OConnor, speaking at her induction into
the countys Womens Hall of Fame, shared the chal-
lenges of finding a law firm willing to hire a female
lawyer in the 1950s. OConnor was among the top of
her class, on the Law Review and, as we now know,
poised for a place in history. But back then the only
place the interviewer wanted to see OConnor was in
the secretarial pool.
Thankfully for OConnor, and eventually the nation,
she found a spot in the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office albeit without a paycheck or dedicat-
ed desk. If OConnor ever had to type for that gig,
chances are it was for her own work and not that of her
tie-wearing colleagues.
OConnors story about the job interview question
calls to mind a
tongue-in-cheek
poster I once saw
with a photo of for-
mer British prime
minister Margaret
Thatcher. Under her
face, a similar ques-
tion was printed:
But can she type?
Seems even the
Iron Lady wasnt
immune to the old-
fashioned notion
ladies were better off
wearing velvet
gloves than flexing a
steely fist inside.
These recollections
bring eye rolls and groans, head shakes and laughter.
How silly, we think. Can you even imagine? silently
asks our generation that, while acknowledging we still
make pennies on the mans dollar, still know we have
it better than our preceding generations.
How far weve come and were not talking Virginia
Slims. Then again, how far we still have to go.
The truth is that OConnors ridiculous job interview
wasnt that long ago less than one average persons
lifetime. Its often easy to feel that battles are won and
stick an issue up on a shelf of complacency. But that
would be a mistake. While gender equality is far better
than it was, no thanks to helpful folks like Phyllis
Schlafly, there remains the issues du jour when it
comes to that divide. Some are financial the
assumption women will be taken care of by their
husbands paycheck. Some are social are women
asking for assault by enlisting in the military? Others
are cultural the honeys and sweeties and math is
hard-claiming Barbies. None are reason to believe
women are any less capable or worthy than their male
peers.
On Friday, at the same Hall of Fame induction cere-
mony where OConnor was honored, the county
Commission on the Status of Women also added three
other names of people following in OConnors foot-
steps not only remarkable women but impressive peo-
ple: Fatima Soares, Dr. Faye McNair-Knox and Nina
Luo. Their resumes individually make me wonder what
the heck Ive been doing all my life. Luo, a high
school junior, in particular makes me feel like an
underachiever. At her age, I was busy cutting trigonom-
etry and reading Seventeen. She, however, is busy
saving the world or something pretty darn close to it.
Actually, McNair-Knox and Soares are doing the same
with every life they touch and every accolade they
accumulate. These are women to reckon with and
nobody better ask about their typing skills as an
assessment of their worth. The same can be said of the
dozens of women who they join in the Hall of Fame.
All of this should go without saying but an event
like Friday nights ceremony is a chance not only to
honor those who pave the way but remind the rest of us
of what can be accomplished. Certainly, equality would
ideally mean that commissions and halls of fame need-
nt be segregated by gender because wed all be on
identical footing. But until thats in the cards, if ever,
heres a thank you to all the women who dont give up
and refuse to be typecast.

NEWYORK Asell-off in technol-
ogy stocks Monday pulled the broader
market lower as investors unloaded
some of the biggest names in the
industry.
Netix fell 7 percent, Facebook fell
5 percent, and Google and
Amazon.com each fell more than 2
percent.
Tech stocks have soared over the
past year, pushing the Nasdaq compos-
ite index up 30 percent over the past
12 months, more than twice as much as
the Dow Jones industrial average.
Netix and Facebook have doubled in
price in that time.
The big highiers have done really
well, and so I think theres been some
profit-taking, said Randy Warren,
chief investment officer of Warren
Financial Service.
The Nasdaq lost 50.4 points, or 1.2
percent, to close at 4,226.39.
Other indexes also fell, but not as
much. The Standard & Poors 500
index fell 9.08 points, or 0.5 percent,
to 1,857.44. The Dow Jones industrial
average fell 26.08 points, or 0.2 per-
cent, to 16,276.69.
Stocks drifted lower early Monday as
traders feared that sanctions against
Russia could tip the worlds ninth-
largest economy into recession.
Investors were also reacting to news
that Russian troops had seized
Ukrainian ships and military installa-
tions in the Crimean peninsula. Russia
annexed the region last week.
Biotechnology stocks, another sec-
tor that has soared over the past year,
extended a decline that began Friday
after U.S. lawmakers questioned the
pricing of a Hepatitis C drug made by
Gilead Sciences.
A popular fund tracking biotech
stocks, the iShares Nasdaq Biotech
ETF, fell 3 percent on Monday. Its
been up 53 percent over the past 12
months.
Its the richest part of the market,
so ... youre going to get nervous-
ness, said Jerry Webman, chief econ-
omist of Oppenheimer Funds.

NEWYORK At a time when Facebook,
Twitter and LinkedIn are pushing people to
put forward their most polished, put-togeth-
er selves, a new class of mobile applications
aims for a bit more honesty.
Among the latest is Secret, created by two
former Google engineers who were looking
for a way to let people deliver genuine feed-
back to co-workers. With the app, friends
and friends of friends can share their deepest
and darkest thoughts, along with gossip,
criticism and even plans to propose mar-
riage, under a cloak of near-anonymity.
This idea that you have to craft this per-
fect image online, says Secrets 30-year-old
co-founder Chrys Bader-Wechseler. Thats
stressful. We want to remove that stress.
Secret joins a handful of apps such as
Conde, Whisper and Yik Yak that have
become popular and in some cases, noto-
rious in recent months, by offering users
a way to communicate while cloaking their
identities.
What happens when people are free to say
what they want without a name and prole
photo attached? Its an experiment in human
nature that harkens back to the early days of
the Web, when faceless masses with made-up
nicknames ruled chat rooms and online mes-
sage boards.
In the past decade, anonymity has been
fading. As Facebook soared to dominate
online social networks, the trend shifted
toward proles, real names and the melding
of online and ofine identities. But as peo-
ples online social circles grew from friends
to parents, grandparents, in-laws, colleagues
and bosses, many became increasingly reluc-
tant to share as openly as they once did.
People go on Facebook and say they just
got engaged. But what you dont see is I am
going to propose today, says Secret co-
founder and CEO David Byttow, 32.
Launched in 2012, Whisper is especially
popular with teenagers and 20-somethings,
with the bulk of its users under 24. Yik Yak,
released late last year, made headlines recent-
ly when a California high school went into
lockdown after someone used the app to post
an anonymous bomb threat.
Although anonymity apps are being criti-
cized as platforms for bullying, supporters
say they can be tools for preventing mis-
chief. They also have a cathartic value for
some users.
My baby boy passed away recently. I saw
his picture today and cried. I cried because I
love him and miss him. Im a guy, so no one
thinks to talk to me, read a recent post on
Secret.
Another recent Secret message read: Fact:
Its downright scary to hire your rst woman
onto an all-male team.
On Secret, users are told when a friend has
posted a secret they just dont know which
friend. Whisper, meanwhile does not tell
users how, or if, they are connected to a per-
son posting.
I am a closeted gay guy and the sheer num-
ber of hot fraternity guys on campus is a spe-
cial kind of hell, read a recent post on
Whisper.
Whisper CEO Michael Heyward, 26, says
the companys app does not allow people to
use anonymity to hurt anyone else. Users,
for instance, cant put proper names into
posts unless the names belong to public g-
ures. So Justin Bieber is okay. Justin from
Spanish class is not. Whisper also employs
120 human moderators to comb through
posts in real time.

SAN FRANCISCO Online storage
provider Box is seeking to raise $250 mil-
lion in an initial public offering that will
become the latest test of investors interest
in rapidly growing technology companies
suffering huge losses while being led a pre-
cocious CEO.
With Mondays IPO ling, Box Inc. took
the wraps off its nances for the rst time
since the Los Altos, Calif., company was
founded nearly nine years ago by college
dropout Aaron Levie and his friend, Dylan
Smith. The documents showed Box has lost
a total of $337 million since the end of
2011 alone, including a $169 million set-
back during its last scal year.
Levie, 29, serves as Boxs CEO while
Smith, 28, is the companys chief nancial
ofcer.
At times, we may get some things
wrong, but we respond quickly and fail
fast, Levie wrote in a letter accompanying
the IPO ling. More often, however, our
speed affords us an incredible competitive
advantage.
Although he is still relatively young,
Levie is well regarded in Silicon Valley and
has become known for a glib sense of humor
that has helped attract more than 90,000
followers to his Twitter account. He also
joined another 29-year-old technology
whiz, Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg,
among a contingent of Silicon Valley exec-
utives who met with President Barack
Obama in Washington last week to vent
their frustration with the U.S. governments
surveillance of Internet services.
Although investors initially were turned
off by Zuckerbergs penchant for wearing
hoodies when Facebook led for its IPO in
2012, Wall Street has since warmed up to
him and his social networking company.
Facebooks stock closed Monday at
$64.10, a nearly 70 percent gain from the
companys IPO price of $38. Investors also
have shrugged off Twitter Inc.s uninterrupt-
ed history of losses since the company went
public last November. Twitters stock n-
ished Monday at $48.77, nearly doubling
from its IPO price of $26.

LOS ANGELES Disney said Monday
that it is buying YouTube channel operator
Maker Studios for at least $500 million as
the family entertainment giant aims to
stay in front of younger audiences who are
increasingly watching short videos
online.
The Walt Disney Co. could pay up to
$450 million more in bonuses if Maker
meets performance targets, the company
said.
The purchase will give Disney ownership
of 55,000 channels including Epic Rap
Battles of History and makeup expert Amy
Phams The Fashion Statement. Combined,
Maker has 380 million subscribers and
generates 5.5 billion views per month.
Buying Maker Studios will help Disney
reach young audiences, said Kevin Mayer,
Disneys executive vice president of cor-
porate strategy, in an interview.
They have the biggest audience on
YouTube. Its very hard to replicate,
Mayer said.
Mayer also said that Disney could find
talent for its TV shows and movies in the
YouTube stars on Maker Studios channels.
The purchase will dampen Disneys earn-
ings per share mildly through the 2017
fiscal year, Mayer said.

Candy Crush maker King to go public
NEWYORK King Digital, the company
behind the wildly mobile game Candy

on the New York Stock Exchange this week.
The company could be valued as high as
$7.6 billion if its initial public offering
prices at $24 per share, the upper end of its
expected range. Thats nearly twice as much
as its closest rival Zynga Inc., the creator of

Unlike Zynga, however, King is prof-
itable and has less than a third of Zyngas

STANFORD Hannah Farr loves her
sports.
With Stanford womens lacrosse on a 12-
day break for final exams prior to its
Mountain Pacic Sports Federation home
opener March 22, Farr was keen to wrap up
her assignments with two days to spare.
What did she do with two days of down time?
She went on a 48-hour March Madness
binge, of course.
Calling Farr a basketball fanatic only
scratches the surface of her athletic depth.
She is a two-sport athlete at Stanford who
also plays on the womens soccer team. She
is the only athlete in Stanford history to
play both lacrosse and soccer as a two-sport
athlete.
Growing up amidst the Dare to Dream
era of womens soccer, Farr started attending
Stanford sports clinics at a young age. The
Hillsborough native dreamed of someday
donning Cardinal red which drove her
scholastically as well as athletically. It did-
nt hurt that she is the hyper-competitive
middle sister of two hyper-athletic brothers.
And when she was accepted out of St.
Ignatius to some of the best schools in the
nation at Harvard, Northwestern and
Stanford, Farrs choice was crystal clear.
I had grown up just worshipping
Stanford soccer, Farr said. That was some-
thing, when I came to talk to [Stanford
womens lacrosse head coach Amy Bokker],
she set me up with [womens soccer head
coach Paul Ratcliffe] and he said I could
do both. And I just decided on that day that I
was for sure coming to Stanford.
Farr realized her dream in grand fashion as

Woodsides Brad Degnan, who earned a mention in Sports Illustrated following his three
homers in one inning against Westmoor last year, is off to a hot start this season. He was
7 for 11 with four doubles, four runs scored and ve RBIs in three games last week.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Quick quiz: Who is the only current
Peninsula Athletic League player to ever get
a mention in Sports Illustrated?
After the astonishing feat of hitting three
home runs in one inning on April 18, 2013
against Westmoor, Woodsides Brad Degnan
earned a mention in the Time Warner mag.
The left-handed slugger has hit safely in 14-
of-16 games since that legendary day.
Last week, Degnan kept on swinging it to
the tune of 7 for 11 with ve RBIs, four dou-
bles and four runs. Anchoring the No. 3 spot
in the batting order, Degnan helped propel
the Wildcats to their rst two wins of the
season as they got off to a 2-0 start in Ocean
Division play. Its for these reasons Degnan
has been named the San Mateo Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
It was a non-league schedule to forget for
Woodside heading into last weeks two-
game series with Mills. The Wildcats were
winless through their rst seven games and
have since added a 5-2 loss Saturday in a
non-league matchup at Sacred Heart Prep.
Woodside has faced some tough customers
though with losses against Menlo,
Burlingame, St. Ignatius and twice against
Menlo-Atherton.
We started off really slow, obviously,
Degnan said. I think in the preseason we
played a lot of upper-division teams and
our defense has been really poor. Weve been
making a lot of errors. But weve been hit-
ting well all season.
The Wildcats entered into play Saturday
batting .285 as a team. And Degnan has
been their most prolic hitter by far. The
fourth-year-varsity senior is currently bat-
ting .486 (17 for 35) with two home runs
and 14 RBIs.
But while Degnan continues to produce at
the plate as he always has he is hitting
.443 since the outset of his sophomore year
perhaps the most interesting develop-
ment as of late has been in the eld as, for
the rst time in his life, Degnan dawned the
tools of ignorance this season.

ith 11 freshmen on this years
squad, one could be forgiven
for expecting some growing
pains from the 2014 edition of the
College of San Mateo softball team.
With a 72-8 record over the previous
two seasons, there was no way the
Bulldogs could keep up such a pace, could
they?
Well, turns out this group of young
women has grown up in a hurry and if
there were any growing pains, they are
far behind it. Going into Tuesdays game
against Gavilan, the Bulldogs have
picked up where they left off the previous
two seasons: name-
l y, a 28-1 record, a
24-game winning
streak, the No. 1
ranking in the state,
running away with
the Coast Conference
North Division and
simply doing what
they do best.
I think weve had
a lot of really good
things happen for us
this year, said CSM
coach Nicole Borg, in her eighth season
with the program. With such a young
team, I didnt really feel like we would be
this far ahead at this point of the sea-
son.
At this point in the season, the
Bulldogs are 28-1 overall and 9-0 in
Coast Conference play. Their team bat-
ting average of .399 is second-best in the
state and their pitching staffs combined
earned run average is 2.23 which is
eighth in the state.
In Coast Conference play, the numbers
are video game like. Their team ERAof
0.40 is nearly a run and a half better than
Foothills 1.86. At the plate, the
Bulldogs are hitting a robust .470 in con-
ference play bettering Ohlones .432.
If anybody looks at our stats, our
offense is phenomenal, Borg said.

broke open the game with a 30-2 run span-
ning the halves in a 63-44 victory over

NCAAwomens tournament Monday night.
The second-seeded Cardinal (31-3) won

The 10th-seeded Seminoles (21-12) strug-
gled to score in both of their two tourna-
ment games, following a 55-44 win over
Iowa State with another dud.
Lili Thompson added 14 points and
Bonnie Samuelson had 11 with three 3-
pointers. The Cardinal had 17 assists on 22
eld goals.
FSUs Natasha Howard had nine points
and seven rebounds, all in the second half.
The last time Stanford and Florida State
met was in the 2007 NCAAtournament. The
Seminoles, a No. 10 seed then as well, won
68-61 on Stanfords home court to reach the
Sweet 16 for the rst time.
There was no threat of an upset this time,
even though Stanford trailed by eight
points early. Then the Cardinal went on
their 30-2 run that made it 36-16.
The Cardinal began the game in a tightly
packed 2-3 zone defense and challenged the
Seminoles to shoot from the outside. The
Seminoles made 5-of-6 shots.
Stanford extended its zone after the rst
media timeout, and things didnt come as
easily for the Seminoles. FSU missed 20 of
22 shots to end the half and was held score-
less for nearly 10 minutes.

Angels 11, Giants 4
TEMPE, Ariz. Tyler Skaggs pitched into the sixth
inning to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the San
Francisco Giants 11-4 on Monday.
Josh Hamilton had two hits and Chris Iannetta hit his
third spring homer for Los Angeles.
Skaggs, who is trying to win a spot in the Angels rota-
tion, allowed seven hits and two runs in 5 1-3 innings.
He took a huge step today, Angels manager Mike
Scioscia said.
Skaggs and fellow left-hander Hector Santiago were
acquired by Los Angeles in a three-team trade in December
that sent Angels slugger Mark Trumbo to Arizona. Skaggs
went 2-3 with a 5.12 ERA in seven starts with the
Diamondbacks last season.
Skaggs and Santiago are expected to be the fourth and fth
starters in the Angels rotation for the start of the regular
season behind Jered Weaver, C. J. Wilson and Garrett
Richards.
Skaggs said he hasnt been told anything as far his status
with the Angels.
I just come here day by day and look at the sheet to see
my name on the list, he said. I dont want to go back to the
minors.
He said he was mostly concerned with his fastball com-
mand against the Giants and that hes not overly concerned
with his curveball while in Arizona.
Its tough to pitch in Arizona, Skaggs said. I over-
threw a little bit. I was high in the strike zone. When my
curveball is working Im rolling.

ance including three RBIs in the Warriors16-
9 win over Lincoln Friday.
Matt Blais, Serra baseball
The senior right-hander threw the game of

inning complete game. He took a no-hitter
into the fth inning and faced the minimum
through seven by virtue of a double play and
a caught stealing. Serra manager Craig
Gianinno said it was the single greatest per-
formance he has ever seen from a high-
school pitcher.
Rafaela Dade, Capuchino softball
The sophomores 3-for-3 day at the plate
Thursday was just icing on the cake of a bril-
liant pitching performance in a 3-2 win over

victory, allowing six hits while striking out
ve against two walks in the Mustangs Bay

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Adam Silver says
hes heard the Bill Gates theory numerous
times from critics over the last month: You
shouldnt be required to attend college to
become a millionaire.
But the new NBA commissioner believes
basketball players should spend at least two
years in college instead of just the cur-
rently required one.
Fair or not, he said its simply best for the
league. Speaking before Mondays Rockets-
Bobcats game in Charlotte, Silver said: I
think two years is the right balance.
That means if Silver had his way, Jabari
Parker and Andrew Wiggins would be stay-
ing another year in school. But theres little
he can do about that.
An agreement between the league and the
players association is not imminent.
Ive heard all sides of the issue, Silver
said. Ive had players say that a young man
should have the right to earn a living at 18
and Ive had others say wed be a better
league with more experienced players. Im
sensitive to both sides of the issue and its
not something that I could unilaterally
change even if we wanted to. Its an issue
that would have to be collectively bargained
with our union.
Silver said the NBA has been waiting for
the players association
to appoint a new head of
the union before begin-
ning negotiations on a
potential change.
The NFL currently
requires players to be
three years removed from
high school before being
eligible to enter the draft.
Silver also believes
there should be input from colleges. He said
at this point he hasnt had any formal dis-
cussions with college administrators.
We say one-and-done players, but in
most cases its really one semester and done,
because theyre coming in and retaining
their eligibility for one semester and then if
the team makes the tournament, they con-
tinue playing and once they lose, they pre-
pare for the draft, Silver said. In an ideal
world, four years of college would be appro-
priate, but I recognize thats not realistic.
There has to be a balance in terms of the
economic opportunity and us putting the
best product on the oor in the NBA. Its
awfully risky to use your rst pick on some-
one with limited experience in college and,
to me, the right balance would be two
years.
Silver said there is no economic benet
for the league on whether or not a player
enters the league at 19 or 20 years old.

WASHINGTON Tiger Woods is not sure
whether his ailing back will allow him to
play in the Masters, which is two weeks
away.
For Augusta, its actually still a little too
soon, to be honest with you, Woods said
Monday at a news conference to announce
that Quicken Loans is the new title sponsor
of his golf tournament. Thats kind of the
frustrating thing about this.
The Masters is the only major tournament
the 38-year-old Woods has never missed.
Four of his 14 major championships came
at Augusta National, including his rst in
1997. He last won the green jacket in 2005.
This years Masters is April 10-13.
Woods is off to the worst start of his 18
years on tour, and hes been troubled lately
by back problems.
He stopped playing in the nal round at
the Honda Classic on March 2 because of
what he called back spasms and pain in his
lower back. He tried to defend his title the
following week at Doral, only for his back
to are up again in the nal round, when he
shot a 78, the highest Sunday score of his
PGA Tour career and his rst closing round
without a birdie.
Then last week, Woods withdrew from the
Arnold Palmer Invitational because of per-
sistent back pain.
Ive had a couple weeks off and getting
treatment and just working on trying to get
ready for Augusta,
Woods said Monday. As
of right now, its still too
soon, which is, as I said,
pretty frustrating.
This has been the
longest sustained prob-
lem Woods has had with
his lower back.
He rst showed signs
of back pain at Bethpage
Black at The Barclays in 2012, which he
attributed to a soft bed at his hotel. He felt
twinges during the nal round of the PGA
Championship last year, and when his back
bothered him in the final round of The
Barclays two weeks later, he said it was
unrelated.
At Mondays news conference, Woods dis-
cussed a deal through 2017 for his tourna-
ment to be called the Quicken Loans
National. It will be played June 26-29 at
Congressional this year. AT&T was in the
nal year of its contract as sponsor.
The AT&T National began in 2007 with a
military theme built around the Fourth of
July in the nations capital. It has been held
at Congressional for all but two years, in
2010 and 2011, as the course prepared to
host the U.S. Open. In those years, it was
played at Aronimink outside Philadelphia.
Congressional is under contract through

(And) we have a strong pitching staff this
year. Last year, we had one (quality starting
pitcher). This year, we have three who are
pitching for us and are being really suc-
cessful. Each of them have their
strengths.
Despite the gaudy numbers, Borg and her
coaching staff constantly drill into the
players heads it all means nothing as they
approach their next game. They let the
team know that whoever is next on the
schedule would love nothing better than to
knock off the top-ranked team in the state.
We came into the season with a target
on our back. Being the defending Nor Cal
regional champion, winning two Coast
Conference championships in a row, all
that matters, Borg said. (Opponents)
want to say they knocked us off.
But with the mindset of the next game
being the most important, the Bulldogs,
for the most part, have avoided sleeping on
any opponent.
We dont talk about the past. The post-
game conversation is about what we did
right and what we need to work on, Borg
said. Once the game is over, you celebrate
that game and move on.
Borg credits her players with having a
one-track mind, focused on the task at
hand, not getting too full of themselves or
believing they have accomplished their
goals for the season. She said a lot of that
has to do with players coming from win-
ning high school programs. While the
team still has a number of local talent
Natalie Saucedo from Burlingame and Talise
Fiame of Terra Nova, for example the
team is starting to get talent from the East
Bay, including a pair of freshmen
Melina Rodriguez and Kayleen Smith
from James Logan in Union City, which
won the North Coast Section champi-
onship last year.
It should come as no surprise that both
have had a major hand in the success of this
years squad.
Borg said it is important to have players
from competitive programs. Players who
are used to winning and are not shy about
continuing to win at the next level. When
Borg is recruiting players, she lets them
know right away the expectations she has
of those playing for the Bulldogs.
The main thing is coming from a com-
petitive high school program. Do they
know how to compete? Fortunately for us,
this team does. We have kids from a ton of
different high schools this year and they
understand this is why theyre here. We
want to win, Borg said. My (recruiting)
style is throwing it all out there from Day
1. Its a very pressured situation. Do you
want to be part of that? If the response is
yes, and the look in their eyes is, heck
yes, then thats the player we want.
And its those kind of players that have
helped the Bulldogs build a record of 100-9
over two-plus seasons.

With an injury to regular catcher Shawn
Stafford, Degnan took over behind the dish
for the Wildcats. He caught six games,
including Woodsides opening-day loss to
M-A. Having a lot of friends who play for
the Bears, there were a lot of strange looks
from opposing batters when they came to
the plate.
The whole team was like, What are you
doing there? Degnan said.
It was actually Degnan who hit the ball
that landed Stafford on the disabled list to
start the year. The two were taking batting
practice in the batting cage at Woodside
when Stafford was struck in the face by a
line drive. The junior suffered a concussion
and multiple breaks to his cheekbone,
Degnan said.
Woodside manager Tim Faulkner put his
superstar behind the plate not for atonement
but because Degnan owns one of the best
arms on the team. While lling in for his
injured teammate, Degnan said he didnt
have a lot of fun behind the plate. The
exception was when he was throwing out
opposing base runners, of which he gunned
down two.
After being reactivated, Stafford immedi-
ately made an impact by hitting .600 (6 for
10) in his rst three games. Paired with
Woodsides undefeated start in Ocean
Division play, Degnan is optimistic about
making a senior-season run at the Central
Coast Section playoffs.
I think were pushing forward, Degnan
said. I think were just getting started and
were only going to get better.

Rangers 6, As 2
SURPRISE, Ariz. Mitch Moreland
returned to the Texas lineup from a side
injury and singled home two runs during a
ve-run sixth as the Rangers defeated the
Oakland Athletics 6-2 Monday.
Moreland had two hits and drew a walk. He
had not played since straining his left
oblique March 18.
Its signicant that hes had good at-bats
against everybody, Rangers manager Ron
Washington said. It is big that hes handled
left-handers. It looks like the new approach
he has, not stepping in the bucket that hes
staying in there pretty good.
Alex Rios and Robinson Chirinos also
contributed RBI singles in the Rangers bi g
inning.
Alberto Callaspo went 3 for 3 for the As
and is 12 for 28 (.429) in his past 10 games.
John Jaso singled home a run, giving him
eight RBIs in his past eight games.
Rangers right-hander Ryan Feierabend
gave up four hits in four scoreless innings.
I thought he was good, Washington
said. He held them down to zeros for a pret-
ty good while. He used all his pitches, threw
the ball well.
As minor leaguer Sean Murphy limited
the Rangers to one single over 4 1-3 score-
less innings in his debut against big league
hitters.
It was definitely nerve-wracking,
Murphy said. That rst inning I was so
nervous. When you see a lineup like that,
who wouldnt get a little nervous?

national championship in womens
soccer its rst ever.
Making the immediate transition
to lacrosse was an ambitious move.
But the only thing that managed to
impede Farrs ability to do both was
a broken collarbone as a sopho-
more in 2012. After taking a med-
ical redshirt that season, she
bounced back in 2013 to help the
Cardinal to their seventh MPSF
title in eight years.
She does a really great job of
keeping things balanced, Bokker
said. She has her priorities in
check which I think makes every
transition easy for her.
After her March Madness binge,
it didnt take Farr much time to get
back into the swing of things
Saturday against St. Marys. After a
bit of a slow start in which Stanford
and St. Marys were deadlocked at 1-
1 midway through the rst half
Farr got burned on the rst Gaels
goal as senior Rachel Minarovich
ran right by her to net a close-range
shot the Cardinal responded by
rattling off six unanswered goals in
just over six minutes.
Farr went on to score three goals
for her rst hat trick of the season
amid a 16-4 romp by the Cardinal.
We wanted to come out and real-
ly make a statement [Saturday],
Farr said. We did not start very
well, and that was me included,
because I missed the rst slide. So
from then on, in my eyes, it was
just coming out and dominating
every single ball. And I think we did
a good job of that.
Farr now ranks third on the team
with 14 goals through the rst ve
weeks of the season, helping
Stanford to a 6-1 overall record and
a 2-0 start in MPSF play.
Stanford has done an outstanding
job of dominating through two
MPSF games this season, having
beaten Fresno State 19-5 in the
March 5 conference opener. The
Cardinals non-conference schedule
has been another story, however.
They have already played three
overtime matches this season, win-
ning the last two against their two
biggest opponents in No. 11-
ranked Towson and No. 14-ranked
Georgetown. Farr totaled ve goals
in the two matches and earned
MPSF Offensive Player of the Week
honors for her efforts.
The back-to-back upsets came on
the heels of a 16-15 overtime loss
to Vanderbilt March 2, Stanfords
only loss of the season. But like a
true competitor, which Farr is
through and through, the unofcial
team captain looked at the dramatic
loss not as an obstacle but as a step-
ping stone.
I think we were all pretty upset
about the Vanderbilt loss and it was
just a huge opportunity for us. We
knew we were playing some really
good teams and we were just really
red up, Farr said.
While Farr scored the game-win-
ning shot against Towson an
impromptu effort on a broken play
with one second remaining in the
rst of two requisite overtime peri-
ods she is even prouder of the
comeback against Georgetown. In
the match, the Hoyas led 10-4 but
the Cardinal held them scoreless
through the nal 23 minutes of reg-
ulation to rally for an eventual over-
time victory which Farr called the
greatest comeback of which she has
ever been a part.
Hannah is our biggest competi-
tor and I love that element she
brings to our team, Bokker said.
She competes in every moment. At
practice it brings a whole different
dynamic when she joins us in the
spring. And thats what she brings
on the eld each game. Shes a win-
ner.
The NCAA recently recognized
Farr as one of the top players in the
nation as she was named to the
Tewaaraton Award watch list for
lacrosses national player-of-the-
year honor. She is one of 53 players
in the nation to make the list, along
with two other Stanford players
senior attacker Rachel Ozer and
sophomore midelder Lucy Dikeou
both of whom were named to the
initial preseason list.
Even though Ozer and Dikeou are
currently one-two among Stanfords
scoring leaders, dont underestimate
Farr for the Tewaaraton Award. More
importantly, keep an eye on the No.
13-ranked Cardinal with Farr look-
ing to add another rst to her athlet-
ic resume as Stanford is hungry to
make a run at its rst ever lacrosse
national championship.
After all, Farr is driven by the
same ambition on the eld that
makes her a scholastic superstar in
the classroom.
Im very competitive, Farr said.
So I always wanted to be the best.

took her 12 minutes to take her rst shot, a
miss, and she also was off on her next ve.
Ogwumike, the Cardinals national player
of the year candidate, also started slowly.
She had two touches and one shot on
Stanfords rst eight possessions before
she scored on Amber Orranges entry pass.
Ogwumike scored three straight baskets,
Bonnie Samuelson made a 3-pointer and
Ogwumike sank a free throw to tie it at 14.
Ogwumikes three-point play and a couple
more baskets by Thompson and Samuelson
highlighted a 16-0 surge that ended with a
jumper by FSUs Cheetah Delgado.
The Cardinal rolled off the next 10 points
to make it a 16-point game at half. They
made nine straight shots over the halves
before Samuelson missed a 3-pointer. By
then it was 40-18.
Howard nished her career as FSUs sec-
ond-leading scorer (1,811 points) and career
rebounding leader (1,047).

WASHINGTON The Food and Drug
Administration is weighing the benets and
risks of two experimental colon cancer
screening tests which use DNA from a
patients stool to detect dangerous tumors
and growths.
FDA scientists have questions about the
accuracy and the potential real-world impact
of the kits from Epigenomics and Exact
Sciences, according to brieng documents
posted online Monday. The agency released
its reviews of the tests ahead of a two-day
meeting that starts Wednesday.
Doctors have long used stool tests to
look for hidden blood that can be a warning
sign of tumors and precancerous polyps.
Colon cancer is usually treatable if growths
are detected and removed before they multi-
ply and spread to other parts of the body.
Both tests under review were more accu-
rate at detecting tumors and worrisome
growths than traditional blood stool tests.
However, both tests also returned more false
positives reporting growths when none
were actually present.
In addition, the tests were less accurate in
patients of certain racial and ethnic groups,
including African-Americans. The FDA will
ask a panel of experts whether the tests
should have special warnings for those
patients, among on other questions, at its
meeting later this week. The agency is not
required to follow such expert advice.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading
cause of cancer death in the U.S., with over
50,000 deaths expected this year, according
to the American Cancer Society. Deaths
from the disease have been declining for
more than two decades, a development
attributed to increased screening in patients
ages 50 to 75. Still, only about 60 percent
of people in that age group have had recom-
mended screenings.
Colonoscopy is the most accurate test but
many adults are reluctant to undergo the
invasive procedure, which requires several
hours under sedation as doctors probe the
colon with a camera-tted catheter.
Blood stool tests are less accurate but can
be just as effective if used every year,
according to a federally-appointed panel
that sets testing recommendations. Aposi-
tive result doesnt automatically mean a
patient has cancer but is usually a red ag

that leads to confirmatory testing via
colonoscopy.
Approving either of the new stool tests
could reshuffle current testing practice, a
fact reflected in the FDAs review. The
agency suggests both tests would require
additional follow-up studies to see how
accurately they perform over several years.
Neither company has offered instructions
for how frequently patients should be test-
ed with the technology, which is expected
to be more expensive than traditional blood
tests.
An editorial by two Veterans Affairs doc-
tors addressed this issue in last weeks
issue of the New England Journal of
Medicine.
Only through a better understanding of
other key factors, such as the screening
interval, adherence, cost and diagnostic
evaluation of positive results, can we deter-
mine the appropriate place for stool DNA
testing on the screening menu, stated the
authors, Dr. Douglas Robertson and Dr.
Jason Dominitz. Neither author has any
affiliation with the test makers. The journal
published study results for Exact Sciences
Cologuard test ahead of this weeks meet-
ing. Exact Sciences Corp. is based in
Madison, Wis.
Cologuard appeared to be the more effec-
tive of the two tests, according to the FDAs
analysis.
The test accurately detected colorectal
cancer 92 percent of the time in patients
who had cancerous tumors. That was better
than the 74 percent accuracy of the tradi-
tional blood stool test. In patients with pre-
cancerous polyps the test was accurate 42
percent of the time, compared with 24 per-
cent for the blood test.
However, Cologuard was less accurate at
ruling out cancer in healthy patients. When
the test cleared patients it was correct about
87 percent of time, less than the traditional
test which accurately identified cancer-free
patients 95 percent of the time.
The FDA will ask its panelists what kind
of follow-up instructions should be given
to patients who test negative with
Cologuard, so they dont presume they are
cancer-free. Agency scientists express con-
cern that patients could defer additional
screening after a negative result indefinite-
ly if insufficient advice on follow-up test-
ing is provided.
Benchmark analyst Jan Wald said the
FDA review appeared positive for Exact
Sciences. We believe that approval is as
close to a done deal as any regulatory
process can be, the analyst wrote in a note.
Wald expressed less optimism about
Epigenomics Epi proColon test, which did
not all of its study goals.
According to the FDA review, the Berlin-
based companys test accurately detected
cancer in 68 percent of patients with can-
cerous tumors. The test only successfully
identified healthy patients 79 percent of the
time, not good enough to meet the studys
goal of achieving parity with traditional
blood testing. FDA scientists warned that
lower specificity could lead to an increase
in the number of avoidable colonoscopies
and adverse events associated with such
invasive procedures.
Neither company tested their product
against the only FDA-approved DNA stool
test currently on the market, ColoSure from
LabCorp, which is based in Burlington, N.C.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
the federal testing advisory board has
not endorsed ColoSure, saying there is not
enough evidence available about its benets
and harms.
Shares of Exact Sciences Corp. rose 66
cents, or 4.9 percent, to $14.22. Shares of
LabCorp, whose full name is Laboratory
Corp. of America Holdings, fell $2.16, or
2.2 percent, to $94.87.
COLON
Vill and Sac Street gangs of East Palo Alto
teamed up against the Taliban gang of East
Palo Alto and Menlo Park. The motive, as
with much gang violence, appears to be a
matter of control, power and respect, said
Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen
Guidotti.
One slight turned into an act of violence
which created more and turned into a cycle
of retaliation, Guidotti said.
Those indicted are Raymond Bradford,
28, of East Palo Alto; Roberto Bustos-
Montes, 24, of East Palo Alto; Nina
Mehrnoosh Cragg, 23, of Palo Alto;
Ralph Vernon Fields Jr., 26, of East Palo
Alto, Emmanuel Hyland, 25, of East Palo
Alto; Tyrone Love-Lopez, 21, of East Palo
Alto; Eric Valencia Vargas, 20, of East
Palo Alto; Marvin Jake Ware, 26, of East
Palo Alto, Donte Demon Jordan, 19, of
East Palo Alto; Roshawn Bickham, 25 of
Hayward; LaQuisha Walker, 27, of East
Palo Alto; Leonard James Gaines, 21, of
East Palo Alto; Rodney Levence Mitchell,
22, of Newark; Robert Wheller Jr., 26, of
Hayward; Jerry Coneal III, 19, of Menlo
Park and Miguel Angel Rivera Jr., 23, of
East Palo Alto.
All but two of the 11 arraigned Monday
asked for court-appointed attorneys and
each postponed pleas until April 11. They
are held on amounts ranging from
$500,000 to no bail.
The indictments not only hold these
defendants accountable but also send a
message to those still in the community,
law enforcement officials said.
We are going to come after you. We are
going to put you behind bars, Sheriff
Greg Munks said.
The September 2012 shooting that
began the crime spree documented in the
indictment happened in Belmont, a city
not used to dealing with crime of that
nature, Police Chief Dan DeSmidt said.
In that instance, Vargas allegedly shot
into another car on southbound Highway
101 near the Ralston Avenue exit. Two
passengers were struck by bullets. Vargas
was arrested in December 2012 and charged
with attempted murder. In July 2013, Ware
and Bradford were charged with helping
Vargas track and attempt to murder a gang
rival in the other car. All three belong to
the Da Vill gang and allegedly followed
their target from his mothers home onto
the freeway before opening fire. Bradford
is also charged with the attempted robbery
in a Middlefield Road jewelry store heist
that ended with the clerk pulling out a
shotgun.
The shooting happened between a sports
complex and a residential neighborhood,
DeSmidt said.
On Oct. 5, Bradford, Bustos-Montes,
Hyland and Vargas fatally shot
Christopher Baker, 21, in East Palo Alto,
Wagstaffe said.
Stoney Gipson was the next to die in
San Francisco on Oct. 7, according to law
enforcement, followed by Jonathan Neri
Alzacar on Jan. 14, 2013, in East Palo
Alto and Lamont Darnell Coleman, 21, on
Jan. 16, 2013, in East Palo Alto.
In between the murders, the defendants
allegedly committed numerous other
crimes including shootings and dissuading
witnesses.
The criminal grand jury investigation
left members stunned at the level of vio-
lence, Wagstaffe said. The jury spent two
months on the case which is eight times
longer than any other ever conducted in
county history, he said.
The work is not done until there are zero
homicides, said interim East Palo Alto
Police Chief Lee Violett.
In 2013, the city had eight homicides.
Too many young men have died vio-
lently, Violett said.

GANG
HEALTH 19
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON The nations largest
minority group risks being left behind by
President Barack Obamas health care over-
haul.
Hispanics account for about one-third of
the nations uninsured, but they seem to be
staying on the on the sidelines as the White
House races to meet a goal of 6 million sign-
ups by March 31.
Latinos are not at the table, says Jane
Delgado, president of the National Alliance
for Hispanic Health, a nonpartisan advocacy
network. We are not going to be able to
enroll at the levels we should be enrolling
at.
Thats a loss both for Latinos who are try-
ing to put down middle-class roots and for the
Obama administration, experts say.
Hispanics who remain uninsured could face
nes, not to mention exposing their families
to high medical bills from accidents or
unforeseen illness. And the government
wont get the full advantage of a group thats
largely young and healthy, helping keep pre-
miums low in the new insurance markets.
The enrollment rate for Hispanic-
Americans seems to be very low, and I would
be really concerned about that, says
Brookings Institution health policy expert
Mark McClellan. It is a large population that
has a lot to gain ... but they dont seem to be
taking advantage. McClellan oversaw the
rollout of Medicares prescription drug bene-
t for President George W. Bush.
The Obama administration says it has no
statistics on the race and ethnicity of those
signing up in the insurance exchanges, mar-
kets that offer subsidized private coverage in
every state. Consumers provide those details
voluntarily, so federal ofcials say any tally
would be incomplete and possibly mislead-
ing.
But concern is showing through, and its
coming from the highest levels.
You dont punish me by not signing up for
health care, Obama told Hispanic audiences
during a recent televised town hall. Youre
punishing yourself or your family.
Like a candidate hunting for votes in the
closing days of a campaign, Obama was back
on Hispanic airwaves Monday as Univision
Radio broadcast his latest pitch.
The problem is if you get in an accident,
if you get sick, or somebody in your family
gets sick, you could end up being bank-
rupt, the president said.
Only last September, three of ve Latinos
supported the national overhaul, according to
the Pew Research Center. Approval dropped
sharply during October, as technical prob-
lems paralyzed the health care rollout and the
Spanish-language version of the
HealthCare.gov website. Hispanics are now
evenly divided in their views.
Abig Gallup survey recently showed tepid
sign-up progress. While the share of African-
Americans who are uninsured dropped by 2.6
percentage points this year, the decline
among Hispanics was just 0.8 percentage
point.
In California, where Latinos account for 46
percent of those eligible for subsidized cover-
age through the exchange, they represented
22 percent of those who had enrolled by the
end February and had also volunteered their
race or ethnicity. The state is scrambling to
improve its numbers in this weeks home
stretch.
Experts cite overlapping factors behind
disappointing Latino sign-ups:
Ashortage of in-person helpers to guide
consumers. In our community, trust and con-
dence is so important you want to make
sure its OK before you share all this personal
information, Delgado said. Theres been a
lack of culturally sensitive outreach to
Latinos, added Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas.
Fear that applying for health care will
bring unwelcome scrutiny from immigration
authorities. The health insurance exchanges
are only for citizens and legal U.S. residents,
but many Hispanic families have mixed
immigration status. Some members may be
native born, while others might be here ille-
gally. Obama has tried to dispel concerns,
repeatedly saying that information on appli-
cations will not be shared with immigration
authorities.

Engrith Acosta, patient care coordinator at AltaMed, speaks to a man during a community
outreach on Obamacare in Los Angeles.Concerns among Hispanics that signing up for medical
insurance under President Barack Obamas healthcare law may draw the scrutiny of immigration
authorities has hurt enrollment, according to advocates of the policy.
California to send voter
forms to insurance enrollees
SACRAMENTO The state of California
has agreed to mail voter registration cards
to nearly 4 million people who have signed
up for insurance through its health care
exchange after a threat of a lawsuit, the
American Civil Liberties Union said
Monday.
The ACLU of California and others said
they threatened to sue the state for failure to
comply with the National Voter
Registration Act, also called the Motor
Voter Act. The law is designed to make it
easier for voters to register by requiring
opportunities to apply at ofces that pro-
vide public services.
The ACLU said Covered California had
provided no opportunities since it launched
Oct. 1. The mailings begin Monday and are
required to be completed by May 5.
The 19-page agreement also commits the
state to develop procedures by this fall to
ensure that all insurance applicants have an
opportunity to register to vote, whether
they apply in person, online, by phone or
mail.
Dale Ho, director of the ACLUs Voting
Rights Project, called the settlement a warn-
ing to other health exchanges that he says
have not provided voter registration oppor-
tunities, such as Nevada, Hawaii,
Washington and Washington, D.C.
California doctors
speed up Valley fever diagnosis
FRESNO California doctors have found
a way to diagnose the fungal disease Valley
fever through DNA testing, allowing treat-
ment of patients to begin almost immedi-
ately, ofcials said Monday.
Community Regional Medical Center in
Fresno is performing the DNA test that can
identify the disease in as few as ve hours,
rather than waiting more than two weeks for
the results of blood tests, ofcials said.
Theres still no cure for Valley fever,
which can be deadly, but doctors said with
early detection they can keep symptoms in
check.
Anything that helps diagnose it quicker
is always a plus, said Dr. Dominic T.
Dizon, an assistant professor at the
University of California, San Francisco,
who is based in Fresno.

pected the father of the student, a sec-
ond-grader at one of the districts ele-
mentary schools during the 2012-13
school year, had recorded an individu-
alized education program, or IEP, meet-
ing between him and a teacher. The dis-
trict has a policy that requires parents
to provide 24-hour advance notice if
they intend to audio record these types
of meetings. However, California
Education Code provides parents with
the right to record an IEP meeting.
Although there is the provision requir-
ing the 24-hour notice, it doesnt pro-
vide for any penalty or consequence
for a failure to provide the notice and
doesnt make a failure to provide it a
criminal act.
Still, in a September 2012 email
message to the districts director of
Student Services, counsel for the dis-
trict stated, intentional recording
without consent of a condential com-
munication violates penal code sec-
tion 632. First time violator subject to
$2,500 ne or up to one year in prison
or both.
According to the departments
report, the district sent a deputy sheriff
to the familys home in October 2012
and spoke to the girls mother who
said no one recorded the meeting. The
deputy closed the investigation the
same day, completed his report and
stated the report was for informational
purposes only and there was no proof a
crime was committed.
Further, an adequate investigation
would have provided complainants
with an opportunity to deny the alle-
gation and provide the reason for the
fathers actions, the report stated.
Even assuming that the district had
a reasonable basis to believe the father
was recording the September 2012
meeting, [the Ofce of Civil Rights]
concludes that its response in report-
ing him to law enforcement, with the
possibility that he would be charged
with a felony, was signicantly dis-
proportionate to the nature of his
action especially given that, under
education code, his recording would
have not been subject to Penal Code
632, the letter states.
There were several other actions the
district could have taken such as send-
ing a letter reminding the com-
plainants of the notice requirement,
the letter stated. The letter stated the
district did know of a true violation of
the law in a different parent case
violating the terms of a restraining
order and it didnt make a referral of
the matter to law enforcement and per-
mitted the parent to leave.
Any report to law enforcement of
possible criminal conduct by parents
undoubtedly has a deterrent and chill-
ing effect on parents and their willing-
ness to actively participate in their
childrens education and advocate on
their behalf, the letter states. As
such, involving law enforcement in
school matters should be reserved for
those instances when the misconduct
or harm is sufcient to warrant such
involvement.
As a result of the investigation, the
district agreed to revise and distribute
its policy and regulation regarding
governing the uniform complaint pro-
cedure, develop and distribute a memo-
randum regarding unlawful retaliation
and provide training on the topic and
send a letter to the complainants about
this matter. The Ofce of Civil Rights
will monitor the implementation.
The district is committed to fair,
non-retaliatory treatment of all stu-
dents and families and it respectfully
disagrees with the characterization of
facts and conclusions in the OCRs
report, according to a district state-
ment provided by board President
Adam Rak. However, the district has
entered into a resolution agreement
that has been accepted by the OCR that
does not admit any liability on behalf
of the district. This agreement pro-
vides for certain corrective actions
that allow the district and the affected
family to move forward in a positive
manner that best serves the students
educational interests.
The statement goes on to say the
nding does not affect the full faith and
condence the district has in its staff
and the district looks forward to con-
tinuing its focus on providing out-
standing education for the children and
families it serves.

lawsuit.
After the ruling, Galligan said in an
email to the Daily Journal that
Raigoza has been a great county
employee and the court petition was
never anything personal against him.
If we are going to have someone in
charge of our $2.1 billion county
budget, we want a professional, he
wrote.
Galligan contended that Raigoza,
who is not a CPA or auditor and has
only held the assistant spot for less
than two years, could not legally run
because he did not meet one of the four
possible criteria: Be a Certied Public
Accountant; or, possess a degree from
an accredited four-year institution with
a major in accounting or its equivalent
and serve in a senior scal manage-
ment position at a private rm, gov-
ernment agency or nonprot for at
least three years straight within the
last ve years; or, be certied as a pro-
fessional internal auditor with a mini-
mum of 16 semester units or equivalent
in accounting, auditing or nance; or
serve as the county auditor, chief
deputy county auditor or chief assis-
tant county auditor for at least three
years continuously.
Raigoza has an accounting degree
and MBA. He was named assistant con-
troller in 2012 when Controller Bob
Adler was appointed to nish his pre-
decessors unexpired term. Adler is
retiring this year, leaving the con-
troller seat one of the few open ofces
on the June ballot.
Galligan challenged Raigozas cre-
dentials earlier this month shortly
after both qualied with enough signa-
tures for the ballot. The Elections
Ofce veries a candidates gathered
signatures for validity but does not
review the declaration of candidacy
including credential. If another candi-
date questions them, he or she must
petition the court for a determination.

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 2014
ARIES (March 21-April 19) There is no need to be
envious. Devote your energy to your goals, and you
will be successful. Precious time will be wasted if you
get caught up making comparisons.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Consider the
consequences before rushing into a situation, or you
may end up repeating past errors. Make sure to take a
long look at any proposition that comes your way.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Dont sell yourself
short. Be proud of all you have experienced and
accomplished. Expanding your social circle will
provide you with influential new associations. Put
your assets front and center.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Dont be reluctant to
act quickly if an opportunity arises. The offer may be
revoked if you are too slow to accept, and you could
lose a chance to advance your position.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Get involved with those
who have similar ambitions to yours. You have made
great strides, but a little extra help never hurts. A
team effort will be benecial to your current situation.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) While your
professional profile may be strong, a personal
relationship may be weakening. Allot some time to
take care of your home, family, friendships and any
other connection you deem important.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Maximize the
positive energy that currently surrounds you. I ts
likely that your current colleagues will play a key
role in your future plans.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Its ne to follow your
dreams, but be honest about your intentions. Dont
make any false promises if you want to continue to
get the necessary help to reach your goals.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Romance is
highlighted. Take a chance and get involved in a project
that interests you. A sudden change of plans will take
you by surprise and bring you a tasty reward.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Refuse to be
bullied into something that you dont agree with. Be
exible, and try to arrange a compromise that will suit
everyone. Dont say something you may regret later.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Keep abreast of
whats going on around you. Focus on collaborating
with inuential people. Consider the past before
renewing contact with an old friend or lover.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You shouldnt
assume that everyone is as honest as you are. Do
your homework before accepting a tempting offer. An
exciting new prospect may come with strings attached.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Lawremce D. Farnan, aka Larry
Farnan
Case Number: 124257
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Lawrence D. Farnan,
aka Larry Farnan. A Petition for Probate
has been filed by Nancy H Mathai in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate re-
quests that Nancy H Mathai be appoint-
ed as personal representative to admin-
ister the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble of examination in the file kept by the
court
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: April 15, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
